A Summary of the Texas Election Lawsuit

Texas claims that the presidential elections as held ( and as directed by government officials outside the legislature ) in Pennsylvania , Georgia , Wisconsin , and Michigan all flagrantly violated their own election laws by materially weakening or doing away with security measures .
Further , according to the U.S. Constitution , the legislature ( representing the citizens ) of each state has absolute authority and responsibility for how presidential electors are chosen ; the will of legislature being expressed through state law .
Texas claims that the violations of election law in these states created an environment where @ @ @ @ @ @ @ occur .
The lawsuit lists the violations of law in each of the defendant states and provides evidence of fraud ( the number of ballots handled unconstitutionally ) in each of the states sufficient to change the outcome of the ballot counts .
• Vote Tally : 3,445,548 for Biden and 3,363,951 for Trump – margin 81,597 .
• Mail-in ballots increased from 266,208 in 2016 to over 3,000,000 in 2020 .
• The Secretary of State unilaterally abrogated signature verification requirements for mail-in ballots .
• PA supreme court changed existing deadline @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on the day of election to 3 days after the election and adopted a presumption that non-postmarked ballots be considered as valid .
• Election officials in Philadelphia and Allegheny Counties did not follow state law permitting poll-watchers to be present for the opening , counting , and recording of mail-in ballots .
• The Secretary of State directed election officials to remove ballots before 7:00 AM on the day of election in order to “ cure ” defective mail-in ballots .
This was done only in Democrat majority counties .
• Election @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 8:00 PM on election day breaking the promise made to the U.S. Supreme Court thus making it impossible to identify or remove those ballots .
• Ballots with no mailed date : 9,005 ( no evidence they were sent to a voter ) • Ballots returned on or before the mailed date : 58,221 • Ballots returned one day after the mailed date : 51,200 ( Perhaps not impossible , but highly unlikely for the average voter to receive a ballot , fill it out , place it in the mail and have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ • On Nov 2 , the day before the election , PA reports that 2.7 million ballots had been sent out .
On Nov 4 that number had increased to 3.1 million — an increase of 400,000 mail-in ballots at election time with literally no reasonable chance of them being used by legitimate voters .
• Vote Tally : 2,472,098 for Biden and 2,458,121 for Trump – margin 12,670 .
• Mail-in ballots : 65.32 % for Biden and 34.68 % for Trump .
• Mail-in ballots increased from 213,033 in 2016 to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of State unilaterally abrogated signature verification requirements for mail-in ballots .
• The Secretary of State authorized opening and processing mail-in ballots up to three weeks before election day when the law prohibits that until after the polls open on election day .
• The Secretary of State materially weakened the security requirements for ballot rejection based on signature verification or other missing information .
• Mail-in ballot rejection rate for missing or inaccurate information or for non-matching signatures decreased from 6.42 % in 2016 to .36 % in 2020 .
Rejecting 2020 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would have resulted in a net gain of 25,587 votes for Trump – twice the number needed to overcome Biden ’ s count .
With a six-fold increase in the number of mail-in ballots , reason would indicate that the rejection rate would increase , or at least stay the same , with so many first-time mail-in ballots .
• Vote Tally : 2,796,702 for Biden and 2,650,695 for Trump – margin 146,007 .
• In 2016 587,618 voters requested mail-in ballots .
In 2020 3.2 million votes were cast by mail-in ballot @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a rate approximately two times that of Republican voters .
• The Secretary of State unilaterally abrogated signature verification requirements for mail-in ballots .
• The Secretary of State sent out unsolicited ballots to all 7.7 million registered voters contrary to election law which requires a voter to request a mail-in ballot through a process that includes a signature to be matched with the voter registration .
• The Secretary of State also allowed absentee ballots to be requested online without signature verification .
• Local election officials in Wayne County — containing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump — opened and processed mail-in ballots without poll-watchers present .
• Local election officials in Wayne County also ignored the strict election law requirements of placing a written statement or stamp on each ballot envelope indicating that the voter signature was in fact checked and verified with the signature on file with the state .
• 174,384 mail-in ballots in Wayne County had no valid registration number , indicating they likely resulted from election workers running the same ballots through the tabulator multiple times .
• 71 % of Wayne County Absent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the number of people who checked in did not match the number of ballots cast .
• Vote Tally : 1,630,716 for Biden and 1,610,151 for Trump – margin 20,565 .
• Mail-in ballots increased from 146,932 in 2016 to 1,275,019 in 2020 .
• The Wisconsin Elections Commission ( WEC ) positioned hundreds of unmanned illegal drop boxes to collect absentee ballots .
( The use of any drop box , manned or unmanned , is directly prohibited by Wisconsin statute .
Any alternate mail-in ballot site “ shall be staffed by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the board of election commissioners… ” “ Ballots cast in contravention of the procedures specified in those provisions may not be included in the certified result of any election.
” ) • The WEC encouraged voters to unlawfully declare themselves “ indefinitely confined ” in order to avoid security measures like signature verification and photo ID requirements .
Nearly 216,000 voters said they were indefinitely confined in the 2020 election , nearly four times as many as in 2016 .
• Strict laws requiring mail-in voters to certify by signature including the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or circumvented by election officials .
• One hundred thousand ballots were supposedly missing and directed to be “ found ” after election day .
Significant violations of election law that were put into place to protect against election fraud is sufficient to invalidate the results of the elections , apart from whatever evidence is able to be gathered in a short time to show actual numbers of fraudulent ballots .
Reason would indicate that there is a high number of fraudulent ballots that are impossible to identify , which is why the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ established to begin with .
There is no remedy to correct the Nov 3rd election because ballots that did not adhere to election law can not be identified as separate from those that did .
An accurate count of legal ballots that were cast can not be made .
Therefore , as directed in the Constitution , it falls to the legislature of each state to choose electors as has been done in the past .
Failing that , each state may determine not to submit any presidential electors .
The Texas lawsuit @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s lead and winning any of the states after the point indicated was one in a quadrillion .
And therefore , the odds of winning all four was one in a quadrillion to the fourth power .
The lawsuit did not provide information on how that number was determined .
This may seem an exaggerated to some .
It is enough to state that the odds of winning any one of the states was highly unlikely and the odds of winning all four were extremely unlikely .
For example , if the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ states was numerically much less extreme but still highly unlikely , say something like one in twenty , then the odds of doing that in all four states would be 1 in 160,000 .
Twenty beans in a jar : 19 white and 1 black .
Reach in without looking and be lucky enough to pull out the one black bean .
Chances of doing that again is 1 in 400 .
Clearly indicative of cheating if someone claims to have done that four times in a row .
As I said the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of 1 in a 1,000,000,000,000 are not given so I can not speak to that .
But even if the odds were orders of magnitude better than that , they were still astronomically small .
At any rate , the merits of the lawsuit do not depend on any certain level of odds of Biden overcoming a lead that had been established by 3:00 A.M. the day after election .
The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate , and for this we are grateful and excited !

