RECEBI DO Dr EBITT, e repasso ao Voto-e,
pois não sei se ele divulgou para nossa Lista.
"com a Verdade vós os
vencereis"
Confesso que NÃO estudei o tema satisfatoriamente,
inclusive porque meu inglês é pobre... mas achei a tese interessante e
plausível.... Será verdade ????
Com a palavra os técnicos ...
Saudações nacionalistas

PS.: Meu comentário sintético seria - de fato, como afinal
concordou o meu amigo monje beneditino - estamos assistindo a luta entre
SATANAS X BELZEBU - para quem não entendeu, explico:
É difícil saber qual dos dois seria o pior.... embora a
mensagem cristã do Sr. Bush, tenha recebido o apoio de TODOS os cristão dos EUA
(e do mundo); e eu (confesso) se tivesse que votar, também o
teria escolhido... aborto, casamento gay, abrandamento com os terroristas...
decididamente não estão em minha agenda...

"Evidence
Mounts That The Vote Was Hacked"
by
Thom Hartmann
When
I spoke with Jeff Fisher this morning (Saturday,
November 06,
2004), the
Democratic candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives
from
Florida's 16th
District said he was waiting for the FBI to show
up.
Fisher has evidence, he says, not only that the
Florida
election
was
hacked, but of who hacked it and how. And not just this year,
he
said,
but that these same people had previously hacked the
Democratic
primary
race in 2002 so that Jeb Bush would not have to run
against
Janet
Reno, who presented a real threat to Jeb, but instead
against
Bill
McBride, who Jeb beat.
"It
was practice for a national effort," Fisher told
me.
And
evidence is accumulating that the national effort happened
on
November
2, 2004.
The
State of Florida, for
example, publishes a county-by-county
record
of votes cast and people registered to vote by party
affiliation.
Net denizen Kathy Dopp compiled the official state
information
into a table, available at
http://ustogether.org/Florida_Election.htm, and
noticed something
startling.

