You'd be surprised how easy it is! Almost as easy as stealing U.S. elections with mail-in ballots, fractional-reserve dollars created out of thin air, monopoly media and unauditable, touch-screen voting machines!
Etienne Note: This article leads with the story of when I tried to buy my son his first student council election, but it has a much deeper meaning with respect to the mid-term elections next week. The elections are so easily (and OBVIOUSLY rigged) by moneyed interests that it makes the whole concept of "democracy" a sick joke. The desirability of "democracy" is being sold through the "Brute Force Manufactured Consensus" of the organized crime banks and "government's" mandatory schools and monopoly media. It's a fool's game! Please forward this to your friends, family and colleagues before they get tricked into participating and legitimizing the illegitimate system that keeps them trapped in the sucker's game of "voting harder" in rigged elections!
Years ago, one of my kids wanted to run for student council… When he announced it, I laughed and told him two stories:
- The Ridiculousness of “Student Government” - Ed Crane, the founder of the Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank, used to tell the story of running for student government while attending the University of California - Berkley on a platform of eliminating “student government.” One of his arguments was that it was ridiculous on its face. While student-athletes and student-musicians are really athletes and musicians, “student government” is a completely pretend position. It has no real authority or mandate beyond deciding how to spend a token budget on pizza parties and events. The decisions of “student government,” whether at the elementary, high school or college level, can be immediately revoked at any time. It is all pretend and simply instituted by the government’s mandatory schools and rip-off universities to indoctrinate the kids into an easily rigged system that is actually against their own interests.
- How Incredibly Easy It Is to Rig a Student Government Election (or ANY election!) - When I was in high school, I watched one of my classmates (Fox News Political Commentator Hal Lambert) consciously or unconsciously buy/rig a high school election by giving away nachos to all the prospective voters.

I didn’t understand the dynamics and behavioral psychology until years later, but a well-understood psychological phenomenon is reciprocity. If someone gives you something, even something small, it creates a psychological obligation to give that person something back. That's why non-profits include a penny or return-address label in their mailings. It doubles the response rate. It is also one reason it’s so hard to oust incumbent Congressional critters who have paid staff members known as “Constituent Services” who do nothing but solve Tax Slave… I mean…err.. Tax Payer problems with the regulatory and welfare agencies.

I explained to my son how Hal Lambert had brought in a nacho cart (chip warmer, nacho cheese pump, etc.) and gave out nachos on election day and, whether someone had explained the behavioral psychology to him or not, won the election vs. an opponent who didn’t go out and artificially induce reciprocity in hundreds of potential voters.
So… as I am telling my son this story… I get an epiphany…
I decide to buy my son his first election!
So I announced the plan to my son, and we began planning how we would steal the election, what we would give away, etc.
Anyway… Mom overhears all this and comes storming out of the kitchen and announces: “You will do NO such thing! That is the exact wrong message to send to a child”
I laugh and reply, “NO, that is the exact information a child needs to understand about “government”!

Sheep tricked into “voting” in rigged elections where both candidates will steal 50% of their income, support the economic warfare of lockdowns, and force “vaccines” on them and their children!

That “government” is a dumb idea! It is easily rigged by moneyed interests… potentially since the very founding itself… and the techniques, like understanding and being willing to exploit the behavioral psychology of reciprocity, and many other techniques that I cover in my book To See the Cage is to Leave It - 25 Techniques the Few Use to Control the Many, are constantly used to sway elections and control populations.
So… the best lesson you can teach your kids and their classmates about “government,” besides its immorality and illogical nature, is how easily moneyed interests, bad actors, or even kids with a basic understanding of behavioral psychology can rig elections.
How to Help Your Kids Steal/Rig Their Student Council Elections
IMPORTANT: We suggest helping steal the election only as an educational and intellectual exercise for your kids and their classmates. After the election, your child should explain to his teacher and classmates how and why they stole the election AND, for extra credit, explain the immorality, illegitimacy, and illogical nature of “government” right before they renounce their seat.
Bennie Smith, an Election Commissioner in Shelby County, TN, testifies to the Senate on how easy it is to rig computerized voting machines by hacking the central tabulator.
Most U.S. elections appear rigged using unauditable, touch-screen “black box” voting machines, where the voting software’s “central tabulators” change final vote totals over the organized-crime government’s back-door network.
OR
The 2022 documentary 2000 Mules exposes how cell phone data tracked thousands of “ballot mules” dropping off ballots during the 2020 election.
OR using unauditable mail-in ballots where anyone can drop off ballots at a drop box without any ID check.


