The Election-Destroying UFO of Tampa Bay

Let's pretend there was a little traitorous scum, who should be hanged for treason, (WSBHFT) and this man is responsible for rigging national elections over and over again for money. Big-time money.

And this little man is part of a cabal that has even murdered people who threatened to testify, perhaps even a supervisor of elections or two who weren't down with the plan to hack the highest offices in the land; officials maybe, who began putting two and two together on that whole deal. I mean, these are nasty, mean people, who have toppled other governments, taught people how to torture, murder, taught tin pot banana republic generalisimos how to plant bombs to make them look like revolutionaries did it, the whole shebang.

Now, say this piece of trash (WSBHFT) is working in conjunction with several supervisors of elections across the country who are "on the take" so to speak during (just for shits and giggles) the 2012 election.

But, a problem crops up, see? Because the margin between their candidate and the incumbent president is at or greater than five percent from the get go. And as the day wears on across the western states on counting day, it becomes obvious this thing is getting way out of reach for their guy. If the results began to swap a 180 now it would look bad, real bad. And because this piece of filth (WSBHFT) got away with this gambit once, everyone is watching to make sure he doesn't get away with it again.

I mean, even the nasty little story put out there on the partisan network, (you know the one, paid for by the Chinese government trying to destroy this country from the inside?) that "when OUR people get off work you're going to see a whole lot more republican votes" etc. etc? I mean, even that lame ass story won't fly anymore, even on republicans because the beating their guy is getting, is just too comprehensive. Even they will know it's a rig.

So, what happens? Well, someone gives the order; "shut it down. Shut it down now. Live to fight another day".

But that's sort of like telling two love birds to stop once they've...well, you get the idea. Certain things have gone too far, get my drift?

So, what happens next?

"Burn the evidence!"

But how do you do that?

Well, by the same method you would try to lose a file that is active in your word processing program as you are typing it: you might want to shut the power off, or pull the plug from the wall outlet. Whatever you are working on, is erased. And then, you start all over again.

Armed with a hypothesis, we here at Rick Scott Watch, the entire editorial department slammed down our shiny phones and marched right over to the board room for a pow-wow. We mashed on some cigars with our teeth, guzzled gallons of coffee, gathered around a computer screen and typed in these words to the google search bar. "Power-outage+supervisor of elections office+2012".

And in listing after listing, these counties continued cropping up 1.) Hillsborough 2.) Pinellas 3.) Broward 4.) Miami Dade.

Huh...

Then we took off the '2012' and got nearly the same result. Far and away the number one county is Hillsborough, Florida. Yes, the others are in Florida, all of them. You have to go pages and pages until you get to the first county outside Florida.

Huh...

The cool thing about pulling the plug from a wall socket is this: there's no malicious code to hack, no electronic footprints to worry about. And those pesky vote totals that don't make sense now that we've tried to move back into the real world again, why, they're gone too.

Another neat thing about this? There's no machine company to blame, either. Because people are getting wise to that. You press people for an answer as to which machine went bad, and why did it go bad and who was the last guy to use that machine, and pretty soon you put someone in a jam: i.e. either your shitty machines are so-puke shitty I wouldn't order my dog to piss on them they are so useless, or, you've got people working in this office rigging elections.

And the end result of that titration is a lawsuit.

Not with a simple broad daylight, no one is at fault power outage. Like the one they had in Hillsborough on election day. "You mean the day before the election": (this is you asking here)

No...

"You mean the day after the election?" (this is you again, and you're really working on my nerves.)

No, sweetness, I mean DAY OF election, there was a broad daylight power outage in Tampa, they say 600 homes near the Falkenburg Road annex of the Supervisor of Elections, see? Yeah. And the neat part was it only effected the back of the building, back where they were doing the counting, see? Not the front, where people come in and vote and whatnot, or drop off their ballots, or get lied to and shit.

Oh, and get this: there was another power outage in Pinellas County that knocked out something called a "gateway device" (for all we know this is a socket or a phone jack) during the August primary too, sweetness. And that power outage ONLY went after the supervisor of elections offices. No one else got hit. Not the building less than 100 yards away. Not the other county offices, right down the street on the other side of the office park.

You believe that?

I haven't even looked into the Palm Beach and Miami Dade situations yet and I will. But let me say one more thing about the Tampa Bay area, while I am slamming on them again.

To believe officials living in and around Tampa - even the "we need to get to the bottom of all this" mental midget denialist, blue gingham wearing demo's - all of this is random, and accidental, see? Sweetness?

