Sending hope back to Truth is All

[mom cat]

I don't think you or I will ever forget that November night. I remember standing in the soft rain and watched the unthinkable, the theft of my country. In a few hours we all watched an assured victory turn into an enraging and disempowering defeat. When Kerry conceded the election, I went through a period of utter hopelessness. Many of us did. The rage, frustration and disbelief are still raw but at least now I have hope - a hope fed by the tireless work of TIA and his compatriots for Truth. It has been TIA's work that has most conclusively proven that Bush winning the 2004 election is as likely as my being appointed US President tomorrow morning. TIA, you restored my hope that the big lie could be exposed. Now we have to follow your courageous lead and spread the word.

TIA, against all odds, you never gave up in your quest for the truth, you never gave up on the ideals of democracy, and you never gave up on us. May your indomitable spirit serve you well in your struggle with illness and bring you through to fight again.

We pray that the hope that you gave us all will return to you and your family a trillion times over and that you can say will be sustained by that Great Mystery for whom we have so many different names. May you be surrounded by the light that you have shed to us all and be filled with love and healing.

15. TIA is one of the reasons I got addicted to DU in the first place

But never mind that - I just want him to get well. He is a good soul and a warrior for our cause. But ultimately he is a human being. He would never be mistaken for as freeper.

[mogster]

24. Me too

I saw his graphic from the exit polls on Nov. 3rd 2004 and registred when the reg. was opened again some days later.

Get well, TIA :-)

17. To TIA, who lighted the spark seen round the world! The first and foremost

patriot of American Revolution II! Who blew the phantoms away, and the illusions, and the lies, and the "trade secret" proprietary vote tabulation software, and the veils and veils of secrecy and deception, and the phony exit polls, and laid bare the truth about the U.S. election system--designed by the biggest crooks in Congress, Tom Delay and Bob Ney, and covered up by the war profiteering corporate news monopolies with their FALSIFIED exit polls.

That truth is the brilliant light that shone in the darkness on Nov. 3, 2004.

That is the truth that is going to liberate this country from corporate rule!

They have gone too far. They have messed with our democracy too much. It is going to come out.

That is the truth for which the 21st century is going to be known.

The Bushite fascists in collusion with the war profiteering corporate news monopoly fascists stole the 2004 election, while the Democratic Party leadership and a good portion of the left sat on its hands--out of corruption, out of fear, out of insanity. Sat on its hands and let them take away our right to vote--our very sovereignty as a people.

TIA knew it before anybody--figured it out--and would not be silenced!

Tom Paine, Thomas Jefferson, Nathan Hale and Paul Revere all wrapped up into one--and something more, something even deeper: an almost unearthly devotion to THE TRUTH. Right out of the Age of Reason and Enlightenment. Michel de Montaigne?

Montaigne's motto: "What do I know?"

He was talking about man--humanity, human nature. He rejected all pre-conceived, dogmatic, religious and political notions, and asked, "What do I know?" What do I really know about myself and about other human beings?

Friedrich Nietzsche wrote of Montaigne, "That such a man wrote has augmented the joy of living on this Earth."

And of TIA, one might say: That such a man addressed himself to the truth about our democracy--and uncovered the truth through brilliant statistical analysis--has quickened the rebirth of democracy in so many hearts--and that is a joy despite these dark times.

We now know WHAT HAPPENED. We know WHY the criminals are still in power. We know HOW they did it. And we have the immensely important strategic knowledge that it can be repaired. Our election system is broken. THAT is the problem, and that problem CAN be fixed, by dedicated civic action!

He asked: What do we know? What do the numbers tell us? He put aside all the lies, deceptions and presumptions of our political system, and sought the truth in the numbers themselves, and found it there--in fiddled, falsified numbers, and the impossible odds against those numbers being real.

The truth shall set you free! Indeed!

Truth. Is. All.

Blessings upon you, TIA!

45. What a great Idea. I live near there and it would be a great protest!

[mom cat]

44. Thanks so much for links to the other threads and for all of your posts

praising one of our true patriots.:patriot:

[OnTheOtherHand]

27. a friendly caution

I will not indefinitely overlook factual errors out of respect for TIA. I welcome efforts to confine the support threads to support. Attacks on "a good portion of the left" demand reply, but I will not reply -- this time.

