Spitzer’s Sex Life Is Weapon of Mass Distraction for a Bunch of Bad News for Bush

Citizens For Legitimate Government
March 13, 2008
‘It is the latest hunting ground.’ ‘DC Madam’ comments on Spitzer scandal 12 Mar 2008 Deborah Jeane Palfrey, the so-called DC Madam, shared her thoughts on the Spitzer scandal with CLG’s Lori Price on Wednesday. Ms. Palfrey said, "Without question in my mind, escort and adult service businesses – which cater to high-powered and influential clients – are being used as the new weapon of choice in American politics. It is the latest hunting ground."
Spitzer’s Sex Life Is Weapon of Mass Distraction for Bunch of Bad News for Bush 10 Mar 2008 By Lori Price On Monday, we learned: The Iraq war will top 3 trillion dollars; a former Pentagon official has written a book attacking the CIA and other US officials over the US-led Iraq war; 5 8 US soldiers were killed in a Baghdad blast; an Iraqi tribal leader – the head of an ‘Awakening Council’ – and three others were killed in a Diyala province suicide bombing; CIA torture will continue, per Bush; the House Judiciary Committee has filed suit to force two White House officials to provide information about the firing of U.S. attorneys; more trouble for Carlyle group has surfaced; oil has soared to $108 $110 per barrel; gas prices have reached a new record; a lawsuit has been filed claiming that the Fish and Wildlife Service is now in breach of its own mandate; an AP investigation has revealed that a vast array of pharmaceuticals are in the US water supply. Oh. Last but not least: The Dow and Nasdaq are down hundreds of points, again. But, here is the mainstream media’s headline: Spitzer Is Linked to Prostitution Ring.
Experts: Indictments Loom For Spitzer –Former Governor Could Face Myriad of Charges 12 Mar 2008 Eliot Spitzer’s resignation Wednesday spares him and the state the spectacle of an impeachment, but what about an indictment? It was a rare and unequivocal declaration by U.S. Attorney Michael Garcia: "There is no agreement between this office and Gov. Eliot Spitzer, relating to his resignation or any other matter." [What about Bush? No indictments for him?]
FBI Watched Spitzer Before February Incident 12 Mar 2008 Weeks before a hotel meeting with a prostitute that threatens to derail his career, the FBI staked out New York Gov. Eliot L. Spitzer at the same hotel in an unsuccessful effort to catch him with a high-priced call girl, according to a person with knowledge of the investigation. The FBI placed a surveillance team on Spitzer at the Mayflower Hotel for the first time on Jan. 26, after concluding from a wiretapped conversation that he might try to meet with a prostitute when he traveled to Washington to attend a black-tie dinner, the source said Tuesday.
New York Governor Eliot Spitzer Resigns 12 Mar 2008 Gov. Eliot Spitzer, reeling from revelations that he had been a client of a prostitution ring, announced his resignation today at his headquarters in Manhattan. Mr. Spitzer’s resignation is to be effective Monday, and Lt. Gov. David A. Paterson is to be sworn in to replace him. [Too bad he didn't start an illegal war or waterboard anyone - he'd be free and clear.]

