WE’D LIKE TO HEAR MORE. MUCH MORE, ON GOP PLANS FOR STEALING 2008 A LA 2004 & 2008.
We heard Harvey Wasserman? a week or two ago on the show, which reminded us of Greg Palast’s article on Rove’s 2008 computer-generated voter challenge plan.
Could you get someone–Palast, Moore, anyone, on to talk about how to get this in the “public domain” before another election is stolen, and we all run around cluck-clucking. Maybe a Dem candidate would have to make it a media issue–like the “Emperor Has no Clothes” type.
We’re both psychologists and can’t figure out what goes on with Dem candidates mind’s–and we know they’re very finky on most issues, but still you’d think that people who appear to work like the devil for the nomination, and then meekly conceded to fraud. They act like its’ a tea party where we don’t speak of nasty things like stealing elections.

Here in Holland, you register with your municipality when you go and live there. You receive, automatically, a voter card at the address you’re registered at. At election day, you bring the voter card and your passport, and you can vote (or not, if you choose to do so).

But that system, of course, allows blacks and other non-white immigrants to vote. Call me crazy, but that system sounds rather democratic.

PALAST ARTICLE AND SOURCES

By Greg Palast
Reporting for Newsnight

The Bush administration made plans for war and for Iraq’s oil before the 9/11 attacks, sparking a policy battle between neo-cons and Big Oil, BBC’s Newsnight has revealed.

Iraqi-born Falah Aljibury says US Neo-Conservatives planned to force a coup d’etat in Iraq

Two years ago today - when President George Bush announced US, British and Allied forces would begin to bomb Baghdad - protesters claimed the US had a secret plan for Iraq’s oil once Saddam had been conquered.

In fact there were two conflicting plans, setting off a hidden policy war between neo-conservatives at the Pentagon, on one side, versus a combination of “Big Oil” executives and US State Department “pragmatists”.

“Big Oil” appears to have won. The latest plan, obtained by Newsnight from the US State Department was, we learned, drafted with the help of American oil industry consultants.

Insiders told Newsnight that planning began “within weeks” of Bush’s first taking office in 2001, long before the September 11th attack on the US.

We saw an increase in the bombing of oil facilities and pipelines [in Iraq] built on the premise that privatisation is coming

Mr Falah Aljibury

An Iraqi-born oil industry consultant, Falah Aljibury, says he took part in the secret meetings in California, Washington and the Middle East. He described a State Department plan for a forced coup d’etat.

Mr Aljibury himself told Newsnight that he interviewed potential successors to Saddam Hussein on behalf of the Bush administration.

Secret sell-off plan

The industry-favoured plan was pushed aside by a secret plan, drafted just before the invasion in 2003, which called for the sell-off of all of Iraq’s oil fields. The new plan was crafted by neo-conservatives intent on using Iraq’s oil to destroy the Opec cartel through massive increases in production above Opec quotas.

Former Shell Oil USA chief stalled plans to privatise Iraq’s oil industry

The sell-off was given the green light in a secret meeting in London headed by Mr Chalabi shortly after the US entered Baghdad, according to Robert Ebel.

Mr Ebel, a former Energy and CIA oil analyst, now a fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, told Newsnight he flew to the London meeting at the request of the State Department.

Mr Aljibury, once Ronald Reagan’s “back-channel” to Saddam, claims that plans to sell off Iraq’s oil, pushed by the US-installed Governing Council in 2003, helped instigate the insurgency and attacks on US and British occupying forces.

“Insurgents used this, saying, ‘Look, you’re losing your country, you’re losing your resources to a bunch of wealthy billionaires who want to take you over and make your life miserable,’” said Mr Aljibury from his home near San Francisco.

“We saw an increase in the bombing of oil facilities, pipelines, built on the premise that privatisation is coming.”

Privatisation blocked by industry

Philip Carroll, the former CEO of Shell Oil USA who took control of Iraq’s oil production for the US Government a month after the invasion, stalled the sell-off scheme.

Mr Carroll told us he made it clear to Paul Bremer, the US occupation chief who arrived in Iraq in May 2003, that: “There was to be no privatisation of Iraqi oil resources or facilities while I was involved.”

Amy Jaffee says oil companies fear a privatisation would exclude foreign firms

Ariel Cohen, of the neo-conservative Heritage Foundation, told Newsnight that an opportunity had been missed to privatise Iraq’s oil fields.

He advocated the plan as a means to help the US defeat Opec, and said America should have gone ahead with what he called a “no-brainer” decision.

