It is becoming more and more clear that "claims" like these, just like the bogeymen and their supposed "organisations," are just fabricated, to be planted at an opportune moment in the mainstream media. Some say OBL always was, and continues to be, a CIA asset, and the "organisation" Al Quaeda as well. These are the claims which are becoming more credible by the day.

The most interesting aspect of the Bali bombing is that it had to be some sort of very powerful bomb, probably a "micro-nuke," technology to which no 'freelance' terrorists would have access. For a full series of articles on this, please visit Joe Vialls' website. An example of his investigation can be found here.

Re: Dirty Tricks (11/6)

Banana-fana-fo-Karen

My idea for a dirty trick would be to find a candidate with the exact same or similar name as the opponent, and run that person on a 3d party ticket. E.g., in KC, Karen McCarthy is our congressman, unbeatable b/c it's a city, urban, and blue collar district that votes democrat just as night follows the day. The GOP should find a "Karen McCarthy" to run as alibertarian or green party candidate. That woudl suck votes away, maybe enough to steal the seat.

Get a life, Stuart

Please explain how you get from this:

It also claimed that, before you could cast a ballot, you had to pay off your parking tickets, your overdue rent, "and most important any warrants."

To this:

"....actually dissuade blacks from voting".

Are you racially profiling; suggesting that it would only be blacks who would need to pay parking tickets, overdue rent, and warrants? Or are you suggesting that blacks aren't intelligent enough to know these requirements don't exist, or that election day is no Nov. 6.

Sure seems racist to me.
