Bombshell! Here’s a Video of Dominion Director, Eric Coomer, Explaining to Elections Officials How to Switch Votes

Dr. Eric Coomer who is responsible for the strategy and Security of Dominion Voting Systems at Dominion Voting Systems .
But if you search the company ’ s profile Eric Coomer has since been removed from their page of directors .
In 2016 Coomer told the Illinois States Board of Elections that it was possible to bypass election systems software .
Here is more from the 2016 article at the Post and Email : Dr. Coomer ’ s statement brings to light a very serious issue all voters should understand .
Voting systems must be re-certified each time they make @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Recertification is an expensive and time consuming process .
What Dr. Coomer told the Board is that Dominion Voting does not go back for recertification of software when threats to their code are discovered .
Rather , they rely on post-election audits and providing advice to election jurisdictions about security .
I have reviewed all of the recertification documents produced by Dominion , and I do not recall any software adjustments for security purposes .
This is the reality of the security of your vote .
Software systems that count and record the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are not updated to address security problems , and even if they were , the software can be completely bypassed by going to the data tables that drive the systems .
And in 2017 Eric Coomer explained how to alter votes in the Dominion Voting Systems in a Chicago demonstration .
Here is the video ( 7:30 ) : A video turned up from 2017 where Dr. Eric Coomer from Dominion Voting explained to Chicago election officials how to alter votes in the Dominion voting machines .
This then is the SECOND VIDEO @ @ @ @ @ @ @ officials how to alter votes with the Dominion machines !
This was a separate demonstration in the Chicago area ( notice he is wearing a dark jacket and is without the wrist protector . )

The service NewsGuard, an establishment attempt to silence alternative media and independent media sites, has teamed up with Microsoft to help its effort to destroy free press.
NewsGuard is now automatically included in Microsoft’s Edge browser on iOS, Android and Microsoft phones.
Microsoft’s press release regarding the partnership states that NewsGuard “will empower voters by providing them with high-quality information about the integrity and transparency of online news sites.”
Just one problem, who is providing transparency about the news rating agency?
When a user decides to search the Web, the extension tells the user whether or not a story is credible or not credible with 5 indicators and an information box judging the website.
Green icon — Sites that follow “basic standards of accuracy and accountability” based on nine criteria,which include full disclosure of possible conflicts of interest, financing, and “notable ideological or political positions held by those with significant financial interests in the site.”
Red icon — Sites that do not fulfill NewsGuard’s criteria for credibility and transparency.
Orange icon — Satire and humor sites that mimic real news.
Blue icon — Sites that primarily host user-generated content.
Gray icon —Unrated sites.
There is just one problem: the plugin is only blacklisting certain sites and does not actually have fact checkers looking into the story in question.
So, in fact, the service is censoring alternative and independent media. But, let’s be honest, that’s exactly what its founders, creators, funders, and advisors want.
About that transparency … the list of advisors for NewsGuard includes Tom Ridge, the former secretary of Homeland Security, Richard Stengel, former editor of Time magazine and Undersecretary of State for Public Diplomacy (Obama administration), (Ret.) General Michael Hayden, former Director of the CIA, former Director of the National Security Agency and former Principal Deputy Director of National Intelligence (George W. Bush administration), Don Baer, chairman of Burson, Cohn & Wolfe and former White House Communications Director (Clinton administration), Elise Jordan, political analyst, NBC, and former speechwriter for Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
Oh and then there are the journalists (traitors of free speech) like John Battelle, co-founding editor of Wired and founding chief executive of Industry Standard and Jessica Lessin, founder, and editor-in-chief of The Information.
If you aren’t worried about a company with a former CIA director (who lied under oath to Congress misleading officials, according to the Senate report on the CIA’s interrogation program) and a former secretary of Homeland Security official as its advisors, you may need a reality check. Please go see Dr. Benn Swann for a checkup stat!
Then there is Richard Stengel, a member of the Atlantic Council (neo-liberal think tank) and former Undersecretary of State for Public Diplomacy under President Barack Obama who deserves a short blurb for his own involvement. Why?
Because Stengel admitted his role in life at a previous discussion hosted last May by the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR).
At the event Stengel described his past position at the State Department as a “chief propagandist” and further stated that he is “not against propaganda” and it was needed. H/T Disobedient Media.
“Every country does it and they have to do it to their own population and I don’t necessarily think it’s that awful,” Stengel said.

Investors in NewsGuard — which raised a whopping $6M in funding — include the following people and corporations, according to Finsmes, a website for real-time VC and private equities and news.
However, Finsmes appear to have left out a big investing group known as the Publicis Groupe. Publicis Groupe is the third largest global communications company in the world, with more than 80,000 employees in over 100 countries and an annual revenue of over €9.6 billion ($10.98 billion), according to its website.

