State Rep. Sean Roberts Requests FORENSIC ELECTION AUDIT in Three Oklahoma Counties..

State Rep. seeks audit of 2020 election results in 3 Oklahoma counties

by Brandon Martin, OKC FOX, July 13th 2021

OKLAHOMA COUNTY, Okla. (KOKH) — Oklahoma State Representative Sean Roberts, R-Hominy, announced on Tuesday that he is requesting the State Election Board Secretary call for a “forensic and independent audit” of the 2020 general elections in Oklahoma County and two other random counties in the state.

“Every citizen deserves to have faith in the integrity of the election process and its outcome,” Roberts said in a letter sent to the Election Board secretary. “It is my responsibility, as an elected public servant, to assure my constituents that Oklahoma’s elections are safe and secure.”

Roberts also said that there were “clear signs of election fraud in various other states around the country such as Arizona, Georgia, and Pennsylvania.”

“Elections are the bedrock of our constitutional republic and the recent fraud across the country has led to voter confidence dropping drastically, we must prove our state elections are secure,” Roberts said.

PODCAST: Voter Suppression vs. Election Integrity

July 22, 2021

Arguably the two biggest issues facing the American people today deals with illegal immigration and voting. Interestingly, I believe the two are related. However, there are sharp differences in interpretation between liberals and conservatives and reflects a deep divide between the two groups.

As to illegal immigration, liberals do not believe in national borders thereby causing the current influx of illegal immigration. It is their hope illegals will be granted citizenship and voting rights, thereby enabling Democrats to remain in power.

On the other hand, conservatives want tighter control at the border, thereby thwarting illegal voting, illegal distribution of benefits, and curb human trafficking and drug importation.

Voting also has two differing perspectives. Liberals claim the new election laws enacted by Republican-led states represent “voter suppression.” They insist the laws are being enacted to prevent minorities from voting. As such, they label these laws as “racist” and akin to “Jim Crow laws.” They use the “Jim Crow” moniker knowing the public has no sense of history and have forgotten it was created by the Democrats, the same people who gave us “Jim Crow” and advocated slavery.

Conservatives, instead, are promoting “election integrity” as a means to promote lawful voting. This can hardly be construed as “voter suppression,” but this is what the Democrats would have us believe. Republicans thereby are creating state laws to promote proper Voter ID, reasonable hours to vote early, and honest absentee voting. To illustrate, there is nothing in the recent Texas state election bills (HB3 and SR1) that could possibly be construed as “voter suppression,” yet this is what Texas Democrats insist it is. Interestingly, the bills begin by claiming they are, “enacted solely to prevent fraud in the electoral process and ensure that all legally cast ballots are counted.” Having read the legislation, I have to agree.

Knowing Republicans have the votes to pass the legislation, Texas Democrats fled the state, and flew to Washington, DC to seek comfort from the Biden administration and Congressional Democrats. As part of this, they want to federalize voting as per House Resolution 1 (H.R.1), the “For the People” Act which is aimed at encouraging more votes, not validating them. As I wrote in March on this subject, “There is nothing in the bill about validating voter identity, verification of signatures, or checking rolls in a uniform manner. This is all about harvesting votes for the Democrats in an unscrupulous manner.”

Let’s be clear about something from the onset, H.R.1 is un-Constitutional as the right to determine voting is a state issue, not federal (see Article I, Section 4 of the Constitution, whereby, “The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof;” Aside from the Electoral College, this is also true for the Executive Branch.

I also find it interesting the role the News Media plays in all of this. Most outlets claim this is about “voter suppression,” not “election integrity.” This is obviously being orchestrated by someone behind the scenes. To illustrate, I found two columns with almost identical content:

Techbondhu – by Serilda – July 9th

The bills – House Bill 3 and Senate Bill 1 – were filed during the special legislative session called by Gov. Greg Abbott, which started Thursday. Republican leaders vowed to take another pass at approving voting legislation after Texas House Democrats blocked a previous effort in May to pass more voting restrictions.

NPR – by Ashley Lopez – July 12th

The bills – House Bill 3 and Senate Bill 1 – were filed during the special legislative session called by Gov. Greg Abbott, which started last week. Republican leaders vowed to take another pass at approving voting legislation after Texas House Democrats blocked a previous effort in May to pass more voting restrictions.

It is as if someone from the left wrote the article first, distributed it to the news media, and allowed them to fine tune it to suit their needs. Not only is this plagiarism, and shows to what length the Left will go, but it demonstrates how the news media works. As an aside, I have also seen this done with “Letters to the Editor,” where the same comments are posted in different newspapers across the USA.

