I’m tempted to include China’s Song Dynasty circa 1276 AD, but the analog of the Mongol invasion isn’t a likely fit. The Khmer Empire circa 1350-1430 AD and the Mayan Civilization in the 9th century might be excellent analogies but not enough is known about these complex declines to make an analogy more than guesswork.
Rome, the USSR and Revolutionary France are all compelling analogies due to the hubristic cluelessness of their fractured elites as the pretensions of stability collapsed around them. Even though Nero didn’t actually fiddle while Rome burned and Marie Antoinette didn’t gush “Let them eat brioche” when notified that the peasants had no bread (or more accurately, could no longer afford it), these myths are handy encapsulations of the disconnect from reality that infested the elites in the last years before the deluge of non-linear chaos overwhelmed the regimes.

The failures of neoliberalism
After observing the mighty clash, enhanced by Covid-19, between the neoliberal paradigm and “socialism with Chinese characteristics”, the Global South is only beginning to draw the necessary conclusions.
No Western propaganda tsunami can favorably spin what is in effect a devastating, one-two, ideological collapse.
Neoliberalism’s abject failure in dealing with Covid-19 is manifestly evident all across the West.
The US election dystopia is now sealing the abject failure of Western liberal “democracy”: what kind of “choice” is offered by Trump-Biden?
This is happening just as the ultra-efficient, relentlessly demonized “Chinese Communist Party” rolls out the road map for the next five years. Washington cannot even plan what happens the day ahead.
Trump’s original drive, suggested by Henry Kissinger before the January 2017 inauguration, was to play – what else – Divide and Rule, seducing Russia against China.
This was absolute anathema for the Deep State and its Dem minions. Thus the subsequent, relentless demonization of Trump – with Russiagate topping the charts. And then Trump unilaterally chose to sanction and demonize China anyway.
Assuming a Dem victory, the scenario will veer towards Russia demonization on steroids even as hysterical Hybrid War on China will persist on all fronts – Uighurs, Tibet, Hong Kong, South China Sea, Taiwan.

lewrockwell--2020-11-07--Water Cures Dehydration And Facilitates All Medical Treatments

Water is the perfect cure for dehydration , which is important because most people in the modern era tend to be slightly dehydrated .
Whether we drink too little water or too much soda or coffee or suffer from our medicines dehydrating effects , our bodies lose vital energy quickly from being deficient in water .
Being low on water is like being very low in oil as you attempt to climb a mountain in your car .
In stressful times like these , when anxiety and fear increase , we should increase our water intake to mitigate the damaging @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Water is our most basic medicine , but doctors do not pay enough attention to hydration levels in their patients , which gets them into troublesome lawsuits , especially in pediatrics .
Thus for ourselves and our children , it pays to self-diagnose , and that is easy by paying attention to your urine color .
The darker it is , the more dehydrated one is .
Dehydration alters the conformation of proteins and removes water layers around proteins essential for maintaining the original protein structure .
In health and medicine , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ basics .
Want to stay young and healthy ?
Pay attention to your water , and importantly what is in your water .
In most places in the world today , tap water is not acceptable .
It is polluted with many contaminants , including chlorine and fluoride , which was the worst idea imaginable .
Only sick politicians and health officials are in favor of putting fluoride in water .
Sodium Bicarbonate : Na ... Mark Sircus Best Price : $ 7.25 Buy New $ 10.32 So the first step in using @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it with one of many filtering processes .
Once we have pure water , we have to pay attention to what we put in it to make it better , make it more powerful , and elevate it to a level where even pharmaceutical medicines can not compete .
This is especially important with distilled water , which is deprived of all mineral content .
Water with hydrogen has grown in popularity as of late , but that will never compare to hydrogen gas generated from a hydrogen inhalation machine .
Although adding @ @ @ @ @ @ @ excellent medicine , the most potent or perfect water is high in magnesium bicarbonate , which is the ideal form of these minerals .
High levels of magnesium and bicarbonate ensure that one ’ s water is alkaline .

