Who's watching the store while DU and the nation obsesses about their fav candidate in Primaries?

I've been wondering what Bush/Cheney have been up to lately, as I haven't seen much online about what dastardly schemes they've
been cooking up,

So I can't help myself from noticing these recent developments (dots inviting connection?):










All this suggests to me that a perfect storm is brewing, where the Bush Crime Syndicate's cover is getting totally blown and their
options are rapidly narrowing unless they can continue their insane policies through another Clinton DINO who asks no tough questions,
sweeps Bush2's crimes under the rug and just quietly cleans up the Rethug's messes so the neocons can come back in again through
the back door next time around. The Neocons may still have their Hillary card in play, but it's increasingly looking like she is
quickly unraveling in the face of focal "change" candidates Edwards and Obama. If this trend continues, when she's obviously not
going to be the Dem nominee-of-Neocon-choice, then look out.

The Bush Crime Family neocon options would then be down to a very short list:
1) Start more ME wars, by quietly invading Pakistan and attacking Iran. A US attack on Iran will likely be engineered by getting
Israel to launch a first strike against Iran, insuring retaliation, insuring US "need to intervene on Israel's behalf" because they
"have been attacked" by that evil Iran (nevermind that they struck first) ... and attempt to use his "war powers" to reinstate the
draft, maybe declare martial law as their would likely be massive dissent, etc. This is what Sy Hersh, Bruce Fein, and others
who should know, have been predicting for some time now.

and/or this:

2) Allow another 911-like "attack" to occur, ginned up to blame Iran.. same results and .

Call me paranoid, but IMHO the US Shadow Government Bush Crime Syndicate is unlikely to just sit back and be exposed as the
treasonous and habitually criminal traitors they are. When this crowd is about to be cornered, exposed and prosecuted for their
crimes, then that tells me that any crazy fucking thing could be about to happen. So if Clinton keeps up her losing trend, best
fasten your seatbelts.

I was thinking the same thing.

We keep pouring our tax money into the middle eastern black hole when there are cars that cost $7,000 that run on compressed air..

it's a crime that our national focus is on a few ME TOO republicans running as democrats when the real leader to make change doesn't seem to exist.

Why can't george galloway run for president?

I'm leaning heavily towards Edwards as second choice tho I have concerns there, just less than with Hillary and Obama.

was on Kucinich campaign in my state, but when he backed obama without consulting the gay community it was like this huge slap in teh face.

As much as Edwards seems even more antigay, at least he does not promote Homophobes on stage who advocate sending gays to 'change your gay preference' camps...

you might as well put a nazi on stage outlining the latest technology in concentration camps , that's how it feels to have McClurkin asshole on stage with Obama..

history will show Barack screwed up there big time!

relatively unnoticed: I received it in an email.

U.S. in defiance of Congress, lawmaker says

WASHINGTON — The Bush administration is allowing Mexican trucks to continue to travel deep into the United States despite what critics say is a congressional mandate to ban the trucks from U.S. highways.

Congress voted last year to halt funding for a pilot program that allows Mexican 18-wheelers to begin traveling freely into United States as part of the 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement. The Department of Transportation contends, however, that the congressional action permits the current program to continue while banning any new program.

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, the DOT agency that regulates the program, quietly acknowledged last week that the program is still under way, adding that it's issued permits to 11 Mexican companies with a total of 56 trucks. Mexican trucks previously were confined to a 25-mile border zone.

Sen. Byron Dorgan, D-N.D., in a letter Thursday to Transportation Secretary Mary Peters, scoffed at that interpretation and called on the Bush administration to end the program immediately.

kinda fits ... heaping crimes upon crimes ad nauseum ... which supports my suspicions that BushCo has "other plans" than a continuing US democracy... how could he not?

primary races distracting
the masses. There is no need
now for infotainment distractions.

in the headlines in a 24/7 horse-race about "likability" and "diamond or pearls" provide the "cover" Bush so desperately needs right now?

I'm having fun watching the games over our candidates, knowing full well that even if they manage not to get flushed due to election fraud that they are unlikely to ever set foot in the WH due to some "national emergency."

Bush's finally have their dynasty. So much for the polite fiction of democracy.

I keep asking people why they are betting our future on an election that might not even happen; after all, have they ever given themselves powers that they don't intend to use? And even if we do have an election, we've already seen that the election system and the voting machines are flawed and/or corrupted. I know a bunch of people who have the same fears we do and a lot more who think that we are "crazy conspiracy theorists."

I'm hoping I'm crazy, but I really don't think so.

I hope I'm wrong too, but too much of what has happened in the last few years was "unthinkable"- especially the torture. I never thought the general populace would put up with that, but apparently it's just not that big a deal.

I certainly hope my analysis is total bullshit... kind of a funny feeling.. I hope I'm wrong and Bush will just quietly slink off in the night with the rest of his criminal buddies to Paraguay of wherever, never to be heard from again. But somehow that seems to out-of-character that I've ruled it out. Guess we'll see.

and yes, I'd rather they all move to Paraguay. I'd lobby the new pres. to nuke that stupid ranch down there before we re-entered our treaties with Putin. I'd submit it as "pest control."

We should all take a rest from primary fever.

Thanks for laying out so many things to consider.

Each of them worthy of our time.

Dole and Burr -- and knowing it won't do a damn bit of good. :grr:

it worked in the Ukraine and in Venezuela.

and I am SO ready!!

...is "What did Obama *really* mean when he told Hillary she's likable enough?"

You're not paranoid!

Much as I'm heartbroken they're out of the race, Biden and Dodd are back on the job full-time now. You know, doing that boring Senate stuff. I know Biden is working on Bush's sales of aircraft to Pakistan and other issues. Saw an article somewhere a couple of days ago about all the 2 of them are planning to work on now.

Something Naomi Klein wrote in Shock Doctrine has me wondering about a different possibility. She suggested the New Deal was inspired/tolerated because robber barons were deathly afraid of a turn towards Communism in the USA.

I lack faith in the patriotism of Intelligence players. Their track records are dismal at best and with outsourcing they are no longer worthy of the name Intelligence. However, the wellspring of war crime Republican scandals, vice Republican scandals (including a recent bathroom scene right out of Stone's JFK), fiscal Republican scandals, and so on continues to pour into the National debate. Certainly long overdue but what if it is push back from splinter groups? The Republican party is being ripped apart by factional wars, perhaps their bar fights are spilling into the streets?
