Paul Craig Roberts<\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n

Do Americans have a memory? I sometimes wonder.<\/p>\n

It is an obvious fact that the oligarchic One Percent have anointed Hillary, despite her myriad problems to be President of the US. There are reports that her staff are already moving into their White House offices. This much confidence before the vote does suggest that the skids have been greased.<\/p>\n

The current cause celebre against Trump is his conditional statement that he might not accept the election results if they appear to have been rigged. The presstitutes immediately jumped on him for discrediting American democracy\u201d and for breaking American tradition of accepting the people\u2019s will.\u201d<\/p>\n

What nonsense! Stolen elections are the American tradition. Elections are stolen at every level\u2014state, local, and federal. Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley\u2019s theft of the Chicago and, thereby, Illinois vote for John F. Kennedy is legendary. The Republican US Supreme Court\u2019s theft of the 2000 presidential election from Al Gore by preventing the Florida vote recount is another legendary example. The discrepancies between exit polls and the vote count of the secretly programmed electronic voting machines that have no paper trails are also legendary.<\/p>\n

So what\u2019s the big deal about Trump\u2019s suspicion of election rigging?<\/p>\n

The black civil rights movement has fought vote rigging for decades. The rigging takes place in a number of ways. Blacks simply can\u2019t get registered to vote. If they do get registered, there are few polling places in their districts. And so on. After decades of struggle it is impossible that there are any blacks who are not aware of how hard it can be for them to vote. Yet, I heard on the presstitute radio network, NPR, Hillary\u2019s Uncle Toms saying how awful it was that Trump had cast aspersion on the credibility of American election results.<\/p>\n

I also heard a NPR announcer suggest that Russia had not only hacked Hillary\u2019s emails, but also had altered them in order to make incriminating documents out of harmless emails.<\/p>\n

The presstitutes have gone all out to demonize both Trump and any mention of election rigging, because they know for a fact that the election will be stolen and that they will have the job of covering up the theft.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t believe the polls that say Hillary won the Q&A sessions or the polls that say Hillary is ahead in the election. Pollsters work for political organizations. If pollsters produce unwelcome results, they don\u2019t have any customers. The desired results are that Hillary wins.
\nThe purpose of the rigged polls showing her to be ahead is to discourage Trump supporters from voting.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t vote early. The purpose of early voting is to show the One Percent how the vote is shaping up. From this information, the oligarchs learn how to program the electronic machines in order to elect the candidate that they want.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
