After looking at the evidence surrounding the Pat Tillman coverup, I have come to this certain conclusion: that DEATH SQUADS ARE OPERATING WITHIN THE UNITED STATES ARMY; USED AGAINST MEMBERS OF THE U.S. MILITARY ITSELF.

I am tired of endless crappola debates among the politically inclined, on whether President Obama is a "Good Guy or a Bad Guy".  Such discussions are a total waste of time, utterly pointless, change nothing. Obama really has VERY LIMITED power. This doesn't make him, in my view, a "hand-picked tool of Wall Street". {Wall Street had hand-picked Ms. Clinton for that role. Obama rode a genuine populist surge that surprised everyone!} Obama, with his LIMITED power, is like a "manager", trying to keep everyone happy if possible. Like a guy negotiating between Capital, the Bosses, and Labor, the Unions. In a situation where the Bosses basically hold ALL the cards! Trying to win for the "Unions" {to continue that metaphor} what concessions he can!

Who is really in power? CHENEY and his gang! and he is going around FLAUNTING that power! Bush was of course never in power, never had any power at all, was just a figurehead. But Obama is in a very tricky position. He is in NO SENSE in a position to make a "revolution" or a "coup"! And, in what I think Obama is trying to do, he may very well fail! The powers against him may be too great......

We are not REALLY a "Democracy"; not any more; we are an OLIGARCHY, rule by the few, with Democratic outside wrappings! We really ought to recognize this...... This is totally different from the Roosevelt era, when the President actually DID have some power. With the Kennedy assassination, essentially a coup was effected..... that has remained in power EVER SINCE. I am not going in for the Illuminati, the Elders of Zion, the Freemasons, the Knights Templar, aliens from outer space, "the Bilderberg group", or any of that stuff! However, we DO have a shadow government behind the facade of "democratic institutions". Calling it "Bilderberg" or anything else, does NOTHING to help understand it, or feel you have some kind of "control" just by NAMING it! {A well-known form of MAGIC, nothing more!} Besides, I think that the Oligarchy changes constantly, has internal power struggles we know nothing about, etc. It isn't just one specifically identified group of people you can point to and name! A whole lot is VERY undercover..... the main characteristic of this group, as in ALL such various dominant groups thruout Human History, is its willingness to use total brutal force, to succeed........ call it Social Darwinism if you will.

Obama of COURSE, KNOWS all this. He KNOWS who was really responsible for 9/11, for the Kennedy assassination, for the CIA-sponsored coup in Indonesia. If WE can know, OBAMA knows. He may be trying to do what "good", what large or small reforms, he can, under these deplorable circumstances..... and, he could fail.

McChrystal {sp.?} is a case in point. His being put in charge in Afghanistan. He has been associated with Black Ops. {That is where the REAL power base lies, in the secret Black Ops, NOT in such an open, and juvenilely ridiculous, place like Bohemian Grove!!!!!!!} He has also been associated with the cover-up on Pat Tillman's death. The reports on Pat Tillman lead me to believe, that DEATH SQUADS are operating WITHIN THE AMERICAN ARMY. Pat Tillman, a very high-profile person, was starting to question the rationale of the Iraq war; WHY WERE ALL HIS JOURNALS BURNED AT THE SAME TIME THEY BURNED HIS CLOTHES??? And, a LOT OF OTHER "SUICIDES" and "Friendly Fire" incidents, are being questioned ALSO. DEATH SQUADS OPERATING IN THE U.S. ARMY, JUST AS IN LATIN AMERICA and Palestine, etc....... The purpose of this, is to "nip in the bud" ANY Army Resistance, like that which stopped the Viet Nam war...... The hopelessness of forming any similar Resistance in this case, has led to the REAL suicides of soldiers {not faked}, who see NO solidarity and NO other way out........

So, the way I see it, Obama was FORCED to choose McChrystal...... he has very little room to operate, Obama, maybe he has even less room than he thot he would have when he was running for office..... tho on the other hand, Obama was certainly not blind to it, either. And, however much we demonstrate, communicate, express outrage and Public Opinion, it will have VERY LITTLE EFFECT ON THE REAL POWER, ON THE OLIGARCHY........ The after-Kennedy Oligarchy has found, much to the surprise of some of its more hidebound members, that it can absorb Social Change and still remain in power; it can absorb long hair on guys, tie-dyed T-shirts, rock music, Civil Rights for Blacks, and for Women, and for Gays, and still remain in power as its basic self, power that is BASED ON VIOLENCE AND THE WILLINGNESS TO USE FORCE, openly or covertly...... And, it will most likely CO-OPT THE GREEN MOVEMENT IN THE SAME WAY.....!

