Who really cares about who lied about
what? The past is the past and no one is going to change what either one
of these nutzoids did in their pasts. The bottom
line is you are not going to find the perfect candidate in the choices for
president available. So why
bother? ************ And why even bother to
vote? ***********
NEITHER is worthy of my time to go to the
poll.

Good
Question there Eagle 1...
You're running in your first election for City
Council in a crowded field of 26 candidates. Nine will be elected. The No. I
local anchorman comes on T.V. at about 9:15 PM and announces that you're going
to do very well for a first time candidate—he flashes on the screen that
you're running 12th; only three places from victory. Such a finish would give
hope to all who were daring to “fight city hall.”
Earlier in the
evening, a liberal-leftist hometown university professor who was analyzing
early returns for another local TV station had projected that your arch-rival,
and his ally—a sweetheart of the anti-God portion of the establishment—was
headed towards defeat.
But HO-L-L-L-D EVERYTHING !!!
At
approximately 9.45 PM the same anchorman announces that there has been a
computer breakdown. 45 minutes later when the computers come back up, a
massive switch has occurred. You and 7 other feisty challengers have fallen to
the very bottom of the heap The establishment sweetheart has jumped into a
winning position—against all odds. Despite unprecedented public
dissatisfaction, the same oldfaces are elected once again. Many conclude that
"you just can't fight city hall. " Things have worked out just great for all
those entrenched politicians who seemed to be the object of such public
dissatisfaction right up to election day. The next morning, you scan the
papers in vain for any mention of the computer breakdown no record for
posterity.
The above scenario is my story—but it was happening in
dozens of places all across the nation. It was 1979 and a new day had quietly
dawned in America - UNVERIFIABLE, RIGGABLE computerized vote
tabulation.
Ballots for
Bullets
When I was small I remember my Dad saying
how in other countries they would shoot each other to decide the transfer of
power. In our country it was done by the ballot at election time.
Millions of American soldiers have fought and bled and died to protect
your right to free and fair elections; to protect your right to an orderly,
peaceful transfer of power when the people so will.
How Your Parents' Votes Were
Counted
Once upon a time, Americans voted by Paper
Ballot. At the end of the day after the polls had closed, neighborhood people,
Democrats and Republicans, worked together to count the votes in the precinct
(polling place) BEFORE the votes left that precinct. The count was then posted
at the precinct polling place for all to see. This is the only way to
insure a verifiable election. Variations of method are possible, but the
elements of physical ballots which are counted and posted at the precinct
before the ballots leave each precinct are essential to insure a fair and
honest count.
To rig an election with the above safeguards built in,
one would have to bribe many hundreds of neighborhood people, including key
Democrats and Republicans in each precinct you hoped to rig. Finally, the
group of people bribed at each precinct would only have access to a tiny
fraction of the vote. There would be no hope of throwing an election from a
central location with the push of a button.
The Greatest Cover-up
Begins
About 1974 a
sinister development was in full swing all over the United States. In many
areas, especially high population regions, the votes were no longer being
counted in the precincts by neighborhood people. The switch was on to computer
vote counting systems. Typical was Cincinnati, Oluo where votes were bundled
up immediately after the polls closed and sent to a mysterious centra computer
room to be counted by secret computer codes. To add insult to injury, the
votes were counted away from the watchful eye of the entire electorate and the
press.
Despite the brutal cover up that has been conducted for
going on date decades by the newsmedia and the major parties to prevent you
from hearing about this issue, some major media news items have appeared. In a
rare but superb news story on the eve of the 1988 Presidential election, Dan
Rather (CBS Evening News) engaged in this exchange with computer expert Howard
J. Strauss of Princeton University:
Rather- "Realistically, could
the fix be put on in a national election?"
Strauss: "Get me a job with
the company that writes the software for this program. (ed-
Strauss was referring to the most common computer program in use) Then
I'd have access to one third of the votes. Is that enough to fix a general
election?"
"A House Without Doors"
In an earlier
clip during this CBS interview, Howard J. Strauss dropped ft bombshell: "When
it comes to compute6zed elections, there are no safeguards. It's not a door
without locks, it's a house,without doors."
