Unless The People Take A Stand, The New Wave Of Lockdowns Will Set Them Up To Accept Any “Solution” Because They Will Be So Desperate
When people become desperate enough, those in power can get most of them to do just about anything. The first wave of lockdowns knocked us into the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression of the 1930s, it sent suicide rates soaring all over the globe, and it plunged millions upon millions of ordinary citizens into a deep state of despair. Now another wave of lockdowns is being instituted all over the planet, and this is going to perfectly set the stage for the “solutions” that the elite plan to offer all of us in 2021.
It has been said that if you want people to be willing to accept a solution, first you have to make them realize that they have a problem.
And once this “dark winter” finally ends, almost everybody will be absolutely desperate to return to their “normal” lives.
With each passing day, more extremely harsh restrictions are being imposed. For example, a brand new “stay at home order” was just issued in Los Angeles County…
All public and private gatherings with anyone outside a single household are now banned in Los Angeles County, as most of the country grapples with an unprecedented surge of Covid-19. The ban will last three weeks, starting Monday and ending December 20.
It would be nice if the lockdown actually does get lifted before the end of the year, but for at least the next three weeks all 10 million people living in L.A. County will be forced “to stay home as much as possible”…
All 10 million residents are asked to stay home as much as possible and wear face masks when outside — even when exercising at the beach and parks, said the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, which issued the order last week.
On top of that, California Governor Gavin Newsom is warning that he may soon impose “much more dramatic, arguably drastic” restrictions for the entire state…
California Gov Gavin Newsom just warned that more drastic steps could be taken to contain the virus after the state reported another 15k+ new cases yesterday. The Golden State could be facing “much more dramatic, arguably drastic” measures to contain the spread of the virus. The state also broke its record for hospitalized patients yesterday: The state reported 7,415 coronavirus hospitalizations, with more than 1,700 of those patients in ICUs. The number of hospitalizations broke the state’s previous record of 7,170 in July.
Unfortunately, we are witnessing similar craziness all over the nation. In New Mexico, the new restrictions that were just instituted created so much panic that people were soon waiting for hours just to get into a supermarket to shop for food…
New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham (D) has put immense pressure on businesses with her “abrupt” lockdown order – forcing “nonessential” businesses to close and creating what has been dubbed “modern breadlines” — with people waiting 2-4 hours to enter essential retailers, former GOP Senate candidate Elisa Martinez explained during an appearance on Breitbart News Saturday.
After seeing what the first round of lockdowns did to our nation, why would these politicians want to do it again?
More than 70 million Americans have filed unemployment claims so far in 2020, more than 40 million could be facing eviction in 2021, and there has been a dramatic spike in suicides during this pandemic.
When a 90-year-old woman named Nancy Russell found out that another lockdown was happening in her area, she decided to opt for assisted suicide…
According to CTV News, a 90-year-old woman living in Toronto took her own life via medically assisted suicide, the choice made in large part due to the second surge of coronavirus cases and a looming period of increased restrictions.
As I keep reminding my readers, there is always hope if you look at the bigger picture and suicide is never the answer to anything.
Unfortunately, most people are not getting a message of hope from the mainstream media, and Russell decided that the months ahead were going to be too bleak in her nursing home for her to be able to handle…
Residents eat meals in their rooms, have activities and social gatherings cancelled, family visits curtailed or eliminated. Sometimes they are in isolation in their small rooms for days. These measures, aimed at saving lives, can sometimes be detrimental enough to the overall health of residents that they find themselves looking into other options.
Just as we are hitting a low point with this pandemic, authorities all over the globe are announcing that vaccines will soon be available.
In fact, it is being reported that as many as ten different vaccines could be available by the middle of 2021…
Ten COVID-19 vaccines could be available by the middle of next year if they win regulatory approval, but their inventors need patent protection, the head of the global pharmaceutical industry group said on Friday.
As soon as the public can get them, it is inevitable that millions upon millions of people will rush out to get their shots so that they can return to their “normal” lives.
But what they aren’t telling you is that these new vaccines are entirely different from vaccines that you may have gotten previously.
These new mRNA vaccines will actually “hijack” your cells if you take them…
When Moderna was just finishing its Phase I trial, The Independent wrote about the vaccine and described it this way: “It uses a sequence of genetic RNA material produced in a lab that, when injected into your body, must invade your cells and hijack your cells’ protein-making machinery called ribosomes to produce the viral components that subsequently train your immune system to fight the virus.” “In this case, Moderna’s mRNA-1273 is programmed to make your cells produce the coronavirus’ infamous coronavirus spike protein that gives the virus its crown-like appearance (corona is crown in Latin) for which it is named,” wrote The Independent.
Under normal circumstances, very few people would sign up to have their cells “hijacked”, but at this point, millions upon millions of people will be so desperate for a “solution” that they will take a vaccine no matter what the long-term consequences might be.
And if you don’t take one of the vaccines, you may soon find that you aren’t able to fly internationally…
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) announced this week it is in the final phase of development for what it hopes will be universally accepted documentation that in turn could boost confidence among wary travelers. The digital health pass would include a passenger’s testing and vaccine information and would manage and verify information among governments, airlines, laboratories and travelers.
If these new “digital vaccine passports” are implemented for international travel, it is probably just a matter of time before they are required for domestic travel as well.
Of course, there are lots of people out there that are trying to sound the alarm about all of this, but UN communications director Melissa Fleming says that her organization has already recruited an army of “110,000 information volunteers” to combat the spread of “misinformation”…
Fleming told the World Economic Forum that #PledgetoPause and Verified have “recruited 110,000 information volunteers” thus far. She said “we equip these information volunteers with the kind of knowledge about how misinformation spreads and ask them to serve as kind of ‘digital first-responders’.” Fleming has stated elsewhere that the UN has “reached out to Member States, UN media partners, celebrity supporters” and “businesses” “to help us disseminate to the millions we will need to reach” with the campaign.
They want to control what you think as they lead you into a dystopian future that will ultimately turn into a complete and utter nightmare.
The truth is that none of us will be going back to our “normal lives” ever again.
But the elite will continue to hold that carrot out there in order to get you to do what they want, and millions upon millions of people will fall for it.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-12-02--Cities All Over America Are Slashing Police Budgets As Crime Rates Soar

