cynthia mckinney and the capitol hill police incident


While out of town the past two weeks and without internet access , we were unable to comment on congresswoman cynthia mckinney's loss of her congressional seat in the recent runoff election.

mckinney was the victim of a blatant campaign of character assassination in the media that intensified following an incident in which she was alleged to have , on her way to a congressional vote , slapped a capitol hill police officer with her cell phone after he put his hands on her as she did what all members of congress are allowed to do --walk through the security check point unmolested .

wayne madsen reported at the time that capitol hill police are trained in recognition techniques and are required to recognize members of congress by face . madsen also said he had on occasion , personally witnessed capitol hill police unnecessarily harassing congresswoman mckinney while accompanying her to and from sessions of congress.

the uproar the media created over this incident was a deliberate campaign designed to silence or remove outspoken critics of the bush administration's complicity in the 9-11 attacks , its illegal , immoral defense contractor feeding frenzy that is the petro-war in iraq and the shredding of the Us constitutionally guaranteed freedoms under the guise of the phoney war on terror .

congresswoman mckinney asked rumsfeld , cheney , and bush the obvious questions the lapdog media ran from .

did the administration ignore DIRECT warnings that the 9-11 attacks were imminent ?

why did NORAD (north american air defense system ) in place for almost 5 decades of cold war , fail so miserably on 9-11 ?

was the military running wargames simulating hi-jacked aircraft crashing into the pentagon and other key buildings on the morning of the wtc attacks ?

were friends of the bush family , and friends of the bush administration , profiteering from the phoney war on terror as no-bid contract cash was being doled out hand over fist from the taxpayer's treasury by government?


for asking the real questions--questions we now know the ugly answers to , mckinney was smeared as a conspiracy nut instead of being applauded for having the courage to demand that our spineless "public servants" for once tell us the truth .

in a dumbed down , superficial nation where image is all and content is considered "boring", the content of mckinney's message was ignored and her image was assassinated and lynched by the mainstream media --jon stewart on his tv show , before a national television audience, called her "batshit insane" after attacking media filmclips and media soundbytes of cynthia mckinney underneath a banner of "diary of a mad black woman".

in the democratic primary which forced the run-off election mckinney lost , there were charges by mckinney voters that they witnessed their votes for mckinney go to her opponent --shifted by electronic voting machines that leave no paper trail confirmation of whom the vote was cast for--the same charges that plagued the 2004 national elections --elections stolen by the bush administration .

in the runoff election , cynthia mckinney received even a less percentage of votes than she did in the primary--very unusual since mckinney--because of her non-traditional political stance-- is the kind of candidate who depends solely upon a highly loyal , highly motivated voter base as her only road to office .

mckinney lost to a guy who is basically a political non-entity-- so what happened ?

was this another stolen election courtesy of diebold and company --rigged electronic voting machines made by companies owned and controled by rightwing religious zealots who believe the bill of rights to be just a piece of paper and envision an apocaplytic war of armaggedon in the middle east that signals the end of the world and the return of jesus ?

we'll have to wait and see . s--t usually floats to the top and evidence of crime is eventually revealed , but the right-wingnuts' involvement in mckinney's loss and their campaign of media assassination and lynching of her is clear as glass.

here are some interesting video clips to consider
