"Lies"

The best lies are the ones that contain mostly truth, but with a subtle twist that hides the deception.

Satan tempted Eve, "Die? You will not die. If you eat the forbidden fruit you will become like God, knowing good and evil."

Satan was subtly correct: Eve did not die... immediately. And she did become like God in the sense that she then understood good and evil. Sadly, she then became ashamed and began to hide her nakedness... a magnificent form created by God. When mankind fell, we lost a lot and creation suffered greatly for it.

When our officials tell us that "The machines are not connected to the internet," they are sort of telling the truth.

They communicate using cell phones.
They communicate with bluetooth.
They communicate on "secure networks."
They communicate via thermostats and cell phone hotspots.

Just have a look at the contracts for the purchase of the machines, and the machine specs. You will see that the machines CAN connect to the internet.

And they do. We know. Lots of ways.

Well, I am fed up with politicians who lie to us by subtly tinkering with "what the definition of is is."

You need to be fed up to, because this isn't the only lie they are telling us. And as long as we permit them to use systems that are so complex and convoluted that those operating the machines and running the elections don't even understand what they are doing, we will be vulnerable to massive hacking of our elections.

Lies. Subtle lies.

And because we tolerate them, we are paying massive consequences.
