 Arkhaven is rapidly becoming a must-visit site thanks to the Dark Herald’s daily blogging there:

There were emergency meetings all over Hollywood this weekend and there is no doubt as to why.  Warner Media’s decision to put their entire slate of films for 2020 and 2021 on HBOmax.  While HBOmax has, to put it mildly, underperformed compared to Disney+, Their parent company AT&T can change that instantly. Just by rolling HBONOW into HBOmax and then giving three months free for anyone on one of Ma Bell’s platforms.  The numbers will match Disney’s overnight.  

So why haven’t they?

Two reasons.  First, HBOmax still isn’t on ROKU yet.  And second, there isn’t any reason for people to stay once the free trial is up.  Sure they’ve got a better library than Disney but they don’t have a halo property like The Mandalorian. Dumping the summer tentpoles on HBOmax takes care of those problems.  Look for a relaunch in the spring.

Yes, we’re building something there. No, I won’t tell you what it is. Yes, you can probably guess if you think about it hard enough. Yes, that’s why we haven’t been releasing any comics lately. And no, I won’t tell you the precise timeframe, but Spring 2021 is a reasonable guess.

Even some local sheriffs are in on the steal, but they can’t stop what’s coming.

0902 EST – Local sheriff tried to prevent Flynn forensics team from entering courthouse in Antrim County – but they are now in!

0950 EST – Flynn cyber team has removed Dominion hard drive and is copying, will take 6-8 hours

1230 EST – Antrim County Administrator tries to take pictures and dox forensic team, forced to delete pictures

2300 EST – Flynn Cyber Team Successfully Collected Antrim County, MI Dominion Hard Drive Data…Analysis Tomorrow

Looks like everyone is going to learn that military intelligence is not an oxymoron after all. 

But whether it was the good guys or the bad guys who have it is not yet known:

On the morning of November 5, as the 2020 election hung in the balance, Arizona federal agents raided a two-story house in Fountain Hills, Maricopa County, a county that had become a key battleground in the presidential race. The agents were looking for evidence of a cyberattack on an unnamed organization and stolen voter data. They left with eight hard drives, three computers and a bag of USB sticks. The resident of the property, a 56-year-old IT expert named Elliot Kerwin, was served the warrant. He is not yet facing charges and was unreachable for comment at the time of publication. There is no indication that anything other than voters’ information, which can be acquired for a few hundred dollars in Arizona counties, was taken from the affected office.

The warrant, discovered by Forbes this week, reveals investigators have been looking into a computer intrusion at an unnamed “victim office,” which occurred from October 21 to November 4. At the Kerwin residence, they were looking for any evidence within the seized computers that showed they’d been used to access the IT network at the office, as well as “protected voters’ information” and any indication that it had been disseminated to other people. 

Of the 15 county recorder’s offices contacted by Forbes about the investigation, only one, Maricopa County, confirmed voter data had been stolen, noting that a federal investigation was under way. The Maricopa County Recorder’s office, which is just 30 minutes’ drive south from Kerwin’s home, did not confirm whether or not the investigation was the same as that referred to in the search warrant. 

Still, the fact that it’s coming out now is probably a good sign. I don’t think anyone who is actually looking at the evidence doubts that Trump won, and won handily. Now it’s just a question of summarizing it and getting it out to the mainstream in a manner that they can not only understand, but accept. 

Now that the Dominion servers are in the possession of the Trump team and the algorithm has been broken and is being analyzed, it’s beginning to appear that Biden didn’t just lose, he was absolutely destroyed by the Trumpslide.

Ware County, Ga has broken the Dominion algorithm: Using sequestered Dominion Equipment, Ware County ran a equal number of Trump votes and Biden votes through the Tabulator and the Tabulator reported a 26{6534ce8d8d9c109105c5a2b8c5c8b9d708712d970696104baa8b52bda29579f8} lead for Biden.

37 Trump votes used in the equal sample run had been “Switched” from Trump to Biden.  In actual algorithmic terms this means that a vote for Trump was counted as 87{6534ce8d8d9c109105c5a2b8c5c8b9d708712d970696104baa8b52bda29579f8} of a vote and a vote for Biden was counted as 113{6534ce8d8d9c109105c5a2b8c5c8b9d708712d970696104baa8b52bda29579f8} of a vote.

