Month: November 2020

By J. Robert Smith

Saturday at Newsmax, General Michael Flynn said this about the Democrats perpetrating elections fraud on an unprecedented scale:

“Right now, we are at risk,” Flynn added. “This is going to place this country at risk, if we get this wrong.”

Then Flynn stated:

“This is bigger than the presidency,” Flynn said. “I’ll say this is bigger than Donald Trump. This is bigger than Vice President [Joe] Biden. This is much bigger. This is the presidency of the United States of America. It’s the Constitution of the United States of America. It’s a process we’ve had for almost 250 years.”

Need we say the franchise is indispensable to our republic?  Elections fraud isn’t new, but never in the nation’s history has this basic right been so comprehensively assaulted, so jeopardized.  The Civil War was an attempt to split the nation, not deprive Union states’ citizens of their constitutional rights.  We’re on new and very dangerous turf. 

At Twitter this past Sunday, I asked this question: “If Democrats’ massive ballot fraud is allowed to stand, why would any honest American ever vote again?”   

If the cabal that Biden fronts gets away with stealing the 2020 presidential elections in blue states — Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Nevada — and in purple states, Georgia and Arizona, what’s the message to 71 million Trump voters — and voters generally?  Your ballots don’t matter.  Democrats, the left, moneyed interests, and Deep State players will conspire to hijack future elections at will to serve their venal ends.  It’s banana republic at warp speeds.  What self-respecting, liberty-loving American would participate in such sinister charades?

If this collection of rogues was willing to fix this year’s elections, what or who prevents them from rigging the 2022 midterms?  Donald Trump, that’s who, having conquered this colossal election fraud and with the power of the presidency behind him.  

Our republic hangs on Trump campaign litigation in federal courts.  The president is backed into a corner, but fighting the odds and winning has been his story.  Trump is a man of inspired tenacity.  His inner circle — think Rudy Giuliani, Rick Grenell, Donald Jr. — are cut from the same cloth.  The fight is on, and the president will exhaust every legal avenue to thwart the destruction of free and fair elections. 

We’re facing the greatest challenge to our liberty in our nation’s history, bar none.  Domestic threats are far more treacherous than external ones.  In one sense, the stakes are so much bigger than Trump securing a second term.  But in another sense, the president’s reelection is bound up with the nation’s very survival as a free country. 

A Biden presidency would not only seal the fate of honest elections, but usher in a supremacist coalition of leftists, oligarchs, and Democrat hacks.  They’d leverage the Biden administration to the max, ramming through policies and executive orders designed to destroy the president’s good works.  As a start, mull these two words: “open borders.”   

Understand, the Biden crowd doesn’t play between the lines.  If the Biden cabal is willing to brazenly steal the presidential elections, they’d have no compunction about circumventing the system to ruthlessly press their agenda.  They’re stone-cold serious about killing America (i.e., unmooring it from the Revolution and founding principles and putting the U.S. on track to be a PRC clone).  The rule of law is merely an obstacle to go over, under, around, and through.       

A Republican Senate — which hinges on the Georgia runoffs — wouldn’t be the slam-dunk firewall that many conservatives assume.  The Senate GOP caucus has more than its share of establishment players ready to — repeat after me — “reach across the aisle to work with Democrats because that’s what Americans expect.”  Why wouldn’t we hear that saccharine mantra from Mitt Romney, Lisa Murkowski, and Susan Collins, at least?  And if the Senate is split 51-49 or even 52-48, those three loose cannons would suffice in helping Democrats upend the country. 

While Republicans will gain seats in the U.S. House, they’ll fall short of a majority.  Nancy Pelosi — or whoever the Democrats pick as speaker — will run that body with an iron fist.  Democrats just don’t work across the aisle anymore (though, as mentioned, too many Republicans are brainlessly eager to do so).  The Democrat caucus would act with sharklike focus pushing game-changing measures over to the Senate. 

Biden, in a fleeting semi-lucid moment, has reiterated that he wants to tackle “systemic racism” and “climate change” as big-ticket agenda items.  Those two items are the Democrats’ one-two punches in undoing and redoing America — an America that, if they succeeded, would be starkly less free, punitive, and made poor.  Leftism has a century-long track record making people unfree and wretched (oh, and often dead).              

Federal courts would provide a better firebreak to Democrats’ schemes.  Thankfully, President Trump has appointed 220 rock-solid jurists to the federal bench.  The U.S. Supreme Court — excluding the squirrely John Roberts — has a firm originalist majority.  But no jurist with an ounce of integrity can guarantee outcomes.  There are many factors that make up a ruling. 

Newt Gingrich, at his Gingrich 360 website, on November 6, wrote:

This [crisis] is about whether or not we as Americans are willing to look the other way while a system of elite leftwing corruption undermines our Democracy. In addition to constantly attacking the president, major elements of the political and media establishment have tried to suppress millions of Americans who share the president’s core values. Those who salute the flag, stand up for the pledge of allegiance, believe deeply in America, want jobs and opportunity for all Americans, and want the United States to be concerned first for American interests have been silenced or canceled for the last five years.

If we are going to continue to be America, every legal vote must be counted and certified, illegal votes must be tossed out, and the American people must be allowed to make their choice for President of the United States.

There’s little in the way of alternatives left to us.  The president must prevail in litigations.  Joe Biden is frail with a deteriorating mind, corrupt and compromised.  Those facts alone should drive the nation to crisis.  The Democratic Party is likewise profoundly corrupt, and its ascendant leftist faction aims to strip us of our liberties.  Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez even wants an enemies list compiled.  The endpoint?  Punishment for supporting Trump — or, translated, punishment for being a patriot. 

We’re at the momentous crossroads in the nation’s life.  It’s a time of great peril.  Will we be free or, increasingly, slave?  Any form and degree of tyranny is slavery.  How would tens of millions of patriots abide tyranny?  Not well.  So, too, are we on the cusp of conflict, with all the attendant incalculable costs?  We can hazard guesses, but the future discloses no secrets.    

Our prayers continue as we stand with the president.

