Amazing! In addition to the now famous "back bulge" seen in the first
debate, there is solid evidence that Bush has used radio control in
earlier public speaking engagement: The "voice" was picked up by on a
CNN broadcast of a Bush speech.The video is available.
My fantasy, in the next debate Kerry wears a radio transmitter that
garbles Dubya’s radio signal. Sweet...
The evidence clearly indicates that W used an earpiece during the
debate and on other occasions. The pictures above appeared separately
on other sites (notably here and here) but the comparison proves quite
telling.
Click on the images to see larger versions. (My ladyfriend felt
relieved to learn that she was not seeing things when she spotted that
telltale dorsal bulge!)
Such a unit is composed of two pieces. The "earpiece" is either lodged
deep within the ear or (as current technology permits) placed next to
a molar. The within-the-ear version is very difficult to see unless
one knows what to look for.
The receiver is a much larger device, and is usually worn in front.
However, Bush had to wear a standard television microphone plus a
backup mic during the debate, and these are usually fitted by network
technicians over the chest. The only way to hide the receiver was to
affix it to the back.
You say you want more proof? Fair enough. Here’s the capper:
Go here and you’ll hear the CNN feed from Bush at the D-Day memorial.
The microphones accidentally picked up the signal transmitted into
Bush’s earpiece. You can plainly hear a phantom voice feeding Bush his
lines. (Note: On some systems, you may have to right-click the link
and save the file.)
This video was not doctored; many viewers heard the voice during the
live broadcast. See, for example, this testimony.
So...you still think that this is just another conspiracy theory?
Additional notes:
1. This piece outlines a truly high-tech approach. The only problem:
How to bring such a device covertly into the debate hall.
2. Right-wing bloggers have ignored this issue, concentrating on
Kerry’s use of (gasp! shudder!) a pen during the debate. Conservatives
would have us believe that Kerry "cheated" because he jotted down a
couple of notes while Bush spoke. Unfortunately, the same video which
proves Kerry’s use of a "concealed weapon" also shows Bush unfolding a
crib sheet and placing it on the podium.
3. Many have asked: If the President received electronic coaching, why
didn’t he convey his message more effectivey? I suspect that use of
this system requires more "hard work" than most imagine. Newscasters
must learn to speak while a director relays instructions into an
earpiece, and this is a difficult to art to master, for both the
on-camera talent and the behind-the-scenes coach. That’s why the use
of an earpiece may actually have hurt Bush’s performance. In my view,
he did much better against Gore.
I just got this in email:
