Late this afternoon a US District Court judge ordered all Ohio counties to preserve all 2004 ballots. / Poll watchers on Guam report that ballot boxes have two doors on them. One has a padlock installed and the other has ‘twist-ties’. Poll watchers were kicked out of at least one polling place by Election Commission staff for 30-minutes with no explanation. / Voters who chose to vote on paper ballots in some predominately African-American and Democrat precincts in Duval Co Florida found that the precincts ran out of paper ballots early in the day. The county blames the mistake on human error. / State required vote-sorting software seems to have failed all over Florida on Tuesday night….

      I used to live near Pittsboro,N.C…Chatham county. That group is the richest of the rich and brainiest of the brains. Pittsboro had a gay mayor. Oasis in vast wasteland of red necks. Will watch for the outcome of Monday’s superior court whatever. This is gettin’ good.

      Yess Indeed Thank You John Gideon for all you been doing.

      I think I May have been on one of your websites back in 2004 (when I first learned of these Demonic Electronic Democracy Destruction Voting Boxes)

      I see a world wide pattern now of not counting votes.

      Perhaps WW3 won’t be nukes, but instead a world wide civil war against the corruption.

      The SAD SAD fact is that I am almost starting to HOPE it happens now. Even if I am the first to go.

      If we don’t have representatives, and the representatives don’t follow the constitution, and the government don’t follow the law, or Geniva conventions, and is corrupt, is frankly friends with the enemy, and appointing corrption in every office, and allowing war proffeteering, and don’t have a plan for iraq, want’s to attack iran, is controlling our media.

      I am really really holding back from a complete meltdown, and it won’t be pretty.

      Phil, tell me your plan. I really want to hear it if you are not advocating civil war. Because I think that’s what a lot of people think has to happen and I don’t.

      We need a social revolution, not a political changing of guards. Well, changing guards might be a good idea if the new ones were better and the old ones were willing to surrender peacefully. But I don’t think it is looking very likely, do you?

      My plan is to talk about cannabis, on my blog and in conversations elsewhere, in the same way as many people talk about 9/11 truth. Both are really important topics, and both are necessary components of understanding what we are facing.

      Peaceful revolution requires some herbs of healing.

      John G.,

      I rarely comment on your posts but I do read them. You are performing a terrific service.

      Our parent company is in Ohio and I know several people there of my generation. Generally, they are awash in apathy regarding political issues. They do not seem to care who governs them. I have not heard one of them criticize Bush but they still repeat Clinton jokes. This is the mountain to climb in Ohio.

      Larry, I am concerned with 9/11. It just isn’t my primary focus. That doesn’t mean I don’t believe it needs to be talked about at all. It does, especially when we are being fed fresh lies.

      Thanks for correcting me on whitewash, by the way. Airbrush is much more accurate. I fixed the post.

      I do not know. Feels like a psyop attack.
      My current thoughts are mixed up to all hell.

      What to do…

      My intelligence says, 1240 AM Talk City, Christine Craft Show announced:

      There may be a protest on Sunday 8:00 PM and Monday 8:00 PM at CH 10, (ABC) KTXL, 400 Broadway, Sacramento, California. It depends on if they run “the path to 911” or not.

      On the one hand I’d like to go there and get some video and run a clip on my show, (Which has about 15 minutes left for OCTOBER), my show is a music show, so this would be really out of place, unless I could cut it WAY down to a couple minutes.

      On the other hand I have this desire to make a giant sign that says,

      “ELECTRONIC ELECTION FRAUD
      TOTAL MEDIA BLACKOUT
      YOU HAVE LOST THE RIGHT TO VOTE”

      on the opposite site

      “ABC == FACIST PROPAGANDA”

      Yet again, I got this feeling that the only effective protest against *ALL* corporate media is one that is going to have to be EVERY DAY, ALL DAY, For as long as it takes.

      Who has resources for that?

      Yet one more thought, is that I am becoming increasingly pissed off to the point that I don’t want to even face people that I hate so much.

      Yes I said hate. I have a resentment that I can not get rid of. The ultimate resentment which is frankly killing me internally. This resentment is so solid, it will FUCK alcoholics anonymous’s game plan.

      If you were to just let it go, because you can’t change it, then you are basically saying just let America go, just let the Constitution go, just let the Rat-fucking bastards do whatever they want.

      I might just snap completely. I don’t think Christine wants someone like that around.

      In all seriousness!
