The Voice of the White House December 6, 2004
"As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."
- H.L. Mencken
"A little patience, and we shall see the reign of witches pass over, their spells dissolve, and the people, recovering their true sight, restore their government to it's true principles. It is true that in the mean time we are suffering deeply in spirit, and incurring the horrors of a war & long oppressions of enormous public debt. ... If the game runs sometimes against us at home we must have patience till luck turns, & then we shall have an opportunity of winning back the principles we have lost, for this is a game where principles are the stake. Better luck, therefore, to us all; and health, happiness, & friendly salutations to yourself."
-Thomas Jefferson
Nous sommes desoles que notre president soit un idiot. Nous n'avons pas vote pour lui.
The Voice of the White House
December 4, 2004: “If you want to do a book, that’s fine by me but don’t expect me to show up for a book-signing tour with Borders Books. Men in black suits with little crosses in their coat lapels would show up and shoot me dead while chanting verses from Psalms.
I will send you some really lovely documents you can put into the text but since you don’t know my name, put down anything you like. How about Russell Bush, the Cousin No One Talks About?
Now, down to more serious matters. First of all, I have written before about the incredible security precautions to be taken here for the Imperial Inauguration in January. I am sending you part of a DHS bulletin that will back this up. I can’t send you the Secret Service directives because to publish them would result in immediate and furious reactions and probably visits from the flat of feet and pointy of head.
There will be more security in and around DC than Hitler ever had at one of his rallies. Everything but the Nazi flags and goose-stepping SS men. There will be Coast Guard watches over all waterways around Washington, Air Force units on instant readiness (unlike the very odd and highly suspicious total lack of concern on September 11…in spite of many important warnings of an attack) with antiaircraft missile units in place all around the Beltway, on the ground and especially on the roofs of buildings around the Capitol and the White House.
On the ground, heavily armed Special Forces units everywhere, waiting inside Federal buildings to emerge and “deal severely” with any organized crowd activity directed against the Head Chimpanzee. And I mean the orders are, and I have seen them, to drag protesters outside the view of the public and especially the cameras and beat the shit out of them.
Bush and his Gestapo have not forgotten the last inauguration wherein people actually had the nerve to hoot and jeer at him and, far worse, to hurl vegetables and other objects at the Imperial limousine. My God, you should have seen our Beloved President’s face when blunt objects thundered down on his car!
He was as white as a KKK sheet and his mouth was hanging open in shock. Top speed to the White House and he had to have a soothing shot before he wet himself. ….
And this is really funny and entirely predictable. The Christian Right is somehow of the opinion that since they, and they alone (with the help of Jesus and Almighty God…the Virgin Mary is not in their pantheon) elected Caligula for another term, he owes them big and he is now expected to deliver on his vague promises, made to various Christian Right leaders, in private of course, before the election. This long list is howlingly funny, or would be if it weren’t serious. Here is a copy of at least some of the more obnoxious items on their wish list that I have culled from all the papers around here:
Abolish and criminalize abortion
Establish Creationism in all public schools
Declare Christmas a “True Christian Holiday”
Base American law on the Ten Commandments, not the Secular Constitution
Make any kind of homosexual activity a criminal offense
Censor any and all media material they deem to be pornographic or offensive
Send missionaries to Iraq and other occupied countries to Christianize them…by force
Declare a Christian Crusade as quickly as possible with the aim of converting the world.
Work with Israel to demolish the Arab mosques and rebuild the Temple of Solomon
Declare Sunday as Christ’s Day and shut all retail businesses down for that day
Institute the Tithe in the United States where 10% of the worker’s checks go to Jesus (them)
Ban forever any kind of Satanic Rock and Roll and make it punishable to air or play it
Set up a Cabinet post as Religious Coordinator
Stop the publication of any and all Harry Potter type Satanic books. Abolish Satanic board games
Immediately quarantine any and all AIDS victims as drug abusers and rampant queers
Abolish all secular media programs on Sunday and Christmas and replace with religious ones
Require heavy prison sentences for any and all drug abuse.
