Restoring Election Integrity: The One And Only Way To Save America From Tyranny And Destruction

by David Kupelian
December 5, 2021

Restoring Election Integrity

One year before the 2022 midterm elections, the United States of America, long the freest, most powerful and most successful nation on earth, is on the brink of total meltdown.

Power-obsessed politicians in thrall to a bizarre, quasi-religious ideology, seemingly oblivious to the destruction and suffering they’re causing, daily implement new agendas that crush America’s great middle class, her economy and her most hallowed institutions.

Staging this revolution from behind their shockingly senile puppet president, Joe Biden, they have fomented a full-scale invasion of the U.S. mainland, mandated that tens of millions of citizens be injected with an experimental new drug or lose their livelihoods, and heedlessly created Third World-style inflation, shortages, poverty, drug addiction and runaway crime. And they’re just getting started.

Ironically, America’s current ruling elites hate the very nation they govern, daily condemning it as irredeemably racist, when in reality it is indisputably the least racist nation in human history.

Ignoring reality at every turn, they manifest an abiding contempt for biology, the lessons of history, the fundamental laws of economics, the transcendent value of human life, and especially, for God and His laws.

On top of all this, their current figureheads – Joe Biden and Kamala Harris – are unlikable, meanspirited, pathologically dishonest, and in Biden’s case cognitively disintegrating in real time before the entire world. Harris is so singularly repellant that the Biden administration has essentially kept her hidden since Day 1 and her top staffers are quitting in droves.

So phantasmagoric has 2021 become, Team Biden appears to be engaged in an “Alice in Wonderland”-type intramural competition to determine who in the administration can be the most deranged: Biden is winning, with his straight-faced claims that his planned multi-trillion-dollar spending orgy “costs zero dollars” and will reduce inflation. But Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is giving him stiff competition with his assertion that many of America’s highways and bridges are racist, as is Vice President Kamala Harris, who recently asked NASA if it can possibly “track trees” by race to assure “environmental justice.”

No wonder every recent poll shows voters of both parties are running away, as fast as possible, from Biden and Harris. As USA Today reported in early November, “The approval ratings for President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have reached dismal new lows, according to a stunning, just-released poll. In a survey published Sunday by USA Today, the president’s approval rating stands at just 38 percent. … The vice president fared equally poorly in the new poll. USA Today found that just 28 percent of those surveyed approve of Kamala Harris at the moment.”

Thus, for the ascendent Democratic Party, every bit as addicted to power as a drug addict is to heroin or fentanyl, the only question is: How can Democrats possibly retain their power in light of the growing awareness among the American electorate that their current leaders are basically insane? How, they ask themselves, can they not only avoid losing control of the U.S. Congress in the November 2022 election, but also continue to elect and re-elect Democrats as governors, state legislators, secretaries of state, mayors, Soros-funded district attorneys and other vital down-ballot positions?

In light of voters’ ever-decreasing approval of them, there’s only one conceivable solution for Democrats.

Cheating.

That’s right: Rigging elections. Voter fraud. Changing the rules. Big Tech censorship.

Demonizing Voter ID laws. Exploiting every conceivable opportunity to enable, abet, promote, excuse and encourage election-related fraud and abuse in its myriad and ever-expanding forms, all the while vehemently denying it even when caught red-handed, and simultaneously accusing everyone demanding fair elections of being “white supremacists” and “violent extremists” intent on “voter suppression” and implementing “Jim Crow 2.0.”

And yet, for leaders of today’s Democratic Party, every bit of this – from outright fraud to the demonization of opponents – is perfectly moral, according to their worldview.

That’s because, in the inverted moral universe of the far left, everything is its opposite, just as in Orwell’s “1984” where “WAR IS PEACE,” “FREEDOM IS SLAVERY” and “IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH.” In Biden’s 2021, men are women, concerned parents speaking up at school-board meetings are terrorists, and color-blind meritocracy is systemic racism.

But most essential to the Democrats’ secret love affair with election fraud, Donald J. Trump – who accomplished more good for the nation and its people than any president in a generation, restoring America’s economy, getting control of its southern border, defending life in the womb, and courageously deterring aggression in an increasingly treacherous world – is the new Adolf Hitler in their eyes.

It matters not that Hitler murdered 11 million and Trump murdered zero. For four years, top Democrats and their media mouthpieces continually likened Trump to “Hitler,” his administration to “the Third Reich,” ICE officers to “Nazi guards,” border detainment facilities to “concentration camps,” and the National Guard soldiers to “stormtroopers” and “the Gestapo.”

Why? Because if one were truly fighting Hitler, then cheating, lying, deception and even stronger measures would not only be morally permissible, they would become a moral imperative.

This, then, is the key to understanding how Democrats can feel morally justified in enabling and encouraging election fraud – which is both a crime, and a mortal assault on the most essential foundation of a civilized society: They literally regard their opponents as evil. As legendary columnist Charles Krauthammer put it, “To understand the workings of American politics, you have to understand this fundamental law: Conservatives think liberals are stupid. Liberals think conservatives are evil.”

To sum up: As evidenced by the outcome of the recent elections in Virginia, today’s radicalized Democrats are now recognized by a majority of voters to be so dangerous to the republic that there is no way they can stay in power without cheating.

If they remain in power, America will rapidly become even more unrecognizable, a nightmarish shadow of the magnificent, powerful and liberty-loving nation it once was.

Here’s the good news: If America can manage to assure that elections are truly fair going forward, the maniacal Marxist revolutionaries will have to go away and the nation can then return to sanity and healing.

Thus, election integrity is more important than any other issue. It is literally the singular key to whether America lives or dies.

Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich says an electoral “tsunami” is coming next year.
Maybe. But only if the elections are fair.

Serious allegations have surfaced that top executives at Florida Power & Light (FPL)—a subsidiary of NextEra, the world’s largest utility company—worked closely with political consultants to devise a “ghost” candidate scheme to interfere in three critical state Senate elections last year, according to documents obtained by the Orlando Sentinel.

Records reveal that FPL was billed for more than $3 million by the dark money nonprofit Grow United, Inc. to allegedly fund a strategy to promote spoiler candidates during the 2020 election in an apparent attempt to help Republican candidates retain control of the 40-member Florida Senate. Reports reveal funds from Grow United were used to promote independent candidates in three races—South Florida’s Districts 37 and 39 and District 9 in Central Florida.

At the same time, documents show FPL has donated over $10 million in recent years to other dark-money nonprofits operated by some of the same consultants. Notably, documents suggest FPL President and CEO Eric Silagy personally coordinated with the consultants on campaign contributions made through the nonprofits.

Discovered by former FPL contractor Matrix, LLC, the cache of unearthed records covered roughly the time frame of 2016 to 2020 and included bank statements, emails, texts, invoices, internal ledgers, and more. In early November, records pointing out “potential unlawful conduct” were sent to NextEra Chairman and CEO Jim Robo. A partially redacted copy of the investigative summary was also sent anonymously to The Sentinel.

Robo.jpg

Screenshot / Orlando Sentinel; A summary of an internal investigation by Alabama firm Matrix LLC was sent in early November to James “Jim” Robo, the chairman of Florida Power & Light’s parent company, NextEra Energy Inc. It accused several senior FPL executives of potentially illegal activities.

Despite the recent revelations, FPL—the regulated monopoly who recently joined NextEra in the decision to mandate COVID-19 vaccines for the nearly 15,000 workers employed by the utility giant—swiftly denied any wrongdoing. FPL spokesperson Davis P. Reuter issued a statement denouncing any involvement by the utility giant in the ghost candidate scheme, declaring:

“Neither FPL nor our employees provided funding or asked any third party to provide funding on its behalf to Grow United in support of Florida state-level political campaigns during the 2020 election cycle. Any report or suggestion that we had involvement in, financially supported, or directed others to support any ‘ghost’ candidates during the 2020 election cycle is patently false, and we have found absolutely no evidence of any legal wrongdoing by FPL or its employees.”

1638830591556.png


Since the discovery of FPL’s apparent involvement, The Sentinel reports that Alabama-based Matrix LLC has sued its former CEO and several ex-employees, “accusing them of conspiring with a Florida-based client to work on secret projects and cheat Matrix out of fees. The company’s former CEO has countersued, accusing Matrix’s owner of extortion.”

Meanwhile, prosecutors in Miami, who have been investigating the dubious scheme for some time, have uncovered widespread ties between several influential business interests in Florida and the dark-money consultants behind the plot. Specifically, the latest trove of information exposes FPL’s intimate involvement in the scheme.

However, with Grow United, apparently created with FPL in mind, the records obtained anonymously by The Sentinel reveal the company also spends millions “behind the scenes supporting seemingly disconnected groups that are used to influence public policy and elections.” While none of the records sent to the paper show FPL donating straight to Grow United, they do reveal that consultants controlling Grow United billed FPL for millions in September 2020, right before they started moving money through the dark-money nonprofit.

FPL-millions.jpg


Screenshot / The Orlando Sentinel; In a Sept. 12, 2020, text to a pair of Matrix LLC employees, Democratic consultant Dan Newman sent a picture of a $1.25 million check from Florida Power & Light to his consulting company, ENH Industries, along with the message, “The Eagle has landed.”

Besides allegedly tampering with Florida’s 2020 elections, records indicate FPL donated $14.5 million in 2018 to the dark-money group Mothers for Moderation. The ledger shows the donation represented almost all of the money raised by the group that year. Furthermore, the internal ledger for Mothers for Moderation—accompanied by copies of corresponding checks, monthly bank statements, and letters to Silagy soliciting millions from FPL—shows ten deposits in 2018, six of which are from FPL. The deposits total $15,335,000.

Mothers.jpg


Screenshot / The Orlando Sentinel; A November 2018 letter from the dark-money nonprofit Mothers for Moderation, one of several soliciting millions from Florida Power & Light via its CEO, Eric Silagy. Records show FPL donated $14.15 million to Mothers for Moderation in 2018, nearly all of the money the dark-money group raised that year.

Explained in great detail by The Sentinel, prosecutors in Miami have been investigating the dubious scheme for some time. They have uncovered widespread ties between several influential business interests in Florida and the dark-money consultants behind the plot.

Specifically, this latest trove of information exposes FPL’s intimate involvement in the scheme.

For years, FPL has been a top spender on lobbying and public campaign contributions. The Florida Senate is essential to the utility’s prosperity because the Senate must confirm the governor’s appointments to the Public Service Commission—a body that recently voted to allow FPL to raise rates by nearly $5 billion over the next four years.

Former D.C. National Guard official says generals lied to Congress about Jan. 6

Col. Earl Matthews calls military leaders "absolute liars" over their accounts of riot
Updated: December 6, 2021 - 10:04am

A former member of the D.C. National Guard has accused two Army leaders of perjuring themselves before Congress in an attempt to rewrite the history of the military's response to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

Col. Earl Matthews, a high-level Pentagon official during the Trump administration, has authored a 36-page report criticizing the Pentagon's inspector general for what he believes is an error-riddled account created in order to protect a top Army official who argued against sending the National Guard to the Capitol, according to Politico.

In the memo, Matthews calls Gen. Charles Flynn and Lt. Gen. Walter Piatt "absolute and unmitigated liars" for their description of the events of Jan. 6. On the day of the riot, Matthews was serving as the top attorney for Maj. Gen. William Walker, then the commanding general of the D.C. National Guard. Walker is now the House sergeant at arms.

The memo argues that Flynn and Piatt's testimonies to Congress were "replete with factual inaccuracies" and that the Army has attempted to create its own revisionist version of the events of the day that are "worthy of the best Stalinist or North Korea propagandist."

The memo comes after a public call from Walker for the inspector general to retract its detailed Jan. 6 report, which he called "inaccurate" and filled with "sloppy work."

"Absolute And Unmitigated Liars": Former DC National Guard Official Says Generals Fabricated January 6th Account


MONDAY, DEC 06, 2021 - 03:30 PM

A former DC National Guard official has accused two senior Army officials of lying to Congress about the circumstances surrounding the January 6th Capitol riot in order to protect a top Army official who didn't want to send the Guard to the Capitol, Politico reports.



In a 36-page memo sent to the Jan. 6 select committee this month, Col. Earl Matthews - who held high-level National Security Council and Pentagon positions under Trump - accused Army General Charles Flynn and Lt. Gen. Walter Piatt of being "absolute and unmitigated liars" for how they characterized the events of Jan. 6.

Of note, Flynn served as deputy chief of staff for operations on Jan. 6, while Matthews was serving as the top attorney to Maj. Gen. William Walker - then commanding general of the DC National Guard. Matthews was in a unique position to know what happened that day.
Matthews’ memo defends the Capitol attack response by Walker, who now serves as the House sergeant at arms, amplifying Walker's previous congressional testimony about the hourslong delay in the military’s order for the D.C. National Guard to deploy to the riot scene. -Politico
Matthews accuses Flynn and Piatt of lying to Congress about how they responded to urgent requests for the DC guard to be quickly deployed, and claims that the Pentagon inspector general's November report on the attack was "replete with factual inaccuracies."

He says the Army has created its own 'closely held' revisionist document regarding the riot that's "worthy of the best Stalinist or North Korea propagandist.'

"Every leader in the D.C. Guard wanted to respond and knew they could respond to the riot at the seat of government," reads the memo.

Instead of responding, however, DC guard officials "set [sic] stunned watching in the Armory" while the attack unfolded for two hours during the certification of the 2020 election results.
The memo follows Walker’s own public call for the inspector general to retract its detailed report on the events of Jan. 6, as first reported by The Washington Post. Walker told the Post he objected to specific allegations by the Pentagon watchdog that Matthews’ memo also criticizes, calling the inspector general’s report “inaccurate” and “sloppy work.” -Politico
What actually went down, according to Matthews:
The memo says that at 2:30 p.m. on January 6, Matthews and Walker were on a conference call with senior military and law enforcement officials, in which then-Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund "pleaded" for the immediate deployment of the National Guard to the Capitol after rioters breached the perimeter.

