Bush Insider Who Planned To Tell All Killed In Plane Crash: Non-Profit Demands Full Federal Investigation
http://news.yahoo.com/s/usnw/20081220/pl_usnw/bush_insider_who_planned_to_tell_all_killed_in_plane_crash__non_profit_demands_full_federal_investigation

Michael Connell, the Bush IT expert who has been directly implicated in the rigging of George Bush's 2000 and 2004 elections, was killed last night when his single engine plane crashed three miles short of the Akron airport. Velvet Revolution ("VR"), a non-profit that has been investigating Mr. Connell's activities for the past two years, can now reveal that a person close to Mr. Connell has recently been discussing with a VR investigator how he can tell all about his work for George Bush. Mr. Connell told a close associate that he was afraid that George Bush and Dick Cheney would "throw under the bus."

A tipster close to the McCain campaign disclosed to VR in July that Mr. Connell's life was in jeopardy and that Karl Rove had threatened him and his wife, Heather. VR's attorney, Cliff Arnebeck, notified the United States Attorney General , Ohio law enforcement and the federal court about these threats and insisted that Mr. Connell be placed in protective custody. VR also told a close associate of Mr. Connell's not to fly his plane because of another tip that the plane could be sabotaged. Mr. Connell, a very experienced pilot, has had to abandon at least two flights in the past two months because of suspicious problems with his plane. On December 18, 2008, Mr. Connell flew to a small airport outside of Washington DC to meet some people. It was on his return flight the next day that he crashed.

On October 31, Mr. Connell appeared before a federal judge in Ohio after being subpoenaed in a federal lawsuit investigating the rigging of the 2004 election under the direction of Karl Rove. The judge ordered Mr. Connell to testify under oath at a deposition on November 3rd, the day before the presidential election. Velvet Revolution received confidential information that the White House was extremely concerned about Mr. Connell talking about his illegal work for the White House and two Bush/Cheney 04 attorneys were dispatched to represent him.

An associate of Mr. Connell's told VR that Mr. Connell was involved with the destruction of the White House emails and the setting up of the off-grid White House email system.

Our prior request to have Mr. Connell protected went unheeded and now he is dead.

VR demands that the Justice Department conduct a complete investigation into the activities of Mr. Connell and determine whether there was any foul play in his death. VR demands that federal law enforcement officials place the following people under protective custody pending this investigation. Heather Connell who is the owner of GovTech Solutions, Randy Cole, the former President of GovTech Solutions, and Jeff Averbeck, the CEO of SmartTech in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Both GovTech and SmartTech have been implicated in the rigging of the 2000 and 2004 elections and the White House email scandal. Our prior request to have Mr. Connell protected went unheeded and now he is dead.

6. Very interesting and helpful.

Although I think there's at least some evidence to believe that at least some manipulation did in fact occur -- that Obama would have won by a much bigger landslide otherwise.

2. His attorney better have protection now...........
Edited on Sat Dec-20-08 03:35 PM by Tangerine LaBamba
I would think that his lawyer has all the information that Mr. Connell had, and would be Rove's next target.

They just kill them when they get troublesome. And no one says anything.

When will Rove get his, I wonder?

Jack Abramoff better be in solitary - protective custody - in the slammer. Accidents happen there, you know, and Abramoff has lots, so very much, to tell.

7. The headline says one thing, the article, another. Typical, tiresome, BS from VR.
Headline reads, in part:

"Bush Insider Who Planned To Tell All Killed In Plane Crash"


Read the article and see that the closet bit of info to that assertion is:

"a person close to Mr. Connell has recently been discussing with a VR investigator how he can tell all about his work for George Bush"


Spoon Us Some More!

15. I am not defending Rove, but
Remember if this was an intentional death. There are more layers then first thought on.

Any thing like this always thinks about where the blame is going to be assigned. And going to the level of killing people does not help the status quo. It is equally possible that this is a group still not uncovered putting the blame on the people currently out front. Rove and the Republicans.

No Repub, or Rovian would do this knowing they would get the blame, going to violence is a big lose for status quo, they manipulate justice system, not kill people. Opening the can of worms of vigilantism would be insane for any group that is so outnumbered by the general population.

If this was murder, their is more to it then just blaming Republicans or Rove.

It ramps up fear, blames outgoing people, and protects __________

The _______ is the people to uncover.
