what if GAY PORN and The White House become co-related

[nashville_brook]

Randi Rhodes points out today that a GOP thug, who has been greasing up Scotty McClellan for months, has been forced to publicly resign from a FAKE NEWS organization (not The Daily Show) that has DIRECT ACCESS TO THE PRESIDENT! Jeff Gannon (not his real name) is also known as one of the *reporters* fed the Valerie Plame leak from the White House. At a time when innocent people are being rounded up by the dozens under the Patriot Act, as Enemy Combatants and put away without counsel, without charge -- this bastard participated in outing one of our few deep assets working on Weapons of Mass Destruction in the Middle East. That is treason. But if it's treason, and Gannon was clearly working for Rove -- then what do we have?



You can have it any way you want, apparently.

In what has to be recognized as this century's most obsequious moment, Gannon penned an editorial on Bush's famous 16 Words, called:
">Media Strategy: The Making of George W. Nixon
Here's the lead:
It hasn’t been called “Intelligence-gate” yet, but it won’t be long before somebody uses the term. The media feeding frenzy over the “16 words” in the President’s State of the Union address continues to overshadow all other news. Despite official explanations, the release of intelligence reports and a White House spokesman calling the implication that the President deliberately misled the nation “nonsense”, it seems that nothing will stop the media’s quest for a pound of flesh. Even the fact that George W. Bush’s statement about Iraq’s attempts to purchase uranium from Africa is “technically accurate” doesn’t seem to be an obstacle for the agenda-driven press corps.

The first thing I noticed about this editorial is that the writer uses double-spaces after the period. That simply isn't done in professional writing either journalism or marketing. My typographic obsessions aside, drink in the self-serving tone of Gannon's voice, knowing what we know today.
Despite official explanations, the release of intelligence reports and a White House spokesman calling the implication that the President deliberately misled the nation “nonsense”, it seems that nothing will stop the media’s quest for a pound of flesh.

Mmmm, flesh.

So, despite the fact that "officials" offered "explanations;"
and "intelligence reports" were "released;"
AND, by golly, "a White House spokesman" said all of this was "nonsense," the reason why these "explanations" are not being taken seriously is because the "press-corps" is "agenda-driven."




This, from a guy on the GOP payroll.

A pattern emerges. Everything these guys accuse anyone else is doing, is exactly what they are doing. This goes a long way to explain why conservative like Gannon are so obsessed with homosexuality and various sexual perversions. Remember when Bush went before the UN after blowing them off to start the war. He went on that bizarre rant about international child porn rings and such. What the hell was that about? I wonder, because now we know Gannon is connected to bunch of gay escort services and porn sites that (get this) specialize in MILITARY themes!

I'm not saying that everyone who supports Bush has psyccho-homosexual tendencies -- but you DO have to choose your friends carefully.

In case you didn't know, there's been plenty of evidence over the years that George himself enjoys a little man love. Kitty Kelley wrote in her last book The Family, of Bush's homosexual relationship, since about puberty, with Victor Ashe (long-time Mayor of Knoxville -- and Repub-hottie). When some in Congress began smelling around in this in 2003, Ashe retired as Knoxville Mayor and was appointed by George W. Bush as the U.S. Ambassador to Poland ("don't forget Poland" as Bush implored during the first debate).

Now think about all the gay tortue themes coming out Iraq. This has baffled me. Why do all the torture stories in homosexual themes? It's always about getting in a room of naked, manly Iraqi men and touching pee pees. And pee-peeing. And wearing women's underwear on their head for the pleasure of cameras, everywhere. Then, they are suffocated under water.

Where are they learning this? here maybe?
http://www.soaw.org/new/" at the School of the Americas?

Back to Gannon. His resume has loser written all over it, complete with pyramid marketing. Basically he's a guy without a past and no name anyone is certain of. That, to me, adds up to criminal. I'm using the Mother Test. He doesn't have a checkable past where you have him working for a company for a known period of time that can be verified. My mother would say he is up to no good. Add to this the gay porn and prostitute service, and you have a thug who I bet you ten dollars, has been involved in shadiness in an organized and powerful fashion.

Finally we may have the key and power to connect all the dots, because Jeff Gannon, I bet again, "earned" his cherry job on the Press Corps as the result of doing someone a "favor." And he has a client list that could be quite incriminating. He wanted the vanity position of being a White House reporter, and the administration was looking for a few fake reporters to call on when the real reporters asked too many hard questions. Questions there might not be an answer for. Questions that, if answered, would be political suicide.