If violent crime rates are surging , should the police get more funding or less funding ?
You would think that the answer should be obvious , but unfortunately , major cities all over the nation are choosing to significantly reduce police budgets right now .
With less police on the streets , criminals are going to have even more freedom to terrorize urban communities , and that will likely accelerate the mass exodus out of our major cities that we have already been witnessing .
It is so sad to watch so many of our once great cities degenerate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and the fact that our economy is crumbling so rapidly is just going to make things even worse .
Let me illustrate what I am talking about by giving you some specific examples .
In Seattle , the city council just voted to reduce the police budget by 69 million dollars… Of course , this comes at a time when crime rates have been steadily rising in the city .
In fact , there have already been more than 8,400 reported burglaries so far this year… In New Orleans , police funding is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a new furlough policy is causing many officers to leave the force entirely… Meanwhile , homicides are up 60 percent this year , and carjackings are up “ more than 100 percent ” … In Minneapolis , the politicians are still squabbling about how much they want to take out of the police budget… Why they would want to take any money away from the police is a mystery , because carjackings in the city are up a whopping 537 percent in 2020… If carjackings are up 537 percent , your city is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ relatives that live in Minneapolis , and it has been heartbreaking to watch what has happened to a city that was once so peaceful .
In Los Angeles , the police budget was slashed by 150 million dollars this year .
Yes , you read that correctly .
Is it just a coincidence that people are now being gunned down all over the place in many parts of the city ?
… I could go on and on , but I think that you get the point .
In this sort of an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that is captured on camera barely makes a blip in the news… Why didn ’ t Corey Thompson ’ s death get much attention from the media ?
It is because people are being gunned down all over the country on a constant basis .
It has become so common that such incidents are no longer newsworthy .
And those that have read my new book already know that the violence is only going to escalate in the years ahead .
100 years ago , young people in America didn ’ t act @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they were raised much differently .
When you put garbage in , you are going to get garbage out .
We have filled the minds of our kids with the most horrible things you can imagine , and it gets worse with each passing year .
A lot of people think that “ education ” is the answer , but our schools are some of the biggest offenders when it comes to corrupting young minds .
In fact , it is being reported that administrators all over the country are now spending enormous @ @ @ @ @ @ @ woke agenda ” in our public schools .
In a society that is starting to spiral out of control , a strong police presence is more necessary than ever before .
Unfortunately , those on the radical left will continue to push to defund the police no matter how high crime rates go .
This is going to have disastrous consequences from coast to coast , and many of our major cities will never be the same again .

If violent crime rates are surging, should the police get more funding or less funding? You would think that the answer should be obvious, but unfortunately, major cities all over the nation are choosing to significantly reduce police budgets right now. With less police on the streets, criminals are going to have even more freedom to terrorize urban communities, and that will likely accelerate the mass exodus out of our major cities that we have already been witnessing. It is so sad to watch so many of our once great cities degenerate into crime-ridden, gang-infested war zones, and the fact that our economy is crumbling so rapidly is just going to make things even worse.
Let me illustrate what I am talking about by giving you some specific examples. In Seattle, the city council just voted to reduce the police budget by 69 million dollars…
The city council voted last week to slash about $69 million in funding for officer training, salaries and overtime, and get rid of vacant positions in the police department as well as transfer parking officers, mental health workers, and 911 dispatchers out of the department. The goal is to ultimately reinvest in alternatives to police in situations such as mental health crises.
Of course, this comes at a time when crime rates have been steadily rising in the city. In fact, there have already been more than 8,400 reported burglaries so far this year…
Meanwhile, Seattle had seen 55 murders this year as of Monday, the highest level since at least 2008, the last year of data available. The troubled city is also suffering a spike in violent crime, with 8,418 burglary incidents, up from to 7,634 last year, according to police.
In New Orleans, police funding is being reduced by 11 million dollars and a new furlough policy is causing many officers to leave the force entirely…
New Orleans Police Chief Shaun Ferguson says as he deals with rising homicide and carjacking rates, the city’s furlough policy is causing him to lose officers. The NOPD is being forced to take an $11 million budget cut in the year ahead.
Meanwhile, homicides are up 60 percent this year, and carjackings are up “more than 100 percent”…
He told the city council that most of those who left last week blamed city imposed furloughs that cause officers to lose two days of pay each month. The furloughs come as the city deals with a 60 percent rise in homicides and a more than 100 percent jump and carjackings.
In Minneapolis, the politicians are still squabbling about how much they want to take out of the police budget…
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Police Chief Medaria Arradondo on Monday rebuffed a proposal by three City Council members to cut the Minneapolis police budget by nearly $8 million, with Frey calling the plan “irresponsible and untenable” amid a year of rising violent crime and a shrinking police force.
Why they would want to take any money away from the police is a mystery, because carjackings in the city are up a whopping 537 percent in 2020…
Within a one-hour period Saturday morning, police reported three separate carjackings in southeast Minneapolis, including one where an elderly woman was struck on the head. The often brazen, daytime attacks are up 537% this month when compared with last November, said police spokesman John Elder.
If carjackings are up 537 percent, your city is officially out of control. I have relatives that live in Minneapolis, and it has been heartbreaking to watch what has happened to a city that was once so peaceful.
In Los Angeles, the police budget was slashed by 150 million dollars this year.
Yes, you read that correctly.
Is it just a coincidence that people are now being gunned down all over the place in many parts of the city?…
Killings are up 25% over last year and shootings are up more than 32%, mirroring increases in violence that are driving concerns in big cities across the nation. Last week, a pregnant woman was gunned down. Children and elderly residents have been killed. Of all the year’s victims, nearly 20% have been homeless. Gangs are suspected in many cases.
I could go on and on, but I think that you get the point.
In this sort of an environment, an execution in broad daylight that is captured on camera barely makes a blip in the news…
New Jersey-based rapper Tripple Beanz was walking to his SUV in Newark on Friday when he was confronted by two masked gunmen and shot dead execution-style in broad daylight. The cold-blooded killing of the 29-year-old recording artist, born Corey Thompson, was caught on surveillance video, which showed his attackers fire multiple shots at the victim as he rolled on the ground.
Why didn’t Corey Thompson’s death get much attention from the media?
It is because people are being gunned down all over the country on a constant basis. It has become so common that such incidents are no longer newsworthy.
And those that have read my new book already know that the violence is only going to escalate in the years ahead.
100 years ago, young people in America didn’t act like this, and that is because they were raised much differently.
When you put garbage in, you are going to get garbage out. We have filled the minds of our kids with the most horrible things you can imagine, and it gets worse with each passing year.
A lot of people think that “education” is the answer, but our schools are some of the biggest offenders when it comes to corrupting young minds. In fact, it is being reported that administrators all over the country are now spending enormous mountains of money to promote the “woke agenda” in our public schools.
In a society that is starting to spiral out of control, a strong police presence is more necessary than ever before.
Unfortunately, those on the radical left will continue to push to defund the police no matter how high crime rates go.
This is going to have disastrous consequences from coast to coast, and many of our major cities will never be the same again.

