Conspired to defraud the United States

The Snohomish County (WA) Democratic Party votes to impeach AWOL
Bush, Cheney and cabinet officials on 18 February 2006.
--------------

The President's, Vice President's, and administration official's
deceit is not only an abuse of power; it is a federal crime. The
following evidence shows, that from early 2002 to at least March
2003, the President, the VP, and their aides conspired to defraud
the United States by intentionally misrepresenting intelligence
about the governments of Afghanistan and Iraq to persuade Congress
to authorize military force, thereby interfering with Congress's
lawful function of overseeing foreign affairs and making
appropriations, all of which violates Title 18, United States Code ,
Section 371.

Fraud (to defraud): is broadly defined to include half-truths,
omissions or misrepresentation; in other words, statements that are
intentionally misleading, even if literally true. Fraud also
includes making statements with "reckless indifference to their
truth".

Conspiracy: when two or more persons follow a course of action "to
interfere with, impede or obstruct a lawful government function by
deceit, craft, or trickery, or at least by means that are dishonest."

The U.S. Constitution, Article VI, Paragraph 2 provides, This
Constitution, and Laws of the United States, which shall be made in
Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made,
under the Authority of the United States, shall be the Supreme Law
of the Land...." The United Nations Charter, other charters, and
international instruments or treaties made under U.S. authority are
part of "the Supreme Law of the Land."

From the fall of 2001 to at least March 2003, the following
officials, and others, made hundreds of false assertions in
speeches, on television, at the United Nations, to foreign leaders,
and to Congress: President Bush, Vice President Cheney, Press
Secretary Ari Fleisher, Condoleezza Rice, Colin Powell, Donald
Rumsfeld, and Paul Wolfowitz. Their statements were remarkably
consistent and consistently false.

These falsehoods were made against an overarching deception: that
the government of Afghanistan and Iraq were involved in the 9/11
attacks.

1. The Bush administration classified the Congressional Report on
9/11 intelligence describing the Saudi Arabian government's
providing hundreds of millions of dollars to Al Quada and other
terrorist groups, yet they made numerous claims that the government
of Afghanistan supported Osama Bin Ladin.

The 2001 anthrax attacks in the United States occurred over the
course of several weeks beginning on September 18, 2001.

The UN Security Council also issued a resolution on September 18,
2001 directed towards the Taliban demanding that they hand over the
terrorist Osama bin Laden and close all terrorist training camps
immediately and unconditionally. This war has never been authorized
by the United Nations Security Council. Security Council resolution
refused to call what happened on September 11 an "armed attack"--
that is by one state against another state. Rather they called
it "terrorist attacks." so technically it is illegal under
international law. It constitutes an act and a war of aggression by
the United States against Afghanistan.

AWOL Bush did get from Congress a War Powers Resolution
authorization. This is an imperfect declaration of war. It does not
have the constitutional significance of a formal declaration of war.
It authorizes the use of military force in specified, limited
circumstances.

The United States has engaged in extended military engagements in
Afghanistan.

"US policy was to promote the rapid development of Caspian
energy....We did so...to in essence break Russia's monopoly control
over the transportation of oil [and gas] from that region, and
frankly, to promote Western energy security through diversification
of supply" (quoted in Rashid, Taliban, 174; cf. 162).

US energy company Unocal was the "lead company" among those that
would build the pipeline, which would bring Turkmen gas to market
annually. Unocal - which led a consortium of companies from Saudi
Arabia, Pakistan, Turkmenistan, Japan and South Korea - has
maintained the project is both economically and technically feasible
once Afghan stability was secured.

On October 7, 2001, the US attacks Afghanistan. (After
propositioning/deploying US troops to bases in former Soviet states
near Afghanistan.

2. Vice President Cheney claimed in Sept. 2002 irrefutable evidence
(yellow cake) existed that Iraq has reconstituted their nuclear
weapons program, a claim he repeated in March 2003.

3. On October 1, 2002 at 10 pm the Bush Administration released a
unclassified white paper summary of the October top secret CIA,
National Intelligence Estimate, the night before Senate hearings
were to begin about the declaration of war. This white paper was
completely misleading, it was the talking points for the war. It
mentioned no qualifiers to the intelligence and even added language
to distort the severity of the threat.

4. On Sept. 8, 2002, anonymous "official" told the New York Times,
Cheney, Rumsfeld, Powell, Rice, and Gen. Myers said the tubes were
suitable for making nuclear weapons.

The declassified white paper failed to mention the
dissent/disagreement about the intended use of the aluminum tubes by
the State Department's and Energy Department's intelligence analysis
that the tubes were not suited for use in centrifuges.

5. Powell claimed in Feb. 2003 with "confidence and virtual
certainty" that "Iraq today has a stockpile of between 100 and 500
tons of chemical weapons agents..."

6. July 15, 2003: AWOL Bush claimed that the war began because
Iraq would not admit UN inspectors, but what happened was AWOL Bush
opposed extending their work.

The Coercive Counterintelligence Interrogation of Resistant Sources

JAN 21, 2006 -- After Abu Ghraib (made the news), UW-Madison
professor Alred McCoy, 60, began his own methodical investigation
into the connections between the CIA and torture. The result is a
book released this month called A Question of Torture: CIA
Interrogation, From the Cold War to the War on Terror.

McCoy reports that in the 1950's, the CIA agency started pumping as
much as $1 billion a year into secret research on coercion and the
malleability of human consciousness (among that research was the
testing of LSD on unsuspecting subjects).
Eventually, the CIA's research would lead to a new psychological
kind of torture. Known as "no-touch" torture, it involved the use of
stress positions, sensory deprivation and sexual humiliation.

In 1986, for example, Alfred McCoy spent considerable time
interviewing the Filipino military leaders who led a coup against
dictator Ferdinand Marcos. His interview with Col.
Gregorio "Gringo" Honasan focused mostly on torture under the Marcos
regime, some of which had been carried out by Honasan using
techniques learned from the CIA.

The efforts by the CIA to suppress one of his books, The Politics of
Heroin, was documented in the New York Times by reporter Hersh. The
book was about the agency's involvement in the Southeast Asian drug
trade.

Possible evidence of widely disseminating DU /Uranium 238

RADIATION detectors in Britain recorded a fourfold increase in
uranium levels within nine days of the start of the Iraq war on
March 19, 2003. Environmental scientists who uncovered the figures
through freedom of information laws say it is evidence that depleted
uranium from the shells and bombs was carried by wind currents to
Britain. The report says weather conditions over the war period
showed a consistent flow of air from Iraq northwards.

Orwell wrote Bush's script

SEATTLE TIMES OP-ED: February 17, 2006
...A recent Pew poll showed that Americans believe the Democrats
could lead the nation better on every issue except national
security. Bush's fear-mongering continues... The timing was
curious when, last week, Bush revealed that a terrorist plot was
thwarted in 2002.

The End of Dollar Hegemony
by Rep. RON PAUL (D- TEXAS)

Price inflation is raising its ugly head.. The housing bubble
likewise
created is deflating.

Gold prices have doubled, and federal spending is out of sight with
zero political will to rein it in. The trade deficit last year was
over $728 billion. A $2 trillion war is raging, and plans are being
laid to expand the war into Iran and possibly Syria. The only
restraining force will be the world's rejection of the dollar. It's
bound to come and create conditions worse than 1979-1980, which
required 21% interest rates to correct. But everything possible
will be done to protect the dollar in the meantime.