– John Levy
– Whitney Hatch
Meanwhile, the current CEOs of NewsGuard are Steven Brill and Louis Gordon Crovitz, one of whom has a colorful history; the other is just a journalist.
Crovitz is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, and he further notes in his bio, available on NewsGuard’s website, that he has been an “editor or contributor to books published by the American Enterprise Institute and Heritage Foundation.”
Yes, the infamous Heritage Foundation, and the American Enterprise Institute, a neoconservative think tank.
But it doesn’t end there! In the early 1980s, Crovitz held a number of positions at Dow Jones and at The Wall Street Journal, eventually becoming executive vice president of Dow Jones and the publisher of The Wall Street Journal in 2006-2007.
Ironically, Crovitz “Mr. I want to fix fake news” has consistently been accused of spreading misinformation into his Wall Street Journal columns, with groups like the Electronic Frontier Foundation accusing him of “repeatedly getting his facts wrong” on NSA surveillance.
And hilariously he falsely claimed that the Internet was invented entirely privately at Xerox PARC, which was exposed as “fantastically false claims” by the same people he cited for them.
TechDirt wrote at the time:
“Almost everyone he [Crovitz] sourced or credited to support his argument that the internet was invented entirely privately at Xerox PARC and when Vint Cerf helped create TCP/IP, has spoken out to say he’s wrong. And that list includes both Vint Cerf, himself, and Xerox. Other sources, including Robert Taylor (who was there when the internet was invented) and Michael Hiltzik, have rejected Crovitz’s spinning of their own stories.”
According to NewsGuard, the service has rated more than 2,000 news and information sites, while it plans to take its ranking efforts much further by eventually reviewing “the 7,500 most-read news and information websites in the U.S.; also noting that the number accounts for “about 98 percent news and information people read and share online” in the United States in English.
The company is lobbying to have its rankings of news sites installed by default on computers in U.S. public libraries, schools, and universities as well as on smartphones and computers sold in the United States. And its partnership with Microsoft for its Edge browser just helped that effort rigorously.
Several articles represent NewsGuard as using “old-school journalism” to fight “fake news” through its reliance on nine criteria to determine whether a news site is credible or not.
However, as Breitbart pointed out (like them or not the information is credible), the news check extension is marking verifiable FAKE news stories as real news, a worrying prospect. Of course, it’s worth noting that NewsGuard is probably (speculatory) in partnership with select news publications like The New York Times, LA Times, CNN, Washington Post, etc. (All the usual big players.)
Look at how NewsGuard and Microsoft openly and audaciously deceive their readers…
The Washington Post’s debunked hoax about Russia hacking Vermont’s utility grid — credible!!
The lie about first lady Melania Trump being an illegal alien — credible!!
The lie about Trump changing the name of Black History Month — credible!!
The lie about Trump threatening to invade Mexico — credible!!
The lie about Congress investigating a Russian fund with ties to Trump — credible!!
Then there is the lack of mention by NewsGuard about the Washington Post’s founder Jeff Bezos $600 million conflicts of interest with the CIA and Voice of America, the U.S. state-funded media outlet having been involved in propaganda admitted by its acting associate director, Ted Lipien, who said that the outlet produces “fluff journalism.”
Arkansas Senator J. William Fulbright has previously stated that VOA, Radio Free Europe, and many others “should be given the opportunity to take their rightful place in the graveyard of Cold War relics.”
Fulbright’s amendment to Smith-Mundt was bolstered in 1985 by Nebraska Senator Edward Zorinsky, who argued that such “propaganda” should be kept out of America as to distinguish the U.S. “from the Soviet Union where domestic propaganda is a principal government activity.”
These are obvious red flags for anyone looking for a truly unbiased fact-checking service when such things are hidden and not publicly displayed … that, or they just suck at researching, which would essentially mean they aren’t qualified to determine what is real and fake news.
Digging even deeper into NewsGuard we may find answers as to why they are not fact checking every news story and just giving websites themselves a rating, because the company only has 21-30 employees according to Pitchbook.
If that’s not enough, Publicis Groupe includes a vast number of P.R. firms whose sole purpose is to shape the news and influence the public on behalf of its corporate clients including the drug and tobacco industries. One of those firms connected to Publicis Groupe is Qorvis Group.
“Recently filed disclosures show that Targeted Victory, a consulting firm founded by Zac Moffatt, a GOP strategist who served as digital director for Mitt Romney’s campaign, has helped to manage Arabia Now. Moffatt’s firm was brought on by Qorvis.”
For more information on NewsGuard, see the more in-depth NewsGuard backstory on MintPress News, about the firm’s connections to Silicon Valley Giants and the government.
This, of course, follows attempts by another service, PropOrNot, to do much of the same, who I ruined when I was working at We Are Change exposing them to the core. So much so they responded to my now-suspended Twitter account An0nkn0wledge. H/T guys!
As a reminder, on the last attempt PropOrNot was found to be backed by none other than the Foreign Policy Research Institute. And what is the Foreign Policy Research Institute?