The latest rigged and fake coronavirus case numbers show that a post-Thanksgiving coronavirus spike is coming, which they probably already planned in advance, considering Newsome says stay-at-home orders may be needed.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-12-03--Clinton Body Man: Bill Visited Pedophile Island, Had Affairs During Obama Admin

Doug Band was Bill Clinton ’ s body man , but that doesn ’ t fully describe it .
For a while , Band essentially ran Clinton ’ s life .
He ’ s also created with the Clinton Global Initiative which turned into the infamous Clinton Foundation .
Except that Jeffrey Epstein also claimed credit for it .
Band built Clinton Inc. into a huge international enterprise .

( Chelsea is probably the heroine in this story . )
Epstein had Band ’ s name in his little black book @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Express .

In January 2003 , according to Band , Clinton visited Epstein ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ James .
Band said it was one of the few trips he declined to go on in his time with Clinton .

thewashingtonstandard--2020-12-03--Abolishing State Education With A Biblical Viewpoint

The state has made its inroads into the family via the indoctrination of children in the public school system .
It ’ s time , however , that people begin to remove their children from the public indoctrination centers and stop allowing statists and humanists to teach our children and return to the old paths that our forefathers held to , which is to teach the Bible .
Common Core Diva Lynne Taylor joins me in this episode , as in the month of December , we ’ ll be looking at what the Bible says about education and whose @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Scriptures referenced and resources for further study .
For I know him , that he will command his children and his household after him , and they shall keep the way of the Lord , to do justice and judgment ; that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him .
-Genesis 18:19 And thou shalt shew thy son in that day , saying , This is done because of that which the Lord did unto me when I came forth out of Egypt .

The state has made its inroads into the family via the indoctrination of children in the public school system. It’s time, however, that people begin to remove their children from the public indoctrination centers and stop allowing statists and humanists to teach our children and return to the old paths that our forefathers held to, which is to teach the Bible. Common Core Diva Lynne Taylor joins me in this episode, as in the month of December, we’ll be looking at what the Bible says about education and whose responsibility it is to teach children.
Scriptures referenced and resources for further study.
For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the Lord, to do justice and judgment; that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him. -Genesis 18:19
And thou shalt shew thy son in that day, saying, This is done because of that which the Lord did unto me when I came forth out of Egypt. And it shall be for a sign unto thee upon thine hand, and for a memorial between thine eyes, that the Lord’s law may be in thy mouth: for with a strong hand hath the Lord brought thee out of Egypt. Thou shalt therefore keep this ordinance in his season from year to year. -Exodus 13:8-10
Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach them thy sons, and thy sons’ sons; -Deuteronomy 4:9
The secret things belong unto the Lord our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law. -Deuteronomy 29:29
And he said unto them, Set your hearts unto all the words which I testify among you this day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law. -Deuteronomy 32:46
This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. -Joshua 1:8
That this may be a sign among you, that when your children ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean ye by these stones? Then ye shall answer them, That the waters of Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the Lord; when it passed over Jordan, the waters of Jordan were cut off: and these stones shall be for a memorial unto the children of Israel for ever. -Joshua 4:6-7
And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea shore.
And Solomon’s wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east country, and all the wisdom of Egypt. For he was wiser than all men; than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Chalcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol: and his fame was in all nations round about. And he spake three thousand proverbs: and his songs were a thousand and five. And he spake of trees, from the cedar tree that is in Lebanon even unto the hyssop that springeth out of the wall: he spake also of beasts, and of fowl, and of creeping things, and of fishes. And there came of all people to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all kings of the earth, which had heard of his wisdom. -1 Kings 4:29-34

Well, let’s see if President Trump will keep his word.