The Democrats live in a fantasy world. It’s a world in which higher taxes create jobs and prosperity, a world where central control of complex systems produces efficiency, a world where groveling weakness results in international respect and peace. To those old and longstanding fantasies, they’ve added a couple of new ones: a world in which they can sow discord and division and reap acceptance and unity, and a world where the lies they tell will be trusted as the truth. 

After refusing to accept the results of the 2016 presidential election and throwing a four-year temper tantrum, they’re now calling on the county to accept the results of the 2020 presidential election and come together as a country. On top of that they want us all to regard as true the results of an election they have worked so hard to steal.

I know, there’s no evidence of widespread fraud in this election. I’ve been hearing that since the idea to send out millions of unsolicited ballots was first floated as a way to get out the vote during our pandemic. This is a great line, by the way, and one that Republicans have fallen for throughout the election season. 

In order to undermine this election, the Dems say, you have to produce evidence that legal votes were changed or that illegal votes were cast. That sounds reasonable until you realize that the evidence they seek isn’t a rational statistical analysis, but a video or a confession. Failure to produce that kind of evidence becomes irrefutable proof that no crime has been committed. On top of that, you also have to show that an organization engaged in this activity across the entire country. 

With this as the standard of proof, all evidence of individual instances of fraudulent activitycan be dismissed. “Those are merely anecdotal reports! They don’t prove widespread fraud!”

As usual, the media (including Fox News) accepts the Democrats’ premise and lays the burden of proof on the Republicans alleging fraud and, as usual, the Republicans accept that burden and try to defend their assertion that the election was stolen away from President Trump.

An election isn’t fraudulent only when a widespread conspiracy to alter the results is uncovered. An election is fraudulent when all safeguards ensuring election integrity are taken away. We don’t need video of harvesters changing votes and we don’t need to publish the organizational chart of the conspirators identifying the members of the gang and their areas of responsibility. We only have to ask a few questions, questions the Democrats must answer if they want us to accept Joe Biden as the president of the United States.

1. Before you mailed out unsolicited ballots across your county or state, did you purge your voter rolls? Can you prove that ballots were only sent to eligible voters?

2. What procedure did you use to verify the address of each voter? Can you prove that the voter to whom you mailed the ballot is the person who received it?

3. How did you verify the ballots? Can you prove that the person who filled out the ballot is the same person to whom it was mailed?

4. In states that allow ballot harvesting, what safeguards do you have in place to ensure these ballots were not altered? Can you provide a chain of custody that proves no votes were tampered with?

5. In states that do not require an ID for in-person voting, how do you ensure that the person voting is an eligible, registered voter? Can you prove that every person to whom you handed a ballot was who they said they were?

Why should anyone accept the results of an election when those responsible for the integrity of the election are not even asked these questions, let alone forced to answer them? Notice also that, by making integrity the issue instead of fraud, the burden of proof has shifted from the Republicans to the Democrats. I say the burden of proof is on the Democrats (instead of on some neutral body) for three reasons: 

First, Democrats have spent years undermining election integrity by calling voter ID requirements racist, pushing for easy registration without proof of even citizenship, and allowing ballot harvesting. 

Second, Democrats have shut down their states in response to the pandemic and then pushed for widespread, unsolicited mailing of ballots to people who they scared into staying inside. 

Third, of the eight states that will decide this election (AZ, GA, MI, MN, NV, PA, NC, and WI), six of them have Democrat Secretaries of State, an office targeted by Democratsspecifically to ensure that close elections would tip their way.

When Republicans ask these questions, we’re not refusing to accept the results of the election or resisting the peaceful transfer of power. That’s what Democrats do. Do you realize that the last two duly elected Republican presidents have been deemed illegitimate by the Democrat party? George W. Bush wasn’t voted by the people, we’re told, he was installed by the Supreme Court. President Trump’s election in 2016 wasn’t legitimate because Hillary Clinton’s campaign accused him of colluding with the Russians. How ironic that the media insisted that President Trump accept the results of this election over and over and over again but never asked a single Democrat about this even once. It’s almost like they’re both in this together.

When we ask the five questions I laid out above, what we’re really doing is ensuring that the election had integrity so that no cloud hangs over the next four years, whoever the President happens to be. We want to make sure that every vote counted is a legitimate vote, not merely a piece of paper with someone’s name on it. Once we’re provided with proof of this kind of integrity, we’ll accept the results of the election and, if necessary, support the peaceful transfer of power. We won’t riot, we won’t loot stores, we won’t burn down police stations. If the Democrats responsible cannot provide this proof, then they need to put on their big boy pants and understand that they do not have the support of the over 70 million Americans whose votes they stole. There can be no unity when there’s no trust and there can be no trust when those who have lied to us for decades now insist they’re telling the truth.

Stop looking for election fraud and start insisting on election integrity. Our rallying cry is simple: No truth, no unity.

By Jay Valentine

James Madison’s, Alexander Hamilton’s, and certainly Ben Franklin’s ghosts are laughing as their genius in founding the Electoral College is likely to be vindicated. 

We have a generation born to an age where civics is no longer taught, millions of Americans do not know the difference between a representative and a senator and too many think the Electoral College is a land grant school west of Omaha. 

They are about to get that civics lesson leftists baked out of curricula.

Trump’s legacy is the opening of the political system to millions who never voted before, minorities who for the first time broke Republican, and more women Republican representatives in Congress. 

The Deplorables may not have understood raw political power, Leftist manipulation via vote fraud conveniently covered by the media and Big Tech.  But they appear to get it now.

The Democrats way overplayed their fraud hand.  Scores of bloggers are publishing lists of the Dead Vote.  Statistical algorithms used to identify voter fraud in third world countries, applied to this vote, show massive fraud.

It is only going to get uglier every day as more people come forward with fraud testimony, photos of trucks delivering ballots, and records of software that stops in the middle of the night.

The mainstream media and Big Tech almost unanimously deliver the message that “Biden won, it is time to come together, let’s move on.”  That would have worked before, but it is not going to work now. 

It is not going to work because Donald Trump is not just a President.  As others have said, he is “our champion.”

That changes the equation to one of a “cause” rather than an election.

There is no “coming together” when it’s a cause.  Not after this kind of raw, bare fraud.  No compromise here.

That dynamic, plus Trump’s fight-it-out-every-day mentality, is pretty hard to beat.

So what’s next?

