What to do about vote fraud: Boycott the empire to save the republic

I ask the reader to note two stories which seem, at first, to have no link.

The first is from a Canadian named Murray MacAdam, who argues in favor of a boycott of American products:

From now on, I’m going to boycott U.S. products as much as possible and will not travel there, until they show they are a civilized nation.

Twenty years ago South Africa was a pariah state, boycotted by all people of conscience for its brutal treatment of the black majority. The international boycott of South African products was a powerful weapon in forcing the apartheid regime to change. It gave citizens around the world a practical way of making a difference.
What this writer does not understand is that all the ills of the Bush regime derive from a single evil: Vote fraud.

Which brings us to the second story: Tereza Heinz Kerry, bless her heart, has addressed the unreliability of our all-too-hackable voting machines:

"Two brothers own 80 percent of the [voting] machines used in the United States," Teresa Heinz Kerry told a group of Seattle guests at a March 7, 2005 lunch for Representative Adam Smith, according to reporter Joel Connelly in an article in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Connelly noted Heinz Kerry added that it is "very easy to hack into the mother machines."
The phrase "mother machines" refers to the central tabulators. Of course, I wish that Heinz Kerry has made reference to the fact that Howard Ahmanson, who owns most of voting machine manufacturer ES&S, prefers theocracy to democracy.

Put these two stories together, and what do we have? A recipe for action.

Americans cannot save themselves; we need help from the outside world. Those citizens of other nations who feel outraged by Republican policies must understand that vote fraud is a reality -- the foundation sin that has made all the other evils possible.

Once the world understands that basic fact, international organizations can draw up guidelines for clean elections.

The next step should be a boycott. It should last until the American government agrees to organize elections according to internationally recognized standards. The boycott should extend to investment in U.S. treasury bills.

Economic pressure can force a return to democracy. The restoration of democracy will diminish all other problems.

Yes. Vote fraud is not by any means the sole cause of our problems. But vote fraud is the most foundational problem, because as long as Bushists need not win elections they need pay no attention to any need or aspiration of the American people.

I like the idea of foreigners not lending the United States any more money until the elections are fixed. The only thing about this is that the Bushist regime may react with threats -- and maybe even the reality -- of military force.

I don't think Americans realize, particularly Republican Americans, that the world already is NOT loaning money to the United States. And it's for economic reasons not ideological reasons. The US is in a perilous state financially.

And although the BushMen may indeed threaten, they have put the US in a position of not being able to back up its military force threats because we don't have the money to mount more military attacks. The US is in a perilous state militarily.

Right here and right now we are a toothless tiger. The formerly proud and powerful United States has become an impotent bully.

Voter fraud will never sell abroad as being a viable reason for our ills. Since the US is a democracy, voter fraud can only steal elections in close elections. The world can only look at the US and wonder how the hell there was not a landslide in favor of Kerry because the world views Bush as the incompetent asshole that he is. In a sense, the world sees our predicament as being our own damn fault for not ousting the fascist GOP in a HUGE Democrat mandate.

Wholeheartedly yes. We used to "Buy American" to show our loyalty and support to our country.

Now the only way to show loyalty and support to America the Beautiful is to BOYCOTT its products ... sort of a home-baked version of the "sanctions" our government has used to destroy Iraq and other societies.

"Buy Non-American!"

---until our corporations show true patriotism and Dump Bush (& the right wing Republicans) off the back of their wagon.

Thank you Joy Tomme for saying what so many of us dare to suspect...that it WAS A KERRY LANDSLIDE.

Not just squeaking out a victory, but an overwhelming American repudiation of George Bush, his administraiton, his program and his covert aims.

KERRY WON IN A LANDSLIDE. I think we can take that as a high probable.

Apologies for hasty misattribution of the above. The thanks should go not to Joy Tomme (who deserves thanks for her comment too) but to Peg C.

Thanks, Peg C.

