Meet Denmark's VoteMan: Using Sex & Violence To Get Out The Vote For EU Elections

Most people have no idea what government is about. As Bill Bonner notes, they think it is a benign institution, designed to make life better for everyone. “The government is all of us,” said Hillary Clinton, talking her book. This myth helps keep the voters and the taxpayers in line.

Some governments, desperate to get more “buy in” from the public, even insist eligible voters go to the polls – or face penalties.

Other countries, such as the US, merely excite the voters with dreams of avarice and threats of sanctions. One group votes because it hopes to score more of another group’s money. The other group votes to protect itself.

Among “get out the vote” campaigns, Denmark’s recent cartoon for the European parliamentary elections (by all accounts a snooze-fest) must set a new milestone in the history of democratic fraud and absurdity.

As The Financial Times reports:

The 90-second video features “Voteman,“ a muscleman first seen in bed with five naked women who then proceeds to beat up young people to force them to vote. He then decapitates one man, interrupts a couple having sex to throw them out of a window, and uses a dolphin to help chuck people into voting booths.”

The Danish parliament withdrew the video on Tuesday.

Politicians want you to vote so they can claim to represent you. Then they do what they want. Like any other organization, government promotes the goals of those who control it. In that sense, it is no different from the Kiwanis International club or the electric power company. Every business, club or charitable institution is meant to do something – and always and everywhere it does what the people running it want done.

Can't help but notice the brown chick in Voteman's menage appears to be giving him a blow job.  Putting her in that subservient position is clearly racist by any American university faculty's standards.

 

On the other hand, All Power to Voteman.

Just in case you think Voteman is a one off Danish sex video:

Friggin hilarious. Loved when he pulled the stars off the flag and used them as throwing stars. And props to his head butting dolphin

America doesn’t need a Voteman. But what she could use is a Candidate Man, a powerful figure that would crunch the candidates the two political parties offer up—the Bushes, the Clintons, the Romneys and McCains, the Gores and the Bidens…  Just to say the names is to demonstrate America’s tragedy.

Perhaps the last candidate with some independence was Ron Paul. The fact that fraud was used to keep him away from the nomination, and cover up who his real enemies were -- the supporters of the Federal Reserve -- just demonstrates how controlled the flow of candidates offered is in the U.S.

The approved list of candidates is first brought forth but then the lowest denominator for the electorate must be enticed to take its pick from the chosen of the group. Consider that Voteman is a government-produced travesty,  and if the ads directed toward America's young people for Obamacare are an example, it is not too difficult to imagine that sex-laden, pornographic get-out-the-vote ads are in America’s future.

And it’s not just the sex and the porno that's used to get out the uninformed; it’s the issues. Did you hear the issues Voteman was concerned about: climate regulations, ag subsidies, chemicals in toys, and the amount of cinnamon allowed in his cinnamon buns. No mention of immigration, staying in the euro, the increasing debt brought by the central bank, or loss of sovereignty.

In short, the ad was designed to get the attention of the lowest information voter, "to get hip," and get out and make his choice for global governance.

Occupy movement should have founded a political party. Te party should form a separate political party.

The more parties, the harder are they to control.

You can still make a difference in smaller local elections.  Mayors, sheriffs, school boards and dog catchers affect our daily lives, and some have not been corrupted yet.  National elections, and especially the upcoming EU elections, should be avoided.

I am voting for an anti-euro party, to give them the creeps.