Vote fraud on the scale seen this week can hardly be quantified between today and when the Electoral College casts its vote.  Lawsuits take time, discovery is a slow.  We cannot trust our own Justice Department, the FBI,  and intelligence community who have been implicated trying to destroy the current President. 

There is legal proof and common-sense proof. 

Legal proof may take a bit but the common-sense measurement showing massive fraud is off the charts, and it is only five days after the election. There’s plenty more to come.

Biden is at 290 Electoral College votes, with the 20 from Pennsylvania looking more wobbly daily as even the Pennsylvania legislature has begun hearings.  The Supreme Court is pretty much on record that those 20 are far from in the bag.

The fights in Wisconsin, Michigan, Georgia, Arizona, Minnesota and other states go on.

Most, perhaps all, of the states in question have Republican legislatures – both houses.

Many state legislators are the farm team waiting for that shot at Congress or becoming a governor or attorney general.  They are politicians, and politicians, of any party, always have an eye on the next prize.

Then there is MAGA-nation.  71 million voters who are about to get a civics lesson that their state legislators can certify this obvious electoral fraud by certifying the current fraudulent vote or they can put in their own electors, or they can just choose to sit it out. 

But there is another the next step.

Let’s go there.  America was here before.  It was Rutherford B. Hayes against Samuel Tilden.  Nobody had enough Electoral College votes, so it went to Congress to decide.  The history of what happened is interesting.

State legislators in seven or eight key states, not the court, not the governor, choose the electors.

When the Deplorables learn that the guy next door who is a state rep, or their insurance agent who is a state senator, certifies this election fraud, do you think they might just make a call?

Republican legislatures are inhabited by many of the same craven political hacks who then move on to Congress.  They care about only one thing: getting elected.

It is rumored that archeologists tested bones of 18^th-century politicians to see exactly when and where the “courage gene” was eliminated from their genome sequence.  They believe it may not have ever existed.

State legislatures in six or seven or more states, run by Republicans, have a choice:  certify an election that was clearly fraudulent, certify a different slate of electors who will vote against the popular, but fraudulent vote, or just fail to certify.

My bet is several may choose option 3.  If even one state or two fail to certify, the election goes to Congress.

What Republican state legislator wants to see MAGA-nation pillory them with “…Jack’s vote put Joe Biden in office!”  The thousands of Trump rally attendees in Butler, Pennsylvania, acting in one voice, calling state reps and senators.  Just think of what fun it would be!

Big Media, Big Tech, Facebook, none of it matters to that anonymous state rep or state senator.  They are painfully visible to their constituents.  They see their voters daily at the grocery store, in church, at the Kiwanis Club. 

It is said that all politics is local.  It just got very local for this presidential election and there are unlikely to be many state reps or state senators who want to have 71 million MAGA-nation Deplorables targeting them.

Why not let Congress decide?  The legislator can be a hero to his or her constituents while they dodge a certain electoral bullet in the next election.

Congress gets to vote — each state, one vote.  Wyoming and California, each one vote.

Pretty fast, the new election math goes from 270, path to victory, to 26 -24, Trump wins.

UPDATE from Andrea Widburg:There’s even more cause for optimism. As I explained here, it’s not the current House of Representatives that matters, it’s the incoming House of Representatives:

Here’s how that works: under the Twentieth Amendment, congressional terms end and begin on January 3, over two weeks before the newly elected president assumes office on January 20:

The terms of the President and Vice President shall end at noon on the 20th day of January, and the terms of Senators and Representatives at noon on the 3d day of January, of the years in which such terms would have ended if this article had not been ratified; and the terms of their successors shall then begin.

G.A.H. caught that Mr. Valentine was less optimistic than he should be and explains why looking forward to the new House is so important:

It is the NEW 2021 Congress which would vote, and due to R house pickups Nov 3, the Democrats have just lost three delegations, and are on the verge of losing a fourth. The Democrats have now lost control of, and are now tied in: MN (now 4R, 4D), and MI (now 7R, 7D) and PA (now 9R, 9D). IA is presently 2R, 1D, with the fourth seat [IA CD2] now only 161 votes apart — if IA CD2 goes R, the final delegation split will be 27R, 20D, 3 Tied. If, on the other hand, IA CD2 goes D, then the final split will be 26R, 20D, 4 Tied.

I think this is very important, because when people see a headline like “26-24”, some may think there go the Republicans, trying to sneak in their ticket when the delegation split is only 26-24, just 1 state vote. . . . . but, given that the real split is 26-20 (or even 27-20, AND given that the Democrats just lost control of 3 (or 4 state if IA CD2 goes R) delegations on Nov 3, it is even more justified if the outcome of the Presidential election eventually goes to a House vote under the 12th Amendment, particularly since the American people just voted to take away 3 to 4 delegations from Democrat control.

P.S. This is also important, because in some universe it is conceivable that a 26-24 delegation with a couple of liberal RINO R delegation flips could possibly go Biden. Since it will actually be either 26-20 or 27-20, there is no way Biden could ever win the House voting by delegations under the 12th Amendment, because he actually has a 6 or 7 delegation deficit, NOT merely a 2 delegation deficit….

November 8, 2020 

1. What’s at stake?  Despite its flaws, mankind could well be God’s crowning achievement, the highest lifeform in the universe. A frightening responsibility. 
This is why Satanists (Communists) want to degrade and destroy humanity.  They hate Love, Goodness, Truth, Beauty, and Justice. They hate mankind. They hate God. They want to own everything and deprive God of his crowning achievement. If Biden succeeds, nothing will stand in their way. Mankind will enter a Dark Age from which it may never emerge.  

MORE RANDOM THOUGHTS 

2.This is our Jonestown moment. Renouncing the Creator, humanity has been inducted into a satanic cult. Not “The Peoples Temple,” but Cabalism or illuminism.  If we let Joe Biden steal the Presidency, we may as well drink the kool-aid and prepare to die.
3. Communism expands the Rothschilds’ monopoly over credit (money creation) into a monopoly over literally everything of value. Power. People. Commodities. Animals. Information. Discourse. Thought. Behavior. Its goal is to dispossess, enslave, and even exterminate humanity.  This is confirmed by Agenda 21, (the UN’s agenda for the 21st Century) which calls for an inventory of everything and demands that people give up private property.  

