Kill Kimmitt for this. Kimmitt pushes American GIs to
die as thieving terrorists, who instead of arresting bad
guys, bomb homes of innocent families, while refusing to
go after those nazi bush bitches in the Berg film who
are whitey overweight slobs with towels on their heads.
American soldiers should be demanding by Johnny Wizard
decree, that all individuals between here, and the "FBI"
interrogation video tape of Nick Berg being questioned
prior to his execution, who stand in freedom's way, be
arrested, or executed as the enemy. Like those
terrorists too, responsible for robbing Iraq's Central

/ / What's the upshot of the BearingPoint Plan? Iraq's
economy and all of its resources are ripped open to
foreign control. The U.S. corporations whose
executives participated in the drive for war and that
have already reaped billions of dollars in post war
profits and reconstruction contracts, could own every
business, do all of the work and send all of their money
home. Nothing need be reinvested in the Iraqi economy,
no Iraqi need be hired, no public services need be
guaranteed nor the rights of workers protected, and no
resources need stay in the country. \ \


We must hunt down the bush bitches who are presently
departing with the billions of stolen American People
dollars that not so mysteriously went vanishing, or, the
bush bitches who as usual, freely admit being God's
enemies, to shooting innocent women and children while
eating plutonium for the richly pleasures of the demon
American cop killing antiChrist continuing, as cowards,
to let rob from their own un-defended families back home
they leave forsaken as the ungodly. A bushite nazi
soldier betrays his very own family with lies of
gallantry, while dying to leave un-arrested, those bush
has termed lawless, labeled by Kimmitt as pro-Iraqi.
Those who torture, steal, rape, and murder the
practically defenseless and innocent. Bush's new
America. Where bush bitch America is to be all left
leaderlessly for the bushite bounty of falling more
innocent gun shot victims. Kill George W. Bush, Condi,
and Donald Rumsfeld for the crimes of 9/11 as a true
American Patriot Soldier would, or die a traitor's death
by not defending your family as a coward just pretending
to be a real man or woman of honor and virtue.

As instead, the evil bushite soldier further stands by
associated to the Lawless traitors who steal to leave
remained, the humanitarian aid that was stolen and paid
through to commi Haliburton. To die warring for
rumsfeld, who while blowing up American GIs with cluster
dud, takes American tax dollars to hire deemed lawless
foreign fighting South African death squad runners, (at
a thousand dollars per each daily) who confess a history
to murdering people just because they were dark skinned
humans. Those racist murdering rumsfeld buddies, would
surely kill a American Negro soldier, as they would an
Iraqi one, no? (Where's Powell on this issue?)


/ / Private contractors covered by the blanket immunity
will also not be prosecuted under US military law. They
will, in effect, be granted a green light to commit
crimes in Iraq with total impunity. \ \


Instead of fighting for American principles, the bushite
lawless traitors murder the innocent to rifle through
the pockets of their fallen victims, true evil is the
bushite cancer. Parasites who, as enemies of God, let
the likes of rapists, or a Negroponte, a Bremer, a
Kimmitt, or a Buford Blount walk within firing range,
and refuse to take out those who intend to allow the
enemies of America, Bush, Condi, Ahmad and Rumsfeld,
escape the 9/11 murder scene back in New York City by
further sacrificing the dumfuk soldiers, dumfuks whom
are lead to be, too weak and stupid to be true blooded
Patriots committed to the cause of liberty and justice
for us all.


Get bushite.


King of America,

For the demon bush Jr, as evil incarnate, this failure

against Saddam, if someone should harm anything of value
that he and his mob were to steal, he'd charge'em up for
crimes against humanity, but not so [apparently] when he
and "sexy" rummy sent in thousands of missiles to
destroy public property. Or land mine cluster duds to
kill leaderless American Patriots, along with tons of
radioactive toxic waste to indiscriminately murder
untold thousands of people for generations. All by the
lawless demon antiChrist so to desecrate the American
dream for everyone, by ungodly stealing our human
values. (instead of going anywhere without restriction
or delay, while granted free access also to national
Iraqi broadcasts to say whatever about current deprived
survival conditions.) See?, as corporate america's
deity, the bushmob isn't accountable to the enslaved
People under his evil tyrannical rule of godless
dictatorship. That's why he is referred in biblical
texts, as the lawless evil enemy of all the People, God,
the Universe, and well... just everything. Humanity is
in dire need of a god send just now, quick! somebody
say someone somewhere said something somewhat similar,
that you, like anyone, would want to be included like
everybody else is too; committed to freedom from
oppression, and to be our own person, like Christ is.
Now, we just need a good King to run around the world

Creation as a Life spokesman. Hmmm? Sure I'm up for it.

