4. Election Fraud: Spooks, Saudis, Florida

Election Fraud: Spooks, Saudis, Florida "The Covert Op That Ate The World"
January 4,2005 -Venice, FL. 
by Daniel Hopsicker
While both of the terrorist pilots who crashed into the World Trade Center were students at Venice Florida’s Huffman Aviation, the flight school's owner Wallace J. Hilliard, 72, of Naples, FL., was simultaneously pursuing a diplomatic opening to Fidel Castro’s Cuba.
But it's Hilliard’s involvement with ADNAN KHASHOGGI, arms merchant and international fugitive, which we find most intriguing. The SAUDI BILLIONAIRE’s name has now surfaced in connection with the ownership of two of the election service companies whose performance in the 2004 Presidential contest has inspired heated controversy.

14. Good article, thanks for posting that link.

I hope readers realize that that website, madcowprod.com, deliberately uses hokey titles like that, just as a way of making their complex articles less dry to read. I mean, the book they tout is called "Welcome to Terrorland" and it was obviously given that sort of title/cover in order to improve its marketability.

I continue to remain fascinated by the links they find.

Did you see the part towards the end of the article where they talk about a "strikingly similar" incident involving Triad (elections systems) company, in the 1988 election, in Hillsborough County, Florida. And the part about how the 5 Saudi rich guys owned Election.com, but sold it to Accenture (which used to be Arthur Andersen)?

Sibel Edmonds said she saw incredible evidence of connections to drugs and money-laundering, in what she translated and read regarding "terror". Well... this article talks about how a huge amount of heroin was found by DEA on that private Lear jet (belonging to that guy Hilliard, the Khassoghi associate)--the Lear jet Hilliard kept on his Venice air field, the same one where Atta and other "hijackers" learned to fly.

I hope someday people will realize that the 9/11 thing was as much a huge financial (rip-off) scheme as it was a terrorist attack. Considering the amount of financial cheating the people in the article do, it's no stretch at all to think that they wouldn't even care about the cold-blooded murder of all those 9/11 victims--as long as there was big money in it, for them.

5. What a coward. This is like seeing a burning building and doing nothing to

put it out because you think maybe it could be arson.

"Nelson’s press office, however, says the senator has decided against joining a congressional challenge absent conclusive evidence “to warrant overturning the results.”

The whole point here is to have the list of election questions read into the record and force the jackasses in office to vote.

6. Jeb is visiting Earthquake victims in Asia......maybe he will stay there

He will meet a survivor of the disaster, fall in love and renounce his US citizenship!!!

[pbartch]

10. hahahaha....,..fall in love WITH HIM......

JEB WILL MEET A MAN HE CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT!

Wouldn't that be precious!

[renaissanceguy]

7. So let's see....

"Challenging election results would be political suicide."

Hmmmmm... so a Democratic senator standing up against Republicans, standing up FOR democracy.... would be politically suicidal? Republicans won't vote for him, anyway, so tell me HOW this is political suicide.

It's time we get spineless, self-interested people out of office, and place in people who REALLY care about their constituents.

8. The folks who call it political suicide

Are the ones who had us play to the middle in '00 and '04.

*sigh*

9. Jeb Could Do Both

I wouldn't be surprised.
It is also possible the Repubs will run the affable Charlie Crist (current attorney general) against Nelson. I think Crist ran against Bob Graham in 1998.

He has a rep as a lightweight. He's pro-choice. He ame up with the bill to make prison inmates work on chain gangs. He claims to support letting ex-felons have their voting rights reinstated, but has done nothing to facilitate it.

But he, as much if not more than Jeb, had an opportunity to shine during our hurricanes. He cracked down on price gouging, which is not in your typical Republican big business mold.

11. called yesterday

Said about the same thing. Voters have spoken, They don't see any verifiable fraud.

12. Jeb ain't running himself

he's just "seeking to beat him".

13. I don't trust "Brad Blog"

I don't believe their account that Nelson ever said he would challenge, thus he did not "back down."
