Hot!! Jeb Bush>Jeff Fisher>Straight School>FBI Cybernet bust.

[Carl Brennan]

This established link between Blass and Semler/Sembler of Straight School, referred to by Jeff Fisher to Cybernet bust and Jeb Bush



Now look at my Fisher topic, he said he had hard proof of hacking and that he had called in the FBI. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=203x27340


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.



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:

Here is a topic on the Cybernet bust
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=203&topic_id=61397&mesg_id=61397


I was at first looking at PMing this for private use, but I think its time the public see this.
Interestingly enough, Dr. Piotr Blass is not only significant and real, he has alot of resume background in Michigan state, and otherwise, is connected to a very interesting corporation known as CyberNET Venturs Inc.(which manages all of Cybernets divisions...)
In the allegations report, a certain vendor described that such a network company was financing the operation through Mel Sembler and a few other bad eggs connected to the head of the game map. Another company was described as giving source to certain code.....Turns out CyberN is indeed an open source code distributor to several organizations, ultimately not even limited to voting companies. Also turns out an employee named Guitterez works(or had worked) there and created actual databases for elections across the USA and easily the globe, that are certainly not MS Access.

If you value children, then sign the Petition above. David Lopez Blassspent his birthday on Monday where twenty-four children are being abused verbally, physically, mentally and sexually. Growing Together has been doing this under the protection of HRS and now DCF over the past 15 years. DCF and Steve Walsh are now conducting a thorough investigation and compiling facts that will lead to their license being revoked.

Then Carolab's response #31:
http://thestraights.com/news/#gt-rape <http://thestraights.com/news/> Growing Togetehr is a "faith-based" program owned by the Semlers. For those who don't already know: Mel and Betty Semler ran the myriad Straight foundations, in multiple states, and have been sued over/involved in multiple child abuse cases for over a decade.



Then we have Jeb Bush's link to one of Cybernet's affiliates Choicpoint:

1. Wow!

:wow:

Now let's all watch the media ignore it!

[New Earth]

2. isn't there anyone to report findings like this to?

any lawyer, or SOMEONE who can actually take this information and investigate it? Maybe the info should be sent to Jeff Fisher somehow.

[bluetrain]

4. I spoke with him last night and he reitterated that the FBI

is investigating and that as far as he can tell they are still on the up and up.

[Carl Brennan]

9. That is what worries me. Fisher is looking alot like Vreeland with all

of the mixed messages about his sanity blah, blah. The FBI seized those computers but what are they doing with them?

[bluetrain]

13. yeah, I mean I don't know what to think

Like I said elsewhere, he did sound a little weird but it was after 4am and if everything going on is true...But I really don't know. The biggest hole in the story for me is that it seems a logical fallacy to involve so many people in the actual alteration of the votes and I brought this up to Al and he kind of side stepped it. If they do have actual evidence, then it makes sense to me that they'd keep it under wraps so that whomever did this isn't aware of the specifics of their info but...if you're going to hide the gold until the case can be made why bring any of it out into the open prematurely?

[Garbo 2004]

16. It would improve his credibility if the people he claims he is working

with actually confirmed that they are working with him. Fisher claimed that Nader's rep made an "official announcement" that Nader and he were working together on this stuff. Nader's rep says he made no such announcement (per Olbermann). Then Fisher changed the focus away from the announcement that didn't happen to something else, suggesting the Nader rep was out of the loop.

There was a section on his site where Rogers spoke with the DNC legal counsel. Supposedly after revealing the fraud of the century to the DNC legal team that would rock the country, Rogers then goes on to complain about a Florida newspaper reporter and says the paper has been informed (by whom?) that the DNC will sue the newspaper for libel if it doesn't retract a story saying they spoke to Fisher when they didn't actually speak to him directly. Besides the lack of proportionality, revealing stunning election fraud and then complaining about a newspaper story to the DNC, it's simply not credible that the DNC is going to sue a Florida newspaper over something like that.

Sending letters, talking to folks and dropping names is not the same thing as working in concert with those same folks which might lend some credence to his claims.

No doubt Fisher's targeted some shady characters and businesses with influential political connections. But that in itself is not proof of his claims.

And if indeed these guys are not playing with a full deck, this is just the sort of "outlandish" story that some people would love to use to discredit those who presently are working on the ground, performing recounts, audits and investigations. Just a thought.

[bluetrain]

22. re: Fisher/Zeese

Al said that Zeese was getting hot under the collar about semantics and they were trying to appease him by rewording the message.

I agree with your points.

[Carl Brennan]

23. Stress can cause alot of the mixed messages I see coming from

Fisher. That is not to say that stress "IS" causing this, it is simply possible. IMO what is important is to keep this channel open with all of its weirdness and see what pans out. The fact that people at the Straight School and the Cybernet are linked ads some serious credibility to what Fisher said originally.

If I were to guess now I would say Fisher is being seriously fucked with by the Bushboys. It has happened to alot of others who know damning stuff about the BFEE like Casolaro, Riconosciuto, Hatfield, Vreeland. Fisher needs to get some protection, IMO.


Some of the stuff coming from his website could be put out by somebody else, if his website was hacked.

[EST]

31. Fisher

may be a half a bubble off without it, necessarily, impuning his information, although caution does seem well advised. Too bad.

[burn the bush]

36. about no messeges from yahoo

somewhere in this thread it said that fisher said that yahoo messages were not getting through. While is was searching for info, i saw that one of the cybernet guys was friends with the yahoo creater.
someone explain to me. is the cybernet business that was busted still the one we are talking about?

[Woo]

37. Yep...

That's the one...

I'm a bit confused about their connection, something about some missiing servers and money --

[ClintonTyree]

3. They ignore anything.....................

that is derogatory to the Bush Royal Family. You'll never here a peep about it, at least not from the MSM. Bloggers will pick up on it, but then all Bloggers are tin hatted conspiracy nuts anyway. :eyes:

5. Interesting, thanks

[JD Lau]

7. Oh my god...why does this not surprise me?

[BlueDog2u]

8. Another clue?

http://fox17.trb.com/news/111804-wxmi-cybernet,0,956334.story

This is very interesting:

"The suit claims the Illinois bank got involved when it helped Cyberco buy equipment from that third company, Teleservices, through a lease agreement. The deal for 70 servers was worth about $3 million.

That may be just the tip of the iceberg. In the complaint, Charter One's lawyers say there's evidence Cyberco may have done the same thing with 70 financiers to purchase 2500 servers. They question whether all of that equipment actually exists."


In other words, the suit alleges a scam in which money is borrowed to purchage servers and possibly other equipment, which either does not exist, is no longer in possession of CyberNET, or simply can't be found.

Hmmm...I wonder where the missing servers could be? The Phillipines? Mexico? Where would you go, if you were setting up an international criminal racket to steal an election? Doing it from a foreign country would have some real advantages, wouldn't it?

[Carolab]

10. That was my thought, as well

It could have been done from outside the country

[Unforgiven]

30. Yes

And Jeb Bush is constantly running back and forth from South America and Florida, I'm thinking it's not just for trade.

[Carl Brennan]

44. Good find. Thanks

[GingerSnaps]

178. Swiss Bank?

18. BBV thread here -- DOWNRIGHT SPOOKY!

BLACKBOX VOTING thread that is calling for researchers

Quote from BBV thread:
"Here is what: We need an astute group of search experts, to find any, and every single tie the one and only CyberNET Ventures has with this issue because it leads straight to the top and back to the whitehouse. So far much information seems to be missing (blank pages) so experts who have background in information management, do your part! Search all the archives and find any and all reports and links of these companies together, linkes to ChoicePoint, links between each party and so on and get this rotton egg hard broiled!"

This BBV thread gave me the willies and I’ve been spellbound half the night reading it!


<http://www.blackboxvoting.org/cgi-bin/dcforum/dcboard.cgi?az=show_thread&om=56&forum=DCForumID4122&viewmode=all>

This thread is significant, so please don’t be put-off by the title of the subject (about CalTech) or the length of the thread.

It gets even more interesting toward bottom with the more recent and today’s posts -- the RESEARCH IS AMAZING, the thread is actually about researching and discovering all the ties between the usual suspects of VoterGate:

• Diebold, ES&S and Sequoia
• CyberNET group (raided by FBI today)
• Linux and SourcePlus
• ChoicePoint (the felon rolls of Florida)
• the Gutierrez family and other shady characters

These people are getting CLOSE!

Finding the "how" becomes much easier once you know the "who" and the "what".

If and when these companies/people are all tied together -- IT WILL BE THE SMOKING GUN, the Theory of Everything.

105. It's a trap!

Or at least a tar pit. That's the thought that keeps coming back to me as I look through this. Most of the posts on the BBV thread are from one person (who just signed up a week ago), and most of the rest are challenges to explain some goofiness in his logic or substantiate some "fact". He does so be dragging in even more unsupported facts about seemingly unrelated issues--the whole thing goes around in tangled circles.

We sure could spend a lot of time checking to see if there is something to this...

Or we could keep our eye on the ball.

group through its moderator has been posting messages to the net.
However, since November 16, 2004 none of those messages have reached the

people who want to post suspicious incidents and information regarding
this past General Election.

Election Fraud 2004 posted messages finally came through the Internet.
Whomever had the capability and technology to stop the messages from

That is how they can stop the news from reaching the people in a timely
fashion.



That is the act of a group of people who are trying to suppress the

Email message from Wake Forest University:
Is the FBI investigation something that seems like it will take a
number of
months or could they potentially have some "official" information prior
to
the final nationwide certification of the election?



My answer to the person from Wake Forest University:

Regarding the FBI: The possibilities meets] are still up in the air. The reason for any hope lies with
information that Russ Baker from The Nation told us yesterday that he thought it
was important, but he didn't have the time or resources to investigate.
In addition, Eve Conant of Newsweek has received copies of documents
from the "sender" that confirmed my earlier statements regarding my
meeting with the sender, when I saw some of the documents regarding the 2000
and 2002 election. The information that Eve Conant received backs up
the sender’s" statement that it was going to happen in multiple states
during the 2004 General Election. The information Russ Baker revealed
to us on November 19, 2004 was that the “sender” gave him a copy of
several hundred names and corresponding social security numbers that the
“sender” claimed were used in the 2000 election to cast votes. Today,
November 20, 2004 we learned that this appears to have happened in
Precinct
16 in Kansas City, Missouri during the 2004 General Election.

26. read the part at the bottom

I heard of a democratic grassroots person in Missouri who was concerned that the felon list might have been used to pad voter rolls, and she went to a residence on the registered voter list where several men lived and they told her that they were felons and couldn't vote, but yet they were listed as "new voters" on her list.

I saw that post too -- Maybe we need to find that DUer as well... does anyone other than myself (realise I am now knee deep in tin foildom) think this is important ? In fact -- after I think about this is probably the same person -- her profile says, Kansas -- and the person who made that post said they were in Missouri -- Kansas + Missouri = Kansas City, Missouri

Ah well, that's the extent of my supersleuth abilities...

Maybe someone who speaks to Fisher should ask him -- if people who have seen canvassing reports/documents or might have those doco's in their possession have noticed that tons of felons are listed as 'new voter' -- Does that have anything to do with his case or not?

38. Can somebody help me here?

I've done almost nothing since the election but read this board, send $$ for recounts, and write letters. Somehow I can't connect the dots on this one. I've seen several threads dealing with Jeff Fisher and read some of them. I guess I stopped when I thought people were saying his story didn't hold water.

I'm asking for some kind soul to give me a summary of what is going on with this story. Surely I'm not the only one having trouble.

42. You are not the only one - I must have missed the memo

[BlueDog2u]

45. BlueDog2U's back of the envelope summary

Of the Jeff Fisher fraud allegations.

