thewashingtonstandard--2020-11-04--The Trump Administration & The UN’s Geneva Consensus Declaration: A Marriage Made In Hell

The Trump administration recently signed the United Nations ’ Geneva Consensus Declaration .
Some have declared it to be pro-life and that it is a step in the right direction , but is that true ?
How does the USMCA apply here ?
What about overreaches into health care ?
What are some of the other tentacles the UN has in this declaration that may infringe on American sovereignty ?
Common Core Diva Lynne Taylor joins me to expose what is really going on and why it should concern you .

Exodus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ before thee , to keep thee in the way , and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared .
21Beware of him , and obey his voice , provoke him not ; for he will not pardon your transgressions : for my name is in him .
22But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice , and do all that I speak ; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies , and an adversary unto thine adversaries .
23For mine Angel shall go before thee , and bring @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Hittites , and the Perizzites , and the Canaanites , and the Hivites , and the Jebusites : and I will cut them off .
24Thou shalt not bow down to their gods , nor serve them , nor do after their works : but thou shalt utterly overthrow them , and quite break down their images .
25And ye shall serve the LORD your God , and he shall bless thy bread , and thy water ; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee .
26There shall @ @ @ @ @ @ @ barren , in thy land : the number of thy days I will fulfil .
27I will send my fear before thee , and will destroy all the people to whom thou shalt come , and I will make all thine enemies turn their backs unto thee .
28And I will send hornets before thee , which shall drive out the Hivite , the Canaanite , and the Hittite , from before thee .
29I will not drive them out from before thee in one year ; lest the land become desolate , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ against thee .
30By little and little I will drive them out from before thee , until thou be increased , and inherit the land .
31And I will set thy bounds from the Red sea even unto the sea of the Philistines , and from the desert unto the river : for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand ; and thou shalt drive them out before thee .
32Thou shalt make no covenant with them , nor with their gods .
33They shall not dwell in thy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ against me : for if thou serve their gods , it will surely be a snare unto thee .
Joshua 9:3 And when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done unto Jericho and to Ai , 4They did work wilily , and went and made as if they had been ambassadors , and took old sacks upon their asses , and wine bottles , old , and rent , and bound up ; 5And old shoes and clouted upon their feet , and old garments upon them ; and all the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mouldy .
6And they went to Joshua unto the camp at Gilgal , and said unto him , and to the men of Israel , We be come from a far country : now therefore make ye a league with us .
7And the men of Israel said unto the Hivites , Peradventure ye dwell among us ; and how shall we make a league with you ?
8And they said unto Joshua , We are thy servants .
And Joshua said unto them , Who are ye ?
and from whence come @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , From a very far country thy servants are come because of the name of the LORD thy God : for we have heard the fame of him , and all that he did in Egypt , 10And all that he did to the two kings of the Amorites , that were beyond Jordan , to Sihon king of Heshbon , and to Og king of Bashan , which was at Ashtaroth .
11Wherefore our elders and all the inhabitants of our country spake to us , saying , Take victuals with you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ meet them , and say unto them , We are your servants : therefore now make ye a league with us .
12This our bread we took hot for our provision out of our houses on the day we came forth to go unto you ; but now , behold , it is dry , and it is mouldy : 13And these bottles of wine , which we filled , were new ; and , behold , they be rent : and these our garments and our shoes are become old by reason @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the men took of their victuals , and asked not counsel at the mouth of the LORD .
15And Joshua made peace with them , and made a league with them , to let them live : and the princes of the congregation sware unto them .
16And it came to pass at the end of three days after they had made a league with them , that they heard that they were their neighbours , and that they dwelt among them .
17And the children of Israel journeyed , and came unto @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Now their cities were Gibeon , and Chephirah , and Beeroth , and Kirjathjearim .
18And the children of Israel smote them not , because the princes of the congregation had sworn unto them by the LORD God of Israel .
And all the congregation murmured against the princes .
19But all the princes said unto all the congregation , We have sworn unto them by the LORD God of Israel : now therefore we may not touch them .
20This we will do to them ; we will even let them live @ @ @ @ @ @ @ because of the oath which we sware unto them .
21And the princes said unto them , Let them live ; but let them be hewers of wood and drawers of water unto all the congregation ; as the princes had promised them .
22And Joshua called for them , and he spake unto them , saying , Wherefore have ye beguiled us , saying , We are very far from you ; when ye dwell among us ?
23Now therefore ye are cursed , and there shall none of you be freed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wood and drawers of water for the house of my God .
24And they answered Joshua , and said , Because it was certainly told thy servants , how that the LORD thy God commanded his servant Moses to give you all the land , and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you , therefore we were sore afraid of our lives because of you , and have done this thing .
25And now , behold , we are in thine hand : as it seemeth good and right @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do .
26And so did he unto them , and delivered them out of the hand of the children of Israel , that they slew them not .
27And Joshua made them that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation , and for the altar of the LORD , even unto this day , in the place which he should choose .

