Mystery plane crash of Rove's IT guy (Update)


We have not had a good mystery plane crash in ages. The victim, in this case, was Mike Connell, head of GovTech, the company at the heart of the White House email scandal and the 2004 election controversy. The video above goes into the latter imbroglio in some detail, although you won't hear Connell's name mentioned until the 4 minute mark.

Remember the email scandal? That's where the White House ran sensitive emails through private servers, thereby bypassing the Presidential Records Act. Millions of emails got scrubbed. Here are a few reminders from previous posts...
I note that a NewMedia web page lists GovTech as a "partner" business. (NewMedia is Connell's "other" business.) There is a link to GovTech and a brief description of what they do.

That description reveals that GovTech has set up "complex internet communications" for the White House.

Hello...?

So far, no other published account has mentioned any work done by GovTech for the White House. In fact, the White House is never mentioned on the company's site! (At least, I could find no such reference.) Congress, yes; the Department of Energy, yes; various state governments, yes. But not the White House.

Looks to me like GovTech may have scrubbed all reference to the White House from its site. If so, they forgot to rewrite the NewMedia site.

I theorize that the rewrite occurred when Patrick Fitzgerald tried to acquire emails relevant to the Plame inquiry in 2004-2006.
Some of those emails were on Republican party servers, in an account labeled GWB43, offered by a service called SmartTech, which had a relationship with GovTech, owned by the recently-deceased Mike Connell. The linkage between the two (ostensibly separate) companies was first revealed to the world by this humble blog (here) and is now accepted as fact (at least by this writer).

It might be a good idea to review this two-part bio of Connell, by Todd Johnston and Luaptifer. (And here.) A few samples:
Mike Connell's New Media Communications flickered to life in 1996, providing site and software makeovers for the Illinois and Ohio state GOPs. Bootstrapped by the Republican Revolution of 1994, New Media started wiring the architects of the Contract with America for a world without Bill Clinton.

Over the next two years, Connell helped jack in the new conservative money machine by implementing web and database services for Dick Armey's (R-TX) Majority Leader's Fund, John Boehner's (R-OH) Freedom Project PAC, Lamar Alexander's (R-TN) New American Century PAC, and John Kasich's (R-OH) Pioneer PAC. Connell added Iowa and Pennsylvania to his list of state GOP clients and was chosen to design the future Internet home of the Republican National Committee.

New Media would also help accredit pseudo-intellectual newspeak with sites for David Horowitz's Center for the Study of Popular Culture and his yellow journalism tabloid FrontPageMag.com.

But 1998 saw Connell's true coming out party, when the insular Bush family tapped New Media to design Jeb.org, JebWear.com and GopWear.com for the campaign to elect George Bush's second son first, as the 43rd governor of Florida.
Alarmingly, Connell had been ushered in by fellow Ohioan Bob Ney, the former chairman of the House Committee on Administration (CHA) convicted last year for conspiring with Jack Abramoff to defraud the United States.

By the time Ney took over in 2001, the GOP had transformed the CHA into essentially a corporation that controlled a wide range of vital infrastructures and yet had virtually no Congressional oversight.

The committee had just nine members (six Republicans, three Democrats, and not one subcommittee) with jurisdiction over federal elections, House finances, procurement, auditing and compliance, human resources, public documents, and building maintenance and security for half of the Capitol Complex.

And the CHA also ran the entire House telecommunications network.
I think this suffices to give us a flavor of just how plugged in this guy was.

But his reach ran further. He knew a lot about the shady 2004 election -- and was recently called to testify about that matter:
Connell is a familiar name to readers of The BRAD BLOG as a key witness in the King-Lincoln v. Blackwell lawsuit regarding fraud in the 2004 Presidential Election in Ohio. That recently revived, long-standing lawsuit led to Connell's recent deposition on November 3, 2008, the day before this year's general election. According to plaintiff's lead attorney Cliff Arnebeck in July, a tipster had warned that Connell had been threatened by Karl Rove, as The BRAD BLOG reported at the time, in an attempt to intimidate him into "taking the fall" for Ohio election fraud not long after a motion was filed to lift the stay in that case.

