As mentioned earlier, today’s Democrats do not plan to relinquish power once they have gotten their hands on it. As also mentioned earlier, if you like the mess they made of the 2020 election, you will love what they plan to inflict with House bill HR1 and its companion Senate bill S1.

Former Justice Department lawyer J. Christian Adams sums up just how much damage Democrats plan to inflict on the American electoral system:

They are named H.R.1 and S.1 for a reason. The bills are the top priority of the newly empowered Democrats in Congress.

No more registering to vote. Ballots will be mailed out automatically to addresses generated by the bloated and incompetent federal bureaucracy. Excess ballots will be sent all over the place.

States also would be blocked by H.R.1 from signature verification procedures.

You say it is unconstitutional to deny states the right to run elections? No worries:

H.R.1 rigs the system for any lawsuits challenging the constitutionality of the law. All lawsuits can only be filed in one court – federal court in the District of Columbia.

Clearing dead people off the rolls would not benefit the Democratic Party, so:

It prohibits states from conducting list maintenance on the voter rolls.

You need ID for everything else, but after Biden signs this bill, requiring it for voting will be abolished by federal law.

The power grab goes beyond blatantly encouraging and facilitating fraud. It lays the groundwork to disenfranchise states that vote the wrong way:

“Congress can reduce a state’s representation in Congress when the right to vote is denied.” Without qualification or definition, Congress could rely on this sentence unilaterally to cut the number of House members from any state it claims is denying the right to vote.

Similar phony claims are already common. Democrats often use them to deflect investigations into voter fraud. If HR1/S1 passes, investigating voter fraud might get you thrown in jail:

It criminalizes anyone who uses state challenge laws to question the eligibility of registrants wrongly. The penalty is up to one year in prison per instance.

The power grab unsurprisingly encroaches on free speech:

It criminalizes publishing “false statements” about qualifications to vote and “false statements” about which groups have endorsed which candidates.

If making what the authorities determine is a “false statement” about an election can get you thrown in jail, there is a good chance that the election is a charade and that you do not live in a free country.

The bill does away with election day:

Nationwide, states must accept mail ballots on Election Day plus 10 days later.

Al Franken and more recently Joe Biden can tell you how valuable it is to be able to keep counting votes until you get the desired result.

And of course, unlimited ballot harvesting — having a third party “help” to fill in and gather up ballots, then drop them off at a polling station or other designated station — is guaranteed.

If this abomination is imposed, America will officially become a single-party banana republic. Elections will be taken no more seriously than they are in Venezuela.

Leftists totalitarians are convinced that they have it all wrapped up now. They are not worried about backlash, future elections, protests, dissidents, or anything else. If they didn’t think the game is over, Time Magazine — the flagship magazine of the liberal establishment — would not run a nearly 7,000-word piece detailing the left-wing cabal that ensured Biden would win the 2020 election.

As noted at Breitbart,

The New York Times had reported on the effort in January, referring to the “Democracy Defense Coalition.” The Daily Beast hinted at it in the fall. But the Time article is the most in-depth report at what others suggested was going on behind the scenes.

The piece, written by Molly Ball, is entitled “The Secret History of the Shadow Campaign That Saved the 2020 Election.” It is written from the point of view of those who seized power, but it is easy enough to unspin it, although occasional translations into plain English are provided below for the reader’s convenience:

Their work touched every aspect of the election. They got states to change voting systems and laws and helped secure hundreds of millions in public and private funding. They fended off voter-suppression lawsuits, recruited armies of poll workers and got millions of people to vote by mail for the first time.

“Voter suppression” refers to attempts to impede election fraud. Voting by mail is notoriously prone to election fraud.

They successfully pressured social media companies to take a harder line against disinformation and used data-driven strategies to fight viral smears.

“Disinformation” and “smears” are references to facts and opinions that might detract from Biden’s election effort. For example, when the New York Post broke a bombshell story right before the election that implicated Biden in influence peddling to our communist Chinese enemies, Facebook restricted access to it, and Twitter went still further, actually locking the account of America’s oldest continuously published newspaper. Despite being denounced as “disinformation” by the liberal establishment, the NY Post story turned out to be true.

