The Government Corruption of Scienc

The Government Corruption of Science

Nov 16, 2020 by

by Andy May

I wrote my latest book, Politics and Climate Change: A History, because I recognized that government funding of scientific research was corrupting science. We were warned this might happen by President Eisenhower in his farewell address to the public, where he said:

“The prospect of domination of the nation’s scholars by Federal employment, project allocation, and the power of money is ever present and is gravely to be regarded.” (Eisenhower, 1961)

How right he was.

Federal money allows unelected and protected civil service bureaucrats to control scientific research. They dictate the projects, and often outcomes. They use selective leaks to the press to embarrass any elected politicians who try to interfere with their control over research. The bureaucrats trade in fear and relish it. Politicians who disagree with them are suppressing or ignoring “science.” To them science is not a search for the truth, it is a dogma that must be believed. Worse, they believe a consensus of experts is scientific fact. Science is a method of disproving consensus opinion with observational facts, analysis, and reason. It is a methodology, honed over centuries, that allows one person to show everyone else they are wrong. Science is the opposite of political consensus.

Government money clearly does not improve research, the theoretical estimates of the impact of man-made CO2 have not narrowed in 41 years, as we discussed in our last two posts, here and here. Despite billions in government spending, the IPCC AR5 report (IPCC, 2013) still says the impact of doubling CO2 is between 1.5°C and 4.5°C, exactly the same range given in the Charney Report (Charney, et al., 1979). Empirical observation-based estimates, like the one by Nic Lewis and Judith Curry (Lewis & Curry, 2018), have narrowed, but these were not government funded. The funding did not improve science, it was not intended to improve the science, it was political.

The bureaucrats use an ignorant and compliant news media to demonize any privately funded scientific research as “corrupted” by “evil” corporations. The bureaucrats enlist the support of non-profit activists, supported by giant foundations, owned, and controlled by billionaires. These billionaires seek influence and political power. The non-profits, in turn, lobby the press to get their version of the story out. Every company doing independent research is compared to an evil tobacco company and accused of lying to the public. The book contains many examples of this.

This demonization is an attempt to deny corporations, farmers, and workers a voice in debates over government regulations and environmental issues. The Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) is a left-wing advocacy non-profit organization that pretends to be scientific. It is well known for slanting its “research” to get desired results (Activist Facts, 2020). Their report, Heads They Win, Tails We Lose (Grifo, Halpern, & Hansel, 2012), is a blatant attempt to suppress any scientific debate of government regulations by private corporations. The science is not debated or explained, one can imagine journalists and non-profits funded by billionaires saying, “The public doesn’t need to understand this, we tell them what to think!”

In the words of the Australian wordsmith, Joanne Nova:

“A trial without a defense is a sham

Business without competition is a monopoly

Science without debate is propaganda

Remember this the next time someone says the “science is settled.”

Grifo, et al. complain that there is “inappropriate influence of companies with a financial stake in the outcome.” If the companies have a financial stake in the outcome, they should be involved in the regulatory debate, how can it be otherwise in a republic? These companies have a first amendment right to be involved. Grifo, et al. are demanding what President Eisenhower feared, “public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite” (Eisenhower, 1961).

President Eisenhower had two fears, he was worried that scientists would take over public policy and that government officials would control scientific research and outcomes. We now have a devilish combination of the two.

Why have privately funded research?
The UCS fears that companies will be dishonest. They do not believe companies should use litigation to threaten their opponents into being silent, change their views, or destroy their reputations. They also fear that corporations will not be transparent (Grifo, Halpern, & Hansel, 2012, p. 45). Yet as explained in Chapter 3 of our book, the UCS did all these things when they attacked ExxonMobil in the “ExxonKnew” campaign. We expect people to be aggressive in a debate, but we need the debate, and we need both sides to be in it. If one side is excluded or suppressed in any fashion, our republic is gone, and a dictatorship or oligarchy is formed.

In the 19th and pre-WWII 20th century universities and private sector corporations and individuals worked closely together on research and academic programs. This was a good combination; universities tailored their degree programs and their research toward what industry needed. This supplied the corporations with well-trained employees and helped develop new products that improved the world.

The post-war explosion of federal funding of research is beginning to slow and simultaneously business funding has been increasing since about 2005. This is a good trend, but unfortunately, federal spending on research is still almost double corporate spending (Mervis, 2017). As a result, university research is still more oriented toward government projects than business ventures and the government projects tend toward fearmongering projects like climate change, rather than projects that create new products and better society. We believe government funding of research should be no more than corporate funding, and ideally zero because the government tends to fund projects that are political, destructive, and divisive.

Japan (Kazuyuki & Shingo, 2011) and China have many business-oriented university projects with American companies. However, the projects in China are often with American companies like Microsoft or Google and are designed to steal U.S. technology (Song, 2008). Estimates vary, but Chinese intellectual property theft amounts to $225 billion to $600 billion per year according to many sources (Huang & Smith, 2019). According to the National Law Review:

“China’s typical modus operandi is to steal American IP, replicate it, replace the U.S. company originating that IP in the Chinese domestic market, then displace the United States in the global market.” (Laufman, Casino, & Kasdan, 2020)

In the United States, liberal non-profit organizations, the news media, and some in government have driven a wedge between the natural collaboration of universities and business by demonizing the businesses and any funding they provide to universities. This has hurt the businesses, the universities, and research in general. It only helps our global competitors. University climate change research is oriented toward creating elaborate scenarios that predict the end of the earth. The scenarios are used to try and eliminate millions of jobs in the fossil fuel industry. They want to create fear in the public and make them more manageable. This increases government power since the public will often give up their rights and their jobs to gain security.

In the 1970s, the news media predicted we would all die due to global cooling as explained in Chapter 6 of our book. Some scientists even blamed human emissions of CO2 for the cooling. The media love a good disaster prediction and if humans are to blame, the story is even better. Then warming began and again CO2 was the reason. Now we are all going to die from CO2-caused global warming. The shameless media didn’t apologize or even blink, they published that as well. When global cooling begins again, as it inevitably will, count on the media to find a compliant scientist to blame CO2.

It isn’t just the government funding. Media attention motivates universities to come up with scary end-of-the-world stories, rather than products that improve and save lives. Media attention means more government money. As government money begins to drive university research, the universities become more isolated from the businesses they are supposed to be training employees for. Students want high-profile government jobs so they can save the world and ignore the more beneficial and productive jobs in industry. Those jobs go overseas.

University tuition and costs have gone up, but even accounting for increasing college costs, on average attending college is still worth it (Abel & Deitz, 2014). This may not be the case in the future, technology may erode the premium that college graduates can demand in the marketplace (Staton, 2014).

This is all happening as the United States has allowed our technology to be stolen by China and other countries. Onerous regulations, justified by sketchy and secret EPA funded research have forced high-paying, high value-add, manufacturing overseas. Other excessive regulations, often designed and justified with secret government scientific research, have made some extraction businesses (mining, oil, and gas) in the United States excessively expensive or economically impossible.

We are not only sending technology, manufacturing, and extraction overseas, we are simultaneously killing it in the United States and in Europe. As high value-add jobs and high salaries leave, the value of a university education becomes less. Service industry jobs, such as mowing lawns, waitressing, or becoming a store clerk, pay less and these are the jobs laid off technology, manufacturing, and extraction labor are forced into. These jobs do not require university degrees, but many with college degrees are forced into them when the sectors they work in disappear. The universities helped engineer the decline in western technology, manufacturing, and extraction and now they are engineering their own decline.

