"...clearer picture of how this Election Fraud 04 was done is beginning to emerge...

You see, the more the Bushes fire additional government insiders, the more stuff is leaked to me about this election fraud. This smoking gun is...the election voting machine companies (all run by extreme right-wing [Dominionist], "End Timers") conspired with the homeland security and other database firms -- all conveniently located in FL, OH, and TX -- to rig the vote.

"...Elections that close with millions of people voting have never happened before in our nation's history..."

"Not only this last election but several previous ones were "fixed" by a dangerous group of right-wing [Dominionists] who dominate the election machine industry and various GOP Secretary of State and congressional offices. They (known as "The Fellowship" ) have been planning this coup for a very long time but now that their "man" is in the White House they are not about to leave through a fair electoral process."

[Madsen Matters note: The raw version was very dense and hard to find the most salient points, so I've done a lot of bolding and underlining (and occasional spell correcting and punctuating :-) ). My edits are in square brackets. The only other editorial bias I have added is to alter the misleading phrase '"dominionist" Christian' to simply Dominionist, since these people have nothing to do with Jesus.]

Subject:    End of Year Update on Investigation
To: [JamBoi]   
Here is an update of where the investigation is heading -- many strings must be tied together but a clearer picture of how this Election Fraud 04 was done is beginning to emerge. The follow the money trail is leading to some interesting places.

[JamBoi note: There's a picture here -- I'll have to figure out if I can load it somehow]

Kay Stephenson, CEO of Datamaxx (she looks like her, but it's not Laura Bush)
She is close to both Jeb Bush and Colin Powell. Powell has visited her a number of times in Tallahassee.

Before Datamaxx was formed, its contracts were about to go to Seisint, a Tampa company allegedly tied to mob money.  It operates Accurint, and was recently bought out by Lexis.

Interesting note is that Datamaxx uses Accurint for its database. Datamaxx has made a killing in law enforcement/homeland security contracts after 911.

-- Now people will wonder what this has to do with the election fraud. Here it is in a nutshell. These people, along with ChoicePoint of Dallas, TX, are personal data miners. And Datamaxx is tied to Ohio law enforcement data bases and communications.

Where did the Katherine Harris get the info to throw all those African American voters off the rolls in 2000 in Florida? Public and commercial database records, everything from DMV files to education and insurance records. They red lined poor African American and working class white districts just like credit card and mortgage companies do. And how did they know where to put only 2 voting machines in polling places in Ohio for use by over 3000 voters? Same process. They red lined those districts and knew where to put the Election Day squeeze on.


Fundie churches with names like the Abundant Love Tabernacle and Fellowship Worship Center were great places to pull off this fraud with Blackwell's election officials conspiring with local fundie preachers. (Just a thought, if we have separation of church and state in this country, why the hell do we permit voting to take place in churches, especially where the preachers and lay leaders are corrupt and in on the fix?) Al Gore visited a Buddhist temple in California once and the right wing wanted him impeached!!

Datamaxx has Homeland Security contracts in Ohio, Florida, Iowa and West Virginia. In Ohio, they can send out homeland security alerts using computer networks and wireless PDAs. Guess what? All were swing states and in Warren County, Ohio an unofficial  "threat" was "transmitted" to Election Board HQ on Nov. 2. FBI and police said it wasn't them. Well, maybe it was Datamaxx using their retired FBI agents and cops (who were in cahoots with the fundies, Rapps of Triad, O'Dell at Diebold, Ahmanson and McCarthy Group of ES&S, and Blackwell and Taft GOP political machines in Columbus).

As for Seisint, where do they do most of their work? Boca Raton, Florida and Orlando, Florida. Boca is in good old Palm Beach County, where absentee ballots turned up missing before election day. And Orlando -- home of good ole Rep. Tom Feeney, chief touch screen vote rigging suspect and Yang lobbyist, as well as FL Secretary of State Glenda Hood (fitting name), former Mayor of Orlando. And Seisint's new corporate parent is based where? Lexis-Nexis is in Dayton, OHIO.

You see, the more the Bushes fire additional government insiders, the more stuff is leaked to me about this election fraud. This smoking gun is just a bit different than 2000. Instead of disenfranchising over 90,000 black voters in FL by calling them "felons" (and using ChoicePoint data base to do it), this time, the election voting machine companies (all run by extreme right-wing [Dominionist], "End Timers") conspired with the homeland security and other database firms -- all conveniently located in FL, OH, and TX -- to rig the vote.

Researchers should keep focusing on Yang, Seisint, Datamaxx, Accurint, Lexis-Nexis, Triad Government Systems, Diebold, Global Election System, Hart InterCivic, DBT Online and ChoicePoint.

The jury is still out on Affiliated Computer Systems (ACS) of Dallas, but a certain Stephen Goldsmith, former GOP Mayor of Indianapolis, may be into some dirty business there involving red lining districts with high college student voting population (Indiana, home of several large universities, may have had its vote "hacked" as well). Gary Webb was investigating ACS and contract fraud in CA when he committed suicide on Dec. 10.

