A massive network of George Soros-funded activists are plotting nationwide anarchy from Election Day onward if President Trump wins .
The far-left coalition claims it is seeking to “ prevent a constitutional crisis ” should Trump-Pence beat the Harris-Biden ticket .
Activists are training , organizing , and planning to mobilize millions of Americans in preparation for a situation where President Trump would “ contest the election results , ” refuse to concede , or claim an early victory .
The coalition is calling itself “ Protect the Results ” ( PTR ) and it ’ s made up of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
PTR proclaims that “ we can not ignore the threat that Trump poses to our democracy and a peaceful transition of power.
” The coalition is a joint project of two left-wing groups – Indivisible and Stand Up America – who were founded in response to Trump ’ s 2016 election win and whose goals are “ to organize and resist Trump ’ s dangerous agenda ” and “ to defeat Trump and his enablers.
” Seeking to “ protect ” election results by using its millions of members , the coalition @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and “ prepare for a potential post-election crisis.
” DA ’ s large body of donors aggregates resources for “ focused investment , ” marshalling as much as $ 80 million per year .
In 2017 , DA developed a “ resistance map ” — a mix of anti-Trump groups it recommends its members donate to , many of which are now part of Protect the Results .
Other Soros-funded coalition groups include MoveOn , Women ’ s March , the Working Families Party and the Center for Popular Democracy , a network @ @ @ @ @ @ @ states , among many others .
Having likened President Trump to a dictator , left-wing billionaire George Soros declared in a recent interview that Trump is dangerous , is “ fighting ” for his political life , and will do “ anything to remain in power.
” Given his harsh depiction of Trump , it is hardly surprising that Soros-backed groups are leading the so-called “ resistance ” post-Election Day .
Heads of the DA coalition “ resistance ” groups have been quite vocal in recent days about their intentions to put up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump wants to ignore the will of the people and fight over election results , it ’ s a fight he ’ ll get , ” said Nelini Stamp , Director of Strategy and Partnerships at the Working Families Party .

“ We will mobilize to safeguard Black people from the chaos and pain that will inevitably ensue should Trump choose to disregard reality in November.
” Coalition group heads have described the battle against Trump ’ s re-election as predicated on the unfounded notion that the president has been tirelessly working to undermine the upcoming elections .
“ He ’ s [ Trump ] laying the groundwork now to steal the election ; we need to lay the groundwork now to fight back , ” said Sarah @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at Indivisible .
“ Trump is already laying the groundwork by declaring the result rigged , so we are sounding the alarm now , ” said Sean Eldridge , president of Stand Up America and co-founder of Protect the Results .

Not only is Trump accused of undermining the upcoming elections , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is denied as well as he is accused of rigging the previous election , as noted in a recent tweet from one of Indivisible ’ s accounts .

Activists are training, organizing, and planning to mobilize millions of Americans in preparation for a situation where President Trump would “contest the election results,” refuse to concede, or claim an early victory.
The coalition is calling itself “Protect the Results” (PTR) and it’s made up of over 80 advocacy groups and grassroots organizations.
PTR proclaims that “we cannot ignore the threat that Trump poses to our democracy and a peaceful transition of power.”
The coalition is a joint project of two left-wing groups – Indivisible and Stand Up America – who were founded in response to Trump’s 2016 election win and whose goals are “to organize and resist Trump’s dangerous agenda” and “to defeat Trump and his enablers.”
Seeking to “protect” election results by using its millions of members, the coalition calls to “take coordinated action” and “prepare for a potential post-election crisis.”
“Be prepared,” warns a video on its homepage.

