Oh snap. Kuchinich ja. En av de kandidatene som fikk lite dekning. Prøvd det mot Cheney allerede og det ser ytterst tvilsomt ut.

Kucinich has introduced a similar impeachment resolution against Vice President Cheney. That resolution was referred to the House Judiciary Committee, which has taken no action on the measure. Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and other top House Democratic leaders have stated that there will be no consideration of impeachment proceedings against Bush, calling the idea "off the table."

Foregår dette i skrivende stund?

[tom waits for alice]

Nja, det er ikke noe som "foregår". Det som har skjedd er at en representant har stilt forslag om riksrett mot Bush. Dette er strengt tatt ikke en tiltale, men en anklage. For at det skal bli en tiltale, altså at det reises riksrettsak, må over halvparten av medlemmene av Representantenes Hus stemme for. Deretter føres saken for Senatet, der det må 2/3 flertall til for å dømme.

 

Men i dette tilfellet er det altså ikke kommer så langt. Det er bare en enkelt representant som har foreslått riksrett, og han har ikke støtte i sitt eget parti for dette. Dermed blir det ikke flertall for å reise sak, og ikke noen riksrett.

 

Det ville da også vært svært uvanlig om det skulle blitt en sak. De siste 140 årene har det bare skjedd en gang, og det var mot Clinton for falsk forklaring, men han ble ikke dømt. Nixon kunne blitt tiltalt, men han gikk av før man rakk å stemme over forslaget om å reise sak.

Synd at det ikke blir noen sak egentlig. Det hadde vært interessant.

[Ballemannen]

Jeg har heller ikke noen stor tro på at det blir noe av dette i det überkorrupte kjeltringmiljøet der borte, særlig etter at Nancy Pelosi sa det hun sa i november eller desember. Men alle punktene er grundig gjort rede for i DETTE dokumentet.

 

De meget spesielt interesserte kan se 4t 38min der Dennis Kucinich legger frem disse punktene HER.

 

Det jeg mener er interessant er de 3-4 punktene som har med 911 å gjøre, dette temaet som man bare ikke snakker om, særlig ikke i annet enn sarkastiske og nedlatende vendinger.

[IntelAmdAti]

Democratic Congressman Dennis Kucinich introduced 35 articles of impeachment against George W. Bush for high crimes ranging from creating a false propaganda campaign to lead the country into an illegal war to felony treason in leaking classified information of CIA operative Valerie Plame to obstructing justice of the investigation of the attacks of September 11th.

 

One might think that this would be on the front page of every newspaper and website as well as the lead story on all the major networks. THE STORY IS NOT BEING COVERED even though tonight the articles for impeachment received a co-sponsor. Rep. Robert Wexler of Florida has cosigned the article with Dennis Kucinich

 

Vi i vesten sensurerer slik kritikk vel så mye som noen andre, kanskje er det fordi vi har flere hemmeligheter å skjule?

Har heller ikke sett denne saken i noen norske medier.

[tom waits for alice]

Det er jo strengt tatt ikke noen "sak" her. Ingen av punktene er nye, de har vært diskutert i media og på nettet i årevis. Hadde det faktisk vært en sjans i havet for at det ble riksrett, hadde det nok havnet i avisene. Men hittil er det kanskje bare 2-3 av 435 representanter som synes dette er en god idé.

Jeg har jo tross alt allerede gitt link til CBS. Det blir dekket, men dette er en liten sak. Det er ikke noe stor nyhet.

[Ballemannen]

Jeg bare slenger ut noen sitater som jeg synes er passende

 

The major media are large corporations, owned by and interlinked with even larger conglomerates. Like other corporations, they sell a product to a market. The market is advertisers - that is, other businesses. The product is audiences, [and] for the elite media, [they're] relatively privileged audiences. So we have major corporations selling fairly wealthy and privileged audiences to other businesses. Not surprisingly, the picture of the world presented reflects the narrow and biased interests and values of the sellers, the buyers and the product.

 

og

 

The media serve the interests of state and corporate power, which are closely interlinked, framing their reporting and analysis in a manner supportive of established privilege and limiting debate and discussion accordingly.

I think democracy fails under a variety of conditions and one of the conditions occurs when people don't have the ability to get the kind of information they need to make up their mind. Ideologically, I don't care much for FOX News. But the truth is that, as long as there are countervailing points of view available on the spectrum, it doesn't matter.

The Gulf War ... was made popular by an immense propaganda barrage unleashed by the Pentagon, the media, and government, creating an ideological milieu in which 45 percent of the population said it would be prepared to use nuclear weapons against Iraq. Military actions were, transformed into a grotesque national spectacle, a great celebration of war-making.

They just don't come in contact with people not in their [income] bracket. They've lost touch with their community.

The press ... traditionally sides with authority and the establishment.

One of the intentions of corporate-controlled media is to instill in people a sense of disempowerment, of immobilization and paralysis. Its outcome is to turn you into good consumers. It is to keep people isolated, to feel that there is no possibility for social change.

The cost of being presented as a " responsible and serious candidate" by the media [is] usually to show fundamental agreement with the existing distribution of wealth and power.

In the United States, both the Republican and Democratic Parties, with only a few prominent exceptions, have been and are in the pay of the corporate media and communication giants.