They executed national public-awareness campaigns that helped Americans understand how the vote count would unfold over days or weeks, preventing Trump’s conspiracy theories and false claims of victory from getting more traction.

“Public-awareness campaign” means “propaganda barrage.” Regarding conspiracy theories, Ball admits that Trump was right regarding his suspicion of an “an orchestrated effort to anoint the winner, even while many key states were still being counted.”

Ball also admits that this story…

…sounds like a paranoid fever dream–a well-funded cabal of powerful people, ranging across industries and ideologies, working together behind the scenes to influence perceptions, change rules and laws, steer media coverage and control the flow of information.

However, the fever dream turns out to be real.

The mastermind of the plot was Mike Podhorzer, senior adviser to the president of the AFL-CIO. Where corruption and leftism intersect, there you find Big Unions.

Podhorzer began working from his laptop at his kitchen table, holding back-to-back Zoom meetings for hours a day with his network of contacts across the progressive universe: the labor movement; the institutional left, like Planned Parenthood and Greenpeace; resistance groups like Indivisible and MoveOn; progressive data geeks and strategists, representatives of donors and foundations, state-level grassroots organizers, racial-justice activists and others.

In other words, he brought together many factions of the radical Left.

Protecting the election would require an effort of unprecedented scale. As 2020 progressed, it stretched to Congress, Silicon Valley and the nation’s statehouses.

“Protecting” means “winning by any means necessary.”

The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative chipped in $300 million.

CZI is owned by Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan.

Laura Quinn, a veteran progressive operative … piloted a nameless, secret project, which she has never before publicly discussed, that tracked disinformation online and tried to figure out how to combat it.

Quinn found that it is ineffective to counter “disinformation” with rational argument; that just draws attention to facts you don’t want people to know about.

The solution, she concluded, was to pressure platforms to enforce their rules, both by removing content or accounts that spread disinformation and by more aggressively policing…

Enforcement of these vague rules was on a conspicuously selective basis.

In November 2019, Mark Zuckerberg invited nine civil rights leaders to dinner at his home, where they warned him about the danger of the election-related falsehoods that were already spreading unchecked. “It took pushing, urging, conversations, brainstorming, all of that to get to a place where we ended up with more rigorous rules and enforcement,” says Vanita Gupta, president and CEO of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, who attended the dinner and also met with Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey and others. (Gupta has been nominated for Associate Attorney General by President Biden.)

A woman who took a leadership role in suppressing information prior to the election will be working at a high level in the Justice Department. The next election won’t be any cleaner.

But then, Time wouldn’t be admitting the election was essentially rigged if the ruling oligarchy were not confident that future elections will be rigged still more securely.

The avowed Marxists of Black Lives Matter took time off from their many riots to join the cabal. We all know about the deep reverence communists have for free and fair elections.

Many [Black Lives Matter] organizers were part of Podhorzer’s network, from the activists in battleground states who partnered with the Democracy Defense Coalition to organizations with leading roles in the Movement for Black Lives. …

Black organizers also recruited thousands of poll workers to ensure polling places would stay open in their communities.

This calls to mind the 2008 election, when uniformed New Black Panther thugs wielding batons attempted to frighten Caucasians away from polling places. Charges were dropped by Obama’s Justice Department.

If Trump had prevailed following election day, the cabal was prepared to go to Plan B: street violence.

More than 150 liberal groups, from the Women’s March to the Sierra Club to Color of Change, from Democrats.com to the Democratic Socialists of America, joined the “Protect the Results” coalition. The group’s now defunct website had a map listing 400 planned postelection demonstrations, to be activated via text message as soon as Nov. 4.

The liberal establishment utilizes these maniacal moonbats as necessary, but even otherwise respectable people were involved.

About a week before Election Day, Podhorzer received an unexpected message: the U.S. Chamber of Commerce wanted to talk.