Exodus 23:20 Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared. 21Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him. 22But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries. 23For mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I will cut them off. 24Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works: but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and quite break down their images. 25And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee. 26There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfil. 27I will send my fear before thee, and will destroy all the people to whom thou shalt come, and I will make all thine enemies turn their backs unto thee. 28And I will send hornets before thee, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before thee. 29I will not drive them out from before thee in one year; lest the land become desolate, and the beast of the field multiply against thee. 30By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, until thou be increased, and inherit the land. 31And I will set thy bounds from the Red sea even unto the sea of the Philistines, and from the desert unto the river: for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand; and thou shalt drive them out before thee. 32Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods. 33They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sin against me: for if thou serve their gods, it will surely be a snare unto thee.

And Joshua said unto them, Who are ye? and from whence come ye? 9And they said unto him, From a very far country thy servants are come because of the name of the LORD thy God: for we have heard the fame of him, and all that he did in Egypt, 10And all that he did to the two kings of the Amorites, that were beyond Jordan, to Sihon king of Heshbon, and to Og king of Bashan, which was at Ashtaroth. 11Wherefore our elders and all the inhabitants of our country spake to us, saying, Take victuals with you for the journey, and go to meet them, and say unto them, We are your servants: therefore now make ye a league with us. 12This our bread we took hot for our provision out of our houses on the day we came forth to go unto you; but now, behold, it is dry, and it is mouldy: 13And these bottles of wine, which we filled, were new; and, behold, they be rent: and these our garments and our shoes are become old by reason of the very long journey. 14And the men took of their victuals, and asked not counsel at the mouth of the LORD. 15And Joshua made peace with them, and made a league with them, to let them live: and the princes of the congregation sware unto them.
16And it came to pass at the end of three days after they had made a league with them, that they heard that they were their neighbours, and that they dwelt among them. 17And the children of Israel journeyed, and came unto their cities on the third day. Now their cities were Gibeon, and Chephirah, and Beeroth, and Kirjathjearim. 18And the children of Israel smote them not, because the princes of the congregation had sworn unto them by the LORD God of Israel. And all the congregation murmured against the princes. 19But all the princes said unto all the congregation, We have sworn unto them by the LORD God of Israel: now therefore we may not touch them. 20This we will do to them; we will even let them live, lest wrath be upon us, because of the oath which we sware unto them. 21And the princes said unto them, Let them live; but let them be hewers of wood and drawers of water unto all the congregation; as the princes had promised them.
22And Joshua called for them, and he spake unto them, saying, Wherefore have ye beguiled us, saying, We are very far from you; when ye dwell among us? 23Now therefore ye are cursed, and there shall none of you be freed from being bondmen, and hewers of wood and drawers of water for the house of my God. 24And they answered Joshua, and said, Because it was certainly told thy servants, how that the LORD thy God commanded his servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you, therefore we were sore afraid of our lives because of you, and have done this thing. 25And now, behold, we are in thine hand: as it seemeth good and right unto thee to do unto us, do. 26And so did he unto them, and delivered them out of the hand of the children of Israel, that they slew them not. 27And Joshua made them that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation, and for the altar of the LORD, even unto this day, in the place which he should choose.


thewashingtonstandard--2020-11-04--The World Communist Government Takeover In The US Through Persuasion, Communication & Attitudes

