Democrats dropped early clues to their election fraud


Democrats dropped early clues to their election fraud

Re-Posted from the Canada Free Press By Lee Cary & Marty Watters—— Bio and ArchivesNovember 27, 2020

Before the November 3 election, several Democrats dropped clues as what they had in store for Trump. 

Below are just six of those clues. Feel to add any that the authors did not include. The format is:  citation, source, and link.

  1. Joe Biden: “We’re in a situation where we have put together — and you’d [sic] guys, did it for our, the president Obama’s administration, before this — we have put together, I think, the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics.” 
  2. Joe Biden: “Folks, we got a lot of work to do. I don’t need you to get me elected. I need you once I’m elected.” (YouTube, Oct 31)
  3. Kamala Harris: “They [protestors] are not going to stop. This is a movement, I’m telling you [Colbert Show host], they’re not going to stop! And everyone beware—they’re not going to stop before the election in November, and they’re not going to stop after election day. And everyone should take note of that.”   (YouTube, Aug 28)
  4. Chuck Schumer: “…said Tuesday that President-elect Donald Trump is ‘being really dumb’ by taking on the intelligence community and its assessments on Russia’s cyber activities. ‘Let me tell you, you take on the intelligence community, they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you,’ Schumer told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow.”  
  5. Senate Democrats in the Judge Barrett SCOTUS Hearing: Senators Dick Durbin (IL) and fake Vietnam War Marine hero, Richard Blumenthal (Conn.) opened the bag and showed us the cat. “‘For the first time in the history of the United States, an incumbent president refuses to commit to the peaceful transition of power if he loses the election,’ said Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin.”  Blumenthal, in his opening statement, cited Trump’s comments concerning the need for a full Supreme Court if the election results are litigated. Democrat Senators knew what was coming, and so did Trump. 
  6. Former GOP POTUS George W. Bush:  The leader of the second political party opposed to Trump, the GOP Establishment, was quoted as having said aloud after Trump’s inauguration speech that, “That was some weird sh_t”.  In the Vanity Fair article that quoted his statement, we read: “During a speech in New York…the younger Bush eviscerated the president without mentioning his name. ‘We’ve seen nationalism distorted into nativism, forgotten the dynamism that immigration has always brought to America,’ Bush said. ‘We see a fading confidence in the value of free markets and international trade, forgetting that conflict, instability and poverty follow in the wake of protectionism. We’ve seen the return of isolationist sentiments, forgetting that American security is directly threatened by the chaos and despair of distant places.’ He went on to denounce “bigotry” and “white supremacy” in any form as “blasphemy against the American creed,” echoing the joint statement he released in the aftermath of the violence in Charlottesville, which the president largely failed to condemn.” 

So, Bush, Jr. sang the Democrat song for over four years. But have we heard a peep from “W” since the election fraud surfaced? No. Why not?

That’s a short list of clues to the Democrats’ intentions to manufacture a Biden presidency. Good until Kamala takes over and cheers-on the protesters.   

Had America listened hard enough, even to a corrupted media, it would have sensed early on, from Democrats and senior Republicans alike, their intentions to Dump Trump – by hook or by crook.

Questions Presented


Armstrong Economics Blog/Q&A Re-Posted Nov 28, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION #1: Mr. Armstrong; I have been following you for some time and recently subscribed to Socrates. I have a question as a small player in the huge world of investment and finance.
It looks like digital currency is coming soon. How do you think it would be implemented such as a phase-in or dropping the hammer-like has happened in India? Another issue is what happens to the cash that some folks have squirreled away for a rainy day? Will they have us turn it into the banks, will they outlaw having it at all or just say the paper is no longer valid after a certain date?
I have talked to a few friends and we all have the same concerns. I suspect that this question is tantamount to a lot of people.
Looking forward to your and Socrates’ take on this looming issue.

