Bonum Certa Men Certa

The US Election Was Not Rigged, But the Nomination Process Was (Undermined to Maintain Control by Oligarchy)

Speaking out against proprietary software in voting machines is not "supporting Trump"

'With no shortage of help from Microsoft's competitors, the FTC collected mounds of evidence showing that Microsoft and IBM had been in cahoots from the beginning.' -Barbarians Led by Bill Gates



Summary: Cheating/driving the left out of the Democratic Party seems like a longstanding tradition and we know who stands to gain from it; moreover, problems remain in the voting process because it's controlled by secret code of companies like Microsoft (in spite of the openwashing)

THE latest taboo subject is legitimacy of US elections. Or the voting machines. Dare mention anything about back doors, which do exist, and you will be called a "Trump supporter" who also supports sedition. Berate the person whom Trump fired for calling the election secure (never mind if that person himself came from Microsoft) and be labeled a conspiracy theorist (or worse).



"Don't let the media conflate free speech with "violence", sedition/insurrection with "riot"/"protest" and questions about proprietary voting machines with "fascism"."Long before the 'Trump card' (a year and a half before the 2016 election) we wrote about the issues associated with election security in the US. The OSI's General Manager (who left abruptly last year) had done some work towards Free software in voting machines.

Don't let the media conflate free speech with "violence", sedition/insurrection with "riot"/"protest" and questions about proprietary voting machine with "fascism". There's an agenda there and it's not pretty. Our dear ol' Ryan, who comes from Indiana and hates Trump, notes: "There can't be a good reason for not printing out a physical, human-readable ballot. It certainly would make stealing an election in Indiana easier."
