The Trump regime has killed at least 156 people in their unlawful bombing campaign of civilian boats near the Caribbean. The ACLU says this is essentially extrajudicial murders, human rights abuses and crimes against humanity

 

For nearly a year, the Trump has conducted dozens of deadly aerial attacks on small boats in international waters in the Caribbean Sea and the Eastern Pacific Ocean which has killed at at least 227 unnamed people in 68 strikes.

TRUMP AND REPUBLICANS WASTING MILLIONS ON FISHING BOAT STRIKES

How much do Hegseth’s strikes cost the US? The cost of munitions used in military operations against small vessels, such as those near Venezuela, typically ranges from approximately
$40,000 to over $200,000 per unit. The specific cost depends on the type of weapon used, which often includes precision-guided missiles rather than general-purpose “bombs.”
Based on analyses of strike videos and expert reports, the U.S. military has primarily used the following types of munitions in recent counter-narcotics operations:

AGM-114 Hellfire missiles: These laser-guided missiles are the most commonly identified munition and cost approximately $100,000 to $220,000 each, depending on the variant and contract specifics.
GBU-39B Small Diameter Bombs (SDB): These precision-guided bombs are estimated to cost around $40,000 per unit.
AGM-176 Griffin missiles: These smaller, lighter missiles were also mentioned as a potential munition in some cases, with a cost of about $127,000 per unit (based on FY2019 costs).

It is important to note that these costs represent the purchase price of the munition itself. The overall operational cost of a strike mission, which includes the flight hours of the aircraft (such as drones or helicopters), maintenance, and support logistics, adds significantly to the total expense, often running into hundreds of thousands of dollars for a single engagement

DISTURBING TRUTH About Trump’s WAR On Venezuela

Vessel struck by US military off Venezuela was heading back to shore, AP sources say

The U.S. military strike on what the Trump administration says was a drug-carrying speedboat from Venezuela came after the vessel had turned around and was headed back to shore.

Per the above article: Vessel struck by US military off Venezuela was heading back to shore

“Sen. Rand Raul, R-Ky., has said it was unlikely the boat was headed to U.S. shores, which would be a lengthy trip for such a vessel.

Paul — a libertarian-leaning Republican with a long history of challenging executive overreach, particularly in national security matters — has argued the U.S. can’t simply kill people suspected of wrongdoing without due process.

In Venezuela, Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello on Thursday accused the U.S. government of murder, characterized its version of events as “a tremendous lie” and questioned how the people on board the targeted vessel were linked to the gang.

“And how did they identify them as members of the Tren de Aragua? Did they have, I don’t know, a chip? Did they have a QR code and (the U.S. military) read it from above in the dark?” Cabello said. “They openly confessed to murdering 11 people.”

Cabello said Venezuelan authorities are investigating the strike but did not provide any details. Cabello also rejected the U.S. government’s assertion that the targeted vessel was carrying 11 people and drugs, explaining that the video released by the White House last week appeared to show a type of small fishing boat known as a “peñero” in Venezuela.

“If you put 11 people on that peñero, there’s no room for anything else because when those peñeros go to sea, the fishermen have to carry gasoline for the return trip so as not to be left adrift,” Cabello said during a meeting of ruling-party members.”

Iran wants Revenge against Trump & his lawless regime causing Trump to fear for his life

 

Israel shared intelligence with the United States that Iran had recently devised a new plan to assassinate President Donald Trump, two sources familiar with matter told CNN. One of the sources said the warning came this week. Another source said the US had picked up a steady drumbeat of intelligence in recent weeks about possible plans to assassinate Trump, but the warning from Israel was new and concerned a specific plot.

The details of that plot were not immediately clear, nor was it clear if the US had detected it separately from the Israeli warning. Asked for comment on the Israeli warning, which was first reported by the Wall Street Journal, the White House pointed to Trump’s recent comments on Iran’s desire to kill him.

Taylor Farms contributed $2 million to Trump and Republicans as they postponed a rule to help the government limit the spread of foodborne illnesses. a lobbying group that Taylor Farms belongs to successfully pushed to delay a rule that would have helped the government more quickly trace contaminations back to specific locations – which could have helped prevent the illness at hand, cyclosporiasis, from proliferating into thousands of cases nationwide. The Trump administration moved to delay the tracing rule last year. Several days later, Taylor Farms donated $1 million to a pro-Trump super PAC. That summer, Taylor Farms contributed another $1 million to House Republicans’ super PAC, and a few months later, Republicans in Congress enshrined the rule delay as part of a funding bill.  Source: zeteo.com/p/taylor-farms-trump-donations-explosive-diarrhea

 

Taylor Farms Spent Big on MAGA and Anti-Regulatory Lobbying Before Diarrhea Outbreak

The company donated more than $3.6 million to conservative groups between 2020 and 2025, including $1 million to the MAGA Inc. super PAC.

Per the above article: “Taylor Farms has apparently taken issue with the CDC’s and FDA’s handling of the investigation into the current cyclospora outbreak, which has sickened thousands of people across multiple states. The company recently claimed that the FDA “apologized” after announcing a false-positive test of a sample of Taylor Farms’ lettuce; the FDA told reporters that no, actually, an official apology never happened. (The company did not respond to WIRED’s requests for comment.)

Prior to the false positive and the non-apology, Taylor Farms executives met with White House and FDA officials to discuss what a spokesperson for the company called “shortfalls” in the government agencies’ response. The New York Times reported that the meeting followed Taylor Farms’ recent hire of Trent Morse, the former deputy director of the White House Presidential Personnel Office, who left the Trump administration to start a government relations firm in September”.

RedShift: How The GOP Rigged Our Elections

Writer / Author Thom Hartmann discusses how Republicans have been rigging elections for the past 50 years and how exit polls in states like Florida showed Hillary Clinton winning the 2016 election.

 

Dr Beth Clarkson, a ASQ-Certified Quality Engineer with a PhD in Statistics, stated she found patterns indicative of manipulation in voting machines which goes across multiple states and election cycles.

“This is not just an anomaly that occurred in one place,” Clarkson said. “It is a pattern that has occurred repeatedly in elections across the United States. The pattern could be voter fraud or a demographic trend that has not been picked up by extensive polling, she said.

“I do not know why this trend is there, but I know that the pattern is there and one way to establish that it is or is not election fraud is to go and do a physical audit of paper records of voting machines,” she said.

Clarkson became more interested in the issue after reading a paper written by statisticians Francois Choquette and James Johnson in 2012 of the Republican primary results showing strong statistical evidence of election manipulation in Iowa, New Hampshire, Arizona, Ohio, Oklahoma, Alabama, Louisiana, Wisconsin, West Virginia and Kentucky.

Clarkson said she couldn’t believe their findings, so she checked their math and found it was correct and checked their model selection and found it appropriate. And then she pulled additional data from other elections they hadn’t analyzes and found the same pattern”. [source: cjonline.com/story/news/politics/state/2015/04/01/wichita-state-mathematician-sues-kris-kobach-sedgwick-county-elections-commisioner/16633765007]

In September 2006, Feeney was named one of the “20 Most Corrupt Members of Congress”.

This shows Republicans history of efforts to rig / flip elections so it would be undetectable.   Also, many voting machines and software is made by Republican owners.

Per the above article: NSA Analyst Proves GOP Is Stealing Elections

Analysis of recent election data has revealed a worrying pattern of potential fraud. In states where the margin of victory is less than 10%, the same mathematical formula has been found to consistently result in votes being flipped from Democrat to Republican. This has been the case in federal, senatorial, congressional and gubernatorial elections since 2008, and in the 2012 primary contests from other Republicans to Mitt Romney.

