Kossack Reports ABC News Picked Up Earpiece Transmissions to Bush Today

[Dems Will Win]

At today's Press Conference. Anybody TIVO it off ABC. We should really get some techies to figure out what frequency they are on so next conference it can be captured. The White House bought 2 Receive-A-Cue earpiece devices...

pacoyogi: I was watching his opening remarks while having breakfast at a diner....the ABC feed was picking up whoever was speaking to him on his earpiece. If anyone DVR'd it off of ABC, it might be interesting to post.

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2006/10/25/13328/212#c2

I'll say it would be interesting.

You techies out there, as was screamed at Dan Rather once: "What is the Frequency?"

Please RECOMMEND

[Cooley Hurd]

1. Didn't some news org pick up his "feeder's feed" before?

Was it ABC?

K&R - because I wanna know who his "man behind the curtin" is! Probably Rove himself...:thumbsdown:

[Dems Will Win]

4. It was CNN in France at a D-Day commemoration...

[Cooley Hurd]

10. Ah, thank you!

Why can't he just use a telepropter, like everyone else?:shrug:

[Dems Will Win]

11. June 6, 2004 was the day, in the morning I think.

[Marnieworld]

15. because he's dyslexic and also because he is only pretending that

these are his thoughts. You can't read a teleprompter to respond to a question from a reporter. It's not a speech. Just like he couldn't use one in the debates. It's all an illusion that he has the slightest clue. I would love a reporter jamming the frequency. That would be a delight!

[Richard Steele]

23. That's a dream of mine as well.

That someone would carry in a short-range JAMMER,
and he'd be left all alone in front of the cameras,
being asked questions without the voice in his ear
to give him any answers.

That would indeed be a DELIGHT!




EDITeded cuz me no spel wel.

[lakemonster11]

46. I think it's quite possible that

that's what happened during the first debate in 2004. Otherwise, how could he possibly have ended up doing so badly? I can't believe that Rove and the others would have sent him there so unprepared.

[MissWaverly]

68. Sunday on This Week with George Stephanopoulos

he was tossing around words like "salient" this from the man who says things like,
I'm the decider.

[trekbiker]

60. better yet.. take over with a more powerful signal and then start

feeding him stuff. make him look like he's got tourette's syndrome..

[alfredo]

76. Set off an air horn into the microphone.

A fart machine under the podium would be fun too.

[trekbiker]

109. airhorn... ahahahaha!!! perfect

[alfredo]

111. Any loud noise that would make him flinch would work.

[jazzjunkysue]

65. Even better: Duct tape Karl's mouth and feed * a few new phrases, like:

"The election was rigged."
"I didn't win in 00 or 04."
"We had to go in and take the oil before the Saudi's cut off my bank accounts."
"My family has been trying to destabilize the middle east for decades, and this is the best chance we'll ever get."
"I'm a coke head."
"Condi and me are gonna take a week off and slip away together."

[The Doctor.]

92. Go with that.

I know it would work like a charm. The man has no penchant for independent thought.

[Uncle Joe]

62. Everyone would wonder, why is Bush making that scratchy sound?

Sounds like static:shrug:

[goclark]

64. Maybe that is the lisp sound I hear all the time!

[warrens]

27. Too slow during Q&A sessions

Man, would it be fun to know the frequency in advance and give him the answers faster than they can.

He's such a monkey he'd repeat whatever you said.

[sofa king]

43. He can't read well enough.

[Ouabache]

80. Because the dumb fuck can't read in all liklihood

They say he DOESN'T read much. probably because he really CAN'T read very well.

[sarahlee]

104. He can't read? n/t

[mitchum]

115. Beecauz reeding iss hard werk...

for a goddamn moron

[elehhhhna]

19. nah, it's Satan. Bank on it.

