here's the photographic proof Bush gets wired with that device

[Nordic]

thanks to Bush_eats_beef from another thread.

I think this picture should be spread far and wide, everywhere.

This is so obviously the same thing that he had on his back in the first debate.

And I was skeptical. I thought it was a backup wireless mic transmitter.

I was wrong.

[aquart]

1. So what is "that device"?

[Joe Turner]

6. Check this salon article out

[elsiesummers]

2. This is a real pic? WOW! <eom>

<eom>.

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

4. It's a real pic. I added the blue background and the DUI card.

...but the photo of him in the truck is 100% UNTOUCHED. I just copied and pasted it onto the blue background.

[Nordic]

7. Hey! Hope you don't mind I started a thread with it

:hi:

I thought it was important and got all excited when I saw it.

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

13. No, everything I post is "fair game" for whoever can use it.

:toast:

[elsiesummers]

16. Send it to these sources to publicize

Send to the ABC Note - they have mentioned the bulge for two days - first they linked www.isbushwired.com and next a brief article in a local NY newspaper (don't remember which one - check the abcnote for that). Might as well send it to isbushwired.com Try to get it posted at dailykos.com, bopnews.com, talkingpointsmemo.com and altercation.msnbc.com.

I agree that this picture is big big stuff - it's the smoking gun.

And can anyone post the entire URL of this thread so I and others can link it in blogs, diaries, etc.?(Sorry - I can't pull up the whole URL/source of this thread w/o printing and it's loud this late at nite).

[Stephanie]

3. Is that pic prior or post to a Press Conference?

If you have a time/date stamp on that pic that would help immensely.

I have had no doubt for four years that they are feeding him lines.

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

5. It's been around for a while...

...and it's been posted on DU before, without the blue background and DUI card I added.

It appears on the "Dubyaspeak" web site, but that is not where I found the original (don't remember). But...you can see that I did not add the lump. It's exactly the same.

COMPASSION FOR THE OVERHEATED
(Excerpted from article in the New York Times, Jul. 20, 2003)



Mr. Bush could not resist tweaking the members of the news media as they stood in the blazing sun awaiting a glimpse of a Crawford tradition: the president, driving his white pickup truck with Texas plates, arriving to pick up his guests.

As he passed a collection of sweating American and Italian reporters, Mr. Bush, showing his compassionate conservative side, rolled down his window, waved, and said: "Let me turn down my air conditioner -- how y'all doing out there?"

[A-Schwarzenegger]

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

11. That must be where I got it, because it's the right size...

thanks for finding it and posting.

:toast:

[Stephanie]

9. I think I have the same pic saved in my files

without noticing the lump.

But the crucial information would be, is he wearing the transmitter on the day of a press conference? I'm sure it could be easily proven.

[True_Blue]

12. They have the original picture at www.whitehouse.gov

Right-click on the picture below and view 'Properties' for the address.



I think Edwards is right about Bush being powered by a battery unit attached to his back.

[Stephanie]

18. It had to be the day of a Press Conference

I think he must have been on the way to meet his good friend Seeerrrrvio Berlusconi!

34. bush* is an ass

"Let me turn down my air conditioner--how y'all doing out there?"


"Now watch this drive."

[mcg]

15. Right from www.whitehouse.gov

<http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2002/08/images/20020809-1_ranch8-515h.html>

and there is more than one photo there showing him wired

[Stephanie]

22. It's incriminating if he's on the way TO or FROM a press conference.

.

[goclark]

24. Click on each picture to make them bigger

can clearly see the wires.

He must really need the wires to wear them on a hot day in Texas.

[fob]

61. BUSTED!! Here's the wire to his ear plain as day!

:evilgrin:

[Eric J in MN]

10. How does the White House explain that photo?

They claimed the bump on his back in the debate was tailoring.

Is his t-shirt tailored, too?

[Nordic]

14. well now that's what I want to hear!

They can't explain this one away. It's obviously a device, and it's obviously the same device in both instances.

What the hell is it?

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

17. They don't, but Salon does:

Oct. 13, 2004 | Speculation continues to run wild about President Bush's mystery bulge. Since Friday, when Salon first raised questions about the rectangular bulge that was visible under Bush's suit coat during the presidential debates, many observers in the press and on the Internet have wondered aloud whether the verbally and factually challenged president might be receiving coaching via a hidden electronic device.

Now a technical expert who designs and makes such devices for the U.S. military and private industry tells Salon that he believes the bulge is indeed a transceiver designed to receive electronic signals and transmit them to a hidden earpiece lodged in Bush's ear canal.

"There's no question about it. It's a pretty obvious one -- larger than most because it probably has descrambling capability," said Alex Darbut, technical and business development vice president for Resistance Technology in Arden Hills, Minn. Darbut examined photographs of the president's back taken from the Fox News video feed at the first presidential debate in Coral Gables, Fla., as well as 2002 photos of the president driving and working in a T-shirt on his Crawford ranch, which were posted on the White House Web site.

[Stephanie]

20. It's so huge! DU tech expert s- what could explain such a HUGE device???

Why so enormous?

Seems rather cumbersome.

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

25. The answer's in the Salon post...

"larger than most because it probably has descrambling capability"

[rumguy]

23. WTF is that? If it is some kind of device this is huge I'm tellin' ya!

Is that a real picture from the second debate? It's the first time I've seen it.

[lawladyprof]

36. Holy Toledo

You can see where the fabric is rippling/puckering across the rectangle and more faintly what appears to be the bottom of edge of the device/rectangle/box.

