11. Hi Wilmas Eggs!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[Wilmas Eggs]

17. Thanks

I've been lurking for months, and thought my first one would be special. I guess I had to break the ice sometime. Plus, Will is such a STAR........ it's so cool how this works.

I'll be contributing more as time goes on.

4. Came right up, maybe they were down for maint.??

[Sydnie]

5. I got the same message Will

Perhaps it is an east coast or ISP router issue?

[bobthedrummer]

6. I and several other DUer's came here after a purge of CT posters

in the summer/fall 2001. Maybe you're banned now, with no explanations. I got permission to post there back years later when I insisted that , at a minimum, 9/11 was LIHOP.
I rarely go there since.

[WilliamPitt]

8. I almost never post there

Do you have a contact addy?

[bobthedrummer]

9. Check your PM, Will.

[King Coal]

15. CT posters?

[bobthedrummer]

16. Conspiracy realists, but called politically incorrect theorists=CT

seventhson, 9215, Geobop, Aries, Jen 6, myself were but a few of the truthseekers that got called conspiracy theorists and then banned/turned-off by Board Nanny piecemeal during a wild summer week in 2001 imo.

[TreasonousBastard]

10. Comes up fine for me...

try clearing your cookies or changing browsers and see what happens.

12. Umm, Will, I think they are on to you. Have you checked for

mysterious men lurking in the shadows? Any weird clicking sounds on you telephone? Cable TV van parked outside your place for the last few weeks?

[madinmaryland]

13. No problem here. . . .

Ask not at who the chimp smirks, he smirks at you!

[realFedUp]

14. Good articles over there today...

“SHUT UP!,” THEY EXPLAIN

By Ernest Partridge
Co-Editor, "The Crisis Papers."
February 1, 2005


“‘Buzz Off’ in no way constitutes valid rebuttal.”

New Yorker Cartoon
(From memory)



Have you noticed?

Those of us who suspect that the election was stolen (a.k.a. “conspiracy nuts”), have presented an impressive array of evidence – statistical, anecdotal and circumstantial – to support our claims. In response to this we have been provided scant rebuttal evidence.

Instead, we have been ridiculed, vilified, and, most damaging of all, ignored. If our concerns are warranted, then the manipulation of the past election (and perhaps the elections of 2000 and 2002 as well) is arguably the most important news event since the founding of our republic, for a fraudulent national election strikes at the very heart of our democracy. If we the people of the United States are no longer able to remove the government through the ballot box, we are no longer ruled “with the consent of the governed.” Government of, by, and for the people is finished.

Furthermore, “the press” (which we now call “the media”) is no longer our defense against tyranny, for it now serves the government.

To be sure, the conventional view that George Bush and the Republicans won the election “fair and square,” is not without a few defenses. But, as I attempted to demonstrate in my previous essay (“Has the Case for Election Fraud been Refuted”), these arguments do not stand up to close inspection. And what, for the most part, is the response when the skeptics confront the media and the “winners” with their questions and their evidence, and demand an explanation?

“Shut Up!,” they explain.

In this essay, I will take a different approach to the issue of electoral integrity. Rather than continue with accusations and evidence, both new and re-iterated, I will pose a series of questions – questions which, for the most part, have been ignored by the media and by the beneficiaries of the past election, the Bush Administration and the Republican Party.
