		<description>&lt;p&gt;I just read this story and had not yet read the comments. Someone may already have predicted what the next move will be: The Republicans will float the story that there’s something suspicious here, that the Democratic Sec. of State is trying to make it look as though the website is under attack from them AS A COVER for shenanigans she will be pulling.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I’m glad you mentioned Blackwell. Ohio has been on my radar for quite a while now,for several reasons.John McCain,early on, had selected Pastor Rod Parsley of Ohio as one of his spritual advisors,along with John Hagee. Rod Parsley was instrumental in the Blackwell campaign. Parsley created a poltical force called Patriot Pastors to mobilize votes for Blackwell.. Parsley  is a proponent of prosperity gospel and has HUGE mega church and TV ministry. Now, little has been said of Carl Linder,also of Ohio. This was Charles Keating’s partner. Remember Keating Five? Here’s some links. A whole thread  could be done on the Ohio issues and the significance to the GOP this state holds.&lt;/p&gt;

McCain Still Receives Big $$$s from Keating S&amp;L Figure Linked to BCCI and Organized Crime&lt;br /&gt;
Posted by leveymg in General Discussion Aug 21st 2008,&lt;br /&gt;
 A lot of people are familiar with S&amp;L crook Charles Keating’s illegal contributions to John McCain in the 1980s. What most don’t know, however, was that Keating was implicated in the BCCI takeover of a number of S&amp;Ls, including his own. With me, so far? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Carl Lindner, an Ohio billionaire with CIA and underworld connections who owned Chiquita Bananas, was Charles Keating’s original partner, banker, and mentor. Lindner got Keating wrapped up with schemes involving the usual cast of BCCI characters, shady Saudi bankers, the Bush family, and Iran-Contra money laundering. Keating was always a sort of pass-through guy, without any real money of his own. But, a lot of money flowed through Keating to McCain and his wife, Cindy, in an Arizona real estate scam. Lindner who was recently convicted of financing Right-wing death squads in Colombia, is still giving big, dirty campaign checks to McCain. Now, that’s a story that the American people need to hear.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;leveymg’s Journal - THE CRIMES AND COVERUPS OF JOHN McCAIN, “REFORMER” Jun 3, 2008 … Like the Bush Family, McCain had his Hand in the BCCI and S&amp;L Scandals &lt;a href=&quot;http://journals.democraticunderground.com/…&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://journals.democraticunderground.com/…&lt;/a&gt; - 48k&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;McCain Backer’s Firm Pleaded Guilty To Funding Terrorist Group In Colombia …Jul 2, 2008 … Late last week, Lindner co-hosted a $25000-per-person fundraiser for McCain and the Republican Party in the wealthy Indian Hills …&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/07/02/m…&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/07/02/m…&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;My fervent hope is that if we do prevail in electing a working majority in the Senate and Congress, and the presidency, one of the major tasks, among the myriad of others, will be to overhaul from the bottom to the top our electoral system.  Do you think this is at all possible or are these wicked systems so beneficial to them all that that is something that will not be possible?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;This has all the marks of ProMIS software which has been around since the late 70s and was stolen from its creator by the Reagan Justice Dept.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;ProMIS works as a Trojan horse. Computers affected can be accessed remotely with data being sent to a satellite. Jonathan Pollard used a version of this to transfer secrets to Israel when he worked for ONI.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The last people who Brunner should let get involved would be Homeland Security types although they might try to hijack the investigation as a “terrorist-related” incident.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
