24. Ted Koppel READ MY POST TO DU opening the show - re FOCUS FOCUS etc.
(thanks to intensitymedia)

Hey Folks -

Not to bang the drum, but I was rather surprised this evening, settling back with a bottle of low-priced California Merlot, to survey the depredations upon the truth that ABC News and Ted Koppel were about to inflict on the American psyche on the Ohio Vote Fraud story, when I hear Ted read, with NO attribution, read: (perhaps not exact, I don't have their text yet - this is the substance as an example of wacko conspiracy theories questioning the election of our American Mussolini:

Ted reads:

"We are facing what appears to be a sinister, Stalin-esque conspiracy by all the networks and major newspapers to "shield" Americans from the potentially disturbing information that a neo-fascist tyranny has been imposed upon us by the treasonous and criminal theft of the 2004 election."

Yep folks, thing is you didn't need to waste your time waiting up to listen to ABC News, Nightline, or even broadcast television (I'm sure you've all canceled your cable accounts by now), because that quote, friends and radicals, appeared days ago on DemocraticUnderground.com.

Just for the record, I'll repost the entire letter for "context" (Omigod, they've taken me out of context!) just for the record. Because I was going for the jugglar, and knew we had to concentrate on the pressure point which would bring down the fascist house of cards.



FOCUS! FOCUS! FOCUS! It’s the Exit Polls Stupid!


Fellow activists!

We are being made dumb, dizzy and mindless by the MSM in general, and in particular by its refusal even to discuss - let alone release - the NEP/Mitofsky exit polling data, showing discrepancies that are greater than in the Ukraine, and showing in Steven Freeman's analysis that Bush's "win" in Ohio and elsewhere was and is a statistical impossibility.

In other words, it didn't happen.

We have to raise hell about this, and never stop.

Why? ***We are facing what appears to be a sinister, Stalin-esque conspiracy by all the networks and major newspapers to "shield" Americans from the potentially disturbing information that a neo-fascist tyranny has been imposed upon us by the treasonous and criminal theft of the 2004 election.***

Despite all their efforts to censor this information, the Exit Poll data has been available online, a pro-freedom-of-the-press whistleblowing coup that, to my mind, is as historically important as the publication of the Pentagon Papers or even more important.

Send your friends and neighbors to:

and here for the complete data

as well as to Freeman's analyses:

I suggest that we find as many ways as we can to take this explosive, smoking gun proof of election fraud and force EVERYONE to confront what it says, and what it means. To me, this is our greatest weapon, and square one of our battle to throw the bums out, making sure that the recent a travesty of democracy we’ve been subject to in 2004 never occurs again in the Land of the (formerly) Free.

peace - but never give up the struggle -

Che



of course, Koppel never mentioned my central, and most powerful point, arguing for the reification of the Exit Polls as our greatest political weapon to take apart the fascist conspiracy which has hijacked America.

Love and peace - hail the sixties - but never give up the struggle -

Che de Vera

Sorry, the sound is low. Just turn up the volume if you care what he is saying.
