Spoonamore Reveals the Plan to Steal the 2008 Presidential Election

It may be crazy — or then again maybe not. I guess we will see come November 5th when all the “votes” are in.
New Spoonamore Interview - E-voting Machines are a National Security Threat
Last week, Velevet Revolution interviewed GOP Cyber security expert Stephen Spoonamore about the upcoming election and his testimony in the new Ohio litigation to take depositions of Karl Rove and others.
The video is posted in full below with ten short clips for You Tube viewing. This interview is so important and explosive that we urge everyone to watch it.
Spoonamore says that the GOP wanted e-voting to steal elections but now foreign governments will be hacking and the winner will be determined by the best hackers. He says that if the GOP wins the hacking competition, McCain will win 51.2 percent with three electoral votes over Obama, and it will be a stolen election.
Spoon also makes a crucial point about the people who have been implicated in much of the election theft: “They are religious extremists.” He names those who know about stolen elections, and he insists that the only way to protect this election is with paper ballots, hand-counted.
Check out this extraordinary interview after the jump.

Why Conservatives are OK with Palin Not Talking to the Media
Sep 25 at 2:02pm by Jagwire X
And why they think this is the Sign of a Strong Leader
Found on reddit and written by marko34. I don’t think I could have summed this up more concisely.
Smash Patriarchy?
I think you have to consider the CONSERVATIVE (not Republican) mindset.
Conservatives are interested in what’s called a “strict father” mentality. In this mentality, the strict father makes all the decisions, and whether or not you agree, or are familiar with the reasons behind the decisions, is beside the point. These are the decisions, live with them. Hence, “I’m the decider.”
This is why Conservatives go along with whatever their leaders tell them. They vote in their leaders/”fathers” based on personality & identification, and basically “trust” them (the leaders) to do whatever they think is right. If they (the voters) agree, great. If they don’t, it doesn’t matter. The voters granted their trust on election day, and that’s it.
From this, it follows that Conservatives aren’t interested in their candidate showing depth or competence. Look at George W. Bush! As long as s/he speaks to them in their “gut”, or if they personally identify with their candidate, that’s all that matters.
Following further on, in their view the press also can’t be trusted. It’s the “liberal media” remember?
So in absence of the press being important, or even relevant in their view, all that matters is speaking engagements. The more places that Sarah Palin can speak, the more she can rile up the base, and the more she can deliver those applause lines that speak to the “gut” rather than the brain, the better. Hence the Bush-like “loyalty rallies.”
This in no way has anything to do with her being a strong leader. It’s all in service of propping up her “image” to the base, and speaking to their mindset. I can assure you, the McCain campaign will do NOTHING that isn’t necessary that will risk shattering her image to the base (which would basically be putting her in a position which she might demonstrate weakness or lack of certainty, like answering unpredictable press questions).
It’s only the rest of us, the reasoning, thinking people, that these things are important to.
It remains to be seen, then, if the independents are going to buy into this, if they’ll react to the “strict father” authoritarian mentality, or if they’ll be convinced to think differently.
You can make a difference, btw, by writing to a news outlet of your choice and DEMANDING that they ask her questions. Put pressure on the news outlets, not the candidate. She ain’t listening.
[NOTE: By "Conservative" I am referring to a subset of the Republican party. Not fiscal or social conservatives, but a radical authoritarian wing and its followers that has gained control of the party over the past few years/decades. They call themselves "Conservatives", having stolen the term from true conservative people. So that is the term I use. It also contrasts philosophically with the term "Progressive". Just in case this is still on the front page tomorrow and people are curious about my use of terminology. If you know a better term, for example Robert Reich uses 'radcon' to mean "Radical Conservative", I'm all in favor of it.]
[NOTE 2: Yes in some ways this can apply to some members of the Democratic party, as well. Or ANY party, really. We all have the "strict father" mentality hardwired into our brains somehow. I am merely attempting to explain why Republicans/Conservatives are largely ok with it, because it is their primary active framework, and why, contrary to our intuition, it works for them.]
[NOTE 3: Credit where credit is due. These ideas are based on the brilliant work by George Lakoff, whose book "Don't Think of An Elephant" is a far better and more in-depth exploration of these topics.]
Looks like it’s a nice sucker’s buy in to the patriarchal Judeo-Christian mindset.

