    There is this odd divide between the presidential vote, which Biden may win, and all the other votes, where the GOP candidates are doing much better than expected, and taking back House seats. How is that possible?

    In theory, it is possible that some voters would split their tickets, i.e., vote Republican but reject Trump for the “moderate” Biden. But given Trump’s high approval rating amongst Republicans (97%) this seems unlikely.

    Instead it is straight fraud on the part of Democrat states putting their fingers on the scale with their blatant late night counting schenanigans. Soon well have the deluge of “credible” media telling us Biden is President-elect. Any other year, election is over Tuesday night Trump is declared winner, no controversy. Frankly, it was an excellent election for Trump & Republicans. But the RUSSIA, RUSSIA RUSSIA crowd refuse to let anything be easy.

    As for the PCR tests, again another fraud perpetuated by “credible” media and “experts”. Tests result on their own mean little without a doctor to interpret them in light of examination. But rising numbers help the narrative and driving panic.

    Forget the mass testing. Let Doctors treat the people who are actually sick and the rest of us can get on with our lives. As the virus is already everywhere, containment efforts are near worthless. Thus th only use of mass tests is adding to the daily panic pornography.

    We’re all trapped in a thought box. I can tell that I am. The indecisiveness is torture. We reject it. We’re irritated and impatient. Whatever comes next will be no different, because the situation is no different.That makes this an opportunity to pray for good. No format. Just engage my heart into the mess and be with it, longing for good patterns to arise, that I can be part of.
    Good and bad, and I can recognize ’em when I see ’em, often look a lot different than what I had imagined.
    Here I am in purgatory, earnestly and patiently and lovingly longing for ways that I can help us all do better.

    Our Imperial Presidency, Charles Hugh Smith {“We have always been at war with Eastasia.”}
    Regardless of who holds the office, America’s Imperial Project and its Imperial Presidency are due for a grand reckoning.
    While elections and party politics generate the emotions and headlines, the truly consequential change in American governance has been the ascendancy of the Imperial Presidency over the past 75 years, since the end of World War II.
    As commander-in-chief of the armed forces, the Constitution grants the President extraordinary but temporary powers in wartime. With the power to declare war granted solely to Congress, this dangerous (in the Founders’ view) expansion of Executive power was tolerated because it was temporary and necessary in the fast-moving emergency of war…
    The extraordinary powers granted to President Roosevelt in World War II did not expire at the end of the war. Rather, the powers of the presidency expanded along with the National Security agencies which rose to unprecedented power in the Cold War era of 1945 – 1991. The entire alphabet soup of the National Security State–CIA, NSA, DIA, etc.–serve the president, not Congress, which has been relegated the role of toothless oversight. {Really, they serve themselves and their hidden dark lords, now.}
    http://charleshughsmith.blogspot.com/2020/11/our-imperial-presidency.html

    Craig Murray assumes a Biden win, with mixed thoughts and emotions:
    I know that many of my readers will be triumphant at the departure of Trump. I can understand that. From the viewpoint of US domestic policy and particularly attitudes to social division, race and immigration, the end of Trump’s cynical manipulation of atavistic instinct among the electorate will be in itself a good thing. This has not been a healthy period in US politics.
    But Trump has not been defeated by a Bernie Sanders; he has been defeated by a corrupt political hack backed to the hilt by the large majority of the billionaire owned media, financed out of Wall street and with no intention of pursuing anything other than neo-liberal economic policies. It is also the firm re-establishment of the rule of the security state and the military-industrial complex. Trump’s instinctive isolationism made him an enemy of the security state interest which spent a great deal of time in trying to undermine its President.
    With Biden we will return to business as usual, and that means war and invasions. Under Trump we have had no new wars started, even if he continued old ones with little control. Without Trump, I have not the tiniest doubt that Syria would have been bombed back to the Stone Age, exactly like Libya, and millions more people would have been killed. Irrespective of the undoubted damage Trump has caused inside the United States across many fronts, Hillary would have killed a lot more people. Just not Americans.

