⁃ TN Editor The study was performed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who is the Assistant Director of the MS program in Applied Economics at Johns Hopkins .
As an economist looking at readily available data , her analysis is indisputable .
According to new data , the U.S. currently ranks first in total COVID-19 cases , new cases per day and deaths .
Genevieve Briand , assistant program director of the Applied Economics master ’ s degree program at Hopkins , critically analyzed the effect of COVID-19 on U.S. deaths using data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ( CDC ) in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ A Look at U.S. Data.
” From mid-March to mid-September , U.S. total deaths have reached 1.7 million , of which 200,000 , or 12 % of total deaths , are COVID-19-related .
Instead of looking directly at COVID-19 deaths , Briand focused on total deaths per age group and per cause of death in the U.S. and used this information to shed light on the effects of COVID-19 .
She explained that the significance of COVID-19 on U.S. deaths can be fully understood only through comparison to the number of total deaths @ @ @ @ @ @ @ data on the CDC website , Briand compiled a graph representing percentages of total deaths per age category from early February to early September , which includes the period from before COVID-19 was detected in the U.S. to after infection rates soared .
Surprisingly , the deaths of older people stayed the same before and after COVID-19 .
Since COVID-19 mainly affects the elderly , experts expected an increase in the percentage of deaths in older age groups .
However , this increase is not seen from the CDC data .
In fact @ @ @ @ @ @ @ age groups remain relatively the same .
“ The reason we have a higher number of reported COVID-19 deaths among older individuals than younger individuals is simply because every day in the U.S. older individuals die in higher numbers than younger individuals , ” Briand said .
Briand also noted that 50,000 to 70,000 deaths are seen both before and after COVID-19 , indicating that this number of deaths was normal long before COVID-19 emerged .
Therefore , according to Briand , not only has COVID-19 had no effect on the percentage of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has also not increased the total number of deaths .
These data analyses suggest that in contrast to most people ’ s assumptions , the number of deaths by COVID-19 is not alarming .
In fact , it has relatively no effect on deaths in the United States .
This comes as a shock to many people .
How is it that the data lie so far from our perception ?
To answer that question , Briand shifted her focus to the deaths per causes ranging from 2014 to 2020 .
There is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ due to COVID-19 .
This is no surprise because COVID-19 emerged in the U.S. in early 2020 , and thus COVID-19-related deaths increased drastically afterward .
Analysis of deaths per cause in 2018 revealed that the pattern of seasonal increase in the total number of deaths is a result of the rise in deaths by all causes , with the top three being heart disease , respiratory diseases , influenza and pneumonia .
“ This is true every year .
Every year in the U.S. when we observe the seasonal ups and downs @ @ @ @ @ @ @ due to all causes , ” Briand pointed out .
When Briand looked at the 2020 data during that seasonal period , COVID-19-related deaths exceeded deaths from heart diseases .
This was highly unusual since heart disease has always prevailed as the leading cause of deaths .
However , when taking a closer look at the death numbers , she noted something strange .
As Briand compared the number of deaths per cause during that period in 2020 to 2018 , she noticed that instead of the expected drastic increase across all causes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ deaths due to heart disease .
Even more surprising , as seen in the graph below , this sudden decline in deaths is observed for all other causes .
This trend is completely contrary to the pattern observed in all previous years .
Interestingly , as depicted in the table below , the total decrease in deaths by other causes almost exactly equals the increase in deaths by COVID-19 .
This suggests , according to Briand , that the COVID-19 death toll is misleading .
Briand believes that deaths due to heart diseases @ @ @ @ @ @ @ may instead be recategorized as being due to COVID-19 .
The CDC classified all deaths that are related to COVID-19 simply as COVID-19 deaths .
Even patients dying from other underlying diseases but are infected with COVID-19 count as COVID-19 deaths .
This is likely the main explanation as to why COVID-19 deaths drastically increased while deaths by all other diseases experienced a significant decrease .
“ All of this points to no evidence that COVID-19 created any excess deaths .
Total death numbers are not above normal death numbers .
We found @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Briand concluded .
In an interview with The News-Letter , Briand addressed the question of whether COVID-19 deaths can be called misleading since the infection might have exacerbated and even led to deaths by other underlying diseases .
“ If [ the COVID-19 death toll ] was not misleading at all , what we should have observed is an increased number of heart attacks and increased COVID-19 numbers .
But a decreased number of heart attacks and all the other death causes doesn ’ t give us a choice but to point to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ In other words , the effect of COVID-19 on deaths in the U.S. is considered problematic only when it increases the total number of deaths or the true death burden by a significant amount , in addition to the expected deaths by other causes .
Since the crude number of total deaths by all causes before and after COVID-19 has stayed the same , one can hardly say , in Briand ’ s view , that COVID-19 deaths are concerning .
Briand also mentioned that more research and data are needed to truly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the United States .
Throughout the talk , Briand constantly emphasized that although COVID-19 is a serious national and global problem , she also stressed that society should never lose focus of the bigger picture — death in general .
The death of a loved one , from COVID-19 or from other causes , is always tragic , Briand explained .
Each life is equally important and we should be reminded that even during a global pandemic we should not forget about the tragic loss of lives from other causes .
According @ @ @ @ @ @ @ COVID-19 death number may be due to the constant emphasis on COVID-19-related deaths and the habitual overlooking of deaths by other natural causes in society .
During an interview with The News-Letter after the event , Poorna Dharmasena , a master ’ s candidate in Applied Economics , expressed his opinion about Briand ’ s concluding remarks .
“ At the end of the day , it ’ s still a deadly virus .
And over-exaggeration or not , to a certain degree , is irrelevant , ” Dharmasena said .

