Chapter One: The 2000 election, Bush family machinations in Florida and, possibly other states.
Chapter Two: While we do not believe in many of the conspiracy theories which have swirled around the attacks of 9/11, we have learned too much to believe the official conspiracy theory either. There needs to be an independent investigation, either by a truly independent commission, not composed of Republican or Democratic Congressmen/women, even retired ones or an Independent Counsel with a wide latitude of investigative powers, including subpoena powers as desecribed below. The commission I would consider trustworthy, would be composed of retired federal law enforcement along with independent judges with a background in Constitutional Law and criminal law. Included as well should be intelligence agents and officials from various agencies of the executive, also retired and people from other backgrounds who might prove useful to the Commission This commission should have the broadest subpoena power possible. That subpoena power would include the ability to subpoena top officials of the Bush administration starting with but not limited to, ex-President Bush, ex-vice president Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, Douglas Feith and other Neoconservatives, both within and outside of the administration, but who were involved in the writing and signing of the PNAC manifesto. (Much Like Mein Kemp or Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto, this ducument should be read by every American. Actually, it should have been read by every American by the end of 2002.) Had more Americans been aware of that document, which. at least, at that time was easily found on the Internet there would most surely have been much more serious resistance to the Iraq war. (The reason I don't know or care at the moment if the document has been scrubbed is because many of us have it.)
Whether or not that resistance would have stopped the war, we will never know, but it would sure as hell have made it harder for the administration which had Iraq in its sights during the first cabinet meeting, according to Paul O'Neil or since before the election, if Bush's pre-election, original biographer can be believed. He stated that George W. Bush explained to him that he wanted to be a war president because a war president can get much more done than a president who is not also an active commander-in-chief during wartime. He was fired after Karen Hughes read the first draft and she helped clean up Junior's autobiography with the help of another ghost writer.) When will Americans be allowed to know the whole necessary truth about our elected officials. Where is the simple resume? I don't care if someone smoked Cannabis once or twice in High school or college. I don't care if they snorted coke in their youth, as long as they stopped way before 40. (I would like for elected officials with barely limited power, like Cheney and Bush, to have a battery of psychological exams, especially when one or both seem quite delusional.)
As we all know, until the attacks of 9/11, George W. Bush was well on his way to a one term presidency which about half of the electorate believed was illegitimate in the first place. President Bush was fairly unimpressive as a chief executive and why on earth would we have expected anything else if we actually paid any attention to Mr. Bush's Resume. He had not succeeded in one business venture over which he had control; The businesses over which he had any controlling interest, Arbusto and Harken Energy went bust. He sold his stock in Harken before it was public news that Harken was failing and failed to inform the SEC for almost a year. That was when his father was VP I believe. As far as I know, he simply ran Arbusto into the ground. After one of his business failures, he was bailed out by none other than Salim bin Laden, Osama's brother, through a friend of his by the name of Jim Bath, another Texan. The only things he really had going for him was his name, Bush, though why I'll never know given the family history. He impressed the evangelicals with his salvation/born-again story of being saved from Alcoholism and his Episcopalian family by Billy Graham and his pastor in Texas. Praise the lord. Karl Rove would have thrown a grenade at anyone he faced during any election he decided to enter, and proved that to us all over and over. He had the GOP's real base behind him; the many corporations, the corporate officers who have benefited greatly from his and Cheney's co-presidency. The list is quite long and seedy.
3) The Iraq War: The lies and subterfuge with which some Congress-critters and a majority of the American people were Bush-whacked into believing some of the silliest scare tactics I have ever heard, convincing them to support a war that had nothing to do with what happened on 9/11. If there was really even a "one percent" chance that we were going to be attacked by drones spreading small pox bacteria, or something equally horrible, up and down the Eastern Seaboard, why wasn't universal health-care a top priority? If we were going to have to go to war in Afghanistan or Iraq, for real national security reasons, why weren't the captains of industry called to the White House to meet with the president, vice president, appropriate cabinet officials and leaders of congress and told that we were facing very high gas prices at some point, that we had to become less reliant on fossil fuels in the middle east and that they were going to have to retool and begin producing hybrids, hydro-cell, electric cars (Effective ways of building electric cars have been around for years), that high speed rails were going to become important in American life, just as the old rail way had helped build America to begin with, and notify other American companies of changes they may need to start thinking about. This administration should have told the Americans people that there was much need for entrepreneurship in greener energy.
The oil companies stood to gain. Why the tax cuts for them? (There were two oil men in the White House?) Why did the auto industry not receive the huge tax cuts in order to re-tool for the future, maybe to develop a highly cost effective "People's car," like the Volkswagen? Hitler was a horrible, monster, but even horrible monsters can have a good idea now and then. They just should never have power. Why were the people not asked to conserve energy, especially oil, and why were we not given leadership in effective ways of doing that and the where-with-all for all Americans to participate, even those who would not have the money to do what needed to be done to conserve energy? Instead we were asked to travel, fly if at all possible, and shop. Just think about that for a moment. There has been no leadership at all from the Bush administration. Just no bid contracts, war crimes and crimes against the Constitution, in other words, against the American people, as our Constitution and our right to vote and have our true vote counted is most precious to every American and both have been attacked with a vengeance by the Bush GOP, including Karl Rove.
