I want to share a video with you that I just came across on YouTube. Now, be forewarned, this is not an exciting video. This is not Lindsay Lohan licking Ecstasy off Kim Kardashian's naked thighs. This is not the final sweaty episode of Survivor, and it does not feature that delicious hunk from the Old Spice commercials (sorry, girls . . . and some guys). As a You Tube video, it's really lacking: no UFO documentation, babies scared of their own farts, or even Kittens Falling Asleep.

However, this video is exactly what I claim: little old laides biting the head off democracy and eating it in front of us. It's ugly, creepy, and wrong. 

I suggest you watch it. Because this exact aberration has been taking place all around the United States for decades. You'd probably be shocked to know just how many little old ladies are actually in charge of democracy in America. Much of our elections system has been in their surprisingly strong grip -- just try to pry it from them! -- since before most of Occupy Wall Street was in nappies. The League of Women Voters and tens of thousands of poll workers are all sweet, well-meaning, responsible gray-haired ladies who, as this video proves, will lunge madly for your jugular and have you arrested and imprisoned if you so much as question the nature of their work (which, btw, is your legal right).

The nature of their work, in case you didn't know, is to provide secure, transparent, publicly observable elections for their fellow citizens. That's all. It's simple, but difficult. Election day is a tiring affair, and these public servants deserve our respect and gratitude . . . 

. . . if that's what they're doing.

But it's not.

What our elections officials -- and all these sweet little grandmothers puttering around at elementary school precincts on election day -- have ACTUALLY been doing for the past 40 years is SELLING US OUT WHOLESALE TO EVIL CORPORATIONS WHO BOUGHT OUR DEMOCRACY FOR BILLIONS OF DOLLARS SO THEY COULD DESTROY IT.

We don't HAVE publicly observable elections anymore because these people -- like the women you will see on this video -- have decided it's okay to hand democracy over to private, unaccountable corporations who build the computerized voting machines that now count our ballots IN SECRET.

Why is it not okay to count ballots in secret? Anyone? Anyone?

BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW WHO REALLY WON, THAT'S WHY!

And this is not difficult, it's easy to understand, even the most dumbed-down American can probably grasp it after a few minutes of trying. Certainly a savvy elementary school student could explain why their student council votes shouldn't be counted in secret, in the school janitor's closet, BY THEIR OPPONENT.

The companies that control the machines can rig them secretly. The software is "proprietary" and off limits to all oversight. Elections supervisors have NO WAY to verify that the votes are not being manipulated within the machines, and there is AMPLE EVIDENCE to support the charge that they ARE being manipulated.

As you'll see on this homemade horror video, the woman named Pat who goes lunging -- fangs bared -- for the frustratingly mind-mannered interviewer, probably knows pretty damn well that she's involved in treasonous illegality.

Yep, Pat -- that's you -- guilty of aiding and abetting treason. Not nice work for a grandma, and my grandma would kick your ASS if she were alive today to do it, because her family came to this country to escape oppression and fascism -- the very nightmares we're increasingly experiencing in the United States right now, because WE NO LONGER HAVE ANY DEMOCRACY HERE.

We no longer have any democracy because people like YOU, Pat, have sold us out, and we can't vote the bastards out like we should be able to, and now with Citizen's United, we can't stop the tsunami of corporate money drowning what's left of our decapitated, blood-drained democracy in filthy floods of toxic cash.

Not all little old ladies are nice. And this one, Pat, who threatens an American citizen with arrest for asking to see her ballot counted, is not nice. Not nice people are destroying our country, because nice people, like us, are letting them.

Meanwhile, Pat's sidekick has the stupefying audacity, or audacious stupidity, to ask "why" anyone would rig the machines. 

Why would someone want to rig an election? Anyone? Anyone?

This incident, fyi, has been played out in essentially the exact same simple but powerfully frightening script -- complete with raging, lunging, frothing, fascist grannies -- in every state where citizens have confronted election administrators about our now secret, corporate-controlled ballot count. 

Oh, and the older guy in this video who loves Diebold so much because it's an American company? I wonder how he'd feel if he bothered to learn the truth -- that Diebold is the brainchild of two Russian brothers? Something tells me this Cold War era gentleman would go a little green around the gills to hear that information.

How about the string of white-collar criminal charges and convictions trailing the key staff and stock holders of EVERY computerized voting machine manufacturer, from tax and computer fraud to election rigging to cocaine trafficking?

Truth? Anyone? Anyone?
