What does Crimea and Global Warming Alarmists have in Common?
It's that magical and fraudulent "97%" reported number while reality is totally different.
The website of the âPresident of Russiaâs Council on Civil Society and Human Rightsâ posted a blog that was quickly taken down as if it were toxic radioactive waste. According to the Councilâs report about the March referendum to annex Crimea, the turnout was a maximum 30%. And of these, only half voted for annexation â meaning only 15 percent of Crimean citizens voted for annexation.
The fate of Crimea, therefore, was decided by the 15 percent of Crimeans, who voted in favor of unification with Russia (under the watchful eye of Kalashnikov-toting soldiers).
The 'official' Crimean election results, as reported widely in the Western press, showed a 97 percent vote in favor of annexation with a turnout of 83 percent. No international observers were allowed. This pro-Russia election pressure would have raised the already weak vote in favor of annexation.
To make sure no one misses this:
Official Kremlin results: 97% for annexation, turnout 83 percent, and percent of Crimeans voting in favor 82%.
Presidentâs Human Rights Council results: 50% for annexation, turnout 30%, percent of Crimeans voting in favor 15%.