Piatt and Flynn denied the request.
"LTG Piatt stated that it would not be his best military advice to recommend to the Secretary of the Army that the D.C. National Guard be allowed to deploy to the Capitol at that time,"

Matthews wrote, adding: "LTGs Piatt and Flynn stated that the optics of having uniformed military personnel deployed to the U.S. Capitol would not be good."

Instead, Piatt and Flynn suggested that the Guardsmen serve as de-facto DC police traffic control officers so that the cops could attend to the Capitol.

In another document obtained by Politico, Piatt and Flynn "recommended for DC Guard to standby" at 2:37 p.m. rather than immediately deploying to the Capitol during the riot.

Four minutes later, Flynn again "advised D.C. National Guard to standby until the request has been routed" to then-Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy as well as then-acting Defense Secretary Chris Miller.

Matthews says everyone on the call was "astounded."

Piatt and Flynn then lied to Congress - denying that they had said the Guard shouldn't deploy to the Capitol.

According to Matthews, they committed "outright perjury."

BREAKING: J6 Attorney: Undercover Law Enforcement Officer Passed Out Weapons to J6 Protesters So They Could Get Arrested – Clear Entrapment (VIDEO)

By Jim Hoft
Published December 6, 2021 at 10:23pm
jan-6.jpg


J6 Attorney Joseph McBride joined Tucker Carlson on Monday night to discuss the ongoing persecution of the Jan. 6 protesters by the Biden regime.

McBride is representing several January 6th prisoners. He went on to discuss the video footage he saw from inside the US Capitol “tunnel” on the afternoon of January 6th. McBride also is looking for several federal operatives who were observed that day.

McBride accused agent “Red-faced 45” with entrapping Trump supporters that day.

redfaced-45-mcbride.jpg


Joseph McBride: Let me just call one of these people out. Someone who was tagged on the internet by “Sedition Hunters” as Red-Faced 45. This is someone who is dressed in Trump gear, in MAGA gear. He’s covered in gear from head to toe. His face is painted MAGA red. He has a Trump hat on a Make America Great Again hat. Yet, he is clearly a law enforcement officer.

He interacts with uniformed personnel. He interacts with agents in the crowd. He passes out weapons, sledgehammers, poles, mace. Some of those things come in contact with some of the other protesters who have subsequently been charged with possessing dangerous weapons and are using dangerous weapons at the Capitol. That is clearly entrapment.

That is clearly the government creating conditions of dangerousness and entrapping members of the crowd to possess weapons and possibly use them for reasons that we cannot comprehend.

BREAKING HUNTER BIDEN LAPTOP BLUE LIGHT SPECIAL: Audio Reveals Walmart Chairman Discussed With Hunter Biden ‘Pulling The Trigger To Stop Trump’ Prior To Election

by Christine DolanDecember 6, 20212939413
p.jpeg
Greg Penner, Walmart Chairman

The Robert Hunter Biden (RHB) laptop from Hell is the political gift that keeps on giving to the American public, and to those opposed to the Biden administration.

CDMedia has been provided with evidence that documents a conversation between the President’s son, Hunter Biden, and the Chairman of the Board of the Walmart Corporation, America’s biggest brick and mortar retail chain. The conversation took place in October of 2018.

The question is – why did Hunter Biden tape a conversation between Greg Penner, Chairman of Walmart/Madrone Capitol, in 2018? The conversation was planned via email/sms message and the audio is below.

Walmart Chairman Greg Penner discussing with Hunter Biden 'pulling the trigger' to stop Trump 9:11 min

The audio file was found in the iTunes folder on the RHB laptop, which was concealed by the FBI for a year before being delivered to the New York Post, which posted some of its salacious content. However, a close examination of the massive numbers of files on the computer have struck political gold.

iTunes-file-info.jpg


The audio transcript shows a discussion of ‘pulling the trigger’ to influence the 2020 election, to stop President Trump and the Trump movement, in addition to influencing the Democratic primary.

(2:20) RHB: “Overall objective here is to stop, not only Donald Trump, but to stem the tide of
what Donald Trump represents.”

RHB Laptop contains e-mails in which:'

a. RHB asked to discuss a confidential matter with Penner, stating “That’s best not to be done by text or email.” (11 August 2017)

Email-11-Aug-2017.jpg


b. In a solicitation email Greg Penner asks RHB to “…visit with you about some options I’ve been working on for the 2020 election…”. (6 April 2018)

Email-6-Apr-2018.jpg


RHB Laptop contains SMS text between Greg Penner and RHB (16 March 2019) with RHB stating:

“He is available tomorrow after 4pm EST if you are. He looks forward to speaking and would gladly meet whenever your schedule and his allows. Give me call [sic] so I can fill you in on at least my reasons for not replying to you until now. Best, Hunter”

SMS-16-Mar-2019.jpg

Penner offers for “John” (??) to meet with Joe Biden. RHB insinuates it would be “too dangerous for John” and Joe Biden to meet.

Additionally, RHB states, in the call with Greg Penner, that he was approached by Nick Rohatyn (Chairman of TRG (aka Rohatyn Group)) as a secondary option to handle the “situation”.

Walmart has a reputation of sourcing cheap goods from China and destroying small town mom-and-pop retailers across the nation. A Walmart heiress also funded The Lincoln Project, a supposed GOP anti-Trump group that was scandalized after the election.

Walmart was shamed post-2020 election mocking Trump supporters in a tweet regarding the election integrity fight.

Greg Penner was on the board of Baidu, a Chinese company for 14 years until 2017.
Penner graduated from the same class at Georgetown University in 1992 as Hunter Biden.

There are many benefits to being a multi-billion corporation with major supply chain functions in China. Having Hillary Clinton as a Board Member (p77 Clinton discusses Hillary being on the board, and she was silent when Walmart fought unions), being able to stay open during a “Pandemic” when small businesses were forced to close and having the ability to “fortify” an election when it is beneficial to your business with China.

CDMedia has reached out to Greg Penner at Madrone Capital and as of publication has yet to received a reply.

Full disclosure. Christine Dolan who is CDM.press Senior Editor and Chief Investigative Correspondent is a Georgetown University graduate. She has worked with four US networks, served as CNN Political Director, covered three wars, and all faces of human trafficking globally for almost 22 years.

The Demonization of Rosanne Boyland Begins
Boyland may not have many defenders at this point, but the truth eventually will do the talking for her.

By Julie Kelly
ag-mark_90833ec2.svg

December 6, 2021

Yet another lie animating the phony narrative about the events at the Capitol complex on January 6 is about to be exposed: the falsehood that Rosanne Boyland, a Trump supporter from Georgia, died of an accidental drug overdose that day.

As American Greatness has reported for months, incriminating video footage and firsthand witness accounts instead support numerous allegations that D.C. Metro and Capitol police contributed to, if they did not directly cause, Boyland’s death in the late afternoon of January 6.

Boyland’s family reportedly has hired an attorney to investigate the circumstances of her death at the age of 34; the D.C Medical Examiner’s Office issued a report in April disclosing the cause of death of four Trump supporters who died on January 6 during what the coroner called “an unprecedented incident of civil insurrection.” It determined Boyland had succumbed to “acute amphetamine intoxication.”

But it’s increasingly obvious that the ruling is untrue. (The same D.C. Medical Examiner’s office intentionally delayed the results of Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick’s autopsy; even after confirming Sicknick had died of a stroke caused by blood clots, the coroner nonetheless insisted the chaos at the Capitol protest “played a role in his condition.”)

With the potential release of three hours of security camera footage that recorded exactly what happened inside the lower west terrace tunnel—the location where Boyland died—on January 6, law enforcement officials could face fierce public scrutiny for their behavior that day. It’s only a slice of the 14,000 hours of surveillance video captured by the Capitol Police department’s closed-circuit television system that Joe Biden’s Justice Department is hiding under protective orders, deemed “highly sensitive” government material.

There’s a good reason why. Court filings detail shocking instances of police brutality including the use of a noxious gas that caused people to vomit and pass out; beatings by some officers using weapons and their own fists; and at least one officer dragging Boyland’s lifeless body, face up, back through the tunnel to hide her from public view until paramedics arrived.

If the footage is released, new questions will be raised about police misconduct and whether the use of suffocating chemical sprays and excessive force, not a drug overdose, killed Rosanne Boyland.

So the media, MSNBC in particular, is of course running cover for Democrats in advance of any bombshell news possibly linking D.C.-area police to the death of another unarmed female Trump supporter during the Capitol protest. MSNBC host Ayman Mohyeldin has produced a five-part podcast called “American Radical,” which figuratively exhumes Boyland’s body and performs a twisted political autopsy on her views and activity leading up to January 6.

Dead men, as Mohyeldin knows, tell no tales—nor can they defend themselves against vile hit jobs by careerist left-wing activists disguised as journalists. (Mohyeldin, who emigrated to the United States from Egypt as a child, has found himself in hot water on a number of occasions after making inflammatory comments on-air, such as accusing the late Chris Kyle, a decorated Navy SEAL and expert sniper, of being a racist and for erroneously reporting that a Palestinian was unarmed when he was shot by Israeli police.)

Having covered global terrorism for NBC News and Al-Jazeera for two decades, Mohyeldin boasts that he is using his expertise to analyze the motives of a deceased Donald Trump supporter. In his first episode, “Who Killed Rosanne Boyland?” Mohyeldin compares Boyland to an international terrorist. MSNBC’s message is that Boyland, an alleged domestic terrorist “radicalized” by Donald Trump and other nefarious influences, deserved her fate.

This, by the way, is the same media playbook immediately employed in the aftermath of the killing of Ashli Babbitt by Lt. Michael Byrd on January 6.

Coincidentally, Mohyeldin went to high school in Boyland’s hometown of Kennesaw, Georgia. A few days after the Capitol protest, Boyland’s brother-in-law contacted Mohyeldin, a former classmate, via Facebook message. “My wife and I believe she was radicalized in a very short time, inside of six months,” Justin Cave, husband of Lonna, Rosanne’s sister, wrote to Mohyeldin on January 9. “Would you like to hear her story?”

Cave, a former HGTV host, gave a statement the day after Boyland died claiming “the president’s words and rhetoric incited a riot (Wednesday) that killed four of his biggest fans” and said Trump should be removed under the 25th Amendment.

It is difficult to understand why Boyland’s family, including her sisters and both parents, participated in such a vile hit job—please instruct your loved ones right now not to solicit MSNBC activists to write your post-mortem. But Mohyeldin’s work apart from getting the woman’s family to betray her memory, consists of knitting together random comments and observations to paint a sinister profile of someone whose family members otherwise describe as an attentive, affectionate, generous, and kind young woman rebuilding her life seven years after kicking her addiction problems.

“This is ‘American Radical,’ the story of how one woman became a foot soldier in one of the most dangerous movements in America,” Mohyeldin warns. He’s referring to QAnon, an online “cult” centered around an unknown source known as “Q” who allegedly had an inside track to Trump’s White House. QAnon adherents believe powerful pedophiles in government and Hollywood run global child sex trafficking rings and that Trump eventually would expose them all.

The corporate left-wing media blames QAnon for promoting any number of “conspiracy theories,” including the idea the 2020 election was rigged—a reality confirmed in February in a long exposé published by Time magazine.

Mohyeldin not only cites Boyland’s alleged fascination with Q as evidence of her “radicalization,” but also her sudden support of Donald Trump in 2020 and, of course, her new interest in watching Fox News.

Boyland’s transformation, her younger sister told Mohyeldin, “happened so quickly, going from being a totally apolitical person to dying for Trump.”

Perhaps we can write off Boyland’s sister’s inflammatory remark to the haze that comes in the wake of anger and grief—it’s unclear when the interview took place and the family is now demanding answers about exactly what happened. There is no question, however, that the media is running with that vicious narrative.

Rosanne Boyland, according to shameless propagandists like Mohyeldin and his NBC News handlers, deserved to die. She is not entitled to compassion; her death should not fuel public outrage or sympathy.

When the full circumstances of her tragic death are revealed, including the direct involvement of dirty cops, the corporate media will instruct their own cult-like followers to justify her killing at the hands of police. Celebrity cops who inhumanely handled her body in an attempt to conceal the evidence still will be praised as heroes. Members of the January 6 select committee will ignore the scandal; Republicans in Congress again will remain silent in the face of more government malfeasance tied to the Capitol protest.

Rosanne Boyland is a victim—and not of Donald Trump or QAnon. She’s a victim of the Left’s insatiable bloodlust for Trump supporters; the Democratic Party’s propaganda organ otherwise known as the national news media; and sadly, even her own family, who seemed at the time desperate to distance themselves from the political views of their maligned loved one.

Mohyeldin knows “who killed Rosanne Boyland.” The title of his first episode is a ruse, a way to brainwash his audience into accepting his conspiracy theories that place blame on everyone except the guilty parties.

Boyland may not have many defenders at this point, but the truth eventually will do the talking for her. And MSNBC’s contemptible smear campaign against her is the clearest proof yet that they know the truth is coming.

Wisconsin Republicans May Put Voting Changes on Ballot — Democrat Governor Insists This Is Unnecessary and It’s Time to Move On

By Jim Hoft
Published December 7, 2021 at 9:32am

Republicans in Wisconsin may put a number of common-sense election proposals before the voters. Former President Donald Trump spokesperson Hogan Gidley recently spoke to Wisconsin Republicans about putting several election changes on the ballot.

The move would sideline Governor Tony Evers who allowed massive election irregularities and fraud to take place in the state in the 2020 election.

Hogan Gidley

The Democrat Governor insists it’s time to move on and allow the cheating to resume.


WISN reported:
A proposal from some Wisconsin Republicans to put a number of election proposals before Wisconsin voters is receiving national attention.

A recording obtained by the Associated Press highlighted the effort, capturing former President Donald Trump spokesperson Hogan Gidley telling a group last week he’s now working with Wisconsin Republicans to put several election changes on the ballot.

“I think it’s one of the things they like best about the options here in Wisconsin,” Bill McCoshen said, a lobbyist and head of the Common Sense Wisconsin policy board. “And let’s face it – this takes Gov. Evers right out of the picture in Wisconsin.”

McCoshen said he recently met with Gidley, who is now director of the Center for Election Integrity at the American First Policy Institute.

