Republic vs. Democracy
http://madmark.myfast...
by Mark E. Smith

Do you think we have a democratic form of government? Think again! When progressives call for democracy, the response from regressives is often that we do not have a democracy, we have a republic. A republic, we're told, is a representative form of democracy, so many people think that we do at least have a type of democracy. We do not. The republic we have in the USA is not only undemocratic, it is anti-democratic. The reason for this is that while we supposedly have the right to elect our representatives, in reality we do not, as I explain below, and we also lack the power to remove them for refusing to represent us, as many of us have already learned the hard way. Without the power to elect representatives who will protect our interests, and to remove them if they fail to do so, we cannot be said to have a democratic form of government.

Although the right to choose our representatives was granted in Article I, Section 2, of the Constitution, it was taken away by Section 5, which says that, "Each House shall be the judges of the Elections, Returns and Qualifications of its own Members...." I hadn't understood what that meant until Congress swore in a Representative from San Diego 3 weeks before the election was certified and with at least 68,000 votes remaining uncounted. When some of us tried to get a recount to see if he'd actually been elected, the elections officials placed several obstacles in our path and we ended up in court attempting to persuade a judge to order that there be a recount. That's when the attorney for Congress sent a letter to the judge citing the above passage from Section 5 and explaining that since Congress alone is the sole judge of the elections of its members, no court may order a recount.

The letter did mention that the Constitution provided a remedy, which was for the losing candidate to file a Federal Election Contest with Congress, but in our case the losing candidate, being a Democrat, chose to concede in the tradition established by Al Gore and John Kerry, rather than to fight. In subsequent elections several Democrats have filed election contests with Congress, but since the Democrats won a majority in '06, Democratic Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has chosen to swear in the Republican in every case, without bothering to look at the evidence that the election had been stolen. This may or may not have been because Pelosi wanted more Republican votes to help keep impeachment off the table, but in any event it did not serve the interests of the constituents of the districts that had elected a Democrat and wound up with a Republican.

According to Constitutional expert Paul Lehto, if Congress wanted to swear in a representative even before an election had been held, they could also do so. All they would have to do is "judge" that an election had been held, which they could do by means of an unofficial poll or with no basis whatsoever, and once that representative had been sworn in, only Congress itself could unseat them ? we the people have no Constitutional recourse whatsoever. But since the advent of electronic voting machines has made elections so easy to steal, Congress has no reason to preempt elections. They simply let the machines steal the elections and then swear in the "winner." Here in San Diego where our new elections officials are former Diebold spokesperson Deborah Seiler, and Michael Vu of Cuyahoga County, Ohio, election fraud infamy, we have every reason to fear more stolen elections. Let me tell you about Michael Vu.

In the 2004 presidential election, two Cuyahoga County elections officials were caught rigging the recount. The videotape, taken by citizen election activist Kathleen Wynne, was later introduced in court, and the officials, Jacqueline Maiden, the Board of Elections' third highest employee at the time, and ballot manager Kathleen Dreamer, were prosecuted on 4th degree felony and 1st degree misdemeanor charges of mishandling ballots to make the recount match the machine count, pled guilty, and were sentenced to 18 months in prison. Despite the fact that Judge Peter Corrigan told the convicted officials, "Protecting other people, I don't know, it seems unlikely that your superiors didn't know," they chose not to implicate their superior, Michael Vu. Vu then stated publicly that he didn't think that they had done anything wrong, as they had followed the same procedures that had always been used in Cuyahoga County. Vu then resigned from his position in Ohio and was quickly hired as the Assistant Registrar of Voters in San Diego, California. When irate citizens then protested to the San Diego County Board of Supervisors that Vu had stated clearly that he didn't consider felony vote rigging to be anything wrong, and that therefore he couldn't tell right from wrong and wasn't even competent to stand trial, no less hold public office, County Clerk Walt Eckard replied, "I've listened to you, I disagree, and that's that."

