"As democracy is perfected, the office of  president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."
- H.L. Mencken

"A little patience, and we shall see the reign of witches pass over, their spells dissolve, and the people, recovering their true sight, restore their government to it's true principles. It is true that in the mean time we are suffering deeply in spirit, and incurring the horrors of a war & long oppressions of enormous public debt. ... If the game runs sometimes against us at home we must have patience till luck turns, & then we shall have an opportunity of winning back the principles we have lost, for this is a game where principles are the stake. Better luck, therefore, to us all; and health, happiness, & friendly salutations to yourself."
-T. Jefferson

The Voice of the White House

In recent past issues, we have carried comments from a very well-informed source inside the White House. Some of these remarks, most especially one about Bush’s physical and mental problems, drew an enormous number of viewers and hundreds of inquiries, most especially from foreign press entities. Our source was the first to expose, and we were the first to make public, the accusations that the President of the United States was a man that suffered from serious psychological problems. He also revealed ongoing plans to attack Iran.  Since our initial publication of his postings, there has been increasing interest in the subject and herewith, we present additional input from inside the White House. If you have a weak stomach, do not read the following material. Not being able to either confirm of deny any of this information, we present it without comment or endorsement.

November 20, 2004: “ It is pretty evident from where I sit that war against Iran is a dead certainty but no one here knows the mechanics of the attack. The actual military planning I know has been completed with several scenarios in place to choose from. I do know about the press agitation for this war. It is now working full blast.

Very cooperative networks, coordinating with the White House staff, are even now giving fake news stories about the danger Iran poses to America. They are so blind that they are using the same identical methods that were used to sandbag us into the Iraqi war.

Rove knows everything about manipulating public opinion but nothing at all about the deadly consequences of launching a new war in the Middle East.

There are some drawbacks to the planning, that much I do know. We do not know exactly where the Iranian atomic production plants are located. CIA informants inside Iran have supplied us with some information but considering how much they are paid (plenty) and how untrustworthy these informers have been in the past, it would not surprise many of us if they were feeding us bovine fecal matter by the shovel full.

However, it is this kind of useless crap that the President wants to hear and so it will be accepted. All of this is why Powell is quitting and Rice has been chosen to replace him. Why? She is an outrageous  suck-ass for sure but consider this: Condi’s special field was Soviet Russia. She hates the Russians with a passion and is lusting for an opportunity to go after Putin and his people.

This is complete suicide because Russia has many deadly missiles and plenty of atomic weaponry. Will they use it if attacked? Of course they will but Bush is told that the Russian army is a shambles, their Navy rusting in the harbors and their aircraft grounded for lack of spare parts. There is some truth concerning the naval units but not the rest of it. Yes, the Russian army is much smaller than it was but if Fat Karl and his nutty friends bothered to read history, they would learn that when attacked, the Russians will fight to the death defending their soil.

If we think we are having “little problems” now dealing with an increasingly enraged 25,000,000 Iraqis wait until we discover, too late, that  there are 70,000,000 Iranians and many more millions of Russians.

Bush is as crazy as a loon. I have heard him say, very coldly, that God got him reelected and that both God and the entire nation are now behind him. He believes he has a devastating mandate to rule but he does not. No one here would dare to even hint at this to him or they would get a dose of really foul language and a pink slip on the moment. Vengeance is mine, sayeth the Prez.

Bush probably got enough votes, but barely, and he certainly does not have any kind of a mandate. Nixon was an intelligent man (I worked for him) but during his second term, he let the power go to his head and this is exactly what Bush has fallen into.

Never believe your own lies.

Bush and Wolfowitz plus Rove and Rice see a powerful American empire that will rule the world through force, not diplomacy. Bush devoutly believes this crap and so do his people but the military and senior DoS people are not quite as confident. In fact, there is a very growing concern both in the Pentagon and Foggy Bottom that the fanatical and dim-witted Bush will take the lid off of hell and we will all be incinerated.

I have said it before and I will say it now:

There will be a universal draft.

There will be another major war in Iran with serious military threats directed towards both Russia and North Korea.

Bush and his people will clamp down completely on any form of dissent inside the United States to include shutting off any American access to the Internet that they all view with loathing and fear.

