Bogus Ballots

Bogus - Counterfeit or fake; not genuine: bogus money; bogus tasks. Yahoo! Dictionary

Beware of folks who call the truth 'sour grapes' when it gets in the way of their agenda. Counterfeit or fake results were used to certify the 2004 election in Bush-Cheney’s favor.

George Bush, the current president of the United States of America is bogus. The State of the Union was bogus because the man elected president based on winning the highest number of qualified electoral votes was not giving the address. The Ohio election was so corrupt it should have been disqualified. That the Ohio vote was not disqualified speaks to the level of corruption in the U.S. federal government. The blessing is we learned which elected and appointed officials stand with the people, and which stand with the corrupt federal government.

The evidence is powerful enough that if the Black American victims of this vote fraud were White Americans, it would evoke a cry so loud that it would send a shutter down the spine of America.

As you will learn when you read the report submitted to congress about the election, Jim Crow is alive and well. There are pictures of him in Ohio. He’s seen in the average 4-5 hour lines much of the time outdoors in bad weather, to vote in Black Democratic communities while it took 10 minutes to vote in others.

Our shattered democracy is in need of healing.

Please, read the compelling material presented to congress challenging the Ohio electors titled PRESERVING DEMOCRACY: WHAT WENT WRONG IN OHIO, Status Report of the House Judiciary Committee Democratic Staff. This 102 page report offers documentation on just how bad the system is broken and who is benefiting, using Ohio as an example. Share what you have learned and demand that your elected and appointed officials know that the people demand truth in the election process.

Preserving Democracy proves that there were so many voting problems in Ohio during the presidential election of 2004, it is impossible to get an accurate count. One person one vote is no longer how the president is chosen. The emperor is naked for all to see who choose to look at the evidence.

Preserving Democracy reveals many areas where the election in Ohio is seriously flawed: Conflicts of Interest; Voting Machine Placement – Pro Bush-Cheney; Spoiled Votes; Faulty Machines and Hanging Chads; Voter Intimidation and Mis-information; Disenfranchised Hundreds of Thousands of Ohio Citizens; Criminal Actions; and Computer Voting companies, Diebold and Triad, with ties to Bush-Cheney, castrating hundreds of thousands of votes.

Are we free or not? Does our vote count or not? Whose vote is slated to be stolen next? Like America learned while ignoring the CIA induced crack epidemic in the 1980’s, what happens in the Black community eventually makes it all through the country. Here’s a sampling of what you will learn in the report. I’ve kept footnote references in the quotes.

Secretary of State and Co-Chair of the Bush Cheney Ohio campaign, J. Kenneth Blackwell - Or the voting referee is the captain of one of the playing teams.

1. Voting Machine Placement – Pro Bush-Cheney

“There was a wide discrepancy between the availability of voting machines in more minority, Democratic and urban areas as compared to more Republican, suburban and exurban areas. Even on election day, urban areas were hard pressed to receive the critical machines to respond to the ever lengthening lines. According to a Washington Post investigation, “in Columbus, Cincinnati and Toledo, and on college campuses, election officials allocated far too few voting machines to busy precincts, with the result that voters stood on line as long as 10 hours – many leaving without voting.”79 Moreover, the Election Protection Coalition testified that more than half of the complaints about long lines they received “came from Columbus and Cleveland where a huge portion of the state’s Democratic voters live.” (page 24)

2. Spoiled Votes Faulty Machines and Hanging Chads

“Voters reported bizarre “glitches” in voting machines where votes for Senator Kerry were registered as votes for the President.6 The counting process was similarly chaotic and suspect.” (Page 8)

“We have received numerous reports of transfers of votes for Senator Kerry to votes for President Bush. Specifically, in Youngstown, the Washington Post reported that their investigation revealed 25 electronic machines transferred an unknown number of Kerry votes to the Bush column.229 Jeanne White, a veteran voter and manager at the Buckeye Review, an African American newspaper, stepped into the booth, pushed the button for Kerry – and watched her vote jump to the Bush column. “I saw what happened; I started screaming: ‘They’re cheating again and they’re starting early!”230 The Election Protection Coalition also confirmed these voting “glitches” noting that a “voter reported “Every time I tried to vote for the Democratic Party Presidential vote the machine went blank. I had to keep trying, it took 5 times” (page 52)

“Ohio had a significant number of spoiled votes – approximately 93,000.322 These are ballots in which either no presidential vote was recorded or multiple votes were indicated and therefore ignored. For example, someone may not have filled in his presidential choice dark enough for an optical scan machine to read, but did fill it in clearly enough to be a valid selection in a hand count.323 In addition, a punch card voter may not have punched completely through his choice, leaving a “chad” attached that could not be read by the tabulator. However, that same chad could be read in a hand count because Ohio law provides that hanging chads may be considered valid votes as long as two corners are detached.324

According to a New York Times investigation, “the problem [with spoiled ballots] was pronounced in minority areas, typically Kerry strongholds. In Cleveland ZIP codes where at least 85% of the population is black, precinct results show that one in 31 ballots registered no vote for president, more than twice the rate of largely white ZIP codes where one in 75 registered no vote for president. Election officials say that nearly 77,000 of the 96,000 [spoiled] ballots were punch cards.”325

One of the principal purposes of the recount in Ohio was to ascertain the intent of these 93,000 ballots. However, by manipulation or otherwise every county in Ohio but Coshocton County avoided completing a full hand recount. This means that the vast majority of these spoiled ballots will never be reviewed.” (page 70)


3. Voter Intimidation and Mis-information

Numerous incidents of voter intimidation and misinformation engaged in Ohio on election day likely violate the Voting Rights Act, the Civil Rights Act of 1968, and the Ohio right to vote. Mr. Blackwell’s apparent failure to institute a single investigation into these acts likely represents a violation of his statutory duty to investigate election misconduct.” (page 99)

4. Disenfranchised Hundreds of Thousands of Ohio Citizens

“With regards to our factual finding, in brief, we find that there were massive and unprecedented voter irregularities and anomalies in Ohio. In many cases these irregularities were caused by intentional misconduct and illegal behavior, much of it involving Secretary of State J. Kenneth Blackwell, the co-chair of the Bush-Cheney campaign in Ohio. First, in the run up to election day, the following actions by Mr. Blackwell, the Republican Party and election officials disenfranchised hundreds of thousands of Ohio citizens, predominantly minority and Democratic voters: (page 4)

5. Criminal Actions

“In addition, the Civil Rights Act of 1968 provides criminal penalties for violations of civil rights, rights, including interference with the right to vote. Specifically, section 245 of title 18 makes it a crime for any person who “by force or threat of force willfully injures, intimidates or interferes with, or attempts to injure, intimidate or interfere with any person because he is or has been, or in order to intimidate such person or any other person or any class of persons from voting or qualifying to vote....”.(page 15)

“The Ohio Republican Party attempted to engage in “caging,” whereby it sent registered letters to newly registered voters in minority and urban areas, and then sought to challenge 35,000 individuals who refused to sign for the letters or the mail otherwise came back as undeliverable (this includes voters who were homeless, serving abroad, or simply did not want to sign for something concerning the Republican Party). Mark Weaver, an attorney for the Ohio Republican Party, acknowledged the Party used this technique.167 During a hearing before the Summit County Board of Elections, a challenger admitted that she had no knowledge to substantiate her claim that the voters she was challenging were out of compliance with Ohio’s election law:168 “(page 40)

“These incidents of voter intimidation and misinformation clearly violate the Voting Rights Act, the Civil Rights Act of 1968, Equal Protection, Due Process and the Ohio right to vote. The fact that Secretary Blackwell did not initiate a single investigation into these many serious allegations may represent a violation of his statutory duty to investigate election irregularities. Cases of intimidation and misinformation such as we have seen in Ohio appear to have become a regular feature of our election landscape and would appear to warrant the development of a stronger investigative and law enforcement system than we have at present, at both the state and federal levels.300 “(page 65)

6. Computer Voting Companies with Ties to Bush-Cheney

A. Diebold

“Diebold, whose CEO, Walden O’Dell, is a member of President Bush’s Pioneer and Ranger team, has visited the Crawford ranch and wrote a letter promising to deliver the electoral votes of Ohio.” (page 66)

“The Board made the alterations to the ballot after determining the intent of the voters. Following a lunch break during the recount, the Board kept recount observers waiting while a technician from the Diebold company reprogrammed the machine.” (page 95)

B. Triad

“The voting computer company Triad has essentially admitted that it engaged in a course of behavior during the recount in numerous counties to provide “cheat sheets” to those counting the ballots. The cheat sheets informed election officials how many votes they should find for each candidate, and how many over and under votes they should calculate to match the machine count. In that one has to be somewhat suspect.” (page 7) Is that why Karl Rove ‘knew’ the exit polls were wrong?

