White House says that Congress is ‘giving into’ left-wing bloggers who oppose torture.

A recent poll showed that 68 percent of Americans said water-boarding was torture. And that result is from CNN, a particularly right wing corporation. Imagine all the people who do not participate in CNN surveys. I expect the result would be even higher than 68 percent in that case.

The senate have recently passed legislation to ban water-boarding, regardless of Bush saying he will veto the vote, on his usual, pathetic, lazy stance that it will encourage ‘terrorism’. Yes, because kidnapping, arresting, then illegally torturing foreigners (and Americans) without fair trials is keeping terrorism down. Well done Bush, you ignorant liar.

Bush also said that they are placing to much trust in the intelligence ‘community’, by placing their trust into the hands of left-wingers. Of course! How silly and solipsistic it is to trust people who believe in equal rights, habeas corpus, and the constitution…

Another recent line of Bush is:

‘The American people will find it baffling that on a day that House leaders are trying to put off passing critical legislation to keep us safer from the threat of foreign terrorists overseas, they are spending scarce time to become the first congress in history to bring contempt charges against a president’s chief of staff and lawyer’

No, Bush, the American people will finding baffling in the future, to think that someone as authoritarian and evil as you could get into power. That’s the confusing part.

57 percent of likely voters also oppose telecom immunity. In a real democracy, the majority call goes through. But the USA is not under a democracy. It is under despotism.

I can’t wait for Bush to get out of power. The world is getting tired of his ridiculous, irrational decisions and comments. Obama will be a breath of fresh air for the world if he comes into presidency, because the statue of liberty must be pretty depressed right now.

The US presidential elections 2008

February 6, 2008 at 7:10 pm · Filed under Politics ·Tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

The US presidential elections in 2008 are a big deal. A really big deal.

With a global hegemony, massive arms supplies and a lot at stake, who wins in 2008 is going to make a large difference. Of course, this is obvious, but some people do not realize the seriousness of the situation.

I live in the UK, and from here, I feel fear for the world about who is going to become the new president. They are a superpower, so why shouldn’t we be scared. It is vital that whoever wins is going to make choices that will benefit not just America, but the rest of the world.

My heart is filled with dread. Dread that the person who wins the election could be like Bush. It reminds me of a cartoon I saw where a family were standing by the TV, waiting for the results of presidential elections with guns to their heads.

However, despite all this fear, I have immense hope for the future. Hope that the next president of the US will choose to end war, to end torture, to follow international law, to shut down Guantanamo along with other illegal, secret prisons over the world and give the inmates fair trials at last. On top of these things, the US needs to rescue the economy; to get rid of the PATRIOT act and to stop invasive, big-brother-like citizen surveillance, among many other issues.

Sadly, US government do not really have a left wing. If you look at places like Sweden, even the most ‘liberal’ of US politicians look like despots when compared to Swedish politicians.

Despite the lack of liberal candidates, I believe there is a great hope for America. Super-Tuesday has just gone, with Barack Obama achieving great success in the elections. Hillary Clinton also did well, which in my opinion is a shame due to her support of the Iraq war.

John McCain and Mitt Romney got a large number of votes for the republicans. This is shocking since McCain stated that he thinks the US should stay in Iraq for 100 years, and equally disturbing is the fact that Romney has previously tried to justify totalitarianism, and, shockingly, is part of a group set up to deny the facts of global warming. That will go down excellently with the oil corporations. As you can tell, both Romney and McCain are very conservative.

I think Barack Obama will make a great president if he wins the elections, despite the ambiguity concerning his support or opposition to the Iraq war. This is a vital time in America, and the elections could mean that, if the right candidate becomes president, the US could get back on track again – away from war; away from torture; away from the crumbling economy and the rapid destruction of civil liberties.

I hope Americans have done what they think was right in who they voted for. Whoever wins, the winner is most likely going to be better than Bush..

Bush: International criminal

January 22, 2008 at 6:38 pm · Filed under Politics, Random Rants, society ·Tagged , , , , , , , , , ,

The war machine keeps spitting out propaganda to the masses

Inventing enemies to keep the public waving flags

Wizardry, it can be called, to conjure up evil people out of dust

To gain the ignorant public’s allegiance.

They feel fear, and suddenly,

They’re asking for your guidance,

And as usual, you exploit their concern,

And use it as an excuse to police the globe

All it takes is a mindless propaganda,

It’s enough to make you hurl.

 

Now America is dominating the Earth,

And we’re on the brink of a nuclear WW3

What will it take before we stop

This egoistic, imperialist fallacy?

 

Bush and his cronies,

With the country blissfully dumb,

Can bomb whoever they want,

And steal ANYONE’S oil supplies

Whenever questioned, they just reply,

‘Terrorism is ubiquitous in these times’

 

Despite the fact,

Most of us know

There’s practically no terrorist threat

Thy continue their bloodthirsty massacres

And drive Earth into modern slavery

Controlled by a puppet master,

A fascist autocracy.

 

Yes, the war machine is at work,

Telling stories of boogie men,

To justify the torture of innocent people,

The bombings on small villages,

The invasion of any countries the administration choose to label them simply as ‘terrorists’.

They scare us, into accepting the murder of children and women in the middle east,

the transformation of what was once a democracy into a police state,

A despotic nation of unpatriotic fools,

Unconstitutional crooks

And war criminals.

 

Bush has got his finger on a red button, labeled ‘complete domination’

He’s pressing it,

While the public is distracted with celebrity gossip,

Oblivious to the moves being made.

Oblivious to the blatant disregard for international law and the Geneva Conventions.

 

Why is the public not questioning this evil coercion? Or these atrocities that lie before us.

There appears to be no wisdom anymore, only fear. We are covering our own eyes, we are sedating ourselves, we are poisoning our minds with filth that overpowers the truth.

 

The King Bush administration is ruining the world, is polluting our planet with lies and hypocrisy. Peace is a distant memory that has been erased. They are intoxicated with selfish power.

 

And the war machine continues to manufacture greed and deception, continues to take advantage of the docility of the majority. How long before we arise? How long?