Bush has closed off any escape, either by potential draftees, deserters (whose numbers are now growing out of all proportions, or potential anti-Bush people whom they feel might set up resistance movements elsewhere) to Canada and will make it impossible for anyone of draft age (18-35), or dissenters, to even leave the country in the future. Very soon now, anyone subject to the draft may not leave the country on the grounds that they might not come back. I am telling you, my friends, there is very stormy weather ahead for all of us. Next? Nuremberg-style Bush rallies held throughout the country and lost of pretty pictures of our new ‘God-mandated’-Fuehrer for church, school and public office walls. (Probably mass-produced in China!)”

November 21, 2004: “There is a great misconception in America these days, deliberately fostered and heavily publicized, that the only reason the United States is really in Iraq is to secure the huge Iraqi oilfield for their own use.

Yes, there is some pragmatic truth to this but the underlying force behind our totally disastrous new Vietnam in Iraq is not the desperate American need for oil.

We get more than enough oil from Mexico, Venezuela, Canada  and Nigeria with Saudi oil down the list. We also get oil from Indonesia as well so stories about Saudi Arabia being threatened by Iran and Iraq are pure nonsense and the Bush people well know it.

The sole reason why American troops are now being killed in Iran is not the need for oil but only because of the Administration’s blind and total subservience to the State of Israel and its ultra militaristic and fascistic Likud government, personified by the savage Sharon..

Iraq had attacked Israel during the Gulf War and Tel Aviv never forgot that. They wanted Hussein out and this is how they got it without losing a single Israeli soldier.

The so-called neocons are almost entirely Jewish in composition (many are Israeli citizens and have worked for Israeli intelligence in the past…and certainly now) and very, very pro Israel. In fact, they openly put Israel’s needs before those of the United States. In effect, the neocons totally control US foreign policy, at least insofar as the Middle East is concerned.

It was they who formed an unholy alliance with Karl Rove and persuaded Bush to attack Iraq. Many other reasons are given for this attack but the basic fact remains that the only really strong motivation for Bush to attack Saddam, to our great, and continuing, loss, was because Israel wanted it.

Like the news media, many Israeli Mossad agents were openly “embedded” with CIA and MI units and wreaked havoc on captured Iraqi prisoners. Much of the deliberate torture and murder of unarmed civilians was directly caused by these agents. And naturally, the US gets all the blame while the Mossad people have all the fun.

The CIA and the Pentagon are clearly aware of this but are afraid to say anything about it. Why? Because the so-called Israeli Lobby is immensely powerful in Washington. They have huge sums of money with which to bribe politicians and coupled with this is the threat of having their newspapers and television networks (which represent most of the American media today) attack any legislator who dares to question the primacy of Israeli needs.

The State Department’s main goal in the Middle East is to force the Arab countries to not only accept the presence of Israel but to cease and desist attacking her. No one here bothers to study history because they are too busy building their power bases and too frightened of the Israeli Lobby to dare to stray from the official party line. That’s the Likud Party, not the Republican.  The Arabs are at war with Israel solely because Israel stole their land and slaughtered as many of the Arab inhabitants of Jerusalem that they could not drive into the wilderness of refugee camps. We in America have no business being involved in sacrificing American troops and spending huge sums of American taxpayer’s funds in support of a country that is not our friend.

They spy on us regularly, steal our military and business secrets, attack our ships, infiltrate our law enforcement agencies so as to direct them against any person or group that dares to speak as I am speaking and now very clearly dictate our foreign policy.

The Jews detest Christians whom they feel, with some justice, have persecuted them over the last 2,000 years but they have gleefully formed an unholy alliance with the dimwitted American Pentecostals.

The latter somehow see Israel as the Great Promised Land, the father of all the Christian religions and who must be protected by all means. A grotesque combination of rabid Pentecostals, moronic trailer park residents and imperialistic ultra right wing Republicans have gotten together to support a George Bush-type because they have complete control over his actions and through his utter dependence on them, to basically rule the United States for their own religious and political benefit.

