TruthIsAll love post! Clean elections needed to heal a sick country!

Like many here at DU, I came to DU after the 2004 election, looking for answers--I didn't think the country had re-elected this thieving, murderous junta--and I stayed on at DU because of one person, known to us all as TruthIsAll.

His statistical analysis of the 2004 election exit polls and other election number-crunching established that something was extremely wrong with that vote count, with the culprit likely being the rightwing Bushite corporations--Diebold and ES&S--who now control the tabulation of our votes in new and highly insecure and hackable electronic voting systems run on 'TRADE SECRET,' PROPRIETARY programming code, with virtually no audit/recount controls--a NON-TRANSPARENT voting system brought to you by the biggest crooks in Congress, Tom Delay and Bob Ney, who funded this election scam with the $4 billion electronic voting boondoggle called the "Help America Vote Act" during the 2001-2004 period.

The purpose of HAVA was to completely corrupt and destroy our election system, and that's what it did.

TruthIsAll demonstrated what happens when you can't recount the vote, and when votes are counted by fascist corporations behind a veil of secrecy, in collusion with the war profiteering corporate news monopolies. The news monopolies did their part by shutting down the reporting system on election night 2004, and FALSIFYING their exit polls (Kerry won) to 'FIT' the results of Diebold's and ES&S's secret formulae (Bush won).

This was not an election. This was a coup.

Everything that has happened since strongly reinforces that conclusion. We are suffering a fascist junta.

Our country is sick from humongous, unprecedented looting by this junta, and is sick in its soul with torture, mass murder, lying and greed.

Now TruthIsAll is ill and in the hospital. The war he waged for the TRUTH in the months after the election undoubtedly took its toll on him. The entire country and all of its institutions--the Democratic Party, the Republican Party, the Congress, the courts, the corporate news monopolies, individual corrupt or frightened election officials around the country, and a good portion of the leftist establishment, not only failed us, they drew an Iron Curtain down over the news of this fraudulent election system and its fraudulent results.

Fighting that kind of darkness can be sickening. It can do you in. It's no wonder TIA is ill.

Clearly we need a revolution here, such as is occurring all over Latin America--with leftist governments elected, often by big majorities, in Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Venezuela and Bolivia--virtually the entire map of South America. Peru and Mexico will likely be next. And one of the keys to this remarkable revolution is TRANSPARENT elections, the result of hard work by grass roots activists, local civic groups, the OAS, EU election groups and the Carter Center.

In Chile, they just elected their first woman president, socialist Michele Batchelet, who was tortured by the US-backed dictator Pinochet. In Bolivia, they just elected their first indigenous Indian president, Evo Morales--after a grass roots uprising against Bechtel, which had privatized the water in one Bolivian city and jacked up the prices to the poor. Bolivia threw Bechtel out of their country, and elected a socialist and former coca leaf grower, Evo Morales. Brazil has as president a former steel worker, Lula da Silva, who led the third world country revolt at the World Trade Organization meeting in Cancun. And then there is Hugo Chavez, the firebrand of the continent, who is using some of Venezuela's oil revenues at long last to benefit Venezuela's vast poor population, and whose elections are among the most highly monitored in the world. These governments have common themes: ENFRANCHISEMENT of the highly oppressed and exploited, and mostly black and brown, poor of Latin America, self-determination, anti-imperialism and anti-Bush and his ugly war. And it's all happening DEMOCRATICALLY, through TRANSPARENT elections.

The revolution that is sweeping Latin America, to me, is a large-scale manifestation of TIA's passion for democracy, and for the truth, honesty, and openness that it must be based upon.

The Latin Americans are proving that you CAN restore democracy, and save your country from vicious oppression and massive theft. These countries have suffered centuries of oppression, and in modern times, continued oppression by US-based global corporations and banks, by US-trained death squads, by US-supported dictators, by assassinations and torture, and by the greed of the their own rich elites.

It CAN be done. You can create democracy. You can restore democracy. And the Latin Americans are showing the way--how to do it peacefully and democratically.

I believe that TIA's insistence on the truth is the spark for American Revolution II. I feel it burning in my heart and in my mind. Step one: We MUST restore our right to vote, and seize our election system back from the criminals who would count our votes with "TRADE SECRET" programming!

That is my healing message. It CAN be done! It's happening outside our borders, all over Latin America. And it CAN happen here, in the birthplace of modern democracy, the U.S. of A.

Rest, TIA! You've done your work. It is a beacon, still shining its brilliant light. Others can read it for themselves at: www.TruthIsAll.net.

Rest well, truth-lover! Patriot! Beautiful one! Know that you did well by us. Accept our thanks and our prayers. Heal yourself.