A Summary of the Texas Election Lawsuit
By: Robert Madsen
Texas claims that the presidential elections as held (and as directed by government officials outside the legislature) in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Wisconsin, and Michigan all flagrantly violated their own election laws by materially weakening or doing away with security measures. Further, according to the U.S. Constitution, the legislature (representing the citizens) of each state has absolute authority and responsibility for how presidential electors are chosen; the will of legislature being expressed through state law.
Texas claims that the violations of election law in these states created an environment where ballot fraud was enabled and likely to occur. The lawsuit lists the violations of law in each of the defendant states and provides evidence of fraud (the number of ballots handled unconstitutionally) in each of the states sufficient to change the outcome of the ballot counts.
Pennsylvania
Facts:
Vote Tally: 3,445,548 for Biden and 3,363,951 for Trump – margin 81,597. Requests for mail-in ballots 70% Democrats and 25% Republicans. Mail-in ballots increased from 266,208 in 2016 to over 3,000,000 in 2020.
Violations of Election Law:
The Secretary of State unilaterally abrogated signature verification requirements for mail-in ballots. PA supreme court changed existing deadline for receiving mail-in ballots from 8:00 PM on the day of election to 3 days after the election and adopted a presumption that non-postmarked ballots be considered as valid. Election officials in Philadelphia and Allegheny Counties did not follow state law permitting poll-watchers to be present for the opening, counting, and recording of mail-in ballots. The Secretary of State directed election officials to remove ballots before 7:00 AM on the day of election in order to “cure” defective mail-in ballots. This was done only in Democrat majority counties. Election officials did not segregate ballots received after 8:00 PM on election day breaking the promise made to the U.S. Supreme Court thus making it impossible to identify or remove those ballots.
Evidence of Fraud:
Ballots with no mailed date: 9,005 (no evidence they were sent to a voter) Ballots returned on or before the mailed date: 58,221 Ballots returned one day after the mailed date: 51,200 (Perhaps not impossible, but highly unlikely for the average voter to receive a ballot, fill it out, place it in the mail and have it returned the next day.) On Nov 2, the day before the election, PA reports that 2.7 million ballots had been sent out. On Nov 4 that number had increased to 3.1 million — an increase of 400,000 mail-in ballots at election time with literally no reasonable chance of them being used by legitimate voters.
Georgia
Facts:
Vote Tally: 2,472,098 for Biden and 2,458,121 for Trump – margin 12,670. Mail-in ballots: 65.32% for Biden and 34.68% for Trump. Mail-in ballots increased from 213,033 in 2016 to 1,305,659 in 2020.
Violations of Election Law:
The Secretary of State unilaterally abrogated signature verification requirements for mail-in ballots. The Secretary of State authorized opening and processing mail-in ballots up to three weeks before election day when the law prohibits that until after the polls open on election day. The Secretary of State materially weakened the security requirements for ballot rejection based on signature verification or other missing information.
Evidence of Fraud:
Mail-in ballot rejection rate for missing or inaccurate information or for non-matching signatures decreased from 6.42% in 2016 to .36% in 2020. Rejecting 2020 ballots at the same rate as 2016 would have resulted in a net gain of 25,587 votes for Trump – twice the number needed to overcome Biden’s count. With a six-fold increase in the number of mail-in ballots, reason would indicate that the rejection rate would increase, or at least stay the same, with so many first-time mail-in ballots.
Michigan
Facts:
Vote Tally: 2,796,702 for Biden and 2,650,695 for Trump – margin 146,007. In 2016 587,618 voters requested mail-in ballots. In 2020 3.2 million votes were cast by mail-in ballot. Democrats voted by mail at a rate approximately two times that of Republican voters.
Violations of Election Law:
The Secretary of State unilaterally abrogated signature verification requirements for mail-in ballots. The Secretary of State sent out unsolicited ballots to all 7.7 million registered voters contrary to election law which requires a voter to request a mail-in ballot through a process that includes a signature to be matched with the voter registration. The Secretary of State also allowed absentee ballots to be requested online without signature verification. Local election officials in Wayne County — containing 322,925 more ballots for Biden than for Trump — opened and processed mail-in ballots without poll-watchers present. Local election officials in Wayne County also ignored the strict election law requirements of placing a written statement or stamp on each ballot envelope indicating that the voter signature was in fact checked and verified with the signature on file with the state.
Evidence of Fraud:
174,384 mail-in ballots in Wayne County had no valid registration number, indicating they likely resulted from election workers running the same ballots through the tabulator multiple times. 71% of Wayne County Absent Voter Counting Boards were unbalanced, where the number of people who checked in did not match the number of ballots cast.
Wisconsin
Facts:
Vote Tally: 1,630,716 for Biden and 1,610,151 for Trump – margin 20,565. Mail-in ballots increased from 146,932 in 2016 to 1,275,019 in 2020.
Violations of Election Law:
The Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC) positioned hundreds of unmanned illegal drop boxes to collect absentee ballots. (The use of any drop box, manned or unmanned, is directly prohibited by Wisconsin statute. Any alternate mail-in ballot site “shall be staffed by the municipal clerk or the executive director of the board of election commissioners…” “Ballots cast in contravention of the procedures specified in those provisions may not be included in the certified result of any election.”) The WEC encouraged voters to unlawfully declare themselves “indefinitely confined” in order to avoid security measures like signature verification and photo ID requirements. Nearly 216,000 voters said they were indefinitely confined in the 2020 election, nearly four times as many as in 2016. Strict laws requiring mail-in voters to certify by signature including the signature of an adult witness were ignored or circumvented by election officials.
Evidence of Fraud:
One hundred thousand ballots were supposedly missing and directed to be “found” after election day.
Conclusion
Significant violations of election law that were put into place to protect against election fraud is sufficient to invalidate the results of the elections, apart from whatever evidence is able to be gathered in a short time to show actual numbers of fraudulent ballots. Reason would indicate that there is a high number of fraudulent ballots that are impossible to identify, which is why the election laws pertaining to mail-in ballots were established to begin with.
There is no remedy to correct the Nov 3rd election because ballots that did not adhere to election law cannot be identified as separate from those that did. An accurate count of legal ballots that were cast cannot be made. Therefore, as directed in the Constitution, it falls to the legislature of each state to choose electors as has been done in the past. Failing that, each state may determine not to submit any presidential electors.
The Texas lawsuit claims the odds of Biden overcoming Trump’s lead and winning any of the states after the point indicated was one in a quadrillion. And therefore, the odds of winning all four was one in a quadrillion to the fourth power. The lawsuit did not provide information on how that number was determined. This may seem an exaggerated to some. It is enough to state that the odds of winning any one of the states was highly unlikely and the odds of winning all four were extremely unlikely.

