Murdoch's Minions Helped Steal 2000 Election for Bush Email Print

The same Rupert Murdoch Fox team headed by network boss Roger Ailes not only helped fan the flames for the invasion of Iraq.  It was necessary first to install the right trusted neoconservative team in the White House and this was accomplished through stealing the election for George W. Bush.

With Florida regarded as the crucial state that would provide the election winner and keys to the White House in 2000, the Republican team had a trump card in place with Bush's younger brother Jeb serving as Florida's governor.  By scrubbing numerous minorities legitimately qualified to vote from voters' lists on grounds that they were felons, the Bush clan felt it was in good shape where the Sunshine State was concerned.

As the Bush brothers and father sat in their hotel suite election night, shock waves emerged when it was announced that Florida had been projected into  Gore's column.  Shortly thereafter a first in presidential election politics occurred.  The three Bushes were shown in their suite.  An obviously pre-arranged script was followed and it was simple enough that even George W. was able to follow it.

Media Snake Oil: Orwell's Prophesies Revealed Email Print

It was 1948 when British author George Orwell's alarming view of life in the future was presented in the chilling novel "1984."  Orwell inverted the last two numbers as he wrote about a society existing 36 years into the future.

Robert Kane Pappas brings the story forward 20 years to 2004, when his penetrating documentary "Orwell Rolls in His Grave" was released.  This is the year of a presidential contest between two former Yale University Skull and Bones members that resulted in what serious experts who have carefully studied the November presidential election concluded was a stolen result.

It is to be noted that rigged elections have been an active part of election machinery in dictatorships.  Pappas' film represents a stern warning about what would culminate that November, followed quickly by Skull and Bonesman John Kerry conceding to George W. Bush, later explaining that he did not want to be perceived as a "sore loser."  

The Kerry "explanation" reeked of absurdity on its face.  Four years earlier two deciding votes of the Federalist Society wing of the U.S. Supreme Court "installed" Bush as the nation's chief executive after thousands of African Americans in Florida had been denied the right to vote and Al Gore had secured more popular votes than his rival.
