HOW DID IT HAPPEN? THE McCARRICK SCANDAL???

How McCarrick Got Away

How did it happen? That’s the question the McCarrick Report was supposed to answer. How many of the bishops knew about his beach house? Who turned a blind eye? Who lied to protect one of their own?

Nobody expected the Report to answer those questions, and so nobody will be disappointed. Still, it was revealing.

The McCarrick Report drives home one detail that many of us forgot: there never really was a “smoking gun.” There was no hard evidence of sexual assault. Hardly anyone was willing to come forward and testify to McCarrick’s misdeeds. There were rumors, of course, and lots of them. But the Vatican is not in the habit of defrocking priests (let alone bishops) over rumors.

McCarrick knew that, and he used it to his advantage. In 1993, an anonymous letter began circulating among the U.S. bishops warning that McCarrick—then Archbishop of Newark—was seducing seminarians. In response, Archbishop McCarrick wrote a smug letter to the Vatican, saying: “You might want to know that I have shared [the letter] with some of our friends in the FBI to see if we can find out who is writing it.”

So, nobody had any real dirt on McCarrick, and anyone who spoke against him was threatened with legal action.ADVERTISEMENT – CONTINUE READING BELOW

The first person to openly accuse McCarrick only came forward in 2005, and his was a difficult case. This victim, whom the Report refers to as “Priest 1,” only spilled the beans when he himself was found abusing young boys. According to his testimony, Priest 1 said:

I met with Bishop Hughes in his office and I just told him that I had done some things that I’m not proud about. I allowed myself to get involved with two minors. I started crying and apologizing. And I just said that, you know, I need some help. And then, as my tears were coming out, I said, you know, I just, there’s certain things that I can’t get off my chest, and can’t forget in my mind, and that goes back to the times that I’ve experienced sexual abuse with Bishop McCarrick and what took place with him and the surroundings with him and other priests.

The Vatican treated Priest 1 as an unreliable witness—not only because he was a predator, but also because he claimed the abuse took place twenty years prior. How could anyone prove anything?ADVERTISEMENT – CONTINUE READING BELOW

When Pope Francis finally brought McCarrick down in 2018, it was on the flimsiest circumstantial evidence. McCarrick’s final descent was precipitated by a New York Times report saying that he’d molested the teenaged son of a family friend in the 1980s. They were, by far, the oldest allegations against him. They were also uncorroborated—unlike the beach house incidents, which were semi-public. They also didn’t fit his modus operandi: McCarrick was known to prefer muscular men in their mid-twenties, not little boys.

The Times story broke in July of 2018. In February of 2019, a canonical court laicized McCarrick. He wasn’t even allowed to testify at his own trial.

McCarrick is guilty as sin, of course. But the Vatican had to be far more arbitrary in punishing him than (for instance) an American court would have been. It’s all right and good that Rome has more freedom to act; after all, the Church is a divine-right monarchy. But, again, the evidence against McCarrick was flimsy. He was nothing if not devious. In the end, Pope Francis set a lower standard for proof of guilt—much lower than you or I would care to be tried by. In the end, that was the only way they could bring him down.ADVERTISEMENT – CONTINUE READING BELOW

❧

The looming question, then, is this: How did McCarrick become so powerful in the first place? Alas, it seems that a great deal of the blame lies with Pope John Paul II.

Early in the year 2000, John Paul had to begin planning for the imminent retirement of James Cardinal Hickey, the Archbishop of Washington. John Cardinal O’Connor, then Archbishop of New York, presented His Holiness with a list of possible candidates in order of suitability. McCarrick’s name was sixteenth from the top. John Paul had twice passed over McCarrick for promotion, once to Chicago in 1997 and once to New York in 1999 (O’Connor himself had been looking for a successor). Cardinal O’Connor repeated his concerns about McCarrick, reminding the Pope that he was widely believed to be a sexual predator.

McCarrick caught wind that O’Connor was whispering against him and wrote a letter to John Paul’s secretary, Bishop Stanisław Dziwisz. “In the seventy years of my life,” wrote McCarrick, “I have never had sexual relations with any person, male or female, young or old, cleric or lay, nor have I ever abused another person or treated them with disrespect.” John Paul apparently took him at his word and appointed him Archbishop of Washington; a few months later, he named him a cardinal.

From that point on, McCarrick was ex officio one of the most powerful and influential prelates in the American Church. Because of John Paul’s extraordinary failure in judgment, it become infinitely more difficult to bring McCarrick down—especially on rumor alone.

Since the McCarrick Report was released on Tuesday, a number of respected Catholic journalists—particularly George Weigel and Robert Moynihan—have accused Francis of throwing John Paul under the bus. To be sure, the Report shows that our Holy Father is only too eager to pass the blame on McCarrick. (More on that later.) I’m sorry, but John Paul made a terrible decision by elevating McCarrick.

We can’t ignore the fact that McCarrick’s rise to power took place almost entirely under John Paul’s watch. We can’t just say, “John Paul II was deceived by McCarrick’s prevarication,” and be done with it—not unless we’re willing to similarly absolve every other priest, bishop, and pope who heard the rumors about McCarrick but chose not to act on them.

❧

Of course, we can’t lay the blame entirely on John Paul’s shoulders, either.

Benedict XVI succeeded John Paul in 2005. The Report suggests that he had no prior knowledge of McCarrick’s alleged misconduct. Rather, “At the beginning of the papacy of Benedict XVI, the information received by the Holy See related to McCarrick’s misconduct was generally similar to the information that had been available to John Paul II at the time of the appointment to Washington.” That seems doubtful. Benedict served as prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith from 1981 until his election as pope. It’s hard to believe there was any rumor in the Vatican to which he wasn’t privy.

Regardless, on the advice of his nuncio, Benedict extended McCarrick’s tenure as Archbishop of Washington for two years. That was obviously a mistake, and one that Benedict quickly came to regret.

Between 2006 and 2008, Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò—then working for the Vatican’s Secretariat of State in Rome—wrote two memos raising the problem of McCarrick’s abuses. Here, the McCarrick Report corroborates Viganò’s famous 2018 “testimony.”

In 2006, Pope Benedict charged Giovanni Cardinal Re, prefect for the Congregation for Bishops, to pressure McCarrick into withdrawing from public ministry. Over the next two years, the men clashed as McCarrick refused to go quietly into retirement. In 2008, Cardinal Re ordered McCarrick to (among other things) leave his residence in the Redemptoris Mater seminary in the Archdiocese of Washington and abandon all future domestic and international travel. As Cardinal Re wrote in a June 14 letter,

Your Eminence’s frequent public appearances at gatherings, some of which are reported in the media, causes others to recall yet again the old accusations and contributes to their being even more widely known.

As I have already said to you in the past, such a negative campaign requires that Your Eminence behave in such a way as not to draw attention to yourself. There is only one way to achieve this: not to make public appearances and to conduct a quiet life of prayer and penance for past imprudent actions.

It isn’t the most edifying letter, but—again—one must remember how little evidence corroborated these “old accusations.” That isn’t an excuse: merely an explanation.

McCarrick then went into a kind of semi-retirement, occasionally but flagrantly flouting the pope’s restrictions. Benedict would have been wise then to slap him with charges of disobedience, but perhaps feared that a popular and powerful cardinal’s sudden disappearance from public life would cause suspicion. We don’t know, and we may never know.

❧

Things remained more or less the same until 2012. That year, another of McCarrick’s victims came forward. “Priest 3” belonged to the Diocese of Metuchen, where McCarrick served as bishop from 1981 until 1986. Priest 3 filed a complaint with Archbishop Viganò—who, by then, had been named Papal Nuncio to the United States.

Here’s where things get interesting.

According to the McCarrick Report, Viganò asked the new prefect of the Congregation for Bishops, Marc Cardinal Ouellet, what to do about these allegations. Remember, this is only the third victim to come forward. (“Priest 2” requested laicization a year after he was ordained. He maintains that his encounters with McCarrick did not affect his decision. He struck up an affair with a laywoman and wanted to leave the priesthood so they could marry and have children.)

