Breaking News - Bartcop Exclusive!

 Added by Marc Perkel

 To that end the newsmedia who has called Ben Vanderford and interviewed him have been changing his story to suit their spin
  on the issue. But unlike them - I (Marc Perkel - Computer Tyme Hosting) am a real journalist and I have provided them
  web space to tell their side of the story unedited. That way the real story can come out.

 As of this moment the FBI is trying hard to find something they can charge these kids with to save the press the embarrasment
  of having screwed up the original story. You see - if they can persecute them - then that take attention off their own coverups,
  their stupidity, and that the media is just a puppet of the Bush administration. At least - this is my spin about what is going on with this story.

 As of right now - this is the only link on the internet to their side of the story and as an advocate of free speech I have decided
  to give them a voice. I got a call early this morning after they got booted off of their previous host and I decided to give them a voice.
  They have given me the go ahead so it is now up there. And it will remain the official unedited voice of what it is they have to say.

 One of the reasons I am doing this is because I have myself been a critic of the original Nick Berg Video which was heavily
  edited and raised more questions than it resolved. In the Nick Berg video the man who is killing Berg - al-Zarqawi - has two legs
  where the real al-Zarqawi only has one. The video appears to have been filmed at Abu Ghraib Prison and Berg - who was in
  American custody is still wearing an American orange uniform. Aparently others had suspected fakery and were curious enough
  to experiment on how to fake a beheading. These kids produced a video - obviously not intended to actually deceive anyone
  - because it was the beheading of the producer of the film who was never a captive - and who's name and address appear in the film.

 Had Associated Press done ANY research at all they would have know it was fake. Here's a link to the Original video.
  Can you believe they fell for this?

 Halliburton/Cheney Investigated For Iran Deals
  This is Chop #400 on this corrupt, old tree - will it ever fall?

  Click  Here

  Excerpt:
 A Treasury Department investigation into the activities of Halliburton in Iran is looking at potentially suspicious
 business contacts between Iran's oil company and Halliburton at the time it was headed by Dick Cheney.
 According to documents dating from 1997 and 1998, a Dubai-based Halliburton subsidiary received at least a
 dozen tender offers from Kala Ltd, the wholly owned British subsidiary of the National Iranian Oil Company.

 Investigators are trying to figure out if those deals were concluded and if they violated U.S. sanctions against Tehran,
 congressional sources said. "This would be the first evidence that Halliburton was actively seeking business in Iran
 under Cheney in possible violation of U.S. laws," said Dan Katz, the chief counsel for Senator Frank Lautenberg of
 New Jersey, who obtained the documents as part of an effort to tighten U.S. sanctions against states sponsoring
 terrorism and then handed them over to the Treasury.

"Although we don't know if those deals are legal or not, the intensive contacts raise questions and OFAC
 [the Treasury Department office of foreign assets control] is looking into this closely," Katz said. Halliburton
 acknowledged in a filing to the Securities and Exchange Commission in February that OFAC recently had
 requested new information about the activities in Iran of one of its unit, Halliburton Services and Products,
 which is incorporated in the Cayman Islands and based in Dubai.
 

 People have been talking for years and years about Cheney's illegal oil deals with Iraq and Iran.
  Begala and Carville rarely go an entire show without mentioning something like this, and after all
  these years, someone finally decides to actually look into the BFEE's continuous global crime spree?

"I have one thing to say to those who think Alan Keyes' candidacy is a good thing:
  In the words of Malcolm X, you are being "hoodwinked, bamboozled and led astray."
  The reality is, GOP state central committee members pulled a frat-boy stunt designed
  to split the black vote, and to stop Republicans from crossing the line to vote for Obama.
  As the old folks would say, in this race, Keyes would be merely carrying white folks' water."

 Traces of the Prozac have been found in Britain's drinking water supply, setting off

 The Observer newspaper said Sunday that a report by the government's environment
 watchdog found Prozac was building up in river systems and groundwater used for drinking supplies.

 Prescription of anti-depressants has surged in Britain. In the decade up to 2001,
 prescriptions of antidepressants rose from 9 million to 24 million a year, the paper said.

"Time Warner Inc. chairman Dick Parsons Friday described Fox News Channel as

  he felt that the channel and his own Cable News Network are two different services.
  When asked why CNN was losing the ratings battle with Fox, he was not ready to
  concede that. He said that Fox was more like talk radio on TV, which meant that its
  viewers stayed longer because people tended to "come and sit down for an hour or two
  and listen to crazy people exchange views." CNN actually draws more viewers, he said.

 Cruise's 'Collateral' lays an egg at Box Office

  Excerpt:
 Cruises's first outing as a villain, in "Collateral," made off with a middling $24.4 million
 during its first three days at the North American box office, causing crirics to chortle.

