Consider it the Event 201 of the electoral process , very telling and worth the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ‘ alarming ’ but properly anticipated chaos in the legal and political landscape .
Wow , what fortune tellers .
How did they know ?
“ At Dominion , we take great pride in the limited role we play in elections and we want to assure voters that they can have confidence in the accuracy and reliability of their voting systems , ” John Poulos , the CEO of Dominion Voting Systems said via Zoom , during a hearing on December 15th before a Michigan Senate Oversight Committee hearing .
Poulos attended the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ voters better understand the election software procedures .
This followed a few failed attempts to reach him by Republican State Rep. Matt Hall .
The previous day Republican electors in Michigan were blocked from entering the Capitol Building in Lansing to cast ballots opposing Democrat Joe Biden for president , a move that was supported by the GOP speaker of the House .
Poulos ’ appearance comes on the heels of a scathing forensics audit report that concluded Dominion was intentionally and purposefully designed with inherent errors to create systemic fraud and influence @ @ @ @ @ @ @ because of a supposed “ glitch ” in Antrim County where 6,000 votes were switched from Trump to Biden .
Forty-seven other counties also used the same Dominion Voting Systems .
You can read more on Antrim County and Dominion in previous Activist Post articles .
Based on their findings , the team from Allied Security Operations Group suggested that the Dominion Voting System should not be used in Michigan .
They also suggested that the results of Antrim County should not have been certified .
They examined compact flash cards used by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , USB memory sticks used by Dominion Voter Assist Terminals , and USB memory sticks used for the poll book , and performed forensic duplication on the county ’ s election management server , which was running Dominion Democracy Suite 5.5.3-002 .
Incidentally , Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson intervened to prevent the audit results from being released .
This prompted attorney Matthew DePerno , working on behalf of Plaintiff William Bailey , to file an emergency motion , requesting the judge unseal the results .
“ Let me start by saying @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to be credible , by a judge or election official , I am not aware of it , ” Poulos responded when Senator Michael MacDonald asked him whether it was possible for anything to have been manipulated .
In fact , he denied without exception all allegations related to machines and software used in elections .
He blamed any mistakes on “ human error , ” and “ lack of update ” or “ technical support.
” Poulos said the errors occurred in Antrim because they forgot to update their tabulators .
“ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stated in a court filing … ‘ the ( forensics ) report makes a series of unsupported conclusions , ascribes motives of fraud and obfuscation to processes that are easily explained as routine election procedures or error corrections…The reason we are now talking about Antrim County has to do with a series of human errors , ” he said .
But when asked if there is any method of voting that ’ s “ 100 % secure , ” back on January 9th , 2020 in sworn testimony before the House Administration Committee @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that an HBO documentary titled Kill Chain : The Cyber War On America ’ s Elections , released in March , openly outlines Dominion ’ s inherent vulnerabilities .
Also , a lengthy opinion and order from Judge Amy Totenberg in Curling v. Raffensperger , 2020 WL 5994029 , filed in October in Georgia , found “ extreme ” and unacceptable security risks in the Dominion system .
And Texas rejected certification of their Democracy Suite system on three occasions was denied certification .
Critics agree that the adjudication process is the simplest @ @ @ @ @ @ @ adjudication , usually conducted in batches , is when a potentially spoiled ballot is fixed and hence saved .
Instead of tossing ballots out , they are reversed and sent to adjudication for a decision by election personnel .
In Michigan , a staggering number of votes required adjudication .
For instance , in Central Lake Township , there were 1,222 ballots reversed out of 1,491 total ballots cast , resulting in an 81.96 % rejection rate .
In Antrim , the tabulation log for the forensic examination of the server from December @ @ @ @ @ @ @ events , of which 10,667 or 68.05 % of the events were recorded errors .
The allowable election error rate established by the Federal Election Commission guidelines is 1 in 250,000 ballots or 0.008 % .
The forensic report remarked that administrators could theoretically change results while adjudication files could be moved with no audit trail .
“ This was a 2020 issue not seen in previous election cycles still stored on the server , ” stated ASOG cofounder Russell Ramsland Jr , a former Reagan administration official who has worked for NASA @ @ @ @ @ @ @ errors in the system .
The intentional errors lead to bulk adjudication of ballots with no oversight , no transparency , or audit trail .
Our examination of the server logs indicates that this high error rate was incongruent with patterns from previous years.
” Ramsland added that attributing these issues to human error is not consistent with the forensic evaluation , which points more correctly to a systemic machine and/or software errors .
Incidentally , these errors occurred after the Antrim County Clerk provided a re-provisioned CF card with uploaded software for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The Dominion Voting System produced systemic errors and high error rates both prior to the update and after the update ; meaning the update ( or lack thereof ) was not the cause of errors .
Yet Poulos painted a different picture .
He insisted that errors occurred because of human oversight .
“ If all of the tabulators had been updated as per procedure , there wouldn ’ t have been any error in the unofficial reporting .
If public Logic and Accuracy testing had taken place , the error would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have been caught , prior to the election .
If steps weren ’ t specifically taken to salvage the already printed ballots , the system would not have allowed election officials to upload memory cards , and the reporting error never would have occurred.
” He went on to explain that Antrim hasn ’ t licensed their digital adjudication tool .
“ With digital adjudication , the original ballot is never changed , and a full audit trail shows the original image , shows who the bi-partisan adjudicators were and what they agreed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they made per State law.
” Counties that don ’ t use this software tool adjudicate manually by creating new ballots when needed .
“ In Antrim county , ballots are reconciled manually .
What the report is alleging is impossible because Antrim County does not license nor use digital adjudication , ” he stated during the hearing .
“ Furthermore , digital adjudication requires the use of ballot images .
Antrim County did not record absentee ballot images .
Any U.S. Election Assistance Commission ( EAC ) accredited voting systems testing laboratory @ @ @ @ @ @ @ verify whether adjudication is used by review of the database structure…The reason we are now talking about Antrim County has to do with a series of human errors.
” Significantly , the forensics report also discovered that the computer system showed vote adjudication logs for prior years ; but all adjudication log entries for the 2020 election cycle were missing .
Repeat , the logs were wiped to track voting changes , rendering them now impossible to audit .
Why are all server security logs prior to 11:03 pm on November 4 , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ security logs for the day after the election , on election day , and prior to election day are gone .
“ The lack of records prevents any form of audit accountability , and their conspicuous absence is extremely suspicious since the files exist for previous years using the same software .
Removal of these files violates state law and prevents a meaningful audit , even if the Secretary wanted to conduct an audit .
We must conclude that the 2020 election cycle records have been manually removed , ” reads the report @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as “ bizarre ” and “ entirely false , ” insisting that the paper ballots do match the machine totals ; therefore , no problems were identified with his software .
He also added that because there was no automated adjudication process , there were no logs that were missing .
“ In many circumstances , source code is delivered by hand by State certification officials.
” TRIES At The Ministry of Truth “ The Party controls and constructs all sources of information in Oceania , including the type of news and media @ @ @ @ @ @ @ These days , lies are weaved into truths .
I call them “ tries.
” In an information war , tries are very difficult to catch unless you pay very close attention , keep track of details , and connect the dots .
The Ministry of Truth is slick , vaporizing words and reality with warp speed .
