Comment on George Bush's Mental State,
Religion and the Rise of Fascism in the US


by Larry Ross, August 2, 2004


The following collection of 3 short, powerful, and disturbing articles by Irregular Unit 005 are well worth reading.

I think it is accurate when Dowbenko writes:
"Bush is taking powerful drugs to control his depression, erratic behaviour, and paranoia" "Psychiatrist Dr. Justin Frank, in his book "Bush on the Couch: Inside the Mind of the President wrote that Bush was " a paranoid megalomaniac" and "untreated alcoholic" whose mental capacities are seriously diminished" Couple these with Bush's bizarre Christian Fundamentalist religious beliefs, that the often predicted heavenly armageddon is coming with Israel the centre, when believers like Bush will go straight to heaven and the unbelievers (the rest of us) will rot in hell. An induced nuclear armageddon would be a fulfilment of the Biblical prophecy, or so some fundamentalists believe.
As the most powerful man in the world, Bush is in position to act out any religious beliefs or paranoid delusions he may have. The religious beliefs can be used to reinforce, justify and excuse any megalomaniac things he wants to do - like the Iraq war, or the predicted coming war with his 'axis of evil' Iran, Syria or both. The fact that he has so far got away with his Iraq war with his lies, and that so many people are co-operating with him in suppressing the truth, would indicate to Bush that God was blessing him in this divine mission. He probably believes that means that it is okay to continue with plans for more similar wars, and to do whatever it takes, to have another term as US president.
As Bush says, he seeks God's advice, God talks to him, and wanted him to be President. So you have the idea or conviction of a divine mission firmly embedded in a paranoid mind. Some paranoids kill a parent, like the deluded young man in Southland, released from hospital as okay, who immediately stabbed his mother to death in Southland. There are many similar cases Paranoids have the ability to appear to be normal, so can fool people, like the Professional who certified the young man as okay in spite of the advice of the man's father that he was too dangerous to release. So Dr Frank's advice on Bush is likely to be discounted, just as the advice of American professional diplomats, republicans and others has been discounted.
So it's not surprising that Bush, often treated like a deity in the US with wild enthusiasm, can fool enough of the people enough of the time to do what he wants, as he has done since he illegally got to be US President in 2,000.
It is reported that Bush will only listen to his neocon extremists whose intellectual prescriptions pander to the President's megalomaniac tendencies. He does not listen to any critics - even senior members of his own Republican party. This is characteristic of the religiously reinforced megalomaniac that Dr Frank describes. Even healthy people like to listen to advisors who will reinforce their beliefs and actions. Wiser also seek out intelligent informed criticism and often make adjustments. Bush does not.

Article also follows on Right-wing Death Squads in Iraq?
The right-wing death squads, patterned on those US Ambassador Negroponte worked with in Honduras, may have already started their work, as so many leading intellectuals and University lecturers have been systematically assassinated in Iraq. The people best at this have been recruited by the US military contractor, Backwater, USA, in Chile, from former Chilean military who were trained under the military regime of Pinochet.
The authors "Burning Bush at http://burnbush.blogspot.com say: "FBI translator turned whistle-blower, Sibel Edmonds stated emphatically that she has seen documents that proved the Bush Administration was fully aware of the terrorist attack before 9/11"
They also say "the Bush administration is ...warning of the certainty of a new terrorist attack this summer ( or fall August/September/October in the US). They are preparing the country for an excuse to declare martial law or a red alert to cancel the upcoming elections."

Common Traits of Fascist Regimes
This last article is by Dr Laurence Britt. He studied the facist regimes of Hitler, Mussolini, Franco, Suharto and Pinochet and came up with 14 things they had in common. My conclusion from this article, from the other articles here, and many other papers, is that the US has been manipulated to embrace an American version of fascism and that the last chapter of the conspiracy is about to be enacted. I compared these 14 traits with the Bush Administration and found 12 traits the same. The other two I'm not sure of.
Why not compare them yourself. Let me know what you think by calling me at (03) 337-0118, or email

Madness of King George: Bush on Dope

by URI DOWBENKO, July 31, 2004

Alcoholism, cocaine abuse and incessant lying has taken its toll on President George W. Bush.

 

According to reports by Capitol Hill Blue, Bush is taking powerful drugs to control his depression,erratic behavior, and paranoia.

White House physician Richard J. Tubb is giving Bush these drugs, which aides admit "can impair the President's mental faculties and decrease both his physical capabilities and his ability to respond to a crisis."

Uh-Oh. How scary is that? Also repeated incidents of Bush falling off his couch and off his mountains bike attest to the powerful effects of these prescription drugs.

During several of Bush's latest public addresses, it was noted that his eyes were glazed and he exhibited markedly drugged behavior.

On July 8, Bush walked away from reporters, refusing to answer questions about disgraced Enron chief Ken Lay, a fervent financial supporter who funneled millions of dollars into Bush Sr. and Bush Jr. political campaigns.

Bush reportedly screamed --“Keep those motherfuckers away from me. If you can’t, I’ll find someone who can.”

