Occam’s Razor has a simpler explanation: What Powell is investigating—complicated trans-national computer fraud, involving multiple countries, not just the United States, with immense implications for the democratic system worldwide—takes considerably longer to explicate and prove than the time available to question a presidential election before votes are certified and the Electoral College meets.
This was corroborated by discussions I held with two men in a position to understand a great deal of this fraud that they say originated in and still emanates to a great degree from Venezuela (with a little help from Cuban, Iranian and Hezbollah friends, possibly others).

Nearly every vote update, across states of all sizes and political leanings follow this statistical pattern. A very small number, however, are especially aberrant. Of the seven vote updates which follow the pattern the least, four individual vote updates — two in Michigan, one in Wisconsin, and one in Georgia — were particularly anomalous and influential with respect to this property and all occurred within the same five hour window.
In particular, we are able to quantify the extent of compliance with this property and discover that, of the 8,954 vote updates used in the analysis, these four decisive updates were the 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 7th most anomalous updates in the entire data set. Not only does each of these vote updates not follow the generally observed pattern, but the anomalous behavior of these updates is particularly extreme. That is, these vote updates are outliers of the outliers.

As platform providers, they are exempt from being held liable for things published on their platform. As soon as they start editing and restricting the content to reflect their own personal or corporate viewpoints, they have become publishers and should therefore be held responsible for that which is published on their platform, making them liable for libel, slander, or other legal actions.

Sydney filed her lawsuit. This report was written at 1:30 this morning
https://pjmedia.com/election/victoria-taft/2020/11/26/breaking-sidney-powell-releases-the-kraken-in-georgia-with-explosive-new-lawsuit-n1174691
asks that the governor be enjoined from certifying the election. The 104-page lawsuit claims that Gov. Brian Kemp, Sec. of State Brad Raffensperger, and the chair and members of the Georgia State Elections Board failed to police the alleged fraud, including “multiple violations of Georgia laws, including O.C.G.A. §§ 21-2-30(d), 21-2-31, 21-2- 33.1 and §21-2-522, and multiple Constitutional violations, as shown by fact witnesses to specific incidents, multiple expert witnesses and the sheer mathematical impossibilities found in the Georgia 2020 General Election.”
The lawsuit, co-filed with attorney Lin Wood and an Atlanta attorney, asks a judge to set aside the results of the election in a permanent injunction; enjoin elections officials from certifying the election; demands that all voting machines be subjected to forensic assessment; and asks that election officials produce 36 hours of surveillance video of “all rooms used in the voting process at State Farm Arena in Fulton County, GA from 12:00am to 3:00am until 6:00pm on November.”

This is Ben Rhodes reacting to the assassination of the Iranian nuke scientist
This is an outrageous action aimed at undermining diplomacy between an incoming US administration and Iran. It’s time for this ceaseless escalation to stop.

It must have been a tough choice, ya know? Blame it on Trump or the Joos. Poor baby.

Read his timeline. Likes EV cars and his family. Hates Thanksgiving and consistently uses violent language and hate against conservatives.
His fellow legislators should bring it up with him everyday.

I like the meme where in the pandemic one set of political people rushed to buy toilet paper and the other set rushed to buy ammo.

BUT. We are NOT alone. There are at least 70 mil of us. We just have to be creative in how we hook up. Blogs are necessary but not sufficient.
IIRC, you are Mormon? How are things in your religious community? Anybody there? We have to build our own. Fast.

