Pt. I: Convicted Felons, 'Shadowy Financiers' Own Companies Counting
Votes

An investigation into the surprisingly-sordid history of America's
"election services industry" has revealed that executives and owners of the two
largest companies, E S & S and Sequoia Pacific, have been convicted of bribery
and suborning public officials in more than a dozen states.
And while a felony conviction may be enough to prevent you from
voting in Florida, convicted felons can take heart in the fact that the
"blemish" on their record in no way disqualifies them from owning companies
counting the votes.
In fact, the word 'coverup' itself was invented to describe the
activities of the original owner of Sequoia Pacific, "shadowy financier" Lewis
Wolfson, who got caught bribing no less a personage than a Supreme Court
Justice of the United States of America.
While Abe Fortas was forced to resign in disgrace, no such harsh
fate befell Wolfson. When you own a company that counts the votes, politicians
smile more kindly on you than they might otherwise... and for good reason.
"Somebody Blinked"
Continuing this dubious 'tradition,' the owner of Sequoia Pacific
until recently was also accused of bribing public officials, in this case the
Prime Minister of Ireland.
While the name Dr. Michael Smurfit is not well-known to Americans,
his company manufactures the software used to compile more than two-thirds of
the nation's electronically-counted votes.
Perhaps this may help explain why, for the second Presidential
election in a row, a Democratic bandwagon was derailed early on Election Night
by an unusual television appearance by the Bush Family, after exit polls showed
them losing in key battleground states.
While what transpired remains closely guarded, whatever went on
behind the scenes was clearly decisive: Bush took the lead in the election, and
John Kerry suffered the same fate as Al Gore had four years earlier...perhaps
even in the same way.

"If all that Americans want is security, they can go to prison. They'll have
enough to eat, a bed and a roof over their heads. But if an American wants to
preserve his dignity and his equality as a human being, he must not bow his
neck to any dictatorial government."

"I'd rather be Don Quixote than another statistic." - -Douglas L. Wilson
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are
to stand by the president right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile,
but is morally treasonable to the American public."
-- Theodore Roosevelt
