Possible Assassination of Wellstone

Come on, Minnesota. Whatever happened, happened in your state. Give us some info, please. I posting this to politely prod you.

BREAKING NEWS.

THE CREWS ON THE GROUND FOUND TWO LARGE SECTIONS OF PLANE. THE TAIL SECTION WAS INTACT. THE WEATHER DID NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE CRASH, SAID THE ON THE SCENE REPORTER.

Wolf Blitzer tried to correct her.

He said, The plane was flying into the storm of freezing rain, right?

THERE IS NO EVIDENCE THAT WEATHER HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE CRASH.

The on-the-scene reporter stuck to her guns. Wonder how long she will have her job?

Is crashed plane, spit into to two parts more consistent with an explosion on the plane, or with a plane crashing due to weather difficulties?

CNN explains why Wellstone might have been assassinated.

One CNN anchor called Wellstone the most liberal Senator--- saying he was even more liberal than Ted Kennedy!!

He was called courageous, and spoken of as putting himself at risk for opposing the President when he voted against war. Not long ago, it appeared that Wellstone's vote against the war would hurt his candidacy. Recent polling data indicated that this was not the case, and CNN did not discount the possibility that he was assassinated.

The death of Wellstone will enable the Republicans to gain control of the Senate.

Wellstone was called by CNN, a champion of worker rights, of national health care, and of parity for mental and health insurance for all citizens.

Could such a progressive stance, almost unheard of in the Senate, have incited a plot to assassinate him. He was called, the friend of the little guy, and of unions. He fought against international sex trafficking.

C-Span was hosting a live conference on the elections when the news broke. One spokesperson for the Republicans spoke of the sadness which Americans must feel at the death of Wellstone. Meanwhile, the face of this party operative betrayed no sadness whatsoever; rather he appeared very tranquil and almost pleased.

CNN spoke of the stances which Wellstone took in connection with great risks, great dangers, and personal courage, which he faced as a result of his contrarian positions. People can read between the lines. Wolf Blitzer, the cover man for CNN-- who always smoothes things over to put them in conformity with the establishment view-- read a list of many politicians who have died in plane crashes. Blitzer clearly wanted to establish this as a normal event, an accident, not due to any political machinations. However, Blitzers approach clearly contrasted with that of other anchors who spoke in detail of his risky, dangerous, and courageous stances, which could have had serious consequences from him. No CNN anchor has yet openly suggested assassination; but the implication has been near the surface. A number of aviation experts, following Blitzer, suggest that the pilots did not turn on the anti-ice. It was suggested that the work load on this flight must have been high, because the pilot had to turn on the anti-ice, and might have decided not to, to get to a higher altitude. One anchor suggested weather problems. Though independent journalists have said that the weather was normal.

The plane MIGHT have sat on the run way and accumulated ice, which was not cleaned off, said one so called expert. It appeared to me that they were clutching at straws. The flimsiness of official explanations must inevitably lead the thinking observer to consider the possibility of assassination.

Vermont Senator Patrick Leahy was asked to comment on Wellstone, in an interview on CNN, at 2:35 p.m.

Unlike others, he appeared very emotional, and upset. (Is he worried that he might be next on a list of possible targets, as well?)

Leahy said,

Whether you agreed with him politically, you had to like him. He was honest. He was not interested in the trappings of the power. He was not self interested. He was concerned about Health Care, the Environment, the Minimum Wage. He was committed.

Leahy was in tears, and had to pause, to collect himself.

Blitzer said, I can see you are all choked up. We all are. (Blitzer did not appear to be at all choked up or emotional). Blitzer said,

He was a committed man, who worked hard to advance his agenda.

Is that supposed to part of a eulogy? If Bush had died, would he not say, Bush was a man who worked hard for all Americans? Was Wellstone simply advancing HIS OWN AGENDA? A more charitable view would be, he was advancing the agenda of real working people, of people without health care coverage, the agenda of the laboring majority, working for substandard wages.



The plane which Wellstone flew was reported to be: Raytheon craft, A-100 model. Is there some irony here? Raytheon, more than almost any other company, would suffer huge profit losses, if the Wellstone anti-war stance comes to dominate national politics.