Businesses are far less likely to trust university educations as they become less involved in degree programs. Students are graduating with more debt as costs go up and make less income to pay it back. Many degrees have become valueless. It has been estimated that student debt exceeds 1.5 trillion dollars in the U.S. (Hanson, 2020). This debt slows home buying, marriage and child-rearing, the most important stimulants to our economy.

Victor Davis Hanson speculated in National Review that universities are sowing the seeds of their own obsolescence (Hanson, 2020). He is correct. To make universities more relevant to our nation, youth, and economy, we must drastically reduce or eliminate government funded university research.

Defense research, of necessity, must remain under government control and must be done in secret. But, except for defense, the government should withdraw from research funding. Universities need to reform and enlarge their relationships with private industry. Cutting off government funding of research would force this to occur. They must orient their research toward productive areas that create new products, improve our wellbeing, and expand the economy. Their faculties will be forced to move in the same direction and produce better workers for industry. The doom-and-gloom orientation of much of our university Earth science research today is poisonous and destructive.

The media have made scientists into gods that spout “truth” and “prove” things. Neither is possible, as we have seen, scientists only propose temporary ideas and then attempt to disprove them. Truths, or more accurately facts, only exist until disproven. Politicians choose scientists that “prove” things convenient to politicians. Witness the corruption of the scientists in the IPCC, as described in Chapter 7 and elsewhere in the book.

Socrates was a scientist who was killed by politicians in 399BC. Socrates believed that people should question everything. His discussions were full of questions, the questions led to more questions, it was his way of learning and teaching. He never proved anything, but he learned. Finally, by questioning the local gods and religion, he was killed. He defied the consensus with his skepticism and died for it (World History edu, 2020). Scientific debate is essential, and the less popular debater should not be jailed or killed.

The public and the news media, who should be asking probing questions, have become convinced that they cannot understand science. They are reduced to asking scientists to spoon feed them sound bites. With a little work, most lay people can understand scientific papers and they should try. Relying on politicians, scientists, and the media to tell us what is happening is not acceptable. Scientists should write more that can be understood by lay people, as John Tyndall and Svante Arrhenius did. Scientists should graduate from writing plots for disaster movies to working to improve our lives. The news media are awful at writing about science because they often have no interest in what is true, they just want attention.

Nirvana’s not coming – IHE implications of the US election

Nirvana’s not coming – IHE implications of the US election

Nov 16, 2020 by

Much of the higher education world, in the United States and beyond, is ecstatic that Donald Trump will be leaving power – although, as of this writing, his willingness to step down is unclear. His departure will bring some immediate and positive changes that will affect the American and also the international higher education landscape – both in tone and in American policy.

But Trumpism is far from gone. The kind of populism and nationalism that Trump exemplified remains part of American reality – and the realities of many other countries. Keep in mind that 70 million Americans voted for Trump even after experiencing four years of his erratic leadership. The United States remains politically polarised, with Republicans in control of the Senate and many of the state governments.

While Trump was voted out of office, pro-Trump Republicans did well in the election. And elsewhere, Trump-alike leaders of governments and big opposition parties are still strongly present, for instance, in Brazil, Hungary and Poland.

The divide between climate change deniers and those who are anti-internationalist and anti-immigration on the one hand, and those in favour of international collaboration to solve key problems locally and globally, is bigger than ever in the United States but also in the rest of the world.

American higher education retains its global reputation and attraction. America’s best universities still hold the top rankings, and the rest of the system remains popular, although the economic crisis and demographic changes will negatively impact some colleges and universities.

Surveys carried out during the COVID-19 crisis show that students around the world still want to study in the United States, although its market share, which was already declining before Trump came to power in 2016, continues to decline and will do so even under a Biden presidency.

Quick changes

The great rhetorical fog of Trump is already lifting from the American higher education landscape, even before President Biden takes office on 20 January 2021. The idea that the United States is an active participant in global higher education is being restored.

Of course, the American higher education community continued to engage internationally during the Trump years, but both the policies and the rhetoric of the Trump administration had an impact.

Visa restrictions, elements of the ‘Muslim ban’ that may still be in practice, the time restriction on student visas, tight regulations on Optional Practical Training and H-1B visas and other elements are likely to be ended quickly. Regulations concerning post-doctoral appointments are likely to be returned to traditional practice.

The path to obtaining green cards for foreign graduates is likely to be made easier. And the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals programme, which does not directly affect international higher education but provides protection to 643,000 immigrants, will be reinstated.

Existing programmes, such as Fulbright and other exchanges, which were under threat and suffered budget cuts, will be safe. The partisan politicisation of international initiatives of all kinds, such as the Voice of America and including those relating to higher education, will be ended.

Possible policy shifts

In general, American governmental policies relating to international higher education will revert to pre-Trump norms. There is likely to be greater scrutiny of the for-profit higher education sector domestically – and this will have some impact on the international operations of for-profits.

But due to the continuing COVID-19 crisis and the fiscal and economic disruptions related to it, new initiatives relating to international higher education are very unlikely.

Important issues such as racism and inequality in higher education in general, as well as in study abroad and international student policies, will get attention, given the strong focus of incoming vice-president Kamala Harris on these issues. But given their systemic presence in the sector, they will not be easy to overcome.

The China problem

It is likely that the highly negative rhetoric from the Trump administration concerning Chinese students, scholars and programmes in the United States will end, as will some of the often irrational restrictions imposed by the Trump administration, and academic relations with China will ‘normalise’.

But there is a broad consensus in the US government that there is a problem with, for example, intellectual property theft and concern with restrictions on academic freedom in China and related topics, and thus it is likely that tensions will continue – but in a context of rationality. On this geopolitical topic, there will be more alignment with European partners and Canada.

Broader trends

Overall, the transition to a Biden presidency in the United States will imply a substantive shift in tone toward more international collaboration in research and education and a revision of several of the draconian measures toward international students, faculty and partnerships. But one can wonder if it will be possible to correct the enormous damage to its international reputation of the past four years.

The trend of increasing competition from Asia will be difficult to reverse. European universities, although challenged by Brexit, as well as Canada seem better prepared for the end of the pandemic than higher education in the United States, even though its top institutions will continue to lead the rankings.

At best, one can say that international higher education will be in a less deplorable state under Biden than under Trump, and that in itself is something one has to be pleased about.

EDUCATION AT A CROSSROADS

EDUCATION AT A CROSSROADS

Nov 16, 2020 by


JC Bowman

American public education is at a crossroads. We face unforeseen and unique challenges educating the next generation during this global pandemic. It will necessitate concerted effort to make certain every student has the opportunity to succeed, regardless of where they live, especially during COVID-19.
 
We must get the correct support for our students, educators, and schools. It will also require thought, commitment, and willingness to reduce the federal footprint in public schools and give the power to make decisions on education back to those closest to the people.
 
Our stakeholders and policymakers must carefully address critical issues in the next few months. Through education, we can create a healthier economy and society. Whatever we do in public education now will determine what is possible in our economy and society later. We must strategically frame the problems in public education. Then we must offer realistic and attainable solutions for longer-term systemic change.
 
This pandemic allows us to address long-standing needs in public education. We must help the public see what is possible in public education, with truthful unfiltered dialogue, by creating constructive and necessary change all while keeping the public trust and being transparent. Too many decisions are being made by unelected bureaucrats with little oversight.
 
There is very little doubt that closed schools create immense challenges for parents. Virtual education has been used as a stopgap measure in most cases, with schools and districts going online while trying to educate children. Often policymakers merely throw around the concept of virtual education, without acknowledging the real challenges faced by districts to enact such a transition.
 