DH in Florida

ANSWER #1: In India, it was Bill Gates advising Modi and he never even consulted the central bank. They were taken completely by surprise. In Europe, this was being pushed by Christine Legarde who was head of the IMF and now the central bank. But she is a board member of the World Economic Forum. This is part of the agenda for 2030, but it was Legarde who was running around threatening tax haven countries to give up every one or by blocked from the SWIFT system denying them the ability to transact any business internationally. They even threatened the Vatican.

Despite that drive to hunt down offshore money for taxation, it still was not enough. They are determined to cancel the currency claiming (1) currency carries the virus, and (2) it will eliminate crime from drugs to prostitution, but it will eliminate even paying a teenager to babysit.

They were planning to cancel the currency and the debt at the same time on January 1st, 2021. They assumed they had rigged the US election and Biden would join their ranks to embark on a new era of economic tyranny. Boris Johnson was also going to join and cancel the pound as the Bank of England has already created what it calls the RSCoin. This also included Switzerland. The idea floated was that to prevent hoarding in alternative currencies, they needed to eliminate paper money across the board and it would come in the blink of an eye with 30 to 90 days to turn in all your cash.  As of January 1, Americans living in UAE must comply with the updated tax regulations released by the IRS. Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) are going to join the cryptocurrency era and build a new financial relation through Aber, a proposed digital currency.

They are coordinating this cancellation and it will take place including the USA under Biden. If Trump wins in the House, then the physical dollar will present the ultimate hedge against the confiscation of assets outside the USA.

QUESTION #2: They are starting to say dogs and cattle can transmit COVID-19 just as they have killed all the minks in Europe. What are these people doing?

HP

ANSWER #2: They have on a wholesale basis exterminated minks in Denmark when even the tests for COVID are invalid. The CDC and WHO are claiming cats and dogs can also carry COVID. Cattle have often gotten coronaviruses but so far there is no real evidence that humans can get COVID-19 from cattle or meat. Nonetheless, because Bill Gates has been pushing alternative neats and eliminating meat is one of the 8 predictions on the list of the World Economic Forum by 2030, you can bet they will start claiming eating meat risks getting COVID-19 and they might throw in petting your dog or cat and to save the planet, there should be a mass extinction carried out of cattle and pets.

COMMENT #3: Your mention of Salesforce caught my attention this morning as I received a forwarded email from Salesforce entitled “[Salesforce} Reimagine Engagement with your Residents“. The original sender is Justin Aylor@m.carahsoft.com describing a Salesforce | MTX Group | Tableau Webinar describing “Learn how the New York City Police Department (NYPD), Salesforce, MTX Group and Tableau have reimagined their approach to community engagement. The community members now have the ability to report concerns from their mobile phone, collaborate with local officers to address constituent concerns, and schedule and track community meetings, and more”.
“community members now have the ability to report concerns from their mobile phone” . . . could be interpreted as neighbor reporting on a neighbor.

REPLY #3: It is unfortunate that Salesforce is a Dow stock. They are partners with Schwab and engage in using shareholder money to further agenda that has nothing to do with the business. They call this STAKEHOLDER economics. If I was a fund manager and started to spend your money on things I thought were my pet projects instead of investing it, I think they would call that fraud. I fail to see where STAKEHOLDER economics is ethical or legal.

UPDATE: Mission CTH Liberty Underway…


Posted originally on The Conservative Tree House on November 28, 2020 by sundance

Ground Control to Liberty One: ..”We have main engine separation, next stop – Freedom”…

As the CTH community is aware, WordPress/Automattic has demanded our voice leave their platform. Effective this moment, “Operation CTH Liberty” is underway, and we are separating from main host web servers. {Go Deep} During this transitional phase we are in, we will have a controlled comment blackout until the site migration is complete to new host servers. You may or may not be able to comment. The anticipated transit time is 30 hours to new host.

By taking this painstaking approach, we are ensuring that all internal links do not result in a “404” dead link notification. Meaning the library will remain intact, and all external links that lead to the CTH library will be able to find them. Additionally, and/all citations within the CTH library will be retained, and people will be able to use all the embed links; and also importantly, all prior links to your previous comments are retained.

