The Hollywood Liberal

Here is a trick that cops like to use to disrupt protests. In this You Tube Video which was shot in Quebec over the weekend during the protests against Bush who was up there at a summit.
A protest that is being led by a guy who looks like he is in his 60’s, most of the people in the protest are older citizens. These 3 big beefy dudes with bandanna over their faces and riot gear show up acting like they are a part of the protest, at least one of them is holding a rock. The organizer who’s name is Dave Coles begins pushing around these guys, telling them that this is a peaceful protest, to drop the rock, and get out. People in the crowd begin yelling that the three men are cops. Coles continues to make these 3 idiots look wimpy, pushing them, yelling to get out, and the whole crowd is chanting at them. The three dupes not knowing what to do begin moving toward a line of on duty cops, they say something to each other, next thing you know the 3 “Agent Provocateurs” are being arrested. Of course later on it was discovered that the 3 were not arrested at all, no record of them exists.
I guess the cops have nothing better to do then to cause problems to justify their own jobs, because hey, if there wasn’t so much crime out there. We wouldn’t need so many cops, and they would have to get jobs doing something they are qualified for besides busting heads, and harassing innocent citizens. Like maybe garbageman or something. Check out the video.

Alberto “Speedy Death” Gonzalez and Bush The Master Executioner
By Michael O’McCarthy

What is it with these ‘Right to Lifers” when they try balance their ignorance of the scientific origins of life with their moral imperative to kill off as many of the poor of this earth as possible? What form of schizophrenic illness has captured the brains of such men? Are Gonzalez and Bush struck by some distorted King Solomon-like obsession, this lust for the ultimate power of life or death over the powerless that so compels them?

Gonzalez has proven to be perhaps the most perfect caricature of the idiot Hispanic since the cartoons of Speedy Gonzalez and the cinematic shenanigans of Cisco’s Pancho. (And I believe he was intentionally picked for this assignment: to be the obedient Texicano to the Don of Texas… not as some mad joke, though given Bush’s “meanness” one could see that possibility, but more so, the best Bush could achieve in playing his “Hispanic hand.”)

But with the pathetically weak Bush this cruelty is the pure schizophrenia of the Christian fundamentalist and the narrow mean streak of an egomaniacal, immature plebe.

From his pathetic, childish mimicking of Carla Tucker’s pleas for mercy, to his opportunistic, cheerleader-like machinations during the debate with Gore when he touted the proposed execution of the hate killers of James Byrd, Bush has proven that he is a death dealer on a mission from a Charleston Hestonesque version of a fearful, retributive God:

Bush administrated over more executions than any leader of the “free world.” His tally of state murdered, “beyond a reasonable doubt,” is second only to his chief trading partner, the State Capitalist dictatorship of China: he supervised the death of 152 prisoners in his eight-year reign as governor of Texas. This remains a toll unmatched by any other elected official. In his
last administrative death march, (as the official memos prove), Bush the Governor would give the green light to executions based on no more than a half-hour briefing from Mr. Gonzales. Mr. Gonzales, in turn, often left out mitigating evidence, either by design or because he is an idiot incompetent who doesn’t t understand the finer points of jurisprudence, which of course he has proven as Attorney General

This latest attempt by the Master Executioner is all the more the moral outrage because it flies in the face of, and shows utter contempt for, the evidence that proves that far too many men and women are in death rows who are not guilty. This has been proven “beyond a reasonable doubt” by the latest spate of reversal of guilt findings by DNA science.

But this moral obscenity does not exist in a vacuum: The proportion of the US population languishing in correctional industrial complex now stands at 737 per 100,000, the highest rate on earth and some five to twelve times that of Britain, France and other Western European countries or Japan. With 5 percent of the world’s population, the United States has close to a quarter of the world’s prisoners.

The U. S. has 2.2 million people behind bars and another 5 million on probation or parole, that is approximately 3.2 percent of the adult population under some form of criminal-justice supervision, or one person in thirty-two. For African-Americans, by the end of the 1990s, 7 percent of black males were behind bars, while the rate of imprisonment for black males between the ages of 25 and 29 now stands at one in eight. Those that are not being killed in
intra-community warfare and/or due to the poison of alcohol and drugs, poverty and its illnesses are being detained in state social concentration camps.

And now the Bush reign of global terror as visited globally in the microcosm of Abu Graib’s “administrative detention” is on the fast track for an even greater bout of state murder in the U.S.

The bell of Iraq is tolling for Americans!

The failure to stop passage of this regulation and the failure to impeach Gonzalez as warm up to a war crimes impeachment and trial of George W. Bush places the Democratic Congress squarely in the line of responsibility for the continued mass murder of human beings; not that different from their failed responsibility to end Bush’s other administrative slaughter campaign in Iraq.