4. The Rothschilds and their cronies have unlimited wealth. They are bored with wealth. Now they want unlimited power. Ironically, what they really want is God, the Loving Truth, the very thing they wish to destroy. This is a psychopath.
5. People are astonished at the Demonrats’ brazen disregard for democracy and basic decency. Communists are Satanists. Satanists are dedicated to destroying civilization.Revolution” is turning reality upside down, with Satan instead of God at the pinnacle. What is natural and healthy is slandered as unnatural and sick. For example, they destroy the love between a man and a woman by pressuring women to be more masculine and men to be more feminine. What they call “progressive” is actually designed to destroy. (Satanism Explained.)  
They deny the existence of God (who is the “competition.”) They deny we have a spiritual connection to God. 

6. Jews don’t know this but Judaism as defined by Cabala is essentially satanic. It seeks to destroy civilization and replace it with an Orwellian dystopia where they control every aspect of life. The Rothschilds seek to supplant God. 
7. Communists don’t play by the rules. The end justifies the means. The essence of Satanism is breaking the rules: flouting the natural and Moral Order. 
8. Americans are being disenfranchised. If Biden is allowed to prevail, there will never be an honest election again. Americans and the world will continue to be gaslighted on a daily basis for eternity. The #scamdemic will be used as a pretext to register and control everyone, and intern all dissenters. 

9. The central bankers finagled our national credit cards and create money out of thin air. They have the Golden Goose. They have the thing everyone wants – money.  Everyone who supports the #scamdemic or Big Joe is in debt to them or literally on-the-take. 

10. The only thing that will prevent the Communists from stealing this election is the Rule of Law. What’s at stake? The Rule of Law. It must be enforced or we are lost. The Rule of Law ultimately is based on the Rule of God.

Reparations?

As global wealth grows, the wealth of productive societies expands at lightning speed. Thereby, the material luxury of modernized countries grows at a rate that would have been deemed to be science fiction a few decades ago. 

At the same time, the left-behind communities become aware of an exasperating condition. The cadence of their improvement is slow, so the gap widens that separates their attainment from that of the leading creators of progress. This is the case except for when equality through poverty is a chosen policy; the North Koreas stagnate as a matter of principle. 

The problem is that some experience only a slow rise of living standards, while other societies rise like rockets. Summing up, whilst for most of the world expectations and performance rise, there are laggards whose frustration grows. The demand that the losers be compensated expresses that sentiment.

As a rule, poverty is not caused by nature. However, its gifts to the lucky few can bankroll easy abundance. 

The observant discovers the roots of the discrepancy in wealth in man-made policies that are reflections of culture. Cultures can change, and the national character is not unalterable either. Even if bad policies can be replaced by good measures, the preferred instinctive response to the problem of backwardness tends to favor other remedies. It might be “human nature” or just a learned bad habit, to attribute shortcomings to the machinations of the agents of evil. Jews, capitalist, foreigners, heresy, and inventively imagined conspiracies are ingredients of well-selling snake medicine. These are popular, easily blamed enemies. It is simple to persuade the politically naïve that evil plotters cause the misery of decent folks that they fleece.

In most cases, secular religions arise to organize those convinced of having been robbed and artificially disadvantaged. 

Consequently, the modern era’s great “isms,” even if they point to different culprits, concur in one decisive matter. All of them, national socialism, international socialism, fascism, and “Third-Worldism” claim to struggle against the forces of malevolence that collude to impoverish and subjugate mankind. 

Once persuaded of this, it follows to the convert that the wicked must be combatted. Since the proof of the crime is the relative wealth of the impostors, this can be done by seizing their means through “nationalization” or outright looting. Those that direct this struggle are steeled by their belief that whatever battles the absolutely vile, becomes thereby a morally pure agent of redemption. Given the traits of the enemy, such a force can neither fail (“history is ours”) nor derail morally.

“History is on our side” and that the “Party/Leader is never wrong,” are cardinal features of modern mass movements. In a totalitarian manner, these intend to break with the past to bring about a “New Order.” These traits include a predatory commitment to redistribute the wealth built up in successful societies. Such an organization requires a strong leadership. It needs to convert its control of the culture into political power to create the “unity” the program presupposes.

We are living in an age in which a “guilt and atonement” culture prevails. It serves to explain missed modernization and the resulting discrepancy in the amount of well-being and rights enjoyed. The alleged victims of systemic disadvantage have become a well-organized and rewarded “profession.” Much of its power comes from lobbyists that are native to successful societies. 

This element is often described as “liberal” and it is recruited in the privileged classes that are the cultural critics of those that have created the economics of plenty. Unimpeded by borders, this educated but materially unproductive elite forms one of history’s rare international classes. (The Church and the traditional aristocracy -not Marx’ proletariat- are precursors.)

The left-liberal elite of cultural leaders is attracted to its self-generated ideals and it resents the political power of practical men. Beyond that, the ability to convert the control over ideas into political might is considerable. The sway over the media, education, and of cultural life in general, all translate into an influence that, in practical terms, amount to power. In numerous professions, recognition, careers, and even earning a living, is not possible against the will of the morally empowered. Those active in practical politics can confirm that governing against the entrenched liberal elite is difficult. It will remain so until the “deplorable” common man converts his polite silence into indignant involvement.

The governing record of abstraction-chasing intellectuals has an undistinguished score. This has not inspired a critical revision of pet projects. Here a newly popularized concept to right the wrongs of the past by remodeling the future comes to mind. It is the initially catching, idea of “reparations”. It advocates the paying of compensation for the descendants of those whose ancestors have, according to the past’s practice, suffered wrongs by the present’s standards. At the moment, the project has put slavery in America in its cross-hairs. Expect the idea’s internationalization to follow.

Reparations are an attractive concept. It keeps that status until you examine the details. As a starter, there must be a group that underachieves by the general standards of its society. To make a claim, this condition must be attributable to a past wrong imposed by identifiable groups that can afford to pay.

