Influenced or Rigged, A matter of Semantics?

Politics, , ,

In the last year like every election year since the founding of this county someone has gone around and cried that the elections are rigged. In some cases they are right but the winners and/or the losers always made sure that in the aftermath that there is no evidence that it had ever happened.  For those that dig into history and find some proof, they are labeled as conspiracy theorists or Crack-Pots or something else.

We don’t want the ignorant sheep that is the public to rise up in anger to learn that the Political Elite have been running the show from birth the death.

“Do as I say, Not as I do.”

“We know what is best for you.”

Since the beginning of this country the other countries of the world have tried to influence the elections for the top power spots of this country and we have been doing the same to the rest of the world. Now with internet social forums and the modern electronic age it is more work to keep it low keyed.  You never know when it might turn around and bite you in the ass.  Take a look on how hard the United States did not want President Putin in power in the new Russia.  Maybe he was just returning the favor.  Was his election influenced or rigged for him by outsiders or Russia’s political elite?

If you look at history, you will find that some of the biggest power players in the influence business have been the News Media. It probably started with the story telling bards of old.  They went around telling the next village the triumphs or fall of Kings and Heroes.  This grew into the Newspapers and then into the Television News.  Now we have the Internet Media and the old way of doing business is not putting the money into their pockets like they want.  With the advent of the social platforms of the internet, those losing money to the new way of doing things now scream everything is Rigged.  With every type of media used through the ages, there have been good and bad users.  It is still the same today.

There are some groups of hackers that may be associated or in the hire of a country that has caused trouble in one country or another. This has been an ongoing struggle to keep them in check.  There are many very smart or very lucky people out there that work on both sides of the issue.  Some for nationalist pride and some just for the money.

So, we find that in today’s world, if you no longer can influence a favorable outcome you cry that it was rigged.

OR

You find a better hacker.

Recap of the 2016 Election

Politics, , , , ,

From the conventions to the day after the election vote was a whirlwind of accusations and counter acquisitions.

The candidates weathered the storm with the big and little news people doing all their work for them.

The scorecard was being used every which way you can imagine.

We found polling data that was correct, incorrect or outright wrong.

The regular voting blocs were content that everything was either going their way on one side and the other was fighting with themselves to control their party.

In among all of this was a small ground swell of voters getting ready to step up and make a change.

A change the political elite was not ready to see or hear.

 

Now in a real election, you would not get the results till the county or township election boards certified the results in their bailiwicks to be truthful and not tampered with. Those results would then be sent to the State elections board for review and certified.  Once these results were made public then a new leader would be notified.  This usually takes at least a week.

Now days, the major News Networks take it among themselves to do an ‘Informal’ head count and then start touting the new or re-elected leader of the free world.  For those that watched the coverage on election night they saw the Talking Heads of the news networks where all happy at the start of their coverage and by the end of the night, they were at a loss of words as to what was happening.

Earlier I mentioned a ground swell of voters. They stepped up and made a decision to VOTE.  I would have like to said a tidal wave but that would be every legal United States of America citizen voting.

Late on election night, when the numbers started to signal a change the country held its breath. It was like watching a football game in the final seconds and with forth and ninety-nine, a quarterback sneak running for the touchdown.  Both sides cheered the last chance win but then the losing side realized they had lost.  They sat in stunned silence for a long time then they felt they got cheated.  They took to the streets to express their anger and in some cases caused riots.  While the rest of America turned returning to their lives.  But the elites and the News Networks want that dissent to further their goals.

Before the election you had one side saying the other side was rigging the voting and the major news networks and the White House was saying that it couldn’t happen and would never happen. Now that they lost, they are now coming forward saying it was rigged by someone or by other countries.

For a Presidential election there is one more step. The Electoral College.  This step in the Presidential election is the final step our founding fathers placed before us to ensure that select few states would maintain control of the government for their own benefit.

 

We close out the 2016 Election Year with many things still going on. What will the next year bring is still open to debate.

Politics Rigged???

Politics, ,

Now someone is running around saying in a ‘SHOCKING POLL’, that the elections are now rigged. Under what rock or drug induced life have you been living?  Anyone that took American History in high school knows that it has happened since the beginning of this nation.  (Do they even teach the ‘Real’ American History in schools anymore?)

Today we have computers and cell phones which brought about the new social media and instant results of what is happening in the world and right next door. With the amount digital excrement that is being force at us, you would think that we, the normal everyday person with a mundane job and family lived in conceivable bliss.  We are now told that everything we learned from the beginning of our lives and was a civil staple of our families’ lives is wrong.  We walk wrong. We talk wrong.  We eat wrong.  We live wrong.

It is time that this social experiment is stopped. It is time that one person’s vote is real.  Not to have one person pull a lever at a designed time and have ten thousand votes from the grave for one candidate or another, when the total live populace for the town at the time is eight thousand.  It is time that the political elite to lose their power over the people that are supposed to elect them.  The will of the people is supposed to be used by the elected to guide our path, not the will of the elected.

There are many arguments that can be placed to go either one way or another. The one I hear the most is the one of candidates promising to ‘Give’ you something for your vote.  So, you give your vote and they win.  Tit for Tat right. Now you want you’re something.  Now the elected official says, “I can’t give you your something because (some excuse about the opposing party, movement, or prior agreement I made.)…” “But please continue to support me as I do what you wish for.”

 

I believe that everyday people have seen that all elections are rigged in some way and we have been just following like sheep. I don’t care if it is my truth, your truth, or the real truth, it is time to find a leader that will not give you what you want but will lead you in what you need.