McCoshen’s proposal would put several proposals to a constitutional amendment and tighten several election laws, including ensuring universal early voting hours and prohibiting the use of private funds to help administer the election.

“Election integrity is by far the number one issue for Republican voters, and that’s not likely to change anytime in the next 12 months,” McCoshen said…

…It would eliminate the power of any governor to veto the measures, like in legislation Evers has already rejected.

“I’d be disappointed,” Evers said Monday. “That’s an over-reach. We have a system that works. Let’s move on.”

“I Have Been Incarcerated for Nearly a Year for Crimes I Did Not Commit” – Courageous Jan. 6 Political Prisoner Jessica Watkins Speaks Out Against the Regime

By Jim Hoft
Published December 7, 2021 at 10:46am
jessica-watkins.jpg

Jessica Watkins was arrested in January after she turned herself in to federal authorities and was charged with conspiracy, entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds, and other charges. She has not been out of pre-trial detention for 9 months.

Jessica Watkins, a former Army Ranger and veteran of the Afghanistan War, attended the January 6th protest and rally at the White House Ellipse and the US Capitol. She was reportedly working as security at the Ellipse and met with US officials before the president’s speech. She is also a member of the Oathkeepers, a pro-Constitution group frequently maligned by the liberal media and Democrat politicians.

During the siege of the US Capitol Jessica Watkins did not threaten anyone, did not vandalize anything, encourage others not to vandalize, spoke with several police officers inside the Capitol, and followed their orders.

From her court documents:

watkins-arrest.jpg


The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Jessica Watkins was stripped and left naked in a jail cell for four days with the lights on 24 hours a day for her alleged “crimes” of “conspiring to attack the US Capitol building on January 6.”

Watkins shared her official testimony with The Gateway Pundit. Here is an excerpt:
January 6th is akin to a Swiss Army Knife, a barely effective tool that has served many purposes to the Democrat Party. Each function has found itself a niche use within the narrative spun by those who seek only to remain in power, a One Party system henceforth referred to as “The Party”. Being Marxists, the name is befitting.

The first purpose of January 6th has served as its primary function: to silence the opposition, and instill fear of retribution by Law Enforcement for speaking out against ”The Party”, and to slander Conservatives as racists, terrorists and insurrectionists.

The second purpose of January 6th is to solidify the notion that the 2020 election was devoid of fraud.

The third is to secure funding for, and to expand Federal Law Enforcement.

The fourth is to weaponize the Department of Justice against Constitutionally protected militia groups, undermine their legitimacy, use fear to prevent new members from joining and to encourage old members to quit so as to further erode the 2nd Amendment.

The fifth is to make a spectacle of Republican leadership by dragging them before Congress in the Jan 6 Select Committee.

The sixth and most desired affect of January 6th is to attack Donald Trump, impeach him, and attempt to bar him from reelection in the future.

Each of these uses has allowed January 6th to serve the narrative of ”The Party” successfully and has been allowed to persist unabated. The truth about January 6 has still yet to be fully understood by America.

My name is Jessica Watkins, and I am a January 6th defendant. I have been incarcerated nearly a year for crimes I did not commit, so as to serve as a pawn for ”The Party” to exploit. And exploit they have.

When I was 18, I joined the Army and served as a Paratrooper in a Ranger Battalion and served in Afghanistan in 2002. After the Army, I felt a need to serve but did not return to the military and instead joined a Fire Department where I served as a Firefighter, EMT, and Rescue Technician. Some years later, I started a small business with my fiance, a Bar and Grille that barely survived the COVID Lockdowns.

The events of 2020 were chaotic, and with the leftist riots in the streets plunging our nation nearly to a state of Civil War, I felt duty bound to protect the innocent, so once again I served my nation: protecting businesses, helping the injured, and coordinated with Law Enforcement. I have been threatened by the BLM/Antifa mobs, been assaulted by them, and still I served time and again to protect the lives, businesses and homes of strangers – many of which were themselves minorities.

After the 2020 Election, I continued to serve – to protect innocents from violent assaults by left wing anarchists. In November 2020, innocent Patriots were savagely attacked without repercussions in the streets of DC. In December, four Proud Boys were stabbed by Antifa, one of whom lost a kidney and nearly died. It is these events that led me to attend the Rally on January 6th, 2021.

While I decline to offer specifics about the nature of my case, what I can attest to is the reality of January 6th that has yet to be fully appreciated by the American public: January 6th was not one single protest, but three separate events. The first event is the speech given by our President at the Ellipse. The second is the rally at the Capitol Building on the East Side. The third, is the infamous scene from the West Side of the Capitol Building. The first was calm. The second, virtually entirely peaceful. The third was the infamous scene now known incorrectly as “The Insurrection”, an unfounded, improper colloquialism adopted by Left Wing media.

Having seen videos yet unavailable to the public, I can attest to the improper responses of Police that led to the spiral of events that culminated in a riot.
Indeed, January 6th amounts to little more than a riot that was ultimately incited by Police. The media draws much attention to the “deadly nature” of January 6th, but glosses over the reality that 4 protesters were killed as a result of the Police responses.

People were pushed off balconies, protesters shot in the face with rubber bullets, women and elderly beaten, teargas and flashbangs thrown into a peaceful crowd.
Roseanne Boyland was savagely beaten to death and trampled by Police. Ashli Babbitt was murdered in cold blood by an Officer lying in ambush.
I consider myself fortunate to have never witnessed these events, for I was on the East Side of the Capitol, and these tragedies transpired unbeknownst to me. My fellow inmates however were not so lucky, and the scars of PTSD are readily visible amongst them.

As for me and my codefendants, we have suffered our own pains from the injustices levied against us for our attendance that fateful day for which we remain incarcerated wrongfully. For nearly a year now we have suffered, seemingly forgotten and ignored by the public. We attended that day to protect the innocent. I helped two injured individuals, stopped people damaging the Capitol building and a Police vehicle, and obeyed every lawful order given to me. My codefendants rescued a Police Officer.

What then is our just reward? Wrongful incarceration, slander and defamation, violation of our civil rights, abuse, neglect, Solitary Confinement, malnourishment and the military style SWAT raids that put us here. Guns were pointed at children.
Husbands and wives dragged screaming from loved ones.

During our incarceration we have seen a woman murder her baby, a school shooter, and a guy driving a SUV through a Christmas Parade each get bail/bond while we are denied that right summarily. People commit drive by shootings and are released on bail the next day, and here we rot: Veterans, teachers, parents, medics, small business owners and why? We on the wrong side of “The Party”. We stand for the America they hate so much.

Ultimately we are innocent of the charges levied against us and await here in this DC GitMo hell for a trial that will likely find us unanimously “Not Guilty”.

Our charges are false, the truth manipulated, and we will one day be vindicated.

Until that sweet day, I remain here, held hostage without ransom at the behest of the American public that knows nothing of my plight. Upon release, I will find myself in the tatters of my old life and shell shocked by my imprisonment. My home, my business, my vehicle are all gone and I have little to return home to. I however keep my spirits high and will embrace the challenges of the future, to rebuild my life once again.

Currently, I remain represented by a Public Defender that is overwhelmed by the caseload, and is not aligned with me politically which causes great stresses and interpersonal difficulties. As such, I still seek a strong Defense attorney that believes in my innocence and has the resolve to take my case to a trial that is rapidly approaching in late April.

God Bless you all, and God Bless America! Sincerely,
Political Prisoner #376520

MUST SEE VIDEO: Greene, Gaetz, Gohmert, and Gosar Release “Unusually Cruel” Report on DC Jail and Unusual and Cruel Treatment of J6 Defendants

By Jim Hoft
Published December 7, 2021 at 4:32pm
gaetz-greene-gohmert-gosar-presser.jpg


Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and fellow Republican lawmakers Matt Gaetz, Louie Gohmert, and Paul Gosar, held a news conference on Tuesday to share a report on the cruel treatment in the DC Gulag. Greene and her fellow lawmakers released their findings that detail the treatment of defendants jailed for their participation in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Marjorie Taylor Greene opened up the event by pointing out to the press that in 2020 there were over 500 BLM-Antifa riots in 2020.

Black Lives Matter-Antifa mobs caused over one to two billion dollars in damages in cities across America since May. In Minneapolis alone, Black Lives Matter mobs damaged or destroyed over 1,500 businesses or buildings.

Over 700 police officers were injured in the BLM riots — and that was back in June 2020!

Black Lives Matter was linked to conservatively 91% of the riots that resulted in the most expensive property damage in US insurance history

Democrats incited the Black Lives Matter mobs for months as they destroyed communities across the country.
gaetz-gosar-greene-gohmert.jpg


On January 6th there were a million Trump supporters in Washington DC. Several thousand marched to the US Capitol. There was reportedly one million dollars in damages that day to the US Capitol. Around 900 people entered the US Capitol including Antifa and undercover federal agents that day. Not one statue or historic painting inside the building was damaged by any Trump supporter.

There is a difference. There is a double standard.

Today MTG called the J6 investigation a witch hunt on Trump supporters. As for the abuse and unconstitutional treatment of J6 prisoners, Greene called the abuse of the Trump supporters are being beaten, labeled supremacists, denied haircuts, and bail. It is unconscionable.

1638919477889.png

The J6 prisoners have no idea when they are going to court. They have no ability for a bailout. No ability to see their family. They are being mistreated and abused more than we treat terrorists.

In the report released today the guards continued to argue with the US Representatives about seeing the J6 prisoners. These are not good people. (page 13-14)

Jovan Pulitzer went through the results reported in the audit of the 2020 Presidential Election results in Maricopa County, Arizona. He explains why the results are critical even though Cyber Ninjas reported them as less than critical.

We reported after the results of the Maricopa County audit were released, that over 700,000 ballots were in question as a result of the audit and the canvassing done by a different group.


Pulitzer focuses on the 50,000 ballots listed in the report and included in our article above and explains why these ballots are materially significant to the results of the County’s election.

There is ample evidence to decertify the 2020 Election results in Arizona. Why does the Arizona Congress not do it? Instead, the corrupt leaders in the state are happy with a Joe Biden win by 10,000 ballots.

It has now been over 74 days since the Arizona audit report was delivered to Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich and we have seen no arrests.

The Arizona audit revealed hundreds of thousands of ballot discrepancies and identified individuals who were caught on camera deleting elections files in a secured server room at Maricopa County Elections.


Laws were broken on video. The lawbreakers were identified. All information has been delivered to Mark Brnovich.

Arizona wants to know, Where’s Brno?

Everyone knows this election was stolen. Former Maricopa County Supervisor Steve Chucri resigned from office after admitting that “it was done through dead people voting”, and that fraud was “multifaceted”.



Brnovich is infamous for playing with nunchucks when we’ve got a country to save.

1638920286847.png

Mark Brnovich is too busy with campaign media appearances where he talks about “challenging” the Biden Regime’s unconstitutional actions but avoids talking about the stolen election.

If he doesn’t find out who gave the order to delete elections data and arrest some people involved in the stolen 2020 election, Mark Brnovich’s political career is over.

Patriots in Arizona have planned a rally outside of Mark Brnovich’s office on December 17th with special guests.


Arizona doesn’t want nunchucks. We want arrests.

“It’s All Collapsing Before Our Eyes” – Steve Bannon on the Media’s Coverup of the 2020 Election Steal Coming Unraveled

By Joe Hoft
Published December 7, 2021 at 7:00am
Steve-Bannon-on-Warroom.jpg

The far-left is in meltdown because Americans aren’t buying Joe Biden won the 2020 Election. Americans are livid and the crooked participants involved in the election steal know it.

On the anniversary of the 2020 Election last month, 56% of Voters believed there was cheating – UP from the April number – Including 47% of Black voters

Steve Bannon shared this on yesterday’s War Room. He was fired up about the election:
These guys [in the media] are so out of control and dangerous. By the way, they’ve done such a great job. They missed the rise of China but Nicolle Wallace, one of the mouthpieces for the war criminals in the Bush Administration, that lied to everybody about the weapons of mass destruction. Lied to everybody and threw away a generation of blood and treasure…

…and let the chips fall where they may. And the chips are falling to our side and that’s why they’re in meltdown.

Restoring Election Integrity: The One And Only Way To Save America From Tyranny And Destruction

by David Kupelian
December 5, 2021

Restoring Election Integrity

One year before the 2022 midterm elections, the United States of America, long the freest, most powerful and most successful nation on earth, is on the brink of total meltdown.

Power-obsessed politicians in thrall to a bizarre, quasi-religious ideology, seemingly oblivious to the destruction and suffering they’re causing, daily implement new agendas that crush America’s great middle class, her economy and her most hallowed institutions.

Staging this revolution from behind their shockingly senile puppet president, Joe Biden, they have fomented a full-scale invasion of the U.S. mainland, mandated that tens of millions of citizens be injected with an experimental new drug or lose their livelihoods, and heedlessly created Third World-style inflation, shortages, poverty, drug addiction and runaway crime. And they’re just getting started.

Ironically, America’s current ruling elites hate the very nation they govern, daily condemning it as irredeemably racist, when in reality it is indisputably the least racist nation in human history.

Ignoring reality at every turn, they manifest an abiding contempt for biology, the lessons of history, the fundamental laws of economics, the transcendent value of human life, and especially, for God and His laws.

On top of all this, their current figureheads – Joe Biden and Kamala Harris – are unlikable, meanspirited, pathologically dishonest, and in Biden’s case cognitively disintegrating in real time before the entire world. Harris is so singularly repellant that the Biden administration has essentially kept her hidden since Day 1 and her top staffers are quitting in droves.

So phantasmagoric has 2021 become, Team Biden appears to be engaged in an “Alice in Wonderland”-type intramural competition to determine who in the administration can be the most deranged: Biden is winning, with his straight-faced claims that his planned multi-trillion-dollar spending orgy “costs zero dollars” and will reduce inflation. But Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is giving him stiff competition with his assertion that many of America’s highways and bridges are racist, as is Vice President Kamala Harris, who recently asked NASA if it can possibly “track trees” by race to assure “environmental justice.”

