While I thank you for looking this up for us, the bulge is more consistant with the body armor pResidents wear, and not where he would carry and wireles mic pack. If anyone saw War Criminal Bush tonight (friday) you know he could not have had help. He left bleeding from his nose, mouth, eyes and ass.
Title: Bush is a little puppet: prompted by earpiece long before the non-debate with Kerry
Author: the man behind the curtain
Date: 2004.10.05 08:27
Description: A few commentators - like Salt Lake City Weekly columnist D.P. Sorensen - write about the subject as if it's common knowledge (20 Mar 2003 Edition): [snip] When the president appears on public occasions, observers have noticed that he now wears a tiny earpiece. There is speculation that God is telling Mr. Bush what to say, using a celestial wavelength almost impossible for evil-doers to intercept. Some observers think the divine prompting via the earpiece explains the president's propensity for verbal gaffes, such as his comment in February of 2000 that "there is madmen in the world, and there are terror."
audio, pictures, and previous video examples in France of Bush simply being a trained doll:
Bush wore a wire (and still fucked up, he should fire whoever was on the other end of that radio) and Kerry had a cheat sheet (drew it form his jacket and unfolded it as he approached the podium).
Both are cheating scum, but at least Kerry was able to cheat well.
At first I thought he might be wired- all the rapid blinking and staring off into space. but all the spitting and stuttering and avoiding topics led me to think otherwise- the fucker may have actually been on his own this time.
Hey, did you all notice the big freeze up by Bush tonight? Just like in the first debate, there was moment when he just froze, maybe 5 or more seconds. A senior moment, maybe? Or the voice over the implant repeating a point verrrry slowly? The woman visible on camera behind Bush was dying with laughter, holding her hand over her mouth to stop from cracking up.
Also, did anyone else notice crackling and interference only when Kerry was talking? Nothing that made him unhearable, just a little scratchy noise and a few lines at the top of the screen. I was watching on C-Span, and it was an ongoing issue through out the debate, especially when they were in full split-screen mode while Kerry was talking.
thank god for that woman behind Bush

she was the only one who seemed to react like a real human
The rest of the audience were stony faced.
Yeah, I noticed that at one point Bush ended his sentence too soon, then realizing that it didn't make sense, he followed with the rest of the words. Exactly as if he were being prompted.
There is no doubt in my mind that he cannot speak in public without a script, teleprompter or voice in his ear. What a joke.
But, how do we get rid of this guy? I'm really worried about the election.
The people in charge will steal the votes, exactly like last time.
If Bush were a true beleiver he would not need an ear piece jesus wold reach him on the direct line. I can't wait for the thrid 'debaye' bush is funnier the John Stewart.
The US government has been funding the developement of this type of device for years. The device, the MET™ Ossicular Stimulator, is manufactured by Otologics (www.otologics.com) and does not require any external mechanics at the ear...making it undetectable from side views. They must have needed a transponder to pick up the signal and transfer it to the device...hence the bulge.
It was really a mechanical hand, wired to sensors on dickless cheney's hand, like a remote Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy...Made george the lesser's mouth flap.
I have contacts within the Republican Party. I was told by Scott Zale, a Repulican operative in eastern Tennessee that he knows it to be a fact that Bush was wired. He said that within the Bush campaign, there are certain mid-level staffers that have leaked this tidbit because it was just "too fantastic to ignore."
Zale told me that the transmission device is popular with other high profile officials in the Bush administration. It helps everybody stay "on message." Zale said that Bush was only fed ready responses to just certain types of questions. He didn't know which questions those were but admitted that Bush just sounded(to him)to be more articulate at certain "oportune" times.
Zale confided that he was told that the president wore a loose fitting jacket during both debates. The device protuded because Bush has a tendency to hunch over and shrug his shoulders a lot.
This is a true story as it was told to me. If you want to know more, please contact Scott Zale at the Bush-Cheney campaign headquarters in Knoxville, Tn. Thanks.
This is just propaganda folks. There is no way Bush could get away with cheating. All his intelligent remarks was sadly...just him being him.
Good Job for the Democrats finally using some dirty politics to get back at everything Fox News and the republicans did while attacking Kerry. (Like his War background)
There is no way Kerry can win the presidency while running a fair campaign against the Republicans. So help spread this news and hopefully it can lean any swing voters mind to vote Kerry.
