Odd? Romney Got ZERO Votes In 59 Precincts in Philly, and 9 Precincts in Ohio

• Posted on November 12, 2012 at 12:37pm by Mytheos Holt

Mitt Romney’s demographic troubles have, by this point, been well-rehearsed by practically every pundit across the political spectrum. However, even in his most troubled demographic (black voters, where Romney was trounced 94-6), the GOP nominee could probably comfort himself that at least – contrary to some polls – he didn’t get 0 percent.
But what if there are parts of the country where Romney not only got zero percent of the vote (a possibility in the case of vote totals so small that rounding renders them null), but actually got literally zero votes? For the nominee of a major party, that would be truly extraordinary – so extraordinary, in fact, that it would strain credulity.
And seeing as this highly unlikely turn of events happened not in one or two precincts, but in over 59 in Philadelphia, and 9 in Cleveland, that credulity can be safely said to be completely strained, if not broken. From the Philadelphia Inquirer:

It’s one thing for a Democratic presidential candidate to dominate a Democratic city like Philadelphia, but check out this head-spinning figure: In 59 voting divisions in the city, Mitt Romney received not one vote. Zero. Zilch.
These are the kind of numbers that send Republicans into paroxysms of voter-fraud angst, but such results may not be so startling after all.
“We have always had these dense urban corridors that are extremely Democratic,” said Jonathan Rodden, a political science professor at Stanford University. “It’s kind of an urban fact, and you are looking at the extreme end of it in Philadelphia.”

[...]
Many parts of Philadelphia and other big cities simply lack Republican voters, a fact of campaigning that has been true since Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal, Stanford University’s Rodden said.
In 2008, McCain got zero votes in 57 Philadelphia voting divisions. That was a big increase from 2004, when George W. Bush was blanked in just five divisions.

But Larry Sabato isn’t convinced.
“I’d be surprised if there weren’t a handful of precincts that didn’t cast a vote for Romney,” the regular Fox News guest who also heads the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia, said.
“Not a single vote for Romney or even an error? That’s worth looking into,” he added.
But the oddity doesn’t end there. Weaselzippers also passes along this map of Ohio’s Cuyahoga County.

Note the pure blue areas, where Obama is supposed to have won this full, every-single-vote sweep. Such a victory isn’t logically impossible, but it’s so thoroughly unlikely that some observers are already raising questions of fraud. At bare minimum, this outcome certainly raises questions about the political makeup of the areas in question.

OBAMA STILL STRUNG ON ELECTION FIX HOPING TO EVADE CONSEQUENCES OF HIS LIES

by Penbrook One

USURPER EN PRESENTIA - Barack Obama still believes the consequences for his administration’s lies are going to be easier to face if he ignores the outrage of the American people until after they cast their votes.  In the exact same way he believed the outrage over his lies about his lack of constitutional eligibility to even hold the office of president were going to be easier to ignore after the American people voted in 2008, he now believes he can evade the outrage over his lies about the terrorist attacks in Benghazi, Libya.  Only this time, his lies have injured a dangerous assembly of U.S. military command and clandestine personnel with the ability to manifest politically destructive evidence of cover-up and deception.

 

Commentary by Penbrook Johannson

NEW YORK, NY - Like an addict hopelessly hooked on the poison that’s killing him, Obama thinks if he can just win another election fix, his lies will become irrelevant.

 

Someone needs to help Barack Obama before it’s too late.  They need to conduct a group intervention.  They need to sit him down and, after they remind him of the consequences of presiding over the most corrupt administration in American history, ask him if he really…really wants to reside in the White House for another four years.

After they remind him that he is not a legitimate office holder due to his lack of constitutional eligibility, they now need to make him aware of the damage his lies about the terror attacks in Benghazi, Libya have caused to the morale of our military and the American people. 

Finally they need to ask him if he truly believes the honorable members of our military service actually would respect after the lies and failures about his identity, his ideology and, now, his foreign allegiance to enemies abroad.   

There is some very bad news waiting for Obama on November 7, regardless if he is fraudulently ensconced to the White House again.  The pursuit of truth about his identity will continue, and his diminished credibility with the American military over the Benghazi scandal will continue to erode his image. 

Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, John Bolton, issued a devastating response to Barack Obama’s ongoing failure to respond directly to charges that his administration is hiding information about the September 11 terrorist attacks on the U.S. mission facility in Benghazi which resulted in the murder of four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador, Chris Stevens. 

