Photographer for White House child sex ring arrested after Hunter Thompson suicide
From the article above:
“Cable television news reports have recently linked an alleged male prostitute to the present White House since George W. Bush permitted James Guckert to use an unprecedented Secret Service-approved alias (Jeff Gannon) while having access to the White House for two years as a pool reporter serving the younger Bush--before which Gannon had advertised himself on internet pornography sites as a male “escort” charging $200 an hour. [Gannon is the subject of independent news reports which have referred to him as the former kidnapped Des Moines, Iowa paperboy Johnny Gosch--forced into child sex-slavery.] John DeCamp told this writer “I believe Johnny Gosch and Jeff Gannon are one and the same person--but I am not in a position to know positively.” “
“George W. Bush has not explained how Guckert/Gannon--who had advertised himself as a male escort--could apparently operate in the White House as a reporter for two years using a Secret Service-approved alias and regularly be called upon by George W. Bush and press secretary Scott McClellan during nationally televised presidential press conferences.”

The real slide is that of the United States as,
Report thislike Israel,it becomes an aggressive, military and fascist State. Pederasty becomes “gay,” military aggression becomes pre-emptive, freedom becomes prison and torture for some of our citizens. And of course the enemy is “not like us humans.”

Senator George Allen of Virginia failed to report options as required by congressional rules. Perhaps Allen’s moneygate is in the making.

While they kept talking value, god, jesus, christianity.........the world sees war on false pretense, Abu Ghraid, renditions, indiscriminate bombing aka “shock and awe”, Foleygate, Abramnoff, dollar devaluation......
When sleezy politicians talk about god and jesus, watch out. These immoral, lawless, corrupted and blood thirst lots will take US of A down the sewer.

One would wish the American people, or those polled anyway, would show slightly more upset when the soon-to-be Attorney General of the United States declares that the nature of the war on terror makes existing laws and international agreements irrelevant. (In answer to why Mr. Bush and others can commit war crimes and not be held accountable.) Jan., 2002.
But alas, that and other alarming revelations scarcely register a blip on polling screens. Foley’s dalliances affect maybe 5 young men, (Hastert’s “cover-up” is politics as usual) and people go ballistic, aided and abetted by a rapacious media of course - whereas, an American president free to commit war crimes affects and effects more than this space can accomodate.

Just think, one month and the Republican Congress is no more, which means that the impeachment of George Bush moves from the back to the front burner, after which he’ll be on his way to the International Court of Criminal Justice at the Hague, where he’ll go on trial for his crimes against humanity. Couldn’t happen to a more deserving guy.
