I honestly believe that a lot of it is the busted egos and noses completely out of joint from Goss's reorganization ... I think this has hit them hard .. real hard. They've been the elite class for years .. civil servants, protected, arrogant, cocky and controlling. They're holding onto the shreds of their former grandeur. They've been shown the door, marginalized .. their egos are pierced, and the resentment is palpable.
It's just like the Dims .. in power for FORTY YEARS .. and then trashed .. empires lost .. and they realize the prestige and standing they've lost, and now there's desperation .. bitterness .. lashing out to recover that gloss and glitter at ANY cost.
I DO NOT underestimate the Dim PACS and supporters .. they're supplying the $$ for the resources these traitors need... and there's millions and millions of dollars available to anyone who can help facilitate the downfall and destruction of George W. Bush.
Moveon.org - Relationships with Other Organizations
Financial contributors
The San Francisco Foundation Community Initiative Funds, a 501(c)(3) organization affiliated with the San Francisco Foundation, began serving as a fiscal sponsor for MoveOn in 2000, providing a channel through which individuals can make directed, tax-exempt donations to support its work. In 2001, SFFCIF's IRS Form 990 (available from GuideStar.org) show that it provided MoveOn with $17,698 in funding.
Other financial supporters of MoveOn include Iraq Peace Fund, an effort of the Tides Foundation ((((ONE OF TEREZZA HUNT'S FAVORITE CAUSES)))
Richard & Rhoda Goldman Fund
MoveOn's spending as an advocacy group is listed at Open Secrets: Advocacy Group Spending ("data is based on records released by the Internal Revenue Service on Monday, March 08, 2004").
In late 2003, Moveon.org became the subject of controversy when it was discovered that websites outside the United States had been set up for non-US citizens to make donations to MoveOn for the explicit purpose of defeating Bush in the 2004 presidential elections.
Under U.S. law, a presidential campaign cannot legally accept foreign donations. While MoveOn is not bound by this restriction, it nonetheless chose not to accept any more funds from overseas to avoid the perception of impropriety. It has not disclosed how much money it received from overseas before shutting these avenues down.
According to the March 10, 2004, Washington Post, "The Democratic 527 organizations have drawn support from some wealthy liberals determined to defeat Bush. They include financier George Soros and his wife, Susan Weber Soros, who gave $5 million to America Coming Together (ACT) and $1.46 million to MoveOn.org; Peter B. Lewis, chief executive of the Progressive Corp., who gave $3 million to ACT and $500,000 to MoveOn; and Linda Pritzker, of the Hyatt hotel family, and her Sustainable World Corp., who gave $4 million to the joint fundraising committee

And no one comes close to the venom and vitriol of George Soros, nor has anyone else got the disposable funds to finance his obsession: the destruction of George W. Bush:
Soros: Bush Administration
According to Bloomberg news, September 28, 2002, George Soros said that "the final straw came on June 1, 2002, when U.S. President George W. Bush stepped before 989 graduating officers at the U.S. Military Academy in West Point, New York, and changed American foreign policy. The U.S., the president said, would now take offensive military action against any country that it suspected of posing a terrorist threat, a strategy later dubbed the Bush Doctrine."
Soros said the Bush administration "violated human rights and damaged American security by invading Iraq and deposing the regime of Saddam Hussein. 'The idea that we can impose our will on the world is really just the wrong idea,'" he said, vowing "to do everything in his power to prevent Bush from winning re-election.
He "joined forces with Democratic Party allies in organized labor, the environmental movement and women's groups ... [and, in] July 2003, Soros kick-started a network of nonprofit political organizations with an $18.5 million contribution."
