Congressman Dennis Kucinich will this Friday present his single article of
impeachment concerning the Bush administration's deliberate and
unconstitutional lies that led us to war in Iraq, putting him in tandem with
the majority of the American people, yet in the cross hairs of both Neo-Cons
and Democrats who have tried to block his efforts at every turn.
Kucinich should be commended for his brave and restless pursuit of
impeachment. Whether Bush had a few months left in office or a few years
doesn't matter one iota - the Congressman's efforts are aimed squarely at
ensuring Bush rightly goes down in history as the most flagrantly criminal
and anti-American president in history, while also making sure that a repeat
of the debacle we have witnessed over the past eight years is not allowed to
happen again.
In a preamble posted on You Tube, Kucinich explains the foundation of his
single article of impeachment, the deliberate behind-closed doors scheming
and lies that were told in anticipation of the pre-planned invasion of Iraq,
while the charade of UN weapons inspectors and diplomacy played out in
public.
(ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW)
Watch the clip.
Democrat elitists like Pelosi and Conyers are desperately trying to downplay
Kucinich's efforts and insist that impeachment is "off the table".
When Kucinich spent four hours in June reading 35 articles of impeachment
and demanding hearings, the Democrat controlled House almost instantly
dispatched them for burial to the Judiciary Committee.
According to an[2] Associated Press
report<http://www.newsday.com/news/politics/wire/sns-ap-kucinich-impeachment,0,4202871.story>,
when Kucinich tried to introduce similar articles of impeachment against
Dick Cheney last November, "Republicans, seeing a chance to force Democrats
into an embarrassing debate, voted to bring up the resolution. Democrats
countered by pushing through a motion to scuttle the bill from the floor."
The bullshit they are trying to make us swallow is that Democrats are
shunning Kucinich because they think a debate about impeachment would harm
their chances of winning the presidency.
In reality, as far back as November 2005, [3] polls showed that the majority
of Americans supported impeachment <http://impeachpac.org/?q=node/6> on the
basis of Bush lying about the invasion of Iraq, which is specifically what
Kucinich's single article of impeachment that he will present on Friday
addresses.
Likewise, [4] latest polls show that almost 70% of Americans oppose the war
in Iraq <http://www.pollingreport.com/iraq.htm>, with anti-war sentiment
swelling the longer the occupation drags on.
Support for a withdrawal from Iraq and the impeachment of George W. Bush is
wildly popular with the majority of the electorate that will vote in
November, so why are top Democrats doing everything in their power to
prevent Kucinich from drawing attention to the matter?
Because they are nothing more than political whores for the same power
structure served by the Neo-Cons, and want to advance the same agenda of
pax-Americana, imperial bloodletting and domination demanded by the new
world order and the [5] Israeli AIPAC lobby, to which Pelosi and Conyers
<http://justanothercoverup.com/?p=496>have pledged their full subservience.
Kucinich's full article of impeachment concerning the lies that led us to
war appears below.
!X!X!X!X!X!X!X!X!X!X!X!X!X!X!X!X!X!X!X!X!X!X!X-
*CREATING A SECRET PROPAGANDA CAMPAIGN TO MANUFACTURE A FALSE CASE FOR WAR
AGAINST IRAQ*
In his conduct while President of the United States, George W. Bush, in
violation of his constitutional oath to faithfully execute the office of
President of the United States and, to the best of his ability, preserve,
protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, and in violation
of his constitutional duty under Article II, Section 3 of the Constitution
"to take care that the laws be faithfully executed", has both personally and
acting through his agents and subordinates, together with the Vice
President, illegally spent public dollars on a secret propaganda program to
manufacture a false cause for war against Iraq.
The Department of Defense (DOD) has engaged in a years-long secret domestic
propaganda campaign to promote the invasion and occupation of Iraq. This
secret program was defended by the White House Press Secretary following its
exposure. This program follows the pattern of crimes detailed in Article I,
II, IV and VIII.. The mission of this program placed it within the field
controlled by the White House Iraq Group (WHIG), a White House task-force
formed in August 2002 to market an invasion of Iraq to the American people.
The group included Karl Rove, I. Lewis Libby, Condoleezza Rice, Karen
Hughes, Mary Matalin, Stephen Hadley, Nicholas E. Calio, and James R.
Wilkinson.
The WHIG produced white papers detailing so-called intelligence of Iraq's
nuclear threat that later proved to be false. This supposed intelligence
included the claim that Iraq had sought uranium from Niger as well as the
claim that the high strength aluminum tubes Iraq purchased from China were
to be used for the sole purpose of building centrifuges to enrich uranium.
Unlike the National Intelligence Estimate of 2002, the WHIG's white papers
provided "gripping images and stories" and used "literary license" with
intelligence. The WHIG's white papers were written at the same time and by
the same people as speeches and talking points prepared for President Bush
and some of his top officials.
