A question that could destroy the GOP

[EVDebs]

CUNNINGHAM SCANDAL FIGURE LINKED
TO IRAN CONTRA COCAINE TRAFFICKING
http://www.madcowprod.com/12072005.html

the article poses this important question:

"" Did U.S. intelligence agencies assist in funneling rivers of cash from suspect defense contractors into the campaign coffers of pro-war Republican lawmakers?

Was U.S. taxpayer money secretly used to subvert American democracy? ""

The answer is YES. Further M$M reporting tries to do damage control by now answering the question that goes begging:


FBI probes Watergate prostitution allegations
Infamous hotel used by defense contractor to entertain lawmakers?

1. Interesting...another story that the MSM isn't interested in.

Just like that DC-9 that AP reported on (and then....poof!) -> the 5.5 tons of coke in a plane dressed up in official USG-like emblems owned by Republican Party activists....from the same airport where some of the 9/11 hijackers operated out of.

[Kablooie]

16. Yep. This was big months ago but the just fizzled out.

LIKE EVERY DAMN CRIMINAL THING THESE ASSHOLES DO!

Face it. The public doesn't care. If the Nazi party was here
and filling up concentration camps, no one would think twice.

WE would of course, but most of America really couldn't care less.

[loudsue]

2. This is why we need to get the Dems to reinstate the Fairness Doctrine

NOW, and start dismantling the HUGE media conglomerates that have taken over our air waves.

And we need some rulings in the FCC that DEFINE what is news and what is pure propaganda, so that the American people, once again, have access to the critical information that affects ALL of us.

The repervlikins PURPOSELY dismantled the Fairness Doctrine to consolidate the media under their own corporate roof, and it's time to get the media back into the business of reporting news, not propaganda.

To have a Democracy that works, you really need 3 things:

1) To have all the votes of the people counted accurately and transparently.

2) To have freedom of the press, to keep an eye on what public officials are doing, and to QUESTION and EXPOSE what they are doing.

3) To have a middle class. Democracy does not work in a 2 class system, because you end up with the rulers and the slaves, and that's about it.

The repervlikins have managed to disembowel Democracy by destroying ALL THREE of the requirements.

3. Now deceased investigators Danny Casolaro and Gary Webb WERE ONTO THIS

But were discounted, discredited, and now deceased. M$M's Operation Mockingbird needs to be investigated in Congress, much like the old Church cmte. hearings brought out the truth and much needed blowback, on anti-democratic shenanigans within the old intelligence agencies. The more things change the more they've stayed the same.

What were these idiots thinking in CIA, NSA ? Certainly not America's future, I can assure you of that.

11. Free elections, free press, middle class

But we have sort of shot oursselves in the foot by buying into the
"environmentalist" notion of keeping housing development verbotten
in many city and suburban areas.

As housing prices have skyrocketed forward over the last decade,
the middle class has had a harder and harder time keeping up.

[EVDebs]

6. Ask yourself , 'How did this topic get moved to 9-11' it's about intell and the GOP ?

IT's got 17 'greatest votes' and Dems / progressives need to know this info and the moderator shuttles it to the dungeon ?

Put it where it belongs either GD or Politics, don't insult our intelligence, insult the GOPS !

[Bolo Boffin]

7. Maybe the 2005 date on the story had something to do with it. n/t

[EVDebs]

9. Yeah, and that Congress is JUST NOW getting around to investigating and sentencing Cunningham

Thanks for bringing up this important delay in getting to justice, or obstruction of justice, as the case may be !

Embattled AG now accused in sex scandal 'cover-up'
Attorney General Gonzales among officials who allegedly ignored abuse of minor boys

Attorney General Alberto Gonzales

Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton, both already under siege for other matters, are now being accused of failing to prosecute officers of the Texas Youth Commission after a Texas Ranger investigation documented that guards and administrators were sexually abusing the institution's minor boy inmates.

Among the charges in the Texas Ranger report were that administrators would rouse boys from their sleep for the purpose of conducting all-night sex parties.

