lifesitenews--2020-11-28--COVID-19: Americans are in ‘delusional psychosis’ and policing each other, psychiatrist warns

November 28 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) — America is on the verge of being “ lost ” because many of its citizens are suffering from a “ delusional psychosis ” and so fearful that they are turning on each other to enforce “ nonsensical ” coronavirus restrictions , a California psychiatrist has warned .
“ We don ’ t need a police force .
We don ’ t need a secret Stasi to go after the neighbor that isn ’ t wearing his mask on a park bench .
We have families who are willing to do that , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ during a summit on the virus .
“ We have office workers [ who ] will come by and mace you if you are not wearing a mask , and no one will come to your rescue .
In fact , they ’ ll probably applaud it.
” A child and adolescent psychiatrist in private practice in West Los Angeles .
Dr. Mark McDonald made his remarks during the virtual Truth Over Fear Summit organized by Catholic broadcaster Patrick Coffin .
The “ driving force of the coronavirus pandemic and the hysteria ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at the summit .
This fear has now “ grown and become so entrenched that it has reached a state of what I would call delusional psychosis .
A delusion is a fixed false belief that is contrary to reality , ” he added .
“ Fear has become a new virtue .
Never before in the history of this country have we told people that fear is good , ” or to “ settle into ” those fears and allow them “ to control and constrain your life , ” said McDonald @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Line Doctors White Coat Summits in July and October .
Moreover , Americans “ who are either afraid , or who have been fed lies and misinformation for months now , have grown to not only feel afraid , but also to believe that what they are being told is true , which is primarily that all of us are at equal risk of catching a virus and dying from it , ” McDonald said .
“ This is demonstrably untrue .
It is a lie , in fact .
And we ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lie for about six months , and yet people have come to believe it.
” While there was “ a lot of infection ” from the coronavirus , there was “ very , very little death or hospitalization outside of very specific populations , ” McDonald said .
“ Less than one percent of the population accounts for over 90 percent of all the deaths , ” which occur in people “ over age 70 , mostly over age 80 , with at least two and a half to three comorbidities , according @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
“ Other than that group of people , we really are not at risk of hospitalization or death in any meaningful way from this virus , certainly less than we are of standard influenza.
” Most disturbingly , the pandemic “ hysteria ” has reached the stage of “ going beyond fear , going beyond the crazy itself , to what I would call group control , ” he said .
As a result , Americans are policing themselves to such an extent that governments have “ dialed down ” enforcement of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ notches , ” he observed .
During a recent flight on Delta Airlines , a “ furious ” flight attendant “ castigated me ” for drinking water for more than three minutes , and continued to “ hound ” him throughout the flight , McDonald related .
When the plane reached its destination , McDonald was “ escorted off ” and interviewed by a station manager .
Two weeks later , he received a letter from Delta banning him from flights “ in perpetuity , ” or until the airline withdrew its mask @ @ @ @ @ @ @ told by the person he was traveling with that “ all the passengers erupted into applause ” after he was escorted off the plane , because “ their anxiety was relieved by me being punished for not appropriately wearing the mask as requested , as demanded.
” During another flight , McDonald went to the galley for some water , and an attendant on her break offered to get him some , but was berated by an on-duty flight attendant for not wearing a mask .
“ This colleague attacking colleague , passenger @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of behavior I ’ ve never , ever seen before .
I was stunned , ” McDonald said .
“ So the end result of this : what appears to me is a country which is using its own citizens as a de facto police force , very similar to communist China , that has a social point system in place where neighbor informs on neighbor , family informs on family , ” he said .
“ This has a terribly damaging effect on our society.
” He said that while misinformation is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Americans are also at fault for their “ laziness ” about educating themselves .
When the pandemic was first declared , McDonald had “ patience ” with people because they were “ confused ” by all the conflicting information , but his sympathy has run out .
“ There is readily available information on all platforms of the Internet , social media that any reasonably intelligent and literate person can find and evaluate and critically analyze , ” he said .
So widespread and so rooted is this delusional psychosis that “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ my office every day , I have to prepare myself for the inevitable experience of what I would call the ‘ outdoor insane asylum , ’ ” McDonald said .
The experience “ reminds me of my time that I spent in residency where I would go through a locked unit door , the door shut behind me , and I ’ d have to remind myself that anyone not wearing a badge behind that door is crazy , ” added McDonald .
“ Now I have to do the same when I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ my assumption is that any person that I run into is insane.
” McDonald also warned things could get much worse .
“ With a positive outcome in the election , with the removal of those who wish to destroy the country and the election of those who wish to preserve it , we have a fighting chance , but we need a virtuous populace as well , not just a virtuous governing body , ” McDonald said at the summit , which took place a few days before the election .
“ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and cherish freedom as a virtue , rather than fear .
Never before in the history of this country has fear been enshrined as a virtue .
If it stays this way and we don ’ t address it and redress it , we are lost.

A child and adolescent psychiatrist in private practice in West Los Angeles. Dr. Mark McDonald made his remarks during the virtual Truth Over Fear Summit organized by Catholic broadcaster Patrick Coffin.
The “driving force of the coronavirus pandemic and the hysteria” around it is fear, McDonald said at the summit.
This fear has now “grown and become so entrenched that it has reached a state of what I would call delusional psychosis. A delusion is a fixed false belief that is contrary to reality,” he added.
“Fear has become a new virtue. Never before in the history of this country have we told people that fear is good,” or to “settle into” those fears and allow them “to control and constrain your life,” said McDonald, who spoke at the American Front Line Doctors White Coat Summits in July and October.

“Less than one percent of the population accounts for over 90 percent of all the deaths,” which occur in people “over age 70, mostly over age 80, with at least two and a half to three comorbidities, according to the CDC,” he added.
“Other than that group of people, we really are not at risk of hospitalization or death in any meaningful way from this virus, certainly less than we are of standard influenza.”
Most disturbingly, the pandemic “hysteria” has reached the stage of “going beyond fear, going beyond the crazy itself, to what I would call group control,” he said.
As a result, Americans are policing themselves to such an extent that governments have “dialed down” enforcement of ongoing lockdowns and restrictions by “multiple notches,” he observed.

