Electoral Weapons of Mass Destruction
10.26.04 (6:30 pm)   [edit]

Is E-Voting Secure? broadcast schedule: Oct. 27, at 8 p.m. ET/PT

Nearly one third of voters (as many as 45 million people) are expected
to cast their ballots electronically in next week's presidential
election.

60 Minutes Wednesday correspondent Scott Pelley reports there is a
concern that the new paperless voting systems could be vulnerable to
software bugs. One expert also tells Pelley that if the software is not
properly protected from tampering, it could make e-voting an "electoral
weapon of mass destruction." Pelley's report will be broadcast on 60
Minutes Wednesday, Oct. 27, at 8 p.m. ET/PT.

Why Kerry/Edwards - crystal clear
10.11.04 (6:44 pm)   [edit]
wanted to tell you about my thoughts on Kerry/Edwards.
 

I started out really loving Kucinich - he truly represents my views.

I worried thought that he lacked the charisma and general appeal to the regular public.

Plus, he is so right on the issues, I am sure that extremely powerful groups would not allow him

to be President.

 

I switched my support to Dean, because he is so earnest, intelligent and gutsy.

 

It made me sick when the media sabotaged him. Not long after he said he would break up

the media monopolies, the Dean Scream thing happened. Fact is, the microphone he

was given was not intended for the type of quarters he was in. It distorted his voice.

 

So then we end up with Kerry/Edwards. I actually like Edwards better.

 

But now I see the logic - why Kerry/Edwards.

(Kerry's membership in the Skull and Bones bothered me).

I felt like Kerry was too much of a Washington insider.

He voted to give Bush the power to start a war if he wanted, while those of us who access the network knew the war was BULL-$H!T.

Kerry had to know, surely he was smarter than to be misled by idot boy.

This is why I disliked Kerry.

 

I changed my mind following the debates, and after reading Orwell 1984,

Animal Farm, and now reading Thomas Jefferson's letters. If you havent read these in a while, please pick up one of them at the library.

 

It became crystal clear to me that Shrubya's opponents HAD to be

lawyers - he had to be confronted and tried in public, and the debates were/are the trial.

 

This is the first time in these 4 years that Shruby had to face a prosecuting attorney (former) who confronted him on his maschinations of his pResidency. Even though Bush has been arrested 3 times, the debates had to me much more painful. Only a psycho path could come away from a beating like that and not feel it!

 

How sweet, ironic and perfect to have the best trial lawyer (perhaps) and champion for the underdog to put Cheney on Trial. Edwards was awesome in every way during the debates.

 

I loved watching it. My only surprise is that Cheney didn't go into arrest at the time.

 

We have a former district attorney and prosecutor and war hero fighting against Shrubya -

We have a champion for the underdog and extremely fierce (with velvet touch) lawyer putting

Cheney on trial.

 

There could not be a better combo, could there?

 

If you remember, Cheney was about to be subpoenad by the GAO RIGHT before 911, over the "secret" energy commission meetings (think Enron).

 

The biggest crooks in the world are seldom if ever brought to justice, but

the debates have been the nearest thing to sweet justice that I have ever seen.

The thugs looked just like thugs. The debates shined a light on the corruption and crassness of this current administration.

 

Only Kerry/Edwards could have done this. A powerful team.

 

 
 
Oct 8-The Abu Ghraib Supplementary Documents
10.08.04 (8:43 pm)   [edit]

Just in time for the debates, more documents on Abu Ghraib at The Center for Public Integrity and Justice.


Riots, prisoners killed, prisoners sleeping on card-board.


Lack of water in 100+degree temps. Torture rape and murder.


By the way, this happened last year, long before the beheadings that have been given much publicity.


Here is the report:

 
RFID Tracking Tags in your Abercrombies
10.08.04 (6:56 pm)   [edit]

Another reason not to buy their clothing - besides the expensive price and the huge profit made at the expense of poorly paid laborers:


Abercrombie & Fitch



A $600 million company called Checkpoint has developed prototype labels
containing RFID spychips for Abercrombie & Fitch, Calvin Klein, and
Champion sportswear. These tags contain tiny computer chips with unique
ID numbers that can be read remotely by anyone with the right
equipment.

CNET picked up the story on Friday, September 24th. You can read it at:
http://networks.silicon.com/lans/0" title="http://networks.silicon.com/lans/0" target="_blank"http://networks.silicon.com/l...,39024663,39124341,00.htm

Photos of the spychipped clothing labels can be seen on our website at:
http://www.spychips.com/press-releases/checkp oint-photos.html" title="http://www.spychips.com/press-releases/checkp oint-photos.html" target="_blank"http://www.spychips.com/press...

Potentially, people wearing the tagged clothing items could be
identified and tracked as they pass through Checkpoint-equipped
doorways and store portals, as they stand near Checkpoint's retail "smart
shelves" containing hidden RFID reader devices, or when they enter
Checkpoint's planned RFID "smart zones" in stores.


I can see anti theft devices, but this goes too far.


See what Gillette is purportedly doing:


Gillette has been caught hiding tiny RFID surveillance chips in the packaging of its shaving products. These tiny, high tech spy tags are being used to trigger photo taking of unsuspecting customers!


 

 
Debate: as close to being prosecuted as Dick will ever get
10.06.04 (8:29 pm)   [edit]

The Cheney Edwards debate last night gave me deja-vu:


I believe that this is as close as we will get to experiencing the joy of having Cheney prosecuted for any of his numerous crimes.


This was the first time that the real issues got any exposures.


It was right before the 911 disaster that Cheney was going to be charged with crimes:  The GAO was planning to present him with a subpeona for testimony about his energy commission meetings.
