Εlection integrity activist gives firsthand details of how the voting process could have been rigged against Bernie Sanders in the Democratic primaries


Lee Camp spoke with the election integrity activist, Dr. Lora Chamberlain, about her experience on the US voting system. Chamberlain gave a firsthand example from the process in the 2016 primary vote between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, and an idea of how the primaries could have been rigged in favor of Clinton. Chamberlain gives also an idea of how this totally unreliable system could be fixed:

In Chicago we went to the audience and we saw the cover up. And so, they're counting votes on these what we call the “toilet paper rolls”, but they're like cash register receipts. We saw them counting these votes and they were putting paper ballots through another machine. What we saw, was that all of the workers - so this is a Chicago Board of Elections, and they have 21 tables going, they have all these workers doing this - and what they would do, is they had the number that they had to achieve, what we called the official recommended results.

So, they had the number that they had to achieve, and what they would do, is they had these tally sheets and they would put a dot. Let's say one electronic machine, they said had a hundred votes for Bernie. They would put a dot where a hundred votes should be. And then, when they got to that dot (and they were doing their hash marks), they would just put the votes on some posted notes and then throw them away - and kind of stopped counting once they got to the recommended number.

All of the electronic voting machines, all of the digital scanners they can all be hacked if there are insiders within election jurisdictions. And we think there are.

And so, we want that hard record, that paper ballot. We do want them digitally scanned so that they form a ballot image, but you can't stop there. A lot of activists are talking about publishing the ballot images, but you can't stop there. You got to be pulling some of those paper ballots by random and counting them. We need actual audits on the paper ballots and then comparing those to the digital scans so that we know that the digital scans are not being manipulated as well.


Chamberlain also spoke to Hard Lens Media in detail about her experience and the whole voting process. You can watch the whole discussion in the following YouTube video. Perhaps it's worth to note that the video was uploaded on February 16, 2018, yet, when we discovered it recently, it had been viewed only 58(!) times. It's really remarkable how such a serious matter attracts so little attention.


Finally, take a taste of the Venezuelan voting system of the ... “dictator” Maduro and make the comparisons yourself:

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...
