Trump to order significant troop cuts in Afghanistan and Iraq

/in , , /by

This is long overdue and is simple common sense: are we going to stay in Afghanistan and Iraq forever? McConnell and McCaul are completely out of touch. It is not the responsibility of the United States to ensure that other nations have good governments. It is the responsibility of the United States to defend itself from foreign threats. We can do that without having troops on the ground in Afghanistan or Iraq.

Rep. Michael McCaul, Republican leader on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said of the plans for Afghanistan, “We need to ensure a residual force is maintained for the foreseeable future to protect U.S. national and homeland security interests and to help secure peace for Afghanistan.”

“AP sources: Trump to order troop cuts in Afghanistan, Iraq,” by Lolita C. Baldor, Associated Press, November 16, 2020:

President Donald Trump is expected to cut a significant number of U.S. troops in Afghanistan and a smaller number in Iraq by the final days of his presidency, U.S. officials said Monday. The plan would run counter to military commanders’ advice over the past year, while still falling short of Trump’s much-touted goal to end America’s long wars.

The decision comes just days after Trump installed a new slate of loyalists in top Pentagon positions who share his frustration with the continued troop presence in the war zones. But the expected plans would leave 2,500 troops in both Iraq and Afghanistan, meaning that President-elect Joe Biden would be the fourth president to grapple with the still-smoldering conflicts launched in the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

U.S. officials said military leaders were told over the weekend about the planned withdrawals and that an executive order is in the works but has not yet been delivered to commanders. Officials cautioned that there could always be changes, and Trump is known to make snap decisions based on media reports and online chatter. Officials spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations.

There are 4,500 to 5,000 troops in Afghanistan and more than 3,000 in Iraq.

As news broke about the plan, Republican leaders on Capitol Hill issued stark warnings about making any hasty exit from Afghanistan that could jeopardize the peace process and undermine counterterrorism efforts.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said the Trump administration has made tremendous headway against terrorist threats, but warned against a potentially “humiliating” pullout from Afghanistan that he said would be worse than President Barack Obama’s 2011 withdrawal from Iraq and reminiscent of the U.S. departure from Saigon in 1975.

Rep. Michael McCaul, Republican leader on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said of the plans for Afghanistan, “We need to ensure a residual force is maintained for the foreseeable future to protect U.S. national and homeland security interests and to help secure peace for Afghanistan.”

US Household Incomes Increased More in 2018 Than in the Previous 20 Years—Combined

/in , , , /by

For years, a school of economists has complained that US wages have been virtually stagnant for decades.

“Jobs are coming back, but pay isn’t. The median wage is still below where it was before the Great Recession,” former Labor Secretary Robert Reich said in 2015. “Last month, average pay actually fell.”

In fact, it’s not hard to find data showing that wages have barely increased since the 1970s, a figure many have used to stoke classy envy.

The truth is, there have always been problems with the claim that real wages (adjusted for inflation) have been stagnant for years. As economist Don Boudreaux has pointed out (see below), Reich and others overlook several important factors—including how inflation is calculated, compensation outside of wages such as healthcare, and the distinction between individuals and statistics.

The stagnant wage narrative was always mostly wrong. Federal Reserve data (which uses a chain-weighted price index) shows US hourly earnings have seen impressive growth in recent years.

Nevertheless, if one does choose to use Bureau of Labor Statistics data to measure family incomes over the last two decades, the picture is indeed a bit bleaker—at least it was.

Government statistics, which use the Consumer Price Index to measure inflation, show that from 2002 through 2015 median weekly earnings didn’t budge at all, but surged between 2018 and 2020.

I’m not the first person to notice this stunning wage growth. Writing in Bloomberg, economist Karl W. Smith describes the growth in income using a slightly different metric, real median household income.

“In 2016, real median household income was $62,898, just $257 above its level in 1999,” writes Smith. “Over the next three years it grew almost $6,000, to $68,703.”

Indeed, median household incomes increased from $64,300 to $68,700 in 2018 alone—an increase of $4,400. To put it another way, US incomes increased more in 2018 than the previous 20 years combined. (Household incomes were $61,100 in 1998 and $64,300 at the end of 2017.)

The question, of course, is why did US incomes suddenly explode after decades of tepid growth? The answer is not difficult to find.

The year 2017 saw massive deregulation and passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA). Estimates placed the deregulation savings at $2 trillion. But what was likely even a bigger factor was the cut businesses saw in corporate taxes.

Prior to 2017, the US had the highest corporate tax in the developed world (if not the whole world). With a top bracket of 35 percent, its corporate tax rate was higher than Communist China and socialist Venezuela.

This was a terrible policy on a number of levels. For starters, the revenue-maximizing rate of a corporate tax is 15-25 percent, which means anything above that isn’t even generating more revenue, it’s simply punitive and economically harmful. (Evidence bears this out. The United Kingdom, for example, reduced its corporate tax rate and saw revenues grow.)

Second, high corporate taxes actually hurt workers more than “Big Business.” Tax experts point out that roughly 70 percent of what businesses earn in profits gets paid to workers in the form of wages and other benefits. So it’s no surprise to see that studies show that workers bear between 50 and 100 percent of the brunt of corporate income taxes.

But the reverse is also true: cutting corporate taxes leaves companies more capital to grow and invest.

“Lower corporate taxes increase rewards for improving techniques, technology, and increasing capital investments, which increase worker productivity and earnings,” writes economist Gary Galles. “They expand rewards for risk-taking and entrepreneurship in service of consumers. They reduce the substantial distortions caused by the tax. And those changes benefit others, such as workers and consumers.”

So in 2017, when the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was signed into law, companies saw their tax rate fall from 35 percent to 21 percent. Just that fast, businesses suddenly had more capital to spend to grow their business, improve productivity, and hire more workers—and few things attract workers more than higher wages.

Media scoffed at the possibility that corporate tax cuts would actually result in wage increases for US workers. But the data speaks for itself: Families saw incomes increase faster than at any time in generations.

Moreover, though median wages surged, showing the benefits were broad-based, every segment benefited from these wage gains.

“The lowest quintile increased their pay more than the upper quintile,” Americans for Tax Reform president Grover Norquist recently pointed out in a conversation with FEE’s Brad Polumbo.

To be sure, reducing the corporate tax rate wasn’t the sole factor for the surge in wages, but it was likely by far the biggest.

The surge in family incomes no doubt helped soften the impact of the economic destruction the world suffered in 2020 during the recession precipitated by economic lockdowns during the coronavirus pandemic.

Whether the wage gains continue may depend to some extent on the permanency of the corporate tax cut. Former Vice President Joe Biden, who appears poised to become the next US president, has signaled he’d restore the corporate tax to its 35 percent rate or raise it to 28 percent.

“Biden would make our business tax higher than China’s,” Norquist quipped. (He’s not wrong. China’s corporate tax rate stands at 25 percent.)

This appears unlikely to happen, however. Even if Biden’s claim was more than campaign rhetoric, it appears unlikely that he’ll have enough votes in the Senate to roll back the tax cuts.

Even more promising for US workers, Biden appears inclined to roll back Trump’s tariffs, which are basically taxes on Americans and imposed costs on businesses.

“When you put a tariff on steel, you make American cars not competitive anymore. You make everything made with steel less competitive,” Norquist observed. “We did a lot of damage to the American economy that way.”

If a Biden administration rolls back Trump’s tariffs while leaving the corporate tax rate in place, the US economy could build on the gains made prior to the arrival of the lockdowns.