When asked if congressional investigations should be conducted along with the investigation currently engaged by the Obama Adminstraton, Bolton said, “The only information we have is the result of an investigation of the Obama administration…by the Obama administration.  Investigations by both branches are appropriate.  In the case of the Obama administration, it’s not only that their internal investigations have produced accounts, so far, that are only favorable to them, but that the selective leaking of information has politicized the CIA and the Pentagon a few days before our election.”

It is now clear that Obama’s blatant lack of response to vehement questions about the Benghazi fiasco is an attempt to prevent the American people from discovering the truth before the election next week.  Obama is ignoring the American people’s growing outrage over Benghazi because he knows the answers to their questions will utterly destroy his political credibility and devastate his chances at re-election. 

Again, Obama is demonstrating his propensity for lies and cowardice when called upon to stand for the difficult decision of upholding honor and truth. 

Either way, however, Obama’s credibility and legitimacy have been deeply damaged, not only in the perception of the American people but, most importantly, in the hearts and minds of those who serve in our military, which the office of president must command with utmost credibility and legitimacy if America is to be effectively defended and protected. 

The failure in Benghazi has revealed that Obama is simply no long a legitimate leader able to exercise credible leadership over our military servicemen and servicewomen.   

“What this shows is an administration in disarray while emphasizing the importance of Congress getting to the bottom of this,” Bolton said.

  

A recent report by Fox News’ Catherine Herridge revealed a top secret communication sent in August, 2012, a full month before the attack, from Ambassador Chris Stevens and other U.S. Chief of Mission (COM) personnel in Benghazi directly to Hillary Clinton at the State Department which issued a clear warning that U.S. facilities in Libya were at extreme risk of a terrorist attack and that Al Qaeda sponsored groups were a clear and present threat to the complex and State Department personnel. 

The revelations presented by Fox are an unequivocal indictment against the Obama administration and clearly demonstrate that the White House and State Department were warned that if security measures were not increased at the Benghazi mission, it could not be defended in a coordinated attack.  We now know the Obama administration did nothing to increase security in the weeks leading up to the September 11^th attack, despite the warning from COM officials.

This fact, therefore, suggests executive leadership in the administration, including Obama himself, was fully aware of the threat but chose not to act in the interest of securing U.S. personnel because, for reasons yet to be disclosed, there was a greater political benefit in allowing the embassy to remain vulnerable.

Based on this, it becomes necessary to question whether the Obama administration had reason to believe that the possibility of U.S. Ambassador Stevens being killed was more favorable to an alternative of protecting him and his staff, and what was that reason?  

    

Commenting on the revelations by Fox, Bolton commented saying, “I’ve had chance to read that cable and it is the smoking gun in this investigation.  The idea that the CIA station in Benghazi offered to bring the consulate personnel into their compound a month before the September 11 attack shows just how worried everybody in Benghazi was about such an attack, which, as we know, is what happened a few weeks later.”

“This is a devastating rebuttal to any notion that there was an out of control demonstration  because of this ridiculous Mohammed video and it undercuts the Obama administration’s credibility in a profound way,” continued Bolton.

According to the Washington Times, retired Naval Rear Admiral James A Lyons told correspondents, “It now appears the White House, Pentagon, State Department, CIA, NDI, JCS and various other military commands monitored the entire battle in real time via frantic phone calls from our compound and video from overhead drone.  The cries for help and support went unanswered.  The terrorists could have been wiped out by an immediate counter attack but there appears to have been a lack of courage to make that happen.”

   

Said Bolton, “The passivity of this administration, before, after and during the attack deserves an investigation and that we need to address the broader systemic failure in which appears the Obama administration is believing its own press releases about the war on terror is over, denial of multiple requests for security before the attack on 9-11.”  

This is the result of a mixture of incompetence, politics and ideology, which is a toxic brew.  There is no doubt we had a debacle on 9-11 a tragedy of four Americans dead.  It is important for Americans to understand that this threat still exists today.  There has been no retaliation for that attack.”

Bolton concluded, “Every diplomatic facility in the Middle East is at risk until we do something.”  

And, so is the sovereignty of the Office of the Presidency.

"You must remember, my dear lady, the most important rule of any successful illusion: First, the people must WANT to believe in it."        

Libba Bray, from "The Sweet Far Thing"

 

 

Several years ago and based on knowledge, experience and observations, we developed a theory about mental processes, biases and deep-seated beliefs of the general population.  We called this theory, the "Little Black Box" theory.  This theory applies across the board to almost everything we believe in and everything we do in our lives.  It is inescapable and what is in the "Little Black Box" determines, to a large margin, how our lives will turn out.  It determines our thoughts, religious beliefs, sexual proclivities, our fears, our strengths, our weaknesses, our successes or failures and even our political persuasions.  The content of the "Little Black Box" and thus a person's point of reference, begins to fill up at a very early age and the person is not aware, nor do they have any control of what is going into it, because it is determined by their early environment, along with a dash of their biological parent's genetics.   