The five major voting machine companies have all been found to have close financial ties to the GOP, raising questions of conflict of interest. Tagg Romney, son of the former presidential candidate, has denied any such conflict, despite his investment in Hart Intercivic and Diebold.

A retired NSA analyst has applied a simple formula to election results in Arizona, and found evidence of systemic and coordinated election fraud on a large scale. However, this appears to be limited to larger precincts, as anomalies in smaller precincts are more easily detected.

“Easy to Cheat”

Michael Duniho, a retired NSA analyst, has spent the past seven years investigating voting anomalies in his home state of Arizona and Pima County. His research has focused on a 2006 RTA Bond issue election, which has been subject to much discussion in the media. According to Duniho, “It is really easy to cheat using computers to count votes, since you can’t see what is going on in the machine.”

Duniho applied a mathematical model to the voting results from the largest precincts in Arizona and found that the Republican candidate in every election since 2008 had gained 8-10% in the polls, while the Democratic candidate had lost 8-10%. This swing of up to 20 points could be enough to swing an election, unless the candidate was already losing badly.

Duniho, with decades of experience in deciphering large amounts of data for the NSA, was determined to understand why this pattern was only occurring in the largest precincts.

Nose Counting

Francois Choquette and James Johnson have uncovered an intriguing phenomenon in the February Republican primary contest in South Carolina. An unusually large number of votes were cast for Mitt Romney in larger precincts, while Paul and Santorum votes trended downward. This prompted Choquette to examine the results in all 50 states, where he found a 10% switch in votes from Democrat to GOP in all states except Utah. Further investigation revealed that Romney had used the same technique against John McCain in Maricopa County in 2008, although McCain’s lead was too large to be affected.

Given the sheer scale of the task, Choquette has provided a set of instructions to enable others to replicate the analysis in their own county or state. The implications of this research could be far-reaching and Choquette’s work is certainly worthy of further examination.

Stealing Votes

Analysis of voting patterns in Arizona has revealed a significant discrepancy between the size of precincts and the results of the election. According to Professor Duniho, if the percentages of votes remained consistent between precincts, the trend line would be flat. However, the reality is that the lines slope downwards for Democrats and upwards for Republicans. This phenomenon is particularly evident in the 2012 Presidential primary, where votes for Rick Santorum and Ron Paul were systematically bled off and credited to Mitt Romney. After Duniho’s spreadsheet was completed, the actual vote totals from other Arizona election contests were compared, further confirming the discrepancy.

Analysis of the 2010 elections in Arizona has revealed evidence of manipulation. From Governor Brewer to Senator McCain and Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, the trends lines all indicated that a single individual had inserted a program into the system’s central computer, flipping votes. The results were astonishing: Governor Brewer had actually lost her election and Gabby Gifford’s slim victory over Tea Party Conservative Jesse Kelly was much greater than the reported 1%.

John Duniho, a political analyst, has called for strong hand count audits to confirm the integrity of the elections. This would involve comparing hand counts to the official reports. Such measures are essential to ensure the legitimacy of the electoral process.

Ohio Precedent

For years, Republicans have been accused of vote tampering in elections. In 2004, the presidential election in Ohio and Florida brought these allegations to the forefront. In Ohio, GOP consultant Michael Connell was accused of creating a computer program with a trap door that shifted Democratic votes to the Republican Party. Connell was subpoenaed as a witness in a lawsuit against then-Secretary of State Ken Blackwell, and lawyers for the plaintiff asked the Department of Justice to provide Connell with security due to two threats made against his life by people associated with Karl Rove. Tragically, Connell was killed in a plane crash before the trial began.

In Florida, the University of California at Berkeley’s Quantitative Methods Research Team conducted a study that found anomalies between Florida counties using touch-screen voting and those using other methods that could not be explained statistically. The study showed that counties using electronic voting resulted in a disproportionate increase in votes for President Bush. Michael Hout, a Berkeley professor who conducted the study, said that the evidence was too strong to ignore, noting that the probability of such evidence occurring where the true difference is zero is less than once in a thousand chances.

Don’t Trust, Verify

The integrity of the upcoming US election is under scrutiny after an analysis by statistician Richard Duniho found evidence of vote-flipping. This could only be possible if computerized voting machines were programmed to steal votes. Calls to conduct hand counts of ballots by precinct to verify the results have been unsuccessful in Pima County, Arizona, where anomalies were first detected in 2006. With the election just 12 days away, it is unclear whether a judge will be willing to reverse past trends and permit access to ballots.

The implications of this are concerning. More than 100 million Americans will cast their ballots, believing their vote will be fairly counted. If the analysis is correct, criminals could be stealing up to 10% of votes without consequence. This could have a significant impact on the outcome of the election, which is much closer than in 2008 when President Obama won by a large margin. It is essential that the American democratic system is not undermined by another election crisis, raising questions over the last three national Presidential election results.

Don’t Take Our Word

As the US election results continue to pour in, the need for accuracy and transparency has never been greater. In the UK, paper ballots are used and the final outcome can take up to three days to be finalized. This is because every ballot is transparently hand-counted, providing citizens with the assurance that their votes are counted accurately.

The Justice Department’s insistence that results must be reported by 11 pm for the television networks is not only misguided, but irresponsible. It is time for Americans to demand hand ballot counts, and to reject the notion of being victimized by vote fraud. The news that Serbia, Belarus and Kazakhstan are sending election monitors to watch the US election is a stark reminder of the need for accuracy and transparency in this process. It is time for Americans to take control of their own destiny and ensure that their votes are counted accurately.

 

Republicans have been using unscrupulous, treasonous tactics to rig and steal elections for over 50 years.

 

GOP’s History of Treasonous Tactics to Win Elections

Members of Ronald Reagan’s presidential campaign covertly negotiated with Iranian leaders to undermine incumbent President Jimmy Carter by delaying the release of 66 American hostages detained in Iran. This deal with Iran caused the delay the release of American hostages for a year past the time they could have been released, to help Reagan win the 1980 election. This became known as the 1980 “October Surprise”.  The hostage situation, which began when Iranian revolutionaries seized the U.S. embassy in Tehran, was one of the biggest news stories of 1980, and Carter’s inability to resolve it is widely believed to have contributed to his loss. We now know the reason President Carter was unable to negotiate the release of the hostages was due to Reagan’s presidential campaign covertly negotiating with Iranian leaders, promising not to release them until after Reagan was elected.

By the time of the election in November 1968, LBJ had evidence Nixon had sabotaged the Vietnam war peace talks. Nixon feared a breakthrough at the Paris Peace talks designed to find a negotiated settlement to the Vietnam war, and he knew this would derail his campaign. In late October 1968 there were major concessions from Hanoi which promised to allow meaningful talks to get underway in Paris – concessions that would justify Johnson calling for a complete bombing halt of North Vietnam. To sabotage these efforts, Nixon set up a clandestine back-channel involving Anna Chennault, a senior campaign adviser, who convinced the South Vietnamese pull out of peace talks, with promises of them getting a better deal if Nixon was elected President. This helped Nixon get elected, resulting in the war dragging on years afterwards, causing the unnecessary deaths of thousands of U.S. Troops and the deaths of South Vietnamese.

 

Nixon Prolonged the Vietnam War to get elected President, which cost thousand of lives

 

 

 

Nixon ran on a platform that opposed the Vietnam war, but to win the election, he needed the war to continue

In 1968, the Paris Peace talks, intended to put an end to the 13-year-long Vietnam War, failed because an aide working for then-Presidential candidate Richard Nixon convinced the South Vietnamese to walk away from the dealings, says a new report by the BBC’s David Taylor. By the late 1960s Americans had been involved in the Vietnam War for nearly a decade, and the ongoing conflict was an incredibly contentious issue, says PBS:

In 1967, with American troop strength in Vietnam reaching 500,000, protest against U.S. participation in the Vietnam War had grown stronger as growing numbers of Americans questioned whether the U.S. war effort could succeed or was morally justifiable. They took their protests to the streets in peace marches, demonstrations, and acts of civil disobedience. Despite the country’s polarization, the balance of American public opinion was beginning to sway toward “de-escalation” of the war.