The Report claims that Cardinal Ouellet then asked Archbishop Viganò to investigate McCarrick. He was told to speak to Priest 3, as well as Metuchen’s Vicar General and the Vicar for Clergy. According to Priest 3, Viganò never reached out. In his testimony, Priest 3 said that he was “disappointed” by Viganò’s silence and “felt that the Nuncio was not paying attention to something that to me was very important.”

In fact, Viganò appears to have kept up a friendly correspondence with McCarrick. In February of 2014, the latter met with then-Speaker of the House John Boehner to discuss “immigration reform” (i.e., open borders). Viganò later wrote to McCarrick, “I am truly grateful for your efforts in promoting immigration reform, as well as for your availability to someone like Speaker Boehner. Likewise, know that it was a pleasure for me to speak with [you] on the telephone earlier this month.”

Let me say this before going on. When Viganò published his 2018 testimony, I believed him. In fact, I still do. I believe that he warned the Vatican about McCarrick several times between 2006 and 2014. But the Vatican doesn’t deny that. Instead, they’re now saying: “Yes, Viganò told us. And we ordered him—our most senior representative in the United States—to investigate. He didn’t. How were we supposed to proceed without any evidence against McCarrick—evidence that he, Archbishop Viganò, was charged with gathering?”

Just hours after the Report was published, Viganò issued a statement saying: “I cannot help expressing my indignation in seeing the same accusations of cover up being made against me, when in fact I repeatedly denounced the inaction of the Holy See in the face of the gravity of the accusations concerning McCarrick’s conduct.” And, surely, it’s just a little too convenient that all the blame should fall on Viganò’s shoulders.

And yet…

❧

I know that many of our readers admire Archbishop Viganò and won’t like what I’m about to say. Still, it must be said. We must consider the possibility that Viganò did not carry out his investigation into Priest 3’s abuse.

Now, it’s possible that the Vatican forged Priest 3’s testimony for the report. He (or his Vicar General, or his Vicar of Clergy) may come forward tomorrow and say that Viganò did contact him. Viganò himself may be able to produce some evidence to that effect. But he didn’t even allude to the existence of any possibility that he may be formally exonerated. He simply asked that we take him at his word.

That’s asking too much. We must consider the possibility that, when the McCarrick scandal first erupted in 2018, Viganò realized that his dereliction would become public. He got in front of the story, so to speak, by publishing his “testimony” and calling for the pope to resign. He gathered a large following of conservatives and traditionalists who were critical of Francis, hoping they would shield him from criticism.

Remember, Archbishop Viganò isn’t a simple country priest. He’s a career Vatican diplomat and a senior member of the Curia. It’s entirely conceivable that a man in his position would warn the Vatican about McCarrick (he was hardly the first to do so), but wouldn’t want to risk his position by personally challenging one of the most powerful cardinals in the Catholic Church.

Again, I’m not saying that’s the case. But it’s certainly possible. If Viganò had the opportunity to provide the Vatican with a substantial case against McCarrick in 2012 but failed to do so, then he must accept his share of the blame. And if he’s as committed to institutional reform as he claims, than he will understand if his fellow reformers feel the need to scrutinize his record. He’ll understand that no bishop can be above scrutiny in this matter.

❧

At last, we come to the Francis papacy.

Like John Paul II, Francis has a certain blind spot when it comes to clerical sex abuse. In 2015, Francis made known his intention of appointing Bishop Juan Barros to the Diocese of Osorno in Chile. The Chilean bishops’ conference begged him not to, accusing Barros of complicity in the sexual assaults perpetrated by Father Fernando Karadima. Like McCarrick, Barros denies the allegations; like John Paul, Francis took him at his word.

In 2018, when confronted by journalists about Barros, Francis accused Karadima’s victims of “calumny.” It took an intervention by Sean Cardinal O’Malley—the Church’s top authority on predator priests—for the Holy Father to apologize. The incident still makes my stomach turn.

Most Vatican-watchers believe that Francis plucked McCarrick out of retirement and consulted him on matters of grave importance, like the Vatican’s concordat with China and the appointment of American bishops. The Report, of course, denies the two had any substantial interactions.

Yet even a hagiographic 2014 profile in the left-wing National Catholic Reporter notes,

McCarrick is one of a number of senior churchmen who were more or less put out to pasture during the eight-year pontificate of Pope Benedict XVI. But now Francis is pope, and prelates like Cardinal Walter Kasper (another old friend of McCarrick’s) and McCarrick himself are back in the mix and busier than ever.

“I guess the Lord isn’t done with me yet,” he told the pope.

“Or the devil doesn’t have your accommodations ready!” Francis shot back with a laugh.

On another occasion, Francis and McCarrick ran into each other in the Holy Land. When the Holy Father saw him, he cried: “The bad ones, they never die!”

You can’t make this stuff up.

As I always say of Pope Francis, one must bear in mind that he’s not terribly bright. In fact, he’s badly out of his depth and totally in the thrall of the Deep Church. He was an obscure, center-right bishop from South America before he was groomed by the Saint Gallen Mafia to act as their puppet on the Chair of Peter. It’s possible he hadn’t heard about Uncle Ted’s beach house when he welcomed McCarrick back into public ministry.

One of McCarrick’s allies may have said to Francis, “Oh, poor Theodore. He’s just a simple parish priest at heart—like you, Holy Father! Look at all the work he did for the poor, and for peace in the Middle East. Ratzinger shouldn’t have put him out to pasture. He has so much more to give the Church.” And Francis, in his naivete, went along with it.

Again, I don’t know. The point is that he did welcome him back. If the Vatican now denies that fact, they’re lying through their teeth.

In any event, it appears that (like Benedict) Francis came to regret his early warmth towards McCarrick. As we said, when The New York Times published its report in 2018, Francis defrocked him as quickly as possible and without due process. At that point, he must have been looking for an excuse.

❧

What I’ve presented here is my most objective reading of a long, heavily biased document. Of course, we should bear in mind that it was published by Francis’s Vatican. It tries to exonerate the Holy Father entirely—and, in that, it fails.

But here are the three points that I hope readers will take away.

1) While there’s no doubt that McCarrick was shielded by his allies in the Vatican, much of the hierarchy’s inaction stems from the lack of hard proof of his misconduct. In fact, if Rome had relied on normal standards of evidence to laicize him, he’d still be a cardinal to this day. For decades, the hierarchy struggled to rein McCarrick in. Then, finally, they threw out the rule book and gave him the sack.

2) To that point, many senior prelates—Cardinal O’Connor, Cardinal Re, Cardinal Ouellet, Pope Benedict, and Pope Francis among them—did try to thwart McCarrick. So, we may want to revise our view that McCarrick was defended by a vast conspiracy of silence. “Everyone knew about him!” we say, but that’s not quite true. Everyone heardabout him. Very few people knew anything for certain. McCarrick saw to that himself.

3) Very serious accusations of dereliction and even complicity have been leveled against Archbishop Viganò. He has a duty to his many loyal supporters to prove his innocence. He must at least dispute the specific claims made in the Vatican’s report. If he will not or cannot do so, he ought to accept part of the blame for McCarrick’s remaining in power. On this point, conservatives and traditionalists should be inflexible. The enemy of our enemy isn’t always our friend.

This isn’t a happy ending we might have hoped for, and we can only hope that more details will be forthcoming. Of course, Crisis will keep our readers updated on any future developments. For example, McCarrick’s allies are not named. That’s the great failure of this report. Someone biased Benedict and Francis in McCarrick’s favor; they, too, should be held accountable. Still, I wouldn’t hold my breath.

So here we are in the wake of the most contested election in memory, and Trump may be officially declared the loser — even after he won his struggle to stop America’s leftward drift. Often, Hollywood epics and even some Sophoclean tragedies have a sequel. And perhaps Donald Trump will too, even if he is forced to ride off into the 2021 sunset — at least for now.

