Tucker Carlson: Democrats Have Conditioned Americans to ‘Passively Accept’ ‘Election Theft’
Democrats force Americans to accept crumby elections under the threat of civil war, and now they're openly admitting it.
Fox News host Tucker Carlson said that Democrats have conditioned Americans to “passively accept” election theft under the threat of a civil war, using their media apparatus to help drive fear into voters who think about asking too many questions.
Tucker Carlson predicted on the eve of the midterms that the Democrats would use ballot box chaos to steal elections and demonstrated how, alongside their associated acts in mockingbird media, they’re conditioning Americans to accept it.
“Democrats absolutely cannot lose the midterm elections,” Carlson tweeted. “And with that in mind, they’re already preparing us for election theft, which if you don’t want a civil war, you must passively accept.”
Included in the tweet was a Tucker Carlson Tonight segment that aired on Fox News just ahead of the midterms. In the segment, Carlson used corporate media’s own reporting to show their dramatic shift on the existence of serious, widespread election integrity issues.
After lambasting Americans who called the 2020 Presidential Election into question and even demanding their arrest, publications like Politico are now reporting on the massive integrity issues with America’s elections and electronic voting equipment.
“Electronic voting machines, Politico told us, are in fact easily hacked and manipulated,” said Carlson. “Which is why real countries like France have banned them and use paper ballots instead.”
But that’s just the way it is, corporate media tells the American people.
“If we don’t eliminate freedom of speech in this country and impose more censorship to fight disinformation, voters might try to opt out of the current utopia,” Carlson said in the segment, citing a recent Guardian report that claimed if Americans don’t accept the Democrats’ will and their shady election practices, “we’ll have a civil war.”

Well, That’s Odd: Election Map of New York Appears to Show Exact Same Vote Counts For All Red Counties
Election night reporting has become an absolute disaster for several of the latest elections. We have witnessed votes subtracted from one update to the next. We have seen reporting weeks ahead of the actual election in Michigan earlier this year for the primaries, and then last week when a local station declared Katie Hobbs the winner over Kari Lake 12 days before the election took place.
But last night during the New York election night reporting, something that we’ve not yet seen happen: New York was dead silent in the governor’s race. All of the sudden, it was 99% reporting. But even more bizarre? Look at the reporting for the counties “won” by Lee Zeldin, the GOP candidate. Furthermore, some of the Hochul counties were identical.
I’m sure we’ll get some excuse or a fact check or something without anyone actually answering as to how this happened. You can’t ask questions anymore. “Trust us.”
The New York election map shows the exact same counts in all of the red counties on TV.

Transgender Democrat Wins Minnesota House Seat in Landslide Victory
A transgender was elected to the Minnesota House in District 66A in this year’s midterm election.
Leigh Finke won in a landslide with 81% of the vote – or 15,635 votes, Fox News reported.
Finke will serve St. Paul, Falcon Heights, Roseville, and Lauderdale.
“In the last two years, we’ve been seeing just a marked increase in the coordinated attacks against trans people and trans communities in the United States and in Minnesota,” he said. “I just felt like it was absolutely essential to have someone from our community in those rooms.”
“Many stories will be written about Minnesota’s elections. One undeniable story is the rise of Queer Political Power. 11 LGBTQ Candidates for the legislature: 11 victories. In those 11 victories are many firsts. Let’s. Make. Trouble. Onward!” Leigh Finke said.

A much-awaited report by Brazil’s Defence Ministry has failed to indicate recent ballots were fraudulent, scuppering the far-right’s hopes of delegitimising the election of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
The military sent the 63-page report to Brazil’s electoral authorities late on Wednesday after days of speculation that it would back claims by extremist president Jair Bolsonaro that the election was tainted.

Bolsonaro, a former army captain, has spent months hinting he would not accept a loss at the polls and frequently called into question the reliability of Brazil’s electronic ballot boxes, even though he provided no evidence they could be tampered with.
His supporters hoped the military would back up these claims but the only note of doubt was a weak suggestion a committee be formed to ensure the source code used in the boxes cannot be tampered with.
Brazil’s senior electoral official said they “received with satisfaction the final report from the Defence Ministry that, in common with all the other monitoring agencies, does not point to any fraud or inconsistency in electronic ballot boxes or in the 2022 electoral process”.
Alexandre Moraes, the supreme court justice who heads the electoral court, said “The suggestions on ways to perfect the system will be analysed.”
The Defence Ministry report was published a day after the Brazilian Bar Association said it had found no reports of anything untoward during the two rounds of voting for president, governors, Congress and state legislatures in 27 states.
Their report said it found evidence “the electoral justice system preserved evenness and security”.

