thewashingtonstandard--2020-11-06--Something More Important Than The Presidential Election

This column was written before the polls were closed on Tuesday .
So , I do not know the outcome of the presidential election .
But my views on this election are well known .
For readers who may be new to this column , here is a brief 7-minute video explaining my position .
And as I have said repeatedly : Who you elect at the State and local levels ( governor , sheriff , etc . )
is far more important than who is elected president .
Therefore , to properly judge the outcome of the elections on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ look at your State and county elections .
Plus , I want to use this column to happily announce that we are again shipping the Matthew Henry Study Bible .
For years , people who watch my online messages have been asking me to recommend a study Bible .
This I was not able to do , because every comprehensive study Bible I knew of taught the false doctrines of Christian Zionism .
The only study Bible I knew of that was NOT Zionist-based was the Matthew Henry Study Bible .
But for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mass production .
And if you found one on , say , eBay , you ’ d pay close to $ 100 for it .
For over a year , I was in negotiations with the publisher of the Matthew Henry Study Bible ; and we finally became a distributor of this phenomenal Bible this past June .
So many people ordered this wonderful Bible that we sold out the publisher ’ s entire stock .
Since then , we have been waiting for a new supply to be printed .
Well , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Study Bible has just arrived , and they are NOW AVAILABLE .
Matthew Henry ’ s commentaries on the Bible—written from 1708 – 1710—are yet today the gold standard of Bible commentaries .
These were Charles Spurgeon ’ s favorite Bible commentaries .
Of these commentaries , Spurgeon said : The famous English evangelist George Whitefield , who was one of the human agencies responsible for the Great Awakening in Colonial America , read Matthew Henry ’ s commentaries all the way through four times .
The last time , he read them @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , I have tried to reacquaint the American people with the majestic Liberty principles of our Founding Fathers by publishing THE FREEDOM DOCUMENTS .
Now , my desire is also to reacquaint Christian people with the majestic Biblical doctrines of the faith of our fathers—unfettered with the false prophecy doctrines of Scofieldism—by distributing the Matthew Henry Study Bible .
If somehow the Church could extricate itself from the false doctrines of Christian Zionism , I truly believe God would restore both Liberty and Revival to our land .
The Bible commentaries of Matthew @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bygone centuries gave birth to the patriot pastors and preachers of Colonial America that brought a Great Awakening—and then a revival of Liberty—to this country .
Ask yourself : What has one hundred years of our pastors and churches preaching the false doctrines of Christian Zionism done for America ?
Do you think there is a connection between the increase of this false teaching and the decrease of true Christianity in this country ?
I do !
If you have been hungry for an exhaustive study Bible that does NOT promote the false @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Henry Study Bible is it .
The features of this Bible include : I can tell you that our first shipment of Bibles has already been mailed , as so many people had pre-ordered them .
And we are already delivering the third shipment , having exhausted the second shipment .
These Bibles are very reasonably priced and are selling quickly .
If you want a Matthew Henry Study Bible for yourself or for gifts this Christmas , I strongly suggest you order SOON .
Again , we are shipping the Matthew Henry @ @ @ @

This column was written before the polls were closed on Tuesday. So, I do not know the outcome of the presidential election. But my views on this election are well known. For readers who may be new to this column, here is a brief 7-minute video explaining my position.
And as I have said repeatedly: Who you elect at the State and local levels (governor, sheriff, etc.) is far more important than who is elected president. Therefore, to properly judge the outcome of the elections on Tuesday, take a good, hard look at your State and county elections.
Plus, I want to use this column to happily announce that we are again shipping the Matthew Henry Study Bible.
For years, people who watch my online messages have been asking me to recommend a study Bible. This I was not able to do, because every comprehensive study Bible I knew of taught the false doctrines of Christian Zionism. The only study Bible I knew of that was NOT Zionist-based was the Matthew Henry Study Bible. But for years this study Bible was not in mass production. And if you found one on, say, eBay, you’d pay close to $100 for it.
For over a year, I was in negotiations with the publisher of the Matthew Henry Study Bible; and we finally became a distributor of this phenomenal Bible this past June. So many people ordered this wonderful Bible that we sold out the publisher’s entire stock. Since then, we have been waiting for a new supply to be printed.
Well, the new printing of the Matthew Henry Study Bible has just arrived, and they are NOW AVAILABLE.
Matthew Henry’s commentaries on the Bible—written from 1708 – 1710—are yet today the gold standard of Bible commentaries. These were Charles Spurgeon’s favorite Bible commentaries.
Of these commentaries, Spurgeon said:
First among the mighty for general usefulness we are bound to mention the man whose name is a household word, Matthew Henry. He is most pious and pithy, sound and sensible, suggestive and sober, terse and trustworthy. You will find him to be glittering with metaphors, rich in analogies, overflowing with illustrations, superabundant in reflections. . . . It is the poor man’s commentary, the old Christian’s companion, suitable to everybody, instructive to all.
The famous English evangelist George Whitefield, who was one of the human agencies responsible for the Great Awakening in Colonial America, read Matthew Henry’s commentaries all the way through four times. The last time, he read them on his knees.
For 20 years, I have tried to reacquaint the American people with the majestic Liberty principles of our Founding Fathers by publishing THE FREEDOM DOCUMENTS. Now, my desire is also to reacquaint Christian people with the majestic Biblical doctrines of the faith of our fathers—unfettered with the false prophecy doctrines of Scofieldism—by distributing the Matthew Henry Study Bible.