Thank you for signing this petition! Add your signature: Show Petition Text Country... State... Sign this Petition People of goodwill can disagree about the safety, efficacy and religious implications of a new vaccine for the coronavirus. But, everyone should agree on this point: No government can force anyone who has reached legal adulthood to be vaccinated for the coronavirus. Equally, no government can vaccinate minors for the coronavirus against the will of their parents or guardians. Please SIGN this urgent petition which urges policymakers at every level of government to reject calls for mandatory coronavirus vaccination. Fear of a disease - which we know very little about, relative to other similar diseases - must not lead to knee-jerk reactions regarding public health, nor can it justify supporting the hidden agenda of governmental as well as non-governmental bodies that have apparent conflicts of interest in plans to restrict personal freedoms. The so-called "public health experts" have gotten it wrong many times during the current crisis. We should not, therefore, allow their opinions to rush decision-makers into policies regarding vaccination. And, while some people, like Bill Gates, may have a lot of money, his opinion and that of his NGO (the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation) - namely, that life will not return to normal till people are widely vaccinated - should not be permitted to influence policy decisions on a coronavirus vaccination program. Finally, we must also not allow the rush by pharmaceutical companies to produce a new coronavirus vaccine to, itself, become an imperative for vaccination. Unwitting citizens must not be used as guinea pigs for New World Order ideologues, or Big Pharma, in pursuit of a vaccine (and, profits) which may not even protect against future mutated strains of the coronavirus. And it goes without saying that the production of vaccines using aborted babies for cell replication is a total non-starter, as the technique is gravely immoral. However, if after sufficient study of the issue, a person who has reached the age of majority wishes to be vaccinated with a morally produced vaccine, along with his children, that is his business. But we cannot and will not permit the government to make that decision for us. Thank you for SIGNING and SHARING this petition, urging policymakers at all levels of government to reject mandatory coronavirus vaccination.

lifesitenews--2020-12-01--Italian historian: McCarrick scandal is linked to ‘new morality’ emerging from Vatican II

