that afternoon and said it is investigating this company and sort of putting a putting the brakes on what's going on there actually reading letters of recommendation for that company wrecked yang correct and saying that you're removed correct finis fingerprints are over this now yes literal fingerprints literal fingerprints i mean read the public record read the public record i don't want anyone to take my word for anything brad get the documents and read the record and when you read a memo. from nelsonville secretary to him stating that mr feeney wants this letter signed today and this letter is a recommendation for yang enterprises and the following day after mr hill executes this letter of recommendation he has suddenly promoted to deputy cia for the state technology office nelson hill is promoted the day after he writes this letter

a letter of recommendation for yang enterprises have they had any problems with you prior to this investigation i believe in january of two thousand and one i received an outstanding evaluation that went into a lot of detail as to the value of my services to the department how long had you been with the department i began with a client like an eighty eight eighty eight yes i've been with the department for almost fifteen years at this point yes the department did a. and agents think cleansing any corporate knowledge concerning the problems with the yang contract how many people were fired and half a dozen other. than clinton i thought to anybody who was involved with the ng contractors now originally it was going on correct in fact on her they tried to get her to sign a little paper saying she resigned she said she's trying to resign when she can't people wanted were said you're fired so when it went to court when they said well

she resigned voluntarily we didn't do anything about it she can produce the papers knowing that they're just flat out lying she for whistleblowers yes and she won the case she wanted to get in two thousand and four the florida department of transportation's audit of yang enterprises found eight hundred fifty thousand dollars in question and qualified costs that amount yang was asked to repay one hundred thirty two thousand pending further investigation. hello phoenix we've got a huge show for you today the bold whistleblower steven heller in his first live broadcast interview steve heller had been working as a temp at the los angeles law firm jones day and he came across some disturbing memphis. i believe in my heart even though i am quite admitted it to myself as soon as i saw them those documents i think i knew i was going to eventually release the

boys people who are jones they went to court to try to stop the publication of those documents i believe it was their law firm that tried to stop the paper from publishing them but the judge very wisely ruled that once it's been published it's out there and he's not going to force them to withdraw the publication then there was a raid at your house seven am in the in the morning some time after the release of this information they had a felony search warrant they searched the house thoroughly and they confiscated our computers my wife's and my computers our cell phones my address book other various papers our stammer and they picked up a lot of stuff but they didn't charge me at that time when were you then finally arrested and charged with these felony three felony counts i was charged in february of two thousand and six you can't really talk about what those documents were that you there never had that right that's true brad those documents were attorney client privilege information and that's why i got arrested in the first place and even now if i were to talk about the content i could be at risk of getting myself in trouble again all right can i talk about the content you can say anything you want i will all right do you bold was asking legal advice about having

secretly installed uncertified software on voting machines to be used in the two thousand and four california election it was a clear violation of the law and you have to understand i grew up during vietnam and watergate and my first thought was i got to get these to the press because the press is the fourth estate the great watchdog but then i realized like i said a moment ago no one in america in the press was covering this issue i started reading the only people mammals which had been round or everywhere the internet with a certain point of time i realize it has to live in america i knew already that the f.e.c. rules should not be there and i don't say well that would be a problem because the memory caught is propriety as it were no it's not i've seen this guy before he actually went on immediately i wrote. the bold and god in written response saying this memory cards appropriated technology by dbo to snatch away a little from anywhere else so people told him in

a letter that well i actually saw a letter so i was to know that you know i have almost photographic memory i know i have seen this guy before actually two weeks to figure out what a memory card was and then it all the sudden the time and instead planned the old machine the optional first patent ever made up a laptop computer by ten the tatty this is the memory unit it's a up some memory card doubt that's from the patent i got some memory now i know who you are. so after i knew what it is that i spent hundred thirty box i got the reader because of its design the deep old touch screen machine proved vulnerable to a twenty year old hack the old bootloader there's nothing worse than bootloader hack honestly i haven't seen this kind of things to happen in twenty years and this you can do you confirm this this is an on the deep old. sex machine

this is confirmed by me and proof of concept were for going by princeton university so you have independent verification for my findings in two thousand and six a princeton university professor and two graduate students confirmed what harry hursti had already proven they posted their demonstration on youtube hacking the de bold touch screen machine in less than one minute's time they inserted a vote flipping virus that changed vote tallies would spread to other machines and flipping alexion without leaving a trace you would hope that they didn't steal the last election but you know if they did. i guess the outcome would have been completely different if we had a different president the war in iraq probably wouldn't have happened most likely that's the biggest impact i think this is a national security issue that is correct. it's enough why is there a national security issue of cost more to raise and being that you actually side for or who are going to make

a detour so as for the future i mean everything to do with it well things are additional security level issues in all the countries not only in the u.s. one of the good alex super wiser of the second column and who is responsible in office for i see the security came to me as a i don't understand what do you guys do what is this big fuss about this you know these messy when you have of course they can be hacked we're not calling here real things like not according to a report in rolling stone magazine jacki vermont's lobbying firm greenberg traurig was paid two hundred seventy five thousand dollars by deep old just before the passage of the help america vote act or hava of two thousand and two. took the author of hava congressman bob ney on a lavish golfing trip to scotland aber mom and ne have since been convicted of felonies relating to these matters and are currently serving time in prison bob ney is a felon and currently can't vote in the state of ohio yet we're stuck with this bill

