The 2020 election witnessed an unprecedented and coordinated effort through public-private partnerships to improperly and unlawfully influence the election for Mr. Biden.

1. We witnessed a two-tiered election system in which state and local officials targeted Biden constituencies to turn out the vote while targeting Trump constituencies to depress the vote.

2. There was a use of private funds to pay election judges and officials who managed the way ballots were received, accepted, cured, and counted.

3. We witnessed private interests dictate and encourage local election officials to violate state laws protecting the integrity of the ballot.

4. We witnessed the consolidation of voting counting centers to justify the delivery of hundreds of thousands of ballots to one location, removing Republicans from their lawful right to view the receipt, handling, and counting of ballots in the consolidated counting centers.

August 2019:

Exclusive: Critical U.S. Election Systems Have Been Left Exposed Online Despite Official Denials

https://t.co/upYeltANXG

The top voting machine company in the country insists that its election systems are never connected to the internet. But researchers found 35 of the systems have been connected to the internet for months and possibly years, including in some swing states.

But a group of election security experts have found what they believe to be nearly three dozen backend election systems in 10 states connected to the internet over the last year, including some in critical swing states.

These include systems in nine Wisconsin counties, in four Michigan counties, and in seven Florida counties—all states that are perennial battlegrounds in presidential elections.

Some of the systems have been online for a year and possibly longer. Some of them disappeared from the internet after the researchers notified an information-sharing group for election officials last year.

This is a quite disgraceful and shameful update from the @barcouncil. Not *one word* on the government's decision - pushed through Parliament days after it was announced - to strip - without reservation - cardinal democratic and fundamental

Not so much as a whisper about the fact that the government has, by secondary legislation imposed under an Act that was before never envisaged to give such widespread powers:

- Removed wholesale the right to protest - something that even this government has said, in representations to *Zimbabwe* should not be done in response to this very virus;

- Banned all communal worship, despite its chief advisers admitting in evidence that there was no empirical evidence about the risk of infection;

- Continued to restrict the rights to family life, including by preventing the right to access to the 'home' for those considered to live in a different household, one give specific protection by the ECHR: Buckley v United Kingdom (1996) 23 EHRR 101 at [63];

@eyejosh I started a Tweet went to a second tweet and it all disappeared
So try again... We have a an excellent option to end this Govt and perhaps the whole Parliament

It revolves around my beef that Vote Leave Broke the Law in the Referendum - 2

2/ The Electoral Commission investigated Vote Leave after a Complaint - they needed 3 x attempt before finding that Vote Leave had formed a company BeLeave with the specific intent to have extra spending of £700,000 in the last days of the run up to the Vote 3/

3/ Electoral Commission found Vote Leave had Broken Electoral Law which was their authority and fined V_L max Fine . E-C also found further "more serious offences" and as the Report states these were referred to Met Police for investigation 4/

4/ Take the Breaking Electoral Law = crime, as a group they agreed/took part in / Aided and Abetted the crime --

"an agreement between two or more persons to commit a crime or to accomplish a legal purpose through illegal action"

Criminal Conspiracy - Electoral Law -- 5/

5/ The "Serious Offences" referred to the Met Police were ignored - 6 months -- then Met {Police sat on for 12 months - Peers X Party forced Met Police to pass the E-C Files of evidence of Serious Offences to the Crown Prosecutions -

Files so serious that will be the DPP. 6/

Hello folks, Today I got a map of the Milwaukee Metropolitan area. We are going to be looking at Scott Walker's 3rd and 4th Election.

Walker has always been a polarizing figure in Wisconsin politics. He's been pretty much hated by Liberals and loved by Conservatives ever since he ending collective bargaining for public employees. He managed survive 2 very close re-elections (2012 recall, 2014 General)

However, his luck ran out in the 2018 Blue wave. Support for Walker fell pretty much everywhere. He did worse in pretty everywhere with a sizable population . The only place ,he really gained from 2014, was the small towns in Northern Wisconsin.

Walker went from winning the Milwaukee metro by 6 to losing it by 2.4 . Him doing worse in the Metro can be attributed by losing support virtually everywhere.

Ironically, the only place where Walker did slightly better was in the heavily African American wards of Milwaukee. Turnout went down pretty badly in this area, so most of his gains were likely due to population loss .

Russians are masters of disinformation.

Don’t fall for their lies on social media


“The goal is to manipulate and divide humans because it sells. “We just provide a space for people to connect” is the sanctimonious response.

What rubbish.”