    That’s not a bug, it’s a feature of all the specific local and regional and personal, competent and incompetent, human and A.I. Vote Rigging.
    The U.S. Inability To Count Votes is a National Disgrace. And Dangerous. Glenn Greenwald

    Caitlin Johnstone:
    All the hours of post-electoral analysis you’re about to hear are just mental gymnastics to avoid confronting one very simple fact: that the way the Democratic Party has been securing funding is incompatible with securing votes. That’s the only correct answer to the question of what went wrong for the Democrats this year. They court wealthy donors who in exchange demand policies which hurt ordinary Americans. Ignore all answers besides this one.
    It’s not because of inadequate outreach to this or that demographic. It’s not because of racism. It’s not because of being too “woke”. It’s not because of the Electoral College or gerrymandering. It’s because Democratic donors advance interests which hurt the Democratic base, which naturally makes the base disinclined to vote for them.
    People simply are not going to support a party which does not advance their interests. If the Democratic Party were obtaining material benefits for people, they would dominate the US government. But that would mean taking things away from the donor class, so it’s been a no-go. Meanwhile the donor class is never going to support a party which acts against its interests. Getting enough votes and getting the support of wealthy elites are therefore mutually exclusive endeavors. You cannot have both. Dems will keep struggling with votes until they figure this out…
    The idea that everything will be fine once Trump’s gone is more dangerous than Trump.
    There’s no point telling the Democratic establishment that Bernie would have won. They know Bernie would have won. That’s why they stopped him.

    Electoral Musings: Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative Matrix

    Brandon Smith sticks by his cheery prediction:
    Just as I successfully predicted the outcome of the 2016 election months in advance, my predictions on the 2020 election are now coming to pass. In July of this year in my article ‘Election 2020: The Worst Case Scenario Is The Most Likely One’, after I outlined the strange factors surrounding Biden and Trump, I stated that:
    “These factors and more lead me to predict that Election 2020 will be a contested election which ends with Trump staying in office but accused of usurping the democratic process. This outcome is the worst possible outcome and also the most advantageous for the globalist establishment.”
    I also noted the predictive programming campaign by the media and members of the Council On Foreign Relations like Max Boot to acclimated the public to the idea of a contested election while also “wargaming” (planning) that exact outcome…
    Trump has said he will take the results to the Supreme Court and there is no doubt that recounts will be held in states like Michigan and Arizona. I continue to predict that Trump will stay in office despite the close election. I also predict that numerous fake ballots will be discovered during recounts only throwing gasoline on the fire and implicating Democrats in certain districts with fraud. Social justice leftists will surely try to riot in response, and Trump will call for martial law if the current scenario plays out as I expect.
    The leftists will NOT accept the results of a Supreme Court decision in favor of Trump.
    Conservatives WILL NOT accept a Biden presidency.

    Alt-Market Calls It Again: As Predicted In July, 2020 Election Will Be Contested

    A US Postal Service employee from Michigan has reportedly turned whistleblower, telling Project Veritas that his supervisor instructed mail carriers to collect and segregate new ballot envelopes received after the election cutoff so that they could be fraudulently back-dated with a Nov. 3 postmark
    Update 0958ET: The USPS Inspector General’s office has contacted Project Veritas following their report from a postal employee who says he was instructed to collect ballots after the election cutoff so they could be backdated.
    “They’re aware of this, it falls under their jurisdiction, they’re assessing whether to investigate,” said James O’Keefe, founder of PV.

