************************
In a move resembling the uprising of the fascist mobs which brought Mussolini
to power in 1922, pro-Bush mobs stormed the offices of the Dade County
Canvassing Board earlier today. Shouting "Let us in, " "No more Gore" and
other pro-Bush slogans, the mob rushed into the offices, overwhelming
authorities, and engaging in what CNN called "a near riot." Through
intimidation, the threat of force, and mass action against the legally
constituted authorities, these mobs coerced the Canvassing Board into
suspending the manual recount. The "black shirt" aspect of this affair is
being downplayed by the mainstream media, but there are strong indications
that the board had decided on a complete recount until the mobs stormed the
Dade County Canvassing Board premises.
�
CNN correspondent Bill Schneider reported,
�
"I saw something I thought I would never see. A near riot by Republicans.
Republicans are not the kind of people to riot." [He's not allowing himself
to call a riot a riot, that might get him in trouble, hence it was a, quote,
"near riot"]
�
He observed that, "The canvassing board is under tremendous pressure." CNN's
interlocutor asked, Are you surprised by what appears to be a complete
turnaround on the part of the Board? Does it makes sense that they would go
to the extent of "staging a near riot perhaps to intimidate the Dade County
Canvassing Board"?
�
Schneider replied, "That is part of the game plan." He went on to add that
all forces are in play, and that the Republicans felt such moves were
necessary for them to achieve their goals.
�
There was no tone of condemnation, or moral indignation at the use of mobs by
the Republicans to coerce the board. As usual, the mainstream media supports
virtually any illegal or intimidating "mass action" when employed for elite
interests. Mass action on the part of disenfranchised blacks, progressive
working class forces, or
"strident" radicals would be met with cries of horror on the networks and
standard news cable channels.
�
"Tempers flare in South Florida," said one correspondent introducing the
story. The notion of a black shirt coup, a la Mussolini, is alien to the
corporate controlled� journalists.
�
The alternative media should seriously analyze such a notion. This reporter
noted in a previous release that the Bush family had connections with vast
numbers of covert assets, especially in Florida. George Herbert Walker Bush,
former head of the CIA, employed these assets against Fidel Castro in Cuba,
against the Sandinistas, and elsewhere in Latin America. These assets, many
of which are based in the far right-wing Cuban community in Florida, were
spawned by the creation of "operation mongoose," a CIA black operations
group. They originally included thousands of mercenaries on the CIA payroll,
and millions of dollars worth of front businesses. They have been employed
both inside and outside the US, according the de-classified
documents. Bush Senior's present connection to these assets has been
commented on by numerous and domestic observers, though the issue has been
ignored by the corporate press.
�
Make no mistake. The Bush family is prepared to use both force and the THREAT
of force to attain their goals. This is only the first taste of Bushite
tactics during the current crisis.

Here is how CNN reported this:
�
"in a huge blow to Gore's bid to win more Florida votes, and with them the
White House, election officials in Florida's Miami-Dade County today abruptly
called off a hand recount of presidential ballots. It means no recounts at
all will be added when the county submits its final tally. .Instead, the
board voted unanimously to use the original election returns compiled
immediately after the November 7 balloting.
�
THE STUNNING ACTION reverses a decision made JUST A FEW HOURS EARLIER when
the panel said it would limit the county recount to 10,750 "undervotes" --
ballots on which no vote was registered by counting machines.