From what I understand they are quietly preparing. I may go to Utah in two years. Settle in one of the smaller conservative communities outside the SLC metro area (it’s lost to the left).
In my area in MT I found a crazy bitch on Facebook that wants all non-masking people rounded up and sent to camps for war crimes (biological warfare) because somehow healthy people not wearing masks will cause her to get sick. The left has caused a massive epidemic of stupidity.
@ Deplorable Martian Overlord:
There’s a strong uptick in violent thought in some of the other forums I follow. Noticeable. I expect one of these covid lockdowns will go badly for the police as a community treats them like BLM protestors.
Toronto citizens rolled over at the BBQ in the face of 200 police?
A lot of these small business people in America have been destroyed and have not much less to lose. Similar in a way to the Revolutionary War.
@ eaglesoars:
A lot of individuals and the church storage itself are going to need replenished but only the perishables from what I understand. They had to send out a lot of aid to the homebound during COVID. Long term items shouldn’t have been affected too much so that is good.
@ Deplorable Martian Overlord:
There’s a ton of people on the left who are mentally ill because they’ve never been slapped around in a fight.
I think if Trump doesn’t win this we will see something like right wing death squads getting after local politicians. Then a government crackdown. The pandemic has been unintentional practice.
It goes through my mind to prep for a violent reaction but I like to think of myself as a peaceful person first. But the latter were sent to the Gulags in waves. And massacred in China by the millions.
I’ve joked before but the country would be better off trading Portland and Seattle to Canada in exchange for Alberta. And trading San Francisco and LA to China for Hong Kong and Taiwanese sovereignty. Wall those cities up. ANTIFA will be put down overnight.

It is funny, my brother did say this is starting to resemble a revolutionary war more than a civil war. I disagreed but now I wonder. We are actually fighting an enemy occupying force even if they are our own citizens.

It would be a great idea. I had to laugh. There was a Canadian on TikTok who wanted all conservatives to more to the Alberta area and take Canada back from the left and send their leftists there. Make two United States. One for the left and one for the right. Still would be war. The two ideals are just too incompatible, their thought process is just too totalitarian, in their worldview they MUST control everything.
We on the right have been conditioned to live and let live. We are by nature peaceful but we are the most prepared for war. We also have the most combat veterans. We know the price of war that’s why we are in no hurry to bring it to our shores.
To the left, war is something you send others to do. So they don’t understand it. It’s something distant. It’s something others suffer.

Yeah I don’t see it either. We are too conditioned to not respond unless violence is enacted upon us first. Those guys that were chased by ANTIFA proved it. They were armed but decided to just keep running and be assaulted by the scum until they got behind the police lines in order to not get in trouble with said police. People on our side don’t react with violence unless our lives are directly in danger. That’s how the left continues to get away with their crap.

After Venezuelan Smartmatic official Marlon Garcia “tweaked” central server during 2016 vote tabulation, Philippine VP candidate’s 900k+ lead “was wiped out.” Several Smartmatic employees were criminally charged w/tampering. Garcia fled the country.

The worst case scenario that I’ve been expecting is that a business owner ruined by these absurd COVID rules goes after a county health official or state official and then they use that as an excuse to crack down on conservatives.
I’m off to continue reading.
One thing tho – Fox Business tonite aired an episode of Fox Nation/Maria that was BRILLIANT on China.
So, whatever your ‘watching’ menu has become since the election, don’t cut off your nose to spite your face.
nite. Back to Benedict.
@ eaglesoars:
I would hope not. But violence escalates that way. Left right left right. You can’t buy all that ammo, have all the ANTIFA given green lights, have the police arresting non mask wearers. Something’s gonna snap. It’s already in the streets. The meth epidemic doesn’t observe political boundaries. meth addicts and there are a lot of them are always on the edge of violence.
Maybe I’ve read too much sci fi but communities that are actually communities with local values. Where people talk and listen cordially are probably most immune to this type of decay.

Speaking about that incident in Toronto as a Canadian, it’s telling that there IS a protest about a business owner being taken away for trying to make a living. That they had to send a large amount of police to deal with it says something more. There’s rumours that more small businesses may be planning on opening up as well because they CAN’T take another lock down. It’s a matter of survival and this may be a tipping point.
On the other hand there are a fair number of people complaining about our fellow citizens putting them at “risk”. Slowly though the tides are turning.
@ Deplorable Martian Overlord:
In May 2010, Dominion acquired Premier Election Solutions from Election System & Software; and in June 2010, acquired Sequoia Holdings, which at the time had multiple voting systems controlled by Smartmatic in 16 states and 300 jurisdictions of the U.S. As a result, Dominion grew rapidly and achieved the second largest market share for a voting system in the United States.

