Is Bush a Sith Lord?
The current episode of Star Wars is dynamite for the duplicitous Bush administration. Palpatine, a Sith Lord masquerading as a galactic Republican, becomes Chancellor of the Galactic Republic through deception. Palpatine uses wars that he instigates to elevate security over the power of the Senate and to become dictator.
In a moment of triumph, Palpatine tells the Senate: “In order to ensure our security and continuing stability, the Republic will be reorganized into the first Galactic Empire, for a safe and secure society.” The senators respond with sustained cheering and applause. Padme says, “So this is how liberty dies, with thunderous applause.”
Sith lords use the powers of the dark side of the force. Jedi knights use the power of the good side. The Jedi are selfless and use their incredible powers to protect the Republic. Sith are evil and crave absolute power.
Palpatine, who is really Darth Sidious, manipulates the Senate and enlists the Jedi Council’s patriotism to “defend” the Republic against a “separatist” army that he secretly directs. The purpose of the orchestrated war is to erode liberty in the name of security. The naïve Jedi catch on too late and are decimated. The Republic falls.

In Episode 2: Attack of the Clones, everybodies favorite, love to hate, idiot character Jar Jar Binks is suckered into proposing the Republic transfer to Emergency Rule that will end the Republic and make Palpatine an Emperor. The Galactic Senate eagerly obliges.
I have the complete copy of Senate Report #93-549 from 1973 and it clearly says in the beginning of the Introduction “A majority of the people of the United States have lived all of their lives under emergency rule. For 40 years, freedoms and governmental procedures guaranteed by the Constitution have, in varying degrees been abridged.
Further reading reveals that F.D.R.’s rushed legislation during his first 100 days added the American people to the “Trading with the Enemies” list still in effect from WW1. This is why Congress wants you to keep your reciepts. All financial transactions are under their totalitarian eyes. I graduated High School in 1972 and was never told this fact. Our Teachers are guilty of fraud and work for fascists. They should know and teach this history or are they just propagandists?
George Lucas is just entertainingly showing us that we live under the rule of the Sith.
Thanks George, love your work.