We also know that Florida DOT investigator Ray Lemme committed suicide in 2003 when he was investigating fraud involving Yang and the FL state government. House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Executive Director John Millis committed suicide in 2000 when he was investigating CIA ties toLatin American drug cartels, links that involved the Bush family. State Dept. Iraq intelligence analyst John Kokal committed suicide in late 2003 after he questioned the attack on Iraq. Former CIA official Dr Gus Weiss committed suicide after he, too, questioned the attack on Iraq in late 2003. Dr David Kelly of Britain's MOD committed suicide after he questioned the validity of Iraq WMD reports. Danny Casolaro committed suicide in 1991 after he investigated Bush ties to weapons smuggling and drug deals. Paul Wilcher, a friend of Sarah McClendon, died in his apartment after he picked up on some of Casolaro's research. Charles Ruff and HPSCI's ranking member Julian Dixon dropped dead only weeks apart after being briefed by Millis on CIA-Bush-drug connection.

What was Gary Condit, also of HPSCI, briefed on by Millis? What did Condit tell his friend Chandra Levy, an intern for the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Or what did he ask her to find out for him through her Bureau contacts? John F Kennedy Jr was working on a Bush-CIA-covert ops story for his George Magazine when his plane crashed. And what did poor Lori Klausutis discover before her body was discovered in Jan. 2001 in the FL office of GOP Congressman Joe Scarborough (the MSNBC colleague of someone who has made it his cause to rip apart my reporting on this election story)? Cliff Baxter, chief Enron witness for the govt. shot himself before he testified. John Tower had the goods on the Bushes, but his commuter plane crashed and killed him, his daughter and several other passengers. Paul Wellstone and his family and staff? Mel Carnahan? Bush biographer JH Hatfield? Athan Gibbs, the founder of TruVote International, the only clean election  machine company. And the list goes on and on. At least those who are merely being fired -- the latest being the Pentagon's Jack Shaw, are getting the easier "treatment" from the Bush Mafia.

There were also anomalous Governor's Elections in Washington and Puerto Rico, where Democrats, expected to win handily, just squeaked through by a fraction of a percent. This is an indication of vote fixing a la FL in 2000 and Ohio, Iowa, NM in 2004. Elections that close with millions of people voting have never happened before in our nation's history.

Not only this last election but several previous ones were "fixed" by a dangerous group of right-wing ["Dominionists"] who dominate the election machine industry and various GOP Secretary of State and congressional offices.

They (known as "The Fellowship" ) have been planning this coup for a very long time but now that their "man" is in the White House they are not about to leave through a fair electoral process.

The Fellowship has some very unsavory founders -- all pro-Nazis: Abraham Vereide, Frank Buchman, and Gustav Gedat, J. Edgar Hoover and James Jesus Angleton were close to the Fellowship.

The use of prison ex-cons like Marion "JR" Horn in KY, John Elder and Jeffrey Dean in WA, and others in the financing and carrying out of the rigging, was mostly arranged through Chuck Colson's Prison Fellowship Ministries, an organization that has carte blanche access to anyone deemed of value, epecially computer programmers, after their incarceration and upon their release, especially if they promise service in return for parole.

It also helps that the Fellowship has established strong links to corrupt African governments via fundie missionaries. Guess who's largely behind the Nigerian scams to secretly move dirty oil money from oil-rich Nigeria (and Equatorial Guinea and Angola) into the funding corrupt election manipulators and Enron/Halliburton/AES scams? Some of those "419 emails" have been discovered by US intelligence to contain coded instructions to the money launderers and financial manipulators in the States and in off shore bank havens like the Bahamas and Tortola. The Nigerian scammers operate from the southern Christian south of the country (Lagos and the Niger River Delta) and are in league with fundie Church missions there and in the States.

The Fellowship is now trying to take over government boards in my county of Arlington, VA and are making a major power play in Annapolis, MD. Tom Feeney, Ashcroft, DeLay, Bush (Dubya and Jeb), Cheney, Sean O'Keefe, Condi Rice, John Bolton, Ed Meese, [Charles] Colson, Brownback, Ralph Reed, Frank Wolf, Ernie Fletcher, Katherine Harris, [Newt] Gingrich, JC Watts, Burr, Jindal, Lamar Smith, Zach Wamp, Scalia, Ensign, Kyl, [Kenneth]Blackwell, Bob Ehrlich, Karl Rove, Jack Kemp, James Baker, Clarence Thomas, Tom Coburn, Asa and Tim Hutchinson, Gens. Boykin and Myers, DeMint, Curt Weldon, Grover Norquist, George Allen, [Rick] Santorum, are all in this group. The late Lee Atwater was close to this group.

The Fellowship, which has strong links to the "Rev." Sun Myung Moon's Unification Church, operates in cells and not only takes over governments but also local church congregations to further their goals. Two local congegations taken over by the Fellowship are Falls Church Episcopal and Cherrydale Baptist. They also maintain the private Riverdell School, another way to brainwash young children who are not already being brainwashed by home schooling.