No wonder every recent poll shows voters of both parties are running away, as fast as possible, from Biden and Harris. As USA Today reported in early November, “The approval ratings for President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have reached dismal new lows, according to a stunning, just-released poll. In a survey published Sunday by USA Today, the president’s approval rating stands at just 38 percent. … The vice president fared equally poorly in the new poll. USA Today found that just 28 percent of those surveyed approve of Kamala Harris at the moment.”

Thus, for the ascendent Democratic Party, every bit as addicted to power as a drug addict is to heroin or fentanyl, the only question is: How can Democrats possibly retain their power in light of the growing awareness among the American electorate that their current leaders are basically insane? How, they ask themselves, can they not only avoid losing control of the U.S. Congress in the November 2022 election, but also continue to elect and re-elect Democrats as governors, state legislators, secretaries of state, mayors, Soros-funded district attorneys and other vital down-ballot positions?

In light of voters’ ever-decreasing approval of them, there’s only one conceivable solution for Democrats.

Cheating.

That’s right: Rigging elections. Voter fraud. Changing the rules. Big Tech censorship.

Demonizing Voter ID laws. Exploiting every conceivable opportunity to enable, abet, promote, excuse and encourage election-related fraud and abuse in its myriad and ever-expanding forms, all the while vehemently denying it even when caught red-handed, and simultaneously accusing everyone demanding fair elections of being “white supremacists” and “violent extremists” intent on “voter suppression” and implementing “Jim Crow 2.0.”

And yet, for leaders of today’s Democratic Party, every bit of this – from outright fraud to the demonization of opponents – is perfectly moral, according to their worldview.

That’s because, in the inverted moral universe of the far left, everything is its opposite, just as in Orwell’s “1984” where “WAR IS PEACE,” “FREEDOM IS SLAVERY” and “IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH.” In Biden’s 2021, men are women, concerned parents speaking up at school-board meetings are terrorists, and color-blind meritocracy is systemic racism.

But most essential to the Democrats’ secret love affair with election fraud, Donald J. Trump – who accomplished more good for the nation and its people than any president in a generation, restoring America’s economy, getting control of its southern border, defending life in the womb, and courageously deterring aggression in an increasingly treacherous world – is the new Adolf Hitler in their eyes.

It matters not that Hitler murdered 11 million and Trump murdered zero. For four years, top Democrats and their media mouthpieces continually likened Trump to “Hitler,” his administration to “the Third Reich,” ICE officers to “Nazi guards,” border detainment facilities to “concentration camps,” and the National Guard soldiers to “stormtroopers” and “the Gestapo.”

Why? Because if one were truly fighting Hitler, then cheating, lying, deception and even stronger measures would not only be morally permissible, they would become a moral imperative.

This, then, is the key to understanding how Democrats can feel morally justified in enabling and encouraging election fraud – which is both a crime, and a mortal assault on the most essential foundation of a civilized society: They literally regard their opponents as evil. As legendary columnist Charles Krauthammer put it, “To understand the workings of American politics, you have to understand this fundamental law: Conservatives think liberals are stupid. Liberals think conservatives are evil.”

To sum up: As evidenced by the outcome of the recent elections in Virginia, today’s radicalized Democrats are now recognized by a majority of voters to be so dangerous to the republic that there is no way they can stay in power without cheating.

If they remain in power, America will rapidly become even more unrecognizable, a nightmarish shadow of the magnificent, powerful and liberty-loving nation it once was.

Here’s the good news: If America can manage to assure that elections are truly fair going forward, the maniacal Marxist revolutionaries will have to go away and the nation can then return to sanity and healing.

Thus, election integrity is more important than any other issue. It is literally the singular key to whether America lives or dies.

Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich says an electoral “tsunami” is coming next year.
Maybe. But only if the elections are fair.

This post has it all. Who did it, how they did it, why they did it and what will happen if they are not stopped. It also has a new candidate for Dingbat of the year when Vice President Kamala Harris, who recently asked NASA if it can possibly “track trees” by race to assure “environmental justice.”
To start, we have Black Walnut, White Oak, Red Oak, Osage Orange (which is yellow) and Poplar (when cured is brown). Now, I'm sure the white oaks 'scriminate against the others with reckless abandon because they have no Attorney General oversight. Also, how about the Piss Elm tree? Is that evidence there is crossbreeding going on?

Conspiracy without a leader? Oath Keeper's attorney wants to know if, when leader Stewart Rhodes will be charged

The attorney for January 6 defendant Donovan Crowl says it's hampering her ability to prepare for trial without knowing if the Oath Keepers' leader will be charged.

DOJ: New images show Oath Keepers' weapons at Ballston hotel; was to be used on Jan. 6

Author: Jordan Fischer, Eric Flack, Stephanie Wilson
Published: 4:21 PM EST December 6, 2021
Updated: 4:21 PM EST December 6, 2021

WASHINGTON — The first group of more than a dozen Oath Keepers charged in the January 6 Capitol riot is scheduled to begin trial in April, but as that date approaches, one of their attorneys wants to know: How you can prosecute a conspiracy case without charging their leader?

Carmen Hernandez, who’s representing defendant Donovan Crowl in the government’s largest January 6 case, said it hampers her and other defense attorneys’ ability to plan for trial when they don’t know whether the organization’s leader, Stewart Rhodes, is going to be a co-defendant.

“Frankly,” Hernandez told U.S. District Judge Amit P. Mehta during a hearing Monday, “I don’t see how any Oath Keepers conspiracy charge can be tried” without Rhodes in the mix.

Rhodes, a Yale-educated lawyer and U.S. Army veteran, founded the Oath Keepers in Nevada in 2009. The group attempts to recruit military veterans, police officers and first responders to “defend the Constitution,” according to its website. Prior to January 6, Oath Keepers members have been involved in a number of conflicts with government officials, including the 2014 standoff between the Bundy Family and the Bureau of Land Management. One of the group’s members, Daniel Knight Hayden, of Oklahoma, was sentenced to eight months in prison for threatening violence against government officials.

The Southern Poverty Law Center describes the Oath Keepers as a “fiercely anti-government militaristic group” fueled by Rhodes’ own “conspiracy-flamed convictions.” The Anti-Defamation League places the Oath Keepers within the larger “Patriot” movement that believes “the federal government has been coopted by a shadowy conspiracy that is trying to strip Americans of their rights.”

The Justice Department has alleged extensive involvement by Oath Keepers in the events of January 6 – everything from providing private security for Roger Stone to planning “quick reaction forces” of armed members outside D.C. More than 20 members of the militia group have been indicted in a multi-state conspiracy case alleging they plotted in the weeks leading up to January 6 to disrupt the joint session of Congress. At least three of the defendants in that case have already agreed to plead guilty and cooperate with prosecution. One, Mark Grods, has agreed to testify that the group conspired to bring paramilitary gear and supplies – including firearms, camouflaged combat uniforms and radios – and to forcibly storm past the exterior barricades to enter the U.S. Capitol Building.

2:44 min

Another Oath Keeper – heavy metal guitarist Jon Schaffer, who has self-described as a founding member of the group – was the first January 6 defendant to accept a plea offer in the case. He was also expected to cooperate with investigators looking into the group.

Rhodes appears repeatedly as “Person 1” in court documents related to the Oath Keepers cases.

In charging documents against New Jersey resident and alleged Oath Keepers organizer James Breheny, investigators say they obtained communications showing Rhodes took part in a leadership meeting of “multiple patriot groups” on January 3.

In plea documents for another Oath Keeper, Graydon Young – who allegedly helped recruit his sister and co-defendant, Laura Steele, into the organization – prosecutors say they’ve identified footage of Young and other Oath Keepers regrouping less than 100 feet from the Capitol building with Rhodes after the “stack” had entered the Capitol.

During the riot, according to Signal chats obtained by investigators, Rhodes is alleged to have been in communication with Oath Keepers at the Capitol.

“All I see Trump doing is complaining. I see no intent by him to do anything. So the patriots are taking it into their own hands. They’ve had enough,” Rhodes allegedly wrote in a Signal chat an hour before the “stack” entered the building. authorities say.

Rhodes has not, to date, been charged in connection with January 6 – although that does not mean he has escaped legal woes. In August, seven U.S. Capitol Police officers named Rhodes and other members of the Oath Keepers, along with former President Donald Trump, in a civil suit accusing them of violating the Ku Klux Klan Act and committing acts of domestic terrorism.

Rhodes is also one of numerous individuals subpoenaed by the January 6th Committee as part of its own investigation into what happened at the Capitol. In a letter to Rhodes dated November 23, committee Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-MS) said Rhodes, in a statement on the militia’s website, had called on Oath Keepers to prepare for a “full-on war in the streets.”

Rhodes gave a speech on December 12 in D.C. calling on Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act, “warning that the Oath Keepers would mount a ‘much more desperate [and] much more bloody war’ if he did not do so.” Thompson also wrote that multiple Oath Keepers were captured on video on or around January 6 outside the Willard Hotel – which the committee has honed in on as the “command center” for events surrounding the “Stop the Steal” rally.

The first group of Oath Keepers is set to begin trial at the beginning of April, although prosecutors suggested Monday they may want additional time to resume plea discussions after Mehta rules on a challenge brought by the defendants against the obstruction charge in the case. The Oath Keepers are among a group of January 6 defendants challenging the DOJ’s application of that statute by arguing that the joint session of Congress was not an “official proceeding” under the letter of the law.

Hearing up now on Bannon contempt of Congress charge. This is what Bannon's legal team wants under discovery from the government:

Image

DOJ wants protective orders on numerous categories of evidence including J6 committee comms, witness statements, law enforcement information.

Bannon team: Under protective order, Bannon limited how they can use evidence in the case.

Points out this is govt employee material

Keep in mind, this is the same DOJ demanding cell phone data including text messages, etc. from American citizens who protested Joe Biden's election.

Judge wants DOJ to explain protective orders. DOJ complaining Bannon will make evidence available "for public review." LOFL

"This case should be adjudicated in the court room not the media." - DOJ

WHAT ARE THEY HIDING?

Judge trying to split the baby--how evidence can be made available to defense but prevented from released to public/media. Bannon team objects to idea, notes media wants access, too.
Protective order is "severe."

Judge Nichols says he will rule soon on which categories will be protected.

Bannon team again argues congressional comms should be made available. Judge wants to find a way to prevent Bannon from making it public, only used for court proceedings.

DOJ claims dissemination to media will influence potential jury, witnesses, and outcome.

Team Bannon calls it "baseless." Judge Nichols suggests burden might be on Bannon to argue removal of protective order in each instance.
Image

Bannon atty detailing a long list of issues/rights the J6 committee has violated including separation of powers and Bannon's 1A rights. Communications would reveal how J6 committee approach ran afoul of numerous laws, rules, etc.

"This is a radical move they made."

It's clear Bannon's team is attempting to delegitimize the entire J6 committee, which is great.

Notes Thompson's personal lawsuit should preclude him from heading committee. Notes Raskin's lead role in Trump's impeachment. "Entitled to know what the processes were."

Now blasting Thompson's comment on Maddow that anyone who invokes 5A is guilty.

Entitled to know why DOJ "deviated" from usual process--cited OLC opinion--to not charge exec branch official with contempt of Congress.

Notes Biden calling for prosecution of Bannon and others.

This hearing is LIT. A careful analysis of why the J6 is illegitimate--it's too bad no GOP congressional leader is making this argument EVERY DAY.

Judge asks why Bannon wants to delay trial until late next year. DOJ push for April WHICH IS FUNNY bc they keep delaying J6 trials.

Judge asks DOJ why an immediate trial date. I love this bc Bannon team flipping script on DOJ.

LOFL defendant and public's "right to a speedy trial."

I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS. I hope lawyers for all J6 detainees are listening.

DOJ complaining Bannon team is dragging out discovery

Judge notes J6 criminal cases - none have gone to trial including defendants who are detained and those charged January and February. "Languishing a little bit."

"Government wants to move at light speed." But of course says Bannon doesn't need 10 months to prepare for trial.

Says he's loathe to split the difference but that's what he's going to do. (Will check out how many times Nichols has excluded time from Speedy Trial act on other J6 defendants. I'll bet a lot.)

Wants July trial. Sort of amazing since so many J6 defendants don't have trial dates
Nichols asks parties to work on protective order agreement before December 16.

If not, Nichols will issue ruling on protective orders.

Tucker Carlson warns Democrats are pushing to ‘criminalize political dissent’ 7:50 min

Tucker Carlson: Peaceful assembly is suddenly a crime depending upon who you voted for
All of us should be every bit afraid of this -- it’s terrifying

If you’re planning to be in Washington DC tomorrow, your nation's capital, be careful. A group of political extremists plan to shut down the city. We're not guessing about this because they’re not subtle about what they intend to do.

They literally call their group, "Shut Down DC." On their website, the extremists describe the violence they plan to commit tomorrow in Washington. They’re planning "disruptive direct action" to end quote, "business as usual" and "dismantle" the country’s core systems of government. In case there’s any remaining doubt about their goal, they’re calling tomorrow’s "disruptive direct action," "December 7: Shut Down the Capitol." As in the United States Capitol.

What would you call an event like this? There’s really no other word for it: it's an insurrection. It is a planned uprising against our elected government. In fact, it is an attack on democracy itself, maybe the most organized attack since the Civil War and September 11. If you’ve been paying attention for the past year – eleven months to the day in fact – you probably assume our elected officials vehemently oppose this. They’re against insurrections. In fact, at this point, insurrections are the main thing they’re against. Their whole job is to oppose insurrection.

Nancy Pelosi tells us that every day. So does Liz Cheney. But not in this case. It turns out that some insurrections are just fine – it all depends on who is planning on insurrecting. Just today, Nancy’s Pelosi’s top bodyguard, William J. Walker, the House Sergeant at Arms, issued a statement describing tomorrow’s insurrection as the "shut down the capitol" event; this is the "city-wide first amendment demonstration." No big deal, implied Walker, just a group of political extremists coming to shut down the United States Congress while it’s in session. Not a threat.