Water is the perfect cure for dehydration, which is important because most people in the modern era tend to be slightly dehydrated. Whether we drink too little water or too much soda or coffee or suffer from our medicines dehydrating effects, our bodies lose vital energy quickly from being deficient in water. Being low on water is like being very low in oil as you attempt to climb a mountain in your car.
In stressful times like these, when anxiety and fear increase, we should increase our water intake to mitigate the damaging effects of our emotions on our bodies. Water is our most basic medicine, but doctors do not pay enough attention to hydration levels in their patients, which gets them into troublesome lawsuits, especially in pediatrics. Thus for ourselves and our children, it pays to self-diagnose, and that is easy by paying attention to your urine color. The darker it is, the more dehydrated one is. Dehydration alters the conformation of proteins and removes water layers around proteins essential for maintaining the original protein structure.
In health and medicine, it pays to pay attention to the basics. Want to stay young and healthy? Pay attention to your water, and importantly what is in your water. In most places in the world today, tap water is not acceptable. It is polluted with many contaminants, including chlorine and fluoride, which was the worst idea imaginable. Only sick politicians and health officials are in favor of putting fluoride in water. Sodium Bicarbonate: Na... Mark Sircus Best Price: $7.25 Buy New $10.32 (as of 10:37 UTC - Details)
So the first step in using water as a medicine is to purify it with one of many filtering processes. Once we have pure water, we have to pay attention to what we put in it to make it better, make it more powerful, and elevate it to a level where even pharmaceutical medicines cannot compete. This is especially important with distilled water, which is deprived of all mineral content.
Water with hydrogen has grown in popularity as of late, but that will never compare to hydrogen gas generated from a hydrogen inhalation machine. Although adding hydrogen to one’s body is excellent medicine, the most potent or perfect water is high in magnesium bicarbonate, which is the ideal form of these minerals. High levels of magnesium and bicarbonate ensure that one’s water is alkaline. The reason magnesium bicarbonate is effective and robust is that bicarbonate acts as a transporter of magnesium into the mitochondria. After a few days, one can experience the extra punch of energy when drinking all your water loaded with magnesium bicarbonate.
A less expensive, more accessible approach is combining sodium bicarbonate, potassium bicarbonate, and magnesium carbonate, which will add oxygen and alkalinity to the body’s fluids and cells, increasing cell voltage.
Our Children Need More Water
All functions within the body require the presence of water. A well-hydrated body enables these functions to occur quickly and efficiently. Dehydration happens when a person loses more fluids than he or she takes in. Human bodies are made up of water, so the right balance of fluids in our systems is needed for good health. Large amounts of fluids can be lost through fever, diarrhea, vomiting, or sweating.
Dehydration happens very quickly in the bodies of infants and small children, who don’t have as much fluid to spare. It can soon become severe. The risk of dehydration among children is higher than among adults, and this process of dehydration may begin rapidly. Rehydration is the crucial process of returning those fluids to the body to restore normal functioning. Dehydration in children can be a severe medical condition. Left untreated, it can have dire consequences. Since children aren’t always aware or able to tell us if they’re dehydrated, it falls to us as parents.
Dehydration is one of the most overlooked and primary causes of disease. 2% dehydration in children will bring a 20% slowdown of physical and psychological activity. 3% dehydration may bring to heatstroke. According to a study published in the Archives of Disease in Childhood, more than 70% of preschool children never drink plain water.

Lack of Bicarbonate Leads to Diabetes, Cancer, and Heart Disease
pH is everything to a cell’s water life. The most important function of alkaline water is to increase bicarbonates in the blood because we lose bicarbonates as we age. Dr. Lynda Frassetto of the University of California, San Francisco, knows, “Insufficient amount of bicarbonates in our blood reduces our capabilities to manage (neutralize and dump) the acid our body produces. This is the cause of aging. The age of 45 is the average age when human beings start to show symptoms of diabetes, hypertension, osteoporosis, and many other adult degenerative diseases.

Countdown to magic voting
Election Day comes. Vote counting is running smoothly – mail-in count, election day count, up to the minute tallies – but mostly favoring Red, especially in three states always essential for capturing the presidency. Red is also leading in what is characterized as “swing states”.
But then, just as a TV network prematurely calls a supposedly assured Red state for Blue, all vote counting stops before midnight in major urban areas in key swing states under Blue governors, with Red in the lead.

Not only Corpse is about to be investigated for a shady computer-related scheme. He is a stage 2 dementia patient with a rapidly unraveling profile – kept barely functional by drugs, which can’t prevent his mind slowly shutting down.
Codename Buffoon, true to his instincts, goes pre-emptive, declaring the whole election a fraud but without offering a smoking gun. He is duly debunked by the mainstream media/Big Tech alliance for spreading “false claims”.
All this is happening as a wily, old, bitter operator not only had declared that the only admissible scenario was a Blue victory; she had already positioned herself for a top security job.
Blue also games that Red would immediately embark on a single-minded path ahead: regiment an army of lawyers demanding access to every registration roll to scrub, review and verify each and every mail-in ballot, a process of de facto forensic analysis.
Yet Blue cannot foresee how many fake ballots will be unveiled during recounts.
As Corpse is set to declare victory, Buffon eyes the long game, set to take the whole thing all the way to the Supreme Court.