“They have created an addictive ecosystem that uses persuasive technology to catch, hook and exploit

“Russians’ mastery in this arena flows from their deep understanding and comprehensive formulations of information warfare, technology, active measures & human psychology. No other nation can muster the resources & skills Russia can with potentially game-altering effectiveness.”

“Today, we are experiencing disinformation campaigns to create alternative realities. These forces combine to erode the very foundation of our open society and its democratic traditions by promoting a polarized world.”

Thread: Some thoughts as we go into the re-election of Trump. About 20% of the country is hard-core leftist. These people would love to see America become a communist dictatorship, and they’re silly enough to think it will benefit them.

But that leaves 80% of the country that is NOT hard core leftist. Of that 80%, another 10% is hard core Democrat. They’re going to vote for Biden no matter what we find out about his corruption, because they’re willing to sacrifice the country for their progressive vision.

That leaves 70% of the country that isn’t irredeemable. Of that 70%, 20% will normally vote Democrat, because, well, their fathers did or because the media has them convinced that GOP is evil (and Dems are either not or less evil) or just because. But they can be swayed.

And a lot of swaying has been going on. Between the riots, and the anti-American posturing of Dem politicians, $2 trillion “health” plans, banning oil production, and other craziness, a LOT of swaying has been going on. Gays, blacks, Hispanics, all have been migrating to Trump.

Mind you, some of them still won’t be swayed. They’ll either reluctantly pull the lever for Biden or they’ll stay home. We’re seeing some of that staying home factor in the voting numbers coming in from various states. The rest will vote for Trump.

OK, so it's a fortnight away - the "Digital Party Conference" of the CDU to decide who the next party leader will be

And whoever wins this is going to have a good chance of being Chancellor, succeeding Merkel after the election in September this year

There are three main candidates in the running - all middle aged men from Nordrhein Westfalen
- Friedrich Merz
- Armin Laschet
- Norbert Röttgen

So who's going to win?

For ages it looked like Laschet was the clear front runner. Prime Minister of Nordrhein Westfalen (NRW), and with a kind of folksy-beergarten manner, it looked good for him.

But then came COVID, and in the first wave it looked like NRW was pushing to open up too early, and questions started to be raised as to whether he would be up to the job...

Laschet's star is falling

The candidate profiting is Merz. The comeback kid at 65 years of age would take the CDU more to the right - which seems to be what a slew of the 1001 delegates (esp those from the states of eastern Germany) want. That despite the pragmatic line of Merkel being +popular than ever.

Certain Christians on the right are correct to recognize that the moral discourse surrounding our politics is largely a cynical point-scoring exercise, an attempt to secure the moral high ground through discrediting opponents, rather than a serious, honest, and humble endeavour.

As such, the discourse is generally more concerned with power than with truth. Extracting admissions of guilt from your political opponents enables you to demand that they act in a chastened and deferential subjection to you as moral arbiter. Almost everyone is playing this game.

Many evangelical Christians are excessively nice people, whose form of faith is itself profoundly oriented around their scrupulosity and overactive consciences. They are also very naïve, and don't understand that they are perfect marks for this game. They can easily be gaslit.

Tell them that they are complicit in the worst atrocities and it is highly likely that they will accept your claims. Accusations of racism are especially powerful here, as given our nations' histories, they can bear genuine measures of guilt.

Their instinctive response, as nice, conformist, conflict averse, and obliging people, when faced with accusations by a person of colour is deference, affirmation, and contrition. Critical assessment of the very often largely unfounded accusations being made is suspended.

1. Phony Joe Biden.
Joe Biden is truly an ambulance chaser.  He had nothing to do with the vaccine that is about to be made available to the public, he had nothing to do with the manufacturing process that is already underway,

2. and he had nothing to do with the distribution process that is set in place, all of which were superbly instituted by President Trump and his team.

3. So, there he is, at a podium, reading from a teleprompter, telling us how he will follow the science, how he will distribute the vaccine, etc.,

4. now that Pfizer announced today that its vaccine is ready to go very, very soon (obviously, Pfizer chose to hold back its announcement until after the election).

5. This is the kind of bullshit we are going to hear from this clown (to quote him), who did absolutely nothing and has done absolutely nothing.

My update on what I know.

I have lots of phone calls & emails & texts & will give it to you straight & with a couple of early thoughts.

Have coffee not gin & follow if interested. 1/

The presidential is confusing, but a scenario many anticipated (including both campaigns)— if not the pollsters exactly— although that verdict isn’t entirely even set. 2/

Let me start with some certainties.

