Grab your Tinfoil Hats...

[Soylent Brice]

i'm sitting here reading all these stories on DU today, and it dawned on me.

Bush was not trying to make out like a bandit with his cronies by ripping off America.

Bear with me on this.

I think Bush was doing one thing, and getting rich just happened to be a bonus.

I think Bush was purposely trying to run the country into the ground. The systematic dismantling of the United States of America was the only goal here. I think the intent was to marginally disrupt any and all branches of the government. This in the form of politicizing the DOJ and other similar instances, neutered our ability to ever be able to piece the country back together again.

it's a pretty commonly shared belief that W invaded Iraq for every reason but what we were told, including oil and getting back at Saddam for his plot to kill his daddy. If these are acceptable reasons as to why he would invade Iraq, then what I'm proposing shouldn't be too much of a stretch either.

Go back to the FDR admin, and the Business Plot. They wanted to take over. Plain and simple. The Business Plot was a failed attempt at a military coup. I think they realized that with how the system was set up it would never really be possible to do such a thing. I think instead the next plan was too infiltrate the government throughout, establish relations with the likes of the Bin Laden family, et. al, and to basically tear it all down. To bring us to our knees.

We have seen this type of vindictive behavior from him before. Outing a CIA agent comes to mind, as well as Siegelman.

As i read about dealerships being closed (dealerships that are actually successful)and the near collapse of the entire economy in general, and two quagmires, and a multi-trillion deficit, and absolutely no visible accountability, it becomes more and more clear that the big picture is a USA that is so crippled that it will take nothing short of FDR era policies to fix all of this. Policies, mind you, that we'll never see this day in age because the rightwing mouthpiece media has been instructed by their masters to ensure that the masses will reject anything that DOESN'T reek of rightwing "reaganesque" policy failures.

If anything, a crippled USA is much better mark for them. They win either way. Either they cripple us enough to complete their coup (which they didn't due to a democratic presidential victory - kind of threw a wrench in their plans) or the consolation prize which is the tantrum-inspired "if i can't play with that toy i'll just break it" destruction of our economy and government.

Does this mean I think we'll never rebound? No.

What this DOES mean is that it will take a shitload of work. In the meantime the bigger picture needs to be realized as to WHY this happened, and this scenario is the only thing that seems to make any sense to me as of yet.
