[AE] While the connection between Dominion Voting Systems and Smartmatic are constantly called fake, the nugget that should be investigated is to what extent any software from Smartmatic was used by Dominion Voting. Smartmatic began in Venezuela under the regime of Hugo Chavez. The company was founded by two Venezuelans and the company was at least later incorporated in Florida and then the headquarters were moved to London.
The controversy is that the election software of Smartmatic was used for the presidential elections that President Hugo Chavez and Nicolás Maduro won. In each of those elections, opposition parties claimed that fraud occurred. In fact, a 2013 U.S. Department of State country report on Venezuela states in the executive summary that "...authorities announced that Nicolas Maduro had won the presidency [April 14, 2013] by a 1.49 percent margin, amid allegations of pre-and post-election fraud based on a number of irregularities, including government interference, the use of state resources by the ruling party, and voter manipulation."
Furthermore, in a recent sworn affidavit filed with a Georgia election lawsuit, a key witness describes firsthand accounts of how Hugo Chavez asked Smartmatic to design a new election system for Venezuela and "was most insistent that Smartmatic design the system in a way that the system could change the vote of each voter without being detected." We understand that Smartmatic went on to participate in every Venezuelan election until 2018. The witness goes on to state that in the 2013 election, the "...Smartmatic Electoral Management System was used to manipulate and change the results for the person to succeed Hugo Chavez." He adds, "Persons controlling the vote tabulation computer had the ability to change the reporting of votes by moving votes from one candidate to another by using the Smartmatic software." (L. Lin Wood, Jr. v. Brad Raffensperger, 2020)
Antonio Mugica is the CEO of Smartmatic and here he is with Bill Gates. The connection nobody seems to be following is the fact that this leads to Bill Gates and Microsoft. Microsoft awarded Smartmatic for technological innovation in elections. While the conspiracy theories try to draw a connection between Dominion and Smartmatic, I find it more curious that they are trying to erase all connections between Microsoft and Smartmatic.
I reviewed the Texas review of Dominion and why they rejected the software. "Computer systems should be designed to prevent or detect human error whenever possible and minimize the consequences of both human mistakes and equipment failure. Instead the Democracy Suite 5.5-A is fragile and error prone. In my opinion it should not be certified for use in Texas."
Dominion is using Microsoft SQL. The real question that needs to be asked is the connection of Dominion with Microsoft. It is strange that the links between Microsoft and Smartmatic are vanishing. There are allegations surfacing that Microsoft, at the direction of Bill Gates, designed the vote-counting software used to commit election fraud by Dominion Voting Systems and competing companies. Who knows what is true or false. If they could spend money on investigating Trump and Russia, which was a dud, perhaps a special prosecutor should be brought in to investigate all the connections between Smartmatic, Microsoft, and Dominion. Just because Smartmatic claims they have no ownership in Dominion does not settle the allegations.

All software and hardware of any election equipment should be "Open Source". That way the public can check and improve the software and hardware to make it less "hackable".
[Babylon Bee] U.S.—According to sources, a small band of guerrilla journalists known as Project Veritas is coming under fire for practicing actual journalism.
"Apparently these guys didn't get the memo that 'journalism' is just a funny word we made up so people will think we're important and listen to us," said CNN President Jeff Zucker after hours of his morning conference calls were leaked by Project Veritas. "These guys actually think journalists are supposed to do journalism when everyone knows that journalists just here to write the narrative that serves our own agenda! These guys are doing it all wrong!"
Brian Stelter wept uncontrollably after hearing the news of the leaks. "Who do these so-called journalists think they are?" he said. "They don't wear nice suits or have expensive sets. They don't even dox random private citizens!"
Sources say that this strange group of citizen journalists has somehow been able to find incredible news stories about corruption and criminality without any of the resources of massive news corporations.
"We're not sure exactly how they do this, but we're pretty sure it's not real journalism," said Zucker. "Please -- do not pay any attention to them. We're pretty sure they're discredited according to official sources that we endorse. We hope you'll stay tuned to CNN for authoritative news stories on when to get your first colonoscopy and why the orange man is bad.
(The Z Man) In the industrial age, the power centers in Western societies were capital, the government and the workers in that order. Because money is power, the capitalists could exert influence over governments, so they were at the top of the power structure, but that had its limits. Government has the monopoly of force and must be responsive to the people, even in private government. Labor, of course, had numbers and even in the most repressive regimes, numbers count for a lot.
Of course, there was natural conflict between labor and capital. Then as now, capitalists wanted to exploit their workers as much as possible. One solution to this was tripartism, which is economic corporatism. Labor, government and employers work together to form economic policy. Labor would be organized into unions, whose leaders would sit at the table with representatives from the state and industry to fashion polices that maintained social stability and economic prosperity.
For most of Europe, this has been the explicit arrangement. In Scandinavia, what is often called socialism is actually corporatism. Workers get generous benefits, but the state protects business from competition. In other parts of Europe it is not as explicit, but the social contract is based on the cooperation of the government, business and labor unions. The irony is that this was the approach favored by fascist movements, but no one dares mention that bit of history.

[National Review] Will he follow the example of Andrew Jackson, who went on to victory, or sore loser Hillary Clinton?
Donald Trump is nearing a crossroads.
Those who allege that he has endangered the tradition of smooth presidential transitions by not conceding immediately after the media declared him the loser suffer amnesia.

