Adam Kokesh on John Conyers

Original

On July 9th, a group of Veterans For Peace members, including myself, met with House Judiciary Committee Chairman Congressman Conyers to hear his plans regarding impeachment. This was a follow up to our previous meeting with him at which we presented a petition calling for impeachment with over 23,000 signatures on June 11th. At that meeting, he promised to reveal to us his plans when we met next. His “plans” were non-existent; his excuse was that he had not made a decision yet. Of course, every day he doesn't impeach, he is deciding not to. The Real News Network covered the meeting and captured it well with this video:

Stalling On Impeachment


I got the impression that Conyers is going senile. If he really thinks as slow as he talks, we're in a lot of trouble. Most of his staff seem to be in favor of impeachment and are just waiting for the word. A couple of them even thanked us for being there and being so strong in our convictions. For a long time, Pelosi has been saying that impeachment is “off the table” and has obeyed every command from the administration, so it's safe to say that they have her by the balls. She bought the speakership by raising money for her fellow Democrats, and there have got to be a lot of financial skeletons in her closet. The only question is, has Pelosi actually convinced him that impeachment isn't strategically wise, or is someone threatening him? I wouldn't put it past Bush's cronies to even go after his family.

He told us at that meeting that he wanted to meet with us again on July 25th. We were pretty pissed to put it mildly. More run around from another spineless Democrat. More posturing from this sorry excuse for an opposition party. Don't they get it that when we can see through their BS so easily it doesn't work? Remember the country having a good laugh when Clinton and Obama made nice in Unity, New Hampshire? If there was a city named Obvious Crude Political Calculation, it would be overrun by Democrats. I really hope they don't keep control of the Congress.

Conyers canceled that meeting with us to announce that his committee will be holding a hearing that day on “the Imperial Presidency of George W. Bush and possible legal responses.” That's like someone who is getting robbed at gun point calling their Mom to discuss calling the cops. Does he really think that this is going to make the Democrats look good? I hope he is aware that after writing impeachment articles for Nixon, his party had a sweeping electoral victory. Likewise for the Republicans with Clinton.

The press release (below) brags about all of the violations of the Constitution by this administration that the judiciary committee has “conducted extensive oversight into.” Basically, “Yes, we're keeping track of how bad we're getting screwed.” He presented us with an even more extensive list of things the committee has looked into at our last meeting, as if it would appease us. Of course, they have failed to do anything about any of them. What's the point of oversight if you don't do anything when you discover a crime has been committed?

This is too disgusting for words. I want to vomit. I will be there on the 25th anyway to continue to push for impeachment, but I'm not holding my breath, and I'll have to hold my nose. Of course, the ultimate reason that our government is corrupt is because our culture is corrupt. If we held our representatives in Congress accountable, they might be inclined to hold the President accountable. But then, if we were paying attention, and doing our duty as citizens, we wouldn't have Bush for a president in the first place.

Adam--And All...

I believe your last sentence about says it all. Yes, the Democrats are worthless as an opposition(?) party and the culture is corrupt and, I might add, in a Zombie-like state. It's easy to point out all the flaws and weaknesses of Congress because they are constantly being displayed; however, the apathy and programmed minds of "Joe Six Pack" and "Amelia Idol" are more covert and sinister in their complicity in the country's takeover.

So...How do we reach the population that needs a real wake-up call? How do we overcome the sloth, denial, lack of interest, and ignorance of a part of the population who STILL vote for those who would harm them most? How do we--in a nutshell--overcome "The Program" that they have accepted about party line, "America: Love It or Leave It" and "My Country Right or Wrong" mentalities?

I might add that what I'm writing not only is about the "asleep", it is also about the "sleepwalkers" who think they are awake but are still being manipulated at a subconscious level. Example: Obama is still being portrayed as our "best chance for change". Compare his views and stances with a Dennis Kucinich, Cynthia McKinney, or a Ralph Nader and smell the beans.

The fear tactic this go 'round is similar to last go 'round when "If you don't vote for Kerry, Bush will get in again." Well, you can see how much good that did. This time it's: "If you don't vote for Obama then McCain will get in." It seems to me that at some point this circle of fears about winning or losing MUST be broken if we are going to show our voices when the votes are counted. When will the nose-holding and worrying about the outcome end? For me it is THIS go 'round!

Who defines "far left"

and why do we (the dems) accept, after all this time, this definition? why arent' the dems proud to be dems? Why do they still quake and fear what rush might say about them?

I agree with you completely. Have pissed off many friends by pointing out severe flaws in Obama and getting the same line that you wrote.

I'd rather have a weak, senile mccain, maybe it will hasten the real and total collapse from which we can rebuild!

just saying

Congress

John J. Coghlan

We were paying attention, and doing our duty as citizens. We elected Al Gore as our president, and the Supreme Court decided to install George Bush instead.