Twenty beans in a jar: 19 white and 1 black. Reach in without looking and be lucky enough to pull out the one black bean. Chances of doing that again is 1 in 400. Clearly indicative of cheating if someone claims to have done that four times in a row. As I said the statistical analysis behind the claim of odds of 1 in a 1,000,000,000,000 are not given so I cannot speak to that. But even if the odds were orders of magnitude better than that, they were still astronomically small. At any rate, the merits of the lawsuit do not depend on any certain level of odds of Biden overcoming a lead that had been established by 3:00 A.M. the day after election.

States, FTC suing Facebook over alleged antitrust violations
FTC suit alleges Facebook has engaged in “systematic strategy” to eliminate competition
By Joseph Weber
Dozens of states and federal antitrust authorities filed antitrust lawsuits Wednesday claiming Facebook is illegally squashed competitors and buying up-and-coming social media platforms to secure its online dominance.
New York Attorney General Tish James announced the lawsuit brought by 48 states and district, in a virtual news conference.
“It’s really critically important that we block this predatory acquisition of companies and that we restore confidence to the market,” Tish said.
The Federal Trade Commission filled a separate suit Wednesday in federal court also asked for Facebook to be ordered to divest its Instagram and WhatsApp messaging services and arguing that the social media giant is abusing its market power in social networking to crush smaller competitors.
The FTC is seeking the separation of the services from Facebook, saying the platform has engaged in a “systematic strategy” to eliminate its competition – including by purchasing smaller, burgeoning rivals like Instagram in 2012 and WhatsApp in 2014.
James made similar arguments in her press conference, saying Facebook “used its monopoly power to crush smaller rivals and snuff out competition, all at the expense of everyday users,” according to the Associated Press.
Facebook is the world’s biggest social network with 2.7 billion users and a nearly $800 billion market value.
Mark Zuckerberg/GettyImages
Company CEO Mark Zuckerberg is the world’s fifth-richest person and was a pioneer in the social media industry.
James alleged Facebook had a practice of opening its site to third-party app developers, then abruptly cutting off developers that it saw as a threat.
The lawsuit – which includes 46 states, Guam and the District of Columbia – alleges Facebook of anti-competitive conduct and using its market dominance to harvest consumer data and reap a fortune in advertising revenues.
James also said the coalition worked collaboratively with the FTC but made clear the attorneys general conducted their own, separate investigation.
Facebook paid $1 billion for Instagram, bolstering the social networking platform’s portfolio a month before its stock went public. At the time, the photo-sharing app had about 30 million users and wasn’t producing any revenue. Zuckerberg vowed both companies would be run independently, but over the years the services have become increasingly integrated with users able to link accounts and share content across the platforms. Instagram now has more than 1 billion users worldwide. Facebook acquired WhatsApp, an encrypted messaging service, for $19 billion, the wire service also reported.

thelibertybeacon--2020-12-10--Is The Globalist “Reset” Failing? Have The Elites Overplayed Their Hand?