That would be a winning formula for US workers, businesses, and the US economy.

Unmask America Now. Stop the Lockdowns. Enjoy Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year Day!

/in , , , , /by

The Democrat Mayor of St. Louis Lyda Krewson has ordered, starting November 17th, 2020 and in effect for four weeks, another lockdown. This lockdown’s new rules, which took effect 12:01 a.m., require:

  • Anyone over the age of 5 to wear a mask in public.
  • Bars and restaurants to no longer offer indoor dining.
  • Businesses, gyms and religious institutions to operate at no more than 25% capacity, down from 50%.
  • All gatherings to be limited to 10 or fewer people.
  • Club teams to submit plans to the county’s health department, though youth sports tied to schools can continue to play.

This is happening across America in cities, counties and states run by Democrats.

There are Democratic politicians calling for their city or state to lockdown for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Michigan’s and California’s governors have done the same. Biden and Harris have called for similar measures.

WATCH: Democrat Governor of Michigan Gretchen Whitmer presser on Thanksgiving shutdown:

This is all happening while we have a 99% recovery rate from Covid and two pharmaceutical companies are shipping out a Covid vaccine. This false idea of a “lockdown” hurts people more than the virus. Lockdowns are a willful imposition of control of citizens by Democrats. It is nothing more than a power grab using the excuse of a pandemic. It is designed to create fear and then impose tyranny.

Trump Team Looks at Cause and Elect

/in , , , , /by

They flooded downtown D.C. holding patriotic flags and signs, a mass of Americans filling the streets to show their support for the president. The media would ignore them, of course — but the sea of Million MAGA marchers, like the dozens of campaign rallies leading up to the election, would be hard to overlook. Chants of “Count every vote!” rang out — a cry echoed in courtrooms across the states, where the Trump campaign fights on. Whether his efforts will be enough to save his presidency, no one knows. But could they save an election system bogged down by doubts and questions? That, in the long run, may be just as important.

“It’s going to be that I got 74 million votes, and I lost?” an incredulous President Trump told columnist Michael Goodwin. “It’s not possible.” Not since Grover Cleveland’s reelection campaign in 1888, the Federalist confirms, “has a sitting president won more votes the second time around and still lost, which is one reason he successfully ran again four years later. To put this in perspective, Obama lost five million votes between his 2008 and 2012 elections. He is the only president to have lost voters and still won re-election.”

At the end of the day, President Trump shrugged, “I can’t tell you what’s going to happen.” But, he said, “it’s hard to come to terms [with the results] when they won’t let your poll watchers in to observe [the counting].” And that counting is especially important now, with less than 70,000 votes separating the candidates across the handful of deciding states. With concerns about the voting systems and ballot dumps swirling, it’s no wonder 70 percent of Republicans don’t believe the results have been free and fair.

Late Friday, Federal Election Commission (FEC) Chair Trey Trainor confirmed those fears, telling Americans, “I do believe that there is voter fraud taking place in these [contested areas]. Otherwise, they would allow observers to go in.” Our whole political system, he insisted, “is based upon transparency to avoid the appearance of corruption.” If the law isn’t followed, Trainor agreed, then the outcome is “illegitimate.” These allegations by the Trump campaign, Trainor said, are “very valid,” and they need to be “fully vetted” by the courts.

Meanwhile, concerns continue to swirl around Dominion Voting Systems — not just about the millions of votes the president argued had been deleted in a “glitch,” but also about the company’s ideological leanings. Reporters dug through the FEC’s financial reports and discovered 96 of the company’s staffers had donated to the Democrats’ 2020 political cause. Only four percent of Dominion employees gave to Republicans — raising plenty of eyebrows about the machines’ “malfunctions.” The storyline sounded even fishier when Rudy Giuliani pointed out that the head of the machines’ software company, Smartmatic — Peter Neffenger — is part of Biden’s transition team.

Twenty-eight states used those voting machines. “Beyond this election,” Giuliani argued, “this whole thing has to be examined as a national security matter. The governors who gave contracts to this company never bothered to do any due diligence.”

Other things, experts say, just plain don’t add up. Pollster Patrick Basham, who’s British, continues to maintain that the election was “stolen.” In a column for a U.K. newspaper, he points to Biden’s unusual numbers in certain cities. How curious, he writes, that “Biden underperformed Hillary Clinton in every major metro area around the country, save for Milwaukee, Detroit, Atlanta, and Philadelphia.” In some cases, he said, citing analyst Robert Barnes, in these “big cities in swing states run by Democrats…the vote even exceeded the number of registered voters.”

For now, conservatives are taking consolation in the biggest upsets of the year: the GOP’s incredible gains in the House. When all is said and done, Republicans could be within five seats of the majority — a far cry from the shellacking the media predicted. Fourteen races are still being certified, but on Friday, Republican Young Kim (R) managed to flip another Democratic seat in California. Judging by the GOP’s numbers in the districts that haven’t been called, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) could be looking at the smallest House majority in 100 years.

Inside the party, angry finger-pointers are everywhere. “Progressives refuse to take any responsibility,” the editors of the Wall Street Journal explain — and yet, their radical policies are almost certainly to blame. “House Democrats turned sharply leftward in the last two years as they indulged progressive priorities across the policy spectrum.” The result? Republican candidates had a field day with political ads, blasting every bit of their extreme agenda: “socialism, defunding the police, raising taxes, and eliminating oil and gas drilling.” If they didn’t know it before, Democrats know it now: Americans don’t want what the far-Left is selling. And if Pelosi and company ignore that fact, 2022 is another wake-up call in the making.

PODCAST: The After Effect of the 2020 Election

/in , , , , , /by

The gymnastics involving the recent counting of the election ballots have been disconcerting to say the least. It has caused high anxiety among Republicans, to the point of making many physically sick. Ordinarily, an American presidential election should be simple, transparent and easy to implement. Despite our technology though it has only become more complicated and prone to error and corruption. This is particularly disturbing in the age of the Internet and pocket computing. I have personally been voting since 1972 and in that short period of time, I have seen it only get worse, not better. As an old systems man, this is another area where I fail to see how computers have improved productivity.

Nonetheless, America has become the laughing stock of the free world simply by its inability to conduct a fair and transparent election. We are now faced with a scandal the likes of which we have never seen. It is bigger than the 1960 election, and bigger than the Kennedy assassination as it represents the attempted murder of a country, not just an individual, which will haunt us for years to come. Now we are embroiled in a justified legal battle which should not be taken lightly and may very well lead to a surprise ending, something we haven’t experienced in a very long time. More on this shortly.

Interestingly, I believe there are three areas affected by this nightmare of ballot counting:

1. REPUBLICANS – the outrage over the counting has united the party like I have never seen before. True, millions love their President, but the chaos ensuing from the balloting has incensed Republican voters by insulting their sense of fair play. Republicans always suspected Democrats of voting improprieties, but this latest round will not be left unchecked. This has opened the eyes of Republicans to the next two items…

2. DEMOCRATS – in the eyes of the GOP, the Democrats have gone way beyond the label of the “loyal opposition,” to the party of immoral/illegal behavior. Republicans now understand the Democrats mantra that “all is fair in love and politics,” that they will do anything, be it lie, cheat or defraud in order to win at all costs. They have seen it in the Congress, mayhem in the streets, and on the campaign trail. In the minds of Republicans, the Democrats can no longer be trusted to do anything honorable; that they represent nothing less than evil.