[Brundle_Fly]

49. What is Satan's Frequency?

[leveymg]

52. Radio Satan: 666 Mhz also broadcasting at 66.6 on your FM dial

[Uncle Joe]

61. I hear he takes requests, but you have to sell your soul n/t

[MidwestTransplant]

2. There is no way he wasn't waiting to be told what to say.

he had some super long pauses...his faced looked like he was listening for something.

[AzDar]

22. You are SO right. He hasn't been this obvious since the debates,imnsho.

Oh, to be able to prove it.....

[BuyingThyme]

38. A while back I caught him mishearing what they were feeding him.

He used a word completely out of context, and it was very clear what was going on because he had to backtrack to make it appear that he simply misspoke. But the backtrack only made it more obvious that he was being fed answers.

I started a thread about this some time ago, but I can't find it.

[LuckyLib]

82. In the speech today he used the word "patient" when it should

have been "patience" -- tee hee. His bloopers are a riot. Can you imagine what interpreting what he says in another language must be like?

[flyarm]

90. I THOUGHT "Peeance Freeance " WAS THE BEST..IT WAS WHEN

he first started using the IFB

the next day in the media they corrected what he said to .."the peace and freedom"...

but he most definitely said..peeance and freeance!!

[BuyingThyme]

101. In the instance I'm talking about the word he used was completely

out of context. It wasn't that the misused the word, it's that he used a word that only made sense if he misheard what they were saying. I wish I could remember the word.

I can't do searches, but if somebody searches "earpiece" or "ear piece" and "BuyingThyme" it's probably in the old database.

[Ezlivin]

3. K&R

It just keeps getting curiouser and curiouser.

I can't wait to see what comes out at the criminal trials.

[Onlooker]

5. Now, wouldn't this be a great October surprise?

If it could be proven through audio that Bush was being fed his remarks, I feel certain the MSM would pick it up, and would show that Bush is not really in charge.

[mopinko]

9. if this comes out, they had better revisit the 04 debates.

damn, what i wouldn't give for a free press.

[kath]

14. '04 debates?? Hell, clear back during the 2000 "debates" quite a few of us

thought that he was being fed his lines through an earpiece. The long pauses, with the odd tilt of his head like he was listening intently, then an answer spurting out...

[MindPilot]

37. I SO wanted John Kerry to say...

"...excuse me, Sir, are you wearing an EARPIECE?!"

[NewJeffCT]

113. Didnt the NY Times quash that story?

About Bush wearing an earpiece at the debates?

[mopinko]

114. i think it was the la times.

iirc, there was a nasa photo enhancement expert that shopped the story to several papers. i don't recall the details. i think that a reporter at la times worked up a story that got the spike.
i could be wrong.

[elehhhhna]

18. Freeper answers: That's OLD news. lol

[grizmaster]

6. K & R

[greeneyedboy]

7. how sweet would it be if this were true and finally revealed.

[partylessinOhio]

8. FRISTIANS, your boy is so inept. Ha Ha!

[Guaranteed]

12. What needs to be looked at is whether it was Bush's voice repeating

(through some kind of delay on ABC's part) or *someone else's* voice...

If anyone recorded it, it would be great to hear...

[IndyOp]

33. Yes - I think the CNN video of * answering questions while he

was in France was just echo of his own voice. It would be great to hear and have some experts analyze.

:kick:

[Dems Will Win]

44. What I remember from the CNN broadcast was that the

other voice spoke BEFORE the President repeated the line

[IndyOp]

45. I recognize what you are saying and still came to the conclusion

that it was audio that was out of sync with audio/video...

I don't know why it happened - maybe an audio was being 'sent' to radio stations at the same time (but just a split second before) both audio & video were being sent to TV stations.

That is my impression of what happened.

I'd be happy to learn otherwise - if someone has scientific evidence of a difference in vocal tone or pronunciation between Voice 1 and Voice 2...

(Edit: Clarify what I meant by 'evidence'...)