November 30 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) – Professor Roberto de Mattei , a prominent Italian historian and traditional Catholic , has commented on the Theodore McCarrick scandal as it has been further revealed by the recently published McCarrick Report .
In a statement written for LifeSiteNews , he explains the link between this decades-long history of the Church ’ s ignoring warning signs about McCarrick ’ s immoral personal life and the weakening of the Church ’ s moral integrity since the Second Vatican Council .
With the Council , he says , came a “ new morality ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ determination to condemn evil and fight sin .
LifeSite has noted that the McCarrick Report reveals how all three Popes involved in the McCarrick case – John Paul II , Benedict XVI , as well as Francis – had in one way or another an all-too lenient attitude toward the now-ex cardinal .
John Paul II was aware that the U.S. cardinal repeatedly slept , as bishop , with priests and seminarians in the same bed ; Benedict XVI had received public warnings by U.S. journalists such as Richard Sipe and Matt Abbot @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ; and Francis was informed by several of his collaborators about McCarrick ’ s history yet decided to collaborate with him on multiple fronts .
Since most of the McCarrick scandal developed under the pontificates of Popes with a more conservative reputation , LifeSite reached out to Professor de Mattei , asking him to comment on this phenomenon , also in light of the fact that conservative cardinals such as the deceased Cardinal Joachim Meisner have now come under criticism in Germany for having mishandled terrible cases of sex abuse .
For example @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a leaked report prepared by a law firm hired by the Archdiocese of Cologne for having kept a priest , Father A. , in good standing , and for decades , who had already been imprisoned in 1972 for multiple abuses of children .
The priest never encountered canonical sanctions or punishments for his repeated sexual abuse , even in later years – for example after having been once more sentenced by a court for sexual abuse in 1988 , the year when Cardinal Meisner became the archbishop of Cologne .
An independent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
In order to explain even the lack of decisiveness in fighting clerical sexual abuse among conservative Popes and prelates , Professor de Mattei points in his statement ( see full text below ) to the Second Vatican Council .
According to him , from the Council “ emerged ” a “ nouvelle morale ” that embraced the world and changed the Church ’ s view of sexuality .
The Council 's Constitution Gaudium et Spes reversed the ends of marriage , giving the traditional primary end of marriage – that is , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a lesser significance than the aspect of conjugal love and support .
By reversing the ends of marriage , the path to a love independent of procreation – thereby indirectly opening a path to homosexual “ love ” – was opened up .
De Mattei speaks here of a “ distorted idea of love.
” By way of confirmation of this thesis , we might point out that especially the German progressivist wing of the Church repeatedly stresses that the marital act need not be linked with its procreative act .
For example @ @ @ @ @ @ @ theologian and author of books on homosexuality , proposed in 2015 that procreation was linked with sexuality in the times of the Old Testament since the Jews at the time struggled for their survival .
He then went on to say that this “ is obviously not any more our situation , and that , since the ( Second Vatican ) Council , it has also not been any more our own moral teaching on sexuality.
” In the same vein , Professor Eberhard Schockenhoff – the key architect of the German Synodal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s teaching on sexual morality , male ordination , and the Church ’ s hierarchy – proposed last year that sexuality and lust be regarded in their positive characteristics as helping people to “ assure themselves of their identity , ” thus they be regarded as a “ end in itself , ” without reference to procreation .
Professor de Mattei explains this phenomenon as follows : “ Sexuality was defined as an essential value for the personal maturation of the individual .
The Council 's Constitution Gaudium et Spes , which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the primary end of marriage , was considered a manifesto of this new relationship with the world.
” As can be seen , this statement is not only applicable to the above-mentioned progressivists , but to all those prelates in the Church who embraced and welcomed the Second Vatican Council .
Here , Professor de Mattei stresses , however , that not every churchman embraced the extremes of the novel morality .
“ Certainly not everybody , within the Church , has brought this discourse to its logical consequences , ” he writes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , with his ‘ theology of the body , ’ has proposed a false alternative to the new morality.
” With regard to Pope Benedict XVI , the Italian historian states that “ while vigorously opposing pedophilia , ” he “ has never dared to condemn the rampant homosexuality within the Church , applying a policy of silence , which has become aiding and abetting sin.
” This can be seen not only in the McCarrick case – where Benedict XVI explicitly decided against opening up a canonical investigation of the allegations against @ @ @ @ @ @ @ justice into the matter – but also in the case of a former high-ranking German diplomat , Monsignor K. In the case of Monsignor K , Benedict decided merely to move him away from the Vatican and then , after additional and persisting reports about Monsignor K ’ s active and aggressive homosexuality , to dismiss him from the diplomatic service and to send him back to his home diocese , instead of investigating the allegations of his misdeeds .
While not directly relating to the problem of homosexuality , a third example @ @ @ @ @ @ @ silence ” that turns out to “ abet sin ” is the case of the Integrated Community ( Integrierte Gemeinde ) , a Catholic community that had received its canonical status from then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger in 1978 , with certain conditions placed upon them .
However , he did not establish ways of making sure that these conditions – for example , that they do not tinker with the rubrics of the Holy Mass and that they preserve the sense of being members of the Catholic Church and do n't think they are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
And , as multiple reports show , he also did not take seriously the warning reports he received from different sources .
As a newly published report of the Archdiocese of Munich-Freising shows , this group never mended its ways , had a cult-like character , and intruded into the personal lives of its members , telling some of them whether they should have children or not and that much of their personal wealth should be handed over to the community .
Much abuse has taken place in more than 40 years @ @ @ @ @ @ @ leading to the estrangement of parents and children and to the break-up of marriages .
While Pope Benedict only a few weeks ago distanced himself from this group , he still has two of their members ( Professors Weimer and Buckenmaier ) on the board of the Joseph Ratzinger Foundation , which was founded in 2007 with his approval .
Let us return to Professor de Mattei 's principled comments .
He extends his critique of Benedict 's weakness in fighting moral corruption in the Church to some of his conservative collaborators and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , ” he adds , “ also many other conservative prelates were affected by this weakness in dealing with and confronting the homosexual problem within the Church .
Ignoring these responsibilities would be hypocrisy.
” Finally , explains the Italian historian , the Second Vatican Council weakened the Church 's abhorrence of evil and her willingness to fight sin .
Here , he points to Pope John XXIII 's opening speech at the Council .
On October 11 , 1962 , John XXIII made “ the distinction between the truths of faith and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they are announced.
’ ” “ From that moment on , ” de Mattei continues , “ the supreme authorities of the Church gave up explicitly condemning evil , and limited themselves to speak , in an often unclear way , on the good .
No truths have since been defined and no errors anathemized .
Evil was often hidden or ignored.
” That is to say , the Council not only brought us an opening toward a “ new morality ” that opened paths to an acceptance of homosexuality , but it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fight evil .
In this sense , Pope Francis ’ s new encyclical Fratelli tutti is for Professor de Mattei a continuation of the loss of this “ supernatural ” worldview that keeps in mind the end stages of our human existence , heaven or hell .
Please see here Professor de Mattei ’ s full statement : The McCarrick case is the ultimate and sensational expression of a vast problem that has its origins in the “ nouvelle morale ” that emerged with the Second Vatican Council .
According to this new @ @ @ @ @ @ @ change their relationship with the world , discovering its positive character .
Sexuality was defined as an essential value for the personal maturation of the individual .
The Council 's Constitution Gaudium et Spes , which abandoned the traditional doctrine on procreation as the primary end of marriage , was considered a manifesto of this new relationship with the world .
We moved from the love of neighbor , based on the love of God and the discipline of sexual instincts , to a dialogical relationship with the other in which the satisfaction @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of a distorted idea of love .
Certainly not everybody , within the Church , has brought this discourse to its logical consequences , but unfortunately John Paul II , with his “ theology of the body , ” has proposed a false alternative to the new morality ; and Benedict XVI , while vigorously opposing pedophilia , has never dared to condemn the rampant homosexuality within the Church , applying a policy of silence , which has become aiding and abetting sin .
Just like Pope Benedict , also many other conservative @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dealing with and confronting the homosexual problem within the Church .
Ignoring these responsibilities would be hypocrisy .
If the gay-friendly culture has its implicit premise in the new morality introduced by the pastoral constitution Gaudium et Spes , which is the last document of the Second Vatican Council , the failure to condemn homosexuality has its presupposition in the discourse with which on October 11 , 1962 , John XXIII opened the Council establishing the distinction between the truths of faith and morals and “ the way in which they are announced.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ supreme authorities of the Church gave up explicitly condemning evil , and limited themselves to speak , in an often unclear way , on the good .
No truths have since been defined and no errors anathemized .
Evil was often hidden or ignored .
But if good is not clearly defined and evil is not firmly condemned , it no longer makes sense to speak of heaven or of hell , which are the reward or the punishment that , for eternity , await those who die either in a state of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
And in the end it no longer makes sense to even talk about eternity .
A horizontal and sociological worldview replaces the vertical and supernatural one .
This leads to “ Fratelli tutti .
”