Nixon feared a breakthrough at the Paris Peace talks designed to find a negotiated settlement to the Vietnam war, and he knew this would derail his campaign.

In late October 1968 there were major concessions from Hanoi which promised to allow meaningful talks to get underway in Paris – concessions that would justify Johnson calling for a complete bombing halt of North Vietnam. This was exactly what Nixon feared.

President Johnson had at the time a habit of recording all of his phone conversations, and newly released tapes from 1968 detailed that the FBI had “bugged” the telephones of the South Vietnamese ambassador and of Anna Chennault, one of Nixon’s aides. Nixon records show that in 1968, as a presidential candidate, he used Anna Chennault as his liaison in Vietnam, to persuade them to refuse a cease-fire being brokered by President Lyndon Johnson. This was done to hurt Democratic Presidential candidate Hubert Humphrey and help Nixon.

In the recently released tapes, we can hear Johnson being told about Nixon’s interference by Defence Secretary Clark Clifford. The FBI had bugged the South Vietnamese ambassadors phone. They had Chennault lobbying the ambassador on tape. Johnson was justifiably furious — he ordered Nixon’s campaign be placed under FBI surveillance. Johnson passed along a note to Nixon that he knew about the move. Nixon played like he had no idea why the South backed out, and offered to travel to Saigon to get them back to the negotiating table.

Though the basic story of Nixon’s involvement in stalling the Vietnam peace talks has been around before, the new tapes, says the Atlantic Wire, describe how President Johnson knew all about the on-goings but chose not to bring them to the public’s attention: he thought that his intended successor, Hubert Humphrey, was going to beat Nixon in the upcoming election anyway. And, by revealing that he knew about Nixon’s dealings, he’d also have to admit to having spied on the South Vietnamese ambassador.

Johnson was livid. He even called the Republican Senate Minority Leader, Everett Dirksen to complain that “they oughtn’t be doing this. This is treason.” “I know,” was Dirksen’s feeble reply.

Eventually, Nixon won by just 1 percent of the popular vote. “Once in office he escalated the war into Laos and Cambodia, with the loss of an additional 22,000 American lives, before finally settling for a peace agreement in 1973 that was within grasp in 1968,” says the BBC.

This treason cost many lives. To Nixon, getting elected was more important than the lives of our Troops or Vietnamese people. Lack of empathy and decency seems to be a common trait of Right Wingers, such as Nixon, Reagan and Trump.

 

REPUBLICAN RIGGING ELECTIONS BY GERRYMANDERING

Republicans have been Rigging Elections by Gerrymandering for years

Through Gerrymandering, Republicans has made it almost impossible to be removed from office in some districts. Since they feel safe from being removed from office, they have no motivation to compromise. They are pursuing radical right wing agendas such as cutting assistance to the poor, cutting planned parenthood funding and passing anti-aborting “War on Women” legislation when the majority of Americans do not support these policies.

 

Republicans War on Democracy began in 2010 when they began hyper-gerrymandering every state they took control of. Republicans injected $30 million, much of it from dark money, often targeting vulnerable blue state Democrats in races that wouldn’t otherwise draw a lot of national funding.  The plan was called REDMAP

When the midterm elections were done, Republicans had gained unilateral control of 11 state legislatures, upping their total to 25. Between then and the 2012 elections, GOP lawmakers in these states had largely undisputed power over redrawing congressional districts. This helped allow Republicans to maintain control of the House, even though Democrats received over 1 million more votes.

The Republican State Leadership Committee issued a memo stating “Controlling the redistricting process in these states would have the greatest impact on determining how both state legislative and congressional district boundaries would be drawn. Drawing new district lines in states with the most redistricting activity presented the opportunity to solidify Radical Right Wing policy making at the state level and maintain a Republican stronghold in the U.S. House of Representatives for the next decade.”

 

Rigged: The Voter Suppression Playbook chronicles how our right to vote is being undercut by a decade of unscrupulous tactics by Republicans, including the partisan use of gerrymandering and voter purges, and the weakening of the Voting Rights Act by the Supreme Court. The film captures real-time voter purges in North Carolina and voter intimidation in Texas.

The documentary was principally filmed during the 2016 election and exposes the nefarious playbook of voter suppression tactics being used to subvert the growing demographic tide of non-white and younger voters from fully participating in America’s democracy.

How The GOP Manipulated Ohio Elections

After winning single-party control of the state in the 2010 elections, Ohio Republicans set out to redraw the state’s congressional map to their advantage. What unfolded is one of the most egregious examples of partisan gerrymandering in modern history. Rather than working through the official legislative process which involved a bipartisan task force, Ohio Republicans and national GOP operatives rented a secret hotel room in Columbus, known as “The Bunker.” They designed a map that would give Republicans a 12-4 advantage over Democrats, when it came to “winning” districts, and therefore, congressional seats. This unconstitutional, partisan advantage is locked in until 2022, unless stopped.

The United States constitution is severely flawed when more often than not in the last few elections the majority of people voting for a particular party did not receive their relative representation. Democrats received 20 million more votes in the Senate than Republicans in 2014, yet Republicans won big.

The same occurred in the House of Representatives in 2012.

House Democrats out-earned their Republican counterparts by 1.17 million votes. Read another way, Democrats won 50.59 percent of the two-party vote. Still, they won just 46.21 percent of seats, leaving the Republicans with 234 seats and Democrats with 201.

REPUBLICANS RIGGING ELECTIONS BY VOTER PURGES

The Party Of Voter Suppression

The Republican effort to make it harder to vote continues unabated, with hundreds of thousands purged from voter rolls in two key states. Aired on 12/17/19.

 

 

2000 ELECTION RIGGED

 

The 2000 election was rigged before the first vote was cast

Jeb Bush was the Republican Governor of the State of Florida and brother of the Republican Presidential candidate George W. Bush. Republican Secretary of State, Katherine Harris was also co-chair of Bush’s Florida campaign, clearly a conflict of interest in conducting a fair and impartial election. Jeb Bush and Katherine Harris promised to “Deliver Florida” to George W. Bush as reported in numerous newspaper articles.

 

Secretary of State, Katherine Harris and Governor Jeb Bush had the motive and the means to make sure Florida’s decisive electoral votes were “delivered” to George W. Bush. They accomplished this by illegally purging thousands of black voters off of the Florida voter rolls, ensuring an unfair advantage to George W. Bush, as shown in the above video.

 

As shown in the “2000 Election Rigged for Bush” video, ChoicePoint / DBT was given a $4 million no-bid contract under the Jeb Bush administration which wrongly and illegally purged thousands of African Americans from the Florida voter rolls.

According to the Brennan Center for Justice “Florida registrants were purged from the rolls if 80 percent of the letters of their last names were the same as those of persons with criminal convictions. Those wrongly purged included Reverend Willie D. Whiting Jr., who, under the matching criteria, was considered the same person as Willie J. Whiting. Without specific guidelines for or limitations on the authority of election officials conducting purges, eligible voters are regularly made unnecessarily vulnerable”.

As it turned out, almost everyone on the Florida purged voters list had the right to vote.

 

Antonin Scalia and his Radical Right Wing majority majority of 5 “justices” subverted democracy & engaged in partisan politics by stopping the 2000 election vote count. The above video explains the shocking details.

This caused George W. Bush to be installed as President. At the time the votes were stopped by the Supreme Court, there were only 154 votes separating Al Gore from George W. Bush.

