Put real international pressure on the Bush regime!
Senator Patrick J. Leahy, Democrat of Vermont, used a hearing of the Judiciary Committee to press his idea that Congress should create a “truth commission” to explore and expose the Bush administration’s policies on detention and interrogation. The hearing follows the disclosure this week by the Obama administration of several legal opinions from the Bush administration that outlined a broad view of the reach of presidential authority to fight terrorism. Mr. Leahy, the committee chairman, cited the memorandums as an example of unchecked power that led to abuses. He has not yet fashioned an explicit proposal. “Nothing has done more to damage America’s place in the world than the revelation that this nation stretched the law and bounds of executive power to authorize torture,” Mr. Leahy said. A nonpartisan commission of inquiry, he said, “would shed light on what mistakes were made so that we can learn from these errors.” Six witnesses testified, four in favor of the commission concept and two opposed.

Along with the impeachment movement, if OPEC would do this, we can have the criminals out peacefully and legally in about one week. It is a bit scary but I think it will be well worth it in the long run to be out from under this dark tyrannical rule. Please feel to disagree wit all your wisdom and reason:
Dear OPEC Secretariat and Board of Governors:
I have a request for you to consider. I’m sure that the honorable individual board members and the Secretariat himself must have thought of my proposed request before, then thought against such a radical move. The time has now come when clearly a group of individuals representing nations rich in petroleum and to a great extent regulating the distribution thereof must take appropriate action protect the entire human family of Earth from an evil and greedy group of people.
If you right and honorable people have read this far, you already know I’m speaking of the Bush Administration and his cohorts in the US oil and weapons industries. These persons are subsidizing their oil interests through seizing Iraq oil in a war of aggression. We common American citizens are being forced to pay for weapons to kill innocent woman and children and brave men defending their homelands though taxation and the lives of our brave young soldiers. There are some brave Democrats in the US government trying to change these elitist policies of wonton lies, greed, torture and outright murder. I can prove to you that the Bushmen have fixed elections and made our news media into distributors of fascist corporate sponsored propaganda. We righteous Americans that believe our nation should not rule the Earth; we should become part of the world community of nations and human family, we need your help.
I am asking you all to do the right thing. Refuse to sell oil to the United States until the Bush regime is driven out of office. I tend to be a person holding sectarian and humanistic values, yet if you study the Bush family history, they/he resembles the false prophet and anti-Christ of the Bible. Think about it, he has enough weapons under his command to kill every human several times over. An impeachment movement is growing; Bush recently vetoed a bill setting a timeline for withdraw from Iraq. While you good people have kept the price of oil rather steady, he and his coconspirators are gouging us and making record shattering profits from your products. We citizens of the world from America need you to embargo and sanction these criminals who occupy our highest governmental office as soon as possible. Yes for a short time we will suffer the consequences of your righteous action if you choose to enact sanctions. This suffering will be small and short compared to an eternity of being ruled, as Hugo Chavez says, by the devil himself. I beg of you to meet with the respective governmental counterparts of the nations which you represent the oil industry thereof and discuss such measures.
There are many instances and occasions this preposterous Administration has flaunted and totally denied international law. They are so obviously guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity. They use 9/11 as a false golden amulet, to justify their crimes; then if you study 9/11, you will recall how Bush sat and read the Pet Goat book while Americans died; also how Building Number 7 collapsed as if it was imploded by demolition explosives without ever being struck. Even if they had no prior knowledge or involvement in a false flag 9/11 operation, 9/11 does not justify attacking Afghanistan and Iraq while letting the suspect Bin Laden possibly remain free and alive as a weapon of fear against his own countrymen. Since they cannot be prosecuted internationally, he must be accused of breaking the laws of his nation. I, a citizen of the United States have studied the laws of my nation and have written complaints and petitions against Bush and Cheney, which are attached below. Again please, I would not ask this of you if it was not for the safety and well being of my human family, if it was not a rare occasion when such extreme measures become necessary; use your powers to embargo and sanction the United States, interrupting its supply of oil until George Bush and Dick Cheney are removed from power.
Much thanks and gratitude to your for considering my words,
Sincerely,
Ken Driessen
U.S. Citizen
Petition Demanding members of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives begin Impeachment Proceedings against George Walker Bush immediately.
Facts:
§ 2381 Treason: count one: Only secret orders from the Administration could account for the variance from documented standard procedure resulting in a stand down of forces on September 11, 2001. Count two: Mr. Bush was aware that two planes had hit the World Trade Center while he sat and read a story about a pet goat for about 20 minutes before he acted. Count three: While seated in the highest office of this land, being the ultimate ‘decider’ and supreme commander, his Administration allowed affluent Saudi citizens and relations of Osama Bin Laden to fly when domestic flight by U.S. citizens was prohibited. Count four: it is well within reason to be suspicious of the official story of the collapse of WTC building 7 and if it was done by explosive demolition, George Walker Bush has certainly been complacent and accomplice.
§1001(2)Yfalse statements: count one: many reliable sources, such as UN weapons inspectors and U.S. intelligence officials had proven Bush Administration=s allegation, that Saddam Hussein’s possessed weapons of mass destruction were false. Count two: Bush and his Administration lied to the world about 9/11 connections between Osama Bin Laden, Al Qaeda and Saddam Hussein such allegations were and are false. It can be proven without a doubt, that Bush and his officials lied often and purposefully to start a war of aggression, see the Downing Street memo etc. Not many people know that Iraq’s oil in now controlled by Oil Corporations who Bush and the Republicans gave large tax breaks to.
