More proof the Obama regime is behind election fraud. The United Nations, and the Obama regime puppet candidate Abdullah Abdullah, demanded the boss of the Independent Election Commission (IEC) resign, or they wouldn’t recognize the election results. Well, Obama got what he wanted, Ziaulhaq Amarkhil resigned as IEC boss, which guarantees the results will be rigged. And here’s the really worrisome thing, even Hamid Karzai wanted to see the IEC boss leave! It looks like Amarkhil is being used as a scapegoat, as all election fraud is now being blamed on him. An Independent Electoral Complaints Commission investigation just cleared Amarkhil of all election fraud charges.
The Afghan parliament is considering blocking Facebook, saying election violence is being spurred by comments posted on Facebook. The UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan slipped up and revealed that social media can be used to commit election fraud, by inciting mob violence: “There has been a disturbing tone in some social media platforms, and we urge supporters of the candidates in the Afghan Presidential elections to refrain from inflammatory statements, hate speech or statements which promote divisive ethnic mobilization. This includes rhetoric that brings back memories of tragic, fratricidal, factional conflicts in the 1990s that cost the lives of tens of thousands of civilians.”-Ján Kubiš, UNAMA