In the wake of the Second Vatican Council, we have a 'new morality' and the loss of the Church's determination to condemn evil and fight sin.
November 30, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – Professor Roberto de Mattei, a prominent Italian historian and traditional Catholic, has commented on the Theodore McCarrick scandal as it has been further revealed by the recently published McCarrick Report. In a statement written for LifeSiteNews, he explains the link between this decades-long history of the Church’s ignoring warning signs about McCarrick’s immoral personal life and the weakening of the Church’s moral integrity since the Second Vatican Council. With the Council, he says, came a “new morality” and the loss of the Church's determination to condemn evil and fight sin.
LifeSite has noted that the McCarrick Report reveals how all three Popes involved in the McCarrick case – John Paul II, Benedict XVI, as well as Francis – had in one way or another an all-too lenient attitude toward the now-ex cardinal. John Paul II was aware that the U.S. cardinal repeatedly slept, as bishop, with priests and seminarians in the same bed; Benedict XVI had received public warnings by U.S. journalists such as Richard Sipe and Matt Abbot that McCarrick had homosexual relations with priests; and Francis was informed by several of his collaborators about McCarrick’s history yet decided to collaborate with him on multiple fronts.
Since most of the McCarrick scandal developed under the pontificates of Popes with a more conservative reputation, LifeSite reached out to Professor de Mattei, asking him to comment on this phenomenon, also in light of the fact that conservative cardinals such as the deceased Cardinal Joachim Meisner have now come under criticism in Germany for having mishandled terrible cases of sex abuse. For example, Meisner is now being described by a leaked report prepared by a law firm hired by the Archdiocese of Cologne for having kept a priest, Father A., in good standing, and for decades, who had already been imprisoned in 1972 for multiple abuses of children. The priest never encountered canonical sanctions or punishments for his repeated sexual abuse, even in later years – for example after having been once more sentenced by a court for sexual abuse in 1988, the year when Cardinal Meisner became the archbishop of Cologne. An independent LifeSite report on this matter is forthcoming.
In order to explain even the lack of decisiveness in fighting clerical sexual abuse among conservative Popes and prelates, Professor de Mattei points in his statement (see full text below) to the Second Vatican Council. According to him, from the Council “emerged” a “nouvelle morale” that embraced the world and changed the Church’s view of sexuality.
The Council's Constitution Gaudium et Spes reversed the ends of marriage, giving the traditional primary end of marriage – that is, the begetting and raising of children – a lesser significance than the aspect of conjugal love and support. By reversing the ends of marriage, the path to a love independent of procreation – thereby indirectly opening a path to homosexual “love” – was opened up. De Mattei speaks here of a “distorted idea of love.”
By way of confirmation of this thesis, we might point out that especially the German progressivist wing of the Church repeatedly stresses that the marital act need not be linked with its procreative act. For example, Professor Stephan Goertz, a moral theologian and author of books on homosexuality, proposed in 2015 that procreation was linked with sexuality in the times of the Old Testament since the Jews at the time struggled for their survival. He then went on to say that this “is obviously not any more our situation, and that, since the (Second Vatican) Council, it has also not been any more our own moral teaching on sexuality.”
In the same vein, Professor Eberhard Schockenhoff – the key architect of the German Synodal Path that aims at questioning the Church’s teaching on sexual morality, male ordination, and the Church’s hierarchy – proposed last year that sexuality and lust be regarded in their positive characteristics as helping people to “assure themselves of their identity,” thus they be regarded as a “end in itself,” without reference to procreation.
Professor de Mattei explains this phenomenon as follows: “Sexuality was defined as an essential value for the personal maturation of the individual. The Council's Constitution Gaudium et Spes, which abandoned the traditional doctrine on procreation as the primary end of marriage, was considered a manifesto of this new relationship with the world.”

With regard to Pope Benedict XVI, the Italian historian states that “while vigorously opposing pedophilia,” he “has never dared to condemn the rampant homosexuality within the Church, applying a policy of silence, which has become aiding and abetting sin.”
This can be seen not only in the McCarrick case – where Benedict XVI explicitly decided against opening up a canonical investigation of the allegations against McCarrick that would have brought light and justice into the matter – but also in the case of a former high-ranking German diplomat, Monsignor K. In the case of Monsignor K, Benedict decided merely to move him away from the Vatican and then, after additional and persisting reports about Monsignor K’s active and aggressive homosexuality, to dismiss him from the diplomatic service and to send him back to his home diocese, instead of investigating the allegations of his misdeeds.

However, he did not establish ways of making sure that these conditions – for example, that they do not tinker with the rubrics of the Holy Mass and that they preserve the sense of being members of the Catholic Church and don't think they are something exclusive – were met and implemented. And, as multiple reports show, he also did not take seriously the warning reports he received from different sources. As a newly published report of the Archdiocese of Munich-Freising shows, this group never mended its ways, had a cult-like character, and intruded into the personal lives of its members, telling some of them whether they should have children or not and that much of their personal wealth should be handed over to the community.

That is to say, the Council not only brought us an opening toward a “new morality” that opened paths to an acceptance of homosexuality, but it also weakened the Church's determination to fight evil. In this sense, Pope Francis’s new encyclical Fratelli tutti is for Professor de Mattei a continuation of the loss of this “supernatural” worldview that keeps in mind the end stages of our human existence, heaven or hell.
Please see here Professor de Mattei’s full statement:
The McCarrick case is the ultimate and sensational expression of a vast problem that has its origins in the “nouvelle morale” that emerged with the Second Vatican Council. According to this new psychological and moral attitude, Catholics should change their relationship with the world, discovering its positive character. Sexuality was defined as an essential value for the personal maturation of the individual. The Council's Constitution Gaudium et Spes, which abandoned the traditional doctrine on procreation as the primary end of marriage, was considered a manifesto of this new relationship with the world. We moved from the love of neighbor, based on the love of God and the discipline of sexual instincts, to a dialogical relationship with the other in which the satisfaction of instincts was justified in the name of a distorted idea of love. Certainly not everybody, within the Church, has brought this discourse to its logical consequences, but unfortunately John Paul II, with his “theology of the body,” has proposed a false alternative to the new morality; and Benedict XVI, while vigorously opposing pedophilia, has never dared to condemn the rampant homosexuality within the Church, applying a policy of silence, which has become aiding and abetting sin. Just like Pope Benedict, also many other conservative prelates were affected by this weakness in dealing with and confronting the homosexual problem within the Church. Ignoring these responsibilities would be hypocrisy.
If the gay-friendly culture has its implicit premise in the new morality introduced by the pastoral constitution Gaudium et Spes, which is the last document of the Second Vatican Council, the failure to condemn homosexuality has its presupposition in the discourse with which on October 11, 1962, John XXIII opened the Council establishing the distinction between the truths of faith and morals and “the way in which they are announced.” From that moment on, the supreme authorities of the Church gave up explicitly condemning evil, and limited themselves to speak, in an often unclear way, on the good. No truths have since been defined and no errors anathemized. Evil was often hidden or ignored. But if good is not clearly defined and evil is not firmly condemned, it no longer makes sense to speak of heaven or of hell, which are the reward or the punishment that, for eternity, await those who die either in a state of grace or in a state of sin. And in the end it no longer makes sense to even talk about eternity. A horizontal and sociological worldview replaces the vertical and supernatural one. This leads to “Fratelli tutti.”

WASHINGTON , D.C. , November 30 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) – The U.S. Supreme Court is slated to privately discuss two abortion-related cases this week , one concerning a 15-week abortion ban in Mississippi , the other concerning the rights of pro-life protesters in Pennsylvania .

