Aesop's Fables-1 - Wikisource:
"The Wolf and the Lamb"
A Wolf, meeting with a Lamb astray from the fold, resolved not to lay
violent hands on him, but to find some plea to justify to the Lamb the
Wolf's right to eat him. He thus addressed him: 'Sirrah, last year you
grossly insulted me.' 'Indeed,' bleated the Lamb in a mournful tone of
voice, 'I was not then born.' Then said the Wolf, 'You feed in my pasture.'
'No, good sir,' replied the Lamb, 'I have not yet tasted grass.' Again said
the Wolf, 'You drink of my well.' 'No,' exclaimed the Lamb, 'I never yet
drank water, for as yet my mother's milk is both food and drink to me.'
Upon which the Wolf seized him and ate him up, saying, 'Well! I won't
remain supperless, even though you refute every one of my imputations.'
The tyrant will always find a pretext for his tyranny. "

Hammer to the Slammer: Curtains for the GOPMOB?
September 30, 2005-Venice, FL. by Daniel Hopsicker
The investigation into the 4-year old murder of Sun Cruz Casino boat founder
Konstantinos ‘Gus’ Boulis in Fort Lauderdale has begun to reveal hidden
connections between Republican lobbyist Jack Abramoff’s gargantuan
fund-raising machine, essential to victory in the past two Presidential elections,
and a cast of underworld characters not previously thought of as exemplifying
what have come to be known as “Republican family values.” The indictment
of three men Tuesday in the Boulis "hit" exposes an unholy alliance in Florida
between the national Republican party and the Mob, details of which were
first reported in the MadCowMorningNews three months ago (“The Secret World
of Jack Abramoff: Terrorists, Torpedoes and Republican ‘Muscle’”). More
indictments are expected soon.The trail of suspicion leads directly to Abramoff’s
doorstep: the three names already released clearly implicate Adam Kidan, the
Casino line’s erstwhile President, in the crime, who wrote checks—duh-uh!—for
over $250,000 to one of the indicted men, Gambino goombah Anthony “Big Tony”'
Moscatiello, 67, of Howard Beach, N.Y, for no easily discernible reason.

Cannonfire
Cannonfire: "In earlier times, Bush -- who, as vice-president, was
heading the war on drugs -- made sure that Aronow got a contract to
supply the customs service with drug interdiction boats. Naturally,
Aronow made sure that the cops received slower boats than those
used by the smugglers.
Thomas Burdick, who wrote a book about the speedboat king, once
spoke to a former convict named Tommy Teagle, who said that Aronow
and Jeb Bush had been partners in cocaine trafficking and were $2.5
million in debt to their Colombian suppliers. Teagle, who claimed to be
fearful that Bush would have him killed, later changed his story.
Question: Is there any way to make this nation's many naive Christophiles --
the ones who jumped every time Ralph Reed snapped his fingers --
understand the truth about the thugs who commanded their loyalites"

"Is it any wonder why this regime is the most secretive administration in the
history of this country? These "Made Men" have taken the art of crime against
American citizens to a level that is normally seen only in dictatorial governments.
They lie so much to us that people seem to not care anymore. I want my America
back. Before these criminals stole their way into office we were far from perfect,
but at least the whole world didn't hate us. You say what about our British allies?
Read the Guardian and see what the Brits really think about us. If not for that lap
dog of a moron Tony Blair, in no way would the Brits have backed us in our illegal
occupation of Iraq. Of course Tony Blair, like his master Coupe Leader Bush,
serves the interest of big business. How in the hell could Blair not do the dirty work
of British Petroleum? That is why Blair drug his country into the farce of a war. The
Bush regime is all about selling energy. Whether it is ripping off California with his
buddy Kenny Lay at Enron, or invading a sovereign country like Iraq with nothing
more than made up lies, Capo Bush the super Don of the Republican Mafia
will make sure that the oil companies get paid first and foremost. How much money
are you spending filling up your tank as of late? I'm sure nobody remembers Capo
Bush telling Americans when he ran for president that he could keep gas prices
down by just talking to his buddies the Saudi's. He talked to his buddies the Saudi's
all right; only it was an act of collusion. Capo Bush tried to get the Saudi's to lower
the oil prices this summer just before the election to make him look good. Is it not
amazing how stories like these, which are so huge in nature, hit the airwaves for a
day and then vanish? I mean it all started with Consigliere Cheney making this
countries energy policy a secret. Why is our countries energy policy a secret? What
would you expect it to be with Ken Lay of Enron fame helping to make policy?"

"Bush's Bagman Busted"
In order to benefit the the rich and big business, especially big oil and big
pharmaceuticals, Bush's Republican mob swindled all poor people and those
of the middle class, the old, the needy, the sick, the "illegal" aliens, the students
and the entire next generation. The wealthy were awarded fortunes gouged from
ordinary people. For every dollar the worker earns today, the boss gets over
$1000 for damn little labor. Regrettable many of the top crooks, bosses of the
Republican mob, including Bush, Cheney and even the crackpot Alaskan senator,
Ted Stevens, escaped justice. If there have ever been wicked politicians who
should be impeached, Bush, Cheney and Stevens are them! We're not talking
about a trivial thing like a blowjob or a sexual dalliance. These are real criminals
responsible for war, lies, killing tens of thousands of people, stealing hundreds of
millions of dollars, corruption on a colossal scale, constitutional violations, pandering
to the Christian crazies in order to abridge others' religious rights and even snooping
into the private affairs of ordinary citizens.The real criminals aren't in prison. The
system is rigged to protect the politicians and the powerful while prosecuting the
poor and the petty criminal.The era of the "good" politician seems to be waning.
There is no longer much "public service." Now it's public exploitation. Where ever
there is corruption, money, guns and harm, there you'll find droves of conservatives
and Republicans.

