In reply to the discussion: (California) 'Shoot the gays' initiative likely to be circulated [View all]Peace Patriot
(24,010 posts)The corporation that is running most of the vote counting systems in this country--ES&S (which bought out Diebold)--systems run on 'TRADE SECRET' programming code that they own and control, and that we are forbidden by law to review--was initially funded by rightwing billionaire nutjob Howard Ahmanson, who also gave one millions dollars to the rightwing Christian nutjob Chalcedon Foundation, which advocates the death penalty for homosexuals!
California's Secretary of State ran ES&S/Diebold out of California--or seemed to--not long ago, but they may have sneaked back in. Whether they have or haven't, and despite California having a relatively good Sec of State--who runs a bad, bad system as well as it could be run--this insane-sounding initiative may have connection to the Chalcedon foundation or other fascist entities with ties to ES&S/Diebold or other e-voting corporations. Things like this--quite insane things like our unelected Congress is doing, or whackjobs like Scott Walker are doing--don't come out of nowhere. They are generated by these fascist organizations in order to control the political narrative and bend it, wherever possible, as far fascist as possible. This particular initiative is so very like the Chalcedon foundation position--kill the gays!--that I'm thinking the connection may be direct and that, further, with enough money the signatures might well be obtainable, and, given the privatization of our vote counting system, the vote is most certainly riggable. i think Prop. 8 was rigged. And I'm pretty sure that Schwarzenegger was rigged. Targeted riggings--if and when the fascist powers decide they want something done. Could just be a propaganda intention (to distort the political dialogue). Could be a rigging intention--though it seems a bit too wild for that. But...is our unelected Congress not wild-eyed? How about some of the other wild-eyed assholes in power in state governments?
Until we return our vote counting to the PUBLIC VENUE, we are going to continue to have these crazy, destructive, unelected people seizing power, pushing insane ideas.
