RFK, JR AND GREG PALAST: VOTE RIGGING AND SUPRESSION AHEAD OF THE
2008 ELECTION
GOP ATTACKS ON AMERICAN VOTERS TURN DESPERATE, UGLY, AND DANGEROUS
‘ The GOP continues to resist attempts to subpoena Michael Connell, a shady Republican computer operative who programmed the 2000 Bush–Cheney web site. Connell was also hired by former Ohio Secretary of State J. Kenneth Blackwell in 2004 to tabulate the Ohio vote count. Under Connell, Ohio’s vote totals were shunted to a computer bank in the same basement in Chattanooga, Tennessee, that housed the servers of the Republican National Committee. In the early hours of the morning after election day, vote totals mysteriously began shifting from Kerry to Bush, swinging the 2004 election. Connellk’s cyber–security industry colleague Stephen Spoonamore, a Republican and former McCain supporter, has said that Connell may be able to shed light on vote count rigging in the 2008 vote count as well. Attorneys in the King-Lincoln–Bronzeville civil rights lawsuit have thus far been unable to secure Connell’s sworn testimony.
As the moment of truth arrives, McCain–Palin attacks based on race, alleged ‘terrorist’ ties and more are sure to increasingly dominate the GOP campaign. But far more insidious will be an all–out assault on voter registration in the name of ‘voter fraud,’ and on finding new ways to undermine the national vote, most importantly on electronic voting machines of the kind programmed by Michael Connell.’
INDIANA: THOUSANDS OF VOTER REGISTRATION FORMS FAKED
THE MARKET RALLIED YESTERDAY, SO NOW EVERYTHING IS OK? ‘Wall Street in looking over the wreckage of the week, has come generally to the opinion that high grade investment issues can be bought now, without fear of a drastic decline. There is some difference of opinion as to whether not the correction must go further, but everyone realizes that the worst is over, and that there are bargains for those who are willing to buy conservatively and live through the immediate irregularity’.

McCain – Palin "A clear and present danger"
In a brief Special Comment, Keith Olbermann expresses his disapproval of the McCain/Palin campaigns lynch–mob mentality and their refusal to discourage surrogates and supporters from threatening Barack Obama at GOP campaign rallies.
Keith Olbermann calls out John McCain and Sarah Palin on their disgraceful campaign and support of hateful comments by their supporters. Their silence is deafing indeed
Is McCain a lot sicker than we know?
US security officials could soon be screening potential terror suspects with a new type of technology capable of detecting ‘hostile intent’.
Thanks to allies in Congress, a midlevel worker extracted nearly $350 million for items the Pentagon did not want.

Russia’s Crash ‘Pretty Much the Same’ as 1929
The 67 percent decline in Russian equities this year resembles the U.S. stock market crash of 1929 because of the damaging effect of highly leveraged investors, the head of Russia’s Micex Stock Exchange said.
Russian stocks have suffered three days of declines greater than 14 percent in the last month, spurred in part by leveraged investors reducing their holdings after margin calls from their brokers. Speculators making bets with borrowed money also contributed to the 1929 stock–market crash in the U.S.
