lifesitenews--2020-12-21--New report makes understanding the massive 2020 election fraud easy

LifeSiteNews is facing increasing censorship .

December 21 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) – Since election night on November 3rd , reports of ballot fraud have come pouring in almost without pause .
To date , the torrent shows no sign of ebbing .
Just yesterday , a data analyst reported that 23,262 people in Illinois share the same phone number .
Now Illinois is not a state in play , at least in the presidential race , but obviously a lot of “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the same phone number .
Or , more likely , someone is registering a lot of imaginary voters using the same phone number to steal a state or even a congressional seat .
So how is an ordinary voter to make sense of all these reports of ballot fraud , coming in as they are from all across the United States and comprising every variety under the sun ?
One way is by reading “ Immaculate Deception , ” which is Peter Navarro ’ s brilliant compilation of much of the evidence of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ date .
Peter , whom I count as a friend , has reviewed , categorized and summarized hundreds of reports of fraud that have poured in , summarizing them in a very readable 36-page report .
Navarro argues that the Biden campaign and its allies engaged in a national strategy of “ theft by a thousand cuts … across six dimensions and six battleground states.
” In a “ Summary ” graphic , he asserts there is evidence for “ Outright Voter Fraud ” , “ Ballot Mishandling ” , “ Contestable Process @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Violations ” , “ Voting Machine Irregularities ” , and “ Significant Statistical Anomalies ” in each of the six states in question : Arizona , Georgia , Michigan , Nevada , Pennsylvania , and Wisconsin .
He also alleges that in each of these states , with the possible exception of Michigan , there are more than enough illegal ballots to overturn the election results .
Navarro ’ s report goes on to note how President Trump ’ s seemingly insurmountable leads in Georgia , Pennsylvania , Michigan , and Wisconsin on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a flood of mail-in and absentee ballots ” over the next couple of days .
Under “ outright voter fraud ” Navarro lists cases of “ bribery , the large-scale manufacturing of fake ballots for Biden , the destruction of Trump ballots , ballots cast by ineligible voters such as felons and illegal aliens , dead voters and ghost voters , ballots counted multiple times , and illegal out-of-state voters.
” No swing state was free of such abuses , and most had more than one , skewing the election to Biden .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ states had reported cases of “ ‘ ballot mishandling ” , which he defined as “ lack of adequate voter ID check ” , “ signature matching abuses ” , “ backdating of ballots ” , “ naked ballots lacking outer envelope ” , and “ broken chain of custody.
” Each and every one of these lapses provides an occasion for fraud .
What Navarro calls “ contestable process fouls ” were also rampant .
In all of the battleground states he found that poll watchers and observers were abused and practice @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Several experienced other violations such as “ allowing improperly registered people to vote ” , “ illegal campaigning at polling stations , ” and flaunting the rules laid down in state law concerning the processing of mail-in and absentee ballots .
The Equal Protection Clause was violated by each and every one of the battleground states , who imposed higher standards for I.D .
verification for those voting in-person than for those voting by mail .
They also used different standards for ballot curing , and treated Republican and Democrat poll watchers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ different states to conduct elections also contributed to the fraud , reports Navarro , with many states experiencing “ large-scale inaccuracies together with inexplicable vote switching and vote surges , often in favor of Joe Biden ” : Navarro ’ s final category is called “ Significant Statistical Anomalies.
” Here we find numerically inexplicable happenings such as ( 1 ) unusually higher voter turnout , sometimes in excess of 100 percent of eligible voters , ( 2 ) unusual increases in absentee ballot acceptance rates , ( 3 ) statistically unlikely results @ @ @ @ @ @ @ registration , and ( 4 ) sudden vote surges .
Navarro concludes , rightly in my opinion , that the pattern of misbehavior that he discovered is evidence of a “ coordinated strategy to effectively stack the election deck against the Trump-Pence ticket ” that was carried out in each and every one of the contested states .
I would add that not only is the weight of evidence is simply overwhelming , but also that it continues to grow day by day .
For example , I recently received a report from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ statistical anomalies ” in Pennsylvania , a state that Navarro did not flag for such things .
I think that we can now also put a check in the “ inexplicable vote switching ” box for Nevada , where votes were reportedly changed overnight using USBs stuck into the voting machines .
As far as “ Excessively High Voter turnout ” is concerned , we could probably check this box not just for the six swing states , but for a dozen other states as well .
It doesn ’ t take a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ could not possibly have received 80 million votes , shattering the popular vote record .
Anyone with any common sense knows that if you lose significant amounts of Black and Hispanic support , if you lose 18 of 19 Bellwether Counties , if you lose Ohio , Florida , and Iowa , if you lose all 27 House races rated as “ Toss-Ups '' , and if you win only 17 percent of America ’ s counties — a record low -- there is simply no way that you can possibly have won @ @ @ @ @ @ @ record-setting number of votes .
Here 's another proof , from Bill Binney .
Binney points out that we know that 66.2 percent of America ’ s 212 million registered voters voted in the last election .
This means that the total number of votes cast can not exceed 140,344,000 .
Period .
“ Now if Trump got 74 Million [ which he did ] , that leaves only 66.344 Million for Biden , ” Binney writes .
“ These numbers don ’ t add up to what we are being told .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ concludes his report by saying that “ the weight of evidence and patterns of irregularities uncovered in this report are such that it is irresponsible for anyone – especially the mainstream media – to claim that there is ‘ no evidence ’ of fraud or irregularities.
” I would say that we are well beyond “ irresponsible ” at this point .
American democracy is terminally ill with Stage 4 voter fraud from which it may never recover , and those who infected the body politic are claiming that it ’ s not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ perfect health .
The corporate media in the U.S. , which has become nothing more than a shill for the Democrat Party , dutifully echoes these absurd claims .
But it should be obvious to everyone by now that the Biden camp is caught in its own contradictions .
They keep loudly insisting that there was no fraud in the 2020 election , but are fighting tooth and nail to keep the Dominion machines out of the hands of those who want to do a forensic audit .
They claim no illegal votes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ t want the kind of signature verification that would prove ( or disprove ) their claim .
They insist without evidence that all claims of voter fraud have been “ debunked.
” I understand why the Democrats are so desperate to deny and deflect .
Were they to acknowledge the existence of voter fraud—even a little—the eyes of millions of Americans would be opened .
It would then be blindingly obvious to them that , as outlined in Peter Navarro ’ s report , a massive operation to steal the election was carried @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that would be the end of the Democrat party , not to mention of Joe Biden ’ s presumed presidency .

