How does this hurt, exactly?

 The media is getting desperate if they think that this recorded phone call does anything but prove President Trump’s point:

During the call, Raffensperger and a general counsel from his office refuted Trump’s questioning of the vote tally, informing the president that the election was secure and that his allegations of widespread voter fraud throughout the state were false.

Trump, unhappy with the direction of the conversation, tried to shift the conversation by questioning the veracity of the overall vote tally.

“The people of Georgia are angry, the people in the country are angry,” the president said. “And there’s nothing wrong with saying, you know, um, that you’ve recalculated.”

Raffensperger replied: “Well, Mr. President, the challenge that you have is, the data you have is wrong.”

Later in the conversation, Trump asked Raffensperger for help closing his statewide vote deficit.

“All I want to do is this … I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have,” he said. “Because we won the state.”

During the call, Trump, who for months has alleged that mysterious ballots were added to official tallies and targeted Dominion Voting machines that were used in Georgia, refused to let go of the belief that he could somehow change the results.

“There’s no way I lost Georgia,” Trump repeatedly said throughout the call. “There’s no way. We won by hundreds of thousands of votes.”

Someone was wrong, no question. And we know, beyond any shadow of a doubt, that it wasn’t President Trump. And the public release of the call should help convince the President that there is no way he’s going to convince the fraudsters to surrender without showing the public the complete corruption of the system.

There are those who simply don’t understand that many reasonable men are very reluctant to resort to force if they don’t believe it should be necessary. They mistake this reluctance for weakness. And Trump has tried to reason with these people. He’s tried to point out to them that they aren’t going to get away with it. He’s probably tried to negotiate with them.

But some people only understand force. And that is something that the reasonable man has to learn to accept, however begrudgingly.

UPDATE: Jack Posobiec certainly appears to be anticipating good news.

17 days have begun. This week is going to be like nothing we’ve ever seen and will define our country for years to come.


The Nashville bomb

Pretty much everyone agrees that the bomb at the AT&T building is most likely somehow related to the post-election conflict. Some see it as a successful attack on the NSA’s cybersecurity infrastructure, other rumors suggest that it was a failed attack that was interrupted. Either way, the bombing, combined with the shootings in Miami, Texas, and Portland, appear to suggest that the anti-Trump forces are getting increasingly desperate as the Trump team proceeds with its operations.

The mayor of Nashville’s reaction was certainly strange. He looks and sounds relieved, as well as inappropriately amused by the bombing.

This is not a bad time to make sure that you’ve got two weeks of supplies prepared and on-hand, and to minimize your public exposure. War is already being waged inside the United States, and because it is being fought by a wide spectrum of means by an unknown number of allied factions on both sides, it’s very difficult to know where the hot zones are.


Conspiracy theorists conspire

But it’s not conspiracy theory when The New York Times is theorizing about conspiracies to impose martial law, you see. Anyhow, at this point, no one can possibly say they weren’t warned.

President Trump on Friday discussed naming Sidney Powell, who as a lawyer for his campaign team unleashed conspiracy theories about a Venezuelan plot to rig voting machines in the United States, to be a special counsel overseeing an investigation of voter fraud, according to two people briefed on the discussion.

It was unclear if Mr. Trump will move ahead with such a plan.

Most of his advisers opposed the idea, two of the people briefed on the discussion said, including Rudolph W. Giuliani, the president’s personal lawyer. In recent days Mr. Giuliani has sought to have the Department of Homeland Security join the campaign’s efforts to overturn Mr. Trump’s loss in the election.

Mr. Giuliani joined the discussion by phone initially, while Ms. Powell was at the White House for a meeting that became raucous and involved people shouting at each other at times, according to one of the people briefed on what took place.

Ms. Powell’s client, retired Lt. Gen. Michael T. Flynn, the former national security adviser whom the president recently pardoned, was also there, two of the people briefed on the meeting said. Some senior administration officials drifted in and out of the meeting.

During an appearance on the conservative Newsmax channel this week, Mr. Flynn pushed for Mr. Trump to impose martial law and deploy the military to “rerun” the election. At one point in the meeting on Friday, Mr. Trump asked about that idea.

Ms. Powell’s ideas were shot down by every other Trump adviser present, all of whom repeatedly pointed out that she had yet to back up her claims with proof. 

