As a veteran marching band musician, I always enjoy tuning in to the New York City Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Increasingly, there’s been too much Broadway and celebrity singers and not enough good old fashioned marching bands. That’s what the mute button. But in all the years Macy’s has hosted the annual Thanksgiving Day Parade, this had to be the absolute worst. The first parade was held on November 27, 1924, 66 years ago, the year our mother was born. This year, there were only two marching bands (as far as I could tell): The West Point U.S. Military Band and the Gay Pride Band. Oy!! There were balloons. But no children outside to enjoy them. Unless you or a friend had an apartment on Broadway, you were out of luck. Well, it was raining in any case here in the New York City area. Why they didn’t postpone the parade when they knew that the weather would clear in two hours was beyond us. There were plenty of floats to amuse the children watching on television. And lots of boring celebrities lip-synching to unremarkable canned music. Finally, at noon, it was time for Santa’s arrival. The Rockettes provided the only traditional note to the annual parade, with an understandably shortened version of The March of the Wooden Soldiers. Then, Santa Claus arrived. Hooray! Hooray. Hooray? Instead of thousands of cheering children, there was dead silence. Santa Claus performed as directed, ho-ho-ho-ing, waving and smiling – to nobody. Who was he waving to? There was absolutely nobody there! Somebody finally got the idea to add some canned children’s laughter. But it was too late. If I were Santa Claus, I wouldn’t have sued Macy’s, but I certainly would have sued the City and State of New York for shutting down the city and preventing Santa from greeting the children. What an insult. What a humiliation. What a disappointment for the children. What a fraud. All over a disease that’s barely distinguishable from the cold or the flu. In fact, that’s what the coronavirus is – the common cold. Except China made it uncommonly cold and contagious. What’s more, they knew were making a fool of Santa Claus. They were mocking our traditional culture. They call it “Cancel Culture.” They managed to make the Thanksgiving Parade as un-parade like as possible. Next, will be Christmas. The tree might be lit at Rockefeller Center and they might pay carolers and out-of-work Broadway actors and musicians to provide the music. But there will be no one around to spread the Christmas cheer. You’ll just have to be content with watching it on television. One local television news anchorette sneered that the lockdown is going to be extended to April of next year, even though the vaccine is supposed to be available. That means some Deep State operative is holding up the works. You see, an opened Christmas might just be the salvation of those small, Capitalist businesses and the Marxists certainly don’t want that to happen. So this Christmas there will be very few stores open, much less putting Christmas displays in their windows. Only the Big Businesses will be allowed to open, those that trade with China for 80 percent or more of their merchandise. That means there will be no shoppers strolling up and down Fifth Avenue, with the final stop at Rockefeller Center for the tree lighting. Oh, that’ll make it so much safer. Yeeesss. Nod your heads like bobbleheads. The Marxists intend to relegate the holidays to the ash heap of history. If you want to see holiday shoppers on Fifth Avenue, get the 1947 classic, “It Happened on Fifth Avenue.” If you want to view a movie with true family values, get the 1946 classic, “It’s A Wonderful Life.” And if you want to see the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, get “A Miracle on 34th Street,” another 1947 classic starring Edmund Gwenn as the man in the sleigh. There are children and cheering crowds all around as he makes his way to Herald Square (named for the now-defunct New York Herald) at 34th and Broadway. Those movie-makers in post-World War II Hollywood – they really knew how to make you feel at home for Christmas without feeling locked up. You can almost smell Mary’s Christmas turkey in the oven. George Bailey, after finding himself restored, bounds down the main street not of New York City but the fictional Bedford Falls, somewhere in central New York State. So unaware of the location were the writers and actors then when Violet Bicke tells George she’s moving to the City, he says, “Do you know what things cost up there?” Perhaps he was referring to Buffalo or Rochester. Do you know how much snow they get up there in Rochester, Violet? Nevertheless, not only is New York City pricey, but it definitely lives up to its reputation of being mean, cold and ruthless. Even if people were strolling down Fifth Avenue and you shouted “Merry Christmas!” to them, they’d call the police and have you arrested. But first, they’d beat you up. My sister-in-law’s Thanksgiving dinner was perfect, just as I expected it to be. She offered a bounty of food. We were just one number under the limit. My only complaint would have been that we forgot to thank God for the food. And a law enforcement department that refused to enforce any sort of ban on visitors in a home.
Oh, The Things Wicked Tyrants Can Do Just By Using the China Flu
Tyranny has spread its darkling wings And spread the bondage that evil brings. A designer disease last winter came To democracy transform and freedom maim. Into autocratic hands it delivered Power to dictate, shut down and sever The rights of people normal lives to lead Businesses to prosper, thrive and succeed. Oh the things that wicked tyrants can do Just by using the China Flu. A new world order is a-borning Too late now for any warning. Schools shut down for in-school learning Leading to inevitable textbook burning. Students learning their lessons from home While remote eyes into privacy roam. No demonstrations, protests, caravans or marches Against the dictates of New Age Marxists. Oh the things that wicked tyrants can do Just by using the China Flu. Oh the dangers you face without a mask Even though they said ‘twas a futile task. Keep six-feet distance from all strangers And Conservative anti-Climate Change Changers. Vote early and often before Election Day But only use ballots the election can sway. No weddings, no funerals, no festive sortees No singing in church or at illegal beer parties. Oh the things that wicked tyrants can do Just by using the China Flu. Travel is now banned from one state to another Two-week quarantines are an expensive bother. On Thanksgiving Day the powers have placed ban On the collecting of large numbers of related clan. In your own home you must sit six feet away at the table. Removing your mask only your plastic utensil to ladle. No whistling, no humming, no music, no singing No prayers to God in humble Thanksgiving. Oh the things that wicked tyrants can do Just by using the China Flu. Beware of the compliance patrols this holiday season They don’t need a warrant, a rule, rhyme or reason. Defy their expert health officer regulations And you’ll be fined, unemployed and unFriended by relations. The deaths of millions will be on your head Even if the numbers are skewed by the Feds. Look not to the television news for comfort or cheer Their job is to manufacture more fear. Oh the things that wicked tyrants can do Just by using the China Flu. Television just awarded a governor an Emmy For killing your Grandma and Great Aunt Jenny. In Pennsylvania there’s no heaven and there is no beer The government is the licensed seller here. In Maryland, special patrols will monitor Families that disobey the governor’s order. In California, there’s no holiday at all. On Thanksgiving weekend, you can’t even visit the mall. Oh the things that wicked tyrants can do Just by using the China Flu. The Deep State Used the Wuhan Flu to cheat, lie and steal The rightful election from the public weal. More is in store as the New Year approaches The Deep State has only begun its encroaches. Our freedom hangs on by a tinsel-thin thread Can we expose the imprint of Deep State’s boot tread? Democrats and RINOs, justices and mobs Threaten our peace and prosperity to rob. Oh the things that wicked tyrants can do Just by using the China Flu. Locked in our homes on this Thanksgiving Day Not just in thanks must we now to God pray. Evil has sprung from the ground our national will to syphon And wrapped ‘round our Constitution like a throttling python Lawless and craven, they do as they please Using power and influence unlawfully seized. Oh the things that God in Heaven can do When people for relief to the Almighty they sue.
