Oops, More Freudian Slips From Bush

Oops, More Freudian Slips From Bush

(10/6/2005) Today our treasonous president, George W. Bush, gave a speech in an attempt to build support for his phony war on terror. However, what actually happened was that he gave a speech full of Freudian statements, contrarian indicators, and lies.

A Freudian statement is one where someone says something negative about someone else when their criticism is really true about themselves. The speech Bush gave today was full of these types of Freudian self-critical exposes' statements, and it motivated me to write about him.

Contrarian indicators (CI), are people who expose the correct course of action by inverting the meaning of what they are saying. People who are considered good CI become more clear over time as their habit of finding the wrong solutions, giving incorrect answers, and recommending the worse course of actions correlate with the opposite results. Bush has proven himself to be an excellent CI over the years. For example, when Bush says "taxes should be cut" what that really means is that taxes should not be cut, and maybe even that taxes should be increased. In today's speech Bush unwittingly told us what we should do by telling us what we should not do, and vise versa.

People who consistently make Freudian statement, and who are good CI, are not necessarily liars or bad people. However, in Bush's case he is both.

With that psychological basis in understanding lets examine Bush's speech and see what we can learn. Following are quotes from Bush's mouth followed by my interpretation of what he should of said, or my editorializing:

Quote: "In this new century, freedom is once again assaulted by enemies determined to roll back generations of democratic progress. Once again, we're responding to a global campaign of fear with a global campaign of freedom."

Truth: "We're responding to global freedom with a global campaign of fear. We (the GOP), are the enemies of freedom and are determined to roll back generations of democratic progress."

Quote: "Recently our country observed the fourth anniversary of a great evil, and looked back on a great turning point in our history....We will confront this mortal danger to all humanity. We will not tire, or rest, until the war on terror is won."

Truth: "We're approaching the sixth anniversary of a great evil moving into the White House and we can look back to see the proof......We must stop this evil cancerous growth in our government otherwise we will all be in mortal danger. We will not tire, or rest, until these evil people are out of our government and behind bars where they belong."

Quote: "....the killers choose their victims indiscriminately, their attacks serve a clear and focused ideology, a set of beliefs and goals that are evil, but not insane."

Truth: Our government is killing people in Iraq who had nothing to do with 9/11, or any other terrorist action. Bush's attack against the innocent exposes a focused ideology, a set of beliefs and goals that really are evil, but not insane, just sick neo-con criminality.

Quote: "Some call this evil Islamic radicalism; others, militant Jihadism; still others, Islamo-fascism. Whatever it's called, this ideology is very different from the religion of Islam. This form of radicalism exploits Islam to serve a violent, political vision: the establishment, by terrorism and subversion and insurgency, of a totalitarian empire that denies all political and religious freedom. These extremists distort the idea of jihad into a call for terrorist murder against Christians and Jews and Hindus -- and also against Muslims from other traditions, who they regard as heretics."

Truth: "Some call this evil compassionate conservatism; others, American militant fascism; still others, right-wing Republican terrorism. Whatever it's called, this ideology is very different from the religion of Christianity. This form of radicalism exploits Christianity to serve a violent, political visions: the establishment, by wars, theft, lies, corruption, exploitation, bankruptcy, and subversion, into a totalitarian empire that denies all political and economic freedom.....We (the people in the Bush administration) are the treasonous destroyers of democracy."

Quote: "Many militants are part of global, borderless terrorist organizations like al Qaeda, which spreads propaganda, and provides financing and technical assistance to local extremists, and conducts dramatic and brutal operations like September the 11th."

Truth: "Many elected Republicans are part of global, borderless criminal organization called the GOP, which spreads propaganda, and provides financing and technical assistance to other right-wing fascist criminals, and conducts dramatic and brutal operations like Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo Bay, the assassinations of popular leaders."