Well, that would have been that, except that last week I got a glossy brochure in the mail from the San Diego Registrar of Voters office which is looking for pollworkers. I phoned them to find out how I could apply to be an election observer, was put through to Deborah Seiler's secretary, Darren Neal, and he told me he'd find out and get back to me by email. His subsequent email said that I'd have to have a face to face interview with Seiler, and to phone him to make an appointment. But when I phoned, I found myself speaking directly with Seiler and we had a lengthy and pleasant conversation until I mentioned that I did not trust Michael Vu and explained why. Seiler said, "That's not true. Those convictions were dismissed and it is as if it never happened."

Continued

Never happened? Shocked, I shot an email off to Kathleen Wynne, who contacted an activist in Cuyahoga County, and we learned that even though there had been no new evidence in the case, and there was therefore no legal basis for a retrial, the perps had been granted a new trial anyway. But there was no actual trial. This time the fraudsters pled "no contest," which means that they neither admitted nor denied guilt, and on November 5th, 2007, the new judge issued a ruling of "no finding," which meant that not only was there no trial, his ruling cannot be appealed. He then ordered the felons to be released from prison and sentenced instead to a 6-month diversion program, after the successful completion of which, their convictions would be expunged and could no longer be used against them in court. The problem here is that the Cuyahoga County diversion program is designed to rehabilitate 1st-time offenders who have admitted their crimes and taken responsibility for what they did. In this case the criminals neither admitted nor denied their crimes (although they had previously pled guilty to the same charges), and their counsel stated that they took no responsibility for their actions. A suspicious person might conclude that this was their reward for not implicating their boss, but that is mere conjecture. In any event, Seiler was either misinformed or lied to me, as it is not "as if it never happened." The videotaped evidence of the Cuyahoga elections officials rigging the recount is proof that it did happen, and although it cannot be used against them in court again, it can be used for any other purpose, such as public forums and documentary films to prove that they rigged the recount. And in case you're wondering, both elections officials are Democrats and the beneficiary of the recount that they rigged was Republican George Bush. Starting to see a pattern?

Speaking of Democrats, you may have heard that California's Democratic Secretary of State, Debra Bowen, has decertified the voting machines. That isn't exactly what happened either. Bowen's to-to-bottom review of voting machines used in California found that none of them could be secured against fraud and therefore none of them could be certified. But since elections officials in California have spent a lot of taxpayer money on those machines, there was strong pressure on Bowen to allow them to continue to be used. So Bowen issued a strange document entitled, "Decertification and Conditional Recertification" of the voting machines. While many election reform activists with ties to the Democratic Party took this to mean that the voting machines had been decertified and would not be used in future elections, I understood it to mean that the machines had been recertified and would be used.

The vendors and elections officials interpreted it the same way I did, and during our phone conversation, Seiler assured me that the machines would be used for the three elections to be held in San Diego in 2008. Since the machines cannot be secured against fraud, they will not be sent home with pollworkers prior to the elections, as they were in the past, and they will not be used in the precincts, except for one machine per precinct to accommodate the disabled. Instead, San Diegans will vote by mail or at the polls on paper ballots, and the paper ballots will then be taken to the office of the Registrar of Voters where a large room with a hundred optical scan machines will be set up. The paper ballots will be fed into the machines by pollworkers and elections officials, and then the memory cards will be removed from the optical scan machines and fed into the GEMS central tabulator for a final tally. The results will then be announced, transmitted to the Secretary of State, and broadcast over the media. For all intents and purposes the election is then over, and anything past that point will be shrugged off as the futile attempts of sore losers and conspiracy theorists to undo what has already been done and cannot be undone. But to satisfy SOS Bowen's conditions for the use of voting machines, some mandatory spot checks in the form of partial hand recounts will be performed afterwards, possibly the next day, or however soon the elections officials find it practical.

So I asked Seiler what the chain-of-custody of the ballots and the protocols for their security would be between the end of the machine count and the beginning of the recount. Seilor assured me that the ballots would be kept in locked cages at election headquarters with guards. Therefore the only people who would have access to them overnight would be Seiler and......wait for it....Michael Vu! In supporting his hiring, San Diego officials had said that Vu was "battle tested." Indeed he is. This time there won't be any pesky video cameras around to record how the recounts are rigged.