Even former VP Joe Biden who claims he wants to be a “unifier,” is already drawing up plans should he become president to rescind President Trump’s executive orders, such as overturning the removal of business regulations, halting the construction of the southern wall and opening the borders, rejoining the Paris Climate Treaty and World Health Organization, killing the Trump tax cuts, re-establishing Iran recognition, and appointing a commission to expand the Supreme Court. So much for “unification.”

The only agenda the former VP is interested in is the Democrats’, not America’s.

3. NEWS MEDIA – Only now are Republicans starting to understand the real power of the press. Prior to this, they thought it was only conservative extremists claiming “the sky is falling, the sky is falling.” Now they know the truth of how untrustworthy the media is, that it is all about money and serving the Democrats.

The news media calls President Trump’s charges of fraud “baseless,” even in spite of the many sworn affidavits the president’s team has produced. These media people are the same ones who fought for Al Gore’s voting rights in the 2000 election, yet balk at supporting the president’s rights. Remarkably, they see no inconsistencies in this and continue to push for Biden’s election and attack the president’s attempts to seek the truth, claiming it is nothing more than “sour grapes.”

Even Fox News has fallen from grace with Republicans who feel betrayed when the network referred to Mr. Biden as “President-Elect.” It is not up to the media to “call” the election, that is what the Electoral College is designed to do. In other words, they exceeded their authority. There is now a massive migration underway to Newsmax and OAN (One American News Network). This is significant and will hurt Fox, who is now viewed in the same vein as CNN and MSNBC. Don’t be surprised when you hear Republicans chant, “Fox sucks, Fox sucks, …” The decision by Fox to rush to “call” the election for Biden, is one of the biggest bonehead moves made by someone in the media and will cost them dearly.

Republicans are also outraged by the behavior of social-media giants Facebook and Twitter who have regularly censored Republican postings, claiming it violates fact-checkers. This is also causing an exodus from these services with people gravitating to MeWe, Parler, LinkedIn, and CODIAS (specifically intended for conservatives).

The stumbling by Fox, Facebook, and Twitter represents a golden opportunity for others who must be careful not to replicate the mistakes of their predecessors. For example, Fox let liberal commentators slip in the back door, and Facebook and Twitter censored postings. These big guns may laugh at the new guys as inconsequential, but over 70 million people voted for President Trump, are mad as hell, and are ready to move elsewhere. Such an exodus could possibly have a crippling effect on these media giants. Should the new kids on the block not learn from these mistakes, they will likely suffer the same consequences.

So, where is all this heading?

Professor Shane Vaughn, a teacher at the First Harvest Church & Biblical Foundations Institute of Waveland, Mississippi, produced a video recently which asks, “What Happens If President Trump Does NOT Concede?” In it, he reminds us of an important civics lesson involving some history and Amendment 12 of the Constitution detailing what would happen if none of the candidates garner enough votes to win the Electoral College. I have researched this and could find no flaw in his argument.

Until such time as the states can certify their voting, the Electoral College cannot declare a victor. This is why the president’s team is pushing for recounts, particularly from the swing states. The lawsuits may very well reveal voter fraud which could change the outcome in the states. Nonetheless, the investigations can take considerable time, going beyond the date Congress assigns to collect votes from the Electoral College (normally the Monday after the second Wednesday in December – December 14th). If neither candidate has sufficient electoral votes, the vote is turned over to the House of Representatives to decide.

True, the House is currently in the hands of the Democrats, but this is a STATE vote only (50 plus DC). The President would likely win under such a scenario.

This is not without precedence as it happened in 1800 (John Adams vs. Thomas Jefferson), 1824 (John Q. Adams vs. Andrew Jackson), and 1876 (Rutherford B. Hayes vs. Samuel Tilden).

Conceding defeat represents a surrender in the eyes of the Electoral College and any hopes of a recount or checking voter fraud is negated. This explains why Hillary Clinton adamantly warned former VP Biden NOT to concede defeat under any circumstance, as she was well aware of this scenario. It also explains why President Trump will not concede defeat, in spite of the urging of the news media (who is also well aware of it, and not the general public).

This election is far from over, but to make it to a House vote, the President’s team has to effectively demonstrate voter fraud occurred and articulate why recounts are necessary. Trump supporters can help in this regard by organizing demonstrations demanding a clean and transparent election.

This election is also a recognition of the ruthlessness of a determined enemy, the Swamp (Democrats, the News Media, Lobbyists, Bureaucrats, and RINOs). As an outsider, President Trump has disrupted their plans and fortunes. Bottom-line, this is the reason they want to eliminate him.

All of this means the Democrats are trapped. They can either acknowledge voter fraud, and suffer electoral losses, or take their chances in the House which they will likely lose. Either way, President Trump wins. When this happens, the Democrats will unleash hell in protest, claiming this is an unfair process (even though it is in the constitution and has been tested).

Fortunately, President Trump has no intention of going gently into that good night. He will certainly not concede the election and see it to the legal end. Thank God for having a president who is not intimidated by the Swamp.

Keep the Faith!

Gov. Whitmer Announces New Restrictions as Coronavirus Cases Surge

/in , , , /by

Michigan Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer announced new restrictions Sunday evening meant to combat the worsening coronavirus pandemic.

The restrictions, which begin Wednesday and extend through the end of November, include the closing of high schools, colleges, indoor dining, casinos, and movie theaters, Whitmer said in a press conference Sunday.

 

Michigan has recorded record amounts of virus cases in the past week, raising the state’s seven-day average of daily new cases to 6,200, resulting in spikes in hospitalizations and deaths across the state as well, the Detroit Free Press reported.

Whitmer said the state had “smashed the curve” through measures early in the pandemic, but the winter months could be more difficult.

“As hard as those first months were for our state, these next few are going to be even harder,” Whitmer said at the press conference.

Whitmer said that coronavirus models show “that if we don’t take aggressive action right now, we could soon see 1,000 deaths per week here in Michigan.”

>>> What’s the best way for America to reopen and return to business? The National Coronavirus Recovery Commission, a project of The Heritage Foundation, assembled America’s top thinkers to figure that out. So far, it has made more than 260 recommendations.  Learn more here.

Though Whitmer had relied on the Michigan’s Emergency Powers of the Governor Act of 1945 to enforce earlier coronavirus restrictions, the state’s Supreme Court ruled her actions unconstitutional in October. Whitmer had relied on the law to enforce her restrictions since the Republican-led state Legislature had refused to extend Michigan’s state of emergency in April, according to the Free Press.

Despite the 4-3 ruling, Whitmer has still been able to enforce a statewide mask mandate in crowded and indoor settings and capacities for bars and restaurants, relying on a Michigan Public Health Code, the Free Press reported.

Whitmer’s restrictions are only the latest from local and state officials across the country in an effort to curb the virus’ spread. Governors in New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, and more have adopted some type of restrictions in recent days, and Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot recently announced a citywide stay-at-home order.

The U.S. has recorded over 100,000 daily coronavirus cases every day since Election Day, with a record high 180,000 reported Saturday. The U.S. also surpassed 11 million cases over the weekend, and is approaching 250,000 virus deaths, according to a Johns Hopkins University database.

Effort to Win Georgia Senate Races by Bringing in Out-of-Staters to Vote Is Illegal

/in , , , , , /by

Celebrities and politicians urging people to visit Georgia and falsely claim residency for the sole purpose of voting in two critical U.S. Senate runoff elections Jan. 5 are advocating criminal actions and should be ashamed of themselves. This call for voter fraud should be rejected.