/ / The March 6 memo, prepared for Mr Rumsfeld explained
that what may look like torture is not really torture at
all. It states that: if someone "knows that severe
pain will result from his actions, if causing such harm
is not his objective, he lacks the requisite specific
intent even though the defendant did not act in good
faith".


What this means in understandable English is that if a
parent, in his anxiety to know where his son goes after
choir practice, does something that will cause severe
pain to his son, it is only "torture" if the causing of
that severe pain is his objective. If his objective is
something else - such as finding out where his son goes

/ / New York, June 18, 2004--The National Lawyers Guild
calls for the prosecution of President George W. Bush
with a "command responsibility" theory of liability
under the War Crimes Act. Bush can be prosecuted under
the War Crimes Act or the Torture Statute, if he knew or
should have known about the U.S. military's use of
torture and failed to stop or prevent it. A comment in
the President's January 2003 State of the Union Address
contained an implicit admission by Bush that he had
sanctioned the summary execution of many when he said:
"All told, more than 3,000 suspected terrorists have
been arrested in many countries, and many others have
met a different fate." "Let's put it this way," he
continued, "they are no longer a problem for the United
States and our friends and allies." \ \

The June 13 New York Times carried admissions by unnamed

the utterly criminal and murderous character of these
strikes. The Times's sources acknowledged that not one
of these ``precision'' attacks hit an Iraqi political or
military leader and that the US military did not have
any reliable information that the intended victims were
even in the targeted buildings.

A senior military officer told the Times: ``It was all

Again, the evil un-arrested bushites, figure they'll
advocate the pillage, rape and murder of more innocent
people, torturing children, and US men and women of this
world will all be too afraid to hunt them down and kill
them firstly. What real man and woman wouldn't proudly
kill bushite in honor of our holy families, and in
servitude to God's ultimate righteousness regarding the
defense of the innocent? Un-arrested bushite soldiers
who rape and murder women and children are not American

diliberate criminal impropriety as accessories to war
crimes against Sean's humanity? Sacrified by their
purposeful bush whoring censorship, and judicial
inaction regarding American livelihoods being given up
freely in their prosperous names? Bill wants to kill

George W. Bush, Condi, and Rumsfeld, need to be
immediately arrested or executed for near escaping the
crime scenes of 9/11. Warnings came, they, (during
bush's vacation), "TOP SECRETLY" tweaked a, ready to go
planned world war strategy that would start off in
Afghanistan, premised, on not following the crime scene
leads of terrorist offenses that had yet to materialize,
while closing judicial investigations through the lead
up, the follow through, now... they're cooked. The
bushmob didn't want to get arrested those, who in his
name would soon, murder thousands of Americans in New
York City, for that event was saved to put into action
his "top secret" planned invasion. A world war plan
kept secret from those in American government until the
dated documents showed up at MSNBC. Confessed without
choice to MSNBC as "fully implemented" by the White
House, the bushite war crimes plan went underway almost
without hitch. By offering no rational reason that
factually establishes bin Laden's guilt, would GUARANTEE
the invasion of Afghanistan. Again, a planned false
allegation for a terrorist crime that had yet to be
committed. But See?, for, without evidence bush's
america would not be following the crimes scene leads
from the actual real murder scene, and the real culprits
are left to continue un-abated as the un-arrested
enemies of The People in God's trust.

The last thing the demon liar bush secretly wanted, was
to have halted Laden with evidence for the countless
crimes he's left his fingerprints at. For in this
history, we remember, the Taliban ended surrendering
Laden freely without any further answers. BUSH k-n-e-w
BEFORE HAND, if he were to offer any shred of evidence
to the World implicating Laden, the Taliban would
fundamentally fight for Allah like they were going to do
freely under Clinton, and rightly send the suspect away
for trial and sentencing on the commission of crimes
against God in America. But, hell, offering Laden up to
the world stage for a crime he wasn't committed to,
would sure ruin evil bush's war against our freedoms as
justice in this world. For, after following the
evidence, George W. Bush and his partners in crime
would now be behind bars for treason, or publicly
executed after a fair public trial regarding the facts
as they stand uncontended. MSNBC reported that bush had
actually signed the top secret Presidential plans in
their possession to rob and kill God's Great America.
For Bush, Rumsfeld, and Condi, garnered no insight from
"out of the loop" Richard Clarke on the subject of
Laden's terrorist behavior, (last minute not
withstanding) nor conversed the details on waging world
wars on intelligence with Tenet. Nor even,
surprisingly, talked with Armitage.