I strongly believe that Congress is being blackmailed by the Bush Administration. Wire taping was going on before 9/11, and I think they have information on everybody. They have gathered the information to criminally indite, or at least destroy the political carriers,of most politicians. The anthrax letters sent to Democrats who were questioning the run up to war, sends a message to everyone, that they will not hesitate to kill you, if you get in their way. There can not be any other explanation for the strange behavior of Congress. We must tell them that their petty crimes, and sexual indiscretions are going to be exposed eventually anyway. I'm sure what the administration has on them is quite small, in comparison to being an accomplice to war crimes, torture, illegal spying, murder, and treason, by refusing to do their job? When the long list of crimes is laid out against the Administration during impeachment hearings, people will not even pay attention to the small little things that the Bush Administration has against Congress members.

Your Correct

I think the spying was in full operation in April or May of 2001,months before 9/11..

You are correct their petty crimes and sexual indiscretions are going to be exposed anyway..
It pales in comparison to being charged with aiding and abetting Bush's crimes...

Maybe they should HURRY and plea bargain...
They have very little time to do this...

The warrantless spying had to start before 9/11...

...so the Bush crime family would have the goods on key members of Congress who opposed the passage of the Constitution-shredding Patriot Act almost immediately after. And all it took to get a few stragglers in line was a little well-placed anthrax from Fort Detrick.

But here's the problem with the idea of immediate congressional plea bargains:

The key Bushco operative currently squatting in the office of Attorney General would never let it happen, because it would require putting the crimes of the Pretender-in-Chief and his handlers front and center. Can't bite the hand that feeds you, right?

It's looking more and more like the only thing we can hope for is a few compromised members of Congress to grow some cojones and start placing their country before their career by stepping up to throw the entire Bush cabal under the bus.

Then they can beg whichever court they end up in for mercy, saying they were acting in the interest of saving the Constitution and our form of government.

Seems highly improbable, but I don't think any more so than predictions of everything that has actually happened since Bushco's appointment to the White House would have sounded eight years ago.

Conyers Broke His Word to Veterans

BY canceling his meeting with the Veterans for Peace on Friday, July 25, when "should have..." John Conyers promised to report back on his decision about holding an impeachment hearing, after hearing all the testimony of high crimes, he broke his word to the veterans, meaning he will continue to "hem & haw" his way to the close of the 110th Democratic Congress without holding or scheduling a single impeachment hearing.

Conyers, now a faithful Minister at His Majesity's Court, will toss all 39 Articles of Impeachment pending in his Committee, plus all the testimony from veterans and witnesses, all the petitions, all the letters and phone calls, all of it tossed "off the table" on top of the Constitution, "out of sight, out of mind".

Look for a new Article on "WHY Cheney and Bush Should Have Been Impeached" by John Conyers Jr as a follow up to his first acclaimed Article "WHY Nixon Should Have Been Impeached" Link CLICK HERE http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/2/4/95218/85782

"Conyers" A Slang For "Excuse"

Will soon say something like this,

"We are presently...investigating...royalty rights...for song writers from...American...I..dol.

"We...don't...have...time...for...im...peach...ment. Bush has stated...that god...told him...to invade...Iran. We are...scheduling...hear...ings..to in...vestigate this...assertion."

"Now, I have a plane to catch."

In the future people will say "I was born that way what's your Conyers?"

Have these people not proven beyond a shadow of doubt that through the spying of AIPAC and the Israeli Mossad they are devoid of principles? Nothing they do makes any sense whatsoever until the factor of spying and blackmail is considered.

Once this is considered everything makes perfect sense.

So, why repeat the same thing over again with the same people and expect a different result? We have fewer days ahead than behind. Life is too short is it not?

Pelosi and company's pattern of lies and sycophantic behavior has become far too predictable and the meaning of it is crystal clear.

They have been blackmailed, bribed and complicit in grotesque criminal conspiracies against the United States and care about no one or nothing but themselves. They consistently lie and repeat the same lame excuses to "rationalize" more treason.

I don't like these people. They are not democrats, republicans or Americans. They are sub-human with no conscience whatsoever. How many innocent people have died because of them? How many innocent people have been tortured? How much more money would they steal from Americans? How much more unbelievable debt and what is yet to come?

They are the most unforgivable cowardly charlatans that I have ever seen.

I cannot advocate for the appeasement of such undesirable elements but how about offering them the opportunity of amnesty in exchange for doing something they have never tried to do before, like honoring the oath of office for a change? What kind of "business" could dual Israeli-American citizens possibly have occupying sensitive positions within the United States government and why try to conceal it?