In Defense of Defense Attorney Sidney Powell
After being sandbagged by Tucker Carlson on Fox News last week, and after she was introduced by President Trump and the head of his post-election legal team, former New York City Mayor and federal prosecutor Rudy Giuliana at a press conference last Friday, Giuliani unceremoniously booted her from the team, claiming Powell was never part of their “team,” Powell published a press release stating that she was never a paid member of the Trump Legal Team. “I understand today’s press release. I will continue to represent #WeThePeople who had their votes for Trump and other Republicans stolen by massive fraud through Dominion and Smartmatic, and we will be filing suit soon. The chips will fall where they may, and we will defend the foundations of this great Republic. #KrakenOnSteroids,” she said. In a second, more lengthy statement, Powell said she “agreed” that she is not a member of Trump’s legal team: I agree with the campaign’s statement that I am not part of the campaign’s legal team. I never signed a retainer agreement or sent the President or the campaign a bill for my expenses or fees. My intent has always been to expose all the fraud I could find and let the chips fall where they may–whether it be upon Republicans or Democrats. The evidence I’m compiling is overwhelming that this software tool was used to shift millions of votes from President Trump and other Republican candidates to Biden and other Democrat candidates. We are proceeding to prepare our lawsuit and plan to file it this week. It will be epic. We will not allow this great Republic to be stolen by communists from without and within or our votes altered or manipulated by foreign actors. “Chris Enroe, a reporter for The Blaze, wrote, “Confusion over Powell’s status, and the Trump campaign’s clear attempt to distance themselves from Powell, came after Republican lawmakers (our underline and italics) and Fox News host Tucker Carlson exerted pressure on Trump’s legal team to prove their voter fraud allegations. “On Sunday, even former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, a staunch Trump ally, called Trump’s legal team and their unsubstantiated claims of voter fraud a ‘national embarrassment.’” Even Chris Christie? Ask any Conservative Garden Stater about Chris Christie’s bona fides as a “Conservative” and they’ll laugh in your face. The clause in Powell’s statement – “whether it be upon Republicans or Democrats” speaks volumes about what is going on. We were right. We’ve been a fan of Powell’s ever since we read her 2014 book, “Licensed to Lie: Exposing Corruption in the Department of Justice.” It’s an appalling tale of the chicanery that goes on behind courtroom doors, in judge’s chambers, and the assistance of national and local media in swaying juries. Powell writes that federal prosecutors have unbelievable powers to intimidate defendants. Specifically, she cites the Enron scandal and the Enron. She opens the tale with the suicide of 37 year-old Nicholas Marsh, a prosecutor who had worked in the Public Integrity Section of the Criminal Division of the U.S. Department of Justice. She recounts also the death of former U.S. Senator Ted Stevens who had been found guilty a year before his death of failing to report gifts on senate forms. “It turned out that Senator Stevens was innocent, and the prosecutors from the Public Integrity Section of the Department of Justice had broken ethical rules, disregarded court orders, and violated constitutional law while they hid evidence favorable to his defense – called ‘Brady material.” The accident occurred on August 9, 2010. “The plane,” Powell notes, “was equipped with a terrain awareness warning system (TAWS) that would have visually and audibly notified the pilot to pull up if he was too close to the terrain.” An investigation discovered that that “TAWS had been ‘inhibited or disabled. There was no cockpit voice recorder or flight data recorder. Three autopsies of the pilot provided no discernable reason for the crash.” Six weeks later, Nicholas Marsh killed himself. The judge in Stevens’ case, U.S. District Judge Emmett Sullivan was furious with the prosecution’s misconduct. “When it became obvious,” Powell writes, “that Judge Sullivan was going to dismiss the indictment against Stevens, Attorney General Eric Holder swooped in, proclaimed he would clean up the department, and moved to dismiss the indictment against Stevens. “Holder’s proclamations notwithstanding, Judge Sullivan could no longer trust the Department of Justice. The elite prosecutors had lied to him time and time again, often with Deputy Assistant Attorney General Rita Glavin – Acting Attorney General Matthew Friedrich’s eyes and ears – observing in the courtroom. Jude Sullivan took the extraordinary step of appointing a special prosecutor, D.C. Attorney Henry Schuelke III, to investigate the prosecutors for possible charges including contempt. This was unprecedented.” Former Senator Stevens was an advocate for new legislation that would require the government to produce Brady information to a defendant in every case, with penalties for failure to do so. The Department of Justice, not surprisingly, strongly opposed Steven’s proposal. Stevens’ defense attorneys wrote that, “Stevens was innocent, and insisted on fighting the charges. He remained profoundly affected by the government’s misconduct and its implications for others. His fervent hope was that meaningful change would be brought to the criminal justice system so that others would not be mistreated as he was by the very officials whose duty it is to represent the United States justly and fairly.” “Licensed to Lie” is a true-story legal thriller. We encourage you to find this book and read it; you won’t be able to put it down – or keep your jaw from dropping. Powell just recently won the Michael Flynn case, although you wouldn’t know it from the Media reports. In fact, the Media has been throwing out their new favorite phrase, “Conspiracy Theory” in an attempt to discredit her, including Fox News’ Tucker Carlson. Remember that he needs “access” to big name Republicans, many of whom are RINOs. If he wants them on his show, he has to play by their rules. Funny, I never put much stock in Carlson. He tends to bend with the wind, it always seemed to me. He can get up a righteous head of steam when he wants to. But in this case, the steam is actually a combination of methane and sulfur. Glenn Beck and his Blaze team aren’t quite sure what to think. Who can blame them? We’re talking about Rudy Giuliana here, America’s mayor. Still, while he doesn’t have to answer to the GOP, his client – President Trump – does. If they say “throw Powell overboard,” that’s what they’ll do. Sidney Powell has uncovered Beck’s “Hydra.” It’s a massive, fire-breathing thing that leaves most patriots questioning themselves. Beck said there was a hydra and here it is, with only Sidney Powell publicly standing up against it and trying to take it court. She said in her statement ‘Democrats and Republicans.’ She doesn’t need to convince us here in northern New Jersey. But many people only hear the Media’s message: CONSPIRACY THEORY!! GASP!! Big Brother doubts her. I asked him if he was a lemming willing to go over the Media cliff. He still wasn’t convinced. I offered to lend him “Licensed to Lie.” He scorned it and chose Shirer’s “The Rise and fall of the Third Reich” out of my considerable library instead. He also wants to take a look at “The Real George Washington,” which is a step in the right direction; he’ll discover that Washington was, indeed, opposed to slavery and by end of the Revolutionary War, was dangerously in debt, just like Thomas Jefferson. “I want to hear and see some computer expert explain these voting machines to me – how they can corrupt it. Then, I’ll believe it!” he cried. Well, great. He can give his best friend, DB, a call. He helped create the Internet when it was part of the government. I’m sure he can explain all about South America. He lived in Panama for a while before moving back to the U.S. In fact, I wonder if he isn’t one Powell’s key witnesses. Wouldn’t that be a great joke on Big Brother? Here Sidney Powell stands like Joan of Arc before a fire-breathing, Deep State government, and now everyone thinks she’s some sort of conspiracy theory, fringe lunatic who just happens to have a law degree and served as a federal prosecutor before realizing what she was a part of and went over to defense? We doubt her because that loud-mouthed Carlson demanded evidence she wasn’t yet prepared to release to him, or anyone else, and then bashed her on his program? Undoubtedly she has witnesses and they’re probably in mortal danger. We’re talking about the same government that in 1963 covered up the JFK assassination and then labeled anyone who questioned the Warren Commission’s findings as conspiracy theorists. Even though the limousine was pointed away from the Grassy Knoll and towards the overpass? The government that for three and a half years lied to us about President Trump’s alleged “collusion” with Russia and impeached him, even though he was innocent and the Steele dossier turned out to be a put-up job paid for by Hillary Clinton’s campaign? The government that was responsible for the Benghazi disaster? Agenda 21? The Climate Change hoax? Billion dollar deals with China? Ignoring China’s military build-up in the South China Sea? The Deep State and the Media took one step too far in trying to discredit Powell. Apparently, they’ve forgotten that she wrote “Licensed to Lie.” Is that what this is about? Are they trying to avenge themselves on her for exposing the corruption in the Justice Department? Are RINOs getting worried that she’ll expose them as well in this election fraud? The High Priest of Conservatism, Tucker Carlson, has spoken and we must accept his word as gospel? Actually, the High Priest of Conservatism is Rush Limbaugh, not Carlson. Every time we’ve bothered to watch Carlson for any length of time, we’ve seen him betray Conservatism, not defend it. Sidney Powell doesn’t seem too fazed at being “dismissed” from the Republican cause. That’s because she’s seen it all before. And written about it. Take your heads out of the sand, turn off Carlson, and read Powell’s book. There’s more to this fraud than that which was committed upon President Trump (again!). This is about the integrity of our elections and what our vote is worth if we’re transformed into a corrupt, Third World dictatorship. Like Venezuela.