The truth is, this is about manipulating and controlling the vote in order to maintain a tyrannical grasp of power. It has absolutely nothing to do with racism and “Jim Crow,” which is nothing more than a clever subterfuge. What we are witnessing is another test of the U.S. Constitution, to wit, do we accept illegal immigration and voting, or do we not? This will inevitably end up in the Supreme Court.

P.S. – As one friend said to me recently, “You notice Democrats are fine with vaccine cards, but not Voter IDs?” Just saying.

Keep the Faith!

Joe Biden is the Big Lie!

July 21, 2021

Joe Biden is THE BIG LIE!

— ACTforAmerica (@ACTforAmerica) July 20, 2021

We are well into the Biden administration. What many are now seeing is that Biden, his handlers and administration are hell bent on destroying America and it’s allies, particularly Israel.

Biden has become a joke but nobody is laughing. His policies and politics are doing more and more harm each and every day.

Gas prices are up. The cost of food is up. Employment and wages are down. Government control is expanding and becoming tyrannical .

Biden Is The Big Lie

In Mein Kampf Adolf Hitler trying to discredit the Germans’ activities during World War I wrote:

“[T]hat in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation…. From time immemorial, however, the Jews have known better than any others how falsehood and calumny can be exploited.”

The big lie is both effective and critical to any tyranny. Hitler used it to demonize the Jewish people, which led to the Holocaust.

Today, America is facing a series of big lies. Here is a list of some of those used by Democrats and Biden:

The January 6, 2021, mostly peaceful, rally in Washington, D.C was an “insurrection.”
The Cuban people are rioting against their Communist oppressors because of COVID.
Government must control an individual’s choice to be vaccinated for COVID. My body, my choice does not apply.
Taxing and spending are necessary and good but won’t lead to inflation. In fact it will be a shot in the arm (or head) of the U.S. economy.
Mankind is to blame for every natural weather event.
Climate change is a national security priority.
Israel, and by definition the Jewish people, are a threat to the Arab Palestinians.
The 2020 election was fair and without fraud.
If anyone says, tweets or posts something that the Biden administration disagrees with then that person should be banned from all social media platforms.
Requiring an ID to get on an airplane is okay but requiring one to vote is racist.
Biden is has all of his faculties and is not senile.

Conclusion

Daily we are witnessing another big lie. These big lies are being spread by the media, with the help of Big Tech.

The big lie is the enemy of the truth.

The Biden White House blames right wing “misinformation” about the vaccines while it spreads misinformation about right wing news outlets when it comes to vaccines

— Buck Sexton (@BuckSexton) July 21, 2021

Today, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. An act that can have you shadow banned on social media, labeled as a racist, hated by those who do not want to learn the truth.

Perhaps we all need to read John 8:31-32 over and over again:

So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

Indeed, the truth will set you free.

National File – Hard News for the New Right

July 21, 2021

Twitter, like Facebook, YouTube, and, for that matter, Source Watch, is a good place to find alternative voices not because they aren’t trying to silence these voices, but because they are. Call it the Streisand effect, defined by Wikipedia as ” a social phenomenon that occurs when an attempt to hide, remove, or censor information has the unintended consequence of further publicizing that information.”

Twitter did their job again a few weeks ago when they locked out the news site “National File,” after it reported that a 13 year old died after receiving a second dose of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine. Epoch Times reported the lockout, later lifted, but the public spotlight hit the National File, and we had a look.

To be clear, there is nothing terribly special about the National File. Undoubtedly ran on a shoestring, they have a news website, the obligatory social media accounts, and a YouTube channel that’s been dormant for over six months.

So what’s the point?

The point is that when you view their home page, keep two things in mind. First, you need sources like the National File to find reports that embarrass the Left, or tell the rest of the story about something that the Left has distorted into a smear on the Right. Because you’ll never see any of that on the mainstream media platforms – online or offline.

Second, if you examine the National File’s content, you will find the predictable selectivity. The news they choose to report defends the Right and exposes the Left. But their respect for facts doesn’t merely match that of the mainstream media, but exceeds it. Anyone who thinks that David Muir at ABC, or, for that matter, Mark Zuckerberg at Facebook or Jack Dorsey at Twitter, is going to care any more about the truth than National File editor Tom Pappert, is living in fantasy land.

That is why we started Winston84, and that is why we continue to highlight examples of censorship and examples of alternative voices that are suppressed. We welcome the National File to our directory of irreverent investigators, and wish them well.

