Democrats might have been in a position to oppose Bush along a broad front. But 911 and targeted Anthrax attacks changed everything. Just as the FBI put a lid on Bush Sr's alleged involvement in a White House child prostitution ring circa 1990, the government itself most certainly denied the truth of 911 to the American people circa 2001. Suspicious deaths like these are far outside the normal distribution curves; suspicious deaths of establishment critics are statistically high. It is the picture of a world in which Democrats and liberals would be smart never to board a plane.

The Anthrax attacks had the desired result: it shut up the Democratic opposition, most notably, Nancy Pelosi who had once called Bush a 'dangerous man'. Impeachment was off the table. One wonders what improbable series of GOP coincidences are required before Americans will --at last --conclude that something very, very rotten, evil and corrupt has been loosed in America. A short essay cannot possibly document every suspicious detail, every suspension of physics, logic, or common sense. Nevertheless, a broad outline paints a vivid picture. And every picture tells a story. The story can be summed up thus: the cancerous growth of something rotten in America, a growth that paces that of the rise of the GOP.

911 divided the world up according the GOP ideology --patriots vs terrorists. 911 was so convenient as to be unbelievable! I still don't believe the official story and less now than when the event was fresh. The official version is even more unbelievable now as more is known about how Bush personally ordered evidence destroyed and inquiries quashed with veiled threats of GOP-sponsored terror. Were key Democrats afraid of being involved in a mysterious but highly coincidental plane crash, a plane crash that defies the normal distribution curve, the very laws of statistics and probability? It's the only hypothesis that explains what it otherwise inexplicable!

As many in government are overly eager now to put the Anthrax attacks behind them, it is clear that a genie may be out of the bottle. It's time to let it all hang out. It's time to conduct a real, open and accountable independent investigation into the suspicious, untimely deaths of Sen. Paul Wellstone, Mel Carnahan, and numerous others who --we are expected to believe --just happened to get on board an ill-fated plane just before a key vote could be cast, an incriminating fact revealed, or an investigation (911 specifically) begun!

It is, of course, too late for this administration to retrieve any credibility. Because this administration is utterly without credibility on every issue from Iraq to Anthrax to 911, an investigation into the convenient death of Paul Wellstone must begin now!

The late Senator's death was no surprise. Indeed, on May 25, 2001 VoxFux predicted that 'a Senator' would die in a aircraft accident.
Within months, one of a selected group of democratic Senators, likely from a state with a Republican Governor, will meet an untimely death. The death will appear to be either a plane "accident" or by "natural causes," - Whichever is most easily accomplished. The reality will in fact be that the Senator was one of a group of several Senators (Narrowed down into a group of "Selects") targeted for assassination and was the one who was in the right place at the right time for the most convenient and clean "hit."

You will see, within in the coming months, for absolutely certainty, the untimely death of at least one Democratic Senator, to "re balance the scale". The private covert intelligence groups behind George Bush Sr. are extraordinarily well funded with petrochemical billions. They are deadly, work completely autonomously, in a terrorist formation identical to a terrorist organization, and are absolutely religiously dedicated to accomplishing their objectives. They will not rest until the Senate is under the control once again of the darkest force ever to seize control of the American Empire - The clandestine industrial / military / intelligence triad who is currently represented by George Bush Jr.

--Democratic Senator to be Assassinated Soon, Assassination teams actively preparing hit
Wellstone opposed the Bush administration's 'War Resolution'. Is this motive for murder? That is best answered with another question: when it is clear that Saddam Hussein neither had WMD nor anything to do with 911, were the rich oil fields of Iraq motive for a war of aggression that has most certainly claimed over one million innocent lives?
If Wellstone's plane was sabotaged, it wouldn't be the first time that a political figure met his end in the friendly skies. A plane carrying Chinese leader Mao Tse-Tung's hand-picked successor, Lin Biao, crashed under mysterious circumstances en route to Moscow during 1971. The Chinese later claimed that Lin was defecting to the Soviet Union after a botched coup attempt against Mao; guilty or not, most historians believe that his plane was probably sabotaged. On March 3, 2001, a phosphorus bomb blew up a Thai Airways Boeing 737-400 minutes before the country's new prime minister, Thaksin Shinawatra, was set to board the jet.

Many American politicians--mostly Democrats and liberal Republicans--have died in aviation disasters. Senator John Tower (R-TX) Senator John Heinz (D-PA), Congressman Mickey Leland (D-TX); Ron Brown and Mel Carnahan are among those who have been killed in airplanes since 1989. "Elected officials expose themselves every day to these kinds of risks as they travel across their states or districts," Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-IL) commented, noting the perils of frequently using small aircraft.

