The first to call the presidential election for Joe Biden was AT & T .
AT & T , through its subsidiary CNN , one of the largest conglomerates in the world with a market cap of over $ 200 billion , billions of which come from lucrative federal contracts , was the first to claim that Biden was the winner .
Beyond government contracts , AT & T has a major stake in the 5G wars and has spent a lot of money investing in the Biden campaign .
AT & T employees were the tenth largest source of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ had attended fundraisers at the homes of two AT & T lobbyists , but the ties run deeper .
Steve Ricchetti , Biden ’ s former chief of staff , and longtime confidant , chaired Biden ’ s campaign .
AT & T has been the only corporate client of the Ricchetti Consulting Group for nine years .
Ricchetti has deep relationships with both AT & T and Biden .
And if Biden were to take over the White House , AT & T would have its man on the inside to protect @ @ @ @ @ @ @ crucial for AT & T considering how hard the Trump administration fought against the illegal merger of AT & T and Time Warner which ended up hurting consumers .
AT & T ’ s future expansion plans require a compliant and friendly administration .
And that ’ s just what Biden would mean .
When Democrats claim that CNN ’ s call of the presidential election is somehow binding , what they ’ re really saying is that AT & T should have the right to pick presidents favorable to it .
CNN @ @ @ @ @ @ @ It ’ s about the money .
CNN , as an economic entity , was a key issue in the merger with the Justice Department urging AT & T to sell components of the merged company , including CNN , as a precondition for the merger .
AT & T and its CNN subsidiary had economic reasons , not just political ones , to want Biden and Ricchetti in the White House .
After AT & T called for the election for Biden , Comcast claimed less than a minute later that Biden @ @ @ @ @ @ @ NBC and MSNBC .
Comcast , like AT & T , has deep ties to Joe Biden and a deeper animus to President Trump .
Biden launched his campaign at a fundraiser at the Philly home of David Cohen .
Cohen is a Senior Executive Vice President at Comcast , and a senior counsellor to Comcast ’ s CEO .
Cohen , a powerful Philly Democrat official , named as one of the most powerful figures in the state , went on to reshape Comcast ’ s lobbying operation .
Comcast , under @ @ @ @ @ @ @ year lobbying in D.C .
The Washington Post called him , “ Comcast ’ s secret weapon ” .
NBC was not a sideline to Comcast ’ s opposition to President Trump .
Like CNN and AT & T , it was crucial to it .
Comcast had swallowed NBC Universal and then went on to blatantly violate antitrust laws and its conditions for the merger .
President Trump had warned that Comcast “ routinely violates antitrust laws ” .
Comcast ’ s own expansion plans , after it lost Time Warner to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of office .
Its attempt to take over FOX ’ s entertainment properties ( not including FOX News ) fell through , and to keep growing it will need to keep acquiring content creators and cable providers .
A merger with Verizon , the path to an even bigger nationwide monopoly , would be blocked unless Biden wins .
Brian L. Roberts , the CEO of Comcast and the son of the company ’ s founder , was Obama ’ s golfing buddy .
Comcast execs and employees have been Biden ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of donations from Comcast executives have gone to Biden .
Comcast employees were the seventeenth largest source of donations to Biden .
This year , Roberts announced that Comcast was plowing $ 100 million into various Democrat-allied organizations including Al Sharpton ’ s racist National Action Network , the NAACP , and the Community Justice Action Fund , a Tides Foundation project .
CJAF is funded by corporations while closely intertwined with Democrat organizations and political agendas .
This isn ’ t just ideological spending .
Comcast ’ s investments in Sharpton and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ grabbing NBC .
When Roberts , Cohen , and Comcast invest in Democrats and left-wing organizations , they ’ re buying support for Comcast ’ s growth .
Despite all its social justice spending , the Trump administration caught Comcast discriminating against its employees in Philly , resulting in a settlement .
Comcast ’ s expansion plans also include an aggressive push into government business .
Last year it picked up BluVector in its search for cybersecurity contracts and created a federal sales division .
Its big plans for federal contracts will work @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
After CNN , a subsidiary of AT & T , and NBC and MSNBC , two properties of Comcast , targeting slightly different demographics , CBS News , or more accurately , National Amusements and Shari Redstone , called the presidential election for Biden .
National Amusements employees directed their donations primarily to Joe Biden .
More importantly , top CBS lobbyist John Orlando has been tipped for Biden ’ s short list to head the FCC .
Along with Disney ’ s Susan Fox .
After AT & T , Comcast @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Disney ’ s ABC News joined in .
Disney boss Bob Iger , who had considered running for president , was one of Biden ’ s big donors , maxing out his donations to the Democrat candidate , and plowing $ 250,000 into the Biden Victory Fund .
Abigail Disney , Roy ’ s radical leftist granddaughter , kicked in another $ 50K .
Disney employees were Biden ’ s fourteenth largest source of political donations .
And the company has significant ties to the Democrat infrastructure .
Biden has longtime ties to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in China .
Disney ’ s big focus is on China .
Its ability to release movies and maintain properties in the Communist dictatorship is crucial to its growth .
President Trump ’ s immigration policies and resistance to China was bad for Disney ’ s business .
Disney ’ s reliance on replacing American workers with cheap immigrant labor and on dealing with China made getting him out of office vital to protecting its business model and its future .
Like AT & T and Comcast , Disney wants President Trump out @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reasons , but to protect its economic dependency on Communist China .
After the oligarchy that is swallowing the economy made their call , the rest was anticlimactic .
The Associated Press , headed by Steven R. Swartz , the CEO of Hearst Communications , and Gary B. Pruitt , the former CEO of McClatchy , called it for Biden .
Hearst is partnered with Disney .
Then FOX News , which depends on AP ’ s data , called it for Biden .
While FOX News describes its data set as the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ properterial , it doesn ’ t come from FOX .
Instead , the FOX News Voter Analysis comes from AP VoteCast .
AP VoteCast is actually a project of the National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago .
NORC is funded by the National Science Foundation whose directors are embedded for six years .
As a result , France Cordova , an Obama appointee , held down the NSF for most of Trump ’ s first term .
That ’ s the origin of the data set FOX News used to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ already made its call last year when it hired Danny O ’ Brien , Biden ’ s former chief of staff and the head of his 2008 presidential campaign , as its head lobbyist .
O ’ Brien went on working to help the Biden campaign while lobbying for FOX .
That ’ s not an accident , it ’ s a plan .
After handing over most of its valuable entertainment properties to Disney , FOX Corp is a shell of its former self , but it still has entertainment and business @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Disney deal really meant was that FOX couldn ’ t compete with the monopoly bosses .
The real picture of the election and of the oligarchy can be seen in the order of Biden calls , with the biggest titans , AT & T and Comcast , getting first in line , followed by powerful , but more limited content powers like Disney and National Amusements , followed by dying organizations like the AP and FOX that have no future except servicing some of the big players in the new economy .
It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or the election .
It ’ s about who runs the country .
The Democrats argue that when AT & T , Comcast , and Disney declare the election , that ’ s it .
A handful of expanding monopolies can and should decide who ’ s going to be the president .
And the party of social justice and dirty cash is not even ashamed to make that argument .
America is not an oligarchy .
Presidential candidates are not selected by a handful of lefty corporations or their media mouthpieces .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ the country ’ s neck .
It has outsourced our economy , plundered our resources , and depressed the nation , while concentrating wealth and power in a few major cities and their suburbs .
The real question on the ballot was whether a handful of oligarchies should be running America .
When you look at the voting map , you ’ re not just looking at counties , but economic segments , some of which are incredibly wealthy because they ’ re concentrated around sources of government and corporate power , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The real poverty isn ’ t in the urban homeless encampments cultivated by Democrats , it ’ s in parts of rural America and the Rust Belt that are struggling to survive , but still working hard every single day .
President Trump won their support because he took on the oligarchy .
Now the oligarchy is trying to crush him .
And the Democrats insist that the oligarchy decides elections .
2020 will not only decide who sits in the White House next year , but whether AT & T , Comcast @ @ @ @ @ @ @ occupy the Oval Office , or whether the American People do .