Defying the obvious then, the new prosaic explanation must in fact be a giant UFO, that just sort of, roosts on Tampa Bay. And the giant UFO being just one of them things, has an affinity to attack only on certain days; those being election days.

Now I plan to have a chat with officials in Hillsborough and Pinellas sometime again real soon. And when I do I am going to bring my tinfoil hat, and show them how to make one for themselves. Just in case they want to prevent the big bad UFO from scrambling their brains when it finally tires of attacking only the elections offices, ON ELECTION DAY.

Governor, Secretary of State GUILTY OF VIOLATION OF THE VOTING RIGHTS ACT

Where is the confusion of this? It was done knowingly, willfully, with intent and malice. They should be charged and of course, I will do what I can. But will I be joined?

Couldn't be more straightforward. Here it is from the Cornell University of Law.

42 USC § 1973 - Denial or abridgement of right to vote on account of race or color through voting qualifications or prerequisites; establishment of violation

(a) No voting qualification or prerequisite to voting or standard, practice, or procedure shall be imposed or applied by any State or political subdivision in a manner which results in a denial or abridgement of the right of any citizen of the United States to vote on account of race or color, or in contravention of the guarantees set forth in section 1973b(f)(2) of this title, as provided in subsection (b) of this section.

(b) A violation of subsection (a) of this section is established if, based on the totality of circumstances, it is shown that the political processes leading to nomination or election in the State or political subdivision are not equally open to participation by members of a class of citizens protected by subsection (a) of this section in that its members have less opportunity than other members of the electorate to participate in the political process and to elect representatives of their choice. The extent to which members of a protected class have been elected to office in the State or political subdivision is one circumstance which may be considered: Provided, That nothing in this section establishes a right to have members of a protected class elected in numbers equal to their proportion in the population.

The "prerequisite" or the qualification is twofold 1.) the physical prerequisite of stamina to endure unreasonable time spent in line waiting, to discharge your duty as a citizen, and 2.) possession of the prerequisite unreasonable time itself. The second quantity, time equating to lost wages, reduced economic opportunity to be looking for wages, is in effect a commodity. A poll tax affecting all protected classes including senior citizens.

The governor and his secretary of state, and to a degree, the legislature stuffed the ballot with needlessly incomprehensible legalese of eleven statewide amendments. Many of which were not in dire need of immediate review of the electorate. The total amendments, not an "abstract" summation, as had been done in previous years, utterly clogged the system. Parties mentioned here, knew full well this would be the case.

The governor and his secretary of state and the partisan legislature knowingly and in collusion evident in the media record wherein the governor vowed a "bare knuckle brawl" for the 2012 election, worked in concert to cut early voting days from 14 to 8 days, despite the unreasonably, needlessly increased ballot size. 

These combined to produce an environment hostile to voting, particularly where crowds gather, particularly within the minority community. A clear violation of the law.

Further, when petitioned to open up early voting, Florida Governor Rick Scott demurred, said nothing affirmative in this regard, and provided no legal justification for this failure to discharge his duty to the electorate; likewise the chief elections official, Secretary of State Denzner, who is ultimately responsible for the conduct of the election.

To the ACLU, NAACP, AARP, and anyone else with the legal backing financial resources and the civic heart, here is a clear path to victory and perhaps a method to remove our hideous governor, placing him in the mansion he so richly deserves: ten by six paces.

Time IS money, remember?

Help Report Pinellas County's SOE for Voter Fraud

Please won't you join me in reporting the Pinellas County Florida Supervisor of Elections Deborah Clark for suspicion of voter/election fraud?

The case couldn't be more clear than this. Tampa Bay Times and other media outlets, this time around, are actually looking into the actions of a supervisor of election.

On election day, according to the Times, and other outlets, the supervisor of elections sent out more than 12,000 robocalls alerting voters that the polls would be open the following day. Only trouble was, the day referenced in the calls was on Wednesday Nov. 8, 2012. Yes, the day AFTER the election.

It seems that back in October, the Florida Secretary of State Ken Detzner sent out a mass mailing to the 67 election supervisors in the state for public dissemination warning us all to be on the lookout for suspicious activity and to report such cases: he even specifically mentions robocalls feeding voters bum information.

What makes the Pinellas Case particularly suspicious is the information found in this article. Of course, before editors get a case of the cowards and destroy the link, I have taken the liberty to also do a couple of screen shots of the news story.

By the way, nice job TBT. 