Several difficulties emerge upon closer examination. Generations might separate the tort from the present. This makes tenuous the relationship of the past’s victims and the persons to be compensated now. The same goes for the nexus between history’s villains and those credited to be their inheritors. What share of the reparations shall burden a person that might have immigrated, as has this writer, in the fifties? How is the benefit of an individual with a victim on the family tree to be calculated if a subsequent ancestor intermarried with the “oppressors”? Is race, or whatever is declared to be one, going to be the sole standard? The rising number of fake claims seeking advantages by claiming victim status contain a warning. Should a Black PhD, or a Spaniard who moved to Mexico and then to the US, to get something? Will members of victim groups need to contribute to repay indigenous peoples such as Aztecs or Mayas? What will be done about women in general? Can one compute and deduct the worth of the advantages extended under Affirmative Action or a promotion in the attempt to meet a quota?

Interesting are the global implications. The world is full of victims whose ancestors might have been oppressors. Can Serbs raise claims against modern-day Turkey? If so, can a demand be made in the name of tens of thousands of Italians and Magyars massacred by Serbs at the end of WW2? How about the obligations of the Mongols that have destroyed Russia and who devastated much of Europe? Do the Greeks, themselves subsequently victims, owe something to Persia? An endless list indicates that compensation might be an attractive principle for the ignorant but totally impractical in the real world of the informed.

Reparations appear to be a well-meaning but unviable tool to correct history’s consequences. Beyond the confusion regarding who should get how much and for what, the concept has a further flaw. The reparations project is a typical proposal that assumes that those who “have” owe that to the ones that “want”. In this case, justice is to take from those that do not deserve their holdings in order to advantage their deprived victims. Operating this redistribution empowers those who can bribe their supporters. This might entrench those in power, but it will hardly create a fair society. Unless prevented by the state, the plucked “haves” – except those that leave for a receptive environment – will recover as they have the skills and the right attitude. Whatever has been syphoned off will discourage economically rational behavior but it will not permanently stifle the able.

Artificially injected wealth is unlikely to create lasting benefits. This is a reason why foreign aid has not triggered self-supporting change. You know the saying “to really help, do not send us fish, give us nets”. The infusion of money triggers hedonistic consumption and not shrewd investments. Money dispersed by the sprinkler method will generate support while it lasts. A productive and prosperous society leveled at a higher standard will not be among the outcomes. Free lunches can still an appetite. They cannot fill the pantry and recruit cooks. That feature makes them into a merry prelude to famine.

Even if bad policies can be replaced by good measures, the preferred instinctive response to the problem of backwardness tends to favor other remedies. It might be “human nature” or just a learned bad habit, to attribute shortcomings to the machinations of the agents of evil. Jews, capitalist, foreigners, heresy, and inventively imagined conspiracies are ingredients of well-selling snake medicine. These are popular, easily blamed enemies. It is simple to persuade the politically naïve that evil plotters cause the misery of decent folks that they fleece.

In most cases, secular religions arise to organize those convinced of having been robbed and artificially disadvantaged. 

Consequently, the modern era’s great “isms,” even if they point to different culprits, concur in one decisive matter. All of them, national socialism, international socialism, fascism, and “Third-Worldism” claim to struggle against the forces of malevolence that collude to impoverish and subjugate mankind. 

Once persuaded of this, it follows to the convert that the wicked must be combatted. Since the proof of the crime is the relative wealth of the impostors, this can be done by seizing their means through “nationalization” or outright looting. Those that direct this struggle are steeled by their belief that whatever battles the absolutely vile, becomes thereby a morally pure agent of redemption. Given the traits of the enemy, such a force can neither fail (“history is ours”) nor derail morally.

“History is on our side” and that the “Party/Leader is never wrong,” are cardinal features of modern mass movements. In a totalitarian manner, these intend to break with the past to bring about a “New Order.” These traits include a predatory commitment to redistribute the wealth built up in successful societies. Such an organization requires a strong leadership. It needs to convert its control of the culture into political power to create the “unity” the program presupposes.

We are living in an age in which a “guilt and atonement” culture prevails. It serves to explain missed modernization and the resulting discrepancy in the amount of well-being and rights enjoyed. The alleged victims of systemic disadvantage have become a well-organized and rewarded “profession.” Much of its power comes from lobbyists that are native to successful societies. 

This element is often described as “liberal” and it is recruited in the privileged classes that are the cultural critics of those that have created the economics of plenty. Unimpeded by borders, this educated but materially unproductive elite forms one of history’s rare international classes. (The Church and the traditional aristocracy -not Marx’ proletariat- are precursors.)

The left-liberal elite of cultural leaders is attracted to its self-generated ideals and it resents the political power of practical men. Beyond that, the ability to convert the control over ideas into political might is considerable. The sway over the media, education, and of cultural life in general, all translate into an influence that, in practical terms, amount to power. In numerous professions, recognition, careers, and even earning a living, is not possible against the will of the morally empowered. Those active in practical politics can confirm that governing against the entrenched liberal elite is difficult. It will remain so until the “deplorable” common man converts his polite silence into indignant involvement.

The governing record of abstraction-chasing intellectuals has an undistinguished score. This has not inspired a critical revision of pet projects. Here a newly popularized concept to right the wrongs of the past by remodeling the future comes to mind. It is the initially catching, idea of “reparations”. It advocates the paying of compensation for the descendants of those whose ancestors have, according to the past’s practice, suffered wrongs by the present’s standards. At the moment, the project has put slavery in America in its cross-hairs. Expect the idea’s internationalization to follow.

Reparations are an attractive concept. It keeps that status until you examine the details. As a starter, there must be a group that underachieves by the general standards of its society. To make a claim, this condition must be attributable to a past wrong imposed by identifiable groups that can afford to pay.

Several difficulties emerge upon closer examination. Generations might separate the tort from the present. This makes tenuous the relationship of the past’s victims and the persons to be compensated now. The same goes for the nexus between history’s villains and those credited to be their inheritors. What share of the reparations shall burden a person that might have immigrated, as has this writer, in the fifties? How is the benefit of an individual with a victim on the family tree to be calculated if a subsequent ancestor intermarried with the “oppressors”? Is race, or whatever is declared to be one, going to be the sole standard? The rising number of fake claims seeking advantages by claiming victim status contain a warning. Should a Black PhD, or a Spaniard who moved to Mexico and then to the US, to get something? Will members of victim groups need to contribute to repay indigenous peoples such as Aztecs or Mayas? What will be done about women in general? Can one compute and deduct the worth of the advantages extended under Affirmative Action or a promotion in the attempt to meet a quota?