The first to call the presidential election for Joe Biden was AT&T.
AT&T, through its subsidiary CNN, one of the largest conglomerates in the world with a market cap of over $200 billion, billions of which come from lucrative federal contracts, was the first to claim that Biden was the winner. Beyond government contracts, AT&T has a major stake in the 5G wars and has spent a lot of money investing in the Biden campaign.
AT&T employees were the tenth largest source of contributions to the Biden campaign.
Biden had attended fundraisers at the homes of two AT&T lobbyists, but the ties run deeper.
Steve Ricchetti, Biden’s former chief of staff, and longtime confidant, chaired Biden’s campaign. AT&T has been the only corporate client of the Ricchetti Consulting Group for nine years. Ricchetti has deep relationships with both AT&T and Biden. And if Biden were to take over the White House, AT&T would have its man on the inside to protect its economic interests.
That’s crucial for AT&T considering how hard the Trump administration fought against the illegal merger of AT&T and Time Warner which ended up hurting consumers. AT&T’s future expansion plans require a compliant and friendly administration. And that’s just what Biden would mean.
When Democrats claim that CNN’s call of the presidential election is somehow binding, what they’re really saying is that AT&T should have the right to pick presidents favorable to it.
That’s not democracy. It’s oligarchy.
CNN’s bias is not accidental. It’s about the money. CNN, as an economic entity, was a key issue in the merger with the Justice Department urging AT&T to sell components of the merged company, including CNN, as a precondition for the merger. AT&T and its CNN subsidiary had economic reasons, not just political ones, to want Biden and Ricchetti in the White House.
After AT&T called for the election for Biden, Comcast claimed less than a minute later that Biden was the winner through its properties, NBC and MSNBC.
Comcast, like AT&T, has deep ties to Joe Biden and a deeper animus to President Trump.
Biden launched his campaign at a fundraiser at the Philly home of David Cohen. Cohen is a Senior Executive Vice President at Comcast, and a senior counsellor to Comcast’s CEO.
Cohen, a powerful Philly Democrat official, named as one of the most powerful figures in the state, went on to reshape Comcast’s lobbying operation. Comcast, under Cohen, spends $14 million a year lobbying in D.C. The Washington Post called him, “Comcast’s secret weapon”.
NBC was not a sideline to Comcast’s opposition to President Trump. Like CNN and AT&T, it was crucial to it. Comcast had swallowed NBC Universal and then went on to blatantly violate antitrust laws and its conditions for the merger.
President Trump had warned that Comcast “routinely violates antitrust laws”. Comcast’s own expansion plans, after it lost Time Warner to AT&T, require Trump out of office. Its attempt to take over FOX’s entertainment properties (not including FOX News) fell through, and to keep growing it will need to keep acquiring content creators and cable providers. A merger with Verizon, the path to an even bigger nationwide monopoly, would be blocked unless Biden wins.
Brian L. Roberts, the CEO of Comcast and the son of the company’s founder, was Obama’s golfing buddy. Comcast execs and employees have been Biden’s seventh largest career contributors and 94% of donations from Comcast executives have gone to Biden. Comcast employees were the seventeenth largest source of donations to Biden.
This year, Roberts announced that Comcast was plowing $100 million into various Democrat-allied organizations including Al Sharpton’s racist National Action Network, the NAACP, and the Community Justice Action Fund, a Tides Foundation project. CJAF is funded by corporations while closely intertwined with Democrat organizations and political agendas.
This isn’t just ideological spending. Comcast’s investments in Sharpton and other political organizations enlisted political support for grabbing NBC. When Roberts, Cohen, and Comcast invest in Democrats and left-wing organizations, they’re buying support for Comcast’s growth.
Despite all its social justice spending, the Trump administration caught Comcast discriminating against its employees in Philly, resulting in a settlement.
Comcast’s expansion plans also include an aggressive push into government business. Last year it picked up BluVector in its search for cybersecurity contracts and created a federal sales division. Its big plans for federal contracts will work much better if President Trump is gone.
After CNN, a subsidiary of AT&T, and NBC and MSNBC, two properties of Comcast, targeting slightly different demographics, CBS News, or more accurately, National Amusements and Shari Redstone, called the presidential election for Biden. National Amusements employees directed their donations primarily to Joe Biden. More importantly, top CBS lobbyist John Orlando has been tipped for Biden’s short list to head the FCC. Along with Disney’s Susan Fox.
After AT&T, Comcast, and National Amusements picked Biden, Disney’s ABC News joined in.
Disney boss Bob Iger, who had considered running for president, was one of Biden’s big donors, maxing out his donations to the Democrat candidate, and plowing $250,000 into the Biden Victory Fund. Abigail Disney, Roy’s radical leftist granddaughter, kicked in another $50K.
Disney employees were Biden’s fourteenth largest source of political donations. And the company has significant ties to the Democrat infrastructure. Biden has longtime ties to Hollywood and has helped it broker deals in China. Disney’s big focus is on China. Its ability to release movies and maintain properties in the Communist dictatorship is crucial to its growth.
President Trump’s immigration policies and resistance to China was bad for Disney’s business. Disney’s reliance on replacing American workers with cheap immigrant labor and on dealing with China made getting him out of office vital to protecting its business model and its future.
Like AT&T and Comcast, Disney wants President Trump out, not for domestic or federal contract reasons, but to protect its economic dependency on Communist China.
After the oligarchy that is swallowing the economy made their call, the rest was anticlimactic.
The Associated Press, headed by Steven R. Swartz, the CEO of Hearst Communications, and Gary B. Pruitt, the former CEO of McClatchy, called it for Biden. Hearst is partnered with Disney.
Then FOX News, which depends on AP’s data, called it for Biden.
While FOX News describes its data set as the Fox News Voter Analysis, which sounds properterial, it doesn’t come from FOX. Instead, the FOX News Voter Analysis comes from AP VoteCast. AP VoteCast is actually a project of the National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago. NORC is funded by the National Science Foundation whose directors are embedded for six years. As a result, France Cordova, an Obama appointee, held down the NSF for most of Trump’s first term. That’s the origin of the data set FOX News used to make its calls.
But FOX Corp already made its call last year when it hired Danny O’Brien, Biden’s former chief of staff and the head of his 2008 presidential campaign, as its head lobbyist. O’Brien went on working to help the Biden campaign while lobbying for FOX. That’s not an accident, it’s a plan.
After handing over most of its valuable entertainment properties to Disney, FOX Corp is a shell of its former self, but it still has entertainment and business interests beyond FOX News. What the Disney deal really meant was that FOX couldn’t compete with the monopoly bosses.
The real picture of the election and of the oligarchy can be seen in the order of Biden calls, with the biggest titans, AT&T and Comcast, getting first in line, followed by powerful, but more limited content powers like Disney and National Amusements, followed by dying organizations like the AP and FOX that have no future except servicing some of the big players in the new economy.
It’s not just about President Trump or the election. It’s about who runs the country.
The Democrats argue that when AT&T, Comcast, and Disney declare the election, that’s it. A handful of expanding monopolies can and should decide who’s going to be the president.
And the party of social justice and dirty cash is not even ashamed to make that argument.
America is not an oligarchy. Presidential candidates are not selected by a handful of lefty corporations or their media mouthpieces. The oligarchy has its fists clenched around the country’s neck. It has outsourced our economy, plundered our resources, and depressed the nation, while concentrating wealth and power in a few major cities and their suburbs.
The real question on the ballot was whether a handful of oligarchies should be running America.
When you look at the voting map, you’re not just looking at counties, but economic segments, some of which are incredibly wealthy because they’re concentrated around sources of government and corporate power, and others which are struggling to survive. The real poverty isn’t in the urban homeless encampments cultivated by Democrats, it’s in parts of rural America and the Rust Belt that are struggling to survive, but still working hard every single day.
President Trump won their support because he took on the oligarchy. Now the oligarchy is trying to crush him. And the Democrats insist that the oligarchy decides elections.
2020 will not only decide who sits in the White House next year, but whether AT&T, Comcast, and Disney decide who gets to occupy the Oval Office, or whether the American People do.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-11-12--Louisville Metropolitan Police Department Lied To Keep 738,000 Secret On Network Of Pedophile Cops I