Not to praise them too highly; we'll get to that earlier story involving Pinellas. Anyway, this is precisely the sort of thing that Secretary of State warned all of us to report to his office IMMEDIATELY when it seemed a citizen of the state of Florida, or elsewhere was doing voter fraud, as evidenced by Ken's letter to the supers. Once again, knowing how things disappear in this state, never to be seen again, I am using the screen shot as well as the link. Here's Ken's letter. (LINK)

And the screen shot.

Of course this is no laughing matter. This is very serious business. If you read the article, and several others, you see Ms. Clarke  blithely assuring us that the robocalls were handled through a vendor, so on and so forth, with numerous inconsistencies in the story noted by the reporters. But, that's only the beginning. If we were a law enforcement agency, we would also like to have reasonable suspicion that Ms. Clark had done something, possibly illegal, and did it knowingly before we brought the case forward. What cops look for is a pattern consistent with suspicious behavior. And it turns out, we have it.

In the primary election back in August there was another suspicious "glitch" in Pinellas County a total breakdown in telecommunications and power, that was never adequately explained; nor was this experienced anywhere else but within her offices, as far as can be discerned. Highly improbable.

Story 1: The initial Glitch. (LINK HERE)

Story 2: They refused to answer questions about chain of custody of every ballot cast on election day. (LINK HERE)

Story 3:  A week later they refuse to say this won't happen again in the general election because they have no idea what happened! (LINK HERE)

Story 4: Here is a blog post with my video taped interviews with Ms. Nancy Whitlock, spokesperson for the election supervisor. (LINK HERE)  Round and round we go.

The behavior of this office screams "reasonable suspicion" and as such, it is our duty as citizens to look at what we have here.

The counties around the Tampa Bay area make up 25 percent of the electorate in the state of Florida. Hillsborough and Pinellas have had numerous problems running a clean election. It's time to stop burying our heads in the sand. This is in your face. This is reasonable suspicion for election fraud.

Thousands of voters ON ELECTION DAY were told they should report to vote, the next day. Had any one group, or individual done this, the secretary of state and the attorney general of Florida would be hunting these people down. It happened already. Both made a show of outrage and vowed to get to the bottom of an effort on the part of someone in Washington State to send letters to some voters in Florida, many white, many republicans, informing them they had been removed from the voter rolls.

The secretary of state cannot have it both ways. Simply because the supervisor of elections chooses to hide in plain sight with this obvious ploy, it doesn't excuse the State Division of Elections from pursuing it. Nor does it prevent us from reporting it. It has gotten way too obvious that our officials in Florida are corrupt and attempting to confuse voters on the day of election, along with a myriad of other sins.

We only ended up with Rick Scott in our governor's mansion through irregularities in the voting systems of Florida. And while the Presidential election was not an issue, the congressional races, the senatorial races, may well have been. This can affect the balance of power in both houses of congress.

This certainly can impact the composition of the Florida legislature where for the last two years, the citizens have received an all out attack on our rights and institutions from a partisan, runaway, hyper-conservative agenda that diminishes our quality of life, and the opportunities of our children.

These rules made here in Florida have only been one voice in a chorus of evil sprung from conservative think-tanks such as ALEC which are funded by Koch Industries and other enemies of democracy.

Witness the high speed rail initiative killed here in Florida. Voted on by a partisan legislature, killed by a partisan governor who cited a report bearing his name, completed by a conservative think tank, Reason Foundation, whose board of trustees includes David Koch.

Florida's high speed rail project could have been the first step in a connecting system all over the southeast. Bringing jobs everywhere in those states. The issues is now dead. This is only one way in which the actions of a few corrupt officials in the offices of Florida's supervisor of elections, can impact the entire country.

Please use the links, use the phone numbers, make the call. It's time we take off the "citizen journalist/observer caps, and put on our actual citizen caps. It's time we don't just decry, but we actually do something to stop these people from stealing democracy.

Report it! What was done was a crime against democracy, and we damned well know it.

This One is for Hunter Thompson

I don't know which of my recent election season posts to HuffPo did the trick. Heh. And I don't particularly care.
HuffPo has blocked my further input, or otherwise put my account under some sort of "Double Secret Probation". Though I remain in good standing as a "Super User" (goodie!) apparently so many people have objected to my "truisms" they just immediately shunt my comments off the rage freeway and let them go nowhere: the way the cops pull you over as part of a group of speeders, then mill around, waiting for you to act like an ass, so they can feel extra good about the citation.
But because my brain droppings to HuffPo are my words, I will just use the snipping tool and lay them out for your review: and then you can tell me which one did the trick.
Enjoy:

That's enough for now. There are more of course, sadly. I make no excuses for my behavior. I accept that HuffPo is now wilting toward cowardice as do all of them as they grow from the "blog" stage to media giant. It seems the media is the only arena in the modern age in which the players grow less bold the more powerful they become.