The Georgia runoff elections are extraordinarily important because they will determine which political party controls the U.S. Senate.

Results of the Nov. 3 election gave Republicans 50 seats in the 100-member Senate and gave Democrats 48. If Republicans win one of the Georgia seats Jan. 5, they will hold a 51-49 majority in the Senate; if the GOP wins both seats, it will hold a 52-48 majority.

But if Democrats win both Georgia races, the Senate will be split 50-50 between the two parties. Assuming that President Donald Trump’s lawsuits fail and he is replaced by Joe Biden as president Jan. 20, Kamala Harris will be vice president and can break the 50-50 tie in the Senate to give Democrats majority control of the chamber by the slimmest possible margin.

The left is actively working to undermine the integrity of our elections. Read the plan to stop them now. Learn more now >>

Multiple candidates ran for the two Senate seats representing Georgia, preventing any candidate from gaining a majority. As a result, Georgia law requires the top two candidates for each seat to face each other in runoff elections to be held Jan. 5.

It is a felony for people to visit Georgia and falsely claim to be residents just so they can vote. Millions of us have visited states on vacation or business, but that doesn’t make us residents entitled to vote there.

Georgia Code §21-2-561 states that providing false information when you are registering to vote is a felony. So is voting by an “unqualified elector” under §21-2-571. So if you register to vote when you know that your assertion of residency is false, and then you vote or even just attempt to vote Jan. 5 knowing you are not a qualified voter of the state, you have violated both of these state criminal statutes.

The punishment for this illegal activity under Georgia law is a minimum of one year and a maximum of up to 10 years in prison and as much as a $100,000 fine. Georgia obviously takes this crime very seriously.

No matter how interested nonresidents of Georgia are in that state’s crucial election, they should not listen to the ill-informed, manipulative, and reckless tweets and calls for them to break the law and pretend to be Georgia residents just so they can vote in the two Senate races.

This call for illegal voting—coming primarily from Democrats—is a basic betrayal of the democratic process. Everyone who urges or participates in this criminal activity should be ashamed of themselves and deserves to be criticized, no matter who they are and which party they favor.

Fox News reports, for example, that in a now-deleted tweet, New Yorker journalist Eric Levitz wrote: “These run-offs will decide which party controls the Senate and thus, whether we’ll have any hope for a large stimulus/climate bill. If you have the means and fervor to make a temporary move to GA, believe anyone who registers by Dec 7 can vote in these elections.”

Former Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang also tweeted that he and his wife are moving to Georgia to help the two Democratic contenders.

In the Nov. 3 election in Georgia, Republican Sen. David Perdue received 49.71% of the vote and Democratic challenger Jon Ossoff received 47.96%, forcing them into a runoff.

The other Senate race on the ballot Nov. 3 was a special election. Republican Sen. Johnny Isakson retired in 2018, before the end of his term. Republican Kelly Loeffler was appointed by Gov. Brian Kemp to fill the seat until the special election.

She and Rep. Doug Collins split the Republican vote Nov. 3; Loeffler received 25.9% and Collins got 19.95%. Democrat Raphael Warnock got the highest vote total, with 32.91%. Therefore, the two top vote-getters, Loeffler and Warnock, will be in the Jan. 5 runoff election.

Dec. 7 is the deadline to register to vote in Georgia for the Jan. 5 election for any residents of the state who have not already registered, including voters who have just moved to Georgia. But under the Georgia Election Code, §21-2-217, you have to be an actual resident of the state to vote, not just a visitor.

Georgia law says that a voter cannot be in the state “for temporary purposes only without the intention of making [Georgia] such person’s permanent place of abode.” In other words, if you head to Georgia for the primary purpose of helping the candidates in the special election with no intention of actually staying in the state and living there, you are not eligible to register or vote.

Those who think they can get around this requirement by simply lying and asserting their intention to make Georgia their permanent abode should beware. Under the law, county registrars are given the authority to consider a long list of other factors that may contradict the “applicant’s expressed intent.”

These factors include an individual’s “business pursuits, employment, income sources, residence for income tax purposes … leaseholds, sites of personal and real property owned by the applicant, motor vehicle and other personal property registration, and other such factors that registrars may reasonably deem necessary to determine” the applicant’s legal residence for voting purposes.

And it is not just registrars. Under Georgia law, §21-2-230, any registered voter can challenge the eligibility of any other registrant in his or her county or municipality. So there is an entire army of grassroots Georgia voters out there who can be, and should be, on the lookout for out-of-staters registering to vote who falsely claim to live in their neighborhoods and their communities.

The Jan. 5 Senate races in Georgia are understandably capturing national attention, and both Republicans and Democrats are mounting major efforts to win the seats. That’s how democracy is supposed to work. But having out-of-state voters visit a state for a few weeks to masquerade as Georgia residents is not a democratic exercise—it’s a crime.

Anyone who visits Georgia temporarily and falsely claims to be a resident cheats the real residents of the state—no matter which side of the political aisle they favor—by interfering in their choice of who should represent them in Congress. There’s no justification for that, no matter how passionate you are about the outcome of an election.

Vote in your own home state when elections are held—not in the home state of others.

United States European Command Conducted The Operation To Take Control of Computer Servers in Germany

/in , , , , /by

Pompeo knows. It’s why he promised a ‘smooth transition’ to the second Trump Administration.

The expert who shared the following intel worked at the State Department’s Office of Counter Terrorism (now it is the Bureau of Counter Terrorism) and spen twenty two years scripting terrorism exercises for U.S. military special operations.

Unraveling the Latest Deep State Coup

The courageous, brilliant duo of Sidney Powell and Congressman Louis Gohmert stirred up a bit of a storm in the last few days with this tweet

By: Larry Johnson, November 16, 2020:

When I saw this it did not make sense. Let me explain. I spent four years working at State Department’s Office of Counter Terrorism (now it is the Bureau of Counter Terrorism). I was one of two officers who dealt directly with the FBI in the investigation of the terrorist bombing of Pan Am 103. I learned through this experience that US law enforcement cannot operate in other countries without the permission of those countries.

I also spent 22 years scripting terrorism exercises for U.S. military special operations. My job was to replicate State Department and Embassy communications that would occur during a terrorist crisis. So, I have a lot of experience in working real world with US law enforcement, US military and our Embassies in sorting out the issues that arise when the United States wants to pursue a law enforcement or military operation in a foreign country.

The U.S. Army did not conduct a raid in Germany on either Sctyl or Dominion offices or servers. They are foreign nationals and we must operate in accordance with German law. Moreover, the U.S. Army does not have law enforcement powers with respect to such entities.

So what happened? I am reliably informed that a unit under the command of USEUCOM (i.e., United States 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 (and anyone else asking) 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 court or other judicial proceedings.

This is not the first time that a military unit attached to EUCOM has compelled a CIA computer facility to hand over evidence. A dear friend of mine (a retired DEA officer) told me about an incident where he entered a CIA facility in Frankfurt backed up by the US Army to get info the CIA was withholding (this took place in the 1980s).

I also have confirmed what Jim Hoft reported the other night–the CIA’s Gina Haspel was not informed in advance of this operation. Based on this fact, I think it is correct that action was taken in Germany on territory under U.S. control and that a CIA facility was targeted.

I also have learned that FBI Director Christopher Wray was excluded from this operation. Wray, more than Haspel, has been working aggressively to undermine and sabotage Donald Trump. This means that some other U.S. law enforcement agency (e.g., US Marshals, DEA, Secret Service, etc) had the lead in collecting the evidence.

