Is Voter Fraud Really an Issue?

Every American citizen, and especially new citizens, cherishes the right to vote for our elected officials, who we put in place to advocate for our interests and protect our liberties. Free and fair elections are critical to ensure that every citizen's vote is counted correctly and that our voice, through our vote, is heard. Electoral and voter fraud cancels out our vote, and illegally takes away our natural right to vote for our government.

Most Americans don't know the various types of voter fraud - impersonation at the polls, false registrations, duplicate voting, fraudulent use of absentee ballots, buying votes, illegal "assistance" at the polls, ineligible voting, altering the vote count, and ballot petition fraud. [1] That's quite a long list of ways that our voices, as American citizens, are taken away.

Voter fraud is often portrayed as a contentious or controversial topic, but is it really? Is there evidence that it exists?

According to reports, four States had election fraud so bad that the outcomes were overturned: North Carolina, Florida, New York and Missouri, and gives fifteen separate instances where elections were overturned. [2] Various methods of voter fraud were used, including absentee ballot fraud, submission of illegal mail-in ballots and not counting provisional ballots, bribing voters and "tampering with absentee ballots" as well as illegally "assisting" at the polling location. There are other cases that involved non-residents being coerced into voting illegally.

Other methods of voter fraud involve ballots being cast for people who are dead or who have moved out of the state, which is made possible by localities and states not regularly reviewing their voter rolls. Judicial Watch, a government watchdog group, successfully argued in court that Los Angeles County must remove from it's rolls "as many as 1.5 million inactive registered names that may be invalid." [3] The court agreed. Los Angeles County was found to have more people on its voter rolls than it had eligible to vote (112%), which is a situation tailor made for voter fraud.

Whether or not we see it, voter fraud affects every American negatively because it take our choice away from us, and gives that choice -and our voice- to someone else. Americans are fair-minded people and all of us know this is not just morally wrong, but illegal and bad for our country. We rightly decry voter and electoral fraud in other countries, but unfortunately we have it here as well, and it is not limited to one party or in one state. We can all help in our own ways, from volunteering to work at a polling station to educating our fellow citizens, to making sure our own local voter rolls are up to date and accurate.

Should George Floyd Be Put on a Pedestal?

Despite all the observances memorializing George Floyd, you may not have heard the most relevant facts. Mr. Floyd was not the innocent victim that has been portrayed. As a narcotics user, porn star, and violent felon, is he really the kind of role model we want for our children?

Cause of Death: Fentanyl and Meth

Asphyxiation was NOT the cause of Mr. Floyd's death. The Hennepin County Attorney stated that he "had underlying health conditions including coronary artery disease and hypertensive heart disease. The combined effects of [police restraint], his underlying health conditions, and any potential intoxicants in his system likely contributed to his death." [1] The medical examiner found "no life-threatening injuries". [2] Right away this undermines the police brutality narrative. The toxicology report reveals that Mr. Floyd was high on deadly narcotics at the time of death, with a fentanyl concentration of 11 ng/mL (four times a lethal dose), norfentanyl 5.6 ng/mL, methamphetamine 19 ng/mL, morphine 86 ng/mL, and marijuana metabolites. His blood also contained 4-ANPP, an impurity found in fentanyl preparations. From this, one might conclude that George Floyd killed himself!

Violent Criminal History

“What is not being told is the violent criminal history of George Floyd. The media will not air this,” police union president Bob Kroll told his members. [4] Mr. Floyd had been incarcerated for five years in 2009 for an assault and robbery, and had previously been behind bars 4 times for offenses ranging from theft with a firearm to drugs. [5]

Porn Star

Mr. Floyd also starred in numerous amateur porn videos using the name "Floyd The Landlord." [3]

Meanwhile, other Black police officers died maintaining order during the ensuing riots, and their sacrifice has largely been ignored.

When was the last time we saw politicians kneel for a fallen police officer, soldier, fire fighter or first responder? Justice demands that we honor those who serve our communities by protecting life and property. The hero-worship of George Floyd is phony, contrived and misplaced.

Special Treatment for Minority Students Could Backfire

by anon

In the aftermath of rioting and looting that followed the death of George Floyd, there have been repeated calls to give black students unequal (preferential) treatment on university campuses nationwide. Is this a good policy, or will it have side-effects detrimental to blacks?

Students at the University of California at Los Angeles demanded postponement of final exams for black students. At UC San Diego, students and faculty argued for "universal passing grades for Black [sic] students in response to the death of George Floyd." The University of Washington heard demands for a "gentle grading policy for Black [sic] students" in response to recent social unrest. UCLA Professor Gordon Klein merely asked the reasonable question of how a person's racial background could even be determined, in light of online-only courses during the current semester. He was put on leave after rejecting the request to postpone finals for black students. Threats of violence ensued, necessitating police protection.

Let us entertain a thought-experiment. What if universities acceded to such demands and gave black students automatic passing grades during the current unrest (or any time)? The policy would quickly gain notoriety. Employers considering job applicants would become aware that a degree from University So-and-So has a different meaning if the candidate is black. The unfortunate victim of this double standard may or may not have actually attended courses or successfully completed a final exam. The degree is no longer an accurate metric of academic achievement. This puts the hiring manager into a difficult bind. Should they apply the same standard to all job applicants? Should they assume that all black graduates with the same degree as white graduates are less qualified? Might the employer be subject to claims of racial discrimination, if they prefer to hire graduates who actually attended class and actually passed final exams, rather than a rubber-stamp degree conferred under a "gentle grading policy"?

The most empowering policy is equal treatment for all people, rather than special treatment based upon a person's skin color, racial identity, ethnicity, sex/gender, age, or any other physical characteristic. Hiring should be based upon merit rather than quotas. An empowering society is one that gives every person an equal chance to succeed, and rewards hard work and accomplishment.

Martin Luther King said that people should not be evaluated based on the color of their skin. Yet aren't such demands a kind of reverse racism that asks us to do exactly that?

Congressional Display of "Solidarity with Protesters" Goes Horribly Wrong

by Anon

You may have seen them with heads bowed, draped in stoles of colorful African kente cloth. Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Jerry Nadler, and other Democrat leaders knelt in the marbled halls of Congress for 8 minutes, in solidarity with people protesting over the death of George Floyd. [1] (Mr. Nadler stood, as he was unable to kneel.)

Wait– Something's gone horribly wrong! This made-for-TV photo-op was an epic fail in three respects.

Kente cloth of Ashanti slave traders

Kente cloth is deeply intertwined with the history of the Ashanti nation. The Ashanti Empire (in Ghana, on today's map), emerged in the 17th century. The costly cloth, associated with Ashanti royalty, was woven from silk imported via the trans-Saharan trade route connecting West Africa to Asia through the Middle East. The Ashanti people practiced human slavery (as did many others of that era). Slaves from Africa were sold and transported along the very same trade route as Asian silk. Thus, kente cloth is also a powerful symbol of an African tradition of black-on-black human slavery. [2], [3] At each State of the Union address, the Congressional Black Caucus and their Democrat allies flaunt the same kente cloth stoles. Is this a bad joke?

Cultural appropriation

Cultural appropriation is “the act of taking or using things from a culture that is not your own, especially without showing that you understand or respect this culture,” per the Cambridge Dictionary. “Cultural appropriation occurs when a more powerful person or institution projects the culture of a less powerful person,” wrote Dr. Luis Urrieta, professor of cultural studies at the University of Texas at Austin. He adds, “It also often involves obscuring or erasing the meaning behind the cultural item.” [4] It is undeniable that the Democrats' display of kente cloth—ancient symbol of African Ashanti slave-trading elites—is a blatant example of "obscuring or erasing the meaning behind the cultural item."

Reenacting the Oppressor Role

It is also curious that "taking a knee" has become a mandatory motif of progressive demonstrations. Curious, because of the deep symbolism that kneeling invokes. Those who watched disturbing video saw apparent victim George Floyd prone, with a policeman apparently kneeling on Floyd's neck. By kneeling, Congressional Democrats symbolically reenacted the last scene of George Floyd's life—only they took the role of oppressors. We Americans traditionally stand to honor our flag and our dignitaries; we kneel only in prayer. Our forebears soundly rejected Old World traditions of bowing to royalty in 1776, when 13 American colonies revolted against European royalty and asserted our God-given independence. Is the display of "taking a knee" poor taste, another bad joke, or perhaps they thought you wouldn't notice?

Why the FBI Relied on Crowdstrike Examination of DNC Server after Alleged Russian Hack

by anon

“The FBI never requested access to the DNC’s computer servers,” wrote DNC deputy communications director Eric Walker. According to an unnamed intelligence official, no U.S. intelligence agency ever did its own forensic analysis on the hacked servers. FBI and Homeland Security relied on analysis by third-party security firm CrowdStrike, which investigated the breach for the DNC. [1]

Even that narrative is questionable. “[Former] FBI Director James Comey and [former] Homeland Security chief Jeh Johnson both testified to Congress about the DNC’s reluctance to cooperate in a case the Democrats nonetheless relentlessly hyped as tantamount to an act of war.” A week before Comey’s testimony, the DNC even blamed the FBI for having never requested access. Yet an unnamed senior FBI official contradicted the DNC the very next day, telling The Hill that “The FBI repeatedly stressed to DNC officials the necessity of obtaining direct access to servers and data, only to be rebuffed… This left the FBI no choice but to rely upon a third party for information.” [2]

In hindsight, isn’t it obvious that the whole procedure was highly irregular, especially in light of the extreme sensitivity of the “Russian election interference” allegation? Who directed the FBI to disregard procedure and not insist on doing a proper forensic exam of the DNC server—especially if the alleged “Russian hacking” was going to serve as a pretext to derail Donald Trump’s legitimate presidency?

The hacking of the DNC server is what initiated the entire Trump/Russia hoax. How can we trust the DNC or Obama administration officials—contradicting each other’s statements—on such a significant matter? Let's review the events. [4]

—In testimony to the House Intelligence Committee, the DNC IT Director, Yared Tamene Wolde-Yohannes, stated that in September 2015, a [name-redacted] FBI agent first alerted him to potential nefarious activity on the DNC network. [6, p.7] However the DNC technology team could not detect the nefarious activity. That FBI agent contacted the DNC numerous times between then and December 2015 to report continued signs of suspicious activity. The agent said his information came from other operatives in the Intelligence Community. [6, p.12]

—The FBI eventually asked the DNC for 15 GB of metadata from the DNC servers, which was to be turned over on 4/29/16. [6, p.24] But on 4/28/16, the DNC’s information technology team discovered a cyberattack on their servers.

—On 5/1/16 the DNC, through their law firm Perkins-Coie, hired CrowdStrike, a private contractor, to examine the server. From that time onward, CrowdStrike took over all communications with the FBI on behalf of the DNC. [6, p.32]

—In response to questioning over Seth Rich, Tamene stated that the DNC found no unusual or unauthorized access by DNC personnel, but admitted that CrowdStrike was involved in the process of analysis [6, p.35] (Under contract to the DNC, did Crowdstrike in effect serve as a paid advocate to exonerate DNC personnel or advance a predetermined outcome?)

—Predictably, CrowdStrike concluded that the Russians were responsible.

—In mid-June, WikiLeaks announced they were in possession of emails damaging to Clinton. They did not say how they obtained the emails, but denied that Russia provided them.

—In a perplexing “coincidence”, Shawn Henry admitted that Crowdstrike had provided some “intelligence services to the FBI as part of a contract” in the past. [5, - p.74]. A search for CrowdStrike’s government contracts reveals a contract with the FBI from 7/8/2015 to 7/7/2016. [7] So while remediating the DNC network and advocating for the DNC in contacts with the FBI, CrowdStrike simultaneously had a contract with the FBI. The period when the FBI agent originally advised Director Tamene of ‘potential nefarious activity’ on the DNC network was concurrent with CrowdStrike providing intelligence to the FBI. Which unnamed Intelligence Community source was notifying the FBI agent of nefarious activity on the DNC servers—could it have been CrowdStrike itself? Shouldn't the [name-redacted] FBI Agent be called to testify?

—In a further “coincidence”, IT Director Tamene’s legal counsel for the House Intelligence Committee testimony was Marc Elias of Perkins-Coie—the same law firm that technically hired CrowdStrike to work for the DNC. (Doesn't Perkins-Coie's representation of the DNC and CrowdStrike appear to be a conflict of interest?) But back to the timeline…

—The DNC refused to allow the FBI or Homeland Security anywhere near their server. In violation of every investigative norm, the FBI accepted CrowdStrike’s unverified redacted report, and passed it on to Mueller’s special counsel. In fact, the FBI never even saw the full report, but used it as a primary source to blame Russia anyway! [3]

—The New York Times wrote an article supporting the DNC version of the story. Then Comey’s FBI leaked information to bolster this narrative, and the Times ran a second story. —The DNC version of events got repeated so frequently and passionately that it became accepted as true.

In this way, through the knowing collusion of many individuals, criticism regarding the content of Hillary's emails was deflected, and the seeds were sown for a false narrative that Russians wanted to bolster Trump’s election changes.

In Congressional testimony, CrowdStrike’s CEO Shaun Henry could not state unequivocally that Russians hacked the DNC server or exfiltrated data from it. “There are times when we can see data exfiltrated, and we can say conclusively. But in this case it appears it was set up to be exfiltrated, but we just don’t have the evidence that says it actually left.” [5] Yet upon this thinnest of predicates was based a circa-$32-million special counsel that failed to find wrongdoing by the President, an impeachment proceeding that concluded no wrongdoing by the President, and a relentless media narrative that for 3.5 years has attempted to unseat a duly-elected President.

Bottom line: While we do know that the 2016 Clinton Campaign and DNC paid for the discredited Steele Dossier, we still don’t know what data the DNC server held that the DNC hoped to hide from the FBI—data which remains hidden to this day. We don’t know exactly what acts of wrongdoing the Obama administration hoped to conceal from their employers, the American people. However, we do know that everyone in Mr. Obama’s cabinet used private Gmail addresses for surreptitious email communication, to knowingly evade federal records retention laws. We do know that the Steele dossier (which the FBI certified to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) as reliable, and upon which the Court relied in granting warrants that legitimized spying on candidate and President Donald Trump) contained nothing more than rumors and innuendo, and had been discredited by the FBI itself. After the FBI’s stunning malfeasance was revealed, FISC Chief Judge Boasberg censured the FBI, suggesting that prior cases might be overturned due to the FBI's pattern of lacking candor. We do know that when the Crossfire Razor investigation regarding Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn was about to be closed for lack of evidence, the FBI’s Peter Strzok overrode agency decisions and insisted it remain open so they could frame Trump’s incoming National Security Advisor, Flynn.

Four years later, unanswered questions still abound. We must continue pressing for answers to unravel the bizarre and inexplicable behavior of the DNC, the FBI, and the Obama administration.

THEY WANT US DIVIDED

To retain power, a chief tactic of the ruling class—those who fancy themselves the “global elite”—is dividing the masses. By creating labels and persuading us to identify with a label, we are taught to consider ourselves as victims in conflict with despised other groups, and to disregard the true oppressors, who long ago established the system of division for their own benefit. Generational age groups, gender, and sexual orientation have all been stereotyped and weaponized against us. But of all the labels, racial division is their most-used and most effective weapon.

Who are these self-annointed “overlords” and what are their goals? Elitist David Rockefeller addressed the Trilateral Commission in June, 1991: “We are grateful to The Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during those years. But, the work is now much more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national autodetermination practiced in past centuries.”

And recently, they have turned up the heat.

The masses have a natural inclination to befriend one another and work collaboratively toward convenient, safe, and fair ways to satisfy our needs. However, the ruling class—owners of the sinister, propaganda-vomiting geyser known as the media—uses every subtle trick to sway opinions. Partitioning us into a series of tribal groups—race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, political orientation—is the hallmark of their divide-and-conquer tactics.

This insight provides needed perspective. Many events dominating the news cycle are fabricated, sensationalized, or intentionally pushed, with potential to stoke the fires of division and set people against one other. If they can channel our aggressive energy and get us to direct it at each other, they can remain in power. They hope we won't suspect their supranational shadow-government fraternity of instigating the conflict.

These divisive events pop up every few weeks, like clockwork. Hollywood social engineers reinforce the insidious plan through films with racial undertones or politically divisive themes. The same films promote violence as the proper reaction to perceived victimhood.

Until we realize that we are being manipulated to direct aggression toward one another, the villainous elites will hold onto power. They believe they are superior to us in every way. They consider us like cattle, to be dominated, controlled, fenced, and culled, at their whim.

Their control will break when we refuse to be divided. Growing rejection of the division narrative portends well, for We the People are rising, and retaking our God-given right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Was Donald Trump Targeted By The Deep State From The Beginning?

by Anon

July 1, 2020

Donald J. Trump entered the 2016 U.S. presidential race, and at the time many people thought it was a joke. Gliding down the escalator, he joined the crowded field of Republican contenders as a true political outsider. Once again, he made for good TV. We tuned in to see how the businessman would fare against seasoned politicians. We cringed and snickered when he said, “Only Rosie O’Donnell.” Even Hillary Clinton was amused. She wanted to run against him. How hard could it be to beat a reality TV star?

But the outsider’s message of Drain The Swamp resonated with the American People. On the campaign trail, he pointed to common-sense topics such as a nation controlling its borders. And he highlighted the unequal justice applied to corrupt politicians, in particular the gross mishandling of classified information on Hillary Clinton’s private email server hosted in her residential bathroom on the open internet. He was a breath of fresh air for the people looking for a straight-talking candidate. The people may not like everything Donald Trump said, but they intuitively felt they could work with him.

Donald Trump faced fierce headwinds with national polls predicting a 2% chance of him winning. As his crowd size grew, the objections did too. “He’ll be too close to the button and will fire nukes at North Korea!” And the old standby, “The stock market will crash if you support this guy!” Against these odds, the first-time politician won the presidency. Hillary Clinton was in shock. Completely dumbfounded, the establishment never considered the possibility she could lose. But the people weighed in and voted for the true change they had hoped to get eight years prior.

In the run-up to the election, Trump had faced accusations made against him in a salacious Russian dossier funded by the Clinton campaign. [1] As he was preparing to enter office, the machine engaged to smear Trump with a Russian collusion narrative and calls for impeachment began. Incoming National Security Advisor, General Michael Flynn, was thrown into the mix when he asked the Russian ambassador not to allow the Obama administration to impede the incoming Trump administration. He pled guilty to lying to the FBI—a plea he later retracted. General Flynn and others involved in the Trump campaign were now involved in the setup, and the machine doubled-down on the Trump-Russian collusion narrative.

All of this came after years of Clinton coziness with Russia. Who can forget the cringe-worthy reset button Hillary Clinton presented to Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, or Bill Clinton’s $500,000 speeches, or the Uranium One scandal in which the Obama administration signed over 20% of US uranium production capacity to the mining arm of the Russian nuclear energy agency. [2], [3]

But now we’re supposed to believe Trump —the newcomer who had his hands full winning his first political campaign (the presidency)—colluded with Russia? Well, we didn’t, and after a nearly three-year investigation by special counsel Robert Mueller, he didn’t either. The Mueller investigation dominated the media for years, distracting our elected officials from working on behalf of the American people, and before it could even have been fully read, a new scandal came to town.

Enter the phone call with Ukrainian president Zelensky. [4] Upon congratulating the incoming president on his win, Trump asked Zelensky about “this whole situation with Ukraine.” Clearly becoming wiser to the true extent of the Swamp and finally being out from under the Mueller investigation, Trump asked Zelensky:

I would like you to find out what happened with this whole situation with Ukraine, they say Crowdstrike… I guess you have one of your wealthy people… The server, they say Ukraine has it…

As a reminder, it has been alleged that Crowdstrike hid the DNC server in Ukraine—the one that was claimed to have been hacked. A weird place for a hired contractor to send your computer, wouldn’t you say?

We all know the Ukraine phone call led to impeachment and ultimate acquittal. But once again, the entire country was distracted by exaggerated allegations the Democrats knew would never pass the Senate.

The house impeached Donald Trump on December 19, 2019 but the Articles weren’t delivered to the Senate until January 15, 2020. An interesting coincidence, since this was the very same day the first COVID-19 patient took an indirect flight back to Washington and brought the coronavirus pandemic to American soil.

Trump responded by creating a task force led by Mike Pence, rallied American companies to quickly provide medical equipment to hot spots and replenish our depleted reserves, sent the Mercy and Comfort hospital ships to Los Angeles and New York, and shut down the country for several months to control the outbreak. And just as regions of the country were re-opening in a phased approach, George Floyd was killed by a Minneapolis cop, sparking widespread national protests.

People took to the streets with legitimate outcries, but Black Lives Matter and Antifa showed up as well, deploying to major U.S. cities to create chaos, instill fear, and destabilize our Republic. These bad actors overshadowed the peaceful protesters who sought justice for the black community. Well-intentioned people have been exploited by a well-organized insurgency that is now active in America.

Each crisis arrived on cue as Trump triumphed over its predecessor: Russia, Ukraine, COVID-19, BLM, Antifa.

Let’s tie it all together by going back to the beginning. Michael Flynn served as National Security Advisor for a mere three weeks, but spent three and a half years defending himself against Russian collusion after a career of defending our country in the United States Army. The charges against him were ultimately dropped and evidence collected in his case was recently declassified, proving Barack Obama and Joe Biden had in fact directed the intelligence community to spy on the Trump campaign.

Could it be? Did a sitting president weaponize the U.S. government against the next duly elected president? Did the Deep State machine rally to attack the incoming president for fear of having their past corrupt deeds exposed? Is that what the last four years have been about? Russia, Ukraine, COVID, BLM, Antifa. Were these events orchestrated to hide the fact that an American President and his shadow Deep State committed treason in an attempt to hide even bigger crimes and an increasing need to regain power?

They say hindsight is 2020. Review the evidence of the last four years for yourself. And you be the judge.

During this period, the United States and its allies continued to struggle with a global Pandemic and the unprecedented policy response of partial or total Lockdown—a policy which resulted in the shutdown of the economy.

At the same time that many healthy citizens were forced into quarantine, and forbidden to go to restaurants, visit relatives, attend funerals or celebrations, go to the park or the beach or attend religious services, the death of George Floyd sparked a national (and then international) insurgency by Marxist groups. The banner group of the insurgency was Black Lives Matter, an identitarian group funded by George Soros. Antifa and other hard Left groups were also closely involved in the organized protests, riots, looting and targeted violence.

Celebrities and multinational corporations rushed to showcase their support for Black Lives Matter, with both media campaigns and a huge flood of funds. Black Lives Matter raised huge amounts of money, which was funneled through ActBlue into the campaign of Democrat Presidential Candidate Joe Biden.

While the violent insurgency helped Democrats raise money outside of normal campaign law, the continued media frenzy around the Covid-19 Pandemic provided Democrats with a justification to call for mail-in voting. The mainstream media used suppression polls to pretend that Joe Biden was in the lead, as a preparation for rigging voting machines and mail-in votes.

Meanwhile, the Deep State continued to obstruct President Trump through lawfare. In just the most public examples, Judge Sullivan resisted dismissing the Flynn case and the SDNY judge refused to step down when fired. Out of the spotlight, the momentum grew in the investigation into the Obama-era officials—including Obama himself—over the abuse of the FISA process.

Pedophiles are Predators

by Anon, July 8, 2020

With the arrest of Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein is back in the news. [1],[2] Allegations that for decades, Maxwell obtained underage girls for Epstein and his high-profile guests to exploit—for purposes including blackmail—are widely known. Is blackmail why it took 24 years from the time the FBI knew of the allegations until the arrest? [9] But the problem runs much deeper.

