Bush was Wired in Debate

I thought the same thing! How is it, a guy who can't even read a damn telepromter without fucking up could deliver all those multi-syllabic words without missing any! (all right, except "vfrrrrcifrrrlssly" -- as in, "that's why they're fighting so vfrrrrcifrrrlsssly.")I've never seen him able to pull it together thru even ONE of his few, sparsely attended speeches. I was looking for an earpiece also.

Forgot where I read it, but somebody pointed out that where he said "Let me finish", it seemed apropos of nothing and he had plenty of time -- responding to in-ear handlers?

Is Bush using a wireless listening device? If so ...he is likely to be using a Completely-In-the-(ear)-Canal (CIC) earpiece, then it is likely to operate using FM technology.

People who or hard-of-hearing use assistive listening devices (ALDs) in conferences, theaters and other large auditoria to get Personal Address System sound delivered direct to their hearing aids or cochlear implants without any background noise which can be highly distracting.

If Bush and his handlers are using such a system, it is likely that it is operating using FM technology that is commonly found in ALDs, in which the latest short-distance transmitters uses a bandwidth between 216-217 mHertz. It is possible that a totally unique bandwidth was chosen, but then it would have to be customized, and not beyond the $$$ reach of the Bush campaign.

However, if we assume that Bush is wirelessly listening to his handlers, there maybe a way to check it out and listen in.

A Device made by Phonak (www.phonak.com) called a Microfield is able to scan the 216-217 mHz frequency range and will pick up any FM transmission in that range. (old technology uses 72-74 mHz, and the microfiled can also scan this bandwidht, but this range was recently sold off by FCC to a cellphone company, hence the newly designated 216-217 mHz bandwidth dedicated for ALDs).
(Unfortunately, Phonak does not list the Microfield, but I have a microfield receiver, and have seen them in operation)

Police scanners could also work if they scan a wide enough range of frequencies.

The most important criteria is to be within 100-300 feet of these extremely short-distance transmitters.

If an audience member wearing a microfield can detect such a transmission, it would be interesting to observe hopw the bush campaign respond to such evidence.

FYI, if you are interested in how high quality "pirated copy" or bootleg recordings of concerts are achived, it is simply by using an available ALD plugged directly into a recorder. If the listener could also record Bush Handlers talking to Bush, this would be excellent evidence.

Perhaps some-one can test this hypothesis at the next debate doing this. Please forward this suggestion to interested persons going to the Ohio, St. Louis and Pheonix debates.

Bush Blows Debate: Talks to Rove in Earpiece!
During the Presidential Debate Bush made what may be his most costly error- he exposed that he's using an earpiece to help him answer debate questions. In the middle of an answer bush said, "now let me finish" as if someone was interrupting him - yet nobody did - he was talking to the person in his earpiece.

Listen to the mp3 yourself- or watch the video at c-span

ffwd to 40 min 30 sec

There is an mp3 with the audio at NYC indymedia

I've been thinking for years that we need something major to blow this scam wide open, like Bush exposing himself on national tv. Last night he did just that.

The 'let me finish' quip was clearly bush talking to someone (probably Rove) in his earpiece- saying 'let me finish' (before you give me the next answer). He blows it 60 seconds into his 90 second reply- so no warning lights had gone off and the moderator had not motioned for him to end as there was plenty of time left.

There is really no other plausible explanation for this huge blunder- who was he telling to 'let him finish'? The voices in his head? Is he talking to God again? Shouldn't this be enough to warrant a major investigation of some sort- bush is so incompetent he needs an earpiece to speak in public! The entire Bush regime is a house of cards- let this be the first card pulled from the bottom tier - send this fool and his evil cabal to the ICC for War Crimes.

This info has been sent to the Kerry campaign, will they do anything with it? If it were Kerry's blunder, you know Bush's team would be all over him. If Kerry won't do the same, one must ask- why not?

by : John Reynolds

Your article has been posted to St. Louis, Cleveland and Arizona.

What would be really cool would be to substitute "our" verbiage for "theirs" and watch the fun.

Or play music from Bush's party days and give him a flashback, and watch him watch his hand. Have you ever looked at your hand, man? Cool, man.

