The Akron Beacon Journal is reporting that Mike Connell’s private plane went down in Lake Township, Ohio tonight, that Connell was killed and was the only person aboard. There are no reports of anyone on the ground being hurt, though the plane crashed in a residential neighborhood.
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 deposition on November 3, 2008, the day before the 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 the motion to lift the stay in that case.
In late September, the judge in the case agreed to lift the stay, and in late October he compelled Connell to give a deposition to plaintiff attorneys on the Monday before the Tuesday general election.
Connell had been served with a subpoena to appear in the federal court room in Ohio at the same College Park, MD airport where he reportedly left from last night on his final solo flight.
Cleaning House? Or am I just a Conspiracy Theorist. You know what they say about lying down with dogs… Interesting timing regardless.
-odd, as important as this guy is for the fraud case, you would think the major news orgs (AP, Reuter etc.) would be hardup to mention his somewhat crucial role in the voter fraud investigation..seeing as how the
Right to Vote (even though it’s not explicit) is one of the *ahem* pinnacles of our Constitution.
i can’t even find a shot of the plane wreck yet..
guess everyone is scared shitless to uphold the law when it comes to the current admin.
-even when a 4yr old can see conflicts of
interest.
what was that someone said.. “democracy is an illusion”
-check and mate. *sigh*

(ok, who’s going to be a good’ol capitalist and produce a deck of *house cleaning* cards to sell?)
See the related documentary, Stealing American: Vote by Vote.
*sigh* Yeah, every death is a conspiracy. You people sound like those loons who think every death in the Clinton administration was personally ordered by Bill and Hillary.