The pace at which our schools and districts moved during this COVID-19 crisis was unprecedented in American education history. We have not even begun to understand what has worked and what has failed, and still, we are being told to keep pushing in that direction. The question to ask is: Are we building on solid ground or are we tilting at windmills?
 
Online classes may be problematic, especially for younger students. However, we should certainly work to include them in future efforts. Nevertheless, we know some students simply do not respond well to online classes. Even where students have been issued laptops and tablets, there is no guarantee that they will have access to the internet at home. Some students don’t do well in a cyber environment as distance learning is not effective without proper supervision. Input from parents and educators will be critical for research.
 
Many think tanks and politicians are making dire predictions of student learning loss triggered by COVID-19. Certainly, some students across the nation did experience learning loss. Some of these projections are meaningless speculation, considering the inconsistent back-to-school methods being used nationwide. Indeed, inequities were likely magnified for low-income students, those with disabilities, and students who lacked distance learning capabilities compared to students who were better supported.
 
There will always be questions surrounding the relationships between local and state government and the delivery of public education. The role of the federal government will always invite criticism, and it should. Policymakers and stakeholders seem to always ask the question about whether we have too many expectations and given too much responsibility to our schools.
 
It is necessary to examine the role of our public schools, and question if what we ask them to do is working, and will it work to create a modern economy and prepare citizens for college and career. Since the pandemic, there has been a seismic shift in some states to exert more control over local schools and districts. We must push back there as well.
 
Think tanks and advocacy organizations are often staffed with people who lack real word experience or a background in education, and who carve out policy positions based on donor activity. They then enjoy favored status over state and local education decisions.
 
For example, almost as on cue, many are out pushing statewide assessments to measure student learning and accountability. The major problem with that position is that these position papers are written far in advance and do not allow for real-time adjustments. A military commander, for example, knows he has to make battlefield adjustments. The same is true in public policy. Military leaders know that battle plans may not survive after the first shot. The enemy has a vote in best-made plans. Reality has a way of modifying our plans that many bureaucrats and think tanks do not understand.
 
Education is at a crossroads, where we go next cannot be left to the past. We need to build toward the future with renewed commitment and empowering more local control. We need more engagement and more voices at the table, and we need to be able to make adjustments when necessary.

Multiculturalizing America Into a Land of Strangers

Multiculturalizing America Into a Land of Strangers

Nov 16, 2020 by

By Frosty Wooldridge

With the coming Biden administration, most liberals and conservatives fail to understand the impact of his promises: he promised to open the borders with Mexico for anyone to cross. He promised to grant amnesty to 25 million illegal aliens. He promised citizenship to all DACA recipients. He promised to expand the Muslim and Diversity visas to greater numbers. He promised to expand numerous work visas into the hundreds of thousands.

The question looms large: with the current crisis of internal terrorists such as BLM, Antifa, Boogaloo and others—how will America hold itself together in the coming years? How will it survive so many cultural, linguistic, ethnic, religious and world-view divides? Answer: it won’t! We are being turned into a “Nation of Strangers” by the people we elected to serve us, but instead, they are serving the rest of the world.

For example:

Yesterday, my wife Sandi and I shopped at a Costco store in Denver, Colorado. It sounded and felt like shopping in different countries with so many languages being spoken and strange modes of dress.

We encountered immigrants from Pakistan, India, Mexico, China, Vietnam, Somalia, China and another half dozen countries. Since they spoke in their native languages, we felt zero commonality with them. We felt like strangers in our own community.

Let me speak to this harsh reality: India adds 16 million net gain annually to its already bloated 1.3 billion people with no end in sight. China adds 8 to 10 million, net gain, annually. Africa, at 1.1billion expects to hit 2.1 billion within 30 years. In other words, they continue producing more children than they can water, feed, educate or sustain. Result: they create an endless refugee line of desperate immigrants seeking any country that still offers enough water, food and shelter.

What does that mean to you and your kids? It means: no end of the line of immigrants. They won’t stop their endless birth rates, so they use first world counties for infinite immigration to turn our country into the same refugee camps they fled.

I interviewed on the Ross Kaminiski radio show at www.850KOA.com in Denver. I mentioned that the current 1965 Immigration Reform Act injected over 100 million immigrants into our country from 150 countries in the last 55 years. He said, “So what!”

I said, “Beyond the sheer numbers that will be environmentally devastating to our civilization, we face more fragmentation and fracturing than ever before in the history of the United States. We’ve got racism raging more than ever with responses like BLM and Antifa, along with Mexican Mafia, MS-13 invading Los Angeles and pushing African-Americans out. We’ve got Black Flash Mobs in Philadelphia, Chicago, Denver and Minneapolis knocking down and killing European-Americans. We’ve got Somalian drug gangs in Wisconsin and Minnesota. We’ve got Muslim ‘honor killings’ and ‘Female Genital Mutilation’ in America.”

He said something like, “You always face crime and differences no matter where you are in the world.”

“Well,” I said. “If Biden’s amnesty bills or his executive orders come to fruition, we’ll see 1.1 million immigrants annually that increase to 2.0 million legal immigrants annually. That doubles the speed of immigration to overwhelm our society.”

“We can handle another 100 million immigrants and more,” he said.

“But can we double our population from 319 million to the projected 625 million?” I asked him, “What about quality of life, standard of living, water shortages (already experienced in seven states in 2020 with California leading the nightmare), energy, resources and environment?”

“The Earth can handle it, the oceans can handle all the carbon we can pump into them,” Kaminski said.

Later, I wrote a commentary about Superintendent of Schools, Jason Glassman, in Eagle County, Colorado, addressing his plea that Americans become a bi-lingual country. He told me that we must fight racism.

The philosopher Kant said, “The two great dividers are religion and language.”

I told him, “Endless immigration not only creates intractable poverty, illiteracy and linguistic chaos, it feeds racism, grows racism and ultimately splits a country into a multicultural quagmire. Just look at New York City, Chicago, Houston, Miami and Los Angeles.”

He didn’t like that reality check.

I ask you, with our Congress injecting 100 million more immigrants into this country from 150 third world countries around the globe—what do you think will happen in the next three decades when we jump from 330 million to 440 million people in our country?

Do you think it’s going to be a garden bouquet, melting pot, and gloriously multicultural civilization where everyone sings Kumbaya in 100 different languages?

If my experience in Costco this past weekend indicates our future, I suspect we face becoming a “Nation of Strangers.” We can expect more separation, more political disparateness, linguistic separation and more cultural fragmentation than anyone understands.

Tell me if Colorado Governor Lamm’s starting point for the “Eight ways to destroy America” doesn’t ring true.

As to turning ourselves into a multi-lingual society, former Governor Richard D. Lamm said in a speech in Washington, DC which I attended, “Here is how they destroyed their countries: first, turn America into a bilingual or multilingual and bicultural country. History shows that no nation can survive the tension, conflict and antagonism of two or more competing languages and cultures. It is a blessing for an individual to be bilingual; however, it is a curse for a society to be bilingual. The historical scholar Seymour Lipset put it this way, “The histories of bilingual and bicultural societies that do not assimilate are histories of turmoil, tension and tragedy. Canada, Belgium, France, UK, Sweden, Malaysia, Lebanon—all face crises of national existence in which minorities press for autonomy, if not independence. Pakistan and Cyprus have divided. Nigeria suppressed an ethnic rebellion. France faces difficulties with Basques, Bretons and Corsicans.”

When Florida, Georgia, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada and California start suffering from accelerating water shortages because of another 100 million immigrants, how will we speak to those issues with endless language confusion. How will we get onto the same page?

Let me share with you; does Lamm’s speech make sense? Can you see it as clearly as I see it? Do you see the future for your children?