... as far as i'm concerned, which would explain his total inability to coherently address questions.

many of the questions addressed to him, certainly the one enquiring his thoughts on those who have lost loved ones in afghanistan and iraq, requires empathy. bush has no empathy. that is an impossible, nonexistent emotion in his life. so he has to blunder and act his way through such a question, because he knows the words of empathy but not the music. he can recite the words, but he can't feel them, so the whole thing comes accross, at least in my opinion, as being acted and forced, like something somewhere is not right with the man.

all of his goddamn smirking and grimacing and fidgetting is also a sign of someone who's not right in the head. if the man is a psychopath, it's as if all of the emotional and intellectual processes in his mind are all fucked and scrambled, and the chaos inside him shows on his face. he probably can barely keep a lid on it, can barely keep himself from suddenly acting inappropriately or saying something totally rude, something only a psycho who's under a lot of stress would suddenly blurt out.

but all that being said, the possibility that he was wired is certainly a definite possibility! really would not be surprising. and also proof that bush really is just a manchurian candidate, a propped up ornament, an affable puppet responding to an unseen master.

He never stopped hunching over that podium. Never stood up straight.

Thanks for sending on the comments to the relevant cities.

A competing transmitter that substitutes (or jams) Rove's comments with reality or 60's party Music would be utterly befuddling for our figurine C-in-C ;7)

No wonder Cheney had to handhold Bush through the 9-11 commission.

Sunlight is the best disinfectant. Expose these "patriots" and lets see what they are truly made of.

It is safe to assume that president sports an inner ear receiver.
It is senseless to suggest that considerations for accessible frequency ranges
would be overlooked by the secret service.
Why? Unscrambled signals on common frequencies would be free game to anyone
who could acquire the necessary gear.
If this is something that truly intrigues you, you might begin investigating which ranges
the FCC, et al. have reserved or consider a threat to national security.

Instead, why not connect an antenna to a broad-range sweep generator modulated with an ear-splitting whistle or siren type signal, or even just popcorn noise. Any earpiece he's using - even if it's encrypted or frequency-hopping - will deliver this signal directly into his ear. It'd be wonderful to see him struggle with the dilemma of having to remove the damn earpiece in mid debate on national TV or wind up being driven nuts (how would you tell?), while simultaneously trying to answer the moderator's questions and keep track of what Kerry was saying.

I noticed he used the words free and freedom at least 25 times during the debate.These words have a profound affect on the sheepish voters.Great propaganda.Other words used often by Bush are children,God,family,values,terrorist,stronger,and,safer.At one point during the debate he stumbled on his words and said Sadam when he meant Bin Laden.

I noticed Rumsfeld made the "Saddam Hussein / Osama Bin Laden" freudian slip a few weeks back when he was giving his "state of the war-on-terror" speech, the one where he started out with the joke about his college football days.

Everybody in the audience politely pretended not to notice, or maybe it slipped by them too?

here's an invention highlighted in popular science, hypersonic sound. no ear implant needed, no wireless scanners would pick it up.

Unlike traditional speakers, which scatter sound, Norris' device streams it in a precise, laser-like beam for up to 150 yards with almost no degradation in quality or volume. If that seems incredible, trust me, it is.

When I met Norris in September he pointed the 7-inch-square emitter at me from 30 feet away. Suddenly I heard the sound of birds chirping. The noise didn't seem to emanate from his device; I felt like it was generated inside my noggin. Yet a guy just 2 feet away from me couldn't hear it.

 http://www.popsci.com/popsci/bown/article/0,16106,388134,00.html

Does the hypersonic sound device require line-of sight? If it can't go through walls, then it would have to be visibile to work. I've read reports that Bush had a noticeable bulge on the back of his 8,000 dollar suit. My wife, at the close of the debate, claims she saw a "curly wire" leading to Bush's right ear. He seems to have kept his left side to the audience and cameras. Does anyone have a photo or video of the end of the debate, where we might glimpse the right ear?

Here is a reference I read in the St. Louis IndyMedia;

hear's what eyes heard
by silising'wi 10:48am Sun Oct 3 '04 comment#16138

he might have been using a neurophone
 http://www.worldtrans.org/spir/neuro.html

"you hear through your skin. And what you hear is inside your head."

