Vote notes -- Madsen and more

Wayne Madsen: Well, I haven't the time to write the longish piece that I had hoped to write. Here are a few basics:

1. Remember that $29 million check, allegedly used to pay off the vote fraud conspirators? It's a fake. I'm betting that Madsen himself will admit this in his next article.

2. Remember Madsen's unnamed sources? One of them, apparently, is the fellow I mentioned in my very first piece on all this: Marion Horn jr., sometimes known as "J.R." Horn. This is the convicted fraudster (and one-time Republican politico) who received a suspiciously lenient sentence.

1. Yes, Madsen knows the check is a decoy. I confirmed as much last

night in a different thread. Horn is NOT one of his sources to my knowledge. Madsen has been investigating Horn. Horn is a decoy according to Madsen. I think I posted that yesterday too. As a matter of fact, let me dig out the e-mail and I'll post it again here:

I can't post anything more about the check because its part of "an ongoing criminal investigation". Suffice it to say I've gotten to see a photo of it and Madsen calls it a "decoy" (ie. disinformation).

Madsen writes:
"Okay, I guess its time to find out about Mr Horn..
Could you ask people to go to this MSN Groups site:

http://groups.msn.com/civilcase03-0725USDistCourtWashingtonD-C

(JamBoi edit): Horn is key to this story -- he has filed a bunch of bogus exhibits in his civil suit against George W. Bush et al. in Washington, DC. But he is also a Kentucky Republican politician -- with ties to wacko right wing groups, I'm told and he is a kind of decoy in this whole deal. Five Star Trust is who paid for this vote rigging and his Five Star Investments, Ltd. is a false front to lure people away from the real Prize.

(JamBoi edit): What was the role of Kentucky right wing fundamentalists in vote rigging there in last year's Governor race and could they have gone across into southern Ohio to perform the same vote manipulation? Five Star Trust represents $3 billion taken out of the Philippines by Marcos in the late 80s and which wound up in a Houston tranche for the use of the GHW Bush and GW Bush campaigns. A bit of a quiz: Good students of WW II history will figure out where the "Five Star" comes from. Since the late 80s, Five Star Trust has been infused with money from the Saudis and leftover off shore cash from Enron."