To all those who are so sure that Bush could not have possibly been cheating, how do you suppose he would have gotten caught? Do you honestly believe there is someone who pats them both down?
Please shut down this blog. I was informed this morning by the national editor of the Knoxville Times that my name was invoked by a man named "Brad Menfil" in regards to this out-of-control story.
It is true that I work for Bush-Cheney here in Tennessee. My office is in Gatlinburg, not Knoxville. Although I do happen to work at least two days a week in Knoxville. I am a staff accountant and one of my duties is to process local contributions. As part of that duty, I have to wire funds to the national committee in Washington D.C. So I do have national Republican contacts and have heard many things.
"Brad" is not his real name but I suspect he is or may be my counterpart in the Washington collections office. He has probably been to Tennessee about 15 times in the last 7 weeks, though he does not live here. I won't give his real name (even though he felt it was necessary to give mine).
The Knoxville Times called me at 6am this morning asking me to confirm or deny the "Bush is Wired" story they read here at Portland IMC. My immediate response was, "What is the Portland IMC?" and I then I issued a "no comment". Other than that, I did say that "Brad Menfil" is not a real person.
Please stop speculating about this. Our president is a great man and can only get hurt by this. I suspect this isn't going to go away and I regret anything that I said to "Brad" that may contribute to downfall of a great man and president.
Please drop this for the good of our country. We have bigger problems and should not be distracted by matters that don't ultimately determine the measure of an honest man. I want to say that the right answers are what matter most, not whether or not those answers were "fed" my someone else. President Bush is a good messenger regardless.
Thanks, Scott Zale, Senior Staff Accountant, Bush-Cheney Tennessee.
Incredible. Assuming that's actually Scott Zale posting, he doesn't even deny the charges -- he merely wants the blog shut down and everyone to stop talking about it "for the good of the country." Well, dumbass, some of us think having a dishonest cheat as President is not for the good of the country.
Scott Zale is right, "Brad Menfil" is not my real name and I didn't hear this story from him, he heard it from me. Sorry Scott.
I do work for Bush-Cheney and I can olny say that the substance of my first posting is correct, even though I used a fake name. I hope everybody understands why I would do this.
I got a call from Scott this morning (actually, about 10 minutes ago). He said that he had been contacted by ABC and Fox after his own posting.
I don't share his belief that ignoring this would be good for the country. I'm sorry I involved Scott and didn't have enough courage to use my real name. I hope the truth gets out and Scott is absolved.
First let me say I'm a Democrat and a Kerrey supporter. Then let me say that you people are troppi pazzi. What you're saying, if I can summarize, is that Bush was being fed answers, and the answers he was fed were the incoherent blather that we heard in the first debate. I repeat..Huh?
My dear American friends, why are you surprised that such important information has yet to be picked up by US media? - they don't even allow US coffins coming back from Iraq to be shown, and most viewers of Fox News still think we found WMD there!
Why not try BBC online for some REAL journalism - who picked up on the Bush-wired story this morning...I get criticised daily for being a "wimpy, sissy European", all I can say is that at least we still have journalist with balls...
First of all, you should really learn to spell the name of the candidate you supposedly support.
Second, cheating does not imply winning, or even doing well. And the wire theory perfectly explains all the weird pauses before Bush started answering.
As to the BBC item, I'm left with one question: how many people are aware that Bush has his suits custom-made by a guy named "Georges de Paris?"
As to why the US media hasn't picked up on it -- first of all, they have to some extent. But given the recent CBS National Guard memo debacle, they are going to be very cautious. The U.S. media is also very sensitive to charges that they are slanted to the left, which at times can make them functionally conservative.
One thing I want to do is watch the debates again. Anyone know a site that has them archived in their entirety?
Watch the debates in their entirety at www.c-span.org. We noticed and commented frequently on the odd pauses and the lumpy jacket when we first watched the debates on tv; this theory certainly would explain a lot. not surprising but pretty sad to contemplate....
Preventing the voters from voting and what you can do to fight this
You guys crack me up with the comments about Bush and his (possible) electronic "helper" in the debate! It sounds plausible, and god knows, the Bushies would not hesitate to do it if they thought it would help. If Bush did have a wire, and you could prove that, it would obviously be a tremendous story.
