This past weekend I heard the President of the Republican National Lawyers Association, Harvey Tettlebaum, jokingly refer to John Ashcorft, and a few other people in the audience, as part of the "Missouri Mafia". However, even though he said it jokingly what if it was really a Freudian blurt that reflects reality. If his blurt is true wouldn't it also make sense that George W. Bush is part of the Texas Mafia, since he is the one who hired Ashcroft to run the Justice Department?

Incidentally, he hired Ashcroft because Ashcroft was unemployed due to the fact he had just lost his job in Congress to Mel Caranhan's wife. Mel died in a mysterious plane crash just before the election and John lost to a dead man. This is similar to Senator Wellstone's death, but Wellstone's wife was onboard and so that was the end of Wellstone's life and election, and the GOP took control and had a party.

When people talk about the Mafia they are not just talking about the Italians and their shyster Jewish lawyers, but the term "Mafia" also includes any group of people who are engaged in organized criminal activities.

The RICO laws were created in the 1970's and 1980's to discourage organized criminal activities by requiring tougher sentences for people who are caught. But clearly those laws have not stopped the illegal drugs, illegal immigrants, prostitution, gambling, and other white collar criminal activities in America, and in fact it appears all those industries are thriving, expanding, and winning.

Historically the American Mafia was known to run its operations out of Illinois, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Louisiana, and New Jersey, but based on recent news reports it appears they are also operating in Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska, Texas, California, Florida, Oklahoma, Utah and probably all the other states in America.

Robert F. Kennedy warned us about the Mafia when he said, "If we do not attack organized crime with weapons and techniques as effective as theirs they will destroy us", and he was right.

Our government is being looted and destroyed by a group of liars, thieves, money whores, and fascist thugs who are working inside, and around, our government. That's right, Bush, Cheney, and the other Republican members of Congress are nothing more than Mafioso soldiers and consiglieres for a few families in America with huge concentrations of wealth. In other words their all a bunch of ruthless criminals, greedy cut-throats, and evil money whores.

Mafia groups are secret hierarchical criminal organizations that require membership, initiation, vows, and offer protection and money to its members in exchange for services rendered. Similar to how the CIA operates today, and perhaps the way the GOP operates today. And since George W. Bush's father was Director of the CIA it would make perfect sense that George W. Bush also worked for the CIA at some point in his past, and is still doing their ugly bidding as President. I'm not trying to say that the entire CIA is a Mafia organization, but it sure appears that the Bush branch is. Also, President Bush gave a speech at the CIA, that was televised on CSPAN, where he more or less said that he use to be a covert CIA agent and he should be honored for his service. I bet Rove was not happy about that speech.

President John F. Kennedy wanted to dismantle the CIA and turn all intelligence gathering activities over to our military, but he was assassinated in Dallas, Texas in 1963 before he got the job done. President Clinton picked Anthony Lake to head the CIA and reform its intelligence operations, but the Republicans in Congress intimidated Lake to the point that he withdrew his nomination and blurted out "Washington has gone haywire", which probably really means the Mafia has taken over our government and he wants nothing to do with them. And then 9/11 happened; oops.

Based on the way both George W. Bush and his father have run this country I would dare to speculate that they are both a couple of fascist CIA Mafioso's a-holes who have aligned themselves with the wealthiest families in America in exchange for a mountain of cash and limitless opportunities. This should be obvious to the American people who keep up with the news.

As proof of this alignment just look at his record. For example, all Bush's tax cuts have gone to people at the top and have made our tax system highly regressive. He lies about everything. He stole the first election, and most probably the second. His biggest campaign contributor was Enron, a huge corrupt corporation that stole from its employees, shareholders, creditors, and the people of California. His Medicare reform legislation was a horrible bill that is giving the highly profitable big drug companies and big insurance companies hundreds of billions of our tax dollars, and has set the entire Medicare system on a quick path to insolvency. He sent American soldiers to die based on a lie (1,574 dead so far). He has rolled back our environmental laws. He has passed laws that infringe on our rights. And now he has set his sights on the trillion dollar Social Security system. He is also dying to get rid of the estate tax for billionaires. He is running up huge government debts so that our government will be forced to sell off its assets for pennies on the dollar to pay just the interest cost on the federal debt. And he is wanting to phase out all government based social programs.

I'm expecting to see horns growing out of the top of Bush's head any day now, but Rove would probably just hire someone, probably an illegal Mexican, to keep them trimmed down so the public wouldn't get freaked out.

The first Mafia organizations started in Italy in the 1700's and were basically employment agencies that worked for the wealthy land owners who had monopolized much of the wealth of the country. From there they grew into the Mafia criminal organizations we know today from movies like "The Godfather". But it's not just the Italians and their Jewish lawyers any more, but also includes Whites, Negroes, Mexicans, Indians, Christians, Mormons, x-military, gays, dope addicts, etc, etc, etc. Clearly the current American Mafia operates with a "big tent" concept, and they are working all the different ethnic, religious, and social angles to achieve their ugly greedy goals of financial and political control over America, and eventually the earth.

American's law enforcement organizations, like the FBI and ATF, have not done a good job dealing with these large, wealthy, and powerful criminal organizations. Therefore, I believe that another solution is necessary. Maybe our military leaders should step up to the plate before Bush's economic policies force their budgets to be cut to a fraction of their current levels. Maybe our military leaders could use their weapons, techniques, and personnel to put an end to this greed based cancer that is eating away our government, our economy, and our society. Personally, I was hoping Wesley Clark, a former four star general and head of NATO, would have run against, and beat, Bush in 2004.

Maybe a military coup d'etat is not possible and our only hope is a revolution against the wealthy families and their friends, similar to the French Revolution of 1792 that created a Republic in France. I'm not sure what the correct solution is, but I am sure that if we don't do something soon these Mafioso a-holes will destroy our democracy by improvising our government and controlling our legal system.

If you want to know what America will be like after the "Bush Mafia" finishes taking control just go down to Mexico for a couple of days, or ask one of the millions of Mexicans who sneak across our borders each year why they take the risk and spend all the money to come to America. The answer they will give you is an honest one and it goes something like this; "There are no good paying jobs and very limited opportunities to move up the economic ladder down in Mexico."

The reason Mexico is that way is because all the wealth, the land, is owned by about 40 different families and these families don't believe in sharing what they have. America is not like Mexico because we have had a highly progressive federal income tax system, including an estate tax, that has helped to create a vibrant dynamic middle class. This middle class breeds a great deal of innovation and economic opportunities. That is one of the main reasons America has the biggest economy in the world. However, Reagan, and now Bush, have passed legislation that has made our tax system highly regressive, and as a result wealth is quickly becoming highly concentrated into the hands of a few families, and the middle class is getting squeezed downwards.    

We had better wise up and learn how to fight back, or we better learn how to live on our knees, because the Bush Mafia a-holes have infiltrated and escalated to the top of our government, and to the top of our biggest corporations, and the only thing tickling down is the blood of dead American boy and girls.

All that is necessary for evil to win is for good men to do nothing.