Louisville Metropolitan Police Department Lied To Keep 738,000 Secret On Network Of Pedophile Cops In Explorer Program

Inside information into the years-long child sex abuse saga involving Louisville Metropolitan Police Department ( LMPD ) officers was not at all easy to obtain and now we know why .
The department hid 738,000 records documenting the sexual abuse of Explorer Scouts by officers — and then , according to records requested by the Courier Journal , lied to keep the files from the public .
According to the Journal , last year , the newspaper requested all records regarding the sexual abuse of minors by LMPD officers involved in the Explorer program , a program for children who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , police claimed that they couldn ’ t turn over the records , telling the Journal that they had already been turned over to the FBI .
“ LMPD does not have possession or control of the records , ” LMPD records custodian Alicia Smiley wrote in a Sept. 3 , 2019 , letter to Assistant Attorney General Marcus Jones .
“ When the investigation was taken by the FBI , all copies of the investigative materials … were physically removed from the premises , digital devices and servers of LMPD.
” But @ @ @ @ @ @ @ had hundreds of thousands of records on child sexual abuse by officers in the Explorer program .
According to the Journal , the department still had at least 738,000 records , which the city allowed to be deleted .
The records detail the actions taken — or rather not taken — when the department learned about the sexual abuse of children in the program .
“ I have practiced open records law since the law was enacted 45 years ago , and I have never seen anything so brazen , ” said Jon @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Journal .
“ I think it an outrage.
” Another lawyer for The Courier Journal , Michael Abate , said the city ’ s conduct was especially egregious given the case involves the sexual abuse of children by police officers and the department ’ s failure to prevent it .
Metro Council President David James said Wednesday , according to the Journal , that “ it ’ s very disturbing to me that either the county attorney ’ s office or the police department was so dead-set on making sure those records never @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , R-19th , said , “ There aren ’ t the appropriate words to describe how indefensible this is .
The administration oversaw the sexual exploitation of minors and then deleted evidence.
” Jean Porter , a spokesman for Mayor Greg Fischer , said his “ focus is getting to the truth in this horrific case.
” “ Issues of ownership for records in an investigation led by a federal task force are not as clear as your newspaper would suggest , ” she said in a statement .
“ The mayor is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Jefferson County Attorney ’ s office before deciding next steps , and he remains committed to releasing all documents that the law allows.
” When confronted about being caught in a lie , the department and the city issued a statement “ amending previous factual statements made in error.
” But attorneys for the paper are not buying it .
“ The law requires them to truthfully tell us what records they have in their possession , ” Fleischaker said .
“ The law requires them to maintain the integrity of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the opposite .
That is a violation of the open records law and potentially a violation of the law of tampering with evidence.
” “ They intentionally put them out of reach , ” Abate added .
While the Courier ’ s case deals with just two officers , TFTP has reported on multiple officers involved in the disgusting allegations .
As we reported last year , the city commissioned former U.S. Attorney Kerry Harvey to investigate the LMPD Explorers program for children to determine if sexual misconduct , abuse , and even @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the program .
Hardly an isolated incident , in total , a series of seven lawsuits names more than eight current or former LMPD officers .
In a disturbing description to FOX News , one of the victims went into graphic detail on how he was abused and raped by people he looked up to .
The two former LMPD officers in the Courier ’ s investigation have already been convicted of serious crimes , as The Free Thought Project reported , and the city , with good reason , wanted to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ complaints from parents and reports children were being groomed , propositioned , and even raped .
Wood pleaded guilty to federal attempted enticement charges and was sentenced May 28 , 2019 to 70 months in prison .
Betts pleaded guilty to federal enticement and child pornography charges and was sentenced to 16 years in prison for his crimes .
It is important to point out that none of these charges would have happened had the victims not sought out lawsuits as the department had no interest in pursuing their own—allowing this abuse to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ accusations were followed by lawsuits with one lawyer reportedly representing five victims abused by officers inside the Explorers program .
Now , that number has jumped to 15 victims .
Not only did parents accuse the police officers ’ superiors of doing nothing about their criminal complaints , the Police Officers ’ union also began to stonewall , filing a lawsuit in an attempt to prevent investigators from interviewing more cops .
As TFTP reported : Harvey was paid $ 140,000 to compile the report and released his findings , which took a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that was there were indeed mistakes made in handling the criminal complaints .
According to the Courier ’ s investigation , these mistakes may have been on purpose .
According to Harvey ’ s report , “ Our inability to interview active-duty officers has , however , limited our access to material witnesses.
” Harvey and his team were asked by the FBI to , in essence , stay out of its way and not interfere in the ongoing federal investigation into sex abuse crimes within the Explorers program at LMPD .
It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s investigation is in bringing federal sex abuse crimes , if any , against both past and current officers .
Harvey also stated that a number of additional factors limited his investigation .
First , he was not given access to the items seized by the LMPD ’ s “ Public Integrity Unit ” when it conducted search warrants and seizures of items such as cell phones , social media accounts , and items taken from homes and vehicles .
Harvey ’ s report also stated that since the team did not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ contacted was compelled by law to cooperate .
As a result , Harvey ’ s subsequent investigation focused almost exclusively on Wood and Betts , two former LMPD officers who have both since been convicted for abusing multiple children .
The lawsuits against the other officers as well as the criminal investigations are all still pending .

Inside information into the years-long child sex abuse saga involving Louisville Metropolitan Police Department (LMPD) officers was not at all easy to obtain and now we know why. The department hid 738,000 records documenting the sexual abuse of Explorer Scouts by officers — and then, according to records requested by the Courier Journal, lied to keep the files from the public.
According to the Journal, last year, the newspaper requested all records regarding the sexual abuse of minors by LMPD officers involved in the Explorer program, a program for children who are interested in becoming cops. However, police claimed that they couldn’t turn over the records, telling the Journal that they had already been turned over to the FBI.
“LMPD does not have possession or control of the records,” LMPD records custodian Alicia Smiley wrote in a Sept. 3, 2019, letter to Assistant Attorney General Marcus Jones. “When the investigation was taken by the FBI, all copies of the investigative materials … were physically removed from the premises, digital devices and servers of LMPD.”
But that was a lie, the LMPD had hundreds of thousands of records on child sexual abuse by officers in the Explorer program.