Fisher alleges that Piotr Blass, a computer tech scientist, has information regarding the training of juvenile delinquents to hack the vote in 2004 and in previous elections. Allegedly the Bay Point School, a conservative Christian boarding school for delinquents, has been involved in this activity. The school and its affiliates have a long history of accusations of abuse, both torture and sexual abuse, of former inmates. Grassroots campaigns and legal actions have not succeeded in shutting the school down, perhaps in part because of protection by powerful GOP Floridians allied with the school's ultraconservative "Christian" ideology. According to Fisher, Blass has been reluctant to speak out because he is protecting Joseph Klock, the lawyer for Katherine Harris with strong Bush family ties. Klock apparently assisted Blass in his efforts to have his son released from detainment at Bay Point.

The best summary is here:

Allegedly, Blass has connections to the Grand Rapids Michigan Company, CyberNET, which was recently raided by the FBI.

http://www.mlive.com/news/muchronicle/index.ssf?/base/news-3/110079456740490.xml


DU investigation includes several corollary leads:

1) Is CyberNET Group (http://www.cybernet-usa.com/), the Grand Rapids Company which has been raided, the same as Cybernet military industrial company (http://www.cybernet.com/products/), also in Michigan? Answer unknown.

2) What exactly is Blass's connection with CyberNET Group? I haven't seen clear evidence of the link.

3) What is the Bush family's connection with Bay Point school and its affiliates? There seems to be a strong family connection to Jeb, as well as to Klock and other Bush operatives in Florida.


I'm sure there are some other issues as well, but these are some of the most obvious ones. I hope this summary helps.

49. BlueDog2U's---THANK YOU!!

:yourock:

BTW--I spent a few minutes reading the link to BBV and it is amazing what they are coming up with.

Again, BlueDog, thank you!!

[BlueDog2u]

63. You're welcome

Always a good exercise, to try to summarize and condense the confusion in a few pars.

[Carl Brennan]

65. Nice summary, thanks. Dr. Blass is the man we need on the witness

stand, if he won't blow the whistle. This thing is metastisizing. I can feel it.

[eowyn_of_rohan]

103. Will Blass blow the whistle if he has his own skeletons in the closet?

What are his ties to Bay Point, Cybernet, and who knows what else?

66. A relevant anecdote (perhaps)

I am a BBV vounteer for my county. My function is only to request, obtain and relay the needed data from my local elections supervisor to the crew at BBV. A foot-soldier. Nothing more. Uninteresting data from a medium sized county in an unimportant state. I managed to complete that function last night.
But, last Tuesday night I was reading Jeff Fisher's website and relaxing with a beer or two. Then I cruised over to the BBV Clean Up Crew Forums to see what was shaking. Someone had just posted the curriculum vite of Dr. Pietr Blass and I read it.
The resume listed a cell phone number. I don't quite know what possessed me ( it happend almost in an instant ) Perhaps it was empathy for someone who was protecting someone who had helped his son out of a mess superimposed on my passion to get to the bottom of all of this. But I called it.
A man with a european accent answered, "Dr. Blass ".
Astonished, I dove right in, " Dr. Blass. I am a volunteer for an organization investigating election fraud. If Jeff Fisher's allegations are true, I undestand that you want to protect Jeff Klock because he helped win your son's freedom. But the information that you are reported to have is crucial to the freedom of millions of americans."
Obviously startled, He responded, " who are you?"
I replied," I am a volunteer for Blackboxvoting. Please go to the media. It's the only thing that might save us."
and then I hung up.
Believe me folks. I'm not one with delusions of grandeur and I know my place. usually.
Since I am a frequent caller to The Mike Malloy Show on Air America, I called Kathy the asst. producer who handles call screening. " Kathy, It's Wiley. I think I just screwed up royally........".
She told me that I had not harrassed the guy and acted out of duty and compassion and not to worry about it.
Good. I've confessed to the world. I expect your criticism.
So much for first impressions on my first post.

[Carl Brennan]

76. hee, hee. If Blass comes forward I'll buy you

a beer. You never know. I sure hope you made him think.

:toast:

[BlueDog2u]

77. Wow

I'm impressed! Excellent work. If Blass does speak up, we will have you to thank, among others!

[Mike Nelson]

82. We are all but tiny cogs...

...in the great wheel.

[Carl Brennan]

136. How about calling him again and ask him if he worked for

any company with the name Cybernet, or CyberNET in it?


Also ask him how he pronounces his first name.

[Wiley50]

145. Carl, It's someone else's turn this time

The curriculum vitae is posted on BBV and available elsewhere, I'm sure. I don't want to take any chance to be accused of harrassment. Although, I think it's a valid approach ( if he's still using that cell phone )

Wiley

[Carl Brennan]

149. We also have to be sure he is Blass and not somebody else.

:tinfoilhat:

[Wiley50]

146. as far as pronunciation

with his accent it sounded like it was spelled with an ah,phoneticaly

[Wiley50]

147. OOP! you said his First name

I think it's the same as Peter ( and he appears to be living up to his name, if I must say )
And I must.

Gov. Jeb Bush has repeatedly denied any partisan motive in how the list was developed. Bush spokeswoman Jill Bratina said Thursday that the governor was concerned about the felon list's failure to include Hispanic felons and has asked Secretary of State Glenda Hood to do an audit. Hispanics in Florida tend to lean Republican.

``Our No. 1 goal is to have integrity in our elections, to have a smooth and fair election process,'' Bratina said. ``There are people out there who have an agenda, and that agenda includes eroding confidence in Florida's elections.''

The rights commission has a contentious history with Florida leaders, especially former Secretary of State Katherine Harris. After the 2000 presidential election, commissioners released a draft assessment of the election in Florida that called Harris and Bush ``grossly derelict in fulfilling their responsibilities.''

The commission toned down its language in the final report, but Commission Chairwoman Mary Frances Berry made it clear Thursday that she hasn't forgotten - or forgiven - recent history.

``The whole reason why we're having these proceedings is to keep alerting the country to the fact that there are problems, and to try to put people's feet to the fire to make sure they try to solve the problems,'' Berry said. ``So far what we have from Ms. Hood is just a sliding away from the problems.''

Jenny Nash, a spokeswoman for Hood, said the secretary of state was ``disappointed with the partisan tone'' of the commission meeting. Hood sent a letter to the commission detailing the state's decision on the felon list, but did not attend.

``If they're going to investigate, we would welcome the Department of Justice and work diligently with them,'' Nash said. ``We feel that we have followed the law and what the Florida statutes mandated.''

The commission also called on Accenture, the company that helped develop the database of potential felons, to defend its work.

The state paid the firm nearly $2 million to develop the central voter file and to create a way to screen rolls for felons who haven't had voting rights restored.

Accenture took on the contract after a similar list released before the 2000 election removed thousands of voters from the state rolls. An NAACP lawsuit helped establish new list guidelines.

Accenture executive Meg McLaughlin said the company was unaware of the flaw that failed to spot potential Hispanic felons.

She also said that state officials were well aware that the list could be flawed. That's why individual county election supervisors were ultimately given the task of vetting the list, McLaughlin said, and her company's job was merely to help develop the database.

43. OMG--ACCENTURE: LOOK!!!!

http://www.whoseflorida.com/our_voice-winter-2004.htm#Bush,%20State%20Workers%20and%20Accenture

Allegedly, Jeb (acronym for John Ellis Bush) wants to rid anyone who monitors him or his administration. He wants to rid anybody or anything that wants safe air, safe water and wants to make government workers a bad name. He wants to give his buddies huge contracts, so his friends earn gigantic salaries while the rest of us struggle to pay utility bills or "put food" on our tables.

Take Accenture, for example. Gov. JE BuSh hired this company (who took its offices out of the U.S. so U.S. laws don't apply to them and they don't have to pay U.S. taxes) to produce a computer and communications' service. http://www.accenture.com/xd/xd.asp?it=enweb&xd=index.xml

The consulting firm that broke away from the crumbling Andersen Worldwide empire in 2000 is paring its payroll in Houston (Arthur Anderson who reportedly destroyed documents in the Enron scandal). Accenture, which lists Bermuda as the company's corporate home, broke away from parent company Andersen Worldwide in 2000. Accenture's job is to privatize government and outsource the jobs to private companies (aka BuSh pals). The company has had serious problems in OH, NY and Ontario.

http://www.polarisinstitute.org/corp_profiles/public_service_gats_pdfs/Accenture.pdf .

Allegedly, Accenture was paid 90 million for the Business & Professional Regulation contract, gets paid $10,000. for each government worker the company can rid and will be the only company that could maintain and keep this program running!

IT GETS BETTER:
Offshore Company Captures Online Military Vote 7/16/03 EcoTalk: "Last year, while President Bush marshaled U.S. forces for the invasion of Iraq, the patriots at the Department of Defense awarded the contract for a new online voting system for the military... to an offshore company. It gets worse. Secure Electronic Registration and Voting Experiment (SERVE) is the system and Accenture (formerly Anderson Consulting of Enron bankruptcy fame) is the company. And although Accenture has not been officially implicated in the Enron scandal, they have created a reputation of their own that is already raising eyebrows."

http://www.blackvoternetwork.com/votefraud.htm

The Canada-based Polaris Institute published a scathing report on Accenture, saying, "Accenture's efforts in government outsourcing have often been very expensive and/or of poor quality. There is good reason to question Accenture's track record in outsourcing of government services."

Accenture is the leading offshore beneficiary of government contracts whose main business is the privatization of government services, according to Lee Drutman of Citizen Works, a non-profit founded by Ralph Nader. Accenture has a troubling track record, a close business relationship with Dick Cheney's Halliburton, and 2500 partners - more than half are not U.S. citizens.

In March 13, 2000 Andersen Consulting (now Accenture) and Microsoft signed a "$1 Billion Pact To Form Joint Venture and Expand Global Alliance." What's the alliance? To control voting systems around the world?

July 2000 David Lesar succeeded Dick Cheney as Chairman and CEO of Halliburton Company. Before joining Halliburton, Lesar was employed by the Arthur Andersen, Accenture's former parent company. Polaris says, "…while defending Halliburton's accounting practices, David Lesar publicly acknowledged that Cheney knew about the firm's accounting practices..."

In an October 2001 press release, Halliburton and Accenture announced a major expansion of their longstanding relationship with the signing of an alliance between Accenture and Landmark Graphics Corporation, a wholly owned business unit of Halliburton. Can anyone at the Pentagon spell "national security"?
.... DonnaQuixote, 2/15/04


Accenture has a troubling track record, a close business relationship with Dick Cheney's Halliburton and 2500 partners - more than half of whom are not U.S. citizens.

Since 2001, Accenture and Election.com have been strategic partners "to jointly deliver comprehensive election solutions to governments worldwide," according to their press release.

In June 2003, Accenture bought the public-sector election assets of Election.com, which suffered its own scandal this year when it was discovered that Osan Ltd, a firm of Saudi and other foreign investors, bought controlling interest in it.

According to Mark Harrington of NewsDay.com, "Several shareholders of the company said they were surprised by the recent buyout and have asked for securities regulators to investigate."

Election.com has had other problems.

In January 2003, during Canada's New Democratic Party leadership convention, the Canadian Broadcasting System reported, Earl Hurd of Election.com said he believes someone used a "denial of service" program to disrupt the voting ö paralyzing the central computer by bombarding it with a stream of data service was restored."

"Toronto city councilor Jack Layton's victory on the first ballot surprised many, who had expected a second or even third round of voting before a leader was chosen from the pack of six candidates."

For election security experts, a strong and growing suspicion is that computer glitches or disruptions are actually vote rigging.

A surprise election result should raise a red flag.

Accenture is big. It has more than 75,000 employees in 47 countries, and generated net revenues of $11.6 billion for the fiscal year ended Aug. 31, 2002.

On their Board of Directors is Steve Ballmer, Microsoft's CEO and known to many as Bad Boy Ballmer for his ruthless, if not illegal, business practices.

Microsoft has been sued by the federal government and several states for monopolistic business practices which were designed to destroy their competition.

AND:Nader Urges Bush to Cancel Homeland Security Contract With Accenture
Today, Independent Presidential Candidate Ralph Nader urged President Bush to cancel the largest Homeland Security contract ever awared. The contract was awarded to Accenture, a foreign corporation based in Bermuda. Nader criticized the decision saying "Awarding up to a ten billion dollar contract to Accenture – a company that is undermining US fiscal needs by avoiding payment of US taxes is shameful."

