I want to say upfront that I have worked on this story for over a year now, and it's time to get the word out over the noise. I will not be silent any more.
Once upon a time, there was an ordinary woman from Renton, Washington. She had kids, and grandkids. She had strengths and weaknesses, as all human beings do. As a publicist, she led a rather typical American life. And she had an interest, like many others, in election fraud. Long before Bev Harris became a household name to those who live 2nd lives on the internets, she had already experienced the wrath of those who make the machines, when in 2002 she received a Cease-and-Desist order from Election Systems & Software (ES&S) lawyers, after publishing public-domain information regarding Nebraska Senator Chuck Hagel's ownership in ES&S, which just happened to count all the votes that led him to "victory" in the first place, except in counties that still counted votes by hand.
Please join me, a real person, John Dean, from Santa Ana, California, in this journey.
Bev Harris really is an American hero, and in a series of diaries that I have prepared for, for over a year now, I'm going to prove it once and for all.
The story of Bev Harris and her tireless campaign against the machines could have been the story of any one of us, if only we had the spunk, determination, and courage to see things through no matter how hot the kitchen became. In her case, it's quite evident that she simply found her calling in life. True heroes like Bev are not always easy to understand. We sometimes expect them to be perfect beings, larger-than-life, when in reality they have egos and flaws and ups and downs just like you and me. But all true heroes share at least one trait that many of us lack - the ability to grab onto something, take charge of it, and never let it go no matter what...for you see, it takes a take-charge kind of person to be a hero in the first place.
But for all of Bev's accomplishments, another part of this story deserves equal attention - the neverending, uninstigated parade of lies and half-truths by people who are determined to drown out her accomplishments and awe-inspiring spirit, and detour all good Democrats from knowing the truth. I'll take on her enemies one by one, and show you things you might have had no idea of, and I'll keep hammering away no matter what until the real story is known to all who care.
Like Caesar, Bev became surrounded by enemies - both right wingers who didn't really give a damn about election fraud research, and far-left conspiracy theorists who believe anything that clever right-wingers posing as liberals manipulate them into swallowing. Please do not let the Andy Stephenson sympathy factor detour you from the search for the real truths in this story...well-intentioned people can be manipulated into doing all sorts of things, and I believe I will prove that Andy was both a villain and a victim of sorts, in a far different way than some would have you believe.
I'll resume this series soon, with literally hundreds of links and evidence to bolster my beliefs.
Sincerely,
John Dean
