WHAT IF WE COULD CHANGE PAST OUTCOMES WITH THE TRUTH?

I believe that everything that has happened to each and every one of us, and in the past, happened for a reason and happened because we needed to learn something in order to personally grow from that incident.  But, what if that didn’t apply to certain events in history?  What if some of the outcomes to certain events that affected the whole world were fraudulent and untrue?

In my lifetime, the biggest outcome that had some of the most horrifying implications around the world was the US Presidential election of 2000 in which George W. Bush was elected president.

Florida was the deciding state for the presidency – here’s what happened that was not part of mainstream news stories:

“The New York Times and many other newspapers, concluded that Mr. Bush would have come out slightly ahead, even if all the votes counted throughout the state had been retallied” (Alessandra Stanley, New York Times, May 23, 2008, in a review of the HBO television movie Recount).  This is not true for the following reasons:

• The New York Times did not do their own recount, it participated in a consortium which concluded; “If all the ballots had been reviewed under any of seven single standards, and combined with the results of an examination of overvotes, Mr. Gore would have won, by a very narrow margin” (Ford Fessenden and John M. Broder, New York Times, November 12, 2001).
• The law in Florida is quite direct:

f(4)  If the returns for any office reflect that a candidate was defeated or eliminated by one-half of a percent or less of the votes cast for such office…the board responsible for certifying the results of the vote on such race or measure shall order a recount of the votes cast with respect to such office or measure.

• Based on the above piece of legislation, The Florida court ordered a recount.
• The United States Supreme Court stepped in and shut the recount down.
• All the news organizations had the same information:  Al Gore received more legal, countable votes than George Bush.
• Here are some headlines after the consortium was formed by the organizations that formed the consortium:

• Gore Vidal from the The New York Times  indicated the following:

If all ballots had been reviewed under any of seven single standards, and combined with the results of an examination of overvotes, Mr. Gore would have won, by a very narrow margin.

The above is written in the book, Censored 2009 – Chapter 2:  Censored Deja vu – What Happened to Previous Censored Stories.  The specific story is written by Larry Beinhart.  Larry Beinhart is the author of Wag the Dog, The Librarian and Fog Facts:  Searching for Truth in the Land of Sin, all available at nationbooks.org.

Can you imagine if the people of the United States of America and the world really grasped the implications of the above and mobilized for truth and justice?  The outcome of the 2000 US presidential elections were wrong and all the policies that George W. Bush legislated should not be the law of the land.  George W. Bush is directly responsible for invading Iraq and the deaths of over one million Iraqi’s.  He has pushed through legislation that benefit and protects corrupt corporations, banks and government but punishes those who question those policies.  He declared war with the world and his own citizens using the ‘the war on terror’ and the events of September 11, 2001 as justification.  All this and more and he wasn’t even the president.

If more of us removed all the “distractions” in our lives, we would have been able to change the outcome of that day.  We must rise up and demand accountability from our governments around the world.  We must demand that they work towards creating positive change for our future, the environment and our children’s well-being.  We must not support greedy corporations and companies that continue to destroy our planet in order to increase their profits.   We must support and elect politicians who are driven by the need to create positive change in the world and not positive financial outcomes for those who dish out the most money.  This can happen – it is starting to.  All we have to do is WAKE UP.

Together, we can make the world a more positive one!
