The Prima Facie Case for Fraud Republicans must win in the court of public opinion by presenting the glaring, prima facie irregularities of the 2020 election cycle for the entire nation to see. By Peter D’Abrosca

https://amgreatness.com/2020/12/04/the-prima-facie-case-for-fraud/

Over the past month, thousands of detailed voter fraud claims have stemmed from the contested November 3 presidential election.

Americans are discussing the intricacies of software algorithms used by the now-infamous Dominion Voting Systems. There has been scrutiny of the insecure chain of custody of mail-in ballots and the signature verification process for those ballots. In several cases, the poll-watching that normally regulates vote tallying appears to have excluded Republicans. There’s plenty of evidence that Joe Biden secured the reliably Democratic necromancers’ union vote, and that unregistered voters and felons voted illegally. Postal workers have come forward claiming they were told to backdate ballots if ballots were postmarked after Election Day.

But while many complex pieces of evidence outlined in sworn affidavits and presented by lawyers are certainly necessary for the court battles that lie ahead, the court of public opinion is perhaps a more important battleground.

If the public at large thinks that Republican claims of voter fraud are, in the parlance of our times, malarkey, the courts will be less likely to hear Republicans’ cases or rule in Republicans’ favor. Bucking the public sentiment is not easy, even for judges who have sworn to remain impartial and rule in a manner consistent with facts. 

President Trump senses this. It’s why he described the need for a “brave judge, or justice” to hear his cases.

So instead of getting lost in the minutia, it might work in Republicans’ favor, especially in the court of public opinion, to harp on the prima facie case for voter fraud.

On that front, the obvious place to start is with Joe Biden’s vote total—supposedly a whopping 80 million. It’s a staggering number and one that could be called “unbelievable,” in the true sense of that word.

An Anti-Semite Asks and Is Answered: Is Israel Racist? Thought crimes are nobody’s business in free societies. By Ilana Mercer

https://amgreatness.com/2020/12/04/an-anti-semite-asks-and-is-answered-is-israel-racist/

Some months ago, a gentleman who pens anti-Semitic tracts approached me for an interview. I agreed. Being a naïve methodological individualist, I never generalize about individuals. That my interlocutor writes crude anti-Semitic boilerplate did not mean I would not give him a chance to reveal himself as someone other than a crude anti-Semite. 

After I had already answered his written questions in full, however, he bailed. 

Here, then, is my reply to one of many loaded and leading questions I was asked and had answered in good faith. 

A leading question is one that suggests an answer. Since I am Jewish, I was considered a priori guilty. Of what? Well, you know: “nudge nudge, wink wink, say no more,” as goes the Monty Python skit.

In his case, the fact that I married gentiles twice was not enough to clear me from charges of “Jewish supremacy.” I was pelted with uncouth, inappropriate, bias-confirming questions such as, “Do you think that marrying a non-Jew was a mistake and you should only marry another Jew?” 

One of the less flighty questions was, “Do you believe Israel is a racist state?” 

I’ve been deconstructing the construct of racism in my latest American Greatness columns, showing analytically that, at worst, racism is a worldview, a state of mind—often spoken or written, and entirely the prerogative of a free people, just so long as no corporeal aggression is committed.  

Democrats’ defense of Georgia election fraud video doesn’t hold water By Andrea Widburg

https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2020/12/democrats_defense_of_georgia_election_fraud_video_doesnt_hold_water.html

Immediately after the story broke about the video showing workers at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta counting ballots after poll observers had apparently been asked to leave, a purported news site sprang into action to “fact check” the report. While the “fact check” gave room to Democrat operatives to cover their derrieres, the counter-narrative was ludicrous. Additionally, new evidence about vote spikes and two of the vote counters behaving suspiciously gave even more credence to Republicans’ take on the surveillance video.

The video that galvanized so many people showed a large room in which poll observers were completely cordoned off from any meaningful observation. Shortly before 10:00 p.m., one of the poll workers – a black woman with eye-catching long, blond braids, approached the observers and, not long after that, with apparent reluctance, the observers filed away, vacating the room a little before 11 p.m.

At 11:00, with the room ostensibly shut down and the observers gone, the remaining poll workers suddenly sprang into action, dragging rolling suitcases out from under a table. They took ballots out of those suitcases and spent the next two hours scanning them, at a rate of about 3,000 ballots per hour per scanner.

If you go here, you can see several sharpened photographs showing what was going on.

NeverTrump Republicans disgrace themselves more every day By Pamela Garber

https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2020/12/nevertrump_republicans_disgrace_themselves_more_every_day.html

The GOP could hold a fundraiser by having a contest for the most condemning anti-Trump quote.  My personal favorite of the moment is by National Review editor Rich Lowry:

Mr. Trump’s central failing as president has been his inability to distinguish between his personal interest and the public interest. No president in memory has made less of an effort to allow the institution of the presidency to shape him and to conform to the constraints it imposes.