Spitzer Announces Resignation (Transcript) 12 Mar 2008
Cui bono? In July 2007, Eliot Spitzer was admonished for his administration’s involvement in ordering the State Police to record the whereabouts of State Senate majority leader Joseph L. Bruno. Joseph L. Bruno (R) will assume the position of Acting Lieutenant Governor of New York on March 17, 2008, while keeping his role as the majority leader of the New York State Senate. In April, Bruno also appeared to hold veto power over two other Spitzer initiatives: gay marriage and campaign finance reform. He challenged Spitzer to restore the state’s death penalty law. He also has criticised the Governor’s plan to issue driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants.
AG Mukasey Aware of Spitzer Investigation 11 Mar 2008 Gov. Eliot Spitzer’s role in a prostitution scandal grew out of a public corruption inquiry triggered by his movement of large amounts of cash from several bank accounts to one that operated by a call-girl ring, a law enforcement official said Tuesday. Spitzer was the initial target of the investigation and was tracked using court-ordered wiretaps that appear to have recorded him arranging for a prostitute to meet him at a Washington hotel in mid-February, the official said… Attorney General Michael Mukasey was made aware of the investigation because it involved a high-ranking political official the Bush regime was gunning for Joe Wilson er, Admiral Fallon er, Eliot Spitzer. [See: AG Mukasey blocking investigation of criminal acts by Bush advisors 29 Feb 2008 Attorney General Michael Mukasey has now decided not to investigate White House chief of staff Josh Bolten and former White House counsel Harriet Miers for contempt of Congress. See: Justice Dept. 'Cannot' Probe Waterboarding, Mukasey Says 08 Mar 2008 The attorney general yesterday rejected growing congressional calls for a criminal investigation of the CIA's use of simulated drownings [torture] to extract information from its prisoners.]
Impeachment Proceeding? [Gee, I've waited *so long* for this headline, but no. Not Bush for war--Spitzer for sex.] Republicans Set Deadline For Governor’s Ousting: ‘I’ve Asked Him To Resign’ 11 Mar 2008 If Gov. Eliot Spitzer opts to roll the dice and not resign, state Republican leadership will force him to go all-in and call for his impeachment from office, according to a state Assemblyman, who admitted he asked the governor to step down. Sources told CBS 2 HD shortly after it was reported that the governor was linked to a prostitution ring that he would likely hand in his resignation, which could happen within the next 36 hours. [MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell just asked Richard Stengel, TIME managing editor, 'Does any of this remind us of Monica Lewinsky?' Why yes, Andrea, it does! Democrats are impeached (or threatened with impeachment) for illegal sex; Republicans are re-installed for their illegal sex, illegal wars, illegal wiretapping, torture, torching of the Constitution, destroying the environment, eradicating endangered species and tanking the economy. --LRP]
Pressure mounts on Spitzer to quit 11 Mar 2008 With pressure mounting to resign Tuesday over a call-girl scandal, Gov. Eliot Spitzer found himself with few friends and lots of powerful [Reichwing] enemies… Republicans began talking impeachment, and few if any fellow Democrats were willing to defend him. [Oh, but what about David Vitter? See: The Double Hypocrisy of the Rightwing: The Vitter's Victual By Michael Rectenwald 16 Jul 2007.]
Spitzer Is Linked to a Sex Ring as Client 11 Mar 2008 Gov. Eliot Spitzer was a client of a high-end prostitution ring broken up last week by federal authorities, according to law enforcement officials, a development that threatened to end his career and turned the state’s political world upside down.
It Wasn’t the Sex; Suspicious $$ Transfers Led to Spitzer –Officials Say Spitzer Is ‘Client 9′ in a Federal Complaint Against the Prostitution Ring 10 Mar 2008 The federal investigation of a New York prostitution ring was triggered by Gov. Eliot Spitzer’s suspicious money transfers, initially leading agents to believe Spitzer was hiding bribes, according to federal officials.
Predatory Lenders’ Partner in Crime –How the Bush Administration Stopped the States From Stepping In to Help Consumers By Eliot Spitzer 14 Feb 2008 Several years ago, state attorneys general and others involved in consumer protection began to notice a marked increase in a range of predatory lending practices by mortgage lenders… Even though predatory lending was becoming a national problem, the Bush administration looked the other way and did nothing to protect American homeowners. In fact, the government chose instead to align itself with the banks that were victimizing consumers. Predatory lending was widely understood to present a looming national crisis. This threat was so clear that as New York attorney general, I joined with colleagues in the other 49 states in attempting to fill the void left by the federal government.

I believe it. Spitzergate is a weapon of mass deception.
March 13th, 2008 at 12:56 pm
Though there is much truth in this artical, I wish it could get beyond the parties of Democrat and republican and see that it is all the same party, all the same corruption, all the same in destruction of rights and liberties… all the same in the destruction of this county. Yes, 5, 10, 50 years from now there just may be an america, but it will not be a free America, not if things continue on its current path.

And they train the people to go ape s--- over this stuff thanks to celebrity tablets and soap operas. America eats it up, its all the masses think about. Good logic America great job.

