February 15th is Presidents’ Day.
America has two Presidents on this day, besides Washington and Lincoln.
One half of the country believes Trump rightfully won.
Yet the events of Jan. 6th still hang like a cloud over Washington.
Critics fault his claims of a stolen election for provoking the protests.
But what if the Democrats really did steal the election? Wouldn’t the fault be theirs?
And how can we know whether they really stole it?
Claims of “Massive fraud” on one side vs. “No sign of fraud” on the other — who is right?
One thing is crystal clear:
Unconstitutional, illegal changes to voting laws generated millions of irregular ballots — a hundred times greater than the margin between the candidates, in some swing states. If the balloting is illegal, there is no way the count can be correct.
An unconstitutional vote can only produce an unconstitutional result. Everything that followed — the certification of the popular vote, the electoral college vote, and the inauguration — none of these steps had any legal foundation.
Bad data makes bad decisions. Since Nov. 3, our machinery of government has been spinning off course on erroneous, unlawful inputs.
The only solution in such cases is to correct the error.
Until runoff elections are held in conformity with the law, we will still have two Presidents.
Only one of them can be the rightful one.
Simple enough. The Election should be held according to Rule of Law. That means all invalid ballots tossed. You don’t need a runoff.
You need courts that do their sworn duty. Allow the presentation of the cases in each state to present the facts and it is massive proof.
Then, the illegal votes will be excised from the tallies. In which case, Trump is the President.
The reason why the courts refused standing and wouldn’t hear the cases was they are as crooked as Congress and as corrupted as Epstein, Clinton and Biden’s family. Rancid institutions cannot deliver justice.
Agree, and the false flag ‘insurrection” was arranged in order to prevent the massive evidence of election fraud from being presented in the Senate, which was the last chance for it to be unavoidably be seen by the public.
But how in hell are we going to get a recount now with the criminal cabal fully in charge?
Consider what transpired last week in a phone call between Biden, Fauci, and the governor of Florida (as reported by James Howard Kunstler. ( https://kunstler.com/clusterfuck-nation/unity/ )
. . . a telephone parley between Mr. Biden and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis over the governor’s refusal to lockdown his state. The world-famous Dr. Fauci was also on the call, in which Mr. Biden threatened to curtail American citizens travel to Florida by road and air — since an offshoot of Covid-19 policy has been to drive a huge demographic exodus from the economically failing states of New York, Illinois, and California down there. He also threatened to withhold federal funding to Florida and deny the state access to Covid-19 vaccines. Dr. Fauci chimed in, “Governor, do you want to be responsible for reinfecting the nation? Truth is, we don’t even know how effective current vaccines are against the UK strain.”
DeSantis told Dr. Fauci he trusted his own state health authorities over financially incentivized federal officials. The conclusion of the conference call went like this:
How much do you stand to earn from these vaccines, Dr. Fauci? And, Joe, if you continue with this course of action, I will authorize the state National Guard to protect the movement of Floridians,” DeSantis said.
“Address me as Mr. President or President Biden,” Biden said.
“I will not, and you can go fuck yourself,” DeSantis said before hanging up.
Is it that simple to tell which votes are illegal?
In most cases it may be completely impossible.
The manner of holding the election and mailing out ballots was illegal, so when you start from that point, everything that followed was illegal.
Except for the votes that would have been cast if the election had been held according to law.
But how could one tell the difference by looking at them?
There are two ways to identify illegal votes. Ballets are secret ballots. Thus there is no identification on the ballot itself. Instead there is a signature on the envelope the ballot is mailed in. This signature must be matched with a signature on record for the individual. If the signature is not valid, the ballot is not counted. If, after the mail in ballots are counted, a signature check reveals that there are more ballots than the margin of victory then the result of the election is not valid regardless of who was named on the ballots. In past elections this figure has usually been around six percent of mail in ballots. In this election it was under one percent. Six percent in the swing state mail in ballots would have tossed out the election results in the swing states requiring the House of Congress to decide the winner of the election on a one vote per state. The Republicans control more states in the House than the Democrats. When the mail in ballots in the swing states were counted, the Democrats prevented the Republican observers from verifying the signatures. Now they want to prevent an audit from checking the signatures. (The envelopes have not been thrown out. They are required to be kept for a period of time after the election.)
The other way to check ballots is to look at them. All the ballots were scanned and there is a file in each swing state with a scan of each ballot. If one ballot was scanned say twenty times or if some ballots don’t have serial numbers, it would show up if the files were published for all to see.
