Brave Canadian blogger on Randi Rhodes forum just on Canadian radio F word
She told the host she had a message on behalf of her American blogging friends that we believe this election was stolen, she gave out blackboxvoting.org, votergate.tv, talked about Ohio and the recount, that our media was not reporting the real news on the elections, and Jesse Jackson's help with this. The host acknowledged other problems he'd heard about. She suggested that perhaps if the Canadian media took this on perhaps American media might pick it up.

14. More......
There are some demonstrations on Parliament Hill, more and more people are gathering.
Someone is dressed up to look like *, carrying a cardboard missile.

P.M. Martin is speaking about how we(USA) will work together.
Talking about the Ukraine if you don't have a free and fair and transparent election, then you don't have a Democracy. (Well, DUH)

Now the dictator * is talking. I hate that idiot. Same old BS. Iraq, Afghanistan terrorism, etc...

Talking about removing Saddam because he presented a threat to the USA, and he does what he thinks is right.

Talking about Poland, (he didn't forget that), something about helping out with the problems in Ukraine.

Martin said, * you draw a bigger crowd than I do. Bush says, I don't know if that's good or bad.


I have to leave for awhile, I will tape this and try and post later...

17. Make this a new thread if you can ... from the Wall Street Journal
Front page article from the WSJ on Nov. 29 :
Interpreter for Deaf makes Her Protest Heard in Ukraine
On TV, Ms. Dmytruk Uses Sign Language to Call Election Coverage a "Lie"
By Yaroslav Trofimov
Kiev, Ukraine
Natalia Dmytruk, the sign-language interpreter at Ukraine's state TV channel, came to work Thursday morning fired up for action.
The channel's reporters, like their colleagues on the other two major national networks, were on strike. They were protesting government pressure to slant news coverage in favor of Viktor Yanukovych, the Russian-backed candidate in this country's disputed presidentioal election.
State TV wasn't broadcasting demonstrations by hundreds of thousands of supporters of Viktor Yushchenko, the pro-Western candidate who believews that the presidency was stolen from him through government-sponsored fraud. Mr. Yanukovych, the current prime minister, was presented on the news as the election's undisputed winner, receiving congratulations from Russian President Putin.
So Ms. Dmytruk, 47 years old, adopted guerrilla tactics to break the information blockade.
<snip>
...after interpreting the news broadcast for the deaf on Nov. 25, Ms. Dmytruk bared her wrist (showing an orange ribbon in support of Yushchenko) and said, "Everything you have heard so far on the news was a total lie. Yushchenko is our true president. Goodbye, you will probably never see me here again."


----
Maybe we could entice her to come to CNN and do us the same favor?
