The Deniers Claim it’s “Trump’s Big Lie”

Have you ever wondered how the mainstream media (MSM, i.e., ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, New York Times, Washington Post, et al) quickly determined that there was NO VOTER FRAUD during the 2020 presidential election and immediately labelled all claims as “Trump’s Big Lie” ?

Remember, during the transition period between Election Day, November 3^rd, and January 6^th, when the electors were certified by Congress, Trump’s team alleged there were over 1,000 INDEPENDENT witnesses who signed sworn Affidavits under penalty of perjury, that they saw various polling station “irregularities” in at least six battleground states.  Texas filed a suit on behalf of those six states that made its way to he Supreme Court, and the Court announced that the case had “no basis” on December 11^th 2020.  No basis ?  They wouldn’t even hear the case.

So We the People are supposed to believe the word of the DNC, proven liars, and ignore the testimony of 1,000 INDEPENDENT affiants.  How can they say there is “no evidence” of widespread voter fraud, when they don’t even listen to the witnesses, or investigate it at all ?

Meanwhile, the corrupt DOJ has been “investigating” Hunter Biden for over 5 years, while squashing attempts to release information, and denying the existence of the infamous “laptop from Hell” in the runup to the election, all to protect Quid Pro Joe Biden’s campaign.  The FBI had possession of the laptop nearly a year BEFORE the election.  They KNEW it existed.  They KNEW it was real, and they KNEW what was on it.  And something like 20% of Democrat voters when polled, said they would NOT have voted for Biden had they known about that laptop.  Can you spell “election interference” ?

The Mueller investigation into Trump’s phony Russian connections took over 2 years.  The Horowitz Report that exposed the depth of DNC corruption from Hillary Clinton’s manufactured Russian hoax, and the FBI’s targeting of Trump under their Crossfire Hurricane investigation, took 2 years to complete, and his “bombshell” findings have been ignored.  But all of Trump’s voter fraud claims were dismissed and debunked in a few days before ANY investigation could be launched.  The difference, is that the DNC and the media had to “run out the clock” in short order, to secure their power by January 6^th.  Those other probes would be beneficial to the Democrats as long as they could delay the release of any information under the guise of “ongoing investigations”.

We still haven’t found out what really happened in Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Arizona, all five battleground states that “coincidently”, all flipped for the Democrats.

Why haven’t some of those 1,000 Affiants stepped forward and told their stories ?  Are they all too afraid to speak up ?  I recently heard of a case in my hometown that was filed by a Democrat election official claiming his reputation had been defamed by a poll watcher who said he witnessed the plaintiff manipulating machines at a storage facility.  The case was thrown out, in the poll watchers favor, but nothing more was said about the circumstances, and no details were provided, other than that which I have anecdotally described above.  Typical media reaction, sweep it under the rug.  Perhaps he was just one of 1,000 similar stories. 

Liars Can Figure But Figures Don’t Lie  

Let’s look at the numbers.  There were 168,300,000 registered voters in the 2020 presidential election, as estimated by the U.S. Census Bureau.  [1]

Reuters posted this article in an effort to debunk online claims by Trump supporters that there were only 133 million registered voters, and if Trump garnered 74 million, there wouldn’t be enough votes left for Biden. 

There were 158,429,631 ballots counted for President in 2020; Biden “tallied” 81,283,501 votes, while the incumbent President, Trump, received 74,223,975 votes.  Third party and independent candidates accounted for the remaining votes, less than 1% of the total. 

OK, so the total vote count WAS less than 168 million, and everything looks “kosher”, right ?  Hold on. 

They “fact checked” the 133 million figure, eager to discredit the social media claims, and then posted the article, presumably under full approval from their editors, without realizing they were promoting the idea that over 94% of registered voters “turned out” and actually voted.  What ???  Wait a minute.  Is that plausible ? 

Straight from the very source that Reuters cited in their aforementioned article on the number of registered voters, the U.S. Census Bureau, put out a Press Release in April 2021, more than 2 years before the Reuters article, wherein they stated that, “The 2020 presidential election had the highest voter turnout of the 21^st century, with 66.8% of citizens 18 years and older voting in the election, according to new voting and registration tables released today . . . “.  [2]

In order to fully understand these statistics, we have to dig a little deeper.  “In 2020, the U.S. Census Bureau counted 331.4 million people living in the United States; more than three-quarters (77.9%) or 258.3 million were adults, 18 years or older . . . “.  [3]

Of those 258.3 million adults, the Census Bureau estimates that 168.3 million, or 65.1% of them were registered voters.

In contrast, there were 158.6 million registered voters in 2016.  Hillary Clinton garnered 65,853,625 votes, winning the popular vote, but was defeated in the all-important Electoral College 306-232, by Donald Trump, who collected 62,985,106 votes.  That’s a total vote count between those two candidates of 128,838,731, or approximately 81.2% of the registered voters.  Libertarian candidate, Gary Johnson, got 3.3% of the vote.

In 2012, there were 153.2 million registered voters.  Incumbent Barack Obama was re-elected, collecting 65,915,795 votes, while his opponent, Mitt Romney, secured 60,933,504 votes, totaling 126,849,299 votes between those two candidates, about 82.8% of the registered voters.  Others received 1.7% of the vote.

In 2008, there were 146.3 million registered voters.  Obama was elected to his first term amid a huge wave of Democratic optimism, collecting 69,498,516 votes, while his opponent, John McCain, secured 59,948,323 votes, totaling 129,446,839 votes, or 88.4% of the registered voters.  Others received 1.4% of the vote.

And now we’re supposed to accept, without question, the notion that a candidate who hid in his basement during the entire campaign season, and drew a few dozen supporters to his limited appearances, collected 81 million votes, 16 million more than Hillary Clinton four years earlier.  And the enthusiasm for him was much greater than Obama ever generated.  Okaaaaaaayyy.

Historically, the 65% to 66% turnout of the entire eligible population is in line, and while it may be possible that media-inspired hatred of President Trump drew voters out from the shadows, increasing the voter turnout from traditionally low 80’s percentages, and 88% in the energetic campaign of 2008, to over 94% participation seems less than plausible.  

That’s a pretty high “batting average”.  I’m skeptical that 94 out of every 100 registered voters did their civic duty and actually voted, even with mail-in ballots and extended opportunities.  It’s not a stretch to assume there were millions of citizens who registered the last time they were at the DMV and simply apathetic when the time came to go through the motions of actually voting. 

Looking at it another way, the voter rolls increased by just 9.7 million voters from 2016 (158.6 million) to 2020 (168.3 million), and Trump got MORE than 11 million additional votes than he did in 2016.  So where did all those Biden votes come from ?  It’s reasonable to challenge the count when the Republican incumbent collected 11 million more votes, and the Democrat candidate claims to have won an additional 16 million votes than his party’s previous candidate, with less than 10 million additional voters.  That’s nearly three times the increase in registration.  I’m pretty sure you can’t squeeze 27 million more votes out of 10 million more voters.

The Battleground States

The five battleground states that Trump won in 2016 and flipped to Biden in 2020 were; Arizona (AZ), Georgia (GA), Michigan (MI), Pennsylvania (PA), and Wisconsin (WI).

Let’s look at these interesting numbers: Vote data courtesy of CNN [4]

Notice anything peculiar about the vote totals in GA, MI, and PA (in bold red text) ?

According to official U.S. Census Bureau data, the total number of votes cast in those states is LESS than the combined total vote for the two major candidates.  How could that be ?

Not only that, but the difference in “extra” votes above the Census Bureau totals, exceeds the margin of victory in ALL THREE STATES, which represent 52 electoral votes.  And some of those total votes in the last column were certainly cast for other candidates.