/ / We can assume, that Armitage received the same
warning reports about an attack as many other persons
did: George Tenet (CIA), Richard Clarke (CSG), Thomas
Pickard (FBI), Dale Watson (FBIHQ) or Henry H. Shelton
(DOD). \ \


Hammurabi tells History to wake up and kill the ungodly
false accuser, George W. Bush for the highest crime of
treason against our entire Universe, and I too, have to
admit, it's a pretty damn good idea to protect ourselves
from needless sacrifice, but for to make the bushmob
even more wealthier than they are as corporate
successes. Killing bush to save the countless innocent
lives of those the bushite liars confess publicly to
target, would be a gift to God un-paralleled in
gratitude for the love of life in which we all truly
share. Think this God asks: What real man of any
nationality, or religion, wouldn't kill a cowardly
bushite who wars defenseless innocent children with
cluster bombs and depleted uranium?, all so the bushmob
can further get away from stealing from their very own
grand parents they leave back home as cowards
undefended?

Interlude

Nick Berg was murdered in a large building with yellow
walls and a cement floor, by overweight white bigots who
of none, don't know the first thing about wearing a
turban, nor, the wise teachings of the Koran. We need
to do an investigation to conclude how many buildings in
Iraq fit those same sized projections witnessed in the
film that match up like Abu Ghraib does, before the evil
bushites go ahead and try destroying the 'sound'
evidence like only the super dummies would, to
ultimately win our favor. George, Son of Mankind here,
look, maybe if you'd just confess to making some bad
judgement calls in our names to devalue the human
species for plunder, while pleading mercy on this Court,
we'll let you live in purgatory for a few thousands

/ / Michigan's Senator Carl Levin asked the CIA
director: "Did the CIA agree with the contents of the
Feith document?" "Senator, we did not clear the
document. We did not agree with the way the data was
characterized in that document." \ \

Wow! The American CIA wasn't buying the bushite lies to
sacrifice the American Gi so to rob further from the
innocent censored either. All told, the death/cost
ratio really sucks for all concerned. Therefor, why
don't all nations of Earth call a temporary truce,
acknowledge our misgivings about each other, but then
openly realize, all people, good and bad, like the
forests and the sky lines, hate the evil war mongering
demon anti-Christ, George Walker Bush more than anything
ever.

The bushites, as thoughtless degenerates, are warring
our humanity's great achievements in universal law,
pretending like, we're not even present as interested
party. Great achievements like freedom through
representation, or demanding evidence to establish
someone's guilt, have been around since the dawn of
civilization; however, today, we instead under the
supreme command of the lawless evil bushite, are
willingly ignoring the actual criminals attempting
escape from the murder scene of 9/11, to greater parts
unknown without ourselves left still falling murdered
from Your inaction. By bush and cheney order, unfinished
criminal investigations were halted regarding the murder
of thousands in America.

Through fear of the awesome intelligence enshrined
within the Declaration of Independence, or the awestruck
genius in the simple blurb, "A Freeman shall not be
imprisoned", our demand as the civilized, is deemed not
relevant or profitable to corporate news America. What
does it profit an American to stand up for a stranger,
the neighbors, a distant cousin, or even sworn blood
brother? To know rotten Rumsfeld is feeding American
troops plutonium, while telling next of kin families
it's harmlessly done for a few thou', is like the dummy
rummy cluster dud killing today, yet another American
soldier paid through by collateral, so, don't worry, go
to sleep, nothings happening here but the death of
America.


/ / Bush, immersed in his own world of plummeting poll
numbers, said, "Would the terrorists who beheaded an
American on camera just be quiet, peaceful citizens if
America had not liberated Iraq?" \ \

Who wouldn't kill the thieving evil bushite to save the
lives of the innocent they victimize for stolen profit I
ask everyone to think for yourself?



Look, I'm a pranking wordsmith of fiction sometimes, but
trust me when I tell you, this life death karma
business?, is truly a serious endeavor bush is taking
you for as innocent sacrifice. Willingly murdering good
People for the evil bushites to profit off, is a
sickness we must remedy, like, now. Every moment that
unjust demon celebrates his contempt for the American
Constitution, is another insult to all the soldiers whom
have died giving their lives in honor for freedom from
the tyranny a bushite professes proudly as the enemy,
America's enemy, Humanity's enemy, and God's duty as
ourselves to bring a more timely demise.