Trump Legal Team Throws Sidney Powell Under the Bus
The Trump Legal – and Campaign – Team announced that attorney Sidney Powell is no longer part of Trump’s legal team to file for a recount of the 2020 Presidential Election. Trump’s legal team has always maintained that they seek a recount of and an investigation into illegal ballots – those cast in the name of dead people, people who’ve voted multiple times, and illegal aliens. They’ve shied away from charges that Dominion Voting System machines and software were used to swing the election in favor of Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. (whose ancestors owned slaves). They believe they can win without ‘implicating’ Dominion and its parent company, Smartmatics, and ITS holding company is SGO Corporation, Ltd. Mark Malloch-Brown, its Chairman of the Board, is in close league with George Soros. Peter Neffenger was a member of the Board of Directors of Smartmatics and is also part of Joe Biden’s transition team. Yet, Trump’s legal team insists there’s nothing to see there. What’s more, Glenn Beck interviewed a computer tech expert, Jeff Brown, who read the manual for the Dominion election machines. Brown stated that the manual instructs the user in how to rig the election machine (!). Former Mayor Giuliani himself reported that a poll worker in Georgia signed an affidavit swearing that George purposely shut down its ballot-counting early, threw out official observers, and was order to enter stacks of ballots into the machine that had only one vote listed – for Joe Biden. Dominion, a Canadian company, is itself own by a company called Smartmatics, founded in 2000 by Antonio Mugica, Roger Pinate and Alfredo Jose Anzola, who incorporated the firm in Delaware. The three were connected politically to Venezuela’s dictator, Hugo Chavez. The computerized machines were created for the specific purpose of rigging elections by allowing anyone with the administrator password to enter the machine’s computer system and manipulate the votes, switching them, creating them and even altering the outcome of voting audit reports. Dominion volunteered to appear before the Pennsylvania State Assembly to cooperate in the investigation. But when the time came, Dominion decamped – they got out of Dodge. They closed down their offices in Denver and in Canada. Employees eliminated their profiles from LinkedIn. Sidney Powell has said that she has hundreds of affidavits from poll workers attesting to the fraudulent activity surrounding these election machines and their software. Forensic software investigators could probably track the fraud. Yet Trump’s legal team doesn’t want to go near it. Sen. Ted Cruz told Glenn Beck that he didn’t trust some attorneys on the legal team. He didn’t specific which ones, though. Was it Sidney Powell, who is an attorney in Texas? Or did he mean there are other attorneys behind the scenes, working against Trump, advising him to cashier Powell? Let’s look at one of the Dominion problems. Democrats were initially the parties most concerned about the reliability of the machines. Did that mean interference in the general elections or in the primaries? Was it Republicans who twisted the elections? Trump’s team hasn’t been known for its loyalty to him. The Republican Party certainly hasn’t been. In the 2018 Mid-Terms, 55 Congressional Republicans resigned their seats rather than serve under Trump. The result was that the election was handed over to the Democrats on a platter. They urged him to consult with the Federalist Society, well-known for its duplicity, about nominations for the Supreme Court of the United States, misrepresenting the justices’ political leanings. We here in Northern New Jersey know just how untrustworthy the Republican Party is. If citizen Republicans choose a Conservative candidate, the GOP will not support them financially. That means no ads and without ads, there’s no name recognition. Conservative voters all over the country are furious. Now that the GOP has its RINO candidates all lined up, Conservatives are expected to show up to support the Republican Party. Conservatives don’t even bother to show up in Northern New Jersey elections. Well, some of us do, but not enough. In fact, we could be the entire Republican vote, but the RINO party machine would still prevail. I refuse to give money to them. So, what if it was the RINO machine that used the Dominion machines to win the seats they needed? Our guess is that it is the GOP that doesn’t want this massive fraud investigated. If it were, we might discover not so much that the Democrats lost, but that Conservative primary candidates were undermined so that the RINO candidates would win. If the Conservatives stayed home in protest in the general election, the only way the RINOs could win was to rig the elections – and these machines would have made it all too easy. Note what Trump’s “Legal Team” says: ‘Powell hasn’t provided any evidence – that we think could win in court.’ It’s pretty hard to see the evidence if you’re looking the other way. If the evidence also implicates you as well as the other guy, you’re going to do everything you can to suppress, which includes shutting out the lead attorney who can make the case. Powell has vowed to soldier on in this fight for the American people against massive election fraud. Giuliani says that Powell was never part of their team. Yet there she was on the podium with him at the press conference on Friday. We have great respect for the former mayor. He was awesome in fighting crime in New York City. He was America’s Mayor on 9/11. But in watching his performance lately, we wonder if, at 76, he isn’t losing his edge. He seems to be finding it more difficult to focus (although that may be a problem with television technology when he’s being interviewed, that it seems like he’s hesitating when it’s actually a delay in the audio feed), finding words and finishing sentences. On the other hand, this may be pressure from the GOP and from the American Bar Association. Word is that attorneys who seek to help the President are being threatened with termination by their legal firms and we would guess disbarment and removal from the heavily Left ABA. The country – we, the people – hear all this information about Dominion, Smartmatics and Venezuela, and we’re overwhelmed. We can’t believe it. I mean, we can readily believe it, yet we can’t believe it. But the most unbelievable thing to us is that Trump’s own legal team either can’t or won’t see it. We get the distinct feeling that they’re pulling a snow-job on us when they say they can’t prove it, that proving old-fashioned fraud will be just enough to get Trump over the finish line and that they don’t need to prove anything else. What?!! What the hell is going on here?! Is this what they mean when they say justice is blind?!