The funny thing is, Walker’s hilariously understated response to tomorrow’s outbreak of left-wing violence sounds a lot like the government's initial response to the rally in January, when conservatives descended on the city.

On the morning of January 6th, the regional director at the Department of Homeland Security wrote a memo with the subject line, "Updates on Rallies/Protests." That day, DHS was tracking three major rallies. One of them featured a speech by the then-sitting president on election integrity.

Pursuant to National Park Service Permit 21-0278, the DHS expected about 20,000 people to attend the event at the Ellipse, just south of the White House. All of these people, the DHS bulletin made clear, had a constitutional right to be there. They also had a right to leave the Ellipse and go wherever they wanted because it was, at the time anyway, their country. "It is expected," the memo said, "that a portion of this group will march to the U.S. Capitol." And they did - and it was hardly a surprise when they did.

It was all, as Pelosi would say of tomorrow’s planned insurrection, a "First Amendment demonstration." It was Americans peacefully assembling to express their political views, as for nearly 250 years, the Bill of Rights has guaranteed they can. There’s nothing more American than that, we've heard that for decades.

Yet, here's the change. Suddenly it's a crime to do this, depending upon who you voted for. This is Congressman Bennie Thompson of Mississippi, a sitting member of Congress and the Chairman of the House Committee that claims to be looking into what happened on January 6.

Thompson already knows perfectly what happened on January 6. He and the rest of the committee are sitting on thousands of hours of videotape they refuse to release to the public.

So fact finding is hardly the point of the mission here. The point, very clearly and ever more clearly with each passing day, is to criminalize political dissent. Now that's a strong claim and if you doubt that, watch Bennie Thompson explain how he plans to handle a former Trump official the committee has subpoenaed. The man in question has not been charged or even accused of a crime. He was not inside the Capitol building on January 6th. Yet, here’s Bennie Thompson warning that if this man dares to use his Fifth Amendment right, the not to incriminate himself, then he is, by definition, guilty of a crime:

BENNIE THOMSON ON MSNBC: Our charge is to get to the facts. Mr. Clark, through his attorney, has been deliberately avoiding us. // Obviously, he is aware that something went on that is illegal. And rather than be responsible and answer, he is pleading the Fifth. // But if he is saying, okay. I`ll come but I`ll plead the Fifth, then in some instances that says you are part and parcel, guilty to what occurred.

If you plead the Fifth, you're guilty - what country is this? So assert your constitutional rights, and we will punish you. That’s the chairman of the January 6 committee. That is far more imminently dangerous to our democracy than anything that happened on January 6th. It’s not even close. And yet it’s being ignored. Have you read about this in the New York Times? The Washington Post? Even conservative media, to their great shame, is by and large ignoring this story. Why are they ignoring it? We’ll let you reach your own conclusions. But in the darkness that results, our democracy is indeed dying by degree.

We can tell you tonight, for example, that Democrats in Congress have just issued a subpoena to AT&T, seeking the phone records of a young woman called Caroline Wren. Caroline Wren did not break into the Capitol on January 6th. She wasn’t even there.

Caroline Wren is a Republican fundraiser who once worked for Lindsey Graham, she helped organize donations for the rally that day and her name is on the permit for it. That’s it. That’s her rap sheet. For doing that, the most constitutionally protected of all activities, the January 6 Committee is demanding all of Caroline Wren’s phone records, including her text messages, from November 1, 2020 to January 31 of this year. Democrats, and when we say Democrats included in this is Liz Cheney, are also trying to seize Wren's bank records. They're trying to seize anything she’s written by hand, including her personal diary entries.

You don’t have to love Donald Trump to find this sickening and scary. Do you really want to live in a country where Nancy Pelosi and Bennie Thompson, crazed partisans with no interest in the United States Constitution, can seize your bank records, your text messages, your diary, simply because they don’t like who you voted for in the last election? Most Americans don’t want to live in a country like that. A country like that is Haiti. But suddenly it’s America.

This show has learned of other subpoenas from the January 6 commission to phone companies are in progress. They target Americans who have been accused of no crime whatsoever, much less charged with one. Cleta Mitchell, a prominent Republican lawyer, was just informed by AT&T that Democrats want her phone records, several months worth of her phone records.

Why? On what grounds? Because Mitchell once spoke to Donald Trump about the vote in Georgia. Now complaining about election results is now a crime.

We’ve reached out to AT&T about this. Effectively, they told us they're going to comply with the subpoenas from congressional Democrats. They’re probably afraid not to comply.

All of us should be every bit afraid of this. It’s terrifying.

Zuckerberg operatives and money infiltrated five key Wisconsin cities in the November 2020 election. The cities allegedly took about $9 million total from the Zuckerberg Foundation, according to former Justice Michael Gableman. Now the special counsel in charge investigating the 2020 election in Wisconsin, Gableman presented his findings for the Wisconsin Assembly Committee on Campaigns and Elections hearing on December 1.

The expressed focus of his investigation and discussion was to explore the extent to which the mayors and clerks of the five Wisconsin cities allowed Mark Zuckerberg’s employees to plan and administer those cities’ elections” in 2020. The investigated cities are Green Bay, Milwaukee, Kenosha, Racine, and Madison.

Gableman received “straightforward cooperation” from only one of the five cities—Kenosha. The other cities offered him “little or no cooperation” after subpoenas were served. Speaker Robin Vos of the state assembly signed off on the subpoenas. Gableman issued the subpoenas to the respective municipal clerks, the Wisconsin Election Commission, and the mayors of all five cities.

After issuing the subpoenas, Gableman told the assembly that the State’s Attorney General, Josh Kaul, filed a lawsuit against Speaker Vos, Chairman Brandtjen, and Gableman himself, “to prohibit [Gableman] from asking any questions of Meagan Wolfe who is the administrator of the Wisconsin elections Commission.”

Met repeatedly with resistance, Gableman had to hire lawyers, paid for by the taxpayers, to work through the investigation. Oral arguments are set for December 23 in Madison.

On November 29, Gableman filed two petitions for writs of attachment against two of the five mayors (Green Bay and Madison) because they “simply failed without reason or excuse to appear for their depositions and answer questions about how and to what extent they allowed Mark Zuckerberg’s employees to plan and administer their cities’ election in November 2020.”

The question at hand, according to Gableman, is “whether the millions of dollars each of these mayors received from the Zuckerbergs may have induced them to do something other than [to] treat all candidates fairly and impartially and whether those mayors used the Zuckerberg money to get out the vote for Joe Biden.”

Gableman relayed his dismay over the apparent lack of reporting by the media concerning the ignored subpoenas and conduct on the part of various government officials. Gableman lamented:

The “incurious press has taken up the partisan cause of unlawful electioneering by shielding from accountability potential wrongdoing by government officials. (Green Bay Mayor) Eric Genrich and (Madison Mayor) Satya Rhodes-Conway have chosen to ignore the subpoenas issued by the Wisconsin assembly because they have no intention of answering uncomfortable questions about how they ran their elections and what they did with the millions of dollars of Zuckerberg money.”

Gableman says hiring teams of lawyers by government officials using taxpayer money amounts to “legal evasion maneuvering” of responsibility and is just one big cover-up.

He cites a book written by the former political director for Obama, David Plouffe, as one of the bases for his conclusions. Written in 2019 and called “A Citizen’s Guide to Beating Donald Trump,” it was remarkably prescient about what seems to have occurred in the 2020 Wisconsin election. The plan laid out in the book, Gableman says, appears to have been executed with uncanny similarities in the actual election.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg later hired David Plouffe to head policy and advocacy at the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (Zuckerberg’s philanthropic organization). The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative gave $350 million (in two installments) to the Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL). The CTCL allegedly played an integral role in getting the vote out in the state.

Under the guise of keeping voters “safe” during the coronavirus pandemic, the cities in question instead used Zuckerberg funds to run a partisan “get out the vote” initiative in favor of Joe Biden.

Gableman says the Zuckerberg funding:

“Changed from the stated purpose of keeping people safe from COVID, and this is not just my opinion, we look at the record to see how much money was actually spent on COVID safety measures, and we see it as it pales in comparison with the amount of the get-out-the-vote effort. Now get out the vote has historically been a partisan term of art. Get out the vote is short for get-out-the-vote for a particular candidate for office.”

“The five cities then took the remainder of the roughly $8.8 million that Mark Zuckerberg was giving away and, under CTCL’s contractual provisions, were required to get out the vote. I think the citizens of this state have a right to know whether that was done on a partisan basis and/or for partisan purposes. And what, if any, partisan effect it had in those cities. These are reasonable questions in light of the road map that was set out for all to see in the David Plouff book initiative in favor of Joe Biden.”


Manipulation of the elderly has also been a focus of Gableman’s investigation. Officials and volunteers allegedly ignored election laws concerning the treatment of some of the most vulnerable voters—the elderly.

Special Deputies were missing in numerous nursing homes around the state due to guidance from the Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC). The absence of the Special Deputies left nursing home employees in charge of assisting the elderly to vote.

Countless nursing homes also barred poll workers from helping the elderly vote to allegedly avoid the spread of COVID-19. Therefore, some elderly voters could not vote in the 2020 election, and there is evidence that others “voted” despite severe cognitive impairments. All of these activities were illegal and disenfranchised elderly voters in the state.

To answer questions of budgetary transparency, Gableman listed all of the expenses and salaries associated with his team’s investigation. The expenses are listed below:

Gableman Expenses/Michael Gableman reveals staffers in GOP-backed election investigation

Representative Spreitzer, who has been a continual thorn in Gableman’s side, challenged Gableman’s judgment in hiring people associated with the Trump campaign who “were actively involved in trying to change the results of the November 2020 election that you’re investigating.”

Spreitzer was referring to Rob Heuer, president of the Wisconsin Voters Alliance. Spreitzer accused Gableman of being “firmly in the lane that the outcome of the election should have been overturned.” Gableman’s reply—“Stop! I never said anything about overturning any election. Stop making things up. Shame on you!” Gableman defended Heuer, saying he is a good and “honorable man.” Spreitzer characterized Gableman as “unhinged” after the hearing.

1638937977240.png

According to reporting at cbs58.com,

“Representative Spreitzer called the subpoenas a waste of time after a federal judge ruled last year the election funds were valid. He said, ‘Disgraced Trump-aligned attorneys have already wasted hours across multiple hearings proclaiming their dislike for local municipalities seeking the funds they need to administer elections.’ He added, ‘By issuing these subpoenas, it is now clear that Speaker Vos is using every power available to him to placate far-right extremists.'”

Gableman reiterated the difficulty of completing his investigation due to the lack of cooperation from government officials.

“My work and my employees will be judged by one thing, and that is the finished work product. And right now, what is preventing the finished work product is the fearful running and hiding of those government officials who do not want to be held accountable and who do not want to tell the public what they did with the Zuckerberg money and why they did it.”

Gableman also stated that open records requests obtained by Heuer show evidence of government officials directly communicating with the CTCL in emails. The emails, Gableman said, show evidence of CTCL operatives “coming to these five cities with all sorts of Zuckerberg money with all sorts of strings attached.” As Gableman said, even WEC admitted ties with CTCL outside consultants. Toward the end of the hearing, Rep. Brandtjen noted that there were “almost 14 maybe 18 different groups that came to Wisconsin under the non-profit status that, you know, did quite a few different things.”

Gableman added, “it’s very clear that Mark Zuckerberg’s goal was to defeat Donald Trump and elect Joe Biden. He funded CTCL and the Vote-at-Home alliance and their local representative, a man from New York City named Michael Spitzer-Rubenstein.”

Gableman has the emails to prove it and a couple of them have been made public.

Michael Spitzer-Rubenstein Emails/Wisconsin

According to reporting by the Wisconsin spotlight:

“[T]he National Vote at Home Institute is one of several private, left-leaning groups, primarily funded by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Spitzer-Rubenstein, with an impressive political resume working for Democratic politicians and campaigns, had significant influence over the administration of the presidential election in Green Bay and, it appears, in Milwaukee.”

Gableman berated Spreitzer for what he believed was a feigned concern for election integrity calling his interactions “speeches disguised as questions.

“Representative Spreitzer, the real concern here is, and I would think as someone who represents a district, your real concern would be—was the 2020 election rigged with bipartisan efforts by government officials using public money to get out the vote for a particular candidate? That’s my concern.”

Significant numbers of absentee ballots came into question in the state’s 2020 election. At one point, those associated with the Trump campaign estimated there were about 221,000 illegal and/or invalid absentee ballots.

For example, 17,271 absentee ballots in the Wisconsin election came into question due to coordinated, partisan activities like “Democracy in the Park.” In that scheme, the event was widely advertised by the Biden campaign, and city employees were hired “to register, instruct in the process of absentee ballots, help complete them and serve as witnesses.”

Another 28,395 indefinitely confined absentee ballots were issued to those claiming that status after March 25, 2020, and were cast in violation of the law without the required photo identification. Municipal clerks should have reviewed and expunged those voters from the rolls before the election. The margins were small, with only about 20,000 votes separating Biden and Trump in the race.

BREAKING: Arizona State Rep. Mark Finchem, Whip Leo Biasiucci, Sen. Sonny Borrrelli Announce Public Hearing on Election Integrity in Pima County Next Monday

By Jordan Conradson
Published December 8, 2021 at 5:35pm
BCC2A83C-ECA0-421A-A5BB-0B6DC1A016B4.jpeg


Arizona State Rep. Mark Finchem just announced, AZ State House Majority Whip Representative Leo Biasiucci, Senate Majority Whip Senator Sonny Borrelli, and Representative Mark Finchem will hold a hearing on election integrity on Monday, December 13.

The mission of this hearing is the same as it was in the November 30, 2020 hearing. The objective is to “receive evidence and testimony that could serve to prove or disprove alleged discrepancies in the 2020 General Election.”

The audit of Maricopa County’s 2020 election revealed hundreds of thousands of possibly illegal ballots, missing signature verification, illegal and inaccurate voter registration, law violations, and law violations on video.

It has been 75 days since Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich received this evidence and he has done nothing!


The Gateway Pundit reported that this fraud goes beyond Maricopa County. President Trump recently released a statement revealing new data from Pima County, including precincts in Pima with over 100% voter turnout.