this whole mess began her latest chapter begins with this help america vote act three point eight billion dollars federal act has now put these machines out all over the map with little or no oversight. we have to fix this. not for us sakes alone while the united states of america but also for the global sake because otherwise these will just keep on spreading they're picking up our technology the things that we're doing. actually u.s. companies trying to sell it very agra civil if you are a number of places where democracy hasn't been very strongly go i mean yes and this is selling to hungary this is selling to england it's also a number of the many factors are using different names when it is the say so sell their matches globally is that at the heart of this this privatization of our public election system i think so and i think it's

a horrible idea i just can't understand why anyone would think that in the united states it's a good idea to let a private corporation run our elections for us in secret using she quit machines and secret software that's insanity i think the last election was not all that is for sure and now there's some question of those voting machines and. the. people that own. their own vice mostly i heard friends of the team in an infamous fund raising letter to supporters in the summer of two thousand and three the old c.e.o. wally odell promised to deliver ohio's electoral votes to george w. bush friendly gesture the simply assume that we don't steal votes in the united states is patently absurd in mahoning county where youngstown is located and this is verified by the board of elections themselves. twenty to thirty touch screen voting machines recorded votes for candidates opposed to those selected by

the voters always jumping from democrat to republican i can think of no other way this could have happened except this that these touch screen machines were programmed to default to candidate bush. and if you did not override the default choice of that computer you would be voting for bush as for investigating the two thousand and four presidential election in ohio despite a court order fifty six out of eighty eight ohio counties destroyed some or all of their ballots from that election that's like it's like an ice cream organized crime people in their own home stay organized crime our guys crime has got still a million dollars but they steal as they steal a little every day and i think that's what the republicans understand is that if you don't get too greedy and mean you know you still some votes are warren county is still some votes in claremont county you have some computer glitch problem here

and there suddenly you've got your votes that's why you have to have checks and balances you have to have full transparency he thing here is if we want to immediately increase the level of security you will start by releasing these absentee ballots because even in the state of cali forni on average in basically every column to thirty percent of the voters are ups and keyes you have a very solid evidence if the rest of the bunch doesn't fall into say you're wrong or you're saying release those things already right now we're already scanning them with the optical scanners if they have the image at least those images and see if these doesn't really need more new legislation you're going to start doing it right now how would one keep this from happening the ability to steal an election nonproprietary source code nonproprietary hardware because you can hide it in hardware. brain attacks in my mind silver bullet means a solution where you don't have to trust anyone you kind of very far i. that the

vote you cast was recorded accurately you can verify that your vote was counted and you can verify that your vote was part of the total so you can access every single turning point every single process point of the election pros and see that my both going through there so if we have to count the paper to be absolutely sure about the machine count anyway then why don't we need the machines for in the first place it's a tool it's not a god it's a tool now i'm fired i apply for jobs you know programmer but at nasa work with exxon mobile right he can't find a job anywhere and stocking shelves of the dollar store. really. so i think i'm not getting a real good recommendation from yang in the o.t. so now you are going to the dollar store going to dollar store stocking shelves and

let me shows up remember just comes in some time and he's staring at me over the top of these little you know a paycheck i told him i walk around like i help you know he said no i'm just shop and he leaves and then he comes in again and tells me he's been working on the case on the side he's looking into this on his own on his own for fun i don't know why i was going to do with this information if you can if he's going to use it i guess if he gets enough of it you think you can pop it somewhere i don't know so he keeps comin in and ask me questions about the rigging and spies and i don't know so what he wants or i just answer whatever he asked this was a big case that he was making headway on it was an official case because officially he was going to do nothing because feeney would let him do anything so i give him information but he didn't give a lot back clanton to katie to me that reva amy had told him that it was not baker . that what he was investigating was not bigger and went higher consider this to

you clint said that when he sent over the top who do you think it was who was the top i was thinking bush i don't know whether jeb bush or whether went farther than them from finis conversation but he thought he was right with bush feeney said that he had it with bush both george and jack so let me says to you it was all worth it . and i feel great a couple weeks and i'll be thrilled with the results so you would a couple weeks and he turned up dead in a georgia motel room. i was scifi with. she was the bull. and i first thought was they killed him how did you feel good. you feel guilty if i hadn't brought it to him then. he would have got involved what was

a dose of death he said suicide but they don't do autopsies in georgia and in florida it's an automatic autopsy i mean if you if a suicide occurred in florida it would be an automatic and it's not an automatic out suicide in georgia not mandatory not mandatory right it had to have occurred had he been killed and. not going to kill my speculation is he offended somebody and he. usually got killed yes. because the hotel he was that is this real secluded you know tree lines on both sides a little shabby twenty three dollar a night hotel you know if you wanted to kill yourself. i don't stop somewhere in florida he was we're going to tallahassee florida is going to tell athletes oh here we're in tell them there's valdosta which is just our half away our half way is sort of a border town in georgia and i thought always there are

