Statistically IMPOSSIBLE ....

 

“The only thing necessary for EVIL to triumph is that good men do nothing.” ~Edmond Burke 

Where are the good men (and women) dead? In the heart or in the head? Witnessing our leaders profound inaction in the face of hard evidence of widespread election fraud on a massive scale and the subsequent media coverage of this 2020 Presidential Election, personally, I have think the majority of good men may just BE flat-out DEAD in both the heart and the head.  The latter being said of course with a few notable exceptions, chief among these being Mr. Rudy Giuliani.











This 2020 Presidential Election cycle is not only rife with thousands upon thousands of disconcerting anomalies which are backed up by hard evidence (e.g., internet traffic data records into and out of polling sites --as presented by a form U.S. Covert Intelligence Officer-- in key swing states and counties and sworn eye-witness testimonies of voting and vote counting irregularities, including banning Republican poll watchers from witnessing election counts in the key swing counties which supposedly 'put Biden over the top'), this election is an outright assault on our democratic republic and everything that the United States of America truly stands for.  Enemies mostly domestic, with potentially foreign assistance ( i.e., Dominion voting systems/SmartMatic software and possibly code from China) sought to disenfranchise well over 74++ million Americans in order to deliver the predetermined elitist outcome of a Biden-Harris win.  A Biden 'win', if you actually take the time to analyze the data a bit more closely is so statistically anomalous that it is, in the words of many Ph.D. Mathematicians, “an outright impossibility.” Biden under-performed Hillary Clinton’s 2016 numbers in every single county, except for the key counties in six “swing states” that supposedly have delivered him a fraudulent path to victory.  Furthermore, we are supposed to believe that empty-headed, no concrete policies pre-election, hide-in-the-basement,  47 years as a preminent  D.C. swamp-creature, Joe Biden received THE MOST votes EVER in the history of all U.S. Presidential candidates, out-performing the beloved President H. Barack Obama??? Seriously?!?  How dumb do the elites and their propaganda arm mainstream media think "We the People" are?  This when Biden only won 477 of the 689 counties Obama carried.  President Trump carried the majority of the counties in these key swing states by margins ranging from 21% -- 64%, with Biden somehow magically coming out way ahead just in key counties with the largest population centers, thereby granting him the win for the state with a margin of:  1) Nevada ==23,000  votes; 2) Pensylvania == 81,000 votes; 3) Wisconsin == 20,000 votes; 4) Arizona == 10,000 votes; 5) Michigan == 150,000 votes; 6) Georgia ==12,000 votes.   Now subtract Biden's win in the latter states by the number of estimated fraudulent paper --not even taking into account potential Dominion Systems machines and Smartmatic software potential fraud and disenfranschisement-- ballots: 1) Nevada == 95,000 votes;  2) Pensylvania == 121,000 votes; 3) Wisconsin == 200,000 votes; 4) Arizona == 300,000 votes; 5) Michigan ==500,000 votes ; 6) Georgia ==estimated* 200,000 votes (*pending security video investigation of suitcases of ballots taken out of hidden suitcases, lying in wait beneath tables,during a supposed 'water pipe burst' shutdown of the counting room in the wee hours of the morning after election day) [*Data from "Kline Election Integrity Project"] and you start to see a more realistic picture of what actually happened in the 2020 Presidential Election. Also in many of the swing counties for six contested states there are thousands to hundred more ballaots in the system than the number of people who are registered to legally VOTE (e.g., in State of Pensylvania there are 600,000 more ballots than voters according to legal documentation). Republicans were able to keep ahold of all of their governors and legislative bodies up for re-elction and they even added a few new ones to their count.  Republicans successfully defended their U.S. House Congressional seats and even added 12 new seats.  And if Georgia goes their way in January, they will retain their majority in the U.S. Senate.  There was no 'Blue Wave', in fact, down-ballot it was the exact opposite .. pre-election polling prognostications to the contrary.  Now, try and explain these highly improbably trends and numbers across the board: You can't! The math and voting trends just DO NOT ADD UP! 