“According to the affidavit, the Triad official sought access to the voting machinery based on the apparent pretext that he wanted to review some “legal questions” Ohio voting officials might receive as part of the recount process. At several times during his interaction with Hocking County voting machines, Mr. Barbian telephoned into Triad’s offices to obtain programming information relating to the machinery and the precinct in question. It is now known that Triad officials have intervened in other counties in Ohio - Greene and Monroe, and perhaps others.
In fact, Mr. Barbian himself has admitted to altering tabulating software in Hocking, Lorain, Muskingum, Clark, Harrison and Guernsey counties.387 Todd Rapp, President of Triad, also has confirmed that these sorts of changes are standard procedure for his company.388” (page 81)

Of course there is no evidence when you refuse to look at it. Without Ohio’s cooked election books factored in the mix, John Kerry won based on achieving the highest number of qualified electoral votes.

“In addition, a challenge has been filed to the Ohio results asserting, to a level of sworn proof beyond a reasonable doubt, that Senator Kerry, not President Bush, was the actual victor of the Presidential race in Ohio. Kenneth Blackwell is adamantly refusing to answer any questions under oath in regard to election irregularities or results. He is apparently counting upon Congress accepting the votes of the electors and, as an immediate consequence, the Ohio Supreme Court dismissing the citizens' election contest.” (page 10)

There’s a lot more information in PRESERVING DEMOCRACY: WHAT WENT WRONG IN OHIO, Status Report of the House Judiciary Committee Democratic Staff, which I again encourage you to read. Despite the lies on the congressional floor that everything seemed to be in order regarding the electoral vote from Ohio, it was not. It’s not too late to fix this. It can be said “upon further evaluation, the Ohio vote is not in order and should be disqualified. The President and Vice President are Kerry-Edwards.” The sound of JOY would sweep across the land.

The time for the great change is here. We are overcoming now.

Gary Webb: An American Hero Murdered?

In the mid 1990’s a series of articles written by Gary Webb were published in the San Jose Mercury News about why so much crack appeared on the urban streets of America in the mid 1980's. It contained answers to the question of how so many people, what seemed like the best and brightest, were suddenly addicted to the deadly drug.

“According to the San Jose Mercury News, (Webb’s Report) Nicaraguan Contras, run by the CIA, delivered tons of cut-rate cocaine to a young Los Angeles drug dealer named "Freeway" Rick Ross. Ross, a street-wise drug dealer of mythic reputation, turned the cocaine into crack and supplied the Crips and Bloods street gangs, which saturated the market with crack and used the profits to arm themselves with automatic weapons. The Crips and Bloods developed chapters throughout the west. Ross later moved to Cincinnati and helped spread the crack epidemic across the country. Cocaine was supplied to Ross by Oscar Danilo Blandon Reyes, former leader of the guerrilla army named the Fuerza Democratica Nicaraguense (Nicaraguan Democratic Force) or FDN. Blandon used the millions of dollars paid to him by Ross to buy weapons and equipment for his anticommunist army that unsuccessfully tried to overthrow Nicaragua's Sandinista government in the 1980s. "It is one of the most bizarre alliances in modern history: the union of a U.S.-backed army attempting to overthrow a revolutionary socialist government and Uzi-toting 'gangstas' of Compton and South Central Los Angeles," the Mercury News reported.”

Gary Webb was the author of the articles explaining how crack took over urban America so quickly. That’s why I call him an American hero because he brought the truth to the American people at great cost to himself.

The case of the death of Gary Webb has all the ear marks of a murder, not a suicide, with a government cover-up possibility. In case you feel the language is too strong, check out what happened to Webb, whose book, Dark Alliance : The CIA, the Contras, and the Crack Cocaine Explosion, looks deep into Iran Contra. Webb's book provides documentation that the U.S. government during the Reagan years was responsible for the explosion of crack in the 1980's. He said he had more information to reveal.

Gary Webb was a journalist. Something was done to verify the material he presented. It's called the Iran Contra Affair.

Freeway Rick in Los Angeles, who is in jail for his role, has admitted to coordinating the efforts.

"There are no poppy fields in Harlem," is a line from the movie “New Jack City” that still is true.

The suicide story goes that Webb shot himself twice in the head after leaving a note for the moving men. As a reporter, words were important to him. If he was going to commit suicide he would not have left a note to the moving men that read, "Please do not enter. Call 911 and ask for an ambulance." People ask for 9/11 when they are trying to live. If his determination to die was so great that he shot himself twice in the head, he would have saved 9/11 a trip and asked for the coroner to be sent.

I’ve witnessed the effects of crack since the 1980's and have over the years lost many folks to the pandemic no matter what I did. Elected and appointed officials refused to deal with the subject in Harlem, treating it like they were treating AIDS. I now see, after viewing the material of Al Sharpton meeting with mob folks over drugs, who Harlem's leadership was meeting with. I was told it was not their problem as they played another record on the radio or asked for another donation.

Crack was introduced in a gentle way. It usually happened when a person was over their head in an emotional situation, like the death of a loved one, and was casually offered crack as a way not to feel all the pain in the moment. Or as a party favor shared by folks who thought the host was their friend or family.

Most did not understand what it was the first time they hit it. Within a few days, addiction would set in, another customer. Many reported that the only time after the first few free hits they got free crack again was when they were trying to quit.

The only folks I know who broke the addiction did so through the Lord. The rest are hopelessly lost, still.

Here's some of the material available for your review.

From The Nation:

"Webb's tale is a sad one. He was on to something but botched part of how he handled it. He then was blasted and ostracized. He was wrong on some important details but he was, in a way, closer to the truth than many of his establishment media critics who neglected the story of the real CIA-contra-cocaine connection.

In 1998, a CIA inspector general's report acknowledged that the CIA had indeed worked with suspected drugrunners while supporting the contras. A Senator named John Kerry had investigated these links years earlier, and the media had mostly ignored his findings. After Webb published his articles, the media spent more time crushing Webb than pursuing the full story.

It is only because of Webb's work--as flawed as it was--that the CIA IG inquiry happened. So, then, it is only because of Webb that US citizens have confirmation from the CIA that it partnered up with suspected drug traffickers in the just-say-no years and that the Reagan Administration, consumed with a desire to overthrow the Sandinistas in Nicaragua, allied itself with drug thugs."

From the Portland Independent Media Center:

"A quick reiteration of the official obituary waffle is as follows: reported first, a suicide with multiple wounds to the head, then a suicide with a wound to the head, then there's a speculated shotgun wound to the face, by Mike Ruppert, because of a verbal report, given to Ruppert from the coroner's office implying that Webb's face was beyond recognition , and finally 2 wounds to the head with a .38 caliber revolver.
Incidentally his gun was kept in the nightstand next to his bed. It was his Dad's gun. Nice touch of detail here. But what does it tell us? Maybe, Gary was concerned, because he had been the recipient of death threats? Maybe that's the REAL reason he had a gun in a drawer next to his bed. According to an informative and revealing article /audio segment, on Alex Jone's Prison Planet website, Gary did indeed have something to be very worried about: Ricky Ross, one of Gary Webb's primary sources had spoken to Gary in the days before his death. Gary told Ricky that he had seen men scaling down the pipes outside his home and that they were obviously not burglars but 'government people'. Gary also told Ricky that he had been receiving death threats and was being regularly followed. It was also mentioned that Gary was working on a new story concerning the CIA and drug trafficking.

Moreover, why was there so much confusion about the method and number of wounds? Was it that difficult to sort out? Or was something else going-on? I really liked the potshot in the final obituary about the feverish conspiracy theorists on the internet who had been calling the coroner's office, demanding to know the number of wounds Webb ACTUALLY sustained. Now trying to determine factual details based on confused reports makes you a conspiracy theorist. Move on folks, nothing to see here! "

The Media Awareness Project has listed an article from the San Francisco Bay Guardian explaining the terror Webb was living with in this interview.

"...Then the Mercury publicly disowned the story-without ever giving Webb or readers a convincing reason why. The paper's editors had encouraged Webb in his research, but in the firestorm that followed "Dark Alliance"'s publication they retracted their support for the series. After the controversy, the Merc, which is owned by media giant Knight-Ridder, exiled Webb from its Sacramento bureau to the police beat in Cupertino. Webb left the paper and expanded "Dark Alliance" into a book of the same name.

Just published by Seven Stories, it reinforces Webb's investigations with newly uncovered evidence. But the mainstream media are ignoring this new evidence too: the Post, the New York Times, and the L.A. Titnes have all ignored Webb's book-no reviews, no news stories, no coverage at all.

But as Rep. Maxine Waters ( who wrote a strong introduction for the book ) told me, "Gary Webb has uncovered one of the dirtiest little secrets of the Reagan administration -that we, as a government, introduced a drug to America's inner cities that is literally killing thousands of kids, and that we did it purely for short-term political gain in support of a cause that didn't deserve our support in any way.