Interesting are the global implications. The world is full of victims whose ancestors might have been oppressors. Can Serbs raise claims against modern-day Turkey? If so, can a demand be made in the name of tens of thousands of Italians and Magyars massacred by Serbs at the end of WW2? How about the obligations of the Mongols that have destroyed Russia and who devastated much of Europe? Do the Greeks, themselves subsequently victims, owe something to Persia? An endless list indicates that compensation might be an attractive principle for the ignorant but totally impractical in the real world of the informed.

Reparations appear to be a well-meaning but unviable tool to correct history’s consequences. Beyond the confusion regarding who should get how much and for what, the concept has a further flaw. The reparations project is a typical proposal that assumes that those who “have” owe that to the ones that “want”. In this case, justice is to take from those that do not deserve their holdings in order to advantage their deprived victims. Operating this redistribution empowers those who can bribe their supporters. This might entrench those in power, but it will hardly create a fair society. Unless prevented by the state, the plucked “haves” – except those that leave for a receptive environment – will recover as they have the skills and the right attitude. Whatever has been syphoned off will discourage economically rational behavior but it will not permanently stifle the able.

Artificially injected wealth is unlikely to create lasting benefits. This is a reason why foreign aid has not triggered self-supporting change. You know the saying “to really help, do not send us fish, give us nets”. The infusion of money triggers hedonistic consumption and not shrewd investments. Money dispersed by the sprinkler method will generate support while it lasts. A productive and prosperous society leveled at a higher standard will not be among the outcomes. Free lunches can still an appetite. They cannot fill the pantry and recruit cooks. That feature makes them into a merry prelude to famine.

The central thing used to be winning votes. Now it is winning power — two very different things.

The first is predicated on the idea that ours is to be a government ‘of, by and for the people.’ Today the “people” are seen as merely an obstacle to be won over, or equally, bamboozled or ignored. The goal is no longer reaching them but getting past them.

Thus the selective hiding of essential facts and the blatant twisting of stories to those ends.

This has always been so on the margins — within cities owned and run by a corrupt party apparatus — but such was looked down upon and seen as an aberration. Today it’s what hired political operatives, many lawyers, and the media see as simply the means to getting what they think they deserve: more power.

And “the people”? These matter really not at all except as a means to an end.

And thus making ‘the people’ easier to bamboozle and easily countable or overcountable at election time is the long-term focus.

Again, such was long so in a few corrupt cities. But today it is an almost open goal with noncitizens increasingly given a voice in the selection of elected (can we even reliably use the phrase “duly elected” any longer?) officials, and, more recently the push to allow convicted felons to vote.

So too the dumbing down of education — the more unlearned the better, to ease the bamboozling and, yes, the outright vote buying with government program giveaways — or so the common understanding has for some time been.

The selective silence about some election results, along with the loud trumpeting of other results is also a part of this. As is the timing of such.

This has been increasingly so as the shift from winning votes to winning power has become the modus vivendi. But new to this election is the willingness to actually publicly stop counting votes until new ones can be “found,” as is both the media’s willingness to go along with this and the poorly educated’s seeming willingness to accept both the fact of it and the excuses used to justify it.

That all the above has not totally succeeded is because of the fundamental truths that underlie our republic — especially that of the basic equality of man. For while untaught and “deeply feeling” people have been successfully created by the system (Check out slang word “Karen”!) the bringing in of supposedly easy-to-lead and mislead migrants has not gone entirely according to plan.

Before the present election day debacle is resolved, due credit will have to be given to the bulwark that the supposedly easy to lead and mislead Hispanic population — most especially those who came here from Cuba and Venezuela — has proved to be. They who had been fed the socialist lie and line before and knew the “truth” about it. Such simply were not easily fooled. Thank God for that and them!

As of this writing, the 2020 presidential election is still not finished.  Many Americans are dumbfounded. 

The counting pause late into the evening on Election Night, amid a Trump surge in nearly all of the uncalled battleground states, is well documented.  The Fox News early calls of Virginia and Arizona for Biden, while the math favored Trump, and the reported vote counts were low, defies logic, despite their experts’ 100% certainty.  Fox News’s failure to call Florida, Texas, Georgia, and North Carolina for what seemed hours after 99% of the vote was in, given the early calls just mentioned, was inexplicable. 

Trying to put all this together, we had the “Transition Integrity Project,” published in August.  All along, the Democrats have planned to delay conceding; Hillary advised Biden not to concede under any circumstances.  Logically, the only reason would be to eliminate his need to concede at all, since the vote deficits could easily be pinpointed, and with prior planning, everything could be in place to fix the problem.  In the middle of the night — say, around 3 A.M. or so, when everyone is tired, with a break in the action — the plan could go into effect.  

We also had the polling farce.  For months, Biden held a commanding lead in nearly every poll, while our lying eyes showed us Trump rallies all across the country with tens of thousands in attendance.  There were Trump parades strung for miles and miles on highways and waterways, a phenomenon never seen for any election, at least in my lifetime.  Pundits commented how they had never before heard the “We Love You” chant for any candidate.  While Trump energetically traversed the nation, keeping a pace that exhausted those just watching, Biden hid in his basement, preparing for a debate, playing damage control for Hunter, or doing a Zoom interview with a teleprompter.  No one called it campaigning, but it was “clearly working for him.”

We had the Russia, Russia, Russia revelations that trickled out through the tireless work of Judicial Watch and House Republicans.  There were verified, irrefutable illegal acts carried out by the Obama administration against Trump’s campaign and loyalists.  The brain-washing of the electorate against Trump began before he took office, and Biden was in the thick of it. 

The brainwashing continued through the Mueller investigation and into the impeachment debacle, where the president was impeached for what Biden had bragged on video about doing, and we now know from Hunter’s laptop that it was just the tip of the iceberg of Biden’s corruption.

