testimony of rigged '00 elections

[thrulookingglass]

Interesting, programmer comes forward and testifies that he wrote code to help rig florida elections:<br><br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>Computer programmer Clinton Curtis testified at the December 13th, 2004 Congressional hearing in Columbus, Ohio naming Republican Congressman Tom Feeney as the person who hired him to prepare vote-rigging software. <br>The programmer claims that he designed and built a "vote rigging" software program at the behest of then Florida Congressman, now U.S. Congressman, Republican Tom Feeney of Florida's 24th Congressional District.<br><br>Clint Curtis, 46, claims that he built the software for Feeney in 2000 while working at a sofware design and engineering company in Oviedo, Florida (Feeney's home district).<br><br>Curtis, in his affidavit, says that as technical advisor and programmer at Yang Enterprises, Inc. (YEI) he was present at company meetings where Feeney was present "on at least a dozen occasions"...</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--><br><br>link: <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.iwilltryit.com/fixed1.htm">www.iwilltryit.com/fixed1.htm</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br> <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p216.ezboard.com/brigorousintuition.showUserPublicProfile?gid=thrulookingglass@rigorousintuition>thrulookingglass</A> at: 10/20/05 10:10 am<br></i>

Scoopnz has oodles on blackbox voting, too. Here’s them:<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/HL0505/S00327.htm">www.scoop.co.nz/stories/H...S00327.htm</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>it was in my bookmarks, so this goes to an older article, but you can easily ‘get there from here’. they were onto diebold from the start. I used my old link because on re-read, I thought I ought to share this, even though it is off-topic. So allow me just a little snip from the page you'll get:<br><br>Maybe progressive journalists who "speak truth to power" should bestow a more accurate name on the DOD: the "Department of Aggression" ("DOA"). <br><br>The Bottom Line: Might As Well Face It, We're (economically)Addicted To War. <br><br>One certainly need not be a pacifist to recognize that the Exhibits A-D provide powerful evidence that the USA is economically addicted to war. If so, this would explain why our political system is dominated by the ultra-militarist War Party and the crypto-fascist Bush family (i.e., the pushers), while our economic system is dominated by the military-industrial complex and its mafiosiesque war-profiteers (i.e., the kingpins).<br> <br>Finally, if the USA is economically addicted to war, that raises some important moral questions. Readers of good conscience should be asking themselves: "Am I willing to engage in loving acts of nonviolent noncooperation with evil in order to stop my nation's wars of aggression? Or will I watch in craven silence as this nation descends - like the Bush family's multigenerational war-profiteers - into a vampiric career of bloodthirsty murderousness? If it's the latter, won't I be sending America's children the depraved message that it's permissible to murder people, so long as it's profitable? Which destiny am I going to choose -- nonviolent redemption or militaristic perdition?"<br> <br>In short, we've proved in Iraq that violence only begets more violence, and war more wars. It's time to show the world the force of our example, not the example of our force. <br><br>me again. we do all know and talk to others about Instant Runoff Voting, don't we? and ditto the fact that public financing of campaigns equals spending millions on the front end to save trillions on the backend?<br><br>or do we need to have a discussion of these two great ideas?<br><br> <p></p><i></i>

Interesting as always Anna. I can't believe the fixing of a federal election can be so obvious with so little scrutiny by courts, media, etc. Guess I shouldn't be surprised by any horrific conspiracies after all the research I/we have done. Is it a fault that I always expect people to realize they are being lied to and perhaps do something about it?! Stop the world! I'm getting off! <p></p><i></i>

tlg, i'm lucky. i have my own experience to prove Joe CAN wake up. cuz i am Joe and I woke up. i am serious as a heart attack (and yes embarrassed beyond description in this crowd) when i tell you that i used to think of myself as well-informed because i watched Good Morning America and Phil Donohue.<br><br>(i myself have caused many a Martian to die laughing, i am sure.) (never intentional)<br><br>the trick is that, to a certain extent every joe has a unique lock, requiring a unique key.<br><br>for me, it was enough to learn i'd been lied to for certain about something i wouldn't have in a million years thought could be lied about. my reaction was "well, glory. what the heck else don't i know!?" <br><br>i hate to be lied to. i can't be the only one. it's one key i think fits a good number of locks. <p></p><i></i>

AnnaLivia, that was my key too, and it unlocked the summer I was 9 years old and watched the entire televised Watergate hearings. My family thought I was a bizarre child, and you should have seen their faces when I brought all my little friends into our living room and made them watch Nixon's resignation! Told them it was an historic event that shouldn't be missed. But, man I was pissed at the president; I thought presidents were supposed to be heroes!<br>Even that didn't prepare me for the truth's of the JFK assassination that I learned in my early 20's. I was livid that the media weren't shouting these facts from the rooftops! I thought the media were supposed to be heroes; anyway, that's what I thought after Watergate. People should know these things so that we could all go down to Langley and drag the bastards out and lynch them.<br>By the time of the 2000 election, nothing surprised me. Clinton had given me hope for some little while before that, too, was dashed. Now, sometimes I believe at least 3 impossible things before breakfast, but I STILL GET MAD AS HELL, AND I DON'T WANT TO TAKE IT ANYMORE.<br>If Fitz disappoints me, I give up. Beam me up, Scotty. <p></p><i></i>
