Rick Siegel Prespectives on Freedom and Liberty

It was more than disappointing when the presidential hopeful Barack Obama confirmed his change in direction voting yes on the Telecom immunity bill. The ACLU and most Americans are severely shocked at this caviler vote and the construct used to give up on holding the Telecoms or Bush accountable for high crimes of illegal spying on Americans. Obama has denied the rights of those abused by the criminal actions of Verizon, AT&T and other telecoms in exchange for a vast war chest to fund the coming elections.

It is not just that 80 percent of Americans want to get out of Iraq, the government of Iraq, an installed and funded puppet regime of George Bush, has joined the 80 percent of American people begging George Bush to pull his war machine from Iraq. For over a year the Bush administration has been trying to push an agreement, not a treaty that would have to go to the Congress, with the installed puppet regime to keep US troops in the country and take the nations oil wealth for its private corporations. The Bush agreement also demands complete sovereignty in Iraq for all US officials and mercenary and private military contractors to move, attack, arrest, with immunity with a license to kill without question.

It seems strange to read McClellan defend Bush and his real reasons to war saying he did not believe George Bush "deliberately or consciously sought to deceive the American people" when his real agenda was to topple the government and try and spread freedom. Freedom meaning a government installed and mirroring the US government. This strange form of "Freedom" will be forced at the point of a gun.

McClellan goes on to outline this as “a marketing choice” to downplay this rational and build up the fake weapons of mass destruction.

While the US corporate president declares Iran a terrorist nation both in the USA and in a recent visit to Israel I thought we might look at the meaning and breath of what is terror and who is a real terrorist.

Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson this Sunday defended the Federal Reserves decision to bail out the Bear Stearns investment bank increasing the debt American taxpayers will hold for the profits expected by bankers before the crash. Paulson assured “The government is prepared to do what it takes” and will print money at taxpayer expense to assure the profits of these huge banks.