I wouldn’t take the reported details at all seriously, except for the apparent fact that Trump is meeting directly with Flynn and Powell. By the time the President finally takes action, it will come as a relief to many who would initially have been horrified. But remember, there is no need for anything conclusive to be done before January 20.


Will be wild!

President Trump calls upon the American people:

Peter Navarro releases 36-page report alleging election fraud ‘more than sufficient’ to swing victory to Trump. A great report by Peter. Statistically impossible to have lost the 2020 Election. Big protest in D.C. on January 6th. Be there, will be wild!

Interesting that President Trump should mention a specific date. He’s also specifically mentioned the need to fight.

Republican Senators have to get tougher, or you won’t have a Republican Party anymore. We won the Presidential Election, by a lot. FIGHT FOR IT. Don’t let them take it away! 

This does not sound like a man intending to concede anything, or humbly accede to the lies of his enemies. It’s in keeping with his character to allow people every possible opportunity to do the right thing, so I would not expect any direct action until after the House and Senate fail him too.

In not-unrelated news:

  • Patrick Byrne: On election night in the United States, bandwidth between the United States and Frankfurt Germany reached a new record:  DE-CIX Frankfurt hits 10 Tbps peak traffic – DE-CIX 
  • Dr. Keshavarz-Nia: Results were forwarded to servers located in Frankfurt, Germany.
  • Col. Phil Waldron: We observed packet traffic going to a server in Frankfurt, Germany.
You may recall what I said would be the smoking gun nearly one month ago.


Which important order is that?

Tweet from Secretary Pompeo, official US twitter account, Secretary of State:
“There is no clash between Secretary Steven Mnuchin and me. We are simply working to resolve interagency mechanics of an important executive order.”
Tweet from Secretary Mnuchin:
“There is no disagreement between Secretary Pompeo and me regarding the implementation of the President’s Executive Order. We are coordinating closely on an interagency basis.”

So, about that “transition”

There isn’t going to be any transition, for the obvious reason that a) Biden lost, and, b) Biden is one of dozens of politicians who have been corrupted by foreign funding.

Axios’ Jonathan Swan reports a bombshell potential major disruption in a key part of the presidential transition before President-Elect Joe Biden is sworn in on January 20: the Pentagon has without warning or explanation halted Biden’s intelligence transition briefings.

Reports Swan: “Acting Defense Secretary Chris Miller ordered a Pentagon-wide halt to cooperation with the transition of President-elect Biden, shocking officials across the Defense Department, senior administration officials tell Axios.”

Biden’s team has so far maintained that it’s unaware of the directive while Pentagon officials are said to be stunned and in the dark: “Administration officials left open the possibility cooperation would resume after a holiday pause,” the breaking Axios report notes. “The officials were unsure what prompted Miller’s action, or whether President Trump approved.”

This is just the first step that is obvious to the public. There will be more, until it finally becomes obvious to the media that Biden will not be allowed anywhere near the White House. 


CodeMonkeyZ contemplates the river-crossing

This Twitter thread strikes me as a repetition of what has been obvious for over a month, but since I am told what I consider obvious is often considered nothing of the sort, I’ll post it here.

Trump is about to make the biggest decision of his presidency. Let me explain.

Julius Caesar was enormously popular and commanding an army of fiercely loyal soldiers. The Roman swamp wanted nothing to do with him and in January 49BC the Roman Senate ordered Julius Caesar to disband his army and return home or become an “Enemy of the State”. Julius Caesar, with the popular support of the Roman populace, and the loyalty of the military, marched his army over the Rubicon river in the North of Italy and became a LEGEND in history.

Donald Trump is enormously popular and commanding an army of fiercely loyal soldiers. The US swamp wants nothing to do with him. Election infrastructure was allegedly attacked and he now has his back to the wall. The courts have failed him. His own political party has failed him.

Trump still has immensely popular support within the US populace, and the fierce loyalty of the military. Trump has EO13848 which allows him to take drastic measures and could potentially be used to restore the Republic.

Does Trump utilize EO13848 and become a LEGEND in history?

OR

Does Trump submit his family to the mercy of the incoming administration who will be hellbent on making an example of them?

