Diebold Execs give big to Christian Reconstructionists.
This might be of interest to go with the voting machine issues.



Alert: Diebold-Faircloth Connection!

Touch-screen machines part of a theocratic plot?

Diebold execs gave big-time support to "Christian
Reconstructionists"—
who believe that ONLY CHRISTIANS ought to have the right to vote!

From a friend in South Carolina:

Mark, Follow up research on Wally O'Dell from Diebold. His attempts
to isolate his personal political views from the corporations don't
fit with the facts. Personal donations to campaigns can be searched
at the FEC or through some other websites like CommonDreams.org. Try
searching the board and senior executives of Diebold and see if you
can find any Democrats. More surprising, there is a concerted pattern
of donations to one candidate outside Ohio. Many of Diebold's
executives gave money to the North Carolina Senatorial candidate
Lauch Faircloth.... on the same day.

An added twist is that Lauch Faircloth has alwasy been openly opposed
to allowing all Americans to vote. He is a leader of CNP, the
Christian reconstructionists who believe only Christians should be
allowed to vote. How can a voting machine company have so many
executives line up behind a candidate who is opposed to counting all
the votes? It certainly gives you some scope for interesting
questions to good old Wally O'Dell!

Brief background, with links, in case you want a quick synopsis:

From: †http://www.barf.org/articles/0015/

†"Whitehead shares with Rushdoony, along with many other far-right
members of the Biblical America establishment, membership in the
secretive Council for National Policy (CNP). As of 1996, both
†Whitehead and Rushdoony, along with others such as Pat Robertson,
Howard Phillips of the U.S. †Taxpayers Party, Oliver North, Jesse
Helms and Lauch Faircloth, were members of the CNP."

"While Biblical America views the secular world as the harbinger of
the totalitarian state, its faithful minions have begun to act, not
as a conspiracy but as a subculture, subverting democratic
institutions to eventually warp our government into something
resembling a fascist theocratic state. It is their vision of a
future totalitarian regime, in which only approved Christians would
have full citizenship, the Bible †the basis of all law, and many
of
us live as slaves, that drives them. "

Here are some of the donations from senior execs at Diebold, you can
verify via FEC searches or www.opensecrets.org:

Michael J. Hillock President, Diebold International
11/18/97 $500.00 FAIRCLOTH FOR SENATE COMMITTEE 1998

David Bucci Senior Vice President, Customer Solutions Group
11/19/97 $500.00 FAIRCLOTH FOR SENATE COMMITTEE 1998

Warren W. Dettinger Vice President, General Counsel and
Assistant Secretary
11/20/97 $300.00 FAIRCLOTH FOR SENATE COMMITTEE 1998

Donald E. Eagon, Jr. Vice President, Global Communications &
Investor Relations
11/21/97 $300.00 FAIRCLOTH FOR SENATE COMMITTEE 1998

Larry D. Ingram Vice President, Procurement and Services
11/22/97 $300.00 FAIRCLOTH FOR SENATE COMMITTEE 1998 † Dennis M.
Moriarty Vice President, Customer Business Solutions
11/23/97 $300.00 FAIRCLOTH FOR SENATE COMMITTEE 1998 † Anthony J.
Rusciano Vice President, National Accounts
11/24/97 $300.00 FAIRCLOTH FOR SENATE COMMITTEE 1998 --- Tony lists
himself as ìretiredî on the FEC form and uses his vacation
home address to try to hide this 'all on the same day'
donation pattern. † Charles B. Scheurer Vice President,
Corporate Human Resources
11/25/97 $300.00 FAIRCLOTH FOR SENATE COMMITTEE 1998

Robert J. Warren Vice President and Treasurer
11/26/97 $300.00 FAIRCLOTH FOR SENATE COMMITTEE 1998

If you want to really worry yourself, take a look at the other big
player in making our 'no paper trail' voting machines. They are
called ES&S. The president of that company was Senator
(R) Chuck Hagel's campaign manager. They also have senior staff
making lots of donations to the CNP stealth candidates like Mike
Fair from Greenville SC.

You might want to learn more about these Christian Reconstructionists
who control the the two voting machine companies to whom we are
entrusting our ballot casting and counting:

http://www.qrd.org/qrd/www/rrr/recon.html

"Christian Reconstructionism is an extreme form of post-millenial,
Calvinistic Protestantism which argues that it is the moral
obligation of Christians to reclaim every "worldly" institution for
Christ. Reconstructionism also holds that the entire Law of the
Pentateuch continues as a standard of righteousness even today for
Christians, and that Christians must exercise dominion through the
power of God's Law over all the Earth before Christ shall come
again. As part of their theology, †reconstructionists hold that,
under the coming "kingdom of God", which they are actively engaged in
†bringing about, that the Biblical penalty for homosexuality
(death)
will be enforced, though they will †always demur that they do not
advocate that the penalty be applied today, but only in some nebulous
†future time when they believe that God will have instituted a
theocratic form of government."

A theocratic form of government? I go to church on occasion but don't
believe we should replace our constitution with a group of mad
mullahs making all the laws.

I have only touched the tip here. Bev Miller (do a Google Search) has
MUCH more at her website. This isn't a partisan plea-- it's an effort
to secure honest Democracy. Check it out on your own-- it's pretty
spooky.

4. I was thinking of good question
Edited on Thu Dec-01-05 07:04 PM by happydreams
to ask these true believers in Congress when you see them telling us god inspired them. Simply ask if they now or have you ever been a Christian Reconstructionist?

It seems that they are very close to treason for advocating supplanting the Constitution with Biblical Law.