A think tank with the mission of indoctrinating the U.S. with its foreign policy agenda:
“The Foreign Policy Research Institute is dedicated to bringing the insights of scholarship to bear on the foreign policy and national security challenges facing the United States. It seeks to educate the public, teach teachers, train students, and offer ideas to advance U.S. national interests based on a nonpartisan, geopolitical perspective that illuminates contemporary international affairs through the lens of history, geography, and culture.”
So here we have two attempts to censor information, both appearing to come from think tanks and several government officials as advisors on “NewsGuard.” Which, if we’re being honest should have a name change to “Propaganda Guard” because they are guarding propaganda by telling everyone it’s real news, like the examples stated above.
You can’t judge sites with a rating of green, orange, blue, gray and red. This isn’t a terror advisory, Tom Ridge (I can only guess the idea came from Ridge). When Ridge was the former secretary of Homeland Security under George Bush, he came up with the coded terror alert system after 9/11.
The system is elementary at best and doesn’t really require any type of thinking to come up with, so who knows who came up with it. But it’s extremely flawed.
Knowing that both “Propaganda Guard” (NewsGuard) and PropOrNot had government involvement should scare the shit out of you because both companies are about as unbiased as The Washington Post was towards Hillary Clinton during the 2016 election.
Both have a stake in the future foreign policy of America; NewsGuard through its former government advisors, and PropOrNot through the more hilariously connected Foreign Policy Research Institute.
Neither company has a right to shape the opinions of Americans or anyone else by giving news websites like Activist Post and many others any type of rating.
That’s up to the readers themselves to decide, not a shadowy firm with “trained analysts” who are creating a censorship blacklist of information or opinions they don’t like… you know, like the ones that hinder corporations or the military industrial complex’s forever war machine.
In fact, it will be interesting to see where this goes if this plugin is adopted by the mainstream as a default into applications. I foresee class action cease and desist lawsuits against “NewsGuard” for intentionally causing harm to businesses with just a checkmark.
This is already pretty well proven with a recent Gallup study that stated 63 percent of news readers were less likely to share a website with a red rating, while a green rating increased the likelihood of sharing by 56 percent.
Although the study was funded by NewsGuard themselves, so the results should be taken with a grain of salt. That study actually could be used to bite them in the ass later.
Did anyone think this through before saying, “oh yeah I want to help destroy the livelihoods of other people?”
My well-thought-out trained analytical expert guess is, “no they probably did not.”
Oh wait, further research into NewsGuard and its other products shows they have a BrandGuard, which they market to advertisers as a “brand safety tool aimed at helping advertisers keep their brands off of unreliable news and information sites while giving them the assurance they need to support thousands of Green-rated [NewsGuard-approved] news and information sites, big and small.”
All of this has an interesting timing, right before the 2020 primaries. Who’s to say that this technology couldn’t be used to sway the election far more than Russia, the UK or Israel ever could?
Especially since the firm is seeking to have its tech implanted by default into every major technical device.
We don’t need arbiters of truth; what we need are smarter readers who research and dig deeper themselves, instead of blindly believing what they are told or hand fed.
With all that stated, it’s worth mentioning that 90% of U.S. media was owned by 6 different companies in 2012 including GE, NewsCorp, Disney, Viacom, TimeWarner, CBS. Which, as a fun fact, the CFR owns the media.
As former Army Major Todd Pierce described, the CFR acts as “primary provocateurs” using “’psychological suggestiveness’ to create a false narrative of danger from some foreign entity with the objective being to create paranoia within the U.S. population that it is under imminent threat of attack or takeover.”
Council on Foreign Relations links to major media holdings Full graphic here: https://t.co/lyMPz4ME2Z pic.twitter.com/mmTNdQa1F9 — Defend Assange Campaign (@DefendAssange) January 28, 2018
So with all that in mind, one finds it hard to believe that a CFR member and government cronies — some even connected to think tanks — want to “restore trust and accountability” in journalism.
This is far from the only effort to try and suppress the free flow of information online. In 2017 Activist Post reported that Full Fact foundation, backed by eBay founder Pierre Omidyar and our favorite billionaire tycoon George Soros, were also planning to fight the efforts of “fake news” with their AI-powered “bull shit detector.”
Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales was also planning to launch a crowd-funded news service called WikiTribune to help combat fake news.
Send your mail to NewsGuard’s Twitter feed and Facebook page, and flood them with your opinion about their efforts. If they ask who sent you, say George Orwell from his grave and make sure to tell them they aren’t the Ministry Of Truth, this isn’t 1984.
Putting the future of what we believe in anyone’s hands, let alone artificial intelligence, seems reckless; but a system backed by Soros and Omidyar or think tanks and government officials seems like a dangerously stupid idea that can only lead to a path paved toward a road of Orwellian censorship the likes of which even George Orwell couldn’t have imagined.