Next time you hear some fraud denier ridicule “Trump’s Big Lie”, ask them how to explain the FACT that there were more combined votes for Biden and Trump than the total votes cast in Georgia, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.  And don’t forget to mention that those “extra” votes were MORE than the margin of “victory” in all three states.

NOBODY is going to convince me the 2020 election wasn’t stolen, PERIOD !

The Video

Star date 23 Jan 2018:  Remember that time Joe Biden appeared at a Council on Foreign Relations discussion and bragged ON CAMERA about withholding a $1 billion aid package in March 2016, unless then-President, Petro Poroshenko of the Ukraine, fired top Prosecutor, Viktor Shokin, who was investigating his son and Burisma ?

Biden was then Vice President of the United States and had been appointed by former President Barack Obama, to oversee foreign policy in Ukraine, while his son, Hunter, was sitting on the board of Burisma Holdings, the largest gas company in the Ukraine.

Towards the end of his story, after setting up the situation and implying that his demand be executed within 6 hours, Biden said, “If he’s not fired, you’re not getting’ the money . . . well, son of a bitch.”

The “fact checkers” claim Biden “leveraged” aid to the Ukraine in an effort to persuade President Poroshenko to oust the Prosecutor as part of an “anti-corruption” program unrelated to his son.  Shokin investigated Burisma in 2014.  Hunter Biden joined the board of Burisma in 2014, and “served” until 2019.

On 20 July 2023, Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA), released an unclassified FBI Document known as an FD-1023, within which it is claimed by an FBI Informant that then CEO of Burisma, Mykola Zlochevsky, made two $ 5 million payments to “the Bidens” (that’s Hunter and Joe for those in the back), revealed by Zlochevsky in a 2016 meeting with the Informant in Vienna, while Hunter sat on Burisma’s board making $ 50,000 per month.

From a CNN article; “The Informant also claimed Zlochevsky had texts and 17 audiotapes, two of which included Joe Biden, that showed he was forced to pay the Bidens, according to the documents.  A number of Republicans have questioned whether those audio recordings exist – and there’s been no evidence of the recordings to date.”  [1]

The Informant, described as “highly credible” by the FBI, told the bureau that the Biden bribes arose as part of a conversation with Zlochevsky into how to deal with the investigation of Burisma. 

Reportedly, those $5 million payments were directed to offshore LLC accounts, shell companies for the Biden bribery scheme and money laundering operation.

Let’s review:

In March 2016 (early in the year), Biden dangles the $ 1 billion “carrot” to President Poroshenko.  Within 6 hours, Prosecutor Shokin is fired.

In 2016, Zlochevsky pays the Bidens (Hunter and “the big guy”) $ 5 million each

1. How much of that $ 1 billion was “granted” to Burisma ?
2. Which LLC(s) controlled by Hunter received $ 10 million in 2016 ?

As a reminder:

Article II ; Section 4 of the Constitution says,

“The President, Vice President and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.”

VERDICT: President Biden is GUILTY of bribery

Conviction requires 67 Senators to vote for removal.  We all know the Democrat-controlled Senate will never turn against their own leader, but the Republican House must impeach Biden to make a statement.  If Democrats impeached Trump on bogus charges twice, Republicans should impeach Biden for ACTUAL crime, PERIOD !

The only way Biden could be removed from office, is if Obama gives the order.  HE is the real leader of the Democrat Party and everything depends on what HE wants.  So, if HE wants Biden to step aside and be replaced by Kamala, that’s what will happen.  Then watch for the announcement that “Big Mike” Michelle is running in 2024.  Don’t laugh.

The Congressional Testimony of Two IRS Whistleblowers

On Wednesday, 19 July 2023, two IRS whistleblowers appeared before the House Oversight and Accountability Committee to testify on their knowledge of the Biden investigation and how they were stifled by the Department of Justice from pursuing the case.

The hearing was titled, “Hearing with IRS Whistleblowers About the Biden Criminal Investigation”.  The two whistleblowers were Gary Shapely, Supervisory Special Agent, and Joseph Ziegler, Criminal Investigator, formerly known only as “Whistleblower X”.

Committee Chairman, James Comer (R-KY), said in his opening statement, “From the thousands of financial records we’ve obtained, we know the Biden family set up over 20 shell companies, engaged in intentionally complicated financial transactions with foreign adversaries, and made a concerted effort to hide the payments and avoid scrutiny.”  [2]

He further stated, “Americans are rightfully angry about this two-tiered system of justice that seemingly allows the Biden family to operate above the law.”

To echo the mantra of the Democrat Party and their lapdog media propagandists, incessantly shouting it from the rooftops as they framed President Trump on bogus charges, “No one is above the law.  Not even the President of the United States.” 

Both Witnesses were at the top level of the IRS investigation that dated back to Hunter Biden’s failure to file taxes in 2014, now past the statute of limitations, but continuing through 2019, triggered by large payments that were not claimed and lavish corporate “expenses” involving prostitutes and sex club fees.

They both testified that multiple “suspicious activity reports” (SARS) from financial institutions had been discovered involving Hunter Biden and his complex shell companies, and that he had evaded taxes from the period 2014 to 2019, providing detailed evidence of payments received.  That is evidence that can’t be denied.  It’s clearly written in black and white, linked to Hunter Biden.

Bear in mind that the FBI had Hunter’s “laptop from Hell” by December 2019.  They knew it wasn’t Russian disinformation and suppressed the story ahead of the 2020 election to protect Biden’s campaign, even going so far as to coerce social media sites like Twitter and Facebook to censor coverage of the story.  That is classic textbook CORRUPTION.

That Pesky WhatsApp Text

Then there is the troubling WhatsApp text sent by Hunter Biden to Chinese Communist Party (CCP) official, Henry Zhao on July 30, 2017.

‘I am sitting here with my father and we would like to understand why the commitment made was not fulfilled.  Tell the director that I would like to resolve this now before it gets out of hand, and now means tonight.  And, Z, if I get a call or text from anyone involved in this other than you, Zhang, or the chairman, I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows and my ability to forever hold a grudge that you will regret not following my direction.  I am sitting here waiting for the call with my father,”  [3]

The next day, one of Hunter’s shell companies, OWASCO PC, received a $ 10 million payment from CEFC.

It was IRS Agent Shapely who told the House Ways and Means Committee last month about a search warrant that produced the WhatsApp message.  He also stated that the Department of Justice “slow-walked” the investigation of Hunter Biden and gave him “preferential treatment” that had never been offered in any case he had ever worked on with similar fact patterns.

Meanwhile, the White House continues to claim Joe Biden NEVER had any discussions with Hunter about his foreign business deals.

The Case Has Been Made: Next Step, IMPEACHMENT

We the People have seen and heard enough.  We don’t need any MORE evidence.  There is plenty of verified evidence already uncovered to impeach the President.  The time for talking is over.  Get on with it.  Do it NOW !

We know Kamala is perhaps a bigger bumbling idiot than he is, and she’ll be taking the same orders from Obama, but it doesn’t matter.  We just can’t have a PROVEN criminal in the White House.  Of course the Senate won’t convict him anyway, unless Obama wants them to.  We’ll deal with it either way.

The Case History

Unless you just got back from Mars and are hung-over on candy bars, by now you’ve heard that Manhattan District Attorney (DA) Alvin Bragg has indicted former President Donald J. Trump. 

It’s been almost 48 hours since the announcement on Thursday the 30^th of March, and we won’t know the scope of the alleged 34 counts until the indictment is unsealed in court on Tuesday, April 4^th.  Reportedly, the charges stem from a “hush-money” payment of $130,000 to porn star “Stormy Daniels” (a.k.a. Stephanie Clifford) for her silence in the months leading up to the 2016 election. 

