Department of Peace Conference: a Sliver of a Peek

admin @ April 6, 2009 # One Comment

On March 20-23, the third meeting of the Campaign to Establish a Cabinet Level Dept of Peace met at the Hyatt Regency in Crystal City, Arlington VA. The location itself feels paradoxical - conference goers meet in this location surrounded by the offices of some of the biggest organizations that solely exist to profit from war and unrest; KBR (Haliburton), Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics, and any number of offices of lobbyists that are situated a stone’s throw across the Potomac from the legislative core of the United States.

Opinion/News: “President Obama: Meet Citizen Bob Who Answered Your Call!”

admin @ January 27, 2009 # No Comment Yet

Bugliosi’s case against George W. Bush differs from the war-crimes case under discussion by Constitutional scholars in that the war-crimes case centers on torture and illegal wiretapping and Bugliosi’s case deals with traditional murder in which Bush, like any other murder defendant, would stand trial in an American court and if convicted could face the death penalty or life in prison. It is Bugliosi’s belief that no citizen is above the law and that the American criminal court is suitable to try Bush once he’s out of office.

Undoubtedly, if there’s any American prosecutor able to craft a murder case against George Bush, it’s former Los Angeles prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi, who first gained fame for trying the notorious Charles Manson Tate-LaBianca murder case in 1970 and ‘71. In that case Bugliosi won first degree murder convictions for all defendants, including Manson who wasn’t present at any of the crimes. Bugliosi was so consummate in his prosecution that Manson was charged with first degree murder for crimes he hadn’t physically committed. Bugliosi’s passionate genius, mastery of the law, and fearlessness in the face of Manson family threats, enabled him to prevail in the prosecution, much like his genius and fearlessness would compel him to prevail in this case he has crafted against George Bush.
