OBSW. . ." and none dare call it treason . . ."

Okay. . .

". . .and so this is (Fitzmas). . .and what have (we) done. . .another (trial) over. . .a(nd many more to come). . ."

"And so this is (Fitzmas). . .for weak and for strong. . .For rich and for poor ones. . .The world is so wrong. . .For yellow and red ones. . .Let's stop all the fight. . .A very merry (Fitzmas). . .and a happy new (cheer). . .Let's hope it's a good one. . .Without any fear. . ."

". . .War is over if you want it. . .war is over now" (props and apologies to the ever illustrious John & Yoko)

Not to pee on anyone's parade or anything but ya know. . . we've all been so repressed and lied to for so-o-o long that we've been thrown a mere crumb of justice and we're reacting as though it's a wedding cake the size of St. Paul's bloody Cathedral. (a metaphor stolen sorta from Dr. Who)

It's as if conviction on 4 relatively minor counts in the face of blatant and overt criminality has miraculously fused the glaring crack in the Liberty Bell or somethin'.

Well may be let's may be make it even more so.

Yoo Hoo. . .

"treason n. 1. betrayal of trust or faith; treachery 2. violation of allegiance owed to one sovereign or state; betrayal of one's country, specifically, in the US (as declared in the Constitution) consisting only in levying war against the US or in giving aid and comfort to its enemies."

Now this goon squad of pseudo elected officials took oaths to protect us from all enemies, both foreign and domestic. . .'member?

Now consider this. . .

Coupled with this. . .

http://www.motherjones.com/news/featurex/2007/03/iraq_effect_1.html

Tripled with this. .

Hearsay: The allegation that not only did "hogwash" have a long standing vendetta against Wilson rooted in poppy's days when "hogwash's" BS was repeatedly discredited by Wilson's astute, accurate, and compelling knowledge and familiarity in Southwest Asia, but Brewster Jennings (Plame's cover biz) was hot on the trail of connecting "hogwash" (aka crashcart) with that Pakistani guy named Kahn who was running the "nuclear Walmart" at the time, selling info to two of the three leaders of the venomously and foolishly projected "axis of evil" .

Quadrupled by. . . though these thugs repeatedly claim the right to secrecy based on "national security" when all they've done is loot the treasury, trash the Constitution, sully our global reputation, and piss off the entire rest of the world, let's may be indulge in thinking for a moment or two a day, one collective thought.

Consider the following to be the quintupling. . .of all of this mess.

I idly mentioned "demand resignations' on kpete's thread earlier yesterday in a few words and got a number of responses that far exceeded my few words. So I felt I may have inadvertently struck a collective cyber nerve.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x348628

One person responded by saying, "I can't see it happening." That particular response reminded me of how, though I've done a bunch of politically oriented prayer threads of late, I've neglected to include a visualization as I did on the election day thread. Some people are simply, more visual than verbal.

That particular visualization was stolen from a thread that had been posted about a week before the election and suggested to envision the '07 SOTU with Congesslady & sparklingly new Speaker Pelosi sitting by an uncomfortable looking VP behind * at the podium. (the OP didn't use those adjectives really)

the election day prayer thread

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=364&topic_id=2589421

Of course the impact or degree of influence of that visualization is immeasurable but the reality is that it did in fact, transpire in that way.

So hows about doing yet another fun experiment in group thought. . .?

Every time we feel powerless and repressed by this government that has pathetically digressed to be of the corporations, for the corporations, and by the corporations, instead of ranting and spewing vitriol and complaining incessantly, maybe just. . .

". . .close your eyes. . .you can close your eyes. . .it's all right. . ."

and visualize Madam Pelosi standing behind a podium with the Presidential Seal on it.

WARNING: This is not recommended to do whilst operating heavy machinery.

Let's make it happen with our hearts and minds.

have a nice day and evening and many more to come.

Aaaand. . . Merry Merry Fitzmas !!!

"Creatrix" bless his intrepidly honest and clear spirit and soul.

last week's prayer thread

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=389&topic_id=335004

the prayer thread from the previous week

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=389&topic_id=280297

the dire need for progressives to FOCUS

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=389&topic_id=41483
(I would now modify that thread to stress further specifically that the IWR authorized * to use force in Iraq to make Saddam comply with UN sanctions. Ahhh. . . he was already in compliance at the time of our ghastly invasion)

Or maybe if you're REALLY lazy, just chant "Ooga, Booga, Smooga, Wooga" = OBSW = "Oh Bull Shit W"

http://www.cafepress.com/helderheid/2380944

(all proceeds go entirely to progressive causes)

"nam-myoho-renge-kyo"

is an easy one to envision...

and btw, I think Fitzi's statement today - is just his style. He is letting them all go about their business- and he patiently waits and waits and smack.

even envisioning the VP, better yet also * sitting in a defendant's chair is easy

have the entire cabinet resign while we're at it.


and We The People will act towards it

ooga booga here we come

:)

was Fitz reminding us of the fact that they banned the existence of independent prosecutors. Their presumed achievement of impunity starting from that ban to the minimization of th ICC and UN was stunningly systematic and masterfully orchestrated.

