Warning! OSSI polling/voting systems-new from owners of Christian Undergd.

[Liberty Belle]

This was posted elsewhere on DU but I wanted to be sure the election wizards here see this important tip on election fraud yet to come. Christian Underground (www.christian-underground.com) is a very radical right-wing lunatic fringe website.

1. GREAT heads-up, LB.

How craven to use Jesus to corrupt democracy.

God help them.


Except She won't.

3. If the 2004 election was stolen...

...it was stolen by right-wing fundie extremists who would do anything to ensure "God's President" won.

14. OSSI Executive Benjamin Lu was a Chinese ambassador

Benjamin Lu is OSSI's sales director. His bio (http://www.ossi.com/contact/profiles.php) says nothing about his past representation of China, if this is the same person:


HON. RICK LAZIO

in the House of Representatives

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1994


Mr. LAZIO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to extend my personal welcome to Representative Benjamin Lu of the Republic of China on Taiwan, who arrived in Washington on September 30, 1994. I wish him a most productive and pleasant stay...

16. I don't think that's the same guy.

Stumbled across this while Googling. Born in '84 and says he's the cofounder of OSSI global.

[Syrinx]

6. a couple of interesting factoids

OSSI stands for OSS, International. Wasn't the OSS a predecessor to the CIA?

ossi.com was created in 1991. That was a long time ago, in terms of the public's perception of the internet.

7. Kick! Awfully coincidental, or is it?

[stevedeshazer]

8. I'm telling you, that is one weird place.

What's with the barbed wire?

A sign of their perceived victimization, or a threat of what's in store?

Executive Profiles

PRESIDENT AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE
Cyrus David Baseghi

Cyrus D. Baseghi is the President and Chief Executive Officer of the OSSI Global Corporation. With over 6 years of industry experience, he brings extensive expertise in management, business development and global sales and marketing. In his current role he is responsible for all aspects of OSSI's business.

Previously, he held positions at Malibu Networks, Six Flags, Northstar-at-Tahoe, and other notable firms with responsibilities for strategic planning, global sales, marketing, and business development. From 1997 to 2000 he established and managed a privately held consulting firm specializing in technological development.

Googling led me to this:
http://www.contracostatimes.com/mld/cctimes/news/9711125.htm?template=contentModules/printstory.jsp&1c

"Cyrus Baseghi thinks that upstart voting machine makers can carve out a niche by using the political controversy to their advantage. He is president of OSSI, a 15-person company specializing in point-of-sale software that first dipped into voting to do a ballot system for a Lake Tahoe homeowners association."

Hmmmmmmm.

12. More on Cyrus Baseghi

"Previously, he held positions at Malibu Networks, Six Flags, Northstar-at-Tahoe, and other notable firms with responsibilities for strategic planning, global sales, marketing, and business development."

Interesting how he didn't mention that his position at Northstar-at-Tahoe was that of snowboard instructor. He's apparently a 1998 'graduate' of Black Pine Circle, an independent K- 8 Day School. I guess that means he finished Grade 8 in 1998 and then went on to Piedmont High School in Piedmont.
(Let's see now, I guess that WOULD make him old enough to vote.;-) )

From:
http://www.bpcweb.net/class/alumni/90s.htm
Cyrus Baseghi ('98) is at Piedmont High in Piedmont CA. His activities include basketball and baseball. Cyrus wrote, "I am now a director on ASB at my school, and I work at Northstar-at-Tahoe as a snowsports instuctor and I also work there in Electronic Advertising.". You can reach Cyrus at 510-530-8605 or by email [e-mail]

I haven't tried hacking any of his sites and even if I did I wouldn't post about it in a public forum that could be requested by legal authorities. If someone has the urge...

I don't have access to the Wyoming DL or criminal records so maybe someone local there could do some digging. He is not a registered sex offender as far as I can tell from the Wyoming State web site (I looked through all of them).

permission from skinner to archive the DU thread on the Pope dying & our reaction to it? I'll try to do a search for the thread that skinner posted @ it - I could have sworn that I bookmarked it, but can't find it yet.

on edit: Found it, doesn't look to be related - rang the wrong bell in my head! Now, to find out more @ the Online Archive Project.

15. Following the Google daisy chain...

That www.ubidog.com software is for www.theamericanpoll.com (I'm not quite sure what he means by that tagline "People are not able to 'SKEW' the events." Again, I have to say.....hmmmmmmmm.)

And from xyz123.org website:

"I work hard for many different Organizations to help them achieve their goals on the Internet."

Those "many different Organizations" he's consulted for include (but aren't limited to):

Traditional Values Coalition
Religious Freedom Coalition
Christian Underground
National Federation of Republican Assemblies
Stephen Frank's California Political News
Vision America
RightMarch.com

Drilled down a little further and checked into Vision America. A couple of members of their national advisory board? Jerry Falwell (Eeeeek!) and Tim LaHaye (Gahhh!!).

Now the National Federation of Republican Assemblies is an interesting connection. The president is Richard Engle, who is on the Advisory board of VanguardPAC, located in Niceville, Florida. Think I'll go check out the rest of that board.


edited to add: Well, lookee here! One of the board members is "Grover Norquist, Founder and President Americans for Tax Reform".
That alone makes this group suspect to me.
