Georgia Secretary of State Hired Dominion-Linked Firm to Conduct Audit of Dominion Voting Systems

The firm that conducted the audit of the Dominion Voting Systems in Georgia has links with Dominion Voting Systems.

And guess what?

They didn’t find anything!

There was “no sign of foul play.”

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger hired the firm.

Raffensperger also has ties with Dominion and used Dominion executive and Antifa activist Eric Coomer in his defense earlier this year.

Jeff Carlson at Epoch Times reported:

The firm hired by Georgia’s secretary of state to conduct an “audit” of Dominion Voting Systems technology used during the 2020 elections is the same one that previously certified the Dominion systems and also approved a last-minute system-wide software change just weeks before the election.

Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger failed to disclose that the company, Pro V&V, had a preexisting relationship with Dominion that dated back years, in his Nov. 17 statement announcing the results of the audit.

Raffensperger also failed to disclose that Dominion had used technical conclusions from Pro V&V in a pre-election Georgia lawsuit that questioned the reliability of Dominion’s systems during a last-minute software fix before the Nov. 3 election. The testing from Pro V&V had been characterized as “superficial” and “cursory testing” by an expert cited in court documents.

In the widely quoted statement, Raffensperger said that the audit of Dominion machines was complete, there was “no sign of foul play,” and that “Pro V&V found no evidence” of tampering with the machines

White House Fires Pentagon Advisory Board Members Via Generic Email In Final Purge

Politico reports on Friday what appears to be the Trump admin's final house cleaning of Pentagon top civilian ranks.

Multiple members of the Defense Business Board, the members of which are appointed annually by the Secretary of Defense to help streamline interaction with the defense private sector, were notified by White House email that they have been unexpectedly terminated.

Two former board members described it as Trump's final "clean out" of Pentagon leadership during the remaining few weeks of his term.

Members of the board received a brief email from Joshua Whitehouse, the White House liaison to the Department of Defense, that simply said, "if you are receiving this e-mail, your membership on the Defense Business Board has expired or is coming to an end."

"This e-mail serves as notice that we will be nominating new board members," the notice continued. "We appreciate your service to the Department and your country."

The now fired board members said they had no heads-up or warning whatsoever of the impending action. The email notification came seemingly out of nowhere.

"A number of board members have been terminated with a form letter. In my experience, I was very surprised that the White House would, at the eleventh hour, adjust an advisory board that for 19 years has had a record of nonpartisan support with the department," the until today board chairman Michael Bayer, described to Politico.

"This kind of a move really will weigh heavily on people on the future and their willingness to serve on these outside advisory boards if they're going to be subjected to political loyalty test. It's unprecedented. I'm just saddened," Bayer added.

Pfizer CEO "Not Certain" Vaccine Will Stop People From Spreading COVID-19

Just one day after the United Kingdom became the first western nation to approve the inoculation, Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla says that he is “not certain” that the company’s vaccine will prevent people from carrying and spreading the virus to others.

In a Thursday night interview with NBC, the CEO expressed confidence in the ability “to send vaccines within 24 hours basically [anywhere] in the U.S.” after receiving emergency use authorization from the Food and Drug Administration, but he remains unconfident in the vaccine’s ability to be a silver bullet against people carrying and transmitting COVID-19.

“Even though I’ve had the protection, am I still able to transmit it to other people?” NBC’s Lester Holt asked, to which Bourla responded: "I think this is something that needs to be examined. We are not certain about that right now.”

On whether someone can still transmit the virus after vaccination, Pfizer Chairman & CEO Dr. Albert Bourla tells @LesterHoltNBC: “I think this is something that needs to be examined. We are not certain about that right now with what we know.” #Dateline

Last month, Pfizer announced that its vaccine – developed along side BioNTech – proved over 90% effective in giving immunity. Although this statistic on its face sounds remarkable, researchers have warned that the clinical trials did not assess whether the vaccine can prevent the virus from spreading.

“We have no knowledge about whether it prevents you from actually acquiring the infection at all,” Dr. Larry Corey, a virologist at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, told Business Insider.

The FDA is expected to make a decision on emergency use authorization as soon as December 10.

Moncef Slaoui, the top adviser on the US government’s Operation Warp Speed, predicted on Wednesday that more than 100 million Americans would be vaccinated against COVID-19 within the next 100 days.

