Mexico: Video of Blue-Shirt-Guy stuffing a ballot box

Mon, 07/10/2006 - 8:59pm — lambert

[UPDATE Too big for YouTube. Working on that. Anyone know of some FREE video editing software on Mac OS X that will work on *.wmv files?]

[UPDATE 2 Thanks to Sean Paul, who hosted the video that YouTube wouldn't.]

[UDPATE 3 IFE has responded to the video. See the comments below.]

Hold it! Smile!

Watch for "Blue Shirt Guy" at 1:10. Here's what he looks like:

Now, to be fair--and at The Mighty Corrente Building we are always so fair that a Department of Fairness isn't even needed--the provenance of this video is not known.

We got the link from the most excellent Charles and downloaded it from the Obrador site, and they got it from ... A video-literate mole in the Calderon campaign?

However, I believe, though I'm not sure (not being a Spanish reader) that videos like this are part of the Obrador filing.

Help Corrente ...

The text of HR676 (Medicare For All) as PDF (30 pages). The FAQ. Compare HR3200 with HR676.

Medicare for All would save $350 billion a year (study in New England Journal of Medicine).

In 2003, a young Illinois state senator named Barack Obama told an AFL-CIO meeting, "I am a proponent of a single-payer universal healthcare program*." -- Bill Moyers.

02:24:14 Jeff W Elizabeth Warren on the economy on PBS's NOW: you can watch it online here: [url] "If [Congress] gets it wrong, the country we knew is gone."
17:52:53 Davidson So, of course they're not going to show the truth about boxing her in from the beginning.
17:51:57 Davidson Yeah, that was just a comment in general, like, "Not even the RBC decision warranted scrutiny."
15:38:02 lambert That's not the RBC meeting, though. That's the smoking gun, beyond "Smart politics" (Wolfson).
14:17:16 Davidson Notice how everyone still avoids exposing the RBC decision
14:16:04 Davidson Can someone do a post on this? [url]
10:04:26 lambert Jeff, thanks. Fixed.