Big Tech Plus Big Government Equals Big Money
Yesterday, we spoke about the World Economic Forum’s Great Reset. Of particular interest is its Partners for Change. The critical thing about Partners for Change is the bottom line: a company’s ability to take out loans. The World Economic Forum wants to do away with shareholders, private individuals investing in a company, and create “stakeholders” instead. The hook is “Climate Change.” We all know “Climate Change” is a bunch of hooey. There are two better reasons for this supposed rise in ocean levels than mere human activity: 1) an increase in building in the coastal cities; and 2) the gradual – and natural – reduction of water levels in inland lakes. As the glaciers receded during the last Ice Age in North America, the weight was lifted off the land upon which they sat. We’re talking about billions of tons of weight. As the glaciers moved back north, the ground gradually rose and the water in them began seeping off, seeking its level. All that fresh water has been emptying into the oceans over the millennia. It’s not a man-made process; it’s a natural process. The Earth has the same water level it has always had. Meanwhile, lakes and inland seas are drying up. Some of it is due to human usage. But mostly, it’s due to the “climate” which doesn’t need any help changing. Just like COVID-19, the Global Marxists have found so-called “Climate Change” – whose numbers were fudged (rather like the 2020 Election) – a useful fraud to lure companies into a stakeholder economy. Without investors, companies must rely on government banks for the money to build their businesses. If the companies will just sign on, a global government will make sure they get the greatest share of the consumer pie. A global government, rather than a free market, will choose the winners and losers, what companies remain in business and which will be forced to fold. Blue State governors, all of whom are on board with the Great Reset, saw to it that all small businesses were shut down long enough to force them into bankruptcy, leaving only online companies still in business. Further, those companies are directed to order their merchandise, supplies, capital goods and so forth from select companies in select countries, namely China and India. A new monopoly has been created in the high tech world, as Rush Limbaugh pointed out in his October Limbaugh Letter. Where we used to have the three major television networks – CBS, NBC, and ABC – we know have the Big Three Tech – Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. America is still a free-market economy, and so competition has arisen: MeWe, Parler, and Rumble, as well as an alternative search engine: Duckduckgo. Brave might seem like a good alternative, but it automatically switches over to Google Search. Parler is having some success in gaining new members. The President still signed on yet because Twitter still has the greater numbers. The two are not mutually exclusive. You can post on Twitter and you can post on Parler until enough people realize they don’t need Twitter. Getting people to switch over from Facebook to MeWe is more difficult. People initially didn’t and don’t go to Facebook to read political posts but to share family photos, chat about puppies and kittens, and trade recipes. They are not politically inclined. Yet they’re the very people we need to reach. I don’t often look at YouTube, personally. Facebook, Twitter and YouTube are private entities. They own their platforms and Freedom of the Press permits them to post what they like and censor what they don’t, just as any newspaper editor can choose not to publish your letter about election fraud or government overreach. Once it occurs to average people that they can actually sign on to both Facebook and MeWe – and you can post cute kitten pictures on MeWe; it’s not a strictly political forum, although at the moment it is, de facto. You can block anyone you don’t want to hear from, just as you do on Facebook. The point is, other members may block you, but MeWe, Parler and Rumble will not. They will not censor anyone; they leave that choice strictly up to you. Just the other day, I blocked a pesky radical who couldn’t even make an articulate argument – just childish emojis and insulting, schoolboy remarks. S’long, you pest. People take a long time to figure out that something is wrong. Look at how long it took them to realize that Fox News had gone to the Dark Side. Ten years or more! Posting cute kitten and playful puppy photos on Facebook or YouTube is okay. So is sharing recipes and pictures of your kid’s high school graduation or your anniversary party. Sooner or later, though, you have to poke your head out of the Social Media bubble and take a look at what’s going on. It’s rather like than overflowing kitchen garbage receptacle you – or your kids – have been ignoring, or the overripe lettuce in the refrigerator. Sooner or later, you have to pay attention and clean it out. And sometimes you have to replace an appliance that no longer functions. Facebook, Twitter and YouTube no longer perform their function; they no longer permit the free expression of ideas.
The Great Reset: The Takeover of the World Economy
Perhaps you’ve heard Glenn Beck talk about “The Great Reset” on his radio and television programs. If you have a good memory, you’ll remember Hillary Clinton talking about “The Great Reset” during her campaign for President in 2016. She even had a Great Reset button – a prop. There are two websites for The Great Reset. One, out of the United Kingdom, is aimed primarily at Millennials. This website advocates a Great Reset in order to prevent Climate Change. As if. Here’s what their website says: The Great Reset is a creative industry movement to embed the positive environmental shifts that have happened during lockdown as THE new normal. Our industry has power and influence but we need lots of people to choose to use it. We must grab this opportunity to help shape a society that puts mankind and our planet’s needs first. To do this we need to: • Reset ourselves to become agents of change, not just passive receivers of briefs • Reset our work so what we create promotes sustainable values, attitudes and behaviours. • Reset our impact by reevaluating what we measure and celebrate as ‘success’ The pause during lockdown created by the pandemic will result in a 7% decrease in global emissions in 2020. The UN states that we need a decrease of 7.6% every year until 2030 to avoid climate and ecological disaster. This means we need to maintain the same decrease every year as if we were living in lockdown. The challenge is that as we emerge from the pandemic the pressure to go back to ‘Business As Usual’ will intensify. But people don’t want to go back. Only 23%* of the UK public believe following lockdown, advertising should encourage people to consume, shop and fly like before lockdown. 77%* believe it is the industry’s responsibility to encourage people to behave more sustainably like during lockdown. Right now we have a small window of opportunity to reset and shape the future we want. There have been three phases to The Great Reset campaign to date, the first phase launched on the 2nd of July with the film, website and white paper. Phase 2 focused on building the community through Gatherings and securing Pledges throughout July. Phase 3 launched on the 3rd August with the creative brief with the winning creative work live in September and October. The next phase of work focuses on ‘resetting our impact’ with the development of a new effectiveness metric, ‘Ecoffectiveness’. This is the ‘missing measurement’ needed so that the advertising industry can take full responsibility for the carbon impact of its work. The open-source framework seeks to quantify emissions driven by advertising and identifies ways to maximise the ‘Return on CO2e’. The Great Reset is brought to you by Purpose Disruptors This was created through a unique collaborative process led by the Purpose Disruptors. Through a series of virtual events, volunteers coming forward and agencies dedicating time and resource over three months The Great Reset has come into being. Then, there’s the Great Reset page on the World Economic Forum’s website. The Millennial website is kind of The Great Reset, Junior. The World Economic Forum’s website (for the information of The New York Times, the URL address is https://www.weforum.org/great-reset) is quite clear about its goals and intentions: The Covid-19 crisis, and the political, economic and social disruptions it has caused, is fundamentally changing the traditional context for decision-making. The inconsistencies, inadequacies and contradictions of multiple systems –from health and financial to energy and education – are more exposed than ever amidst a global context of concern for lives, livelihoods and the planet. Leaders find themselves at a historic crossroads, managing short-term pressures against medium- and long-term uncertainties. As we enter a unique window of opportunity to shape the recovery, this initiative will offer insights to help inform all those determining the future state of global relations, the direction of national economies, the priorities of societies, the nature of business models and the management of a global commons. Drawing from the vision and vast expertise of the leaders engaged across the Forum’s communities, the Great Reset initiative has a set of dimensions to build a new social contract that honours the dignity of every human being. COVID-19 lockdowns may be gradually easing, but anxiety about the world’s social and economic prospects is only intensifying. There is good reason to worry: a sharp economic downturn has already begun, and we could be facing the worst depression since the 1930s. But, while this outcome is likely, it is not unavoidable. To achieve a better outcome, the world must act jointly and swiftly to revamp all aspects of our societies and economies, from education to social contracts and working conditions. Every country, from the United States to