Where and When?

If you heard someone telling you a story where uniformed semi official "police" were taking over and deciding where polling places would be, where and when would you believe I was talking about? If I told you that these folks didn't allow qualified voters to vote where and when would you believe I was talking about? If I told you there was a independent investigation of these irregularities and at least nine more in an election and the same uniformed troops showed up and intimidated the folks who were to rule on the investigation where and when would you believe I was talking about? If I told you that when it came to appoint cabinet officers for this group that the people who had been elected through this seemingly flawed process, the general rules that had always been applied were violated and the violators voted themselves the privilege to change those rules? Where and when would you believe I was talking about?

Would it be:

Moscow in 1926?

Italy in 1927?

Spain in 1928?

Berlin 1933?

Yugoslavia 1945?

Peking 1946?

Nope none of those totalitarian governments.

Try Altadena, 2008. Amazingly enough the shock troops were organized by a local not for profit grant writer, Board member of the League of Women Voters (an organization with a proud history of corrupting Altadena elections) , and All Saints functionary. Go look at the tapes of the July and August 2008 Altadena Town Council meetings. The bylaws only mean in Altadena what the good old East Side White Boys say they mean, and they mean whatever those East Side White Boys need them to mean in the moment, even if they didn't mean that last year, last month, last week or ten minutes ago. The Fearless Leader of EngSoc in 1984 had nothing on these guys when it comes to revisionism. Orwell's novel only suffers from a lack of imagination.

Coming next will be votes on issues where those voting will no longer to bother not disclosing that they have been paid by developers, they will advertise their "donations" and go right ahead and vote while having conflicts of interest large enough to drive a battleship through.

When will the public stop it?
