AMERICA'S DARTH VADER / DICK CHENEY

AMERICA'S DARTH VADER / DICK CHENEY

Allen L. ROLAND

As I have said for years, Dick Cheney's fingerprints are on virtually every lie and abuse of power committed by the corrupt Cheney/Bush administration. Seymour Hersh's recent revelations about an 'executive assassination ring' that directly reported to Cheney is another strong indication of Cheney's shadow presidency ~ which will eventually be linked to the 9/11 conspiracy or cover up: Allen L Roland

By 2008, Vice President Dick Cheney's shadow presidency was in full view ~ it answered to no one and that included the President. Remember, Cheney asserted in June, 2007 that his office is not a part of the executive branch of the U.S. government, and therefore not bound by a presidential order governing the protection of classified information by government agencies ~ http://www.commondreams.org/archive/2007/06/21/2021/

T.D. Allman / Rolling Stone / in an article entitled The Curse of Dick Cheney summed up Cheney's slide to the dark side ~ " As vice president, Cheney was the decisive force pushing America into war. In the inner councils of the administration, it was he who emasculated Colin Powell, cut the State Department out of effective policymaking, foisted fake reports on the intelligence agencies and supplanted the National Security Council.

It was also Cheney who placed appointees personally loyal to him, including Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz, in charge of the Pentagon and speckled the warmaking bureaucracy with desk officers culled from neoconservative Washington think tanks ~ ideologues with no military experience ~ Those who have known him over the years remain astounded by what they describe as his almost autistic indifference to the thoughts and feelings of others " http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/story?id=6450422

But legendary investigative reporter Seymour Hersh, on March 10th dropped another bombshell regarding Cheney at a “Great Conversations” event at the University of Minnesota.

In response to a question if executive abuse of power still happens today, Hersh replied ~
“Yuh. After 9/11, I haven’t written about this yet, but the Central Intelligence Agency was very deeply involved in domestic activities against people they thought to be enemies of the state. Without any legal authority for it. They haven’t been called on it yet. That does happen.

"Right now, today, there was a story in the New York Times that if you read it carefully mentioned something known as the Joint Special Operations Command -- JSOC it’s called. It is a special wing of our special operations community that is set up independently. They do not report to anybody, except in the Bush-Cheney days, they reported directly to the Cheney office. They did not report to the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff or to Mr. [Robert] Gates, the secretary of defense. They reported directly to him. ...

"Congress has no oversight of it. It’s an executive assassination ring essentially, and it’s been going on and on and on. Just today in the Times there was a story that its leaders, a three star admiral named [William H.] McRaven, ordered a stop to it because there were so many collateral deaths.

Under President Bush’s authority, they’ve been going into countries, not talking to the ambassador or the CIA station chief, and finding people on a list and executing them and leaving. That’s been going on, in the name of all of us." Bush 'executive assassination ring' reported directly to Cheney office: Seymour Hersh

Starting with the infamous Office of Special Projects which fed tainted Iraq intelligence directly to Cheney's office, to the outing of Valerie Plame which led to the indictment of Cheney's top Aide Scooter Libby ~ we then had the emergence of David Addington who answered only to Cheney and has been at the center of nearly every controversy shaking the White House.

Once again ~ This was a Dick Cheney Administration and Bush was its cheerleader . All marching orders came from Cheney ~ and then, in 2003, Ron Hutcheson, Philadelphia Inquirer, added more validity to this naked truth by stating that the Torture memos, spying, Guantanamo can all be traced to Cheney's top aide, David Addington. See BUSH RESELLING CHENEY'S WAR ~http://blogs.salon.com/0002255/2006/03/23.html

It stands to reason that if Cheney felt he had the power to eliminate anyone on the planet, he could certainly have easily outed Valerie Plame without conscience and he most certainly could have played a key role in the 9/11 cover up or conspiracy as a justification for attacking Iraq and seizing its oil reserves

It tells you alot about the darkness of Cheney's mind that the first thing to come to his mind when looking for bright spots in his term of office was 9/11 ~ as revealed in a Chris Wallace interview on Fox news in December, 2008.

The former head of the Star Wars missile defense program under Presidents Ford and Carter, Dr Robert M Bowman, Lt. Col., USAF, ret, has gone public to say that the official version of 9/11 is a conspiracy theory and his main suspect for the architect of the attack is Vice President Dick Cheney.

Bowman is no lightweight ~ He flew 101 combat missions in Vietnam. He is the recipient of the Eisenhower Medal, the George F. Kennan Peace Prize, the President’s Medal of Veterans for Peace, the Society of Military Engineers Gold Medal (twice), six Air Medals, and dozens of other awards and honors. His Ph.D. is in Aeronautics and Nuclear Engineering from Caltech. He chaired 8 major international conferences, and is one of the country’s foremost experts on National Security.

If Cheney, who already had control of the government, orchestrated or at the least allowed the 9/11 attacks to occur, and remember he was in total control of the situation room during part of the so-called attacks ~ it would make total sense that he would go out of his way to justify this action by blatantly pushing for an attack on Iraq ~ which is what he subsequently did.

So what was Bush obliviously waiting for in that classroom in Florida, while supposedly reading the book My Pet Goat, which was upside down, and America was under attack ? He was waiting for instructions from Cheney ~ who had already seized control of the government as shadow president.

Here's another confirming view about Cheney's shadow government that answered to no-one including the President ~ " Dick Cheney was running a completely separate chain of Command & Control via the Secret Service, assuring the paralysis of Air Force response on 9/11. The Secret Service has the technology to see the same radar screens the FAA sees in real time. They also have the legal authority and technological capability to take supreme command in cases of national emergency. Dick Cheney was the acting Commander in Chief on 9/11."

Evidently, Bush was kept purposely out of the 9/11 loop by Cheney which is why Cheney resisted being interviewed under oath by the 9/11 commission and insisted that he and Bush be interviewed together.

As such, 9/11 was indeed Dick Cheney's bright spot or big moment and he obviously took full advantage of it ~ and we are still paying the price for his deceptions.
