The poor guy had a bad case of the nervous giggles. Regardless, his testimony was compelling.

8. It was that long ago?

I was really out of it at that time, not listening to much in a state of such disbelief.

7. The biggest story in years

Funny, I don't remember seeing it in the corporate news media.

17. It was recorded Dec 13

DU's own dzika and I posted it all here. I have video of the entire forum. I don't know who shot that video, but they must've been standing near the same place as I was.

19. That's awesome. Did it get the attention it deserved?

If not, Nominate!

[ohio_liberal]

20. Well....

It got lots of play here and at some other websites. But widespread distribution? No.

[FreedomAngel82]

26. It's simply amazing

I've never seen the full testimony but am watching it now (I've read all about it though from the 2004 forum). The part I found very interesting was how he said the votes can be flipped to 51-49% for anyone. What was Paul Hackett's and John Kerry's "final numbers"?

18. Daniel Hopsicker -"The Big Fix 2004"

Pt. I: Convicted Felons, ‘Shadowy Financiers' Own Companies Counting Votes
 
November 15 2004-Venice,FL. 
by Daniel Hopsicker
 
An investigation into the surprisingly-sordid history of America’s “election services industry” has revealed that executives and owners of the two largest companies, E S & S and Sequoia Pacific, have been convicted of bribery and suborning public officials in more than a dozen states.

And while a felony conviction may be enough to prevent you from voting in Florida, convicted felons can take heart in the fact that the “blemish” on their record in no way disqualifies them from owning companies counting the votes.

In fact, the word ‘coverup’ itself was invented to describe the activities of the original owner of Sequoia Pacific, "shadowy financier" Lewis Wolfson, who got caught bribing no less a personage than a Supreme Court Justice of the United States of America.

While Abe Fortas was forced to resign in disgrace, no such harsh fate befell Wolfson.  When you own a company that counts the votes, politicians smile more kindly on you than they might otherwise... and for good reason.

Those SOBs stole this country!
People need to read this more often:
(From the article)
Curtis, "a life-long Republican" at the time, claims that it was his initial belief that Feeney's interest was in trying to stop Democrats from using "such a program to steal an election". Curtis had assumed that Feeney, "wanted to be able to detect and prevent that if it occurred."

Upon delivery of the software design and documentation on CD to Mrs. Yang, Curtis again explained to her that it would be impossible to hide routines created to manipulate the vote if anybody would be able to inspect the precompiled source code.

Mrs. Yang then told him, "You don’t understand, in order to get the contract we have to hide the manipulation in the source code. This program is needed to control the vote in South Florida."

Mrs. Yang then took the CD containing the software from Curtis, reportedly for later delivery to Feeney.

In other meetings with Feeny prior to the 2000 elections, it became clear to Curtis that Feeney had plans to suppress the vote in strong Democratic precincts. In the affidavit, Curtis claims that in those meetings Feeney had "bragged that he had already implemented 'exclusion lists' to reduce the 'black vote'." Feeney also mentioned that "proper placement of police patrols could further reduce the black vote by as much as 25%."

[FreedomAngel82]

28. So that is how

they got the list of people to surpress in 2000!!! They weren't ready for the machine's yet so they had to do something. Now they ruined so many lives too (that young doctor that was interviewed in Palast's documentary). :mad:

[Imagevision]

29. The Dems deaf ears on this when sworn testimony was given makes

me think that DEms-Repugs....it just doesn't matter any longer, it's all power and money, the rest of it is just window dressing as the slaughter in Iraq continues like a parlor game.

[Joanne98]

30. I never new about the Chinese spy part. I can't believe Mrs. Yang

isn't being investigated. They should at least care about STEALING NATIONAL SECURITY SECRETS! Fucking Bushco is probably selling them to make MO MONEY!

34. .

[SteppingRazor]

35. Pretty old news... and,also, completely unconfirmed.

I looked into this myself when Brad Blog first broke the Clint Curtis story. No other computer programming employee at Yang will confirm this. Neither Feeney nor Yang nor anyone else named by Curtis will talk about this, or else they cannot recall it. And several points in the story -- such as Curtis being a "life-long Republican" -- are demonstrably false.
