American Conspiracies - Jesse Ventura [85]
“A number of people with expertise are of the opinion that this was a hit,” Ohio attorney Arnebeck told us. “There is a method called electromagnetic pulse technology, where you can disrupt the electronics in an airplane and it’s very hard to detect, particularly after the fact. The motive would be that Connell was an extraordinary individual in terms of his knowledge and expertise in a fairly vast racketeering kind of conspiracy, in that it involved Karl Rove, business groups, multiple elections, and a fairly broad geography.”41
Spoonamore says this: “I found out something about the system that Mike had on board, where he fundamentally had a system without mechanical controls that was computer operated. Eyewitnesses on the ground say all the plane’s lights turned off, the engine stalled. At that point, he would have regained manual control by wire, he flattens it out and tries to fix the problem. But when he turns the engine back on, the plane guns itself and dives into the ground. So what happened? Simple. You program a chip. They changed the chip that runs the plane. Despite the fact that FAA rules require you leave the site alone until daylight, completely document and photograph it, instead they pick up the entire plane and haul it to a Lockheed-Martin hangar. Trust me, by the time the FAA started pulling it apart, the right chip was back in the computer.”
To say what happened to Connell was weird timing is an understatement. Here’s a guy getting ready to be a whistle-blower on the biggest series of election frauds in our history. Whether it was an accident or by design, he was silenced. Gee, what bad luck this guy had. Hmmmm. ...
Spoonamore, for one, is scared that if we continue with electronic voting, stolen elections are going to happen again. He says most of these companies are run by far-right evangelical Christians. “A tiny group of people who call themselves Christians, but who clearly do not believe in Christ’s message or our democracy, seem to repeatedly be behind every questionable voting outcome. They aren’t Christians. They are fascists. Fascists who don’t have the balls to go public, round people up, and kill them, except on very rare occasions—like Mike Connell.”
WHAT SHOULD WE DO NOW?
It’s obvious that, to avoid the specter of vote fraud always hanging over our elections, we’ve got to outlaw the electronic voting machines and return to a system where there’s a “paper trail.” How can we not see the blatant conflict of interest that currently exists, with the computer companies and the vote-counters being dominated by the Republican Party? Give the Democrats enough years in power, and you can bet they’d follow the same pattern. While we’re after real reform, let’s finally abolish the antiquated Electoral College and allow the popular vote to prevail. And let’s open the ballot and the debates to legitimate third-party candidates, and break the stranglehold that big money has on the two-party system.
CHAPTER TWELVE
WHAT REALLY HAPPENED ON SEPTEMBER 11?
THE INCIDENT: On September 11, 2001, four airplanes were hijacked on American soil and crashed into the Twin Towers, the Pentagon, and a field in Pennsylvania.
THE OFFICIAL WORD: The 19 hijackers were all fanatic Muslim terrorists linked to al-Qaeda and its ringleader, Osama bin Laden.
MY TAKE: Our government engaged in a massive cover-up of what really happened, including its own ties to the hijackers. Unanswered questions remain about how the towers were brought down, and whether a plane really struck the Pentagon. The Bush Administration either knew about the plan and allowed it to proceed, or they had a hand in it themselves.
“The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it; ignorance may deride it. But