The Prime Minister of Norway has just been outed as a member of this group. In fact, most of the so-called "Coalition of the Willing" nations' leaders are members of The Fellowship, e.g., Tonga, Macedonia, Palau, Netherlands, Bulgaria, Lithuania, Solomon Islands, Uganda, Rwanda, Guatemala, El Salvador, Denmark, Romania, Iceland, Fiji, Georgia, Colombia, possibly also Howard of Australia and Blair of Britain.

The Fellowship believes that ANYTHING is permitted in order to bring about a 1000-yr Kingdom of Christ on Earth, and that includes stealing elections and even murder.

Some of the money used by the Fellowship to obtain real estate and maintain their group came from Saudi Arabia through lucrative defense contracts and pass throughs like the Islamic Institute.

There are links between the Fellowship and other northern Virginia groups  In their group homes in Arlington it is obvious they keep the troubled teens of GOP big businessmen and politicians out of sight through a combination of intensive Bible study and "drug treatement." Noelle Bush may have been one of their "Guests/Victims." There should be a focus on Infinity Software of Tallahassee, the place Noelle was put to work when she was busted for trying to illegally obtain prescription drugs in 2002. The Arlington VA Fellowship homes caused a stir in 2003 when one young resident broke into 4 homes in the neighborhood to steal prescription drugs. What is it that these young men and women are afraid of by doing anything to get their hands on Xanax and Valium? One of my neighbors said the teens appear to be unusually "expressionless" for people their age.

One of the really unplesant things about the Fellowship is that they have an international "Youth Corps," so these people don't appear to want to go out of business any time soon. This Youth Corps has a presence in almost every country, from Bhutan to Zambia and Brazil to Albania.

Infinity, like Datamaxx, has contracts with the FL Dept. of Law Enforcement and Dept of Education. FL state auditors chastised Gov. Jeb Bush and his administration for paying Infinity $7.5 million to set up a Web site and do another, much smaller, job in a no-bid contract. Infinity's owner, Tom Lynch, is a big Bush supporter who gave money to the governor's reelection campaign - $500 to Bush in 2002 and $1,000 to the Republican Party in 2001. Also seems that Infinity's contract had a nice little cut out for another company -- Ignite! of Houston, TX -- headed by Bush's brother Neil (of Silverado S&L criminal infamy).

I am getting great support from a number of people inside and outside the government who believe this group must be "outed" and dealt with as any other dangerous cult would be. These are not Jim Jones' followers or Marshall Applewhite's Heavens' Gate people we're talking about. These Fellowship people want to take us all with them. The earthquake and tsunami in the Indian Ocean is just what these people are waiting for -- the more death and destruction the better as far as they are concerned. I suggest we all work together and not against one another to expose these people. Those who hide behind the veil of "non-partisanship" should just keep quiet if they are not going to join the effort. We all have enough to do without incessant carping from those who believe it is wiser to sit on the sidelines. A re-read of William Shirer's "Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" may be in order for those who believe neutrality and non-partisanship is the better course. As the son of a WW II refugee from the Nazis, I can tell you that neutrality in times such as these just does not work and is definitely not advised.

Madsen: Church Polling Places Vulnerable to Dominionist Vote Riggers?

Madsen: Church Polling Places Vulnerable to Dominionist Vote Riggers?

Jesus said: “Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes, nor figs from thistles, are they? Even so, every good tree bears good fruit; but the bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good fruit. So then, you will know them by their fruits.” Matthew 7:15-18, 20 (NASB)

Wolves in the Sheep's Polling Places:
When I spoke to Votergate investigative reporter Wayne Madsen last week one of the most startling things that he pointed out is that since so many polling places are at churches, Dominionist cult members who frequently pose as fundamentalist Christians (which they actually are not) and infiltrate churches would have easy access to voting machines. His speculation is that no one would suspect that election fraud would take place in a church and would never think to investigate there.

How much fraudulent voting machine tampering took place this way we will probably never know, but because this election stealing likely took place on multiple levels with the individuals largely unaware of the actions of others who were helping, even fraud participants might discount the enormous impact of their collective actions and could therefore easily convince themselves that their little cheating was both a) justifiable (ie. they did it for "god" and "god's chosen leader", Bush) and b) wasn't that big of a deal since the popular vote (likely also fraudulently altered) went in favor of Bush. Furthermore because those of us who are Christians have become accustomed to apologizing for the over the top excesses of bozo NeoFascist Dominionists like Falwell and Robertson in the mistaken impression that they are Christians so we don't think to suspect them of this monsterous theft of our freedom. Chilling!

Check fellow Kossak galiel's Nov 4th Diary on the subject

"This is not about Republicans or Democrats.
This is not about the war.
This is not about the economy.
This is not even about counting the votes.
This is the final step in the 20-year creeping coup by the theocrats, the Dominionists."

"Make no mistake, this election was the keystone of the theocrat coup. All that is left now is carrying out the agenda and changing the laws of this nation irrevocably to gut the Bill of Rights and establish a Dominionist government in America."

"I warned before the election that they were one victory away, and that they would win no matter what the actual vote was, because they are zealots who would do anything to win, including fraud on a massive scale that folks here just don't want to even conceive, because they have never looked radical religious extremism in the face the way I have, having lived in Israel for 13 years in the past.