June 7, 2004
George W. Bush

Washington, DC 20500

Re: Awarding contracts to companies that avoid paying US taxes

Dear Mr. President:

I was astonished to learn that your Administration has awarded the largest Homeland Security contract ever to a foreign corporation that has incorporated its corporate offices in Bermuda to avoid paying taxes in the United States. Awarding up to a ten billion dollar contract to Accenture – a company that is undermining US fiscal needs by avoiding payment of US taxes is shameful. The contract is for Accenture to develop systems for exit and entry controls on our border. You could not find a US chartered corporation for this outsourced task?

Two years ago Accenture lobbied Congress against legislation that would have barred the new Homeland Security Department's contracts from going to corporations which exploit tax loopholes and are incorporated in tax havens. Accenture helped ensure that corporations which fail to pay their fair share in US taxes can still receive US tax dollars in government contracts. In 2003 the Senate unanimously endorsed an amendment by Sen. Mark Dayton that would bar homeland security contracts to firms that duck taxes by incorporating in offshore tax havens. Senator Dayton was following the late Sen. Paul Wellstone who won Senate approval for a similar measure. But behind closed doors in a House-Senate conference committee, Republicans largely scuttled Dayton's amendment, which was included in a soon-to-become-law omnibus bill.

On April 15, 2004 you said you wanted to "make sure that the system is fair for those of us who do pay taxes" and that "we want everybody paying their fair share." Therefore, I urge you to invoke whatever clauses permit you to void these procurement services. Further, you should strongly support legislation to prevent corporations that avoid paying US taxes from receiving contracts in the future. It is time for authentic patriotic standards to be applied to corporations.

Sincerely,

Ralph Nader

Saudi/Yemen Link to Online Election Company

Election.com, a privately held New York-based election software firm, currently holds a contract with the Defense Department to provide online absentee ballot voting for the U.S. military in 2004.
However, Election.com also recently revealed that its majority stockholders were a group of Saudi businessmen who did not want their names to be known.
According to a February 2003 article published in Newsday by Mark Harrington, in "a letter sent to a select group of well-heeled Election.com investors Jan. 21, the online voting and voter registration company disclosed that the investment group Osan Ltd. paid $1.2 million to acquire 20 million preferred shares to control 51.6 percent of the voting power."
According to the Newsday article, Osan Ltd. purchased "passive control" of Election.com using money obtained from foreign sources. Osan Ltd. is described as an investment group made up of unnamed Saudi businessmen.

Accenture elects VeriSign for e-voting

By JOAB JACKSON

Troops overseas üto use online system for absentee ballots
As recent headlines have shown, building a foolproof electronic voting system is difficult. A successful system must protect the voter's privacy while ensuring strict accountability of each vote cast.

For the Defense Department, Accenture Ltd., Hamilton, Bermuda, is developing an online voting system that can be used by military personnel out of the country to cast absentee ballots. This is part of a $10.5 million contract from the Defense Department's Federal Voting Assistance Program.

"We're replacing the postal system with the Internet system," said Meg McLaughlin, chief executive of Accenture's eDemocracy Services practice.

To firmly establish the identities of the people casting votes, Accenture is using an online, managed, digital certificate service from VeriSign Inc., Mountain View, Calif.

By using the public key infrastructure support system that VeriSign already has in place, Accenture eliminates the need to set up and maintain its own service for establishing and checking the digital credentials of voters, McLaughlin said.

The project, known as the Secure Electronic Registration and Voting Experiment, will enable troops, their dependents and other military personnel stationed outside the United States to vote in 2004 primary and general elections. Using a Web browser, these users can vote over the Internet from any military computer. The local jurisdictions provide the appropriate voting forms electronically to the voter.

Thus far, seven states have signed up to use the service in the 2004 elections. Accenture expects 100,000 participants to use the service next year.

The identities of the military personnel are verified through the Defense Department's Common Access Cards, which personnel must use to sign onto the computer. The card has the user's public key, an encrypted number that will be verified over the Internet by VeriSign. Nonmilitary users will use a password and must answer a series of personal questions to gain voting privileges.

The system is immune from tampering by its unique design, McLaughlin said.

The system establishes an encrypted channel between the voter and the voting officials in local election offices. After receiving the votes from absentee voters over the Internet, officials feed the results into their jurisdictions' vote tabulations. Once cast, a vote does not appear on a computer screen, so a voter cannot sell his or her vote by providing photographic evidence of it.

Because the potential for abuse is so great, both government and citizens scrutinize e-voting heavily.

As a result, Accenture "needed a facility that is incredibly, physically secure," McLaughlin said. It also could not suffer any downtime during elections.

VeriSign hosts two domain name root servers that help provide the basic Web address index for the Internet.

"We've made enormous investments to make sure we have a high-performance environment. From that infrastructure, we are able to leverage these services for our customers," said George Shu, vice president of business development for VeriSign.

For instance, four major telecommunications carriers simultaneously serve the facility in Dulles, Va., that holds a root server to ensure constant uptime. It also has an advanced disaster recovery backup measures in place.

VeriSign also simplifies Accenture's infrastructure management.

"The fewer vendors you have to manage, the better. Because VeriSign has the digital certificates and the ability to get them to the users, it makes it easier for us to work with them as one entity," McLaughlin said.

In the market for digital certificate products and managed services, VeriSign competes with Baltimore Technologies plc, Hertfordshire, U.K., and Entrust Inc., Addison, Texas. VeriSign reported revenue of $1.2 billion for 2002, against which it lost $5 billion, due largely to amortizations and write-downs in goodwill and intangibles, according to the company.

VeriSign is banking on agencies increasingly requiring digital certificates for e-government initiatives and in-house security. By offering digital certificates as a managed service, VeriSign estimates that a buyer can save weeks or months by not setting up the solution itself, said Barry Leffew, VeriSign's vice president of its public-sector group.

Accenture established its eDemocracy Services practice last June to pursue what officials expect to be a growing market.

Thus far, the company has done voter database work for Florida, a number of pilot e-voting programs for the United Kingdom. France, Sweden and Italy are also looking at trial programs, McLaughlin said.

"We think Internet voting is coming. It won't happen overnight. It will be an evolutionary process," McLaughlin said. "But we'd like to be there and we think the Federal Voting Assistance Program is a really important one in getting us out there."

74. Are you ready for some MORE about Accenture?

LEAKY BORDERS
Visitors from other countries aren’t consistently screened for terrorist ties.
The US-VISIT program, a $10 billion contract, recently was awarded to Accenture Ltd.,. an offshore company initially called Andersen Consulting when it was formed by partners in Arthur Andersen LLC, the accounting firm disgraced in the Enron debacle.
The program is operating at some of the nation’s entry points — 115 airports, 14 seaports and few land borders.
The largest nondefense contract awarded by the federal government, the fingerprint-scanning system has drawn fire from experts who say it doesn’t thoroughly match visitors’ fingerprints against international terrorist watch lists.

Department of Homeland Security officials say time will improve the system.

“It’s something that over time will be upgraded and expanded and will ultimately try to capture complete travel records when a foreign traveler arrives and departs the U.S.,” said DHS spokeswoman Kimberly Wiseman.

Although the system has resulted in 700 to 900 “hits” of immigration violators and those wanted for crimes such as rape and murder, Wiseman admitted it hasn’t snagged a terrorist “that I am aware of.”

Wiseman also admitted visitors to general aviation airports aren’t subject to similar scrutiny. “We don’t have those federal inspection areas for private jets,” she said, adding DHS is considering adding mobile units.

Also, the US-VISIT contract requires only a portion of the nation’s land border entry points be monitored by the end of this year.
Recent government intelligence reports have suggested the porous Mexican border might be attractive to terrorists staging in Latin America.
A U.S. House aide who recently toured the Mexican border said she was startled to find many border guards without radios.
As for the US-VISIT system monitoring alien departures, part of its mandate, just three pilot projects are under way — in Baltimore, Miami and Chicago.

57. CyberNet overkill?

Could someone please state the connection of the CyberNet to Fisher because the original email that linked the two really didn't say. Only that CyberNet had been raided by the FBI. Just because a company has been raided by the FBI doesn't mean it is connected. And to say CyberNet was linked to Diebold does not mean much if the two names appear on the same web page. Diebold probably has vending machines that have Coke cans but that does not mean Coke and Diebold are in bed together. What possible service did CyberNet perform?

Also, I've never seen anything linking Blass to CyberNet other than both have links to Michigan. Blass got his PhD in Ann Arbor, but that doesn't seem like much of a link to me. I'm not saying that CyberNet is not important, perhaps it is, but many many other potential rewarding lines of investigation remain unexamined on Piotr Blass CV and this are definitely worth scrutinizing. I do not know what to make of the Fisher story but it does seem promising and Fisher has directly linked Blass to the whatever happened. Blass's CV is striking for several reasons. (1) It places him at BayPoint Schools in '03. (2) Why was Blass employed at Baypoint? It likely had to do with computers but it doesn't take someone of Blass's experience to network the school or run their computer lab. He was way way over qualified. Still that does not mean anything in and of itself since people often find themselves doing things that they are overqualified for. (3) Why did Blass's son become incarcerated in '04 at the very school at which Blass was once employed? (4) If his CV is genuine, then it is striking for several reasons. He went to undergraduate in Poland in the 70's and then went to graduate school at Harvard and the U. Michican. So, Blass apparently emerges from behind the Iron Curtain to receive postgraduate education in the US. He has published a number of academic articles. He has also worked for a number of companies and has a number of computer skills which may be relevent. Perhaps those companies and skills of Blass's are worth mining?


Another blog about the Fisher story made a big to do about Accenture. I do think that that link merits attention, definitely because of connections to voting lists in multiple states and (to a lesser degree Enron). The problem is that Accenture is a BIG company. It's like saying IBM or Microsoft. So, just because one can google Accenture and the name of another company doen't mean much in and of itself.

[Carolab]

60. DISAGREE

They run an "E-Democracy" voting section. They are linked to Andersen Consulting-Enron-Halliburton and Jeb Bush's "felon rolls". They are offshored in Bermuda. They got a HUGE homeland security defense contract. They are linked to the Saudis.

What MORE do you need to think Accenture is a big deal here?

64. Hmmmm

Do you think the person above you is fishing? No pun intended.

67. Umm,

I need you to stay up until 3 am exhausting yourself trying to convince me of the obvious....because by nature I am a skeptical person...can't you just tell by the precise and carefull way I worded my post? Shame on you, you tinfoil hat blogger.

You rock, Carolab! Don't get distracted.

[stirringstill]

81. Great contribution

Fishing? I have contributed to the Fisher story since it broke on DU and have defended Fisher threads (eventhough Fisher seems a bit wacky) on DU and on Kos so please spare making it personal and pissing on someone who actually typed more than a sentence. I was the first one to post on Choicepoint (inspired by Palast's research) in a DU Fisher discussion last week. Voter list control is central if not the key. As with CyberNet, I was just fearing that people were going to post every blessed person or company that has every had anything to do with Accenture and that would damage the Discussion since the waters would be muddied. Example: Accenture sponsors a PGA golf tournament.

[Unforgiven]

91. My Apologies

Can't be to careful these days.
Sorry

[BlueDog2u]

100. Apologies also

You raise some important questions. Let's try to answer them.

[stirringstill]

68. Agreed

You are absolutely right that Accenture is very very promising. But Accenture is a giant company with thousands of people who are likely oblivious to anything related to what is going on. Accenture is simply one of the largest accounting firms in WORLD. (One could say the state of FLA is important, too.) I was simply encouraging encouraging us to dig for names and positions and responsibilities. Example: what states did accenture control voting lists? What division of accenture? Who were the state and company contact people etc. I think voting list control is perhaps the key to any fraud scenario.