Will Trump Ride Off Into the Sunset?Often, Hollywood epics and even some Sophoclean tragedies have a sequel. And perhaps Donald Trump will too.
BY: VICTOR DAVIS HANSON November. 12, 2020
I once wrote that whenever Donald Trump exits office, he will likely leave as a “tragic hero.” Over two millennia ago, the Athenian tragedian Sophocles first described the archetype in his portraits of an angry and old but still fearsome Ajax, and heroic but stubborn and self-fixated Antigone.
In the iconic John Ford Western “The Searchers” and in a host of other films from “Shane” to “High Noon,” we have seen stories of these sorts.
The legalistic but impotent town council, the idealistic but outgunned sodbusters or the incompetent posse in desperation turns to unconventional deliverance. They suddenly need a John Wayne as a scary Ethan Edwards, or a mysterious gunslinger like Shane.
But to call in such Manichean outsiders is to admit that the status quo of a sober establishment has failed.
The outsider deliverers are suspiciously seen as self-absorbed. Their methods bother an endangered, polite society, even as they begin to bring it results.
We know such checkered iconoclasts from our own war stories of Gens. William Tecumseh Sherman, George S. Patton and Curtis LeMay. All three shredded pretensions. They reminded Americans that war is hell, and that the only thing worse than fighting so brutally against dangerous enemies is losing. And all three — only after the conflicts ended — were eventually deemed eccentric enough to be expendable.
As we learn from the second half of Sophocles’ tragedies and the last 30 minutes of classic Westerns, the nearer the tragic hero comes to ensuring results, the more his benefactors can begin to second-guess his bothersome methods.
They start harping about his uncivilized mannerisms and recalcitrant stubbornness, but only because they now have the luxury of regretting their initial invitation to enlist his aid.
The denouement is as tragic as it is predictable.
A wounded Shane will ride off into the sunset in the snowy Grand Tetons, assured that the danger is past but knowing there is no place in a now-calm range for his six-gun that brought others justice and peace.
In “The Searchers,” Ethan Edwards rescues his kidnapped niece but walks away unnoticed as others self-congratulate for her deliverance.Gary Cooper in “High Noon” will rid Hadleyville of the outlaws it feared. But he will become so disgusted with the town’s ingratitude that he will throw down his badge in the dirt before leaving.
We remember Sherman for supposedly burning a swath through Georgia, breaking the will of the plantation class and freeing thousands of slaves.
Foul-mouthed Patton, with his ivory-handled pistols, is often recalled more as a madman who believed in reincarnation than as a genius who saved thousands of GIs.
A cigar-chomping LeMay, more than anyone, destroyed Imperial Japanese industry and created an effective Cold War deterrent. He ended up caricatured as a nut in the film “Dr. Strangelove.”
So too, perhaps, Donald Trump. Quietly, many Americans knew that unchecked illegal immigration was undermining the melting pot and eroding the idea of legal immigration.
Some feared it was a matter of when, rather than if, communist China would rule the world. Many people were tired of “endless” wars in the Middle East, even as America kept getting sucked into them.
Republicans knew that an originalist court was necessary to save the Constitution, but Republican presidents nonetheless often nominated future liberal justices.
Conservatives hammered away at the principle that late-term abortion was wrong but feared that taking on Planned Parenthood was suicidal.Republicans rightly suspected that they were being typecast as a party of aristocratic golfers but were scared of the changes needed to appeal to the working classes, both black and white. They found the old Reagan Democrats, Ross Perot voters, blue dogs and tea partiers occasionally useful but felt that addressing their grievances would be worse than losing.
So in 2016 the peasants sought outside deliverance and so it came — orange skin, dyed hair, Queens accent and all.
The more Trump beat back Robert Mueller’s dream team, impeachment efforts and the terrible year 2020, the more his beneficiaries worried about his tweets, his bluster and his self-absorption.
The more the economy boomed, and the more Trump recalibrated foreign policy and changed the status quo with China and the Middle East, the more the public could afford to listen to charges of Trump excess.
So here we are in the wake of the most contested election in memory, and Trump may be officially declared the loser — even after he won his struggle to stop America’s leftward drift.
Often, Hollywood epics and even some Sophoclean tragedies have a sequel. And perhaps Donald Trump will too, even if he is forced to ride off into the 2021 sunset — at least for now.

We, as a nation, must accept the results of our election……ONCE it is proven that all legal, lawful, legitimate ballots have been counted and all illegitimate ballots have been discounted!

Posted on November 12, 2020 by abyssum

The Pulse of America by: Stefanos Loisou12 November 2020
America, indeed, has a pulse!As I wrote in my previous article, The Fight for the Soul of America, I stated that our America is a vibrant, living, breathing entity with a soul. Well, one can argue then, that America also has a pulse and that pulse is racing and beating quickly in anticipation of a decision regarding the recent fiasco known as our national Presidential election.
I know, I know. Many, including much of the mainstream media (msm) will argue that we do, indeed, have a decision and former vice president Joe Biden has won….but did he? Nor, has it been a certified vote to date, to my knowledge.
According to many, we had a ‘legitimate’ vote of the nation, the nation has spoken and we should move on and accept the results!
Are the results legitimate?
It is now recognized, though much of the msm ignores it, that our election, sadly, is fraught with fraud even though the New York Times, in a recent banner headline, declared that there is no fraud!
Where is the proof? A bit of proof was offered by Tucker Carlson during his FOX program broadcast of 11/11/2020. Tucker, as we affectionately referred to him, indeed, provided proof that an undetermined number of votes were cast by dead people, former citizens of America who had previously passed away. Oh, wait…how could a dead person cast a vote and that vote be counted?
Folks, that is fraud! So much for the msm that is supposed to discover, question and report.
At least, Tucker is discovering, questioning and reporting.Our election system, the hallmark of our democracy, has been hijacked…it is open and rife with fraud hacking and mismanagement and lacks any meaningful oversight.
The votes of dead people are just one part of the fraud that has been perpetrated upon our electoral system and , therefor, upon us, the American people. We are owed and demand a free and fair election.We did not receive that and that is very plain and clear.
Most recently, Professor Jonathan Turley, distinguished constitutional scholar and George Washington University professor of law, stated, regarding the recent election…..”this alarming. We give billions of dollars to the states…we need a national standard”.
We do, indeed, require and demand a “national standard”, a national template to used by every state that will, at least, provide some uniformity in electoral procedure and that will not allow individual states and legislatures to change the standards at their will and pleasure, even days before an election is to take place.
The votes of dead people are, again, just the ‘tip of the iceberg’. What about the inability of bipartisan poll watchers not being allowed to view the actual vote counting and verification, what about the multi state use of Dominion software that may have, as it appears, to have some type of internal logarithm that changed President Trump votes to Biden votes, until it was detected, what about witnesses, now backed by signed affidavits/sworn statements,, that view backdating of ballots and worse,…the list of viewed and alleged fraud and corruption is long and disgraceful
Our current President Trump called out this voting tragedy to our Republic months ago as he recognized that our current system was so open to fraud and hijacking, Sadly that is what we are experiencing. There are many that are suggesting that the President’s lack of concession and questioning of the sanctity of the vote is ‘sour grapes’ and that he does not like to lose. Who does?
Our President is a man of logic and logic does not allow him and half of the American electorate to accept the results of a fraudulent, corrupt election. Even Senator Mitch McConnell and many others have ‘climbed on board’ behind the President and demand a fair, uncorrupted election and, hence, the questioning and the recounts now taking place.
Will this post election activity change the results? Yet to be determined. However, it is openly acknowledged that it is within the President’s right to challenge the results, results that are certainly questionable, results that appear to defy logic….Remember, the President’s pre election rallies?
Tens of thousands of enthusiastic supporters even braving frigid temperatures to show their support for our President.
Compare that to the lackluster ‘car rallies’ of Mr Biden. A few honking horns from a few gathered automobiles. I remember viewing on of his ‘rallies’ and there were more decorative pumpkins on the stage than there were rally participants! Yes, that may be anecdotal, but the President’s pre election excitement and enthusiasm was a truer display of the pulse of America. A pulse that was vibrant and strong.
It certainly appears that our election was not a fair one. It did not conform to a ‘national standard’ as Professor Turley and many others profess. There is more and more evidence now and more being gathered that there was, indeed, significant fraud perpetrated upon our sacred electoral system and, therefor, upon us, the American people, and for that, all should be appalled.
We, as a nation, must accept the results of our election……ONCE it is proven that all legal, lawful, legitimate ballots have been counted and all illegitimate ballots have been discounted!
We stand behind the President and the pulse of America continues to race.