Quote: "We know the vision of the radicals because they've openly stated it -- in videos, and audiotapes, and letters, and declarations, and websites. First, these extremists want to end American and Western influence in the broader Middle East, because we stand for democracy and peace, and stand in the way of their ambitions....Their tactic to meet this goal has been consistent for a quarter-century: They hit us, and expect us to run."

Truth: "We know the vision of the GOP because we have witnessed it during the past five years they have been in control of our government. First, these extremist want to end the American people's right to vote because they don't care what they want or think, and they stand in the way of the GOP's corrupt ambitions. Second, they want to transfer $100 trillion dollars in government owned assets, assets that belong to the American people, to their rich friends down in Texas because they are just money whores for a group of wealthy Texas based thieves.....Their tactics to meet these goals has been consistent for a quarter-century since JFK was murdered in Dallas, and since the Nixon administration's war in Vietnam: They lie to us, rob our government, and will try to run us out of America just like the Jews in Israel have been doing to the Palestinians for a quarter-century."

Quote: "The terrorists regard Iraq as the central front in their war against humanity. And we must recognize Iraq as the central front in our war on terror."

Truth: "The terrorist in the White House regard the American government as the central front in their war against humanity. And we must recognize the GOP as the central front in our war to save ourselves and our democratic government." The GOP wants to kill Uncle Sam and we cannot allow that to happen because we are all Uncle Sam.

Quote: "Some might be tempted to dismiss these goals as fanatical or extreme. Well, they are fanatical and extreme -- and they should not be dismissed. Our enemy is utterly committed.....Evil men, obsessed with ambition and unburdened by conscience, must be taken very seriously -- and we must stop them before their crimes can multiply."

Truth: "We in the GOP are fanatical and extreme -- and we should not be dismissed. We are utterly committed to bankrupting the U.S. government and controlling the American people. I'm an evil man, obsessed with ambition and unburdened by my own conscience and I must be stopped before my crimes can multiply."

Quote: "Defeating the militant network is difficult, because it thrives, like a parasite, on the suffering and frustration of others. The radicals exploit local conflicts to build a culture of victimization, in which someone else is always to blame and violence is always the solution. They exploit resentful and disillusioned young men and women, recruiting them through radical mosques as the pawns of terror. And they exploit modern technology to multiply their destructive power. Instead of attending faraway training camps, recruits can now access online training libraries to learn how to build a roadside bomb, or fire a rocket-propelled grenade -- and this further spreads the threat of violence, even within peaceful democratic societies."

Truth: "Defeating the GOP and its supporters is difficult, because it thrives, like a parasite, on the suffering, frustration, and tax dollars of the middle class. (Note: Today Bush threatened to veto a defense bill because it contained an amendment (McCain-Graham) that would outlaw torture. This amendment was supported by over 90 Senators.) The GOP exploits conflicts to build a culture of victimization, in which someone else is always to blame and violence is always the solution. The GOP exploits ignorant, brainwashed, and brain damaged young men and women, recruiting them through high schools in poor communities as the pawns of their phony war on terror and as proxies to fight the enemy of the Jews. Instead of using our far superior technology to kill our enemies our young men and women are sent half way around the globe to die face down in the desert for a conflict that is based on a lie, and on greed, and is being managed incompetently. The internet and all educational resources threaten the GOP's fascist agenda because the truth is like Domiciles Sword dangling over the head of their thieving fascist corrupt ideology."

Quote: "The influence of Islamic radicalism is also magnified by helpers and enablers. They have been sheltered by authoritarian regimes, allies of convenience like Syria and Iran, that share the goal of hurting America and moderate Muslim governments, and use terrorist propaganda to blame their own failures on the West and America, and on the Jews. These radicals depend on front operations, such as corrupted charities which direct money to terrorist activity.

Truth: "The influence of GOP radicalism is also magnified by helpers and enablers in the media, military industrial complex, UK, Saudi Arabia, Israel, and in the Democratic Party. These corrupt groups share the GOP goals of undermining America's democracy and bankrupting the U.S. federal government, and use the war on terrorism propaganda to blame their corrupt activities on the innocent people of Iraq, Syria, North Korea, Iran, and other anti-Semites. These right-wing extremist depend on wealthy Texas backers to fund their political parties and to reward them for their corrupt services."

