Why no coverage of this?
GAO Report Confirms Key 2004 Stolen Election Findings
As a legal noose appears to be tightening around the Bush/Cheney/Rove inner circle, a shocking government report shows the floor under the legitimacy of their alleged election to the White House is crumbling.
The latest critical confirmation of key indicators that the election of 2004 was stolen comes in an extremely powerful, penetrating report from the General Accounting Office that has gotten virtually no mainstream media coverage.

The sublimation of Bush- From william Shatner, through Milli Vanilli, to the guy who shows up at a party with dog shit on his shoes…

I’m waiting to see where that goes $cam. Unfortunately the main bloggers are to varying degrees in bed w/the Party, so they’ve never been doing their job on that. I heard recent interview w/Bob Fitrakis who said Party was furious that they (Bob, etc.) challenged the last Coup.
Speaking of Delegitimizing the Foundations of this cabal, new interview up w/Karen Kwiatkowski. I wasn’t sure if she had the courage to challenge the official 911 Cover-up. She asks some interesting questions….like why weren’t there aircraft parts in front of the Pentagon. From her vantage point of knowing a fair amount of about Military Exercises, she notes that There Are Always Contingency Plans should a Perverse Real World Crisis Occur!! link

@ JJ
Yeah, Karen K. is another one of those (I assume) Republicans with whom I feel much more solidarity than the
“safe” Democrats. I would be interested in hearing reactions to NIST report On the collapse of the World Trade Center buildings. I have only glanced at it, but would be very interested in a serious critique (or appreciation) of
their work. A priori NIST is an organization that I deem worthy of respect, so if they debunk the “controlled demolition” theories I would tend to accept their conclusions, at least in the absence of equally
weighty counter-arguments.

I still think that we know little of the truth regarding 9/11, and can scarsely immagine a CIA approved house-cleaning thorough enough to dispel the cobweb of falsities and official myths. This will necessarily be the task of outsiders.

HKOL, I was resistant for a long time, but finally came around to agreeing that the internal demolition argument is the most plausible.
1)Did you see photos of the burning skyscraper in Spain – burned for a week? No steel framed sky scraper has ever come down due to fire. Much less in ~1 hr.
2) Have you ever seen photos of a building that was professionally demolished? I happened to catch photos of Coliseum in Seattle that was demolished. It looked identical to WTC.
3) Not only did it collapse in a ridiculously short time, but it fell at almost free fall speeds. That means no internal resistance. That could only have happened if the steel beams had been destroyed.
4) The notion that beams were destroyed is borne out by the Tapes just released from the firemen in the buildings. They tell of explosions going off all over the place, which would have been essential under the demolition hypothesis.
5) Someone online did a calculation of how much energy was required to pulverize the building. It is wayyyy more than anything available w/out positing further energy sources.

linked from ‘humint events online’, the original is very hard to read.
A Great, Must-Read But Loooooong and Very Detailed Analysis of the Collapse of WTC I
“This paper analyzes the first moments of the WTC 1 collapse on 9-11. Phenomena are documented that is impossible to explain by a natural gravity collapse and point to the use of high explosives. Discussion focuses on the top 13 floors, 110-98, and the collapse of floors 97, 96, 95, and 94. Features of the fires, the behavior of collapse, and the produced clouds are looked at in detail. It would be helpful for you to review the NIST final report before continuing since this paper assumes you have some knowledge of the WTC1 collapse.”

Really OTT for Bernhard
From this week’s Popbitch

>> Don’t mention the war << England's World Cup embarrassment Currently doing the rounds of the record labels in London is a demo for England's World Cup song for Germany 2006. There's apparently a lot of interest. The song? It's called "Who do you think you are kidding, Mr Klinsmann?" A new, jingoistic version of the Dad's Army theme tune. Ant & Dec are being approached to sing it, with Gazza, Amir Khan and Peter Kaye the main targets for the video. Makes you proud to be English...

$cam, on one of the NYTimes Board of Directors web pages (http://www.nytco.com/company-directors-wekennard.html) we find that “William E. Kennard was elected to the Board of Directors of The New York Times Company in 2001. Mr. Kennard joined The Carlyle Group, a private equity firm, in May 2001 as a managing director in the global telecommunications and media group…” No doubt this person has something to do with coverage of the GAO report at NYTimes.

Thanks for that tidbit: Q.E.D.

@Uncle,
The article you link you, sadly, only indicates the possibility that the election could have been stolen, not that the election was actually stolen. I’m certain if the report did penetrate the media, we would be treated to a litany of conservatives who were shocked – SHOCKED! – that voting machines were so insecure, but naturally, the uncorrupt administration wouldn’t have even considered using the machines to win the election.
I’ll poke through the report to see if there’s any indication otherwise, but right now, it appears there’s nothing like “proof.”
