MooPig Follow-up Department :: "War Crimes of Bush Era"

Is Germany Filing War Crimes Charges Against George Bush And Dick Cheney?: "The problem with the stories from Ryan Denson and Tiffany Willis (besides from being very misleading and using large chunks of the original text with a couple of words changed) is that human rights groups don’t have the ability to indict anybody for war crimes. The German government could take up the case as this group has requested, but doing so would jeopardize German relations with the United States, which is a strong ally and fellow member of NATO. In addition to that, Brookings points out that indicting anyone for war crimes and attempting to prosecute them creates diplomatic issues that have to be taken into careful consideration."

"...Cheney’s claim that he would approve torture again highlights a key question: Are top officials above the law, and will the impunity of today lead to more abuses in the future? The question spans a wide chain of command from Cheney, President Bush and other White House officials, who kickstarted the torture program after 9/11; to the lawyers in the Justice Department, who drafted the memos providing legal cover; to the CIA officials, who implemented the abuses and misled Congress and the public; and to the military psychologists, who helped devise the techniques inflicted on prisoners at U.S. military prisons and secret black sites across the globe..." (Gonzalez, Juan--Democracy NOW! Dec 19, 2014. LINK)

CONCLUSION
The issue is "Did we torture or did we not torture?" There is no middle ground for this activity so loved by Cheney and Dubya, Rumsfeld and Rice. Torture is still amoral, up there with cannibalism, and only in America could these people get away with it, is what we are telling the world?

If I were Dubya, Cheney or the others I would drink myself blind and shoot myself. But that won't happen. So, more questions are raised than can be answered.

MooPig Budget Department :: "How many US Overseas Military Bases are There"

Trillion Dollars? It's "Penta-gone"
Mashed articles by Pat Darnell  |  Dec 1, 2013  |  Bryan TX

[Picture LINK]

Op-Ed: How many bases does U.S. have globally and what is their cost?: "David Vine who teaches at American University in Washington D.C. who has written for the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the Guardian, attempted to find out himself the cost of the more than 1,000 U.S. military bases outside of the United States and is currently completing a book on the subject."

'via Blog this'

MooPig Budget Department has been looking around for models to fashion its department around. The editors found this bit of malaise surrounding the US Military Budget. It is totally f**ked up, SNAFU, murky dismal. The military is our number one embezzler of taxpayer money. YIKES!

Safe to say, MooPig Budget Department won't be copying the Pentagon's creative accounting; or will we? If they can get away with it, hey, ....

" ... The Pentagon must each year produce an "Overseas Cost Summary" that calculates the total price on overseas military activities. This includes costs of construction, repairs and maintenance. There are about one million U.S. military and Defence Department personnel and families abroad. This calculation for the 2012 fiscal year ending September 30 documented $22.1 billion in spending. But that is only part of the story.

Congress conveniently ordered the Pentagon not to include the more than $118 billion spent in 2012 on wars in Afghanistan and other places throughout the globe. Even if you added this amount in, it does not come close to economist's Anita Danc's estimate of about $250 billion. Even without including war spending, Danc's estimate comes to about $ 140 billion, not even close to the Pentagon figures. (Ken Hanly. Dec 16, 2012. LINK) ... "

MooPig Activism :: The Real Costs of Profiteering

Consequences are Deep; the Perpetrators are Shallow
Retrieved by Pat Darnell at Matthew Bach/faceBook  |  Mar 21, 2013  |  Bryan TX

When this war dragged on past Dubya Bush's speech when he said the US has prevailed in the Battle of Iraq; his speech given from the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln, it awoke a beast in me. I did not know that I would have such hatred for a president as I did on that day. Now years later, in the wake of our Iraqi occupation, I think Dubya was standing on the stern of the carrier. He must have been preaching to the seagulls on the fan tail.

Whatever he was doing, turned out to be a lot of barking at the wind. Dubya Bush is a lunatic, and living proof that privilege allows men to go free even when they are mass murderers.

A dying Iraq veteran pays his last respects to the men and women who killed him.