For reporting that, Webb lost his job. But the book provides vindication." We interviewed Webb by telephone while he was in Seattle promoting his book. Bay Guardian: Did you do much new reporting and research for the book after the series ran?

Gary Webb: A lot of stuff came out after the series ran. We got 3,000 pages of new documents from the L.A. Sheriff's Department's investigation that was just amazing. Probably 90 percent of the book is new.

BG: What were your most interesting or unexpected new findings?

GW: Some of the most interesting is the stuff the Mercurys News chickened out on and wouldn't run. What was going on in the DEA's office in Costa Rica, where the U.S. drug agents were supposed to be investigating drug crimes but were either looking the other way or, as a customs investigation found, were trafficking drugs themselves. This conspiracy went farther than the CIA. It was so liberating to have the chance to lay out everything you have in context and explain to people why it matters.

BG: How did you get the new information?

GW: FOIA requests, tips, and the CIA Inspector General's January report. And anytime you do a big story people come out of the woodwork, and we had a number of those --specifically this fellow Enrique Miranda, who was an aide to drug lord Norwin Meneses.

BG: One of the main criticisms of the series was that you didn't have a smoking gun. Do you think you have one now?

GW: When you're dealing with the CIA, you're lucky to find any f*cking paper at all, much less a smoking gun. You're never going to find a CIA memo that says, "Go sell crack in L.A." So you have to gather as much evidence as you can, take a good hard look at what you've got, and a legitimate conclusion can become very obvious.

BG: Why do you think the mainstream press --from your own paper to the Washington Post, the L.A. Times, and the New York Times -- went so far out of their way to discredit your series?

GW: Because it's a very dangerous story. It makes people think bad things about their country and their government. Newspapers will let you think bad things about a certain politician, but when you start questioning the foundations of our democracy they say, "He's a troublemaker, a zealot, a maniac."

BG: Were there any valid criticisms that you went back and reconfirmed, or any holes that you subsequently filled?

GW: Sure, absolutely. I've said all along that some parts of that series should have been explained more fully. It was accurate but incomplete. What I tried to do with the book is show all the other evidence that we couldn't get into the newspaper, or were actually prohibited from writing for the newspaper. Initially it was a problem of space, but in the end it was self-censorship on behalf of Mercury News management.

BG: Do you think the decision was made in Knight-Ridder's super-headquarters, or was it strictly Merc management?

GW: I don't know, but I do know Knight-Ridder has backed the decision all the way. I think the thing that frightened them the most about my story was that suddenly there was this whole reactivation of activist black groups getting together and demanding some political changes in Washington. And I think, honest to God, that they were more scared by the Senate Intelligence Committee hearings than anything, when hundreds of citizens actually showed up to watch their government in action and started hooting at the antics they were witnessing. It scared the living hell out of them.

BG: So what happens next? Do you hope Congress finally moves to do a full investigations?

GW: I think we may actually create enough pressure to force the government to release the rest of the reports we've done on this. The public has to get riled up, though, or the government won't do anything. I've been told that the key 600-page report on this, the one that contains the secret agreement between the Justice Department and the CIA allowing the CIA not to report drug trafficking, will never be released, will never be declassified. I don't imagine the CIA will ever be very eager to let that one loose."

Here's the final piece for why I believe Gary Webb's death was a murder and a possible cover-up.

He died around December 9, 2004. I can't find the official report on line.

The Sacramento County Coroner's Office website says:

"The Sacramento County Coroner's Office is mandated by the California Government Code § 27491 et seq. to determine the circumstances, manner, and cause of sudden or unexplained deaths in Sacramento County....

When a death appears to be from natural causes, the cause of death may be available after 11:00 a.m. the morning following the death. However, when the death is the result of a homicide, suicide, automobile accident, and in many natural deaths, the cause of death will not be available for several weeks because the forensic pathologist will order toxicology tests. This does not delay the release of the body."

Yet, in the case of the death of Gary Webb the Associated Press reported:

"Gary Webb, Reporter Who Linked CIA to Drug Sales, Dead at 49
The Associated Press Published: Dec 12, 2004

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - Gary Webb, a Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter who wrote a controversial series of stories linking the CIA to crack cocaine trafficking in Los Angeles, has died at age 49.
Webb was found Friday morning at his home in Sacramento County, dead of an apparent suicide. Moving-company workers called authorities after discovering a note posted on his front door that read, "Please do not enter. Call 911 and ask for an ambulance."

Webb died of a gunshot wound to the head, according to the Sacramento County coroner's office."

My question is if the tests are not in for weeks, why the rush to say it was a suicide double gunshot wound to the head? I've been trying to understand why he would leave a note telling the moving men to call 9/11 and send an ambulance when he was determined enough to shoot himself in the head twice.

I received an e-mail from "From The Wildnerness:" in response to my questioning, which is where the first report of shotgun use came from.

FTW staff "Admin" 1/31/05

"Gary Webb knew very well that police offcers cannot declare a homicide or suicide crime scene until the victim is pronounced dead. Police officers cannot pronounce death. Only doctors and paramedics. Therefore the logical step is to always contact paramedics first and they are the first to enter the secne after a body is discovered.

It's simple."

Without access to the official reports with supporting documentation, I really don't know if it's simple. How can anybody know? Like any good reporter, I look at who benefits most when something like this happens. Webb was about to get rich from his book. A sitting congress person wrote the intro. He had just sold his house so he was probably sitting on some cash. Even if he had nothing, money was coming. He was an in demand speaker who finally was stepping on stage to talk about his work. In other words, he was a man with a purpose. Suicide makes no sense here. If he just spoke about what was proven in Iran Contra, he had plenty of material to work with. The flaw is not with the truth.

What information did Gary have about folks in the Reagan administration and crack that was new? Where are they now? Why would anybody want to murder Gary Webb?

The inventor Bruce DePalma once wrote "Truth has a ring to it which is unmistakable to those in search of it." The government story just doesn't ring true to me. Does it ring true to you?

Yep, Another Stolen Election.

George Bush did not win the election. He didn't win the last one either.

The Ohio vote was proven corrupt to congress by Congress people Stephanie Tubbs Jones, Maxine Waters, John Conyers, Cynthia McKinney, Jesse Jackson Jr., Major Owens and others in January 2005. If you have not seen their proof, please click here to download the report. To those in congress, the senate, and the vote warriors who fought so hard to bring the truth to light, my eternal gratitude.

This election stunk from before November 2, 2004. Votes without paper trails, "spoilage of votes," conflicts of interest, etc. Everything was not as it appeared to be. Things did not seem in order. The election and the inauguration are bogus. It's time for a reality check.

The Ohio vote was not in order and should have been disqualified due to evidence of voter fraud, giving Kerry/Edwards the majority of the electoral vote. Kerry was right when he said his name should have been on the inaguration program. The vast majority of congress people and senators voted against the truth and gave the presidency to Bush again, without any proof that he won. None needed. This has got to change.

For example, the Ohio co-chair of the Bush re-election committee was the one who placed more voting machines in pro Bush areas, where there was a 10 minute wait to vote and fewer in pro Kerry areas, where it took hours to vote. Yet, based on results, much of congress is so corrupt to the point that they pretend not to know the truth in order to serve the liars in the white house.

I say liars in the white house based on results. The president and Dr. Rice did have advance warning about planes being used in terrorist attacks. Despite them altering the EPA report, there is danger in the dust from 9/11. There were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. No Child Left Behind is leaving children behind in droves.

Despite heroic efforts of folks to bring the proof to light, like in Nazi Germany, lies are accepted as truth to create policies that are killing us. George Carlin was right when he called President Bush an 'oil pimp.'

In case you feel the language is too strong, check out what happened to Gary Webb, whose book, Dark Alliance : The CIA, the Contras, and the Crack Cocaine Explosion, looks deep into Iran Contra. Webb's book provides proof that the U.S. government is responsible for the explosion of crack in the 1980's.

The report is Webb committed suicide in December 2004. As soon as I can find the results from the coroners office, not what Mike 'get over 9/11' Ruppert reported from the coroners office, I'll post that article.

Nazi's kill those who oppose them, which is one of the reasons I ask.

The fix is deep. The only Senator with a clean soul is Barbara Boxer. The only Black senator (I mean Negro) voted against the entire civil rights movement in his first week when he supported this corrupt administration by voting to certify the Ohio vote. I was surprised by that, but then he approved Dr. Rice as Secretary of State. Any thinking person who was National Security Advisor with 9/11 happening on their watch would have resigned, based on them not advising the nation of this national security issue that resulted in the deaths of thousands. That's called not doing your job.

Yet, Dr. Rice is recommended for promotion as the news media reports her 'special relationship' with the president. Does she have access to more than the president's ear? What integrity was she talking about during her recent hearings? I thank God that Senator Kerry has finally gotten back into the fight and that Michael Moore has taken off that "stupid white men" costume he wore on the Tonight Show...it was giving me nightmares.

So what's next? "March on until victory is won." Remember Watergate. The Lord is still walking here.