If somehow the Church could extricate itself from the false doctrines of Christian Zionism, I truly believe God would restore both Liberty and Revival to our land. The Bible commentaries of Matthew Henry and other pre-Scofield Bible scholars in bygone centuries gave birth to the patriot pastors and preachers of Colonial America that brought a Great Awakening—and then a revival of Liberty—to this country.
Ask yourself: What has one hundred years of our pastors and churches preaching the false doctrines of Christian Zionism done for America? Do you think there is a connection between the increase of this false teaching and the decrease of true Christianity in this country? I do!
If you have been hungry for an exhaustive study Bible that does NOT promote the false doctrines of Christian Zionism, the Matthew Henry Study Bible is it.
The features of this Bible include:
*King James Version only *Black Bonded Leather only *Clear, new typesetting of text and notes *Presentation page *Book introductions, footnotes, and in-text quotations from Matthew Henry’s writings *Side-column references *Biography of Matthew Henry *Concordance *8-page full-color map section *Words of Christ in red *9 point type *9.75″ x 6.75″ x 2.00″
I can tell you that our first shipment of Bibles has already been mailed, as so many people had pre-ordered them. And we are already delivering the third shipment, having exhausted the second shipment. These Bibles are very reasonably priced and are selling quickly.
If you want a Matthew Henry Study Bible for yourself or for gifts this Christmas, I strongly suggest you order SOON.

Trump Declares His Campaign Will “Start Prosecuting” His Case On Monday – Why Didn’t He Prosecute Biden?

Trump Declares His Campaign Will “ Start Prosecuting ” His Case On Monday – Why Didn ’ t He Prosecute Biden ?
If there ’ s one thing we know it is this : Barack Hussein Obama Soetoro Sobarkah , Hillary Clinton , Eric Holder and Joe Biden are free to attack America because of a failed promise President Donald Trump didn ’ t keep .
that promise was to bring back the rule of law and bring justice .
Now , as the media declares Biden the winner of the 2020 election , something that has not yet been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ prosecuting his case to hold the White House than prosecuting the treasonous members of the usurper and his administration .
In a statement by President Trump on Saturday , he said , “ We all know why Joe Biden is rushing to falsely pose as the winner , and why his media allies are trying so hard to help him : they don ’ t want the truth to be exposed.
” “ The simple fact is this election is far from over , ” Trump continued .
“ Joe Biden has not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ states , let alone any of the highly contested states headed for mandatory recounts , or states where our campaign has valid and legitimate legal challenges that could determine the ultimate victor .
In Pennsylvania , for example , our legal observers were not permitted meaningful access to watch the counting process .
Legal votes decide who is president , not the news media.
” Trump then added , “ Beginning Monday , our campaign will start prosecuting our case in court to ensure election laws are fully upheld and the rightful winner @ @ @ @ @ @ @ entitled to an honest election : that means counting all legal ballots , and not counting any illegal ballots .
This is the only way to ensure the public has full confidence in our election.
” “ It remains shocking that the Biden campaign refuses to agree with this basic principle and wants ballots counted even if they are fraudulent , manufactured , or cast by ineligible or deceased voters , ” he said .
“ Only a party engaged in wrongdoing would unlawfully keep observers out of the count room – and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ access.
” “ So what is Biden hiding ?
” Trump asked .
“ I will not rest until the American People have the honest vote count they deserve and that Democracy demands.
” Now , while I agree and have stated before that Trump should expose what is cleary voter fraud , I ask why Joe Biden was even considered a legitimate presidential candidate in the first place ?
Why did President Trump not prosecute any of the major criminals in the Obama administration ?
Had he done that , Biden would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Obama have been able to speak on his behalf .
This is just more evidence , in my opinion , that the Trump administration was nothing more than controlled opposition .

It ’ s spot on and what we have been saying for years .

If there’s one thing we know it is this: Barack Hussein Obama Soetoro Sobarkah, Hillary Clinton, Eric Holder and Joe Biden are free to attack America because of a failed promise President Donald Trump didn’t keep. that promise was to bring back the rule of law and bring justice. Now, as the media declares Biden the winner of the 2020 election, something that has not yet been certified, Trump seems more interested in prosecuting his case to hold the White House than prosecuting the treasonous members of the usurper and his administration.
In a statement by President Trump on Saturday, he said, “We all know why Joe Biden is rushing to falsely pose as the winner, and why his media allies are trying so hard to help him: they don’t want the truth to be exposed.”

Trump then added, “Beginning Monday, our campaign will start prosecuting our case in court to ensure election laws are fully upheld and the rightful winner is seated. The American People are entitled to an honest election: that means counting all legal ballots, and not counting any illegal ballots. This is the only way to ensure the public has full confidence in our election.”
“It remains shocking that the Biden campaign refuses to agree with this basic principle and wants ballots counted even if they are fraudulent, manufactured, or cast by ineligible or deceased voters,” he said. “Only a party engaged in wrongdoing would unlawfully keep observers out of the count room – and then fight in court to block their access.”
“So what is Biden hiding?” Trump asked. “I will not rest until the American People have the honest vote count they deserve and that Democracy demands.”
Now, while I agree and have stated before that Trump should expose what is cleary voter fraud, I ask why Joe Biden was even considered a legitimate presidential candidate in the first place? Why did President Trump not prosecute any of the major criminals in the Obama administration? Had he done that, Biden would not have even been running nor would Obama have been able to speak on his behalf.