WASHINGTON, D.C., November 30, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – The U.S. Supreme Court is slated to privately discuss two abortion-related cases this week, one concerning a 15-week abortion ban in Mississippi, the other concerning the rights of pro-life protesters in Pennsylvania.
Missoui pro-life lobbyist Samuel Lee highlighted the news on social media, noting that the justices will be discussing the two cases in conference (then presumably voting on them) on Friday.
Today #SCOTUS listed two abortion-related cases for conference on Dec. 4: Mississippi's 15-week abortion ban; and Bruni v. Pittsburgh (19-1184), regarding prohibitions on pro-life speech and advocacy near abortion clinics. Both cases had been rescheduled from earlier conferences. — Samuel Lee (@samuelhlee) November 30, 2020
The first case concerns Mississippi’s HB 1510, which prohibits abortions from being committed past 15 weeks for any reason other than physical medical emergencies or severe fetal abnormalities. After being enacted last year, U.S. District Judge Carlton Reeves quickly issued a temporary restraining order against enforcing the law, then declared it unconstitutional in a ruling filled with pro-abortion talking points rather than legal arguments. Nevertheless, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals sided with Reeves, prompting appeal to the nation’s highest court.
The Fifth Circuit had claimed that an “an unbroken line dating to Roe v. Wade” had firmly entrenched the “right” to pre-viability abortion, but that “unbroken line” is precisely what Mississippi and other pro-life states intend to challenge. Attorneys with the Life Legal Defense Foundation noted that the Court has also acknowledged a “compelling interest in protecting the unborn child” as pregnancy progresses, particularly on criteria like fetal pain – which can be felt before viability.
The Supreme Court has already delayed its conferencing on the 15-week abortion ban several times.
The other case concerns a 2005 Pittsburgh “bubble zone” ordinance requiring pro-life activists to stay more than 15 feet away from the entrance to abortion facilities, effectively keeping pro-lifers from communicating with women entering or exiting the building to appeal to them to choose life or offer them assistance with abortion alternatives.
The case has been working through the federal courts for years, with city officials claiming the ban is neutral with regard to the content of speech, but Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) argues that, because it applies specifically to providers of “therapeutic,” “healing,” or “health-building” services, its intent to apply specifically to pro-life speech is clear.
“Americans have the freedom to talk to whomever they please on public sidewalks,” ADF legal counsel Elissa Graves says. “That includes peaceful pro-lifers who just want to offer information and help to women who would like to know their options.”

Thank you for signing this petition! Add your signature: Show Petition Text Country... State... Sign this Petition PETITION UPDATE (9/26/2020): With President Trump's nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to fill the vacancy on the Supreme Court left by the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, we are closer than we have been in decades to seeing Roe vs. Wade overturned. We now encourage the Senate to confirm Barrett as the next Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. Judge Barrett has a fantastic track recond on sanctity of life issues, has seven children, and is a devout believer. She is the perfect remedy for Ruth Bader Ginsburg's radical pro-abortionism. Please READ the full story here: 'BREAKING: Trump nominates Catholic mom of 7 Judge Amy Coney Barrett to Supreme Court' And then, please SIGN this petition telling the High Court that it's now time to end the activist Roe vs. Wade judgment. Thank you! __________________________________________________________________ PETITION UPDATE (6/29/2020): In a decision which has imperiled more abortion-minded women, sentenced more preborn to death, and upset pro-lifers across the nation,the United States Supreme Court decided 5-4 to strike down a Louisiana law requiring basic medical precautions in the event of abortion complications, with Chief Justice John Roberts reversing his own past decision to uphold a similar Texas law. Liberal Justice Stephen Breyer wrote the majority opinion, which held that the Louisiana law was unconstitutional for the simple fact that it was “almost word-for-word identical” to the Texas one the court already struck down in 2016. In his concurring opinion, Chief Justice Roberts acknowledged that he had “joined the dissent in Whole Woman’s Health and continue to believe that the case was wrongly decided. The question today however is not whether Whole Woman’s Health was right or wrong, but whether to adhere to it in deciding the present case.” We call on the Supreme Court to stop supporting the culture of death and overturn Roe vs Wade, now. PETITION UPDATE (1/20/2020): Hundreds of thousands of people will gather in Washington, D.C., this coming Friday, January 24th, for the March for Life. They will be praying for an end to Roe vs Wade, as the Supreme Court will hear a crucial, abortion-related case later this year in March. United our voices can change the course of history. Sign this petition TODAY! (LEARN MORE BELOW) PETITION UPDATE (1/3/2020): In advance of the Supreme Court's hearing arguments in an important abortion case later this year in March, 207 U.S. Senators and Representatives have signed amicus briefs supporting a Louisiana law requiring abortionists to have admitting privileges at a hospital nearby an abortion center. Some of these supporting briefs also suggest that now is the time to reconsider Roe vs Wade as sound law. Please SIGN this petition, calling on the U.S. Supreme Court to strike down Roe vs Wade. _____________________________________________________________________________ More than 60 million Americans have been slaughtered in their mother's wombs as a result of Roe v. Wade. This activist, unconstitutional ruling in 1973 has left countless women emotionally and psychologically scarred. It was believed by many that Roe would be overturned in 1992 with Planned Parenthood v. Casey. Despite having eight Republican-appointed judges at the time, the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 to uphold it. Since then, major gains have been made in the fight for life, and many lives have been saved. However, Roe v. Wade remains the law of the land, leaving millions of defenseless pre-born children vulnerable to murder. According to a 2016 study conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 35% of aborted babies are African American, despite black women only making up six percent of the U.S. population. 19% of aborted babies are Hispanic. We thus again call on the court to do everything they can to end Roe vs Wade. Now is the time for pro-lifers to join together and ensure that all of God's children have a right to life. Roe v. Wade must come to an end!

lifesitenews--2020-11-30--Canadian province issues new COVID-19 guidance calling for ‘no parties’ this ‘holiday season’