[Chi]

33. Threats in a tribute thread.....classy.

Here's a thought.....If you don't want to hear other people's opinions,
don't hang around on a forum.
:think:

[OnTheOtherHand]

42. is your post intended as self-parody? n/t

[mom cat]

46. Please show some respect. Someone we care about is gravely ill.

[Chi]

51. Thanks... I didn't want to respond, and help him blow up the thread.

[foo_bar]

48. class is rather bourgeois, no?

TIA loved a big production, even from the occasional ne'ersayer.

Hacks and flaks and Macs better scurry,
When I use Excel in a hurry,
When I use Excel in a hurry with the fringe, on tap.

Watch that fringe and see how it mutters,
When I paste them high-flyin' numbers,
Naysayers' noses peek thru the clutter and their veins, will pop!

[Febble]

60. He did indeed

And my hope is that he will be back for more big productions.

But having starred (with OTOH) as the bad guy in quite a few of those productions:

my own tribute to TIA has to be to continue to take him seriously enough to point out the flaws I see in his analyses.



My prayer is that he will be back to point out the flaws he sees in mine. Or just back, bless him.

21. Love, good health and happiness

:grouphug:

You have done so much for us all. TruthIsAll, you are one of the greatest people I have come across on the internet. Your endless quest for truth has inspired so many people and given hope where there was none. Fight this battle against your illness with the same vigour as your fight against the Bush administration. You have been triumphant in that last fight, because you have won, the issue had been proven beyond any reasonable doubt. Surely you can win the fight with your body, because your mind is strong and sharp.

:grouphug:

22. there have been literally hundreds of posts . . .

[Pooka Fey]

23. Prayers for TIA.

[livvy]

25. TIA, you kept me going after the election.

Your solid determination to expose the truth kept me determined. You have done so much to inform and instruct, and even managed to teach my statistically challenged brain quite a bit with your patient explanations. Teacher and truthsayer, get well soon!

[MelissaB]

26. Thoughts and prayers coming your way.

Wishing you a speedy recovery, TIA.

[Judi Lynn]

28. Sorry, get well, TruthIsAll duplicate post!

Until then, we'll be waiting with concern.

Rest, recuperate, and be well soon.

38. It was like stumbling through a forest in the rain, lost and alone,

when I discovered DU, brought here by a TIA post, and I stepped back into the light to find other people who knew what I knew, and felt what I felt.

My life changed.

Thanks, TIA. Looking forward to having you in good health again, friend.

recovery.

[AAARRRGGGHHH]

41. TIA is a hero

and he will remain in my thoughts and prayers.

[Marnieworld]

43. Thank you TIA!

You had the same affect on me as the OP after the election. I had the rage and the certainty that the election was stolen but not the tools to prove it. You showed that math can be heroic that reason can overcome lies. I clicked on every post of yours for comfort and validation. You're work was a marvel. You are definitely in my thoughts. I send good healing vibes to you and all of your loved ones.

You are not alone. :hug:

[electropop]

47. TIA led me here after November 2004.

He gave me hope and courage and the power of knowledge. Hang in there TIA; you want to see the end of the regime and the start of a new day!

[Stevepol]

49. You helped to restore my hope as well in a dark time.

I feel absolutely certain that the 04 election was stolen, primarily thru electronic voting machine fraud, and you are a big reason for my feeling hope. The truth is out there now due in no small part to your efforts. That should be a great source of peace and satisfaction and power to you.

My best wishes as you face physical challenges. May God and Nature's laws bring healing.

59. My favourite prayer ...

... something to share.



"Blessed is God, who created the Universe, who gave us life, who sustains us, and who brings us together to share the joys of each day."

As you can see from all of these posts, there are so many who wish to share the joy of each day with you. And if your room seems incredibly crowded, it's because we are all there with you

So, enough lolly-gaggin'. Get well, get up, and get back to work here at DU. Brilliant posts don't just write themselves, ya know.

If you wanted to spend your time lounging around doing nothing all day, you should have run for president.

Good thoughts, and lots of love, are on their way to you and yours.
