Madsen preannounces third article to be posted this afternoon

Here's the e-mail I just recieved:
"jamboi writes:

Also do you know when
your next article will be published?

should be up later this afternoon

w"

I assume it will be carried on http://onlinejournal.com again. Hopefully by preannouncing it here, that will help the folks who were not sure if that was really him here on the Q&A Sunday night -- it was. :-)

JamBoi

for the heads up

BTW, jamboi, every time I see your name, I think of "jambalaya."

:)

vandalizing Kennedy's grave?

Some people are sick, really sick.

Wilderson and on Counterpunch sites, but I don't have a subscription so I couldn't read it.

once it's online.

back of skepticism here at DU would be of enormous significance I think, because if Madsen's reports prove to have enough to them to go forward, I think DUers are going to make an incredible difference in publicizing the info! There's just so many of us and so energetic!

let's GO, Madsen! yeah!

wouldn't let DU be punked that way.

ahead of time that he was putting out his second article, it will be somewhat later than he predicted. Last time he said that evening and I think it was probably midnight before it was posted. Since he said afternoon this time I'd guess sometime this evening.

I don't know what time it is by everyone elses watch -- but it's well past 'afternoon' down here below the Mason Dixon(south of Cincinnatti) --

Something must have happened -- they're holding the article up for some reason? :)

Thought I would introduce a healthy bit of paranoia -- let you kiddies chew on it for half an hour or so -- taking a nap -- maybe it will be up when I get back.

And just because we're paranoid, doesn't mean the R's aren't out to get us! ;)

(only half-joking)

Votergate: More details emerge
by Wayne Madsen

Excerpts:
(snip)
"Since the late 1980s, Five Star Trust has been supplemented by additional money from the Saudis. According to Houston sources, the trust has been extensively used by the campaigns of both George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush. These sources also claim that the Saudis and Bushes use "Five Star" entities as vehicles to move large amounts of money for special purposes. Other names associated with this large Saudi-Bush multibillion dollar tranche are Five Star Group, Five Star Company, and Five Star LLC. The money used to move the money for the vote rigging was also said to involve accounts in Phoenix, Arizona and Houston.

The use of foreign nationals as election machine technicians on Election Day has also been confirmed. Sources with details of the vote rigging stated that some foreign nationals were involved in the reprogramming of Diebold and other machines in the four key states of Florida, Ohio, Texas, and California. The technicians successfully padded votes in Ohio to ensure that state's 20 electoral votes went to the Bush column. In populous counties in Florida, Texas, and California, the vote padding ensured that Bush's nationwide popular vote margin was well in excess of 3 million votes, giving him 51 percent of the national vote over John Kerry. One unsuccessful Democratic candidate in California voiced concerns about whether the alleged vote padding in his state affected his own vote count.

Vote padding for Bush's popular vote may have also been used in Maryland. Diebold ran a training program for volunteer election technicians on October 29, three days before Election Day, at a warehouse in Glen Burnie, Maryland. Volunteers were paid $14 an hour for their services. According to a Diebold insider, U.S. citizenship was not a qualification to work on Diebold election machines on Election Day and the volunteers could have been assigned "anywhere in the state on Election Day."

Sources familiar with the Votergate scandal have stated that foreign nationals from Mexico, Brazil, and Russia were used to "fix" selected machines in critical counties and precincts in Florida, Ohio, Texas, and California. Moreover, some of these individuals have been associated with organized crime activity, including computer hacking, in the United States and abroad. Those familiar with the use of Diebold machines to commit voter fraud have revealed that the hardware and software used in Diebold machines used in casinos and polling places is essentially the same, including the back door used to dial in over telephone lines to change payoff odds in gambling machines. The same mechanism was used to change votes, the sources contend."

Thanks to members of the Democratic Underground for sending me news items, leads, contacts, and other relevant information.

In the case summary it is stated that Ferrera "assigned and delivered some of the Mexican notes to an associate in Lexington, Kentucky, who owned Five Star Investments, Ltd.

I've been curious for quite some time about the results of the Kentucky race, althought I suppose it might have nothing to do with nothing.

Just curious whether any other evoting machine companies ran "training programs" on the fly before the election. Three days is a crash-course. How many hours were they trained in those three days?

BTW, on a different note, Cuyahoga provisional vote counting has determined that Kerry has gained 10,000 votes on bush's "lead" of 136,000 votes, so now it's down to 126,000 votes plus.

G'night, DU. G'night, jambalaya ;)

a number of these close Senate races where the Dems were winning into the evening and flipped early in the morning had something funny going on. Several examples include FL, OK, SD (Daschle!).

s! They can appear to be volunteers and gain credentialed access that way.