The Red counter-revolution does carry the potential of strategically checkmating Blue.
It is a three-pronged attack – with Red using the Judiciary Committee, the Senate and the Attorney General, all under the authority of codename Buffoon until Inauguration Day. The end game after a vicious legal battle is to overthrow Blue.
Red’s top operators have the option of setting up a Senate commission, or a Special Counsel, at the request of the Judiciary Committee, to be appointed by the Department of Justice to investigate Corpse.

Even as the Deep State, using its Blue minions, would never have allowed codename Buffoon to prevail, again, domestic Divide and Rule might be seen as the least disastrous outcome for the world at large.
A civil war context in theory distracts the Deep State from bombing more Global South latitudes into the dystopian “democracy” charade it is now enacting.

lewrockwell--2020-11-07--The Media Whores Can’t Keep Their Lies Straight

Earlier today I demonstrated the laughable and ludicrus mistakes made by a BBC “ Reality Check Team ” tasked with covering up the Democrat vote fraud in Michigan .
See here .
Now the presstitutes at USA Today have come up with a totally different coverup for the same fraud .
The earlier BBC coverup reported that election officials said they had made a “ data entry error.
” This error , said to have been corrected , was the way the BBC explained away a sudden 138,000 votes for Biden in the early hours of the morning when no @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lie out of the water .
So the presstitutes had to find another coverup .
The new coverup lie from USA Today is that there was no “ data entry error ” and no election officials admitting to one .
According to the USA Today coverup story , the added votes never happened .
Instead , there was “ an apparent typo on a lone national media site , ” and this typo was picked up by social media and then by President Trump .
In other words , the USA Today presstitutes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ team is incompetent and unreliable .
Why prefer the USA Today ’ s coverup story over the BBC ’ s coverup story ?
Which coverup story do we believe ?
The answer is : Neither .
Both are lies .
The USA Today coverup story says no additional 138,339 votes for Biden suddenly appeared .
So what disappeared Trump ’ s sizable lead .
No Biden votes added but Trump ’ s lead disappeared .
Magic .
An identical ballot dump for Biden to the one in Michigan also occurred in the early @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , wiping out Trump ’ s lead .
So far the press prostitutes have not been able to devise a coverup for this second occurance of the same thing .
So what , media whores , is your coverup story for Wisconsin ?
( And for Pennsylvania , North Carolina , and Georgia— Georgia officials have announced a recount after acknowledging many irregularities . )
Are the miscounts in Michigan and Wisconsin two data entry errors or two typos picked up by social media or one of each ?
Think what it means @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , allegedly the “ watchdogs of democracy , ” are openly involved in participating in the theft of a presidential election .
Think what it means that a large number of Democrat public and election officials are openly involved in the theft of a presidential election .
It means that the United States is split irredeemably .
The hatred for white people that has been cultivated for many years , portraying white Americans as “ systemic racists , ” together with the Democrats ’ lust for power and money , has destroyed national @ @ @ @ @ @ @ replacement of rules with force .
Why do Democrats have any more right to force than Trump ?
The Democrat theft of the 2020 Presidential election has split the country far worse than the Morrill Tariff did in March 1861 , leading to the secession of the southern states and the invasion of the southern states by the North .
The Red States , that is , the homes of the original ethnic American population , have been demonized by the intellectuals , professors , press prostitutes , and Democrats for four years @ @ @ @ @ @ @ demonized as “ white supremacist racist Trump deplorables.
” The war against Real Americans will intensify under the Kamala Regime .
Biden ’ s obvious episodes of mental confusion will cause him to be moved aside .
The United States will have as President a leftwing “ female of color ” who has expressed her hatred of white Americans .
Unfortunately for the Real Americans , they are unorganized and Trump is the only leader that they have .
It is not difficult to imagine that one of the first things the Kamala @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the Second Amendment and then begin arresting Red State gun owners to ensure that Red State Americans have no self-protection .
It is easy to imagine , knowing the hate Democrats , intellectuals , professors , and the media whores have for Red State Americans , that next a virus will be released , a pandemic declared , and Red State America moved into internment camps .
Why would a demonic moment that is determined to destroy white statues and monuments , white museums , white history and culture , and “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ destroy white people ?
As US armed forces are made up of Red State Americans , Washington ’ s ability to prance around the world as a hegemon will disappear .
Russia , China , even Iran would be able to easily defeat the “ superpower ” in war .
It would be poetic justice if the consequence of the openly stolen election is the end of Washington ’ s hegemony .
Regardless , America ’ s influence has been cancelled by the stolen election .
As one European observer has noted , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ democracy by violence , since it sure as hell can ’ t do so by example.

