…that the elections, although presenting few inconsistencies and irregularities, these were not enough to validate the entire recount of the votes or to nullify the election. The partial recount made (on the ballots that PRD had asked for) showed a balance in the loss/gains of votes between PRD and PAN. Thus, no proof was found of a systematic fraud.

This means that Calderón will most probably be defined as “president”. AMLO has – of course – said he will not tolerate this, and that this is a “coup d’etat”. So he is going to proclaim himself president on the 16th of September.

I would like to be president too, I think I will proclaim myself president.

What a loser. Jeeez.

The recent elections in the state of Chiapas went to PRD. Even though all opposing parties filed complaints, the state election tribunal (led by – who else – the PRD) said it knew of no complaints that had been filed and declared the PRD candidate winner.

It’s interesting that they are doing what they say is against democracy, etc. They will probably get a taste of their own medicine this week – although in the national case of the complaints, the federal election tribunal IS taking action regarding the complaints.

PRD, AMLO and their followers are so darn double standard. They are like small kids that don’t get what they want. In Queretaro, an elected member of the local congress – who by the way is PRD – was caught presumably drunk in his BMW the other night. Together with 3 other people, amongst them a local government official (PRD of course), they refused to open the doors of the car and get out. Eventually the congressman fled when another person inside the car “surrendered” to authorities. That’s the way they want to “lead”…

www.lekare.com was mentioned recently at http://www.pejeverdadero.blogspot.com/ - this is a blog that makes a thorough dissection of senderodelpeje.com’s often inconsistent entries… it’s quite a fun blog to read, definitely recommended!

In today’s Reforma, they write about some of the “camps” of demonstrators that want a vote for vote recount. People at four of the camps aren’t that interested in the recount, but they get “points” to get a house on credit for every day they stay at the camp. “La Unión de Lucha Vecinal Valle de Anáhuac” is the name of the association that doesn’t really care about why they demonstrate, only that they do. 25 points per day at the demonstrations, means the dream of many of the “demonstrators” comes closer for every day they stay at the demonstrations. There have also been rumours of PRD paying the “demonstrators” 250 pesos for each day they stay there.

I think that is the AMLO strategy, lure the ignorant masses into believing he is a Messiah and to pay them to believe in him.

Another reason for not supporting him in 2006

Now AMLO and his brainiac supporters have figured it out:

1) First it was a “cyberfraud”
2) Then AMLO said. “No, it wasn’t a cyberfraud, it was a fraud done the old fashioned way, by filling the ballots with more votes”
3) Then they said that IFE was a big part of the fraud
4) Then they said that it was a “cyberfraud” – again
5) Then they got 5 left wing cuckoo-heads from UNAM, dressed as “scientists” to “prove” a cyberfraud. Didn’t work. Leading mathematicians all over the world say they are wrong.
6) Then they said that the electoral tribunal was a big part of the fraud
7) Then they said the fraud was maybe a cyberfraud, but definitely an old fashioned fraud
Now they say that the fraud began when training the citizens selected (randomly) to work in the election stations.

So, now they have included around 1 million Mexicans in the biggest fraud “complot” ever. Everyone that touched the ballots have done it in a fraudulent way – according to AMLO and his paranoid followers (not to mention Victor Hernandez of senderodelpeje.com, who’s conspiration theories are right up there with the guys who wear tin foil hats to keep the US government from controlling their brains through the cable tv sets). From the election station workers, the political parties’ observers (even their own that, obviously were “bought”, the international observers checking the election (don’t know how they were “bought”, but according to AMLO, they were looking the other way), through the IFE and all it’s employees to the election tribunal and it’s members. Wow. That is some complot.

Too bad (for AMLO) that the people who actually voted, voted for Calderón to win. And too bad for AMLO – there wasn’t a complot, and there wasn’t an election fraud.

All AMLO supporters say there was an “evident” fraud, but so far they have failed to show ONE piece of evidence. They DON’T have a case. There wasn’t a fraud. And now they pay “supporters” 250 pesos per night they stay in Reforma blocking traffic, and if they aren’t in place when checking, they lose their money. Time for the – so far – quiet citizens that are fed up with these no good idiots, to remove them from the streets.

…AMLO & Co. want the tribunal to ignore the results in a bit over 7000 ballots, since they say the ballots’ votecount don’t match the number of votes that it should have.

