  • Watch "National Security Alert" on YouTube. Hear what federal officers have to say at the Pentagon.

  • We haven't had a (moderatly) honest election since 1956. Both sides rig elections MASSIVELY. I don't trust either, because their both criminals.

  • Typo( Pat Rogers )

  • Its hilarious! Pat Robertson a "republicunt" bitching about election fraud?? Soooo hypocritical!

  • Okay look at the fucking aftermath of the elections. In 2000 and 2004, after the votes were counted, the country let out a collective groan. In 2008 we all ran into the streets screaming for joy.

    2000 and 2004: sad

    2008: party time

    Which elections were stolen?

  • The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism, but under the name of liberalism they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program until one day America will be a socialist nation without ever knowing how it happened. Norman Thomas, Presidential Candidate, American Socialist Party, 1940, 1944, and 1948.

  • Comment removed

  • Ok, my post made it this time. I was actually worried about being censored. It's happened before. Huffington Post doesn't like me at all.

    Anyway here was my first suspicion...

    Hook #1: The 2008 election was stolen? OMG!! By whom?? Obama??? Otherwise it wasn't "stolen" at all.

    Hook #2: ACORN was mentioned, but there is "no evidence..."? Come on.

    I'm also curious about the REST of that election official's comments. Obviously he said more than the mics captured....

  • Apparently my last post didn't post... In short: I have a few suspicions about this "report". First, is New Mexico state gov the source of voter rolls, or is it actually the county govs, as in NC and 5 other states that I've voted in? Did the lady ... noooo, say it aint so!! ... LIE about who "lost" her voter records? It begs the question. But that's just one of many that I have about this video and Palast in general. He always reminds me of Chomsky, altho Chomsky is a little more slick.

  • well, in 2012 its all game over... im going into spiritual mode... see you all on the other side.

    peace and love to all.

  • Both Republicans and Democrats are a part of registering illegals... UK citizens - the media play a bad role here too, we have 3rd parties but people allow the media to tell them that they have to vote democrat or republican

  • the jesuits own both parties;

  • you can put a slant on anything ;)

    both parties are full of scum bags

    RON PAUL 2012

  • McCain lost because Michael Connell couldn't steal it for him. Take a look: velvetrevolution "dot" us

  • clerks and civil servants need to stop doing what they are told to do by their boss, start doing what WE tell them to do, and begin doing the right thing again to help get us back on track.

  • the bottom line is that a lot of people did vote for bush and all of them or at the least most will vote for McCain

    this is moronic to the extreme

  • search: diebold voting machine flips votes

  • Why do these maggots think it's ok to kill i aqi kids by the thousand to protect oil and war profit..but won't pursue vote stealing maggots such as the republican lady in florida? And pursue them persistently and diligently until they are found... and then...to eliminate them by whatever means necessary..

    the real enemies of America are vote stealing republimaggots

  • ...the corporate war profiteers have also murdered more than 4100 of our own soldiers...discusting...

  • OBAMA/BIDEN 08!!!!!!!!!! They're not gonna still this one!

  • Republicans are EVIL!!!!!

  • "From my point of view the Jedi are EVIL."

    "Then you are lost!"

    (Plenty of non-republicans say Democrats/liberals are evil. Are we forgetting that the whole human race is evil, lost in sin?)

  • CHECK OUT MY NEW VIDEO THAT GIVES A TON OF INFORMATION ON THE YOUTUBE INSIGHT FEATURE!

    Its super detailed, and featured on my channel!

  • mickey mouse and donald duck do not vote. voter registration fraud is not the same as voting fraud. there has been a total of 24 cases of confirmed voting fraud EVER (over 1 century).

  • O'rly, Did you research that for your doctoral thesis or get that from a loony liberal blog?

    watch?v=ogzIIjgaBtg

    Opps, there goes your argument with that video. Sorry sorry, drink more kool-aide and try again.

