Elections: Tools of Tyranny or Protection of Liberty

May 12, 2014 ~TPATH~ Just this past week yet another conservative hopeful has failed his country, our Constitution and the people who have placed their confidence in him.  Rand Paul has joined the Progressive camps of the ruling parties with his declaration that voter fraud should be ignored.
 

The foundation of liberty and freedom is built upon representatives of the people and all those in position of power being held accountable by fair and honest elections. The integrity in the election process and the belief by the people that the results are unblemished is the basis for the rule of law and the compliance to it.
 

Election results and the laws and regulations that are a consequence thereof, can be acquiesced to even if they run contrary to one’s culture or ideology if those results were understood to be obtained honestly. The sense would be that detrimental and dangerous programs could be overturned once the people see the effects of them and change course in the next election cycle.
 

But when the people lose faith in the system, when they begin to understand the corruption, the cheating and the flagrant voter fraud has been so ingrained that no amount public education will affect in anyway the pre-determined outcome of elections, the rule of law will break down.
 

It is important to note here that even as we understand that honest elections are the tools of a representative democracy and the shield against government domination, fraudulent elections are even more powerful tools of tyrants.
 

It is simply disgraceful for any conservative leader to remove himself from the continuous battle against those who would subvert the veracity of free elections.  If Rand Paul supposes that looking the other way or just out right ignoring voter fraud is the way to the White House, it may be time Americans reconsider why supporting him would differ from supporting any liberal Democrat.
 

Before we go into some of the crimes and unconstitutional processes which are growing like a cancer on our liberty, right here in America, let’s look at some very good uses of rigged elections which are going on right now in Europe.  This is a prime example of how corrupt governments use “elections” as a tool for power and aggression.
 

The Premier of the Ukrainian Provence of Crimea, was elected to his office despite Russian-Ukrainian voters being outnumbered by Ukrainian Nationalists by more than a 4 to 1 ratio.  But what the Russian government supported Premier had in his favor was rigged elections controlled by the Russians. As a result, when Russian policies were being imposed on the Crimea, the people who understood the election of their Premier was crooked, refused to except his decisions and ousted him.
 

Since then the Russians, in preparation for the ultimate invasion and take over of the Ukraine, held yet another fraudulent referendum whereby a small minority of Russian-Ukrainians voted overwhelmingly to forsake Crimea’s sovereignty and turn the country over to Russia. That would be similar to Texans voting to allow Mexico to annex it.
 

This past weekend, after announcing even more referendums for even more Ukrainian territory to be handed over to Mother Russia, Ukrainian security forces raided a Russian separatist compound and confiscated hundreds of thousands of pre-marked ballots. Pre-marked by the way, to join Russia.
 

We have pointed this out because this chaos, this corruption and this type of circumvention of honest elections is well underway here in America.  The schemes and plots may be different, but the results will be the same.  If those in power are allowed to remain there by voter fraud and usurpation, voters will stop voting at the ballot and start voting from positions of armor plated camouflage.