Do the Democrats actually believe that the 72 million Trump voters are going to throw their support behind Joe Biden when they witnessed four years of relentless deceitful attacks designed to divide the country by Biden’s party on the President they voted for?

Posted on November 12, 2020 by abyssum

Unity For Me, But Not For TheeBy Judd GarrettNovember 12, 2020(emphasis added)
This past Saturday, Joe Biden said, “it’s time to put the anger and the harsh rhetoric behind us and come together as a nation. It’s time for America to unite.” Unity is a wonderful concept. It is something that every country needs. Unity is the life blood of a country. I believe that now, and I believed that back on November 10, 2016, when Donald Trump said, “Now it is time for America to bind the wounds of division, have to get together. To all Republicans and Democrats and independents across this nation, I say it is time for us to come together as one united people.”I have searched the internet. I was hard-pressed to find one Democratic politician from November 9, 2016 to November 6, 2020 who called for unity or supported the any effort to unite the country.Less than one year into President Trump’s term, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer refused to meet with the President. And Nancy Pelosi went a full year as speaker of the house refusing to even speak to President Trump. Is refusing to meet or speak with someone done in the spirit of unity?On February 4, 2020, Nancy Pelosi ripped up President Trump’s State of the Union Address in an attempt to disrespect him in front of the entire country. The previous month, she led an impeachment of President Trump based on no evidence, and not even an accusation of a crime, and 225 Democratic Congressman voted for this politically motivated impeachment. Were these things done in an effort to help build unity in the country? Democratic Congressman Adam Schiff and Senator Chuck Schumer orchestrated a two-and-a-half-year Russian Collusion investigation of Donald Trump claiming he was an agent of Vladimir Putin, and the Russians illegally swayed the election for Trump. They relied solely on opposition research paid for by the Democratic Party which was never verified, and later proven false. And there has never been any evidence supporting this claim. Did that bring unity to the United States?In January 2017, the Obama/Biden Department of Justice destroyed the career and reputation of distinguished General Michael Flynn with a false accusation of violation of the Logan Act, and setting a perjury trap from which he was later exonerated. Was this done to bring the country together?In 2018, Maxine Waters said, “If you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd. And you push back on them. And you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere.” Is this type of rhetoric unifying?Was Senator Dianne Feinstein interested in unity when she led the evidence-free sexual assault hearing of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh slandering him in a vile attempt to destroy his career and reputation?Was Joe Biden’s acting in the spirit of unity when he led the slanderous attacks on both Justice Robert Bork and Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas back in the 80’s and 90’s, purely partisan personal attacks attempting to destroy these men’s character and reputation?You can’t spend four years dividing the country because your candidate wasn’t elected then turn around and ask for unity when your candidate finally is in the White House. It doesn’t work that way.
Do the Democrats actually believe that the 72 million Trump voters are going to throw their support behind Joe Biden when they witnessed four years of relentless deceitful attacks designed to divide the country by Biden’s party on the President they voted for? For four years, Democrats put party over country, their own selfish interests over the interest of the people. Their main tactic was division, divide the country on racial and gender lines, class warfare. They supported Black Lives Matter and Antifa riots this summer which destroyed many of our cities because they knew division helped them in the polls.Was it Donald Trump leading or condoning the riots that tore apart our major cities this summer, or was it the people who are now asking for unity? Kamala Harris sounded like a cheerleader when talking about these riots that killed over 30 innocent people and injured thousands of others. She said, “They’re not going to stop and everyone beware, because they’re not going to stop… Everyone should take note of that on both levels. They’re not going to let up and they should not and we should not.” Does this sound like someone interested in unity, or is this someone advocating a divide and conquer strategy? There was no call for peace and unity at that time by Joe Biden or Kamala Harris. When they don’t have power, they stir up division. When they have power, they call for unity. It didn’t matter to Kamala Harris that people were killed, injured, lost their homes, businesses, and livelihoods. They were all sacrificed on the altar of her political ambitions and agenda.Remember, the last three Presidential elections the Democrats lost, their candidate refused to accept the results of the election. They were not interested in unity, and a peaceful transfer of power. Both Al Gore and John Kerry contested the results of their lost elections, Gore even took his challenge all the up to the Supreme Court. To this day, many Democrats say that George W Bush was selected President not elected. Hillary Clinton and the Democratic leaders put the country through the 2 ½ year false Russian Collusion investigation because she could not accept the fact that she lost. Those three candidates did not support a peaceful transfer of power in the spirit of unity for the country. They acted to divide the country for political purposes.I would love to have a unified country right now and, in the future, but I wanted to have a unified country from 2017-2020. And the people asking for unity now were the ones who not only refused to embrace it then, but promoted division. Are these people so tragically self-unaware that they cannot see their blatant hypocrisy, or are they so despicably deceitful that they do not care about their hypocrisy because they now have the power they crave so badly? To these people, is power so delectably intoxicating that it blinds them to their own deceit and hypocrisy?Amidst these recent calls for unity from the Democratic leadership, congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has called for the names of Trump supporters to be archived so they will be punished in the future, and make them unhirable to potential employers. And recently, The Trump Accountability Project has been formed to punish people for voting for Donald Trump.So, if we are punishing voters for the sins of the people they vote for, should all of those people who voted for Bill Clinton be punished? Voting for a President who flew on the Lolita Express 25 times, raping young girls is much worse than voting for a President who produced the lowest unemployment in 40 years, and the lowest black and Hispanic unemployment in history, and is the first president in 40 years not to start a useless overseas war which costs countless American lives.Joe Biden’s speech on Saturday, was not really a call for unity for the country, it was a call for compliance from Republicans. Unlike the Democrats though, Republicans will not condone or promote riots in attempt to divide and conquer, nor will they created politically motivated impeachments which will only hurt the country. From 2017 to 2020, no olive branch was extended by nor accepted by the Democrats. They clearly were not interested in unity; they were only interested in fanning the flame of division because they knew their only path back to power was to divide and conquer. And in their wake, they left a wasteland of division that not only they, but the rest of the country must wade through in now and in the future.

Why are the Deep State & Deep Church Afraid of Trump, Vigano & Whistleblowers?

FRED MARTINEZ

November 12, 2020

“And so, when two weeks before President Trump’s re-election we learn that the Democrat candidate’s family is awash in drugs and pedophilia, when it is revealed to the world that most likely a great percentage America’s political class is degenerate and corrupt far worse than many “normies” could even imagine, when it is realized that the FBI had likely known about Biden and his family’s proclivities for years and never said anything, when Americans are being blatantly shown that the absolute worst examples of nepotism and filth are facilitated within the U.S. political elite… I say, as all of this is becoming realized in the short two weeks before the 2020 presidential election, Bergoglio comes storming out of the gates of the Vatican to tell the world that he approves of gay civil marriage. And this distraction should be of no surprise to us. Because this is what a CIA pope is supposed to do. Bergoglio wants to take up all of the focus and attention of the world’s Catholics—and specifically the attention of American Catholics. Because the more distracted American Catholics are from Biden’s evil, the more likely they will not vote to re-elect President Trump, who is a blatant enemy of the Deep State.” – Laramie Hirsch[https://catholicmonitor.blogspot.com/2020/10/implications-of-cia-pope-real-mover-and.html]

You can sense, almost smell, the fear of the Deep State, who control the media that their false narrative is being exposed, by their blatant lying.