In the words of Gandhi, 'Do not participate in anything you believe is evil.' There are reasons that the President of the United States has to have a criminal attorney.

Let's ask ourselves, what are we pretending not to know, and why?

Demand only truth of ourselves and our world in issues of importance, like elections, environment, education, economics, health and safety.

It is time to reach beyond national borders. They are just an illusion anyway. There is the land and the water. There is one race, human, with good and bad folks. Anything else is just a divide and conquer drama in process.

Most importantly, pray and meditate at least some of the time. Napoleon Hill was right when he wrote in his classic Think and Grow Rich, "What the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve." Peace on earth to people of good will.

We are overcoming now.

Nope, Not One Damn Dime

We the people have to take our country back in a non-violent, effective way. The best way to send an effective message to the folks in charge is through their wallet.

Citizens for Legitimate Government is calling for everyone to spend less in response to the election and NOT ONE DAMN DIME spent on inauguration day. Black Thursday is calling for folks to not go to work or participate in the system if possible on January 20,2005. Write your elected and appointed officials, media, family and friends and tell them what you are doing and why. These are powerful next steps.

Special interests, like those found in the White House, are polluting the planet in an effort to fill their pockets. America spends more than $100 billion to kill innocent people in Iraq, and $350 million on the tsunami crisis that hurt more than a billion people. In modern times, money speaks louder than humanity. 'Taint fittin. Just 'taint fittin.'

Economic boycott is a strategy used by the Civil Rights Movement during the last century. Nothing else that folks did mattered to the people who were oppressing Black folks. Folks died, marched, reasoned, sacrificed, joined groups, wrote letters and editorials, even books, to no avail. Jim Crow still ruled. Southern trees still bore the strange fruit.

At the foundation of the success of Rosa Park's bus boycott, was the economic impact it was having on the area. The moment there was a unified financial protest, begun by Rosa Parks stopping the bus she was on; ending money changing hands for that time, in that bus, there was change. An honest dialogue was begun.

The most effective voice of the Will of the American People is no longer the vote, though I pray it will be restored to its rightful function. The most effective voice of the Will of the American People is the dollar, which is real shaky these days anyway. Even this short 24 hour protest could send shock waves around the world.

I'm a patent holding inventor and I can assure you that creating great change, like what is going on now, requires that certain techniques be re-applied, just a little differently.

We have the web. We have each other. This is doable. We will have taken our power back by non-participation. Mahatma Gandhi said "do not participate in anything you believe is evil." Based on results, war, economy in crisis, environmental chaos on a global scale, etc. the Bush Administration is evil...has been going all the way back to Hitler's banker in the United States, GrandPa Prescott Bush.

We're using a truth razor here while sending a message. By truth razor I mean ONLY THE TRUTH IS TRUE. There is truthful proof of fraud in the Ohio 2004 presidential election.

Tell a friend. Alert the media.

Help them understand what just happened:

Vote fraud in Ohio on a grand scale,

Allocation of voting machines that favored one candidate,

Harassment of voters,

Voting machines without paper trails,

"Spoilage", etc.

There is video of the long voting lines in Ohio.

The Congressional Black Caucus report is called:

"Preserving Democracy: What Went Wrong in Ohio: A Status Report of the House Judiciary Committee Democratic Staff."

Please participate in NOT ONE DAMN DIME on inauguration day and the Grand Refusal proposed by Citizens for Legitimate Government. Share any ideas and actions that you feel can help bring the world back in alignment with the highest good for all concerned. Sending a message through the economy worked before and it will work again. We may have to do it more than once, but it does work.

It doesn't matter if no more than just us do it. Let the truth stand for what it is. If folks are not committed to ending the slaughter, co-creating peace and prosperity on earth for all, then that is the message they are sending by spending. Their vote counts too.

An ***hole is a person who thinks the universe revolves around their ***. They have a right to be here and voice their pro killing stance too.

There are many more good people here than selfish ones. By good I mean are not behind murder, torture and greed. "A'sinner' is one who loves evil" said St. Bernadette. When the good people speak at the same time in one financial voice, change will come.

Those of us with the sacred knowledge of how to use a computer have a responsibility to spread the word both on line and to the non-computerized segments of our society. There are still a lot of folks who just don’t know what’s going on.

The majority of the congress, senate and media should be ashamed of themselves. My senator, John McCain, rather than take a stand, reported for jury duty here in Arizona, though he did not serve on a jury. He chose not to be in D.C. to say Black votes count too. Senator Kerry was in the Middle East, rather than stand with Black folks. And Sen. Barack Obama voted against the whole civil rights fight for every vote to be counted as he stood with Bush and voted against the electoral challenge of 2005. In less politically correct times, we had names for Black folks who stood with the oppressor against the oppressed.

Finally, my most profound thanks to Congress people Stephanie Tubbs Jones, Maxine Waters, John Conyers, Cynthia McKinney, Jesse Jackson Jr., Major Owens, Senator Barbara Boxer, and the others who stood on the congressional floor and called this election like it is, dirty. I am also eternally grateful to all who worked, organized, wrote, e-mailed, marched, prayed, researched, testified, risked their job to speak on the issue, etc. in this difficult process called restoring integrity to the voting process.

Don’t let the bushwacker fool you. NOT ONE DAMN DIME , Black Thursday and the Grand Refusal called for by Citizens for Legitimate Government are powerful steps.

We are overcoming now.

Greed, Corruption - Not One Damn Dime

Next step in the process is NOT ONE DAMN DIME on inauguration day. Spend before or after, but please not on that day.

Like greed, corruption too is killing this country. There is corruption in the election process, in the military contract award process, corruption in the media that calls an election before the voting machines are opened, ignoring exit polls, and corruption in the White House with lies about 9/11. The congress people and senators who voted that minority votes don't count should be ashamed of themselves. Many did not even show up for the vote. I'm sure our forefathers, including the 5 Black Presidents, (Jefferson, Jackson, Lincoln, Harding and Coolidge) are raging in their graves.

I watched the electoral approval process. I am even more ashamed to be an American, though I am proud of the Americans who stood up for integrity in elections.

The decision to give the president 4 more years was based on "seems to be" and "appears" electoral integrity. I watched most of congress pretend not to know that there is a problem with the integrity of the voting process. Even Congressman Charles Rangel was silent. Yet, how could politicians who benefit from the corrupt election system, that keeps incumbents coming back while innocent people are slaughtered in the name of safety, speak out against it.

Did anyone hear anything about truth of the vote being factored in when calling off the electoral results? Once, the Tubbs/Boxer challenge of Ohio. With all that evidence of fraud, the election results were approved. Why? Not because of an accurate count of the vote. Somebody please explain to me how can one do a recount without a verifiable paper trail. I've been on computers since 1977. These machines can be programmed to say anything.

The lies flew thorough the objections to the objection. I don't remember the many names folks were called. One lie was that the left has no positive, constructive ideas. Yet it is the left who is proposing:

Votes with receipts.

Fair distribution of the voting machines.

Uniform voting system and requirements.

Restoration of one man one vote.

An honest media restored to the airwaves that use to belong to the people, but were taken away from us without notice, and now belongs to the special interests too.

I'm from the left with good, constructive ideas that have been ignored for up to twenty years. The process is called break your leg and call you a cripple.

Though I've done a lot of non-profit work, I can't be a 501(c)3 organization because, like the NAACP was recently reminded, there is no way I am not going to be political. Still, I was able to train over 3,000 folks in the 90's how to use a computer. I could have done so much more, but as I learned, poverty pimps need poverty to pimp and the training was helping folks get jobs, start their own business, or go back to school.

I have a patented ergonomic solution to computer induced repetitive stress injuries. 15 years later my intense computer injuries, (repetitive stress, carpal tunnel, neck, back and shoulder pain) never returned, and I type a lot and fast. Yet, OSHA tests Microsoft Natural Keyboard and ignores my CompUrest.

I am not alone. There are many other voices of the left with good ideas that have been ignored and/or radically unfunded.

Bruce DePalma (DePalma, Free Energy and the N-Machine) created a magnetic generator that works with a Faraday Motor to create free, clean energy. The government ignored him and funded the Super Collider.

Niro Markoff Asistent healed herself of AIDS in 1986. She's been ignored by the medical community every since. Her book, WHY I SURVIVE AIDS is out of print in America yet, is available as an e-book and on line for free.

What those in power call health care is a sick joke. Rather than focusing on how to make fewer sick people by cleaning up the environment, the food supply, the hospitals (secondary infections picked up in a hospital are one of the leading causes of death in America) and making life less stressful, the conversation is about money for the already rich while capping insurance awards to victims of modern medicine.

The only way to solve this problem is to look within for leadership. John Kerry lied and said help was on the way, yet when the chips were down he left the country when some of the members of the Congressional Black Caucus tried to stand for election integrity. Michael Moore, rather than calling for action in the post election era, dressed up like a “Stupid White Man” on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Hundreds of millions of dollars between them, followed by silence on voter fraud. I’m not blaming, just trying to understand. My bad for expecting something better.

