To The American Media: Time To Face The Reality Of Election Rigging

[upstatecajun]

Jonathan Simon

To Every Journalist and Media Reformer:
How does the Big Lie flourish and prosper? By being criminal beyond belief. By operating in safety behind a towering "never happen here" wall of denial. By a foolish assumption of immunity. By being too big a story to be a story within the bounds of journalistic decorum.

The gruesome truth is that American elections can be rigged and are being rigged because the American media treats election rigging as something that--all evidence notwithstanding--could never happen here. Period, end of story, move on.

And we are moving on. To an unrecognizable America. An America in which, when even obscene amounts of cash can't buy enough votes, those votes can be manufactured (added, switched, deleted wholesale) in the darkness of cyberspace. It's too easy. And it's happening. A Big Lie is consuming America.

We ask each of you in turn--reporter, editor, commentator, reformer--are you willing to sit back and let this happen on your watch? Can you take 15 minutes to stand before this picture, taking it in, and then ask yourself, if we have been persuasive, what you are going to do?

1. Amen!! We are "supposed" to be the greatest democracy in the world...

however, we can't accurately count votes or prove that they are counted accurately.

If our media did their jobs, this would be a major story. Instead, if you mention "election fraud" to someone, you are the lunatic.

This makes me very sad.

2. The ballot box is broken and so is the MSM

But the MSM was bought decades ago. The Fairness doctrine was abandoned and the 'american media' knows who they work for.

Fascism is capitalism in decay.

3. They are complicit

Seriously. It's not an honest oversight. It's not "Oh, we weren't aware of that, sorry, we'll get right on it."

They are complicit. They are the propaganda arm of the state. Don't waste time asking them to do something they're never going to do.

4. Officials in this country Want elections that can be fixed and rigged.

They are confident that they will be the winners of such elections.

They are being paid to support technology that allows the fixing of elections.

They truly seem to believe that reasonable adults from somewhere inside the political elite will be controlling the alteration of votes, so that the only real change is that the unwashed masses (us) lose some of our voice, and the worthy elite have more of a say in elections. They don't see any problem with that.

They don't really seem to value the opinions, and therefore the votes, of all Americans. They really don't appear to mind if most Americans are removed from the political process!

Any attempt to remove the computers that rig elections will have to come from below. It will have to be a mass-movement that comes from all of us, and grows and gains power to restore democracy even without any respect or positive attention from the mainstream media, and despite the silence from elected officials.

5. The unscrupulous and dishonest rig elections which insures that they win.

That's why we have the Congress that we do.
