Jeb Bush advisor at possible "hacker rehab center" The Straights.
Edited on Tue Nov-16-04 01:37 AM by mzmolly
As many of you know a Congressman from Florida has alleged that kids in a drug rehab program in Florida "hacked the vote."

Turns out that Jeb Bush is an advisor at said school.

:tinfoilhat:

As of October 11, 2001 Jeb Bush, the governor of Florida and brother to the President of the United States, is on the Advisory Board for Straight which now calls itself the DFAF (Drug Free America Foundation, Inc.) And so is his wife Columba! James W. Holton, Commissioner of the Florida Transportation Commission, is on the board of directors of the DFAF. It should come as no surprise to see Jeb Bush tied to DFAF, after all Betty Sembler was his finance cochairman. And then there is SAFE. Straight-Orlando closed on August 14, 1992. On that very day Michael Scaletta Straight - Orlando's executive director (taking Loretta Parish, Straight - Orlando's marketing director, with him) opened SAFE, Inc. out of the same facility Straight had used. In the morning the kids had been in Straight; after lunch they were in SAFE. In late 2000 TV station WAMI from Miami, Florida did a two-day exposition on SAFE. Because Governor Jeb Bush had previously visited SAFE he had been contacted while the segment was being produced to get his thoughts of SAFE. Even though he had been told that the segment was going to be controversial, Jeb Bush sent the station this letter of endorsement of SAFE! Even without Jeb and Columba, the list of names on Straight's Advisory Board is nothing short of extraordinary!. Here they are:

I'm sure this came out in previous threads, but man this is getting interesting!

Hmmm, wonder if they sent Noelle to "The Straights" ? ;)

If so they should demand a refund.

2. Ok here's my question about The Straight connection
We know about the pedophile angle but are they testing out these torture methods for some reason or are they just sadists?

4. Gosh ... I don't know.
:eyes:

I think it's known that pedophiles put themselves in situations that involve vulnerable children. Also, regarding the torture, that's probably done with a bible in one hand and a whip in the other.

11. Neil? "Thai hookers just showed up at my door" Neil?
"DNA tests may reveal my former lover-turned-wife's child is also mine, but, shucks, too bad mother and son are in Europe where they can't be forced to have the tests" Neil?
If there really is a God, then, yes, Neil will run for president. :evilgrin:

9. That wouldn't be the only hacker program that he has at his
disposal. I know he contacted a professor at UCF that specialized in cyber crime. I wish there was some way to look into it to see what his intentions are in the long run.

12. Unfortunately, cyber crime is the next department to develop
and grow. That much should be expected. The problem is, who is going to do the monitoring? Is it going to be used as a weapon against "liberals?"

And most of all, why are right-wingers so quiet about the potential abuse of power that comes from over-taking the CIA, when they pitched a fit over Hillary Clinton's review of FBI files -- assuming it happened at all? Christ, nothing Hillary did even comes close to what the Repubs are doing.

15. What source?
The professor is absent from class, students ask why when he comes back and he tells them. No big secret. The fact that cyber crime is a burgeoning field is no big secret. You can take classes at UCF.

14. Of course Noelle would never get sent to 'The Straights'
she went to much more upscale program than that.