Anyone who has traveled on what is euphemistically called "civil aviation" can tell horror stories about sudden drops, lurches and violent thunderstorms. But it's also true that security at the regional airports and small terminals at major airports used for such flights--Wellstone flew out of St. Paul--is more easily penetrable than that at JFK and LAX. It would hardly be impossible to sabotage a plane chartered for an inconvenient politician.

Wherefore the Black Box?

According to aviation consultant Robert Breiling, the plane that carried Senator Wellstone--the King Air A-100 "business turboprop," also known as a Beech King Air--is remarkably safe, with 25 percent fewer fatal accidents than other planes in its class. Warren Morningstar, spokesman for the Airline Owners and Pilots Association, says: "It's a great airplane."

So why did Wellstone's go down? Weather is the lead suspect. Freezing temperatures, which can be severe in Minnesota, came early this year. "This airplane would typically be equipped with de-ice equipment but there are icing conditions that are beyond the measure of any equipment to remove," Morningstar notes.

Local pilots, however, doubt that ice was a problem. "There was little ice. It was normal. We see it all the time," said Don Sipola, a flight instructor with 25 years experience.

"Black boxes"--a flight data recorder and a cockpit voice recorder--are often crucial for discovering the cause of airplane crashes. According to Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Paul Takemoto, the plane was required to be equipped with both. Contradicting the FAA, Carol Carmody, acting chairwoman of the National Transportation Safety Board which is investigating the site of the crash, says that the plane apparently carried neither. Were the black boxes lost or were they never aboard? Someone may know, but thus far no one's saying.

--Ted Rall, Assassination by Aviation
Paul Wellstone was the only progressive in the US Senate. Mother Jones magazine once described him as, "The first 1960s radical elected to the US senate." He was also the last. Since defeating incumbent Republican Rudy Boschowitz 12 years ago in a grassroots upset, Wellstone emerged as the strongest, most persistent, most articulate and most vocal Senate opponent of the Bush administration.

It does make sense

I thought it did make sense, it was short-hand in the interest of brevity; Len may have cut out the rest of the evidence since it is pretty well-known to many of us:

>  There were over 100 planes in the sky in that general area that day and none reported bad weather... Yet the news media repeated that lie over and over. 

>  The FBI arrived there at the crash site with a full team within an hour of the sad event (this is very strange since there was at least 45 mins flight time to get there). 

>  An eye witness who saw the plane come down heard a noise that could have been an explosion in the sky.

>  The plane's radio cut off in mid-conversation with no warnings of danger from the pilots at the time of the communication.

> Dick Cheney was witnessed to personally threaten Sen. Wellstone on the floor of the Senate chamber only a few days previously.

> Norm Coleman, the man who gained his Senate seat only because of the Senator's death, was put in charge of the Senate investigation. Since the Senator's death tipped the scales in the Senate to Republican, there was nothing the Dem's could do about that.

Senator Wellstone was the ONLY Progressive in the senate; then or now. He would have been the only one to question the 911 attacks, to push for Impeachment from the Senate side over the deliberate lying to get us into war.

And the plane is a very good one that had no prior crashes from "unknown causes" before or since.  

He was assassinated, of that there is little question. Things this coincidental just don't happen (the odds would be astronomical). And when you look at the motive... Taking over the Senate and changing history for all time is a pretty large one.....

Plane crashes aplenty.

When you are dealing with organized crime, you have to cultivate an imagination that is not very different from a tabloid.  La Muerta is their rule.  You have to see the enemy behind the hill.  The enemy in this country is the rich crooks who think they run it.  We must drain the swamp by taxing them to death and breaking up their endless rackets.

normal distribution curves

 Re: Brett Paatsch...

Can't a single data point appear anywhere on a normal distribution curve without defying it - it could be an outlying value?  What variable is being measured by your curve?

It is the 'position' of a datum on a chart relative to a curve which is either a normal curve or it is not! 

I wrote: "a plane crash that defies the normal distribution curve..." In other words, if the characteristics of all plane crashes were catalogued in a data base and correlated, I would wager than when plotted, the Wellstone crash would fall far outside the norms. Put another way, the characteristics of the Wellstone crash would not share the 'characteristics' of crashes classified as 'normal' i.e, inside the 'normal' curve. 

Every 'instance' is a member of a 'set' which is considered statistically. YOU, for example, are 'a' statistic. In the context (as opposed to being taken OUT of context) Wellstone's crash must be considered to have been 'outside' a normal distribution curve, if, in fact, his crash shared those attributes with other crashes.  

