Political Free-Fall In The United States

Secret Plans for Iran War and
Election Fraud Charged
Impeachment Demands

�Americans strongly oppose the Bush administration and show signs of mounting anger. Popular anger is clear from the very low Bush approval ratings in the mid to low thirties. Only 27% of Americans think that the country is headed in the right direction, while 60% or more think it is not. These shocking right/wrong direction figures have been constant since October 2005.� Cont�.

�The United States is in a volatile condition, ready to erupt. The old structures have little influence and new forces propel public opinion and policy choices. The corporate media (CM) continues to give Bush a �get out of jail free� card on almost every scandal. The CM either refuses to cover the news or covers scandals for a brief period prior to stumbling into a �short attention span theater� featuring journalistic amnesia. American journalists show a stronger resemblance to Guy Pearce�s "Leonard" in Memento than to their imagined role model, Edward R. Murrow.

Americans now have to develop their political judgments by performing archeological digs which delve far deeper than the fragments and smattered sound bites of inconsistent corporate media coverage. To a greater degree, public opinion and consensus is formed in discussions with neighbors, co-workers, and within community organizations, unions, churches, and political parties. Parallel news paths like internet news organizations, news aggregators, email distribution lists, and web pages now show vastly increased activity and influence. In the absence of an open and honest news media, where else could the requisite facts and analyses arise creating the demand for a Bush impeachment other than these virtual and physical public squares?� Cont�

Causis Belli for Impeachment

As though conspiring to generate even more opposition, the Bush White House and its neoconservative functionaries are now accused of readying a long planned war against Iran. National security expert James Bamford, author of Puzzle Palace (on the National Security Agency) and Pretext for War just published an article in Rolling Stone Magazine which details the plans.

It was a role that AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee) was eager to play. Rosen, recognizing that Franklin could serve as a useful spy, immediately began plotting ways to plant him in the White House�specifically in the National Security Council, the epicenter of intelligence and national-security policy. By working there, Rosen told Franklin a few days later, he would be "by the elbow of the president."

Knowing that such a maneuver was well within AIPAC's capabilities, Franklin asked Rosen to "put in a good word" for him. Rosen agreed. "I'll do what I can," he said, adding that the breakfast meeting had been a real "eye-opener."

Working together, the two men hoped to sell the United States on yet another bloody war. A few miles away, digital recorders at the FBI's Language Services Section captured every word.� Cont�.