Quote: "We're facing a radical ideology with inalterable objectives: to enslave whole nations and intimidate the world. No act of ours invited the rage of the killers -- and no concession, bribe, or act of appeasement would change or limit their plans for murder."

Truth: "We're practicing a radical ideology with financial objectives: to concentrate wealth, bankrupt the U.S. government, enslave American workers, and intimidate the world. All of our actions invited the rage of the 9/11 killers -- and nothing short of death will alter our plans for world domination."

Quote: "Like the ideology of communism, Islamic radicalism is elitist, led by a self-appointed vanguard that presumes to speak for the Muslim masses. Bin Laden says his own role is to tell Muslims, quote, "what is good for them and what is not." And what this man who grew up in wealth and privilege considers good for poor Muslims is that they become killers and suicide bombers. He assures them that his -- that this is the road to paradise -- though he never offers to go along for the ride.

Truth: Just substitute Bush's name for Bin Laden, GOP radicalism for Islamic radicalism, and American for Muslims and you come much closer to reality.

Quote: "Like the ideology of communism, our new enemy teaches that innocent individuals can be sacrificed to serve a political vision. And this explains their cold-blooded contempt for human life."

Truth: Do you remember Bush's cold-blooded contempt for human life when he mocked the pleas of a woman about to be put to death in Texas? What about Bush's ideology that sent nearly 2000 American boys to die in Iraq based on a lie about WMDs, and a lie about Iraq's part in 9/11.

Quote: "When 25 Iraqi children are killed in a bombing, or Iraqi teachers are executed at their school, or hospital workers are killed caring for the wounded, this is murder, pure and simple -- the total rejection of justice and honor and morality and religion."

Truth: Since Bush's war in Iraq has already killed over 100,000 Iraqi citizens what does that say about him? Where is his justice, honor, morality, and religion?

Quote: "Like the ideology of communism, our new enemy pursues totalitarian aims. Its leaders pretend to be an aggrieved party, representing the powerless against imperial enemies. In truth they have endless ambitions of imperial domination, and they wish to make everyone powerless except themselves. Under their rule, they have banned books, and desecrated historical monuments, and brutalized women. They seek to end dissent in every form, and to control every aspect of life, and to rule the soul, itself. While promising a future of justice and holiness, the terrorists are preparing for a future of oppression and misery."

Truth: This statement is the most Freudian of them all. He is telling us the GOP's sick plans for our future.

Quote: ".....it is courage in the cause of freedom that once again will destroy the enemies of freedom. (Applause.)"

Truth: Here Bush is unwittingly telling us (freedom fighters) to have courage as we fight his fascist ideology.

Quote: "We didn't ask for this global struggle, but we're answering history's call with confidence, and a comprehensive strategy."

Truth: "We didn't ask terrorist from Saudi Arabia to attack us on 9/11, but we're answering by ignoring the real terrorist and killing the Jew haters in Iraq with confidence, and with an in-comprehensible strategy that is costing the American taxpayers $7 billion dollars a month and over two U.S. soldiers lives per day."

Quote: "First, we're determined to prevent the attacks of terrorist networks before they occur. We're reorganizing our government to give this nation a broad and coordinated homeland defense. We're reforming our intelligence agencies for the incredibly difficult task of tracking enemy activity, based on information that often comes in small fragments from widely scattered sources, here and abroad. We're acting, along with the governments from many countries, to destroy the terrorist networks and incapacitate their leaders."

Truth: "First, we're determined to prevent a non-GOP person from ever getting into the White House again. We're reorganizing our government by bankrupting the federal government and concentrating wealth into the hands of a few right-wing capitalist in Texas. We're reforming our intelligence agencies for the task of tracking every American citizen so they don't kill us, or our sugar daddies down in Dallas. We're acting, along with co-conspirators in other countries, to destroy America's democracy and kill any serious political opposition. We're the real enemy of democracy and freedom, and we're in control.

