Americans believe the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq happened because the Bush Administration is comprised of oilmen who, from the start, have been obsessed with grasping control of the oil resources of these two countries for their American corporations. Some believe the Bush Administration, being comprised of wealthy and influential people, is conducting class warfare against the nation's working citizens. Others believe the men and women of the Administration have made colossal blunders; that they are honorable, but very incompetent, people who have misinterpreted the information given them by the FBI and the CIA.

These are three different opinions, and an opinion is a mental conclusion formed after the brain has received information and contemplates its various possible meanings. But, the conclusion, or the opinion, is valid only if the brain has received full and truthful information.

The problem with the three opinions above is that they are formed by incomplete information, partial truths, and many lies. It's why the first and second opinions are only partially correct and the third totally wrong.

To help you to form a more accurate opinion of Mr. Bush and the people he brought into the White House to aid him accomplish his goals while president, it is necessary to look at the record for his first six years in office.

Look at the facts involving 9/11.

First: records show Bush had been notified in August of an Al Queda threat to U.S. targets, and also that U.S. spy agencies had discovered Muslims were being trained in the U.S. for suicide flights against U.S. targets-a month before the twin tower horror, This truth was revealed to the American people by CBS in May of 2002, and subsequently verified by other reliable sources.

Yet Mr. Bush denies having been given knowledge of such activities and little, if any, precautions were taken by U.S. military and police forces to prevent such a catastrophe.

Second: after 9/11, the Republican Administration immediately accused Osama bin Laden and Afghanistan's ruling Taliban of the horror, and insisted upon the invasion of Afghanistan. This despite the truth bin Laden was a Saudi and not an Afghanistan, and the men piloting those three planes were Saudis. This despite knowledge that the Bush family had a long and close relationship with the royal bin Laden family.

Knowing this, isn't it strange that in a world, in which money influences almost everything, Osama bin Laden has not yet been captured or killed, despite the enormous $1,000,000 reward placed on his head. Isn't it even more strange that bin Laden has not only disappeared from the American media and public attention, but his capture has disappeared from Administration priorities?

Third: is it a coincidence that as soon as American troops chased the Taliban out of Afghanistan, American oilmen began construction of a pipeline through the country: a pipeline, that the Congress of a previous Administration had been told could be built only upon removal of the Taliban from power.

Fourth: it seems the Administration is deliberately dismantling democracy in the U.S., and weakening the nation's infrastructure. After 9/11, the Administration's passed the so-called "Patriots Bill" that removed many long held civil liberties from the American people.

Without evidence of guilt, hundreds of Muslims, and some Americans, were arrested upon suspicion of being terrorists and whisked away to prisons where they were held incommunicado from families for weeks, months, and years without charges made against them, and without benefit of legal counsel. To gain information, and with permission, or request, of the Bush Administration, some of these people were moved to foreign nations that were friendly to the Administration, or to locations where the CIA had secret bases to be tortured, beaten, and humiliated.

Fifth: Dissent in the U.S. is being squelched. When the president appears in public, armed troops force peaceful protesters into so-called "Free Speech Zones," away from the president and view of the media. Americans wearing T-shirts bearing anti-Bush, anti-war, or anti-Republican slogans are also banned from media view. Local Police have begun questioning peaceful protesters about their personal—and private—political views, sometimes beating them, unnecessarilly.

Sixth: open government, the hallmark of democracy, has been replaced by a policy of subversive secrecy. Flying the banner of "national security" the Administration denies requests made under the Freedom of Information Act, or releases the documents only after being heavily censured. It has, also, authorized the closure of some government websites. More ominous is the Administration's attempt to contain all government news by making leaks of "classified" information a federal crime. Its order to the FBI to polygraph all members of Congress was alarming, but to their credit, the agency refused to comply with the demand.

Seventh: spying upon Americans has become a national policy. Government spy agencies cull through millions of internet email and telephone messages of innocent, patriotic Americans in an attempt to discover, possible, subversive or terrorist activities.

Eighth: the Administration has knowingly neglected maintenance of the nation's roads, sewer lines, bridges, public buildings, parks, schools and mass transportation by drastically reducing federal investment in the public welfare. It has been reported that in some instances, the condition of these public responsibilities is as bad as in third world countries.

:Ninth the Administration is the most openly fascist government the American people have ever tolerated, but many Americans haven't the slightest idea what fascism.

