URGENT: Diebold Electronic Machines Malfunction, Vote for Other Candidate

FOR IMMEDITATE RELEASE
Contact: Jocco Baccus
678-520-2088

(Decatur) After one hour of voting, the McKinney campaign has received numerous calls that the voting machines are malfunctioning. Voters casting votes for McKinney are reportedly having their votes switched by the machines for Hank Johnson. This is not a new problem with Diebold machines. Lawyers for the campaign have been alerted and said that if this situation is not corrected, Cynthia McKinney for Congress will be forced to take additional measures.

DEBKAfile reports: Israel has agreed to halt its air bombardment of Hizballah targets in locations where tens of thousands of foreigners are waiting to be lifted out of Lebanon Tuesday, July 18. They include all non-essential UN staff from Beirut. However, Israeli military leaders fear this will leave Hizballah free to exploit the evacuations, including many women and children, as a human shield for posting its long-range missiles and firing them against Israel. Beirut harbor, the main departure point, would be the best vantage point for Hizballah to aim its long-range missiles against Israel’s heavily populated coastal cities. The US and British embassies in Beirut which are coordinating the large-scale evacuations also fear Hizballah may attack the evacuees in the convoys at the most vulnerable points, on their way to the rescue crafts or during embarkation - and then accuse Israel. Washington, London, Paris and Berlin requested and received Israeli guarantees for its air force and navy to hold their fire until the operation which could last two or three days is completed.

He is repeating what he has been saying for several months, and which he firmly believes - - that the end of the State of Israel is at hand ("the day on which the regional people will rejoice").

I do not treat it as a joke or a product of his delusions (at least in the strictest sense). Hitler intended to erase the Jews from the face of the earth, and while he failed, six million died.

This man may ultimately fail in his goal, but that does not preclude an imminent holocaust. There are very real ways in which he may succeed in killing staggering numbers of people. This is no joke.

President: Rage of nations against arrogant powers on verge of eruption

Mashhad, Razavi Khorasan prov, July 18, IRNA
Iran-Ahmadinejad-Fury

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad here Tuesday referring to the crimes of the Zionist regime in the region said that the volcano of the rage of nations facing the tyranny of the arrogant powers is on the verge of eruption.

Speaking at the 8th gathering of the nationwide university and higher institute officials as well as Basiji scientific groups in Mashhad, he said that the present conditions are quite abnormal and the scenario of aggression is about to end.

"The Zionists themselves have realized that they have launched a risky move and are aware that the flame of the fury of the regional states will set them ablaze," he added.

Stressing that the enemies of Muslim nations are approaching the end of the road and are about to drown, the president said that for this reason they have subjected Muslim nations to their rage and hatred.

"The day on which the regional people will rejoice will definitely come soon and the world is standing on the threshold of great development and the Muslims are expected to overcome their aggressive enemies," said the president Ahmadinejad addressing the Zionist regime as well as their supporters proposed, "Just as you created such a situation you had better put an end to it yourself."

Looks like someone may be headed for a cell phone beating. Give her room.

They don't. They just know if McKinney gets beat they need to have been ahead of the curve with charges of voter manipulating Diebold machines.

This is the new Democrat tactic for when they continue to lose elections.

Probably not. It would be about the same as me asking my cat to go get me a cup of coffee.

Did smoke come out of Helen's ears? Nose? Mouth?

I've got to find the video of this on C-span. I'd even pay to see it.

What a mess.

On the bright side...while getting out evacuees it gives time for the infantry to prep:)
