What voting machine problem? Philippine election time is nigh

no problem, folks. The company that owns the machines assured us there is no problem.

Background:

the elites and usual suspects (CIA surrogates) tried to stop Duterte in the last presidential election, but the vote was overwhelming; however BongBong Marcos lost the VP vote to Leni.

now BBM is running for President, and all the elites are backing Leni. 

And so there are findings of irregularities in printing paper ballots, and now a breach of data from the Smartmatic voting machines. 

and lots of the usual reports about double registration and vote buying.

What's going on? I have no idea. 

If you think there is a lot of fake news and made up/exaggerated stories about election cheating in the USA, you should come here.

Wikipedia discusses how the shennanigans were (supposedly) done in the past, and how some of the suspects managed to leave the country before it went to court.: 

The Manila Times editorial discusses. 

Remember this election will be the second BBM vs Leni bout, where the former perceives, and rightly so, that he was cheated. By all indicators, the BBM camp will never allow a Leni win, again due to cheating by Smartmatic and COMOLLECT.

A lot of red flags keep on popping up, to point out that cheating will again be perpetrated by the same culprits. In reverse we can start at the non-transparent rush printing of ballots, which is against the law.

 of course, given the strong libel law here, it might only be a matter of time until Smartmatic sues all these folks as they did to Mayor Guilliani and other bigshots at Fox news.

the usual human rights types are already demonstrating against BongBong, who they (rightly) fear will follow the lead of his father and Duterte in being overly aggressive against criminals (read "hit squads", which dispense instant "justice" against hard to convict drug pushers, but of course sometimes kill innocent folks and leftist types who are too aggressive at defending human rights).

as for my snide remarks about Cia surrogates funding Leni: if they aren't doing this, they are incompetent, since you know China is also funding a lot of stuff in this election.

However, You have to realize BBM, like Duterte, knows that the Philippines can't fight China, and with the seabeds dug up to produce artificial islands in the West Philippine sea, there is no way in hell that anything short of war or a major natural disaster will get them out of there. 

It was President Obama who told the Philippines to go to court and not be aggressive when China started digging up the seabed to make these islands, so one doubts that President Biden will go to war to stop them now. 

No matter who wins, they will have to walk on a tightrope against the Chinese carrot and stick approach to stealing our resources.

As the saying goes: when the elephants fight, the grass suffers.
