This Is More Good News For Our Side…. But It Has Some Disturbing Implications….


Are Our Adversaries Tossing In The Towel And Preparing For An Insurgency?

It’s been a busy month of extensive travel, and numerous tidbits of thought toss like flotsam in my mind.

But something floated by today that needs to be mentioned, since it crystallizes many of those random thoughts – and provides what seems to be a combination of some unexpected welcome news with a jolt of concern.

Over the past many weeks, we’ve been puzzling over a cavalcade of dodgy “polls” based on internal numbers that seem to make no sense at all. If you want my $0.02 (U.S.) worth on the reasoning behind these “polls,” whether the dodginess is intentional or merely fortuitous for the pollsters, I’d finger three pieces of reasoning behind them – one silly, the other two more pragmatic.

1) There really are a lot of bizarre people out there who take the axiom “If you can envision it, it will happen!” literally rather than figuratively. (Hey, remember “Envision world peace” with the cuddly USSR back in the 1980s? And “Envision alternative energy” these days?) Silly, but such things are junk food for vacant souls.

2) More pragmatically, all this serves nicely as an agitprop disinformation campaign to try to depress our side and suppress turn-out – in other words, psychological warfare to try to produce voluntary self-disenfranchisement.

3) The more disturbing aspect, though, is one that has been on my mind a lot lately, and which was bumped way up on the worry-list today (see below). If nothing else, all those dodgy polls are preparing the ground for a reaction of “The election must be a fraud! President McCain is an illegitimate holder of that office!” Our adversaries stumbled onto this one due to the bizarre unfolding of electoral events back in 2000 – it was inadvertent (and demonstrably wrong), but they found that they liked it because it was useful. It gave them an excuse to try to gum up the works at every turn. And recall that they tried to roll it out again in 2004, regarding Ohio.

Well, today, there was a strange surprise lurking in my spam box.

I can’t risk auto-deleting identified spam; I let it be directed to a holding pen on the main server, and I check in there a few times a day for anything legitimate. It’s very rare for a real message to end up in there, but sometimes a professional newsletter will end up in there for committing some unknown offense – so it’s good to keep an eye on it.

During one of the checks earlier today, I found several copies of the same spam message, entitled “Stolen America” and urging me to see the film or get the DVD, or something like that (I deleted them all – if anyone also got this and feels like posting it in the comments, feel free….). The top of the message had a testimonial of some sort like, “This documentary will do for voter fraud what ‘An Inconvenient Truth’ did for global warming.” Below that was some verbiage along the lines of, “There is increasing evidence that all our elections are now being manipulated and stolen.” Naturally it cited 2000 and 2004, and indicated that it’s about to happen this year – and YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS FILM.

Well…. this is odd. If the irresistible Him that is Him is poised to sweep to an epic and overwhelming victory…. why on earth is this film being released NOW with frantic warnings? This seems like a white flag and a call to retreat into an insurgency of condemning the impending McCain presidency as “illegitimate” (here we go again).

I’d say that for the immediate tactical future, if this is an insight into the state of things among our adversaries, this is good news.

However, seeing this raises some disturbing thoughts. Are our adversaries now hardening their overall view into one that any election they lose must be fraudulent? This may be a convenient and comfortable fiction for the purposes of their “leaders” (and for the wounded psyches of the minions), but one has to wonder how deeply this is going to continue to tear into the fundamental fabric of the Republic. Things have gotten so strained that, as the indispensable Mark Steyn has noted, we are basically sliding into a sort of “cold civil war” for the time being.

This was already on my mind this past Sunday, during the long (nearly 10-hour) flight from Vienna to Washington. Dividing my time between working and snoozing, I kept hearing in my mind the famous quote from Abraham Lincoln: “A house divided against itself cannot stand.” Are we heading down a path to such a pass that the differences can only be resolved as they were back then?


Well…. perhaps there is a more felicitous outcome ahead of us. Check back in over the weekend for that.

Carville basically said that too. If Obama loses while being up in the polls 5 points or better there has been tampering and he implied violence.

According to Carville we don’t really need to even hold an election since the polling is good enough. If we dare hold an election and Obama loses, well he is kind enough to warn us something might happen. What an idiot.

JadedByPolitics (Diary) Thursday, October 30th at 8:28PM EST (link)

we are a house divided and I forsee nothing good in the future from it….ACORN and Obama have tried to ABUSE the elecion already and certainly WHEN they lose it will be a given in their minds that the election was stolen.

