Reply #17: To TIA, who lighted the spark seen round the world! The first and foremost

[Peace Patriot]

patriot of American Revolution II! Who blew the phantoms away, and the illusions, and the lies, and the "trade secret" proprietary vote tabulation software, and the veils and veils of secrecy and deception, and the phony exit polls, and laid bare the truth about the U.S. election system--designed by the biggest crooks in Congress, Tom Delay and Bob Ney, and covered up by the war profiteering corporate news monopolies with their FALSIFIED exit polls.

That truth is the brilliant light that shone in the darkness on Nov. 3, 2004.

That is the truth that is going to liberate this country from corporate rule!

They have gone too far. They have messed with our democracy too much. It is going to come out.

That is the truth for which the 21st century is going to be known.

The Bushite fascists in collusion with the war profiteering corporate news monopoly fascists stole the 2004 election, while the Democratic Party leadership and a good portion of the left sat on its hands--out of corruption, out of fear, out of insanity. Sat on its hands and let them take away our right to vote--our very sovereignty as a people.

TIA knew it before anybody--figured it out--and would not be silenced!

Tom Paine, Thomas Jefferson, Nathan Hale and Paul Revere all wrapped up into one--and something more, something even deeper: an almost unearthly devotion to THE TRUTH. Right out of the Age of Reason and Enlightenment. Michel de Montaigne?

Montaigne's motto: "What do I know?"

He was talking about man--humanity, human nature. He rejected all pre-conceived, dogmatic, religious and political notions, and asked, "What do I know?" What do I really know about myself and about other human beings?

Friedrich Nietzsche wrote of Montaigne, "That such a man wrote has augmented the joy of living on this Earth."

And of TIA, one might say: That such a man addressed himself to the truth about our democracy--and uncovered the truth through brilliant statistical analysis--has quickened the rebirth of democracy in so many hearts--and that is a joy despite these dark times.

We now know WHAT HAPPENED. We know WHY the criminals are still in power. We know HOW they did it. And we have the immensely important strategic knowledge that it can be repaired. Our election system is broken. THAT is the problem, and that problem CAN be fixed, by dedicated civic action!

He asked: What do we know? What do the numbers tell us? He put aside all the lies, deceptions and presumptions of our political system, and sought the truth in the numbers themselves, and found it there--in fiddled, falsified numbers, and the impossible odds against those numbers being real.

The truth shall set you free! Indeed!

Truth. Is. All.

Blessings upon you, TIA!