This is just more evidence, in my opinion, that the Trump administration was nothing more than controlled opposition.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-11-08--The Stage Is Set:  Election Fraud, COVID, The Great Reset & Behavior Control

A former CBS Healthwatch reporter and author of The Matrix Revealed , Jon Rappoport , recently wrote a very precise analysis of what is currently going on and what is about to happen .
Though he didn ’ t mention the Bible , I do believe it is relevant to warnings of God ’ s judgment upon a disobedient people ( Deuteronomy 28 ; Leviticus 26 ) .
Jon is able to show clearly what is going on with the mixture of election fraud , COVID , and the coming Great Reset and it ’ s all about control .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ potentially damaging charge from the Trump team is : on election night , 138,000 votes for Biden in Michigan suddenly showed up , and at the same time no new votes were recorded for Trump .
The NY Times denies this happened .
Instead , the Times claims , there was a typo .
An extra zero was added to the end of those Biden votes .
Actually , the new chunk of votes for Biden should have been 13,800 .
There ’ s only one problem with that claim .
Even 13,800 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ without any change in Trump ’ s total , would be ridiculous .
Also , the Times states that the typo-error in Michigan was corrected , as soon as it was found .
I was watching network coverage of the election off and on , during the first long night of the election , and I saw no announcement from the networks that a mistake had been made in the Biden count in Michigan .
I may have missed that announcement , but I ’ d think it would have been a big @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Bottom line : very strange .
Makes no sense .
Whether it ’ s 138,000 or 13,800 votes in a row for Biden , this is an issue that should be investigated to the hilt .
The question is , does Trump really have the organized legal team to do it ?
And is that team filing compelling motions in several states to challenge the vote-count process ?
Will those motions contain enough evidence to work their way to the Supreme Court , if necessary ?
It was clear , months ago @ @ @ @ @ @ @ excuse of COVID and the virus , mail-in ballots were going to be used , in awesome numbers , all over the country .
Immediately , Trump ’ s legal team and the Republican Party chiefs should have developed an airtight plan to challenge a whole menu of potential avenues of fraud .
Did they ?
If so , I haven ’ t seen evidence of it yet .
For that matter , Biden ’ s legal team should have developed their own plan to deal with potential Republican dirty tricks .
There @ @ @ @ @ @ @ covert operation .
Many layers of benefit to various players .
I ’ ve written over 200 articles on the COVID op , describing the benefits .
On just one level , COVID was intended to swing the election .
That ’ s obvious : Take down the US economy and deflate a president , whose basic announced mission was to create a roaring economy .
Convince many voters that traveling to the polls to vote in person would be medically dangerous .
Therefore , institute massive mail-in voting , thus presenting all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Yes , the manipulation could come from both political Parties .
But those Globalists who launched COVID were in a stronger position to influence the election , because they were better organized from the get-go .
Their intent was more focused .
Here is a backgrounder on wider purposes of the COVID op .
The COVID illusion and the currency reset : There are several ways things could go .
In this article , I describe one path .
The World Health Organization ( WHO ) and the World Bank ( WB ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 2018 , they double-knotted their ties by forming a partnership to monitor outbreaks and epidemics before they spread .
Basically , behind the scenes , the deal looks like this : WHO creates the illusion of global epidemics ; WB steps in later , to pick up the pieces of the result—injured national economies— by shelling out loans to governments .
These loans always carry conditions .
The prime condition is : let in private , roaming , foreign , predatory , private investors so they can take over vital sectors of a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , etc .
But this time , with COVID : WHO , as planned , has gone ballistic .
The lockdowns are shredding economies .
It ’ s not going to be “ here ’ s a loan.
” It ’ s more on the order of : we have to bail out everybody .
How is that done ?
Step by step , through switching over one kind of illusory money for another kind of illusory money .
“ We invented one kind of money out of thin air , and it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Now we have to invent another kind of all new money out of thin air.
” It comes with conditions , gradually implemented .
Basically , the deal is : “ we pay you , and you obey us.
” The behavioral side of the model is the Chinese regime , which controls obedience through a “ social credit score.
” Infractions lower the score .
In which case , the violator can ’ t travel on a plane or send his kids to certain schools or stay in certain hotels or start @ @ @ @ @ @ @ punishments .
Infractions include walking a dog off a leash , spreading fake news , crossing against a red light , failure to separate garbage properly , business fraud , criticizing the government , “ violating community standards ” … Under a global UGI , it would be : “ Here ’ s your monthly digital check , now follow orders , or your money will be reduced .
Be a good citizen.
” Of course , a system like this requires complete and utter surveillance , public and private , every which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in real time , measured against algorithms which predict potential “ misbehavior.
” The holy grail is energy quotas for every person .
“ Mr .
Smith , this is your wall talking through the glorious Internet of Things .
Your energy quota for the month is reaching its limit .
I want to help you avoid that limit and the social credit score penalties that would be enforced .
I ’ m going to initiate brown-outs and dimming in your home for the next two weeks .
Your Internet will be shut @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the morning .
Cook all your meals for the day between four and five am… ” Behavior control .
What ’ s going on now is a tune-up for the future .
Now they say : stay indoors , don ’ t let in visitors .
Stand in line outside stores , keeping a distance of six feet .
Report people who appear sick .
Get tested .
Wash your hands a dozen times a day .
In the future , the list of rules and regs will expand , but the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be a good citizen and contribute to a better world .
Be sincere and earnest and helpful .
Don ’ t rebel .
And just like now , many , many people will respond : “ Yes , thank you .
I like the straight and narrow .
I like the feeling of contributing to something larger than myself .