Problem is, We the People may never be allowed to hold fundraisers again — not without approval.  Some fundraisers are more equal than others.  The other problem is that the quote is unintentionally complimentary.  President Trump was elected to be himself, as is — no “reshaping.”

Warrior Writers

Oh, noteworthy writers writing noteworthy writings.  You demonize Sidney Powell and Lin Wood.  You mock our president.  You think you are woefully wise interpreters of mediocrity as a so-called ill informed crowd stands up for the truth at a rally.  The Georgia evidence of a suitcase under the table means nothing; neither does the ownership of the very voting machines relied on for our supposed free and fair election.  To sum up your well read musings, the steady erosion of our freedom means nothing to you and your ilk.  President Trump’s demeanor is still your number-one political cause.  Now he’s not conceding correctly — not in the Miss Manners McCain way of all the better mannered men that make up the real Republican Party.

Does a surveillance video prove Georgia election fraud? By Andrea Widburg

https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2020/12/does_a_surveillance_video_prove_georgia_election_fraud.html

Georgia’s Fulton County, the most populous in the state, claimed that it needed to stop absentee ballot overnight on November 3–4 because of a burst pipe.  That was a lie.  There was no burst pipe, and the counting didn’t stop.  At a hearing on Thursday, surveillance footage emerged showing that the ballots being secretly counted came from suitcases hidden under a table.

Here’s what seems to have happened: in Fulton County, Georgia, the people who planned to add fake ballots to Biden’s vote count on election night had an overall good plan.  First, announce that a burst pipe required everybody to vacate the building until morning, and, second, count fake votes.

The planners missed two details.  First, they forgot to make sure the government’s documents supported the “burst pipe” narrative.  Text messages emerged showing that nothing had burst.  Instead, there was a quickly contained slow leak that didn’t even generate a work order.

Second, they forgot that the State Farm Arena, where the counting took place, has surveillance cameras all over.  On Wednesday, intrepid volunteers obtained the videos from the surveillance cameras in the room in which the count took place and, by doing so, may have discovered the election fraud smoking gun.

The Great Reset and Klaus Schwab By David Solway

https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2020/12/the_great_reset_and_klaus_schwab.html

The time has come to implement the Great Reject before we experience the Great Regret.

Klaus Schwab, the chief proponent of a global project called the “Great Reset,” may be the most influential “intellectual” in the world today. A former member of the UN Advisory Board on Sustainable Development, he is the founder of the World Economic Forum (WEF) that meets annually in the Swiss resort town of Davos. Business Insider explains, “Each year, business leaders and heads of state give lectures and speak on panels about topics ranging from gender equality and venture capital to mental health and climate change.” And as the WEF website states, “The non-profit organization’s aim is to engage the foremost political, business, cultural and other leaders of society to shape global, regional and industry agendas.”

The “Great Reset,” a term coined in a 2011 book by economist Richard Florida and wholeheartedly adopted by Schwab in the context of the United Nation’s Agenda 2030 for sustainable development, proposes to determine “the future state of global relations, the direction of national economies, the priorities of societies, the nature of business models and the management of the global commons.” It presents itself as a humane and compassionate means to inaugurate a beneficial root-and-branch transformation of the social, economic and political structure of the world’s “operating systems”: capitalism, the free market and democracy.

Practical capitalism is to be supplanted by what Schwab calls “stakeholder capitalism” in which the private sector is tightly controlled by government (otherwise known as “fascism”). The free market is considered unfair and skewed to the advantage of a piratical business class exploiting the world’s poor and hungry. Democracy is regarded as an inefficient political arrangement relying on the incapacity of the demos to understand its own best interests or to command the intricacy of integrated governing structures and processes.

I’m a Legislator in Pennsylvania, and I’m Suing the Governor for Election Fraud By Frank Ryan *****

https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2020/12/im_a_legislator_in_pennsylvania_and_im_suing_the_governor_for_election_fraud.html

Actions by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court and secretary of state in the 2020 general election were so fraught with inconsistencies, documented irregularities, and improprieties (see filing below) that the election results for the office of president of the United States cannot be determined.  The actions were so flagrant and egregious that I am a plaintiff in a case in the Commonwealth Court against Gov. Tom Wolf, et al. to seek relief.

The flawed processes associated with mail-in balloting, pre-canvassing, and canvassing have so undermined the election that only the in-person Election Day results have any semblance of validity.  Because the mail-in process was so fatally flawed, the results cannot be audited, which may have been the governor’s objective when he acted unilaterally to replace voting machines last year and demanded certain election reforms.

