New Contributor David Vincent: “Voting People Are Responsible”~Part 2
More from our newest writer David Vincent. Here is the second installment of his article
“Voting People Are Responsible”.
President Bush and his Vice President Cheney have an explicit distaste, which some have characterized formally in news articles as “hatred”, for New York. It has been reported they have described it at times as a “liberal, Times-loving cesspool of immigrants, minorities and too powerful Jews” This is well documented in Bush statements as Governor of Texas and from Cheney’s statements back when he was advising Reagan. Dick described California as “a place I’m glad Reagan left” and New York as “a throw-away state” in terms of electoral politics. Reports were that he justified so he wouldn’t have to “go to that city” during his tenure. As Governor of Texas, George Bush also avoided the Governor’s Conference held in New York, saying “that place isn’t for me. It gives me the willies just bein’ around all those people. I get a little sick to my stomach just thinkin’ about that place.” Not too hard to read between the lines.
So to deduce that both Bush and Cheney would actively be involved and/or be complicit in the 9/11 attacks against a place they so viscerally dislike is not really a stretch when the spoils include co-opting immediate, absolute executive power, imposing a form of martial law in terms of surveillance, civil rights abuses, and coercion through fear on a massive scale, settling of old Bush scores with Saddam and immediately ramping up military and high-tech weapons spending.
They let corporations run wild like foxes in a hen house, opened up all Iraq oil fields and doled out multi-billion dollar contracts for everything from supplying CEO security to food services to actually fighting the prolonged war with no end in sight, to the obvious reconstruction contractors. They, their companies or their closest friends’ companies made money hand-over fist on every aspect every day of the wars they created; most of these people have the most direct, the very strongest ties to the military industrial complex, the security tech industry and energy companies.
But they needed a catalyst at the exact, right moment to jettison their long simmering plan. And what do you know? They got one.
