Including --- for the first time --- the FULL Video of Clint Curtis' Sworn Testimony!

Where's the media? They're right here...and they're paying attention to reporting by The BRAD BLOG. I urge you to count no chickens in regards to coverage by major media on this story, friends. It's a rather explosive story, and the big boy media folks need to cross all their t's and dot all their i's before letting loose with these charges!

Of course, feel free to let them know about it! And ask them to cover it!

Until those media big big boys jump in however (and there's at least one very big big boy that I hear has been sniffing around this story!) take note of a few of the other recent Clint Curtis media appearances in one form or another...

FULL VIDEO TESTIMONY...

ON RADIO...

  • Live on Sunday! Curtis was on the Mark Levine radio show for an hour today. Levine is on an "inside the beltway" D.C. station (WAGE AM-1200), but he also streams live via the web. UPDATE: The archive of today's broadcast is now available here! Listen up!
  • Curtis was on the Ed Schultz radio show broadcast nationwide on Thursday, but unfortunately I failed to capture the interview while I was finishing up my response to YEI's "full statement" on the Curtis charges. I've contacted the producers of the show and am hoping to get the audio to post or link to here soon.
  • Audio from Curtis' radio appearances on Air America Radio and the Thom Hartman program during Week 1 of this scandal, are linked this previous item.

IN PRINT...

  • Feeney's hometown paper, The Seminole Chronicle covered the story very smartly yesterday. We spoke about it in detail, and linked to it right here...
  • Bob Fitrakis, the excellent investigative journalist and Senior Editor of Columbus' Free Press who has been doing so much good work on the entire Ohio mess, covered Curtis' testimony to the Judiciary Committee members in Ohio last Monday, in an article on the hearings right here. Fitrakis describes Curtis' testimony as "riveting". (The Free Press website seems to be "down" as of this posting, let's hope it gets back up in good order soon, and has not come under the same type of DDos hack-attacks that The BRAD BLOG suffered when we first began reporting on Election Irregularaties after Nov. 2nd! Given the tremendous coverage that FP has been offering, however, it wouldn't surprise me a bit.)
  • Adam Smith covered the Curtis story in The St. Petersburg Times last Sunday. But while including a response from YEI's "outside general counsel", Michael A. O'Quinn, on the matter, Smith failed to note that O'Quinn was Feeney's old lawpartner for years in Florida and that there was no evidence for O'Quinn's "disgruntled employee" charge which was later dropped in YEI's full statement. Smith is a decent columnist, but dropped the ball on that matter! Smith can be politely informed about this important oversight at adam@sptimes.com

INTERNATIONAL MEDIA...

  • Curtis is scheduled to interview with the great German investigative journal Der Speigel shortly. Marc Pitzke is covering the story for the magazine. We'll let you know when that article appears, and if an English translation being made available.
  • TV Asahi (a CNN affiliate from Japan) is working up a piece on Curtis for their "Hodo Station" program. Interesting that Japan may beat the US to a TV story on Curtis! Though perhaps their story may make CNN take notice of it!

As I hinted earlier, however, there is at least one major TV network news operation looking into this story. I don't want to say too much about who that is, as I don't wish to spook things for the moment, and as well, I've not yet been personally able to confirm it with the producers. But I've now heard about it from several different reliable sources.

As always, more info on all of the above as it becomes appropriate to publish here, soon!

Gotta say Brad, the idea of a major network picking up this story makes me more nervous than excited. Hope this isn't going to be a hit piece about crazy conspiracy theorists and sore losers.

You liberals are just far too easily unnerved!

Press on, bravely, junebug! The truth is always more powerful than fiction...even if it takes a while for the truth to get out there!

Brad: Who was the congressman questioning Mr. Curtis at the beginning of his testimony on Dec. 18 at Rep. Conyers' hearing? It sounded like our (MA) own Rep. Barney Frank, but I could have sworn that I was speaking wtih Mr. Frank on the phone, about just these issues, at the time the hearing was taking place in Ohio. Who was it?

My *guess* is that the voice you were hearing and referring to was probably Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY).

He was asking a lot of the early questions of Curtis.

(Prior to that Attorney Cliff Arnebeck was doing the initial questioning of Curtis on behalf of the committee).

Nice work. Keep it up.

Now we just need someone to leak the actual source code from somewhere along they way.

BradF:
Glad you got stuff back onto your original site name.

... but in doing so, it looks like you've lost all (most) of the comments that were posted, too.

That's too bad. I think the comments help newbies understand the kind of dialogue, opinions, questions, answers, etc that a lot of of us have about the Curtis/Feeney story.