Why aren’t we hearing what’s important instead of this trash? MAJOR STORY is the neurological disease caused to those in meat processing plants where pork brains are blown out of carcass head cavities. What is disabling production line workers neurologically? This has been going on since 2006 and we’re just NOW hearing about it? It’s bad enough the production line workers are coming down with this neuro diasbility, but remember air circulates all through pork processing plants and the same crud HAS to be comtaminating commercial pork sold in stores.
Why is this being buried?

Spitzer’s position is destroyed for soliciting prostitution while the mass-murderers Bush and Cheney get a pass?
No wonder the rate of depression and drug-abuse continues to rise. Stop this planet, I want to get off!
March 13th, 2008 at 5:42 pm
I said it the first day the story broke: what the f--- is really going on while the airwaves are dominated for the next week with another politician and his exposed hypocrisy.
Maybe he is another false flag operation to mask the dastardly deeds of Washington Zionists.
Keep building pharmacies on every corner so people can stay legally drugged up and never know what the hell the truth, or reality is.

March 13th, 2008 at 7:18 pm
The title of this article is true, and self explanatory. Just yet another media circus event to divert attention from the real scandals, fool the sheeple, and give the corporate media something to do to help break up the usual monotany at the office, and alleviate the boredom of having to drone on continually about global warming, Al Qaeda, and the 2008 puppet show.

How the Bush administration stopped the states from stepping in to help consumers.
http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/031208J.shtml
When history tells the story of the subprime lending crisis and recounts its devastating effects on the lives of so many innocent homeowners, the Bush administration will not be judged favorably. The tale is still unfolding, but when the dust settles, it will be judged as a willing accomplice to the lenders who went to any lengths in their quest for profits. So willing, in fact, that it used the power of the federal government in an unprecedented assault on state legislatures, as well as on state attorneys general and anyone else on the side of consumers.

Wow, this need to be exposed to the whole world.

Proof!
On Cnn.com right now, the headlining story is “Spitzers call girls’ myspace page”. However, on the side, mixed in with all the other “news” stories is the link to an article titled “Iraq, Al Qaeda Not Linked, Pentagon Says”. Weird, one would think that the Pentagon admitting there was never a link between these “terrorists” from 9/11 and Iraq would be more worthy of the public’s time, and thought, than some story about a call girls my space. But then again, that would just make too much sense..

The $200 billion bail-out for predator banks and Spitzer charges are intimately linked
By Greg Palast
Reporting for Air America Radio’s Clout
March 14th, 2008
[To hear it, click on the link below…]
While New York Governor Eliot Spitzer was paying an ‘escort’ $4,300 in a hotel room in Washington, just down the road, George Bush’s new Federal Reserve Board Chairman, Ben Bernanke, was secretly handing over $200 billion in a tryst with mortgage bank industry speculators.
Both acts were wanton, wicked and lewd. But there’s a BIG difference. The Governor was using his own checkbook. Bush’s man Bernanke was using ours.
This week, Bernanke’s Fed, for the first time in its history, loaned a selected coterie of banks one-fifth of a trillion dollars to guarantee these banks’ mortgage-backed junk bonds. The deluge of public loot was an eye-popping windfall to the very banking predators who have brought two million families to the brink of foreclosure.

Spitzer’s Real Scandal
“Eliot Spitzer is like the good-looking bouncer in a bar, who is secretly dealing drugs,” explained forensic microbiologist Mike Copass. We were in a San Diego bar this July, down near the water in Ocean Beach. Copass had acted as a facilitator of San Diego’s 9/11 Citizen’s Grand Jury, an extra-legal group which mounted a mock trial in April.
Copass has degrees from Stanford and Harvard, and an eager glint in his eye. Despite his preppy appearance, Copass makes some pretty radical allegations: that Eliot Spitzer acted as a firewall, preventing public disclosure of his friends’ roles in the anthrax attacks that occurred shortly after 9/11, in addition to facilitating his associates’ windfall from the bloated insurance pay-outs at the World Trade Center. He even accuses Spitzer of covering up the real perpetrators of the 9/11 attack itself.
Last fall, Eliot Spitzer was swept into the governor’s mansion with 70 per cent of the vote. His public reputation was that of a heroic fighter of white collar crime. Earlier he bragged about being “very close” to Hillary Clinton. He hinted he wouldn’t refuse an invitation to run for vice president, if his friend Hillary got the nomination.