Psychiatrist Dr. Justin Frank, in his book "Bush on the Couch: Inside the Mind of the President," wrote that Bush was a “paranoid megalomaniac” and “untreated alcoholic." This is known in Alcoholics Anonymous circles as a "dry drunk," someone who may not be drinking, but whose mental capacities are seriously diminished.

Before he became US President, George Bush was also known to be a cocaine addict, even though this problem was successfully covered up by his media handlers like Karl Rove, who leaked part of the story to the late Jim Hatfield, author of "Fortunate Son: George W. Bush and the Making of an American President."

“President Bush is an untreated alcoholic with paranoid and megalomaniac tendencies,” says Dr. Frank.

Frank's diagnosis would explain Bush's behavior, as well as the irrational War on Iraq boondoggle.

Coupled with Bush's bizarre religious beliefs, his actions as President are an ironic replay of the Madness of England's King George III.

The Madness of President George W. Bush must then be seriously considered as a logical explanation for his heretofore inexplicable behavior.

Right-Wing Death Squads & Drug Smuggling:
George Bush's Plan for Iraq

By now it is clear the Iraq War had nothing to do with 9/11, terrorists or weapons of mass destruction.

The Bush regime planned on invading Iraq from the very first days it seized power. It is becoming increasing clear the lack of an exit strategy was not an oversight by the Bush regime but a deliberate omission.

In fact the no exit strategy is readily obvious in the current construction of 14 military bases in Iraq. The bases are being built by private contractors and the US Corps of Engineers at the cost of billions of dollars to the American taxpayer. There will be no return of Iraq's sovereignty at the end of the month. The turnover to the interim government will be in name only.

Paul Bremer will have veto power over any decision the interim government makes that affects Haliburton or Corporate America adversely. Bremer has also been accused of covering up the torture at Abu Ghraib.

Bush's appointment of John Negroponte as America's first ambassador to Iraq is grim news for Iraqis looking forward to freedom. Negroponte was Reagan's ambassador to Honduras who covered up the murders by right-wing death squads.

This ambassador of death helped contribute to the genocidal terror waged by the Reagan administration in Central America. A report on the terror in Guatemala states: "In 626 massacres government forces completely exterminated Mayan communities, destroyed their dwellings, livestock and crops."

Additional proof that Reagan was waging a genocidal war in Guatemala comes from the statement of a fundamental minister visiting the Reagan White House after his return from Guatemala: "The Army doesn't massacre the Indians. It massacres demons, and the Indians are demon possessed; they are communist."

Negroponte will now be free to set up right-wing death squads in Iraq and will be helped by some of the worst thugs that South America has to offer.

Blackwater USA, a military contractor has hired mercenaries from Chile for security duty in Iraq. Blackwater began recruiting in Chile in the fall of 2003 and the first group consisted mostly of former Chilean military members trained under the fascist regime of Pinochet. The military under Pinochet was responsible for torturing and murdering thousands of citizens during his regime.

Just as the Iran-Contra scandal evolved to include drug smuggling, the Iraq War also is closely related to drug smuggling.

While the Bush regime has so far managed to keep the drug smuggling aspects of the war from reaching the media, evidence is beginning to emerge.

The evidence comes largely from a former FBI translator turned whistle-blower, Sibel Edmonds. Hired to translate intercepted messages soon after 9/11 this Turkish lady first blew the whistle on the FBI for dragging its feet. She has stated emphatically that she has seen documents that prove the Bush administration was fully aware of the terrorist attack before 9/11.

While Attorney General John Aschroft has imposed a gag order on her, this courageous lady has only been able to speak in generalized terms. However, she has repeatedly stated that when viewed as an international drug smuggling operation the picture becomes clear.

Sibel Edmonds has provided a huge clue in her generalized statements, a clue that points directly at the Bush family and Dick Cheney.

Halliburton, the oil services company formerly headed by Cheney, has a long history of involvement in drug smuggling and gunrunning especially through its Brown and Root subsidiary.

Brown and Root also has a long history of providing cover for CIA agents.

In the late 1970s Brown and Root was implicated in drug smuggling and gunrunning from oil platforms in the Gulf of Mexico built by Brown and Root and using ships owned by Brown and Root.

In the 1990s Brown and Root was implicated in smuggling heroin to Europe through Russia. The heroin originated in Laos.

The Russian incident surfaced in 1995 after thieves stole sacks of heroin concealed as sugar from a rail container leased by Alfa Echo. Authorities were alerted to the problem after residents of Khabarovsk, a Siberian city became intoxicated from consuming the heroin.

Alfa Echo is part of the Russian Alfa group of companies controlled by Mikhail Fridman and Pyotr Aven. The FSB, the Russian equivalent of the FBI firmly proved a solid link between Alfa Tyumen and drug smuggling.

The drug smuggling route was further exposed after the Ministry of Internal Affairs raided Alfa Eko buildings and found drugs and other compromising documentation.