 The opening is the second-smallest No. 1 debut this summer. The smallest was the
"Fahrenheit 9/11," which earned $23.9 million on many fewer screens.

 Last weekend's champion, Shaymalanga Ding Dong's "The Village," fell to No. 2 with
 $16.6 million, as bad word-of-mouth saw the film lose 2/3 of its audience from last weekend.

 America goes Home Forecloser Crazy

  Click  Here

  Excerpt:
 Homeowner associations have boomed over the last three decades, largely
 because of fewer services provided by cash-strapped local governments and
 consumers who want rules to govern their neighbors' aesthetic tastes.

 Like California, associations in Florida, Texas, Arizona and Nevada all have authority
 to ultimately collect their members' unpaid assessments by selling their homes.  Combined,
 the five states have more than half the nation's supply of association-governed housing.

 In Las Vegas, Judi Burns lost her $130,000 home when a judge upheld her association's
 March 2000 foreclosure sale over unpaid dues of $300. In Arizona, Evelyn Lyles nearly
 lost her home over $393 in unpaid monthly assessments. An anonymous donor paid when
 media accounts of the pending foreclosure described her battle with breast cancer.

 Hi Bart,
 Got some (hopefully constructive) criticism for you on show 49.

 I love hearing the Big Dog speak - that's why I watched him on TV and listened on Air America
 and watched video on the DNC website. I think that most people who read BartCop are pro-active
 type-A politicos, let alone subscribers, such that, we have probably listened to all the speeches and/or
 seen them on the web. We're seeking that stuff out.

 Therefore, it's a waste of valuable BartCop radio time to just replay the stuff.

 If you did your BartCop Radio thing of interrupting and commenting and whatnot - that'd be added value,
 but I really don't need to hear Clinton's speech again all by itself. Some of the stuff is just so good that
 everybody needs to hear it, but you gotta add value for the substantial part of your audience that has already heard it.

 Thanks,
 Matt in Berkeley
 

 Matt, I hear that.

 But I, BartCop, with no job, few distractions and being a semi-professional at framing political events,
 failed to catch Howard Dean, ...most of Teddy K ...and much of Barack Obama. I missed the whole
 Kerry/hamster story, and I'm surprised the vulgar Pigboy didn't make more of it.

 Maybe Rush has a "soft spot" for hamsters from his Crisco days with Bob Dornan and Slappy Thomas?
 So, that tells me that it's possible that many serious politicos like myself would hate to have missed BIG DOG.
 I considered it a time capsule duty to put that in there.

 Remember, in the summer of 2000, we had no audio capacity, so early mistakes might be made in our audio infancy,
 but considering that the fulcrum of history will dangle in the next 90 days, I gambled it was a good move to include
 truncated, but best-of snippets of the best orators we had on our side that last week of July 2004, right before
 Democracy was killed by the failure of the liberals to bother getting off their asses and vote..

  Excerpt:
 An ex-convict who blamed a young woman for taking his video game system
 and clothes recruited three teenagers to stab and beat the six to death, police say.

 The killers were armed with aluminum bats when Victorino kicked in the locked front door,
 according to arrest records. The group, who wore black clothes and had scarves on their faces,
 grabbed knives inside and attacked victims in different rooms of the three-bedroom house.

 The victims, some of whom were sleeping, did not put up a fight or try to escape, Johnson said.
 All had been stabbed, but autopsies determined the cause of death was the beating injuries.
 

 A baby Glock trumps a room full of scumbags armed with baseball bats.
  The sound of the first shot will turn crazed killers into scared bunnies.

 Subject: Kerry train blew us by at 1 a.m., Edwards flies right back!

 Bart:

 A revealing incident in my little town.
 The Kerry train left Kansas City and headed west, no plan to stop in the red state of Kansas.
 40 miles west, we heard a crowd was gathering here in Lawrence, and the train might stop, around 11:30 p.m.

 We went down to the station, and the crowd grew to about 2,000.  Police came and told us the Kerry train
 now wouldn't be here till almost 1 a.m.  Most folks left.

 An hour later, half the crowd was back, a thousand people at a small town train station, lining the platform,
 sitting on locomotives, and overflowing into the other side of the tracks.  And finally the train came through,
 the majestic blue engine, flag waving... the old historic train cars... they all zoomed right on past the station
 and into the darkness of the Kansas plains.  Kerry ran out and waved from the back of the train for about
 two visible camera flashes, a tiny distant figure in the blackness, and it was over.  Everybody shrugged and went home.

 Until the people on the train figured out what happened.  They simply didn't know we were going to be there.
 No plan had been made for a stop, and a bunch of very tired people had settled in for a long ride when they
 suddenly heard a cheering mob blurring by, and then darkness again.

