February 07, 2020 "Information
Clearing House" - The
outrage over the
Iowa caucus scandal has continued to burn white
hot as more and more establishment manipulations
against the Bernie Sanders campaign come into view.
At the beginning of a CNN town hall with Democratic
presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg last night,
immediately following the network’s town hall with
Sanders, the event’s host
Chris Cuomo announced that 100 percent of the
caucus results were now in and the former South Bend
mayor had narrowly won the contest. These results
had been
announced by the Iowa Democratic Party moments
before Buttigieg’s town hall appearance.
There is no reason for anyone, let alone a major
news outlet, to believe these results are
legitimate. They are
full of
easily demonstrable errors and discrepancies
which have been highlighted by both
the Sanders campaign and
The New York
Times, and they have yet to be addressed.
Furthermore, Sanders has a
perfectly legitimate claim to the win given the
undisputed fact that he received thousands more
votes. This is without even getting into all the
other
extremely shady shenanigans with the
now-infamous Shadow app whose crash has
given the media days to sing Buttigeig’s praise,
which has in turn given him
a major polling bump for New Hampshire.
But Chris Cuomo (who is
the brother of a Democratic New York governor
and the son of
another Democratic New York governor) declared
Buttigieg (who because of his
establishment grooming and
alt-centrist ideology is
beloved by billionaires and
spooks) the winner anyway. In front of millions
of people. While Buttigieg was standing right there
in the spotlight. Immediately after the “results”
were released.
We’re watching a major US election being rigged
in real time, right in front of our eyes, and it’s
intense. And it’s only just getting started.
