Free Money!

Well it looks as if Bush has brought the American Dream to reality for some. Namely the contractors, corruptors, and cronies.

The Bush Wars, as I have stated before, are more about redistribution of national wealth than stealing oil, spreading "Democracy", or liberation of oppressed peoples. True Iraq has trillions of $ worth of oil reserves but this isn't going to make hand picked individuals nearly as rich as billions of unwatched dollars flowing freely on the banks of the Euphrates. See the oil requires we build infrastructure, protect it, and sell it - then of course those pesky Iraqis will want some of their money. Further this would most likely fall under some sort of oversight - where as contracting can be literally "money for nothin" with noone watching. Also, Bush would be unable to control who got their filthy hands on the bloody Iraqi oil funds - not so with contracting - these he hand picks. This is a way to empty the U.S. treasury for decades to come and hand it all to a few Bush/Neocon/Republican faithfuls.

Another point this article brings up is - of all the media in the nation isn't it telling that the alternative media are the folks actually discussing the real issues? Rolling Stone, The Colbert Report, John Stewart, blogs, independent websites, etc. Has this nation entirely flipped it's lid? The air waves belong to the nation not the channels. We should take em back if they are not used as intended - and if this is as intended we need to retool the FCC rules. Revoke all of Fox's air wave access and let them "fair and balanced" all they want online or in print. The same goes for all other propaganda organizations. Why is there no standard for facts anymore? Why is there no way to hold T.V. News to a standard based on factual reporting? [I won't even get into why are Americans so fucking stupid to watch this shit and believe it.]

Anyway I digress, here is an article outlining some of the parts of Grand Theft: National Treasury.
