CIA-owned Voting Machines Ensure Bush Victory in 2004

 

Chris Floyd/Moscow Times

 

It's a shell game, with money, companies and corporate brands switching in a

blur of buyouts and bogus fronts. It's a sinkhole, where mobbed-up

operators, paid-off public servants, crazed Christian fascists, CIA

shadow-jobbers, war-pimping arms dealers -- and presidential family

members -- lie down together in the slime. It's a hacker's dream, with

pork-funded, half-finished, secretly programmed computer systems installed

without basic security standards by politically partisan private firms, and

protected by law from public scrutiny. It's how the United States, the

" world's greatest democracy, " casts its votes. And it's why George W. Bush

will almost certainly be the next president of the United States -- no

matter what the people of the United States might want.

 

The American vote-count is controlled by three major corporate players --

Diebold, ES & S, and Sequoia -- with a fourth, Science Applications

International Corporation, coming on strong. These companies -- all of them

hardwired into the Bushist Party power grid -- have been given billions of

dollars by the Bush Regime to complete a sweeping computerization of voting

machines nationwide by the 2004 election. These glitch-riddled systems --

many using " touch-screen " technology that leaves no paper trail at all --

are almost laughably open to manipulation, according to corporate

whistleblowers and computer scientists at Stanford, Johns Hopkins and other

universities.

 

The technology had a trial run in the 2002 midterm elections. In Georgia,

serviced by new Diebold systems, a popular Democratic governor and senator

were both unseated in what the media called " amazing " upsets, with results

showing vote swings of up to 16 percent from the last pre-ballot polls. In

computerized Minnesota, former Vice President Walter Mondale -- a

replacement for popular incumbent Paul Wellstone, who died days before the

vote -- was also defeated in a large last-second vote swing. Convenient

" glitches " in Florida saw an untold number of votes intended for the

Democratic candidate registering instead for Governor Jeb " L'il Brother "

Bush. A Florida Democrat who lost a similarly " glitched " local election went

to court to have the computers examined -- but the case was thrown out by a

judge who ruled that the innards of America's voting machines are the " trade

secrets " of the private companies who make them.

 

Who's behind these private companies? It's hard to tell: The corporate

lines -- even the bloodlines -- of these " competitors " are so intricately

mixed. For example, at Diebold -- whose corporate chief, Wally O'Dell, a top

Bush fundraiser, has publicly committed himself to " delivering " his home

state's votes to Bush next year -- the election division is run by Bob

Urosevich. Bob's brother, is a top executive at " rival " ES & S. The

brothers were originally staked in the vote-count business by Howard

Ahmanson, a member of the Council for National Policy, a right-wing

" steering group " stacked with Bushist faithful.

 

Ahmanson is also one of the bagmen behind the extremist " Christian

Reconstructionist " movement, which openly advocates a theocratic takeover of

American democracy, placing the entire society under the " dominion " of

" Christ the King. " This " dominion " includes the death penalty for

homosexuals, exclusion of citizenship for non-Christians, stoning of sinners

and -- we kid you not -- slavery, " one of the most beneficent of Biblical

laws. "

 

Ahmanson also has major holdings in ES & S, whose former CEO is Republican

Senator Chuck Hagel of Nebraska. When Hagel ran for office, his own company

counted the votes; needless to say, his initial victory was reported as " an

amazing upset. " Hagel still has a million-dollar stake in the parent company

of ES & S. In Florida, Jeb Bush's first choice for a running mate in his 1998

gubernatorial race was ES & S lobbyist Sandra Mortham, who made a mint

installing the machines that counted Jeb's votes.

 

Sequoia also has a colorful history, most recently in Louisiana, where it

was the center of a massive corruption case that sent top state officials to

jail for bribery, most of it funneled through Mob-connected front firms.

Sequoia executives were also indicted, but escaped trial after giving

immunized testimony against state officials. The British-owned company's

corporate parent is private equity firm Madison Dearborn -- a partner of the

Carlyle Group, where George Bush I makes millions trolling the world for war

pork, privatizations and sweetheart deals with government insiders.

 

Meanwhile, the shadowy defense contractor SAIC has jumped into the

vote-counting game, both directly and through spinoffs by its top brass,

including Admiral Bill Owens, former military aide to Dick Cheney and

Carlyle honcho Frank Carlucci, and ex-CIA chief Robert Gates. SAIC's history

of fraud charges and security lapses in its electronic systems hasn't

prevented it from becoming one of the largest Pentagon and CIA

contractors -- and will doubtless pose little obstacle to its entrance into

election engineering.

 

The mad rush to install unverifiable computer voting is driven by the Help

America Vote Act, signed by Bush last year. The chief lobbying group pushing

for the act was a consortium of arms dealers -- those disinterested

corporate citizens -- including Northop-Grumman and Lockheed-Martin. The

bill also mandates that all states adopt the computerized " ineligible voter

purge " system that Jeb used to eliminate 91,000 eligible black voters from

the Florida rolls in 2000. The Republican-run private company that

accomplished this electoral miracle, ChoicePoint, is bagging the lion's

share of the new Bush-ordered purge contracts.

 

The unelected Bush Regime now controls the government, the military, the

judiciary -- and the machinery of democracy itself. Absent some unlikely

great awakening by the co-opted dullards of the corporate media, next

November the last shreds of a genuine American republic will disappear -- at

the push of a button.