Amidst the blizzard of reports about election fraud it’s easy to get lost, so Peter Navarro has given us a road map

December 21, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – Since election night on November 3rd, reports of ballot fraud have come pouring in almost without pause. To date, the torrent shows no sign of ebbing.

Or, more likely, someone is registering a lot of imaginary voters using the same phone number to steal a state or even a congressional seat.
So how is an ordinary voter to make sense of all these reports of ballot fraud, coming in as they are from all across the United States and comprising every variety under the sun?
One way is by reading “Immaculate Deception,” which is Peter Navarro’s brilliant compilation of much of the evidence of election fraud that has been uncovered to date. Peter, whom I count as a friend, has reviewed, categorized and summarized hundreds of reports of fraud that have poured in, summarizing them in a very readable 36-page report.
Navarro argues that the Biden campaign and its allies engaged in a national strategy of “theft by a thousand cuts … across six dimensions and six battleground states.” In a “Summary” graphic, he asserts there is evidence for “Outright Voter Fraud”, “Ballot Mishandling”, “Contestable Process Fouls”, “Equal Protection Clause Violations”, “Voting Machine Irregularities”, and “Significant Statistical Anomalies” in each of the six states in question: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
He also alleges that in each of these states, with the possible exception of Michigan, there are more than enough illegal ballots to overturn the election results.
Navarro’s report goes on to note how President Trump’s seemingly insurmountable leads in Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin on election night were strangely reversed by “a flood of mail-in and absentee ballots” over the next couple of days.
Under “outright voter fraud” Navarro lists cases of “bribery, the large-scale manufacturing of fake ballots for Biden, the destruction of Trump ballots, ballots cast by ineligible voters such as felons and illegal aliens, dead voters and ghost voters, ballots counted multiple times, and illegal out-of-state voters.” No swing state was free of such abuses, and most had more than one, skewing the election to Biden.

What Navarro calls “contestable process fouls” were also rampant. In all of the battleground states he found that poll watchers and observers were abused and practice the illegal “curing” of ballots. Several experienced other violations such as “allowing improperly registered people to vote”, “illegal campaigning at polling stations,” and flaunting the rules laid down in state law concerning the processing of mail-in and absentee ballots.
The Equal Protection Clause was violated by each and every one of the battleground states, who imposed higher standards for I.D. verification for those voting in-person than for those voting by mail. They also used different standards for ballot curing, and treated Republican and Democrat poll watchers differently.
The voting machines used in different states to conduct elections also contributed to the fraud, reports Navarro, with many states experiencing “large-scale inaccuracies together with inexplicable vote switching and vote surges, often in favor of Joe Biden”:
Navarro’s final category is called “Significant Statistical Anomalies.” Here we find numerically inexplicable happenings such as (1) unusually higher voter turnout, sometimes in excess of 100 percent of eligible voters, (2) unusual increases in absentee ballot acceptance rates, (3) statistically unlikely results given counties’ partisan history and voting registration, and (4) sudden vote surges.
Navarro concludes, rightly in my opinion, that the pattern of misbehavior that he discovered is evidence of a “coordinated strategy to effectively stack the election deck against the Trump-Pence ticket” that was carried out in each and every one of the contested states.
I would add that not only is the weight of evidence is simply overwhelming, but also that it continues to grow day by day. For example, I recently received a report from a group of statisticians detailing “significant statistical anomalies” in Pennsylvania, a state that Navarro did not flag for such things. I think that we can now also put a check in the “inexplicable vote switching” box for Nevada, where votes were reportedly changed overnight using USBs stuck into the voting machines.
As far as “Excessively High Voter turnout” is concerned, we could probably check this box not just for the six swing states, but for a dozen other states as well. It doesn’t take a sophisticated statistical analysis to prove that Biden could not possibly have received 80 million votes, shattering the popular vote record.
Anyone with any common sense knows that if you lose significant amounts of Black and Hispanic support, if you lose 18 of 19 Bellwether Counties, if you lose Ohio, Florida, and Iowa, if you lose all 27 House races rated as “Toss-Ups”, and if you win only 17 percent of America’s counties — a record low — there is simply no way that you can possibly have won the election, much less received a record-setting number of votes.
Here's another proof, from Bill Binney. Binney points out that we know that 66.2 percent of America’s 212 million registered voters voted in the last election. This means that the total number of votes cast cannot exceed 140,344,000. Period.
“Now if Trump got 74 Million [which he did], that leaves only 66.344 Million for Biden,” Binney writes. “These numbers don’t add up to what we are being told. Lies and more Lies!”
Navarro concludes his report by saying that “the weight of evidence and patterns of irregularities uncovered in this report are such that it is irresponsible for anyone – especially the mainstream media – to claim that there is ‘no evidence’ of fraud or irregularities.”
I would say that we are well beyond “irresponsible” at this point. American democracy is terminally ill with Stage 4 voter fraud from which it may never recover, and those who infected the body politic are claiming that it’s not diseased at all, but is in perfect health. The corporate media in the U.S., which has become nothing more than a shill for the Democrat Party, dutifully echoes these absurd claims.
But it should be obvious to everyone by now that the Biden camp is caught in its own contradictions. They keep loudly insisting that there was no fraud in the 2020 election, but are fighting tooth and nail to keep the Dominion machines out of the hands of those who want to do a forensic audit. They claim no illegal votes were cast, but they don’t want the kind of signature verification that would prove (or disprove) their claim. They insist without evidence that all claims of voter fraud have been “debunked.”
I understand why the Democrats are so desperate to deny and deflect. Were they to acknowledge the existence of voter fraud—even a little—the eyes of millions of Americans would be opened. It would then be blindingly obvious to them that, as outlined in Peter Navarro’s report, a massive operation to steal the election was carried out across the United States.
And that would be the end of the Democrat party, not to mention of Joe Biden’s presumed presidency.

lifesitenews--2020-12-21--Is the coronavirus a bioweapon?

