Greg Palast: Stealing Mexico: Bush Team Helps Ruling Party "Floridize" Mexican Presidential Election

Oh God, does anyone think that they won't steal out elections again, if they can do this?

Might I exclaim, "Oh, Shit!?

Or is all this disinformation?

Who the hell knows anymore?

See....that is the problem...!


Greg Palast: Stealing Mexico: Bush Team Helps Ruling Party "Floridize" Mexican Presidential Election:

"George Bush's operatives have plans to jigger with the upcoming elections. I'm not talking about the November '06 vote in the USA (though they have plans for that, too). I'm talking about the election this Sunday in Mexico for their Presidency.

It begins with an FBI document marked, 'Counterterrorism' and 'Foreign Intelligence Collection' and 'Secret.' Date: '9/17/2001,' six days after the attack on the World Trade towers. It's nice to know the feds got right on the ball, if a little late.

What does this have to do with jiggering Mexico's election? Hold that thought.

This document is what's called a 'guidance' memo for using a private contractor to provide databases on dangerous foreigners. Good idea. We know the 19 hijackers came from Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and the Persian Gulf Emirates. So you'd think the 'Intelligence Collection' would be aimed at getting info on the guys in the Gulf.

No so. When we received the document, we obtained as well its classified appendix. The target nations for 'foreign counterterrorism investigation' were nowhere near the Persian Gulf. Every one was in Latin America -- Argentina, Venezuela, Mexico and a handful of others. See one of the documents yourself."
