Kennedy nailed it:
((so, in addition to interfering with ongoing investigations/prosecutions of Republics, and pushing Attorneys to investigate so-called voter fraud, which was really voter suppression, they want to influence the 2008 Presidential election. THEY GET A THREE-FER. Only rover could have thought this up....or, Sampson, who some said was a rove-wannabe.))

Kennedy yesterday:



"The administration views our system of justice as merely another arena for furthering its right-wing ideology," Kennedy said in a speech at the National Press Club. "The conclusion is inescapable that the administration has methodically placed reliable partisans in positions where they can influence the outcome of the 2008 election." "

1. But, without electronic voting machines they're SOL
I can't help but think that's the ONE thing they've been counting on for 2008 and there is a hella big grass-roots effort to get rid of them.

9. No, they can still sit on their hands while local politicians deny voting
rights. They can still pursue false claims of voter fraud.

2. What clued me into this aspect of the case is when I heard that Rove's protege was Little Rock bound
No doubt he was being positioned for Whitewater round 2, and would be heading up opposition research and prosecutions of any bullshit charge they could dream up of Clinton before the election and (gulp) during her terms.

3. Let's get this down to being more basic for the American citizen.
If they will put their thumb on the scale of justice for purient reasons against someone of note on their side, they will do this to anyone, even you. They will destroy you without a bat of an eye.

4. The worst thing is that when Gonzo resigns,
and I think he will, there are so many people who will go "whew, I'm glad that's over" and go about their business, never knowing the Master Plan behind this whole scandal. What can we do to educate people about the Master Plan????

8. Indeed!! You are exactly on the right trail!! If we were strategerizing on this...
maybe we might have a chance at saving this country.

BUT.... there's no real effort to do that.

After the disastrous 2004 election fraud, I thought it was time to do exactly what you're talking about. I had met Republicans who were campaigning for Kerry, cuz they were sick and ashamed of what their (former, in many cases) party was doing. I thought then, "Well, these people are new to the concept of liberalism, and we need to help them understand what it's all about."

I thought of videos. It never caught on, but I still think it's a good idea.

As I was working through this idea in my mind, what I thought was that a really good foundation for understanding what is happening is "The Plot To Overthrow FDR" It's about 42 minutes long, so it gives time for discussion after wards, too. Most people have no awareness of it, so it opens their eyes and prepares them for all kinds of new ideas.

If you know people who have recently awakened, but aren't really aware of what it all means, I would suggest maybe having a houseparty, checking out this video from your library (or even purchasing it), and having a good discussion.

If you do so, remember that even though he isn't mentioned in that particular video, Preston Bush was part of the "gang".

Good luck, and I hope this is something you can do.

5. You ain't seen nothin' yet
Be ready for this, you may even want to sit down. There is an election challenge going on right now in which voters have signed sworn affidavits attesting for whom they voted under penalty of perjury. More about that in a minute.

Republican Ron Paul is running for President and a major part of his platform is alledgedly to abolish the Fed. Of course every President who did this in the past no longer draws a breath on this planet. Could it be that the election will be rigged in favor of Hillary who is a New World Order Democrat in order to keep some one like Ron Paul (should he make it that far) from becoming elected and abolishing the Fed?? I wonder if that is the other side of what happened last November. I wouldn't be surprised.

Back to the challenge. There is concrete evidence of vote fraud in florida. Go to clintcurtis.com and also visit the blog for the latest. He needs money for discovery which is fast approaching. Google the Clint Curtis Vote Rig Scandal to learn more and then please help him.

Too bad Kennedy didn't mention the fact that a year ago at the Republican Lawyers meeting, Rove mentioned 11 states that were battlegrounds for 2008.

They've appointed new US Attorney's in 9 of those 11 states.