China, must participate, and every industry, from oil and gas to tech, must be transformed. In short, we need a “Great Reset” of capitalism. • The changes we have already seen in response to COVID-19 prove that a reset of our economic and social foundations is possible. • This is our best chance to instigate stakeholder capitalism – and here’s how it can be achieved. There are many reasons to pursue a Great Reset, but the most urgent is COVID-19. Having already led to hundreds of thousands of deaths, the pandemic represents one of the worst public-health crises in recent history. And, with casualties still mounting in many parts of the world, it is far from over. This will have serious long-term consequences for economic growth, public debt, employment, and human wellbeing. According to the Financial Times, global government debt has already reached its highest level in peacetime. Moreover, unemployment is skyrocketing in many countries: in the US, for example, one in four workers have filed for unemployment since mid-March, with new weekly claims far above historic highs. The International Monetary Fund expects the world economy to shrink by 3% this year – a downgrade of 6.3 percentage points in just four months. All of this will exacerbate the climate and social crises that were already underway. Some countries have already used the COVID-19 crisis as an excuse to weaken environmental protections and enforcement. And frustrations over social ills like rising inequality – US billionaires’ combined wealth has increased during the crisis – are intensifying. Left unaddressed, these crises, together with COVID-19, will deepen and leave the world even less sustainable, less equal, and more fragile. Incremental measures and ad hoc fixes will not suffice to prevent this scenario. We must build entirely new foundations for our economic and social systems. The level of cooperation and ambition this implies is unprecedented. But it is not some impossible dream. In fact, one silver lining of the pandemic is that it has shown how quickly we can make radical changes to our lifestyles. Almost instantly, the crisis forced businesses and individuals to abandon practices long claimed to be essential, from frequent air travel to working in an office. Likewise, populations have overwhelmingly shown a willingness to make sacrifices for the sake of health-care and other essential workers and vulnerable populations, such as the elderly. And many companies have stepped up to support their workers, customers, and local communities, in a shift toward the kind of stakeholder capitalism to which they had previously paid lip service. Clearly, the will to build a better society does exist. We must use it to secure the Great Reset that we so badly need. That will require stronger and more effective governments, though this does not imply an ideological push for bigger ones. And it will demand private-sector engagement every step of the way. And just what is “Stakeholder Capitalism”? According to the World Economic Forum’s chief propagandist, Klaus Schwab, writing in December 2019 on Project Syndicate.com, Though the concept of “stakeholder capitalism” has been around for a half-century, it has only recently begun to gain traction against the prevailing shareholder-primacy model of profit maximization. Now, advocates of a more socially-conscious economic system must take steps to ensure that their vision takes hold for the long term. What kind of Capitalism do we want? That may be the defining question of our era. If we want to sustain our economic system for future generations, we must answer it correctly. Generally speaking, we have three models to choose from. The first is “shareholder capitalism,” embraced by most Western Corporations, which holds that a corporation’s primary goal should be to maximize its profits. The second model is “state capitalism,” which entrusts the government with setting the direction of the economy, and has risen to prominence in many emerging markets, not least China. But compared to these two options, the third has the most to recommend it. “Stakeholder capitalism,” a model which I first proposed a half century ago, positions private corporations as trustees of society and is clearly the best response to today’s social and environmental [issues]. By general definition, Stakeholder Capitalism takes into account the needs, values and cultural demands of each of the stakeholders and is critical to success, traction and maximizing returns and planetary impact. Creating a win for every stakeholder, and deconstructing the old paradigm power dynamic, is the key to Stakeholder Capitalism. So, where do we begin to list everything that’s wrong with this global view? First, Klaus himself admits that he’s been pedaling this false brand of Capitalism for fifty years, which seriously predates COVID. Secondly, China is a Communist country with serious problem with nepotism. Not only must you be a member of the Communist Party in order to run a business, but you have to know someone within the government to get all the necessary licenses. Rather like Venezuela which, before its own fall into Capitalism, was rife with nepotism. “State Capitalism” is just another name for Communism, where government runs the economy, not a free market. China runs all the banks from which businesses get their loans. What the World Economic Forum is proposing is Socialism in disguise as some form of Capitalism. The government will “partner” with you, Mister or Miz Business Owner. They’ll tell you what to make and pay you for it, and take over all the business of distribution. Or redistribution. All you have to do is fill the government’s orders. You’ll be paid handsomely – out of the citizens’ pockets – and then you can buy your expensive cars and homes. On an early Sunday morning, you can hop on the Long Island Expressway and max out the RPMs in your 16-cylinder Bugatti La Voiture Noire. Just don’t do it in the winter. The LIE is about as flat a ride as you’ll find on the East Coast. But spin out in your $18 million car and you’ll be spending an awful lot of money on its tires alone. Bugatti is playing it close to the vest on who makes the tires for this car and how much they cost. On the Veyron, a full wheel and tire set cost $150,000 nearly two years ago. But the Noire is a more expensive car. We would guess each tire costs somewhere around $50,000 apiece. Then there’s the maintenance on such a car – oil changes and so forth. But you needn’t worry. You have government clearance. Just be careful driving. We worked for an insurance company. Someone put in a claim for a Lamborghini that they wiped out on that very road on an icy day. The cost for the bumped-out tires was eye-rolling. Thanks to the China Flu, the competition for business has been wiped out completely. All those little Mom and Pop stores? Gone. Even larger chain stores like Best Buy have been cashiered by Amazon and its fleet of delivery vans. Amazon Prime now guarantees next day, or best next-day delivery. Who’s going to argue with that? They’ve also hired thousands of workers, including Little Brother. Hey, it pays to have a CDL license. Say, “Thanks, Mom!” Little Brother. Of course, Amazon is also partners with the World Economic Forum. But so is the American Heart Association and a whole alphabetical list of others who participated in “The Partners for Change Summit.” The following is just a partial list.

Below this list is a list of global sites, including: Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution; Open Forum (another Soros group); Global Shapers; Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship; Strategic Intelligence; and Global Risks. The World Economic Forum is the International Organization for Public-Private Cooperation. The Forum engages the foremost political, business, cultural and other leaders of society to shape global, regional and industry agendas. It was established in 1971 as a not-for-profit foundation and is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland. It is independent, impartial and not tied to any special interests. The Forum strives in all its efforts to demonstrate entrepreneurship in the global public interest while upholding the highest standards of governance. Moral and intellectual integrity is at the heart of everything it does. Our activities are shaped by a unique institutional culture founded on the stakeholder theory, which asserts that an organization is accountable to all parts of society. The institution carefully blends and balances the best of many kinds of organizations, from both the public and private sectors, international organizations and academic institutions. We believe that progress happens by bringing together people from all walks of life who have the drive and the influence to make positive change. The World Economic Forum is also devoted to “sustainability.” At any rate, there it is. That list – here it’s partial – is the list of “stakeholders” about which the likes of Klaus brag. If these companies sign on to the WEF’s dictates, they will be given preferential treatment in this new world economic order that they are most definitely planning. The New York Times is alarmed that Glenn Beck has been broadcasting the bad news about “The Great Reset,” even though, as he says and has said, you can read about on the Left’s own websites. Like Agenda 21, the New York Times is leading the way in a possible rebranding of this effort. They may wind up calling it something else before the general public catches on. At the moment, they’re trying to discredit Beck, even Biden and others have been using the WEF’s exact language and agenda. We, the People, are not the stakeholders. We are the guinea pigs, the lab rats, who will be forced to buy whatever the government promotes with our own tax dollars. If the government decides you will have to buy Prudential Insurance, for instance, and you want to buy Nationwide or State Farm, you’ll just be plain out of luck. This is definitely a conspiracy theory. But it’s their conspiracy, not ours.