I like the collective .
I like the fact that we ’ re all in this together.
” A sub-population of these people will want to do more .
They ’ ll want @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ll want to help the government enforce the rules .
They ’ ll want to “ express their energy.
” They would , if asked , gladly march in columns down streets , salute , hand out summons , make arrests , and even commit violent acts under orders .
They would wear crisp uniforms , and take oaths .
They would want ranks and seals .
They would like to be called ELITE .
Because history means nothing to such people , they ’ ll never know names like SS , Red @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s what they ’ ll be .
Unless the whole plan for a technocratic Brave New World is exposed and falls apart , because enough people remember another name and know what it means : Several propaganda themes are already emerging .
They will continue to be promoted in various ways , employing many messages .
I ’ m talking about official government and media propaganda .
The first great theme will be : HELP US BUILD A BETTER WORLD .
This message is for the sincere people who want to pitch @ @ @ @ @ @ @ collective sense .
“ Let ’ s build a better world where we can avoid these pandemics , or see them earlier .
Let ’ s form a civilization where equality and justice for all is the top priority .
Let ’ s all share and care… ” If you ’ re looking for logic , forget it .
In whatever way they can , the propagandists will imply that somehow the pandemic was a signal that we must “ do better.
” We must “ get through it together ” as we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we showed then must be the love we show now .
An appeal to idealists everywhere who fall for vague generalities like cats fall for catnip .
The second great theme , aimed at the educated class and the technical types and the scientists and “ thinkers , ” will be : ORGANIZATION .
“ We must organize world civilization more effectively.
” Because somehow , that was the problem Before the Pandemic .
Lack of organization allowed things to get out of hand .
We can ’ t any longer be separate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Too much disorder .
We need better structures in every phase of life .
We need more interconnection and coordination .
The educated class loves this stuff .
It fits their image of success .
If society operates like a machine , problems will be solved .
The third great propaganda theme is aimed at all sorts of people who emerged from their lockdown and self-isolation , took a walk in a park on a spring day , and suddenly remembered what they had been missing .
Their relief nearly reaches a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ end of a World War .
The theme is : NEVER AGAIN .
“ We don ’ t want to go back to those dark days under any circumstances , and whatever it takes , we ’ re on board .
Tell us what to do.
” With these themes in hand , the technocracy can be enacted .
1 ) We ’ re all for building a better world .
2 ) We must organize it with t ’ s crossed and i ’ s dotted .
3 ) And we must @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Unless people remember what is left out .
THE INDIVIDUAL .
And FREEDOM .
Technocratic operators are counting on us to forget .
They ’ re counting on many people who value freedom to say , “ Well , it ’ s all hopeless .
I know what freedom is , but too many others don ’ t .
So why bother .
I ’ ll just surrender and float on the tide.
” Floating is an illusion .
The tide moves in a planned direction .
Toward a shore that isn ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ !

There are many layers to a truly major covert operation. Many layers of benefit to various players. I’ve written over 200 articles on the COVID op, describing the benefits. On just one level, COVID was intended to swing the election. That’s obvious:

Yes, the manipulation could come from both political Parties. But those Globalists who launched COVID were in a stronger position to influence the election, because they were better organized from the get-go. Their intent was more focused.
~~~
Here is a backgrounder on wider purposes of the COVID op. The COVID illusion and the currency reset:
There are several ways things could go. In this article, I describe one path.
The World Health Organization (WHO) and the World Bank (WB) are joined at the hip. In 2018, they double-knotted their ties by forming a partnership to monitor outbreaks and epidemics before they spread.
Basically, behind the scenes, the deal looks like this: WHO creates the illusion of global epidemics; WB steps in later, to pick up the pieces of the result—injured national economies— by shelling out loans to governments.
These loans always carry conditions. The prime condition is: let in private, roaming, foreign, predatory, private investors so they can take over vital sectors of a nation: energy, agriculture, water, etc.
But this time, with COVID: WHO, as planned, has gone ballistic. The lockdowns are shredding economies. It’s not going to be “here’s a loan.”
It’s more on the order of: we have to bail out everybody.
How is that done?
Step by step, through switching over one kind of illusory money for another kind of illusory money.
“We invented one kind of money out of thin air, and it reached the end of the line. Now we have to invent another kind of all new money out of thin air.”
Universal guaranteed income (UGI). Eventually, for everyone.
It comes with conditions, gradually implemented. Basically, the deal is: “we pay you, and you obey us.”
The behavioral side of the model is the Chinese regime, which controls obedience through a “social credit score.”
Infractions lower the score. In which case, the violator can’t travel on a plane or send his kids to certain schools or stay in certain hotels or start a business. There are levels of punishments.
Infractions include walking a dog off a leash, spreading fake news, crossing against a red light, failure to separate garbage properly, business fraud, criticizing the government, “violating community standards”…
Under a global UGI, it would be: “Here’s your monthly digital check, now follow orders, or your money will be reduced. Be a good citizen.”
Of course, a system like this requires complete and utter surveillance, public and private, every which way—including internal body sensors reporting physiological changes in real time, measured against algorithms which predict potential “misbehavior.”
