What a stolen election had looked like [aw!m vanity]

Someone who lived through a stolen election.

Jmouse007 is not just any FRiend on this forum but someone who actually lived through a stolen election.

He thought he was 'dressing me down', but actually I roused him to share this experience with the world. I take no offense -- just glad to get a first hand account of stark history.

Regarding the Government controlled media in the Ukraine at the time; as someone who was there and had been working in country for years, just like the American MSM, the Ukrainian TV, radio and print media were all totally in the tank for the corrupt Ukrainian government and its ploy to steal the election.

For decades it had been and was a propaganda arm of the utterly corrupt government; in this case the President Kutchma regime that was actively involved with Putin/Russia in rigging and stealing the election for Victor Yanokovich = a TWICE CONVICTED FELON AND MEMBER/HEAD OF THE RUSSIAN MAFIA IN UKRAINE.

As soon as the election was over the MSM quickly proclaimed that Yanokvich won in a landslide (due to vote rigging and ballot box stuffing) and went right along with proclaiming the lie that Yushenko lost the election and that Yanokovich has "won".

ALL of the TV, radio and print media kept repeating "the big lie" for days and days after the fraudulent election results had been posted. However, the populace didn't believe or fall for any of it. Because like Trump vs Clinton, Yuschenko ran on a platform to end corruption and was wildly popular with his rallies drawing huge crowds of enthusiastic voters while Yanokvich was pushed by the government the MSM establishment and the Russian mafia. His lack luster campaign events drew few people. He had little support because the populace knew who and what he was.

The news shows on ALL of the networks invited a multitude of professional, "talking heads" (who were unanimously supporting the corrupt regime) all day long to perpetuate the fraud, confirm the cooked "election results", prop up Yanokovich and vilify the petulant protesters. The MSM also went out of their way to habitually denigrate the protesters and to drastically downplay the significance of the Orange Revolution, the size of the demonstrations and how many people were actually involved.

In spite of all the propaganda, "spin" and outright lies perpetuated by the media, working in consort with the corrupt Ukrainian government/regime to attempt to dampen public opinion, public support for the movement and end the Orange Revolution, NOTHING WORKED! EVERYTHING THEY TRIED BACKFIRED: THE PROTESTS EXPANDED, THE CROWDS GREW EXPONENTIALLY AND CONTINUED DAY AND NIGHT FOR WEEKS UNTIL THE Orange Revolution's DEMANDS WERE MET.

The MSM and the government FAILED COMPLETELY BECAUSE BOTH INSTITUTIONS HAD LOST ALL CREDIBILITY = The Ukrainian public at large no longer trusted anything coming out of their collective mouths.

1) The citizens of Ukraine knew their corrupt government, in conjunction with its "Main Stream Media" had stolen the election via mass voter fraud and that they were boldly perpetuating the lie that Yanokvich had won.

2) The Ukrainians didn't believe anything they were being told about the election results or the Orange Revolution. They no longer trusted the MSM, their corrupt government because both had lost all credibility.

3) The citizens of Ukraine believed the evidence of their own eyes: The Orange Revolution; its protesters, its demands and the overwhelming support of populace was real. They were genuine, massive, growing, peaceful AND, MOST IMPORTANTLY THE PROTESTERS WERE COMMITTED TO CONTINUING THEIR PROTESTS UNTIL THEIR DEMANDS WERE MET. It was an unstoppable, ever-expanding "movement".

Eventually, the MSM HAD TO TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT WHAT WAS GOING ON, THEY LITERALLY HAD NO OTHER OPTION because things got so bad: government, daily life, EVERYTHING either shut down or was directly impacted by the Orange Revolution and everyone knew it, they had no alternative but to tell the truth because otherwise they would have become a laughing stock.

Once the MSM finally began to accurately report what had been and was taking place: i.e., the corrupt Ukrainian government, the fraudulent election results, the mass scale of the Orange Revolution composed of honest, patriotic Ukrainians protestors who wanted an end to the corruption and free and fair elections, their whole "house of cards" collapsed.

The similarities between what took place in the Ukraine and what is happening here in the USA this election are almost identical. And I stand by my original premise that the peaceful protests of the Orange Revolution, held on a mass scale throughout America could succeed in overturning the fraudulent results here as well, should Hillary Clinton and the DNC, in collusion with the government and MSM try and steal this election through mass voter fraud.

Over the shock now.

It doesn’t matter if the Clintons triggered the Orange Revolution.

I’ve thought it over — our own social media is much more powerful than what the Ukrainians had.

And, if our social media collapses, we will know who to blame — Obama. He will blame the Russians, and few will believe him.

Through our social media — checkmate. We win an even greater victory.

If he takes our social media — checkmate. It makes it more clear and obvious.

If gunfire is added to the mix, I think the outcome is still along the same lines although bumpier. Our military and law enforcement would quickly become demoralized.

Awesome story. Thanks for sharing. The parallels are very similar.
