Electronic Election Problems in Quebec

Following the US from one disaster to the next :

The election was an expensive disaster marked by errors, which produced inaccurate numbers and unreliable results, the report said. And the new electronic system is to blame, it adds.

I guess seeing every election in the US that used electronic voting machines become complete messes wasn't enough to keep Montreal from going the electronic route!! Smart move jackasses!!

But here's the real kicker :

But it's too late to question the results, Blanchet concludes.

This is according to Quebec's chief electoral officer, Marcel Blanchet.

Are you kidding me? You tell us that the results are not reliable, but not to question them because it's too late?

It's never too late to assure the voters that their votes were counted properly - this is a democracy after all! Without voter confidence the word 'democracy' means absolutely nothing!

Of course, I don't personally think too many folks in positions of power are very concerned with true democracy anyhow...

For the Things We Do....We Blame YOU!!

What is with the Americans? Are they completely insane and think their outrageous lies and distortions don't get noticed, or is it that they know they can get away with it due to a lapdog western press?

Here we have the invading and occupying American army and one of their Iraqi puppets blaming Iran and Syria for the violence in Iraq!

To put this as plain as possible.... America invaded a stable Iraq and overthrew the stabilizing government, but it is Iran and Syria's fault that Iraq is now unstable.

Huh? Pass me your pipe man!

...and...

I wonder if the time line being reported here starts and ends with an American withdrawal? It is obvious to most able-minded people that most of the violence is due to the illegal US occupation.

Personally, I'm not sure why most people are unable to look at the actions and ignore the propaganda, but I think it has something to do with underlying and unrecognized racism, and the need to believe that 'we' are not capable of the things we blame 'them' of doing - which of course is also a form of racism.

Canada's Politicians Kneel Down to Zionist Israel

Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper proved yet again yesterday that he is a reactionary, and very clearly showed his (likely religious-based) bias and blind support for Israel in the face of the reality and history of the Middle East tensions.

Harper said he disagreed with a statement made by Liberal leadership hopeful Michael Ignatieff while on a french language radio show. Ignatieff had the audacity to declare that Israel's bombing of Qana "was a war crime", and that he "should have said that" in the summer rather than actually saying that he was "not losing sleep" over civilian deaths during the Israeli Defense (yeah right!) Forces attack on Qana, Lebanon.

Harper went a few steps further however, stating that he "think[s] that this is consistent with the anti-Israeli position that has been taken by virtually all of the candidates for the Liberal leadership", and that it's not "helpful or useful". I guess Harper didn't see this.

You've got one thing right there George W. Harper, criticizing Israel certainly isn't 'helpful or useful', being that you have already stated that your policy - and now Canadian government policy - is to ignore the reality that is American backed Israeli state terror.

Mr. Harper and the rest of the Canadian Neocons from the religious right who hijacked the Conservative Party of Canada are following U.S. policy in siding with Israeli war crimes over the justice desired by most of the world, and certainly by international law. In their black and white worldview, since the Liberals don't seem to be vociferously approving Israels every action - they must be anti-Israel.

G.W. Harper's assertion that anti-Israeli bias is an issue with the Liberals is completely baseless and without fact, unless we disagree that Canadian politicians should put Canada first, and international law second. He is framing it so that the only way Liberals wouldn't be anti-Israeli would be to support Israel even if they break international law.

This is a classic tactic of the pro-Zionists in the U.S. If you choose to side with international law and right over wrong, rather than Israel - regardless of their actions - you're labelled anti-Israeli, or more commonly - anti-Semitic.

It is intentionally divisive, and designed to break the discussion down to either 'you support Israel no matter what they do' or you are 'anti-Israeli'. It intentionally doesn't leave any room for you to say that you support Israel's right to exist securely, however even they can commit violations of international law, and you are against that.

As I right this, Ignatieff is on TV stating that Hezbollah is a terror organization, while Israel is a democratically elected government; that he and Canada stands 'shoulder to shoulder' with Israel; blah blah blah we love Israel crap. Never mind that Hezbollah is actually a movement dedicated to resisting Israeli occupation of Arab lands (South Lebanon 1978-2000, Palestine 1922-present and Syria's Golan Heights 1981-present), or that Israel is not a true democracy and has at least 65 United Nations resolutions against them since 1955.

With the way support for Israel is becoming an issue that politicians feel they have to make overly clear to the public, I almost feel as if I woke up in the U.S. I really hoped overt bowing to Israel wouldn't make it's way into our political discourse, however it seems we Canadians are not so lucky.

US/UK Bigger Mass Murderers Than Saddam Ever Dreamt Of Being

A new study to be published in the The Lancet this Thursday will link approximately 655,000 deaths in Iraq to the illegal US/UK invasion and occupation. The study is a follow up to the one published October 29th, 2004 in the The Lancet which conservatively estimated Iraqi deaths directly linked to the US-lead war at 100,000.

To those who support the illegal war on Iraq, obviously these figures cannot possibly be correct. After all - they have their own sources. Oh wait - the US refused to acknowledge the deaths directly attributable to them by refusing to keep statistics on any casualties other than their own soldiers.

This new figure is equivalent to 2.5% of Iraq's population. To make this clearer to those in the West, this would be 7,500,000 Americans killed due to an illegal invasion of their country. In Canada - 800,000, the UK - 1,515,000.

Yup, America has proven once again that it is number 1 - in causing death and destruction on a massive scale.

It makes me want to believe the old saying 'what goes around comes around', but I wouldn't wish this kind of hell on anyone.