The tone on CNN had become maudlin by 2:45; Pete Dominici came on the air to speak about Wellstone. But there was silence. No tears, no choking voice. Just silence. Soon an aid came on to say the interview would not go forward. Pardon my skepticism, but is it just too difficult for Republicans to find anything good to say about Wellstone, other than: He fought for his agenda.



Another question: If Bush had died in a plane crash, would there not be immediate open speculation about the possibility of assassination? Wellstone held the balance in the Senate for the Democrats; he was as opposed to Bush policies as any Senator could be, in issues of war, health policy, and labor issues. His death has great political and social significance.

Political commentator, Bill Schneider, said,

Wellstone was admired because he stood on conviction. He was the voice of sixties idealism. He said the Democratic Party had lost his soul. He made a nationwide trip through poor areas in the late 90's, JUST LIKE ROBERT KENNEDY DID.

Could the implication be any clearer? Kennedy was assassinated during his campaign against Nixon, in what remain suspicious circumstances. Commentators can not come out now, apparently, to suggest a deliberate murder of Senator Wellstone, but more than one anchor tiptoes around it.

The Republicans TARGETED Wellstone, said Sen. Pat Murray of Washington state.

So Wellstone was targeted. Of course, Murray was speaking of the deliberate targetting of the Wellstone campaign in Minnesota, by sending in huge amounts of funding to his opponent. However, the implication is once again clear. Wellstone was one of the most crucial political figures in

Bush gave the US a very, very brief statement, which concluded with the words,

May the good lord bless those who grieve.

Bush did not say that HE GRIEVED. His remarks were curt, and, in my view, insulting in their brevity.

By 3:00 p.m. another so called expert was brought on. He spoke almost exclusively of the crash as an accident. Did he slip when he said at one point, IF THIS IS FOUND TO BE AN ACCIDENT? He did not elaborate, but went on to discuss the cockpit voice recorder, the last contact with the FAA, and other details. (This was Bob Francis, with the FTAA).

Wasn't vince foster the baseball commisioner?

He's dead?

Please provide links to document this.

Im still smarting from the dodgers having left brooklyn.

Why would anyone go after baseball?

Obviously, Fritz Mondale is behind this. . . making sure to knock off the wife so there wouldn't be another Jean Cardahan deal!!

Remember, ask yourself. . . who benefits!

If you want to spin theories of likely assassins, then look no further than the (anti)Democratic Party and it's titular head, Terry McAuliffe. Wellstone was a far lefty that embarrassed the party's attempts to appeal to more mainstream voters. He was also likely to lose his seat in the Senate, something that the (anti)Democrats cannot tolerate. They are pulling out all the stops: Running a dead person in Hawaii, finding dead voters coast to coast, violating laws to appoint their own candidate to run in New Jersey. Wellstone was outside the Clinton-McAuliffe circle, and a weak link. A sympathy candidate would almost certainly triumph in his stead. Smoke on that one, Lefty.

For all of you who suggest Paul Wellstones planes crash was anything but an accident would imply that there was some foul play at work here. Now who would want to kill someone as progressive as Paul Wellstone? I am sure you will have trouble finding any powerful well connected person who would want to see one of the most anit-war, pro-worker members of the senate eliminated! However this reports claims that there is some apparent funny business going on at the crash site, this is usually indicative of some sort of cover up as with the TWA 800 crash. I truely hope that Paul Wellstones most untimely demise was an accident, for to suggest anything eles would mean that the US congress has been effectivly removed as a reasonable check to the power of the executive branch, and lets all remember how the current executive got into power in the first place. And just a side note, John Jr's plane crashed at a most untimely moment as weel, right before the young Kennedy was to announce his bid for the 2000 election. Let me just ask all of you do you Think Gore would have won the democratic Primary if he had to face John Jr instead of Senator Bradley, and if so do you think John Jr. would have lost the general election by 600 votes in Florida?

Wellstone was assassinated by a hit team, that modified the navigation beacons at Eveleth/Virginia Airport. When the assassins turned the real beacon back on, the VOR/DME 108.2, they left the beacon slightly out of tolerance. The State of Minnesota maintains these beacons, but they are unguarded, and the closer you are to one, the easier to cause interference, or jam one, or send a ghost signal. The Plane took a very odd turn that is baffling the NTSB, as well as aviation experts. The Pilots were fooled into a fake approach, by the time they realized they were not at the Airport, coming out of the clouds, they were too low, and slow, and into the trees.

