      Mexico left names own "president"

      Posted by Jeff from Yahoo News!

      Is this how you fight election fraud...one way perhaps? Mexican leftists, who say the July 2 election was stolen, declared their candidate their "legitimate president" on Saturday, a symbolic move reducing the risk of street protests to make the country ungovernable.

      Mexican court names winner in disputed election

      Posted by Billbar from CNN

      Felipe Calderon became president-elect of Mexico on Tuesday, two months after a disputed election, when the nation's top electoral court voted unanimously to reject allegations of fraud and certify his narrow victory. Tuesday's long-awaited ruling by the Federal Electoral Tribunal -- which came two months, three days and tens of thousands of pages of legal challenges after voters cast their ballots -- was unlikely to end potentially explosive protests or close the growing political divide gripping the country. Calderon, staying out of sight at the ruling party offices, now must win over millions of Mexicans angry that President Vicente Fox didn't make good on promises of sweeping change -- and fend off thousands of radicalized leftists who say they will stop at nothing to undermine his presidency.

    • Mexico's Conservative Near Win as Court Backs Vote

      Posted by Billbar from Truth Out

      Mexico's top electoral court threw out leftists' allegations of massive fraud in last month's presidential election on Monday, handing almost certain victory to conservative candidate Felipe Calderon. Supporters of left-wing candidate Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador have paralyzed Mexico City with protests this month and he has vowed to make Mexico ungovernable if the court declares Calderon the winner of the country's most bitterly contested election in modern history.

    • Protesters Take Over Oaxaca, Mexico

      Posted by j1o2n3a4s5 from Truth Out

      Here in Mexico, ive noticed a love for politics. When I lived stateside, very few people were actually interested, they’d read a 5 page car review of the new Corvette, but cant manage to read a small article in the paper. Materialism and disengagement at work.

    • Mexicans' medical bills paid with friends' blood

      Posted by Jeff from Seattle Times

      The little bag of blood Ruiz had just given up would pay for the Caesarean section that made his friend a father, and it was part of an elemental ritual of life here. In Mexico, patients who have no health insurance or who are covered by bare-bones government plans are required to recruit two to six blood donors — friends, relatives, even total strangers — in order to receive free or discounted medical care.

    This could also emerge as a serious revolution in the making.

    3 Border police beheaded 3 weeks ago. Media doesn't cover story.

    there's another site covering this story called Plantek. But, they blame "the liberal media"...in spite of the fact that Fox and known conservative outlets also didn;t cover the story

    In Mexico, 2.5 Million Missing Votes Reappear

    Candidatos Presidenciales: Andr?Manuel L? Obrador: 36.51 % Felipe Calder?34.74 % Roberto Madrazo: 22.2 % Patricia Mercado: 2.71 % Roberto Campa: 0.94 % Margin: Obrador up by 1.79% Commentary: Manuel Camacho Solis of the Obrador campaign told reporters today that the IFE held back Calderon precincts until the very last, and that he expected the results to shift. A PAN spokesman accused the PRD of slowing down the counting in Calderon country. The PRD - although in the lead for the entire day - still insists it wants a full hand-count of all the votes. The PAN - although trailing all day - still opposes a full hand-count. Here is another indication of suspicious activity: the tallies for Madrazo, Mercado and Campa have remained the same ALL DAY. Even when Obrador's numbers began to shift, theirs did not. Spooky, eh? Meanwhile, if after watching a consistent result for the first 70 percent or so of the tallying, the public finds it suspicious that the tallies are suddenly shifting, watch for that pain and rage to explode very, very shortly.

    In Mexico, 2.5 Million Missing Votes Reappear

    IFE employee Loar Cibac Pereira S?hez in one of the electoral agency's regional offices (in Saltillo, Coahuila) confirms that on Sunday night, as he was entering election results into the IFE PREP system computers, his boss, Jos?uis Fern?ez Mier, "ordered him to enter the vote tallies favorable to Calderon Hinajosa and threatened to transfer him to a rural office if he didn't obey." "The young man said that a strange blackout occured in the district IFE office, and when the light returned the results in the computer had changed and the PAN was then in the lead. He also said that when he was leaving alone he found some garbage cans outside the building with blank precinct and computer forms."

    IFE were caught red-handed in a big lie: their knowingly false claim that the preliminary results system had tabulated %u201C98.5 percent%u201D of the vote when, in fact, the IFE had hidden 3.3 million (more than seven percent) of the precinct tallies from public view.