With that said , many watching Poulos remarked that his testimony was rife with lies .
Some were a bit gentler .
“ He was very good at talking around issues , ” says Brenda @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Integrity Fund .
“ Things are now as clear as mud.
” One of the first red flags was when Polous said his company has been the target of a disinfo campaign that defies ‘ facts or logic.
’ “ Unfortunately , Dominion has recently been thrust into the national spotlight as part of a dangerous and reckless disinformation campaign aimed at sowing doubt and confusion over the 2020 presidential election…To date , no one has produced credible evidence of vote fraud or vote switching on Dominion systems because these things simply have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would affirm that plenty of credible evidence has been presented to at least beckon an investigation ; and that two , Dominion is the one helping spearhead a disinfo campaign , going as far as to say in a press release that this was “ the most secure election in U.S. history.
” Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson , a Democrat , also echoed this sentiment , following the forensic report , stating “ Let ’ s be clear : Michigan ’ s Nov. 3 general election in Michigan and across the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nation ’ s history .
There continues to be no evidence of widespread fraud.
” At this stage , these statements don ’ t reflect well .
Incidentally , Benson also said that questioning the election is akin to attacking democracy .
Many many others , included the mainstream media , have also parroted this notion .
“ Amplifying these obviously false narratives about fraud or irregularities corrodes public trust ; it threatens national security ; and it weakens our democracy and our standing around the world , ” said Senator Gary Peters @ @ @ @ @ @ @ GOP-controlled Senate committee .
These sentiments are dead wrong and arguably dangerous .
A democratic process invites others to ask questions , and a robust and uninhibited debate is crucial , as is a fair and unfettered marketplace for info .
That is why we have the Bill of Rights in the form of the First Amendment .
“ Calling anyone who is using their God-given right to speak out that is enshrined in our Constitution about anything as attacking democracy is just plain silly , ” writes Podcast producer and host LADuke @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Keep making sure that your voices are heard in a strong firm way with no hint of anger or escalating to violence .
That is about the most patriotic thing you can do in this democracy ( actually republic ) that most of us love and cherish.
” Poulos also stated that when there is a digital adjudication process , there will be a computer connected to the tabulator , and it will record an image of the ballot , for auditing purposes .
He reiterated that Antrim ’ s tabulators were not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Dominion voting machines were connected to the Internet , according to whistleblower Mellissa Carone who worked at the TCF Center in Detroit .
She said she was actually given a binder that included information on how “ the machines were connected to the Wi-Fi.
” “ All the tabulator computers were connected via Ethernet cables to a network router , ” adds Patrick Colbeck .
“ And that router , in turn , was connected to another router that was connected to the adjudicators .
Those were connected to another router/firewall which was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ connected to the local data center.
” Meanwhile , fired Director of Cyber Security Chris Krebs told the US Senate Homeland Security Committee on Wednesday December 16th that some Dominion Voting Machines were connected to the Internet .
Krebs , who has worked for Microsoft , debunked some of the claims in the report saying they were “ misinterpreted.
” Next , Poulos said that Dominion doesn ’ t use “ SolarWinds ” for its monitoring system in his hearing .
“ Dominion Voting Systems has not now , nor has it ever @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was the subject of DHS emergency declaration dated December 13 2020 .
SolarWwinds was involved in one of the most sophisticated and perhaps largest hacks , involving the Treasury and Commerce Departments .
“ Now we know why Dominion deleted ‘ “ SolarWinds ’ ” from their website , ” wrote former 8kun admin CodeMonkey .
Many of us visited the site and saw the SolarWinds logo on Dominion ’ s page until it soon disappeared .
“ This guy is a wordsmithing liar , ” remarked another person on Twitter .
Finally @ @ @ @ @ @ @ voting systems in 28 U.S. states , and Dominion asserted in an opinion piece that “ Dominion is a nonpartisan , American company , ” while Polous neglected to say that he is a Canadian citizen who donates exclusively to liberal parties and politicians .
Another critique was that the senators lacked the level of technology needed to properly question Poulos .
“ The attendees just took the CEO ’ s responses at face value ; no challenges .
Disgusting , ” wrote one person on Twitter .
Another person added , “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bunch that were not up to speed with technology asking the questions .
Kind of a wasted opportunity.
” Patrick Colbeck , a former Michigan state senator , governor candidate , and founder of Let ’ s Fix It , agrees that the substantial questions that needed to be asked , were not .
This is despite the fact that he himself made a concerted effort to collect tech-based questions addressing the forensics report and Dominion , and supplied them to the senators .
While the senators did ask a few questions , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
More scrutiny was required since this wasn ’ t ‘ just an add water ’ type of election process , ” added Colbeck who served for two terms as Michigan state senator from the northwestern portion of Wayne County , which includes Detroit .
He also spent 24 hours as a GOP poll watcher at the TCF Center in downtown Detroit .
Following the Senate Oversight Committee hearing , Lisa Lyons of Kent County put out a statement : But per the Constitution , President Trump can still win this election , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Jenna Ellis argues that President Donald Trump still has time to challenge the election results and that state legislatures still have time to decide which set of votes from dueling slates of delegates to send to Congress on Jan. 6 , the day when the Electoral College votes are counted .
Texas electors voted 34-4 to call on Legislatures in Pennsylvania , Georgia , Michigan and Wisconsin — whose election results handed the White House at Joe Biden — to appoint their own electors .
Seven states will be bringing forth their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ January 6th — when the official electoral votes are counted — more fraud could be uncovered .
Watch Attorney Matthew DePerno and I discuss the results of the Dominion Voting Systems forensic audit from Antrim County , Michigan .
Only one senator is needed to bring forth debate .
Rand Paul may join Congressman Mo Brooks , who has already filed an objection to electoral votes .
“ We ’ ll make our decision after we ’ ve seen all the legal challenges , ” Paul recently said .
In the interim , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lawsuit .
And Michigan officials are working to reverse redacted portions of the forensics report from Antrim that Assistant Attorney General Erik Gill successfully pursued , under the premise that the data uncovered “ source code ” proprietary to Dominion .
“ Analysts assert that this data was merely configuration settings not source code , ” adds Colbeck .
“ But , if so , Mr. Gill may have inadvertently added fuel to the fire of violations of the Help America Vote Act if any of this “ source code ” was modified @ @ @ @ @ @ @ recertification of the software.
” Colbeck analyzed and commented on the data in the report on his site .
There he remarks that the Dominion Rank Choice Voting algorithm , allowing a percentage of votes to be shifted from one candidate to another candidate resulting in “ fractional votes , ” was indeed “ enabled.
” Under oath , Poulos stated that “ there is no algorithm that enabled ‘ fractional ’ voting.
” I will leave you with two of the many insightful possibilities projected by the Integrity Transition Project : “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ encouraging the state legislatures in Pennsylvania , Wisconsin and Michigan to certify a separate slate of electors in support of President Trump .
Despite opposition from the Biden Campaign and Democrats , both Michigan and Pennsylvania ’ s legislators agree to send two sets of electors in support of Trump.
” “ The outcome of the scenario hinged on how the elected officials from the two parties addressed the separate slate of electors from Michigan .
GOP officials asserted that as the President of the Senate , Vice President Pence could legally choose @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wished .
There was no clear resolution of the conflict in the January 6 joint session of Congress ; the partisans on both sides were still claiming victory , leading to the problem of two claims to Commander-in-Chief power ( including access to the nuclear codes ) at noon on January 20.

