Very Appropriate Truth About How Our Votes Have Been Programmed for Decades

Ever wonder how the same incompetent politicians keep getting re-elected? Read this book and you will wonder no longer.

If you are under the illusion that our so-called leaders care about the truth, read this book.

If you have the uncomfortable feeling that the vote is rigged and decided before even one vote is cast, read this book.

If you think Biden won fair and square, read this book.

Not only has this been going on for decades, but all in power are in on it all the way up to the Supreme Court. This is the topic none of them will speak about, give credibility to or give a fair and open hearing about.

If you don’t feel that way, read this book. Overall, hard to put down once you get started with it. Not all the details but enough to let you know what a cesspool our political system is and how it stays that way.

The voter fraud theory gets a little too far into the weeds at times, trying to make some sort of connection with the JFK assassin, etc. And most of these events occurred in the early 70s, the 80s, and the 90s, so a lot of the theories revolved around specific people that have been gone from the system for decades or involved technology that was outdated (like punch card and lever voting machines). However, the most interesting thing I found was the family names that keep popping up over the decades. Our government is certainly run by an oligarchic elite class. Who was mentioned? Bill Barr’s, Trump’s AG, dad was in the mix. As was Mueller’s, who worked in Trump’s DOJ, father. Janet Reno, Reagan’s AG, showed up a lot. Joe Biden was in there. And most of these people were discussed as “establishment” figures who refused to look into voter fraud evidence.

Eye opening.

something to do with electronic vote counting machines and an Evil plot to defeat democracy through elite manipulation thereof.

The Collier Brothers started a 25 quest on the voting scam issue after one of them ran for congress and noted a glitch in the TV reports. They had 31% of the vote at around 9:00 p.m. and then there was a shut down (should sound familiar since the same thing happened in the 2020 election in 5 key swing states all at the same time around 3:00 a.m.).

When the allegedly damaged computers were allegedly "fixed" about 2 hours later, their vote dropped to 16% and stayed there consistently throughout the night. They thought it was strange and wanted to find out what happened.

This book is about what happened and how they found out about it, as well as, other voter scams.

An interesting read I thought because they keep getting shut down and stifled at every turn even when they accumulated video evidence of vote fraud being conducted by the League of Woman Voter workers in Florida. (Remember those hanging chads in the 2000 Bush-Gore election? Well, the video the Collier brothers made was in the '90s and yes, was about hanging chads, so to speak.)

What I gathered from reading this book is that vote fraud has been going on ever since they began to automate the count, including mechanical vote-counting machines back in the '60s.

The Collier brother found out that they would cover over the numbers on the rollers with decals and hide the 9's or whatever amount they wanted to add to the initial vote count for a candidate or issue. Another way was to shave the plastic counter rolls to make them jump ahead 100, 200, 300 votes because the wheels slipped during the count.

The Colliers obtained a shaved roller from the warehouse where the machines, now unused, were being stored. They put a picture of it up in their newspaper.

The next time they went to the warehouse to get some documents to use, they were told there was a court order to prevent them from visiting and were chased away (but not until after they pushed past the warehouse manager who ran to make a call, ran up to the loft, grabbed counting punch cards and whatever they could stuff under their shirts. They beat it out of there as the Calvery arrived which included the County Voting Supervisor. That plunder later became tangible evidence.)

So, if you suspect there is vote fraud (and there most certainly is and anyone claiming otherwise is either willfully ignorant or incredibly naive) this is a good book to start with.

Kind of fun to read. These guys were definitely characters and outside of the box, so to speak. They were rock promoters, knew rockers of their time, and more. There are some side stories that mention names that you will probably be familiar with like Janet Reno (AG for Florida at the time). Bill Barr (AG for Daddy Bush) and Robert Mueller (Barr's Assistant AG. Kind of an interesting connection, huh?)

I learned some interesting facts and enjoyed the read as well. If this is an issue that is of interest to you, I don't think you will be disappointed. Not always a smooth ride but an interesting one that tells us that where there is potential for corruption in the political sphere, there will be corruption.

And we need to go back to paper ballots asap or it will continue. (My conclusion, not theirs.)

You can also download Black Box Voting by Beverly Harris for free from her website of the same name with a dot org after it. A more up to date follow up bringing it into the current computerized voting era. A good follow up to this book.

Summer reading continues with the completion of Votescam.

Many of us are familiar with the weird goings-on during our elections in the US, especially with the electronic touch screen machines. I had no idea, however, of the depth of the earlier fraudulent practices and how long this bullshit has been going on. Votescam will give you a different perspective and maybe add to the sick feeling that America is lost and has been since 1963.

The Collier brothers were cheated in Miami, and the book traces their search for justice that took 22 years, leaving the reader with the depressing sense that the US is now just a playground of pathological freaks that have rigged the system and spun a web of lies and propaganda, using the media to help them in their endless scamming of the public. It’s an entertaining, informative read, but with a foregone conclusion.

Can you imagine it? The People of America have parked their America right there between Mexico and Canada. And when they have come back from shopping there was a hole in the map. The chain is still there. The flag, so important for flag waving, is thrown on the side walk. But there is no America. Somebody must have stole it while The People were doing something else.

Now, I wonder how doesn't the lava just builds a new surface, but that is a mystery Collier will probably solve in another book.

Keep an eye out for 2008 as well...

Enlightening, frustrating, disheartening.

If you already thought that our "democracy" was suspicious, this book will confirm it. After all that these brothers have gone through to have only a book published about it and nothing more saddens me. The last few chapters especially are heart-warming.