Breitbart.com reports: Both founding groups of the coalition (Indivisible and Stand up America) are part of the Soros-funded Democracy Alliance (DA), the largest network of donors dedicated to building the progressive movement in the U.S.
DA’s large body of donors aggregates resources for “focused investment,” marshalling as much as $80 million per year.
In 2017, DA developed a “resistance map” — a mix of anti-Trump groups it recommends its members donate to, many of which are now part of Protect the Results.
Other Soros-funded coalition groups include MoveOn, Women’s March, the Working Families Party and the Center for Popular Democracy, a network with over 50 local partners in 32 states, among many others.
Having likened President Trump to a dictator, left-wing billionaire George Soros declared in a recent interview that Trump is dangerous, is “fighting” for his political life, and will do “anything to remain in power.”
Given his harsh depiction of Trump, it is hardly surprising that Soros-backed groups are leading the so-called “resistance” post-Election Day.
Heads of the DA coalition “resistance” groups have been quite vocal in recent days about their intentions to put up a fight this November.
“If Trump wants to ignore the will of the people and fight over election results, it’s a fight he’ll get,” said Nelini Stamp, Director of Strategy and Partnerships at the Working Families Party.
“Will we be successful? We’re going to fight like hell to make sure we are,” said Rahna Epting, executive director of MoveOn, another Soros-funded group that joined the coalition.
“Our resistance is key in protecting the outcome of this election,” said Arisha Michelle Hatch, Executive Director of Color Of Change PAC. “We will mobilize to safeguard Black people from the chaos and pain that will inevitably ensue should Trump choose to disregard reality in November.”
Coalition group heads have described the battle against Trump’s re-election as predicated on the unfounded notion that the president has been tirelessly working to undermine the upcoming elections.
“He’s [Trump] laying the groundwork now to steal the election; we need to lay the groundwork now to fight back,” said Sarah Dohl, co-founder and chief communications officer at Indivisible.
“Trump is already laying the groundwork by declaring the result rigged, so we are sounding the alarm now,” said Sean Eldridge, president of Stand Up America and co-founder of Protect the Results.
Claiming that, for years, “Trump has sought to undermine our elections again and again,” Elridge stated, “We would mobilize, take to the streets, put pressure on state and local election officials [to make clear that] the U.S. people are not going to let Donald Trump steal this election.”
Ryan Thomas, a senior spokesperson for Stand Up America, told Newsweek that “Trump poses an existential threat to our democracy and is already working to undermine the election.”
“Donald Trump is not running a re-election campaign. He’s running a power grab,” said Ben Wessel, executive director of NextGen America, a coalition group funded by billionaire Tom Steyer — the failed Democratic presidential candidate and major donor to DA.
Not only is Trump accused of undermining the upcoming elections, but his current legitimate status as president is denied as well as he is accused of rigging the previous election, as noted in a recent tweet from one of Indivisible’s accounts.
“Donald Trump only won the 2016 election by cheating,” the tweet reads. “That’s the only way he’ll win this one, too […]”

With a Trump-must-go-no-matter-what attitude, the idea of a legitimate Trump win is all but impossible.
“When we win in November,” says Indivisible’s IE Political Director Lucy Solomon in a video describing the group’s preparations, they intend to ensure that “Trump isn’t able to steal this election in the days afterwards.”
“On November 3rd. After you vote, get in the streets! Donald Trump must go and we must make it happen!” reads a post tweeted in August by the far-left ShutDownDC, an “organizing space” partnering with Protect the Results which plans to “rise up to confront the Trump administration’s attacks on democracy” and offers training sessions for coalition members to prepare to take “direct action.”
Additionally, several prominent figures have expressed fears of Trump seizing power if the elections resulted in a loss for him, claiming that he is already prepping the ground for a de facto coup.
The baseless notion is increasingly promoted by those opposed to Trump.
Amplifying the groundless notion even further, an article by the Nation last week titled, “Is Trump Planning a Coup d’État?” was widely circulated among leaders of groups from Protect the Results in order to encourage individuals to join their effort.
Ezra Levin, co-founder of Indivisible, tweeted:

The article states that what the Protect the Results leadership is planning “isn’t a run-of-the-mill protest” but rather “a national campaign capable of bringing millions of people into the streets,” potentially for months.
They are going to have to develop a durable movement that could operate like the democracy movement in Hong Kong or the movements that peacefully brought down Communist rule in Eastern Europe a generation ago.
Protect the Results has partnered with the secretive Fight Back Table (FBT), an initiative launched after the 2016 election to form a constellation of leftist organizations working more closely together.
FBT and leaders from Protect the Results reportedly discussed their plans in secret during a Zoom virtual meeting last week, with the Daily Beast reporting how they discussed standing up to a multi-state communications arm as well as training for civil disobedience and mass public disorder.
The alliance is pushing the Democrat assumption that election results will be illegitimate absent a huge Biden victory.
Leading Democratic figures have followed suit, laying the ground for chaos and mass unrest.
Former First Lady Hillary Clinton urged Biden not to concede the election “under any circumstances,” while the Democratic presidential candidate said he is confident that Trump is “going to try to steal this election.”
With a well-funded coalition of anti-Trump groups prepping the battlefield for post-election anarchy, such statements are hardly trivial.