Councilman Anthony Piagentini, R-19th, said, “There aren’t the appropriate words to describe how indefensible this is. The administration oversaw the sexual exploitation of minors and then deleted evidence.”
Jean Porter, a spokesman for Mayor Greg Fischer, said his “focus is getting to the truth in this horrific case.”
“Issues of ownership for records in an investigation led by a federal task force are not as clear as your newspaper would suggest,” she said in a statement. “The mayor is awaiting the independent review being conducted for the Jefferson County Attorney’s office before deciding next steps, and he remains committed to releasing all documents that the law allows.”
When confronted about being caught in a lie, the department and the city issued a statement “amending previous factual statements made in error.” But attorneys for the paper are not buying it.
“The law requires them to truthfully tell us what records they have in their possession,” Fleischaker said. “The law requires them to maintain the integrity of the documents. What they did is quite the opposite. That is a violation of the open records law and potentially a violation of the law of tampering with evidence.”
“They intentionally put them out of reach,” Abate added.
While the Courier’s case deals with just two officers, TFTP has reported on multiple officers involved in the disgusting allegations.
As we reported last year, the city commissioned former U.S. Attorney Kerry Harvey to investigate the LMPD Explorers program for children to determine if sexual misconduct, abuse, and even rape were widespread with police officers involved in the program.
Hardly an isolated incident, in total, a series of seven lawsuits names more than eight current or former LMPD officers.
In a disturbing description to FOX News , one of the victims went into graphic detail on how he was abused and raped by people he looked up to.
“C.F.,” who uses a pseudonym to protect his identity in a civil lawsuit, said that what should have been a golden opportunity to learn about law enforcement became a nightmare of exploitation and sexual abuse.
The two former LMPD officers in the Courier’s investigation have already been convicted of serious crimes, as The Free Thought Project reported, and the city, with good reason, wanted to know more about how police handled the complaints from parents and reports children were being groomed, propositioned, and even raped.
As TFTP reported in October 2017:
Brandon Wood…allegedly raped a teenage boy, both in [his] car and in a residence, and filmed the crime for the purposes of producing pornography. [Kenneth] Betts and Wood were police officer mentors in the Youth Explorer Program for kids who want to one day become law enforcement officers. It was inside the mentorship program that they are accused of finding their victims.
Wood pleaded guilty to federal attempted enticement charges and was sentenced May 28, 2019 to 70 months in prison. Betts pleaded guilty to federal enticement and child pornography charges and was sentenced to 16 years in prison for his crimes.
It is important to point out that none of these charges would have happened had the victims not sought out lawsuits as the department had no interest in pursuing their own—allowing this abuse to go on for years.
The original accusations were followed by lawsuits with one lawyer reportedly representing five victims abused by officers inside the Explorers program. Now, that number has jumped to 15 victims.
Not only did parents accuse the police officers’ superiors of doing nothing about their criminal complaints, the Police Officers’ union also began to stonewall, filing a lawsuit in an attempt to prevent investigators from interviewing more cops. As TFTP reported:
Just as the investigation into alleged sex scandals involving teenage explorers and Louisville police officers was progressing, the police union stepped in and filed a lawsuit to prevent at least three other officers from testifying in the case. The River City Fraternal Order of Police (RCFOP) filed a lawsuit mid-August to prevent the officers from incriminating themselves in the involuntary interviews with a private attorney hired at the request of the mayor’s office. Officers Matthew Gelhausen, Joseff Keeling and Paul Paris were protected from being forced to give a deposition to the lawyer as a result of the lawsuit filed by their union.
Harvey was paid $140,000 to compile the report and released his findings, which took a year to complete. His team concluded that was there were indeed mistakes made in handling the criminal complaints. According to the Courier’s investigation, these mistakes may have been on purpose.
According to Harvey’s report, “Our inability to interview active-duty officers has, however, limited our access to material witnesses.” Harvey and his team were asked by the FBI to, in essence, stay out of its way and not interfere in the ongoing federal investigation into sex abuse crimes within the Explorers program at LMPD. It is unclear how far along the FBI’s investigation is in bringing federal sex abuse crimes, if any, against both past and current officers. Harvey also stated that a number of additional factors limited his investigation.
First, he was not given access to the items seized by the LMPD’s “Public Integrity Unit” when it conducted search warrants and seizures of items such as cell phones, social media accounts, and items taken from homes and vehicles. Harvey’s report also stated that since the team did not have subpoena power, no one they contacted was compelled by law to cooperate. As a result, Harvey’s subsequent investigation focused almost exclusively on Wood and Betts, two former LMPD officers who have both since been convicted for abusing multiple children.
The lawsuits against the other officers as well as the criminal investigations are all still pending.

I ’ ve made no bones about QAnon being a psyop that has caused American patriots to stand down when they should have been standing up .

I’ve made no bones about QAnon being a psyop that has caused American patriots to stand down when they should have been standing up. However, I have always acknowledged that there were people in that movement who had not completely lost their minds and attempted to understand the “Q drops” in light of information and actions that were occurring. Now, it appears that many QAnons are taking YouTube to court, possibly the supreme Court, in order to defend themselves against the fascists at YouTube.
Raul Diego has the story.
The welding of American politics with social media may be the defining moment of a sea change that is taking place at the very top echelons of power in the United States and the world. In the run-up to the 2020 U.S. elections, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube all revealed their inescapable ties to the establishment when they launched an information warfare campaign against their own users and content creators in a bid to shape perceptions and control national discourse on the government’s behalf.
As the most contentious election in living memory drags on days after the vote, itself, the massive purge of profiles and content deemed politically dangerous carried out by the most popular social media platforms just over two weeks before Election Day, went practically unnoticed by everyone other than those who were actually de-platformed and their followers.
In mid-October, Google-owned YouTube and other social media giants purged the accounts of the most popular QAnon channels, spurring a class-action lawsuit against the video streaming platform filed in the Northern District of California later that month.
The case
A total of eight QAnon YouTube stars and seven more unnamed plaintiffs brought a first amendment suit against Google and its subsidiary YouTube on October 26, alleging a violation of their constitutional right to free speech and of the companies’ own terms of service (TOS) agreements. Among those named in the complaint are Polly St. George, who despite being fairly new on the scene has accumulated a considerable following and Dave Hayes, a.k.a Preying Medic, who is one of QAnon’s more popular “Q drops” interpreter, deciphering the supposedly coded messages for the masses of Q followers.
After a curious request by the plaintiffs for a change on the bench, the trial came to a quick conclusion on November 3, when the judge dismissed the complaint on the grounds that they were unlikely “to succeed with claims that YouTube violated its terms of service.”
Given how the trial unfolded and other notable details surrounding the case, it is more than likely that the QAnon cohort suing YouTube was looking for a quick and unfavorable result in the district court in order to pursue its constitutional argument in a higher court on appeal; a tactic developed by legal teams funded over decades by a network of conservative billionaires, like Charles Koch, to change the laws in favor of their business enterprises at the expense of the common interest.
Despite the extensive arguments made in the complaint over free speech and of YouTube’s infringement on First Amendment rights, the filing only sought an emergency injunction to compel the company to reinstate the deleted channels and content. Their true intentions, however, became manifest when the plaintiffs divorced their constitutional arguments from the current legal action, prompting the judge to rule on a different basis and allow the QAnon stars to pursue these “at a later time.”
The bill
Classified as a civil rights case, the lawsuit centers around the timing of YouTube’s QAnon channel purge, which followed a resolution condemning QAnon specifically and called for the FBI and all federal law enforcement agencies to “focus on preventing” the proliferation of “fringe political conspiracy theories” such as QAnon.
H.R. 1154 was passed by the House Judiciary and Intelligence committee on October 2. Several days later, all the major social media networks began removing QAnon-related content from their platforms. As far as the plaintiffs in the case are concerned, this constitutes “state action” by YouTube, which capitulated to “government coercion to terminate” their accounts and, therefore, a violation of their constitutional right to free speech.
The plaintiffs further argue that YouTube breached its own TOS agreement when it suspended their accounts without cause and failed to provide a reason in accordance with their TOS. It was upon these secondary allegations that the judge based her decision to deny the group of QAnon stars the emergency restraining order to have their channels reinstated.
“Upon reviewing YouTube’s TOS agreement in totality, the court agrees with [Google],” Judge Beth L. Freeman wrote in her decision, which couldn’t have come as a surprise to the prosecution given Freeman’s penchant for siding with Big Tech. Nevertheless, Freeman, who had the case reassigned to her by the plaintiff’s own request, left the main thrust of the lawsuit intact and the door wide open for a new action.
The Rise of the Uniparty
Denver Riggleman is one of five co-sponsors of House Bill 1154, and one of the most outspoken in the media about QAnon, expressing his low opinion of the phenomenon on corporate news outlets on many occasions. “I might as well piss everyone off,” Riggleman told NBC’s Chuck Todd. “The fact that we’re trying to appeal to them is ridiculous. I guess I scratch my head, as a former intelligence officer, Chuck — is what are we doing here?”
The former intelligence officer should not be surprised that he just lost his congressional seat to another Republican whose views more closely align with the momentum far-right positions have gained throughout a sizable portion of the country’s population. Public offices from Utah to North Carolina are being filled with politicians who either sympathize with, or pay lip service to, QAnon followers.
In the wake of his recent defeat, Riggleman says he might run for governor of Virginia but claims to be unsure whether that will be as a Republican or as an independent. The ousted congressman believes QAnon will destroy the two-party system and muses about the emergence of a new centrist “third” party.
The former representative might be correct about his prediction, but with a few exceptions. That new, centrist party is already here as the Donald Trump effect brings the worst of the neoliberal Democrats and neoconservative Republicans together under the still uncertified Biden administration in which people like Mitt Romney and are floated as serious contenders for a cabinet position in a Democratic White House.
#ThemToo
The examples cited in the bill sponsored by Riggleman and four others that underlies the free speech case brought against YouTube range from plotting an armed raid to blocking traffic and making accusations against a political figure – namely Joe Biden.
Based on these incidents, and a strong emphasis on the anti-Semitic undercurrents of the QAnon quasi-ideology, the resolution goes on to condemn QAnon, but also “all other groups and ideologies, from the far left to the far right,” and singles out QAnon to be probed by the American intelligence community to identify “any foreign support, assistance, or online amplification” of its message.
There is an outside chance that the plaintiffs don’t pursue their cause in a different court. But, the re-assignment of the judge in this case at the plaintiff’s request strikes as a prelude to just that.
Judge Virginia K. DeMarchi, who was originally assigned to the case seemed like a perfect choice for the prosecution. A Trump-appointed Magistrate judge who had shown a soft spot for White supremacists when she released a Sonoma chapter president of the Hells Angels criminal organization on bail in an ongoing murder trial.
Her replacement, an Obama appointee, made quick work of the initial complaint by stripping the case of any challenge to Google’s corporate right to ban, remove, or de-platform any user they wish. All that remains is a constitutional argument with no teeth, which the plaintiffs are very likely to chase all the way to the Supreme Court if they can.
Their lawyer, M. Cris Armenta from Armenta & Sol, PC, knows a thing or two about high profile, high publicity social media trials. She is one of the lawyers representing hundreds of Hollywood actresses in the first class-action lawsuits brought against Harvey Weinstein and the launching pad of the #MeToo hashtag social media movement, as well as plaintiffs in the Innocence of Muslims film case against Google in 2015.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-11-12--Grinding Us Down:  Congress Pushes Bill To Usher In More Globalism, Control & Indoctrination