In February 2018, Trump’s former attorney, Michael Cohen, now star witness for the prosecution, stated he made the payment from his own sources, and was not directed by Trump’s company or campaign to make the payment, also saying Trump never reimbursed him.  At that time, he was still employed by the Trump Organization.

In May 2018, Cohen was replaced by Attorney Rudy Giuliani, and Trump admitted that he reimbursed Cohen using his own personal funds.

In August 2018, as Cohen pled guilty to felonious charges of tax fraud, bank fraud, and campaign finance violations in Manhattan, he testified that Trump directed the payment “for the principal purpose of influencing the election.” 

Let’s not forget how Obama ran out the clock when the Benghazi story broke 7 weeks before the 2012 election, or how the Hillary Clinton campaign fabricated and paid for a phony Russian dossier on Trump leading up to the 2016 election, or how the media covered up the Hunter Biden laptop story exposing Biden family corruption in the months before the 2020 election, with assistance from the FBI, which coerced Twitter to censor the accounts of the New York Post. [1]

If they want to talk about influencing elections, let’s talk about influencing elections.  Lady Justice is supposed to be blind.  Her image shows a blindfolded woman holding the scales of justice.  Any notion that Lady Justice can only see with one eye undermines the very foundation of American jurisprudence. 

In a separate civil lawsuit brought by Daniels, U.S. District Judge, S. James Otero (Central District of California), a George W. Bush appointee, dismissed Daniels’ defamation suit on October 15, 2018.Daniels was then ordered to pay for Trump’s legal expenses. [2]   

On July 17, 2019, U.S. District Judge William Pauley (Southern District of New York), a Bill Clinton appointee, announced that federal prosecutors had ended their campaign finance investigations in regards to the hush-money payments.  Pauley further ordered that all related materials and a recent status report from the prosecutors be unsealed and made public in U.S. District Court by 11 AM the next day. [3]  Apparently, the Department of Justice had reviewed the case, and decided it was not strong enough to proceed.

All of these legal entanglements stem from Trump’s alleged affair with Daniels in 2006, for which Trump and Cohen initiated a nondisclosure agreement (NDA) in 2016.  Nondisclosure Agreements are completely legal documents executed all the time in the corporate world.    

The Indictment

Now DA Bragg is resurrecting the Stormy Daniels case by reclassifying the expired statute of limitations for a misdemeanor as a federal felony for which he has no jurisdiction, based on novel legal theory.  If he plans to argue that Trump’s NDA payment to Stormy Daniels is a campaign finance violation, that is under the purview of the Federal Election Commission (FEC), not a state court, and remember, the Department of Justice has already dismissed the case.

Reportedly, Trump’s legal team will fight for his “not guilty” plea with legal defense in his favor.  But that isn’t going to alleviate the ongoing assault on our constitutional rights perpetrated by the Democrat Party.  

We Have Entered the Realm of Tyranny

Just when you thought the Democrat Party (a.k.a. the DNC) couldn’t get any worse, they lower the bar to new depths.  We must expose the Democrats as the vile, despicable creatures that they are.

The unprecedented indictment of a former President, on shaky grounds no less, is Stalinesque.  This is tyranny in its purest form; the unsubstantiated prosecution your primary political opposition.  The radical left-wing of the DNC, which has hijacked the party and now controls every move they make, doesn’t even care about opposing perceptions.  They have no reason to fear repercussions because they know the (mainstream) media will defend anything they do while silencing all dissent.  And the sheeple who aren’t paying attention, a huge voting block, will be hoodwinked into believing everything they are told, every time.  They are completely under the influence of a propaganda media complex Goebbels could only dream about.

Bragg campaigned on a promise to “get Trump”.  That was his platform and the 80% liberal New York City voters elected him hoping to see this day.  They have gotten exactly what they voted for, which is to say that Bragg’s policy of letting actual violent criminals out of jail so they can attack random citizens all across the city, is well deserved.  The sharp increase in crime is directly on them.  In fact, Soros backed District Attorneys in all the major cities like New York, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and others have experienced the same uptick in violent offenses committed by released prisoners.  Murders, rapes, stabbings, armed robberies, car jackings, pushing strangers onto subway tracks, you name it.  These formerly decent cities are completely out of control and have been turned into third world shit holes in less than two years.  Enjoy your ventures out into the streets, but you better have some personal protection.  Oh wait, they’re all “gun free zones”.  Good luck to ye.

The (relatively) good news is that these tyrants have opened the door for future indictments that are long overdue against Democrats.  The gloves are off.  No longer will high ranking Democrats be able to skate off into retirement without a care in the world, enjoying their elite status.

The time will come (not soon enough) when their power will diminish, perhaps as soon as January 20, 2025.  If, and it’s a big “if”, any Republican can effectively tally more votes than whoever the DNC shoves into the candidate slot, while somehow negating the absolute certainty of fraudulent ballots, and regain the White House, he/she could nominate an Attorney General who will initiate investigations into the real criminals.

The Biden crime family: toast !

Obama’s treason: slam dunk !  There is no statute of limitations.

Hillary’s destruction of government documents: orange is the new black !

Don’t forget the smaller fish.  Those rotting smelly bastards laying all over the dock.  Brennan, Clapper, Strzok, Garland, Wray, Lerner, etc.  We must root out all the corruption and take our country back.  It’s no longer a political game.  It’s outright survival of our constitutional republic.  Defend it or get out of the way.

What are Patriots to do Now?

I am strongly pleading for rightfully angry Patriots to refrain from violence.  That is exactly what Democrats are hoping to incite.  January 6^th was just a training exercise.  They want Patriots to forcefully come out in the open so they can unleash a public massacre on “domestic terrorism”.  They want to drink the blood of Patriots from pewter tankards on national TV while their propaganda media complex celebrates their victory.  Don’t give them the pleasure.

Instead, use this indictment to your advantage by garnering support for Trump, or whoever the Republican candidate may be, by stressing the absolute tyrannical conduct of the Democrat Party.  Make it known to everyone you engage with.  Educate the sheeple, if that’s possible, to the fate of their very lives, if they continue to trust the propaganda they consume. 

This is political Armageddon.  We the People must prevail.  But we can’t start another Civil War to accomplish our victory.  We must crush the Democrat Party by ballot, not bullet.  And “therein lies the rub”. 

Most Patriots realize the 2020 election was stolen, despite all attempts by the media to debunk it as “Trump’s Big Lie”.  There were over 1,000 independent affiants who swore under penalty of perjury that they witnessed various “irregularities” at polling stations in at least six states.  Many of them had taken video proof of their allegations.  All were ignored despite overwhelming evidence.  On behalf of four of those states, Texas brought a case before the Supreme Court and on December 11, 2020, SCOTUS announced they refused to hear it because it “had no basis”.  Whaaaaaaaaaaatt ?

They did it again in the 2022 mid-terms to assure a majority in the U.S. Senate by cheating voters in at least two states, Arizona and Nevada, probably Georgia and Pennsylvania as well.

We the People cannot trust election “officials” in Democrat controlled cities that dominate state results.  We must organize state-by-state, a coordinated effort to place our own election officials in Democrat strongholds, particularly in those same battleground states that determined the 2020 presidential election.  There is a process that must be undertaken by applicants seeking to become election officials.  That process can be researched by state to find out what the requirements are.  It takes some time to complete the program for certification, so it must begin now in order to place observers in polling stations by November 2024. 

This is a call to action.

Contact your state Department of State to find out about election official training.  Most states defer certification to local county election boards, but you can start with the state agency for general guidance.  In my home state, you can begin the process by completing a state form that is forwarded to your local county.  In general, government employees cannot serve as election officials.  You will be paid for your time serving on Election Day.  I can’t believe you will ever be asked your political affiliation, but if you are, claim you are a Democrat.  The real battle is in the polling stations.