COVID-19 Early Stage Therapies Remain Censored

July 21, 2021

The American Journal of Theraputics published a study on June 17 that found “the drug reduced the risk of death in COVID-19 patients by an average of 62 percent, at a 95 percent confidence interval of 0.19–0.79, in a sample of 2,438 patients,” and “Among hospitalized COVID-19 patients, the risk of death was found to be 2.3 percent among those treated with the drug, compared to 7.8 percent for those who weren’t, according to the review.”

Meanwhile, in India, the most recent surge of COVID-19 cases was suppressed within weeks after “India’s Ministry of Health and Family Welfare revised its guidelines on April 28 to include a recommendation that asymptomatic and mild cases be treated with Ivermectin.”

Why isn’t this headline news in the United States? Why is it that early stage, inexpensive therapies for COVID-19, which appear to be effective against the latest variants, remain forbidden topics for national networks? Why are these reports accompanied by warnings and deboosted on social media platforms, if they’re allowed to appear at all?

These forbidden topics slowly give way to truth, as proven with Facebook’s about-face earlier this month wherein they now allow claims that COVID-19 was engineered in a lab, and does not have natural origins.

The suppression by social media platforms of information about Ivermectin and other early stage treatments is both inexplicable and well documented. For over a year, information about Ivermectin therapy was suppressed by the World Health Organization and and censored online. And there is plenty of evidence that the “fact checkers” used by these social media monopolies are in fact partisan “fact blockers.”

In any pandemic there are four steps that public health authorities take. They mandate social distancing, they develop early stage treatment protocols, they develop late stage treatment protocols, and they work on a vaccine. But with COVID, part two was largely ignored. Not only ignored, but maligned.

History will not be kind to the special interests that denied hundreds of thousands of people access to treatments that could have saved their lives. It is not necessary to be against vaccinations, or indulge in conspiracy theories, in order to realize that for some reason, America’s health establishment engaged in murderous negligence, with the full complicity of the media, online and offline.

And they’re still doing it.

Twitter Bans Nick Fuentes

July 21, 2021

What took them so long? When reviewing the list of people banned by Twitter, you have to wonder how the President of the United States could be “permanently suspended” (is that an oxymoron?), but Nick Fuentes remained. He must have done a careful dance to avoid somehow violating Twitter’s “terms of service” until now. And even now, Twitter won’t tell anyone what was the last straw.

Fuentes, at the ripe old age of 22, has already made quite a name for himself. His initial videos, which he started posting as a college freshman, weren’t terribly alarming. He would initiate debates over immigration with people who disagreed with him, and appeared to be having the time of his life. This quality, the gleeful troll upsetting Leftist pieties, at first probably disarmed some of his critics. In a 2019 interview with Milo Yiannopoulos, those qualities come through loud and clear.

What also comes through, then and now, is a young man who openly admits he wants to live in a society that is majority white, condemns homosexuality, and claims America’s media and financial sectors are dominated by Zionists. Should people like Nick Fuentes be permitted to share their opinions on public online forums?

The answer to that is clearly open to debate, but along with Ben Shapiro – no fan of Fuentes – we’ll error on the side of inclusion. Not only because speech, no matter how much we disagree with it, remains protected under the First Amendment. Not only because the Section 230 exemption requires publicly used platforms like Twitter to refrain from editorial censorship. But also because of the double standard.

It doesn’t matter if you agree with the double standard. Free speech laws aren’t designed to protect speech you agree with.

Why is it that other nations, from Japan and Israel to virtually any Islamic nation, are permitted to scrupulously preserve their culture, whereas critics of culturally disruptive mass immigration to the United States are branded as racists? Why is it that Islam condemns homosexuality, but if some Christians share those beliefs, they are subject to lawsuits and online censorship? Why is it that members of Congress such as Ilhan Omar can condemn alleged Zionist influence, but Nick Fuentes cannot?

There’s another reason it is a mistake to ban someone like Nick Fuentes from platforms like Twitter, and it is what this will do to him. Everyone pushed off the mainstream platforms doesn’t just lose their audience and years of work. They are reminded that free speech isn’t free. They are reminded that only narratives that meet with corporate approval are tolerated. They are reminded that there is a shocking degree of unanimity among what corporations tolerate.

Finally, they are reminded that if you are a Leftist and say offensive, outrageous things, you are tolerated, whereas on the Right, not only are you not tolerated, but you are held up as supposed evidence that the entire Right thinks like you do, and should therefore be destroyed. Nick Fuentes no longer has reason to be reasonable.

This is no way to unite the nation. Allowing people like Nick Fuentes to speak their minds, exposing them if they’re loose with the facts, engaging them if they’re proposing solutions or expressing preferences that are unpalatable or ill conceived, is a pathway to reconciliation. It’s also the American way.

