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?

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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 SERIES

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]

MISSIONS OF LIGHT SERIES

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!

MISSIONS OF LIGHT SERIES

Mission 5 — Pray/Encourage

by Aspen — ABCU|8 team

"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 cheers> of 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 cheers> Think 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:

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

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.

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.