AZ State Rep and Trump Endorsed candidate for Secretary of State Mark Finchem spoke about some of these discrepancies, including 35,000 fictitious votes inserted into Pima County’s election.

Finchem reveals that their whistleblower “claimed to be in the room when the plan was revealed to lower-level Pima County Democratic Party leaders.”

The Pima County meeting is next Monday.


Details below–
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
DECEMBER 8, 2021, Phoenix, AZ
House Majority Whip Representative Leo Biasiucci (LD-5), Senate Majority Whip Senator Sonny Borrelli (LD-5) and Representative Mark Finchem (LD-11), announce a Public Hearing on Election Integrity.
DATE: December 13, 2021
TIME: 0900-1700 MST
LOCATION: Hilton El Conquistador Hotel and Convention Center, 10000 N. Oracle Road, Oro Valley, AZ.
ACCESS: By ticket only, the event will be live-streamed for all to watch.

“On November 7, 2020, an anonymous report of election system fraud was made to the United States Department of Justice and ALL members of the Arizona House and Senate. The allegation that 35,000 fictitious votes had been entered into the Pima County election was related by an individual who claimed to be in the room when the plan was revealed to lower-level Pima County Democratic Party leaders.

“Over the last 12 months a few Members of the Legislature and resources from various election integrity organizations have conducted a quiet, but fruitful investigation into the substance and reliability of the allegation.

“Our elections are a system, and systems require active maintenance. Without attention to detail, the bureaucratic machine inevitably runs amok. We are elected to identify defects and fix them.” Rep. Biasiucci

“We found significant discrepancies in the Maricopa County Election through the audit, which gives us all pause to consider what has happened in other counties? To think that we would not find similar problems in other counties is not a credible position for any elected official to take.” Sen. Sonny Borrelli
“With consent of the Governed goes the right of the Governed to to examine, and if warranted, conduct an audit of the elections that they participate in.

Elections belong to the People, not the government.” Rep. Finchem

On November 30, 2020, we held a Public Hearing on Election Integrity that gave the public an opportunity to present evidence and sworn testimony to the joint panel of Members of the State Legislature regarding the 2020 General Election. The mission of the Public Hearing on Election Integrity was to, “receive evidence and testimony that could serve to prove or disprove alleged discrepancies in the 2020 General Election.”

Arizona citizens and expert witnesses submitted sworn affidavits, under penalty of perjury, to the panel detailing inconsistencies they encountered during the election process.

Pima County voters who have first-person knowledge of a violation of Arizona elections law, a violation of the Arizona Elections Procedure Manual, and who may have physical evidence are asked to contact Sen. Kelly Townsend (LD-16) at 602-926-4467.


This hearing will be held with the same objective. Press organizations may contact 602-826-7300 for information on access.
Mark Finchem is working to audit Pima county and uncover the truth statewide in Arizona. Sign the nationwide petition to audit Pima County.

Contact Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich and demand RESULTS.

Maricopa County Board Of Supervisors Swear In “Anti-Election Integrity” Member Thomas Galvin To Fill Steve Chucri’s Vacancy

By Jordan Conradson

The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors appointed a new member to replace the disgraced Steve Chucri who resigned after TGP made his fight with his colleagues public.

I am persona non grata right now with my colleagues. I was passed over; I was supposed to be vice-chairman. They chose Mr. Gates because of my opposition to this.”, said Steve Chucri in reference to his favoring an audit of Maricopa County.


Chucri wanted a real audit but his colleagues were “scared”.

As a result, he was left powerless and he resigned his chair on November 5th. He refused to come clean, likely because he plans to run for Governor one day and he doesn’t want to lose any allies.

Today, Thomas Galvin, an anti-Trump, anti-election integrity RINO, who is unelected by the people was sworn into Chucri’s former seat.

Here is an earlier tweet by Galvin.

7A79FFAA-831D-4665-AF5A-DCA0973E9B28.jpeg


Thomas Galvin clearly thinks we have no right to be upset about a stolen election and he sympathizes with our weak “leaders”.

Leftist Hack Jen Fifield welcomes Galvin to help cover up the 2020 Election atrocity.

1639017159550.png

Maricopa County patriots know that this is bad, real bad for elections.

Arizona GOP Chairwoman Kelli Ward agrees that Galvin is a RINO and that the Arizona Senate needs to dissolve the Board of Supervisors, which controls roughly 60% of the state.

1639017015483.png

Maricopa County officials only care about protecting themselves.

Evidence of hundreds of thousands of fraudulent ballots, missing signature verification on mail-in ballots, and elections law violations have been presented to Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich.

It has been 75 days and he has done nothing about these criminal violations.

Contact Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich immediately to demand results.

Brad Raffensperger Argues the State Farm Suitcase Video Was “Urban Myth” – Kicking Out Obversers, Rolling Out Suitcases and Shoving Ballots Thru Machines 3 Times in Middle of Night is Completely Acceptable (VIDEO)

By Jim Hoft

Last week Georgia election operatives Ruby Freeman and her daughter Wandrea “Shaye” Moss sued The Gateway Pundit, Jim Hoft and Joe Hoft for allegedly conducting a “campaign of lies” against the two women that led to online and in-person harassment against the two women.

The organization behind the lawsuit is called Protect Democracy, a large far-left political organization.

The two women and their far-left funders targeted The Gateway Pundit after we were the first to identify the women in the late-night ballot-counting video at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta Georgia on November 3rd and the morning of the November 4th.

The Gateway Pundit was also first to report that Ruby Freeman was caught on video shoving stacks of ballots through the voting machines numerous times late at night after all of the election observers were sent home.


The anti-Trump officials in Georgia insisted that this was normal procedure in the state of Georgia to kick out observers pull out hidden suitcases of ballots and feed them through the machines in an empty room numerous times when your candidate is losing the race.
We disagree.

Today Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger went on the popular John Fredericks Radio Show. Raffensperger argued that the “suitcase scandal” was an urban myth.”


Brad Raffensperger claims that the suitcases that were pulled out from under the tables at State Farm Arena on election night is an “urban myth” and that Rudy Guiliani “sliced & diced that video out of sequence”.

Raffensperger allows this obvious stealing of votes in Georgia elections.

Mark Meadows Sues Nancy Pelosi and Every Member of January 6 Committee: ‘Unconstitutional’

8,058
US Representative Mark Meadows, Republican of North Carolina, speaks to the press during a recess in the impeachment trial at the US Capitol on January 24, 2020 in Washington, DC. - Democratic prosecutors were expected to wrap up their case against US President Donald Trump in his impeachment trial Friday, …

JOEL B. POLLAK8 Dec 2021519

Former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows sued Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and every member of the U.S. House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack on Wednesday, claiming that it is unconstitutionally usurping executive branch authority.

The lawsuit, filed in the federal district court for the District of Columbia, came after the chairman, Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-GA), wrote to Meadows’s attorney earlier Wednesday to say that the committee would pursue criminal contempt charges against Meadows.

That came after Meadows’s attorney wrote to the committee on Tuesday to say that Meadows could not cooperate with the committee because it was attempting to subpoena his private telephone records from his cell phone provider, Verizon.

The lawsuit states that the committee is demanding that Meadows violate executive privilege and the Constitution, and asking his cell phone provider to break the law:
The Select Committee acts absent any valid legislative power and threatens to violate longstanding principles of executive privilege and immunity that are of constitutional origin and dimension. Without intervention by this Court, Mr. Meadows faces the harm of both being illegally coerced into violating the Constitution and having a third party involuntarily violate Mr. Meadows rights and the requirements of relevant laws governing records of electronic communications.
Meadows’s lawsuit also explains that he wished to comply with the committee, but that it wanted materials he believed he did not have the right to provide under the Constitution:
For months, Mr. Meadows has consistently sought in good faith to pursue an accommodation with the Select Committee whereby it could obtain relevant, non-privileged information. While the Committee and Mr. Meadows engaged over a period of time in an effort to achieve such reasonable accommodation, the Select Committee adamantly refused to recognize the immunity of present and former senior White House aides from being compelled to appear before Congress and likewise refused to recognize a former president’s claims of Executive Privilege and instructions to Mr. Meadows to maintain such privilege claims in addressing the Select Committee’s inquiries.
The current President of the United States, through counsel, purported to waive the former president’s claims of privilege and immunity.

As a result, Mr. Meadows, a witness, has been put in the untenable position of choosing between conflicting privilege claims that are of constitutional origin and dimension and having to either risk enforcement of the subpoena issued to him, not merely by the House of Representatives, but through actions by the Executive and Judicial Branches, or, alternatively, unilaterally abandoning the former president’s claims of privileges and immunities. Thus, Mr. Meadows turns to the courts to say what the law is.
The lawsuit argues further that the committee is illegitimate by its own terms: the House resolution establishing the committee provides that “The Speaker shall appoint 13 Members to the Select Committee, 5 of whom shall be appointed after consultation with the minority leader” (emphasis added). Moreover, the resolution says that subpoenas “shall” only be issued in consultation with the committee’s ranking minority member, and there is no ranking minority member.

Meadows’s filing states: “Authorized congressional committees have subpoena authority implied by Article I of the Constitution. … The Select Committee, however, is not an authorized congressional committee because it fails to comport with its own authorizing resolution, House Resolution 503.”

Speaker Pelosi rejected the nominees provided by House Minority Leader Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and chose two members of the minority. As it stands, the committee only has nine members — seven Democrats and two Republicans, both of whom are avowedly anti-Trump.

Democrats maintain that Meadows, who was chief of staff for President Donald Trump, has material information about the January 6 riot at the Capitol. Meadows has not been linked to the riot by any one of hundreds of Department of Justice cases against the participants.

The Department of Justice is prosecuting former Trump aide Stephen K. Bannon for resisting a subpoena on similar constitutional grounds to Meadows’s objection. Bannon wants a court to decide the executive privilege issue before handing over materials to the committee. Ironically, the Department of Justice is attempting to prevent Bannon from making public other materials about the riot, which it provided to him as part of the legal process.

Shocking Results From Macomb County, Michigan - Cavassing of 2020 General Election Absentee Voters

A group of concerned citizens in Macomb County named the Concerned Citizens Initiative of Macomb County, did canvass their county and created a Canvassing Report. They surveyed approximately 1,200 absentee voters who were reported by the state to have voted absentee in the 2020 General Election. It all began with a group of concerned citizens, one of them was Jacky Eubanks.

The group filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and requested a list of the voters who cast absentee ballots in 2020 in different towns in Macomb County. From that list they choose approximately 1,200+ people to survey. They asked those 1,200+ people 3 very simple questions:
  1. Does this person reside at this address?
  2. Did they vote in 2020?
  3. Did they vote absentee ballot?
Note that they do not ask you who or what Party you voted for.

They collected affidavits from those surveyed when the information on public records did not match voters' testimony. In their canvassing, they found a number of what they call anomalies.

Those anomalies were:
  • The Voter voted in person on Election Day at the assigned polling precinct despite the records showing they voted absentee
  • The Voter doesn't reside at that address
  • The voter did not vote
  • The same voter received multiple ballots for the same election
  • Non-residential addresses had ballots counted from them (which is illegal)
  • Invalid addresses (no building # or apt # specified at an apartment complex).
What did they find? Here is the An Executive Summary from their report:
  1. 17.6% of surveyed voters resulted in anomalies that indicate fraudulent votes were cast.
  2. At this rate, as many as 87,489 fraudulent votes were cast in Macomb County, MI.
  3. At this rate, as many as 154,545 fraudulent votes would have been cast in Wayne County, MI.
  4. At this rate, as many as 974,917 fraudulent votes would have been cast statewide in MI…more than enough to cover the reported 154,188 vote margin.”
Quite interesting numbers if you ask me. Will the mainstream media be reporting about this or will it once again only be me informing the people. I will give you three guesses and the first two do not count.

Claims sowing ‘seeds of doubt’ in Utah’s election integrity ‘destructive,’ top election official says

Lt. Gov. Deidre Henderson welcomes legislative audit, but is concerned about ‘narrative’ surrounding it

Utah’s top election official on Wednesday called claims that sow “seeds of doubt” in the integrity of the state’s election system “destructive” and of “great worry.”

Republican Lt. Gov. Deidre Henderson’s comments came the day after a GOP-controlled committee of lawmakers voted to approve a legislative audit of the state’s election system.

Henderson said she welcomes that examination — noting the Utah Legislature conducted a similar legislative audit in 2019 — but said what concerns her is the “narrative” surrounding it that casts doubt on the safety, security and accuracy of Utah’s elections.

“I am concerned about feeding the fire of some people who have made it their life’s mission to sow seeds of doubt in the integrity of our elections systems, and that is of great worry to me,” she said.

Given that narrative, Henderson had words of caution for Utah lawmakers as the audit moves forward.

“I certainly hope that legislators and others are careful about how they frame this, and do not try to score cheap political points with it. This is way too important for that,” she said. “Building trust is not easy in this environment. But the trust comes from transparency and it comes from ethics and competency.”

That vote was preceded by a separate effort to put an independent, “forensic” audit on Utah’s ballot — led by a Republican Utah lawmaker who resigned in October amid backlash for spearheading a committee hearing fraught with misinformation on Utah’s Capitol Hill to call for an Arizona-style election audit, even though former President Donald Trump handily won Utah in 2020.

Henderson’s office has also received complaints from southern Utah’s Washington County about people knocking on doors asking residents about their votes, using voter information that would be available to candidates.

“They were asking a lot of pointed questions and made these people very uncomfortable. And that is concerning, definitely,” Henderson said.

The endgame of that effort, Henderson said, is to “roll back the time” on Utah’s election systems and dismantle it for the explicit purpose of restricting voter access.

“These folks who are purporting to only be concerned about the integrity of the election system, that’s not what this is about,” Henderson said. “This is less about the integrity of the voting system than it is about restricting access to the ballot from certain people. This is about voter restriction. This is about making sure not as many people can vote.”

Henderson said it’s “really important” for Utahns to understand that those efforts undermine all of the policies and laws the Utah Legislature itself has enacted over the years to increase voter access, including voting by mail.