Sidney Powell is a serious lawyer. She is not going to make a false claim. Period. She embodies honesty and integrity. Given her recent statements on Maria Bartoromo and Lou Dobbs and Eric Bolling, she clearly knows that evidence is being collected that will prove beyond reasonable doubt (i.e., the type of evidence required to obtain a criminal conviction) that the CIA had some sort of nefarious relationship with Dominion Software and that Dominion Software was being used abroad and in the United States to conduct voter fraud.

I fully expect CIA officials to argue they had no idea that Dominion was engaged in such nefarious activity. Their denial carries as much weight as the claim by Captain Louis Renault in the iconic scene in Casablanca:

Capt. Louis Renault: I am shocked, shocked that there is gambling going on in here.

Waiter: Sir here are your winnings

The coup attempt to dethrone Donald Trump continues.

VIDEO: Detroit Dominion IT Worker Describes Exactly How Poll Workers Inflated Biden Vote Tallies

/in , , , , , /by

The fraud is so systemic, so institutionalized, it must have been going on since Joe Kennedy and Sam Giancana stole the election for JFK. They’ve perfected it. Well almost.

Carnone’s testimony is here:

Detroit Dominion IT worker describes exactly how poll workers inflated Biden vote tallies (Video)

Source: The Gateway Pundit,  Citizen Free Press, November 15, 2020:

Carone was sent to Detroit, Michigan, to provide technical support for the ballot counting process. While she was there she noted poll workers repeatedly double scanning ballots to generate multiple votes from the same batch of ballot sheets. Ms. Carone also witnessed election workers filling out ballots, fraudulently signing ballots, as well as the unloading of vans in an area of the Detroit election tabulation facility she was not permitted to inspect.

More details in this lawsuit…

That has now changed.

Free 2nd Amendment Hat – Just Pay Shipping!

In video testimony, Detroit IT worker Melissa Carone, who was employed by Dominion Voting Systems as a contractor to keep an eye on ballot-counting machines, says she witnessed poll workers at the TCF Center repeatedly run the same batches of 50 ballots through counters sometimes up to eight, nine, 10 times.

What’s more, she said that while she was not allowed to touch ballots or stand directly over machines, she said only saw ballots marked for Biden during her entire 24-hour shift – not a single ballot for President Trump.

She also testified that there was no legitimate, legal oversight of the balloting process – that Democrats were essentially ‘watching’ Democrats. She also says she saw poll workers duplicating ballots while changing the votes on others, stealing results in the open.

Carone also said she reported her findings to the FBI, but at this point, there is no indication that the bureau – or the Justice Department – has done a thing to investigate.

Her revelations come amid others by Trump campaign lawyer Sidney Powell, who says she and other legal eagles working on behalf of the president have discovered substantial evidence of alleged payoffs, vote alterations, and other shenanigans related to Dominion and certain state elected officials whom she did not name.

But she also appeared on Fox Business Network with Lou Dobbs, and that interview is here:

And here’s some food for thought: If – if – widespread, open vote fraud against this president were going to take place, it makes perfect sense that it would be carried out in Democratic strongholds like Detroit, where there is a corrupt machine already in place.

Biden Transition Official Believes the First Amendment Has a ‘Design Flaw’ — His Remedy Is to Curb Free Speech

/in , , /by

Richard Stengel, according to the New York Post, “is the Biden transition ‘Team Lead’ for the US Agency for Global Media, the U.S. government media empire that includes Voice of America, the Middle East Broadcasting Networks and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty.” He is also a menace to our constitutional protections and to free society in general. If he is any indication of what is coming, we’re in for a rough four years, or longer.

Stengel wrote last year in a Washington Post op-ed that the freedom of speech must be restricted, for “all speech is not equal. And where truth cannot drive out lies, we must add new guardrails. I’m all for protecting ‘thought that we hate,’ but not speech that incites hate.”

What kind of speech “incites hate”? As far as Stengel is concerned, the answer is any speech that Muslims find offensive. He wrote: “Even the most sophisticated Arab diplomats that I dealt with did not understand why the First Amendment allows someone to burn a Koran. Why, they asked me, would you ever want to protect that?”

Well, maybe because a law forbidding criticism (including mockery) of any group establishes that group as a protected class that cannot be questioned, and that in turn would allow this group to do whatever it wanted without fear of any opposition even being allowed to articulate its case. The freedom of speech is, in sum, our foremost protection against tyranny. Without it, a tyrant can work his will without any fear of his opponents uttering even one cross word.

But instead of explaining and defending the freedom of speech, Stengel agreed with his “sophisticated Arab diplomats,” answering their query about Qur’an-burning with this: “It’s a fair question. Yes, the First Amendment protects the ‘thought that we hate,’ but it should not protect hateful speech that can cause violence by one group against another. In an age when everyone has a megaphone, that seems like a design flaw.”

Many other nations are fixing that “design flaw,” according to Stengel, and so the U.S. should also: “Since World War II, many nations have passed laws to curb the incitement of racial and religious hatred. These laws started out as protections against the kinds of anti-Semitic bigotry that gave rise to the Holocaust. We call them hate speech laws, but there’s no agreed-upon definition of what hate speech actually is. In general, hate speech is speech that attacks and insults people on the basis of race, religion, ethnic origin and sexual orientation.”

The destruction of the freedom of speech is an idea whose time has come, says Stengel. “I think it’s time to consider these statutes. The modern standard of dangerous speech comes from Brandenburg v. Ohio (1969) and holds that speech that directly incites ‘imminent lawless action’ or is likely to do so can be restricted. Domestic terrorists such as Dylann Roof and Omar Mateen and the El Paso shooter were consumers of hate speech. Speech doesn’t pull the trigger, but does anyone seriously doubt that such hateful speech creates a climate where such acts are more likely?”

Yes. I’m not in favor of the burning of any book, and I believe that people ought to read and understand the Qur’an rather than burn it. However, note that Stengel is calling for legal “guardrails” against “speech that incites hate.” If someone burns a Bible, no one cares. If someone burns a Qur’an, there are riots and death threats. So for Stengel, burning a Bible would not be “speech that incites hate,” but burning a Qur’an would be. Saying that “speech that incites hate” must be criminalized is tantamount to calling for the heckler’s veto to be enshrined in law.

Stengel’s statement that “the First Amendment protects the ‘thought that we hate,’ but it should not protect hateful speech that can cause violence by one group against another” means that if Muslims riot over burned Qur’ans, we must outlaw burning Qur’ans. That would only signal to Muslims that they can get us to bend to their will by threatening violence, and ensure that we will see many more such threats.

In Richard Stengel’s ideal world, non-Muslims are cowed into silence by Muslims who threaten to kill them if they get out of line, and by non-Muslim officials who react to the threats by giving the Muslims what they want.

Note also that Leftist and Islamic groups in the U.S. have for years insisted, with no pushback from any mainstream politician or media figure, that essentially any and all criticism of Islam, including analysis of how Islamic jihadis use the texts and teachings of Islam to justify violence and make recruits among peaceful Muslims, is “hate speech” and “speech that incites hate.” Thus Richard Stengel will silence that as well, and the global jihad will be able to advance unopposed and unimpeded.

In a year or two I might tell you “I warned you this was coming,” but by then I probably won’t be able to.

Alternative News Sources – The New Honest Mainstream

/in , , , , /by

Winston84 features a directory where every single profile we’ve included has something valuable to offer. Even those we find controversial are included for a reason – within the content they produce are ideas and facts you cannot find anywhere in the establishment media. And they have a right to be heard.