Dominion & More Mischief & Miffs In Michigan
“At Dominion, we take great pride in the limited role we play in elections and we want to assure voters that they can have confidence in the accuracy and reliability of their voting systems,” John Poulos, the CEO of Dominion Voting Systems said via Zoom, during a hearing on December 15th before a Michigan Senate Oversight Committee hearing.
Poulos attended the nearly three-hour hearing to help lawmakers and voters better understand the election software procedures. This followed a few failed attempts to reach him by Republican State Rep. Matt Hall.
The previous day Republican electors in Michigan were blocked from entering the Capitol Building in Lansing to cast ballots opposing Democrat Joe Biden for president, a move that was supported by the GOP speaker of the House.
Poulos’ appearance comes on the heels of a scathing forensics audit report that concluded Dominion was intentionally and purposefully designed with inherent errors to create systemic fraud and influence election results. The audit was prompted because of a supposed “glitch” in Antrim County where 6,000 votes were switched from Trump to Biden. Forty-seven other counties also used the same Dominion Voting Systems.

Based on their findings, the team from Allied Security Operations Group suggested that the Dominion Voting System should not be used in Michigan. They also suggested that the results of Antrim County should not have been certified.

Incidentally, Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson intervened to prevent the audit results from being released. This prompted attorney Matthew DePerno, working on behalf of Plaintiff William Bailey, to file an emergency motion, requesting the judge unseal the results.
Human Errors VS A Design For Fraud
“Let me start by saying that if any testimony has been found to be credible, by a judge or election official, I am not aware of it,” Poulos responded when Senator Michael MacDonald asked him whether it was possible for anything to have been manipulated.
In fact, he denied without exception all allegations related to machines and software used in elections. He blamed any mistakes on “human error,” and “lack of update” or “technical support.” Poulos said the errors occurred in Antrim because they forgot to update their tabulators.

But when asked if there is any method of voting that’s “100% secure,” back on January 9th, 2020 in sworn testimony before the House Administration Committee, he said “No.”
Consider that an HBO documentary titled Kill Chain: The Cyber War On America’s Elections, released in March, openly outlines Dominion’s inherent vulnerabilities.
Also, a lengthy opinion and order from Judge Amy Totenberg in Curling v. Raffensperger, 2020 WL 5994029, filed in October in Georgia, found “extreme” and unacceptable security risks in the Dominion system. And Texas rejected certification of their Democracy Suite system on three occasions was denied certification.

