VATICAN CITY , November 12 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) — “ Why the trip to Switzerland during his youth ?
” I was asked today over Twitter .
“ When did he ‘ go bad ’ ?
Was he recruited by other evil men ?
” “ He , ” of course , is Theodore Edgar McCarrick , the former cardinal whose exalted career crashed and burned in 2017 after a credible allegation that he had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by the Archdiocese of New York .
When the news hit the headlines , we also learned that there had been rumors for years that McCarrick had sexually molested adults .
And not just rumors : settlements .
As new allegations of McCarrick ’ s abuse appeared in the media , angry Catholics demanded an explanation of how such a man could become an auxiliary bishop of New York , let alone the bishop of Metuchen , the archbishop of Newark and , finally , the cardinal archbishop of Washington , D.C. Then @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the United States , Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò , revealed that there had been restrictions on McCarrick , restrictions allegedly lifted by Pope Francis , that a whole host of prelates knew about .
Catholics demanded more answers : Was this true ?
Who else knew ?
What about McCarrick ’ s relationship with Pope Francis ?
The cardinal himself had bragged he helped get the cardinal archbishop of Buenos Aires elected pope .
Was McCarrick part of the so-called St. Gallen Mafia ?
St. Gallen is in Switzerland — McCarrick studied @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ?
Catholics demanded and waited for what we received Tuesday : the McCarrick Report .
I ’ ve read the entire McCarrick Report , and I can ’ t answer the questions about Switzerland .
All the Report has to say about his youthful sojourn there is that after graduating from Fordham Prep in 1949 , McCarrick “ attended the Institute Rosenberg and the École Lémania , which helped him develop a facility in French , German and Italian.
” This sounds pretty snazzy for the only child of a widowed factory worker @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is never explained .
About any early patrons , the Report says absolutely nothing — unless you count the grandmother and aunt who helped raise him .
A striking thing about the McCarrick Report is its sheer bulk .
Since the 256-page Amoris Laetitia and its fatal footnote 351 , we ’ ve learned to distrust long documents coming from the Vatican : what are they hiding ?
With the McCarrick Report , it is hard to say .
Perhaps its attempt to destroy the credibility of Pope Francis ’ arch-critic Archbishop Carlo @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by the time I got to the first footnote attacking Viganò ’ s testimony in detail ( 600 ) , although , to be fair , Viganò makes his first appearance on page 10 .
If we were to take the McCarrick Report at face value — and it has already been accused by one of its 90 witnesses of falsifying his testimony — we would find Viganò an odd , two-faced character .
In 2006 and 2008 , he wrote warnings to his superiors about McCarrick , but in 2011 he allegedly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is thus made a scapegoat for the inaction of the then-Prefect of the Congregation for Bishops , Cardinal Ouellet , in the matter .
After page 278 the Report aims at refuting the former nuncio ’ s testimony when it can , and casting doubt on it when it can not .
I look very much forward to Viganò ’ s response .
Pope Francis , interviewed for the Report , says he can not remember having any conversation with Viganò about McCarrick .
The Report says there is no recorded evidence of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the Report .
It ’ s a tragic one .
Throughout the account , bishops and archbishops ashamedly discuss rumours , allegations and anonymous letters about McCarrick , and they always decide they are unfounded .
It wasn ’ t just prelates , either : scandal-sniffing journalists like David Gibson followed up aging stories that McCarrick had abused seminarians in a Jersey shore beach house and came up with nothing .
Another tragic theme : all these top prelates ’ utter faith in McCarrick ’ s holiness .
When John Paul II @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Cardinal John O ’ Connor , passed over McCarrick for the Archdiocese of Chicago , and then that of New York and , at first , that of Washington , D.C. , it wasn ’ t because he and his advisors ever thought Uncle Ted was guilty of sexual sin .
It was because they were afraid the rumors would appear in the media .
Not that there wasn ’ t cover-up .
Dead prelates tell no tales , but according to the Report , two American bishops ( now deceased ) witnessed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ priest , and another American bishop ( also deceased ) heard complaints from at least three young clerics that McCarrick had assaulted them .
Apparently the first two bishops did not report what they had seen even when asked about McCarrick by a papal nuncio , and the third was almost equally as incommunicative when he was consulted by Cardinal O ’ Connor .
The stories , by the way , are disgusting .
Also disgusting is the apparent lack of concern among the prelates in the report for potential victims older than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 449 , contains a quote by Pope Francis commiserating solely with minor victims of sexual abuse .
One of the gifts McCarrick brought to the table ( and made darned sure Pope John Paul II knew about ) was his ability to inspire priestly vocations .
Well , this Report is almost sure to repress them .
What Catholic parents will want their sons in a seminary unless they are assured by every level of the hierarchy that their boys , be they 17 or 47 , will not be sexually abused ?
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ was recruited himself before or during his own seminary days for any nefarious purpose .
( The KGB tried it in the 1980s , however — see Footnote 127 . )
What it does underscore , in lavish detail , is that for decades McCarrick was one of the hardest-working , most intelligent , most connected , and most popular bishops in the United States of America .
For every ALL-CAPS anonymous letter accusing him of pedophilia , there were ten letters from superiors and then brother bishops praising him to the skies @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
( He also gave everyone money , although oddly the Report dances over that . )
The Report practically argues that John Paul II needed him in D.C. to mend fences with the White House .
In an interview the Vatican did with McCarrick for the Report , the broken old lizard said , “ People in the Conference ask , ‘ How did he rise in the ranks ?
’ Well , they know well how I rose in the ranks : I worked very hard , for them as well @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do most of the things I did.
” Having gone through lists of the committees and organizations McCarrick was involved in and the number of trips he took , I believe him there .
But having read some of his letters , I think carefully balanced flattery , mixed with convincing shows of obedience , humility , piety , etc.
, accelerated his success , too .
Thus , although I still wonder about that pricey education , I don ’ t think there was a shadowy cabal behind McCarrick : I think @ @ @ @ @ @ @ played everybody .
He played John Paul II , no dummy .
He played Obama , no saint .
In the post-2005 “ sanctions ” era , McCarrick told people he had “ enemies in Rome ” to cover up why he didn ’ t appear in public as much as he used to .
Most of the story of what McCarrick did to boys under 18 , mostly from the New York families he claimed as his own , is at the end of the Report .
This is presumably because these @ @ @ @ @ @ @ See until 2017 .
The Report does not go into detail , but the account is heart-breaking as it is .
All those Catholic families were so pleased and proud to be chosen by a charming priest to be his family , and sexually abusing some of their boys is how he repaid them .
“ Uncle Ted ” exploited the natural respect , trust and affection American Catholic families had for priests and bishops , thereby destroying it , possibly forever .
What lessons can we take from the Report ?
First @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the Report .
A warning from Dr. Richard Fitzgibbons that the Report misrepresented his testimony appeared yesterday in Catholic World Report .
The McCarrick Report also goes after Archbishop Viganò in a way it does not go after any other witness : this is clearly personal .
The Report is also strangely reticent about the role money played in McCarrick ’ s life .
Second , McCarrick was brilliant at fooling people , so you may want at least to consider that before ripping up your icons of St. John Paul II @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Cardinal John O ’ Connor , who clearly agonized over sending upstairs what he thought were false rumors about a friend .
Third , anonymous letters and gossip might be enough to stop dodgy prelates now , but they weren ’ t in 1999 .
I was particularly struck by the testimony of Religion News Service ’ s David Gibson and his failure to find a beach house victim .
Clever McCarrick seems to have shared a bed with dozens of men he didn ’ t touch , thus making it harder for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the ones he did .
But without a first-hand testimony , Gibson couldn ’ t expose McCarrick .
I can guess how he felt : I ’ m sitting on at least two separate abuse stories now .
The problem is , no victims have come forward .
No first-hand testimony , no story .
No story on one of them , and chances are my generation ’ s McCarrick is already on the rise .