A simple explanation is that fascists believe a government should function on behalf of the wealthy citizens who own the country—large landowners and owners of big corporations. Fascists believe the government should encourage large families to create a huge labor pool to work their factories and big armies to fight their wars. They condemn labor unions, and believe government should program common workers to be obedient and subservient to both employers and government. Early in the 20th century, the original American Boy Scout oath required members to be loyal not only to country, but loyal to employers also. Benito Mussolini, ruler of Italy, accomplice of Adolph Hitler, and generally credited with giving fascism its name, claimed the concept should have been named "corporatism." And who should know better.

Tenth: the Bush Administration has passed laws drastically reducing taxes for the rich, throwing more of the burden of government upon those who can afford it least. In addition, it has passed laws making it still easier for corporations to utilize offshore tax havens and avoid taxes, and easier for corporations to close domestic factories and relocate overseas where they find cheaper labor. In addition the Administration has made it easier for corporations to outsource American jobs to foreign countries.

In the most outrageous decision an Administration has ever made, and one rejected by Congress, it tried to outsource management of six U.S. ports to a state-owned, Saudi company.

There's more, much more: other than thrusting the republic into war, the Administration's most dangerous decision, so far, has been to outsource support functions of the U.S. military, which now depends upon giant conglomerates—and their smaller subcontractors employed to do a job. The military no longer controls its sources for food, mail, communications, medical services, electricity, or construction of bridges and roads. Nor does it control the maintenance of its tanks, aircraft, warships and supporting military vehicles. These functions have been "privatized."

But when a private corporation provides substandard work—which they all do—it cannot be punished, as a negligent soldier can. The lives of our boys and girls serving in Afghanistan and Iraq are entirely at the mercy of greedy American businessmen.

The anti-commoner Bush Administration has used the National Labor Relations Board to remove the rights of working Americans with a viciousness not seen since passage of the Taft-Hartley Act in 1947. Not only has it restricted the rights of temporary workers, the disabled, and student employees to unionize and use the process of collective bargaining, but it has also excluded about 8 million "minor supervisory employees" who were previously allowed these rights. Although some of these workers might be technicians and not factory workers, they still earn only an hourly wage and still need protection from uncaring employers.

The Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005 makes filing for bankruptcy difficult for ordinary workers, but protects the assets of wealthy filers. The Class Action Fairness Act of 2005 makes collective class action suits more difficult to initiate.

Without legally accusing them of crimes or determining their guilt, the Bush Administration supports the torture and humiliation of prisoners, just like WWII Nazis. The Military Commissions Act allows Mr. Bush to legally declare anyone an "unlawful enemy combatant." This means anyone who donates money or is a member of an organization which the Administratons wishes to harrass, or disapproves, can be accused of being an unlawful enemy combatant.

The Bush Administration has authorized the creation of a new space policy that rejects future arms control agreements and access to space to any country deemed anti-American. It has, also, deliberately brought religion—humanity's most conflict-generating institution and major threat to peace—into the U.S. government. This, despite knowing the strength and longevity of the republic for more than two hundred years has, in large part, been due to the absence of religious controversy. It has used taxpayer funds to place religious dogma into public schools and under the umbrella of "faith-based initiatives," it has removed funds from public programs to support religious organizations.

The Bush Administration has created the very first federal ban on abortion, and has taken a stand to refuse equal civil rights to gay and lesbian Americans whose lifestyles are rejected by organized religions and their members. These are all religious issues, and not the business of government.

Conclusions: It's obvious the men holding power of the White House, are neither bumbling idiots, nor honest patriots concerned with the welfare of the republic, or of the American people. Nor are they men who simply have erred in judgment. These people know precisely what they are doing.

The current Administration knew what exactly what it intended to do long before it took control of the White House. It's why Republicans stole the 2000 election: it was essential Republicans be in control of government when the twin towers were destroyed, for it gave the necessary authority to their accusations against Osama bin Laden. Despite not a shred of concrete evidence, the White House accused the man of being the culprit, lying to the American public, and misusing the power of the White House to invade Afghanistan, drive the Taliban from power, invade AFghanistan, and make it possible for the oil consortium to begin building the pipeline—that the Taliban had denied.

Fascism and love of totalitarianism are more deeply ingrained in the American System than most Americans would believe. The families and groups that control the federal government and many state governments are the same kind of men who have ruled human societies from the beginnings of time. They are arrogant, extremely selfish, and totally disdainful of the intelligence and capabilities of the less educated common people who serve in their homes, work in their factories, and fight their wars.