Is the coronavirus a bioweapon?

December 19 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) – No less a figure than Dr. Francis Boyle , an expert on biowarfare , believes that “ the coronavirus that we ’ re dealing with here is an offensive biological warfare weapon.
” Speaking of Wuhan ’ s Institute of Virology , which is at the epicenter of the epidemic , he added that there have “ been previous reports of problems with that lab and things leaking out of it.
” For Dr. Boyle to be correct , the CCP would have to have both the “ intention ” and the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bioweapon .
Does it ?
It is no secret that the Chinese Communist regime , despite being a signatory to the Biological Weapons Convention , regards the development of bioweapons as a key part of achieving military dominance .
The vice-president of China ’ s Academy of Military Medical Sciences , He Fuchu ( 贺福初 ) , said in 2015 that biomaterials were the new “ strategic commanding heights ” of warfare .
PLA general Zhang Shibo ( 张仕波 ) went even further in his 2017 book , War ’ s New High @ @ @ @ @ @ @ development is gradually showing strong signs characteristic of an offensive capability , ” including the potential for “ specific ethnic genetic attacks ” ( 特定种族基因攻击 ) .
Reflect on that phrase – “ specific ethnic genetic attacks ” – for a minute .
What General Zhang is talking about , to be perfectly clear , is bioweapons that kill other races , but for which people who look like him have a natural or acquired immunity .
Such a weapon would , if potent enough , decimate the populations of Europe , South @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a shot , leaving an open field for Chinese domination .
Those who might counter that one wild-eyed general does not necessarily speak for the Communist leadership should bear in mind that Zhang himself is part of that leadership .
He was a full member of the 18th Central Committee ( 2012-17 ) and is the former president of the National Defense University .
Does COVID-19 cause more serious infections among non-Chinese races ?
It ’ s hard to say , since almost all the information coming out of China is fabricated for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ t rule out the possibility .
It is at least curious that , while it ’ s party time in Wuhan , many U.S. states and European countries are locking down again .
So as far as intentions are concerned , I think the evidence is indisputable that the PRC would develop offensive biological warfare weapons targeted at other races if they could .
But can they ?
What do we know about China ’ s genetic engineering capabilities ?
We know that China has mastered CRISPR technology , which enables the kind @ @ @ @ @ @ @ create a biological superweapon .
After all , it was a Chinese scientist , He Jiankui , who announced that he had reengineered the human genome to make it resistant to HIV , a feat for which he recently received a three year prison sentence .
If you are intent upon genetically engineering offensive biological warfare weapons you also need a very secure facility to ensure that they do not escape from containment .
After all , you are taking dangerous pathogens like SARS , Ebola , and various strains of coronavirus and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
China only has one such Level 4 microbiology lab , the Wuhan Institute of Virology , and it is located in – you guessed it – the city of Wuhan .
Finally , in addition to the technology and the facilities , you need raw biomaterial .
This means laying your hands on the most deadly viruses to be found in nature , into which you can engineer characteristics that make it even more deadly .
Some ways of doing this include enhancing human-to-human transmission of a virus originally harvested from another @ @ @ @ @ @ @ before someone is infected begins to show symptoms .
Here we have incontrovertible evidence that the Wuhan lab has acquired some of the most deadly coronaviruses on the planet .
It ’ s worth noting that just last year , two Chinese nationals , husband and wife team Dr. Keding Cheng and Dr. Xiangguo Qiu , were removed from the National Microbiology Lab in Winnipeg by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police as part of an intellectual property theft investigation .
The lab is Canada ’ s only Level 4 microbiology lab , which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the same type of lab the Chinese operate in Wuhan .
Dr. Qiu is known for working on the Ebola virus , while her husband has published studies of SARS .
The RCMP investigation noted that both made frequent trips back to the Wuhan lab .
The bottom line is that China has everything it needs to create a deadly bioweapon : the technology , the facility , and the raw biomaterial .
Much ink has been spilled by the Washington Post and other mainstream media outlets to try and convince us that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nature rather than nefariousness , and that anyone who says otherwise is an unhinged conspiracy theorist .
Dr. Li-meng Yan has published a series of papers proving to the satisfaction of objective observers that the novel coronavirus was not only manmade but was intended to be used as a bioweapon .
She has been predictably attacked by the virology establishment , eager to protect its reputation .
They argue that a true bioweapon would be far more lethal .
But this proves nothing .
The fact that a bioweapon under development does not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ proof that it is not a bioweapon , merely that it is not yet ready to deploy .
And , bioweapon-in-the-making or not , there seems little doubt that the coronavirus was released from the Wuhan Institute of Virology .
Propinquity suggests causation .
After all , if the first coronavirus infection were a simple result of accidental animal-to-human transmission as claimed , this could have occurred anywhere in China .
How curious that the epicenter of the epidemic just happens to be in a city of 11 million people where China ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Chance ?
I think not .
Another reason to think that what the world is dealing with a bioweapon is the reaction of the Communist authorities .
Beijing has gone to truly extraordinary lengths to cover up the source of the pandemic , the Wuhan lab .
They first pointed to the snakes and bats supposedly being sold at the Wuhan Seafood Market , and shut the market down .
But it soon came out that snakes do not carry any coronaviruses and that bats – which do – were not sold @ @ @ @ @ @ @ one final piece of evidence that for me , as a China hand , supports the theory that the coronavirus is a Chinese bioweapon that was deliberately released upon the world .
There is a rumor going around on the Chinese internet that the United States has deliberately unleashed an American bioweapon on the Chinese population .
Tellingly , such absurd claims are not being censored by the authorities , while accurate reporting on the epidemic is .
It is very much in character for the Communist Party leaders to blame their chief @ @ @ @ @ @ @ commit .
With their endless lies and evasions , Party leaders trying to hide their criminal complicity in the epidemic ’ s origins .
For me as a China watcher , even taking into account the Party ’ s penchant for secrecy , the multiple levels of deception engaged in by Communist officials over the past year have been extraordinary .
We may never know for certain whether the bioweapon known as COVID-19 was deliberately released upon the world .
But we do know that the major Western print , broadcast , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to dismiss the very possibility as a paranoid fantasy .
But – as the old joke goes – it ’ s not paranoia if they are really out to get you .
And on this point the evidence is clear .
We know , because PLA generals have told us so , that their researchers are racing to develop lethal bioweapons as fast as their theft of Western technology and stolen virus samples will allow .
We also know , because these same generals have told us , that the goal is to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is simply no question that Communist leaders have used the pandemic that they have inflicted upon the world as part and parcel of their strategy for China to replace the USA as the dominant power on the planet .
Did they deliberately release it first on their own people ?
What better way to spread the Chinese Virus all around the globe than to use the Chinese people themselves as unwitting disease vectors ?
I suspect that the only real surprise for the Chinese leadership in the novel coronavirus plague is that China @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pandemic that they had hoped to one day unleash on other countries .
At the same time that America and the rest of the world are dealing with the aftermath of the China Virus pandemic , we must be alert to the very real possibility of a future release of an even deadlier pathogen .
Does anyone think that the Communist authorities – once they had perfected a bioweapon to which they themselves had a natural or induced immunity – would hesitate to unleash a deadly pandemic on the West to achieve their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ?
Those who doubt that the leaders of the Communist Party would use such an “ assassin ’ s mace ” need to tell us precisely what moral or ethical considerations would stay their hand .
Because I can think of none .