VATICAN CITY, November 12, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) — “Why the trip to Switzerland during his youth?” I was asked today over Twitter.
“When did he ‘go bad’? Was he recruited by other evil men?”
“He,” of course, is Theodore Edgar McCarrick, the former cardinal whose exalted career crashed and burned in 2017 after a credible allegation that he had sexually molested a teenage boy was received by the Archdiocese of New York. When the news hit the headlines, we also learned that there had been rumors for years that McCarrick had sexually molested adults. And not just rumors: settlements.
As new allegations of McCarrick’s abuse appeared in the media, angry Catholics demanded an explanation of how such a man could become an auxiliary bishop of New York, let alone the bishop of Metuchen, the archbishop of Newark and, finally, the cardinal archbishop of Washington, D.C.
Then another explosion: a former papal nuncio to the United States, Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, revealed that there had been restrictions on McCarrick, restrictions allegedly lifted by Pope Francis, that a whole host of prelates knew about. Catholics demanded more answers: Was this true? Who else knew?
What about McCarrick’s relationship with Pope Francis? The cardinal himself had bragged he helped get the cardinal archbishop of Buenos Aires elected pope. Was McCarrick part of the so-called St. Gallen Mafia? St. Gallen is in Switzerland — McCarrick studied in Switzerland — was there a connection?
Catholics demanded and waited for what we received Tuesday: the McCarrick Report.
I’ve read the entire McCarrick Report, and I can’t answer the questions about Switzerland. All the Report has to say about his youthful sojourn there is that after graduating from Fordham Prep in 1949, McCarrick “attended the Institute Rosenberg and the École Lémania, which helped him develop a facility in French, German and Italian.”
This sounds pretty snazzy for the only child of a widowed factory worker, but where the money came from is never explained. About any early patrons, the Report says absolutely nothing — unless you count the grandmother and aunt who helped raise him.
A striking thing about the McCarrick Report is its sheer bulk. Since the 256-page Amoris Laetitia and its fatal footnote 351, we’ve learned to distrust long documents coming from the Vatican: what are they hiding?
With the McCarrick Report, it is hard to say. Perhaps its attempt to destroy the credibility of Pope Francis’ arch-critic Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò. I was certainly tired by the time I got to the first footnote attacking Viganò’s testimony in detail (600), although, to be fair, Viganò makes his first appearance on page 10.
If we were to take the McCarrick Report at face value — and it has already been accused by one of its 90 witnesses of falsifying his testimony — we would find Viganò an odd, two-faced character. In 2006 and 2008, he wrote warnings to his superiors about McCarrick, but in 2011 he allegedly disobeyed instructions to investigate him.
Viganò is thus made a scapegoat for the inaction of the then-Prefect of the Congregation for Bishops, Cardinal Ouellet, in the matter. After page 278 the Report aims at refuting the former nuncio’s testimony when it can, and casting doubt on it when it cannot. I look very much forward to Viganò’s response. Pope Francis, interviewed for the Report, says he cannot remember having any conversation with Viganò about McCarrick. The Report says there is no recorded evidence of it.
Evidence is a major theme in the Report. It’s a tragic one. Throughout the account, bishops and archbishops ashamedly discuss rumours, allegations and anonymous letters about McCarrick, and they always decide they are unfounded. It wasn’t just prelates, either: scandal-sniffing journalists like David Gibson followed up aging stories that McCarrick had abused seminarians in a Jersey shore beach house and came up with nothing.
Another tragic theme: all these top prelates’ utter faith in McCarrick’s holiness. When John Paul II, advised by New York’s Cardinal John O’Connor, passed over McCarrick for the Archdiocese of Chicago, and then that of New York and, at first, that of Washington, D.C., it wasn’t because he and his advisors ever thought Uncle Ted was guilty of sexual sin.
It was because they were afraid the rumors would appear in the media.

