WILL DEMOCRATS STEAL THE PRESIDENCY IN 2016 LIKE THEY DID IN 1960?

Donald Trump has said publicly that he fears the next election will be rigged. Based both on technical capability and recent history, Trump’s concerns are not unfounded.

A recent study by Stanford University proved that Hillary Clinton’s campaign rigged the system to steal the nomination from Bernie Sanders.  What was done to Bernie Sanders in Wisconsin is stunning.

Why would the Clintons not cheat again?

Democrat voter fraud has a long history.  The most prominent example is how it enabled John Kennedy to be President in 1960 instead of Richard Nixon.

In Illinois, Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley stole the state’s’ 27 Electoral College votes for fellow Democrat John F. Kennedy.  Kennedy carried Cook County, which includes Chicago, by 318,736 votes — more than double his national margin of 118,574 votes. Kennedy won Illinois by 8,858 of 4.7 million votes cast.

Mayor Daley himself gave away the game on election eve when he said, “With the Democratic organization and the help of a few close friends,” the Democrats would prevail on election day. There is sufficient evidence that the “few close friends” mentioned include Chicago crime boss Sam Giancana.

Federal special prosecutor Morris Wexler conducted a quiet inquiry into 1960 Illinois election fraud and the evidence was pervasive. Mayor Daley was known for stuffing ballot boxes and giving ward bosses and precinct captains vote quotas. Two recounts of Chicago-area voting later showed that Democrats had likely stolen tens of thousands of votes for the Democratic ticket, including down-ballot races.

Special prosecutor Wexler’s report, issued in April 1961, found “substantial” miscounts in the 1,367 precincts it examined, including unqualified voters, misread voting machines and math mistakes. In many precincts, boarding house bums and vagrants were promised and given a shot of whiskey for a vote. There is substantial evidence that these fraudulent voters were shuttled from polling place to polling place and were “repeaters.”

Wexler’s inquiry was hampered by the non-cooperation of Cook County officials and the Democratic machine, where Wexler was stonewalled. Wexler brought contempt charges against 667 election officials, but the cases were dismissed by a Democrat judge. Three people were convicted on criminal charges.

Kennedy’s running-mate was Texas Senator Lyndon Johnson.

The evidence of voter fraud in Texas, where the Kennedy-Johnson ticket carried the state by a scant 50,000 votes was as widespread and odious as that of the Daley machine in Chicago.

Thousands of Texas ballots were thrown out on the technicality that all of those who went to the polls did not scratch out the names of the candidates for the presidency for whom they did not want to vote, as the law required. The requirement was applied in some counties and not in others.

Lyndon Johnson’s vote stealing capabilities marred his first election to the Senate in 1948, where ballot boxes disappeared while others were stuffed, requiring a U.S. Supreme Court ruling, by which Johnson stole his U.S. Senate Seat from Conservative Democrat and former Governor “Coke” Stevenson by 87 votes out of 988,295 cast.

In 1960, Johnson left little to chance — 45,000 ballots for the Nixon-Lodge ticket were disallowed because voters had circled the Nixon-Lodge ticket, rather than cross out those candidates they did not want to vote for, or were burnt within 24 hours of the election in Democrat-dominated counties where election board authorities insisted they had no room for storage.

The shift of Illinois and Texas, where victory was indeed stolen from Richard Nixon, would have elected the vice president.  The final Electoral College count was 303 Kennedy to 219 Nixon.  A switch of Illinois’ 27 and Texas’ 24 EVs given an honest vote would have resulted in 270 Nixon to 252 Kennedy. Victory was stolen from Nixon by Democrat vote fraud.

Today, the issue here is both voter fraud, and election theft through the manipulation of the computerized voting machines, particularly the DIEBOLD/PES voting machines in wide usage in most states.

Princeton Professor Andrew Appel has demonstrated how the electronic voting machines that are most widely used can be hacked in seven minutes or less.

Robert Fitrakis, Professor of Political Science in the Social and Behavioral Sciences Department at Columbus State Community College, has written a must-read book on the Strip and Flip technique used to rig these machines. Professor Fitrakis is a Green Party activist.

A computer hacker showed CBS how to vote multiple times using a simple $15.00 electronic device.

To be very clear both parties have engaged in this skullduggery and it is the party in power in each state that has custody of the machines and control of their programming. This year, the results of machines in Pennsylvania, Virginia and Ohio, where Governor John Kasich controls the machines, must be matched with exit polls, for example.

Illinois is another obvious state where Trump has been running surprisingly strong. Does anyone trust Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, a longtime Clinton hatchet man, not to monkey with the machines? I don’t. He was using city-funded Community groups to recruit anti-Trump “protestors” who posed such a threat to public safety the Trump Chicago event was canceled when the Secret Service couldn’t guarantee his safety.

How does  “Strip and Flip” work?  As easy as determining, on the basis of honest polling, who is going to win. Then, if it isn’t your candidate, simply have the votes for the other guy be given to your guy and vice versa. You keep the total vote the same.

Maybe you don’t need all the votes the other guy was going to get. If you have a plan in mind involving votes and their redistribution, you can find a programmer who can design the machine instructions to produce that outcome.  Or you can hack the machine you are voting in with that $15 device that you can get at Best Buy.

Europe has rejected electronic voting machines because they are untrustworthy. This is not a secret. The media continues a drum beat insisting voter fraud is non-existent without ever addressing the more ominous question of manipulation of the voting machines.  It keeps those in control in control.

In Europe, they use exit polling to determine who won and lost. The tabulated vote only serves as a formal verification. But that is done with paper ballots and hand counts under supervision, the way we used to do it.

Here’s the recipe now:

1. Publish a poll contrived to suggest the result you are going to bring about.
2. Manipulate the machines to bring about precisely your desired outcome.

Today, the polling industry has been reported to be “in a state of crisis” because they are altering their samples to favor Hillary. The Reuters poll actually got busted for oversampling Democrats in order to inflate Hillary’s lead.

We even had the absurdity of a Gallup poll proclaiming that 51% of those who had heard Trump’s speech were less likely to vote for him, which was endlessly repeated by the shills at MSNBC.

I predicted that Trump would lead in the polls after his highly successful convention (despite the media frenzy over the non-issue of a Melania Trump staffer plagiarizing a handful of words). In fact, post convention polling for the Trump effort by pollster Tony Fabrizio in key swing states was encouraging. Perhaps this is why the establishment elites have gone into over-drive to attack Trump.

Hillary hasn’t exactly had smooth sailing. Julian Assange of Wikileaks says he has inconvertible proof that as Secretary of State Hillary Clinton armed Isis.

The IRS has opened an investigation to the Clinton Foundation and its many offshoots, and Hillary got caught lying about what FBI Director Comey did say about her.

But you will see less of Hillary’s problems in the mainstream media, which has gone completely overboard in its relentless, even hysterical, efforts to lambaste Trump and promote her. Every remotely objective commentator has been stunned. Trump will, however, have an opportunity to drive these points home in the debates.

We are now living in a fake reality of constructed data and phony polls. The computerized voting machines can be hacked and rigged and after the experience of Bernie Sanders there is no reason to believe they won’t be. Don’t be taken in.
