Who doesn't believe the Republicans are assisting in a cover-up?
With reference to the NSA, Rockefeller said the following:

“As one of the few members of Congress who have been briefed on this program, I can honestly say the worst mistake we could make at this juncture is to legislate or attempt to amend FISA without having all the facts.”

We can either deduce that the Republicans are eager to pass legislation in order to bury the facts because they want to help the Bush Administration cover-up their criminal behavior, or we can believe they sincerely don't think this warrants a second gander. Realistically, who here doesn't believes that the Republicans in Congress aren't part of a large cover-up operation? And if not why don't you think so?

3. It doesn't matter why they do it, they're still part of a conspiracy.
At some point, they will be held accountable because this is so blatant.

4. That's what is so odd. This one is so obvious, you just have to wonder
how they think they're going to get away with it? You know they're going to lose the next election over this, so what they're trying to cover-up must be far worse than we can imagine.

11. They are banking on Diebold
Believe it or don't believe it. Sooner or later people are going to have to recognize that's the only answer that makes sense.

5. Patriot Act promotes NSA surveillance on many levels
Section 212 — Permits Internet service providers and other electronic communication and remote computing service providers to hand over records and e-mails to federal officials in emergency situations.

Section 202 — Gives federal officials the authority to intercept wire, spoken and electronic communications relating to computer fraud and abuse offenses.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11716330/

There's even a proviso in there about over the counter cough medicines. I realize that
meth is a problem but what does it have to do with terrorism. By making this a catchall,
it will back it easier to spy on everyone at all times. Exactly what constitutes an emergency which would allow them free access to everyone's bank records.

Las Vegas Mayor Oscar B. Goodman loves to remind visitors of Sin City's oh-so-discreet tagline: "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas." But since the New Year's celebrations ringing in 2004, he has had to modify the motto. Fearing a terrorist attack, the FBI descended on casinos, car rental agencies, storage warehouses, and other Las Vegas businesses with sheaves of "national security letters" demanding financial records covering about 1 million revelers. Startled business owners who questioned the action were told they had one choice: cough up their documents or wind up in court.

6. A Conspiracy is Being Exposed
bit by bit...

Monica, Katrina, 9-11, Medicare, SS, Public Ed, Nuclear Proliferation, Iraq, Supreme Court Nominees, K-Street, Abramoff, Delay, Texas Redistricting, Tow Stolen Presidential elections, Bin Laden Family connection, Plame, now this...

It's not just a pattern. It's a conspiracy, a RIGHT WING conspiracy.

10. Hillary was very right
This conspiracy is probably more deep than we realize. The stench of this administration is so strong you couldn't cut it with a chainsaw.

We're like France, allowing the Germans to take over.

16. THEY ARE!
IMCPO, for them to legalize illegal spying on US citizens, cements the the fact they OWN THE EVOTING MACHINES AND ARE NOT CONCERNED ABOUT LOSING JACK SHIT IN NOVEMEBER '06 OR NOVEMBER '08 and they KNOW they will NEVER be investigated!. WE-ARE-SCREWED and our DEMOCRATS let it happen by doing NOTHING about evoting machine for the last 5+ YEARS.

18. Many here know it,
try to get the media to address it properly or the masses to see it though, that's the tough part.

19. NWO
Edited on Wed Mar-08-06 11:24 AM by Ufomammut
It's not in the interest of the "media" to undermine its owners by reporting on their treasonous crimes against humanity. However, you're fooling yourself if you can't acknowledge that this plot couldn't have unfolded without the cooperation of many top level people, including dems/DINOs.

None of the evil shit that's happened will ever be exposed within the mainstream and/or legal system..it's all over here except for the next inevitable "terrorist" attack that our own government and military will stage in order to permanently quell all opposition. When they begin rounding up Muslim Americans into those concentration camps that K.R.B./Halliburton just got three-hundred eighty five billion to make, you'll see the true nature of the NSA spying program put to use, and many skeptics, dissidents and lefties will "disappear" in the sweeps.

The real dilemma on the "left" is - or, really, anyone who is still sane enough, not brainwashed enough, to clearly see what's unfolding before their eyes - is what's called in psychological terms, "avoidance;" the truth is too harsh, so they deny the obvious even though all of the signs and facts are directly in front of them. Never underestimate the power of denial.

The right wing movement is grounded in psychological "projection;" they impute to others they necessarily demonize as "enemies" that which they themselves are most guilty of, and on an unconscious level, most fearful of.

For example, they accuse the "left" of being "hateful" when it's usually a person who aligns themselves with right wing talking points that attack and "project," while someone else reacts to their venom spewing, at which point the "righty" will immediately point a finger, exclaiming the other is being "hateful." This is why one of their major talking points is to accuse any of their "enemies" as relying on "emotion to determine their views instead of facts." Again, it's all projective.

Yes, there are many conspiracies underway, and approaching them from a logical position of institutional analysis is important. However, what everyone really needs to understand are the psychological dynamics of the collective consciousness, the psychic damage and deception at work here on a mass level, all being orchestrated from the top down, and then reinforced among the populace who police themselves and the herd. That's what the sickness of power does: it seeks only to make everything and everyone appear, think, believe and value as it does. Then it's one, then it's won, and has no more "enemies."

21. It's a Republican controlled congress, and as long as it's a Republican
controlled congress, you really can't blame the DINOS on something that can be achieved whether the Dems vote as a group or not.

23. To an extent only
There's much bigger "plans" for "globalizatiion" than what's on the radar of most people who identify themselves with the democratic party.

24. No question. And you can tell who they are whenever they refuse
to vote with the Dems on an issue which can be overturned if they work as a group.