During the debate, the camera view infrequently and briefly showed Bush from a point towards the rear of his right shoulder. You could see, rather plainly, something that looked like a wire under his suit jacket. It ran up his spine, turned at a right angle toward his right shoulder blade, then turned again and went up to his shoulder.

If he does indeed have some sort of ear piece, I wonder if this is an antenna to amplify a very low-powered -- and, hence, hard to detect -- transmission to him.

This "wire" was visible only because he was hunched over his lecturn. Had he been standing up straight, it probably would not have been visible.

People on tv always have a little box on their back, often at the waist. This is for their microphone.

That doesn't mean he wasn't taking cues, or reciting verbatim, from a wireless earpiece though. That would explain a lot.

For those who didn't go to the link provided above by JR, here's an interesting post from there:

*Actually, Bush "blew it" last summer in France on live TV broadcasted on CNN. His buddy, Chirac somehow had a mic on Bush AND whoever it is that speaks to him. You could hear "rove"? say a sentence then Bush repeat it exactly the same way...word for word. He just continued on thru it, but when it was over, he acted very paranoid looking all around. Like he was wondering what was to come next. Cherac had a VERY HUGE smile, winked and nodded as they left. It was a beautiful sight! Later that week at the G8 summit...it was said they agreed to keep their differences private. Sorry you all missed it. I live for moments like that! Remember the Dem's National convention and the balloons didn't drop...the guy was going berserk, broadcasting to the whole floor....."where's my balloon's, I need balloons, Now! get me F!@#$%^ N balloons! he later said a switch that was suppose to be in off position got turned on somehow....a little trick the Republican's learned in France!*

It seems a lot of people know just what a phoney, incompetent we have in office. Everyone is just going along with the myth. You would think everything reported that he's said and done would be enough for him to have never reached office, but we are living in very strange times.

What is most disturbing is that all the people that know his incompetence, who have power, have leverage over this dweeb, thus negotiating power, even blackmail power over the US. What a fine mess.

There were fixed microphones on the lectern. You can clearly see them rising from the box that had the colored lights on them. That means the candidates would not have to wear any kind of device. Bush had been busted wearing an earpiece before in a speech in France on D-Day. There's no evidence that Lehrer was going to cut him off. Admittedly, this is not a smoking gun, but it's pretty damn suspicious.

As a technician in video, theater and film, I have been saying for years now that Bush wears an earpiece.

There are several clues to this, one is the hesitant speech pattern. That is exactly how untrained people (poor actors) speak when reciting the words coming in through the earpiece.

This also leads to verbal gaffs, like "Abu Garef" because the original speaker is a couple of words ahead of the reciter.

I would expect it to be an in-ear monitor receiving radio signals, you'll never see it unless you are looking right into his ear canal. No external belt-pack, no wires. If they are smart, they are using the usual Secret Service frequencies and security protocols (carrier suppression, etc.) Any wires and packs seen by cameras are most likely to be back-up lavalier microphones for sound. The mic heads can be easily hidden under lapels of jackets. The Key Part to this analysis of the debates the other day is the presence of any wires going UP HIS NECK AND BEHIND HIS EAR. That is the 'smoking gun', a sound feed.

I read the comments by "JR" above, and I don't think this particular gaffe, or whatever it was, would be the final straw for the Bush gang...

But if you keep plugging away at it, I'm sure you'll come up with something. It's a good start, but on the other hand, Bush personally does so many idiotic things, it's hard to keep a running tally. I wouldn't doubt that he's actually got an earpiece.

The debate agreement specifies that the "following rules apply to the September 30 and October 13 debates." In that set of rules, number ii states: "Each podium shall have installed a fixed hardwired microphone, and an identical microphone to be used as backup per industry standards." It isn't until the agreement is talking about the other debates that the use of lapel mics is permitted.

I am a Republican who didn't vote for this maniac and am not voting for him this time. I find it completely plausible that he has to use an ear piece. The man knows nothing about the real world. He thinks the US is the only country on this planet and is exactly why he couldn't comprehend the meaning of "global test". He rules with fear and religion. That's all he knows.