November 30 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) – Ontario Premier Doug Ford expects families to avoid “ holiday parties or large family dinners ” for 2020 in a politically correct announcement about “ Holiday Season Safety ” that did not mention Christmas at all .
“ I know there are many people looking forward to their traditional family celebrations at this time of year , but to keep your loved ones safe , traditions will have to be adjusted , ” said Ford last week in a government press release .
“ We 're asking everyone to please stick to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ big holiday parties or large family dinners to help us stop the spread of this deadly virus .
By following this public health advice , we can all have a safe and fun holiday season.
” The “ Celebrate the Holiday Season Safely ” guidelines from the Ford government are , for now , only suggestions for most of the province , except for the Toronto and Peel Region .
The Toronto and Peel regions are currently the only areas in Ontario under the most restrictive “ Lockdown-Grey ” category , and the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ remain at this level until at least a few days before Christmas .
In early November , the Ontario government introduced a new framework with five different levels of color-coded lockdown classifications .
The most restrictive level , the “ Lockdown-Grey ” category , states that “ No indoor organized public events and social gatherings , except with members of the same household , ” are allowed .
Outdoor gatherings are limited to 10 people , and indoor worship at churches is banned .
Restaurants are only allowed takeout .
“ Individuals who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ consider having exclusive , close contact with another household to help reduce the negative impacts of social isolation , ” reads the “ Lockdown-Grey ” restrictions .
“ While the above is recommended advice from public health officials , please remember you must adhere to public health and workplace safety measures and rules in your region.
” The green “ Prevent , ” yellow “ Protect , ” and orange “ Restrict ” levels allow for social gatherings of 10 people indoors and 25 people outdoors , with churches being allowed to operate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ Control ” level lowers indoor social gatherings to five people while keeping the same amount as before at 10 for outdoors .
Church capacity remains the same as the lesser levels .
Despite most of the province not being under the most restrictive “ Lockdown-Grey ” category , the “ Celebrate the Holiday Season Safely ” advice urges Ontarians that “ no matter where you live in the province , the safest way to spend the holidays this year is by only celebrating in person with the people you live with and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ If you live alone , consider exclusively celebrating with one additional household as a safe way to spend the holidays.
” The Ford “ Holiday ” guidelines also offer a “ Safer Holiday Activities ” and “ Riskier Holiday Activities ” guide .
One example compares the supposed “ safer ” activity of “ building a snowman or going on a sleigh ride with members of your household , ” to the “ riskier ” activity of “ In-person holiday gatherings or events , particularly gatherings where masks or face coverings must be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a press conference last Wednesday , Ford reiterated his stance that families should celebrate without anyone else .
“ After the year we ’ ve had , it ’ s important that we find some time over the holidays , but we have to do it safely , ” Ford told reporters .
In late October , Canada Prime Minister Justin Trudeau warned that unless “ we ’ re really , really careful ” Canadians might not be able to celebrate Christmas with family and friends , despite the fact he allegedly broke @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this Easter .
Campaign Life Coalition ’ s President Jeff Gunnarson told LifeSiteNews that Trudeau ’ s remarks suggesting Christmas may be canceled are “ Grinch- like ” and a “ creepy sort of Herodian evil ” considering his support of abortion .
Some business owners affected by the most extreme “ grey ” lockdown measures in Ontario that ban in-person dining have chosen to fight back .
Last week , Adam Skelly , a Toronto restaurant owner of Adamson ’ s BBQinEtobicoke , was arrested for defying local health orders after he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was covered extensively by Rebel News , who shared the raw footage of Skelly ’ s arrest .
Skelly was released on bail of $ 50,000 last Friday and faces a total of 13 charges .
He is due in court in early 2021 .

PETITION UPDATE (2/25/2021) -
Not only has the federal Senate in Canada not come to the aid of vulnerable people threatened by the passage of Euthanasia Bill C-7, they have actually voted to make matters worse by EXPANDING provision of euthanasia beyond what C-7 had originally intended.
The bill will now go back to Parliament, where the Senate's amendments can be accepted or rejected.
Please READ LifeSiteNews' analysis of the Trudeau Liberals' latest salvo in their all-out push to expand euthanasia in Canada: https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/canada-senate-passes-euthanasia-bill-expanding-categories-of-the-killable
Then, please SIGN and SHARE this petition. Thank you.
______________________________________________________________________
PETITION UPDATE (12/9/2020)
On December 3, 2020, the Concurrence at report stage of Bill C-7 passed with 213 yeas and 103 nays, with a total of 316 votes.
Bill C-7 would expand already existing provisions for assisted suicide. It would "repeal the provision that requires a person’s natural death be reasonably foreseeable."
The Bill is currently in its Third Reading in the House of Commons and will move on to the Senate if it passes.
We are obliged to help people who are suffering, especially the vulnerable, and that’s why we must oppose Bill C-7.
Please SIGN and SHARE this urgent petition. Then, please contact your MP and tell them to vote NO on Bill C-7. You can find your MP and their contact information HERE.
____________________________________________________________________
We are obliged to help people who are suffering, not kill them.
But, that's exactly what the existing euthanasia law - the so-called "medical assistance in dying (MAiD)" provision - allows.
And, right now, the Trudeau Liberals are pushing for making death even more accessible to our most vulnerable citizens by tabling Bill C-7 in Parliament.
Please SIGN this petition and call for Canada's Members of Parliament to REJECT more euthanasia in Bill C-7, and, instead, provide for more homecare, palliative care, and mental health support.
Bill C-7 would expand existing provisions for assisted-suicide by removing the requirement that a person's natural death be reasonably foreseeable to qualify for MAiD.
Simply put: under C-7, people who are not terminally ill can be killed by MAiD!
This is outrageous, as it puts people with disabilities, the elderly, the young, and those who cannot consent (if they had already agreed to MAiD) at serious risk.
Please CLICK HERE to learn more about Bill C-7 and how it would put those vulnerable people more at risk, and allow for more death and more killing.
Then, please SIGN and SHARE this urgent petition.
Our elected Members of Parliament should be discussing how to help our disabled, elderly and young people with greater provision for homecare, palliative care, and mental health support, rather than encouraging our most vulnerable to kill themselves with our government's help and endorsement.
Nothing could be more foul and malicious.
And, while it's true that Trudeau's Minister of Justice is sponsoring this atrocious Bill, 40 Conservative Party politicians supported him in the vote on the Bill's Second Reading in late October.
We list these 40 Conservative MPs below, so that, after signing this petition, you can politely and respectfully contact them to let them know you want them to REJECT the expansion of MAiD (which, again, will mean more death and more killing), and to EMBRACE life-affirming provisions, like more funding for homecare, palliative care, and mental health support for our most vulnerable citizens.
Thank you!

