Windham New Hampshire Ballot Audit Finds Folded Ballots Generated False Results


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on May 22, 2021 | Sundance | 265 Comments

The people on the ground in Windham, New Hampshire, are doing an excellent job holding the election officials and auditors accountable to the people during this forensic ballot audit. The audit started because the tabulating machines (Dominion hardware and software) did not accurately count the votes from the physical ballots.

During the first small audit (recount) it was discovered that Republican votes were undercounted and Democrat candidates were overcounted. This anomaly was discovered during a hand recount of the ballots as compared to the electronic tabulation results. After the first set of tabulation results were discovered to be inaccurate the state authorized a full forensic audit.  The full audit is ongoing, here’s the update:

Yesterday it was reported the second hand recount matched the first, which means the machine tabulation of those ballots was wrong.  The auditors wondered if folded ballots generated the problem.  The test of folded -vs- unfolded ballots (counted by same machine) showed a high number of errors.  That would mean the tabulation machines across all of New Hampshire may have this problem.

Dept of Labor and OSHA Reverse Course, Will Not Enforce Employer Responsibility to Report COVID Vaccination Injuries


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on May 22, 2021 | Sundance | 190 Comments

An interesting about-face from the Dept of Labor and OSHA.  Previously OSHA stated that any employer who required vaccinations must report adverse reactions as workplace injuries.  However, OSHA is now saying they will not “enforce” that record-keeping requirement until May of 2022.

Essentially, vaccine mandating employers don’t have to start recording vaccination reactions as workplace injuries for another year.   This is a complete reversal from the OSHA position earlier this month.  The rules have now been modified as below:

OSHA – “DOL and OSHA, as well as other federal agencies, are working diligently to encourage COVID-19 vaccinations. OSHA does not wish to have any appearance of discouraging workers from receiving COVID-19 vaccination, and also does not wish to disincentivize employers’ vaccination efforts. As a result, OSHA will not enforce 29 CFR 1904’s recording requirements to require any employers to record worker side effects from COVID-19 vaccination through May 2022. We will reevaluate the agency’s position at that time to determine the best course of action moving forward.” (LINK)

Notice the obtuse wording: “OSHA will not enforce” the recording requirement.   So long as everyone sticks to “don’t ask/don’t tell” employers will no longer be penalized on their workplace injuries (OSHA log) and/or insurance rate from negative results of mandated, untested, non-FDA approved, vaccines.

California Will Lift Most COVID Restrictions, But Will Require Vaccination ID for Large Events


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on May 22, 2021 | Sundance | 204 Comments

The state of California has released the new guidance that will begin on June 15th (no reasoning for date given) that permits returning to almost all non-COVID activities for California residents. [DETAILS HERE]  Essentially it appears that most pre-COVID activities are now authorized by the state; however, large venue gatherings indoors and outdoors will require masks by non-vaccinated persons.

Unlike Oregon who is requiring an entry check for non-mask wearing residents to prove their vaccinated status, within the California rules there is an allowed “self attestation” of vaccination compliance: “Businesses and venue operators may also utilize self-attestation at point of registration, during ticket purchase or on the day of the event prior to entry into the venue.

Pro-Israel and Pro-Palestine Clash in NYC


Armstrong Economics Blog/Civil Unrest Re-Posted May 21, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

New York City may be the melting pot, but that also has its downside. Pro-Israel and pro-Palestine protesters have clashed near Times Square. The tensions in New York City over the conflict between Israel and Hamas illustrate that this is not a conflict that will simply pass. The deep resentment extends through the generations and this time, it may be different.

There are three main hot spots on the horizon. How do the cycles look for each region are under review in a coming report on this subject matter. We will post as soon as the editing is finished.

Gates & Epstein


Armstrong Economics Blog/Conspiracy Re-Posted May 21, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

The egotistical Bill Gates apparently wanted the Nobel Peace Prize like Al Gore for his climate change efforts, or perhaps for his zero CO2 and reducing the population arguments. Gates apparently would send employees to the Nobel ceremonies just in case he was to be awarded some honor. It turns out that Gates believed that Jeffrey Epstein had the connections to get him the prize. Interestingly enough, Epstein may have helped Al Gore get his Nobel Prize. Even one of Epstein’s sex slaves said she met Al Gore through Ghislaine Maxwell.

Epstein cultivated elites clearly for power. Epstein even had Nobel Prize winners Frank Wilczek, Gerald Edelman, and Murray Gell-Mann in his list of elites. Despite reports of abuse of underage girls, Gates and others were always happy to accept funding from Epstein and/or meet with him for favors. Jeffrey Epstein and Bill Gates met with the chairman of the Norwegian Nobel Committee. Claims that Obama gave the Medal of Freedom to Epstein are not true. Obama did give Gates the Medal of Freedom.

Once again, I believe that Epstein used the underage girls as a honey trap to buy influence through blackmail. I believe that Gates was attracted to that power, and the more this divorce unfolds, the greater the details may yet emerge.