Businessmen sensibly wanted to avoid another wave of the leftist rioting that caused $2 billion in damage last year. Looks like some were willing to collaborate with leftists to ensure peace at any price.

“With tensions running high, there was a lot of concern about unrest around the election, or a breakdown in our normal way we handle contentious elections,” says Neil Bradley, the Chamber’s executive vice president and chief policy officer.

The Capitol Riot was the exception that proves the rule: leftists riot, not conservatives.

Virtually the entire establishment pitched in:

Fox News surprised everyone by calling Arizona for Biden. The public-awareness campaign had worked: TV anchors were bending over backward to counsel caution and frame the vote count accurately.

Fox News bent over backward, all right. It obviously called Arizona prematurely, to Biden’s benefit. Its viewership cratered afterward and may never fully recover.

Here’s why there were no leftist riots on election night, when it seemed likely that Trump would win:

“We wanted to be mindful of when was the right time to call for moving masses of people into the street,” [Angela Peoples of the Democracy Defense Coalition] says. As much as they were eager to mount a show of strength, mobilizing immediately could backfire…

So the word went out: stand down.

Let that sink in. Time Magazine just admitted that the only reason the people who installed Biden did not flood the streets with rioters on election night is that they thought it might backfire.

Read the whole piece (archived here if they take it down). It demonstrates that if leftists succeed in doing to America what they did to Venezuela, it will be because they were united, organized, and relentless. Resistance to them will be crushed if patriots do not show the same qualities.

Maybe the reason the mainstream media won’t tell us what has been happening is that the events of this year are too monumental in their historic importance to wedge into a newscast between updates on Joe Biden’s socks and the scandalous misogyny of not pretending that his wife is a doctor. If so, the alphabet networks ought to run this video; it arguably sums up 2020 in just over a minute:

Looks like it really was easy. But as always with socialists, getting out from under these people will be much more difficult.

Google subsidiary YouTube shocked everyone who believes in the free flow of information with its stated policy of censoring videos deemed to contradict official statements of the CCP-dominated World Health Organization. If that could be topped, this does it:

The platform said that any video containing assertions that the 2020 election outcome was changed by “widespread fraud or errors” would get booted from the site unless “sufficient” context is provided.

The “sufficient context” loophole allows leftist propagandists to reference the massively documented 2020 election fraud in order to deny that it occurred.

Meanwhile, YouTube enjoys special legal protections as a “neutral” platform that does not have a point of view. Belligerently biased Big Tech propaganda platforms (Google, Facebook, Twitter) purchase this status from the corrupt federal government with campaign donations.

Facts that might be censored by YouTube include:

YouTube’s decision to censor content that suggests the election was fraudulently won comes as legal challenges over the election results are still working through the courts. The Trump campaign filed an extensive challenge to Georgia’s election results last week, pointing out enough instances of alleged fraud that the suit could overturn the presidential election in the state.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a lawsuit in the U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday against the battleground states of Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin arguing that the states should be blocked from voting in the electoral college over alleged violations of election law. … President Trump announced on Wednesday morning that the Trump administration would be joining the suit in support of Texas.

You don’t have to be a conservative; anyone with an interest in free and fair elections stands to get whacked with the censorship stick by Big Tech.

Under moonbat rule, we are not allowed to question even the most conspicuously dodgy elections once the preferred candidate has been declared the winner by his supporters. If this reminds you of a banana republic (definition #2), that could be because the Silicon Valley/Liberal Media/Democratic Party axis of evil is turning the USA into one.

No wonder the Fox News viewer base is enraged. Fox had to bring in a crisis management team in part because Chris Wallace’s debate “moderation” was ham-fistedly biased in favor of Joe Biden. Have they learned a lesson and reined in this rampaging moonbat? They have not:

While interviewing [Health and Human Services Secretary Alex] Azar on “Fox News Sunday,” Wallace interrupted Azar when the Health and Human Services secretary referred to Biden as the former vice president. …

“He’s the president-elect, sir,” Wallace interjected, referring to Biden. “He’s the president-elect.”