Conspiracy Planet - 9-11: Conspiracy - 9/11 Conspiracy: Controlled Demolition Dropped WTC
Conspiracy - 9/11 Conspiracy: Controlled Demolition Dropped WTC:
(Oct 21, 2005)In two speeches to overflow crowds in New York last
weekend, noted theologian David Ray Griffin argued that recently
revealed evidence seals the case that the Twin Towers and WTC-7
were destroyed by controlled demolition with explosives. Despite the
many enduring mysteries of the 9/11 attacks, Dr. Griffin concluded,
"It is already possible to know, beyond a reasonable doubt, one very
important thing: the destruction of the World Trade Center was an
inside job, orchestrated by terrorists within our own government."
"'The implications are indeed disturbing. Many people who know or
at least suspect the truth about 9/11 probably believe that revealing it
would be so disturbing to the American psyche, the American form
of government, and global stability that it is better to pretend to believe
the official version. I would suggest, however, that any merit this
argument may have had earlier has been overcome by more recent
events and realizations. Far more devastating to the American psyche,
the American form of government, and the world as a whole will be
the continued rule of those who brought us 9/11, because the values
reflected in that horrendous event have been reflected in the Bush
administration's lies to justify the attack on Iraq, its disregard for
environmental science and the Bill of Rights, its criminal negligence
both before and after Katrina, and now its apparent plan not only to
weaponize space but also to authorize the use of nuclear weapons in
a preemptive strike."

The Ed Schultz Show
The Ed Schultz Show:Broadcasting from the heart of America in Fargo,
The Ed Schultz Show debuted on January 5, 2004, and is now heard on
close to 50 markets across the nation.
(03/22/2006 ) Bush Says U.S. Troops Will Stay in Iraq Past '08:
President Bush acknowledged yesterday that the war in Iraq is dominating
nearly every aspect of his presidency.
Bush said that American forces will remain in Iraq for years and it will be up
to a future president to decide when to bring them all home.Bush said the "trauma"
of war has left the public and even some lawmakers in his own party understandably
shaken and skeptical of his vow that the United States will prevail. Bush said,
"Nobody likes war. It creates a sense of uncertainty in the country."
Bush Rejects Calls to Change: Bush rejected calls to change the U.S. military
strategy or shake up the White House staff. Bush rejected calls for the resignation
of Defense Secretary Donald RumsfeldBush said, "Listen, every war plan looks
good on paper until you meet the enemy." Bush did not rule out bringing aboard
a veteran Washington operative to help soothe relations with an increasingly restive
Republican Congress. Aides said the move may happen soon. Bush said, "I'm not
going to announce it right now." Polls show less than 40 percent of Americans
approve of the Bush presidency. Polls also say a growing number no longer trust him.
Bush Dismisses Republican Criticism: Bush dismissed the rising chorus of
Republican criticism as election-year jitters. Bush said, "There's a certain unease as
you head into an election year."
On Troops Coming Home: Bush said he would call home the 130,000 U.S.
troops in Iraq if he was not confident about his victory plan. Asked if a day will
come when there are no U.S. troops there, Bush said "that will be decided by
future presidents and future governments of Iraq." Bush on Civil War Bush said
he disagrees with former Iraqi prime minister Ayad Allawi, a man who had been
handpicked by his administration, and others who say that the country is already
engaged in a civil war in which dozens of people are killed each day. Bush said,
"The way I look at the situation, the Iraqis took a look and decided not to go to
civil war." Nearly 4 out of 5 people, including 70 percent of Republicans, believe
civil war will break out in Iraq, according to a recent AP-Ipsos poll.
Bush on Censure: Bush dismissed as "needless partisanship" calls by
Sen. Russ Feingold, D-WI, to censure the president for authorizing the secret
National Security Agency spying program, which involves eavesdropping on
U.S. citizens. Telegraphing the GOP's election plan to portray Democrats as weak
on terrorism, Bush dared his opponents to campaign in the 2006 elections on a
platform that includes eliminating the spying program. Bush said, "They ought to take
their message to the people and say, 'Vote for me, I promise we're not going to have
a terrorist surveillance program.'" Bush also taunted Democrats who opposed the
reauthorization of the USA Patriot Act: "If that's what the party believes, they
ought to go around the country saying we shouldn't give the people on the front
line of protecting us the tools necessary to do so." No Democrat has made such a
statement. Bush Speeches on Iraq Continue: Wednesday, Bush continues his tour
of speeches on Iraq in Wheeling, WV. White House officials are hopeful that the
communications offensive by Bush will stop the decline that has sunk his job
approval ratings to the lowest levels of his presidency. Some military analysts said
they were skeptical because Bush has not announced any new policies in his news
conference or in his speeches.