According to new data, the U.S. currently ranks first in total COVID-19 cases, new cases per day and deaths. Genevieve Briand, assistant program director of the Applied Economics master’s degree program at Hopkins, critically analyzed the effect of COVID-19 on U.S. deaths using data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in her webinar titled “COVID-19 Deaths: A Look at U.S. Data.”
From mid-March to mid-September, U.S. total deaths have reached 1.7 million, of which 200,000, or 12% of total deaths, are COVID-19-related. Instead of looking directly at COVID-19 deaths, Briand focused on total deaths per age group and per cause of death in the U.S. and used this information to shed light on the effects of COVID-19.
She explained that the significance of COVID-19 on U.S. deaths can be fully understood only through comparison to the number of total deaths in the United States.
After retrieving data on the CDC website, Briand compiled a graph representing percentages of total deaths per age category from early February to early September, which includes the period from before COVID-19 was detected in the U.S. to after infection rates soared.
Surprisingly, the deaths of older people stayed the same before and after COVID-19. Since COVID-19 mainly affects the elderly, experts expected an increase in the percentage of deaths in older age groups. However, this increase is not seen from the CDC data. In fact, the percentages of deaths among all age groups remain relatively the same.
“The reason we have a higher number of reported COVID-19 deaths among older individuals than younger individuals is simply because every day in the U.S. older individuals die in higher numbers than younger individuals,” Briand said.
Briand also noted that 50,000 to 70,000 deaths are seen both before and after COVID-19, indicating that this number of deaths was normal long before COVID-19 emerged. Therefore, according to Briand, not only has COVID-19 had no effect on the percentage of deaths of older people, but it has also not increased the total number of deaths.
These data analyses suggest that in contrast to most people’s assumptions, the number of deaths by COVID-19 is not alarming. In fact, it has relatively no effect on deaths in the United States.
This comes as a shock to many people. How is it that the data lie so far from our perception?
To answer that question, Briand shifted her focus to the deaths per causes ranging from 2014 to 2020. There is a sudden increase in deaths in 2020 due to COVID-19. This is no surprise because COVID-19 emerged in the U.S. in early 2020, and thus COVID-19-related deaths increased drastically afterward.

This is likely the main explanation as to why COVID-19 deaths drastically increased while deaths by all other diseases experienced a significant decrease.
“All of this points to no evidence that COVID-19 created any excess deaths. Total death numbers are not above normal death numbers. We found no evidence to the contrary,” Briand concluded.