I don’t know if CodeMonkeyZ knows something in particular or just enjoys explaining the historical analogy on an audience that is unfamiliar with it, but I am not aware of any reason that President Trump needs to do anything until the middle of next month. That being said, #crosstherubicon has been the #1 trending hashtag on SG2 since early November. It’s what Americans want him to do. No, it’s more than that, it’s what Americans are demanding, in light of the unprecedented electoral fraud.

Anyhow, the only opinion that matters is President Trump’s. He has stated, repeatedly and clearly, that he will do his duty to the country and the Constitution. And perhaps more importantly, he has shown absolutely no sign of bowing before the manufactured social pressure of the corrupted institutions.


Unrestricted war in action

I don’t think anyone is slow-rolling the intelligence reports. The problem is more likely that the ongoing hacks are bringing more clarity and providing more context every day. Kevin McCullough reports on Twitter:

BREAKING: It appears that China’s attempt to interfere in the elections of 2020, was so intense that it may take a bit longer to codify and report on. Significant since they are so close to the Biden’s, the left, & Dominion.

Keep in mind this was all laid out by a pair of extraordinary Chinese army strategists, Qiao Lang and Wang Xiangsui, more than 20 years ago. From Unrestricted Warfare:

In a world of unprecedented complexity, the form and the scope of application of means is also in a state of continuous change, and a better means used alone will have no advantage over several means used in combination. Thus, supra-means combinations are becoming extremely necessary…. During a war between two countries, during the fighting and killing by two armies, is it necessary to use special means to wage psychological war aimed at soldiers’ families far back in the rear area? When protecting a country’s financial security, can assassination be used to deal with financial speculators? Can “surgical” strikes be made without a declaration of war against areas which are sources of drugs or other smuggled goods? Can special funds be set up to exert greater influence on another country’s government and legislature through lobbying? And could buying or gaining control of stocks be used to turn another country’s newspapers and television stations into the tools of media warfare?

Apart from the justifiability of the use of the means, that is, whether or not they conform to generally recognized rules of morality, another point in common among the above questions is that they all touch on the use of means in a supra-national, supra-domain way. They are also issues in what we are talking about when we say “supra-means combinations.”

President Trump is not exaggerating when he says the election fraud is a national security issue. The current situation goes well beyond a Constitutional or election crisis.


War by other means

Specifically, financial. These pictures of 20 governors with active ties to China demonstrate how Chinese strategists are effectively applying the financial aspect of comprehensive warfare against the United States.

Financial war is a form of non-military warfare which is just as terribly destructive as a bloody war, but in which no blood is actually shed. Financial warfare has now officially come to war’s center stage—a stage that for thousands of years has been occupied only by soldiers and weapons, with blood and death everywhere. We believe that before long, “financial warfare” will undoubtedly be an entry in the various types of dictionaries of official military jargon. Moreover, when people revise the history books on twentieth-century warfare in the early 21st century, the section on financial warfare will command the reader’s utmost attention.

One last warning

The President puts the state fraudsters on final notice as December 14 approaches:

Swing States that have found massive VOTER FRAUD, which is all of them, CANNOT LEGALLY CERTIFY these votes as complete & correct without committing a severely punishable crime. Everybody knows that dead people, below age people, illegal immigrants, fake signatures, prisoners, and many others voted illegally. Also, machine “glitches” (another word for FRAUD), ballot harvesting, non-resident voters, fake ballots, “stuffing the ballot box”, votes for pay, roughed up Republican Poll Watchers, and sometimes even more votes than people voting, took place in Detroit, Philadelphia, Milwaukee, Atlanta, Pittsburgh, and elsewhere. In all Swing State cases, there are far more votes than are necessary to win the State, and the Election itself. Therefore, VOTES CANNOT BE CERTIFIED. THIS ELECTION IS UNDER PROTEST!

You can almost see their smug expressions as they sneer “so what are you going to do about it?” I tend to suspect the answer will be a very big surprise.

And there is more:

Speaker 11: You know that it’s tradition for previous president’s to go to the next president’s inauguration. So will you attend Joe Biden’s?

President Trump: I don’t want to say that yet.

Speaker 11: But he is going to be inaugurated.

President Trump: I mean, I know the answer. I’ll be honest. I know the answer, but I just don’t want to say it yet.

Speaker 11: Is that a yes?

President Trump: Look. A thing like this possibly has never happened before, but maybe people just didn’t catch it. But we’ve caught it.

Sounds a lot more like a no, doesn’t it?