Dangerous Minds | Dying vet’s ‘fuck you’ letter to George Bush & Dick Cheney needs to be read by every American:

To: George W. Bush and Dick Cheney
From: Tomas Young

EXCERPT  |  " I write this letter on behalf of us all—the human detritus your war has left behind, those who will spend their lives in unending pain and grief. I write this letter, my last letter, to you, Mr. Bush and Mr. Cheney. I write not because I think you grasp the terrible human and moral consequences of your lies, manipulation and thirst for wealth and power. I write this letter because, before my own death, I want to make it clear that I, and hundreds of thousands of my fellow veterans, along with millions of my fellow citizens, along with hundreds of millions more in Iraq and the Middle East, know fully who you are and what you have done. "

'via Blog this'

[READ entire Article HERE]

When we find these "Internet" derivations of fact, we are as wary as anybody that it is possibly the work of imagination. But we find this letter expressing many Americans' heart felt opinions of what has happened.

If the letter is a knock-off, well, even so, it should still be regarded as a declaration of independence from the misogyny, hegemony, dilettantism, dreck, and confusion brought on by privileged progeny of rich, bombastic, war profiteers:

at Letter EXCERPT | " ... I write this letter, my last letter, to you, Mr. Bush and Mr. Cheney. I write not because I think you grasp the terrible human and moral consequences of your lies, manipulation and thirst for wealth and power. I write this letter because, before my own death, I want to make it clear that I, and hundreds of thousands of my fellow veterans, along with millions of my fellow citizens, along with hundreds of millions more in Iraq and the Middle East, know fully who you are and what you have done. You may evade justice but in our eyes you are each guilty of egregious war crimes, of plunder and, finally, of murder, including the murder of thousands of young Americans—my fellow veterans—whose future you stole. ... "

Oooorah!

MooPig Site Review :: Alex Jones' Infowars: There's a war on for your mind!

This Generation
Co-opted by Pat Darnell  |  Mar 13, 2013  |  Bryan TX

[Picture LINK]

MooPig Site Reviews are little more than glimpses at what is happening on other pages throughout the online kingdom. Believe you me, there is a lot going on!

We focused on this new Cheney stuff, because this is where we catch up with the man, Alex Jones. As Americans all, our troubles only started the day Rumsfeld, Cheney, and Dubya came to Washington. The clandestine operations of Cheney alone have far reaching, and deadly, consequences.

If laws are being written in our Congress today, based on what Cheney manufactured in his many lies, we all inherit his deleterious excrement.

Alex Jones comes on very strong in his radio presentation, and in his overall take on government in the USA. For reals, we at MooPig Enterprises want to believe what he says. But some others in their reviews of Alex Jones InfoWars have alluded to his mission might be CIA sponsored, to which we say, wasn't 9/11 also CIA sponsored? For an opinion on Alex Jones as a conspirator, See: The Mollygate Alex Jones Stratfor Scandal, [LINK].

That is the drama we experience daily in our blogging adventure. Some one tells us about Alex Jones, he goes on TV and slams Piers Morgan [LINK], and, we catch up with Alex Jones's updating his list on Cheney's oblique, sideways walk through his pitiful life.

» Cheney Admits that He Lied about 9/11 Alex Jones' Infowars: There's a war on for your mind!: "In a documentary soon to appear on Showtime, “The World According to Dick Cheney,” [Cheney said]  “I got on the telephone with the president, who was in Florida, and told him not to be at one location where we could both be taken out.”

Mr. Cheney kept W. flying aimlessly in the air on 9/11 while he and Lynn left on a helicopter for a secure undisclosed location, leaving Washington in a bleak, scared silence, with no one reassuring the nation in those first terrifying hours."

