Wetenschappelijke analyse over verkiezingen VS:
Stemuitslag mogelijk gemanipuleerd
Door Daan de Wit
Wetenschappelijke analyse toont een statistisch onverklaarbaar groot gat tussen de uitslag van de Amerikaanse presidentsverkiezingen en de exit polls. 'Scientific Analysis Suggests Presidential Vote Counts May Have Been Altered',
kopt US Counts Votes concluderend naar aanleiding van het rapport (PDF) "Analysis of the 2004 Presidential Election Poll Discrepancies". Het rapport is geschreven door het National Election Data Archive Project, bestaand uit een groot aantal deskundige professoren.

Exit polls staan in de meeste gevallen bekend om hun acuratesse en worden daarom ook gebruikt om de waarde van de uitslagen aan te geven. 'Exit polls have been used to verify the integrity of elections in the Ukraine, in Latin America, in Germany, and elsewhere. Yet in November 2004, the U.S. exit poll discrepancy was much more than normal exit poll error (and similar to that of the invalid Ukraine election). In de VS bedroeg het verschil tussen de 5.5% en de 6.5%. 'Either something was wrong with the exit polling, or something was wrong with the vote count'. Het houden van exit polls is een bijna-wetenschap, stemmen bepaald niet: er zijn ruim 28.000 problemen genoteerd bij de afgelopen Amerikaanse presidentsverkiezingen. Daarnaast kwamen er op een telefoonnummer nog ruim 400.000 meldingen (PDF) binnen.

Onmogelijk stemverschil pakt altijd goed uit voor Bush
Tijdschrift Vanity Fair spreekt in februari met een anonieme insider van een stemmachinefabrikant: 'I asked her, finally, what would be the logical grounds for deducing that any tampering had in fact occurred. "Well, I understand from what I have read," she said, "that the early exit polls on the day were believed by both parties." That, I was able to tell her from direct experience, was indeed true. But it wasn't quite enough, either. So I asked, "What if all the anomalies and malfunctions, to give them a neutral name, were distributed along one axis of consistency: in other words, that they kept on disadvantaging only one candidate?" My question was hypothetical, as she had made no particular study of Ohio, but she replied at once: "Then that would be quite serious."'

Bush president, maar: Uitslag stemming is onbetrouwbaar
Universiteitsdocent Ron Baiman schreef eind vorig jaar al een analyse (PDF) op basis van exit poll data. 'I conclude that, based on the best exit sample data currently available, neither the national popular vote, or many of the certified state election results, are credible and should not be regarded as a true reflection of the intent of national electorate, or of many state voters [...]'. Hij berekende op allerlei manieren de meest grote onwaarschijnlijkheden dat de uitslag zoals bekend de goede zou zijn.
Het hele verhaal is als mosterd na de maaltijd. Het maakt niet meer uit en het heeft geen zin je er druk om te maken. Noam Chomsky schreef vorige maand: 'Why don't people care if the election is stolen? The reason is that they don't take the election seriously in the first place'. Toch blijft DeepJournal rapporteren over dit probleem teneinde bij te dragen aan het voorkomen ervan.

CIA Seeks to Influence Opinion on Wars - 3
The first group of people to be targeted in a military conflict is the public. They are the first victims, for in a military conflict war is only one stage of the battle. The biggest battle is for the hearts and minds of the public at large.

CIA Seeks to Influence Opinion on Wars - 2
The CIA Red Cell recommendations for influencing the European public into continuing their support for the mission in Afghanistan was quite remarkable. But the reality is that the contents of the document prove the rule, not the exception. From my book The Next War - The Attack on Iran - A Preview I took some excerpts that show that the CIA document is not quite unique

CIA Seeks to Influence Opinion on Wars - 1
What's special about the case of the document is not so much its content, but the fact that it is now available for all to see. In a military conflict, war is only one stage of the struggle. The biggest struggle is for the hearts and minds of the public at large.

Obama continues Bush's Iran policy - 3
'America's Pro-Israel Lobby', as AIPAC calls itself, holds the biggest conference in its history today, yesterday and the day before in Washington. 'This year, the lobby has built its annual conference, and its entire lobbying agenda around the issue of Iran', writes Haaretz. AIPAC is very influential, and Washington fears the long arm of the lobby. One of the resources it employs is the Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence (TFI).

Obama continues Bush's Iran policy - 2
The battle against Iran has already begun. War is only one phase of this process - just as it was with Iraq. The preparation is the most important part of the battle. Whoever thought that the preparation for war ended when Barack Obama took office is advised to take note of the views of critical thinker Noam Chomsky in the previous installment of this DeepJournal series. He says that Obama's policy on Iran is a continuation of the policy of his predecessor, President Bush. Anyone who cares to look at the facts will see that he is right.
