BushCo are taking over our country, I think most agree that he is seizing power and changing the face of American Politics and the American Government. But do you know what he is doing Agency by Agency?
An Example of this is the Homeland Defense Organization. The current administration rolled everything they could under one Political Appointee. Rendering all of those agencies powerless to complete their jobs, without BushCo and Rove offering their Approval. Defense, Justice, CIA, NSA, Energy, FEMA, State, Energy, Transportation, Health and Human Services, Nuclear Regulatory, EPA, HUD, Interior, Labor, VA, and Department of Agriculture.
And the whole gament of Independent Agencies & Establishments.
Our Homeland Defense Agency covers everything from Civil Rights to Nuclear weapons.
And that scenario of Appointees at the helm is repeated Agency to Agency, there are more political appointees in the government right now than any previous president.
UPDATE in the Body of the Post
Since 2000, the Administration has added 564 white political appointees and reduced the number of minority political appointees by 273, representing a 50% decline in the proportion of minority political appointees serving in the federal government. In 2000, 26% of political appointees were minorities. By 2005, the proportion was just 13%. And as a proportion of all political appointees, female appointees have declined from 45% of political appointees to 36% over the same period.
So what does this really mean to our government, well it has changed the way we take bids, award money, who we fire, who we elect, and unfortunately, who in the they can destroy or harm and get away with it. Soon there shall be no America Just some bastardized Version of the NPAC New America.

For Example:
To get a Government Contract there is paperwork to complete on the front end. Forms that need completion are; on who you and the company are, where you do business, and why you are the right person to do the job. You get an ID number for completing this set of forms.
See FAR Regulations You should find a few words on NO bribes....
once you have your ID you sign up for Web site notifications of RFQ (requests for quote) or RFI (request for Information)
You receive the RFP/I and write the answers question by question, and return it for review.
Do you see how long and complicated that is, for most Gov Contractors, this is the case.
But for one, a Company Called MZM, not so. All it took was a Bribe:
Carol Lam was investigating this and other Defense Contractor Bribe Schemes.
The smoking gun tying Carol Lam’s firing to the Duke Cunningham case seemed to be contained in an email from Kyle Sampson:
The U.S. attorney in San Diego notified the Justice Department of search warrants in a Republican bribery scandal last May 10, one day before the attorney general’s chief of staff warned the White House of a "real problem" with her, a Democratic senator said yesterday.
The prosecutor, Carol S. Lam, was dismissed seven months later as part of an effort by the Justice Department and the White House to fire eight U.S. attorneys.
UPDATE: I was let go one week after Carol, I was a Defense Contractor Whislteblower. Now I am an unemploye, well just unemlployed.
This is the story of the warpath of dollars that leads all the way to the White House.
So who is MZM? How did they go from a 2 week contract from teh White HOuse for 140K to a 250 Million Blanket Purchase Order?
– Wade’s company MZM Inc. received its first federal contract from the White House. The contract, which ran from July 15 to August 15, 2002, stipulated that Wade be paid $140,000 to "provide office furniture and computers for Vice President Dick Cheney."
– Two weeks later, on August 30, 2002, Wade purchased a yacht for $140,000 for Duke Cunningham. The boat’s name was later changed to the "Duke-Stir." Said one party to the sale: "I knew then that somebody was going to go to jail for that...Duke looked at the boat, and Wade bought it — all in one day. Then they got on the boat and floated away."
Now everyone noticed this rapid rise to MZM, and it's connections to GPR Representative "Duke" Cunningham, but the Democrats in California did, and they acted, May 2005:
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) said in a television appearance yesterday that Lam "sent a notice to the Justice Department saying that there would be two search warrants" in a criminal investigation of defense contractor Brent R. Wilkes and Kyle "Dusty" Foggo, who had just quit as the CIA’s top administrator amid questions about his ties to disgraced former GOP congressman Randy "Duke" Cunningham.
The next day, May 11, D. Kyle Sampson, then chief of staff to Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales, sent an e-mail message to William Kelley in the White House counsel’s office saying that Lam should be removed as quickly as possible, according to documents turned over to Congress last week.
"Please call me at your convenience to discuss the following," Sampson wrote, referring to "[t]he real problem we have right now with Carol Lam that leads me to conclude that we should have someone ready to be nominated on 11/18, the day her 4-year term expires."
The prosecutor, Carol S. Lam, was dismissed seven months later as part of an effort by the Justice Department and the White House to fire eight U.S. attorneys.
In order to save their skin, and stall the investigation, MZM Was bought out by VERITAS. Connection? VERITAS is the almost exclusive back up software for ALL of the government Agencies.
In conclusion, to tie all of this together:
The First real coup: In an op-ed entitled "Terrorized by ‘War on Terror’: How a Three-Word Mantra Has Undermined America", Mr. Brzezinski writes
The Second Real Coup was the Creation of Homeland Defense
The Third, commandeering the Army to Iraq, so the American People have NO one to defend them
The fourth coup was the ability of the white House to Circumvent the Policies in the GSA, to get contracts to their friends. Rendering this country in the hands of Robber Barons, or the Beltway Bandits as we are called in the DC Area.
And the fifth. The "Restructuring" Of the Face on the AG's Office. (no link, we all know where they are at)
And we the American People? well no one is impeached yet.
No one is in jail for these acts of treason.
And the Senate and House are just watching, with there hands out for Campaign and Bribe Money. Note I did not discriminate republican to democrat, I believe there is serious corruption on both sides of the aisle. And I think, most of the corruption surrounds the Senators and Representatives need to Raise Millions of dollars to keep their jobs.
Btu the way BushCo is going, if he starts with Iran, none of this will be a worry. Declare a state of Emergency, Chertoff rules all the agencies and gets power over everything and everyone in the country, and no elections, no senators no representatives to worry about anymore