“If [the COVID-19 death toll] was not misleading at all, what we should have observed is an increased number of heart attacks and increased COVID-19 numbers. But a decreased number of heart attacks and all the other death causes doesn’t give us a choice but to point to some misclassification,” Briand replied.
In other words, the effect of COVID-19 on deaths in the U.S. is considered problematic only when it increases the total number of deaths or the true death burden by a significant amount, in addition to the expected deaths by other causes. Since the crude number of total deaths by all causes before and after COVID-19 has stayed the same, one can hardly say, in Briand’s view, that COVID-19 deaths are concerning.
Briand also mentioned that more research and data are needed to truly decipher the effect of COVID-19 on deaths in the United States.

Lies, damned lies, total whoppers . . .

There are lies , damned lies , and statistics .
While this warning is never terribly far from the political surface , it should be axiomatic whenever anyone starts talking about Covid data .
It has been years since a common pool of data has been so thoroughly mishandled by all sides , and this is sure to continue at least until a vaccine has been developed and delivered .
The surest sign that someone is playing fast and loose with statistics in order to push a particular point of view is the absence of context .
And regardless of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for Covid lockdowns , one thing is clear : since the outset , the media have quoted Covid statistics with a consistent absence of context .
The result has been to turn people who believe Covid is a significant danger into quivering cowards , and to cause people who believe Covid isn ’ t all that dangerous to dismiss the warnings entirely .
All the way back in March , when we were just realizing what we were up against , the media defaulted to the case fatality rate – the number of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ World Health Organization estimated this would be over 3 percent .
Some outlets were reporting case fatality rates above 10 percent .
By comparison , the case fatality rate for the common flu is a mere fraction of a percent .
On its face , a high case fatality rate leaves the uninformed reader thinking that the odds of dying from Covid are astronomical compared to the common flu .
But in March very few people were being tested .
To get tested for Covid , one generally had to be sick enough @ @ @ @ @ @ @ symptoms were light or even nonexistent didn ’ t get tested .
The result is that the reported Covid fatality rate was biased upward – early estimates had Covid more than 100 times deadlier than the flu .
But , at this point , the whole exercise was like asking what fraction of the female population is in labor by surveying women in a maternity ward .
That statistics were frightening , but without the necessary context , they were also meaningless .
By early April , the media was feeding people daily @ @ @ @ @ @ @ numbers with lots of zeros framed every screen , and they drew the same significant attention that massive death tolls always bring .
The missing context here : The number of people who died on a typical day before Covid .
At the April peak , more than 2,400 Americans were dying daily from Covid .
But , before Covid , 7,800 Americans died daily .
And that ’ s comparing the peak daily Covid deaths to average daily deaths in 2019 .
The average daily US Covid deaths since the outbreak occurred @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the number of deaths we would expect in the normal course of events .
The number is concerning , but bodies were not piling up in the streets as many breathlessly predicted .
The lack of context led people to believe that thousands of deaths per day was something out of the ordinary .
More people were dying to be sure , but to understand what that meant would have required people to understand how many Americans die each day in the normal course of events .
The American people generally have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t help matters .
It is the fantastic , after all , that drives media behavior .
By mid-April , pictures of exponential growth were everywhere .
But exponential growth is typical .
Every disease outbreak shows exponential growth at the outset .
And every disease outbreak shows a peak and decline following that exponential growth .
Without context , one could take the growth to mean that we ’ d all be infected , and likely dead , in short order .
By May , Covid deaths were falling , apparently @ @ @ @ @ @ @ But increased testing meant that more cases were being discovered , so the media shifted from breathlessly reporting daily deaths to breathlessly reporting daily infections .
For their purposes , one was as good as the other .
But as was the case in March and April , context also mattered in May .
There was no discussion of what “ case ” meant .
A case could be anything from someone on a ventilator to someone showing no symptoms at all .
Early data indicated that around 80 percent of Covid cases @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lack of context left the impression that each additional case was one more person on death ’ s door .
Making matters worse , the increase in testing introduced a confound .
By definition , the more people we test , the more cases we ’ ll find .
What matters isn ’ t the number of new cases we find , but the number of new cases we find as a fraction of the number of new tests we conduct .
Without the context of the number of new tests conducted , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we are finding more cases because more people are getting infected , or we ’ re finding more cases because we ’ re doing more testing .
In fact , in May and June , although the number of new Covid cases steadily rose , the percentage of tests coming back positive declined , indicating that the rising case numbers were due less to increased cases than to increased testing .
And while the media says ( correctly ) that the number of daily cases in November is setting records , they do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to increased testing .
The fraction of tests that are coming back positive , while rising , is on par with what the US experienced in mid May .