  • There is a real problem with ACORN and massive voter fraud. The FBI is investigating. This video is mis-information. Its purpose is to confuse the issue and make it look like there is abuse on both sides. This video has no substance, just innuendo and smear tactics. The criminals who commit voter fraud should all be put away for a very long time.

  • I feel so sorry for this family. God bless you.

  • Palast might be trapped in a left/right paradigm, but that doesn't make his story one less bit true.

  • we haft to be weary of this

  • sarah palin terminated the twin towers,

    michael virgin, what an alien.

    commet commeth, the pro-ip act,

    telepathy stops starts in the brain.

  • Ok, BUT Detroit has had those abandoned since The Riots of 1967. The Brits don't know about that.

  • revolution! citizens need to pull it together and protect their neighbohoods from these robber barons - they need to stand up and fight - they are being picked off one by one.

    How much more will the american people take?

    ENOUGH!

  • I volunteered at the polls in a low income community for the primaries and this is very real

  • You should write your story and post it to as many places as you can think of, particularly national news outlets. Gets your fellow volunteers to speak up also. The U.S. and all its communities, down to the individual housing block, really does work this way.

  • During the last election, I received a letter from Kitsap County, WA, stating my vote for John Kerry was not included in the tally.

  • Greg Palast is hopelessly trapd in left right paradigm. And he thinks 911 truthers are insane.

  • this was a great video. thanks for posting!

  • Great investigation! But really who cares? Both are on the same stage, different platforms. Our media NEVER tells us there is 6 to choose from, and that is the disgrace in America.

  • i actually cannot believe that John McCain's penis would be that big, its huge!

  • are you surprised? I will write in Ron Paul and watch my ballot be thrown in the trash...because it will have the same meaning no matter who I vote for. This way, at least I will have voted for freedom, liberty, and the constitution.

  • I feel for the guy who lost his son and was struggling to keep out of foreclosure, but who would give somebody another mortgage right after he had previously been evicted due to another foreclosure?

  • Write in Hillary Clinton on Nov. 5th!!!

    :-)

  • Nah I'll vote for her in 2016.

  • How could republicans steal the 2000 election. Gore won the majority vote and lost the electoral vote.

  • GOOD POINT!

  • Because they didn't allow the counting of several thousand votes in certain parts of Florida, which was the deciding electoral vote

  • LOL! Americans!  LOL!

  • And both parties are blocking ALL other parties from having a chance.

  • Sure, some ACORN people registered fake names at fake addresses, but no one will get a voter card for that! So "purging the roles" is bullshit! The republicans will steal the election again! The real point is that republicans don't believe in democracy. They only think that rich white guys should decide everything!

  • Obama 08!Obama 08!Obama 08!Obama 08!

  • you are my freaking idol.

    OBAMA 08.

    yo.

  • no matter what side your on, left or right, this shit is wrong.

  • that is not true it is the reps that pressed for deregulation, thus allowing mortgage companies to go wild and give loans to anyone with a social security number

  • Very true. My brother had a part as a predatory secondary mortgage lender (refinancing was his specialty) who padded financial statements and sold bogus loans to bottom feeding independant stock brokers. They did the "slice and dice" and converted this crap into securities that the big investment firms bought. Now my evil brother is about to lose his business. NO TEARS FROM ME! I'm ashamed to be related to him, but he got what was coming to him.

  • The crimes are due to capitalism(=greed). Mortgage brokers/loan officers got bonuses from each loan they signed. They talked consumers into signing up for loans, knowing they could not afford the loans, except maybe for a few months. THey were willing to take that risk, thinking to make 20+% in a month or so. The loan docs showed completely incorrect income information; the payment schedule showed the loan principle growing. The consumer thought that was ok, ignored it, or couldn't read.

  • is that first guy high?

  • No, that first guy is Robert Kennedy Jr. He has a voice disorder.

  • I see yr point.

