The Future of America Has Been Stolen
By Jeff Diehl
May 24th, 2007
Investigative reporter Greg Palast says 4.5 million votes will be shoplifted
in 2008, thanks largely to the "Rove-bots" that have been placed in the Justice
Department following the U.S. Attorney firings. Being the guy who uncovered the
voter "purge lists" of 2000 that disenfranchised black voters, he's worth
listening to, even if the mainstream press chooses not to.
This time around, he claims to have 500 emails that the House subpoenaed and
Karl Rove claims were deleted forever. They prove definitively, says Palast,
that the Justice Department is infested with operatives taking orders from Rove
to steal upcoming elections for Republicans and permanently alter the
Department.
The "clownocracy" of Bush and Rove is criminal and even evil in its attempts
to steal past and future elections, according to Palast, and can only be
stopped if "Democrats...find their souls and find their balls."
In an updated new version of his best-selling book, Armed Madhouse, Palast
lays out the case for the future theft of the presidency, along with lots of
other Executive malfeasance. I chatted with him about the role of the Justice
Department in this scheme, and what it means for the viability of our
"democracy."
PUBLISHER'S UPDATE: Here are the 500 emails! -JD
JEFF DIEHL: First off, the "lost" emails. I guess you're confident those 500
emails aren't themselves a hoax? Considering the source? [John Wooden, the man
behind the spoof site, whitehouse.org, forwarded them on to Palast after
someone accidentally sent them to Wooden's georgewbush.org domain.]
GREG PALAST: Oddly, the GOP verified their authenticity to BBC. I almost fell
over dead when they did that.
JD: How did they do that exactly?
GP: We asked them on camera. They did not deny they were the party's internal
emails -- just disagreed what the "caging" lists were. Saying, for example,
they were "donor" lists. Men in homeless shelters?
Remember, there's no First Amendment in England. I'm wrong, I'm sued, I'm
broke, I'm toast.
JD: Let's move on to former Justice Department counsel (and Regent University
graduate) Monica Goodling's recent testimony in front of the House Judiciary
Committee, since it's so fresh...
GP: The blondeling underling of the Police State. The lady was trying to tell
us something important, but the dim bulbs of the U.S. press and the committee
dolts wouldn't listen. She began by accusing her bosses of perjury. The issue
was her allegation that they knew all about "caging." And no one asked her one
damn question about it. Like what is "caging" and why would they commit perjury
to cover it up?
JD: Rep. Linda Sanchez (D-CA) asked, and Goodling said, "It has to do with
direct mail."
GP: And that was it. D'oh! It's not about "direct mail." Direct mail has to
do with Victoria's Secret and stuff like that. This was all about stealing the
2004 -- and 2008 -- elections. That's why she wanted immunity. She was afraid
it would all unravel, the caging game...but she had nothing to fear.
JD: Well, it is a direct mail term, but it's also a voter supression term. Do
no senators know that, not even Committee Chair John Conyers?
GP: Conyers knows -- and he knows me. He's keeping his powder dry. The others
are clueless.
Caging works like this. Hundreds of thousands of Black and Hispanic voters
were sent letters -- do not forward. Letters returned as undeliverable
("caged") were used as evidence the voter didn't live at their registered
address. The GOP goons challenged these voters' right to cast ballots -- and
their votes were lost.
But whose letters were caged? Here's where the game turns to deep evil. They
targeted Black students on vacation, homeless men -- and you'll love this --
Black soldiers sent overseas. They weren't living at their home voting address
because they were shivering under a Humvee in Falluja.
JD: As you put it in regard to election rigging, 2000 was about "purge
lists," 2004 was about "caging," and 2008 will be about "verification." Can you
briefly explain the difference between these?
GP: Sure. In 2000, I cracked the computer disks (CD-ROMs then) from Katherine
Harris' office showing 56,000 names of voters "purged" from voter rolls as
felons who aren't allowed to vote. In fact, every one -- every one -- was an
innocent voter, though most were guilty of VWB -- Voting While Black. That was
the 2000 "purge."
In 2004, it was nearly identical. Except, instead of calling voters "felons,"
they called them "suspect" voters, fraudulently using a false voting address.
The effect was the same: the voter would lose their registration; or their vote
on election day when they showed to vote; or, in the case of soldiers, their
absentee ballot would be challenged and tossed.
JD: You claim the reason for Democrat inaction in election scandals is
because of racism, that the white caucus is bigger than the black caucus. But
don't Democrats gain by making sure black people are enfranchised?
GP: Which Democrats? The huge purge and block of voters in Georgia [were done
by] reptiles like Zell Miller in control of the Georgia Democratic Party.
There's an awful lot of Democrats who would not win primaries if dark-skinned
citizens could just vote any time they pleased.
JD: My mind goes back to Conyers. What did you mean earlier by "keeping his
powder dry?"
GP: We talk. 'Nuff said.
JD: Fair enough. So you're working also with former U.S. Attorney for New
Mexico, David Iglesias, yes?
GP: Claro que si.
JD: I was watching Chris Matthews' TV show -- "Softball," as you've called it
-- and he asked Iglesias what his long term plans were -- if he was writing a
book. Iglesias indicated that he was, and also, that he wanted a TV show
similar to Matthews' at some point, and seemed to be totally serious. Given
that Iglesias has been willing to go "along with the game" in the past, are you
concerned that his recent turn might be motivated by opportunism?
GP: I don't care if he's motivated by a love of Barbie dolls. He's been
pushed by the Rove-bots to expose the game. I'll take it anyway I can get it --
the facts, ma'am.
JD: Do you have a wide-angle view of the current Administration's strategy
with the Justice Department, and if so, give us the summary. Is it about
election theft, or is it mostly about stocking the lake for future conservative
judge appointments?
GP: Yes. First, it's elections. They don't want the voters making any foolish
choices. Specifically, while the attention's been focused 100% on the firings,
no one is talking about the hirings. That's what Goodling was trying to get
across.
The key: at the "Pearl Harbor Day Massacre," they replaced the prosecutors
with Rove-bots, a sleeper cell of anti-Constitutional saboteurs who will
explode in 2008, led by the new prosecutor for Arkansas, Tim Griffin.
JD: Talk a little bit about the relevance of Tim Griffin -- the perp who
became prosecutor -- and Arkansas in 2008.
GP: It was Griffin who directed the "caging" ops for the GOP. Caging, by the
way, is illegal. Law Professor Bobby Kennedy pointed out it violates the Voting
Rights Act of 1965 -- and I'd add, as a former racketeering investigator, mail
fraud statutes. So Griffin's a felon -- now U.S. Attorney.
JD: Is Kennedy still actively publicizing this?
GP: Yes. The incriminating email is reproduced right in Armed Madhouse.
That's why Griffin and Goodling were high-fiving over the fact that no one's
picked up the investigations of that "British reporter" Palast.
The key thing is, Griffin is not just "involved," he is directing the scheme.
His denial was confidential -- had to be subpoenaed. Remember, as Goodling
testified, the line of the Bushies is that Griffin had nothing to do with
caging.
JD: So is Congress eventually going to get to all this? Is that the end game
with the Justice Department investigation?
GP: No, Congress won't do squat. Did anyone do anything about the felon
purge? It went backwards: Bush signed the Help America Vote Act. God forbid.