I think the 'ear piece' was up Bush's butt,because he talks a load of crap!

I anticipated Bush wearing a receiver. I think that if you find a copy of the 32 page agreement between the two parties, you'll probably find that such equipment is not specifically disallowed. The best you can do in this case is to make a passive recording of the conversation taking place between the President and the off-camera speaker and make it public as soon as possible, if there isn't a federal law against monitoring private communications which privately involve the commander in chief and the President of the United States. Under no circumstances should anyone even think of jamming the signal, or interfering with it, because the President and the Senator are both packing contingents of Secret Service and FBI agents with their own electronic gear. Also, if someone were to reveal a recording of that conversation, Rove & Co. will be quick to point out that it's easy to invent out of whole cloth an entirely phony off-camera voice, so it would be best if the off-camera voice were video taped as well.

I'm wondering if any one else caught this, President Bush met with French president Jacques Chirac around the second of June. Both men were in France at podiums in front of a large press core. Bush had an earpiece in, I thought nothing of this since Bush has not yet mastered English, him knowing any French is a long shot. Soon after turning on CNN, I noticed that some one else was carefully dictating Mr. Bush's exact words before he acually said them. At first I thought this simply must be a tech problem, like an echo of some sort, but that was not the case. I could distinctly discern that these were two seperate voices. The voice was diffrent, as was the annunciation. Okay, I thought, this is just weird, so I flipped it to MSNBC, same deal, Faux News(maja props to skunx), amazingly the same, but the first voice was much lower in volume on Fox.

It was sureal, Bush was being fed his lines through an earpiece, I could come to no other logical conclution. We all well know that Mr. Bush is not the best speaker, but if he can not even read his own speech, then he is not qualified to be a member in AA, let alone the president of the United States.

It did not end here however, Bush was going to take a few questions from the press, everyone always notes how well the president is with names, well the voice in the earpiece is much better with names, beacuse he told Mr. Bush who to call by name, and without fail the earpiece had all the answers to the reporters questions as well. I was just in awe at this point, some clever techy in France had exposed one of Bush's puppet masters. This would be all over the press in no time. I was exstatic.

The next day president Reagan died, all other news stopped.

written by Haywood Wednesday, 9 June 2004

First of all, make no mistake that even if there were a wire running up and into Bush's ear, it could be disguised with theatrical effects. Think about movie make-up techniques to create any kind of effect. A wire could easily be covered and hidden. Second, anybody out there remember the old SNL skit where Robin Williams did Reagan giving a speech being dictated thru an earpiece when suddenly he starts picking up sports on radio and all sorts of other nonsense. How sad is it that Bush Makes Reagan look coherent?

First I commented to my sister 'He looks like he is being prompted!' Then we both saw the outline of something under his jacket. I said "Do you think he is wearing a bulletproof vest?" There was something there and when he said "Just a minute. Let me finish" I was flabbergasted. Neither the moderator nor Kerry appeared to NOT let him finish! Weird!

The sad part about all this is that it will probably never catch enough wind to make it on the news. Its very suspicious that Bush would say "Let me finish" when nobody was interrupting him. I really think you guys have something here, keep trying to get the word out.

 http://www.canofun.com/blog/videos/BushAndTheOddSync.wmv

Dan Froomkin included a couple links on the earpiece controversy in the Washington Post two days ago(10/4). Unfortunately, he labeled the section as "Tinfoil Hat Watch" - indicating it was too outlandish to believe. But look at those pictures of his back!

We crucified Quayle for his speach gaffs, does anybody know why the media doesn't do the same with G.W.???????

If it's true that Bush is wearing an earpiece - which I doubt - and someone can detect the frequency, then why not feed him comments or at least interference from a competing transmitter? Just imagine what one could make him say....

Mike

Did anyone else notice that in the Larry King interview some weeks ago that Bush's ears were clearly a different color than his face? This is the interview he did with Laura around the time of the DNC. Did anyone else think that was odd? It made me wonder about a listening device.

It is quite obvious that he was wired ! There is a physical evidence of that because the only video shot that came from behind shows clearly that Bush had some sort of device on his back. right in the middle, under is vest ! Just look at the video and you will see it..