To a casual observer it might appear that California's Secretary of State and local elections officials have bent over backwards to give election activists what they want. There will be paper ballots. Voting machines will not go home unattended with pollworkers the way they did previously. Observers will be allowed to watch the elections and the recounts. But of course since the human eye cannot read what is on the memory card of an optical scan machine, or what is going on inside a GEMS central tabulator as it counts or miscounts the votes, there really won't be anything to see. And since any ballot-rigging to make the hand recounts match the machine counts will be done secretly, overnight, at election headquarters, that will also be undetectable by observers.

And, as usual, once Congress swears somebody in, no action by the people can unseat them. All we can do is keep begging our representatives to represent us (and wondering why they don't), and waiting for the next rigged election, and the next rigged election, and the next rigged election, in hopes of voting them out (and wondering why their replacements aren't any better).

In a direct democracy, the people can vote directly on issues that effect them and on leaders to represent them. They can also remove leaders who fail to represent them or misrepresent them. In a republic like ours, we can vote for representatives, but we do not have the final say in who those representatives are, and we cannot remove them if they fail to represent us or misrepresent us. So it is incorrect to say that our republic is a form of representative democracy. It is not a democracy at all, it is an enemy of democracy. Some of us have learned this the hard way because we've been in the trenches on the other side of those battles that Michael Vu was tested in. And we lost.

The good Dr. Mercola has posted information about Dr. Ron Paul and sent this to all his subscribers of 5,000,000 weekly. If you can send him a thank you email, he has been a big supporter of Dr. Ron Paul for a long time. If you remember I did a story about the water buffalo's and lions, he saw this video and has made a remark

Just a repeat, just to remind you what we have done. Think before you vote.

All of use are responsible for voting in our congress. They have proven to be absolutely useless in representing us and it is all our fault, Most of us voted for these useless people just to follow party lines and never studied who they were voting for and how much commonsense they have. Yes I do believe there are a few congressmen out there that I have great respect for, but very few. You voted for these guys so you get what you get and is not good as you can see.

Aways stay independent and study every candidate and then make your choice, you will be glade you did.

Hi Flo:

Keep up the outstanding information.

I am very depressed today because I had an opportunity as a guest to attend the $1000 per plate luncheon for Dr. Paul at the Reno University, however I am not feeling good and decided not to go. That was a chance of a lifetime for me.

Ron Paul steam rolling toward the GOP nomination?
Marty Eels
Published 11/21/2007 - 12:44 p.m. EST




Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul of 2008 is starting to look an awful lot like Ronald Reagan of 1980 as he continues to demonstrate national support.

Speaking before a crowd of over a 1,000 in Las Vegas Paul outlined his agenda for the nation. The crowd was typical. It was large and wildly enthusiastic. Two weeks ago Ron Paul drew a crowd of 5,000 for a Philadelphia rally outside Independence Hall.




Ron Paul advocates a non interventist foreign policy that seeks to prevent war and improve international relations. Paul says ?maintaining empire overseas? is bankrupting America. Paul wants to pull back troops stationed in 130 countries around the world.

Ron Paul has said that he seeks peaceful solutions to Iranian nuclear ambitions and has also said, ?There is no reason for a ?new Cold War? with Russia, and the foreign policy I intend to pursue as president ? peaceful relations, engagement, and trade ? will greatly improve US/Russia relations.?

Paul voted against the Iraq war and wants to immediately withdraw troops from Iraq.

Ron Paul seeks to abolish the Federal Reserve and implement a sound monetary policy where the currency is backed by gold and silver. Paul criticizes the Federal Reserve's ability to ?print money out of thin air?. Paul has also said that the ?inflation tax? erodes the savings of the poor and middle class.

A progressive income tax system coupled with inflation amounts to annual tax increases on middle class and poor Americans even when the rate of taxation isn?t increased.

After nearly 100 years of this policy of massive tax increases through a progressive taxation system that is amplified by annual inflation, Ron Paul boldly states that he wants to eliminate federal income taxes.

