CONCOMMS:
From what I've been reading lately, THE FIGHT has just begun...
How do you save a nation?
Think information warfare.
Think disinformation.
Think MSM. SM. TECH.
Think Culture War.
Why?
CCP Money? Investment? Blackmail?
Why are those who claim to be ANTI-CORPORATE, PRO-LIBERTY, PRO-DEMOCRACY fighting against ANYONE who questions BIG BUSINESS/CORPORATOCRACY?
Do their loyalties fall short when COMMUNISTS DO IT? Was that always the case?
Are BIG BUSINESS, MSM, NATIONAL BANKS influenced by CCP?
WHAT IS THE END GAME?
Think Rationally and logically.
Who stands to gain if USA falls?
What happens when the TRUTH RISES ABOVE THE LIES?
=============================

From: The Frontline Legislative Journal 
https://mailchi.mp/ddbd6be3bb22/first-issue-of-the-finchem-frontline-journal-1134289
December 15, 2020- "Subpoenas issued! Finally we will gain visibility into what happened in the Maricopa County election, which affects the entire state because of population concentration." - Representative Mark Finchem, 54th Legislature, House of Representatives. All hands are working dilegently to ensure the fair and impartial vote count can be completed. The Legislature may have to step in, but we must observe the rule of law as we act as swiftly as possible. We have many steps yet to be taken, we mustn't rush through any of them least we damage the process that we rely on to make certain that we have a fair and impartial election.

How does Solar Winds Hacking & Election connect?

Of course BIDEN is NOT P-Elect yet: https://twitter.com/amuse/status/1338590704885506053
Will this bored EVER get it's DAMN STATISTICS AND FANCIFUL FACTS correct?!

While Joe Biden won Monday's electoral college vote 306-232, Trump electors in several states also met, casting their votes for the president anyway, before sending them to Congress. According to White House senior adviser Stephen Miller, Trump's team plans to support this "alternate" set of electors in key states won by Biden as a means to preserve legal remedies in the event any of the remaining legal challenges: "This will ensure that all of our legal remedies remain open."

I disagree with his assessment though: https://twitter.com/aaronjcarpenter/status/1326305806535565313
SCOTUS will prove to be filled with GLOBALIST CABALIST SWAMP THINGS, and will NOT swing for Trump! The LIST OF TRAITORS will grow longer!!

Then there is this about BILL BARR:
https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1338614499981602819
judging by the letter that AG Barr wrote  it looks like he left on good terms. Also of note, he wrote: "I will spend the next week wrapping up a few remaining matters important to the Administration." He didn't actually say he resigns!

Barr played his role.
1. He came in because Session recused himself and he had no power because Rosenstein was in control, Barr came in and took control of the Mueller investigation
2. Worked with Durham
3. Cleaned out the DOJ
4. Made Durham A Special Counsel before he leaves. Which allows Durham to work independently, has the ability to prosecute and to add prosecutors to his team.

What do the CONSPIRACY THEORISTS say about all this? https://twitter.com/prayingmedic/status/1338830475285032960
So, what?
https://www.justice.gov/opa/speech/remarks-deputy-attorney-general-jeffrey-rosen-malign-foreign-influence-us-elections
"We are also concerned about another threat, known as malign foreign influence.  The key word is "influence."  Much of the time that is disguised propaganda.  Other times, it is using pressure tactics on influential people.  It can also take the form of hacking and disclosing private emails or phone messages.  It comes in many different forms, all designed to influence how Americans think about issues and cast their votes.  There are good lists of these on the FBI and ODNI websites.
We cannot escape the reality that the opportunities for malign foreign influence in our elections are far-flung, so it remains a challenge for Americans as voters.  That didn't end in 2016.  But it didn't begin in 2016, either.  Malign foreign influence efforts have been a longstanding concern in American elections, and that historical context can teach us some lessons.  I'd like to use these remarks first to discuss some of this historical context, then to offer a few comparisons with what we've seen more recently, and finally to share a little advice we can borrow from our predecessors."
Oh, so that's what...
I wonder how many dancing monkeys it takes to fit on the head of a PIN?
I'll leave that question to better minds! ;D

The 12th Amendment has the House choosing the President and the Senate choosing the Vice-President, if nobody gets a majority of electoral votes in each case. But they can only choose among the top three for President and the top two for Vice-President, so you'd presumably need at least one electoral vote before you could implement your scheme.

Ah well, I'll have to save the bloodshed for another day.








I can wait.

There's this cool thing called role-playing games where you can engage in lots of bloodshed, and you could justify it as simulation exercises in preparation for the real thing.

Anyone who needs a laugh, check out the oblivious Trump supporting losers on social media who are wondering why they lost money they bet on Trump winning the election. Betfair has settled the bets. Trump didn't win. These poeple's denial is both sad and hilarious. I feel for the family members, especially kids, that will be affected by such fiscal irresponsibility. But not for the people who lost everything betting on a race they had limited information on. The funniest part? Betfair took over 600 million dollars worth of bets for Trump AFTER Nov. 3rd. Yeah, you read that right. These people are morons.

