Impeachment! Rejoice!

(substance doesn't matter…)

The rabid right-wing press repeats it like a mantra, seemingly unsure if it is a prayer, a prediction, or just good entertainment.  In many variations (most recently from the fingertips of William Kristol at the New York Post) the line is:

"President Clinton is doomed…"

Meaning, of course, that he is about to be shown the back door of the White House by the Congress, that guardian of the Nation's mores.  The reason?  Because he had affairs with  young women, and lied about it under oath during the most absurd "investigation" ever undertaken by the Republic.  At this, we are supposed to rejoice. 

But wait a minute…

Let's see. Just what do we have here?

• We have a long-term close relationship with CIA sponsored drug-runners and money-laundering operations.

• We have the Nazi-style execution of a religious commune by Government forces ostensibly under the control of the executive branch, and the posturing of the President that amounted to a sickening "blame-the-victim" stance.

• We have the apparent murder of a high-ranking White House official by persons unknown, and its subsequent cover-up.

• We have the well-planned destruction of a government building and concomitant murder of hundreds therein, with the designation of a useful-idiot patsy, but which clearly involved prior knowledge, if not participation, by servants of the executive branch.

• We have the shooting down of a Jumbo airliner, either by US forces, or by Foreign terrorists, with a cover so lame, those same servants of the executive branch can only say "we don't know" what happened, but claim to know for sure that it was not a bomb or missile.

• In each of these cases, we have the overt intimidation of anyone who dares note with any success at all that the Emperor has no clothes.

Yet we are supposed to rejoice that the President may fall because of a string of dalliances, and the fact that he lied about things nobody should have been asking about to begin with?

The whole concept is about as digestible as a bottle of ipecac.

What does this say about the murderous activities that went on before these allegedly impeachable offenses involving the President's sex-life? It is OK to enable the import of drugs and export weapons over the objections of Congress, to cooperate in assassinations at home and abroad, to commit mass murder against the citizens of this nation on television and in secret, and to engage in a campaign of terror and intimidation against anyone who points these crimes out to the rest of the country? These are all ok? The next President can do the same, but he had best not have a weakness for young women!

Whoever would rejoice at such a resolution deserves their fate, for what will follow will surely be no improvement.

Pardon me if my celebration resembles more a scream of horror than of joy.

Operation Black Dog

The Gulf war story no one will publish

Research into a story about Gulf War Syndorme led to indications that Saddam Hussein had used Chemical and Biological Weapons in the Gulf War.  It appeared that President Bush's threat to "respond in kind" was but an empty promise.  Or was it?  Explosive evidence too hot for any major media outlet to handle shows that this may be one case where a politician did keep his word.

Rodney Stich

When Deep Politics was first formed in 1994, its primary goal was the sale of the second edition of Rod's book, Defrauding America.   The book is now in its third edition, and we are very happy to feature Rod as our latest affiliate.  Specializing in the disclosure of serious governmental corruption and its disasterous impact on typical American citizens unliky enough to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, Stich has developed what is most probably the most comprehensive network of insiders of anyone in the muckraking field of journalism.

A year ago, the Big Media cast out the issue of the CIA and contra crack from the realm of respectable debate. Now, the other shoe is falling. The inspectors general of the CIA and the Justice Department are completing investigations that will clear the CIA and the Justice Department of wrongdoing. 

The results of those investigations were leaked out in mid-December, but scheduled releases of the actual reports were postponed "for law-enforcement reasons." The delays meant that the supposed findings could get major media play without any examination of the underlying facts. You might use this article as a guide for reading between the lines of whatever official words are uttered in the new government reports and press stories that follow.

Please Note: COPI, Deep Politics, Deep Times, and David H. Stern, M.D. make every effort to select thought-provoking articles for their relevance and accuracy. Checking on every single source is an impossible task for this organization, and we rely on our authors to be diligent in their description of persons and events. Occasionally, an article may be presented that is less accurate than those we normally feature. (The only example that we know of at this time, is the article on The Viper Militia, which has been removed. New information has cast doubt on the alleged assassination plot against Bill Clinton in 1992, but that story was merely reported as the claims of two operatives. That information now appears in the article.)

If you as a reader find a material misrepresentation, we appreciate it when you point it out to us. If the errors can be substantiated, corrections will follow. However, as stated, the responsibility for accuracy of the articles on this site rests with the authors, and COPI, Deep Politics, and Deep Times, and David H. Stern, M.D. expressly deny liability for errors.
