Oct 23-Third Party Debate News Update

admin @ October 23, 2008 # One Comment

As reported by Free And Equal, the Nader Campaign, And the Constitution Party

other relevent sites to visit are www.breakthematrix.com and www.thirdpartydebate.com

As reported, ALL candidates have been invited, and one must ask about the absence of the “main candidates” in a system that a) considers itself a ‘democracy’, b) has the mainstream media not report this event whatsover, and c) fails to report on the reason that voter turnout, in the most basic understanding of math, ignores the essential majority that has no faith in the system at all to even bother registering a ballot. It’s not rocket science –in fact, it’s a cry from the people for something else. And a suspicious thing when 2 parties control access to information…

OpEd: Stolen Votes and Stolen Elections

admin @ October 20, 2008 # 16 Comments

I’ve been accused of dissing the election porn industry, the people like Greg Palast, Mark Crispin Miller, Bev Harris, and others who investigate, analyze, document, and publicize stolen elections while encouraging people to vote. Most of them claim that by carefully monitoring an election, it is possible to deter or prevent vote theft. Even if that were the case, which it is not, since no matter how closely you observe an election, you cannot prove that a vote was stolen until after it has been stolen, it would not prevent election theft.

Editorial/Action: Another Way To (Not) Approach ‘08

admin @ August 9, 2008 # No Comment Yet

A large planned protest gives Homeland Security and local law enforcement a chance to test out all their crowd control gear. They really need a way to justify all the money that has been spent on crowd control when there were no unruly crowds to control. Protesting the convention is like a battered wife saying, “I’m going to confront him and tell him not to hit me any more. I have rights,” instead of going to a shelter and getting away from the batterer. It’s asking for more brutality.

They want a repeat of old convention protests with much brutality and a lot of press coverage, and they’ll get it. And spend the next few years in court trying to get compensation for injuries and false arrest for the ones who aren’t killed. So sad. Such brave young people with such creative minds and they aren’t open to doing things differently. They have all the right ideas about democracy, but they are still thinking in terms of violent revolution.

Call to Action: General Strike Called for 9/11/08

admin @ July 26, 2008 # No Comment Yet

More and more people are calling for a General Strike, for a way to withdraw our support from a system which seems heedless to the will of the people. Our governmental representatives treat
us as if “We the Rabble” are to be ignored. One group, vote strike, is doing incredible and
substantive work in calling for a General Strike on 9/11/08, with smaller strikes and economic boycotts between now and then.

I urge you to consider this call to a General Strike, the use of non-violent resistance. It is a time-honored technique, possible beginning with “Lysistrata,” and effectively used several times in the
past one hundred years.

Perhaps the only effective action left to take now in order to stop the gears and levers of this lemming-like perpetual motion machine of destruction is—to do nothing. That’s right, nothing.
To go on strike.
