WHISTLEBLOWER AFFIDAVIT: Programmer Built Vote Rigging Prototype at

Republican Congressman's Request!

CLAIM: Rep. Tom Feeney (R-FL) Asked Company to Create E-Vote Fraud

Software!

*** A BRAD BLOG EXCLUSIVE! PLEASE CREDIT! ***

In stunning revelations set to rock the vote from Tallahassee to

Capitol Hill -- and perhaps even a bit further up Pennsylvania

Avenue -- a Florida computer programmer has now made remarkable

claims in a detailed sworn affidavit, signed this morning and

obtained exclusively by The BRAD BLOG!

 

- Affidavit in .PDF format

 

The programmer claims that he designed and built a " vote rigging "

software program at the behest of then Florida Congressman, now U.S.

Congressman, Republican Tom Feeney of Florida's 24th Congressional

District.

 

Clint Curtis, 46, claims that he built the software for Feeney in

2000 while working at a sofware design and engineering company in

Oviedo, Florida (Feeney's home district).

 

Curtis, in his affidavit, says that as technical advisor and

programmer at Yang Enterprises, Inc. (YEI) he was present at company

meetings where Feeney was present " on at least a dozen occasions " .

 

Feeney, who had run in 1994 as Jeb Bush's running-mate in his

initial unsuccessful bid for Florida Governor, was serving as both

corporate counsel and registered lobbyist for YEI during the period

that Curtis worked at the company. Feeney was also concurrently

serving as a Florida state congressman while performing those

services for YEI. Feeney would eventually become Speaker of the

Florida House before being elected to the U.S. House of

Representatives in 2002. He is now a member of the U.S. House

Judiciary Committee.

 

At an October 2000 meeting with Feeney, according to the affidavit

and BRAD BLOG interviews with Curtis over the past three days,

Feeney inquired whether the company could build a " vote fraud

software prototype " .

 

At least three YEI employees are said to have been present at that

meeting; Curtis, company owner, Mrs. Li Woan Yang, and her executive

secretary, Mike Cohen. Two other YEI employees may have come in and

out at different points of the meeting according to Curtis.

 

Curtis says that Feeney " was very specific in the design and

specifications required for this program. "

 

" He detailed, in his own words, that; (a) the program needed to be

touch-screen capable (b) the user should be able to trigger the

program without any additional equipment © the programming to

accomplish this needed to stay hidden even if the source code was

inspected. "

 

Though there was no problem with the first two requirements, Curtis

explained to the Congressman that it would be " virtually impossible

to hide such code written to change the voting results if anyone is

able to review the uncompiled source code "

 

Nonetheless, he was asked at the meeting by Mrs. Yang to build the

prototype anyway.

 

Curtis, " a life-long Republican " at the time, claims that it was his

initial belief that Feeney's interest was in trying to stop

Democrats from using " such a program to steal an election " . Curtis

had assumed that Feeney, " wanted to be able to detect and prevent

that if it occurred. "

 

Upon delivery of the software design and documentation on CD to Mrs.

Yang, Curtis again explained to her that it would be impossible to

hide routines created to manipulate the vote if anybody would be

able to inspect the precompiled source code.

 

Mrs. Yang then told him, " You don't understand, in order to get the

contract we have to hide the manipulation in the source code. This

program is needed to control the vote in South Florida. " [emphasis

in affidavit]

 

Mrs. Yang then took the CD containing the software from Curtis,

reportedly for later delivery to Feeney.

 

In other meetings with Feeny prior to the 2000 elections, it became

clear to Curtis that Feeney had plans to suppress the vote in strong

Democratic precincts. In the affidavit, Curtis claims that in those

meetings Feeney had " bragged that he had already

implemented 'exclusion lists' to reduce the 'black vote'. " Feeney

also mentioned that " proper placement of police patrols could

further reduce the black vote by as much as 25%. "

 

Curtis says that he submitted his resignation to YEI effective

December 2000, but stayed on until they had found someone to replace

him in February of 2001. He eventually became employed by the

Florida Dept. of Transportation (FDOT) after leaving YEI.

 

But the scandals didn't stop there.

 

In May of 2001, while at FDOT, Curtis and another FDOT employee,

Mavis Georgalis, discovered and then reported several allegations to

the Inspector General at FDOT concerning over-billing by YEI -- who

had been an FDOT contractor -- and software that was never delivered

by the company. Allegations also included the employment of a

suspected illegal alien, Mr. Hai Lin Nee, who worked as

YEI's " quality control " manager.

 

Both Curtis and Georgalis were reportedly harassed after filing

their complaints about malfeasance at YEI and pressure mounted on

the FDOT -- purportedly from the powerful Feeney who was still

working with YEI -- to have them both fired.

 

In November 2001, after Curtis filed his complaints at FDOT, both he

and Georgalis' were subsequently sued by YEI " in retaliation " for

their complaints against the company. The charge was " theft of

intellectual property " , which Curtis has catagorized as " ridiculous "

in interviews, because the " intellectual property " in question was,

in fact, software that FDOT had long ago paid YEI to develop for

them.

 

YEI was represented in the lawsuit by Congressman Feeney's law firm.

 

When the two had sought help from FDOT in fighting YEI's suit

against them, they were told that FDOT couldn't help them because

FDOT had not been named in the suit.

 

After several rounds of court battles, Georgalis was finally

successful in having FDOT added to the suit as a third co-defendant.

The suit was originally filed in Seminole County, but moved to Leon

County upon the addition of FDOT.

 

In April of 2002 -- on the very same day -- Curtis and Georgalis

were both fired by FDOT without explanation.