[hedgehog]

70. I have to admit to noticing the same thing.

WHen I listen on the radio and then switch to TV, the radio is a second or so ahead of the television. Maybe the television audio and video has an automatic delay?

[TheWraith]

106. I recall someone said the other day that ABC was on a delay

That when the incident the other day occurred, somebody mentioned that ABC appeared to be on a 2-second delay as compared to the other networks.

[DoYouEverWonder]

13. I don't want to intercept the signal

I want to jam the sucker and then watch him have a seizure.

[Ganja Ninja]

17. Better yet feed him something else.

Something like the narrative from a man-boy love porn novel.

[DoYouEverWonder]

25. Bwaaa...

:rofl:

[CoffeeCat]

81. ROFL!! Thanks for the laugh...

...I laughed out loud and scared my cat!

Too funny...

I've got a nice visual of Top Gun having a seizure...LOL! Can you imagine how AWFUL he
would be, without the earpiece working? If he's this bad, when someone is feeding him
all of the lines...it boggles the mind.

[DoYouEverWonder]

91. Glad to be of service

[PaDem]

21. Please excuse my ignorance, but I have a question..........

about all this earpiece business. If Bush wore an earpiece device during a presidential debate or during any public speaking engagement, wouldn't we have pictoral or video evidence of said piece in his ear? I'm tech illiterate so I don't know if there is some sort of earpiece device that could be concealed from the naked eye in one's ear. Anybody?

[originalpckelly]

24. Here is one example of what is alleged:

http://www.endoacustica.com/english/details_secret_ear_en.htm





The interesting part is that this block looks to fit the size of the one supposedly seen at the debates in 2004:

[Dems Will Win]

30. I once saw a White House invoice for two Receive-A-Cues

Maybe someone can dig up a link

[justinaforjustice]

26. Demand The Truth From ABC

This could be a major breakthrough in proving Bush has been wired throughout all his debates and many press conferences.

We should flood ABC (and all the networks and journalists) with demands that they investigate and reveal the details of Bush being fed answers by wireless connection.

This might be best done thorugh www.congress.org's "media" links which allows you to contact all the media within a 100 miles of a designated zip code and draft letters to them for sending through Congress.org.

Send to your local media by inputting your zip code, save your letter, and then send to media surrounding White House (get zip for D.C. from www.usps.com) and a New York City zip code (1001). If you save your original letter (via "Edit", "Save"), you can keep re-inserting your original letter. Congress.org allows you to send letters to 5 different media sources at a time. By obtaining zip codes from various cities throughout the country you can send letters to the editor to hundreds of local newspapers.

[Stephanie]

28. I heard this on ABC on September 11, 2001

I really did. The only station I could get was ABC because the transmitters for the other stations were on top of the WTC and I didn't have cable. Bush gave a speech from the WH that night when he stopped bunnyhopping. I could hear the feed for about a minute or so. It seemed like an audio glitch but it was definitely a different voice.

[kath]

32. Thanks, Stephanie - I remember you mentioning before that you had heard

this on Sept 11.

[dipsydoodle]

29. At first I thought he was being fed

via the auto-cue. Then I noticed that he would confuse syllables in a way which could occur if listening and speaking at the same time. If you hear a replay I think you'll find, for example, that after Shia instead of saying sniper he says shniper because he's got "sh" in his head ! Yes I know - sh** for brains :rofl:

[BuyingThyme]

40. Yes, I know exactly what you're saying.

A person that stupid cannot say things convincingly unless he understands the words and the context.

[Dinger]

31. Cool - K & R!

[young_at_heart]

34. Maybe the media will persue it more this time

There ought to be major outrage at all the times he has done this, but no one seems to care.

[Subdivisions]

41. You're right and it's very frustrating. What has to happen

to get people to pay attention and then to react?

[go west young man]

100. What media? You mean the corporate media that are linked to

the military industrial complex, the stock market and everything Bush stands for? That media? The only real media out there is Keith Olberman, John Stewart, Stephen Colbert and a few late night comedians.