'via Blog this'

From the InfoWars Site:  "Cheney lied about numerous other facts related to 9/11 as well. For example, Cheney:

-Falsely linked Iraq with 9/11 (indeed, the entire torture program was aimed at establishing such a false linkage; and Cheney is the guy who pushed for torture, pressured the Justice Department lawyers to write memos saying torture was legal, and made the pitch to Congress justifying torture. the former director of the CIA said Cheney of overseeing American torture policies)
-Falsely claimed that spying on Americans, torture, the Patriot Act, the Afghanistan war, the Iraq war and the “war on terror” were all necessitated by 9/11 … when none of it was true
-Falsely stated that an attack such as 9/11 was unforeseeable, when Al Qaeda flying planes into the World Trade Center and Pentagon was something which American military and intelligence services – and our allies – knew could happen
-Falsely pretended that he was out of the loop during the 9/11 attacks
-Falsely blamed others for 9/11, when Cheney was in charge of all of America’s counter-terrorism exercises, activities and responses on 9/11. See this Department of State announcement and this CNN article …
-… And when Cheney was apparently responsible for letting the Pentagon get hit by an airplane(confirmed here and here)
-And was instrumental in squashing a real investigation into 9/11"

It's True -- Cheney Admits that He Lied

» Cheney Admits that He Lied about 9/11 Alex Jones' Infowars: There's a war on for your mind!: "“I gave the instructions that we’d authorize our pilots to take it out,” he says, referring to the jet headed to Washington that crashed in a Pennsylvania field. He adds: “After I’d given the order, it was pretty quiet. Everybody had heard it, and it was obviously a significant moment.”

***

When they testified together before the 9/11 Commission, W. and Mr. Cheney kept up a pretense that in a previous call, the president had authorized the vice president to give a shoot-down order if needed. But the commission found “no documentary evidence for this call.”"

Nominations are Open for New Leader of Al Qaeda

Moopig's Shortlist of Nominees for Top Dog at AL Qaeda
by Pat Darnell

1) Dick Cheney -- While VP Dick Cheney is undecided on whether to have a heart transplant or not, his name comes to mind as a likely candidate. The Al Qaeda network needs his leadership. As he still holds to the idea that "Ever since Obama entered the White House, the former vice president has been decrying him as a weak leader whose actions place the nation at risk." While Cheney also holds the fort on the means to bin Laden's demise was his formidable torture techniques at Gitmo.

There could be no better candidate than the former Haliburton CEO. He probably knows every vendor in the world. Yes he could bring credibility to the daft organization of terror cells of the al Qaeda.

" ... But let's roll the tape. In 2009, after Obama was in office less than a month, Cheney told Politico that there was a "high probability" that terrorists would attempt a nuclear or biological attack in the coming years and that, thanks to Obama's policies, the odds were better that such an assault would succeed. He also said, "When we get people who are more concerned about reading the rights to an Al Qaeda terrorist than they are with protecting the United States against people who are absolutely committed to do anything they can to kill Americans, then I worry."

You see, Dick Cheney wants someone to nuke someone ... and he wants someone to make a biological attack out there. It is almost a marriage in heaven, because Cheney could take over the al Qaeda leadership, send out some of those kinds of attacks himself, and die early from his heart condition, not having to face the consequences of his acts. It's a perfect short term solution for the rudderless terrorists since bin Laden's trip to the bottom of the sea.

2) Donald Rumsfeld -- "Chicago-born Rumseld, 78, has been a college wrestler, Navy pilot, congressman, chief of staff to another president (Ford); a go-to guy for special missions from presidents Nixon and Reagan; and CEO for eight years of a big pharmaceutical company (Searle).

He spreads some blame around for reverses in Iraq (big beef: intelligence errors) but he's no back-biter and fesses up to his own misses.

On the big question, though, whether the Iraq war was "worth the costs," no retreat. The Middle East would be "far more perilous," he says, if dictator Saddam Hussein had been allowed to stay in power.

Donald Rumsfeld has flip-flopped on torture! Monday (May 2, 2011)he told Newsmax (a site of no credibility, but Rumsfeld didn't deny giving the interview):

" ... First of all, no one was waterboarded at Guantanamo Bay. That’s a myth that's been perpetrated around the country by critics. The United States Department of Defense did not do waterboarding for interrogation purposes to anyone. It is true that some information that came from normal interrogation approaches at Guantanamo did lead to information that was beneficial in this instance. But it was not harsh treatment and it was not waterboarding."

But Monday night (May 2, 2011) he told buddy Sean Hannity:

" ... I’m told there was some confusion today on some programs…suggesting that I indicated that no one who was waterboarded at Guantanamo provided any information on this. That’s just not true. What I said was no one was waterboarded at Guantanamo by the U.S. military…Three people were waterboarded by the CIA…and then later brought to Guantanamo. In fact, as you point out, the information that came from those individuals was critically important. ... (Walsh, Joan. May 4, 2011. Read entire article HERE )"

Rumsfeld just wants the "last word," God love him.