The holy grail is energy quotas for every person. “Mr. Smith, this is your wall talking through the glorious Internet of Things. Your energy quota for the month is reaching its limit. I want to help you avoid that limit and the social credit score penalties that would be enforced. I’m going to initiate brown-outs and dimming in your home for the next two weeks. Your Internet will be shut down—excepting the hours of midnight to three in the morning. Cook all your meals for the day between four and five am…”
Behavior control. What’s going on now is a tune-up for the future. Now they say: stay indoors, don’t let in visitors. Stand in line outside stores, keeping a distance of six feet. Report people who appear sick. Get tested. Wash your hands a dozen times a day. In the future, the list of rules and regs will expand, but the overall theme will be the same: be a good citizen and contribute to a better world. Be sincere and earnest and helpful. Don’t rebel.
And just like now, many, many people will respond: “Yes, thank you. I like the straight and narrow. I like the feeling of contributing to something larger than myself. I like the collective. I like the fact that we’re all in this together.”
A sub-population of these people will want to do more. They’ll want to join the government. They’ll want to help the government enforce the rules. They’ll want to “express their energy.” They would, if asked, gladly march in columns down streets, salute, hand out summons, make arrests, and even commit violent acts under orders.
They would wear crisp uniforms, and take oaths. They would want ranks and seals. They would like to be called ELITE.
Because history means nothing to such people, they’ll never know names like SS, Red Guards, or Stasi. But that’s what they’ll be.
Unless the whole plan for a technocratic Brave New World is exposed and falls apart, because enough people remember another name and know what it means:
FREEDOM.
Several propaganda themes are already emerging. They will continue to be promoted in various ways, employing many messages. I’m talking about official government and media propaganda.
The first great theme will be: HELP US BUILD A BETTER WORLD. This message is for the sincere people who want to pitch in and do good, in a collective sense. “Let’s build a better world where we can avoid these pandemics, or see them earlier. Let’s form a civilization where equality and justice for all is the top priority. Let’s all share and care…” If you’re looking for logic, forget it. In whatever way they can, the propagandists will imply that somehow the pandemic was a signal that we must “do better.” We must “get through it together” as we did during the crisis. The love we showed then must be the love we show now. An appeal to idealists everywhere who fall for vague generalities like cats fall for catnip.
The second great theme, aimed at the educated class and the technical types and the scientists and “thinkers,” will be: ORGANIZATION. “We must organize world civilization more effectively.” Because somehow, that was the problem Before the Pandemic. Lack of organization allowed things to get out of hand. We can’t any longer be separate groups and nations going their separate ways. Too much disorder. We need better structures in every phase of life. We need more interconnection and coordination. The educated class loves this stuff. It fits their image of success. If society operates like a machine, problems will be solved.
The third great propaganda theme is aimed at all sorts of people who emerged from their lockdown and self-isolation, took a walk in a park on a spring day, and suddenly remembered what they had been missing. Their relief nearly reaches a point of hysteria, as at the end of a World War. The theme is: NEVER AGAIN. “We don’t want to go back to those dark days under any circumstances, and whatever it takes, we’re on board. Tell us what to do.”
With these themes in hand, the technocracy can be enacted. 1) We’re all for building a better world. 2) We must organize it with t’s crossed and i’s dotted. 3) And we must never go back into the dark.
Unless people remember what is left out. THE INDIVIDUAL. And FREEDOM.
Technocratic operators are counting on us to forget. They’re counting on many people who value freedom to say, “Well, it’s all hopeless. I know what freedom is, but too many others don’t. So why bother. I’ll just surrender and float on the tide.”
Floating is an illusion. The tide moves in a planned direction. Toward a shore that isn’t pretty.
Are things pretty now?
That’s called a clue.
Indeed, it is!

Seems a little too late, but at least they are hearing it. They should have been all over this after decades of voter fraud.
Breitbart reports:
The Republican-led Michigan legislature will hold hearings Saturday to consider fraud claims regarding the presidential election.
“Every single legal vote needs to be counted, regardless of who cast it or who they voted for,” said Michigan House Speaker Lee Chatfield (R-Levering), according to the Daily Journal.
“And then the candidate who wins the most of those votes will win Michigan’s electoral votes, just like it always has been. Nothing about that process will change in 2020,” he continued.
Multiple allegations of election fraud, typos, and glitches were made after the election on Tuesday.
“Questions followed after a software glitch initially gave roughly 5,000 votes cast for President Donald Trump to former Vice President Joe Biden in Antrim County, sparking a manual recount,” the newspaper said.
In a statement Friday, state Sen. Ed McBroom (R-Vulcan) wrote, “One candidate seems to be willing to pour gas on every potential fear and doubt about the integrity of the system while the other seems uninterested in some very troubling reports and witness testimony”

“We need to let the system we have work through these problems. It will take time and involve lawyers and arguments: that’s ok and has worked before in contested elections,” McBroom noted.
A Michigan Republican county official won reelection following a computer glitch that was fixed.
“Apparently, there was a technical glitch in Rochester Hills. And so, I actually ended up winning by a little over 1,100 votes,” Adam Kochenderfer told reporters.
Michigan Republican Party Chairman Laura Cox said in a statement, “The irregularities reported this morning are incredibly troubling, especially given how close the election results are in Michigan.”
“At this point, it is unclear whether or not these issues were caused by incompetence or corruption, but the fact that they exist is of great concern, and the Michigan Republican Party will spare no expense to expose the truth of what happened in [Tuesday’s] election,” she concluded.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-11-08--The Same Donald Trump That Tweeted The Electoral College “Is a Disaster for a Democracy” Claimed It

The Same Donald Trump That Tweeted The Electoral College “ Is a Disaster for a Democracy ” Claimed It Was “ Actually Genius ” In 2016 As Joe Biden is being coronated by the media as the next president due to allegedly winning more than enough electoral votes , it ’ s important to understand that President Trump blasted the Electoral College as a “ disaster for our democracy ” several years ago , but when he won in 2016 , changed his tune to claiming it was actually genius .
