Another one bites the dust,.. Real Hard.

Awwww... Poor ney-ney is sad.

Well what is the connection between Ney and Blackwell?

I saw this the other day and have been chuckling about it ever since. One more of this corrupt bunch getting what he deserves. Hopefully it continues like dominoes.
It's been speculated that Abramoff, having turned states evidence, is giving volumes of additional information to the prosecutors to take down a bunch of these criminals.

What the F#*k
Is it some weird think-speak-election rigging organization?

Floridiot #27

The link you furnished is pure IRI propaganda. Think what would happen if their bullsh*t was applied to the white house Iraq war:

Kaizen is a culture of sustained continuous improvement focusing on eliminating waste in all systems and processes of an organization. The Kaizen strategy begins and ends with people. With Kaizen, an involved leadership guides people to continuously improve their ability to meet expectations of high quality, lowcost, and on-time delivery.

Or Katrina, or a whole host of GOP fiascos forced on people around the world for the benefit of oil barons.

As long as big oil which is controlled by corporate big brother needs elections to go a certain way, IRI is there to help.

Bob Ney is pure IRI. Ken Blackwell, a past officer of IRI, is an example of how all the bullsh*t in their rhetoric pans out in real life.

They are corrupt and they do corruption naturally.

Floridiot #27

That entire thing was written by a machine. Machines can not be allowed to make our voting machines secure!

"Open the pod bay doors Hal!"
"I'm sorry Dave, but I'm afraid I can't do that".

Poor Mr. Ney, I'd look like that too, If I'd sold my countrymen's democracy for a few thousand!

I think Ney was a supporter of NSA spying on Americans because it was war on terrorists.

Now in one of the court cases it allegations are developing which indicate the NSA was spying on Americans BEFORE 911:

The U.S. National Security Agency asked AT&T Inc. to help it set up a domestic call monitoring site seven months before the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, lawyers claimed June 23 in court papers filed in New York federal court.

(link here).

Bob Ney is a crook and fits hand in glove with the republican dictatorship that spies upon its own people shamelessly while talking about human and civil rights out of the other side of its mouth.

I hope the people who resigned from Ney did so because they finally felt their conscience and decided to change the course.

Staying the wrong course is for Ney and Big Brother.

I just thought this was so close to what we could be encountering around these parts today, like this

"Linking Policies to
Individual Performance
IRI Consultants to Management offers
a systems approach to addressing
human performance issues. To link
policies to individual performance in the
election process, this system is based
on two management principles:
1. Openness of information
2. Predictability of consequences
For those familiar with these principles,
quality is a “second word.” Participants
in the performance of the election
process will agree on expectations or
outcomes or work, process, or methods
used to create or deliver the outcome,
measurements or standards used to
determine if expectations are met, and
consequences of meeting or not meeting
the outcomes expected."
They mention Florida 2000 and all, at first I thought it was some kind of a Colbert type thing, a joke... I still don't know

A few more quotes from my above link
(Sorry Brad, I'm done now, just have to get this off my chest)

"Plant seeds about highperforming election processes and how they link to highperforming election workers"

"This assists in reducing the resistance that is normally expected with change."

"IRI Consultants to Management is well-suited to help your election department address the human performance issues that inhibit
performance."

"As the need arises, we can draw on our team of experts, including skilled facilitators and experts in areas such as software quality."

"Error rates built into the system mean that in a close race, our voting systems lack the precision necessary to permit the clear, unambiguous determinationof an election winner."

"Knowledge Management is a technique to collect and organize the wealth of information found in an organization... Users can quickly and easily add and/or update relevant knowledge throughout theprocess"

Looks to me like they want to get hired into each municipality, and take over the voting process, language used, and get paid for it.
If they haven't already

Dear Dredd, in re: 31, I don't think rats abandon leaking ships because of conscience attacks about being rats...

#27 Floridiot,
I just read the IRI thing. Here's an interesting sentence from page one:
"As with most things, the system and its various processes, rather than people, contain the root causes for error...".

I'm so happy they've determined that for us with such finality. Whew! Thank goodness there's no problem with people doing something 'shady' or anything like that.

That's a load off my mind, I can tell ya!

#34,
"This assists in reducing the resistance that is normally expected with change."

Yes: people who raise concerns about the election process are just resistant to "change". Just nip that in the bud & we're home free!

Thanks for #22, Bluebear! Where are Roy & Dale??

At long last I have cautious optimism that the issue of election fraud is gaining momentum, it is actually turning up in the MSM! Quotes from those good GOP folks who worry about the election system don't hurt a bit, it helps remove the "sore loser" knee jerk reaction that has been with us so long.