It’s a touchy subject. Adults using children and infants for sexual gratification is a repugnant topic. Let’s not gloss over it: pedophiles are predators. No just society can excuse the predatory behavior of the sexual deviants who term themselves “child lovers” in a vain hope that society will overlook their cruel—and sometimes deadly—abuses. Severe punishment is required so they may no longer harm the most vulnerable among us.

The scope of the problem is uncertain, but according to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, some 800,000 children are reported missing each year in the United States—about 2,000 daily. [3],[4] Estimates vary domestically and internationally, and few reliable statistics are available.[5] We do know that under the Trump administration, law enforcement task forces have increased prosecutions at the state and federal level.[6] The Children’s Bureau estimates that the United States had over 678,000 cases of child abuse—9 per 1,000—in 2018.[7]

Many pedophiles even select careers giving access an endless stream of young victims. These include occupations most would never suspect—clergy, coaches, counselors, teachers, scout leaders—those we have trusted with our kids’ safety.

But what happens to these babies and kids? Where are they now? What happens when they are “used up”–too physically damaged and psychologically traumatized to satisfy adult perverts? You don’t want to know.

Does there really exist a black market for child sex slaves? Is there any truth to the allegations that sometimes Child Protective Services, foster care, and Amber Alerts are accessories to these crimes? Anecdotes abound.

Yet a shocking 2005 study showed that 79% of abusers were children’s own parents, followed by the parent’s unmarried partners. A whopping 40% of child victims (counting all forms of abuse) were abused by their mothers alone, and 17% by both parents. The study found that substance abuse accompanies 70% of child maltreatment cases.[8] Should child abuse prevention efforts focus on solving substance abuse? What about broader social trends that cause dissolution of families?

Parents shouldn’t be complacent. Turning a blind eye or downplaying the problem will not save our children. We all need to become more vigilant.

What is child pornography but depictions of abuse? Both those who create, and those who consume, digital depictions of child sex abuse should be severely punished. Demand for the “genre” has surged with the advent of broadband internet.

Sweeping the problem under the rug hasn’t worked. We need accurate statistics, education, and public awareness. The solution isn’t to normalize perversion, but to prosecute the deviants—both producers and consumers.

We don’t need new laws either. There are plenty of statutes which—if robustly enforced—could quickly end the menace of child sex abuse. We need adequate funding for law enforcement to investigate and prosecute the crimes, a commitment to equal justice, transparency, and harsh sentencing for those found guilty of violating the laws of God and mankind.

WHY I FIGHT

by Anon

I fight because life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are worth fighting for. The founders' ideals were right in 1776 and they are still right today.

I fight because our world has been changed for the worse over my lifetime. The dark agenda behind these changes is plainly seen, in comparing decades-old memories against the present. Experience brings perspective.

I fight for nieces and nephews, and their offspring, who would probably hate all that I stand for if they knew what I believe and do. (They don't know I'm fighting to give them a better world, to return to them a goodly heritage and an opportunity for something better.)

I fight because I sincerely believe "the best is yet to come," and that by reaching out our hand toward worthy goals, we can bring them closer, for all of us.

I fight because timelines are in play, and our individual thoughts can change the outcome.

I fight now, with all of my breath and strength, because when of age for military service, I had little interest in history or God or country. I did not serve my country then; my generation largely succumbed to set of false, externally-imposed ideas.

I fight because hating your own country is a losing proposition. If you don't fight to improve the homeland that nurtured you, you're no better than an animal.

I fight as one who from early childhood onward rejected others' opinions and conclusions, examined things objectively, researched and thought for myself, and then acted upon my beliefs, regardless of the personal cost. I rejected the easy path and the easy answers. I always shunned the conventional because it only leads to mediocrity.

I fight because I believe important accomplishments require hard work and sacrifice, that everyone has the same opportunity to succeed, and that success is largely dependent on determination and hard work.

I fight because I know choices matter: that when one sees clearly, and makes up one's mind firmly to seek a certain goal, and pursues it relentlessly, one can exceed all expectations, triumph over adversity, and achieve great victories.

I fight because honoring God requires loving all of his creation and striving to bring all of it into his light.

I fight because virtue, and honor, and righteousness are not mere empty words; they are real, and true, and worth fighting for.

Because I fight, I took the oath to uphold the Constitution and defend it against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

I fight because experience shows that my efforts can strongly affect whatever cause they are applied to. So to not do my utmost, while realizing that my every push could impact the outcome, would be a failure of the worst kind.

I fight for personal excellence, and competence, and mastery, of any subject I decide to pursue.

I fight because both success and adversity have taught that you must stand up for what you believe, and strive for your goals.

I fight because you don't want to look back and say, if only I had tried a little harder… how are you going to explain that at the Judgment?

I fight, and write, because the lies are pervasive, and truth is the only antidote to lies.

I fight because I love you.

Will you join us? Will you help us fight for truth? Will you write, show, and tell?

Why COVID-19 Statistics Aren't Credible

by Anon

The entire lockdown/mask narrative hinges on a daily rising case count—a hammer to bludgeon the entire population. If we understand how this statistic is produced, we can decide for ourselves if the numbers are believable. I'll call the novel Chinese coronavirus discovered in 2019 “COVID-19”. [9]

Garbage in—Garbage Out

The CDC's April 5, 2020 Interim Case Definition combines confirmed and probable cases. [3] [4] A case is “probable” if it meets a range of subjective criteria without confirmatory lab testing. E.g.:

—You had a cough and had contact with someone else who tested positive (including on an antibody test).

—You had a headache and felt feverish without taking your temperature, in a community with “sustained ongoing community transmission.”

—You might be counted twice if you later got a positive test result.

—You got a positive antibody test in a community deemed to be infected (more on test accuracy coming up).

—A doctor wrote COVID-19 on your death certificate but you were not tested.

This is poor science. The CDC should break out two categories—confirmed and probable—and state the criteria for each. If someone is counted as probable and later receives a positive test, they should not be counted twice. Pennsylvania, Texas, Georgia, and Vermont blend their data the same way. Virginia and Maine were too, but began separating their data. Combining PCR and antibody tests into a single heap vastly inflates the number of cases.[2] The old computing axiom—garbage in, garbage out—applies here. Statistics based on bad data are inherently faulty.

[Image: Discrepancies_In_Data_Reporting]

False positives

Pathologists haven’t identified any antibodies specific to the hypothesized pathogen, SARS-CoV-2. Without monoclonal antibodies, no one really knows what caused the illnesses attributed to it, or whether a pathogen was even present. No one has proven there is an infectious agent “SARS-CoV-2” that causes the same discrete disease in all the victims. Nor has a virus been isolated, reproduced and then shown to cause this discrete illness. [1]

Thus, the tests themselves are suspect: what exactly are they testing? The PCR tests do amplify a specific RNA fragment, but no one has shown whether that RNA fragment causes illness or is present in healthy people.

Anecdotes of test kit anomalies and false positives abound. A testing lab employee, baffled by an uptick in positives, bought 200 test kits. He made the kits appear tested without actually testing anyone, and submitted them to a competing lab. Over 50% of these unused kits turned up positive. [6] President John Magufuli of Tanzania, desiring to sanity-check the accuracy of tests, had a pawpaw fruit, a goat, and a quail tested; all tested positive. [7]

Financial motivations

Doctors and hospitals stand to gain by diagnosing inpatients with COVID-19. Medicare pays for inpatient hospital care using a diagnosis-related group (DRG) system. Hospitals classify patients based on the main diagnosis and treatment given. Medicare reimburses a flat amount per DRG code. For comparable respiratory conditions, Kaiser estimated that Medicare payments average $13,297 for a less severe hospitalization, versus $40,218 for a hospitalization involving ventilator treatment for 96+ hours. Moreover, the March 27, 2020 CARES stimulus package adds 20% to the Medicare reimbursement for COVID-19. [8]

Political motivations

Many incumbent governors continue to resist Donald Trump's presidency. Anything supporting fraud-laden vote-by-mail is pushed. Anything to prolong draconian social control is pushed. Is there a possible third motive? Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's February 8, 2020 speech informed us that China's wooing of American elected officials has not gone unnoticed. Is it possible that some governors are beholden to the Chinese Communist Party, perhaps subject to bribe or blackmail? [5]

At first people wondered if China tried to slam us with a ferocious bioweapon. The virus alone turned out to be a dud. The true weapon was not merely a virus, but a binary weapon that became far more lethal when employed to justify ruthless, unconstitutional social controls. Draconian social measures issued by CDC and elaborated by certain governors continue. Americans are still facing social distancing, mandatory masks, and brutal closure guidelines that have caused many business failures. Governors pushing COVID patients into nursing homes against CDC guidelines, while refraining from using hospital ships and field hospitals that were provided at great expense, resulted in unconscionable—and avoidable—death rates among the elderly. Contrast state measures prohibiting church attendance and singing, mandating mask wearing in public with drastic fines, and requiring school closures, with these same governors taking no action to prevent large uncontrolled public gatherings when the crowds' purpose was to protest, riot, and demonstrate.

Light at the end of the tunnel

President Trump has just ordered hospitals to bypass the CDC and report COVID-19 data directly to the White House. This courageous action, bypassing compromised CDC bureaucrats, should facilitate reopening America and rebuilding our economy to surpass prior levels. [10]

An OP-ED from ABCU|8

Are face masks effective in combating COVID-19?

by G

As the number of COVID-19 cases and deaths continues to change, governments all around the world create their own policies regarding the prevention of the novel coronavirus, such as social distancing and the controversial mask wearing. In some cases, you [1] or your business [2] can be fined for not obeying the law or even arrested [2], but what do government guides and the mainstream media have to say about this?

The guidance published by the U.K. government claims that only 'symptomatic individuals' should weak masks in order to reduce the risk of transmitting the virus and that 'the best way to reduce any risk of infection is good hygiene and avoiding direct and close contact with any potentially infected person' [3]. Additionally, the official U.K. 'working safely during coronavirus' guidance states that 'the evidence suggests that wearing a face covering does not protect you, but it may protect others if you are infected but have not developed symptoms' and that 'it is important to know that the evidence of the benefit of using a face covering to protect others is weak and the effect is likely to be small, therefore face coverings are not a replacement for the other ways of managing risk, including minimising time spent in contact, using fixed teams and partnering for close-up work, and increasing hand and surface washing' [4].

Moreover, the situation is not any different in the U.S. either. The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) says that it 'does not recommend that the general public wear N95 respirators to protect themselves from respiratory diseases, including coronavirus (COVID-19)' [6] and therefore 'the best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to this virus'. This, however, is supported by numerous sources, such as the California Department of Industrial Relations (Division of Occupational Safety & Health Publications Unit): ”Cloth face coverings do not protect against COVID -19” [8], the California Department of Health: "There is limited evidence to suggest that use of cloth face coverings by the public during a pandemic could help reduce disease transmission.” [9], the Neurosurgeon Dr. Russell Blaylock: ”There is no scientific evidence that masks are effective. If you are not sick, you should not wear a face mask.” [10], US Surgeon General Jerome Adams: ”Masks are not effective in preventing the general public from catching coronavirus.” [11] and even Dr. Anthony Fauci: “People should not be walking around wearing masks. Masks do not provide the protection people think they do.” [12]

Other sources that backed up the ineffectiveness of masks are the World Health Organization: 'face masks do not stop healthy people from catching coronavirus and should only be worn by healthcare workers and patients' [5] and the New England Journal of Medicine: "We know that wearing a mask outside health care facilities offers little, if any, protection from infection." [7].

On the other hand, covering your face comes with certain drawbacks, including reducing the 'intake of oxygen, leading to carbon dioxide toxicity' [13], an increased risk 'if users reduce their use of strong defenses' [9], taking away information 'that makes it especially difficult for children to recognize others and read emotional signals' [14], having an opposite effect 'in the misuse of wearing a mask properly or fitting it properly' [15] and oxygen deficiency caused by a rise in carbon dioxide [16].

Taking everything into account, scientific evidence suggests that masks are not very effective in combating COVID-19, so imposing strict rules is an exaggerated move from governments and punishments for not complying could be considered tyrannical.

Joe Biden is a Rapist and I Want You to Vote for Him

by John Cleer

The New York Times actually published this argument (wording it “I Believe Tara Reade. I’m voting for Joe Biden anyway … suck it up and make the utilitarian bargain”) in an Op-Ed ( 1 ) and by all appearances, they agree with it. Stranger yet, a good cross-section of their readers do, as evidenced in the Letters to the Editor ( 2 ) and by the lack of much push-back, if any, to the article.

But only two years ago, this same newspaper viciously attacked Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, publishing numerous articles ( 3 ) around the argument that there is an ethical obligation to “believe women” which makes Kavanaugh guilty, because he was accused by a woman. From there it followed that Kavanaugh must not be permitted to serve on the Supreme Court.

Now hold on, you might be saying, op-ed writers are not affiliated with the newspaper’s editorial board. This is technically true, but the writer Linda Hirshman has been a steady presence on the liberal circuit for years now and this includes the New York Times. They announced her daughter’s wedding in the Style section in 2003 ( 4 ) and have published Linda’s op-eds periodically for more than 10 years ( 5 ); longtime columnist David Brooks name-dropped her at the top of his column nearly 15 years ago, starting a public back-and-forth that generated publicity for her, an unknown writer, in the lead-up to her first book release. ( 6 ) The Times have since plugged all three of her books ( 7 ), which make the bestseller list now — she’s part of the club, thanks in part to David Brooks, and has had a long relationship with the “paper of record” that continued with this op-ed.

Katha Pollitt wrote an article for The Nation just like the Times’, and they too published it: “I would vote for Joe Biden even if I believed Reade’s account… I would vote for Joe Biden if he boiled babies and ate them.” ( 8 ) What if he boiled YOUR baby and ate it, Katha Pollitt? Would you vote for him then?

The Atlantic took a more honest step back before launching into the same: “Condemning Biden carries a clear cost for these groups. They believe that four more years of Trump would be immensely damaging for their policy agendas and for women in general,” leading in to another feminist writer explaining why she defends Biden against Reade and you should too. ( 9 ) “For women in general,” that is.

All three of these outlets pushed for Kavanaugh’s removal and yet today, all three are publishing reasons it’s different with Biden. Reade is lying, or they believe her but their political vision for the country ("beating Trump") is more important. So Biden may be a rapist, and that’s ok now—sometimes that’s what women need, right New York Times?

This discrepancy is trending across the liberal media, who only two years ago would’ve called you a rapist if you wanted Kavanaugh’s accusations corroborated. Bloodthirsty, determined and certain of their moral high ground, the Left chanted “We Believe Her” (referring to his accuser Christine Blasey Ford, who says he tried to rape her 37 years ago) in unison, incessantly, for months. The year before, similar decades-old accusations were lobbed against Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore. If these people are truly concerned about the victims, then shouldn’t they apply this standard to both sides of the political aisle? Surely they’d agree that candidates for president should be held to it.

Don’t ask Joe Biden—he doesn’t always know he’s running for president. ( 10 ) But if he wins, "[his] first priority as president will be defeating Donald Trump.” ( 11 ) He’s forgotten what state he was in, on camera, in 3 different states in this campaign alone. Do reporters hold Biden accountable for these lapses, or do they surreptitiously ignore them? He’s forgotten what day of the week it is and even which half-century he’s in, telling parents to “make sure you have the record player on at night” for their kids. He’s forgotten what college he went to, claiming falsely he attended historically-black Delaware State when he attended the University of Delaware. He’s forgotten who was on the stage with him at a Democratic debate, saying in front of Kamala Harris that he was endorsed by the only African-American woman in the Senate. Astonishingly Biden’s even forgotten the Declaration of Independence, on stage in the midst of reciting it: “All men and women are created by the … you know … you know the thing.” ( 12 ) And every time he does it, he gets a pass.

In striking similarity, Ford doesn’t know what city she says she was almost raped in, what year it was, whose house it happened in or who was there with her. ( 13 ) Her only records are her therapist’s notes which were taken 30 years later and conflict with the year she gave the Washington Post as an estimation ( 14 ) (compared to Kavanaugh’s daily notes which are meticulous and taken in his own hand, in real time on the dates in question ( 15 )). None of the three witnesses Ford named can remember the party ( 16 )and one of them says “I don’t have any confidence in the story,” and can’t recall ever having met Kavanaugh. ( 17 )

Ford has also demonstrated a penchant for lying under oath, or at best remembering things in different ways than everyone else does. After she suggested that a polygraph test she’d taken proves she’s telling the truth, Ford’s ex-boyfriend wrote a letter to the Judiciary Committee disputing a number of her claims on the stand: in the six years he says they dated, she did not seem afraid of flying or enclosed spaces and more pertinently, she had indeed coached her friend on passing a polygraph test for a job opportunity. ( 18 )

“Dr. Ford explained in detail what to expect, how polygraphs worked and helped [her friend] McLean become familiar and less nervous about the exam. Dr. Ford was able to help because of her background in psychology,” he wrote in response to Ford’s claim on the stand that she had “never” “taken any other polygraphs in [her] life” or “had discussions with anyone besides [her] attorneys on how to take a polygraph,” nor had she “ever given tips or advice to anyone who was looking to take a polygraph test.” This would mean she not only perjured herself but is a studied or even professional liar, at least in regards to manipulating polygraphs. ( 19 )

Mr. Biden’s accuser, Tara Reade, claimed her mother called the Larry King Show after Tara left Biden’s office to talk about the alleged rape: this claim has been corroborated by the tape being found. Reade also has eight contemporaneous corroborating witnesses who confirmed her account. ( 20 ) So under the “Believe Women” mantra, which does not even require evidence, Mr. Biden’s cancellation should be a shoe-in.

But a funny thing is happening this time: instead of finding more victims to parade, the media can now only find staffers who will defend Biden. There were over 40 witnesses ready to testify negatively about Kavanaugh to the FBI ( 21 ), but for some reason with Biden, they can only find staffers who will sing his praise. PBS found 74 of them ( 22 ), opening their article by asserting he was not on a particular list of “creepy” senators, then conceding he was “also a toucher, seemingly oblivious to whether physical contact made some women uncomfortable.” You see, he didn’t make them uncomfortable, it was physical contact in general that did this, and in this case it just happened to come from Joe Biden. As PBS tells it, Mr. Biden was just being himself, and these women were touchy about it.

With Biden under the gun instead of Kavanaugh, the press is suddenly interested in evidence and credibility, and whether an allegation has any. “Believe Women” has become “we never meant ‘believe all women.’”

“That’s a Right-Wing trap!,” says the New York Times, and a “canard.” “Believe All Women” is the negation of “Believe Women,” wrote the writer, decrying it as a “double standard purity test.” But instead of disproving the double standard, the writer just says conservatives are hypocrites too. ( 23 )

Let me point out that this is very much a double standard (and a “canard” for that matter, if it’s possible to use the word honestly). Kavanaugh was convicted in the public forum by paid lobbyists of all stripes ( 24 ) who insisted that he was guilty, because otherwise you’d be calling Ford a liar. It was impossible that Ford could be lying, only a rapist would say that! But there is no parallel concern for Tara Reade—Politico for example published a hit piece characterizing her as “manipulative, deceitful” and desperate for money. ( 25 )

California prosecutors have even launched an investigation into whether she lied on the stand. What do they accuse her of lying about? Having graduated from college. ( 26 ) In other words, the supposed lie has nothing to do with her experience with Biden, and they are accusing her misleadingly—and using the power of the court to silence her, in order to protect the alleged rapist Mr. Biden.

It’s acceptable to treat Tara Reade like this because she’s accusing a Democrat. Conservatives get the Kavanaugh Treatment, where wildly unsubstantiated and relatively mild allegations are treated as fact and guilt is assumed. Kavanaugh allegedly "groped" Ford and tried to remove her clothes (no specifics given) and put his hand on her mouth as if to quiet her. ( 27 ) Clarence Thomas before him allegedly made unwelcome comments.

Joe Biden by contrast is accused of reaching under Reade’s skirt and jamming his fingers inside her ( 28 ), against her will, and then telling her “You’re nothing to me” as he walked away ( 29 ). Somehow the Kavanaugh and Thomas allegations were treated much more seriously than this. In Tara Reade’s case it’s even acceptable to say, “Joe Biden raped her and it doesn’t matter, we need to vote for him.” Imagine a reporter saying this about Blase Ford, in Supreme Court season, without losing their job and getting blacklisted. What happened to “We believe her”? It was a lie, Ford was a liar and everyone knew it. They knew she was lying and they used her.

The reality of these frenzied accusations and the “feminist” journalists who push them in the magazines, as the Atlantic briefly acknowledged ( 30 ), is they are political tools. Whoever runs the media has no problem defending a rapist, attacking a rape victim, or slandering a good man with false accusations, and their whore employees will do anything for a dollar.

An OP-ED from ABCU|8 - The American Broadcasting CommUnity

Secretary of State Pompeo Signals Historic Shift in U.S.-China Relations

by Anon

It will be up to future historians to judge President Richard M. Nixon's "opening" of China fifty years ago. America was optimistic over the potential that Maoist China might adopt aspects of capitalism. We believed that with more interaction, China would become more like our liberal democracy. As Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said today, that course seemed inevitable - at the time.

The Vietnam war was still ongoing, and we college students wanted the war to end. Our male peers, after drawing a low number in the draft lottery, were sent overseas, their lives forever changed (or extinguished). So we were eager for the change that Nixon's new Asia policy seemed to signal.

This philosophy has guided American presidents for many terms. They naively treated the country run by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) like a normal nation, trusting it to apply the rule of law internally, and uphold its agreements internationally. However, a realistic assessment by the Trump administration found otherwise. Only the blind or willfully ignorant couldn't see that the CCP's primary goal has always been to rip off other countries through every means possible, to gain advantage for China, with an ultimate goal of Chinese hegemony. [1]

President Donald Trump began the relationship with CCP Chairman Xi Jinpeng cordially. While they dined at Mar-a-Lago, we learned (with trepidation) that Trump sent a cruise missile to bomb an empty warehouse in Syria over chocolate cake. [2] It signalled that America's new president meant business and had command of his military. Months later, Mr. and Mrs. Trump visited Beijing, receiving an honor never before afforded to any other nation's leader: a visit inside the ancient Imperial City, once the home of Chinese emperors, where no commoner was allowed to tread. Trump continued praising Xi effusively - saving Xi's "face" in front of his people, while leaving a generous opening for improved Chinese behavior. This seemed an auspicious start.

In late 2019, the Trump administration negotiated for a fair and reciprocal trade relationship with China, signing the historic Phase One Trade Agreement on January 15, 2020. [3] That very day, America got its first case of COVID-19 - an undesired Chinese import.

Yet many suspected trouble all along. In a February 2020 speech to the National Governors' Association, Mr. Pompeo publicly outlined some concerns. [4] The CCP had targeted governors, grading each as “friendly,” “hardline,” or “ambiguous” on their willingness to cooperate with CCP goals. Under Xi, he said, "China is moving exactly in the opposite direction – more repression, more unfair competition, more predatory economic practices; indeed, a more aggressive military posture as well… The Chinese Government has been methodical… It’s assessed our vulnerabilities, and it’s decided to exploit our freedoms to gain advantage over us."

Current news abounds with Chinese students and scientists, employees of the CCP People's Liberation Army, being charged with espionage, intellectual property theft, and other crimes. [5] through [22] The charges are new, but such crimes continue a long-established Chinese pattern of exploiting American openness.

