But in the meantime, we get a few things done that were impossible due to the politics of the moment before. Such as the erasure of government information that belongs to the people, which may contain complicity of some of the current ex-Reagan/Bush crowd in criminal acts during the 80s and perhaps the 90s. Including all of the 9/11 data from all departments, which has been sequestered and unavailable to FOIA. Plus stonewall refusal to address the glaring unanswered questions of the whereabouts and actions of key officials. Secrecy is the red flag indicating "something is rotten in Denmark". Too long of a string of coincidences that brought this crew to power, and are keeping them in power, most recently June 10th Ashcroft Moscow announcement, sniper news management, and VNS failure. Re the Voter News Service -- strangely out of business. If they had two years to get ready, what happened? The excuse is "gee, too much data". Blatant nonsense, since the data can be processed later if necessary, but they've canned it all, even the raw data. Why would anyone do that? The other side of that excuse is if someone was going to diddle with the election, a mandatory action would be to (a)kill Paul Wellstone and his wife and (b)eliminate the exit polls to avoid embarassing accountability and opinions on voters' reasons. Enough of the paranoid conspiracy stuff, it's just coincidence, probably. (After all, guess who is in charge of the VNS...just another coincidence) For further entertainment, read what the sh*t-disturber Al Martin wrote before the election, that turned out to have some small bit of prescience at the end: Will the Stupidity of the American People Ever End? (October 28) The death of Senator Paul Wellstone was a phenomenal stroke of luck for the Republicans. Wellstone was the Democrats' best hope to hold onto control of the Senate. According to the polls, he was going to be reelected. Since his wife was also killed, she won't be able to stand in for him. This is unlike the Mel Carnahan situation in which he also died in a plane crash but his wife was able to take his place. It should be remembered that John Ashcroft was actually defeated by a dead guy (Mel Carnahan) in Missouri. That demonstrates the popularity of Ashcroft, the current Gauleiter of the Beltway. The laws are a little unclear - but what a stroke of luck for the Republicans. It should be remembered that Wellstone also was the chairman of the new securities reform committee. And it was Wellstone who was attempting to block the nomination of the notorious William Webster, former CIA and FBI head and the Best Friend of Big Business and the Big Accounting Firms, to be the new chairman of the SEC/ Accounting "Oversight" Commission. If the Republicans wanted to take anybody out, this was THE guy. Wellstone was also the lead voice in the Senate, pushing for the investigation of the missing $350 million from the Bureau of Indian Affairs. This is the affair in which Secretary of Interior Gale Norton has twice taken the Fifth Amendment and refused to answer questions about how $350 million disappeared late in the Reagan-Bush administration. Judge Lamberth cited her for contempt, but when do they send her to jail? It should also be remembered that Lamberth was a Republican appointed judge. Wellstone was a very significant player, and if there was one target (the most valuable guy to eliminate), it would be Wellstone. This could be the actual trump card in who will control the Senate.