We had the MSM, where anti-Trump brainwashing was a never-ending effort.  Ninety-plus percent of stories about Trump were negative, and his accomplishments, even his brokered peace deals in the Middle East, were barely touched upon, if mentioned at all.  Did any voters even know he has five nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize for 2021?  Tucker Carlson did an entire show with the Bidens’ former business partner, Tony Bobulinski, who revealed Joe Biden’s lies; he knew all about Hunter’s influence-peddling in multiple foreign countries.  Carlson said not a single other MSM network even mentioned the name “Bobulinski.”  So the MSM not only brain-washed the electorate against Trump, but omitted the positive about him, as well as the negative about Biden, right up to the election.  Over four years of record-breaking accomplishments and fulfilling campaign promises that made America, and Americans, stronger and more prosperous, and the president had to fight the biased onslaught non-stop. 

We had the social media giants, where foreign despots can trash America freely but the president of the United States running for re-election and his press secretary are censored for posting what is indisputably true.  The bias that ran rampant throughout influential American sources of public information was shameful and despicable, and it tilted the playing field against the president because he is not a politician.  Trump never fit the politician mold, sucking up to donors, parsing his words, staying above the fray, or looking away as Obama did while others sold out America for personal profit.   

We now await the conclusion of the greatest political scandal in American history, carried through to the end in what the Democrats and the MSM will laugh about behind closed doors.  Trump railed about voter fraud being real, and the response was always “there’s no evidence of it.”  Just like accusations of Joe Biden’s corruption — “there’s no evidence of any corruption.”  That just means you’ll have to find it; it’s not a denial of it being real, and thus, it’s technically not a lie.  That’s always how they do it.  This time, in league with operatives from the Transition Integrity Project placed in the population centers in every battleground state, they’re pulling off the ultimate “You’re Fired” scandal through pre-planned voter fraud on a massive scale.  Reports and videos have been posted for several days.  They should be transparent, but the Trump campaign has already filed suit because they’re covering it up — i.e., “no evidence.”

Joe Biden is a worse candidate than Hillary Clinton, and a worse Catholic than Osama bin Laden.  He’s provably corrupt, has no core beliefs beyond what his audience wants to hear, and has a longer record of plagiarism, going back to his 20s, than of legislative accomplishments in over a half-century.  He’s made up more versions of his own life’s story than he can recall.  His deal with Bernie Sanders to keep from completely alienating Bernie’s supporters promises to bring socialism ever closer to full reality in America.  Does anyone really believe, with his obvious mental decline, that Joe will be pulling his own strings?  He has sold his soul, if he had one, to the powers who promised to get him elected, something he’s wanted all his life.  This is about his dream being fulfilled, not his dream for America. 

Remember what’s at stake.  The Durham investigation into the crimes of the Obama administration will disappear if Biden is elected.  No accountability whatsoever.  He has even named some of his co-conspirators as possible Cabinet members.  Even Hillary wants to be secretary of defense!  When it’s all put together, it’s just about the scariest thing I’ve ever seen.

First, they tried to bring him down with a sex “scandal” that almost elevated a creepy lawyer to a Democratic presidential contender.  Then they cooked up a baseless impeachment.  A virus came from China to later derail what could have been a landslide win for him.  Then numerous blatant push polls tried to demoralize his supporters.  (Just pick one.  Less than a week before the election, an ABC News–Washington Post poll gave Biden a 17% lead in Wisconsin.  Is there any way to sue these two corrupt companies?)

They had written him off.  Yet he not only survived, but also is winning — until a massive cheating operation came at the right time.  The votes he won in Georgia, North Carolina, Michigan, and Wisconsin should be enough to re-elect Trump.  But he must be stopped.  Just use the old refined trick.

Joseph Stalin, the Russian communist dictator, once said it is not the people who vote that count, but the people who count the votes.  The Democratic Party in the U.S., which is full of radical leftists and quasi-communists, understands this trick well.  Not only that, but the party has perfected it.

On Election Night in 2008, the Republican Senate candidate in Minnesota, Norman Coleman, led the Democratic candidate, Al Franken, by 726 votes.  It’s enough to warrant an automatic recount.  Two weeks later, Coleman’s lead was down to 215.  The case then went back and forth to the court.  Six months later, the election winner was certified.  It was Al Franken, who then won by 312 votes.

Later investigation showed that 1,099 felons, all ineligible to vote, had voted in the race.  Writing in the Wall Street Journal, John Fund aptly titled it “Felons for Franken.”

Keep recounting the “votes” until you win.

On Election Night in November 2004, the Republican candidate, Dino Rossi, led his Democratic opponent, Christine Gregoire, by 261 votes in the Washington gubernatorial race.  That triggered an automatic recount.  After a three-week machine recount, Rossi was still ahead by 42 votes.

The Democrat Party asked for a recount again — manually.  In the second recount, the election officials in King County, a heavily Democrat jurisdiction, entered a locked “cage” in a warehouse.  They found a treasure: a plastic mail tray that contained 162 absentee ballots.  They also decided to count 573 other ballots that were already rejected because the election workers could not find voter signatures that corresponded to them.

Seven weeks after the election, Christine Gregoire eventually emerged as the winner by a 130-vote victory.

Keep recounting the votes, including the “extra” ones, until you win.

Exactly two years ago, in the congressional race in California’s District 39, the GOP candidate, Young Kim, faced the Democratic candidate, Gil Cisneros.  On election night, Kim led Cisneros by about 4,000 votes.  But that’s not the end.  There were still “many” mail-in ballots to be counted.  Even after Election Day.

After about ten days, Cisneros was declared a winner with a 3,020-vote victory.  The Kim campaign accused Cisneros’s campaign of foul play, stating that the overwhelming percentage of the mail-in ballots that had gone to Cisneros was way higher than the overall split in the normal votes.  And who was in charge of the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder?  Dean Logan, who was the election director in King County, Washington State, whose office mysteriously found the 162 absentee ballots in a warehouse.

Keep counting the votes, including the “extra” ones, until you win.

The mother of all election fiascos, until this year, is perhaps Florida 2000.  On Election Night, George W. Bush led Al Gore by 1,784 votes.  It’s enough for an automatic recount under Florida state law.  After a three-day recount in the 66 Florida counties that used vote-counting machines, Bush’s lead was down to 327 votes.  The Gore campaign requested a manual recount in four counties, which the Bush campaign objected to.  But the manual recount went ahead, and that’s the beginning of the fiasco, which led the U.S. Supreme Court on December 9, upon Bush’s appeal, to order the manual recount to stop.  At that time, Bush had a 537-vote victory.

