U.S. company Cycorp is tied into the U.S. intelligence community like few other commercial entities. With a long-standing relationship with the ultra-connected Admiral Bobby Ray Inman, Cycorp has an intel pedigree that few others can match.

And Admiral Inman is linked to all of the key names popping up in the current anthrax scandal via his involvement with SAIC.

Web author Michael Collins has published a new piece based on an examination of the 2004 polls conducted by the National Election Pool, which reveals that broad assumptions about voter turnout in urban areas appears to be incorrect, and that George Walker Bush's miraculous victory in 2004 is doubly miraculous considering the erosion in his rural base.

The "surge" in Bush supporters supposedly came from WASP-ish instant voters that spontaneously generated themselves in large urban centers and pulled the "W" lever. It certainly didn't come from the traditional Democratic base, and what's more, these phantom voters were mute apparitions that wafted into polling stations, and did not share their inspiration with pollsters.

We're told that "security moms" and energized evangelicals brought it home for Bush, but maybe, just maybe, the energy didn't come from the base. Below find a few paragraphs from Collins' piece.

(Decatur) After one hour of voting, the McKinney campaign has received numerous calls that the voting machines are malfunctioning.  Voters casting votes for McKinney are reportedly having their votes switched by the machines for Hank Johnson. This is not a new problem with Diebold machines.  Lawyers for the campaign have been alerted and said that if this situation is not corrected, Cynthia McKinney for Congress will be forced to take additional measures.

The statement was joined by an email from Professor Milios detailing his experience firsthand. In the email, Milios claims that the official reason given for his refusal of entry was a visa irregularity, but claims he had the visa checked at the US Embassy in Athens before he left for the US, and all was in order.

I didn't seek Milios' permission to republish his email, but please check out the following statement by Michael Zweig, Director, Center for Study of Working Class Life, SUNY - Stony Brook, who granted me permission to republish in full, including contact info, to get the word out.

A skeptic of the official narrative of the September 11th attacks has produced a remarkable film which gathers an impressive array of source material regarding the collapses of the World Trade Center Buildings and presents the material in a cohesive and devastating manner.

I call the video compilation a film because the producer, “Dem Bruce Lee Styles”, has obviously spent a great deal of time editing, compressing and uncompressing online video material, and fusing it with some of the most up-to-date information regarding the alarming hypothesis that the World Trade Center was brought down with the aid of controlled demolition.

On last Thursday's Al Franken Show, his delusions were on full display; he still thinks Saddam had WMD's, (but tried to qualify it with "at one time"), still thinks Iraq was an Al-Qaeda training camp, and really had no excuse for his pre-invasion hokum about oil-rich Iraq being able to pay for its own post invasion mess, and still seems to have no problems about parroting the lies about Iraq's non-existent nuclear weapons program.

On Sunday, Perle took a left turn and swept in low, strafing the Code Pink 24hr Mother's Day vigil, with a PBS camera in tow. He caught flak.

Bush budget scraps 9,790 border patrol agents
President uses law's escape clause to drop funding for new homeland security force

Michael Hedges, Houston Chronicle
Wednesday, February 9, 2005

Washington -- The law signed by President Bush less than two months ago to add thousands of border patrol agents along the U.S.-Mexico border has crashed into the reality of Bush's austere federal budget proposal, officials said Tuesday...

This is just a sample of the thousands of "anomalies" that were reported to the EIRS during the 2004 election. This batch consists mostly of "vote flipping" in Florida.

Still don't think there is a problem? You need to give Mark Crispin Miller a listen, and read "What Went Wrong in Ohio"... pronto.

On Wednesday, February 15th, 2006, LTC Anthony Shaffer  submitted an amazing written statement detailing his involvement with ABLE DANGER to Congress. You can download a PDF of the statement here, and I have made an HTML version here. For those people who are new to the ABLE DANGER (AD), story, I can't think of a better starting point.

The idea was to take the 'best and brightest' military operators, intelligence officers, technicians and planners from the Special Operations Command (SOCOM), the U.S. Army and the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), in an entrepreneurial endeavor, much like bringing the best minds and capabilities from Ford Motor Company, General Motors and Daimler-Chrysler to focus on a single challenge. In the case of ABLE DANGER, the challenge was to discover the global 'body' of Al Qaeda - then, with this knowledge, prepare military and intelligence "options" that would be supported by the "actionable information" that was being produced by the project. - Prepared Statement Of LTC Shaffer, 2/15/06.

That was the idea.

How about a War on "Machiavellian Politics"?

Let's take a look around for minute... and try to clearly define the "enemy". Utilizing sources that you won't find in Big Media, that is, not in American Big Media.

Every once in a while, the truth wins out, and the Military Industrial Complex takes a little hit.

Col. Dan Marvin is the author of Expendable Elite – One Soldier’s Journey Into Covert Warfare. The book tells the true story of Marvin’s experience in Vietnam, in the An Phu province, befriending and defending the local population, (the Hoa Hao’s), and how his team was marked for destruction by the CIA. The book was finally published in 2003 after being turned down by over 100 publishers.

Beyond Chutzpah – On the Misuse of Anti-Semitism and the Abuse of History by Norman Finkelstein.

University of California Press, 2005

“Beyond Chutzpah”(BC) is written in two parts; Part One: The Not-So-New “Anti-Semitism” and Part Two: The Greatest Tale Ever Sold.

In the Introduction, Finkelstein writes;

...the allegation of a new anti-Semitism is neither new, nor about anti-Semitism. Whenever Israel comes under renewed international pressure to withdraw from occupied territories, its apologists mount yet another meticulously orchestrated media extravaganza alleging that the world is awash in anti-Semitism. This shameless exploitation of anti-Semitism delegitimizes criticism of Israel, makes Jews rather than Palestinians the victims, and puts the onus on the Arab world to rid itself of anti-Semitism rather than on Israel to rid itself of the Occupied Territories. (p.16, BC)

...and this is basically the thesis for Part One.

You can view the excerpts online by going to the Library of Congress' THOMAS service, http://thomas.loc.gov -- selecting "Congressional Record" and typing in "9/11" into the "Search" field, selecting McKinney's name from the "Member of Congress" drop down list, de-selecting the "Senate" option, and hitting "Search".

I have created "unofficial" transcripts, they are linked at the bottom of my other blog, here; http://www.gnn.tv/...

Despite Rep. Curt Weldon’s many faults, (i.e. Rev. Moon ), he latched onto something much bigger than himself when he stumbled over Able Danger.

The idea that the DIA found out about Atta’s activities a full year before the 9/11 Commission will acknowledge it may seem outlandish to some people. However, the idea is not only put forth by the DIA whistleblowers, but is corroborated with independent research by author, Peter Lance.

Who is Andy the German?

Andy the German is Andreas Carl Strassmeir, son of Guenter Strassmeir, a well known German politician.

In the immediate aftermath of the Oklahoma City Bombing on April 19th, 1995, a lot of people wanted to know who Andy was. His name surfaced early at the McCurtain Daily Gazette when reporters began to interview residents of Elohim City, a right-wing compound in Oklahoma, near the Arkansas border where Andy stayed.

Among the strongest presentations was the fast-paced ballad of Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh, aka Saeed Sheikh, aka Mustafa Ahmed, aka Mustafa Ahmed al-Hasawi, aka Mustafa Mahmoud Saeed Ahmed, aka Mustafa Mohammed Ahmed... I think you get the picture. Saeed Sheikh is the hijacking/kidnapping/financial expert who was tasked with killing Daniel Pearl, and is rumored to be the paymaster of 9/11 who wired $100,000 to Mohammed Atta...