    I continue to wonder if Long-COVID is caused by persistence of viral infection in some small proportion of cells in some people. I get asked, “wouldn’t they have found that by now?” “How would they find that” , I respond. Knowledge arises through process, and we are talking about cutting open human bodies to take specimens here, living humans. Not my body, please… Some people die and get autopsies, often focusing on the lungs, though we know this virus infects cells of the arterial lining, leading to clots, strokes, heart attacks and lung failure. I noticed this.
    The research, published in the journal Lancet eBioMedicine, also found the virus itself was still present in many types of cells.
    https://www.reuters.com/article/health-coronavirus-lungs-int-idUSKBN27K00X

    The Lancet article, excerpted:
    Persistence of viral RNA, pneumocyte syncytia and thrombosis are hallmarks of advanced COVID-19 pathology
    Pneumocytes and endothelial cells contained viral RNA even at the later stages of the disease. An additional feature was the common presence of a large number of dysmorphic pneumocytes, often forming syncytial elements (36/41, 87%). Despite occasional detection of virus-positive cells, no overt signs of viral infection were detected in other organs, which showed non-specific alterations.

    One vaccine is already found to be helpful in COVID Pneumonia, when you’re already sick with it, the good old tuberculosis vaccine, BCG.
    Bacillus Calmette Guerin (BCG) is widely used in national vaccination programs worldwide. It is accepted that BCG alleviates both pathogen and allergy induced respiratory diseases that could also include Covid-19. To investigate this possibility, we randomly assigned 60 Covid-19 patients, after admission to the hospital with pneumonia and requirement for oxygen therapy in a 1:1 ratio to receive either a single adult dose of intradermal BCG or normal saline with concomitant standard of care (SoC) medications. Primary endpoints were favorable prognosis of Covid-19 as deduced from resolution of pneumonia, viremia and secondary outcome were enumeration of ICU admissions, duration thereof and mortalities. Results Both primary and secondary endpoints were significantly improved in the BCG+SoC group. This could be seen from reduction in oxygen requirement due to Covid-19 associated pneumonia decreasing from day 3-4, improved radiological resolution from day 7-15. There were a total of 6 (10%) adverse events in the study of which 2 deaths and 4 ICU admissions were in SoC group (1 ICU admission culminated in death of the subject) and in contrast only 1 ICU admission in the BCG+SoC group. While there was an increase in Covid-19 specific IgG levels in the BCG+SoC group, there was no evidence of BCG induced cytokine storm in this group

    “the U.S. voting process is rife with major systemic failures and doubt-sowing inefficiencies that can be explained only as a deliberate choice and/or a perfect reflection of a collapsing, crumbling empire.” – Greenwald

    It’s a “deliberate choice”. The best way to hide mischief is by covering it in a shroud of chaos and complexity. Just ask Wall Street. Then, if all the so-called “watch dogs” are in on it (aka captured), it is guaranteed that one’s crimes will never see the light of day.

    I’m in agreement with Basseterre Kitona, that it appears incongruent that Republicans could do so well in other races, only to have Trump unseated. And it certainly raised a lot of eyebrows when Trump’s battleground leads all seemed to disappear magically overnight. Almost as if it’s easier to get away with criminal activity under the cover of darkness. Lots of smoke here! A big story just waiting to be uncovered by the press. Oh yeah, they’ll get right on it… never.

    It must now be apparent to even the dimmest bulb, that the power establishment has hated Trump from day one. At first, he was an entertaining straw man set up by the DNC/media for Hillary to knock down so that the illusion could be formed in the public mind that she actually won the presidency, instead of having it handed to her on a silver platter – which was the deal made eight years earlier when Obama was given the tap over Hillary.

    We all know what followed, one attempt after another to, at first sabotage his candidacy, but when that failed, to remove him from office by any means necessary. Why does the establishment see him as such a danger? It can’t be because of his ineptitude. We suffered with George Dubya just fine for 8 years, so that can’t be it. As Caitlin Johnstone points out: Trump puts an ugly face on Empire, but I don’t think that’s their problem either.

    During the last 4 years, every time Trump attempted to scale back militarily (or make nice) with any state on the US hit list, the establishment went ballistic. On the other hand, whenever he took aggressive action against the same, trumpets were sounded in the media. For example, when he fired missiles at Syria: “I am guided by the beauty of our weapons”, sung Brian Williams. And “I think Donald Trump became president of the United States last night” crowed Fareed Zakaria on CNN.