Read the article in Salon which includes a picture of the "device" clearly - it's on hois back, between teh shoulderblades, about the size of a pack of cigarettes.

It's either a transmitter, or his pull-ring...

 http://www.electoral-vote.com/images/bulge.jpg

Excellent observation. However, as we should be fair and balanced, did anyone notice Kerry just take some foreign piece of paper out of his jacket within the first 10 seconds after they entered? I did.

 http://salon.com/news/feature/2004/10/08/bulge/story.jpg

Here's a link to the story:  http://salon.com/news/feature/2004/10/08/bulge/index.html

It could've been the bullet-proof vest... case closed. We will never know, but I'd take a bullet-proof vest before a hidden mic any day if I was Bush.

I sent your interesting post to Ron Herald at Citizens for Legitimate Gov who had published an article on the same topic ( http://www.legitgov.org/essay_harold_bush_cheated_100704.html) . Ron responded to your article (that I passed on)and is quite interested in talking to you.

Great post redpeter ...you're a true patriot.

redfatty

I saw the bulge in his back when the camera shot from behind....I also picked up on him constantly looking down as if he had notes....and became curious about the long pauses...but I couldn't put it all together...it makes sense now .....he WAS wired!!!!

Bush is the one who unfolded paper. If you watch vid of the start of the debate you will see the rear camera catches him. Kerry took a pen out of his pocket. I think you can see video of the debate at C-Span's web site.

I also thought Bush was wired and now there is reportedly a picture of a bulge protruding from the back of his suit, which may have been the device. During the actual debate I remember thinking that it appeared he was waiting to hear what he should say. And, there was that weird and awkward moment when he asked for 30 seconds for a rebut and then he stood there mute. But then again, if he was wired, how come his responses were still inarticulate and shallow sound bites?

It is interesting as Hayward says, that people heard the radio noise at the news conference in France. I watched that conference, and was really embarrassed by his response to a French reporter who asked Pres. Bush " Pres. Kennedy said "everyone has two countries, their own and France." why has there been a divorce between our countries". The President's replied" "To paraphrase John F. Kennedy, there's America, and theres.......Texas" Then Pres. Reagan died and the coverage stopped cold. The question remains, would Bush's advisers really tell him to say something that dumb? Its a puzzle.

Maddymappo -

Because their entire campaign is one big shallow sound bite! :-D

I just thought it might be wise to point out that if they were going to use a earpiece/receiver setup, don't you think they would use something state of the art and undetectable? I don't think we use such cold war era boxy looking devices anymore.

.......entirely possible.I use this sort of equipment for my job. For my puposes I have a form-fitted wireless ear piece that, to anyone who sees it, looks like a small hearing aid. The antenna is looped around my neck beneath the clothing and is connected to a digital recorder that I can hold, tuck up my sleeve or slip into my pocket. All of my "lines" are previously recorded and stored in "folders" in the recorder. (news people generally are fed live cues through a similar wired device called an IFB)
Unless I tell someone (like a client) that I am using it, everyone thinks I am delivering speeches from the top of my head.
The real problem is becoming skilled enough to actually "perform" flawlessly with the equipment. Take it from a pro: if Bush is using similar equipment he has indeed practiced but he needs much more work.........

If Bush has trouble with a teleprompter, I don't mind him using an earphone for a speech written ahead of time. No difference whether it is written on paper, teleprompter, or in your ear. It is a big deal to use the earphone in a debate or even a news conference.

The bulge in Bush's back is becoming an issue with larger news organizations. The question to ask is what else could it be?

Perhaps:

a bullet proof vest - said by right wingers - But than why in a controlled debate and not at every outdoor venue from Pennsylvania, Ohio and Wisconsin?

A pace maker? - NO! - that's the other guy - the VP

a phoney pic? but it came from Fox News.

SO -- just what the hell else could it be???