If your implications that 'instances' may not be considered statistically were valid, then all inductive and/or statistical science would simply stop and nothing of a general nature could be said of the world.

In fact, the very words 'normal' and 'abnormal' describe the relationship of INDIVIDUAL instances to 'normal distribution curves'.

That's the very purpose of doing a statistical study to begin with, i.e, to determine which INSTANCES are normal and which are not! Those 'instances' on the thin ends on either side of the bell bulge in the middle are 'not normal'. 

My statistics and psychology classes were somewhat more technical, but this is not a scientific paper.

distribution curves

Here's how a normal distribution curve can be plotted in Excel

Causes of Plane crashes:

  1. 53%: Pilot error
  2. 21%: Mechanical failure
  3. 11%: Weather
  4. 8%: Other human error (air traffic controller error, improper loading of aircraft, improper maintenance, fuel contamination, language miscommunication etc.)
  5. 6%: Sabotage (bombs, hijackings, shoot-downs)
  6. 1%: Other cause
Another essential piece of information: Politicians Killed in Plane Crashes

Clearly ---'sabotage, bombs, hijackings and shootdowns are not 'normal'. But that can only be determined if the public insists upon investigations.

What is of more immediate use is whether or not politicians are, in fact, especially vulnerable to being 'plane crashed' as opposed to the deaths that may be associated with other professions. This is what a detailed study should be able to determine. If it should turn out to be true that 'death by aircraft' is statistically high among politicians compared to other professions, then it is clear that something of a criminal nature must be suspected. This knowledge is significant in that it might 'motivate' investigations in cases that might have been otherwise chalked up to one of the 'usual suspects'.

Re: Steve

Thanks for the addendum, Steve. Part of the problem with trying to write an overview is the omission of details; on the flip side, part of the problem of zeroing in on a single case is missing the bigger, statistical anomoly which all of these 'assassinations' represent. When the people of the US begin to realize that these things are NOT NORMAL and, indeed, 'outside normal curves', then there must be hell to pay.

The number of deaths called COINCIDENCES in America must be astronomical. Additionally, the number of prominent folk dead by assassination in America is anomolous in itself. The US is among the world leaders in political assassinations exceeding even more populous nations in this category. The toll would be even higher if the 'suspicious accidents' were correctly labeled for what they are.

He (Paul Wellstone) was assassinated, of that there is little question. Things this coincidental just don't happen (the odds would be astronomical).

That's another very important sense in which his 'death' may be considered suspicious or 'abnormal' i.e, 'outside the normal distribution curve'.

hateful

Comment from Ratings:   Very hatefull against our president no matter which party he is from. This is the trouble with our country, HATE rules all thinking, and without morality. Our country and its citizens need to rally around and support the decisions made thru our elected representatives from the president on down. Enough of this hateful bickering. Many people just hate because of the 2000 election. Come on people he has served his 8 years and you are not going to take it away. GET OVER IT. Thank GOD we didn't get Al Gore. We would be much worse off. Just look what that idiot does.

Hateful?

Mr. Simpson you must be kidding? Surely you haven't been hibernating over the last 8 years. Are you saying that Al Gore's presidency would have been worse than the last 8 years. What could be worse than hundreds of thousands of dead people,  the destruction of two countries,  the outing of American secret agents, the destruction of the economy, the tripling of the national debt to unheard of levels, the beginnings of famine, the embracing of torture, the suspension of habeus corpus, a mainstay of democracy for over 800 years, the politicization of the justice department, the breaking of so many laws that it is difficult to count them all, the fixing of elections, the rise in fuel prices to 6 or 7 times what they were before Bush was elected? I mean I could go on and on but I hope you open up your eyes and get the picture.

Len

Excellent piece. Extremely well planned and developed as well as very well written.

I have been writing about the Wellstone "accident" for years. Add another outside of the standard Deviation to the mix, both wife and daughter died in the same crash? No one around shortly before an election to run in his place? Nancy Pelosi is indeed,Obstructing Justice

See my poll at the above link.

Pilot Error

Regardless of the political implications of Wellstone's death, and I agree there are many, the NTSB found that weather was NOT the "lead suspect". The only eye witness in the NTSB report indicated he saw the airplane slightly below the clouds at 1,800 feet though it was possible that the top of the plane was in the clouds. There is no indication of any eye witness of the flight mentioning a sound like an explosion. That report does not indicate any abnormal radio communication between the pilots and ATC, especially one that was cut off "mid-sentence".

