Gonzales Has to Go

The Nation is crumbling under the weight of the outsourcing of jobs, which will never return, artificial bubble economics, which is devastating the personal finances of anyone not lucky enough to have "gotten in" before the bogus expansions, and corporate-enabled consolidation of wealth, which is widening the wealth gap and creating angst among the vast majority of Americans.

This is all to say nothing of the seething angst among the forgotten poor of our country. Many of them are turning to gangsterism, which is justified by gangsterism by corporate scams and the actions of Bush and his operatives, like Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. The erosion of social morays among the dispossessed is justified, in part, as a reaction to the recent stealing of elections, which is being exposed by the revelations about Timothy Griffin's roles the 2000 and 2004 election voter suppression efforts by he Republican National Committee (RNC).

Despite the happy talk about how great the US economy is doing, it is fundamentally flawed, and subject to a serious pending correction; the economic statistics of Wall Street mask the more honest economic statistics of main street. It's time for Congress, both Democrat and Republican, to take the bull by the horns and wrestle it to the ground. This should start with doing what ever is necessary to initiate a legal investigation Gonzales and get an honest replacement. We cannot afford to have Gonzales at the helm of the Justice Department if or when our Nations hits troubled waters ahead.

Contact the Solicitor General, Paul Clement, and request an investigation. In particular, ask that Gonzales be investigated for perjury: AskDOJ@usdoj.gov

Update - August 27, 2007:

He's gone. Now it's time to follow up with criminal investigations.

Preemptive Saturday Night Massacre at DOJ

The blogs and NY Times Krugman are buzzing about the on-going "purges" at the US Department of Justice. Keeping with Bush's tactic of preemptive strikes, it appears he is commiting a pre-emptive saturday night massacre. The buzz is that Bush is trying to remove honest prosecutors to limit their ability to investigate him.

This is just one more piece of evidence that the Bush administration is a Revolutionary Power, as defined by Henry Kissinger in his PhD thesis. A former director of the Brazilian Mint once told me, "It's easier to prevent a dictatorship than it is to remove a dictatorship." He said this early in Bush's administration, and he spoke from experience.

Contact the US Department of Justice and let them know what you think.
