American Blackout chronicles the recurring patterns of black voters being deliberately and systematically excluded (disenfranchised) from voting. This was witnessed in the elections from 2000 to 2004 while following the story of Georgia Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, who took an active role in investigating these election debacles, these debacles of democracy. American Blackout goes through Florida, Georgia, and Ohio examining the tactics used to control the vote and silence political dissent. Cynthia was demonized in the media after investigating this.

There is no such thing as a fair election, anymore. The fact is: in elections irregularities and new scandals are reported every day. GOP officials are deliberately using the law to keep black people off the rolls and hinder them from voting. And to exclude black voters is racism and fascism pure and simple. Since we are nearing November elections in in this country, this article is timely and fitting.

“…a muckracking indictment of … the systematic disenfranchisement of African American voters…” ~ Kenneth Turan, LA Times

The New York Times: Anger and Irregularities at the Voting Booth
“As we listen to voters complain about roadblocks and false felony records, and watch the endless lines of black voters standing patiently in the rain in Ohio, it’s impossible to ignore the gravity of the film’s claims.” “Ian Inaba assembles compelling evidence to support his claim that African-Americans — who are traditionally more likely to vote Democratic — are being deliberately and systematically excluded from the political process.”

This is only the beginning of how the election was stolen. So much vote rigging went on in just the Bush presidential elections, it’s almost impossible to chronicle it all. For instance, in Ohio workers were convicted of rigging the 2004 election.

And people in 2004 said that DIEBOLD machines ( black box voting ) were changing in front of their eyes. With no paper trail how can you document that?

Why I don’t Vote

Notable quotes on vote scamming

“I don’t want to get caught up in this thing!” — Joyce Dieffenderfer, former president of the League of Women Voters, after admitting the TV networks lied about hiring the League on election night.

“You’ll never prove it, now get out!” — Elton Davis, TV network computer programmer responsible for magically “projecting” 100% accurate vote results.

“This may be the biggest vote fraud scandal ever to rock the nation!” — Mike Wallace of “60 Minutes” upon reviewing the Votescam evidence. However, after meeting with his higher-up’s, Mr. Wallace dropped the issue like a vial of Anthrax.

“When you’re dealing with the networks, gentleman, you’re dealing with a shadow government.” — ABC Supreme Court correspondent, Tim O’Brien, explaining why the station refused to run video taped evidence of vote fraud.

This is America, not some third world country. What is this world coming to, when it takes foreign monitors to ensure a fair election in the U.S.A.? It really makes me wonder. We are supposed to have the greatest democracy on earth, but not anymore. America has lost confidence in the voting process. There is no such thing as a fair election, anymore. The fact is: in elections irregularities and new scandals are reported every day. The republicans are responsible for turning the election process into a joke. Is it any wonder that we need international monitors to protect us from tyranny?

invisible manThe military is conquering technology using man-made materials including cameras, lenses, and projectors among other things like full-spectrum invisibility coatings for soldiers, tanks and airplanes to bend light around objects and make them appear invisible on the battlefield.

With a proficiency in technology that is downright scary the army in cahoots with the pentagon is creating meta-materials that would create invisible soldiers. They have found a way to “cloak” them so to speak.

“This so-called “super-lens” is already in development by Purdue University…” Army Eyes Invisibility Cloak

And it’s not just our military involved in these shenanigans monkeying around with invisibility. Britain is also testing invisibility apparatuses.

invisible tank

A soldier, who was at the trials, said:

“This technology is incredible. If I hadn’t been present I wouldn’t have believed it. I looked across the fields and just saw grass and trees - but in reality I was staring down the barrel of a tank gun.” Army tests James Bond style tank that is ‘invisible’

It’s like something out of an H. G. Wells novel, this kind of subterfuge, this insane scheme, that can only lead to evil machinations. Think of a deranged, psychotic invisible loony on the rampage. With Big Brother invisible this could only be the beginning of the end, Apocalypse Now.

Occupation 101: Voice of the Silenced Majority is a documentary on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, narrated by If Americans Knew founder Alison Weir. It piles up damning allegations against Israel, and the human rights abuses, the genocide, the Israelis are committing in Palestine and Gaza, detailing how horrid life is for the Palestinians under Israeli military rule. Why should you care? Because United States (American) tax dollars are paying the bill for the murder, the genocide, of the Palestinian people. Israel is “empowered by American tax money.” This implicates every American in the horrific crimes being perpetrated against the Palestinian people.

Occupation 101 questions the nature of Israeli-American relations, the Israeli military occupation of the West Bank and Gaza, and whether Americans should help pay for it. It includes interviews with mostly American and Israeli scholars, religious leaders, humanitarian workers, and NGO’s critical of the injustices, the human rights abuses that stem from Israeli policy in the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Gaza Strip.

Occupation 101 is a thought-provoking and powerful documentary film on the current and historical root causes of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and the role of the United States in the conflict, and the major obstacles that stand in the way of a lasting and viable peace. The roots of the conflict are explained through first-hand on-the-ground experiences from leading Middle East scholars, historians, peace activists, journalists, religious leaders and humanitarian workers whose voices have too often been suppressed in American media outlets. Unlike any other film ever produced on the Israeli battle against the Palestinians, Occupation 101 presents a comprehensive analysis of the facts and hidden truths surrounding the never ending controversy and dispels many of its long-perceived myths and misconceptions. It explains the reality of the situation that is silenced in the mainstream media.”

Alison Weir - If Americans Knew

“Alison Weir (the narrator) is the founder of If Americans Knew. She was a journalist off and on for many years. As a freelance journalist, Weir went on an independent investigation to the flash points in the West Bank and Gaza rarely visited by American journalists. Since returning she has spoken on Capitol Hill, to business leaders, at prestigious Washington D.C. think tanks, and at a multitude of universities.”

Former Congressman Tom Campbell said of Weir:

“Ms. Weir presents a powerful, well documented view of the Middle East today. She is intelligent, careful, and critical. American policy makers would benefit greatly from hearing her first-hand observations and attempting to answer the questions she poses.”

The film won several awards from film festivals.

* Winner of the “Golden Palm” Award (highest honor given by jury) and for “Best Editing” at the 2007 International Beverly Hills Film Festival.
* Winner of the ‘Artivist Award’ for Best Feature Film under the category of Human Rights at the 2006 Artivist Film Festival in Hollywood.
* Winner of the Best Documentary Award (Special Recognition) at the 2007 New Orleans International Human Rights Film Festival.
* Winner of the Best Feature Film Award at the 2006 River’s Edge Film Festival.
* Winner of the Best Documentary Feature Award at 2006 The Dead Center Film Festival.
* Winner of the Audience Award for Best Documentary at 2006 East Lansing Film Festival.
* Winner of the John Michaels Memorial Award at the 2006 Big Muddy Film Festival.
