Faithful Readers,"Celebrating the central Christian holiday, and even
saying "Merry Christmas" has become a political act in 2005.Why has this
happened? The answer isn't pretty.The world financial elite wants to eradicate
Christianity. Their forerunners crucified Christ. Christianity gives everyone a
piece of the pie of life and elitists want it all for themselves."This new

Subject: US Joint Chiefs of Staff - ''They know militarily they
can't winthis''. FPF: THE STORY IS BY AP, AN OFFICIAL US/PNAC PROPAGANDA SEWER - SO YOU HAVE TO WATCH OUT: Murtha Says He's not to BlameAssociated Press | January 06, 2006 - WASHINGTON - Rep. John Murtha says the military is blaming him for a recruitment slump instead of recognizing mistakes that have led to an enlistment shortage. "They're trying to direct attention away from their problems," said Murtha, D-Pa., a decorated Marine Corps veteran who has become a leading voice in Congress advocating an early withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq. Gen. Peter Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said during a news conference Thursday that Murtha's remarks about Iraq are damaging to troop morale and to the Army's efforts to bring up recruitment numbers. Pace, the nation's top general, was asked specifically about an ABC News interview this week in which Murtha, 73, said if he were eligible to join the military today he would not join, nor would he expect others to join. "That's damaging to recruiting," Pace said. "It's damaging to morale of the troops who are deployed, and it's damaging to the morale of their families who believe in what they are doing to serve this country." Military officers usually are reluctant to get drawn into political debates, but Pace said Murtha's remarks about recruiting are relevant to his responsibilities as Joint Chiefs chairman. Pace praised the congressman's record but criticized his remarks. "When a respected leader like Mr. Murtha, who has spent 37 extremely honorable years as a Marine, ... has served the country extremely well in the Congress of the United States - when a respected individual like that says what he said, and 18- and 19-year-olds look to their leadership to determine how they are expected to act, they can get the wrong message," Pace said. In a statement released Thursday, Murtha said: "The military had no problem recruiting directly after 9/11 because everyone understood that we had been attacked. But now the military's ability to attract recruits is being hampered by the prospect of prolonged, extended and repeated deployments, inadequate equipment, shortened home stays, the lack of any connection between Iraq and the brutal attacks of 9/11, and - most importantly - the administration's constantly changing, undefined, open-ended military mission in Iraq." LATER THURSDAY, MURTHA SAID HE'S SPOKEN WITH MILITARY LEADERS AND "THEY'RE FRUSTRATED BY THEIR MISSION." Speaking before a town hall meeting on Iraq in Arlington, Va., hosted by Rep. Jim Moran, D-Va., Murtha said Pace called him to discuss the war. "Peter Pace told me this last night: They know militarily they can't win this," Murtha said. Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld and others at the Pentagon, including Pace, have said repeatedly that victory in Iraq will not be achieved by U.S. forces defeating the insurgency militarily but rather by U.S. forces providing the Iraqis the military, political and economic wherewithal to overcome the insurgency. During the Pentagon news conference Thursday, Pace also predicted that the Saddam Hussein loyalists and other Iraqis who comprise the great bulk of the insurgency will increasingly give up, now that Iraq has approved its own constitution and held elections. Pace said he believes the violence, which flared anew Thursday on one of the bloodiest days in Iraq in months, will abate as more Iraqis become convinced that the December elections will produce a representative government that will improve their lives. "As they see their own government providing a way ahead that all of their citizens can understand as progress for their country, ... those who are fighting against the government right now who are Iraqis will more and more lay down their arms and decide to become part of the future of Iraq and not the past," Pace said.

From Capitol Hill Blue, which I like. Because he is one of those genuine people who experienced it, he knows what he's 'ranting' about, so we'll understand: The Rant I have met the enemy and he was meBy DOUG THOMPSON Publisher, Capitol Hill Blue Jan 6, 2006, 07:58 - The ever-widening Jack Abramoff scandal gives Americans a glimpse of just how the money game is played in politics but influence peddling goes far beyond one disgraced lobbyist. Money, someone once said, is the mother¹s milk of politics and our elected officials have been sucking on the tits of political motherhood for a long, long time. I know. I was one of those who bought and sold politicians. For five years, I ran the political programs division of the giant National Association of Realtors, an 800,000 plus member association with a multi-million dollar political action committee that could lavish incredible largesse on elections. In 1988, we gave the maximum contributions allowed by law to 432 out of 435 Congressional races and every Senate race contested that year. We spent another $1.7 million on ³independent expenditure² campaigns that helped determine the outcome of three Senate and four Congressional races. The Realtors were a feared political force, an 800-pound gorilla that could muster money and manpower in any state or congressional district. In 1987, a member of the House Ways & Means Committee casually mentioned to one of our lobbyists that they were considering repealing mortgage interest tax deductibility, a sacred cow to the real instate industry. So we went into the district of every member of the committee, buying massive amounts of drive-time radio ads saying: ³Did you know Congress is thinking about repealing one of the major benefits you get from owning a home the right to deduct the interest you pay on your mortgage on your taxes? We don¹t think that¹s good for you or America and we bet you don¹t either. If you agree, why not call (insert name of Congressman) at (phone number) and tell them to oppose repeal of your benefits of home ownership.² We booked two weeks of airtime but pulled the ads after just three days because the chairman of the committee called our chief lobbyists and said ³call off the dogs. This sucker is dead.² Of course, we argued the value of tax deductibility as if it were some divine right, saying it contributed to America¹s ranking as the country with the third-highest per capita home ownership in the world while never mentioning that the first and second countries (Canada and Australia) did not allow deduction of mortgage interest for tax purposes. Having that kind of power is Washington is a heady experience and, for too long, I got caught up in the adrenaline rush that comes from successfully buying votes and support. But a six-figure income and a power-tripping lifestyle could not stave off the realization that what I and others did subverted democracy and corrupted the process of government. Democracy is not served by fatcat lobbyists and associations who buy access through large campaign donations, lavish trips for elected officials and other gifts. Likewise, electing, and re-electing, those who seek and accept such things in exchange for support and votes bastardizes the process. Although I rationalized my involvement in big money politics with dismissive fake justifications like ³I didn¹t make the rules, I just play the game,² the sad fact remains that I was just as guilty of helping corrupt the very system that should serve the voters, not the well-heeled politically connected. In 1989, I debated Congressman Guy VanderJact, chairman of the National Republican Campaign Committee, at a campaign forum on the effect of money in politics. ³AS FAR AS I¹M CONCERNED, POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEES ARE JUST A BUNCH OF WHORES,² VANDERJACT SAID. ³There¹s something wrong with that analogy,² I responded. ³Where I come from, whores aren¹t the ones who pay. Whores are the ones with their hand out, asking for money in advance for a service they are only, at the time, promising to deliver. I think that when you pay out money under such circumstances, the very best you¹re ever going to get is screwed.² IT MADE A NICE SOUND BITE BUT IT DOESN¹T ERASE THE FACT THAT WHEN YOU LIE DOWN WITH DOGS YOU GET UP WITH FLEAS AND I¹M ITCHING LIKE HELL. [andend] - 2005 Capitol Hill Blue - Url.: http://tinyurl.com/96sw8 FPF: So, first you kill hundred-thousands of people, torture and jail others, loot and wreck a country in every inhuman way possible, and than the US neocons do not even help to restore life a little bit? Those malignant maniacs must be locked up as soon as is possible. This neocon cancer has to go.