Defense Secretary Mark Esper, at the Munich Security Conference, said, "The prevailing notion of the day was that, if we allowed the PRC [People's Republic of China] into the WTO [World Trade Organization] and other multilateral institutions, China would continue on its path of economic reform and eventually become a market-oriented trading partner. More broadly, increased engagement with the liberal world order would also spur political opening and help transform the PRC into a responsible global stakeholder. The more skeptical voices argued that, if granted membership, China would use the benefits of free trade and an open international order to grow its economy and access the technology required to build a strong military and security state capable of expanding the reach of their authoritarian rule. These were both credible arguments, but we all know which one is winning right now. It's not the former. In fact, under President Xi’s rule, the Chinese Communist Party is heading even faster and further in the wrong direction – more internal repression, more predatory economic practices, more heavy-handedness, and most concerning for me, a more aggressive military posture." [23, 24]

On July 16th, Attorney General William Barr, speaking to business leaders said, “The ultimate ambition of China's rulers isn't to trade with the United States. It is to raid the United States… If you're an American business leader, appeasing the PRC may bring short term rewards, but in the end the PRC’s goal is to replace you.” [25] Yet many American companies kow-tow to CCP pressure.

It was the last straw when China abrogated all international norms by failing to notify other countries as soon as it learned of a "novel coronavirus" from Wuhan that has since swept the planet. The ensuing closures have wreaked unprecedented economic damage to America and our allies.

America's new hard stance, bluntly confronting the CCP's aggression and taking new measures to protect America from them, is a long-overdue reversal of past administrations' failure to protect the American people from international predators.

Burning Books One Word at a Time

These days our culture is pervaded by lies that are promoted as true. Daily, the Left introduces new distortions of language to support their latest ideology. The debasement of language is not accidental but purposeful. An insidious agenda underpins this trend.

People cannot make sound judgments without a pool of true facts to reason about. When deprived of facts, the resulting cognitive cage is no less a prison. The subversion of language could enslave our minds. Unless we are vigilant, America could be defeated not with a bang but a whimper.

Children quickly learn not to touch a hot stove, or suffer a burn. If new words were substituted, would touching the burner suddenly become safe for believers? Obviously not. Unpopular truths are facts disliked to the point of rejection. But disliking a fact does not make it any less true. Rejecting facts is a characteristic of mental illness. Liberal ideologues want to prohibit consideration of objective truths that do not fit their agenda. “Unpopular truths” are on the chopping block, to be replaced by new “politically correct” expressions.

The mainstream media parrot their globalist masters' script, while universities and businesses pander to the same ideology. They hope incessant repetition will gain acceptance for the lies, and unpopular truths will be forgotten. We are told that “men” can have menstrual periods and bear children. That censorship of conservatives by Big Tech isn't censorship, if it serves the interest of globalists. That cross-dressing or surgery changes a person's sex. That burning down a federal courthouse is a peaceful demonstration. That corrupt and demented senior Joe Biden could run the country. That Islam is a religion of peace. That victimhood is a noble and desirable condition. And many believe.

Schools, libraries, and other publicly-funded institutions boost the new dogmas. Grotesque transvestites are presented as role models. Abhorrent sexual practices that our grandparents could never have imagined are introduced to first-graders by mandated “diversity” curricula. How can we teach our children right from wrong, when the TV mocks us for explaining that burning down public buildings and rioting are not good ways to solve problems? Should parents yield control over raising our children to cultural Marxists?

One of the most powerful neologisms is “hate speech”. This category is used to terrorize people into self-censorship. Once an idea is branded “hate speech”, those who speak it can be demonized and even prosecuted under unconstitutional laws. But “hate speech” is merely speech that others hate. Our First Amendment protects all speech: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.” The only exceptions are inciting acts of violence or endangering the masses with one's words.

What is at stake is only our free will, national independence, and right to personal uniqueness. We must not be coerced by “politically-correct” language bullies. We need to embrace the truth. While crying “diversity”, the globalists promote conformity. The trend to homogeneity of thought and language flouts everything that past generations of Americans fought to preserve. A free society is one in which vigorous debate flourishes, not the monoculture of ideas that the Left would compel under the insincere banner of “diversity”.

A splinter minority hopes to overrule the silent majority. And if we remain silent, they might. It is time to become vocal. Our Constitution empowers us with freedom of speech. We need to reject the lies and insist on the truth, in our private interactions and in all public discourse. We need to be loud. We need to overcome our reticence, and speak out. Truth is the only cure.

DHS Study Sheds Light on COVID-19 Best Practices

In March and April, the Department of Homeland Security studied the effect of environmental conditions — temperature, light and humidity — on the COVID-19 virus. [1]

Bill Bryant, director of Science and Technology, presented the findings on April 23, 2020. [2], [3], [4] “Our most striking observation to date is the powerful effect that solar light appears to have on killing the virus — on surfaces and in the air. Increasing the temperature and humidity, or both, is generally less favorable to the virus.”

DHS studied virus survival on non-porous hard surfaces such as door handles and stainless steel. They also studied its survival in aerosols — saliva droplets from sneezes and coughs.

Virus survival is measured in terms of half-life: the interval in which half the virus particles are eliminated.

[Image 1: Sunlight Humidity Kill Virus Faster]

Tests on non-porous surfaces:

· (A) On indoor surfaces with 20% (low) humidity and no sunlight, virus survived the longest, with a half-life of 18 hours.

· (B) Raising the humidity to 80% cut the half-life by two-thirds to 6 hours.

· (C) Then raising the temperature to 95°F cut half-life to 1 hour.

· (D) On surfaces in summer-like conditions of 70-75°F, 80% humidity and bright sunlight, half-life was sharply reduced to only 2 minutes. Virus was eliminated over 500 times faster compared with (A).

The same tests were done on respiratory droplets.

· (E) Half-life in aerosols, in 20% humidity, 70-75°F, and no sunlight, was around 60 minutes. That is, virus in aerosols disappeared 18 times faster than on indoor surfaces under conditions (A).

· (F) Adding summer-like sunlight cut the half-life down to about 1.5 minutes. Sunlight eliminated the virus 40 times faster than (E), and 720 times faster than (A).

The virus survives best on surfaces in dry indoor conditions. It does not survive as well in saliva droplets. And it dies the quickest in the presence of direct sunlight under these conditions. Summarizing the aerosol data, Mr. Bryan said, “in a room, 70 to 75 degrees, 20 percent humidity, low humidity, the half-life is about an hour. But you get outside, and it cuts down to a minute and a half. A very significant difference when it gets hit with UV rays. And, Mr. President, while there are many unknown links in the COVID-19 transmission chain, we believe these trends can support practical decision making to lower the risks associated with the virus.”

The data has stunning implications. It suggests that Americans worried about virus can benefit from spending more time outdoors in sunlight, humidity, and warm summer temperatures. It suggests that outdoor mask mandates and prohibition of normal summertime outdoor activities could promote the spread of virus, not contain it.

Mr. Bryan then discussed experiments on disinfecting environmental surfaces. “We’re also testing disinfectants readily available. We’ve tested bleach and isopropyl alcohol on the virus, specifically in saliva or in respiratory fluids. And I can tell you that bleach will kill the virus in five minutes; isopropyl alcohol will kill the virus in 30 seconds, and that’s with no manipulation, no rubbing — just spraying it on and letting it go. If you rub it, it goes away even faster. We’re also looking at other disinfectants, specifically looking at the COVID-19 virus in saliva.”

[Image 2: DHS Best Practices]

· Heat and Humidity Suppress COVID-19 indoors and outdoors

· Move Activities Outside – sunlight impedes virus transmission

· Commonly Available Disinfectants (Bleach & Isopropyl Alcohol) work to kill the virus. (This third point depicting a spray bottle was obviously about disinfecting hard surfaces.)

The mainstream media spun the DHS presentation immediately. [5], [6] The study contradicted the globalists’ goal of forcing heathy individuals to stay indoors and refrain from normal summer activities, with a short-term goal of maximizing the death count and a long-term goal of justifying fraud-laden universal vote-by-mail this autumn.

One article assaulted Mr. Bryan’s integrity by calling him a “non-scientist” and attacking his military background.[7] The writer begs to differ: military background is relevant in defense against biological agents. DHS’s innovative multidisciplinary approach examines problems from all sides, whereas medical research limits itself to a narrow silo where the answer is always more expensive and profitable drugs.

The media instantly jumped on President Trump’s subsequent questions to Mr. Bryan and the task force doctors. The President asked two separate questions [9]:

(1) Whether light could somehow be introduced into the body to kill virus (it can, according to a new treatment protocol) [8]

(2) Whether research should investigate other potential ways to kill virus using disinfectants.

In light of DHS's "best practices" slide, Mr. Trump's disinfectant question was obviously about cleaning environmental surfaces. The press maliciously conflated the two separate questions to imply that the President wanted people injected with bleach. By twisting the President’s remarks, plainly intended to spur outside-the-box thinking, the media managed to almost completely sweep this groundbreaking research under the rug.

The First Amendment enshrines our right to discuss these matters freely and to form our own opinions on research that could have a bearing on our health.

In light of the data, shouldn’t we be spending plenty of time outside in sunlight, humidity, and heat, without a mask?

So, supposing we hit the body with a tremendous — whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light — and I think you said that that hasn’t been checked, but you’re going to test it. And then I said, supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way, and I think you said you’re going to test that too. It sounds interesting. ACTING UNDER SECRETARY BRYAN: We’ll get to the right folks who could. THE PRESIDENT: Right. And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning. Because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs. So it would be interesting to check that. So, that, you’re going to have to use medical doctors with. But it sounds — it sounds interesting to me. So we’ll see. But the whole concept of the light, the way it kills it in one minute, that’s — that’s pretty powerful.

Cognitive Dissonance: The Deep State's Last Stand?

by Anon, August 3, 2020

People are undergoing a severe existential crisis due to the coexistence—in an identical but impossibly incongruent space—of two opposing and competing sets of information. Both sets simultaneously claim a FACTUAL label, and both are presented by once-trusted mainstream media.

When “facts on the ground” do not match what trusted pundits (seen as “friends”) are saying, the traumatized human mind retreats into a powerful existential protective mode, compelled by the need to maintain even a false sense of sanity.

Friends and loved ones who have long trusted mainstream media pundits, believing them always truthful, are traumatized as it has become very clear, to the awakened, that MSM is lying about literally everything.

Those who continued to trust the MSM, those who cannot reconcile all the glaring externally-verifiable but contradictory “facts” with what MSM tells them, those who cannot fit the glaring contradictory facts-on-the-ground into the same mental space as the mendacious words of their beloved “pundits”, now find their precious but factually-deficient world view forced into an impossible contradiction. How can a trusted world view share mental space with outrageous lies?

They see only two ways to escape. The first will destroy their world view and change their lives forever. The second lets them to keep their flagging world view.

They could abandon their faith in MSM pundits (and along with it, their failing world view), and admit to existential devastation, and choose to see the truth. This would require admitting they have been lied to.

Some will cling to their failing reality at all costs, becoming completely and insanely blind to the obvious. Those whose trauma or fear exceeds their ability to choose the first path descend into cognitive dissonance, becoming blind to reality, no matter how glaring or obvious the incongruity. It is a type of temporary insanity.

Friends and family who witness their loved ones’ astounding descent into insanity should realize they are seeing a sort of crude mental or spiritual survival tactic—a product of our incredibly creative human minds.

For example, this mental survival tactic would serve an innocent child very well (temporarily at least), in allowing the child to survive horrific torture relatively unscathed, as far as visible scars go. In fact, this type of drastic emergency mental protective measure is precisely described by MKUltra mind control techniques and is well understood by the mainstream media, the Deep State, and the CIA. Torture is inflicted on a subject and then a mental “out” is provided to the victim by the torturer. The child chooses the “out” because it is their only means of escape. They can—mentally at least—float above their torture.

It is an example of devils forcing angels to use a last-resort tactic.

In every single MSM newscast, we now see the deliberate and calculated use by the Dark Forces of trauma, to force people into a state of cognitive dissonance. Smiling “friendly” icons purporting to be “allies” deliberately state things which even the most cursory examination of easily-observable truth demonstrates as false. Yet the lies are calmly stated with absolute conviction, behind masks resembling absolute, perfectly-manufactured false sincerity. (Juan on "The Five" with Greg Gutfield on Fox is a prime example of this.)

This forces anyone who hangs onto false hope straight into cognitive dissonance, effectively shutting down any information contradicting the desired narrative. And this is exactly the effect intended by those who are deliberately perpetrating the cognitive dissonance.

Now maybe you can understand why so many people appear to be insane these days.

THE AMERICAN CYBER CIVIL WAR

by Anon, August 5, 2020

The current battle over social media censorship can be traced back to origins in the CIA’s Project Mockingbird. This article will argue that Project Mockingbird did not terminate after the Cold War but continued when the dot-com bubble enabled social media tech giants to pick up the mantle and continue campaigns of social influence.

The dot-com bubble was not an organic phenomenon. It arose from a more sinister purpose: to achieve a complete takeover of worldwide media and suppress dissenting voices. By whom, you may ask? Did they succeed? We speculate that the bubble was deliberately created, and its entire trajectory planned, to give certain highly-placed insiders absolute control over what has arguably become our most key communications sector. Nowhere is that stranglehold more evident than in today’s battle over social media censorship that is playing out in the run-up to the 2020 presidential election.

But let’s start by examining the bubble as it is typically explained.

“The dot-com bubble was a stock market bubble caused by excessive speculation in Internet-related companies in the late 1990s, a period of massive growth in the use and adoption of the Internet.” [1] The Telecommunications Act of 1996 [2] was expected to generate profitable new technologies. Investors were eager to invest, at any valuation, in any Internet-related company. Venture capital flowed freely, and investment banks profiting from initial public offerings fueled additional speculation by encouraging investment in the sector. Investors overlooked traditional metrics—sky-high debt-to-equity ratios and negligible earnings per share—in hopes of cashing in. Stock prices kept levitating, as hot money rushed into the new sector in a speculative frenzy, creating a bubble that kept inflating. Media commentary hyping the potential of dot-com companies pervaded the airwaves.

Federal government assistance, in the form of venture capital, promoted dozens of key companies in the rapidly-expanding telecomm sector. The bubble made well-placed insiders instant billionaires, enabling them to secure present and future dominance over what has become the most influential communications sector.

CIA’S NON-PROFIT TECHNOLOGY PARTNER, IN-Q-TEL

In-Q-Tel (formerly Peleus and In-Q-It) is a not-for-profit venture capital firm in Arlington, Virginia. It invests in high-tech companies for the sole purpose of equipping the Central Intelligence Agency, and other intelligence agencies, with the latest information technology. [3], [4]

IQT was conceived around 1998 as a new way for the CIA to acquire and fund new technologies useful to the national security mission. It was established as a legal entity in February, 1999.

“IQT identifies startups with potential for high impact on national security and works closely with them to deliver new capabilities that our government partners need to boost their technological edge.” Its own website declares that IQT invests in commercially-focused, venture capital-backed startups, identifying and adapting off-the-shelf products capable of deployment in 6 to 36 months. Currently it focuses on data analytics, cybersecurity, AI/machine learning, ubiquitous computing, IT solutions, communications, materials/electronics, the commercialization of space, power & energy, and biotechnology. [5] “IQT works side-by-side with the venture capital community to identify cutting-edge technology that has the potential for commercial success, but more importantly, the potential for high national security impact.”

This approach finds and delivers critical, innovative technology quickly and cost effectively. In-Q-Tel’s private-sector participation, funding, and acquisition of cutting-edge technologies is not necessarily sinister. Like any tool, technology has the potential for good or evil, depending on how it is used. But who has oversight over the independent nonprofit corporation besides its own board of directors?

HISTORY OF CIA ABUSES: PROJECT MOCKINGBIRD

Operation Mockingbird was a CIA program dating to circa World War II that enlisted journalists, American and worldwide, to spread propaganda—fake news—to manipulate public opinion. [6] (Sound familiar?) Mockingbird enlisted journalists and even clergy in intelligence-gathering roles. Cooperative media companies included CBS, Time, New York Times, ABC, NBC, AP, UPI, Reuters, Hearst Newspapers, Scripps‑Howard, Newsweek, Mutual Broadcasting System, Miami Herald, Saturday Evening Post and New York Herald‑Tribune.

Senator Frank Church’s April 1976 committee uncovered CIA ties to foreign and domestic news media. [7] It also brought to light the existence of the CIA’s infamous heart-attack gun. The Committee heard that former CIA director William Colby had instructed, in 1973, that “as a general policy, the Agency will not make any clandestine use of staff employees of U.S. publications which have a substantial impact or influence on public opinion.” In 1976, then-CIA Director George H. W. Bush announced that the CIA would no longer “enter into any paid or contractual relationship with any full-time or part-time news correspondent accredited by any U.S. news service, newspaper, periodical, radio or television network or station.” Those weasel-words do not rule out delegating such functions to subcontractors, affiliated entities, unaccredited writers, or the use of propaganda in specific instances rather than “as a general policy”.

Pulitzer Prize-winning author Carl Bernstein’s acclaimed exposé uncovering Operation Mockingbird was published in Rolling Stone on October 20, 1977. [8] Did these exposures end the clandestine program, or did it morph into a less-recognizable form? Has the drastic consolidation of media ownership and advent of social media simply become Mockingbird version 2?

How can the public ascertain if past CIA abuses have been rectified and are not occurring through, perhaps, its technology alter-ego IQT, or through public companies that sprang to life when infused with IQT venture capital? The Congressional committee with intelligence oversight responsibility, chaired by Rep. Adam Schiff, has shown it cannot be trusted. Mr. Schiff has lied about classified intelligence with which he was entrusted in his “Gang of Eight” [9] role. In the Trump administration, the CIA is under new management (directors Mike Pompeo, then Gina Haspel). The Director of National Intelligence, John Ratcliffe, is new in that role. Should the American people trust our national security organizations, in light of the long history of past abuses?

Today’s world, rife with fake news, and big tech collecting and selling user information to target the wary public, exhibits striking parallels.

DARPA LIFELOG: TRANSFORMED INTO FACEBOOK?

Whose brilliant idea was it to create a honeypot so seductive, so ubiquitous, that people worldwide would commit all their significant life events, people connections, likes and dislikes, photographs, etc. to an online repository? Such a database would surely simplify intelligence-gathering. When the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) of the U.S. Department of Defense conceived the project, they called it LifeLog. Some posit that LifeLog simply burrowed underground by transforming itself into Facebook.

LifeLog’s 2003 bid solicitation proposed “an ontology-based (sub)system that captures, stores, and makes accessible the flow of one person's experience in and interactions with the world”. It aimed to trace the threads of a person’s life by capturing “all of a subject's experience, from phone numbers dialed and e-mails viewed to every breath taken, step made and place gone”. [10] It sought to compile a database of every activity and relationship, even credit card purchases, web sites visited, content of telephone calls, e-mails and instant messages, scans of hardcopies faxed or mailed, books and magazines read, television and radio selections, physical location recorded via wearable GPS sensors, and biomedical data from wearable sensors. The purpose was to identify "preferences, plans, goals, and other markers of intentionality" [11] – in other words, to anticipate everything that a person might do as a result of exercising their “free will”. If all causes and effects are identified, could an organization manipulate the causes in order to produce specific effects – i.e. to deprive people of their free will by manipulating everything they see and hear?

The LifeLog program was canceled in February, 2004. [12] In a peculiar “coincidence”, Facebook was launched on February 4, 2004. By 2009, it had become the world's most used social networking service.[13] Can one prove that Facebook is the direct successor of LifeLog? Can one disprove it? You be the judge.

REINING IN SOCIAL MEDIA CENSORSHIP

The existence of extreme censorship and exclusively left-leaning political bias by Big Tech is not debatable—despite testimony from Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, Apple CEO Tim Cook, Google CEO Sundar Pichai, and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg at a July 27, 2020 antitrust hearing, downplaying the practice with virtue-signalling and disingenuous statements on their commitment to serve users.

Insiders and whistleblowers have revealed administrative tools that Twitter uses for censorship. [14] This year Twitter officially admitted its controversial practice of shadowbanning—limiting the distribution or visibility of user posts in a way that’s difficult to detect—via updated terms of service.

Congressman Jim Jordan wrote to Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey in advance of the July 27th hearing seeking data on its censorship practices. “Recent actions suggest that Twitter is increasingly discriminating against conservative voices on its platform,” Jordan wrote. As an example, he cited President Trump’s tweet on absentee voting, which Twitter fact-checkers alleged to contain “potentially misleading information.” Jordan refuted the allegation with facts from the bipartisan Commission on Federal Election Reform, which stated as far back as 2005 that “absentee ballots remain the largest source of potential voter fraud” in American elections. More recently, Obama’s Commission on Election Administration likewise found that “when [voter fraud] does occur, absentee ballots are often the method of choice.” [15]

Who knows which 3-letter agencies, or their black-budget counterparts, are still entrenched at CIA, In-Q-Tel, Facebook, Twitter, Google, or other social media giants—burrowed in deeply like a blood-sucking tick and lurking in the shadows, while subtly exerting control? Or even worse, have private entities totally outside of government oversight taken over the role of guiding society according to globalist goals?

It does appear that the CIA’s intentions, when it formed Project Mockingbird, were shady at best. Did the marriage of convenience with mainstream media giants turn into an abusive relationship in which MSM and Big Tech got the upper hand, sucking up the venture capital fertilizer and growing beyond expectations, a virtual Jack-and-the-Beanstalk? When examining covert programs, it is difficult to assess intent. Motivations are often concealed under layers of ambiguity and disinformation. It is conceivable, but not absolutely provable, that governmental intelligence-gathering did morph into the social media profiling that infests society today.

Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act [16] protects online platforms from liability for their users’ posts. The key phrase says “No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider.” This law has shielded platforms from suit, allowing them to moderate users’ content without responsibility for defamatory content.

With President Trump's May 28, 2020 executive order [17] declaring internet companies “publishers” when they use their extraordinary powers to regulate speech and inject their own editorial bias by suppressing conservative speech, we are now seeing the next phase of information warfare play out.

The stranglehold that companies like Twitter, Facebook, Google, etc. had over information flows played a huge role in political victories by the Radical Left, that resulted in the presidency of Barack Obama and the continued domination by globalist, big-government interests.

Will President Trump's order to reassert Americans' first-amendment right of free speech be effective in returning our society to a more balanced posture, where voices from both the Right and the Left have equal opportunities for debate and discourse? Will a new “truth ecosystem” like the American Broadcasting CommUnity (ABCU|8) be effective in freeing us from the oppressive media sector? Can Americans’ moribund acceptance of censorship be overturned through a resurrection of free speech, honest journalism, and courteous, lively debate?

Trump Calls on Supreme Court to Restore Defamation Laws

Combatting the Attack on Traditional Values

by American Broadcasting CommUnity - ABCU|8

Traditional values promote the sound functioning of families and strengthen the fabric of society. [2] This is not complicated! Society is comprised of people with finite lifetimes. Thus, society must be continuously regenerated via reproduction to create new individuals.

How do babies acquire the cultural knowledge to mature into adults? They learn by imitation, plus overt teaching from elders.

For thousands of years, the best structure for children's upbringing is identical to the basic unit of procreation: one male and one female, unified in purpose, and bonded by love into a stable nuclear family. Families are formed to support and nurture kids, and to educate them. Moreover, humans are biologically hard-wired to facilitate nuclear families. Marriage and family may not be for everyone, but it is the natural path for most. Henry Makow, Ph.D., writes, "A woman expresses love in terms of surrender, i.e. trust. She empowers her husband by accepting his leadership, and by believing in him. Women exchange power for love. They want to be dominated by their husband's love." "When a woman surrenders to her husband, she gives him the power to grant her wishes, or not. He does not exploit, control or dominate. He respects her individuality and freedom. He wants her to want to be his. He consults and nurtures. He makes the final decision. Every family needs a head. A creature with two heads is a monster." [4] This is not a religious doctrine, but an accurate insight into human psychology.

