EXCLUSIVE: Conyers Registers ‘Downing Street’ & ‘Iraq Report’ Domain Names!

Names Suggest Report on DSM and Manipulation of Pre-War Intel by Bush Admin May be Imminent...

Share article:

The BRAD BLOG has learned that the “Conyers for Congress” committee has registered a series of Internet domain names that may suggest a forthcoming report based on ongoing investigations held by the Ranking Minority member of the U.S. House Judiciary Committee. The domain names, including dsmreport.com, dsmreport.net, iraqreport.net, thedsmreport.com, thedsmreport.net, theiraqreport.com and theiraqreport.net are all set for automatic re-direction to Rep. John Conyers (D-MI) personal campaign website, JohnConyers.com.

Conyers had led hearings earlier this year concerning the so-called “Downing Street Documents”, a series of leaked memos from high-level British officials revealing the Bush Administration’s determination to topple Saddam Hussein via military means, concluding that “the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy,” according to the officials after meeting with the Bush Administration. All of that, even as the Administration was telling both Congress and the American people that they were working toward a diplomatic solution to the Iraq situation.

Those hearings on the “Downing Street Documents” have become known as “the basement hearings”, since they were held in a small room in the basement of the U.S. Capital Building after Republican lawmakers refused to give Democrats on the Judiciary Committee access to a regular Congressional hearing room. On the same day the hearings were held, June 16th of this year, GOP House Leadership scheduled a record number of votes in the chamber in an attempt, as several Democrat lawmakers have charged, to disrupt the basement proceedings, which were carried live at the time by C-SPAN.

Conyers staffers have no on-the-record comment at this time regarding the intended use for the recently registered domain names. Information on the registration records for the domains has been protected, so The BRAD BLOG was unable to determine the exact date of registration.

John Conyers’ and his Judiciary Committee staff had previously released a landmark 100+ page report on the irregularities that marred the 2004 Presidential Election debacle in the state of Ohio. That report was given to all House and Senate lawmakers on the day the Electoral Votes from the Buckeye State were debated in an historic constitutional challenge to the validity of the results of the November 2004 elections in that state. Despite having access to Conyers’ detailed report, many lawmakers claimed on the floor of Congress, during the debate of the Electoral Challenge, that “there was no evidence” to suggest anything had gone wrong in Ohio’s much-maligned 2004 election, resulting in the seating of Electoral College Voters for George W. Bush.

MORE…David Swanson, co-founder of AfterDowningStreet.org comments to BRAD BLOG: “When Congressman Conyers and his brilliant staff release an analysis of the lies that launched this war, it will be the first draft of a history that our media has been more an actor than an analyst in. This report should light up the internet brighter than an oil fire!”

More information on the registration of the domain names was obtained by Ron Brynaert. It appears that the domains were all registered on either December 9th or 10th (last Friday and Saturday) of this year.

    Rep. Conyers will be remembered in history as a savior of democracy. In my opinion he is the only congressperson with a spine and good intentions for our democracy. Kerry, Clinton, even Dean aren’t saying the things that Conyers is saying. It’s sad but true.

    At last, a ray of hope. The criminals in power, Dems, and Repugs are trying to fight the battles of the 1960s all over again. This time they have undermined the constitution, and have police that are happy to murder at their command and a populace who believes that war is peace and we have always been at war with terrorism. Unless we can return to honest elections all is lost and it’s going to be a bloody son of a bitch this time.
    LIBERTY, EQUALITY, FRATERNITY

    I give thanks each and every day that Mr. Conyers represents me in the US government. He is a man of daunting integrity – no one has even TRIED to smear him, because it can’t be done.

    Here here, Mr. Conyers – you are well and truly a hero and patriot to inspire us all, no matter how dark the RethugliKKKan reign of terror becomes…

    Many thanks to John Conyers, one of the few Dems still acting like human beings and standing up for the public interest. Kerry is a Yale Bonesman like Prez Bullshit and his daddy, helped do damage control during Iran-Contra, plus he’s a regular attendee of Bilderberg as is Mena, AK CIA drug-running Clinton, all of which anyone can verify with a google search. That’s why they got the nomination. The Dems are as sold out to the corporate-globalist-full spectrum domination agenda as the Repubs.

    One other rep I respect is Cynthia McKinney, who’s asking real questions about the defense/intelligence failures on 9/11. If you aren’t convinced of the need for a new investigation, read "The 9/11 Commission Report: Ommissions and Distortions" by David Ray Griffin and visit http://www.911truth.org

    I believe in the collective consciousness. I believe if we all picture in our minds the whole evil lot of the forces controlling this world being exposed and brought to their knees we can make it so. Art Bell used to do these experiments on his Coast to Coast show. When they worked, he got scared and quit doing it. I think we should try it, expose the liar and the lies. See how much power we have. I believe we are seeing the lies one by one being exposed but lets just bring em down, expose every one of them, just picture in our minds the Truth coming out. The power of the mind is a Force to be reckoned with. Black op mind control is not just a parlor game unique to the power elite. The people can use the same energy, it is free and flowing in the cosmos. I say, we need to bring it on. M4
