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.

Fight against Damascus and Tehran a threat to Russian and Chinese interests
Not the entire world is wishing for a different Iran, although it does seem like that at times. Superpowers China and Russia are charting their own course, and in spite of their modern relationships with the West, there are still a lot of differences.

Preparations for a war against Iran in full gear
News reports on Iran are now following each other in rapid succession, and together they form a new step towards a military conflict. [...] What follows is an analysis of these fast-moving developments

NATO and CIA covertly arming Syrian rebels in order to weaken Iran
It is clear that all the pieces are being put into place for a war against Iran. It is a long-term project demanding many years worth of preparation, and the ultimate goal is getting closer all the time. One component of this preparation is the covert arming of Syrian rebels.

Israel and the U.S.: Iran not working on a nuclear weapon
While the world is getting the impression that a war with Iran has drawn a few steps closer, representatives of Israel and the U.S. are making some remarkable statements about the Islamic Republic. These statements are remarkable in part because, at the same time, the build-up to a military confrontation would seem to be continuing apace.

Economist Albert Spits: the euro is gone by the summer of 2012
De Wit: No, but it’s going to cost an awful lot of money to reprint all of those currencies and make the switch.
Spits: Sure, but it’s going to cost a lot more money to try and save the euro, which cannot be saved.
