I need your help, DU, to educate my fellow students about Bush.
From recent events, it has become clear that president George Bush is an incompetent, moronic, greedy man. He takes days to respond to the disaster of hurricane Katrina while people are dying. He appoints one of his fellow repukes who is a horse judge to control FEMA.

His approval ratings are dropping to record lows. 62% of America thinks that Bush should either leave office, or just drop off the world and never be seen again.

However, 32% still think that Bush is worthy to be the president of the United States.

People of Democratic Underground, I need your help.

I am going to silently protest. To keep this secret from my mother, I will not tell what it is exactly what I am going to do.

What I need is a good bunch of news sources and replies stating how Bush is connected to 911. His connections to the Saudi royal family, and Saudi Arabia is where a bunch of the hijackers came from... stuff like that.

I will summarize the results... and then begin my little... protest.

Thank you.

MiniMandaRuth

2. Eh. To the rest of America.
To Jesusland, however, it is still a little... foggy.

I've seen F911. That would be a good place to start from.

9. why hide this from mom?
Protest is about getting a message across to people that do not/will not see reality.

11. Mom already knowns about Bush.

13. right on
Sorry if I came off as snide
If mom's already here, I'm sure she could help. Change will not happen with one small voice. It can only happen with organization of the masses.

14. Lots of stuff here . . .
. . . below -- but first, pls tell me how old are you? And what exactly are you proposing to do, and why should it be secret from your mother?

If you are proposing to do anything risky, I urge you to first PLEASE talk about it with others whose judgment you trust.

Sorry if I'm overreacting, but something about the way you worded your post gives me concern.

Second, I'd like to mention that I don't see Bush as the cause of our problems, but just as a figurehead. The ones who worry me are those with the brains and $$$ who are really running the show. Bush can take the fall and leave the way clear for the next Repub. candidate in 2008, and if that candidate wins, the same behind-the-scenes folks will still be running things. For various reasons, it's almost more impt. to me that we get a house-cleaning of Congress in 2006.

All that said, here are a couple of interesting recent posts plus some more general sources:

4 Hijack Suspects Alive and Well

Somehow Ashcroft's team "miraculously" recovered passports and identification of these so-called hijackers. How paper is going to survive the front of an aircraft plowing into a building I will never know. Four of these so-called "hijackers" have been found to be alive...that means that the whole story about 19 hijackers is nothing but a lie.

Senate Testimony: Agent To Reveal Neo-Con Coverup of Atta ID Wed. 9:30 AM! UPDATE II
by Sherlock Google
Sat Sep 17th, 2005 at 11:02:43 PDT
(Note, as I understand, there was a special intelligence team or program called Able Danger that had amassed a huge amount of info about Al Qaeda, including identifying a number of suspects in the U.S. who were later involved in 9-11. Allegations are pending that neo-cons acted to keep this info from reaching Richard Clarke or Clinton. The Able Danger program was terminated by the Bush Admin. shortly after Bush first took office.)

"We were directed to take those 3M yellow stickers and place them over the faces of Atta and the other terrorists and pretend they didn't exist," the intelligence officer told GSN."

The Right Wing is trying to lay Able Danger dropping the ball on Atta at the feet of Bill Clinton, but as I theorized before it was actually a secret cell of neo-cons in the Pentagon (left over from the Bush I Administration) who blocked the ID of Atta from ever going to the FBI and thus Clarke and Clinton.  The neo-con brass (the same men who were promoted heavily later by Bush II) even told the AD team to put yellow sticky pads over the photos and names of Atta and the Gang when giving a briefing!!
Now there is going to be Congressional testimony from Able Danger team members on the Atta info, and why all the information on the terrorists was destroyed--classified info actually destroyed.
Watch the Senate Judiciary Committee next week.
(Much more at link above)

And then of course there's tons of stuff in the DU 9/11 forum, which is at http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topics&forum=125

. . . and you can turn up a lot of stuff just by googling . . .

A lot of 9-11 stuff is seen as "tin-foilly". That doesn't mean it's not true, but to me it does mean I'd want to stick to the most credible sources of info, so it doesn't backfire and undermine your credibility.

16. Thanks.
I'm not going to go burn down a building or spray-paint something on a wall.

Very non-violent. Very peaceful.

Involves books.