In my first book , I described my personal experience of being educated by the radical left .
In my second , I tied the popular “ world communist government ” conspiracy theory to the sciences of human behavior .
In my upcoming book , I am diving deeper into these behavioral sciences in an attempt to show that the global elites are indeed applying what they know about human behavior to governing in an attempt to influence and control our thoughts and behaviors .
The following is a small excerpt from this upcoming book .
There is reason to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are being used to persuade or push the attitudes of the masses in certain directions .
In the book The Dynamics of Persuasion : Communication and Attitudes in the 21st Century , Richard Perloff discusses the technique of fear then relief .
[ 1 ] This is described as the persuader intentionally placing the persuade into a state of fear , then removing that fear and replacing it with a less frightening alternative .
According to Perloff , this technique is effective because the sense of relief experienced when the fear is replaced @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is associated with the following request for compliance .
A good example would be the acceptance of Donald Trump ’ s bump stock ban .
There were so much fear and anticipation of what types of gun bans might be implemented after the Parkland Florida shooting , that people were relieved the only action taken was the ban on bump stocks .
According to Perloff , the association between relief and the following request for compliance can be so powerful , that people are often in a state of mindlessness and less attentive @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this seemingly useless piece of plastic , for instance , people completely ignored that the ATF illegally redefined the term machine gun in the existing gun control laws to include devices like bump stocks .
This technique could , in theory , be applied to elections in general .
In America , the term the lesser of two evils is a commonly accepted theme used to explain the acceptance of a candidate that may not live up to our expectations .
This is the fear then relief principle put into action .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was a sure win because people had become so weary and hopeless during the Bush years , that they were , like Alinsky said , willing to accept change they did not fully understand .
The same could be applied in the 2016 election of Donald Trump as well .
People were so overwhelmingly relieved that Hillary Clinton did not win that they have , as Perloff noted , become more susceptible to persuasive techniques and less attentive to what Donald Trump is doing , opposed to what he says .
To avoid @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the technique worked the same with Obama .
Liberal Democrats were so elated with the sensation of relief that they questioned nothing the man did because in their minds , they averted the disaster of another Republican winning the presidency .
The effectiveness of the fear then relief strategy depends on how well the initial fear appeal is crafted .
A message designed to invoke fear is done to scare people into changing their positions by showing the negative consequences for failing to do so .
[ 2 ] Political campaigns are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that voting for the other guy will have negative consequences .
Republicans and Democrats alike , effectively play on the fears of their voters , targeting the known values of their demographic .
Democrats , for example , know their voters are afraid of Republicans cutting welfare programs for the poor , so they craft their message to specifically invoke that fear by characterizing Republicans as selfish corporatists who only care about profit .
Republicans do the same , capitalizing on Democrats attempts to pass gun control .
Republicans talk a big game @ @ @ @ @ @ @ when it comes to defending liberty .
Fear messages can be effective , but unfortunately for the people crafting them , they are not always .
If for example , the issue does not resonate with the target audience the message will fall on deaf ears .
People who are not into politics , for example , are not generally persuaded by political campaigns and the messages revolving around them have little effect in swaying opinion .
People who are rooted in their convictions are also less likely to be affected by fear @ @ @ @ @ @ @ evidence suggesting that persuaders are intentionally targeting what they refer to as , mindless people .
For example , in an article entitled Fear-then-Relief : Mindlessness and cognitive deficits [ 3 ] the authors make the claim that people , when experiencing the relief of realizing the fear stimulus was unfounded , fall into a mindless , reactionary mode for a brief time where the arousal of the relief sensation makes them more susceptible to persuasive communications .
Studies have shown , according to this article , that people , when experiencing the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ any questions pertaining to the following suggestions or requests for compliance .
According to the authors , this suggests that a state of mindlessness is produced with the relief , making one more likely to simply go along with whatever requests may follow .

