GEORGE BUSH EMBARASSES AMERICA AGAIN

The Charter '97 article was short, but ironic. At the NATO summit in Riga, Latvia George Bush met with Alexander Milinkevich, called by Charter '97 "the leader of the democratic forces of Belarus". Perhaps in Charter '97s eyes 14% of the popular vote makes you a leader, maybe 1% of the vote would have also made Milinkevich a leader by those standards.

Bush's flagship statement for this meeting was "we stand together with the Belarusian nation in its fight for freedom." I am sorry to remind President Bush of three important facts.

Number one, The October Revolution was a "fight for freedom".
Number two, The Patriotic War aka WW2 was a "fight for freedom".
Number three, There is no current fight for freedom going on in Belarus because unlike America, Belarus has a good president that the people are proud of.

If there is any fighting over Belarus right now, it is in the minds of the CIA and the State Department as they fight for ways to bring unrest and turmoil to this peaceful and self sufficient country. It must be a fight to devise ways of tricking 10.34 million people into destroying their collective assesets and adopting methods of life that are neither more economicly equitable for all people, or generally safter and better, such as our own methods in America, or the methods we have forced upon our newest friends, the Iraqis.

Perhaps that is the fighting Bush is referring to. This story actually takes a few more twists and turns when you consider the following ironic facts.

Apparantly, Milinkevitch was presented to Bush by Latvian President Vaira Vike-Freiberga. Prsident Freiberga's claim to humanitarian greatness is that he at one time considered combining the day of the SS march with the national memorial holiday.

It seems Latvia is the only country in all of Europe to host annual SS vetran processions commerating the day the divisions were formed.

This isn't George Bush's first meeting with President Vike-Freiberga. On Bush's earlier visit his itenerary included a visit to the Freedom Monument, where SS Leigon Gruppenfuher Rudolf Bangerski's remains were CERIMONIOUSLY re-burried in 1995. I would encourage everyone to read Mark Ane's article entitled "BUSH'S BITBURG?" located at www.thenation.com/doc/20050523/ames

But back to Bush and Milenkevitch, since everyone at this tea party of gentle souls is so concerned with "democracy", I wonder if Milenkevitch questioned Bush about the fate of the POWs and kidnap victims in Iraq and Cuba? I wonder if Milenkevich asked Bush how he would have handle modern Belaurian partisans if he was to attempt a criminal invasion of Belarus similar to his invasion of Iraq? As Belarus is clearly a nation partisans this should be a logical question for Milenkevich to ask Bush.

I wonder if Milenkevich attempted to discuss with Latvian President Vike-Freiberga the civil rights and legal status of the 500,000 ethnic Russians living as stateless persons in Latvia? I would think this subject would be of interest to Milenkevich as he speaks the same language as the Russians, and does he not consider these Russians to be his breathern on some level?

I am comforted to know these quality friends have gotten together to discuss Belarusian democracy.

Lets go over this cast of characters:
1) George Bush - The man resonsible for the condition of the Iraqi people, and leader of the "free" world.
2) The good Latvian President Vaira Vike-Freberga, Proud protector of the stateless Russian Minority and nazi protector.
3) Alexander Milinkevich, Who recently lost the Belarusian presidential election by a landslide and then assisted by our own CIA attempted to start a revolution in his home country. When this CIA sponsored revolution didn't work, Alexander went on tour through Europe petitioning the EU to impose economic sanctions on his countrymen as a reward for their voting their conscience.
So, we have assembled the dream team of democracy here. Impressive.

There are some things the reader should investigate for themselves, such as where the Bush family got is money in the begining. If you are interested in learning about this I suggest reading "How Bush's Grandfather Helped Hitler Rise To Power" by Ben Aris in Berlin and Duncan Campbell in Washington.

I shouldn't inform the reader of the fact that 1,600 Belarusian Nazis were smuggled illegally into the US in the 50's, escaping war crimes prosecution.

I will let you decide whether or not these characters have any influence over the modern republican party, and likely the Belarusian Diaspora in America as well. You can decide that for yourself.

But none of this should bother you, because in Riga, Latvia today, at the NATO summit, George Bush stated " we stand together with the Belarusian Nation for freedom".

Once again, I am embarrassed, mortified, and offended!

You the reader now know what a sickening, horrifying, and darkly ironic spectacle this must have been.
