The Unauthorized Biography of Dick Cheney

This is old, but it serves to remind us why, on so many levels, the Big Dick should be given his proper reward for his public service: secure government housing at taxpayer expense in Leavenworth, Kansas.

"unauthorized biography" is enough to establish that Cheney is a ruthless psychopath. It appears that every decision he has made has been designed to advance him towards limitless power. I'm sure he's still wielding that power--somewhere, somehow.

The outrage should span the Media and the American University System. However the short reference to use force to diminish free speech among the students or the staff of Universities is interesting to note. Bias in government grants usually the reason Universities are silent.

The Media is another cash cow money laundry system that accepted special commercial advertisement money, glitz, and fan fair reporting daily about the wars Bush and Cheney offered to America to take vengeance and smoke the enemy out. All because of a master plot by a master villain Osama Bin Laden, which they likely knew was about to happen…holding the door open for ground zero.

What many don’t report is the Bush Bin Laden family business partnerships that exist for decades. A hugely unreported profiteering relation between Bush, and Bin Laden family connections, in the Carlyle Group, and other Saudi Arabs. Millions to billions made in profiteering by war through the decades. A political sham, and shamefully sacking the treasury for trillions of dollars.

This whole era is teaming with treason and profiteering fraud and worse a legacy of veterans today commit suicide at the rate of twenty two a day, or eight thousand a year. The era is a disgrace in America policy with no political courage to bring justice. With that said America as the melting pot will attract even more deception, cowards, crooks, political swindlers, and likely doomed the American dream of good and justice, making a mockery of the American Constitution, and the international laws of torture.

Cheney should be in prison awaiting execution for war crimes, violations of international law, and violations of the US Constitution. His continued freedom proves that America is not what it says it is.

The Big Dick was still Vice Premier at the time it was made.

I think the only respect he gets is from the fawning media that put him on the air in the first place and the neocons still in Congress, who turn up on the Chuck Todd Show on Sunday morning without any other guest to challenge them.