Considering the lack of confidence from not only the Pfizer CEO, but also researchers in the field, about the potential inability of the vaccine to prevent infections and the spread of the virus, it will remain to be seen how many people actually take the jab.

A poll from STAT and The Harris Poll showed in November that 6 in 10 Americans said they are somewhat or very likely to get a Covid-19 vaccine if doing so would lower the risk of becoming infected by about half.

Polls out of the UK show that some 67% of people say they are “likely” or “very likely” to receive the vaccine if it were voluntary, however, if the shot was to be made compulsory, this figure fell to 65%.

The UK is expected to begin giving Pfizer’s shots to a portion of the population next week.

Democrats’ Lawyer in Nevada: Dead Voters Can Cast Valid Mail-in Ballots Before Death

Attorney Kevin Hamilton, representing Democratic Party electors for Joe Biden, told a Nevada court in Carson City on Thursday that ballots cast by people who have died are still legal votes as long as they mailed them before death.

Hamilton was responding to claims by attorney Jessie Binnall, representing Republicans and electors for President Donald Trump, who claimed that 1,500 ballots were cast in the state by people listed as dead by the Social Security Administration.

-2,468 votes by voters that legally changed their address to another state or country

-Appx 42k voters who voted twice in NV

-Appx 1,500 voters listed as deceased by the SSA

-Almost 20k NV voters with a non NV mailing address

-Appx 6k USPS flags on vacant addresses

— Nevada GOP (@NVGOP) December 3, 2020

However, Hamilton replied that Trump”s lawyers had failed to prove the votes cast by dead people were invalid, and that their witness, former Republican National Committee data officer Jesse Kamzol, had not submitted specific evidence:

Voters who pass away obviously can’t vote, unless they cast their ballot prior to their death. But Mr. Kamzol offers the court no evidence with respect to the date of death of the voters he identifies here. Or fundamentally, he doesn’t in fact identify even a single voter whose ballot was cast after he or she passed away. Not one. And yet he claims that there are thousands. You’d think he would attach them to a declaration, that he would come forward with a report, that he’d name even one.

The judge in the case is expected to rule Friday on the Trump campaign’s claims of voter fraud and irregularities.

US poised to overhaul the country’s anti-money laundering legislation

Congress has released the National Defense Authorization Act, which includes reforms that would effectively end fully anonymous shell companies.

The United States looks set to overhaul the country’s anti-money-laundering legislation, after widely-supported provisions were officially included in a must-pass annual defense spending bill on Thursday.

The reforms, based on proposals by bipartisan groups of lawmakers from both the Senate and the House of Representatives, would mandate that companies in the U.S. report their ultimate owners to the Treasury Department, effectively ending fully anonymous shell companies.

The provisions will also see the U.S. strengthen its financial intelligence work, including bulking up the data collection of the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, known as FinCEN, and increasing international cooperation between financial crime units. The ownership data would not be made public.

It’s the single most important change Congress could make to better protect our financial system from abuse.

— Ian Gary, FACT Coalition

The legislation was officially included in the final version of the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2021, a giant spending bill that usually passes with bipartisan support to ensure continued funding for national defense.

Virginia Sen. Mark Warner, a Democrat, said the inclusion of the anti-money-laundering legislation in the defense spending bill would help close “holes in our financial system [that] pose a serious threat to national security.”

“It is past time to put an end to the secrecy that allows drug cartels, human traffickers, arms dealers, terrorists and kleptocrats to exploit the United States’ banking system in order to carry out anti-American activities,” Warner said in a statement issued alongside fellow Democrat Doug Jones and Republican Mike Rounds, who co-authored the ILLICIT CASH Act that was used as the basis for some of the provisions.

The final legislation brings together numerous reforms of the financial system that have been proposed in recent years, and that have referenced a number of investigations into financial secrecy by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists.

Pope Francis: 2020 Looked Bad Even Before the Coronavirus Outbreak

ROME — The year 2020 was already looking like a tough year even before the coronavirus outbreak, Pope Francis told a group of new ambassadors to the Holy See Friday.

