-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.madcowprod.com/ Click Here: <A HREF="http://www.madcowprod.com/">Follow the Chad</A> ----- It has all the ingredients of a Silent Coup in some jerkwater Banana Republic... There are shadowy figures from Organized Crime rubbing elbows in Miami restaurants with "retired" CIA agents and Bay-of-Pigs-era Cubans... "Business" is conducted ever-so-discreetly, covert op style, behind the heavy velvet drapes of dummy "front" companies... And since these are rarely bloodless affairs, there's a dead body (or two or three) lying around somewhere in the background. In court, one lawyer has even called it a "sinister conspiracy," language uncharacteristically-blunt for civil proceedings. But this coup isn't just another Central American "transfer-of-power;" it involves, instead, the possible subversion of the very democratic process itself. Only this time it didn't take place in a country with a foreign-sounding name...but in the United States of America. In November. In Florida. "Tangled Webb City" Here's a brief run-down on a few of our "players:" Harold and Herb Webb are twin brothers operating election service industry companies in New Jersey. These companies, Garden State Elections and Elec-tec, were used to conceal transactions involving election services industry giant Sequoia Pacific, according to court documents, which fingered that company last week for orchestrating a 10-year long bribery scheme involving the Commissioner of Elections for Louisiana. But Harold and Herb Webb aren't even the only Webb's in this tangled scheme...Industry giant Sequoia Pacific's General Manager's name is Hugh Webb. Harold Webb, Herb Webb, and now Sequoia's Hugh Webb. Is it just a 'tangled Webb?' Or something more? "We don't know why we broke into the Watergate, honest." Herb Webb, president of a firm proven to have acted illegally on Sequoia Pacific's behalf, denied to this reporter even knowing Hugh Webb. Sequoia Pacific head honcho Hugh Webb returned the favor, denying knowing either Herb or Harold Webb... a neat trick, since Harold Webb has admitted to prosecutors that he was acting on behalf of Hugh Webb's company. Prosecutors have the ability to untangle this tangled Webb. The question is: will they? There is even another extended "family," that of Sequoia Pacific's Southern Regional Sales Manager Phil Foster, with deep connections to the bribery scheme... Phil Foster is about to be indicted in Louisiana, while his brother-in-law, David Philpot, is soon to stand trial. And then there is also James Foster, of James Foster Associates, the Texas firm which printed Florida's Republican absentee ballot applications...Remember them? The ballot applications where a voter i.d number had been "inadvertently" left off? "Follow the Chad" Sequoia Pacific operates through a number of dummy front companies. Pasquale "Rocco" Ricci's company, International Voting Machines, was really Sequoia Pacific. Harold Webb's Garden State Elections was really Sequoia Pacific. So was Herb Webb's Elec-tec. This is a list which could quickly grow much longer. Many Florida Counties involved in the Vote Snafu used tabulating machines from Sequoia Pacific disguised as being from other vendors; Sequoia actually supplied both computer and punch card systems to Florida, in counties where their name has not yet surfaced. The reason for all this elaborate deception? Clearly, some people have gone to some little trouble in an elaborate attempt to conceal Sequoia Pacific's role. Why? A reporter for the Fresno Bee interviewed Hugh Webb recently. He told us, about Webb, "I was taken aback by his secretive nature." There is a joke making the rounds just now in Southern State Capitals; like much humor it contains an uncomfortable truth that cannot yet be spoken in polite company... "The real vote snafu in Florida," goes the joke, "concerns what happened after the Sunshine State purchased used election machines from the state of Louisiana, and on those machines Edwin Edwards was elected President in a landslide." There's a hidden truth behind the sarcasm: Edwards is the convicted former Louisiana Governor, and the 'one-liner' describing this budding scandal threatening to burst out in screaming Technicolor is this: "Florida used the same (doctored) machines as Louisiana. And they came from the same 'shadowy' sources." (to be continued.) ----- Aloha, He'Ping, Om, Shalom, Salaam. Em Hotep, Peace Be, All My Relations. Omnia Bona Bonis, Adieu, Adios, Aloha. Amen.
