Are the corporations, polls, and media collaborating to heist the election....to McCain?

Have you ever noticed how common it is to declare that a race is “very close” ? Ever wondered what the actual purpose is in that claim? Of course, when a race is declared to be neck-and-neck, it’s just plain easy to tip the scales in the desired direction. Five percent here, two percent there taken from each untraceably malleable computer in the precincts: That’s all it takes. And further, all it takes is to get the pollsters to cooperate in just plain saying that figures are close. And we unquestioningly believe them!

See how ridiculously easy it is to steal an election (that is, as long as we believe everything we are told) ? And given the corporate funding of the media, see how closely the corporations are involved?

Time to write letters to the editor about this! It’s very important that we get people to be aware of all the games which the media (and corporations) play with us. (How can they succeed in claiming a “close race” every single year without us suspecting anything? Time to wake up and think, Americans! Please spread word!)

c) It is commonly assumed that McCain, having been himself a prisoner of war, would be anti-torture. Guess what. If you check out the Congressional voting record--what a novel idea to vote based on facts instead of assumptions---- he in fact not only voted for the Military Commissions Act (torture bill), but specifically voted against restoration of Habeas Corpus.

How great would such a pro-war, pro-torture kook be at restoring faith in America with the international community? Hmmm….something to talk up in public circles. A key strategy to getting him the hell out of there! He doesn’t even belong in the Candidate circles, or for that matter in public office.

After all, according to US law and the Geneva Conventions, torture is an international crime. Not only did McCain vote for it, but he even opposes the remedy to it. Ahhh, we’ve got him nailed now. That is, assuming that every single reader here----yes, that means YOU----cooperates and helps. Please expose McCain in his pro-torture, pro-war act, everywhere you can turn!

The war OF terror has caused much anxiety among peoples internationally. It makes sense, doesn’t it? After all, war without end is not much fun for other nations to look forward to. The BBC reported that Putin gave a speech to Russians, stating that he would strike back with nuclear weapons against the USA, should we strike them first. The anxiety level is obviously dangerously high. It’s imperative to blockade war mongers from advancing in public office, and just as imperative to get them out of there.

Please talk up McCain’s pro-torture, anti-Habeas Corpus, pro-war voting record!

d) Anybody in favor of campaigning to challenge McCain’s seat in the Senate? After all, Kucinich dropped out of the Presidential race because four challengers were outstripping his fundraising for the Congressional seat. If they could do it to Kucinich, why can’t we just as successfully do it to McCain? All we need is a number of people---not just one---to challenge his seat in the Senate. Bingo! Gone. (Or at least there’s a good chance of it).

e) Ask everybody, everywhere, to check the Congressional voting record before they vote in the Presidential election. Post it to blogs, write emails and ask friends to forward it, post a message to public bulletin boards (asking for permission first), write letters to the editor, etc….just plain spread word everywhere, everywhere! Bingo. It’s the hundredth monkey!

The ACLU’s website has a Congressional voting scorecard, plus analyses of the post-911 legislation which All Americans need to see if they wish not only to be informed voters, but to get us out of the mess we are in. (And, in many cases, to get their heads out of the sand). They need not love or support the ACLU: That is not the point. Instead, the point is to see who is in favor of free speech, who is in favor of torture, who voted for FBI arrest powers without warrant or probable cause, etc….please urge everybody to check it out! It’s very, very important. www.aclu.org

f) Let’s please take this matter very, very seriously. The future of our own nation, and other nations, is at stake. Please let’s not lie down and play doormat to Congress. To give a great sigh of understandable discouragement is to also participate in the game. And the game right now is evil. With war based on lies, what is at stake is life and death itself. Nothing to play with. Legislation to usurp our free speech in the Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act threatens to wrongfully arrest more Americans under the Patriot Act, without warrant or probable cause, than has happened to date in post-911 America. We just can’t let this happen.

Alas, Clinton and Obama both voted for the police state, ie the Patriot Act. Obama voted for the flag burning amendment (jail time for flag burning in protest and as protected form of free speech. Clinton voted against it). Both are pro-war as said. Fortunately though, they both also voted for many positive and liberal things. So they are not trustworthy, but also are a better choice by far than McCain. And neither one of them voted for torture. Yes, they both voted to restore Habeas Corpus. God be praised. At least they have that much sense in their heads.

Thank you for your help in making the issues publicly known. Because by doing so, you will help public sentiment along, tip the votes in the direction supporting the true American cause, and raise awareness among the public. Once the public is on the trail of the election manipulators, they won’t be able to get away with it anymore. 

Please be aware that this article is based on a combination of facts which support an opinion. The fact that corporations fund the stealing of elections has been conclusively proven by the 24year investigative report of Kenneth and James Collier, culminating in their book “Votescam: The Stealing of America”. In an interview on the Black Box Voting website with Victoria Collier, daughter of co-author James Collier, Bev Harris herself says that the Collier's investigative work "takes my breath away". It is no accident that the book is falsely listed as out of print and that the website of Victoria, who prints and distributes the book, has been covered over by the Feds: You can read a brief synopsis of the Collier brothers’ investigation into the media/corporate collaboration in the Truthout article here: http://209.85.173.104/search?q=cache:HTyZ1Bn_-4EJ:www.truthout.com/docs_03/102503C.shtml+a+brief+history+of+election+machine+fraud+in+America&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=us

The conjecture of McCain being crowned is strictly a matter of concerned opinion. Facts may look a certain way, but may or may not prove the opinion. But ultimately, it doesn't matter: Regardless, to dismantle the war mongers is a very important key to reviving the American cause. And hopefully, those Democrats who are pro-war will come around under public pressure, since they also had the good sense to vote against torture and for restoration of habeas corpus. Perhaps they are not as cruel as we may think. Maybe they are just plain concerned about being dubbed as “soft on terror”. And once we effectively break through that word game, there is a chance in dismantling the whole empire of evil based on wars of aggression and oppression of free speech. Thank you again for your help.