Basically, the NTSB concludes that the pilots of that flight were substandard, did not follow Standard Operating Procedure for their approach, and lost control of the aircraft in a stall.

Airplane assassinations and other stuff.

I believe that Paul Wellstone was going to run for president and quite possibly would have won. (If our voting system wasn't compromised.) He would of put us on a different better path than the psychopaths in charge and leading us down a road to tyranny, economic ruin and war. What could be worse than that? Something I don't think Gore would have been inclined to do. But then I am not sure considering his running mate (Joe Leiberman) was of the same type as Bush and Cheney.

Their is evidence that if they can get away with character assassination and manipulation of votes they won't kill you. Just look at Kucinich. He should be the presumptive nomonee but isn't. If he was he would run the risk of dying by malfunctioning airplane.

Mr. Jack Simpson

Dear Mr. Simpson: Below you articulate your aversion to Len Hart's article, but did you check the evidence-the links? One cannot say his article was ruled by HATE by yourself ignoring HIS evidence.

Below you say OUR President He is not our president, he is apparently YOUR president. I know nothing about the prostitution ring but the rest is well known material.

The trouble with our country is not as much HATE as it is ill-or uninformed voters, who apparently never do research they let their bigotry toward the poor, the minorities and the tolerant rule how they vote. The Wellstone assassination does hold interest for me, however.

There are 1.5 million Iraqi's dead now, and more than 4,000 Americans, so what has Al Gore done for which you thank God he was not elected and which you call an idiot? That is very unclear to me. At least Mr. Hart offers substantial research for his thesis. So, you think national leaders should be supported even when they destroy the Constitution (The Patriot Act) and the Bill of Rights (The Military Commission's Act of 2006) and imprison innocent people. 239 were put to death in the Bush era of governing TX and day by day many in TX are delivered from prison by DNA testing showing their innocence. How many that died were innocent? You support capital Punishment when Jesus reiterated that Thou Shalt Not Murder? Premeditated killing even if by law is murder.
Are you supporting his comment that our great Constitution,
"is only a *&*^%$ piece of paper" ? Or his business school paper that claims, "The poor are only so because they are Lazy." Explain one thing which he has done which JESUS would have done or which JESUS did not speak out against?

Sir, you are a disappointing citizen to say to the rest of us that we should support lawlessness and treason in a president. As creatures of God it is incumbent upon us all to resist EVIL wherever it raises its degenerate head. By-the-way, you spelled Hateful wrong below. The last time we had a Just and honest President gas was a $1.25 a Gallon and you say we are better off now? Lord!

Comment from Ratings: Very hatefull against our president no matter which party he is from. This is the trouble with our country, HATE rules all thinking, and without morality. Our country and its citizens need to rally around and support the decisions made thru our elected representatives from the president on down. Enough of this hateful bickering.

Update

News has just come out that Tom Feeley of Information Clearinghouse is under attack by thugs. Tom´s wife encountered three men in suits inside the Feeley residence. She was told to tell Tom he should "stop what he is doing" then one of them raised up his jacket to show her a gun. The internet is becoming a major threat to our criminal government. We must ALL redouble our efforts to expose the criminal activity of bushco. Time is short, the internet will soon be disassembled. GOD bless Tom Feeley for his constant efforts to end war.

My friend Tom Feeley is in Big trouble. He runs the web site informationclearinghouse.info which updates "news you won't find in the corporate media" every day. The site is strongly anti-war.

Tom has gotten his share of death threats over the years, but what happened this week is a lot more serious.

Two days ago, Tom's wife found three well dressed men in their kitchen. The man who did all the talking, told Tom's wife (I won't give her name) that Tom must "Stop what he is doing on the Internet, NOW!" As crazy as it sounds, he pulled back his lapel and showed her a gun of some kind which she could not identify. Like I said, Tom has been threatened before, but nothing  like this. 4 years ago, he was in a parking lot at Long's Drug store in Southern California and when he tried to open his door to get out, a man in a car next to him opened his door at precisely the same time which prevented Tom from getting out. Then, a 40-ish year old man got out of the passenger side of the vehicle and approached Tom saying, "You need to stop what you are doing on the web".

Tom said the man was overweight and had his shirt untucked. Tom was taken aback, but (after collecting himself said) "What the fuck? Who do you think you are telling me what I can do?"

The man answered, "Tom, I'm just giving you some good advice. You should take my advice, Tom."

This is all I know about the incident. Since, then, there have been occassional death threats, but nothing like what happened on Sunday. Tom's wife is hysterical and has not returned to the house since the incident. She contacted the FBI but the FBI said their was nothing they could do. Tom and his wife separated recently after a 30 year marriage, so he is publishing from a different location.