Earlier today I demonstrated the laughable and ludicrus mistakes made by a BBC “Reality Check Team” tasked with covering up the Democrat vote fraud in Michigan. See here.

The earlier BBC coverup reported that election officials said they had made a “data entry error.” This error, said to have been corrected, was the way the BBC explained away a sudden 138,000 votes for Biden in the early hours of the morning when no one was watching.
I blew this lie out of the water.

Are the miscounts in Michigan and Wisconsin two data entry errors or two typos picked up by social media or one of each?
Think what it means that the entirety of the US media, allegedly the “watchdogs of democracy,” are openly involved in participating in the theft of a presidential election.
Think what it means that a large number of Democrat public and election officials are openly involved in the theft of a presidential election.
It means that the United States is split irredeemably. The hatred for white people that has been cultivated for many years, portraying white Americans as “systemic racists,” together with the Democrats’ lust for power and money, has destroyed national unity. The consequence will be the replacement of rules with force.
Why do Democrats have any more right to force than Trump?
The Democrat theft of the 2020 Presidential election has split the country far worse than the Morrill Tariff did in March 1861, leading to the secession of the southern states and the invasion of the southern states by the North.
The Red States, that is, the homes of the original ethnic American population, have been demonized by the intellectuals, professors, press prostitutes, and Democrats for four years and longer. The Real Americans are demonized as “white supremacist racist Trump deplorables.”
The war against Real Americans will intensify under the Kamala Regime. Biden’s obvious episodes of mental confusion will cause him to be moved aside. The United States will have as President a leftwing “female of color” who has expressed her hatred of white Americans. Unfortunately for the Real Americans, they are unorganized and Trump is the only leader that they have.
It is not difficult to imagine that one of the first things the Kamala Regime will do is to get rid of the Second Amendment and then begin arresting Red State gun owners to ensure that Red State Americans have no self-protection. It is easy to imagine, knowing the hate Democrats, intellectuals, professors, and the media whores have for Red State Americans, that next a virus will be released, a pandemic declared, and Red State America moved into internment camps. Why would a demonic moment that is determined to destroy white statues and monuments, white museums, white history and culture, and “white privilege” not also want to destroy white people?
As US armed forces are made up of Red State Americans, Washington’s ability to prance around the world as a hegemon will disappear. Russia, China, even Iran would be able to easily defeat the “superpower” in war.
It would be poetic justice if the consequence of the openly stolen election is the end of Washington’s hegemony.
Regardless, America’s influence has been cancelled by the stolen election. As one European observer has noted, “The United States has to spread democracy by violence, since it sure as hell can’t do so by example.”

lewrockwell--2020-11-09--President Trump, You Are Still President!

