"Perhaps America will one day go fascist, democratically by popular vote." Perhaps we are well on our way. The big question being is it by popular vote or voting manipulation? Time to get moving America. As Albert Einstein said, "organized force can only be opposed by organized force." The next big question, how to create a massive group consciousness within the Republic to create the much needed organized force.

Several years ago, Mark Crispin Miller cited an in-depth study concluding that the US hasn't had an honest Presidential Election since 1964.

Bush v Gore, Bush v Kerry, 81 Million Biden. In California, Prop 8 and the GMO Initiative. Locally, an incumbent reformer who made all the right enemies supposedly lost 70% - 23%. Yeah, right.

So I think we're long past getting to pick our overlords, as the Late John Judge observed about 2000. 2016 may be an exception to the rule. Time will tell.

Greg Palast did an excellent analysis of rigged (s)elections in his classic "Armed Madhouse: Who's Afraid of Osama Wolf? China Floats, Bush Sinks, The Scheme to Steal '08, No Child's Behind Left, and Other Dispatches from the Front Lines of the Class War". Be sure to get the 2006 edition, ISBN 9780743555821 (ISBN10: 0743555821). It has the reddish cover shown here:

There was a later "edition" of the book, with different covers and, more importantly, some with different content.

Alas, something happened, dunno if it was threats and/or blackmail, but Palast is now basically a DNC mouthpiece. I miss the old Greg.