Those conducting the test were so shocked that they ran the same ballots again.  The same results appeared. ONE PIECE OF THE PUZZLE SOLVED. (It is worth noting that this was one County, and on one Tabulator alone. Dominion Tabulators could have been configured with different algorithms in different Counties or States.) The point is there is now hard evidence of electronic manipulation of the Election.

The use of illegal and/or fabricated ballots is an additional issue altogether, but this is sufficient evidence to question the validity of the ENTIRE Election in the 28 states that used Dominion software.

If this ratio holds up on a nationwide basis, that would mean that Trump won the popular vote 54-46, with a margin of more than 13 million votes.  

• Trump: 74,221,816 x 1.149425287356322 = 85,312,432
• Biden: 81,284,158 x 0.8849557522123894 = 71,932,883

That put the results almost precisely where I predicted they would be before the election, the second-largest landslide since Reagan-Mondale, which was 59-41. Of course, it’s not only possible, it is likely that the Ware County algorithm was less extreme than the algorithms used in the more populous Democratic strongholds like Philadelphia, Wayne, and Fulton Counties.

Also, the fact that Dominion was only used in 28 states is relevant, but I’m not inclined to bother working all of that out at this point because there could be different algorithms utilized in every county in those states. Once we get some idea what the algorithmic range is, we can see about doing a more accurate estimate.

Neon Revolt explains MathAnon’s reverse-engineering of the Dominion vote-flipping algorithm:

MathAnon reverse-engineered the algo Dominion uses to flip the votes, via the use of #VirtualPrecincts!! (And he does it in Starcraft LMAO).

REMEMBER THAT TERM. VIRTUAL PRECINCTS!! I suspect it’s going to be HUGE, very, very soon.

Basically – the Dominion software shoots to have a set ratio split (in this case, in favor of Biden). It can be anything, but it is manually set in order to achieve flipping wherever they deem necessary.

They start by having the organic ballots cordoned off in one set. These remain untouched. The system is then designed to create another set, in order to flip what came in organically.

In other words, it looks at what came in already, and then goes “Hmmm, we need X amount of votes to flip this result, and X amount to make it look organic.”

To make it look more organic, these votes are divvied up between Virtual Precincts, at set ratios.

These new tallies are then added to the real precincts, in order to flip them wherever they’re needed.

Election workers on the ground can be in on the scheme and be used to pad the “official numbers” to meet what’s needed by the programmers, to make the result appear more organic and legitimate (think suitcases in the middle of the night).

This should be quite easy to prove, especially given the fact that Team Trump appears to have access to the original ballot data. It also explains why small numbers of flipped votes are being found in even the smallest counties where there were Dominion machines. The objective was to spread them out so that it looked organic, but the size of Trump’s unexpected lead precluded the planned restraint in the largest Democratic strongholds.

UPDATE: Virtual precincts is why this witness statement is not in error. Far from being a debunking, it supports what actually happened.

An election lawsuit by Sidney Powell, President Donald Trump’s former lawyer, cites a witness who claims to have seen something strange with the votes counted in Michigan’s Edison County. 

Here’s the thing: You can’t point to Edison County on your Michigan hand. And not because it’s in the Upper Peninsula.

Because, well, there is no Edison County in Michigan.

 Mailchimp is banned by Slickstack

Starting immediately, SlickStack has begun warning WordPress sites that have MailChimp software installed that we will begin banning it by default at some point in the near future.

(Note: users are always free to install their own plugin blacklist.txt file, instead of using the default one.)

This is in accordance with our official goals of maximizing free speech and website portability, and helping users to avoid implementing services or extensions that will likely present conflicts later on in their website’s life cycle, esp. regarding stability, security, or portability.

Over the past few years, MailChimp’s “leftist” activism and Orwellian censorship has gotten more and more bold. Among many others who have been arbitrarily banned for political reasons include Stefan Molyneux, March for Trump, VICE founder Gavin McInnes, and Alex Jones, and even a random women’s issues blogger named Emma.