 

SIDEBAR:  Hitler knew this so he developed youth camps to fill up young children's "Little Black Boxes", for diabolical purposes ..... to create adolescent spies to rat on the dissenters and to control the minds and behavior of an entire country.  The camps were very successful for their intended purposes.

 

People behave in direct proportion to the content of the "Little Black Box" and in most cases they are not aware that they are behaving in this manner.  To them it is perfectly normal.  In fact, what is in the "Little Black Box" defines who they are early on in their lives ..... that is, according to our "Little Black Box" theory.  Changes to the content of the "Little Black Box" rarely occur throughout a person's lifetime.  When they do occur, it is almost always the result of some revelation, a violent act or accident, overpowering new information, (true or false) or an epiphany. 

 

The theory is especially applicable to how people believe and act in the religious arena.  It follows then that, if you are born into a Catholic family, there is a high probability you will remain a Catholic for the rest of your life.  The same is true for political leanings and biases.  It is intuitive then to say that, if you are born into a Democrat family, you will most likely remain a Democrat for the rest of your life, without any regard to the substance of what is meant by being a Democrat.   It is equally true for Republicans.  We call it blind party affiliation.

 

If you are born into a poor family, you are likely to remain poor.  If you are born into a wealthy and privileged family, you are quite likely to follow the path of wealth and privilege.  There are exceptions of course.

 

For this reason, people are very selective about what they listen to, watch and read.  They virtually always listen to, watch and read about issues that are compatible and aligned with what is in their "Little Black Box".   They analyze everything they see, hear and read in the context of their "Little Black Box".  It is not a choice they make consciously.  It is pre- determined and pre- programmed for them long before the age of consent.  No matter how convincing an argument you make to another person, they will almost always yield to what is in their "Little Black Box" before all else, even if it defies principle, logic, reason and/or even common sense.   This mostly likely accounts for Obamamania.

 

The fact is, a freshly born human being is nothing more than a giant sponge that absorbs everything that it hears, sees, smells, tastes, or touches in its immediate environment and all that it absorbs is, for the most part, locked into the "Little Black Box" for the rest of their lives.  The person is a slave to it, but is not aware that they are a slave because it defines who they are.  They can be nothing else.

 

The "Little Black Box" theory explains many facets of abnormal behavior in the vast majority of humans.  It explains radical Islam.  It explains a Hitler, a Stalin, a Mao, a Mussolini, a Saddam Hussein, a Gaddafi and a Bashar Al-Asad (current brutal dictator of Syria) and it even explains an Obama.  But it also explains why we are Democrats, Republicans, Baptists, Catholics, Protestants, Muslims, Mormons, communists, socialists, Marxists and a whole host of other belief systems.  We are who we are because we have been "shaped" that way by genetics and by our immediate environmental influences.  Unfortunately, none of this content is as a result of our own personal choices.

 

Our "Little Black Box" theory was completely vindicated after we watched the Presidential debate last Monday night and then watched the reviews of the debate on Fox News and MSNBC news.  It was all so predictable.  The Fox News pundits said Romney did what he planned to do, stayed above the fray and that he looked presidential, but Obama was petulant and petty.  The MSNBC news pundits said that Obama came on strong and articulated his arguments well, but Romney seemed lackluster, offered no substance and was extremely weak on foreign policy.  It was the same debate but with two different perspectives, dictated by what was in each of the observer's "Little Black Box".  So ladies and gentlemen, we ask you, which "Little Black Box" is right?  Which one represents truth?  Which one is based on the foundation of individual freedom and liberty?  Or is there no truth, just distortions of reality, as an evil companion to propaganda, hype and lies?

 

Which brings us to our current situation, the 2012 election and the enigma that is half-white, half-black Barack Hussein Obama.  Obama's early life was shaped by his somewhat promiscuous white biological mother; a black biological father that abandoned Obama within two years of his birth; a Muslim stepfather from Indonesia where Obama lived for several years and attended Islam schools; his white grandparents that Obama lived with for quite some time because apparently, his mother didn't want him any more, or perhaps because she couldn't handle that he was black; a family friend of his grandparents, one Frank Marshall Davis, a known and active communist; several Muslim and mostly black friends while in college and those Muslims he met when he visited Pakistan in 1981; a radical, Chicago pastor, the very reverend and Black Liberation Theologist, Jeremiah Wright; a slum landlord, one Tony Rezko now in jail; and a domestic terrorist by the name of Bill Ayers who used bombs to punctuate a radical political agenda.  Who knows how many other radical influences shaped Obama's early years and young adult life, due to its fractured and convoluted nature?