Do you understand when folks cannot obtain enough water or food, they degrade to violence? When you mix different races and languages, you mix different worldviews. How do you think India, China and Pakistan became failed civilizations—so much so—their citizens flee those countries?

Do you think immigrants become as enlightened as our Western Republic once they reach our shores? Do you think they blend into our culture?

Once we face water shortages, gas shortages and more environmental degradation, we Americans, having lost our country to mass immigration, and having become the new minority group by 2042 (that includes European-Americans and African-Americans)—we face irreversible consequences and unsolvable problems.

We could have stopped it. We could have stopped mass immigration by our actions to stop immigration to the “Ingress Equals Egress” formula.

But instead, you’ve got Ross Kaminski’s’ who don’t know their butts from a hole in the ground and Superintendents like Jason Glassman who think we need to change our English language-speaking country into everybody else’s language.

This whole situation won’t end in a pretty picture. I am astounded as to why I am virtually the only journalist in the country who possesses the guts to spell it out. We need hundreds of Americans and journalists, along with radio and television people to address what we face by adding 100,000,000 (million) people to our country. In a nano-second of time in 30 years!

Do you not think it’s beyond stupid, it’s beyond ludicrous, it’s insane and it’s unsustainable environmentally and sociologically? Please join these organizations to stop your children from this untenable future: www.CapsWeb.org; www.NumbersUSA.org; www.TheSocialContract.com; www.FairUS.org; www.Alipac.us.

Call your senators and House member and tell them what you think. You may call for a total shutdown of all immigration. Or, tell them to reduce all legal immigration to “Egress Equals Ingress”, so if 50,000 leave the USA annually, we can allow 50,000 immigrants who are skilled and speak English, and are compatible to our culture: net gain would equal zero: Ph. 1 202 225 0600

Do it for your kids.

Liberal Maryland public schools will spend $450,000 for anti-racism audit

Liberal Maryland public schools will spend $450,000 for anti-racism audit

Nov 16, 2020 by

The Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) system, located north of the nation’s capital in Washington, D.C., is one of the more liberal public education systems in the country. During the coronavirus pandemic, the county public school system hosted a LGBTQ town hall to commemorate historical events in the gay rights movement, and announced that it will pilot an LGBTQ social studies course.

The system’s superintendent sent a memo to the county’s board of education, which recommended that the one-year “anti-racist” audit be awarded to the consulting firm Mid-Atlantic Equity Consortium. The goal of the audit is to create “equitable outcomes for every student’s academic and social-emotional well-being.” The superintendent lauded the upcoming audit as an “opportunity to examine not only the student experience; it presents the occasion to analyze policies and practices that impact staff.”

The audit will take a deep look into “Workforce Diversity, Work Conditions, K–12 Curriculum Review, Equity Achievement Framework Progress, Community Relations and Engagement, and Evaluation of School Cultures.” The deadline for the anti-racism audit bids for consultants was this past October 12. The memo said that the purpose of the audit was to find a consultant “with deep knowledge and expertise in leading work in racial equity to organize and lead a systemwide anti-racist audit.” The MCPS plans to spend “a total amount not to exceed $454,680.”

As the Washington Free Beacon reported, the recommended consultant has ties to the anti-conservative and anti-religious organization, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). The SPLC has a list of alleged hate groups and commonly places conservative and Christian organizations on the list, without a fair assessment or input. The consultant also claimed that it helps promote “equity in education to achieve social justice.”

The contract recommendation came after a projected budget shortfall of $101 million in the coming year due to declining enrollment during the coronavirus pandemic. Bethesda Magazine, a local publication, noted that projected revenue losses will total around $101 million, or a 3.6% decrease in the system’s $2.8 billion budget.

Atlanta Teachers Innovate To Keep Students Engaged Remotely

Atlanta Teachers Innovate To Keep Students Engaged Remotely

Nov 16, 2020 by

Atlanta Public Schools students have been learning remotely since March. Teachers, like North Atlanta High School’s Tamara Irving are coming up with creative ways to keep kids engaged.
Credit Catherine Mullins / for WABE

Atlanta Public Schools will continue with remote learning through the rest of 2020. That means students will spend the first half of the 2020-21 school year online. That’s caused teachers to try to come up with creative ways to keep their kids engaged.

One Step At A Time

Tamara Irving teaches dance at North Atlanta High School. Like every other teacher in APS, she’s teaching remotely this semester. Her advanced students are rehearsing for two upcoming performances. Irving shows them the steps via Zoom, and they repeat them. They do it without music at first and then add music once they’ve rehearsed a bit.

Of course, these students are used to rehearsing together instead of in their homes rehearsing via Zoom. However, Irving is confident they will do fine when they have to perform.

“This class has been dancing together for at least two years,” she says. “So, I know that they’ll probably click.”

Even so, she records herself for students to watch and imitate. Then the dancers record themselves so she can make sure they’re not confusing one foot with the other.

“When you’re learning virtually, sometimes you reverse things,” Irving says. “It probably will happen because it’s difficult.”

Irving said when she learned APS would begin the year remotely, she changed her approach to teaching this class.

“I’ve kind of shifted this year to more of a production-based class, as opposed to a technique-based class,” she says. “There is only so much we can do and also trying to keep students motivated.”

Motivation seems to be key to successful online learning. At the same time, Irving says, it can be a challenge because she’s not physically in front of her students.

“It’s really hard for these kids to actually get out of bed to attend class,” she says.

Sing, Sing a Song

Elementary school students may have more energy than high schoolers, but keeping them engaged in class can also be challenging.

Emily Backus teaches music at Mary Lin Elementary School. Obviously, it would be easier for her to teach in a school building equipped with musical instruments and good acoustics. But Backus comes up with activities her students probably wouldn’t do if they were in a school building.

“We’re going to do a musical scavenger hunt today,” she tells a third-grade class. “The first thing I would like you to find is something blue.”

Her students run to find their items. Backus has them describe what they found through song. She sings:

“What do you have, Stella?”

Stella sings back, “I have a marker.”

“Traditional music teaching is all about communal music-making happening at the same time, and Zoom makes that pretty impossible. So I’ve started to lean into opportunities to share. They all get really excited about sharing their ideas.”

Emily Backus, Music Teacher at Mary Lin Elementary School

Backus sings back and forth with a few more students, then asks the class to find more items. They add yellow, red, and green objects to their collection. They make patterns with the colors, then add percussion. Backus calls on them to play the rhythms they’ve created. She has no shortage of volunteers.

Backus says the shift to online learning has changed the way she plans for classes.

“Traditional music teaching is all about communal music-making happening at the same time, and Zoom makes that pretty impossible,” she says. “So I’ve started to lean into opportunities to share. They all get really excited about sharing their ideas.”

APS teachers will continue to navigate remote learning until January, at least. The school district says the earliest it will resume in-person classes is January 5. (Nick Nesmith/WABE)

Backus says it has also been easier to get her students to sing out loud on Zoom than it might be in person.

“I’ve been really impressed by how willing and excited they are to sing by themselves,” she says. “Sometimes that’s difficult to get kids to do, especially as they get older. But I think on Zoom, because there’s not the self-consciousness of, ‘Everyone’s here, and they can see me.’ It’s been kind of a strange benefit of teaching online.”

A Figure Of Speech

One of the biggest challenges of virtual learning seems to be keeping kids interested in school while they’re in their homes.

Fifth-grade teacher Krystal Wells makes sure her kids participate in class by having them answer questions in Zoom’s chat feature. During a lesson on figurative language, she asks her reading class at Tuskegee Global Airmen Academy to identify similes and metaphors. (They compare two things. Similes use the words “like” or “as.”)