Think of culture as a container for passing on the aggregate knowledge and experiences of past generations. It encompasses the social behavior and norms (acceptable conduct) of human societies, as well as the knowledge, beliefs, arts, laws, customs, capabilities, and habits of individuals in these groups. [3] And Western culture is the heritage of social norms, ethical values, traditional customs, belief systems, political systems, artifacts and technologies that originated in Europe, including countries whose histories are strongly connected to Europe by immigration, colonization, or influence. [5]

Ivory-tower academics and social justice warriors demanding automatic rejection of Western culture are really advocating the death of our society. It is ludicrous to expect each generation to reinvent agriculture, science, mathematics, literature, engineering, art, music, etc. from scratch every 20 years. Our vast cultural "memory" is what sets us apart from animals and savages. Instead of rejecting our culture, we should reject the insidious forces that are degrading it.

We are in the advanced stages of a long-term conspiracy to subvert Western civilization. 20th century "modernism" was a hoax designed to strip people of their familial, cultural and religious identity before enslaving them in a new dark age. The central tactic is an anti-family agenda to dissolve the bonds of cohesiveness within society. Social disintegration leads to psychological confusion in which homosexual and transgender confusion are considered chic and even admirable. [1, 4]

Feminism says women should become more like men, seizing tools like aggression and power, rather than employing feminine tools like subtlety and influence that respect men's natural authority. This in turn robs (castrates) men of their natural role as protector and leader of a family. "Two people cannot become one if they have competing agendas." [4]

Promiscuity and pornography destroy the intimacy that bonds a man and a woman. "Think of heterosexuality as monogamous and dedicated to rearing children; homosexuality as promiscuous and concerned with sex for its own sake. Porn is creating new generations of heterosexuals who behave like homosexuals" [6] I.e., promiscuously, without the intent to raise a family or pass on the cultural knowledge that underpins society's continuation.

These and similar tactics cause women and men to reject one another, so that neither can get the love or stability needed for a fulfilling adult life. Without stable nuclear families, what few children are born lack guidance on their roles and responsibilities in society. This, in turn, engenders further cultural degradation.

The way forward is a return to our cultural roots. Founding groups should reassert their values and traditions as the common glue. Minorities should be welcomed, but we should not let them remake society in their own image. [1]

Above all, each person should reexamine their personal attitudes in light of traditional values, lest we inadvertently adopt enemy tactics as our own beliefs. We must study our own culture and embrace what is good in it. Understanding the attacks on Western civilization will enable us to counteract them. Taking our forebears' wisdom to heart, and incorporating our ancestors' virtues into our personal lives, puts us on a path to rebuild society.

HELP THEM LEAVE THE SWAMP

by Aspen - ABCU|8 staff - American Broadcasting CommUnity

If you find yourself a few steps ahead of somebody on the path, shine your light on the path so they can see their way.

They are in the swamp. They just discovered it's a swamp, and they're having a hard time getting out. Don't get mad at them for being stuck there. Help them out.

We have all stepped in the mud. It's the human condition. We are all too familiar with that clammy, sticky, sinking feeling. That heavy feeling of being unsure. Of doubting ourselves. Of questioning how we got here and whether to continue, or turn around now and find a better route. Do we cling to the familiar, or summon our courage and dare to discard false and useless beliefs?

So let's talk about how. These are people we care about! A wife or husband, parent, sibling, adult child, neighbor. It does no good to berate them for being stuck in a bad place.

Light. That's what they need. Your radiance will draw them forward.

Arise, shine, for your light has come,

and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.

For behold, darkness shall cover the earth,

and thick darkness the peoples;

but the Lord will arise upon you,

and his glory will be seen upon you.

And nations shall come to your light,

and kings to the brightness of your rising.

Isaiah 60:1-3 [1]

You don't have to be a whole encyclopedia of current news and events. Or of timeless truths. Just show them how one thing they thought was true is actually false.

It's like unravelling a sweater. It doesn't matter where you start. Keep pulling any loose strand and it's bound to disintegrate. It's inevitable! Just find that one angle, and work it.

Who told the lie? Was it a trusted news anchor? A media personality? Can you show that they lied knowingly? That's how you open Pandora's Box!

We can perhaps forgive people who tell lies in ignorance. But someone who tells fiction, KNOWING it's not true? Someone who deliberately misleads thousands or even millions of viewers? That's a whole different story!

Telling a big lie on purpose invites us to question motivations.

So let's pick one big lie, as an exercise. Pull out that one card, and watch the whole house of cards collapse!

Why does (insert their favorite media: Fox News, MSNBC, NPR, etc.) tell us Joe Biden is winning an election? The few times Joe emerged from the basement, his rallies were like a ghost town. There is no enthusiasm at all for a Biden presidency. Contrast with President Trump's rallies. So much energy! Flash mobs assembled on short notice. A sea of red hats everywhere. Amazing energy! A 96 mile parade of "Trump cars" in Arizona. Hundreds of thousands who couldn't get into the venue, livestreaming each event!

Why does MSM want us to believe Joe Biden is good for America? Why does MSM ignore a mountain of evidence on the Biden Crime Family's ties to the Chinese Communist Party? [2] Wouldn't a presidency blackmailed and controlled by China be THE most newsworthy headline? But we don't see it. MSM won't cover it.

So think about it! Why would the Big Six media empires want Americans to cringe at the idea of more liberty? To apologize for our values? To kow-tow to Chinese overlords? To relinquish our freedoms in favor of a dystopian nightmare? To raise taxes and wreck the economy, in a return to the squalor and hopelessness of the Obama years?

You see how it's done? Pick your own example, something you are passionate about. Then keep tugging at that loose yarn.

Together, we expose the lies. Together, we kindle one another's light. Together, we shall illuminate the path out of the swamp!

With Recounts and Lawsuits Pending, and Sweeping Evidence of Voter Fraud, It's Far too Early to Call the Race

by John Cleer - ABCU|8

As President Trump tweeted yesterday,

"Joe Biden should not wrongfully claim the office of the President. I could make that claim also. Legal proceedings are just now beginning!" [1]

Trump's campaign has filed lawsuits in Pennsylvania and Michigan for not allowing votes to be observed, in Georgia for mixing in late ballots with valid ballots and in Nevada for counting votes from out-of-state and dead voters; and they have asked to join the lawsuit against Arizona, for rejecting a ballot on grounds that it was damaged with a Sharpie that the poll worker gave the voter and refusing to give her a new ballot. Pennsylvania is also being sued for changing the law right before the election to allow 3-day late ballots. [1]

Rudy Giuliani has announced that the Trump campaign will file additional voter fraud lawsuits in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh on Monday and that, contrary to the MSM's aggressive assertions that there is no evidence of fraud, he has 90 poll watchers ready to testify as witnesses. [2]

“Those mail-in ballots [in PA] could have been for anyone they wrote in,” Mr. Giuliani said. “Not a single one was inspected as the law required.” He estimated 300,000 mail-in ballots weren't inspected in Pittsburgh, and puts that number around 700,000 for the state of Pennsylvania, "the same amount of votes Trump led by in the Keystone State on election night." (newspaper quoted, not Giuliani) [3]

As in the other swing states, there were numerous irregularities in Michigan but the one with the widest implications is the "glitch" in Dominion Voting Systems, who happen to have donated to the Clinton Foundation and employ Nancy Pelosi's former Chief of Staff indirectly as a lobbyist.

[4]

Dominion's software changed 6,000 votes from Republican to Democrat in one Michigan county, which were reversed after the county clerk caught the "malfunction"; a similar but unspecified "glitch" in Dominion Systems was discovered and temporarily stopped voting in Georgia.

"Dominion Democracy Suite 5.5" software was in use in 69 Michigan counties on Election day, and in every battleground state. [5]

Furthermore, the Trump Campaign has requested a recount in Wisconsin, Georgia's Secretary of State has already announced a recount there and the Supreme Court ruled that late ballots in PA must be separated. Trump's team continues to fight in court to be allowed to observe votes in Pennsylvania, as mandated by Pennsylvania law.

The outcome of the election will depend on the outcome of these and other lawsuits, and it's safe to say that Biden and the biased media networks are lying or at best, reporting irresponsibly, when they say that he won.

After the MSM "announced" Biden's victory, Trump said the following:

“We all know why Joe Biden is rushing to falsely pose as the winner, and why his media allies are trying so hard to help him: they don’t want the truth to be exposed. The simple fact is this election is far from over. Joe Biden has not been certified as the winner of any states, let alone any of the highly contested states headed for mandatory recounts, or states where our campaign has valid and legitimate legal challenges that could determine the ultimate victor. In Pennsylvania, for example, our legal observers were not permitted meaningful access to watch the counting process. Legal votes decide who is president, not the news media.

“Beginning Monday, our campaign will start prosecuting our case in court to ensure election laws are fully upheld and the rightful winner is seated. The American People are entitled to an honest election: that means counting all legal ballots, and not counting any illegal ballots. This is the only way to ensure the public has full confidence in our election. It remains shocking that the Biden campaign refuses to agree with this basic principle and wants ballots counted even if they are fraudulent, manufactured, or cast by ineligible or deceased voters. Only a party engaged in wrongdoing would unlawfully keep observers out of the count room – and then fight in court to block their access.

“So what is Biden hiding? I will not rest until the American People have the honest vote count they deserve and that Democracy demands.” [6]

In contrast with these dishonest media networks, the Epoch Times has posted a notice on top of their site that gives their readers an honest picture of how the race will be decided:

"Our nation is moving into uncharted territory as multiple legal challenges have been filed in response to the 2020 elections, with more challenges expected to come.

"Both candidates have claimed victory in certain states, but it appears increasingly likely that this election will be resolved in the courts.

"For that reason, The Epoch Times will not declare a winner of the 2020 presidential election until all results are certified and any legal challenges are resolved." [7]

The Western Journal, rather than citing legally-contested, dubious vote counts, is posting critical articles acknowledging that "CNN, Fox News, ABC, NBC, CBS, The New York Times and The Associated Press all called the race prematurely" and that "the race is only called when states officially certify their respective election results," and noting Trump's strong disagreement with the announcement without disparaging him. They've also noted "there is ongoing litigation in Pennsylvania and other states. Officially, the presidential race will likely not be decided for some time, as President Donald Trump is expected to exercise all legal options amid allegations of voting irregularities." [8]

This is honest reporting, it's what real journalists do. Ignoring the wealth of evidence that there was (and still is) widespread voter fraud this year and declaring victory in the face of it is a job for partisan lobbyists.

Preemptively attacking claims of voter fraud for years on end leading up to an event like this one, as these same pundits have done, should be seen as a sign of guilt and complicity.

TICKET TO FREEDOM

by Aspen – ABCU|8 staff writer

The war is on! In case you had not noticed.

The prize being fought over? You! Your mind. Your beliefs. Your loyalty to an idea – THEIR idea.

What's at stake? Only your freedom.

Their weapons? Fake news. Narratives. False reporting. Pretense. Indoctrination. Repetition.

Insidious psychological weapons. Some overt, some subtle.

Echo Chamber: reinforces beliefs by repetition inside a closed system

It's a game with a high ante. The big players are all in.

The venue: Mass media. Entertainment programming. TV news. Social media.

Why are polls emphasized?

Is it human nature to go along with the majority to feel accepted?

What if the enemy could win without kinetic weapons?

Lure the slaves into their cages. Make them long for their chains.

It sounds too easy. Who would fall for that?

Very sophisticated optical illusions.

Reinforced by constant repetition.

Bombarding you from every side.

They want you to be comfortable in the mental cage prepared for your capture.

Beware! Because the trap is already set. Steel jaws dripping with honeyed poison may snap shut at any moment.

There's no time to waste! Don't hesitate. Do you hear the sirens screaming? Distance yourself from mainstream media! Get away!

How do you resist? Or even fight back?

You must become aware of their tactics.

You must reject the poison.

You must think for yourself.

You must elevate your view.

You are the MAJORITY - by far - and GROWING.

FAKE NEWS' purpose is to project FALSE NARRATIVES.

Get your feet out of the swamp!

Come aboard the resistance!

Shun the glossy fake news and its robotic chorus of talking heads.

They are actors reading a script, paid to portray sincerity.

Shun the mass brainwashing.

What is projected by the MSM?

LIES becomes TRUTHS.

TRUTHS become LIES.

Smoke & Mirrors

You are the MAJORITY.

People UNITED & AWAKE is their BIGGEST FEAR.

Do not be lulled by cheap sound bites, like fast food that gratifies without satisfying.

Reject quick takes and easy answers.

Mind-candy is not spiritual comfort food!

Drill deeper to penetrate their flimsy canvas of lies.

Take nothing at face value. Question relentlessly.

Lift the veil!

Find any bit of truth that MSM refuses to cover.

Grab that ticket to freedom.

Use it to check out from the prison.

Did you know that dwelling there is voluntary?

Now sift the truth from the lies.

Ask yourself, if this is true, then WHY does MSM refuse to mention it?

Delve into motivations.

This will illuminate one strut of the cage.

Seek ideas that clash with the narrative.

Not all all true – so evaluate each one in the privacy of your mind.

Pry off the zombie tentacles. See a shackle, take it off!

Let my people GO!

Whatever truths you have found - grasp them tightly!

Then you will not be swept away by the tsunami of lies.

Over time, you become impervious to liars.

You are an independent thinker!

Each truth is a beacon of clarity.

The spotlight of truth shuts down fearmongers' indignant cries.

Fake News lost its authority long ago.

Each lie we catch them in, diminishes them.

As morning sun dispels a chilly mist

Bring truth, and the illusion fails.

That’s the ticket!

Birth Pangs of the National Psyche

by Aspen, ABCU|8 staff writer

The aftermath of a disputed presidential election is a bitter red pill. Hundreds of instances of ballot fraud have been documented. [1, 5] Numerous lawsuits are pending [4]. Yet Big Tech takes sides against facts with a warning label: "This claim about election fraud is disputed!" [2]

No one is comfortable right now. The unsettled feeling pervades our waking hours, while sleep provides no relief. But the profound discomfort signals a sea change that could bring a new tide of free thought and optimism.

Don't believe me? Surveys reveal that early voters regret their vote for Joe Biden, after hearing about million-dollar payments to the Biden family from China, Russia, and Ukraine via Hunter Biden. [6] These voters say they would change their vote to Trump if it were possible. Others stubbornly cling to the notion, promoted uniformly by TV anchors, that a candidate who often can't even formulate a sentence is better qualified to conduct America's foreign affairs than a successful, high-energy businessman whose aura often flashes genius.

According to Lindsey Graham, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, the hatchet-job to wreck Donald Trump's reputation began long before his inauguration: "Compare that to the September CIA memo to the FBI suggesting that Hillary Clinton signed off on a plan to link Trump to Russia, to draw attention away from her email server problem. This is our CIA telling the FBI they have credible information and investigative leads that Hillary Clinton, the Democratic nominee, is trying to link Trump to Russia for political purposes and the FBI apparently threw it in the garbage can. Christopher Steele, who was on the payroll of Fusion GPS, who was on the payroll of the Democratic party, provided a dossier that used a Russian source suspected of being a Russian agent years before, that turned out to be a bunch of garbage. The whole idea of Trump/Russia connections was not real, it was manufactured in part by Christopher Steele, and the FBI bought it hook, line and sinker. When the CIA sends information to the FBI that they have intelligence that Hillary Clinton signed off on a plan to connect Trump to Russia to divert attention from her, nobody at the FBI did a damn thing about it." [8]

What does it mean when the facts don't square with our beliefs? What if some of the alleged facts are true? What if some of our most trusted news sources have been paid to promote an agenda? If the Biden family could be working for Chinese Communists, who else might be?

This disturbing feeling is cognitive dissonance. What if some of our trusted news sources are actually black hats working to undermine America? Recall the Matrix movie:

"The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inert, so hopelessly dependent on the system that they will fight to protect it. This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill—the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill—you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes. I'm trying to free your mind, Neo. But I can only show you the door. You're the one that has to walk through it." [3]

Our belief systems are threatened. It is natural to automatically reject new information that contradicts long-held ideas. It doesn't take a Matrix argument to understand why America is undergoing collective birth pangs. Painful circumstances are demanding that we re-examine our entrenched beliefs. As our former world view crumbles, let us vow to replace it with a more accurate one predicated upon truth.

Freedom Seeds

by Aspen - ABCU|8 team

Before people started to notice, you felt it. With a little tickle, something awoke in fertile soil at the back of your mind. It's always been there, able to germinate at any time, pending the right conditions.

What quickens a freedom seed? Love. It's really that simple: it responds to love. When did it start? Did you notice the new possibilities first, or were you tired of being stuck in a rut? Or was it the insistent cumulative vibration of hive-mind peers that jolted you out of a suffocating dream?

That's the sound of the great awakening. It's affecting every one of us in unforeseen ways.

Imagine if the world chose a different path, a better path. "Love one another, as I have loved you," Jesus said. Trusting the promise, the seed spontaneously extends toward the light, with neither fear nor longing, only the natural gesture of growth. Bathed in divine radiance, its inner nature silently unfolds, extending into a perceptible presence. In an atmosphere of love, even arrested development must proceed inexorably toward maturity. The luminosity of our love benefits others in unfathomable ways.

"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." In a burgeoning chorus, your seed hears other seeds activating, like the strident voices of spring peepers singing out from a shallow pond. But we are speaking of an invisible web of the spirit, transporting vibrations of the heart. Nothing can stop what is coming! Our shared dream cannot be crushed or silenced. You are not alone; you were never alone.

Peek into the rear-view mirror at the detritus left behind. Collectively, humanity is turning the page on a reprehensible chapter where evil was allowed to thrive. In darkness, its deeds remained hidden, and it flourished. Its dark coils tightened ever so gradually that we remained unaware. Vampire-like, evil shuns exposure. "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing," wrote Edmund Burke. Only now, at the precipice of destruction, do people find the will to change. To prevent the triumph of evil, we must confront the truth of its heinous acts. (And frankly, in an honest examination, we are bound to confront the truth of our own misdeeds and shortcomings too. In this process, we must face our own errors with courage and vow to do better.)

Looking ahead: the best is yet to come. We are the insistent voices, holding fast to an idea: life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness. Our nation has drifted far from these fundamental truths. We relinquished God-given rights in favor of cheap entertainment. Unwholesome demands on our time stole our attention and energy. Our compass wavered and we lost our way. We let the Mockingbirds twist words, until the Founders' ideas seemed a dull phantom.

Your root is strong. Allow it to penetrate into bedrock truth.

What is life? You feel it! Didn't the breath of God raise you from inert matter into human form?

What is liberty? Discard the mental shackles! Don't you have the power to create, to imagine, and thereby to change the world?

What is happiness? Is it pleasure or satisfaction? Isn't it the ability to pursue your dreams and decide your own future?

Trust that there are a lot more people good than bad. Evil has no place here. The world will unite in this cause. Ultimately, love is the force that rescues humanity from darkness.

America Needs Truth Therapy

by Aspen - ABCU|8 team

Our world is truth-starved. Truth is non-negotiable. It is my bottom line, and it should be your bottom line. No matter what your faith (or no faith), the practice of truth is fundamental. There can be no logic, without a set of facts upon which logic depends.

―Christian: “I am the way, and the truth, and the life” [1]

―Buddhist: Remove all ideas and concepts, in order for the truth to have a chance to reveal itself. [2]

―Hindu: A truthful person must be a practitioner of truth in word and deed. [6]

―None of the Above: “If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.” ― Mark Twain [5]

―“The truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off.” ― Joe Klaas, Twelve Steps to Happiness [5]

Are all truths empirically verifiable? Of course not. Some arise through contemplation, discernment, or logic. Although human sensory perception can be tricked by optical illusions that game our nervous system's chemical reactions [7], we must not abandon our embrace of truth.

Just how far has society strayed from truth? The mainstream media can no longer be trusted. “The press in our country no longer seek to record events and report them. They seek to shape events.” Rep. Matt Gaetz [3] Big Tech employs 'fact checkers' whose job is what George Orwell called 'thought police'. By limiting what may be said in public discourse, these deep-state minions―these leftist desk-jockey mercenaries―aim to completely extinguish our freedom of speech.

The MSM is now a full-fledged propaganda arm of the Marxists. They will NOT tell the truth outside of their narrative. And the purpose of their narrative is to create a compliant slave population who will follow orders like obedient sheep, willingly relinquishing every right that our Constitution and Bill of Rights affords us. [4] And we are shamed if we resist.

“Congress is not going to rein in Big Tech, because Congress is bought by Big Tech,” Rep. Matt Gaetz said. “There are just simply too many members of the House and Senate who are beholden to Big Tech either because of political donations or because their family members are getting employed by Big Tech.” [8]

Small lies that people shrugged off as commonplace―e.g. calling in sick to get a day off from work when you are not sick―have been replaced by enormous lies that serve the globalist agenda. Consider global warming, for one example. It's a lie underpinned by falsified data that has been thoroughly debunked, yet remains widely believed due relentless propaganda [9]. Is it really necessary for scientists to exaggerate to get our attention? Or does that set a really bad precedent?

Our ability to make accurate judgments and to plan for the future becomes compromised when the data we believe is false. False data undercuts our reasoning power, and thereby destroys free will. When we lose free will, we are slaves. And when the slaves don't even know they're slaves, all is lost.

The solution? Truth therapy. We must become relentless in our pursuit of truth. We must relearn forgotten skills. We must go outside the system to ascertain facts for ourselves. That means taking responsibility to read, listen, view, research. Real news exhibits courteous controversy between reasoned viewpoints. Real news includes incomplete information and differing vantage points, as well as opinions arising from different backgrounds and life experiences. That means rejecting predigested viewpoints and actually thinking for ourselves.

If a mainstream media outlet is found to be lying, then we must deny it the power to influence us ever again, by disregarding it. The same is true for elected officials, scientists, educators, celebrities, etc. And we must become a light that shares truth with others, giving them the opportunity to resurrect long-suppressed reasoning skills. “No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house.” [10] Be the light; insist on truth!

The Media's Role in This Year's Election Fraud, and the Need for Accountability

by John Cleer | ABCU8

The liberals been telling us there’s no election fraud of any kind for at least four years, since Candidate Trump said there were millions of illegal votes being cast for Hillary. Obama that year said it was impossible to rig a US election. This argument if you can call it that was punctuated for 3 years with shrieks that Russia rigged our election.

[1]

I can’t even read the Clintons’ names without my eyes rolling into the back of my head; overwhelming evidence of their wrongdoing over the years has gone public (and is readily searchable on Breitbart) and yet, not one charge has been prosecuted. Hillary’s campaign emails were leaked in 2016exposing, along with the Judicial Watch FOIA emails, a number of seven-figure contributions to the Clinton Foundation from foreign governments that had every appearance of influence peddlingand we were told against all common sense that we must ignore them, as they were part of a RUSSIAN PLOT to interfere in our election by exposing corruption.

It’s since come out that the entire Russia plot was a lie, and one that John Brennan said, in a briefing to President Obama, was concocted by Hillary’s campaign “as a means of distracting the public from her use of a private email server.” The use of a private server in itself is important because Hillary Clinton was holding stolen SAP-level (above Top Secret) classified information on that server, and may have been using the server to sell it.

[2]

Yes, she stole those materials: classified government files on a private server have left the government’s possession, whether or not that server is subsequently breached. Even the Clinton-friendly NYT reported that her server was probably hacked–but what evidence do we have that the supposed hackers did so without permission? It’s a charitable assumption isn’t it? What were SAP files doing there in the first place? Foreign governments were dumping money into the Clinton Foundation and CGI right up to Hillary’s loss; after which the CGI was closed almost immediately, and the CF started losing money.

[3]

In retrospect you can see the Times setting up the Russia hoax in that article. They portrayed Hillary as being careless with intel, which happened to be Comey’s (nonsensical) rationale for not indicting her, without mentioning that she had to steal that intel in the first place to even have it on a private server. It was property of the US government. So why did she steal it?