Trump tweeted out, “Section 230, which is a liability shielding gift from the U.S. to “Big Tech” (the only companies in America that have it – corporate welfare!), is a serious threat to our National Security & Election Integrity. Our Country can never be safe & secure if we allow it to stand…..”
…..Therefore, if the very dangerous & unfair Section 230 is not completely terminated as part of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), I will be forced to unequivocally VETO the Bill when sent to the very beautiful Resolute desk. Take back America NOW. Thank you! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 2, 2020

thewashingtonstandard--2020-12-02--Persuading Employees into Vaccine Compliance

A few months ago , when it was becoming obvious that Covid-19 propaganda wasn ’ t going away after a couple weeks of flattening the curve , the New England Journal of Medicine published Ensuring Uptake of Vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 .
The recommendation in this article is that employers be able to either mandate or , offer incentives to employees to get the Covid-19 vaccine .
The incentives could be in the form of punishments such as loss of pay or suspensions .
The reasoning for this was based on the knowledge that forcing the vaccine onto society through means @ @ @ @ @ @ @ work .
The journal also cited the fact that forcing families to get their children vaccinated before going to school was an effective means of ensuring they received their required vaccinations .
It stood to reason then , as far as the journal was concerned , that enlisting employers as a means of ensuring vaccine uptake would be an effective route .
Now , six months later , The Washington Post published an article entitled Employers start preparing for the coronavirus vaccine with a question : Can we require it ?
The overall @ @ @ @ @ @ @ legalities and ethical issues of employers mandating a vaccine to their employees .
The article discusses the use of incentives as well .
Most employers involved , as of now , are sitting on the sidelines awaiting government guidance because the vaccine is being issued under emergency use guidelines , according to the article .
Many lawyers are suggesting that once the emergency use authorization is over , and the vaccine becomes more normalized like a flu shot , employers will be able to mandate it to employees .
Interestingly , at the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mentions the use of some persuasive strategies that might be useful in “ nudging ” employees in the direction of taking the vaccine voluntarily .
The use of rewards and punishments as mentioned earlier , and something a little less obvious .
Framing the issue in a way that makes it difficult to say no .
It is also interesting that the word “ nudging ” is used .
Here ’ s why .
The book Nudge , by Cass Sunstein and Richard Thaler has some interesting concepts describing human behavior and how @ @ @ @ @ @ @ choices .
More on that later .
At the end of the Washington Post article , the suggestion is made to have employees fill out a form that explains why they refuse to get the vaccine .
The claim is made that most people will refuse to do this and go along with vaccination .
Small inducements , in some cases , may prove to be more effective than mandates , Gostin said .
Research has shown that forcing employees to sign a form explaining why they don ’ t want to take @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he said .
“ The more you make them jump through hoops — to sign forms , to make statements — the more likely they are to just acquiesce , ” he said .
“ The change is the default , making it harder to say no.
” What is the research that shows this to be the case ?
According to Sunstein and Thaler , people are more likely to along with the default option because it represents the normal course of action and , it is the one that requires the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Sunstein and Thaler , will as a rule of thumb , make decisions base on which one offers the least resistance .
Framing a choice in a manner that requires effort on the chooser , by making them explain their unpopular position , places them in a position of feeling like they are going against the grain .
In other words , if your employer decides to offer the vaccine but not mandate it , there will be incentives for going along .
If they make you explain why you don ’ t @ @ @ @ @ @ @ putting you on the spot in an attempt to nudge you into compliance .
As I have been saying for some time now , they understand human behavior very well .
Sunstein and Thaler say on page 83 , that a good choice architect must have a good understanding of how humans behave to properly frame default messages to get compliance .
A good example of how a default works can be found in the opt-in or opt-out options for organ donations .
When you get your driver ’ s license you are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an organ donor .
Because you must explicitly choose to be an organ donor , with no opt-out option , very few people opt-in .
Research shows , however , that when the default option is incorporated , and you must explicitly opt-out , leaving the opt-in as the default , organ donations increase .
This is because very few people will take the time to look any further into the issue than just going along with the default under , what Sunstein and Thaler refer to as , the “ yeah whatever @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cited in Dynamics of Persuasion : Communications and Attitudes in the 21st Century , which is a textbook for a persuasive reasoning class .
The text also cites the fact that people will go for the default of opting in because of the conscious effort required to opt-out where the perceived norm is to go along .
By making the opt-in as the default , they are manipulating your perceptions , based on what they know about human behavior , to make you perceive it as the normal course of action .
It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ along .
The question is , who is framing the option for them to participate in the program themselves ?

thewashingtonstandard--2020-12-02--DOJ Quietly Amends Execution Protocols – Clears Way For Gas Chambers & Firing Squads