[BlueDog2u]

71. Ok

Those are good questions. I agree there are plenty of holes, or unanswered questions, about Cybernet Group, although I have a feeling there is a valid connection there also. Just a hunch but Accenture, behemoth that it is, is obviously up to no good here, or shall we agree, that the company is apparently being used, by some, for anti-democratic purposes. So yes, we need to focus in on exactly where one might look for the needles in the haystack.

"So he took dictatorship and suppression of freedoms to his son and they named it the Patriot Act, under the pretence of fighting terrorism. In addition, Bush sanctioned the installing of sons as state governors, and didn't forget to import expertise in election fraud from the region's presidents to Florida to be made use of in moments of difficulty."

98. Wisconsin awarding Voter List Contract to Accenture....UGH!!!

October 23, 2004
Wisconsin officials are currently in negotiations with Accenture to create the state's first list of registered voters.

This project is estimated to cost more than $20,000,000 in its first phase alone. Accenture, the powerful information management company created computer software that allowed Florida officials to keep track of 9 million voters. (HUH?)

Accenture created this new computer software because of the consequences of the 2000 Presidential Election. Accenture will work with state and local clerks to create a system of registering and keeping track of 4 million residents who can legally vote. The list of registered voters has requirements that need to be adhered to to make it a success.

1)the list has to link to information on driver's licenses, death certificates, and other similar instruments. In addition, the list has the daunting task of keeping track of voters from Milwaukee.

Hopefully, the list will fix potential fraud problems that leaders from both political parties fear will happen in the future. The system will catch voters who are registered twice, convicted felons who are not permitted to vote, and voters with two different addresses. Other companies that were in the running for this government contract, Covansys and EDS, are not expected to protest Wisconsin awarding the contract to Accenture.

[Woo]

69. Agreed

The CyberNET connection completely confuses me -- probably because I don't really see a strong connection -- someone said that CyberNET is connected to Mel Sembler... who is alledgedly funneling money to these Bay Point Schools -- I don't know how they're finding the connection with Blass -- then there's some mysterious guy named Guiterrez that builds databases for elections... he once worked for CyberNET -- all in all I haven't seen enough evidence to say if there's something there or not -- I think we're stretching a bit.

Accenture, when dealing with this story is something to look in to though...

NOW --what you have just read is what the logical side of me thinks

The tin foil hat -- conspiracy theorist says:::

There was information posted today talking about money that CyberNET borrowed for some servers -- but the servers have disappeared -- nowhere to be found --

AHA --

Someone wanna take a trip to Bermuda? :)

[BlueDog2u]

72. Someone wanna take a trip to Bermuda?

Sure.

[Carl Brennan]

73. See the original post

Piotr Blass with Cybernet and David Lopez Blass at the Florida kids school. Fisher was not BSing when he said the school was involved in hacking, etc. and the FBI was on it.

Only thing I wonder about, is did Fisher put to much trust in the FBI?

[BlueDog2u]

75. How does your post

establish a connection between Blass and Cybernet Group?

We see the connection to Bay Point. But how do we get to Cybernet? If that connection were really a solid one, then this line of inquiry would be a lot less flaky than it is right now.

[Carl Brennan]

84. Here

I was at first looking at PMing this for private use, but I think its time the public see this.
Interestingly enough, Dr. Piotr Blass is not only significant and real, he has alot of resume background in Michigan state, and otherwise, is connected to a very interesting corporation known as CyberNET Venturs Inc.(which manages all of Cybernets divisions...)
In the allegations report, a certain vendor described that such a network company was financing the operation through Mel Sembler and a few other bad eggs connected to the head of the game map. Another company was described as giving source to certain code.....Turns out CyberN is indeed an open source code distributor to several organizations, ultimately not even limited to voting companies. Also turns out an employee named Guitterez works(or had worked) there and created actual databases for elections across the USA and easily the globe, that are certainly not MS Access.

BTW great research here!

:yourock:

[BlueDog2u]

99. So,

you are saying that because Blass has worked in Michigan, that constitutes a connection with CyberNET, because it is also in Michigan? I'm sorry, but you can't go into court with this.

Also, your link doesn't work.

I'm open to being convinced on this; I just haven't seen any hard evidence yet.

[Unforgiven]

78. Fisher-FBI

...........did Fisher put to much trust in the F.B.I.?

This is what bothers me as well. Did he (Fisher) just tip his hand or can the FBI be trusted?

[Woo]

79. hmmm...

I guess I'm going to have to look through that info again -- I'll take your word for it with Blass -- so he's hooked up with CyberNET eh?--


I don't know much about FBI leadership... but the Bush admin has not really made a lot of friends in the old establishment -- what they're trying to do now is purge that element and put their guys in --so in agencies like the CIA and FBI -- I think the old folks realize how crooked these guys are -- they know that Condi Rice was crap at her job and she allowed 3000 American's to be sent to their death and didn't do a thing to stop it-- and they know Bush sent another 150,000 kids off to look and die for something that didn't exist...

I've got a small amount of faith that we're dealing with the good guys... whatelse can you do?

[BlueDog2u]

83. why would you take anyone's word for something this critical?

I guess I'm going to have to look through that info again -- I'll take your word for it with Blass -- so he's hooked up with CyberNET eh?--

I'm still waiting for an answer myself.

[Woo]

87. All in all

-- whether there's a connection or not ... it's not up to me... --I'm just about as credible as Jeff Fisher at this point ...


So I'm happy to accept that CyberNET is connected to Blass/Sembler(I will go back and look over the information... but it gives me a headache mostly...and makes little sense to me)... I don't think the connection is critical at this point because it doesn't mean anything without knowing why CyberNET was raided... I still maintain going from what I know of CyberNET's business ventures that we're probably stretching.

CyberNet Group Offices Raided
November 19, 2004 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- According to reports, the offices of Web hosting provider The CyberNet Group (cybernet-usa.com) were raided this past Wednesday by agents of five different federal agencies, including the FBI and IRS.

{snip}
The reason for the raid is unclear. However, sources say the investigation involves wire mail fraud and bank fraud.

According to one report, a lawsuit against The CyberNet Group was filed in Kent County Court on Thursday, charging the company with fraud and breach of contract. The suit alleges that The CyberNet Group’s founder and chairman Barton Watson and chief operating officer James Horton are operating a fake company, based in Delaware, to funnel money.

===============
Where to, I wonder?

Cybernet Group are also at http://www.cybernetgroup.com , and are aka CyberCo Holdings. I'm curious about the fact they have three global development centers in mainland China and a regional sales office in Hong Kong. Barton has been a speaker at AAMA -- Asia America MultiTechnology Association. Isn't Neil Bush into China as well, so to speak? Grace Technologies or something, microchip firm? Not proposing a link, I'm sure business interest in China is high. Just struck me.

P.S. Cybernet -- http://www.cybernet.com -- appears to have nothing to do with Cybernet Group.

86. HOLD IT!!!! WAIT ONE COTTON-PICKING MINUTE HERE!

Here is an excerpt from that "Common Dreams" article from Nov. 6th:

---On the CNBC TV show "Topic A With Tina Brown," several months ago, Howard Dean had filled in for Tina Brown as guest host. His guest was Bev Harris, the Seattle grandmother who started www.blackboxvoting.org from her living room. Bev pointed out that regardless of how votes were tabulated (other than hand counts, only done in odd places like small towns in Vermont), the real "counting" is done by computers. Be they Diebold Opti-Scan machines, which read paper ballots filled in by pencil or ink in the voter's hand, or the scanners that read punch cards, or the machines that simply record a touch of the screen, in all cases the final tally is sent to a "central tabulator" machine.---

VERMONT DOES HAND COUNTS. VERMONT IS THE STATE WITH BY FAR THE LARGEST SHIFT TOWARDS JOHN KERRY FROM THE 2000 ELECTION - OVER 10%!

92. Bearing Point & Accenture

Posted on Wed, Jul. 28, 2004


STATE GOVERNMENT


Tech office is taken to task

BY GARY FINEOUT

[e-mail]


TALLAHASSEE - A scathing state audit slams Gov. Jeb Bush's technology office for violating state purchasing laws when it handed out more than $300 million worth of high-tech contracts last year, including work to the same company the state hired to build a controversial central voter database.

Florida chose Accenture and BearingPoint to take over various high-tech duties, including the operation of the state's website. Both companies have high-powered lobbyists with long-standing ties to Bush and the Republican Party of Florida. Accenture has gotten paid nearly $2 million to build a database meant to help weed out dead people and felons from the voting rolls, but the accuracy of the list has come under fire in recent weeks.

A 20-page report from the state's auditor general lists numerous examples of state officials failing to follow rules and laws when it awarded a series of contracts to the two companies. The audit flatly states the state technology office ``could not demonstrate it had ensured fair and open competition for all vendors.''

Auditors looking at the deals say that the technology office never justified the initial bid to vendors, that final evaluation criteria was not consistently applied to all vendors, and that Accenture did not address all the bid requirements.

The audit says that the technology office can't prove the most qualified vendors were awarded contracts. It also states that Accenture and BearingPoint have been given work not even included in the initial bid and that the state can't prove that the privatization effort will yield savings to taxpayers.

BearingPoint: Why Did Its Boss Bug Out?
Business Week Online
By Louis Lavelle
Monday, November 15, 2004 (Originally Published: 11/12/2004)

Warning signs showed up when KPMG Consulting went public four years ago. Its bread-and-butter business -- the integration of big-company computer systems -- was showing signs of a slowdown. But for the company now known as BearingPoint (BE), it wasn't the worst of times, either. In the post-9/11 world, CEO Randolph C. Blazer had managed to build a large and growing business providing technology services for government agencies.

Alas, that government business continues to be one of BearingPoint's few bright spots -- and on Nov. 10, Blazer paid the price. Amid signs of growing board dissatisfaction with his performance, he resigned without explanation, handing the reins temporarily to board member Roderick C. McGeary, 53, while the board seeks a permanent successor.

Repeated efforts to reach Blazer to comment for this story were unsuccessful. McGeary, in a statement, credited Blazer with leading the BearingPoint through a period of growth, referring to its $1 billion purchase of European consultancies in fiscal 2003.

FALLING MARGINS. Why such impatience with Blazer? As the consulting industry crawled through a two-year downturn, BearingPoint has been unable to cut costs or raise prices. High taxes and expensive subcontractors have kept costs up, while increased competition from offshore technology services companies such as Infosys Technologies (INFY) and Tata Consultancy Services has diminished its pricing power.

Result: Operating margins are now hovering at 4.5%, down from a previous five-year average of 7.4%. BearingPoint's stock was off about 11% for the year before Blazer called it quits, a drop steeper than the 4% decrease for the Russell 1000 Technology Index as whole.

After the news broke of his departure, BearingPoint stock jumped 9% on Nov. 11, to close at $9.81. Indeed, the announcement came as a bit of a surprise. Last week, the company reported third-quarter profits of $11.9 million on revenues of $840.9 million, below analyst estimates. But revenues were up 13% year-over-year. BearingPoint said fourth-quarter net income would be 9 cents to 11 cents per share on sales of $850 million to $870 million, guidance it reiterated on Nov. 10.

CENTER OF A STORM. That continued earnings strength is due in large part to BearingPoint's growing public-sector business, which now accounts for 40% of revenues and 55% of gross profit. While revenues from federal, state, and local government agencies declined 8% in the third quarter -- due in large part to the temporary suspension of its work promoting economic reform in post-war Iraq -- analysts say the sector represents one of the few consistently bright spots among BearingPoint's eight lines of business.

But the sector is now at the center of a storm in Florida that some analysts worry may eventually scare away new government clients.

94. Wait a minute!! We're getting our Cybernets confused!

From Gutierrez's CV (1998-2000):

"ODBC Connector for Cybernet Systems Corporation
Developed a bridge between a real-time data collection application and relational databases.

Implemented in C and C++ for the Win32 API."

That is NOT Cybernet Group, the one busted by the FBI, headed by Barton Watson. Gutierrez worked for Cybernet Systems Corp, "founded in 1988 as a research and development company committed to creating robotics technology solutions and advancements to human-machine interaction." This Cybernet is also in Ann Arbor, MI.

