Sludge Report #143
Think People!!! The Fix Was In
Watching the television coverage of Jeb Bush’s victory in Florida yesterday was stomach turningly unpleasant.
George senior, Poppy embraced his son in a god-father like embrace. The gangster comparison would be apt but for its
unfairness to organised crime. At least the mafia’s drug dealing murderers do not pretend to be anything else.
In the images off the satellite from Florida, Sludge could see arguably the most ruthless and successful drug dealing
murderer of all time - former CIA don, Iran-Contra architect and bin Laden’s recruiter – Poppy Bush embracing his second
small minded, bigoted, deceitful and corrupt son. And all the time posing as the defenders of democracy and world peace.
You only need to look at Jeb’s podgy cheeks, squinty eyes and slimy grin to know that he is a person who deserves about
as little trust as any politician alive.
Which begs the question, how could the people of Florida and America have done this? Again?
CNN’s John King then pondered whether Jeb, in the wake of his victory, might now be considering following in his big
brother’s footsteps with a shot at the White House come 2008. At which point Sludge, chocking back the bile, made a
quick sign of the cross. God forbid!
In answering the question of how this can have happened Sludge can provide several answers. None of them at all
satisfying. In fact, all of which are deeply disturbing.
Firstly there is the abject corruption of the U.S. political process. A level of corruption which appears to be apparent
to everybody in the world but Americans. This is a process which is now driven exclusively by money, for the benefit of
the moneyed. In 2000 more than 80% of the successful candidates to federal positions spent the most money in their
respective race.
This is a process in which the balloting process appears to have been made excessively complicated, perhaps for the
purpose of discouraging participation, and a process in which a huge majority of the U.S. public have declared their
contempt through staying away from the ballot box.
Secondly there is the complete spinelessness of the U.S. Democratic Party who in spite of being given all the ammunition
they could possibly need to expose the illegitimacy of the Bush Administration (just search Google for “Bush AWOL”,
“Harken”, “Halliburton” or “Enron White House” – or read the second part of this column), chose instead to give
bi-partisan support to an illegal war and a foreign policy that seeks to destroy global collective security via the
United Nations.
And then there is the influence of fraud, organised crime & vote rigging.
“Too harsh”, I hear the naysayers say.
But no, think about it a bit more. Follow some of the links embedded below, and do some research of your own – and then
decide for yourself. The Bush Family is not known as the Bush Family Evil Empire (BFEE) for nothing.
For starters there is the experience of Florida voters in 2000, and the lessons it taught about the electoral ethics of
the Bush family. It is sufficient here to observe that two years after the fiasco of Florida in which 91,000 voters were
illegally disenfranchised, the predominantly black disenfranchised voters remain disenfranchised.

Then there is the remarkable (and largely untold) story of the ownership of the company that makes new electronic voting
machines that were used crucially in Texas, Florida and Georgia in yesterday’s poll.
“The McCarthy Group has been a primary owner of Election Systems & Software, including its predecessor, American Information Systems for more than a decade. Michael R. McCarthy is the
current campaign Treasurer for Republican senator Chuck Hagel. Prior to his election, Republican Senator Hagel was
president of McCarthy & Company. In fact, he was first elected while his own company was making the vote-counting machines.”
http://www.scoop.co.nz/mason/stories/HL0210/S00044.htm)
We have at least here prima facie cause for concern. Add in the fact that rather than undergo scrutiny, the voting
machine manufacturers now prefer to seek to intimidate the person who bravely brought this information to light.
http://www.scoop.co.nz/mason/stories/WO0211/S00005.htm)
Added together here we have evidence of prior conduct, motive and opportunity.
If the Bush family was willing to fix the 2000 Florida election, why would they stop now?
And then we have the extremely suspicious death of Senator Paul Wellstone. A death which has almost certainly led to the
loss of a vital Senate seat – Wellstone had been leading in the polls at the time of his death. And a death which saw
the departure of perhaps the last remaining principled member of the Democratic congressional team, and a thorn in the
side of the Bush administration.

So was the fix in this time round too? You be the judge.

CONCLUSION: POPPY BUSH IS AN IDIOT
It is a matter of public record that former President George Bush Senior is a consultant to the Carlyle Group, a defence
contracting organisation that is presently making billions from the war on terror. (Note: in this George Herbert Walker

1942 when his operation was finally closed down.)
CONCLUSION: POPPY BUSH (LIKE GRAND-POPPY) IS A WAR PROFITEER

knowing the company was in trouble and then did not file the required returns.
CONCLUSION: PRESIDENT BUSH IS A INSIDER TRADER
It is a matter of public record that current President George Bush Junior has publicly declared war on corporate
malfeasance, but has in fact appointed people to conduct this war who themselves oversaw corporate malfeasance as
directors of public corporations (Deputy Attorney General Larry Thompson and accounting profession overseer William H.
Webster).
CONCLUSION: PRESIDENT BUSH IS A HYPOCRITE
It is a matter of public record that current President and Commander in Chief George Bush Junior – though aware that a
plane had already crashed into the World Trade Center - went ahead with a meeting with primary school aged children and
listened to a story about a goat as a second hijacked aeroplane headed for and then crashed into the World Trade Center.
Moreover it is a matter of public record that after he was told of the second plane crash he simply nodded and continued
to listen to the story about the goat for another 10 minutes, 10 minutes during which you might have thought he would be
concerned about his country.
CONCLUSION: PRESIDENT BUSH IS EITHER AN IDIOT OR A TRAITOR
It is a matter of public record that current President and Commander in Chief George Bush Junior’s administration led

into 911 to proceed, and then at the 11th hour had his minions shoot it down.
CONCLUSION: PRESIDENT BUSH HAS SOMETHING TO HIDE
It is a matter of public record that Vice President Dick Cheney was the CEO of Halliburton at a time when it engaged in

CONCLUSION: VICE PRESIDENT CHENEY IS A CORPORATE WRONGDOER
It is a matter of public record that Vice President Dick Cheney consulted extensively with Enron executives on his
energy policy during a period when California was being rorted by Enron subsidiaries, and that he has since refused to
divulge details of these meetings.
CONCLUSION: VICE PRESIDENT CHENEY IS AT BEST A CORPORATE CRONY, AND PROBABLY AN ACCESSORY TO THE BIGGEST CORPORATE
RIPOFF OF ALL TIME
It is a matter of public record that Vice President Dick Cheney is even now, two years after his election as
Vice-President, being paid a fortune by his former employer Halliburton, a company that is making a fortune providing
logistical services to the U.S. military in the war in Afghanistan.
CONCLUSION: VICE PRESIDENT CHENEY IS A WAR PROFITEER
And in case you were wondering, these are the people who now rule the world.
And you still think these people aren’t capable of fixing an election?