According to conservative columnist David Goldman, writing for PJ Media, Google is on the verge of completely eliminating content they find “offensive.” What may give offense? As we know, anything considered “hate speech,” as well as anything deemed “misinformation.” Expect that to include not just reasons why police are not systemically racist, or examples of alternative COVID-19 therapies, or corruption in the Biden family, or video and testimonial evidence of election fraud. No, expect far broader classifications of “offensive” material.

Imminent, for example, is complete suppression of anything that questions the “climate crisis.” The only reason that hasn’t happened already is because, at least during 2020, it wasn’t useful. The race riots supposedly triggered by the death of George Floyd, plus the COVID-19 pandemic, provided ample crises with which to remake and reset society (including elections). But the “climate crisis” will take banishment of “misinformation” to the next level.

Censorship over the past four years has been expanding logarithmically. In the last few weeks prior to the election it became blatant and brazen; its practitioners became indifferent to exposure. And everyone is in on it – the press, the establishment media, big tech, and powerful factions within the federal government and the intelligence community. The First Amendment hangs by a thread.

So to dig deep, really deep, browse through the many content providers on Winston. To just get reliable daily news, consider these six sources; they are as honest as we’re going to find:

Live online video feeds can be found on the website links for NewsMax, One America News, and The National Pulse. NewsMax and One America can also be found on cable television channels across the U.S.

For an anthology of links, updated daily, along with original reporting, don’t miss a visit to Revolver News.

Investigative reporting of unparalleled depth and honesty can be found at The Epoch Times.

And investigative videos exposing, day after day, the activities of BLM and Antifa can be found thanks to one of the last courageous journalists in America, Andy Ngo.

The Fascist Putsch in America

/in , , , /by

Michael Moore urges Biden to embrace the far-left. If you know who Michael Moore is, you’ll grasp the essence of the Biden campaign’s political core. Language greatly matters in politics, and in the case of the Radical Left, its real name—Socialist Charlatans. Writing about Russia and her Intel for decades, I‘ve listed the participants in the KGB army in America. Michael Moore is a main contributor to the KGB army—a true Socialist Charlatan. This army of traitors, the current anti-Trump forces, are now concocting a Socialist Revolution in America. They have a single goal to transform American Capitalism to the same Socialism that collapsed in the 1991 Russia. Knowledge of all of them is a must to save the American Republic.

The KGB’s Army: The Force of Evil in America

To grasp my idea, you have to know at least two elements of reality: the power of the KGB and the status quo of Russia. Using the term KGB, I mean the entire Russian Intel—it is a collective image–those three letters are familiar to the vast majority of Americans. Living half of my life in Russia, I learned their tactics and the KGB modus operandi. In my books and columns I shared my knowledge with you and showed how the KGB’s army was infiltrating, polluting, and corrupting the American spirit, Governmental System, and Democratic Institutions. Recognizing those individuals, I don’t call them “spies,” they are more than “spies” on the sidelines collecting info, they are the doers in the midst of the country, corrupting minds, souls and spirit of America. I give the names of some, but there are thousands of them subverting our country and our way of life. Read here The Death of the American Republic –The American Spirit is Next, November, 11, 2020.

Seventy years ago Nikita Khrushchev warned you: “Your children will live under Communism.” America didn’t take it seriously, allowing the KGB army to indoctrinate and brainwash thousands minds and create a Socialist mentality, presenting a cosmetic version of Socialism on our soil. The Democrat Party was most susceptible to that mind set and in that way Truman’s party was infiltrated, dissolved and converted into the party of Socialist Charlatans by the KGB. Don’t take my words, just look at the platform, policy, and projects the Dems entertain and follow. Don’t be surprised by massive fraud in the election 2020—it is Socialist modus operandi: lies, deceit, and fraud decorated by the symbols and slogans. The system of laws and check and balances designed to prevent these actions has been overridden by the corrupt American media establishment.  You saw all of that during the last five years of the anti-Trump coup—the Obama/Putin Conspiracy had been developed and turned to a Biden/Putin Fascist Putsch in 2020…  Fascism never sleeps…                    

No. 1 Enemy of America: The Democrat Party

The name of the Democrat party is itself a total fraud, the Party has nothing to do with democracy, its modus operandi: lies, cheating, and fraud. For the last three decades the forces of Socialist Charlatans working in tandem and inextricably ties with the KGB’s army have produced a result—the Biden/Harris ticket is the direct product of that. Their agenda is Putin’s agenda—destruction of the American Constitutional Republic… They call it a ‘transformation’ [Remember…words matter]. Can you imagine my feelings, watching all of that and writing about its damaging and vicious development for the last thirty-five years? I left Russia in 1980, immigrating to America, but the evil, venomous system of Soviet Fascism was spreading throughout the world, especially in South and North America, catching up with me finally in the U.S.A!

I know and love this wonderful country. There is no choice for me but to continue to educate Americans. Besides, knowing all kinds of Soviet fraud, I hoped for Trump to expose it. And I am not alone, 99% of GOP senators didn’t congratulate Biden. Some of them know the truth, some just feel the fraud. Rudy Giuliani alleged on Nov. 11, 2020 that roughly 650,000 unlawful ballots were cast in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I was writing about fraud in Pennsylvania for years, giving the cases of fraud. The example is the presidential election 2012, a fraud committed by then Governor of Pennsylvania Ed Rendell and the KGB agent Rahm Emanuel, revealed in several of my columns. Massive mail-in ballot harvesting allows dead people to vote, people without ID to vote and vote-counting software fraud, rigging the system. I know the KGB ability to hack and defraud. The army of Socialist Charlatans in concert with the KGB is “working” hard and fast to bring Biden to the presidency in 2020…

In the same fraudulent manner, the Soviet style, Biden declares himself victor despite promise to wait for ‘independently certified’ results. He is abetted by an eager, arrogant media that thinks they crown winners and losers. He is in a hurry, stealing the election from President Trump, knowing that at any minute his crime can be exposed. It is hard to list all the crimes committed by this tandem—they honor neither transparency nor truth, they matched the Soviet apparatchiks, and killed their own Senator, because he was losing the election. Watch Biden’s cabinet, you will find a few KGB agents there. Though my books and columns had been sabotaged and blocked, yet, you can find facts of the KGB crimes in America by reading What is Happening to America? The Hidden Truth of Global Destruction, XLIBRIS, 2012. If you want to learn about real Socialism go here.

Socialist Charlatans brought Chinese COVID-19 as a referendum against Trump. What a shame! They have continued defending the Chinese- criminals and, as usual, accused Trump… Obama, as a true Socialist has accused President Trump in fraudulent activities. What a Disgrace! A typical socialist play book. Do you remember Stalin’s postulate? Never admit crime committed, instead accuse the opposition in that exact crime. This is a refrain of all Dems, followers of Stalin’s methods. So, there are two types of people committing betrayals in America: those who do not like the system established by our Founding Fathers– they are currently collaborating with the KGB to destroy America, and those who haven’t a clue about the KGB, hence becoming their accomplices.

