We think it went very well!…Today’s Blogcall press conference call is playing “LIVE” right now at RadioLeft.com. It may repeat throughout the evening.
[UPDATED] The Blogcall is now posted for posterity in the archives at WhiteRoseSociety.org for your listening pleasure anytime in the future.
The guests were myself and Clint Curtis, and we took questions for the hour. I also took the opportunity to break the news about this morning’s Raymond Lemme story on the call…
UPDATE 3/14/05: The New York Times publishes an article on Blogcall after attending the above mentioned conference call. Our comments on their article is here.
For those just learning about the Clint Curtis/Tom Feeney/Yang Enterprises Vote-Rigging Scandal, please see:

Excellent!
You are not going to believe this. I CANNOT get through. Every time I try to post my server goes blank. NUTS to this!
Does Curtis know who it might be at FDOT who contacted the Georgia police to close the recently re-opened Lemme suicide/murder investigation?
Same thing happened to me,I kept trying and then it came on .Keep trying
listened to the call late last night.
Most excellent! The Q&A session afterwards was quite interesting as well.
Angles that would be important to follow to help this further unravel would be:
1. Who at FDOT has the pull to influence/coerce the Georgia police to pull the plug on a reopened case? and who made the call. What are their connections to Feeney/Yangs/YEI.
2. Chinese spy, who is paying him now that he’s "not working"? He has to have living expenses, if he is still an illegal immigrant, who is his sponsor and where is his money coming from?
3. Why was "Chuck" moved and what does he know about the Chinese spy, and or the vote rigging software? Does he have any other connections to Feeney?
Great job Brad and also on the Lousiana Live show (I was your first caller). This thing is gaining traction and will soon be out there for all to see I hope. Thanks for your patenence and professionalism in doing it right.
I did listen to the "blogcall", but it seems to me that the only thing that matters is expposing who gave the orders to rig the voting machines. Feeney was just a puppet who was probably acting on orders from Rove…who may have been acting on orders from Bush himself. If the vote flipping in the voting machines is not fixed and exposed as to who ordered it, then this country has no chance of electing a Democratic president ever again. It doesn’t matter how many people sign voting reform petitions.
Also, can someone please tell me why The New York Times killed the story about the Bush bulge in the first debates? To me, that is the biggest crime. Our idiotic president was so stupid he needed to be fed info. Why didn’t the mainstream media report this? This is a crime that should negate the legitimacy of Bush’s presidency, oh yeah, and the fact that the exit polls in Florida and Ohio said Kerry won. Why is the media so afraid of exposing the corruptness of the Bush Whitehouse? I’m still hoping some Mainstream reporter with chuzpah will do just this.
Gigi #7 Lets look at the statement "power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely".
The radicalness of this statement is astonishing.
It says that as power increases corruption increases until absolute power and absoulute corruption is attained.
It says power on this planet contains toxins. The more power we are exposed to the more toxins we are exposed to.
Power is not just political power. It is human empowerment. The MSM has power, so it must have toxins and corruption.
No one is immune from the toxins in power … celebrities, newspaper people, TV people, politicians, mothers and fathers, and all who exercise power injest the toxins.
The problems we see are the result of not having a working immune system anymore … or at least it is damaged. Just like any person whose immune system breaks down or is diminished, the toxins will have a more damaging effect.
Blogs of the Brad type, separation of powers, and openness in government are fundamental antibodies that battle the toxins.
So is love. Love is one of the fundamental essences to overcome the toxins inherent in the power that corrupts. Truth is an attribute of love.
So, we see people seeking more and more power and exhibiting less and less love and more and more hate. The lie is an attribute of hate.
If you analyze any of the problems we see today in this perspective, it makes more and more sense.
Dredd #8
Your post makes absolute sense! This is what we have been coming to and I do believe that we (our nation) has arrived at the point of absolute corruption. Thank God that there are still those few activly seeking something better like Brad and those here on Bradblog.
Dredd (#8), I think quite highly of your post.
In today’s New York Times (Business Section, 3/14)
Brad is cited as having spoken on the second conference call run by Bob Fertik, democrats.com.
Here’s what the Times reporter wrote. "Brad Friedman…discussed his investigation into accusations of rigged voting machines—a contentious subject that drew questions…(mostly from) other bloggers."
Next paragraph…"Listeners asked if a figure (Clint Curtis, no doubt, but no context given) in Mr. Friedman’s inquiry had taken a lie-detector test…"
Any reader of this story will get the impression that any question of rigged elections is contentious (The Times never says that about Iraq or terrorism), and that certain key figures Brad Friedman deals with are probably liars. No mention of Ray Lemme, or the fine folks at F.D.O.T. No mention of Feeney and his ethical problems. No mention of Yang Enterprises or their convicted spy, Henry Nee.
I suppose Bradbloggers should be grateful. Somehow I’m not, because this article stinks.
Your comments are right on the money, Robert.
