Irrefutable Evidence

Bush is a Criminal.


Just saw this on VYPH, had to share it with anyone who'll listen! Check out the entire article!


Pulitzer Prize winning author Ron Suskind’s new book “The Way of the World” presents multi-sourced evidence on a number of damning topics surrounding the Iraq war. Apparently, the Bush administration knew that Iraq didn’t posses WMDs before the invasion and even had the CIA fake a letter to create a fictitious link between 9/11 terrorist Mohamed Atta and Sadam Hussein. From the article:

What just happened? Evidence. A secret that has been judiciously kept for five years just spilled out. All of what follows is new, never reported in any way:

The Iraq Intelligence Chief, Tahir Jalil Habbush — a man still carrying a $1 million reward for capture, the Jack of Diamonds in Bush’s famous deck of wanted men — has been America’s secret source on Iraq. Starting in January of 2003, with Blair and Bush watching, his secret reports began to flow to officials on both sides of the Atlantic, saying that there were no WMD and that Hussein was acting so odd because of fear that the Iranians would find out he was a toothless tiger. The U.S. deep-sixed the intelligence report in February, “resettled” Habbush to a safe house in Jordan during the invasion and then paid him $5 million in what could only be considered hush money.

Read the whole thing here.

To many people this may come as no surprise, but the legal ramifications of this are huge. It means that there is now undeniable evidence that the administration inappropriately used a government agency (the CIA) to promote its own agenda. This is illegal and impeachable. From the Article “The mission [creating the Habbush letter] is a statutory violation of the charter of the CIA, and amendments added in 1991, prohibiting the CIA from conducting disinformation campaigns on U.S. soil.”

Please forward this article on to your friends and family. Impeachment proceedings would go a long way to showing that the rule of law actually runs this country and that no one is above it. Sign the petition to impeach Bush http://www.impeachbush.org/site/PageServer. You can also Sign Dennis Kucinich’s petition here. Write your representative and ask them to support the articles of impeachment. Our Government is meant to be a servant to the people not the other way around - let’s remind it.



Perhaps I should've written a better forward and actually exert the effort to create an original post, but I'm exhausted from two and a half days of moving and I'm runnin on two cups of coffee and five hours of sleep, and now I'm at work. So, sorry guys, I hope this is creative commons stuff!

MAPS!!!

This one goes out to Wolf King, Ser Rosby, and WorthEarth!


I, of course, have a deep appreciation/obsession with George R. R. Martin's epic A Song of Ice and Fire, in keeping with that, I feel it is my duty to give you a compilation of links/sites with the maps of Westeros and the various lands of ASoIaF. I have drawn from a couple of my favorite sites(TotH, westeros.org's Citadel, ASoIaForum) and give all credit to the original artists. So, without further ado, I give you. . .
