More on the FALSE, MALICIOUS, PERJUROUS prosecution of Alabama Dem. Governor DON SEIGELMAN by Karl Rove's friends in Alabama US DA's office -

Here is the shortest, most concise summary yet on the KARL ROVE LYNCH-MOB Republican partisan PROSECUTION of former Alabama Democratic Governor DON SIEGELMAN.
http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2008-12-20/karl-rove-destroyed-my-life/

As a "Liberal," "Democrat" (Jewish, even) governor of a DEEP SOUTH STATE, Don Siegelman was in 2002 a huge target of the Bush-Cheney-ROVE Republican SMEAR, SLIME, and DESTROY campaign, that same awful year that saw
#1. the DEATH of Senator Paul Wellstone in the final weeks as he was cruising to an easy re-election in Minnesota (and his memory would be SMEARED by the Karl Rove Republicans to assist Norm Coleman's race when Minnesota favorite son and former VICE PRESIDENT Walter Mondale stepped in to fill Wellstone's Democratic campaign shoes),
#2. the SMEARING of Georgia Senator MAX CLELAND as "WEAK ON AMERICA's SECURITY" - Rovian GOP ads for Cleland's opponent, Rethuglican Saxby Chambliss, featured Clelands photos between those of Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein - DESPITE Senator Cleland having left three limbs in Vietnam during the Vietnam war! and
#3. following by less than a dozen months the ANTHRAX ATTACKS on DEMOCRATIC SENATORS Tom Daschle (then Senate Majority Leader) and Patrick Leahy's (then Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman) offices; and
#4. the smear-campaign against siting Alabama Democrat Governor Don Siegelman, and the relentless, lynch-mob prosecution of Seigelman by Republican prosecutors who were FRIENDS and BUSINESS ALLIES of Karl Rove in the US Department of Justice District Attorney's offices in Alabama.

The Karl Rove organized REPUBLICAN PROSECUTION of Don Siegelman is a TEXT-BOOK EXAMPLE of NEO-CONFEDERATE politics in the Deep South, using Bush & Cheney's WAR POWERS at the very height of their "war powers presidency" - the months after the trauma of 9-11 and leading up to and immediately after the invasion of Iraq - to DESTROY POLITICAL OPPOSITION to one-party rule in America, at a time when the White House had near dictatorial powers over the US budget, US government, the US military, and tremendous influence over the US press & media.

What is seldom remarked is how the NEO-CONFEDERATE ASSAULT on "Liberal Democrats", especially in the Deep South and Western states (like Minnesota, South Dakota, New Mexico, etc.) was ENABLED by the NEO-CONSERVATIVE AIPAC Jewish (Israel-first) lobby - even when the target was a sitting Jewish governor of a Deep South state!

(Note: The Rove/GOP smear campaign against Governor Siegleman was started while he was still the sitting Governor, and, according to this account by former Governor Siegelman, below, it was that relentless 2002 Republican SMEAR CAMPAIGN that put Siegelman's Republican gubernatorial opponent in range to "win" that 2002 (re-)election away from Siegelman.)

The Neo-CONSERVATIVE/neo-CONFEDERATE ALLIANCE is at the HEART of America's aggressive, unilateral, hegemonic Foreign Policy; that unholy alliance is at the heart of America's WAR POLICY; and that alliance is at the heart of America's ECONOMIC POLICY, which is to say, "THE WAR ON THE AMERICAN ECONOMY - FROM WITHIN AMERICA!" as some critics have called it.

Here's New York Times columnist Paul Krugman giving at least one item of evidence to the notion that THERE IS A BiPARTISAN ASSAULT ON THE AMERICAN ECONOMY:

"DEMOCRAT" Senator CHUCK SCHUMER, REFUSES TO REVIEW "outrageous tax-loopholes" that benefit greedy, corrupt EXECUTIVES at the EXPENSE of American taxpayers and the American economy (because of course he gets huge campaign donations from the financial lobby)! -

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/19/opinion/19krugman.html
<< At the crudest level, WALL STREET's ILL-GOTTEN GAINS CORRUPTED and CONTINUE TO CORRUPT POLITICS, in a nicely BIPARTISAN WAY. From Bush administration officials like Christopher Cox, chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, who looked the other way as evidence of financial fraud mounted, to Democrats who still haven’t closed the outrageous tax loophole that benefits executives at hedge funds and private equity firms (HELLO, SENATOR SCHUMER), politicians have walked when money talked. >>

That is but ONE ITEM that buttresses there is a notion of A BIPARTISAN ASSAULT ON THE AMERICAN ECONOMY, coming from WITHIN AMERICA, and indeed, coming from WITHIN ELEMENTS of the US CONGRESS & Congressional "LEADERSHIP" itself - a FREE PASS to massive financial fraud by banking executives who donate to both parties in Congress, AT THE EXPENSE of THE AMERICAN ECONOMY.

