10. Caveat emptor! re: Chic Trib and Bob Koehler...
What may be going on here--as to the Chic Trib telling Koehler to continue writing about election fraud (but axing two columns on it thus far)--is the creation of mere "buzz" about election fraud, with few or no facts, and especially few or no facts that nail the Bush Cartel for what they did. This "buzz" will then feed the case for federalizing elections (under Bush Cartel control, of course) that I believe is the hidden agenda of this private, phony "National Election Reform Commission" co-chaired by JAMES BAKER, that was recently sprung on us. Once they have taken control over elections away from the states and counties (where ordinary people still have some influence), that will be the end of the election reform movement.

Koehler may be perfectly sincere in his writings, and in his championing of this issue--and I have no reason to believe otherwise, he seems very sincere to me. It is the editors and owners who are manipulating election fraud information.

The Bush Cartel would need political cover to grab total control over elections away from the states. This phony "commission" provides such cover. They are well aware that the fight for election reform is a state/local fight. That's why they got rid of our good Sec of State Kevin Shelley in California (with a vile smear campaign). This is where it's happening--state/local. (Also, Conyers has outright stated that real election reform has been killed at the national level.) So their next logical move would be to cut this state/local movement off as its knees, by taking all power away from the states to choose election systems, and dictating how all of us vote forevermore.

A "buzz" about election fraud would feed their purpose. A real investigation and laying out of the facts would not. A real investigation would make people rightfully suspicious of the Baker/Carter "commission" and of electronic voting (that "commission" is stacked with paperless electronic voting advocates and Bush Cartelists), and of any power grab over elections.

I think this is what they're up to. Beware!

-----

P.S. However, I'm ALL FOR writing to Koehler, supporting him, writing to the Trib, writing to the phony "commission," and using every avenue possible to EDUCATE THE PUBLIC and particularly Kerry voters about what happened. Even though it's a "Catch 22" for us, we can do nothing else. The people have a right and a NEED to know. What we have to be cognizant of is how this information will likely be manipulated and used to further Bush Cartel goals. (Note: It's what they did with HAVA! They USED the 2000 election scandal to bribe and coerce the states to purchase electronic voting systems owned and controlled by Bush Cartel operatives.)