But since you can't prove it, why not do something to help that can actually be constructive? The Bushies have been known to use their methodology to keep people from voting, by telling uninformed voters at the polls that they could not vote unless they had their drivers license with them, or that they had to bring their sample ballot with them, etc. This issue is called "VOTER INTIMIDATION AND FRAUD."
You can help prevent this by contacting your local party headquarters and signing up to be a poll watcher on November 2nd. You would have to spend some time during November 2nd, at your voting place, watching for voter intimidation and reporting it to the polling manager that is on duty. Voter intimidation and fraud is a felony crime, but from all the accounts, a lot of it occurred four years ago in Florida, and thousands of voters who were eligibl to vote were turned away. IN some cases, the Republicans simply issued "challenges" at the various voting places, which jammed up the lines and kept people from voting until after the 7:00 pm deadline.
How about volunteering to help prevent this on Election Day?
Call your local party HQ and sign up!!
What is interesting is I thought they meaning the White House would have a logical explanation about the obvious rectangle shape in the center of his back. There response is what shocked me. They basically said there was nothing there or just a wrinkle in the fabric. Wow. That is very telling. And by the way watch his eyes, they dart back and forth as if someone is telling him something. I have a friend who worked with schizophrenics and she said those are the same faces they make when they think they are hearing voices. Of course he is actually hearing voices.
What about the earbud in his right ear on Friday night?
I hadn't heard or seen anything about Bush being wired in the first debate. But, in Friday's debate there was one shot that had a pretty good view of his right profile. I saw what looked like a small black earbud in his right ear. I was incredulous and couldn't believe what I had seen. But when you reflect on some of his responses, especially the reference to the infamous Dred Scott decision, it makes sense that someone said that into his ear to make some kind of point. Does anyone really believe that George Bush would even have ever heard of that case? He never went to law school, didn't major in history and has no experience with the civil rights movement. But, he knows about the Dred Scott case? More importantly, the President's spokesperson isn't flat out denying it. He just says it's ridiculous. This is a common way of avoiding a flat out denial so as not to be put in the positon of being a liar.
Bush was wired during Debate #1 -- you'd have to be blind (or looking through Bush's "rose colored glasses" to think otherwise. At one point in the debate, with plenty of response time (the green light hadn't even come on) and with no one interrupting him, he said in mid-sentence "let me finish!" and then finished his sentence. That is indicative of him hearing someone talking and him wanting to finish before getting more information -- he just forgot the talking was coming from his transceiver. Next, he was not wearing a bullet proof vest, as the White House and campaign officials have already said he wasn't. Finally, shortly after his "let me finish" blunder, he was then scowling more than ever, twisting, shifting, and in some points looking as if he would cry from frustration, and it was then that he really started to do poorly in responses and rebuttals. I think his signal either got jammed or his transceiver quit working and he was left in front of all America without a prompter. His transceiver was working nicely for Debate #2, where he had it concealed under one side of his jacket and did fidget with it several times. He was hyperactive and overexuberant, and had the same shifty eyed looks going on as many have perceived people listening through devices do). Ah well, no matter. I figure those already dumb enough to vote for him are going to do so; and the rest of us who were born with common sense, will outnumber them and get him and his puppetmasters out of office before more harm is done to our country. Peace out.
I saw the photo on the news tonight. It sure looked like a wire on his back. When he was speaking the other day, I thought to myself that he must be suffering from osteoporosis (as myself and some older friends) in his back. Funny I should have thought that but he had a 'humpy' back that I had never really noticed before. Well, why not. The man is obviously an idiot.
This is an amazing story, if true. I mean, I've never liked Bush and expect the worst in dirty tricks from him and his handlers, but having a hidden voice guiding him thru what is presented to the public as a live debate, a give-and-take between the candidates -- that is a new low. Thanks to all of you who are trying to get to the bottom of this.
Is anyone surprised that Bush likely cheated during the first debate? After he cheated to become president in the first place, what's a measly debate? Does anyone know anything about the connection of the Bush family to Hinkley, President Reagan's assassin? I heard that the Bush family was friends with the Hinkleys in Texas, and that they had strong business-related reasons to attack Reagan.
I find this significant in that it's one more bit of information that tells us who we have leading us: a guy who cannot trust his own judgment in a debate situation, and one whose advisers obviously can't trust their man to stand on his own. Do we want this kind of "leadership" determining the fate of the world over the next four years? If he can't trust his own judgment, his own intellect, how can we? Having a leader who lacks good judgment and self-reliance is a dreadful mistake, and when he uses technology to pretend he is smart and capable, to create a false image, then he is willfully deceiving the American people (yet again). That is fraudulent and dishonest.* We deserve better than that! I think Kerry is right on target with his "weapons of mass deception" comment.