Mr Carroll hit back, telling Newsnight, “I would agree with that statement. To privatize would be a no-brainer. It would only be thought about by someone with no brain.”

New plans, obtained from the State Department by Newsnight and Harper’s Magazine under the US Freedom of Information Act, called for creation of a state-owned oil company favoured by the US oil industry. It was completed in January 2004 under the guidance of Amy Jaffe of the James Baker Institute in Texas.

Formerly US Secretary of State, Baker is now an attorney representing Exxon-Mobil and the Saudi Arabian government.

Questioned by Newsnight, Ms Jaffe said the oil industry prefers state control of Iraq’s oil over a sell-off because it fears a repeat of Russia’s energy privatisation. In the wake of the collapse of the Soviet Union, US oil companies were barred from bidding for the reserves.

Ms Jaffe says US oil companies are not warm to any plan that would undermine Opec and the current high oil price: “I’m not sure that if I’m the chair of an American company, and you put me on a lie detector test, I would say high oil prices are bad for me or my company.”

The former Shell oil boss agrees. In Houston, he told Newsnight: “Many neo conservatives are people who have certain ideological beliefs about markets, about democracy, about this, that and the other. International oil companies, without exception, are very pragmatic commercial organizations. They don’t have a theology.”

A State Department spokesman told Newsnight they intended “to provide all possibilities to the Oil Ministry of Iraq and advocate none”.

It is very difficult for people (including those who make the law and those who enforce it) to maintain respect for the law or the rights of others when high-profile persons commit such blatant violations without any real penalty. What are we supposed to teach our children?

oh wait, that was Jack Palance. Damn.

1. This whole “controversy” over the firing of district attorneys is a fabricated scandal by the Democrats. Any hiring or firing of a district attorney by a President has always been for political reasons. The Dems didn’t get to hang Karl Rove with the outcome of the Scooter-Libby Trial, fondly referred to for years, as a “shadow over the administration”, in the media. So now we get treated to another of the Dems round of political grandstanding. It just goes to show that they are willing to do whatever it takes to make sure their constituents sleep at night. It doesn’t speak well for their constituents, when they are willing to settle for such cheap lies and baseless accusations in order to put their party back in power.

2. From the title of the article, I thought this was going to be about the Ted Kennedy Amnesty Bill. I mean, couldn’t you see how that really could put the Latin vote in the Dems back-pocket?

3. The only time I hear people say that the election was “stolen” is when a Republican wins. No one questions the voter fraud that the Republicans were up against. Or have you not been paying attention to the constant loosening of Voter regulations by the Dems lately? They’re constantly opposed to a simple photo ID requirement, to which the government offers to fit the bill and grants more than ample time to register. The only piece missing is an earlier get-out-and-vote campaign for the less fortunate (but, legal citizens) and BOOM problem solved.

4. Do any of you remember that the Dems promised they were going to cleanup Washington? Has anyone see any serious ethic reform bills lately? No, you haven’t. So let’s get real about the bi-partisan widespread corruption that’s burning our democracy up in flames and stop pointing fingers!

Here is the link to these treasonous dangerous documents NSPD-51 and HSPD-20

http://www.fas.org/irp/offdocs/nspd/nspd-51.htm

Why is there no Media coverage of this one and why is Congress silent on this abomination and outright treason..?

This may be why Gonzales is so smug and Karl Rove had a secret visit to Congress recently..

All it takes is anything Bush declares an Emergency and he can even postpone free elections and the emergency does not even have to occur in America itself..!

This is nuts and our Congress should have immediately called for Impeachment for even trying this he signs his own right to take over all government with no oversight..

The Republic is in greater danger than ever in our history and it’s Bush not al-Qaeda that threatens our Republic itself he and his Texas Mafia and the other criminals and liars and sycophants that surround him..!

These are Presidential Directives on National Security and Homeland Security..

All the Bush and bin-Laden families have to do is arrange another attack upon America and we are under G.W. Bush Dictator..or even just a Hurricane anything if some one” farts in his general direction” He can Declare Emergency and is then Dictator..!

The Supreme Court will uphold this as the Federalist Society now controls what was our Supreme Court with their vile pernicious pusillanimous majority..especially that lying criminal swine Sam Alito..old story but true, Sam Alito is a criminal..and now also a Traitor..to the Constitution and our very system of government as well..

And so say I, TJ Colatrella

Happy Memorial Day..!