Flagged For Adjudication In Antrim
Critics agree that the adjudication process is the simplest way to manually manipulate votes. Basically adjudication, usually conducted in batches, is when a potentially spoiled ballot is fixed and hence saved. Instead of tossing ballots out, they are reversed and sent to adjudication for a decision by election personnel.
In Michigan, a staggering number of votes required adjudication. For instance, in Central Lake Township, there were 1,222 ballots reversed out of 1,491 total ballots cast, resulting in an 81.96% rejection rate. In Antrim, the tabulation log for the forensic examination of the server from December 6, 2020 consisted of 15,676 individual events, of which 10,667 or 68.05% of the events were recorded errors. The allowable election error rate established by the Federal Election Commission guidelines is 1 in 250,000 ballots or 0.008%.
The forensic report remarked that administrators could theoretically change results while adjudication files could be moved with no audit trail.
“This was a 2020 issue not seen in previous election cycles still stored on the server,” stated ASOG cofounder Russell Ramsland Jr, a former Reagan administration official who has worked for NASA. “This is caused by intentional errors in the system. The intentional errors lead to bulk adjudication of ballots with no oversight, no transparency, or audit trail. Our examination of the server logs indicates that this high error rate was incongruent with patterns from previous years.”
Ramsland added that attributing these issues to human error is not consistent with the forensic evaluation, which points more correctly to a systemic machine and/or software errors.
Incidentally, these errors occurred after the Antrim County Clerk provided a re-provisioned CF card with uploaded software for the Central Lake Precinct on November 6th. The Dominion Voting System produced systemic errors and high error rates both prior to the update and after the update; meaning the update (or lack thereof) was not the cause of errors.
Yet Poulos painted a different picture. He insisted that errors occurred because of human oversight.
“If all of the tabulators had been updated as per procedure, there wouldn’t have been any error in the unofficial reporting. If public Logic and Accuracy testing had taken place, the error would’ve been caught when it should have been caught, prior to the election. If steps weren’t specifically taken to salvage the already printed ballots, the system would not have allowed election officials to upload memory cards, and the reporting error never would have occurred.”
He went on to explain that Antrim hasn’t licensed their digital adjudication tool. “With digital adjudication, the original ballot is never changed, and a full audit trail shows the original image, shows who the bi-partisan adjudicators were and what they agreed on, and ultimately captures any changes they made per State law.”
Counties that don’t use this software tool adjudicate manually by creating new ballots when needed.
“In Antrim county, ballots are reconciled manually. What the report is alleging is impossible because Antrim County does not license nor use digital adjudication,” he stated during the hearing. “Furthermore, digital adjudication requires the use of ballot images. Antrim County did not record absentee ballot images. Any U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) accredited voting systems testing laboratory (VSTL) can easily and independently verify whether adjudication is used by review of the database structure…The reason we are now talking about Antrim County has to do with a series of human errors.”
Significantly, the forensics report also discovered that the computer system showed vote adjudication logs for prior years; but all adjudication log entries for the 2020 election cycle were missing. Repeat, the logs were wiped to track voting changes, rendering them now impossible to audit. Why are all server security logs prior to 11:03 pm on November 4, 2020 missing?
This means that all security logs for the day after the election, on election day, and prior to election day are gone.
“The lack of records prevents any form of audit accountability, and their conspicuous absence is extremely suspicious since the files exist for previous years using the same software. Removal of these files violates state law and prevents a meaningful audit, even if the Secretary wanted to conduct an audit. We must conclude that the 2020 election cycle records have been manually removed,” reads the report.
Poulos chalked up all adjudication claims as “bizarre” and “entirely false,” insisting that the paper ballots do match the machine totals; therefore, no problems were identified with his software. He also added that because there was no automated adjudication process, there were no logs that were missing. “In many circumstances, source code is delivered by hand by State certification officials.”
TRIES At The Ministry of Truth

Who believes #JohnPoulos is a liar?

These days, lies are weaved into truths. I call them “tries.” In an information war, tries are very difficult to catch unless you pay very close attention, keep track of details, and connect the dots. The Ministry of Truth is slick, vaporizing words and reality with warp speed.
With that said, many watching Poulos remarked that his testimony was rife with lies. Some were a bit gentler.
“He was very good at talking around issues,” says Brenda Savage, a spokesperson for the Election Integrity Fund. “Things are now as clear as mud.”
One of the first red flags was when Polous said his company has been the target of a disinfo campaign that defies ‘facts or logic.’
“Unfortunately, Dominion has recently been thrust into the national spotlight as part of a dangerous and reckless disinformation campaign aimed at sowing doubt and confusion over the 2020 presidential election…To date, no one has produced credible evidence of vote fraud or vote switching on Dominion systems because these things simply have not occurred.”
DOMINION.🚨 After watching Dominion CEO’s testimony to Michigan state legislature today, I decided to fact check his testimony. There were *just so many LIES*! Here is what I got so far..🔻 pic.twitter.com/MEnxjYj76n — Kyle Becker (@kylenabecker) December 16, 2020
Critics, however, would affirm that plenty of credible evidence has been presented to at least beckon an investigation; and that two, Dominion is the one helping spearhead a disinfo campaign, going as far as to say in a press release that this was “the most secure election in U.S. history.”
Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, a Democrat, also echoed this sentiment, following the forensic report, stating “Let’s be clear: Michigan’s Nov. 3 general election in Michigan and across the country was the most secure in the nation’s history. There continues to be no evidence of widespread fraud.”
At this stage, these statements don’t reflect well.
Incidentally, Benson also said that questioning the election is akin to attacking democracy. Many many others, included the mainstream media, have also parroted this notion.
“Amplifying these obviously false narratives about fraud or irregularities corrodes public trust; it threatens national security; and it weakens our democracy and our standing around the world,” said Senator Gary Peters on Wednesday December 16th, before a GOP-controlled Senate committee.
These sentiments are dead wrong and arguably dangerous. A democratic process invites others to ask questions, and a robust and uninhibited debate is crucial, as is a fair and unfettered marketplace for info. That is why we have the Bill of Rights in the form of the First Amendment.
“Calling anyone who is using their God-given right to speak out that is enshrined in our Constitution about anything as attacking democracy is just plain silly,” writes Podcast producer and host LADuke in an article in RedState. “Keep making sure that your voices are heard in a strong firm way with no hint of anger or escalating to violence. That is about the most patriotic thing you can do in this democracy (actually republic) that most of us love and cherish.”
Poulos also stated that when there is a digital adjudication process, there will be a computer connected to the tabulator, and it will record an image of the ballot, for auditing purposes. He reiterated that Antrim’s tabulators were not connected to the Internet.
However, Dominion voting machines were connected to the Internet, according to whistleblower Melissa Carone who worked at the TCF Center in Detroit. She said she was actually given a binder that included information on how “the machines were connected to the Wi-Fi.”
“All the tabulator computers were connected via Ethernet cables to a network router,” adds Patrick Colbeck, a former Michigan state senator, governor candidate, and founder of Let’s Fix It. “And that router, in turn, was connected to another router that was connected to the adjudicators. Those were connected to another router/firewall which was connected to the Internet, which was connected to the local data center.”
Meanwhile, fired Director of Cyber Security Chris Krebs told the US Senate Homeland Security Committee on Wednesday December 16th that some Dominion Voting Machines were connected to the Internet. Krebs, who has worked for Microsoft, debunked some of the claims in the report saying they were “misinterpreted.”
Next, Poulos said that Dominion doesn’t use “SolarWinds” for its monitoring system in his hearing.
“Dominion Voting Systems has not now, nor has it ever used SolarWinds Orion platform,” which was the subject of DHS emergency declaration dated December 13 2020. SolarWwinds was involved in one of the most sophisticated and perhaps largest hacks, involving the Treasury and Commerce Departments.

