you know you're watching r.t. the headlines now redefining the boundaries of journalism extraordinary strikes back with a new show promising it's a shining light on the right one touched by the mass media. syrian opposition shows its multiple places as anti regime rallies see every move the gun fight not necessarily thank you slogans for change. waterboarding stress positions and degradation secret memo shows the u.s. was warned against using cruel interrogation techniques branding them crimes.

coming up next our special report on how george w. bush's election to president wanted suspicions that eighty vote counting tricks in fact in the states they had electronic voting the numbers didn't match at all with the exit polling. but in states where they had paper well you know examples and the final result. almost perfect i have no doubt john kerry won the election in ohio ok no john kerry won the election in ohio john kerry would be brothers of certainty to say that those exit polls were so far off. just didn't happen something else happened so the yang folks are harassing maybe are getting d.o.t. to harass me with a plan is fired at ten in the morning i'm tired at like two thirty that afternoon and said it was investigating this company instead of putting it putting the brakes on what's going on they're actually writing letters of recommendation for that

company wrecked yang correct and saying that you're removed correct tom feeney fingerprints are all 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 we have records 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 his letter of recommendation he is suddenly promoted to deputy cia for the state technology office and nelson hill is promoted yesterday after he writes this letter a letter of recommendation for gang 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 that approach and how long had you been with the department i began with a department in eighty eight eighty eight yes i mean i've been with the department far almost fifteen years at this point yes the department did a. and agents think cleansing any corporate knowledge concerning the problems with the ng contract how many people were fired and half a dozen other. than clinton i thought so anybody who was involved with the yank on court has no originally is now right on correct in fact on her they tried to get her to sign a little paper saying he resigned sun she's going to resign when she kept to the one or 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 could produce

a paper something that they're just flat out lying she for whistleblowers and she won the case he wanted 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 up 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 steve in the hell are in his first live broadcast interview with steve heller had been working as a temp at the old los angeles law firm jones day and he came across some disturbing memphis fun. i believe in my heart even though i hadn't quite admitted it to myself as soon as i saw them those documents i think i knew i was going to eventually released them but most 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 of the various papers our scanner i took 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 know president 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 comments and you can say anything you want i will all right steve bould 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 a 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 whatever where the internet but a certain point of time i realized it has to live in america i knew already the case the f.e.c. rules it should not be there and i don't say well that would be a problem because memory card is proprietor it is that we know it's all i've seen this guy before he actually went on immediately i wrote. the old guard in written response saying this memory cards appropriated technology by dbo the snow away a little from anywhere else so people told him in a letter that well i actually saw a letter so i said no. you know i have almost photographic memory i know i have

seen this guy before they actually did it to me two weeks to figure out what a memory card was and then it all a sudden click the time and instead found your own machine and the optional first part of ever made a whole lot of computer taddy and this is the memory unit it's absolute memory cut that out that's from the patent i got the name at some american now i know who you are. so after i knew what it is i spend hundreds of thirty bucks i got a reader because of its design the deep old touch screen machine proved vulnerable to a twenty year old hack he old bootloader hack and there's nothing worse than. honestly i haven't seen this kind of things to happen in twenty years this you can do you confirm this this isn't on the deep old this is called a sex machine this is confirmed by me and prove cause a preferred by princeton universe and so you have independent verification for my

father 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 deeble 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 flip it alexion without leaving a trace it would hold pay 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 those corrupt. it's enough why is it a national security issue of cost to raise and being that you actually decide for or who are going to make a difference is for the future i mean everything to do with the well things are additional security level issues in all the conferees not only in the u.s.

one of the good elex disappear was sort of his second call mind who was responsible in office for i see on the security came to me and say i don't understand what are you guys up to what is this big fuss about this you know these messages from the hack of course they can be hacked we're not calling here real things like not according to a report in rolling stone magazine jackie promotes lobbying firm greenberg traurig was paid two hundred seventy five thousand dollars by deed poll 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 both aber my office and they 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 early as 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 all the united states of america but also because otherwise these will just keep on spreading their picking of our technology the things that we're doing very well actually u.s. companies trying to sell it very agra civil if you are up to number of places where democracy hasn't been very strongly go i mean e.s.p.n.'s is selling to hungary and this is so in finland 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 secret machines and seek with software that's insanity i think the last election was not over for sure and now there's some question of those voting machines and. we were bent on. their own by mostly our friends the extreme in an infamous fund raising letter to supporters in the summer of two thousand and three deep old c.e.o. wally odell promised to deliver ohio's electoral votes to george w. bush friendly gesture to 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 like organized crime organized crime people in their own understand organized crime our guys crime has got still a million dollars what they steal is they still a little every day and i think that's what the republicans understand is that if you don't get too greedy anyway you know you still some votes in warren county is still some votes in claremont county you have some computer glitch problem here and there suddenly capture votes that's why you have to have checks and balances you

