Must Read: From Michael Ruppert - Coup D'Etat (Bush is toast)
http://www.fromthewilderness.com/free/ww3/060804_coup_detat.html

Why did DCI George Tenet suddenly resign on June 3rd, only to be followed a day later by James Pavitt, the CIA's Deputy Director of Operations (DDO)?

The real reasons, contrary to the saturation spin being put out by major news outlets, have nothing to do with Tenet's role as taking the fall for alleged 9/11 and Iraqi intelligence "failures" before the upcoming presidential election.

Both resignations, perhaps soon to be followed by resignations from Colin Powell and his deputy Richard Armitage, are about the imminent and extremely messy demise of George W. Bush and his Neocon administration in a coup d'etat being executed by the Central Intelligence Agency. The coup, in the planning for at least two years, has apparently become an urgent priority as a number of deepening crises threaten a global meltdown.

Based upon recent developments, it appears that long-standing plans and preparations leading to indictments and impeachment of Bush, Cheney and even some senior cabinet members have been accelerated, possibly with the intent of removing or replacing the entire Bush regime prior to the Republican National Convention this August.

29. IF this is true, look for some major discrediting of the neocon base:
the right wing phony Christian funddies. They are the massive base that the neocons have manipulated through their sleazeball leaders like Pat Roberstson, Fallwell, Reed, Dobbson etc. If any of this story is true some things will have to be done to begin to turn the masses against the neocon policies concerning the ME and the 'greater ME' as your President likes to call it. I look forward to how these religious charletons will be discredited in the future. When I see that happening, then I will believe more of this story.

3. Hot buttered toast (licks lips...)
and crosses fingers... I have read all to often that Bush is toast only to notice him wander across the troubled water almost without getting damp.

13. Resignation
Edited on Tue Jun-08-04 10:54 PM by Walt Starr
The handwriting will be on the wall for the GOP. They must throw Bush and Cheney overboard in order to survive. Both of 'em in succession. Their only hope is a pardon deal with Hastert.

6. sounds credible
bush and his klan outed a deep cover agent..who knows how many people may have been killed, how many agents lost important informants? just how badly is the creditability and trust in the cia has been lost? are we in greater danger than ever before because of all this? my opinion is that we are and that who ever is involved in the plame affair should be tried for treason, but sadly it will never happen.

9. So, what are Kerry's chances against Hastert?
Edited on Tue Jun-08-04 10:52 PM by Walt Starr
After all, Hastert could well be president before November if this pans out.

They fucking picked the wrong dude as an independent investigator. Fitzgerald is going after this administration Chicago style!

16. I could win against Hastert
and I'm a dumpy middle-aged academic with charisma detectable only to family and friends. Dennis Hastert makes me look *electric*!

Kerry? He'll roll over Denny.

10. I thought that outing the agent was only punishable if you knew
that she was an important agent BUT shouldn't the president of the U.S. have been more careful?

25. I think she was a very important agent.
She wasn't pushing paper at CIA headquarters....she was running a clandestine operation that was charged with finding terrorist buyers of nuclear weapons. Real WMD stuff.

BTW, "Poppy" Bush once declared that outing CIA agents was the highest form of treason. While I suspect that was a veiled reference to people who would out him for his CIA connections and Bay of Pigs, it will seem quite ironic if his son becomes impeached on the strength of that statement.

14. OK, I'm ready.
I've just taken an inventory of the champagne and I'm ready.

I suppose the resignation of Powell will be the signal to get a few bottles into the fridge.

15. YES!!! YES!!! YES!!!

HIGH CRIMES AND REALLY STUPID MOVES

Shortly after the "surprise" Tenet-Pavitt resignations, current and former senior members of the U.S. intelligence community and the Justice Department told journalist Wayne Madsen, a former Naval intelligence officer, that they were directly connected to the criminal investigation of a 2003 White House leak that openly exposed Valerie Plame as an undercover CIA officer. What received less attention was that the leak also destroyed a long-term CIA proprietary intelligence gathering operation which, as we will see, was of immense importance to US strategic interests at a critical moment.

The leak was a vindictive retaliation for statements, reports and actions taken by Plame's husband, former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, which had deeply embarrassed the Bush administration and exposed it to possible charges for impeachable offenses, including lying to the American people about an alleged (and totally unfounded) nuclear threat posed by Iraq's Saddam Hussein. Conservative columnist Robert Novak, the beneficiary of the leak, immediately published it on July 14, 2003 and Valerie Plame's career (at least the covert part) instantly ended. The actual damage caused by that leak has never been fully appreciated.

Wilson deeply embarrassed almost every senior member of the Bush junta by proving to the world that they were consciously lying about one of their most important justifications for invading Iraq: namely, their claim to have had certain knowledge, based on "good and reliable" intelligence, that Hussein was on the brink of deploying a nuclear weapon, possibly inside the United States. It was eventually disclosed that the "intelligence" possessed by the administration was a set of poorly forged documents on letterhead from the government of Niger, which described attempts by Iraq to purchase yellowcake uranium for a nuclear weapons program.

The sharks are circling and its neocon blood in the water!!!

17. These are pleasant thoughts, but
These are pleasant thoughts, but the article uses "Capitol Hill Blue" as a major source, saying that it's written for Congress.

Anybody can post something on the internet and hope Congress will read it.

I don't trust "Capitol Hill Blue."

27. A major source?
Maybe I missed some citations, but I thought I only saw that source used one time, and not for anything that undermines the overal theories of the piece..

19. If this is at all true, how does Poppy figure in? After all, he was
former CIA director, former President, and presumedly remains wired in to what is going on....Wouldn't he be taking note of this and trying to whip up a counter faction within CIA or elsewhere to save the Bushbot*?

This is kind of far-flung stuff. What do we know about Michael Ruppert and From The Wilderness. Are they reputable?

22. I just finished reading this tonight before seeing it here
And I have to admit that the pieces all fit together tantalizingly well in the scenario laid out by the good Mr. Ruppert.

Rice sat on the board of Chevron, not Exxon-Mobil.

31. CIA Rank and File
They are not only pissed off about the Plame outing but The Office of Special Plans usurping them and then casting blame on the CIA for bad intell on Iraq.It doesn't seem that the CIA members are going to let their screw over slide.

The Prison Torture Scandal that seemed to be fading is now heading toward a Constitutional Crisis.
