How To Distance Yourself Further

From The Electorate - George W. Bush

Comparing Bush to Hitler.....Treason?

Having seen more and more frequent headlines comparing George W. Bush to Adolf Hitler, it would seem treasonous unless one took the time to research the similarities.

The following observations have been verified by historical documentation combined with and objective and logical reasoning, without political bias:

Bush was not elected by a majority, but engaged in political maneuvering in order to gain office.

Bush began to curtail civil liberties in response to the 9-11 attack.

Bush has increased his popularity with conservative voters by mounting an aggressive public relations campaign against perceived foreign "enemies " to justify a continuing military buildup.

Bush has promoted militarism to help subsidize defense industries (Halliburton, Bechtel, Carlyle Group, et al). He has now turned to the very same corporations to rebuild Iraq, without competitive bidding and at amazing profit margins, paid by U.S. taxpayers.

Bush primarily serves wealthy investors who subsidize his election campaigns.

Bush sees our historic destiny as a religious cause sanctioned by God, citing "good" and "evil."

Bush promotes a future world order that promotes U.S. supremacy rather than cooperative harmony with other sovereign nations.

Bush promotes, makes and breaks diplomatic ties and offers generous promises that he soon abandons, as in recent cases with Mexico, Russia, Afghanistan, and several Central American countries.

Bush has scrapped several international treaties for example: the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty, the Biological Weapons Convention, the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, the Convention on the Prohibition of Land Mines, the Chemical Weapons Convention, the Kyoto Global Warming Accord, and the International Criminal Court.

Bush has repeated lies often enough that the general public has accepted as the truth.

Bush continues to rationalize invading Iraq even though his initial "justification" has been widely discredited.

Bush emphasizes the barbaric behavior of the "enemy"in order to justify his own by emphasizing Hussein’s crimes against humanity over the past twenty-five years. However, these crimes were for the most part committed when Iraq was a client-ally of the U.S. Our government supplied Hussein with illegal weapons (poison gas included), and there were sixty U.S. advisors in Iraq when these weapons were put to use (see NY Times, Aug. 18, 1992). U.S. aid to Iraq was actually doubled afterwards despite disclaimers from Washington that our nation opposed their use.

Bush continues to pursue a prohibitively expensive occupation of Iraq and as a result, President Clinton’s $350 billion budget surplus has been reduced to a $450 billion deficit, comprising an unprecedented $800 billion decline in less than four years. At the same time the U.S. dollar has steadily dropped against currencies of both Europe and Japan. The Iraq invasion was, by definition, a war crime as explained by Articles 41 and 42 of the U.N. Charter, which require two votes, not one, by the Security Council before any state takes such an action. Other nations on the Security Council were satisfied with the findings of U.N. inspectors that no weapons of mass destruction had been found.

Bush launched a unilateral invasion on a supposedly "preemptive" basis, despite a complete lack of evidence to support this claim.

Bush is willing to inflict high levels of casualties against innocent civilians. For every U.S. fatality, as many as forty Iraqi civilians have been killed by the U.S. military machine.

Bush is a proponent of “regime change” by installing American supported governments backed by American military occupation with political and economic control of the subject country.

Bush has endorsed Guantanamo, Abu Ghraib, and many other secret interrogation centers across the world. Prisoners at the camps go unidentified and have no legal rights as ordinarily guaranteed by the Geneva Conventions. Many Iraqi prisoners have been tortured and as many as forty have died while being tortured. Not a shining example of our way of life.

Bush uses fear and the "threat of enemies abroad" to stir allegiance to his cause and to "keep the war over there." He also uses the threat of terrorism to justify extraordinary domestic powers granted by the Patriot Act.

Bush has become obsessed with his vision of "good" (U.S. patriotism) and "evil" (anti-Americanism).

Bush takes pleasure in cowboy stories and exaggerates a cowboy twang despite his C-average elitist education at Andover, Yale, and Harvard, provided and paid for by his father.

Bush misconstrues Darwinism by rejecting science for fundamentalist creationism.

Every one of the above statements about George W. Bush and his administration, points to another former "leader" who convinced a population of 70 million German Christians to accomplish one of the largest genocides in history and cause the deaths of approximately 56,125,262 people. This was achieved using the same methods and actions as described above.

The similarities speak for themselves and only an apathetic, blindly loyal and unquestioning populace could let it happen again.