36. Why are you people so cynical?

We all know that GAWD whispers in DUHbya's ear. Maybe He chooses to use an earpiece to do so. And a microphone. And Karl Rove.

Why shouldn't GAWD's voice sound just like Karl Rove's?

[DemonFighterLives]

93. You just connected the dots for me

kkkarl and GFY cheney had a device implanted into the bleck hole that should be dubby's gray matter. He just thinks he is hearing God and it is really just karl or someone behind the curtain.
:dem:

[wicket]

39. KICK!!!

:kick:

[KnaveRupe]

42. Didn't hear the feed, but I noticed him say "let me finish!"...

...when nobody was interrupting him. He's done this before; apparently the voice in his ear talks faster than he can repeat.

Loser.

[rainy]

48. I was just getting ready to post this. I remember very well

Bush saying "let me finish" in the debate. No one was talking to him and his green light was still on. It was unbelievable. What a joke the press is. NYT actually said they had the story but decided to not run it because it was too close to election time. What a crock.

[leveymg]

53. I recall that, as well.

Looked at my wife at the time, and said, "What the Hell was that about?"

Well, now I know.

[jazzjunkysue]

66. Did you really hear him say "Let me finish?" Really!

:rofl:

[greeneyedboy]

71. yes, on national TV. i remember raising my eyebrows at that one.

[greeneyedboy]

72. can't someone block the signal somehow? make * ad-lib?

now that would be entertaining. i for one don't think he's a moron (unfortunately) but he's so incurious and self-absorbed that he couldn't possibly be bothered to actually learn and analyze facts.

[windbreeze]

74. yes, absolutely

no doubt about it, clear as day...."let me finish"....

[jazzjunkysue]

112. Absolutely hysterical. Who says politics aren't fun?

[rainy]

75. Absolutely

So did my husband. We sat there with our mouths open. Shocked. Waiting for the full discussion after the interview. It never came.

[Laurab]

84. I heard it too! For sure

it was SO odd - it was during one of the debates, and it was really, really noticeable, because no one else was trying to talk....

[Wednesdays]

96. Could you imagine if he got into a heated argument with his feeder

on live TV?

(* stands there shouting to no one in particular, "Shut up, you bastard! I told you to stop bothering me!" Etc.)

:rofl:

"Oh, those voices in my head!"

[leveymg]

59. How's that? Did you hear a Canadian accent?

Or was it the index finger poking out of Bush's chest that gave it away?

[HuffleClaw]

57. this was proven long ago and was given no 'real' media coverage

i doubt it'll be 'newsworthy' now. a pity.

63. "I'm not sure them's his words exactly but that's his voice alright ..."

from an old Pogo cartoon, with J. Edgar Hoover playing tatpe recordings (IIRC)

[jazzjunkysue]

69. I'm watching it now. he does switch between "official" sounding

answers and his own "Shoot from the hip" BS.

When he's listening, he keeps stopping every few words. And then the answer he give has no emotion in it. It's like he's reading a menu.

Then, when he picks up the pace, it's obvious he's no longer listening, and expressing himself directly. And the answers get quite 5th grade. He starts using slang and gets defensive.

It sure does look like he's negotiating a feed as well as the reporters.

[chill_wind]

73. NYT, also Woodward had it & killed it. F.A.I.R. expose' in 2004.

Nelson was the Jet Propulsion Lab scientist who analyzed the debate photos.

Some of the MSM seemed to find him and his investigation quite credible, then chickened out---- "too close to the election"

That's a lot of power The Fourth Estate holds over us and the free world. Could they have changed history?