In any business or organization, internal controls are designed to deter wrongdoing.  Likewise, elections require reasonable controls to ensure that the results accurately reflect the will of the voters.  The system of controls over voting in Pennsylvania’s 2020 General Election were so deficient as to render the results of the mail-in ballot process incapable of being relied upon.  Therefore, the Legislature, of which I am a member, introduced a resolution declaring the results of statewide electoral contests in the 2020 general election in dispute.

Several actions led up to this.  In September, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court overreached by extending the deadline for mail-in ballots to be received and mandating that ballots mailed without a postmark would be presumed to be received on time and could be accepted without a verified voter signature.

On Oct. 23, less than two weeks before the Nov. 3 general election, and at the request of the secretary of the commonwealth, the state Supreme Court ruled that signatures for mail-in ballots need not be authenticated, thereby treating in-person and mail-in voters dissimilarly and eliminating a critical safeguard against election crime.  In the same order, the court authorized the use of drop boxes for the collection of ballots, leaving them vulnerable to ballot-harvesting.

PAUSING FOR THOUGHT-

If there was any doubt that a return to ill-fated “Iran Deal” would spark almost immediate conflict in the Middle East, it was extinguished last week.

Accounts vary as to how Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, the godfather of the Iranian bomb, was assassinated. One Iranian account claimed that he was killed by a remote controlled pick-up truck armed with a gatling gun. Others suggest it was conducted by as many as sixty highly trained operatives.

One thing, though, is for certain. This was a state-conducted assassination that only a handful of countries could have executed.

It is no surprise that responsibility for the attack was swiftly ascribed to Israel’s Mossad. It had what criminologists call the categorical trinity: motive, means, and opportunity.

In a sense, it would be hardly surprising for Israel — if confronted with an opportunity — to launch such an attack.

Fakhrizadeh was central to Iran’s nuclear strategy — a plan to build a bomb with one target in mind: Israel. Prime Minister Netanyahu called him out by name in a press conference two years ago. Removing Fakhrizadeh constitutes a major disruption for the Ayatollahs nuclear strategy and the existential danger it poses for the world’s only Jewish state, and one painfully aware that threats of genocide can become reality.

Israel recognises what the Iranian bomb is — a singular threat to its continued survival. It would not take more than a few such bombs to entirely eradicate its people. Iran’s pathological, feverish, dogmatic hatred of Israel means no eventuality can be excluded.

For Israel then, eliminating Fakhrizadeh was not then a matter of mere geostrategy but survival.

The Left Steals Elections and Countries One Vote at a Time Daniel Greenfield

https://www.frontpagemag.com/point/2020/12/left-steals-elections-and-countries-o

Let’s pull back a bit and talk about how the Left does things. 

The American Left of the last two generations is highly technocratic. It’s the product of a managerial class, in government and business, injected into the non-profit sector, fused in the last generation with the tech sector and its start-up culture. 

It’s evil and its members have a tendency toward hysteria and a blithe ignorance of consequences, but it’s not dumb.

Some of the richest men in America, including Warren Buffett, George Soros, and Bill Gates, can be called many things, but stupid isn’t one of them.

All of this means that the current Left executes strategies in a more focused and strategic manner than past generations. We’re well past the stage where it merely inflitrates. It’s been on the ground floor for a while now. It develops strategies in committees across different organizations, uses a start-up culture to audition and pick different approaches, with funders, often from the tech world, investing in various strategies and organizations being pitched to them.

Conservatives have tried to duplicate this to some degree, but have a fraction of the infrastructure and the organization.

Are the 1,000 Chinese Science Spies Who Fled Trump Crackdown Waiting for Beijing Biden? Daniel Greenfield

https://www.frontpagemag.com/point/2020/12/are-1000-chinese-science-spies-who-fled-trump-daniel-greenfield/

Don’t worry. They’ve got their return trip tickets ready and waiting in case ‘Beijing Biden’ ends up in the White House.

A top Justice Department official said more than 1,000 foreign researchers affiliated with the Chinese military left the United States following a crackdown this summer that resulted in half a dozen members of China’s People’s Liberation Army studying in the U.S. being arrested and charged with lying on their student visa applications.

They include the nice sorts of folks who were researching how to rob our country of all its secrets.

One researcher was under orders to study the exact layout of a medical lab in order to replicate it in China, federal agents alleged. Another stole software code that his adviser at the University of Virginia had developed over two decades, the government alleged.

After the Chinese government became aware of the FBI interest in these individuals, Chinese diplomats quickly warned Chinese researchers about the FBI probe and urged them to wipe clean their electronic devices and social media chats, he said.