The head of the World Health Organization has suggested that coronavirus restrictions will continue even after a jjab has been made widely available.
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus made the comments on Twitter after news broke of several new jjabs said to be effective in fighting COVID-19 coming closer to fruition.
“Since the beginning of the #COVID19 pandemic, we knew that a jjab would be essential for bringing the pandemic under control. But it’s important to emphasise that a jjab will complement the other tools we have, not replace them,” said Ghebreyesus.

A jjab on its own will not end the #COVID19 pandemic. We will still need to continue:

humansarefree--2020-11-25--How to Celebrate Thanksgiving in the Midst of Toxic Politics and COVID-19 Lockdowns

“ War is over .
If you want it.
” — John Lennon If ever there were a year filled with an abundance of bad news and a shortage of good news , 2020 would take the prize .
Between the toxic political theater , pandemic scares , nationwide lockdowns that smack of martial law , a rollercoaster economy , and the ever-present menace of the police state , it ’ s been a hard , heart-wrenching , stomach-churning kind of year overrun with too much hate and too little tolerance .
It ’ s been a year in which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , freedom got knocked down a few more notches , and politics and profit margins took precedence over decency , compassion and human-kindness .
Now we find ourselves at this present moment , overwhelmed by all that is wrong in the world and missing the fellowship of family and friends kept apart by COVID-19 restrictions and concerns .
No wonder this Thanksgiving finds so many struggling to reflect and give thanks for what is good .
After all , how do you give thanks for freedoms that are constantly being eroded ?
How @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s safety when the perils posed by the American police state grow more treacherous by the day ?
How do you come together as a nation in thanksgiving when the powers-that-be continue to polarize and divide us into warring factions ?
Here ’ s what I ’ ve learned from living in a small community ( population 1500 ) for the past year : you don ’ t have to agree on politics , or subscribe to the same religious beliefs , or have the same demographic makeup in order to live peaceably @ @ @ @ @ @ @ don ’ t have a preponderance of fancy cars or advanced degrees or six-figure salaries or committees aimed at discussing problems to death , and yet they have mastered the art of getting along .
They make no secret about their views on politics and religion and anything else on their minds , and yet they remain friendly — neighborly — respectful of those with opposing views , even when they wholeheartedly disagree .
Yes , America , there is life beyond politics and it can be wonderful if you just give it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I suggest : this Thanksgiving , do yourselves a favor and turn off the talking heads , tune out the politicians , and take a deep breath .
Then try this exercise in gratitude : find something to be thankful for about the things and people in your community for which you might have the least tolerance or appreciation .
Instead of just rattling off a list of things you ’ re thankful for that sound good , dig a little deeper and acknowledge the good in those you may have underappreciated or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ giving thanks for your good fortune , put your gratitude into action : pay your blessings forward with deeds that spread a little kindness , lighten someone ’ s burden , and brighten some dark corner .
Engage in acts of kindness .
Smile more .
Fight less .
Build bridges .
Refuse to let toxic politics define your relationships .
Focus on the things that unite instead of that which divides .
Do your part to push back against the meanness of our culture with conscious compassion and humanity .
Moods are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
They can be passed from person to person .
So can the actions associated with those moods , the good and the bad .
Even with COVID-19 restrictions in place throughout the country , there is still so much good that can be done to help those in need .
Be a hero , whether or not anyone ever notices .
Acts of benevolence , no matter how inconsequential they might seem , can spark a movement .
“ Each of us has an inner hero we can draw upon in an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
“ If you think there is even a possibility that someone needs help , act on it .
You may save a life .
You are the modern version of the Good Samaritan that makes the world a better place for all of us.
” All it takes is one person breaking away from the fold to change the dynamics of a situation .
“ Once any one helps , then in seconds others will join in because a new social norm emerges , ” notes Zimbardo .
This is what Zimbardo @ @ @ @ @ @ @ one.