  • Some neo-cons spout that ACRON has done 5 million fraudlent registrations.

    1st of all ACORN brags they've done about 1 million & less than 1% of the registrations have been questioned, so that's impossible.

    ACORN has never been found guilty of any voter fraud but some of their employees, in an effort to look like they were doing their job, did turn in fraudulent registrations. They have been fired & there's no evidence that any time they turned in a fake name the person actually voted.

  • Neocons find facts flexible.

  • Republican = corrupt lies. I just dumped my Republican girlfriend and kicked her out of my house because she refuses to even LOOK at the facts.

    It's astounding really. Obama is a Muslim? He's been the member of a christen church his entire life. He wasn't born in the US? (Is Hawaii in a different country???). I could go on and on but I give up. The Republicans simply refuse to look at FACTS.

    Fuck the Republicans.  I'm going Tribal and sticking with people who can at least THINK.

  • Democrats aren't any better than the republicans. If you think so, you've been had and you are no better than your ex for you too are avoiding facts. Obama is just as bad if not worse than McCain, the exact same outcome will come from both.

    You need to see this: watch?v=PePbtEABzGk

    Vote for Chuck Baldwin, the candidate Ron Paul endorse. Don't waste your vote on the two party scam.

  • r u for real?

    thanks to retards like glenn beck, this country is going to hell.

  • you're a dumbass

  • I did similar thing one time!))

  • NEVER vote via absentee ballot! It will get thrown in the trash!

  • B.S. This is the same argument that was being made in 2006. They said the Republicans were stealing the election. Of course the end result was Democrats winning the house. So who is stealing the election again?

  • maybe the stealing just wasn't enough

  • *cough* 2000 election *cough*

  • Is that Steve Carrell in the first interview?

  • That's Robert Kennedy Jr.

  • I like this I'm-a-reporter hat

  • "Ask this question. Why did so many people get funding approved when they clearly could not afford to pay the notes.

    The Answer... greed by those running the Banks, Fannie, and Freddie. Follow the money right back to those who benefited. Both political parties are to blame all"

    Correct. Dems loosened Freddie/Fannie bylaws, Repulbicans loosened banking regulation (which is the real source.)

    Only one party is to blame for deny people their voting rights though.

  • Sorry, I should clarify to avoid the obvious response.

    sweeping banking/finance related deregulation is to blame for the MAGNITUDE of the financial crisis. Freddie & Fannie actually lost market share during the sub-prime boom - other lenders are just as much to blame.

    Regardless, deregulation allowed a bad scheme to balloon b/c banks were able to repackage & resell the mortgages w/o adequate over site, THEN leverage their already inflated value 2-3+ times more than they ever had before dereg.

  • Voting is a privilege of those who obey the law. Ask a felon.

    When I use the Google finance tools to compare the value of Fannie Mae against the Dow average you can clearly see the "Bubble" begin as the laws were changed.

    Who has to pay the bill now that the market has corrected itself?

    WE THE AMERICAN TAXPAYER DOES.

    ALL Those responsible for this mess need to pay for it.

    Do Not Pass Go... proceed directly to JAIL.

  • You're arguing two different issues (voting rights & the econ crisis.)

    "Private firms made nearly 83% of the subprime loans to low & moderate-income borrowers that year... Only one of the top 25 subprime lenders in 2006 was directly subject to the housing law that's being lambasted by cons critics." -McClathy

    Repealing Glass-Steagall allowed lenders to leverage themselves beyond reason, & similar dereg let lenders re-wrap junk mortgage securities. Its like blaming Exxon alone for oil prices.

  • The ability to vote isn't a privilege for property owners only - this isn't 1780.

    The address requirements for voter reg are in place to guarantee that people don't get more than one vote, or 'carpetbag' to swing an election.

    If you are evicted & haven't re-registered, there is nowhere else you can vote. Even though you've recently been evicted, your stake & relationships are still in that community. Even homeless people get to vote.

