I don't understand the point of repeatedly bringing up how bad the Executive Branch of our government is. General elections are only 5 months away and we'll have a wonderful new President to fix all this! Ah, yes, GO OBAMA! He's our new hero! ........I'm already putting some money in savings so I can pay the taxes he is sure to raise. I'm studying up on my Spanish so I can talk to the illegal immigrants sure to flood our borders after amnesty is granted to those already here. I'm also TRYING real hard to figure out what other CHANGES I'll need to adjust to because Mr. B. Hussein Obama won't elaborate! Maybe Obama can restore all the freedoms I've lost under the Bush/Cheney Regime. God knows that additional 20-40 minute wait at the airport is really infringing upon my freedoms. Oh well......at least I got my guns!........er....wait a minute!

[Autobiographer’s note, the word, ‘anti-Christ’, is substituted for LaRouche’s, ‘Synarchist’. By ‘anti-Christ, we mean anti-Christian, anti-Jewish, anti-Muslim, anti-Buddhist behavior.]
“In 1962, came the Cuban missile crisis … in 1963, the assassination of President John F. Kennedy at the hands of the anti-Christ Permindex assassination bureau …the escalation of the Vietnam War in the wake of the staged Tonkin Gulf ‘attacks’, in 1964. These events strengthened the hand of the anti-Christs, who seized power in Washington in the wake of 9/11 under the guise of fighting terrorism, launching an assault on the Constitution and the public purse.
“Chief among the anti-Christs in Washington is Vice President Dick Cheney, whose relationship with Halliburton exemplifies military-industrial relationships President Eisenhower warned against. In 1991, while he was Secretary of Defense in the first Bush Administration, Cheney hired Halliburton’s Brown & Root subsidiary to do a study on the privatization of military logistics operations. This study established Logistics Civil Augmentation Program, which gave its first general contract to … Brown & Root.
“At the time, Cheney and Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Paul Wolfowitz, were pushing for wars against smaller, resource-rich nations, including the use of ‘low-yield’ nuclear weapons. When George H.W. Bush left office in January 1993, Cheney spent time at neo-conservative American Enterprise Institute …then, in 1995 joined Halliburton as president and chief executive. Cheney added, ‘chairman’, to his titles in 1996, and ran the company until August 2000, stepping down to run for Vice President. During that 1995-2000 period, one dollar of every seven spent by the Pentagon, passed through what is now. Kellogg, Brown & Root.
[Autobiographer’s note, Brown & Root enjoyed a special military-industrial contract reward relationship with Lyndon Johnson from when Johnson was a Senator in the late 1940s, before, during and after JFK … with the Suite 8F Group ... whom I consider a major player in the assassination of JFK]
“At the time Cheney hired Halliburton to do the privatization study, Halliburton was hardly a disinterested party. The company was already a major defense contractor through Brown & Root and had significant military and intelligence connections.
“With its flurry of construction contracts in Iraq, Halliburton is in many respects depending upon Dick Cheney for its survival … LaRouche has dubbed Halliburton, ‘The Greater Hermann Göring Werke of Houston’. It’s been clear for some time that Vice President Cheney has been acting as an agent for the international anti-Christ movement, which was founded as the oligarchy’s counterattack to the American Revolution and the principles upon which America was founded.
Cheney and Halliburton have been rightly attacked for the company’s war profiteering.
such as Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle, et al.,
The Vice President and his neo-con alliesagents of a dark power
arethe Constitution, in favor of a global bankers’ dictatorship. This same oligarchic power,
[committed to eliminating the principles espoused in the Declaration of Independence and
acting through merchant banks like Lazard Frères, Rothschild and other financial institutions, controls a large swath of Wall Street and corporate America, including Halliburton.
“Halliburton’s power does not flow from Cheney …but from Cheney's backers, the anti-Christ bankers. Cheney’s policy toward the people of Iraq is the same as Göring’s policy toward the people in the Nazi work camps. Arbeit Macht Frei … Work Makes You Free … read the sign over the entrance to Auschwitz. It was an example of Göring’s ‘big lie’ tactic in action.rings false … Hermann Göring would be proud.
The Cheney cabal’s comment, we must accept police-state tactics in our own nation and pre-emptive strikes against other nations in the name of freedom,
“Halliburton traces its roots to Erle P. Halliburton, a pioneer in the techniques of cementing well bores, who founded the company in 1919.In 1961, after a series of acquisitions, the company moved its headquarters from Duncan Oklahoma to Dallas Texas.
In 1924, Halliburton was incorporated with significant investments by seven major oil companies, and Halliburton trucks became common sights in the oil patch.
In 1962, Halliburton bought Brown & Root, the giant Houston-based construction company. Brown & Root had also been founded in 1919, by Herman Brown and Dan Root, with Herman’s brother George Brown coming in a few years later. Brown & Root started out paving roads and building bridges in rural Texas, and in 1940 got the contract to build the Corpus Christi Naval Air Station. It built pipelines and ships during World War II, and in 1961 won the planning contract for the Manned Space Center in Houston. When Herman Brown died in 1962, George Brown sold the company to Halliburton to avoid a hostile takeover, though he remained as company chairman. He died in 1983.
“In 1998, Halliburton made another major purchase, acquiring Dresser Industries for 7.7 billion dollars. Dresser was founded by Solomon Dresser in 1880 … taken over in 1928 by W.H. Harriman & Company, the investment bank owned by the descendants of railroad magnate E.H. Harriman, himself a front for the British Royal Family.
“Under Averell and Roland Harriman, Dresser was a Skull & Bones shop, whose board included Bonesman and presidential father and grandfather Prescott Bush. Both Roland Harriman and Prescott Bush were directors of Union Banking Corp. when it was raided by Federal agents in 1942, under the Trading With the Enemy Act, for its dealings on behalf of Nazi Germany.
Dick Cheney, who made the deal, is not a Bonesman himself, having dropped out of Yale in his sophomore year … but the Skull & Bones roster contains at least nine Cheneys, more than nearly any other family.
“Also with Dresser, came construction company M.W. Kellogg, which was merged into Brown & Root to form Kellogg, Brown & Root,” John Hoefle, of Lyndon LaRouche’s, Executive Intelligence Review, said.

