Danish Reporter On the Job!! Interviewing International Monitor Tomorrow!
Look:

Thank you very much for your very useful mails. Tomorrow I'll interview one of the OSCE observers. He was in Ohio. I'll present him with a lot of the information you and DU have gathered. I'll keep you informed, either by mail or via the DU forums.

Yours respectfully
Bo Elkjaer, Denmark

1. This is great
I hope the rest of the world will view this election as suspect even if our 10-second-attention-span-citizens have moved on to the Julia Roberts twins

13. God BLESS the Danes!
I really don't think the WORLD at large knows what we are up against in this fascist state.

This morning NPR had an extensive interview with an observer from Chicago who worked the Ukraine election. I kept thinking, yeah -- but, but, but OUR election was stolen too! Where is the OSCE and an interview with them???? I had read that some of them described our electoral process as "worse than Serbia." But what good does that do if they are not speaking out publicly?

Deep in my heart, what's almost of paramount importance to me, is that the world know this was stolen twice and that we are living in a fascist state under leadership we did NOT elect. I do not want the nations of the world to think we CHOSE this regime TWICE and that we love to see other human beings being slaughtered and tortured.

19. Update on upcoming OSCE interview
Dear DU'ers

I have supplied the OSCE observer with a lot of material on the US election - Michael Houts report, dr. Freemans ditto, information on Jesse Jackson and the letter from House of rep to Kenneth Blackwell and I have offered him access to a gathered database of approx. 37.000 election "incidents".

I'll let you know what he says. I have interviewed him numerous times on differend subjects and know him well. I trust that he'll respond quickly. He's a member of the danish parliament.

Oh, I pointed him to this forum and blackboxvoting too.

Yours
Bo Elkjaer

I'm glad that at least one journalist is woken up (here in Switzerland they are all sleepy...)

Am a free journalist for myself... (editorial staffs are sticking their head into the earth and pretend nothing to hear)

34. Update on OSCE observers
Edited on Mon Dec-06-04 07:41 AM by Danish Reporter
Dear DU'ers

I didn't get to interview the danish OSCE observer as scheduled friday. At the moment he's in Sydney, Australia. But I have provided him with a lot of relevant material concerning the election by mail.

In total three danish members of parliament served as OSCE observers. I have provided all three with relevant reports, working papers and articles.

Two of the observers have acknowledged that they received the reports, and I have briefed them about the issues at hand. Interviews are scheduled with one of them tomorrow night danish time, the other wednesday.

Also I have provided the observers telephone-nrs. and emailadresses to the US journalist who asked for it, re Ojai.

I'll keep you updated.

Yours

I shiver in sinister delight when our mainstream media can no longer "ignore" the biggest scandal in American history, first reported by foreign and alternative media. The irrelevance of our NASCAR media will be manifested.

52. UPDATE from Denmark
Dear DU'ers

I'm not yet at a posting level where I can post anything but replies. So I'll post my updates here.

The Clinton Curtis affidavit story is frontpage news in Denmark. I wrote a story on the affidavit for Ekstra Bladet, which basicly summed up what Curtis have declared.

The article was picked up by the danish wire service Ritzau and ran on national radio this morning.

I have had readers calling in today, asking if the story about the affidavit was true and asking if I had anything planned for tomorrow.

Well. I have. Today I interviewed Cliff Arnebeck from Ohio. I'll be writing about Arnebeck and the Ohio filing for tomorrow.

He comes through as very straight and precise, but there were issues from other states that he simply hadn't heard about. It's deeply concerning to sit in Denmark and inform attorneys from Ohio about relevant and important events in Florida.

Yes, blame the media.

This may change, though. I believe he told me, that he had been interviewed by someone from danish radio, but also from NY Times and Washington Post. He assured me that US main stream media is picking up on the story.

Please: Keep on mailing me.

I'll post updates as I move along.

Yours

Bo Elkjaer, Denmark

Good work, Bo! I am wondering if you have reported yet on the proof of voter suppression in Franklin County, Ohio. Here is some new analysis I did: <http://www.indybay.org/news/2004/12/1708672.php> and Joe Knapp has done some great charts and graphs too at . Tim
