Thank God For The Black Media, CSPAN, WWW, Bloggers, The Free Press, and all the Independent Media!!! On January 6, 2005 a group of “American Super Patriots” made presentations that more than rivaled the “Gettysburg Address,” Or “Nathan Hales Give me Liberty or give me death.” This group was made up of both white and Black Congresspersons alike. The subject was “Voter Civil Rights” and “The Stolen Elections of 2000 and 2004.”

On January 8, 2004 in reviewing the news on all traditional News Channels. You could count the number time this event was carried on three fingers. In contrast, the WWW, CSPAN, Independent Media and Bloggers violated the covenant of the Traditional Media and went against the Military and Administration and decided that this event did not jeopardize our country at war and "did not provide aid and comfort to an undeclared enemy," the terrorist.

Vice President Cheney's health has long been a source of concern, given his heart problems. And now there are suggestions that the condition of President Bush's heart might be a cause for concern. We are not dabbling in hypotheticals here or metaphors about his initial stinted response to the tsunami disaster. I draw your attention to a riveting report by C.L. Hallmark, run just before Christmas by Indymedia, Houston (http://houston.indymedia.org/
news/2004/12/35839.php).

Using file photos, Hallmark demonstrates, convincingly, in my view, that George W. Bush "is wearing a medical device for 'persons at risk of cardiac arrest.' It is a LifeVest wearable defibrillator. He started using it sometime after his January 2002 fainting spell, which was attributed to choking." This was the notorious pretzel incident, when said pretzel lodged in Bush's throat, thus stimulating the vagus nerve to send a signal to his heart, slowing it down and reducing blood flow so much he passed out, according to White House physician Col. Richard J. Tubb, M.D.

Just like the leadup to Iraq, the mass media missed another opportunity to report on what is really going on. Just like the propoganda leading up to the invasion of Iraq, most of the media has been quietly ignoring what has gone on in Ohio, Florida and elsewhere. In effect, the mass media is now part of the problem, because they only act as a mouthpiece for the Executive branch. We no longer have a democracy in the media, that reports on two sides of any issue. The mass media oftens seems to do nothing more than pass through whatever the President says. They cannot seem to do any investigative reporting, even if a pink elephant is standing in the room, staring them in the face.

The current voting problems do not go away just because Republicans deny them and accuse those who are trying to bring light to this situation of being unpatriotic traitors, communists or terrorists. (Sound familiar?)

Together, grassroots/Internet activists have just moved three major American mountains.

On January 6, we forced an angry Republican-dominated Congress into an unprecedented confrontation with the Truth about Ohio's stolen election, about dubious vote counts nationwide, and ultimately about an electoral process worthy of zero public trust.

America's progressive grassroots further showed it could prompt the "democratic wing" of the Democratic Party to finally stand up for its constituents' right to vote, even in the face of the usual withering slander from Karl Rove's dirty tricksters.

And those of us who work the Internet showed we could spark a mass movement by exposing a national travesty despite relentless abuse from the mainstream media, which did absolutely nothing to uncover the systematic corruption of our electoral process.

In truth, the mountains shook even before the election.

Many of us Ohioans could see what was about to happen here long before November 2. With blatant manipulation, discrimination and intimidation being flaunted by the supremely arrogant Republican