How Many Times has this same thing happened to You?

Idol Satire for the Idle Mind
by Pat Darnell and no one else

"An internal White House investigation found missed messages and portrayed an out-of-the-loop Caldera, clearly the [Obama] administration's fall guy." (May 8, 2009; AP)

Just recently this aide to the White House resigned and wrote a splendid resignation letter toward impending ... what .... ?

[PHOTO: Air Force One scary May 09 fly by]

That is impetus enough for MooPig Department of "Resignation Letters and Inflated Resumes" asking all hypothetically-incorrect questions:

"What if Criss Angel were appointed to replace the unforgiven press aide... who had launched an enormous purchase order for Air Force One to fly over the Statue of Liberty for Pic's and Cheese Cake Photos... as the Fall Guy?"

What better Fall Guy, than the Illusionist and Vegas Show Dude, Criss Angel? We were too late. It turns out, gravity defying Angel had already been approached before -- during George W. Bush years. MooPig was shocked what we found out:

Angel: "I was pursued by the Bush Administration to become a trainer for the Troops in Afghanistan," said Crisspy Critter Angle, which is his code name, that was later shortened to just Moses Poses.

MPW: Coincidentally: In November 2008, Angel began dating Hugh Hefner's former girlfriend Holly Madison. The relationship ended in February 2009.

A: "She wasn't my Girl 'Friend' -- she was my Girl 'Fred'," insists Angel in our interview. "Kind of like Sarah Palin was to McCain, you know, the other lady from Alaska, -- Holly was to be my twist when stories hit the news -- same idea," explained Angel.

MPW: "Were you attempting to be next in line with the top ten who might be replacements for Hugh Hefner?" asked MooPig correspondent.

A: "No, no, no, no" sang out Angel, supposedly to make sure we know he is not just another Yes man. "It was to be my international Playboy cover to be supposedly double timing with Holly."

MPW: "When you say No; do you really mean Yes? Since you are a top paid Illusionist in this highly competitive entertainment business, it would seem you need to be more positive" we asked. "It could contrast your dark, childish charm image that follows you around."

A: "No, no, no, no, ... well Yes and No," said Angel, and then pulled a ten penny nail out of our interviewer's head.

MPW: "I swear -- I see a magnet in your palm!!!" shouted our stunned interviewer.

A: "Nope, again, just this wine bottle cork that I will now plug that hole in your head," said Angel.

The cork, of course, turned into a levitating Aardvark. And to win our admiration with unprecedented prestige, Angel slapped the animal and it turned into Perez Hilton, who walked away on thin ice.

When it seemed our interview with Criss Angel would never accomplish anything we had partitioned it for.. Angel divulged some of the wishes the previous administration had burdened him with.

A: "Yes, Cheney himself picked me up May 2003, in his used US Army Land Limo Two, --[which I by-the-way, turned into US Army Land Lamborghini Two]--, and took me to Chi-Chi's Cabana for late lunch," explained Angel. "There he told me about President George W Bush's secret thoughts, revealed to him Cheney by the White House fireplace late one evening."

A: "Said Cheney back then, as I recall: 'The President asked me to contact you, Mr Angel, to find out if you use wires, or trick photography or is it all real?'" said Angel. "I remember because I almost choked on my ChimiChanga, and spewed shredded beef all over the vice-President."

MPW: "I thought you are a Vegetarian?" inquired MooPig.

A: "No, no, no, no, no, no.. who gave you that idea? Anyway, as I listened, I replied like any artist worth a damn, 'It is all Real,'" said Angel. "So, then VP Cheney said President Bush would like to talk with me in private."

"I had an appointment in the Oval Office with W. He asked me how I do that disappearing elephant thing, replacing the animal with an Army Tank... that's when I made his desk into a black hole, trimmed with jaw bones of asses," said Angel.

MPW: "Wow! and, how did that go over?"

