last night I was part of an audience that listened to Robert Kennedy Jr. speak of unspeakable crimes being perpetrated by Bush and his cyclical placement of lap-dog polluters into every strategic position within his administration. The EPA appointees were particularly appalling because this post is being run (ruined) by hand picked lobbyist who are tied to the country's worst of the worst polluters. He spoke for two hours w/o notes on a range of topics that involved all levels of Bush's corrupt administration, including the ineffectiveness of the press and the one-sided information placed into the airwaves by the Murdochs of the world. It was a sobering assessment.

His take on Gonzalez is that he was ordered by Bush to place attorneys into positions to stifle minority voting. Play ball or be launched. That only eight or so were fired leaving 89 or so still belting out the party line in sufficient quantities to keep their jobs is a very, very scary insight.

He also called for Gonzales to be impeached, along with the rest of this corrupt administration for creating situations where people are tortured, the de-nutting of habius corpus, loss of civil liberties, wire apping, lying us into a war, and the savage attempt to kill us by placating polluters via rolling back strict environmental laws was astonishing. He made particular note that it was Fredo who wrote the torture law for our A.W.O.L. fly boy fearless leader.

I came away from the lecture elated that people as intelligent as Kennedy are out there fighting for us but also depressed that those in power are purposely killing us by killing our our natural resources for money. People can not eat the fish (due to elevated mercury levels) in 49 of our states. The 50th state, Wyoming hasn't done the research because their Stete legislature refuses to fund the testing. This is all very nauseating.

I'd vote for Kennedy for president in a heartbeat. Unfortunately, that is what he would probably lose via assination if he gave it a try. He is a very dangerous man to these nihilistic neocon liars.

Stevio's post passively illustrates the difference in families . The values of self promotion and the value of social responsibility . The task facing the bush family would seem to be which crime to devote their Seppuku . I am offering free counseling to support their decision to rid the earth its most deliberate excrescence . Good luck storming the gates of heck !

Oh and thanks for the post about something of Value !

The further heartbreak of what has been done at the EPA (and other agencies) is that the politicization has driven so many scientists, lawyers and experienced technocrats to throw up their hands in frustration and quit to return to private practice. The knowledge base of these institutions has been eroded such that even if we threw the bums out today and rooted out all the worms and moles and termites who've been foisted on agencies like Justice and the EPA, it could still take years and years before they regain their pre-Bush focus and effectiveness.

Great post! Reminds me how mad as hell I'm getting. Bill Moyers had a good program last night on the lies that led us into war and the gutless media that repeated them. What gets me is the balls these people have, aren't they listening? The Bush stocked Justice department is now trying to keep lawyers out of Gitmo! Jeez, you'd think they'd be keeping their heads down!

We must keep storming the gates!