As the massive human experiment in tyranny , censorship , and fear — otherwise known as 2020 — comes to a close , it just wouldn ’ t be complete without some government agency exhuming the ghost of despotism ’ s past .
In the cherry on top of the dumpster fire that is 2020 , the Justice Department has quietly amended its execution protocols , no longer requiring federal death sentences to be carried out by lethal injection and clearing the way to use other methods like firing squads and poisonous gas .
This news comes on the heels @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Barr restarted federal executions this year after a 17-year hiatus .
Despite bipartisan resistance to this measure , the DOJ has executed more Americans in 2020 than they have in the previous five decades .
Apparently , the feds have put so many people to death this year that they are seemingly bored with their methodology and have moved to bring back gas chambers and death by firing squads .
Last month , with very little coverage in the media , the DOJ ’ s amended rule was published in the Federal Register @ @ @ @ @ @ @ executions by lethal injection or use “ any other manner prescribed by the law of the state in which the sentence was imposed.
” But fret not , Land of the Free , the changes were done in an ostensible effort to support state ’ s rights — or something like that .
According to the Associated Press , a Justice Department official — who asked to remain anonymous — said the change was made to account for the fact the Federal Death Penalty Act requires sentences be carried out in the “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the state in which the sentence is imposed , ” and some of those states use methods other than lethal injection .
The feds promise not to send convicts to gas chambers or firing squads unless the states allow it .
The official told the AP the federal government “ will never execute an inmate by firing squad or electrocution unless the relevant state has itself authorized that method of execution.
” One of those states is Utah , whose Republican-controlled House voted 39-34 in 2015 to resurrect the use of Utah @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this method of state-sponsored murder claim that being shot to death by a group of marksmen is more humane than lethal injection .
To the contrary , the Washington , D.C.-based Death Penalty Information Center says that a firing squad is not a foolproof method because the inmate could move or shooters could miss the heart , causing a slower , more painful death .
One such case happened in Utah ’ s territorial days back in 1879 when a firing squad missed Wallace Wilkerson ’ s heart and it took him 27 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ accounts .
The real issue at hand , however , capital punishment , seems to be taking a back seat to all of this .
For the state to claim the responsibility of justly ending life , it means that the state must never be wrong .
Even the most ardent of statists will have to concede that an infallible state is but a terribly written fiction .
When the state is more concerned about how to go about punishing the guilty , than protecting innocence , we have achieved peak oligarchy .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ University of Michigan Law School reported that 2,696 falsely accused prisoners were exonerated since 1989 .
Some of these people were set to die at the hand of the state for their convictions .
It is no secret that prosecutors will seek the maximum punishment for the maximum charge , and their conviction percentages are in the upper 90 ’ s .
Does that mean that these prosecutors are flawless machines hell bent on distributing some mythical immaculate justice ?
Or , does it actually mean that the entire system wishes more to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ truth ?
It is important to note that this is not a call for crimes to go unpunished , that would be irresponsible .
However , the slaughter of innocence is a far more grave thought .

But as the constant flow of articles on this site about cops framing innocent people illustrates , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Until we strive for a more perfect system , the manner in which death is dolled out by the hand of incompetence , is of no significance , other than tyrants pumping their chests about new ways to kill .

John Adams once wrote:
It is more important that innocence should be protected, than it is, that guilt be punished; for guilt and crimes are so frequent in this world, that all of them cannot be punished….
When the state is more concerned about how to go about punishing the guilty, than protecting innocence, we have achieved peak oligarchy.
The National Registry of Exonerations at the University of Michigan Law School reported that 2,696 falsely accused prisoners were exonerated since 1989. Some of these people were set to die at the hand of the state for their convictions.
It is no secret that prosecutors will seek the maximum punishment for the maximum charge, and their conviction percentages are in the upper 90’s.
Does that mean that these prosecutors are flawless machines hell bent on distributing some mythical immaculate justice? Or, does it actually mean that the entire system wishes more to hand out punishments, instead of seeking truth?
It is important to note that this is not a call for crimes to go unpunished, that would be irresponsible. However, the slaughter of innocence is a far more grave thought.
In criminal law, Blackstone’s formulation (also known as Blackstone’s ratio or the Blackstone ratio) is the principle that:
“It is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer”
In a perfect system, irrefutable evidence would exist in every conviction. But as the constant flow of articles on this site about cops framing innocent people illustrates, this system is far from perfect.
Until we strive for a more perfect system, the manner in which death is dolled out by the hand of incompetence, is of no significance, other than tyrants pumping their chests about new ways to kill.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-12-02--American History Down The Memory Hole?

American History Down The Memory Hole?

Last week we celebrated Thanksgiving , but is this holiday becoming so politically incorrect that one day it will be doomed to be sent down the “ memory hole ” ?
There is a war on American history .
Over the Thanksgiving weekend , Antifa and other left-wing groups toppled more historical statues .
Tyler O ’ Neil of PJ Media describes the extent of this vandalism , which included the spray-painting of anti-Thanksgiving messages and statues torn down in Chicago ; Minneapolis ; Portland , Oregon ; and Spokane , Washington .
Statues that were toppled or defaced included @ @ @ @ @ @ @ McKinley .
It is interesting to note , during these anti-Thanksgiving melees , that George Washington was the first president to declare Thanksgiving as a holiday .
It was a time for the nation to thank God for us having been able to create the Constitution .
And Lincoln was the first president to make Thanksgiving an annual holiday .
Last weekend ’ s vandalism , of course , comes a few months after the toppling of all sorts of American historical statues , including Washington , Thomas Jefferson , Ulysses S. Grant @ @ @ @ @ @ @ war on America as founded continues unabated .
One of the emphases in last week ’ s new spate of American history-bashing seemed to focus on a grievance of some Native Americans .
There was a push for what they called “ a national decolonial day of action ” and “ land back.
” O ’ Neil explains : “ ‘ Land back ’ seemingly refers to The LANDBACK campaign , a Native American movement supposedly fighting ‘ white supremacy.
’ The campaign calls for the dismantling of the ‘ white supremacy structures @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from their lands.
” America has never been perfect .
Injustices have been done .
On the other hand , we have made great strides to address many of these past sins .
Meanwhile , notes O ’ Neil , “ the nefarious message of Marxist critical race theory suggests we should upend society in order to satisfy historical grievances in the name of racial justice .
This toxic vision undermines the very real progress America has made in terms of establishing civil rights regardless of race and in terms of securing broad @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Recently , I spoke with a Native American pastor to get his thoughts on the Pilgrims and American history for a television documentary .
Rev .
Billy Falling , author of “ My Cherokee Roots , ” does not agree with those who denigrate the founding of America for all the bad things that did indeed happen to Native Americans long after the Pilgrims .
For example , Falling said of the Pilgrims , in whose honor we celebrate Thanksgiving : “ The Pilgrims did have good relations with the Indians .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ They showed them love .
They showed them compassion .
They showed them the godly way to live.
” Falling added , “ As a Native American , I thank God for the Europeans that brought us the Gospel and brought us Western Civilization.
” He said that the Indians need the Gospel as much as any group of people .
“ We owe everything to those who brought us civilization and brought us out of the cannibalism and out of all of the sins of the flesh that were practiced in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ world , ” he said .
“ It ’ s hard today to find a ‘ sweat ’ where you can go as a Native American and go inside and ‘ smoke out your sins.
” But it ’ s easy to find Native Americans in any congregation in the United States , worshiping the Lord Jesus Christ because of the Europeans .
And I thank God for that.
” The war on American history does not bode well for our future .
Tens of millions of young Americans are brainwashed into thinking @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
In his nightmare vision of a totalitarian future , “ 1984 , ” novelist George Orwell speaks of history constantly being rewritten by the state in order to satisfy those in charge .