The Blind, the Clueless, and the Mentally Disturbed vote McCain/Palin
Sep 9 at 10:10am by Jagwire X
Palin's True Nature?
I can’t help myself - I have to say it. Anyone, anyone at all, who votes for McCain/Palin is either blind to the truth, utterly clueless when it comes to their claims or mentally disturbed and living in a universe where supernatural entities exist.
The two of them are out and out liars. Neither is a maverick. How can McCain be a maverick and about change and reform when he’s been a Washington insider for more than 20 years? He certainly doesn’t represent the everyman and everywoman - only those who can afford multiple houses. Even his choice for running mate isn’t a maverick concept - the democrats already did that 24 years ago. Palin a maverick? Hardly she bellies up to the pork barrel bar just like any other self-serving politician does.
The best we could hope for if they are elected is four more years of the same. In all likelihood it would be worse - much worse - for everyone. Oh, the evangelical armegeddonists would be happy. I could only hope that China would tank the dollar at that point - not something I really want to see happen but better than letting the end-timers have their wet dream become a reality.
If McCain/Palin are elected the chances of Palin assuming the mantle of president are unfortunately too high what with McCain being as old as he is he is liable to expire while in office. Do you really want someone with so little regard for others, so inexperienced (yes, far more inexperienced than Barack Obama), so extreme in her religious views to be president?
Anyone swayed by the insubstantial drivel McCain and Palin spout is a sucker. And I’ll gladly argue with any McCain/Palin supporters who think I’m full of it. And yes, if you support McCain/Palin I do think I’m smarter and wiser than you because only the ignorant would fall for their bull shit.

John Hagee: Idiot or Genius?
May 22 at 11:11pm by Jagwire X
Hagee & McCain
The correct answer is idiot. Charismatic apparently but then so was Hitler - didn’t make him right.
John McCain actively sought John Hagee’s backing and says he’s “very honored” and “very proud” to have it. Yesterday, a recording surfaced of Hagee “explaining” that God sent Hitler to perpetrate the Holocaust because Jews weren’t moving to Israel.
Hagee has said: Hitler stated when he came to power: ‘I am not going to do anything that has not been done by the Roman Church for the last 800 years. I am only going to do it on a greater scale and more efficiently.’… God has said: ‘I gave you [the Jews] the time to repent and you did not.’
I don’t know if I need to say any more. The word idiot comes to mind first.
Here are some other reasons he’s an idiot:
Hagee supports an American-Israeli pre-emptive military strike on Iran.
That’s clever for a “Christian” to call for violence. Can you spell hypocrite?
“Christians don’t steal or lie, they don’t get divorced or have abortions. If the Ten Commandments were followed by everyone we would be able to fire half the police force and in six months the prisons would be all half empty.”
Aren’t you missing a few commandments there? How does that fit with a pre-emptive strike in Iran? If you are soliciting other Christians to kill then you are the murderer not them.
Hagee calls literature such as J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter contemporary witchcraft.
And so what is it is, which it isn’t. It’s called fiction - that means it’s made up John.
Hagee believes in the “baptism of the Holy Spirit“, the “absolute authority of the scripture“, miraculous healing, anointing with oil, baptism by immersion, evangelism, and the “worship of the Lord through singing, clapping, and the lifting of hands“.
Argh! Makes me want to rend my shirt! I thought this was the year 2008 not 1008 and we had a better understanding of the world that didn’t include supernatural explanations and worship of gods. Other than Odin I mean.
“Most readers will be shocked by the clear record of history linking Adolf Hitler and the Roman Catholic Church in a conspiracy to exterminate the Jews.”
Say what? Where is that again?

August 22nd 2006 - The Beginning of the End?
Aug 15 at 11:11am by Jagwire X
Professor Bernard Lewis
Bernard Lewis (aka. Bush’s Historian) the man who coined the term “clash of civilizations” is predicting that Iran will initiate a third world war or some sort of end of times conflict. You can read his absurdly bigoted, hypocritical and fanatical article on the Wall Street Journal op-ed site, August 22: Does Iran have something in store?.
As an extremely cogent counter balance I present this article by Brian Whitaker of The Guardian, World to End August 22nd.
Unsurprisingly, Bernard Lewis, brings religion into it. He demonizes the Muslim world making the bigoted claim that the Iranian President would happily allow his country and people to be destroyed because for him it’s a win-win situation. This is complete bullshit. It’s not in Iran’s best interest to allow a war of the magnitude suggested to start. It might be in the best interest of a certain few people here in the U.S. but I don’t think it’s in Iran’s. It certainly isn’t in the interest of the common man anywhere in the world.

Apocalypse Now!

Christ Icon
There are some seriously Crazy people in the world. Unfortunately a great many people of influence are counted among them. What we have here are power mad lunatics who want to push the world to the brink of war to facilitate the Second Coming of Christ. Sounds very Christian doesn’t it - actively condoning the murder of innocents. These people disgust me with their hypocrisy of claiming to be Christian while going so far against the basic teachings of Christ. I may not be a Christian but I know enough to know that this is just plain wrong (moral, ethically and every way possible.)