The theocrats will not be stopped, because Americans refuse to believe that it could happen here."

"Wake up, America!
...
That is because you still think this is just a struggle between two competing parties in a democracy. That is because you just don't get it.

This was a coup"

They Stole Election! Dominionist NeoFascist Cult - Antidemocratic : Axis of Logic articlesby JamBoi

Thu Dec 30th, 2004 at 19:18:22 PSTFrom recent Axis of Logic articles re: the threat of NeoFascism on our constitutional democracy under the guise of Dominionist cult. (Emphasis by bolding and parenthesized editorial notes are mine):

Living Under Fascism
By Rev Davidson Loehr
"...America must become a theocracy under the control of ... Dominionists. Robertson is on record saying democracy is a terrible form of government unless it is run by (Dominionists)."


Ohio Vote Fraud Battle Heats Up
By Katherine Yurica
"If the Rev. Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson and other leaders of the Dominionist movement tell Americans that it is all right for Mr. Bush to take the oath of office even if he is not the duly elected president-elect, then Americans have lost their spiritual and moral compass beyond anything any of us could imagine. For one thing, it dooms Mr. Bush to a cloud of suspicion. Republicans ought more than anyone to insist that all the votes be counted."


Backward Christian Soldiers
By Robyn E. Blumnet
"What we are experiencing is the rise of Dominion ... ideology says (Dominionists) must begin to take over all secular institutions of government, reclaiming them for (the Dominionist cultic version of Jesus Christ). It is seen as a readying for the (Dominionist's cultic version of the) Second Coming. See http://www.theocracywatch.org for more information.
"Our aim is to gain dominion over society," Pat Robertson told a gathering in 1984. He later described how this would be accomplished: By gaining a working control of the Republican Party.

And they've succeeded.

In 2004, 41 out of 51 Republican senators were given 100 percent ratings by the (Dominionist) Christian Coalition for their votes on behalf of fundamentalist issues. Meanwhile, 31 out of 48 Democrats scored zero. Similar splits can be found in the House, where Minority Leader Tom DeLay expressly uses dominionist language.
During a "Worldview Weekend" conference in 2002, he said: "(God) is using me, all the time, everywhere, to stand up for a biblical worldview in everything that I do.""

News: Election 2004: President Bush to Be Subpoenaed; Blackwell Tries to Avoid Sworn Testimony; Over a Dozen Members of Congress to Challenge Election
By ADVOCATE STAFF

In a sign that Votergate news stories will soon become impossible for the mainstream media to ignore, news of ground-breaking developments in the national scandal is now coming so fast and so furiously through internet channels that The Advocate strains to report it all in a timely fashion. Indeed, even an Associated Press article now being carried by all major media outlets, auspiciously entitled "Ohio Recount Ends, Shows Vote Closer," states clearly that "[t]he completion of the recount will not bring an end to questions surrounding the vote in Ohio. A group of voters citing fraud have challenged the election results with the Ohio Supreme Court....[and] the Government Accountability Office, an arm of Congress, also is investigating election problems."

According to the Columbus Free Press, those voters contesting the presidential election in Ohio at the state level have, with legal representation from Alliance for Democracy, scheduled depositions of the President, Vice-President, and the so-called "architect" of the Bush-Cheney 2004 campaign, Karl Rove, for today and tomorrow. An Ohio attorney representing the three men, Kurt Tunnell, claims that the three have not yet been properly served; according to the contestors, the Republican-dominated Ohio Supreme Court bears a legal obligation to serve the necessary subpoenas.

News reports indicate the Court has failed to do so thus far.

Meanwhile, Ohio Republican Secretary of State J. Kenneth Blackwell, who has -- in unsworn statements on television and in print -- termed Ohio's 2004 election "absolutely inspiring," failed to appear for sworn testimony relating to the election. What appeared in his place, instead, was an Expedited Motion for Protective Order seeking to prevent him from ever having to give any "inspiring" testimony under oath.
Which is to say, under penalty of perjury.

Election Defrauding RW Dominionist Cult Anti-Jesus at Core

Election Defrauding RW Dominionist Cult Anti-Jesus at Core

Sat Dec 25th, 2004 at 22:06:50 PST

As reported in my previous diaries, Wayne Madsen is looking into the connecting link between the various conspirators who rigged our election being the fanatical fascistic right wing cult of Dominionism. While this secretive and devious cult is busy infiltrating the conservative fundamentalist wing of the Christian church, Dominionism in many respects very similar to the right wing Unification Church Moonie cult, is in reality diametrically opposed to the essence of Christianity and the very person Christians consider their God/human originator: Jesus. On this Christmas Day I turn to sort out the true meaning of Chistmas from the parasitic imposter attempting to hijack not only our election, but our culture and our very way of life.