 

Even differing view points can agree that Obama's time on this planet hardly represented an idyllic life with two loving parents, a stable, structured household, strong morals and personal values and a positive work ethic, that is the foundation of an American way of life under freedom.  What Obama absorbed from the day he was born was wild variances in multi-cultural life styles, double parental abandonment and vastly conflicting belief systems.   He had to cope with white vs. black, Muslim vs. Christian, America vs. Black Africa and Muslim Indonesia and freedom vs. socialism or communism.   These kinds of widely diverse conflicts in one's mind could only have produced a scrambled egg omelet for brains.  Perhaps this explains the devious nature in the way he and his administration handled (or should we say "bungled") the Benghazi terrorist attack on our consulate where 4 Americans were brutally murdered by terrorists.  That Obama and his surrogates would lie to the American people in order to cover up the event for some inexplicable reason (probably political) is a wide open window into the mixed-bag content of Obama's "Little Black Box".

 

But Obama isn't just conflicted he is dangerous.  His "Little Black Box" is so filled with garbage and radical ideas from his childhood and early adult life, that his psychological profile would contain a plethora of red flags.  That he was elected to president of the United States is largely due to the clouded and distorted "Little Black Boxes" in those that voted for him.  That he still remains a viable candidate for a second term is not a mystery.  It is the result of almost a century of progressive indoctrination and brainwashing, showered upon young, impressionable Americans by out-of-touch parents; a socialist agenda, power-driven government; public schools loaded with government propaganda; academia that dishes out a never-ending stream of liberal propaganda; the predominantly left-wing press that aids and abets the progressive ideology; and by foundations using vast sums of money to influence all aspects of American life.  It is no wonder that the "Little Black Boxes" that exist in the minds of a large segment of the American people are so blinded to the American heritage of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness under a proud flag of freedom.  It is no wonder that those dependent on government would shun self-reliance, independence and individual responsibility in the self-interest of maintaining their government handouts.  It is no wonder that those that support Obama also support dirty tricks, sleazy, attack campaign ads and intentional voter fraud to protect those handouts.  For Progressives, winning by any means is the rule, not the exception and it has been going on for at least a century.

 

"The Parallax Prophecies" predicts that if the day ever comes that those with clouded "Little Black Boxes" are greater in number than those who believe in and practice the tenets of constitutional freedom and liberty, freedom will surely die, if it isn't dead already.

 

If Obama is re-elected, the number of people with clouded "Little Black Boxes" will only grow and grow, until the day comes that they will outnumber those that cherish freedom.  Simply by their majority vote they will render the constitution, our Constitutional Republic and freedom, totally irrelevant and meaningless.  As a result, those in power will increase their power until their defined mission of absolute power is finally realized.

 

Who among you are willing to let this happen?  Who among you will condemn your children and grandchildren to the bleak future offered up by Obama and the bankrupt progressive/socialist ideology?  Who among you will get up out of your armchairs and make sure that Obama's future for America never comes to pass?  Who among you will put aside your irrational principle of not voting for the lesser of two evils. 

 

The reality is folks, it is strictly a numbers game.  Obama must go and it will take every conservative vote to send him packing because of the distorted "Little Black Boxes" that exist in millions of Americans.  However, if you want another four years of Obama, by all means, stick to your principles and don't vote for Romney.  But not voting, or voting for anyone but Romney, are just more votes for Obama.  Romney is not perfect and he is not our favorite, but he is a whole lot better than the inept, grossly negligent community organizer that has done everything in his power to destroy America and may just succeed if he gets another four years.  It is abundantly clear that the content of Obama's "Little Black Box" is not what is good for America.  

 

One could ask, how long will it be before an Obama or succeeding government forms Hitler-type youth camps to fill up young children's "Little Black Boxes", for diabolical (or political) purposes ..... to create little spies to rat on the dissenters and to control the minds and behavior of an entire country?  Could it come in the form of government-operated pre-schools, like has been proposed by the Obama Administration?   If you don't believe that this is happening, read Beverly Eakman's article entitled "Obama's Early Learning Challenge and our Failed Education System", then decide!
