Stark Co. plane crash: Who was Michael Connell?

"Michael Connell was killed when the Piper Supercub he was piloting crashed three miles short of an Akron-Canton Airport runway. He leaves behind a wife and four children.

Connell, 45, of Bath Township, is considered to be one of the Republican Party's top computer experts. He led the companies that designed websites for the GOP and a virtual who's-who list of republican political leaders including President George W. Bush, Senator John McCain, as well as national organizations. Connell developed a host of federal government software and data management systems. Connell is also said to be a close confidant of the Bush family.

Earlier this year Connell was subpoenaed to testify in an Ohio federal court regarding voter fraud just days before the November presidential election. His alleged intimate knowledge of White House and Capitol Hill email systems has been a hot topic of conversation for Washington insiders regarding the Karl Rove/White House email scandal.

Connell founded New Media Communications, based in Cleveland, is the CEO of GovTech Solutions, based in Akron, and is associated with several other successful IT, marketing and advertising enterprises. His companies have won numerous awards for the development of political websites, marketing campaigns, and use of technology. New Media Communications placed third on the prestigious Weatherhead 100, a list compiled by Case Western Reserve University's Weatherhead School of Management that recognizes Northeast Ohio's fastest growing companies."

Bush Insider Who Planned To Tell All Killed In Plane Crash: Non-Profit Demands Full Federal Investigation

"...Velvet Revolution ("VR"), a non-profit that has been investigating Mr. Connell's activities for the past two years, can now reveal that a person close to Mr. Connell has recently been discussing with a VR investigator how he can tell all about his work for George Bush. Mr. Connell told a close associate that he was afraid that George Bush and Dick Cheney would "throw [him] under the bus."

A tipster close to the McCain campaign disclosed to VR in July that Mr. Connell's life was in jeopardy and that Karl Rove had threatened him and his wife, Heather. VR's attorney, Cliff Arnebeck, notified the United States Attorney General , Ohio law enforcement and the federal court about these threats and insisted that Mr. Connell be placed in protective custody. VR also told a close associate of Mr. Connell's not to fly his plane because of another tip that the plane could be sabotaged. Mr. Connell, a very experienced pilot, has had to abandon at least two flights in the past two months because of suspicious problems with his plane. On December 18, 2008, Mr. Connell flew to a small airport outside of Washington DC to meet some people. It was on his return flight the next day that he crashed. ..."

This article sort of paints over some of the negative things that Clinton was responsible for but it does expose a pattern of suspicious fatalities to the well connected.

Rove's henchmen out in full force?

Bloody Karl

Back in the Nineties, the right compiled a “Clinton death list,” and kept it circulating as a
part of their long propaganda drive against that president. They also spread a lot of rumors
of a coming federal crackdown, muttering of black helicopters in the skies, and “jack-booted
thugs” preparing to drag all good patriots away.

All that stuff was paranoid mythology, based loosely on some actual events (the FBI’s assault
at Ruby Ridge, which took place under Bush the Elder, and the massacre of the Branch
Davidians in Waco) and lots of heated fantasy (such as the notion that the Clintons whacked
Vince Foster).

Whereas Clinton’s enemies made much of his imaginary homicides and fascist plans, they’ve
mostly been stone-silent on the subject of Bush/Cheney’s overt strikes against US democracy
(e.g., the Patriot Act, etc.)–and on the many unexplained and/or suspicious deaths that have occurred throughout the dark years of this presidency.

The list is long. There’s Ray Lemme, the Florida investigator who, just after he told Clint Curtis
that he’d nailed the truth about the Bush Republicans’ election fraud, “committed suicide” in
Georgia; Deborah Palfrey, the “DC madam,” who threatened to go public with her client list,
then suddenly “committed suicide”; Athan Gibbs, whose company, TruVote, which specialized
in non-computerized vote-counting, was starting to compete with Diebold and ES&S et al.–
and who died young on a highway when his car was crushed by a big truck; Don C. Wiley, the
Harvard biologist who also suddenly, and wholly inexplicably, “committed suicide” (a
terminus apparently related to the Bush regime’s own work with lethal germs).

There are a lot of others, too. Instead of trying to name them all, let’s concentrate for now
on those with clear links to Karl Rove.

From Velvet Revolution:

Karl Rove was working with Phil Gramm when a witness died:

In 1985, Gramm was linked to a campaign contribution shakedown run out of a Small Business Administration (SBA) office in El Paso. He was never subjected to a complete investigation or negative press coverage, however, because on February 19, 1988, a leased Rockwell Aero Commander 680 crashed and exploded shortly after taking off from El Paso International Airport. All aboard, the pilot, his wife and son, were killed. The pilot was local businessman Don McCoy who, a day earlier, had agreed to give testimony in an FBI investigation that had threatened both Senator Gramm’s protégé at the SBA, and some of the city’s most prominent business leaders.

Karl Rove was one of Enron’s biggest shareholders. Questions surround the “suicide” of Enron’s Cliff Baxter.

Rove was working on John Ashcroft’s Senate campaign when his opponent, Mel Carnahan, was killed in a plane crash. Ashcroft lost the race.

Paul Wellstone was killed in a plane crash after speaking out loudly and publicly against starting the Iraq War. Rove was the political strategist in the White House.

And now Mike Connell. Quite the pile of bodies following Rove around.