The thing no one expected is for themes of HOMOSEXUALITY and TORTURE and MILITARY-FETISHISM (where the recruit is mostly forced to serve and service the commander) to resonate throughout this story (and this administration), but hey, it does. This is extra creepy because most of these crazy people have read that Left Behind novel and have had the dissociative reaction that we really are living in the ends times. That's why so many conservative Republican men are acting out transgressive homosexual behaviors -- because they believe the world is going to end anyway, and they will be forgiven, and all the guys who gave them blowjobs will still be down here on earth with the rest of the us sinners trying to figure out what to do with all the Christians' ugly clothes.

There's a real live war going on. There's a bad wind blowing. Kali's done stretching, she's winding up for the Thanatotic climax. I know what it's like to wake up irritable, and I'm afraid we are heading for a big shit storm.

Here's my hope. Joe Wilson and Valerie Plame have a civil case against the people who outed her and compromised our national security. Watergate started with the help of a civil suit so sayeth John Dean.
http://archive.salon.com/opinion/feature/2003/10/03/dean/

So far Wilson and Plame haven't been shrinking violets. The way out of our mess right now might be to follow these threads and unravel the beast by it's sweater.

There is only ONE DEGREE OF SEPARATION between Gannon and Rove. That link is Morton Blackwell, famous for handing out the purple bandaids at the "RNC Convention and Round Up" in New York last year. Indicating that veterans awarded the purple heart were really just a bunch of whiners. These band-aids were a big hit at the convention. When people held up blue fingers at the State of the Union signaling victory in the Iraqi vote, all I could think of were the band aids. Memorable.
http://www.pnionline.com/dnblog/extra/archives/001437.html

The White House knew Talon News wasn't real. It's funded by a TEXAN GOP INITIATIVE and these people know where their money is. If we play our cards right, we might just end up with Gannon, Novak, Rove, Cheney, Rumsfeld and Bush all up on treason. It's in there -- it just has to be unravelled carefully.

Here's a list of articles Gannon wrote for Talon News that have since been deleted --

1. Great post!

and I agree that there is more to this - I smell fear from the right on this. Gannon's immediate resignation is a tip-off too.

"trying to figure out what to do with all the Christians' ugly clothes" too funny

[FreepFryer]

2. One for the record books. Great post, and more importantly...

...this entire affair should be a template in netroots (grassroots) journalism and cooperative action.

Each one of us are learning that we must ourselves participate, however we can, to turn back the efforts of these people.

If you believe in the goal, help the investigations. If you live nearby, do footwork. If you are good with stats, do stats. If you're good with people, get the word out. If you're good with words, craft the message. If you're good with compassion, plan the rebuilding of America.

[nashville_brook]

27. NETROOTS -- i really like that image

something for the designers to play with.

[hootinholler]

54. Yep and if you can run a copier or email a pdf...

Look here.

[shadowlight]

3. I have to ask...

Is this their fall guy for the Plame leak?

[nashville_brook]

32. do you mean, "is Gannon the fall guy?"

it does not serve them to have Plame in the dialogue -- but also someone is going to have to take the fall from the inside. Gannon didn't steal the info about Plame -- somene called him with it. probably the same person who made sure he had a seat in the press corps.

[cynatnite]

37. Plame and Gannon question

I'm not sure if I'm understanding this correctly so someone will probably need to educate me.

Did Gannon say that he was called about Plame? If he did say it, then how can we believe him? I mean this is a guy that's so highly unethical that lying wouldn't be a surprise. I don't doubt he's done plenty of it.

Considering all we know so far about him he would make a convenient fall guy for that whole mess.

If he's telling the truth about it, why in the blue blazes isn't he sitting in a cell not just for being part of outing her, but also for lying about who he was to get WH credentials.

Maybe I'm just confused over this entire mess with him.

Whatever the case may be, I do expect this thing to get bigger and turn into more of a headache for the WH.

[nashville_brook]

44. it's my understanding he has been accused of being one of the first it was

leaked to.

[southwood]

4. Whatever this guy's ...

... sexual preferences are, they are his and his alone. They are simply not relevant, just like Clinton's Monica thing was not relevant to us. I don't want to know about it. The left should not "expose" people in this way - that's what makes us different from "them". IT IS NONE OF OUR BUSINESS!

[nashville_brook]

7. that's perhaps the most unfortunate--fortunate thing about this. methinks

doth protest too much. those bastards gay-baited their way to the white house. oh how i would love for that to be what takes them down.

[southwood]

13. Thing is ....

As a European, I simply don't want to to know. I may protest to much, but still. As long as innocents, in particular children, are not involved, I don't want to know about these things. (Actually, I'm over 50, but he does look kind of attractive, and I'm not even gay at all! Don't you think?)

[nashville_brook]

22. that comment wasn't directed at you --rather at the 'universal they"

who 'protest too much' homosexual behavior, ie, gay marriage and all the conservative christian bugaboos that target sexual preference.

you know, the preacher who goes on in his sermon week after week about gays destroying the culture of marriage, who is secretly molesting alter boys. methinks THEY doth protest too much.

not you!

sorry for any misunderstanding!

[thingsarelookingup]

16. hypocrisy reigns

While searching for an article about recent charges against a Repub. senator I ran across a website www.armchairsubversive.com - it lists many, many Republicans being caught in compromising situations. I don't know if it is all true but my husband remembers several of them being in the press. If they are true then the spouting of moral values by that party is a complete joke.

[nashville_brook]

23. such has always been the case -- Candide!

i've always thought the brits really had the market cornered on compromising positions. a few years ago there was a string of stories about conservative party men caught in affairs where their intimate tastes veer toward infantile behavior and such.

so much more colorful than interns!

[me b zola]

14. Maybe not

When the story first began to break, guy using a pen name lobbing softballs combined with reichwing talking points during WH press briefings, the hair on the back of my neck stood at attention. I wondered , then, if he was more than a paid for pundit (propaganda pusher). The word spook kept entering my mind.

Any military personnel engaging in homosexual activity is violating the UCMJ, under penalty of a dishonorable discharge,min.,or time in the brig,max. What if his activity with gay servicemen was to compile info on military men so that if they ever spoke up their careers & lives would be ruined? It doesn't seem far fetched to me, but it does seem like a natural extension of the work he was/is doing for the BFEE.

All I am saying that he has smelled like a spook from the first time I have heard of him, and the stench is getting stronger.

All the more reason to continue to fight for gay rights, within the military & beyond. A person's sexual practices should not be able to be used against them-----and in this I mean our military men & women.

[nashville_brook]

24. my intuition exactly! and remember Armstrong Williams was also involved

in a homosexual scandal.

and yes indeed he seems like a spook!


but the sexual stuff is being brought up because these guys have crusaded against gay rights. it's their hypocrisy and it's the mightiest sword that we can use against them to their own constituents.

[me b zola]

30. Sword to use against their own constituents...

Indeed!!! Not only would someone not come forward about criminal behavior, but given the "morality" driven agenda<cough,puke> a person would be highly motivated to participate in illegal activity themselves. What better way to recruit an "army" of minions! Create a homophobic, religious fundamentalist environment. Now set snares to entrap people into situations that would compromise their family, career, and social lives. Instant minion.

This is dangerous stuff. How to awaken the sleeping sheep?

[nashville_brook]

40. there's a dispicle movement in many churches

that focuses on sexual mandates. like skull and bones, people are "tapped" into the fold and then asked to publically air all their "sins." next the "disciples" are encouraged to remove themselves from the "fallen world" and devote themselves entirely to purity. thing is, purity with the group is an elastic term. "disciples" are often encouraged to engage in forbidden behavior within the group which serves to KEEP the disciple in the group.

nasty cycle.

[ultraist]

57. Many people, including gays, believe gays like him SHOULD be outted

It's a matter of hypocrisy. If someone can associate themselves with homophobic policies and they are gay, they should be outted.

[BigBearJohn]

5. Utterly amazing story

Thanks for posting.

[understandinglife]

6. How did the Secret Service allow a guy with a phoney name gain...

.....access to the President of the United States an numerous other government officials?

Just start with that question. Move to the Plame connection. Ask exactly what his relationship(s) with Rove, Gonzales, Card, ....., are?

You are now looking at Bu$h's "Bernard Barker, Virgilio González, Eugenio Martínez, James W. McCord, Jr. and Frank Sturgis" all rolled into one stinking pile of human scum whose real name we may not yet know.

Peace.


TBO;24/7

[understandinglife]

12. Emailed KO and asked him to ask just that one question; it's straight...

....downhill after that. No way a guy with an alias and that kind of background was roaming around the WH without one or more very senior WH staff folk interceding with the SS.

Peace.


TBO;24/7

[nashville_brook]

53. that's what i love about this story

if it's armstrong williams taking money from rove, it's shame on armstrong


if gannon is a white house plant, it's shame on the white house.