Ironically after Alex Jones was banned, his InfoWars emails are now being powered by the Amazon AWS cloud, meaning that the smaller independent MailChimp is literally just pushing users into Big Tech services instead, or creating totally new IaaS services from the ground up, like Parler, Gab, and many others.

At long last we have the answer to the question of who will watch the watchers. Apparently, smaller independent watchers upon whom the watchers have begun to rely. 

As evidence of fraud is presented at the #ArizonaHearing, the Secretary of State certifies the election.

That’s a bold move, Cotton. We’ll see how it turns out for them. What evidence of fraud? If you’re on SocialGalactic, you may recall that I wrote this one week ago on November 23rd:

Here is the smoking gun. A single example of an internet packet containing election data being transmitted to a server outside the United States. That’s it. That’s all the evidence that is required to blow apart all the skeptics’ denials.

And what came out in the Arizona hearing today? The testimony of one US Army Colonel Phil Waldron,  a cyber security expert.

SpiderFoot reconnaissance” tool tracked Dominion Voting Systems revealing vulnerabilities, volume-metric traffic & webserver coordinates confirming it was connected to the Internet. Packet Traffic was observed from US TO FRANKFURT.

Specifically, to a Scytl server in Frankfurt Germany. Done. Done, demolished, and dusted.

It appears that little post-election update Dominion did on its GA servers might not have been thoroughly tested.

Officials in Fulton County, Georgia, said a Dominion Voting Systems mobile server crashed on Sunday, delaying a recount requested by President Trump.

“Technicians from Dominion have been dispatched to resolve the issue,” Fulton County officials said in a statement reported by WXIA-TV, a local NBC affiliate. “The Georgia Secretary of State’s office has also been alerted to the issue and is aware of efforts to resolve the problem.”

Fulton County officials told the outlet that a newly purchased Dominion mobile server crash was to blame. The Washington Examiner reached out to Dominion for comment.

Dominion, a leading voting machine company whose products are used in several states, has been the focus of voter fraud claims by Trump and his allies. Sidney Powell, an attorney from whom the Trump legal team distanced themselves in recent days, has a federal lawsuit alleging widespread voter fraud in Georgia, and she claims that state officials, including Gov. Brian Kemp, were bribed to be part of a conspiracy with Dominion to tilt the election in President-elect Joe Biden’s favor.

This is devolving into pure comedy now.

UPDATE: It keeps getting better. The server didn’t crash. It’s been reported missing.

President Trump is finally – and correctly – targeting the elimination of Section 230:

Donald Trump today accused Twitter of “conservative discrimination” while once again criticizing how topics trend on the platform.

In a series of tweets, the outgoing president also suggested a law that gives the social media companies a degree of legal immunity against illegal content uploaded by their users—Section 230—should be revoked on grounds of national security.

“Twitter is sending out totally false ‘Trends’ that have absolutely nothing to do with what is really trending in the world,” Trump wrote on Friday. “They make it up, and only negative ‘stuff’. Same thing will happen to Twitter as is happening to @FoxNews daytime. Also, big Conservative discrimination.”

In a second post doubling down on previous threats against the law, he added: “For purposes of National Security, Section 230 must be immediately terminated!!!”

You’ll see some sites like Gab clinging to the idea that Section 230 should be preserved for smaller organizations, but it’s a ridiculous argument. The elimination of Section 230 doesn’t meant that anyone is going to be punished for the actions of their trolls, it just means they’re not going to continue to be able to avoid taking responsibility for their own licensed content.

And it is their own content. Quite literally and legally. Read the fine print of any social media site. If a site doesn’t claim outright ownership of the content, it will at least claim a license to it. For example, this is the license Gab holds for its user content.

By providing any User Contribution on the Website, you grant us and our affiliates and service providers, and each of their and our licensees, successors, and assigns an irrevocable, perpetual, royalty-free right to use, republish, reproduce, modify, perform, display, distribute, and otherwise disclose to third parties any such material for any purpose.

The point is, Gab cannot reasonably disavow any and all responsibility for the content that it licenses in perpetuity, nor should it, or any other social media company, be able to do so.

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.