A: "Well, my mistake was in falling back on the stability of the falling US Dollar, it didn't fare very well. In fact, it put a strain on the whole Iraq\Afghan training mission idea," said Angel almost whispering now. "It was a mistake to bring future events forward with W."

MPW: "Hunh?"

PHOTO: View of Angel's Resignation Letter --->

A: "Well it took about $4,968,75w,957,297,529.98 to put the Oval Office back together, with Steve Hawking's help -- and it proved that many things over in D.C. are so wrong on so many levels," explained Angel, "that I had to write a Resignation Letter before I even was given a job, and submit it before I left the Oval Office, resigning my appointment along with all my wires, mirrors and strings, thank you very much."
_______________________
We never heard about the desk incident. This is a major scoop for MooPig Enterprises.

Thank you for tuning in: Fly-overs of Air One? bizarre shopping scandals about sandals..? is the new puppy really a Japanese robot..? Unanswered news releases must be responded to by all the Resignation Letters from fall guys and gals.

And, there you have it -- is he Criss Angel codename Crisspy Critter Angle, or is he not the new Obama administration's behind-the-scenes court magician\ illusionist Fall Guy? I know I would like to have him on our team. NOT!

You go to Wal-Mart for the same reason we do; the money!

Why Did Mr. Springsteen Go To Wal-Mart? by Jack Pribek [Retrieved HERE]

"So, Bruce Springsteen has a new record out, is [he] is playing the Super Bowl, did the inauguration; he’s in the press a lot these days. He also did the exclusive distribution deal with Wal-Mart on the greatest hits package."

So far so good... but there must be some angst, because we know the blog-itude too well.

Bruce touched on this briefly in a lengthy NY Times piece.

Now the FAQ start to flow for the King of Bossdom:

1. How much of a “vetting” process do you need to do on Wal-Mart?
2. Are any of you that are reading this unaware of the fact that Wal-Mart isn’t a union outfit?
3. Is everybody in Springsteen’s organization that far out of touch?

Okay, the argument is [a]-WalMart #1; [b]-non-union shop; [c]-Springsteen Inc. C-class out of the loop. Check!
Bruce sings for everyman. That’s the shtick right? ...The deal is, you shop at Wal-Mart because it’s cheap and you work at Wal-Mart because they are hiring.

The appeal to the Bross:

1. C’mon Bruce! You did it for the money, right?
2. Because Wal-Mart is the one that still throws some cash out there, right?
3. That’s something everyman can understand. You go to Wal-Mart for the same reason we do; the money!

Between you me and a can of Shasta Cream Soda, I really do not see how the King of Howling has much to do with me, you or the soda. But, we shall attempt to tie it together, shall we?

There is no mistake here. Pribek's scoop of the entrails of the deal are a perfect cross-section of how it is right now in AO America. [After Obama America] Wal-Mart came through the prairie dust storm and reigns supreme. Still on top and still moving laterally through the entire world.

It is called Supply Chain mechanics, Value Added Re-Sale Demand, money in the pursuit of developing markets dynamics, it's why Cheney was Vice president in charge of distribution economics ...call it:

"I will eat these vegetables - but it is good to have a big juicy steak once in awhile consumer bifurcations." For Chrissses' Sake, where do the sisters all shop?

I think what is being circled by these wagons, in the Pribek query is a question: "What happened to the Prestige?"

Ah-ha! Said the Wagon Master: Where is the applause meter? What happened to the celebration? Where can we go to get high, enjoy some music and not be hassled?

Can I get a witness? OOOORaH, BEEEEEAcH

Weapons of Mass Distraction

Poster children for Adult Attention Deficit Disorders have set new precedent for American Wartime Tyranny
by Pat Darnell

With the aplomb of a war criminal; Dick Cheney has offered his best defense upfront of his departure from office. War crime and lame-duckedness are a grizzly combination.

Lame-duckedness is a syndrome, people become blind and get tunnel vision, causing them to only see what is in front of them, putting them into a trance like state while looking for the perfect gift. This effect is similar to what usually happens two days before Christmas.

Guy: Dude, what was up with that chick driving the Escalade, she almost hit you.

