China has barred the press from Tibet for years except on gun-guided tours. In 1993, I entered Tibet as a “tourist.” The photographer I snuck in with me was quickly discovered, her camera smashed, film destroyed.

Poor Tibetans with prayer wheels. “Rioters” and “splitists.”

By time the police searched our room, the documents my wife and I carried from the Dalai Lama’s secretariat were safely in the hands of the persons whose names we made certain not to know.

These photos made it out. These are the “rioters” and “splitists,” as the Chinese call them, including this monk, who’d just gotten out of prison after 27 years. After we left his mountain hermitage (followed by police), he raised the flag of the rising sun, symbol of Free Tibet – and was sent back to prison

This is the face of the occupied living under the iron fist of Chairman Rob – Rob Walton, Chairman of Wal-Mart, whose company controls 700 factories in China, none in the US. And that's what it's all about: don't follow the torch. Follow the money.

God Bless America.

He has. But his  America doesn't include us all. The elite are his

countrymen. The rest of us are fodder for the battlefields and the slaves

of the elite. If we can get a translation of his meaning, outside of words,

we will be able to discern his hypocrisy and hatred.

But first we should bless ourselves! We have sufferred as the

slaves unto Pharoah. We are fed the mind controllers pablum

and have not awaken to the truth.

The America that included "we" is gone. The realization that it

will not return without a massive de-programming is non-sensical.

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss, this November

we will get fooled again!

Unless ............... our collective barking ,and biting every-one's butt

will be a successful translating mechanism.

 

Wolfie says woof woof, do you understand??

it's pretty simple greg

we need a 28th amendment which secures The Vote from private interests. and the best way to do that is for the congress to draft plans for an Official U.S. Voting Unit, and then mandate the voting machine vendors build them to spec.

since it appears the congress will not act, we then need to popularize the idea of holding an Article V Convention so delegates can propose what the congress will not.

Conservative prolife anti-death penalty tree hugger. Believe that less government is good government, government cannot solve anyone's personal problems, the government taking money from one group of people and giving it to another group of people is a crime, and that people should take responsibility for their own lives.

One small step for the voting public

When the SC recently ruled that Voter ID cards were constitutional a large step was taken to prevent voter fraud.  Thousands of people in our state were voting illegally because there was no way to verify that they were legally entitled to vote.  The judges would ask your name, look it up on the rolls, and if you had registered, you could vote without showing one shred of evidence of who you were.  Simple.  Registrations were fraudulent.  People without a real address were registering and then people would show up to vote for them.  No ID was required so who knew.  Our governor fought tooth and nail to prevent voter ID laws from going on the books.  The fraudulent system  got her elected.  There has to be a way to verify the voter's identity then there has to be a way to verify that the votes were counted properly.  That is to prevent fraud by either party.  If you don't think that BOTH parties do funny things on election day then you are stupid.

Palast's 'article' is nothing more than a big advertisement for his materials.  He says 50,000 incendiary things without a shred of evidence and sticks his hand out for donations.  Wonderful.

fraud

The Supreme Court did not and could not find even one documented case of vote fraud.

The very idea is ridiculous. Stealing votes, one at a time?

Vote fraud is a straw man, a device for accomplishing a hidden agenda. The GOP is running so scared they are trying to change the rules. Because they know if they don't cheat, they can't win. 

Look at all the rules Bush has tried to change. I thought a Jayhawk would be more sensitive to matters of honor like torture and the abolition of most of the Bill of Rights. Why do you suppose the Military Commissions Act absolves Bush, et al, of crimes going back to 1989?

Evidently there must be some crimes. The smell of this group has me looking for a whole herd of bulls.
