Reply #201: I find something troubling about the object in this thread

[Jose Diablo]

What troubles me was the plea to NOT file Qua Tam way back when the many researchers on DU were opening the mysteries surrounding the election in '02.

Then we find out much later that the one supposedly spearheading the research actually did file Qua Tam, thus cashing in on the profitability offered from the knowledge that all was not well with certain purchasing of the electronic voting machines by the various states. That it looked like there was fraudulent behavior and maybe illegal profit on the part of the companies and those responsible for the purchasing decisions.

Now, I am not against someone profiting from 'blowing the whistle' on irregularities in state purchasing decisions, however I am concerned about the effect on timing and how court records are sealed until determinations are made for the status of Qua Tam litigation. Specifically, did the Qua Tam take valuable information out of the public domain and effectively silence public discourse on the topic of voting irregularities. Thus allowing yet another election to be stolen because someone wanted the credit and the money.

Sometimes I think the object of this story becomes far too protective of information that now has been copy written, but yet then was far from owned by any one single source. I also object to what I perceive is grandstanding by this one individual at the expense of our voting rights. If this had truly been a 'team effort' and remained a 'team effort' I cannot help but think old Wally would now be picking up trash on the side of some highway rather than attending gala events of the wealthy within our society. And who do we have to thank for Wally's ability to get away with what has been done?

Think about it. A lot of talk but I haven't heard diddly squat about how this fraudulent election will be stopped or reversed. For now there is no time.

We, the American people, have been fucked yet again, even when the information was out there.

As far as I am concerned, she can stay banned.
