OK Democrats, Prove Yourselves: Investigate Cheney’s Energy Meetings!
Excerpt posted with permission of TVNL editor:

By taking impeachment off the table before a single investigation is launched, before a single subpoena is issued and before a single confirmation of high crimes committed is achieved (in an official Congressional forum that is…we have plenty of confirmations of high crimes by this administration), the new Democratic leadership is proving true my assessment of our new Congress. It is starting to look like we got an oil change when we needed a blood transfusion. Not only did we get a simple oil change but it looks like they are still not changing the filter on this same old engine that is driving us all down a road to hell.

Well here is a way to measure the sincerity and dedication to democracy of this new Democratic leadership. Watch how they address Dick Cheney’s secret energy policy meetings or just watch to see if they address it at all! For those of you who do not know, and why should you know…the criminal corporate media pretended it never happened, before the events of 9/11 unfolded Dick Cheney decided that the nation’s energy policy decision making process should be kept secret from the citizens of this nation and from Congress. He also decided that the only participants in the process should be the rich corporations who can derive huge profits by controlling the energy supplies that we all depend on. Cheney also decided that energy policy meetings were no place for any people who had ideas about or solutions to the many problems faced by the world as a result of a growing dependency on expensive, polluting, global warming causing, war precipitating fossil fuels!

Well thankfully I was not the only person to see the obvious sinister nature of the Cheney energy policy agenda. I actually went as far as to accuse Cheney of delivering the events of September 11th 2001 to us personally, or at least having foreknowledge of those events based on the fact that he kept these meetings secret. And guess what…my accusation went from conspiracy theory to reasonable suspicion when Cheney was forced by a court to disclose maps and documents pertaining to Iraq’s oil and energy infrastructure a used in his preparing our energy policy. Why this sudden change? Because at the time of the policy meetings we were not at war with Iraq, we had trade sanctions with Iraq, our only energy agreements with Iraq came by way of the food for oil program that had been in place, and that the only realistic and reasonable assessment how or why Cheney could have used that information at the time was if our access to Iraq’s energy would change dramatically! At the time there was no provocation for war with Iraq. As a matter of fact both Condoleezza Rice and the American traitor Colon Powell (who was a good soldier, but not to his nation), publicly declared Iraq to be contained and no threat to anyone. As a matter of fact they said that Iraq could not even pose a conventional threat, let alone a WMD threat!

Now do the math....

1. YES!! THE ENERGY CRISIS and Cheney's part in rigging the
game. This is a righteous and admiriable thing to get into. It is one of the first really big crimes the bush** regime committed. It took us to Iraq, it enabled ENRON to scam California by making old Kenny Boy think anything goes. It is soooooo long overdue. And maybe we can just send Cheney to Alcatraz (or someplace comparable.)

3. Let 's not forget who attended
The terminator Arnold was attending the energy policy meeting. He was part of their plan to take over control of a blue state and steal the budget surplus that California had at the time (35 or 45 billions dollars). What did Arnold know and when did he know it, and he's newly elected and in power. Has his party (GOP) committed a crime against the people of the US and the state of California. If so, then it should be a long jail time for all involved. Energy crisis was created by the (GOP) and they covered up the energy policy meetings by calling them a state secret? Yes, the Democratic party needs to Investigate and let's find the truth to the Enron scandal and the Energy crisis caused by the deregulation (GOP plan).

4. Cheney's energy meetings = Enron Phase II
doing the same thing they did in CA to the entire country. That's why he's fighting so hard to keep them secret.

5. I'm with you on that one!
After all, it's almost always a good idea to start at the beginning...
