Senators Put Impeachment Back on The Table
by Leland Lehrman - leland.lehrman@gmail.com
 Two
opposing viewpoints are commonly cited when proposing the impeachment
of President Bush and Vice-President Cheney. The most often heard is
that impeachment is unrealistic or tactically inferior to some other
approach to ending the immoral “War on Terror” and its burgeoning
domestic police state apparatus. The other, inherently opposing viewpoint,
is based on the false assumption that the United States was attacked
on 9/11 by a skilled “Islamofascist” enemy and is therefore
“at war” and thus “all is fair.” However, the evidence
regarding 9/11 indicates that it was an inside job by traitorous elements
of the US and global elite orchestrated using bin Laden’s band
of delusional punks who had just the right amount of criminality to
be useful to the architects of global domination.
When on Tuesday, January 23rd at 1pm in the Capitol Rotunda, Senators
Gerald Ortiz y Pino of Albuquerque and John Grubesic of Santa Fe publicly
introduce their resolution to impeach President George Bush and Richard
Cheney, Americans will find themselves reminded that politics is an
inherently moral and principled occupation when practised by those who
have not succumbed to the dodge, feint and raise money mindset that
passes for politics in these times.
Coincidentally, the groundbreaking documentary, “Terrorstorm”
by internationally famous director Alex Jones will debut in Santa Fe
on Jan. 23rd at 7:45 pm at the Santa Fe Film Center, 1616 St. Michael’s
Drive. This film is all the proof you will ever need that governments
attack their own people to create pretexts for war and the police state.
Politics is an inherently spiritual endeavor, because perhaps more than
any other occupation, it represents the direct effort of an individual
to express a worldview within his or her community. Although the separation
of Church and State remains an essential protection for the citizenry,
it is still necessary for the body politic to express itself morally
rather than tactically, self-interestedly or not at all.
The impeachment resolution cites two specific violations of the Constitution
perpetrated by the Executive Branch: ordering torture in contravention
of international treaties which are the supreme law of the land under
Article Six and ordering illegal detentions without access to a habeas
corpus petition which violates the sixth amendment. Anyone who has read
the news even in passing these days will know that these charges are
true. The only defense the President can mount against them is that
we are at war. However this “War on Terror” was created and
is prosecuted under false pretense as hundreds of intelligence, political,
military and scholarly witnesses have proved over and again for example
in the pages of the excellent website patriotsquestion911.com.
Word has it that Senators Ortiz y Pino and Grubesic have both been overwhelmed
with supportive letters and phone calls. Why am I not surprised? Although
Congressional Democrats claim that impeachment is off the table, they
should be on alert; for their unwillingness to listen to the American
people will result in their subsequent impeachment as well.
Just look at one of the abominations the Democratic leadership muscled
through in their first one hundred hours. Called the “Implementing
the 9/11 Commission Recommendations Act,” HR 1 legislates the following
police state provisions: “…The creation of Homeland Security
identity checkpoints on America’s roads and highways. Mandatory
biometric iris and finger scanning systems at all American airports
and seaports. The creation of a national I.D. card. The expansion of
“no-fly” and “watch” lists. The implementation of
special screening for all airline passengers, which paves the way for
invasive body scanners. The federal takeover of publicly owned communications
networks and increased government surveillance of Americans’ financial
records and activities.” As Robert Jones, the astute hemp advocate
from Las Vegas, NM observed, “With friends like these, who needs
enemies?”
The impeachment of the President and Vice-President are but chess moves
in a much larger game which involves disempowering the transnational
corporate and financier elite with their Central Bank temple-fortresses
and their media conglomerates. Both parties are largely beholden to
this malicious octopus, and just as the Democratic victory in the 2006
elections was but an optimistic note in a much larger symphony, so the
impeachment is just the beginning of an international policy to put
on notice international warmongers and societal predators. This effort
is necessary for the preservation of the health and liberty of the American
people as well as Mother Earth herself. Please join us and come to the
Press Conference at the introduction of the Impeachment Resolution on
January 23rd, at 1pm in the Rotunda of the State Capitol Building. If
you cannot make the press conference but would like to support the effort,
please call Leland Lehrman at (505) 982-3609 or email leland.lehrman@gmail.com