Yesterday, Mark Levin, a former chief of staff for the Attorney General of the United States, said “The Washington Post FLAT OUT LIED”:

Mark R. Levin@marklevinshow

The Washington Post FLAT OUT LIED about [whistleblower] Richard Hopkins recanting his sworn statement about widespread voting fraud within the postal service. Rather than try to track down what Hopkins has said, they try to smear him. And now the man is under enormous pressure to fold. [https://twitter.com/marklevinshow/status/1326572247239290880]

Today, Complicit Clergy said “The McCarrick Report reveals Francis lied about about ‘knowing nothing’, once again vindicating Archbishop Viganò’s original testimony“:

“The newly released, long-awaited November 10 “McCarrick report” indicates that Pope Francis was not to be blamed for the fact that he did not restrain then-Cardinal Theodore McCarrick in his activities in international affairs and church politics. The report points out that he merely followed the path chosen by Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI with regard to McCarrick. Francis also denies ever having heard from Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò about the allegations of McCarrick’s sexual abuse and the instructions given to him by the Vatican to live a more private life. But the report at the same time shows that Francis did, in fact, hear of the facts of McCarrick’s abuse, but from other sources, namely from Cardinal Angelo Becciu and Cardinal Pietro Parolin. This confirms an essential argument made by Viganò, namely, that Francis knew and chose to collaborate with McCarrick…

Everyone knows that the media, such The New York Times, AP and others, are attempting to ruin Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano who is a whistleblower against the Francis Vatican sex abuse cover-ups.

People are starting to wake up to the fact that the media is controlled by the Deep State.

The United Kingdom magazine Christian Order in its exposé on the “complex corporate/financial/political” Deep State said:

“Occasionally, media scrutiny and/or public prosecution of global criminal scams… provide a glimpse like the Bank of Credit and Commerce International during the 1970s/80s and currently the Clinton Foundation… the first-tier all hold so much dirt on each other that mutual protection and continuing is assured.”

“As for whistle-blowers, the lower-level variety are either bought off, blackmailed, ruined, or murdered with impunity. Exposure and defiance at the highest levels by uncontrollable presidential forces like JFK, Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, on the other hand, sometimes leads to assassination (JFK) but more usually is handled by a controlled press.”

“President Putin’s complaint at the recent Helsinki summit of a massive swindle involving the transfer of $400 million… to Hillary Clinton’s election campaign, for example, was either totally ignored, or mentioned but not pursued… [as was] Putin’s further pointed reference to the transnational conniving of Hillary’s nefarious backer, George Soros.”(Christian Order, “Deep State Armageddon,” August/September 2018)

Everyone who has read or seen on YouTube internationally respected investigator and attorney Elizabeth Yore’s detailed research knows Francis’s Vatican is in bed or in alliance with the Deep State and Soros. Yore revealed:

“George Soros operatives are embedded in the Vatican. They have drafted Vatican documents that set up the Soros agenda which mirrors the Francis agenda.” (YouTube, “An Unholy Alliance: the UN, Soros, and the Francis Papacy,” February 21, 2017)

The Christian Order article, moreover, shows that the Soros/Clinton Deep State doesn’t just have the “controlled press” working for them, but the intelligence agencies:

“As George Neumayr commented… ‘Obama via Brennan, did the equivalent for Hillary’… namely, by turning CIA HQ at Langley, Virginia, into the Clinton War Room.”

“… For [Trump] his tenure is a providential opportunity to face down the Washington vermin; to thwart their occult designs. So let us pray that he [Trump] traps and eradicates them before they trap and eradicate him – or it’s criminal game, globalist set, and godless match to the dirty rats.”

Please pray that God protect President Trump and Archbishop Vigano because they are both fighting against cornered and often deadly enemies.

Pray an Our Father now for the restoration of the Church as well as the Triumph of the Kingdom of the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Note: A good friend of the Catholic Monitor got this from a group message. She said “exorcist Fr. Chad Ripperger is asking everyone to say this prayer until the election is resolved”:

Prayer of Command
In His Name and by the power of His Cross and Blood, I ask Jesus to bind any evil spirits, forces and powers of the earth, air, fire, or water, of the netherworld and the satanic forces of nature. By the power of the Holy Spirit and by His authority, I ask Jesus Christ to break any curses, hexes, or spells and send them back to where they came from, if it be His Holy Will. I beseech Thee Lord Jesus to protect us by pouring Thy Precious Blood on us (my family, etc.), which Thou hast shed for us and I ask Thee to command that any departing spirits leave quietly, without disturbance, and go straight to Thy Cross to dispose of as Thou sees fit. I ask Thee to bind any demonic interaction, interplay, or communications. I place N. (Person, place or thing) under the protection of the Blood of Jesus Christ which He shed for us. Amen Please put your family, the United States of America, whistleblowers, President Donald Trump and Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano as the intentions in the Prayer of Command.

Activists spent much of 2019 and 2020 seeking to overturn constitutionally mandated laws of the state legislatures. Their efforts in key states often succeeded in ensuring that federal elections would be radically transformed into a long process of weeks on end, through both early and predominantly mail-in voting, with allowances for troves of ballots arriving well after the polls closed.

An Election Day Bridge Too Far

Voters might not have had concerns about irregularities,if fundamental steps were taken, and problems fixed.

