  Another week has begun… let’s get busy. Sen. McCain’s campaign is accusing Sen. Obama of flip-flopping on Iraq… (Um… I think McCain has had another senior moment…)“President” Bush is lowering expectations for the upcoming G-8 Summit… (nothing says low expectations quite like George W. Bush, so it should be an easy task for him… though it’s likely it will push the US and word economy farther down the toilet…)The House and Senate go back to work this week to try and get something done before summer recess. I wouldn’t hold my breath if I were you…HT to ThinkProgress; In a 1998 interview, Osama bin Laden — the terrorist organizer of 9/11 who still roams free — listed as one of his many grievances against the U.S. that Americans “have stolen $36 trillion from Muslims” by purchasing oil from Persian Gulf countries at low prices. The real price of a barrel of oil should be $144, bin Laden demanded. […] Ten years ago today, the price of a barrel of oil was just $11. Heading into this holiday weekend, the price of a barrel of oil rested at $144 — a thirteen-fold increase. […] One month after 9/11, the New York Times wrote of possible “nightmare” scenarios that would deliver bin Laden’s goal. Neela Banerjee warned that among the “misguided decisions” that would put oil supplies at risk would be “that the United States attacks Iraq.” The Times included this quote in its story: “If bin Laden takes over and becomes king of Saudi Arabia, he’d turn off the tap,” said Roger Diwan, a managing director of the Petroleum Finance Company, a consulting firm in Washington. “He said at one point that he wants oil to be $144 a barrel” — about six times what it sells for now.” ,[…] Bin Laden didn’t have to become king of Saudi Arabia to achieve his goal; in fact, Bush’s policies delivered it for him. The Bush administration’s catastrophic decision to invade Iraq, sink the nation into debt to pay for that war, and consequently, weaken the dollar have all caused oil prices to soar astronomically. Way to go Bush(whacked Administration… heckuva job.And have we mentioned? That republicans hope “President” Bush attends a convention this summer… as long as it’s not theirs? Dana Rohrabacher (r-CA) told the NY Times; “ don't think there are a lot of people who want to see him at the convention.” (Ouch… when the party you are allegedly the leader of doesn’t want you around, you know you suck… epically… if I continue to laugh this hard, I’m gonna hurt something…)

  Oh! The Irony Of It All!

  Monticello, Thomas Jefferson, The Declaration of Independence, people from 30 countries lined up to be sworn in as US citizens, and some very vocal anti-Bush protesters versus George W. Bush and his Jack-Booted Thugs: More here and here and here and here. Read the comments here to see how successfully President Bush has united the United States of America. Some commentators think that the protesters were impolite. Oh my goodness gracious! They should have been more polite, like those that overthrew the original King George! I find it curious that President Bush chose to ignore the protesters. Except for that odd smirk and laugh he frequently does, he chose to go on about how we have the right to freedom of speech, without any sign that he was aware of what was going on before his very eyes. He could have simply addressed the protesters directly, acknowledged that they had their say, and then asked them to behave themselves out of respect for all involved. Why did he choose not to do this? If you watch the 9:47 video submitted by msnbcReporter you may end up wondering the same thing as I. Who the hell is Bush winking at?

  Bush helps swear in citizens as hecklers shout - CNN.com. To begin with, my grandfather, Maurice Maschke, was the national Republican committeeman for all northeastern Ohio, in addition, he was also the US customs inspector for the entire United States under president Harding. Additionally, my grandfathers brother, Dr. ally Maschke, was the director of mount Sinai medical center in Cleveland, Ohio. Additionally, my cousin, Dr. Victor Vertese, was also the director of mount Sinai medical center in Cleveland, Ohio. Additionally, my father, Maurice Maschke Jr., was not only one of the presidents of the national linen Association of America, but my father, Maurice Maschke Jr., and I, co-owned, pioneer linen supply company, in Cleveland, Ohio, until his death. Furthermore, my father, Maurice Maschke Jr., and I, were personal friends, with Dr. Bernard Kryle, who was one of the founders of the Cleveland clinic foundation here in Cleveland, Ohio until Dr. Kryle’s death. Furthermore, my father, Maurice Maschke Jr., was on the board of trustees of the Cleveland clinic foundation. Additionally, my aunt, Helen Hanna Maschke, was married for a period of time, to Mark Hanna, the founder of Hana mining company, which then became the 3M Co.. Additionally, my father served in World War II, with distinction and honor, as an air traffic controller, and a flight trainer. And my father always told me, that while he was not able to serve next to his comrades in battle, he always made sure they came home safely. Additionally, the Maschke family dates back to the 1700s, and the Maschke family was actually friends with Moses Cleaveland, and was one of the founding families of Cleveland, Ohio. It is also true, that Mr. Bush’s grandfather, Prescott Bush, was punished by the United States government for his helping Adolf Hitler to murder Jews during World War II. Furthermore, it is also a fact that Mr. Bush has refused to serve in any military conflict, while in fact forcing good Americans to give up their lives and die for him in a war that nobody has wanted. Furthermore, Mr. Bush has lied and has in fact violated the Constitution several times during his administration. Furthermore, Mr. Bush has continually refused to show any compassion for Jews or Muslims in the United States, or the people who are in fact American veterans who are now mostly homeless and destitute. Furthermore, Mr. Bush has basically stolen $162 billion of our money, aided by the white supremacist fundamentalist Christians of the United States, and to use that money not to help the broken medical system in this country which would save American lives, to use that money to