Let's get to 25000 ! Thank you for signing this petition! Add your signature: Show Petition Text Country... State... Sign this Petition Remarks attributed to Pope Francis (and, not denied by the Vatican) in support of homosexual civil unions have caused grave scandal to the faithful. Please SIGN this urgent petition which asks Pope Francis to clarify and rectify these heterodox and scandalous remarks on homosexual civil unions, and which will be delivered both to the Vatican and to the Papal Nuncio of the United States (the Pope's official representative in the U.S.). As the last guarantor of the Faith, the Pope should clarify and rectify these remarks, which go against the perennial teaching of the Church, even including the teaching of his living predecessor, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI. "What we have to create is a law of civil coexistence [meaning civil union law, for homosexuals]...," Pope Francis is reported to have remarked, in what is arguably his clearest statement of public support for a practice morally prohibited by official Catholic Church teaching. In fact, the Church has been crystal clear in Her opposition to homosexual unions. Just in 2003, Pope Saint John Paul II approved a document from the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, titled 'Considerations Regarding Proposals to Give Legal Recognition to Unions between Homosexual Persons' and written by Cardinal Ratzinger (now, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI), which concludes with the following: "The Church teaches that respect for homosexual persons cannot lead in any way to approval of homosexual behaviour or to legal recognition of homosexual unions. The common good requires that laws recognize, promote and protect marriage as the basis of the family, the primary unit of society. Legal recognition of homosexual unions or placing them on the same level as marriage would mean not only the approval of deviant behaviour, with the consequence of making it a model in present-day society, but would also obscure basic values which belong to the common inheritance of humanity. The Church cannot fail to defend these values, for the good of men and women and for the good of society itself." It could not be more clear: the Church is calling people to repentance, not to be left to indulge in grave sin. Since becoming public, several senior prelates as well as other notable Catholic figures have voiced their opposition to these remarks attributed to the Pontiff. Cardinal Raymond Burke stated: "It is a source of deepest sadness and pressing pastoral concern that the private opinions reported with so much emphasis by the press and attributed to Pope Francis do not correspond to the constant teaching of the Church, as it is expressed in Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition." Cardinal Gerhard Müller commented: "Where there is tension between the plain and obvious Word of God and the infallible interpretation on the one hand, and private expressions of opinion even by the highest church authorities on the other, the principle always applies: in dubio pro DEO [When in doubt, be in favor of God]." And, Catholic theologian and apologist Scott Hahn, without directly quoting Pope Francis, shared on Facebook the 'Letter to the Bishops of the Catholic Church on the Pastoral Care of Homosexual Persons,' published by the CDF in 1986, with the statement: "Holy Father, respectfully and humbly, I beg to differ... if that is indeed what you said. In any case, please clarify and rectify your statement, especially in view of the official teaching of our Lord through the magisterium of His Church." But, the silence from the Vatican has been deafening, with no clarification forthcoming. We must, therefore, ask the Pope for clarification in this serious matter. Please SIGN and SHARE this petition which asks Pope Francis to clarify and rectify remarks attributed to him in support of homosexual civil unions. FOR MORE INFORMATION: 'Cdl.

Not that there wasn’t cover-up. Dead prelates tell no tales, but according to the Report, two American bishops (now deceased) witnessed a drunken McCarrick groping a terrified young priest, and another American bishop (also deceased) heard complaints from at least three young clerics that McCarrick had assaulted them. Apparently the first two bishops did not report what they had seen even when asked about McCarrick by a papal nuncio, and the third was almost equally as incommunicative when he was consulted by Cardinal O’Connor. The stories, by the way, are disgusting.
Also disgusting is the apparent lack of concern among the prelates in the report for potential victims older than 18. The conclusion, on page 449, contains a quote by Pope Francis commiserating solely with minor victims of sexual abuse. One of the gifts McCarrick brought to the table (and made darned sure Pope John Paul II knew about) was his ability to inspire priestly vocations.
Well, this Report is almost sure to repress them. What Catholic parents will want their sons in a seminary unless they are assured by every level of the hierarchy that their boys, be they 17 or 47, will not be sexually abused?
The Report does not suggest that McCarrick was recruited himself before or during his own seminary days for any nefarious purpose. (The KGB tried it in the 1980s, however — see Footnote 127.) What it does underscore, in lavish detail, is that for decades McCarrick was one of the hardest-working, most intelligent, most connected, and most popular bishops in the United States of America.
For every ALL-CAPS anonymous letter accusing him of pedophilia, there were ten letters from superiors and then brother bishops praising him to the skies. McCarrick knew everyone, charmed everyone. (He also gave everyone money, although oddly the Report dances over that.) The Report practically argues that John Paul II needed him in D.C. to mend fences with the White House.
In an interview the Vatican did with McCarrick for the Report, the broken old lizard said, “People in the Conference ask, ‘How did he rise in the ranks?’ Well, they know well how I rose in the ranks: I worked very hard, for them as well. They were happy to have me do most of the things I did.” Having gone through lists of the committees and organizations McCarrick was involved in and the number of trips he took, I believe him there.

What lessons can we take from the Report?
First of all, not to trust wholeheartedly in the Report. A warning from Dr. Richard Fitzgibbons that the Report misrepresented his testimony appeared yesterday in Catholic World Report. The McCarrick Report also goes after Archbishop Viganò in a way it does not go after any other witness: this is clearly personal. The Report is also strangely reticent about the role money played in McCarrick’s life.
Second, McCarrick was brilliant at fooling people, so you may want at least to consider that before ripping up your icons of St. John Paul II. And say a prayer for poor Cardinal John O’Connor, who clearly agonized over sending upstairs what he thought were false rumors about a friend.
Third, anonymous letters and gossip might be enough to stop dodgy prelates now, but they weren’t in 1999. I was particularly struck by the testimony of Religion News Service’s David Gibson and his failure to find a beach house victim.

