Free Radicals.

A Muslim man kills 49 because the internet said so. ISIS propaganda gave him permission and the local gun store sold him the equipment. It’s all worryingly similar to my recent purchase of a Hitachi cordless drill from Screwfix. The only difference being marketing good, propaganda bad, but they’re pretty well the same side of the same coin. I begin to wonder, am I giving up my decision making to Google’s algorithms of what’s right for me? But then Google is far more benign than Islamic terrorists- because we live in a western democracy don’t we: Sorry, don’t we? Try Googling ‘California election fraud.’ Apparently California uses electronic voting machines. You press your voting button and it adds them all up and provides a result. They are guarded by men who understand this complex mathematical process. But when candidate Susan Bernecker asked to see them in the ‘90s she was amazed to find that on every machine 4 out of every 5 votes for her were being registered to her opponent. It appears the mathematics was more complex than simple addition on what might well be re-purposed one-arm-bandits. One can imagine the good old fashioned sales pitch, “So how much would you like to win the election by?” It appears allegedly that this and other ruses have been used by the Clinton camp to ‘adjust’ Bernie Saunders substantial poll lead into a substantial election win for Clinton. It appears ISIS aren’t the only radicals around, but at least no one died. Well apart from the democratic process.