continue the white supremacist fundamentalist Christian campaign of going through the Middle East to mass murder Jews and Muslims so that he can in fact steal the oil and natural resources from the Middle East. Mr. Bush and the Republican Party, which is now mostly made up a white supremacist fundamentalist Christians, are working as hard as they possibly can to destroy the two-party system and these United States because they do not believe in the Constitution, nor do they believe in their oath of office, nor do they believe in the freedoms this country was predicated upon. Both Mr. Bush, as a white supremacist fundamentalist Christian, and the Republican Party as white supremacists and fundamentalist Christians, are working as hard as they possibly can to deny medical care to the needy in this country. While they use taxpayers money, illegally to continue their campaign of mass murder in the United States and spread hate crimes in the United States and also at the same time use that money to continue their campaign of mass murder, in the Middle East and throughout the world, of Muslims and Jews so that they can steal all of the natural resources as they possibly can. Furthermore, it is also a fact, that Mr. Bush has suppressed repeatedly any scientific information that would validate global warming in such a way. So as to take away any of the money that Mr. Bush is trying to steal from the American people and get to his oil-rich friends in the United States and around the world. Furthermore, Mr. Bush is pretty much spit on the Constitution under the First Amendment, whereby he is in fact giving money repeatedly to white fundamentalist Christian organizations which are basically white supremacist groups, so that they can in fact have more federal funding for their campaign of destroying the two-party system and destroying any other religious group in the United States other than the white fundamentalist Christians which are basically white supremacists. It is very clear that the news media and the general media in the United States is helping Mr. Bush and his campaign. Because the only programs that are allowed on television that are religious of any kind, are white on the metal is Christian TV shows, or fundamentalist Christian TV shows, that cater basically to fundamentalist Christians who are of an extremist nature. Never are any Jewish programs allowed on television, and never are any Muslim programs allowed on television, whereby the Jewish programs, or the Muslim programs, what have equal airtime to minister to the followers of their faith. This is not only a violation of the Constitution, but it is also known, pursuant to constitutional law, as sedition, and subversion of the Constitution, both of which are treasonable offenses. I took an oath, as an American citizen growing up in this great nation, to protect and defend the Constitution with my life. I never took an oath to protect a man who in fact with spit on the Constitution, and defile the Constitution in his attempt to mass murder Jews and Muslims, in the United States and around the world, and lie about it at the same time, while he does everything he possibly can to steal taxpayer money in his campaign to destroy the world and steal the resources of the Middle East so that he and his white fundamentalist Christian friends and in fact destroy the world and reigned supreme on the world and have everyone else either killed or destroyed. As I’ve said before, it is only a matter of time, before Mr. Bush and those white supremacist fundamentalist Christians who are supporting him, are dragged before the court of these United States, and forced to pay for their crimes against the American people, against United States Constitution and against humanity as well. The United States is in fact, one nation, under God, with liberty, and justice, for all… not just liberty and justice for white supremacist fundamentalist Christians. Furthermore, let us be very clear about this, it was a white supremacist fundamentalist Christian, by the name of Senator John Calhoun, who in 1860, declared to the United States Congress that the white supremacist fundamentalist Christians of the southern states would under no circumstances give up the ownership of black people who they wanted to keep a slaves and to kill whatever they wanted to. And let us also understand that the reparations that were guaranteed the black people the black Americans, in the United States, which was 40 acres and a mule, has never been given to them. In addition to that, but is also understand that the white supremacist fundamentalist Christians have basically murdered almost every single tribe of Native Americans in these United States. Furthermore, the white supremacist fundamentalist Christians have never under any single tree has ever been made with the Native Americans in the history of the United States. Let us also remember that the white supremacist fundamentalist Christians never brought the black Americans to the United States to make them citizens of this great nation, the white supremacist fundamentalist Christians brought the black people to these United States to make them pieces of meat and property that they would hang on meat hooks. And then sell for $10 apiece. It Mr. Bush wants to claim that he the Great American, one wonders exactly why he is claiming that. Mr. Bush has done nothing but lying to the American people repeatedly. He is destroy the Constitution in every way he possibly could. He and his white supremacist fundamentalist Christian Republicans who are now trying to control the government, and they do control the United States Supreme Court, and they do control most of the United States Congress, and they do control the White House, and they do control the media in these United States. These white supremacist fundamentalist Christians, who are Republicans and Mr. Bush, are now desperately trying to destroy the world and to destroy this great nation because they are doing everything they possibly can to destroy the two-party system of this country. Mr. Bush and the white supremacist fundamentalist Christian Republicans who support him do not, under any circumstances, want the United States to be a two-party system. They want the United States to be nothing