First , here ’ s the tweet , which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a bit of mocking on social media .
Now , I ’ m not going to mock Trump .
He just doesn ’ t understand that we are not a democracy , but a constitutional republic ( Article IV , Section 4 of the US Constitution ) .
However , the truth is the Electoral College IS a disaster for actual democracy because it does not hold to a popular vote , which our founders were wise enough to establish for us .
• Facts About The Electoral College & Why Our Founders @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is Supposed to Work There have been a number of attacks on the Electoral College as it is by those that want a popular vote in which great metropolises that largely vote anti-constitutional would determine each and every election .
• Colorado Moves To Bypass Electoral College : Will Assign Electoral Votes To Popular Vote Winner Of course , when Donald Trump became president , he changed his tune , calling it “ actually genius.
” Constitutional scholar Publius Huldah elaborates on the formation of the Electoral College and why it is important @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is so important that The States elect the President , and why the NPV [ National Popular Vote ] is so execrable , you must understand how our “ federal ” government was structured and intended to operate .
“ Federal ” actually referred to the form of the national government created in our Constitution , and to the division of powers between the national government and The States .
The “ Federation ” created by our Constitution is an alliance of independent and sovereign States associated together in a “ confederation ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ delegated authority over the States in specifically defined areas ONLY ( national defense , international commerce & relations ; and domestically , the creation of an uniform commercial system : weights & measures , patents & copyrights , a monetary system based on gold & silver , bankruptcy laws , and mail delivery ) .
Those enumerated powers are the only areas wherein the national government has lawful ( constitutional ) authority over The States .
In all other matters , the States retained supremacy , independence , and sovereignty .
2 So @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Federation – could maintain their independence and sovereignty , 3 our Framers wrote these provisions into our Constitution : • State Legislatures were to choose the two U.S .
Senators for their State ( Art .
I , Sec .
3 , cl .
1 ) ; and , • The States , as separate political entities , were to elect the President ( Art .
II , Sec .
1 , cls .
2 & 3 ) .
The People were to elect only their Representatives to the House ( Art @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cl.1 ) .
James Madison , Father of Our Constitution , explains in Federalist No .
45 ( 7th para ) , why this ensured that The States would maintain control over the national government : The State governments may be regarded as constituent and essential parts of the federal government …Without the intervention of the State legislatures , the President of the United States can not be elected at all .
They must in all cases have a great share in his appointment , and will , perhaps , in most cases @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Senate will be elected absolutely and exclusively by the State legislatures .
…Thus , each of the principal branches of the federal government will owe its existence more or less to the favor of the State governments , and must consequently feel a dependence , which is much more likely to beget a disposition too obsequious than too overbearing towards them… [ boldface mine ] 4 State Legislatures Were To Choose The U.S .
Senators !
So !
The appointment of Senators by State Legislatures was to “ secure the authority ” of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and to preserve “ the sovereignty remaining in the individual States ” ( Federalist No .
62 , 3rd & 5th paras ) .
5 Federalist No .
62 goes on to show that another advantage of State Legislatures appointing U.S .
Senators is …the additional impediment it must prove against improper acts of legislation .
No law or resolution can now be passed without the concurrence , first , of a majority of the people , and then , of a majority of the States … ( 6th para ) [ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Since Representatives to the House were chosen by popular vote of the People , and U.S .
Senators were to be chosen by the State Legislatures , no law could get passed by Congress unless it was approved by the People ( via their Representatives ) and by The States ( via the State appointed U.S .
Senators ) .
This is what our Framers gave us to protect us from a usurpatious Congress .
“ Electors ” Appointed by States Were To Choose The President !
Article II , Sec .
1 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ State is to appoint , in such Manner as the State Legislature may direct , a Number of Electors equal to the total number of Senators and Representatives for that State .
These Electors were supposed to be the ones who actually voted for President and Vice President !
Our Framers never intended for the President to be elected by popular vote .
While they recognize in Our Declaration of Independence ( 2nd para ) that The People are the source of political authority , 6 they knew that all history demonstrates that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and judgment to make wise choices when voting for politicians .
In Federalist No .
64 ( 3rd & 4th paras ) , 7 John Jay recognizes that People are ignorant and easily manipulated by small groups who take advantage of their “ hopes and fears ” , to steer them towards candidates favored by the small groups .
Accordingly , the Electors would be “ select assemblies ” “ composed of the most enlightened and respectable citizens ” who would vote for those men who were “ the most distinguished by their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Electors would not likely “ be deceived by those brilliant appearances of genius and patriotism ” which “ sometimes mislead as well as dazzle ” .
In all of Federalist No .
68 , Hamilton explains the wisdom of having specially selected Electors who were “ most likely to possess…information and discernment ” elect the President .
He also warns of … the desire in foreign powers to gain an improper ascendant in our councils .
How could they better gratify this , than by raising a creature of their own to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( 5th para ) and shows why specially selected Electors in each State could best protect us from such scheming foreign powers .
8 Now that we see why Our Framers provided that Electors from the Member States were to choose the President of The Federation , let us see how the voting was – and is – to be conducted .
The 12th Amendment Establishes Procedures For Voting By Electors .
The long ignored 12th Amendment ( ratified 1804 ) sets forth binding procedures for taking and counting Electors ’ votes .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Electors in each State are to meet and cast their votes for President ; and then vote separately for Vice President .