According to Byron Wien, senior investment strategist at Morgan Stanley and a close Soros friend, "George was violent on this before a Democratic candidate was even chosen, ... It was anybody but Bush." [2] (http://quote.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=nifea&&sid=aVPlVg8vm8wg)
[edit]Soros: American Supremacy In a March 14, 2003, Op-Ed, Soros compared the Bush administration's "pursuit of American supremacy" to "a boom-bust process or bubble in the stock market." Both, he argued, "have a solid basis in reality but reality is distorted by misconception. In this case, the dominant position of the US is the reality, the pursuit of supremacy the misconception. Reality can reinforce the misconception but eventually the gap between reality and its false interpretation becomes unsustainable. During the self-reinforcing phase, the misconception may be tested and reinforced. This widens the gap leading to an eventual reversal. The later it comes, the more devastating the consequences." [3] (http://www.soros.org/resources/articles_publications/articles/sorosonbush_20030314)
In his book The Bubble of American Supremacy: Correcting the Misuse of American Power, Soros writes that "the Bush administration's foreign policy plans come from the same sort of 'bubble' psychology afflicting U.S. markets in the late 1990s. He says they have used a real fact, overwhelming military supremacy of the United States, to create a deluded worldview that might makes right and 'you're either with us or against us,' in the same way the recent boom used a real fact, the growth in technology, to lead to a delusion, the 'new economy.'" [4] (http://www.ceip.org/files/events/events.asp?EventID=664)
[edit]Soros: War in Iraq
Soros ran full-page ads in major U.S. newspapers challenging the honesty of the Bush administration's case for waging war in Iraq. Ads in The New York Times, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, and the Houston Chronicle were titled "When the nation goes to war, the people deserve the truth." Reuters, July 25, 2003 (http://www.truthout.org/docs_03/072703I.shtml).
[edit]Soros: Funding the Opposition
The December 1, 2003, USA Today quoted Soros's worth at "about $7 billion," of which Soros had pledged "$15.5 million to anti-Bush, anti-conservative groups ... giving $10 million to Americans Coming Together, $2.5 million to MoveOn.org, and $3 million to the Center for American Progress." Soros was then in the process of "writing his own anti-Bush book. The Bubble of American Supremacy, a critique of the president's foreign policy," which hit bookstores in January 2004. [5] (http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=676&ncid=676&e=7&u=/usatoday/20031201/ts_usatoday/12043608)
[edit]Quotes "'If we assess the foreign policy accomplishments of the Bush administration since Sept. 11, the scorecard is quite dismal,' Soros said. 'There are some people in the Bush administration who have the same mentality as Arafat or Sharon. I can name names, like Ashcroft, Cheney and Rumsfeld, although that is considered impolite.'" --George Soros April 9, 2002 (http://www.philly.com/mld/inquirer/business/personal_finance/3026933.htm).
"'Although the terrorist threat is real, and we must defend against it, we are going about it the wrong way. What makes the situation so dangerous is that nobody dares to say so. The nation is endangered, therefore it is unpatriotic to criticize our leader,' Soros said. 'That is not what has made this country great. The strength of this country lies in the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights and the freedom of speech and thought." --George Soros April 9, 2002 (http://www.philly.com/mld/inquirer/business/personal_finance/3026933.htm).
"'It is the central focus of my life,' Soros said, his blue eyes settled on an unseen target. The 2004 presidential race, he said in an interview, is 'a matter of life and death.'" --George Soros, November 11, 2003 (http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/A24179-2003Nov10?language=printer).
====================================================
I hardly think Soros' obsession has diminished at all, even though he didn't get his wish for "anyone but Bush" for President.
===================================================
How could these rogue traitors possibly know what the intel is and what Bush and Goss know? They're out of the loop. And yet, they keep hinting they're getting info from their contacts "on the inside," which means active employees are committing treason, too. This is only going to spur on Bush, Negroponte and Goss to clamp down even more and possibly (hopefully) Fitzgerald.
Bottom line: there's the war on terrorism, and the war that's raging at the CIA and FBI .. .. and our security is held hostage in the middle.
I think you are right. I think in a way it is even more simple than what you outline (though I agree you're correct).
But read what is said by these people. Ellsberg is the real tipoff. They ALL want to recreate the situation of the Vietnam War. That is the dream.
And why not? For them it was a halcyon time. The US lost a war. A Republican President was impeached. Communism advanced everywhere. A string of truly idiotic Democrat Presidents and legislatures was ushered in.
For them it all means "Good Times." They want to bring them back again.
