Just who are the Nevadans who keep re-electing him? It has to be stuffing the ballot box.

Questions of Voting Fraud in Support of Sen. Harry Reid’s Re-election
Posted in Corruption Harry Reid with 1 comment
Although we don’t have any other information regarding this particular situation regarding pre-marked ballots for Harry Reid, what is known is that there have been countless” attempts particularly by far-left groups including those funded by George Soros and ACORN to perpetrate high volume voter fraud. This is a very serious problem which can have the effect of “disenfranchising” millions of voters on the right side of the aisle.
We must remain highly suspicious and vigilant.
Nevada Voters Say Reid’s Name Checked for Them on Touch-Screen Ballots
October 26, 2010 | FoxNews.com
Voters in one Nevada city are complaining that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s name was already checked when they went to cast their ballots in early voting Monday, according to Fox5Vegas.com.
Voters in Boulder City said they were trying to vote for Republican nominee Sharron Angle, but that Reid’s name was checked when they got to the electronic voting machines.
“Something’s not right,” voter Joyce Ferrara told the network, saying several people reported the same problem. “One person that’s a fluke. Two, that’s strange. But several within a five-minute period of time — that’s wrong.”
A Clark County voting official said highly sensitive touch-screens may be to blame and that fraud is not the issue.

“...Republican Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval denounced the BLM for its heavy-handed tactics,..”

I notice he didn’t send any State Police to help Mr. Bundy.

“Denouncing” isn’t enough. Send people to help, then we’ll know which side you’re on.

“...A Macho-man junior-high-school Progressive at work or some guy just trying to to his job?...”

Since it was such a stupid thing to say, in a situation already volatile, I’d put money on the “macho-man junior progressive”.

I hope the people of Nevada who showed to help the Bundys remember this guy’s name and face.

Sounds like Reid needs more than impeachment.

They need to host a necktie party with him as the guest of honor.

.....news reports say Sen Harry Reid and his son Rory are involved with the Chi/Coms to bring Chinese solar operations to the Nevada desert. If Senator Reid is using his privileged Senate position, government power and connections to aid the BLM in its threatening actions against American citizens, then Sen Reid needs to be ejected from the U.S. Senate.....

This may or may not be connected to the Solar Panel venture---but the energy connection pops out at you....as does the Clintons' connection to terrorism, and to China.

=============================================

HARRY REID IS LIVID THAT HIS GRAND-DAUGHTER HAS BEEN OUTED AS A RECIPIENT OF LAUNDERED CAMPAIGN CASH---Reid lashed out at reporters, saying, “My granddaughter has been the target of harassing phone calls, strangers tracking her down, knocking on her door and negative, unwanted attention on the Internet.” “This has gone too far and it needs to stop now,” Reid said. “I deeply regret any role I had in creating this situation but now, as a grandparent, I say enough is enough.”

============================================

Besides the "jewelry company" financed by her grandfather, Ryan Elisabeth Reid runs the Sprat Theater Company, a small theater in Brooklyn, which is also coming under scrutiny. According to Sprat’s Theatre Company Web site, it has received grants/contributions from:

<><> the Clinton Global Initiative (connected to global terrorism via Muslim Brotherhood employee),
<><> two major Las Vegas foundations:
Caesar’s Foundation, and the NV Energy Foundation.

NOTE NV Energy Foundation---is a non-profit division of NV Energy (a public utility). The NV Energy utility is a subsidiary of MidAmerican Energy Holdings Company which took over in 2013.

NEED TO KNOW Did Harry Reid use US government power, US govt agencies, his Senate office, and/or tax resources to enrich any of the above-named energy-related entities?

=================================================

NEED TO KNOW Did Harry Reid use US government power, US govt agencies, his Senate office, and/or tax resources to enrich the multiple corporations connected to tax-exempt Caesar's Foundation? Did any of its principles, trustees and staff contribute to Harry Reid?

Caesar's Foundation Trustees

Chair Janet Beronio

Vice-Chair Jan Jones

Trustee Diane Wilfong

Trustee Tom Jenkin

Trustee Fred Keeton

Trustee Dan Nita

Trustee John Payne

Caesar's Foundation Staff

Executive Director Thom Reilly

Administrator Judi Brown

Secretary / Legal Scott Wiegand

Treasurer Torben Cohrs

Community Affairs Gwen Migita

=========================================

email: enforcement @SEC.gov

==================================================

The SEC and IRS should examine every document filed by (a) The Clinton Global Initiative, (b) Caesar's Foundation and (c) The NV Energy Foundation.

