“After the Florida Election in 2000, one man found himself on the wrong end of a smoking gun.”<\/b> That’s the tagline for Murder, Spies & Voting Lies: The Clint Curtis Story<\/i><\/a>, the brand-new documentary film by Patty Sharaf which has now finally been released!<\/p>\n

Kansas City Star<\/i> is among the first out of the box to review the film<\/a>, calling it a “Must See!” and declaring that it “plays like a high-tension political thriller.”<\/p>\n

The terrifying feature-length documentary, shot in high-definition video, details, for the first time, the complete<\/i> Clint Curtis\/Tom Feeney\/Yang Enterprises vote-rigging scandal, in all of its, yes, sometimes very gory detail. It also tells a tale of the media, as it details my attempts to tell the story over the last four years, to a corrupt, detached, and too-often frightened corporate media. The BRAD BLOG broke the Curtis story<\/a> originally in late 2004, and we’ve been investigating and reporting on it ever since<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The DVD of MSVL<\/i> is finally available for purchase at VotingLies.com<\/a> and will also be premiering beginning this weekend on LinkTV, for those of you lucky enough to get the satellite TV channel. See LinkTV’s main Murder, Spies<\/i> page<\/a> for air dates and times, as well as an extended five-minute preview<\/a> of the film. Sharaf has been kind enough to offer the DVD — signed by herself and myself — available as our newest, and perhaps most appropriate, BRAD BLOG<\/a> premium ever! An online donation of $50 or more<\/a> gets you your own copy! (And just in time for Halloween!) Snail mail works as well, if you prefer to send a check to: Brad Friedman, 7095 Hollywood Blvd., #594, Los Angeles, CA 90028. The support is greatly appreciated and very much needed.<\/p>\n

LinkTV narrates their own 60-second preview of MSVL<\/i> below…<\/p>\n

For those who aren’t familiar with the remarkable Curtis\/Feeney story of the Florida software programmer who says he was asked by a powerful Republican to create vote-rigging software, where have you been? See this summary version<\/a> for the quick details.<\/p>\n

For those who are<\/i> familiar with the story, you will learn details in MSVL<\/i> you never knew, along with new interviews on the case from Gore Vidal, reporter Bob Fitrakis, computer security expert Harri Hursti, whistleblower Steve Heller, Curtis co-worker Mavis Georgalis, and many more!<\/p>\n

While the Curtis story has been told, often beautifully, in a number of other documentaries, such as Uncounted: The New Math of American Elections<\/i><\/a> and Stealing America: Vote-by-Vote<\/i><\/a>, this is the first to go all the way into all<\/i> of the frightening details underscoring this case, including the mysterious death of Florida’s Inspector General Raymond Lemme while investigating the allegations, and the bizarre case of the convicted Chinese spy, Hai Lin “Henry” Nee, who worked at the firm with Curtis.<\/p>\n

A few quotes from some of the early reviews:<\/p>\n

“Must see!…Plays like a high-tension political thriller…<\/b>Amazingly elaborate and detailed…Want to get hoppin’ mad? This’ll do it…Let’s hear it for paper ballots.<\/i>” – Bob Butler, Kansas City Star<\/a><\/p>\n

“Alfred Hitchcock would have chosen this, if the fact that it’s true didn’t scare him too much…<\/b>The crime that dare not speak its name: Election Fraud.<\/i>” – Mimi “Dharma & Greg” Kennedy, National Chair of PDA<\/a> <\/p>\n

“Well done, covers so much well, and airs unexplored aspects of our election nightmare. Definitely one of the best of the genre.<\/b><\/i>” – John Ennis, filmmaker Free For All<\/i><\/a> <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The film is also screening at a number of upcoming film-festivals around the country, including the New Jersey Film Festival this weekend. See the MSVL<\/i> website<\/a> for dates & times.<\/p>\n

Four years later, I’m happy to still be here to see the release of the film, quite frankly. There were some pretty scary days back there. It’s regrettable that nobody’s yet gone to jail, but maybe we’re getting closer<\/a>. For many of you who found this blog because<\/i> of the Curtis story back in 2004, thank you for all of the support throughout the years! I hope you’ll get the film, enjoy it, and continue to spread the word.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
