    CBS report on Ukraine gets a C+

Former president Jimmy Carter. While a member of the establishment, he rows upstream, listens to his conscience, and blows huge holes in the status quo apologists’ lies. From the imperialists’ viewpoint, “he’s dysfunctional.”—Eds

“Well, he might have,” said Mark Crispin Miller on his blog site. He doesn’t know. Nor do other voters. Corporate owned, programmed and manipulated electronic voting machines control things.  The Carter Center monitors elections globally. It refuses to do so in America because free, fair and open standards don’t exist.

Jimmy Carter calls Venezuela’s electoral process “the best in the world.” He said America’s is “one of the worst.” He cited money power controlling them. Others call US elections shams. They lack legitimacy. Nothing about them reflects democracy. Duopoly power controls things. People have no say. Half the electorate usually opts out for good reason. Continue reading »

Monitoring a Broken System

by DAVE LINDORFF
Tuesday’s national election in the US is shaping up to be a bruising affair, with both parties hiring armies of lawyers to fight over likely contentious battles over voter access to polling stations, dealing with long lines that could prevent people from voting after polls officially close, the counting of votes cast, and now, the right of international inspectors from the respected Organization of Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) to monitor the process.

How Obama Made an Easy Race Too Close


Obama in 2008, acting very proper during the campaign. Many people had begun to believe in his promise.

Nader forgets, however, that if the Republicans can today make a credible bid for the presidency it is in the first place because Obama and his team literally resuscitated them in 2008, instead of dealing this vulture party a lethal blow when it lay sprawling on the canvas—as the majority of the nation demanded. —Eds

by RALPH NADER
One day before Election Day 2012 and the incredible has come true. Obama is neck and neck with Romney when, even with his disappointing record, Obama should be landsliding Romney and his Party of Big Business.

For all his billions plus campaign dollars, President Obama has missed out on repeatedly emphasizing the most obvious flaws of the Romney/Ryan campaign for a complete takedown. Continue reading »

Editor’s Note: The nature of Larry Chin’s concern, that it is extremely probable if not certain that the 2012 election will be stolen, underscores the fact that “elections” in the US cannot be trusted at all, that they are subject to manipulation from beginning to finish (vetting the choices the public has) and that even when such systemic distortions do not enter the picture during the tediously long campaigns…the vote counts themselves can be easily falsified.  Continue reading »