Yikes.

Well they still can't control our minds entirely. So that's what we've got.

May be let's just keep picturing Pelosi at that podium and see what happens.

tra la la

I pointed this out to a Bush defender today. He couldn't respond.

Every major Republican administration since Nixon has required the use of a sacrificial lamb to shield themselves from prosecution.

Nixon....Colson

Reagon....Ollie North

Bush 2....."Scooter" Libby

I figure Bush 1 doesn't qualify as a 'major' president. Plus, he wasn't in office long enough for his sins to be exposed.

It didn't work for Nixon, he eventually resigned under threat of impeachment. It worked for Reagon, he still has his "hero" status among Republicans.

Will it work for Bush? He has around 20 months to continue to dodge the "bullet." (Quotes so nobody thinks I'm advocating violence, here)

because the country never really dealt with it.

This time - let's make sure they will be held accountable.


Let's envision them all disgraced and barred from ever holding public office again.

Just a few GANGSTAS form Iran Contra, which found their way into Mad king Boy George's MisAdministration, the one listed below is in bold.

More here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_H._W._Bush's_pardons

December 24, 1992

Pardoned
Caspar W. Weinberger (1988 Several counts of perjury, See Iran-Contra Affair)

Elliott Abrams (1988 Two counts of unlawfully withholding information. See Iran-Contra Affair)

Duane R. Clarridge (1991 Seven counts of perjury and false statements, See Iran-Contra Affair)

Alan D. Fiers (1991 Two misdemeanor counts of withholding information from the Congress, See Iran-Contra Affair)

Clair George
(1991 Ten counts of perjury, false statements and obstruction)
(1992 two felony charges of false statements and perjury before Congress — see Iran-Contra Affair)

Robert C. McFarlane (1988 See Iran-Contra Affair)

Raygun was specifically selected for his incompetent boobery and his Alzheimers. It would not surprise me one iota if the Busheviks had got ahold of his medical report in 1980 which showed Alzheimer's precursors.

from there, it was just a matter of getting Poppy Augustus selected as Raygun's VP (say, WHO would have become President if Raygun had been assassinated by Bush Family Friend John Hinckley)and the Busheviks ran the country from 1980-1992.

Raygun just sat and drooled, clueless. Nancy was insufficient to protect his interests (it wasn't like they invited her to THEIR meetings when they were setting up Saddam to be attacked in '90) and there never were many Raygun people in the Bush I White House 1980-1992. Don Regan was the last and he was gone by '84, as was a good portion of Raygun's waning mental faculties.

So, Poppy Augustus ruled FULLY from the sahdows from 1984 on, and it is quite likely he really ran things from the start.

Do not kid yourself. raygun, the senile old GOP saint, never even ran the country he pretended to and fronted for a gang of murderers.

The diabolical agenda of this crew can never be "misunderestimated".

This is the most un insightful collection of people anywhere, at any time. They reel from one catastrophe to another, all the time thinking that they're actually going somewhere but, in fact, they're just running in circles with one foot nailed to the floor. It's like some sick comedy that turns into a horror film, again and again, every time we open our eyes enough to watch.

You are right, we are right, they must go.

INDICT CHENEY NOW!!!

:applause:

and surround the country with light as well...and yes, visualizations work.

Thanks Stella!!

Now that you've gone ahead and posted that lovely image you've given me no choice but to repost the 2nd of my "19 tricks or Weapons of Massive Creation for Global Amelioration" from last year. . .another visualization.

"2. Visualize the planet bathed in a regal violet-purple light at least
momentarily once daily.

(Violet-"Purple rain, purple""reign". . . : )

It can be that simple and easy for those who are unaccustomed to routine
visualization. For reasons I'll explain in far greater specificity in
a subsequent version, violet-purple rays of transmutational light will
gently wake up several sleeping souls and solve problems, ages old in
many places and will ameliorate even circumstances most dire. Focusing
on regions most conflicted (D.C., the MidEast, Iraq. the Gulf Coast ,
and the entire continent of Africa. . .etc) will help as well.

Blue + Red = Purple which is the highest vibration of light in the spectrum
and could expedite the manifestation of a truly humane spirituality based
on basic kindness and humor, and that which we all share globally.

(For those of earthier orientations who unlike many spiritualists,
don't necessarily resonate with the violet-purple vibration, another
alternative suggested by a differing source would be to project a
vibrant green around the globe. That color will most likely hasten the
healing of our woefully damaged ecosystems and many sad and broken
hearts as well. )"

edited to remove no longer appropriate link.

I was sorta referring to the mealy mouthed punditry masquerading as truth tellers though.