After being caught, Clinton’s aides smashed her phones with hammers, “lost” her laptops “in the mail” and scrubbed her server with Bleachbit to obstruct investigation into whatever it was she did. They also attempted to retroactively declassify the materials in order to obscure their theft.

[4]

These are not only crimes, but they suggest that a larger crime took place sufficient to justify such measures, which likewise has yet to be prosecuted.

They also suggest that powerful figures on the Left have allies in the media who will lie for them, and do. If Brennan’s account (of Russiagate being a tool to distract from Clinton’s server) is to be believed, then the MSM did the job for her. For three whole years we were told that Russia put the fix in.

Now that the shoe’s on the other foot, the media is again incredulous at any suggestion of election tampering. A phantom candidate who can’t draw 50 people to a rally has set the record for popular votes after hiding in his basement for most of the election (including October) and achieved this despite receiving relatively few votes in person; and now the “evidence is coming in through a firehose” that his votes have been forged in a number of ways.

[5]

https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1328852352787484677

This won’t surprise anyone who watched as the narrative was established, months ago, that because of their fear of the covid virus, most Democrats would fill out their ballots in the privacy of their homes and vote by mail, making the in-person vote meaningless and true observation of most of the vote impossible. Trump would appear to win on election night, since Democrats were using the mail, and then according to the polls he would lose, no matter his lead. For the first time in history, the vote casting process for one party (the Dems) would largely escape observation.

But there are laws mandating that the counting of these mail-in ballots must allow poll watchers from both sides. Why then were swing state ballots being counted behind boarded windows in the middle of the night, with Republicans chanting “let us in” from outside, and how did Biden manage to receive 130,000 votes in a row under such conditions? This is statistically impossible; furthermore the ballots weren’t allowed to be observed. Afterward we were told Biden “won” the state by tens of thousands of votes.

[6]

OF COURSE this merits further investigation and will almost certainly be overturned–put Michigan and Pennsylvania in the bag for Trump, they weren’t even close. But many Americans think they were because they believe what they see on television: they trust the legacy media.

The media have abused this trust shamelessly and they must be investigated and held accountable in court for their role in promoting this fraud. Is there a massive body of evidence to support election fraud? Don’t even suggest that, says Jake Tapper, or you’ll lose your job. Don’t act up or we’ll impoverish you and your family will starve.

https://twitter.com/jaketapper/status/1325836769644982273?lang=en

This is open intimidation of the general public by a major news source. Was Tapper instructed to say this? Of course he was. By whom? In what other ways did they act to prevent a fair election?

Some portion of the MSM have caved and they now admit there was voter fraud but contend it wasn’t enough to sway the election, and insist this proclamation of theirs be accepted without further thought. I was surprised to see Tucker Carlson in this camp, employee though he be. This will follow him everywhere, he’s destroyed his own brand; it won’t matter what network he moves to when Fox News loses their market.

“The fraud that we can confirm does not seem to be enough to alter the election result,” Tucker says. “We should be honest and tell you that… But changing the election results is not the whole point.”

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/tucker-carlson-says-theres-not-enough-fraud-to-change-election-results-we-should-be-honest

The Chairman of the Federal Election Commision disagrees. “I do believe that there is voter fraud taking place in these places. Otherwise [swing state precincts] would allow the observers to go in…. if the law is not followed it makes this an illegitimate election.”

[7]

And as Rudy Giuliani said on November 5th, “a legal vote is a vote, whether it’s an absentee vote or a mail-in vote, that both sides get to observe … The law requires that we have the opportunity to oberve; we were denied the opportunity to observe, for 21 hours, throughout the state of Pennsylvania.”

https://twitter.com/glennbeck/status/1324403908853272580

Without getting into Dominion software or any of the statistical analyses that show systematic vote tampering, widespread count inaccuracies and a clear intent to cheat, Giuliani estimates the number of unobserved votes in PA alone at over 650,000.

[8]

Deliberate and forceful exclusion of poll watchers on such a scale should be enough to make the media pump the brakes on their narrative; but they aren’t. They continue to call Biden “President Elect,” hypnotically, as half of the country watches in a trance, without a clue that most of his votes are coming back. How will the MSM explain it to them when that happens? They will most likely incite the public to riot (again).

This is an organized effort to seize power by corrupting the vote, and restoring the rightful winner won’t be enough to restore trust in the government. Justice must be delivered, every aspect of this election that was falsified must be investigated, and every participant prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Every coup that’s been attempted during Trump’s presidency must be prosecuted vigorously.

Then we can revisit the Clintons.

Missions of Light - Introduction

by Aspen - ABCU|8 team

What is your Mission of Light? Are you one of those patriots who wants to help but is not quite sure how to begin? This series of articles "Missions of Light" is for you.

There are many roles in the cyber militia, as information warriors come in all shapes and sizes. Roles are available to fit each warrior's skills, interests, and time commitment.

The mainstream media are not doing their job, so we aim to replace them. Big media companies will become much less important. What is emerging is a grassroots collaboration inspired by common goals. The new organization is fluid and flexible, ever-changing and adapting as new tasks present themselves. Together, we are reshaping the world, replacing stale paradigms with fresh new ones tailored to our needs.

Mission 1. Research/Dig. The research mission is fundamental to all the others. Researchers uncover relevant facts using open sources. Avidly curious like a dog uncovering buried bones, they dig and dig until their appetite for facts is satisfied. They share their findings with others on forums, image boards, discords, blogs, or social media, documenting their discoveries to make the information available.

Mission 2. Meme. Memers often major in visual presentation skills. We value memers' ability to capture the essence of an idea in a few words accompanied by well-chosen images. They often use irony, humor, beauty, exaggeration, etc. to drive the message home. You don't have to be a Photoshop genius to become a great memer.

Mission 3. Social Media. This mission encompasses several subcategories. At a basic level, a social media warrior might begin by simply establishing accounts on twitter, parler, gab, instagram, etc. and Liking or Retweeting informative posts. Warriors with the journalist/writer specialty get information from a variety of sources and share it by tweeting, writing, podcasting, or posting. Their goal is not to imitate a mainstream media anchor, but to offer something the Mockingbird media lacks: candor, truth, and analysis.

Mission 4. Talk to people in your life. Some warriors are naturally gregarious, and strike up an easy conversation at the grocery store or with a delivery driver. They keep family in the loop by telephone, instant messaging, or email. They are good listeners and know how to ask the kinds of questions that lead others to uncover truths for themselves.

Mission 5. Pray/Encourage. Many in this movement are people of faith. "Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it." I Cor. 12:27 Recognizing that some are called as teachers, healers, administrators, givers, etc., those who select this mission encourage and support other warriors.

Mission 6. Local Politics. Some warriors exert their influence in the local sphere. They attend town or city council meetings, get a role in the homeowner's association, voice their opinions to the planning board, or run for a position on the school board. They write letters to the editor or publish a neighborhood newsletter. Through participation in public life, they establish liaisons with other patriots. While serving their community they become an advocate for local citizens. For some, a local beginning precedes their rise into state or national politics.

Mission 1—Research/Dig

by Aspen - ABCU|8 team

"The research mission is fundamental to all the others. Researchers uncover relevant facts using open sources. Avidly curious like a dog uncovering buried bones, they dig and dig until their appetite for facts is satisfied. They share their findings with others on forums, image boards, discords, blogs, or social media, documenting their discoveries to make the information available." [1]

Is this you? Do you dig research?

What to Dig

You will come across topics that are misunderstood, or incompletely understood. Trust your intuition. Some of these will instantly rise to the top of your personal priority list. If you're not sure, jot down a few notes while perusing news feeds. This phase need not be too rigorous; there are many worthy topics and any one of them may contribute to the Great Awakening.

What sources do you scrutinize to follow current events? There is no one-size-fits-all recommendation. In fact, our diversity strengthens us, as patriots fan out to cover different parts of the information sphere. You may find ideas on Facebook, Twitter, a favorite blog, alternative news, or even the TV. Twitter can be a goldmine of breaking news and opinion, if we ignore @Jack's suggestions and select Follows based on content, relevance, timeliness, and affiliation. With experience, you'll discern who to trust.

Use MSM sources with caution and a grain of salt—maybe a handful of salt. When talking heads speak in unison, that's a Mockingbird narrative—sleight of hand that says "Look here; don't look there." When [they] want to guide the public into thinking a certain way, we should dig around to identify what [they] are covering up.

How to Dig

Try the Open Source Intelligence framework [2]. Diggers assembled an enormous collection of research tools here [3]. Different search engines may produce radically different results. Google editorializes and omits, based on paid advertising and current information-management initiatives. [4] Duck Duck Go may be a better choice. [5] Yandex.com's image database is extraordinary. [6]

A screen-capture tool to snapshot work in progress can help keep the digs organized. Some prefer pen and paper, others a text editor to copy and paste URLs and longer text. If you like to work fast, don't get bogged down perfecting your notes; you will have a better idea of connections and importance as the dig proceeds. You may want to share intermediate results to get others engaged digging with you.

Develop your own techniques for digging on people. Try placing quotes around names, adding a middle initial, age, state, address, corporation, spouse, area code, or any other piece of known data to increase the scope of what you can find. For family connections, try the obituaries or ancestry.com. Real estate and property tax records can be enlightening. Sites like LinkedIn [8] are quite useful if you can log in. It is amazing what one can learn without using any paid services. Vary the search type from web to news to images to mine even more data.

As you learn how data is organized—e.g. which department keeps records of births, marriages, deaths, real estate ownership, corporations, LLCs or partnerships—you will be able to dig deeper. Contemporaneous newspaper articles that are often not well indexed can shed surprising light on a topic. Some diggers specialize in financial data, digging into SEC filings, corporate press releases, or the tax returns of charitable foundations. Any of these avenues can shed light on people or organizations.

Sharing the Results

How to share the results depends on the needs of your target audience. Always include links to sources so others can verify your dig and pursue it themselves, should they wish to. A combination of screenshots, web addresses (URLs), text, and most importantly, your own description of what you noticed, is a good formula to get started. Tools like Draw.io help communicate complex information. Drawing diagrams that show connections among data items helps make the data consumable. [7] Digs that result in high-quality maps tend to get shared widely.

Stay tuned! ABCU|8 plans further articles on the other Missions of Light.

Mission 2—Meme

by Aspen - ABCU|8 team

Have you seen memes that grabbed your attention quickly—memes that demanded being shared? Do you feel the call to meme?

"Memers often major in visual presentation skills. We value memers' ability to capture the essence of an idea in a few words accompanied by well-chosen images. They often use irony, humor, beaty, exaggeration, etc. to drive the message home." [1]

Memes (images with added text) are a valuable tool in our info warfare arsenal. They became popular with the rise of social media. An effective meme impacts the viewer in a fraction of a second. A really funny or ironic meme stands a good chance of being retweeted and spreading virally.

Memes are like the ultimate cluster munition. No blood loss, no damage to property—the only thing memes can destroy is a narrative. They cause brains unaccustomed to independent thought to begin mental exercise. They stimulate minds to question that which is, and to visualize that which could be. Unlike cluster munitions, memes can impact thousands in moments, yet their residual effect lingers as other minds encounter them later. Memes are the most dangerous of weapons, for they do not end, but create new beginnings.

Not all memes are created equal, though. This writer's "Tao of Memes" [2] picks apart meme examples and critiques them, with the goal of raising our craft to the next level. It discusses technical aspects like image selection, size and shape to maximize exposure, text and fonts, strategies, and graphics tools. You don't have to be an artist (but it helps); pithy verbiage alone can be a meme!

It would be foolhardy to ignore decades of marketing research on the psychology of influence. A superb meme presents an idea from the reader's perspective. To do this, a memer sets aside their own viewpoint and temporarily adopts a different person's perspective. Ask yourself if your meme should confront and punish, or get inside the viewer's head to tease, delight, or inspire? Is it deleted and not forwarded because it insults the viewer? What about foul language? There's a time and a place for it…but it's a turnoff for some viewer segments. Will it go viral? Is it funny? Wry? Sarcastic? Surprising? Emotional? Beautiful? Elevating? Memorable? Insulting? Provocative? Boring? What is the target audience?

If such questions intrigue you, give the Memer's Mission a try. Study others' memes on social media. Consider collaborating with a Researcher [3] to gain vital information that needs to be shared. When ready, select the hot topic of the day, and create a phrase to deliver your message. Select an appropriate image, apply your text, and let fly! The best memers perfect their craft through trial and error, observing what works and what doesn't. Ultimately, no one can predict which meme will go viral. Those who perfect the memer's craft are held in high esteem by fellow digital warriors.

Mission 3 — Social Media

by Aspen — ABCU|8 team

"Mission 3. Social Media. At a basic level, a social media warrior might begin by simply establishing accounts on twitter, parler, gab, instagram, Facebook, etc. and Liking or Retweeting informative posts." Missions of Light—Introduction, https://abcu8.co/2020/11/21/missions-of-light-introduction/

Social media offers a vital channel to catch breaking news that is disregarded by the mainstream media. Your social media networks are crucial for spreading information and influence. For descriptive purposes, we'll divide the social media mission into categories, from the easiest to the most advanced. Everyone can adopt at least a minor a social media warrior role, in addition to other Missions of Light.

A. Scout Role. Scouts scan information sources and share data wherever other warriors congregate. Scout is an intelligence role. They look for trends, identify friends and enemies, and highlight important breaking news. This role does not necessarily require a social media account. It's a good way to become familiar with social media.

B. Flank Role. Flanks have social media accounts, but do not need to originate tweets/posts. They establish networks of friends, and they follow others. When they see a post that serves the Great Awakening, they amplify it by Liking or Retweeting, to increase the message's prominence so it will be seen by more eyes.

C. Tactical Assault Role. These warriors establish an energetic social media presence and often accumulate large followings. They often comment forcefully about current events. Their opinions are influential, often swaying many others to their point of view. These opinion leaders become highly skilled at influence campaigns. They are completely familiar with all of the platform's nuances, traditions, and expectations. They know "who's who" and have strong relationships with other opinion leaders.

D. Social Media Personalities. These individuals became prominent outside of social media. They may be politicians, mainstream media commentators, journalists, talk show hosts, attorneys, and so forth. They are often primary sources who originate new information directly into cyberspace.

The best way to evaluate the possibility of taking on a social media mission is to begin at the Scout level and gain familiarity with a particular social platform. If the role fits your interest and skills, then set a firm intention about your goals and make a plan to achieve them. Make incremental progress each day and measure your performance against your own expectations. If problems arise (e.g. account suspended), seek advice from experienced social media warriors. Understand that Big Tech has rigged the game against conservatives. Find inspiration in tweets from patriots like @POTUS, @SidneyPowell1, @GenFlynn, @LLinWood, etc.

Never, ever, ever, give up!

Flynn Jr: Trump Campaign Statement on Powell has to do with Legal Funding

Michael Flynn Jr · @mflynnJR 17 hours ago ·

Wrt the @JennaEllisEsq press release

Cannot confirm yet but I’m confident this has to do w money coming in for legal defense fund sppt

@SidneyPowell has her own separate entity 4 legal donations that isn’t in conjunction w the Trump legal team

Frees SP 2 do her own thing…which will STILL b biblical.

Give this the 24 hour rule….

https://parler.com/profile/mflynnjr/posts

President Trump didn’t “disown” Sydney Powell and it wasn’t a wild statement from his campaign that distanced Powell, and you can disregard any RINO’s who say otherwise. The president’s campaign and legal team have their own rules to meet regarding funding.

There’s also the question of liability, regarding Powell’s press conferences: if she makes accusations against Dominion (which she has already has, repeatedly) as a member of the Trump campaign, Dominion could sue the Trump campaign for defamation. Would they win? NO. But that would give the Trump campaign another obstacle, and another judge, and they’re already under a tight deadline.

Further there are political implications, as Powell has accused Trump’s supposed ally, Governor Brian Kemp of Georgia, of getting kickbacks from Dominion Voting Systems in a pay-for-play scheme. Kemp, like Nancy Pelosi, has a former Chief of Staff lobbying for Dominion; unlike Pelosi, however, he is a Republican, and there will be other Republicans implicated in Georgia (which Powell says “is probably going to be the first state I’m blowing up”), and President Trump might not want to start a fight with his own party in the middle of all of this. [1]

He likely will also want to avoid accusations that he is prosecuting his political opponents.

So it’s perfectly sensible for the Trump Campaign to “officially” distance themselves from Powell right now, and she’s said she agrees with it. It also bears little relationship to the outcome of the election or any of the lawsuits regarding election fraud. So of course the Democrats are saying otherwise, they’re liars.

On Saturday, Jordan Sekulow, son of Trump’s longtime attorney Jay, made a similar statement to Powell’s regarding the Georgia election. [2]

Powell’s censored tweet that earned her a 12-hour ban linked this article: https://gnews.org/577635/ from the Bannon- and Giuliani-associated Chinese dissident who leaked what were likely blackmail pictures from Hunter Biden’s laptop last month. The article breaks down Soros’ and the CCP’s role in Dominion/Smartmatic/Sequoia vote rigging software. [3]

Nationwide, Powell claims that Biden’s votes were “weighted” at around 1.25 times under Dominion algorithms, while President Trump’s were weighted at .75, and 35,000 votes were given to every Democratic candidate on the undercard, in every race. Dominion, by design she says, allows administrators to drag and drop votes into the trash, which they did. “I think the fraud went much further than just President Trump,” she told Newsmax. “I think they did it to John James and others.” [1]

Across the country, 7 million votes were taken from Trump by Powell’s count, and 3 million dead people voted (probably all for Biden). This is much bigger news than the Trump campaign’s announcement, which appears to have been a formality. Why aren’t more conservatives talking about this? [4]

The evidence for all this will have to play out in the courts, and Powell is one of the top lawyers in the country. Reading pseudonomous clickbait writers call her a “conspiracy theorist,” misrepresent the Trump campaign and demoralize Trump’s base makes my blood boil. What about you? Are you ok with that?? [5]

Mission 3b — Write

by Aspen — ABCU|8 team

"Warriors with the journalist/writer specialty get information from a variety of sources and share it by writing, podcasting, or posting. Their goal is not to imitate a mainstream media anchor, but to offer something the Mockingbird media lacks: candor, truth, and analysis." [1]

Writer-warriors come in many varieties. Some are inclined to present their ideas in writing, others orally. This mission may be for you, if you have some skill expressing yourself in words, AND you feel a powerful urge to communicate your thoughts to others.

Intake of current events is essential for a writer-warrior. Interacting with others around trending topics will refine and sharpen your opinions. But before writing or podcasting, you must detach from your information sources long enough to formulate your own thoughts. Turning away from the information flow is a very hard step for those accustomed to constantly consuming data, but it is essential! Give yourself enough space to shape your thoughts into cogent text. If you are writing factual material, remember the W's: Who, What, Where, Why, When, hoW.

What to Write or Talk About

That's up to you! A real news ecosystem is diverse, not uniform. Expect incomplete data from several vantage points. Controversy is welcome when our disagreements are respectful and courteous. Naturally people with different backgrounds and life experiences will have differing opinions. Almost anything you are inspired to write about, needs to be written about! Topics from your direct personal experience are a great starting place. As you grow as a writer and pursue your interests, focus areas will emerge.

Where to Publish

To determine if the Writer-warrior mission is a fit, try your hand at writing short fact or opinion posts on forums, imageboards, or sites that permit commenting. Survey websites that deliver real news and pick a few. Learn about their editorial standards. Is there a maximum length? Style guidelines? How often do they publish? Are submissions accepted? Can you use a pseudonym? Are independent writers paid?

Consider the American Broadcasting CommUnity. ABCU|8 intends to create a better source of news than mainstream media outlets provide. It seeks to place YOUR VOICE back into the narrative. [2] Submissions are welcome.

For podcasting, consider the Tiger Network [3]. It also supports free speech. Streamers can livestream to YouTube, Twitch, Facebook, and more streaming sites at once, or upload videos. Guidance on livestreaming software is provided. [4] One way to find out if podcasting is your "thing" is to join a regular program as an invited guest.

The Writing Process

It is useful to divide the development of an article or podcast outline into two phases: a creative phase and a refinement phase. Experienced writers do this instinctively, but the technique can be learned.

In the creation phase, give yourself broad latitude to think or imagine anything! Jot down notes or ideas. Read or listen to inputs related to the topic. In this phase, you must suspend judgment. Do not attempt to evaluate "This is good; this is bad." The more concepts you juxtapose in a disorganized heap, the more creative you become! This is a very important secret.

In the refinement phase, narrow the scope by selecting specific ideas to include or exclude. Consider the target audience, what order to present your ideas, article length, and similar criteria. You either draft an outline, or start writing sentences and paragraphs. The article takes shape.

Now take a second pass. Re-read sentences and find ways to improve them. Use a thesaurus [5] to select better synonyms for stale words: sometimes viewing word suggestions leads to developments you had not considered! Ensure that the ideas are presented in the right order. Simplify awkward or wordy sentences. Most word processors offer options to check spelling and grammar. Double-check citations and footnotes for accuracy.

Continuous Improvement

Practice continually improves a writer's skill. Review your last post or article. Be honest: would you say it that way again, with what you know now? What reactions did you get? Was something misunderstood? Or did lights go on in people's heads—you succeeded in communicating?

Decide on your personal goal, and set a firm intention to achieve it. Be persistent! If you take a small step toward the goal each day, you will get there. What if you managed yourself like a business? You would measure your progress against set expectations, and evaluate yourself objectively, considering feedback from others. If some skills need improvement, you would backtrack and and execute a plan to fix them.

Above all, never, ever, ever, give up!

Mission 4 — Talk to People

by Aspen — ABCU|8 team

Listen and ask questions. The right kind of questions. Those are key to this mission.

"Some warriors are naturally gregarious, and strike up an easy conversation at the grocery store or with a delivery driver. They keep family in the loop by telephone, instant messaging, or email. They are good listeners and know how to ask the kinds of questions that lead others to uncover truths for themselves." [1]

If this is your mission, establishing close connections to lots of people is already in your nature. While it is very tempting to express one's views forcefully, direct confrontation can have the paradoxical effect of pushing away those we hope to persuade.

People can become combative when their belief system is threatened. Cognitive dissonance is a very real phenomenon. [2] When new information contradicts what a person has long believed—upon which their beliefs and behavior are based—it is natural to reject that information. This can reach a crescendo until the person suddenly realizes they have to reconsider their beliefs and stand down. Or perhaps they simply cannot tolerate the dissonance, and take steps to distance themself from it, like walking away from the conversation or rejecting the information source. Our entrenched beliefs, whether real or false, are intrinsic to our concept of ourself, therefore our ego, our personhood. When this feeling of "who I am" is threatened, a fight-or-flight adrenaline reaction may occur. We have all felt threatened by uncomfortable information that we had to evaluate and decide whether to believe.

Rather than alarming them and provoking cognitive dissonance—which might cause them to distance themself from you—consider an alternate approach. First, find out where they stand. What they believe. What information sources they trust. Then you are in a position to ask Socratic questions that could help them release programmed beliefs without hardening their position.

Socratic questions are focused, open-ended questions that encourage reflection. They can surface knowledge that was outside of our awareness, resulting in insightful perspectives and positive actions. They are "widely used in teaching and counseling to expose and unravel deeply-held values and beliefs that frame and support what we think and say." [3] Instead, you play dumb, acting as though ignorant of the subject. This encourages the other person to become active in exploring the question, and their beliefs concerning it.

You might start with questions that are not too far from what they already believe. Allow them time to consider the questions and react to them in their own way. This approach takes time, but the results can be rewarding. Truths that someone uncovers for themself are generally the most impactful. A Mission 4 warrior is successful to the degree that their family, friends and acquaintances relinquish tidy sound-bites and start thinking for themselves. Your goal is not to think for them, but to encourage the development of critical thinking and introspection skills in others.