Ray Brookins, one of the officials named in the report, was a Texas prison guard before being hired at the youth commission school. As a prison guard, Brookins had a history of disciplinary and petty criminal records dating back 21 years. He retained his job despite charges of using pornography on the job, including viewing nude photos of men and women on state computers.


The Texas Youth Comission controversy traces back to a criminal investigation conducted in 2005 by Texas Ranger Brian Burzynski. The investigation revealed key employees at the West Texas State School in Pyote, Texas, were systematically abusing youth inmates in their custody.

Burzynski presented his findings to the attorney general in Texas, to the U.S. Attorney Sutton, and to the Department of Justice civil rights division. From all three, Burzynski received no interest in prosecuting the alleged sexual offenses.

12. and the reason this topic was moved to the 9/11 forum?

[moodforaday]

13. It is this:

A quote found in a movie I watched last night: "Only the small secrets need to be protected. The big ones are kept secret by public incredulity." - Marshall McLuhan

The reason these stories end up in the dungeon is the same reason no-one really wants to hear them, even though - unlike the 9-11 MIHOP or coverup, at this time - they have been amply, and in some cases officially, documented.

14. Boy, ain't THAT a good question

Ridiculous.

15. Perhaps even more unimaginable...

Sutton might be a much bigger fish...


Emails link Johnny "House of Death" Sutton to DOJ firing scandal

The U.S. Attorney who spearheaded a cover-up of a U.S. government informant’s role in the House of Death mass murder also appears to have played a leadership role in the recent U.S. Attorney firing scandal.

That U.S. Attorney, Johnny Sutton, is the lead federal prosecutor for the Western District of Texas (based in San Antonio) and serves as chairman of the Attorney General’s Advisory Committee of U.S. Attorneys (AGAC), which has major influence in developing Department of Justice (DOJ) policies.

It is in the context of that latter role that Sutton’s name shows up in some of the e-mails turned over to Congress to date by DOJ concerning the Bush administration’s controversial move to fire eight U.S. Attorneys (USAs) — allegedly, according to some critics, in retaliation for their failure to pursue prosecutorial strategies deemed to be in the administration’s political interests.

According to the emails, it is clear Sutton was in the loop on the firings. How big a role he played, if any, in initiating or orchestrating those terminations behind the scenes is not clear from the electronic missives. But given his favored status within the Bush administration, and his long-time ties to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and to President Bush, it seems that someone in Congress should be asking that question.

Texas, Addressing Sexual Abuse Scandal, May Free Thousands of Its Jailed Youths

"...The announcement came as federal officials confirmed an unrelated inquiry into accusations of sexual abuse at a federal center for detained illegal-immigrant children in South Texas. The Los Angeles Times reported Friday that a staff member suspected of molesting children at that center, the Texas Sheltered Care facility in Nixon, east of San Antonio, had been fired and that the F.B.I. had turned the case over to Texas prosecutors.

Johnny Sutton, the United States attorney in San Antonio, confirmed in a statement that his office “worked with the F.B.I. investigating the allegations of improper sexual contact between a staff member of Texas Sheltered Care and minors who were housed at the facility.” But Mr. Sutton added: “We reluctantly concluded that the federal government did not have jurisdiction over any felony offenses allegedly committed. Because the most serious offense which might be brought by this office would at most be a misdemeanor, these allegations may be more effectively addressed by state authorities...."

17. I believe this thread was dungeoned because

the primary source belongs to the Alex Jones/Rense, etc area of less than 100% credibility on all of their stories.

[CGowen]

18. I don't know where you get A.Jones or Rense but the article is written by a guy

named Daniel Hopsicker.
http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Daniel_Hopsicker

I think he is the journalist, who made interviews with Atta's girlfriend and dug out information about the hijackers in Florida


NBC last time I checked was owned by General Electric.

[Bolo Boffin]

20. Atta's "girlfriend" has recanted.

Last time I checked.

[rman]

19. "less than 100% credibility on all of their stories" - Following that criterion, all MSM news

should be moved to the dungeon.
