<font face="Helvetica, Helvetica" size=3><b>12/31/06 "Information
Clearing House" -- -- T</b></font>he government of France announced
early today that former US President George Walker Bush was executed for
crimes against humanity, after all his legal appeals had been thoroughly
exhausted.<br>
<br>
French liberation forces, the very same who invaded the US back in 2003
to bring democracy to the American people, handed the former President
George W. Bush over to a newly elected, Vichy-style American
administration.<br>
<br>
Shrouded in ski masks to conceal their identity, the American
executioners, who would later identify themselves only as Northeast
liberals, immediately transported their prisoner, a defiant George W.
Bush, from his damp, dirty prison cell in the walled-off enclave in
Washington, DC, to the gallows at an undisclosed location.<br>
<br>
In his hand clutching the same Bible that he had used for his
inauguration back in January 2001, Bush remained defiant to the end,
declaring the French invasion of the US illegal and those Americans who
had collaborated with the hated French "traitors." He called on
all his supporters and opponents, Black and White, Christian and Jewish,
rich and poor, to unite and expel the French invaders from the North
American continent.<br>
<br>
After a lengthy trial by a series of judges, approved by Paris, George W.
Bush was convicted for crimes committed against his own people while he
reigned as governor of the State of Texas in the 1990s.<br>
<br>
Bush was condemned to the gallows for executing 152 Texas prisoners using
lethal chemicals concealed in hypodermic needles. All 151 men and one
woman (Karla Faye Tucker) had proclaimed their innocence and referred to
the Texas legal system as old-West, cowboy-style, kangaroo justice. <br>
<br>
Bush, however, cheated history and never stood trial for his alleged
international crimes, which stemmed from his illegal invasions of Iraq
and Afghanistan. Those actions defied international law and resulted in
the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians, said a
spokesman for the French government.<br>
<br>
On vacation at his villa in Nice, French President Jacques Chirac issued
a brief statement, declaring that justice had been served to the brutal
tyrant who enslaved the American people during his long reign of terror:
"This is an important milestone in America becoming a democracy that
can govern itself." Chirac rejoiced at the collective will of the
American people and concluded his brief statement with his customary
"Vive la France" patriotic boast.<br>
<br>
It was French president Chirac's decision, back in March 2003, to invade
the US in order to abolish America's weapons of mass destruction, sever
links to terrorist groups-such as Britain's MI6 and Israel's Mossad-and
bring peace and security to the special people of French Quebec.
<br>
Chirac often likened the US, along with Israel and Britain, as part of an
"axis of evil."<br>
<br>
Bush, you'll recall, was captured in a spider hole a few miles from his
ranch in Crawford, Texas, back in December 2003. Long-haired, bearded and
wearing his trademark cowboy hat, the former US President was shaking and
begging for mercy, according to the corporate French media. French troops
arrested Bush and mocked the 43rd president of the US with a sarcastic
French greeting: "Le Président Chirac envoie ses égards"
(President Chirac sends his regards).<br>
<br>
Bush supporters, however, dispute this version, and witnesses claim that
Bush was brandishing his defiant smirk and, in the spirit of Davy
Crockett, resisted the French troops and bravely fought them in
hand-to-hand combat as he repeatedly shouted, "God bless
America" at the overwhelming French forces.<br>
<br>
Soon the French called special elections in America, citing the
illegitimacy of the Bush regime that, they claim, had seized power in
2000 in a fraudulent election. The newly formed US government, modeled on
the French parliamentary system, ended years of tyranny inflicted on the
American people who, proclaimed Chirac, are now free to enjoy the
freedoms that the French people have always enjoyed.<br>
<br>
To date the French have spent over 300 billion euros and lost 3,000
soldiers, along with nearly 25,000 wounded, in their special sacrifice to
guarantee security for France, bring peace and democracy to the good and
well-deserving American people, and free them from the tyranny of the
Bush regime and his cabal of neo-Con terrorists.<br>
<br>
Some skeptics, however, claim that the invasion of America had nothing to
do with French security, freeing the American people or eliminating
10,000 nuclear weapons the US possessed at the time of the invasion.
Rather it was to extend French hegemony on the North American continent;
control the vast American natural resources; replace the Petrodollar with
the PetroEuro as the world's reserve currency, and provide security and
prosperity for the newly formed, break-away nation of French Quebec.
Having seceded from Canada after years of persecution through
Anglo-American racism and bigotry, the democratic French nation of Quebec
emerged as the only democracy on the entire North American continent,
claimed Chirac.<br>
<br>
On the streets of American cities, the reaction to the execution of the
former American president was mixed.<br>
<br>
While many traditional liberal Democrats despised the 43rd president,
they remained perplexed and conflicted at the seemingly illegitimate
trial, which defied international law and had all the earmarks of French
manipulation. The former American system, wherein all men are presumed
innocent, has been replaced by a newly inspired French system, modeled
more on Robespierre than on Madison, noted one American, who wanted to
remain anonymous.<br>
<br>
To most of the American people, the sight of their former president,
hanged by a puppet-like government whose strings are pulled in Paris, was
both troubling and humiliating. True, according to recent opinion polls,
71% of Americans despised the tyrant Bush, but 90% of Americans, despite
being "liberated" by the French from the illegal, illegitimate
and dangerous Bush neo-Con regime, hate the French so much more.<br>
<br>
The devout Christian supporters vowed to intensify their resistance to
the French occupation and praised Bush as a martyr. The hanging of Bush,
like the hanging of John Brown back in 1859, said one, will serve as a
lightning rod for war. A spokesman for Chirac chuckled at the remark,
suggesting that John Brown was a terrorist who, like Bush, had been
brought to justice with a rope around his neck. He referred to the
American Civil War, which took place from 1860 to 1865, as well as to the
chaos caused by the 2003 French invasion as simply "sectarian
strife." Stuff happens, he quipped.<br>
<br>
The French corporate media appeared gleeful as it rolled macabre, grainy
video footage of the final minutes of the former US President's life.
French politicians declared another corner has been turned in their
divinely inspired mission to free the American people from the tyranny of
the Bush regime, the British collaborators and all those Judeo-Christian
fascists.<br>
<br>
On the streets of Paris, though, it was still Paris Hilton's exploits
rather than George Bush's execution that remained the most important news
of the day. This, of course, was only eclipsed by the recent decrease in
the price of petrol and the record stock market close of the French CAC
40.<br>
<br>
The citizens of France cannot grasp the ingratitude of the American
people for the sacrifices made by the French in blood and treasure on
their behalf. They claim the Americans are not worthy of democratic
self-rule, citing hundreds of years of their savagery towards Native
Americans, African Americans, a bloody civil war, internment of Japanese
Americans and countless race riots throughout America's turbulent
history. <br>
"Can't these people just get along?" noted one French
pundit.<br>
<br>
George W. Bush has received the justice he denied to his victims, said a
determined Jacques Chirac. When asked if the execution of the former US
president was manipulated by Paris rather than being the will of the
American people, Chirac dodged the question by reciting the lyrics from a
song by Bob Dylan.<br>
<br>
"Remember," he said, "the executioner's face is always
well hidden."<br>
<br>
Yes, "and it's a hard rain that's gonna fall." <br><br>