Bush Executive Order: Criminalizing the Antiwar Movement visit site US Politics & Gov't (tags: bushadministration, bush, constitution, americans, freedoms, government, iraq ) Pamela Ly  - globalresearch.ca "Blocking Property of Certain Persons Who Threaten Stabilization Efforts in Iraq" provides the President with the authority to confiscate the assets of whoever opposes the US led war. Under this executive order, opposing the war becomes an illegal act. ================================= The ONLY answer to this situation, is to MUTINY FOR PEACE. MUTINY FOR PEACE. You may be noticing, that CONGRESS IS TAKING NO ACTION; AND WILL TAKE NO ACTION. So DON'T BE SURPRISED if NOTHING happens there. You are DELUDING yourselves if you think the answer lies with Congress. NOBLE EFFORT, guys, thank you, and I am doing it too. Knowing that IT HAS NO CHANCE OF WORKING. The ANSWER LIES WITH THE ARMY. Bush/Cheney are COUNTING on the Army, to carry out and ENFORCE their Dictatorial Decrees. With GUNS. But, the Army are OUR SONS AND DAUGHTERS. The Army is NOT ROBOTS, NOT ALIENS FROM OUTER SPACE.   The Army must BREAK THE HABIT OF BLIND OBEDIENCE, subservience to a Commander-in-Chief who is NOT WORTHY OF ANYONE'S OBEDIENCE OR RESPECT. Bush is COUNTING ON the Army. If the Army will shoot, on Bush's orders, an Iraqi, the same Army will shoot, on Bush's orders, YOU. MUTINY FOR PEACE is the ONLY solution. I probably will be one of those who "has my property confiscated" for saying this. But, WE MUST LET THE ARMY KNOW, THAT WE SUPPORT THEM  WHEN THEY MUTINY FOR PEACE. We have ALREADY lost our Democratic Rights. Congress is AFRAID. The next {s}elections WON'T BE HELD; unless the Repug thugs can STEAL THEM. MUTINY FOR PEACE. MUTINY FOR PEACE. MUTINY FOR PEACE. MUTINY FOR PEACE. Tell the Troops the Truth of what is happening here. Then the Troops will know what to do. If the Troops lose the Will to fight, THERE IS NO POWER ON EARTH THAT CAN MAKE THEM FIGHT. No threat, and no punishment can make Troops fight, if they lose the Will to fight. MUTINY FOR PEACE. Believe me, it's our ONLY HOPE. BMutiny ThemIDefy  Friday August 3, 2007, 9:35 am "In substance, under this executive order, opposing the war becomes an illegal act. The Executive Order criminalizes the antiwar movement. It is intended to "blocking property" of US citizens and organizations actively involved in the peace movement. It allows the Department of Defense to interfere in financial affairs and instruct the Treasury to "block the property" and/or confiscate/ freeze the assets of "Certain Persons" involved in antiwar activities. It targets those "Certain Persons" in America, including civil society organizations, who oppose the Bush Administration's "peace and stability" program in Iraq, characterized, in plain English, by an illegal occupation and the continued killing of innocent civilians. The Executive Order also targets those "Certain Persons" who are "undermining efforts to promote economic reconstruction", or who, again in plain English, are opposed to the confiscation and privatization of Iraq's oil resources, on behalf of the Anglo-American oil giants. The order is also intended for anybody who opposes Bush's program of "political reform in Iraq", in other words, who questions the legitimacy of an Iraqi "government" installed by the occupation forces. Moreover, those persons or nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), who provide