After the election ended, a comprehensive study reported that George W. Bush would have increased his vote gap to a 1,665-vote margin if the recount continued.  But that was done with essentially nothing at stake.

When the stakes are too high, the invitation to cheat will be so strong that even a saint could falter.  I am fully convinced that Gore would have won the recount had it not been stopped.  “Votes” would have shown up from mysterious places.

The Democratic Party’s meme sounds noble: all votes must be counted. The problem is, who counts them, whose votes need to be counted (legal or illegal), and for how longshould the votes be counted?

President Trump was already ahead in the states of Georgia, North Carolina, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania.  With a fair and honest count, Trump will win in all of these states and be re-elected.

But another Democratic Party trick came in handy.  When your opponent is about to win, delay the vote count.

Had Biden done very well and been expected to win Georgia, North Carolina, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania on the Election Night, the vote count would have continued.  But because Trump was about to win in the aforementioned states, the vote count was postponed.  

Why they didn’t count all the mail-in ballots first, as Florida did?  And why did they delay the vote count in heavily Democratic blocs?  It’s reasonable to believe they did it so they could anticipate the number of the votes they need to produce in order to win the election.  If the still uncounted “votes” turn out to overwhelmingly go for Biden, it will be said that the ballots are coming from Democratic strongholds for justification.

Brilliant!  But it smells to high heaven like fraud.

Stalin’s dictum has been refined by the Democratic Party to include “whose votes” to be counted.  They are applying it in this presidential election to stop Trump — at any cost and at any means.

This time, we hope they meet their match: a street-fighter president. Trump must fight to the end. Otherwise, the United States will soon descend into a banana republic.

Ironic, isn’t it? This could be Trump’s finest hour. 

As befits the already awful year of Our Lord, 2020, the presidential election is going to come down to a nasty street fight of lawyers, public relations spin, and positioning involving four states. Donald Trump has won all four, and now he must successfully defend all four wins from the very mail-in shenanigans he (and all of us) predicted would happen months ago. This is flesh and blood people versus theoretical pieces of mail. The people must win this.  

Like many, as I was transitioning from supporting Ted Cruz in the summer of 2016 to making peace with supporting Donald Trump, the main comfort I had was that Trump was a fighter, one who seemed fearless, and one who talked like a real guy instead of a political drone. Then there is the “it” factor that Trump has, a once in a lifetime gift upon the political scene.  The brilliant Cruz was admittedly a bit weak on all of that.  Okay, more than a bit. 

At the time I was producing a series of twenty attack articles against the Republican Establishment for Steve Bannon at Breitbart, so I naturally had enjoyed — and written about — the successes during the process of Trump, Cruz, Ben Carson and Rand Paul — as they all irked the GOP-E. 

And in the past four years, Trump has rarely disappointed on the fighter front. His instincts back on March 22nd were to push back against Tony Fauci, to not let “the cure be worse than the disease” regarding COVID, and he was right. Something inside was telling him that letting a narrowly focused bureaucratic scientist who hadn’t treated a human patient in 40 plus years rule the world’s economy was not a good idea.  Oddly, he backed off of that fight for about seven months — possibly at the behest of NYC focused Ivanka and Jared or wimpy GOP consultants, but that’s a discussion for another article and another day. 

As a result, Mr. Trump, now is the time to really fight, and fight like you’ve never fought before. Tell Ivanka and Jared and the consultants to sit down and shut up. Time for you to be you. Now is the time for the straightest, toughest, and most real unvarnished talking you have ever done. You shouldn’t have to do this, of course. You should have sailed into re-election with well over 300 Electoral votes and a booming economy. Then the scamdemic of COVID happened, with all of the complications and implications thereof and therein, and the world was turned upside down. Our economy and your political fortunes included. 

Yet somehow, even with the Fauci mistake, you charged into yesterday with the incredible momentum of a winner. And you won, legitimately. Taking out the Marxist strongholds of California and New York, you won the popular vote in the other 48 state by millions. By all rights, you have won Michigan, you beat the frack out of Biden in Pennsylvania, and you held off  “the damned Yankees” who have moved into Georgia and North Carolina and brought their polluting voting habits with them. 

But that’s not where we are. We are still in a war, a war against an enemy, the worldwide left, that has co-opted the Democrat party, virtually the entire American media, the social media giants, Big Education, Big Entertainment and even Big Sports. Yes, the foot soldiers will be the lawyers, but this battle will have a huge public opinion angle, and that’s where you must dominate. You must make it clear to the Supreme Court justices and to everybody else that your supporters are real live people who love the country and who are passionate.  

And millions of their voters are theoretical pieces of mail that may or may not have ever been in the hands of a legitimate voter. Remind people that Republicans did well in The House and The Senate, and across the country. Just ooze legitimacy, because you are the legit winner. We are the legit winners. 

Quite likely this is coming down to the Supreme Court, and they are flesh and blood human beings. They do watch what’s going on. They have feelings and opinions and have to live in Washington. Keep that in mind. Aside from the three ultra-liberals, they are not drones. Justice Barrett is new, and she needs a visible and obvious reason to support flesh and blood voters over pieces of mail. She needs a reason she can support you and not be called a lackey. Justice Kavanaugh had his testosterone drained by the vicious attacks on him, and you need to give him a reason to get it back. Justice Gorsuch is one of those brilliant but annoying libertarian leaning guys who needs a public display of such common sense that he understands pieces of paper cannot disenfranchise real people by cancelling their votes.  Thomas and Alito are solid. And Roberts? Well, I’ve written him off but would be delighted to be wrong.

I say, continue to hold rallies. Stay on this every second of every day. Keep your attorneys fired up. Keep your people fired up. Make it obvious that this is still a war between the people and the basement dwellers. More than ever, Trump must be Trump. Go with your gut. Attack. We shouldn’t be here, but we are. It is what it is. Perhaps we have the one man who can make it his and our finest hour. The Republic depends on it.
