If it is another /pol/ LARP

We will probably know tomorrow. That being said, I found it interesting that the poster referred to something that most non-lawyers get completely wrong, which is the one thing that makes this post on /pol/ potentially credible. See if there is anything that sticks out to you as unlikely, and then I’ll explain what I noticed.

I am an insider with the Biden campaign team and have been tasked with lurking here over the past month or so trying to monitor and report on what information is being discovered and passed around on the web. Pol seems to get news on the election and fraud claims faster than any other outlet the campaign team is familiar with.

Anyway, I wanted to drop some slightly early news on you. Late this evening, the campaign received an advance copy of Sidney Powell’s lawsuit that she plans on filing tomorrow in Georgia.

I’ll just say this – a lot of people in the building lost their shit after seeing it. Not only does it make a metric ton of bombshell accusations, she appears to the goods to back up many of her claims. I have some experience with lawsuits, and I don’t recall ever seeing one with this many exhibits.

I won’t claim to be “in the know,” with respect to what fraud actually occurred or what level was approved or authorized by the big wigs at the top, but I will say that the mood around here has taken a serious turn. Earlier this evening, everyone was basically still in party mode, especially following the GSA decision yesterday to release the transition funds (champagne!). Since receiving the suit this evening, no one has heard from either Joe or Kamala and everyone is acting like it’s really, really bad.

I don’t want to say too much, except that the suit alleges some really, really bad things in the form of what amounts to basically bribes and pay-to-play schemes and implicates high level DNC operatives and GOP members in Georgia. There is some really meaningful witness testimony, including a couple of whistle blowers (DNC ops that worked on this campaign) that actually admit to being complicit with vote switching and ballot stuffing.

The element on which a number of uninformed /pol/ skeptics have focused is the “advance copy” of the lawsuit being provided to the other side. But in both arbitrations and lawsuits, it is required to provide the opposing counsel a copy of the filings at the same time you send it to the court. This can actually turn into a tactical game when deadlines are specified, since some lawyers intentionally wait to see the other side’s filings before filing their own.

Since it usually takes 1-3 days for court filings to appear on the relevant court sites, it would not be uncommon for a non-lawyer to describe what is actually a copy of the filing as an “advance copy”. If the post is not a LARP, what this probably means is that Sidney Powell has started the process of uploading what is a very large filing and will announce it tomorrow after it has finished.

Anyhow, we’ll find out soon enough. I just thought that was an unusual non-mistake that the average LARPer would have been unlikely to make.

UPDATE: Maybe a LARP, maybe not, but the Sidney Powell lawsuit was filed as described. And while we haven’t seen the exhibits yet, it does refer to a lot of them.

Trump pardons Gen. Flynn

The certification process in PA is halted:

A judge on Wednesday ordered Pennsylvania officials not to certify the results of the 2020 election until a court holds a hearing Friday on the matter.

The order was made by Commonwealth Judge Patricia McCullough, according to the Epoch Times. Pennsylvania announced on Tuesday that officials had completed the certification of the presidential race. The judge’s decision also blocks the certification of all the other election results.

Don’t get too up, don’t get too down. 

UPDATE: And in not-necessarily-unrelated news, President Trump pardoned General Flynn:

President Donald Trump announced Wednesday he had granted a pardon to former national security advisor Michael Flynn, who pleaded guilty to lying to Congress about his Russia contacts, only to later seek to withdraw it. 

‘It is my Great Honor to announce that General Michael T. Flynn has been granted a Full Pardon. Congratulations to @GenFlynn and his wonderful family, I know you will now have a truly fantastic Thanksgiving!’ Trump wrote.

Trump announced the pardon minutes after calling into a hearing-style event where he said he ‘won’ the election and called for it to be ‘overturned.’

RIP D10S

Diego Maradona has died.

One of the greatest soccer players of all time, a World Cup winner, Serie A icon, European champion, the Argentine international’s significance beyond the sport will likely be lost on many Americans, but Michael Jordan is probably the closest analogy.

I was once at a soccer game and talking to a Frenchman about the upcoming World Cup. When I asked him who he was supporting after the French national team – most World Cup viewers have distinct second favorites and little boys will usually provide you with a list of their favorites in each group – he looked rather knowing and told me “one guess” before pulling up his shirt.

