Arc of Darkness by Michael Carmichael |
 November 4, 2008
For eight years, the American people have been held hostage on a roller-coaster ride from Hell commandeered by their rogue Commander-In-Chief, “W.”, and his senior sidekick, Dick Cheney.
Careening from the chaos of the Florida fiasco of 2000, when the winner of the presidential election was shunted aside and the loser was inaugurated following a controversial finding by the Supreme Court under William Rehnquist, the American roller-coaster has taken its captive passengers and the rest of the world through a series of dizzying loop-the-loops. Half-way through the eight-year ride an interim election took place, and its results were just as troubling.

If democracy is denied by Michael Carmichael |
 The sheer momentum of the Obama-Biden ticket has triggered frantic and massive Republican vote-rigging operations in key battleground states designed to manufacture a counterfeit majority in the Electoral College.
Tactical operations now stemming from the McCain-Palin campaign and its surrogates are designed to lead to litigation in the Supreme Court now under the direction of Chief Justice John Roberts who capably served under James Baker and George W. Bush as the primary architect of the legal maneuvers that decided the presidential election of 2000 by a party line vote in the Rehnquist Court.

GOP Endgame: Vote Suppression by Michael Carmichael |
 Facing the political failure of the McCain-Palin ticket, official GOP strategy has shifted from futile attempts to win the popular vote by demonizing Barack Obama to a reversion to American voting standards of the 18th and 19th centuries. The GOP campaign is a blatant attempt to effect a surgical manipulation of the Electoral College that will overturn the popular vote.

Kingdom of Darkness by Michael Carmichael |
 It is unconscionable to perpetuate fraudulent or biased electoral
practices in any nation. It is especially objectionable among us
Americans, who have prided ourselves on setting a global example for
pure democracy. With reforms unlikely at this late stage of the
election, perhaps the only recourse will be to focus maximum public
scrutiny on the suspicious process in Florida. Jimmy Carter, 2004

Bush calls Mugabe, 'Undemocratic' |
|
As a former advisor to Morgan Tsvangirai, I am compelled to offer the following observations
on the recent attempt by President George W. Bush to appear less despotic than the reviled
president of Zimbabwe, Robert Mugabe.
In the midst of the sham election rigged to give Robert Mugabe the impression that he is still the
most popular leader of his teeming masses, George W. Bush outdid himself in a realm where he
deserves a special distinction for excellence: hypocrisy.

Morgan Tsvangiri - Zimbabwe on a Razor's Edge |
 As a core policy in our pro-democracy mission, Planetary monitors situations involving the denial of democracy. Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe is one of the world’s most despotic tyrants. In 2002, Mugabe rigged the presidential election and prosecuted Tsvangirai on false charges of treason that carried the death penalty. International outrage helped to protect Tsvangirai from the hangman’s noose, and he was awarded the coveted Democracy Medal by the International Association of Political Consultants.