have to have full transparency here thing here is before you want to you need italy increase the level of security you will start by releasing these absentee ballots because in the state of cali forni on average in basically every county thirty percent of the voters are absent please you have a very solid evidence if the rest of the bunch doesn't fall in the same or you say release those things already right now we're already scanning them with the optical scanners if they have the image at least those images i don't see as these doesn't really need more you look at a place near to start doing right now how would one keep this from happening the bill would be to steal an election nonproprietary source code nonproprietary hardware because you can hide in the hardware. brain in texas in my mind silver bullet means a soul and where you don't have to trust anyone you can a very far. that the

vote you cast was recorded accurately you can verify that your vote was counted and you can verify that your vote was thought of the total so you can access every single turning point every single rosa's point of the election pros and see that my vote is going through there so we have to count the paper to be absolutely sure about the machine count anyway and why don't we need a machine store 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 yeah so i think i'm not getting a real good recommendation from yangon. so now you are going to the dollar store and the dollar store stocking shelves and let me. remember just comes in some time

and he's staring at me over the top of these little you know potato chip type holder when i walk i would say can i help you and he said no i'm just shop and he leaves and then he comes in again and tells me he's been working on a 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 on to it and i guess if he gets enough of it he thinks he can pop it somewhere i don't know so he keeps coming in and ask me questions about rigging and spies and i don't know so what he wants so i just answer whatever he asked if it 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 that he didn't give a lot back clients and. that railway me had told him that it was much bigger. that bike he was investigating was bigger and went higher clint said this to you yes let's have that to me when he said 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 now finis conversations and he thought he was right with bush and feeney said that you had it with bush both george and jeb so let me says to you if you goes all with . me life is wait 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. while he was still. she was the book of. life first thought was they killed him why did you feel. guilty you feel guilty if i hadn't brought it to him then he would have got involved what was a don't ask of death they send suicide but they don't do autopsies in georgia. he

died in florida it's an automatic autopsy i mean if you if a suicide occurred in florida it would be an on america it's not a 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 out is this real secluded you know tree lines on both sides it's a little shabby twenty three dollar a night hotel you know if you wanted to kill yourself. right on stop somewhere in florida he was we're going to tallahassee florida is we're going to tallahassee so here we're intel and then there's valdosta which is just our half away our half way is sort of a border town in georgia and it's up always there are a lot of hotels we could stop at georgia prior to getting about the whole thing is

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 with another hour to get the valdosta supposedly he's in the motel room one night right but there's two receipts. in the police report it says one is a check and receipt there's a check over see he killed himself he didn't check out well i've not checked in a motel room with a charger up front in other words they check you in and check you out it seems on different days i'm going to do it yeah there's another problem with that the first receipt is david from june twenty ninth two thousand and three he was in tallahassee when they see those three million pieces where i could buy as she says until june thirtieth. two thousand and three so if your team who's in the room in june twenty ninth in the hotel room they found a blank with a legal pad 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 going yes and you're suggesting that somebody took those papers would you take a. legal pad in a rebel folder too i thought that maybe he wanted to have. his rights a suicide note the notes weird too because he didn't talk about his daughter and daughter was just about to be married and he mentioned his life by name he has one child a daughter daughter he does not mention her does not mention her but every time we talked at the dollar store part of the conversation with you know how's your daughter she doing you get married you know doesn't mention her in a suicide note motions is why did you sign a suicide note inside it he put the money. police say they took photographs would do to be a failure in the cameras flash memory there would be no photographs. we've recently

seen that there are in fact photographs that complex the police report had to complete 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 leming. 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 over him and let me also around that time they spoke with someone in 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 transportation. they told me over and over and over that they were not stonewalling me and then 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 the georgia police department so the fact that a call from someone at afterthought 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 apra 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 email 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 can the right way no matter what it costs i just doing this to sell books making this

a range of claims no longer outrageous most of it's already been proven well nonetheless i think you found most of the proof. on god. no no no. when this story broke publicly did anybody did 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. but major points from the year has not touched this affidavit story which is the preferred of what we're

looking at you i assume you're afraid i mean if they get in dan rather that's pretty impressive so. i'll see you feel compared to dan rather this thing matters and i don't care which side of the political spectrum you're on it's a frequently when i speak is not about left and right this is about right or 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 to 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 down to our 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 very very difficult to say look what you're doing to my you're the center of a very explosive story where people have died i don't know if it was murder suicide probably wasn't so as i thought it was in sort of. that's not funny. i never had this feeling before. that there's no place to turn. and normally you have the media you go to the greatest christmas become furious at least parts of it enough that when you go to you congressman. but nobody seems to care approximately eighty percent of the votes in the united states of america are counted by dbo yes ines in his continuing effort to demand accountability and to publicize his story clint 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 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 made his george jealous spent years in the courts fighting both the yangs and afterthought 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 de bold changed its name to premier election solutions ache 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 voting software but the fact that we're not able to look at the software that is used to count our votes this 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. well

let's say. it out i'm guessing. both let's say. that i'm an addict i wote let's say and a out i'm god that it and that it was. that is i.

it.