With only 154 votes separating Al Gore from George W. Bush,  it’s easy to see how purging thousands of black voters being off of the Florida voter rolls rigged the 2000 election and handed it to George W. Bush on a Silver Platter.

If all of the illegally disqualified voters had been allowed to vote and all votes counted, the total votes would have decisively shown Al Gore to be the winner of the State of Florida and therefore the Presidency.

It was Jeb Bush’s illegal voter purge and Republicans who subverted Democracy by not allowing the votes to be counted that caused the installation of George W. Bush and the US to have a Radical Right Wing majority in the Supreme Court.

 

Let’s not forget that Al Gore received 543,895 more votes than George W. Bush.  Al Gore was the majority of American’s choice for president so Democracy was violated and the American people got SCREWED and CHEATED.

 

 

REPUBLICANS DETERMINED TO STOP THE VOTE COUNT, OBSTRUCTED DEMOCRACY

As stated in the above article, “John Bolton was one of the pack of lawyers for the Republican presidential ticket who repeatedly sought to shut down recounts of the ballots from Florida counties before those counts revealed that Gore had actually won the state’s electoral votes and the presidency”.

“Miami-Dade County Elections Supervisor David Leahy argued at the time that 2,257 voters had apparently attempted to mark ballot cards for Gore or Bush but had not had them recorded because they had been improperly inserted into the voting machines. A hand count of those ballots revealed that 302 more of them would have gone for Gore than Bush. That shift in the numbers from just one of Florida’s 67 counties would have erased more than half of Bush’s 537-vote lead in the state”.

“But attempts to conduct a hand count were repeatedly blocked by the Bush-Cheney team, culminating with Bolton’s December 9 announcement that, “I’m here to stop the count.” A few days later, the U.S. Supreme Court would stop the count permanently, with a pro-Bush ruling in which five Republican-appointed justices, in the words of noted attorney Vincent Bugliosi, “committed the unpardonable sin of being a knowing surrogate for the Republican Party instead of being an impartial arbiter of the law.”

 

2000 Election GOP House Thugs “Brooks Brothers Riot” also helped stop the Florida Recount which might have declared Al Gore the winner.

 

In this clip from the 2015 CNN documentary Bush v Gore, John “Mac” Stipanovich admits Republicans were determined to stop the vote count to make sure George W. Bush was installed as President, with no regard for Democracy or the will of the American people.

 

According to Lance deHaven-Smith, in his book entitled The Battle for Florida…

“Top Republicans used the powers of their offices to inject partisanship and instill fear down through the ranks of the state bureaucracy. In 1998 political operatives working for the Speaker of the house secretly examined voter registration records to learn the party affiliations of specific state employees and to identify agencies with high concentrations of Democrats”.

After it was determined that the most Democratic agency in the state government was the Florida Department of education, the department was restructured and the positions of many of its employees were eliminated. Florida law forbids any consideration of partisan orientations in state hiring, firing, and contracting, but it fails to contemplate the more sinister possibility that highly partisan elected officials might purge the state bureaucracy indirectly by reorganization and privatization.”

According to hermes-press.com,  “No sooner had he taken the oath of office than Jeb Bush began ferreting out and replacing Democrats throughout Florida state government, his first purge of Democratic voters.

Jeb and his cohorts let special interests know that they expected political donations of $2 for every $1 donated to Democrats or defaulters would lose access to the governor and the legislative leadership.

On Election Day 2000, rich white Republican voters stood in short lines and used up-to-date equipment, including electronic machines that let them correct their ballots.

African-American Voters Blocked from Reaching Polling Places by Police Roadblocks

Things were different in black districts. Some voters were flagged down at roadblocks, where highway patrol officers checked their drivers’ licenses. (Click here for more details)

Others waited in long lines for an inadequate number of booths and ancient recording equipment. All too often, innocent citizens whose names appeared on the ex-felons list were informed for the first time that they could not vote when they showed up at the polling place.

Some votes were simply trashed by ballot handlers. In Duval County, 27,000 ballots were discarded, over half of them from black precincts in Jacksonville. No official challenges were filed within the 72-hour time limit, so thousands of mostly Democratic votes were lost. Sixteen-thousand votes for Gore disappeared overnight from the ongoing Volusia County tally and were reinstated only when an election supervisor questioned the subtraction of already registered votes. No voting machine company representative or election official was able to explain what happened.

Greg Palast, an award-winning American reporter based in England, broke the story of the scrub list and documented its sleazy origins in The Observer, London, November 26, 2000. Updates, as well as each edition of The Best Democracy Money Can Buy have added irrefutable, hard evidence of fraud. (Palast’s most recent estimate of all qualified Florida voters barred from casting a ballot in Election 2000 stands at 90,000.)

The story was huge in Europe, but the American press ignored it completely. Massive civil rights violations that subverted an election just didn’t resonate with the mainstream press. On January 10, 2001, lawyers acting for the NAACP sued and won their case against ChoicePoint’s DBT, Secretary of State Katherine Harris (who coincidentally was enthusiastically co-chairing the Bush campaign), and Bush loyalist Clay Roberts, Director of the Division of Elections. In July 2002, to atone for its staggering error rate of 95%, DBT agreed to remove innocent voters from the now infamous list of purported ex-felons. (In 2002, the purge list hadn’t been corrected. In 2004, another suspicious list appeared. (end quote from hermes-press.com)

 

The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights 2000 Election Investigation Recommended that the U.S. Department of Justice should “immediately initiate the litigation process against the governor” (Jeb Bush)

The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights conducted an extensive public investigation of allegations of voting irregularities during the 2000 presidential election in Florida.

“There emerges a confluence of circumstances that indicates intimidation and harassment of the Florida voters, and that was set in motion long before the November election,” said Commissioner Victoria Wilson of the US Commission on Civil Rights in their report, “Voting Irregularities in Florida During the 2000 Presidential Election.” Issued June 8, 2001, the report accuses Florida election officials of “gross dereliction” and “injustice.”

To follow is some of the text from the report at http://www.usccr.gov/pubs/vote2000/report/ch9.htm

“Voting Irregularities in Florida During the 2000 Presidential Election”

“The investigation, utilizing the Commission’s subpoena power, included three days of hearings, more than 30 hours of testimony, 100 witnesses, and a systematic review of more than 118,000 pages of pertinent documents.

Responsibility Without Accountability

Florida’s governor is the state’s chief executive officer who “shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed.” Florida’s secretary of state is the chief election officer and oversees the Division of Elections. Each county has an elected supervisor of elections, except one. Together, the secretary of state and the county supervisors of elections preside over Florida’s elections.

Governor John Ellis Bush

When asked about his responsibilities to ensure the election laws of Florida were faithfully executed during the November 2000 election, Governor Bush testified before the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights that he had no real legal authority over election matters except for certifying the election and serving as a member of the state canvassing board. He indicated that he recused himself from participating on the state canvassing board because his brother was one of the presidential candidates. Governor Bush testified that “governors have the moral authority . . . to make sure that the laws, not only the state laws, but . . . also federal laws are upheld. . . .” When asked what authority and responsibility he had regarding preparation for the 2000 presidential election, Governor Bush testified that he had none and that “the secretary of state and the 67 supervisors of elections were responsible for that, and they carried out their duties.”

Under the Florida Constitution, the governor is charged with ensuring that “the laws be faithfully executed,” a responsibility Governor Bush apparently delegated to others with respect to elections. Under Florida election law, the governor is also specifically empowered to “appoint special officers to investigate alleged violations of the election laws . . .” Governor Bush testified that he had not appointed any officers to do any investigation of alleged irregularities surrounding the November 2000 election but would “if there was a reason to do so.” As of the date of this report there is no indication that the governor has exercised this authority by appointing special officers to investigate the widespread allegations of violations of the Florida election law”.