“War is over. If you want it.” — John Lennon
If ever there were a year filled with an abundance of bad news and a shortage of good news, 2020 would take the prize. Between the toxic political theater, pandemic scares, nationwide lockdowns that smack of martial law, a rollercoaster economy, and the ever-present menace of the police state, it’s been a hard, heart-wrenching, stomach-churning kind of year overrun with too much hate and too little tolerance.
It’s been a year in which tyranny took a few more steps forward, freedom got knocked down a few more notches, and politics and profit margins took precedence over decency, compassion and human-kindness.
Now we find ourselves at this present moment, overwhelmed by all that is wrong in the world and missing the fellowship of family and friends kept apart by COVID-19 restrictions and concerns.
No wonder this Thanksgiving finds so many struggling to reflect and give thanks for what is good. After all, how do you give thanks for freedoms that are constantly being eroded? How do you express gratitude for one’s safety when the perils posed by the American police state grow more treacherous by the day? How do you come together as a nation in thanksgiving when the powers-that-be continue to polarize and divide us into warring factions?
Here’s what I’ve learned from living in a small community (population 1500) for the past year: you don’t have to agree on politics, or subscribe to the same religious beliefs, or have the same demographic makeup in order to live peaceably with one another.
These small-town people don’t have a preponderance of fancy cars or advanced degrees or six-figure salaries or committees aimed at discussing problems to death, and yet they have mastered the art of getting along.
They make no secret about their views on politics and religion and anything else on their minds, and yet they remain friendly — neighborly — respectful of those with opposing views, even when they wholeheartedly disagree.
Yes, America, there is life beyond politics and it can be wonderful if you just give it a chance.
Here’s what I suggest: this Thanksgiving, do yourselves a favor and turn off the talking heads, tune out the politicians, and take a deep breath. Then try this exercise in gratitude: find something to be thankful for about the things and people in your community for which you might have the least tolerance or appreciation.
Instead of just rattling off a list of things you’re thankful for that sound good, dig a little deeper and acknowledge the good in those you may have underappreciated or feared.
When it comes time to giving thanks for your good fortune, put your gratitude into action: pay your blessings forward with deeds that spread a little kindness, lighten someone’s burden, and brighten some dark corner.
Engage in acts of kindness. Smile more. Fight less. Build bridges. Refuse to let toxic politics define your relationships. Focus on the things that unite instead of that which divides.
Do your part to push back against the meanness of our culture with conscious compassion and humanity. Moods are contagious, the good and the bad. They can be passed from person to person. So can the actions associated with those moods, the good and the bad.
Even with COVID-19 restrictions in place throughout the country, there is still so much good that can be done to help those in need.
Be a hero, whether or not anyone ever notices.
Acts of benevolence, no matter how inconsequential they might seem, can spark a movement.
“Each of us has an inner hero we can draw upon in an emergency,” concludes psychologist Philip Zimbardo. “If you think there is even a possibility that someone needs help, act on it. You may save a life. You are the modern version of the Good Samaritan that makes the world a better place for all of us.”
All it takes is one person breaking away from the fold to change the dynamics of a situation. “Once any one helps, then in seconds others will join in because a new social norm emerges,” notes Zimbardo.
This is what Zimbardo refers to as “the power of one.”
“If you find yourself in an ambiguous situation, resist the urge to look to others and go with your gut instinct,” advises Melissa Burkley in Psychology Today. “If you think there is even a possibility that someone is in need, act on it. At worst, you will embarrass yourself for a few minutes, but at best, you will save a life.”
In other words, don’t turn away from suffering. Even smiling at a stranger in these fearful times can be a revolutionary act.
All it takes is one person to start a chain reaction.
For instance, a few years ago in Florida, a family of six — four adults and two young boys — were swept out to sea by a powerful rip current in Panama City Beach. There was no lifeguard on duty. The police were standing by, waiting for a rescue boat. And the few people who had tried to help ended up stranded, as well.
Those on shore grouped together and formed a human chain. What started with five volunteers grew to 15, then 80 people, some of whom couldn’t swim.
One by one, they linked hands and stretched as far as their chain would go. The strongest of the volunteers swam out beyond the chain and began passing the stranded victims of the rip current down the chain.
One by one, they rescued those in trouble and pulled each other in.
There’s a moral here for what needs to happen in this country if we only can band together and prevail against the riptides that threaten to overwhelm us.
As I make clear in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People, there may not be much we can do to avoid the dismal reality of the police state in the long term — not so long as the powers-that-be continue to call the shots and allow profit margins to take precedence over the needs of people — but in the short term, there are things we can all do right now to make this world (or at least our small corners of it) a little bit kinder, a lot less hostile and more just.
It’s never too late to start making things right in the world.

humansarefree--2020-11-25--Bombshell! Roger Stone Claims Bill Gates, Microsoft Designed Software Used by Dominion to Allegedly

Bombshell! Roger Stone Claims Bill Gates, Microsoft Designed Software Used by Dominion to Allegedly Steal Election

In a new video , the illustrious Roger Stone drops a major bombshell about Dominion Voting Systems , alleging he has proof that Microsoft , at the direction of billionaire eugenicist Bill Gates , designed the software used to commit election fraud .
The longtime political veteran who is helping spearhead the “ Stop the Steal ” movement for election integrity in the United States says that Microsoft developed what is known as Election Guard , which is capable of hiding votes , switching votes and altering election outcomes .
Election Guard has “ been used by Dominion , as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Clean Ballot , Election Systems and Hardware , BPro , and Smartmatic , ” Stone claims .
“ In other words , 100 percent of the voting machines and voting systems in this country are using the same software that Dominion has been using to switch votes.
” For the past several weeks , reports about Dominion ’ s vote-counting software altering votes have been flooding social media .
Numerous sworn affidavits contend that administrators have backdoor access to the systems , allowing them to switch votes at will .
Attorney Sidney @ @ @ @ @ @ @ behalf of both President Trump and the American people , says she has in her possession solid proof of this , not to mention the fact that more than 100 Dominion employees have been caught purging their LinkedIn accounts in recent days .
On top of that , Dominion representatives changed their minds at the last minute and decided not to meet with Pennsylvania lawmakers about the allegations , which clearly suggests that they have something to hide .
“ The denial by the mainstream media that there ’ s any evidence whatsoever @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out , debunking the bizarre and nonsensical media claim that there is “ no evidence ” of election malfeasance .
“ The evidence is overwhelming and compelling .
Whether Sidney Powell , a fine attorney who isn ’ t given to making claims she can ’ t back up in court , can bring a case without the cooperation of the Central Intelligence Agency and the FBI to come clean remains to be seen.
” Bill Gates ’ actions are the epitome of treason That Bill Gates is connected to Dominion is really @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” organization paid Black Lives Matter ( BLM ) “ students ” to count ballots in key battleground states .
The so-called “ Campus Vote Project ” recruited what were described as “ young black students ” to flood polling places as poll workers , replacing elderly polling place veterans who were told that it would be too scary to work at them this year due to the Wuhan coronavirus ( Covid-19 ) .
Gates is also behind the mass vaccination campaign that is being rolled out at “ warp speed ” to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
According to Gates , the world will only be able to return back to “ normal ” once everyone is vaccinated with his “ cure.
” The infamous “ Antifa U-Haul ” incident in Louisville , Ky. , has also been linked to Gates , who reportedly funded the shields and other riot gear that was supplied to BLM “ protesters ” following the Breonna Taylor verdict .
They say that where there is smoke , there is also fire .
The same can be said of Bill Gates when it comes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
If evil lurks , Gates is almost certain to be hiding in the shadows .
“ If Trump ’ s team is able to prove that the election was electronically stolen , those caught should be sent to the gallows , ” wrote one Infowars commenter .
“ We are in the middle of an insurrection , ” wrote another .
“ The ball is already rolling .
We are just waiting for the special ops to arrest and detain treasonous scum for military tribunal .
“ This will never even reach @ @ @ @ @ @ @ families .
It will get uglier than hell but then there will be peace and order .
”

