‘Daily Voting News’ For April 09, 2008

Guest Blogged by John Gideon of VotersUnite.org

Newspapers in New Jersey are reporting that Sequoia has gone to court in an attempt to quash the subpoenas of voting machines from six counties. One has to wonder what Sequoia has to hide. They claim to have sent the system used in New Jersey to Wyle Labs to be inspected. They also claim that Wyle is independent, however, Sequoia is paying for the inspection and Wyle has in their best interest to not find any problems because they previously tested this voting system and allowed it to be qualified by NASED. If they find any problems Wyle would open themselves up to the question of why did they not find that problem when they ITA tested the system a couple years ago?

{Ed Note: Sequoia’s 82-page court filing today may now be downloaded here [PDF, 7.5mb]. – BF}

Diebold/Premier has responded to the 105 lost votes in Butler Co., Ohio, by claiming there was an “anomaly” and that it had never happened before. Hopefully an investigation into this problem will give us the facts. Of course, Diebold/Premier may do the same as Sequoia and try to hide those facts from the voters.

Those stories, all linked below as usual…

    Thank you John. Call me paranoid, but in this day and age of NSA and FBI internet spying and data mining I’m always suspicious. Again, thank you for the prompt reply.

    I want to thank yourselves and everyone else who works on this issue. It makes sense to pick a topic and do one’s best to push for authentic disclosure and reform.

    {off-topic: Why are weather modification bills in the works which get no publicity at all? Do people realise that China has guaranteed good weather for the summer olympics?

    S. 1807: Weather Mitigation Research and Development Policy Authorization Act of 2007

    H.R. 3445: Weather Mitigation Research and Technology Transfer Authorization Act of 2007

    H. R. 3445

    To establish the Weather Mitigation Operations and Research Board, and for other purposes…

    (3) RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT- The term `research and development’ means theoretical analysis, exploration, experimentation, and the extension of investigative findings and theories of scientific or technical nature into practical application for experimental and demonstration purposes, including the experimental production and testing of models, devices, equipment, materials, and processes.

    (4) WEATHER MITIGATION- The term `weather mitigation’ means changing or controlling, or attempting to change or control, by artificial methods the natural development of atmospheric cloud forms or precipitation forms which occur in the troposphere. Examples include rain enhancement, snowpack augmentation, and hail suppression.

    Sorry, one more off-topic point. The above bills aren’t simply about cloud seeding for hail suppression, rain enhancement, etc.. These people are talking about climate change and severe weather.

    My message is that instead of mitigating climate change through changing the fundamental structure of society, the ptb’s want to maintain the status quo with Dr. Evil band aids which make the situation worse.

    As a friend puts it, we are not being consulted.

    Okay just so my spontaniously appearing tin foil hat does not become tarnished, as to my above cmment to John, please check out this link: hint though, every one of today’s and every day’s articles is definately worth reading:

    http://www.democracynow.org/200...it_that_allows

    And Socrates, maybe this information may help understand what’s underway. China probably has one of their own now:

    Hiya Ancient,

    I’ve been reluctant to share my prime cause of the last few years for fear of the damage it might do to the credibility of the voting integrity movement. But lately, I’ve been thinking, the dark side doesn’t play fair. If I’m gonna be labelled a conspiracy nut, I might as well fire the best stuff back.

    Like those weather bills above. Cloud seeding is already legal. All one has to do is fill out an application with the NOAA. So why the need for these new bills which mention severe weather and define mitigation as the creation of fake cloud systems?

    As for China, I found a link the other day where the US and its environmental groups like the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research are working with China. There is also a joint Taiwan-US program called COSMIC which deals with weather and the ionisphere.

    All I am gonna say for now is that there is probable cause that “chemical trails” are for real.

    My friend Lophofo has come up with tons of information on HAARP and its connections to Dr. Evil atmospheric science. He has also found that there isn’t just the HAARP station in Alaska, but that there are quite a number of other similar facilities across the globe.

    If chemtrails are contrails, I’ll admit I was wrong. But for now, it looks mighty fishy.

    HAARP, Atmospheric Research – The Big Players Involved

    We got sauteed by the way today in the Boston area. I guess the atmospheric conditions were perfect for not only persistent contrails, but for those that branch out uniformly to create a fake overcast in between the sun and the earth.

    And I finally stumbled across Erma from the archives. While I don’t think she is 87, from what I read, she does seem for real.

    There is a yin-yang to social change. We have been getting negative social change since the Reagan Revolution. We are getting knocked around spiritually. They are dividing and conquering.

    But they are not subtle. The internet is backfiring, because we at least have the opportunity to find like-minded people into similar research.

    While Erma is 100% right that we need million people peace and justice protests, we also have to work out a strategy.

    What I see missing, perhaps I am mistaken, is a student movement. The Professors and students have to spark an immediate end to the illegal Gulf War. The voting machines need to be stopped. Who knows when that will happen. Maybe within a year? There is alsways hope.

    We’re gonna have to have a truth and reconcilliation thingie too like they did in South Africa when Mandela rose to power. We have to force Obama to do the right things at all times. If he is a sell-out, we have to draw him back to reality.

    If McCain is illegally elected, we will need to hit the streets immediately with peaceful protest. We will need tens of millions. Professors, students, labor leadera, all groove non-governmental organisations have to get it together.

    I refuse to let the dark side win.

    Agreed. But as a force American people need to recognize their weight. As a whole that is.

    The people are so divided still .Or should I say brainwashed ? More are starting to wake up but still put the blame on the left or the right ,democraps or rethugs. They just cant seem to get it right at all.
    So how do you get so many to reeducate themselfs ?
    They are still hooked on the msm etc.
    Really I would rather concentrate on telling the truth about how much AIPAC or the neo-cons etc. are so involved in this government and how many billions are going to Israel then try to spend so much effort in chemtrails or attacking posters for being tin foil or paid etc.
    So many think a new president will change everything wrong but in reality nothing will ever chage for the better as long as we the people refuse to look at the facts . Right now chemtrails are the least of our worries. Lets keep our heads on the ground .Lets get AIPAC out of our government , stop sending the billions in “aid” to a country that is commiting genocide a country that now is part and parcel of our nukes (never allowed before ) and all the government playing homage to Israel .
    So I suggest that the best we can do is to educate the masses with the truth and stop the real dividers and act as a whole. Yes the truth hurts but at least then we the people will know what and who we must fight and change if we are going to survive and be a real free people.
    It is kooky to even think about chemtrails at this point when still 9-11 myths ,these wars ,the bought and paid for government, the stolen elections and the people remaining clueless are far more important at this moment.
    I think it is far more important to keep our heads on the ground and worry about the skys at a more appropriate time.
    NO MORE WARS FOR ISRAEL !
