You know, the worst part of the Bush-Cheney cabal is how poorly it is run. It use to take years to sheer away layers of the hidden hand onion till you got to the teary filled truth. But with Bush Redux, it takes about five minutes. This is no way to run a conspiracy. If this really was an agenda for a permanent majority of capitalist plutocrats, then this is what would happen.
First off, you have to knee-cap all the ones who brought you, which has been done with Rove and Gonzo, and countless other Bush Administration officials. Now they are in the fourth quarter, they need someone with pure balls to take this game into a never-ending overtime. Enter Michael Chertoff, who even looks like an agent of Satan.
For this to really go gang-busters, here is the sequence of events that needs to happen for this to be a proper conspiracy:
- Bush must appoint Michael Chertoff the Attorney General on a recess appointment.
- Michael Chertoff will not resign as Director of Homeland of Security, but will now have a dual role of AG and leader of Homeland Security, let's call him the General Attorney of the Homeland Directives (GAHD), just for shits and giggles.
- Any attempt to see the decision making behind this will be stonewalled behind Executive Privilege, which now comes not only with backing of the AG, but also the Homeland Security!
- Any attempts to now sue the Bush Administration will also be seen as jeopardizing Homeland Security, again backed by the GAHD.
- Any attempts to bring a Bush Administration official before Congress will also be seen as jeopardizing Homeland Security, thanks to GAHD.
- GAHD can also interrupt parts of the Constitution for the security of the homeland, say the 22nd Amendment.
- Any attempt to look into what appears to be mass election fraud in 2008 will also have to be taken up with GAHD.
After that, it's all gravy, and the country will have to bow down before GAHD.
Of course, this will never happen, because these guys have no idea how to run a proper conspiracy to overthrown the rule of law in the USA. Because if they did, Bush would appoint Chertoff in a Recess appointment, and get the ball rolling.
But if he does, watch for fireworks, especially when Chertoff announces his new dual role until a proper replacement can be found for Homeland Security. And like Cheney looking for a Vice-President, Chertoff will call his own number, and that will be the number of GAHD.