bona fide humanitarian aid to Iraqi civilians, and who are not approved by the US Military or its lackeys in the US sponsored Iraqi puppet government are also liable to have their financial assets confiscated. The executive order violates the First, Fourth and Fifth Amendments of the US Constitution. It repeals one of the fundamental tenets of US democracy, which is the right to free expression and dissent. The order has not been the object of discussion in the US Congress. So far, it has not been addressed by the US antiwar movement, in terms of a formal statement. Apart from a bland Associated Press wire report, which presents the executive order as "an authority to use financial sanctions", there has been no media coverage or commentary of a presidential decision which strikes at the heart of the US Constitution.. " =========================================== THIS ORDER, AS YOU MAY NOTICE, DOES MORE THAN MERELY CRIMINALIZE THE ANTI-WAR MOVEMENT. IT SEEKS TO LEGITIMATIZE THE SEIZURE OF IRAQ'S OIL RESOURCES BY BUSH/CHENEY/HALLIBURTON; AN OUTRIGHT THEFT NO BETTER THAN A BURGLARY. The U.S. Troops who are assisting their Commander-in-THIEF with this BURGLARY and OUTRIGHT THEFT, are actually, if they ONLY KNEW IT, NO BETTER THAN HIT MEN AND HIT WOMEN FOR THE MAFIA, FOR A KLEPTOCRACY OUT-OF-CONTROL. THE TROOPS ABSOLUTELY MUST BE TOLD THE TRUTH OF WHAT THEY ARE PARTICIPATING IN. THEY MUST. THEY MUST BE TOLD THE TRUTH, AND ALL THE TRUTH. Then the Troops themselves will know what to do with this information. MUTINY FOR PEACE. That is the ONLY way to END THIS LONG NIGHTMARE, which is getting WORSE. Aside from the deaths and their OWN injuries and psychological disabilities, WHAT SORT OF WORLD WILL THE TROOPS BE COMING HOME TO??? Unless THEY THEMSELVES STOP FIGHTING in Iraq and MUTINY FOR PEACE?????????????           "Silence, they say, is the voice of complicity. But silence is impossible. Silence screams. Silence is a message, just as doing nothing is an act. Let who you are ring out & resonate in every word & every deed. Yes, become who you are. There's no sidestepping your own being or your own responsibility. What you do is who you are. You are your own comeuppance. You become your own message. You are the message." In the Spirit of Crazy Horse ---Leonard Peltier =========================== The troops must actually be very near to Mutiny now, for this Executive Order, which reflects Bush's FEAR, to come at this time. If your country has any Troops in Iraq or Afghanistan, this applies equally to YOUR country's troops. If you are near any American bases in any country, in Europe, Asia, or wherever, YOU CAN TALK TO THE TROOPS THERE. If you have family or friends in the Military, YOU ARE IN AN ESPECIALLY GOOD POSITION TO TALK TO THE TROOPS; TO TELL THE TROOPS THE TRUTH. BMT [The TRUTH is, that they are being HIT MEN AND HIT WOMEN FOR BUSH/CHENEY. That is the ONLY TRUTH. Many Troops more-than-suspect-it ALREADY. It should NOT BE THAT DIFFICULT, in many cases, to TALK TO THE TROOPS. There are also means like Posters where the troops can see them, Leaflets and Flyers, Signs in demos, and GRAFFITI!] [A really good opportunity for Americans, is when TROOPS COME HOME ON LEAVE BEFORE RE-DEPLOYMENT. TELL THE TROOPS WHY IT IS IN THE INTERESTS OF THEIR COUNTRY, THEIR COMMUNITIES, THEIR FAMILIES, AND EVEN OF THEIR ARMY BUDDIES, TO NOT RE-DEPLOY!!! It is the Troops' PATRIOTIC DUTY TO NOT RE-DEPLOY.]