“This guy is a wordsmithing liar,” remarked another person on Twitter.
Finally, Poulos also said that Dominion runs voting systems in 28 U.S. states, and Dominion asserted in an opinion piece that “Dominion is a nonpartisan, American company,” while Polous neglected to say that he is a Canadian citizen who donates exclusively to liberal parties and politicians.
Another critique was that the senators lacked the level of technology needed to properly question Poulos.
“The attendees just took the CEO’s responses at face value; no challenges. Disgusting,” wrote one person on Twitter. Another person added, “yep, too bad we had a bunch that were not up to speed with technology asking the questions. Kind of a wasted opportunity.”
Patrick Colbeck agrees that the substantial questions that needed to be asked, were not. This is despite the fact that he himself made a concerted effort to collect tech-based questions addressing the forensics report and Dominion, and supplied them to the senators. While the senators did ask a few questions, they were not able to follow up.
More scrutiny was required since this wasn’t ‘just an add water’ type of election process,” added Colbeck who served for two terms as Michigan state senator from the northwestern portion of Wayne County, which includes Detroit. He also spent 24 hours as a GOP poll watcher at the TCF Center in downtown Detroit.
Game One: Ambiguous Result
Following the Senate Oversight Committee hearing, Lisa Lyons of Kent County put out a statement:
Today’s testimony … should put to rest the false claims of tabulator manipulation in the November Election…Simply put: Tabulators don’t run elections. Clerks, staff, and election workers from our communities who take an Oath to uphold the Constitution run our elections, and in Michigan we run them using paper ballots that can be re-counted and audited…The spread of misinformation about this election must stop now, so that we can turn our attention to the real concerns that need to be addressed to ensure integrity in our elections.
But per the Constitution, President Trump can still win this election, despite what the mainstream media tells you.
Jenna Ellis argues that President Donald Trump still has time to challenge the election results and that state legislatures still have time to decide which set of votes from dueling slates of delegates to send to Congress on Jan. 6, the day when the Electoral College votes are counted.
Texas electors voted 34-4 to call on Legislatures in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin — whose election results handed the White House at Joe Biden — to appoint their own electors. Seven states will be bringing forth their own slate of electors, and until January 6th — when the official electoral votes are counted — more fraud could be uncovered.
Watch Attorney Matthew DePerno and I discuss the results of the Dominion Voting Systems forensic audit from Antrim County, Michigan.

Only one senator is needed to bring forth debate.
Rand Paul may join Congressman Mo Brooks, who has already filed an objection to electoral votes.
“We’ll make our decision after we’ve seen all the legal challenges,” Paul recently said.
In the interim, SCOTUS has docketed the Sidney Powell Michigan lawsuit. And Michigan officials are working to reverse redacted portions of the forensics report from Antrim that Assistant Attorney General Erik Gill successfully pursued, under the premise that the data uncovered “source code” proprietary to Dominion.
“Analysts assert that this data was merely configuration settings not source code,” adds Colbeck. “But, if so, Mr. Gill may have inadvertently added fuel to the fire of violations of the Help America Vote Act if any of this “source code” was modified within 90 days of the election without recertification of the software.”
Colbeck analyzed and commented on the data in the report on his site. There he remarks that the Dominion Rank Choice Voting algorithm, allowing a percentage of votes to be shifted from one candidate to another candidate resulting in “fractional votes,” was indeed “enabled.” Under oath, Poulos stated that “there is no algorithm that enabled ‘fractional’ voting.”
In 2016, Trump won Michigan by 10,704 votes.
I will leave you with two of the many insightful possibilities projected by the Integrity Transition Project:
“The Trump Campaign began the game by encouraging the state legislatures in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan to certify a separate slate of electors in support of President Trump. Despite opposition from the Biden Campaign and Democrats, both Michigan and Pennsylvania’s legislators agree to send two sets of electors in support of Trump.”
“The outcome of the scenario hinged on how the elected officials from the two parties addressed the separate slate of electors from Michigan. GOP officials asserted that as the President of the Senate, Vice President Pence could legally choose to accept or reject electors as he wished. There was no clear resolution of the conflict in the January 6 joint session of Congress; the partisans on both sides were still claiming victory, leading to the problem of two claims to Commander-in-Chief power (including access to the nuclear codes) at noon on January 20.”
Here is the redacted Antrim forensic report.

The K-shaped recovery took another big step forward today when – with stocks at all-time highs and bitcoin exchange Coinbase announcing it is filing for a confidential IPO – one of the most iconic US companies, Coca-Cola, said it was cutting 2,200 jobs globally, including 1,200 in the US, as the coronavirus pandemic forces the soda giant to restructure, i.e., slash costs. The reductions amount to roughly 12% of the company’s US workforce.
Coke will make the job cuts through a combination of buyouts and layoffs, a spokesman told the WSJ. In August, Coke offered voluntary-separation packages to about 4,000 employees in the U.S. and Canada, but it hasn’t said how many people participated.
The Atlanta-based company, which had 86,000 employees at the start of the year, has been slashing expenses and products amid the covid-induced wasteland that has resulted in closures of restaurants, bars, movie theaters and sports stadiums. In Q3, Coke reported $8.7 billion in revenue, down 9% Y/Y while profit fell a third from a year ago to $1.74 billion.
According to the Journal, Coke’s North America business unit will be reorganized to look more like other units around the world, by which it means “streamlined” in order to eliminate unnecessary overhead.
Until now in North America, the company’s fountain-machine business, bottle-and-can business and Minute Maid operations each had their own teams for marketing, communicating with retailers and coordinating with bottlers. Those teams will be consolidated, the company said.
Coke expects the job cuts to result in annual savings of between $350 million and $550 million, the spokesman said. The latest cuts include about 500 jobs in the Atlanta metro area, where the company is based.
In addition to the layoffs, Coke previously said it would also slash its 430 master brands by about half, to 200, narrowing its beverage portfolio to products that are growing and can achieve a large scale. The company is also retiring its Tab soda and Zico coconut water brands, and earlier this year closed its Odwalla juice and smoothie business.
The restructuring won’t affect Coke’s bottling operations, which are mostly independent. Those bottlers employ hundreds of thousands of people around the globe.
The restructuring will allow the company to function more like a network needing “less decision making, less bureaucracy and ultimately less people,” Coke finance chief John Murphy said in a November interview. When a company faces such an immediate disruption in sales, “it really forces you to re-evaluate through a more stringent lens,” he said, referring to the blow to Coke’s business from the pandemic.

