TX 2 FL:White House-linked clandestine operation paid for "vote switching"
A very long, detailed and very damning article. Especially enjoyable are the last few paragraphs discussing what Madsen terms "high crimes" that he alleges the Bush folks have committed. This article focuses primarily on past elections, that lead back to the White House and the Florida governor.

The prior three Madsen articles re: election fraud can be found here:

Texas to Florida: White House-linked clandestine operation paid for "vote switching" software

By Wayne Madsen
Online Journal Contributing Writer

December 6, 2004—The manipulation of computer voting machines in the recent presidential election and the funding of programmers who were involved in the operation are tied to an intricate web of shady off-shore financial trusts and companies, shady espionage operatives, Republican Party politicians close to the Bush family, and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) contract vehicles.

An exhaustive investigation has turned up a link between current Florida Republican Representative Tom Feeney, a customized Windows-based program to suppress Democratic votes on touch screen voting machines, a Florida computer services company with whom Feeney worked as a general counsel and registered lobbyist while he was Speaker of the Florida House of Representatives, and top level officials of the Bush administration.

According to a notarized affidavit signed by Clint Curtis, while he was employed by the NASA Kennedy Space Center contractor, Yang Enterprises, Inc., during 2000, Feeney solicited him to write a program to "control the vote." At the time, Curtis was of the opinion that the program was to be used for preventing fraud in the in the 2002 election in Palm Beach County, Florida. His mind was changed, however, when the true intentions of Feeney became clear: the computer program was going to be used to suppress the Democratic vote in counties with large Democratic registrations.

According to Curtis, Feeney and other top brass at Yang Enterprises, a company located in a three-story building in Oviedo, Florida, wanted the program, written in Visual Basic 5 (VB.5) and designed to operate in Windows and be portable to Unix-based vote tabulation systems, to be "undetectable" to voters and election supervisors.

2. I keep seeing this same article.
Not that I object to the repetition because the more read about it, the better, but does anybody have any updates on this matter? Is there anyone corroborating Madsen's story?

8. This is a currently breaking story. Publishing this article will flush
the quail out from the bushes (so to speak). He wrote this morning:

"There is more to do on the story --- I think this article will shake out more information on who else was in on this election fix.

5. Jamboi, A question regarding Wong versus Yang.
Why would he use a pseudo-name when the corroboration of his story was imperative from the start in order to establish credibility?

6. All of you pose interesting questions.
I thought I saw Madsen's email posted last week. Someone should email him and ask those questions. It was an AOL address.

9. Okay,,,
You're leaving me hanging. Why did he change his mind and then post it? BTW, if he does get sued, make sure he has control of the venue.

Try this:

This is an incredible story and needs to be spread fast before the Bushies hack the site. Make hard copies too.

11. I think my family just got freaked out.
I sent it to my siblings and parents and I just got a frantic call from two of them saying that my parents needed me to come down early to help out with the Christmas decorations. I think they think I've been spending too much time in front of the computer. LOL.

Of course, they could really just need me. I went down early last year too.
