Did Bernie ever really have a chance?

Voter fraud is a major theme in this year’s election cycle. While the Republicans are completely ignoring voters, Democrats are resorting to other methods. The result? The ballet boxes are being used to suppress the will of the people.

The woman, on her to way to vote in the primaries, checked all of her documents once again. She had moved not too long ago, and although she had notified the proper authorities of her change of address and had reregistered with her party, she still wanted to make sure her i’s were dotted and her t’s crossed. Once she got to her neighborhood voting station, she went up to the man at the front desk, introduced herself and asked for a ballot. The man looked over his list and frowned. Double checking the name, he told her that she wasn’t on the list and asked if she had registered. The woman exclaimed yes and told the man her story. Quickly looking at her watch, she realized that she didn’t have time to vote, because she was going to be late for work. Now, if you were in New York City last week, that could have been you, dear listener. The race between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders was close, and probably much closer than media pundits would have you believe. But why?

For starters, the Daily Beast posted this — “New York is a closed primary, where only registered Democrats can vote in the Democratic Primary—and voters had to be registered by last October.” So, it is important to note that Republicans and their bag of tricks can’t work in New York. This is a strictly Democrat party only issue. So, what happened?

The New York Daily News ran a story that dug a little deeper in the scandal. It wrote — “A spokesperson for New York Attorney Eric Schneiderman said that his office received “by far the largest volume of complaints we have received for an election since Attorney General Schneiderman took office in 2011.” The very next paragraph noted that-“Some polling sites did not open on time, citing too few election workers. Others had faulty voting machines, or were delivered half the number of promised voting machines.” That’s right. More sleight of hand to disenfranchise the voters. But it get’s worse!

In that very same article from the Daily Beast, a woman discovers that she not only can’t vote, but that she was registered as a Republican! “It was her 2004 voter registration, replete, she remembers, with her name, her social security number, her birthday—and someone else’s signature.” Get that? Someone else’s signature! The article continues — “Sure enough, the signatures are strikingly different. Next to a box checked “Republican,” her 2004 signature is written in clear, deliberate, legible cursive and includes her middle name. Her more recent signature is a loopy, illegible scrawl. She insists she’s never changed it in her life, and says she can produce old tax forms to prove it.” If this is true, then this is a clear case of fraud. The case of the mistaken party identity could possibly be explained, but the signature? Someone not only had to think of this plan, but had to literally get out a pen and put it to paper!

To shed some light on just how massive this fraud was, WNYC reported that “126,000 Brooklyn Democrats had been removed from the voting rolls since last fall.” 126k people gone! and that was just in Brooklyn! What about the other 4 boroughs and even the rest of the state? In fact, the very same thing just happened in Arizona. A story at Heavy noted that — “… many are questioning the results of the Arizona primary, after rumors of potential election fraud started circulating. Reduced numbers of polling stations in Maricopa County resulted in long lines of up to 5 hours that may have prevented some people from being able to vote. In addition, there were concerns that some Democrats were reclassified as Republicans or Independents, forcing them to vote provisionally or not have their vote count at all.

This is a conspiracy that goes all the way to the top of the Democratic Party. Time and time again across the country, Democrats are getting short-changed by their very own party and by the very same methods. Again and again, and again. Seemingly, the will of the people is fine, as long as they all “choose” Hillary. If there ever was lesson to be learned in this year’s election cycle, it is the growing divergence between what the people of the 99% think and what they say they want versus what the top 1%, the insiders, the bankers, the lobbyists want and think the nation needs. In fact, Rush Limbaugh said it best when he noted — “The polls are just being used as another tool of voter suppression. The polls are an attempt to not reflect public opinion, but to shape it.

So, what do you think dear listeners — “Did Bernie Sanders ever really have a chance?

