Forget high crimes, felony, even treason... we are in a whole new category of criminality ...
by Larisa Alexandrovna


The Bush-Cheney gang has committed many a crime. Of this there is no doubt and no question. In some cases, their crimes have been seen by many as nothing short of treason. Making money off a fabricated war in which Americans have been killed, for example, would qualify. Outing a CIA officer, in yet another example, would qualify. There are many crimes, much evidence, and little justice, of this we are all aware. The word treason certainly applies to some of these crimes.

But what word can be used to describe a crime in which the entire planet is put at risk, the entire human race is endangered? What do you call a group of people who are so corrupt that they are willing to risk the entire planet and everything on it for short-term profit? Read the below and tell me what to call this level of criminality:



So, instead of using the last 8 years to try to find a way to address this crisis and, if necessary, make emergency plans for the people they took an oath to protect, the Bush administration not only wasted our resources on a fabricated war, but hid the evidence that the planet is in a serious crisis. Moreover, Cheney and his secret energy meetings were focused on Iraq, not on saving Americans from a disaster of horrific magnitude. There is more:



Plenty of money for faith-based hocus pocus initiatives, but no money to literally save the world? Nice. But it is not just Bush-Cheney and their cabal who are a threat to the world. It is also the energy executives, their lobbyists, and the politicians they own who have been destroying this nation and the world for years. This is beyond treason. There is no word I can think of that would adequately convey the nature of this crime.

What I find incredibly interesting is the nature of extreme greed. While it is unlikely that a massive climate disaster will occur during the life-time of these criminals, their children and grandchildren will not be so lucky. Bush, Cheney, and most of their gang will likely be gone before the planet becomes a wasteland. But what of Jenna, Barbara, Lizzie, etc.? What about Lizzie's little kids? Is grandpa Cheney so greedy that he is willing to leave them to this fate? Apparently.

The Saved are going to Heaven and why should they care about the Damned?

To them we are just a bunch of Satan worshiping homersexeruals anyway.

I don't even watch the Simpsons, much less wanna have sex with Homer!

I do like Ancient Greek lit, but that's not sexual either.

:toast:

IOW, they think they will be able to hoard enough resources and be able to hide out in their fortified compounds and be safe, while the rest of humanity dies off.

and I've seen little to show they're wrong.

probably bought real estate interests adjacent to low lying highly populated areas world wide.

They think of self interest FIRST and friends 2nd....the last is US DUDES on the bottom...

This is the REAL IMMORALITY that strawman issues like gay marriage, abortion, and other supposedly "immoral" things are meant to distract from.

Also, epidemic and abject POVERTY in this country - that's another MORAL ISSUE (a REAL one) that the strawman arguments about gay marriage, abortion, etc. are meant to distract from - that way, NO ONE does anything about climate change, poverty, or any of the other REAL moral issues facing the US and the World today. The corprats/gov't distract from them, instead fingering other more "shiny" "moral" issues that will divert the attention of the masses from wanting or expecting anything done about REAL ones.

They destroy or hide the facts, never mention them, tell us to "go shopping" like good little consumers and keep watching teevee - to keep ourselves anesthetized in propaganda so we never see the REAL MORAL ISSUES of our time coming straight at us like freight trains - and when they hit - it'll be too late.

It's what they do. It's a crime against ALL OF HUMANITY. It's a crime of IMMORALITY.

Here on Planet Earth we call them PSYCHOTIC.

they think we are insane for 'believing' in global warming.

Oh, we do have one that establishes justice first.

Well.

If only we had a constitution that we'd follow.

from the article~

The pictures, kept secret by Washington during the presidency of George W Bush, were declassified by the White House last week. President Barack Obama is currently trying to galvanise Congress and the American public to take action to halt catastrophic climate change caused by rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere."

The Bush admin did not follow the Constitution, so calling the Constitution a contributor to our upcoming ecological problems is ludicrous.

Had Bush followed it, providing for the common defense involves a defense against nature as well. Instead they opted to only work on the defense portion that makes war money for profiteers.

It's ourselves. Anyone here who thinks they aren't somehow complicit in all this, needs to take a good hard look at themselves. Nobody is innocent.

that this action was decided upon during the secret energy meetings.