During the transition and data transfer, we will need to shut down commenting function for CTH (WordPress) until CTH 2.0 launches. The mirroring of the site during this process will take (based on the test run) approximately 30 hours +/-. As a result, it is highly likely comments will be closed for around two days. Unfortunately, there is no other way to pull this off; it is simply a matter of volume and scale.

We will continue to post new articles and you will be able to see them, you just might not be able to comment on them until the full data transfer to Treehouse 2.0 is complete.

[Remember, the articles from CTH/CTH 2.0 cross-post onto Twitter, and you can also comment there. Or use the Twitter link to return to the CTH 2.0 article when live]

♦ The domain name will remain the same: “TheConservativeTreehouse.com”, and should be seamless in transition to the new website.  However, after CTH 2.0 launch you may need to clear your browser “cookies” and “cache” so that your search or bookmark reaches the new servers accurately.

How you can tell – If you find yourself only finding older articles when you visit CTH Sunday(ish) this will be the problem.  Clear your “cache and cookies”, search or use your bookmarks for CTH again, and your browser should redirect you to the correct website.

When the comments go live again, please be patient if you get hung up in a moderation cue. One of our challenges will be the absence of Askimet spam filtering. It may take time to release some comments if they are hung up in moderation. The site admins do a great job with comment moderation and release so it shouldn’t be too much of an issue; and quite frankly, there are likely to be benefits from not having the WordPress software filtering through the comments as they post. Spam removal will be a priority.

Please bear with us as we work through some of the challenges of comment moderation in our new platform. It should be seamless, but just in case… well, patience is appreciated. Be assured we will work diligently during this go-live phase to deal with any comment issues as rapidly as possible.

Over the Thanksgiving holiday, WordPress/Automattic disabled CTH’s ability to filter, review or disable vulgar content on our site. Given the unwarranted, pre-textual de-platforming of CTH by the pro-censorship board of Automattic, CTH cannot ignore that such manipulation is to maliciously interfere and damage the reputation of CTH.

Because of Automattic’s purposeful actions, we have been forced to monitor every site comment in real time for appropriate content over the past 48 hours and remove content that seems purposefully targeted to tarnish our reputation and public image. CTH expects to be Back to normal functionality in 30 hours. Thanks for bearing with us, and thank you for your first hand witness of the tactics of deplatforming and censorship in America.

We are chomping-at-the-bit to get back in this fight for our nation; and do not think for one moment we are not aware our specific targeting was purposefully timed to disrupt our research ability.  We know exactly what Big Tech and the left-wing political operatives executed.  They know that we know; and when we know – YOU KNOW.

Myself and the incredibly hardworking site admins consider ourselves stewards to this community.  YOU are what matters, so another important part of Treehouse 2.0 is to ensure your ability to analyze, discuss and provide your comments on the subject matter.  We will NEVER remove a commenting function from our website.  In fact, it is the crowd-sourcing work we have done as a community that has been the most thrilling and brilliant part of our work together. I will never lose that focus.

The key to Treehouse 2.0 is recognizing we are building something within a system that wants to see us removed. Being proactive about that will hopefully make us better stewards for our conversation. Remember, YOU are the important part.

Without you CTH doesn’t really have a purpose. I could stand outside shouting at trees with no impact; but together, sitting on the figurative porch, the conversation is rich with unique skill-sets, subject matter experts and life-long experiences that make discussion so much more valuable. Myself and the CTH admin team cherish the value you represent.

Over the next roughly 30 hours we will transfer the data from a decade of research into our new home.  We will transfer massive bytes of data across the space between our old home and our new servers, but the key ingredient will always be missing until we are united with our commenting community.  We are a little sad, yet nervous and exited to take this step; and there’s no community we would rather share this journey with, than you.

Thank you for your support and fellowship.  We will always work diligently to deserve it.