They could always say that the disease would have been devastating had they not locked everyone and everything down .

There are lies, damned lies, and statistics. While this warning is never terribly far from the political surface, it should be axiomatic whenever anyone starts talking about Covid data. It has been years since a common pool of data has been so thoroughly mishandled by all sides, and this is sure to continue at least until a vaccine has been developed and delivered.
The surest sign that someone is playing fast and loose with statistics in order to push a particular point of view is the absence of context. And regardless of one’s position on the need for Covid lockdowns, one thing is clear: since the outset, the media have quoted Covid statistics with a consistent absence of context. The result has been to turn people who believe Covid is a significant danger into quivering cowards, and to cause people who believe Covid isn’t all that dangerous to dismiss the warnings entirely.
All the way back in March, when we were just realizing what we were up against, the media defaulted to the case fatality rate – the number of deaths out of confirmed cases. The World Health Organization estimated this would be over 3 percent. Some outlets were reporting case fatality rates above 10 percent. By comparison, the case fatality rate for the common flu is a mere fraction of a percent.
On its face, a high case fatality rate leaves the uninformed reader thinking that the odds of dying from Covid are astronomical compared to the common flu. But in March very few people were being tested. To get tested for Covid, one generally had to be sick enough to be hospitalized. Those for whom symptoms were light or even nonexistent didn’t get tested.
The result is that the reported Covid fatality rate was biased upward – early estimates had Covid more than 100 times deadlier than the flu. But, at this point, the whole exercise was like asking what fraction of the female population is in labor by surveying women in a maternity ward. That statistics were frightening, but without the necessary context, they were also meaningless.
By early April, the media was feeding people daily reports on mounting Covid deaths. Gaudy numbers with lots of zeros framed every screen, and they drew the same significant attention that massive death tolls always bring. The missing context here: The number of people who died on a typical day before Covid.
At the April peak, more than 2,400 Americans were dying daily from Covid. But, before Covid, 7,800 Americans died daily. And that’s comparing the peak daily Covid deaths to average daily deaths in 2019. The average daily US Covid deaths since the outbreak occurred is around 870, or 10 percent of the number of deaths we would expect in the normal course of events. The number is concerning, but bodies were not piling up in the streets as many breathlessly predicted.
The lack of context led people to believe that thousands of deaths per day was something out of the ordinary. More people were dying to be sure, but to understand what that meant would have required people to understand how many Americans die each day in the normal course of events. The American people generally have little idea, and the media doesn’t help matters. It is the fantastic, after all, that drives media behavior.
By mid-April, pictures of exponential growth were everywhere. But exponential growth is typical. Every disease outbreak shows exponential growth at the outset. And every disease outbreak shows a peak and decline following that exponential growth. Without context, one could take the growth to mean that we’d all be infected, and likely dead, in short order.
By May, Covid deaths were falling, apparently depriving the media of a story. But increased testing meant that more cases were being discovered, so the media shifted from breathlessly reporting daily deaths to breathlessly reporting daily infections. For their purposes, one was as good as the other.
But as was the case in March and April, context also mattered in May. There was no discussion of what “case” meant. A case could be anything from someone on a ventilator to someone showing no symptoms at all. Early data indicated that around 80 percent of Covid cases didn’t require hospitalization. The lack of context left the impression that each additional case was one more person on death’s door.
Making matters worse, the increase in testing introduced a confound. By definition, the more people we test, the more cases we’ll find. What matters isn’t the number of new cases we find, but the number of new cases we find as a fraction of the number of new tests we conduct. Without the context of the number of new tests conducted, there is no way to know whether we are finding more cases because more people are getting infected, or we’re finding more cases because we’re doing more testing.
In fact, in May and June, although the number of new Covid cases steadily rose, the percentage of tests coming back positive declined, indicating that the rising case numbers were due less to increased cases than to increased testing. And while the media says (correctly) that the number of daily cases in November is setting records, they do not report that this is largely due to increased testing. The fraction of tests that are coming back positive, while rising, is on par with what the US experienced in mid May.
We can blame this persistent lack of context on a perfect storm of politicians seeking to be “doing something,” media seeking to sell advertising, and people paying enough attention to be scared, but not enough to understand.
From the beginning, politicians were caught between a rock and a hard place. Locking people and businesses down meant possibly saving lives from Covid, but it also meant losing lives and livelihoods to unemployment, poverty, depression, suicide, and domestic violence. Politicians had to choose wisely. Influencing their decisions was the fact that the ramifications of choosing incorrectly weren’t evenly weighted.
If the disease were virulent and politicians failed to lock down the American people, it would be clear that the politicians had erred and the people would hold them accountable for the many deaths that would ensue. But if the disease were mild and politicians unnecessarily locked down the country, it would not be at all clear that the politicians had erred. They could always say that the disease would have been devastating had they not locked everyone and everything down. That relatively few people died was actually a sign that the politicians had done the right thing.
Whether right or wrong, the better option for the politicians was to lock down. But the people would not tolerate a lockdown if they believed that the virus was a mild threat. For the politicians to be able to execute what, for them, was the safer strategy, the people had to believe that were it not for the lockdowns, millions of Americans would die. One way to convince people of this is to present them with data taken out of context.
Meanwhile, the media, ever on the lookout for ways to attract more eyeballs, had a stronger incentive to present the data in the worst possible light than to present context that made the data appear less scary.
While all of this may sound like an elaborate conspiracy, it isn’t. No one conspired to achieve this outcome. Politicians, people, and the media simply responded to the incentives in front of them. The outcome we got was entirely predictable.
And what will happen next is entirely predictable as well. Infections, we are told, are on the rise again.
Expect to see the politicians saying exactly the sorts of things they said in March and April. Expect the media to play the role of enabler once again.

