Stolen Election

This article today from Seeing the Forest which confirms my previous post.

As if the indictment of Lewis “Scooter” Libby wasn’t enough to give the White House some heavy concerns, a report from the Government Accounting Office takes a big bite out of the Bush clique’s pretense of legitimacy.

This powerful and probing report takes a hard look at the election of 2004 and supports the contention that the election was stolen. The report has received almost no coverage in the national media.

The GAO is the government’s lead investigative agency, and is known for rock-solid integrity and its penetrating and thorough analysis. The agency’s agreement with what have been brushed aside as “conspiracy theories” adds even more weight to the conclusion that the Bush regime has no business in the White House whatever.

[. . .] These findings are even more damning when we understand the election in Ohio was run by a secretary of state who also was co-chairman of Bush’s Ohio campaign. Far from the conclusion of anti-fraud skeptics, the GAO’s findings confirm that the network, which handled 800,000 Ohio votes, was vulnerable enough to permit a handful of purposeful operatives to turn the entire election by means of personal computers using comparatively simple software.

The Real Matrix

Remember this exchange from The Matrix:

Morpheus: "The Matrix is everywhere, it is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window, or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work, or when go to church or when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth."

Neo: "What truth?"

Morpheus: "That you are a slave, Neo. Like everyone else, you were born into bondage, born inside a prison that you cannot smell, taste, or touch. A prison for your mind."

That prison exists. We were all born inside a prison that we cannot smell, taste, or touch.  The prison we all live in is not an electronic illusion generated by an AI but is the unquestioned view of the world and our place in it generated by the dominant culture.

Tortured Logic

President Bush says, “We do not torture.” Then on the other hand he opposes a bill in congress that restates the military code to not torture.

The obvious question is: Why would someone so vociferously oppose a bill requiring you not to torture if you don’t do it?

Could it be that we are being lied to?
