The majority of Americans would never support the policies we’ve seen for decades if they were not subject to systematic lies bought and paid for through the privatization of campaign financing and corporate media control. If the big lies fail, election fraud is always there to make sure things don’t get out of hand. It’s all about retaining wealth by holding onto power. The stakes are enormous. That’s why the politics surrounding election issues are so vicious.
Do you see any hope out there for free and fair elections?
Yes. Ironically, the successful blitzkrieg on democracy since 2000 created a serious backlash. Presidential approval is in free fall, 26% in some polls. The old way of doing things has been exposed due to the extreme greed of the current practitioners of the craft. Many, no, most people know that elections are a rigged game. The economy continues to stall. If everybody works at Wal-Mart, who’s going to buy laptops and SUVs? People fear for their future.
The public has moved beyond restive and is headed for furious. That’s when elections can start making a difference. The public will resulted in the break up of huge monopolies under Teddy Roosevelt and the social welfare programs of Franklin D. Roosevelt. It can happen again. We need to shine a bright enough light on election fraud to give the public will a chance to successfully navigate this most dangerous sea of corruption.
Are there any publications or videos/films you’d recommend to people who want to catch up before what you predict will be the debacle of 2008?
I highly recommend Mark Crispin Miller’s 2007 updated Fooled Again: The Real Case for Election Reform, Miller’s definitive statement to date on election fraud. Tracy Campbell’s Deliver the Vote is an excellent history of election fraud through our history. Democratic Contraction? Political Consequences of Felon Disenfranchisement in the United States. This source is vital to understand conflict between those who want to expand and contract the vote. Voter suppression through spoiled ballots is demonstrated in Phillip A. Klinkner’s remarkable study, Whose Ballots Don't Count? Spoiled Ballots, FL 2000. American Coup II is essential. This Beginners Guide (2004): A Broken Democracy Crash Course has a great collection of well-organized articles. And of course, there’s RFK Jr.’s ground-breaking article in Rolling Stone on the theft of 2004 and many more resources. Finally, a comprehensive array of articles can be found at Election Fraud News.