Paul has tied national security to border security, ?If we were truly worried about national security, we would first secure our borders, and oppose amnesty for illegal aliens.?

The Constitution and the Bill of Rights is a centerpiece of Paul?s campaign. Paul voted against the Patriot Act and promises to restore the Bill of Rights and ?repeal the police state?.

Paul told USA Daily, ?My message is what this country was founded on; what this country ended slavery for; what every people across the world seek: freedom.?

Paul's message of freedom, peace, and prosperity seems to be resonating with the GOP base and the general public at large. Growing fears over an emerging police state in America may be contributing to Paul's rise.

The December 16th Boston Tea Party already has over 18,000 people registered for the massive online donation day. The event being organized by the same volunteers as the record breaking 4.2 million dollar November 5th fund raising event, already has 2000 more people registered than the November 5th event.

The November 5th event had about 16,000 people registered to donate but ended up getting 37,000 donors that day. At the current pace of registrations for the event, Paul is likely to raise 10 million dollars on December 16th.

Ron Paul has strong national support and his campaign looks to have been implementing a multi state strategy for a few months. The title of ?Dark Horse? appears to no longer apply. That may be very clear after December 16th. Read our exclusive Ron Paul interview . Visit the USA Daily Forum to discuss this and other issues.

The following are my thoughts too! I am co-host or chief bottle washer for Liberty and Justice for ALL TV program. Dennis and I are also in the 845 meetup group in Northern Nevada.
Please pass this on today as well as my wish for a safe, peaceful holiday for you and your family.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING
From: Dennis Grover, American

In these times of poisoned food and water, chemicals from the sky, mind-altering pharmaceuticals, revised history and mind-numbing education; there has emerged an unusual breed of humanity. People like you and I who can clearly see what is happening in our once free country. I like to call this wonderfully immune group, Americans. The very core of a healthy, free people has three basic attributes. Praise, Gratitude and Love. On this holiday I express them all.

I give thanks to the ?elected leaders? in majority along with their word and actions. Without them I would not be able to recognize that I have morals.

I give thanks to the Federal Reserve System. It would be my pleasure to meet those who devised such a scheme for a quick back patting session prior to their demise, however, I know that to be impossible since when we depart this earth, their accommodations and my own will be quite different. I do appreciate their efforts here as they have taught me the true meaning of fraud.

I give thanks for the Internal Revenue Service. (Re-read the last paragraph.)

I give thanks to chemical companies and the aircrews who spew their poison across our skies. Without their presence I would not remember the clear blue skies that used to cover our land, nor would I have realized the vast amount of people lacking the ability to look upward and venomously attack those who request that they do so.

I give thanks to the marriage of pharmaceutical companies and the medical industry. Without this union from hell, I would never have learned the true meaning of natural health and healing.

I give thanks to those who renamed the hazardous waste hydrofluorosilic acid to fluoride and made it more acceptable to dump in our municipal water supplies. Without them I would have never known why osteoporosis, cancer and dental profits were on the rise.

I give thanks to those who designed and implemented our government-controlled public school curriculum. Without them I would never have believed the high level of frustration among dedicated teachers trying to do their job with their hands tied. I would not understand the emergence of generations of children functioning without conscious interpretations of their actions. I would also not know the value of self-education.

I give thanks to the major media networks now owned by an elite few because in their absence I would still believe that puppets have visible strings. I would not know that man was capable of distorting facts daily for a paycheck. I would not know to question what is being said instead of just accepting it.

I give thanks to the present judicial and legal profession that has replaced our justice system. They have successfully nudged out the honest whores to become the oldest profession.. The present day system, through personal experience, has taught me that those participants in their fine suits and black ceremonial robes strike the very core of corruption by replacing law with procedures. Contempt of court has become a national phenomena rather than a crime.

I give thanks to organized religion and political parties, as bearing witness to the actions of their leaders has taught me the value of exercising personal spirituality and creation of my path rather than blindly following theirs.

I give thanks to sheep as watching their every move in reaction to the dog bark has taught me to not react and conform to a shepherd masquerading as an owner of the flock.