Document ANY and EVERY “irregularity” you see. Become the spy that infiltrates your local polling place. The primary targets are in Democrat controlled precincts, typically within major cities. Use your cell phone creatively to avoid suspicion. Record conversations using the video feature of your camera by holding it nonchalantly or in a shirt pocket. Use a remote shutter release like the one shown in the Amazon listing pictured in Figure 1 to snap pictures of strange boxes or take multiple pictures of workers looking at ballots and sorting them for future rescanning. Keep your eyes and ears alert at all times. Be aware of boxes brought into the building. Take note of the time of day/night of anything nefarious. If you see anything, report it to your closest REPUBLICAN Representative AND other Republican officials, making sure more than one individual hears your story.

Spotlight Nevada – Part III in a 3-Part Series

If you got to this page before reading Part I of this series, I suggest you check that out first, and then return.  You can see Part I: What Happened to the Red Wave ?  HERE

It took me forever to get out of Arizona, Part II of this series, partially due to the holiday and my 10 day hiatus from all things political.  This article isn’t nearly as long.  It’s not imperative that you read Spotlight Arizona first, but if you’d like, just click the link.  There is a return link at the bottom of Part II.  Let’s get to it.

Nevada Voter Registration Statistics

Nevada Dept. of State

Voter Registration Statistics – 2022 General Election  [1]

Democrat         616,841      32.52%

Republican       565,121      29.79%

Libertarian          16,751        0.88%

Other               698,413      36.81%

Total             1,897,126

For the sake of this article, I’m going to round off the above percentages to; 32% Democrat, 30% Republican, 1% Libertarian, and 37% Independent/Other.

Using the same methodology that I used in my Arizona analysis, I’ll assume there is virtually no “cross-over” voting between Democrats and Republicans, considering both sides to be firmly entrenched.  The two major candidates were therefore competing for the Independent vote, representing 37 points.

Nevada Dept. of State

Voter Registration Statistics – 2022 – three most populist counties

      Party         Clark          %age       Washoe     %age     Carson City    %age

Note that Clark County, the area encompassing Las Vegas, is by far the most populist, followed by Washoe, which surrounds the city of Reno. Washoe County had a population of 486,492 people as counted by the 2020 census.  By 2021, the latest available number, the population had grown to 493,392.  If we can trust the voter registration number, we can see that Washoe County’s population is 63.3% registered (using that latest figure).  I have shown Carson City County to illustrate how sparse the population is state-wide, exclusive of Clark and Washoe counties.  If a certain conspiracy to rig the election was planning their scheme, we could expect that to occur in at least one of those two counties.  Clark County represents over 71% of the state-wide electorate, and Washoe represents about 16.5% of the Nevada electorate.

I have not heard any reports of “irregularities” in Clark County, but lo and behold, there was some troubling news out of Washoe.  Somehow, all the livestream cameras went “dark” (offline) for more than 8 hours (from 11:24 PM local time on the evening of Nov 9^th, and not restored until 7:53 AM on Nov 10^th) at one of the county tabulation facilities.  It reminded me of that time all the cameras went dark outside Jeffrey Epstein’s cell, right before he hanged “himself”.

I have questions:

How many tabulation sites went dark?

How did all those cameras go dark?

Why did it take them 8 hours to restore the surveillance?

What is the voter registration breakdown by party in that precinct?

What was the final vote count in that tabulation site?

Why has there not been a full audit and signature verification in Washoe County?

Nevada Election Results, U.S. Senate – 2022

The table below shows the finalized election results accepted by the Nevada Supreme Court on Nov 22, 2022.  [2] 

Candidate      State        %age          Clark        %age        Washoe          %age

In all three areas, the Libertarian and “Other” candidates accounted for about 3% of the vote, so we are distributing 97 total points between the two major candidates.

Now let’s look at the baseline registration percentages that the Democrat and Republican candidates held and compare those percentages to the actual vote totals, state-wide and in the two most populist counties.

Catherine Cortez Masto (D) started with registered bases of 32% state-wide, 35% in Clark County, and 32% in Washoe.

The final vote count indicates she “won” 48.8% state-wide, 52.4% in Clark, and 50.8% in Washoe.

Therefore, of the 38 points represented by the Independent voters, Cortez Masto “won” 16.3 points (of the 38 points represented by the Independent voters) state-wide, 17.1 points (of 38) in Clark, and 19.1 points (of 34) in Washoe.

Adam Laxalt (R) started with registered bases of 30% state-wide, 26% in Clark County, and 33% in Washoe.

The final vote count indicates he got 48.0% state-wide, 44.6% in Clark, and 46.3% in Washoe.

Therefore, of the 38 points represented by the Independent voters, Laxalt took 18.2 points (of the 38 points represented by the Independent voters) state-wide, 18.7 points (of 38) in Clark, but just 13.3 points (of 34) in Washoe.

What do we see right away?  Apparently, the two candidates essentially split the independent vote, with Laxalt taking a slight edge both state-wide and in Clark County.  However, in Washoe County, where the cameras went dark, Cortez Masto “won” over 19 of the 34 independent points, while Laxalt was credited with only 13, a nearly 3:2 ratio in a county where Republicans outnumber Democrats.  Oh, by the way, Cortez Masto’s margin of “victory” in Nevada was 7,928 votes, and her margin in Washoe was 8,615 votes, just a hair over what she needed to take the state.

How many votes were counted with the cameras dark?

To be fair,I did discover a Politifact article that disputes any wrongdoing during the interruption in camera coverage. [3]  Once again, the propaganda media complex comes to the rescue and debunks claims of fraud.  The author claims the county put out a statement that staff had departed the building before the cameras went dark, which was caused by a computer application losing contact with the cameras, and the problem wasn’t discovered until the next morning.  They also claimed that surveillance cameras covering the garage and a hallway recorded no activity and that employees access the building with electronic badges, of which none were used during the outage.  In other words, everything is fine, look away.

You can choose to believe Politifact, or you can entertain the notion that it’s certainly possible that clandestine operators know how to manipulate electronic surveillance, especially when they know they have 8 hours to do what they want to do.  Personally, I don’t trust ANY obviously biased “news’ outlets.  At some point you have to realize that a growing list of “coincidences” ceases to be coincidences, and becomes arrangements.

Spotlight Arizona – Part II in a series to be continued

If you got to this page before reading Part I of this series, I suggest you check that out first, and then return.  You can see Part I: What Happened to the Red Wave ?  HERE

As you may recall from Part I, the actual voter registration numbers and percentages are the established baselines from which we can begin to analyze the election results in any given state, or county.  The rationale behind making the registration numbers “established” baselines is the reasonable assumption that there would be virtually no “cross-over” voting between the Democrat and Republican bases.  The two sides clearly hate each other and I see no reason to consider any scenario whereby any voter would abandon his/her beloved party.  So let’s look at: 

The Actual Numbers

Arizona Dept. of State

Voter Registration Statistics – 2022 General Election  [1]

Democrat      1,270,544      30.66%

Republican    1,436,852      34.67%

Libertarian          32,148        0.78%

Other            1,404,385      33.89%

Total             4,143,929

The methodology I’ll use here is to compare these percentages to the election results for the two candidates of the major parties, Democrat vs. Republican,

based on the abovementioned rationale, we can assume the Democrats would start with a solid 30% of the vote and Republicans would start with a solid 34%, then the two candidates would be competing for that 34% Independent (Other) vote.  Keep in mind that Marc Victor, the Libertarian candidate, siphoned off about 2% of the votes for Senator, but I’m largely going to ignore him.  For the sake of this article, I have rounded down the Dem and Repub shares to 30% and 34% respectively, and rounded up that “Other” registration to 34%, leaving 2% for the Libertarian share, which reflects what Victor actually got.