[SaveAmerica]

8. "I know that gay porn and the white house can coexist peacefully"

[nashville_brook]

33. you personally, or is that a quote?

it might be a haiku

[Catamount]

9. He was due to meet with Randi today .....

or that's what I thought I heard, but because he wouldn't give her a proper bio, she opted out.
What can we do with all this accumulation of crap to expose the * admin?
MSM doesn't seem to care, or is afraid to even think about anything important these days.
I fear we're running out of time.

[nashville_brook]

10. this is news that can only be had on Narrowcast -- out here in the

wilderness. it's kinda Pynchon when you think about it.

[skids]

34. Well, even so...

...Randi may end up having to take back that "man date" comment :-)

Gannon/Guckert is out

Wed Feb 9th, 2005 at 09:00:58 PST

He quit.
Just talked to Kurtz about it. Told him that while the hypocrisy angle was fun, the bigger issue was about having a partisan plant using a fake name in the White House press corps.

Talon News will try to insert someone else in there, and we should be ready to pounce. Until then, McClellan will have to do without his lifeline.

Update: John Aravosis writes:

Why did Talon News, Gannon's former employer, just remove a SLEW of articles from their archives? Gannon's stories, and other stories on gay issues that weren't even by him, are now all gone? Were those OTHER bylines HIS as well?

Plame & Propagannon: Joe Wilson Speaks Out
by SusanG
Wed Feb 9th, 2005 at 08:45:52 PST

(From the diaries -- kos )
Yes, Kossacks, while you all were out linking to military porn sites and fraternity house pages and checking out friendster (you sordid crew, you), I've been spending my past few days in a leisurely, wide-ranging email discussion with Ambassador Joseph Wilson, asking him the questions we've all been dying to ask him.

Now did I get the better deal, or what?

Mr. Wilson has been incredibly gracious and generous with his time, and we are deeply indebted to him as a community for the insight he's offering us into our research into Gannon, Talon News and propaganda. He's a Daily Kos reader, and while not a registered user, is willing to answer additional questions we may have; I'll compile them from this thread, forward them to him and post a follow-up diary.

So without further ado, the incredible truth-speaker, Mr. Wilson:

How did the interview with Gannon come about, given that it was a small-time conservative news outlet?

Gannon called me and identified himself as the White House Correspondent from Talon News, a conservative news organization. He wanted to do a wide-ranging interview on my position on the war as well as the Niger mission and the leak.

While I had never heard his name or the name of his organization before, I was happy to do it. I have long felt that it is readers and viewers of conservative media who could benefit from a more balanced discussion of what is at stake in our policy and the actions of our government. At one point I recall Gannon as saying he was a traditional conservative (distinguishing himself from the neoconservatives, who in my judgement have totally captured our foreign policy). Speaking to the Times and other mainstream media is fine but those readers and viewers are generally better informed and often of the same perspective. It is those on the other side to whom we need to address the issues even more than to those with whom we already share views.

Did you enter the interview fearful of "landmines" being set by the other side?

I never thought that I had anything to fear from landmines. I told the truth from the beginning. There was never anything to hide.

Were you struck immediately during the course of the interview by the fact that he discussed the internal memo?

As to the memo, I knew nothing about it other than a Post journalist had told me there was one circulating which he characterized as having been written by somebody who was not at the meeting where I was asked if I would be willing to go to Niger. The fact is Valerie was not at that meeting. Neither she nor I had any ulterior motive in this. It was not until almost six months later that I began to speak out on the war question and even when I did, I always believed that WMD was a legitimate reason to be tough on Saddam. The trip to Niger is only relevant because of the 16 words and the fact that the only evidence to support the yellowcake charge the US turned over to the IAEA (as they were required by Article 10 of USUN 1441) were those forged documents relating to Niger. The only information the British apparently shared with the IAEA was a trip to the region by an Iraqi diplomat a couple of years previously. As it turned out, the CIA had told both the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and the White House almost four months before the State of the Union address that it believed the British had "stretched" or "exaggerated" the yellowcake allegation. All of that was in the Senate report but unfortunately, was overlooked by the mainstream media.

Back to the memo, when Gannon mentioned it to me, I told him I knew nothing about it but
repeated that my wife was not at the meeting at which the subject of a trip to Niger was broached with me. I may have mentioned that I had heard that there was a memo out there but had no other knowledge about it. I still don't.

Are you comfortable letting it be known that you've spoken with me?

[FreepFryer]

15. What about the Foot Behind the Talon?

Read my post at http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x3082173

[bush_is_wacko]

17. You know, I've been looking for a connection like this for a while.

GHWB allowed male child prostitutes said to be orphans into the WH late for late night tours! I can provide links to this story but I think most here have seen them. Anyway, I get the feeling there is a GREAT deal to this that we have yet to discover and it is driving me crazy that no one seems to be able to dig up ENOUGH but there is ALWAYS something there.