Anti Fed Ed Warriors , if you missed the Sons of Liberty show for 11/11/20 , then I ’ ve provided the link for you here .
My host , Tim Brown , and I went over several points of HR 7617 ( 2021 Appropriations bill for several US federal agencies , including U.S. Dept .
of Education ) .
This article is to serve as a follow up to the show .
( *Note : Setting Brushfires also cross-posted the interview . )
If you missed the show , the entire point is the HR 7617 is nothing more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ usher in globalism , control , and , shifting education from academics to socialist crushing workforce preparations .
We highlighted how youth ( ages 5-17 are used in this system ) , how older citizens were also thrown is for productive servitude .
No portion of the American population groups is being left out of the roughly $ 44 billion dollars in ‘ education ’ or related ‘ education activities/services ’ in HR 7617 .
As I shared during the broadcast , some of the notes I had were not covered .
Below @ @ @ @ @ @ @ biggest ones NOT covered .
The most important notes on HR 7617 : It passed the House and has been in the Senate since August ; however if you look through the almost 1200 pages , you ’ ll find globalism , many other federal ‘ laws ’ and programs ; NPs ( non profits ) , P3s ( public private partnerships ) , as well as the entire list of every Trump ( or related to his family ) entity known to us as being further disabled from receiving any kinds of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
You will also find that education is tied to labor , health care , prison , behavioral health research , the environment , and even how the federal gov ’ t will use ‘ environmental clean up ( aka : ‘ science ’ , ‘ science activities ’ , or ‘ innovation investigations ’ ) to gain ‘ real property ’ .
In all , education is embedded 161 times .
Global is embedded 65 times under war on terrorism , healthcare , and culture/social engagement .
Behavioral health is tied to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ COVID 19 emergencies ” used as an excuse for embedding the CARES Act .
A special nod to the non public schools and teachers was also given .
How does the CARES Act impact education ?
In the image above , you see how much of the CARES Act was thrown at the U.S. Dept .
of Education .
Back in August 2020 , I gave you a short video of the overreaches .
Among them : ‘ free money ’ for ‘ school choice ’ ( which is a fallacy thanks @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 17 .
Stated there , all education must be aligned to the same post-secondary readiness standards as laid out in the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act . )
Warriors , HR 7617 has set aside $ 3.7 billion in taxpayer funds ( $ 925 million must go to youth workforce prep ) !
The CARES Act also laid out money for post-COVID safety .
HR 7617 has set aside billions for this same thing .
You ’ ll find the direct reference to non public teachers and schools in HR 7617 , on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the UN ( United Nations ) and their SDGs ( Sustainable Development Goals ) can be found in HR 7617 .
Mainly via our infrastructure ( water supply , regionalism , etc. )
.
I was able to locate a tool from the US Gov ’ t you can use to see how far we , as America , have moved in 100 % alignment .
As far as the US gov ’ t tool for the SDGs , education ( SDG # 4 ) shows , in point 4.7.1 just how @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Warriors , much of the SDG global education is centered on competency based credentials for SDG # 8 ( Decent Work/Economic Growth ) .
Why is so much of the CCSS Machine rhetoric on economic status as opposed to academic prowess ?
Because , education was chosen by the World Bank , the Int ’ l Monetary Fund , World Health Organization , the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development , AND , the United Nations ; as THE change agent to shift learning from the basics to the job market !
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ again a tool for ‘ economic adjustment ’ .
What does this mean ?
The continuation of the caste system foundation from the former communist/socialist nations has been set into the American system of government .
( *Note : here ’ s an article I published showing how military bases and Common Core were used to force economic adjustments in the communities .
HR 7617 wants to extend this and have LEAs ( Local Education Agencies ) match federal funds . )
Warriors , go to Page 596 of HR 7617 and you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ new federal historical commission to dovetail to not only education , but peace building in our nation .
This is NOT the 1776 Commission , President Trump unconstitutionally set in place .
HR 7617 ’ s is a different one .
In the following pages of HR 7617 , note the duties and who is appointed .
Then listen to the interview on this newer commission ’ s dangers .
Did you know the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is ‘ in bed ’ with the UN ?
Here ’ s what I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it ’ s embedding of the Army group : So , where will you find the Army Corps in HR 7617 ?
Begin on Page 319 .
Then note their responsibilities in relation to the civil workforce ( that ’ s We the People ) as far the the Southern US border .
Then , factor in the USMCA ( US-Mexico-Canada Agreement ) .
The USMCA Implementation Act was a Congressional misuse in the most egregious ways and opened the way for the UN ’ s overreaches .
If you missed my 4 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Agreement AND the Implementation Act are , go here .
You ’ ll go to Part 4 , the Conclusion , but will be able to access Parts 1-3 from that same article , too .
So , Warriors , what can we do ?
Contact our Senators ( after all HR 7617 is in their hands ) , tell them NONE of this is constitutional .
NONE of this is American based !
Since knowing the U.S. Army ( as is every branch of our military ) is with the UN , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Demanding your U.S. Constitution be adhered to is VERY patriotic !
Demanding your tax dollars to STOP being misrepresented ( or altogether dismissed ) is a constitutional right of every American citizen !

