The Oldest Scam in Democracy (context for vote fraud)

[JackRiddler]

(This is a re-working of a response on some other post, but worthy of starting its own.)

----------

The black-op fascists already took power, in the form of the old old CIA/neocon mob around Bush. They openly stole the last election after losing it, and reaped nothing but rewards for it - trillions!

They have lied about everything, habitually, stolen everything they can, compulsively, and gotten away with all of it, triumphally.

They have sunk this country into a world war in a time of economic meltdown and resource depletion, most likely after having engineered the bloody pretext (that's 9/11 to you).

They're getting ready to do mental health screening on everyone - this is the "New America Initiative" sponsored by Bush, look it up or just go here:

They're preparing to strike uke Iran, Syria and probably North Korea, all of which spells n-u-c-l-e-a-r.

On the other hand, they know their exposure is huge and an ultimate reckoning against them possible, given how bad things are about to get. And I'm not talking about them losing an election somewhere down the line, but something closer to the guillotine. This is not like 1992, when the Bush mob knew they had nothing to fear from regime rotation. They need to hold on to power for immunity from prosecution.

Meanwhile, their foot soldiers think they are the Party of God, and many of these yahoos believe everyone who's not pro-Bush is a lethal traitor in a time of war. Plenty of them are tanked up on Christian Dominionism and revulsion at gays, and the Sec'y State of Ohio is coming out of that belief system (fundamentalist, Heritage Foundation connections, led the charge on the gay marriage ban proposition in the state).

Did I mention that the entire country was always a banana republic with big mafias in charge of every industry, and little mafias in charge of pretty much every county? War and Real Estate, baby.

In that context, you think vote fraud isn't child's play? What is mere vote fraud, compared to "losing" 2.1 trillion dollars, or engineering a 9/11, or peppering a continent with depleted uranium, or planning the next generation of micro-nukes for safe use everywhere?

You're the Bush mob, and you're already lying about Saddam backing 9/11 and you're the moral choice and blah blah... and you're not going to do your damndest to steal it again?

All you need is to be sufficiently in control - and you can rely on

-all the wishful-thinking nice people to remain in denial as always about the reality of America;

-the media to sweeten it all up as "irregularities" among well-meaning bumblers;

-the "Opposition" to do its usual, supine routine (which actually requires only one asshole at the top to pretend it's all for the nation's best if the votes aren't counted after all).

And the suspicion of vote fraud, the Oldest Scam in Democracy in this oldest of democratic nations, is now receiving the usual exoticizing characterization of "conspiracy theory," as though there's anything complex or unusual about it.

You want to call Tammany Hall or the Daly family a "conspiracy theory"? Machine fraud is just the latest, greatest variation on the ancient theme.

1. Yeah, but

what does the mass media have to gain from endorsing it?

None of this would be possible if, say, the New York Times were doing its job. So what do they get out of the deal? Especially since they live in the city that bore the brunt of the last terrorist attack, and will probably suffer as much in the next one?