Barack Obama demanded that Republicans refrain from voting on a replacement for Ruth Bader Ginsberg until after the election , when he hopes Biden will win .
In a statement issued late Friday night , Obama cited his failed 2016 nomination of Judge Merrick Garland to back up his enthusiastic support for Ginsburg ’ s reported dying “ instructions ” that her replacement be nominated by a new president ( “ My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed.

Over a long career on both sides of the bench — as a relentless litigator and an incisive jurist — Justice Ginsburg helped us see that discrimination on the basis of sex isn ’ t about an abstract ideal of equality ; that it doesn ’ t only harm women ; that it has real consequences for all of us .

Sixty years ago, Ruth Bader Ginsburg applied to be a Supreme Court clerk. She’d studied at two of our finest law schools and had ringing recommendations. But because she was a woman, she was rejected. Ten years later, she sent her first brief to the Supreme Court — which led it to strike down a state law based on gender discrimination for the first time. And then, for nearly three decades, as the second woman ever to sit on the highest court in the land, she was a warrior for gender equality — someone who believed that equal justice under law only had meaning if it applied to every single American.
Over a long career on both sides of the bench — as a relentless litigator and an incisive jurist — Justice Ginsburg helped us see that discrimination on the basis of sex isn’t about an abstract ideal of equality; that it doesn’t only harm women; that it has real consequences for all of us. It’s about who we are — and who we can be.
Justice Ginsburg inspired the generations who followed her, from the tiniest trick-or-treaters to law students burning the midnight oil to the most powerful leaders in the land. Michelle and I admired her greatly, we’re profoundly thankful for the legacy she left this country, and we offer our gratitude and our condolences to her children and grandchildren tonight.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg fought to the end, through her cancer, with unwavering faith in our democracy and its ideals. That’s how we remember her. But she also left instructions for how she wanted her legacy to be honored.
Four and a half years ago, when Republicans refused to hold a hearing or an up-or-down vote on Merrick Garland, they invented the principle that the Senate shouldn’t fill an open seat on the Supreme Court before a new president was sworn in.
A basic principle of the law — and of everyday fairness — is that we apply rules with consistency, and not based on what’s convenient or advantageous in the moment. The rule of law, the legitimacy of our courts, the fundamental workings of our democracy all depend on that basic principle. As votes are already being cast in this election, Republican Senators are now called to apply that standard. The questions before the Court now and in the coming years — with decisions that will determine whether or not our economy is fair, our society is just, women are treated equally, our planet survives, and our democracy endures — are too consequential to future generations for courts to be filled through anything less than an unimpeachable process.

newspunch--2020-09-21--Agent Who Uncovered Weiner Laptop With Hillary’s Emails Says FBI Told Him to Erase Everything

