I have become quite convinced that many who believe Bush won simply want to believe it because it is easier to deal with that way. To face the alternative is far too scary for most, because that is beyond the realm of control. Of course there are those who truly believe there was no fraud, but what worried me is the unwillingness to look at the obvious possibilites and probabilities.

Many still want to hold out hope that we have a legitimate system in place.

It will be this country's undoing in the end, but there is absolutely nothing any of us can do about it, because not enough people are willing to explore the obvious.

It is laughable, and I do not say that in a derogatory manner, for people to hide behind the facade of the comfort of a statement like, "But we have no concrete Proof.

Um, THAT'S THE POINT OF THE WHOLE SYSTEM KIDS.

There.

Is.

NO.

PAPER.

TRAIL.

There can be no audit. With the way they have it set up, there is no way to prove who voted how, and no way to prove that the code of the software was hacked or could be tampered with.

You'd have to see the code in order to do that.

But Oh, THAT'S RIGHT. YOU CAN'T.

But Why?

Let's go over it one more time.

There are FOUR PRIVATE CORPORATIONS that control the Electronic Voting Infrastructure in this country. All are heavily tied to GOP Interests, and have connections with the Christian Re constructionist Movement. By 2008 there will be enough Electronic Voting Infrastructure in place to guarantee there will never be a Free Election in this country again. There can't be one NOW.

Think I'm Full Of It? Sure, some of you do.

I'm willing to bet you'd take Mike Malloy seriously, though. How about Greg Palast?

Go to www.whiterosesociety.org and find the Nov. 3rd show right after the Election, and the show he had about a week before the Election with Greg Palast. A lot of this is explored in great detail.

The fact that Bush did not win is a moot point. What people should be focused on is that things are set up now so that the Electoral Process has been completely removed from the hands of the people.

There will never be another Free Election in this country again.....

Unless.....

You get rid of the current Infrastructure that controls Electronic Voting.

It's that simple.

No Paper Trail.

No Proof.

No Audit.

No Democracy.

And for those who control it.

No Problem.

And while those who simply cannot consider any of this say "No Way", we who have hope for change are increasingly going to find we have.....

No Way Out.

But for many, they stop to think about it, they start to consider the implications, what they can do with the technology, and what has most probably been done, and then they are faced with one simple Question.

"What Do We Do?"

And that's where for many, it's much easier to cry "conspiracy theory" and return to a way of thinking that is more comforting, and gives the illusion we still have a legitimate Electoral System.

So we go back to organizing, planning, strategizing, formulating the plans that we just KNOW will finally rid us of these criminals who have stolen this country.

Not realizing that all of our actions only apply and have relevance in a country where your vote actually is counted freely and untampered with.

Not wanting to face the strongest possibility that we have truly lost control of any say in how this country is run, and the choice of who runs it.

We ignore all if this at our peril.

And we are in Great Peril indeed.

But it's all just conspiracy nonsense......

Bush actually won. Fair And Square.

Didn't he?.....