The rebel alliance will reassemble with comments as soon as possible.   We shall meet at the Old Mill and ride again…

Love to all,

~ Sundance

Rudy Giuliani Discusses Pathway to Supreme Court…

Arizona Legislature Schedules November 30th Public Hearing For Evidence in Election Fraud…


Posted originally on The Conservative Tree House on November 27, 2020 by sundance

Following a similar path to Pennsylvania, the Arizona legislature has scheduled a hearing for Monday November 30th to hear and weigh the evidence of election fraud.  Several issues within Phoenix area polling locations are in question.  [Press Release]

[…] The President’s legal team will be present from DC to assist in a fact finding hearing with select members of the Arizona House and Senate and a panel of experts. The goal will be to gather the evidence that justifies calling a special session to contemplate what happened and take immediate action accordingly.

“We are pleased that the State Legislatures in Pennsylvania, Arizona and Michigan will be convening hearings to examine the November 3rd presidential election,” Personal Attorney to President Donald J. Trump, Jenna Ellis.

State Legislatures are uniquely qualified and positioned to hold hearings on election irregularities and fraud before electors are chosen. As established in Article 2, Section 1.2 of the United States Constitution, State Legislatures have the sole authority to select their representatives to the Electoral College, providing a critical safeguard against voter fraud and election manipulation.  (Link To Details)

Pennsylvania State Legislature Files Resolution to Dispute Statewide 2020 Election Results…


Posted originally on The Conservative Tree House on November 27, 2020 by sundance

With mounting evidence of election fraud now visible, members of the Pennsylvania legislature have drafted a joint resolution [SEE HERE] to overturn election results, reverse the previous state certification, and the sponsors promise they will take it to the Supreme Court if necessary.

A RESOLUTION

Declaring the results of statewide electoral contests in the 2020 General Election to be in dispute.

WHEREAS, Article I, Section 4, Clause 1 of the United States Constitution empowers state legislatures, including the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, to prescribe the “Times, Places, and Manner” of conducting elections; and

WHEREAS, Article II, Section 1, Clause 2 of the United States Constitution empowers state legislatures, including the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, to direct the manner of appointing electors for President and Vice President of the United States; and

WHEREAS, the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has exercised its authority to establish election administration procedures for the Commonwealth, known as the Pennsylvania Election Code; and

WHEREAS, the Pennsylvania Election Code requires all mail-in ballots to be received by eight o’clock P.M. on the day of the election; and

WHEREAS, the Pennsylvania Election Code requires election officials at polling places to authenticate the signatures of in-person voters; and

WHEREAS, the Pennsylvania Election Code requires that county boards of elections shall not meet to conduct a pre-canvass of all absentee and mail-in ballots until seven o’clock A.M. on Election Day, during which time defects on mail-in ballots would be identified; and

WHEREAS, the Pennsylvania Election Code prohibits the counting of defective absentee or mail-in ballots; and

WHEREAS, the Pennsylvania Election Code authorizes “watchers,” selected by candidates and political parties, to observe the process of canvassing absentee and mail-in ballots; and

WHEREAS, the Commonwealth conducted an election on November 3, 2020 for federal offices, including selecting electors for President and Vice President of the United States; and

WHEREAS, officials in the Executive and Judicial Branches of the Commonwealth infringed upon the General Assembly’s authority under the United States Constitution by unlawfully changing the rules governing the November 3, 2020 election in the Commonwealth; and

WHEREAS, on September 17, 2020, less than seven weeks before the November 3, 2020 election, the partisan majority on the Supreme Court of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania unlawfully and unilaterally extended the deadline for mail-in ballots to be received, mandated that ballots mailed without a postmark would be presumed to be received timely, and could be accepted without a verified voter signature; and

WHEREAS, on October 23, 2020, less than two weeks before the November 3, 2020 election and upon a petition from the Secretary of the Commonwealth, the Supreme Court of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania ruled that mail-in ballots need not authenticate signatures for mail-in ballots, thereby treating in-person and mail-in voters dissimilarly and eliminating a critical safeguard against potential election crime; and

