Democratic senator: Impeachment 'sucks all of the oxygen out of the air'

Gravel: Impeachment 'will come, in due course'

Excerpt

“Don’t worry about impeachment,” Gravel said in a reassuring tone, adding that he has held discussions with House Judiciary Chair John Conyers (D-MI). “That will come, in due course.”

Gravel plan could land Bush 'behind bars'

Gravel criticized the President as a “lousy and immoral” commander in chief, but also levied criticism at Democrats for only passing a non-binding resolution to end the war. Nor does the former senator believe simply cutting off funds would work. “I filibustered to end funding in the Vietnam War, but it was not successful,” he recalled.

Instead, Gravel revealed a novel plan to bring about an end to the Iraq War, impeachment, or possibly both—and perhaps even land the President 'behind bars.'

“I have drafted a law that says we must get troops out of Iraq in 60 days,” he said. “Leave all the equipment behind…The President must certify that he took troops out. If he violates this law he should go to jail for five years with no parole, and pay a $1 million fine. It says so right in the law.”

He believes he could muster enough support in the House to pass the bill. If the Senate filibusters, he would urge Reid to call for a cloture vote daily. “The media will feed on this like maggots,” said Gravel, who predicts the measure would pass and that a veto could ultimately be overridden. If the President and Vice President then refuse to enact the law, he concluded, “once you have them breaking the law, now you impeach.”

Why is the Zionist media giving this guy any media exposure if he is a threat to them?

Answer:
1)He is not a threat to them but part of their plan to get the goy puppets like Bush?

2) He is a threat and will have something happen to him to prevent him from spoiling the Zionist show?

It may not seem so, but strange things happen in politics, economics, and the entertainment industry. Timing is critical. What kills you at one point in time is what boosts you at another point.

Money rules because it controls public opinion, but public opinion sometimes rises up of its own accord, in which case money follows. It was public opinion that made CNN worry about its fiscal condition, and thus allow Gravel into the debate to be held on June 7th in New Hampshire.

Even if one disagrees with Gravel, he is the only candidate with clear opinions. Americans want a candidate who says anything other than “business as usual.”

A current MSNBC poll rates Gravel as highest in popularity among Democrats, with Hilary as the lowest. Among Republicans, Giuliani and McCain are the lowest. This shows that people are at least thinking about this topic.

Gravel is having an effect. If he makes comments at the next debate like he did at the last, the other candidates will be forced to alter their own rhetoric so they sound more like him.

We can best help Gravel by avoiding the extremes of elation and defeatism. Get involved! Send e-mails to MSM outlets. Post comments on web sites.

We are dealing with cowards, leeches, and lemmings. If they feel that Gravel will win, they will jump in front of his parade and say, “I supported him all along!”

Strange, that the jew controlled media would even let him on tv. He's got my vote.

I can understand how some might think Gravel is an agent of distraction, simply because he has succeeded so far.

However, in my opinion he has succeeded because the standard Zionist weapons aren’t working on him.

Let’s evaluate those weapons…

DIRT: If the Zionists had dirt on Gravel, they would have aired it by now. We know this because the ADL runs the largest private spying organization in the USA. It works closely with federal, state, county, and municipal law enforcement agencies, plus the State Department, plus the Canadian government, European governments, and israel. They are hooked into credit card records, flight itineraries, police records—everything. They have direct access to all FBI, NSA, TSA, and DHS “watch lists.” If you apply for a job with a large corporation, the local ADL office will tell your prospective employer if you are on an ADL blacklist. If the employer hires you anyway, the employer will be added to the blacklist. (If you think this is exaggeration, then you do not know the ADL.)

Indeed, all government agencies depend on the ADL, since the ADL can do things that the American government is not legally allowed to do.

To repeat, if the Zionists had a weapon against Gravel, they would have used it by now.

REDISTRICTING (i.e., gerrymandering): this was how the Zionists got rid of Cynthia McKinney, who dared to criticize AIPAC. With redistricting, your principal support base is simply moved out of your congressional district. However this will not work on Gravel, since he is not currently in office. His "district" is the entire USA.

MONEY: Zionists hold out bribes and threats of monetary punishment. This again will not work on Gravel, since Gravel relies on grass roots support, and will not regard it as the end of the world if he does not win.

ZIONIST-OWNED MEDIA: Power depends on information, and the most direct application of that power is omission. Zionist Jews own CNN, yet they were forced to bow to public pressure and let Gravel into the June 7th debate.

BOTTOM LINE: If Zionists have not been able to destroy Gravel, it does not mean that Gravel is an agent of distraction. In my opinion it means that Gravel cannot be destroyed in the usual ways.

If the Zionists had dirt on Gravel, they would have aired it by now.

Not necessarily... if they obtain blackmail material on him, they may use it to control him behind the scenes. We must advise Gravel to be very, very careful not to fall into a blackmail trap.

We have to face the cold facts. The criminals behind 9/11 and the wars against the Muslim world are not fooling around, and they are not going to allow a real President to take back the country.

If Gravel becomes too much of a nuisance, the media will start doing everything possible to smear him -- including, if necessary, downright fabrications that are difficult to disprove. And if this were to fail, there's blackmail, threats, and as a last resort, a "suicide" a la David Kelly or a "plane crash" a la Paul Wellstone.

Also, keep in mind that the war against Iran is just around the corner, and if it expands to World War III, then America is finished. The Zionists will start the war way before the 2008 elections. They are likely planning the perfect false flag attack right now -- one that is so clever, and which may even include "sacrificing" Jews, that even many 9/11 skeptics would fall for it. Hopefully Olmert's resignation will push it back a few months.
