RECENT MIKE CONNELL STORIES

Jan. 23, 2009 - More than two years of reference to the late Michael L. Connell and his network insiders is found in an updated list of recent, related stories throughout ePluribusMedia:

Mike Connell: A Trail of Questions

Send tips to ePluribus Media Tipline

In the virtual worlds of computer security, networking, and email, the lines separating the inner workings of the current government in Washington D.C. and the outer world of partisan politics exist only in theory. The recent discovery that top strategists emailed plans for dismissing 8 U.S. Attorneys using accounts on the gwb43.com and georgewbush.com domains, hosted and paid for by the RNC, is just one indication of a much bigger disregard for the necessary separation of government and private industry.

Not only are the lines now blurred, but they became so years ago. Indeed, at the very inception of the Bush Administration, there was an effort to leverage partisan loyalty on the outside to preferred vending inside of dot gov.

The recent stories, diaries and articles surrounding the use of external email servers by senior White House members only scratch the surface. Come along to discover who is behind the dot com twins, georgewbush and gwb43, but be careful not to trip over the line.

                               


commentary :: :: :: buzz-it!
At ePluribus Media, we've spent many months investigating the 'virtual real estate' and why the neighbors seem to look so much like each other. The researchers were tipped off, as it were, by a line, or to be more exact, an image of a line: ohgop_index_nline.gif.

As one can pretty much guess from the name, it's an index divider graphic used for the Ohio GOP.  That image is one that NewMedia Communications used on a website built for the Ohio GOP. (The CEO of New Media Communications is one Mike Connell; remember that name if you don't already know it.)

Here's the html used to do so:

img src="http:/ohiogop.org/images/ohgop_index_nline.gif"

Simple enough. Nothing unusual. Nothing out of the ordinary.   Only, why is there is an image with exactly the same name and, indeed, the very same visual look on Intelligence.House.Gov?

Note the name of the gif file in the html used on the House Government site:

And just in case one misses the similarities, here are two screen caps of the relevant information about the two lines... side by side:


click on image for larger view

So who is this Mike Connell whose company was responsible for the OhioGOP site?  What do we know about his company?

Mike Connell's association with the Bush family began as far back as 1988 with George H.W. Bush and continues through to the present day. Throughout their association, Bush family has had a close relationship with several of Connell's business interests.  As Mr. Connell's businesses grew, they expanded to encompass much of the Republican Party, from the RNC to the Republican Governors Association and onward to more.

"Inside Business," Nov. 2, 1999: Interview with Mike Connell

"I wouldn't be where I am today without the Bush campaign and the Bush family because the Bushes truly are about family and I'm loyal to my network. I'm loyal to my friends and I'm loyal to the Bush family, so there is only once place I can be in 2000.'" Connell refuses to comment on what role that might be, though.

Mike Connell was well-timed to wed his political experience to the burgeoning Internet's demand for computing savvy. Technomania.com has been the homepage from which Connell has launched cyberspace campaigns for his "Who's Who" of Republican politics.

His timing was also right for putting Jeb.org on the web and Jeb Bush into Florida's governor mansion (1998, 2002) whose campaigns hopscotched with George W. Bush's national campaigns using GeorgeWBush.com in 2000 and 2004. His Presidential campaigns have achieved the highest visibility but even the face of the national organization, GOP.com, itself is sculpted by Mike Connell. In fact, the RNC counted on Connell to coordinate 36 state efforts with the Republican Governor's Association (rga.org).

Following these threads, ePluribus Media researchers have pieced together information that suggests that the influence Mr. Connell has had in his role as the technical guru of everything Republican led to the eventual winning of government contracts by another company he has close ties to-- GovTech Solutions-- placing it and its servers behind the Congressional firewall.

Indeed, remember one of those domains from which those White House strategists used to email plans to purge the 8 U.S. Attorneys? www.georgewbush.com -- the very domain at which one KR (kr@georgewbush.com) received email pertaining to strategies for firing U.S. Attorneys. Tom Jackson on New Media's own web page Latest News 10-01-2004 makes the connection between New Media and georgewbush.com:

Mike Connell is busy mixing business and politics again.

After redesigning George W. Bush's presidential campaign web site in 2000, when the Republican candidate's strategists decided they needed more Internet expertise than they had in house, Mr. Connell's New Media Communications in Richfield is the web developer behind the latest version of www.georgewbush.com.

Which brings us back to the question: how did a line graphic on a website built by NewMedia for the Ohio GOP end up on the House Intelligence web site built by GovTech?

Who Owns Govtech?

The 2007 SBA Firm Profile shows Mike Connell as the Operations Manager. His wife, Heather Connell, is listed as President and CEO. The business is identified as a woman-owned company.

However, the articles of organization shows that Mike L. Connell was apppointed the agent "upon whom any process, notice, or demand required or permitted by statute to be served upon the limited liability company may be served."