Is The Globalist “ Reset ” Failing ?
The Elites May Have Overplayed Their Hand One aspect of narcopaths ( narcissistic sociopaths ) that is important to remember is that they live in their own little world in which their desires and bizarre dysfunctions are normalized .
They believe themselves superior to most people because they are predatory , and don ’ t suffer from annoying hang-ups like empathy and conscience .
They generally tend to believe they have pulled the wool over everyone ’ s eyes the majority of the time .
They think that you are a submissive @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an order , you will simply jump to attention because you “ believe ” .
Almost every aspect of the globalists and their behavior indicates they are a club or cult of narcopaths .
Their obsessive need to control as well as to corrupt and destroy in order to get what they want is not an extension of mere greed , it is a deep-seated aspect of who they are as beings .
It is a defining mechanism at the core of their character .
They are real world monsters , like vampires @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
In their arrogance , then tend to expect they can drain the public dry at will without being resisted or exposed .
The problem is , as soon as they start to feed and destroy they draw attention to themselves .
Eventually , they will attract the suspicions of the public , along with some vampire hunters .
Unless they find a way to hide a stake through the heart is inevitable .
I have been writing about the threats of globalism and the “ reset ” for many years now , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ two separate quandaries ; one affecting the liberty movement and the other affecting the globalists : The fact is , the “ conspiracy theorists ” were RIGHT ALL ALONG , and now there is nothing anyone can say about it .
There are two schools of thought in the liberty movement ; one suggesting that the globalist agenda is fixed and unstoppable and that the best anyone can do is survive .
The second suggests that the reset can be stopped and the globalists can be brought to justice .
I stand in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the reset that are indeed fixed and that can not be undone .
For example , numerous national economies including the US are in the midst of a stagflationary collapse and there is nothing that can be done to reverse it .
Perhaps a decade ago we could have changed course , but now it is too late .
The pain can be reduced if people quickly end their dependency on the system and create localized trade networks of their own , but the economy as we know it right now is dead @ @ @ @ @ @ @ soon .
I do not see this , though , as a win for the elites .
Crashing the economy is one thing , rebuilding it into the collectivist dystopia they desperately want is another .
Everything depends on who rebuilds ; maybe it will be them , maybe it will be us .
I am seeing some encouraging signs these days that the globalist reset is NOT a sure thing , and those that know my work know I have never been one for misplaced optimism .
Specifically , the exploitation of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ram through numerous draconian restrictions does not seem to be going exactly as the elites planned .
I have to look back at Event 201 to really gauge the state of the game , because what the elites planned and what has happened do not completely match up .
For those not familiar , Event 201 was a type of “ war game ” held by globalists from the World Economic Forum and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation .
The scenario ?
A pandemic outbreak of a coronavirus which would spread like @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people .
The simulation was held only a couple of months before the real thing happened at the start of 2020 .
In the year since the outbreak , the globalists have attempted to enforce nearly every plan that was outlined during Event 201 , including using social media to censor or restrict any news or information outside of the establishment approved narrative ( Yes , narrative control was discussed at the event in great detail ) .
Klaus Schwab of the World Economic Forum has consistently and excitedly applauded the pandemic crisis @ @ @ @ @ @ @ institute the “ reset ” that the globalists have been talking about for years .
Unfortunately for them , the virus has not been anywhere near as deadly as they appear to have hoped .
With a death rate of well below 1 % for anyone outside of a nursing home with preexisting conditions , the establishment has now been forced to pump up infection numbers as a means to terrorize the populace because the death numbers are not enough to convince people to willingly hand over their freedoms .
The Infection Fatality @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not counting nursing home deaths with preexisting conditions is only 0.26 % of those infected .
There is a propaganda meme being passed around these days that tries to exaggerate the danger of death from Covid , and it goes a little something like this : This is an idiotic talking point but luckily no one is buying it .
Over 40 % of Covid deaths are people that are already sick and on the verge of dying anyway ( And no , refusing to wear masks is not the same as endorsing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ death panel is about socialists refusing treatment to people at risk because of their age .
No one is suggesting that old people be refused treatment , and they always have the option of staying under quarantine if they fear they will become infected .