    I believe the main reason that Trump in a thorn in their side is because his anti-war leanings are an impediment to their global hegemony plans. Therefore, he has to go.

    Just wanted to pass on some useful (I hope) information:

    Re: discrepancy between numbers of votes for president and for senate.
    Lots of people only vote for the president in a presidential election year and don’t bother with down-ticket candidates. And lots of people only bother to vote at all when it is a presidential election year and don’t bother voting during mid-term years. Also, US senators serve for 6 years and the schedule is staggered so that only about a third of the Senate is up for reelection during any given election. Neither of Maryland’s Senators was up for reelection this year, for example, so there was no section on the ballot for US Senator in our state.

    Choosing sources of media reporting: about a couple of sites that are being quoted here more and more often (both of these are from wiki, but you can find the exact same information at any media-bias group or truth-in-media fact-checking outfit):

    The Gateway Pundit is an American far-right[9] news and opinion website. The website is known for publishing falsehoods, hoaxes, and conspiracy theories.[17]
    The Gateway Pundit is known as a source of viral falsehoods and hoaxes.[8][28][29] It has been described by Newsweek as a fake news website[30] and by CNN as a website “prone to peddling conspiracy theories.”[31] As a result of a number of lawsuits against The Gateway Pundit over its false stories, it was reported in March 2018 that Jim Hoft had told his writers to be more careful: “I don’t want any more lawsuits so we have to be really careful with what we put up.”[32] Hoft stated that he believes the lawsuits “are part of a multi-pronged effort to attack media outlets on the right.”[32]
    ——–
    Project Veritas is an American far-right[4][5][6][7][8][9] activist group founded by James O’Keefe in 2010.[10][11][12][13] The group uses undercover techniques to reveal supposed liberal bias and corruption[10] and is known for producing deceptively edited videos about media organizations, left-leaning groups[14][11][15][16][17][18][19] and debunked conspiracy theories.[11][20][21] In a 2018 book on propaganda and disinformation in U.S. politics, three Harvard University scholars refer to Project Veritas as a “right-wing disinformation outfit”.[22]

    In March 2020, The New York Times published an exposé detailing Project Veritas’ use of spies recruited by Erik Prince, to infiltrate “Democratic congressional campaigns, labor organizations and other groups considered hostile to the Trump agenda”. The Times piece notes O’Keefe’s and Prince’s close links to the Trump administration, and details contributions such as a $1 million transfer of funds from an undisclosed source to support their work. The findings were based in part on discovery documents in a case brought by the American Federation of Teachers, Michigan, which was infiltrated by Project Veritas.[23]

    I know nothing, just like John Snow. I can’t help but feel concerned about about what will come to pass. If the technology and infrastructure remains intact then probably not the worst. The urban areas are very prone to undesirable consequences. I can’t imagine living in a high rise should the power fail, or what about the water supply in such an event…very vulnerable. If survival comes knocking, think about where you are. Prepare is my advice. There is a whole movement on the internet called preppers that have worked out many of the logistics. I feel it is worth a read if you have concerns. I wish you well.

    The USA is full of delusions starting with that it is a democracy. There are elections but the people don’t rule. Money does.

    I remember the reviews of the move “Platoon” back when it was released in 1986; “The Soldiers spent more time fighting each other than the enemy.” “If they made of movie of my year in Vietnam it would have been 90 minutes of filling sand bags and 5 minutes of sure terror.”

    We Northerners/Westerners in country had nothing in common nor associated with the Oakies from Muskogee (Hillbillies – Rednecks). We who spoke TV English (no matter the race or ethnic background) were naturally assumed to be exceptional educated people (Americans).

