- jt ----- Original Message ----- Thursday, November 07, 2002 ELECTION POST-MORTEM NOVEMBER 7. The last stragglers are in the door from their drunken victory parties or their drunken defeat-immolations. The last votes are being tallied. The Repubs have slightly extended their control of the House and have made it over the top in the Senate. Today, Democrats will be predicting dire consequences for the nation and cursing everyone who didn't see it coming. Which is like shouting new warnings from a train that has been careening for a century. If you didn't vote, or if you voted for an independent or a small-party candidate, people will say you're a traitor and have no right to whine. Of course, the truth is the opposite. If you voted for a Demo or a Repub, you have invited the future inside your house without first checking ID or pedigree. Voter News Service (VNS), that idiot box invented by ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, FOX and AP, decided not to relay exit poll numbers to the networks last night. Therefore, news anchors were "placed under a great strain" (I saw no one sweating) and had to report results from the actual vote count. What a terrible burden. In truth, VNS did relay its projections, based on partial vote counts, to the networks, and the news editors then drummed up their forecasts from those projections. VNS claimed their informal exit polls---which caused such havoc in the 2000 election---ran into problems of interpretation. But VNS has always had problems with exit polls---in many cases, in past elections, they have fudged or invented exit data numbers. Anyway, my own election prediction was entirely accurate, as you can see. The One Party Posing As Two, the Demo-Repub, won. Thank you, thank you. (I'm bowing.) Although the networks are reporting it was a very clean election, if you hunt around the Internet, you'll see some rumblings. Try www.talion.com. Also, Matt Drudge has a piece about compliaints in Florida. More states are using the computer touch-system this time around. These machines employ software that is proprietary. No one can check it out. Therefore, as I wrote two years ago, the People are now disenfranchised on a new level. How do you re-count those computer tallies? Call in a technician who works for the private firm that makes the machines? No, you don't even do that. Because the tech only shows up when voters say they voted for Joe but the machine said Frank. Nobody can see whether the software codes have been pre-rigged or hacked into. I know, this kind of talk upsets some people who want to believe in Pretty and Nice and Clean and Wheaties and good old Apple Pie. But such emotional upsets will be nothing compared with their reaction when the One Party Posing As Two brings the next few years' worth of criminality down the pipeline. Coming right at you. As for the impending war on Iraq, an issue which the Demos will scream about---"We lost the election and this war is what THEY are now getting us into!"---may I remind you that the One Party Congress has already voted to give Bush carte blanche on that front. As I finally turned off the tube last night, Tom Daschle was still trying to spin his little top and say it was a pretty good night for his people. With only One Party in the US, he had a point. Bill Clinton, George Bush, the other Bush---put them in a bag and close your eyes and pick one out. Fred Thompson, the actor who became a senator from Tennessee and then retired, already has a gig as the DA on Law and Order. Fred knows, after a frustrating period in the senate, that Repub or Demo or TV is pretty much the same thing. So he's a step ahead of the game. Good work, Fred. The night before the election, Dan Rather did a guest shot on Larry King. You know, the one of great wisdom gives his precious and suitably humble evaluation of the Races For Office. Dan is a real piece of work. Let him talk for ten minutes in an interview and he will say something bizarre. It's guaranteed. This time, Dan was assessing cable news coverage of sensationalized stories (the sniper case), and he offered up the thought that, since cable has a deadline "every nanosecond," it tends to BLATHER. That was the word Dan used, perhaps forgetting that many people call him Dan Blather. Greg Palast, a former government rackets investigator who is now an investigative reporter, has assembled some searing info on election fraud in Florida. He was recently interviewed by BUZZFLASH (before yesterday's vote). Palast, who has worked for the BBC, found that, prior to the 2000 election, a list of 94,000 mostly black voters was assembled--an OP "planned and executed with the connivance of the [Kathleen] Harris and the [Jeb Bush] Governor's office." These 94,000 voters were taken off the registration rolls because they were felons." But under threat of suit from the NAACP, the company that put together the purge list admitted that, at best, 3,000 were really felons. But this list wasn't restored to the voting rolls in time for yesterday's election. Palast also discovered that the Florida touch screens are made by a company called