The BULGE still won't die!!! This story is still with us everyone! Just when we all thought our Bulge-world was being drowned out by other important news and the amazing revelation of another nationally exposed "Milli Vanilli Moment" (Ashlee Simpson on SNL); surprisingly, The President himself blew new wind into our sails by announcing that the BULGE was now "officially" a BADLY TAILORED SHIRT (not the previously announced BADLY TAILORED JACKET!.). This follows other "official statements" ranging from, simply, that the BULGE did not exist, to the explanation that device for was for communicating with Mars, and that the President was an "ALIEN".

For BULGE newbies, please remember that the White House previously stated that the Bulge IS NOT a bulletproof vest (with protruding trauma plate). Please view the posts below for more detailed info PAST LINKS & THEORIES or simply scroll down. News, Video, Photos and supporting EVIDENCE gathered over the last few weeks. Why did I make this site? READ THIS (a previous post)

One look at the photo gallery will show clearly that we still have no REAL explanation for the bulge. The fact that this BULGE existed during all 3 debates, in other important situations, and could very well be a "coaching" or "prompting" system, thus allowing Bush to "cheat" makes me very concerned. This is an especially ugly election year and "dirty tricks" have already been used by both sides. The other "theory", that the BULGE is a medical device also raises some very important questions. BUSH WIRED urges you to look at the evidence carefully and MAKE UP YOUR OWN MIND!

• --> ARTICLE on Bush's 9/11 Commission testimony and the BULGE seen there! Another photo of this is in the BUSH WIRED PHOTO GALLERY.
• --> DAVE LINDORFF STORY from the other day. Interesting... also mentions the 9/11 commission BULGE.
BUSH WIRED feels that the 9/11 Bulge is important because THE BULGE has been seen in another crucial situation where President Bush could have benefitted from wearing a "wire"... The 9/11 Commission Hearings. If you remember, when Bush and Cheney appeared before this commission, they refused to testify under oath, no taping, photos, or transcripts were allowed. Nobody knows what happened behind those closed doors, but these stipulations raised many eyebrows among the press and ordinary Americans. Now that that the familiar "rectangular shape" has appeared again in a very crucial situation, I'm sure more questions will continue to be asked. AMERICA DESERVES AN ANSWER!

LAST WEEK'S BULGE NEWS AND LINKS:
• --> The American Media Has Failed Again A new story... I'll agree with that!
• --> New Article asks, "But has anyone in the media tried to find out what that bulge really was?"
• --> The Tailor speaks again!! From today's THE HILL. Gee, this sounds kinda familiar... I thought they fired him! See the picture... this is funny, well, not really. I can't believe they are still standing behind the statement that the BULGE was a WRINKLE! Does ANYBODY buy this?

Hi thanks for all the evidence that something is very rotten in the state of George Bush!
By the way: do you know that George Bush today when attacking John Kerry about those missing tonnes of explosives in Iraq advised his audience not to vote for him on Election Day.

Bush told his audience and I quote: "A political candidate who jumps to conclusions without knowing the facts is not a person you want as your commander in chief".

Well, did George as commander in chief know the facts about those WMD when he rushed to war, not waiting for the UN inspectors to finish their work in Iraq, did he know the facts when he decided about the number of troops needed to protect and secure the lives and goods of the Iraqi people to prevent the 6 weeks of looting that could take place under the eyes of the US troops, did he know the facts when he decided not to secure the open borders against invading foreign terrorists? Did he know the facts before he opened Pandora's Box in Iraq? The war was based on colossal misjudgements, but today at least we good a good advise from the president: don't vote for him to be your next commander in chief on Election Day!
The USA and the rest of the world deserve better.

Best wishes from The Netherlands!

NASA photo analyst: Bush wore a device during debate
Physicist says imaging techniques prove the president's bulge was not caused by wrinkled clothing.

- - - - - - - - - - - -
By Kevin Berger

Oct. 29, 2004  |  George W. Bush tried to laugh off the bulge. "I don't know what that is," he said on "Good Morning America" on Wednesday, referring to the infamous protrusion beneath his jacket during the presidential debates. "I'm embarrassed to say it's a poorly tailored shirt."

Dr. Robert M. Nelson, however, was not laughing. He knew the president was not telling the truth. And Nelson is neither conspiracy theorist nor midnight blogger. He's a senior research scientist for NASA and for Caltech's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and an international authority on image analysis. Currently he's engrossed in analyzing digital photos of Saturn's moon Titan, determining its shape, whether it contains craters or canyons.