No first-hand testimony, no story. No story on one of them, and chances are my generation’s McCarrick is already on the rise.

November 12 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) — In light of the presidential election , huge prayer rallies are taking place daily outside state capitols , as people pray in support of President Donald Trump and election integrity and reform .
While the mainstream media have called the race for Joe Biden , the official results have not yet been certified and there are many reports of voter fraud and irregularities that must still be investigated .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ vision that an Evangelical and Catholic received independently of each other , of people of faith coming together to pray , be unified , and rise up for the cause of truth and justice .
Jericho Marches are peaceful , prayerful rallies , where those gathered walk around a certain place seven times .
The idea is drawn directly from the Bible , for the book of Joshua records how God called Joshua to gather the Israelites together and march round the city of Jericho for seven days , and on the seventh @ @ @ @ @ @ @ times in order to obtain the victory .
“ So all the people making a shout , and the trumpets sounding , when the voice and the sound thundered in the ears of the multitude , the walls forthwith fell down : and every man went up by the place that was over against him : and they took the city , ” Scripture says .
The current Jericho Marches started on November 5 as a prayerful protest urging elected officials to provide transparency in each state ’ s election results after many @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and questionable activity that has occurred in this election .
As people of faith , the participants are marching and praying for truth to come to light .
The participants are praying for state hand-counted audits and recounts of all legal ballots to be done , fraudulent and illegal activities to be identified , and final votes to be rectified to reveal the true will of the American people in this election .
The official Facebook page for the nation-wide events calls all patriots and people of faith to a “ [ p @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and fasting in support of President Trump , as well as election integrity and reform.
” Participants believe that what is at stake is not only the result of this election , but whether America will have an election free from fraud and interference ever again .
The group seeks the truth not only about this election , but also true election reform to protect American freedoms and the integrity of the election process .
Members of the Jericho Marches comprise of Judeo-Christians who pray , sing hymns , carry banners or flags @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and blow shofars , all in peaceful demonstration and according to their particular expression of their Judeo-Christian faith .
While the marches are particularly focused on the battleground states , which have been the subject of numerous ballot irregularities , they are occurring daily at noon local time in state capitols in every state across the nation , including at the U.S. Capitol .
Individuals and groups are self-led .
The marches will run until December 14 across the country , when the electoral college officially casts the votes for the president and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ planning a massive national march in Washington , D.C. on December 12 , 2020 called “ ROAR !
” with national leaders , faith and worship leaders , and others to express support for President Trump and election integrity and reform .
The national march coincides with the Catholic feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe , patroness of the Americas and the unborn .
Well-known Catholic author and YouTuber Dr. Taylor Marshall recently presented a short video explaining the marches , stating they are to show support for President Trump , “ but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ viewers to “ be a witness .
This will hurt nothing ; it can only do good .
Make it peaceful , make it prayerful.
” Videos of Jericho Marches taking place have already been emerging online .
Organizers estimate at least 700,000 people have so far taken part in the marches since their commencement last Thursday .
The Marches reflect a call issued by Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò , who on the day after the election warned of “ the most colossal electoral fraud in history , ” and beseeched people to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ make an act of trust in God , an act of humility and filial devotion to The Lord of Armies .
I ask that all of you pray the Holy Rosary , if possible in your families or with your dear ones , your friends , your brothers and sisters , your colleagues , your fellow soldiers .