ES&S. ES&S was chosen for the contract by Kathleen Harris, the then secretary of state under Jeb Bush. ES&S has a lobbyist named Sandy Mortham. Sandy is the founder of the group known as Women for Jeb. She began the project of IDing and eliminating black voters from the rolls in 1998. Palast blames the Democrats for not blowing open this scandal. He states that after this election he's going to change his "party affiliation to none." Note: I am not reporting on Palast because I think the only voter fraud in Florida and elsewhere is on the Republican side. Again, do a keyword search on my archive and read my articles on the 2000 election frauds. Politicians are actors. When Jeb Bush got up there last night and happily celebrated his victory, he was skating. He was pretending, even to himself, that The People had chosen him fair and square. The acting prowess of pols still bamboozles most Americans. They can't imagine anyone can be that good. "He must be sincere and honest. Look at him. It's real." Well yes it is, given that all heavy cheaters who engage in low-life chiseling are trying to gain praise and approval. And when victory arrives, they really do feel vindicated. They are experts in schizoid-ness. The only difference between their variety and the version contained in the psychiatric textbooks is, YOU'RE NOT SCHIZOPHRENIC IF YOU CAN GET AWAY WITH IT. More on ES&S, the company that makes all the voting machines. ES&S is owned by the McCarthy Group. Michael McCsrthy happens to be the campaign treasurer for Nebraska Senator Chuck Hagel. According to Citizens for Legitimate Government, Hagel "list[s] the McCarthy Group as an Asset, with his investment valued at $1-$5 million." ES&S is the only company allowed to sell voting machines in the state of Nebraska. There's a syllogism in there, and it isn't pretty. John Samples, writitng in the National Review, points out a different kind of voter fraud problem in Florida: "Now the civil-rights groups are trying to use Florida to get rid of the ID requirement. They say that having to show an ID [like a driver's license, at polling places] will dscourage minorities from coming to the polls. But the ID requirement addresses a real problem created by an earlier 'reform,' the Voter Motor law. The Democratic congressional majority that wrote Motor Voter made sure no local election official could remove names from the registration rolls. Consequently the rolls are a mess and offer an open invitation to voting fraud." Ah yes. Every which way. "Well, they're cheating their butts off. So we have to do it, too." I believe, two years ago, I invited people to write me and let me know if they had ever been interviewed at the polls by Voter News Service. VNS, which last night chickened out on reporting their exit-poll stats to the TV networks, has claimed, in the past, that they do EXTENSIVE exit polling at voting precincts all over the nation. My own informal survey turns up NO ONE who states he has ever been approached by a VNS person. In the past, these VNS exit polls---"who did you vote for? why?"---have been used to make the projections the networks used to announce early winners in elections all over the US. VNS gets the actual vote count, as it comes in, direct from the states. In other words, this media-created consortium knows the vote counts before we do. When they obtain (concoct?), on top of that, their informal exit polls, and base their early predictions of winners on those exit polls, and when they relay those early predictions to the very TV networks who created VNS.. well, sounds like a closed loop, doesn't it? A closed information loop. VNS has the ongoing vote count---although we can t verify it, especialy when it comes through ES&S voting screens---and VNS gets (concocts?) these exit polls---and VNS then relays its early predictions of winners to the networks---and then the networks announce the predictions---so where are WE in all this? Gazing at the moon. But don't worry, be happy. Vote for the One Party Posing As Two, take two Dan Rathers and call me in the morning. I ran for a seat in the US Congress in 1994, from the 29th District in Los Angeles. I went to the vote-count building with my staff on election night. I took the canned tour. I stared blankly at the computers doing their work. I was told that the machine that received the final computer gobbledegook was eight miles away in another building, where the ultimate vote count was made. I found out that the software for the final machine contained a suspiciously long number of lines of code. a computer geek let me know that one guy with a laptop and those codes, on election night, could hack in and change a few digits, get out, let the NEW AND IMPROVED vote numbers register, hack back in, restore the original code, climb into his car, and drone off into the night. Back in 1988 or so, the prestigious New Yorker magazine ran a long piece on the coming era of electronic voter fraud. How it could be done. Nobody paid much attention. Here today, gone tomorrow. It's tomorrow. written by Jon Rappoport <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