Diaries :: JamBoi's diary ::

Why take up space in a progressive political diary like dK examining what would appear to be at first a strictly academic theological discussion? Because I believe on this celebration day of Jesus' birthday it is absolutely not a strictly academic theological discussion and that every liberal democrat needs to understand the insidious threat this monstrous deceit holds for our constitutional democracy. It was through very similar infiltrative action that the Nazis in the Third Reich invaded, divided, decimated and neutralized the moderating force that genuine Jesus-imitating love-oriented Christians would otherwise have exerted when the crisis came for the Weimar Republic. If we play into the Dominionists hands by rejecting the genuine charity-focused Christians of various political stripes we'll unecessarily alienate those of the conservative and moderate politics and drive them into the arms of the hate-oriented crypto-fascist Dominionst cult.

There is dangerous ignorance floating about in the progressive community using oxymoronic terms like "Christian Fascist." Fascists are not genuine Christians and genuine Christians who follow Jesus could never ever be Fascists.

Jesus taught us to turn the other cheek, that the meek would inherit the Earth and that the two most important principles of life were to love God, and to love ourselves and each other. He taught us to pray for our enemies and that his spiritual kingdom was more powerful than any nation-state. Jesus taught us that love and charity are the essence of God's desire for the planet and that hate, petty anti-humanistic religiousity and nationalism as religion are abhorrent to God. Through non-violent resistance he was martyred by the Roman imperialists and their puppet right-wing religious bureaurcracy.

What does Dominionism which promotes unjust laws, censureship, ultra-nationalism, imperialism, slavery, violence, and death have to do with the life- and truth-giving generosity of Jesus? Nothing! These are poles apart and should never be confused. To lump Dominionism together with Christianity is the largest mistake a sincere constittuional democratic could make when assessing contemporary American politics. Anyone who tries to tell you that ultimate Love is in anyway related to maximal Hate needs to be immediately challenged and set straight. Hitler was never a Christian and don't let anyone lie to you about that. He was an anti-Christ(ian) and those that follow in his steps are just as anti-Love as he was.

The following post from DU by NAO is exactly right, not even most conservative Christians have awoken to this encroaching cultic danger. But all of us need to wake up to it right now! Thank you for reading my passionate appeal.

Merry Christmas and Season's Greetings to one and all!

23. Dominionism - Hidden Agenda of the Religious Right
It is impossible to make sense of the political ambitions of the religious right without understanding the information revealed in the articles below. It is NOT just about Christians voting their values. Most Christians, if given the complete information and time to reflect, would reject this agenda.

Mainstream and even some Fundamentalist Christians have been deceived and are being used to promote this agenda. Even true Fundamentalist Christians would not support this program if they understood it, because it is contrary to the teachings of Jesus Christ. The rise to political power of the Evangelical right is not just an unfortunate coincidence or even a spontaneous popular movement. It is a well planned, well executed power-grab with a very disturbing agenda.

Madsen: Dominionist Religious Cult Behind Nationwide Election Fraud(?)

Madsen: Dominionist Religious Cult Behind Nationwide Election Fraud(?)

by JamBoi

Wed Dec 22nd, 2004 at 20:35:04 PST
I had the privilege to talk to investigative reporter Wayne Madsen recently and found that his Votergate 2004 investigation has taken an interesting turn.  He now strongly suspects that a number of interlocking networks of 1) true-believing religious right Dominionists, 2) PNAC NeoConservatives and 3) cynical corporate greedheads (I'm borrowing that apt term from Bruce Cockburn) have come together to perpetrate amazingly widespread vote rigging.  He believes the election fraud was so widespread that it not only tipped the election in Ohio in favor of Bush, but actually padded the national popular vote in favor of Bush and turned a number of U.S. Senate and House races in favor of the Republican contestants.

A fitting introduction to this new line of investigation comes from a recent e-mail Madsen sent me regarding this unholy alliance:

Madsen's e-mail:

I covered Rwanda genocide and Middle East terrorism but never encountered anything as crazy as these people.

Its not a straight interview format, but rather includes my personal input into where this investigation is going. When I use the word "I" below I mean me, JamBoi. In this way I'll try to distinguish in my writing between my contributions and what Madsen has come up with.

What would motivate these seemingly disparate groups to work together?
The connection that between these various groups seems to be the attitude that "might makes right" or "the end justifies the means". While the Dominionists are austensibly highly religious and one might think therefore highly ethical, aparently the philosophical or theological conviction that Christs' return and reign must play out in the near term exactly as they interpret the Bible, even if that requires that they manipulate history, lie, cheat and steal to ensure it. The PNACer NeoCon and cynical corporate greedhead elements looking to create an American new World Order and profit from it are less mysterious, more familiar to liberals and therefore requires less explanation to this audience.

Okay, what happens when you slam these three sets of Wing nuts together? 1) A mix of fanatical, no-holds-barred wackiligious, 2) PNAC/NeoCon cynical crypto- and outright fascist (ie. G. Gordon Liddy) types and 3) the corporate uber alles types. And all three's interests seem to coincide in the re-election of Bush by any means necessary. Voila. Exreme ideologues all. Delusion-based rather than reality-based. The bottom line on the this alliance's outlook seems to be something to the effect that we can alter reality to align with our ideals if we apply enough belief and force (and perhaps in this case outright election fraud).