WHEREAS, on November 2, 2020, the night before the November 3, 2020 election and prior to the prescribed time for pre-canvassing mail-in ballots, the office of the Secretary of the Commonwealth encouraged certain counties to notify party and candidate representatives of mail-in voters whose ballots contained defects; and

WHEREAS, heavily Democrat counties permitted mail-in voters to cure ballot defects while heavily Republican counties followed the law and invalidated defective ballots; and

WHEREAS, in certain counties in the Commonwealth, watchers were not allowed to meaningfully observe the pre-canvassing and canvassing activities relating to absentee and mail-in ballots; and

WHEREAS, in other parts of the Commonwealth, watchers observed irregularities concerning the pre-canvassing and canvassing of absentee and mail-in ballots; and

WHEREAS, postal employees in Pennsylvania have reported anomalies relating to mail-in ballots, including multiple ballots delivered to a single address with unfamiliar addressees, ballots mailed to vacant homes, empty lots, and addresses that did not exist; and

WHEREAS, witnesses testifying before the Pennsylvania Senate Majority Policy Committee on November 25, 2020 have provided additional compelling information regarding the questionable nature of the administration of the 2020 General Election; and

WHEREAS, there remains ongoing litigation concerning the administration of the November 3, 2020 election in the Commonwealth; and

WHEREAS, in 2016, Pennsylvania’s general election results were certified on December 12, 2016, and on November 24, 2020, the Secretary of the Commonwealth unilaterally and prematurely certified results of the November 3, 2020 election regarding presidential electors despite ongoing litigation; and

WHEREAS, the Pennsylvania House of Representatives has the duty to ensure that no citizen of this Commonwealth is disenfranchised, to insist that all elections are conducted according to the law, and to satisfy the general public that every legal vote is counted accurately;

THEREFORE, be it RESOLVED that the Pennsylvania House of Representatives—

1. Recognizes substantial irregularities and improprieties associated with mail-in balloting, pre-canvassing, and canvassing during the November 3, 2020 election; and

2. Disapproves of the infringement on the General Assembly’s authority pursuant to the United States Constitution to regulate elections; and

3. Disapproves of and disagrees with the Secretary of the Commonwealth’s premature certification of the results of the November 3, 2020 election regarding presidential electors; and

4. Declares that the selection of presidential electors and other statewide electoral contest results in this Commonwealth is in dispute; and

5. Urges the Secretary of the Commonwealth and the Governor to withdraw or vacate the certification of presidential electors and to delay certification of results in other statewide electoral contests voted on at the 2020 General Election; and

6. Urges the United States Congress to declare the selection of presidential electors in this Commonwealth to be in dispute. (link)

It is no longer an issue of whether election fraud took place, the issue is now whether the U.S. election system can withstand truthful sunlight and correct the fraud that is well known.   Joe Biden will never be a legitimate U.S. President… everyone knows that.

The scale of victory by President Donald Trump is the problem for those who want to deny what took place.  The efforts to overturn the election results were centered in approximately 10 municipal regions, and Pennsylvania holds two of them in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.

Mr President Don’t stop with Flynn these two need to be Pardoned as well


Posted originally on GrrrGraphics.com on NOV 27, 2020 AT 11:33 AM

We know our so-called ‘security agencies’ have been politicized. They are on the side of the Deep State Swamp, which includes the military industrial complex, the globalist corporations, the Illuminati, and the socialist Democrats. The top brass at the CIA and FBI are Obama men and anti-Trump. General Flynn was targeted by Obama and the FBI invented a process crime to ruin his career and reputation. They wanted to make President Trump look bad. The former NSA director James Clapper can lie to Congress and it’s not a big deal because he’s on the Swamp team. General Flynn was set up and the Swamp made it into a big deal.

Trump has pardoned Flynn, but he should have been exonerated on his own. Unfortunately the courts are populated by judges who are controlled by the Swamp, not the law. They did not want Flynn freed from their grip.