Brad... if you can get a copy of the software from one of these machines (preferably an image with all OS files too [DLL's present on the system at the time, etc.]!!), please let me know.. I'd be happy to disassemble it, send you back the source code and investigate it myself.

btw... congrats on fixing the bandwidth issues!! - This is the first blog that I've been truely engrossed in!! - Well done and thanks for everything you're doing!! :)

MikeyCan - it is with much regret that I wasn't able to port the Comments over from BRAD BLOG TOO, and why I included a note with a link to the original post mentioning that original comments could be read there.

Best that I could do.

On the upside, I'm able to allow many more folks to comment here than I could over at Blogspot for various reasons. All the links to all the original articles are still there and will remain so folks can refer to those comments.

Method - If I could get that software, life would be a lot better in this democracy. Unfortunately, the software on the machines (already compiled) is as closely guarded as the source code that was used to compile it. It'll take much more authority than mine to subpeona the software from those machines.

Keep hammering away! This is so ludicrously funny watching you conpiracy nuts completely destroy the little remaining credibility of the "progressive" movement in America!

"attorney joe", you may post your opinions as you see fit here. But you may not post under several different names.

As you know, you've previously posted in other threads as "Larry" and attempting to post as if you, "attorney joe" agreed with "Larry's" statements.

Pick a name and stick with it, or all of your further comments will be summarily deleted. Consider yourself politely and specifically warned.

You are as nutty as the rest of them. Where is Clinton Curtis today?

... Bubba said on 12/20/2004 @ 3:33 pm PT...


Some people say why bother investigating these election "irregularities" because it will not change the election results. The point is we need to know if our democratic election process has been contaminated and if so, punish the perpetrators and take actions so that it can never happen again.

You are doing a patriotic service for America Brad. Keep the heat on.


COMMENT #13 [Permalink]
... Brad said on 12/20/2004 @ 10:02 pm PT...


Why do you ask, Attorney Joe (previously "Larry")?

Yesterday he was on the Mark Levine radio show for an hour being interviewed and taking calls (you can listen to it all here.

Beyond that, the point of your question alludes me.

Bubba (and others!) Thanks much for the very kind words! We will, in fact, be staying on this story! Much more to come!

Next time you run into Clinton Curtis, ask him whether it is true he wrote a threatening letter to his former employer, Yang. Threatening enough that the reported it to the police.

... attorney jim said on 12/21/2004 @ 8:10 am PT...


How IS his book (clinton curtis's) doing anyway?

I heard it is selling poorly at Amazon.com so you better get him on some tv & radio stations to hype it.

Attorney Jim kept trying with...

"Next time you run into Clinton Curtis, ask him whether it is true he wrote a threatening letter to his former employer, Yang. Threatening enough that the reported it to the police."

As you likely know if you read this latest piece, I've already asked him. You can read it to find out his answer. We're still waiting to hear back from the police and/or the "unnamed attorney" with any evidence to back up the claim that Keith Olbermann so irresponsibly passed on for them.

As to *your* silly attempt at a slur, I have no idea how his book is doing. Though I am unaware of a single instance in which he's even mentioned that book on any of his media appearances. Perhaps he did, but I don't remember him doing so in any of the ones that I listened to anyway.

Any other silly questions, "Attorney Jim"?

I'm sorry to see you care so little about such important issues as telling the truth, and democracy, and keeping American secrets out of the hands of Chinese spies and such...but whatever floats your boat.

Thats what we need is the source code.Im sure someone will get ahold of it before to long.Hec if the GOP can get away with it scott free its only fair play in my book.The got to cheat to win elections because they are more Americans than their will ever be republicans.In a competitive world a democratic company just needs to build evoting machines now and undercut the cost of the republican controlled vote and hide the source code and then watch Karl "poopy pants" Rove start crying then

Brad, the goal of your heckler is to slow you down. Your blog is private property, and if you want to snuff his posts, you're not suppressing free speech. You're just asserting your ownership of that property.

The one thing that troubles me is that for a fraud of this kind to be implemented in an election, other people would have to know about it. Maybe not many. One itinerant tech can install a lot of code, and even he would not have to know what it did. But there should be others who know. And maybe one or two who care enough about their country to come forward.

While the goals of the U.S. and the Philippines seem to be the same regarding elections --- fair and fraud-free, their methods are diametrically opposed. The Philippines is desperate to get away from paper ballots and automate their elections, and the U.S., having been there done that, is heading in the opposite direction.

Happy Independence Day! We're taking the weekend off....