Connell had been memorably described as a "high IQ Forrest Gump", by the attorneys for the plaintiffs in the Ohio fraud case, for his apparent penchant at the scene of "every single crime" from Florida 2000 to Ohio 2004 to the network firewall on a number of key Congressional committees to the case of the missing White House emails.
You can also learn more here. But before you click on that link, I gotta warn you -- keep your barf bags ready. The piece also includes some deceptive dreck about Barack Obama, "his winning personality, his family, his clarity, his honest campaign..." (Yeah. Right. "Honest." That's why I keep an ad about Obi's NAFTA lie prominently displayed on the upper right-hand side.)
As Mark Crispin Miller said: "And there was Karl Rove's abrupt decision not to try to rig the outcome, a reversal he signaled Monday evening when he suddenly foretold an electoral landslide for Obama, just hours after Mike Connell, his longtime IT fixer, had been forced to answer questions, under oath, in an Ohio courtroom."

Personally, I believe that a miracle happened...
Oh, come off it. Nothing in Connell's testimony forced Rove's hand vis-a-vis the 2008 election. The fact is, the mainstream media was in the tank for Obama all along -- and Tony Rezko, the man who made Obama, was heavily tied in to Rove and Bush. The Obots refuse to believe that simple fact of life, even though the evidence was heard at Rezko's trial. (CUT TO: Obot with hands over ears. "La la la la! I'm not hearing you!")

According to OpEd News, Connell had received threats, by Rove and by others. Unfortunately, OpEd News relies on Wayne Madsen.
Also according to Madsen's sources, Connell had to abandon three flights in the last two months because of suspicious tampering of his personal aircraft.
Well, maybe. But keep in mind that Madsen's sources in the past have included Mr. Ed, Flipper and the Lucky Charms leprechaun. If Connell truly felt that someone was tampering with his planes, he would have taken the train.

Even so, the crash is pretty damned suspicious. More to come...

Update: The following comes from Larisa Alexandrovna's blog. I've had my problem with Larisa in the past. She is capable of double-talk and self-deception (the usual prog rationalization bullshit) -- but she would not make up something like this.
I have been to Mr. Connell's home. Mr. Connell has confided that he was being threatened, something that his attorneys also told the judge in the Ohio election fraud case. When I met with Heather, his wife, I did so carefully because of the threats he was getting.

I left a note for her in her mailbox and asked her to meet me in a local park near their home. Heather came and through our conversation I got the sense that these were not bad people or corrupt people. The Connell's really believed that what they were involved in served God's plan. Regardless of of what any of us think about their religious views or allegations relating to Connell's involvement in various things, I do think these were good people who got caught up in something bigger than themselves. My heart goes out to Heather and the children.
(Hm. There's a Jan Connell in Arizona who writes about Marian apparitions. I wonder if she is related? She gets around...)

Joseph, this is a very important and sad story. Too many good people who want to do the "right thing" have met this same doom yet who happened always ends up looking like an accident.

My posts from the past explain some of my experiences from being in a family for more than 26 years who's directly involved in a huge crime system. Yet all of their murders and other murders I learned about while married all ended up as accidents. I also learned how they operate and carry out what they do which by the way was used as fodder while having dinner with the family. A really sick group of people as this is how this criminal system looks at people.

It'll take me a little time to write about how they operate and today isn't a good time to do this. I'll come back tomorrow and explain. It'll be important for anyone who wants to "do the right thing" to realize how they operate so they can remain somewhat safe. My success with remaining alive has been to following a strict path based upon what I learned while being married and with what happened to me afterwards.

Please stay tuned.... ~Tomorrow~

Normally most of us live in a safe environment. We move through our lives without worry or fear of someone purposely wanting to harm us. Those who live in high crime areas have learned what to look out for. This makes them feel safe. They may worry while out walking but usually select certain times to do so. They know its safer then during other times. So we find a way to cope even though we need to eek out a living somehow.

But what if the crime threat is more subtle? This may consist of specifically trained criminals knowledgeable in human behavior working together with others to set us up for our doom? Frankly what happens to us is that we walk into a situation that by design takes us to our doom. It ends up looking like an accident but those so called accidents that are sloppy need a little corruption care here and there to tighten it up. That’s when it’s guaranteed to look like an accident.

I’ve been dealing with such threats for more than a decade. There have been far too many attempts to harm to list or even count. However I do know of others who ended up dead. Thus far I’ve survived only because my more than 26 years in a family involved in this criminal system taught me well. It really helps to be forewarned but at the time I didn’t believe what they were telling me. It sounded more like pure insanity and fantasy. But I learned quickly after missing the first few setup car accidents. That’s when I started to recall everything I was told over the years and every day became a “Oh My God” day. No knowing leaves you to wonder what’s going on and to live in extreme fear. Knowing bring reality with explaining how extremely serious this is and you had better accept that you are a target.