Just because the media --sadly now including FOX NEWS: Father Murdoch is probably rolling over in his grave right about now!-- are not covering the above facts surrounding the 2020 Presidential Election massive election fraud doesn’t mean these allegations are not true and have no merit.  You can't just bore us into submission and acceptance of our disenfranchisement, leaving us willfully powerless to stop the globalist tide that will transform and ultimately destroy our nation.  There once was a time, when journalism actually meant following the story in order to get to the bottom of at least some semblance of truth, but not so these days.  'Accepted truth' by way omission, has now become the norm in American journalism, as well as in our politics.  Our media can follow, cover and speculate on literally FOUR YEARS of ‘Russian collusion’ in the total ABSENCE of any evidence, but they choose NOT to follow hard evidence pointing to fraud on a wildly massive scale in our most recent Presidential Election?!! It's truly shocking, not to mention appalling! Warning:  The zombies are here and their ranks are comprised of our former journalists.  Contrary to obliging sheeple mentality, getting at the truth is not “a threat to our democracy” --only a dishonest coward would ever have the gall to make such an inaccurate, disingenuous and wholly misleading statement.  An honest man would not fear legitimate post-election inquiry as outlined and provided for by our U.S. Constitution.  If as Democrats claim "there is no widespread fraud" as would overturn Biden's claim to victory, then none should prohibit any legitimate and thorough investigation in order to rule potential instances of fraud out.  The latter process is in fact necessary in order that the American public has faith in the integrity of our electoral system. To object to all inquiry across the board speaks rather to the Democratic machine's complicity in perpetrating an egregious fraud against the American people they claim to serve.  Allowing widespread election fraud --on a never before seen massive scale-- to go uninvestigated is the ONLY TRUE THREAT TO OUR DEMOCRACY and to the survival our beloved nation.  How truly shameful and dishonoring to memory of the courageous men and women who have given so freely of their blood, sweat and tears and even their very lives in service to this nation in order to ensure the survival of our founding principles, as enshrined by our United States Constitution. For only by remaining true these Constitutional principles will we, as a nation, remain the United States of America, home of the FREE and the Brave, able to pursue each our  own versions of LIFE, LIBERTY and HAPPINESS. Chief among the principles enshrined within our U.S. Constitution is the guaranteed right to participate in FREE and FAIR elections, especially our Presidential Elections.  Our VOTE should be sacred!  For it is through our federal elections that the WILL of “We of the People” is enacted, by choosing our President and the Congressional members who will represent us in the legislative body at the federal level. If we cannot conduct our elections with the confidence of “We the People”, then our Union is effectively null and void, as is the Presidency that claims victory illegitimate.

I truly have to wonder: where are the State Congressional members in the six contested “swing States”? Why have they not yet called for formal special sessions to address the mountain of fraud, collusion and ‘legal’ anomalies piling up before them? Are these legislators hoping to simply run out the CLOCK? Same goes for the DOJ, the dishonest swampy FBI --they had Hunter Biden's laptop with email chain evidence that the Biden's were paid by China and other countries to gain access to the former Vice President and they did absolutely nothing with it, in a Presidential Election year where Joe Biden wound up being the Democratic nominee ... talk about unethical, deep state-- and the CIA (if foreign actors were indeed involved)? It’s like a game of hot potato and no one wants or has the COURAGE to be left holding the potato because they don't have the courage to be the one who steps up to the plate to demand timely and decisive action.  So instead, everyone does absolutely nothing, hoping that: a) either some one else will pick up the hot potato; or b) the potato will simply splat onto the hard ground in a pile of indiscernable crumbs when the clock runs out. Well I have news for you silent men and women, this dishonorable inaction and acquiescence to a 'Biden victory' by way entertaining notions as to “what a future Biden Administration will look like.” ...This when instead you should be following up on the multitude of stories that credibly --with a whole mountain of EVIDENCE!-- suggest that Biden’s victory was rigged into the system in a coordinated, multi-faceted effort designed --well in advance-- to deliver just the counties and the numbers of additional votes --either by way of adding clean, non-legal voter associated Biden-only ballots (i.e., no down-ticket voting), by switching Trump votes electronically to Biden votes via pre-installed software algorithms, by running Biden ballots through multiple times, by digitally (remotely) altering vote totals, and/or by simply throwing away garbage bags full of legal Trump ballots-- needed within each of these key swing counties as would ensure Biden was pronounced the victor for the given State.

