The Feeling of a Coup
By ANTHONY LEWIS
BOSTON -- We are learning something these days about the power of a
willful president. Without a popular mandate, George W. Bush is making
radical changes that will have long-term consequences for this country
and the world. He is making them in a hurry, and for the moment there
are no checks or balances to stop him.
Day after day headlines tell us of fundamental policy reversals. Mr.
Bush spurns the global effort, going back to the first Bush
presidency, to reduce global warming. He calls off talks with North
Korea about its missiles, casting doubt on the whole attempt to ease
relations between South and North. He proposes to rethink U.S. aid
programs that help dismantle former Soviet nuclear, chemical and
biological weapons.
A string of Bush administration decisions has halted steps to protect
the environment. Arsenic in drinking water, roads in national forests
and so on: limits are going to be "restudied."
The reasons given for the environmental decisions have been almost
insultingly unconvincing. Christie Whitman, administrator of the
Environmental Protection Agency, said she was withdrawing the arsenic
limit set in a Clinton administration regulation because it had not had
"thorough review" in terms of "sound science." In fact, the limit was
proposed by highly regarded scientists after extended study.
Mr. Bush, explaining to senators why he opposed the Kyoto protocol on
global warming, spoke of the "incomplete state of scientific knowledge
of the causes of, and solutions to, global climate change." Of course
the science is incomplete on global warming, as it is on most subjects.
But virtually all scientific experts support the theory that greenhouse
gas emissions contribute to warming.
Contempt for public opinion as well as for science is evident in the
environmental decisions. A striking example is what has happened to a
Clinton regulation that prohibited road-building in about a third of the
national forests.
The head of the Forest Service, Michael P. Dombeck, resigned the other
day and sent a letter to his boss, Ann M. Veneman, the secretary of
agriculture. He respectfully urged her not to abandon the ban on roads.
"Doing so," he wrote, "would undermine the most extensive multi- year
environmental analysis in history, a process that included over 600
public meetings and generated 1.6 million comments, the overwhelming
majority of which supported protecting roadless areas."
Mr. Dombeck's plea is not likely to move the Bush administration. It
postponed the effective date of the road-building regulation for 60 days
for further review. And in the meantime its lawyers have not defended
the regulation in a lawsuit brought against it by the Boise Cascade
timber company and the state of Idaho.
The American public would almost certainly vote to protect roadless
parts of the national forests, as it would to reduce the amount of
arsenic in water. But the public is not the audience that concerns Mr.
Bush and his appointees. They are out to please the interests that
supported and financed his campaign: timber companies, mining companies
and the rest.
Nor is Mr. Bush moved by the arguments of respected Republican elders.
As he ordered a review of the program for dismantling Soviet weapons,
former Senator Howard Baker — whom he has named ambassador to Japan —
was telling the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that the program
should be funded in full.
The Bush motto, a Washington quip has it, is "Do it my way or no way."
That catches the willful quality of these first months. But there is
more to the story than that.
This is the most radical administration in living American memory. I use
the word deliberately. Today's right calls itself "conservative," but it
is not that. Conservatives want to conserve. That is why Teddy Roosevelt
started the national parks and the conservation movement. George W. Bush
and his people are driven by right-wing ideology to an extent not
remotely touched by even the Reagan administration.
And we haven't seen the half of it. As Mr. Dombeck said of opening the
national forests to road-building, the decisions "will have implications
that will last many generations."
All this from a man who ran as a "compassionate conservative,"
concealing his hard-edged ideology, and who could not get half the
voters to vote for him even in that guise.

"I assured the prime minister, my administrationwill work hard to lay
the foundation of peace in
the Middle--to work with our nations in the Middle East, give peace a
chance. Secondly, I
told him that our nation will not try to force peace, that we'll
facilitate peace and that we will
work with those responsible for a peace."--Photo opportunity with
Ariel Sharon, Washington,
D.C., March 20, 2001
Gosh. When you have the power to force peace in the middle east, it
must be real
difficult calling up the resolve to lay off and give them a fair chance
to
massacre one another.
Not dead, in jail, or a slave?

Political Correctness; Cowardice dressed up as good manners. An attempt to

Fidel Castro would probably be a moderate to this

The liberal columnists seem to be getting nastier and

S&W delenda est.
As for "fascist junta" ... I haven't noticed any
goose-stepping soldiers in the streets. "Fascist"
apparently means "anyone to the right of Hillary
Clinton" to you. It's a ridiculous definition and
must be ignored.
Expect "W" to continue to un-do leftist excesses.
It's a good thing, and it was about time.
Clinton's policies had nothing to do with the "scandals".
The "scandals" were merely fabrications of the far right,
with the exception of his blowjob, which had nothing to do
with his job and was hardly scandalous to begin with.

The rest of the world were laughing at the idiocy of the
Repuritans.