Anti Fed Ed Warriors, if you missed the Sons of Liberty show for 11/11/20, then I’ve provided the link for you here.

No portion of the American population groups is being left out of the roughly $44 billion dollars in ‘education’ or related ‘education activities/services’ in HR 7617.
As I shared during the broadcast, some of the notes I had were not covered. Below, the ones in red were the biggest ones NOT covered.
The most important notes on HR 7617: It passed the House and has been in the Senate since August; however if you look through the almost 1200 pages, you’ll find globalism, many other federal ‘laws’ and programs; NPs (non profits),
P3s (public private partnerships), as well as the entire list of every Trump (or related to his family) entity known to us as being further disabled from receiving any kinds of contracts, grants, loans, etc.
You will also find that education is tied to labor, health care, prison, behavioral health research, the environment, and even how the federal gov’t will use ‘environmental clean up (aka: ‘science’, ‘science activities’, or ‘innovation investigations’) to gain ‘real property’.
In all, education is embedded 161 times. Global is embedded 65 times under war on terrorism, healthcare, and culture/social engagement.
Behavioral health is tied to biotechnology/biomedicines.
You’ll also find “COVID 19 emergencies” used as an excuse for embedding the CARES Act. A special nod to the non public schools and teachers was also given.
CARES and HR 7617:
How does the CARES Act impact education? In the image above, you see how much of the CARES Act was thrown at the U.S. Dept. of Education.
Back in August 2020, I gave you a short video of the overreaches. Among them: ‘free money’ for ‘school choice’ (which is a fallacy thanks the Every Student Succeeds Act, page 17. Stated there, all education must be aligned to the same post-secondary readiness standards as laid out in the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act.) Warriors, HR 7617 has set aside $3.7 billion in taxpayer funds ($925 million must go to youth workforce prep)!
The CARES Act also laid out money for post-COVID safety. HR 7617 has set aside billions for this same thing. You’ll find the direct reference to non public teachers and schools in HR 7617, on Page 843.
The UN and HR 7617:
Warriors, so much of the UN (United Nations) and their SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) can be found in HR 7617. Mainly via our infrastructure (water supply, regionalism, etc.). I was able to locate a tool from the US Gov’t you can use to see how far we, as America, have moved in 100% alignment.
As far as the US gov’t tool for the SDGs, education (SDG #4) shows, in point 4.7.1 just how for the globalization in education has progressed.
Warriors, much of the SDG global education is centered on competency based credentials for SDG #8 (Decent Work/Economic Growth).
Why is so much of the CCSS Machine rhetoric on economic status as opposed to academic prowess? Because, education was chosen by the World Bank, the Int’l Monetary Fund, World Health Organization, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, AND, the United Nations; as THE change agent to shift learning from the basics to the job market! In HR 7617, education is once again a tool for ‘economic adjustment’. What does this mean? The continuation of the caste system foundation from the former communist/socialist nations has been set into the American system of government. (*Note: here’s an article I published showing how military bases and Common Core were used to force economic adjustments in the communities. HR 7617 wants to extend this and have LEAs (Local Education Agencies) match federal funds.)
American Misuses Of Duty in HR 7617:
Warriors, go to Page 596 of HR 7617 and you’ll see an establishment of an new federal historical commission to dovetail to not only education, but peace building in our nation. This is NOT the 1776 Commission, President Trump unconstitutionally set in place. HR 7617’s is a different one. In the following pages of HR 7617, note the duties and who is appointed. Then listen to the interview on this newer commission’s dangers.
Did you know the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is ‘in bed’ with the UN? Here’s what I found, after reading HR 7617 and it’s embedding of the Army group:
https://unstats.un.org/unsd/ geoinfo/UNGEGN/docs/11th- uncsgn-docs/E_Conf.105_104_ CRP.104_USACE-UNCSGNpaper.pdf The US Army Corps of Engineers working with the US federal government isn’t a surprise, but this was presented at a previous UN meeting:
(*Note: with HR 7617’s acquisition/condemnation of real property, this could be a key)
https://www.linkedin.com/in/ maj-gen-mark-toy-p-e-b1a97936 A former US military person is now heading a UN agency:
https://apps.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/ fulltext/u2/a502379.pdf The same USACE mentioned the Army/Engineers above, also has this document:
(*Note: sustainability is woven in)
So, where will you find the Army Corps in HR 7617? Begin on Page 319. Then note their responsibilities in relation to the civil workforce (that’s We the People) as far the the Southern US border.
Then, factor in the USMCA (US-Mexico-Canada Agreement). The USMCA Implementation Act was a Congressional misuse in the most egregious ways and opened the way for the UN’s overreaches. If you missed my 4 part series on just how horrid the Agreement AND the Implementation Act are, go here. You’ll go to Part 4, the Conclusion, but will be able to access Parts 1-3 from that same article, too.
(*Note: below is a dated screen shot of the USA’s SDG score. The HR 7617 tie to this? Our scores will only increase if this Appropriations Bill is turned into law.)
Closing:
So, Warriors, what can we do? Contact our Senators (after all HR 7617 is in their hands), tell them NONE of this is constitutional. NONE of this is American based! Since knowing the U.S. Army (as is every branch of our military) is with the UN, we should also contact our military personnel.
Demanding your U.S. Constitution be adhered to is VERY patriotic! Demanding your tax dollars to STOP being misrepresented (or altogether dismissed) is a constitutional right of every American citizen!

thewashingtonstandard--2020-11-13--A Biden Presidency Would Be A Dream Scenario For Our Corporate Overlords

One of the biggest reasons why the elite hate Donald Trump so much is because they can ’ t control him .
But if Joe Biden ends up in the White House , that won ’ t be a problem .
Our corporate overlords know exactly what they are getting with Biden , and that is why they backed him so strongly during the campaign .
In fact , if our corporate overlords could create a perfect president from scratch , they would end up with someone that looks very similar to Joe Biden .
Let me explain what I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ value in any politician is weakness , and today Joe Biden is very weak .
At one time he had a little bit more of a backbone , but at this point , he has deteriorated very badly and his physical , mental and emotional weaknesses are apparent to everyone .
But a president can ’ t afford to be weak , because pressure is put on the White House from a thousand different directions on a daily basis .
Any sign of weakness from a president is like blood in the water @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to be all over him .
Ultimately , Biden will be exceptionally easy for the elite to manipulate because of how weak he has become , but the downside for the elite is that Biden may not last that long in the White House because of how rapidly he is physically and mentally falling apart .
If our corporate overlords were creating a perfect president from scratch , they would also want someone that owes them favors , and Joe Biden owes them big time .
In the months leading up to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ big tech companies made sure that any negative stories about Biden were suppressed , and ultra-wealthy donors all over the nation absolutely showered him with money .
In fact , Biden raised money from the megadonor class like we have never seen before .
The following comes from the New York Times… Without the backing of the elite , Biden never would have won , and Biden understands this very well .
The Wall Street crowd was particularly generous this campaign cycle .
In late October , CNBC reported that they were on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ million dollars to Biden ’ s campaign… Needless to say , you don ’ t give someone 74 million dollars without expecting something in return .
And some of the names that shelled out big money for Biden are quite recognizable… In America today , it takes a tremendous amount of money to win elections on the national level .
When I was running for Congress , I did not get even a single penny from PACs , and the guy that ended up winning was absolutely showered with PAC money .
I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ our system works , and it is a lesson that I will never forget .
Thirdly , if the elite could create a perfect president from scratch , they would want someone that is deeply corrupt .
I know that may sound strange , but this is how politics in America works .
When a politician has skeletons in his or her closet , that gives the elite leverage , and our corporate overlords absolutely love to have leverage on our politicians .
As far as Joe Biden is concerned , I don @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Everyone has seen the hair sniffing videos , everyone has heard the Tara Reade allegations , and all of that Hunter Biden stuff is still out there .
If Joe Biden falls in line and is always careful to do what they want , the elite will make sure that Joe Biden ’ s skeletons remain buried .
But if and when it becomes necessary , they will nail Biden with all of the dirty stuff from his past .
Many Americans wonder why it seems like we always have so many @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of course , the truth is that we have so many corrupt politicians because the elite want it that way .
If Trump ’ s legal challenges are not successful and Biden wins the presidency , the elite will be greatly relieved .
It wasn ’ t Donald Trump ’ s policies that enraged the elite so much .
It was the fact that they didn ’ t have control over him .
But under a Biden administration , things will be dramatically different .
His transition team includes executives or former executives @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Capital One , Dell , DropBox , JPMorgan , LinkedIn , Lyft , Stripe , Visa and Uber .
And his agency review team for the Department of Defense contains eight individuals with direct links to the weapons industry… What I have covered in this article is just the tip of the iceberg .
After four years under Trump , the elite are extremely eager to be back in control , and they are almost there .
The Biden administration will likely be a wonderful time for them , but things won @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rest of us .