Refusing to be derailed by Wallace’s partisan sniping, Azar finished his remark on the topic of mask-wearing.

Once Azar had finished talking, however, Wallace chided him again.

“But first of all, it’s the President-Elect Joe Biden, Secretary Azar,” Wallace shot back.

Wallace must know as well as anyone that Joe Biden is not president-elect.

Electors from every state are scheduled to meet on Dec. 14 to officially cast their ballots for president and vice president. Congress will then meet on Jan. 6 to officially count the ballots, finalizing the electoral process.

If Biden has been named the winner at the end of this process, then despite or rather possibly due to rampant Democrat cheating, he will be president-elect. Until then he is not.

Biden himself pledged “not to declare victory until the election is independently certified” during the clown show of a debate presided over by Wallace. He promptly broke the promise.

Why does Wallace interject the president-elect lie so obnoxiously? The purpose is to undermine attempts to challenge the election on the grounds of fraud. The election is over, bark Wallace and colleagues; time to move on. They would like Republicans to concede, raising pressure on Trump to do so himself, before too much is learned about the way the election was conducted.

On a tip from Varla.

The legacy of the late and much lamented Charlie Daniels lives on with a topical cover of “The Devil Went Down to Georgia” that is sure to infuriate moonbats:

It was gracious of the thought police at Google/YouTube not to censor this like they did with the latest video by coronavirus thought criminal Van Morrison. They will let us watch it for now, above a statement reading, “The AP has called the Presidential race for Joe Biden. See more on Google.”

Looks like the left-wing propagandists at Associated Press will be taking over elections after Democrats have abolished the Electoral College, as they may do if the Devil prevails in Georgia in the Senate runoff races.

On a tip from Rapinhoe.

Mark Dice is gagging on the smell the 2020 election gives off:

We may never know who actually won the 2020 election, but it seems obvious that Trump won Georgia, despite the official results.

The Georgia outcome in the presidential election would not overturn the overall result. However, the Senate runoffs in Georgia matter as much as any elections that have ever taken place in this country. If the Democrats prevail, Chuck Schumer et al. will be able to irreversibly “change America” by locking in place single-party rule.

It is unlikely that anyone will put a stop to Democrat cheating before the runoff. To make matters worse, backstabbing embedded Democrat Lin Wood has been pulling out all the stops in his campaign to suppress the Republican vote.

The only hope is a massive turnout by patriotic Georgians that Democrat fraud and dirty tricks cannot overcome.

As touched on previously, most of the election shenanigans in Michigan took place in Wayne County, home of Detroit. Data scientist Sarah Eaglesfield provides an explanation for why this area produced so many votes for Joe Biden. The largest cluster vote in the county was from a psychiatric hospital:

See here for clarification regarding the reference to unhinged moonbat Ned Staebler.

From Eaglesfield’s report on the Wayne County Dataset:

The largest cluster of votes received in Wayne County was from the Walter P. Reuther Psychiatric Hospital, which provides treatment, care and services to adults with severe mental illness. …

Given that the psychiatric facility in question specifically states that it caters for those with severe mental illness it should be investigated what mental capacity these voters had, and whether these ballots were potentially abused. It is my understanding that there is no capacity test for voting in Michigan, although state law allows for one to be applied.

The odds of Democrat Governor Gretchen Whitmer cooperating with measures to prevent people with severe mental illnesses from voting are remote. Democrats probably have more of a lock on this voting block even than they do on felons.

On a tip from Stormfax. Hat tip: 100% Fed Up.

There are limits to how far people will let Democrats push them. Monica Palmer and William C. Hartmann, the two Republican members of Michigan’s Wayne County Board of Canvassers who were bullied into certifying the dubious election, have signed an affidavit rescinding their votes to certify:

Hartmann said in the affidavit that he observed about 71% of Detroit’s 134 Absent Voter Counting Boards “were left unbalanced and many unexplained.” …

The pair said state officials indicated they would not honor an earlier compromise to audit the ballots, which contributed to their decision to rescind. It was unclear if their decision to rescind could change their earlier vote to certify.

