Did Bush's guru Karl Rove order the Murder of Mike Connell because he knew too much? Attorneys for Mike Connell, recently killed in a suspicious 'plane crash', had sought protection for Connell and his family. Connell was being threatened by Karl Rove, the Republican guru, arguably the 'brains' behind Bush's rise to near absolute power in the White House. If Rove's threats in response to Connell's imminent revelations are not probable cause to arrest Rove immediately, it ought to be. In any case, Rove should be targeted by an exhaustive and relentless investigation of this crime of obvious murder. Connell, who was on John McCain's payroll, had also been 'warned' that his craft had been tampered with. Connell was killed December 19th when the Piper Lance Saratoga he piloted crashed short of the Akron-Canton Airport runway. Sabotage was suspected immediately. Connell was the GOP IT guru who may have rigged Bush's victories in 2000 and, again, in 2004. Certainly, Karl Rove as well as the GOP leadership and George W. Bush have motive. Connell was the man who knew how the GOP steals elections. Connell was the man who knew too much. The fact that Connell was reportedly planning to 'tell all', perhaps implicating the White House, is motive enough for murder. On October 31, Mr. Connell appeared before a federal judge in Ohio after being subpoenaed in a federal lawsuit investigating the rigging of the 2004 election under the direction of Karl Rove. The judge ordered Mr. Connell to testify under oath at a deposition on November 3rd, the day before the presidential election. Velvet Revolution received confidential information that the White House was extremely concerned about Mr. Connell talking about his illegal work for the White House and two Bush/Cheney 04 attorneys were dispatched to represent him.An associate of Mr. Connell's told VR that Mr. Connell was involved with the destruction of the White House emails and the setting up of the off-grid White House email system.Mr. Connell handled all of John McCain's computer work in the recent presidential campaign. VR has received direct evidence that the McCain campaign kept abreast of the legal developments against Mr. Connell by reading the VR dedicated website, www.rovecybergate.com.This case stinks! If it is not fully investigated, there should be hell to pay. Rove's threats, the stolen elections, Rove's extremely close ties to George W. Bush, himself a war criminal and mass murderer, are just a few factors that literally scream: investigate! If a fair and thorough investigation implicates George W. Bush and numerous others in the GOP leadership --so be it! It's time to dispose of the garbage and hose down the stench that will be left in the White House.VR demands that the Ohio Attorney General and the United States Justice Department conduct a complete investigation into the activities of Mr. Connell and determine whether there was any foul play in his death. VR demands that federal law enforcement officials place the following people under protective custody pending this investigation.
A tipster close to the McCain campaign disclosed to VR in July that Mr. Connell’s life was in jeopardy and that Karl Rove had threatened him and his wife, Heather. VR’s attorney, Cliff Arnebeck, notified the United States Attorney General , Ohio law enforcement and the federal court about these threats and insisted that Mr. Connell be placed in protective custody. VR also told a close associate of Mr. Connell’s not to fly his plane because of another tip that the plane could be sabotaged. Mr. Connell, a very experienced pilot, has had to abandon at least two flights in the past two months because of suspicious problems with his plane. On December 18, 2008, Mr. Connell flew to a small airport outside of Washington DC to meet some people. It was on his return flight the next day that he crashed.As I have said repeatedly for over ten years --the GOP is NOT a political party. It is, rather, a crime syndicate, a mob, a kooky, malevolent cult!

Our prior request to have Mr. Connell protected went unheeded and now he is dead. --Velvet Revolution

Len;
I can’t believe there are no posts to this article.
Although, I do not believe turd blossom personally ordered Connel’s assassination, he has to be one of the most dispicable and repugnant bastards in the Republican party. He runs a close second to President Dick and his vice, Addington.
You cited Lisa in one of your posts on this scandal. She has numerous posts on turd blossom, his involvement with the firing and packing the Federal courts, and the rigged elections in Georgia that put Chanbliss in office, (with the help of SmartTech of Chatanooga, Tennesse). In fact, I don’t think she likes turd blossom at all.
Because he worked behind the scenes, Rove was able to do his dirty work the whole time he was in the White House. It would take some diligent investigation to uncover all his crimes against this country. And I do not foresee that happening.

His threats alone are probable cause sufficient to begin an official investigation of him.