If Bush is impeached, then Cheney will be president. He'll have Obama and McCain and Clinton assassinated then proceed to kill the rest of us because he can ... you think? And, keep himself busy nuking other countries and releasing biowarfare all over the Earth.
[edit on 10-6-2008 by counterterrorist]
You are incorrect and as stated before in this thread if Bush is impeached Cheney will only be in power until the next elections take place. Which is only a few months away. You should research things before starting a thread.
If Bush is impeached, then Cheney will be president. He'll have Obama and McCain and Clinton assassinated.

In subsequent replies I say that he would also do a nuclear provocation through a third country, and declare martial law. That would be good for at least 8 years, maybe 12.
An American President, should he need them, possesses awesome powers. Those powers potentially include what political scientists have described as the powers of a "constitutional dictatorship." No President has ever had to go that far - although they have come close.
In fact, there are now in effect four presidentially proclaimed states of national emergency: In addition to the national emergency declared by President Roosevelt in 1933, there are also the national emergency proclaimed by President Truman on December 16, 1950, during the Korean conflict, and the states of national emergency declared by President Nixon on March 23, 1970, and August 15, 1971.
"Since March 9, 1933, the United States has been in a state of declared national emergency.
These proclamations give force to 470 provisions of Federal law [hundreds more since 1973, particularly in the Clinton administration since Jan 21, 1993]. These hundreds of statutes delegate to the President extraordinary powers, ordinarily exercised by the Congress, which affect the lives of American citizens in a host of all-encompassing manners. This vast range of powers, taken together, confer enough authority to rule the country without reference to normal Constitutional processes.
Under the powers delegated by these statutes,
the President may: seize property; organize and control the means of production; seize commodities; assign military forces abroad; institute martial law; seize and control all transportation and communication; regulate the operation of private enterprise; restrict travel; and, in a plethora of particular ways, control the lives of all American citizens."

they have been unable to activate those provisions since they require a formal declaration of war to be enacted, which we have never had for Iraq.
The International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) is a United States federal law allowing U.S. Presidents to identify any unusual extraordinary threat that originates outside the United States and to confiscate property and prohibit transactions in response. In the United States Code the IEEPA is Title 50, sections 1701-1707.
Federal law provides a variety of powers for the President to use in response to crisis, exigency, or emergency circumstances threatening the nation. Moreover, theya re not limited to military or war situations.
In the simplest understanding of the term, the dictionary defines an emergency as “an unforeseen combination of circumstances or the resulting state that calls for immediate action.”10
There are perhaps at least four aspects of an emergency condition. The first is its temporal character: an emergency is sudden, unforeseen, and of unknown duration. The second is its potential gravity: an emergency is dangerous and threatening to life and well-being. The third, in terms of governmental role and authority, is the matter
of perception: who discerns this phenomenon? The Constitution may be guiding on this question, but not always conclusive. Fourth, there is the element of response: by definition, an emergency requires immediate action, but is, as well, unanticipated and, therefore, as Corwin notes, cannot always be “dealt with according to rule.”
Table 1. Declared National Emergencies, 1976-2001
Despite the president's occasional contempt for the law, THREAT LEVEL doesn't believe that he's going to declare a state of emergency and cancel the 2008 election. But in July, we filed some FOIA requests anyway. We asked five Justice Department offices for documents produced or revised after August 2001 "addressing the feasibility, advisability or lawfulness of deferring, rescheduling or canceling a U.S. national election."