The entire left side of his torso was covered with a tattooed bust of Maradona.

This goal against England, scored for Argentina in 1986, is generally considered to be his greatest, although I personally find #8 on this top 10 list to be the most mindboggling. And, of course, the Hand of God goal will never be forgotten.

As for the evergreen “who was the greatest?” question, I don’t think that either Pele or Maradona were ever as interested in it as everyone else is. Unlike Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, they were not rivals, they didn’t play the same position, and they appear to have had not only respect, but genuine affection for each other.

“Sad news to lose a friend like that. May God give enough strength to his family. For sure, one day we will kick a ball together in Heaven.” – Pele

Perhaps I should offer them Jordanetics

Penguin Random House employees are not happy about publishing Jordan Peterson’s latest offense against coherence, the Christian faith, and the English language:

Several Penguin Random House Canada employees confronted management about the company’s decision to publish a new book by controversial Canadian psychologist Jordan Peterson at an emotional town hall Monday, and dozens more have filed anonymous complaints, according to four workers who spoke to VICE World News. 

On Monday, Penguin Random House Canada, Canada’s largest book publisher and a subsidiary of Penguin Random House, announced it will be publishing Beyond Order: 12 More Rules for Life by Peterson, to be released in March 2021. The book will be published by Portfolio in the U.S. and Penguin Press in the U.K., both part of the Penguin Random House empire. 

Four Penguin Random House Canada employees, who did not want to be named due to concerns over their employment, said the company held a town hall about the book Monday, during which executives defended the decision to publish Peterson while employees cited their concerns about platforming someone who is popular in far-right circles. 

“He is an icon of hate speech and transphobia and the fact that he’s an icon of white supremacy, regardless of the content of his book, I’m not proud to work for a company that publishes him,” a junior employee who is a member of the LGBTQ community and who attended the town hall told VICE World News. 

Another employee said “people were crying in the meeting about how Jordan Peterson has affected their lives.” They said one co-worker discussed how Peterson had radicalized their father and another talked about how publishing the book will negatively affect their non-binary friend. 

I have to admit, I am genuinely curious to learn what sort of morons are going to take seriously anything that the sleepless, tear-stained, drug-addicted occultist says anymore. 

More balance! Less order! Descend into chaos to rise above it! But not meth… definitely not meth! Where are my pills? I NEED MY DAMN PILLS!

UPDATE: The Original Cyberpunk informs us that the great consolidation in publishing continues apace. Formerly the Big Six, the Big Five are now the Big Four.

Breaking publishing industry news: Bertelsmann, owner of Penguin Random House, has just acquired Simon & Schuster. If it was me I’d call the consolidated company Simon & Schuster & Penguins Oh My!, but what this means is that there is now one less major fiction publisher in the world.

What a great day to be independent! I will be vastly amused if my old editor ends up in charge.

Free votes for AZ Democrats

 And, presumably, Creepy Joe Biden. Sidney Powell announces more genuine TESTIMONIAL EVIDENCE of vote fraud in Arizona:

It’s in your face everywhere. The statistical evidence is insurmountable. The mathematical evidence is to a mathematical impossibility. This is no way there was anything but widespread election fraud here. We’ve got one witness that says in Arizona at least there were 35,000 votes added to every Democratic candidate just to start their voting off. It’s like getting your $500 of Monopoly money to begin with when you haven’t done anything. And it was only for Democrats.

It pains me to have to point out to skeptical morons that mathematically-based statistical evidence is court-admissible DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE. Eyewitness testimony is court-admissible TESTIMONIAL EVIDENCE.

If you’re waiting for published peer-reviewed scientific “evidence”, then you are irredeemably stupid and don’t even understand what evidence is. Because scientific “evidence” is not only not legally considered evidence, it is not even directly admissible in court as such. It is only admissible as testimonial evidence through the expert testifying.

In other news, Team Trump continues to exude confidence.

We spoke with a top Trump associate tonight.  This is what we were told… repeatedly…  

“Trump is going to win.”

It’s going to be a good couple of weeks ahead.

Enjoy the ride. Because the ride never ends. 

Personal info released from Parler

Neon Revolt reports that Parler is even worse than skeptics has imagined.