Madsen's thinking is that there may not be one giant conspiracy involved here, but rather interelated small conspiracies that spontaneously spring up and happen to have similar aims and methods. A sort of organic coincidental conspiracy if you will. (Now we can get both the Coincidence Theorists and the Conspiracy Theorists together on the same page). :-) Structuraly these folks ironically would have a very similar networking structure as Al Queda and other revolutionary groups. Few would know much beyond their little picture or have insight into the extent of penetration or the corruption of their actions. In this scenario even many of the folks involved in it would not believe the overall effect and might even tend to dismiss it as "conspiracy theory."

Where I (JamBoi) am coming from on the religious question:
First in the interests of full disclosure I need to explain something. I'm in extreme pain to have to report these disturbing allegations. Why? Because I myself am an Evangelical Christian. I am among tne of the 30% Progressive Evangelical Christians of the same ilk as Jim Wallace of Sojourners or Tony Campolo or the folks at LiberalsLikeChrist, or the UCC running their inclusivity ads right now. My heroes other than Jesus are C.S. Lewis, Detrich Bonhoeffer, MLK, Bishop Tutu, and Gandhi. I have extensive ties and history also with my more conservative and even fundamentalist Christian Evangelical bretheren and sisteren and am no knee-jerk liberal. Other heroes of mine include Billy Graham, Jim Elliot and many others. It is deeply ingrained in me to try to walk the middle way, the "via media" as the Anglican church calls it. Therefore as a "radical moderate" and Born Again believer in Jesus I have ties across the board with Eastern Orthodox, Roman Catholic as well as Protestant, Charismatic and Pentacostal. I believe in the full body of Christ working together, no matter what the denominational stylistic concerns to reflect God's love to all people everywhere. Therefore I can not help but regard at least the sincere believers that are caught up in this craziness as misguided brothers and sisters of mine. It gives me absolutely NO PLEASURE whatsoever to call these people out on the carpet. My attitude is consistently to give folks the benefit of the doubt until they earn distrust. I was even reluctant to oppose the likes of Falwell until his words and actions went so far that I can no longer see how his philosophy, theology and practice are connected with Jesus.

Therefore in this article and in my writing in general I will refrain from calling these folks "Christian" as I don't see the connection between Jesus Christ and what they are up to. I do not wish to judge their salvation state, but I must call into question their thinking and acting which is endangering the underpinnings of our constitutional democracy. Therefore throughout my writings on these groups of people I will not honor them with terms like "Christian" or "Evangelical" or even "Fundamentalist" anything, but rather pin them with titles I think more accurately portray their far, far out extremeist views, like "Wackiligious" or at most "Religious Right." Probably the most accurate term is simply "Dominionist", or Reconstructionist. I know all too well that by far most folks in the Evangelical and even Fundamentalist camps have nothing to do with these wackos and have probably never even heard of them as even I hadn't until recently. Like all groups the right wing of the Christian church is a subspectrum of the larger spectrum of Christians and it would be grossly unfair, innacurate and destructive if we were to paint everyone on the right side of the aisle with a single broad brush. Its the Dominionists that are the problem here. Admittedly they are having an effect way beyond their numbers by hijacking the right. So if we can precisely target this particular dangerous strain we can win friends and influence people without alienating and destroying the millions of innocent conservatives completely unaware of this insidious disease. We must avoid "collateral damage" in our incinderiary bomb throwing.

If readers will do research into Dominionism they'll find out just how nutty these wackiligious types are and how dangerous their ideas could be. I have some starter references below in this article. Researching the NeoCons and PNAC will yeild similar fright. Unfortunately these are the folks that are in power right now and may have gotten there through fraudulent means.

Madsen's Investigation Points:
The Prison Connection:
The place that these three strains may come together ironically is in prison! Many may recall the prison ministries of Chuck Colson and others. It severely depresses me to speculate that it may just possible that impressionable newly Born Agains in prisons are being recruited. Recruited and swept back into nefarious plots to force-function their literalistic understanding of the End Times, the Anti-Christ and the Millenium and The Rapture. More on this connection later...

"The Family" connection:
There is a group called "The Fellowship" or "The Family" which sponsors the national and state Prayer Breakfasts. He said that the group started in the 1930's and over time has grown into a Dominionist power house. He said its managed to keep an extremely low profile while creating an extensive behind the scenes network that reaches into a mind-boggling number of nooks and crannies. He mentioned Meese and Ashcroft as being members. If I remember right I think he mentioned Feeney and De Lay also as being members (and they are prominent drivers behind the election fraud in his view).

Dominionist Role in this:
Madsen is wondering if we can help the research effort by digging up connections between the various voting machine companies and the Dominionists. For example Rapp with Triad, O'Dell with Diebold and Ahmanson of ES&S. We can help him and our selves by exploring any possible Dominionist connections with these members of the voting machine Co.s.

As BartBoris mentions in his comments below, Katherine Yurica writes a chilling account in
The Despoiling of America: How George W. Bush became the head of the new American Dominionist Church/State. She describes how Dominionists who have come to embrace the most anti-Jesus, Machiavelian philosophy imaginable by the likes of PNACer Michael Ledeen and his bud Pat Robertson and describes the philosophical underpinnings of the NeoCons and Dominionists as provided by Leo Straus.