“And that’s not OK. That’s not how we do things in Utah,” she said.

Before he resigned, Rep. Steve Christiansen, R-West Jordan, rallied his supporters to call for an independent, “forensic” audit like the one seen in Arizona, where an outside firm was hired to conduct a review after Trump falsely claimed the 2020 election was stolen. That review, though described by experts as riddled with errors, biased and flawed methodology, confirmed Democrat Joe Biden’s win in the state.

It’s important to note the legislative audit ordered Tuesday by the Utah Legislative Audit Subcommittee, which includes several top legislative leaders, is not the same as an Arizona-style audit.

The Legislative Auditor General’s office, Henderson said, is “professional and nonpartisan.” She said she has the “utmost confidence” in how the office will manage the audit.

House Majority Leader Mike Schultz, R-Hooper, requested the audit to “assess the integrity and accuracy of voter rolls, the legitimacy and security of submitted ballots, and the systems and processes within election offices,” according to a statement issued Wednesday.

Before Tuesday’s vote, Democrats including House Minority Leader Brian King, D-Salt Lake City, objected to the audit request, calling it unnecessary and worrying it would fan unsupported doubts over Utah’s election system.

Schultz pushed back, asking, “What are you so afraid of?”

“It is dumbfounding that many Democrats have made this a partisan issue, fighting relentlessly against, and even voting in opposition to the audit request. I ask them: What are you so afraid of?” Schultz said in the statement. “I believe it is important to provide assurance to Utahns that our election systems and processes continue to be well-secured, fair, and above reproach. Why would we not want to assess what works well and what could be done better in our election systems?”

GOP state lawmaker Phil Lyman, who is sponsoring another bill that would implement regular audits, said his concerns go beyond the 2020 election and include funding for electronic systems where voter registration data in Utah and elsewhere is housed.

“I can’t imagine someone not wanting to understand what is going on with the election system,” Lyman told The Associated Press.

Henderson said she looks forward to the findings of the legislative audit, noting that the 2019 audit was “a very strong, favorable audit of Utah’s voting systems” that found strong controls.
“I imagine they’ll find something similar,” though she added there’s “always room for improvement,” and she looks forward to implementing the audit’s recommendations.

“There’s nothing that has been done that should cast doubt on outcomes of anything that has happened before now,” Henderson said. “Moving forward, we’re only going to be bolstering our already very good, very secure systems and ensuring that all eligible voters have access to ballots.”

Turncoat Mike Pence: “On January 6th, I said I Believe There Were Irregularities – But I Know I Did the Right Thing” (VIDEO)

By Jim Hoft
Published December 9, 2021 at 7:30am
mike-pence-turncoat-j6.jpg

Time’s up, Mike.

We’ve seen enough. You just don’t have what it takes.


Turncoat Mike Pence spoke with CBN News this week. He now says there were irregularities in the 2020 election. But it was up to the states to do something about it. And he was not going to delay the electoral count to have those states look at it.

Mike Pence is such a disappointment.

And millions and millions of Trump voters will never forget what he did to this great nation.


CBN News reported:

Responding to MAGA Haters
Since Pence left office, he’s been under criticism by a segment of Trump supporters for his role in certifying the 2020 election results on January 6th. Many within the MAGA movement have called him a traitor. Pence gave CBN News a lengthy response.

“On January 6th, I said that I believe there were irregularities about which I was concerned, and I wanted them to have a fair hearing before the Congress,” Pence says. “But from the founding of this nation forward, it’s been well established that elections are to be governed at the state level and that the only role that Congress has is to open and count the electoral votes that are submitted by states across the country. No more no less than that.”

“And in January of 2017, I took an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States. The Bible says in Psalm 15, that he keeps his oath even when it hurts and, on that day, I could relate to that sentiment. But I wanted to keep my oath to the Constitution.”

That led Pence to a bottom-line conclusion. “I know in my heart of hearts that on that day, we did our duty, under the Constitution… I don’t know if President Trump and I will ever see eye to eye on that day. Or that many of our most ardent supporters will agree with my decision that day. But I know I did the right thing.”

Arizona Gubernatorial Candidate Katie Hobbs Apologizes For Her Racial Discrimination Against Talonya Adams, 6 Yrs & 2 Jury Verdicts Later – Adams To Respond Via Presser At 11:15 A.M.

Arizona Secretary of State and Gubernatorial Candidate Katie Hobbs issued a public apology to Talonya Adams for her alleged racial discrimination and “shortsighted” response to the court’s verdict.

The Gateway Pundit reported that Katie Hobbs, once the Democratic frontrunner for Governor, might not be so popular after a federal jury awarded Taloyna Adams, a Democratic policy advisor for the state senate, $2.75 million.


Hobbs fired Adams, and Adams says it was due to her race.

“I think she’s always been very uncomfortable with minorities.”, said Talonya Adams.

in August 2019, Hobbs said “it is not true.” and “Discrimination didn’t happen.”

After Adams received her first favorable ruling and was awarded damages, Hobbs finally issued an apology saying, “I should have been a stronger ally”.

This was not enough for Adams. “I don’t need her to be my ally,” Adams said in the interview. “I need her not to discriminate against black people.”

Finally, today: Six years and two jury verdicts later, Hobbs has issued a real apology for her alleged racism against a staffer.

Hobbs is virtue signaling now that she has been forced to apologize.

The worst part is that Hobbs couldn’t even bother to spell Ms. Talonya’s name correctly in her official statement.

While the left gets mad at Republicans who say Kamala Harris’ name incorrectly, they have no problem discriminating against blacks and even calling them the wrong name completely.

1639097513167.png

Democratic challenger Aaron Lieberman did it too.

It appears Democrats do not care about black voters, only their votes.

Arizona Republican Gubernatorial Candidate called on Hobbs to step down from her role as Secretary of State after the recent court ruling was added to her track record of racism and bigotry.


Ms. Adams has called a public press conference to address the forced apology that Hobbs gave her.

She began her response to Hobbs saying
To be clear, I have not had a conversation with Kathleen “Katie” Hobbs since February 2015

This morning at 11:15 Ms. Talonya Adams will respond to Katie Hobbs’ third public response at the Sandra Day O’Connor Courthouse.

REMINDER: Georgia’s Raffensperger, Sterling and Fuchs All Connected to Firm that Helps Georgia Democrats Run as Republicans

By Joe Hoft
Published December 9, 2021 at 10:00am
Georgia-Democrats.jpg


In July we reported that Georgia’s corrupt Secretary of State Raffensperger, his corrupt CFO Sterling, and his corrupt deputy secretary of state Fuchs weren’t upset about Democrat election wins in Georgia, they wanted it that way. Instead, they slandered President Trump for calling out obvious fraud in their state.

A report at the Georgia Record this weekend uncovered the many connections between top Republicans in Georgia who were connected to a firm that groomed Democrats for Republican jobs. No wonder these individuals did all they could to prevent President Trump from winning reelection.
Landmark Communications of Atlanta, GA bills itself as the ‘go to’ firm for GOP candidates to get elected in Georgia.

The founder, Mark Roundtree, says this about himself on Landmark’s website:

MARK ROUNTREE
President
Mark Rountree is President of Landmark Communications, Inc., which he founded in 1991.

Campaigns & Elections Magazine has recognized Mark as one of Georgia’s five “Top Influencers” as well as “the go-to man for GOP legislative candidates.”

Unfortunately, Landmark has a history of helping Democrats get elected running as Republicans. This phenomenon may have contributed to the absolute cesspool of corruption in the Peach State when it comes to the performance of Republican officials during the 2020 election cycle. Some of these candidates have ties to the Chinese Communist Party.

We believe there has been a concerted effort among Democrat operatives to do just that – infiltrate the GOP and run ‘progressives’ as Republicans, who are lying about their beliefs and views on the issues. All of the information below is from publicly available information.
Nazeera Dawood
The report lists Asian American Nazeera Dawood as an individual who lost her race where she billed herself as a fiscally conservative Republican but lost after a picture of her was found on the Net where she attended a far-left gathering labeled, tacos, beer, and abortions” It was then found out that she wasn’t a doctor as she claimed either.

Jordan Fuchs
Jordan Fuchs, the GA Deputy Secretary of State who leaked the phone call with President Trump and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, is a former Vice President of Landmark. Fuchs lied about the phone call to the press, and then deleted the original audio file, which was later found by an investigator.
jordan-fuchs-georgia.jpg


Brad Raffensperger
GA Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger was also represented by Landmark during his elections. This morning GA SoS Candidate David Belle Isle released data on Democrat contributions to Raffensperger’s campaign. The behavior of Raffensperger since Nov 3rd has been bizarre for a Republican to say the least. More to come on that in another article.
According to David Belle Isle, around 20% of Raffensperger’s donations came from out-of-state Democrats.

Jay Lin
Landmark also represented Taiwanese immigrant ‘Jay Lin’ (not his Asian name) in his race for JC City Council, and follow-on race for a GA state representative seat. We have written extensively about Jay Lin here. Jay Lin somehow made it onto Governor Brian Kemp’s transition team and was appointed to at least three other government board positions in GA, including one with influence over the Savannah Port.

In 2015 Jay Lin paid Landmark $65,000. This was a CITY COUNCIL RACE! A lot of money to say the least.

Jay Lin also ran as a conservative in JC. However, he had a reputation of not showing up for meetings, not paying attention, and voting opposite of Republican views. Jay Lin and Nazeera Dawood held political events together as they both ran for JC City Council in 2015.

Brad Raffensperger’s wife donated the max to Jay Lin’s campaign for state rep, and Raffensperger helped push Jay Lin and Nazeera during 2015.

Brad Raffensperger is on record saying he had to support Jay Lin because he owed the Chinese community for his previous election and fundraising. The man below next to Brad Raffensperger is Yale Xiao. Yale was Jay Lin’s campaign manger. On Chinese social sites his nickname is ‘Old Money’.
Gabe Sterling
In addition to the individuals listed in the Georgia Record piece, we identified another crooked so-called Republican connected to Landmark Communications. On the LinkedIn portfolio of Mark Rountree, the President of Landmark Communications, Gabe Sterling endorses Rountree for his work with ‘political campaigns’.

Looking a bit further we noticed that Sterling was a Vice President at Landmark Communications in 2005.

Mark-Roundtree-Landmark-Communications.jpg


Of course, Sterling is the pudgy guy the Secretary of State’s Office sent out to meet the media while the state was being stolen from President Trump and moved to Joe Biden.

Lumberjack Logic dissected the Georgia Record paper in an excellent presentation on YouTube.

Appeals Court Rejects Trump’s Effort to Block White House Records From Sham January 6 Committee

By Cristina Laila
Published December 9, 2021 at 4:15pm
President Trump


A federal appeals court on Thursday rejected President Trump’s effort to block the sham January 6 committee from accessing White House records.

Trump asserted executive privilege over hundreds of pages of documents, but Joe Biden said the records should be released to Congress.

Trump is expected to file an emergency appeal with the US Supreme Court.

The 3-judge panel for the DC Circuit Court of Appeals gave Trump 14 days to petition the Supreme Court before the Archives can begin turning the records over to the January 6 committee.

House lawyers argued the sham committee needs Trump’s records “to complete a thorough investigation into how the actions of the former president, his advisers, and other government officials may have contributed to the attack on Congress to impede the peaceful transfer of presidential power.”

“On the record before us, former President Trump has provided no basis for this court to override President Biden’s judgment and the agreement and accommodations worked out between the Political Branches over these documents,” Judge Patricia Millett wrote in a 68-page opinion for the panel, The Hill reported.

“Both Branches agree that there is a unique legislative need for these documents and that they are directly relevant to the Committee’s inquiry into an attack on the Legislative Branch and its constitutional role in the peaceful transfer of power.”

New York City Lawmakers Pass Bill Giving Noncitizens, Illegal Alien “Dreamers” Right to Vote

si-se-puede-voter-id.jpg


New York City lawmakers passed a bill on Thursday that would give noncitizens and illegal aliens the right to vote in municipal elections.

The new measure would give 800,000 green card holders and illegal alien “DREAMers” the right to cast a ballot.

The City Council bypassed state lawmakers and passed the measure which will likely prompt a legal challenge.

Republican opponents say the city council does not have the authority to grant voting rights to illegals.

NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio has stated he will not veto this measure.
The Washington Times reported:
Noncitizens in New York City would gain the right to vote in municipal elections under a measure approved Thursday by the City Council that would give access to the ballot box to 800,000 green card holders and so-called Dreamers.

Only a potential veto from Mayor Bill de Blasio stood in the way of the measure becoming law, but the Democrat has said he would not veto it. It’s unclear whether the bill might still face legal challenges.

The Council’s vote was a historic moment for an effort that had long languished.
Councilman Francisco Moya, whose family hails from Ecuador, choked up as he spoke in support of the bill.

“This is for my beautiful mother who will be able to vote for her son,” said Moya, while joining the session by video with his immigrant mother at his side.

The measure would allow noncitizens who have been lawful permanent residents of the city for at least 30 days, as well as those authorized to work in the U.S., including so-called “Dreamers,” to help select the city’s mayor, city council members, borough presidents, comptroller and public advocate.

EXCLUSIVE: Feds Withheld Exculpatory Evidence In Charging Accused 1/6 Protesters

Crowd outside US Capitol

EXCLUSIVE: Feds Withheld Exculpatory Evidence In Charging Accused 1/6 Protesters


By Jack Hadfield December 9, 2021 at 11:14am

National File can reveal, through an exclusively obtained FBI document relaying an interview with “Person 10” of the Oath Keepers, that the organization had no plan to storm the U.S. Capitol on January 6, and the government knew this as it repeatedly charged Oath Keepers with conspiring to enter the Capitol. Now, a January 6 defense attorney says this could see entire cases dismissed.

Following the protests on Capitol Hill on January 6, 2021, many in the Department of Justice, media, and Democrat Party were quick to label what happened as being a pre-planned, violent insurrection. Subsequently, members of the controversial Oath Keepers militia founded by Stewart Rhodes were charged with conspiring to “corruptly obstruct, influence, and impede an official proceeding,” namely the certification of the Electoral College votes on 1/6.