In my first book, I described my personal experience of being educated by the radical left. In my second, I tied the popular “world communist government” conspiracy theory to the sciences of human behavior. In my upcoming book, I am diving deeper into these behavioral sciences in an attempt to show that the global elites are indeed applying what they know about human behavior to governing in an attempt to influence and control our thoughts and behaviors. The following is a small excerpt from this upcoming book.
There is reason to speculate that the sciences of human behavior are being used to persuade or push the attitudes of the masses in certain directions. In the book The Dynamics of Persuasion: Communication and Attitudes in the 21st Century, Richard Perloff discusses the technique of fear then relief. [1] This is described as the persuader intentionally placing the persuade into a state of fear, then removing that fear and replacing it with a less frightening alternative. According to Perloff, this technique is effective because the sense of relief experienced when the fear is replaced is overwhelming and reinforcing. The sensation is associated with the following request for compliance. A good example would be the acceptance of Donald Trump’s bump stock ban. There were so much fear and anticipation of what types of gun bans might be implemented after the Parkland Florida shooting, that people were relieved the only action taken was the ban on bump stocks. According to Perloff, the association between relief and the following request for compliance can be so powerful, that people are often in a state of mindlessness and less attentive than normal. When it came to this seemingly useless piece of plastic, for instance, people completely ignored that the ATF illegally redefined the term machine gun in the existing gun control laws to include devices like bump stocks.
This technique could, in theory, be applied to elections in general. In America, the term the lesser of two evils is a commonly accepted theme used to explain the acceptance of a candidate that may not live up to our expectations. This is the fear then relief principle put into action. The election of Barrack Obama for example, was a sure win because people had become so weary and hopeless during the Bush years, that they were, like Alinsky said, willing to accept change they did not fully understand. The same could be applied in the 2016 election of Donald Trump as well. People were so overwhelmingly relieved that Hillary Clinton did not win that they have, as Perloff noted, become more susceptible to persuasive techniques and less attentive to what Donald Trump is doing, opposed to what he says. To avoid the impression of singling out Donald Trump, the technique worked the same with Obama. Liberal Democrats were so elated with the sensation of relief that they questioned nothing the man did because in their minds, they averted the disaster of another Republican winning the presidency.
The effectiveness of the fear then relief strategy depends on how well the initial fear appeal is crafted. A message designed to invoke fear is done to scare people into changing their positions by showing the negative consequences for failing to do so.[2] Political campaigns are without a doubt structured around the idea that voting for the other guy will have negative consequences. Republicans and Democrats alike, effectively play on the fears of their voters, targeting the known values of their demographic. Democrats, for example, know their voters are afraid of Republicans cutting welfare programs for the poor, so they craft their message to specifically invoke that fear by characterizing Republicans as selfish corporatists who only care about profit. Republicans do the same, capitalizing on Democrats attempts to pass gun control. Republicans talk a big game but do little of anything with substance when it comes to defending liberty.
Fear messages can be effective, but unfortunately for the people crafting them, they are not always. If for example, the issue does not resonate with the target audience the message will fall on deaf ears. People who are not into politics, for example, are not generally persuaded by political campaigns and the messages revolving around them have little effect in swaying opinion. People who are rooted in their convictions are also less likely to be affected by fear messages. Interestingly, there is some evidence suggesting that persuaders are intentionally targeting what they refer to as, mindless people. For example, in an article entitled Fear-then-Relief: Mindlessness and cognitive deficits[3] the authors make the claim that people, when experiencing the relief of realizing the fear stimulus was unfounded, fall into a mindless, reactionary mode for a brief time where the arousal of the relief sensation makes them more susceptible to persuasive communications. Studies have shown, according to this article, that people, when experiencing the relief sensation are less likely to ask any questions pertaining to the following suggestions or requests for compliance. According to the authors, this suggests that a state of mindlessness is produced with the relief, making one more likely to simply go along with whatever requests may follow.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-11-04--Election Rage:  4 Trump Supporters Stabbed After Fight Near White House

The election anger has begun .
In a fight outside of the White House after the elections , four “ Trump supporters ” ended up stabbed .
Or is this just a false flag to rile up the already divided populace and cause more chaos ?
You decide .
Three men and a woman , who identified themselves as supporters of Donald Trump , have been taken to hospital with non-life-threatening knife injuries , according to a report by RT .
We were promised violence in the past several months leading up to the vote .
It looks like it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ t clear if the fight that resulted in the stabbing occurred in connection with a protest rally staged in front of the presidential residence on the election night .
The scuffle happened near the intersection of 14th Street and New York Avenue Northwest around 2:30 a.m. EST , police reported .
Law enforcement is now looking for three suspects over the incident .
The victims said they were members of the Proud Boys , a right-wing pro-Trump group .
The police said the suspects may be part of the Black Lives Matter ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ affiliate WUSA9 .
However , a Twitter account for Black Lives Matter angrily rejected this , saying it was a lie and that outlets reporting it were “ doing irresponsible dangerous journalism ” .
And admittedly , that ’ s what mainstream media has become .
Right-leaning website the Gateway Pundit reported that one of the victims was Enrique Tarrio , the chairman of the Proud Boys .
He told the outlet that his stomach was slashed during the altercation .
Conservative activist Bevelyn Beatty was also stabbed during the altercation , according @ @ @ @ @ @ @ helping some guy that was getting stabbed by two black males and one female .
Bevelyn got stabbed as well as two Proud Boys and the guy they were attacking .