They are already retired and receiving social security , perhaps if we are going to stimulate then the bailout money should go to those most at risk so that the rest of us can continue on with normal life ? )
Hundreds of thousands of people die every @ @ @ @ @ @ @ flu , common colds and pneumonia , yet , the prospect of abandoning the Bill of Rights , submitting to economic shutdowns and wearing a muzzle on our faces wherever we go was never brought up before .
Why should we ask 99.7 % of Americans or the world to accept medical tyranny just to make .26 % of the population feel safe ?
People who question the mandates are called “ selfish ” , but even if I was one of the people susceptible to the virus , I would NEVER demand @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to totalitarianism at the off chance that I might live a little while longer .
Now THAT would be selfish .
As more and more studies and data are released , the mask mandates are also coming into question .
Though Big Tech has sought to suppress or censor studies that run contrary to the mainstream narrative , this has only led more people to question the motivations of governments pushing the mandates .
After all , the mainstream media keeps saying that we should “ listen to the science ” , but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ So , if the pandemic response is not based in science , then it must only be about control .
Many Americans are not as stupid as the elites think .
They see the inconsistencies in the rhetoric and the data and they are increasingly prone to refuse to comply .

The average effectiveness of most vaccines is around 50 % or less , and these are vaccines with hundreds of trials and years of usage .

Many people are not buying @ @ @ @ @ @ @ perhaps why the elites are jumping headlong into vaccination so fast .
Consider this fact : Numerous polls indicate that at least 1 in 3 Americans plan to refuse the Covid vaccine when it is released to the general public .
60 % of Americans have stated in polls that they will not take the vaccine unless it is proven to be at least 75 % effective .
Here I think we have our explanation for the vaccination bonanza .
The elites know that a third of Americans ( and probably Europeans ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ any propaganda they dish out .
They also know that 60 % of Americans are unlikely to take the vaccine unless they can show an effectiveness rate of at least 75 % .
Neither Moderna nor Pfizer have actually produced any evidence that their vaccines are capable of prevented severe illness or death from Covid , so , their effectiveness rate is based on “ projections ” of success according to their minimal trials .
Meaning , the effectiveness rate of 95 % is completely arbitrary .
Why did they go with such @ @ @ @ @ @ @ realistic 50 % to 60 % ?
Because the polls say they need an epic effectiveness rate in order to convince Americans to take the vaccine .
I think it is really as simple as that .
Americans are skeptical of the vaccines for a number of reasons .
The reality that they are minimally tested and rushed out in less than a year is one reason .
The fact that the government and the media have been caught censoring or lying about Covid data is another reason .
People just don ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can blame them ?
Who would trust a cabal of psychopaths to inject them with an unknown viral cocktail ?
Maybe their intentions are not so pure ?
The public is right to be suspicious .
A former Pfizer vice president , Dr. Michael Yeadon among other medical professionals have recently warned that the vaccines have not been adequately tested and that there is a risk of “ indefinite infertility ” for women who take the current Covid vaccine due to damaging autoimmune response .
In other words , the vaccine could make @ @ @ @ @ @ @ children .
Maybe this is what Bill Gates meant when he stated in his Ted Talk that “ vaccines and reproductive services ” could help contribute to a reduction of the Earth ’ s population of 10 % to 15 % as a means to “ stop global warming .
Why would Bill Gates mention vaccines in the same breath as “ reproductive services ” in reference to population reduction ?
Aren ’ t vaccines supposed to help people live longer ?
Well , the Pfizer VP ’ s warning about the Covid @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Maybe the Covid vaccine won ’ t make you sick , or kill you .
Maybe you will live a long life free of coronavirus , but you ’ ll find out a few years after taking the vaccine that you won ’ t ever be able to have kids .
Watch the movie ‘ Children Of Men ’ to get a sense of what the future might be like if the globalists get their way .
In the meantime , the elites are trying with everything they have to convince the public @ @ @ @ @ @ @ liberties in the name of survival and “ the greater good ” .
They are already talking about how things will never go back to normal , and the changes being made today will stay in place for many years to come .
Governments are in the media right now claiming the vaccines “ will not be mandatory ” .
This is a lie .
At the same time they are putting mandates in place to require you to prove you are vaccinated in order to go to public places and even to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ take the vaccine or you die from poverty .
This is not a choice .
But , I see millions of Americans standing in opposition to this agenda .
I see sheriffs and police across the country refusing to enforce the agenda , even in hard-left states like California .
I see protests in lockdown states like Michigan , California and New York .
I see mass protests in Europe .