4) Torture as policy, applauded by the Veep, Bush's network of gulags all over the world, with, of course Cheney's crown in "glorious Hell," Gitmo. Extraordinary rendition to Bush buddies' who head up other countries who will be happy to do our torturing for us. There is that really great guy who was Bush's new best friend when we went into Afghanistan. The dude in Uzbekistan, who boils people in oil. (Hey, that's better than blowing up frogs with M-80s, eh Junior?) Who can forget those pictures of what went on at Abu Ghraib? I know I never will. I was glad when the GOP got their way and no more of them were shown. We had all seen enough to know what was going on. Now, something must be done about it. It is past time. I do not recognize my country anymore. What I do see, makes me sick and ashamed.
5) Domestic Spying without so much as a "by your leave" from the FISA Court; spying on American emails, phone calls and finances, like bank statements and the like. "The program" as it was called was not made public until after the 2004 election, even though the NYT had the goods in the Spring of 2004. Am I the only one who wonders if this administration, already having shown us just how devious and evil they can be, didn't want the FISA court involved because the administration was spying on those whom they really consider their enemies, the political opposition; not only elected opposition but groups highly opposed to Bush policy, like the peace movement, for example. Other abuses of power to numerous to mention in this post, but I have to mention using the DOJ as a political hit squad, because it may take awhile before people trust the Justice department again, especially with so many career appointments made by the Bushites.
And here we have Chapter 6: My God, if this is true, this is a capital case, which may well lead to the discovery of other such cases, as we suspect that there are other capital cases, quite a few of them.
Are these people capable of such a thing? Is the Pope Catholic? From what I've heard, when Rove threaten people he scares the hell out of them. They are convinced he is capable of anything. Quite a few GOPers hate Rove and say so, more openly now.
By the way, while you are considering this, google Plane crashes, Democrats, Republicans. What's up with Democrats and airplanes?
Karl Rove Threatened Connell, Suspected of Sabotage and Murder
The fact that Connell was reportedly planning to 'tell all', perhaps implicating the White House, is motive enough for murder.
On October 31, Mr. Connell appeared before a federal judge in Ohio after being subpoenaed in a federal lawsuit investigating the rigging of the 2004 election under the direction of Karl Rove. The judge ordered Mr. Connell to testify under oath at a deposition on November 3rd, the day before the presidential election. Velvet Revolution received confidential information that the White House was extremely concerned about Mr. Connell talking about his illegal work for the White House and two Bush/Cheney 04 attorneys were dispatched to represent him.An associate of Mr. Connell's told VR that Mr. Connell was involved with the destruction of the White House emails and the setting up of the off-grid White House email system. Mr. Connell handled all of John McCain's computer work in the recent presidential campaign. VR has received direct evidence that the McCain campaign kept abreast of the legal developments against Mr. Connell by reading the VR dedicated website, www.rovecybergate.com.
VR demands that the Ohio Attorney General and the United States Justice Department conduct a complete investigation into the activities of Mr. Connell and determine whether there was any foul play in his death. VR demands that federal law enforcement officials place the following people under protective custody pending this investigation.
This case stinks! If it is not fully investigated, there should be hell to pay. Rove's threats, the stolen elections, Rove's extremely close ties to George W. Bush, himself a war criminal and mass murderer are just a few factors that demand, that literally scream: Investigate!
I should not be surprised if a fair and thorough investigation should implicate George W. Bush and numerous others in the GOP leadership.
A tipster close to the McCain campaign disclosed to VR in July that Mr. Connell’s life was in jeopardy and that Karl Rove had threatened him and his wife, Heather. VR’s attorney, Cliff Arnebeck, notified the United States Attorney General , Ohio law enforcement and the federal court about these threats and insisted that Mr. Connell be placed in protective custody. VR also told a close associate of Mr. Connell’s not to fly his plane because of another tip that the plane could be sabotaged. Mr. Connell, a very experienced pilot, has had to abandon at least two flights in the past two months because of suspicious problems with his plane. On December 18, 2008, Mr. Connell flew to a small airport outside of Washington DC to meet some people. It was on his return flight the next day that he crashed.As I have said repeatedly for over ten years --the GOP is NOT a political party. It is, rather, a crime syndicate, a mob, a kooky cult!

Heather Connell who is the owner of GovTech Solutions, Randy Cole, the former President of GovTech Solutions, and Jeff Averbeck, the CEO of SmartTech in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Both GovTech and SmartTech have been implicated in the rigging of the 2000 and 2004 elections and the White House email scandal. Our prior request to have Mr. Connell protected went unheeded and now he is dead. --Velvet Revolution
