While the Democrats have mostly been challenging the Bush administration, it appears they are now beginning to substantively challenge the
Neo-Conservative policies. Congressional Republicans appear to be quietly siding with the Democrats. Most recently, the house of representatives
voted down war funding. On the domestic front, the Senate vote to
block media consolidation.
Rep. Conyers, chairman of the house judiciary committee has
threatened Bush with
impeachment if he attacks Iran without congressional approval. Furthermore, Rep. Conyers
is talking about inherent contempt proceedings against
Bush administration officials who refuse to testify before congress.
Politically, the Republican party has lost
special house
elections. Obama appears set to beat Hillary Clinton, and likely become the next president.
While by themselves, these events may or may not be that significant, together they represent a change of policy in Washington. Along with the
financial troubles, a major power re-alignment or at least reshuffling appears to be taking place. What is happening behind the scenes?
Some are speculating, the Neo-Conservatives may be planning another terrorist attack in the US. 9-11 has faded off, and their fate does not look very
good right now. Although, it is unclear how the American people would react to another attack.
However, for now it appears the fear of the administration is cracking. Whether this course will continue, and what events may be happen remains
unknown. We may learn more about the events behind the scenes.
It appears the
Bilderberg group recently met, and many decisions may have been made there. What
decisions were made there? What is really happening in the world?