Findings:

Despite the closeness of the election, it was widespread voter disenfranchisement, not the dead-heat contest, that was the extraordinary feature in the Florida election.

Disenfranchisement of Florida voters fell most harshly on the shoulders of African Americans. Statewide, based on county-level statistical estimates, African American voters were nearly 10 times more likely than white voters to have their ballots rejected in the November 2000 election.

 

MISSING EMAILS

According to an article posted at American Bridge

“Bush used a personal email address as governor, and there are messages missing. As the Washington Post reporters, “Bush used his personal email address, jeb@jeb.org, to conduct official, political, and personal business…” but Bush’s email disclosure website (which was already public and available at the Florida state archives) lacks many key messages, including any messages between Jeb Bush and his brother, then-President George W. Bush.

Media accounts establish that Bush, not the State of Florida, decided which private emails to disclose – apparently nothing would have stopped the Bush team from selectively leaving out politically problematic emails. As the Tampa Bay Times reported, “The Bush files, though enormous, are not complete” because they lacked “emails the governor deemed not relevant to the public record.” In other words, Bush selected what was “relevant” or not for the public record, not civil servants.

The numbers do not add up. In 2007 Bush claimed he received 2.5 million emails on his public accounts, and 550,000 emails on his private accounts (Source, Naples Daily News, 7/12/07). Bush’s “disclosure” only contains a total of 250,000 emails. (Source, New York Times, 2/9/15)

There are media reports that Bush only recently “completed” handing over emails, despite leaving office eight years ago, potentially violating the law. A Bloomberg politics reporter Michael Bender tweeted today that “FL law requires govs to turn over emails after leaving office. Jeb didn’t finish turning over emails until last year.” He further tweeted that “Bush may not have complied with FL law until considering a presidential campaign. 119.021(4)(a).” That statute requires that “Whoever has custody of any public records shall deliver [them], at the expiration of his or her term of office…”.

News reports indicate that Jeb Bush used a private, personally owned email server. Full article at https://americanbridgepac.org/jeb-bush-hypocrisy-on-email-disclosure/

 

According to an article posted at MotherJones.com

Bush’s email archive, which includes more than 250,000 messages, has produced no piercing insights or major news stories about his gubernatorial stint. There are an immense number of emails from constituents weighing in on the issues of the day. But when it comes to the major issues of his governorship, there are—curiously—very few, if any, emails between Bush and his aides.

This email archive is not easy to search. It is comprised of 248 separate files and is hardly user-friendly. This search yielded little correspondence revealing Bush’s actions and decisions regarding pivotal events. It turns out that what’s most notable about Bush’s email trove is what’s not in it“.

Florida Governor’s Office in Tallahassee Made 95 Telephone calls to the George W. Bush Presidential Campaign

When it became clear that the disputed Florida election could deliver the White House to his brother, Gov. Jeb Bush publicly stated that he recused himself from any official role in the recount, to avoid the “slightest appearance of a conflict of interest.”

Despite his stated hands-off policy, six of his staffers took unpaid leaves to volunteer on the recount.

Bush’s communications director in July 2001, Katie Baur, said, “While he recused himself from any involvement in what happened after Nov. 7, he did not recuse himself from his role as a brother.” What’s not known is that the level of direct involvement was, frankly, enormous.

The Los Angeles Times reported on July 14, 2001, “The Florida governor’s office in Tallahassee made 95 telephone calls to the George W. Bush presidential campaign, its advisers, lawyers and staffers during the 36-day recount period, records show. At least 10 calls came from an office number used primarily by Jeb Bush, including one call to a private line in George W. Bush’s gubernatorial office in Austin.

Another call from Jeb Bush’s number went to Karl Rove, his brother’s campaign strategist. One went to the Texas governor’s chief of staff, Clay Johnson. Another went to Michigan Gov. John Engler, who soon flew to Florida to monitor the ballot recount in Broward County. Additional calls were logged to cell phones assigned to Bush campaign staffers.

In an e-mail to The Times, Jeb Bush said he could not recall the purpose of the calls. “I have no clue what these calls were about,” he wrote.

Supporters of former Democratic nominee Al Gore have questioned whether Jeb Bush used his position to influence events behind the scenes after the election. It now appears he was more involved than he has publicly acknowledged.

The governor visited the state GOP headquarters in Tallahassee that functioned as the Bush campaign command center for the recount at least once, for example. He also dialed into at least one conference call with campaign operatives, aides said.

2nd Worst president in history, REPUBLICAN George W. Bush lied about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq which led to the illegal invasion and war against Iraq. That war was clearly illegal because Iraq did nothing to the United States and therefore George W. Bush had no legitimate reason to attack Iraq. The Iraq war caused the deaths of over 100,000 Iraqi citizens and over 4,000 Americans.

 

THE RIGGED ELECTION OF GEORGE W. BUSH CAUSED THE FOLLOWING EVENTS;

Per article at (http://dyn.politico.com/members/forums/thread.cfm?catid=1&subcatid=4&threadid=2895278&start=271&CurrentPage=10) and copies found elsewhere on the internet, here’s just a few of the crimes and misdeeds as a result of the installation of George W. Bush as President

• Installation of George W. Bush, a illegitimate president who was not elected by a majority of Americans
• Lying to the American People about Weapons of Mass Destruction to justify War Against Iraq
• Declaring and Engaging in a Illegal and unprovoked War against Iraq
• Deaths and Injuries: Causing the deaths of 4,475 Americans, 32,331 wounded Americans and the deaths of over 112,000 Iraqi Civilians
• Debt of 10 Trillion dollars due to tax cuts and unpaid for wars
• Appointment of Conservative Supreme Court Judges who destroyed the voting rights act of 1965
• The creation of ISIS due to the invasion of Iraq, be-headings and people being burned alive
• War Crimes: In the case of Hamdan vs Rumsfeld, it was proven that numerous war crimes have been committed by the Bush Administration in the war against Iraq, including the preemptive invasion itself. This does not include the unaccounted-for millions of dollars lost in Iraq or the unlawful management by the US State Department regarding the US Contractors operating in Iraq, Kuwait and Afghanistan. Holding and torturing prisoners being held without due process at Guantanamo Bay and the Abu Ghraib prison scandal are also serious war crimes.
• Outing of a CIA Agent: The outing of Valerie Plame-Wilson by the Bush Administration, admitted by the CIA as being a covert agent, has led directly to Dick Cheney and possibly directly to the President.
• Spying on Americans: President Bush has admitted to his program of warrentless spying against millions of Americans in violation of the Forth Amendment and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).
• Missing e-mails: Two federal statutes require presidential communications, including White House e-mails, to be preserved for the nation’s historical records. From 2001 to October 2003, the White House records system over-wrote all their e-mail files, and up to 2005, some e-mails still were not fully preserved. CREW (Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington) and the National Security Archives allege that millions of e-mails are missing from White House servers. (It is interesting that the timing of these lost e-mails is when most of the major illegal Bush activities were occurring.)
• Misuse of e-mail systems: Both the Republican National Committee e-mail system and the White House system were used within the White House to perform partisan political activities. As the White House is public property, it is against the law to do partisan political business while on public White House property.
• Unlawful FBI Activities: The ACLU has released documents showing that the Bush Administration directed the FBI to expand the definition of “domestic terrorism” to include citizens engaged in nonviolent protest and civil disobedience. This is totally unconstitutional.
• Firing of US Attorneys: This was a successful attempt by the President to use his US Attorney General and the US Justice Department for partisan political gains. VIDEO
• Response to Hurricane Katrina: This was a demonstration of gross negligence by the Bush Administration. A major, obvious betrayal of public trust.
• Scooter Libby: Bush Obstructed and Shorted-Circuited Justice when he commuted the prison sentence of “Scooter” Libby. This was another example of TWO JUSTICE SYSTEMS… one for the “Rich and Well-Connected” and another for everyone else.
• Koch Industries was indicted by the DoJ in 2000 for knowingly dumping “at least 91 metric tons of uncontrolled benzene in its liquid waste streams” at its Corpus Christi refinery, and for conspiring to cover it up in an attempt to deceive regulators.After George W. Bush took office in 2001, however, “his Attorney General John Ashcroft dropped 88 counts against Koch for the benzene spill and cover-up” in exchange for a guilty plea to falsifying documents and a $20 million fine (a settlement from $350 million in potential fines.)The Kochs made out pretty well in exchange for their $32,200 contribution to the 2000 Bush campaign.  [Source: http://www.bradblog.com/?p=8778]
• And much more…

None of these things would have happened were it not for the Jeb Bush Administration and Republicans actions which helped brother George W. Bush to be installed as president.