It isn’t clear if the fight that resulted in the stabbing occurred in connection with a protest rally staged in front of the presidential residence on the election night.

The victims said they were members of the Proud Boys, a right-wing pro-Trump group. The police said the suspects may be part of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement, according to CBS affiliate WUSA9.

.@wusa9 this is a LIE! You all are doing irresponsible dangerous journalism. @Mvmnt4BlkLives or @DMVBlackLives have nothing to do with these stabbings. Shame on @ChiefNewsham @DCPoliceDept sharing false information. This story need to be retracted. https://t.co/HgghAZXDhL — Black Lives Matter DC (@DMVBlackLives) November 4, 2020

The mainstream media has been known to lie to foment division and hatred and bring about the chaos the elitists have already promised us. But Black Lives Matter has not, historically, been a peaceful group of protestors either. Take these media stories with a grain of salt. And the best thing to do is to please stay out of this type of “protest” and stay safe.

Prison Guard Unions: The prison guard unions are another group, so scared of losing their jobs, that they would rather see thousands of non-violent and morally innocent people thrown into cages than look for another job.
What does it say about a society that’s resolute in enacting violence against their fellow human so they can have a job to go to in the morning?
The person who wants to ingest a substance for medical or recreational reasons is not the criminal. However, the person that would kidnap, cage, or kill someone because they have a different lifestyle, is a villain on many fronts.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-11-04--School Shocked As Cop Hit With 52 Charges Over Horrifying Sexual Torture Of Children

School Shocked As Cop Hit With 52 Charges Over Horrifying Sexual Torture Of Children York County , SC — The students at Winthrop University in Rock Hill , SC likely felt secure when they saw University police officer Charles Eugene Price in his uniform patrolling the campus .
However , they no longer feel that way now after the announcement of his arrest along with a slew of charges related to the repeat abuse and sexual torture of multiple children .
“ I think it ’ s really scary especially because those are the people who are supposed to be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said student Nikki Delissio .
Scary indeed .
According to the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division ( SLED ) , the alleged child predator officer was arrested on October 16 .
He was initially charged with just two counts of Criminal Sexual Conduct with Minor under 11 years of age first-degree and Criminal Sexual Conduct first-degree .
However , after further investigation , that has since changed .
SLED has since tacked on dozens more charges as the investigation continues and hit Price with 49 additional charges related to the investigation .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
• 9 counts of Criminal Sexual Conduct with Minor under 11 years of age first-degree • 13 counts of Criminal Sexual Conduct with Minor victim 11 to 14 years of age second-degree • And 18 other charges , bringing the total number of charges to 52 .
Upon news of his arrest , the university immediately fired him and issued a statement .
“ Upon being notified of the open criminal investigation and due to the seriousness of the allegations , the police officer was immediately relieved of his badge , credentials @ @ @ @ @ @ @ university spokesperson said in a statement .
“ Subsequently , the police officer was placed on suspension without pay and escorted off Winthrop University property.
” The department is also moving to have his law enforcement certification suspended and withdrawn .
According to SLED , the charges stem from crimes committed as far back as 2007 .
According to warrants , victims told investigators that Price had sexually abused them several times , including assaults in which he handcuffed , beat or strangled them .
Price was known at the university as “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who were reportedly horrified when they learned of the news .
He ’ s been a police officer since 2004 .
NEW : Here is a statement from Winthrop University .
Price was suspended in late September when the department learned he was being investigated .
An internal investigation found that none of the alleged criminal acts happened on campus .