It will only take one crime of this magnitude to put him away for life. In Texas, a guilty verdict for this crime would get you the needle.
For some reason, I believe the jig is up on these guys. They are losing their 'protection'! As long as Bush was calling the shots from the White House, Rove could get away with murder. Like any mob, however, the various dons are vulnerable when the Godfather is wounded.
Neil Bush had his maid killed at his own house in a freak car accident where she got pinned against the garage. Every prosecutor knows that their own life is in danger under shady circumstances if they pursue this. You need the weight of the people behind it first so they are protected by public opinion otherwise forget it. Dont let the devil win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Indeed! That's one of the things that is responsible for the demise of American democracy and jurisprudence. Justice cannot be both 'justice' and 'popular'.
But Karl Rove is vulnerable. No one likes him --not even the GOP establishment. The GOP will HAPPILY offer him up as a sacrificial lamb.
They will coldly calculate the risk that Rove will spill his guts. Should that happen the criminal nature of the entire GOP leadership will be revealed.
Fuzzflash sez...
Absolutely no doubt whatsoever that Connel was taken out by person or persons known to Rover. Who the fuck benefits here?
Lo and Behold....... it's GOPper & Allied!
So naturally, Connels' carking is just another one of those terrible accidents. Coulda happened to anyone.
Len, as made in the USA tanks rumble throught the streets of Bethlehem, the birthplace of the Prince of Peace, may the Yuletide wishes of you and the E.C. Crew come true.

Thanks Fuzz, tiago ...everyone else posting, visiting ...
For too many years now, American leadership has borne little 'goodwill toward men'! If our 'leaders' will not rise above evil and mediocrity, it is left to us to step forward to make them irrelevant, to create a better world. Happy holidays.
Len:
I had never even heard of this case. Thanks for making us aware of it. Obama and his team need to go after Bush, Cheney, Rove, et al. with both guns blazing until these bastards are in a federal penitentiary where they belong!
Eh, Connell is a special case. This was one screwed up guy; I really don't know how much of what he was saying would have been true, and I don't have trouble believing that he may have engineered his own demise. He was such a blowhard in general that discrediting him in the court of public opinion may have been a lot easier than a lot of people think.
Hopefully, we'll learn more. At this point, I'm neutral as to whether or not any deliberate act was perpetrated in Connell's case. Unless, of course, his undoubtedly long-suffering wife finally decided she'd had enough.

By 'engineer[ing] his own demise', do you mean that he was about to blow the whistle on the GOP? That being the case --it is not all surprising that those culpable in the GOP would order him 'hit'. That's how mobs work. The GOP is a mob!
He was such a blowhard in general that discrediting him in the court of public opinion may have been a lot easier than a lot of people think.
Naturally, the GOP will try to mount a full court press to the effect that he was a 'blowhard'. Point is: IT DOESN'T FUCKIN' MATTER!
No one is saying Connell was a hero. He was what he was --an IT expert who knew precisely how the GOP STOLE the elections of 2000 and 2004. Moreover, any technical information he might have revealed would most certainly have been consistent with the findings of an IT team at Princeton University who hacked a Diebold machine and revealed how easily the GOP could have done it.
I have absolutely no interest in any irrelevant cover the GOP is sure to puke up!
You are absolutely right, Existentialist Cowboy, the Bush administration is a cult, a death cult. Ask the families of the fallen US soldiers and the families of the hundreds of thousands dead Iraqi civilians.
This story may be a ringer. It comes from Velvet Revolution founded by a convicted bomber. The same bomber made headlines when he claimed that he'd sold Dan Quayle pot. He was slammed in solitary to quell the controversy (Quayle probably did smoke up a bit). Then he got out and became co-founder of Velvet Revolution.
The guy was a convicted bomber and it looks like a con job on the Quayle deal: "The executive producer of the CBS News program "60 Minutes," Don Hewitt, said today that a journalist had brought the same report to his office in mid-1990 (Quayle smoking up), and that the CBS reporter Morley Safer twice watched as the accuser was given lie-detector tests. "The guy not only flunks the test," Mr. Hewitt said, "but then he breaks down and cries in front of Morley and says, 'I made it up, trying to get out of jail.'" NYT 11/7/91.
The record of Bush and Cheney is clear. It's a murderous one. In this case, the source of publicity for this story lacks credibility.
If they're serious and since it's a murder, they'll either out the McCain campaign "source" or report the person to investigators. I don't know the rules of journalism but if you've got someone who may have been murdered and evidence pointing to the murder, then don't you have an obligation to stop further murders by coming clean?
Your stuff his great but this particular story could be just more self-serving promo.

That makes absolutely no FUCKIN sense whatsoever. There is probable cause to begin an investigation based up the legal documents that have currently been filed. What have Rove apologists to fear from an INVESTIGATION?
One assumes Rove continues with his operations because some powerful people find them very useful.
Also, since he buried most of them, Rove knows where all the bodies are- and who paid to plant them.
He doubtless has massive evidence that could imcriminate most of Poppy's crime family- and others- and ways to disseminate it if he should go down.