Fox News is disappointing us by their ignorance pertaining to Russia demonstrated in this tumultuous time. There are only two men in Fox News who grasped the significance of this knowledge, Tucker Carlson and Jesse Waters. Yet, the Fox administration has promoted the most ignorant one-Chris Wallace. When I see his face, I turn off the TV. A Democrat, he demonstrated his ego and arrogance, turning the first presidential debate into chaos. I have warned Fox News of their ignorance, and if they won’t educate their staff, I will call for boycotting the channel. Fox has chosen to forget the pogroms in the Dems’ states by riots, burning bibles and the American flag for expedience! Next time, wearing the black shirt, they will burn books! Knowledge of Russia and her Intel is a Must to save the American Constitutional Republic! Read here my columns on Soviet fascism–the terminology depends on your knowledge of Socialism…

The Heralds of Truth and Georgia’s War for the Senate  

The heralds of truth are the dozen Republican women elected to the House of Representative. Besides the incredible Trump achievements in the economy, cosmos, the unity of races, and the Trump/COVID-19 vaccine: these Republican women from socialist countries will be a breath of fresh air with their knowledge about the nefarious political system, unknown to the vast majority of Americans. Just watch the new tone in the House in January 2021, regardless of Pelosi’s rhetoric. Those Republican women are the messenger-couriers of the Truth, desperately needed in the U.S. House of Representatives…

It is very timely that Iowa GOP senator Charles Grassley, the chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, fired off a letter to U.S. Attorney General William Barr in which he stated, “… the actions by Hunter Biden and James Biden on behalf of CEFC, Ye Jianming, and other officers connected to CEFC, potentially make them agents of the Chinese government.” Does Hunter, James Biden’s Actions Make Them Agents Of Chinese Government? By Hank Berrien, November 12, 2020

Sen. Grassley is absolutely right. The FBI, DOJ, and our Intel have been infiltrated and corrupt for several decades. They missed or deliberately acquiesced to the long-term activities of the Biden’s family mafia-clan, collaborating with enemy’s regimes: China, Russia, and others. The crux of the matter is the ideology of the regimes. We have undisputable evidence of Hunter Biden monetary ties to China and Russia. That is one, exact Socialist/Communist long-term collaboration to investigate. This is a precise point for Georgia’s Senatorial election—ideology and the Dems’ connections to the Socialist/Communist regimes.

The Georgia senatorial race should be nationalized to expose both Dems’ candidates for what they are. Democrat Raphael Warnock is a blatant anti-Semite and racist seeking to unseat Republican Kelly Loffler in Georgia’s runoff election in January. He is even more than racist—he is an Andropov follower. It was Andropov, the KGB Chairman, anti-Semite who endorsed, validated and sponsored the Palestinian regime since the 1960s. Read online my book Socialist Lies, Chapter 25 about the propaganda of socialism within the black communities of America. Warnock was a recipient of those lies. Listening to him you will grasp his anti-American sentiments, attributes, and ideas. He should listen and learn from the real black American intellectuals and patriots Jason Whitlock and Kevin Jackson…

The second Dem fellow-traveler is quite easy to identify: he is endorsed by Soros, the Trojan Horse Bernie Sanders, both members of the KGB army for thirty years and Georgian Socialist apparatchik Stacy Abrams. John Ossoff is being supported outright by the U.S. Communist Party. He said that “climate change is a threat to our security and prosperity.” This is a typical idea of Socialist Charlatans to destroy a free market and American capitalism. In reality, the Dems’ candidates present “a threat to our security and prosperity.” Ossoff’s view on abortions will prolong the killing of millions of babies, especially in the black communities. He also refused to sign the pledge to support law enforcement. These couple of Socialist Charlatans will help the Biden/Putin fascist cartel to reverse all of Trump’s successes. Like the demented Biden, both are Putin’s puppets of a long-term Socialist propaganda machine in America, contagious like Chinese COVID-19 virus.

The harvesting of ballots is going on now in this moment in Georgia, stealing the election. “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.”  Joseph Goebbels, Reich Minister of Propaganda of Nazi Germany from 1933 to 1945.  Socialist Charlatans are very experienced in organized lying, cheating, and defrauding… never wasting time. They know that they are the criminals and to escape prison, they seek the power of the Senate. Republicans should grasp that to fight them vigorously to save the American Constitutional Republic!

I hope you understand now who had established and sponsored BLM and Antifa in America…

Biden transition official wants speech restrictions, criminalization of burning of Qur’an

I’m not in favor of the burning of any book, and I believe that people ought to read and understand the Qur’an rather than burn it. However, note that Stengel is calling for legal “guardrails” against “speech that incites hate.”

If someone burns a Bible, no one cares. If someone burns a Qur’an, there are riots and death threats. So for Stengel, burning a Bible would not be “speech that incites hate,” but burning a Qur’an would be. Saying that “speech that incites hate” must be criminalized is tantamount to calling for the heckler’s veto to be enshrined in law. Stengel says: “Yes, the First Amendment protects the ‘thought that we hate,’ but it should not protect hateful speech that can cause violence by one group against another.”

So if Muslims riot over burned Qur’ans, we must outlaw burning Qur’ans.

In a year or two I might have told you “I warned you this was coming,” but by then I probably won’t be able to.

“Joe Biden transition official wrote op-ed advocating free speech restrictions,” by Steven Nelson, New York Post, November 13, 2020:

President-elect Joe Biden’s transition team leader for US-owned media outlets wants to redefine freedom of speech and make “hate speech” a crime.

Richard Stengel is the Biden transition “Team Lead” for the US Agency for Global Media, the US government media empire that includes Voice of America, the Middle East Broadcasting Networks and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty.

Stengel, an Obama administration alumnus, wrote last year in a Washington Post op-ed that US freedom of speech was too unfettered and that changes must be considered.

He wrote: “All speech is not equal. And where truth cannot drive out lies, we must add new guardrails. I’m all for protecting ‘thought that we hate,’ but not speech that incites hate.”

Stengel offered two examples of speech that he has an issue with: Quran burning and circulation of “false narratives” by Russia during the 2016 election.

“Even the most sophisticated Arab diplomats that I dealt with did not understand why the First Amendment allows someone to burn a Koran. Why, they asked me, would you ever want to protect that?” Stengel wrote.

“It’s a fair question. Yes, the First Amendment protects the ‘thought that we hate,’ but it should not protect hateful speech that can cause violence by one group against another. In an age when everyone has a megaphone, that seems like a design flaw.”…

“Since World War II, many nations have passed laws to curb the incitement of racial and religious hatred. These laws started out as protections against the kinds of anti-Semitic bigotry that gave rise to the Holocaust. We call them hate speech laws, but there’s no agreed-upon definition of what hate speech actually is. In general, hate speech is speech that attacks and insults people on the basis of race, religion, ethnic origin and sexual orientation,” Stengel wrote.

“I think it’s time to consider these statutes. The modern standard of dangerous speech comes from Brandenburg v. Ohio (1969) and holds that speech that directly incites ‘imminent lawless action’ or is likely to do so can be restricted. Domestic terrorists such as Dylann Roof and Omar Mateen and the El Paso shooter were consumers of hate speech. Speech doesn’t pull the trigger, but does anyone seriously doubt that such hateful speech creates a climate where such acts are more likely?”…

“Don’t worry about the election, Trump’s not gonna win. I made f*cking sure of that!” – Eric Coomer, Director Product Strategy & Security, Dominion Voting Systems

Let’s look at what we now know about electronic voting machines and the 2020 election and how these impacted the voter count. As new information is uncovered we learn that the Art of the Steal is heavily driven by Dominion Voting Systems machines.