[Roland99]

19. His shoulder blade is a transmitter?

[mcg]

21. Laura Bush with a lump

I think in her case it's more likely just her suit puckering.

But I wonder what she was reading, Furious George?

[jackstraw45]

27. Where she hides her smokes....

She's gotta light up after these public events.

[Bozos for Bush]

26. Puppet Masters? Invasion of the Body Snatchers?

My vote goes to Puppet Masters, with Donald Sutherland - those things latch onto the backs of people and they change.

Bush must have had one latch onto him when he around 40 years old, snorting and drinking all the time. Some traveling minister visited him, and supposedly he became a born-again Christian. Yea right - we know what really happened. lol

[gauguin57]

28. Now the truth can be told. Ladies and gentlemen, our president

IS A ROBOT!







It's not a wrinkle, a back brace or a transmitter. It's just his lil' wings!

[Nordic]

29. a shameless kick for Wednesday

I'm off to a late start. :)

[endnote]

30. Could the BULGE be some kind of

religious thingy Bush has to keep on ? Like a plate with a few pages of the bible... many religious nuts wear all sort of shit for religious reasons... I agree, having it in the back is weird. But, could it be a Jesus image printed on a plate, to symbolically protect his back ?
Otherwise, why would he wear it everywhere? Does not make sense...

[Tesibria]

31. Help me out here...

why in the world would he be wearing a wire while driving a pickup truck????

[KansDem]

39. I thought the same thing...

Does he need someone to tell him (in real time) how to drive?

[Tesibria]

58. yeah

i think -- unless I hear something explaining why in the world he was wearing it here -- that it supports the argument that it's an "innocent" back brace or very weird fold in the shirt. I DO think that this pic is more ambiguous than the suit/debate pic.

[kmla]

62. I think he needs someone to remind him.....

... to breathe.

"Take a breath, sir!"

"Thanks. Almost forgot that."

[Perky]

32. Hey wait the arrest record says he was born in 1976

He is not old enough to be president.


Ithink we have a consitutional crisis on our hands

[On the Road]

33. Sorry, I Think This One is His Shoulder Blade

Look at the bottom corner. It does not have sharp enough corners and is not straight enough for the device at the first debate.

[lawladyprof]

35. It appears to put a lie to the tailoring argument

He is wearing a tee shirt--a knit fabric. No bunching up with a knit unless it was really stiff with sizing. This appears to soft as you would expect in a tee shirt. On his way to or from a press conference is an interesting question indeed.

[wickywom]

37. I found great photo of the suspicious lump..

but I can't post it-
If you search-- " News Photos"- reuters bush allentown
It is the 2nd one down.

[wickywom]

38. would help if I mentioned to search-- Yahoo News Photos

[hedda_foil]

64. Thanks for the proof from the Allentown rally.

[BlueNomad]

40. unfortunately

that makes me think that is some kind of back pain device not a transmitter....why would he be wearing one then??

[roseBudd]

43. Because there were reporters outside the ranch

That is the time he made fun of them for sweating in the hot sun

[HEIL PRESIDENT GOD]

41. I think

It's his furry monkey tail.

[Hubert Flottz]

42. I thought he swore off the toot!

I don't think he's wired I think he tripping!

[Catherine Vincent]

44. Oh wow, never noticed that before.

Something may be seriously wrong with Dubya.

[Geek_Girl]

45. proof He's clearly wired

http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2002/08/images/20020809-1_ranch4-765v.html

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

48. Umm...

Those things in the 2nd picture are earplugs. Looks like he was using a chainsaw.

[Geek_Girl]

51. Oops they are

My bad

[Tesibria]

59. not

these are CLEARLY soundplugs you wear to protect hearing when using chain saws, etc.

too funny.

[wickywom]

46. Could be a GPS tracking device in case

he gets drunk and wanders off on the ranch...
or maybe it's one of those devices for the elderly in case he falls down and chokes on snack food.

[Geek_Girl]

47. Look at the second pic

from the same event he's got it in his ear. No back brace their! He's wired.

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

49. Earplugs.

Earplugs. He was using a chainsaw. My father owns about a thousand pair that look just like that.

[wickywom]

50. pretty sure those are earplugs..

doin hard work can be noisy.

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

52. I don't get it.

I can see from the first pic that there might be something under his shirt. How do you get from there to a wire?

As for the thing needing to be large in order to "descramble," I'm not sure what to say. You'd need all of a couple of microcontrollers and a battery to scramble/descramble. Nothing that large.

[Geek_Girl]

53. I think its a back brace of some sort

looking at these pictures of his back I think its probably some kind of orthopedic brace or something medical. May be why he missed his physical.

[wickywom]

54. Would you take a look at the yahoo photo i found..

Cant' post it..yahoo news photos --search <reuters bush allentown
2nd one down

pretty please.

[Lex]

55. Here ya go:

[wickywom]

56. thanks.

[Tesibria]

60. you mean the rectangular thing sort of on his right shoulder?

... that is weird ... I guess .. but doesn't look the same.


cut and paste into IE. .....

story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/041001/ids_photos_ts/r2966852655.jpg

what do others think??

[Lex]

57. If you have a receiver on your back, it receives the messages

from whomever off-state, then it transmits a wireless signal to a small earpiece that has been placed into Smirk's ear canal.

No wire has to be coming out of Bush's ear for this to happen.

[Mobius]

63. looks like its his backbone from leaning over, to me

also the DOB on that "document" is 1976?

find better evidence or rethugs will just rip you apart, when you try to put evidence like this in front of them.

[wickywom]

65. I can clearly see an edge parallel to the right of his backbone.