By VICTOR DAVIS HANSON

November 10, 2020

No wonder half the public is concerned about irregularities in the 2020 voting.
No wonder they would support Donald Trump’s skepticism, once a reputable legal team quickly, publicly, and transparently presents to the nation justified concerns about constitutional violations in changing state voting laws and documented accounts of computer glitches, inexplicable late arrivals of ballot troves, and systemic efforts to prevent transparency — all at a level that reasonably could question the authenticity of the final vote count or even serve a dire warning of things to come.
Voting sanctity was not just questioned by Trump. It became a recent issue in 2016. Then-Green Party candidate Jill Stein was used as a surrogate by Hillary Clinton and the Democratic establishment — to the chagrin of her own supporters — to sue in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania to overturn the 2016 election. The charge was deliberate voting-machine irregularities, for which there was not even much anecdotal evidence.
When that failed, the Left went full Hollywood with a media blitz to convince the American people that the election was a fraud and the electors had to do their “patriotic” duty to overturn the mandates of their own state — and reject Donald Trump.
Within days of that failure, a Democratic narrative appeared that Donald Trump was an illegitimate president due to “Russian collusion.” Soon Hillary Clinton joined the “Resistance,” on the basis that Russians, not the American people, had chosen the president — a charge that eventually sabotaged Donald Trump’s first two years in office, as Robert Mueller’s 22-month, $40-million “Dream Team” failed to prove that a myth, born in efforts to delegitimize an election and a president, was after all a myth.
Indeed, within days of Trump’s inauguration, dozens of Democrats voted for impeachment, as activists wrote about the need to either impeach him, or declare him crazy — or whispered about the need for the military to become vigilant — in a manner later to be dubbed “coup porn.” Again the pretext was a false charge of Russian collusion that had delegitimized the voting.
After that, a new narrative took hold, eventually flagrantly so in the 2019 Democratic primaries, that the Electoral College was illegitimate and should be junked, and the present Supreme Court had to be packed to ensure correct decisions. So the idea that the future voting itself would be politicized started nearly as soon as, or even before, Donald Trump was elected.
Millions of voters now find it rich that suddenly the Democratic Party is vouching for a pristine voting count, after for four years warning in venues like the New Yorker or PBS that new questionable electronic voting machines and dubious state officials were toying with deliberate distortion, and that foreign interests would “again” be seeking to disrupt the election.
Activists spent much of 2019 and 2020 seeking to overturn constitutionally mandated laws of the state legislatures. Their efforts in key states often succeeded in ensuring that federal elections would be radically transformed into a long process of weeks on end, through both early and predominantly mail-in voting, with allowances for troves of ballots arriving well after the polls closed.
The point is that after being lectured by Clintonites, by the media, and by big tech for years that voting was likely to be suspect, the Left did all it could by lawsuits and radical changes to voting statutes to ensure that the count would be, well, suspect by its own prior standards.Still, half of the American people might not be so angry had just one state — as Florida in 2000 — failed to deliver a final, transparent, and timely tally.
But by 2020, we had 20 years to learn from Florida’s endless days of recounting and warped chad auditing. Although the suspicious circumstances were different — this time state executives and judges changed the state voter laws to enhance mail-in balloting in a way inconsistent with the Constitution’s directives — states were nonetheless courting the same disaster of delays, popular outrage, and inconsistent rules of counting and certification.
Now two decades later, Americans, in third-world fashion, suffered five Floridas — Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania — all of which for some reason could not produce a transparent result on Election Day or in the hours shortly after. All had been warned that in some cases new computer voting systems, or in other cases radical transformations to mail-in voting, or in all cases insufficient awareness to transparency might once again provoke popular distrust. And in addition, a deadlocked Supreme Court ignored clear warnings that state judges and executives were overruling constitutionally mandated legislative laws of voting.
So the public is mystified that the center of global high tech; the bastion of transparency and civil rights; the birthplace of the computer, the Internet, and automatic voting; home of the $4-trillion Silicon Valley masters of the universe; and the nation that vowed never again to suffer another 2000 has again failed.
A nation whose tech wizardry can ferret out a single improper tweet and block an individual account in a nation of 330 million surely can use such omnipresence to ensure a nearly instantaneous voting result in certified machines. Or is the opposite true? Precisely because of that scary omnipotence, we need to be ever more vigilant?
Mutatis mutandis, will the same Bush standard be extended to Trump, to go through the process of reexamination that the Bush team rightly demanded? It would not require much effort for the Supreme Court to determine whether particular states followed or ignored the Constitution in radically changing voting laws in 2020. Either they did so by votes of the Legislature or they did so by executive and bureaucratic mandates, which are not what the Constitution seems to direct.
It would not take much effort simply to reexamine voting machines and computer software, to determine whether hundreds of personal anecdotes of illegality are signs of either systematic failure or mere disgruntled partisans.
Still, the deplorables might have kept quiet had allegations of fraud occurred along bipartisan lines — that for every mysterious Wisconsin and Pennsylvania vote there was equal concern in hotly contested Texas and Florida. Both sides might have pointed to voting stoppages in the nocturnal hours, and the sudden appearance of new ballots and the record 90-percent turnout of registered voters in particular counties. All that weirdness would likely have been ignored had it occurred in bipartisan fashion regardless of the eventual vote.
So again half the country now worries that purple swing states in which it was anticipated the vote would be close were targeted by Democratic activist-bureaucrats, especially in big cities — whether by pre election radical changes in voting laws and regulations, or laxity in ensuring proper date cutoffs, or inattention to computer authenticity to ensure “glitches” would not unduly sour public confidence.
Still, voters are a forgiving lot. They might have sighed “move on” had the prior polls simply conditioned the country for a close race, predictions they trusted and thus could have prepared them for a long and acrimonious night.
Instead, the party that drumbeats “voter suppression” ad nauseam hectored the country about the “historic” reckoning to come on Election Day. The Left went full Bob Mueller “bombshells” and “walls are closing in” to condition the nation for a 1964-like Democratic landslide, the just send off for the hated Trump.
Red-state America for months was assured by pollsters and their partners in the media of the slaughter to come. On election eve, Trump was down 17 points in Wisconsin in the ABC/Washington Post poll. Trump was 12 points down in the CNN popular vote poll. Trump would suffer a 383-vote landslide loss in the Electoral College in the last YouGov poll.
These authoritative predictions, often framed to the decimal point and the result of thousands of “computer simulations,” were not just off, but so far off to be easily seen as laughable.
Had the presidential polls at the state levels, or polls of the Electoral College or those of Senate and House races, been close and thus approximated the actual vote that transpired on Election Day, voters would have shrugged that this time around at least the polls were in the margin of error in their wrong predictions.
But again, what the country got instead was assurance of a Democratic Krakatoa, contrary to what people saw in the contrast between Trump’s huge rallies and Biden’s pathetic assemblage of honking cars.The public witnessed a “sure-loser” president greeted ecstatically at huge gatherings while “sure-winner” Biden lost his train of thought before a few hundred car-bound onlookers.
Still, Americans might have shrugged even then and sighed, “polls will be polls” — had not there been the example of 2016. Then most of the state polls were wrong, but predictably wrong in their prediction of a Clinton landslide. After that collective embarrassment, voters were assured that pollsters were looking inward and that the media was venturing out to Red State America to discover “what makes these people tick.” That too was a hoax.
Perhaps voters still would have said, “2000 Florida 5.0 is weird, but I guess it can happen.” They might have added, “2016 polls, I guess, never fixed their methodology for 2000.”
But then there was the media.
The media itself funded joint polls and reveled in their investments on television as gospel. On Fox News, Arizona was called early on election eve by its analytics experts. That spark in nanoseconds was aired through the networks with editorialization along the following lines: “If conservative Fox now says Trump’s red-state base has repudiated him in the first hours of vote counting, and he’s already lost Arizona, imagine what is now to follow!”
Instead, what in reality followed were clear big Trump wins in Florida and Texas — much more likely results not called until much later. When asked to defend the Arizona decision, a few of the statisticians of Fox doubled down, ensuring that what we are now witnessing in Arizona was “impossible,” the insult to their additional injury of reassuring America that the Democrats would pick up seats in the House.
The public knows that when a candidate loses a base state early in the evening, then the entire media menu for the night is set. Long predictable wins are relabeled “comebacks” or examples of “surprising strength.” Close losses are thematized as “clear pattern of voter unease with the president.” Why question later reports of insecure polling or suspicious late arriving ballots when you lose Barry Goldwater’s state in a mere two hours after polls closed?
Still, the voters might have shrugged, “Well, who believes these premature media-ratings driven calls, anyway?”
But then again, for days before the election, the media not only censored stories of Hunter Biden, but was aided by the clout of Silicon Valley into outright blacking them out — quite in contrast to their earlier two-year-long megaphonic assertions that Donald Trump was soon to be indicted, as Robert Mueller and Christopher Steele had all but proved their cases.
In addition, for months the media assured the nation that a small group of money-grubby apostate Republicans were the voices of morality in the Republican Party. Indeed, Never Trumpers could prove a valuable fifth column to siphon off key support from the Republican ticket.
Flush with nearly $70 million in left-wing cash, the “Lincoln” Project kingpins were glamorized in their efforts to destroy Republican senatorial and House candidates, to flip Republican swing voters, and to pose as the saviors of the Republican Party.
Instead, Trump got more support from Republicans in 2020 than he had in 2016, reaching in so-called exit polls rates of 93 percent.
In the end, Never Trump, Inc. was just another media fiction, although a lucrative one for its concocters if AOC and the Squad don’t appropriate their post-campaign cash reserves.
So what angers half the country could be summed up as the likely mindset of the Trump voter:We don’t care whether an irrelevant Twitter cancels us out. So what, when Facebook and Google warp their technologies? Screw the polls; we knew they were corrupt and unreliable. Who cares if partisan woke bureaucrats reinvent the rules of elections to favor their own and contravene the rules passed by their own legislatures? Not even rumors of computer glitches will matter. And even the most rapid transformations in American election history, from Election Day balloting into a decision by all sorts of bizarre early and mail-in balloting, will not matter. There is no way in America that huge Election Day leads will vanish by midnight in all the suspicious places.We are the people and all these efforts will come to nil. On Election Day, at least we will finally be heard. After all, we are not yet a third-world state.
But such trust proved one bridge too far. We are a third-world state now with malleable laws, an inert Constitution, voting that cannot be certified beyond a reasonable doubt within a reasonable time, with a media that massages rather than reports the news, and pollsters who seek to modulate rather than reflect likely voting.
And that realization that a transparent Election Day vote is a distant memory is what enrages Barack Obama’s clingers, Joe Biden’s dregs, chumps and ugly folk, and Hillary Clinton’s deplorables and irredeemables — the final injury after a host of insults.

In this country, there has been a history of dead people voting, stuffing the ballot box, voter suppression. It has and still can happen in America.