 

2004 ELECTION RIGGED

Harvey Wasserman and Robert J. Fitrakis, who wrote a book “What Happened in Ohio: A Documentary Record of Theft And Fraud in the 2004 Election”, explained that the combination of computer hacking, ballot destruction, and the discrepancy between exit polling (which showed a big Kerry win in Ohio) and the “real” vote tabulation, all point to one answer: the Republicans stole the 2004 election.

“A 6.7% shift in exit polls does not happen by chance. So we have irrefutable confirmation that what we were saying was true and that every piece of the puzzle in the Ohio 2004 election was flawed,” Wasserman said.

 

The Above video shows how Ohio Election Computers were hacked and how the man who oversaw the operation died mysteriously in a plane crash soon after giving a deposition.

 

2 election workers in Cleveland convicted of rigging 04 presidential recount

CLEVELAND Two election workers in the state s most populous county were convicted today of illegally rigging the 2004 presidential election recount. The …

UPDATE: Jan 24, 2007 – CLEVELAND: Per the above article;  “Two election workers in the state s most populous county were convicted today of illegally rigging the 2004 presidential election recount.

The prosecution accused the employees of secretly reviewing pre-selected ballots before the recount in order to avoid a more costly, time-consuming hand count of all votes.

Jacqueline Maiden, the elections coordinator who was the board s third-highest ranking employee when she was indicted last March, and ballot manager Kathleen Dreamer each were convicted of a felony count of negligent misconduct of an elections employee. The felony conviction carries a possible sentence of six to 18 months.

Maiden and Dreamer also were convicted of one misdemeanor count each of failure of elections employees to perform their duty.

The employees were accused of working behind closed doors three days before the public Dec. 16, 2004, recount to pick ballots they knew would not cause discrepancies when checked by hand.

Ohio gave Bush the electoral votes he needed to defeat Democratic Sen. John Kerry in the close election and hold on to the White House in 2004″.

 

 

2016 ELECTION RIGGED

2016 Election Rigged for Trump

 

Cheri Jacobus, who worked in Republican politics for decades, was an RNC spokesperson & ran campaigns, a nationally recognized political strategist, pundit and writer says “Trump is an illegitimate President”.

Cheri discusses a host of bombshell issues, including; Trump never legitimately won a Presidential election (2016 & 2024), how COVID and mail-in ballots derailed Republicans plans to rig & steal the 2020 election, why right before the 2020 election expensive high speed mail sorting machines were trashed and Putin’s involvement in helping to put Trump in the White House.

 

In 27 states, a program called the Interstate Voter Registration Crosscheck suppressed and purged enough minority voters to swing the election for Donald Trump.

The rigging was a simple process: in 27 Republican-controlled states (including critical swing states) hundreds of thousands (possibly millions) of people showed up to vote, but were mysteriously blocked from voting for allegedly being registered with the intent to vote in multiple states.

 

The above video recorded on November 26, 2017 with MSNBC Host Joy Reid interviewing Greg Palast is the only interview done about this on any Television Network.

 

Millions of Black, Hispanic & Asians Voters Have Been Purged

Greg Palast, Al Jazeera, BBC News, The Guardian/Billionaires & Ballot Bandits joins Thom Hartmann. Jim Crow-style voter suppression has returned to America. That’s the conclusion of a shocking new report from investigative journalist Greg Palast for Al Jazeera America that takes a deep dive into a controversial program known as Interstate Crosscheck. According to his investigation “election officials in 27 states, most of them Republicans, have launched a program that threatens a massive purge of voters from the rolls. Millions, especially black, Hispanic and Asian-American voters, are at risk.”

 

Per the above article: The massive election-rigging scandal the media ignored. In 27 states, a program called the Interstate Voter Registration Crosscheck suppressed and purged minority votes

The election of 2016 may well have been stolen — or to use Donald Trump’s oft-repeated phrase — “rigged,” and nobody in the media seems willing to discuss it.

The rigging was a pretty simple process, in fact: in 27 Republican-controlled states (including critical swing states) hundreds of thousands (possibly millions) of people showed up to vote, but were mysteriously blocked from voting for allegedly being registered with the intent to vote in multiple states.

Greg Palast, an award-winning investigative journalist, writes a stinging piece in Rolling Stone magazine (August 2016 edition), predicting that the presidential election had already been decided: “The GOP’s Stealth War Against Voters.” He also wrote and produced a brilliant documentary on this exact subject that was released well before the election, titled The Best Democracy Money Can Buy.

He said a program called the Interstate Voter Registration Crosscheck had been quietly put together in Kansas and was being used by Republican secretaries of state in 27 states to suppress and purge African American, Asian and Hispanic votes in what would almost certainly be the swing states of the 2016 election.

Crosscheck was started by Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach back in 2007 under the guise of combating so-called voter fraud. In the ultimate thumb in the eye to the American voter, the state where Crosscheck started was the only state to refuse to participate in a New York Times review of voter fraud in the 2016 election, which found that, basically, there wasn’t any fraud at the level of individual voters. Turns out, according to Palast, that a total of 7 million voters—including up to 344,000 in Pennsylvania, 589,000 in North Carolina and up to 449,000 in Michigan (based on available Crosscheck data from 2014)—may have been denied the right to have their votes counted under this little known but enormously potent Crosscheck program.

 

Here are examples of Crosscheck in action:
Trump victory margin in Michigan: 13,107
Michigan Crosscheck purge list: 449,922

Trump victory margin in Arizona: 85,257
Arizona Crosscheck purge list: 270,824

Trump victory margin in North Carolina: 177,008
North Carolina Crosscheck purge list: 589,393

“University of Wisconsin-Madison political scientist Kenneth Mayer found that between 12,000 and 23,000 registered voters in Madison and Milwaukee—and as many as 45,000 statewide—were deterred from voting by the ID law. “We have hard evidence there were tens of thousands of people who were unable to vote because of the voter ID law”. Link to full article below.

That’s way more than enough votes to swing the 2016 election to Hillary Clinton and the Democrats.

There’s more…

Exit polls in key states, FLORIDA , NORTH CAROLINA and WISCONSIN showed Hillary Clinton the winner.

Using exit poll totals compiled by election researcher Theodore de Macedo Soares, seen in the table below on this page as well as available at this link, compared to an ongoing tally of raw votes totals posted at this link by Dave Wasserman of Cook Political Report, here is the discrepancy that has caused the suspicions of what Trump himself would call a “rigged election.”

Note that actual vote totals are compiled as of November 16.