Desperate Humanity Sends Robot Back To 2004 To Stop Mark Zuckerberg From Ever Inventing Facebook

July 21, 2021

CAMBRIDGE, MA—With humanity languishing under the evil tyranny of Facebook, everyday citizens have pooled their resources together to send a killer robot back in time to 2004 to prevent Mark Zuckerberg from inventing the wicked technological scourge in the first place.

“We’ve created the ultimate bionic A.I. humanoid to find Zuckerberg and prevent this dark future before it begins,” said Bubba Crullers, head technician on the project. “We’re not trying to kill him or anything– instead, we’ve programmed the robot to befriend young Mark and try to get him really into World of Warcraft, or introduce him to a really beautiful but controlling girlfriend, or make him take up bass guitar and join a lousy punk band, or convince him to study abroad in Tibet and become a monk.”

“Whatever works– we don’t care. We just have to stop Facebook.”

Experts predict that as soon as the robot’s mission is completed, utopia will instantly break out around the earth, no one will ever believe any misinformation about anything ever again, and conservative uncles will have more time to watch World War II documentaries.

(Update: According to sources, the robot has completed its mission, which unfortunately caused young Zuckerberg to focus his energy on uploading his consciousness to a globally-connected supercomputer and he now rules the world. So, that backfired. All hail Zuck!)

Dangerous Anti-Science Extremists Hold Super-Spreader Event In D.C.

July 21, 2021

WASHINGTON, D.C.—The World Health Organization has issued a travel warning for anyone traveling to D.C. this week since according to several reports, a plane full of COVID infected anti-science extremists from Texas have flown to the nation’s capital and are conducting deadly super-spreader events there.

“According to eyewitnesses, these Grandma-killing monsters didn’t even wear masks on the plane,” said WHO Director Bill Who. “It’s absolutely frightening to think that there are still kooky science deniers like this still running around out there spreading COVID from their disgusting maskless mouths.”

According to the Secret Service, several of these extremists attempted to literally murder Vice President Kamala Harris with COVID by meeting up with her and shaking hands while not wearing masks.

“This is sociopathic,” said local elderly D.C. resident Joe Biden. “It makes ya wonder what kind of misinformation these genocidal maniacs have been reading on the Facebook.”

Authorities say the extremists are still at large and should be considered extremely dangerous.

Cuba: Give Us Liberty, No Matter the Cost

July 21, 2021

There’s one thing most Cubans can agree on: the small island nation may never be the same again. “The history of Cuba will have to be rewritten after Sunday, the 11^th of July,” one Catholic leader said. In just nine days, more than six decades of oppression was turned on its head, as people flooded to the streets — risking their very lives to send a message America’s forefathers know well: give us liberty, no matter the cost.

“I think it’s important that people understand: this is the most significant level of protest we’ve seen against the Cuban regime,” Congressman Michael Waltz (R-Fla.) pointed out. From his vantage point, there hasn’t been anything close to this level of unrest since Fidel Castro overthrew the previous government. “I don’t think we’ve ever seen people take such a stand at such risk.” Staring down the highest levels of COVID in Latin America, a massive food and medicine shortage, and the country’s complete economic collapse, most Cubans felt like they had nothing to lose. “Folks need to understand just how great we have it here in this country,” Waltz said soberly. “We can peacefully protest — our voices can be heard. But somewhere like Cuba, you are risking torture, you’re risking death — just for taking a stand.”

At best, Waltz says, your family is in abject poverty, struggling to find your next meal. At worst, you’re being thrown behind bars. “So it is quite brave and commendable, but it also speaks to a level of desperation that these people are truly facing right now.” Although Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel has switched back on the internet and agreed to let some aid into the country, the protests rage on. Over the weekend, the government staged its own counter-rallies, complete with a token appearance by 90-year-old Raul Castro to try to bolster more support for his controversial regime.

Elsewhere, in American streets, Cuban Americans waved flags in support of their oppressed countrymen. President Joe Biden, under pressure from radical Democrats to ease the U.S. embargo on the island, has been surprisingly quiet. And no wonder, a Washington Post reporter says. “The progressive wing of the Democratic Party does not want to go hard against Cuba, against some of the things that the Castro regime may have been a part of, in part because there are some Democrats there, some progressives who agree with some of those things.”