For the past week, while at home, using his own computers, and off the clock at Caltech and NASA, Nelson has been analyzing images of the president's back during the debates. A professional physicist and photo analyst for more than 30 years, he speaks earnestly and thoughtfully about his subject. "I am willing to stake my scientific reputation to the statement that Bush was wearing something under his jacket during the debate," he says. "This is not about a bad suit. And there's no way the bulge can be described as a wrinkled shirt."
Nelson and a scientific colleague produced the photos from a videotape, recorded by the colleague, who has chosen to remain anonymous, of the first debate. The images provide the most vivid details yet of the bulge beneath the president's suit. Amateurs have certainly had their turn at examining the bulge, but no professional with a résumé as impressive as Nelson's has ventured into public with an informed opinion. In fact, no one to date has enhanced photos of Bush's jacket to this degree of precision, and revealed what appears to be some kind of mechanical device with a wire snaking up the president's shoulder toward his neck and down his back to his waist.

Nelson stresses that he's not certain what lies beneath the president's jacket. He offers, though, "that it could be some type of electronic device -- it's consistent with the appearance of an electronic device worn in that manner." The image of lines coursing up and down the president's back, Nelson adds, is "consistent with a wire or a tube."

Nelson used the computer software program Photoshop to enhance the texture in Bush's jacket. The process in no way alters the image but sharpens its edges and accents the creases and wrinkles. You've seen the process performed a hundred times on "CSI": pixelated images are magnified to reveal a clear definition of their shape.

Bruce Hapke, professor emeritus of planetary science in the department of geology and planetary science at the University of Pittsburgh, reviewed the Bush images employed by Nelson, whom he calls "a very highly respected scientist in his field." Hapke says Nelson's process of analyzing the images are the "exact same methods we use to analyze images taken by spacecraft of planetary surfaces. It does not introduce any artifacts into the picture in any way."

How can Nelson be certain there's some kind of mechanical device beneath Bush's jacket? It's all about light and shadows, he says. The angles at which the light in the studio hit Bush's jacket expose contours that fit no one's picture of human anatomy and wrinkled shirts. And Nelson compared the images to anatomy texts. He also experimented with wrinkling shirts in various configurations, wore them under his jacket under his bathroom light, and couldn't produce anything close to the Bush bulge.

In the enhanced photo of the first debate, Nelson says, look at the horizontal white line in middle of the president's back. You'll see a shadow. "That's telling me there's definitely a bulge," he says. "In fact, it's how we measure the depths of the craters on the moon or on Mars. We look at the angle of the light and the length of shadow they leave. In this case, that's clearly a crater that's under the horizontal line -- it's clearly a rim of a bulge protruding upward, one due to forces pushing it up from beneath."

Hapke, too, agrees that the bulge is neither anatomy nor a wrinkled shirt. "I would think it's very hard to avoid the conclusion that there's something underneath his jacket," he says. "It would certainly be consistent with some kind of radio receiver and a wire."

Nelson admits that he's a Democrat and plans to vote for John Kerry. But he takes umbrage at being accused of partisanship. "Everyone wants to think my colleague and I are just a bunch of dope-crazed ravaged Democrats who are looking to insult the president at the last minute," he says. "And that's not what this is about. This is scientific analysis. If the bulge were on Bill Clinton's back and he was lying about it, I'd have to say the same thing."

"Look, he says, "I'm putting myself at risk for exposing this. But this is too important. It's not about my reputation. If they force me into an early retirement, it'll be worth it if the public knows about this. It's outrageous statements that I read that the president is wearing nothing under there. There's clearly something there."

Tom Brokaw from NBC Nightly News will be interviewing Bush over the weekend. Write to him at nightly@nbc.com and ask him to address the bulge with the President. Brokaw will be retiring after the election, and therefore, has nothing to lose career-wise by pursuing this issue.

NOTE TO POSTERS:

Regarding the use of a boxy device (aka THE BULGE) when the government has multi-billion dollar technology at hand:

• State-of-the-art prompting devices are small, wireless, but not so tiny that they cannot be seen. • SEE THIS DEVICE• In fairness, I have read in several news sources, that the Secret Service, may have a wireless device on the president to allow for immediate communication in case of an emergency. News articles and several "tips" to BUSH WIRED have stated that the device is, in fact, boxy as it contains an "encryption module".
• The question remains as to why the President would need to wear such a device at the "totally secure" debates, or behind closed doors at the 9/11 Commission hearings. It seems that if the answer was as simple as a security device, the Bush/Cheney Campaign would be quick to state so, thereby eliminating the need to waste valuable time answering questions about THE BULGE in the days before the election. I'm sure they would rather talk about something else, as this issue has been a thorn in their side for about 3 weeks now.
