Attention! The lawlessness of power in Barish and Ot'hodniy!
September 12th, 2011, organization "Golos"
financed by American funds close to the Dept. of Foreign Affairs and the FBI
announced plans to record illegal violations during the Russian election
For this, along with the site gazeta.ru, a site was created: Map of Violations.
During the first two months of the its operation, their map of Russia ended up being covered with fat, red dots, as if our country developed a severe allergy.
Intense reporting to the site increased ten-fold compared to previous elections
Lie
soberly reported November 18th, one of the leaders of Golos, Andrei Buzin.
The secret to this powerful growth is simple: in a rush after the examples, the creators of the map completely ignored the validity of the collected facts.
Incoming reports get published on the map entirely without any verification, even if they came from an anonymous source.
Let's take a look at how reports of fraud actually get published, about which Golos then reports on their press conferences and multiple publications in Russian and Western mass media.
Let's create an imaginary city, call the operators of the map, and report that those in power and United Russia are creating mayhem.
"Hello, good afternoon, is this the map of violations that you have on the internet here? Can I report a violation?"
"I'm calling from Arkhangelsk[1] but the violation wasn't actually in Arkhangelsk"
"We're from Kotlas.. Kotlas..Kotlas..Kooootlas.."
"Yes, in this region there's a village, Barish, and my grandmother lives there."
"And I spoke to her yesterday and.... It's Arkhangelsk region.."
"Kotlas.. You'll find it quicker this way.."
"Yes, Yes."
"And my granny was telling me that they're giving out beets, potatoes and other vegetables ... a car arrived there, to that village,"
"And those people, wearing trench coats or t-shirts, saying 'United Russia', or 'for United Russia'"
"And they're giving this out for free and handing out various newspapers too, so that these old folks and people that live there can vote..they're like bribing them.."
"My name is Lena, but honestly I don't really want to give my last name.. I'm slightly afraid; I'm a student, so..."
"You're welcome, you're welcome, thank you."
So, here, as we can see that it's really easy to lie to a voter, right? You can place absolutely any B.S. and inaccurate information on the map.
The village Barish, just came to me. It doesn't exist.
Let's try to continue this scenario into the absurd and invent some story that has no bearing to reality to any rational person.
For example here: "In the city, next to almost every trash can are people wearing 'United Russia' vests and are blocking people from throwing out pamphlets with their symbols."
"When I tried to throw their pamphlets out, they caught up to me and handed it back to me, saying I should take it home, and figure out what to do with it there."
Typing: "Told me, I should go home with it. What happens after is up to me"
We are a.. voter, name is, for example, Marina.
Let's say I am.. a veterinarian.
Let's pick a random .. Stravopolskiy[2] Region, but actual place we'll invent.
Let's make it a village named.. Ot'hodniy[3].. As we're just leaving from these trash cans.
And level of elections.. So, a photo, we don't have..
For type of violation we're selecting, public propagandizing.
And sending it in! So, you've seen everything, and sending it in now.
Time now is 15:30, let's see when this information will appear on the map of violations from Golos.
Well, exactly as we expected, 5 minutes later, our report appeared on the map, and was automatically listed as an election violation.
The election process, you can confirm how we did everything, how we wrote everything, our make-belief city's right here, and all our words.
Want to know why the authors of this map are so trusting?
Why do members of the organization Golos publicly celebrate every hundred and every thousand reports like their anniversaries?
The goal here isn't just in their primary goal to delegitimize and present the Russian elections in the worst light but in deep-rooted, personal interests.
Simply, the number of total recorded cases directly influences the financing of Golos' local branches post-elections.
It's not hard to conclude that the lion's share of these tales they invent and send it in to themselves.
What next? After the elections, they will proudly report to us and to the rest of the world the grand scale of falsification, in the winner's favor.
Financed by the same external entities that finance Golos, marginal politicians will take to the streets and the mythical violations from the map will become a reason to seriously demand the reevaluation of the election results.
And along with the results, a reevaluation of the entire government structure of Russia.
This band of marginal revolutionaries and judges that help them are classic tactics of the Orange Revolution, which,
during the last decade, were organized by Americans in Serbia, Georgia, Ukraine, and within other countries.
These people, operating under democratic mottos, become in reality the primary threat, threat of Russia's sovereign democracy.
Remember this, and you, can help combat this threat!
"Golos" - is a fat troll, we don't need those kinds of "controls"! Remember this, and you, can help combat this threat!