The democrats don’t want a signature check or the ballots to be viewed in the swing states. Is there any chance that they might have something to hide?
so, what? both will be kneeling down to the same puppet master: oncle Shumuel.
No quite, notwithstanding the issue you raise. The globalists visceral hatred of Trump stems from his (mild) anti-globalist stand. Can’t have nationalism in this day and age – and My God – Tariffs!
The only reason why uncle prefers Biden is that Dementia Biden is more pliable to its wishes: war on Iran for the sake of Israel.
Trump bent but not so much: sanctions yes , the more the merrier, threats yes, fire and brimstone, assassinations yes of course, the specialty of the house, but war hmm, USA cannot afford war, go it alone uncle, sorry.
Dementia might just go along with Lloyd Austin to dispel any suspicion of white privilege.
Ideal candidate, deprived of judgement.
Yes Boris… My reason for wanting Biden over Trump was that I saw the destruction of the US empire a more likely and quicker prospect under Biden than Trump. Trump … ‘Make America Great Again’ was an empire statment even though he made efforts to islolate the US whereas Biden .. who is merely a puppet for the continuation for the empire would amplify exactly those motivations that has seen the empire slowly destroy iteself. I imagined Biden’s administration would produce a faster result for the destruction of the US empire than a Trump operation. I also believe the Biden people are definately more likely to make a mistake. That the Biden Admin is a more cowardly and self interested Administration is self-evident and that was my reasoning.
I also beleive the American people are sick and tired of the empire, human rights, Israel and ‘spreading democracy’ ideas when folk are starving and living in the streets while others cannot count their bank account totals.
Don’t care anymore. Trump lost my support when he failed to pardon Assange. Inexcusable.
Assange had 4 years to verify the DNC was not hacked by Russians. He waited until the last minute to speak about the download to a thumb drive.
He is master of his own destiny.
Trump had guns to his head and his family’s head regarding Snowden and Assange. He couldn’t do a lot of things because he was a captive of the Deep State.
Just look at how the military did not follow his direct orders, nor the FBI-DOJ.
Surely, given the scale of the claims of election fraud, a simple misunderstanding over what happened is impossible. Therefore, only two possibilities exist: 1) that the Democrats stole the election through massive, coordinated election fraud; or 2) the Republican Trumpists have orchestrated a massive, coordinated fraudulent campaign intended to overturn a legitimate Biden win.
Either way, someone is guilty of a massive conspiracy to undermine U.S. democracy (however flawed it is). So why no investigation? Especially when there was an investigation into Russiagate, despite the quite surreal and utterly flawed evidence put forward to support the claims of Russian interference. Surely if the Democrats were secure in the knowledge that no election fraud had taken place they would have jumped at the chance to prove that the allegations had no basis? It would have ticked every box in proving that Trump and his supporters would do anything to undermine democracy, as they claim. But there has been no investigation by any law enforcement agency, to my knowledge.
Given that a successful investigation, from a Democrat perspective, would have massively undermined the support for Trump amongst the American population who are not hard-core Trump supporters, wouldn’t that have given Biden the legitimacy most presidents would aim for? So why would the Democrats be so coy about looking into the truth of the matter?
The only conclusions I can come to is that a) election fraud occurred; and b) the Democrats are happy to have a polarized society in order to justify new laws to suppress and punish any opposition to their policies.
YES author – well said.
The US does have 2 Presidents – a walking corpse called Biden who only controls civil servants in DC, and Trump in Florida who controls the remainder still.
The fraudulent election result that Pence, McConnell and other allowed will only damage the GOP and the entire system to decades to come, but they don’t seem care as long as they get their payoffs.
Those in the Republican Party like McConnell who are on the globalist band wagon fail to understand in a country like the US that agenda is not saleable for the medium & long term. They got away with it for 40 years from 1973 via slow changes but a very large chunk of the population woken up to the fact it isnt in their interests and has done enormous damage.
Reports the past week that the Globalist Never Trumpers intend to start a new party they are kidding themselves as there will never be mass voter support for it. It will fail.
What is even more a concern is the fact the UK is also in a state of collapse – recent eco figures – and this vaccine and lockdown obsession – and its my opinion that Boris Johnson is nothing but a fool, along with most his cabinet. The Conservative Party will never get elected again after this. And the House of Windsor may also be turfed as well.
The current situation is 80% of the US States who voted for Trump wont follow instructions now from Biden. And if Biden tried to enforce things there – particularly in the South or Wild West States there would be trouble. The economies of the Democrat States particularly New York & California are collapsed and have little chance of recovery given their tax structure and the masses of immigrants there.