Premier Palaszczuk declares new Covid wave in Qld, moves to Amber status, as cases climb
Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has issued an urgent warning to the state as it stares down a fresh Covid outbreak.
There are now 203 people being treated for Covid in Queensland hospital – almost double what it was this time last week.
The XBB strain, which is resistant to vaccines and antibodies from previous infections, emerged in Singapore a few weeks ago.
It now makes up more than half of all Covid cases in Australia.
Over the last week, 37,097 cases of COVID-19 were reported across Australia, an average of 5,300 cases per day.

CISA Director Says No Evidence of Compromised Voting Systems in 2022 Midterms
Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) Director Jen Easterly said there has been no evidence of any compromised voting systems across the United States in the midterm elections.
CISA is an agency of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that works with government and industry partners to defend against current and predicted threats to cyber and physical infrastructure, including election infrastructure.
“We have seen no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was any way compromised in any race in the country,” Easterly said in a statement on Wednesday.
She also said that election officials in the days after the election are carrying out a “rigorous” process to finalize and certify the results, which include actions such as tabulating votes, reviewing procedures, and testing and auditing equipment.
“It’s important to remember that this thorough and deliberative process can take days or weeks, depending on state laws; these rigorous procedures are why the American people can have confidence in the security and integrity of the election,” she said.
“We urge everyone to look towards your state and local election officials for the most accurate and up-to-date information about vote counts and to remain patient as election officials continue to do their jobs and carry out the certification process.”

The Secret Wars: anti-Russian bot army exposed by Australian researchers
Bot armies, fake tweets and hashtags are the new front in propaganda wars. A groundbreaking study, exposing a massive anti-Russia social media disinformation campaign, has been effectively ignored by the Western establishment media, writes Peter Cronau.
A team of researchers at the University of Adelaide have found that as many as 80% of tweets about the 2022 Russia-Ukraine invasion in its early weeks were part of a covert propaganda campaign originating from automated fake ‘bot’ accounts.
An anti-Russia propaganda campaign originating from a ‘bot army’ of fake automated Twitter accounts flooded the internet at the start of the war. The research shows of the more than 5 million tweets studied, 90.2% of all tweets (both bot and non-bot) came from accounts that were pro-Ukraine, with fewer than 7% of the accounts being classed as pro-Russian.
The university researchers also found these automated tweets had been purposely used to drive up fear among people targeted by them, boosting a high level of statistically measurable ‘angst’ in the online discourse.
The research team analysed a massively unprecedented 5,203,746 tweets, sent with key hashtags, in the first two weeks of the Russian invasion of Ukraine from February 24. The researchers considered predominately English-language accounts, with a calculated 1.8-million unique Twitter accounts in the dataset posting at least one English-language tweet.
The results were published in August in a research paper, titled “#IStandWithPutin versus #IStandWithUkraine: The interaction of bots and humans in discussion of the Russia/Ukraine war“, by the University of Adelaide’s School of Mathematical Science.
The size of the sample under study – over 5 million tweets – dwarfs other recent studies of covert propaganda in social media surrounding the Ukraine war.
The little-reported Stanford University/Graphika research on Western disinformation, analysed by Declassified Australia in September, examined just under 300,000 tweets from 146 Twitter accounts. The Meta/Facebook research on Russian disinformation reported widely by mainstream media, including the ABC a fortnight later, looked at 1600 Facebook accounts.
Reports on the new research have appeared in a few independent media sites, and in Russia’s RT, but not much else, so revealing the burial of stories that don’t fit the desired pro-Western narrative.
This groundbreaking study, exposing a massive anti-Russia social media disinformation campaign, has been effectively ignored by the mainstream Western establishment media. It has become almost routine during the Russia-Ukraine war.
A storm of disinformation
The Adelaide University researchers unearthed a massive organised pro-Ukraine influence operation underway from the early stages of the conflict. Overall the study found automated ‘bot’ accounts to be the source of between 60 to 80% of all tweets in the dataset.
The published data shows that in the first week of the Ukraine-Russia war there was a mass of pro-Ukrainian hashtag bot activity. Approximately 3.5 million tweets using the hashtag #IStandWithUkraine were sent by bots in that first week.
In fact, it was like someone had flicked a switch, when at the start of the war on February 24, pro-Ukraine bot activity burst into life. In that first day of the war the #IStandWithUkraine hashtag was used in as many as 38,000 tweets each hour, rising to 50,000 tweets an hour by day three of the war.
By comparison, the data shows that in the first week there was an almost total absence of pro-Russian bot activity using the key hashtags. During that first week of the invasion, pro-Russian bots were sending off tweets using the #IStandWithPutin or #IStandWithRussia hashtags at a rate of only several hundred per hour.