Trump's tariffs: A unique opportunity for BRICS and the Global South to fully escape from dollar tyranny

globinfo freexchange   Does Trump know what he is doing? Well, yes and no. While many interpretate his latest move, mostly as an attempt to halt China, his main goal is to give the final blow to the neoliberal order on behalf of his oligarchs .  From this perspective, Trump's unprecedented decision to decide mass tariffs against almost everyone, was an act of strategic hit against the global free market neoliberalism, with the financial capital  at its top. And that's because this dominant-for-almost-half-century system, identifies restrictions and protectionism as major threats against its own existence. In other words, Trump acted as a commander of the capitalist faction that wants to beat its neoliberal rivals and put itself in charge, through a new transformation of capitalism into a 21st century corporate feudalism.   Concerning China, Trump's move may have some negative impact on its economy for a while, since China has chosen to partially play by the rule...

Deranged euroclowns want to revive a nazi-origin project!

globinfo freexchange   Behind the ridiculously cartoonish latest spot of the EU that gives "instructions" to the European citizens on how to deal with a major crisis during the first hours, lies a secret desire.    The deranged euroclowns of the crypto-fascist extreme center , are trying to build up a condition of consent inside the minds of Europeans, which is related to their biggest wet dream: an autonomous imperialist European army. The idea was not born suddenly because of Trump's hostile attitude against his own allies. From the early 50s, pan-European networks of neo-Nazis were created. In May 1951, the European Social Movement (MSE) was founded in Malmö, Sweden. Essentially, it was about projecting the ideology of the German SRP on a pan-European level. The MSE, which would remain active until the 1980s, proclaimed the need for Europe to emancipate itself from the divisive tutelage of the USA and the USSR, called for the defense of the “European race” against th...

Netanyahu BRAGS About Genocide - And Our Media COVERS IT UP

by Nate Bear   Part 3 - Cruel Britannia   The UK is moving ahead with large welfare cuts for disabled people, including those with cancer. On TV the other day, the UK’s health secretary Wes Streeting said that people with cancer should be in work, not at home resting. Alongside this, the government has said that to cut youth employment it will push young people to join the army. This, of course, is in the context of a massive expenditure on military weapons in the face of the Russian bogeyman.   What’s happening in the UK under a nominally centre-left Labour government is a good reminder that there is never a lesser evil if your leaders are neoliberals. Balancing the books on the backs of the poorest and most vulnerable in society is the north star of all neoliberals, whether they call themselves centrists, left wing or right wing. Cruelty is the policy and the point.    Yet the last few years have also been a good reminder that everything is a choice. Cov...

UN rapporteur Francesca Albanese: World is watching a live genocide in Gaza and doing nothing

The New Arab   As Israel’s war on Gaza enters its 19th month, UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese is sounding the alarm louder than ever: the world is watching a live genocide — and doing nothing to stop it. In an exclusive interview with The New Arab , Albanese describes the devastation in Gaza as unparalleled since WWII. Entire neighbourhoods lie in ruins, tens of thousands are dead, and 91% of Gaza’s population is at risk of malnutrition. Over 60,000 children show signs of cognitive impairment due to starvation.  “This is not just war. This is genocide in real time,” she says. “What we are seeing now is the destruction of a people who refuse to leave.” Despite UN mandates and international law, Albanese says the global system is paralysed, and governments, corporations, and even universities are complicit. “If Palestine were a crime scene, it would bear all our fingerprints.”

US Official EXPOSES Truth About Gaza From The Inside

by Nate Bear   Part 2 - The genocide resumes   The day before the Wiz deal, Israel resumed its genocide of Gaza with an unhinged bloodthirsty rampage, the deadliest twenty-four hours in the last nearly eighteen months of genocide. A high bar had been set, and it was cleared. They attacked at night, itself an act of utter cowardice and sadism, and slaughtered hundreds as they slept in tents. In tents. Close to one hundred babies and young children were killed. The overall death toll exceeds 400 and is rising. As expected, there is not a flicker of condemnation from world leaders, many of whom are arming Israel with the weapons and intelligence it needs for genocide. The British air force spent the ceasefire period gathering intelligence on Palestinians and feeding it to Israel so they could restart the mass murder efficiently.  The genocide is the end of the west. It destroys any claim to moral superiority over Russia, China, Iran or any of the officially designated bad g...