But I saw the bulge in his back on live debate tv!!!I After decades of expirence in clothing I know Bush's expensive suit should't have a 3x 4 inch by 1 inch bulge in the back.. I assumed it was a mike allowed by the debate rules. So don't telll me what I didn't see... don't tell me what I didn't see and hear that this man couldn't put together sensible sentences. Either Bush has had a stroke or he was indeed packed with a bulging cheaters mike. I know what I heard and saw. ca

Here's an article on the online Times from tonight-- according to Bush's handlers, it was a wrinkle in the fabric. Yeah, I get rectangular wrinkles in my shirts all the time.

The Mystery of the Bulge in the Jacket
By ELISABETH BUMILLER
 http://www.nytimes.com/2004/10/09/politics/campaign/09bulge.html
Published: October 9, 2004

ASHINGTON, Oct. 8 - What was that bulge in the back of President Bush's suit jacket at the presidential debate in Miami last week?

According to rumors racing across the Internet this week, the rectangular bulge visible between Mr. Bush's shoulder blades was a radio receiver, transmitting answers from an offstage counselor into a hidden presidential earpiece. The prime suspect was Karl Rove, Mr. Bush's powerful political adviser.

When the online magazine Salon published an article about the rumors on Friday - the day of the second presidential debate, in St. Louis - the speculation reached such a pitch that White House and campaign officials found themselves inundated with calls.

First they said that pictures showing the bulge might have been doctored. But then, when the bulge turned out to be clearly visible in the television footage of the evening, they offered a different explanation.

"There was nothing under his suit jacket," said Nicolle Devenish, the Bush campaign's communications director. "It was most likely a rumpling of that portion of his suit jacket, or a wrinkle in the fabric."

Ms. Devenish could not explain why the "rumpling" was in a rectangular shape.

Campaign and White House officials said that the bulge was not from a bulletproof vest; they said Mr. Bush was not wearing one.

They said the bulge was definitely not a receiver.

Falwell or Robertson must have prayed hard to have the 'tumour' aka portable mike removed from Bush's back since last Fri. 3x4x1 inches I'd guess. I saw the 'bulge' of rectangular shape underneath the $ 6000.00 suit and now it is Gone Gone Gone. Lordy Lordy the Lord works in mysterous ways.... It's a miracle

All the weird pauses now make sense. Check out the evidence yourself at the New York Times debate replay. Play the segment called "Taking Sides", it comes up right away. He says "Let me finish with 30 seconds left". The story is now making the convential press. I hope they blow it wide open.

Did any of you see the Associated Press photo of w's back in last night's debate. It looked like an alien beast was attached to his back. I think they padded him to hide the device. go here:
 http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/041009/480/pd13510090242

Now to me that photo looks like the outline of a bulletproof vest, cut off lower in an arc in the middle and going up over the arms on each side.

Salon has a picture of Bush at the lecturn from a side/back view and it is obvious thjat he is wearing a device under his jacket Click here: Salon.com News | Bush's mystery bulge or http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2004/10/08/bulge/index_np.html

Weird.... I totally saw him fixing and shrugging his jacket on more than one occasion. What a fucker - no integrity, none.

In debate 1 Bush goes on with "let me finish" when he has the green light and no one was interrupting him. Who might he be talking to I wonder...Here's the video

On the Town Hall debate...
In the shots that would have Kerry speaking and Bush sitting in the background Bush would be taking notes and then suddenly look up really, really quickly. Like whip-lash quick, anyone notice this? Before I read all this earpiece stuff I thought it was just a typical crazy Bush thing but maybe it was someone saying "look up at Kerry!" thru an earpiece. Or maybe it was Bush just "getting in the zone" I don't know.

Since there isn't any real proof except a picture of a wrinkled jacket it sounds too much like a wacko conspiracy. The sad thing is, even if he was wearing an earpiece most Bush supporters would probably still vote for him.

Watch a video of the Bush-Chirac press conference during which an audio malfunction broadcast the prompter-voice as Bush repeated each line. Go to www.philbrittin.com

strange... i specifically remember that moment during the debate and i thought to myself... what is that on his back... i am visually sensitive to it because i worked as ted kennedy's phorographer when i was in DC and he wore a back brace... so i thought... mmmm... wonder if it's a back brace -- but it didn't look like the brace kennedy wore... kennedy could not hunch over the podium in the way bush did... if you look at ted now... he almost wobbles -- he wears a brace and it "straightens" his back -- that's its purpose... at the time i saw the thing on bush's back -- i thought it must be a new kind of brace -- but i understand that was the purpose of a "brace" -- to, in fact, brace...

this story has legs because it fits right into the orwellian comparasons to our time...

let's require that bush be subject to a pat down search... before the third and final debate... and then we'll see bush melt down...

