American Coup: The Story Of America's Compromised Voting Machinery In A TV Documentary
- "In 2002, Seattle grandmother and writer Bev Harris asked officials in her county why they had acquired electronic
touch screen systems for their elections…. In the course of her research, which unearthed hundreds of reported incidents
of mishandled voting information, Harris stumbled across an "online library" of the Diebold Corporation, discovering a
treasure trove of information about the inner-workings of the company's voting system. Harris brought this proprietary
"secret" information to computer security expert Dr. Avi Rubin of Johns Hopkins University [Scoop Editor's Note: VIA A SOFTWARE RELEASE ANNOUNCED ON SCOOP.CO.NZ - Sludge Report #154 – Bigger Than Watergate! [1] ], who determined that the software lacked the necessary security features to prevent tampering. " Hacking Democracy Doco On HBO [2]

China: Emma Moore From China On The Hell Chinese Kids Call Exams
- In Japan they call it juken jigoku or “examination hell”. Starting with their mothers playing Mozart CDs to fire up
their unborn children’s neurons, Japanese children’s lives are often focused exclusively on passing a series of
increasingly important exams. The Japanese have long gone to extraordinary lengths to ensure their children get into a
‘good’ a university in order to land the ‘good’ job this will most likely lead to. In China, some pregnant women go even
further. See... Emma Moore: China’s Education Hell [1]
WMDs: Bush Admin Sticks Nuclear Secrets On The Web In Arabic!
- The New York Times headline for Friday reads, "US Web Archive Is Said to Reveal a Nuclear Primer." Bad enough all by
itself, true, but this headline does not entirely convey the insane and astonishing and absurd and awful realities
behind this story. "Last March," begins the article, "the federal government set up a Web site to make public a vast
archive of Iraqi documents captured during the war. The Bush administration did so under pressure from Congressional
Republicans who had said they hoped to 'leverage the Internet' to find new evidence of the prewar dangers posed by
Saddam Hussein." See... William Rivers Pitt: You're Kidding Me, Right? [1] MORE: New York Times - Bush Admin. Put Nuclear Secrets in Arabic on Web [2]
Mexico: Julie Webb-Pullman Reports From Protests In Oaxaca
- As the caravana of suporters from Mexico Federal District (DF) left the Hemiciclo yesterday at noon for Oaxaca,

US Midterms: Rosalea Barker Sails Onwards To Election 2006
- The phrase "San Francisco politics" is being used as a bogey-man these mid-term elections as a way of scaring voters
away from electing a Democratic majority in the House. Should the Democrats prevail, the new House Leader would be Nancy
Pelosi of San Francisco. See... Stateside With Rosalea: San Francisco Politics [1]