What General Zhang is talking about, to be perfectly clear, is bioweapons that kill other races, but for which people who look like him have a natural or acquired immunity. Such a weapon would, if potent enough, decimate the populations of Europe, South Asia, and the Americas without firing a shot, leaving an open field for Chinese domination.

Some ways of doing this include enhancing human-to-human transmission of a virus originally harvested from another species, or increasing the latency period before someone is infected begins to show symptoms.
Here we have incontrovertible evidence that the Wuhan lab has acquired some of the most deadly coronaviruses on the planet. It’s worth noting that just last year, two Chinese nationals, husband and wife team Dr. Keding Cheng and Dr. Xiangguo Qiu, were removed from the National Microbiology Lab in Winnipeg by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police as part of an intellectual property theft investigation. The lab is Canada’s only Level 4 microbiology lab, which is to say, it’s the same type of lab the Chinese operate in Wuhan. Dr. Qiu is known for working on the Ebola virus, while her husband has published studies of SARS. The RCMP investigation noted that both made frequent trips back to the Wuhan lab.
The bottom line is that China has everything it needs to create a deadly bioweapon: the technology, the facility, and the raw biomaterial.
Much ink has been spilled by the Washington Post and other mainstream media outlets to try and convince us that the deadly coronavirus is a product of nature rather than nefariousness, and that anyone who says otherwise is an unhinged conspiracy theorist. Dr. Li-meng Yan has published a series of papers proving to the satisfaction of objective observers that the novel coronavirus was not only manmade but was intended to be used as a bioweapon.
She has been predictably attacked by the virology establishment, eager to protect its reputation. They argue that a true bioweapon would be far more lethal. But this proves nothing. The fact that a bioweapon under development does not work as well as intended is not proof that it is not a bioweapon, merely that it is not yet ready to deploy. And, bioweapon-in-the-making or not, there seems little doubt that the coronavirus was released from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
Propinquity suggests causation. After all, if the first coronavirus infection were a simple result of accidental animal-to-human transmission as claimed, this could have occurred anywhere in China. How curious that the epicenter of the epidemic just happens to be in a city of 11 million people where China’s only Level 4 lab is located. Chance? I think not.
Another reason to think that what the world is dealing with a bioweapon is the reaction of the Communist authorities. Beijing has gone to truly extraordinary lengths to cover up the source of the pandemic, the Wuhan lab. They first pointed to the snakes and bats supposedly being sold at the Wuhan Seafood Market, and shut the market down. But it soon came out that snakes do not carry any coronaviruses and that bats – which do – were not sold at a seafood market.
There is one final piece of evidence that for me, as a China hand, supports the theory that the coronavirus is a Chinese bioweapon that was deliberately released upon the world. There is a rumor going around on the Chinese internet that the United States has deliberately unleashed an American bioweapon on the Chinese population. Tellingly, such absurd claims are not being censored by the authorities, while accurate reporting on the epidemic is. It is very much in character for the Communist Party leaders to blame their chief geopolitical rival for crimes that they themselves commit.
With their endless lies and evasions, Party leaders trying to hide their criminal complicity in the epidemic’s origins. For me as a China watcher, even taking into account the Party’s penchant for secrecy, the multiple levels of deception engaged in by Communist officials over the past year have been extraordinary.
We may never know for certain whether the bioweapon known as COVID-19 was deliberately released upon the world. But we do know that the major Western print, broadcast, and social media are all doing their best to dismiss the very possibility as a paranoid fantasy.
But – as the old joke goes – it’s not paranoia if they are really out to get you. And on this point the evidence is clear. We know, because PLA generals have told us so, that their researchers are racing to develop lethal bioweapons as fast as their theft of Western technology and stolen virus samples will allow. We also know, because these same generals have told us, that the goal is to develop bioweapons targeting specific races. There is simply no question that Communist leaders have used the pandemic that they have inflicted upon the world as part and parcel of their strategy for China to replace the USA as the dominant power on the planet.
Did they deliberately release it first on their own people? What better way to spread the Chinese Virus all around the globe than to use the Chinese people themselves as unwitting disease vectors?
I suspect that the only real surprise for the Chinese leadership in the novel coronavirus plague is that China itself has become ground zero for the pandemic that they had hoped to one day unleash on other countries.
At the same time that America and the rest of the world are dealing with the aftermath of the China Virus pandemic, we must be alert to the very real possibility of a future release of an even deadlier pathogen.
Does anyone think that the Communist authorities – once they had perfected a bioweapon to which they themselves had a natural or induced immunity – would hesitate to unleash a deadly pandemic on the West to achieve their “China Dream” of world domination? Those who doubt that the leaders of the Communist Party would use such an “assassin’s mace” need to tell us precisely what moral or ethical considerations would stay their hand. Because I can think of none.

