ELECTION MESS A CIA COVERT OPERATION?

Old-timers with covert operations expertise felt in their gut that something about the
year 2000 presidential election blitz was part of an intelligence agency covert scheme. In
spy parlance, they suspected the American people are victims of "black ops".
Invoking "national security", the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency ordered the
major press and wire services to play down if not entirely omit any possible CIA
complicity mentioned in an Associated Press story later "spiked". Here are
portions of the apparently censored story:
"Thursday December 7 4:15 AM ET Florida Official Admits Helping GOP By VICKIE
CHACHERE, Associated Press Writer TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP)- One attorney charged there was a
'sinister' conspiracy to aide George W. Bush. A former CIA agent said he was trying to
help GOP voters. A county election official said she let Republican operatives correct
absentee
ballot applications." And later in the story:
As to the Martin County case, AP said: "Charles Kane, who testified he worked for the
FBI and retired from the CIA in 1975, said nothing secretive and sinister occurred. 'We
had an obligation to them', he said of Republicans who had received the inaccurate ballot
document.'We had filled out their forms. We did not see this as altering. All we saw this
as was correcting a problem caused by the Republican Party of Florida'" A later AP
version omitted these matters.
Even in the apparently suppressed story, Associated Press left out plenty. Retired CIA and
other agency covert operations agents contend the Charles Kane who testified in the Martin
County, Florida case is the same Charles Kane they have known for many years. They
describe Charles Kane as being reportedly as follows:
===When he was younger, Charles Kane reportedly looked almost exactly like Lee Harvey
Oswald, the CIA "patsy" blamed by the fraudulent Warren Commission as the
"lone assassin" in 1963 of President John F. Kennedy. Several assassination
researchers in their magazine articles and books have described how Oswald was framed up
with situations involving Oswald
"look-alikes". The book suppressed in the U.S., "Farewell America",
has an extensive detailing of this.
===Charles Kane was reportedly part of CIA's super-secret bloody dirty tricks project
called "Operation 40".
===Charles Kane reportedly played a role in CIA's aborted invasion in 1961 of Cuba at the
"Bay of Pigs".
===Charles Kane was active in Chicago with CIA-mafia gangsters including Sam
"Momo" Giancana, murdered with an OSS special type assassin gun in 1975, the
same year the current Charles Kane testified he retired from the American CIA. Kane was
also reportedly active with Johnny Roselli, a CIA-mafia operative murdered shortly after
Giancana. [Some details are
in "Double Cross" the book by Giancana relatives.] Kane reportedly helped
Chicago area gangsters, including Giancana, plant the fraudulent 8,000 ballots in Chicago
that enabled John F. Kennedy to carry Illinois and its Electoral College vote in 1960.
Nixon was left out as a result. Nixon later played a key role at CIA's "Bay of
Pigs" fiasco, blamed onto the newly-inaugurated President Kennedy.
===Charles Kane for many years reportedly was part of "Executive Action"
activities of the FBI and CIA,originally domestic and overseas coups and political
assassinations but in more recent years dirty tricks short of actual political murders.
Has the CIA complicity in orchestrating the Florida presidential election scandal, as well
as other events in the U.S., started to
unravel? Has an apparent split in American CIA surfaced by way of the testimony of Charles
Kane? Why then was he a witness in the Martin County case?
Equally puzzling is the reprnting in softcover, just prior to the year 2000 Presidential
Election,of the book "1876" by Gore Vidal. [He is a distant relative of Albert
Gore, Jr. Fancy people use their grandmother's last name as their first name.] Originally
published in 1976, by Random House, Inc., the last 80 pages or so of the book give the
details of the Samuel Tilden-Rutherford B. Hayes election struggle of 1876, a extremely
close election where one candidate got a plurality
of the national popular vote and the other got the majority Electoral College vote.
Strange, but it centered, in part around FLORIDA and massive corruption of public
officials as to the election.
Conspiracy theorists assert that the year 2000 election seems to use the book
"1876" as a nearly exact blueprint, for how the nation can be divided up.
Tilden, according to Gore Vidal's book, never conceded but lived out his life contending
he had been the elected President. Tilden sought at the site of the Presidential
inauguration to be sworn in as the elected President but was blocked by armed troops. As
re-createed in Vidal's book, the country almost boiled over into a second American Civil
War.
Little-known to the public,all the major Establishment news networks and newswire services
about to run stories about the American CIA, have to get prior clearance from the spy
agency. In the U.S., there is a non-statutory version of Britain's Official Secrets Act
requiring articles to be circulated effecting "national security" to be first
submitted to be approved. In a like fashion in the U.S., such articles have to be
submitted in advance to the CIA Censorship Board or a similar almost unknown agency or
commission.
British press outlets and newswire services that run afoul of the law are subject to
having their equipment, presses, radio and television transmitting instruments, buildings,
and vehicles seized by the London government. On the other hand, American outlets, under
presidential edict rather than law-by-Congress, if accused of about to violate
"national security", are subject to having their satellite links blocked by the
super-secret satellite operations agency, the National Reconnaissance Office, NRO;
websites shut down; and their wire service connections, domestic and overseas, terminated.
The U.S. Secret Service
reserves the arbitrary power to themselves to keep "un-co-operative" journalists
from attending important press conferences, by denying them mandatory press credentials
and security clearances, thus making such journalists unemployable.
The American CIA and their "privitized" adjuncts, such as reportedly Wackenhut,
have long engaged in overthrowing foreign governments, assassinating popular U.S.leaders
and officials, caused fake foreign and domestic "emergencies" and coups. WHY is
it hard then to believe they would not also orchestrate, on a vast scale, the overthrowing
of the American Central Government, to favor, for example, the British itching to return
us to a puppet colony status? Some contend we may see the
American Constitution overthrown by such means and the nation run by Martial Law as a way
of dealing with an expected U.S. financial debacle.
Stay tuned.