#31 Dredd,
I saw that, too. Another snippet from the article:

"``The Bush Administration asserted this became necessary after 9/11,'' plaintiff's lawyer Carl Mayer said in a telephone interview. ``This undermines that assertion.''

It does seem that more "public" people are beginning to pay attention about election fraud. My great fear is that the legal system may be just as compromised as everything else. I mean, why wouldn't it be?
RFK Jr & Mike Papantonio's show yesterday included that fellow, whose name I've forgotten, who is evidently being successful with multiple election-related lawsuits; that gives us some hope.
But the problem is so huge & pervasive, I really can't get my hopes up TOO much.
Still waitin' for Fitzmas.

41 Joan - "Fitzmas" the rove indictment mystery, after November if ever at all ...

JoJ,
Yeah, yeah...isn't that what we were saying LAST year?? Man, them justice wheels are grinding REAL slow.

Why isn't the press pointing out, that Bush is cranking into Elvis too, lately, and pointing out that the words out of his mouth are about as truthful as all those Elvis sitings??? It's very fitting, that he's getting into Elvis lately. While he's whooping it up with "Elvis", think about all our young soldiers dying in Iraq based on his lies.

The larger question--If we don't get people like Ney punished & people like Bush punished for their huge crimes--how are we going to keep respect for the law in our country?
If we don't have respect for the law in our country--we slide down into chaos & anarchy.
We citizens AGREE to obey the laws because we (supposedly) voted into office the representatives that make the laws--supposedly, the citizens have a HAND in making the laws they agree to obey.
It's become obvious our government (it's become a dictatotship--they only PRETEND we have a say in anything) & big business (Enron for eg.) are totally dishonest & corrupt with no regard for anyone's interests but their own.
How long will it be before the People say--why should WE obey laws & why should WE go to jail for killing or stealing--when Bush is killing thousands of people for nothing but $ for himself & his cronies every day (Just like muggers do) & Ken Lay is stealing from thousands of people (just like a common thief with a gun that says stick-em-up!)?

It was reported that "king george the second" had never been to Graceland to see Elvis before that day.

How Telling ! ! !

* With his money and power he could have had a private tour earlier in life
* Elvis was of his generation

* I think he sounds a little like Evis (but then again I think they all have an accent')
* He was a Real American King

* To Appreciate Elvis You Must Have (A) SOUL . . .

Speaking of scurrying to leave a sinking ship...

"FBI losing senior agents to private sector"

"...acting executive assistant director for law-enforcement services Chris Swecker is to leave for a new job as head of global security for Bank of America, where he will earn a reported $600,000, more than triple what he makes as the FBI's No. 3. Better pay isn't the only motivation-one former senior FBI manager said he quit after tiring of the “constant berating” he got from lawmakers when briefing Congress. “All these factors play into a decision to leave: family, finances, burnout, pressure, criticism,” he says. “You've worked your a__ off. Eventually you say, Hey, the heck with this.”

The story will be on TIME.com Sunday afternoon."

Around 300 experienced, high ranking officials have resigned from various departments of our government & military in the last 18 months or so (well, 20-24 months by now), reported by TomDispatch.com months ago.
They're all pissed at what is going on under Bush.
The common theme seems to be the way Bush has put his cronies in charge of every dept, whether they know anything about the job or not. TomDispatch has even published some of their resignation letters where they spill the beans about why.
MSM hasen't reported it.
But, it's not all just rats that leave.

I agree, it's not just rats, by any means. Good people are leaving for the reasons you stated: cronyism and the frustration & disgust that come in its aftermath.
I remember reading also about bushco looking for people to appoint to various posts & there being hardly anyone left both competent & foolhardy enough to accept.

I really enoyed the headline for this article. The word DIEB in German translates literally as THIEF.

What do you think about that?

Went to that link & their store...wouldn't you know, the one thing I would actually have bought (well, maybe) (because I am evidently a lunatic) was out of stock: the "Happy Trails Large Heavy Metal Sign" (hahaha..& I would need that for WHAT, exactly??)
But thanks for the 'blast from the past'! I didn't mean to dis your other link, btw, of the song...I enjoyed it!

Welcome back!

Check this out!! A fitting Manifesto for the Fourth!!
This is just a bit of it, from Veterans for Peace...

"On the Fourth, Read the Declaration of Impeachment
By David Swanson
AfterDowningStreet.org

"...Veterans for Peace has drafted a Declaration of Impeachment using...excerpts from the Declaration of Independence...[to] be read...on the Fourth of July:

"... whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it....

....it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

... The history of the present King (George)... is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny....

* He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.

* He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.

* He has ... deprive(ed) us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury ... transport(ed) us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences

* He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us ...