(* Politics as usual, I suppose, but still, we can do way better than Bush.)
Be sure you read this letter from a guy who has served as an interpreter for Bush. It explains quite a lot. There's also another story here about Bush having a temper tantrum when he thought he had no outside audience. The interpreter's letter is at this URL:
http://community.democrats.com/forums/discussions.cfm?forumid=170&topicid=139727
People saw the Bulge..... it's making it's way into the news.... Bush will be caught cheating in the first debate..... Kerry will win the election.... Bush can go back to playing "Chainsaw" on his ranch. The End.
The general tenor of the Republican Party and a large segment of its supporters is exemplified by the comments of "Citizen Cane". More and more of them are vile people who are steadily eroding the quality of life in our great country. They are small in spirit and in previous times we could afford to treat them with contempt, and generally ignore them, but now they are thick on the ground. There have always been Tom Delays, Newt Gingriches and Dick Cheneys - and louts like the Cane creature who support them - but now they seem to be in the majority. And all this makes the idea of Bush carrying concealed communications equipment entirely credible. In the last debate he was a damn sight more articulate than ever seen in previous performances, and as someone has pointed out his demeanor was often suggestive of someone listening hard. Quite often his eye blink rate was extremely fast too. Remember, this was the man who appeared before the 9/11 Commission with Cheney in tow. Ask yourself why.
Some time ago I read one of the most accurate assessments of the Republican Party's ethos. It said:
The principal item on the agenda of the Republican Party is to ensure the smooth transfer of wealth from those who have little to those who have much.
Alright guys let's be sensible. I'm hardcore Democratic. There's no way I think Bush wore a wire. Why? If you listened at all to the man, he sounded like the biggest, most idiotic jackass the world's ever seen (he is). His advisors aren't quite THAT dumb. No one is. Bush had to be operating on his own, or he might have sounded smart. Then the general public would KNOW it wasn't Mr. Bush who came up with those responses.
at the moment...in the first debate...when bush... for no apparent reason! says "let me finish!!" to some phantom entity ... I knew bush had been receving information from a remote location....more clues...the way bush would break the continuity of his sentence structure....was more than telling....Being the original author of this post...I had no idea nor did I see the bulge on his back,under his coat...(althought it is reported he.. bush..stuffs socks in his BVD's)...another interest fact...the way Karl Rove jumped up and ran to the wings ...check your replays.. he's the balding guy in the light or tan suit running from the front seats to the left...this can be seen clearly!...CNN is reporting that the bush camp is saying "it's not so"....in my viewing of the second debate it was so apparent...I made the post during the middle of it....
Not that I wouldn't put it above the Bushies to try such a stunt. However, whatever he was listening to didn't help at all; reasons for my doubt. Unless, of course, Bush is so fucking stupid that even with a wire he comes across as a blithering idiot. If that's the case, more fucking reason to vote for Kerry. I don't understand the poster above claiming that Kerry cheated. he doesn't need to, there's some intelligence in the man. As far as Bush, more evidence that he has lived off his daddy's influence. This man got into Yale? My daughter is getting D's and F's in the Portland school district and can speak with better oration than Bush.
I wore a wire and I don't deserve your vote. Please vote me out of office so I can go back to Texas and dig for night crawlers. Starting January 21, 2004, I only want to endanger the lives of night crawlers and not people.
Please vote against every Republican a-hole (that would all of us)and help put this country back on the right track.
Bye for now. I need to go and have the wire in my neck replaced. Seems they used a cheap copper type and it's beginning to get infected.
I guess I wasn't looking for a wire. I was looking at Bush expecting that as the pressure ratchets up he might appear at one of the debates drunk. Keep your eyes open for the signs of the Prez off the wagon. Remember the "I swallowed peanuts the wrong way and passed out" in the fall of 2002. "I was watching a football game." Yeah, sure. He's self will run riot and he's just a day closer to his next drunk.
It should be possible to test the 'wired' theory and, if true, block and/or expose the use of the wire during debate #3.
