Presidential friends and liars "taken care of"....an ane auld song

CNN February 11, 2004
WASHINGTON (CNN) --- President George Bush said Tuesday he welcomes a Justice Department investigation into who revealed the classified identity of a CIA operative.

"If there's a leak out of my administration, I want to know who it is," Bush told reporters at an impromptu news conference during a fund-raising stop in Chicago, Illinois. "If the person has violated law, that person will be taken care of."

"Scooter" has ...er... been well taken care of, the commutation of his sentence is but the first step to his pardon.

But then Daddy did pardon Caspar Weinberger ( a "true patriot" he called him when doing so) who was indicted for lying to the special prosecutor investigating the Iran/Contra affair in December 1992 just before he left office.

Daddy also pardoned 5 others - despite the fact that they had pleaded guilty or had been indicted or convicted in connection with the Iran-Contra arms-for-hostages investigation. Step forward Elliott Abrams, a former assistant secretary of state for Inter-American affairs; former National Security Adviser Robert McFarlane, and Duane Clarridge, Alan Fiers, and Clair George, all former employees of the Central Intelligence Agency.

At the time the incoming President at a news conference in Little Rock, Arkansas, later in the day, was asked about the pardons, he said he did'nt have all the details on the matter and would withhold comment until he had had a chance to study the president's statement and related information.

However, Clinton said he was concerned...

"by any action which sends a signal that, if you work for the government,
you're above the law, or that not telling the truth to Congress under oath is
somehow less serious than not telling the truth to some other body under oath."

He went on to issue 140 pardons when he retired including Almon Braswell and Carlos Vignali who had each each paid approximately $200,000 to Hillary Clinton's brother, Hugh "Puddingfat" Rodham . Read More "Clinton - corrupt , dishonest, lying fucks "

Hillary on the stump with Bill alongside called the President's treatment of Libby as Cronyism ... well she should know.

Oz chauffeur puts foot down, so MP gets fucked by her political friends instead

Comcar provides chauffeured services to MPs and senators, in Canberra and elsewhere around Australia, which is paid out of Government funds.

The unfortunately named Ms Kelly Hoare, 43, a married mother of two and Labor Party MP for the NSW Hunter Valley seat of Charlton (the coal exporting capital of Australia) , she is deputy caucus chairman and chairs the Labor Party womens committee.

She was recently ferried home by an Australian Government driver employed by Comcar.

When they stopped at her house, the driver found it necessary to refuse the invitation to "Come inside and fuck me" .... which judging by the picture he was fully entitled to, whatever the terms of his employment contract.

As a result of a complaint the frightened driver lodged with his employers, she now finds her self de-selected from the seat she has won 3 times, by the Party and ambitious (and youthful) ACTU boss Greg Combet installed as a the forthcoming candidate in her place. She is said to be receiving "counselling" , there is no news if the driver is receiving any ..

...... but then Oz politics is a rough old game. Union boss (ETU) Dean Mighell recently called Prime Minister Howard "an anti-union bastard of the last generation and a skidmark on the bedsheet of Australian politics".

Biometric ID Cards to be introduced by TESCO, Asda, M & S ... ??

An Israeli based software outfit that develops grocery store software - US Operations based in Texas.

On May 9, 2001 three Israeli nationals arrived at Dallas Fort Worth via Air France Flight #40 from Paris, France who all claimed they were wroking / going to work for the company, they were

Tomer BEN DOR, male, Israeli, DOB: 08-24-75

Marina GLIKMAN, female, Israeli, DOB: 12-15-72.

Zeev MILLER, male, Israeli, DOB: 09-04-71.

They were also all identified in a DEA report about itinerant Israeli students hawking artwork around US Government offices. Here is a fascinating item of information about the company.

On September 20, 2005 – Retalix USA formed an alliance with Pay By Touch to integrate Pay By Touch’s biometric authentification payment system with Retalix’ Point Of Sale solutions for grocery retailers.

Pay By Touch holds more than two dozen issued U.S. patents covering tokenless biometric transactions for authentification, age verification, loyalty, and check-cashing, with more than 70 patents pending. See Lord Patel Saturday, September 9 Globalisation ...another perspective Chip and PIN ...forget it

As an aside in discussion with Eddie Mayor on the BBC4 news program "PM" tonight (9th Oct 2006) , Liam Byrne the UK Home Office minister, overseeing the ID card ,he mentioned (very precisely) "150,000 people in the US pay for their groceries by biometrics" (Pop. 260 Mn) .... going on to suggest that costs could be kept down as private industry seized the benfits of biometric identification.

Now if the major stores, TESCO, etc decided to turn their loyalty cards / payment systems to using biometrics ? How much easier the whole project would be QED ?

In this light consider the way TESCO use the space on milk containers to spread a message from the Inland Revenue / Customs thet tax payers/employees who receive tax credits and now have a live in partner , have changed their "circumstances" and may need to contact the IRC to notify the change and have their Tax credits re-assessed - ie, reduced.

Then just reflect that TESCO don't want a tax on plastic bags, managed to hand off a suggested tax on supermarket car park places, manipulate the Planning regime, land banks, etc.,

The cynical might expect that the major retailers will at least be "evaluating" the benefits, costs / political influence obtained etc., etc., by developing biometrics on their loyalty cards etc., etc.,

Well informed man Mr Byrne.

The curious thing is, the average Joe trusts Tesco more than he trusts the Gubment....so natch. Get Tesco to do the dirty work for you.