President Trump , you won the election , but the Deep State leftists are trying to cheat you out of victory .
Even though you led in Michigan , Georgia , and Pennsylvania , mysterious paper ballots materialized , reversing the will of the people .
Pepe Escobar , writing in the Asia Times , explains how it was done : “ Stuffing the ballot box is a typical scam applied in Banana Republic declinations of color revolution .
Blue operators use the tried and tested method applied to the gold futures market , when a sudden drop of naked @ @ @ @ @ @ @ protecting the US dollar .
Blue operators bet the compliant mainstream media/Big Tech alliance will not question that , well , out of the blue , the vote would swing towards Blue in a 2 to 3 or 3 to 4 margin .
They bet no questions will be asked on how a 2 % to 5 % positive ballot trend in Red ’ s favor in a few states turned into a 0.5 % to 1.4 % trend in favor of Blue by around 4am .
And that this discrepancy happens in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : The Bernie Mado ... Ortleb , Charles Buy New $ 5.99 And that some precincts turn more presidential votes than they have registered voters .
And that in swing states , the number of extra mysterious votes for Blue far exceeds votes cast for the Senate candidates in these states , when the record shows that down ticket totals are traditionally close .
And that turnout in one of these states would be 89.25 % .
” You should of course continue to press your legal challenges to the fake vote as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ media has no power to declare Biden the winner .
But even if you don ’ t succeed and have to leave the White House on January 20 , you are legally President until that day .
In the time until then , you should act decisively against the Deep State and the enemies of the American people .
Here are a few suggestions on things to do .
You should fire Anthony Fauci and Christopher Wray .
One of the main ways that the Deep State undermined you is by using the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
As Gary Barnett pointed out last May , “ Tony Fauci got his wish , or at least he and others were able to manufacture a scenario that would make his wish come true .
One of yesterday ’ s reports after Fauci testified before Congress stated : A VOYAGE IN IMAGINATIO ... Holmes , Dr Joel S Buy New $ 9.95 ‘ Fauci , a member of Trump ’ s coronavirus task force , told the Senate Health , Education , Labor and Pensions Committee that the nation ’ s efforts @ @ @ @ @ @ @ COVID-19 disease it triggers should be “ focused on the proven public health practices of containment and mitigation.
” In other words , everyone should remain in lockdown , which of course means home prison , and this is known by the perpetrators of this fraud to cause severe stress that kills the immune system , thus guaranteeing more sickness , more death , and more tyranny .
Fauci knows this , as does his partner in crime , Bill Gates .
The longer people are isolated and stressed , the more disease @ @ @ @ @ @ @ right into the hands of those like Fauci that desire total control over society in order to gain for themselves.
” After you fire Fauci , you should urge that we open up the economy completely .
We don ’ t need face masks , which prevent people from breathing and don ’ t stop the virus .
Don ’ t fall for the phony vaccine propaganda .
As Ron Paul has said , “ The World Health Organization ( WHO ) recently admitted that lockdowns cause more harm than good .
Following @ @ @ @ @ @ @ American politicians to immediately end the lockdowns .
After all , the WHO ’ s pronouncements are considered infallible , so much so that social media sites silence anyone who dares challenge the great and powerful WHO .
Yet , governors , mayors , and other government officials across the country are ignoring the WHO ’ s anti-lockdown position .
Plandemic : Exposing th ... Fife , Dr. Bruce Buy New $ 8.95 Instead of admitting that the lockdowns were a mistake , many in the political class , which includes a disturbing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ prestige depend on government , claim that we can not return to normalcy until a coronavirus vaccine is in wide use .
This suggests that people among the majority of Americans who do not wish to be vaccinated will remain under lockdown or be forced to be vaccinated against their will .
The assault on our liberty will not end with deployment and use of a vaccine .
Moncef Slaoui , the chief adviser of the Trump administration ’ s Operation Warp Speed , a ‘ public-private partnership ’ in charge of producing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said that those who receive a vaccine will be monitored by ‘ incredibly precise … tracking systems.
’ Slaoui has also indicated that tech giants Google and Oracle will help the government keep tabs on the vaccinated individuals .
So , the vaccine program will lead to an increase in government surveillance !
” You should urge people not to take the vaccine , even if Biden usurps power on January 20 .
Christopher Wray has acted to undermine your Administration .
He pedals the fake charge that the Russians made you President @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you the Hunter Biden “ Laptop from Hell , ” even though he had this since December .
But you shouldn ’ t stop with him .
As you well know , there is a cabal of FBI , CIA , and NSA agents who have acted to undermine you even before you took office .
You should get rid of them .
In fact , why do we need an FBI or a CIA at all ?
They are agencies of world disruption , and you would do the world a great @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The Left will stop at nothing to harm you and your friends if Biden gets in .
You should immediately pardon yourself , your family , Michael Flynn , Roger Stone , and all the others who have stood up against the Left .
I strongly suspect that “ Judge ” Sullivan , a pliant tool of the Left , is planning to sentence Flynn to a long prison term as soon as you are forced out of office , so that is why he needs to be pardoned to preclude that from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and to act against the BLM and antifa thugs who are rioting and looting .
