US lawmakers request UN observers for November 2 presidential election
Yahoo News AFP ^ | July 1, 2004 | Yahoo News AFP

"WASHINGTON (AFP) - Several members of the House of Representatives have requested the United Nations (news - web sites) to send observers to monitor the November 2 US presidential election to avoid a contentious vote like in 2000, when the outcome was decided by Florida.

Recalling the long, drawn out process in the southern state, nine lawmakers, including four blacks and one Hispanic, sent a letter Thursday to UN Secretary General Kofi Annan (news - web sites) asking that the international body "ensure free and fair elections in America," according to a statement issued by Florida representative Eddie Bernice Johnson, who spearheaded the effort..."

Though they DO sometimes get out of their cage!

You all can send them up our way. We have some neighborly folks by the names of Hatfield and McCoy who would love to have a little fun with someone new.

Eddie Bernice Johnson?

That's something like Johnny Esther Jones, or Cyndi Edward Smith?

They're making plans to have Kofi give Bush some payback. If Bush wins, Kofi will declare the election "flawed" and "illegitimate"

Slap myself on the forehead! Of course, it's the odd name which caused her to betray our country, that's it! /sarcasm and attempt to find some humor in this :-)

Now go look up where Bush was on that date. I did this a few years ago but can't find my report.

US presidents only speak at the UN a few times- it's a big deal. To have a speech by a US president pulled from all official US archives plus the archives of the UN and all major newspapers, and have the record that there even was a speech destroyed is something that only Orwell would dream up.

Bush never gave that speech or made that quote, somebody made it up. Like Michael Bellesisles, Michael Moore, or Bill Clinton make stuff up.

Here is a reference on where Bush was on that date- at Camp David in MD, with Boris Yeltsin. You will easily find newspaper refernces to this event; there was a press conference.

When our country legitimately requires election oversight that would also be the time for Marines to monitor activities of Congresswoman Johnson and her band of 8.

Cato Blasts Danforth Waco Report
By DANIEL KAGAN, Managing Editor, UPI Think Tank Desk

WASHINGTON, April 10 (UPI) -- A new study by the Cato Institute says that
the final official government report on the 1993 Branch Davidian disaster in
Waco, Tex.-- which exonerated federal officials from wrongdoing-- is "not
supported by the factual evidence."

In "No Confidence: An Unofficial Account of the Waco Incident," criminal
justice scholar Timothy Lynch, director of the libertarian Cato's Project on
Criminal Justice, analyzes the legal implications of certain undisputed
events and concludes that the official investigation into the incident --
led by special prosecutor former Sen. John Danforth of Missouri -- was "soft
and incomplete." According to Lynch, many obvious crimes have gone
unprosecuted.

For example, says Lynch, ATF agents were caught on tape assaulting a local
television cameraman after he had filmed their retreat from the initial raid
on the Branch Davidian complex. Lynch says that ATF agents also lied to
federal investigators -- a federal offense -- but were never prosecuted
despite recommendations by U.S. Marshals.

More seriously, he says, FBI agents exhibited a gross disregard for human
life when they indiscriminately fired "ferret" rounds at the Davidian
residence and used tanks to ram its walls. "Since at least one child was
struck by a ferret round, second-degree murder charges may be appropriate,"
Lynch writes.

Also, the involvement of certain FBI officials in the Waco operation
"should have set off alarm bells with Special Prosecutor Danforth's
investigators," Lynch writes. Those officials were suspended by the
Department of Justice for their involvement in the controversial "Ruby
Ridge" incident, in which the wife of white separatist survivalist Randy
Weaver was killed by an FBI sniper during a nine-day standoff with agents in
Ruby Ridge, Idaho in 1992. One of these officials was eventually sentenced
to 18 months in prison for destroying evidence and lying to investigators
about his role in that cover-up.

Lynch points out that the involvement of those officials in supervisory
positions at Waco was not even mentioned in the special prosecutor's report.
"Danforth should have hauled those individuals before a grand jury and
questioned them about missing Waco evidence," Lynch says. "He did not."

If the crimes chronicled in his study go unpunished, Lynch concludes, "the
Waco incident will leave an odious precedent-that federal agents can use the
"color of their office" to commit crimes against citizens."

The report is available as Policy Analysis no. 395 at the Cato Institute

As I wrote them down I verifed each one.

You need to do a bit of studying on Agenda 21 and UN treaties.
