Wellstone Accused of Voter Fraud, Threatened with Death, Day before His Plane Crash
By: emptywheel Monday October 25, 2010 11:57 am

There’s absolutely no reason to think that the barely literate postcard sent to Paul Wellstone’s office the day before his plane crash had anything to do with his death.

"We know your system for voters. It won’t work. You have been targeted. We need to gut the word out for the snipper to go after people like you, not real Americans. This card is for you pimps to read “Dead Man Walking!” I have cousin at UMN Inside info this voter fraud you propose will get you dead. MC"

1. Nope, none at all.

It could have been sent by an airplane mechanic. Or someone that knew how to sabotage airplanes.

2. Interesting perspective in Emptywheel's comments section:

Everybody, if Wellstone was taken out by U.S. Intelligence, wouldn’t they make sure letters like this existed, in case the operation went wrong and they needed to come up with a patsy real quick

Anybody remember the Anthrax letters

“Allah is Great” etc

They were fake and diversionary.

Of the multiple government documents connecting GHWB to the JFK assasination, one of them was an FBI document citing a phone call Bush made to the agency expressing his belief that a young right winger he knew might have been responsible for the assasination. The call also served the purpose of placing Bush in Terry, Texas, far away from the scene.

And remember Atta’s luggage was the only bag to miss the flight, and contained his AQ training manual, flight instruction manual, and Koran. How tidy...

3. And as we all know, the patriots on the right never resort to violence

Because they're not terrorists, so they don't use violence, and we know that because it's only conservatives who get assassinated in America. The logic is . . . well, not impeccable. Peccable?

4. Very peccable indeed.