While Dubya has unlimited access to the latest spy toys and electronic devices,from NSA, CIA, DIA, etc, there are also countermeasure devices employed by security firms to sweep a room for suspected transmitters, and other devices to scan frequencies in order to monitor, amplify, jam, and/or rebroadcast incoming transmissions.
If a news organization or other 'person with access' to the next debate can lug along that kind of hardware, it should be easy enough to detect, expose and/or jam the wire if it is being used -- for the amusement, shock and awe of a worldwide TV audience.
Imagine the fun if someone ran a few thousand watts of Boze-size amplification into Dubya's ear, rolling his eyes like cherries on a slot machine. Indeed, if he is wired, the mere possiblity of a 'jammer' in the audience could pucker the fucker and have him sweating bullets. That's why the media should be pushed to run this story to ground. If they are hot to scoop each other with the prime-time news expose of the century -- no, of the entire history of the country -- this would certainly be worth the price of the equipment at Radio Shack.
However, I tend to agree with those on this thread who say Bush did too poorly to be wired to a coach. Yet the possibility defintely exists that it's true and everyone in the 4th Reich who could be coaching this guy are as stupid as he is (but smarter than Bush voters). Now THAT theory has possibilities, most of them real scary.
Bush has made such a HUGE mess during his 4 year watch....1)the economy in a huge deficit 2) "liberating" countries around the world when he cannot take care of his own poverty-stricken citizens 3) the US is hated and booed around the world (they did not show the booing during Olympics on the US news, now did they?) 4) killing our own soldiers by sending them to some useless war so as to match body for body what Al Qaeda did to us 5) killed off our environment by rescinding every existing policy 6) taken away our privacy rights in the name of Patriotism and 7) gives a crap about science or technology (the uneducated ---- that he is) ...the list goes on and on. SO I ask you: why the hell should a Dem Prez come in and clean up after this stupid, dyslexic, idiot's huge mess?
People keep saying Bush's performance was too poor in the debates for him to have been coached/wired. Come on! His performance was inconsistent to a point of being wildly variable. At times he acted like he was drunk or retarded (or both!), and then, after a pause, sometimes with frenzied eye movement, he'd snap back with a potent answer. Sometimes he was really "on" and at other times he was unbelievably "off." Oftentimes he appeared just plain confused. Don't you think this kind of erratic behavior makes sense if he's trying to concentrate on Kerry, the moderator, his own muddled thoughts, and a coach's voice in his ear?
Let's lobby George Soros to hire a detective to sweep Bush for a hidden communication device during the next debate; I'm sure he'd love to score such a coup! (Soros is a billionaire who's spending lots of money to defeat Bush.)
well it might not be the american 'main stream media' but the BBC picked-up the story.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/3730364.stm they pretty musc dismiss it as a wrikle in his suit, which i think i believe. yes, i know bush is a dumb ass, who needs all the help he can get, but it's hard to believe that he doesn't have axcess to a smaller wire. i'm sure carl rove and karen hughes have very small devices at their disposal. i'd like to see another pic of the 'wire.' it was a 90 min. debate and if he had a buldge you'd think there would be more than on pic. what i'm saying is that it's very unlikely that the picture shows a wire, but that is not to say that george jr. was not wired
There is no, I repeat NO possibility that Bush was wired during the debate.
I happen to know, for a fact, that the ability to detect audible sounds from such a device requires a neocortex. Since I personally removed Bush's neocortex during an operation in late 2001 due to extensive cocaine- and alcohol-binge induced necrosis during the 1980's, I am rather certain that he could not have detected any such signals or sounds.
Go to this site http://video.msn.com/video/p.htm you can view the debate its broken down in clips, play the one about the draft about 1:50 into the clip he's talking about real time messages and you can see the wire its under his tie.
For those of you with Cox Cable, the debate can be watched again for free, using the "entertainment on demand" feature under "movies/election 2004" (channel 700? here); cost $0.00...at least that's what they've got here in the OKC metro. Notice in the opening ceremony, when both candidates shake hands, Kerry places his left hand right on the spot where the "device" has been spotted, then walks to his podium with this huge grin on his face! I damn near soiled myself! Talk about an "October Surprise"...
First let me preface this by saying, its obvious Bush was wearing 'something' under his jacket, and to my eyes, looks like a solid device of somekind... But that's not why I am adding a comment. While reading this page (which shows up under google as the first link for 'video bush wired') I noticed a obvious postings that can only be have one purpose. To diminish discussion about possible misconduct by the President, with seemingly 'crackpot' ideas.