Abolish Thanksgiving ?
No thanks .

Last week we celebrated Thanksgiving, but is this holiday becoming so politically incorrect that one day it will be doomed to be sent down the “memory hole”?
There is a war on American history. Over the Thanksgiving weekend, Antifa and other left-wing groups toppled more historical statues. Tyler O’Neil of PJ Media describes the extent of this vandalism, which included the spray-painting of anti-Thanksgiving messages and statues torn down in Chicago; Minneapolis; Portland, Oregon; and Spokane, Washington.
Statues that were toppled or defaced included George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and William McKinley.
It is interesting to note, during these anti-Thanksgiving melees, that George Washington was the first president to declare Thanksgiving as a holiday. It was a time for the nation to thank God for us having been able to create the Constitution. And Lincoln was the first president to make Thanksgiving an annual holiday.
Last weekend’s vandalism, of course, comes a few months after the toppling of all sorts of American historical statues, including Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Ulysses S. Grant and even abolitionist Frederick Douglass. The war on America as founded continues unabated.
One of the emphases in last week’s new spate of American history-bashing seemed to focus on a grievance of some Native Americans. There was a push for what they called “a national decolonial day of action” and “land back.”
O’Neil explains: “‘Land back’ seemingly refers to The LANDBACK campaign, a Native American movement supposedly fighting ‘white supremacy.’ The campaign calls for the dismantling of the ‘white supremacy structures’ supposedly responsible for removing Native Americans from their lands.”
America has never been perfect. Injustices have been done. On the other hand, we have made great strides to address many of these past sins. Meanwhile, notes O’Neil, “the nefarious message of Marxist critical race theory suggests we should upend society in order to satisfy historical grievances in the name of racial justice. This toxic vision undermines the very real progress America has made in terms of establishing civil rights regardless of race and in terms of securing broad prosperity through a free market economy.”
Recently, I spoke with a Native American pastor to get his thoughts on the Pilgrims and American history for a television documentary. Rev. Billy Falling, author of “My Cherokee Roots,” does not agree with those who denigrate the founding of America for all the bad things that did indeed happen to Native Americans long after the Pilgrims.
For example, Falling said of the Pilgrims, in whose honor we celebrate Thanksgiving: “The Pilgrims did have good relations with the Indians. The Pilgrims were kind to the Indians. They showed them love. They showed them compassion. They showed them the godly way to live.”
Falling added, “As a Native American, I thank God for the Europeans that brought us the Gospel and brought us Western Civilization.” He said that the Indians need the Gospel as much as any group of people.
“We owe everything to those who brought us civilization and brought us out of the cannibalism and out of all of the sins of the flesh that were practiced in the day just like the heathen of the world,” he said. “It’s hard today to find a ‘sweat’ where you can go as a Native American and go inside and ‘smoke out your sins.” But it’s easy to find Native Americans in any congregation in the United States, worshiping the Lord Jesus Christ because of the Europeans. And I thank God for that.”
The war on American history does not bode well for our future. Tens of millions of young Americans are brainwashed into thinking America is evil and always was evil.
In his nightmare vision of a totalitarian future, “1984,” novelist George Orwell speaks of history constantly being rewritten by the state in order to satisfy those in charge. History that was no longer acceptable to the Party was sent down the “memory holes,” where it was to be burned away in “the enormous furnaces which were hidden somewhere in the recesses of the building.”
Orwell adds, “And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed — if all records told the same tale — then the lie passed into history and became truth. ‘Who controls the past,’ ran the Party slogan, ‘controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.'”
Golda Meir, former prime minister of Israel, once noted, “One cannot and must not try to erase the past merely because it does not fit the present.”
Those of us who appreciate what God has done in the creation of America have a lot of work on our hands to try and convince young Americans who have been brainwashed by Marxist assaults on American history in our schools that our history, flawed as it is, is worth preserving. Abolish Thanksgiving? No thanks.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-12-02--A Constitutional Roadmap for Conquering Election Fraud