Even more important, on further inspection I believe the Gutierrez connection was established in ERROR after someone found this case online: Online Policy Group & Ors -v- Diebold Election Systems. Please note that this order references Cybernet Ventures, the AdultCheck firm...not Gutierrez's employer! And it's only mentioned in a quote from a separate case -- Perfect10, Inc. v. Cybernet Ventures, Inc. Judges use quotes to source law they're basing their decision on.

So unless someone can still link Cybernet Systems Corporation or Gutierrez to Blass, I think we're on the wrong path here.

[Carolab]

95. Ah HA!

That explains when I was searching for Accenture and CyberNET I kept getting links to Accenture and Cybernet (Systems Corporation or Ventures).

[BlueDog2u]

102. Thanks

for the clarification.

I suspected there were some wonky links here. But we should continue to pursue some of these leads. I still think that it may not be a coincidence that the FBI closed in on CyberNET Group so soon after Fisher's complaint surfaced.

[regularjoe]

97. All this stuff is both amazing and confusing at the same time!

I'm going to have to sit down for about 8 hours and find all the links between people and places and cite the sources. I really want to understand but it is such a tangled web. Anyway, if I actually do get a chance to do this I will post my results. Anyone else want to help or split the work, PM me and we can pick starting places.

106. Just Posted at BBV

This is the best critical debunking I've seen of the sometimes sloppy thinking that has gone on regarding this subject.

The thread is here: http://www.blackboxvoting.org/dcforum/DCForumID4122/56.html

The response is to a poster named "auditor" at BBV, by "Space Cowboy":


The "Bay Point Schools, Cal Tech, and the CyberNET connection." thread is pure disinformation. I don't know if "auditors" is an overzealous true-believer, a conspiracy nut, or an agent provocatuer; but you believe his/her posts at the peril of your own credibility.
One of the deadliest traps set by an authority structure, such as a company or government, is disinformation. By that term, I mean the deliberate release of some true information mixed with some false information. Should it picked up, the power structure says, "Look! Lies!"
and the gullible say, "Because the one part is false, all must be false! And because the person or organization that said this is wrong now, they must always be wrong!" Thus, no matter how true or carefully verified anything ever again said by that person or group about the power structure, it is dismissed out of hand.
The lesson to be learned is to not engage in _any_ speculation - believe only provable facts.
Two of "auditors" posts, messages 21 and 55, are pretty much copy pasting of text from the links he/she cites. My purpose is to refute what "auditors" says, not what "auditors" quotes other people as saying.
Herein is a point by point refutation of the thread. Fact check my counter-claims. Don't assume that I or any information I offer is any more trustworthy than the person(s) or information I am discrediting.


******
Claim 1: "You might be very interested to know that Dr. Blass, is connected to a largescale corporation in Michigan state known as Cybernet Ventures Inc. (Engineering, medical, all other divisions include) and that this very company had a funny little tie in with Diebold."

Claim 10: "Also there's lots more information on CyberNET too when you dig into it deeper. They created some software called "SourcePlus" control most information systems/websites and other equipment ChoicePoint has for the offices, worked on election databases through the 90s and so on."

Proof offered: None

Truth: http://ww1.prweb.com/releases/2001/10/prweb29346.php SourcePlus is a marketing scheme in which a company that buys a hardware/software bundle from CyberNET Group also gets free tech support for the bundle. It is not "software". It does not and cannot "control most information systems/websites."
Nothing on any CyberNET Group page indicates ChoicePoint is a customer. Nothing on the ChoicePoint website indicates they are a customer. Nothing through google.com indicates they ever did business together. Likewise, nothing on CyberNET Group's website or via google.com indicates CyberNET Group has had anything to do with election databases in the 90s or _ever_.

Claim 11: "Guitterez people (his family) are on the official committees, other election boards, these guys are connected to NASED and even Sequoia owns part of CyberNet...This is all hooked into Linux, the rivals use both Linux and Windows NT Plus: The actual source code they sold off like crazy is called SourcePlus(NetMAX) and is used in nearly every single thing to do with elections there is....."

Proof offered: None

Truth: This is a little complicated so bear with me. Apparently, the "Guitterez people (his family)" refers to Alan Guitterez, the software engineer discussed under Claim 4. Short of asking Mr. Guitterez about his family, I see no way to prove or refute this claim.
At this point "auditors" again confuses CyberNET Group with CyberNet Systems and Sequoia Voting Systems with Sequoia Captial Partners when saying "Sequoia owns part of CyberNet." This isn't true. I'll come back to this in a moment.
SourcePlus(NetMAX), "actual source code they sold off like crazy," is two different products sold by two different companies. As shown under Claim 10, SourcePlus isn't software. NetMAX is a product of CyberNet Systems: http://www.netmax.com/. NetMAX products are based on the Linux 2.4.9 kernel and derived from RedHat 7.2. They are typical server/vpn/firewall applications - not voting system related at all.

I have not refuted every assertion by "auditors." This does not mean I consider those statements to be factual, only that this is getting tedious. Also, this person has made some claims so baseless and offered proof so irrrelevant that contradicting them is a waste of time. I refer to messages 34, 36, 52, and 55 in particular. If I were Alan Guitterez, I would consider suing "auditors."
I don't know "auditors" motivation in making these posts, but anyone believing them needs to increase their medication dosage.

116. When sleuthing, don't throw baby out with bathwater

I don't believe it is fair to dismiss, at this point in the game, all unproven theories and potential clues as fodder for the gullible and unscientific, and a distraction from the task at hand, as some come to define it.

It is part of the information gathering process to search for possible clues in disparate areas. Clue gathering has to be done without bias or assumption, and we do need to keep that in mind. But we also should consider all potential clues, then sift the wheat from the chaff as apparent connections and theories begin to emerge. This is the way good investigation works, I believe, or it as least ONE method of good investigation.

It is difficult to know who and what we are dealing with, and hard to tell what is relevant or irrelevant at this point. But sometimes, what seems to be irrelevant and insignificant in the beginning ends up being the opposite in the end.

So until I see concrete proof of connections or lack of connections, I will keep an open (though confused) mind.

Great job of tracking this down.

110. space cowboy

makes some really good points. I haven't been able to understand the link with Cybernet-USA and thought maybe I missed it, but it was the fact that Cybernet got raided by the FBI that made me start looking at this closer because it seemed to lend some legitimacy to the story. The Guitterez information is also difficult to assimilate. Since we have so many people online looking into things there doesn't seem to be any real downside to continuing to check out this story so long as nobody tramples on other people's rights. Facts, not speculation are, as usual the important thing.

[BlueDog2u]

111. I agree

"the fact that Cybernet got raided by the FBI that made me start looking at this closer because it seemed to lend some legitimacy to the story"

The point of my posting was not to throw cold water on this line of pursuit. It was to make sure that we don't go flying off the handle making unfounded supposition after supposition.

The raid on Cybernet Group is definitely an interesting and probably very significant fact. Go Team!

[Woo]

126. An addendum...

I think the main problem with all this information flying around is people addressing speculation as fact --

Such as: You might be interested to know that CyberNET...

Automatically I might give weight to a statement like this --

Anyway -- I do think I read correctly regarding CyberNET now -- I don't think I've been spreading disinformation... especially since I don't understand it fully myself -- What I do understand is the actual crime itself seems to be unfolding in a way very similar to what Mr Fisher describes... which is why I say the story definitely holds water -- the who and why have yet to be present itself as concretely as the evidence of fraud.

[BlueDog2u]

112. Did you take a screenshot?

Cause all I get is a missing graphic.

Did it disappear that fast, or is there a problem with the link?

From now on, people, we should screenshoot everything! Stuff maybe disappearing as fast as we hook to it.

[jdog]

113. So, can someone explain to me, what IS

the connection with Cybernet?

[BlueDog2u]

114. Missing graphics on Michigan state website

This link should take you to the page which lists all the Michigan corporations which have cybernet or cybernetics in the name. Search under Company name "Cybernetics" and you'll see about twenty or thirty listings. If you then click on those and follow the links to "images" you will see that very many of these images (I tried about four and got the same result each time) are broken links.

That makes me wonder if in fact many of these companies are spinoffs of the same parent corp., and if the FBI or someone else has already removed the critical information.

Comments, anyone?

115. Reality Check

I tried searching for the graphic documents of other corps on the site, and for some reason *none* of them seem to work. It seems odd that a State website would be that screwed up, but anyway that's the story....for what its worth.

[BlueDog2u]

117. email of inquiry sent to Michigan State Department of Labor

And Economic Growth...

Dear Sir or Madam,

I have been attempting to do some research on Michigan corporations on your site this weekend and noticed that all of the links to visuals of corporate documents are apparently inoperable. At first I thought that only selected documents were missing, but on further investigation see that a wide sampling, and perhaps all, of these are not available. I wonder if you would be kind enough to clarify the reason for this problem and let me know if and when these resources will once again be available for public inspection.

Thanks,

[spoogly]

121. I am not having any problem accessing the documents

they are in .tif format.

Very common that a company would be incorporated in Delaware. Then registered to do business in the State of Michigan. A little odd that they are incorporated in Delaware under AsiaPacific name and registered to do business under another name. But that is not really that uncommon either; as long as the actual company name is indicated on the Michigan business registration; which it is on the form I am looking at.

There are a ton of CyberNet companies out there. Many just in Michigan. I just wanted to be sure we are talking about the right one. Some of them could have connection to the primary one. That would need to be researched. could be joint venture companies etc.

The one I am looking at is signed by Barton H. Watson, III

[BlueDog2u]

122. aha!

Why doesn't my computer see tiffs?

[eowyn_of_rohan]

120. They worked for me

If you are talking about, eg.,"CYBERNET GROUP INTERNATIONAL, INC.",click on it and it takes you to "APPLICATION FOR CERTIFICATE OF AUTHORITY 9/13/2001", with a camera symbol at the left. If I click that I get the image. Is that what you mean?

[BlueDog2u]

123. Yes

All I get is a broken link image. But thank you for clarifying the problem.

[BlackVelvet04]

127. How do you do a screenshot?

I'm either doing it wrong or there's something wrong with my computer.

[BlueDog2u]

129. Good question

Can someone else explain? But also not that this appears to be a false alarm. Apologies. But if someone can give a screenshot tutorial that would be great.

[neohippie]

133. how to take a screenshot

If you have an IBM PC type of computer, then it is relatively simple.

1. display what you want to capture on your screen
2. press the print screen button on your keyboard
3. open a program like microsoft word or wordpad
4. hold the control key and the v key at the same time or you can choose edit and paste from the menu

5. you should now have an image pasted into which ever rich text editor you used

118. DELAWARE connection--both AnnArbor and Grand Rapids Cybernets

...thought this was big at first, but I have learned the state of Delaware offers relatively easy and inexpensive set up for corporations

[BlueDog2u]

119. Right

Delaware is the Bermuda of the Continental USA. So, actually its not insignificant. My research indicated that the corp now known as Cybernet Group originated in Utah in 1985 under another name. The Cybernet name comes from a subsequent merger/buyout with a German company by that name.

To me the Utah connection is interesting because it suggests a possible Mormon influence. That the company is now big into porn actually makes sense in that regard if you think about capitalism and religion...

[spoogly]

124. I suppose there could be a connection there

but the company I am looking at has papers signed by Barton Watson. III. I saw the Utah company. It looked to me to not be related. But I didn't really dig into too far.

[BlueDog2u]

128. There still seems to be a confusion about which of these

entitites is which. Here is my post from another thread which gives the best official records on the possible players. This shows that CIS, the company which lists Barton Watson as resident agent, originated in Utah (I got that part right), but also suggests that this is not the same as the company raided by the FBI (we both may have been confused about this):

CYBERNET INTERNET SERVICES INTERNATIONAL INC (0001070658)


This is the US Securities and exchange commission # for "Cybernet Internet Services." Don't know if that helps because I'm not sure what we're looking for....