Say a State has 13 Electors , and the voting goes like this : The Electors sign and certify this list and send it to the President of the Senate .
On the appointed day , and in front of a joint session of Congress , the President of the Senate counts the Electors ’ votes from The Member States .
The person with the greatest number of votes for President @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a majority ) .
The person with the greatest number of votes for Vice President becomes the Vice President ( if he has a majority ) .
If one or both don ’ t have a majority – well , here ’ s a novel idea : read the Amendment to find out what happens .
THIS is how Our Constitution – which all those in the political process took SWORN OATHS to obey – requires the elections of President and Vice President to be conducted .
So !
THE STATES , as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Federation , are the ones who were to choose the President .
This is what our Framers gave us to protect us from a usurpatious President .
It also gave the smaller States a voice in the selection of President .
The Purpose Of Our Framers ’ Two Gifts .
So !
Do you see ?
The result of The State Legislatures choosing the U.S .
Senators and controlling the election of the President would be that The States would be able to control the national government and keep it in line @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Framers ’ Gifts away when , in 1913 , we foolishly ratified the 17th Amendment and the popular election of U.S .
Senators .
This is how The States – The Members of the Federation – lost their representation in Congress and their control over that body .
And the Legislative Branch of the national government became a body for sale to campaign donors .
U.S .
Senators now answer to their campaign donors , not to their States .
We threw away Our Framer ’ s second Gift when we foolishly accepted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ handle the elections of President and Vice President .
Thus , instead of being the small bodies of specially chosen wise and prudent men who actually made the selections ; Electors became rubber stamps for the popular vote in their States .
Instead of the Electors choosing the Vice President , party bosses – then party nominees – chose the “ running mates ” .
Instead of the Electors ’ votes being transmitted to the President of the Senate with the total votes listed for each person receiving votes , States began awarding @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the person who won the popular vote in their State .
This is how The States – The Members of the Federation – lost their control over the President .
The President became a person for sale to campaign donors .
Presidents now answer to their donors , not to The Member States .
And the small groups and “ foreign powers ” who got the President elected call the shots .
So , the Electoral College is very important in our Republic and not because Trump said so , but because it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and anti-Americans promote because they don ’ t want to be under the law .
Whether the stacked supreme Court rules in Trump ’ s favor with regard to this election and the obvious voter fraud taking place in some states , even though it ’ s been going on for decades with virtually no justice being handed down against the lawless , the fact of the matter is that the Electoral College will be the deciding factor of the 2020 elections .
…and as Ron Paul taught us , the electors are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , which means those delegates will still be up in the air after the ballots are counted .

The Same Donald Trump That Tweeted The Electoral College “Is a Disaster for a Democracy” Claimed It Was “Actually Genius” In 2016
As Joe Biden is being coronated by the media as the next president due to allegedly winning more than enough electoral votes, it’s important to understand that President Trump blasted the Electoral College as a “disaster for our democracy” several years ago, but when he won in 2016, changed his tune to claiming it was actually genius.
First, here’s the tweet, which by the way, is receiving quite a bit of mocking on social media.
The electoral college is a disaster for a democracy. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 7, 2012
Now, I’m not going to mock Trump. He just doesn’t understand that we are not a democracy, but a constitutional republic (Article IV, Section 4 of the US Constitution).
However, the truth is the Electoral College IS a disaster for actual democracy because it does not hold to a popular vote, which our founders were wise enough to establish for us.
There have been a number of attacks on the Electoral College as it is by those that want a popular vote in which great metropolises that largely vote anti-constitutional would determine each and every election.
Of course, when Donald Trump became president, he changed his tune, calling it “actually genius.”
Constitutional scholar Publius Huldah elaborates on the formation of the Electoral College and why it is important.
Before you can see why it is so important that The States elect the President, and why the NPV [National Popular Vote] is so execrable, you must understand how our “federal” government was structured and intended to operate. “Federal” actually referred to the form of the national government created in our Constitution, and to the division of powers between the national government and The States.
The “Federation” created by our Constitution is an alliance of independent and sovereign States associated together in a “confederation” with a national government to which is delegated authority over the States in specifically defined areas ONLY(national defense, international commerce & relations; and domestically, the creation of an uniform commercial system: weights & measures, patents & copyrights, a monetary system based on gold & silver, bankruptcy laws, and mail delivery). Those enumerated powers are the only areas wherein the national government has lawful (constitutional) authority over The States. In all other matters, the States retained supremacy, independence, and sovereignty.

So that The States – The Members of the Federation – could maintain their independence and sovereignty, 3 our Framers wrote these provisions into our Constitution:
State Legislatures were to choose the two U.S. Senators for their State (Art. I, Sec. 3, cl. 1); and,
The States, as separate political entities, were to elect the President (Art. II, Sec. 1, cls. 2 & 3).
The People were to elect only their Representatives to the House (Art. I, Sec. 2, cl.1).
James Madison, Father of Our Constitution, explains in Federalist No. 45 (7th para), why this ensured that The States would maintain control over the national government:

They must in all cases have a great share in his appointment, and will, perhaps, in most cases, of themselves determine it. The Senate will be elected absolutely and exclusively by the State legislatures. …Thus, each of the principal branches of the federal government will owe its existence more or less to the favor of the State governments, and must consequently feel a dependence, which is much more likely to beget a disposition too obsequious than too overbearing towards them…[boldface mine] 4
State Legislatures Were To Choose The U.S. Senators!
