Special Report: More on the Buying Of Electoral Votes

ONLINE JOURNAL™ www.onlinejournal.com By Wayne Madsen Online Journal Contributing Writer November 26, 2004—Additional information on the buying of vote riggers with Saudi and former Enron funds has been obtained. The epicenter for the vote rigging operation is Dallas, Texas, and the operation may involve retired FBI agents who used a well-established "good ole boy" network to arrange for access to polling precincts by electronic voting machine technicians who took advantage of various November 2 security "lockdowns" to illegally alter the tabulation of votes in favor of Bush. Some of the retired agents may have used courtesy credentials issued upon retirement to fool unsuspecting polling place workers. The cost of the operation was estimated at $29 million with the money sent via a circuitous network of offshore trust companies and shell activities. This reporter has obtained a copy of a bank check for $29,600,000 that was allegedly sent to cover the cost of the Texas-based vote rigging operation. The check is dated October 22, 2004, and was made payable to "Five Star Investment Ltd.," a trust said to have long connections to Saudi-funded operations in Texas and around the world. The payer is identified as "Equity Financial Trust," a Houston-based "brass plate" and post office box entity tied to offshore Cook Islands "folding tent" accounts used to hide away profits amassed by the former Enron as well as Saudi financiers. On October 6, 2004, some two weeks before Equity Financial Trust transferred the money to Five Star Investment Ltd., the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions for Canada listed Equity Financial Trust, along with Bankers Financial and Security Trust, Falcon Financial and Trust, and Unity Virtual Trust Group as "unauthorized financial institutions." In fact, the check for $29.6 million, which is marked "Not to exceed fifty million dollars," is drawn on the Laurentian Bank of Canada's Toronto branch. Its serial number is 317675450 3 and the bank number is 23-97/1020. The bank instrument is issued by Integrated Payment Systems, Inc. of Englewood, Colorado, and Bank One, NA, Denver, Colorado. It is noteworthy that a number of companies operated by past Bush campaign contributor Pierre Falcone, under criminal investigation in France for weapons smuggling in Angola, are called "Falcon." Several non-governmental organizations, including Global Witness, have tied Falcone to questionable Halliburton activities when Vice President Dick Cheney headed the firm. Some of the vote riggers who were guaranteed a minimum payment for their services have started talking about the operation because they did not receive the money they were promised. Wayne Madsen is a Washington, DC-based investigative journalist, author and syndicated columnist who previously served in the National Security Agency during the Reagan administration. He concentrates on national security and intelligence issues. Copyright © 1998–2004 Online Journal™. All rights reserved.

easier to read?

my old eyes have so much trouble with such large blocks of text....

accuracy?

certainly a bombshell, and history changer if true.

Bush would end in prison if this is true... for whatever the law calls election tampering/rigging/stealing/fraud. Perhaps also malfeasance, or high crimes and misdemeanors.

Sure would hate to see a Christian gentleman who added a million to those in hunger, end up in jail. Too undignified.

Is Madsen an un-credible type or is this to be trusted?
Just wondering..I don't get much time to keep track of posts here on Du..
This sounds credible and if he has a paper trail of sorts shouldn't someone be shoving this into mainstream..somewhere?

C'mon Bush's PRAVDA cannot control everything written. Seattle news might print this. There are many other papers that despise the overthrow of our American gov't. by Bush and his Saudi counterparts.

Where's the damned outrage?
Do we at DU have to do EVERYTHING ourselves??

All this takes place well before the election, meanwhile Americans are all anxiously counting down the hours when the polls close and results are tallied.
What a fuc*ing joke.

What country will this group take as their own, next? Well before the citizens have a clue what has happened.

Watch out Canada..a mere "friendly" visit from George Bush and your once independent press will suddenly be reporting that he is really protecting your freedoms..he's a Christian, he's a really really really nice guy...Really!!

Keep that from ever happening. This is a powerful group that reaches in and steals your government before you know what's happened.

Beware.

Nice re-do.
Clear, crisp, concise, easy to read and understand.
Much easier to highlight and email off to at least a hundred interested parties.

Does European Press have a copy of this?

Thanks.
