Top Ten Worst Things About the Bush Years
The Bush Decade – Ten Worst Things;
Or, the Rise of the New Oligarchs
A great article about the worst of the Bush years. Here are a few highlights. For more, read the whole article as it appeared on the NewsTrust.net website:
- 10. Stagnating worker wages and the emergence of a new monied aristocracy. Of all the income growth of the entire country of the United States in the Bush years, the richest 1 percent of the working population, about 1.3 million persons, grabbed up over two-thirds of it. The Reagan and Bush cuts in tax rates on the wealthy have created a dangerous little alien inside our supposedly democratic society, of the super-rich, with their legions of camp followers (sometimes referred to as ‘analysts’ or ‘economists’ or ‘journalists’). The new lords and ladies are the Dick and Liz Cheneys and the people for whom they shill. They are the Rupert Murdochs and the Richard Mellon Scaifes, and they are guaranteed to own more and more of the country as long as more progressive taxation (i.e. pre-Reagan, not pre-Bush) is not restored. They are the ones who didn’t want a public universal health option, did not want the wars abroad to end abruptly, did not want the Copenhagen Climate convention to succeed. They are driven by pure greed and narrow profit-seeking for themselves. They always get their way, and they always will as long as you poor stupid bastards buy the line that when the government raises their taxes, it is taking something away from you.

Most Americans in the work force who have health care are covered via their employers. ‘From 1999 to 2009 health insurance premiums increased 132%” for the companies paying most of the costs of coverage to their employees. Euromonitor adds, “Average private health insurance premiums for a family of four in 1999 were US$5,485 per annum or 7.2% of household disposable income. 2008 premiums were estimated at US$12,973 per annum or 14.8% of average household disposable income.” By Bush’s last year in office, food insecurity among American families was at a 14-year high. About 49 million Americans, one in six of us, worried about having enough food to eat at some points in that year, and resorted to soup lines, food stamps, or dietary shortcuts. Some 16 million, according to the NYT, suffered from ‘“very low food security,” meaning lack of money forced members to skip meals, cut portions or otherwise forgo food at some point in the year.’

Carbon emissions grew unchecked, and the threat of climate change accelerated. In fact, Bush muzzled government climate scientists and had their reports rewritten by lawyers from Big Oil.

But note that its powers were never used against the oligarchs (unlike the case in Putin’s Russia), but rather deployed to ensure the continued destruction of the labor movement and the political bargaining power of workers and the middle class, and to harass and disrupt peace, rights and environmental movements. A part of this process was the abrogation of fourth amendment protections against arbitrary search, seizure and snooping into people’s mail and effects, and of other key constitutional rights…

The Bush administration’s post-2002 mishandling of Afghanistan, where the Taliban had been overthrown successfully in 2001 and were universally despised. The Bush administration’s attempt to assert itself with a big troop presence in the Pashtun provinces, its use of search and destroy tactics and missile strikes, its neglect of civilian reconstruction, and its failure to finish off al-Qaeda, allowed an insurgency gradually to grow…

The Iraq War, in which the US illegally launched a war of aggression that killed hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, displaced 4 million (over a million abroad), destroyed entire cities such as Fallujah, set off a Sunni-Shiite civil war, allowed Baghdad to be ethnically cleansed of its Sunnis, practiced systematic and widespread torture before the eyes of the Muslim Middle East and the world, and immeasurably strengthened Iran’s hand in the Middle East. All this on false pretexts such as ‘weapons of mass destruction’ or ‘democratization,’ for the sake of opening the Iraqi oil markets to US hydrocarbon firms– a significant faction of the oligarchic class.

The great $12 trillion Bank Robberry, in which unscrupulous bankers and financiers were deregulated and given free rein to create worthless derivatives, sell impossible mortgages to uninformed marks who could not understand their complicated terms, and then to roll this garbage up into securities re-sold like the
Cheshire cat, with a big visible smile of asserted value hanging in the air even as their actual worth disappeared into thin air.

The September 11 attacks on New York and Washington by al-Qaeda, an organization that stemmed from the Reagan administration’s anti-Soviet jihad in the 1980s and which decided that, having defeated one superpower, it could take down the other. Al-Qaeda’s largely Arab volunteer fighters had confronted the Soviets over their occupation of a major Muslim country, Afghanistan. Bin Laden was himself a Neoliberal Oligarch, but he broke with the Gulf consensus of seeking a US security umbrella, thus creating a fissure within his powerful social class. Al-Qaeda viewed the US as only a slightly less objectionable occupier, though they were willing to make an atliance of convenience in the 1980s. But they were increasingly enraged and galvanized to strike, they said, by the post-Gulf-War sanctions on Iraq that killed 500,000 children, the debilitating Israeli occupation of the Palestinians, and the establishment of US bases in the holy Arabian Peninsula (with its oil riches that Bin Laden believed were being looted for pennies by the West, aided by a supine and corrupt Saudi dynasty).