lifesitenews--2020-12-23--If Georgia gets two Democrat senators, the Hyde Amendment will die

December 22 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) — The Hyde Amendment was implemented in 1977 ( passed in the House of Representatives with a 312–93 vote ) , which meant that Medicaid would no longer pay for the abortion procedure , except in cases where the life of the mother was at risk .
Since then , it has been included on every federal spending bill , its language varying slightly by expanding it to allow Medicaid to cover abortion not only if the mother ’ s life was in danger , but also if the pregnancy was the result @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Court in 1980 decided in a 5-4 ruling that the Hyde Amendment was constitutional .
If the two Senate seats in Georgia go to Democrats , it will end the Hyde Amendment for the first time in 43 years .
It is important to note that in 1977 , the U.S. government paid for 295,000 Medicaid abortions .
In 1978 , the Hyde Amendment cut federal funding for most abortions , reducing the number of abortions paid for with U.S. tax dollars to approximately 2,000 annually .
“ No increase in abortion deaths @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” after the Hyde Amendment was enacted , according to a U.S. government survey .
The Guttmacher Institute , an ally of Planned Parenthood , found that funding bans reduce abortions by about 25 percent .
Another study based on 2000–2001 data found that women poor enough to be on Medicaid have double the abortion rate of other women in their state — and if the state Medicaid program funds elective abortions , their abortion rate doubles again .
Democrats ’ effort to scuttle the Hyde Amendment goes against polls , which for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Americans do not support forcing taxpayers to fund abortions , a practice they see as the taking of a human life .
For example , a Marist Poll found that 62 % of Americans oppose taxpayers ’ funding abortions ; this includes 65 % of black Americans , 61 % of Latinos , and even 45 % of those who are pro-abortion .
This last group may be honest enough to admit that supporting abortion as “ a private decision alone between the woman and her doctor ” is not consistent with publicly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for these same abortions .
They realize that they can ’ t have it both ways .
Maybe people who were polled answered in this way because they know that there is a right to own a gun , but the government isn ’ t obligated to pay for a gun for each of its citizens .
There is a right to free speech , but the government is not obligated to buy each citizen a printing press .
Yet those who support the claimed “ right ” to abortion expect the federal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ killing of innocent , helpless , voiceless pre-born children .
The reason abortion is supported for the poor is that what is available to the rich should be available to the poor .
Additionally , abortion is seen by some of the wealthy as a good thing and so should be available to the poor .
The problem with this statement is that the premise is wrong .
You do not help the poor by killing the children of the poor .
If we were back in the 1860s , we would find @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Would those supporting abortion for the poor also want to see the poor given money so they could afford slaves ?
They wouldn ’ t because of the immorality of slavery .
So , too , abortion is not helping the poor , but only trying to aid the poor to kill their own .
A woman who is poor and has an abortion at a Planned Parenthood facility leaves that building in the same situation as before she went in .
She may still be a single mother , without a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in substandard housing , in possibly a violent crime area , with inferior school systems , a scarcity of food , and struggling to make ends meet etc .
Nothing has really changed for her after her abortion , except now she has to deal the wound of taking the life of her pre-born daughter or son .
So how can those who support taxpayers funding abortions talk about giving the poor this so-called “ choice ” of abortion ?
With inadequate housing , unemployment , and all the other pressures of poverty @ @ @ @ @ @ @ much of a choice ?
If those who are really “ pro-choice ” want to help the poor , they should work toward eliminating the conditions that force the poor into poverty so they can have a real choice .
In addition , the money currently going for Medicaid abortions in the small number of states does not go directly to the poor , but to doctors and facilities that make money off the deaths of children , plus the physical and psychological suffering the poor will experience from undergoing abortions .
It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their poor pre-born children ) become a battleground in the abortion issue .
The best thing we can do is to work toward eliminating the true causes of poverty , not the symptoms ( like pre-born children ) .
Until that time , we need to work toward laws that protect vulnerable life so that both the poor and the rich pre-born children of our land might have their basic right to life respected .
It has been estimated that the Hyde Amendment has saved millions of lives over its existence .
I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ voted for Joe Biden to clearly understand that this Senate election in Georgia is no longer about President Trump ’ s improper tweets , inappropriate words , character , legacy , or even policies .
It is no longer about adding four new senators from two new locations or even about “ stacking ” the Supreme Court .
It is rather that a “ minority ” voice ( of at least 74 million Americans ) , along with any of its distinct values or different perspectives , will become silenced and irrelevant if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all three branches of government .
No one party has all the “ truth.
” If Democrats win both Senate races , it will not be President Trump or the Republicans who lose .
Rather , the loser will be the additional 60,000 pre-born lives that will end by abortion .
If the Hyde Amendment is repealed , then taxpayers will be forced to be enablers of abortionists , to be a part of this brutal act of killing of innocent pre-born children .

