Electronic Voting Scam Hijacks Another Primary Election for the Neoliberal Agenda

by Scott Creighton

The neoliberal agenda keeps rolling on.

South Carolina Democratic Primary – hacked

In South Carolina something happened that is supposed to make us believe that in America, anything can happen. That a relative unknown can rise up and challenge the status quo just so long as we “get out the vote”. You see? it is a “free” country…

But it’s a lie.

Thirty-two-year-old Alvin Greene of Manning defeated 64-year-old Vic Rawl of Charleston in Tuesday’s primary. Rawl is a former judge and legislator, who had about $186,000 cash available and had already scheduled a fundraising event for Thursday.

Greene raised no money in the contest, had no signs and no website. AP

We are supposed to believe that somehow, some nobody who didn’t advertise, didn’t have a website, and didn’t even have any signs came out and beat a former judge and 4 term lawmaker in South Carolina? Really? Is that what we are supposed to believe?

Here’s a little more background for you…

One Minute to Midnight; No More Compromise

by Scott Creighton

“Lift me up…”

In 1940 an honored U.S. citizen checked himself into a Naval hospital. He was 58 at the time.  A few weeks later, one of the most decorated U.S. Marines in history, Smedley Butler, was gone.

By his own accounting Smedley Butler loved the men who served under him, he loved the Corp, and he loved his country. He was a brave man who possessed a rare combination of physical and moral courage and he was probably killed by cowards. He had taken a course of action in direct opposition to the real power of this country. He had been offered the keys to the kingdom in exchange for doing to this country what he had done to so many others during the span of his illustrious career, yet he refused.

Like Andrew Jackson before him, Smedley Butler chose to expose to his fellow countrymen something that few have ever known; war is a racket and the criminals who run it are the greatest threat to humanity we have ever known. 

After a lifetime of service to the corporations and the banks, Smedley Butler refused the last tour of duty they offered him; the violent overthrow of the United States of America and the installation of a fascist state in its place.  He had sworn an oath to the constitution and the people of the United States and he took that oath to heart for in 1934 he exposed to America what he called “The Business Plot”… a planned military coup, designed by the business and banking elites of America as a response to Roosevelt’s and John Maynard Keynes’   New Deal policies. 

Six years later the two-time Medal of Honor recipient, Smedley Butler, paid for his heroism with his life.  But he bought us nearly 70 years with his sacrifice.