The FBI agent who uncovered incriminating messages that led to the Hillary Clinton email investigation being reopened days before the 2016 election claims senior officials at the bureau instructed him to erase his findings .
John Robertson feared he would be made a ‘ scapegoat ’ when he found the bombshell emails less than two months the 2016 election , amid the ongoing scandal that Anthony Weiner , whose wife Huma Abedin was Clinton ’ s top aide , was sending sexual images to a minor .
Robertson watched in horror as the FBI ignored his evidence for a month @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with the US Attorney ’ s office overseeing the case .
Bosses at the FBI ordered him to erase his office computer , which meant erasing the record of his investigations , a new book claims .
The claims add another layer of intrigue to the investigation of Clinton ’ s emails which has become one of the most divisive episodes of the 2016 election .
They appear in October Surprise : How the FBI Tried to Save Itself and Crashed an Election , which will be published on September 22 by PublicAffairs @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Justice Department correspondent Devlin Barrett , is said to be a ‘ comprehensive , revealing and dramatic look inside the bureau ’ s role in the 2016 presidential election ’ .
Central to the account is the investigation into Clinton ’ s use of a private email server while she was Secretary of State which dogged her campaign and led to an investigation by the department ’ s Inspector General .
The inquiry was handed over to the FBI and former director James Comey closed it with no criminal charges on July 5 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ her staff for being ‘ extremely careless ’ But he reopened it on October 28 , more than a month after DailyMail.com revealed Weiner ’ s sexts with a high school girl .
The FBI seized Weiner ’ s computer and the agent who was tasked with going through it was Robertson – who found yet more Clinton emails .
Comey closed the investigation for a second time on November 6th but by then , Democrats argue , the FBI had handed the election to Donald Trump .
October Surprise reveals Robertson ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in September after he found around 600,000 emails from Abedin including many that were to or from Clinton .
They were on Weiner ’ s laptop , which he examined in his office at the FBI New York office ’ s C-20 unit , which is tasked with investigating sex crimes against children .
But he couldn ’ t examine the messages , even to determine how many were Clinton ’ s , because the subpoena that was used to seize Weiner ’ s laptop was too narrow and did not allow it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bosses about his discovery , but after that he heard nothing .
He later told internal investigators : ‘ The crickets I was hearing was really making me uncomfortable because something was going to come down .
‘ Why isn ’ t anybody here ?
Like if I ’ m the supervisor of any ( counterintelligence ) squad … and I hear about this , I ’ m getting on with headquarters and saying ” hey some agent working child porn here may have ( Hillary Clinton ) emails .
Get your a** @ @ @ @ @ @ @ case agent ) and get a copy of that drive , ” because that ’ s how it should be .
‘ And that nobody reached out to me within , like , that night , I still to this day don ’ t understand what the hell went wrong ’ .
Robertson hoped the prosecutors in the Weiner case – Amanda Kramer and Stephanie Lake at the office of the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York – could help him .
He hoped their bosses could ‘ kick some @ @ @ @ @ @ @ butt and get them moving ’ , the book says .
On October 19 he visited Kramer and told her he was ‘ a little scared ’ Robertson worried that Comey ’ s testimony to Congress in July and September that the FBI had just 30,000 emails was now out of date .
Robertson said : ‘ I don ’ t care who wins this election , but this is going to make us look really , really horrible ’ .
October Surprise says : ‘ He had told his bosses about the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ happened .
‘ Or rather , the only thing that had happened was his boss had instructed Robertson to erase his computer work station .
‘ Ostensibly , that was to ensure there was no classified material on it .
But it also meant there was no record of what Robertson had done , or had not done , with the laptop information .
He was starting to feel like he was going to be made a scapegoat , and he was freaking out .
He had already talked to a lawyer ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ whistleblower but he chafed at the idea .
The next day Robertson decided to write a ‘ Letter To Self ’ , which he emailed to himself , knowing that if a future investigation were carried out then the email would be found .
He wrote : ‘ I have very deep misgivings about the institutional response of the FBI to the congressional investigation into the Hillary Clinton email matter .
‘ However , I am not an institutional representative of the FBI .
I do not have the authority ( or competence @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of this nature .
‘ Put simply : I don ’ t believe the handling of the material I have by the FBI is ethically or morally right ’ .
Robertson said that notifying his bosses and leaving it at that , as his lawyer advised , was all about ‘ CYA ’ , by which he meant ‘ covering your a** ’ .
That same day Kramer raised the matter with her boss who involved Preet Bharara , who was then the US Attorney for her district .
He spoke with Deputy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and on October 27 , a meeting of top FBI officials was organized for Comey .
October Surprise does not say if Bharara ’ s actions led to the meeting , or if the FBI finally took note of Robertson ’ s comments .
During the meeting , Comey asked his then deputy Andrew McCabe to excuse himself from the call due to the scandal over donations given to his wife during her failed run for political office .
Comey told McCabe : ‘ I don ’ t need you on this call @ @ @ @ @ @ @ up .
Comey and his aides agreed they needed a search warrant to look at the emails on Weiner ’ s laptop , which the FBI obtained .
On October 28th – 11 days before the election – Comey told Congress what he had done and sparked a firestorm at the end of a bitterly fought Presidential campaign .
On November 6th – two days before the election – Comey closed the case again when they had been through all the emails and determined that none were new or relevant .
Robertson writes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that something was being done but as October Surprise makes clear , a Pandora ’ s Box had been opened .
Comey was fired by Trump in May 2017 and in his memoir he claims it was because he refused to pledge his loyalty to the President .
He later admitted his language when referring to Clinton was a ‘ mistake ’ .
A highly critical report by the FBI Inspector General found Comey set a ‘ dangerous example for the over 35,000 current FBI employees ’ in his handling of the Clinton @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for leaking his private memos of his encounters with Trump to the New York Times and said his colleagues still at the FBI were ‘ shocked ’ by this .
Trump has repeatedly torn into Comey and claimed it was ‘ illegal ’ to leak classified information in one of many tweets attacking him .
Special Counsel Robert Mueller investigated whether Trump obstructed justice with his firing of Comey and concluded that he could not exonerate the President , though he did not recommend criminal charges .