by Ethan Huff
Hidden inside Microsoft’s Windows 10 operating system software is a keylogger spyware module that records the keystrokes and voices of users and sends this private data straight to the mother ship.
Another creepy “feature” of a software platform that was originally designed by billionaire eugenicist Billy Boy, the Windows 10 keylogger add-on was supposedly “intended for testing, not day-to-day use.”
And yet the latter is what it became, though most users have no idea that it exists.
Microsoft reluctantly admitted when pressed that “we may collect voice information” and “typed characters” from users without their knowledge or expressed consent.
We now know that the Washington-based corporation is doing precisely that.
“I said that ‘I seriously doubt that the worst spyware features will remain in the finished product,’” wrote PC World contributing editor Lincoln Spector. “I was wrong.”
The Windows 10 “speech, inking, typing, and privacy FAQ” section admits that when a user interacts with a Windows device by “speaking, writing (handwriting), or typing, Microsoft collects speech, inking, and typing information – including information about your Calendar and People (also known as contacts) …”
Microsoft’s Privacy Statement reiterates this, though it contains all sorts of other information in the form of 17,000 words that requires some extra time and effort to fully peruse.
Microsoft is guilty of committing treason with communist China
The good news is that the Windows 10 keylogging function can be disabled, or so it would appear.
Clicking Settings on the Start menu’s left pane, followed by clicking the Privacy button, a Windows 10 user will find a selection box to turn it off – all the way at the bottom, of course.
“Once in Privacy, go to the General section and Turn off Send Microsoft info about how I write to help us improve typing and writing in the future,” Spector explains.
“While you’re there, examine the other options and consider if there’s anything else here that you may want to change.”
To stop Windows 10 from collecting your speech, you must also go to the Speech, inking and typing section and click Stop getting to know me.
This same area contains options for restricting Microsoft from collecting data from your camera, microphone, contacts and calendar.
“I wish I had that capability in Android,” Spector notes, suggesting that smartphones are prone to similar spying without the option to disable it.
It is important to note that Microsoft is a close ally of communist China, having worked with Huawei, the communist Chinese corporation that President Donald Trump banned from the United States through an executive order.
As we reported, Huawei works closely with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to spy on people through technology and artificial intelligence (AI).
The company is also under investigation, or was, for its participation in the Iran nuclear arms agreement.
Microsoft temporarily ceased its partnership with Huawei after Trump’s executive order was signed, however the company later decided to continue selling its existing inventory of Huawei laptop computers at Microsoft stores.
The official Microsoft website proclaims with pride that the company deeply values its partnership with communist China and various communist Chinese corporations.
“Today, our most complete subsidiary and largest R&D center outside the United States is in China,” the website explains. “Microsoft boasts a robust partner ecosystem with 17,000 partners. For every RMB that Microsoft earns in China, Microsoft partners earn 16.”

Microsoft has also boasted that it is one of the major corporations responsible for “remaking the Chinese economy.”
Meanwhile, Microsoft is quietly implementing spying technologies like this that would make even the most radical Chinese communist blush with envy.