While there is much more in this same vain to give thanks for, I will always remember the words of a very wise Western Shoshone Elder when he looked me straight in the eye and said ?We as a vast and varied people in a great and free nation screwed up and are now living on government-granted reservations. Now you are the Indian, what are you going to do about it??

I give thanks to you for having read this far and understanding. You must be an American.. After spending years at racetracks I learned that coming in second only meant that you are the first loser. In this race to regain our Freedom, health and sanity, I will only accept the first place trophy. America, Land of the Free and Home of the Brave.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Driver Tased For Asking Officer Why He Was Stopped
Man who refused to sign speeding ticket because he did not understand what it was is tased and arrested by officer who then refused to read him his rights
Steve Watson
Infowars.net
Wednesday, Nov 21, 2007
A man was tased and arrested on a Utah highway after being stopped by an officer and refusing to sign a speeding ticket because he did not understand what offence he had committed or why he had been pulled over.
The encounter, captured on the police car camera on September 14th and released this week, is the latest in a long string of incidents involving the unacceptable use of Tasers by officers on citizens whom the evidence reveals are in no way threatening, acting unlawfully or resisting co-operation.
The video shows the Utah Highway Patrolman pull over Jared Massey and his pregnant wife who also had their baby with them in the car and ask for Mr Massey's license.
Mr Massey tells the officer he does not understand why he has been stopped or what he is being charged with, at which point the officer orders Massey to get out of the car. The officer then puts down his clipboard and immediately takes out his Taser and points it at Mr Massey without any provocation whatsoever, yelling "Turn around and put your hands behind your back" as Massey attempts to point out the speed limit sign and engage the officer in conversation.
A shocked Massey asks "what the hell is wrong with you?" and backs away, turning around as the officer had demanded, at which point the officer unleashes 50,000 volts from the Taser into Massey's body, sending him screaming to the ground instantly and causing his wife to jump out of the car and yell hysterically for help.
Watch the video on this page:
http://infowars.net/a...
Lying face down on the ground a shell shocked, Mr Massey says "officer I don't know what you are doing, I don't know why you are doing what you are doing" to which the officer replies "I am placing you under arrest because you did not obey my instruction."
Mr Massey then once again asks the officer several times why he was stopped and what he is being charged with. He then asks for his rights to be read and points out that the officer cannot arrest him without doing this. Instead of reading Massey his rights the officer then addresses another patrolman who arrives on the scene sardonically commenting "Ohhh he took a ride with the Taser" to which the other officer answers "painful isn't it".
The icing on the cake comes at the end of the video when the officer LIES to his own colleague about the encounter, clearly stating that he verbally warned Massey he was going to tase him, as is the law, when there was no warning whatsoever.
Mr Massey is planning to file a lawsuit against the Utah Highway Patrol. He says he was already slowing down as he approached the 40 mile per hour sign in the construction zone outside of vernal. All charges except for the speeding ticket have been dropped.
This amazing video reveals how eroded civil and constitutional rights have now become. The officer had no legal right to make Massey sign any document he did not understand
Tasers are supposed to be the last response before lethal action, however, police now use them as if they are batons or pepper spray.
In the last year over 300 people have died in admitted cases in the US alone from being tased. In the last week alone we have posted three separate stories of Taser deaths. Every week we post stories of incidents, which often feature old women, children and disabled people as the victims. The weapons are even being used in schools.
The police are now trained that "pain compliance," a euphemism for torture, is acceptable in apprehending anyone even if that person poses no physical danger. If you electrify any person, they suffer extreme pain and stand a high chance of being killed.
Despite this, idiotic media hacks such as Fox News host Brian Kilmead are happy to promote police state tactics, selling the idea that protestors or people that merely question authority in any way are threatening and should be tased or "beaten to a pulp".
This phenomenon is out of control, how many more acts of wanton police brutality, torture and death by means of tasering are we to endure?
Taser use is being abused by police all over the country and beyond as cops are trained that torture is a perfectly acceptable response to somebody who acts out of the ordinary, asks the wrong question or refuses to show their papers.
