Were people then afraid to use inflammatory language? Afraid to speak about the implications of what their governments were doing, even as they saw those things being carried out in a very systematic and methodical manner?

What did those observers who studied it do, these citizens who sat in nice, clean bureaucratic meetings where IBM vendors worked out the details of their governmental contract for a citizen identification and tracking program, which would enable the government to easily find citizens of various characteristics and ethnicities when deemed necessary?

Were there public observers at the bureaucrats' meetings where the gas ovens were designed, (which kind of vent should we use, what motor power do we need to push the gas through the vents)?

What did these freedom loving citizens do as they observed the meetings, as they began to process the information, to understand what their eyes saw, what their hearts understood?

Were they afraid to tell people, were they afraid to use inflammatory language?

Well, I have sat in our American bureaucrats' meetings, and while they are not designing gas ovens, I have watched them design the death of our democracy.

I have felt the physical impact like a sucker punch to the stomach, the impact of being a freedom loving citizen witnessing these proceedings, as I began to comprehend with clarity and finality what REALLY is going on.

The power of the people's vote, the free, fair, democratic vote, being neutralized and subverted before my very eyes.

Nazi Germany: Law after law enacted to carefully put into place and facilitate the vision of the very legal national socialist government. That national socialist government, which our freedom loving country ultimately rose up to fight against.

Who will save America if we allow ourselves to fall down?

HOLT BILL STATUS JUNE 20, 2007

In today's version of the bill, not only is trade secrecy federalized into law, but the bill forces public servants to sign nondisclosure agreements with corporate e-voting industry vendors, effectively placing gag orders on the very election officials entrusted with our publicly held elections and sealing secret vote counting for the United States of America as federal law!

And who controls this secret vote counting?

The Commission.

The current version of the bill removes the explicit header to extend authorization of The Commission, but nonetheless does in fact broaden its powers and indefinitely extend its authorization and appropriations to support these four white house appointees who control our voting systems.

The Commission is provided various authorizations and is referenced no less than 29 times in this 28 page bill. Towards the end of the bill: "(e) AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS.—There are authorized to be appropriated to the Commission for fiscal year 2008 and each succeeding fiscal year $100,000,000 for payments under this section." This is an indefinite appropriation to keep the beast alive.