He has to keep fighting for what got him elected: end illegal immigration, detach from China, conclude the forever wars, smash Big Tech, support the police, stand up to black extortionists and thugs, and build up our working and middle classes again with fracking and other old economy industries producing goods here in America.
But he has to stop being Trump and start acting like a restrained, clever, calculating mature adult. Control the id. Get off the Sh!tter and stop trashing people.
#7
No reason to think he cannot do both. Trump seems to surprise "experts" that way. Fight to the las, and still push hard for the Senate seats, then start making the GOP into a true OPPOSITION part against the progressives and socialists in office, and do that by keeping his coalition of minority middle class, the small business owners, the religious, the anti-TrustFunders, and the populists pushing hard in local, city and state elections to clean up the voting process, elect more Trump type Republicans, and obtain a GOP Senate and House in 2022 with more Trump type members, and set the stage either for his election in 2024, or better yet, a hand picked successor who will hold office for 8 years of "Trumpism" to cement the court and the laws.
[MEMRI] Chinese sociologist Dr. Li Yi said in an October 16, 2020 speech delivered at the Shenzhenwan Dialogue Forum in Shenzhen, China that China would overtake the United States in GDP by 2027, and that COVID-19 has been harmful to the U.S. and Europe but beneficial to China and North Korea. He praised North Korea and its system for having "zero" COVID-19 infections and said that the number of COVID-19 deaths in China, which he claimed is 4,000, is virtually zero compared to America’s 220,000 deaths. In addition, Dr. Li Yi said that China is growing rapidly in economy, military, trade, and diplomacy, and that its development cannot be stopped, unless a Gorbachev-like leader comes to power "who would mess up China’s own internal affairs and cause China to disintegrate." In addition, he said that most Americans hate China because it has pushed the U.S. into a corner, but he predicted that the U.S. will not sever diplomatic relations with China. Furthermore, he said that there will not be a war between the U.S. and China because they are both nuclear powers. He did, however, say that China has yet to take over Taiwan. Dr. Yi holds a PhD in sociology from the University of Illinois and according to his Linkedin account, he is a full-time professor at Renmin University in China. Following Dr. Yi’s October 16 speech, Renmin University issued a statement denying his employment at the university. Dr. Yi’s speech was uploaded to his personal YouTube account.
[WND] Lt. Gen. Thomas McInerney [U.S. Air Force Retired] said in a no-holds-barred interview that he doesn't believe the courts are likely to come through for President Trump.
Despite massive amounts of evidence of widespread irregularities, many judges appear either unable or unwilling to sort through allegations of rigged voting machines and dozens of affidavits from eyewitnesses to ballot stuffing, denial of Republican poll watchers from observing the process, evidence of more votes cast in hundreds of precincts than were registered to vote, and a host of other irregularities.
The general placed the burden squarely on President Trump to use the emergency powers at his disposal and put down what he described as a coup d'état in progress.

He said U.S. Marshals should have immediately seized the voting machines in Georgia and every battleground state as soon as it became apparent that ballot numbers were skewed in favor of Joe Biden.
#3
what he described as a coup d'état in progress.
What other word is there for it?
Four years of state-sponsored lies, crimes, persecution and absolute bullshit about Russia, preposterous nonsense concocted out of thin air.
Complete media suppression of dispositive evidence that Biden is corrupt, and very likely compromised by the Chinese Communist Party.
Six months of lying about and supporting insurrection, arson, riots and murders across our cities.
Forced "struggle sessions" and extortion from private citizens and government mangers if literally billions in payoffs to racial shakedown artists peddling lies and bullshit.
Yes, there is a coup taking place in front of us.
Deny it all you like, but our form of government is under attack. Will we defend it? Or meekly comply?
[American Thinker] Add cowardice to Robertson's words. By now it is abundantly clear to any American paying attention that the Biden campaign/Democrat machine set out to guarantee that Donald Trump would not, could not, win the 2020 election. They cheated seven ways to Sunday! They committed epic fraud. Fake ballots, dead people voting — thousands of them, hundreds of thousands of absentee and mail-in ballots were counted in the names of people who did not request them or submit them.
Hundreds of thousands of magically appearing fake ballots were counted in PA, MI, and WI. Perhaps GA and NV as well. The truth has been revealed. Will it matter? Time will tell. I hope that the truth will out, despite the left's operatives in Congress; the courts; the state legislatures; the FBI, CIA, and DOJ; and all those weak-kneed Republicans who are terrified to rock the establishment boat.
The attempts among members of Congress and of those agencies to cover up their monstrous scheme to steal the 2020 election are being revealed. Their efforts to cover up their treasonous attempt at a coup from the moment Trump won the 2016 election must be revealed.
What is so shockingly infuriating to the millions of people who voted for President Trump is the abject cowardice of most Republicans in Congress and in those state legislatures. It is as though they've been gelded.

If someone today decided to form a Constitutionalist Party
I would join.
I, likely like many, am fed-up with both Liberal Socialist-Democrats (LSD'd) and the RINO's pretend role playing.
TRUMP
broke the GOP/SD role playing format and it seems politicians are in fear of actually being controlled by the Voters. Instead of manipulating us in their power bartering schemes.
#1
Biden leads in MI, PA, and WI because of an apparent avalanche of black votes in Detroit, Philadelphia, and Milwaukee. Biden’s ‘winning’ margin was derived almost entirely from such voters in these cities, as coincidentally his black vote spiked only in exactly the locations necessary to secure victory.
Huge spikes in:
Milwaukee - but not Chicago
Detroit - but not Cleveland
Philly - but not Baltimore
Gee, what could possibly account for this anomalous behavior in theee and only cities that just so happened to turn the tide with an avalanche of post-midnight ballots?

/\ With Neera Tanden running budget and Harris as the VP, reparations will be on the table very quickly in the new administration. Those folks in Chicago, Atlanta, Detroit, Milwaukee, and Philly must be paid for their efforts.