“A lot of hoops”

While the New York Times seems to have been the only newspaper to write an investigative story on the Bush bulge and then kill it, it was not the only paper to duck the story about the bulge and its dramatic confirmation and delineation by Nelson. In addition to the L. A. Times and the two local papers that showed no interest, Nelson says that the same day he learned that his story had been killed at the Times, October 28, he received a phone call from Washington Post assistant managing editor Bob Woodward, famous for his investigative reports on Watergate. "Woodward said he’d heard the Times had killed the story and asked me if I could send the photos to him," says Nelson.

The JPL scientist did so immediately, via email, noting that he had also been in touch with Salon magazine. He says Woodward then sent his photographs over to a photo analyst at the paper to check them for authenticity, which Nelson says was confirmed.

A day later, realizing time was getting short, Nelson called Woodward back. Recalls Nelson: "He told me, 'Look, I’m going to have to go through a lot of hoops to get this story published. You’re already talking to Salon. Why don’t you work with them?'" (Several emails to Woodward asking him about Nelson's account have gone unanswered.)

At that point Nelson, despairing of getting the pictures in a major publication, went with the online magazine Salon. This reporter subsequently asked Nelson to do a similar photo analysis of digital images of Bush’s back taken from the tapes of the second and third presidential debates. The resulting photos, which also clearly show the cueing device and magnetic loop harness under his jacket on both occasions, were posted, together with Nelson’s images from the first debate, on the news website of Mother Jones magazine (10/30/04).

Quite the read: January/February 2005

77. Now, What could we feed to Bush's Earpiece?

Yeah, I know the SS would grab me and I'd spend the rest of Bush's reign in Gitmo; but, I can dream. So what could we feed into that earpiece? MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

How about:

• White noise at the threshold of pain (Bush crumples or starts swearing!)
  
• George Carlin's Seven Words You Can't Say on TV routine
  
• The soundtrack to Michael Jackson's Thriller (imagine Bush Moonwalking!)
  
• "I'm going to play this town like a harp from hell!" (Danny DeVito from Batman II)
  
• For country fans: "You Ain't Woman Enough to Take my Man!" (Jeff Gannon & Prince Bandar will love this one!)

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

89. Remember Steve Carell in "Bruce Almighty"?

When Jim Carrey is jealous that Carell got chosen as anchorman over him, he uses his "God power" to make Carell babble incoherently during the newscast. It would be great to see that happen with *.

Of course, no one would know if * was babbling because he was being fed garbage or because he didn't have the earpiece in.

Another trick is to feed the speaker's voice back to him with a one second delay. It is virtually impossible to continue talking when that happens.

[young_at_heart]

79. That photo makes it soooo obvious! Why don't they care?

I'd like my president to be able to speak on his own.

97. Even much more obvious in the picture at F.A.I.R. link:

83. Here's the amazing thing: even with someone feeding him

responses, the Pretzeldent comes off as a moran who cannot string together a coherent thought or a complete sentence. Whoa! Something gets lost between the thinker who is transmitting, and W who is ostensibly receiving. This should be the final closing chapter of Bushie's little escapade. Before the impeachment and war criminal trials, of course.

88. Two of us listened to our Tivo's ABC TV raw audio of the press conference

several times using all Sony gear (Tivo, TV and headphones) at full TV volume. Background noise on the audio track was very loud. One of us (the one with bad hearing) could hear nothing between the participants' speech. The other (the one with better hearing) could hear slight "whispering" sounds just above the noise that sometimes mimicked the cadence or rhythm of the phrases Bush next spoke. However, these sounds were not understandable as English words or phrases, and it wasn't clear if they were coming from the podium area or from members of the audience.

We didn't have time to re-record or apply noise reduction or EQ to the audio track, and didn't check the SAP, so we saved the program on Tivo to experiment with over the weekend.

No wonder he complains about his job being such "hard work" if he can't make complete sentences in his own mind and has to always repeat what someone else is telling him.

I've heard drunkards coin words but they were drunk at the time and had the same difficulty speaking in sentences as well as difficulty standing up.

108. does this thread have anything real on it, or is it just asking

if anyone got a recording?
