Four Must-Read Articles

I ran across four articles written by Nat Parry. I wanted to bring them to your attention because the information contained in them goes a long way to helping one understand what we see unfolding before as this administration grabs more and more power. I'll list them in the order that I read them. Each article had reference back to the earlier and that helped to paint a very broad picture as to why things are happening the way they are. Remember, nothing in politics happens by chance. These article are more proof of that fact.

 

The first article:

Bush's Mysterious 'New Programs'

By Nat Parry
February 21, 2006

Not that George W. Bush needs much encouragement, but Sen. Lindsey Graham suggested to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales a new target for the administration’s domestic operations -- Fifth Columnists, supposedly disloyal Americans who sympathize and collaborate with the enemy.

The second article:

An Upside-Down Media

By Robert Parry
February 18, 2006

The gravest indictment of the American news media is that George W. Bush has gutted the U.S. Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Geneva Conventions and the United Nations Charter – yet this extraordinary story does not lead the nation’s newspapers and the evening news every day.

The third article:

The End of 'Unalienable Rights'

By Robert Parry
January 24, 2006

Every American school child is taught that in the United States, people have “unalienable rights,” heralded by the Declaration of Independence and enshrined in the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights. Supposedly, these liberties can’t be taken away, but they are now gone.

And the last article:

Alito & the Ken Lay Factor

By Robert Parry
January 12, 2006

The “unitary” theory of presidential power sounds too wonkish for Americans to care about, but the confirmation of Samuel Alito to the U.S. Supreme Court could push this radical notion of almost unlimited Executive authority close to becoming a reality.

After reading all the information and evidence that Robert Parry lays out for us, can anyone argue against the theory that the Bush administration intends to create a king-like Executive? You'd have to be pretty thick-headed not to see this.