The courts and State legislatures must fix this by reviewing the election otherwise further chaos is coming.
I would also add they dont need runoff election but a proper examination of the voting that took place.
Well they got away with one coup in 1963 in Dallas, Texas why would anyone think that they couldn’t get away with another in 2020, the people stood still in 1963, and they will stand still for this one and all of those yet to come, !!!
Exactly, the coup in 1963 and the coup in 2020 were conducted for the same purpose, using different methods.
Two fundamental differences, though:
1. They blew JFK’s brains out, but (so far) Trump is still kicking.
2. The JFK conspiracy had people guessing what happened for decades, but the “Stolen Election” has left mountains of blatant in-your-face evidence that leaves no doubt at all exactly what took place.
Ultimately, what happens now depends entirely on how the American people respond to this over-the-top hijacking of their country.
Hijacking is the exact right word.
The Democrats are political terrorists, and should be dealt with as such.
The difference is this time they wont stand still for it.
In 1963 the US economy was at its maximum strength.
As of 2020 it isnt and that is the reason why Trump was elected.
And in 1963 the US public generally trusted the Govt and the press.
That has long gone.
And this is what the the Never Trumpers dont understand – they think because the got away with things in the past it will work this time.
Now Americans know how it feels when your get regime changed! Americans need to wake up and understand that war machine came home. As wise Athenian Historian, Thysidities once remarked, regarding Peloponnesian war: Tyranny Athens imposed on other, it finally imposed on itself!” American Ruling Class denied freedom to others for decades, from Iran in 1953 to Iraq in 2003 to Ukraine in 2014, while American it seems to me people slept, and now American people wake up and realize that their democratic choices are being taken away from them!
Also another thing: Noam Chomsky once remarked that the republican party is the greatest threat to life on Earth. I do not share this view. Judging by Russiagate hysteria of the previous years, the so called liberals, progressives, and the Democratic Party had proven themselves to be as much of threat to everyone everywhere, if not more. I think Americans even the ones who should know better, such as Noam Chomsky simply cannot emotionally accept the fact that the US is dictatorship, and that peoples will no longer matters. It always happens in other counties and not in America. One Russian observer once made an interesting remark few years ago, when observing Russiagate Hysteria:
“U.S. “liberals” and “progressives” hate Trump more than they value peace, and are not nearly as smart as they think they are. Professor of history Ivan I. Kurilla, who specializes in American studies at the European University in St. Petersburg, said anti-Trump Americans want to foist him on Russia — politically exiling the Orange Menace to somebody else’s country. “American liberals are so upset about Trump that they cannot believe he is a real product of American life,” said Kurilla. “They try to portray him as something created by Russia. This whole thing is about America, not Russia.””
Very interesting observation. The article is called: “Even Russian Dissidents Say Americans Have Gone Crazy Over Putin”
https://blackagendareport.com/even-russian-dissidents-say-americans-have-gone-crazy-over-putin
I recommend reading this. Even the ones who are not fans of Putin were disturbed by American Hysteria.
I will make one comment on this: I was listening to the interview by Chris Hedges (unfortunately cannot recall which one), where Mr. Hedges was speaking about Wikileaks and Podesta e-mails back in 2016. According to the leaked e-mails, it seems like Democratic party has stolen nomination from Bernie Sanders, and threw its weight behind Hillary Clinton. And to ensure Clinton win, Democratic party influenced Republican party candidate selection process to ensure that Donald Trump will be the candidate. Donald Trump was supposed to be a perfect foil for Hillary Clinton. Democrats gave America Trump. Democrats wanted Trump to be the candidate back in 2016. It explains a lot why Democrats went crazy over Trump. American elections were illegitimate in 2016. It should have been Bernie Sanders vs Ted Cruz or Jeb Bush on Republican side back in 2016. Most likely it would have been Bernie Sanders as winner of 2016 election and President for the last 4 years, instead of Trump. That is if US was a genuine democracy and respected people’s will. And it should have been Bernie Sanders also in 2020 as a Democratic Party candidate.
What is needed is mass mobilization in the streets. Millions of people day in and day out in front of the white house, capitol, pentagon, doing massive acts of civil disobedience. I agree with Chris Hedges. No revolution succeeds, until significant part of Ruling class apparatus defects. Like it happened 30 years ago in Eastern Germany. Honecker sent his elite paratroopers back in 1989 to quash protests and the paratroopers refused to fire. Honecker was out of power within a week. Once the footsoldiers of Anglo Zioniste elite, police and the military refuse orders and defect, the elites are finished!