— Article continues below Petition — PETITION: Keep abortion out of the Smithsonian! Show Petition Text 2546 have signed the petition. Let's get to 4000 ! Thank you for signing this petition! Add your signature: Show Petition Text Country... State... Sign this Petition Congress's huge omnibus spending bill, attached to the COVID relief bill, funds a new 'Women's History' museum for the Smithsonian Institution. And, while it is debatable whether or not "equality" demands a whole museum dedicated to women's accomplishments as distinct from those of men, what is not debatable is the potential for using this new museum as a platform for the promotion of abortion. Please SIGN this petition demanding that the new 'Women's History' museum will not now, or ever, promote abortion in any of its exhibits or programs. But, why is this even a question? Because, House Bill HR 1980, which authorized the building of a women's museum on the Mall in Washington, D.C., and which passed the House by wide margins in February, 2020, states that curators will take steps to ensure "diversity of political viewpoints in exhibits and programs." This is a bad sign, one which could lead to the promotion of abortion as a "political viewpoint." Therefore, we must remind the curators of the Smithsonian, the Congress and the President that abortion is not a "political viewpoint." Abortion is, rather, the barbaric killing of an innocent human being and a personal tragedy for the mother and others involved. And, it is also a national tragedy - not something which can be reduced to "civil discourse," as there is nothing "civil" about abortion. As such, abortion should never be promoted, and especially never by any agency or museum receiving federal funding. This petition is being CC'ed to the Congress and the President so that if this museum ever starts to promote abortion, they can intervene to stop funding the museum or the Smithsonian. Please SIGN and SHARE this important pro-life petition today, and keep abortion out of the Smithsonian!

So how can those who support taxpayers funding abortions talk about giving the poor this so-called “choice” of abortion?

lifesitenews--2020-12-23--Abp. Viganò: Vatican Nativity is ‘expression of apostasy, immorality and vice’

December 22 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) – Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò has written the following reflection on this year ’ s Nativity scene in St. Peter ’ s Square .
EN GREGE RELICTO [ 1 ] Considerations on the Nativity scene in Saint Peter ’ s Square At the center of Saint Peter ’ s Square , a metallic tensile structure dominates the scene , hastily decorated with a tubular light , underneath which stand , disturbing as totems , a few horrible statues that no one endowed with common sense would dare to identify with the characters of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Vatican Basilica only serves to augment the abyss between the harmonious Renaissance architecture and the indecorous parade of anthropomorphic bowling pins .
It matters little that these atrocious artifacts are the fruit of students of an obscure Abruzzo art institute : whoever dared to put together this affront to the Nativity did so in an era that , besides creating countless monstrosities of pseudo-art , did not know how to make anything beautiful or that merits to be preserved for posterity .
Our museums and modern art galleries are overflowing with creations @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sick minds that straddle the Sixties and Seventies : paintings that are impossible to look at , sculptures that cause disgust , works of which it is impossible to determine either their subject or their significance .
Nor were the churches spared : even they are overflowing with such works , always stemming from those unpropitious years , impudent contaminations produced by “ artists ” appreciated more for their ideological and political affiliation than for their talent .
For decades , architects and craftsmen have been making horrifying structures , furnishings , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ leave the simple disgusted and scandalize the faithful .
From this same evil root there has also stemmed , in a Bergoglian migrationist key , the bronze barge that is the “ monument to the unknown migrant ” which now disturbs the harmony of the right side of Bernini ’ s colonnade and whose oppressive weight is making the very cobblestones sink , to the consternation of the Roman people .
It should be recalled that this year ’ s blasphemous Nativity scene was preceded by the equally sacrilegious one of 2017 , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Montevergine , a pilgrimage destination for the Italian homosexual and transgender community .
This anti-nativity scene , “ carefully planned and premeditated according to the dictates and doctrine of Pope Francis , ” was supposed to depict alleged works of mercy : a naked man lying on the ground , a corpse with a dangling arm , the head of a prisoner , an archangel with a rainbow flower garland , and the cupola of Saint Peter ’ s shown in ruins .
Similar attempts , in which the Nativity is taken @ @ @ @ @ @ @ experiments , have been the torment of many of the faithful , forced to endure the extravagances of the clergy and their craving for innovation at all costs , the deliberate will to profane – in the etymological sense of making secular – precisely that which is sacred , separate from the world , set apart for worship and veneration : “ ecumenical ” Nativity scenes containing improbable mosques , “ immigrationist ” Nativity scenes depicting the Holy Family on a raft , and even Nativity scenes made out of potatoes or scrap @ @ @ @ @ @ @ even to the most inexperienced that these are not attempts to update the Christmas scene , as the painters of the Renaissance or the 18th century did , dressing up the procession of the Magi with the costumes of the time .
Rather , these are the arrogant imposition of blasphemy and sacrilege as an anti-theophany of ugliness , the necessary attribute of the Evil One .
It is no coincidence that the years in which this Nativity scene was created are the same ones in which the Second Vatican Council and the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the same , as are its inspiring principles , for those years marked the end of a world and marked the beginning of contemporary society , just as they witnessed the beginning of the eclipse of the Catholic Church which has given way to the conciliar church .
Fitting those huge ceramic artifacts into the kiln must have caused not a few problems , which the industrious teachers of the art school in Abruzzo overcame by breaking them into pieces .
The same thing happened at the Council , where ingenious experts succeeded @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the documents that in other times would have been confined to the discussion of a clandestine little group of progressive theologians .
The result of that pseudo-artistic experiment is a horror that is all the more horrifying the more the claim is made that the subject represented is the Lord ’ s Nativity .
To have decided to call such a collection of monstrous figures a “ Nativity scene ” does not make it one , nor does it correspond to the purpose for which such scenes are exposed in churches , piazzas @ @ @ @ @ @ @ inspire the adoration of the faithful before the Mystery of the Incarnation .
Just as having called Vatican II a “ council ” has not made its formulations less problematic and certainly has not confirmed the faithful in the Faith , nor increased the frequent reception of the Sacraments , much less converted crowds of pagans to the Word of Christ .
And just as the beauty of the Catholic Liturgy was replaced by a rite that excels only in squalor ; just as the sublime harmony of Gregorian chant and sacred music @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tribal rythyms and profane music resound within them ; just as the universal perfection of the sacred language was swept away by the Babel of the vernacular languages ; so the impulse of popular and ancient veneration devised by Saint Francis has been frustrated , in order to disfigure it in its simplicity and strip its soul away .
The instinctive repulsion that this Nativity scene arouses and the sacrilegious vein it reveals makes it a perfect symbol of the Bergoglian church , and perhaps precisely in this ostentation of brazen irreverence towards @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the faithful and to little ones , it is possible to understand the state of the souls who have wanted it to be there , beneath the obelisk , as an act of defiance against both Heaven and the people of God : souls without Grace , without Faith , and without Charity .
Someone , in a vain attempt to find something Christian in those obscene ceramic statues , will repeat the error that was already made in allowing our churches to be gutted , our altars to be stripped , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ doctrine to corrupted by the ambiguous muddledness that is typical of heretics .
Let ’ s just say it clearly : that thing is not a Nativity scene , because if it was , it would depict the sublime Mystery of the Incarnation and Birth of the Son of God secundum carnem , the adoring admiration of the shepherds and Magi , the infinite love of Mary Most Holy for the Divine Infant , and the amazement of creation and the Angels .
In short , it would depict the state of our @ @ @ @ @ @ @ prophecies , our enchantment at seeing the Son of God in the manger , our unworthiness for redemptive Mercy .
Instead , one becomes aware of , significantly , contempt for popular piety , the rejection of a perennial model that recalls the eternal immutability of Divine Truth , and the insensibility of arid and dead souls before the Majesty of the Infant King and the bended knee of the Magi .
One becomes aware of the bleak grayness of death , the dark asepticity of the machine , the darkness of damnation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who sees his own power threatened by the salvific Light of the Infant King .
Once again , we must be grateful to the Lord even in this trial , one that is apparently of lesser impact but still consistent with the greater tribulations we are undergoing , because it helps to remove the blindfolds from our eyes .
This irreverent monstrosity is the mark of the universal religion of transhumanism hoped for by the New World Order ; it is the expression of apostasy , immorality and vice – of ugliness erected @ @ @ @ @ @ @ everything that is constructed by man ’ s hands without God ’ s blessing , indeed against Him , it is destined to perish , to disappear , and to crumble .
And this will happen not because someone else will come to power who merely has different tastes and different sensibilities , but because Beauty is the necessary handmaid of Truth and Goodness , just as ugliness is the companion of lies and wickedness .