“I think it’s really scary especially because those are the people who are supposed to be protecting us and helping us,” said student Nikki Delissio. Scary indeed. According to the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED), the alleged child predator officer was arrested on October 16. He was initially charged with just two counts of Criminal Sexual Conduct with Minor under 11 years of age first-degree and Criminal Sexual Conduct first-degree. However, after further investigation, that has since changed. SLED has since tacked on dozens more charges as the investigation continues and hit Price with 49 additional charges related to the investigation. The charges he is facing are as follows.
9 counts of Criminal Sexual Conduct with Minor under 11 years of age first-degree
13 counts of Criminal Sexual Conduct with Minor victim 11 to 14 years of age second-degree
8 counts of Criminal Sexual Conduct third-degree
1 count of Kidnapping
And 18 other charges, bringing the total number of charges to 52.
Upon news of his arrest, the university immediately fired him and issued a statement. “Upon being notified of the open criminal investigation and due to the seriousness of the allegations, the police officer was immediately relieved of his badge, credentials, and duty weapon,” a university spokesperson said in a statement. “Subsequently, the police officer was placed on suspension without pay and escorted off Winthrop University property.” The department is also moving to have his law enforcement certification suspended and withdrawn. According to SLED, the charges stem from crimes committed as far back as 2007. According to warrants, victims told investigators that Price had sexually abused them several times, including assaults in which he handcuffed, beat or strangled them. Price was known at the university as “Chuck” to the students and staff who were reportedly horrified when they learned of the news. He’s been a police officer since 2004.
NEW: Here is a statement from Winthrop University. Price was suspended in late September when the department learned he was being investigated.

Biden Bragged That Democrats Had “The Most Extensive Voter Fraud Organization In The History of American Politics” (Video)

Biden Bragged That Democrats Had “ The Most Extensive Voter Fraud Organization In The History of American Politics ” ( Video ) Just so you know , Joe Biden bragged about having “ the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics.

He also encouraged supporters to call a hotline to report any voter intimidation they encounter .
Of course , the White House jumped on that .
Biden may have been referring to his campaign ’ s massive “ election protection program , ” which includes former Attorney General Eric Holder and hundreds of other lawyers in preparation for a legal battle in the event of a contested election .
The former vice president ’ s campaign told Fox News that over the past several months they have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ presidential campaign history , involving integrated legal , communications and political strategies for what they anticipate to be an unprecedented election .
Biden has a history of misstatements , including saying he was running for the Senate in mid-October and claiming 200 million Americans have died of coronavirus in mid-September , and President Trump has pulled no punches in criticizing him .
Or it could be as National File reports , a legitimate claim where Biden blurted out the truth in his confusion .
Texas poll watcher Raymond T. Stewart , a retired @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Thursday that was provided to the Harris County District Attorney ’ s Office .
That affidavit , exclusively obtained by NATIONAL FILE , alleges that a Houston precinct judge and staff illegally used a stack of driver ’ s licenses in their possession to allow people to vote illegally in the 2020 election at a drive-through voting window created by the Coronavirus pandemic .
Stewart ’ s affidavit and photos of the scheme are presented below .
The acting precinct judge ’ s identity has been confirmed by the Harris County Clerk ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a Democrat .
Harris County , where Houston is located , is also the site where the Joe Biden campaign ’ s Texas political director Dallas Jones is accused of running an illegal ballot harvesting operation , according to two separate affidavits submitted to the Texas Supreme Court by former law enforcement officials .

Remember…
“Those who vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything.”― Joseph Stalin
Mac Slavo reports:
President Donald Trump has already declared victory in the election and says he’s going to have to take the decision to the Supreme Court. “Frankly, we did win this election,” Trump said.
Remember, Trump just appointed Justice Amy Coney Barrett who Nancy Pelosi has called an “illegitimate justice.” This election battle has only just begun. Bringing the Supreme Court into it when democrats are declaring a justice illegitimate is going to ignite more chaos than we could imagine. A decision by the Supreme Court won’t even be accepted, and that’s become obvious. This is not the first time Trump has said the election will be decided by the Supreme court either:
More Preplanned Election Chaos: Trump Says The Supreme Court Will “Sort Out” The Election
Trump also said that “fraud” is underway to steal the victory away from him and added that he will ask the Supreme Court to protect the integrity of the process. The incumbent president spoke early Wednesday morning at the White House, claiming victory in several states, including Pennsylvania, Georgia, North Carolina, and Wisconsin, where the media has so far not projected a win for either candidate, according to a report by RT.
In the end, it really doesn’t matter who is declared the winner. Neither side will accept a loss and a contested election and the promised chaos will ensue. It doesn’t matter who you voted for, deep down, you know this is a fact.
“We want all voting to stop. We don’t want them to find any ballots at four o’clock in the morning,” Trump said. Trump also thanked his supporters and the members of his campaign. He pledged that those who voted for him will not be “disenfranchised” by “a very sad group of people.”