This method can not be claimed as “fool-proof”, but it’s a fairly reasonable starting point.  One caveat that must be considered is the very real possibility that among the Independent voter registration rolls, there are so-called “closet” Democrats and “closet” Republicans, people who lean left or right, but don’t want to “publicly” admit they favor either party among friends or family members.  That faction of the independent vote would be hard to quantify.  Perhaps a similar percentage of the independent vote could be assigned to each party that reflects the general break-down of the state, but that would be speculation.  One other factor that must be considered is that some of those independents may have registered Independent years ago, and may now have convictions that lean more left, or right, but simply never changed their registration status.  It would be naïve to postulate that the entire Independent registration is truly independent and honestly vote on how they feel about the issues of each particular election cycle.  Realistically, I would suggest that there is a mix of “closet” Democrats, “closet” Republicans, those who now “lean” left and right, and true “fence-sitters”, or “swayables”, that represent those 34 points.   

The most important race in Arizona, as well as the other states mentioned in Part I, in terms of political power, was the seat in the U. S. Senate, pitting the Republican challenger, Blake Masters against the incumbent Mark Kelly.  As it turned out Arizona was one of the few states that were at stake in terms of controlling the U.S. Senate.  Going in to the mid-terms, the Democrats held the slimmest possible margin, with each party holding 50 seats and ties being decided by Vice President Harris (D).  It was projected that Republicans had a legitimate chance to turn as many as 3 or 4 of those seats, thereby gaining control of the Senate. 

It would be negligent for me to ignore the “elephant in the room” at this juncture; being the almost certain, but unproven, allegations of voter fraud committed by the DNC in the 2020 presidential election.  If you have been following me at all, you know I have repeatedly claimed the DNC stole the presidency and control of the Senate. 

Just for some background:  In the 116^th Congress (2019-2021), Democrats controlled the House 235-199, having gained control by swinging 41 seats in the mid-terms of 2018.

Republicans had held control of the Senate since the mid-term elections of 2014, until Democrats took control in the 2020 election with 50 seats and Vice President Harris (D) deciding ties.  Republicans held majorities of 54-44 in the 114^th Congress (2015-2017), 52-46 in the 115^th Congress (2017-2019), and 53-45 in the 116^th Congress.  However, the 2 so-called “Independent” Senators both caucus with the Democrats 100% of the time, often referred to as Democrats when the media mentions the 50/50 split.  They are Angus King (I-ME) and Bernie Sanders (I-VT), who even sought the presidential nomination in the Democrat primaries several times.

Kelly was elected in the special election following the death of Senator John McCain, defeating incumbent Republican Martha McSally.  He has served since 2020 and was up for re-election upon the expiration of McCain’s term.  He is the husband of Gabby Giffords and probably garners a measure of sympathy from some voters due to her misfortunate shooting.

For Arizona, I’m going to examine both the Senatorial and Gubernatorial races state-wide, and direct the spotlight on Maricopa County due to early reports of their tabulator machines “malfunctioning”.

When I look for “irregularities” or anomalies, I’m looking for significant percentage variations or unusual events that appear to be “red flags”, and try to find out as much as possible on the circumstances.  I’ll compare the numbers in the chart below to updated numbers from when the vote was reported as 99% counted.

71% in                              State                       %age                    Margin

CHART 1: Represents a screenshot I took at 7:59 PM EST on the 10^th of Nov.  At this point it appears that Kelly had gotten about 21 of the 34 independent points (the percentage of registered Independents), and Masters had gotten less than 12 points.  Likewise, Hobbs had gotten nearly 20 of the 34 points and Lake had gotten less than 15.  I’d say those numbers in both races are suspicious due to the overwhelming disapproval of the performance of the Democratic administration (72% by poll), which common sense would indicate, has likely fostered some resentment among Independent voters.

In the Gubernatorial race, I also took several screenshots as the results slowly rolled in.  It’s a good way to see if any “irregularities” pop up and whether the early leader starts to lose ground or builds a late lead.

Maricopa County Results

It’s not enough to just glance over the state-wide results.  We have to investigate the results by county and look for “irregularities”, or abnormalities, particularly when there are reports of “malfunctioning” machines.

I’m just going to highlight Maricopa County, where the machines raised a “red flag”.  For a full list of the vote by county, see the webpage link in Footnote [2]

Arizona Dept. of State – Maricopa County (906 Precincts)

Voter Registration Statistics – 2022 General Election  [3]

Democrat         731,792      30.05%

Republican       841,142      34.54%

Libertarian          19,829        0.81%

Other               842,634      34.60%

Total             2,435,397

Maricopa County, an area that encompasses Phoenix, is the state’s most populous county, and home to about 60% of the state’s registered voters.  We can see by the voter registration percentages above that Maricopa County is nearly identical to the state-wide numbers for each party affiliation, as they are shown above, differing by only a few 10ths of a point in each case.

Within the first few hours of voting, it was reported that about 25% of the tabulator machines were rejecting ballots.  I have not seen any specific information on how many machines were “malfunctioning”, nor how many of the 906 precincts were experiencing problems, nor where those machines were in terms of party “strongholds”.  Would it shock anyone if we find out the “malfunctioning” machines were primarily located in heavily Democratic precincts?

An NPR article claims the machines were reported in “about 20% of the (voting) locations”.  [4]

“Around mid-afternoon local time (say 5 PM EST, Tuesday 8 Nov)), the county said that it had ‘identified the solution for the tabulation issues at about 60 Vote Centers.’ ”  Right off the bat, the NPR article seems elusive and deceptive.  They under-report a percentage in the headline, and then follow up with a disconnected number that appears bigger than the headlined percentage, but gives no indication of the actual effectiveness of the “solution”.  In other words, how many of the claimed 20% does “about 60” centers represent?  Notice how they don’t tell you how many precincts there are in Maricopa County, or how many centers were affected.  I wouldn’t be surprised to learn the editors deliberately misled their readers to downplay the perception of fraud, knowing claims of fraud are coming.  Remember, the media is undeniably a propaganda machine for the DNC.

They go on to say in a sub-header, these issues are “Fuel for baseless right-wing claims”, citing the Election Integrity Partnership (EIP), a “research coalition that focuses on misinformation around elections”.  (see more on EIP in Footnote [5])

(Paine’s Comment): It didn’t take them long to accuse conservatives of spreading lies.  NPR somehow knew that any “conspiracy theories” suspected regarding voter fraud were “baseless” as soon as the story broke.  It is their mission to immediately debunk all stories questioning election integrity.  Propagandists don’t wait for facts to emerge.  They take control of the narrative right away in an attempt to influence perceptions.

<insert a bigger table to include Victor (L) and update numbers>

Election results – for all intents and purposes, these can be considered final results, given the late date(s), although it’s reported as “99% counted”

99% in          State         %age         Margin     Maricopa      %age        Margin

CHART 2: State-wide results courtesy CNN ; updated 9 Dec at 3:30 PM EST ; Maricopa County results courtesy Politico ; updated 8 Dec at 8:45 PM EST ; Maricopa County results for Marc Victor and ballots cast totals courtesy Maricopa County Elections Department.  The county reported 1,562,758 ballots cast, which is 11,595 votes more than the total shown in the chart (1,551,163).  Those votes were apparently for other candidates and/or “write-ins”.  All percentages rounded.