 So you know what?
 The Edwards family came right back from Colorado, to meet with the folks in Lawrence, even though our vote will not count.
  They reserved a park, and when it rained, they found a place inside.

 Edwards backtracks to Lawrence

 Koko Seeks Dental Help Using Sign Language
   More articulate than the never-elected Governor

..

  Click  Here

  Excerpt:
 When Koko the gorilla used the American Sign Language gesture for pain and pointed
 to her mouth, 12 specialists, including three dentists, sprang into action.

 The result? Her first full medical examination in about 20 years, an extracted tooth
 and a clean bill of health.

 About a month ago, Koko, a 300-plus-pound ape who became famous for mastering more
 than 1,000 signs, began telling her handlers at the Gorilla Foundation in Woodside she was in pain.
 They quickly constructed a pain chart, offering Koko a scale from one to 10.

 When Koko started pointing to nine or 10 too often, a dental appointment was made. And because
 anesthesia would be involved, her handlers  used the opportunity to give Koko a head-to-toe exam.

 "She's quite articulate," volunteer Johnpaul Slater said. "She'll tell us how bad she's feeling, how bad
 the pain is. It looked like it was time to do something."

 Subject: Who Registered the Swiftboats website that is calling Kerry a liar?

 Hey Bartcop,

 I uncovered something interesting researching the www.swiftvets.com website. I wanted to find out
 what "veteran" registered the site and when. From a WhoIs search, I found that the domain was registered
 by a group in Alexandria, Va. It was registered April 14th of 2004, when it was clear that Kerry was going
 to be the nominee. Somehow, Alexandria, Va doesn't strike me as being as being outside the beltway.

 I would bet that it was the BFEE that registered it then when his polls were still spiraling downward and
 their need to "define" John Kerry and that they sought out "veterans against Kerry" after the fact.

 Someone else, by the name of Mark Spear, registered all the other domain suffixes of .org, .net, .info, and .us, and .biz.
 He registered them on August 3rd which is probably when the swifvets.com first started their slander campaign. I am
 guessing he did that to preempt other rabid republicans from jumping on that bandwagon.  I say that because it is
 exactly what motivated me to see if the other domain names were left and who registered the .com address.

 Here are the WhoIs results for the swiftvets.com registrant:

 Subject: Bush said something I agree with

 Bush said "Our enemies never stop thinking about new ways
 to harm our country and our people, and neither do we."

 Bush is more right than he thinks. Apparently his idea of winning the "war on terror" is to do
 more damage to this country than the terrorists are doing - and in that frame of reference he is
 definitely winning. Clearly no terrorist could have done the kind of damage to America that Bush
 has done in the four years since he stole the election. Sometimes I think the reason that the terrorists
 haven't attacked again is because they can just sit back and watch Bush destroy America.
 If I were a terrorist - I wouldn't want to do anything that would interfere with Bush's reelection.

 Marc Perkel

 Good point, which leads to another good point.
  Pretty much everyone agrees that in the event of another massive, dealy attack, the nation will rally around Bush.

 Doesn't that mean that fs there IS an attack, it proves Al Qaeda wants the idiot elected because he's so stupid
  and predictable, they can make him dto anything they want him to - like invade an innocent Arab country?

 Without a doubt, Bush is Al Qaeda's top recruiter.

 BIG DOG on Jon Stewart tonight.

 I wonder how Jon's looking at this?
 It's easily the biggest interview, the biggest start he's ever had.
 Will it be good?  Or will they cancel each other out?

 Shirley, Jon will scrap his regular format, like Dave did last week.  I don't think anyone wants
 to hear Jon tell our greatest president ever, "Gee, we're out of time," because Rob Cuddroy,
 who I like, had a skit prepared on the tricky grey squirrels in his back yard - know what I mean?
 I'm setting expectations low, and hoping to be surprised.

 But more than anyone else I can think of, Bill could have his greatest interview ever with Jon Stewart.
 They should do a 90 minute thing for a DVD release for African AIDS or whatever charity Bill likes.
 Clinton is the best ever interview, because all you have to say is, "Really? In what way?" and there he goes.

 That's TONIGHT - Comedy Channel 11 PM EST and Tuesday 9 or 10 AM it repeats.

  Did Bill Gates buy TV Guide and have his tech boys give it the "XP" treatment?

 For some reason, they completely did away with all programming info after 10 PM CST.
  The damn TV Guide stops at 9:45 Wednesday, then picks up again at 6 PM Thursday.
  That's twenty hours of programming, over 80 percent of the day, that's just missing.

 Is this information hidden somewhere in the back pages?
  If so, where is it?

 I assume your TV Guide has this problem, too, right?
  Does anyone have an explantion for this?