These options are, obviously, unavailable to your teens, so they will have to resort to more traditional means. Here are some tried-and-true tricks used to rig elections for centuries.
Reciprocity - Already discussed above. Have your child distribute a small gift to as many students as possible. My son and I had decided specifically NOT to use “drug foods,” I.E., candy, soda, etc. We had decided on popcorn before Mom nixed the idea.
Disparity of Campaign Funds - Just as organized crime banks (and sovereign countries like Israel through AIPAC) influence U.S. elections, you can give your kids a couple hundred bucks to spread around. Have him hire “influencers” among his classmates, buy a ridiculous amount of posters, or even buy votes outright by paying off certain kids in the class.
Bribery - Two Options:
- Bribe the teacher counting the votes - The murderous communist Joseph Stalin aptly noted: "I regard it as completely unimportant who in the party will vote and how, but it is extremely important who will count the votes and how." Explain to the teacher what you are doing and why, and see if they will participate for a token payment.
- Bribe Your Opponent to Drop Out - Why gamble $25 on posters when you can guarantee victory by paying your opponent $25 to drop out?
Stuff the Ballot Box - See if you and your confederates in class can “palm” 3-4 extra ballots when going to vote, or intercept the ballot box between voting and counting.
Split the Vote Strategically - Pay/Recruit/Flatter another candidate to enter the race who will siphon more votes from your competitor than you. Example: Say you are a boy, and your competitor is a girl; recruit another girl to enter the race and pull votes from your competitor. Many historians believe Teddy Roosevelt was recruited to enter the 1912 election to split votes from William Howard Taft and throw the election to Woodrow Wilson, who then sold out the country to the bankers with the Federal Reserve Act.
Blackmail and Political Assassination - We are definitely NOT suggesting you use these techniques in a middle school, high school or university election, BUT explain to your kids that these are options for the organized crime system that uses “government” to rob and control populations. Political commentator Roger Stone has accused Hilary Clinton of being behind the airplane crash that killed John F. Kennedy Jr., who was going to compete for the same Senate seat as Clinton. JFK Jr.’s death was one of DOZENS of suspicious deaths surrounding the Clintons that included fundraisers, bodyguards, investigative journalists, and others.
Post Script - My Son’s Election
So, after Mom nixed me buying my son’s election, he told me an interesting story about the outcome. One student running for president actually did end up distributing drugs.. err, “candy”… to the students in my son’s class. The candidate had given over half the students in class candy before the teacher noticed, had him stop and collected the candy that hadn’t already been eaten. The teacher should have “spoilt” the election right there, but in true “government” school fashion, let the election go on, and the student who distributed the candy was elected class president.
Interestingly, Hal Lambert went on to be a political commentator for organized crime FOX News that has lied to the public about what really happened on 9-11, Kuwaiti babies thrown out of incubators, WMDs in Iraq, the Oklahoma City Bombing, the Boston Marathon Bombing, Sandy Hook, and other propaganda crimes.
While Hal and I are arguably the most prominent political commentators out of our class, he refuses to debate me on the legitimacy of “government” or the obvious criminality of the current political system. Instead, he spent his time shilling for Jeffrey Epstein’s buddy Trump, who helped trick the population into the Covid “vaccines” that are now responsible for over 13 million deaths globally.
