Provinciale Staten verkiezingen an terrorisme.
Henk Ruyssenaars - 07.03.2007 13:36

Het is natuurlijk te gek voor woorden dat de mensen die de frauduleuze stemcomputers onderzoeken van 'terrorisme' worden beticht? Door de fabrikant van de door hem geprogrammeerde machines? Gaat er ook nog maar iemand zichzelf laten belazeren?

De rest is in het Engels, uitgezonderd een 'link' onderaan.

Today Dutch 'voters' are fooled again

People from the Dutch organisation investigating the rigging of voting computers 'ought to be jailed as terrorists' the director of the voting computers firm in now published letters secretly urged: 'The security of the State is in danger.' Because nowadays in Holland it is like in all other countries with rigged elections: not the voters decide but those who plan and announce the results.

INVESTIGATING VOTE RIGGING IS ''DESTABILIZING SOCIETY AND COMPARABLE TO TERRORISM''

by Henk Ruyssenaars

FPF - Amsterdam 7 March 2007 - Today after opening of the polls for the so called 'Provincial elections', those few (between 5 and 10 percent) who still are uninformed and/or ignorant enough to use an as usual rigged voting computer, are all screwed and fooled again. Many collaborators within the present asocial system however will 'vote' to give the procedure some - in their eyes only - 'legality'. The managers of The Netherlands have informed 12,240,000 out of 16 million plus inhabitants that they are eligible to be taken for a computer fraud ride again, still giving the false impression that people in general have a voice left and actually can 'vote' for the so called provincial states.

Well, they can't, and one of the creatures orchestrating the fraud is Mr. Groenendaal, the director of the Nedap firm in Holland.* Which always as the only one allowed for the US junta compliant 'government' has constructed and programmed/rigged the fraudulent voting computers in the 10,000+ voting stations throughout the country. He not only helps to fake to results: Groenendaal also threatened with blackmail and wanted people who investigate and write about the rigged voting computers arrested as terrorists. The investigating people from the 'We don't trust voting computers' organisation* last year bought used voting computers from this firm, Nedap, and showed how bad and unreliable the programming with the kept secret 'closed source' was. The link to the full story about the rigging of all Dutch elections you'll find below.*

The Dutch industry's information bureau 'ANP' (Algemeen Nederlandse Propaganda) writes about the offered poll results today, that they'll also indirectly name the possibly 'new' members of the Senate, since the members of the various provincial executives choose the 75 members of the Senate. A total of 564 provincial seats will be filled after today's elections, 200 fewer than are now in office in the twelve provinces. A recent amendment to the Dutch Provinces Act changed the number of provincial representatives in each of the provinces."

SO CALLED 'ELECTIONS'

You see that the industry propagandists still use the expression 'elections' while it has been proved thousands of times that the creatures programming the state's voting computers decide the outcome. The so called 'elections' last year November are too bad for words or to be remembered. The SP party the majority voted for and which took all the lost seats by the US compliant group called 'government' - which a majority of the people strongly voted against and the absolute 'winner' of the 'voting' which could not be rigged more than done - this third biggest political party in the country and parliament was declared 'dead' and disappeared from nearly all media. So the same war criminals and US junta gang for the fourth time and even if they lost most - was as expected again installed as 'elected'. What this group of SHELL trainees and 'christians' on behalf of their masters is doing to Holland is an overwhelming shame for humanity and beyond any form of decency.

To give one small example: among today's 'voters' poverty rises under the robbing rule with at least one percent a year, according to the manager's own figures. So it surely is more. Half a million children don't get enough food, most live on the streets getting no education and suffer with the others. While the multinational racket also here uses its stooges in 'government' and collaborating civil servants to wreck the whole social fabric of formerly prosperous Holland. So now - thanks to rigged computers and the highest taxes in the world, Holland is number six on the list of 'richest countries'. Only, it's 'rich' and a tax haven for just five percent: the 95 percent pays the usurers bills while permanently being brainwashed by the disgusting media the warmongers own. Investigative journalism is nearly dead, and checking the vote computer fraud results in the accusations of being terrorists.