The error was from a faulty upload from Greenlee County, which showed 22,110 votes — but should have been 3,723. State officials say that it was temporary and has now been corrected.
A data analyst for ABC 15, Garrett Archer, tweeted about the error before trying to downplay it by saying it “happens from time to time.”

humansarefree--2020-11-25--Ex-Chief Science Officer at Pfizer: There is No ‘Second Wave’ … the ‘Pandemic’ is Over

It ’ s time to get back to normal life , America .
But wait , what about the pandemic ?
There isn ’ t one , says Dr. Michael Yeadon – you are all being fooled .
A new interview with this former chief science officer at Pfizer , which was pulled from YouTube within two hours , reveals that the so-called “ second wave ” of the Wuhan coronavirus ( Covid-19 ) is completely nonexistent .
Despite the false claims being made by the lying mainstream media , people are not dying in the streets from the novel @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ catching ” it anymore .
It ’ s a thing of the past , meaning it is time to move on and forget this ever happened .
According to Dr. Yeadon , “ there is no science to suggest a second wave should happen.
” Covid-19 tests are junk science , he says , and the whole idea of “ new cases ” multiplying exponential is utter bunk .
The only thing that is actually happening is that the media and phony public health authorities like Anthony Fauci are manufacturing a crisis @ @ @ @ @ @ @ keep people locked down and wearing masks until a magical vaccine appears to make it all go away .
“ Almost all ” of the tests for Covid-19 are producing false positives , Dr. Yeadon warns .
Not only that , but the threshold for herd immunity is significantly lower than the experts claim , meaning it has probably already been reached .
“ We are basing a government policy , an economic policy , a civil liberties policy , in terms of limiting people to six people in a meeting … all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fake data on this coronavirus , ” Dr. Yeadon was asked , to which he answered with a simple : Fake Covid-19 tests are the only reason there is still a “ pandemic ” As for the alleged “ pandemic , ” Dr. Yeadon says it is “ fundamentally over , ” citing the “ shape ” of all important factors ranging from hospitalizations , ICU utilization and deaths .
“ Were it not for the test data that you get from the TV all the time , you would rightly conclude that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ much has happened , ” Dr. Yeadon maintains .
“ Of course people go to the hospital , moving into the autumn flu season … but there is no science to suggest a second wave should happen.
” Along with some of his colleagues , Dr. Yeadon published a study entitled , “ How Likely is a Second Wave ?
” that found the “ curve ” was “ flattened ” around the end of June .
It has remained flat ever since .
The only thing increasing are “ cases , ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” has no definition other than a positive test result , the vast majority – if not all – of which are fake and fraudulent .
What this means is that the “ pandemic ” only exists in the minds of the mentally ill who insist upon forcing society to remain permanently masked and on lockdown for the rest of eternity , a dystopian nightmare that will only end when once rational people who believe science decide that enough is enough .
Because there are many other coronaviruses already in circulation that people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they likely already possess natural immunity to this one which , despite being “ novel , ” is really no big deal when you really take an honest look at the facts and data .
“ It is now established that at least 30 % of our population already had immunological recognition of this new virus before it even arrived , ” Dr. Yeadon and his colleagues note in their paper .
“ COVID-19 is new , but coronaviruses are not .
”

It’s time to get back to normal life, America. But wait, what about the pandemic? There isn’t one, says Dr. Michael Yeadon – you are all being fooled.
A new interview with this former chief science officer at Pfizer, which was pulled from YouTube within two hours, reveals that the so-called “second wave” of the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) is completely nonexistent.

The only thing that is actually happening is that the media and phony public health authorities like Anthony Fauci are manufacturing a crisis that does not exist in order to keep people locked down and wearing masks until a magical jjab appears to make it all go away.
“Almost all” of the tests for Covid-19 are producing false positives, Dr. Yeadon warns. Not only that, but the threshold for herd immunity is significantly lower than the experts claim, meaning it has probably already been reached.
“We are basing a government policy, an economic policy, a civil liberties policy, in terms of limiting people to six people in a meeting … all based on what may well be completely fake data on this coronavirus,” Dr. Yeadon was asked, to which he answered with a simple:
“Yes.”
Fake Covid-19 tests are the only reason there is still a “pandemic”
As for the alleged “pandemic,” Dr. Yeadon says it is “fundamentally over,” citing the “shape” of all important factors ranging from hospitalizations, ICU utilization and deaths.
“Were it not for the test data that you get from the TV all the time, you would rightly conclude that the pandemic was over, as nothing much has happened,” Dr. Yeadon maintains.
“Of course people go to the hospital, moving into the autumn flu season … but there is no science to suggest a second wave should happen.”
Along with some of his colleagues, Dr. Yeadon published a study entitled, “How Likely is a Second Wave?” that found the “curve” was “flattened” around the end of June. It has remained flat ever since.
The only thing increasing are “cases,” which means nothing since a “case” has no definition other than a positive test result, the vast majority – if not all – of which are fake and fraudulent.
What this means is that the “pandemic” only exists in the minds of the mentally ill who insist upon forcing society to remain permanently masked and on lockdown for the rest of eternity, a dystopian nightmare that will only end when once rational people who believe science decide that enough is enough.
Because there are many other coronaviruses already in circulation that people are exposed to all the time, they likely already possess natural immunity to this one which, despite being “novel,” is really no big deal when you really take an honest look at the facts and data.
“It is now established that at least 30% of our population already had immunological recognition of this new virus before it even arrived,” Dr. Yeadon and his colleagues note in their paper. “COVID-19 is new, but coronaviruses are not.”

humansarefree--2020-11-25--Robert Epstein: Google Shifted a ‘Minimum’ of 6 Million Votes in 2020