The well-dressed man told Tom's wife that he knew where her son lived, what line of work he was in, and how many children he had.

Last night, Tom's son and a friend cruised the neighborhood where his mother lives to see if anything strange was going on. They came across two men in a car a half-block from their mother's home using their laptops at roughly 12:30 AM. When Tom's son and friend approached them, the car sped off. Tom, does not know whether this is connected to his situation, but it is definitely suspicious.

I talked to Tom this morning and he is getting by, but he's clearly upset. I do not know his plans, but I know he is ditching his cell phone and (I assume) will have to go underground as much as possible. He plans to keep publishing.

I'll tell you this about Tom Feeley; he is no bullshitter. He is the "real deal" and completely committed to exposing the mob that is presently running our country. He does not understand why, (as he says)  "They are reaching down SO far to get someone who just runs web site". But, the truth is, they are. Someone wants him to "shut up" and they apparently have the muscle to do it. He knows he is in danger.

I will probably only hear from Tom infrequently from this point on. But I will update information as I get it. Tom, knows some of the best writers on the Internet---many of them speak out regularly and forcefully on issues of civil liberties and war. Anything they can do to draw attention to Tom's situation will greatly improve his chances of getting through this ordeal safely. Beyond that, I have no idea of what can be done to help.

Sorry to hear about Tom

I've been a fan of Tom's work at InfoClearHouse for years.  Sorry to hear he and his family are under attack.  Please keep us posted.  This story needs stay in the public eye.   Hopefully, that will discourage his 'shadows.'

Thx for sharing that

I will pass that info around; the best shield we have is protecting each other by spreading the news of this sort of thing as wide as possible.

Len's article was great; but thats not stopping me from going off-topic on the below lol:  

If some of you read my "Free Energy and the Open Source Energy Movement Part 3" a few weeks ago, it detailed what happened to Dr. Eugene Mallove, who was murdered 4 years ago. Out of deference to the family, i decided not to mention some of the facets of that case in the article....

His death was also way too much a coincidence, since he was likely holding important information that would force MIT and others to accept Cold Fusion and other free energy-related technologies... And embarrass the government over funding discrepancies with the large, and mainly bogus, "hot fusion" reactors.

It seems that much of the funds supposedly going to universities for hot fusion reactors are actually used in other black projects, with some siphoned off into slush funds. Many of the universities reactor projects are completely sealed off from the public and have had no visitors in many years: Because they are not even operational and exist only on the books.  

I believe Dr. Mallove, who had extensive contacts all over the scientific community, knew this, and probably died because of it as well as his very vocal calling of universities to rigorously and openly study the "forbidden" subjects of free energy such as energy from plasma and magnetic motors.

As the editor of his free energy magazine, he saw all the technologies, knew most of the people in the movement, and knew which devices really worked. His credentials were impeccable, he was a well known celebrity in the scientific community with dozens of TV and radio appearances, and he was the worst threat for getting out the truth about free energy then... or since. His death stopped all that.

Dr. Mallove also had much dirt on university administrators and department heads for squashing grants and suppressing studies when they involved free energy... From his many contacts who secretly supported his efforts (openly doing so would get you fired, or if Tenured, at least your grants canceled rather quickly).  So if he had blasted an expose of the university funding scams and practices of suppression it would have both gotten many people fired or in jail, and forced free energy research. So again, his deaths was a very "lucky" coincidence to those who would have paid for their lies and suppressions... And for those who would lose billions if free energy were embraced.  

There have been over 40 inventors of free energy devices who died before their time in the last 30 or so years. In fact, being an inventor of a free energy device is the most dangerous occupation on Earth when you look at the statistics. The most well known, Stanley Meyer, was almost certainly murdered.... Again with amazing coincidence right before he made a major deal to have his revolutionary hydroxy and plasma ignition of water power systems manufactured in Europe.  BTW, as my next article in the series deals with, Meyer managed to thwart the US Military from "secretizing" his patents (...which has happened to over 4,000 patents to date; they just disappear and in most cases are never even used by the military, just shelved); and Meyer's clever means of doing it infuriated the generals who had ordered it secretized; and he was overtly threatened by "MIB's".

If they cant stop you by secretizing your patents and throwing a gag order on you with the treat of life sentences in federal prison, then they try to buy you off. If that doesn't work (as it didn't with Meyer); you die of a heart attack or some other "natural" cause... Again, the amount of coincidence involved here is staggering (somthing like 12,000 times greater than standard population figures).