Infamous Canadian fashion magnate and accused sex trafficker Peter Nygard was arrested in Canada after years of allegations that he raped and trafficked young girls.
On Monday, Canadian authorities arrested fashion mogul Peter Nygard after he was indicted in Manhattan on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering. The arrest comes as a result of an extradition treaty between Canada and the U.S., where Nygard faces allegations of rape and trafficking. Nygard’s story bears a disturbing resemblance to the case of serial sex abuser Jeffrey Epstein.
The CBC reports:
“According to the affidavit, evidence gathered in the U.S. includes interviews with more than two dozen people. ‘The investigation shows that Nygard’s criminal conduct has affected hundreds of victims,’ the affidavit says. ‘The harm to his victims has included not only economic and psychological harm but also numerous instances of non-consensual sex, including non-consensual group sex, attempted forcible rapes and drugging of victims.’”

Since the early 2000s, Nygard has been plagued by accusations of trafficking and sexual assault of dozens of women and girls at his homes in the U.S., Canada, and his private island in the Bahamas, Nygard Cay. Fifty-seven women are now accusing Nygard of using violence, intimidation, and his vast resources to entice victims and cover up his actions.
The U.S. federal government has been investigating Nygard for trafficking accusations since at least 2015. In February, 10 anonymous women filed a federal lawsuit accusing Nygard of a “decades-long sex-trafficking scheme.” After the February allegations authorities raided Nygard’s home in Los Angeles and his offices in New York City.
Nygard has also been accused of rape by his own sons. In August, two of his sons accused their father of arranging for them to be raped when they were children. After the arrest, Nygard’s son, Kai Bickle Nygard , told the CBC, “I’m just absolutely thrilled to find out that he’s going to have to face a trial and go through the judicial process and not be able to just take off with a pot of money offshore somewhere.”
The current accusations against Nygard are not the first. As The Mind Unleashed noted, “in 2005, the Finnish newspaper Iltalehti published an article about sex parties at Nygård’s mansion, and featured a short interview with actress Jessica Alba where she said she had to leave a party at the mansion because she was so uncomfortable with what was taking place. She mentioned the presence of young girls at the party as well. Nygård sued the parent company of the paper Alma Media for slander in Los Angeles but lost the case.”
Canada’s Jeffrey Epstein
As with disgraced serial abuser Jeffrey Epstein, Nygard is accused of targeting victims who came from low income families and disadvantaged backgrounds, promising them money and modeling contracts. The suit alleges that Nygard kept a database of “potential victims” on Nygard International company servers. The list reportedly contained the names of over 7,500 women and girls.
Peter Nygard’s victims say that he would use alcohol, drugs, and intimidation to coerce them into having sex. Some of the victims claim to have been as young as 14 years old when the rapes took place. Many of the victims also allege that Nygard flew them to his private island in the Bahamas, known as Nygard Cay. Nygard would reportedly hold onto the victims’ passports and “expected a sex act before he was willing to consider releasing any person.”
The New York Post reported Nygard’s house manager, Richette Ross, stated his employees used Facebook posts and messages to promote his so-called “pamper parties,” where he offered “free dinners, massages, pedicures, and boat rides” to guests. Ross said that once guests arrived they would be photographed and placed into Nygard’s database to be rated for their beauty. Ross says Nygard was apparently a fan of “a nice toilet … a nice ass. It had to be big and round.”
As with Epstein, Nygard also had a litany of famous friends who were often photographed celebrating with him or spending time on his island. Some of the people pictured with Nygard include Richard Branson, Bill Gates, Robert DeNiro, and former U.S. President George H.W. Bush and Former First Lady Barbara Bush. Additionally, Nygard’s employee Richette Ross told the NY Post she was “personally tasked with putting together payoffs” for high-ranking members of Canada’s Progressive Liberal Party. Ross said she saw “stacks of $10,000 bundles from the bank stuffed into bags for delivery.” Ross also alleges that Nygard was forced to get creative to hide the payoffs, at one point hiding $100,000 in $10,000 bundles inside an order of “very large fish.”
The Daily Mail also notes that Nygard and Jeffrey Epstein shared a mutual friend, Britain’s Prince Andrew, the Duke of York. Andrew reportedly visited Nygard’s island in 2000, shortly after Nygard agreed to settle out of court with three employees who accused him of sexual harassment. While Andrew has not been accused of wrongdoing by Nygard’s victims, he continues to face allegations of having sex with minors in connection to Jeffrey Epstein.
Victims and former employees state that Nygard seemed obsessed with slowing down the aging process and stem cell research, another similarity to Epstein. Journalist Melissa Cronin reported that Nygard established a stem cell research company in St. Kitts with the goal of using aborted fetuses from pregnant women to provide him with fresh stem cells.
According to Cronin, one of Nygard’s girlfriends, Instagram model Suelyn Medeiros, wrote in her 2014 memoir that Nygard had encouraged her to get pregnant and then have an abortion so “we could use those embryonic cells and have a life’s supply for all of us: you, your mother and me.” Medeiros says she declined Nygard’s proposition.
The Fashion to Sexual Assault Pipeline
Another commonality between Jeffrey Epstein and Peter Nygard is their connection to and affinity for young female models. As a fashion mogul, Nygard was often surrounded by young attractive women and the lawsuits allege that he used his connections to recruit women into his sexual schemes. This explains Nygard’s connection to Instagram model Suelyn Medeiros. She is now facing her own legal trouble as she has been named as a co-conspirator in the lawsuit.
According to Epstein’s victims, manipulating and recruiting aspiring models is a formula that he also perfected. Epstein’s main source of income was often believed to be Les Wexner, the owner of the Limited Brands. As I previously noted, “over the years some reporters have examined the Wexner-Epstein connection and found that Wexner may have been Epstein’s only financial client and that they had an intriguing relationship that no one could quite figure out.”
Beyond the financial connection, Wexner also appears to have been one of the sources of young women for Jeffrey Epstein. Specifically, Wexner’s Limited Brands owns Victoria’s Secret which hosts the annual Victoria’s Secret Fashion Shows, itself a prime source for young girls for Epstein, Wexner, and imprisoned co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell.
Another Epstein associate who is accused of recruiting young girls via the modeling and fashion industry is Jean-Luc Brunel, the former head of modeling agencies Karin Models and MC2. Brunel has been accused of sexual abuse for decades. In 1988, CBS’ 60 Minutes reported on the accusations against Brunel in a rare tv broadcast titled, American Girls in Paris. Brunel faced no charges or legitimate investigation against him until the arrest of Jeffrey Epstein in July 2019. After Epstein’s arrest investigators attempted to zero in on Brunel, who had all but disappeared from public life. In September 2019, The Cut reported:
“In the time that Brunel was missing, the allegations against him only mounted: In mid-August, two models accused Brunel of sexual assault, which in part compelled French officials to launch a criminal investigation into charges that Brunel had sexually assaulted women and minors in France. Then, on September 24, le Parisien reported that Brunel had been found in South America, after weeks of being in hiding.”
The horrid tales of rape and abuse of aspiring models at the hands of Nygard, Epstein, Maxwell, and Brunel make it clear that some in the millionaire, billionaire class believe they are above the law and beyond accountability. For this “Predator Class,” young men and women are simply objects to be used, abused, and thrown away when they are no longer useful. The revealing of the exploits of these criminals is one more piece of evidence indicating that extremely wealthy and powerful people – connected to Hollywood, politicians, and other influencers – are involved in various methods of sexual abuse, trafficking, and exploitation of vulnerable individuals. Only by continuing to expose and confront this dark reality can we ever hope to end these despicable acts and bring those involved to justice.