Oh There’s No Place at Home for the Holidays
If you’re that man from Tennessee heading for Pennsylvania and that home-made pumpkin pie, or if you’re Pennsylvanians heading for the Gulf Coast, better check ahead first. Because the Marxist Democrats are planting their boots on the necks of American families and forbidding any gatherings at all, in some states, for Thanksgiving and possibly Christmas. Oh, it’s the COVID epidemic you know. Those numbers are rising and if they get to 3 percent – look out. New York’s Gov. Andrew Cuomo is quarantining people to their own homes. If you don’t live in that house, get out. If you are a family member, you must wear The Mask in your own home or the COVID police will be knocking at your door. How will they know? Well, you foolishly hooked yourselves up to Alexa and her sisters. You’ve got Zoom on your Smartphones that will show you hugging the grandkids, making kissy face with Auntie May and Uncle Jeb. Zoom will be monitoring that big family hug photo. Even if you don’t have Zoom, your still photographs will be available for all to see. The Media is making a joke of our worries about nosey neighbors calling the cops. Local sheriff’s departments in four New York counties have already informed Cuomo that they will not respond to such calls. And this new shutdown couldn’t possible have anything to do with the New York Times’ 1619 Project and its War on White People. Oh no. Don’t be ridiculous. Next to Christopher Columbus, the Pilgrims of 1620 are the most hated people in that milieu. Those terrible white colonists brought all kinds of diseases with them, decimating the aboriginal populations, according to them, while the noble savages were clean, efficient and peaceful. Yeah, well, when aboriginal villagers came down with diseases, they too were quarantined in their Quonset huts (tee pees were used out on their Western Plains), whether a family member had the particular disease or not. Whole families were wiped out in this fashion. That’s why so many of them died. I’ve been in and out of my older brother’s house a number of times – and he mine. The first time he came to my house, I told him to take the stupid mask off. I wasn’t sick. He wasn’t sick. Neither of us got sick. Younger brother is still nervous, even though he is the youngest and most health-conscious of the three of us. He insists on keeping the six-foot distance. But then he’s known more people who’ve died of this thing and he knows more about its origins, being a cave explorer and having had close encounters with bats and their dusty leavings. He’s one of the few people who could be a possible carrier or know carriers. Some wags had noted a decided drop in flu cases this Fall. Is that because there’s so little difference between them, other than the concentration of the germs? People are becoming suspicious of this prolonged shutdown of their lives and the American economy. If the Democrats have their way, we will be permanently shut down. Now that there are several effective versions of a vaccine, and numerous prophylactics (remedies) for the China Flu, people aren’t so keen to let the government tell them what to do. When only some one-one-hundredth of a percent of people have died of the Wuhan Flu, people naturally begin to ask questions. What is this shut-down really all about? Because it sure looks and sounds like a government takeover of our lives. Cuomo is going to reduce supermarket capacity to 25 customers per store. You read right: not 25 percent of capacity, but 25 people. This onerous limit will mean forcing people to stand outside in line in winter cold weather, where they will surely get sick. There will be runs again on basic necessities like toilet paper, milk, meat, and cleansers, aggravated of course by mercenary hoarding and price gouging. Lysol Laundry Sanitizer now costs a whopping $48 per bottle. Ordering people to wear masks in their own homes and banning them from having visitors during the holidays is probably the last straw. Even Big Brother has spoken eagerly about being part of the New Resistance. The Last Stand starts at the front doors of American homes. They may be sheep out in public. But try to break down their doors on Thanksgiving and interrupt their family gatherings and their holiday meals and you will have trouble. Home is sacred to Americans; it’s where government outreach stops. Even though they’re unwittingly allowing the government into their homes through their smart devices (computers, laptops, cell phones – even “smart” water meters), to actually come physically through the door is one step too far for them. We suggest that when they sit down to Thanksgiving dinner next week, that they turn off all their computerized devices. Use a regular camera to take photos. Shut off Alexa and Zoom and whatever else you’re using that allows the government in. Shut the government out, fold your hands in thanksgiving, and let God into your hearts and homes.
The Election Machine Changeling
We’ve devoted our Saturdays to binging Sci-Fi on Netflix. Not the gory, “Walking Dead” horror stuff, but great science fiction, like Star Trek. We were watching an episode from early in the second season called, “The Changeling.” The good ship Enterprise answers a distress call about a planet where the entire population has been wiped out by a mysterious entity. What they encounter is a small spacecraft about the size of an upright vacuum. This thing calls itself “Nomad,” which they discover was a 21st Century probe sent out to locate life-forms on distant worlds. After a collision with an meteor, it encounters an alien probe, also damaged, whose mission was to collect and sterilize soil samples, probably for the purpose of future colonization. The two probes meld to become a machine whose mission is to seek out imperfect life-forms and destroy them. The machine still goes by the name of Nomad and thinks Captain Kirk is its creator. When Captain Kirk convinces Nomad that itself has made numerous errors in misidentifying Captain Kirk as its creator and not correct the problem by “sterilizing” itself, the machine goes berserk. Just before it commits computerside, they beam it out into space. “Error! Error! Must sterilize!” If only the Dominion Voting Systems were that efficient. We made an error in listening to only one report that stated that the Dominion machines were being physically manipulated. Error! Error! We won’t sterilize. But we will post an apology here and provide the further information, as broadcast by Glenn Beck this morning. Beck interviewed Jeff Brown, founder of Brownstone Research. Brown is a high-tech guy. While he doesn’t have a specialty in computerized voting machines, he did read through the technical manual for the Dominion voting machines. Brown was incredulous in just how corruptible the machines were. He told Beck that the manual for the machine itself stated what a high rate of error it had, what a potential for manipulation these machines possessed. Any administrator who had the password to the machine could log in and change votes, create votes, change the initial results, and even change the audit logs and the audit results. The machine, as many have, was specifically made for corrupting elections. The machines also have internet access and could be corrupted remotely, Brown noted. Yet the Media still insists these claims about the machines are false or that there’s still no evidence of fraud, even though Democrats themselves expressed concerns about using them. The Democrats had the means, the motive, and the opportunity. Attorney Sidney Powell says she has so much proof that her team is having problems processing it all. She has sworn affidavits from poll workers. Presumably, she also has high-tech IT gurus who can examine the computer system in-depth to find the code-print of the users and what they commanded the computers to do. Brown said that election thieves could even use data cards to reprogram the machines, media cards like the ones we use to download photos to our computers. All activity leaves shadows or traces, just like footprints. Hackers know that. The one sure way (and we give away no secrets they don’t already know) is to magnetize the card. Even then, there still may be traces, which is why Hillary Clinton took a hammer to her server. And it didn’t work. There are some, like Big Brother, who still don’t think Trump can win because he did poorly in the first debate. He didn’t follow the rules. Even though he did follow them to the letter in second debate, the first impression is always the one people like Big Brother remember. He wasn’t “presidential.” What good did it ever do us to have a “presidential” president? What good did it do us with George H.W.? Bill Clinton? Obama? I seem to recall all of them taking advice from their advisors at the time and dressing down for events. People like Big Brother believe in “compromise.” Compromise with the Democrats over what? The Paris Accords? China? Israel? The economy? The economy?! Until the coronavirus came along, the economy was booming. Even I had a job. We owe an increase in our investments to Trump, not to some compromising guy in an expensive suit. We always knew that there was a divide between the blue collar workers and the white collar workers (like Big Brother, who just recently retired). He wants to see someone like himself, well-spoken, well-mannered, willing to negotiate compromises. Strange that he should have a problem with construction workers, since he was in the construction industry himself. He met Trump in a business meeting. And our mother was a blue-collar worker. A bus driver. He should remember how outraged Mom’s family was the first time she proudly pulled up in her long-distance coach. “You’re a truck driver!” Grandpa groused angrily. Her aunts said it was no job for a lady. She invited one of the aunts to climb into the bus and sit down in one of the coach seats. The aunt sat down, gingerly, but refused to touch anything, drawing inwardly in revulsion as if the seat was crawling with cockroaches. “It’s very clean,” Mom said pleadingly. “I clean it myself every morning and every night.” The U.S. Constitution contains very few admonitions about who can run for President. You have to be a native-born citizen of the United States. You have to be 35 years old or older (there’s no age limit). That’s it. That’s all the Constitution has to say about that. It doesn’t say you have to have held previous office, even if voters think that experience might be a good idea. It doesn’t say you have to have previously been a Senator, a judge, or a governor. It doesn’t say anything at all about previous occupations. Harry Truman was a haberdasher. Jimmy Carter was nuclear scientist and a peanut farmer. Voters have the right to choose him they will for President of the United States. Trump was a tough guy when we needed one. Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., whose family owned slaves, has been infamous all his life for his shady deals. If you only believe what you hear or read from mainstream sources, you’re likely to make a bad choices and shrink at invisible cockroaches while you allow the rats to run the ship. We can go back to the arbiter of all things family – Mom. She didn’t like George W. Bush. She wouldn’t have approved of Trump. She would have said that he acted and like a truck driver. And then I would have reminded her what her own father said about her bus – a bus she admitted herself that Trump willingly boarded which her own aunt shrank from in priggish bigotry.
