from the "minderbinderaintamuleORtheG.O.P" ADVANCE WARNINGS OF . . . . odd interferences in democracy - quite seperate from the usual bluesversusreds underground hardball - (recall the famous EISENHOWER resignation speech quote )
The G.O.P "cleaning house" after the election seems already to have got underway - but assuming that some veracity is allowed rumours about the machinating of other elections in recent times, nearer these shores, it might help if good "pre-empting" detection work was undertaken by cynics, sceptics, etc - of the entire "spectrum" - to forestall very SPECIFIC MACHINATING OF THE VOTES - actually aiming to affect the INTERNAL composition of each "side" - to affect big-cash project decisions - or cover-ups afterwards. In the turnout too - "T.I.A + VOTER VAULT + "the tech'n'tech"(etc*) of influencing public opinion = the need for preparing the "cover" in advance - perhaps of the expectation of late surges, of the "superior machine", etc. CHECK. Whipping up apathy, plus !!!!
If the world IS going to get around this sharp corner we have coming up, then its a good thing for "establishment" types to get accustomed to the idea that "those pesky tin-foil hat conspiracy types" might have ways of helping them out with a warning or two - or allsorts - but - vice versa too. Its the integrity thing against the criminal "stupidity unthink" tendency . . . .if you thought war got you strange bedfellows, then - for peace - you aint seen ANYTHING yet !
runes watching - from the "recent spin" seems to show that certain factors seem about to try to dump all "democratisation" or good international/global ethical engagement as (some of ) the "neo-con" faction is dumped - back to "bung business as usual" - the war in iraq defused quite fast - as is quite possible - but with the overall "war of errorism" unquestioned . . . . the smears against the idea of sanctions, for instance, seems to have gone into high gear.
also worth looking at - scroogle "usa election update" in recent newswires here.