a lot of hotels you could stop at georgia prior to getting about the whole thing just wrong there's a report that he called into d.o.t. at six forty five in the morning and yet they have him killing himself thirty eight minutes later even though it's another hour to get the belt off that supposedly he's in the motel room one night but there's two receipts. in the police report it says one is a check and receipt there's a check got a receipt he killed himself he didn't check out well have you not checked you know motel room where they charge you up front you know if they check you in and take you at the same time on different days. when they do it yeah there's another problem that i first received is dated june twenty ninth two thousand and three he was in tallahassee time and he was three he didn't he says when i could buy and she says and so june thirtieth. two thousand and three so fifteen who's in the room and june twenty ninth in the hotel room they found a blank with

a legal pad ok and an empty file folder and every time he'd come talk to me he had his little yellow pad his old file folder full of papers are you suggesting that the papers are gone yes and you suggested that somebody took those papers would you take a. legal pad in a wooden elevator to a suicide when he wanted to have. his rights a suicide note the notes weird too because he didn't talk about his daughter and the daughter was just about to be married and he mentioned his wife by name he has one child a daughter daughter he does not mention her there's not mention her but every time we talked at the dollar store part of the conversation with you know how your daughter she could get married you know doesn't mention her in a suicide note mentions is why did he sign a suicide note inside if he put it kindly money. the police say they took photographs would do to

a failure in the camera's flash memory there would be no photographs we've recently seen that there are in fact photographs that conflict the police report do conflict the police report. the valdosta police report alleged there was no blood on the towel and no visible trauma to the body the photographs of raymond lemmy. seem to suggest otherwise. and valdosta police have confirmed that these photographs are real and that due to interest on the internet in december of two thousand and four they reopened the case for him and let me also around that time they spoke with someone at the florida department of transportation and that they closed the case shortly thereafter now they won't tell me who it is they talked to at the ford department transportation. they told me over and over and over that they were not stonewalling me from there and they didn't call me back ever again and i remember

they're involved hasta georgia. so what the hell does the florida department of transportation have to do with an investigation that they're doing at a georgia police department so the fact that a call from someone at off top would lead to shutting down the investigation in georgia you know i don't know if there's anything sinister there or not but it sure doesn't smell right six weeks after let me died tom feeney went golfing at st andrews in scotland he was the special guest super lobbyist jack april off after let me turned up dead and things were not moving along very well i went ahead wrote a book and put it out there i had even published the book and i get this e-mail but it says something about like they know about the book you know don't be alone are you worried about. somebody taking your life it's wrong you have to do the right

thing no matter what a couple inches doing this to sell books making this a range of claims no longer outrageous it's most of it's already been proven well nonetheless i think you found most of the group. when this story broke publicly did anybody do the media break down your door to try to figure out what the hell was going on here and reference to the voting you're the only person who may have contacted me c.n.n. never called a.p. now sixty minutes now. major wins from

the year has not touched this affidavit story which is the heart of what we're looking. at is soon there for a i mean even if they didn't dan rather that's pretty impressive so. how safe do you feel compared to dan rather this thing matters and i don't care which side of the political spectrum you're on i say frequently when i speak this is not about left and right this is about right and wrong if we can't have confidence in our democracy in america in the world's greatest democracy if we can have confidence and i mean both the winners and the losers. then what kind of example are we setting for the rest of the world why the hell are we sending people out all around the world to fight and die and presumably spread democracy if we don't even have it here we have become known to an ethical behavior our our lives are very difficult we're claiming our entire middle

class by our fingernails we who the american people when you have that five minutes that you can be home and close the door and have some peace it's fairy very difficult to say look what you're doing tonight that you're the center of a very explosive story where people have died i don't know if it was murder suicide it probably wasn't so as i think wasn't suicide. that's not funny but i've never had this feeling. that there's no place to turn. normally you have the media you go to the greatest christmas become furious at least parts of it and that's. where you go to you congressman. but nobody so used to hear the proximately eighty percent of the votes in the united states of america are counted by di both were e.s.p.n.'s in his continuing effort to demand

accountability and to publicize his story when curtis ran for congress against tom feeney in two thousand and six feeney refused to debate curtis and outspent him by a factor of twenty six to one there's was one of four congressional races in florida that were contested in two thousand and six prompting florida's new republican governor and a republican legislature to mandate that they would vote on paper ballots in the two thousand and eight election where curtis will run again against tom feeney maybe as george allen's spent years in the courts fighting both yang's and after ultimately she was reinstated with full back pay and awarded a large settlement from the florida department of transportation. in august two thousand and seven deeble changed its name to premier election solutions inc i think what quinn curtis is is really an object lesson in what can go

wrong and how easily it can go wrong in fact we don't know if his software and his code was ever used in any software but the fact that we're not able to look at the software that is used to count our votes was secret software that is used to count to count votes in america the world's greatest democracy is frankly a scandal and we all should be very concerned about. an