activistpost--2020-12-17--Winter Is Coming: 62% Of U.S. Small Business Owners “Fear The Worst Is Still To Come”

The official start of winter is just a few days away , and many small business owners are concerned that their businesses won ’ t be able to make it to the start of spring .
This is particularly true for those small businesses that rely on face to face interaction with the general public .
Restaurants , bars , gyms , coffee shops , hairdressers and independent retailers all over the nation were absolutely devastated by the first round of lockdowns , and now a new round of lockdowns is dealing death blows to countless businesses that had hoped @ @ @ @ @ @ @ get back on their feet in 2021 .
Politicians such as California Governor Gavin Newsom and New York Governor Andrew Cuomo don ’ t seem to care that they are literally destroying millions of hopes and dreams .
If and when this pandemic finally ends , they will get to go on with their normal lives , but vast numbers of their constituents will not .
According to a brand new U.S. Chamber-MetLife poll of small businesses , just 40 percent of all U.S. small business owners “ believe their small businesses can @ @ @ @ @ @ @ going right now , and a whopping 62 percent of them are convinced that “ the worst is still to come ” … Those numbers are consistent with what other recent surveys of small businesses have shown .
There are approximately 30 million small businesses in the United States today , and so that means that if even a third of them were forced to close down permanently we would lose 10 million small businesses .
Can you imagine what that would mean for the economy as a whole ?
That same U.S. @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that 74 percent of all U.S. small business owners “ need further government assistance to weather the pandemic ” … And when most of those small business owners say that they are in desperate need of help , they are not kidding .
According to the most recent Alignable rent survey , 35 percent of all small businesses in the United States “ couldn ’ t pay their rent this month ” … • Several B2C industries are devastated – 61 % of restaurants can ’ t pay their rent this month .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ 42 % in November .
• 35 % of U.S. small businesses couldn ’ t pay their rent this month , up 3 % from 32 % in November .
• Beauty salons ( 46 % ) and travel/hospitality businesses ( 43 % ) round out the Top 3 most-affected businesses , but many others are in trouble .
• Looking at demographics , minority-owned businesses are suffering the most , as 49 % of them reported that they could not afford their rent in December .
That figure is 5 % higher @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Women-owned businesses are also struggling ( 38 % of those have not paid their rent , up 3 % from 35 % last month ) .
This isn ’ t what a “ recession ” looks like .

The official start of winter is just a few days away, and many small business owners are concerned that their businesses won’t be able to make it to the start of spring. This is particularly true for those small businesses that rely on face to face interaction with the general public. Restaurants, bars, gyms, coffee shops, hairdressers and independent retailers all over the nation were absolutely devastated by the first round of lockdowns, and now a new round of lockdowns is dealing death blows to countless businesses that had hoped to find a way to heal and get back on their feet in 2021. Politicians such as California Governor Gavin Newsom and New York Governor Andrew Cuomo don’t seem to care that they are literally destroying millions of hopes and dreams. If and when this pandemic finally ends, they will get to go on with their normal lives, but vast numbers of their constituents will not.
According to a brand new U.S. Chamber-MetLife poll of small businesses, just 40 percent of all U.S. small business owners “believe their small businesses can operate indefinitely” the way things are going right now, and a whopping 62 percent of them are convinced that “the worst is still to come”…
The quarterly poll found that the 62% of small-business owners fear that the worst is still to come with COVID-19’s economic impact. Only 40% said they believe their small businesses can operate indefinitely during the current business environment.
Those numbers are consistent with what other recent surveys of small businesses have shown.
There are approximately 30 million small businesses in the United States today, and so that means that if even a third of them were forced to close down permanently we would lose 10 million small businesses.
Can you imagine what that would mean for the economy as a whole?
That same U.S. Chamber-MetLife poll of small businesses also found that 74 percent of all U.S. small business owners “need further government assistance to weather the pandemic”…
A new U.S. Chamber-MetLife poll of small businesses taken from Oct. 30-Nov. 10 and released on Tuesday showed that 74% of the owners said they need further government assistance to weather the pandemic. That percentage rises to 81% for minority-owned businesses.
And when most of those small business owners say that they are in desperate need of help, they are not kidding.
According to the most recent Alignable rent survey, 35 percent of all small businesses in the United States “couldn’t pay their rent this month”…
Several B2C industries are devastated – 61% of restaurants can’t pay their rent this month. That’s up 19% from 42% in November.