This irreverent monstrosity is the mark of the universal religion of transhumanism hoped for by the New World Order; it is the expression of apostasy, immorality and vice – of ugliness erected as a model. And just like everything that is constructed by man’s hands without God’s blessing, indeed against Him, it is destined to perish, to disappear, and to crumble.

EN GREGE RELICTO[1]
Considerations on the Nativity scene in Saint Peter’s Square
At the center of Saint Peter’s Square, a metallic tensile structure dominates the scene, hastily decorated with a tubular light, underneath which stand, disturbing as totems, a few horrible statues that no one endowed with common sense would dare to identify with the characters of the Nativity. The solemn background of the Vatican Basilica only serves to augment the abyss between the harmonious Renaissance architecture and the indecorous parade of anthropomorphic bowling pins.
It matters little that these atrocious artifacts are the fruit of students of an obscure Abruzzo art institute: whoever dared to put together this affront to the Nativity did so in an era that, besides creating countless monstrosities of pseudo-art, did not know how to make anything beautiful or that merits to be preserved for posterity. Our museums and modern art galleries are overflowing with creations, installations, and provocations born from sick minds that straddle the Sixties and Seventies: paintings that are impossible to look at, sculptures that cause disgust, works of which it is impossible to determine either their subject or their significance. Nor were the churches spared: even they are overflowing with such works, always stemming from those unpropitious years, impudent contaminations produced by “artists” appreciated more for their ideological and political affiliation than for their talent.
For decades, architects and craftsmen have been making horrifying structures, furnishings, and sacred ornaments of such ugliness that they leave the simple disgusted and scandalize the faithful. From this same evil root there has also stemmed, in a Bergoglian migrationist key, the bronze barge that is the “monument to the unknown migrant” which now disturbs the harmony of the right side of Bernini’s colonnade and whose oppressive weight is making the very cobblestones sink, to the consternation of the Roman people.
It should be recalled that this year’s blasphemous Nativity scene was preceded by the equally sacrilegious one of 2017, offered to the Vatican by the shrine of Montevergine, a pilgrimage destination for the Italian homosexual and transgender community. This anti-nativity scene, “carefully planned and premeditated according to the dictates and doctrine of Pope Francis,” was supposed to depict alleged works of mercy: a naked man lying on the ground, a corpse with a dangling arm, the head of a prisoner, an archangel with a rainbow flower garland, and the cupola of Saint Peter’s shown in ruins.
Similar attempts, in which the Nativity is taken as a pretext to legitimize very unhappy experiments, have been the torment of many of the faithful, forced to endure the extravagances of the clergy and their craving for innovation at all costs, the deliberate will to profane – in the etymological sense of making secular – precisely that which is sacred, separate from the world, set apart for worship and veneration: “ecumenical” Nativity scenes containing improbable mosques, “immigrationist” Nativity scenes depicting the Holy Family on a raft, and even Nativity scenes made out of potatoes or scrap metal.
By now it is evident even to the most inexperienced that these are not attempts to update the Christmas scene, as the painters of the Renaissance or the 18th century did, dressing up the procession of the Magi with the costumes of the time. Rather, these are the arrogant imposition of blasphemy and sacrilege as an anti-theophany of ugliness, the necessary attribute of the Evil One.
It is no coincidence that the years in which this Nativity scene was created are the same ones in which the Second Vatican Council and the reformed Mass emerged: its aesthetic is the same, as are its inspiring principles, for those years marked the end of a world and marked the beginning of contemporary society, just as they witnessed the beginning of the eclipse of the Catholic Church which has given way to the conciliar church.
Fitting those huge ceramic artifacts into the kiln must have caused not a few problems, which the industrious teachers of the art school in Abruzzo overcame by breaking them into pieces. The same thing happened at the Council, where ingenious experts succeeded in forcing doctrinal and liturgical novelties into the documents that in other times would have been confined to the discussion of a clandestine little group of progressive theologians.
The result of that pseudo-artistic experiment is a horror that is all the more horrifying the more the claim is made that the subject represented is the Lord’s Nativity. To have decided to call such a collection of monstrous figures a “Nativity scene” does not make it one, nor does it correspond to the purpose for which such scenes are exposed in churches, piazzas, and homes; namely, to inspire the adoration of the faithful before the Mystery of the Incarnation. Just as having called Vatican II a “council” has not made its formulations less problematic and certainly has not confirmed the faithful in the Faith, nor increased the frequent reception of the Sacraments, much less converted crowds of pagans to the Word of Christ.