PROTESTING VOICES ARE SILENCED

NO journalist or other human being, critical of the inhuman situation and many deaths in wars also supported by the collaborators in Holland - none of those people has a 'normal' job. And it is the same concerning anybody looking into any fraud by the criminals bleeding Holland: the critical and/or protesting voices are silenced. One way or the other.

The following story about today's misery on the vote computer front in The Netherlands should rather be read at the original web site where an abundance of English (und Deutsch) material is available.* This is the start of the incredible rigging and blackmail story, how computer crooks try to screw collaborating crooks, describing how this Nedap voting systems company threatened the Dutch state, trying to blackmail them as well. And in the original article (see link below) there is a lot of linked evidence.

“BUY MY COMPANY NOW OR YOU WON’T HAVE PROVINCIAL ELECTIONS”

After invoking the Dutch Freedom of Information Act, the "We do not trust voting computers" foundation has received a number of unnerving documents from the Dutch Electoral Council. These documents describe the wheeling and dealing of Jan Groenendaal, whose company is responsible for all the software sold by the Nedap/Groenendaal consortium that sells the voting computers used in over 90% of Dutch municipalities. Groenendaal's company writes the software that tabulates the election results on both the local and the national level. The Dutch government depends on Groenendaal's company to the extent that it currently cannot hold elections without his help. The Electoral Council concludes this in worried letters (Dutch) to the responsible minister that are part of the correspondence now made public.

The letters also show that Groenendaal was more or less blackmailing the Dutch government at the time of the previous parliamentary elections. On November 10th, he sends an e-mail (english translation) warning the ministry that his company will cease all activity if Rop Gonggrijp of the "We do not trust voting computers" foundation becomes a member of the independent commission that is investigating the future of the electoral process. This commission was instituted after earlier exposés by the foundation Gonggrijp founded. Despite this intervention, Groenendaal probably senses that the commission's report (due in October 2007) is likely to negatively impact the value of his company. Therefore, Groenendaal makes a very straightforward business proposal in the same e-mail, : "The ministry buys the shares of our company at a reasonable price, [...] and we will still cooperate during the next election (the Dutch 2007 provincial elections to be held March 7th).

On November 22nd 2006 (the day of the national elections) he wrote a letter ( english translation) which doesn't spell blackmail as explicitly to minister Nicolaï, in which he indicates his need to sell quickly because he would like to “abruptly” retire. But when that letter fails to elicit a fast response, Groenendaal writes an alarming e-mail (Dutch) to the Electoral Council in which he says: "We are heading towards a very dangerous situation". Right in the heat of election preparation, he writes: "I have ordered my employees to halt all activity until we have received an answer that is acceptable to us", and asks the secretary-director of the Electoral Council to intervene on his behalf. As far as we know, the Dutch government never filed criminal charges in relation to this attempted extortion.

INVESTIGATING VOTE RIGGING IS ''DESTABILIZING SOCIETY AND COMPARABLE TO TERRORISM''

The mails also show that Groenendaal was contemplating going to court to force the public prosecutor to arrest Rop Gonggrijp, founder of the "We do not trust voting computers" foundation. Groenendaal writes: "After all, his activities are destabilizing society and are as such comparable to terrorism. Preventive custody and a judicial investigation would have been very appropriate." The company also contemplated suing Gonggrijp as well as the TV-program EénVandaag for damages. In their October 4th 2006 broadcast, EénVandaag showed that Nedap voting computers could easily have their software exchanged and that large numbers of these computers were stored in unprotected locations.

Groenendaal would also like to see the foundation's two legally bought voting computers confiscated.

