Convicted Felons, 'Shadowy Financiers' Own Companies Counting Votes

An investigation into the surprisingly-sordid history of America’s “election services industry” has revealed that executives and owners of E S & S and Sequoia Pacific, the two largest companies, have been repeatedly convicted of bribery and suborning public officials in more than a dozen states.

And while a felony conviction may be enough to prevent you from voting in Florida, convicted felons can take heart in the fact that the “blemish” on their record in no way disqualifies them from owning the companies counting the votes.

Is this another massive government 'cover-up?' It might be possibler to dismiss it as just a 'conspiracy theory'... except for the fact that the word ‘coverup’ itself was invented to describe the activities of the original owner of Sequoia Pacific, "shadowy financier" Lewis Wolfson, who got caught bribing no less a personage than a Supreme Court Justice of the United States of America.

While Abe Fortas was forced to resign in disgrace, no such harsh fate befell Wolfson.

When you own a company that counts the votes, politicians smile more kindly on you than they might otherwise... and for good reason.

Today on page one above the fold of the NYT there is a story in which the army tried to call up a guy that is 47 has a family and hasn't flown in ten years. Seems somehow related.

6. OK, if the press isn't interested, how about the Democratic Party

Why is it that they don't care? Too afraid of being called a conspiracy theorist? Too afraid they'll be smeared and left for dead like Al Gore? Who is left to fight for government of, by and for the people?

Investigating the ownership of the two companies that together dominate the American elections industry reveals evidence of routine and systemic bribery of public officials, not just here but overseas (the recent Prime Minister of Ireland, to give just one example.)

It is a world filled—not with guys in lab coats and pocket protectors—but with guys with links to the Mob, or international money launderers, Zurich currency manipulators, telecom scandals, off-shore Channel Islands accounts in the names of fictitious people, "untraceable shareholders," Bahamian resort owners, and supra-national financiers.