The electric voting seems ripe for fraud to me.  Any digital voting that is secret is.  I think we need to either have physical ballots only and secret voting, or non-secret digital voting.  But not digital voting where the vote is akin to placing an order at a McDonald's kiosk.

It *is* crazy to think that after illegally spying on a campaign, the DOJ looking the other way for 4 years while never bring charges against any real players, the GOP senate never allowing recess appointments to its own party member/sitting president, China's foreign currency reserves depending on reversal of trade policies, Hunter's domestic currency reserves depending on a reversal of trade policies, the Bush GOP declaring political war on its own party president over lost profits from labor cost arbitrage, Schumer threatening Trump that the intel community will get you if you don't play their tune, the open fact we use the CIA to manipulate elections in other countries to tilt the scale towards the favored candidate, that the Dems were already rigging their own primaries for two election cycles, and the prize for winning being picking winners in a $25 trillion economy, that people think the oppositions would do and could do something like this

It's almost as crazy as thinking surveillance tools that are illegal to use domestically would be so used, even after officials go before Congress and swear that's just not true because they have a system in place to prevent that very thing

Exactly, EOTB! All of your points are right on target! But somehow, we are "Conspiracy Theory Nutters"!!! ;D

Your commentary here reminds me of an earlier commentary that you made where you discussed the idea of a "Preponderance of Evidence." I agree with that, and that is the way I see it. I don't need to be a cyber warfare expert, or a lawyer, or whatever. Any one detail or elements of one kind of detail may be more or less accurate--but taken as a whole, all of it, it all adds up to our election being fucked with by the Democrats, and no doubt also by foreign agents--like Communist China--and influence, bribery, blackmail, and other subversion through money--from Communist China, and those citizens on the take from a wide variety of organizations and industries. This is the most disgusting, corrupt, and fraudulent election I have seen here in America in my life. Right in front of us, all around. But for four years now the Democrats insisted that there was "Russian Collusion!" with President Trump--with zero evidence whatsoever. But here in this Presidential election, with all of these details, all of these affidavits and witnesses, all of these testimonies, all of the cyber warfare and mathematical analysis saying something terrible has been going on here--no, no. There's nothing to see here. The MSM brays like a robot mantra in every article on *anything*--always mentioning there's no evidence, there's no substantial evidence, there's no fraud at all--all being shoved down the throats of Americans at every opportunity. Meanwhile, Big Tech engages in outright censorship, deplatforming, and blacklisting anyone that says anything THEY don't agree with. All while corrupt judges, lawyers, and cock-sucking politicians refuse to look at real evidence, refuse to engage in any genuine investigation, and reee about how there is no fraud to see here, everything is fine.

So tragic and sad, my friend.

Justice doesn't sleep, and the traitors will be brought into the light. Like some others have commented, this has gone beyond President Trump. MILLIONS of Americans are furious, and demand justice, and judgment. I have seen more and more Americans encouraging the President to declare Martial Law, invoke the Insurrection Act, and do whatever it takes to save the Republic, to preserve the Union. More Americans are declaring that this fraud and treason shall not stand, and they refuse to bow down or submit to an illegitimate government that has subverted our Republic.

It is mind boggling to witness our Republic unravelling and teetering towards the Abyss of Chaos and the yawning maw of Socialism. I read where some people were saying it is better to have Martial Law under President Trump than Socialism under Biden! Who knows what will happen. I continue to pray for our Republic fervently, every day. America must stand, and America must remain free.

Semper Fidelis,

I am surprised neither side has commented on how once Biden went into office how suddenly and completely the Thugtifa and BLM protests stopped overnight. I mean I am sure it is a complete and utter coincidence almost the day after Biden won. Same thing in my neck of the woods. Or the yellow leftist media is no longer reporting on them since it's not part of the narrative they want to push.

It does not look really good for the legitimacy of both groups. So your cause is important as long as Trump was in the office. Now that chances are good he won't be reelected. Who cares about Floyd or social inequality at least Trump is out of office am I right.

Not totally. However, it does seem that BLM/Antifa will be told to 'get back on the shelf' as their demands to meet with Bidenharris have been ignored.

Gotta admit, it has been unusually quiet on that front. Not sure if no protests are happening, or if it's just not getting aggressively reported on like it was in the summer. In central Florida, we haven't had any big protests in several months (stopped well before the election).

The little I read about that really focused in on the violence between the two groups and spent very little time talking about what each group was doing there before the stabbing and shooting. I guess the press must figure everyone is already set on the background narrative they want, so they only go with the action bits now. Quite different than this spring & summer where (varying versions) of the George Floyd story were retold in every article about a protest.

Has Trump said anything about the cyberattack we just suffered? Is he even pretending to care about his office or the American public anymore?
