REGARDING RICHARD CLARKE
Former counter-terrorism chief courts biased media and politics with book:
Against All Enemies: Inside America's War on Terror
March 2004

CLARKE SHOULD LOOK IN THE MIRROR FOR BLAME

It is glaringly apparent that former counterterrorism official Richard Clarke laying blame on the Bush administration for being weak against Al Qaeda and failing to prevent the September 11th attack on America -- because of an obsession with Iraq -- is little more than the desperate act of an incompetent, disgruntled employee -- with an inflated view of himself, an axe to grind and a book to sell -- who didn't get the job he wanted as the deputy director of the newly formed Department of Homeland Security.

When laying blame on those most responsible for being soft on terrorism and failing to prevent the 9/11 attacks, Clarke should look in the mirror along with the Clinton administration. Indeed, Clarke accomplished little more than to egregiously ignore terrorism, author and shamelessly promote a vindictive book of lies and deceptions, and to display dishonest emotions when he testified at the 9/11 hearings. Clarke's only statement that could be interpreted as true was that he failed 9/11 victims and their families.

Indeed, it is highly disturbing to see the politically-biased news media use Clarke as a campaign hatchet man and even worse to see the media exploiting 9/11 victims' families, some of whom have sadly assumed a political agenda of their own. And it's simply scary to know that extreme selfish interests and unconscionable machinations come so easy to the careless in these troubled, dangerous times. Lest we forget, shallow fame seekers, irresponsibility, gross negligence and savage terrorists amounts to the high probability of pain, suffering and death to many of the rest of us.

AMERICA'S DEEPENING TROUBLES
April 11, 2004

Terrorist attacks, the war against terrorism, the war in Iraq and a wavering economy have America steeped in uncertainty. Adding the polarizing politics and the uncivilized war of the 2004 presidential election to the troubling mix is doing little more than stoking the fires of fear with the sticks and stones of confusion. In other words, the shallow and selfish interests of the few are simply making it difficult and dangerous for the rest of us.

Politics as usual is one thing, but when the left-wing of the Democratic Party cranks-up its propaganda machine, and the education establishment fills students' heads with socialist activism and the revision of our history (supported by the amoral entertainment industry), and biased journalism pumps out daily doses of bad news and media-driven chaos, for the sole purpose of political party regime change... America is in deep, unimaginable trouble.

The "tyranny of the majority" is a phrase often used by those who jerk around the majority and democracy to get what they want. Surely, the tyranny of the majority is nonsense. However, the tyranny of the minority is very real as evidenced by the lethal left of politics, education, entertainment and media. Wrongly demoralizing our military, their families and our nation over the politics of 9/11 heardings, the war against terror and the liberation of Iraq is tantamount to aiding and abetting to our enemies. They watch all this stuff and react to it, encouraged by unconcionable parallels with the Vietnam War.

America is better than this... We need nonpartisan government and elections. We need corruption-free capitalism. We need to break the education monopoly. And we need fair and objective news media.

Re: Former counter-terrorism coordinator Richard Clarke,
his book, his motives and his 9/11 hearings testimony

My e-mail to the Fox News O'Reilly Factor March 26, 2004

Bill,
It is glaringly apparent that former counter-terrorism czar Richard Clarke's soft-on-terrorists blame game is little more than the desperate political act of a disgruntled employee with an inflated view of himself, an axe to grind and a vindictive book to sell. If he had the integrity to come on the Factor, he'd have to look in the mirror and point the finger.

Bill,
I believe Clarke has and axe to grind and thinks Bush-bashing will sell his book.

It is glaringly apparent that former NSC counterterrorism coordinator Richard Clarke's fingerpointing blame game is little more than the desperate acts of a disgruntled employee with an inflated view of himself, an axe to grind and a well-timed vindictive book to sell. If he had shred of integrity he would look in the mirror and hang his head in shame instead of promoting his deceit in the eager media and making false accusations and dishonest apologies at the 9/11 hearings.

DEMORALIZING AND UNDERMINING OUR NATION FOR POLITICAL PROFIT
By Daniel B. Jeffs, founder
April 26, 2004

Since the horrific events of the September 11, 2001 attack on America and the resulting war against terrorism, many have come to the inescapable, highly disturbing conclusion. The Democratic Party, supported by the elite news media, have charted a dangerous course during the 2004 presidential election season to demoralize our military and our citizens over the war and occupation of Iraq. Right or wrong, it has become glaring clear that the out-of-power, nit-picking politics of the left will do anything to rest control of the White House and the Congress from President Bush and the Republican Party, regardless of the consequences, even at the expense of undermining our national security.

Terrorist attacks, the war against terrorism, the war in Iraq and a wavering economy have America steeped in uncertainty. Adding the polarizing politics and the uncivilized war of the 2004 presidential election to the murky mix is doing little more than stoking the fires of fear with the sticks and stones of confusion. In other words, the shallow and selfish interests of the few are simply making it difficult and dangerous for the rest of us.

Politics as usual is one thing, but when the Democratic Party cranks-up its propaganda machine, and biased journalism pumps out daily doses of bad news for the sole purpose of political party regime change... America is in deep, unimaginable trouble. Wrongly demoralizing our military, their families and our nation over the politics of 9/11 headings, the war against terror and the liberation of Iraq is tantamount to aiding and abetting our enemies. Terrorists inside and outside of Iraq watch all this stuff and react to it, encouraged by political in-fighting and media-driven chaos. Sadly, some could even conclude that shallow, self-serving politics have markedly increased the loss of American, coalition and Iraqi lives

The daily difficulties in Iraq, former counter-terrorism advisor Richard Clarke's questionable motives, the 9/11 hearings and the media's obsession with Bob Woodward's loosely veiled anti-Bush book highlight just how vulnerable America is during presidential election time. It is simply frightening to witness the adverse effects of vitriolic politics, particularly when it puts us at increased risk in this perilous era of terrorism. Clearly, terrorists took advantage of us shortly after the 1992 presidential elections with the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, and they did it again soon after the 2000 presidential election by destroying the World Trade Center, damaging the Pentagon, crashing another plane in Pennsylvania and taking thousands of lives in 2001. Surely it's time to set selfish interests and partisan politics aside, and to work together with common sense to find solutions for our survival. Our future depends on it.

America is better than this. The two-party system has proven to be a serious social, political and economic liability, costing us too much and holding us hostage for too long. It's time for common sense in government instead of senseless partisan power struggles at our expense. What is even more troubling is the fact that there seems to be no middle ground in the battle between the political left and the political right. That middle ground is where most of us reside and we are missing-in-action. Considering what's been going on in Washington, maybe it's time to amend the Constitution and break the two-party grip on our federal government. Indeed, it is clearly past time for voters to assume the front row seat in making public policy.

UNDERMINING AMERICA
Published in the San Diego Union-Tribune
May 6, 2004

Exploiting our war dead and negatively-charged saturation coverage of Iraq by the left-leaning news media establishment makes it painfully clear that the intention is to undermine the moral of the military, their families and the American people for the sole purpose of ousting President Bush in November.

But at what price? Terrorists see this and they react to it. Indeed, this kind of political treachery is tantamount to aiding and abetting the enemy, costing more lives, and leaving the Fourth Estate with a treasonous image.