Making an agreement with state officials with Gretchen Whitmer in charge was a mistake. Let’s hope they rectified it in time.

The racially premised denunciations and threats against Palmer and Hartmann extended to family members. William M. Davis, a Detroit police commissioner, even threatened the canvassers with “ethics charges,” because he was not about “to sit around and let white people take advantage of black people” by letting them challenge election fraud in Detroit.

Kudos to Palmer and Hartmann for having the courage to rescind their vote when it became clear state officials would not honor their promise to audit the election. Regardless of the overall outcome, pushback matters. Without it, Democrats will cheat even more arrogantly next time around.

Clubbing people with the word “racism” is absurd in a country where whites pretend to be nonwhite to avail themselves of the advantages. Yet it works. It could even help steal an election.

Via Fox News:

Jenna Ellis, a senior legal adviser to the Trump 2020 campaign, told “Fox News @ Night” on Tuesday that the two Republicans on Michigan’s Wayne County Board of Canvassers involved in a brief deadlock in the county’s election certification process faced threats and allegations of racism before they agreed to certify the ballots. …

Ellis told Shannon Bream, the host of the show, that she received reports that these two board members correctly spotted discrepancies and she said the ballot counts in 71% of the county’s precincts do not match voter rolls.

Better you should let democracy degenerate into a sham than someone call you a racist. The equivalent in a primitive society would be a witchdoctor pointing a bone at you.

William Hartmann and Monica Palmer, the canvassers, had been praised by fellow Republicans.

John James, the Republican Senate candidate from the state, who is Black, said he applauded them for their bravery in the face of unbelievable pressure to ignore inconvenient truths that threaten our democracy.

Turns out their bravery may have limits.

Critics said that the decision not to certify these votes was a direct affront on minority communities.

The cities that supposedly tipped the election to Biden have large black populations: Detroit, Philadelphia, Milwaukee, Atlanta. You can see why these cities are key. Put up a fuss about fraud and they can shut you up with one word: racism.

Ned Staebler, the chief executive of TechTown who, according to the New York Times, is a poll challenger at the T.C.F Center in the city, said in a viral Zoom meeting, “The Trump stain, the stain of racism that you, William Hartman and Monica Palmer, have covered yourself in, is going to follow you throughout history.”

In conventional tyrannies, you had to torture people or threaten to murder their loved ones. In the erstwhile Land of the Free, the race card suffices.

[Staebler] said the two would “forever be known in southeastern Michigan as two racists who did something so unprecedented that they disenfranchised hundreds of thousands of Black voters in the city of Detroit.”

So what if the voters might be dead or nonexistent? All that matters is that they must be black if they supposedly voted in Detroit.

In the video below, Staebler demonstrates how to smash election integrity with the race club:

Just because the magic word works all by itself is no reason not to throw in threats to loved ones just for good measure. Presenting Democrat State Representative-Elect Abraham Aiyash:

If we let people like this push through dubious election results by bullying, it won’t be long before voting is so pointless that no one bothers.

It may take years to sort out the blizzard of disinformation regarding this year’s election fraud, but if this quote from Dominion Voting Systems Director of Product Strategy and Security Eric Coomer is accurate, it might explain why Dominion comes up so often in the discussion. Protestia took it from his now-deleted Facebook page:

Facebook friend land- open call-

If you are planning to vote for the autocratic, narcissistic, fascists, as–hat blowhard and his Christian jihadist VP pic, UNFRIEND ME NOW! No, I’m not joking. I’m all for reasoned political discourse and healthy debate- I’m looking at you ( 3 names of friends). I disagree with you three on many philosophical grounds but respect your opinions. Only and absolute F—ING IDIOT could ever vote for that wind-bag f–k-tard FASCIST RACIST F–K! No bulls–t, I don’t give a damn if you’re friend, family, or random acquaintance, pull the lever, mark an oval, touch a screen for that carnival barker—UNFRIEND ME NOW. I have no desire whatsoever to ever interact with you. You are beyond hope, beyond reason. you are controlled by fear, reaction, and bulls–t. Get your s–t together.