Here's a post on DU that further describes this article:

63355, Republican Dominionist rulers
Posted by sattahipdeep on Mon Jul-19-04 09:16 AM
This article is the documented story of how a political religious movement called Dominionism gained control of the Republican Party, then took over Congress, then took over the White House, and now is sealing the conversion of America to a theocracy by taking over the American Judiciary. It’s the story of why and how the wrath of God Almighty will be unleashed against the middle class, against the poor, and against the elderly and sick of this nation by George W. Bush and his army of Republican Dominionist rulers.


"The Lord has just blessed him," Robertson said of Bush. "I mean, he could make terrible mistakes and comes out of it. It doesn't make any difference what he does, good or bad, God picks him up because he's a man of prayer and God's blessing him."

Ledeen writes:

Just as the quest for peace at any price invites war and, worse than war, defeat and domination, so good acts sometimes advance the triumph of evil, as there are circumstances when only doing evil ensures the victory of a good cause. (p. 93)

I don't have a link off the top of my head, but I recently saw a talk by Mark Crispin Miller on C-SPAN book events that went into these very same scarey people. Here's an article by progressive Christians explaining the unholy link between Dominionim, PNACers, Machiavelli, Straus:

FBI Direct Quote: Torture "authorized by President"

FBI Direct Quote: Torture "authorized by President"

by JamBoi

Tue Dec 21st, 2004 at 23:24:46 PST

Looking at one of the FBI e-mails the ACLU has obtained by FoIA I encourage you to look at it for yourself. I found two direct quotes that really opened my eyes:
"The things our personnel witnessed (but did not participate in) were authorized by the President under his Executive Order."
and again:

"We are aware that prior to the revision in policy last week, an Executive Order signed by President Bush authorized the following interrogation techniques among others..." (followed by list of descipable unthinkable techniques that no patriotic American should ever be caught dead involved in).

Tied Directly to Bush according to the FBI.
See also this CBS/AP report. (ADDRESS CORRECTED)

Please take my poll re: Did Bush personally sign the Executive Order for Torture? (Gee is he really the original "torture guy" rather than Gonzales?) JamBoi's diary ::

Connecting Madsen's Dots, part II: Russian Programmer/Techs

Connecting Madsen's Dots, part II: Russian Programmer/Techs

by JamBoi

Sat Dec 18th, 2004 at 20:45:24 PST
There's a number of Madsens dots to be connected, but personally I'm most interested in the actual programmer/techs who did the rigging itself, so let me start there. Madsen thinks Russian expats were heavily involved. I'll post on the other "dots" in later diaries.
[JamBoi's note:
I think its absolutely necessary to exercise healthy skepticism in these matters. We don't know which parts of Madsen's narrative will be solidly validated and which parts will prove fleeting, and that's a point that all of us need to keep in mind. ] :: JamBoi's diary :: Madsen wrote: "Russian hackers were definitely involved I'm told.

(snip)
It is the Russians who are key.
(snip)
I need to find out if any election techs/ programmers were illegal Russian nationals working here or if they are Russian Green Card holders in the US, if they ever worked for Enron in Houston."
Here are some points that research has turned up. Some (or possibly even all) of these may turn out to be dead ends.:

• The largest employer of Russian expat computer programmers in Houston was Enron.
  
• Rumor has it that some of these programmers/techs worked at Enron before they worked at a subcontractor for Diebold.
  
• Enron files still have contact for these Russians.
  
  
• Horn is connected to a Bush money tranchant used by Houston politicos.
  
• Horn served as a decoy with the phony $29 Mil check which was supposed to look like it was the money to pay the grumbling unpaid programmer/techs.
  
• Meanwhile in the background NASA Houston contracts were used to funnel money to develop vote rigging software and to pay the Russian programmers via NASA Chief Sean O'Keefe - Cheney's buddy.
  
• There's some kind of connection between Five Star and the programmers who rigged the election.
  
• Native Dallas son Oliver Buck Revell runs Vancouver (BC, CA) based Imagis and there is said to be a connection involving Revell, Imagis, Vancouver and the Diebold Russian election programmers.
  

[JamBoi Note: I'm likely update this diary at a later point with additional points, links and such. If so I'll note it here and also in later diaries so that folks will need to revisit this diary to gather it all in.]

Connecting Madsen's Dots, part I: My Approach

Connecting Madsen's Dots, part I: My Approach

by JamBoi

Sat Dec 18th, 2004 at 12:00:40 PST
I must confess that I do not have the mental facility that a person like Wayne Madsen has to do the whodunnit, clue, connect-the-dots thing. I am good at spotting things that are of significance, but I'm perhaps not the greatest at putting all the points together. I'm slow at some realizations that come naturally and quickly to even maybe most others, and very quick to pick up on things that most others miss. Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses.