1) If every vote counted equally, this would be a Biden-Harris landslide or very close.
2) Every vote isn’t counted equally & everyone knew that.
3) More people than ever voted for the other guy than you. Record turnout for both. 3/

A large disappointment is that many hoped for a significant repudiation of Trump & his indifference to human life, human suffering, his corruption, and goal of getting rid of the ACA.

No matter the final total it will be hard to make that claim. 4/

In the next few days, the vote will be added up in Georgia, North Carolina, Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. Arizona is also not universally called, but looks like Biden.

Expectations are... 5/

Here's the overall view that I'm piecing together right now.

Venezuela is a linchpin.

You've got BLM, Bernie, and radical left adoration.
You've got Smartmatic and Dominion fingerprints everywhere.
Chavez and Maduro.
BLM involved in their elections.

You've got Global Citizen there, and here... and everywhere.
You've got Bill Gates involved with Smartmatic, ES&S, Dominion, etc.
You've got Microsoft's software Election Guard in every single machine.
Celebrities shilling for Smartmatic machines specifically & Global Citizen...

There's a common thread for all of this.

Plus, Maidengate started with a text from Supermajority that was co-founded by Black Lives Matter founder Alicia Garza.

They're all in on it.

Find a thread, start pulling.

This is a good one to dig your teeth into.

Thread: JANUARY 6TH WAS THE DAY THE PROCESS FAILED.
So I did have an EPIPHANY, just not the one I EXPECTED.
Watching the violence & stupidity (astroturfed by ANTIFA & Leftists posing as Trump Supporters WITH gullible Patriots) was mind-numbing.
The day ended with TRUMP ABANDONED.

I am listening in on the arraignment of dozens of people who were arrested at the pro-Trump riots and protests at the Capitol yesterday. Will tweet what I find out.

The first person arraigned in connection with yesterday's riots is Michael Amos from FL. Charges: Unlawful entry to the capitol building & violation of curfew. The Judge says he disobeyed Capitol Police & Metropolitan Police Dept. He is released pending trial, but banned from DC.

He was held overnight. He said his phone is dead, and that he's staying in a hotel outside of the DC area and that he has to drive through DC to go home to Florida. The government agrees to allow him to drive through the city if he doesn't get out of the car. He has no priors.

During this arraignment Metro Police released a list of all those arrested yesterday in connection with the riots/break into the capitol building, as well as the charges. Not all of them will be arraigned today:

Next is David Ross from MA, also charged w curfew violation, unlawful entry to the capitol. They read him his standard rights and ask him if he understands his rights. He responds, "Uh, kinda?" They clarify them and he pleads not guilty. Judge orders him to stay out of DC.

Hey I'm gonna tell you some things without attribution that you may choose to believe or not

1) 5GW/infowar is not something weird online people are reading into things, it's USG's public-facing governing paradigm & they are playing to win

2) You already know that anyone who says NSA et al "have no domestic mission" is lying to you, but they don't even pretend that's true in the quasi-public fora that coffee-getters like me attend

It means about as much as "interstate commerce" at this point, there are no borders

3) Mil officials at the highest levels are openly courting Big Tech at the highest levels to "practice good digital citizenship" (IOW fight the infowar for them) bc government can't - not bc they gaf about the Constitution, but bc nobody in Congress knows how to use a computer

4) MIC admits that "kinetic effects" (things that blow up) are no longer the primary concern - they're worried about narrative collapse because no one is curating the flow of media to people who are "tribal, susceptible to misinformation, less educated"

5) So far none of this is really news (except that they're open about it), but one thing that may surprise: they are not soft on China, they are scared shitless

They despise Trump openly but the only good thing they have to say is "at least he cut China out of US finance & tech"

Our Politics, Our Polity.

In truth there are no true political parties in Nigeria. What we have are ideologically non specific political platforms available to the rich and heavily influential persons to contest elections.

#Thread

A political party is defined as an organised group of people who have the same ideology, or who otherwise have the same political positions on pertinent issues, and who field candidates for elections...

...in attempt to get them elected and thereby implement the party's agenda as unequivocally stated in its official and universal manifesto.

In truth, presently, none of the prominent parties in Nigeria qualifies to be so called as per the above definition.

It is therefore not a surprise that the various anomalies being exhibited by both PDP & APC in the present imbroglio going on in Edo politics.

In an organised party no national chairman will behave as Adam's Oshiomhole has done. Also a party faithful and political protege of a political leader will not conduct his affairs as Gov Godwin Obaseki has done.
