Robert Kennedy, Greg Palast: The Final Investigation?

Posted By Greg Palast On April 29, 2008 @ 10:05 pm In Articles | No Comments

One million Democrats attempting to vote in this year’s primaries found their names missing from voter rolls. WHERE THE HELL DID THEY GO?Palast and Kennedy

Law professor Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and journalist Greg Palast are launching an investigation. We want to know: where are these votes? Who swiped them? How? And how do we prevent it from happening in November?

The investigations team needs your help. RIGHT NOW. The not-for-profit Investigative Fund needs support to pay the cost of phones, airfare, microphones (hidden, when needed), detective agency fees, camera crew, researchers and all the infrastructure of inquest.

We need, right now, two dozen Producers to put up at least [1] $1000 each to pay for the preliminary investigation and production. You’ll get a tax deduction, a box loaded with DVDs of the finished films now planned from broadcast internationally – and maybe, just maybe, an honest election.

Because it’s our plan to put out the information on the manipulation of the vote BEFORE November.
Can’t put up [1] $1,000? Then donate [2] $500 and get a package of all of my books and DVDs signed to you. Even a [3] $100 gift will be put to good use – and we’ll send you my [3] three latest DVD films, including “The Elections Files” ([4] Watch the trailer) from our BBC TV investigations.

Bobby Kennedy, in his masterful article in Rolling Stone, exposed how Ohio votes vanished in 2004. The Palast team, for BBC Television, unmasked the vicious ‘scrub’ of Black voters in Florida in 2000.
Now Kennedy and Palast have joined together with an extraordinary team of investigators to hunt the missing votes of 2008 BEFORE we have a repeat of 2000 and 2004.

I haven’t sought funding from you all this year – but now I must. Neither I nor RFK take a dime of compensation from the [5] Palast Investigative Fund. But the fund’s hit empty and we can’t ask a our brilliant crew to continue to survive on dog food – they’re beginning to bark at embarrassing moments!

Become a Producer and get personalized signed copies of the books RFK calls, “investigative masterpieces,” my books, [6] The Best Democracy Money Can Buy and [7] Armed Madhouse.

Or donate [8] AT LEAST $100 – try to make it more – and get [8] Armed Madhouse (hardbound) and the CD, “Live from the Armed Madhouse,” signed.

Our investigation is non-partisan. It’s not about saving Democrats, but saving DEMOCRACY.

But we know who's playing games with the ballots.

FACT: On Super-Tuesday, the number of Democrats missing from voter rolls in New Mexico exceeded George Bush’s 2004 ‘victory’ total by 300%. No wonder McCain’s campaign says, New Mexico is “in play.” The question is who’s playing with it?

Join our effort. If you’ve got a tip, a document, a witness – [9] CONTACT US. And add your name to the list of Producers and Supporters.

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.

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.
