36. There were a more, many more, than the 100,000 the media
reported in DC on September 24.

There were more at the Jazz Funeral, Wake for Democracy, etc, than the few hundred the press reported.

You know, covering events is hard werk for our press corpse. Cuts into the time they need for body wraps, facial peels, wardrobe, manicures, make-up and hair.

3. Damn, if only there were a million people
Then our MSM might deem it newsworthy and give it a 10 second mention.

Are the MSM covering this at all?

17. This is great....
I've been hearing about evidence that there was vote tampering. They also used electronic voting machines by Deibold. We all know what that spells. Calderon is going to help the SPP get what they want. I hope Obrador wins so we don't have that crap going on.

62. Students often can be some of the best teachers
The 'MINISTERS' will now serve you. Concepts and details have to coexist to make themselves relevant and without the idea of conspiracy all humans would be in the dark when it come to looking for clues to what is up. Alex Jones loves to hammer on people who have been placed in positions of power (with good reason in my opinion). He likes to point out the language they use, their lexicons and even just the way they carry themselves to show how much contempt some of them have for the rest of us.

All too often we are left with just so few clues that the idea parsing language our best hope. In short, not saluting the appointed king because he doesn't really have ALL of best interest at heart is where we all can meet.

Btw being unfamiliar with terms different groups use does not make one a fool per say, but only different and using a different locution

40. Mexico used paper ballots and Calderon's brother-in-law wrote the software
that tabulates the votes. There is still software in there...

The fact that they stole an election on paper is a warning to us all that there is no perfect system, that checks & balances must be installed at all stages in the process.

69. AMEN and I hope
if the truth comes out - and their democracy is 'served', that ours will COUNT as well.
bush is was NEVER elected president of the US - and our world would be so very different if enough people had told the truth and stood up for our democracy. (I'm not blaming Gore)
In hindsight maybe more could have been done- I don't know- NONE of US knew HOW much tragedy we were in for as a result of the Bush presidency. I bellieve Al Gore did what he felt was the best for US, at that time.

60. Jesse Jackson attempted a "shadow innaguration" after the stolen 2000
election. He would've drawn massive crowd in Florida but the rightwingers paid off some bimbo to come forward a week earlier with her story of their "affair".