There are several interesting “facts” to consider.  Note that:

In the Senatorial race, Kelly took 52.2% of the vote in Maricopa and “won” the county by a 99,082 vote margin, then increased his margin statewide to 125,719 votes, while losing 8/10ths of a point percentage-wise.  I’m not Copernicus, but I think we need an explanation on how that is possible.  If we subtract the Maricopa votes from the state-wide numbers, we can determine the votes won by each candidate outside of Maricopa. Then we can check those vote shares as percentages of the total vote excluding Maricopa.

The actual numbers would be 512,454 votes for Kelly, 485,817 votes for Masters, and 22,663 votes for Victor, totaling 1,020,934 votes cast outside of Maricopa.  Those corresponding percentages would then be 50.2% for Kelly, 47.6% for Masters, and 2.2% for Victor, in those other counties.  So, it appears that Kelly was able to increase his margin outside of Maricopa by “winning” just over 50% of those votes, while Victor siphoned off some of the votes that could have gone to Masters.  That is how Kelly lost ground while increasing his margin.

In Maricopa, Kelly’s 99,082 vote margin represents 79% of his state-wide margin in a county where Republicans outnumber Democrats by registration.  In the other counties outside of Maricopa, his 26,637 vote margin represents just 21% of his overall margin.  In other words, we are led to believe that considering the registration breakdown by party affiliation is nearly identical in Maricopa to the breakdown state-wide, with Republicans outnumbering Democrats everywhere, over 3/4ths of Kelly’s margin was “won” in Maricopa, where the machines “coincidently” malfunctioned. 

Keeping those registration numbers in mind, we are also supposed to accept the notion that Kelly “won” 22 of the available 34 points from independent voters in Maricopa, leaving just 11 points for Masters, a 2:1 ratio.  One might expect some degree of disillusionment among independents in light of the disastrous performance of the current Democrat leadership, yet somehow, 2 out of every 3 voted in support of continuing their own economic downfall.  That is completely mind-boggling.  

In the Gubernatorial Race, Hobbs took 51.2% of the vote in Maricopa and “won” the county by a 37,638 vote margin, then lost ground to Lake in the other counties, finishing with 50.3% and “winning” by a margin of only 17,117 votes.  The Maricopa voter registration is 30.05% Democratic (731,792), 34.54% Republican 841,142, 0.81% Libertarian (19,829), and 34.60% Other (842,634), or 2,435,397 total registered voters in 906 precincts for the General Election. [3]  Similar to the senatorial race, the Democrat “won” 21 of the available Independent points, while leaving just over 14 points for the Republican, a 3:2 ratio.  Not as lopsided, but still hard to believe, given the state of the economy and the ongoing border crisis in their own backyard.

Again, just to be clear, I am not saying there is absolute certainty of massive voter fraud supported by overwhelming evidence.  But, there are “irregularities”, specifically those tabulator machines that “malfunctioned”, that demand intense scrutiny.  AND, the numbers themselves simply don’t make sense.  We are all aware of the immediate vilification of anyone who questions the integrity of our elections by the Democrats and their propaganda machine, the mainstream media, often using the exact same terminology, as if there was a memo distributed instructing them on the proper phraseology.  They always say, in unison, those claims have been “debunked”.  Remember how they all regurgitated the phrase “Trump’s big lie”?  Who are the real liars? 

I have a few follow-up questions to those who quickly dismiss any claims of voter fraud:

Which independent authority completed a thorough and full audit of every vote?  One article that caught my attention was the request in Cochise County to expand an audit. [6]  In the body of the article it says a judge denied the request because a full hand-count audit is “not permitted under Arizona law”.  That may be true, but WHY is a full audit unlawful?  Don’t the citizens deserve to be informed of the truth?  The reason they filed the request was because they can’t trust the machines that count the votes.  That law itself is a “red flag” to me.  It opens the door to fraud.

Which independent authority cross-checked the voter registration rolls with the U.S. census database?

Which independent authority verified that every voter is still a living person by consulting the death records kept by the Social Security Administration?

How thorough was the testing of ALL vote tabulator machines?

Who certified the “tabulator” machines and how secure was the chain of custody?

What are all the details of the tabulator machine “malfunctions” in Maricopa?  The only reporting that I ever heard was the machines were not properly “reading” the marks made by voters.  But, to my knowledge, we were not fully informed of any further explanation.  What exactly was happening?  Were those machines not counting votes at all?  Or were they actually switching votes to a preset “default” (a.k.a. the Democrat)?  What did the observers see that determined the machines were “malfunctioning”?  Where is Harmeet Dhillon, Republican National Committeewoman, who supposedly organized an army of lawyers and observers in the key districts?  And what did she find out? 

Why does it take a week or longer to count your votes?

What proof is there that the election was free and fair?

IN CONCLUSION

To accept the election results in the state of Arizona, you have to start with the voter registration percentages; which are roughly 30% Democrat, 34% Republican, 34% Independent, and 2% Libertarian; then assume there is virtually no “cross-over” voting between Democrats and Republicans due to the deep divide; and believe the Democrats “won” about 21 of those available independent points, while the Republicans were left with only about 12 of those 34 points, a nearly 2:1 ratio. 

IF (that’s a BIG “if”) the vote count was legitimately accurate, there are only three possible explanations logically; many registered Independents now lean left but simply never updated their registration status, or many Independents have been totally brainwashed, or 2 out of every 3 registered independents are actually “closet” Democrats who loyally voted for their beloved party.  These are people who seemingly perceive some degree of shame were they to admit they are Democrats, yet remain staunch in their political convictions, despite the terrible performance of their leaders that directly resulted in their own economic hardships, in a state being overrun by illegal immigrants on their own border.  Given the set of logic-defying circumstances related to that third possibility, I doubt that mindset was significant. 

If the performance of he past two years under Democrat rule had helped the people of Arizona, or anywhere else, you could understand the vote of confidence.  Given the actual poor performance, I’m not buying any notion that 2 out of 3 independents still support Democrat policies in significant numbers.  Therefore, the first two possibilities, in some combination, offer the only logical choice.  There are either a LOT of lazy Independents in Arizona who, at some point, became hard-core Democrats, OR, the election was stolen by Democrat operatives acting as “officials”, probably in Maricopa County.  They TOLD us where the shenanigans occurred, i.e., the actual polling places where the machines “malfunctioned”.  Why doesn’t somebody demand a full audit of the vote count in those precincts?

We the People deserve answers!

(straight from their website):  The Election Integrity Partnership (EIP) was founded about 100 days before the 2020 election, “as a non-partisan coalition to empower the research community, election officials, government agencies, civil society organizations, social media platforms, and others to defend our elections against those who seek to undermine them by exploiting weaknesses in the online information environment.”

This “disinformation bureau” is under the direction of political “observers” (activists?) from the Stanford Internet Observatory and the University of Washington Center for an Informed Public.  Does anyone really believe those “observers” from the ranks of academia are politically neutral?

To help answer that question, here is a statement they published to their site under “About”:  “In recent years, we have seen political actors exploit weaknesses in the evolving information environment to build support for the subversion of election results. In 2016, Russian agents hacked U.S. election infrastructure and, in the weeks leading up to the vote, attempted to simultaneously demotivate Black voters and agitate right-leaning Americans with allegations of an imminent stolen election. In the 2020 U.S. elections, false and misleading online information gave rise to physical and legal challenges to the certification of the election’s results. In 2022, we will once again face such challenges. In the primaries this year, we have already witnessed the recurrence of spurious claims from the 2020 election.” 

(Paine’s Comment): Six years after the 2016 election, they still claim that Russian agents stole the election from Hillary Clinton, a position that has since long been disproven.  Apparently, four years isn’t enough time to edit their website. 