    All the statues of Stonewall Jackson, Robert E Lee and Confederate soldiers that were built at the turn of the 20th century were to restore the backwater South into the North American Empire. Now the statues are being torn down and Trumpeters called White Supremacists. The names of Confederate Generals on bases in the South will be shortly erased if Defense Secretary isn’t fired and Joe Biden somehow falls short. The Empire is gone. Industry is gone. The Last Emperor can do nothing. All that left in the USA is a service industry that can’t even keep its customers healthy. Americans are dying an early death.

    The Democrats are the Professional Managers. Around 5% of the population. They earn their keep from helping the ruling plutocrats exploit everyone else. Republicans are even more crazy servile to big business and magical myths. The contradictions are getting so great that nobody can rule the West and the coronavirus is spreading like wildfire. Unless the truth is acknowledged that government can only function with the consent of the governed for the best interests of Americans; the future will be even more chaotic than today.

    Not much to say with no real information, so much going on. Everything goes to court as the Democrats said back in April. Here we are.

    But nothing’s going to be reformed unless this is the worst election ever.

    Same as 2016 with polls. Nothing happened then either. Except now they are 12 points off not 4. Alaska was like 22 points off. Pretty average for the media. Maybe slighter better than usual, since usually the tests are True-False and they’re 99% wrong. (Were there WMD and ties to Al-qaeda, Alex?)

    “2020 Election Isn’t Over But They’re Already Polling 2024” There is no level of failure….

    So everyone can count votes. Except the swings states and only the swing states. Everyone can post results next day as usual for 200 years. Except the swing states and only the swing states. Everyone counted all night and didn’t go home, taking the ballots with them. Except the swing states and only the swing states. The Congressional races went to the party ticket as is statistically normal. Except the swing states and only the swing states. No sudden lumps of votes were found anywhere that radically changed the counting. Except the swing states and only the swing states. Polling was normal, with exit polls, election monitors given access. Except the swing states and only the swing states.

    Well I’m satisfied. Nothing to see here.

    Been working at a polling station in Erie county, PA all morning. A lot of people have already voted 🙂 I’ve thrown out over a hundred ballots for trump already!! Pennsylvania gonna turn blue 2020!!,” –Sebastian Machado

    “An abysmal showing by Democrats in state legislative races on Tuesday”

    That’s odd. Abysmal for states, Congress, and all candidate except one and only one.

    “Lockdowns temporarily reduce infections and associated deaths. But they do so only by deferring them to the period after they are lifted.”

    Correct. As I said back when. They said so too, that’s why it was only to “Flatten the curve” not to “cure death itself.” But this comes with a cost on the economy that will kill maybe half again as many, and those killed are exclusively poor, while the beneficiaries of their deaths are exclusively rich. “their job prospects are being snuffed out.” As predicted. As planned. As applauded by all “good” people.

    …And then there’s Sweden. No essential difference, if anything it’s better.

    “Even Chris Martenson is beginning to question”

    Chris Martenson, like other doctors, believes everything he’s told by doctors, and that included the Pharmaceutical industry. Luckily for him, he’s a smart and honest guy and after every other possibility has been exhaustively eliminated, he will tell the truth. The rest of us just do that right away, unencumbered with a mis-education and expert beer-goggles.

    Yes the most interesting thing as that most people shrug it off, almost everyone not over 80 with comorbidities, yet certain dissimilar young ones get chronically injured. They are largely health workers (regularly exposed). If it weren’t too strange to bother, I’d say they’re salted with a different, similar virus. Or something in their PPE. But I can’t see why or how and dismiss it.

    It has been described by Newsweek as a fake news website[30] and by CNN as a website “prone to peddling conspiracy theories.”