I am, King and lord of Creation.

civilians by the Geneva Conventions and for "outrages upon personal

Nazi bushite enemies ruled under the traitor to America,
lawless war criminal buford "bush bitch" blount.
America has got to double up the effort to preserve your
rights denied under the tyranny of the evil anti-Christ,
corporate america's George W. Bush, if they want to
survive truly as "The People". Freedom without Justice
is like living without being. Demon bush demands by
threat, that evidence no longer be a requirement to
convince us who is evil, or a criminal, and I, John, am
calling his number up. Reality as a property, is of
which to all we share equally. Substantiated
understanding through rational conclusion, formed by our
evidentiary findings, is all we got to go on when
deciding, whom shall be murdered for the crimes of 9/11.
Mr. bush and cheney, they don't want those whom were
accomplices, found out by AMERICAN JUSTICE, and gee,
...I wonder why that might be.. (They both as reported
[MSNBC], urgently struggled to close FBI and CIA
investigations into the matter of thousands [AFFLUENT]
American mass murder victims). If we like the idea of
"Freedom", then we're going for sure need to find those
responsible for transgressing our boundaries quantified
through law conducted so as measured. Top Priority:
Mass Murder. Only barbaric savages, as enemies of
mankind war the Humanity of which is ourselves. The
bushite soldier is ordered to murder indiscriminately
ourselves as innocent victims, and instead of manly
killing their evil bushite commandeer(s), they weakly
target the innocent by cluster bombs, killing their own
brothers and sisters too they praise, completely without
reason as is their unrecognized self betrayal to
America. That they naturally can't see, because they
have no human character. "Growing up" in some southern
bastion of make believe hell, that votes yet again they
claim, to further dismantle the public works system; for
reading is all for the stupid people. The Constitution?
Declaration of Independence? comic books? All trash a
bush supporter once told me of everything under the sun
in public Usenet discussions, or the entire Internet for
that matter. One out a seven in America is a functional
illiterate, which is just about bush's entire
constabulary, that if knew better, would be the first
ones to vote for impeachment, trial, then,..dream on.
The bushite is led as enemies of America, against the
Constitution once held rightly dear. Held dear to the
American soldier of old, not like the thieving sadistic
coward and bushite betrayer of today, absent the Army
Code, or as in present throughout, the Marine's Handbook
on Leadership. Today, American Chivalry is blindly led
through Donald "how dare they ask for evidence to
substantiate my allegations for killing whomever"
Rumsfeld, Kimmit, and the never forgotten bomb wherever
killer of women and children, Sir Franks. A performing
"Knight" [not real] he proclaims publicly to all,
including the wise wealthy spindlers of "magic" some
said, but were the art at living to bring Justice for
the innocent as victimized. The victimized impoverished
from a savage land chained by the tyranny of fools,
through the veils of a.... George W. Bush!! Evil
incarnate! The most despicable excuse for humans
suffering ever surmised by real understanding.

Wow! Why don't you just take a bow for US already!

/ / Add it all up, and the bill comes to nearly $4,000
per household, not including interest. "I wonder how
people would react if they got a bill from Washington
for that amount," he said. \ \

A bill based on murdering US innocent folks, so the
bushmob's bushite slaves, as traitors to America, can
steal even further from our distant Iraqi brothers and
sisters left destitute by our forsaken name. Demon bush
has no rights to any stolen assets, none whatsoever.

Enemies of Humanity shall lose to themselves by us
winning for just ordered chaos. The intelligence of
believing to surmiss, by golly good god we exist as
truly a miracle. Wow!, we could be simply something
fantastic if we had the will to make life something
greater for everyone included. Doing God a favor. What
pleasure could be greater giving back what you so most
treasure? Think of me doing this as King for investment
on continuing towards a better fortune. I don't ask for
your faith as bush demands you for himself, but ask you
to only find faith in youself as an equal unto Heaven,
and try to form your conclusions by not concluding so
much without any understanding at all. Sugestion:
don't be so suggestable., and think about supporting the
re-start of the American 9/11 police investigations by
firstly, arresting bush and rumsfeld immediately, for
the evilest of high treasons in America., America, the
native home land of a freedom plan never lost to the
tide of political indifference through tech-know
corporate media bias. The driving will for me to
succeed towards a better future, is the freedom as being
committed to Justice indivisable. Ultimately, Justice
for You, means Justice for me, even if you don't
understand as much.

might be because the executive director of the

he attended the same presidential briefings on terror
that the commission is now "investigating."

"It is now apparent why there has been so little effort
to assign individual culpability. We now can see that
trail would lead directly to the staff director
himself." \ \


Maybe we need to ask Philip Zelikow what he knew of the