That's pathetic... To all of you out there about to post a 'crackpot idea' to dilute this point of view, you should take a hard look at the values you hold up as noble.
Why are you all so surprised about Bush being wired?
He cheated all his life and this election is no different!
Good luck to sane Americans and get this embicile out of the White House
This question of Bush being remotely prompted during the presidential debates is very serious business which should be carefully investigated. If Bush is actually being fed his lines like some kind of robot we are in real trouble as a nation. We do not need a robot running our nation in these dangerous times. There are some disturbing signs that "Robotgate" may be a reality and not a wild conspiracy theory. What, for example, is the odd earpiece clearly evident in numerous photographs and videos of George Bush? Look at the following website where Bush's mysterious earpiece is seen clearly in photos from just after the first debate:
As many experts have pointed out, there is no need of a wire running up to the earpiece. A wireless transmission from the receiver/transmitter hidden under his clothing would not be a problem. Clearly it is pointless looking for another bulge in Bush's jacket at this point since his handlers would have moved the equipment to another location on his body by now. It's a shame, but I doubt it would be allowed to frisk the president. I do not see a problem, however, in insisting that the candidates remove any earpieces they may be wearing. The only excuse I can see for not doing so is if the earpiece in question is a miniature hearing aid. If that is what the earpiece actually is the president should simply document the fact and clear this up immediately. Otherwise there is no conceivable excuse for Bush to be wearing an earpiece during the third debate. I think the earpiece may be the key here and this should be vigorously pursued. Perhaps the moderator of the third debate could ask George Bush about this directly and request that he remove the earpiece if he is still wearing it at that time.
Certainly there are some extraordinarily bizarre expressions, pauses and statements made by the president during the debates; as when he exclaimed, "I, I, uh- let me finish..." when the green light was still lit and it was clear he had time left to speak. It was as if he was inadvertently talking to a voice which was continuing to talk in his ear while he was still talking. It is not wild conspiratorial thinking to wonder what prompts bizarre behavior such as this. These are sound and reasonable questions which require an answer.
Why did the Bush administration initially insist on the condition that no cameras be placed behind the candidates? Were they afraid the cameras might reveal dandruff on their candidate? That is a seemingly bizarre condition; but there must have been a reason for it. No? Maybe, just maybe, it was because of the original positioning of Bush's receiver/transmitter.
What about the CNN D-day broadcast where viewers heard a voice (not Bush's) speaking Bush's lines before he said them and then heard Bush repeating the lines, often with slight variations?
There are far too many unanswered questions here. This is not the stuff of wild-eyed conspiracy theorists. There are legitimate reasons to launch a serious investigation into this matter and it should be done immediately. As I have said, these are dangerous times and the last thing we need is a robot president.
Bush's people blamed the suit bulge on 'bad tailoring'. Well, let's see the suit. Show it to us, with it's boxy bulge and all, and maybe we'll believe (if it wasn't altererd or a different one). In any case, I'd sure like to see someone examine the suit he wore. If it's not the suit, it's something hidden.
A wired President speaking the way somebody wants him to speak is dangerous to American people and also to the connected countries. American tax payer's money is being spent and probably somebody else is running the country. Dangerous situation ! American public must investigate this thoroughly.
this is nothing new. the reason the media does not report these stories is due to the fact that they already new this infomation. do you seriously believe the media, the 4th state that is in the habit for creating news, would like to see the current keepers of power to leave in shame. they are good for business. in fact, several months ago, the President had a press conference with french president chirac and they experienced heavy feedback on national t.v. You could actually hear the voice feeding him the answers, and bush repeating them word for word. this was also followed by chirac bowing to the embarrassing situation and playing along with the coverup. but all in all, it dosen't really matter. the president is a figurehead that represents a goverment of the people. they are just trying to convey there ideas to a public that has no idea what it wants. one day everybody wants war. the media, the private sector, the people... to fill there empty lives, and the next day everybody is complaining. today policy is dictated by quick polls from uneducated voters that have no idea of the complex situations that have been gestating for several decades. the american public is the inconsistant element in this unstable compound. bush may be fed the answers, but can you blame him. satisfing the hungry media (who are starving because the american public is starving for sensation)is the problem. maybe if the public was well and made a bit of sense, goverment would have no choice but to make sense. the polls would demand it. everybody is so concerned with this topic, it is a waste of mental energy to worry about this. move on.