And just as the beauty of the Catholic Liturgy was replaced by a rite that excels only in squalor; just as the sublime harmony of Gregorian chant and sacred music was banned from our churches to make tribal rythyms and profane music resound within them; just as the universal perfection of the sacred language was swept away by the Babel of the vernacular languages; so the impulse of popular and ancient veneration devised by Saint Francis has been frustrated, in order to disfigure it in its simplicity and strip its soul away.
The instinctive repulsion that this Nativity scene arouses and the sacrilegious vein it reveals makes it a perfect symbol of the Bergoglian church, and perhaps precisely in this ostentation of brazen irreverence towards an age-old tradition that is so dear to the faithful and to little ones, it is possible to understand the state of the souls who have wanted it to be there, beneath the obelisk, as an act of defiance against both Heaven and the people of God: souls without Grace, without Faith, and without Charity.
Someone, in a vain attempt to find something Christian in those obscene ceramic statues, will repeat the error that was already made in allowing our churches to be gutted, our altars to be stripped, and the simple and crystalline integrity of doctrine to corrupted by the ambiguous muddledness that is typical of heretics.
Let’s just say it clearly: that thing is not a Nativity scene, because if it was, it would depict the sublime Mystery of the Incarnation and Birth of the Son of God secundum carnem, the adoring admiration of the shepherds and Magi, the infinite love of Mary Most Holy for the Divine Infant, and the amazement of creation and the Angels. In short, it would depict the state of our soul as it contemplates the fulfillment of prophecies, our enchantment at seeing the Son of God in the manger, our unworthiness for redemptive Mercy. Instead, one becomes aware of, significantly, contempt for popular piety, the rejection of a perennial model that recalls the eternal immutability of Divine Truth, and the insensibility of arid and dead souls before the Majesty of the Infant King and the bended knee of the Magi. One becomes aware of the bleak grayness of death, the dark asepticity of the machine, the darkness of damnation, and the jealous hatred of Herod who sees his own power threatened by the salvific Light of the Infant King.
Once again, we must be grateful to the Lord even in this trial, one that is apparently of lesser impact but still consistent with the greater tribulations we are undergoing, because it helps to remove the blindfolds from our eyes. This irreverent monstrosity is the mark of the universal religion of transhumanism hoped for by the New World Order; it is the expression of apostasy, immorality and vice – of ugliness erected as a model. And just like everything that is constructed by man’s hands without God’s blessing, indeed against Him, it is destined to perish, to disappear, and to crumble. And this will happen not because someone else will come to power who merely has different tastes and different sensibilities, but because Beauty is the necessary handmaid of Truth and Goodness, just as ugliness is the companion of lies and wickedness.

“In 2016, Donald J. Trump told the American people that the government was spying on him. The media said that he was paranoid. The Obama administration and the Democrats said that this was an absolute lie and that Donald Trump was not fit to be president, only for us to find out later that the U.S. government did spy on Donald Trump, and what he had said was in fact true,” Graham said.
“Then we spent the next two years with the President under investigation for collusion with the Russians. The President said there was no collusion, but night after night, the media and the Democrats said there was collusion. After an investigation by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, it turned out to be false — there was no collusion. President Trump was right again.”
Graham then turned his attention to the recent election, saying in light of these past events, he believes the president, who has a “track record of being right.”
“Then the Democrats impeached him over a phone call. The President has been maligned, falsely accused, and attacked on every front since before the election in 2016. When President Trump says that this election has been rigged or stolen, I tend to believe him.
He has a track record of being right. Pray for President Trump, pray for Joe Biden, and pray for our nation — that we will get through this, and for God’s will be done.”
Just a few days before, Graham posted another message in support of Trump, outlining the president's many accomplishments, saying he was “grateful to God” for Trump. In fact, Graham continued by stating that “President Trump will go down in history as one of the great presidents of our nation, bringing peace and prosperity to millions here in the U.S. and around the world.”
Trump has been challenging the apparent results of the 2020 election, with his legal team filing multiple cases of voter fraud. Writing for LifeSite yesterday, Steven Mosher noted how “not only is the weight of evidence simply overwhelming, but also that it continues to grow day by day.” “American democracy is terminally ill with Stage 4 voter fraud from which it may never recover,” Mosher added.
Despite the Supreme Court refusing to hear Texas’ lawsuit regarding an unconstitutional election, Trump’s legal challenges continue. While the electoral college votes went in a majority to Biden, alternate Republican electors voted for the president, thus enabling him to continue his challenges through December and into the new year.