Is The Globalist “Reset” Failing? The Elites May Have Overplayed Their Hand
By: Brandon Smith
One aspect of narcopaths (narcissistic sociopaths) that is important to remember is that they live in their own little world in which their desires and bizarre dysfunctions are normalized. They believe themselves superior to most people because they are predatory, and don’t suffer from annoying hang-ups like empathy and conscience. They generally tend to believe they have pulled the wool over everyone’s eyes the majority of the time. They think that you are a submissive idiot, and that when they bark an order, you will simply jump to attention because you “believe”.
Almost every aspect of the globalists and their behavior indicates they are a club or cult of narcopaths. Their obsessive need to control as well as to corrupt and destroy in order to get what they want is not an extension of mere greed, it is a deep-seated aspect of who they are as beings. It is a defining mechanism at the core of their character. They are real world monsters, like vampires attempting to blend into an unsuspecting population.
In their arrogance, then tend to expect they can drain the public dry at will without being resisted or exposed. The problem is, as soon as they start to feed and destroy they draw attention to themselves. Eventually, they will attract the suspicions of the public, along with some vampire hunters. Unless they find a way to hide a stake through the heart is inevitable.
I have been writing about the threats of globalism and the “reset” for many years now, and I have noted for some time two separate quandaries; one affecting the liberty movement and the other affecting the globalists:
1) First, criminals tend to brag about their crimes when they think that it’s too late for anyone to do anything about them. I predicted the globalists would be very open in revealing their agenda the moment they believed themselves “untouchable”. For the freedom loving public this suggests that in 2020 going into 2021 that the elites must think there is nothing that can be done to stop the machine; they are so blatant in their calls for the global “reset”, a cashless society, totalitarian lockdowns and a surveillance state that no one in their right mind can claim these notions are “conspiracy theory” anymore.
The fact is, the “conspiracy theorists” were RIGHT ALL ALONG, and now there is nothing anyone can say about it.
2) Second, I have also argued in the past that the globalist push for a “new world order” is a double edged sword that could very well end up annihilating them. As they attempt to initiate their reset agenda, they become more and more exposed; they can no longer lurk in the safety of the shadows and there is no going back once the process is started. Once the globalists become widely known, they must either swiftly take control through engineered chaos and collapse, or face retribution that could eliminate a cabal that took them centuries to build. Vampires must make the rest of the world a dark place before leaving the shadows, or they risk dying in the light of day.
There are two schools of thought in the liberty movement; one suggesting that the globalist agenda is fixed and unstoppable and that the best anyone can do is survive. The second suggests that the reset can be stopped and the globalists can be brought to justice. I stand in both camps.
There are aspects of the reset that are indeed fixed and that cannot be undone. For example, numerous national economies including the US are in the midst of a stagflationary collapse and there is nothing that can be done to reverse it. Perhaps a decade ago we could have changed course, but now it is too late. The pain can be reduced if people quickly end their dependency on the system and create localized trade networks of their own, but the economy as we know it right now is dead and it is not coming back anytime soon.
I do not see this, though, as a win for the elites. Crashing the economy is one thing, rebuilding it into the collectivist dystopia they desperately want is another. Everything depends on who rebuilds; maybe it will be them, maybe it will be us.
I am seeing some encouraging signs these days that the globalist reset is NOT a sure thing, and those that know my work know I have never been one for misplaced optimism. Specifically, the exploitation of the pandemic response as a means to ram through numerous draconian restrictions does not seem to be going exactly as the elites planned.
I have to look back at Event 201 to really gauge the state of the game, because what the elites planned and what has happened do not completely match up. For those not familiar, Event 201 was a type of “war game” held by globalists from the World Economic Forum and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The scenario? A pandemic outbreak of a coronavirus which would spread like wildfire and kill a predicted 65 million people. The simulation was held only a couple of months before the real thing happened at the start of 2020.
In the year since the outbreak, the globalists have attempted to enforce nearly every plan that was outlined during Event 201, including using social media to censor or restrict any news or information outside of the establishment approved narrative (Yes, narrative control was discussed at the event in great detail). Klaus Schwab of the World Economic Forum has consistently and excitedly applauded the pandemic crisis as a “perfect opportunity” to institute the “reset” that the globalists have been talking about for years.
Unfortunately for them, the virus has not been anywhere near as deadly as they appear to have hoped. With a death rate of well below 1% for anyone outside of a nursing home with preexisting conditions, the establishment has now been forced to pump up infection numbers as a means to terrorize the populace because the death numbers are not enough to convince people to willingly hand over their freedoms. The Infection Fatality Rate (IFR) for Covid 19 not counting nursing home deaths with preexisting conditions is only 0.26% of those infected.
There is a propaganda meme being passed around these days that tries to exaggerate the danger of death from Covid, and it goes a little something like this:
“Covid has killed more people that the Vietnam War and the Gulf Wars combined in a single year, therefore your freedoms are forfeit…”
This is an idiotic talking point but luckily no one is buying it. Over 40% of Covid deaths are people that are already sick and on the verge of dying anyway (And no, refusing to wear masks is not the same as endorsing “death panels”, because a death panel is about socialists refusing treatment to people at risk because of their age. No one is suggesting that old people be refused treatment, and they always have the option of staying under quarantine if they fear they will become infected. They are already retired and receiving social security, perhaps if we are going to stimulate then the bailout money should go to those most at risk so that the rest of us can continue on with normal life?)
Hundreds of thousands of people die every year from diseases and illnesses including the flu, common colds and pneumonia, yet, the prospect of abandoning the Bill of Rights, submitting to economic shutdowns and wearing a muzzle on our faces wherever we go was never brought up before.
Why should we ask 99.7% of Americans or the world to accept medical tyranny just to make .26% of the population feel safe? People who question the mandates are called “selfish”, but even if I was one of the people susceptible to the virus, I would NEVER demand that 99% of the population bow to totalitarianism at the off chance that I might live a little while longer. Now THAT would be selfish.
As more and more studies and data are released, the mask mandates are also coming into question. Though Big Tech has sought to suppress or censor studies that run contrary to the mainstream narrative, this has only led more people to question the motivations of governments pushing the mandates. After all, the mainstream media keeps saying that we should “listen to the science”, but they ignore or censor the science. So, if the pandemic response is not based in science, then it must only be about control.
Many Americans are not as stupid as the elites think. They see the inconsistencies in the rhetoric and the data and they are increasingly prone to refuse to comply. This might be why the establishment is suddenly rushing out at least two Covid vaccines in the span of half a year; they have to get the vaccine phase of the Reset underway before too many people jump from the panic bandwagon.
The vaccine rush and the claims of effectiveness of 94% to 95% from Pfizer and Moderna are suspect. The average effectiveness of most vaccines is around 50% or less, and these are vaccines with hundreds of trials and years of usage. Somehow, Pfizer and Moderna were both able to produce a vaccine for a SARS type virus when multiple governments tried for over a decade to produce vaccines for SARS in China and were unsuccessful, and they were able to achieve 95% effectiveness?
Many people are not buying the vaccine story, and this is perhaps why the elites are jumping headlong into vaccination so fast. Consider this fact:
Numerous polls indicate that at least 1 in 3 Americans plan to refuse the Covid vaccine when it is released to the general public. 60% of Americans have stated in polls that they will not take the vaccine unless it is proven to be at least 75% effective.
Here I think we have our explanation for the vaccination bonanza. The elites know that a third of Americans (and probably Europeans) will not take the vaccine regardless of any propaganda they dish out. They also know that 60% of Americans are unlikely to take the vaccine unless they can show an effectiveness rate of at least 75%. Neither Moderna nor Pfizer have actually produced any evidence that their vaccines are capable of prevented severe illness or death from Covid, so, their effectiveness rate is based on “projections” of success according to their minimal trials. Meaning, the effectiveness rate of 95% is completely arbitrary.
Why did they go with such a high number instead of a more realistic 50% to 60%? Because the polls say they need an epic effectiveness rate in order to convince Americans to take the vaccine. I think it is really as simple as that.
Americans are skeptical of the vaccines for a number of reasons. The reality that they are minimally tested and rushed out in less than a year is one reason . The fact that the government and the media have been caught censoring or lying about Covid data is another reason. People just don’t trust the elites, and who can blame them?

