Santorum Probably Won Iowa Caucus

This will become one of those footnotes in history, but it's very bothersome considering that it involves the election of a president. It now looks like Rick Santorum and not Mitt Romney won the Iowa caucus. After all the votes were tabulated on election night earlier this month, we were told Romney had pulled off a win over Santorum by about 9 votes. If you were paying close attention at the time, there were indications that tabulating errors were made and that Santorum was the true winner. Nonetheless, Romney has been going about his campaign as the declared winner. New results actually show Santorum the winner by 34 votes. Yet election officials say it can't be certainly declared that he actually won because the vote results from  four eight precincts have turned up missing. It only goes to show that the reliability of elections in this country has improved little, if any, since the 2000 presidential race between Al Gore and George W. Bush that was decided by only a few hundred votes in the state of Florida after the Supreme Court essentially declared the system state officials were using to recount the votes cast on election day so badly flawed that the certified result showing Bush the winner should stand.

Santorum's apparent win in Iowa is an inconvenient fact for the state-run media to absorb. The corporate media giants have already anointed Romney as the GOP candidate to be the fall guy and deliberately throw the 2012 presidential election to Barack Obama, who was never constitutionally eligible to hold the office since he is not a natural born citizen, a convenient fact overlooked by the media and made possible by the abdication by members of the Supreme Court and Congress of their oath to uphold the U.S. Constitution. By the time this election is over, The One should have solidified his control to the point of declaring the constitution null and void and permanently replaced with his new monarchy and sending members of Congress and the Supreme Court away on a permanent vacation compliments of the citizens subjects of King Barack.

In case you missed it, a foreign company will now control the tabulation of votes cast in U.S. elections.

In a major step towards global centralization of election processes, the world's dominant Internet voting company has purchased the USA's dominant election results reporting company.

When you view your local or state election results on the Internet, on portals which often appear to be owned by the county elections division, in over 525 US jurisdictions you are actually redirected to a private corporate site controlled by SOE software, which operates under the name ClarityElections.com.

The good news is that this firm promptly reports precinct-level detail in downloadable spreadsheet format. As reported by BlackBoxVoting.org in 2008, the bad news is that this centralizes one middleman access point for over 525 jurisdictions in AL, AZ, CA, CO, DC, FL, KY, MI, KS, IL, IN, NC, NM, MN, NY, SC, TX, UT, WA. And growing.

As local election results funnel through SOE's servers (typically before they reach the public elsewhere), those who run the computer servers for SOE essentially get "first look" at results and the ability to immediately and privately examine vote details throughout the USA.

In 2004, many Americans were justifiably concerned when, days before the presidential election, Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell redirected Ohio election night results through the Tennessee-based server for several national Republican Party operations.

This is worse: This redirects results reporting to a centralized privately held server which is not just for Ohio, but national; not just USA-based, but global. A mitigation against fraud by SOE insiders has been the separation of voting machine systems from the SOE results reports. Because most US jurisdictions require posting evidence of results from each voting machine at the precinct, public citizens can organize to examine these results to compare with SOE results. Black Box Voting spearheaded a national citizen action to videotape / photograph these poll tapes in 2008.

With the merger of SOE and SCYTL, that won't work (if SCYTL's voting system is used). When there are two truly independent sources of information, the public can perform its own "audit" by matching one number against the other.

These two independent sources, however, will now be merged into one single source: an Internet voting system controlled by SCYTL, with a results reporting system also controlled by SCYTL.

With SCYTL internet voting, there will be no ballots. No physical evidence. No chain of custody. No way for the public to authenticate who actually cast the votes, chain of custody, or the count.

SCYTL is moving into or already running elections in: the United Kingdom, France, Canada, Norway, Switzerland, United Arab Emirates, South Africa, India and Australia.

SCYTL is based in Barcelona; its funding comes from international venture capital funds including Nauta Capital, Balderton Capital and Spinnaker.
Yep, the Republic is dead. Learn to accept the New World Order.