Yet, we also witnessed outstanding actions by many citizens trying to overturn the election, many listed in this series. To all who helped, from letters, calls and e-mails to marching, organizing and testifying, my deepest gratitude. The America I love is still here. She's just not the one in charge now.

We must stop pretending not to know that the government is killing us and not even listening to the will of the people. If they were, every vote would count. If they were, then state votes for medical marijuana would be upheld.

I’m old enough to know that everything happens for a reason. Maybe the reason the president “won” another term is so that his already hired criminal lawyer can have some work for a sitting president and his crew. No wonder the presidential cabinet looks like a sinking ship in a tsunami.

Remember NOT ONE DAMN DIME on inauguration day.

We are overcoming now.

What To Do About Election Fraud

To quote one of the greatest artists of all time, Aretha Franklin,

“YOU’D BETTER THINK.”

The evidence is too precise to ignore.

No way George Bush won either election, and this one, based on results, is the dirtiest we know about.

I've lived in Arizona since 2000, having lived in New York City for 25 years earlier. New Yorkers are one of the fastest growing demographics in this state. There is no way I can see that Arizona went for Bush. Not if there was an honest count. Turns out, AZ is one of the dirtest election states in the Union. Red states and Blue states is a divide and conquer illusion being put in our face. Now is the time to unify and take a stand for truth.

The real battle at the moment is in Ohio. If there is anything you can do to help out in Ohio, do it now, please. RecountOhio.org. is running ads on the situation.

There are planned gatherings of citizens on January 3- 6, 2005 around the United States, telling Congresspeople and Senators to not certify the election , due to evidence of voting fraud.

Take the time necessary and think about the impact this corrupt government is having on our lives. Our environment is being trashed, we have failed to fund successful, clean and "free energy" alternatives, our children are being drugged and left behind based on international scoring standards, our food supply is polluted with many chemicals that cause harm, medicines designed to heal are killing in record numbers, many of our citizens are in prison for non-violent crimes, our transportation infrastructure is falling apart, and worst of all, America is still going around the world killing innocent people in the name of making ourselves safe. A corrupt system is producing a corrupt world.

It's time to clean it up. Do your research about "voting fraud" and "stolen election." Support those in leadership positions to clean up the voting process. Contact your elected and appointed officals about the need to restore integrity to the voting process. Enlist the participation of your crew. Create joy in the process. Here's your broom.

1. Research your own list of links that you have found with evidence of election fraud. My favorite is still the Boston Globe report that maps reports of voter fraud by state. To stay up to date, do daily news searches for (or sign up for news alerts on) “election fraud” or “voter fraud” or “stolen election.” It’s not just a United States problem.

To find the truth one has to look deeper than the corporate media , though they are coming around to reporting the truth, led by the Countdown crew on MSNBC.

The best source for information is currently found on the web. For example check out Bradblog for the video of a testimony about election fraud. It is dangerous to pretend not to know what is really going on now. BreakForNews, Black Box Voting.org, Citizens for a Legitimate Government, MoveOn.Org, Common Cause and others are keeping folks up to date on what’s really going on and how to make it better.

2. Support folks who are working on the issue of election fraud. Especially by participating in e-mail campaigns, filling out as many pro election verification pages as you can. Participate in surveys that give total election overhall as an option. As you do your research support those whose work you respect. There are many links throught this election series of blogs for consideration, as well as the election related links on the right.

The next steps in the process need to happen before the election's congressional approval on January 6, 2005.

The Congressional Black Caucus challenged the president’s approval in January 2001 based on evidence of election fraud. They already have enough to make their case from the hearings in Ohio. They have asked that rather than send them support, contact others and tell them about election fraud.

It was reported over the Christmas Holiday that John Kerry is getting into the spirit of true democracy and preparing to challenge. It is time to take our country back from the rule of the special interests. There is so much dirt here that I’m now questioning election results going back much farther than this presidential election, including various congressional and primary races.

Support and encourage your senators, congresspeople, electors and others to stand with the C.B.C. in their challenge of the election certification. There is a sample Declaration of Intent link with ideas for what to do when contacting your elected and appointed officials.

3. Contact your elected and appointed officials via e-mail. Tell them how you voted and demand an accurate count of the votes. If they can’t prove it they have to re do it. Quick on line contact lists that you can send updates to between now and Jan 6th can be found for your

Congresspersons
Senators
Governor
National Association of Secretaries of State.
Electors

There is a lot of great information available on the web. Copy, paste and forward web addresses, articles, quotes and ideas you have - or find of interest - to those in positions to restore integrity to the voting system. Send the folks in charge something new every day about election fraud until the truth is restored. E-mail and web forms make it easy. Remember to verify what you read. These are the days of disinformation. Don't get caught up in what happened to Dan Rather who unknowingly used some of the disinformation out there without realizing it was the rotten apple thrown into the barrel. People of the Lie are tricky.

4. Enlist your media, friends, family, neighbors and prayer groups in the work of restoring integrity to our voting system now. It’s time to Lift Every Voice And Sing.

Be careful with the media. They were reporting George Bush won Arizona before the voting machines were open, let alone the votes counted.

The times have changed. In the industrial age it was easy to hide the process from the electorate. Those in power could say whatever they wanted about how the election came out. Stories about voting problems could be buried in a controlled media that even had the choice of what candidates could be heard in a national forum like the presidential debates.

But in the information age, the truth razor can set things right.

A Course In Miracles – Workbook – Lesson 66. Paragraph 10, 6-8:

On one side stand all illusions.
All truth stands on the other.
Let us try today to realize that only the truth is true.

The truth is there is election fraud. The government is "spoiling" votes and that's not right. Only an honest count of the vote should award the job of President of the United States of America. Anything less we are setting ourselves up for an unnecessary slaughter. That’s just a plain stupid strategy.

5. Create Joy - while spending less. Live from what is truly important in life, including but not limited to health, love, truth and freedom. Share the joy of truth restored to the voting system and the problems it will solve. The truth will put the right person into office. The time for new and dynamic thought has arrived. We have ways to solve the problems we are facing like AIDS, peak oil, honest government and health care. We need to be working positively on this and other issues, like solving the crack induced crisis caused by the CIA’s distribution of the drug in the 1980’s, i.e. Iran Contra , so save your contact lists for post election season.

One more thing. Watch for the Lord to walk through this election process. Great change can come quickly based on a series of ordinary miracles, like truth. If the truth is that George Bush won the presidency based on the votes, so be it. But in the words of Bruce DePalma, 'truth has a ring to it which is unmistakable to those in search of it.' I hope Michael Moore is making a movie on this election fraud situation too.

I am praying for divine restoration of the voting system. I am praying for every soul, every day. I am praying for us, the One, that is all.

Peace on earth to people of good will.

Electoral College Campaign

The United States government can’t prove the accuracy of the vote, with phrases like "spoilage of some votes" (mostly Black American votes), discouragement of some voters, voting tapes found in the trash can in Florida, and the president’s state election co-chair is the Secretary of State , the main voting cop in Ohio. Since they can’t prove it, they are going to have to re do it, unless we find another way.

As citizens, we must demand an accurate accounting of the vote. We hire an accounting firm for an awards show, and fail to achieve an accurate counting of the vote. We can count a dollar down to a tenth of a penny (like at the gas station) but can’t produce an accurate vote count with a verifiable paper trail. We can’t pretend to be that stupid. We the People have the Power to get the Electoral College to do the right thing. With the web, we have the tools.

The Electoral College met and the president was declared the winner. Yet, there is positive movement whereby the New York Times, the Washington Post, Congressman John Conyers, Rev. Jessie Jackson and most importantly, Sen. John Kerry are now looking into the matter of voter fraud. It isn't over until Congress approves and Sen. Kerry could be the one senator to stand with the Congressional Black Caucus come president approval time.

There is still time to make a change by demanding an honest count of the vote. Research what's going on and talk about the results.

The Electoral College (EC) says "There is no Constitutional provision or Federal law requiring electors to vote in accordance with the popular vote in their States." Some States have such requirements. It’s time for a campaign directly to the members of the EC to restore integrity to the voting process. Many states electors are not bound to the voting results.

Gathering the evidence (much is available on line) that this election was corrupt, and making a case to the electors to vote the Will of the People, and not the Will of the Government, could solve our short term problem, our corrupt election system. There is much to do after this.

Campaigns in the dirtiest states are those with 15 or more alleged incidents per 100,000 votes on the Boston Globe list. They include (state-electoral votes) AZ-10. GA-15., IL-21, LA-9, MO-11, NJ-15, NY-31, PA-21, TX-34

Where I live, Arizona, we only have 10 electoral voters (EV), but an on line campaign of citizens contacting their EV, over the country may make a difference. It doesn’t matter if they went Bush or Kerry. That’s not the point. Each voter needs to make it known to their EV, how they voted and demand an appropriate reaction.

