DanSpillane's JournalYes of course Bev Harris of Black Box Voting
My lead-in technique...hope you liked, and guessed right.
Bev and I had an "amorous and fateful" date at Starbucks in late 2002.
I like a writing style which brings out curiosity, then questions. I wonder if I should stay here on DU or move. There is a site with rdrship 400k/mo which has invited me. In that case I would mirror here, in installments.
My story will take several unexpected turns. I'll just say it--my world was turned over after being the first voting whistleblower worldwide; as I began to revisit it and turn more stones in 2014, a series of shocking--and beyond terrifying events beset me and my family, friends, and neighbors (and fuzzies).
What would happen to a person who stepped on the wrong toes, if they were a swell whistleblower and writer, but actually suffered from disabilities which left then so much more wide open to perils--the same beyond vile?
...So further then, in my series I shall unmask what snuck out to race into the shadows, once the Black Box was opened--safely (for certain offenders) after the wind-down from the 2006 HBO movie.
I didn't mention Amnesty for just one reason, as will become ever more clear. I will avoid using the "T" word, with respect for the many that experienced such worse than I.
The readers shall be the Judge in the Court of Public Opinion.

Gotta Love transparency...
Always love the Government looking after itself--kinda sorta. Sometimes needs a few s**tkickers...and after all, people who want to rise up with their kin are safe in a modern Democracy, right?(?) And safe under the 1st Amendment...not to mention(alas) the Eighth.
Oh, yes. 2003...

And here I am in 2019, as I sit in the "historic" Starbucks in Seattle where I first met a lively woman in late 2002 and where I handed over a pivotal document to her which I hoped...just might lead to some small change to the world of voting. And besides, my Sister's family was abroad in the military; I would feel proud to serve them the gift of a better voting system far and away from the U, S, and A.
The document would later be in an HBO special(wtf!)...based on what came to pass; I wonder if it's in the Smithsonian by now, with a snapshot of the woman? (half joking--but half serious).
Little did I know henceforth from the Starbucks meeting came the start of a revolution, and the woman would ride upon a skyrocket of Red, White, and Blue.
After a brief jaunt in the limelight for me--and in news near and far--I watched from an increasing distance enjoying the colorful fireworks of Democracy in action...but as the gap grew, I was only dimly aware what was pulling me away was so gravely vile and colorless; and what seemed like a collection of chance events were everything but.

And no, I got peanuts no where near 475,000; whistleblowing is overrated.