One of the biggest reasons why the elite hate Donald Trump so much is because they can’t control him. But if Joe Biden ends up in the White House, that won’t be a problem. Our corporate overlords know exactly what they are getting with Biden, and that is why they backed him so strongly during the campaign. In fact, if our corporate overlords could create a perfect president from scratch, they would end up with someone that looks very similar to Joe Biden.
Let me explain what I mean. One thing that the elite value in any politician is weakness, and today Joe Biden is very weak. At one time he had a little bit more of a backbone, but at this point, he has deteriorated very badly and his physical, mental and emotional weaknesses are apparent to everyone.
But a president can’t afford to be weak, because pressure is put on the White House from a thousand different directions on a daily basis. Any sign of weakness from a president is like blood in the water, and the political sharks are going to be all over him.
Ultimately, Biden will be exceptionally easy for the elite to manipulate because of how weak he has become, but the downside for the elite is that Biden may not last that long in the White House because of how rapidly he is physically and mentally falling apart.
If our corporate overlords were creating a perfect president from scratch, they would also want someone that owes them favors, and Joe Biden owes them big time.
In the months leading up to the election, the corporate media and the big tech companies made sure that any negative stories about Biden were suppressed, and ultra-wealthy donors all over the nation absolutely showered him with money. In fact, Biden raised money from the megadonor class like we have never seen before. The following comes from the New York Times…
From Hollywood to Silicon Valley to Wall Street, Mr. Biden’s campaign has aggressively courted the megadonor class. It has raised almost $200 million from donors who gave at least $100,000 to his joint operations with the Democratic Party in the last six months — about twice as much as President Trump raised from six-figure donors in that time, according to an analysis of new federal records.
Without the backing of the elite, Biden never would have won, and Biden understands this very well.
The Wall Street crowd was particularly generous this campaign cycle. In late October, CNBC reported that they were on pace to give a total of 74 million dollars to Biden’s campaign…
People in the securities and investment industry will finish the 2020 election cycle contributing over $74 million to back Joe Biden’s candidacy for president, a much larger sum than what President Donald Trump raised from Wall Street, according to new data from the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics.
Needless to say, you don’t give someone 74 million dollars without expecting something in return.
And some of the names that shelled out big money for Biden are quite recognizable…
Tim Geithner, former Treasury secretary under President Barack Obama and current president of private equity firm Warburg Pincus, contributed $150,000 to the Biden Action Fund in August. Antonio Gracias, founder of Valor Equity Partners, and Jonathan Shulkin, a partner at the same firm, each shelled out more than $300,000 that same month to the committee. John Doerr, chairman of venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins, gave over $355,000 to the Biden Action Fund last quarter. Stephen Mandel, founder of Connecticut-based hedge fund Lone Pine Capital, contributed more than $310,000. Pete Muller, founder of investment manager PDT Partners, gave the committee $360,000. Jonathan Soros, an investor and son of billionaire George Soros, gave just under $145,000.
In America today, it takes a tremendous amount of money to win elections on the national level.
When I was running for Congress, I did not get even a single penny from PACs, and the guy that ended up winning was absolutely showered with PAC money. I learned a very hard lesson about how our system works, and it is a lesson that I will never forget.
Thirdly, if the elite could create a perfect president from scratch, they would want someone that is deeply corrupt.
I know that may sound strange, but this is how politics in America works.
When a politician has skeletons in his or her closet, that gives the elite leverage, and our corporate overlords absolutely love to have leverage on our politicians.
As far as Joe Biden is concerned, I don’t even have to say anything. Everyone has seen the hair sniffing videos, everyone has heard the Tara Reade allegations, and all of that Hunter Biden stuff is still out there.
If Joe Biden falls in line and is always careful to do what they want, the elite will make sure that Joe Biden’s skeletons remain buried.
But if and when it becomes necessary, they will nail Biden with all of the dirty stuff from his past.
Many Americans wonder why it seems like we always have so many deeply corrupt politicians in Washington, and of course, the truth is that we have so many corrupt politicians because the elite want it that way.
If Trump’s legal challenges are not successful and Biden wins the presidency, the elite will be greatly relieved.
It wasn’t Donald Trump’s policies that enraged the elite so much.
It was the fact that they didn’t have control over him.
But under a Biden administration, things will be dramatically different. His transition team includes executives or former executives from Airbnb, Amazon, Booz Allen, Capital One, Dell, DropBox, JPMorgan, LinkedIn, Lyft, Stripe, Visa and Uber. And his agency review team for the Department of Defense contains eight individuals with direct links to the weapons industry…
On November 10, Biden announced his agency review teams, which he says “are responsible for understanding the operations of each agency, ensuring a smooth transfer of power, and preparing for President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Harris and their cabinet to hit the ground running on Day One.” Of the 23 people who comprise the Department of Defense agency review team, eight of them — or just over a third — list their “most recent employment” as organizations, think tanks or companies that either directly receive money from the weapons industry, or are part of this industry.
What I have covered in this article is just the tip of the iceberg.
After four years under Trump, the elite are extremely eager to be back in control, and they are almost there.
The Biden administration will likely be a wonderful time for them, but things won’t go so well for the rest of us.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-11-13--Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell Admits The Truth: “We’re Not Going Back To The Same Economy”

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell Admits The Truth : “ We ’ re Not Going Back To The Same Economy ” Even Jerome Powell is admitting that the boom years are over .
For months , I have been trying to explain to my readers that the debt-fueled “ prosperity ” that we were enjoying prior to the COVID pandemic won ’ t be coming back , and initially I received quite a bit of criticism for saying that .
But that criticism has subsided , because at this point pretty much everyone can see the truth .
Despite stimulus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ unprecedented intervention by the Federal Reserve , we continue to be mired in the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression of the 1930s .
Fear of the virus continues to drag down the overall level of economic activity , more businesses are going under with each passing day , and the layoff announcements never seem to end .
Normally , Federal Reserve officials try very hard to be relentlessly optimistic .
But during a European Central Bank panel discussion on Thursday , Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell openly admitted that “ we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ same economy ” … “ We ’ re not going back to the same economy , ” Powell said .
“ We ’ re recovering , but to a different economy and it will be one that is more leveraged to technology , and I worry that it ’ s going to make it even more difficult than it was for many workers.
” The central bank leader said he was referring specifically to “ relatively low-paid public-facing workers who are bearing this brunt , ” many of whom are women and minorities @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a different economy ” really got my attention .
When I am trying to break some really bad news to someone in a gentle way , I will often use the word “ different ” to describe what things will be like moving forward , and I think that Powell is doing the same thing here .
He knows that there is no way that things will “ return to normal ” any time soon , and he is quite correct to be particularly concerned about how this will affect low paid workers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their jobs at a much higher rate than anyone else , and the job losses just keep rolling in .
On Thursday , we learned that another 709,000 Americans filed new claims for unemployment benefits last week , and that number is more than three times higher than what we witnessed during a typical week in 2019… As of October 24th , a total of 21.16 million Americans were bringing home some type of unemployment assistance .
One year ago , that number was just 1.45 million .
In other words , we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ unemployment nightmare .
And many analysts are deeply concerned that the new wave of lockdowns that is now starting to happen around the nation will cause a renewed surge in layoffs… Yesterday , I discussed the fact that one of the experts on Joe Biden ’ s new COVID-19 advisory board wants a full national lockdown for at least a month once Biden is in the White House .
Needless to say , that would make the economic depression that we are currently suffering through a whole lot worse .
But of course @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out there that simply are not going to put up with any more lockdowns .
In fact , one new survey has found that only 49 percent of all Americans “ would be very likely to stay home for a month if health officials recommend it ” … Millions upon millions of lives were turned upside down by the lockdowns that were previously instituted , and the economic damage caused by another round of lockdowns would be incalculable .