The following shows what the State Legislatures and each Branch of the federal government have the authority to do to address the monstrous crime which has been committed against our Country .
The fundamental Principle which should guide us in dealing with this issue is set forth at Article IV , §4 , US Constitution .
It reads , “ The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government… ” The essence of a “ Republic ” is that sovereign power is exercised by Representatives elected , directly or indirectly , by The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the heart of our Constitutional Republic .
Therefore , Congress , the federal courts and the Executive Branch [ i.e.
, the “ United States ” ] have the , imposed by Article IV , §4 , to negate the fraud in order to preserve our republican form of government .
As shown below , the States also have authority to remedy the election fraud committed in their State .
These are the clauses in the US Constitution everyone should study : • None is the “ times , places , and manner @ @ @ @ @ @ @ says !
Federal and State judges , and federal and State executive agencies , have no authority to tinker with election laws made by the State Legislatures or Congress .
When they tinker with the laws , their acts are usurpations and must be treated as such [ link ] .
• None Art .
II , §1 , clause 2 : The President & Vice President are to be elected by Electors appointed , in such manner as the State Legislatures shall direct… • None Art .
II , §1 , clause @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of chusing the Electors and the Day on which they Vote .
• None The 12th Amendment sets forth the procedures for how the Electors are to cast their votes for President & then for Vice President .
To our detriment , we have ignored those procedures for a long time .
• None The 20th Amendment , §1 , says the terms of President & Vice President end January 20 ; and the terms of Senators & Representatives end January 3 .
• None And §2 of the 20th Amendment says Congress @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they make a law setting a different date .
Congress did make a law which changed that date to January 6 .
At Title 3 , US Code , §§ 1-21 [ link ] , Congress implemented the constitutional provisions .
Congress understood there would be fights in the States over the selection of the Electors .
So they provided for the fights : At 3 USC §1 , Congress set November 3 as the date for appointing the Electors in the States .
But the next two Sections address what happens when @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 3 .
• None §2 says the Electors may be appointed on a subsequent day in such a manner as the Legislature of each State may direct .
• None And §3 says Electors are chosen when any controversy respecting their appointment has been finally determined .
“ Determining the controversy ” is , of course , the purpose of the litigation and the hearings in State Legislatures .
Article II , §1 , clause 4 , US Constit.
, gives Congress authority to determine the Date on which the electors vote : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 13 provide for what happens when Congress hasn ’ t received the Electors ’ votes by December 23 .
So we see that flexibility to deal with fights in the States over the selection of Electors is built into the US Code .
Now we get to the counting of the Electors ’ Votes in Congress : 3 USC §15 says Congress is to meet on January 6 to count the votes .
The President of the Senate [ Mike Pence ] presides .
He is to call for objections to the votes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ deal with handling the objections in Congress respecting the Electors ’ votes .
So the statutory framework recognizes that selecting the Presidential Electors can get messy ; and that there would be fights over the Electors in the States and in Congress .
We are working through this process right now .

Congress has the power to determine whether the President elect and Vice President elect are qualified for office .
Section 3 of the 20th Amendment shows that Congress has the authority to determine whether the President elect and Vice @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 2 If either is not a natural born citizen , Congress has the power and the duty to disqualify that person .
3 Accordingly , it was Congress ’ duty to inquire into whether Obama was a natural born citizen ; and today it is Congress ’ duty to inquire into whether Kamala Harris is a natural born citizen .
Congress also has the power – and the duty – to disqualify Biden and Harris on the ground that the fraud bringing about their sham “ election ” was an attack on the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ IV , §4 , to have a republican form of government .
It is the DUTY of the Department of Justice to investigate and prosecute the election fraud .
It is disgraceful that they have done nothing .

It is clear that State Legislatures have the power to ignore the fraudulent election and appoint a new set of Presidential Electors .
Such is consistent with the Constitution and the statutory scheme laid out @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Supreme Court has already acknowledged that State Legislatures may do this .
REMEMBER that Article II , §1 , clause 2 , US Constitution , says Electors are to be appointed “ in such Manner as the State Legislatures ” may direct .
Originally , Electors were generally chosen by the State Legislatures .
In McPherson v. Blacker , decided 1892 [ link ] , the Supreme Court gave the history of how each State Legislature chose their Electors since the first presidential election .
It was only later that State Legislatures @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the Presidential Electors .
Congress expressly recognizes that State Legislatures may resume at any time the power to select the Electors .
Remember that 3 USC §2 , says , “ Whenever any has held an election for the purpose of choosing electors , and has failed to make a choice on the day prescribed by law , the electors may be appointed on a subsequent day in such a manner as the legislature of such may direct.
” Additionally , in Bush v.

So yes , in States where the election was stolen , the State Legislatures may – and should – reassume their plenary power to select the Electors .
America urges the State Legislators to be bold and do what is right .
Republican @ @ @ @ @ @ @ defeat the election fraud don ’ t seem to understand the consequences of their refusal to man up and fight the fraud .
Our Country is right now in the process of being overthrown and taken over by profoundly evil people .
You better fight while we still can .