There are three principals named in this document: Mike Connell, Thomas J. Synhorst and Heather Connell.

Four of Govtech's featured client sites -- exhibiting Connell's Govtech reach

Bush-Cheney Transition
Using cutting-edge XML programming, GovTech Solutions developed the transition web site for President-elect George W. Bush. The site's advanced security encryption provided a mechanism for job seekers to upload their resumes and personal information for administration jobs.
Project Safe Neighborhoods
PSN is agressively implementing the Bush Administration's strategy to reduce gun violence in America. The effectiveness of the PSN program is largely based on the ability of federal, state, and local agencies to cooperate in a unified offensive led by the United States Department of Justice. The new web site is playing a key role in helping coordinate the activities of the various agencies and the citizens and community leaders who seek to help them.
House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence
The Intelligence Committee redesigned Web site offers a monthly schedule, a Fact of the Day and Intelligence Triva as well as Frequenly Asked Questions area. As part of the redesign, GovTech Solutions reworked the site navigation to allow for a dynamic fly-out menu allowing users to find information with one click.
Results.gov
GovTech Solutions teamed with The Council for Excellence in Government and The White House to develop an informational online reference tool for presidential appointees. Exemplary of GovTech design, the site includes critical information for White House and other key appointees, including the president's management agenda and ethics rules explanations.

The line

When Mike Connell started up Govtech, he provided as his reasoning:

New Media Communications Inc. plans to spin off a new company, GovTech Solutions, to handle its government web site accounts. ... Mike Connell, president and chief executive officer of New Media Communications, has decided to roll out a separate company for its political work because government and corporations are "two animals different enough to have it make sense."1

So what does this mean?

These discoveries raise important questions such as:

  • What happens to all the data after 2008 elections?
  • Will these systems be left in place once a new administration is elected?
  • How will the new administration be assured that they are not being monitored by Govtech across that blurry line?
Remember, in 2001: "GovTech Solutions is the only private-sector company to gain permission from HIR to place its servers behind the firewall, Mr. Connell said."2

Good start!

  1.  Is the term "screen caps" understood by most?  Why not make it "screen captures" to be sure everyone gets it.

  2.  Why not refer to Cong. Henry Waxman's new effort (as of Monday 3-26) to lasso the emails used by the administration that were NOT in the White House system, but were in various RNC domains?  It seems the domains may have been used to avoid any future scrutiny of official business conducted on them by the Bush adminstration.

At the same link are mentions of the use of such email accounts, if you want to link there.  http://oversight.house.gov/story.asp?ID=1225

One of Waxman's letters states:

The investigation also found that Barry Jackson, the Deputy Assistant to
the President and Deputy to the Senior Advisor, used a "georgewbush.com" e-mail account to
communicate with Neil Volz, an Abramoff associate who has been convicted of public comrption charges.3

Among the documents released by the Justice Department is an e-mail exchange between J. Scott Jennings,
the Special Assistant to the President and Deputy Director of Political Affairs in the White
House, and Kyle Sampson, the Chief of Staff of the Justice Department, that discussed how to
replace Arkansas U.S. Attorney Bud Cummins with Tim Griffin in a way that "would alleviate
pressure/implication that Tim forced Bud out."7 In this e-mail exchange, as well as other
exchanges, Mr. Jennings used a"gwb43.com" e-mail account maintained by the Republican
National Committee.

Thanks, I really wanted the Waxman link here.

Note that on August 23, 2001, Susan Ralston refers to her own email addresses at rnchq.org and georgewbush.com in an email with Jack Abramoff.

Did the GOP put all their eggs in Connell's basket?


by avahome on Tue Mar 27, 2007 at 03:38:20 PM EST
And another basket.

All being held by the same rabid, saber-toothed bunny.

[ Parent ]

long range hindsight, it's seeming more apparent that Connell is not just bragging when the reference is to his being the RNC's Internet strategist.  I assume that was what you meant by all eggs/one basket?

I think you remember who else is in that 'virtual estate'.

I discovered this last night: the jury's out on whether or not it's significant, but I sure hope someone follows this up.

The subdomain mail.georgewbush.com shares an IP address with ONE site, webmail.focushumanitarian.org. They use different nameservers but it is odd that these are the only two sites using 65.207.101.51.

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

I also found it odd that when I tried to do a reverseIP check at domaintools.com, I got the following error:

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

The side-by-side DNS information is from domaintools.com so the do have information on that IP address, if you look for it using another means. Again, not sure whether or not there is something nefarious here but felt others should have a look.

