Read This Only If You Enjoy A Bit Of Tin-Foil Now And Then..

The Washington Post has been re-hashing the whole Chandra Levy murder and investigation, and I picked up a little tidbit that I had never heard before:

Barrett asked Condit to account for his whereabouts between April 28 and May 3. Condit said he didn't see Chandra during that time. On Saturday, April 28, he said, he rode his bicycle to a U.S. Capitol gym and returned to his apartment that night. On Sunday, April 29, he spent the day and night with his wife. Around noon, he called Chandra on his cellphone and spoke to her for less than two minutes. He couldn't recall the details of the conversation. On April 30, he worked in his congressional office.

On May 1, the day Chandra disappeared, Condit said, he left his apartment at 11 in the morning and worked until 6:30, when he went out to dinner at Tryst in Adams Morgan. He would later tell the detectives that he met with Vice President Cheney early that afternoon. On May 2, Condit worked on Capitol Hill, then went shopping and had dinner at an Adams Morgan restaurant with his wife. On May 3, Condit said, his wife returned to California.


Lowell had told the detectives to assume Condit and Chandra had a relationship and to avoid questions that were not germane. But Durant pressed Condit for more details about the relationship. Lowell interrupted, directing his client not to answer.


How is it that whenever there is something evil afoot, the Dark Lord seems to be at the center of it?:tinfoilhat:

1. Because He Who Must Not Be Named is the very source of evil

Evil eminates from him like stink off of shit, or criminality off of GOP policy.

2. I can just hear him now..

oh by the way, Congressman, your little girlfriend is laying dead in a ditch.

4. Has anyone ever asked why Condit (House Intel Committee) was meeting w/Cheney?

Why has no one followed up on Condit's membership on that committee, and how that might have factored into the murder of his girlfriend?

Maybe Gary (or Chandra) knew something, and had to be shut up? Just tin-foil.

5. I loves me some tinfoil. I even suggested to my wife that we ought to buy stock in alcoa

Not that it matters any iota but Condits family are from around here and some still live nearby and they are a well respected family. good people.

6. According to Newsweek, they were talking about the "CA energy crisis" (Enron?)

Condit Has an Alibi | Newsweek | Find Articles at BNET - Condit had a private meeting with Cheney on Capitol Hill on Tuesday, May 1, to discuss the California energy crisis, according to White House and ...

Hmm . . . Enron, Taliban, Afghanistan pipeline, bin Laden . . . buy that Alcoa stock.

Yet the Bush administration did more than praise the Taliban's proclaimed ban of opium cultivation. In mid-May, 2001, Secretary of State Colin Powell announced a $43 million grant to Afghanistan in addition to the humanitarian aid the United States had long been providing to agencies assisting Afghan refugees. Given Callahan's comment, there was little doubt that the new stipend was a reward for Kabul's anti-drug efforts. That $43 million grant needs to be placed in context. Afghanistan's estimated gross domestic product was a mere $2 billion. The equivalent financial impact on the U.S. economy would have required an infusion of $215 billion. In other words, $43 million was very serious money to Afghanistan's theocratic masters.

7. Here's some tinfoil for you -

We know that the illegal spying started well before 9/11.

We know that there was a "serial killer" operating in DC at that time - her disappearance was originally attributed to him.

Tin foil -

Certain parties uncover illicit relationships. Certain parties see to the execution of the girls in those relationships. The men in the relationships are summoned to meet with the certain party who informs them - "we have all the necessary evidence to pin this directly on you - you will (play ball, retire, give us what we want, vote the way we want, etc.) or it WILL be pinned on you. Be good, and it goes away. But one day, and that day may never come, I will ask a favor..."

Joe "dead intern" Scarborough left congress to become a leading voice on Faux, always pushing the party line (not that he was any liberal before, but still...)

Gary Condit is now no longer a rising star in the Democratic ranks.

I wonder how many other of the murdered girls were connected to congressmen, law firms, lobbying groups, etc.

8. I don't think your take is all that "tinfoily" and would make a great

"movie of the week."

11. I can't help myself..

I also get all tinfoily when Congressmen are found dead at the bottom of the stairs too..


COLUMBUS, Ohio - U.S. Rep. Paul Gillmor, who was found dead in his apartment in suburban Washington earlier this week, died of blunt head and neck trauma consistent with a fall down stairs, according to a medical examiner’s report released Friday.

The death was certified as an accident, said Lucy Caldwell, a spokeswoman for the Virginia Department of Health, which includes the state’s medical examiner’s office.

Gillmor was the ranking Republican on the Financial Institutions and Consumer Credit Subcommittee of the Financial Services Committee. He also served on the Energy and Commerce Committee, and chaired its Environment and Hazardous Materials Subcommittee until the Republicans lost control of Congress following the 2006 elections. In 2006, Gillmor served as a member of a bipartisan reform task force on ethics and congressional mailing practices. He was a member of the moderate Republican Main Street Partnership.

The American Conservative Union gave Gillmor's 2005 voting record a rating of 82 points out of a possible 100; the liberal Americans for Democratic Action gave him a 0 rating.<1>

Gillmor joined with Massachusetts Congressman Barney Frank to propose the Industrial Bank Holding Company Act of 2006, which was designed to prevent retailers such as Wal-Mart and Home Depot from operating banks to process their credit card transactions.<4> The Toledo Blade noted that as he fought for the interests of the banking community, Gillmor had opened his own bank in Florida, Panther Community Bank, and was heir to an Ohio bank, Old Fort Bank.<5>

14. if you are willing to kill even one innocent to achieve your ends (which Cheney obviously is,

many times over...)

you don't need the tinfoil.

12. The long march of Dick Cheney

Nothing this guy does would surprise me. Wonkette and John Oliver may have described Cheney best in these 2 stories:

http://rawstory.com/news/2007/DC_madam_lawyer_Cheney_isnt_not_0523.html

"This is a draft-dodging half-human war criminal with a pregnant lesbian daughter who tells senators to fuck themselves and shoots his own friends in the face. Ordering an outcall hooker is positively innocent compared to the well-known things Cheney does every day."

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=3233420&mesg_id=3234453

"Dick Cheney exists neither in the executive branch nor the legislative, yet simultaneously in both," 'Daily Show' correspondent John Oliver adds. "He is neither man nor beast, yet has elements of the twain. He is at once everything and nothing, substance without form, shape without motion, time without reason... he is the Highlander."

15. Jon Stewart does a great bit about Cheney..

he says that the only conceivable situation where you would be asking Dick Cheney for advice is if they found a dead hooker in your hotel room, then he goes off on his "Cheney the penguin" routine. It's hilarious..:rofl:

[underpants]

13. Condit was never actually a subject of the investigation

he was questioned a couple of times but that was probably to assertain what/where she might have been going.

[Virginia Dare]

16. Condit seemed to do a very good job of intimidating the MPD brass..

which I believe probably hindered the investigation, even if he didn't have anything to do with it. It appears anyway that he didn't.

Her parents believed and maybe still do that he was involved somehow.

Just another tale of the weird in D.C. I just found it interesting to say the least that he was meeting with Cheney on the very day she was murdered.

Another important point is that in the days and weeks leading up to 9/11, D.C. was obsessed with this whole story and Condit's alleged dalliances. They were literally talking about it (meaning the press) daily. It was a distraction again to say the least.