Mission 6 — Local Politics

by Aspen — ABCU|8 team

"People get into local politics for reasons as varied as having a say in their community, trying to make a difference, or wanting to change policies they don’t agree with." [3]

Some warriors exert their influence in the local sphere. They attend town or city council meetings, get a role in the homeowner's association, voice their opinions to the planning board, or run for a position on the school board. They write letters to the editor or publish a neighborhood newsletter. Through participation in public life, they establish liaisons with other patriots. While serving their community they become an advocate for local citizens. For some, a local beginning precedes their rise into state or national politics. [1]

You can become an involved citizen by researching, volunteering, and using your voice. Are there issues in your community or on your local ballot that need a different approach?

The first step is to get a good understanding of local political structures. The internet offers a wealth of information. [2] Local officials might be called alderman, city council, town manager, mayor, county board of supervisors, county administrator, commissioner, selectman, etc. Also consider smaller bodies close to home—homeowners' association, school board, or planning board. Stay informed via local newspapers, TV, newsletters, or representatives' social media.

Research your elected officials. What are their names and roles? When are the elections held? Who are the incumbents? What initiatives or policies have they enacted or supported? How do they communicate with the public? What by-laws, statutes, charter, or regulations do they enforce? Find out where these local laws are documented and read them. Learn about the local budget and how the local government spends your taxes. Is there oversight over spending?

Attend meetings. Find out what open meetings a citizen can observe. "City council, board of education, and other board meetings are typically open to the public… they will help you understand the inner workings of your government and see your representatives in action…" [3] Another venue is a town hall meeting, where officials solicit the public's input. Come prepared to meetings with questions about policies, rules or viewpoints you want clarification on. This is also good preparation to become more comfortable speaking to the public.

Contact your representatives. There are many ways to share your point of view: social media, telephoning their staff or voice mail, writing letters and emails, and visiting their office to speak in person.

Are you prepared to take action? The only qualification is a desire to take on the responsibility! Leadership experience acquired by managing a small business or in the military may be helpful.

You could join a citizen advisory board. In this role, you work with other community members, giving your unique perspective on issues that affect you. You participate by doing research, taking public testimony, reviewing reports, and creating recommendations for local problems. [3] [4]

Finally, consider running for a local government office. There is no better way to create changes locally than by running for office yourself! After identifying an office of interest and submitting the paperwork, assemble a team and begin knocking on doors to make yourself known. If you’re affiliated with a party or group, ask them for support.

Be the change you want to see. A warrior with the local politics mission translates his or her belief and commitment into action! [5]

"Many in this movement are people of faith. Those who select this mission encourage and support other warriors." [1]

How to exercise one's faith is an individual matter. Each of us has different gifts. Some warriors are comfortable on the front lines, becoming active in civic affairs and local politics, sharing information on social media, writing, podcasting, or meming. Others prefer to remain inconspicuous. They are equally committed to the Great Awakening, but their chosen role is in the back room, helping and encouraging others. There are many ways to help.

Invisible Enemies

"Do (You) truly grasp what it means to have non-corporeal enemies? If (Your) enemies are non-corporeal, how can (You) fight [them]? If (You) do not know what [SPIRITUAL FORCES] are, how can (You) fight [them]? If (You) do not know what [RULERS] are, how can (You) fight [them]?" [6]

Ephesians 6:12 states that our enemies are not [flesh and blood], but [PRINCIPALITIES], [POWERS], [RULERS] of the darkness of this world, and [spiritual wickedness] in [high places]. The Aramaic to English/DIRECT translation of sheds light on non-corporeal enemies:

"Your hand-to-hand combat is not with human beings, but with the highest principalities and authorities operating in rebellion under the heavenly realms. For they are a powerful class of demon-gods and evil spirits that hold this dark world in bondage. Because of this, you must wear all the armor that God provides so you’re protected as you confront the slanderer, for you are destined for all things and will rise victorious. Put on truth as a belt to strengthen you to stand in triumph. Put on holiness as the protective armor that covers your heart." [7]

Prayer

The Invisible Enemy is no match for the Army of God's concerted spiritual weapons. "Pray one for another to be healed, for the power of the prayer which a righteous person prays is great." [2] "Pray without ceasing." [3] "Speak to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord." [4] “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea.” [5]

Focused Intention

Whether you believe in a Deity or not, you may wish to focus your intention in a very specific way. Think of the goals, hopes and dreams, and expectations that you have for the Great Awakening. Think how these goals may be manifested in the actions of digital warriors and friends. Put your attention on someone who needs help, and direct thoughts of loving encouragement their way. Why not try it!? Make some quiet time every day, for prayer, directed intention, or silent contemplation. Are there non-corporeal beings (some say angelic messengers, dragon energy, etc.) that respond to our thoughts? Is the human spirit likewise a non-corporeal entity outside of time and space? Do the electrical vibrations of our nervous system interface with the quantum field of the universe? Do our thoughts ripple outbound throughout infinite time and space? You could meditate and try to find out!

Encouragement

If someone is struggling or having a down day, give them encouragement. Let them know you appreciate what they are doing, and that you care about their success. Positive messages of encouragement can make a huge impact on others' lives! Sincere words of praise and appreciation can empower others by increasing their confidence and providing useful feedback that helps them fine-tune their efforts. Your voice always matters, whether one-on-one or to a wider audience.

Material Assistance

You may learn of a person or a cause that needs financial support. If you are in a position to contribute, do so! Leverage your donations by carefully selecting individuals and groups with potential for the greatest positive impact. Ask them what kind of help they need; perhaps they need volunteers or equipment rather than money.

Above all, never, ever, ever give up!

Arizona Election Fraud Hearing - Nov. 30, 2020

by Anon - for ABCU|8

During today's election fraud hearing by a committee of Arizona state legislators [1], witness observations that put the "official" vote count into question included:

1. No chain of custody for machines, ballots, partial counts on hard drives and USB memory sticks

2. Voters made to use Sharpie markers, causing ballot read errors by the optical scanner; this diverted ballots into an adjudication file that was subject to manipulation by Dominion employees, hackers, and corrupt election officials

3. Dominion employees tinkering with the machines during the vote

4. Dominion machines WERE internet connected; a witness documented physical cables. Machines were reporting vote totals to news organizations, proof positive of internet connection. Any machine could have had a cellular modem surreptitiously inserted for internet connectivity.

5. Fractional voting. Our requirement of one person, one vote means that vote totals should be integers, not floating point (decimal) numbers.

6. All the machines, tabulators, and adjudicators were all interconnected (cabled together providing data connectivity) and were running Windows 10.

7. Mail ballots were separated from their envelopes in a separate room that Republican poll watchers were prevented from entering. No way to authenticate or audit these ballots once they are separated from signature envelopes.

8. Tabulation of write-in candidates was irregular

9. No watchers were allowed to enter the adjudication area where ballots that failed to scan were processed manually

10. Dr. Shiva's expert witness curve-fitting statistics demonstrated that the only way he could fit the actual data to an algorithm was if Biden's votes were multiplied by a factor of 130% and Trump's votes were decreased accordingly.

11. A weighted-race feature documented in the user manual since 2002 provides a way for officials or those tampering with the election to weight votes (e.g. Biden = 130%).

12. The National Association of State Election Directors (a non-profit) funded by Murdoch et al. colluded, agreeing to destroy ballot images contrary to federal law which requires retention for 22 months for audit purposes. Destruction of ballot images would hide evidence that would show if the weighted race feature had been turned on.

13. A Dominion employee manually altered files when the file became too large, and took a hard drive out of the building with him, admitting there was no chain of custody for the file. This raises the possibility of human intervention in the process, such as lost or modified files.

14. Republican poll watchers were generally unable to make any meaningful observations. There were too few of them compared with the number of election workers (e.g. 1 observer for 110 election workers working at 55 tables).

15. Some new software was tested on live ballots during the election.

16. Trucks kept delivering ballots days after the election.

17. Military ballots arrived as PDF files that were printed, then manually transferred to ballots for scanning. The manual process was subject to corruption. Poll watchers were not able to examine any authenticating information for military ballots.

18. The original 50 criteria for signature verification were gradually reduced until no signature verification at all was required.

This is by no means an exhaustive list of the witness testimony. But it is more than sufficient to declare the election results as not credible, and give the state legislature grounds to reject the governor's and secretary of state's premature certification.

Trump: Massive Fraud has Been Found, and You'll See it All

by John Cleer | ABCU8

"I just want to tell my people, don't be disappointed yet because this race is far from over."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9RRjk2PZIA

That was President Trump's message on Thanksgiving during his broadcast teleconference with the military, which he concluded (I think unexpectedly) by fielding questions from the press. [1]

The usual mob had gone home for Thanksgiving, and instead Trump found himself calling on second stringers who couldn't interrupt him effectively. One of them tried but he stepped over the line and Trump called him a "lightweight," chastising the reporter for not respecting the Office. [2]

That slight is being reported in the usual anti-Trump, derogatory tone and the MSM are repeating his answer to the following question misleadingly, to manipulate the public into accepting Biden as president. It's a done deal! they tell us. Trump must accept it!

Would President Trump leave the White House "if the electoral college does elect President-Elect Biden"? Eventually Trump said Yes and this was dressed up, unsurprisingly, as the story of the night.

However, the reporter's own words "If the electoral college does elect President-Elect Joe Biden" plainly indicate that Biden is NOT the President-Elect. ONLY THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE CAN ELECT A PRESIDENT. Liberal public figures and even a number of conservatives are pretending Biden has been elected so they can keep riding the gravy train. They've all taken the same position and continue to ignore the same wealth of irregularities and well-predicated lawsuits.

The Murdoch family for example owns Fox News, the WSJ and NYPost, and they want Trump out. All of the Murdochs' assets call Joe Biden "President-Elect," all of their platforms take the same position and it isn't an honest one. Joe Biden is not the President-Elect.

So what they're doing isn't reporting, it's electioneering. The MSM has badgered Trump with this question since 2016, and now there are many right-leaning websites following their lead.

I'll list the points President Trump made on Thanksgiving, starting with his qualifications for the answer above:

"Certainly I will [respect the Electoral College outcome], and you know that. But I think there will be a lot of things happening between now and the 20th of January.

"Massive fraud has been found. We're like a third world country. We're using computer equipment that can be hacked. They talk about glitches. How many glitches did they find? A glitch, oh gee, we had a glitch, 5,000 votes. In all cases, right? In all cases, the votes went from Trump to Biden. They didn't go from Biden to Trump.

"A glitch is like the equipment is a little broken, we'll fix it up… in this case, we caught them cheating, we caught them stealing, we caught a fraudulent effort to get votes, and they said, "Oh yes, it's true, there was." And there were many of them.

"The glitch means, "Oh, we got caught. We got caught with the votes and now let's just call it a glitch." [But] It wasn't the machinery… You're going to see things happening over the next week or two that are going to be shocking to people.

"There's no way that Biden got 80 Million votes … The only way that he got 80 Million votes is through a massive fraud. They used covid in order to defraud the people of this country and the whole world is watching, laughing at our electoral process, and it's a very sad thing.

"Tens of millions of ballots have been sent out to people that didn't even want them. Many people have received 2, 3, and 4 ballots and many people have taken their 2, 3, and 4 ballots and they voted them. This election was a fraud."

The Chair of the Federal Election Commission has gone on the record to say the same. "I do believe there is voter fraud taking place in these places," he told Newsmax. "Otherwise they would allow the observers to go in." [3]

"I did so well," Trump said on Thanksgiving, "that they didn't know what to do. They panicked. Take a look at their drops at 3:00 and 3:42 in the morning on certain states. They did drops where you're going along like this, and then you'll have a spike that goes up to the ceiling. It's disgraceful. We can't let that happen.

"If you look at 10:00 in the evening, you saw what happened [Trump/Pence had decisive swing state leads]. Then you had these massive dumps. Nobody's ever seen anything like it. You have Dominion, which is very, very suspect to start off with. Nobody knows the ownership. People say the votes are counted in foreign countries and much worse than that, by the way, with Dominion.

"So Dominion is also partially based in Canada, but it's based in other countries too, and nobody knows where the votes – But you know, Canada refuses to use Dominion. Canada uses paper ballots … They're based in Canada and Canada refuses to use them.

"They use paper ballots because paper ballots are, frankly, the only thing that really you're going to get an accurate tab on because those machines are fixed, they're rigged. You can press Trump and the vote goes to Biden … All you have to do is play with a chip, and they played with a chip, especially in Wayne County and Detroit.

"I'm not saying we caught 23 dead people but we were short 20,000 votes. No, we have tens of thousands more votes than we need, in all cases [in all states being litigated]. It's not only going to be a big story, it's the most important story of our time.

"This has a long way to go. You're gonna find tremendous fraud … fraud of hundreds of thousands of votes per state. You're gonna find fraud of many, many times the votes I need."

Trump specified 687,000 votes in Pennsylvania, a similar number to his lawyer Giuliani's for unobserved (therefore illegal) votes in PA. Giuliani took statements from 50-60 poll watchers testifying to this and claimed to have as many as 90 witnesses ready in Pennsylvania. [4] "A poll watcher is considered sacred in our country," said President Trump. "When they throw them out of rooms[runs over lightweight reporter]and they put them in what's called pens, and they're 20,30,40 feet away and in some cases 200 feet away…"

In Wisconsin Trump said they were finding a "tremendous discrepancy." (He tweeted later that the WI recount was intended not to change the count but to uncover illegal votes, and that we should expect a lawsuit on Monday or Tuesday based on its findings. On Tuesday the Trump campaign filed a lawsuit to disqualify 221,000 illegal votes in WI.)

"The other thing, take a look at Michigan. Take a look at what they did with respect to counties, every county, 78%, 72%, 76%, 59%. The whole thing, one after another after another, and then you get to Detroit and it's more votes than people. Dead people voting all over the place…

"We're doing a recount right now in Georgia that is meaningless. The only recount that matters in Georgia is to look at the signatures on the envelopes and you will find the signatures do not match.

"Why is [Georgia's Secretary of State] not letting us see [them]? There's only one reason you can't see the signatures and that's because there was fraud all over the place. Even without looking at signatures, as you know, we found thousands of wrong votes. By the way, always against me. It was not 50/50. It was always against me.

"The people that signed those envelopesthey didn't do the ballotsenvelopes, and then somebody said, 'Maybe the envelopes were thrown out.' There's tremendous fraud here.

"We won [Georgia] by hundreds of thousands … Once we get the signatures, we'll take over 100%… and we will get Georgia."

"We have affidavits from hundreds and hundreds of people. This election was a rigged election."

"You'll see it all."

Stop the Steal Rally in Atlanta, Georgia

with Sidney Powell, Lin Wood, Vernon Jones, C.J. Pearson

December 2, 2020

Transcribed by Anon - ABCU|8

<Any errors in this best-effort transcript are mine, not the speakers'.>

…Lin Wood: I'm calling for non-violent civil disobedience. Go to Governor Kemp's mansion and circle and blow your horns until he comes out and fixes this mess he created and then he can resign and then we can lock him up. <Crowd chants Lock Him Up!

If you're watching the mainstream news you're watching lies. Stick with OAN and Newsmax, Epoch Times. This is a battle between good and evil, truth and lies.

Donald Trump won a massive landslide.

We the People run this country. The country belongs to the People.

<Holds up Bible>. I asked Kemp and Raffensperger to swear on this Bible that they did not take money from China, and they will not swear it. Because that would be perjury.

Sidney Powell: I grew up in the 50s when you could walk to school safely and have friends. There was no divisiveness in this country. Real Americans are not defined by color, they are defined by their love of freedom, liberty, and justice for all. These are American values: God, family, and country. Values we must return to now. We will not allow our country to be influenced by Communists, Socialists, Dark Forces that come to impose their will on us. It's time for every patriot to stand up, make our voices heard, be counted.

Any person in any public office - local, county, state, federal - works for you. You pay them, you are supposed to elect them with lawful votes. We still have massive vote fraud in this country, it took all forms, not just Dominion machines. It's in the DNA of all the software in all the electronic voting systems that were used all over the country. The inexplicable spikes hundreds of thousands that came in 90% Biden, 10% Trump. It defies reality. You can't flip a coin 300,000 times and have it always come up heads. Lots of people got cheated out of local races, congressional and senate seats too.

Georgia should not have a runoff using Dominion machines. Georgia, you should not vote until the vote is secure, regardless of your party. Our republic needs votes to be safe and secure. We need Voter ID and paper ballots signed and thumb printed. The system can even count votes by hand. What we've seen over the last 4 years in the USA has been unacceptable. What do you expect in Venezuela where Dominion and Smartmatic electronic voting systems were developed to help the brutal dictator Chavez win.

I wonder about our 3-letter agencies, what role they might have had in creating and distributing this software?

NC, VA, PA, voted solidly for Donald Trump. We need to flood Georgia's legislators and secretary of state and governor with phone calls and letters. It's your state and your country. They work for you.

Thank you for caring enough to be here today. <Crowd chants Thank You, Thank You!

Our team, people working on this, nobody has been paid a dime yet. Lots of contributions are coming in to Defending the Republic [2], but we haven't even had time yet to set it up to be able to write checks and pay anybody.

God bless you and God bless America!

Lin Wood: God bless Sidney Powell and God bless all the people here.

Our US Constitution makes clear, all the power belongs to the people. WE tell government what they can do. They do not control the people. We are going to circle the walls of Jericho and God Almighty is going to tear those walls down. You watch it happen!

Send a message to Bill Barr: Do your job! You work for us, Attorney General Barr, and you tell the FBI director "Do your job!" Investigate this fraud.

And tell the CIA director to get out of our country and don't spy on Americans, don't ever do it again!

Thank God for Donald Trump. God gave him the task to be president for 4 more years, you watch it happen. The people will not allow our country to be taken away. God will save us and he will use every one of you. The People are the rock like David and Goliath, the rock to slay the Communists and Liberals. Joe Biden will never set foot in the white house, you will never allow it to happen.

Vernon Jones: I love this country and I love Georgia. I'm a Georgia House representative and I took an oath to serve and protect the Constitution and the people of Georgia. We have an obligation to get all your questions answered. We need the governor to call a special session of the Georgia General Assembly. This is not some third-world country. I'm not doing this for Republicans, I'm doing it for every person in the state of Georgia. This is not partisan. You elected us, the constitution gives us authority to set election law, not the secretary of state. We have oversight to look at what Raffensperger did, it was not fair. It's not about black and white and democrat and republican and libertarian, it's about everybody. I don't want to let my country go further left, no, we should back up!

Remember Dr. Martin Luther King. Some were killed to get us all the right to go vote.

You hire the politicians, they don't hire you. Georgia has a history of battle - fight! Remember George Washington, General Patton. Fight and hold the line like Americans have done in every war we have ever been in. Georgia is the battleground state. Hold the line! <Crowd chants Hold the Line!>

Lin Wood: Where are Purdue and Loeffler? If they want your vote, they should demand a special session from Gov. Kemp. We cannot vote on Jan. 5 on another China voting machine. If they want our vote, they've got to demand publicly that Kemp call a special session. if they do not, they have not earned your vote. Why vote in another rigged election? We need to fix it before doing it again. There were (are preparing?) 800,000 (more?) absentee ballots. They stole the election from Doug Collins, he needs to fight too. The legislators must designate a slate of electors for Donald Trump, who we voted for. Then we need to have an entire down-ballot vote on January 5th.

They don't have the power. Kemp will never get my vote again. Get out of that mansion and take Brad Raffensperger with you and Jeffrey Duncan. Go out and go quail hunting. You're not doing the people's will.

Maybe we need a new party. Look beyond democrat or republican. We need a party of the people <Crowd cheersof American Patriots who love America. We won't allow our country to be taken over by China. You don't buy bullets from the enemy.

Sidney Powell and I want to answer your questions.

How about Sidney Powell and Michael Flynn 2024 - they will fight like Flynn! Vern Jones for governor? He will fight like Flynn! I see a patriot here, you should run for governor, take back your state.

I spoke with President Trump a few weeks ago. He called me. He knows he was elected. "If I knew I had lost, I'd concede." But you won this election. America voted for you. You must stay in the White House.

I don't want your money. I have been blessed with enough. If you want to contribute, you could support my foundation, #FightBack, fightback.law [3] that I formed to defend the Constitution.

Can I tell a personal story? I was 16 years old. My mother died, my father was in prison, I didn't have one damn dime. But I had fighting spirit to make it. I made it because America gave me the opportunity to succeed.

Don't let anybody take it from us. It's 1776 again, it's our battle to fight for freedom. The battle starts here today.

God bless America!

C.J. Pearson: We love this country so much we will fight for it. They made a huge mistake. Biden - not in my America! They thought we were the party of Romney and McCain, that we would not fight. No. We are the party of Donald Trump. <Crowd cheers We are courageous people who will fight for it. We are great by the activism of bold Americans like you. We have freedom because patriots fight for what we believe in. Fight for it you will too!

A Few of the Questions from the Audience

Q: What do you advise saying to people who think we're crazy?

Lin Wood: Tell them there was only one perfect man, they thought he was crazy, but he wasn't. His name was Jesus Christ.

Sidney Powell: These are difficult times. We have all lost friends, family, by insisting on the truth. The mainstream media is brainwashing people. Try having a calm, factual conversation. The MSM's power to lie is overwhelming, if people won't go to the original source. General Flynn's Digital Soldiers have helped so much to bring truth. You can follow people on Twitter. Personal relationships that we've lost, keep loving them and sharing truth with them. I don't know, there's no easy answer.

Lin Wood: Tell them to turn off the TV. <Crowd cheersThink for yourselves. Don't accept any MSM lies. Go look up "color revolution". That's what's happening. China is making their move. They need our land to grow their food. Keep your guard up, defend yourself. Within the bounds of the law, do whatever you can to fight for freedom.

Q: If the Dominion machines switched votes, why didn't the hand recount show discrepancies?

Sidney Powell: Georgia did not do a full recount of ballots. They just sampled a few places. There was one country, where the vote was weighted 152% Biden to Trump 48% due to the machine. Ballots and envelopes and evidence are being destroyed and shredded. It's not possible to do a recount. They did a software update in Fulton County, destroying evidence. They know they're caught. The machines were built to alter the audit trail. A recount must count every ballot and envelope.

Lin Wood: If you sent any money to the Republican party in Georgia, or nationally, why are the Republicans not up here fighting for Donald Trump?

Q: What about incorporated companies that Brad Raffensperger has?

Lin Wood: <long pause>. I know the law of defamation. The damn crooked FBI. OK, listen, Brian Kemp, Brad Raffensperger. I can state as a matter of fact that you are criminals. That you took money from Dominion and from China for COVID PPE. They won't sue me because I'm telling the truth, I am right. You need to be in jail. Follow the money. Only the truth will set you free.

Q: How many here voted early in person? <Some hands raised.I voted in Dunwoodie and what they did there was illegal. After I punched in my vote and the ballot was printed, the election worker looked at my QR code and told me which scanner to put it in based on the QR code. They are not allowed to look at your ballot. The Dominion manual teaches them how to delete batches of ballots.

Lin Wood: I never knew my vote was going to Canada, Barcelona, Venezuela, Frankfurt. The voting software is 75% owned by Communist China. We need to get back to simple voting. Iraq had a perfect election, they used fingerprints. He who has nothing to hide, hides nothing. Kemp and Raffensperger sold your vote to Communist China. Follow the money.

