Bush's "victory" strongly contested in Ohio. Don't give up!

      This is not the time to fall into a state of depressed resignation over Bush’s supposed victory. Although the mainstream media has continued for almost two months now to foster a belief in the inevitability of renewed Republican rule for another four years, the chips aren’t all in yet. The corporate media is struggling mightily to hide them.

      Representative John Conyers of Michigan and his Democratic colleagues on the House Committee on the Judiciary have held meetings in Washington DC and in Columbus OH revealing the presence of massive fraud in Ohio. The website http://truthout.com/ has substantial coverage, but in the so-called mainstream these revelations are . . . . . . either totally ignored, or inadequately reported, effectively scoffed at as being not newsworthy.

    Besides burying the Conyers-led investigations by the Democratic Congressional Representatives on ‘his’ committee, the mainstream is trying to ignore the Dec 17 petition to the Ohio Supreme Court, which is asked to rule the Ohio vote a victory for the Democrats. This major legal effort, well worth downloading and reading (it’s a 1.2 megabyte pdf file), makes a very strong case for massive fraud, and concludes:

95. The number of votes listed above which were deducted from those cast for the Kerry-Edwards ticket and then added to those actually cast for the Bush-Cheney ticket is at least 130,656 votes. In the Certified Results, Defendents-Contestees Bush and Cheney (as a ticket) received 118,775 more votes than candidates Kerry and Edwards (as a ticket). After correcting for the at least 130,613 [should be 130,656 - G.S.] votes improperly and unlawfully deducted from those actually cast for the Kerry-Edwards ticket and the at least 130, 613 [same error - G.S.] votes improperly and unlawfully added to those actually cast for the Bush-Cheney ticket, the true result was that the Kerry-Edwards ticket won Ohio by at least 142,537 votes. Accordingly, contestors seek an order directing the Secretary of State to: [and so on - G.S.]

      The above is part of an article I posted yesterday, with much more information and several valuable links. It is at

      The bottom line is that we all are at least partially brainwashed by the hard fact that the so-called mainstream media largely determines the field of discourse. If enough of us accept as a given that Bush actually won and will have four more years (the corporate media mantra), his continued tenancy will become a fact. And the entire world will pay the price.