Once the footsoldiers of Anglo Zioniste elite, police and the military refuse orders and defect, the elites are finished!
That’s the real question real, though, isn’t it? Will they? The power they have currently does have its privileges. Will they turn their back on all that, especially not knowing what comes next? In the case of the former Soviet Union, the masses had an alternative too fall back on, however flawed. What do Americans have now? Another flavor of the same old capitalist bullshit? The “socialist common cause” well has been permanently poisoned here and the culture thoroughly debased.
We never know, until we make an attempt. We have to allow this possibility that footsoldiers defect. Second of all there are alternatives being pursued in US. To the mainstream society they maybe invisible, however they are still there. I read authors Morris Berman’s book “Why America failed”. In the book, Mr. Berman speaks of Alternative Tradition in America. It is on the margins, yes, but it is still there. In addition there is Native American wisdom. So there is something to fall back upon. And also these are people no different from you and me. They might see that the elites really do not care about their own footsoldiers or for anyone for that matter. We have to try. We have nothing to lose. Sometimes things no one expects and think are impossible happen! Take care!

Neither are rightful.
No one represents the reality which is that America is dead, it needs to separate for the benefit of all parties.
Who represents that reality?
No one. Yet.
Trump is a faux-populist like Obama and on the same team as the Clinton’s, Epstein….etc…
This whole stolen election/capital hill psyops was implemented to defang the nationalist right, just as Obama destroyed the last of the left.
You can be sure from here on out it will be open season on those on either side of the political spectrum, with extreme surveillance and FBI infiltration along with greater censorship.
When I was growing up it was my right-wing friends who thought Pro Wrestling was a real sport….Trump plays to those people.
Every election since at least the 2000 “W” vs Gore election has been fraught with vote rigging. The Republicans have been caught countless times, scrubbing voter roles and otherwise intentionally lowering turnout because, surprise surprise, it’s statistically in their advantage to have lower voter turnout, Conversely, the Democrats are always registering and drumming up all kinds of questionable voters because, surprise surprise, it’s statistically in their advantage have higher voter turnout. Then consider all the 50 different fiefdoms (states) with their peculiar election boards and rules, all run by “party operatives.” And of course the secretive private corporations and their proprietary software running electronic voting machines in dozens of states. These things have been going on for decades and are a FEATURE of this two-party oligarchic system NOT an aberration. Although presenting things now as a kind of “purge” of the political landscape, It seems now there is a degree of desperation. We have basically two cult of personality political forces: Obama (the Biden Gang) and Trump. Both are incapable of addressing the material conditions of the vast swath of working class people in this country. Pass the popcorn.
The failure for the GOP to deal with this will mean ongoing internal turmoil plus and inability to win elections in the future because US voters will not trust either the candidates (particularly Senators) or the voting system. They will for for someone else (aka Trump Patriot Party) or not vote at all.
It therefore MUST be addressed.
And the Democrat ballot riggers jailed.
Quite right. It’s do or die for the Republicans. If they let this election be stolen, the Dems will pass their “Vote at Home Act,” so every election going forward will be flooded with millions of junk mail ballots. You will also stay at home for at least another 4 years with a mask on.
Biden is going to let another XX million immigrants in who will help cast these illegal votes and take more jobs away from struggling American workers.
It’s not only the end of the GOP, it’s the end of the middle and working classes. We will all be serfs on the dole of the billionaires. “You won’t anything and you’ll be happy,” their Pied Piper Klaus Schwab is crooning. The Covid shutdown is the rehearsal for the great reset to dystopian kakistocracy where the trillionaires own and dispose of everything and everybody.
Of course Biden is going to take away our guns, too, just to make sure.
Correction, it’s
“You won’t own anything and you’ll be happy.” — World Economic Foundation (Davos Club).
Translation: “You the people will own nothing while you billionaires will be happily owning everything and having all the power.”
There is, in my mind, no doubt that Donald Trump, despite his flaws, shortcomings, and superficiality, is the legitimate President of the United States, whatever that “institution” might be today, and that Joseph Biden is illegitimate. There is, however, neither legal nor moral authority, as least not as represented by the decadent institutions of the courts and the legislative branches of government; therefore, power is held immorally and illegally; but power it is; and it is a threat to domestic and to international peace!!!