The President doesn't take advice from me, but if he did, I'd like to tell him: Gina Haspell, director of the CIA, fire Gina Haspell yesterday! Fire FBI Director Chris Wray last week! The Deep State permeates the democrats, republicans. President Trump is fighting both. The only people helping Donald Trump and people like you and me. We know he loves the people. He decided to run because the people didn't have representation. I know Donald Trump won over 410 electoral votes. He won damn near every state including California. He got over 80 million votes. We're not going to let them steal our elections or our country. We will die before we let them steal our freedom. It is 1776 again–

ELECTION IRREGULARITIES

Suitcases, Flash Drives and Dominion, Oh My!

by Aspen — ABCU|8 team

The November 3rd, 2020 general election was fraught with irregularities nationwide. Any of these alone is sufficient to cast doubt on results in the precinct where it occurred, and should prevent the state from certifying corrupted data. In combination, they demonstrate a pattern of systemic fraud that appears to have been coordinated and planned across numerous key sites — locales where the Left believed brazen election-stealing attempts would be overlooked or upheld by compromised local officials and judges.

Multiple witnesses testified to seeing ballots that "felt different"; they were printed on different paper. Some lacked serial numbers and return addresses. Others had the appearance of being identical, with filled-in ovals that appeared machine-printed. Yet others had never been folded and mailed. In some states there were reports of truckloads of ballots being delivered surreptitiously during the dead of night, after poll watchers had been dismissed. Postal workers have testified to being told by supervisors to back-date postmarks in order to make ineligible ballots appear timely. Some ballots were counted on a date earlier than their mailing date. Truckloads of ballots were identified crossing state lines and delivered to depots, after the election. The most basic precautions for physical security were flaunted in hundreds or thousands of precincts. Last-minute election procedures were illegally changed by the secretary of state's fiat, contravening state election laws. Social workers illegally harvested votes from group homes and senior care centers during "play" voting activities. Votes were illegally cast by dead people and non-residents in quantities sufficient to overturn the results. Election officials waived state-mandated signature-matching requirements.

This list is not exhaustive.

Let's examine several specific incidents.

— Shocking surveillance video was revealed at a hearing of the Georgia State Senate Oversight Committee on December 3, 2020. [1] President Trump was ahead of his opponent by 110,000 votes in Georgia on election night, when Fulton County (and other Democrat strongholds nationwide) suddenly stopped counting ballots. At 10:25 PM, poll watchers were told to leave the State Farm Arena tabulation center because of a "burst pipe". But there was no burst pipe; it was a ruse to eject Republican and Independent poll watchers. The video reveals 4 election workers who stayed behind pulling suitcases of ballots out from under a tablecloth-draped table for tabulation. Who prepared these suitcases full of ballots? Were they legitimate votes? Why were they tabulated without the required oversight by poll workers from all parties?

— Adjudication is the process of manually inspecting ballots to ascertain the voter's intent, for ballots that failed to scan. In this video a representative of Dominion Voting Systems in the Gwinnett County, GA Central Tabulation Room operates the batch adjudication system in a suspicious manner. At 1:20, the worker highlights a batch of ballots needing review. At 3:10 the worker performs a batch operation (either accepts or deletes) the entire selected list of ballots, WITHOUT REVIEWING. [2] This is a clear violation of state election law that deprived voters of their right to have their vote counted.

— The USB flash drives used in Dominion Voting Systems are unencrypted. They can be used to program machines with software changes. They can transfer vote tallies, ballot scans, and other data. In this video, two election workers converse and make eye contact, before the apparent handoff of a small item, suspected to be a USB flash drive, from the lady's right hand to the man's left hand, and then they walk off together. [3] The Gateway Pundit analyzes this suspicious activity in detail. [4]

Expert witness Ret. Col. Phil Waldron has testified to the Pennsylvania, Arizona, and Michigan state legislatures that in secure military installations, USB ports must be disabled because of the high risk that USB flash drives pose as potential malware vectors, unauthorized software changes, or data theft. [5]

These are just a few of hundreds of incidents testified to before legislators in several states this week.

What should citizens do? We should spread information. Peacefully protest. Call and email the Governor and Secretary of State. Contact state legislators demanding answers. Remind state legislators that the U.S. Constitution gives THEM the power to reverse a corrupt election. Each state's legislators has the power to take back authority delegated to a state governor or secretary of state, and reassert their constitutional power to designate a slate of electors that represents the actual will of the people they represent.

Smartmatic – Dominion Voting Systems Timeline:

Ownership, Acquisitions, Reorganizations, and Technology Transfers

by Dynamojo — ABCU|8

"Founded in Venezuela in 1997 by a team of three engineers – Antonio Mugica, Alfredo José Anzola, and Roger Piñate, Smartmatic specializes in the design and end-to-end deployment of technology solutions for specific applications. The company’s niches are: electronic voting systems, smart city solutions (including public safety and public transportation), identity management systems for civil registration, and authentication products for government applications." [1]

On April 11, 2000, the same three Venezuelan engineers founded the company Smartmatic in Delaware, United States and opened its headquarters in Boca Raton, Florida with seven employees in November of that year.

"Delaware, US: The world's top secrecy jurisdiction. Register a company here and no one will ever know. If you have overseas income, it will be tax exempt." [2]

2003

In April 2003 in Caracas, Venezuela, Smartmatic officially unveiled its prototype for election automation. The testing of the prototype covered all the details of the process necessary for any type of election. During the tests, emphasis was placed on the system’s encryption capabilities, which are essential for the confidential storage and transmission of data, as well as the robustness of the software and hardware system’s components. The system passed all tests with no shortcomings, said a company spokesperson.

Such a complex, purpose-built technical solution would require a strong, system-wide R&D capability that would not have been possible in Venezuela without massive technical and financial support. Although Smartmatic established a U.S. presence in 2000, almost all of its products were developed in Venezuela, a country where capital is scarce and scientific research and manufacturing are not sophisticated.

2004

According to the New York Times, at the beginning of 2004, a Venezuelan government financing agency invested more than USD $200,000 in a technology company owned by the same owners of Smartmatic: Bitza. Omar Montilla Castillo (a Chavez government official). [15]

Smartmatic moved its headquarters to Amsterdam, the Netherlands in 2004.

WikiLeaks provides some more detail, “…they have a list of about 30 anonymous investors …. the silent partners are mainly upper-class Venezuelans, …. then Defense Minister Jose Vicente Rangel …. the Vice President’s daughter Gisela Rangel Avalos, Chávez’s political mentor Luis Miquelina is also a shareholder in the company ….” The true identity of most of Smartmatic’s shareholders remains a mystery. [10]

2010 - Smartmatic UK - Companies House [3]

2014 Launch of SGO

In 2014, Mugica, together with British Lord Mark Malloch-Brown, announced the launching of the SGO Corporation Limited, a holding company headquartered in London whose primary asset is the election technology and voting machine manufacturer, Smartmatic. Mugica is CEO of SGO Smartmatic and his Venezuelan cofounder, Roger Piñate, also sits on the London board.

David Giampaolo. Another board member of SGO Smartmatic in London is DLA Piper global CEO, Sir Nigel Knowles. DLA Piper was then the world’s largest law firm in 2014. Notably, Douglas C. Emhoff, husband to Kamala Harris, is a partner at DLA Piper.

Lord Mark Malloch-Brown, chairman of SGO Smartmatic is quite a key figure. As documented in excellent research by Matthew Ehret, Malloch-Brown has been on the board of the Davos World Economic Forum, the prime driver behind the dystopian ‘Great Reset’ agenda of UN Global 2030. He has been also a board member of George Soros’ Open Society Foundations and Soros Quantum Fund. Soros is a major funder of Democratic Party candidates and groups, including BLM. Malloch-Brown was a Deputy Secretary General of the UN under corrupt Kofi Annan and was Vice President of the World Bank. The Labour Party member is also a member of the highly secret Privy Council, an elite of some 500+ people selected by the Queen to run affairs of state. In 2008 just after the inauguration of Barack Obama as president, Obama’s UN Ambassador-to-be, Samantha Power, noted that, “The principal conduit between Britain and the Candidate [Obama] has been Lord Malloch-Brown, the Junior Foreign Minister…” This is the person today heading the highly controversial voting systems group, Smartmatic.

Mugica is the CEO of Smartmatic. Although Smartmatic have run elections in Utah and Los Angeles, their footprint in the US remains small. Worldwide, they supply voting machines, voting systems and support services. [4]

In 2017 they became embroiled in charges of vote fixing in the Venezuelan elections.

In the United States, Smartmatic has a four-person Board. The Smartmatic USA chairman is Peter Neffenger, who has just been named to Joe Biden’s Transition Team. Neffenger was in the Obama Administration as TSA head. Fellow Smartmatic USA board member, Paul DeGregorio, was Chairman of the United States Election Assistance Commission (EAC) from 2003-2007. EAC was created by the 2002 Help America Vote Act and is responsible for “administering payments to states and developing guidance to meet HAVA requirements, adopting voluntary voting system guidelines, and accrediting voting system test laboratories and certifying voting equipment.” Sitting also with Neffenger and DeGregorio at the USA Smartmatic board is Gracia Hillman who also served as Chairman of the US Election Assistance Commission from 2003 to 2010 under Obama. Their website declares, “Smartmatic is the global leader in secure, accessible, transparent election technology & support services.

Sequoia Voting Systems

In 1984, Sequoia Pacific System Corporation purchased the voting machine business of AVM Corporation (the former Automatic Voting Machine Corporation) and reorganized it as Sequoia Voting Systems.

In March 2005 Smartmatic bought the California Sequoia Voting Systems from its then-owner, De La Rue, a British currency paper printing and security company

The merged Smartmatic-Sequoia company was flourishing in the US market until a US Treasury investigation of Smartmatic’s possible ties to a foreign government, Venezuela, forced Smartmatic to sell Sequoia. They did so in an allegedly deceptive sale to Smartmatic US managers who were US citizens, under terms not made public, as SVS Inc., allowing the US Government to drop the investigation. But Sequoia, now called SVS Inc. of the USA, was still controlled by the Venezuelan-origin Smartmatic. Smartmatic retained ownership of intellectual property rights for Sequoia’s currently deployed election products in the United States.

An important detail is that, right after the company of the three Venezuelans acquired the electronic voting company Sequoia, Smartmatic reorganized itself into a holding of several companies with headquarters in Delaware (Smartmatic International), the Netherlands (Smartmatic International Holding, B.V.) and Curaçao (Smartmatic International Group, N.V.).

2006

May 2006, Democratic Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney asked the Treasury Department to investigate Smartmatic’s purchase of Sequoia.

“I am writing because of possible investments by the Venezuelan Government in Smartmatic, an electronic voting company with business in the United States, and its acquisition of Sequoia, a U.S.-based electronic voting company,” reads the letter Maloney sent to then-Treasury Department Secretary John W. Snow.

“As you can imagine, having a foreign government invest in or buy a company that services U.S. elections could raise concerns about the integrity of the elections conducted by these machines,” the letter continues.

Speaking to the New York Times, Maloney said, “The government should know who owns our voting machines. This is a national security concern.”

2007

Press Release: Smartmatic Announces Sale of Sequoia Voting Systems Nov 8, 2007 [5]

“WASHINGTON – Smartmatic, the voting machine firm with ties to the Venezuelan government, today announced that it is divesting ownership of the voting machine company Sequoia Voting Systems. Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) shined the congressional spotlight on the Sequoia purchase last year by Smartmatic because it posed serious national security concerns abouyt the integrity of our elections.  Last year, Smartmatic decided to sell Sequoia rather than complete an investigation by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), the government entity charged with ensuring the safety of foreign investment in the U.S.  (To read the official Sequoia sale announcement:…)

In November 2007 CFIUS issued a ruling ordering Smartmatic to sell all of its shares in Sequoia Voting Systems in exchange for CFIUS dropping its investigation of Smartmatic. But what followed was far from what one might expect. Following a ruling by the CFIUS, Smartmatic was ordered to sell to Sequoia’s management team- SVS Holdings Inc, (Sequoia Holdings).

“I am relieved by the news of this sale – it was a long time coming,” said Maloney. “The integrity of our voting machines and elections is vital to national security. Given all of the past uncertainty and anxiety surrounding electronic voting, it’s nice that voters will have this added reassurance when they enter the voting booth this Election Day.”

The company replaced its headquarters in Boca Raton in favor of a complex structure with offices in multiple locations. The U.S. State Department said its Venezuelan owners “remain hidden behind a network of holding companies in the Netherlands and Barbados”; its organization is “a complex network of offshore companies and foreign trusts.”

All of the software that Sequoia was using was, in fact, from Smartmatic. The old voting machines were renovated and all of their technology was developed and patented. As a consequence of the changes that Smartmatic was promoting in Sequoia, the company managed to be successful until, after the controversies and the warning call from Congresswoman Maloney, the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States ordered, in November 2007, that Smartmatic sell Sequoia.

In October 2007 The Foreign Investment & National Security Act of 2007 became effective. The statute amends Section 721 of the Defense Production Act, which was enacted in 1988 to provide for national security reviews of foreign investments. Pre-FINSA, the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) implemented Section 721 solely per Executive Order 11858. [6]

Why did Smartmatic retain this control over finances, intellectual property, and non-compete clauses, and why did CFIUS approve this arrangement?

According to the Dominion press release, if the rest of it can be believed, the Sequoia purchase was “reviewed by the U. S. Department of Justice and nine state attorneys general” and “also reviewed in detail and received approval by the Committee of Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS).”

In 2007, Princeton Professor of Computer Science, Andrew Appel, testified as an expert in a legal case in New Jersey involving the Sequoia Advantage voting machines that it was “very easy to replace the software inside a computerized machine so it tells the voter it is voting for one candidate but really puts the vote in the wrong column…You can even program it to do that only on election day.” [4]

In the same year 2007, the California Secretary of State (Debra Bowen) decertified Sequoia voting machines in the state election, declaring that the Sequoia voting machines allow the “insertion of a Trojan program via a malicious USB removable storage media device that could modify ballot definitions and results.” The ruling added that Sequoia voting machines could be made to “shift votes from one candidate to another and [the shift] was not detectable on the voter verifiable paper audit trail.” These are the same tricks of fraud being challenged by the Trump legal teams. [7]

2008

In an article published on April 10, 2008, journalist Bradley Friedman writes: “Smartmatic had been forced to relinquish control of Sequoia after the media and Congress noticed that the company had links to Hugo Chávez.” In the end, the buyers were the company’s own managers, but those with U.S. citizenship.

But the verdict did not end Smartmatic’s controversial relationship with Sequoia. In fact, in April 2008 a market competitor, Hart InterCivic, tried to acquire Sequoia in a hostile move. This led to the involvement of the courts. Smartmatic was exposed. [8]

At the end of April 2008, a shocking event occurred: one of Smartmatic’s founders, who was also the founder of the American company, died in a plane crash in Venezuela, along with Smartmatic’s finance department and the plane’s pilot. The Venezuelan Minister of the Interior (said to be a relative of the founder) was the first to arrive at the hospital, along with Jorge Rodriguez, former President of the Venezuelan Electoral Council and former Vice President of Venezuela.

2010

Next, this fraud-ridden Smartmatic-controlled Sequoia Voting Systems, a/k/a SVS Inc., was bought on June 4, 2010 by a previously obscure Canadian company, Dominion Voting Systems, a company engaged in manufacturing electronic voting hardware and optical scanners.

In 2010, Smartmatic sold SVS to Dominion Voting Systems, which eight years later was acquired by the private equity firm Staple Street Capital (SPC). The largest shareholder of SPC is David Mark Rubenstein, who is also a co-founder of the Carlyle Group. [9]

(The Carlyle Group entered China in 1994, fast becoming one of the earliest, largest and most active global investment companies in the communist Chinese regime. In 2017, Carlyle acquired a 19.9 percent stake in China Pacific Insurance Company, making it the first international private equity firm to be approved by the CCP for investment into a state-owned insurance company.

In 2015, Carlyle expanded its Chinese portfolio by acquiring a controlling stake in Tongyi Lubricant. Two years later, Carlyle partnered with CITIC Limited and CITIC Capital to acquire an 80 percent stake in McDonald’s in both mainland China and Hong Kong. That same year, Carlyle and its partners invested in Adicon, one of the largest third-party independent medical testing companies in China.

What this means is that a wealthy Jewish investor is overseeing a portfolio of companies and corporate influences that, in essence, stole the election for Biden with the help of the communist Chinese regime. And this is what the Democrats are calling an “honest election.”

Note: The financial assets of the Saudi bin Laden Corporation (SBC) were also managed by the Carlyle Group before the 9/11 attack in New York. Many influential individuals have worked for or invested in the group, including John Major, former UK Prime Minister; Fidel Ramos, former Philippines President; Park Tae Joon, former South Korean Prime Minister; Saudi Prince Al-Walid; Colin Powell, former Secretary of State; James Baker III, former Secretary of State; Caspar Weinberger, former Defense Secretary; Richard Darman, former White House Budget Director; the billionaire George Soros; bin Laden family members; Alice Albright, daughter of Madeleine Albright, former Secretary of State; Arthur Lewitt, former SEC head; William Kennard, former head of the FCC; Karl Otto Pöhl, former Bundesbank president; Henri Martre, former president of Aerospatiale; and Bilderberg steering committee member Etienne Davignon.

Neil Shen

It is worth taking a closer look at the Sequoia group of companies, Sequoia Capital, Sequoia Capital China, and their particularly their founder Neil Shen. This is the key to the connection with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). [10], [14]

Neil Shen is not only the founding and managing partner of Sequoia Capital China, he also serves as Global Steward of Sequoia Capital. Neil Shen is a Member of the 13th CPPCC National Committee. He is a Vice Chairman, China Securities Investment Fund Association, Venture Capital Fund Committee. He is Co-founder and Chairman of the Hong Kong X Technology Startup Platform. He is a Member of the Advisory Panel on Innovation and Strategic Development for the Chief Executive of the HKSAR.

In November 2015, during COP 21 (United Nations Conference on Climate Change in Paris), the Breakthrough Energy Coalition was formed led by Bill Gates, Neil Shen, Jack Ma, Mark Zuckerberg and 28 other business leaders who committed to invest significant resources in the next five years to address climate change and clean energy issues. Neil Shen is Director and a long-time benefactor of the Teach For China program

Neil Shen appears to be the key connection between the CCP, Sequoia, and Dominion Voting Systems and their work in the US elections.

Dominion

Dominion of Canada bought Sequoia SVS Inc.; the latter had contracts for 300 jurisdictions in 16 states. Suddenly Dominion, via Sequoia via Smartmatic of London, was a major player in the increasingly corrupt business of computerized voting in the USA. In short, Smartmatic bought US-based Sequoia, put its technology into Sequoia, and then sold it to Dominion.

Dominion also bought Premier Election Solutions, also known as Diebold/Premier, in 2010.

A press release distributed by Dominion on May 19, 2010, highlights the agreement with ES&S—Premier Election was a wholly-owned subsidiary of ES&S—and celebrates the acquisition of the company’s main assets, including intellectual property, software, firmware and hardware of its voting systems.

But the press release’s statement is an out-and-out lie.

As part of a detailed investigative exposé series in 2008, as Investigative journalist Brad Friedman broke the story of Hart Intercivic’s quietly attempted hostile takeover of Sequoia, Friedman revealed the fact that — despite representations to the contrary, possibly even to U.S. government investigators — the intellectual property (IP) for the vast-majority/near-entirety of Sequoia’s voting systems was actually secretly owned by the Hugo Chavez-tied, Venezuelan-based firm, Smartmatic.

Sequoia hadn’t publicly disclosed that Smartmatic still retained legal ownership of the IP used in all of their voting machines, a fact that wasn’t publicly revealed until our exposé which forced a subsequent admission by Sequoia’s then CEO and President Jack Blaine.

ES&S, by the way, is forced to sell Premier Election Solutions by a Department of Justice requirement due to potential monopoly concerns —which prevents it from dominating most of the private electoral market. Dominion took advantage of this.

In 2016 Dominion Vice President Dr. Eric Coomer was asked if it was possible to bypass election systems software and go directly to the data tables that manage systems running elections in Illinois. He replied, “Yes, if they have access.”

However, further insuring that the Canadian Dominion would remain opaque to scrutiny, in 2018 the company was taken over as a private company by its employees together with an opaque private equity firm, Staple Street Capital of New York, allowing them to claim being a “US-owned” company, despite its headquarters in Canada. What little that is known about Staple Street, the new owners of Dominion is that several came from the controversial private equity giant, Carlyle Group Partners. William Kennard, former Obama appointee as EU Ambassador and Bill Clinton appointee as FCC chairman and former Managing Director of the Carlyle Group is in Staple Street Capital.

Hootan Yaghoobzadeh and Stephen D. Owens, both of Staple Street, are on the new Dominion board with Canadian founder, John Poulos. Both also have past ties to the Carlyle Group. The contested State of Georgia has eight registered Dominion lobbyists including Jared Thomas, former chief of staff for Republican Governor Brian Kemp. The Georgia recount had been riddled with bipartisan corruption. Additionally, the Dominion Voting Systems company has admitted being a past donor to the Clinton Foundation and to hiring the former Chief of Staff of Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, one Nadeam Elshami as a lobbyist.

On October 24, 2018, Smartmatic announced they appointed a U.S. Board of Directors to “guide the company as it offers secure technology to election jurisdictions across the country.”

The Board Chairman would be retired US Coast Guard Vice Admiral Peter Neffenger, who served as Barack Obama’s Assistant Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security and Administrator of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA).

Neffenger is also a member and “distinguished fellow” of the Atlanta Council think-tank that recently received funding from the same Ukrainian firm that employed Hunter Biden for $183,000 a month.

In 2019, the Wall Street Journal reported that Ukrainian energy firm Burisma Holdings–the same one paying Hunter Biden based on possibly illegal and controversial circumstances, donated $100,000 a year to the council from 2016 to 2018.

“He is president and on the board of directors of Smartmatic, and it just so happens he’s on Mr. Biden’s presidential transition team that’s going to be nonexistent, because we’re fixing to overturn the results of the election in multiple states,” Trump Campaign attorney Sidney Powell said during an appearance on Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo.

In 2018, Dominion was acquired by private equity firm Staple Street Capital. Staple Street Capital’s largest shareholder is David Mark Rubenstein. He is also the founder of the Carlyle Group.

An investigation into SEC filings has revealed that the firm which owns Dominion Voting Systems received $400 million dollars from a Swiss bank with close links to the Chinese government less than a month before the election. [11]

The investigation, conducted by Austin Security and Investigation Solutions, centers on Staple Street Capital, which acquired Dominion Voting Systems

“On Oct 8, 2020, Staple Street Capital filed SEC Form D offerings and sales amount of $400,000,000 with the Sales Compensation Recipient identified as UBS Securities,” states the investigation, which also notes that another payment of $200,000,000 was received in December 2014. [12]

“UBS Securities is a swiss investment bank which owns 24.99% of UBS Securities Co LTD, a Chinese Investment Bank. The remaining 75% of UBS Securities CO LTD is owned by the Chinese government,” states the report.

The overall owners of UBS Securities Co LTD are:

– Beijing Guoxiang (33%)


– UBS (24.99%)

– Guangdong Comm. Group [zh] (14.01%)


– China Guodian (14%)

– COFCO Group (14%) [13]

Aside from UBS, the other four owners of UBS Securities are all Communist Chinese front groups.

Beijing Guoxiang is a state-owned asset.

Other connections between Dominion Voting Systems and the Chinese government have also emerged in recent weeks, including the company’s Core Infrastructure Manager of Information Technology, Andy Huang, who previously worked for China Telecom, which is “wholly run by the Chinese government,” reported the National Pulse.

Smoking Gun in Georgia: Not "Debunked"

by John Cleer | ABCU8

If anyone still hasn't heard, CCTV footage was released from the Georgia polling station that closed on Election Night at around 10:30, showing a good number of people working as the votes are counted, and leaving more or less together. We're told by the volunteer lawyer who narrates the video that they were instructed to leave by the woman in blonde braids. The video was played by Trump's team at the Georgia Senate hearing on Thursday. [1]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1t-e_seKhQI

One reason they hadn't finished counting yet, Fulton County says, is there was a "burst pipe" that morning which caused them to start counting mail-in ballots 4 hours late. [2]

(A lot of people think this was given as the reason for the evening closure, IMO because of misleading reporting; no, it was during the morning.)

