Spokes on a Wheel

We are so close to be on the same page as to almost not merit comment. I use the analogy of spokes on a wheel. The precincts, along with central counting reside around the circumference. The totals from all of those circumferential outposts must be communicated to the hub via the spokes. Who's policing the spokes?

But, I submit that transparency must always be the guiding star. And transparency from my frame of reference is that process which the average literate English speaking American voter can understand from beginning to end. A purely paper based system is the average common denominator that passes that standard. Thus, Strait's maxim: software and transparency are forever contradictory terms.

Thanks much for taking the time to post a comment.

Until we all agree that the five men

who own the media do not have our best interests at heart, then, we will continue to be amazed at what the corporate media does not cover.

Mr. Murdoch

Hearst Corp

Mr. Buffet

Sam Zell

Mr. Sulzberger

They want to control the vote so they can control the leadership, so they can control the world.

Now the next step is to realize that the above listed men are themselves controlled by a small group of white men.

Please don't be amazed by the media, they aren't "media" they are propaganda organs controlled by people who are merely obeying orders.

None of this is a mystery.

One of the reasons for this website is the fact that MSM does not cover the news. They just emit information that is designed to achieve the goals of the aformentioned small group of white men.

I second that!

I stopped listening to the MSM a long time ago because I realized there control over what goes out to the public. As far a social responsibility, the MSM has none. I solely listen to NPR and I cannot say much for them either. They are falling into the same niche as the MSM.

One would think that the voting fraud that is occuring would be Big News. Our government isn't even doing anything about it. We live in very sad times for our country.

We should be thankful we have this format to get information that covers important issues.