PETITION UPDATE (1/15/2021) -
The events of the past month, and especially the past 10 days, have shaken the faith Americans have in their elected and appoint officials.
We continue to call for investigations to be made into allegations of election fraud. Texas is in the process of prosecuting one political operative for illegal ballot harvesting, and multiple state legislatures have called for investigations, too.
However, the judiciary has severely let down the American electorate.
As we have said all along, the integrity of the election is much bigger than President Trump. Election integrity is at the heart of republican democracy, and if we don't have it, we no longer have a functioning republic.
Therefore, we continue to seek the truth for the election outcome. Perhaps that will only be known in the future when state or federal commissions are established to investigate the instances of election fraud which were witnessed and sworn to, by thousands of Americans of all political persuasions.
In the meantime, you may still sign this petition. Thank you!
___________________________________________________________________
PETITION UPDATE (12/10/20) -
On Wednesday, President Trump tweeted: "We will be INTERVENING in the Texas (plus many other states) case. This is the big one. Our Country needs a victory!"
He is referring to the lawsuit which the state of Texas has filed against Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Georgia in the Supreme Court over changes those states made to their election rules, claiming they violated the U.S. Constitution in the process.
Here is the central part of the argument: if Texas were to allow possible voter fraud to go unchecked in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Georgia, it would be akin to committing fraud upon the people of Texas, who cast their ballots within the framework of the law.
Indeed, this would apply equally to all citizens who voted within the framework of the law across the United States!
President Trump also tweeted that this case is, "very strong...ALL CRITERIA MET."
Please continue to SIGN and SHARE this urgent petition, now.
____________________________________________________________________
PETITION UPDATE (12/7/20) - Since this petition was launched, President Trump's legal team, as well as other concerned citizens, have discovered what appears to be irrefutable evidence of voter fraud in several of the key battleground states, and have initiated legal challenges in six states.
While the situation continues to evolve, this remains a hugely important petition which we encourage you to SIGN and SHARE.
Below, please WATCH and READ about the mounting evidence of voter fraud and how the mainstream media seem determined to ignore even the most egregious instances of vote tampering. Then, please SIGN and SHARE this petition.
'Trump: ‘Our election system is now under assault and siege’ and as president I must defend it'
'Tens of thousands 2020 election votes illegally scanned in Detroit, says Dominion IT contractor'
'Trump campaign files lawsuit demanding ‘a new statewide election for president’ in Georgia'
'Experts flag over 500k ballots in PA with new evidence of major 2020 election voter fraud'
''Smoking gun'? Pennsylvania vote fraud hearing gets gasps from audience'
'FBI and Justice Department have dragged their feet investigating 2020 vote fraud'
''CNN top brass in leaked tape: We won't give Trump 'too much of a platform on his not conceding'
'Twitter censored Trump 63 times over Thanksgiving holiday, Biden untouched'
LifeSite supports President Trump with this petition because we believe he is trying to defend the Constitution, ensuring that electoral fraud does not taint the result of the 2020 general election.
But, since starting this petition, we have launched a separate petition related to the disputed election outcome, calling on the Department of Justice to 'do their job' and engage in meaningful investigations of the mounting evidence of voter fraud.
We believe that conducting forensic audits of ballots and voting machines, as well as issuing subpoenas to collect more evidence, would be a good start.
Thankfully, some of the state started to demand investigations independent of federal agencies. But we still believe that the DoJ needs to use its enormous fact-finding resources to help resolve allegations of election fraud.
Thank you for continuing to SIGN and SHARE all our election-related petitions.
_____________________________________________________________________
Please SIGN and SHARE this urgent petition which calls on all Americans to Stand With President Trump as he uses every legitimate means to find out if voter fraud played any role in the election outcome.
Amid allegations of voter fraud, and at a time when the situation with COVID has been used by many of the states to facilitate the use of mail-in ballots on a massive scale, we need to be very careful in dismissing the possibility of voter fraud.
The fact is, the possibility of wide-spread fraud with mail-in ballots is significant.
But, this is not about Donald Trump or Joe Biden! This about whether or not the sanctity of the ballot box has been tampered with!
Please Stand With President Trump as he attempts to defend the integrity of this election, as well as well as the right to vote itself!
Indeed, this is so important, not so much because one election hangs in the balance, but because our democracy, itself, hangs in the balance.
Americans not only have a right to know, but should demand that every legitimate means be used to discover the truth about these elections!
Please SIGN this petition and Stand With President Trump to ensure that these elections were conducted freely and fairly!
While most all Americans believe in playing by the rules, we also know that some very devious, politically-motivated operatives have been trying to harm the Trump administration from before he even took the oath of office.
This fact should lead us to question how some allegations of voter fraud can be so easily dismissed by state election authorities.
We demand to know the truth, and, for the sake of our democracy, we demand that President Trump keep fighting to learn the truth.
Thank you for SIGNING and SHARING this petition today!

November 12 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) — Pennsylvania Secretary of the Commonwealth Kathy Boockvar “ lacked statutory authority ” to direct state election officials to count mail-in ballots even if they did not receive proof of identification by November 9 , President Judge Mary Hannah Leavitt of Pennsylvania ruled Thursday in a victory for the Trump campaign ’ s legal campaign to prevent the state from being certified for Democrat nominee Joe Biden .
The U.S. @ @ @ @ @ @ @ election officials in Pennsylvania ( as well as North Carolina ) could accept absentee ballots for up to three days after the election , though the court also ruled several days later that all ballots that would arrive beyond the legal deadline be segregated and counted separately , in response to a lawsuit by state Republicans to stop a last-minute rule change by Boockvar that allowed the ballots to be counted and co-mingled with ballots that had arrived on time .
But on Thursday , Leavitt ruled that the Secretary of the Commonwealth @ @ @ @ @ @ @ November 1 , 2020 , guidance to Respondents County Boards of Elections insofar as that guidance purported to change the deadline [ ... ] for certain electors to verify proof of identification.
” “ Accordingly , the Court hereby ORDERS that Respondents County Boards of Elections are enjoined from counting any ballots that have been segregated ” pursuant to the court ’ s previous order on the matter .
WCSI notes that the order represents a victory for the Trump campaign , which needs Pennsylvania ’ s 20 electoral votes to stand even @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Boockvar said Tuesday that the state received approximately 10,000 ballots after the polls closed , and was still in the process of counting 94,000 provisional ballots that had been given to voters on election day .
Biden currently holds a 53,978 lead over Trump in the state .
Most national news networks have called the race for Biden , but no election results have been certified yet .
Recounts are pending in Georgia and likely in Wisconsin and potentially additional states , and the Trump campaign is pursuing challenges based on evidence @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Michigan , Nevada , and another Pennsylvania dispute over allowing its campaign workers to observe the vote counting .

lifesitenews--2020-11-12--WATCH: MIT Phd finds clear evidence computer program moved Trump votes to Biden in Michigan