What was he thinking

So far I don't see any proof. I just read the salon article and watched the Paris press conference numerous times.

-Could be a bullet proof vest, it was what I first thought of when I saw the picture of the bulge. There was a trailer for a tv documentary of New York after 9/11 on Bush's website that showed the hours leading up to him delivering the opening pitch for a baseball game and it shows him putting on his vest.

-When using satellites and audio setups the triangulation or whatever can cause the audio to come before the video even if its an echo. The words sounded fuzzy like they could be coming from an earpiece (I've never worn an earpiece though) but the words were the same length and abruptness as Bush's pronounciation a few seconds after. Also, I think it would be difficult to speak while overlapping the person who is feeding you the lines. Its like singing a song you don't know the words to, singing a previous line right while the next line is being sung.

-Bush did a bad job in the first debate, they would have rehearsed with the earpiece and worked out any unnaturalness that it produced.

-as far as writing stuff and then looking up abruptly during the townhall debate: I think writing notes when someone says something bad about you is a good device to "look busy" or make it look as if they said something false. I believe both candidates do that (as well as writing real notes for later statements).

-on saying "let me finish" I noticed it and thought it was funny. The moderator could have been making a motion to suggest he was going to kerry or going to a next question.

He may have used an earpiece in the past and may use one in the future, but for me, this isn't enough evidence for these specific examples.

Check out the tie in this video. You can see the wire for a brief moment. Here's a stillshot

Wrong file, try this video

The reporter's voice in this video ( http://portland.indymedia.org/en/2004/10/298647.shtml#144608) is also out of synch with his lips. that undermines the wired theory a little.

It's an OUTRAGE that the mainstream media has not reported on this yet. I saw the press-conference with Bush and Chirac when it was broadcast this past summer and I was stunned. I was sure it would become a huge news story. But what happened? Nothing!

Someone should start making 'George WIRED Bush' signs and T-Shirts...!!!

So what if he was having help? He may not be the most articulate speaker, but he's not a bumbling idiot. There are MANY intelligent, well-read people who aren't the greatest of public speakers. I think Bush has been a good president... I'm better off financially NOW than I have EVER been. And quite frankly, I only care about the working class... I'm sick of the bleeding-heart liberals who give out money through all these welfare programs to people who are too lazy to get off their asses and work. If Kerry is elected, BEWARE tax payers!!!! You think it's bad now... HA! Also, beware a rise in terroristic attacks... John "Yes, I voted for that before I voted against it" Kerry is a mamby-pamby, wishy-washy waffler...

They denied that he was wearing a bullet-proof vest for the first debate so that theory is out the window. I really belive it was a transmitter.

My feelings exactly I have a business where our taxes will go up if Kerry is elected, when Kerry said that "The president and I and Charlie will be the only ones that suffer" from higher taxes under Kerry's plan, he also forgot to say that anyone who works for small business will also suffer. A tax at the top will always roll downhill in some form. Also have you seen the footage of Kerry sliding a folded piece of paper from his pocket during the dabate? I guess its OK for a democrat to cheat but not a republican huh? The liberals always want to dish it out but then want to censure or sue someone when they are the ones taking it.
Heres the link to the video  http://www.boston.com/news/special/politics/debate_video/sept29/1.html

There is an actor who teaches how to use pre-recorded dialog in auditions. His name is Jeremy Whalen (sp?). This is true, because he tried to promote his technique in Orlando, Florida, back in the '80's. Now turn to Laura Bush's appearance on the Jay Leno show awhile back. I think it was before the Republican convention. Anyway, it was during the daytime (cos I can't stay up that late) and the news shows were replaying a rather clever retort she made to Jay. It got a lot of laughs from the audience, and of Jay fawned all over it. Her response was a play on the commercial, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, only she said something like the White House. If you watch her right before she makes the response, she acted as if she was listening rather than thinking of a retort.
What kind of man would cheat during a debate - oh, yeah, Bush would.