more than a single party theocracy, and/or a dictatorship, whereby anyone who is not a white fundamentalist Christian will in fact be shot on sight were kicked out of the country. Mr. Bush has never demonstrated not even once, that he is interested in securing peaceful resolution with the Jews, or the Muslims, regarding they are equal rights in the world to exist. Theologically, sociologically, or culturally. And Mr. Bush is continuing to use American soldiers, many against their will, to press them into service, and force them to go and fight a war, that Mr. Bush does not have the courage to fight himself, and that most of the white supremacist fundamentalist Christian Republicans do not have the courage to fight also. And when these brave men and women returned United States, they are routinely denied adequate medical care, leaving many of them homeless and destitute and forgotten and ignored. Furthermore, it is a well-documented fact, that the Bush family, came to the United States after my family, the Maschke family, and that the Bush family. Not only owned slaves prior to the Civil War, but during the Civil War, and after the Civil War. With that kind of legacy, one wonders what type of nation United States has in fact turned into. As I said, I took an oath to defend and protect the Constitution with my life. And the Constitution is very specific here. The Constitution bestows legal rights on only one particular group in this country. We the people. No organization, religious or otherwise, or political, and no business, under any circumstances, has any rights, under the Constitution, in any way, shape, or form. The only way that any group, religious, or political or otherwise, or any business, can in fact have any legal rights under the Constitution is strictly by virtue of the fact that people are the elements, that make up those businesses, and/or organizations. Without people being integral part of those businesses, and/or organizations, no organization, political, religious, or otherwise, and no business, would have any rights under federal law, which is the Constitution of these United States. This is pursuant to article 1 and article 2 of the Constitution. As a result of that, the actions of Mr. Scalia, one of the justices of the Supreme Court, in addition to Mr. Bush, and most of the white supremacist fundamentalist Christian Republicans, are tantamount to subversion of, and sedition against, the Constitution of these United States, which is a treasonable offense. And as I said, it is only a matter of time before Mr. Bush and the white supremacist fundamentalist Christians of the Republican Party and the white supremacist fundamentalist Christians of these United States, are in fact brought before the court and forced to pay for their crimes against the Constitution of these United States, the American people, and humanity. Furthermore, let us be very clear, the United States is not predicated upon the fact that we are all the same. The United States is in fact based upon the fact that we are in fact different, and have different points of view. And it is as a result of our different points of view, embracing the spirit of compromise, whereby we will love this country, and love each other enough, to stand by this great nation, no matter what. Furthermore, the United States is not a Christian nation, it is a nation of laws. The United States is not known throughout the world as a result of Christians acting as neo-Nazi white supremacist thugs. The United States of America is in fact known as a beacon of hope and freedom for the world as a result of one single small piece of paper, the Constitution of these United States. Without that document, the United States then becomes nothing more than a replica of Nazi Germany during World War II. It is up to you the American people, what direction this great nation will in fact take. As I’ve said before, I have extreme terminal conditions which are sharpening my life by the week. I have no agenda. Facing a terminal illness, like I do, and like I am, this Journal and my journals, are merely my way of trying to reach to my own highest good, and to do the greater good for all humanity and all Americans. Whereby my actions will in fact help freedom to move forward. And let’s not forget the words of the great President John F. Kennedy, who said in his inaugural address, A nation they cannot secure and protect the needs of the many who are poor, cannot secure and protect the needs of the few who are wealthy… If Mr. Bush wants to demonstrate himself as a true patriot than he needs to understand that he needs to obey the Constitution and said it repeatedly attempting to destroy it and the two-party system in these United States and to in fact use the taxpayer money of the people of this great nation, illegally, and a war that nobody wants in order for him to continue his campaign of mass murder of Jews and Muslims throughout the world while he attempts to steal all the resources he possibly can, while in the process, helping his white supremacist fundamentalist Christian friends to destroy the entire world rather than to ever allow anyone who’s not a white fundamentalist Christian to ever have any legal rights in this great nation or around the world. It is not I, who is saying these things actually about Mr. Bush, is his own actions were saying these things. And Mr. Bush doesn’t like being perceived in the manner of this particular article. And perhaps he needs to be more honest between himself and God in between himself and the American people and between himself and the world at large. But of course that choice has to be Mr. Bush’s. At this particular juncture, I can tell you from being a constitutionalist which I have been all of my life, that unless things change dramatically, justice Scalia, along with Mr. Bush, and along with his white supremacist fundamentalist Christian Republican Party and those white supremacist fundamentalist Christians who are supporting them and their effort to destroy this nation, will in fact be brought before the court, whether they like it or not, and forced to answer for their crimes against the American people, against the Constitution of these United States, and against humanity. It’s only a matter of time…