    You need to think hard if you don't think its unethical.

  • aand the houses in the vid; the cheaper ones, for how much $ do you think they were sold to the ppl?

    with exeptions, wherever you look a the market;

    are that phonenr. or prices i dunno.

    compton 200.000 for a crib of wood?

    maybe! but hey, who made the prices in the first place?

  • If you lose your home to foreclosure then you are no longer a resident at that address and can not vote in that precinct. While this is unfortunate... it is the law.

    Ask this question. Why did so many people get funding approved when they clearly could not afford to pay the notes.

    The Answer... greed by those running the Banks, Fannie, and Freddie. Follow the money right back to those who benefited. Both political parties are to blame all the way back to Jimmy Carter.

  • The law requires an address so that you don't vote in two states or two counties.

    The law exists to reinforce this - one man, one vote.

    Not one man, no house, no vote.

    The GOP is exploiting these peoples' misfortune to deny them their right to vote.

    It may be within the law, but it is without question, unethical. "Country first" (really? sounds like party first.)

    If you know someone was evicted, but hasn't registered at a new address, then of course they will have nowhere else to vote!

  • no this is not the law... are you telling me that if i become homeless tomorrow that negates my status as a U.S. citizen and i can't vote? please give me a break.

  • Yeah, thats all the work of the illuminati. Until you take their New World Order currency (aka the 666 microchip), you will not continue on in society. They expect everyone to give up their liberties for the so called ''security'' but really its to deceive you.

  • ? explain

  • That law is not in affect now but it will be once all of the Unions are united into ONE world. To form a ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT. Their laws will be 100% ABSOLUTE evil and NO mercy against those who don't take the chip. The first step is to form a North American Union which erases the borders of the US, Canada and Mexico. Bush already met with the president of both Canada and Mexico and all 3 made the agreement. There will also be a new currency called the Amero. Look it up on Youtube. 100%unlawful

  • ah interesting i will look into it...i have never heard of that before. : )

  • You conspiracy nuts are so laughable. Let me guess, you believe in chemtrails and deny the holocaust too?

  • Laughable? For f*** sakes you're going to be the illuminati's bitch! All because you were too blind. Before you die, just to tell you.. REMEMBER that WE who u call *conspiracy nuts* tried to save your ass but YOU did'nt want it.

  • I don't know if I want the help of someone who thinks everybody, and I mean everybody, is either evil on a demonic scale, or a mindless sheep.

    Of course the conspiracy mindset is all about making yourself feel more important, after all, why go out and do something to make yourself feel special when you can just paint the entire world as corrupt and evil. Simply getting out of bed would make you fell better than them, right?

  • they actually have evidence, look at part two where they interview people that were apart of the bush administration. Its not a conspiracy when most of this stuff actually happened.

  • Sorry, you must have though I was talking about the video, I was replying to some wackjob talking about an Illuminati controlling the world or something, even though it has nothing to do with this video.

    I agree with the video.

  • i apologize for interjecting, its just some people would actually dismiss this as a conspiracy when they have actual interviews with higher ups who've seen the situation.

  • This needs more views

  • nekedemus - "There is something rotten in the states of America."

    Yes there is and they're called DieBold & 99.9999999% of the Republicans!

  • Certain republicans know there is no chance of McCain winning against Obama - fairly. Having stolen the 2000 and 2004 elections, why would anyone doubt what they (the DieBold republicans) will attempt this time around.

  • What makes anyone in the US think our government is better than all of the other dictatorships that have sprung up?

  • There is something rotten in the states of America.

  • Something wicked this way comes. All those abandoned houses, weeds devouring lawns, roving packs of scavenging dogs, and lawless people carving out their own destiny in the wilderness. A taste of more to come. UN tanks rolling into deserted suburbs, Blackwater troops patrolling mansions in the dark ... Martial Law hovering like a stifling cloth over everyone's head.
