Hiding Public Information

last modified 2008-12-21 07:36

It's a little hard to keep track of our government when they hide everything they're doing from us, even things that are definitely supposed to be made public!

****As with Bush's military record, the powers that be erased CIA documents regarding their use of torture ("Bush personally watched them and ordered them destroyed but won't admit it while his staff works feverishly to destroy any evidence and blackmail any witnesses into silence")

****Attorneys for the Bush Administration asked a federal court on Monday to order that documents on hundreds of cases of autism allegedly caused by childhood vaccines be kept from the public.

*****McCain and his wives War Profits (including forcing one type of water/beer on the military), "secret" untaxed bank accounts, how they are delaying their tax return until right before the election, and 9/11 inside trading

**State Dept. erases all references to top official (Tobias) who quit over DC Madam list...isn't that what ol'Russia and Germany did? Yes, the answer is yes.

***The White House trying to get out of FOIA requests

******So many facts in this story bother me: 1) Our taxpayer money, $67.5 Mill worth, is being spent creating a data mining machine.  2) Lockheed and the Navy are working together on this project 3) How the story throws out large numbers like $67.5 Mill without mentioning where that money comes from 4) A Navy research center in the mountains of West Virginia (maybe that's from watching too many Bond flicks...but still...) 5) Bush [purposely] screws up and we have to pay 6) Reagan was able to destroy ILLEGALLY records without ever even being scruntinized  7) Same with Clinton 8) Cheney might find a loophole to destroy the emails semi-legally 9) That the email gate still hasn't been wrapped up even though it was brought to light over a year ago

****Salon summarizes all the sh!t Cheney has done, how he's violated the constituion, and why he should be impeached

***Finally released documents detail the events of a US Military Pilot who shot down a UFO during the Cold War ("“I had not the foggiest idea what had actually occurred, nor would anyone explain anything to me,” the pilot said. He said he was led to a man in civilian clothes, who “advised me that this would be considered highly classified and that I should not discuss it with anybody not even my commander.” “He disappeared without so much as a goodbye and that was that, as far as I was concerned,” the pilot said")

****Bush keeps citing "Executive Privilege" to get out of revealing information that would most likely get him in trouble.  The media talking heads say this is his right.  What they don't say is that Clinton was denied citing "Executive Privilege" when he was president.

****The somewhat convoluted story of murdered reporters and the coverup that ensued

*******Iron Mountain's underground facility in Pennsylvania. Semi-secret, heavily secured subterraining self-sustaining lairs containing government secrets is NOT an X-File. It's real life. This one contains never released evidence from Flight 93 at the very least.

*****The FDA has announced that beginning today, spinach and lettuce sold across the United States may now be secretly irradiated before it reaches grocery store shelves (well since most of them have stock or are on the BoD of Pharm companies, cancer is their friend)

***Documents made public in the course of the U.S. Attorney Purge scandal reveal that key Administration figures used a private e-mail system.  How large is this secret communication system??  Karl Rove said that they could fix an election from an underground bunker!!  Of course, he said that in jest.....or was it? ("The truth is Chase and I snuck off to have sex on one of the empty hospital beds."  "HAhahaha, that would never happen!")  Who are the players involved in this secret e-mail system and GWB43.com

*******While trying to get the e-mails involved in the Attorney firings, White Officials deleted, redacted, destroyed, and "lost" over 5 million e-mails.  This is all ILLEGAL by the way, and yet they get away with it.  Here is one insider's statement how the way Rove and Co. handled two different computers at the same time made him nervous. More anonymous insiders list the variety of asinine excuse by the neo-cons to delay releasing the requested information And Gonzales lies (badly) in front of Congress, everyone knows it....he should be in jail.  Painful to watch...seriously try and watch without cringing Olbermann points out how this isn't the first time this administration has "lost" data

******Ufo pulling insane G's spotted from a United States Space Shuttle in 1991...Did the US fire a missile at it?  Are they covering it up?  Why did they since cancel live feeds from space shuttles?  Remember: Astronauts most likely love to explore--but the management of NASA are hired and closely watched over by the Pentagon and their motives are entirely different.

****Federal agents raided the Washington headquarters of the agency that protects government whistle-blowers

Vice President's office breaks law...no one cares

***Bush and Cheney want visitor logs kept secret...another power grab and more things they want to keep secret

**Daily Show briefly talks about the "accidental" e-mail eraseurs in a humorous and easy to understand way

****What Are Cheney and Addington Hiding About NSA Spying on Americans?

****On the HOR floor: Oregon Congressmen Peter DeFazio warns of the growing fascist power of the Bush Administration and how they are keeping their Martial Law plans secret...while no one seems to be paying attention