Getting to the bottom of what happened in this pandemic-timed election, a Presidential Election that appears to have gone completely off the rails, matters more than in any previous time in our nation’s history. Why? Because never before have we witnessed fraud on such a massive and widespread scale as this, with last minute changes to voting laws and methods --courtesy of a rather suspiciously timed China-virus pandemic-- resulting in a massive mail-in ballot scenario that was ripe with opportunities for entering illegal ballots and votes (via machines counting duplicate votes/switching votes and unverifiable mail-in ballots that were not rigorously vetted for authenticity/legality) into the system.  If the Democrats are allowed to get away with this, they have openly vowed to "change America!" --quote via Senator Chuck Schummer from a celebration rally just after the election.  And when the Left makes these 'changes', they will do so in such a way that is highly unlikely that any opposing party will ever regain power in the office of the President of the United States EVER again. Democrat leaders have openly stated they plan to add two new states (D.C. and Puerto Rico) to the U.S. Congress, thereby granting them four more Senate seats, as well as the additional apportioned House Seats. Then they’ve stated they will grant voting rights –if not outright citizenship-- to 20 million illegal immigrants, with an open border policy moving forward such that VOTES for Democrats will only continue to grow exponentially. And how would these new immigrant blocks vote? Democrat, unquestioningly of course.  Then of course Democrats have incidated that they will completely do away with the Electoral College, thereby eleminating the voice in our government for all non-coastal, non-Democrat cities forever.  Lastly, the Dems will stack the Supreme Court in order to ensure their laws –as crazy and detrimental to America’s bottom-line as they may prove to be-- will never be overturned or reigned back in again at any point in the future.

May God Bless, protect, strengthen and guide those who have found the courage within themselves to speak up in the fight for transparency, integrity and justice in our electoral process.  You are truly the modern-day American heroes!  And history will remember YOU!

In lieu of Congressional certification of actual election results, media compliance in gleefully prognosticating as to "what a future Biden (a.k.a. puppet) Administration will look like", coupled with the creation of heretofore non-existent “Office of the President Elect” are intended to grant the necessary air of credulity needed in order to send out the message, to America and the rest of the world, that "the election is now over and Joe Biden is inevitable."  If the Democrats have taught us nothing else, it is that in the land of the blind and easily persuadable, perception is KING, actual truth be damned right along with the history and legacy of our once great nation. Alas, there is some small measure of consolation for the President Trump supporters and people who LOVE AMERICA:  History will not remember those of you who choose to act a manner antithetical to the notions of honor, courage and integrity during this time of national crisis. We will remember that when our nation was in crisis, you choose to take the path of least reistance So choose your words, but more importantly choose your actions wisely, because the “long, but ultimately self-correcting moral arc of the universe” is presently making a hard-swing back around. You have been warned.  When the TRUTH finally hunts you down ......


12/2/20  I have been watching the Michagin State legislature hearing today and yesterday. [Tune into One America Network News (via KlowdTv.com) or see highlights on NewsmaxTv (free)] Profoundly illuminating.  Strange that standard media outlets gave no coverage time to these hearings? The ones in Arizona either.  Watching these hearings and hearing the testimony of the former U.S. Army Cybersecurity Expert, Col. Phil Waldrom (Ret) made it pretty clear to me that AG Barr needs to get his rear into gear and have the voting machines in key counties, in the six swing States, impounded so that formal forensic investigations can be conducted a.s.a.p.!  And what about the server hubs (e.g., in Germany and Barcelona Spain), given the fact Dominion refused to answer calls to testify about their electronic voting systems in the Michigan --and other-- State investigatory hearings.  Can AG Barr do anything to get at these?

Disturbing facts:  820,000 ballots were processed into the system in the absence of a balanced witnessing.  That is to say no Republicans were allowed to present during the processing of these ballots, this in spite of a court order which clearly stated Republican poll workers were to be given access immediately.

Then in PA there are 600,000 more ballots in the system than are on record as having been sent out --> see story of USPS contract worker on "Lou Dobbs" Fox News, Tuesday 12/2/20.

12/4/20 Postal workers are coming foward, swearing affidavits, to the effect that hundreds of thousands of mail-in ballots in key swing States were back-dated on Novemeber 4th.