Yes, the US does indeed have two Presidents, and only one can be the true one, this of course being Trump. You only have to look at the evidence which Trumps lawyer Rudolph Giuliani presented to see that on November 3 there was massive election fraud, with millions of votes bestowed to Biden. Prominent mathematicians have stated that sudden voter swings towards Biden in prominent states was mathematically impossible. There is no question that what the US saw was a soft coup d’etat against Trump, and it was not the only one in it’s history, the most famous one being in 1963 against JFK.
Years ago an English analyst stated that American politics cannot be taken seriously. He was right. The first President of the US was George Washington, a Freemason, a member of a secret society. The HQ of the Freemasons is in Washington DC, and it controls the politicians on the Capitol as well as the US Government. Elections in the US are political entertainment, the intent being to prove to the people that they live in a “democracy”. When they vote for politicians, they vote for people who have already been elected for them, and these people only support the interests of the elite, and not interests of the working man. Yes, this rigged system is not 100 % full proof, as elections of JFK and Trump have shown. Outsiders sometimes end up in the White House. However, the neocons take care of them. JFK was assassinated while Trump vilified, seeing his election win stolen from him. Yes, Nixon was a neocon puppet. However, this puppet decided to think on his own, with the neocons serving him with the Watergate scandal (and no, they could not have him assassinated so soon after assassinating JFK, RFK and MLK).
The Biden Presidency is going to be very interesting. We shall now see how much authority he will have inside the US and how much respect among his allies outside the US.
The USA is such a shining beacon of democracy that they have two presidents. That’s double the freedom of all other democracies.
Both of the parties fiddle the elections but normaly they keep quiet about it by prior agreement and take turns being the winner. When one of them doesn’t hold up their end of the deal is when the accusations start.
All Americans know this but it is taboo to talk about. Its how things are done from the county level up.
In fact there are three presidents … one in the waiting and not for long.
For those who wish a more intimate view of the next US president here it is …
Kalama: In all her roles in my videos from Cleopatra to Don Quixote and Julius Caesar. Just a reminder Kamala’s husband is Jewish … very Jewish (not that that will make any difference in her ability to rule the USA with objectivity an and a firm understanding of what Israel needs … sorry I meant the US needs).
https://youtu.be/ubsq_Jr4noE
It doesn’t really matter who’s the president when the big question now is the future of petrodollar, or dollar itself. He is the real “president”.
Again I think it can only be resolved with the Military: SpaceForce (Military Intelligence, independent of corrupt DOJ, FBI, CIA) would be able to show the true data and their intelligence can lead to an intervention sacking Biden and possibly show foreign interference as well (so treason as the fraudulent election was a coup, defrauding the USA).
Trump et al. might well be working on this.
It makes no difference.
The actual president/dictator/emperor of the Imperialist States is the racist fascist zionist apartheid colonial settler entity in Occupied Palestine, which pretends legitimacy as the so called state of “Israel”.
history is repeating itself. trump for practical purpose was julius casear crossing the rubicon and we all know how it turned out for julius. the permanent deep state of rome had him stabbed to protect their own interests.
nothing really ever changes because humans never change.
i daresay our deep state sees themselves exactly as the heirs to the roman deep state of julius’s time. the only difference is our deep state is at the very tail end of their existence rather than at the start in romes case.
The reason courts refused standing and wouldn’t hear the cases was because the courts are Administrative courts and the issue is a constitutional one requiring a constitutional court to look into it. Administrative Law has no statutes to deal with this.
Why did not the Trump administration call for a constitutional court to convene with constitutional lawyers to present the case?
A lot of whats gone on in the past few years also went on in a limited way back in 1979-80 when Reagan and George H Bush battled it out for the GOP Presidential Nomination.
Trump’s policies are similar to Reagan’s, and Bush back them labelled Reagan’s ones “voodoo economics” just as the crazed Democrats and RINOs have done since 2016 to Trump. Voodoo because they didnt conform to their global plan agenda.
And its notable Bush lost that fight to Reagan in 1980 just as the current Trump opponents have lost and are now the fringe of the GOP now. It should have been a warning to them not to mess with a popular man.
Then of course look at what a failure H Bush was when he got control of things in 1988 – his management of the economy of do nothing policies put the US into a deep recession by 1992 which result in Clinton getting in. Bush was hopeless. And so was W Bush. And so would have been Jeb and others who ran in 2016.
The divisions in America are not just DEM vs GOP but internal GOP, plus a growing frustration by Dem voters who will not see any eco improvement by end of 2021 if Biden & Harris remain there.