November 12 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) – On Nov. 10 , Fox Business host Lou Dobbs remarked , “ I don ’ t care what state you ’ re in , this computer voting system is wide open to fraud and intervention.
” The President retweeted Dobbs ’ remark a little while later , adding : “ True , and wait until you see what ’ s coming !
” Part of what was coming was quickly revealed , when the Trump campaign filed suit in Michigan asking that the Secretary of State be enjoined from certifying the vote @ @ @ @ @ @ @ computers can be examined to verify its accuracy .
Now it should be obvious to everyone who has ever used a computer that Lou Dobbs is right .
It wouldn ’ t take a programming genius to write a script that would instruct a voting computer to flip votes from one candidate to another .
Proving that this has happened is another matter though since—you will be surprised to learn -- most voting computers don ’ t save a scan of the actual ballot .
Instead , they simply read the ballot and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ means that unless you can actually examine the actual computer and its operating software—something that the manufacturers and operators of such equipment fiercely resist , citing security concerns -- you can ’ t easily prove fraud .
But there are tells that suggest that someone is manipulating the vote .
Such sleuthing usually involves looking for unusual patterns in the resulting data .
And Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai , looking at voting tabulations from the state of Michigan , has found one that stands out .
Dr. Ayyadurai , I should note , is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ holds four degrees from MIT and is a world-renowned systems scientist , inventor , and entrepreneur .
He and his team set out to look at the precinct-level voting data from the recent election reported by the four most populous counties in Michigan : Wayne , Macomb , and Oakland counties in the Detroit metropolitan area , and Kent county where Grand Rapids is located .
Now everyone knows that America ’ s inner cities are deep blue Democrat , shading gradually through the suburbs to the deep-red Republican of the countryside .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ to find , as the percentage of Republican voters increased , that the President ’ s vote totals would keep pace .
( There would be some exceptions , of course , for precincts home to colleges and prisons , but by and large this is what you would expect . )
But when they plotted the precinct data that ’ s not what they found .
Instead , they found that the redder the precinct , the more President Trump underperformed .
That is to say , the higher the percentage of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in relative terms .
The graphs for three counties—Macomb , Oakland and Kent—are remarkably consistent .
( You can view them on Dr. Ayyadurai ’ s YouTube presentation here . )
What they show is that , in precincts where Republicans are 20 percent or less , the vote for President Trump kept pace .
But as soon as Republicans numbers more than 20 percent , he strangely starts losing votes .
And the more Republican the precinct , the more votes he loses .
This doesn ’ t make sense .
We @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s support is among Republicans .
And then there is this : In all three counties , the president ’ s vote reduction falls in a straight line with almost the same slope .
Such data patterns do not occur by random chance .
It suggests to me that , in the bowels of the voting machine , some little algorithm is working away , calculating the percentage of the vote that Trump is receiving , and then switching votes to Biden when he begins to pull away .
This is exactly what @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at 20 % [ President Trump ’ s ] vote gets linearly reduced .
… as if an algorithm kicked in and votes were getting cut from Trump.
” So how many votes did Trump lose in these three counties alone ?
Dr. Shiva suggests that the number is at least 69,000 , and maybe more .
There are dozens of other counties in Michigan where this could have happened as well .
Bear in mind that , as of this writing , the President is only “ losing ” Michigan by 156,000 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ legal team is trying to get their hands on the actual computers so that they and their software can be examined .
Finding an actual algorithm that docked votes from Trump while adding them to Biden would constitute proof positive that computer ballot fraud had occurred .
One final note : If evidence of vote-switching can be found in the form of an algorithm , Americans will want to know who is responsible for engaging in this election heist .
Old-style ballot stuffing of the kind that may have occurred in downtown Detroit @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on local pols .
But who is going to take the fall if it turns out that computerized voting systems have been rigged all across the country to favor Dems ?
Just a guess , but I think this could go all the way to the top .

November 12, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) plans to track coronavirus vaccine recipients through a smartphone app and send them daily text messages the week after they’re injected. The CDC will then contact them “weekly for six weeks,” the Wall Street Journal reported.
In an effort to get COVID-19 vaccines to the public as quickly as possible, the U.S. Government and drug companies are planning to replace some testing safeguards with tracking measures in which vaccine recipients report any serious side effects.
The pharmaceutical company Pfizer announced earlier this week that its coronavirus vaccine – which consists of two shots three weeks apart – is “90% effective in preventing COVID-19.” The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is expected to grant that vaccine emergency use authorization “within weeks,” according to Business Insider.
According to the Wall Street Journal:
The [CDC’s coronavirus monitoring] measures include surveys tracked through a smartphone app developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and special monitoring for groups including pregnant women and the elderly, according to health officials and company executives involved in the plans. The CDC plans to send daily texts to people who get vaccinated, steering them to web surveys to self-report chills and other potential symptoms following vaccination. The smartphone-based system, V-SAFE, will send the surveys to anyone vaccinated who provides contact information.
After any vaccines are cleared for widespread use, those who took part in the clinical trials will continue to be monitored along with those new to the program. V-SAFE is apparently meant to make up for the lack of clinical trials that need to be conducted over a period of time in order to ensure both the efficacy and safety of any vaccine.
Critics warn measures like tracking apps are a stepping–stone toward greater surveillance of individuals by their governments.
Former Apostolic Nuncio to the United States Carlo Maria Viganò warned President Donald Trump in an October 25 letter about the “Great Reset,” a global plan to impose coercive measures in order to subdue all of humanity. In that letter, Viganò explained the role of widespread COVID-19 vaccination within that plan:
Beyond the enormous economic interests that motivate the promoters of the Great Reset, the imposition of the vaccination will be accompanied by the requirement of a health passport and a digital ID, with the consequent contact tracing of the population of the entire world. Those who do not accept these measures will be confined in detention camps or placed under house arrest, and all their assets will be confiscated.
Viganò points out that the World Economic Forum is behind the Great Reset, and the group already has backed programs that advance “mass digital identification and COVID-19 vaccination,” as LifeSiteNews reported:
Since July, the Forum has worked to develop digital health passes used to verify the coronavirus test status of travelers. This project, called Common Pass, was launched in collaboration with representatives from 37 governments and ultimately seeks to provide “a standard global model” for COVID-19 passes. ID2020 promotes COVID-19 passes, like the WEF, and aspires “to enable access to digital identity for every person on the planet,” with vaccination as a potential “entry point.” The group was founded, in part, through the World Economic Forum and counts WEF as an early supporter.
A British version of the COVID-19 app has been available since September 4. An article in the Independent explains how to obtain the app and what happens when someone starts using it:
As it works in the background, the app will be listening out for contact-tracing alerts. If your phone detects that it was in contact with a phone owned by somebody who has tested positive for coronavirus, it will give you an alert that will also include official advice about what you should do. You can also use the app in more active ways, if you think you might have been exposed to covid-19. The app lets you report symptoms, book a test, and provides a self-isolation countdown that will alert you when the period is over. It is possible to switch off the contact-tracing part of the app through a toggle at the bottom of the screen. Official guidance recommends that this is done in limited situations where those contacts might not actually be spreading the disease – but the option is available at any time, and so can theoretically be used if you ever want to switch it off for any other reason.

