Texas Mayoral Candidate Zul Mohamed Arrested, Charged with 109 Counts For Mail-In Ballot Fraud Scheme

Texas Mayoral candidate Zul Mohamed was arrested Wednesday night and charged with 109 counts of voter fraud.

Zul Mohamed was running to become Mayor of Carrollton, just north of Dallas, but he got caught in a mail-in ballot scheme.

“Mail ballots are inherently insecure and vulnerable to fraud, and I am committed to safeguarding the integrity of our elections. My office is prepared to assist any Texas county in combating this form of fraud,” Attorney General Ken Paxton said in a statement.

Investigators were tipped off after someone requested absentee ballots be sent to a PO Box which supposedly belonged to a nursing home.

When investigators contacted residents whose ballots had been requested to be sent to the PO Box, they learned that the individuals never applied for ballots.

Authorities later learned that the PO Box was obtained with a fake Texas driver’s license so they began to surveil the post office.

Wednesday night the box of absentee ballots was picked up at the post office facility.

Law enforcement searched Mohamed’s home and that’s when they found the box of ballots with many already open.

Fox News reported:

A Texas mayoral candidate was arrested Wednesday night and faces felony voter fraud charges after allegedly sending 84 applications for mail-in ballots.

Zul Mohamed, who’s running to become the mayor of Carrollton, a city roughly one hour north of Dallas, was charged with 25 counts of knowingly possessing a ballot with intent to defraud, a second-degree felony, and 84 counts of providing false info on a voting application, a third-degree felony, according to the Texas attorney general’s office

Voter fraud is a serious and widespread issue and cannot be tolerated,” Denton County Sheriff Tracey Murphree said in a statement. “The fact an actual candidate for public office would engage in these activities is appalling. We will continue to aggressively investigate allegations of voter fraud.”

If convicted, Mohamed faces up to 20 years in prison.

So when is Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar getting arrested and charged for carrying out a similar ballot harvesting scheme?

On The Destruction Of The World Economy By The Central Banks

For years, we have been warning about dire consequences if central banks continue to meddle in the economy and financial markets. In December 2013, we wrote

There is a serious possibility that the measures taken by the central banks have already created a situation in which their actions increase rather than decrease financial instability. This is due to the fact that, if the actual price of an asset does not meet its market–based value, the true level of risk is not properly revealed.

During the “Coronavirus rescue” by the major central banks from March through June of this year, we essentially ran down the clock. No viable paths remain to escape the vicious feedback loop between central banks and financial markets - at least without serious repercussions.

Over the years, central banks have created conditions where prices in capital markets—and by implication, the resulting capital allocation structure—have become distorted to a previously unimaginable degree.

This has resulted in three extremely troublesome fragilities at the heart of the world economy.

First, it has led to ‘yield hunting’ among investors, who are forced to seek higher yields from riskier financial products.

Secondly, it has led to a permanent central bank intervention in the financial markets, because without it a crash would surely occur.

Thirdly - and this is something that has received much too little attention - the massive capital misallocations due to unnaturally low interest rates have ‘hollowed-out’ vast sectors of the global economy.

We have been focusing on the fragility of the financial markets frequently lately, so this time we will concentrate on the capital misallocation issue instead, though the two are inherently linked.

The driving force of the economy

In March 2019 we devoted the entirety of the Q-Review to explain why global economic growth has sputtered since 2009.

We explored, extensively, the concept of creative destruction, which describes the process by which capitalist economies evolve and grow over time. In essence, creative destruction enables the flow of technical innovations into the economy through the destruction of old and inefficient production methods and enterprises, and the emergence of new, more productive firms.

Moreover, we wrote that

The risk-and-reward relationship, that is, the gains and failures of the private sector drive economic progress. The first accumulates income and capital, while the second uncovers sustainable businesses, setting the stage for the creative destruction.

In essence, this is what a capitalist economy is all about. The accumulation of capital is required to provide the funding for sustainable businesses, which provide employment, personal income and tax revenues.

Price discovery in the modern capital markets is essential to accurately evaluate the risk-and-reward relationship of both real economic investments as well as those of financial assets. Price discovery thus guides the efficient allocation of capital to its most profitable employment, based on the information gathered by millions of investors. This idea is part of the bedrock of capitalist theory.

Pelosi to Announce Bill to Form 25th Amendment Congressional Commission to Study Removing Trump From Office

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) announced she will be holding a press conference Friday morning with Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) to announce legislation to create a 25th Amendment Congressional commission. The 25th Amendment authorizes such a committee to be formed by Congress to study whether to remove the President, in this case President Trump, from office.

Pelosi previewed the announcement during a press conference Thursday morning.

Pelosi said in an interview with Bloomberg TV later on Thursday that Trump is in an “altered state” (following his infection last week by the COVID-19 China coronavirus and treatments to fight off the virus.)

The press conference will be held at 10:15 a.m. EDT Friday at the Capitol to discuss the Commission on Presidential Capacity to Discharge the Powers and Duties of Office Act to “help ensure effective and uninterrupted leadership in the highest office of the Executive Branch on government.”

MI AG Nessel on Plot to Kidnap Gov. Whitmer: Trump’s Rhetoric a ‘Command to Action’ to Extremists

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel (D) said on Thursday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Live With Katy Tur,” that President Donald Trump’s rhetoric played a role in the plot to violently overthrow the state government by kidnaping Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, thwarted by the FBI.

Nessel said, “Well, obviously, they traffic in the politics of extremism, but I’ll say this, I’m a lifelong Michigander, and you can go back to the Oklahoma City bombing and see there’s a relationship between Michigan militia groups and that horrible event, but things died down for quite some time. Things escalated exponentially recently, and first of all, of course, having a president that seems to condone these types of actions. Certainly, I would say more than dog whistles out there. Right? I mean, very good people on both sides. And as you indicated before, tweets to liberate Michigan. What does that mean exactly? And, you know, calls to stand back and stand by talking about the Proud Boys. So this is a president that traffics in extremism. I hear the press frequently talk about it in terms of a dog whistle to these groups, but to me, it’s not a dog whistle. It is really a command to action more than anything. Especially I see that in terms of our governor.”

She continued, “What these groups often tend to do is they take advantage of moments of civil unrest and between the COVID epidemic and the Black Lives Matter protests, things have only escalated more and more. You see this hateful rhetoric against our governor for months and months and seen it enabled not just by the president but by other elected leaders in our state that call her a dictator or use other very hostile language towards her. I think that this is building up for a long time, the FBI has taken note of it, and it was time to step in and to ensure that she did not lose her life and that we didn’t have anybody else in our states potentially threatened either and time to move forward on these 13 different defendants.”