Former House Speakers Paul Ryan and John Boehner Conduct Fundraising Rallies for The Shameful 35 House Decepticons


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on May 21, 2021 | Sundance | 71 Comments

Former House Speaker Paul Ryan previously held a fundraising event for Liz Cheney (March 2021).  Former House Speaker John Boehner previously held a fundraising event for Ohio Rep Anthony Gonzalez (March 2021)…. And now Paul Ryan announces he will host a fundraising event for Illinois Representative Adam Kinzinger.

WASHINGTON DC – Former House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) is set to headline a fundraiser on Monday for Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.), an ardent critic of former President Trump and one of 10 House Republicans who voted in January to impeach the former president. (more)

What do Liz Cheney, Anthony Gonzalez and Adam Kinzinger have in common?

If you notice they are all members of the shameful 35 HOUSE DeceptiCons, you are correct.

.

The issue with Kinzinger should be, essentially, moot.  Illinois is losing one congressional district due to the 2020 census figures and a drop in population.  The Democrats control Illinois and will more than likely re-district the state to get rid of Kinzinger’s (republican) district.  So Paul Ryan fundraising for Kinzinger is more a matter of financial positioning for something else as opposed to retaining his seat in the 2022 election.  In essence, Kinzinger is toast.

Previously I thought Kinzinger was likely to become a CNN contributor (although it could be Fox News), as an interim position before he goes back to DC and begins K-Street lobbying, likely on behalf of some defense contractors.  However, it could also be Fox News, which would align with Ryan’s support (Ryan is a Fox News board member).

For those who have followed national politics for a while these networks and alignments are clear and transparent.  However, if you are new to the understanding you will see more connective tissue if you just keep the 35 members above in mind when you read political stories.   A lot more will come out before the 2022 mid-term election, and we need to continually reference the background to get an understanding.

It doesn’t do any good to replace DeceptiCons without replacing or nullifying DeceptiCon leadership.  I plan to write about this more very soon, but keep in mind when we flipped 67 House seats in the 2010 mid-term election and the response from the DC system to that outcome.  In 2011 Obama and Holder initiated the IRS targeting as a direct result… and the DeceptiCon leadership (Boehner, Ryan, Cantor, McCarthy, McConnell, Thune, Cornyn, Blunt, Barrasso, etc. ) supported it.

The BIG UGLY purge needs to be a purge of DeceptiCons writ large, and a complete purge (or nullification) of the DeceptiCon leadership groups.  It is going to take a lot of education of MAGA voters to help them to see who the DeceptiCons really are.  For an example just look at how many of them support Nikki Haley.

DeceptiCons are by their nature Deceptive Conservatives…. AND they have a lot of conservative media support, A LOT.

It is important for MAGA voters to get deep in the weeds and understand the networks, the alignments, and how those cliques connect to specific interests in conservative media.  Unfortunately, when you do that level of network connection and sunlight YOU become an enemy of the GOP system.

We ain’t called The Last Refuge by accident.

The DeceptiCon Paytriots hate us as much, if not more, than they hate Democrats.

BREAKING, Judge Orders Physical Review of Fulton County Ballots – Expert Witness Testified High Percentage Discrepancy in Ballot Batches


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on May 21, 2021 | Sundance | 324 Comments

There are approximately ten plaintiffs in an ongoing lawsuit about the election and ballot tabulation in Fulton County (Atlanta), Georgia.  The state and local officials had been denying access to the physical ballots, only permitting a review of low resolution scanned images.  However, an expert testified a disparity of approximately 21% (of those “low resolution” absentee ballot batches) from what the state reported to what the auditors were able to see.  A large number of the scanned ballots appear to have been counted twice.

The only way to really tell if any of the batches contained duplicated or photocopied ballots would be to look at the physical ballots (preferred) or to look at high-resolution images of the physical ballots.

Today a Georgia judge agreed to allow the plaintiffs to review the physical ballots in a process yet determined (future order forthcoming).  The custody of the ballots will remain under the control of the Fulton County election officials, but the auditors will be permitted access to them.   This could be significant as there are 145,000 specific Fulton County absentee ballots at issue.

[Side Note: a prior observer of the CCTV system noted that election workers were opening absentee ballots from Chinese origins (LINK)]

ABC News Story HERE – Atlanta Journal Constitution News Story Here

ATLANTA – Georgia is headed for another review of its presidential election results after a judge agreed to unseal more than 145,000 Fulton County absentee ballots Friday.

The details and timing of the review must still be determined. But the plaintiffs in a lawsuit against the county want to scan and examine the ballots to determine whether they are legitimate. At a hearing Friday, Henry County Superior Court Judge Brian Amero made clear the ballots must remain in the custody of Fulton election officials.

[…] Amero said he intends to order the absentee ballots to be scanned by county officials to produce high-resolution images. The plaintiffs want to examine those images as to determine whether they are fraudulent. For example, the high-resolution images could be used to determine whether ballots were filled out by hand or mass produced by a copy machine.

[…] Attorneys for Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger argued against unsealing the paper ballots in a court brief last month. They said the plaintiffs had no legal authority to independently verify and tabulate ballots. However, in a statement Friday, Raffensperger struck a different tone.