How could it not be I mean in Chicago you put up this kind of bread and deceit and you are rewarded with a Senate seat….they will think “how can the Messiah not have won” when they have set the stage for a REAL stolen election.

McCain/Palin will win because I’s are in the 12-15 range and they will break for McCain….because DEEP in their souls they know something is deeply WRONG with The One.

 

On Top Of This: Good Ol' Racism! And a Few Other Disturbing Factors!

Strelnikov (Diary) Thursday, October 30th at 8:33PM EST (link)

There will be 2 explanations, besides the paranoid conspiracy theory explained here by Skanderberg, and the second will be White Racism.

On Wednesday, if America votes to decline deliberately into francophiliac mediocrity, none of this will matter.

But if McCain wins, beware the wailing and gnashing of teeth! The country will be trashed as still full of White Racism, plus the fantasy that Republicans have pulled the strings again (!!!) to steal an election and put in an illegitimate president.

But you will hear other factors as to why McCain won: Religion, described as “religious fanaticism” about abortion and other “culture war” issues will be invoked, with a disgusted tone of exasperation about such a superstition.

Then there will be the moaning about the “culture of violence” concerning guns, and the senseless adherence to an obsolete self-defense mania fostered by the NRA.

As of November 4, 2008, the Code Words will be: “Klaatu – Borada – Nikto!”

Agreed.... But The Timing Here Is Odd

Skanderbeg (Diary) Thursday, October 30th at 9:31PM EST (link)

Fully agreed. But I’m really stuck on what the release of this “documentary” RIGHT NOW is telling us.

This one isn’t an “IF” thing at all – it’s a “this is all a fraud” release NOW.

This crockumentary obviously took a lot of effort to make, and it could have been used carefully – if not “needed” it could have been shelved and forgotten (as “unnecessary”), or it could have been released AFTER the election as “proof” that it was all fraudulent.

But…. why release something claiming “this election, like 2000 and 2004, is absolutely being stolen” RIGHT NOW if his highness is sweeping to a great victory? This only makes sense if they already know that his highness is going to get whomped and they have to launch the delegitimization campaign NOW to maximize their ability to cripple and hamstring the impending McCain presidency.

There’s clearly some salient information here. Maybe there’s another way to interpret it?

 
 

The Dems are hedging their bets

KeyWestConservative (Diary) Thursday, October 30th at 9:36PM EST (link)

No matter who wins it will be a close race. If Obama loses they can cry foul, already having laid the ground work as you have noted. In all likelihood it will all come down to Ohio, where Obama’s operatives have been working overtime. Expect a long, drawn out legal battle not unlike Florida 2000. The Secretary of State in Ohio is already prepared to declare the state for Obama. The Dems will try to do exactly what they accused the Bush Campaign of doing in 2000: Steal the election.

And by the way, it was Jesus who said, ‘A house divided against itself cannot stand’. If Lincoln said it, he was quoting Jesus.

“Bring ‘em on”

The point cannot be made often enough: Modern liberalism, as embodied in the Obama presidency, is the defender of the status quo. And the status quo is a road to economic ruin. Political forces cannot redistribute the wealth that the economic system does not produce.

 
 
 

projection and trusting estimates over real things

Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) Thursday, October 30th at 10:15PM EST (link)

Dem projection and trusting scientific estimates over real things.

(see also global warming earth in the balance 15 years after Gore’s book…)

Democrats are children. Children regularly create imaginary friends and imagine how things ought to be and then pitch hissy fits when reality inevitably rears its ugly head.

Funny how adult dems do the same, esp since 2000. Dems, the people that ostensibly trust “science” and “data”, have taken to polling comfort given their rare electoral wins since 1980 and 1994. They felt betrayed by Clinton in the 90s who should have consolidated liberal gains but didn’t, and so when Gore won the irrelevant popular vote and sued when he lost Florida by 500+ after withdrawing a concession, they projected their judicial activism ire at the SCOTUS.

Why?

Because they regularly rely on judges to make up laws they can’t even get majorities of Californians to pass the old fashioned way, they of course KNOW that conservative judges base rulings on desired outcomes.

Then comes the projection in 2000 and 2004 that obviously the GOP suppresses votes and wins via fraud since, they are in the party that has had it perfected at least since Chicago, WVa and Bama that had the dead elect JFK.

Yes, they have lived in an in the tank lib msm echo chamber since 2000 and have taken to believing polls are reality and that vote counts that the polls are an estimate of are fiction.

