Since I am already OT on this..
I figured I'd check Diebold's website.
Look at this cool foobar code from their website.
Under
Most recent News Items
(I did a Scrapbook Capture, they ain't gonna change it heh heh heh)
% set conn=getconnection sql="SELECT TOP 10 * FROM news order by newsdate desc, title" set rs=conn.execute(sql) if rs.eof then response.Write("") else do while not rs.eof % % rs.movenext Loop end if rs.close set rs=nothing conn.close set conn=nothing %
(note Arrows removed.)
(note2 Cant even run their own website)
(note3 Having some database problems are we?)
(note4 I'll bet they fix it soon, you know they read BB)

Mick... Well. I'm not going to be good for much for a couple of days. My ISP is having major problems. Intermittent service that may go completely dead any time. So maybe you'll get in a few moments of liberal pride while I'm out of commission.

actually that was august 2005 not 2006. Anyway Ddos make your server behave like a dialup modem. SLOW... 100%CPU etc. You have to fine tune things to get it to run under these conditions, and frankly I wasn't smart enough to do that until now.
And we might as well get SOMETHING on topic here.
I sure hope that the Illegal wiretapper[s] get punished. Otherwise what's the point of whistleblowing anymore?

Mick, that's what liberal means around my neck of the woods, that's for sure! Creeps me out how people can be so fuming stinky about that.
I gotta stop talking. This up and down connection has me freaking that the lights will go out and the toilet won't flush. It's disorienting as hell!!!

Well that would explain a lot of the "flip-flopping" on Capital Hill. That would also explain why nobody is ever held accountable for crimes (with the exception of a token BS trial now and then) and nothing ever gets done for the good of the people anymore.
There is a "dirty little secrets" room somewhere, probably at Bush's ranch, containing all the goods on everyone in Washington. Capital Hill is now Blackmail Hill.
Those who choose not to accept the "special payroll" and can't morally be part of the Bush/Cheney crimes and destruction of America any longer, simply resign - and that list is long. There is no going against the illegal tapping regime without ending their career, personal family sacrifice, and/or probable jail time. Damn, the scope of this nightmare is incredible.
I know we're waisting time with the Democrats vs. Republicans song and dance, it's way past that now.

It's unbelievable that it's taken this long to get FBI agents to come forward with the truth about these criminals in power. They have put themselves above the law and think themselves untouchable. I really want to see them proven wrong. I certaily hope the Dems get off their asses and hold some powerful public hearings.
OT: Anybody know anything about Peter Lance? I saw him on Book-TV (C-Span) giving a lecture on his new book "Triple Cross". In the Q&A he says that TWA Flight 800 was a bomb and was pretty convincing. Anyone know about this?

To me it's obvious they tapped to blackmail,end of story. I'm nice but I'd do it if I were them,just 'sneakier'(hire Phil...).Neat to hear how They try'n'F ya with the Ddos thing. That 'Cloak + Dagger' site was bitchin' harsh over a year ago as well. Around then after I wrote on the Huff Post,here, etc. typing 'target' names occasionally I easily noticed my Sygate firewall telling me I'm being checked out by 3 Washington based tracking co.'s. So for about the last year as well I haven't recieved my customary confirmation e'mail after I tried to write in to Cnn. I'm wondering if They can 'block' your e-mails, and if we, as disidents in this Gov's eyes are all being tracked anytime because Big hard drives are Real cheap nowadays,lol! (I'm canadian but I think we all agree These guys would Bigbrother anyone,anywhere).

I want to backtrack a bitto see if I am putting this together correctly. Jump in and tell me if this synopsis is wrong.
I have read in the past that Turkey is a central location for all sorts of arms and drug deals amongst Israelis, Pakistanis's, Koreans, Islamic radicals, Iran, and all our Allies and of course the US of A. Turkey replaced Beirut as the crossroads for trans-shipping all things illiegal no matter what side you are on. Edmonds is but one voice in the mix who has identified a conmnection to US players and Turkey. I think Wayne Madsen has as well. You've cited Vanity Fair's work.
At the heart of it is nothing ideological. This kind of activity is about money, not freedom, liberation,democracy, human rights of self-determination. It's about money and graft. All else is window-dressing. The stuff being passed for cash are "yellow-cake" forged documents; shoulder-fired missiles left over from our support of Afghani "freedom fighters" who engaged the Soviets; nuclear weapons designs; tons of heroin; light and heavy armaments from all nations and manufacturers; maintenance and repair parts for Iranian aircraft; and kits of IED materials--the latest scourge.
So Raw Story reports that there are retired FBI folks who say Edmonds is being prevented from divulging what she knows under cloak of illegal investigations against her under cloak of Homeland Security/National Security, so the threads of what she knows about Turkey and the players cannot be traced anywhere. And that the FBI was complicit. And so were Congressional and Administration (and maybe Pentagon) facilitators representing a cast from both parties.
And we expect an investigation to go forward?
I can see why folks like Wayne Madsen constantly get marginalized for seeing conspiracies in their alpabet soup. Because folks like him and Sibel might just be on target after all.