KARL ROVE DESTROYED MY LIFE

Former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman blames Republican dirty tricks for the nine months he spent in prison. He talks to the Daily Beast’s Paul Alexander about clearing his name, anger at Rove—and mopping prison floors. Plus, read Scott Horton’s piece on What the Justice Department is Hiding.

As predicted here at DemNationUSA, the Bush-PELOSI-Paulson BAILOUTS are NOTHING BUT THIEVERY for America's PARASITE BANKERS.....

Illustrating yet again how incompetent, servile, and CORRUPT the Democratic "leadership" of House Speaker NANCY PELOSI is, this week's GAO report details what anyone with an IQ north of a pea already knew: THAT THERE IS absolutely NO OVERSIGHT of the BILLIONS upon TRILLIONS of taxpayer dollars that President Bush's Secretary of Treasury Hank Paulson is dishing out to his friends and cronies on Wall St.

"BAILOUTS" that are being treated as NOTHING but __BILLION DOLLAR GOLDEN PARACHUTES__ for financial corporations and their insanely greedy, corrupt, and ammoral executives - blatant, outright THIEVERY of taxpayer millions that are NOT DOING ONE THING to STIMULATE or BOLSTER the CONSUMER BASE of the American economy, but instead are being used as ONE LAST "TRICKLE DOWN" goldmine from the Bush administration to REWARD those bankers for THEIR FAILURES and GREED!

That Hank Paulson would use taxpayer billions as so much Christmas candy to BOLSTER HIS OWN PORTFOLIO (at Goldman-Sachs) and the portfolios of his financial friends is of course no great surprise; Witness, a previous Bush administration "MADE MAN," "VICEROY" of the US occupation in Iraq L. Paul Bremer, 'DISTRIBUTED' NINE BILLION DOLLARS of Iraq government monies the Bush-Cheney administration had released to Bremer's tender mercies within the first weeks of the US occupation of Baghdad in 2003... and within a few weeks, Bremer would report to the US press & (insanely corrupt) US Congress that HE HAD NO IDEA where all those NINE BILLION DOLLARS had gone!
No, in this case the amazing thing is that SPEAKER PELOSI is so conflicted, complicit, incompetent, servile, and timid, THAT SHE DOESN'T REALIZE that SHE, herself, SIGNED HER SIGNATURE as Democratic majority party leader (Speaker of the House, to be precise) - to the Bush/Pelosi/Paulson $700 BILLION dollar financial bailouts in September - and that therefore SHE, and her "Democratic" Party, are now PARTY TO THAT GRAND THEFT of BILLIONS of taxpayer dollars with NOTHING to show for it!

OK, "with nothing to show for it" is not how the Democratic "leadership" sees it: As they see it, they STAVED OFF the COMPLETE ECONOMIC COLLAPSE of American markets for several vital weeks, allowing for the conduct of sane and orderly elections where Democrats were able to roll up big gains in the House, Senate, and win a majority of national votes for the US presidency.

OK, Speaker Pelosi, NOW THE PARTY IS OVER, and SOMEONE has to pay for all those goodies purchased on America's credit card for that party!

And the BILLIONS upon TRILLIONS being poured into the PRIVATE accounts of Treasury Secretary Paulson's friends & cronies on Wall St. are NOT MAKING CREDIT EASIER for American consumers to obtain, quite the opposite: those TRILLIONS of dollars are BEING ADDED TO THE AMERICAN private and government DEFICITS, and as with INFLATIONARY money creation everywhere, will actually MAKE AFFORDABLE CREDIT _HARDER_ to obtain for American working-class consumers!

Clearly, the Speaker and her Congressional "leaders" ARE STILL WEDDED to the BIG BUSINESS, PRO-WAR, pro- DEBT, DEFICITS, TAX-CUTS, and LOW-WAGES lobbyists who encouraged and sided with the Bush White House these past 8 miserable years.

Already, the American news/media are IGNORING the Bush White House. IN THE IMMEDIATE FUTURE they will START BLAMING the PELOSI DEMOCRATS for the Bush administration's INSANE LEVELS OF DEBT, GREED, and CORRUPTION, and because the Speaker of the House is SAYING NOTHING about that RAMPANT CRAFT and CORRUPTION, for the first time in 8 years the Right-Wing media will be "right" (as in "correct") about THE DEMOCRAT's RESPONSIBILITY for the GUTTED, LOOTED TREASURY!