To explain this isn’t easy because many of you won’t believe it. I didn’t believe it even though I was in a family who were directly involved. So how are you expected to believe it?

There are many strategies with warfare. Some are outright and there is another opposite extreme which is what this group behaves as. I call this a “Political Mafia” because it has deep roots within our Political system from the Federal area down into separate towns. The Political part of this is intriguing since they employ in large part “Mind Control” strategies along with Psychology.

They use endless schemes using mostly psychology and build profiles on their targets before doing anything. This way you cause your own doom. They don’t react but plan everything following a routine with using Micro-snooping for not less than two weeks. They employ high technology to snoop. You may find things everywhere; in your car(s), home, friends home(s), phones, office(s) and more. Or you may not find anything but are able to pick up on certain things happening after you say or do something. Over time is when you start to see too many coincidental things happening. They come in to your home anytime they want (day or night) but since they don’t want to attract any attention, they’ll do it when it’s best for them to carry out their plan. Door locks are for novices, they go right through a door lock in 10 seconds per lock. Electrical security systems don’t work as they will easily defeat them. They are very highly computer skilled more than anyone you know and even if your computer isn’t connected to the Internet they will get inside. They carry out their plans in a very subtle way and seldom ever react.

If you’re meeting new friends, be concerned about who they really are. Their interest is to get close to you and placing friends in your inner circle helps them learn something about you.

Favorite methods used that I’ve experienced of:
Accidents – Usually planned for a familiar routine. Constant changing of your routine is needed. If you’re flying your own plane, stop flying and either drive or take the train.

The Accident’s are planned to take you by surprise. With car accidents they often employ three cars. To hopefully herd you into the accident zone, they’ll employ more than three.

Poison – I’ve been poisoned many times and even though I was careful it still happened. Luckily I was able to minimize the harm done. When out in public order drinks that are in bottles that you can open yourself and carry with you. If you place a drink down and turn away from it, when you realize what you did, reorder and throw the old drink away. I personally know others who were poisoned. They employ a range of poisons that I have seen but don’t know what they are. I hate to tell you what other poisons the family said they use.

Setups to make you look like your Mentally Ill -- This seems to employ using people to report you so a case can be built against you. Over time, the case builds and eventually when they feel it’s time, out you go.

Use of Hospitals and Corruption – I have a friend who’s long term friend was murdered in one of three Hospitals used for eliminating people in the Chicago area. Their plan is to harm you so you end up in a hospital where they can finish you off. My friend’s friend was encouraged to have an un-needed procedure done and afterwards developed complications that eventually killed him. Another long story…. There are witnesses that will testify that it was murder.

Gang Stalking to produce profiles and to intimidate – Researching “Gang Staking” will surface that this has been around for hundreds of years. It’s more commonly used by wealth Elites and Corporations. In my case, they used more than 3 people at any one time.

Gang Stalking to shut down businesses – I personally witnessed this in 1996 with a clothing store. My brother-in-law at the time explained that if the family hadn’t joined the criminal system they would have shut down their business. They use all kinds of people and in one example people from a Mega Church were used.

First you need to determine if you’re a target. Since Mike Connell was scared that explains he suspected something. Without knowing how these people operate, he didn’t realize how vulnerable he was. I’m sure he had been micro-snooped for a long time and the minute he decided to do something right, that was when they took him out. They certainly had enough time to plan their move to make it look like it was an accident.

Hence, our senses should tell us if something is wrong around us. They want to move in closer so what ever we are sensing will increase to where we know definitely that we are in trouble. They are intensely watching us and if we continue at our regular pace expect to see an increase in weirdness within a few weeks. I’ve never seen them move fast or react. It’s always like it is in slow motion and if you know what to look for you can easily spot almost everything.

Accept that there isn’t any place for you to speak freely. Say little and never talk about what you know is happening to you. I’m sure Mike was discussing his experiences with his wife. His home was being monitored so they knew everything with how he felt. Their approach to micro-snooping is to know how you think. That helps them determine what you’re next step might be.

For me, when I determined that I was a target, it took a while to scale down my life style. Finally after bringing it down to practically zero, I was able to see that I had some control over my life again. This produced a self assured balance which gave me some confidence. Rather than being terrified and living in complete fear 24/7 I was able to take a little time here and there to try to heal myself. If you give and don’t regenerate, you end up with nothing to give.

Unfortunately for those reading this, you may want some examples of what was happening to me. This could make a post into a book and is why I didn’t write any.

I haven’t written much about this and don’t know what questions people may have. I’ll entertain questions however please not that I’m not able to talk about some things.
