Ohio Attorneys Seek Protection for Mike Connell and his Family against Alleged Threats from Karl Rove 24 Jul 2008 Sources close to the Ohio Corrupt Practices Act/RICO claim sent us a copy of a letter that asks Attorney General Mukasey for protection for Michael Connell and his family who have been allegedly threatened by Karl Rove. Rove is believed to be the strategic mastermind behind the Bush 2004 re-[s]-election campaign and the possible Ohio election improprieties. The alleged threats appear to be the result of the re-opening, through the Ohio Corrupt Practices Act/RICO claim, of the stalled investigation into the 2004 Ohio Elections. Stark Co. plane crash: Who was Michael Connell? 20 Dec 2008 Michael Connell was killed when the Piper Supercub he was piloting crashed three miles short of an Akron-Canton Airport runway. He leaves behind a wife and four children. Connell, of Bath Township, is considered to be one of the Republican Party's top computer experts. He led the companies that designed websites for the GOP and a virtual who's-who list of republican political leaders including President [sic] George W. Bush, Senator John McCain, as well as national organizations. Connell developed a host of federal government software and data management systems. Connell is also said to be a close confidant of the Bush family. Earlier this year, Connell was subpoenaed to testify in an Ohio federal court regarding voter fraud just days before the November presidential election. His alleged intimate knowledge of White House and Capitol Hill email systems has been a hot topic of conversation for Washington insiders regarding the Karl Rove/White House email scandal.

TALK, talk, about it,
and maybe there will be some action on it. Paul Wellstone and most of his family were killed by these criminals running our government and now this man, Mike Connell, who was threatened by Karl Rove, has been killed. He was going to tell all about the stolen elections and more. Not soon enough though. Please tell me that we DO NOT forgive open, blatant murder of witnesses/part-takers of crimes. Please stop watching CSI, and all the other prime-time-murder-is-ok shows. Don't be numb. Learn and speak out. by zephyr (0 articles, 0 quicklinks, 0 diaries, 74 comments [4 recommended, 0 rejected]) on Monday, Dec 22, 2008 at 1:53:57 PM  (0+)

Reply: Talk,Talk,Talk
That is all the people of the USA do, is talk. The USA is the most Barbaric country in the world, all the world knows this except the people who are a party to all this murder,rape,torture,grand theft,Treason,Treason,Treason, the intentional destruction of Democracy replaced by Nazi Fascism, and the Economic Destruction of this country. The truth that this Bush Nazi Regime never tells is that they have been targeting this country since day one. The $98 Billion missing from Iraq was taxpayer money for reconstruction of Iraq that Bush blew up, thereby allowing him, an dCheney, et al; to steal all this money without accounting, and with impunity, WHY? Because the majority of people in US are stupid, and follow like sheep. Paul by Paul Welch (0 articles, 0 quicklinks, 0 diaries, 5 comments) on Tuesday, Dec 23, 2008 at 8:44:59 AM (0+)

When do we do something about these criminals?
What do we have to do to make something happen about the crime spree that these people have been on for several decades? Why has nothing been done to stop them and put them away for life? It's common knowledge that they killed Paul Wellstone and most of his family but still nothing has been done. Are we totally helpless against these acts? Somebody in government, please step up and indict these horrible people and put them away, preferably for the rest of their miserable lives. This story was in yesteday's OEN and it was so appalling that it gave me chills. Is everybody in this country so afraid of these bullies that they will do these things with impunity. This is the United States of America! There must be somebody who can act to stop this bunch from their killing spree. I must admit that I am afraid for my own safety for my political beliefs and writings but I would be happy to join with anybody who will actually take a stand against them. The idea that Wellstoned has become a verb is so infuriating that I could scream. But there it is. Paul Wellstone was one of our greats and because of his courage and beliefs he is gone along with members of his family. What a terrible tragedy! This country should be ashamed of itself for its apathy. by Caronome (0 articles, 0 quicklinks, 1 diaries, 327 comments [15 recommended, 0 rejected]) on Monday, Dec 22, 2008 at 2:27:33 PM (0+)

grossly stupid decision to land with almost 0/0 visibility
To all you conspiracy enthusiasts. Trying to land when the visibility and ceiling is basically 0/0, that is in fog is gross pilot error and all too many pilots have paid the ultimate price attempting this. Check the FAA weather at the time of the accident if you don't believe me. Light aircraft flying in seriously inclement weather dramatically reduce their chances of having a successful. Mr. Connell had more money than brains, a not uncommon occurance in the world of light aircraft. Also a phenomenon called "get home-itis" may have played a roll in Mr Connell's foolish decision to land in atrocious weather conditions, not to mention, flying in that weather at all. by ken weitzman (0 articles, 0 quicklinks, 0 diaries, 1 comments) on Monday, Dec 22, 2008 at 2:33:10 PM (0+)

