Bush's mystery bulge
The rumor is flying around the globe. Was the president wired during the first debate?

Oct. 8, 2004 | Was President Bush literally channeling Karl Rove in his first debate with John Kerry? That's the latest rumor flooding the Internet, unleashed last week in the wake of an image caught by a television camera during the Miami debate. The image shows a large solid object between Bush's shoulder blades as he leans over the lectern and faces moderator Jim Lehrer.

The president is not known to wear a back brace, and it's safe to say he wasn't packing. So was the bulge under his well-tailored jacket a hidden receiver, picking up transmissions from someone offstage feeding the president answers through a hidden earpiece? Did the device explain why the normally ramrod-straight president seemed hunched over during much of the debate?

It's been posted numerous times already. I'd imagine you've even posted in several of those threads. Thus, trolling.

It is quit possible he was wearing Body armor. But I think I noticed a wire running along the back of his neck just under his hair line and then down into his collar in a video recording of the debate. What do you think?

I'd be much more tempted to believe it if he'd done even a little better during the debate...

Not necessarily.

They can feed him starter lines but it's entirely up to Bush when it comes time to add substance to them. And, well, we can all see that Bush's inventory of intelligence is greatly lacking.

Hot on the conspiracy trail, I tried to track down the source of the photo. None of the Bush-is-wired bloggers, however, seemed to know where the photo came from. Was it possible the bulge had been Photoshopped onto Bush's back by a lone conspiracy buff? It turns out that all of the video of the debate was recorded and sent out by Fox News, the pool broadcaster for the event. Fox sent feeds from multiple cameras to the other networks, which did their own on-air presentations and editing.

To watch the debate again, I ventured to the Web site of the most sober network I could think of: C-SPAN. And sure enough, at minute 23 on the video of the debate, you can clearly see the bulge between the president's shoulder blades.

So what was it? Jacob McKenna, a spyware expert and the owner of the Spy Store, a high-tech surveillance shop in Spokane, Wash., looked at the Bush image on his computer monitor. "There's certainly something on his back, and it appears to be electronic," he said. McKenna said that, given its shape, the bulge could be the inductor portion of a two-way push-to-talk system. McKenna noted that such a system makes use of a tiny microchip-based earplug radio that is pushed way down into the ear canal, where it is virtually invisible. He also said a weak signal could be scrambled and be undetected by another broadcaster...

...Suggestions that Bush may have using this technique stem from a D-day event in France, when a CNN broadcast appeared to pick up -- and broadcast to surprised viewers -- the sound of another voice seemingly reading Bush his lines, after which Bush repeated them. Danny Schechter, who operates the news site MediaChannel.org, and who has been doing some investigating into the wired-Bush rumors himself, said the Bush campaign has been worried of late about others picking up their radio frequencies -- notably during the Republican Convention on the day of Bush's appearance. "They had a frequency specialist stop me and ask about the frequency of my camera," Schechter said. "The Democrats weren't doing that at their convention."

Repeated calls to the White House and the Bush national campaign office over a period of three days, inquiring about what the president may have been wearing on his back during the debate, and whether he had used an audio device at other events, went unreturned.

Is this a reason why the Bush campaign wanted NO camera shots from behind the candidates?

this is a terribly serious article. in fact, it doesnt lend credibility to the claims at all.

Here are some pictures I took of the 23rd minute in question. You can clearly see it. That is definately not a bullet proof vest.

The more evidence keeps coming out the more of a puppet goverment this seems.

Dahunan should change the topic so that the subtitle at least references the possibility of a mic and antenna being in there.

This is hardly conspiracy theory stuff... What do people expect anyway? This guy is known for being sub-sentient and for needing zoo handlers.

Maybe Bush is the bionic man or a robot that is controlled by Dick Cheney, through Black Opps, who is the real leader of the country.