They also claim that the 2020 election fraud, sworn by over 1,000 independent witnesses under penalty of perjury was completely “baseless”.  Nor did I ever see or hear of any evidence that Trump supporters were suppressing black voters and “agitating right-leaning Americans with allegations of an imminent stolen election” in the weeks leading up to the vote.  Maybe “allegations” aren’t designed to “agitate” right-wing extremists.  Maybe those Trump supporters are just bringing facts to light.

All of the NPR claims seem rather biased.  In other words, NO ONE can be trusted.  The entire spectrum of information is permeated by LEFT-wing propaganda.  The DNC can commit any act, unethical or criminal, and get away with it because they are covered by the media on the back-end.  Anyone with conservative viewpoints is vilified, if not completely censored, by the mass media.  AND, the media doesn’t even have to worry about their own integrity because they know most people are useful idiots who believe anything they claim to be true.

The Twitter Files (Twittergate)

As I was wrapping up my vacation on Friday the 2^nd of December, shortly after 6 PM EST, Elon Musk, the new CEO of Twitter, released some internal documents that had been discovered by independent journalist Matt Taibbi.

My plan was to finish up Part II of my series on the mid-term elections, but this bombshell revelation is just too important to set aside.  I’ll get back to the Arizona election results soon after delving into this DNC “scandal of the week”.

We have all known since the New York Post article in October 2020 that Hunter Biden’s “laptop from Hell” was a scandalous expose on the life of President Joe Biden’s son.  There were accusations that the giant social media platforms, Twitter, and Facebook, along with other “news” organizations had buried the story to protect Biden in the days and weeks running up to the 2020 election.  Of course the Biden campaign and their media lap dogs conducted a coordinated cover-up effort for their preferred candidate.  Everybody knows that.  What we didn’t know until now, was how extensive the corruption behind the suppression of the Post’s story had been.

The Staggering Level of Corruption 

What we have learned from the internal documents released by Musk is that high-level Twitter executives, acting without the knowledge of former CEO and founder, Jack Dorsey, who has not been implicated, had direct communications with the FBI and the Biden campaign team, and had been coerced into censoring the Post story.

Taibbi revealed internal company emails dated Oct 24, 2020, just 10 days before the election, that said:

“More to review from the Biden team” along with a list of tweets, to which another exec replied, “handled these”.

Under the guidelines of Twitter’s newly reformed “hacked materials” policy, the social media giant, with influential direction from Vijaya Gadde, head of Legal Policy and Trust, decided they could censor the Post story.  The social media platform locked the Post out of its Twitter account for more than two weeks, claiming the story was based on “hacked information”. 

Twitter’s Deputy General Counsel (since June 2020), Jim Baker, former General Counsel of the FBI from Jan 2014 through Jan 2018, claimed it was “reasonable” to assume the materials were hacked and that “caution is warranted”.  [1]  

Baker was thee Chief Legal Officer (CLO), or top lawyer, in the FBI during the last two years that Joe Biden was Vice President.  You would think a lawyer of that stature, should know a few things about ethics.  Oh wait, Baker had been engaged in an ongoing feud with then President Trump since the month before his hiring at Twitter, when he labeled two tweets by Trump as “misinformation”.  While at the FBI, Baker was deeply involved in the early stages of the investigation into the Russian collusion “scandal”, specifically the FISA warrant application against Carter Page, a one-time Trump campaign aide.  Keep in mind, the FBI knew the entire Russian collusion story was fabricated from the false statements of the Steele dossier, but deceived the FISA Judge into issuing the surveillance warrant four times under false pretenses.  After two years of the Mueller investigation, it was proven the Russia collusion “scandal” was a complete hoax concocted and paid for by the Clinton campaign.  Apparently, Mr. Baker had an axe to grind and now he is a central figure in yet another scheme to cover up the story that many polled voters stated would have changed their decisions in the 2020 election.  But that’s not all.  This is where the “story of the story” gets even “juicier”.

According to Miranda Devine, a journalist for the New York Post, and Author of the book, Laptop from Hell: Hunter Biden, Big Tech, and the Dirty Secrets the President Tried to Hide, claims that the FBI approached Twitter before the story broke in October 2020, and advised/recommended/coerced them to reform their “hacking materials” policy in anticipation of a forthcoming “October surprise” their intelligence agents had determined was classic Russian “disinformation”.  Here we go again.  Does anyone detect a pattern ?  In other words, the FBI preemptively coerced Twitter to censor the story, AND they did so with full knowledge that the laptop was real because they had possession of it for more than a year prior.  You have to wonder whether Mr. Baker had any contacts back at the FBI, or was he the contact “point man” for team Biden.

In any case, it’s clear that the Biden campaign had contact with Twitter, perhaps through Jim Baker, and then used the preeminent law enforcement agency in the world, a government agency, to coerce a private social media company to suppress a story that would obviously harm the ambitions of their candidate to win the presidency.  If Twitter had done that on their own, as a private company, the censorship may have passed the “smell test”, but as soon as the government got involved, it became felonious.  [2] (see 18 U.S. Code § 595)

I’m not a Lawyer, and there is somewhat of a “grey area” within the referenced law, but my interpretation is that the statutory language “in connection with any activity which is financed in whole or in part by loans or grants made by the United States, or any department or agency thereof, . . . “ could include favors granted “in kind”.  In other words, Twitter obliged the Biden team and the FBI by censoring the laptop story, essentially granting them a favor, under coercion, even absent of a cash transaction.  Coercion could be interpreted to mean, act in our interests, or else, threatening events could follow.  If prosecutors can prove coercion, it’s “game over”.  

ADDENDUM: The Smoking Gun, updated 6 Dec 2022  

Watch the full episode at this link https://youtu.be/JTtS0N4fNU8 Scroll forward to the 10:44 timeline, where the mention of Vijaya Gadde begins.  This is the “smoking gun” gotcha moment, where the Biden administration clearly violated18 U.S. Code § 595.  Gadde was overseeing the censorship decision made by Twitter and was then REWARDED by the Biden administration, having been appointed (a form of payback, or a “grant made by the United States” to quote the statute), as an advisor to the Cybersecurity Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), a division of Homeland Security (DHS).  BOOM !

Now what ?  Are We the People going to sit back and wait for things to happen, or are we going to make things happen ?  We have just seen our right to vote disenfranchised TWICE, as the DNC rigged the last two election cycles, and the FBI used by the Democrats as their partisan Secret Police to censor their political opponents.  Then they launched a “save our Democracy” campaign in the last month leading up to the 2022 mid-terms, completely misleading their useful idiot voters into thinking they were the morally righteous party.  I get the feeling that true American Patriots are just as disgusted as I am.  All of a sudden, the phrase “drain the swamp” is more important than ever before.  These perpe-TRAITORS must be eliminated from power as quickly as possible.  ALL of them need to be removed from office and permanently banned from ever holding any position requiring the public trust. 

We the People must act NOW.  That is why I am proposing a petition to be circulated online, to gather signatures supporting impeachment of President Biden and his running mate, Vice President Harris, and a “clean house” effort that involves investigations and indictments of all FBI personnel, and any other agencies involved, who were connected to the Twitter censorship conducted prior to the 2020 election. 

Please share this article as much as you can in the hope that someone has experience in coordinating such a petition campaign.  The more signatures the better.  It will require extremely widespread circulation. 

I would recommend that it be submitted to the incoming Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, which typically has jurisdiction on impeachment.  The Ranking Member is currently Jim Jordan (R-OH), who will likely become Chairman.  The House Oversight Committee, expected to be chaired by James Comer, highlighted in the next chapter, would also be a good recipient, in terms of FBI oversight. 

What Can We the People Expect to Happen ? 