I thought this was nothing but a big distraction. Show me a NWO politician who isn’t involved in something this serious. Anyone remember this cartoon from SNL from a few years ago?

Do you know why this Weapon of Mass Distraction is so successful? Because you fools are giving it so much attention. Stop feeding the rodents. They’ll eventually go away if there’s no more food to eat.

Ron Paul on Eliot Spitzer: He acted badly but didn’t deserve this
Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas), he of the quixotic GOP presidential campaign and unique policy positions, is never one to be shy about his opinions. Take the case of fallen New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer (D), whose political career fell apart this week after his liaisons with high-priced call girls became public. Spitzer resigned his office effective Monday.
Most politicians from both sides of the aisle publicly (at least) offered condolences for Spitzer and his poor family, including his three daughters, but didn’t — of course — defend Spitzer’s atrocious behavior.
But for Paul, Spitzer’s downfall at the hands of a Justice Dept. investigation shows government at its worst. Yes, Spitzer climbed to power on the backs of political enemies he destroyed, making him not a swell guy, but he didn’t deserve what happened to him. The FBI should have never been allowed to listen in to his phone call in the first place, according to the Texas Republican.
Here’s the statement Paul made on the House floor last night. It’s worth reading, at least for the enlightenment it gives into Paul’s view of the world, which basically comes down to who controls the money:
“Madam Speaker, it has been said that ‘he who lives by the sword shall die by the sword.’ And in the case of Eliot Spitzer, this couldn’t be more true. In his case it’s the political sword, as his enemies rejoice in his downfall. Most people, it seems, believe he got exactly what he deserved.
“The illegal tools of the state brought Spitzer down, but think of all the harm done by Spitzer in using the same tools against so many other innocent people. He practiced what could be termed ‘economic McCarthyism,’ using illegitimate government power to build his political career on the ruined lives of others.
“No matter how morally justified his comeuppance may be, his downfall demonstrates the worst of our society. The possibility of uncovering personal moral wrongdoing is never a justification for the government to spy on our every move and to participate in sting operations.
“For government to entice a citizen to break a law with a sting operation — that is, engaging in activities that a private citizen is prohibited by law from doing — is unconscionable and should clearly be illegal.
“Though Spitzer used the same tools to destroy individuals charged with economic crimes that ended up being used against him, gloating over his downfall should not divert our attention from the fact that the government spying on American citizens is unworthy of a country claiming respect for liberty and the Fourth Amendment.
“Two wrongs do not make a right. Two wrongs make it doubly wrong.
“Sacrifice of our personal privacy has been ongoing for decades but has rapidly accelerated since 9/11. Before 9/11, the unstated goal of collecting revenue was the real reason for the erosion of our financial privacy. When 19 suicidal maniacs attacked us on 9/11, our country became convinced that further sacrifice of personal and financial privacy was required for our security.
“The driving force behind this ongoing sacrifice of our privacy has been fear and the emotional effect of war rhetoric — war on drugs, war against terrorism and the war against Third World nations in the Middle East who are claimed to be the equivalent to Hitler and Nazi Germany.
“But the real reason for all this surveillance is to build the power of the state. It arises from a virulent dislike of free people running their own lives and spending their own money. Statists always demand control of the people and their money.
“Recently we’ve been told that this increase in the already intolerable invasion of our privacy was justified because the purpose was to apprehend terrorists. We were told that the massive amounts of information being collected on Americans would only be used to root out terrorists. But as we can see today, this monitoring of private activities can also be used for political reasons. We should always be concerned when the government accumulates information on innocent citizens.
“Spitzer was brought down because he legally withdrew cash from a bank — not because he committed a crime. This should prompt us to reassess and hopefully reverse this trend of pervasive government intrusion in our private lives.
“We need no more Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act! No more Violent Radicalization & Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Acts! No more torture! No more Military Commissions Act! No more secret prisons and extraordinary rendition! No more abuse of habeas corpus! No more Patriot Acts!
“What we need is more government transparency and more privacy for the individual!”