Even Jerome Powell is admitting that the boom years are over. For months, I have been trying to explain to my readers that the debt-fueled “prosperity” that we were enjoying prior to the COVID pandemic won’t be coming back, and initially I received quite a bit of criticism for saying that.

His use of the phrase “a different economy” really got my attention.
When I am trying to break some really bad news to someone in a gentle way, I will often use the word “different” to describe what things will be like moving forward, and I think that Powell is doing the same thing here. He knows that there is no way that things will “return to normal” any time soon, and he is quite correct to be particularly concerned about how this will affect low paid workers.
Low paid workers have been losing their jobs at a much higher rate than anyone else, and the job losses just keep rolling in.
On Thursday, we learned that another 709,000 Americans filed new claims for unemployment benefits last week, and that number is more than three times higher than what we witnessed during a typical week in 2019…
The Labor Department report showed an eleventh straight week that new jobless claims totaled below 1 million. But new claims have not yet broken back below 700,000 since the start of the pandemic and have held sharply above levels from before the outbreak. Throughout 2019, new initial unemployment claims were coming in at an average of just over 200,000 per week.
As of October 24th, a total of 21.16 million Americans were bringing home some type of unemployment assistance.
One year ago, that number was just 1.45 million.
In other words, we are in the midst of a national unemployment nightmare.
And many analysts are deeply concerned that the new wave of lockdowns that is now starting to happen around the nation will cause a renewed surge in layoffs…
As colder weather sets in and fear of the virus escalates, consumers may turn more cautious about traveling, shopping, dining out and visiting gyms, barber shops and retailers. Companies in many sectors could cut jobs or workers’ hours. In recent days, the virus’ resurgence has triggered tighter restrictions on businesses, mostly restaurants and bars, in a range of states, including Texas, New York, Maryland, and Oregon. “The risk may be for more layoffs as coronavirus cases surge and some states impose restrictions on activity,” said Nancy Vanden Houten, an economist at the forecasting firm Oxford Economics.
Yesterday, I discussed the fact that one of the experts on Joe Biden’s new COVID-19 advisory board wants a full national lockdown for at least a month once Biden is in the White House.
Needless to say, that would make the economic depression that we are currently suffering through a whole lot worse.
But of course, there are a lot of Americans out there that simply are not going to put up with any more lockdowns. In fact, one new survey has found that only 49 percent of all Americans “would be very likely to stay home for a month if health officials recommend it”…
Fewer than half of Americans say are very likely to comply with another lockdown, despite growing concerns over the coronavirus pandemic, the latest Gallup polling shows. About 49% of Americans polled between October 19 and November 1 said they would be very likely to stay home for a month if health officials recommend it following a coronavirus outbreak in their community, down from 67% in the spring.
Millions upon millions of lives were turned upside down by the lockdowns that were previously instituted, and the economic damage caused by another round of lockdowns would be incalculable.
But it appears that more lockdowns are coming anyway, and that means a lot more economic suffering is ahead.
Prior to the pandemic, 38-year-old Victoria Perez was working two jobs, but she quickly lost both of them once COVID came along. Now she and her children are living in city housing in Oakland, California, and they are just one step away from being homeless…
Among them is Victoria Perez, who was working two delivery jobs before the pandemic struck. Having lost both jobs in the spring, she is now living with her children in city-subsidized housing near Oakland, California, and hoping to avoid homelessness. The city housing, provided to people at heightened risk of the coronavirus, lasts only through December. Perez, 38, is a cancer survivor.
After the holiday season, what is she supposed to do if she can’t find a new job?
Being homeless is bad enough. When you add children to the equation, we are talking about the sort of nightmare scenario that nobody should ever have to go through.
Unfortunately, the ranks of the homeless are absolutely exploding all over the country as the U.S. economy crumbles right in front of our eyes.
In 2021, I am anticipating the biggest wave of traffic in the history of The Economic Collapse Blog as our ongoing economic implosion accelerates even more. I have been hearing from so many people out there that are deeply hurting right now, and I wish that I had better news for everyone.
Sadly, the consequences for decades of exceedingly foolish decisions are catching up with us, and saying that we are heading into a “different economy” is definitely a major understatement.

Unelected Bureaucrat Fauci With Zero Authority Warns In Violation Of The Law: Wear Your Mask Or We’ll Lock You Down Again
Dr. Anthony Fauci is continuing his tyrannical approach with new warnings. He says that if we want to avoid being locked down again, we should be wearing the ritualist shame muzzles the political parasites keep pushing.
Dr. Fauci says he doesn’t believe the United States will need to go into lockdown to fight the coronavirus scam if people double down on wearing masks and social distancing. The nation’s top infectious disease expert medical tyrant says “the cavalry is coming” in the form of vaccines and that “Help is really on the way.”
Army General In Charge Of COVID-19 Vaccine Distribution Fears The Public Won’t Take It
Based on statements from Donald Trump that the military will be distributing the vaccine, the use of the word “cavalry” isn’t that surprising. The fact that anyone is lining up for this vaccine after these psychopaths have already told us it won’t return our lives to “normal,” is surprising.
They Moved The Goalposts…AGAIN!: “It’s Not Over When The Vaccine Arrives”
Fauci says there are fundamental things Americans can do to stem the spread of the coronavirus. They include “universal and uniform” wearing of masks, avoiding crowds, keeping social distance, and washing hands. He says that sounds simple against a very difficult challenge but “it really does make a difference.”
“The best opposite strategy to locking down is to intensify the public health measures short of locking down.” Dr. Fauci speaks on the COVID crisis and the possibility of a second lockdown as U.S. cases soar to new records. https://t.co/U6hIuaJiY1 pic.twitter.com/FmZpA2mpWj — Good Morning America (@GMA) November 12, 2020
This is an absolutely absurd and ridiculous notion that we can somehow stop all humans from ever getting a cold ever again. As The Mises Institute points out, this is not about a virus or health. This is about control and power. The more they can get people to obey their draconian edicts, the more power they have.
But, putting such life-altering power—over matters such as forced lockdowns—in the hands of people who pay a negligible price for being wrong (some political damage, maybe) is not only asinine, it is plain wrong. Coercion is wrong. Taking the freedom of choice away from people by force is wrong. Tell the old woman living with a terminal illness that she must spend the final months of her life in isolation; that she can’t take a trip to the lake she’s visited since she was a child; that she can’t be surrounded by her loved ones during the remaining time she has left. Tell a business owner that their business isn’t essential. Tell the man who’s prone to depression and lives alone in a tiny studio apartment that this lockdown is for his own good. Tell the woman whose cancer diagnosis will be delayed—and thus her chances of survival reduced—that this lockdown is for her own good. –The Mises Institute
Lockdowns are immoral, plain, and simple because they violate the consent of those being forced on house arrest even though they have done no wrong. And they are coming. It doesn’t look like we will avoid a second lockdown at this point.