Parler got hacked via a zero-day exploit on… wait for it…

Their app.

Personal info of thousands released into the wild, including private messages.

Color me shocked…. You may recall that I did tell you to stay away from it, like you should from all gatekeepers.

UPDATE: Neon Revolt has retracted. My position on Parler remains unchanged. Do you know what SG requires from its users? An email address. That’s it.

PA ups the ante

It appears the bifactional Establishment has concluded that President Trump is bluffing:

Today @PAStateDept certified the results of the November 3 election in Pennsylvania for president and vice president of the United States. As required by federal law, I’ve signed the Certificate of Ascertainment for the slate of electors for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

– Governor Tom Wolf

As always, wait two days before you even try to start “figuring out what this means”. Either Trump is bluffing or he isn’t. Either he will cross the Rubicon or he won’t. And until then, none of this is conclusive. In the meantime, do try to keep in mind that nothing you do, say, think, or feel is going to affect those future events in the slightest.

Original Backer’s Edition

Now that we’ve ordered the proofs for final approval, there are only a few more days left to either a) order Vols. 1-3 of the Junior Classics hardcovers or b) preorder the 10-volume leather set before we start shipping the former. We have added a special Original Backer logo to the back of every hardcover produced in this first print run, and Original Backer’s Edition is also noted on the title page of each hardcover and leatherbound volume, as shown here. Subsequent print runs will precisely match the Original Backer’s Edition on the bookshelf, but will lack these signifiers.

Note the original artwork by Arkhaven’s Lacey Fairchild, which for Volume Three features the classic Greek tale of Hercules fighting the Hydra. It was our goal to produce the best edition of the Junior Classics to date, in terms of both aesthetics and content, and we are increasingly confident that the production team has managed to do that.

There is no concession

For crying out loud, people really need to stop falling for every single step of the demoralization campaign.

What does GSA being allowed to preliminarily work with the Dems have to do with continuing to pursue our various cases on what will go down as the most corrupt election in American political history? We are moving full speed ahead. Will never concede to fake ballots & “Dominion”. – President Trump

There are two possibilities here. Either Trump is managing the decline and is simply drawing out the process because he is an cruel bastard who wants to troll both his own followers and the Democrats or he understands the GSA release of funds is irrelevant and he wishes to take the pressure off a woman and her family because he sees no need for her to bear it.

Which possibility sounds more like the President Trump you have observed for the last four years?

Just. Be. Patient. There will either be victory or defeat in the end. Wringing your hands and crying about how worried you are probably won’t matter at all, but to the extent it matters, it favors the latter. Get a grip. And remember, once a signal is sent and received, there is no need to keep sending it.

UPDATE: AC has a theory about the GSA approval of the transition funds.

This might be because Democrats were going to call the head of GSA in to testify about this, and Trump may not want her able to be questioned about what she knows.

Meanwhile, Venezuelans have known about the connection between Smartmatic and the CIA for 12 years, because one of Smartmatic’s Venezuelan founders died in the crash of what is believed to have been a CIA plane.

Woven into one small story about a plane crash in Venezuela that killed seven people are visible threads from two perennial American cover-ups:  one surrounding vote fraud,  and one covering-up the CIA’s role in drug trafficking. For anyone interested in the news that gets left out of the newspaper, its’ a Perfect Storm. The Mother of All Scandals.

The downed plane’s relevance to the ongoing story of vote fraud in America involves the identity of it’s passenger, Jose Alfredo Anzola, a 34-year old founder of Smartmatic, a Venezuela-based election company whose American subsidiary counted one in every three votes in the 2004 Presidential election, while engaged the whole time in heated controversy over allegations the firm counting America’s votes had hidden ties to—of all people— Venezuela’s President Hugo Chavez.

The connection between last week’s plane crash and the ongoing saga of CIA Drug trafficking begins with 43-year old Mario Donadi Gafaro, the veteran drug pilot at the controls of the twin engine plane.

This suggests that the computer aspect of U.S. vote fraud has been around longer than anyone except conspiracy theorists imagined. For a deeper dive into the history of Smartmatic, which was founded in Venezuela in 1997, read this article, links to which have been resulting in instabans on Twitter.