§ 2441. War crimes: count one: lying to the American people to justify a war of aggression. There was and is no proven connection between Saddam Hussein=s government and 9/11,. Count two: violating international law and moral conscience by okaying the use of cluster bombs and depleted uranium bombs, indiscriminate bombing and killing of civilians, Bush has described himself as the ‘war president’.
§1341. Frauds and swindles: count one: Bush and his Administration have okayed overpayments to weapons manufacture and defense contractor CEO’s in violation of congressionally mandated policy and law.
§1901 carrying on trade and business in the funds of the U.S.: Count one: large election campaign donations had been given to the Bush campaign by energy sector corporations and individual energy company executives, secret meetings between oil company executives and Bush Administration officials occurred. Large tax breaks and environmental laws were relaxed which rewarded energy firms such as ENRON for criminally ripping off American consumers of energy products. Count two: A survey by the Union of Concerned Scientists found 150 climate scientists had personally experienced political interference in their work over the past five years
§ 1510. Obstruction of criminal investigations: count one: withholding of Secret service records indicating times and purposes of White house visits by Jack Abramoff. Count two: Cover up the Valerie Plame/Joseph C. Wilson IV incident. Count three: withholding the topics and content of secret meetings with oil industry executives.
§2340A(c)conspiracy to commit torture: count one: Administration memos redefining torture to allow cruel and unusual punishment and extraordinary rendition of captive persons in violation of US, international law and human conscience.
§222 of Title 47 of the Communications Act: telephone companies are prohibited from giving out information regarding their customers' calling habits. Federal judges have determined that the Bush Administration has violated the law by an illegal spying program contrary to FISA regulations requiring a warrant to be signed by a judge before such spying activities involving U.S. citizens are undertaken.
§2383 insurrection against U.S. authority or the laws thereof: Count one: involved in secret insider CIA workings, Skull and Bones affiliation and other connections and actions are proof that allegiance with certain persons and organizations have prevented George W. Bush from faithfully fo-filling and executing his oath of office.
§208(a)acts affecting personal financial interest which have affected the integrity of his office: It is well known that George H. W. Bush is on the board of the Carlyle Group to this day and George Bush Sr. has does and will profit from war until he and his “War Lord” son are stopped. GWB is, was and will profit somehow from this war; why else on God’s Green Earth would a president allow defense contractor executives to rape the U.S. treasury and the American people?
§225 continuing a financial crimes enterprise: count one: Allowing and being part of a war profiteering scheme. The congress put limits on CEO and defense contractor pay and benefits to keep individuals from profiting from war, because the money used to protect our nation comes from every individual tax payer. See: § 2324. Allowable costs under defense contracts, FY 2001 -- $374,228, This determination is required to be made pursuant to Section 808 of Pub. L. 105-85. The average pay for defense CEOs was $11.6 million in 2004.
Conclusion
Article II Clause IV is the constitutional decree being the basis of this Petition. The authority of the laws themselves is supreme, greater than the authority of individual office holders. In a nation rich with democratic principle, based on constitutionality, no one is above the law, not even members of the President=s Administration, the Vice President, or even the President himself. This has been proven in cases such as: Clinton v. Jones 520 U.S. 681 (1997), and United States v. Nixon 418 U.S. 683 (1974).
Citizens Complaint and Disclosure Alleging Violations of the U.S. Criminal Code by Vice President Richard B. Cheney
There is reason to believe that Vice President Richard B. Cheney, may be guilty and therefore should be charged with the following crimes which are violations of U.S. code numbers: §1001(2)…false statements…, §2340A(c)conspiracy to commit torture, §2383 insurrection against U.S. authority or the laws thereof, §1901 carrying on trade and business in the funds of the U.S., §208(a)acts affecting personal financial interest which have affected the integrity of his office, §203(a)(1) …accepted compensation…, §1341. Frauds and swindles,§225 continuing a financial crimes enterprise.
Facts:
§225 continuing a financial crimes enterprise, §1341. Frauds and swindles.
The Following statements, which include sources, make it clear that it is reasonable for an average American, who may be called as a jurist in the criminal trial of V.P. Richard Cheney, to believe that Halliburton should be defined as an ongoing criminal enterprise within US Code, TITLE 18, PART I, CHAPTER 11, § 225, Continuing financial crimes enterprise:
One U.S. Congressman accused the company "of undermining American foreign policy to the full extent allowed by law." The good Congressman did not mention that Halliburton and subsidiaries paid billions in fines and civil penalties to avoid criminal charges. Halliburton has broken laws and been allowed to pay its way out in what amounts to nothing less than bribery. Halliburton has continually traded with nations, which our government tells us are our enemies. Halliburton has been accused of international human rights violations, but the US ‘officials’ refuse to be subjected to the authority of any world court proceedings. Halliburton's overseas operations included controversial projects in Azerbaijan, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Libya, and Nigeria.

November 04, 2005, Cheney's Office Implicated in Torture of Prisoners:
Vice President Dick Cheney's office was responsible for issuing the directives which led to U.S. soldiers to abuse prisoners in Iraq and Afghanistan, according to a NPR interview with Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, former chief of staff to Secretary of State Colin Powell. Wilkerson says he traced a trail of memos authorizing the questionable practices through Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld's office directly to Cheney's vice presidential staff.
Wilkerson paraphrased the directions given to U.S. soldiers: "We're not getting enough good intelligence and you need to get that evidence, and, oh, by the way, here's some ways you probably can get it. And even some of the ways that they detailed were not in accordance with the spirit of the Geneva Conventions and the law of war."