Posted on November 10, 2020 by abyssum

The Rules Are…By Judd GarrettObjectivity is the ObjectiveNovember 10, 2020
In past elections, there were two ways to vote, either at the polling place or absentee, both very simple straight forward. You register to vote by proving you’re a citizen who is eligible to vote. Then, you either show up to the polling place, show proper ID and vote, or you request an absentee ballot to be sent to your home. At the polling places, there are strict laws against political operatives’ ability to unfairly influence or intimidate voters. It’s vital that every vote cast was done so with a free and open mind without unfair influence by political partisans. There was a process to the way we voted, and that process was designed to eliminate voter fraud to the greatest extent possible.From the time of the first election though, there was always someone trying to stuff the ballot box, intimidate voters, circumvent the rules so their side wins. Anyone who thinks that voter fraud can’t or won’t happen in the United States is living in a dream world. In this country, there has been a history of dead people voting, stuffing the ballot box, voter suppression. It has and still can happen in America.In recent years, people have been allowed to drive voters to the polls which always seemed strange to me. Why do these people need to be driven, and who is driving them? If these voters are too ill or in-firmed to leave their homes, they should vote absentee. These situations are why we have the absentee ballot system. On the ride to the polls, do you think the political operatives driving them speak to the voters, giving one last pitch for their candidate, and destroy his opponent? Of course. Isn’t that the type of unfair influence that the laws against political operatives in polling places are designed to stop? They claim that these people are neutral volunteers or poll workers. In 2020 where everyone and everything is polarized by partisan politics, is there any person remaining who is “neutral”? Very few. At best, they don’t directly influence the voter, they only drive people to the polls from areas with high concentrations of their candidate’s supporters. It’s not everyone needs to vote, it’s everyone who thinks like me needs to vote.And then we come to ballot harvesting where political operatives are allowed collect and submit completed absentee ballots rather than the voters submitting the ballots themselves. These ballot harvesters are not neutral parties either. They work for the campaigns. Do you think there is voter influence happening when political partisans come to people’s homes, help them fill out their ballots and submit their ballots for them? These “volunteers” are not spending all this time because they care about fair elections. They are doing this because they want unfair elections. And they are not harvesting ballots in the opposition party’s district. Again, why isn’t the simple straight forward absentee ballot process being used? Because it’s very difficult to unfairly influence the voter in the absentee ballot process where the political operative is cut out of the loop.And then there is the mail-in voting process that became vitally “necessary” in 2020 because of COVID-19. They claimed it was too dangerous to vote at the polls. I’ve been to the grocery store, the mall, the movies, restaurants since we re-opened the country, and voting was one of the safest things I’ve done outside my house in the past months. We can riot for four straight months but we can’t spend four minutes in an antiseptic voting place? And again, if you didn’t want to risk it, why not use the absentee system? Because the absentee system is more secure against voter fraud than the mail-in system. Certain cities and counties were papered with mail-in ballots, and those ballots were allowed to be harvested by political operatives. In some places, signatures on ballots did not have to match signatures on voter registration rolls. Other places allowed mail-in ballots to be accepted days after the election was over, and no postmark on the mail-in ballots was required.And no one asks the question of why tens of thousands of “mail-in ballots” showed up in the dark of night, after the polls closed, some with mismatched signatures, no string of custody of the ballots, voting only in the presidential election for one candidate.And then we must put up with the incessant chanting of “every vote must be counted.” Every vote? Really? How about illegal votes? How about the votes of dead people? How about the ballots filled in by a political operative for someone else? All those votes should be counted? I feel like Danny Zuko at Thunder Road in the movie Grease when Leo, the leader of the other gang said, “The rules are, there ain’t no rules.” The voting laws are, there ain’t no voting laws. It has become a free-for-all. Anybody can vote, no voter ID required, party operatives can unfairly influence and intimidate voters, or even fill out the ballots for voters. It’s easier for a non-citizen to vote in our elections than it is for a 16-year-old to get into an R-rated movie, or anyone to buy alcohol.Kamala Harris said that within the first 100 days, her administration will give amnesty to 11 million illegal immigrants. Like voting, there used to be a legal process to immigrate into the United States and become a citizen. It was a fair and legal process which has allowed tens of millions of immigrants to come here from other countries for a better life while also trying to maintain the integrity of our borders and protect our sovereignty. But now the process consists of sneak across our borders illegally and we will hand you citizenship. The immigration laws are, there ain’t no immigration laws.Make no mistake, the politicians who want this are not doing it because of their compassion for disaffected people living in other countries. They don’t care a thing about suffering people. We have homeless veterans living on the street in our country that these so-called compassionate politicians refuse to do anything to help. No, it’s not compassion that’s motivating amnesty, it’s votes. Like mail-in ballots and ballot harvesting, these politicians want amnesty only because they know that the overwhelming majority of illegal immigrants will vote for their party thus insuring future victories at the ballot box. It’s about power.While politicians manipulate the system and change the laws for the sole purpose of grabbing and maintaining power, the rest of the country will have to deal with the consequences of the potential of massive voter fraud in the future. Elections will be like the steroid era in baseball where the best players were the ones who injected the most testosterone or HGH into their systems, our leaders will be determined by who commits the most voter fraud.In Grease, they were “racing for pinks… Pink slips, ownership papers.” And we are fighting not just for ownership of the country, but to determine even if there will be a country remaining at all. Because in the end, if we have no election laws, we don’t really have a democracy, and if we have no borders, we don’t really have a country. And if we keep going down this road, it looks like very soon, we will have neither, borders, elections, a democracy or a country.

There was a process to the way we voted, and that process was designed to eliminate voter fraud to the greatest extent possible.From the time of the first election though, there was always someone trying to stuff the ballot box, intimidate voters, circumvent the rules so their side wins. Anyone who thinks that voter fraud can’t or won’t happen in the United States is living in a dream world. In this country, there has been a history of dead people voting, stuffing the ballot box, voter suppression. It has and still can happen in America.In recent years, people have been allowed to drive voters to the polls which always seemed strange to me. Why do these people need to be driven, and who is driving them? If these voters are too ill or in-firmed to leave their homes, they should vote absentee. These situations are why we have the absentee ballot system. On the ride to the polls, do you think the political operatives driving them speak to the voters, giving one last pitch for their candidate, and destroy his opponent? Of course. Isn’t that the type of unfair influence that the laws against political operatives in polling places are designed to stop? They claim that these people are neutral volunteers or poll workers. In 2020 where everyone and everything is polarized by partisan politics, is there any person remaining who is “neutral”? Very few. At best, they don’t directly influence the voter, they only drive people to the polls from areas with high concentrations of their candidate’s supporters. It’s not everyone needs to vote, it’s everyone who thinks like me needs to vote.And then we come to ballot harvesting where political operatives are allowed collect and submit completed absentee ballots rather than the voters submitting the ballots themselves. These ballot harvesters are not neutral parties either. They work for the campaigns. Do you think there is voter influence happening when political partisans come to people’s homes, help them fill out their ballots and submit their ballots for them? These “volunteers” are not spending all this time because they care about fair elections. They are doing this because they want unfair elections. And they are not harvesting ballots in the opposition party’s district. Again, why isn’t the simple straight forward absentee ballot process being used? Because it’s very difficult to unfairly influence the voter in the absentee ballot process where the political operative is cut out of the loop.And then there is the mail-in voting process that became vitally “necessary” in 2020 because of COVID-19. They claimed it was too dangerous to vote at the polls. I’ve been to the grocery store, the mall, the movies, restaurants since we re-opened the country, and voting was one of the safest things I’ve done outside my house in the past months. We can riot for four straight months but we can’t spend four minutes in an antiseptic voting place? And again, if you didn’t want to risk it, why not use the absentee system? Because the absentee system is more secure against voter fraud than the mail-in system. Certain cities and counties were papered with mail-in ballots, and those ballots were allowed to be harvested by political operatives. In some places, signatures on ballots did not have to match signatures on voter registration rolls. Other places allowed mail-in ballots to be accepted days after the election was over, and no postmark on the mail-in ballots was required.And no one asks the question of why tens of thousands of “mail-in ballots” showed up in the dark of night, after the polls closed, some with mismatched signatures, no string of custody of the ballots, voting only in the presidential election for one candidate.And then we must put up with the incessant chanting of “every vote must be counted.” Every vote? Really? How about illegal votes? How about the votes of dead people? How about the ballots filled in by a political operative for someone else? All those votes should be counted? I feel like Danny Zuko at Thunder Road in the movie Grease when Leo, the leader of the other gang said, “The rules are, there ain’t no rules.” The voting laws are, there ain’t no voting laws. It has become a free-for-all. Anybody can vote, no voter ID required, party operatives can unfairly influence and intimidate voters, or even fill out the ballots for voters. It’s easier for a non-citizen to vote in our elections than it is for a 16-year-old to get into an R-rated movie, or anyone to buy alcohol.Kamala Harris said that within the first 100 days, her administration will give amnesty to 11 million illegal immigrants. Like voting, there used to be a legal process to immigrate into the United States and become a citizen. It was a fair and legal process which has allowed tens of millions of immigrants to come here from other countries for a better life while also trying to maintain the integrity of our borders and protect our sovereignty. But now the process consists of sneak across our borders illegally and we will hand you citizenship. The immigration laws are, there ain’t no immigration laws.Make no mistake, the politicians who want this are not doing it because of their compassion for disaffected people living in other countries. They don’t care a thing about suffering people. We have homeless veterans living on the street in our country that these so-called compassionate politicians refuse to do anything to help. No, it’s not compassion that’s motivating amnesty, it’s votes. Like mail-in ballots and ballot harvesting, these politicians want amnesty only because they know that the overwhelming majority of illegal immigrants will vote for their party thus insuring future victories at the ballot box. It’s about power.While politicians manipulate the system and change the laws for the sole purpose of grabbing and maintaining power, the rest of the country will have to deal with the consequences of the potential of massive voter fraud in the future. Elections will be like the steroid era in baseball where the best players were the ones who injected the most testosterone or HGH into their systems, our leaders will be determined by who commits the most voter fraud.In Grease, they were “racing for pinks… Pink slips, ownership papers.” And we are fighting not just for ownership of the country, but to determine even if there will be a country remaining at all. Because in the end, if we have no election laws, we don’t really have a democracy, and if we have no borders, we don’t really have a country. And if we keep going down this road, it looks like very soon, we will have neither, borders, elections, a democracy or a country.

