Vote Counter Fraud in Scotland

Statists love to speak of democracy, the power being in the hands of "the People", and how "We the People" are the government.  They cite the power of voting as the means to secure a peaceful, fair, equitable, and righteous government.  Many of them like former Minnesota governor, Jesse Ventura believe that the election is something so sacred that it should be a national holiday (Holy Day).  

But we need to remember that elections are run by the state, so they will always favor the state.  The taxpayer pays for elections, and the government is the only one who benefits.  

We are told repeatedly, that voting is the very foundation of our civilization and that democracy is the fabric of peaceful  governance.  If that's the case why are state-employed election workers always working to subvert that process?  

They will try to spin these as "isolated incidences" that are too small to have affected the outcome of the election.  The truth is that this the way it has always been.  What has changed is the fact that video cameras have become ubiquitous along with the ability to live-stream video feeds.  Thanks to this, we are watching more of the process than ever before and thus seeing and exposing the corruption that used to remain hidden.

Texas Railroad Commissioner Barry Smitherman -- a candidate for Attorney General -- says his state is actively preparing to operate as an independent nation if the United States "falls apart," The Blaze reported Saturday.

“Generally speaking, we have made great progress in becoming an independent nation, an ‘island nation’ if you will, and I think we want to continue down that path so that if the rest of the country falls apart, Texas can operate as a stand-alone entity with energy, food, water and roads as if we were a closed-loop system,” he told WND.

Smitherman also said Texas is “uniquely situated because we have energy resources, fossil and otherwise, and our own independent electrical grid.”

“This was one of my goals at the Utility Commission and it is one my goals currently as chairman of the Railroad Commission,” he added. “That’s why I stress so vehemently oil and gas production, permitting turnaround times, and everything that enables the industry to produce as much as it can, as quickly as it can.”

He also told WND that Texas has “been very strong leading in the charge against the Obama administration.”

WND's John Griffing said a lot of officials address these kind of issues, but not the same way Smitherman does.

“One of the things I’ve focused on in the last 10 years of my public sector life is preparing Texas to be a prosperous and safe place to work, regardless of what happens outside our borders,” he said.

While Smitherman is being called a secessionist by liberals and detractors, it is important to note that he never used the word in the WND interview, nor does he appear to advocate secession as a matter of state policy -- only as one possibility in the event of an apocalyptic national catastrophe.

An article at Think Progress called WND a "right-wing birther hub" and reminded readers of the last time Texas seceded from the Union. Predictably, liberals crawled out of the woodwork to express their hatred of Texas and all things conservative.

"The thought of the U.S. without Texas is truly exhilarating," one person said.

"Good. If Texas secedes, the nation will be better and Texas can enjoy its sand and heat until the next hurricane hits the gulf, or the next firestorm, or the next tornado -- no help will be available. No federal money going to the state in subsidies. And best of all, we would be spared the likes of all-hat, no-cattle politicians like Perry, Cruz, Gohnmert, Paul, et.al," another person added.

California County votes to secede from California

California county votes to secede from state

The Siskiyou County Board of Supervisors voted 4-1 on Tuesday for a declaration of secession from the state of California.

These are uncivil times in Northern California.

The Siskiyou County Board of Supervisors voted 4-1 on Tuesday in favor of a declaration of secession from the state.

Citing a lack of representation in the California legislature, as well as new annual fees for fire service to the county’s remote, rural areas, the board passed the declaration in front of approximately 100 residents, most of whom voiced support for the measure.

"I haven't had one contact in regard to this issue that's in opposition," Supervisor Michael Kobseff told the Redding Record Searchlight.

Many in attendance also said they planned to try and drum up support in neighboring counties in Northern California and Southern Oregon to form a new state called Jefferson.

In Humboldt County, Supervisor Rex Bohn, seems to be on board with the secession plan.

Many residents in rural Northern California want to form a new state called Jefferson with surrounding counties. 

"I was one of the people who thinks the state of Jefferson wasn't a bad idea," Bohn told the Record Searchlight. "There has been a total lack of respect of our water rights and the fire fee. Those things may not be important to the rest of the state, but it's important to us."

The idea for the formation of a new state called Jefferson stems back to the 1940s, when local residents pressed the California legislature to improve the local roads in the remote northern regions of the state.

The area is also decidedly more conservative than much of the state.

"Many proposed laws are unconstitutional and deny us our God-given rights," Gabe Garrison of Happy Camp said at the meeting. "We need our own state so we can make laws that fit our way of life."

Supervisor Ed Valenzuela, the lone supervisor to vote against secession, said he could not support the measure because he had taken a vow to uphold the state constitution.

"I signed on to work within the system I know," he said. "I don't like it, I don't agree with it all the time, but ... I did sign up for that and I will continue to do so."

For now, the board of supervisor’s vote is unlikely to have much actual bearing on California’s future because the move to secede would need to be passed by the state legislature and by Congress.