Here is a bit on how "New Century Technologies Corporation" became CyberNET-- namely, while still in Utah, they acquired the German company named CyberNET. So, although it is listed legally as a foreign profit corporation in the Michigan State records, it obtained this status through acquisition and merger in 1997:

News Release

New Century Technologies


NEW CENTURY TECHNOLOGIES SIGNS LETTER OF INTENT FOR THE ACQUISITION OF CYBERNET AG


Salt Lake City, Utah, April 17 - New Century Technologies Corp. ("The Company") is pleased to announce that it has signed a letter of intent for the acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding stock of CYBERNET AG, a private German corporation ("CYBERNET") which is a leading business Internet provider headquartered in Munich, Germany.

Note that the FBI raided Cybernet Group in Grand Rapids. Why do you connect this with Barton Watson who is in Mountain Ridge? I'm not denying a connection -- just asking where you find it....

Never mind. I answered my own question: http://fox17.trb.com/news/111804-wxmi-cybernet,0,956334.story


But, here is the really great thing. These companies are in fact the same, I'm pretty sure!

137. 'WANNA SEE SOMETHING SCARY'

OK the disclaimer -- because this is the Conspiracy theories of ALL Conspiracy Theories -- PLEASE DON'T GO PASSING THIS AROUND as fact.

I was reading through this thread and something someone said struck me -- so I went a'lookin on the internet(s).

Using all the information gleaned from just reading this thread and some quick internet checks(sorry, I'm not going to source anything because1) this is speculation and 2) I'm a lazy researcher --
Here's the scenario I have come up with --



1) We know something went wrong in the elections November 2nd and it has nothing to do with moral values.

2) We also know that in the last four years this country has invaded two countries that did not attack us

So look what's that mean -- Under Bush... the U.S. will have authority over/control three 'democratic' elections -- One being the most powerful country in the world --


So the elections:

Two have already take place: U.S. and Afghanistan
The other will happen in January: Iraq

Now in Afghanistan they don't have much oil -- so it wouldn't really make sense as to why the US would have an interest in it -- with the exception that Unocal(a US based company) had been trying to put an oil pipeline through Afghanistan -- well it wasn't exactly working out(aww!) -- But then September 11th came ... Osama Bin Laden so on so forth -- we were forced to attack the evildoers... Afghanistan was toast -- the US inserted the exiled King who by the way was elected in September and that pipeline is now going full steam ahead -- now, what country is this pipeline coming from -- A little known former piece of Russia called Turkmenistan which is rich in oil...

And who are the companies trying to run this pipeline? Unocal and Delta Oil(a company with Saudi interest) -- now ahem, who provides services and products to these two companies -- a little known company called Halliburton.

So also in this thread -- an article mentions Accenture -- a company that provides voting solution services to countries all over the world including the US... and more specifically Florida -- Oh... and it's an interesting tid bit to see that for some odd reason the Saudi's invested in this company... hmmm, now why would they be interested in an accounting firm?

My challenge when you're not working with the problem at hand, which is proving voting fraud in our own election is to find out what hand Accenture/Halliburton played in the Afghanistan elections and the upcoming Iraq Elections?

If I am to believe my own ramblings... I would have to ask myself some tough questions...

September 11th -- almost all the hijacker's were Saudi, why?
Osama Bin Laden why can't they catch a 6'5" Arab with kidney failure?
What's the rush with the Iraq elections -- why must they take place in January --they're going to happen no matter what?

Why is Iran... a country that separates Afghanistan and Iraq trying to feverishly enrich uranium so they might build a nuclear weapon... are they evildoers or do they see something coming that we don't see?

Lastly...
Are Bush and the Saudi's trying to corner the world's oil market?


No matter what happens -- or what is true -- we have to stop this now, I think it's that important.

[BlueDog2u]

138. Woo

I think you've got the big picture pretty well covered in your post. The involvement of these companies in international elections technology is a shocking development for me.

Lastly...
Are Bush and the Saudi's trying to corner the world's oil market?

Of course. And even before I learned about the possible insider trading scam involvement in 9-11 --see the thread in editorials for details - I wondered why in the hell Bush pushed so hard to go after Iraq and ignored the Saudia Arabia connection which was so obvious and let Bin Ladin live to taunt the US before our elections...o, I guess that helped Bush, didn't it? Turns out, of course, that both the Saudis and the Pakistan intelligence services, which collaborated in the murder of Daniel Pearl before deciding to execute his killers for knowing too much, were into 9-11 up to their eyeballs. And Michael Moore has proven that Bush's family ties to the Bin Ladin's in particular go way back, so we are seeing a kind of multinational consolidation of dynastic thuggery on several continents.

what hand Accenture/Halliburton played in the Afghanistan elections and the upcoming Iraq Elections?

Good question for investigation.

[kk897]

156. don't forget the poppies

Afghanistan may not have a lot of oil, but it has most of the world's opium poppies. It's the number one producer, actually.

BFEE, way a long long time ago made lots of money in the opium trade, as did many of the 19th century robber barons. I happen to think that the connection to poppies continue to this day, if only through shell corporations. Or to keep the masses narcotized.

Why do you think Bush the father is called "Poppy," anyway?

(it's a pet theory of mine, but I can supply lots of fuel for the fire if anyone's interested)

148. Wow.....This is a good find, and worth looking into further!- nt

[Carl Brennan]

150. Way to tie that in sld. Bush's Uncle Jonathan is chief officer at Riggs.

This bank was also where Princess Haifa, wife of Bush crony Prince Bandar, sent checks to two of the 9/11 terrorists.


http://www.opednews.com/duncan_bush_should_cry_uncle_and_releas.htm
........One of the other characters involved in this story was Omar al-Bayoumi, supposedly just a simple Saudi student studying in the US. The report has some interesting things to say about this simple student though,

"Despite the fact that he was a student, al-Bayoumi had access to seemingly unlimited funding from Saudi Arabia. For example, an FBI source identified al-Bayoumi as the person who delivered $400,000 from Saudi Arabia for the Kurdish mosque in San Diego. One of the FBI's best sources in San Diego informed the FBI that he thought that al-Bayoumi must be an intelligence officer for Saudi Arabia or another foreign power."


Turns out that some of the money al-Bayoumi received was from Princess Haifa Al-Faisal, wife of the Saudi Ambassador Bandar Bin Sultan, and daughter of the late King Faisal. The money then ended up in the hands of Khalid al-Mihdhar and Nawaf al-Hazmi for monthly living expenses while they rented rooms in the home of the FBI informant.

The checks from Princess Haifa were drawn on Riggs Bank in Washington D.C. One of the chief officers of Riggs Bank is Jonathan Bush, an uncle of President George W. Bush...........


So it appears to me, that the redaction of the Saudi information from the 9-11 Report had more to do with covering the President's own ass from the embarrassing fact that his own uncle was part of the Saudi money trail that enabled two of the hijackers to crash a plane into the Pentagon, and very little to do with jeopardizing our national security at all.

175. Woo mentioned Bin Laden and 9/11

...Now in Afghanistan they don't have much oil -- so it wouldn't really make sense as to why the US would have an interest in it -- with the exception that Unocal(a US based company) had been trying to put an oil pipeline through Afghanistan -- well it wasn't exactly working out(aww!) -- But then September 11th came ...

Afghanistan was toast -- the US inserted the exiled King who by the way was elected in September and that pipeline is now going full steam ahead -- now, what country is this pipeline coming from -- A little known former piece of Russia called Turkmenistan which is rich in oil...

The Riggs Bank link to both Bushies and terrorists via Bandar and wife makes the suspicions that many have, including myself, stronger that 9/11 was just too damn coincidental and solved alot of Bush's imperial aspirations. 9/11 was the "Perle Harbor" like attack that the PNAC whackos said would be needed to justify all the shit Bush wanted to do. I would argue that 9/11 HAD to happen for Bush to survive politically. Bush had to use terror and war because he has nothing else.

I think 9/11 is an inside job and that the organizations used to make this happen includes banks--laundered money, charities, flight schools in Florida, etc. Another aspect that brings the Saudis into it is that they and the Bushies depend on oil being the energy resource of the future. That will be much easier to accomplish if they control the supply as much as possible. But Iraq is a disaster.

But, curiously, once you access the article, it doesn't mention Accenture or Afghanistan, but details plans for internet voting schemes for the military without any mention of Accenture. I tried to access the source but could not.


It is a Nov. 21 article from Houston which quotes Michael Alverez from Caltech, who is gungho about internet voting:

"The odds of this flopping are very remote," said Michael Alvarez, co-director of the CalTech-MIT/Voting Technology Project and principal investigator of the Defense Department's contract to produce SERVE.

"SERVE has gone really far to making an amazingly sophisticated and secure architecture – the most sophisticated system I've seen," Alvarez said.

But critics say the system fails in its overarching reliance on the Internet, which they contend exposes elections to hackers, cyberterrorists, power outages, downed telephone lines, computer viruses and software bugs.

[Garbo 2004]

151. Just an aside from the main conversation, the lessons Iran and

other nations appear to have taken from the US's actions are that foreign invasions appear less likely if a nation can defend itself with nuclear weapons. North Korea has a strong military and suspected nuclear capability. Other nations observe that consequently it appears less likely to be a target for invasion.

Not that nations would not otherwise seek nuclear weapons, but it could be argued that US agression might in effect further encourage such efforts.

As for the oil, I figured the Bush Administration thought it could have a friendly gov't in place in Iraq and then have favored access if not indeed control of another major source of oil, thus having some measure of leverage against the Saudis. As well as perhaps other nations relying on oil imports, especially those in the region who got their oil from Iraq.

I don't know what to make of this. I haven't followed it any further than this article.

In a series of articles originating at the Bush-friendly Media Research Center and its news reporting subdivision, Cybernet News Service or CNSNews.com, senior staff writer Jeff Johnson has exposed yet another dimension of TSA tyranny. In his article, “Thousands of Pilots Won’t Fly Armed Armed, Blame TSA,” Johnson offers in his January 15th piece, “The federal agency charged with providing security for U.S. airlines, and the airlines themselves are intentionally sabotaging the congressionally-mandated program to train and certify pilots who volunteer to carry guns in the cockpit, according to supporters of the program who claim tens of thousands of pilots have opted out as a result.”

Last week I interviewed Mr. Blass for about an hour. He is originally from Poland, and he just filed to run for Governor of Florida in the next election. He ran for Florida Congress in the Nov 2 election and got 7000 votes as a write in candidate. He says that the Fla results are erroneous but his proof is that he got 7000 votes but the Fla Election results only showing write in votes in the hundreds. He says that his son has nothing at all to do with hacking or the election. His son is 15 years old, and was 11 years only during the 2000 election. Supposedly, his son was committed for calling up Jeb Bush's office and threatening to put Jeb in jail. Blass says that Jeff Fisher is not credible and that there is nothing at all to the story about kids a Bay Point hacking into election computers -- in fact, he said that the computer set up at Bay Point is unsophisticated. He makes a valid point by noting that no President would risk exposure by having a bunch of emotionally disturbed juvenile kids do his dirty work. Blass believes that Fisher is only trying to raise his profile and additional funds for his operation. He calls him a "con man." Blass comes off as very credible, honest, and open. He does not appear to be hiding or deflecting. He seems to be an idealist. raipoli

170. Article from GRFP...FINANCIAL FRAUD NOT ELECTORAL FRAUD!!!!!!!!!

GRAND RAPIDS -- A day after the seizure of equipment and records from a high-tech company, a lender accused Cyberco Holdings Inc. of fraud in a lawsuit involving a $3 million deal to acquire dozens of computer servers.

Kent County Circuit Judge Dennis Leiber signed an order allowing a Cyberco creditor to study the company's books and hunt around the downtown headquarters for servers and other assets.

Charter One Vendor Finance said it has a financial agreement that allowed Cyberco to acquire 66 servers. But Charter One could find only 25 during a Sept. 29 visit to offices in the Heartside neighborhood, according to a civil suit filed Thursday.