VATICAN CITY , November 12 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) — Pope Francis and pro-abortion Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden talked on the phone this morning , with the Holy Father extending “ extending blessings and congratulations ” to Biden .
The media had called the presidential race for Joe Biden last Saturday , while election results are not yet officially certified .
In a short press statement released on the Biden-Harris transition website , Biden “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ congratulations and noted his appreciation for His Holiness ’ leadership in promoting peace , reconciliation , and the common bonds of humanity around the world.
” Biden then “ expressed his desire to work together on the basis of a shared belief in the dignity and equality of all humankind on issues such as caring for the marginalized and the poor , addressing the crisis of climate change , and welcoming and integrating immigrants and refugees into our communities.
” The media are characterizing the event as a call from the Pope to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Kennedy in the 1960s .
Despite the media calling the race for Biden , the official result has not yet been certified , and President Trump is currently taking legal action regarding widespread voter fraud concerns .
Shortly after the media called the election for Biden , Trump issued a statement in which he wrote , “ We all know why Joe Biden is rushing to falsely pose as the winner , and why his media allies are trying so hard to help him : they don ’ t want the truth to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ The simple fact is this election is far from over .
Joe Biden has not been certified as the winner of any states , let alone any of the highly contested states headed for mandatory recounts , or states where our campaign has valid and legitimate legal challenges that could determine the ultimate victor.
” Footage of Pope Francis was used in a Biden campaign video earlier in the year .
Biden heavily praised the Pope for his “ generosity to other people … reaching out … making it a point to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s keeper.
” A previous campaign ad had also featured the Pope , as Biden had highlighted his Catholic faith in a bid to draw the Catholic vote .
Late last year , Biden evidenced the depth of relation which he enjoyed with Pope Francis .
After Biden was denied receiving Holy Communion by a priest , in accordance with canon law , Biden stated , “ It ’ s not a position that I ’ ve found anywhere else , including from the Holy Father , who gives me Communion.
” Joe @ @ @ @ @ @ @ express support for abortion as well as LGBT ideology .
He recently called abortion an “ essential health service ” and wishes to enshrine abortion into federal law .
Biden also advocates a number of policies which would promote LGBT ideology in everyday life in America , as well as across the world .
The Catholic Church teaches that abortion is always wrong , because it kills an innocent human being , thus violating the Church ’ s prohibition on murder , and that homosexual acts are “ intrinsically disordered ” and “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” ( CCC 2270-2272 ; CCC 2357 ) .
Cardinal Raymond Burke , former Prefect of the Apostolic Signatura , gave an interview in September in which he referenced Biden , saying that “ a Catholic may not support abortion in any shape or form because it is one of the most grievous sins against human life , and has always been considered to be intrinsically evil.
” Cardinal Burke gave another interview just days prior to the presidential election , in which he condemned Biden ’ s positions on life , marriage @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t imagine that he would present himself as a devout Catholic , ” Burke said .
“ He has a record which is unfortunately perfect in promoting the attack on the innocent defense of the unborn … He is also not correct on the issues with regard to marriage and the family .
The great darkness in our nation comes from the wholesale slaughter of the unborn , the attack on the family , all this gender theory … and now the attack on religious freedom.
” LifeSiteNews co-founder John-Henry Western pointed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ encyclical Fratelli Tutti , it is “ painfully obvious that the Pope is pushing for Trump ’ s defeat , even going so far as to downplay the importance of abortion to Catholics in a manner threatening the Catholic faith itself.
” Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò illustrated the relation between Biden and Pope Francis in an October interview , saying , “ If Trump loses the presidential elections , the final kathèkon [ withholder ] will fail ( 2 Thess 2:6-7 ) , that which prevents the ‘ mystery of iniquity ’ from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the New World Order , which has already won Bergoglio over to its cause , will have an ally in the new American President.

lifesitenews--2020-11-12--‘Mandatory vaccination is madness’: American doctor

November 12 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) — A mandatory Covid-19 vaccine is “ madness ” in light of irrefutable evidence about how vaccines work and the record of criminal convictions against the pharmaceutical giants that develop them , according to Dr. Leland Stillman .
No vaccine is effective , all carry risks , including death and disability , and “ the vast majority of patients who develop any viral illness have a mild , self-limited course ” while “ only a minority are affected by severe disability or death , ” the 32-year-old American doctor said during a recent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , vaccine manufacturers have no liability for their products , pharmaceutical corporations “ are regularly convicted on criminal charges of misleading the public and abusing their trust , ” and the vaccine industry is “ rife ” with conflicts of interest between government and industry , Stillman said .
Indeed , the last “ vestige of …decency ” in the “ whole vaccine controversy ” is that Americans still have the right to say : “ I am morally opposed to this .
I don ’ t want to take , ” he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ organized by California-based Catholic writer and broadcaster Patrick Coffin .
“ Mandatory vaccination puts the public health into the hands of convicted criminals in the pharmaceutical industry , while putting the financial and personal liability on the taxpayer , ” Stillman pointed out .
“ That is not even to mention the money that is being spent by the taxpayer on vaccine research.
” It was the widespread “ talk about forced vaccination ” that prompted Stillman to go public with his opposition in September , he told Coffin in an online Q @ @ @ @ @ @ @ further I look into the histories of , for example , viral contagions , particularly ones like this , the less and less I find the idea of a vaccine appealing at all , let alone forced vaccination , ” he said .
As with anything , vaccinations carry both “ risks and benefits , ” said Stillman , a graduate of the University of Virginia School of Medicine who has worked in six states and 12 hospitals. As “ free , independent-thinking people with rights , inalienable rights , we should be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we think are worth it , ” he told Coffin .
“ I don ’ t think it ’ s good medicine to force people to do anything .
That ’ s my stance.
” Stillman does not categorically reject all vaccination , he emphasized in a 12-minute presentation titled “ Mandatory vaccination is madness.
” “ For the record , I am completely up to date on all of my vaccines .
I have prescribed countless vaccines in my career , in good faith , ” he said .
He also noted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ anyone can confirm ” from government and mainstream sources , he will still be labelled a “ conspiracy theorist ” for his opinion .
Painting people as either “ anti-vax ” or “ pro-vax ” has been “ a very careful piece of news spin ” which is a “ terrible disservice , I think , to really the nuance behind this , ” he told Coffin .
Stillman slammed the American government and pharmaceutical companies for causing and profiting off the poor health of Americans , who he said are increasingly malnourished @ @ @ @ @ @ @ infectious diseases — because of the “ bad food policies ” that both Republicans and Democrats support and perpetuate .
Malnourishment is generally overlooked as a diagnosis because “ the sicker people are , the more money the system makes , ” contended Stillman .