thewashingtonstandard--2020-11-06--Government Releases Its Numbers Of Spying On Us Under Cover Of Election Campaign – They Are Staggeri

Government Releases Its Numbers Of Spying On Us Under Cover Of Election Campaign – They Are Staggering !
But hey , this isn ’ t happening under a Joe Biden administration , right ?
It would probably be worse , in fact .
However , this is happening under a President Donald J. Trump administration , you know , the guy that re-authorized the PATRIOT Act and the USA Freedom Act ?
Yep , the numbers of how the government intercepted telephone calls , text messages , emails , even in-person were staggerings .
Judge Andrew Napolitano , author of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Presidential Powers and the Lethal Threat to American Liberty writes : In 2019 , agents of the federal and state governments persuaded judges to issue 99 % of all requested intercepts .
An intercept is any type of government surveillance – telephone , text message , email , even in-person .
These are intercepts that theoretically are based on probable cause of crime , as is required by the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution .
The 2019 numbers – which the government released as we were all watching the end of the presidential @ @ @ @ @ @ @ feds , and local and state police in America engaged in 27,431,687 intercepts on 777,840 people .
They arrested 17,101 people from among those intercepted and obtained convictions on the basis of evidence obtained via the intercepts on 5,304 .
That is a conviction rate of 4 % of all people spied upon by law enforcement in the United States .
Here is the backstory .
Readers of this column are familiar with the use by federal agents of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act to obtain intercepts using a standard of proof considerably @ @ @ @ @ @ @ That came about because Congress basically has no respect for the Constitution and authorized the FISA Court to issue intercept warrants if federal agents can identify an American or a foreign person in America who has spoken to a foreign person in another country .
Call your cousin in Florence or a bookseller in Edinburgh or an art dealer in Brussels , and under FISA , the feds can get a warrant from the FISA Court to monitor your future calls and texts and emails .
This FISA system is profoundly unconstitutional ; @ @ @ @ @ @ @ government – state and federal – can only lawfully engage in searches and seizures pursuant to warrants issued by a judge based upon a showing under oath of probable cause of crime .
The Supreme Court has ruled consistently that intercepts and surveillances constitute searches and seizures .
The government searches a database of emails , texts or recorded phone calls and seizes the data it wants .
Thus , when the feds have targeted someone for prosecution and lack probable cause of crime about that person , they resort to FISA .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but also it is corrupting , as it permits criminal investigators to cut constitutional corners by obtaining evidence of crimes outside the scope of the Fourth Amendment .
The use of the Fourth Amendment is the only lawful means of engaging in surveillance sufficient to introduce the fruits of the surveillance at a criminal trial .
If the feds happen upon evidence of a crime from their FISA-authorized intercepts , they then need to engage in deceptive acts of parallel construction .
That connotes the false creation of an ostensibly lawful intercept @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lawfully what they already have obtained unlawfully .
Law enforcement personnel then fake the true means they used to acquire evidence – even duping the prosecutors for whom they work – so the evidence will appear to have been obtained lawfully and thus can be used at trial .
At its essence , parallel construction is a deception on the court .
If the deception is perpetrated under oath , it is perjury – a felony .
This corruption of the Constitution by those in whose hands we have reposed it for safekeeping @ @ @ @ @ @ @ FISA-induced corruption has regrettably bled into the culture of non-FISA law enforcement , and even into the judiciary .
The statistics I cited above are not from FISA – those numbers are secret .
Rather , the statistics reflect the government ’ s voracious appetite for spying that now pervades non-FISA law enforcement .
This is so because judges accept uncritically the applications made before them for intercept or surveillance warrants .
Thus , even though the Fourth Amendment permits judges to issue warrants only upon the probable likelihood of evidence of a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or the person or thing to be seized , the attitude of what constitutes probable cause has been attenuated by both the law enforcement personnel who seek warrants and the judges who hear the applications .
We know this because we have not seen a number like 99 % of all warrant applications – every one supposedly based on probable cause of crime – granted .
Nor have we seen only 4 % of those intercepts resulting in convictions .
The rational conclusion is that the government ’ s appetite for surveillance remains @ @ @ @ @ @ @ duty it is to uphold the Constitution as against the other two branches of government – have done very little to abate this .
So , what becomes of the remaining 96 % of those on whom the government spied ?
That depends on whether the government charges anyone .
If a person is charged and acquitted , and law enforcement unlawfully obtained evidence against that person , his remedy is either persuading the court to suppress the evidence thus resulting in the acquittal , or suing the law enforcement agents who unlawfully @ @ @ @ @ @ @ current Supreme Court decisions about who can sue the government , if the government has spied on you and not charged you and not told you , you have no cause of action against the law enforcement agents who did this .
Stated differently , in 2019 , at least 760,739 people in America were spied upon pursuant to judicial orders allegedly based upon probable cause of crime and were neither charged nor informed of the spying .
My Fox colleagues often deride my attacks on those who fail to safeguard our privacy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ privacy .
Yet , as Justice Louis Brandeis wrote , the most comprehensive of rights is the right to be let alone .
If we forget this , my colleagues will have the last laugh .
If we expose its violation , we might know the joys of unmonitored personal fulfillment .
What ’ s amazing in all of this is Trump supporters are angrier over the corruption of the previous administration and intelligence agencies spying on the Trump campaign than they are spying on them !
When are people going to finally @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them ?