A highly critical report by the FBI Inspector General found Comey set a ‘dangerous example for the over 35,000 current FBI employees’ in his handling of the Clinton email case.
The report criticized Comey for leaking his private memos of his encounters with Trump to the New York Times and said his colleagues still at the FBI were ‘shocked’ by this.
Trump has repeatedly torn into Comey and claimed it was ‘illegal’ to leak classified information in one of many tweets attacking him.
Special Counsel Robert Mueller investigated whether Trump obstructed justice with his firing of Comey and concluded that he could not exonerate the President, though he did not recommend criminal charges.

newspunch--2020-09-21--Hungarian PM Says Schools Must Protect Children from ‘Gender Ideology & Rainbow Propaganda’

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has slammed liberal ideology saying that conservatives must defend school children from destructive leftist propaganda .
In a written address , Orbán argued that there were “ irreconcilable differences in education policy ” between liberals and conservatives and said that conservatives focus on helping children “ to be capable of becoming patriots who can carry forward our tried and tested traditions.
” Breitbart reports : The prime minister reserved some of his most pointed language for resisting the left ’ s push for gender theory in schools .
Christian democrats “ expect schools to reinforce @ @ @ @ @ @ @ conferred on each child at birth , ” he said , “ to help girls become fine and admirable women ; and to help boys become men who are able to provide security and support for their families.
” “ Schools should protect the ideal and values of the family , and should keep minors away from gender ideology and rainbow propaganda , ” he added , while admitting that his words will seem shocking to the modern liberal mindset .
“ Liberals see this as medieval backwardness at best , and as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said .
“ In their view the purpose of school education can only be to lead children towards their inner selves , making them capable of self-realisation , introducing them to the beauties of the universal political order , and therefore peeling away from them the enveloping layers of tradition inherited from the lives of their great-grandparents , grandparents and parents.
” Central to the liberal , enlightenment project is an abandonment of Christian morality and anthropology based on the biblical understanding of the human person , Orbán suggested .
Liberals believe that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ morally grounded governance is general , universal reason , and there is no need whatsoever for absolute values revealed by God , and the religious and biblical traditions that have grown out of these , ” he stated .
“ In fact , they say , a dividing wall must be built between church and government , and the influence of religion must be banished from the public sphere , ” he said .
Given their relative isolation and their overtly Christian national constitution , Hungarians “ know little of the breadth , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which extends across the whole of Western civilisation.
” The unyielding and insightful basic principle in our national-Christian Constitution , he said , is that “ the state and church function on distinct parallel paths.
” “ Whilst preserving the autonomy of church and state , this seeks to replace separation with the integration of religion into the life of society , maintaining a spirit of tolerance for religious views , ” he said .
Christian democrats believe that in order to strengthen justice , public morals , and the common good , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ traditions and our churches is greater today than it has been for centuries , ” he said .