Stolen in a repub wins. Somehow all is well if Truman or dem congressional majority wins. The homeless also disappear under dem presidents.

Someone forgot to tell them that ACORNS snap under foot, causing nearby squirrels to scurry away

and cry foul!

The real world is a problem for libs. Hence the quest for a utopia where sex is consequenceless; wealth simply is, no matter the tax rate; and America makes friends by grabbing the ankles.

The search continues.

Those democrat-leaning polls are just part of Obama’s promotional stints.

After lying to their own selves, they have lost the reality that the Republicans, Conservatives and Anti-Socialist Americans still EXIST in greater numbers.

Thanks for bringing this up Skanderberg,

Tanggor (Diary) Friday, October 31st at 8:36AM EST (link)

Because the signs are all there. As you point out, they stumbled on to this in 2000, and realized how well it fits in with their plans.

Do I suggest some kind of organized conspiracy? Nyet. But large scale “groupthink” seems to move in ebbs and flows that often build their own momentum (helped along by those happily paddling in the waves, and making DVDs like the one you describe).

All the things Strelnikov said they will use are true, but the danger is still real. This one’s a sleeper folks.

Once the mob is stoked, don’t expect rational behavior until lots of blood has been spilt.

Think of some of the small villages in third world countries. A rumor starts that some old lady down the street that no one really liked anyway is a witch and made the kid next door really sick.

And remember that other guy who lived near her that died and no one knows why?

Pretty soon, the mob has stoned her to death.

This will be similar, but on a much larger scale.

Maybe it won’t happen this time. Maybe not next. But the pump is primed.

This is how the Hugo Chavez’s of the world come to power.

I’m not going to dig a bomb shelter or anything, but on November 5th, when McCain/Palin carry the day, I will be prepared for foolishness, just in case.

The Obamamob mentality, coming to a neighborhood near you.

Be Prepared.

RE: Conspiracy

MikeO Friday, October 31st at 9:20AM EST (link)

The only reason I don’t don a tinfoil hat these days is because I’ve switched to the Reynolds Wrap Release non-stick kind, and that stuff ain’t cheap. :-)

Seriously, though, until the PUMA reports of what happened in the caucuses broke, I would never have believed that a nationwide hierarchical network of political thuggery like ACORN could exist and operate in this country. I have seen with my own eyes that they are operating well outside their normal urban range.

The stupidest thing about rioting mayhem is that it has historically been confined to the rioters’ own neighborhoods. What if, under some really simple guidance from ACORN higher-ups, they take it to the suburbs, instead? Keep an eye open for any planned Obama/Biden post-election victory rallies in your area.

Any staged resources for dispelling or containing riots are likely going to be pre-deployed with traditional rioting venues in mind. This will further sap already inadequate law-enforcement manpower in jurisdictions where rioting “could never happen.”

Carefully study your rights regarding the use of force to defend yourself, your family, and your property; see to it that you have the wherewithal to do so; and keep your fingers crossed, as I do, that I’m just a paranoid nut.

We can afford to trade Ohio for PA.

Something Interesting

Patricia_C (Diary) Friday, October 31st at 10:29AM EST (link)

Exit Poll Data

I found an interesting post on a site called S.A.V.E. Democracy

It describes how boxes (like the one pictured above) are used to hold “exit poll” ballots, which are filled out by voters at the (very rare) polling places where Voter News Service (VNS) show up on election day and conduct “exit polls.”

The above photo was taken at a high school outside of Manchester , New Hampshire on February 20, 1996 during the GOP Presidential Primary (Bush/Gore). Below is the same box at a distance as it sits next to the Voter News Service Exit Poll lady who is conversing with an exiting voter.

Exit Poll Cards

The post suggests how the 4 Big TV Networks have pretended to be in hot competition to predict the “winners” and “losers” in national elections based on the so-called exit polls. However, it is odd to present the illusion of “competition” between the networks for being the best at predicting election outcome when they all receive their polling data from the same source (Voter News Service) at the same time, which explains why during the Bush/Gore election, all 4 of the networks (whose logos appear on the box) predicted Al Gore to win and then simultaneously switched to predict Bush as the victor.

Voter News Service (VNS) is a private consortium owned by ABC News, The Associated Press, CBS News, CNN, Fox News, and NBC News.

A possibly unwritten secondary mission of the Voter News Service was to provide election results as quickly as possible on election night—a point which came to haunt the VNS in the 2000 Presidential election.