“You are beginning your mission at a time of great challenge facing the entire human family,” the pontiff told ambassadors from Jordan, Kazakhstan, Zambia, Mauritania, Uzbekistan, Madagascar, Estonia, Rwanda, Denmark, and India.

“Even before the outbreak of COVID-19, it was clear that 2020 was going to be a year marked by urgent humanitarian needs, due to conflicts, violence and terrorism in different parts of our world,” Francis continued. “Economic crises are causing hunger and mass migration, while climate change is increasing the risk of natural disasters, famine and drought.”

The coronavirus pandemic was icing on the cake, he continued, by aggravating the world’s other crises and exacerbating inequalities.

“Indeed, the pandemic is aggravating the inequalities already present in our societies; as the poor and the most vulnerable of our brothers and sisters risk being neglected, excluded and forgotten,” he said.

Pope Francis warned Wednesday that violent terrorism is on the rise in Europe, following recent lethal attacks by jihadists in Nice, France and Vienna, Austria. https://t.co/2uur08MALz

“The crisis has made us realize that we are in the same boat, all of us fragile and disoriented, but at the same time important and needed, all of us called to row together, each of us in need of comforting the other,” he added.

The pope has been a vocal proponent of a “great reset,” insisting that the pandemic offers an opportunity to rethink society and recreate it in a radically different way.

In his recent op-ed for the New York Times, the pope said that this “is a moment to dream big, to rethink our priorities — what we value, what we want, what we seek — and to commit to act in our daily life on what we have dreamed of.”

Pope Francis has decried the resurgence of populism and nationalism on the world stage, calling instead for greater multilateralism. https://t.co/bMqd5gZWSc

“God asks us to dare to create something new,” he declared. “We cannot return to the false securities of the political and economic systems we had before the crisis. We need economies that give to all access to the fruits of creation, to the basic needs of life: to land, lodging and labor.”

“We need to slow down, take stock and design better ways of living together on this earth,” he proposed.

The pope’s words echoed the proposal made recently by the World Economic Forum (WEF) at Davos, in its formulation of the “Great Reset.”

“The Covid-19 crisis, and the political, economic and social disruptions it has caused, is fundamentally changing the traditional context for decision-making,” the WEF states on its website.

Pope Francis has reiterated his call for a more welcoming attitude toward migrants, insisting everyone has the right to “dream of a better future.” https://t.co/tdUk6Oeeju

“As we enter a unique window of opportunity to shape the recovery, this initiative will offer insights to help inform all those determining the future state of global relations, the direction of national economies, the priorities of societies, the nature of business models and the management of a global commons,” it declares.

“Drawing from the vision and vast expertise of the leaders engaged across the Forum’s communities, the Great Reset initiative has a set of dimensions to build a new social contract that honours the dignity of every human being,” it adds.

Ex-teacher, coach charged with raping teen student at his home

A former Tennessee high school teacher and athletics coach has been charged with raping a 16-year-old student after connecting with the teen on Instagram, police said.

Timothy Williams, a 30-year-old who taught social studies and coached track at Mt. Juliet High School, was arrested Thursday on two counts of aggravated statutory rape after he sexually assaulted the female student at his Nashville home.

An investigation revealed Williams picked the girl up in June at a friend’s house in Mt. Juliet, where she had planned to spend the night. Police said Williams then took her back to his home before returning the girl to her friend’s residence the following morning.

Detectives said the victim’s account was backed up by license plate readers in Mt. Juliet, a town of about 37,000 roughly 20 miles east of Nashville.

It is unclear if he taught the student but police are now concerned that Williams, who taught in the district since 2013, may have victimized others.

Williams, who was suspended by Wilson County Schools when the allegations came to light, later resigned prior to the start of the school year, district officials told WSMV.

“At that time, our schools were not in session due to summer break,” district officials said in a statement to the station. “We have worked very closely with local law enforcement throughout their investigation and will continue to do so moving forward.”

Williams also served as an assistant football coach at the school, the Tennessean reported.

The former educator is also facing misdemeanor drug charges after cops found more than 30 grams of marijuana and drug paraphernalia at his home during a search on July 8, the newspaper reported.

It’s unclear if Williams, who remained jailed Thursday on $50,000 bond, has hired an attorney who could speak on his behalf.

Anyone with information about other possible victims should call Nashville police at (615) 862-7417.
