Putin Calls Out Rigged U.S. Democracy: ‘You Actually Believe US Elections are Democratic?’
Free Thought Project ^ | 8/8/2016 | Jay Syrmopoulos

Posted on 08/09/2016 5:02:18 AM PDT by HomerBohn

Washington, D.C. – In the wake of WikiLeaks’ release of emails revealing collusion by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign to defeat the insurgent candidacy of Bernie Sanders, the Clinton camp diligently spun a now leading narrative. This narrative – regurgitated by the mainstream U.S. media – is that Russia’s Vladimir Putin is actively working to subvert the U.S. presidential election.

Make no mistake that the Clinton campaign is intentionally attempting to draw the public’s attention away from the Clinton/DNC’s concerted effort to usurp the will of American voters and rigging the Democratic nomination in favor of Clinton

In addition to the evidence contained in the WikiLeaks’ DNC email release, the organization Election Justice USA, a non-partisan organization advocating for voters’ rights and standing against election fraud and voter suppression in all forms, has released a damning report titled, Democracy Lost: A Report on the Fatally Flawed 2016 Democratic Primary. The report highlighted the following phenomena indicative of widespread vote rigging:

Targeted voter suppression

Registration tampering

Illegal voter purges

Exit polling discrepancies

Evidence for voting machine tampering

The security (or lack thereof) of various voting machine type

Interestingly, Russian President Vladimir Putin preemptively addressed allegations of Russian interference in U.S. elections, and in turn, questioned the legitimacy of U.S. democracy during a panel discussion at the St Petersburg Economic Forum.

Putin was joined onstage by scholar, author and CNN foreign affairs correspondent, Fareed Zakaria, as well as Kazakhstan President, Nursultan Nazarbayev and by 41-year-old Italian Prime Minister, Matteo Renzi.

CNN’s Zakaria is a renowned leftist-globalist, as well as a member of the Council of Foreign Relations, and is known for his work as author of, ‘The Post-American World.’ He is considered gifted minded in many political circles but is the virtual embodiment of Western globalism underpinned by U.S. hegemonic imperialism.

After seeing Putin’s response to Zakaria’s disingenuous question it becomes crystal clear why U.S. mainstream media doesn’t often show Putin. His penchant for direct, honest, rational discourse clearly refutes the constant droning on by paid corporate media talking heads attempting to paint Putin as some aggressive and irrational nut. Hillary has gone so far as to equate Putin with Adolf Hitler, which flies in the face of reality. In fact, Putin strikes directly at the heart of the American government’s legitimacy to rule in his response to Zakaria’s question.

ENGLISH TRANSCRIPT

Putin: (To Zakaria) “Well, well — You’re a very famous person in our country, you personally. Not only as a host on a major media corporation, but also as an academic. So, why are you juggling with what I said? Your ‘journo’ side is prevailing over your ‘analyst’ side. Let’s examine what I actually said.

“I said in passing, that; Trump is a colorful candidate. Do you not find him to be so? I do.

“I did not ascribe any other characteristics to him. But what I did note and what I most certainly welcome, is that; Mr. Trump said he wants to restore relations with Russia. What’s bad about that? We all welcome this. Do you not?! “

“We, however, do not interfere in to the internal political processes of other countries, especially the U.S.! We will work with whatever individual that the American people vote for.

As a side note, America teaches everybody else, how to live with their lessons in “Democracy” – but do you actually believe the US elections are democratic? Twice in US history was a President elected that had the most votes from super-delegates, backed by the least amount of voters. Is that your Democracy?

“And when we try to discuss this with our (US) colleagues – key word is ‘discuss’, not criticize – they say, ‘This is how we do it and mind your own business’. Then, how come you interfere in our business? Sort out your own issues first.

“I agree that the US election really isn’t our business – despite the fact that there are reports of prosecuting attorneys shooing away international observers from US polling stations. But these are your own internal issues to sort out.

“The US is a superpower, and possibly the only superpower of today. We accept this. We would like to cooperate with the US. No matter how the elections go, there will be a new head of state with great powers. The US is undergoing internal political and economic changes. The world needs a strong superpower. We need it too. What we don’t need is their constant interference in our business, telling us how we should live, and getting in the way of Europe building their relations with us.

“The sanctions that you mentioned, do they affect the US? No, not at all, you couldn’t care less about them. Our reactionary measures in response to Europe’s sanctions do not affect the US, at all. Who do they affect? Europe!

“Nevertheless, Americans tell their European counterparts to ‘hang in there’ for a while. I don’t know why they should have to, but if they want to OK, they can ‘hang in there.’

(To Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi [Italy’s economy has suffered a large blow by not being allowed to export agricultural products to Russia]) “Matteo, why should you ‘hang in there?’ Please explain. He’s a great orator, as we have just seen. I mean it – Italy has a lot to be proud of!

“Anyway, we don’t back anyone – it’s not our business. Whoever is elected by the American people is who we will continue to work with. Here’s to hoping that this individual will want to improve relations with Russia and to help build a more secure world.”

America's elections are not democratic because America is a republic not a democracy! Everyone always seems to forget that. Having said that our voting is crooked and the results are never correct. It's always the Democrat wing of the one party system that cheats every time. No body goes to jail though as the crime is just glossed over.

It sometimes seems that Putin knows more about America than a great many Americans.

I believe our constitutional form of government is a democratic republic, as opposed to a monarchical republic or a “pure democracy”. Our selection of office holders is accomplished through a democratic process.

Integrity of the voting process is essential to preserving the republic. You are correct that nearly 100% of the perversion of the electoral process is by the Demon-crats with the silent approval of the the GOPe.

As far as rigged elections and a corrupt state-run Media go, with regard to Putin: It takes one to know one.

America is morphing into something Putin, and many other despots, are quite familiar with.

Election fraud, in whatever form, should be a HANGING offense.

Deadly serious.

This is simply wrong. Do you think that the GOPe is unaware of the mechanisms of voter fraud and how to use them to their advantage in districts they control? No. They are corrupt, they are venal, they are sell-outs, but they are not THAT short-term stupid.

They are silent on democratic voter fraud because they engage in many of the same practices.

Hate to admit it, but the Rasputinish little thug is right.

Dhimmicrats cheat as if it was ordained by God (whom they don’t believe in). It’s all part of Rules for Radicals and the communist manifesto.

Like Islam, they feel it is their right to win in any way they can. Lying cheating stealing are just fine.

Democrats should wonder about what caused the demise of the Spanish losers in 1940.

Some wee lucky enough to escape to socialist France, but some didn’t make it and were executed. Like today’s America, there were a lot of scores to be settled.

It’s not difficult to say this, given the fact that the phony in the White Hut wears girl’s slacks and his heir apparent (win or lose) is suffering from some malady that affects her motor skills, but Putin is a far better leader than Barry.

And what would happen if Hildabeast is elected and other countries refuse to recognize her as POTUS due to perceived election fraud?

Of course both parties are corrupted. There are no good patriots in the Democrat Party, but in the Republicrat Party there are at least ten in both houses.

Vote Fraud will be massive this November, and there is nothing we can do to stop it. Nothing.

The Republicans should have been fighting this fraud for years now, but they don't care. Obama's IRS shut down and illegally targeted many anti-vote fraud organizations. Voter ID laws have been struck down by Democrat judges. Voting machines are already hacked. Democrats violate poll laws at will, and the media won't even report it. Poll watchers are powerless to do anything.

Obama has had 8 years to further corrupt an already corrupt system. We are screwed, and there is nothing we can do about it.