” The “ conflicts of interest here are rife between @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ re not overt , ” he told Coffin .
“ People who work in industry go work … for the government then people in the government , in the regulatory bodies , then go work for the private industry , ” he said .
Americans “ subsidized the discovery and research and development of these vaccines to I do n't know how many billions of dollars , ” and now “ we are committing to buying hundreds of thousands or whatever of doses from the manufacturers , the product ’ s not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s not approved yet.
” And is “ the American consumer being compensated for the money they spent developing it ?
” he questioned .
“ I mean , is the Pfizer , Eli Lilly or the AstraZeneca CEO going to sell his summer home to pay for Joe Schmo ’ s restaurant that ’ s gone under ?
I don ’ t think so , ” said Stillman .
“ It just makes me nauseous to watch these bicoastal elites ... allow people in the middle of the country to suffer and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ better take the vaccine.
” Meanwhile , American pharmaceutical giant Pfizer announced this week that its coronavirus vaccine is “ 90 percent effective in preventing COVID-19.
” The Food and Drug Administration is expected to issue “ emergency authorization ” of the vaccine “ within weeks , ” Business Insider reported Tuesday .
The vaccine requires two doses three weeks apart .

Moreover , Sir John Bell , an Oxford professor and member of the UK Vaccine Taskforce proposed that , if and when a vaccine is approved , the government issue three-month “ freedom passes ” for people who have been vaccinated to have the “ freedom to operate ” as normal , the Mirror reported Tuesday .
Stillman predicted as much to Coffin , noting that authorities won ’ t send agents “ busting down doors ” to forcibly inject people if a vaccine @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been proposed by “ major medical journals , ” authorities will ensure compliance by using “ what is effectively economic warfare , marginalizing people from society gradually until the costs of avoiding the vaccine are too great , ” he said .
“ They ’ re going to make it harder to travel .
They ’ re going to make it harder to have certain jobs .
They ’ re going to make it harder to run your business .
Higher taxes , ” Stillman said .
“ I don ’ t know @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but that ’ s how they ’ re going to do it and they ’ re going to ramp that up until the minority that … hangs on to their rights and sticks to their guns , pun intended , is very small , ” he said .
“ And then they can say , basically , you don ’ t get a choice anymore .
We ’ re making the choices for you.
” In this eventuality , there will be doctors who “ basically put their careers and licenses and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to refuse to do what the government is saying , ” Stillman said .
But how many will do so will “ ultimately will depend ” on the choice Americans make in the election , he added .
Stillman was one of 25 speakers — physicians , lawyers , academics , psychiatrists , psychologists , journalists — from seven countries who took part in the October 30/31 summit , which drew about 7,000 attendees , Coffin told LifeSiteNews .

No vaccine is effective, all carry risks, including death and disability, and “the vast majority of patients who develop any viral illness have a mild, self-limited course” while “only a minority are affected by severe disability or death,” the 32-year-old American doctor said during a recent virtual summit on the pandemic.
Moreover, vaccine manufacturers have no liability for their products, pharmaceutical corporations “are regularly convicted on criminal charges of misleading the public and abusing their trust,” and the vaccine industry is “rife” with conflicts of interest between government and industry, Stillman said.
Indeed, the last “vestige of …decency” in the “whole vaccine controversy” is that Americans still have the right to say: “I am morally opposed to this. I don’t want to take,” he contended during the Truth Over Fear Summit organized by California-based Catholic writer and broadcaster Patrick Coffin.

Stillman predicted as much to Coffin, noting that authorities won’t send agents “busting down doors” to forcibly inject people if a vaccine is approved.
Instead, as has been proposed by “major medical journals,” authorities will ensure compliance by using “what is effectively economic warfare, marginalizing people from society gradually until the costs of avoiding the vaccine are too great,” he said.
“They’re going to make it harder to travel. They’re going to make it harder to have certain jobs. They’re going to make it harder to run your business. Higher taxes,” Stillman said.
“I don’t know what it’s going to be, but that’s how they’re going to do it and they’re going to ramp that up until the minority that … hangs on to their rights and sticks to their guns, pun intended, is very small,” he said.
“And then they can say, basically, you don’t get a choice anymore. We’re making the choices for you.”
In this eventuality, there will be doctors who “basically put their careers and licenses and reputations and whatever on the line … to refuse to do what the government is saying,” Stillman said.
But how many will do so will “ultimately will depend” on the choice Americans make in the election, he added.
Stillman was one of 25 speakers — physicians, lawyers, academics, psychiatrists, psychologists, journalists — from seven countries who took part in the October 30/31 summit, which drew about 7,000 attendees, Coffin told LifeSiteNews.
“The hunger for the full truth about this draconian lockdown and its various sideshows is palpable,” he said, adding that he will likely host another summit in 2021.
“This is not going away soon. The oligarchs do not hide their goal of squeezing the lemon on this pseudo-crisis for as long as the masses stay compliant and frightened. Hence the title ‘Truth Over Fear’.”