There is no question that Covid is a serious disease, and that every life lost is cause for concern. But each one of us faces very real risks every day from all manner of things. What’s important is that we address each risk with commensurate care. That the media has consistently reported on Covid without appropriate context suggests that historians will look back on 2020 less for its outbreak of Covid than for its outbreak of hysteria

thelibertybeacon--2020-12-01--COVID-19 & The Great Reset: Connecting the Dots of Elitist Global Tyranny

COVID-19 & The Great Reset: Connecting the Dots of Elitist Global Tyranny
By: Roger Landry (TLB)
The Liberty Beacon Project (TLB) was founded over a decade ago with the intent of waking up an American public that was far to detached from those who would rule over them. This was as a result of a continuing project to basically dumb down Americans utilizing our food, water, air, medicine and education to accomplish this task. This is what precipitated the TLB Mission Statement still in use today, a very simple statement:
The Eradication of Programmed Ignorance
Look around you today and realize that all TLB and other alternative forums have been saying for the last decade plus … is knocking at your door as you read this! Why did it take the world on the precipice of tyrannical disaster for our credibility to surface once again (website/s traffic up by over 500%).
All of the globalists power grabs, the medical tyranny, the utter failure of the mainstream media, and the absolute negation of our inalienable rights … is now becoming reality, and Americans (and the entire globe) are ill-prepared and basically dumbfounded. Today we live in a world straight out of a science fiction horror novel.
We are being told that:
The worst pandemic to ever hit the planet is now once again exploding across the entire planet killing everything in its wake, and if we don’t lock down (indefinitely) we will all die! And we are expected to believe this unquestioned !!!
••••
The Great Reset will make everything better for you … more even distribution of wealth, more care for our environment, no property ownership, etc…! And we are expected to accept this unquestioned !!!
••••
Can you say Totalitarianism or even more accurately … Corporatism?
This is not … and never has been about a virus, it is about a Global Financial Reset, and COVID-19 is the mechanism/tool of accomplishment, but you are not supposed to know that. It is not the worlds most deadly virus by any means (if it even exists at all), but you are not supposed to know that. Recovery is better than 99.8%, but you are not supposed to know that. The test used for detection has serious problems and in far too many (massive) cases gives a false positive, but you are not supposed to believe that. People who (definitely) did not die of COVID-19 … DID, but you are not supposed to know about that either.
To see the massive restructuring of humanity currently underway in a more blatant light kindly ask yourself … What benefits will we receive on the other end of this man made catastrophe, that would justify the millions dying, or that will die as a result of the COVID-19 Plandemic/Scamdemic … NOT the (no worse than a yearly flu) virus.
What caught my eye about the attached video is its simplicity in both points made, and supporting information. As we become more and more a visual society, we will also depend more on this type of video to help you Eradicate some Programmed Ignorance …
••••
Please watch this Thought Provoking Video
••••
What we are looking at is easily the biggest power grab in global history, and one that has no problem killing off millions of us (possibly billions soon) unnecessary eaters to see this accomplished. This planet is now being prepared for Globalist total rule and enjoyment, and screw you … SLAVE!
If humanity allows this tyranny to become their reality via inaction … then please just shut-up and go away because …
You Got Everything that You Allowed !!!