End The Fed Ron Paul Best Price : $ 2.18 Buy New $ 5.68 One of the best things you could do is to fire the entire Federal Reserve Board .
The Fed controls our economy in the interests of nefarious forces , and firing the Fed Board would be a great first step the End the Fed .
As Ron Paul has said , “ Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell recently announced that the Fed is abandoning @ @ @ @ @ @ @ aims to maintain a price inflation rate of up to two percent .
Instead , the Fed will allow inflation to remain above two percent to balance out periods of lower inflation .
Powell ’ s announcement is not a radical shift in policy .
It is an acknowledgment that the Fed is unlikely to reverse course and stop increasing the money supply anytime soon .
Following the 2008 market meltdown , the Fed embarked on an unprecedented money-creation binge .
The result was historically low interest rates and an explosion of debt @ @ @ @ @ @ @ debt are each over 16 trillion dollars .
Of course , the biggest debtor is the federal government .
The explosion of debt puts pressure on the Fed to keep increasing the money supply in order to maintain low interest rates .
An increase in rates to anything close to what they would be in a free market could make it impossible for consumers , businesses , and ( especially ) the federal government to manage their debt .
This would create a major economic crisis .
The Fed has also dramatically expanded @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rounds of ‘ quantitative easing.
’ According to Bloomberg , the Fed is now the world ’ s largest investor and holds about one-third of all bonds backed by US home mortgages .
The Controlled Demolit ... Robinson , Charlie Buy New $ 13.36 Congress has expanded the Fed ’ s portfolio by giving the central bank authority to make trillions of dollars of payments to business as well as to state and local governments in order to help the economy recover from the unnecessary and destructive lockdowns .
.
.
Once the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ actions may lead to a short-term boom .
However , the long-term effect will be even more debt , continued erosion of the average American ’ s standard of living , and the collapse of the fiat money system and the welfare-warfare state .
The crisis will likely be brought on by a rejection of the dollar ’ s reserve currency status .
This will be supported both by concerns about the stability of the US economy and resentment over America ’ s hyper-interventionist foreign policy .
The question is not if the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is how it will end .
If the end comes via a meltdown , the result will likely be chaos , violence , and increased support for authoritarian movements as desperate people trade their few remaining liberties in hopes of gaining security.
” There is another vital thing you can do .
In your first term , you often complained about NATO and our involvement in foreign quarrels that don ’ t concern us .
You would render the American people an inestimable service if you withdrew America from NATO and brought all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is vast .
As Laurence Vance has pointed out , “ According to the latest edition of the Department of Defense ’ s ( DOD ) Base Structure Report : “ The DoD manages a worldwide real property portfolio that spans all 50 states , 8 U.S. territories with outlying areas , and 45 foreign countries .
The majority of these foreign sites are located in Germany ( 194 sites ) .
The DOD owns , leases , or controls 47,288 buildings occupying 481,651 acres on foreign soil .
The DOD has acknowledged @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bases in 80 countries , but we know from the work of Nick Turse and the late Chalmers Johnson that that number is closer to 1,000.
” Why not do what you can to end this Empire and return America to our traditional policy of nonintervention ?
The Hat Depot Exclusiv ... Buy New $ 12.99 You should also reject the false appeals for unity of Biden and his allies .
America is not unified .
The heartland of America stands opposed to the coastal elites , illegal immigrants , and disaffected minority @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of us .
We need more disunity , not unity .
Finally , remember that Joe Biden is not the legitimate president—you are .
You should do and say everything you can , both before and after January 20 , to delegitimize him , Kamala Harris , and the whole gang .
Just as you have been doing , you should stress the blatantly fraudulent “ results ” in Biden ’ s favor .
As the New York Post has pointed out , the election might be decided by Congress : “ With @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with Democratic governors but Republican legislatures — including the key battleground states of Pennsylvania , North Carolina , Michigan and Wisconsin , the latter two of which have already been called for Biden — could conceivably end up dispatching two distinct groups of Electoral College voters , reported Marie Claire , citing a study by election scholar Edward B. Foley .
In that scenario , those states would have two competing sets of electoral votes , and , as president of the Senate , Republican Vice President Mike Pence would be tasked with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to throw out both sets of votes from those states , meaning neither candidate could reach the 270 electoral votes needed to clinch the presidency .
In that event , the members of Congress would vote for president and vice president .
The House of Representatives would vote for president , with each state ’ s delegation getting one shared vote , and a simple majority of 26 votes needed to elect .
In the Senate , each senator gets one vote , with a simple majority of 51 votes needed to elect.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ January 20 , you should set up a White House in exile , and continually criticize what Biden does .
You should use your unrivalled media skills to always keep in the public eye .
You won the election , and you are the rightful President .
If you do these things , you will be remembered as a great American President .
