Should Bernie Sanders Go ‘Green’? Were Dem Primary Results Massaged?: ‘BradCast’ 5/27/2016

On today’s BradCast, guest hosted by Peter B. Collins of The Peter B. Collins Show, the opener is a news and comment report on President Obama’s historic visit to Hiroshima, offering good optics, but rhetoric similar to his pro-war acceptance speech for the Nobel Peace Prize. As anti-war author David Swanson points out, with the President’s plans for a $1 trillion update to our nuclear program, coupled with the news that the US nuke arsenal has barely declined during his tenure, Obama’s actions don’t seem to match his words.

Kevin Zeese recently co-authored an essay at Truthdig arguing that Bernie Sanders should switch the the Green Party and run with Jill Stein in November. Since the Democratic leadership is loyal to Hillary Clinton, Zeese argues that Sanders could hold on to many Democratic voters who supported him in the primary, while attracting independent and Green voters who could defeat Donald Trump and Clinton. (Brad’s recent interview with candidate Stein, in which she discusses these points, among many others, is posted here.)

Bob Fitrakis and Cliff Arnebeck have questions about the Democratic primary results which, they believe, differ from exit polls in 12 out of 26 states, while Republican exit polling agreed with officially reported results in almost every primary. Fitrakis is a professor, attorney, founder of the Columbus (OH) Free Press, and co-author, with Harvey Wasserman, of the new book, The Strip & Flip Selection of 2016; Arnebeck is an attorney who has handled many cases related to election manipulation.

    I am not able to download your podcast of Friday May 27 2016 from your website, as I have done in the past since I have not been able to download your podcasts using NetNewsWire. I am also not able to download your podcasts, as of May 4, using NetNewsWire – which I have been using to download your podcasts for a long time. I think something is wrong. Please look into it. Thank you KPFK. I donate approximately $500 per year. Please fix.

    I doubt Brad would have approved of all this conspiracy talk. I hope he fact checks all of it and talks about it when he gets back.

    Hey Brad, no more vacations!

    Also – I sent an earlier post – I do not see Brad Cast at the KPFK website, archive.kpfk.com, this Friday. I am not able to download your podcast using three different portals – your website, KPFK website, and NetNewsWire news reader using my iMac. Please fix.

    This is not a duplicate. The last post was not a duplicate. Please note that if the “secret code” is different, then the post is different. !

    How can we verify the claim (about halfway through the show) that, compared to exit poll data, most of the official primary results are shifted toward Clinton? It wouldn’t surprise me if it’s true, but I’ve been under the impression that the uncorrected exit poll data is locked away where nobody can see it. And in some cases the shift could be explained by early voting.

    Re: Brett @ 5.

    It is inaccurate to refer to “corrected” exit polls. The pollsters themselves refer to “adjusted” exit polls.

    It is a process that takes place only in domestic U.S. elections.

    In foreign elections, our own government (and the MSM) will refer to a significant gap between unadjusted exit polls and the official count as prima facie evidence of election fraud. In U.S. elections, the “exit polls” are “adjusted” as the vote comes in so that they will be in accord with the official count.

    The process is akin to what took place inside 1984’s fictional Ministry of Truth where inconvenient facts were incinerated inside “memory holes.”

    For most of the public, the only way to capture the “unadjusted” exit poll results is via screen shots of MSM reports of exit polling before the official results are compiled and reported.

    The only thing that’s going to save us this year is an emergency order to count the exit polls, instead of the “voting” results. If you want to adjust the voting machines to match the exit polls, knock yourselves out.

    Thanks Ernest, that makes sense, and I agree that I should have said “unadjusted” instead of “uncorrected”.

    There is absolutely zero doubt that the DNC and Clinton surrogates have blatantly stolen the primary.
    Her only chance to win the general is if Trump has a heart attack.