:: JamBoi's diary :: So while I have a lot of data from WM, I must be honest and say up front that I don't know how or if these dots will be validated or be deadends or simply fictions. Nevertheless I feel they are far too important to not be examined, so I feel compelled to put them out to be looked at. I'm still learning the best way to communicate that my attitude is one of what I believe to be healthy skepticism. I try to balance both earned trust with self-preserving skepticism. I fully agree that if WM's charges are true they are really far more monstrous than anything I previously would or could have entertained. It would amount to what I'm calling "SloMoCoup II", the first being 2000 (though I realize the implication that other "coups" like JFK may prove out also if this current scandal is true).

So what I'm trying to do here in this blog is to assemble the dots as best I understand them. Some of them no doubt will prove to be unfruitfull dead ends, red herrings, or downright disinformation that others have fed Wayne Madsen. Nevertheless in my contact with WM I have come to trust him at least to the extent that I believe he's got something important to say and its worth at least taking a look at.

I'm still trying to figure out how DK technology works and the community standards, so please have patience with me as I stumble in through your door. I hope I will not serve to bring your standards down but will learn and adapt to your customs here. Please forgive me as I try to "learn your ropes". I will endevour to present the "dots" in a cold, clear, objective analytical light and let the readers take it for what its worth or ignore it as they see fit.

What I want to do in this series (Connecting Madsen's Dots) is to give the overarching themes. That was proved extremely difficult for me to do amongst the dynamic thread message board technology that DU uses and I was hoping to do some of this at Demopedia, but unless/until I recieve posting privileges back there I'll have to do what I can here. I think in some ways this might work even better anyway for certain things so I'll give it whirl.

Enjoy your Saturday!

Votergate: The Russian Connection, part I: Kantorovich (updated)

(Updated w/ new link at bottom) Rumors have it that the programmers and techs that actually did the Votergate programming on the Diebold and other voting machines were Russian expatriates.  In this series we'll explore this possibility. This quote from a 2002 article:
"As far as we know, some guy from Russia could be controlling the outcome of computerized elections in the United States."

Elections In America - Assume Crooks Are In Control
by Lynn Landes
(snip)
"As far as we know, some guy from Russia could be controlling the outcome of computerized elections in the United States."
(snip)
In fact, Vikant Corp., a Chicago-area company owned by Alex Kantarovich, formerly of Minsk, Belorussia (also known as White Russia, formerly U.S.S.R.), supplies the all-important 'control cards' to Election Systems & Software (ES&S), the world's largest election management company, writes reporter Christopher Bollyn. According to ES&S, they have "handled more than 40,000 of the world's most important events and elections. ES&S systems have counted approximately 60% of the U.S. national vote for the past four presidential elections. In the U.S. 2000 general election, ES&S systems counted over 100 million ballots."

Getting back to Kantarovich, he would not disclose where the control cards are made, except they aren't made in America, writes Bollyn. Nor would he discuss his previous employment. Bollyn says he got some not-too-thinly-veiled threats from Kantarovich.
Kantarovich sounds more like the Russian mafia, than a legitimate businessman.
(snip)
That's just great. Now, we could possibly have both the Russian mafia and the U.S. mafia involved in our elections.

Bush's High Crimes: Replaying Madsen's 4th Votergate Story

by JamBoi

Fri Dec 17th, 2004 at 15:57:00 PST
Replaying Wayne Madsen's very long, detailed and very damning 4th article re: Votergate. Especially enjoyable are the last few paragraphs discussing what Madsen terms "high crimes" that he alleges the * folks have committed. This article focuses primarily on past elections, that lead back to the White House and the Florida governor. Note that Madsen claims the disaffected CIA is behind these leaks in attempt to bring down *.

JamBoi's note:
I think its absolutely necessary to exercise
healthy skepticism in these matters. We don't know which parts of Madsen's narrative will be solidly validated and which parts will prove fleeting, and that's a good point that you make that all of us need to keep this in mind. I've decided to put the Madsen theories here in this blog at DailyKoss and put my Recount04 reportingover at my blog at http://jamboi.mydd.com . Thanks!

(snip)

The story of this corruption is nothing new. What is new is the purpose. The use of this old and covert tranche of money for a special Bush operation to deny the American people their right to a free and fair vote was not the typical illegal sale of arms to a terrorist nation, the overthrow of a foreign government, or the payment of bribes to foreign potentates. It was a high crime in every constitutional sense. The target was the American political system and not just in 2004 but also in 2003, 2002, and 2000. The scandal goes right up to the White House and the Governor's Mansion in Tallahassee. It involves an extremely crooked Florida national politician and other Florida state government officials. And, as with all modern American political scandals, we have at least one dead body, a number of whistleblowers and anonymous "Deep Throats," powerful but corrupt politicians, counterfeit and real documents, con men, and a money trail tied to off-shore foreign bank accounts.

People may wonder why a group of intelligence insiders would come forward to a non-major media outlet with such tantalizing information at this time. The corporate-beholden media cannot be trusted to report such a news story. A common theme from all the intelligence and ex-intelligence officials with whom I have communicated is that George W. Bush made a major mistake in attacking and purging the clandestine service of the CIA. The "agency," which extends far beyond the confines of Langley, Virginia, is having its revenge. It has willingly exposed a portion of a traditional clandestine CIA money route to expose the vote scam that was used to ensure Bush's election.