Reestablish old sedition laws to prevent displays of anti-Government sentiment anywhere
Now it should be obvious that Bush cannot even discuss any of this in public or he would be impeached or much worse. He knows it, Karl “Chubs” Rove knows it and so does every one else here in the Monkey Palace not on Prozac. The catch of this is that if Bush does not conform to the Celestial Party Line, these chinless geeks will turn on him with a vengeance. They are very good haters, (they hate everyone but themselves) and very soon George will have to either cater to them (which he cannot do and is absolutely impossible) or he will be Evangelical toast.. Poor Curious George.
He will have the increasingly vicious war in Iraq (which is now descending into Nazi-like outright war crimes) on one side and the rabid, screeching Jesus Freaks on the other. I don’t think the next four years will be healing ones for anyone and George will be well-done on the rotisserie of the Fires of Hell.
Unfortunately, the rest of us will have to cook too because George is going to take us all down with him. If God were indeed All Seeing and All Merciful, He would take George to His bosom with diligence and dispatch.”

RIN 1625-AA00
Security Zone; Potomac and Anacosta Rivers, Washington, DC and Arlington and Fairfax Counties, Virginia
AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to establish a temporary security zone from January 14 through January 25, 2005, encompassing certain waters of the Potomac and Anacosta Rivers in order to safeguard a large number of high-ranking officials and spectators from terrorist acts and incidents. This action is necessary to provide for the security of persons and property, and prevent terrorist acts or incidents during the 2005 Presidential Inauguration activities in Washington, DC. This rule would prohibit vessels and persons from entering the security zone and require vessels and persons in the security zone to depart the security zone, unless specifically exempt under the provisions in this rule or granted specific permission from the Coast Guard Captain of the Port Baltimore.
DATES: Comments and related material must reach the Coast Guard on or before January 3, 2005.
ADDRESSES: You may mail comments and related material to Commander, Coast Guard Activities Baltimore, 2401 Hawkins Point Road, Building 70, Waterways Management Branch, Baltimore, Maryland 21226-1791. Coast Guard Activities Baltimore, Waterways Management Branch, maintains the public docket for this rulemaking. Comments and material received from the public, as well as documents indicated in this preamble as being available in the docket, will become part of this docket and will be available for inspection or copying at Coast Guard Activities Baltimore, Waterways Management Branch, between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays.

If, as we anticipate, we make this temporary final rule effective less than 30 days after publication in the Federal Register, we will explain in that publication, as required by 5 U.S.C. (d)(3), our good cause for doing so.
Public Meeting
We do not now plan to hold a public meeting. But you may submit a request for a meeting by writing to Coast Guard Activities Baltimore, Waterways Management Branch, at the address under ADDRESSES explaining why one would be beneficial. If we determine that one would aid this rulemaking, we will hold one at a time and place announced by a separate notice in the Federal Register.
Background and Purpose
The U.S. Maritime Administration (MARAD) in Advisory 02-07 advised U.S. shipping interests to maintain a heightened state of alert against possible terrorist attacks. MARAD more recently issued Advisory 03-06 informing operators of maritime interests of increased threat possibilities to vessels and facilities and a higher risk of terrorist attack to the transportation community in the United States. The ongoing hostilities in Afghanistan and Iraq have made it prudent for U.S. ports and waterways to be on a higher state of alert because the al Qaeda organization and other similar organizations have declared an ongoing intention to conduct armed attacks on U.S. interests worldwide.
Due to increased awareness that future terrorist attacks are possible, the Coast Guard as lead Federal agency for maritime homeland security, has determined that the Coast Guard Captain of the Port must have the means to be aware of, deter, detect, intercept, and respond to asymmetric threats, acts of aggression, and attacks by terrorists on the American homeland while still maintaining our freedoms and sustaining the flow of commerce. This security zone is part of a comprehensive port security regime designed to safeguard human life, vessels, and waterfront facilities against sabotage or terrorist attacks.