Now who or what is FOCUS Humanitarian Assistance? See this USAID company profile for FOCUS Humanitarian Assistance:
Responds to disasters in Tajikistan, Pakistan, Afghanistan, India, and other areas of Central and South Asia with programs that range from relief and recovery to prevention, mitigation, and preparedness to help people cope with both natural and man-made disasters. FOCUS is an affiliate of the Aga Khan Development Network, a network of agencies that focus on health, education, culture, rural development, institution building, and economic development.
I would still like to know why they share the subdomain IP with mail.georgewbush.com! Also, FOCUS Humanitarian Assistance is under the umbrella of the Aga Khan Development Network. Who is Aga Khan?
His Highness the Aga Khan became Imam of the Shia Imami Ismaili Muslims on July 11, 1957 at the age of 20, succeeding his grandfather, Sir Sultan Mahomed Shah Aga Khan. He is the 49th hereditary Imam of the Shia Imami Ismaili Muslims and a direct descendant of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) through his cousin and son-in-law, Ali, the first Imam, and his wife Fatima, the Prophet's daughter.
This guy's organization (one of them) is sharing an IP with mail.georgewbush.com? I'd like to see an explanation for that.

It gives the same IP address for webmail.focushumanitarian.org as Netcraft does...

The domaintools dns lookup says that the CNAME or canonical name for webmail.focushumanitarian.org is mail.focushumanitarian.org, which matches the IP given by Netcraft.

Still, if this is the case, that webmail.focushumanitarian.org is just a proxy, it is still the primary domain on that IP address, and it does share it with mail.georgewbush.com - which still leaves me questioning "Why?"

Let's not forget the DOE.gov website designed by GTS, and the SSL cert is still sitting out on Connell's development servers.

by intranets on Tue Mar 27, 2007 at 04:52:40 PM EST
You might include this Blackwell connection, for more "what other fun does Connell and GTS do?"

The State of Ohio's real-time, streaming election results are first diverted through Chattanooga, TN, to a GOP-only web firm and the servers currently hosting georgewbush.com, as well as other key Republican web sites.

That's right.  Ohio's election night results were hosted on the same infrastructure that KR uses for his own private backdoor email.  So, you might call this KR's own backdoor election results as implemented by Ken Blackwell.

by intranets on Tue Mar 27, 2007 at 04:57:48 PM EST

Is it okay to ask about a certain former GTS employee who ended up working as what could possibly be a principal of the greater story in 2005?

Representative Henry Waxman has asked the Republican National Committee to preserve emails associated with accounts on the georgebush.com and gwb43.com domains. However, there are many more domains associated with the same IP address block as these mail domains. So, as a point of information, we offer the following list. Of course, we do not know whether each and every one of these domains is associated with the Bush campaign or the RNC. However, it seems obvious that many of them are. As a result they may provide an opportunity for nongovernmental email addresses for government staffers. In coming pieces we will be discussing many of these domains and the relationships between them. Alphabetical List of Domains Sharing mailservers with gwb43.com

Investigation:

Infiltration of files seen as extensive

How does this fit into the 2002-2003 memo leaks at the House emails investigation?


The office of Senate Sergeant-at-Arms William Pickle has already launched an investigation into how excerpts from 15 Democratic memos showed up in the pages of the conservative-leaning newspapers and were posted to a website last November.
...

Republicans yesterday offered a new defense. They said that in the summer of 2002, their computer technician informed his Democratic counterpart of the glitch, but Democrats did nothing to fix the problem.

That technician didn't happen to work for GovTech??  And didn't happen to leave a hole in certain reps computers..

Nice graphic, clearly spells it out!

thank you both for going to the trouble of getting that image here, and right.  

As we went to the final push, it was that image I wanted to include and juxtaposed against the same from Ohio GOP's site.  It helps to bring home emotionally and technically the full context.

It helps to suggest what I think is wrong with this picture.  Having someone who is  so 'very right' embedded into the workings of the Committee keeping charge of our nation's deepest secrets cannot be a good thing.

The First Contract by Laura Rozen

Excerpt:

From 1991 to 1993, a young lieutenant commander in the Navy Reserve was working as a program manager in a Pentagon intelligence office. His name was Mitchell John Wade. His boss, the assistant secretary of defense for command, control, communications and intelligence, was Duane P. Andrews. Andrews's job at the Pentagon was essentially to serve as intelligence advisor to the secretary of defense. The secretary of defense at the time was someone that Andrews knew well and respected immensely: Dick Cheney.

Back during the Reagan administration, Andrews had served as a professional staff member to the House Intelligence Committee, of which Cheney, then a Wyoming Republican congressman, was a prominent member. In a recent interview with a federal technology magazine, Andrews lists Cheney as his personal, lifelong hero.

I'm grateful to all those who worked to get this written.  I think it's good to finally see some of this coming out.  There are too many possibilities for abuse with this mixing of the political entities and goverment infrastructure.  We are starting to see some evidence of it with the emails that have slipped out from the Abramoff and U.S. Attorney investigations.  I have an idea this  is just the tip of the iceberg.

I had no idea how the use of these non-official web servers run by GovTech would end up as being involved in a larger story.