"It is without question that Cyberco is ... perpetrating a scheme to defraud Charter One and likely other creditors," the Illinois-based lender said.

Cyberco does business as CyberNET Engineering and CyberNET Group. It sells high-tech services, including data storage and computer security.
Separately, on Wednesday, federal agents armed with a search warrant swarmed the offices at 25 S. Division Ave. and seized records as part of a fraud investigation. The Ada home of Cyberco executives Barton Watson and wife Krista Kotlarz-Watson also was searched.

Barton Watson, 44, has a rocky past. In Washington, D.C., he was accused of fleecing investors out of $230,000. He agreed to a plea deal in 1987 and was sentenced to one year to three years in federal prison.

"I have a lot of regret over what happened," Watson told a judge at the time, "not just because I stole a great deal of money from a number of people but particularly in that I abused their trust and friendship."

In 1994, Watson admitted using a phony tax return to get an $80,000 bank loan to buy a yacht two years earlier. He was sued by the government and agreed to pay a $5,000 fine.

In its lawsuit, Charter One accuses Watson of the "same pattern of behavior" in the deal to acquire computer servers
A server is a piece of high-tech hardware, acting as the data center for a network of computers. Charter One wanted to confirm that Cyberco actually had the 66 servers because they were collateral for the $3 million financing.

Charter One claims Cyberco used phony financial statements and tax returns when it sought financing for the equipment.

In an affidavit attached to the lawsuit, Grand Rapids-area accountant Guy Hiestand said his signature was forged on a letter about the company's finances for 2002 and 2003. He said he didn't work on the audit.

A check of state records also showed Cyberco has pledged more than 100 servers as collateral to more than one lender, based on a check of serial numbers, Charter One attorneys said.

The Watsons could not be reached for comment. Cyberco's Boston-based attorney, John Harding, was informed before the suit was was filed.

On Nov. 1, Charter One sent three high-tech consultants to Cyberco offices for an inspection that lasted just 40 minutes.
"The data center was ... a sloppy, disorganized, high-risk environment," Linda Connor, of Technology Professionals Corp., said in an affidavit.

In an interview, Barton Watson's former executive assistant said working for him was chaotic.

Elaine VanSuilichem said she watched as Watson dodged bill collectors and used a deck of credit cards to take lavish vacations, buy handmade clothes and order his favorite sausages from New York.

"I don't know how he stayed afloat," she said. "I would have to call people and say the check will be sent out tomorrow or we're not paying because there was something he didn't like about the service. He never paid anything."

174. Apparently the CyberNet raid was for bank and wire mail fraud

CyberNet Group Offices Raided
November 19, 2004 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- According to reports, the offices of Web hosting provider The CyberNet Group (cybernet-usa.com) were raided this past Wednesday by agents of five different federal agencies, including the FBI and IRS.

The raid took place at The CyberNet Group’s offices located at 25 South Division Avenue in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Federal agents reportedly seized computers and other equipment and were back on the premises Thursday.

The reason for the raid is unclear. However, sources say the investigation involves wire mail fraud and bank fraud.

According to one report, a lawsuit against The CyberNet Group was filed in Kent County Court on Thursday, charging the company with fraud and breach of contract. The suit alleges that The CyberNet Group’s founder and chairman Barton Watson and chief operating officer James Horton are operating a fake company, based in Delaware, to funnel money.

According to another report, Watson was convicted of fraud in the early 1980s. The company also previously made an out of court settlement with Hastings Public Schools after a former employee blew the whistle on improper computer sales The CyberNet Group made to Hastings Public Schools.

Lawyers for Watson and Horton have declined comment.

Employees of The CyberNet Group, sent home on Wednesday, were reportedly back at work on Friday morning.

180. Can somebody explain this CLEARLY?

CyberNET GRoup was the one raided in Michigan. Ok.

CyberNEt Ventures is the porn group.

CyberNet Systems is the software development group.

NOW, WHICH ONE IS AFFILIATED WITH THE SEMBLER GROUP - THE STRAIGHTS, OR DRUG FREE AMERICA?

AND WHICH ONE IS being alleged by Fisher in the hacking allegation?

Are there any connections between any of these? I am getting more confused.

Jesus, what a way to set up a mess. Just put CyberNet in the name and you're home free!

176. PLEASE SHUT THIS THREAD DOWN - FALSE FACTS

This whole thing is like a worm.

[Carolab]

177. Thanks for clearing that up.

Now that we know CyberNet Group is the company in question we can ignore the info about CyberNET and Cybernet Systems Corporation.

However, we can still place validity on the information about Accenture, etc., and that is valuable.

[Carl Brennan]

179. Great idea if you want to shut down

the spirit of inquiry at DU. The purpose of these topics is to explore and refine our knowledge not just of the facts but of the process of investigating. You seem to have missed that in your brusque approach here and at other topics. This will chill people from looking into these matters if they are concerned about other members acting in such a heavy handed manner.

184. and this from j2inMiNov

j2inMiNov 19 2004, 11:01 PM
Heres some more information on the CyberNet Group from a local perspective. This borders on tin foil hat thinking, but its relevant to keep in the back of your mind. Please read down a few paragraphs, I have inserted some notes into the article.

http://www.woodtv.com/Global/story.asp?S=2...03&nav=0RceTEfz
Employees return to work at The CyberNET Group after federal raid

24 Hour News 8 has uncovered some more information about a raid involving five agencies at The CyberNET Group building on South Division Avenue in Grand Rapids Wednesday morning.

The federal agents brought in truckloads of equipment and seized all electronic data including computers and financial information connected to the company.

The CyberNET Group hosts Internet Web sites for companies and holds electronic data for them. The company is based in Grand Rapids with 120 employees, and about 1,000 worldwide in Chicago, Las Vegas, the United Kingdom, Philippines, Australia, Hong Kong and China.

Some of the companies clients include DeVos Place and the Van Andel Arena, whose Web sites were down Wednesday during the raid .
(pause article)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm going to stop right there and point out a couple of things you may or may not know about the two names DeVos and VanAndel. These names are the founders of the Amway corporation and have considerable influence on the city of Grand Rapids. They are in the top 300 richest people on the planet, I think.

Whats even more important here is Betsy DeVos is the chair of the Michigan GOP, and she is actually stepping down - very likely to run against Dem Governor Jennifer Granholm in 2006 or Dem Senator Debbie Stabenow. If I may say so, she is a nasty ruthless bitch sure to make any GOP member proud.

Moreover, Mama Betty Van Andel was a philanthropist, but very active in GOP politics AND promoting a Christian Right Agenda. She died early this year. They actually funded the Van Andel Creation Research Center and several cultural, research, and evangelical Christian Organizations. They own most of downtown Grand Rapids, especially most of the cultural, museums, and convention centers. They are very likely CyberNets biggest customers and could easily get this sleazeball company involved in a scandal like this. I have no doubt. (Note, they had the money to purchase another failing company a few days ago.)

Now keep on your Tin Foil Hat - there's your tie in to the GOP from another angle.
You have lots of money, motive, and scandal. The irony of this is a Christian GOP organization somehow funding the theft of Americas votes. I still cannot believe this could happen.

Read on if you wish.

188. Former Federal Auditor Turned Whistleblower and FBI Witness Speaks

According to www.merchantsofdeception.com, these political ties, involving huge political contributions and large speaking fees for prominent Republican leaders (including former Presidents), have resulted in a massive $280 million tax break for the Amway Corporation, the largest multi-level marketing company (MLM), as well as immunity for Amway and companies of this type from investigations of possible violations of anti-pyramid scheme statutes. The "business" has brought in well in excess of $20 billion to date.

www.merchantsofdeception.com is published by Eric Scheibeler, a former federal auditor and later a ranking Amway insider who turned whistleblower and FBI witness. Scheibeler was instrumental in providing key documentation to "Dateline NBC" in its May 7, 2004, hidden camera exposé of Amway/Quixtar's "secret" pyramid business run by Amway/Quixtar "kingpins." "Dateline NBC" reported that the FBI and the IRS are conducting investigations based partly on information disclosed in the report.

A life-long conservative, Scheibeler details GOP donations and corporate promotion that have allegedly resulted in political protection and benefits for the MLM industry. An audiotape of former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich promoting Amway at a large Amway meeting is included on the site. The site details public speaking fees to Gingrich in the $50,000 range. Gingrich arranged a reported last-minute modification in a comprehensive tax bill that allegedly provided a $283 million tax break to just one company -- Amway. Also on the site are audio clips of then Texas governor George W. Bush and one sent by high-level kingpin distributors from a private meeting within the White House.

"The GOP seems to have been hijacked by political payoffs from an industry that is rife with consumer deception, and bogus 'business opportunity' selling," Scheibeler stated. "Whether you are a Democrat or Republican, we can agree it is time this secret influence peddling and the harm it causes consumers and our democracy are revealed. I was on the inside. I saw it with my own eyes. I also have the documents, financials, and the audio and video tapes to prove it."

The site also calls to task the Federal Trade Commission -- currently chaired by Bush administration appointee Timothy Muris, whose law firm represented Amway -- for its alleged failure to investigate or prosecute pyramid sales schemes, despite multiple well-documented complaints.

Multimillionaires funding expensive pro-Bush 527 ads
By Geoff Earle

A billionaire, a professional sports magnate, a Texas oilman and the founders of Amway are funding the most expensive ad buy of the presidential campaign.

The $14 million ad, which began airing in key markets this month, shows President Bush hugging a teenage girl whose mother died in the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. The ad was paid for by the Progress for America Voter Fund, a 527 group that has run TV ads for Bush and against Sen. John Kerry.

185. Here we go again.....

You will find a number of posts, almost word-for word what was posted and brought about the heated debate/dissention/threadlocking at BBV. Draw your own conclusions, of course, but I believe that it's really the same 'stuff', in many cases, I suspect, by the same person.

No foul intended on anyone - just one guy's opinion.

186. Activisms is Auditors, even a sponge can figure that out

Same crap, but it looks like people there are still chasing the geese.

[Carolab]

187. What is your PROBLEM?

We are trying to research something. Is that okay with you?

[AnIndependentTexan]

189. or that he means well but he has a problem of jumping to conclusions

It actually took that posting to see what was happening with him. You can tell he means well, but he doesn't take a step back from reality. That is also why I took a step back to re-think things as well. Some of the stuff he has found did help at first, but he started to assume to much. When I posted here at Democratic Underground it was because I was getting to the point were parts of me don't trust him.

I still won't assume that Auditors is Activisms, but I do believe Activisms is part of why Jeff Fisher believes what he has. I'm not going to assume anything and I won't start name calling. I think the only problem Activisms has is he allowed his passion to blind his logic. It is the same reason Bozos for Bush not to get angry or outage at anyone here who has been looking into it.

Most of us all need to step away and take a break. Because I've been researching a lot of stuff as well I even found myself looking into it because the links are easy to make. It isn't people trying to mislead it is just people overworking themselves trying to figure out what is true and what isn't. We are all on the edge and we are all trying to do our little parts to help.

[BlueDog2u]

191. Hang in there, Indie

Take all the breaks you need and, yes, take Activisms with a grain of salt. Or two...or three...or...you get my point.

[AnIndependentTexan]

216. I'm not going to trust Activisms on stuff.

without checking that out myself. I learned the hard way on that. It's the same for anyone here I know we have to be careful of everything. The only thing is before completely assuming I rather question Actvisms peaceful about it. I seriously don't believe anyone of us meant to mislead. I just think no matter what we are all receiving so much information it is easy for anyone of us to have it happen. I'm trying to remember which person here said it best about us all being under stress. It's the same as being on the edge. If it was reversed and the same thing happen to you or anyone else. I would at least give them the benefit of the debt and listen to their side. I just don't think blame can be there cause it could have been anyone of us.

I believe you might simply be a misguided or gullible young man, who somehow became online friends with the wrong person. Although you have clearly posted a lot of bad info, I discovered tonight that you have also posted warnings a few times about "the research."

As I mentioned in the post at the bottom of this thread, perhaps you need someone to teach you how to research properly.