Do you think it is possible that GWB has an unconscious desire to expose his family for what they are?

[nashville_brook]

21. if you are asking me -- i would have to say, "yes"

i think W has a deep narcissistic/inferiority complex that has historically been aimed at and caused by his father. i think the desire to embarrass HW was behind a lot of his drinking and carousing in prep school and later at Yale.

Washington, DC - Rep. Louise M. Slaughter (NY-28), long time champion of media reform and Ranking Member of the House Committee on Rules,
sent a letter to President George W. Bush today asking him to explain
how discredited "reporter" Jeff Gannon was credentialed as a member
of the legitimate media by the White House.


The letter follows:

Wednesday, February 9, 2005

The Honorable George W. Bush
President of the United States
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
Washington, DC 20500

Dear Mr. President:

In light of the mounting evidence that your Administration has, on
several occasions, paid members of the media to advocate in favor of
Administration policies, I feel compelled to ask you to address a
matter brought to my attention by the Niagara Falls Reporter (article
attached), a local newspaper in my district, regarding James "JD"
Guckert (AKA Jeff Gannon) of Talon News.

According to several credible reports, "Mr. Gannon" has been
repeatedly credentialed as a member of the White House press corps by
your office and has been regularly called upon in White House press
briefings by your Press Secretary Scott McClellan, despite the fact
evidence shows that "Mr. Gannon" is a Republican political operative,
uses a false name, has phony or questionable journalistic
credentials, is known for plagiarizing much of the "news" he reports,
and according to several web reports, may have ties to the promotion
of the prostitution of military personnel.
-SNIP-
I was already concerned about what appears to be an organized
campaign to mask partisan propaganda as legitimate news by your
Administration. That we have now learned this same type of deception
is occurring inside the White House briefing room itself is even more
disturbing.

That is why I am asking you to please explain to the Congress and to
the American people how and why the individual known as "Mr. Gannon"
was repeatedly cleared by your staff to join the legitimate White
House press corps?

Mr. President, your Administration has driven the so-called "values"
debate in this country. But the most important value for those of us
in public service should always be honesty and integrity,
particularly when considering the manner in which we conduct our
affairs of state.

I would appreciate your prompt response on this matter.


Respectfully,

/LMS
Louise M. Slaughter
Ranking Member, House Committee on Rules

29. Oh, I thought it was just Rove who was taken by him...

women I know think * walks like he has a pole up his a*s ,or they dreamed that they were married to Kerry. Bush looks like a dumb smirking hick with big ears and that pseudo accent is really annoying.

47. Frankling Coverup Scandal redux -- here's a page fwiw

http://www.thelawparty.org/FranklinCoverup/franklin.htm


This scandal came and went pretty fast in 1989. I'm posting this just as a reminder that the Gannon allegations are not entirely unique in Bush Family history.

Former Republican Senator John Decamp helped produce a documentary called 'Conspiracy of Silence' it was to air May 3, 1994 on the Discovery Channel covering the scandal. This documentary exposed a network of religious leaders and Washington politicians who flew children to Washington D.C. for sex orgies. At the last minute before airing, unknown congressmen threatened the TV Cable industry with restrictive legislation if this documentary was aired.

Almost immediately, the rights to the documentary were purchased by unknown persons who had ordered all copies destroyed."

Follow the link to read the original newspaper articles and find the online copy of Conspiracy of Silence. It's really bad. I've watched as much as I can. Terrible production and reproduction. Who knows if this story is true? The fact that the Moonie Times broke it might suggest an internal Republican smear campaign. But that's never been proven.

think about all the "bachelors of a certain age" in the Neocon-Theocon movement -- Karl and Condi just being the ones who come to mind quickest.

then think about Brock's experience as a gay man in Blinded By The Right.

now, to my eyes -- most of these folks who object loudest to gay issues have issues of their own. this is common in conservative communities. camoflage with hate.

the thing is, most gay people see right thru it -- again, see the link to the Buzzboard.

In what you copied:

Do you know any journalist who leaves the comma outside the quotes?

56. Or technical...

I'm a programmer, and I often have had to 'correct' writers who insist on putting the punctuation inside the quotes when writing about programs. I have to explain that we are expecting someone to enter the text inside verbatim and the punctuation will cause problems when entered.

61. It is a great post. I know this has probably been mentioned but why is

"Gannon" wearing dog tags around his neck? Was he in the military or is this part of the game?