FBI sources told Reuters earlier this year that there was little to zero evidence of any plans to take hostages in the Capitol and stop the count of the electoral votes, they did claim that members of the Oath Keepers and the Proud Boys had planned to storm the Capitol, even though there may have not known what to do inside.

However, in a May 4 interview with the FBI, the individual in charge of planning the Oath Keepers’ security detail on January 6 – known in court documents as Person 10 – denied repeatedly that the group had any plan to enter the Capitol.

Person 10 is most well known from a bombshell article published by Revolver News, which claimed that Person One was Oath Keepers leader Stewart Rhodes. In Department of Justice indictments, that in turn cite Oath Keepers group chats, text messages, and video calls, Person 10 was described as the “leader of operations” in D.C. that day by Rhodes.

Contrary to the government’s narrative and charging documents, Person 10 repeatedly told the FBI that the Oath Keepers had no plan to enter the Capitol, and responded negatively to a total of six questions on the subject:
  • “To your knowledge, was there was [sic] ever any discussion, by you or anyone you know (to include OKs), to take violent action on January 6, 2021, or after, if the Presidential election did not produce the desired result?”
  • “Was there ever any pre-planning, or planning on January 6th, by the OKs to incite riots at the U.S. Capitol… forcibly enter the U.S. Capitol… [or] disrupt the transition of the Presidency?”
  • “To your knowledge, did you… or any members of the OKs take any of these actions on January 6th?”
Person 10 told the FBI that he, Rhodes, and others had dinner at Olive Garden on the night of January 6. “At that time, Person 10 was still [sic] could not believe people went into the Capitol,” the FBI noted, further suggesting that Person 10 – in his capacity as the leader of operations in Washington, D.C. on that day – had no knowledge of a plan to enter the Capitol.

Olive-Garden-600x288.jpg


Attorney Jon Moseley, who represents Oath Keepers member Kelly Meggs, told National File that the most recent superseding indictment against his client – which claims that there was a well-plotted Oath Keepers conspiracy to take over the Capitol on January 6 – is the government “doubling down on things they knew were false.”

Moseley has confirmed that Meggs will be asking the Court to examine whether the information gained from the FBI interview with Person 10 was given to the grand jury.

“We’ve got lots of things we’re going to do,” Moseley continued, suggesting other witnesses have likely confirmed Person 10’s story to the FBI. “I understand that there’s other witnesses who would confirm this,” he explained.

Moseley told National File, “We’re going to get the grand jury notes to find out if they told them this.”

“That starts to get us to, well, it’s called prosecutorial misconduct,” he added. “This could be a case dismissed situation.”

Person 10’s Texts Taken Out Of Context

Previously, it was revealed that Person 10 sent a message to the Oath Keepers Signal leader chat informing those in the chat that at 2:15 p.m., “the [sic] have taken ground at the capital [sic]. We need to regroup any members who are not on mission.”

The interview with Person 10 now makes clear that he sought to remove Oath Keepers from any danger at the Capitol, and stop fights between protestors and police officers.

Not-On-Mission-600x289.jpg


According to the FBI, “Person 10 advised he was saying that things were getting bad there and people were starting to fight with the police” and wanted instead to “regroup the members to help with security for people who needed it and to regroup members to leave the area.”

It was previously, incorrectly claimed that Person 10 was urging people to participate in the unrest.

“QRF” Was To Protect Republican VIPs, Not Sack The Capitol
As noted by Revolver, Person 10 was put in charge of the Oath Keepers’s “Quick Reaction Force” (QRF), which has been likened to a military-style force ready to storm the Capitol.

Yet, Person 10 instead told the FBI that the QRF, which was stationed in a hotel in Virginia, were not meant to be understood as a military unit. Person 10 relayed to investigators that the QRF was there for a worse-case scenario, and was ready to evacuate “protectees, the injured, and/or assist in the extraction of [Oath Keepers] if attacked by antifa or others.”

QRF-Not-Like-Military-600x135.jpg


National File understands that some of the individuals the Oath Keepers sought to protect that day included Republican politicians, pundits, and high profile election integrity advocates.

Person 10 and Rhodes discussed the QRF at the Olive Garden dinner held after the Capitol protests, and Person 10 confirmed to the FBI a second time that the QRF’s purpose was “not like those in a military mission or operation but was just about security and protection for people.” The QRF was never activated.

Why Did Feds Ignore An FBI Interview?

Revolver News suggested that Oath Keepers leader Stewart Rhodes – and potentially other Oath Keepers – are being protected by the federal government. This, according to Revolver News founder Darren Beattie, suggests that there is federal involvement in the organization.

Revolver published:
But therein lies the bind: if Stewart Rhodes (as we strongly suspect) is a federal operative, or was in communication with federal operatives, or was under the surveillance of Feds, the entire artifice of 1/6 lies comes crumbling down.

They need Stewart Rhodes’s communications if they really want to figure out what happened on 1/6, but if those communications become part of the Discovery Production of the trial case, and Stewart Rhodes was in communications with Federal assets, then it’s game over for the Justice Department.

They look ridiculous if they don’t prosecute Stewart Rhodes, but if they do, and he’s a Fed, then he has leverage to squeal on them.
The publication’s suggestion that the prosecution is willfully ignoring evidence that makes it look bad seems to have struck a chord with defense attorney John Moseley.

“I think there’s no justifiable reason for this, I think they’re afraid to buck the political narrative,” said Moseley. “And I hope they would realize that it’s time to do the right thing and drop the charges.”

Moseley added, “There’s no way to explain this prosecution other than following a political narrative.”

“It’s the political class and the Congress, there’s no legal justification for this that I could even possibly imagine.”

EXCLUSIVE
Zuckerberg-Backed Election Influence Group Founder Served At Chinese State-Funded Center Pushing Beijing Propaganda.

The founder of the Center for Tech and Civic Life – a controversial election oversight group heavily backed by Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg – is a former fellow at the Chinese regime-funded Ash Center, which has also advised Chinese Communist Party officials sanctioned by the U.S. government for human rights abuses.

The Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL) used the hundreds of millions of dollars from the Facebook founder’s organization, the Chan-Zuckerberg Initiative, to overrule local election officials and increase turnout in – almost exclusively – Democratic districts. Proving the partisan conflict of interest, leaders from the CTCL overpowered and overruled local election authorities and, through coercion, accessed mail-in ballots ahead of the election.

Tiana Epps-Johnson co-founded the CTCL in 2012 with co-workers from the New Organizing Institute (NOI), described by the Washington Post as “the Democratic Party’s Hogwarts for digital wizardry.” CTCL appeared to play a similar role in the 2020 election, helping secure a victory for Joe Biden – the Chinese Communist Party’s preferred candidate.

The National Pulse can reveal, however, that Johnson is affiliated with Harvard University’s Ash Center, which has extensive financial and personnel links to the Chinese regime.

Hosted within the Harvard Kennedy School, the Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation is funded by several Chinese Communist Party-backed entities. Among its donors are China Southern Power Grid Corp, whose management is “directly appointed by China’s central government.”

Additional donations come from New World China Enterprises Project, a Chinese company whose board is composed of virtually all Chinese Communist Party members. Chairman and Executive Director Cheng Kar-Shun served as a Standing Committee Member of the regime’s Political Consultative Conference, an arm of the party-state responsible for conducting overseas influence operations.
https://thenationalpulse.com/analysis/trump-is-right-mark-milley-is-in-fact-a-****ing-idiot/
As a result, the center has routinely produced studies amplified by Chinese state-run media outlets and regime officials. A July 2020 report – “Understanding CCP Resilience: Surveying Chinese Public Opinion Through Time” – contends that the Chinese Communist Party is “as strong as ever” and that “Chinese citizen satisfaction with government has increased virtually across the board.”

For two decades, the Ash Center has also hosted the “China’s Leaders in Development Program,” which describes itself as being “widely recognized by the Chinese government as one of the best overseas training programs for government officials.”

“Taught both at Tsinghua University, China, and Harvard Kennedy School, this multi weeks training program is specifically designed to help prepare senior local and central Chinese government officials to more effectively address the ongoing challenges of China’s national reforms,” the summary continues.

Beyond collaborating with a university that has attempted to hack the U.S. government, the program brings Harvard professors’ prestigious advice to senior leaders from the brutal Chinese Communist Party, handpicked by the party’s own Organization Department of the Central Committee. Several years, members of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corp, which has been identified as an “instrument of repression” against Uighurs by the Washington Post and accordingly sanctioned by former President Donald Trump, have joined the delegation.

Despite these ties, Johnson served as a Technology and Democracy Fellow at the Ash Center from 2015 to 2016. While at the center, Johnson participated in several discussions on the use of technology in American elections including a workshop titled “Rebuilding The Cornerstone of American Democracy: Leveraging Digital Tools to Reach Today’s Voter.”

Johnson also launched Election Toolkit, an “online clearinghouse of resources” for local officials administering elections across the United States.

Johnson has been involved with the Ash Center through at least 2018, as she participated in the institute’s “Getting to Eighty Percent: A Symposium Advancing Voter Participation” in her capacity as CTCL founder.

Cyber Ninja’s CEO Rates Maricopa Elections – Dominion Refused His Oversight Invite

In a recent interview CEO Doug Logan of Cyber Ninjas was asked to rank aspects of Maricopa’s County’s 2020 Election. Jovan Pulitzer conducted the interview with specific and very telling questions. Logan speaks freely about a lot of topics and rates what he thinks of Maricopa elections on a scale of 1 to 10, ten being best. He also makes some stunning disclosures we list at the bottom.
  • Mailing Out of The Ballots – That only eligible voters truly registered to vote were the ones who got a ballot. Rating: 3 or 4
  • Voter List Accuracy – How accurate is that list of those who can vote. Rating: 5 or 6
  • Maintaining Election Machines – Having the right software, updates, and configuration. Rating: 3
  • Tabulation Machine Calibration – Is the calibration configured to read ballots correctly. Rating: 1
  • Integrity of Boxed up Ballots – Were boxes filled with ballots accurately and stored according to compliance. Rating: 7 or 8
  • Election Machine Security – The configuration of software and other security measure to protect election machines. Rating: 2
  • Election Staff Selection Process – The way people are chosen to work elections, is it balanced, are they screened. Rating: Not enough insight
  • Adjudication Staff – Are staff that adjudicate ballots equally represented by political parties. Rating: “They were slanted left”
  • Elections Weakest Link – The weakest part of the entire election. Rating: “the mail-in ballots”, immediate response.
  • Did Audit Report Show Highly Questionable Election – Was the election not operated correctly, need further investigation, and possibly need to be redone. Rating: Yes. We had 23,344 mail-in ballots that were mailed to an address where the individual no longer lived there. These are people who filled out National Change Of Address forms. Yet votes were cast on these ballots. But this is only one of many issues.
Database Purged Before EAC Arrived: Logan says “The election database was cleared the day before Maricopa held their own audits with Pro V&V and SLI. We’ve known from the beginning those weren’t real audits. They weren’t looking at anything associated with the election results.

And they couldn’t because the database was purged before they (EAC vendors) came in. There were no results for them to look at. And that further confirms they never looked at the data of the (election) results. That blew my mind because there are literally logs that say – at this time, on this date, they clicked an option that said Purge Database.” Logan said there is no history of Maricopa conducting this purge in any previous elections, which contradicts Maricopa’s Congressional testimony this “archive was a normal procedure”.

Dominion Invited To Watch: Logan said before they made digital copies of various election machines using forensically approved techniques: “We actually invited Dominion to watch us when we touched their machines. We told them if you want to make sure we’re doing it right, send somebody down. We also notified the County that we were glad to have Dominion watch us. So why didn’t they send anybody? They would know it was done right and they would have to attest to it.”

Ballot Curing: Many voters were contacted by the elections department to “cure” and fix issues with their ballots. But different phone numbers were provided to Democrats voters. No one answered the those phone numbers provided to Republican voters. Logan says “The Republicans figured this out and started handing out the Democrat phone numbers so they could get ballots cured”.

Subpoena Special Master: Maricopa agreed to provide additional data like router splunk logs through a designated 3rd party, a Special Master. Logan said: “The way it’s laid out is CyFIR’s Ben Cotton is essentially playing blind chess. The other player (Maricopa) can see the pieces and Ben’s got to do it blind. I think Ben Cotton is world class and can do that. I have a lot of confidence in him. He detected a breach while conducting a demo for the Federal OPM. There’s maybe 20 people in the world that can do something like that. We’ve got the best of the best working on this.”

Q: Did you have free rein in your report to describe what you found with total freedom an auditor normally has? Logan said he agreed with the Senate early on that the audit report should be fact based, with no opinions. But then he said: “There was a week or two at the end, where you know they (Senate) had copies of it. There were a number of things they didn’t like the wording of. And I didn’t necessarily like what their new wording was. I told them I would come up with wording that I felt solid with, and I did that. So no, I didn’t have quite the free reign you normally would have in an audit. But I don’t think it compromised the integrity of the report.”

Vendors that Cyber Ninja’s thought they could originally rely on were intimidated. Their own associations, like people in forensics, threatened memberships and would blackball those who participated in the audit. A lot of people Logan trusted would not get involved. They would answer a few questions but were just scared to deal with the cancel culture. We know who has courage, only Doug and Jovan know who doesn’t.

This appears to be applicable to only local elections.

Counties and cities often have a different relationship to the state. Counties, with the exception of certain so-called "Home Rule" jurisdictions, are extensions of the state and subject to its General Laws. In CA, Home Rule counties merely have a different organizational arrangement with fewer elected offices. Cities, (and some Western Home Rule Counties,) on the other hand, are incorporated entities with different powers and structures. This may give them more power over eligibility in local elections under their corporate structure.

As you know, I am no attorney, but I have some familiarity with Home Rule. My constituents had been told by someone that we could establish a Home Rule County and extricate ourselves from all the state regulations. Sadly, this did not prove the case and it was difficult to convince them otherwise - even though it is clear in the State Constitution.