The Captain of the Port Baltimore proposes to establish a security zone for the 2005 Presidential Inauguration activities in Washington, DC to address the aforementioned security concerns and to take steps to prevent the catastrophic impact that a terrorist attack against a large gathering of high-ranking officials and spectators in Washington, DC, would have. This security zone applies to all waters of the Potomac River from shoreline to shoreline bounded by the Woodrow Wilson Memorial Bridge upstream to the Key Bridge, including the waters of the Anacostia River downstream from the Highway 50 Bridge to the confluence with the Potomac River, including the waters of the Georgetown Channel
Tidal Basin, from January 14 through January 25, 2005. Vessels underway at the time this security zone is implemented will immediately proceed out of the zone. We will issue Broadcast Notices to Mariners to further publicize the security zone. This security zone is issued under authority contained in 50 U.S.C. 191 and 33 U.S.C. 1226.
Except for Public vessels and vessels at berth, mooring or at anchor, this rule temporarily requires all vessels in the designated security zone as defined by this rule to depart the security zone. However, the Captain of the Port may, in his discretion grant waivers or exemptions to this rule, either on a case-by-case basis or categorically to a particular class of vessel that otherwise is subject to adequate control measures.
Discussion of Proposed Rule
On Thursday, January 20, 2005, the U.S. Presidential Inauguration will take place at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, DC. The 2005 Presidential Inauguration activities will include several Inaugural balls, parades and receptions. The security zone will be in effect from January 14 through January 25, 2005.
Regulatory Evaluation
This proposed rule is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, and does not require an assessment of potential costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of that Order. The Office of Management and Budget has not reviewed it under that Order. It is not ``significant'' under the regulatory policies and procedures of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
We expect the economic impact of this proposed rule to be so minimal that a full Regulatory Evaluation under the regulatory policies and procedures of DHS is unnecessary.
The operational restrictions of the security zone are tailored to provide the minimal interruption of vessel operations necessary to provide immediate, improved security for persons, vessels, and the waters of the Potomac River in Washington, DC. Additionally, this security zone is temporary in nature and vessels and facilities can the Captain of the Port for a waiver of the requirements of the security zone. Any hardships experienced by persons or vessels are outweighed by the national interest in protecting high ranking officials and the public at large from the devastating consequences of acts of terrorism, and from sabotage or other subversive acts, accidents, or other causes of a similar nature.
Dated: November 23, 2004.

Captain, U.S. Coast Guard, Captain of the Port, Baltimore, Maryland.

HOW FAR LEFT HAS THE CHRISTIAN RIGHT STRAYED?
by Debbie O'Hara
December 3, 2004
NewsWithViews.com
Seeking to take advantage of the momentum gained by the recent re-election of "conservatives" to public office, the Rev. Jerry Falwell has announced the formation of his new "Faith and Values Coalition" that will serve as a guide to Christian voters. In order to assure that "conservatives" are again elected in 2008, Falwell said the group will help keep momentum going "to maintain an evangelical revolution of voters who will continue to go to the polls to 'vote Christian". But is what we saw in this past election really an "evangelical revolution" of Christian voting or was it more a matter of the sheep following blindly behind leaders who have gone astray? Who is leading these Christians and where are they going?
Dr. James Dobson of Focus on the Family, Dr. Donald Wildmon of The American Family Association and Dr. D. James Kennedy of Coral Ridge Ministries, were among the Christian leaders Falwell credited with getting out the evangelical vote. Of the over 30 million evangelicals who turned out on election night, Falwell stated, "I proudly say they voted Christian!" Really? By whose standards does he make such a claim? Certainly not by Christ's!
Rather than telling Christians to research individual candidates to see who held a godly position, our nation's top Christian leaders overwhelmingly urged people to vote Republican and to re-elect President Bush to the highest office in our land. Let's take a look at Bush's first term in office to see if we can say that evangelicals "voted Christian" by giving President Bush a second term.
