Another Press conference. I just put some of it on and Bush is very nasty to the press while yucking it up. People are dying in Iraq. He goes on these long tangents about liberty. When a reporter tries to cut in and ask a question-he gets pissed.
Why is Bush trying to show that he can stand before live questioners, unlike his past? He has been appearing, for years, only in front of well screened questioners, if taking any questions at all, only giving the rare press conference. Now we have him day after day, before audiences presumed to be asking the tough questions. Bush has ignored bad polls in the past, so this is unlikely to be the reason. He is known to resent being questioned on his policies, becoming enraged when challenged, so presumably would not deal with this voluntarily. If voter fraud so easily put him back in the White House in 2004, could not this be presumed to work in 2006, keeping his Republican majority in the Congress? And certainly, where talk of impeachment is being mentioned even in the major media, the current Congress will not even contemplate a censure, much less impeachment. He has avoided personal responsibility for 911, for the failures in Iraq, and for Katrina, and refused to change the tight cabal around him in the White House throughout all challenges. Why not simply continue to stay snug in the White House until the opportunity to declare himself President for life, to declare martial law, emerges? What would force this arrogant man off the booze and in front of the line of fire?
We have stated that the Puppet Master wanted Kerry in 2004, and set about
      a decapitation process to isolate
      Bush and his cohorts and make them irrelevant both within the US and the
      world. But this process has, to date, not forced Bush into the line of
      fire, defending his policies. If funds are cut off from the Federal
      Reserve, and China and other countries buying US bonds refuse to invest in
      the mounting US debt, the US can simply print money, go banana republic,
      and has planned for some time to do this, so the existing financial
      threats are not what has incited this change. We have described the hierarchy being the Puppet Master over the Puppets he
      installs into political power and as corporate heads, then the comfortable
      class and below that the working class. Bush defied the Puppet Master
      during the 2004 election, and anticipated financial punishments, as well
      as the infighting the Puppet Master is famous for and never
      loses when a fight is engaged. Is the current press in Bush to sell his
      policies to counter an anticipated attack from the Puppet Master? What has
      been neglected, in discussion of the Puppet Master and his Puppets, are
      increasingly restless groups who have received promises from Bush, which
      now seem threatened. Bribery has been the means by which Bush gained
      cooperation for his agenda. What happens when a bribe is not paid, as
      promised? 
      
      Beyond the Puppet Master and the bribed hordes being promised what Bush
      cannot deliver, are those in power who put him into the running for the
      2000 election. The Puppet Master may have to approve any candidate, but
      the selection process is more complicated. Do you suppose that the Puppet
      Master simply reached down and selected Putin to lead Russia? Putin beat
      out competitors, based on who was to gain if he was in power. Those who
      put Bush into the White House in 2000 arranged for Cheney and Rumsfeld to
      be part of the administration, and set this Bush crowd on their agenda.
      They are concerned about their position in the near future, and
      are strong arming Bush. He has been given an ultimatum - either push up
      your polls and show leadership, or anticipate being taken down by a number
      of means. Everyone assumes Bush has an agenda, when he is only the front
      for an ambitious interest group. Look to the military industrial complex,
      the contracts given to Halliburton, the carte blanche to the oil industry
      to reap immense profits, the relaxing of pollution controls, and allowing
      cheap labor into the country without constraints. Who stands to win re
      this? Certainly not Bush or his administration, per se. 
      
      As Hitler showed, he was manipulated by those who stood behind him,
      outside of the public view. These hands are almost always secret, unknown
      to the public, and highly ambitious. This group hopes to recoup their
      losses, seeing the state of affairs under Bush and Cheney and Rumsfeld.
      They see the press for public awareness on voter fraud, and understand
      that the Puppet Master could easily outmaneuver them on voter fraud,
      putting Bush at risk after the 2006 elections. In fact, those in charge of
      running elections in the states may outmaneuver voter fraud, putting in
      safe guards and paper trails, given the public sentiment and exposure in
      the press regarding the dangers of electronic voting without a paper
      trail. They cannot count on control of the US government for long, given
      the state of affairs. Bush will not change the tight cabal around him out
      of insecurity, his insecure personality, and will not dump Cheney or
      Rumsfeld. In any case bringing in new blood risks the newcomers knowing
      the dirty secrets that Bush and those close to him hold tight. Thus, with
      every resignation, they compress closer around Bush, shuffling assignments
      if necessary, Rice taking Powell's position as Secretary of State, for
      instance, and her assistant taking hers at NSA. Bush seems unlikely to win
      in future, is rigid and will not change, and thus the group who has a
      vested interest in the Bush agenda succeeding is alarmed. 
      
      Where the Puppet Master does not plan to assassinate Bush, given the
      choices in ascension, preferring decapitation, the vested interest group
      behind the scenes is desperate and does not want the Puppet Master's plan
      to succeed. They would lose all, in a decapitation that negates any
      influence over matters that Bush can assert as President. An upset, a
      changing of the guard, such as they might attempt, will hardly change the
      public perception that all is well in Washington. In fact, it will show
      the manipulation behind the scenes, and make the public even more
      suspicious of any activity in Washington. Would Cheney be a
      better President? His polls are at 18% approval, vs 36% for Bush. Would
      taking them both out reassure the public and gain cooperation among those
      in Washington already revolting from White House rule? This is likely to
      alarm, and create an impasse, in Washington, decapitation come early.
      There are few choices available to this vested interest group, but the
      status quo is alarming, thus threats and ultimatums have emerged.
      Assassination, heart attack or a stroke, mental breakdown, all these are
      cards on the table, per the edict that has been given to Bush by this
      vested interest group. Bush is thus mustering a show of strength, all the
      while looking angry and deadly serious, as for him this is a deadly
      serious matter!

- Bush Defends Decisions on Iraq War [Mar 21] http://apnews.myway.com/ 'President Bush said Tuesday the decision about when to withdraw all U.S. troops from Iraq will fall to future presidents and Iraqi leaders, suggesting that U.S. involvement will continue at least through 2008. Acknowledging the public's growing unease with the war - and election-year skittishness among fellow Republicans - the president nonetheless vowed to keep U.S. soldiers in the fight. He also stood by embattled Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld. The news conference marked a new push by Bush to confront doubts about his strategy in Iraq.' [and from another] http://www.msnbc.msn.com/ [Mar 18] 'A bitterly divided electorate gives President George W. Bush an approval rating of only 36 percent in the latest NEWSWEEK poll, matching the low point in his presidency recorded last November. His image as an effective leader in the war on terror is tarnished, with less than half the public (44 percent) approving of the way he's handling terrorism and homeland security. Despite a series of presidential speeches meant to bolster support for the war in Iraq, as well as the announcement of a major military offensive when the poll was getting under way, only 29 percent of the people questioned approved Bush's handling of the situation in Iraq. Fully 65 percent disapprove. The way the president has dealt with issues at home hasn't brought him much support either. His approval ratings for the handling of energy policy (28 percent) and health care (28 percent) were new lows, while approval on the economy (36 percent) mirrored his overall rating.'
