Groundbreaking New Book-Mark Crispin Miller: Smoking Gun Evidence Of Widespread Election Fraud
Edited on Thu Apr-24-08 10:35 AM by kpete
This book encapsulates years of research to provide what used to come from investigative journalists -- before mainstream corporate media cornered the market on misinformation and tabloid news. A loser can win a rigged election in America because counting the vote is now the privy of private enterprise. Allegations of election fraud are doused by a state of denial that it can't happen in the greatest democracy in the world. But fact after fact reveals that, just like the public airwaves, there is no Fairness Doctrine when it comes to elections. Loser Take All equally blames Republican operatives, spineless Democrats, and a complacent Fourth Estate for turning our great republic into a renegade nation. There is a sliver of hope to return our government to We the People.

Read this book, if you dare, and then share it with others.

Groundbreaking New Book Documents Widespread Election Fraud

by Jason Leopold Page 2 of 2 page(s)

http://www.opednews.com

"Loser Take All" backed up by smoking gun evidence in the form of documents and on the record accounts from public officials and behind-the-scenes executives employed by e-voting companies.

Perhaps no one has been passionate about this issue or has worked as hard to attract mainstream attention to the cause than bestselling author Mark Crispin Miller and blogger Brad Friedman, who co-authored an essay for the book with voting rights advocate Michael Richardson.

......................

“On the one hand, there's that all-too-human tendency to turn a blind eye to enormous threats because they're just too devastating to acknowledge.. Better, therefore, to pretend they don't exist,” Miller said. “This sort of blindness is, of course, well-known to therapists, who often have to struggle with it as they deal with families ravaged by addiction or domestic violence--families whose members can't and won't allow themselves to see that, for example, mommy is an alcoholic, or that daddy is a batterer. When they hear the awful truth, they just go deaf to it, and stay stone-blind to all the painful evidence that it is so.”

But if progressives are truly defined as a movement of change than it is the authors of “Loser Take All,” including Larisa Alexandrovna, Paul Lehto, Steven Rosenfeld, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., and a dozen others, who deserve the accolades for speaking up mightily and forcing the powers that be in Washington, D.C in the blogosphere, and in the media, to take note.

“Loser Take All” is indeed an important historical document; a damning indictment of the electoral process that also tells the real story of how Bush was “elected” to a second term.

1. So is that what Nancy Pelosi is doing... She is responding
to the abuse with cold stone silence?

2. If there is evidence of voter fraud why not grand jury indictments?
I tend to believe what the book is saying but why doesn't our judicial system get involved?

8. In their own way much like
the cheated Dems themselves. The bad reasons of course are that they are too involved and defined by the system to police their own. The good reasons that serve as excuses involve not having the judiciary "interfere" in the election processes and most notably the clever laws written by the legislative branch to render them powerless. You only have to watch a few cases wander through the judicial system to see that it is the old club closing ranks symptom with all the rationalizations and self delusions one expects piled into judgments, reluctance, "my hands are tied", the costly burdensome thing called accountability. If all criminals had that going into court we certainly wouldn't have an overcrowded prison problem at all. But as in the current strata of privileged classes, criminal cheaters and winning losers are the most self-protected crooks in the USA. Watching Florida in 2000 was instructive, but after it seemed the judiciary closed ranks against taking up the cause of election reform- because theft won and power punishes. The Civil Rights avenue shut down by the executive cheater, the cheat machines STILL treated as mumbo jumbo from outer space by supposedly educated, intelligent officials and judges. The phony money barrier, that Jim Crow kind of law that makes accountability expensive for the just. Threatening the Florida Supremes with impeachment.

We all have the myth of the lone wolf lawyer or DA beating the system. Why? They rarely do unless the system is very lazy that day. Crooked appointees and crooked elections are wedded hip and thigh. Cowardice and moderation never divorce. The people are never informed, never led, never given sane priorities or respect for their clear wishes or votes.

Everyone seems waiting for someone else to solve the problem. The madness is most obvious in the victimized Dems never leading even their own party to recognize that there is a problem, what it is exactly and what MUST be done. In other countries they boycott elections, risk jail, take to the streets and rely on the people rallying to their cause- even if they are not allowed to "win" elections. Our people are totally mystified by the conspiracy- yes, a real one- of stupefied silence, minor grousing AFTER elections, and apparent stupidity so vast in the face of evidence one can be thankful Dems recognize global warming, the failed Iraq War etc. The people are lost in a fog of mythic haze, touted "issues", petty points, and the sound of dropped balls, the dying screams as votes, wealth, health and existence disappear into the static.

By design, by complicity, the judiciary, the DA's, the pols support this "system". Since it is all, without exception because in the aggregate corrupted absolutely, illegitimate, the alternative seems to make truly applied justice into a threatening anarchy. In that stage of corruption, actually making justice function is a primal threat to the disease dressed in robes of power.

3. "So, the Conservatives got the government, while the Liberals got the English Department."
My all time favorite Mark Crispin Miller line. If you've ever worked in the academy and seen the multiple ways English Department infighting, "idealism," and insularity keep them from ever getting out of the university ghetto, the parallels are obvious.