The WHIG also organized a media blitz in which, between September 7-8, 2002,
President Bush and his top advisers appeared on numerous interviews and all
provided similarly gripping images about the possibility of nuclear attack
by Iraq. The timing was no coincidence, as Andrew Card explained in an
interview regarding waiting until after Labor Day to try to sell the
American people on military action against Iraq, "From a marketing point of
view, you don't introduce new products in August."
September 7-8, 2002:
NBC's "Meet the Press: Vice President Cheney accused Saddam of moving
aggressively to develop nuclear weapons over the past 14 months to add to
his stockpile of chemical and biological arms. CNN: Then-National Security
Adviser Rice said, regarding the likelihood of Iraq obtaining a nuclear
weapon, "We don't want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud."
CBS: President Bush declared that Saddam was "six months away from
developing a weapon," and cited satellite photos of construction in Iraq
where weapons inspectors once visited as evidence that Saddam was trying to
develop nuclear arms.
The Pentagon military analyst propaganda program was revealed in an April
20, 2002, New York Times article. The program illegally involved "covert
attempts to mold opinion through the undisclosed use of third parties."
Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld recruited 75 retired military officers
and gave them talking points to deliver on Fox, CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, and
MSNBC, and according to the New York Times report, which has not been
disputed by the Pentagon or the White House, "Participants were instructed
not to quote their briefers directly or otherwise describe their contacts
with the Pentagon."
According to the Pentagon's own internal documents, the military analysts
were considered "message force multipliers" or "surrogates" who would
deliver administration "themes and messages" to millions of Americans "in
the form of their own opinions." In fact, they did deliver the themes and
the messages but did not reveal that the Pentagon had provided them with
their talking points. Robert S. Bevelacqua, a retired Green Beret and Fox
News military analyst described this as follows: "It was them saying, 'We
need to stick our hands up your back and move your mouth for you.'"
Congress has restricted annual appropriations bills since 1951 with this
language: "No part of any appropriation contained in this or any other Act
shall be used for publicity or propaganda purposes within the United States
not heretofore authorized by the Congress."
A March 21, 2005, report by the Congressional Research Service states that
"publicity or propaganda is defined by the U.S. Government Accountability
Office (GAO) to mean either (1) selfaggrandizement by public officials, (2)
purely partisan activity, or (3) "covert propaganda."
These concerns about "covert propaganda" were also the basis for the GAO's
standard for determining when government-funded video news releases are
illegal:
"The failure of an agency to identify itself as the source of a prepackaged
news story misleads the viewing public by encouraging the viewing audience
to believe that the broadcasting news organization developed the
information. The prepackaged news stories are purposefully designed to be
indistinguishable from news segments broadcast to the public. When the
television viewing public does not know that the stories they watched on
television news programs about the government were in fact prepared by the
government, the stories are, in this sense, no longer purely factual !X the
essential fact of attribution is missing."
The White House's own Office of Legal Council stated in a memorandum written
in 2005 following the controversy over the Armstrong Williams scandal: "Over
the years, GAO has interpreted 'publicity or propaganda' restrictions to
preclude use of appropriated funds for, among other things, so-called
'covert propaganda.' !K Consistent with that view, the OLC determined in 1988
that a statutory prohibition on using appropriated funds for 'publicity or
propaganda' precluded undisclosed agency funding of advocacy by third-party
groups. We stated that 'covert attempts to mold opinion through the
undisclosed use of third parties' would run afoul of restrictions on using
appropriated funds for 'propaganda.'"
Asked about the Pentagon's propaganda program at White House press briefing
in April 2008, White House Press Secretary Dana Perino defended it, not by
arguing that it was legal but by suggesting that it "should" be: "Look, I
didn't know look, I think that you guys should take a step back and look at
this look, DOD has made a decision, they've decided to stop this program.
But I would say that one of the things that we try to do in the
administration is get information out to a variety of people so that
everybody else can call them and ask their opinion about something. And I
don't think that that should be against the law. And I think that it's
absolutely appropriate to provide information to people who are seeking it
and are going to be providing their opinions on it. It doesn't necessarily
mean that all of those military analysts ever agreed with the
administration. I think you can go back and look and think that a lot of
their analysis was pretty tough on the administration. That doesn't mean
that we shouldn't talk to
people."
In all of these actions and decisions, President George W. Bush has acted in
a manner contrary to his trust as President and Commander in Chief, and
subversive of constitutional government, to the prejudice of the cause of
law and justice and to the manifest injury of the people of the United
States.
Wherefore, President George W. Bush, by such conduct, is guilty of an
impeachable offense warranting removal from office.