Now that Flynn has been pardoned, the President should also pardon Snowden and Assange. Edward Snowden risked his life and tossed away his career in order to warn us about the rogue and corrupt security agencies. They violate our 4thAmendment when they spy on us. Julian Assange is not a US citizen but the same crowd—the Swamp—wants him sent to the United States to face charges of espionage. To put it bluntly, the military industrial complex doesn’t want We The People to know the war crimes they are committing. They want to know everything about each of us, but we can know nothing about the crimes they are committing because they hide behind the curtain of “national security.” Assange had the nerve to do real journalism and tell us the truth unlike our resident corporate mass media, which is controlled by Swamp. The lying legacy media only tells tell us the fake news that the Swamp wants us to hear.

While I’m at it, President Trump also needs to release the truth about the Kennedy assassination. We all know the ‘official’ Warren Commission Report is bunk. We know the CIA was involved, and most likely George H.W. Bush as well. We know the truth is ugly, but we need to hear it with the bark left on.

Tell us the truth and pardon the truth tellers!

— Ben Garrison

Rebellion rising; the people have had enough


The walls of lockdown fascism are cracking, in large ways and small. Actually, there is no small. Every act inspired by the fire of freedom counts

Re-Posted from The Canada Free Press By Jon Rappoport — NoMoreFakeNews—— Bio and ArchivesNovember 27, 2020

Signs of the times—-

Large anti-lockdown protests are sweeping across Europe. Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, the UK, Poland. The media are trying to put a lid on coverage of these momentous events.

In Southern California, five sheriffs of populous counties (17 million people) are refusing to enforce Governor Newsom’s new curfew order. A petition to recall the governor is gaining steam.

England—police have warned government officials they’re “sitting on a time bomb,”

(To read about Jon’s mega-collection, The Matrix Revealed)

In New York, members of the Chasidic sect held a wedding attended by several thousand people, sitting closely packed without masks.

In a more intimate setting, up close and powerfully personal, gym members and owners in Buffalo, New York, shouted down cops and a public health officer, who had entered the gym because the gathering exceeded the prescribed limit. The gym personnel drove out the cops and followed them, to make sure they left the property.

In Buffalo, protestors came to the house of Erie County Executive, Mark Poloncarz, to express their anger at new lockdown restrictions. The protest was also aimed at New York Governor Andrew Cuomo.

Sheriffs in Fulton and Erie Counties (New York) are refusing to enforce Thanksgiving lockdowns which limit the number of people in private homes.

In various areas of England, police have warned government officials they’re “sitting on a time bomb,” because lockdown rules make it illegal for two or more families to gather together for Christmas—-and law-enforcement personnel are permitted to invade homes where violations are occurring. The time bomb is, of course, huge numbers of outraged citizens.

In Australia, Qantas airline CEO Alan Joyce announced that travelers will be able to fly only after receiving the COVID vaccine, once it is approved. Soon afterwards, Joyce stood at a podium at an event to give a speech, and a grizzled Aussie walked up to him and shoved a pie in his face.

Two women saw New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy eating dinner at a restaurant with his family. He was maskless. “You’re such a dick!” one woman told him. Murphy has just extended his state’s lockdown, the ninth time he has done so since March. At his dinner table, Murphy tried to remain calm. He put on his mask.

Across America, without fanfare, pockets of the economy are wide open—-no masks, no distancing, no one is paying attention to government regulations

Andrew Kudrick, the police chief of Howell Township in New Jersey, says he won’t enforce the governor’s “draconian” limit of 10 people for Thanksgiving dinners.

The CDC has told Americans to stay home for Thanksgiving. Last weekend, two million Americans boarded flights.

In a form of silent protest, 300,000 residents of New York have left the city since pandemic restrictions began.

It should be noted that, among the several hundred thousand (or more) Trump supporters who gathered in Washington DC, at a Stop The Steal rally, few people wore masks, and no one paid attention to social distancing regulations.

Across America, without fanfare, pockets of the economy are wide open—-no masks, no distancing, no one is paying attention to government regulations.

The walls of lockdown fascism are cracking, in large ways and small. Actually, there is no small. Every act inspired by the fire of freedom counts.