When it comes to good screed, I have no rivals. I accept my own lack of humility in this regard and will try to do...better? (And that's a lie.)

Do I have an inflated idea of my place in this world? Obviously.

When I was a college student of lukewarm academic promise struggling with my math and science classes at university, I read an old article in the Rolling Stone where Hunter Thompson suggested that former U.S. Attorney General Ed Meese needed desperately to be raped by an Elk. And they printed it!

I thought "what balls this guy has!" Many dilettante writers, and I accept that handle, do you worst!, fancy themselves as taking up Hunter's power-fist into the sky.

Since he blew his brains out, there's been no one to take up the cause. I admired his comment of rage toward Ed Meese, because it challenged the status quo. I admire, as I did then, his turn of phrase that no no! he didn't just need it, Ed Meese "desperately" needed Elk rape. Or was it "was in desperate need of being raped by an Elk" or some such turn of phrase. Looking back I don't even remember the context! I just can't get the image out of my head of sweaty, naked Ed Meese, a simply awful character in history working for villains, and a confused, horny Elk on his back. I also envisioned reactionary fascist, certainly overmatched Ed Meese, with his eyes bugged in astonishment. I was floored by it, literally rolling around my dorm room, nearly peeing myself.

The idea Ed Meese would actually be raped by an Elk is ludicrous. Of course not.

But the beautiful rage sang to me like sweet wine.

Desperate need, had he as though a rough moment of copulation with an elk would give a rampant fascist the needed humility to become human once again.

And the image of Hunter typing those words; the anger, the bold righteous anger of that moment when Hunter spoke to me about power, about those in control who used us like sheep, all of it.

There is no one, his equal, as much a testament to his gifts as an indictment on our times. The corporate dark ages, which strangle rage, tame it, put it into a cage, filter it like statistical noise.

No matter, the battle continues.

And here's to you Hunter. I know I am unworthy, but in your honor, and your stead, I raise my fist into the sky and vow death before dishonor.

No, God Doesn't Demand you HAVE A RAPE BABY

It's wrong to insist that Christ is a rape supporter. Just because rapers at heart and perverts with a cruci-fetish want to tout rape as a path to both God and fatherhood, they shouldn't be able to "rape" that into the womb of our U.S. Constitution. I can only imagine men who say such heinous things, or support such ideas and/or candidates, don't have sisters, daughters or wives. Who knows, maybe raping their wives is something the do often, I don't know. Maybe they begat their five kids that way. The point is THEIR god maybe okay with rape-impregnation as a path to fatherhood as was done in Bosnia. My God however isn't. (The Constitution should protect mine from their rapist God). Maybe these politicians have a sex dungeon somewhere where they rape impregnate young women in between sessions of congress, or in between the numerous times they are running for president, I don't know. But RAPE IMPREGNATION isn't okay with me or as a possible legislated future for my daughters. And I think an effective demonstration with a broom handle just might change their views of rape, and might mend their twisted,degenerate, sick ideas of what a "loving God" will allow in a just world. To that end, I invite both Mitt Romney and this sick >>>> who no one ever heard of before this, to sit on one, repeatedly.

Thoughts On the First Debate

Unfortunately Team Obama has underestimated porcine aggression and dishonesty as a tool during election season, as far as gaining the respect of the American public. We Americans now value abusive behavior and naked lies in our candidates over style, class, and honest logical debate. Thus, a man who has flip-flopped since birth, alienated our staunchest allies, rammed both feet into is mouth up to his knees, over and over again, as well as nakedly - with great relish and hatred in his heart - insulted half the public, gains a leg up over the sitting president in only one debate. Yes, we are this stupid, apparently. Yes, our idiot Honey-Boo-Boo-first media doesn't fact check; yes, if we elect Romney because of one debate the rest of the world will have every reason to write us off as utterly irredeemable.

RIGHT-WING TERRORISM

Killing democracy IS terrorism. It promotes violence and chaos, and the associated fascist response to "calm the masses". The right wing of the republican party is all about killing democracy now, all about the terrorism of that.

All last week the Brad Friedman blog was reporting on the fact a lone, paid consulting firm was caught red handed turning in fake voter registration forms in Palm Beach County.

