Judge Gregory Frost ruled that election activist and Green Party Congressional candidate Bob Fitrakis provided 'zero' evidence for his claims, offering instead only conjecture as to how and why the machines could fail.

The Winner of the Election: George W. Bush
"Both Obama and Romney have adopted the worst elements of the Bush agenda: perpetual and preventative wars, punitive trade sanctions, violations of traditional civil liberties, warrantless surveillance, extrajudicial detentions, regressive credit expansion, the revolving door between the White House and Wall Street, increases in domestic spending in the name of free enterprise, cronyism and national regimentation in the name of social welfare, regulatory expansion, deficit-based anti-recession measures, bailouts of banks and other major corporations, and colluding with special interests over major decisions behind closed doors."

"Germans are making noises about wanting to audit the gold that is supposedly held for the German government by the New York Federal Reserve Bank in lower Manhattan. The Fed had been giving regular tours of the vault. The New York Fed is in evacuation Zone C in downtown Manhattan. It wasn't flooded. Zone C residents are told to expect storm-surge flooding only from major, category 3 or 4 hurricanes that hit the New York harbor. Yet, the Fed is cancelling tours of its vaults indefinitely 'due to the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.'" Continue reading →
