with Americans' DISENFRANCHISEMENT!

58% of Americans opposed the Iraq war BEFORE the invasion. Feb. '03. I'll never forget that stat.

63% of Americans oppose torture UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. May '04.

You name the issue. Social Security. Iraq. Torture. The deficit. The vast majority of Americans oppose every major Bush policy, foreign and domestic, way up in the 60% to 70% range.

And that's not even to mention Bush's dismal approval ratings over the last year--so low Zogby said he could not be elected. An incredibly low, unprecedented 49% on the very day of his inauguration. 42% to 44% today.

When are people going to GET THIS? HOW MUCH disapproval of Bush and everything he stands for do we have to see before people get it through their heads that the Bush Cartel WAS NOT RE-ELECTED, and DOES NOT HAVE "CONSENT OF THE GOVERNED"?

The will of the majority--which is progressive, tolerant and peaceful--is being ignored.

The Roberts thing (approval of Roberts; approval of Roe vs. Wade) is explainable by dis- and mis-information. As with the Iraq lies and many other issues, it takes time for real information to get around, against an onslaught of wrong, distorted information and non-information (the "black-holing" of stories) in the corporate news monopoly press. It is a credit to Americans, and a tribute to the peacefulness of the majority, that 58% of Americans disapproved of the Iraq war BEFORE the WMD lies were exposed. It took about a year for full realization that it was 100% lies, with zero help from the news monopolies.

And once Americans grasp the truth of something, they simply stop believing the news monopoly lies and spin. Americans are subjected to relentless, universal (all corporate media), coordinated, skillfully designed, 24/7 propaganda and brainwashing. And the bigger the lie, the more relentless it is. The two biggest ones: Iraq was a threat to the U.S. And Americans voted for mass murderers, massive thievery and baldfaced liars to continue running their country.

Yet, despite this barrage of propaganda, Americans manage eventually to figure out the truth.

The biggest journalistic crime ever committed--besides the lies about Iraq--occurred on election night 2004, when the TV networks, acting as one, FALSIFIED the exit poll data on everybody's TV screens--"adjusting" the exit polls (Kerry won) to fit the official result (Bush won) that was being fed to them from two Bushite electronic voting companies, Diebold and ES&S, who were using "TRADE SECRET," PROPRIETARY programming code to tabulate the votes. This falsification of the exit poll data deprived the American people of major evidence of election fraud, and squelched protests and calls for investigation.

The Democrats--many of whom are involved in the bipartisan corruption in the electronic voting machine industry (elections having now become a huge private business, involving billions of dollars)--said nothing. And it was convenient to say nothing--since many Democratic leaders also support and are involved in the huge profits to be made from war. Some call it "the War Party"--the Republican-Democratic collusion on war profiteering, and there is, unfortunately too much truth in this. They also collude on Global Corporate Rule--the selling of U.S. national sovereignty to global predators.

The Democrats' concession on election night may have involved threats, fear and misinformation (not collusion). Personally, I am not yet ready to judge that (particularly re: Kerry and Edwards). The Bush Cartel is a ruthless, murderous, traitorous cabal. And most of us have no idea what it must be like to go up against them directly.

But there is no excuse whatsoever for the Democratic leaders' failure to cry foul on the election SYSTEM long before the election. That system is inherently non-transparent and fraudulent. At the least, voters should have been warned. That was a catastrophic failure of leadership.

We are talking MAJOR DISENFRANCHISEMENT of the majority, and wholly illegitimate government. And I am sick and tired of people calling Americans stupid, lazy or uncaring. It is not true! We are the victims of a criminal, fascist conspiracy. Our will is NOT being done. You can't tell me that the elderly people and poor working parents who stood out in the rain in ten hour lines to vote are LAZY. You can't tell me that the thousands of election volunteers who gave the Democrats a blow-out success in new voter registration in 2004, nearly 60/40, are UNCARING. You can't tell me that people who opposed the Iraq war in such big numbers in February 2003 are STUPID!

I don't buy it. Something ELSE is going on. And the truth is virtually screaming at us, in opinion poll after opinion poll. AMERICANS DO NOT SUPPORT BUSH. AND MOST OF US DID NOT VOTE FOR THIS TREASONOUS, CRIMINAL CABAL.

This, too, will eventually be common knowledge, and it has a remedy. Control over election systems still resides at the state/local level, where ordinary people still have some influence. Americans are intelligent, caring and extraordinarily energetic when presented with a practical problem to solve. We WILL fix this problem. We WILL get our country back. And when we do, the Bush Cartel's appointments to the courts will be voided, as the acts of traitors!