” [ Caps are Hamilton ’ s ; other emphasis added ]

The following shows what the State Legislatures and each Branch of the federal government have the authority to do to address the monstrous crime which has been committed against our Country.
1. Article IV, §4, US Constitution
The fundamental Principle which should guide us in dealing with this issue is set forth at Article IV, §4, US Constitution. It reads,
“The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government…”
The essence of a “Republic” is that sovereign power is exercised by Representatives elected, directly or indirectly, by The People. 1
Election fraud strikes at the heart of our Constitutional Republic. Therefore, Congress, the federal courts and the Executive Branch [i.e., the “United States”] have the duty , imposed by Article IV, §4, to negate the fraud in order to preserve our republican form of government.
As shown below, the States also have authority to remedy the election fraud committed in their State.
2. The Constitutional framework governing federal elections
These are the clauses in the US Constitution everyone should study:
Art. I, §4 is the “times, places, and manner” clause: It means what it says! Federal and State judges, and federal and State executive agencies, have no authority to tinker with election laws made by the State Legislatures or Congress. When they tinker with the laws, their acts are usurpations and must be treated as such [ link ].
Art. II, §1, clause 2: The President & Vice President are to be elected by Electors appointed, in such manner as the State Legislatures shall direct…
Art. II, §1, clause 4: Congress may determine the Time of chusing the Electors and the Day on which they Vote.
The 12th Amendment sets forth the procedures for how the Electors are to cast their votes for President & then for Vice President. To our detriment, we have ignored those procedures for a long time.
The 20th Amendment, §1, says the terms of President & Vice President end January 20; and the terms of Senators & Representatives end January 3.
And §2 of the 20th Amendment says Congress shall meet on January 3, unless they make a law setting a different date. Congress did make a law which changed that date to January 6.
3. The Statutory framework
At Title 3, US Code, §§ 1-21 [link], Congress implemented the constitutional provisions.
Congress understood there would be fights in the States over the selection of the Electors. So they provided for the fights:
A.
At 3 USC §1, Congress set November 3 as the date for appointing the Electors in the States.
But the next two Sections address what happens when Electors aren’t appointed on November 3.
§2 says the Electors may be appointed on a subsequent day in such a manner as the Legislature of each State may direct.
And §3 says Electors are chosen when any controversy respecting their appointment has been finally determined. “Determining the controversy” is, of course, the purpose of the litigation and the hearings in State Legislatures.
B.
Article II, §1, clause 4, US Constit., gives Congress authority to determine the Date on which the electors vote:
3 USC §7 sets that date for December 14.
But 3 USC §§12 & 13 provide for what happens when Congress hasn’t received the Electors’ votes by December 23.
So we see that flexibility to deal with fights in the States over the selection of Electors is built into the US Code.
C.
Now we get to the counting of the Electors’ Votes in Congress: 3 USC §15 says Congress is to meet on January 6 to count the votes. The President of the Senate [Mike Pence] presides. He is to call for objections to the votes. The rest of §15 and §§16-18 deal with handling the objections in Congress respecting the Electors’ votes.
So the statutory framework recognizes that selecting the Presidential Electors can get messy; and that there would be fights over the Electors in the States and in Congress. We are working through this process right now.
4. Congress has the power to determine whether the President elect and Vice President elect are qualified for office.
Section 3 of the 20th Amendment shows that Congress has the authority to determine whether the President elect and Vice President elect are qualified for office. 2 If either is not a natural born citizen, Congress has the power and the duty to disqualify that person. 3 Accordingly, it was Congress’ duty to inquire into whether Obama was a natural born citizen; and today it is Congress’ duty to inquire into whether Kamala Harris is a natural born citizen.
Congress also has the power – and the duty – to disqualify Biden and Harris on the ground that the fraud bringing about their sham “election” was an attack on the States’ Right, guaranteed by Article IV, §4, to have a republican form of government.
5. Election Fraud is a federal crime
It is the DUTY of the Department of Justice to investigate and prosecute the election fraud. It is disgraceful that they have done nothing.
6. The Duty of the Supreme Court
The Supreme Court is surely aware of its Duty, imposed by Article IV, §4, US Constitution, to guarantee to the States a republican form of government where Representatives are elected by The People – and not by corrupt politicians who pay for massive organized election fraud and cheating.
While the Supreme Court obviously cannot enforce its own rulings and must depend on the Executive Branch of the federal government to enforce them; 4 the Supreme Court must issue an Opinion consistent with Article IV, §4, which, when enforced by the Executive Branch of the federal government, solves the present crisis.
7. The State Legislatures should appoint replacement Electors
It is clear that State Legislatures have the power to ignore the fraudulent election and appoint a new set of Presidential Electors. Such is consistent with the Constitution and the statutory scheme laid out in 3 USC §§1-21. Furthermore, the Supreme Court has already acknowledged that State Legislatures may do this.
REMEMBER that Article II, §1, clause 2, US Constitution, says Electors are to be appointed “in such Manner as the State Legislatures” may direct.
Originally, Electors were generally chosen by the State Legislatures. In McPherson v. Blacker, decided 1892 [link], the Supreme Court gave the history of how each State Legislature chose their Electors since the first presidential election. It was only later that State Legislatures began to provide for the popular election of the Presidential Electors.
Congress expressly recognizes that State Legislatures may resume at any time the power to select the Electors. Remember that 3 USC §2, says,
“Whenever any State has held an election for the purpose of choosing electors, and has failed to make a choice on the day prescribed by law, the electors may be appointed on a subsequent day in such a manner as the legislature of such State may direct.”
Additionally, in Bush v. Gore, decided 2000 [link], the Supreme Court said that the State Legislature’s power to select the manner for appointing electors is plenary; it may, if it chooses, select the Electors itself; and even after granting the franchise to the People to select the Electors, State Legislatures can resume the power at any time.
So yes, in States where the election was stolen, the State Legislatures may – and should – reassume their plenary power to select the Electors. America urges the State Legislators to be bold and do what is right.
8. Warning
Republican establishment cowards who refuse to confront and defeat the election fraud don’t seem to understand the consequences of their refusal to man up and fight the fraud. Our Country is right now in the process of being overthrown and taken over by profoundly evil people. You better fight while we still can.
