Waco Tribune to Bush: Drop the "culture of secrecy"
Waco is the closest city to George Bush's ranch in Crawford, Texas. So, today's tough editorial in the Waco Tribune was especially interesting. Citing CREW's lawsuit against the Bush administration over visitor records, the paper takes Bush to task for his "culture of secrecy":
President Bush’s culture of secrecy belies his administration’s emphasis on accountability.
The principle of open government bolsters America’s representative democracy by ensuring that the people have access to public affairs conducted in their behalf.
Transparency in government goes hand in hand with accountability, a fact that gives the Bush administration extremely low marks in its promise to be accountable to the people.
They've reached the same conclusion we have:
By constantly fighting to deny public access to public business, Bush gives the unavoidable impression that he has a lot to hide.

To preserve integrity of US DOJ investigations secrecy is needed
With having finally dumped Karl Rove last August 13th, the president's need for secrecy is quite different. Since last spring the Bush Administration began to drop its pro-Russian mafia stand, but the US Congress remains hijacked by the Russian mafia, thereby carrying-out its agenda in the US. Many Americans really haven't been following this and it is a shame!
Two weeks ago the press reported Vladmir Putin has a $ 40 billion offshore account. Putin grew-up poor, was truant in school and was in a brutal street gang very much like the Bloods and Cripps. Since when does the Russian presidency pay so handsomely? Prior, Putin headed the Russian FSS for 1 1/2 years which is the next-generation of the KGB. Since when did being director of the FSS pay a salary in billions of dollars per annum? Before being director of the FSS, Putin worked in its intelligence wing for approximately 7 years. Alexander Litvinenko's writings documented that the pay was poor and barely enough to exist on. Putin's first formal occupation was as a KGB officer; they were paid poorly.
Putin and the street gang compatriots from his teens, have their claws into just about everything in the US. That $ 40 billion is invested in energy, but also to have majority ownership of our own defense suppliers. Courtesy of congressional earmarks, the US DHS awards no-bid contracts (what wasn't specified in earmarks instead was done in backroom deals in violation of Federal Acquisition Regulation--the former Deputy Secretary Michael P. Jackson is in trouble for this) on everyone of the DHS' major programs only to Putin's investment companies.
I head government operations of a company that has been Putin's muse for more than 6 years. We're inventor of a biometric credential. It was more than 6 years ago Putin's government offered us a 100 % financing package. We turned-down many Russian financial offfers! We were forerunner based on merit in every federal credentialing program when the US DHS opened its doors, yet over the years Putin and his operatives did such a good job at bribing congress that it now is a federal offense for any credentialing program to consider our platform. Congress was who fixed the credentialing programs to a tech standard that doesn't work and made it a federal offense for the programs to self-improve themselves by considering better. Lockheed Martin is an Putin investment company. Lockheed Martin controls all the US DHS credentialing programs. Lockheed Martin has its own biometric smart card that doesn't work and awards contracts only to itself. Obviously this is a conflict of interest and a violation of Federal Acquisition Regulation. Every member of Congress knows this but won't undo Lockheed's monopoly--the Russian Mafia's monopoly, because Lockheed via Putin's control of it (shareholders elect board members who then installed senior leadership loyal to Putin and his crime gang members) paid-off the entire US Congress to turn a blind eye that the Russian Mafia controls the US DHS.
Virtually every congressional corruption probe (there are far more than were disclosed--Jefferson and Mollohan are 2 exceptions) has an underlying common thread of the Russian mafia. Via activities of the Bush Administration last spring, I am aware they know this. US DOJ's investigations are secret. Doolittle, DeLay, Cunningham, Lewis, Taylor, Weldon, Hayworth, etc. all lobbied the Bush Administration to favor Russian mob-controlled companies. Out of respect for US DOJ's investigations and that they include false and misleading statements made to the Bush Administration officials, Bush would have to keep many things secret so as not to permit information be released before trial that could cause a mistrial. Cheney...he's a whole other story. Cheney and his right hand Addington...they're like all those members of Congress and their need for secrecy isn't to preserve the integrity of US DOJ's investigations is to conceal their own guilt. When the Wilkes-Foggo trial gets underway, it is unlikely Cheney will emerge from it OK. Cheney was a Russian Mafia operative/mastermind just like many of the aforementioned members of congress who lobbied Bush's office. Remember, on the day Karl Rove resigned he was asked his greatest regret. His answer was to not push corrupt members of Congress to resign sooner.