Psychologist and search engine expert Dr. Robert Epstein appeared on Fox News ’ Tucker Carlson Tonight yesterday to reveal his findings on Google ’ s search manipulation in the 2020 election , which Epstein claims could have shifted a minimum of six million votes in one direction .
“ First of all , we had 733 field agents in three key swing states this year : Arizona , North Carolina , and Florida , and we preserved more than 500,000 ephemeral experiences… That ’ s about 30 times more data than we got in 2016 , ” said Epstein .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ in favor of liberals and Democrats .
This was not true on Bing or Yahoo .
The bias was being shown to pretty much every demographic group we looked at , including conservatives… .
“ Conservatives got slightly more bias in their search results than liberals did .
How do you account for that ?
” “ We also found what seems to be a smoking gun .
That is , we found a period of days when the vote reminder on Google ’ s homepage was being sent only to liberals — @ @ @ @ @ @ @ received a vote reminder during those days.
” Epstein says that Google “ backed off ” after he went public with his findings .
“ They literally shut off that manipulation that night , and so for four days before the election they were showing vote reminders to everyone , finally.
” “ The bottom line at the moment is that these manipulations , the ones that we ’ ve so far quantified , could easily have shifted at least six million votes in just one direction .
“ That ’ s the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I ’ m confident .
The maximum we haven ’ t even begun to estimate that yet because we have so much data to look at .

As if 2020 couldn ’ t get any more bizarre , a mysterious Space Odyssey-style metal monolith has been discovered in a remote area of the Utah desert .
While state workers were counting bighorn sheep from a helicopter , they spotted something out of place – a 12 feet tall metal monolith that had been installed in a secluded area of rock .
The Utah Department of Public Safety said the object was found in a “ very remote ” area of the desert , deliberately withholding its location to prevent people from attempting to visit .
“ It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ without authorization on federally managed public lands , no matter what planet you ’ re from , ” said the department ’ s statement .
“ That ’ s been about the strangest thing that I ’ ve come across out there in all my years of flying , ” helicopter pilot Bret Hutchings told Salt Lake City broadcaster KSL-TV .
“ One of the biologists is the one who spotted it and we just happened to fly directly over the top of it , ” Hutchings added .
“ He was like @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , turn around , turn around !

’ And he ’ s like , ‘ There ’ s this thing back there — we ’ ve got to go look at it !
’ We were thinking , is this something NASA stuck up there or something ?
Are they bouncing satellites off it ?

Many US states and countries around the world are imposing another round of economic lockdowns in an effort to combat the coronavirus.
The actions are certain to come with a series of devastating unintended consequences — economic destruction, surging poverty, and mental health deterioration among them — but a new study suggests the lockdowns may not do what they are designed to do: save lives.
A new study published by Frontiers in Public Health concluded that neither lockdowns nor lockdown stringency were correlated with lower death rates.
Researchers analyzed data from 160 countries over the first 8 months of the pandemic, testing several factors — including demographics, public health, economy, politics, and environment — to determine how they are correlated with COVID-19 mortality.
“Stringency of the measures settled to fight pandemia, including lockdown, did not appear to be linked with death rate,” the researchers said.
Ultimate Proof: Covid-19 Was Planned To Usher In The New World Order
The researchers found that the criteria most associated with a high death rate was life expectancy, though higher COVID death rates were also observed in certain geographic regions.
“Inherent factors have predetermined the COVID mortality: understanding them may improve prevention strategies by increasing population resilience through better physical fitness and immunity,” the authors said.
On one hand, the findings are astonishing. After all, the lockdowns have resulted in mass collateral damage: a global recession, millions of businesses ravaged, tens of millions of jobs lost, widespread mental health deterioration, a resurgence in global poverty, and surges in suicide.
To look at the destruction lockdowns have wrought only to learn they have failed to effectively slow the spread of the virus is maddening and, frankly, nauseating.
On the other hand, the findings shouldn’t be terribly surprising. Months ago researchers had compiled enough empirical evidence to determine how effective lockdowns were in taming COVID-19.
“…there’s little correlation between the severity of a nation’s restrictions and whether it managed to curb excess fatalities — a measure that looks at the overall number of deaths compared with normal trends,” Bloomberg’s data columnist Elaine He noted back in May.
Since then the evidence has only grown stronger. Sweden, for example, which opted to not lockdown in March, has seen its mortality ranking steadily fall throughout 2020.
In September, as it passed the US, Sweden saw its COVID mortality rate fall to 11th highest in the world.

“Lockdowns just have one consequence that you must never ever belittle, and that is making poor people an awful lot poorer,” Dr. David Nabarro, the WHO’s Special Envoy on COVID-19, observed.
Dr. Michael Ryan, Director of the WHO’s Health Emergencies Programme, offered a similar sentiment.
“What we want to try to avoid … is these massive lockdowns that are so punishing to communities, to society and to everything else,” Ryan said at a briefing in Geneva in October, adding that sometimes they are “unavoidable.”
Despite mounting evidence that lockdowns don’t work and are incredibly harmful, government officials around the world continue to push them. Why? Because lockdowns are designed to save lives and experts are unwilling to admit they are powerless to control the virus.
