"Commander 'N Thief"- Explosive new documentary presents evidence of fraud in 2004 election

Explosive New Documentary Presents Evidence of Fraud in 2004 Ohio Presidential Election

Investigative journalist Greg Palast, author of the current best-selling Armed Madhouse and of The Best Democracy Money Can Buy, introduces the documentary and also provides staggering information in the body of the film about the RNC's purposeful and targeted strategies for disenfranchising millions of minority voters across the United States, including African-American soldiers serving in Iraq

appearing include Congressman John Conyers, Jr.; attorneys Cliff Arnebeck, John Bonifaz, Robert Fitrakis, Joseph Geller, Peter Peckarsky and Susan Truitt; President/CEO of Common Cause Chellie Pingree; computer science expert Professor Avi Rubin of Johns Hopkins and Richard Hayes Phillips, Ph.D., the leading public-advocacy investigator of voting fraud in the 2004 Ohio presidential election; statistical expert Professor Steven Freeman, Ph.D. of the University of Pennsylvania; consumer advocate against electronic voting Bev Harris; Franklin County, Ohio Director of Elections Matthew Damschroeder; and Ohio poll workers, concerned citizens, and community activists.

In addition to the RNC's nationwide campaign to disenfranchise American citizens from targeted minority groups, several other clearly fraudulent activities are identified: 3,600,780 votes were cast for president but never counted; in Ohio, forensic evidence has been uncovered of ballot switching in selected rural precincts and of double punched ballots used to invalidate legitimate votes in specific urban precincts; and there is strong statistical evidence that as many as five million votes nationally were shifted, subtracting five million votes from Kerry and adding five million votes to Bush to produce a swing of up to ten million votes in the officially reported result.

The outcome of this series of sickening schemes is that the wrong candidate was sworn in as President of the United States. The evidence presented in this documentary, "Commander 'N Thief," should be seen as a warning that our democracy is now in peril and that ordinary citizens must act quickly and forcefully to restore honesty, transparency and verifiability to the American electoral system.

23. Andy
This is Tom O'Brien, Commander 'N Thief is my documentary.

I would like to get Andy's family a copy of the documentary. I didn't know Andy well, I only met him twice, but his passion and commitment was so strong and so clear. He stayed late after a long day at the elections convention in Nashville, though he didn't feel all that well, to do that interview, because he felt so strongly about getting the word out.

If anyone knows how to reach any family of his please e-mail me from the Commander 'N Thief web site, I'd appreciate it. http://www.commander-n-thief.com

Thank you all for your supportive comments and keep up the fight.

Take Care,
Tom O'Brien

13. Thank for that link.
the early one implied that it was only available for movie house screening (so far). But this one led to a DVD purchase site, and I just did so. ($18.80 total price)

5. Looks like an excellent DVD! Here's another excellent one:
Stealing America Vote by Vote. This DVD was shown as part of the tour that Steven Freeman and others took across the country this spring and maybe are still taking. I ordered 6 copies to pass out and send to people who might gain by taking a look at it. If you order, it's $5 per DVD, but it's not quite ready for prime-time since they're still fact-checking and confirming credits and adding to the credits. They don't want you to copy it.

Here's the address in case you want to order this one, which also includes most of the figures above and others, including a very persuasive segment about Clint Curtis:

Concentric Media
PO Box 1414
Menlo Park CA 94026

If you order 10 of the DVDs at this address, you will get 2 free, a total of 12 for the same price ($50). The shipping/handling is $10.

I've previewed this film with some friends and it is indeed excellent, very well organized and powerful in its re-creation of the events of the 04 election, especially in OH. The music score, however, is not quite as snappy as the one on the trailer of the DVD being discussed on this thread.

If you order as per the above, you might consider a small contribution to help the media site.

9. A couple more documentaries coming out for Clint Curtis...
Edited on Sun Apr-08-07 08:17 PM by calipendence
"Truth in the Booth: The Clint Curtis Story" is now avaialable on DVD and has interviews with our Brad Friedman here on it.

View the trailer here:

http://truthinthebooth.com/

and order a DVD from Clint Curtis's site here:

http://www.clintcurtis.com/dvd.asp

There's another documentary that is now showing in theaters and other private showings and I can't find yet on DVD that Patty Sharaf has made caled "Murder? Spies & Voting Lies - The Clint Curtis Story". I've not had a chance to see it yet, but I've talked to Ms. Sharaf about it when talking to her about "Citizen Stan", a documentary she has out on Link TV now about Stanley Sheinbaum, a man who I have a lot of personal interest in and found out what may be some mysteries of my own past that might intertwine with his from the 60's. She's really a great lady and had done a fine job with Citizen Stan which I also encourage you to get at:

http://www.citizenstan.com/

To get her new film on Clint Curtis on DVD or to find out how you might want to see it at a theatrical showing go to the following page notes that you should check back to Clint Curtis's site later when it comes out on DVD to get it there.

10. Let's hope THIS one wins an Emmy too...and gets some bloody attention!
This story has been SO buried and SO ignored by the M$M whores; KO seems to be the ONLY one who has so much as mentioned it as more than a tin-foil-hat item to be ridiculed.

Of COURSE they stole the election; of COURSE John Kerry should have been President in 2004, except that Al Gore might have won re-election since HE really won in 2000.

Lies, fraud, corruption, theft...it's all the rePiglicans have to work with; God knows they've got nothing else.

16. We've known this since Mark Crispin Miller put alot of info together
in his book, Fooled Again: How the Right Stole the 2004 Election & Why They'll Steal the Next One Too (Unless We Stop Them)

Ordered the DVD.

This Dem Congress had better do something fast.

17. Looking for footage...
Wow. This sounds impressive. I am a graduate student doing research on the topic of "Election Justice". I am trying desperately to find footage of Keith Olberman shows from October & November of 2004. MSNBC wants a fortune -- their archivist even recommended I look elsewhere but so far, they seem to be the only source. Anyone have ideas (or some tape in any format?).
Thanks.