Every official tax-exempt document needs to be scrutinized in conjunction w/ possible connections to Harry Reid. /

Perjury, forgery, govt fraud, and voter fraud need to be considered. For example: people may have been coached to lie on voter registration forms, and perhaps candidacy papers falsified.

Falsifying Official Public Documents involves altering, changing, or modifying a document for the purpose of deception.......can also involve forgery and/or passing copies of false documents. Falsifying documents is usually done in connection with broader criminal aims, such as extortion, government fraud, tax evasion, money laundering, financing terrorism........

================================================

BTW, here's Harry w/ his grand-daughter....the one who got $31,000 in laundered campaign funds for her (ahem) "jewelry company."

Reid and granddaughter Ryan Elisabeth Reid.
Photo: UPI (left) and Instagram (right).

So if you see Ryan on the street, be nice, and say hello.

Latest reports have Harry's son, Rory Reid, threatning The Bundys w/ prosecution. We also hear Rory Reid represents the Chinese Solar Panel company that wants the Bundy land.

Mmmmmm....methinks Rory and Harry are gonna be real sorry they are in bed w/ the Chi/Coms. It's gonna get v-e-r-y nasty, guys.

============================================

We don't need to steenken' AG Dummycrat ***-protector to get to the bottom of this.

Under the Bank Secrecy Act, passed by Congress, banks are required to establish, implement and maintain programs designed to detect and report suspicious activity indicative of money laundering and other financial crimes.

“The Bank Secrecy Act was enacted to protect the public from harm by identifying and detecting money laundering from criminal enterprises, terrorism, tax evasion or other unlawful activities,” the special agent in charge for Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation, explained.

==================================================

L/E needs to examine the Reid bank accounts used to finance the Solar Panel business.

NOTE WELL The "Bank Secrecy Act" was passed to protect the public from harm by identifying and detecting criminal enterprises, money laundering, tax evasion, national security breaches, global terrorism, or other unlawful activities.

Under the Bank Secrecy Act, banks are required to establish, implement and maintain programs designed to detect and report suspicious activity that might be indicative of govt fraud, money laundering, embezzlement, tax evasion, and other financial crimes.

<><> Joint Reid bank accounts might be used to facilitate the transfer of funds offshore and/or into secret LLC accounts.

<><> To cover their tracks, fake invoices might be created to show that money deposited into other accounts was being used for legitimate purposes.

The scheme might be advanced by issuing phony statements of payments that actually covered the transfer of funds for business activities (or into campaign coffers).

<><> L/E is directed to get ahold of Reid's: (1) check copies, (2) wire transfers, (3) account statements, (4) invoices, (5) bills, (6) delivery tickets, (7) correspondence including e-mail, contracts, loan agreements, and, (8) any other books or records.

L/E should also explore (a) monies Reid paid to brokers, sub-brokers, (b) family members, (c) mortgage brokers, (d) financial managers, and, (e) real estate agents, brokers, and developers.

<><> L/E should scrutinize Reid bank accounts for suspicious activites: (A) large deposits, (B) funds transferred from one account into another, (C) frequent requests for withdrawals.

<><> Bank records might also show diversions to secret LLC accounts, to operate othe4r businesses. Bank fraud can also be facilitated by withdrawals, gift cards purchases, credit card purchases and intrabank transfers from secret accounts into personal accounts.

<><> A huge tipoff is whether bank withdrawals support payments for real estate, investment and stock holdings, or campaign contributions.

Nevada taxpayers, patriots, ranchers and Bundy supporters should demand the Bank Secrecy Act be used to prosecute bank fraud pronto.

================================================

ADDENDUM Govt monies facilitated by Harry Reid may have been allocated through budget items to finance the Solar Panel venture.

Thanks for the link.

Nevada taxpayers, patriots, ranchers, and Bundy supporters should demand to see E-V-E-R-Y official document filed by Harry Reid. Documents need to be scrutinized for falsification, forgery, bank fraud, possibly govt fraud, campaign fraud and voter fraud.

Falsifying Government Documents involves altering, changing, or modifying a document for the purpose of deception.......can also involve forgery and/or passing copies of false documents. Falsifying documents is usually done in connection with broader criminal aims, such as extortion, government fraud, tax evasion, money laundering, financing terrorism........