In Waltz’s opinion, it’s just as well that these extremists show themselves for who they are. “You’re seeing the progressives’ true colors come out,” he said on “Washington Watch.” “We see it every day in a Pelosi- run Congress where the Left really is the tail wagging the dog. And Biden has turned out to be, as predicted, a Trojan horse for the progressives. But man, in their praise for the Cuban regime and their praise for socialism and then condemnation that it’s America’s fault… it’s all coming out. And a lot of us can’t say we didn’t tell you so.”

Meanwhile, the regime they’re so enamored with is going door-to-door hunting protestors and church leaders. Jatniel Perez, director of William Carey Biblical Seminary and pastor at Centro Biblico Crecer in Cuba, insists some people have just disappeared. Others are in prison for no other reason than joining their parishioners on the street. “That’s the situation for many of the Cubans who have been protesting… They don’t have liberty of speech.” From inside Cuba, many warn that the international media is only telling part of the story. The internet blockages are so intense and unpredictable that no one can confirm the deaths of innocent people at the hands of communist officials. The press is “soft-selling the severity and brutality,” Catholic leaders on the ground warn.

As for the church leaders, Perez says, “For the moment, we don’t know where they are… [W]e don’t know their status or anything. We just know that they have charges [against them].” Like everyone else in Cuba, he insists, they just want freedom. “They just want to have everything possible for them and [have their needs met].” That’s why, in his opinion, this will continue.

And the American people have a huge role to play in that fight for liberty. While Cubans recite portions of the Declaration of Independence, longing for what we have, the United States gives oxygen to their cause by saying, “We support you. We’re with you.” They need to hear that America has their back, Waltz urged. As quiet as the Biden administration has been on the issue, we can change that by pressuring this president to stand with the Cuban people, he insisted — especially as they make this “brave and incredible protest against the authoritarianism that is communism and that is socialism.”

In the meantime, Perez pleads, “Pray for us. Pray for the people in Cuba. Pray for the pastors in Cuba, because everybody has fear of what the government can do to them.” Right now, Cuban officials are closing churches. They’re restricting the salaries of the pastors. “So I want you to be praying for the pastors. And the second is pray for love among the people and try [to] defend… one to the other. So that’s like the biggest need that we have right now. And for us to get to preach the gospel all over Cuba, that can change lives, too.”

You can hear more from Perez on Wednesday night at 8:00 p.m. (ET) during our special Cuban-focused Pray Vote Stand. You’ll hear from people on the ground, policymakers, and church leaders about what we — as Christians — can do to help the hurting people of this nation turn the page on 62 years of oppression.

To Free Cuba, Make Guantanamo the New Ellis Island

July 21, 2021

Brilliant.

To Free Cuba, Make Guantanamo the New Ellis Island

By Ira Stoll, Special to the Sun | July 19, 2021

The people of Cuba are demonstrating extraordinary bravery by rising up for freedom and democracy against their brutal communist dictatorship. President Biden is reacting with a disgraceful display of foreign policy clumsiness.

The epitome of this was a July 13 statement by the secretary of homeland security, Alejandro Mayorkas, who arrived in America from Cuba in 1960 as a refugee. Mr. Mayorkas paid lip service to the idea that the Biden-Harris administration and the Department of Homeland Security “stand in solidarity with the Cuban people and their call for freedom from the repression and economic suffering that the Cuban’s authoritarian regime is causing.”

The secretary’s words that followed, however, undercut that: “The time is never right to attempt migration by sea. To those who risk their lives doing so, this risk is not worth taking. Allow me to be clear: if you take to the Sea, you will not come to the United States…. Any migrant intercepted at sea, regardless of their nationality, will not be permitted to enter the United States.”

What sort of “solidarity” does it show to refuse admission to Cubans fleeing a repressive regime?

Meanwhile, the Biden administration has dithered, leaking an internal debate about an “intervention” that might consist of providing internet access to Cuba. President John F. Kennedy didn’t succeed in liberating Cuba, but he did arm, train, and dispatch an invasion force and later sent assassins aimed at Castro. President Biden, by contrast, can’t even make up his mind about allowing the rebels to use a hot spot.

No wonder that a July 14 letter to President Biden from Congressman Mario Diaz-Balart complained, “to date, the administration has lacked the clarity that this pivotal moment requires.” The letter, also signed by Florida’s senators, the House Republican leader, and other members of Congress, accused the Biden-Harris administration of heading “down the path of weakness and moral equivalency.”

Could the Biden-Harris administration be afraid that Cuban immigrants will eventually become Republican voters? There are no fiercer opponents of socialism and communism than those who have suffered under those ideologies and know firsthand the misery they bring.

Or does the administration fear that a flood of incoming Hispanics would turn white swing voters against Democrats in the upcoming midterm elections, or in the 2024 presidential campaign? In other words, is Mr. Biden letting anti-immigrant sentiment dictate policy?