Does Biden Hate These Smartmatic Guys?
President Trump shared a tweet today that stated, “A man named Peter Neffenger, a retired Admiral, is president, and listed on the board of directors of ‘Smartmatics,’ which created the software for Dominion. Neffenger is on the Biden transition team.” We must caution everyone that the problem with Dominion isn’t the software system, per se, but the machine itself, which can accept enormous loads of ballots. Georgia shut the election down early in order to allow election workers to stuff the machine full of Biden ballots. Whether Neffenger has ties to George Soros is unclear. But Mark Malloch-Brown, former British Deputy Prime Minister, does. Peter Neffenger is a retired Coast Guard Admiral. He served as the Administrator of the Transportation Security Administration from July 2015 to January 2017, and serves Chairman of the Board of Directors of Smartmatic, a multinational company that specializes in building and implementing electronic voting systems, which created the software for and is the parent company of Dominion Voting Systems, which was created by three lieutenants of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez’ dictatorship. Neffenger is on the Biden transition team. Mark Malloch-Brown, a citizen of the United Kingdom, became chairman of the board of directors of SGO Corporation Limited, a holding company, whose primary asset is the election technology and voting machine manufacturer, Smartmatic, in 2014. Citing Malloch-Brown’s former and present relationship with politicians in the Philippines as well as his role in Smartmatic, the IBON Foundation, a non-profit research organization based in the Philippines, criticized him as being “a foreigner who made a career out of influencing elections.” Malloch-Brown has been closely associated with billionaire speculator George Soros. Working for Refugees International, he was part of the Soros Advisory Committee on Bosnia in 1993–94, formed by Soros. He has since kept cordial relations with Soros, and rented an apartment owned by Soros while working in New York on UN assignments. While serving as United Nations Development Programme Administrator, Malloch-Brown spoke beside Soros in 2002 suggesting that the United Nations and Soros’s Open Society Institute, as well as other organizations, work together to fund humanitarian functions. Meanwhile, our brave TEA Party Patriots bravely and peacefully marched in Washington, D.C., in support of the U.S. Constitution, fair elections, and President Donald Trump. We don’t know whether the crowd was in the millions, but reports say it was very large crowd somewhere in the six figures. Then the Marxists came out and start harassing and beating up unprotected marchers returning to their hotels. We’ve seen some of the videos. The Media claims the attacks happened after dark. But it sure looks like broad daylight looking at the beatings and violence. One Black Lives Matter activist rushed up from behind and hit a woman in the head. Another marcher courageously fought back against a mob that had surrounded him. He landed quite a few blows before he was eventually knocked to the ground, presumably unconscious. According to video journalist Elijah Schaffer, talking to Glenn Beck this morning, the Washington, D.C., police did nothing to protect the peaceful marchers and when they tried to return to their hotels, the police stopped them from walking down the streets where their hotels were and, instead, herded them down streets where the mobs were waiting to attack them. We thought the Hunter Biden scandal was bad. Now we have the Dominion/Smartmatics scandal which is even worse. We can depend upon the Media to try to suppress this story as well, to cover it up and pretend there’s nothing there. Attorney Sidney Powell is determined to expose this scandal and take it all the way to the Supreme Court. The states still have the option of recounting their votes properly. But if the evidence bears out the accusation – and it seems the evidence is pretty solid – the states that allowed election fraud to occur could be sued. Meanwhile, absolutely no one – not even the Supreme Court – is holding the Sanctuary Cities and States to account. We don’t understand why Glenn Beck hasn’t interviewed Powell, since her home base is Dallas, Texas. Alan Dershowitz suggested that Trump’s team may be aiming for a House vote, putting aside the Electoral College, which Dershowitz believes they’ll fail to win, but that Biden won’t win, either. As long as neither candidate gets to 270, the vote has to go the House of Representatives, where each state gets one vote. Since there are more Red states than Blue, Dershowitz expects that Trump would win. We wonder, though, if that still doesn’t depend on the outcome of the election and how many fraudulent votes were cast? We’ll see. And incidentally, President Trump absolutely should not cooperate with Biden’s transition team and share national security information.