12/5/20  Fraud Caught on Security Cameras in Georgia:  We now have convention center security footage showing that five poll-workers re-entered the counting room in Wayne county, GA, after the room had been cleared out due a supposed 'water main breakage'  --although to date no official work order to back this claim up can be found; to date only a work order for a toliet overflowing can be located--- which subsequently required 'an emergency pause' in vote counting.  These four workers then worked quickly to pull out suitcases lying in wait beneath the counting tables --where the counting tables were conveniently covered in floor length, black table cloths.  Each suitcase was loaded with hundreds?/thousand(s)? of ballots which the workers then proceeded to quickly load into the system.

Traffic grinds to a standstill?

Heard yesterday Google is being brought into court on anti-trust violations?  Surprising?  ... Well, since I've been writing about politics it appears as if my daily page traffic has all but completely shutdown.  Coincidence?  I'd like to think not, but I suppose HOPE is not a plan ... I would support Google, as I've been overall happy with this Blogger platform, but suppression of FREE SPEECH is just not something I could ever get behind.  Fix that Google and you may just wind up having a fighting chance in your upcoming court battle?




10/23/20 Had a long drive today and I found myself thinking as I drove along:  What has changed in the last two decades, particularly with respect to the way we communicate with one another, have conversations and engage in the mutual exchange of ideas?  Right off the bat, the concept of a "mutual exchange of ideas" seems to be almost non-existent these days.  So why is that?  I have to think this in large part due to the overwhelming amount of time people dedicate to maintaining a presence on social media platforms, where people tend to surround themselves with others who share their same viewpoints on key issues.  Floating in like-minded bubbles of virtual existence has almost anesthetized people to the notion that there are in fact different viewpoints on a wide variety of issues, because in America --fortunately!--one size does not fit all.  Believe it or not, our diversity in thought and idea --not just skin color-- is what makes America unique among nations.  When the 'bubble-minded' people do happen to encounter a viewpoint that runs counter to their pre-conceived notions instead of expressing a healthy curiosity and willingness to potentially learn something new, they immediately regress into a knee-jerk reaction of outright attack, which is not in any way  beneficial toward the end of fostering a healthy exchange of ideas and information.  We should not fear a truth different from what we have always assumed, for therein lies our potential for growth and true greatness ....


"In every man there is something wherein I may learn of him, and in that I am his pupil." ~Ralph Waldo Emerson


Moreover, the amount of time our society spends looking face-down at a screen has grown exponentially, particularly over the course of this past decade, and being cooped up with ongoing lock-downs and shutdowns during this current pandemic has not exactly helped matters any.  When your screen becomes your main source of input, news and information you can very easily lose sight of the reality of what is actually going in the REAL world around you.  Quite frankly, not only is this sad state of affairs in the current age of media propaganda and narrative-driven 'truth' and information censoring: it's downright SCARY!  

In this sort of modus operandi the social-media user can potentially lose control of their mind and independent thought process, being easily swept along in the prevailing current of spin which more often than not bears little resemblance to actual real-world truth.  The solution to this?  OWN YOUR MIND!  Unplug, engage in the real-world and real-world conversations, with a healthy curiosity and willingness to entertain differing viewpoints towards the end of potentially learning something NEW --"Change your perspective; Change your LIFE!"  Be skeptical of the information you are being fed on your social media platforms, heck even from mainstream media.  Dare to seek truth and information from multiple sources, don't just sit back and settle for the 'truth' that happens to come your way.   Only when you fully assume RESPONSIBILITY for your independent thought processes will you become a meaningful contributor to our real-world society at large.

It also occurs to me that a key founding principle of our great nation is the this very FREEDOM OF THOUGHT and a willingness to engage in a healthy and robust debate, where the best ideas will  ultimately RISE to the top and thereby find their way into being.  If your ideas have merit why ever would you limit the audience in which they would be heard and debated? Our nation was founded upon a profound diversity, most especially a diversity of thought-expression and the right to self-determination.  Somewhere along the way, however, we've lost sight of this!  And we need to, now more-so than ever, find our way back to these driving principles.  For in the absence of FREEDOM OF THOUGHT/EXPRESSION we allow ourselves to become merely pawns in larger game where those holding the levers of power will continue to divide and control us.  FREE YOUR MIND!  That is the ultimate revolution and pathway to spiritual evolution.

What is LOVE?