Wells, who has decorated her Zoom screen like her classroom, shows her students several examples from a book they’re reading in class called “One Crazy Summer” by Rita Williams-Garcia.

“Let’s look at [this] example,” Wells says to her class. “’The rain felt like small kisses on my face.’ Simile or metaphor?”

Krystal Wells teaches fifth grade at Tuskegee Global Airmen Academy. She uses Zoom’s chat feature to check her students’ comprehension. (Jonathon Kelso/ for WABE)

They type either ‘s’ for simile or ‘m’ for metaphor in the chat feature. As the answers come in, Wells responds.

“Yes! Simile! Yes,” she says.

The class goes over why the phrase is a simile: the rain is being compared to kisses, using the word ‘like.’

Wells says using the chat feature helps her check students’ comprehension.

“When you’re in a classroom, [students are] like, ‘Oh, pick me, pick me!’” she says. “Then you have the shy one…in the back, like, ‘Don’t pick me because I don’t want to get a wrong answer.’”

Wells says, for some kids, this can be an advantage of online learning.

“It’s almost like it gives an opportunity to kind of step out of that comfort zone and participate and share their voice and their opinions,” she says.

APS teachers will continue to navigate remote learning until January, at least. The school district says the earliest it will resume in-person classes is January 5.

Meanwhile, some nearby districts like Fulton, Cobb, and Gwinnett counties have resumed some form of face-to-face learning.

California School District Bans ‘To Kill a Mockingbird,’ ‘Huckleberry Finn,’ Other Classic Novels

California School District Bans ‘To Kill a Mockingbird,’ ‘Huckleberry Finn,’ Other Classic Novels

Nov 16, 2020 by

The Burbank Unified School District in California has banned several classic literary works that contain racial slurs. To Kill A Mockingbird and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn are two of the classics on the district’s new list of banned books.

According to a report by Newsweek, a school district in Burbank, California, has banned several classic books that contain racial slurs. The list includes: To Kill a Mockingbird, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Of Mice and Men, The Cay and Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry

The decision was motivated, in part, by an alleged incident in which a student used a racial slur he learned in the book Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry. “My family used to own your family and now I want a dollar from each of you for the week,” one student reportedly said to a black classmate.

PEN America, a non-profit organization dedicated to literature, argued in a petition that it was inappropriate to ban the books.

“Each of the books in question deal with difficult subject matter from our country’s complicated and painful history, including systemic racism,” the petition reads. “Blocking engagement with these important books is also avoiding the important role that schools can and should play in providing context for why these books inspire and challenge us still today.”

The Burbank Unified School District is hardly the first school district to ban literary works that contain racial slurs. Breitbart News reported in December 21017 that a Mississippi school district banned To Kill a Mockingbird over its use of racial slurs. A school district in Virginia banned both Mockingbird and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn in 2016.

Stay tuned to Breitbart News for more updates on this story.

Election Rigging – Part 2

Election Rigging – Part 2

Nov 16, 2020 by

Forget rigged polls: Internet voting is the real election threat | Reveal

“Election Rigging – Part 2”

By Henry W. Burke

11.16.20

To see “Election Rigging – Part 1,” please go to this link — /election-rigging/

Even though the Mainstream Media has called the election for Joe Biden, President Trump supporters should not be discouraged.  Because the election rigging was on such a massive scale, the evidence is overwhelming! Hundreds of Americans have filed affidavits certifying election fraud; and scores of attorneys are volunteering their services to aid Trump’s legal effort. 

Based on the precedence of previous rulings, the Supreme Court can consider statistical evidence of fraud and can correct election results.  The truth will prevail, and the Supreme Court will rule in President Trump’s favor! This will go down as the most corrupt election in American history!

1. Dominion Voting Systems – Machines and Software

Dominion voting machines are used in 2,000 jurisdictions in 30 states. The system is not safe from fraudulent manipulation; the software was specifically designed to rig elections.  Because of these problems, Texas rejected using Dominion three times. Millions of votes were shifted by this software.

Attorney Sidney Powell (part of the Trump legal team)  stated on Sunday, 11.15.20:

“I never say anything I can’t prove. Hundreds of thousands of Americans have stepped forward with their different instances of voter fraud. This is a massive voter fraud. The Dominion software was used by other election machines also. The software was the problem. Even the manual explains how votes can be wiped away. They also have an algorithm to calculate the votes they would need to flip, and they used the computers to flip those votes. When the votes are really audited and the real votes are counted, Trump will win. He is the President!” — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oi13x6_Ki3o&feature=youtu.be

2. Paper Ballot Fraud Supplemented with Electronic Fraud

When Nick Chase went to bed at 1:30 am. on November 4, President Trump was ahead in Wisconsin by 2 % and ahead in Michigan by 3 %.  When he woke up at 4:30 a.m., Trump’s lead had shrunk to 1 % in Wisconsin and 1.5 % in Michigan.  (Nick Chase is an active writer, editor, and webmaster.) He stated:

“But what really startled me was that Biden’s raw vote total had increased substantially in both states, and Trump’s raw vote total had not changed at all!  That is an enormous red flag for fraud being committed, and I knew right away that the Democrats, who had failed at dislodging Trump from office by impeachment, were now going to deny him victory by stealing the election.” — https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2020/11/examining_the_code_internet_geeks_conclude_trumps_win_was_yuuuge.html

As Nick Chase describes it, the crooked Democrats thought they had created enough fraudulent paper ballots to win easily. With President Trump still leading in the upper Midwest, they had to switch or destroy enough votes electronically to give Biden enough votes to win.  However, with Trump pulling ahead, electronic fraud was shifted into “overdrive.”  The researchers (Trump team) concluded that huge numbers of votes were switched electronically from Trump to Biden!

Here is another election oddity. Six battleground states paused election counting on election night (Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Georgia, and Nevada).  Quite likely, the Democrats needed some time to do their dirty deeds of “creating more Biden votes.” This was a coordinated effort by the Democrats to rig the voting machines and computers to switch votes from Trump to Biden. — https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/11/six-battleground-states-democrat-governors-pause-counting-election-night-coordinated/

There might not be enough time to crawl through every vote by hand (a recount); but experts in big data analysis are already documenting the massive fraud which took place in the 2020 Election, such as the same ballots being rescanned 4 or 5 times. 

3. Voting Machine Manipulation

Most of the computers used for voting in America have a built-in mechanism that allows votes to be weighted in favor of a candidate.

If someone tells a computer to change the election outcome, the computer’s processes will create unnatural data trails that prove human intervention in the vote counts. That happened in three Michigan counties (Oakland, Macomb, and Kent counties).

Ballots going into the system can be fraudulent because of dead voters, fake voters, and faked ballots. The Democrats promoted mail-in voting, pushed for no voter ID,  and deliberately failed to check voter signatures.

4. Vote-counting Machine Irregularities 

Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai (MIT Ph.D. engineer) works with Bennie Smith (software engineer and election commissioner) and Phil Evans (engineer and inventor).  Dr.  Ayyadurai explained these systems in a videohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ztu5Y5obWPk&feature=emb_logo

1). Most vote counting computers are fraught with errors.

2). The computers take a snapshot of each ballot. By law, the snapshots must be saved for 22 months; but Democrat counties and states deleted them immediately.

3). Voters have no idea if the computer correctly read their ballot.

4). Almost all voting machines ( including the Dominion machines) are programmed with a “weighted race feature.”  This allows the computer to multiply a candidate’s actual votes.  For example, the computer could automatically multiply every Joe Biden vote by 1.5, 2.0, or whatever.