A more generous explanation is that Mr. Mayorkas is sincere when he warns of the dangers posed by maritime crossings during hurricane season in overcrowded boats or rafts of questionable seaworthiness. If safety is genuinely the practical problem, though, there is a ready solution available. America has a 45-square-mile naval station in Cuba at Guantanamo Bay.

The drowning risk for incoming Cuban refugees could be entirely eliminated by inviting the Cubans seeking freedom and democracy to make their way by land to Guantanamo. At the navy base, their applications could be processed, they could be vaccinated against Covid-19, and they could eventually be transported safely to America by airplane or in seaworthy vessels.

The images of this exodus would help advance what Mr. Biden professes to be a core foreign policy objective. In his July 15 “Washington Declaration” with Chancellor Merkel, Mr. Biden said, “We must act now to demonstrate that democracy delivers for our people at home and that democratic leadership delivers for the world.”

There’s no better demonstration to the world that freedom and democracy beat the so-called socialist paradise of Cuba than hundreds of thousands of people voluntarily picking up and leaving. The regime’s apologists such as socialist Senator Bernie Sanders claim Cuba has great education and health care. If communist authoritarianism is so great, why are people so eager to leave voluntarily for America?

The incoming immigrants would enrich America. Cuban-Americans whose families arrived in earlier waves of migration have been distinguished contributors to American life. They include Senators Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, members of Congress Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, Mario Diaz-Balart, and Maria Salazar, jazz musicians such as Arturo Sandoval, Chico O’Farrill, and Paquito D’Rivera, athletes like Olympic gold-medal swimmer Ryan Lochte and all-star Red Sox slugger J.D. Martinez. The father of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is a Cuban immigrant.

C. Bradley Thompson, who runs Clemson University’s Institute for the Study of Capitalism, made me chuckle recently with his newsletter quoting a satirical headline from the parody publication the Babylon Bee: “‘You Just Don’t Understand Socialism Like I Do,’ Says College Freshman To Man Who Escaped Socialism On A Raft.”

Further delay by Mr. Biden would fuel criticism that his foreign policy is being driven by naïve delusions rather than American interests and democratic values. The president has an opportunity, instead, to transform Guantanamo from a synonym for a terrorist prison into a modern-day Ellis Island.

PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY: ‘We’ll Never Stop Pay-For-Slay, [Mass Murdering] Terrorists Will Get Their Salaries’

July 21, 2021

But it is the Democratic state of Israel that Ben & Jerry’s decides to boycott. All to appease the far-Left, who support the anti-Semitic BDS Movement. Check out how “woke” the Palestinian Authority and Hamas is with their own people. Shame on Ben & Jerrys.

The “Biden” administration is plundering your hard earned tax dollars, stealing it right out of your childrens’ mouths and into the hands of genocidal mass murderers. Biden is illegitimate.

PA: ‘We’ll never stop pay-for-slay, terrorists will get their salaries’

“We must continue to pay and to ensure the allowances of the prisoners and their family members,” said a PA official.

By Lauren Marcus, World Israel News

The Palestinian Authority’s pay-for-slay policy, in which it pays salaries to prisoners convicted of terror offenses against Israeli citizens, has drawn international ire.

Israeli law permits the Jewish State to deduct terror payments from the taxes it collects on the behalf of the PA and freezing accounts linked to prisoners, putting a serious economic strain on Palestinian banks.

In 2018, former president Donald Trump cut off aid to the PA, stating that financial support would only be resumed if they agreed to abandon the pay-for-slay practice.

And as the PA seeks to strengthen ties with the Biden administration, officials have publicly downplayed the practice and suggested that a solution could be found to end the practice.

But according to a report from watchdog group Palestinian Media Watch, what the PA is telling the international community is in stark contrast to promises it’s giving to its constituents.

“Our position regarding the payment of the salaries and allowances of the prisoners and their families is firm,” read a July Facebook post from the PLO’s Prisoner Affairs Commission.

“This is their right, and it is anchored in all the international conventions and treaties, because our prisoners are prisoners of a liberation movement and freedom fighters.”

“Since [the start of] the Israeli threats and pressures on the banks that are active in Palestine, the position has been clear: We must continue to pay and to ensure the allowances of the prisoners and their family members,” read a July statement published in the PA daily Al-Hayat Al-Jadida.

On an official PA TV news broadcast, Minister of Communications and IT Is’haq Sidr explained that there was a new system in place via private ATMS not linked to specific banks, which would allow the families of prisoners to collect payments.