Perhaps sick and tired of people using her office as a viaduct of election thievery, SOE Susan Bucher threw a yellow flag on the field and blew the whistle.

This firm, Allied Consulting, run by  Bush crime family associate and serial-consultant Nathan Sproul was fired by the Republican Party of Florida who quickly threw him under the "zero-tolerance" short bus and vowed "to get to the bottom of everything". (Pfffft... as if they weren't already there.)

In his court-of-public-opinion defense Sproul used the "bad apple" metaphor in a little bus tossing of his own, this time pointing to a former Audi salesman, employed by Allied at a whopping $12 an hour to collect registrations.

Yes, the republican blame chemistry kit did its work and the precipitate at the bottom of the test tube was "that silly little man over there" who formerly sold Audi's in south Florida.

But Friedman expertly pointed out the the "lone penman" theory didn't follow the laws of physics and mathematics as we know them in this universe.

Because, it turned out, when elections supervisors all across Florida went back through some of their more egregious cases of similar appearing signatures and so forth, they found traces of that company's work (whisper the word in a tone of astonished reverence) everywhere.

Seven Florida counties became nine, became eleven. Then other states got into the act: Two states - Florida and North Carolina - have become six - Florida, North Carolina, Nevada, Virginia, Colorado, Oregon and counting as this cancer spreads and continues to do so at an alarming rate.

Never before have we been shown such bold evidence that ALL large corporate televised media are in on this one. Even the allegedly liberal ones. Not one word has appeared on Rachel Maddow. Morning Joe? Nope.

And yet the blogs are humming with the word; alive, like that old Jimmy Buffet song "The Coconut Telegraph".

When I consider the various ways in which the republican power complex has schemed to steal this next election in Florida, alone, I have to admit failure in my ability to alert anyone of import to stop it here in my state. My inability to direct officials to investigate the election of Rick Scott, my further failure to prevent the theft of the next election. I have to own it. I have failed. It will be stolen here.

With the extent of this? Obviously we are too late to stop it. All we can do is vote and hope for the best. But the lengths they have gone to starting with the quasi legal, to the unconstitutional to the fact Rick Scott had his election stolen for him, these combined, do not paint a pretty picture for anyone hoping and praying for a fair election in Florida.

GE owner of MSNBC have done their job in under-reporting this latest issue by silencing alleged liberal voice-boxes on their network, Maddow et al.

 Companies like GE want WW III, otherwise why buy up media?  They want Mittster in the White House because Mitt has promised them their war if they give him, his White House. They have done their job in allowing the scheme to defraud the American public, to continue. The liberal punditry have kept their jobs, their cozy digs. And what did you expect them to do, take OUR side? The side of we, the American people?  Get a life, will ya?

I've said it time and time again and the goddamn zombies just will not learn: Rachel Maddow doesn't give a fuck about you. Nor does Chris Hayes, otherwise they both would have said something on this one, by now. These are nothing more than slightly annoying, precocious little children, who do as they are told. They will sell you down river in a heartbeat to continue living in the lucrative world of ego pampering and status.

But now, when this national election is stolen and handed to Mitt Romney - and it likely will be given the scope of this scandal - people will be more convinced than ever, the system IS rigged, and the liberal media is nothing but a paper tiger that has failed us. We will be convinced more than ever that taking to the streets in a coordinated uprising, this time, is the only choice.

In fact. Mr. Jefferson tells us that revolution is our duty as a response to naked tyranny.

The far right of course, is counting on this. They welcome it. Those controlling the far right, know this is coming because they planned it all along. They've shorted the credit and housing markets, cocked up the financial markets,  started two wars we can't pay for, held us up for trillions of dollars in bailout money. (Did you know 96 percent of the bail out money went to the one percent?) They caused the firing of millions of American workers, foreclosed on them when they couldn't make their mortgages. I mean, just go down the list and tell me none of this was planned, especially given a clear pattern of forcing the great mass of us into a tighter and tighter corner.

Insult to injury they have raised up an absolute moron - a soup bubble has more intellect - and have placed him in line to become the next President of the United States, and then they rigged the election in advance for him.

This is in your face, folks. The thievery that makes this happen, the blatant nature of it, is designed to produce societal chaos.

Taken in all, the actions of the leadership of the republican party, meet every definition of terrorism. They have murdered us, they have taken from our pockets, the have built more prisons to house us, attempted to cut short the lives of our senior citizens, and reduced the opportunities of our children, made us fearful, and now they take away our one resource to do anything about all the above, our vote.
