By entering a 2-digit code in a hidden location, a second set of votes is created in the Diebold central tabulator, a program installed in 1,000 locations, which controls both paper ballots and touch-screens, each system handling up to a million votes at a time. Full story After invoking the 2-digit trigger, this second set of votes can be changed so that it no longer matches the correct set of votes. The voting system will then read the totals from the bogus vote set. It takes only seconds to change the votes, and to date not a single location in the U.S. has implemented security measures to fully mitigate the risks. It is not too late to do so, and the corrective measures are relatively simple. This program is not "stupidity" or sloppiness. It was designed and tested over a series of a dozen version adjustments, and has been in place for four years.

Give me your name, city, and state, and I can probably get your home address in less than an hour *if you vote.* Any information you include on your voter registration form, can be had by any member of the public, for free, at your local courthouse in most states. The reasoning for this is the public’s right to know outweighs the individual’s right to privacy. This rule is prevalent across America. Voter registration information is considered “public information.� You are told you must give your *home* address for voter registration, so that you are registered within the correct precinct. Yet nowhere, on *any* voter registration forms I have seen, or on *any* website I have visited related to voting, have I seen a highlighted warning to voters about *voting registration information becoming public* from then on. Some states even require social security numbers to register to vote, which then go public. No one I have run across is actively trying to get the word out that your voter registration information may very well all be public now. Everyone is so caught up in the voter registration frenzy, while some very basic and dangerous voter registration flaws are being overlooked.

A Forbidden Truth dissection of the universal malice and genocidal oppression
inflicted by all 21st century political and governmental systems upon
all citizen-slaves of planet earth.

The criminal "justice" system in America is a two party system. In the criminal system, you will be probably be abused by prosecutors and not get decent help from a public defender. And no, there is nowhere else for you to turn. Just like this year's elections.

While we are caught up in our opposition to the Iraq war/occupation and the immense costs of that war ($132 billion so far and counting), very little is written or talked about by the human rights catastrophe happening in Sudan. It is estimated that 1000 people a day die in Sudan while local organizations (WILPF, the IWW, and the RCNV) have yet to even pick up the issue. While many have involved themselves in the Israeli/Palestinian conflict (myself included), the death toll there is 4,200 dead (on both sides) in the past FOUR YEARS!! This pales as a nothing on the scale with actual GENOCIDE being committed in Sudan. Is it significant that the perpetrators in Sudan are Arab/Muslims??? Does the RCNV have an unwritten rule that it will not publicize any injustice done by Arabs? A search of their website today (Sept. 12, '04) shows that the name "Sudan" cannot be found anywhere on the website!! Of course, the anti-homeless issue of the Sleeping Ban cannot not be found there either. The following article can be found on the Human Rights Watch website at www.hrw.org
