Excellent Work In Denmark By Danish Reporter!
Edited on Tue Dec-14-04 10:51 PM by Ojai Person
Received this in an email from Bo Elkjaer, Danish Reporter. I wrote him saying that the International Monitors should be monitoring the recounts. He said that he immediately forwarded all the information to them, and gave me their email addresses, saying we should write them directly.

Today was a big day for Bo's efforts to expose US election fraud in Denmark:

(from Bo)
As told, Ekstra Bladet today brought the story on Kerrys letter to Ohio, Clint Curtis talking to the FBI etc.

This afternoon at 1500 danish time I demonstrated the vulnerability in Diebold GEMS. You can find the demonstration at http://ekstrabladet.dk/VisArtikel.iasp?PageID=273239

The first three minutes of the webcast is an introduction by my editor, the former conservative minister of defense and minister of justice Hans Engell. I wish I had the time to translate what I'm writing and what he's saying, but I'm already working almost 24/7 and my family is getting pissed of already. What he says can basicly be summed up to this: "The US election system is a joke. Fix it. Now."

The response was quick and overwhelming. Tonight I was interviewed by the danish national tv2 news (find them at nyhederne.tv2.dk) I told them about GEMS and they interviewed a statistical expert - the head of the danish poll service MEGAFON and an IT Securit expert who called the weaknesses in the system 'horrifying'.

As you can see at ekstrabladet.dk I have provided links to Chuck Herrin and Black Box Voting etc. etc.

All in all I belive I have given the snowball a little push today. Maybe it'll finally start rolling over here...

For tomorrow I'm writing about David Cobbs revelation of Triad.

Yours respectfully
Bo Elkjaer

Is Ekstra Bladet a major news source in Denmark? (forgive my ignorance)

5. I think it's the number one "tabloid," but well-respected. He's won awards
for his reporting, the equivalent of the Danish Pulitzer, as I understand it, for his story on the corruption in the Danish government.

16. This is great! If the international press reports it, our media will look
seriously inept for having dropped the ball once again.

27. That's often how deception and fraud is exposed in a third world country
and sadly, ours is racing toward that bottom title right now!

Let's just see that the rest of the world hears our cries and calls enough attention on it to awaken the rest of the dozing citizenry here!
