"Gov. Charlie Crist wants to scrap the controversial touch-screen voting machines used in Broward, Palm Beach and 13 other counties and replace them with optical scanners that would count paper ballots. "It's important to make sure people have confidence in our voting system. We all remember 2000. That's why this issue is so important. What could be more important to democracy than ensuring the integrity of our elective process? It's at the very foundation of it all. You go to an ATM machine, you get some kind of a record. You go to the gas station, you get a record. If there's a need for a recount, it's important to have something to count," the governor said Wednesday morning at a gathering of Florida newspaper editors and reporters."

CNN Reports Iran behind Karbala "Trojan Horse" Attack

http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/meast/01/30/iraq.main/index.html

"The Pentagon is investigating whether a recent attack on a military compound in Karbalawas carried out by Iranians or Iranian-trained operatives, two officials from separate U.S. government agencies said. "People are looking at it seriously," one of the officials said. That official added the Iranian connection was a leading theory in the investigation into the January 20 attack that killed five soldiers. The second official said: "We believe it's possible the executors of the attack were Iranian or Iranian-trained." Five U.S. soldiers were killed in the sophisticated attack by men wearing U.S.-style uniforms, according to U.S. military reports."

"Some Iraqis speculate that the IRGC has already started a campaign of revenge with the killing of five American soldiers in Karbala on Jan. 20, nine days after the arrest of the IRGC members in Erbil. As the logic of the rumor goes, five American soldiers were killed for five Iranians taken; Karbala was an IRGC message to release its colleagues — or else. The speculation that Karbala was an IRGC operation may have as much to do with Iraqis' respect for IRGC capacity for revenge as it does with the truth. Nevertheless, we should count on the IRGC gearing up for a fight. And we shouldn't underestimate its capacities. Aside from arming the opposition, the IRGC is capable of doing serious damage to our logistics lines. I called up an American contractor in Baghdad who runs convoys from Kuwait every day and asked him just how much damage."Let me put it this way,"he said."In Basra today the currency is the Iranian toman, not the Iraqi dinar."He said his convoys now are forced to pay a 40% surcharge to Shi'a militias and Iraqi police in the south, many of whom are affiliated with IRGC."

This screams of a false-flag operation. It has smelled fishy from the beginning. Soliders, speaking english, in American uniforms, driving American vehicles enter an American compound and, at first reported, kill American soldiers and leave unchallenged through the front door. Follow up reporting (after the absurdity of the initial story was questioned) showed the Americans were not, in fact, killed at the post, but kidnapped by the American "imposters" in a "Trojan Horse" ambush and killed in a neighboring province.

Here's an easy question. Which military has english speaking soliders, arms, vehicles and access to high security areas in Iraq? Answer: the American military. End of story. This event stinks now more than it did last week. Stay tuned.

Neocon War Profiteers: Blackwater USA

http://www.democracynow.org/article.pl?sid=07/01/26/1559232

...And what’s really frightening is that you have a man in Erik Prince, who is a neo-crusader, a Christian supremacist, who has been given over a half a billion dollars in federal contracts, and that's not to mention his black contracts, his secret contracts, his contracts with foreign friendly governments like Jordan. This is a man who espouses Christian supremacy, and he has been given, essentially, allowed to create a private army to defend Christendom around the world against secularists and Muslims and others, and has really been brought into the fold. He refers to Blackwater as the sort of FedEx of the Pentagon. He says if you really want a package to get somewhere, do you go with the postal service or do you go with FedEx? This is how these people view themselves. And it embodies everything that President Eisenhower prophesied would happen with the rise of an unchecked military-industrial complex. You have it all in Blackwater."

This group is about as shadowy as it gets. I hope.

Vienna Actionist Adolph Frohner Dies at 72

http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/obituaries/sfl-ofrohnerjan27,0,2594203.story?coll=sfla-news-obituaries

"Mr. Frohner, who once walled himself in behind brick and mortar for three days to explore what it meant to be an isolated observer, died suddenly of natural causes, public broadcaster ORF said.

Details of his illness were not disclosed.

His death came only five days after he ceremoniously broke ground on the Frohner Forum, a new museum being built in his name in the Danube River town of Krems, 40 miles west of Vienna, ORF said. It said the gallery would open later in the year as planned."

Nonlethal Weapons: A Primer In Honor of the Army's New Ray Gun

http://www.angelfire.com/or/mctrl/nonlethal.html

INSS Occasional Paper 15, USAF Institute for National Security Studies, USAF Academy, Colorado, (1997?)

My faves are the "Hologram Prophet - The projection of the image of an ancient god over an enemy capitol whose public communications have been seized and used against it in a massive psychological operation," and "Polysound - Acoustic, High Intensity Sound . Loud music was used by American forces to drive Manual Norriega (sic) from the Vatican Embassy in Panama in 1990. Also known as polysound." Cool names, yes?
We used Styx Polysound to drive Noriega nuts, now he's ready to get out of prison and get back to work (whatever that is).
