Guerilla action: Who is Jeff Dean?

[hvn_nbr_2]

Jeff Dean of course is the chief programmer at Diebold. Jeff Dean is also a convicted felon with multiple felony convictions for commiting fraud by hacking software.

I believe that if most Americans knew that the chief programmer in charge of programming the computers that count our votes was a convicted felon hacker, it wouldn't matter what level of security voting systems had, it wouldn't matter how much evidence of fraud we gather or don't gather, that fact alone would make Americans unwilling to trust computerized vote counting, especially from Diebold.

We all know of course that the presstitutes in the Ministry of Propaganda won't report that information to the American public because they too know that people wouldn't stand for it.

But what if people started seeing the question, "Who is Jeff Dean?" everywhere they went? On signs hanging from freeway overpasses, on stickers on the walls of public restrooms, on signs behind the goalposts at football games, on stickers on the handles of grocery shopping carts, in all the places that you can think of that I haven't thought of? If people see it enough, they'll want to know what it's all about, and eventually the presstitutes will have to tell them.

Who's in? And what other ideas do you have for getting the question out to the public?

1. Wow.. there's a lot out there on him!

Jeff Dean was Senior Vice-President of Global Election Systems when it was bought by Diebold. Even though he had been convicted of 23 counts of felony theft in the first degree, Jeff Dean was retained as a consultant by Diebold and was largely responsible for programming the optical scanning software now used in most of the United States.

Diebold consultant Jeff Dean was convicted of planting back doors in his software and using a "high degree of sophistication" to evade detection over a period of 2 years.

27. Convicted of 23 felonies...and he is free. Go figure. So how much

jail time did he serve, or should I even bother to ask?

2. Are you sure he's STILL working in this capacity with Diebold?

I think Diebold claimed when this came to light that he no longer worked in this capacity, but Bev Harris had internal memos that showed he had been paid as a consultant during the late spring and summer of 2002 before the obvious GA election fraud of 2002, the supposition being that his programming was what turned the trick in GA.

I would have thought they would have found a way to hide his influence now. Of course, if we had any investigative journalists, they would have discovered his lair by now and done some interviews and some articles detailing his life and times.

3. To a large extent, it doesn't really matter

They knowingly had a convicted hacker in a position to hack our elections. If people knew that, it would make them want to know more.

[Doctor_J]

4. Actually, around 1/2 the people wouldn't give a damn

Since they're secure in the knowledge that any hack will go in their favor. The RW is on record as saying that it's OK if the elections in 00 and 04 were rigged, since it was more important to have * in office than to have a fair election.

6. Thanks for that kick.

I was about to conclude that the idea had almost no appeal. Maybe I should post a link in the election reform forum.

[MelissaB]

7. I found it linked there in the "Daily Thread".

:hi: It does make election items easier to find if things like this are cross-posted.

8. Kicked and recommended n/t

It's amazing to me to see this.

10. OMG.

OMG. OMG. OMG.

:wow:

11. The DNC has been aggressive. Maybe they can organize tv spots.

This needs to be amplified. I'm not sure you can play the "convicted felon" card with someone who has paid their dues. However, would you let a convicted sex offender babysit your kids? Would you trust an ATM that had no receipt, and that had software developed by a felon with multiple felony convictions?


This is so old. We were playing around with this stuff in the summer of '04. November was creeping up, and the msm was looking the other way.

12. pretty damn disgusting, huh?

This president, brought to you by... Jeff Dean!

[druidity33]

13. stickers and such...

i've been making poo flags and little stickers and magnets...
checkout-
www.littleflagart.com
I can make larger size stickers too...
they are printed at home on an Epson, i'll send you a few samples if you PM an address...

or-
keep it simpler...
there are many websites where you can order 100+ or 500+ bumperstickers in B&W cheaply...
here's a couple:
http://www.customizedstickers.com/bumper-stickers.shtml
http://www.stickernation.com/

As for banners, well... those are more difficult, time consuming and sometimes dangerous/illegal... but they can be effective...

i like these little dots.........

[Cults4Bush]

14. Poo Flags! "Who is Jeff Dean" on Poo Flags across the nation will have

to generate some interest. Well it worked pretty god in Germany anyway.

Love it!

[hvn_nbr_2]

15. Reasonable prices for single bumperstickers

http://www.makestickers.com
You can design your own custom bumpersticker and get quantities as small as one. 1 sticker: $4.95. 5 for $18.95. It's the only place I've found that you can get tiny numbers of bumperstickers for sensible prices. I got my "Lies about sex. Lies to start a war. Impeach whom?" stickers from them. These are standard size 3 X 10 inch stickers.

I'm going to check your site, but it seems to be loading slowly right now. (Maybe your DU post stimulated a flood of hits?)

Oh, I do agree with you about the banners having pitfalls. Gotta be careful about them.

22. Links, links -- We got links.

Since a couple people asked for links...

These are among the 22200 Google hits for "Dean Diebold programmer fraud felony OR felonies OR convictions OR convicted". They're in approximately the sequence they came back from Google, although I skipped some that were questionable or repetitious, and I included a couple that I found linking from the links.
