Election Fraud News (April 12, 2004)
(If this has already been posted, apologies! This is from an e-mail list I receive, and its extremely impressive. Enjoy!)

Election Fraud News 4-12-05

.. that Bush got 80% or so of the undecided vote although all professional pollsters agree that undecideds generally vote for the challenger.”

Bob Fritakis, The Free Press

http://www.freepress.org/columns/display/3/2005/1086


To see a story that would obviously generate enormous interest if it were publicized be completely blocked by the mainstream media suggests a level of behind-the-scene control of our “free” press that is truly chilling.

Bob K.

–––––-

Excerpts from following stories found below.

1) Clint Curtis Passes Lie Detector Exam

Supports sworn testimony that he supplied Republican congressman with secret vote rigging software.

2) National Election Reform Conference in Nashville

3) Kerry’s Wife Skeptical About Vote Counting

4) Man Tracking Election Corruption was Beaten before His “Suicide”

5) The Big Fix

… believers in genuine democracy and law, the heirs of Jefferson and Madison, Emerson and Thoreau, … have lost.


1) CLINT CURTIS PASSES POLYGRAPH EXAM!

Story Broken in Florida's St. Petersburg Times by Pulitzer Prize Winning Reporter!

Still Manages to Mangle, Misrepresent and Omit Several Key Elements of the Story!

http://www.bradblog.com/

The St. Petersburg Times is reporting that Clint Curtis took a polygraph test on March 3rd...and passed!
The lie-detector test, administered to Curtis by Tim Robinson, the retired chief polygraph operator for the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, found that the Florida whistleblowing software designer who has charged in a sworn affidavit that he was asked by U.S. Rep. Tom Feeney (R-FL) to create an electronic vote-rigging software prototype in 2000, was indeed found to be truthful in all of his responses!


2) Nashville Election Reform Conference Attendees Believe 2004 Vote Rigged

The leaders of the “let’s investigate the 2004 election” movement from across the country gathered for a conference this past weekend in Nashville. As usual, no mention was made of it in any of the mainstream media.


3) Theresa Heinz Kerry Distrusts Vote Count

http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/connelly/214744_joel07.html

Heinz Kerry is openly skeptical about results from November's election, particularly in sections of the country where optical scanners were used to record votes.

"Two brothers own 80 percent of the machines used in the United States," Heinz Kerry said. She identified both as "hard-right" Republicans. She argued that it is "very easy to hack into the mother machines."

"We in the United States are not a banana republic," added Heinz Kerry. She argued that Democrats should insist on "accountability and transparency" in how votes are tabulated.

"I fear for '06," she said. "I don't trust it the way it is right now."

(Comment: Then why did her husband chicken out and walk away after the election without a whimper?)


4) Man Tracking Election Corruption was Beaten before His “Suicide”

The Big Fix

By Chris Floyd Published: April 8, 2005

http://mparent7777.blog-city.com/read/1184652.htm

In 2002, Raymond Lemme, a Florida state government inspector, took up Curtis' charges, which included other corruption allegations involving Feeny, Yang Enterprises and a Yang employee charged with peddling military technology to the Chinese. In June 2003, Lemme told Curtis he had "tracked the corruption all the way to the top" and that "the story would break in a few weeks." On July 1, 2003, Lemme was found dead in a Georgia hotel room, just across the Florida border.

Local police ruled that Lemme, a happily married man eagerly planning his daughter's wedding, had suddenly decided to slash his wrists. At first they said there were no photos of the death scene; but then the pictures turned up on the Internet and were confirmed as authentic by the embarrassed police. The photos clearly contradicted the original suicide report on several points -- presenting evidence, for example, that Lemme had been beaten before his death. The investigation was reopened after Curtis' Congressional testimony -- and then abruptly shut down after local police spoke to a never-identified "someone" in the Florida state government.


5) The Big Fix

By Chris Floyd
Published: April 8, 2005

http://mparent7777.blog-city.com/read/1184652.htm

Let's face the facts. The game is over and we -- the "reality-based community," the believers in genuine democracy and law, the heirs of Jefferson and Madison, Emerson and Thoreau, the toilers and dreamers, all those who seek to rise above the beast within and shape the brutal chaos of existence into something higher, richer and imbued with meaning -- have lost. The better world we thought had been won out of the blood and horror of history -- a realm of enlightenment that often found its best embodiment in the ideals and aspirations of the American Republic -- is gone. It's been swallowed by darkness, by ravening greed, by bestial spirits and by willful primitives who now possess overwhelming instruments of power and dominion.

