Ruppert: 2004--The Year of the Law and of Living Dangerously

I think many DUers may find this text worthy of a read:

FTW has stressed that events in the five years following September 11th 2001 would determine the course of human history for the next five hundred years. In looking at the tectonic pressures building during a presidential election year -- as driven by the emerging reality of Peak Oil and Gas (see: http://www.fromthewilderness.com/free/ww3/040403_oil_war_bbc.html AND http://www.fromthewilderness.com/free/ww3/081803_peril_pt1_summary.html AND http://www.fromthewilderness.com/free/ww3/090203_peril_pt2_summary.html AND http://www.fromthewilderness.com/free/ww3/061203_simmons.html for more about PEAK OIL) -- it now appears that, of those five years, 2004 may well be marked by some of the greatest political, economic and military changes in history. Much of this upheaval will have been caused by the success of independent journalists, researchers, activists, courts, and congress in challenging the actions of the US Empire at home and abroad since 9/11 and holding it accountable for its own statements, actions and documents.

This brings to mind the proverb, “Be careful of what you pray for. You just might get it.” This beast is dangerous now and signs are abundant, from the unrealized terror scares over the holidays, to the re-emergence of Mad Cow disease, to a suddenly renewed government interest in anthrax, that nothing is beyond the pale if the beast is threatened.

On December 15, 2003, as reported by the Associated Press, the US Supreme Court announced that it would make a ruling in the case (re Cheney's Energy Task Force) sometime in July 2004, just three months shy of the presidential election. This presents a real problem for the Bush administration. Legally, there is little to sustain its obviously illegal actions. And presenting the American people with another politically-tainted Supreme Court ruling just months before the election could easily rekindle debate over the Court's illegal Bush v. Gore ruling which stopped the Florida recount in 2000.

Aside from reminding the Court through widespread publication of stories about the pending decision there is little the American people can do to influence the outcome. However, the Court is already feeling enough pressure as a multitude of Bush administration extralegal positions come under increasing fire and close public scrutiny. In order for the machine to continue to function it must protect the value of the American brand name as reflected by its ability to convince large portions of the populace that the system still works. While the American people may not fully understand the implications of a Supreme Court ruling favoring the Bush administration in this case, the lawyers who make the system work and journalists who report on it most certainly will.

This is the ultimate high-stakes, must-win decision for the administration in the coming year. Full disclosure of Cheney's records would enable publications like FTW to once and for all answer for the American people and the world the single biggest question about 9/11, “What would motivate them to do such a horrible thing? What could have been so important?” In a criminal trial for murder this would be one of the three basic elements required for a conviction: the motive. The method and opportunity have already been established./snip/

1. Cheney is a Thug

The man is as thoroughly rotten as the heart that amazingly still beats within his chest. He richly deserves the full exposure of his crimes, and whatever consequences that follow.

I fear, however, that he is but the tip of the iceberg. He certainly didn't get into power without help, and this dark era will not end for his fall alone.