Back Track-Part 2
So if this summary is the least bit accurate, why is hard to believe that the same greed can adopt breathtaking scope domestically? Why is the expression "Bush Crime Family" considered nothing more than a demeaning liberal joke? Or the "military industrial complex"? Why is it hard to accept that US companies would want to get in on the action, now or in the past? Why wouldn't IBM and Coca-Cola want to do business with Nazi Germany? Or the Harriman's?
I am not settled in what I believe about these matters. I am truly uncertain. There is a part of me that is absolutely incredulous: how could ANYBODY, let alone a whole government, stoop so low? Is this just a mega-conspiracy theory? Even that has no clean answer. If I were a dyed-in-the-wool market-driven conservative, I would have to say: "of course it's true--that is the way the world works--self interest--greed is good--do you really expect noble ideals drive anything?" What better example than Halliburton and the current Admininstration continuing the Bush Family tradition.
So what about religious fundamentalists of any stripe? Are they "market driven" or just crazy-obsessed with pure theology? Osama comes from a family that knows construction contracts inside out. Is he a fundamentalist, or pragmatic opportunist with an unusual entrepreneurial streak?
I say I am not settled in what I believe. That is true. But I have reached a stage where my mind is more elastic, and open to the possibilities.

Brad reminds me of Jim Jones from the Peoples Temples. They were a bunch of nutjob druggies from San Francisco who to Guyana after they were evading taxes.
Maybe some of you don't know the story of Jim Jones. All of his followers drank a poison drink which is now referred to as 'Kool-Aid', and they all committed suicide. Hence the Kool-Aid joke when referring to nutjob moontbat liberals like the followers of Brad.
QUESTION: How much Kool-Aid do you nuts drink per day?
lol....

A brief recently filed in the Supreme Court points out some of the fascism going on under your nose:
Three years ago these amici urged the Court to grant review in Rasul v. Bush, 542 U.S. 466 (2004). The amici in Rasul came from a wide variety of backgrounds: retired judges, military officers, diplomats, government officials, former POWs, bar leaders and, in the case of Fred Korematsu, an American who had searing personal experience with Executive detention. The Rasul amici all urged the Court to take the case because of a profound concern that the Government’s detention of individuals at Guantanamo without charge and without access to habeas review presented fundamental issues concerning the rule of law, separation of powers, our country’s standing in the world community, and the effect of the Government’s detention policy on the safety of American service men and women serving abroad.

V for Vermont's Vendetta:
This Windham County town became the first to sign on to this year's town meeting drive to impeach President George Bush. At their town meeting on Saturday, Westminster residents voted 107-29 to call upon the U.S. House of Representatives to file articles of impeachment to remove President Bush from office.

What is Sean Hannity to do? If he says the Walter Reed hospital reporting is biased, then he's "against the troops" because the troops know what it's really like there, they're the ones saying it. If he is "for" the troops and against the condition of Walter Reed hospital, then he's against Bushco!!!
Oh! What is Sean Hannity to do!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here's what he did yesterday: He had on a father of a soldier at Walter Reed, who said the papers are exaggerrating, and there were only 6 rooms with mold, all in one outpatient building, and Hannity said Bush raised VA spending 77% since 2001.
BUT...Hannity said, if there's a problem, he wants it solved, but THERE MAY BE NO PROBLEM!!!
Oh! Mixed signals from Sean Hannity!
Because, is he "for the troops" or "for Bushco"???
OH, WHAT A DILEMMA FOR SEAN HANNITY!!!
If he's "for Bushco", he's calling the vets "liars".
If he's "for the troops", he's calling Bushco "liars and passing the buck and cutting vet funds".
OH, WHAT IS HE GOING TO DO, WALKING THIS TIGHTROPE AND HEMMING AND HAWW-ING AND TAKING NO POSITION?????????
HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

...the libby verdict is in,virually certain to go to a country club,wait for pardon/payoff,yawn. On Walter Reid, it's pretty obvious there was a big problem and they knew all about it. It's probably due to saving money 'cause the war must be costing sooo much taxpayer money(that I'll bet the books are even cooked to downplay things)!, or the guy's who are at the top get the best 'kickbacks' and kept it status-quo on purpose (and after years, now it's over,too bad). But about Gates in charge,..I figured him to come in and 'act' like he's his own man but do bush's bidding in a disguised 'own man' kinda way with a few almost harsh-towards-the-administration words. So far he hasn't missed a line.Yay,surge. Rumsy can take care of biz full-time now behind the scenes.