“We have activated an entire banking mechanism here that is a cash management system that transfers data between us and the ATMs,” he said.

“We have installed 20 ATMs in the residential areas where the beneficiaries of these services are located, and Allah willing we will reach 30 ATMs in the coming days.”

Biden’s Handlers’ Freeing of Guantanamo Detainee Highlights the Confusion and Failure of the ‘War on Terror’

July 21, 2021

Abdul Latif Nasser spent nineteen years in the Guantanamo prison camp without charge. This was a tremendous injustice, and was born of the confusion about what exactly we were facing after 9/11 in the first place. Bush called it a “war on terror,” and so we put enemy combatants in a prison camp. In past wars, soldiers who became prisoners of war were generally not tried; they were held until the end of hostilities and then released. But Bush’s war became Obama’s war and was then transformed by the latter into a war against “violent extremism,” which opened the door for the identity of the enemy to be shifted from jihadis to “white supremacists,” a label increasingly used of all non-Leftist Americans. Neither the war against “terror” or against “violent extremism” have any definable end point, so there was no end point for the jihadis in Guantanamo.

Meanwhile, many former Guantanamo detainees have returned to the jihad. Will Abdul Latif Nasser do so? Time will tell. But was anything done while he was at Gitmo to disabuse him of his jihadist sensibilities? Of course not. That would have been “Islamophobic.” Instead, he was given a Qur’an, the book that led him to wage jihad in the first place, in a manner that demonstrated that even the infidel U.S. had exaggerated reverence for the book: non-Muslim guards even wore gloves when handling it (because unbelievers are “unclean,” as per Qur’an 9:28). It is entirely possible that Abdul Latif Nasser is an even more hardened and determined jihadi than he was before. Your taxpayer dollars, and Washington’s willful ignorance, at work.

Guantanamo detainee Abdul Latif Nasser speaks out after release

by Guy Davies, ABC News, July 20, 2021:

A Guantanamo Bay detainee who spent nearly two decades at the notorious facility and thought he might not make it out alive spoke out after being released — the first prisoner freed by the Biden administration.

“I was born again on July 19. My birthday is no longer March 4. I was born yesterday on July 19,” Abdul Latif Nasser said in a statement shared with ABC News. “I have no words to describe my overwhelming sense of happiness and joy. It is like a miracle after 20 years to be home and celebrate Eid together with my family.”

On Tuesday, the legal charity Reprieve, which campaigned for his release and provided legal support, confirmed to ABC News that Nasser was reunited with his family in Morocco.

Nasser, whose case was profiled by ABC News in 2019, was first cleared for release from Guantanamo more than five years ago. He had been detained there for 19 years after he was captured in Afghanistan, alleged by the U.S. government to be an active member of the Taliban and then to have trained with al-Qaeda.

During his time at Guantanamo, he was never charged with a crime, and his lawyers stress that none of the U.S. government’s claims have been aired in a court of law. He was cleared for release in 2016 following a Periodic Review Board (PRB) hearing, set up by the Obama administration in 2011, in order to speed up the process recommending individuals for transfer away from the facility.

The PRB consists of officials from six major agencies, and all members of the board must recommend that law of war detention is no longer justified….

In a statement from Nasser’s brother, Mustafa, his family said were delighted Nasser was home in time for the Islamic festival, Eid al-Adha….

Facebook Launches Extremist Snitch Campaign

July 20, 2021

Want to mess with someone you dislike? Maybe some person hiding behind a pseudonym that insulted you on Facebook with an abandon that only an anonymous coward might muster? Well now you can. Facebook has made it easier than ever to snitch on your enemies.

“Are you concerned that someone you know is becoming an extremist,” is the unsolicited message popping up by the thousands, if not millions, on the feeds of unsuspecting users. Facebook then helpfully offers “confidential support.”

As reported in American Greatness, another new popup courtesy of Facebook is a warning that “you may have been exposed to harmful extremist content recently,” which goes on to say “you can take action now to protect yourself and others.”

What irony. How is this not an ominous new escalation in the war on free speech and unmanipulated thought? Where exactly is the line drawn that separates the “extremists” from the rest of us? And how can we trust a company to be impartial when applying that definition, when it is ran by a CEO that spent over $400 million dollars to buy a national election and put his senescent puppet into the White House?

To those with a sense of history and more than a little skepticism over man’s capacity to remain civilized, these moves are not isolated or insignificant. They are part of a rapidly progressing movement to concentrate economic and political power and silence dissent.