Michael Chertoff (dual Israeli-American citizen) is the Director of "Homeland (Fatherland) Security", the same TSA Gestapo that gropes, fondles, harasses, humiliates, threatens and steals from our innocent wives and daughters at US airports.

The bogus "watch list" of over 1 million Americans routinely violates the 4th Amendment and their minimum rage goons stupidly hassle, harass and steal from innocent men, women and children at US airports everyday. As if to add insult to injury, MILLIONS of cargo containers still enter the US annually without any kind of inspection whatsoever.

Lest we forget, this is the same Attorney General Michael Chertoff who allowed the Bin Laden family to fly out of the United States with impunity during a time when all Americans were forbidden to travel by air after the "Shock and Awe" of "9-11-01".

This is also the same Michael Chertoff who ordered the release of the 5 dancing Israeli Mossad Agents who were caught red handed and arrested after being observed celebrating and filming the impact and subsequent collapse of the Twin Towers. They weren't just arrested, they had with them video taped evidence (including "box cutters", C-4,$4,700 in cash and passports) of themselves celebrating on camera as the towers fell as would a demolitions team after a successful implosion. One of them even had the temerity to hold a cigarette lighter in front of the camera smiling like a kid at a rock concert.

Whatever information the entities of a foreign government is using to blackmail members of Congress with would be forgiven in return for restoring our Constitutional Rule of Law and holding the most disgusting war criminals ever seen to legal accountability and deporting immigrants of a foreign government out of our government.

Otherwise, we take the overwhelming campaign of criminal evidence against them to the International Criminal Court, offshore media outlets and even to the government of Russia. Yes, Russia.

We warn Pelosi about the need for criminal investigations about everything, including "9-11", her signing off on torture and illegal domestic spying or else.

To the sycophantic right wing: Please do not attempt to annoy with bogus accusations of "anti-Semitism" boulderdash. That old Edsel is so used up that it cannot hold oil. Zionists have less claim to Judaism than the Ku Klux Klan has to Christianity.

Zionists have caused the deaths of over 1 million innocent Iraqi men, women, children, destroyed over 5 million more, defrauded our military community, caused the deaths of over 4,100 soldiers, permanently maimed over 40,000 more soldiers, stole over 5 trillion dollars, contaminated the rule of civilized law, customized the defrauded United States into the most despised rouge nation in the world and contaminated our communications media. All of this plus more for a illegal war of aggression based on lies.

And THAT constitutes a certifiable Holocaust.

When soldiers take the sacred oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign or domestic, we do not take an oath to defend corrupted political parties, oil companies or evil men.

The civilized world is fed up with corrupted chicken hawk politicians and their bovine excrement. People like us who care about the integrity of United States sovereignty are fed up with them. It is not humanly possible for me to care less about corrupted members of Congress' stupid sex problems or Israeli-AIPAC blackmail.

If Israel is warped enough to start another reckless war of aggression based on the same Iraq lies against Iran, (Iran has not invaded anyone for over 300 years) threaten to murder Iran's innocent civilians and threaten Russia's financial interests then Israel should take responsibility for it's reckless behavior alone. No more exploitation of our soldiers for Israel.

How about it?

Look in the mirror.

John J. Coghlan

I do not know what, if anything, the involvement of Israel has been in putting us in our present position. It is true that Israel, as a foreign nation, has to much influence in Washington.Like the pharmaceutical industry, the tobacco industry, and many others, citizens who support Israel have a right to partition, and lobby our government. Shot of bribery, or illegal activity, influencing our leaders and encouraging them to represent our positions, and interests, is the American way. Our Democracy was founded on that principal. It is rather shot sighted of us, to blame all of our own problems on someone else. Israel does have one of the best spy organizations, but the illegal spying on us was mostly orchestrated by Dick Cheney, and George Bush, who are not Zionists, and only support Israel when it is in their own best interests to do so. We did not invade Iraq for the sake of Israel. We invaded it to take control of their oil, and to establish permanent military bases in that area. Military Bases in Iraq have little to do with Israel, and everything to do with controlling the oil of the entire Middle East.

The group of men who were videoing the fall of the World Trade Center, and joyfully celebrating its destruction, were surly a disgusting bunch. They were released, because they had broken no laws. We can not hold people in prison because we don't like them.

I think Israel's policies in regard to Palestine, Lebanon, and the surrounding territories are barbaric, and grotesque, and in the long run will not serve Israel's own best interests. I do not think we can blame everything that has happened in this country on Israel. If we want to see who is responsible for the problems of the United States, we should look in the mirror.

If Israel stupidly does the bidding for George Bush, and invades Iran, they are going to become even bigger losers than the United States over the mistake.