In the documents, one can also read how, before the November 22nd elections, Groenendaal sent a letter to all Dutch municipalities which use his system in which he criticizes the Ministry of the Interior for their handling of the crisis regarding the concerns over the verifiability of voting computer election results. In this letter (Dutch) Groenendaal, on behalf of his company, rejects all responsibility for a well-run election. The minister deemed it necessary to quickly follow up with another letter (Dutch) to try and control the damage. In general in his e-mails (Dutch) Groenendaal (sometimes signing as "generally acknowledged election expert") shows frustration over the way in which the Dutch state, after years of neglect, is re-taking control over the elections. Where possible, Groenendaal attempts to sabotage (Dutch) this process. When the Electoral Council informed Groenendaal that it would like to put a copy of the source code of his software at a so-called "escrow organization" for safe keeping, Groenendaal demanded a 100 Million Euro guarantee from the Electoral Council in case something would happen to the source code for which the escrow organization could not be held responsible.

DUTCH ELECTION RESULTS ARE CALCULATED USING SOFTWARE MADE BY GROENENDAAL

Publicly to this day the Dutch government has always indicated to have a large amount of trust in Nedap/Groenendaal. Dutch election results are calculated using software made by Groenendaal that has never been inspected by any independent body, despite an advice (Dutch) by the Dutch Electoral Council to subject this software to inspection. And when the Dutch government found out how easy it was to replace the software in Nedap voting computers, it ordered replacement and inspection of all the memory chips. These inspections were done by Nedap/Groenendaal, which was thus inspecting itself. These inspections prompted the Dutch government to issue a press release (Dutch) titled: "No doubts regarding reliability of voting machine".

According to Rop Gonggrijp of "We do not trust voting computers" the use of voting computers threatens the verifiability of election results, because the computers in use today do not allow for any post-election audits. “These e-mails shed new light on the relationship between Nedap/Groenendaal and the state, and thus also on the entire chain of events regarding voting computers. We too had the opportunity to wreak havoc regarding the election organisation. But that’s never been our intention, we’re merely here to campaign for elections with a verifiable outcome. Had we e-mailed the minister in this tone, we’d be at the police station now”, says Gonggrijp.

"We do not trust voting computers" has written an open letter to the new responsible minister Ter Horst calling on her to “take the necessary measures needed to restore confidence in the electoral process and in the notion that our government can not be blackmailed”.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

The "We do not trust voting computers" foundation has been campaigning against the use of the current generation of voting computers in The Netherlands since the summer of 2006. As a result of this campaign, it was revealed that Dutch election legislation fails to address key issues regarding voting computers and that the voting computer inspection regime is faulty at best. Inspections by an independent party (a private company named Brightsight) are limited to a very small number of machines and the inspections mostly test for resistance against vibrations, high humidity and power failures. Resistance against willful manipulation is neither part of the legal requirements nor of the actual inspections.

In September the foundation legally bought two Nedap voting computers and showed it was relatively easy to create a version of the built-in software that manipulated the election results. It also turned out the chips that held the software could be easily replaced. Subsequently the Dutch government decided to have Nedap/Groenendaal inspect and seal all voting computers. Researching the voting computer also showed that voting computers emit radio waves that can be used to determine what is being voted, threatening the secret ballot.

As a result of the concerns raised over voting computers an independent commission led by ex-minister Korthals Altes was appointed in December 2006. This commission will report on the future of the Dutch electoral process in October 2007. A sub-commission led by ex member of parliament Loek Hermans will look back and examine the decisions made surrounding the introduction of voting computers.

[NO SO CALLED 'GOVERNMENT COMMISSION' SHOULD EVER BE BELIEVED! - ONLY REAL 'INDEPENDENTS' - HR]

Nedap voting computers and Groenendaal election software are also used in parts of France and Germany, and both countries are said to be rolling out more computers. In 2004, Ireland bought 50M Euro worth of Nedap/Groenendaal equipment (sold as "PowerVote") and then decided not to use it in elections after doubts regarding system security were raised.

The state of New York is currently contemplating buying 28.000 Nedap voting computers (sold as "LibertyVote") and accompanying software (appropriately named "LibertyControl").