FLORIDA — 29 Electoral Votes

(numbers equal percentage points)

Exit Polls: Clinton 47.7, Trump 46.4 — Clinton wins by 1.3

Actual: Clinton 47.8, Trump 49.0 — Trump wins by 1.2

Trump gain between exit polls and actual results: 2.5

NORTH CAROLINA — 15 Electoral Votes

Exit Polls: Clinton 48.6, Trump 46.5 — Clinton wins by 2.1

Actual: Clinton 46.1, Trump 49.9 — Trump wins by 3.8

Trump gain: 5.9

WISCONSIN — 10 Electoral Votes

Exit Polls: Clinton 48.2, Trump 44.3 — Clinton wins by 3.9

OTHER SOURCES CLAIM THE 2016 ELECTION WAS RIGGED

The League of Women Voters claim “The 2016 Presidential Election Was Rigged” in their article at lwv.org/press-releases/2016-presidential-election-was-rigged by Voter Suppression.

Chris Carson, president of the League of Women Voters stated “In Wisconsin, President-elect Trump beat Secretary Clinton by roughly 27,000 votes, however according to federal court, 300,000 registered voters lacked the proper photo ID.

Details regarding 300,000 registered voters lacked photo ID at thenation.com/article/the-gops-attack-on-voting-rights-was-the-most-under-covered-story-of-2016/

“We are not talking about vigilante voter intimidation,” said Carson. “We are talking about official, legal voter suppression by state legislatures and election officials.”

Like the 2000 & 2004 Elections, this matter is not being reported by the mainstream media.

 

Mapping Donald Trump’s Many Ties To Vladimir Putin’s Russia

 

The US intelligence community found that Russia tried to influence the outcome of the 2016 US election by boosting Donald Trump and harming Hillary Clinton, according to the declassified intelligence report released by the Director of National Intelligence.

Click the link below to read and download a copy of the report;

https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/3254237/Russia-Hack-Report.pdf

 

Trump was complicit in encourging Russia to engage in Espionage when he said; Russia: “If you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing. I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press”. It’s clear Russia was listening because within hours, Wikileaks released 8,000 DNC emails. The DNC was hacked by two groups that linked to senior levels of the Russian government.

FLORIDA REPUBLICANS USE DIRTY TRICKS TO ‘WIN’ ELECTIONS

CNN reports how Republicans used “dirty tricks” to Rig Three (3) 2020 Florida State Senate Elections with Dark Money and 3rd Party Phantom Candidates.

(Per the article below from CNN) “A month before Election Day in Florida a mysterious company called Proclivity, Inc. contributed $550,000 to a pair of newly formed political action committees in the state. Two days later, the money flowed from the PACs to an Orlando-area print and advertising firm.

Shortly thereafter, came a torrent of nearly identical political fliers seemingly intended to siphon away support from Democratic candidates by tricking voters into casting their ballots for purported spoiler candidates who demonstrated no real interest in getting elected. None, for example, engaged in typical campaigning activities or raised significant funds.
In one case, the mailers appear to have helped a Republican—a co-founder of Latinas For Trump—unseat the Democratic incumbent in a state Senate race by a razor-thin margin of just 32 votes”.

Former FL GOP chair says ‘right-wing crazies’ want to suppress black vote

Former Florida Republican Party Chair Jim Greer testified in a lawsuit filed against his former party that “whack-a-do, right-wing crazies” wanted to suppress the black vote through Voter ID and tactics like current state Gov. Rick Scott’s efforts to purge voter rolls.

Jim Greer, stated “I sat in on many meetings where it was discussed how to make sure what happened in 2008, when Obama brought out the college-aged voters, the minority voters, never happened again”.

 

91-Year-Old Decorated WWII Veteran Targeted By Florida Governor Rick Scott’s Voter Purge

Florida Republicans took voter suppression to brazen extremes. After the 2010 election, Republican Gov. Rick Scott instructed Secretary of State Ken Browning to compile a massive database of alleged “non-citizen” voters. This resulted in a 91-year-old World War II veteran who won a Bronze star being told by the state of Florida to prove he is a citizen or be removed from voter roll.

 

 

DISENFRANCHISEMENT OF VOTERS

Republicans continue to pass laws which make it difficult for Minorities, Young People, the Elderly and Women to Vote. A Judge who has been voting for 49 years couldn’t vote in her own courthouse where everyone knew her because of repressive Republican Voter ID Laws in Texas.

 

ELECTIONS RIGGED BY THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE/span>

The Electoral College Is A Plague On America

The Electoral College allowed two unpopular Republican candidates who received the least votes in 2 elections since 2000 to become President; George W. Bush who lost by almost 600,000 votes in the 2000 election and Donald Trump who lost by 2.84 million in 2016.

 

If we had a REAL democracy, the person who gets the most votes would be the winner. In every other country which has a democracy on this planet, the person who receives the most votes is the winner. The fact that we don’t elect our president by the most votes proves there is NO REAL DEMOCRACY IN THE UNITED STATES.

And the fault is 100% REPUBLICANS… because they REFUSE to eliminate the Electoral College because it put George W. Bush in 2000 and Donald Trump in 2016 in the White House against the will of the majority.

 

2000 and 2016  Elections Stolen By The Electoral Collage

The Electoral College has allowed two unpopular Republican candidates who received less popular votes in 2 elections since 2000 to become President; George W. Bush who lost by almost 600,000 votes in the 2000 election and Donald Trump who lost by 2.9 million votes. Neither of these incompetent Republicans should have been president.

“Get Him Out Of There Before He Kills Us All”: Sachs Trump Warning

Jeffrey Sachs delivers a blistering assessment of Donald Trump, arguing that the president’s leadership and use of power raise serious concerns about the state of American politics.

Sachs describes Trump in deeply critical terms and argues that the larger problem goes beyond one individual. He says Trump is also a symptom of what he calls a deeply corrupted political system, pointing to presidential war powers, Congress, checks and balances, and America’s long-running foreign policy.

Sachs also sharply criticizes media coverage of Trump, questioning what he sees as the normalization of increasingly extreme rhetoric and decisions. He challenges journalists and political leaders to ask harder questions about presidential power, accountability and the consequences of America’s foreign policy.

The wide-ranging discussion touches on Trump’s rhetoric, Iran, presidential authority, Congress, the security state, media coverage and the broader political system in Washington.

Thom Hartmann details how the Trump regime is flagrantly violating numerous Articles of the Constitution

 

 

U.S. Senator Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) on Thursday spoke on the U.S. Senate floor to expose the unprecedented corruption of the Trump administration’s first six weeks in office. Murphy condemned Trump’s normalization of pay-to-play politics, where billionaire donors dictate policy and taxpayer money is funneled into the pockets of the president, Elon Musk, and the corporate elite.

“In the first six weeks of the Trump presidency, Trump and Elon Musk and their billionaire friends have engaged in a stunning rampage of open public corruption,” Murphy said. “It’s not fundamentally different than what happened in Russia. These are efforts to steal from the American people to enrich themselves. And their strategy is to do it all out in the open, to do it at such a dizzying pace that the country just gets overwhelmed or anesthetized or dulled into a sense that we just all have to accept the corruption – or, maybe more charitably, that this is just how government works, that government is just corrupt, and so the fact that it’s happening out in the open instead of happening secretly, well, it’s really nothing new.”

Murphy laid out more than 20 examples of blatant corruption from just the first six weeks of the Trump presidency, including:

• The launch of Trump’s meme coin, enabling anyone seeking to influence the administration to privately funnel money directly to the president.
• The gutting and manipulation of watchdog agencies like the NLRB, CFPB, and OSHA to benefit Elon Musk, the billionaires in Trump’s cabinet, and other elites.
• The Eric Adams quid pro quo and the weaponization of the DOJ to reinforce a system of political retribution and favoritism.
• The use of government contracts and stock deals to reward Trump’s allies, enriching them through taxpayer-funded opportunities and further consolidating political power.