All the more reason to go after him. Unless, of course, EVERYONE IN THE COUNTRY is compromised.
That's how evil works.
There is left NO honest person that might dare speak the truth and insist upon the prosecution of a cabal of traitors, war criminals, mass murderers, corporate thieves and the legion of petty crooks and kiss asses who prop them all up.
Bush, Cheney, and Rove are literally guilty of murder for Iraq (at least). If the law doesn't allow that prosecution then there is something very wrong with the law. The Bush administration has demolished the country for the greed of their group of rogue business interests. Your release of the pdf on undercover warfare is one of the most important stories ever and it's not just this administration involved. A long line of presidents have tolerated this, a total outrage. Your analysis on this looks right on target. Finally, RFK Jr. was right in Rolling Stone. Ohio was stolen in 2004. That's a fact.
On this story, it's worth looking at who is telling it and who benefits.
Fact: The election fraud case in Ohio was stalled.
Fact: There is controversy regarding the conduct of the case among Ohio groups charging election fraud.
Fact: Connell was NOT delivering. He was a hostile witness.
Claimed fact: Someone in McCain's campaign provided a "tip" on a possible hit.
Fact: Connell is dead in an unexplained plane crash.
Let's have two investigations. First, investigate the crash with special attention to any criminal acts in the death of Connell. Regardless of claims, tips, and so on, there are good reasons to rule in or rule out a crime based on massive . Then, investigate the claimed fact that a leak on a potential murder occurred. One cannot receive that type of information without revealing everything. It has nothing to do with freedom of the press since getting the information and not revealing the source as a means of preventing the murder is participating in murder.
The truth of the claim that a tip came from McCain's campaign is the key to much of this. If it occurred, follow that lead. If it did not, then what was that claim all about?

Good point but I am afraid no one is even interested in this case.
Alas --only poor people are suspected of crimes in this country. The police --like the MIC --are tasked with protecting establishment interests. And that means: GOP, a 'party' which supports the the fact that in the US only one percent of the nation owns more than 90 percent combined.
Unless there is a sea change in American attitudes absolutely NOTHING will change. Karl Rove will walk and George Bush will seal off all the REAL evidence of numerous crimes ---or perhaps destroy it. The GOP crime syndicate will walk.
You are so right about poor people bearing the brunt of prosecutions. Your coverage of these important stories, particularly the history of intel ops (the released pdf) and now the WTC7 is truly superb.
The Connell story actually got some air time on the ABC affiliate in Cleveland, quite remarkable. So who knows. The bigger story is that the theft of 2004 has not been reconciled.
Great blog!!!

Good to know that the MSM has not completely ignored the story.
Like 911, the ruling elite gets away with mass murder because they own the media and everyone else would rather NOT know the truth. The truth about America is ugly. Most folk would rather watch some mind numbing sitcom or down a six pack to the wiggling butts of NFL cheerleaders.
Thanks for the kinds words. Keep the faith!
Correction: Connell was not scheduled to testify anywhere at the time of his death. One reporter claimed Connell was cooperating with her, but apparently was far from "telling all".
The rush to the conclusion that Rove had Connell killed may help grab people's attention, but it doesn't help the ongoing case in Ohio state court alleging vote fraud.
Highly charged debates over the cause of Connell's death will distract and also actually be used by Rove and company to gain sympathy for prejudicing the public.
The focus at this moment should be pressuring authorities to preserve records and compel other witnesses to testify, alerting the public that Connell's firms had raging conflicts-of-interest in running official vote count websites in Ohio on election night 2004.
That should be enough for now because most MSM coverage includes claims of conspiracy theories on left-leaning sites. Let's try to anticipate and diffuse this by concentrating on documented evidence suggesting vote fraud.

No where in the article nor the blockquotes from other sources does it say that 'Connell was SCHEDULED to testify'. What was stated TWICE was the following:
The judge ordered Mr. Connell to testify under oath at a deposition on November 3rd, the day before the presidential election.
You continue...

The article, rather, states that Rove is suspected! Certainly --Rove had 'motive'.

Politics! Howz about we INSIST upon a REAL investigation of the probable cause which --clearly --points to Karl Rove?

Thanks for your advice but I stand by the article and the numerous sources upon which it is based.
That should be enough for now because most MSM coverage includes claims of conspiracy theories on left-leaning sites. Let's try to anticipate and diffuse this by concentrating on documented evidence suggesting vote fraud.
It will 'be enough' ONLY when justice is done for a change! Enough of this bullshit is enough.