THE BATTLE FOR THE SOUL OF AMERICA

Posted on November 10, 2020 by abyssum

This excellent post is from The Gateway Pundit. I have found it to be the best online site for up-to-the-minute Truth.

THE BATTLE FOR THE SOUL OF AMERICAIf Joe Biden had run a real campaign and generated genuine enthusiasm, Trump voters would be unhappy with his victory but would acknowledge he had won. But Biden did not win. This election was stolen. And the fury and bitterness among Trump’s base is real and pervasive. So far, Trump supporters are keeping their powder dry–literally and figuratively. They are going to give the institutions, particularly the Justice Department, the opportunity to set things right in accordance with the law. But there is a limit to their patience. I know that Donald Trump understands this point, it remains to be seen if Attorney General Bill Barr grasps the situation. From what I know of Bill Barr, especially from friends who are close with Barr, he understands the danger and the implications perhaps even better than President Trump.The latest coup attempt is a mixture of audacity and sloppiness. On the audacious side we see a coordinated effort in key battleground states to stop counting votes when it was clear that Trump was in the lead and headed to a second term. The reason to stop counting was to bring in the thousands of votes that would make it appear that Trump lost. But for those of us in Florida, we saw the Democrat plans thwarted and the true depth of Trump’s victory.Here is where we see the sloppiness of the Democrat plot against Trump–the Dems foolishly forgot to cook the books on the House and the Senate. Trump’s coat tails brought significant gains in the House of Representatives and prevented a wipeout in the Senate. It is historically and statistically improbable that Republicans win back seats in House and hold the Senate while Trump allegedly loses. Trump did not lose. He garnered the most votes ever for a Republican but could not control the Democrat Governors who opted to stuff ballot boxes with bogus ballots. There is a legal, lawful remedy to this.I got my start at the CIA as the Honduran analyst during the height of the war in Central America. Part of my duties required me to keep tabs on political chicanery that was rampant among Honduran political, business and military leaders. I am now stunned to witness that this Republic–thanks to the craven and corrupt actions of politicians, business leaders and the media–behave like a shithole banana republic. The days of America lecturing other countries on how to conduct free, fair elections is over.So, what are we to do?First, Trump supporters in Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona and Nevada must demand action by their state legislators. Those men and women must stand up and be counted and must fight this outrage.Second, turn off the media and cancel subscriptions to those publications that have facilitated this evil farce. This means Fox. Only News Max and OAN can be relied on now to report what is going on. An honest media would be reporting on the growing mountains of evidence that the will of the voters was thwarted. Our so-called media, for the most part, is mute or insisting that we did not see what we very clearly saw–i.e., votes for Biden magically appearing in the middle of the night, Republican observers being barred illegally from doing their job, Trump supporters showing up to vote and being informed that they had already voted, and long lists of dead people who were resurrected from their graves to cast a vote for Sleepy Joe.Third, shutdown your Facebook and your Twitter accounts. Create fake accounts and do not post any personal information about your activities or those of your family. Only support genuine social media that allow full, unfettered discussion. Sign up for Parler, for example.Fourth, vote with your dollars. Make sure you are not supporting the tech giants that are continuing to play a hand in trying to quash dissent and drown out the truth.Fifth, if you own a firearm make damn sure you know how to use it. You must know without a doubt how to safely load, unload, fire and clean your weapon. There are thousands of NRA instructors ready to assist.Sixth, change your viewing habits. Give up your Netflix account. Don’t support Hollywood. If you don’t watch their movies and buy their products you will hit them where it really hurts–the pocketbook.Seventh, Do the Math! Trump supporters in every state must obtain official state registered voter counts on Nov 2. Compare those totals to the numbers put up at the end of November 3rd. Why? You couldn’t have voted if you weren’t registered. Next, compare the addition of Nov 2 voters to those added on Nov 3 TO the total votes for a state. If total votes / nov 2 plus add ons is greater than the 5 year average of same comparison in 2016, ie percent of voters who voted THEN, there is clear probable cause to show that ballot stuffing occurred.Last, pray. We are not in a battle with mere mortals. This is at root a war against evil. The constant drumbeat of propaganda proclaiming Donald Trump as a racist, as homophobic and a liar is but one manifestation of this demonic plot. The very people leveling those charges are the ones who have allowed millions of black Americans to wallow in misery in crime ridden neighborhoods. They are the ones who celebrate aborting black babies as a fundamental human right. They are the ones who will gladly sell out to China and sacrifice American jobs in order to rake in millions of dollars.I understand the gut churning fear that many of you feel. I also understand the seething rage that has yet to manifest itself. Here the radical left, masquerading as Democrats, have made a fatal mistake. They assume we will go quietly into the Gulag. They don’t know America.

ABYSSUS ABYSSUM INVOCAT / DEEP CALLS TO DEEP

HOW DID IT HAPPEN? THE McCARRICK SCANDAL???

How McCarrick Got Away

By Michael Warren Davis

We, as a nation, must accept the results of our election……ONCE it is proven that all legal, lawful, legitimate ballots have been counted and all illegitimate ballots have been discounted!

Do the Democrats actually believe that the 72 million Trump voters are going to throw their support behind Joe Biden when they witnessed four years of relentless deceitful attacks designed to divide the country by Biden’s party on the President they voted for?

You can sense, almost smell, the fear of the Deep State, who control the media that their false narrative is being exposed, by their blatant lying.

Why are the Deep State & Deep Church Afraid of Trump, Vigano & Whistleblowers?

CORRUPTION EVIDENTLY IS STILL PRESENT IN THE US DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE/FBI

In this country, there has been a history of dead people voting, stuffing the ballot box, voter suppression. It has and still can happen in America.
