POPSBush personally ordered visit to Ashcroft's Hospital Bed Continued: However, at 6:45 p.m., Card and the President called the hospital and, according to the agent’s notes, “insisted on speaking .” According to the agent’s notes, Mrs. Ashcroft took the call from Card and the President and was informed that Gonzales and Card were coming to the hospital to see Ashcroft regarding a matter involving national security. Jack Goldsmith remembers that after a seriously-ill Ashcroft told Gonzales and Card to follow Comey’s legal advice, Goldsmith seriously thought Ashcroft might actually die right then and there. Ashcroft earns himself a place in the patriot’s pantheon just for that. I truly can’t wait to see how Bush’s presidential library treats this incident.

POPSBombshell (!) in Israeli-USA Spy Network Case
I'm glad this reporter summed up yesterday's revelations (see clip) -- and he did a good job -- because it would have stretched the limits of my own incredulousness to do so. 1. Serious Israeli spying on the USA. (Not accusation. Guy in jail for 12 years; previous cases, guys in jail) 2. These two Israeli lobbyist from AIPAC are facing trial for being involved but real heavy-duty machinations keep getting the trial postponed. 3. Jewish Congresswoman Jane Harmon tells the Jewish Lobby and Israeli agents she will help quash the trial of the two AIPAC lobbyist if they can use their influence to get her nominated to become head of the House Intelligence Committee. 4. This is caught on tap in a legal wiretap that was on the AIPAC accused Israeli spies. 5. AG Gonzales (this was a year ago,Bush president) stops any investigation of Congresswoman Harmon by the NSA in exchange for her supporting Bush era illegal warrantless wiretaping of US citizens. Wow! This can't go on.

POPSVice-President Cheney Indicted in Texas The indictments have started. More should happen once these corrupt men are out of office. This first such indictment also shows how such indictments can be easily done all over the country. In some states even citizens can start a petition for a criminal indictment. (Of course, reasons are needed and a link to a specific injured person or specific crime in that state, etc. are required). The worm has turned. The recent elections were a LANDSLIDE VICTORY for the Democrats, even largest they they could have dreamed. It was a crushing blow to the Republicans and no matter what charade or trash talk they want to continue with, they have been firmly knocked out of all political power in D.C. If folks like us and millions elsewhere who we know care about these issues and have worked hard for this change - just continue to lobby for justice, speak out for the need for war crime & other trials, then these guys won't get away. Justice is needed, or evils thend to happen ag