During his first term, President Bush signed Domestic Partnership Bills that for the first time gave federal benefits to same-sex couples. He appointed numerous open homosexuals to high public office even paying travel expenses for their homosexual partners. Bush increased abortion funding through "family planning" organizations like Planned Parenthood. His open border policy leaves our nation vulnerable to more terrorist attacks while Americans are being sexually abused at airports in the name of protecting them from terrorists. Knowing how anti-Christian our government schools are, what benefit is there for Christian families under Bush's proposed Orwellian "New Freedom Initiative" that calls for all children under the age of 18 years (eventually all Americans) to be examined by a psychiatrist? Sounds more like Stalinist Russia than America to me. In this age of "political correctness", both religion and aversion to socialism are considered mental illnesses. On ABC News with Charles Gibson, Bush again stated that Muslims and Christians worship the same God - we just have different routes of getting there. It seems that I could continue on with this list almost endlessly, but I think I have proven my point overwhelmingly that Falwell's statement "I proudly say they voted Christian" is false. Those who use the voting for the "lesser of two evils" argument certainly cannot claim that as a Christian concept. We did have a better choice.
It's interesting to note that President Bush says he owes his "conversion" to the Reverend Billy Graham. While Graham, often known as "America's pastor", is probably one of the best-loved individuals of the 20th century, you might be surprised at some of his statements. On Larry King Live in December 1994, Graham stated that "homosexuals are born that way and that it's in their genes." This statement of course is false because homosexuals cannot reproduce and therefore cannot pass on their genes to the next generation. Unfortunately by his statement, Graham leaves the thought open to millions of his followers that homosexuals are not responsible for their lifestyles. If Graham is responsible for Bush's "conversion", perhaps this is why Bush along with many other Americans accept "civil unions" (virtual marriage) for homosexuals. This of course contradicts the Word of God.
Graham also said that one does not have to believe in Jesus to go to heaven! When Pastor Robert Schuler, one of the fathers of the church growth movement, asked him “…what do you think is the future of Christianity?” Graham responded in part, “…Outside the Christian groups, I think everybody who knows Christ, whether they are conscious of it or not, they’re members of the Body of Christ.” He went on to say, “…whether they come from the Muslim world, or the Buddhist world, or the Christian world, they are members of the Body of Christ, because they’ve been called by God. They might even not know the name of Jesus…and I think they are saved, and that they are going to be in heaven with us.” Perhaps it is
because of Billy Graham that President Bush thinks that Muslims and Christians worship the same God.
So where are the Christians of America being led? Not to Christ, but to accepting a socialist world government and the ecumenical movement where common ground is to be found among the world religions in order to bring about peace and unity among men on earth without God! The Bible speaks of unity in doctrine, but in this "new world order" being created for us, doctrine is to be thrown out in favor of world "tolerance". The only thing that all men around the globe have in common is their sin and that is what our world leaders want us to have tolerance for!
Scripture encourages us to accept guidance from other people in the body of Christ. "And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ." Ephesians 4: 11, 12. However, we were also given a word of caution. "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God; because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 1 John 4:1.
How do we try the spirits? By testing them against Scripture, of course. Professing Christians don't seem to be testing anything. They have bought the liberal left's philosophy of a gushy unbiblical kind of "love" that wants nothing to do with holiness, righteousness or justice. They believe it is "unchristian" to hurt people's feelings by exposing deceit. Jesus sure didn't think so.
"But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!" (Matthew 23) In speaking woes unto the religious leaders of His day, Christ still sends a strong message to us in our day. Deceit is to be exposed wherever it is found.
It seems that Christians will accept the lie of "liberalism" as long as it is disguised behind the term "Republican". I heard a lot of vitriolic speech spewed forth from professing Christians who were upset with their brethren who would not vote for George W. Bush. They said that not voting for Bush was the same as voting for Kerry. While I don't agree with that statement, I would at least like to comment that if Kerry was in the White House there would be far more objection from America's Christians to the totalitarian agenda being forced upon us!
To those Christians who voted to give President Bush and his fellow leftists - ahem - "conservatives" another term, I ask, were they seeking the Shepherd or were they just following the flock? As a nation, we must prayerfully seek guidance daily for President Bush and for our other leaders. But surely we must wonder how far "left" the "Christian Right" has strayed when they choose for themselves such ungodly leaders?