The FBI in Minneapolis sent 15 agents to look at the wreckage, the beacon was found to be out of tolerance, but the FBI has started no investigation into the case as a multiple Homicide, the FBI lacks the expertise, or the guts to go after the assassins. The NTSB investigator falsely assumed there was a black box on the aircraft, the confidence she displayed at first, was gone from her face, after finding there was no black box the next day...

There will be no explanation found for this crash, just like there is no explanation for the Anthrax. Paul Wellstone Introduced S.2050, which would have closed tax loopholes on some of the richest, and most dangerous Companies in the World. This could have cost 250 billion, to half a Trillion dollars to Offshore Companies. You don't have to look far, to see whom he was a threat to, and the money he was threatening.

Simply put, you mess with these people, you die. The FBI was never able to stop the .22 gang, much less this new breed of assassin. The DFL only cares about putting a Democrat in his seat, Wellstone was one of the few that has not sold out, and really cared about the American People, and not about Greed, The Oil companies, the Drug Companies, the Insurance Companies, or the HMO's, and most of all, the Offshore Multinationals that assassinated him....

Wellstone's death an accident? An assasination? We will never get a clear resolution to this. We will never see the evidence. We will never know for sure. Does anyone see a pattern here? A pattern that goes back a few decades. Yet you will not know for sure.

The questions to ask are:

Was there a clear motive for killing the Senator?

What do your instincts, your guts, tell you?

If it was a right-wing Senator, do you really believe that the news would not be loaded with speculation about motives? About possible terrorism? This passed very quickly didn't it? "Time to move on".

Remember the 2000 elections? Remember another Senatorial candidate who was pivitol in the balance of power struggle in the senate?

Ask yourselves, does it "feel" like a random event?

Or does it feel like a power struggle between one faction of this country and the rest of us?

It will be our lives, our futures, and our childrens futures that are at stake. And these stakes will determine how you feel in the morning each and every day that you wake. Your guts will tell you whether you want to listen or not, about the kind of country we will be living in then. And all the happy news that you are fed- like the happy news that citizens of the USSR were fed each and every day of their sorry shitty lives will not be enough to still the voice inside you, that asks you every morning- what happened to my country? What happened to my sense of security?

And when did this democracy slip away leaving us to face the stark days ahead.

People, you had better start listening to your guts, you had better get out and vote, you had better start the process of reclaiming this country for your children- because, if history has anything to tell you at this moment in time- it's telling you to wake up!

Coleman fortold Senator Wellstone's Demise?

(from Oct 11 Debate)

I'm from the Twin Cities- just finished reviewing the KTCA Debate between the Candidates: Sen. Paul Wellstone (D-MN) and

Norm Coleman (R-MN).[Originally aired - Friday, October 11, 2002] - St. Paul, MN.

I got a chill from a comment made by Coleman in response to the reasoning Wellstone gave for running for the third term he

promised not to- among which included that he was needed by the people he represented etc.. Coleman responded firmly that

"The graveyards were full of folks who thought they were indispensible". When I first watched the debate 3 weeks ago- I thought it

was a good shot on Coleman's part - Now in hindsight it felt just eerie!!

{ Quote from 38-40 min into the debate}

This debate is still available on the c-span site, but only if you search Wellstone in the video archives.

Since it is over 2 weeks old it will be removed soon. KTCA (ktca.org) still has it archived in the Almanac section, under "Big

Senate debate Show".

You are all fools not to believe America and it’s political left are now directly in the unconstitutional gun sights of evil men now in control of our nation.

911 is blatant evidence the majority of Americans are being slaughtered like ignorant sheep for not monitoring what’s really going on in the corrupt halls of our own US Government. Sure there are terrorist who want to kill Americans…. But even worse is there are US Government officials who have let it happen for their own personal gains.

Now our own CIA has been giving the abuse green light to take out (cold blooded murder) any AMERICAN they feel is a threat or suspected to terrorism. I guess that will include all environmentalist, abortion activist. The point is where does such unconstitutional abuse stop? After all opposition to George Bush and Corporate America is murdered?

We have been overtaken by domestic enemies of the US Constitution fools and it ain’t just the terrorist. Take a good close hard look our many of our Military and Government leaders. They are now just totally ignoring the US Constitutions protection’s to fellow Americans they are swore to uphold…”they are traitors plain and simple.”