Guy 2: She's eat up, she's a Christmas zombie

Does anyone appreciate the risk one takes to present oneself in public office?
One blogger finds the recent interview with VP Dick Cheney enlightening: "..On December 15, 2008, ABC’s Jonathan Karl interviewed Vice President Dick Cheney, who actually managed to evince more delusional confidence than even anticipated. When asked about torture, Cheney disregarded criticism about his part in Guantanamo as the pish-posh of ignoramuses." (Tracy O'Neill, Dick Cheney Condones Torture in ABC Interview with Jonathan Karl, Claims US Has Not Used Torture Techniques Posted by 12/16/2008 09:30 AM)


"Doing what we need to defend the Nation. ..If that is what [is meant] that I [Dick Cheney] have changed, then yes I'm guilty...

MooPig interjects that VP Cheney might have added: ...And all those files are sealed now by the national security councils for the next fifty years. So buck up patriots and laborers, your course is laid in for you and you are "distracted."

We notice that: Gone is the doggedness, and sweaty brow of Cheney; all that is left is the crooked path of an un-surveyed paper trail.

MooPig-sters everywhere, do you hear that? That humming sound? That is the sound of mass confusion, led by weapons of mass distraction. Please all those within the sound of my voice hear this:

It will soon be over. It is complicated because that is the veil lame ducks hide behind in times of mish mash politics; these fellows pull out their weapons of mass distraction.

We deduce: Every story going out to press of the Cheney -- Bush marriage is now moot. Indictment, and pardons, is a last ditch effort to get at the truth about our compromised liberties of the past eight years. Cheney\Bush didn't produce the dead or alive body of Bin Laden, nor did they produce incentive to send American troopers to their deaths in Iraq... and so on.

There's a new marshal in town: "Barry Obama; And partner -- when we see the terrorists bleed, that is the story that will lead."

Urban Dictionary WORD of the Day: Libby, Libbyed, to Libby, will be Libbying

To Libby (verb): to out someone's undercover role, as Lewis "Scooter" Libby with others did to CIA agent Valerie Plame.

Old News is Fun, too

Remember? "Lewis 'Scooter' Libby, Vice President Dick Cheney's former chief of staff and a long-standing member of the clique of hardliners and neoconservatives who pushed for the Iraq War, was convicted in early March 2007 on charges of lying to government investigators probing the leak of the identity of CIA agent Valerie Plame. Among the charges were two counts of perjury, one count of making false statements, and one of obstruction of justice." (Go to: http://rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/1271 )

Her: "Yes, I'm sort of a secret agent."
Him: "Well, if you keep telling people it's not much of a secret is it?"
Her: "Oh, you're right! I need to work on my stealth. Sorry."
Him: "Don't apologize to me - I'm not the one who Libbyed you!"

In the meantime, mind your ownbusiness with regards to this subject. rc/zm/CTU[end]

Hey rc/zm/CTU: Don't get Libbyed! [stop]

Conclusion: Twenty years Ago...

""According to the New Yorker , Libby's novel, The Apprentice, "...tells the tale of Setsuo, a courageous virgin innkeeper who finds himself on the brink of love and war" (November 7, 2005).

"Describing the book as an "...entry in the long and distinguished annals of the right-wing dirty novel..." the New Yorker reports that it took Libby more than 20 years to write the book, which takes place in a secluded Japanese province in the early 1900s.

""The narrative makes generous mention of lice, snot, drunkenness, bad breath, torture, urine, 'turds,' armpits, arm hair, neck hair, pubic hair, pus, boils, and blood (regular and menstrual)," reports the New Yorker.

"One passage goes, 'At length he walked around to the deer's head and, reaching into his pants, struggled for a moment and then pulled out his penis. He began to piss in the snow just in front of the deer's nostrils.'" At some point, a character asks "if they should f--- the deer.""

""Retells the New Yorker: "The answer, reader, is yes."" (David Dow, "Independence Day: The Drama of Bush and Libby," New York Times, July 4, 2007). [Ibid. / rightweb.irc-online.org~]

And that my friends is why Old News is soooo interesting. You can go back and find all the reasons for the nincompoop stuff we all do in the course of our lives. This news item apparently is over twenty years in the making; from Scooter Libby's conception of his right-wing dirty novel to now!