Capitalism is suicidal -- and they're taking us all over the cliff with them!

what caused the problem?

I can't even fathom this level of greed & lust for power. It's completely beyond me.

Although it's "human nature" (as usual), (almost) always has been "human nature" (since the beginning of known history), it's now time (long overdue) for the current generations to make sure it won't "always will be" human nature (a collective suicidal behavior led by the few criminal robber barons for egoistic motives).

Gotta start by transparency in all electoral campaigns' funding... everywhere (not only here).

"...now I am become Death , the destroyer of worlds..."

that they think humans can solve any problem with a new, improved machine or product.

Rest assured that the barons of industry look at this as just another opportunity for expanding their contracts via emergency housing for those who are forced to move inland, demolishing the cities that are crumbling due to rising seas and building new ones to replace them, relocating industrial facilities to regions that are not immediately adversely affected.

Plus, think of all the cheap labor when hundreds of millions of people are forced to flee their homes and look elsewhere for sustanance and employment.

And then there are the BILLIONS to be made arming and equipping the police and troops to stop the rampaging hordes who have lost all hope and all options for survival.

I have a feeling that some of the fat cats will be living pretty high on the hog right up to the bitter end.

no responsibility

no consequences

crime pays, i reckon

This administration's resolute refusal to prosecute blatant criminality was and is my breaking point. This is a betrayal of the nation and the people.

No money, no support, no vote until this is reversed. It looks like I'll only be voting in local elections from now on.
:kick: & R

How the fuck do we fix this? How do we fix Washington? How do we fix the people who *still* believe that their individual choices don't matter, that voting doesn't matter, that global warming is a myth, and that even if it isn't, they won't be around to bear the consequences of our actions?!

:banghead:

face certain annihilation tomorrow, we would die as surely as I'm sitting here.

That doesn't mean we shouldn't try.

And if you have kids (I don't), I don't see how you cannot be blowing shit up at this point. Your children are going to suffer, and how.

We're so enamored of our "freedom" that we will walk lockstep right of the cliff.

:(

Or does the U.S. just let all criminals go? I'm extremely confused by the supposed outrage over these crimes while at the same time, people still insist that jailing the repub criminals for life is a waste of time.

If the repubs committed world-wide genocide, which they have, it will never be forgotten so how can anyone insist that it is forgotten?

Bet they did. Bet it was published, somewhere. Thanks US-MSM.

What amount of power and money can possibly justify destroying the planet you live on? Sounds like insanity to me.

Oh, wait,.....that's only for those people on the street, reacting to the stresses in their lives.

We need a whole new definition of "crazy"..... this needs to be in the DSM!!!!!

Those ridiculous arch villains with the sinister laugh. Hell, Lex Luthor looks sane in comparison to this gang of nut jobs.

Citing the U.S.'s so called "evidence" that allegedly proved Saddam had was seeking or making WMDs or already had WMDs. This so called evidence also was alleged to prove a link between Saddam and Bin Laden and Al Qaeda. And that Saddam was linked to 9-11.

Bushco used agents from within the CIA to fabricate one gigantic fucking whopper of a story and call it "evidence".When he ordered the CIA to engage in such activity, he committed a high crime.

Bushco committed war crimes the moment we invaded Iraq. Moving into a whole new class of crimes and putting their criminality on the INT'L stage. They violated the laws of the Geneva convention.

We are bound through treaty to those laws.

Bush, Cheney, Rice, Rove, Rummy, Wolfawitz(sp), Gonzalez, and many others should be behind bars until the day they die in prison.

there are many who need to be held accountable.

law a resolution in a court of this great land. But atlas, I believe they have distracted us with this chaos and written cleverly hidden signing statements that prevent us from our legal rights.

They enjoy every minuite of it. They don't care what happens to the Earth. They think they are safe.

I have no words for what has been done...and what HASN'T!!


K&R :mad:

is grooming some dimwited, mentally lazy, sock puppet with the IQ of a fencepost (or less) to take up right where they left off because there is no one with the nads to indict and imprison these felons who think treason is helping poor people.

So much that we 'wingnuts' left and right suspected was really going on. And lots of folks knew about it.