In this single frame from the second debate you can clearly see what appears to be a green tentacle emerging from the hump on Bush's back. If you enlarge this image you can even see some red specks (blood?) coming out of the damn thing. God knows what this cursed thing is. This may well explain the bizarre expressions and eye movements of our president. This horrible thing may well have control of his central nervous system. Is it any wonder that our hapless president sometimes makes sense and at other times sounds like a blithering idiot? This creature (be it alien or some diabolic spawn) may well have ordered the attack on Iraq and the strange and perverse forced nudity requirement of prisoners. God help us all if these hellish things are reproducing.
I had this image checked by an expert who informed me that it is consistent with a tentacle with an array of suction cups on the bottom and what is possibly spores of some kind emerging from the tip. He also noted what appears to be some specks of blood and a small tear or laceration of the president's jacket at the point of the emergence from the hump.
So, if any of the above is credible,,, it implies the "TV NEWS PEOPLE" are reading our humble yet persistent little indy media rag...if that's the case i just want to take this opportunity to say...
FUCK YOU FOX NEWS - YOU AND YOUR VIEWERS ARE IDIOTS (except the simpsons)...AND FUCK MR MURDOCH TOO! (In the figurative sense only, of course)
Actually there is a more detailed discussion at...
This "story"/"rumor" started with Kos discussions after first debate (first pic was actually posted there by a Brit reader); Salon.com ran a story last Friday. You guys here ought to read it, because there is more evidence supporting this than still frames from BOTH debates (at the RNC, TV crews were asked what frequencies they were going to feed; there is video of previous live events with Bush in which secondary voices were 'accidentally' caught on the audio feeds). The NY Times, Washington Post, and AP News Wire (which mentioned the www.IsBushWired.com site), picked up on this on Friday/Saturday, that's when BBC got involved.
So now we hear on this site, the additional news that other Legacy Media are investigating.
This is GOOD - we Americans need more information on this. The press need to take this seriously, but consider all the possibilities.
Which leads me back to Kos - go to the Kos Diary listed above for a pretty detailed discussion on BULGEGATE/WIREGATE, designed to minimize the "tin-foil hattery" angle.
That diary is about the back bulges viewed on camera during BOTH debates. There is also a separate diary that discusses a black wire under Bush's tie during the second debate, with some good frame grabs and video links, posted here:

(but some of us in that Diary suspect this wire is just TV-standard back-up mike wiring in case the cordless handheld mike was down)
Corporate Media Spies & Lies/ Cascadian Community Rocks
PDX IMC is quoted in corporate media quite frequently. Mostly locally but, nationally too. Sometimes entire articles are copied, switched around a little bit, and then printed. Our humble IMC is slowly but surely becoming more widely viewed. Last month there were over 2 million hits to the site. We recieve emails from and posts from people all over the world.
In my opinion, we owe it to all of you who devote time to reporting your own original stories making the content here one of a kind. Original and up to the minute updated content and the forum is what keeps everyone coming back and bringing their friends. Thanks to all who contribute to Portland(Southern Cascadia) indymedia! Everybody rocks!
When I first read the headline I assumed it was discussing the fact that Mr Bush was 'wired' on drink or drugs or both.
I see that it doesn't. But really how do you explain the stupendous stupidity of the man, the malapropisms and the lack of knowledge about really basic issues if he isn't either permanantly pissed (drunk) or drug-addled or is suffering the longer-term effects of such abuse?
Note the non-denial denial in Scott Zale's post up-thread here.
No where does he contradict the actual substance of what is asserted by "Brad".... just screaming about how he was drug into the issue and "Brad " is a false name.. blah blah blah.
Personally I think this issue is somewhat of a distraction, given the abject bullshit spewed by the Chimp-in-Chief.
Like the Fright-Wing™ myth that Kerry voted for the war. Kerry's vote was for the use of military force IF inspections were blocked. They were blocked, but by Bush not by Iraq. Inspectors were on the ground, however they had to be pulled out because of Bush's petulant rush to war.
Or the myth that Kerry voted against THE appropriations funding it. Bush forced passage of a SUPPLEMENTAL funding bill which increased the deficit, charging $87 billion plus interest to our children and grandchildren. Kerry supported the competing version which actually paid for it which Bush threatened to veto. Hence the clumsy sound-bite "Kerry voted for it, before voting against it."