We can see more evidence of economic collapse when we look at federal tax receipts.
The pandemic hit the economy in March, triggering widespread job loss and partial and full closing of many small businesses. In November, 9 months into the pandemic, federal gross withheld income tax receipts were off 13% from a year ago. That is roughly in line with the average decline of 15% recorded over the 9-month span, March through November. Checking the tax data records from the US Treasury the decline in tax receipts over the last 9 months is the largest on record. The only comparable period is the 14% drop in 2009 during the Great Financial Recession.
In other words, we have never seen anything like this before.
And with each passing day, more Americans are falling out of the middle class and into poverty.
In fact, nearly 8 million more Americans have fallen into poverty just since the month of June…
The U.S. poverty rate has surged over the past five months, with 7.8 million Americans falling into poverty, the latest indication of how deeply many are struggling after government aid dwindled. The poverty rate jumped to 11.7 percent in November, up 2.4 percentage points since June, according to new data released Wednesday by researchers at the University of Chicago and the University of Notre Dame.
Things are getting worse, and it is happening very rapidly.
Everywhere you look there are tragic stories. The other day I was deeply saddened when I heard that a 2-year-old boy had been abandoned at a Goodwill store. When people feel like they are out of options, they can get very desperate, and desperate people do desperate things.
At this point, things are so bad that they are even setting up food banks on U.S. military bases…
Fort Bragg, the largest military base in the United States, has all the trappings of a small American city: shopping centers, a barber shop and social clubs. In a sign of the times, it also has a food bank. This spring, the Y.M.C.A. on base — which started a food pantry last year to respond to the growing food insecurity among military families — saw a 40 percent increase in requests for groceries. During the same period, grocery requests to AmericaServes, a network that helps military families, jumped to the biggest service request in the organization’s history.
Theoretically, military bases shouldn’t need food banks because everyone in the military is getting a paycheck.
But at this point the cost of living is rising so much faster than paychecks are that even military families are starting to go hungry.
Of course, Congress is “feverishly” working on a new stimulus package to help alleviate the suffering of the American people, but some Democrats are extremely upset that they are being forced to choose either enhanced unemployment benefits or $600 stimulus checks for the American people…
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez fiercely criticized the apparent trade-off to include a round of $600 stimulus checks at the expense of funding for enhanced unemployment insurance, calling it “inhumane.” “The fact that Republicans are forcing Dems to choose between stimulus money OR unemployment benefits, as if we couldn’t easily do both, is barbaric,” the New York congresswoman tweeted. “Do they know that people in red states are hungry too, or do they just not care?”
Considering the fact that we are already 27.5 trillion dollars in debt, the truth is that we really can’t afford any of this.
But if we are in the process of liquidating the nation anyway, we might as well ask for the biggest checks that we can possibly get.
Sadly, nothing that our leaders do now is going to stop our economic collapse from eventually getting a whole lot worse.
For the past several decades we have been on the greatest debt binge in the history of the human race, and now that bubble is in the process of bursting.
Those that are expecting life to “return to normal” at some point are going to be deeply disappointed, because the “big meltdown” has now started, and it appears that 2021 is going to be a really, really painful year.

A few months ago, a company called Capella Space launched a satellite capable of taking clear radar images of anywhere in the world, with incredible resolution — even through the walls of some buildings.
And unlike most of the huge array of surveillance and observational satellites orbiting the Earth, its satellite Capella 2 can snap a clear picture during night or day, rain or shine.
“It turns out that half of the world is in nighttime, and half of the world, on average, is cloudy,” CEO Payam Banazadeh, a former system engineer at the NASA Jet Propulsion laboratory, told Futurism. “When you combine those two together, about 75 percent of Earth, at any given time, is going to be cloudy, nighttime, or it’s going to be both. It’s invisible to you, and that portion is moving around.”
On Wednesday, Capella launched a platform allowing governmental or private customers to request images of anything in the world — a capability that will only get more powerful with the deployment of six additional satellites next year. Is that creepy from a privacy point of view? Sure. But Banazadeh says that it also plugs numerous holes in the ways scientists and government agencies are currently able to monitor the planet.
“There’s a bunch of gaps in how we’re currently observing Earth from space — the majority of the sensors we use to observe earth are optical imaging sensors,” he said. “If it’s cloudy, you’re going to see the clouds, not what’s happening under the clouds. And if there’s not much light, you’re going to have a really hard time getting an image that is useful.”
By contrast, Capella can peer right through cloud cover, and see just as well in the daylight as in total darkness. That’s because instead of optical imaging, it uses synthetic aperture radar, or SAR.
SAR works similarly to how dolphins and bats navigate using echolocation. The satellite beams down a powerful 9.65 GHz radio signal toward its target, and then collects and interprets the signal as it bounces back up into orbit. And because the satellite is sending down its own signal rather than passively capturing light, sometimes those signals can even penetrate right through a building’s wall, peering at the interior like Superman’s X-ray vision.
“At that frequency, the clouds are pretty much transparent,” Banazadeh told Futurism. “You can penetrate clouds, fog, moisture, smoke, haze. Those things don’t matter anymore. And because you’re generating your own signal, it’s as if you’re carrying a flashlight. You don’t care if it’s day or night.”