 

The Daytona Beach News-Journal reported extensively in 2002 on the

case. They reported at the time that Curtis had written to the

Inspector General at FDOT to inquire why no investigation had yet

been made into YEI. As well, Curtis had contacted the Florida Bar,

since Feeney was a member, to inform them that " Feeney has used his

position to promote the profits of Yang Enterprises, from whom he

received compensation under the guise of lobbyist and attorney. "

 

According to The Orlando Sentinel in 2001, of 160 Florida

congressmen, Feeney was the only known registered lobbyist. He would

later be cleared of all ethics violations brought against him in the

Florida house on these matters by the Ethics Committee which

included four Republicans appointed to the committee by Feeney.

Curtis was never interviewed by the Ethics Committee concerning his

allegations.

 

After Curtis and Georgalis were fired by FDOT, each attempted to

file " Whistleblower Suits " in the state of Florida. Georgalis' suit

was successful and FDOT was eventually ordered, after lengthy court

battles, to reinstate her with full back-pay by the circuit court.

Curtis' suit was not successful due to having missed the filing

deadline for the suit.

 

That suit, filed over three years ago, is still pending. The reason,

explained Curtis, is that YEI has since avoided all defendants

attempts to depose company employees in the case.

 

By May of 2002, the FDOT had finally taken up the investigation into

malfeasance by YEI.

 

In one particularly chilling paragraph in the affidavit, Curtis

explains what became of Raymond Lemme, the inspector at FDOT who was

said to be pursing the allegations against YEI, Tom Feeney and the

other reported matters:

 

" n June of 2003, he told me that he had tracked the

corruption 'all the way to the top' and that the story would break

in the next few weeks and I would be satisfied with the results. A

few weeks later, on July 1st, Mr. Lemme was found dead with his arm

slashed in a hotel room in Valdosta, Georgia. "

The death was ruled a suicide by the Valdosta Police. The BRAD BLOG

has obtained and is currently reviewing many official documents

related to Mr. Lemme's death.

Mr. Hai Lin Nee, " the ilegal alien " who had worked at YEI and was

reported by Curtis, was arrested in March of 2004 on espionage

charges which included " shipping radar guidance system chips for

Hellfire Anti-Tank Missiles to a company in Communist China. "

Curtis discussed in detail, during our interviews, Mr. Nee having

placed " wiretapping modules " into software code created by the

company. The secret " wiretapping modules " , Curtis claims, were to

download information from programs built by YEI for contractors, and

then either copy or send that information via Email back to YEI.

Such software, Curtis claims, was created for companies such as NASA

with whom YEI held substantial contracts.

According to both the Curtis affidavit and email dated November 22,

2004 obtained by The BRAD BLOG, YEI is currently under investigation

by the FBI.

That information was sent to Curtis after he had attempted on

several occassions to notify law enforcement authorities of his

seemingly remarkable story of espionage, possible vote tampering and

other ethical concerns.

In July of this year, in an email we've reviewed which purports to

be from a current YEI employee whose name we are withholding, Curtis

was sent the following message in regard to a book that the employee

had learned Curtis was working on:

They know about the book. You should not have sent it to a bush

supporter. They are going crazy...like they weren't after you

already.

So I get to warn you AGAIN. They will do everything thwey [sic] can

to keep it from getting published. They are also going to try to

take you out again. Don't be alone. They specifically want to limit

casualities to just you. As long as they can't catch you alone they

won't touch you. You are such a loser........

Moi

In what he describes as " an attempt to get this story out there " ,

Curtis told part of the tale on a website, www.justaflyonthewall.com

where he has changed the names of some of the specific parties

involved. (e.g. " Wong " is substituted for " Yang " on the site)

Additional charges by Curtis also include that databases and

information were routinely sent by Mrs. Yang to her brother in China

who, Yang had told Curtis on one occasion, had previously been

deported for " being a spy " . The BRAD BLOG has not yet been able to

confirm the espionage charges concerning Mrs. Yang's brother.

Curtis' affidavit is being turned over this afternoon to staffers at

the U.S. House Judiciary Committee. An investigation into Curtis'

story is pending.

While we've been working on this story for several days in order to

get it right, we had hoped to hold it a bit longer to confirm a few

more of the details. As well, we had hoped to allow the Judiciary

Committee and others time to comment before making this story widely

available.

However, as of late Sunday night, Curtis' story has been reported

elsewhere on the Internet by Wayne Madsen. His detailed account

references an older, very short affidavit that Curtis had made in

regards to the information contained in a self-published book on

some of these matters.

While Madsen's article was independently researched and reported --

and offers some very good detail in relation to Curtis, YEI, FDOT

and Feeney, much of which that we can confirm -- he then ties those

stories to a much grander CIA/Bush family conspiracy.

While we have looked somewhat cursorily over the last several weeks

into some of the larger matters which Madsen discusses, and has been

reporting on for some time, we cannot confirm any of those grander

details as playing any part in this particular story. While his

claims may be true, The BRAD BLOG has seen no evidence to support

them as being related to the Curtis story at this time.

Frankly, we find the information related in Curtis' sworn affidavit,

and via our interviews with him and others directly related to his

story to be rather stunning as is, and we will stand by our

reporting of those matters at this time.

Given the importance of the many allegations in his story if they

are true -- and we have so far been unable to identify any major

holes or discrepancies in his information -- we thought it necessary

to release the full details contained in this sworn affidavit

immediately so that Curtis' story and the explosive allegations

contained therein could be more accurately assessed.