5). Dr. Ayyadurai analyzed four counties in Michigan.  In three of the four Michigan counties (Oakland, Macomb, and Kent Counties), the machines systematically took votes away from Trump and gave those votes to Biden. Those counties are heavily Republican.

6). In Oakland, Macomb, and Kent Counties, Trump’s margin was reduced by at least 138,000 votes.  (As if by “magic,” Trump’s total was decreased by 69,000 votes; and Biden’s total was amazingly increased by the same number — 69,000 votes.)  If this vote theft occurred for the other 80 counties in Michigan, the potential theft was huge!

7). Here is the kicker: In heavily Democrat Wayne County, the machine did not steal Trump votes; yet he overperformed there. Why? Because the Democrats did not need to switch votes in Wayne County to win…

8). Biden supposedly won by less than 3 % in Michigan.  Without the voting machine manipulation and illegal votes, President Trump would have easily taken Michigan!

5. Election Recommendations

Dr. Ayyadurai concluded and recommended the following — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ztu5Y5obWPk&feature=emb_logo

Need for:

  • Verifiable inputs: e.g., Permanent Voter Registration Card
  • Open source software
  • Handmarked Paper Ballots
  • Save ballot images pursuant to Federal Law
  • Publish ballot images publicly (allows for public recount)
  • Automatic audits – audit every election
  • Publish precinct level data (“poll tapes”) on election night

6. Numerous Ballots with No Down Ballot Candidates

It is typical that most voters will completely fill out their ballots. Besides voting for President, they will typically vote at least for their Senators and Congressmen. Sidney Powell stated on Sunday, 11.8.20, that:

“They have identified at least 450,000 ballots in the key states that miraculously only have a mark for Joe Biden on them, and no other candidate. If you look at Florida where everything was done right, you can see how the rest of the country should have gone.”

*Conclusion: The fraudsters ran out of time and marked only Joe Biden on the ballots they manufactured for him:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oi13x6_Ki3o&feature=youtu.be

7. President Trump’s Legal Challenges

President Trump announced on November 14 that Sidney Powell has been added to the President Trump re-election campaign’s legal team.  Scores of attorneys are volunteering to aid President Trump’s legal effort. —  https://www.theepochtimes.com/trump-adds-sidney-powell-to-election-legal-effort_3579347.html?utm_source=news&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=breaking-2020-11-15-2

Sidney Powell says that they have enough evidence to launch a massive criminal investigation.  Clearly, Dominion Voting Systems will be a major target of the Trump legal team’s scrutiny.

More than likely, the Trump lawyers will press for a full election recount and audit. An audit will determine if the election was administered properly and that the equipment functioned correctly. Because an audit will resolve systemic issues, the Trump campaign team will probably pursue an audit rather than a simple recount.

*Message to Joe Biden:  “Instead of measuring the White House curtains, you might want to set aside some bail money for you and your Democrat buddies!”

U.S. Presidential Election: Open your eyes!

U.S. Presidential Election: Open your eyes!

Nov 16, 2020 by

The result of the U.S. presidential election marks the triumph, not of the Democrats and a senile senator, but of the Puritan current over the Jacksonians. It does not reflect the political views of American citizens and masks the crisis of civilization in which their country is sinking.

JPEG - 29.4 kb
Joe Biden, 46th President of the United States of America

The U.S. presidential election of 2020 confirms the general trend since the dissolution of the Soviet Union: the U.S. population is going through a crisis of civilization and is inexorably heading inexorably towards a new civil war that should logically lead to the partition of the country. This instability should result in the end of the West as a hyper-power.

In order to understand what is happening, it is necessary to overcome the fear of the European elites in the face of the impending disappearance of the power that has protected them for three-quarters of a century; and to look honestly at the world history of the last thirty years. It is necessary to go back into US history and reread its Constitution.

The hypothesis of the dissolution of NATO and the United States of America

When, after three-quarters of a century of undivided dictatorship, the Soviet Union collapsed, all those who wanted it to disappear were surprised. For years, the CIA had organized systematic sabotage of its economy and denigrated all its achievements, but it never foresaw that it was the Soviet people who would overthrow this regime in the name of its ideals.

It all began with a catastrophe to which the state failed to respond. (Chernobyl, 1986). A population of a quarter of a million people had to flee their land for good. This incompetence marked the end of the dictatorship’s legitimacy. In the five years that followed, the allies of the Warsaw Pact regained their independence and the USSR broke up. This process was led from start to finish by the Young Communists, but at the last moment it was taken over by the mayor of Moscow, Boris Yelstin, and his team trained in Washington. The ensuing looting of public property and the economic collapse it caused set the new Russia back a century.

This is how the United States should in turn disappear. They will lose their centripetal strength and be abandoned by their vassals, before collapsing. Those who will have left the ship before it sinks will have a better chance of escaping. NATO should die before the USA, just as the Warsaw Pact died before the USSR.

The centrifugal force of the United States

The United States is a very young country, it has only two hundred years of history of its own. Its population continues to grow with successive arrivals of immigrants from the most diverse parts of the world. According to the British model, each one retains its own culture and does not mix with the others. The concept of the “melting pot” only existed with the return of the black soldiers of the Second World War and the abolition of racial segregation, which under Eisenhower and Kennedy it brought about, only to disappear afterwards.

The U.S. population moves widely from state to state. From the First World War until the end of the Vietnam War, they tried to live together in certain neighborhoods. For about twenty years, it has remained static. And since the break-up of the USSR to the present day, it has been ghettoizing again, no longer along “racial” lines, but along cultural ones. In fact, the country is already divided.

The United States no longer forms one nation, but already eleven separate ones.

The inner conflict of Anglo-Saxon culture

American mythology links the existence of the country to the 67 “Pilgrim Fathers”, the immigrants of the Mayflower. They were a group of fanatical English Christians who lived in a “community” in the Netherlands. They were given the mission by the Crown to settle in the “New World” to fight the Spanish Empire. One of their groups landed in Massachusetts and built a sectarian society, the Colony of Plymouth (1620). They veiled their wives and used harsh corporal punishment for those who sinned and strayed from the “Pure Way”, hence their name “Puritans”.

Americans ignore both the political mission of the Pilgrim Fathers and their sectarianism. However, they celebrate them on Thanksgiving. These 67 fanatics had a considerable influence on a country of today 328 million inhabitants. 8 presidents out of 46 are their direct descendants, including President Franklin Roosevelt or Presidents George Bush.

The Puritans organized a revolution in England around Lord Oliver Cromwell. They beheaded the king, founded an intolerant Republic, the Commonwealth, and massacred the “heretical” (papist) Irish. These events are referred to by British historians as the “First Civil War” (1642-51).

More than a century later, the settlers of the New World revolted against the crushing tax burden of the British monarchy (1775-83). These events are known to American historians as the “War of Independence”, but British historians see them as the “Second Civil War”. Indeed, if the settlers who fought this war were poor, hard-working people, those who organized it were descendants of the Pilgrim Fathers who wanted to assert their sectarian ideal against the restored British monarchy.

Eighty years later, the United States was torn apart by the Civil War (1861-65), which some American historians refer to as the Anglo-Saxon “Third Civil War. It pitted the states, who, true to the original constitution, wanted to maintain tariffs among themselves, against other states who wanted to shift tariffs to the federal level and thus create a large internal market. However, it also pitted the Puritan elites of the North against the Catholic elites of the South, so that the cleavages of the two previous wars were repeated.