"Love is just a word until someone comes along and gives it meaning." ~Paulo Coelho




At the center of almost every known galaxy lies a Black Hole
 
"The wound is the place where the light enters" ~Rumi

10/28/2018 After the tragic events of Saturday's shooting at a Jewish Synagogue, in Pittsuburg PA (USA), the above quote leaves me pondering, conversely, what then is hate? Perhaps, hate is an evil seed lurking deep within the hearts of all men, stirred into action by misunderstanding? By mistrust? By envy? By those seeking an angle toward regaining power? "... And those deeds you strive to keep hidden shall be borne into the light." This is my ongoing prayer, as always.  May Peace and healing eventually find their way to those who have suffered such great loss in this senseless (soul-less) shooting.  Love and Hate, but a stone's throw away from one another in the duality of our human nature, along the continuum of our existence .. (which I happen to believe is 'circular' in nature, with my profound belief in re-incarnation).

Now is the time for all good men to stand up for what they truly believe in ....

Now is the time for all good men and women to stand up for what they truly believe in .... The future of our world may well depend upon your voice and your action.

It's late and I've yet to sleep, but as I lie in 'bed' and contemplate the notion of sleep I find my head is pounding and my heart is heavy. Another, in a long procession of terror attacks --over the course of the past two years-- has most recently struck on the streets of Barcelona, with a rented vehicle being used to run down innocent pedestrians enjoying a warm summer day on the streets of beautiful Barcelona.

I find myself perplexed by the response among people here, in the United States, to this most recent terror attack in Barcelona. Perhaps a lack of proximity to the the devastation and carnage, being an entire ocean away, helps to explain the lack of a sense of outrage, concern and a determination to do something –anything tangible-- towards the end of preventing another such attack. The response I mainly seem to be getting from people I've encountered is –and I'm paraphrasing here-- “Yes, it's a horrible tragedy. But it happened [thank God it didn't happen here] and its going to happen again; it's just a question of where and when.” Call me crazy, but I'm not okay with that, the notion that this type of violence is somehow inevitable and part of our new way of life in these modern times … violence being unleashed upon defenseless, innocent bystanders merely going about the business of their daily lives, while trying to find pockets of happiness in a world that seems to have gone blanking mad. I stop and ponder the vehicular tragedy we experienced here, in the USA, in Charlottesville, VA over the weekend, when a white supremacists plowed into a crowd of anti-supremacist protesters which wound up taking the life of a young woman and two police officers. It too was a terrible tragedy. Most people you ask will say the two events, the one in Barcelona and the one in Charlottesville, have no connections whatsoever, but I wholeheartedly disagree. When I think on the events in Charlottesville, VA, it occurs to me that while the things that white supremacists believe in and stand for run counter to the very notion of the things I believe America stands for, the rights of these supremacists to march and to say these things they supposedly believe in is protected by our constitution. Moreover, while the white supremacists have the right to speak their hateful and divisive rhetoric, in America, we have hundreds --perhaps even thousands of people-- who found the courage within themselves to meet these hateful supremacists on equal ground in order to speak out against their evil way of thinking. While I do not condone the violence, on either side of this equation, I am somehow comforted by the notion that in America we have a strong voice advocating for truth, reason and the values we as a majority in this society espouse.

When I think on the radical beliefs being inculcated in so many of the youth practicing the faith of Islam these days –followers of radical Islamism advocating the use of terrorism and violence in order to advance their agenda of hatred, intolerance and oppression-- however, I do not see this same counterbalancing force we witnessed in Charlottesville, VA, over the weekend. That is to say, I see no counterbalance within the larger faith of Islam that would –or has-- organize(d), in large, meaningful numbers, speaking from positions of truth and power, in order to courageously speak out loudly against the evil being unleashed by radical Islamist extremism. I truly believe if these young men, so susceptible to being recruited by the extremists, actually had another voice to turn to for a check and balance upon the radical beliefs --by way of an examination of the radical beliefs within the context of the mainstream interpretations of the Quran and its teachings-- that so many of these men would find their way free from the grasp of extremism. And quite frankly, until this counterbalancing voice from within the faith of Islam emerges with strength, numbers and the courage of their convictions, I truly believe the violence we have seen in terrorist attacks like Barcelona will continue to be sown upon our streets, both here and abroad, wreaking havoc upon the innocent and the defenseless.