Types of documents commonly falsified may include:
◾Tax returns and income statements
◾Personal checks
◾Bank account records
◾Business record keeping books
◾Immigration documents (such as visas, passports, etc.)
◾Identification cards and birth certificates

Many different types of acts can be considered as falsifying a document, including:
◾Altering or misrepresenting factual information such as prices or monetary amounts
◾Stating false information when requested to provide truthful statements
◾Forging a signature
◾Using official letterheads without authorization
◾Concealing assets or property WRT obtaining federal/state grants))
◾Knowingly using or distributing a fake document

A person can only be held criminally liable if they are deliberately acting with the intention of deceiving or defrauding another party.

Falsifying documents is a very serious offense and is generally classified as a felony. This means that a person charged with falsifying documents may be subject to the following legal penalties:
◾Having to pay a monetary fine
◾Incarceration in a prison facility

Depending on the gravity of the offense, as well as individual state laws, falsifying documents can result in a prison sentence of 5-10 years. Also, if government documents or authorities were involved, the legal penalties may be more severe. ..... legal penalties may increase with repeat offenses.

The penalty for falsifying government documents is outlined in the Crimes Act of 1958.

I've researched the details of this case extensively. It's as interesting to me as the NBC issue - legally speaking.

Cliven Bundy paid grazing fees to the BLM for decades before he tried to pay Clark County. When the terms of his grazing rights became unacceptable to him in 1993, he objected to the contract by refusing to file a new application for grazing rights, but he continued to graze his cattle on land that he acknowledges is not his. He disputes who should own it. My issue with him is that he raised no such issue until he was denied access to the land.

Under our current system of contract law, his cattle are trespassing on federal/public land. ( The land owner gets to decide who may enter the property. Since the BLM says the cattle can't be on the land, the cattle are trespassing- legally speaking.)

Yes, our FF were considered lawbreakers. That is not in dispute. Yes, the federal government displayed an unconscionable show of force to remove cattle. That is not in dispute. How then should Cliven Bundy resolve his differences with the BLM? That is the question - at least until another legal question is posed.

I wish we had risen up in defense of Lou Pelletier when the State of Massachusetts stole his daughter Justina from him. Maybe it’s not too late to do so. Think the feds would make a show of force to deny parents their daughter?

What we are saying is that the federal government has no business owning that land.

For one, he’s protesting the federal government “owning” something like 86% of the “public” land in Nevada. And the fact that they have driven the public OFF said public land through their anti-public, anti-liberty policies. And why are they doing this? First excuse was environmentalism. And now it’s “green” energy. But the underlying reason, as always, is pure old fashioned greed, corruption and lust for power. Politicians doing favors for well-heeled or corporate donors, even foreign entities or governments, or even flat out bribery. They did the same against logging and mining. Even recreational use of the public land. Nothing good can come out of this unconstitutional policy. Ever!

I stand 100% for the Bundys and their fellow Nevadians and the ranchers, loggers, miners, farmers, fishermen, water users, recreational users and all freedom lovers throughout the west who are being deprived of the use of their public lands and waters. The federal government should immediately return all so-called BLM lands and waterways over to the respective state governments. And that is in line with the constitution. The federales have no legal constitutional authority whatsoever to lord it over the states or the people.

Fascism must never be allowed to take root in America.

I believe you are correct. My research indicates that the federal government imposed an unconstitional requirement for statehood upon Nevada to disclaim all rights and title to the lands puchased from Mexico under the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo when it did not do so for other states. (e.g. Texas)

You know how I feel about Texas sovereignty and States’ Rights. I believe Nevada has a constitutional right to those lands.

Is it folly for me to look toward the Constitution to attempt to find support for Cliven Bundy and to find support for opposing the federal ownership of lands in Nevada? Is it as simple as a moral right versus moral wrong?

I find myself wanting to justify Cliven Bundy’s actions legally. Is that necessary?

Bundy said he attempted to make payments to the county, as he’d done in the past until the BLM unilaterally took over, but the county turned him down

hadn't heard that until now.

Capitalism is a good word, but the word cronyism isn't.

The Left loves to corrupt word usage to promote their agendas. They joined the two above terms in order to slander their great anti-communist bugaboo...capitalism.

We should call it simply "Cronyism", which is what it is. Unfortunately, the Left's Crony-MSM have been training the masses with this term for so long, that it may be difficult to wash it away.

(This is not my idea; but, for the life of me, I can't seem to find where I read it.)