A former Pfizer vice president, Dr. Michael Yeadon among other medical professionals have recently warned that the vaccines have not been adequately tested and that there is a risk of “indefinite infertility” for women who take the current Covid vaccine due to damaging autoimmune response. In other words, the vaccine could make many women barren and unable to have children.
Maybe this is what Bill Gates meant when he stated in his Ted Talk that “vaccines and reproductive services” could help contribute to a reduction of the Earth’s population of 10% to 15% as a means to “stop global warming.

Why would Bill Gates mention vaccines in the same breath as “reproductive services” in reference to population reduction? Aren’t vaccines supposed to help people live longer? Well, the Pfizer VP’s warning about the Covid vaccine is ringing bells for me. Maybe the Covid vaccine won’t make you sick, or kill you. Maybe you will live a long life free of coronavirus, but you’ll find out a few years after taking the vaccine that you won’t ever be able to have kids.

They are already talking about how things will never go back to normal, and the changes being made today will stay in place for many years to come.
Governments are in the media right now claiming the vaccines “will not be mandatory”. This is a lie.

Do it, Ms. Jackson. Fire them if they won’t work.
Chicago Public Schools CEO Janice Jackson (Pictured here) warned last week that teachers without preexisting conditions who don’t show up to schools when they open will be fired.
The damage inflicted by school shut-downs on Chicago’s youth, particularly minority youth, is already horrifying. Despite no meaningful risk whatsoever, the Chicago Teachers Union is now seeking an injunction against reopening. Nothing could be more just – and better for Chicago students in the long run – than canning teachers who are ducking their obligation.
Remote learning is an abysmal failure.
‘F’ grades are 2.6 times higher than last year in Chicago elementary schools and worse for minority and homeless students.
Almost a quarter of kids haven’t logged in even once.
It’s much worse for minority and homeless students.
Many get no square meal and no adult guidance outside of school. They are being robbed of not just an education but of the only structure in their lives.
Yet the CTU said “the push to reopen schools is rooted in sexism, racism and misogyny.” That tweet, shown here, was later deleted but the perfidy to which the CTU will stoop was there for all to see.
What’s the CTU’s real problem with going back to work? Everything, which is pretty much their usual answer.
“Everything about what they are doing is wrong,” said CTU Vice President Stacy Davis Gates. (Pictured below)
Most everything about the schools, Chicago and America is rotten, they routinely say in contract negotiations and elsewhere, so they want everything changed.
So they’re now seeking an injunction against opening Chicago schools. Their demands are based on supposed safety issues. They want safety protocols, personal protective equipment, COVID-19 screening, testing, contact tracing, vaccination, a nurse in every school, smaller classes that allow for social distancing, social and emotional supports for traumatized students, and upgrades to make ventilation safe.
That’s pointless hogwash. The risk to teachers is infinitesimal. Even if one gets infected with coronavirus, the chances of survival are 99.98% according to the Center for Disease Control for those under age 60, which is almost all Chicago teachers. Seventy-seven percent of them, in fact, are under 50. Those who are older or have known comorbidities would be allowed to teach remotely or given another accommodation, which is common for schools that have reopened.
And for students, the risk is near zero — 99.9997% survival rate for those under age 20, if they get infected. Four have died from the virus in Chicago.
“At no time has the CDC suggested school should be closed,” said CDC director Robert Redfield last month. “…All school should remain open. It is the safest place for children to be,” he said. “It’s safe to keep schools open,” said Dr. Daniel Johnson, chief of Pediatric Infectious Diseases at the University of Chicago Medical Center. And “the vast majority of public and private schools in the Chicago area that have reopened in some capacity this fall have had little confirmed exposure to the coronavirus in the past month,” according to a Chicago Sun-Times analysis of state data.
There’s only one challenging circumstance, and that’s where students live in an extended family with elderly relatives who face serious risk. But school could be used to educate children in those families about how to reduce that risk, and those children are probably exposing those families with or without school. That education has been lacking in messaging from health authorities, and fixing that is part of the “focused protection” advocated by a growing number of experts, which we’ve written often about.

Remember above all else that not all Chicago teachers support the CTU, though a majority apparently do. Those that don’t include many who are living saints. But those who stand in the schoolhouse door should be gone.
Fire them.

thelibertybeacon--2020-12-10--Lockdowns & the Rule of Law

Lockdowns & the Rule of Law

Lockdowns and the Rule of Law Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote in his latest book that : Gorsuch published his book in 2019 and James Madison spoke those words over 200 years ago .
Like most of the wisdom espoused by our Founding Fathers , such words were not just meant for the moment ; they were meant for posterity .
They knew that if this country was to last through the ages and not just one generation , eternal lessons regarding good government must be upheld .
The rule of law is an essential idea that forms the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Without it , the arbitrary hand of tyranny and incompetence is free to wreck the lives of everyday citizens .
The United States Courts state that the Rule of law is a principle under which all persons , institutions , and entities are accountable to laws that are : Essentially the rule of law dictates that nobody , not even our leaders , are above the law .
That the Constitution , not the tyranny of the majority or the minority , reigns supreme .
The rule of law allows a society @ @ @ @ @ @ @ plan their lives without fear of arbitrary restrictions , and have confidence that contracts will be enforced .
Such guarantees are responsible for modern prosperity .
Economists such as Deirdre McCloskey cite the freedoms and security provided by ideas such as the rule of law as one of the primary reasons for the widespread prosperity we have today .
Human history has been characterized by thousands of years of stagnation and suffering but within the past 200 years that changed for the better because of ideas such as the rule of law .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ of law is clearly the foundation of our republic ; without it , modern society would cease to exist in short order .
In the age of Covid-19 and lockdowns politicians have either attempted or have blatantly flouted the rule of law .
They have acted as tyrants and not public servants by violating state constitutions as well as the federal constitution .
They have exercised hypocrisy by flagrantly violating the laws and suggestions they write .
Finally they have undermined the stability of our institutions by frantically and arbitrarily issuing new laws @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hardship .