When the 118^th Congress convenes on the 3^rd of January 2023, the House  Committee on Oversight and Reform will be reorganized under Republican control.  It is expected that Ranking Member James Comer (R-KY) will become Committee Chairman, and launch an investigation into the origins and ramifications of the “Twittergate” scandal. 

You’ll see this face in the coming months.

To contact James Comer directly, call his office at (202) 225-3115.  You should be able to speak with one of his aides, even if you are not from Kentucky.  I was able to walk into several Representatives offices during the Trump impeachment hearings and hand deliver a letter.

I’d be willing to bet that they will present compelling evidence that crimes were committed, but nothing will go any further than that because the Democrats still control the Senate and, more importantly, the Department of Justice, headed by another partisan Democrat, Merrick Garland, who was denied confirmation hearings by the Republican controlled Senate when he was nominated for the vacant Supreme Court seat created by the death of Justice Antonin Scalia, near the end of Obama’s second term, has his own axe to grind.  After taking office, Trump nominated Neil Gorsuch to fill that vacancy.

On the other hand, the House investigation could potentially last for two years, by which time the Republicans (a.k.a. the adults) may actually gain control of both chambers of Congress, and replace the current Attorney General with their own nominee who possesses some degree of integrity.  Yeah right.  I almost forgot, they’ll probably steal those elections too.

The Central Premise: Massive Voter Fraud – Part I in a series to be continued

In the wake of the recent mid-term elections, many Americans are asking what happened to the “red wave” ?  Weren’t Republican voters supposed to play their “silent majority” card, vote Democrats out en masse, and take over control of both chambers of Congress ?  This election was to be a referendum on the Biden administration policies, which have obviously been disastrous for every citizen in every state. 

If you put any faith in polls, which I would never recommend, a recent CNN poll found that 72% of likely voters across the nation disapproved of the direction of the country, saying things were going “pretty” or “very” badly, while just 28% of likely voters said things were going “very” or “fairly” well, suggesting “an electorate hungry for a course correction”. [1] 

And yet, “half” the country essentially just voted to support those disastrous policies that are steering us in that direction.  The numbers simply don’t make sense.

Another CNN poll found that Democratic enthusiasm is significantly lower this year than it was leading up to the 2018 mid-terms, when they took control of the House, while Republican enthusiasm shows “greater engagement”.  [2]

Now just 24% of registered Democrats are enthusiastic, down from 44% in 2018.  Among Republicans, the number has dipped narrowly, from 43% to 38%.  To believe those numbers, indicates the Democrats will lose support.  Yet, they didn’t lose any support.  They apparently held strong, so we are presented with an anomaly that begs for an explanation.  Logically, we should consider all the possibilities. 

Was the poll conducted among a random cross-section of likely voters with representation from all political affiliations ?

Were the questions in the survey confusing, or misleading ?

Could respondents have answered disingenuously (lied) for some reason, like to deliberately skew the poll, and if so, could that effort have been coordinated ?

Or, even more disturbingly, was the poll completely fabricated by CNN editors in a deliberate effort to assure Republicans they would win seats comfortably and convince them they could sit this one out, as a voter suppression campaign ?

In other words, don’t assume you can trust CNN to conduct unbiased polling.  

In fact, the entire gamut of publicized predictability of a Republican “red wave” could have been a coordinated campaign directed by the DNC.  Remember, high-ranking Democrats have close ties to media big-wigs, and never forget, there is nothing they wouldn’t do and we know they have zero integrity.

I’m not claiming it’s that evil.  I’m just saying it’s possible.  Otherwise, somebody should explain how more than 7 in every 10 honest respondents disapprove of the direction of the country, but then less than a week later, vote FOR it to continue.

Unless you live off-grid with no utilities, in a crime-free zone, grow all your own food, have a strong, steady source of income that doesn’t require you to go anywhere for readily available supplies, and your children are home-schooled, you have been negatively impacted by the Democrats war on American energy.  Everything runs on fossil fuels and everything you need costs more as a direct result of Biden’s policies.  To continue to support the Democrat party after two years of run-away inflation, sky-rocketing gas prices, rampant crime waves across most of our formerly beautiful cities, and the border invasion, is a clear indication that your mind is not functioning in your own best interests.

Why would anyone vote for such a disastrous agenda ?

And yet, it appears that millions of voters across the country have done just that.

One generalization, based on actual history, is that whenever the President is enduring unfavorable approval ratings and his policies aren’t working, the party not in power almost always gains in the mid-term elections.  Such is certainly the case for the past two years, which is why the Republican party was expected to take control of the House and the Senate by defeating Democrats in vulnerable races.  The results do NOT reflect the prevailing sentiment, nor the historical tendencies.  Yes, they gained control of the House, by a very slim margin, but the Democrats didn’t lose a single seat in the Senate.  How is that possible, given the dismal performance of the Biden administration ?  We the People want to know what happened. 

In order to analyze the election results, I need to start with a few guiding principles based on obvious and reasonable assumptions.

Firstly, we are now divided more than at any time since the Civil War, and it’s extremely unlikely that there will be any significant “cross-over” voting from either side.  I’d say the probability is near zero.

Secondly, in general, throughout the country, the Democrats and Republicans each register between 30-40% of the electorate, while the remainder are either Independent, or of a minor political party affiliation.  In any given election, the Democrats and Republicans are competing for the Independent votes.  With the deep division that we are now experiencing, this premise is reinforced, not weakened. 

Thirdly, knowing that each side is firmly entrenched, we can logically say that the voter registration rolls are baseline numbers from which each side can build, drawing on the Independent voters, and that it would be virtually impossible for either side to lose numbers from their respective bases due to the significant numbers of Independent voters.  The actual voter registration numbers and percentages are therefore the established baselines on a state-by-state basis.

If you trust the election results, Republicans will gain control of the House by only a few seats, and have gained no ground in the Senate races, perhaps even losing a seat after the Georgia run-off is conducted.  But those first six words are the key to this topic, “IF you trust the election results . . .”.

“Those who vote decide nothing.  Those who count the vote decide everything.”

  —  Joseph Stalin, Soviet Dictator (1924-1953)

I’m going to attempt to convince as many people as possible that, once again, just as they did in the 2020 Presidential election, the DNC has committed massive voter fraud in key battleground states.  This time, it was enough to hold power of the Senate.  It’s incredible that almost no one is talking about it, not even the biggest conservative media platforms.  Are they afraid they’ll be perceived as conspiracy theorists, election deniers, and have their own integrity destroyed by the establishment media ?  They act as if the election results are cannot be questioned. 

On the contrary.  Liars can figure but figures don’t lie.  When we examine the numbers closely, they just don’t reconcile with common sense in some areas, those key “battlegrounds” where fraud has likely been committed.  Sure, most states seem to have conducted free and fair elections, but have they all ?

Keep in mind, they only need to operate in a few places to swing the balance of power, and that’s where they have set up elaborate schemes to disenfranchise the sacred voting rights of tens of millions of American citizens.  I called the 2020 election thee most heinous crime in American history, for that reason.  When you nullify our vote, you have taken our citizenship, and converted us to subjects without representation or recourse.  Many crimes are gruesome indeed, but no crime is that vile.

Then I predicted the DNC would do it again in 2022, because they “worked” so hard to steal power in 2020, and they weren’t about to give it up easily.  Sure enough, it appears they have done it again, which is the central premise of this series.  What makes anyone think they are going to stop ?

The key states of Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, and Pennsylvania all deserve intense scrutiny, but I’m going to focus on Arizona and Nevada, where the most prominent “red flags” arose.  I’ll cover those two states in dedicated articles that will follow in the coming days/weeks (sorry but I’m about to depart on a 10-day vacation), then try to wrap up this series with a fourth part that rhetorically asks ‘what are we to do now?’.