The Anglo-Saxon “Fourth Civil War,” which is taking shape today, is still being waged by the Puritan elites. What masks this continuity is the transformation of these elites who no longer believe in God, but retain the same fanaticism. They are the ones who are now dedicated to rewriting the history of their country. According to them, the United States is a racist project of the Europeans that the “Pilgrim Fathers” have not managed to correct. They are convinced that it is necessary to re-establish the “Pure Way” by destroying all the symbols of Evil such as the statues of the Monarchs, the English and the Confederates. They speak of “political correctness,” claim that there are several human “races,” write “black” with a capital “black” and “white” in lower case, and rush to the abstruse supplements of the New York Times.

The recent history of the United States

Every country has its demons. President Richard Nixon was convinced that the first danger the United States had to prevent was not a nuclear war with the USSR, but this possible Anglo-Saxon “Fourth Civil War. He surrounded himself with the specialist on the subject, the historian Kevin Phillips, who was his electoral adviser and allowed him to accede twice to the US presidency. However, the heirs of the Pilgrim Fathers did not accept his fight and made him sink into the Watergate scandal (1972), brought to light by the deputy and successor of J. Edgar Hoover after his re-election.

When US power began to run out of steam, the imperialist lobby, dominated by the Puritans, placed in power one of the direct descendants of the 67 Pilgrim Fathers, Republican George Bush Jr.. He organized an emotional shock (the attacks of September 11, 2001) and adapted the armies to the new financial capitalism, under the tetanized gaze of his fellow citizens. His successor, Democrat Barack Obama, continued his work by adapting the economy. To do this, he chose the bulk of the team for his first term of office from among the members of Pilgrim’s Society (the Pilgrim’s Association).

A disruptive event occurred in 2016. A television presenter who had challenged the transformation of capitalism and the September 11 attacks, Donald Trump, ran for president. He won first the Republican Party and then the White House. All those who had brought down Richard Nixon came after him even before he took office. They managed to prevent his re-election by clumsily stuffing the ballot boxes. What is important is that during his term of office, centuries of unsaid things resurfaced. The U.S. population has once again fractured around the Puritans.

Therefore, while it is obvious that a majority of Americans did not enthusiastically vote for a senator who is senile, it seems to me wrong to say that this election of 2020 was a referendum for or against Trump. It was actually a referendum for or against the Puritans.

A result in line with the Pilgrim Fathers’ project

When the War of Independence or Second Anglo-Saxon Civil War was over, the successors of the Pilgrim Fathers wrote the Constitution. They made no secret of their desire to create an aristocratic system on the English model, nor of their contempt for the people. This is why the Constitution of the United States does not recognize the sovereignty of the people, but that of the governors.

The people, who had fought and won the war, accepted this state of affairs, but imposed ten amendments, the Bill of Rights, according to which the ruling class could in no way violate the rights of citizens in the name of an alleged “raison d’état”. The amended constitution still applies.

If one is willing to acknowledge that, constitutionally, the United States is not and never has been a democracy, there is no reason to be outraged at the outcome of the elections. Although it is not provided for in the constitution, the popular vote for the presidential election has gradually become the norm in every state in the last two centuries. Governors are required to follow the guidelines of the popular ballot when appointing their 538 delegates to the Presidential Electoral College. As a result, some Governors have stuffed the ballot boxes without much expertise: in more than one county in 10, the number of voters is higher than the number of adult residents. With all due respect to commentators, it is therefore perfectly impossible to say how many voters actually voted and who they would have liked to be president.

A bleak future

Under these conditions, President-elect Joe Biden will not be able to ignore the justified fury of his challenger’s supporters. He will not be able to reunite his people. I wrote four years ago that Trump would be the Gorbachev of the United States. I was wrong; he has been able to breathe new life into his country. In the end, it will be Joe Biden who will have to take the blame for failing to maintain the territorial unity of his country.

The Allies who do not see the catastrophe coming will pay a heavy price.

Our Last Chance at Survival

Our Last Chance at Survival

Nov 15, 2020 by

Rob Pue

I told you — and everyone knew — that this election was GOING to be contested, regardless of who was named as “President-elect.” It’s sad that we’ve arrived a place in America now where we EXPECT all of our elections to be fraudulent. Over the past several elections, there have been blatant improprieties. The election — or perhaps better stated — the SELECTION of Barack Hussein Obama in 2008 (and 2012) was highly suspect. Both times, there were multiple large cities around the country in which his opponent did not receive even one single vote. Yet nothing was ever done about it. It was reported, but there was never any investigation and literally a day later there was no mention of it anymore at all. The Republicans simply quit. Many citizens were outraged, yet their voices were never heard and there was no justice.

I find it incredibly outrageous and hypocritical now, after Democrats have spent three years and 40 million taxpayer dollars trying to prove Donald Trump stole the 2016 election from Hillary Clinton through voter fraud and collusion with Russia — and after ALL OF THAT, there was never an ounce of evidence to be found — that they’re now saying the idea of voter fraud on the part of Democrats is simply “impossible.” “Outrageous,” they say. “How DARE you imply anything improper was done anywhere in this election!” They have the nerve to assert they hold such moral “highground” that they would never stoop to such tactics. Friends, over this past year, it has become ABSOLUTELY clear and plain for anyone with eyes to see that the Democrats are ABSOLUTELY corrupt to the core — haters of God, nothing but sheer disdain for America and our Constitution and with a seriously unbridled hatred for Donald Trump.

I’m compiling this message on November 6th — three days after election day. As of this time, no “winner” has yet been declared, but the mainstream media outlets are showing their extreme Left-wing bias again as they are sickeningly “rooting” for Joe Biden on every TV newscast, in every mainstream newspaper and on every network radio channel. Not to mention the ongoing censorship and lies on most all social media and internet search engines. They’re all CLEARLY “chomping at the bit” to get the “go ahead” to pronounce Biden the “winner.” They can’t hardly wait. The fake news and lying media in this country have been complicit in all of this, and should be held as accountable for election tampering as those who, I believe, have been working for months now, filling out fake ballots and stockpiling them in warehouses, preparing them to be “dumped” into the official record as needed.

And for those of you who think Fox News is our “fair and balanced” “savior,” you need to open your eyes. Because this so-called “conservative” news network has been compromised for many years. You DO realize that it is now part of the Disney Corporation, don’t you? Yes, Disney, which has worked tirelessly for years to indoctrinate young children with subtle — and not-so-sublte — Leftist ideologies and propaganda. They promote witchcraft, the occult, earth-worship, and worse. Disney has also become infamous in recent years for their highly-promoted “Gay Days,” which openly celebrate sodomy, “framing” that abomination in a colorful, “kid-friendly” way so as to recruit more little children into hell.

Some may consider this trivial, but I don’t: on election night, Fox News featured photo images of the two candidates as they tallied the electoral votes. Constantly on the screen was an image of a happy, smiling, lovable Joe Biden on top; beneath that photo was an image of Donald Trump — probably the worst photo of him ever taken, showing him scowling, snarling and looking like the meanest, ugliest “villain” you’ve ever seen. Those hosting the broadcast on election night were clearly disgusted every time they were FORCED to “call” a state for the president. Their Left-wing bias was also clearly obvious when, early on in the evening, they called the state of Virginia for Biden, with only 1% of the vote counted there and the president UP by more than a 2-to-1 margin.

At 3:00 am Wednesday morning, all the battleground states suddenly stopped counting as it was getting a little scary for the Democrats. It was looking like Donald Trump was going to win re-election. Notably, all of these states are governed by Democrats. Then, at 4:30 in the morning, counting began again, but suddenly — immediately — Joe Biden was ahead in all those states, by tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands of votes. So while Americans slept, SOMEBODY pulled the “old switch-a-roo.”