This idea is based on information from the Electoral College site:

"No Legal Requirement

Electors in these States are not bound by State Law to cast their vote for a specific candidate:
ARIZONA - 10 Electoral Votes ARKANSAS - 6 Electoral Votes DELAWARE - 3 Electoral Votes GEORGIA - 15 Electoral Votes IDAHO - 4 Electoral Votes ILLINOIS - 21 Electoral Votes INDIANA - 11 Electoral Votes IOWA - 7 Electoral Votes KANSAS - 6 Electoral Votes KENTUCKY - 8 Electoral Votes LOUISIANA - 9 Electoral Votes MINNESOTA - 10 Electoral Votes MISSOURI - 11 Electoral Votes NEW HAMPSHIRE - 4 Electoral Votes NEW JERSEY - 15 Electoral Votes NEW YORK - 31 Electoral Votes NORTH DAKOTA - 3 Electoral Votes PENNSYLVANIA - 21 Electoral Votes RHODE ISLAND - 4 Electoral Votes SOUTH DAKOTA - 3 Electoral Votes TENNESSEE - 11 Electoral Votes TEXAS - 34 Electoral Votes UTAH - 5 Electoral Votes WEST VIRGINIA - 5 Electoral Votes "

The point is not, despite my personal issues, to get the president out of office. The point is to restore truth to voting. So if the game is to be played in the Electoral College, lets go to the stadium. From there the game moves to congress. I suspect the Will of the People is coming forward and there is no stopping the truth.

From the Electoral College site’s FAQ’s:

"Must electors vote for the candidate who won their State's popular vote?

There is no Constitutional provision or Federal law that requires electors to vote according to the results of the popular vote in their States. Some States, however, require electors to cast their votes according to the popular vote. These pledges fall into two categories -- electors bound by State law and those bound by pledges to political parties.
Which States bind electors to popular vote results? Refer to Electors Bound by State Law and Pledges to find out."

Based on the evidence of vote fraud throughout many states in the union, it's wrong to make a decision as important as who will be the next President of the United States of America on a lie.

'Tain't fittin. It just 'tain't fittin.' The truth needs to be factored into the decision.

Kerry's concession.

John Kerry is an old lawyer who knew the concession speech didn't matter. It may have helped whoever is rigging the elections to put their guard down a bit, which leaves room for the rest of us to rise. From the Electoral College site:

"What impact does a candidate's concession speech have on the Electoral College process?
None. A candidate's concession speech does not impact the States' duties and responsibilities related to the Electoral College system. On December 13, 2004, the electors will meet in each State to cast their ballots.
The Supreme Court has held that the Constitution does not require that electors be completely free to act as they choose and therefore, political parties may extract pledges from electors to vote for the parties' nominees. Some State laws provide that so-called "faithless electors" may be subject to fines or may be disqualified for casting an invalid vote and be replaced by a substitute elector. The Supreme Court has not specifically ruled on the question of whether pledges and penalties for failure to vote as pledged may be enforced under the Constitution. No elector has ever been prosecuted for failing to vote as pledged.
Today, it is rare for electors to disregard the popular vote by casting their electoral vote for someone other than their party's candidate. Electors generally hold a leadership position in their party or were chosen to recognize years of loyal service to the party. Throughout our history as a nation, more than 99 percent of electors have voted as pledged."
The names of the electors are posted

Here's a sample e-mail structure that can be used to contact your congressperson, senator, governor, media, friends, family, neighbors and prayer lists.

Subject:

I voted for _____________.

Text:

As a _______ voter, you are advised that I voted for ________ in the 2004 Presidential Primary.

Attached is the supporting documentation that I think you should look at to make your decision as to the true will of the people in our state.

(insert your strongest links and ideas, or copy your favorite from this article.)

I know you will do the right thing and restore the will of the people to government.

Please forward to whomever could add ideas or actions to this one. Follow your heart as to your response. An e-mail, phone, letters, more web pages to the electors would at least bring attention to the problem of election fraud in the land of the free and the home of the brave. As folks copy their correspondence to their electoral representatives to the media, elected and appointed officials, and, most importantly, to our neighbors, We the People can send a message to the world that we did not elect this man in the first place.
Prescott Bush, the president’s grandfather, was Hitler’s main money man in the U.S. Like Hitler brought Germany to its knees, we are in the same danger because of our policies.
As a result of our faulty election system, we have gone into Iraq, killed at least 100,000 innocent folks, took their oil and other resources without fair compensation, while calling ourselves protecting America. I am ashamed to be an American. It's time to pump up our working to put out the oil fire that is consuming us. We didn't start the fire, but we sure have to be the ones to put it out.
There is no logical reason for millions of folks to have lost their jobs, health care, homes, credit ratings, lives and most importantly, freedom. It’s time to do better than that.
We can do better than that.

Election2004 - Prove It or Re-Do It

“How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think." – Hitler
The Boston Globe reported that there were more than 30 reported voting problems per 100,000 votes in FL, OH, PA, AZ, LA, NM and CO. And that's just the reported ones. Check our your state on the Boston Globe Map.
T H I N K . As a patent holding inventor, let me assure you there is a scientist in everyone. It is the spark within of curious concern or need that sends us in a relentless search of answers to the problems we will solve.
Every citizen needs to look scientifically at this election and accept only the facts. How many people voted for who? It is to our advantage to stop pretending not to know that this election is crooked. To accept anything less than an accurate vote count is dangerous. We need to be complete scientists.
The late, great inventor Bruce DePalma, (whose N-Machine uses spinning magnets and brushes to create free energy) explains scientific thinking in his new book DePalma, Free Energy and the N-Machine.
"The complete scientist is a balanced person. He has the discernment and discrimination to perceive the underlying truths of nature, hidden beneath the multiplicity of experimental appearances. He has enough sense not to extend his theoretical expectations beyond the resolution of his experiments. Nor to delude himself into thinking the manipulations of mathematics can offer him more insight than the conceptualizations on which they are based. What is required in Science is not the training of more clones or epigones. What is required is the balancing of the individual, the harmonization of thinking. The development of insight, and observational instincts to discriminate between the real and the unreal. That is Science. "
BLACK FOLKS NOTES
Every citizen should be involved, especially the members of my "race." A lot of the election fraud took place in minority communities. This has got to stop. Too many folks died for everybody's right to vote to let this issue handle itself.
Dr. King’s fear that he expressed to Harry Belefonte is now a reality. Black folks have been integrated into a burning house. It's an oil fire that requires the whole community to help put it out.
The DNA folks report that they can’t tell a person’s race from DNA. W.E.B. Dubois wrote in the introduction of the 50th anniversary his work THE SOULS OF BLACK FOLKS “Race is just an excuse that we use as to why some people can have and some people cannot have.” It's time to lay the drama down for a minute, forgive and go forward. The only way to win this battle for an honest vote count is for everyone to work together for the highest good for all concerned.
Not just Black folks, everybody. You can pick it back up later if you want. But now, at this critical point in history, everyone has equal responsibility to heal our nation. I’m not saying the sky is falling. That already happened on 9/11/01. I'm saying like in the book Horton Hears A Who, every voice and action should be talking loud and saying something constructive. It is time for more righteous rap.
MEDIA - DEMOCRACY KEY
Now that the major media is mentioning the possibility that the election did not produce an accurate count, it’s up to all the American people to restore balance and truth to our system. It’s broken. Do a news search on “Stolen Election” or "Voter Fraud." Look at the facts, the direct experience of vote accountability. If there is none, as in qualified voters who voted were not counted, then we have to redo the whole thing. Zero tolerance for fraud or inaccuracy needs to be considered. We can do it. Downloadable and paper ballots, received by a specific date, will produce a verifiable count. We are in the information age and it’s time to demand integrity in the data we use to make decisions. To base the world’s future on inaccurate data is just plain stupid. We must think things all the way through, and make adjustments N O W!!!!
WHY PROVE IT OR REDO IT
Why do we need to rethink our society then take positive steps to improve the quality of life on the planet? Our debt is high with millions of people without access to housing and medical care. Our roads and many of our cities are in disrepair. Our children and old people are in crisis in life centered issues like health and safety. Our environment is polluted. People are getting sick at a rate of one in twenty patients from just going to the hospital and picking up a secondary infection. We are hated by many in the world as we continue to kill innocent people in a war with folks who had nobody on the 9/11 planes. Imagine yourself as an Iraqi child today. ‘This is the freedom that you bring?’ Our president and members of his staff have lied to us and the rest of the world, incompetence has been promoted and the will of the people mis-counted. The government does not have a right to invalidate a registered person’s vote, yet that is what happened. It’s not about Kerry or Bush, though I am deeply disappointed that Senator Kerry has not taken an active role in demanding an accurate vote count. I still see the vision. It’s about fixing the system, and one person, one vote is a good place to start. It’s the ultimate check and balance, yet it is being mis-managed, as in no paper trail for some votes, as a way to continue with unpopular policies.