“The thing to be feared most, above all, is that good men will choose to do nothing in the face of true evil.”


Late a.m. ... Thinking further on the above, in the light of day, it occurs to me that the one thing the alt-right, alt-left and Islamism (radical Islamist extremism) all have in common is a driving force to shut-down open dialogue, thereby eliminating any possibility for meaningful, multi-way discussions to occur.  In the absence of dialogue, things tend to escalate rather quickly towards the end of violence.


[I also have some early detection and technology driven prevention/disabling ideas  to thwart terrorism, but I'm too tired to share them here tonight.  Perhaps, I'll share tomorrow after a night with at least a few hours sleep.]


8/23/2013 Then there is that … That the leader of the Free World might actually assume a leadership role in addressing the elephant in the room by putting an end to the era of appeasement and cowering,where terrorist are concerned. After nearly a decade of speaking softly, Trump, in his role as Commander in Chief, is finally dusting off America's Big Stick … “Speak softly, but carry a big stick”, ever heard that one before? Well, thankfully, President Trump has. On Monday, President Trump stood in front of the rest of the free world, addressing his troops, and announced to them and to the nation at large that America, along with its allies in the Middle East, was finally going to get about the business of bringing the fight to the terrorists.

During his address, President Trump informed his troops that unlike the previous administration the military has his full backing and support. Moreover, from this point forward America is not going to be pre-scripting their play-by- play moves for all the world to see. Trump assured his troops that they will have adequate funding, training and the resources necessary to do their job in real-time. President Trump also announced that he is going to hold our allies in the Middle East (Saudia Arabia and Pakistan in particular, Jordan seems to have been holding up their end of the bargain) accountable for the commitments they have made toward the end of actually hunting down and eliminating the radical Islamist terrorists, hell-bent on unleashing their ideology of violence, intolerance, hatred and oppression upon the innocent and defenseless.

These terrorist have now been warned that the era of inaction, whereby governments have done little to actively combat terrorism at its source, is over.  We're through putting colorfully worded band-aids on the very real problem of radical extremist violence.  We will mourn tragedy, but moving forward we will take decisive offensive actions. The Free World is about to shine one heck of BIG light into the deep dark holes where violent Islamist extremist ideology seems to fester and breed, and soon there will be no more safe places for these terrorists-in-the-making to hide.  Perhaps the moral courage demonstrated by the President of the United States, in identifying the true evil that exists within our world today, and then putting a decisive plan of eradication into immediate action, will inspire other world leaders to finally take a definitive stand towards the end of tangibly removing the threat of terrorism from their own lands. Perhaps the leaders of the true faith of Islam will also find the moral courage to speak out against these violent extremists, using the wisdom and peaceful teachings to be found within the Quran in order to show misguided young men a better path in this life. In the face of true evil, President Donald Trump, has chosen to do something meaningful and I find, strangely enough, that his voice, his action gives me hope for this world of ours after all.

Lacking Pretense ...



"Some lose all mind and become soul, insane.
Some lose all soul and become mind, intellectual.
Some lose both and become accepted.”

~Charles Bukowski










Listening to my favorite 70's era tunes on my Spotify playlist right now.  Think that's why I love this music so much:  it's completely lacking in pretense.  "Don't Fear the Reaper" ... Blue Oyster Cult.  Love this song!  Hmmm ... Death has no pretense.  He employs no guise or means of deceit ... Death is perhaps the one truth we all share?  I happened to write a poem about dealing with the loss of a loved one the other day.  It's titled "Empty Chair."  Perhaps I'll share it with you here one day ... Me, I'm perfectly at ease with Death.  As I've said before, Death and Isabelle are old friends.  There are many types of death to my way of thinking and I suppose that's fitting, seeing as there are conversely many types of love.  It's all about balance, is it not?

... Thoughts after writing this post:  Lie vs. Lay?  Irregular verbs, transitive verbs and conjugating ... Oh my?!  Did I get it right?????  Being an engineer: grammar was never one of my strong subjects.  The English language --with respect to grammar-- did, however, begin to make a bit more sense to me after learning a foreign language.  But I do love words and word weaving, so this has led me to strive for accuracy in my writing whenever possible.  My high school English teacher would be proud of me?? ... Think I had it right with my first pass "lying" vs. "laying". Not that I would've minded laying on a beach in paradise ;)
