A Trip Down Memory Lane – Back to 2003 and the Jessica Lynch Rescue Hoax/Patrick Miller Heroics Cover-up

Here’s one of my favorite memories of 2003 – The Jessica Lynch Rescue Hoax
First we heard about Jessica Lynch as a private who was attacked and fought down to here last bullet – even whipped out her knife, because she would not be taken alive!
Then we see the staged rescue where she was supposedly being held captive at the hospital.


Jessica Lynch
The other four people Miller saved

Turns out:
1) She was in a convoy accident/She was never in combat
2) She was being treated very nicely in the Iraqi hospital. There was no need to rescue her.
3) There actually was a hero that day – Patrick Miller – whose story the government decided to cover-up because it made their made up heroics for Jessica look bad.
4) He’s such a devoted soldier, he doesn’t want to make a big deal about it.
This has all been confirmed by both the BBC and 60 Minutes.
Here’s a playlist of these clips so you can see them all easily, whenever it’s convenient for you.
If those files are too large for you for some reason, I have them broken down into two and/or three parts here.

Write Me Again If I’ve Promised You A Copy of Stealing America

Hey I finally got my package of Stealing America DVDs.
Write me again at lisa@lisarein.com with your address, ok? I might have lost it already if you wrote me two weeks ago.
As I mentioned earlier, I am not making copies of Dorothy Fadiman’s DVD and handing them out. I am choosing to send you one of the stack of copies I was given for my participation in the film.
I’m about to put up a bunch of clips from the movie too.
Let’s start figuring out what we’re going to do about it this year, if the disenfranchisement happens again.

Foleygate Playlists to Help You Keep It All Straight

I’ve created a bevy of playlists on the Foleygate scandal, so you can watch them in order or skip around to the coverage from different days, or browse by show, or whatever.
I have Foleygate playlists for MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann, Jon Stewart’s Daily Show and Stephen Colbert’s Colbert Report, and for different variations on all three shows, by date mainly. These three are the only shows really covering what happened and who was involved.
What’s going on, of course, is even worse than was originally believed. It turns out that numerous people went to House Leader Dennis Hastert and told him about Foley’s ongoing problem with sending pages both sexually explicit emails and emails that were just kinda creepy (but you got what he was getting at).
The Republican Leadership had known about it for years, and were covering it up for political reasons.
Here are all the Foleygate Playlists
I’m about to add a bunch more clips from this last week over the weekend.

New RU Sirius Show Up On Mondoglobo – With Me As Guest Co-host

I had a great time guest co-hosting with RU Sirius and Jeff Diehl on this week’s RU Sirius show. (MP3 – 26 MB)
We talked about election fraud (what a surprise) and interviewed Dan the Automator (Dan’s myspace page).
Photos are forthcoming, but I hate to hold up posting for anything these days, because I seem to never get back to it…

Checking in on a more personal note…and meeting Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

So a lot is going on lately. There’s so much going on, that I don’t know where to begin in explaining it. So I’ll just start putting stuff up…
It’s all good, in different ways. On the creative musical and video front, I’ve been preparing a lot over this last month that I’m ready to start rolling out over these next few weeks. On the Dabble front, we’re ready to roll out some new features and are adding a ton of new content collections from all sorts of cool websites. On the Wide Hive Records front, we have a number of new releases, and I sing background vocals on three different tracks on one of them: Salsa Blanco.
On the political front, I finally made time for a political fundraiser last Friday night, to meet a number of Congressional Candidates in this upcoming election, and I was instantly rewarded when none other than Robert F. Kennedy Jr. stopped by to say hi.

I’m quite a fan of Bobby’s lately, as he has been one of the few people to speak out about the 2004 Election irregularities in two different Rolling Stone articles (Was the 2004 Election Stolen? and Will the 2006 Election Be Hacked?), and on numerous television programs.
It was great to be able to hand him a copy of Stealing America. (There are a several clips of him included in the film.)
It was also a big reminder of the unprecedented attack on the environment by the Bush Administration – another critical reason why we have remove this administration and all the professional crooks that are running it at our earliest opportunity.