Dominion Voting Systems

We have recently focused on Dominion Voting Systems a company that provides voting machines to 22 states. According to Dun & Bradstreet:

Dominion Voting Systems isn’t a senator or a president, but it does want your vote. A manufacturer of voting systems, Dominion Voting makes specialized hardware and software used by some 600 US jurisdictions in 22 states, as well as by jurisdictions in Canada and other countries. Its flagship product line, Democracy Suite, comprises various systems used by election officials, including optical ballot scanners and vote tabulators, voter list generators, election management software, and electronic ballot systems for absentee voting. In addition to its Colorado office, the company also operates offices in Toronto, Canada, New York, and California. Dominion Voting was founded by CEO John Poulos and James Hoover. [Emphasis added]

These Dominion Voting Systems machines which use a touch screen rather than a paper ballot to cast a vote. Once a vote is cast the machine prints out a ballot that has minimal information on it and a bar code. This ballot is then run through another Dominion machine and the vote is “recorded.” As we previously reported the Dominion Voting System was found to transfer Trump votes to Biden in Michigan. We also reported on a On October 26, 2020 PBS News Hour analysis of the Dominion Voting system in Georgia, a state where the 2020 election recount is being currently disputed. The PBS analysis found the Dominion Voting system seriously flawed when compared to using a traditional paper ballot.

Who is Eric Coomer and why is he so important?

Eric Coomer is important because he is the Director Product Strategy & Security, Dominion Voting Systems. His biography states:

Coomer entered the elections industry in 2005 as Chief Software Architect at Sequoia Voting Systems.  He joined Dominion in 2010 as Vice President of U.S. Engineering, overseeing development and later named Director of Product Strategy and Security to drive the creation of next generation products, while focused on the changing landscape of cybersecurity threats and responses. Eric graduated from the University of California, Berkeley with a Ph.D. in Nuclear Physics.

Eric has been an active participant in the development of the IEEE common data format for election systems, as well as the working group for developing standards for Risk-Limiting Audits for election results. When not designing new products, Eric supports large and small-scale customers during Election season. [Emphasis added]

According his social media posts, which have now been scrubbed, Coomer literally hates President Donald J. Trump. Coomer has been on conference calls with members of Antifa. Conner has published hateful remarks on his social media sites about those who disagree with him.

Dr. Eric Coomer VP at Dominion admits they don’t update software to protect against voter fraud.

WATCH:

Finally, during the past two days anything and everything about Eric Coomer has been scrubbed from Twitter, Facebook and Google.

Michele Malkin interviewed Joe Oltmann from FECUnited.com. During the interview Oltmann exposes who Eric Coomer is in great detail. Joe Oltmann is the CEO PIN Business Network, headquartered in Denver, Colorado. Dominion Voting Systems is also headquartered in Denver.

WATCH:

Oltmann explained that “Eric” was telling the Antifa members they needed to “keep up the pressure.” When Oltmann asked, “Who’s Eric?” someone answered, “Eric, he’s the Dominion guy.” Oltmann said that as the conversation continued, someone asked, “What are we gonna do if F*cking Trump wins?” Oltmann paraphrased how Eric (the Dominion guy) responded, “Don’t worry about the election, Trump’s not gonna win. I made f*cking sure of that!””

“Oltmann began digging into Eric Coomer, trying to find anything he could about him. Oltmann finally hit gold when he was able to (legally) access what he claims is Dominion VP, Eric Coomer’s Facebook page. What he found was stunning. Joe Oltmann said he never saw such hate and vitriol coming from someone who has a Ph.D. in Nuclear Physics. Oltmann explained to Malkin that Coomer actually re-posted the Antifa manifesto to President Trump on his Facebook page.”

We now know that:

  1. Dominion Voting Systems played a major role in counting the votes across America.
  2. There have been proven cases where Dominion Voting Systems machines have switched votes intended for President Trump to Biden.
  3. One of the key leaders of Dominion Voting Systems Eric Coomer hates President Trump, based upon his public statements on social media.
  4. We know that Eric Coomer is connected to Antifa.
  5. Social media is doing everything it can to scrub anything about Eric Coomer from its platforms.
  6. Eric Coomer was the Chief Software Architect at Chief Software Architect at Sequoia Voting Systems.
  7. Coomer is listed as an Inventor on 12 patents registered to Dominion.
  8. Data on millions of American voters from Dominion Voting Systems is on Scytl servers located in Frankfurt, Germany.

It gets worse. Our votes are on a server in Germany!

QUESTION: Why is all the personal data on millions of American voters on a server in Frankfurt, Germany?

According to The Gateway Pundit:

The US government, once they determined that this Dominion server was involved in switching votes, then the intelligence community began a search for the server and discovered that the server was in Germany. In order to get access to that server and have it available for use in a legal manner they had to have the State Department work in tandem with the Department of Justice. They had to request that the government of Germany cooperate in allowing this seizure of this server. The appropriate documents required to affect that kind of seizure were put in place, signed off on, and it appears there was also US military support in this operation. The US military was not in the lead. But this helps explain why Esper was fired and Miller and Kash Patel were put in place — so that the military would not interfere with the operation in any way.

By getting ahold of the server they now are going to have the direct evidence of when they were instructed to stop counting. They will also discover who gave the direction to stop counting and who initiated the algorithm that started switching votes. The CIA was completely excluded from this operation.

WATCH: Congressman Louie Gohmert on Dominion Voting Systems servers seized in Frankfurt, Germany.

Andrea Widburg in an American Thinker article titled It’s possible that 2020’s election fraud is way bigger than we thought reported:

Scytl is a Barcelona-based company that provides electronic voting systems worldwide, many of which have proven vulnerable to electronic manipulation.  Scytl has (or had) Soros and Democrat party connections.  Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen’s Vulcan Capital has invested $40 million in Scytl.

In 2012, Scytl acquired all the assets of SOE Software, which was then America’s largest voting machine and software vendor.  Scytl also acquired the trade name “Clarity Elections” and rebranded its American operations as “Clarity,” with a data process domain at clarityelections.com.

Everything on the Clarity site is unsecured on Amazon Web Services.  By 2018, Scytl, using the Clarity network, supported elections in more than 12 states and 900+ jurisdictions, covering 70 million voters.

Conclusion:

According 234 pages of sworn affidavits alleging election irregularities from just ONE county in Michigan:

  • EYEWITNESS saw a batch of ballots where 60% of them had the SAME signature
  • EYEWITNESS saw a batch of ballots scanned 5 times
  • EYEWITNESS saw 35 ballots counted that were NOT connected to a voter record
  • EYEWITNESS saw poll workers marking ballots with NO mark for candidates
  • VOTER said deceased son was recorded as voting TWICE
  • EYEWITNESS said provisional ballots were placed in the tabulation box
  • FAILED software that caused an error in Antrim County used in Wayne County
  • Republican challengers not readmitted but Democrats admitted
  • Republican challengers physically pushed from counting tables by officials
  • Democrats gave out packet: “Tactics to Distract Republican Challengers”
  • Republican challenges to suspect ballots ignored

The 2020 election isn’t over by a long shot. Efforts by the media, tech giants on social media and Democrats cannot stop the truth from coming out.

What impact this will have in the final outcome of the election is still unknown.

One thing is for sure. It ain’t over yet!

Dominion Voting Systems is a Canadian company that contracts with a bankrupt Spanish company, Scytl to store election data (votes) as it is reported. Scytl’s servers are located in Germany.

The US seized Scytl’s servers which may prove massive election fraud.

The Paragon Group purchased Scytl last October. Many important Democrats invested in Paragon.