    Astonishing. And said with a straight face. Newsweek, of “Kuwait incubator babies” and CNN of RussiaRussia, Walls are closing in OPCW Syria gassed his own people, Russia is in Vermont, Biden up by 20 points CNN calls ANYONE on earth, even Baghdad Bob “Prone to peddling conspiracy theories”? This is well-recorded “Factogenisis”. Wikipedia only allows “sources”, which it says can only be CNN and Yahoo. Not any sites we don’t like nor any of the eyewitnesses who would actually know. As we just saw, the FBI leaks false info to Yahoo, which is thereafter reported by NYT. Not reported that it is TRUE, no. That Yahoo SAID it. The FBI then investigates their own fake release, but more importantly, Wikipedia then says it is SOURCED, and therefore TRUE. Anyone who says it isn’t – which is virtually everybody else in the country – is NOT a source. Then NYT quotes Wikipedia as “common knowledge” “everybody knows”. Like you just did. We’ve done a couple thousand of these in the last few years. It’s called the “Wrap up smear.”

    So they say Gateway stinks. Maybe they do. But Who says? Their arch enemies? The ones whose lies were exposed by them, as Greenwald, Taibbi and others have shown? What a coincidence. “My enemy is my enemy. My enemy is a lying poopy-pants. News at 11.”

    “Just the facts, ma’am.”

    “The group uses undercover techniques to reveal supposed liberal bias and corruption” “detailing Project Veritas’ use of spies…” Those spies are “journalists”. It’s called “journalism”. Once upon a time it used to happen. That doesn’t make the Post or Veritas RIGHT. We need a court of law to determine. But they’re not MEANT to be a court of law, reporters can ONLY print sourced allegations. And hen provide their evidence. Which Veritas does. Not “15 anonymous sources” which CNN and Newsweek does. Wikipedia (I assume is your source) claims – without evidence, as we now say – that Veritas is “deceptively editing”. …Because nobody knows how to use Google. They are too retarded to dial a telephone. Veritas ALWAYS posts the WHOLE video the clips are from for exactly this reason. Journalists don’t bother to watch them because then they wouldn’t be able to claim falsehoods without evidence. Like Hunter’s laptop, BECAUSE THEY DIDN’T LOOK. How do I know? They just got sued and lost to Covington. The whole video was always, 100%, immediately available and showed nothing unusual. Just CNN, Newsweek, the Twitterati didn’t watch it. It would have taken a whole 15 extra minutes, so they lost a couple million$. Proof in court of law. There’s a new one of these every week.

    NPR is a good example. They said they won’t look because it’s unsubstantiated. Um, NPR? Substantiating allegations is YOUR job. That’s your ONLY job. It can’t BE substantiated or dismissed UNTIL you look at it. YOU. I know you’re used to printing pro-war CIA press releases, but you’re supposed to DO work, not have the other guy hand completed work TO you. Oh and NPR? The nation’s oldest paper says they DID substantiate it. So how is it “unsubstantiated” when an outlet who is older, wider larger, than you are says it was? Does CNN or the Guardian not exist anymore? Same with the Post. As a clear, long-term public “authority,” if they SAY it’s substantiated, IT IS. It’s up to YOU then to investigate and DISPROVE them. With more speech. In public. Not less. Via censorship and total information blackout. This is an extension of the media outlet reviews above.

    This isn’t complicated. So easy a 5-year old could figure it out. They say “Oh yeah?” “Yeah!” “Says who?” Joe says I lost the election and I beat my wife. I allege HE lost the election and beats his wife. No one investigates anything, so I guess nobody lost the election and nobody beats their wife. Case closed. “No evidence was found…” because nobody from sea to shining sea wanted to look for 60 seconds, and if they DID look they didn’t find anything and if they DID find something it didn’t matter and if it DID matter it wasn’t important and if it WAS important it wasn’t my fault, and if it WAS my fault, so what? Whaddya gonna do about it? Now get out there and stop investigating! We found no evidence, I tell ya! No evidence crawled down to my office, slipped past the doorman, crept up the stairs and crawled from the carpet to my desktop, covered in notary seals and red bows. Because if it did — like Snowden — I still wouldn’t print it or believe it. I’d fire any reporter who touched it. CoughGreenwaldCough.

    There’s no corruption here. Would a corrupt person, a reporter, never leave their desk, never watch unedited videos, never read the other paper’s stories, never call people on the phone, and never google any information? I rest my case.