Quote: "We will not relent until the organized international terror networks are exposed and broken, and their leaders held to account for their acts of murder."

Truth: Once again Bush is unwittingly telling us what he has done and what we need to do stop him.

Quote: "The United States makes no distinction between those who commit acts of terror and those who support and harbor them, because they're equally as guilty of murder. (Applause.)"

Truth: "The people of the United States make no distinction between those who commit acts of treason (the Bush administration) and those who support and harbor them (the GOP and their financial backers), because they're equally as guilty of treason. (Big Applause.)"

Quote: "Area by area, city by city, we're conducting offensive operations to clear out enemy forces, and leaving behind Iraqi units to prevent the enemy from returning. Within these areas, we're working for tangible improvements in the lives of Iraqi citizens."

Truth: Based on this statement you would think that we are doing a good job winning the hearts and minds of the Iraqi people, however, the evidence points in the exact opposite direction. The Iraqi units we leave behind are turning into insurgents, or are killed by other Iraqi insurgents. Before we attacked Iraq to give them freedom and democracy the people of Iraq had the number one education system, the best health care system, the most reliable electrical system, and cleanest water system in the Middle East. We have destroyed these people's civilization and Bush tells us that were improving their lives. Based on that logic I think it's high time we worked to improve Bush's life.

Quote: "The terrorists are as brutal an enemy as we've ever faced. They're unconstrained by any notion of our common humanity, or by the rules of warfare. No one should underestimate the difficulties ahead, nor should they overlook the advantages we bring to this fight."

Truth: "The Bush administration are as brutal an enemy that America's democracy has ever faced. They're unconstrained by any notion of loyalty, or by the U.S. Constitution. No one should underestimate the difficulties ahead, nor should they overlook the advantages we bring to this civil war."

Quote: "Some observers look at the job ahead and adopt a self-defeating pessimism. It is not justified. With every random bombing and with every funeral of a child, it becomes more clear that the extremists are not patriots, or resistance fighters -- they are murderers at war with the Iraqi people, themselves."

Truth: Once again Bush unwittingly is telling us to fight the GOP's corrupt and fascist ideology. "With every tax dollar that is wasted and every U.S. soldier that is killed, it becomes more clear the the Bush extremists are not patriots, or conservatives -- they are evil fascist at war with the American people, themselves."

Quote: "Some observers also claim that America would be better off by cutting our losses and leaving Iraq now. This is a dangerous illusion, refuted with a simple question: Would the United States and other free nations be more safe, or less safe, with Zarqawi and bin Laden in control of Iraq, its people, and its resources? Having removed a dictator who hated free peoples, we will not stand by as a new set of killers, dedicated to the destruction of our own country, seizes control of Iraq by violence."

Truth: In this statement Bush is distorting the facts to try and gain support of his immoral actions against the people of Iraq. He posses an absurd question and then paints dictators with a broad brush as people who hate "free peoples". Down here in Texas we have a saying for this type of phony rhetoric; "Don't piss on my boots and tell me it's raining.".

Quote: "There's always a temptation, in the middle of a long struggle, to seek the quiet life, to escape the duties and problems of the world, and to hope the enemy grows weary of fanaticism and tired of murder. This would be a pleasant world, but it's not the world we live in. The enemy is never tired, never sated, never content with yesterday's brutality. This enemy considers every retreat of the civilized world as an invitation to greater violence. In Iraq, there is no peace without victory. We will keep our nerve and we will win that victory. (Applause.)"

Truth: Once again Bush is unwitting telling us to keep fighting him at every opportunity. "In America, there is no peace with a Republican in the White House. We will keep our nerve and we will win against these GOP fascist. (Big Applause.)"