How did this happen? Citizen reporters and poll watchers have released videos taken in the middle of the night showing vans pulling up to polling places in each of these states — workers unloading crates of ballots and carrying them inside. In multiple states, it’s been reported that thousands of mail-in ballots were suddenly “found” — but not ONE of those mail-in ballots that mysteriously appeared were for Trump.

For example, they “found” 138,000 votes in Michigan and 120,000 votes in Wisconsin between 3:00 and 4:30 am — and NOT ONE vote for Trump was found in any of those. In Wisconsin, 41,206 MORE votes were counted than there are registered voters… so far. They’re not finished yet.

Now, let’s go back to October 24th — just ten days before election day. Joe Biden was addressing his followers on live video as he read from a written statement. He stated, “We’re in a situation where we have put together, and you guys did it …for President Obama’s administration before this… We have put together, I think, the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics.”

I’ve stated before that those on the side of Satan ALWAYS tell us what they’re going to do, what they are planning, BEFORE they do it. It seems to be a “rule” for them — they have to show their hand ahead of time, but usually, their statements are cloaked in mystery. In this case, he clearly said what he said. There’s no doubt, and you can still find this video all over the internet. (I’m amazed it hasn’t been banned and scrubbed from existence by now, but it’s still there). Of course, the fake “fact checkers” immediately came out and said Biden “misspoke” and his comments were taken out of context, and what he REALLY meant to say was that they put together a system to make sure voter fraud did NOT take place. Really? The man is READING a written statement right in front of him! I believe he slipped up (how many times has THAT happened?) and actually told us the truth.

On Wednesday, courts ruled that Republican poll watchers must be allowed to supervise the remaining ballot counts in the battleground states. Yet city police, county sheriffs and election boards across the country have defied these court rulings and have NOT allowed oversight of ballot counting. In some cases, the counting continues yet today, behind closed doors. Windows covered over with cardboard. Poll watchers that HAVE been allowed to be present have been told to stay 30 to 100 feet away from the workers — forced to see whatever they’re able to see — with binoculars! One poll watcher in Philadelphia observed multiple workers dumping ballots in a large trash container in the corner of the room. When he was told by election officials there he could not video tape these activities, he was forcibly removed from the facility. All this is in defiance of court orders.

In Wisconsin, one person reported that they were standing in line to receive their ballot and the man in front of them was questioned by poll workers. They said, “our records show that you requested a mail-in ballot. Did you not receive it?” He replied, “Yes I received it, but I never filled it out.” They then handed him a ballot and he proceeded to vote. In other instances, postal workers have come forward stating they’ve been ordered to hand-stamp mail-in ballots with the postmark “November 3rd” even though they arrived days later, so that those “late” ballots — that are now hitting post offices in all the battleground states by the pallet load — can still be counted. There are also countless instances where the signatures on the election sheets do not match the signatures on the voter registration forms, yet these are never questioned.

Rumors are circulating that the OFFICIAL mail-in ballots contained a “watermark” — and if copied to produce additional “fake” ballots, that watermark would not reproduce. Therefore, it would be easy to identify fake ballots in the system. I don’t know if that’s true or not, but maybe we’ll see in the coming days and weeks.

President Trump’s legal team has started litigation in many states, and he absolutely should. Yet even when the courts have ruled in his favor regarding poll watchers and vote counting, the city, county, state and other election officials have thumbed their noses at those courts and defied the rulings — continuing the questionable ballot counting, ALWAYS in favor of Joe Biden.

It is sheer insanity to believe that this election was not fraudulent. Two days before the election, Donald Trump had 57,000 people at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. One day before the election, 27,000 attended his rally in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Some say that rally attendance has nothing to do with people actually following through and voting. But I have BEEN at Trump rallies. The people there are patriotic Americans, and enthusiasm has been through the roof. God is always honored at Trump rallies. Every one opens with prayer, and references — not just to God, but to JESUS CHRIST — are prevalent throughout the events.

When I went to vote, I arrived at my polling place at 6:30 in the morning. Polls opened at 7. The large parking lot at our municipal center was already packed, and the line of people standing in the early-morning cold stretched to the end of the parking lot. By the time the doors opened, the line of people stretched OUT of the parking lot, down the street and out to the highway. There was an incredible amount of enthusiasm for this election. Were all those standing in line with me voting for Trump? Of course not. But compare a Trump rally, with 57,000 people in Butler, Pennsylvania (a town of 12,000 people) to a Biden rally in a major metropolitan area, with EIGHT to TWELVE people (which was typical). In Texas, days before the election there was a Trump car-parde that stretch for 97 MILES. You tell me which voters were most enthusiastic and likely to vote.

Understand this: I do NOT “worship” Donald Trump. I am often frustrated by his gruff language and I’m upset that he was not able to “drain the swamp” as he promised, bringing justice to those who continue, even to this day to commit treason and sedition against our country. But never before in my lifetime have I witnessed a president so hated, without reason, and so persecuted at every turn, every single day by Leftist God-haters, Socialists, Marxists, Communists, New World Order Globalists and career politicians on both sides.

I wish he would have done more to defund Planned Parenthood. I wish he would have had the courage to state that sodomy is unnatural and an abomination. I wish he would have “locked her up!” I wish he would have done a lot of things that he didn’t accomplish. But look at all he DID accomplish for America — and all that IN SPITE of constant, daily attacks from every single direction. The last four years, I believe, were a “reprieve” — a last chance for America to repent of it’s apathy and for the Church to rise up and take back the ground the devil has stolen. But we failed. Don’t blame Trump for the stuff that never got done. Look in the mirror. What did WE do to push back against the forces of darkness when we had the chance? I’ll tell you what we did: we kept our mouths shut, we self-quarantined, we wore our masks, like compliant fearful sheep.

This election is absolutely the most important America will ever see. Because if Trump is not re-elected, it WILL be because of massive corruption and massive voter fraud at every level. I haven’t even gotten into all the various other things the Democrats used to create their “most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics,” such as the computer software known as “The Hammer.” (Look it up — you will be stunned). Yes, if Trump loses this, we all lose. America will have become a third-world “banana republic.”

What’s worse, we’ll then be handed over to the New World Order Globalists and Communist China. Mandatory masking will never go away. Vaccines will absolutely be mandatory. You will not be allowed to travel, buy or sell without them, or most likely, even leave your home — or the internment camp they place you in. Churches will be closed and forced underground. The first and second amendments will only be the first and second parts of our Constitution to be sliced and diced. Mark my words.

This is a battle for our nation and the freedom we have enjoyed for so long, by the grace of Almighty God. Perhaps saddest of all, 47% of professing evangelical Christians did NOT bother to vote in this election — on par with all previous elections. That equates to about 48 MILLION votes. Do you think that might have made a difference?

2nd Corinthians reminds us, “…where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.” That’s the Holy Spirit, folks. The same Holy Spirit, the same Jesus, the same GOD that the Leftist demons spit upon daily. The same Christ that they HATE and rage against with a seriously unreasonable hatred. This is a spiritual battle. It may be playing out today in “American politics” but if you don’t clearly see the marked difference between those with the Holy Spirit of God and those with the spirit of Satan, the spirit of anti-Christ, then I question your salvation. This isn’t so much about Trump as it is about a CHOICE between good and evil, between God and Satan. Between liberty and enslavement. Between life and death. If the Democrats steal this, THERE WILL NEVER BE ANY LIBERTY IN AMERICA AGAIN. This is our last chance at survival. We need to ALL be on our knees in prayer right now, and we better all be prepared because I fear this spirital battle is about to be played out in the physical realm. The true remnant of God will not forsake Him — or our nation. Patriots WILL rise up to defend it, and given the viciousness of our wicked opponents, it’s not going to be pleasant. May justice and righteousness prevail.