Readers of this column are familiar with the use by federal agents of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act to obtain intercepts using a standard of proof considerably lesser than probable cause of crime. That came about because Congress basically has no respect for the Constitution and authorized the FISA Court to issue intercept warrants if federal agents can identify an American or a foreign person in America who has spoken to a foreign person in another country.
Call your cousin in Florence or a bookseller in Edinburgh or an art dealer in Brussels, and under FISA, the feds can get a warrant from the FISA Court to monitor your future calls and texts and emails.
This FISA system is profoundly unconstitutional; the Fourth Amendment expressly requires that the government – state and federal – can only lawfully engage in searches and seizures pursuant to warrants issued by a judge based upon a showing under oath of probable cause of crime. The Supreme Court has ruled consistently that intercepts and surveillances constitute searches and seizures. The government searches a database of emails, texts or recorded phone calls and seizes the data it wants.
Thus, when the feds have targeted someone for prosecution and lack probable cause of crime about that person, they resort to FISA. This is not only unlawful and unconstitutional, but also it is corrupting, as it permits criminal investigators to cut constitutional corners by obtaining evidence of crimes outside the scope of the Fourth Amendment. The use of the Fourth Amendment is the only lawful means of engaging in surveillance sufficient to introduce the fruits of the surveillance at a criminal trial.
If the feds happen upon evidence of a crime from their FISA-authorized intercepts, they then need to engage in deceptive acts of parallel construction. That connotes the false creation of an ostensibly lawful intercept in order to claim that they obtained lawfully what they already have obtained unlawfully.
Law enforcement personnel then fake the true means they used to acquire evidence – even duping the prosecutors for whom they work – so the evidence will appear to have been obtained lawfully and thus can be used at trial. At its essence, parallel construction is a deception on the court. If the deception is perpetrated under oath, it is perjury – a felony.
This corruption of the Constitution by those in whose hands we have reposed it for safekeeping happens every day in America.
The FISA-induced corruption has regrettably bled into the culture of non-FISA law enforcement, and even into the judiciary. The statistics I cited above are not from FISA – those numbers are secret. Rather, the statistics reflect the government’s voracious appetite for spying that now pervades non-FISA law enforcement. This is so because judges accept uncritically the applications made before them for intercept or surveillance warrants.
Thus, even though the Fourth Amendment permits judges to issue warrants only upon the probable likelihood of evidence of a crime in the place to be searched or the person or thing to be seized, the attitude of what constitutes probable cause has been attenuated by both the law enforcement personnel who seek warrants and the judges who hear the applications. We know this because we have not seen a number like 99% of all warrant applications – every one supposedly based on probable cause of crime – granted. Nor have we seen only 4% of those intercepts resulting in convictions.
The rational conclusion is that the government’s appetite for surveillance remains voracious, and judges – whose affirmative duty it is to uphold the Constitution as against the other two branches of government – have done very little to abate this.