When a Computer “Glitch” Is More Like a Switch
Former New York City Mayor and now Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani and John Solomon, author and founder of the JustNews.com website, told Fox Business News’ Lou Dobbs that they’d found significant evidence of voter fraud through Dominion Voting Systems. Despite what the Media is claiming in posts all over the Internet and on television, Dominion is more than just a software application; the company also provides the actual vote-counting machines. Allegedly, according to Giuliani, a poll worker in Georgia signed an affidavit swearing that Georgia shut down its ballot-counting early, threw out the official observers, whereupon she was order to enter stacks of ballots that had only had one vote listed – for Joe Biden. No other candidates were entered down-ticket. The woman declares that it took her all night to feed allegedly false ballots into the machine. Solomon stated that the machines, as well, as the software, are easily corruptible and that rather than vote-switching, they’re mainly used for ballot stuffing, which would drive up the count artificially, enabling Georgia to declare that it had to shut down the vote. Meanwhile, in Detroit, Just News.com reports that Detroit contracted poll workers from a firm owned by key figures in an ex-mayor’s corruption case: When the city of Detroit needed workers to staff its election center this fall, it turned to a familiar figure in city politics: lawyer and entrepreneur William A. Phillips, whose name a few years earlier appeared often in the corruption case of disgraced and still-imprisoned ex-Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick. On Sept. 22, the city council approved a $1 million contract for Phillips’ staffing firm P.I.E. Management, LLC to hire up to 2,000 workers to work the polls and staff the ballot counting machines. “They will provide up to 2,000 employees (Detroit Residents) the ability to operate election equipment on Election Day as poll workers under the MiDeal Cooperative Agreement with the State,” the city council boasted about P.I.E. Dominion Voting Systems, which provides voting equipment and software for the city, also got fresh money that day for additional machines to count absentee ballots. A week later, Phillips’ firm was advertising for Election Day workers, offering them a handsome sum for one day’s work and some training. “Candidates must be 16 years or older,” the firm’s advertisement read. “Candidates are required to attend a 3 hour training session before the General Election. The position offers two shifts and pay-rates: 1) From 7am to 7pm at $600.00; and 2) From 10pm to 6am at $650.” For the advertised 8 or 12 hour shifts of work, the temporary employees were earning at least $50 per hour. Poll observers claimed they were kept from observing ballots as allowed by law or witnessed unusual behavior that included piercing the secrecy of some ballots and unexplained additions and rejections of votes. And one longtime city worker, Jessy Jacob, swore out an affidavit saying she witnessed widespread tampering ordered by her supervisors that impacted thousands of ballots. “On November 4, 2020, I was instructed to improperly pre-date the absentee ballots receive date that were not in the QVF as if they had been received on or before November 3, 2020,” she stated in her affidavit. “I was told to alter the information in the QVF to falsely show that the absentee ballots had been received in time to be valid. I estimate that this was done to thousands of ballots. The Media is desperately trying to slam the brakes on this story, just as they tried to suppress the Hunter Biden scandal.. When I called up JustNews.com’s story, it appeared with a big “X:” in front of it. I deleted it, of course. Democrats and Liberals are chortling now that they’ve completely smashed Fox News and built into yet another mouthpiece for their Marxist views. Big Brother and I were talking over the phone last night. He was watching his favorite show, Tucker Carlson. Even Carlson seems to have been pressed into reporting on Joe Biden, although Carlson, to his credit, ripped Biden and his possible future administration to pieces, like a dog ripping up a pillow. Still, Fox was airing footage of Biden, their new hero and Big Brother was dismayed. “Every time I see him, I want to throw up,” Big Brother said. Well, we felt that way about Clinton, too. And Obama. Obama was enough to raise my late friend’s blood pressure to dangerous levels. “I notice Biden is acting ‘presidential’ now. Why do you think that is?” he asked. Big Brother had answered his own question only a week or two early: they probably had Biden doped up on speed. “Well, stop watching, Fox!” I cried. I had changed the channel to see what he was watching. “Don’t watch Fox! I’ve been telling you for years not to watch them!” And I’d been telling my late friend the same thing. “Well, what am I going to watch?” he asked. “You can go to Fox Business News. Or Newsmax. Fox Business is still somewhat pro-Trump.” He asked what channel Newsmax was on. We have different cable companies, but it turns out Newsmax is on the same channel. I would have also sent him to One America News Network. It’s not available on my cable system (gee, I wonder why?). I could get it on livestream. But there’s a subscription fee for it. It’s $4.99 a month. I’ll have to think it over. Don’t listen to these people. At least, don’t take their word as gospel. Big Brother likes to listen to Bill O’Reilly, too, although O’Reilly has been forced off the air. I think he can still be seen on Newsmax. O’Reilly is a moderate, however, who prides himself too much on being “reasonable” and willing to listen to both sides of the question. On Glenn Beck this morning, he said he didn’t think Trump’s case would get past the courts. I tend to agree, as they’re corrupt. But he also called Trump “vindictive,” which isn’t true. Trump is a winner. He’s tough and isn’t just going to roll over for anyone. That’s why so many people legally voted for him. O’Reilly did admit that if you tossed out California, the election would have gone to Trump, even though he blames the election “loss” on the Covid virus and the shutdown. Only the shutdown, like the certification of votes, is up to the states. That’s why voters in the battleground states still have a voice and should use it to contact their representatives. If the states rule in favor of Trump, it will be Biden, not Trump, who will be contesting the election – and good luck with that, considering the overwhelming number of illicit votes, ballot-stuffing and so on. O’Reilly said that Trump’s case would never go through because judges have had contested elections in their courts forever and they generally don’t want to be bothered. And THAT is how fraud and corruption continue. The Media – including Bill O’Reilly – are not supposed to decide the elections. But they can influence them, particularly if the voters are ignorant, lazy, or just plain stupid. However, that all goes back to an on-going, unchecked corruption that leaves the voters apathetic. They’d rather Facebook about Thanksgiving than the election results. The Media tells them it’s over and they believe them. Or they want to believe, because the election process is obnoxious and contentious. Before the NFL began kneeling, voters didn’t mind watching football, and women enjoy watching screechy catfights and all-women-hate-men talk shows. But tell them that their votes have been stolen and they just shrug. O’Reilly wrote a book about the Kennedy assassination. We were all set to buy his book when he made the mistake of giving away his conclusion on Glenn Beck’s program. I wasn’t about to buy a book I knew for a fact to be wrong. Grandpa didn’t believe in an assassination conspiracy regarding JFK. “Aww, they don’t know WHAT they’re talking about!” he said, waving his arm at the television set. “That kid Oswald did it!” But Grandpa had received something in the mail that day that proved conclusively otherwise. Mom read the attached letter to him, while I looked at the rest of the “contents.” I stopped at one rather bleak page, to examine it. My mother hissed at me and I looked up. Grandpa’s mouth was open and his face was white. Until that moment, he had been vowing to return the package to the sender. “I shouldn’t look at it anymore, Mom?” I asked. She got up from where she’d been sitting next to Grandpa. “No, no. It’s all right. You can look at it. Just take into the kitchen.” I picked up the documents and she herded me towards my grandparents’ kitchen table. For years, until my grandfather’s death in 1985, we three siblings examined the report together, marveling over the “details.” After he died, we took possession of it. For a while. And then we – “lost” it. It’s no longer in our possession, but the memories are indelibly imprinted in our memories. I asked Big Brother who he was going to trust – his own eyes or someone who was probably flattered by government officials into propagating the original story? We’ll never tell what we saw. We don’t feel like going to prison. But it is a study in how much credit you can really give the Media – any media – as opposed to your own knowledge and ability to reason. We already know we can’t trust the Mainstream Media and must look to alternative sources for the truth. If those sources are compromised, then we will find others. Big Media is hindered by federal legislation and the definition of fair and balanced news reporting. The government will never question a Democrat source. But the FCC will have no qualms about yanking the license of a non-compliant (i.e., Conservative) news station. Just as the Communists infiltrated the unions in the early 20th Century to take over and ruin Capitalist businesses, so they infiltrated or bought stakes in public media companies – radio, television, cable news, book publishers, record companies. Think rock n’ roll was just an accident, a movement that sprung up out of the grass? Think again. Study what kind of music you’ve been cosseted into listening to and copying. The minute you hear a news outlet boasting, “Well, we do want to present both sides of the story…” change the channel. If you’re older, it’s a story you’ve heard since childhood. You already know the ending. Find an outlet that will really stand up for America, freedom, and the truth. Keep looking for the truth, no matter you have to go to find it.