September 11th, 2001 - 9/11 - was the ONLY time in THE ENTIRE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES, that NORAD, our Air Defence System, was put on STAND DOWN. That is UNPRECEDENTED.

There was ANOTHER UNPRECEDENTED THING about NORAD on that day. NORAD WAS NOT UNDER MILITARY CONTROL. NO General, no officer, no-one at the Pentagon, was IN CHARGE OF OUR AIR DEFENCE SYSTEM ON SEPTEMBER 11TH, 2001! NORAD had just recently been put under non-military control -- under WHOSE control, then? UNDER DICK CHENEY'S CONTROL, THAT'S WHOSE CONTROL.

THIS MAKES DICK CHENEY DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE FOR NORAD NOT RESPONDING AS IT USUALLY DOES TO HIJACKED PLANES, OR TO ANY PLANE THAT STRAYS AN IOTA FROM ITS FLIGHT PATH. This is something that actually happens SEVERAL times a year, that fighter jets are sent to intercept or guide aircraft that strays just a teeny bit from the pre-set flight path. ESPECIALLY if it is near the Pentagon! The fighter jets can be SCRAMBLED IN JUST A FEW MINUTES -- and, they ROUTINELY ARE, EVERY SINGLE DAY OF EVERY SINGLE YEAR BOTH BEFORE AND AFTER SEPT 11 2001. 9/11 WAS THE ONE SINGLE DAY IN ALL OF HISTORY THAT NORAD WAS ORDERED TO STAND DOWN.

AND, IT WAS BY ORDERS OF DICK CHENEY, WHO HAD TAKEN OVER FROM THE MILITARY THAT WOULD NORMALLY BE IN CHARGE -- DUH, WHO ELSE? -- OF OUR AIR DEFENSE.

AS ANYONE CAN SEE, 1] THIS MAKES DICK CHENEY ONE OF THE CRIMINALS DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE LOSS OF 3000 LIVES ON 9/11.

2] 9/11 HAD TO HAVE BEEN PLANNED IN ADVANCE. IT WAS NOT A MERE MIS-ADMINISTRATION RESPONSE TO SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED FORTUITOUSLY. IT HAD TO HAVE BEEN SET UP SO THAT DICK CHENEY WAS IN CHARGE ON THAT PARTICULAR DATE; AND NOT THE MILITARY OFFICERS WHO WOULD NORMALLY AND ROUTINELY HAVE BEEN IN CHARGE.

3] DICK CHENEY IS TORTURING PRISONERS TO MAKE THEM "CONFESS" TO SOMETHING HE HIMSELF DID.  IT IS, FROM DICK CHENEY'S POINT OF VIEW, THE PERFECT COVERUP.

It is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT for all of us on the anti-Bush front to be clear, that the "War on Terror" is a COMPLETE FRAUD; just like 9/11 WAS A HOAX ON THE AMERICAN PUBLIC, who were made to believe in the "19 guys with boxcutters" fairy tale.

Dick Cheney is very smart, in getting us to discuss whether torture is torture, etc., RATHER THAN THAT "TERRORISTS" ARE NOT AND NEVER WERE GUILTY OF 9/11; BUT THAT DICK CHENEY {among others} IS guilty of 9/11.

The slightest amount of real research, will bear out this contention. NO FOREIGNER IS OR EVER WAS OR EVER WILL BE ABLE TO GIVE ORDERS TO AMERICAN ARMED FORCES SUCH AS NORAD, AMERICA'S AIR DEFENSE SYSTEM.

NO CIVILIAN OTHER THAN DICK CHENEY, HAS EVER IN ALL OF UNITED STATES HISTORY, GIVEN ORDERS OF ANY KIND TO NORAD. UNTIL THE DATE OF 9/11.

Therefore, NO ARAB OR ANY OTHER SORT OF "TERRORISTS" ORDERED NORAD TO STAND DOWN ON SEPTEMBER 11TH, 2001. If NORAD had behaved in the routine way that NORAD all other times behaved, any airplanes deviating from a flight path would have been intercepted within MINUTES. That is how NORAD has behaved every single other day of its existence, EXCEPT on the day of 9/11. The ONLY EXCEPTION EVER. And DICK CHENEY HAD JUST PUT HIMSELF IN CHARGE. ANTICIPATING WHAT WOULD OCCUR.

I know this is psychologically hard for many people to accept. I was once on that wavelength too. BUT THE FACTS ARE OVERWHELMINGLY CONVINCING; AND ALLOW OF ONLY ONE CONCLUSION.

If there is any other possible conclusion, I would like to know what it is.

I repeat, DICK CHENEY IS TORTURING HELPLESS PRISONERS, IN ORDER TO COVER UP HIS OWN TRACKS AND BAMBOOZLE THE PUBLIC STILL MORE; TO GET THE TORTURED PRISONERS TO "CONFESS" TO EXACTLY THOSE CRIMINAL ACTS AND MURDERS THAT DICK CHENEY HIMSELF HAS COMMITTED.