“From day one I have encouraged Georgians with concerns about the election in their counties to pursue those claims through legal avenues,” Raffensperger said. “Fulton County has a long-standing history of election mismanagement that has understandably weakened voters’ faith in its system. Allowing this audit provides another layer of transparency and citizen engagement.” (read more)

Similar to Baltimore Maryland, Atlanta Georgia is a hot-bed of corruption at almost every level of government.  From the school system to local elected officials there have been widespread arrests over the years for corruption.  It would be a surprise if election officials were not breaking the law in Fulton County…. it is, quite simply, how they operate.

Google MUM Search Engine – Is it Dangerous?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Technology Re-Posted May 21, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: What is your opinion of this new Google MUM AI search engine?

HU

ANSWER: It is for complex searches, and it is using a neural net. What you must understand is that a neural net is capable of finding things within a database. It is not capable of original analysis. IBM’s Watson was touted as having the ability to cure cancer. It failed. It could beat anyone in Jeopardy, and it could play chess. But a neural net will never actually provide true thinking in an original context.

I was creating AI during the early 1980s. I created a program to mimic a politician and let my kids play with it. It would store your answers and keep a conversation going. For example, it might ask if you have a pet. You respond, “Yes, a dog.” “Oh, boy or girl?” “It’s a girl.” “What’s her name?” “Napoleon.” It would record that info, so the next time my daughter would go on the computer, it would ask, “How is Napoleon?” She came home from school one day and saw I had the computer apart. She began to cry, thinking I kill it.

I learned how to create an AI system that would seem alive. It would have a personality. Curse at it, and it would curse back. But it wasn’t alive. It could not think for itself.  To accomplish the next level, I had to teach it how to analyze on its own. That could never be accomplished through a neural net. It takes more definitive power than just that. Still, it will never become conscious. It will not wake up one day and decide it hates my guts for some reason and wants me dead.

Google’s MUM will advance searching. However, it will not suddenly become conscious out of nowhere and rule the world. We have really evil people for that.

Using the Criminal Law to Target Trump & his Family


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted May 20, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

AG Letitia James revealed her investigation into the Trump Organization has gone from a civil probe to a criminal investigation. This is the way the law is used to abuse people and this is being done to try to prevent Trump from running in 2024 or any of his family. The word is James is out to make sure Trump does not run in 2024.

The dirty tricks of politics and criminal prosecutions is a serious problem in our legal system. Perhaps you will recall the IRS targeting Tea Party organizations to interfere in the elections under Obama. When the IRS was ordered to turn over all emails for the investigation, they pulled a Hillary – Oh sorry, we lost all emails.

Back in 1992, I was in Tokyo and about to fly home when I received a phone call asking me to fly to Texas to meet with Ross Perot to help assess his character to be president. I rearranged my flight from New York to Texas. Then suddenly, Ross Perot withdrew claiming there was a plot to disrupt his daughter’s wedding. Even Bill Clinton said he did not know what to say despite the fact that the allegations were made against Bush and the Republicans. The truth was really that Perot had a free port airport and he was threatened with an investigation of his entities. He suddenly dropped out talking nonsense about his daughter’s wedding. As always, somehow I seem to have been in the middle of so many interesting events.

Lyndon LaRouche, Jr. (1922-2019) was a candidate for President eight times between 1976 and 2004 and even ran TV commercials. I never met him nor was I ever asked to meet him. Lyndon LaRouche’s U.S. presidential campaigns were controversial, to say the least. That even warranted SNL to do a skit on him. Nevertheless, the powers that be used the law to imprison him to stop the political ads. In October 1986, hundreds of state and federal officers raided LaRouche offices in Virginia and Massachusetts. A federal grand jury indicted LaRouche and 12 associates on credit card fraud and obstruction of justice; the charges alleged that they had attempted to defraud people of millions of dollars, including several elderly people, by borrowing money they did not intend to repay.

Borrowing money with no initial intent to pay anything back is a mental crime. You do not have to actually commit it. This is a THOUGHT crime like going to a bank to borrow money and then claiming you do not intend to pay off the debt. But this is how the law works – it is a mental thought that they prove by innuendo, circumstantial evidence, and it becomes does the jury BELIEVE it is more likely or not that there was no intent. We could lock up most of Congress and the White House using these theories. They borrow every year with no intention to pay anything back.

LaRouche was sentenced to prison. Former Attorney General Ramsey Clark joined the defense team for two appeals, writing that the case involved “a broader range of deliberate and systematic misconduct and abuse of power over a longer period of time in an effort to destroy a political movement and leader, than any other federal prosecution in my time or to my knowledge.” There was no question that LaRouche was prosecuted politically. I may not have agreed with his leftist political ideas, but he was nonetheless politically prosecuted.

I have been told in phone calls over the past few months that the powers that be want to convince Trump NOT to run in 2024. They regard Trump as a man of the people and that is not a good thing for the way governments want to control our lives.

This is what you get with a corrupt government. They will always use the criminal law to go after people they try to discredit ultimately to influence elections.
