more than meets the eye...

will the "congressman from chevron" william "freezer burn" jefferson go quietly off to prison , or will he risk a bullet and tell what he knows about bribery, corrupt nigerians ,bush-cheney and big oil ?


"who needs bullets when i got this frog sticker ? now where's that boy in congress they say's been talking about talking ? "








...so i'm working like a slave's worst nightmare , feverishly trying to finish a project that was , of course , dumped on me by the bosses from work at the last minute and as always , "due yesterday" --standard operating procedure at the saltmines in which i labor to earn my daily bowl of porridge... while i'm working , the news is on the radio and they are discussing this congressman william jefferson-- "dumbocrat" from louisiana the fbi allegedly caught on videotape with his hand in the cookie jar taking a bribe ..."another dirty congressman" is the immediate reaction --big deal --most of them are already bought and sold --lock him up and then go get the rest --but then as the story continued , they reported that the fbi raided his house and found $90,000 of the $100 grand thay had used as the bribe money hidden in his freezer --the radio makes the predictable "cold cash" comment and then the report mentions that the fbi raided also his congressional offices --unprecedented in Us history and it starts to become clear to me that there might be more to this case than a simple bribery sting .

picture this senario -- under the patriot act the defenders of the "law" can unannounced and without your knowledge enter your home or place of business , search the premises and never have to inform you that they were even there.

so let's just say that you happen to be a member of congress and you just voted against a bill , or an appropriations that cost certain business people connected to vested , powerful interests , some lucrative government contracts, or let's say you even voted against a war the executive branch might be cheerleading for and your obstinance somehow disturbs the scheduled feedings of the hogs at the trough ...under the patriot act , what is to stop this same executive branch from sending its minions to pay an unnanounced visit to your home or offices in order to put something incriminating there --a large wad of marked cash , a dead hooker , a kilo of coke or heroin , or a ton of kiddy porn photos that they can they quickly return and arrest you for ?

if congress is corrupt--and it most certainly is -- does corruption limit itself to only one branch of government ?

under the patriot act it would be too easy and too tempting to plant evidence to make a case --or to punish political opposition --as appears to have been done by this present administration to nsa intel analyst ken ford who recently got slapped behind bars for six years when 2 boxes of classified documents were supposedly removed by him undetected from a super secret , super secure , super surveilled government spy facility and somehow made their way into his home and onto his kitchen table of all places...

ford had , as an nsa intel analyst , signed his name to a report that said there was no evidence he could find that iraq possessed wmd. this report contradicted the bush administration's spin and bullshite leading the american public by the nose to war . this same report with ford's name on it crossed the desk of one dick cheney --a man with power and an obvious hard-on for war with iraq--anyone alive from the neck up can put two and two together.

congresswoman cynthia mckinney --a long outspoken critic of the "dick and dub" whitehouse spin-show gets stopped and manhandled on her way to a session of congress by capitol hill police in an obvious attempt to send a message that this administration is clearly not above using law enforcement or investigative agencies to harrass , blackmail intimidate those opposed to its policy of war and crony feeding frenzy at the public trough ...so you've got what appears to be a corrupt dumbocrat caught with his hands full with $100,000 in marked cash while jack abramoff stuffs millions into offshore accounts in return for peddled influence while israelis run callgirls ,callboys and callchildren out of washington dc hotels --to very influential washington dc people--and for the first time in history , fbi raids congressional offices --not looking for marked money --they've already claimed to have recovered that from his freezer --but instead , they seize boxes of documents and hard drives from computers in congressman jefferson's offices --bush slaps a freeze order on releasing details about the nature of the documents and info seized --- and i can't help but wonder --what's REALLY going on here ?

could it have something to do with the "congressman from chevron" --jefferson's documents citing not only his connections to nigerian bribe money but bush-cheney oil connections to nigerian bribe money and underhanded dealings with a bunch of greedy, foolish all-too-eager-to-loot-their-own-country nigerians --with the fbi documents seizures being a case of the bush administration covering its own azz ?