Joe Biden: Threats of Hunter Biden Investigations from Republicans ‘Almost Comedy’
President Joe Biden dismissed upcoming investigations by House Republicans on Wednesday when they ultimately take control of the House of Representatives as expected.
“Lots of luck in your senior year as my coach used to say,” Biden scoffed when asked about investigations into his administration and his family.
The president spoke about looming investigations during a press conference at the White House regarding the results of the midterm elections.
Republicans have previewed investigations into Biden’s handling of the border crisis, the exit from Afghanistan, some of his cabinet officials, and his son Hunter Biden.
Biden referred to reports that Trump was asking Republicans how many times they planned to impeach him.
“I mean, I think the American people will look at all that for what it is – it’s almost comedy,” he said.
He indicated that Americans did not care about those issues, but said he could not control what Republicans would do.
“I think the American public wants us to move on and get things done for them,” he said.

From Auschwitz to Iftar: Danish Muslim-Jewish biker club revs up interfaith dialogue
Uniting over a common love of motorcycles, members of MuJu & Co. hit the road to fight bigotry, including guarding over a Jewish cemetery in Copenhagen every Kristallnacht
Three years ago, Danish neo-Nazi groups vandalized more than 80 graves in a Jewish cemetery in Randers on the anniversary of Kristallnacht, the day on which the Nazis unleashed a wave of pogroms against Jews in Germany and Austria in 1938, unofficially marking the start of the Holocaust.
Ever since the 2019 desecration in Randers, an unlikely group comes to patrol the main Jewish cemetery in Copenhagen every year on Kristallnacht: a motorcycle club wearing leather vests adorned with their signature hamsa patch — a palm-shaped good luck symbol among both Jews and Muslims.
“We do this to make sure it won’t happen again, and we will do the same if someone [vandalized] the Muslim cemetery… or even a Buddhist or Christian cemetery,” said Dr. Sohail Asghar, the co-founder and vice president of MuJu & Co. MC Danmark, an interfaith motorcycle club in Copenhagen for Muslims, Jews and their allies.
Biker groups clad in leather are often perceived as being tough guys who drive fast, don’t mess around and walk a bit on the wild side. But the members of MuJu & Co. turn up in places where biker gangs are not expected to congregate — such as the Auschwitz-Birkenau memorial, a mosque in downtown Copenhagen, or a Jewish cemetery on the anniversary of Kristallnacht.
MuJu & Co. is Denmark’s first and only motorcycle club with a focus on Muslim-Jewish relations. It was founded in 2019 to unite motorcycle fanatics who are also interested in spreading a message of tolerance.

Biden comments on ‘blank check’ for Ukraine
The US leader insists on “uninterrupted” weapons supplies to Kiev
US President Joe Biden said he expects American aid to Ukraine will continue indefinitely, but argued the assistance to the country has limits after Republican critics slammed the billions in arms shipments and cash transfers authorized by his administration.
Asked whether the aid would continue “uninterrupted,” Biden told reporters “That is my expectation,” going on to respond to charges from some GOP lawmakers that US assistance to Ukraine has been excessive.
“And by the way, we’ve not given Ukraine a blank check. There’s a lot of things Ukraine wants that we didn’t do,” he said on Wednesday, noting that Kiev had requested American aircraft to defend its skies.
“I said ‘No, we’re not going to do that. We’re not going to get into a third world war, taking on Russian aircraft and directly engage,” he continued, adding that Washington had also refused certain long-range weapons “because I’m not looking for them to start bombing Russian territory.”
Ahead of this week’s midterm election, Republican House leader Kevin McCarthy vowed that Kiev would no longer receive a “blank check” if his party took control of Congress. Biden, however, said he would be “surprised” if the lawmaker “even has a majority of his Republican colleagues who say they’re not going to fund the legitimate defensive needs of Ukraine.”
At one point during the presser, the president said Russian forces were “pulling back from Fallujah,” apparently confusing the Iraqi city for Ukraine’s Kherson before correcting himself.
Moscow announced a withdrawal from the city on Wednesday, to establish a new defense line along the Dnieper River in order to save the lives of soldiers and civilians, according to military officials.
Biden was also asked about recent comments in which he appeared to suggest Kiev could make territorial concessions as part of a peace deal, but denied making such a proposal.
“That’s up to the Ukrainians. Nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine,” he said, echoing a common refrain from his administration. He added that while he previously spoke of “compromises,” he didn’t have any specific ideas in mind.
“I said… they’re going to both lick their wounds, decide what they’re going to do over the winter and decide whether they’re going to compromise. That’s what’s going to happen,” Biden went on. “I don’t know what they’re going to do. But I do know one thing, we’re not going to tell them what they have to do.”