George W. is trying to undo the *progress* that we made
during the last 8 years, and send us into the 19th century.
> We need a President with courage to right the wrongs of
these last 8 years.
> We have one.
Unfortunately, he's trying to wrong the rights of the last 8
years.

Nobody would suck GW's dick unless he paid them to do it.

nuke our cities.
Neither did Clinton, so what's the problem?
> Betcha G.W. is not a traitor.
Unlike Clinton, GW *is* a traitor. GW stole the election. GW
is ruining the economy. GW is trying to poison our water,
pollute our air, drive endangered species to extinction and
increase the threat of global warming. GW is trying to take
away our rights. GW is the most un-American president we've
had since Raygun. America stands for FREEDOM. GW is trying
to take our freedoms away, which is treasonous in my eyes.

Clinton replaced the dirty criminals of the previous 12
years, and ran the cleanest administration in decades. Now
the criminals have returned.

brutality,

Administration.
That's becasue Democrats don't stoop to scandalmongering -
that's a Republican trait. Accusations mean nothing without
substance. The Re-pube-lickers spent 8 years accusing
Clinton of everything from drug runing to murder, and found
nothing but a blowjob. Of course the Republicans won't
accuse GW of such things. Just wait until 2004 when we have
another Dem president, and the baseless accusations will fly
again.
> Tree Huggers just hate it.
We don't stoop so low as to invent scandals to destroy our
enemies. We prefer to attack our enemies with facts.

"Nor is there sufficient objective evidence today of a national
consensus against executing mentally retarded capital murderers,
since petitioner has cited only one state statute that explicitly
bans that practice, and has offered no evidence of the general
behavior of juries in this regard. Opinion surveys indicating
strong public opposition to such executions do not establish a
societal consensus, absent some legislative reflection of the
sentiment expressed therein."