Oh, it that doesn’t persuade you, F–K YOU! Seriously, this f–king as–clown stands against everything that makes this country awesome! You want in on that? You deserve nothing but contempt.

We trust people like this to run the news media; why wouldn’t we trust them to count the votes?

Another alarming Coomer quote:

Joe Oltmann, founder of FEC (Faith Education Commerce) United, covertly participating in an Antifa conference call in late September, when the conversation turned to what would be done if Trump wins, heard “Eric the Dominion Guy” say (paraphrased): “Don’t worry about the election, Trump’s not gonna win. I made f–king sure of that!”

Don’t worry, the FBI and investigative journalists from Big Media will get to the bottom of this right away. Just kidding.

On a tip from Josh D.

If Biden’s handlers are able to take power, it will likely be due to systemic fraud targeting a handful of swing states. Libertas Bella does the liberal establishment media’s deliberately neglected work by summarizing the situation:

On Election Night when America went to bed, President Trump had a commanding lead in virtually every swing state, as well as Virginia, which no one expected him to win. However, when America woke up the next day, we found that he’d lost these leads, largely on the basis of mail-in ballots found in the middle of the night and out from under the watchful eye of legal election monitors.

What’s more, these massive caches of votes – almost all of which were for former Vice President Biden – came via large dumps primarily from [Detroit, Milwaukee, Philadelphia, Pittsburg, and Atlanta] in states predominantly run by Democratic governors.

When one looks at the statistical likelihood of the reported turnout, the numbers are so improbable they’re more at home in a one-party state like Saddam Hussein’s Iraq or North Korea.

What’s more, Biden’s victory does not square with the results of the Republican Party nationally: Republicans won 28 of 29 competitive House seats and Democrats were unable to flip a single state legislature. Joe Biden secured a scant three of the so-called “Bellwether Districts” that almost always choose the winner, one of which was in Delaware. Judicial Watch found 353 counties in 29 different states who had higher than 100 percent turnout.…

Evidence of chicanery, irregularities, and outright manipulation have poured in from a variety of states — Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Texas, New Jersey, Nevada, and Arizona.

If the smell of dead rat is so overpowering that it makes you gag, you are probably in the presence of a dead rat.

Red flags that would alert any objective observer that fraud has taken place include:

• Interference with poll watchers

• Mathematical anomalies

• Technical glitches that invariably favored Biden

• Improbable turnout for an unpopular candidate who didn’t bother to campaign

• More votes than registered voters in key districts

• Mail-in ballot shenanigans

• Massive number of Biden-only ballots in strategic states

• Irregularities resulting from Democrat-associated Dominion Voting Systems software

Click through for details. Big Media/Big Tech information gatekeepers will stuff all of this down the memory hole as quickly as they can. Like the characters is Fahrenheit 451 who memorize books, we have a duty to keep disapproved knowledge alive.

We saw this train wreck coming well in advance. Fraud resulting from the massive push for mail-in voting and shifting voting requirements were certain to corrupt the election. But it still came as a surprise that it would be this ubiquitous in contested states. Despite the liberal establishment media’s denial of its existence, there is so much information available on the industrial scale voter fraud that it is hard to sort it all out. As Bill Whittle says,

The scale of the corruption of the American electoral system is so vast that we have to break it down into several pieces and examine them one by one.

Let’s get started with the most conspicuous perpetrators of the fraud, the brazenly mendacious leftist apparatchiks comprising the “mainstream” media:

Joe Biden is not the President-Elect. Every time propagandists say “President-Elect Biden” they are not only lying but attacking our system of government. If Biden becomes President, it will be because he was chosen by the Electoral College through legal means, not by the media in a propaganda blitz.

These people don’t even know what state Kristi Noem governs, yet we are supposed to take their word for it that there is no election fraud and that the formal process of naming the President-Elect is superfluous.