lifesitenews--2020-11-30--Canadian doctor doubles down: ‘Lockdowns are draconian…no basis in evidence-based medicine’

ALBERTA , Canada , November 30 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) – A Canadian doctor who caused a firestorm of controversy earlier this month after blasting government-imposed COVID-19 measures at a public city meeting in Alberta is not only doubling down on his comments but is going even further .
“ I take the Hippocratic Oath extremely seriously .
The first line is do no harm , and that is what motivated my presentation , ” Dr. Roger Hodkinson told The Epoch Times in a Nov. 24 interview in reference to a Nov. 13 speech he made to Edmonton city @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ greatest hoax ever perpetrated on an unsuspecting public ” that lockdowns and masks were being used in an attempt to contain the spread of COVID-19 .
“ If I see something going on that ’ s harmful , I feel as a physician that I ’ m obligated to stand up and say something , ” he added before going on to call lockdowns that are spreading across Canada “ draconian.
” Dr. Hodkinson , CEO and Medical Director of Western Medical Assessments , laid out his credentials at the beginning of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
“ I ’ m a medical specialist in pathology which includes virology .
I trained at Cambridge University in the U.K.
I ’ m the ex-president of the pathology section of the Medical Association .
I was previously an assistant professor in the Faculty of Medicine doing a lot of teaching .
I was the chairman of the Royal College of Physicians of Canada Examination Committee and Pathology in Ottawa , but more to the point I ’ m currently the chairman of a biotechnology company in North Carolina selling the COVID-19 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The bottom line is simply this : There is utterly unfounded public hysteria driven by the media and politicians .
It ’ s outrageous .
This is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on an unsuspecting public.
” “ There is absolutely nothing that can be done to contain this virus , ” he said , adding : “ This is not Ebola .
It ’ s not SARS .
It ’ s politics playing medicine and that ’ s a very dangerous game.
” Hodkinson called using masks to prevent the spread of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ noting that “ there is no evidence base for their effectiveness whatsoever.
” “ Paper masks and fabric masks are simply virtue-signaling .
They ’ re not even worn effectively most of the time .
It ’ s utterly ridiculous , ” he said .
The doctor ’ s comments on the ineffectiveness of masks is backed by recent peer-reviewed research that found that wearing a face-mask did not have a significant effect on the spread of COVID-19 .
Hodkinson told The Epoch Times that government measures — lockdowns , restrictions on private @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stop the spread of the virus , from which the vast majority of people infected with it recover , do more harm than good .
“ All of this is draconian … first of all because they have no basis in evidence-based medicine , and secondly because of horrendous consequences of that action , ” he said .
“ We ’ re talking , of course , about an enormous number of businesses—ferocious , hardworking , entrepreneurial people who are seeing their dreams disappear .
We ’ re talking about delayed cancer investigations @ @ @ @ @ @ @ about cancelled surgeries .
We ’ re talking about suicides and drug addiction , ” he added .
“ The consequence of all these measures is , and has been , absolutely catastrophic.
” The doctor said that the position he now backs regarding COVID-19 aligns with the Great Barrington Declaration , signed by almost 50,000 medical practitioners and medical and public health scientists , who have raised “ grave concerns about the damaging physical and mental health impacts of the prevailing COVID-19 policies.
” “ Coming from both the left and right @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have devoted our careers to protecting people .
Current lockdown policies are producing devastating effects on short and long-term public health .

'I take the Hippocratic Oath extremely seriously. The first line is do no harm, and that is what motivated my presentation'
ALBERTA, Canada, November 30, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – A Canadian doctor who caused a firestorm of controversy earlier this month after blasting government-imposed COVID-19 measures at a public city meeting in Alberta is not only doubling down on his comments but is going even further.
“I take the Hippocratic Oath extremely seriously. The first line is do no harm, and that is what motivated my presentation,” Dr. Roger Hodkinson told The Epoch Times in a Nov. 24 interview in reference to a Nov. 13 speech he made to Edmonton city councilors in which he called it the “greatest hoax ever perpetrated on an unsuspecting public” that lockdowns and masks were being used in an attempt to contain the spread of COVID-19.
“If I see something going on that’s harmful, I feel as a physician that I’m obligated to stand up and say something,” he added before going on to call lockdowns that are spreading across Canada “draconian.”
Dr. Hodkinson, CEO and Medical Director of Western Medical Assessments, laid out his credentials at the beginning of his Nov. 13 presentation to city council.
“I’m a medical specialist in pathology which includes virology. I trained at Cambridge University in the U.K. I’m the ex-president of the pathology section of the Medical Association. I was previously an assistant professor in the Faculty of Medicine doing a lot of teaching. I was the chairman of the Royal College of Physicians of Canada Examination Committee and Pathology in Ottawa, but more to the point I’m currently the chairman of a biotechnology company in North Carolina selling the COVID-19 test,” he said.
“The bottom line is simply this: There is utterly unfounded public hysteria driven by the media and politicians. It’s outrageous. This is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on an unsuspecting public.”
“There is absolutely nothing that can be done to contain this virus,” he said, adding: “This is not Ebola. It’s not SARS. It’s politics playing medicine and that’s a very dangerous game.”
Hodkinson called using masks to prevent the spread of the virus “utterly useless,” noting that “there is no evidence base for their effectiveness whatsoever.”
“Paper masks and fabric masks are simply virtue-signaling. They’re not even worn effectively most of the time. It’s utterly ridiculous,” he said.
The doctor’s comments on the ineffectiveness of masks is backed by recent peer-reviewed research that found that wearing a face-mask did not have a significant effect on the spread of COVID-19.
Hodkinson told The Epoch Times that government measures — lockdowns, restrictions on private gatherings, mask mandates— to try to stop the spread of the virus, from which the vast majority of people infected with it recover, do more harm than good.
“All of this is draconian … first of all because they have no basis in evidence-based medicine, and secondly because of horrendous consequences of that action,” he said.
“We’re talking, of course, about an enormous number of businesses—ferocious, hardworking, entrepreneurial people who are seeing their dreams disappear. We’re talking about delayed cancer investigations and treatment. We’re talking about cancelled surgeries. We’re talking about suicides and drug addiction,” he added.
“The consequence of all these measures is, and has been, absolutely catastrophic.”
The doctor said that the position he now backs regarding COVID-19 aligns with the Great Barrington Declaration, signed by almost 50,000 medical practitioners and medical and public health scientists, who have raised “grave concerns about the damaging physical and mental health impacts of the prevailing COVID-19 policies.”
“Coming from both the left and right, and around the world, we have devoted our careers to protecting people. Current lockdown policies are producing devastating effects on short and long-term public health. The results (to name a few) include lower childhood vaccination rates, worsening cardiovascular disease outcomes, fewer cancer screenings and deteriorating mental health – leading to greater excess mortality in years to come, with the working class and younger members of society carrying the heaviest burden. Keeping students out of school is a grave injustice,” the declaration states.
The declaration was authorized and signed in Great Barrington, Massachusetts on Oct. 4, by Dr. Martin Kulldorff, a professor of medicine at Harvard University who is a biostatistician and epidemiologist with an expertise in detecting and monitoring infectious disease outbreaks, Dr. Sunetra Gupta, a professor at Oxford University who is an epidemiologist with expertise in immunology, vaccine development, and mathematical modeling of infectious diseases, and Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, a professor at Stanford University Medical School who is a physician, epidemiologist, health economist, and public health policy expert who focuses on infectious diseases and vulnerable populations.
Hodkinson said that his position on COVID-19 has resulted in an inordinate amount of negative attention where many have challenged his statements and even questioned his credentials. The doctor said in a Nov. 29 interview with Anna Brees that he has even received “death threats.” He added that nothing was going to stop him from telling the truth about COVID-19.
Social media has cracked down on those who attempted to share the doctor’s message online as well as news agencies that were attempting to report on his words.
On Nov. 30, Youtube removed from LifeSite’s channel a video of the doctor’s speech and then slapped LifeSite with a penalty of not being able to upload videos for a week and issued the first of three strikes.