A gang of such spirits seized control of the U.S. government by illicit means in 2000 and maintained that control through rampant electoral corruption in 2004.

So let's have no illusions about where we are. Gangsters are in charge.

9. So true
Edited on Thu Apr-14-05 01:38 PM by FreedomAngel82
Anybody who says polls don't work is a bullshitter to me. I mentioned this in the 2004 election results thread but I'll post here. My town recently had a mayoral race (I know I've mentioned it a few times) and we elected our new guy Tuesday and in all the polls he was ahead and he won. I still believe John Kerry won from the exit polls. How else did Ukraine know about fraud?

3. The gangsters are in charge....you'd better believe it!
In charge of the voting machines, all branches of government, the military/industrial complex, the media and the stock market.

.....the sad part is, the rest of the world KNOWS this, but the American TV-fed public is asleep. I can't wait 'til they finally wake up! But, by then, we'll all be on dirt floors.

14. There are two types of people, I should probably say democrats, in
this country that I don't understand and never will.

1) Those that say that the exit polls, all the polls as a matter of fact, were wrong and that bush** won the election because of the fruitcake and fundie vote; and

2) Those that say get over it and start planning for 2008.

I have never gotten over 2000, and I never will. This just makes it more unbearable to listen to people like those I spoke of above,

16. TWO great election fraud threads in one day?! Heaven
I would love to see election fraud discussed as much as other pet threads in the general forum.
Still can't believe it happened TWICE.
Getting unhinged again.

18. You're wrong about the 'Nash-ional" conference getting no MSM coverage
Here's just a smattering of contrary evidence:

1) Before the conference, over 400 media outlets received one or more different press releases on the conference at least 50 times apiece (thatnks to a media blaster set up by supportive DUers.) We can only imagine how getting so many press releases may have softened up the MSM to cover as many new election theft stories as have appeared this week.

2) The Nashville Tennessean (Tennessee's paper of record) ran two articles on the conference, and assigned a reporter for two full days to cover it. Here is the link to the second story:

http://www.tennessean.com/local/archives/05/03/68078488.shtml?Element_ID=68078488

3) The Nashville NBC TV affiliate sent a camera crew and ran long stories at noon, 4:00 pm, 5:00 pm, 6:00 pm and 10:00 pm on the opening day of the conference.

4) The Tennessee Independent Media Center has run two stories so far. Here is a link to one of them:

http://www.tnimc.org/feature/display/4960/index.php

5) At least seven documentary crews (including the foreign press) attended and filmed the entire conference. The fallout from their efforts will be felt for years.

6) Within a few days, audio segments from the conference will begin running on the Pacifica network of 84 affiliate stations. Within a day after that, the entire audiotape of the plenary sessions will be available on-line for anyone on the planet to listen to. (It will be broken down into hour-long segments that listeners can pick and choose among.)

7) WRFN, a new Nashville radio station, was one of several Nashville radio stations that ran live interviews with at least a half-dozen speakers at the "Nash-ional" conference. Plus, I did five pre-conference radio interviews (lasting as long as 30 minutes) on a number of stations, including country music stations, Black-owned urban music stations and news stations.

8) Brad Friedman (Bradblog) has run an excellent story (as usual) with multiple links that is on his site now. Here's the link:

http://www.bradblog.com/archives/00001321.htm

9) Finally, Robert Koehler (a syndicated columnist for the (Chicago) Tribune Media Services syndicate) wrote an exceptional piece on the conference which is beginning to appear in papers nationwide, around which we have built an entire thread on the "2004 Election Results and Discussion" forum. Here is a link to that thread and to Bob's piece, "The Silent Scream of Numbers":

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=203&topic_id=356725&mesg_id=356725

10) Finally, finally (for now), people who "showed up" at the conference have begun to send "letters to the editor" in their hometown papers. One of the best I have seen so far was submitted by Josh Mitteldorf to the Philadephia Inquirer. Here is a link to another DU thread ("I Showed Up" ...) that includes Josh's letter in its entirety (post #26):

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=203&topic_id=355167&mesg_id=355167


So is the MSM cup half-full or half-empty when it comes to covering the "Nash-ional" conference? From here, it's filling up and will begin overflowing soon.