The constitutional coup of 2000, in which Bush was declared the winner of an election he had lost, with the deployment of the most ugly racial and other low tricks in the ballot counting and the intervention of a partisan and far right-wing Supreme Court (itself drawn from or serving the oligarchs), and which gave us the worst president in the history of the union, who proceeded to drive the country off a cliff for the succeeding 8 years. And that is because he was not our president, but theirs. Read the entire article 10 worst things about the Bush years here…

New World Order Endgame
For the New World Order, a world government is just the beginning.
Dear Friends
I have mixed feelings about forwarding this, but feel it has enough important info in it to make it worth watching.
To me, Alex Jones is unnecessarily antagonistic, and what the elite are trying to pull off is at least somewhat consistent with nature’s pattern of evolution: recursively reducing unmanageable complexities to higher level simplicities. (Subatomic particles form atoms, which form molecules, which form cells, which form organs, which form organisms, such as humans, who form tribes, villages, counties, states, countries, unions of countries, and inevitably it seems, World Government).
On the other hand, I feel Jones has a valid outrage about the elite’s win-lose, domination and control through secrecy and stealth, agenda. I favor Buckminster Fuller’s prescription for social evolution, as expressed in the purpose of World Game: “To make the world work for 100% of humanity, in the shortest possible time, through spontaneous cooperation, without ecological offense or the disadvantage of anyone.” He said the world will be changed by individuals of integrity freely joining in this effort. Instead, what we see happening appears to be an end run by the most powerful of the elite who are set on creating a world of super-privilege and ultra-longevity for their own offspring, with a dumbed-down servant class to provide their labor, and the elimination of everyone else as irrelevant.

Alex Jones – Endgame
Watch the full-screen video here (will open in a new window or tab)
For the New World Order, a world government is just the beginning. Once in place they can engage their plan to exterminate 80% of the world’s population, while enabling the “elites” to live forever with the aid of advanced technology. For the first time, crusading filmmaker ALEX JONES reveals their secret plan for humanity’s extermination: Operation ENDGAME.
Jones chronicles the history of the global elite’s bloody rise to power and reveals how they have funded dictators and financed the bloodiest wars—creating order out of chaos to pave the way for the first true world empire.
- Watch as Jones and his team track the elusive Bilderberg Group to Ottawa and Istanbul to document their secret summits, allowing you to witness global kingpins setting the world’s agenda and instigating World War III.
- Learn about the formation of the North America transportation control grid, which will end U.S. sovereignty forever.
- Discover how the practitioners of the pseudo-science eugenics have taken control of governments worldwide as a means to carry out depopulation.
- View the progress of the coming collapse of the United States and the formation of the North American Union.
Part of their motivation is probably due to foreseeing the effects of global warming. It seems likely that there will be extensive displacement of major populations within this century as coastal cities flood, and current temperate zones become desert, while new temperate zones are pushed toward the poles. The rate of polar ice melting is accelerating at continually astonishing speeds. Today, glaciers are retreating twice as fast as just five years ago. Greenland is covered by about 636,000 cubic miles of freshwater ice, which is now hemorrhaging into the sea at a rate of seven billion gallons an hour. That means every day it loses as much fresh water as New York City consumes in a year. We may also be reaching a tipping point, where melting sea ice (reflectance .75) reveals enough polar water (reflectance .25) for the water to absorb enough solar heat (that is otherwise reflected back to space) to heat the water enough to melt more ice to reveal more water, etc, in a runaway feedback loop. This would further speed the acceleration of Greenland’s melting. If Greenland loses its entire ice covering, oceans will rise by 23 feet. We lose New York at 10 feet, and most of Florida at less than that. Plus, warmer oceans breed stronger and more frequent hurricanes. Even at today’s ocean level, a hurricane could shut down New York with major flooding. Then there’s Antarctica . . . In other words, global warming is advancing rapidly, and is likely to produce severe consequences that the elite are making secret provisions for, which include hundreds of concentration camps already built in the U.S., and plans to eventually eliminate 80% of humanity to make the earth again sustainable.
Anyway, enjoy the movie – and have a nice day.

“Endgame” is an interesting study
Never before has a documentary assembled all the pieces of the globalists’ dark agenda. Endgame’s compelling look at past atrocities committed by those attempting to steer the future delivers information that the controlling media has meticulously censored for over 60 years. It fully reveals the elite’s program to dominate the earth and carry out the most wicked plan in all of human history.
Endgame is not conspiracy theory, it is documented fact in the elite’s own words.