“This is how democracies die,” Murphy continued. “Democracies die when the very powerful people steal from us so regularly, so openly, so unapologetically, that we come to believe that it’s normal. And listen, I understand that many Americans may think that all of this stuff just used to happen quietly, and the only difference is that Trump and Musk are just putting it all out in the open. And I’m not saying that there haven’t been instances of corruption. Democrats and Republicans in this body have been accused of, and convicted of, acts of corruption. It has been a fact of life in American politics for a long time. But never before has the corruption happened this openly or this frequently. And so I lay it all out for you this afternoon in the hopes that it is not too late for us to decide to stand up, as a body and as a nation, to say that this isn’t okay.”

The Corrupt, Partisan, GOP Dominated illegitimate Supreme Court (which obtained it’s majority by rigged elections & stolen seats) ruled that Trump can Fire ANY independent Federal Official for no reason

The woman at the center of the case is Former FTC Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter. Slaughter says she wasn’t surprised by the ruling just “profoundly disappointed” adding “what the president has done and what the Supreme Court has empowered is send a message to every commissioner, majority or minority, that if you don’t say how high when he says jump, you’re out.”

CNN Correspondents are choosing to leave the network due to the threat of Take-Over by Billionaire Pro-Trump, 2020 Election denier Fascist Larry Ellison & his son David Ellison

In this video, we trace how some of the most celebrated names in Western finance — J.P. Morgan, Standard Oil, Chase National Bank, the Bank for International Settlements, and others — bankrolled the economic engine that made Hitler’s war machine possible. How they kept the money flowing even after American soldiers were dying on European battlefields. And how almost every single one of them walked away not only free, but richer than ever before.

In the spring of 1943, an American banker traveled freely through Nazi Germany, held meetings with Reichsbank officials in Berlin, and boarded a German military escort vessel back to Switzerland. U-boats had standing orders not to touch his ship. His name was Thomas McKittrick, and he was the president of the most powerful international bank in the world.
This is not a conspiracy theory. Every name, every institution, and every financial transfer in this video is documented in declassified Treasury Department memos, Congressional committee testimony, and the transcripts of the Nuremberg proceedings themselves.

From the Dawes Plan loans of the 1920s to the secret gold laundering operations in Basel, from Standard Oil sharing aviation fuel technology with the Luftwaffe to Chase Bank freezing Jewish accounts in occupied Paris — this is the full story that most history textbooks leave out.
Sources include declassified FBI and Treasury records, Nuremberg trial transcripts, Congressional investigations (Truman, Bone, Kilgore Committees), and the work of historians Charles Higham, Antony Sutton, and Adam LeBor.

Videos show how billionaire oligarch Peter Thiel became the Gravedigger, Destroyer and Enemy of Democracy

Peter Thiel is often labeled as just another Silicon Valley success story – a venture capital titan who turned a small investment in Facebook into a multi-billion dollar empire. But look closer, and a different story emerges. While the world watched his wealth grow, Thiel was quietly engineering a network of techno-authoritarianism designed to dismantle the very foundations of Western democracy.

Lets pulls back the curtain on the man who famously wrote that freedom and democracy are no longer compatible. This is not just a story about technology and money; it is a deep dive into power, influence, and the social commentary of a man who isn’t just betting on the future- he’s buying it.

From the surveillance infrastructure of Palantir to the calculated politics of the “PayPal Mafia,” Thiel’s fingerprints are all over American politics. Through the installation of protégés like J.D. Vance and the strategic use of lawfare against the media, he is crafting a world where elites operate beyond the reach of the public. This video explores the intersection of libertarianism, globalism, and the rise of a new class of tech billionaires who believe the “old systems” are ready to be torn down.

In an era of rapid change and current events that feel stranger than fiction, understanding Peter Thiel’s political commentary and his vision for a post-democratic world is essential. Is he a visionary saving humanity, or the architect of a new authoritarianism?

Peter Thiel: Anti-Democracy Billionaire Heretic

“I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible.” –Peter Thiel

a new batch of billionaire converts to the Roman Catholic Church that are also trying to take over our country. And who hate the moderation of Pope Leo and hated Pope Francis even worse because of their moderate positions, which to these far right wing billionaire oligarchs are anathema. They want to live in a society in which they are not controlled. They can profit from what they’re doing. And I’m going to be honest, most of them are on a psychological spectrum that makes them unfit to be leaders anywhere.

They’re very clever in some little narrow tech field. But other than that, they’re absolutely monstrous people. Intelligent in one area and really dumb about everything else. Very greedy and very twisted. And very much like Donald Trump, with no limits to what they do or say or the lies they tell.

The Times of London, a very venerable newspaper, on March 16, 2026, has an article that brought up this whole idea of the Spanish Inquisition. The headline is “Peter Thiel labeled a heretic by Vatican aide over “Antichrist talks.”” The Palantir tycoon is giving a series of lectures in Rome and is undermining liberal society, according to a Franciscan friar who advises the Vatican.
Peter Thiel has been labeled a heretic after opening a series of lectures in Rome on the Antichrist, which is a pretty bizarre thing for him to claim any expertise in as a convert to the Roman Catholic Church and a tech billionaire. Thiel, co-founder of Palantir and PayPal, began a four-part invitation-only discussion, mostly to far-right European followers.
Paolo Benanti, a Franciscan friar who advised Pope Francis on artificial intelligence, accused him of undermining “the foundations of liberal society.” He said Thiel’s entire body of work can be interpreted as a sustained act of heresy against the liberal consensus, a challenge to the very foundations of civil coexistence.

Critics accuse Palantir, which provides data analytics to government, of enabling mass surveillance and state overreach. Benanti said that pursuing a project that leads to the dissolution of democratic structures through powerful technology is detrimental to democracy.

I was in Rome this week at the same time Thiel was. I was wandering around in the Jewish ghetto, looking at the plaques in the cobblestones documenting the deportation and killing of thousands of Jews from Italy.

So the fact that a right wing theocrat who doesn’t believe in democracy any longer is lecturing in Rome has an odd flavor, given the history of fascism in Italy and the Holocaust.

Thiel was a key advisor to Trump and is close to JD Vance, also a Catholic convert, also someone criticized by Pope Leo for what he says about the poor and “the least of these.” Vance has even suggested redefining Christian charity so it applies mainly to families and not strangers, which contradicts both the New and Old Testament.

During a previous series in San Francisco, Thiel said he was worried about the Antichrist and about death, which is why he funds research into longevity, including blood transfusions from young people and other extreme ideas. This whole tech mogul longevity movement wants to upload brains to computers, live forever, and engineer a perfect race. These guys are not well mentally.

The projects he supports make ordinary people’s lives harder, yet he is afraid of death. If the teachings of the Church are true, that is a serious contradiction.
The operating principle is simple. Rules are for other people. Power and profit are the point.
Thiel, Musk, Trump, Epstein. That is their world.

The paper trail is not confusing. We know who Peter Thiel is. Therefore we know who JD Vance is. Therefore we know who Elon Musk is. Therefore we know who Donald Trump is. They are counting on you not bothering to dig up the facts. But I remember those Nazi flags flying in Swakopmund in the mid-1980s.

 

Master Plan That Peter Thiel Doesn’t Want You To See

A online petition is demanding that Melania Trump, her parents, and even 18-year-old Barron Trump be included in the first wave of deportations under President Trump’s reported crackdown on naturalised citizens and birthright citizenship. The petition, which has amassed nearly 3,000 signatures in just days, argues that if Trump’s executive order to reinterpret the 14th Amendment is enforced, “there should be no exceptions”, not even in the White House. Critics, including Congresswoman Maxine Waters, have called out what they see as hypocrisy, pointing to Melania Trump’s “Einstein visa” and her family’s immigration history. Trump loyalists have dismissed the petition as a political stunt, but supporters argue it highlights the far-reaching impact of the president’s immigration agenda.