NATO must not ‘underestimate’ Russia – Stoltenberg
The bloc leader’s warning comes after Russia’s withdrawal from Kherson
While NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg hailed Russia’s retreat to the left bank of the Dnieper River as a victory for Ukraine on Wednesday, he nevertheless urged the West not to dismiss Moscow’s potential for a comeback.
Asked about Russia’s announcement of troop withdrawal from Kherson, Stoltenberg praised Kiev's forces for their ability to “liberate more Ukrainian territory,” while making sure to credit “the support they receive from the United Kingdom, from NATO allies and partners” as “essential.”
“We have seen the announcement, but we will of course, wait and see what actually happens on the ground,” he told journalists in London on Wednesday.
“But we should not underestimate Russia, they still have capabilities,” the NATO leader added in a separate interview with Sky News. “We have seen the drones, we have seen the missile attacks. It shows that Russia can still inflict a lot of damage.”
Despite repelling several major offensives by Ukrainian forces in the past months, Russian General Sergey Surovikin opted to withdraw troops from Kherson across the Dnieper on Wednesday, explaining that Russia’s interests were best served by establishing defenses on the river’s left bank to avoid encirclement. He reasoned that should Kiev succeed with its suspected plans to blow up the Kakhovskaya dam, which has been bombarded with missiles for over a month, the resulting flooding would cause massive casualties among the civilians and military alike, in the region that overwhelmingly voted to join Russia in September.

Pulling back ‘to save lives’: Key points of top Russian commander’s Kherson speech
The order to leave the city comes amid what Army General Sergey Surovikin said was a risk of being cut off
Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu has ordered Russian forces to pull back from the city of Kherson and establish a new defense line along the Dnieper River. The minister made the decision on Wednesday following a report by Army General Sergey Surovikin, the commander of the country’s military operation in Ukraine.
One of the goals stated for the move is to assume better positions and save the lives of soldiers and civilians. Here are the key points of Surovikin’s televised speech to the top military brass on the latest developments in the conflict.
Kiev’s forces are targeting civilians
Ukrainian troops have been launching “indiscriminate strikes” against the city of Kherson, hitting schools and hospitals in particular, Surovikin said during his remarks on Wednesday. “People’s lives are in constant danger due to shelling,” he emphasized. Humanitarian aid centers and routes used by civilians for relocation across the Dnieper River are being struck as well, the general added.
Reasons for the pullout
Continued Ukrainian missile strikes on the Kakhovka hydroelectric dam located near Kherson also pose a serious risk to both the military and civilians on the right bank of the Dnieper, according to Surovikin. The dam has already been damaged in Ukrainian attacks, and another “devastating” blow could lead to “large areas” being flooded. It would also lead to massive civilian casualties and leave the Russian troops in the area cut off from the rest of the forces, the general argued as he suggested a pullout. Shoigu said he “agreed” with Surovikin’s arguments and ordered a regrouping of forces to the left bank of the Dnieper.
Successful defense and counter-offensives
Russian troops had earlier been able to successfully repel Ukrainian advances both in Kherson Region and in Donbass, Surovikin said. In particular, they managed to stop an offensive from the city of Kupyansk, which was seized by Kiev in September, into the Lugansk People’s Republic, he noted. The general said that a similar advance was prevented in the highly contested Krasny Liman area in Donbass. In some areas, Russian troops have launched counter-offensives, according to Surovikin.
Russian and Ukrainian losses
Ukrainian troops have suffered heavy losses in their attacks in recent months, according to Surovikin. Kiev’s forces are estimated to have lost more than 12,000 soldiers in October alone, along with more than 200 tanks and 800 other armored vehicles, as well as 18 combat planes. The general said that Russian losses were “seven to eight times lower.” Between August and October, Ukrainian attacks in Kherson Region alone cost Kiev more than 9,500 casualties, Surovikin said.
Relocation of civilians from Kherson
Russian forces have helped all civilians willing to leave the city of Kherson to relocate to the left bank of the Dnieper, the general said. More than 115,000 people had moved out of the city in recent weeks, he told Shoigu. “We have done everything possible to ensure their safety,” Surovikin said, adding that some civilians had moved to Crimea.
Situation on the frontlines
Russian troops have managed to “stabilize” the situation on the frontlines despite the continued Ukrainian attacks, Surovikin said. The general also stated that the partial mobilization carried out in Russia between late September and early November allowed Russian forces to build up reserves and greatly enhance combat capabilities. Troops that will be pulled out from the right bank of the Dnieper could also be sent to support offensive operations in other parts of the front, he added.