The bulge in the middle of "W's" suit wasn't used to feed Bush comments for the Debate. That's the control box where Cheney pulls the strings that makes "W" walk and talk

You idiots know if he was wired they are not going to put it on his back where everyone could see it. I could care less if he was wired but i seriously doubt it. If he was going to be wired it would have been placed inside his coat or sleeves. Use your brains for one second and think if he were to be wired they are going to have the best technology available instead of that 80's looking transmitter??!?!?! Use your brains puppets.

I work in the video biz and when he said let me finish, Jim was about to raise his hand and Bush said "let me finish" bush mistook Jims hand raising or motion as him asking another question. Its that simple, you people go get laid or something instead of over analyzing everything (except what comes from the left)

Just google 'bone conduction phone'.

People think about cb radios. Not like that.
Likely using spread spectrum radio [  http://sss-mag.com/ss.html ]
Likely using gov radio ranges.
Tune in to voice impossible.
Jam near impossible.
Not a wire in back - a parachute to catch rapid fall if ear voice stops.

Reviewing the videotape -priceless

I took the picture of Bush to photoshop, cropped the picture and changed lighting. You can see very clearly the outline of the object.

Hello, I taped the Fox TV news segment of Bush and Jacques Chirac meeting June 5, 2004 in Paris.

The tape clearly shows that Bush uses an ear promptor because you can hear the promptors voice being broadcast all over the room. The technical glitch made it such that you hear what Bush will say .. before he says it.

I have the video posted on www.philbrittin.com

I have been searching this story all day and I think this is a big thing if it can come to the media's attention. I am going to push this, by emailing everyone I can, just like someone earlier said.
I too noticed how often he fidgited with his tie and jacket.
Also what about scowling and blinking, could have been interference or signals, to say "shut up" or whatever.

dopes it was bullet proof vest

My own take on the subject.

Bush is not beyond smoke and mirrors but it's obvious that he was talking to the debate moderator when he said, "let me finish." The clip doesn't show the entire scene, but he's looking directly at him when he said it.
However, is that picture posted on CNN's website today real? It shows a wire box on his back. I don't know what to believe anymore.

Typos fixed and some minor modifications in the text.

Just listened and looked at the Bush Chirac tape and wow is all I can say. Just could never figure out how someone could constantly talk in short choppy blocks of sentences and now I do. He fiddled with his ear constantly.
No wonder he doesn't like press conferences, he would have to line up his puppet master before hand. Is it Rove or Cheney or someone else.
The subject of bulge on back was brought up at the end of George Stephanopoulos show this morning on ABC, they showed the photo.
I would like to know why there would be a wire behind his tie, could one of you experts eplain that.
It also seems to me that the device is made to easily remove, otherwise people he comes in contact with would notice with any kind of pat on the back.

There's a receiver on the device to pickup the signal from whoever is feeding him the lines. It has to have a sort of antenae. Then also the piece in his ear has to receive the signal that is transmitted from the box on his back. So there's actually a delay. Maybe it's a hearing aid and he's not only retarded but deaf as well, and is the first president in U.S. history to require a hearing aid. But he's supposed to appear strong and resolute, so whatever it is they need to do a coverup.

Bush's own campaign says he was not wearing bullet-proof vest.

I keep hearing George Bush was wired.

I thought he had just gained weight or was wearing a bullet proof vest or was wearing an apparatus that allowed him to speak without holding a mic.

Is this another conspiracy theory?

I hope the President Of The United States, while representing the country that I love could hold his own in a debate without being wired.


Oh, and why is so much attention being focused on the mens characters instead of the issues ?

A real debate should be an outline of issues and facts, not personalities.
With all that is going on in the world I don't see how we have time for the dumb stuff.


Either way, I will continue to Pray for the World because LORD knows we need Prayer.

does this give further proof that bush is wired, when he sat for five minutes in the classroom of children, awaiting instruction being received in his ear?

I listened to the Bush-Chirac audio you're talking about. The voice that you hear before Bush is CLEARLY Bush himself. One of the posters below pointed out how you can get audio/vi
