Fraud Rife In Baghdad Elections; “Israeli” Reporters Allowed To Vote

The correspondents found that the Iraqi Communist Party, a lackey organization of the US invaders, and the National Accord Party, which is led by puppet “prime minister” Iyyad ‘Allawi, hired groups of women, children, youths and unemployed persons to work for them. These people were trotted before television cameras several times on Sunday to claim that there was “heavy voter turnout” at the polling places.

Mafkarat al-Islam correspondents found that those hired hands also claimed that Iraqi puppet police and puppet national guardsmen were “at their best” helping voters get to the polls.

Along similar lines, Jalal Talibani’s Kurdish chauvinist party distributed money and medium-sized transistor radios to all who agreed to wander over to the polls and vote, in an effort to encourage Kurdish voters to support their election slate.

Mr. ‘Ali Nayif a resident of al-Karakh ath-Thani district in Baghdad said that in their local polling place everyone entering the building was asked to vote for a specific candidate. In some cases, he said, election workers would mark ballot form for the voter.

The second most senior Mafkarat al-Islam correspondent in Baghdad reported that he confirmed four cases of false votes within just five minutes in the polling station in Mahallat ash-Shaykh Ma‘ruf al-Karakhi. Members of Ahmad Chelebi’s Iraqi National Congress Party were bringing in non-Iraqi citizens, probably Iranians, and the party members would issue them false Iraqi citizenship certificates, which they would use to get into the polls where they would then vote for Chelebi’s party. One election observer who worked for the United Nations also observed such a case, the reporter noted, saying that he told a foreign news company “we have uncovered just four cases of fraud and we don’t know how many might have taken place that went unregistered.”

The correspondents noted that the US and puppet authorities had already designated certain specific satellite TV stations to cover the elections by conducting interviews with voters and officials. Those interviews were then distributed to all the other networks and news agencies. The officially designated satellite companies were al-‘Arabiyah Satellite Network, the Iraqi Qanat ash-Sharqiyah, the Iraqi government TV station, and the American CNN.

The Mafkarat al-Islam correspondent in Baghdad’s al-Karradah district reported that that district was supposed to have 22,000 voters. In fact only 700 showed up, all of them followers of the parties running candidates. The al-Karradah district is known to be one of the biggest in Baghdad in terms of population density, and it is predominantly Christian.

“Israeli” Newspaper Correspondents Vote In Iraqi Election

The Zionist newspaper Ma‘ariv on Sunday published a picture of its correspondent for Arab affairs, Jaki Huji, who is of Iraqi descent but a citizen of “Israel” voting in the Iraqi election in an election office in Jordan. The newspaper reported that Huji arrived in Amman with the Iraqi passport of his grandfather and the “Israeli” passports of himself and his father. Though he was questioned at the polling place, he was allowed to vote in the Iraqi election.

The correspondent said that he voted for a pro-western party. Huji said that another Zionist journalist working for Haaretz was also able to vote in the Iraqi election as were two more in Washington and London.

Whoever the U.S. wants to win will win. Otherwise, if the Iraqis elect someone we dislike, we will dust off the playbook from years past and send in the Marines.