While
the heavily scrutinized touch-screen voting machines seemed
to
produce
results in which the registered Democrat/Republican
ratios
matched
the Kerry/Bush vote, and so did the optically-scanned
paper
ballots
in the larger counties, in Florida's smaller counties
the
results
from the optically scanned paper ballots - fed into a
central
tabulator
PC and thus vulnerable to hacking - seem to have been
reversed.
In
Baker
County, for
example, with 12,887 registered voters, 69.3% of
them
Democrats and 24.3% of them Republicans, the vote was only
2,180
for
Kerry and 7,738 for Bush, the opposite of what is seen
everywhere
else
in the country where registered Democrats largely voted
for
Kerry.
In
Dixie
County, with
4,988 registered voters, 77.5% of them
Democrats
and a mere 15% registered as Republicans, only 1,959
people
voted
for Kerry, but 4,433 voted for Bush.
The
pattern repeats over and over again - but only in the
smaller
counties
where, it was probably assumed, the small voter numbers
wouldn't
be much noticed. Franklin
County, 77.3%
registered
Democrats,
went 58.5% for Bush. Holmes
County, 72.7%
registered
Democrats,
went 77.25% for Bush.
Yet
in the larger counties, where such anomalies would be
more
obvious
to the news media, high percentages of registered
Democrats
equaled
high percentages of votes for Kerry.
More
visual analysis of the results can be seen at
http://ustogether.org/election04/FloridaDataStats.htm,
and
www.rubberbug.com/temp/Florida2004chart.htm.
And,
although elections officials didn't notice these anomalies,
in
aggregate
they were enough to swing Florida from
Kerry to Bush. If
you
simply go through the analysis of these counties and
reverse
the
"anomalous" numbers in those counties that appear to have
been
hacked,
suddenly the Florida election
results resemble the Florida
exit
poll results: Kerry won, and won big.
Those
exit poll results have been a problem for reporters ever
since
Election
Day.
Election
night, I'd been doing live election coverage for WDEV,
one
of
the radio stations that carries my syndicated show, and,
just
after
midnight, during the 12:20 a.m. Associated Press Radio
News
feed,
I was startled to hear the reporter detail how Karen Hughes
had
earlier
sat George W. Bush down to inform him that he'd lost
the
election.
The exit polls were clear: Kerry was winning in a
landslide.
"Bush took the news stoically," noted the AP
report.
But
then the computers reported something different. In
several
pivotal
states.
Conservatives
see a conspiracy here: They think the exit polls were
rigged.
Dick
Morris, the infamous political consultant to the first
Clinton
campaign
who became a Republican consultant and Fox News
regular,
wrote
an article for The Hill, the publication read by every
political
junkie in Washington, DC, in which he made a couple of
brilliant
points.
"Exit
Polls are almost never wrong," Morris wrote. "They
eliminate
the
two major potential fallacies in survey research by
correctly
separating
actual voters from those who pretend they will cast
ballots
but never do and by substituting actual observation for
guesswork
in judging the relative turnout of different parts of
the
state."
He
added: "So, according to ABC-TVs exit polls, for example,
Kerry
was
slated to carry Florida,
Ohio,
New
Mexico,
Colorado,
Nevada,
and
Iowa, all of
which Bush carried. The only swing state the network had
going
to Bush was West
Virginia, which
the president won by 10
points."
Yet
a few hours after the exit polls were showing a clear
Kerry
sweep,
as the computerized vote numbers began to come in from
the
various
states the election was called for Bush.
How
could this happen?
On
the CNBC TV show "Topic A With Tina Brown," several months
ago,
Howard
Dean had filled in for Tina Brown as guest host. His guest
was
Bev
Harris, the Seattle
grandmother who started
www.blackboxvoting.org
from her living room. Bev pointed out that
regardless
of how votes were tabulated (other than hand counts,
only
done
in odd places like small towns in
Vermont), the
real "counting"
is
done by computers. Be they Diebold Opti-Scan machines, which
read
paper
ballots filled in by pencil or ink in the voter's hand, or
the
scanners
that read punch cards, or the machines that simply record
a
touch
of the screen, in all cases the final tally is sent to
a
"central tabulator" machine.
That
central tabulator computer is a Windows-based PC.
"In
a voting system," Harris explained to Dean on national
television,
"you have all the different voting machines at all the
different
polling places, sometimes, as in a county like mine,
there's
a thousand polling places in a single county. All those
machines
feed into the one machine so it can add up all the
votes.
So,
of course, if you were going to do something you shouldn't to
a
voting
machine, would it be more convenient to do it to each of
the
4000
machines, or just come in here and deal with all of them
at
once?"
Dean
nodded in rhetorical agreement, and Harris continued.
"What
surprises
people is that the central tabulator is just a PC, like
what
you and I use. It's just a regular computer."
"So,"
Dean said, "anybody who can hack into a PC can hack into
a
central
tabulator?"
Harris
nodded affirmation, and pointed out how Diebold uses a
program
called
GEMS, which fills the screen of the PC and effectively
turns
it
into the central tabulator system. "This is the official
program
that
the County
Supervisor sees,"
she said, pointing to a PC that was
sitting
between them loaded with Diebold's software.
Bev
then had Dean open the GEMS program to see the results of a
test
election.
They went to the screen titled "Election Summary
Report"
and
waited a moment while the PC "adds up all the votes from all
the
various
precincts," and then saw that in this faux election
Howard
Dean
had 1000 votes, Lex Luthor had 500, and Tiger Woods had
none.
Dean
was winning.
"Of
course, you can't tamper with this software," Harris
noted.
Diebold
wrote a pretty good program.
But,
it's running on a Windows PC.
So
Harris had Dean close the Diebold GEMS software, go back to
the
normal
Windows PC desktop, click on the "My Computer" icon,
choose
"Local Disk C:," open the folder titled GEMS, and open the
sub-
folder
"LocalDB" which, Harris noted, "stands for local
database,
that's
where they keep the votes." Harris then had Dean
double-click
on
a file in that folder titled "Central Tabulator Votes,"
which
caused
the PC to open the vote count in a database program
like
Excel.
In
the "Sum of the Candidates" row of numbers, she found that in
one
precinct
Dean had received 800 votes and Lex Luthor had gotten
400.
"Let's
just flip those," Harris said, as Dean cut and pasted
the
numbers
from one cell into the other. "And," she added
magnanimously,
"let's give 100 votes to Tiger."
They
closed the database, went back into the official GEMS
software
"the legitimate way, you're the county supervisor and
you're
checking
on the progress of your election."
As
the screen displayed the official voter tabulation,
Harris
said,
"And you can see now that Howard Dean has only 500 votes,
Lex
Luthor
has 900, and Tiger Woods has 100." Dean, the winner, was
now
the
loser.
Harris
sat up a bit straighter, smiled, and said, "We just edited
an
election,
and it took us 90 seconds."
On
live national television. (You can see the clip on
www.votergate.tv.)
Which
brings us back to Morris and those pesky exit polls that
had
Karen
Hughes telling George W. Bush that he'd lost the election in
a
landslide.
Morris's
conspiracy theory is that the exit polls "were sabotage"
to
cause
people in the western states to not bother voting for
Bush,
since
the networks would call the election based on the exit
polls
for
Kerry. But the networks didn't do that, and had never
intended
to.
It makes far more sense that the exit polls were right -
they
weren't
done on Diebold PCs - and that the vote itself was
hacked.
And
not only for the presidential candidate - Jeff Fisher thinks
this
hit
him and pretty much every other Democratic candidate for
national
office
in the most-hacked swing states.
So
far, the only national "mainstream" media to come close to
this
story
was Keith Olbermann on his show Friday night, November
5th,
when
he noted that it was curious that all the voting
machine
irregularities
so far uncovered seem to favor Bush. In the meantime,
the
Washington Post and other media are now going through
single-
bullet-theory-like
contortions to explain how the exit polls had
failed.
But
I agree with Fox's Dick Morris on this one, at least in
large
part.
Wrapping up his story for The Hill, Morris wrote in his
final
paragraph,
"This was no mere mistake. Exit polls cannot be as
wrong
across
the board as they were on election night. I suspect
foul
play."