HOW
The question is what to do now to solve our problems. It begins with the individual.
First, look within to get the answer to how best you can heal our society. Listen to what you are thinking and the power that tells your heart how to beat and your lungs how to breathe, even when you are asleep. A great how to book is HOW TO MEDITATE by Lawrence LeShan.
Then, if appropriate for you, write, call or visit your elected and appointed officials and demand that your vote be counted. Trace it or report that it is missing. Discuss with your family, friends and associates relevant situations and solutions. Get a blog and write the truth.
As a nation, we need to decide; are we for war or peace, prosperity or debt, a healthy environment or a dirty one, an educated or a stupid society. Based on results we have become a warring people, deeply in debt, living in a dirty environment. That’s not smart. We’ve got to think things through, present evidence of election fraud scientifically, and calmly take our country back.
The late Peter McWilliams said ‘YOU CAN’T AFFORD THE LUXURY OF A NEGATIVE THOUGHT’ Stop thinking we are better than every one else in the world. We clearly are not. Everybody deserves a decent place to live, clean food and water and a high speed internet connection.
It is time for America to teach (not force) the world about freedom and democracy, by example – not bombs - the words of angels. “Peace on earth to men of good will.”
It starts with each of us creating peace within our selves by doing the right thing for the highest good of all concerned.

DON’T DENY – VERIFY

DEMAND AN ACCURATE VOTE COUNT

PROVE IT OR REDO-IT

SCIENTIFICALLY THINK THROUGH WHAT WE DO

We are overcoming now.

Stolen Election - What to do next

First I want to thank MSNBC’s Keith Olberman and the rest of the team for speaking up on the issue of election fraud. The government supplied numbers snakes are in your house, so I understand how difficult it is to stand up for the truth. But we must all stand up for the truth, like Edward R. Murrow did in London with the bombs going off around him. Stand and report the truth. Maybe now we can have an adult conversation for the need to invalidate the last election results or get an accurate count.

“NEW YORK— With news this morning that the computerized balloting in North Carolina is so thoroughly messed up that all state-wide voting may be thrown out and a second election day scheduled, the story continues.

Tonight (11/10/04) on 'Countdown,' we'll examine the N.C. mess (which would not include a second presidential vote), new fuzzy math in Nevada, allegations against the Democrats in Pennsylvania, Ralph Nader's news conference, and the other voting developments as they occur. A Stanford computer expert will address the vulnerability of the Optical Scanning system (and answer the question: which is easier to hack, electronic voting or exit polls?), and Newsweek's Jonathan Alter will join me to report on the reporting.”

More deeply, I am grateful to the independent media folks especially, as I'm sure Olberman is, for keeping this subject front and center so that, despite the reports of extra killing in Iraq to keep the media busy, the problem of an inaccurate election must be solved.

For verification, try this if you haven’t already. Do a web search on "Stolen election" in a news search engine. The results are not what they were reported to be, and the red states and the blue states are not as different as this analysis of lies are reporting.

I lived in NYC from '72-'98 and will always love New York. I've lived in AZ for 5 years now as a self-defined refugee from the Giuliani administration. Arizona and other red states did not vote the way we have been led to believe. Because we don't know who won is what's troubling me. Remember election night? The news announced Bush won over Kerry in Arizona before they could call the numbers off the voting machines, let alone the last voter voted.

Add to that the early voting numbers, which were large, and the only way they could have predicted the win for Bush is to use pre-supplied numbers. It stinks to high heaven, maybe beyond. Time to shine the light of truth.

I want to assure my brothers and sisters in the “blue” states that we in the “red” states did not vote for that man in the ways the media originally reported. They are trying the old divide and conquer because they think we are stupid. They’ve given us false data to think on.

We’re suppose to believe that the people re-elected the man on whose watch 9/11 occurred. It affected us too. I’ve had many conversations and the majority of folks out here are not stupid. It’s a myth. The will of the American people is crying for great, positive change that moves us in the direction of world peace and prosperity for all. We want a clean environment. Money is not more important than health. Check out Einstein’s MESSAGE FOR POSTERITY. We have enough to take care of all. It’s the fear based system that is broken and requires immediate attention. We are truly on the wrong path.

To the blue states and the world please know that this election, based on results, does not reflect the will of the American people. Too many “mistakes” were made in favor of the president for us to pretend not to know what was tried here. Karl Rowe was a bit too confident in the results the night before the election.

Please encourage the DNC, RNC, League of Women Voters and other elected and appointed officials, groups, spiritual gatherings and folks to speak up on this bogus election.

GIVEN NEW EVIDENCE PRESENTED CONCERNING ELECTION PROBLEMS, DEMAND EVERY VOTE BE ACCOUNTED FOR - OR INVALIDATE THAT ELECTION.

We can count a dollar down to the penny, but we can't count votes?????

Here’s a few things I found about what folks are doing, or should do, about this election fraud.

1. SEND A MESSAGE – SPEND LESS
“The Grand Refusal Is Launched!
CITIZENS FOR LEGITIMATE GOVERNMENT
Pittsburgh, PA: November 7, 2004

Vote Fraud - Exit Polls Vs Actuals

2. Kerry May have won this election From No Stolen Elections!
“To: Urgent Response Network - Sisters and Brothers,
While hundreds of thousands of votes in Ohio have yet to be counted and reports of voter disenfranchisement throughout the country - particularly among minority, immigrant, young, and low-income Americans - continue to pour-in and questions are left to be answered about the massive gap between early polling data and the final total in Florida - a state where half of the voting populous used touch-screen machines that leave no paper trail, John Kerry just conceded the presidential election.
KERRY MAY HAVE CONCEDED THIS ELECTION, BUT WE WILL NEVER CONCEDE OUR RIGHT TO A FAIR AND JUST DEMOCRATIC PROCESS! “

3. "If Another Election Is Stolen, Let's Boycott Major US Media"
From The Baltimore Chronicle.com

“Even though foreign and military policies of Bush and Kerry are disturbingly similar, a survey of 35 countries shows 30 want Kerry to replace Bush in the White House, and by large margins. This news was received with shock, awe and derision by US celebrity media pundits, who--if they mentioned the poll at all--said its respondents were obviously "ignorant." Characteristically, this poll was totally ignored by TV news.
"Why was it ignored?" you might ask. The answer is that issues as defined, analyzed and disseminated by US corporate media are different than those discussed elsewhere. A strong case can be made, in fact, that, for more than two decades, these media outlets have been intent on tilting our framework for news understanding to the political right. When was the last time you saw academics have a free and open discussion on TV? Thirty years? It's been at least that long since "liberals" (we put the word in quotes to denote its dictionary meaning, because it has become so maligned in public discourse that it no longer connotes that meaning) had significant presence on television and prominence in major newspaper OpEd pages.”

4. From the Berkley Daily Planet.com - Another Stolen Election: By JAMES K. SAYRE
COMMENTARY (11-09-04)

“The exit polls that showed a sweeping victory for Sen. Kerry on Nov. 2 were right. Unfortunately, the 2004 presidential election was cleanly stolen by Bush & Co. How, you say? With the help of Diebold, ES&S, Sequoia and SAIC, four interlocked secretive right-wing electronic voting machine manufacturers. We have entrusted the most important election task, that of actually counting and tabulating the vote totals to extremist organizations with secret proprietary vote-counting computer software with no auditable paper trail for hand recounts. How very convenient, how very clean, how very slick and with all the evidence of election rigging is buried deep on their computer hard drives.
Sen. Kerry won a landslide victory by between two million and five million votes. The pre-election public opinion polls pointed to a large and growing Kerry election day majority and the election day exit polls also indicated a Kerry victory. Unfortunately, theocratic extremely right-wing computer election machine manufacturing corporations were in charge of “counting” the votes of millions and millions of Americans. Some how, a few million Kerry votes didn’t get counted and a few million bogus Bush votes showed up in the final election tallies and voila, a Bush “victory.”
Democracy in 21st century America has been kidnapped and destroyed by extreme right-wing control of the new secret computerized electronic vote counting systems. Verifiable hand-counted paper ballots are the only way to restore legitimate elections in America. “

5. From The Wilderness.com reports The Triumph of the Bush Machines -

“But there is one overriding fact that has been left out most of the ridiculous post-election punditry that renders all other analyses completely irrelevant. It is also the reason why the smiles on the faces of Bush crime family members are so bright, as they watched the returns on election night.
Air America Radio's Mike Malloy gave the most succinct and passionate explanation in his Wednesday, November 3, 2004, program [my links included-LC]:
"The American vote count is controlled by three major corporate players, Diebold, ESS, Sequoia, and a fourth, SAIC, Science Applications International. All four are hard-wired into the Bush power structure, the Bush crime family.
"They have been given millions of dollars by the Bush regime to complete a sweeping computerization of voting machines that were just used in the 2004 election. The technology involved had a trial run during the 2002 mid-term elections. Georgia had Diebold machines in every precinct. As a result, a popular Democratic governor and senator were both unseated in what the media called an "amazing" 16 percent swing.
"Diebold's Walden O'Dell, a top Bush fundraiser, publicly committed himself to delivering his home state Ohio's votes to Bush. At Diebold, the election division is run by Bob Urosevich. Bob's brother, Todd, is a top executive at "rival" ES&S. The brothers were originally staked by Howard Ahmanson, a member of the Council For National Policy, a right-wing steering group stacked with Bush true believers. Ahmanson is also one of the bagmen behind the extremist Christian Reconstruction Movement, which advocates the theocratic takeover of American democracy.
"The four companies are interconnected; they are not four "competitors". Ahmanson has large stakes in ES&S, whose former CEO was Republican Senator Chuck Hagel of Nebraska. When Hagel ran for office, his own company counted the votes, and his victory was considered "an amazing upset". Hagel still has a million dollar stake in ES&S.
"Sequoia is the corporate parent of a private equity firm, Madison Dearborn, which is partner in the Carlyle Group. (Also see here.)”