I've got to disagree with those who say Bush cannot take us into more military attacks. The thinking of these Bushists is not like we "normal" Americans; they think more like the Kaiser. They might not hesitate to wage a war of attrition, if they feel power slipping from them.

The Kaiser got a revolution and we may end up with the same. Let's hope it doesn't get that desperate.

I absolutely believe that voter fraud won the election for Bush and that Kerry was the real winner.

However, I have pondered the question, By how much would Kerry have won if there had been no voter fraud? And I believe, though I surely could be wrong, that it would not have been by a landslide. My belief is that the info on electoral college voting was widespread and fairly accurate and therefore the GOP only needed to spend money on skewing the vote in crucial states like FL and OH and a few other close-vote states...and that's what they did.

My thoughts on the White House waging a new war, like in Iran, are very much influenced by Sy Hersh. He reported that our plans to attack Iran would be on-the-cheap attacks...lobbing missiles, not sending in foot-soldiers because we have stretched our defense spending to the limit. And yes, other dictators have done whatever they wanted. But in a real sense, we are still a democracy. Until the BushMen declare martial law (and god knows, zealots are capable of anything), and wage a war on America, over 60% of Americans do not agree with Bush tactics....ifi the WH goes "too far" there will be an uprising.

The only question, of course, is: What's TOO FAR?

I am concerned that the Bushists apparently are preparing to allow another terrorist attack. This is how I interpret the news that Porter Goss has eliminated anti-terrorism meetings. After another attack the Bushists would ram through an Enabling Act and then we would not have that remnant of democracy that discourages war-waging.

The PNAC literature says we are to establish a hundred years of military hegemony, and the Cheney crowd is "unreality based."

vote third party just to expose election fraud.

When most of the country sees the blackout in the media on third parties and knows about the last two elections, it would expose the corporate media and the duopoly for being a sham. If the democrats and republicans see this happening, they may relinquish control of the CPD(council pres. debates), which would allow new voices to enter.

They will have a choice, coverage of third parties and entrance into the debates or risk losing all credibility and finally admitting we live in a pseudo-democracy that they can't hide anymore.

This is wild but dynamic and exciting reasoning.

Certainly international trade/economy is our Achilles heel.

As far as the next terror attack and democracy override, seems very likely to me, too.

Every Saturday, 911 Truth stands at ground zero all day with a huge banner that says, "911 Was An Inside Job!" A lot of people are interested and ask questions. A lot of people aren't interested.

The things an objective researcher is compelled to acknowledge, though, are that

1) The attacks were well-anticipated by the Army, the FAA, the White House and the Intelligence services;

2) Bush and the government carefully covered up their foreknowledge;

3) The PNAC was positioned perfectly to launch the war-on-tera and the war on civil liberties when Bush's approval rating skyrocketed on September 12th; and

4) Americans are getting wise, and the neocons will get booted out in 2006 and 2008 unless they can control the elections. Nobody believes the media anymore, anyway. Controlling the media isn't going to suffice for them anymore, since things like 911, Iraq and Social Security have taught the public that Bush and the corporate media lie.

RFK, Jr. stated that 95% of the republican party is corrupt and 75% of the democratic party is corrupt.

So who can you trust? I say none. Makes life easier. Too bad we don't have guys like MLK around anymore. I think the US public got the message.

One small problem, a person cannot boycott American Goods. Nothing is made in this country any longer except maybe computer processors and movies. We've a circle jerk economy. We're a nation of overlords. Until the world catches on and starts using import tarrifs against us, it will continue this way. Our lack of manufacturing is, after all, a major national security risk.

I'm in Columbus Ohio working on the vote reform issues. Right now, Ohio Senate Bill 77 is in the works to stall, indefinitely, the need for a paper trail on existing diebold voting machines. This comes on the heals of a suspicious (planted) local news article saying we really don't need a paper trail. (In the Columbus Dispatch).

Things are still happening here. Don't forget us.

UN inspectors for the 2006 congressional elections?