Under Cheney's leadership of Haliburton, Brown and Root received a taxpayer insured loan through the Export-Import Bank of $292 million dollars for Brown and Root to refurbish a Siberian oil field owned by Alfa Tyumen.

The Alfa Bank is also implicated in money laundering for the Colombian cocaine cartels.

This convoluted route from Laos to Europe through Russia was quickly set up after George Bush sent Richard Armitage as his special envoy to Russia in 1989 allegedly to help with economic development. Due to the internal strife inside Russia Armitage had to work out the bottlenecks to fix this route.

Armitage, a retired Associate Deputy Director of Operations for the CIA, has repeatedly been linked to drug smuggling from Southeast Asia.

Aschroft's gagging of Sibel Edmonds becomes even clearer when George W's 2000 election campaign is examined.

Alfa Tyumen's lead Washington attorney James C. Langdon, Jr. coordinated a $2.2 million fund-raiser for Bush in June 2000 and agreed to recruit 100 lawyers and lobbyists in the capital to raise $25,000 each for W's campaign.

Moreover, the drug smuggling elements extend beyond Iraq. The Russian discovery of the drug route may have been the precipitating reason for starting the Kosovo War.

The only reason George Bush, the father, established the route through Russia was the instability in Yugoslavia. With the Russia discovery of the route a new route had to be established even if it took a war to do so. As a major military contractor Brown and Root was well positioned in Kosovo to assure itself a part of the profit in drug smuggling.

Indeed the Iraq War may well have been do to Saddam demanding too high of a kickback for smuggling opium from the poppy fields of Afghanistan.

Under the Taliban growing poppies was suppressed severely, but since George W. invaded Afghanistan and displaced the Taliban the poppy fields are once again in bloom.

Right wing death squads and a hub for drug smuggling is Bush's vision of democracy in Iraq, all orchestrated by the ambassador of death, Negroponte.

The old Iran Contra gang are all in place once again ready to flood the streets of America and Europe with cheap heroin from Afghanistan.

The Bush administration's reluctance to hand Saddam over to the interim government of Iraq may be based not on a fear of Saddam's military capabilities but on a fear of him telling what he knows about drug smuggling.

Saddam may have been removed for the same reason George the elder removed Noriega from Panama, because of his demands of too-large of a cut in the cocaine traffic coming from Columbia.

Meanwhile Americans are dying in Iraq for what may be no more than the greedy aspirations of the Bush drug smuggling family. For this reason the gag on Sibel Edwards must be lifted so she can speak freely and directly to the American people.

As new charges of criminal wrongdoing are arriving almost daily those of us that are old enough to have lived through Watergate recognize this as an administration heading for a train wreck like a bat out of hell.

Like a cornered animal the Bush administration is standing on its hind legs gnashing its teeth warning of the certainty of a new terrorist attack this summer. They are preparing the country for an excuse to declare martial law or a red alert to cancel the upcoming elections.

There is no terrorist threat. This is readily evident from protesters in front of Rumsfeld's and Rove's houses. If there was a threat of an attack the protesters would never have been able to get within shouting distance of either house instead there would have been several concentric rings of security preventing anyone from getting near.

If there is a terrorist attack this summer, the only certainty is it will be home grown and directed from the Oval Office just as the 9-11 attack was allowed to take place after the air force had been ordered to stand down.

Prepare for the worst, hope for the best because this group of war criminals and mass murderers know that if they lose their grip on power they will have to face the hangman for their crimes.

COMMON TRAITS OF FACIST REGIMES

Dr. Laurence Britt, a political scientist, wrote an article about fascism which appeared in Free Inquiry magazine
-- a journal of humanist thought. The article is titled 'Fascism Anyone?',
by Laurence Britt, and appears in Free Inquiry's Spring 2003 issue on page 20.

Dr. Britt studied the fascist regimes of:

*Hitler (Germany)
*Mussolini (Italy)
*Franco (Spain)
*Suharto (Indonesia)
*Pinochet (Chile)

(*All of whom the Bush Crime family have had direct ties to through Pappy Prescott or the CIA! --BZB)

He found the regimes had 14 things in common, and he calls these the identifying characteristics of fascism.

The 14 characteristics are:

1. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism -- Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.

2. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights --

Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of "need". The people tend to 'look the other way' or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc.

3. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause -- The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc.

4. Supremacy of the Military -- Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected.

Soldiers and military service are glamorized.

5. Rampant Sexism -- The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-gay legislation and national policy.

6. Controlled Mass Media -- Sometimes the media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or through sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in wartime, is very common.

7. Obsession with National Security -- Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses.

8. Religion and Government are Intertwined --

Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions.

9. Corporate Power is Protected -- The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite.

10. Labor Power is Suppressed -- Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely or are severely suppressed.

11. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts -- Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts.

12. Obsession with Crime and Punishment -- Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses, and even forego civil liberties, in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations.

13. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption -- Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions, and who use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders.

14. Fraudulent Elections -- Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against (or even the assassination of) opposition candidates, the use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and the manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

Any of this sound familiar? If we don't learn from history, are we bound to repeat it all over again?