Lockdowns and the Rule of Law
By: Ethan Yang
Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote in his latest book that:
“Madison warned that what we call “the rule of law” depends on the existence of laws that are reasonably clear, finite, and stable. Only then can people plan their lives and order their affairs. The rule of law comes under threat, he warned, when the laws become “so voluminous, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood.”
Gorsuch published his book in 2019 and James Madison spoke those words over 200 years ago. Like most of the wisdom espoused by our Founding Fathers, such words were not just meant for the moment; they were meant for posterity. They knew that if this country was to last through the ages and not just one generation, eternal lessons regarding good government must be upheld.
The rule of law is an essential idea that forms the foundation of a free and prosperous society. Without it, the arbitrary hand of tyranny and incompetence is free to wreck the lives of everyday citizens. The United States Courts state that the Rule of law is a principle under which all persons, institutions, and entities are accountable to laws that are:
Publicly promulgated
Equally enforced
Independently adjudicated
And consistent with international human rights principles.
Essentially the rule of law dictates that nobody, not even our leaders, are above the law. That the Constitution, not the tyranny of the majority or the minority, reigns supreme. The rule of law allows a society to trust in its governing system, plan their lives without fear of arbitrary restrictions, and have confidence that contracts will be enforced. Such guarantees are responsible for modern prosperity. Economists such as Deirdre McCloskey cite the freedoms and security provided by ideas such as the rule of law as one of the primary reasons for the widespread prosperity we have today. Human history has been characterized by thousands of years of stagnation and suffering but within the past 200 years that changed for the better because of ideas such as the rule of law.
Why This Is Relevant Today
The rule of law is clearly the foundation of our republic; without it, modern society would cease to exist in short order. In the age of Covid-19 and lockdowns politicians have either attempted or have blatantly flouted the rule of law. They have acted as tyrants and not public servants by violating state constitutions as well as the federal constitution. They have exercised hypocrisy by flagrantly violating the laws and suggestions they write. Finally they have undermined the stability of our institutions by frantically and arbitrarily issuing new laws, causing mass confusion as well as hardship. Although it is important to respond to public health concerns such as Covid-19, it is important that our leaders do so in a way that is prudent and most importantly, legal.
Violations of Constitutional Limits
Constitutions serve as the laws that the government must abide by, for we are a nation of laws and not a nation of tyrants. The consent of the governed is made on the condition that those who exercise power over our lives do so within the boundaries set by a constitution which protects among other things, inalienable rights. Not only is there a direct correlation between prosperous societies and limited government, few people would consent to being governed by a dictator.
That is why it is so concerning that politicians across the country from governors to mayors have enacted policies that either violate protected rights or erode the constitutional protections that do so. Recently in Roman Catholic Diocese Of Brooklyn, New York v. Andrew M. Cuomo, Governor Of New York, the Supreme Court struck down a policy placing restrictions on houses of worship while neglecting to apply such restrictions to other establishments. Justice Gorsuch wrote a concurring opinion that begins
“Government is not free to disregard the First Amendment in times of crisis. At a minimum, that Amendment prohibits government officials from treating religious exercises worse than comparable secular activities, unless they are pursuing a compelling interest and using the least restrictive means available. See Church of Lukumi Babalu Aye, Inc. v. Hialeah, 508 U. S. 520, 546 (1993). Yet recently, during the COVID pandemic, certain States seem to have ignored these long-settled principles.”
There is no pandemic clause in the Constitution that allows governors to disregard rights explicitly outlined in the Bill of Rights in favor of arbitrary preferences on essential and nonessential businesses. There are certainly doctrines that give government the power to curtail rights such as the police power and precedent set by Jacobson v. Massachusetts but such policies must be narrowly tailored. Arbitrary restrictions such as those set by the Cuomo administration and governors across the country are unconstitutional and cannot be seen as “narrowly tailored.”
Justice Gorsuch elaborates on this when he writes in his concurring opinion,
“At the same time, the Governor has chosen to impose no capacity restrictions on certain businesses he considers “essential.” And it turns out the businesses the Governor considers essential include hardware stores, acupuncturists, and liquor stores. Bicycle repair shops, certain signage companies, accountants, lawyers, and insurance agents are all essential too. So, at least according to the Governor, it may be unsafe to go to church, but it is always fine to pick up another bottle of wine, shop for a new bike, or spend the afternoon exploring your distal points and meridians. Who knew public health would so perfectly align with secular convenience?”
Other examples of our leaders flouting the constitutional limits include the governor of Michigan attempting to unilaterally extend her emergency powers to continue her state’s lockdown against the wishes of the legislature. In Wisconsin, the governor and his unelected health department attempted to enact lockdown policies without any authority granted by the state legislature. Fortunately both governors were stopped by their state supreme courts but the list of those who have yet to be confronted is far too long.
Blatant Hypocrisy
Back in September I wrote an article covering a scandal where House Speaker Nancy Pelosi violated San Francisco restrictions on indoor hair salon services. Since then, such acts of hypocrisy and blatant violations of the law have increased in frequency.
As Governor Gavin Newsom placed California residents on lockdown, he attended a dinner at the Michelin-starred restaurant French Laundry, flouting many of his own policies. While the average American cannot make travel plans beyond a trip to the grocery store, a bipartisan and diverse group of legislators took a trip to Hawaii. While his residents were encouraged to stay home, the mayor of Austin, Texas took a trip to his daughter’s wedding in Cabo, Mexico. The mayor of Denver, Colorado flew to see family in Mississippi for Thanksgiving while urging residents to stay home. A little bit over a week ago, Los Angeles County closed outdoor dining but a member of the Board of Supervisors was spotted at a restaurant just hours after voting in favor of the dining ban.
Some of this is hypocrisy and some of it is blatantly against the very laws these politicians advocate for. Not only does this reduce long-term trust in the rule of law, but it also undermines the science they claim to support.
Confusing and Arbitrary Laws
Having coherent, reasonable, and consistent laws allows society to function with efficiency and clarity. The government flicking the light switch of normal life on and off whenever it feels like it is a quick way to undermine its legitimacy. The rule of law is undermined when the rules that govern society change frequently and arbitrarily because not only does it make laws hard to follow, it makes it seem like a big joke.
Los Angeles County’s recent dining ban and California’s 10PM-5AM curfew are but two of countless examples. Such rules only impose even more hardship on businesses large and small as well as all social functions. Businesses in LA county are subject to ever changing restrictions with the latest being a total ban on indoor and outdoor dining. First outdoor dining was permitted, then there was limited capacity, then a total ban. Such policies caught many restaurant owners by surprise as investments were made for continued outdoor dining only to be crushed shortly after. Meanwhile, some businesses like the film industry were deemed essential and allowed to not only stay open but set up outdoor dining venues for their employees.
The New York Times writes about about the highly confusing and arbitrary policies when they quote the California Restaurant Association stating
“As we’ve repeatedly said, their order was arbitrary and targeted restaurants unfairly, without supporting evidence,” Jot Condie, the president, said in a statement.
The controversial 3-2 vote to abruptly close outdoor dining was rightly met with intense criticism. It makes little sense given the scientific evidence as well as the economic considerations at play. It also adds to the growing frustration that Califorinians as well as citizens across the country are feeling when it comes to arbitrary and poorly justified restrictions.
Key Takeaways
This article is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to actions that not only fail to support public health but also undermine the rule of law. From a practical perspective, adhering to the rule of law is important because it is entirely possible and certainly preferable to uphold public health without undermining public trust in our institutions. Philosophically, the rule of law is important because governments that undermine or violate this principle will not exist for long.
Politicians across the country are slowly, in some cases aggressively, unraveling the rule of law through unwarranted exercise of power and poorly justified actions. From the exercise of power prohibited by state and federal constitutions, to blatant hypocrisy, to confusing and arbitrary laws, our system of good government is ailing. Lockdowns are the disease.
The solution is quite simple; end the lockdowns and adopt a strategy that does not encourage tyranny. If that’s too much, then at the very least follow the law and be consistent, especially if you were the one who advocated for it.