That this support of Israel is leading the people of the United States into a complete political, military and economic disaster is of no concern to them. What is of concern to them is that Jewish money and media support continue to keep them in office on one level and on another, that the union of the moronic, the religious fanatics, the Lukudists and the Imperial America supporters maintain and continue this control into the foreseeable future.

Our Presidential and foreign policies should, by all rights, be dictated by the needs of the American people, not a handful of religious nuts and rabid Lukudists.

These self-centered and vicious creatures do not like anyone to hear the advice of our first President, George Washington. He warned repeatedly that America should take no sides in any foreign quarrel and should sell equally to both sides. No entangling alliances was the theme of this but three times in the 20^th century and once in the 21st. our ruling politicians have embroiled American in someone else’s wars.

The First and Second world wars were fought to help an England that had a strong social and economic hold on American financial institutions, Vietnam was fought by the Eisenhower administration to assist the French hold on to the natural resources of their former colony and now, in the 21^st century, we are once more engaged in a protracted and endless guerrilla war that has already put intolerable strains on our economics and the very social fabric of the American people as well.

The Israeli/Republican juggernaut has totally alienated the United States from the rest of the world and has caused many otherwise friendly countries to, in fact, abandon us. The dollar is collapsing worldwide, we did not get any Iraqi oil to at least justify our eternal warfare, our young men are dying every day and considering the terrible wounds many of the others have suffered by exploding booby traps, they are the lucky ones.

We desperately need to revert to the ideals of George Washington, maintain a strict neutrality everywhere, and especially in the powder magazine of the Middle East and remove the vicious and manipulative clique that is now running the United States…straight into the swamps.”

Powell 'pushed out' by Bush for seeking to rein in Israel

Colin Powell, the outgoing US secretary of state, was given his marching orders after telling President George W Bush that he wanted greater power to confront Israel over the stalled Middle East peace process.

Although Mr Powell's departure was announced on November 15, his letter of resignation was dated November 11, the day he had a meeting with Mr Bush.

According to White House officials, at the meeting Mr Powell was not asked to stay on and gave no hints that he would do so. Briefing reporters later, he referred to "fulsome discussions" - diplomatic code for disagreements.

"The clincher came over the Mid-East peace process," said a recently-retired state department official.

"Powell thought he could use the credit he had banked as the president's 'good cop' in foreign policy to rein in Ariel Sharon [Israel's prime minister] and get the peace process going. He was wrong."

Bob Woodward, the veteran Washington reporter who was granted unprecedented access to the first Bush administration for his books Bush At War and Plan Of Attack, said last week that Mr Powell had been "dreaming" if he thought that he could stay on.

Vice-president Dick Cheney and his fellow hardliner, John Bolton, an under-secretary of state to Mr Powell, are both understood to have lobbied Mr Bush to replace him.

They wanted to make Iran's alleged nuclear bomb aspirations and support for Islamic terror groups the foreign policy priority for the new administration and believed that Mr Powell would back away from a confrontational approach.

The two are frustrated that Britain, France and Germany are still seeking a diplomatic deal with Teheran rather than backing an immediate UN Security Council resolution condemning Iran and threatening sanctions.

Mr Powell's final pitch to remain in office for at least another year was made during Tony Blair's visit to Washington nine days ago, The Telegraph has learned. Earlier indications had been that he intended to step down after enduring four years of clashes with the office of Mr Cheney and the Pentagon under Donald Rumsfeld.

Friends of Mr Powell later briefed journalists that he had changed his mind because he saw the chance of progress on the peace process and wanted to see through the Iraqi elections.

Mr Powell is to be replaced by Condoleezza Rice, the national security adviser and close confidante of Mr Bush.

Mr Bolton's predicted promotion as her deputy is a further signal that the president wants to conduct foreign policy without the "moderating" influence and popular public face of Mr Powell.

Prominent neo-conservatives in Washington make no secret of their desire for regime change in Teheran, although few believe that a full-scale military operation is a viable strategy.

Instead, the emphasis is on establishing economic sanctions as a means to squeeze the ruling mullahs. There is also the option that the US may tacitly back Israeli air strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.

The overhaul of the CIA under its new director, Porter Goss, a recent Bush appointee, is also intended to remove critics of America's foreign policy.