Trump lawyer outlines voter fraud in seven states, accuses Dems of holding un-constitutional election

WASHINGTON , D.C. , November 30 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) – In a November 27 video , President Donald Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani explained the legal theory behind various lawsuits regarding voter fraud and outlined violations of the U.S. Constitution in multiple states .
Giuliani referred to Article 2 , Section 1 from the Constitution , “ the Electors clause , ” saying the legal theory underpins “ the single case that could be brought to the Supreme Court that consolidates the arguments made in the other six cases.
” Quoting from the text of the Constitution , Giuliani @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the first instance , and really throughout , in charge of the election.
” No leeway is given to delegate power to committees or election commissioners to change the law .
These rules are particularly important now , he continued , since they have been “ broken to such an extent that so many ballots are defective that it changes the result of the election , which is largely true in every single one of these states.
” The former New York mayor then highlighted the legal and constitutional violations in various states @ @ @ @ @ @ @ must be examined , as well as prohibiting any changes to be made to ballots after they are filed , some officials “ went ahead and allowed certain people to fix their absentee ballot before it was entered , and that would be a violation of the law.
” While the numbers involved are too small to overturn “ the 80,000 vote margin , ” Giuliani mentioned that they are “ indicative of a kind of Wild-West attitude to not follow the rules.
” A major issue was found regarding the inspection of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the state ” performed the event “ very scrupulously , ” in other parts of the state “ it was wholesale refusal to do it , including putting Republicans in pens , treating them like second class citizens , even forms of assault .
“ 268,770 of them ( ballots ) just cast … no security check of any kind , in violation of the Constitution ” he added .
Giuliani suggested that these two issues could be points in the “ overall complaint ” claiming that “ the Democrat National Committee @ @ @ @ @ @ @ electors , carried on an election in violation of Article 2 , Section 1.
” The issues in Michigan mirror those in Pennsylvania , “ where they didn ’ t follow the rules with regards to signature verification en masse , ” but also in Michigan , Giuliani added that “ they added 100,000 phoney ballots to stuff the ballot box.
” Dealing with Wisconsin , Giuliani noted that “ they failed to keep the applications for the absentee ballots , which is a manner directed by the legislature for the carrying out @ @ @ @ @ @ @ completely.
” The possible number of votes thus affected in Wisconsin is “ about 100,000 , ” with the margin of votes between the two candidates being only “ 10,000.
” The anomalies were “ similar ” in Nevada , since , contrary to the election commission requiring “ in-person inspection of every one of the ballots , instead a number of ballots were run through a machine to compare the signatures.
” “ There is no authority in the constitution of Nevada to allow that , ” added Giuliani .
Giuliani also @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mail-in ballots , saying that though the state deemed such ballots as “ very dangerous , no signatures are going to have to be verified , according to a consent decree they entered into.
” Meanwhile , Arizona legislature “ requires that ballots be inspected ” yet “ the legislative officials did away with that.
” The officials also ignored the legislature “ with regard to 36,000 illegals who were allowed to vote.
” “ The overview of this is , ” said Giuliani , “ when you look at the similarity of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in which we ’ ve brought , similar patterns , similar hidings , the similar putting Republicans in corrals , you see this is part of an overall plan or scheme .
This wasn ’ t developed all on their own , spontaneously , by eight or nine leaders of the Democrat Party.
” Commenting on the facts presented , Giuliani stated that “ they can be proved quite quickly.
” “ This is important so that we elect the right President , ” he continued , adding that this would be “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” A president should be “ the person who ’ s best for the office , not best on knowing how to cheat , ” he added .
Giuliani displayed great faith in his evidence , saying the “ sworn affidavits ” he has are “ a lot better than just about anything they ever had when they investigated President Trump.
” The widespread voter fraud and the failure to report on it , Giuliani termed as “ selling out our country in a strange way.
” Meanwhile , last Wednesday Sidney Powell @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ the Kraken , ” in both Georgia and Michigan , pointing to huge voter fraud and violation of the constitution .
“ The fraud was executed by many means , but the most fundamentally troubling , insidious , and egregious is the systemic adaptation of old-fashioned ‘ ballot-stuffing , ’ ” the complaint says .
Powell ’ s lawsuit further mentions that “ China and Iran spied on the election ( and possibly manipulated it ) .
” Help stop voter fraud : Project Veritas is accepting voter fraud tips here .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ voter fraud .
Tsunami of voter fraud evidence is about to sweep away media ’ s claim that Biden won .

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!
