Convicted Felons, ‘Shadowy Financiers' Own Companies Counting Votes
An investigation into the surprisingly-sordid history of America’s “election services industry” has revealed that executives and owners of the two largest companies, E S & S and Sequoia Pacific, have been convicted of bribery and suborning public officials in more than a dozen states.
And while a felony conviction may be enough to prevent you from voting in Florida, convicted felons can take heart in the fact that the “blemish” on their record in no way disqualifies them from owning companies counting the votes.

In fact, the word ‘coverup’ itself was invented to describe the activities of the original owner of Sequoia Pacific, "shadowy financier" Lewis Wolfson, who got caught bribing no less a personage than a Supreme Court Justice of the United States of America.

While Abe Fortas was forced to resign in disgrace, no such harsh fate befell Wolfson. When you own a company that counts the votes, politicians smile more kindly on you than they might otherwise... and for good reason.

2. It Takes A Crook to Elect A Criminal
If you study the history of the Bushitler Dyansty, and how the basis for their wealth and power was to provide steel to Nazi Germany so they could kill Allied soldiers, and help I.G. Farben build crematoria to incinerate innocents, you will start to see the logic of this situation. I'm not making this up - Google "John Loftus" and read about his research into the links between the Bushitler dynasty and the Nazis - did you know that George Walker Bushitler's grandfather's assets were seized in 1942 under the Trading With the Enemy Act ?

Before it is too late, the flesh-eating virus of the Bushitler Dynasty must be purged from the body politic. They are SCUM.
