Resolved, that President George W. Bush be impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors, and that the following articles of impeachment be exhibited to the United States Senate:

Articles of impeachment exhibited by the House of Representatives of the United States of America in the name of itself and of the people of the United States of America, in maintenance and support of its impeachment against President George W. Bush for high crimes and misdemeanors.

In his conduct while President of the United States, George W. Bush, in violation of his constitutional oath to faithfully execute the office of President of the United States and, to the best of his ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, and in violation of his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed, has committed the following abuses of power.

John McCain's energy plan is a real FREE MARKET plan: defend and preserve Phil Gramm, his campaign adviser's 2000 law, the Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000 and keep the Enron loophole open, through which Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley and other investment banks gauge consumers by speculating on oil futures, manipulating the price and buying oil themselves. McCain and the whole conservative noise machine behind him fault the lack of oil drilling for rising oil prices. In fact there are 68 million acres of unused domestic drilling sites licensed to oil companies in more than 10,000 licenses. Oil companies are keeping oil in the ground and looking for more federal land grab in order to boost their stock price. In fact the whole game is to boost speculator and shareholder value, not to help the real economy. Most of Exxon's record profits for instance went to a massive, historically unprecedented program to buy back their own shares, not to build new refineries or researching alternatives. Now they are asking for more taxpayer and government handouts and blaming democrats for not handing it to them.

The conservative agenda after 8 years of Bush is clear: deregulate, steal pillage and get away with it while wrecking devastation on the real economy.

On the 29th of October, a trial begins in a Federal courtroom in Washington DC. The defendant in the case is our own distinguished advisory board member Catherine Austin Fitts. The plaintiff in the case is one John Ervin of Ervin Associates, a mortgage servicer for HUD. Ervin has brought the case using a Federal whistle blower statute (qui tam) [i] that allows private citizens to bring suit against parties alleged to have defrauded the government, and rewards them with a percentage of the recovered money. Ervin began eight years ago with more than 30 offences alleged against Fitts. He is now down to a handful, technical and immaterial in their financial impact one way or another on the government, Fitts, or anyone else. The case is ironic in many respects. Fitts, a HUD contractor, was fired "for convenience," which does not mean that she was terminated for wrongdoing. Ervin and Asscoiates themselves were fired some time back by HUD "for cause," meaning that they were fired for non-performance under a contract. Yet here Ervin is taking Fitts to court, ostensibly on behalf of the government and taxpayer.
(...)
Hamilton made the process of default resolution more transparent and less cosy and raised the cost of buying defaulted loans considerably. No wonder that Fitts angered certain people and institutions. If you stop and reflect on what Hamilton's actions meant from the standpoint of cash flow and profit, you will see what I mean. The impact was to raise the amount recovered by HUD (i.e. the taxpayer) by over $2 billion, which means in effect, to reduce the profit that would have gone to the likes of the Blackstone Group, Goldman Sachs, GE and Harvard by at least that much. Stick a multiple of say, eighteen on the stock price of the exchange traded firms and you begin to see what sort of impact that would have. And one can surmise from the reaction of Harvard's Eisenson quoted above what the impact on Harvard's investment in its HUD servicing companies NHP and WMF would be.