Conicidentially, these ballots are located where Calderón has big support, so ignoring or nullifying the votes would obviously hurt Calderón more than AMLO.

Now… what if this is really part of AMLOs strategy from the beginning? Adding or taking votes from the ballots where he has little support in order to hurt Calderón? mmmmm…. I think we have a possible recipe for a real election complot here!

I mean, if this “fraud” could be done one way, I guess it could be done the other way as well, couldn’t it?

This morning, in a radio show, a video interrogation with Carlos Ahumada (see post:…are these guys for real?) “exposed” that the famous “videoscandals” in reality were carefully planned and that the federal government had knowledge of this videos. Carlos Ahumada said in a 10-minute edition of these interrogation tapes – 40 hours were shot when he was caught in Cuba a couple of years ago – that he wanted to use these tapes (showing corruptive behaviour by city government officials) for protection. He also said he had met witn PANs senior senator, Diego Fernandez de Ceballos and that they “negotiated” the release of these tapes in exchange for protection from prosecution.

It remains clear that this didn’t work for him. He’s been in prision for 2 years counting now, in solitary confinement with no rights to speak to the press.

OK, these allegations are pretty heavy. Are they true? Who knows. Politics in Mexico are really dirty. All over. It is clear that the Cuban government, that earlier denied the Mexican govenrment access to these tapes, filtered the tapes to the PRD. It is also clear, that Ahumada probably says alot more during the 40 hours of interrogations and that this “edition” of the interrogation was made to incriminate the right wing in Mexico. I am sure that the entire 40 hours paint a different picture but we will probably never know.

So, a couple of questions come to mind. Carlos Ahumada was branded by the PRD as a big liar when these scandals dominated the news in Mexico a couple of years ago. Now they say that his statements all but prove that the federal government are implicated in this “complot” (oh, here we go again) against AMLO. So, he is a liar, and now he is a monument of truth. Hmmm… I think it’s time that the city government officials let Carlos Ahumada hold his press conference. Only that way can they – should the allegations be true – get some weight into these accusations. All federal government officials have denied any contacts with Ahumada. So it’s word against word. The same word against word that put him in prision in the first time, but then it was his word against PRD official’s word.

First of all, regardless of whether the statements are true or not: Bejarano, Imaz and others ARE corrupt. Whatever Ahumada says about the circumstances around the video scandals, it doesn’t make anybody less guilty. Now. Where is all the money that was scattered around in the pockets of PRD officials? It has been conveniently brushed under the mat by PRD.

PRD shot themselves in the foot not showing these videos during the election campaign. This could have swung sympathies in the direction of AMLO. Now they are just showing how tired AMLO and his followers are, trying to get sympathies in the last dying hours of their protests.

Now AMLO seems to get fired up again. His latent paranoia has gotten some fuel. Now he says that Vicente Fox has been planning all this since 2004, and that this shows without any doubt the complot against him… He even calls Fox a traitor to Mexico and to democracy…geeeez. I wish he would not see himself as the center of the universe, ’cause he ain’t. The loss of PRD in these elections is due in it’s entirety to AMLO’s way of alienating people that once might have supported him, but that finally saw through him. No complots have been planned against him. Ever… only the ones in his head.

It seems AMLO’s supporters are running out of excuses for their poor showing in the elections. They are bracing for the tribunal’s final decision any day now. And it won’t be pleasurable to them.

Anyway, this is something Lopez Obrador has known all through these days, ever since the election. He knew he wouldn’t win – legally and honestly. So he is saying there was a huge fraud – of which no proof has been shown yet.

It’s time for the tribunal to take the decision, and it’s time for all the buggers occupying downtown Mexico to go home and earn some money or something.

Get over it, you lost.

So now, all over different pro-AMLO blogs, they are trying to smear Calderón, saying he is drunk at meetings, etc. An example is Victor Hernandez’ www.senderodelpeje.com that published a completely unconfirmed “news” item from some other blog, where “sources” said Calderón was too drunk to talk at a formal meeting with local syndicate leaders… come on. Victor Hernandez is known for publishing anything, true or not true, as long as it is damaging for “FeCal” as they call Calderón. The language used in his blog, together with the “info” just shows the lack of intelligence, lack of vovabulary and foremost lack of arguments. I think too much weed and peyote has been ingested among his people.