Los Angeles County supervisor Sheila Kuehl was found dining outdoors at a restaurant in Santa Monica mere hours after she voted to ban the practice over Covid-19 safety concerns.
Kuehl was seen dining outside at her “favorite” Italian restaurant on the beachfront city last Tuesday, shortly after voting. When approached by a FOX 11 reporter, the managers said they “didn’t want to get involved,” and declined to comment.
On Monday, however, the sighting of Kuehl was confirmed by a spokesperson, who gave a statement to the local news channel.
Kuehl said she had been “saddened” to see the restaurant suffering declining revenue during the pandemic and was supporting it “on the very last day it was permissible.”
“She ate there, taking appropriate precautions and sadly will not dine there again until our Public Health Orders permit,” the statement read.

Notably, at the County Board of Supervisors meeting prior to the restaurant visit, Kuehl had described outside dining as “a most dangerous” experience, saying unmasked patrons could potentially expose the servers to Covid-19.
“This is a serious health emergency and we must take it seriously,” the official said, adding, “The servers are not protected from us, and they’re not protected from their other tables that they’re serving at that particular time, plus all the hours in which they’re working.”
Kuehl later went on to vote for restricting outdoor dining in Los Angeles county, a decision that passed by a 3-2 margin.
The supervisor ended up on the receiving end of public backlash, with locals accusing her of “hypocrisy.”
“For me it’s just proof of the continuous hypocrisy and just the lack of leadership and education as to what’s happening right now in this sort of shoot from the hip mentality that’s not doing anybody any good,” a local restaurant owner told Fox 11. “That sends a message that we’re getting direction from people that aren’t really believing in messages they’re making,” he added.
Social media reaction to the revelation about Kuehl was not much different, as commenters accused California’s “ruling class” of “rank hypocrisy.”

