1 Page 1 of 7 The Pentagon Is Manipulating the U.S. Presidential Election!! Last updated on September 14 The Pentagon has been manipulating U.S. elections for the past 50 years!! The Rockefeller owned Pentagon has been manipulating U.S. Presidential elections through foreign wars for the past 50 years. Here is a recent expose of such diabolical warmongering in order to put their "chosen one" in the White House. On August 29, 2008, Prime Minister Putin gave an interview to Matthew Chance of CNN. Prime Minister Vladimir Putin. He accused the Pentagon of orchestrating the invasion of South Ossetia to help John McCain (McPain) become President. Prime Minister Putin CNN interview. The brilliant Prime Minister of Russia barely scratched the surface when he accused the Pentagon of starting a war to put McCain in the White House. Why would the CONfederate controlled Pentagon want to "elect" a Republican presidential candidate when the Republican Party was the party of President Lincoln? The answer is simple: They want the Republicans to do their dirty work and launch a surprise nuclear attack on Russia... If people complain about their bellicose behavior, they can also point the finger at the warmongering Republicans. Of course, ever since the founding of the Pentagon on September 11, 1941, they have been controlling U.S. internal politics by causing external conflicts. Their have been many, many instances of such manipulation during the Cold War, but the most blatant was the Presidential election of Winning the Presidency requires the most ELECTORAL COLLEGE votes!! It is not enough to win the most votes to become President of the United States...A candidate must also win a majority of the STATES and thus show broad voter appeal throughout the nation. The electoral college was implemented because the small states feared that they would be overwhelmed by the larger populations in the bigger states...larger states do have more votes in the electoral college, but the system is like the world series of baseball in which winning one game is not enough... you have to win the best of seven.

2 Page 2 of 7 Top 10 electoral college states California Texas New York Florida Pennsylvania Illinois Ohio Michigan Georgia Virginia In most non-rigged elections, political parties will select a candidate from one of the above states in order to win the most electoral college votes. States with the smallest electoral college votes Alaska Delaware Montana North Dakota South Dakota Vermont Wyoming Only for very special reasons will a candidate be chosen from the above small electoral college states. Democratic Presidential candidate Barack Obama is from the state of Illinois. His Vice Presidential candidate Joseph Biden is from the small state of Delaware with only 3 electoral votes!! Senator Barack Obama from Illinois. Joseph Biden from Delaware. This is a very potent formula for throwing the election to your opponent. Senator McCain represents the state of Arizona with only 10 electoral college votes. His Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin is from the state of Alaska with only 3 electoral votes.

3 Page 3 of 7 Senator John McCain from Arizona. Governor Sarah Palin from Alaska. There has to be a very, very important reasons for choosing a candidate from a state with one of the smallest electoral votes...we think that there are 2 reasons why the Pentagon choose a candidate from the state of Alaska. 1. Alaska is the home of HAARP- High-Frequency Active Auroral Research Program. 2. Alaska has vast quantities of oil and natural gas. The only thing standing in the way of the Pentagon totally dominating the entire world is the Russian nuclear deterrent. Vast Pentagon HAARP array in Alaska is meant to neutralize the Russian nuclear deterrent. Aerial photo of the vast HAARP Alaska site. This sinister system is hooked up to the rest of the Pentagon's antimissile "defense" system surrounding Russia. HAARP antenna array. Natural gas from the limitless Alaska fields is used to generate the vast quantities of electricity needed to power this monster!! Vast quantities of oil were discovered in Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, during the energy crisis of the 1970's...The Pentagon's top priority was their top secret missile shield, so the wells were capped, and the natural gas pumped back into the ground. Blatant Pentagon manipulation during 1968 election!! In 1968, President Johnson was President of the United States and his Vice President was Hubert Humphrey. In 1968, Lyndon Johnson was President and his Vice President was Hubert Humphrey.

4 Page 4 of 7 They were DEMOCRATS, and usually the incumbents are guaranteed a second term in the White House... unless a terrible catastrophe occurs to cause them to lose the complete confidence of the people. Lyndon Baines Johnson ( ). President from Nov. 1963, to Jan Vice-President Hubert Humphrey ( ). Vice President from Jan to Jan Nelson Rockefeller was determined to become President by appointment only!! In 1967, the 25th Amendment to the Constitution was ratified by 3/4 of the states. This Amendment changed the order of succession to the Presidency by giving the President the power to appoint his Vice President. Section 2 [Vacancy in office of Vice President.] "Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall NOMINTE a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress." Just imagine the political, military, and financial control the Rockefeller empire has on the United States to be able to amend the Constitution without anybody knowing about it. By 1968, the door was open to Nelson Rockefeller to become President by appointment only. Only one problem remained: he was a Republican and Johnson was a Democrat. Nelson Rockefeller ( ). Vice President from Dec to Jan Johnson could not appoint him as his Vice President... so Johnson had to go!! Nelson Rockefeller and President Johnson in Johnson could not appoint him as his Vice President... so Johnson had to go!!

5 Page 5 of 7 We will now see how Nelson Rockefeller was able to manipulate the election and force Johnson not to run for a second term. The Tet Offensive in Vietnam!! In the crucial election year of 1968, President Johnson's troubles were legion. Not from a financial depression at home but a military disaster in Vietnam called the Tet Offensive. The Tet Offensive was a major military operation by the North Vietnamese that lasted from January 1968 to September of that same year. It was a military disaster for the Pentagon forces in Vietnam, and almost caused a revolution in the United States. Scenes like these were shown every night by the Rockefeller/Pentagon owned TV stations. Execution of North Vietnamese prisoner during Tet Offensive. Rioting and demonstrations against the war were also held in the United States. 3 military personnel kneel behind a wall at the U.S. embassy as 2 soldiers lay dead in the foreground. At the same time, protests against the war began on a massive scale in the United States. Every night during 1968, images of the Vietnam War and students rioting were shown on TV. This forced President Johnson to decide not to run for a second term. Students protesting the war at Columbia University, New York City. Rioting during the 1968 Democratic convention in Chicago. The newspapers and nighty TV were saturated with the disastrous military situation in Vietnam, and protests against the war in the United States. This forced President Johnson to decide not to run for an almost guaranteed second term. President Johnson decided not to run for a second term!! On March 31, 1968, President Johnson made the startling announcement that he would not run for President for a second term.

6 Page 6 of 7 On March 31, 1968, President Johnson made the astonishing announcement that he would not seek a second term as President. President Johnson prepares to make his no second term speech. President Johnson's no second term speech. President Johnson's decision not to seek a second term opened the way for REPUBLICAN presidential candidate Richard Nixon to become the 37th President of the United States. His Vice President was Spiro Agnew. Nixon ran on a peace platform promising to end the Vietnam War and restore domestic tranquility. Both President Nixon and Vice President Agnew were forced to resign over scandals and charges of "corruption." This prepared the way for Rockefeller for President by appointment only!! President Nixon ( ). President from '69 to '74. Vice President Spiro Agnew ( ). Vice President from '69 to '74. Vice President Agnew was forced to resign over income tax evasion charges. President Nixon was later forced to resign over Watergate. As a result of the Vietnam War, Nelson Rockefeller almost became President by appointment only. President Gerald Ford ( ). (President from 1974 to 1977). Nelson Rockefeller became the 41st Vice President. So we see how the Rockefeller dynasty used foreign wars and domestic violence to influence the Presidential