The process for a mayor seems to be be set a zero tolerance policy on gatherings. Waive the policy for an hour or two while the mayor has dinner at the most expensive restaurant around.
I’d prefer we just educate everyone. Admit we don’t know everything about the virous and then act on caution. NO mandates.
Oh lookee here!
The Covid data spies paid to know ALL your secrets: Town halls harvest millions of highly personal details including if you’re being unfaithful or having unsafe sex
The system, called Covid OneView, is produced by data analytics firm Xantura
I will bet my house that if you dig into Xantura you will find connections to the NWO crew

GP We do. We offer a turkey sacrifice to the gods that they may protect us from government overreach.
@ eaglesoars:
A spokesman for Barking and Dagenham Council said OneView was used to ‘identify and reach out to our most vulnerable residents to help prevent unseen difficulties’. It said it had used ‘appropriately collected’ data following guidance from the Information Commissioner’s Office.
I have Seventh Day Adventists that do this for me. Personal letter from them two days ago. lol.
I was just looking at my digital PC games collection. Even if I played constantly from now until I died I wouldn’t be able to play everything I have. Lol. Largely due to a combination of game bundles, free games, and gifts from friends. Funny thing is one bundle gave me close to 2000 games for 5 bucks. Joke was it was a BLack LIve Matter bundle, I went to the payment distribution section and took the entire amount away from BLM and gave it to Autism Speaks, lol. No way in hell was I going to let the BLM scum have a penny.
Sad part is out of my 22000 games or so most of them are garbage. A couple hundred are Virtual Reality games that I can’t ever play now. My VR rig is broken and even if it wasn’t I couldn’t use it now that I found out that I have compression headaches. Always wondered why I would get migraines every time I tried using my VR. Guess I know now. Too bad to, I actually like VR. Guess that’s something I’ll never be able to enjoy. Oh, well at least I was able to be one of the first back in the 90’s in Germany when I was in the service.

Similar thing .. I was playing a PS4 game and the developers (first person shooter) designed it to have all these brilliant white light flashes when any thing significant happens. Over time my eyes started to fatigue faster and faster and then eventually develop pain every time a flash occurred. Had to give it up. Permanently probably.

You need a brain to be able to play it.
Just Googled it and it is also known as Colossal Cave Adventure
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colossal_Cave_Adventure
It is all text and I would seriously encourage young children to play it. The interface is text but your mind creates the game scenery.
The reservoir and the dam and machine room is very vivid in my imagination. Can still visualise it still over 40 years later.

First computer class I had was in 7th grade, writing simple programs in Basic, recording them on paper punch tape. I created a Baja road race game with the goal of having the shortest time – one car at a time. You set your speed, and came to a fork in the road. One way was longer but smooth, the other was filled with traps.
The next computer class I had was first year college. Fortran.
@ Bunk X:
You know then you and Bill Gates started out exactly the same way. He wrote a program to count cars running over a wire on the pavement. Your version does seem a little smarter. 🙂
@ Bunk X:
My first program was in fortran. It freaked me out that a single misplaced comma would turn the program into a complete failure.
we would punch a deck out, turn it in to the computer lab desk clerk. Come back the next day to a failed or success over night run of the deck. Attached with a printout of code and the results and how much it cost the university to be this nice to us.

@ darkwords:
I had a very similar experience. Stacks of IBM cards that you had to watch carefully as the “tech guy” loaded them into the hopper. If you turned your back, one of your asshole classmates might slip a PRINT command card that said “PROFESSOR FRANKLIN SUCKS BIG GREEN DONKEY DICKS” or some variation. You’d see it in the printout, then you’d have to find and remove the card and get back in the queue.