Fascism is very good. Here is a quote from Mein Kampf:
"The fight which Fascist Italy waged against Jewry's three principle
weapons, the profound reasons for which may not of been consciously
understood (though I do not believe this myself) furnishes the best proof
that the poison fangs of that Power which transcends all State boundaries
are being drawn, even though in an indirect way. The prohibition of
Freemasonry and secret societies, the supression of the supernational Press
and the definate abolition of Marxism, together with the steadily
increasing consolidation of the Fascist concept of the State--all this will
enable the Italian Government, in the course of some years, to advance more
and more the interests of the Italian people without paying any attention to
the hissing of the Jewish world-hydra.
"The English situation is not so favourable. In that country which
has 'the freest democracy' the Jew dictates his will, almost unrestrained
but indirectly, through his influence on public opinion."
There was a book in ordinary bookstores called "An Empire of Their
Own". It was a pro-Jewish book but it showed that the Jews ran Hollywood.
Here are some quotes from a magazine for Jews called "Moment". It is
subtitled "The Jewish magazine for the 90's" These quotes are from the Aug
1996 edition after the Headline "Jews Run Hollywood - So What?":
"It makes no sense at all to try to deny the reality of Jewish power
and prominence in popular culture. Any list of the most influential
pruduction executives at each of the major movie studios will produce a
heavy majority of recognizably Jewish names."
"the famous Disney organization, which was founded by Walt Disney, a
gentile Midwesterner who allegedly harbored anti-Semetic attitudes, now
features Jewish personnel in nearly all its most powerful positions."
The head of Walt Disney studios is now the Jew Michael Eisner. On
studios that were bought out by the Japanese the magazine says:
"When Mitsushita took over MCA-Universal, they did nothing to undermine the
unquestioned authority of Universal's legendary - and all Jewish -
management triad of Lew Wasserman, Sid Scheinberg, and Tom Pollack."
Here are some quotes from the paper "Jews Control the Media and Rule
America"
"American Broadcasting Companies (ABC), Coumbia Broadcasting System
(CBS), and National Broadcasting Company (NBC). Each of these three has been
under the absolute control of a single man over a long enough period of
time--ranging from 32 to 55 years--for him to staff the corporation at every
level with officers of his choosing and then to place his imprint indelibly
upon it. In each case that man has been a Jew.
"Until 1985, when ABC merged with Capital Cities Communications,
Inc...the chairman of the board of directors and chief executive officer
(CEO) of the network was Leonard Harry Goldenson, a Jew...In an interview in
the April 1, 1985 issue of Newsweek, Goldenson boasted 'I built this company
(ABC) from scratch.'"
"CBS was under the domination of William S. Paley for more than half
a century. The son of immigrant Jews from Russia..."
"There has been no move by top G-E management to change the Jewish
"profile" of NBC or to replace key Jewish personel. To the contrary, new
Jewish executives have been added: an example is Steve Friedman..."
"The man in charge of the television entertainment division at CBS is
Jeff Sagansky. At ABC the entertainment division is run by two men....nearly
all of the men who shape young Amercians' concept of reality, of good and
evil, of permissible and impermissible behavior are Jews. In particular,
Sagansky and Bloomberg arre Jews. So is Tartikoff. Littlefield is the only
Gentile who has had a significant role in TV entertainment programming in
recent years."
"American Film magazine listed the top 10...entertainment companies
and their CEOs...Time Warner Communications (Steven J Ross, Jew) Walt Disney
Co. (Michael D. Eisner, Jew)...Of the 10 top entertainment CEOs listed
above, eight are Jews."
"The Newhouse media empire provides an example of more than a lack of
real competition among America's daily newspapers; it also illustrates the
insatiable appetite Jews have shown for all organs of opinion... The
Newhouse's own 31 daily newspapers, including several large and important
ones, such as the Cleveland Plain Dealer, the Newark Star-Ledger, and the
New Orleans Times-Picayune; the nation's largest trade book publishing
conglomerate, Random House, with all its subsideries; Newhouse
Broadcasting, consisting of 12 television broadcasting stations and 87
cable-TV systems, including some of the countries largest cable networks-
the Sunday supplement Parade, with a circulation of more than 22 million
copies per week; some two dozen major magazines, including the New Yorker,
Vogue, Madamoiselle, Glamour, Vanity Fair, HQ, Bride's, Gentlemen's
Quarterly, Self, Home&Garden...."
"Furthermore, even those newspapers still under Gentile ownership and
management are so thoroughly dependent upon Jewish advertising..."
"the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and the Washington Post.
These three...are the newspapers which set trends and guidlines for nearly
all others. They are the ones which decide what is news and what isn't, at
national and international levels. They originate the news; the others
merely copy it. And all three newspapers are in Jewish hands...The Suzberger
family also owns, through the New York Times Co. 36 other newspapers; twelve
magazines, including McCall's and Family Circle..."
"New York's other newspapers are in no better hands than the Daily
News. The New York Post is owned by billionare Jewish real-estate developer
Peter Kalikow. The Village Voice is the personal property of Leonard Stern,
the billionaire Jewish owner of..."
"There are only three newsmagazines of any note published in the United
States: Time, Newsweek, and U.S. News & World Report....The CEO of Time
Warner Communications is Steven J. Ross, and he is a Jew.
"Newsweek, as mentioned above, is published by the Washington Post
Co., under the Jewess Katherine Meyer Graham..."
"U.S. News & World Report... owned and published by Jewish real estate
developer Mortimer B. Zucherman..."
" The three largest book publishers...Random House... Simon & Schuster
, and Time Inc. Book Co....All three are owned or controlled by Jews...The
CEO of Simon & Schuster if Richard Snyder, and the president is Jeremy
Kaplan; both are Jews too."
"Western Publishing...ranks first among publishers of childrens books, with
more than 50 per cent of the market. Its chairman and CEO is Richard
Bernstein, a Jew."
"Jewish spokesmen customarily will use evasive tactics. "Ted Turner
isn't a Jew!" they will announce..."
"We are doing more than merely giving them a decisive influence on our
political system and virtual control of our government; we also are giving
them control of the minds and souls of our children..."
Gentiles run the automotive industry.
Italians run the high-end knit goods industry.
Blacks earn a heavily disproportionate amout of the money earned in
the music industry.
Cambodians are really big in donut shops.
I really don't care.
Jews seem on average to be more than normally productive.
That makes the rest of us richer than we otherwise would be.
That you complain about people succeeding ignores that one person's
success generates profits for the rest of us as well.

As a list of those running automoblies will generate Gentile names,
and so on. Industries are focused in certain communities for reasons
of historic accident.
So most of the really expensive knit goods have Italians.
Show biz has a lot of Jews, women, blacks making a lot of the money.
The military has a lot of goys.
Should we worry about the military?
Because of the failure to have top generals from other than white goy
males?
Nah.
When you can make movies better than those Weinstein brothers, you can
make them too.
Until then, stick to the things which YOU do well, like fanning
paranoia.

Which is why the innately unproductive, such as Nazis have so much
animosity for them. Those like Alex Vange are utterly incapable of
seeing a connection between one's OWN hard work and prosperity.
Parasitizing the hard work of others is what underlay both Nazism and
apartheid.
Someone once said, "Nazis, those who cannot find work led by those who
will not work."
>
>That makes the rest of us richer than we otherwise would be.
That presupposes a regard for honest labor, a concept absolutely
foreign to Nazis.
>That you complain about people succeeding ignores that one person's
>success generates profits for the rest of us as well.
Nazis don't believe in profit, only plunder.
>The military has a lot of goys.
>
>Should we worry about the military?
I'm sure he wants the army full of Ernst Roehms, not Leonard
Matloviches.
>Until then, stick to the things which YOU do well, like fanning

If you want to see what Nazis do "well", just get a copy of Frank
Collin's arrest record. Of course Alex could always break into the
film industry with a sequel to "Powder"....