In the meantime, feel free to dig for some good dirt on various people and organizations in the "roadmap from hell" that I have provided a link to.

The sooner we can prove that all these people and companies are working together to take over this country, the sooner we can, hopefully, turn things around.

You assume to much about people. That is one of the problems right now. We've all been on edge. You just said a little while ago Activisms is Auditors. Also remember I've already said many times that I've been posting at commongroundscommonsense. I've even told what I post under. But again you are still assuming.

You forget with passion comes the ability to be pulled in by information. It is very easy to make mistakes. When you said Activisms was me you will notice that I have already asked a question there if Activisms is Auditors. I've admitted many times already that I made a mistake in asking the question here. It wasn't to mislead but to ask a honest question. The problem is you are doing right now what you are warning us not to do with CyberNet Group. You are making a connection without knowing facts just because you believe something. You've allowed your own fear to turn into rage and leash out at anyone. In other words you've become your own Auditors on this forum.

First I am JasonATexan. I believe I mentioned that in another post. I believe I also mention that I was taking a break from over there. I've never lied about who I am. I've even told Skinner if he needs proof of who I am he is more then welcome to the proof. You're over reacting about everything.

I've also been talking to George in email because I was willing to listen to what ever advise he has. I'm also willing to listen to what he needs my help in. I've even told you that I'm willing to be friends and listen to your view point, but you seem to not want to be friends. I've learned from being here that you can not assume anything. You can only ask people advise and sometimes you need to take a break every now and then. I ask you are you willing to take a break and for one respect other people or are you only here to leash out at others. I'm willing to listen but you have to make a effort to listen as well.

208. well for starters

They brought another Cybernet-named company into the mix.

Secondly, their links don't prove anything - here, try this one for example - http://www.cis.state.mi.us/bcs_corp/sr_corp.asp

Follow their instructions.

BTW this crap has already been debunked over and over at BBV.

Did you go there and look?

[AnIndependentTexan]

209. Well it is kind of hard when you never go to BBV to know what has or has

not been debunk. It isn't like we all know about everything. We are just learning the same way others learn. You are acting like nobody should question anything because they might make a mistake. We are only human all of us. I get all of my information from Democratic Underground and the commonsense forum. I'm not a expert, but at least I'm willing to learn and respect others.

[BlueDog2u]

220. Wow

Bozos, for someone who gets up in arms over disinformation, you seem to have a pretty short memory and a fast and loose keyboard. Remember me? Yes, that's right, I'm the person who posted Cowboy's debunking of Auditor to these boards only yesterday. And today you are accusing me of not knowing what transpired on BBV? Puleeze. Take some tranquilizers.

Tried your experiment and I got the same results as indicated in the post you "debunked." Neither one of those numbers comes up on the Michigan website. What does that mean? Unlike Activisms I make no pretense to knowing. I don't even know what those numbers are supposed to represent. But since you are the one doing the "debunking" here, let's just say you aren't doing a very good job. At this point you've basically called attention to something that apparently even Activisms got right, or partially right. Also I notice that you are still calling to "shut down" threads because you claim that people are mistaken about this, that, or the other thing. You really ought to chill out, dude.

[Bozos for Bush]

221. LOL here we go again

You put in both numbers, neither came back with anything, and you can't figure out what that means?

Sorry dude, I can't help you.

And as far as remembering who posted what regarding Cowboy, perhaps I'm too busy trying to put a stop to all this false information at three websites, plus continuing real research, plus I do eat and sleep perhaps two hours, etc.

And btw posting that someone else debunked something is not nearly the same as debunking it yourself. So stand up like a man, and debunk this stuff - then I'll remember who you are, and what you post.

[BlueDog2u]

222. You have a closed mind

And you are a terrible communicator.

[AnIndependentTexan]

206. I believe we all are a passionated group

The problem is our own passion can lead us to make mistakes. Let's take Dan Rathers. We might have helped him make that mistake without knowing it. Yet he made a mistake and we all believed in what Dan Rathers said. Most of us here at Democratic Underground were trying to prove he was right. Does that mean Dan Rathers was leading us onto a wild goose chase?

No, it just means he felt strongly about something. It also means his passion lead him into believing what he wanted to. That is the dangerous thing about being passionate. One thing about learning that separates passion is I am also willing to step aside. One thing that separates me from what Bozos for Bush is doing is I'm more then willing to stop and re-think things. If I make a mistake I'll admit it and I'll be humble enough to ask for advise. I'm also the type of person to leave things alone.

If you think I should leave then let me know. If all DU'ers feel I should leave Democratic Underground then let me know. I will personally stop coming here and I will personally stop posting if the members here feel I am a problem.

[Bozos for Bush]

210. There's nothing to stop and think about here

You and your buddies have been misleading people on at least three websites.

The title of your thread at Common Ground Common Sense, "Activisms have Fun" blew it for you. Of course you knew that Activisms was Auditors, and you opened the door for him to immediately jump in and start the same wild goosechase, with you pitching in your share of deceptive and downright false information.

So, how many other sites do you guys "have fun" at?

I've written to Skinner. I've provided him all the evidence. You had a lot of fun while it lasted, and I imagine you're still having fun at other places. Most telling of everything you have written is your comment "but I do believe Activisms is part of why Jeff Fisher believes what he has."

And perhaps you're absolutely right for a change.

Once again, none of your deceptions takes away from the fact that Accenture is a bad company, and was probably involved in the election theft that occurred three weeks ago. Bev knows her stuff, and Accenture has the links to back up her beliefs.

However, you guys intentionally sent the entire story off into the wild blue yonder.

You've been busted.

[AnIndependentTexan]

211. That is were you are wrong and why you are being a idiot

First it isn't a matter of busting anyone. I've always been honest about who I am. By saying you and your buddy's over there have been misleading everyone that is like a person saying just because we post something and then made a mistake on it we are then misleading to the world. By your own words you just declared to the whole Media that we should not be trusted here at Democratic Underground because one person makes a mistake. You've just declared everyone is part of a VAST conspiracy to mislead others. By allowing yourself to be controlled by fear you are falling for your own passion to protect people.

The passion to protect something from what you believe is wrong is what has caused you to leach out at others. You are assuming so much and you don't accept any other viewpoints. You've become your own worst nightmare. That is why I stepped back and took a break. That is why I'm also willing to re-think things. That is why I'm willing to let others lead in what they want to look at on things. I admit I made a mistake because I was trying to be rational, but even when being rational there were still problems. I'm willing to learn from my mistake, but you can't let yours go!

213. Hilarious BS

This ain't a 50/50 thing Indy.

For example, Bush deserted the Guard.
Swift Boat Liars claim Kerry blah blah blah

Hmmm, let's just not talk about this stuff anymore.

I am well aware of you thug's 50/50 strategy, which is used to deflect attention to something damaging, by trying to make other people believe that the accuser/opponent is equally guilty.

Sorry bozo, your Maytag broke down.

[AnIndependentTexan]

214. I'm sorry but you have truly lost it

I've been willing and I tried to listen to your view point. At this point in time I will be ignoring you. You have shown that is the only logical step. I've never ignored anyone before.

[Bozos for Bush]

215. need to conduct further research

Time for bed.

Maybe you're just a seriously misguided kid.

Maybe you thought you became friends with Activisms/Auditors, and had no idea he was leading you in a deception. But then, why would you start a thread titled "Activisms have fun?"

And yet, you have on occasion warned others not to jump to conclusions.

But then again, you've posted a lot of bad info, posting it as if it was all true.

So, how old are you? Did you merely hook up with some bad eggs?

223. Hey Tex, why don't you put your money where your opinion is?

Go for it and take your own advice about a break from not thinking about things. What exactly is your game?

ps stars next to your name has meaning outside of texas too

[AnIndependentTexan]

225. actually anyone can donate

and there is no game. I took a break . I also have stopped talking about CyberNet Group. I'm more interested in finding a peaceful solution. The only reason I have not donated is cause I don't have a job. I also don't have a credit card. I also made a suggestion of putting up a forum so that we can keep them separate if it is misleading.

I'm actually willing to find a peaceful solution then telling people to close down threads. I've also been willing to work and take advise. I'm not perfect and I've already said I might have made a mistake. The reason why I'm choosing to ignore is because it is easier. I understood George's point of view how it could mislead, but Bozos for Bush has not offered a peaceful solution. The only solution Bozos for Bush has offered is shut down every thread and label everyone freepers or part of a conspiracy. I personally believe there is a peaceful solution and if people who have felt passionate about researching have caused a problem then one solution I see is having it in another part of the forum to allow the people who want to a chance to talk about it and keep it from misleading people. You can not silence anything but you can ask to help in finding a solution.

190. I thought as much...

I'm a slow sponge, but eventually I catch on.

196. Well, one thing is for SURE--the defense industry is handling our votes

http://www.prisonplanet.com/transcript_harris_091903.html

Interview with Bev from last year.

So, I KNOW Accenture is involved.

[GetTheRightVote]

199. Interesting Read, but is it all true

Bush connections everywhere as needed

[Carolab]

205. I'm sure it's true

Do you think Bev is making it up? Plus David Allen was at that meeting, transcibing it.

Accenture = Andersen/Enron/Halliburton--think there is any "Bush connection"?

HERE, read this:

203. Do you still think this topic should be shut down?

Just checking.

[Carl Brennan]

202. Darn, I can't read the link because the type is very small

Any pointers on how to enlarge it without copying and pasting each piece.

Thanks. It sounds like an interesting turn of events.

[Carolab]

204. Easy

Select the whole interview by right clicking it, copy and paste it into Word, enlarge.

217. Or else a young kid who has no idea how to search for info properly?

If you are a kid, it's not too late for you.

But you need to understand that election fraud is the most serious threat to America in her history.

The world used to count on America to lead the way. America stood for something - America was the place people could go to, to be free.

These days, fascsim is taking over. No matter how much devilish fun it might be to lead good people astray, everyone has a heart, and most people know in that heart that America will never be the same again, if we do not stop what is happening right now.

We must not fail. This is a war now - a war against power and greed, a war against people who cheat for the sake of only themselves and their kind of people.

I believe you are a young kid. I believe it's not too late for you. And I hope you realize that young people everywhere will lose, if we fail to stop this menace that is taking over our country.

So, if this is all merely a matter of you not knowing how to do research properly, I volunteer to teach you.

Perhaps I can learn a thing or two as well.

[Bozos for Bush]

219. I see you made some good posts at Kerry's website (n/t)

[Carl Brennan]

226. So now you are commending yourself Bozo?

:eyes: ;)

[Bozos for Bush]

227. What a shameless kick

That post has been up for 2 days, you've had plenty of opportunity to respond to it, and now finally you do because all your garbage is sinking on the boards.

People are wising up around here dude.

[Carl Brennan]

228. Well, it wasn't addressed to me. Even if it was I'm never

in a hurry to reply to Bozos. ;)

[Carl Brennan]

231. Kick for Bozo

[KansDem]

224. Does this language suggest anything?

I'm not sure if this is significant, but does this language mean anything with regard to Election2004:

If one has a certain amount of assets and wants to allocate them among N securities, the philosophy of Markowitz is to diversify efficiently. The idea is to pick the portfolio that minimizes the investor’s risk…

The philosophy behind using the variance function as a risk function is that one should minimize the deviation from the mean. The semivariance method says that positive deviation from the mean is okay, but negative deviation should be minimized.

I not sure if I found anything but could formulas involving investing be used in swaying election results?

230. Vintage Tin Foil Hat Stuff

Many of us here are novice tin foil hatters who have only been at it since the election.
To better frame this discourse and bring it into perspective I offer this link (http://www.hermes-press.com/Voting/vote_rig.htm) by the late Dr. Norman Livergood concerning the danger of electronic manipulation of voting.
Dr. Livergood had been at this stuff so long that he died with gold brocade on his tin foil hat and golden tin foil epaulets on his shoulders.

This link has expired. If you just try to go directly to it you will only get 404 page not found.
You must first go to www.archive.org and then paste in the link.

This is a REALLY GOOD read!
