Where Do We Stand?
NOTE: I'll be out of pocket periodically today--starting about now. Rest assured, I'll review and enable comments as quickly as possible. I really appreciate the in put and assistance I've been getting.
After a very active day yesterday, I want to try to take a very brief snapshot, a wide angle lens type view of what we may be seeing in this continuing coup via election fraud.
Several commenters have been offering valuable insights, so I want to acknowledge their input as well as draw attention to their speculations and information.
Yancey Ward writes this morning about seeming changes of what Dem operatives are doing in Pennsylvania. He tries to arrive at an understanding of what's behind this.
Sidney Powell's interview with Lou Dobbs--and related matters of election fraud--drew a lot of attention.
devilman , as it seems to me, focuses mostly on Michigan, which is the state that Powell referenced most explicitly. Like me and other non-specialists he arrives at the common sense conclusion that the Dem shifting narratives of "glitches" and "clerical errors" don't really add. Rather, they lend credibility to accusations of election fraud.
Cassander this morning, working off material from other commenters, paints a big picture of the leadup to this incredible attempt to hijack a national election. He concludes, among other things, that we had ample reason to see this coming. It was pretty much like the approaching light at the end of the train tunnel.
Finally, Mike Edmonson sheds light on technical aspects and capabilities underlying all this. He does this via an hour long video presentation on how election fraud can AND DOES take place. I highly recommend this video presentation. I'm only 10 minutes in but, already it's helping me to understand what we're confronted with.
Among other things, in addition to describing the pigs breakfast that is our election "system", the video draws a very basic distinction--one that I've observed in what I just wrote. That distinction is this:
1. Voter Fraud - traditional mostly physical fraud; theft or destruction of ballots, filling out multiple ballots; voting dead people or non-residents; the traditional Dem stuff. This is the type of fraud Jonathan Turley highlights in Nevada --and I highly recommend following Turley's twitter feed for his legal oriented input. It's very accessible to the layman as well.
2. Election Fraud - involves tampering with the Central Tabulation and Server components of the "system." This can be done remotely as well as by the official custodians.
All of this adds up to what Turley calls "systemic" problems--problems that can't really be addressed on the level of individual ballots because the system has been so corrupted as to be utterly unreliable for purposes of verification and review. Turley (see the linked post) argues that these systemic problems (of various sorts, as commenters have noted) rise to the level that courts are more likely to take cognizance of. We can argue about the proper remedy--recounts, redos, rough and ready remedies like excluding ballots based on criteria such as date or method--but it's important that these matters are put in front of courts ASAP. A complete review by DoJ would simply be too time consuming--although very necessary in the aftermath, hopefully.
In the meantime, based on what we're seeing--things like the resumption of counting in AZ, recounts projected in WI and GA, challenges and revelations of gross fraud in MI and PA and NV--I have to wonder. What I wonder is this. This coup by election fraud was clearly highly coordinated. Sidney Powell masterfully reviewed the information war that has been waged against Trump from before his inauguration:
But, this is Coup 5.0, Lou. I mean, there was no reason to think that the Democratic operatives who spent hundreds of millions of dollars creating the Russia Hoax, the Steele "dossier", taking us through a Special Counsel operation for two years, trying an impeachment hoax, the Apocalypse hoax, the obstruction hoax, wouldn't go so far as to create every means of voter fraud that they could come up with to steal this election. That's exactly what happened.
While all this had the short term objective of removing Trump instanter, it also can be viewed as "preparing the battlefield"--the election. In all this we see clear signs of Deep State coordination: The MSM with its drumbeat of constant attempts to delegitimize Trump and conservative perspectives, the Tech Oligarchs who dominate social media with their censorship of conservative voices, the coordination with those forces and Dem politicians on both the national and state levels to enable the violence that has ravaged our cities, the obstruction of Dem judges. It was all highly coordinated and fed directly into the attempted hijacking of the election.
The goal as I still see it was to attempt to force a relatively quick concession from Trump. This has failed, and with the increasing complexity of events and revelations the Dems who ran the elections are starting to appear ever more clearly like children caught with their hands in the cookie jar. The relentless censorship and disinformation isn't stopping the flow of real information.
There is still hope. Events remain largely opaque to us, but there is still hope.