Kerry's position on both Iraq and funding has been consistent, alas so has the Bush noise-machine trying to paint it otherwise with fact-less rhetoric.
BUt the Fright-Wing™ plan and modus operandi has been (for decades now) to swarm the system with bullshit and expect the media to try and maintain "balance" by picking gnat-shit out of pepper and comparing and equating Kerry saying the Iraq war has cost us $200 billion ($191 so far if you include all the supplemental and the interest) or not.. when the big lies go unchallenged by the media such as the actual conclusions of the Dulfer report, etc. etc.
It's all "shiny moneys"... used to distract and increases the noise-to-signal to get the public to tune out. WHich is how the Firght-Wing™ gain and consolidate their hold on power. They want a divided America, that is the only way they have gained power, is by division, lies, smears, and getting you to turn against your own interests with simplistic xenophobic fear-mongering.
Yesterday @ 12noon Cnn had this story 3rd on the Headline news..by 3:00pm it was 2nd to the top story and by midnight it had fallen to the last 5 min. of the half hr. broadcast. BUT the photo they showed during the day was of the FRONT!! of Bush AND the photo they showed at midnight was one of Bush from the back at an angle where his jacket is actually "rumpled" haphazard wrinkles like you would expect with loose falling fabric. Wimp ass report. They only put the photo where he is leaning on the podium on the website.. not on the air... and it is a DARK photo so the outline of the box is not as distinct. WHAT ARE THEY AFRAID OF?? We just want to know what the hell the clear as day, rectangular shape under his coat ,easily seen by our family and millions..on the first debate was! Who is going to ask Bush? If I hadn't seen it so clearly myself during the debate.. I would be less interested. But CNN's "internet rumor" story is an insult to those who just want to know. It is not just an internet rumor...all the major newspapers are asking as well.
There were over 2 million pages served last month, not hits. "Hits" generally refers to total web requests and that number would be over 6 million last month.
I feel obliged to mention that while I got a chuckle out of posting the "Satire or Invasion?" piece (above), I really do take this "Puppetgate" thing very seriously. President Bush's apparent "wiring" for transmission appears to be causing a scandal which may cripple his ability to conduct business internationally. That's not good. I guess we'll have to elect a new president.
I'm definitely curious about the Bush bulge, but these postings by Zale and Menfil smell like a hoax to me. There's no way to know who posted these messages. If a Bush campaign worker were really getting calls from Fox News, I find it difficult to believe that he would be posting a non-denial on some Portland blog site. And "Brad's" confession seems even more dubious. For some more investigation of this issue, check out www.isbushwired.com.
To whomever is trying to perpretrate this hoax (if that's what it is): you're not helping your cause. Remember how the fake National Guard letter on CBS stopped everyone from treating the National Guard issue seriously.
Re: Scott Zale's post in which he claims to have been contacted by a Knoxville Times reporter: There is no such newspaper. I have lived in Knoxville for over a decade.
It's online: www.knoxvilletimes.com. Seems weird to create on online local paper. Maybe it's fake, but if so, someone went to a lot of work to make a fake online paper b/c all the links seem to work. Even if the paper is real, those posts could be fake.
I agree that someone has gone to an awful lot of work to create a fake online newspaper. According to knoxvilletimes.com, the October 11, 2004 issue of this publication is issue 173. It's interesting to note, therefore, that a Google search for "Knoxville Times" does not bring this site up w/in the first ten links, while a Google search for "Knoxvilletimes" refers us to knoxvilletimes.com with the cached text "Knoxville Times will be launched very soon. Please check back in a few days."
Especially priceless is the travel section of the October 11, 2004 issue, which gives a glowing review of the Hyatt Regency Almaty, Kazakhstan!
Point taken; I stand corrected. The paper is definitely a hoax. The Kazakhstan hotel review is the only article that's actually on the website. All of the others are links to other news sites. Also, the "Post to our (fake) letters forum" link takes you to the "Contact Us" page, Issue 17. Still, someone put a lot of work into this size. Crazy.

Be very carefull of this... This looks very much like the type of trick Karl Rove and the RNC like to use to discredit critics in the press. Plant a plausible story that sounds true ( and of course is based on something real ) and then sucker over anxious reporters into reporting on i