I see it as nothing less...and was wondering why this whole case was tried the way it was..and avoided the call of Treason...there must be a reason...??
wb...

needs more - from possibly a legal standpoint, going after some big fat fish like this, you have to be armed with evidence and more evidence, which can not be refuted. Should one evidence be refuted, he wants to make sure he has 5 others for back-up, or they'll crush you like a fly.

I was told by lawyers that perjury does not get prosecuted, and more so in civil cases - because it is so hard to prove, and then, with little consequences. Considering that - he did an incredible job.

I am fine with that...frustrated - but fine..

Probably treason is even harder?

:bounce:

if they don't pardon Libby he might talk and bring down the Bush presidency. I offer two visualizations. First visualize that Bush doesn't pardon him. Two, visualize that Libby gets a conscience and decides to talk. The way Thom is talking is that the who cabal can be impeached for treason once the Plame affair is aired in a court of law.

We are indeed living in interesting times.

and yeah interesting. . .like the Chinese curse.

Given how long they've dragged out this trial, I'm hoping that something's gonna give long before the wheels of justice turn. I'm hopeful about the Wilson's civil suit but again that's gonna take a long time as well.

Maybe the Congressional investigations will reveal such extreme criminality that there will be a host of resignations, that's my best hope.

People argue about impeachment all the time, I just want this whole crew to be gone ASAP.

If we speak together in one voice demanding immediate resignations, we might make it so.

"We are creating with spirit resignations of all of those in leadership who've abused their positions of power ASAP."

You have to prove someone's lying to dislodge the rest of the lies. It's one thing to know it in your heart, something quite different to prove it in a court of law, and get the convictions that the guilty have coming to them.

If you and me perpetrate some crime, and both of us stick to our alibi stories, and there's no other evidence of our involvement, it's real hard to convict us even if the cops and the DA know in their hearts that we were the wrong 'uns. But if you rat me out (or vice versa), or it can be proved that one of us is lying, our alibi begins to fall apart, and the jail cell beckons.

Fitzpatrick has pried open the door to the prison at last, convicting Libby of his lies. Let's see what can ensue, now that the crime we all know has been committed can finally, legally begin to be attached to definite actors and their actions.

I am trying desperately to overcome the feeling I've had for the past several days, that the Libby conviction is a dead end. Why am I feeling this? I don't know. I don't WANT to feel it. So I'm working on neutralizing the thought.

I REALLY like the vision of Mrs. Pelosi behind the podium with the presidential seal! :) :) :)

Why did she adamantly say impeachment was off the table? And is it possible to get her to change her mind? I surely will try--I like that vision! (One thought--what Matthew said--the Bush Crime Cabal--or is that Cheney Crime Cabal--has incriminating dirt on just about every big player in Washington, and they kind of wave that around and threaten to make it public every time somebody gets "uppity". And if they don't have incriminating dirt, they just threaten the lives of the uppity folks' spouses and children. I wonder...I wonder...perhaps we should neutralize that as well...)

Thanks, as always, Stella! :hi:

it's a dead end but the beginning of a yellow brick road. . .

http://www.opednews.com/articles/opedne_crede_ca_070306_plame_s_brewster_jen.htm

The media and politicians have reeked of coersion for a long time now for sure.

ewww I just gave myself an earworm of "Ewww that smell. . .can't ya smell that smell. . ."

I loathe that song.

Turning the radio on now.

Thanks, as always, stella, for your very special contribution here!

Thanks DMM, I get droves of my earthly data from your intrepid efforts dear. Am eternally in your debt. Then there are the purple reindeer I consort with frequently but never mind about that. :) Don't tell anyone about that. Okay? :)

I must learn to be more gracious really instead of indulging in immediate self mockery.

But really, since this thread is about to expire from the greatest and few are likely to see it, in the wilderness of the plethora of Libby threads, I'll fess up.

Will Pitt offered up that visualization of the SOTU. I thought "woh he's not exclusively linear as I had previously wondered but not really.. . . A magician he can be is he. "

Sorry. . sometimes upon occasion, I channel Yoda. . .what can I say. . .?

The visualization of Madam Pelosi just struck me in a thunderbolt of my land line being down for 5 frigging days due to an electrical arc caused by a broken wire at the end of road that incinerated a telephone pole. Ahhh I do most of my biz on that line. Lost some dough.

"Creatrix" only knows how many calls I missed. Oh well.

Still I don't pretend to know how it will happen. The image was weirdly infused with a national crisis of sorts. But can one truly trust those purple reindeer anyway.

All I know is that I was struck with an image of Pelosi behind the podium sporting the Presidential Seal.

She's a human being. They areso far from qualifying as such. Condoning torture. . .my butt.

It was a really strong image.

Let's make it so and cut through "this second flood of ideas" from those that have become well paid for their multitudinous deceits.

We can do this with our minds, I'm sure.

Thanks again friend.

best as always