The VNS received intense criticism for its ‘flip-flop’ calling of the state of Florida in that election[citation needed]. During the course of the evening, it first called the closely contested state of Florida for Al Gore, then George W. Bush, and then as ‘too close to call’. Critics argued that the state should never have been called until the state’s fate was clear. The Voter News Service also received specific criticism for calling the state of Florida for Al Gore before the polls closed in the Florida panhandle, which was located in the Central time zone and heavily Republican.

In January 2003, the VNS was disbanded largely because of failures in 2000 and 2002.

In the 2004 presidential election, a new organization called National Election Pool was set up by the same organizations.
Same Company… Different Name… which really defines that ” sign of insanity” thing… Doing the same thing the same way (with the same people for the same purpose of skewing an election toward your preferred candidate) and expecting a different outcome…?

Just like VNS, NEP suffered the same controversies during the 2004 election by releasing early polling data that was proven wrong by the final results.

“Even when you fall on your face, you’re still moving forward.”

That phrase makes me wonder something

“America makes friends by grabbing its ankles”

This may be a totally unfair generalization, but all the really randy women (and men, for that matter) seem to be Dems.
It has been said time and again, even by Dems, that the the people most likely to “put out” are the ones who feel they have to to make friends.

Is it too much of a stretch to suggest that Dems think that not just they, on an individual level, but the Nation as a whole must give it up to every randy little tin pot dictator that comes their way?

"Sarah P." at HillBuzz via Rush Limbaugh

Strelnikov (Diary) Saturday, November 1st at 7:42AM EST (link)

Recall the many times we have seen here new bloggers claiming to be ex-Republicans now voting for Big Brobama, or a blogger saying McCain is too old and The One is the Future, etc.

Rush Limbaugh reported on Thusday and Friday that according to someone posting at HillBuzz, “Sara P”, the Dems hired hundreds of people to sit at computers all day and infiltrate Republican websites to spread dissension and doom and gloom. “Sarah P” expressed some basic ethical misgivings about her role in the operation:

http://hillbuzz.wordpress.com/2008/10/27/that-is-what-change-means-for-barack-the-redistributor-it-means-taking-your-money-and-giving-it-to-someone-else/#comment-13554

An excerpt:

The internal campaign idea is to twist, distort, humiliate and finally dispirit you.
We pay people and organize people to go to all the online sites and “play the part of a clinton or mccain supporter who just switched our support for obama”
We do this to stifle your motivation and to destroy your confidence.
We did this the whole primary and it worked.
Sprinkle in mass vote confusion and it becomes bewildering. Most people lose patience and just give up on their support of a candidate and decide to just block out tv, news, websites, etc.
This surprisingly has had a huge suppressing movement and vote turnout issues.
Next, we infiltrate all the blogs and all the youtube videos and overwhelm the voting, the comments, etc. All to continue this appearance of overwhelming world support.
People makes posts to the effect that the world has “gone mad”
Thats the intention. To make you feel stressed and crazy and feel like the world is ending.
We have also had quite a hand in skewing many many polls, some we couldn’t control as much as we would have liked. But many we have spoiled over. Just enough to make real clear politics look scarey to a mccain supporter. Its worked, alough the goal was to appear 13-15 points ahead.
see, the results have been working. People tend to support a winner, go with the flow, become “sheeple”

So this is not illegal, but is not necessarily “fair” which makes it highly ironic for a candidate who is all about making Life in Amerikkka FAIR!!!

Note what this has done to Sarah P.’s conscience (or as she wrote at the beginning of the blog post “conscious”):

Sarah Palin is a huge threat, and our campaign has feared her like you can’t imagine. If it seems unfair how she has been treated, well its because she has had a team working round the clock to make her look like a fool.
this is a big conspiracy and I am so shocked that its not realized.
We released a little blurb the other day that the Obama campaign was already working on reelection and now putting our efforts towards 2012. This was to make it seem like it was above us to continue caring about 2008. Trust me, its a lie. David is very smart, but its a sticky ugly not very truthful kind of intelligence.
Its not over yet, but I think the machine is working. And its a hill to climb.
I will be quitting my post on nov 5th and my vote will be for John Mccain. Fortunately, my position has been a marketing position and I don’t feel I had any part of anything I would feel guilty for. But I look forward to getting out of this as the negativity and environment upsets me.