(to date, not one iota of evidence for this "burst pipe" has surfaced [3])

After everyone left, six people remained: four counters, a man in a red shirt and a man in a black baseball cap and jacket. In the footage (at at 9:05, 9:27 and 9:45), three of them roll heavy, suitcase-sized boxes out from under a table in the center of the upper-right CCTV screen; a fourth box appears to be rolled from beside the table; they then drag each of these boxes to their respective stations and start scanning them.

The first three boxes were taken to stations in the center and on the left, the fourth pulled by a man in a red shirt to the station on the right. The counting then lasted for two hours, and the narrator claims that three stations in that time would have counted 18,000 ballots, which makes 24,000 for four.

I can't remember why she gave a number for three stations and not four but she may mean the three boxes that were taken from under the table, and had been concealed.

Biden's "win" margin by comparison was about 12,000, so she is correct that this easily could have changed the result in Georgia.

Breitbart's [4] original article referred to the bins as suitcases (I'm not sure how no one in their news room noticed they don't really appear to be suitcases) being pulled out from under a table and counted in secret after everyone was forced to go home. Suitcases aside, this appears to be accurate.

They've since backtracked, no doubt threatened with lawsuits or otherwise, and printed this explanation from "Lead Stories" with their tail between their legs [5]:

"The officials said the ballots seen in the video were in regular ballot containers — not “suitcases,” as Pick described them — and they had been removed from their envelopes and processed while news media and election observers for the Republican Party and Trump campaign were present.

"Lead Stories writes that general poll workers were not dismissed, despite the witnesses’ claims: Election workers known as “cutters” because their job was to open absentee ballot envelopes and verify ballots for eventual scanning and counting were dismissed for the night sometime after 10 p.m. on November 3, 2020, because their work for the evening had been completed, he explained. Those workers who remained were responsible for conducting the scanning portion of the process, since ballots could not be left without being scanned overnight."

This is legalese for "the opened ballots still had to be scanned, but they had all been opened, so the openers were done and the scanners weren't." The openers went home and the counters stayed, and most importantly no one else was told to go home. Republican poll watchers and the media just saw the cutters leaving and figured it was time to go, all by themselves, because they were confused. They could have could have come back anytime, or never left in the first place, we're told.

Well that's funny. Here's Janell Ross of NBC, posting at 10:59 PM on November 3rd: "Fulton County, Georgia, results will be stalled: ATLANTA — The Fulton County Registration and Elections Department now says it will continue counting ballots tonight, after officials initially said it would stop counting mail-in ballots at 10:30 p.m., and resume the count Wednesday morning." [6]

And here's Yahoo, spreading the NBC News article: "officials said they would stop counting mail-in ballots at 10:30 p.m., with the plan of resuming in the morning, NBC News reports." [7]

Here's the Chairman of the Georgia Republican Party:

https://twitter.com/DavidShafer/status/1325956840769859586?

At the time, he said no one disputed that Fulton County Election officials falsely announced that the counting of ballots would stop at 10:30 PM… and unlawfully resumed the counting of ballots after our observers left the center." Well they seem to dispute it now, don't they.

It's my understanding that multiple Republican witnesses like the ones mentioned by Shafer (and by the video narrator during the GA Senate Hearing) have testified under penalty of perjury that they were, in fact, kicked out of the building and told the counting would stop for the night, precisely as Shafer tweeted above, and that these witnesses named the people who told them to leave and told them that the counting would stop.

"Lead Stories" appears to be right that the bins were not suitcases but this doesn't vindicate anyone. It's a red herring, a distraction, and if I was a betting man I'd say millions of dollars went into their explanation: which has been pasted up on every related article I can find, no doubt after aggressive litigation threats. Nonetheless there are holes in it.

For one they quote a poll manager saying "that what can be seen on the video is normal procedure and nothing looks 'bizarre or odd.' " Really? How about the fact that they're scanning votes for the presidential election in an empty auditorium late at night, all by themselves? Isn't that "odd," at least?

It's an odd occurrence and it appears to be a serious crime. Of the competing explanations, one (the poll watchers') makes sense and is supported by sworn statements and the media reports from Election Night; the other does not make sense, is not supported by sworn statements or the Nov. 3 media reports and was made by affiliates of the accused.

The "Lead Stories" report, quotes the "chief investigator", who officially works for Georgia's Secretary of State, says "There wasn't a bin that had ballots in it under that table. It was an empty bin and the ballots from it were actually out on the table when the media were still there, and then it was placed back into the box when the media were still there and placed next to the table."

Well first of all, there wasn't one box, there were four: three boxes were pulled out from under the table at 9:05, 9:27 and 9:45 and taken to three of the scanners' desks; the fourth looks like it was next to the table at 9:16, before being taken to the fourth desk.

All of those boxes were full of ballots, which you could tell by the way they drag them to their stations and then by watching them pull out stacks of ballots. The first woman takes the lid off her box to check it at 9:05, and before she puts it back on you can see the top of a stack of ballots, level with the top of the bin, which she'd removed the lid to look at.

Here's the clip again:

The "investigator" is being unclear, almost certainly by intention, about everything he says: there wasn't a bin with ballots under the table, it was empty but actually, since the ballots that were inside of it while it was empty had been put there before, under observation before the bin was placed under the table that I just said there was no bin of ballots placed under, see those ballots were on the table before they went in and the box was empty before it was full and actually, it wasn't under the table it was next to it but anyway let's pretend there was only one box.

Essentially what he's saying, if you forgive the various details he appears to be misleading us about, is the ballots had been counted properly, and they weren't hidden in boxes under the table, even though they were out of view underneath it, because they were empty before they were filled. Got it.

I take it from the way they labor this point and insist no ballots were hidden, that it was illegal for those boxes of ballots to be under that table, as three of them clearly were, or hidden.

Another thing you can see, especially when the fourth box is pulled out by the man in the red shirt, is that the bins under the table appear to be further concealed on both sides by a table cloth that hangs well over the sides of the tables, down over the sides of the bins.

So leading up to this, the media and observers got up and went home at the same time because the cutters were going home, and the crew of four scanners and two unidentified men, who had nothing to do with that, didn't lift a finger to stop them.

The media left. The poll watchers left. And once the last of the stragglers was gone, the six workers still there started hauling boxes of ballots out from under a table. They waited for every last person to leave, and then counted votes by themselves for two hours. Totally normal.

So bear with me while I repeat myself: The only evidence we have for this amazing story is the people who rigged the election saying that's what happened, without going under oath or even putting their own names to it, and their explanations are anything but credible. Contrarily, the poll watchers have signed affidavits saying they were told to leave which are corroborated by news reports, and the journalists who left the poll station with them know to keep their mouths shut; and no one asks why they left with the observers, which is to say their organizations don't ask this of themselves. None of them recorded anything with their phones, like you'd expect from a journalist. None of them that I've seen have given their own account to address either side. Obviously that's because they're involved.

Susan Voyles, a poll manager in Fulton with 20 years experience, said in a sworn affidavit as part of Lin Wood's lawsuit that she and the poll workers was given a cardboard box full of absentee ballots. [8]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6Xq9i2dBlY

"It was taped shut with packing tape with the seal of the Secretary of State. But the seal was blank, signed by no one, and no information had been supplied. There were no markings indicating the provenance of the box. The box was marked as Box No. 5—Absentee—Batch Numbers 28-36."

These numbers referred to 100-count stacks of ballots, meaning there were 800 ballots in the box.

“'Most of the ballots had already been handled; they had been written on by people, and the edges were worn. They showed obvious use. However, one batch stood out. It was pristine,' she continued. 'There was a difference in the texture of the paper—it was if they were intended for absentee use but had not been used for that purposes. There was a difference in the feel.'

"The ballots also showed no markings to indicate where they came from or were processed. 'These stood out,' she said.

With 20 years of handling ballots behind her, Voyles 'observed that the markings for the candidates in these ballots were unusually uniform, perhaps even with a ballot-marking device.'

"According to her estimate, 98 percent were for Joe Biden. 'I only observed two of these ballots as votes for President Donald J. Trump.' "

But don't worry, the guy who says "nothing looked bizarre" also says "there was nothing in abnormal in the distribution of votes."

Well, the next day this happened: "GA Poll Watcher, IT Professional, Non-Trump Supporter Affidavit: Sudden Surge of 20,000 Mail-In-Votes For Biden In Early Hours On Nov 5, While Approx. 1,000 Votes For Trump Disappeared." [9]

And I must note, that the same thing appears to have happened in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and North Carolina, which Google is making it very hard to search for.

That is, that Trump saw decisive leads vanish in these states and these states only, and only after poll stations where shut down and resumed counting without observation, and that it was during this period, without observers present, that Biden suddenly started winning big!

Did the poll watchers in those other four states (and only in those states) also walk out absent-mindedly behind the cutters? Give me a break.

But ok, the experts say it's nothing and they know better. At what point do we remember that these are not neutral experts, but accomplices of the accused party of a serious crime against our country?

Where There's Smoke, There's Fire

by Aspen — ABCU|8 team

This article probes possible connections between (1) the November 3rd, 2020 General Election, (2) rampant speculation about a military raid taking custody of servers in Frankfurt, Germany, and (3) dismissals of Pentagon and Department of Homeland Security personnel a week later.

Attorney Lin Wood suggested that one reason why Democrats pushed so hard for vote-by-mail (using COVID as a justification) was to ascertain in advance how many additional, illegal votes would be needed to steal the election from President Trump. In Georgia and elsewhere, election workers were directed to open mail ballots in advance, contrary to state law.

Cybersecurity experts are confident that Dominion Voting System machines were internet-connected and vulnerable to manipulation both by operators and external users. Dominion claims their machines do not connect to the internet during elections. Eyewitnesses and experts have refuted this claim in sworn affidavits. One said the Dominion help desk fixed a machine remotely during the election. Another physically traced cables from Dominion machines in a tally center to a hidden router. This is not surprising because the manual directs users to connect ethernet cables between the device and a router.

After reviewing the Dominion user manual, network security expert Ron Watkins stated "Network Security is very weak since all software access keys use the same cryptographic pair. This gives plausible deniability to whoever messes around with voting settings. It can't be proven who changed a setting since everybody has the same key." Unencrypted data files containing ballots that failed to scan and partial totals could be transferred on USB flash drives and edited. Given these and other vulnerabilities, he concluded that "the local IT guy who services the machines is theoretically the ultimate political gatekeeper with absolute power to decide elections." [11]

Let's review the timeline.

November 3rd

On election day, as polls were closing nationwide, President Trump was so far ahead that the difference could not be made up by Dominion's algorithmic cheats to skew the vote. Immediately, states that were necessary to steal the election stopped reporting, presumably to recalculate and prepare the quantity of illegal ballots needed to ensure victory. (It would be interesting to learn who ordered this, and how the orders were relayed!)

Ret. Col. Phil Waldron, a military cybersecurity expert, testified to increased data traffic from the USA to a suspected Scytl [10] server in Frankfurt, Germany on November 3rd and 4th. "A German Professor talked about the drastic increase in traffic on November 3-4. It's common knowledge that that server was processing a lot of US election data." [2] [9]

November 4th

Additional votes were tallied overnight in key Democrat strongholds. There were widespread reports of pre-filled ballots being delivered under cover of darkness or dragged out in suitcases, and recorded by Democrat election workers, after required poll watchers had left for the night. [13] [12] Although the election had ended the evening of November 3rd, many locations continued updating vote totals, due to illegal rule changes by state officials and courts.

November 9th

One week post-election, President Trump fired Defense Secretary Mark Esper, tweeting "I am pleased to announce that Christopher C. Miller, the highly respected Director of the National Counterterrorism Center (unanimously confirmed by the Senate), will be Acting Secretary of Defense, effective immediately." [1]

Attorney General Bill Barr was seen entering Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell's Senate office. [4] The substance of that discussion has not been reported.

Richard Pilger, a career official serving as Director of the Department of Justice's Election Crimes Branch, resigned from that role because he evidently disagreed with A.G. Barr's memo authorizing U.S. Attorneys to "pursue substantial allegations of voting and vote tabulation irregularities".

A server in Frankfurt, Germany went offline, according to Col. Waldron's testimony. The story was confirmed by Rep. Louie Gohmert, relaying a German tweet that said U.S. forces had raided the headquarters of vote-counting company Scytl in Frankfurt, Germany and seized servers that played a role in our election. [3] Attorney Sidney Powell confirmed the raid at a joint press conference with the President's attorney, Rudy Giuliani.

Ret. General McInernery in an interview on WVWtv.com asserted that the Frankfurt incident was in fact a raid on a CIA facility. [8] Wikileaks claims that the U.S. consulate in Frankfurt, Germany, serves as cover for a 'CIA hacker base' covering Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. [7] This was followed by rumors (still unproven) of U.S. servicemen and others killed in action during the raid.

Intel veteran Larry Johnson confirmed specifics of the raid: "I am reliably informed that a unit under the command of USEUCOM (U.S. European Command) did in fact conduct an operation to take control of computer servers. But these servers belong to the CIA, not Dominion or Sctyl. The U.S. military has full authority to do this because any CIA activity in the European theater is being conducted using military cover. In other words, CIA officers would be identified to the German government as military employees or consultants. Such an operation would have been carried out with U.S. law enforcement present to take custody of the evidence. That means that the evidence will be under the control of the Department of Justice through US Attorneys and can be used in judicial proceedings." [14]

November 10th

CIA Director Gina Haspel was seen entering Sen. Mitch McConnell's office. Again, it is unknown what was discussed.

The Defense Secretary's Chief of Staff, Jen Stewart, was replaced by Devin Nunes' former staffer, Kash Patel.

Ezra Cohen-Watnick became Acting Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security. He had served as the Acting Assistant Secretary of Defense for Special Operations and Low-Intensity Conflict. In that role, he was responsible for all policy formulation and oversight for the Department of Defense counterterrorism and special operations. [6]

The Pentagon's top policy official James Anderson, the agency's top intelligence official Joseph Kernan and Esper's chief of staff Jen Stewart all submitted letters of resignation.

November 13th

Alexis Ross, deputy chief of staff to the Secretary of Defense, resigned.

November 17th

President Trump fired Chris Krebs, the top cybersecurity official overseeing this year’s elections who refused to confirm allegations of widespread election-related fraud. Krebs's deputy, Matt Travis, also departed. [17]

November 18th

At a signing ceremony attended by Acting SecDef Chris Miller, Ezra Cohen announced that "the Department of Defense has started the process of formalizing what we have long known—the fundamental role of U.S. Special Operations in defense and foreign policy by elevating Special Operations forces to a level on par with military departments as authorized and directed by Congress." [15]

In summary, this timeline features purported election interference involving a covert CIA hacking unit domiciled in Frankfurt; military seizure of the Frankfurt server; secret meetings between the Attorney General, the CIA Director, and the Senate Majority Leader; and a series of high-profile Pentagon departures, followed by installation of Trump loyalists at the Department of Defense and an elevation of Special Forces to be on par with other military branches.

Data Showing Systematic Vote Theft in Michigan

by John Cleer - ABCU|8

This is almost a month old but still relevant as it relates to some of Sidney Powell's claims. Sundance mentioned it when it came out and the comments there might be worth a glance. [1]

MIT Ph.D. Shiva Ayyadurai, who goes by "Dr. Shiva", tracked the vote by precinct in each of Michigan's four largest counties: three are "battleground" counties and the fourth is liberal Wayne County/Detroit, which serves as a control group of sorts: Ayyadurai's study found a statistically impossible vote distribution repeat itself perfectly in the three swing counties, and not show itself at all in Wayne County.

He attributed this distribution to a "weighted vote" algorithm that siphoned off votes from Trump and gave them to Biden in direct proportion to how Republican a precinct was (and how many Republican votes it had to transfer).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ztu5Y5obWPk

Not everyone has 70 minutes to watch this so I'll summarize. I saw it around the time it came out and found the subsequent "debunkings" unconvincing and probably fraudulent. I also saw a number of armchair commenters on leftist sites who clearly did not understand the relationship that was being graphed, taking strong positions against Ayyadurai's data.

Ayyadurai ran for Senate in Massachusetts as an Independent (not as a Republican, as I've seen reported) and as I recall he claims the election was rigged against him using similar methods to the ones he describes here. He may have pioneered the term "election fraud" in this video, arguing that voter fraud wrongly pins the blame on the voters who are impersonated. Here's the gist of his study:

Ayyadurai made a separate graph for each of the counties by plotting its precincts. The graph is simple once you figure it out but you'll have to think about it for a minute (I did): The X-axis quantifies how "Red" a precinct voted in 2020, by computing the percentage of its "Straight Ticket" votes that went Straight Republican. The Y-axis quantifies Trump's performance relative to the other Republicans on the ticket (senators, city council, etc.)

So on the left you have the blue precincts plotted and as you go right the plotted precincts become more and more conservative; on top you have the precincts where Trump overperformed (received more votes than) downballot Republicans, and on bottom they overperformed him.

In all three swing counties, Trump overperformed the other Republicans on the ticket (by around 7%), but only in precincts where the straight ticket vote was less than 20% Republican.

For precincts that were over 20% Republican (by straight ticket vote), Trump's performance relative to downballot Republicans declined linearly, in direct proportion to how Republican the straight ticket was: the more Republican the precinct voted, the worse Trump did against the other Republicans.

This relationship did not present itself in Wayne County, where almost every precinct is all the way left and consequently very few votes would be transferred: in Wayne County, Trump continued to overperform downballot Republicans in precincts with a high percentage of Straight Tickets going Republican.

Thus, in Macomb, Kent and Oakland Counties, you can see the precincts plotted stay level as you move from 0-20% Republican, and from there decline sharply and move further down as you move further Right: like a hockey stick. In Wayne County, where most all of the precincts are on the Left, the average of the precincts moves in a straight line to the right, without breaking down at 20%.

This is less eye-grabbing to a layman than a statistician but what it shows unambiguously is the data and therefore the votes being rigged: even if somehow the Republicans in red precincts favored Trump less than they do in blue precincts, as implausible as this would be, it would never add up to the precincts breaking downward at exactly 20% and maintaining a perfect line to the end.

Ayyadurai attributes this to a "weighted vote" being done by algorithm and names Diebold voting systems in 2001 as the first to use such a "weighted vote" system, by which one candidate's votes would be multiplied by a different number than his opponent–say Candidate A's votes would be multiplied by 1.25 and candidate B's by .75; if they then received the same number of votes, Candidate B would have a quarter of his votes transferred to his opponent.

He cites a local law that was made to do this legally and posits that it's still being done, possibly all over the country.

Powell has referred to these weighted votes, which she sometimes called fractional votes, happening in Georgia as summarized here.

Here is a source of hers, Russ Ramsland, saying that fractional voting was used to rig Michigan.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lg4_Qd_rYVc

The 7 minute clip includes a 2016 excerpt from Bloomberg Technology's Digital Defense webcast, in which the narrator describes Diebold's vote tabulation system, "Gems":

Gems is a vote tabulation system that was created by a company once known as Diebold. A lot of people think Diebold is dead, it's not, it's just been absorbed into other vote technology companies. An interesting thing about the gems tabulator is not just that it's used in many of the elections that many of you may participate in, but it has a 'bug' or a 'feature' as its creators would call it.

"Bug" of course is a synonym for "glitch".

They then quote Bennie Smith, who later contributed to Ayyadurai's study, saying "having access to decimals [fractional voting] allows you to perform and finance what they call an allocation," such as 'make sure Smith gets 27.64%' (on screen example) …"you have to be in line with what polling data says, if it's a close race you have to make it close… it allows for decimal precision."

If I understand him right, Smith also suggests that a precise program like this could be, and was, used to sell votes.

To conclude: My goal here was to present this tabulation problem/"feature" in a way that makes sense to laymen and gives insight into why Dominion's system warrants skepticism and investigation. Powell is litigating this in multiple states, and Trump's team has forensically examined 22 Dominion machines from Antrim County, MI. By the timeline in that article, the results should be announced on or around the evening of December 9th.

Theory: Trump Transferred Power to the Military on the 11th; Biden's "Inauguration" was pending Jan. 22nd Supreme Court Review

by John Cleer | ABCU8

On January 11th the State Department changed the president's biography to read, “|Donald J. Trump's term ended on 2021-01-11 19:49:00|” [<-hyperlink https://web.archive.org/web/20210111200247/https://www.state.gov/biographies/donald-j-trump/]; the vice president's read "Michael R. Pence's term ended on 2021-01-11 19:45:15."

Those State Department updates were later scrubbed and explained as the work of a disgruntled employee by |2 anonymous diplomats| [<-hyperlink https://gazette.com/news/disgruntled-employee-changed-state-department-s-website-to-say-that-trump-s-term-ends-today/article_80adcb0e-544d-11eb-9391-d7ab923a6287.html] via fake news CNN and Buzzfeed, in case anyone still believes second hand anonymous sources on CNN. I for one do not—it's hearsay—so I am still curious about what happened.

More than anything I want to know why President Trump apparently gave up and walked away, declining to exercise |his options| [<-hyperlink: https://abcu8.co/2020/12/23/how-trump-wins/] as obligated by Oath and failed to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

But I do not believe that's what he did.

I read a theory last night that Trump in fact transferred power to the military on the 11th, which if true would explain the biography changes. Do I know if it's true? No, but in these strange times it wouldn't be out of character.

The 11th of Jan. was the same day the Supreme Court |declined| <-hyperlink https://www.law360.com/articles/1343380/supreme-court-in-no-rush-to-weigh-trump-election-lawsuits] to hear Trump's election lawsuits before the inauguration, and Trump's response according to this theory was immediate: without the Supreme Court ruling, there would be no inauguration.

In effect, the presidency and everything that comes with it would be held in escrow by the military until the judicial process was complete.

The Supreme Court will review Trump v. Pennsylvania tomorrow, Jan. 22. Here's the |docket|[<-hyperlink: https://www.supremecourt.gov/Search.aspx?FileName=/docket/docketfiles/html/public/20-845.html] .

In the meantime, the military is all over Washington DC and there is some speculation that Trump instituted martial law on Monday when he declared a National Emergency through Jan. 24.

The National Guard started busing thousands of troops into DC almost immediately after the capital building was stormed [<-hyperlink https://www.bizpacreview.com/2021/01/09/video-of-police-opening-doors-inviting-protesters-into-capitol-building-is-baffling-to-say-the-least-1014206/], and by Jan. 9th they'd announced |6,200 personnel| [<- hyperlink https://wjla.com/news/local/more-than-6000-military-personnel-expected-in-dc-by-end-of-weekend ], would be in DC. By Biden's inauguration on the 20th, that number had grown to 27,000 National Guardsmen, 14,000 police and 5,000 DoD employees being stationed in DC to enforce a peaceful transfer of power, ostensibly to Biden's administration.

That is a far cry from the |340 Guardsmen| [<-hyperlinik: https://apnews.com/article/joe-biden-donald-trump-politics-electoral-college-muriel-bowser-1634bf71a27de48efef3cd1e6ed4abe4] that DC Mayor Bowser initially requested. The day after the riot she called on Congress to transfer power of the DC National Guard from the president to her. It didn't work.

I am not confident in a Supreme Court led by Chief Justice Roberts because he has a history of indefensible decisions, which led me to believe the rumors that he is blackmailed are true. To be clear, I have no idea if he is the same John Roberts from the Epstein flight logs, but I think he can be counted on to do the wrong thing.

I am not a fan of the decisions Trump's appointees have made, and I don't expect them and the liberals to rule in Trump's favor, so hopefully this isn't the end of the line.

I'd be very surprised if it were.