Examining the Evidence for Democrats’ ‘No Evidence of Voter Fraud’ Claim
By: Jon N. Hall
On November 14, the U.S. edition of The Guardian ran an article by Harvard Law professor Laurence H. Tribe headlined “Republicans are playing with fire. And we all risk getting burned.” Tribe claimed that there is “no evidence” so far of systemic fraud in the 2020 presidential election.
The next day on FNC’s Fox News Sunday, Mr. Tribe and Judge Kenneth Starr discussed the president’s legal challenges to the election. It’s an interesting exchange, and one can watch it here and here. In this writer’s opinion, Mr. Starr was the more persuasive, for Tribe again claimed “there is nothing in his [Trump’s] arguments and no evidence to back them.”
Immediately after Tribe’s claim, FNC’s moderator quoted a November 12 joint statement put out by the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), a division of the DHS: “There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes or was in any way compromised.” The CISA’s statement is quite short, and it should be read with a jaundiced eye. There are no links to web pages that explain its methodology and how it arrived at its conclusion that the 2020 election is “the most secure election in American history.” But that’s not saying much, given America’s long history of election fraud.
By employing the same “no evidence” rhetoric, both Tribe and the CISA attempt to shut down the debate. The tacit implication is that they have examined all of the evidence and found none of it to hold water. Also, by employing “no evidence” rhetoric, they expect us to accept them as the experts on these matters.
But this article isn’t about rhetoric; it’s about evidence, and there is “no evidence” that the vote counts in the 2020 presidential election are correct. But then no one can produce evidence to demonstrate what the legitimate vote counts were in any presidential election, at least within any reasonable time constraints. The changes to our voting systems in the 2020 elections were expressly designed so that there cannot be any evidence. Professor Tribe should tell us what the evidence would consist of that would allow us to know what the correct vote counts are.
Larry Tribe may like to oraculate from on high as though he were some objective, disinterested analyst calling balls and strikes, but he’s actually a highly partisan left-wing Democrat. In the Guardian article, he touches on the possibility of state legislatures going rogue and appointing electors who would vote against the candidate the people (supposedly) voted for. In disapproving of that, Tribe proves himself a hypocrite, for back in 2016, he was involved with Electors Trust and even wrote a letter “encouraging electors to vote against Trump.” In other words, Tribe was urging that they go rogue and become faithless electors. Also, when President Trump fired FBI director James Comey, which was entirely within his purview, Tribe urged impeachment. Tribe seems little better than the worthies on MSNBC and CNN who were hired precisely because they’re willing to say anything.
Only a small portion of Tribe’s article in The Guardian deals with vote counts. It quickly gets past election issues and degenerates into yet another broadside against Republicans in general and Trump in particular, and it’s wacky, repugnant stuff. However, it can be read for its sociological value and for entertainment.
For Tribe to pooh-pooh the considerable evidence that has been brought forward is evidence of Tribe’s bad faith. Perhaps Larry Tribe is a fraud. What kind of election systems would Tribe propose that would give Americans confidence in the vote count?
It was after the 37-day post-election brouhaha in 2000 when I started thinking about how to mend our broken election systems. One of my aims was not only to make fraud detectable, which it currently isn’t, but also to make fraud impossible to commit, or at least much more difficult. Have any of the changes made to our election systems since 2000 tried to do that? Of course not — the changes have all been geared to making registration and voting easier and easier. Election integrity hasn’t been the aim.
Larry Tribe would benefit from watching the opening to Mark Levin’s FNC show of November 22, “What is the civil litigation process of 2020 election suits?” He can find it here and here. Not only will Tribe discover that there are tons of evidence, but he might also learn how to litigate a case.
Why shouldn’t the Tribes of this world be required to prove that no fraud occurred? For that matter, why shouldn’t the boards of elections in the states be required to provide proof of the integrity of their elections? Voters are expected to just accept that the election officials in the several states are competent and honest and wouldn’t dream of breaking the law to throw an election to their candidate.
Whenever some self-appointed “expert” makes a claim of there being “no evidence” for something, insist that he produce the evidence for his claims. Ask him: what evidence do you have that there is “no evidence”?
Because they haven’t demanded that our election systems be fixed so that vote counts can be shown to be correct, the American people may deserve to have a frail, senile president and a braying, hebephrenic V.P. More’s the pity.
As of November 30, we were still counting votes for U.S. Representatives. If it weren’t for the 20th Amendment, which moved Inauguration Day from March 4 to January 20, we’d have 43 more days to contest this election’s fraud. The U.S. Supreme Court needs to vacate the presidential elections in Wisconsin, Michigan, Georgia, Nevada, and especially Pennsylvania and order that new elections be held with more security. The mountain of evidence of fraud demands a do-over.

Healing from cancer without chemo therapy or radiation.
There are so many things to address, and that I would like to share with all of you, writing it all down now, and making sense of it all.
In this short clip, I am proud to be able to finally (bearded and all!!) reach out and get people ready for my journey that has not ended yet…
I am now (trying) to rest comfortably, after a huge surgery, when they took out the cancerous bladder AND prostate, I have two bags attached to my stomach, one for the rectal refuse and the other, the urinary bag that they had to place, after taking out A LOT OF CANCER!
From here on in, it is a learning curve, as my weight went from 210+ to what is it today … 163 pounds.
Family and closest friends were so generous in helping me, even up to as I write this, because I have so little energy, and after the trauma of the operation, that the smallest things, for me, require the largest effort. It is a real Blessing to have a support system, nurses coming over, all doing their best to help me the way they can…