(My emphasis)

“David” is apparently a reference to either David Axelrod or Plouffe of the Obama Campaign.

Again, not illegal; but so self-delusional it begins inciting real fear about these characters winning the White House.

Do they really believe their own propaganda?! Do their own internal polls show them winning for real? Or are they planning on having enough fraud involved via ACORN and openly dishonest partisans like Brunner, Secretary of State in Ohio, that they will win and salve their consciences with “end-justifies-the-means” reasoning?

Last night I wrote about how somebody’s internal polling must be wrong: if the overweening preening from Obama and Co. is based on internal poll results they are seeing, well, okay.

If it is part of this act to demoralize us…and depend on fraud for the win…I weep for the future!

As of November 4, 2008, the Code Words will be: “Klaatu – Borada – Nikto!”

Whatever the point of that photo and your comment is, how the heck is the graphic art on the front of the box so much sharper and not blurred like the rest of the picture? Oh, unless it’s a high-resolution fake (i.e. Photoshopped) pasted onto a much-lower-resolution image. You can’t even read the bottom of that Forbes sign, but you can clearly make out the logos on the box.

I could be wrong (it happened once before), but that is OBVIOUSLY fake.

I googled this movie and..

oldmom Saturday, November 1st at 8:31PM EST (link)

it was just released in July 08.

Produced by Dorothy Fadiman. She received a Oscar nomination for a documentary *When Abortion Was Illegal;Untold Stories *in 1992. She didn’t win.

Appearing in her movie Stealing America, Vote by Vote is Gregg Palast- a pretty well known f-a-r left reporter and conspiracy theory pusher.

Dorothy Fadiman sounds like a VERY FAR LEFT movie maker.

The premise of the movie is Uncounted Votes changed the outcome of the election.

I checked Youtube and the movie is available there in several parts (I didn’t watch so can’t comment on its content)

Something I want to point out about the polls though. I very much remember watching Karl Rove being interviewed (I don’t recall who was doing the interview) a week or so before the 2006 Mid-term elections. All the poll numbers were pointing to a real blow out for the Democrats-possibly changing the leadership of both houses of Congress.

Karl told the guy “I see different polls. I see a lot more different polls that you don’t”.
The interviewer said something like ‘Karl, Math IS math’.
Karl said “No, there is MY MATH and YOUR MATH”. He was unfazed by the numbers that we all saw…he insisted that the Republicans were going to win.
I believed him.

He was very wrong. Or, was he just bluffing like there was no tomorrow?

That is why I am concerned today–99 out of 100 polls show Obama is ahead. Yes, many are close enough to be in the margin of error…but how can *that many *end up being wrong? Plus, errors would and could work in both candidates favor.

I could see it if there were many polls that showed very close numbers and some that showed Sen. McCain ahead, but they don’t.

I’m feeling pretty discouraged tonight.

Better a week of riots than 4 years of a thug

Indyvoter Monday, November 3rd at 8:33AM EST (link)

As a former Hillary supporter, I can confirm the shenanagans of the Obamabots. They were vicious and created the PUMA movement themselves with their guerilla, thug-like behavior during the primaries and caucuses.

Then the thug-in-chief Obama told us to “get over it” in June.

We’ve been hearing about the riot threat for months. The confessions we’ve been hearing from inside the BO campaign are no surprise to Hillary supporters. We’ve been writing about and feeling the effects of the Koolaid brigade since January.

Here’s what we say over at No Quarter. Let them riot. It’s who they are. Thugs. Better 4 years of an honorable man running the country than 4 years of thug straight out of the radical left Chicago machine.

And blame us for the victory. We’ll be glad to stand up and tell the tale of the DNC corruption and treatment of voters during the primary. Let us tell the nation that the polls were wrong and that millions of PUMAs stood up against being disenfranchised in Michigan and Florida, caucus cheating and voter intimidation.

Let them riot.

The point cannot be made often enough: Modern liberalism, as embodied in the Obama presidency, is the defender of the status quo. And the status quo is a road to economic ruin. Political forces cannot redistribute the wealth that the economic system does not produce.

DITTOS - A win is a win

All I want to do is win – Obama is the most dangerous candidate in my lifetime.

If they do a Sore Loserman repeat, they will only expose themselves to be the thugs who never deserved to win in the first place, and the damage they make will be in their neighborhood.

If Obama wins, we wont riot, we will just gear up for the long tough battle of stopping his socialist agenda and surviving his many mistakes.