6. Never Say Die-bold: So You Don’t Think the Bush Campaign Stole This Election? Think Again -by guest writer Jackson Thoreau

If you’re looking for one word to sum up the way the Bush-Cheney campaign stole another election Tuesday besides obvious ones like “cheated,” try this one: Diebold.
An election judge where I voted Tuesday in a heavily Democratic precinct in Maryland knows what that means and wasn’t adverse to sharing his opinion of the Republican-owned company. As I was about to vote with the electronic system, I asked this judge if they had a way to check people’s votes through a paper backup.
The official said no, and then in a low voice so no one else would hear, added, “And that really makes us nervous, with Diebold as the owner of that system.”
Goodbye, hanging chads. Hello, computer fraud that leaves no trace, no chads hanging.
Diebold Inc. of North Canton, Ohio, supplied scores of machines and counted millions of votes Tuesday, while reportedly discarding many votes for Democrat John Kerry, according to British investigative reporter Gregory Palast. Walden O’Dell, chief executive of Diebold and a top fundraiser for the Bush campaign, wrote in a fund-raising letter last year that he was “committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the president next year.”
That he did.

When I was in high school back in the 1960’s we had a typing drill we use to do.

Stolen Election - Gathering Evidence

Now the evidence is mounting that the 2004 Presidential election was corrupted by the special interests that want to continue war, throwing more people into harm's way, and controlling every aspect of our lives.

1. MSNBC Reports Machine glitch gave Bush extra Ohio votes
Officials say 3,893-vote error did not affect state result
The Associated Press
Updated: 9:17 p.m. ET Nov. 5, 2004

"Problems in North Carolina, California - In one North Carolina county, more than 4,500 votes were lost in Tuesday’s election because officials mistakenly believed a computer that stored ballots electronically could hold more data than it did.

And in San Francisco, a voting software malfunction could delay efforts to declare the winners of four county supervisor races.

In the Gahanna precinct, multiple copies of each ballot were recorded: two on the machine and three to a removable cartridge, said Matthew Damschroder, director of the Franklin County Board of Elections. When voting ends, each cartridge is taken to one of five zones in the county, where the results were loaded into a laptop. Those results were transferred by secure data lines to the county."

2. Dirty Election: From Bellaciao.org

Friday 5th November 2004 :

Too many voting ’irregularities’ to be coincidence

"Isn’t it strange that all of these ’anomalies’ in the exit polls and touchscreen machines always seem to favor Bush? There were many similar reports after the 2002 congressional elections, when the Republicans took control of Congress (which the evil cabal needed to prevent a real 911 investigation and to start the war free of consequences)."


3. Tompaine.com reports that Kerry won in Ohio and New Mexico.

"Most voters in Ohio thought they were voting for Kerry. At 1:05 a.m. Wednesday morning, CNN's exit poll showed Kerry beating Bush among Ohio women by 53 percent to 47 percent. The exit polls were later combined with—and therefore contaminated by—the tabulated results, ultimately becoming a mirror of the apparent actual vote. [To read about the skewing of exit polls to conform to official results, click here .] Kerry also defeated Bush among Ohio's male voters 51 percent to 49 percent. Unless a third gender voted in Ohio, Kerry took the state.

So what's going on here? Answer: the exit polls are accurate. Pollsters ask, "Who did you vote for?" Unfortunately, they don't ask the crucial, question, "Was your vote counted?" The voters don't know.

Here's why. Although the exit polls show that most voters in Ohio punched cards for Kerry-Edwards, thousands of these votes were simply not recorded. This was predictable and it was predicted. [See TomPaine.com, "An Election Spoiled Rotten," November 1.]"


4. From CounterBias.com "The Case For Fraud"

"Here are grounds for suspicion. Electronic voting machines figured heavily in the final tabulation of the results in Ohio, Florida, and New Mexico. Moreover, in all three, paper audit trails do not exist. These states therefore offered the best, safest opportunity for manipulation of the final count."


5. The News-Dispatch "Computer glitch still baffles county clerk" By Kristin Miller, Michigan City, Indiana

"LaPORTE - The day after a two-and-a-half-hour delay in counting ballots due to a glitch in a computer program, LaPorte County election officials are still trying to figure out what happened.

"Maybe there was a power surge," LaPorte County Clerk Lynne Spevak said. "Something zapped it."

At about 7 p.m. Tuesday, it was noticed that the first two or three printouts from individual precinct reports all listed an identical number of voters. Each precinct was listed as having 300 registered voters.
That means the total number of voters for the county would be 22,200, although there are actually more than 79,000 registered voters."

6. Las Cruces Sun-News: County set to certify vote

By Heath HaussamenNov 7, 2004, 07:30 am

"The Doña Ana County Board of Commissioners is tentatively scheduled to certify the county’s election results Tuesday, but not before a Monday protest by local residents who accuse the clerk’s office of election fraud.Las Crucen Ron Nesler has organized the protest. At noon Monday, he and others will drive around the county courthouse honking their horns “to protest election fraud on the part of the Doña Ana County Clerk’s office,” according to an e-mail to the Sun-News from Nesler.“Others will be on foot at the entrance to the county courthouse with picket signs demanding fair and open election procedures,” Nesler wrote in a posting on LCWatch.com, a local citizen’s group Web site."

7. Computerized system lost more than 4,000 early votes in Carteret County The Associated Press

JACKSONVILLE, N.C. - Several N.C. counties reported problems with voting, including Carteret, where more than 4,000 early votes were lost because the electronic voting system could not store the volume of votes it received.

It was unknown what effect the problem would have on local or state voting results or what action the state Board of Elections might take. Two statewide races, for superintendent of public instruction and agriculture commissioner, remained unresolved and too close to call Thursday.
In Carteret, the county was told by the manufacturer of the voting system that its units could store up to 10,500 votes, but the limit was actually 3,005 votes."

What makes this election so important is the needs of world peace and healing are not being met by the current administration. We have a half century of war as action and reaction. Please read - Rogue Superpower and take a stand for peace. It begins within each of us.

"But the truth is: from Hiroshima to Vietnam to Iraq, the United States of America has been the biggest and most ruthless perpetrator of bombings in the world."

Peace on earth to men of good will.

Stolen Election Again?

I feel there is a problem with this election. It stinks to high heaven. We can track a dollar down to the penny but we have been told we can't track a vote.

If the vote count starts at poll closing time plus when the last voter votes, how did the media begin to call numbers for entire states shortly after closing time? The machines could not have been open as fast as the networks were calling off numbers. Counting the votes, especially those who voted a week or so earlier, could not have been done in that short a time.

And what happened to the media's standard of not reporting election results until everyone in the country voted from Maine to California?

I live in Arizona. The Secretary of State’s office has posted “unofficial” election results on the web. According to the posting, nobody in the state of Arizona voted for Ralph Nader. Not one of the reported 40,000 votes cast for Nader came from Arizona?

I understand the gentleman’s agreement between two members of Skull & Bones not to fight over this, but we the people need to make sure our vote was counted. (I still love and appreciate John Kerry and his crew, but Kerry never did address the Skull & Bones conflict of interest).

We have until the Electoral College meets for folks to demand a verification of their vote. A simple citizens request from each voter that demands verification of their vote being counted.

Don't Deny...Verify .

If we don't pretend not to know (deny) there could be a problem here, we can fix it by each one verifying their vote. Simply ask to confirm that a citizen's vote is counted. It’s the only way to confirm that computer programming alterations were not pulled in some places to weigh the vote in favor of one candidate over another.

The will of the government has superseded the will of the people for too long. It’s clearly time to restore intelligence to government.

Let me know what you think.

It isn't over until the Electoral College sings.
