EVIDENCE MOUNTS THAT PAUL WELLSTONE WAS MURDERED, DICK CHENEY GAVE THE ORDER Current rating: 0

EVIDENCE MOUNTS THAT PAUL WELLSTONE WAS MURDERED!
DICK CHENEY GAVE THE ORDER
Evidence indicates that Wellstone crash was no accident
Minnesota Sen. Paul Wellstone was a serious man who cared profoundly about his fellow citizens. He took courageous stands against an administration that he viewed with profound suspicion, arguing eloquently against tax cuts for the rich, the subversion of the Constitution, and violating international accords. He would have led the opposition to the war in Iraq if only he had had the chance. Everyone knew it and he may have died because of it.

For nearly a year now, evidence has been accumulating about the event that ended the life of this magnificent human being. Whatever caused the crash was not the plane, the pilots or the weather. In spite of what you may have heard, the plane was exceptional, the pilots well-qualified and the weather posed no significant problems. Even the National Transportation Safety Board's own simulations of the plane, the pilots and the weather were unable to bring the plane down.

This means we have to consider other, less palatable, alternatives, such as small bombs, gas canisters or electromagnetic pulse, radio frequency or High Energy Radio Frequency weapons designed to overwhelm electrical circuitry with an intense electromagnetic field. An abrupt cessation of communication between the plane and the tower took place at about 10:18 a.m., the same time an odd cell phone phenomenon occurred with a driver in the immediate vicinity. This suggests to me the most likely explanation is that one of our new electromagnetic weapons was employed.

The politics of the situation were astonishing. The senator was pulling away from the hand-picked candidate of the Bush machine. Its opportunity to seize control of the U.S. Senate was slipping from its grasp. Its vaunted "invincibility" was being challenged by an outspoken critic of its most basic values. Targeted for elimination, he was going to survive. Here's one man's opinion: Under such conditions, the temptation to take him out may have been irresistible.

Among the striking indications that something was wrong with the NTSB in its inquiry into the causes of the crash is that Carol Carmody, a former employee with the CIA, the head of the team, announced the day after that the FBI had found no indications of terrorist involvement. Yet it is the responsibility of the NTSB to ascertain the cause of the crash, which has yet to be determined to this very day.

So how could the FBI possibly know?

The FBI's prompt arrival was peculiar. As Christopher Bollyn of American Free Press reported (www.rumor millnews.net, Oct. 29, 2002), "According to Rick Wahlberg, then St. Louis County sheriff, a team of FBI agents was quickly on the crash site about noon, less than an hour after (assistant manager Gary) Ulman and the (fire) chief had first located the site and found a way to access the wreck. This FBI team had come from the distant Twin Cities in record time!"

When Bollyn "asked Ulman if he had notified the FBI about the accident, Ulman said he had not spoken with the bureau at any time. Asked how the FBI got to the site so quickly, Ulman said that he assumed they had come from Duluth. AFP contacted the Duluth office of the FBI and was told that the team of 'recovery' agents had not come from Duluth but had traveled from the FBI office in Minneapolis."

I calculate that this team would have had to have left the Twin Cities at about the same time the Wellstone plane was taking off.

Gary Ulman confirmed to me that the FBI had been on the scene no later than 1 p.m.

I have reviewed the log books maintained by the Sheriff's Department at Eveleth and have discovered that they are grossly incomplete and cannot confirm when the FBI showed up.

The FAA has told me that its records of private aircraft arriving in Duluth that morning have been destroyed, even though they might verify the FBI's early arrival.

And the NTSB has canceled sessions where it would ordinarily take input from the public.

Michael Ruppert (fromthe wilderness.com, Nov. 1, 2002) has reported, "The day after the crash I received a message from a former CIA operative who has proven extremely reliable in the past and who is personally familiar with these kinds of assassinations. The message read, 'As I said earlier, having played ball (and still playing in some respects) with this current crop of reinvigorated old white men, these clowns are nobody to screw around with. There will be a few more strategic accidents. You can be certain of that.' "

If you think that's a stretch, consider: Hundreds of young Americans have been put in harm's way by a war that was promoted on the basis of lies about weapons of mass destruction, collaboration with Osama bin Laden, and Sept. 11.

Some 3,000 Americans were killed when the Twin Towers collapsed, and yet the president and the vice president of the United States have done everything they can to obstruct a open and honest investigation of the causes of that traumatic event. And when a leak from his own administration leads to the exposure of a CIA operative concerned with weapons of mass destruction, the President tells us "we may never know."

This is a corrupt administration.

One of the oddest events since the election is that Wellstone's successor in the U.S. Senate, Norm Coleman, has been placed in charge of the Senate Investigations Committee.

That is an extraordinarily sensitive responsibility to be placed upon a freshman senator with no previous experience. My guess would be that it has never happened before. But the reasoning behind it may not be that difficult to fathom: Would anyone be less inclined to pursue the Wellstone death?

One man's opinion: The evidence presented here and elaborated elsewhere in detail establishes a prima facie case that this death was no accident, that the motives were political and begs the question: Was the White House involved?

An investigation by the St. Louis County prosecutor would be most welcome.

In the chorus of memories for a man who made a difference, let us bear in mind that truth is our only defense against an onslaught of lies that have dominated a media that appears too weak or too complicit to resist.

"American Free Press"?

You might want to take a look at their site before you quote it as a source. Especially the white supremicist stuff.

Way to go Jim. You have just jumped into the #1 spot on the "Most Asinine Things Written on This Website" list. Please fill us in next time on who killed JFK.

Oliver Wendall Holmes once said " We protect the speech that we hate the most." Jim, despite the multiple voices that you hear in your head, I believe that even your simple mind has a right to post on this site, whatever loopy hypothesis you or your leftist friends may have.

ML, How do you feel about this????

Well, the fact that the exact cause of the crash has not been conclusively determined is not proof or even evidence of murder. That implication is an example of the fallacy of the argument from ignorance (a very common element in conspiracist "reasoning").

In addition, the fact that the FBI ruled out terrorist activity before the NTSB drew any conclusion isn't really suspicious. One doesn't have to know the cause of the crash in order to test for such indicators as explosive residue, etc.

When a doctor rules out one or more possible diagnoses before finally arriving at one which accounts for all of his/her observations, is that evidence of fraud or cover-up? Hardly. Forming, testing and eliminating hypotheses are a normal part of any diagnostic process, whether it be seeking the cause of illness or of technical malfunction.

Having earned my living troubleshooting complex electronic systems for over twenty years, I can attest that an awful lot of hypotheses get considered and rejected in the first few minutes each time I approach another problem. Here's a trivial example: if the power rail indicators are on, I can instantly eliminate the possibility of power supply failure as a cause, even though I might still be hours away from nailing down the source of the problem.

These situations are directly analogous to the investigation of an accident.

All in all, this article gives off a distinct odor of Haberdashery by Alcoa.

WHY is it "assinine"? Do you blindly believe in this administration, or what? Anyone with a mind of their own - Cheney supporter or not- would immediately consider the possibility of murder in this case. This is not a party issue. This is something that needs to be investigated and Bush supporters should want it to be investigated as much as non supporters. Anyone who blindly rules out the possibility of bush/cheney foul play in this situation is a HALFWIT - plain and simple.

Laurie, put down the crack pipe. Not everything is a big conspiracy, sometimes unfortunate accidents happen. Trying to smear someone with unfounded accusations is what is assinine.