So! The appointment of Senators by State Legislatures was to “secure the authority” of the State governments in the federal government, and to preserve “the sovereignty remaining in the individual States” (Federalist No. 62, 3rd & 5th paras). 5
Federalist No. 62 goes on to show that another advantage of State Legislatures appointing U.S. Senators is
…the additional impediment it must prove against improper acts of legislation. No law or resolution can now be passed without the concurrence, first, of a majority of the people, and then, of a majority of the States … (6th para) [boldface mine]
Do you see? Since Representatives to the House were chosen by popular vote of the People, and U.S. Senators were to be chosen by the State Legislatures, no law could get passed by Congress unless it was approved by the People (via their Representatives) and
by The States (via the State appointed U.S. Senators).
This is what our Framers gave us to protect us from a usurpatious Congress.
“Electors” Appointed by States Were To Choose The President!
Article II, Sec. 1, cl. 2 provides that each State is to appoint, in such Manner as the State Legislature may direct, a Number of Electors equal to the total number of Senators and Representatives for that State. These Electors were supposed to be the ones who actually voted for President and Vice President!
Our Framers never intended for the President to be elected by popular vote. While they recognize in Our Declaration of Independence (2nd para) that The People are the source of political authority, 6 they knew that all history demonstrates that The People lack the knowledge, wisdom and judgment to make wise choices when voting for politicians.
In Federalist No. 64 (3rd & 4th paras), 7 John Jay recognizes that People are ignorant and easily manipulated by small groups who take advantage of their “hopes and fears”, to steer them towards candidates favored by the small groups.
Accordingly, the Electors would be “select assemblies” “composed of the most enlightened and respectable citizens” who would vote for those men who were “the most distinguished by their abilities and virtue”. Furthermore, Electors would not likely “be deceived by those brilliant appearances of genius and patriotism” which “sometimes mislead as well as dazzle”.
In all of Federalist No. 68, Hamilton explains the wisdom of having specially selected Electors who were “most likely to possess…information and discernment” elect the President. He also warns of
… the desire in foreign powers to gain an improper ascendant in our councils. How could they better gratify this, than by raising a creature of their own to the chief magistracy of the Union? … (5th para)
and shows why specially selected Electors in each State could best protect us from such scheming foreign powers. 8
Now that we see why Our Framers provided that Electors from the Member States were to choose the President of The Federation, let us see how the voting was – and is – to be conducted.
The 12th Amendment Establishes Procedures For Voting By Electors.
The long ignored 12th Amendment (ratified 1804) sets forth binding procedures for taking and counting Electors’ votes. This is what it requires:
The Electors in each State are to meet and cast their votes for President; and then vote separately for Vice President. Say a State has 13 Electors, and the voting goes like this:
For President:
Mr. Falconer – 6 votes
Mr. Lossie – 5 votes
Mr. Bell – 2 votes
For Vice President:
Mr. Cross – 5 votes
Mr. Duncan – 5 votes
Mr. Nichols – 3 votes.
The Electors sign and certify this list and send it to the President of the Senate. On the appointed day, and in front of a joint session of Congress, the President of the Senate counts the Electors’ votes from The Member States. The person with the greatest number of votes for President becomes the President (if he has a majority). The person with the greatest number of votes for Vice President becomes the Vice President (if he has a majority). If one or both don’t have a majority – well, here’s a novel idea: read the Amendment to find out what happens.
THIS is how Our Constitution – which all those in the political process took SWORN OATHS to obey – requires the elections of President and Vice President to be conducted.
So! THE STATES, as political entities and as THE MEMBERS of the Federation, are the ones who were to choose the President. This is what our Framers gave us to protect us from a usurpatious President. It also gave the smaller States a voice in the selection of President.
The Purpose Of Our Framers’ Two Gifts.
So! Do you see? The result of The State Legislatures choosing the U.S. Senators and controlling the election of the President would be that The States would be able to control the national government and keep it in line.
The 17th Amendment.
But we threw one of Our Framers’ Gifts away when, in 1913, we foolishly ratified the 17th Amendment and the popular election of U.S. Senators. This is how The States – The Members of the Federation – lost their representation in Congress and their control over that body.
And the Legislative Branch of the national government became a body for sale to campaign donors. U.S.
Senators now answer to their campaign donors, not to their States.
Ignoring The 12th Amendment.
We threw away Our Framer’s second Gift when we foolishly accepted a new system where national political parties handle the elections of President and Vice President. Thus, instead of being the small bodies of specially chosen wise and prudent men who actually made the selections; Electors became rubber stamps for the popular vote in their States. Instead of the Electors choosing the Vice President, party bosses – then party nominees – chose the “running mates”. Instead of the Electors’ votes being transmitted to the President of the Senate with the total votes listed for each person receiving votes, States began awarding all their “electoral votes” to the person who won the popular vote in their State.
This is how The States – The Members of the Federation – lost their control over the President.
The President became a person for sale to campaign donors. Presidents now answer to their donors, not to The Member States. And the small groups and “foreign powers” who got the President elected call the shots.
So, the Electoral College is very important in our Republic and not because Trump said so, but because it restricts this “democracy” that he and anti-Americans promote because they don’t want to be under the law.
Whether the stacked supreme Court rules in Trump’s favor with regard to this election and the obvious voter fraud taking place in some states, even though it’s been going on for decades with virtually no justice being handed down against the lawless, the fact of the matter is that the Electoral College will be the deciding factor of the 2020 elections.
…and as Ron Paul taught us, the electors are the ones casting the vote for president, which means those delegates will still be up in the air after the ballots are counted.
