And all the sons of Congressmen! And the two adorable 100 Proof Bush daughters! (Ginna and Tonic)

"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

“That we are to stand by the president, right or wrong is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
-Theodore Roosevelt

"Actions are held to be good or bad, not on their own merits, but according to who does them.  There is almost no kind of outrage - - - -torture, imprisonment without trial, assassination, the bombing of civilians - - - - which does not change its moral color when it is committed by our side.  The nationalist not only does not disapprove of atrocities committed by his own side, he has remarkable capacity for not even hearing about them."
-George Orwell

America’s Enemies!

There are three entities who represent the most dangerous enemies to American liberties since George III.

They are:

1.             The Neocons or Likudists who owe their personal allegiance to another country and now completely control our foreign policy. They lied and deceived us into the Iraq war and are demanding that more and more American soldiers die to preserve their own country and ideals.

2.              The Christian Evangelical right who is trying to force the United States into becoming a theocracy under their rule. They know in their hearts that they alone can restructure a secular humanist America into their idea of Heaven on Earth.

3.              George W. Bush who is the worst president in the history of the United States and who is directly responsible for the huge death tolls in Iraq, is determined to rule the United States until God puts a stop to him and is even more determined to force the American people into becoming obedient, Christian and self-sacrificing lemmings.

Note: Very little of the information in this edition of TBR news has come from the mainline American media. It is just not there. Most of it has come from foreign sources and the Internet. Most of our sources can be seen on the main page.

Editor’s Note: Having recently heard from a retired military officer, claiming connections to the DoD, to the effect that TBR News was “giving aid and comfort to the enemy” and urging in strident and badly-written prose that such matters as the casualty questioning  must be immediately ceased, we are pleased to announce that the Harring Reports will continue as before. We are also adding a section on the Depleted Uranium issue that should give our correspondent a guaranteed case of spastic colon.

The Voice of the White House

July 18, 2005: “Here I am, sticking a sharp pencil into the ear of our God-Given Protectors! I am referring to the little bit I sent out on the computer hacking in your last issue. Roars of fury from various sources, some of which penetrated into the Fag Palace here and which I have gleefully been listening to. Well, there will be official silence, for the time being, on this but I stumbled onto an interesting study, which I will have sent on to selected members of Congress and the sterling mainline media of the United States.  In short, what I said last time about interdiction, invasion and clandestine looting of the websites of foreign governments and banks has been going on for some time. There is an ongoing struggle, at very high levels, between the newly cleansed DHS [National Cyber Security Division (NCSD)] and the ultra secret NSA over such break-ins. The DHS sub agency responsible for this is called the IIA or the Internal Intelligence Agency and is credited with completely illegal invasions of not only private computers in America but also very high level diplomatic systems located at the various embassies inside the Beltway…those people out on Massachusetts Avenue’s embassy row get all kinds of kind attentions from “telephone” repairmen and other pleasant types but most of the dirty work is done all the way across the continent.  Targeted inside the United States are anti-Bush websites and the personal emails of those running them, businesses that are not friendly to the President, financial institutions that might be involved with financing individuals or projects looked upon with disfavor by the Bush/Rove gang and anyone disliked by senior members of DHS to include relatives, personal enemies, ex-wives and so on. There is absolutely no oversight to this crew whatsoever and they have even been known to look into senior officers at the Pentagon that do not 100% support Our Sacred President’s Dreams of Empire. It is rumored, from otherwise reliable sources inside the Beltway, that these snoops have even gotten into the computer systems of Guckert/Gannon types to see if there might be future trouble for the Head Chimpanzee. In the course of their poking, they apparently came across Certain Very Sensitive Names and by all accounts, are planning to use this to increase both their power and budget. Exactly what the late Colonel John Edgar Hoover used to do."