Reply: It's possible, but then...
If you looked into it, you would find the most disturbing number of "accidents" that follow every supposed-conspiracy that has come out surrounding the Bush family. So many car accidents on rural roads and unexplained plane accidents; it boggles the mind. You can believe what you want, but I don't believe in coincidence when it happens over and over and over and over.... then it's called "a pattern." by Paula Sayles (6 articles, 0 quicklinks, 1 diaries, 204 comments [78 recommended, 0 rejected]) on Monday, Dec 22, 2008 at 5:48:17 PM (0+)

Big secrets and the power behind them
Any doubt that the FAA and TSA investigations into the cause of the plane's crash will reveal nothing to indicate sabotage or foul play? Any doubt that the team of investigators, (and especially it's "director"), will be carefully selected? Plane crashes seem to be a favorite tool of the movers and shakers within our ruling elite at the head of the shadow government. by Michael McCoy (7 articles, 1 quicklinks, 2 diaries, 487 comments [26 recommended, 0 rejected]) on Monday, Dec 22, 2008 at 2:47:16 PM (0+)

How convenient for the fraudsters, if it's true...okay, if I'm nuts, where's the DNA?

Reply: JFK Jr.
Stephen, While you are pondering this subject, may I suggest you take a real deep look into the JFK JR. event. It may be distasteful to your sensabilities, but reading some of the sites you might be tempted to consider looney "conspiracy" sites might lead you to some evidence and issues you have not considered plausable before.

Dead men don't talk, "dead" (out of power) politicians do
If we search diligently, we'd find out that 90 -95% of the time, we’re told the dead were warned not to do this or that. I heard similar things about JFK "we told him not to rid that convertible car", regarding his son "he had a broken arm or hand" not sure which – even though for John Jr. I give the benefit of doubt due to his limited experience flying. As for MLK, although this wasn't a plane crash, still the same pattern “he was told not to go there". As for those witnesses "still alive" -if they're lucky- either they're classified as "liars" or isolated and "made crazy" or something bizarre usually happens to them. To me this is already suspicious. Since the dead won't talk, we have no choice but to subpoena. But questions and/or choice still remain: who should be subpoena? Are those subpoenaed helping us shed the light? It's often said "the truth will set you free. Will we ever know the truth? Just think about JFK assassination? How long did he take? And we are in the most technology advanced country. Are Bush/Rove - if still powerful- able the tell the truth? by Lydia Kopere Patterson (6 articles, 0 quicklinks, 1 diaries, 154 comments) on Tuesday, Dec 23, 2008 at 12:05:12 AM (0+)

Reply: subpoena?
Who should we subpoena? In the present investigation, I am not as submerged in it, and it is still so early, that I could only hazard guesses. There is, 1. Motive and 2. MO. and 3. Certainly means. if we consider any members of the Bush Regime as suspect. My first intuition would be to talk to everyone near his plane or in that vicinity during the times that he was said to have cancelled flights do to mechanical and system uncertainties. After finding out as much as possible on that head, check into their leads, but also check into the witnesses alibis as to the day that the fatal crash took place. by William Whitten (0 articles, 0 quicklinks, 0 diaries, 4880 comments [1686 recommended, 28 rejected]) on Tuesday, Dec 23, 2008 at 12:45:39 AM (0+)

Reply: Cessna & Piper & Beechcraft, oh my!
A most interesting list. How many of them were running scared on the way to testify against someone like Karl Rove and that ilk? If he were sufficiently terrified, it may have impacted his judgment to fly on a day he should have stayed in bed. What I’d like to know is why the aircraft exploded and shook the ground no less. That’s a little bit too Hollyweird. Bad landings usually end up with twisted wreckage, as there is hardly anything in a light plane that would cause that kind of effect.

Good article Stephen! Thank you. That's another reason why some of us who's been praying since day ONE or even long before primaries can't afford to stop. As someone already pointed, this country sometimes doesn't like those honest politicians who bring hope to the people. No need to give you the history. That business of paparazzi in Hawaii, I don't really like it. I'm uncomfortable. Some change may be needed to put some security limit with the Paparazi too. You write so well.
