Thievery comes in many disguises. It can be the petty pilfering of another person’s private property or the gobbling up of another people’s country. In either case, no win-win situation results.
Regarding Bush II’s 40 thieves, we refer primarily to the neocons, who surround him and, in fact, run the shadow government. In the process of furthering their dark agendas, they usurp power, stripping the American people of their rights, natural resources, jobs, respect as a nation, and international admiration. This is thievery of the most severe order.
Neocons advance an arrogant moral authority in doing whatever it takes to further their ominous plans for world domination, regardless the cost of human lives or hard-earned American taxpayer dollars. Beware any thought of opposing them. Bush II made it clear that “you are either with us or against us”, meaning that the War on Terrorism is a war between good and evil, with Bush II wearing the tall white hat.
Neocons believe, as some of the 40 thieves testify, that the United States, by virtue of its good nature, warrants its goal of world domination. They are hypocritical in furthering their agenda; one day propping up a dictator if it serves their purposes; the next day, overthrowing him.
Not all of Bush II’s thieves serve in his administration. Most of them do. The rest arrive at the White House by various routes. Collectively, they cost America citizens dearly, because their mission of world domination is nothing more than a roundabout way of trading lands and lives for oil.
How did so many thieves penetrate the highest levels of the United States government? To read their official biographies, one would assume they did so by hard work and sheer determination, with a sprinkle of good luck. Not so. Most of them have connections to major corporations that will rake in millions of dollars expanding the US military and fighting the War on Terrorism.
The neocons in the Bush II Administration led us into war, bankrupted the nation, and made America the second most hated nation on Earth. As Irene Khan, secretary-general of Amnesty International said on May 26, 2004, “Washington’s global anti-terror policies are bankrupt of vision and bereft of principle. The world is crying out for principled leadership. Governments are losing their moral compass, sacrificing the global values of human rights in a blind pursuit of security.”