Quote: "America is making this stand in practical ways. We're encouraging our friends in the Middle East, including Egypt and Saudi Arabia, to take the path of reform, to strengthen their own societies in the fight against terror by respecting the rights and choices of their own people. We're standing with dissidents and exiles against oppressive regimes, because we know that the dissidents of today will be the democratic leaders of tomorrow. We're making our case through public diplomacy, stating clearly and confidently our belief in self-determination, and the rule of law, and religious freedom, and equal rights for women, beliefs that are right and true in every land, and in every culture. (Applause.)"

Truth: "The American people must make a stand against the Bush administration in every way possible. We must encourage our friends in Europe and Asia to help us fight back against these evil fascist in the Bush administration, and to strengthen their own societies against these right-wing extremist who seek to concentrate wealth and opportunity into the hands of a few corrupt families. We need to put ourselves into the shoes of the innocent people of Iraq, Palestine, and Mexico who are poor, oppressed, and powerless so that we will never be standing in their shoes for real." Finally, Bush's sums things up by telling us what his administration has not done, and is not doing.

Quote: "The time has come for all responsible Islamic leaders to join in denouncing an ideology that exploits Islam for political ends, and defiles a noble faith."

Truth: "The time has come for all responsible democratic leaders of the world to join the American people in denouncing the corrupt fascist ideology of the Bush administration that exploits Christianity for political ends, and defiles a noble faith."

Quote: "Many people of the Muslim faith are proving their commitment at great personal risk. Everywhere we have engaged the fight against extremism, Muslim allies have stood up and joined the fight, becoming partners in a vital cause....These brave citizens know the stakes -- the survival of their own liberty, the future of their own region, the justice and humanity of their own tradition -- and that United States of America is proud to stand beside them. (Applause.)"

Truth: "Many people of the Christian faith are proving their commitment at great person risk. Everywhere we must engage the fight against the extremist in the Bush administration. Christian allies can stand up and join the fight, becoming partners in a vital cause that is freedom and democracy. These brave citizens know the stakes -- the survival of their own liberty, the future of their own government, the justice and humanity of their own legal system, and the right to practice the religion of their choice. We must stand proud as Americans or the Bush administration will force us to live on our knees, and maybe die on their meathooks. (Big Applause.)"

Quote: "Throughout history, tyrants and would-be tyrants have always claimed that murder is justified to serve their grand vision -- and they end up alienating decent people across the globe. Tyrants and would-be tyrants have always claimed that regimented societies are strong and pure -- until those societies collapse in corruption and decay. Tyrants and would-be tyrants have always claimed that free men and women are weak and decadent -- until the day that free men and women defeat them."

Truth: Once again Bush is unwittingly calling himself a tyrant and a murder. He is encouraging us to defeat him and his right-wing ideology to secure our freedoms and the freedoms of future generations.

Quote: "We don't know the course of our own struggle -- the course our own struggle will take -- or the sacrifices that might lie ahead. We do know, however, that the defense of freedom is worth our sacrifice. We do know the love of freedom is the mightiest force of history. And we do know the cause of freedom will once again prevail.

May God bless you. (Applause.)"

Truth: "We know that if we do nothing to stop the GOP our children and grand-children will struggle, suffer, and pay for the sacrifice we did not make. We also know that we have another choice, the Democratic Party. We love our children, our country, our freedoms, and our government and it is worth our sacrifice to save them all. The GOP has had our prayers and our dreams in the palms of their hands for the past six years and they have failed us again and again. It is time to make some sacrifices to take our government back. We can do better and we will do better when the GOP is back in the minority. May you bless yourself because God gave you life. (Big Applause.)"

President Bush took a golden opportunity to give us the facts and tell us his plan, but instead he tried to shove a bunch of nebulous generalities down our throats. His hateful threatening words in this speech, and his actions, and lack of actions, since taking office paint a picture of an evil ideology being pushed forward by evil men who think they have nothing to lose. So far it has been the American people on the losing end of this anti-democratic ideology, but that was yesterday.