* He is at this time transporting large Armies ... to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation...."

#55 Joan

Yeah. Bush appoints people that he knows will be loyal to all the important positions. They have not earned their promotion but he gives it to them anyway so they owe him big time.
Like Hitler had his henchmen--he's consolidating his power so he can have yes-men everywhere.
Look at Rice & Gonzales & look at who he tried to slip through as supreme court material for instance--his own personal lawyer.

Everyone should read about this commissioned officer refusing to report for duty. He was on Democracy NOW!

Well, does that mean that DIEBold means an "old thief"?

A seemingly un-noticed event in the Bilbray/Busby fiasco:Election Certified Thursday Night before 4 day holiday - leaves only 1 day to respond.

Bob Ney as a supporter of the republican dictatorship has participated in the corruption of the medical profession:

A new book, titled "Oath Betrayed: Torture Medical Complicity and the War on Terror", claims a new pattern of behavior among military doctors unlike any previous American war. The book's author, Dr. Steven Miles, researched U.S. Military records and found what he claims to be astonishingly unprofessional behavior.

Dr. Miles explains, "To my utter dismay, what I found was that they were not only quiet for several years and at multiple prisons sites but they were deeply imbedded in the process of... the active abuse of people and suppressing information about the abuse of people."

(link here). One wonders if there is anything the republican dictatorship has not corrupted.

OOPS! THE TERROR ALERT WAS RAISED TO ORANGE...FIRST RAISE SINCE JUST BEFORE THE 2004 ELECTION!!! And I still have duct tape on my house per Tom Ridge, and my family is suffocatting awaiting further instructions since...YOU DUMB KOOL-AID F***Ks!!!

*******************************************************

#76 - ?????????? Is This Post A Fact ??????????? BD

I was just kidding. To emphasize that the terror alert hasn't been raised since the 2004 election, PROVING it was all political. I just can't believe that isn't emphasized in the media, how those terror alerts dropped off the face of the earth after the election. That should be pounded in the media. Same thing with the Anthrax scare. I love the way these things just disappear. Well, we're not stupid. I remember the terror alerts, the duct tape, the fake FBI alert in Warren County, the anthrax hoax...all of it by the Republicans. And the duct tape, we're here suffocating, my family...we haven't been given follow-up instructions to remove it yet. How can Ridge just leave us suffocating here? How can people be so stupid???

And you know what? When the 2006 elections come around, these brain-dead Republican voters will fall for some other crap. How stupid can these people be??? It is absolutely unbelievable!!!

I just don't believe a DAMN thing these Republicans say anymore. NOTHING! When they trumped up all these recent findings of supposed terrorists, like the ones in Canada, well now it turns out it was some ridiculous idiots.

What's going to happen, is because there's no real boogymen, expect another "inside" job by Bushco. 9/11 was an inside job. I have no other choice, based on science, logic...to think otherwise. I don't think that, just because I hate the Republicans, it's pure facts...weighing all sides...looking at all the evidence. I wouldn't believe something like that JUST BECAUSE I hate the Republicans. The truth is the truth.

9/11 being an inside job, is so huge, that even I'm afraid of what's going to happen when the majority of people agree...

Watch this...

http://www.youtube.com/w...mp;search=James%20Fetzer

http://www.jsonline.com/...ory/index.aspx?id=445190

Another thought on 9/11, is that I KNOW BOTH parties know it was an inside job. If I know it, they know it. I think it's so huge, it would destroy our country, and definitely the Republican party would probably disband when it's proven. And also, I think it's stopping them from doing it again, because everyone knows they did it the first time. That's a good thing.

nice going!

Thanks guys PLEASE look at these links and give me your opinions Thanks!

Laura, that cload & dagger link, has no clickable spots in it. I've been there before, though. The 411 site, which stories? it's been updated since. About TV fakery? The simple bottom line to all this, is that the scholars/scientists/engineers story makes more sense that the politicians story. Since when do we believe politicians over scholars/scientists/engineers??? Politicians are full of shit, all of them.

Laura's link has clickable spots in it today. Maybe it was just down when Big Dan tried it.

Congratulations, Laura on winning the battle of the linkage!

Big Dan, on the totalinfo411 scroll down to the 9-11 film clip and the northwoods post right below it. Cloak and dagger has a scrolling news update. Cloak and dagger got hit today by hackers(wink wink) the stories that are there sure do make me wonder. I agree about Not believing the politicians,I know they're all full of shit. I'm just wondering Is the space shuttle a military weapon?

By the way thanks for looking and responding. Thanks 99,I didn't think I'd ever master linkage and I hope it wasn't a fluke.
