epiphany of bush

i think the whole crew is in the mindset of karmically reenacting the battle of tours.  this is when the Muslim invaders that were marching through french city of tours were met with an army that defeat them and allowed the continued existence of western civilization.  wikipedea...

NYT: NSA Spying Broader Than Bush Admitted

link

quoth the holy shogunx, "na na na, na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye."

if you think the bush regime would use the information gleaned from this massive spying operation to plan their 04 election strategy i say that would seem true to part.

whither america

in light of the domestic spying program, i want to recap on a couple of laws to american citizens:

U.S. Constitution, Amendment IV - Search and seizure. Ratified 12/15/1791.

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act

§ 1802. Electronic surveillance authorization without court order; certification by Attorney General; reports to Congressional committees; transmittal under seal; duties and compensation of communication common carrier; applications; jurisdiction of court

(A) the electronic surveillance is solely directed at—

(i) the acquisition of the contents of communications transmitted by means of communications used exclusively between or among foreign powers, as defined in section 1801 (a)(1), (2), or (3) of this title; or

(ii) the acquisition of technical intelligence, other than the spoken communications of individuals, from property or premises under the open and exclusive control of a foreign power, as defined in section 1801 (a)(1), (2), or (3) of this title;

(B) there is no substantial likelihood that the surveillance will acquire the contents of any communication to which a United States person is a party; and

U.S. Constitution, Article II. - The Executive Branch, Section 4 - Disqualification

The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.

i am not a lawyer, but this sounds to me, quid pro quo, the annulment of every constituional law americans think they are protected by.  let me quote further:

“I don’t give a goddamn,” Bush retorted. “I’m the President and the Commander-in-Chief. Do it my way.”

“Mr. President,” one aide in the meeting said. “There is a valid case that the provisions in this law undermine the Constitution.”

“Stop throwing the Constitution in my face,” Bush screamed back. “It’s just a goddamned piece of paper!”

if this is not wake time, it never will be, FELLOW AMERICANS.

beginning of the end of the bush dynasty

george bush, you are on the road to congressional indictments of illegal authorizations of spying on americans, and i want to be the first to wish you to a long merry trip to hell.  pending indictment link

UPDATE: 12/18: "This is a war where intelligence is the long pole in the tent," Rice said on "Meet the Press" on NBC. 

The only erect pole is in her pants to engage in unconstitutional activity.
