Diebold to Pay $2.6M Due to Insecure Voting Machines

sunilk writes "In a short period, Diebold has been at the center of several problems. Now it seeks to settle the lawsuit filed against it by the State of California by paying $2.6 million. Settlement comes because of flaws in the Diebold systems that could compromise election results."

Here's the way I see it.

Harvard does a study about cost of cell phones in regards to cell phones and lost lives saying that business of $46 billion is more important than losing 2600 people to cell phone related car accidents. Thus, the value of a human life is around $17,692,307

Diebold faulty voting machines -> Bush gets relected -> War in Iraq Continues -> 10,000 - 100,000 innocent people die.

Diebold should have to pay a lot more than 2.6 million. In my estimate, they should be paying around 1.7 trillion.

Diebold bought the election for Bush. Here's a funny comic on the matter: http://www.bushspeaks.com/img/rove-poses-for-diebo ld-ad.jpg

So can we use this quote to demonstrate "adhering to their Enemies"?

"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we." -- George W. Bush

disagree strongly

The so called "elected government", this regime so far.

Starting a war based on completely false public utterances by public officials,utterances claimed as 100% fact at the time of congressional "authorisation" for war, but proven a total lie, thereby killing Americans unlawfully. Having insider knowledge of a "terrorist attack" going down on US soil and keeping that knowledge hidden,allowing the attack to continue, also ordering lesser ranking officials to help in the coverup, and generally obfuscating a lot of the facts of the case. Treason, malfeasance in office, murder, accessory to murder, theft of government services, accessory to theft of government services, willful destruction of public property, and etc, a large potential list that is being ignored mainly

Diebold, who's owner is on record as having stated he would "deliver" the Ohio vote, and other known researchable anecdotals about his company and techs, including the revelations from the california case and what is starting to be squeezed out in Ohio slowly but surely

Helping to maintain these same exact above treasonus and so called "elected" officials in "power" by conspiring to hack the elections in various areas both in advance and during and after the fact of public voting through insecure by design, not by accident but by design, electronic voting machines, and attempting to keep that hacking hidden from the public and official oversight and regulatory bodies, and coordinating that through an entrenched political party's high level officials

treason, accessory, malfeasance, accessory to murder, theft of government services, destruction of government property with destroyed or altered vote records, and etc,and quite a few more

You minimise and ignore and over-trivialise quite a lot of the publically available evidence that has been uncovered so far. A small fine is an obvious payoff and a continuance of this massive junta hijacking and political takeover and coverup

There's way, WAY more than enough for several different grand jury investigations to go forward, yet none are, because the junta will not "investigate" itself willingly or adequately,(please, the 9-11 commission was a big fat joke) nor will it tolerate lesser political office efforts, they can be coerced and co-opted by higher level authority who have shown zero compunction about using massive ultra violence to get their way on any issue. None. There's your reason for this. They kill people daily, have killed in the past, will continue to kill in the future, and that is why so many people who might be so inclined are afraid to go forward with these various cases, it's a pretty severe actual bona fide physical risk, even if you might be a lower level official who's job it might be to investigate such matters throughly. People aren't stupid when it comes to such matters. Much easier to announce a small joke fine and say "case closed, nothing to see here, move along now".
