when a person of chawla's sterling reputation for fairness and integrity -- a veritable marcus aurelius. he is -- vouches for the EVMs, then all of doubting thomases must surely slink away, tail between our legs and ashamed of ourselves for doubting a process presided over such a paragon of virtue.
not!
and who says these were stand-alone machines? can chawla prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that there were no remote-controllable radio-knowledgeable chips swapped in?
who makes the chips, the operating system, the circuit boards, etc? why is there no transparency about them?
sorry, me bad. how could i doubt that the illustrious chawla (prior claim to fame: authorized biography of m. teresa, one of the most corrupt people on earth) and his assurances?

Reprogrammed EVMs (with date/time stamping) vulnerable for tampering.
Introduction of time-stamping programs in EVMs make the machines vulnerable for tampering
Chief Election Commissioner Chawla in his remark of June 23, 2009, does NOT refer to the fact that the EVMs control systems were modified in January 2009 to introduce time-date stamping.
A total of about 13,60,000 EVMs were used in the 2009 polls in 828,000 polling booths.
OF these, 180,000 EVMs supplied by BEL and ECIL were EVMs with improvised program features for date/time stamping. The news report seems to indicate that this improvised program was NOT incorporated in ALL the 13,60,000 EVMs. This means that machines with different program features were used in different polling booths.
On the introduction of the date/time stamp improvised program modification
This changes the nature of the EVMs from 'stand-alone' machines which Navin Chawla claims 'Cannot be manipulated'.
Starting time and date have to be external inputs in to the Programmable Read Only Memory (PROM) and then alone the EVMs (Balloting units) can continue to maintain the time clock. Any number of manipulations could have been made in the chip which contained this time-stamping program. What internal and external auditing procedures were adopte by EC to ensure that the new machines supplied in January 2009 did in fact function as per the specifications prescribed by the EC?

Plea against Chidambaram election :

EVM Fraud for sure. Just think:
CEC and elections officers dont know their elbow from their backhole about IT and electronics, they will simply sign on the dotted line and go home to their wives and cry on their shoulders how helpless they are. I wish CECT Seshan (aka Alsastian) was in charge, he would have gotten to the bottom of this. Rest all policitcal appointees mouthing congress spin. (chawla)
These machines are stored under CRPF protection and programmed by "badge wielding" programmers (ahem).
So machines are pre programmed depending ow where they go (serial #) right here in delhi itself. The "correct" machines are sent to the "correct" constituencies. (EXAMPLE DMK sending the appropriate evm to Vaiko's constinuencies, all serial marked, and the appropriate election staff will also be "posted" in these sensitive constituencies to "take care" of "business" ie keep an eye)
Why did Maran (who is the king of IT, read EVM fraud setup) join hands with his uincle Karaunanithi at the last minute before the polls? because they have Rs20,000 crore each (Maran family, and Karunanidhi family EACH) to protect.
CRPF will "protect" all EVMs as instructed, including all the preprogrammed EVMS to "sensitive" constituencies. People will see the gun wielding sealed security bandbast from CRPF and believe everything is fair. That is like putting goodas in a ladies hostel locking and securing the outerdoors with security, so people from outside think the girls must be safe, see there is security outside!!)
I think DMK even fooled congress in the EVM fraud (Maran) -- tht is why they even tried to kill P Chandambaram';s election --- but PC and his son saved the election at the last minutes, with new EVMS prepolled for PC) Parallel frauds and game within game going on)
Mind you, in order to not make the WHOLE THING suspect, Congress and allies will only win ENOUGH to hold power, not try to og overboard. This is also a part of the election stealing agenda.
Not everyone in the parties know this EVM fraud (obviously). except Sonia, Maran, Rahul, KAruna etc etc) NO WONDER lesser party officials kept expressing "SURPRISE" at the results, while the top frauders were smugly mouthing grandoise reasons for the victory.
EVMS should be banned completely, even at the cost of paper and ink waste.
Otherwise the same partities will continue to win (the chances of the fight among thioeves is always there, but iunlikely -- too much money is involved) for exam[ple. see the congress-dmk severe strains in the relationship, but the relationship itself did not break.
NO EVMS, or we are doomed to fraud by the smooth, sophisticated political elite.
Subj: Confronting the conversion problem
1.
Each Friday night after work, Santa Singh would fire up his outdoor grill and cook a tandoori chicken and some meat kebabs.
But, all of his neighbours were strict Catholics ... and since it was Lent, they were forbidden from eating chicken and meat on a Friday.
The delicious aroma from the grilled meats was causing such a problem for the Catholic faithful that they finally talked to their Priest.
The Priest came to visit Santa, and suggested that he become a Catholic. After several classes and much study, Santa attended
Mass ... and as the priest sprinkled holy water over him, he said, "You were born a Sikh, and raised a Sikh, but now dear, you are a Catholic."
Santa's neighbors were greatly relieved, until Friday night arrived.
The wonderful aroma of tandoori chicken and meat kebabs filled the neighborhood. The Priest was called immediately by the neighbors and, as he rushed into Santa's backyard, clutching a rosary and prepared to scold him, he stopped and watched in amazement.
There stood Santa, holding a small bottle of holy water which he carefully sprinkled over the grilling meats and chanted:
"Oye, you waz born a chicken, and you waz born a lamb,
you waz raised a chicken, and you waz raised a lamb
but now dears.... you are a potato and tomato"!!!
-- Singh is King...
2. My Take:
If you want to confront the straight-out shameless-hypocrisy of Christianity, then that is the way to do it.