The apparent hypocrisy, where looting, vandalism, violence and intimidation is tolerated when motivated by favored causes, while mere ideas are crushed if they challenge those causes, erases any credibility Facebook – or any of the big online platforms – might otherwise have. They’re not looking for extremists. They’re looking for political dissidents who are on the wrong side.

The day may come when people on the Left realize the con. Because this ongoing transformation of America into an oligarchy will not end well for the foot soldiers on the Left, regardless of how useful they are today. That day may not come too soon.

Charter Flights Getting Ready to Fly Thousands of Afghans to American Cities

July 20, 2021

VIDEO: Illegal Immigrants from Ghana, Brazil, Chile Welcomed Across U.S. Border.

I’ve been writing about this news over at RRW, but figured that since I have more readers here at ‘Frauds and Crooks’ it is important to mention it here as well.

What has me so annoyed is that virtually no reports I have seen, about the soon to begin airlift of supposed ‘interpreters’ out of Afghanistan, ever mention the fact that we have already brought in 70,000 or so special ‘refugees’ from Afghanistan alone in the last few years.

The media makes it sound like this 20,000 waiting for their ticket to America is the beginning of the movement of Afghanistan to a town near you. It isn’t! We will be conservatively upwards of 100,000, maybe more! before Biden is out of the White House. And, I say supposed interpreters because the vast majority of those coming are the families of interpreters or anyone who did anything for us.

At what point down the line does it stop?

Here (below) is my post the other day at RRW where I directed you to the numbers we have already admitted including the 2,931 who have already come in this fiscal year (448 in June).

And, in case you are wondering, these numbers are not included in Biden’s 62,500 refugee cap for this fiscal year or his planned 125,000 cap for FY22 that begins on October first of this year. SIV numbers are over and above that!

Here is NBC reporting that the first flights are coming this month….

Biden admin now plans to evacuate 2,500 Afghans directly to the U.S.

WASHINGTON — A small portion of the thousands of Afghans who worked for the U.S. government will be flown directly to the U.S., while a larger group will be evacuated to third countries or military bases overseas where their visa paperwork will be reviewed, three administration officials told NBC News.

As U.S. troops leave the country, the Biden administration has come under growing pressure from lawmakers, veterans groups and refugee rights organizations to take action to protect Afghans who face retaliation from the Taliban for their work as interpreters or in other jobs for U.S. troops and diplomats.

About 2,500 Afghans whose visa applications have cleared security vetting will be eligible for evacuation directly to a U.S. military base in the U.S., along with their family members, a State Department spokesperson and two Defense officials said.

“Shortly after they arrive, once the medical check-up requirement is complete, their immigration status will be adjusted so they can be eligible for refugee resettlement benefits that will help them and their families with the resettlement process,” the State Department spokesperson said.

[….]

The evacuation flights, using chartered civilian planes, are expected to begin within days, two Defense officials and two refugee advocates briefed on the matter said.

Watch for private charter planes unloading Afghans around the US, just as they have been unloading border invaders.

Here they make it sound like 20,000 is the max. It isn’t at all! We have already admitted nearly 70,000 Special Immigrant Visas from Afghanistan!

Roughly 20,000 Afghans who worked for the U.S. government over the past two decades have applied for a Special Immigrant Visa (SIV), a program set up for former interpreters, drivers and others who face mortal danger for their association with the United States.

There is more.

Maybe I should cut the corporate media some slack as they can’t get at the data that I screenshot in 2019 before it was taken down at the US State Department’s Refugee Processing Center.

And just to remind you, even if they are supposedly vetted, they aren’t able to sort out the riff-raff because of one serious flaw in the vetting process— Muslims are permitted by their ‘faith’ to lie to the infidel!

Here is one bad bunch the military told us to welcome to America!

Have they been deported yet?

Straight From The Marxist Playbook: Evidence Of Election Manipulation Mounts

July 20, 2021

In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Marxist community organizer Saul Alinsky taught Democrats that the path to political power is not to solve society’s problems, but to exacerbate them, to use them to create an atmosphere of perpetual crisis. As Obama’s former chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, put it: “Never let a good crisis go to waste.”

Democrats did not let the COVID-19 pandemic go to waste. Instead, they used the national health emergency as an excuse to implement unprecedented changes in America’s long-standing election process. One of those changes was sending millions of unrequested mail-in ballots to every dead or alive person on voter rolls, a change that opened the door to virtually unlimited opportunities for massive election fraud.

Alinsky believed that socialism is so morally and intellectually superior that its proponents must prevail at the ballot box at all costs. When the post-1960s Democratic Party adopted Alinsky as its most revered political strategist, it embraced his belief that Democrats should employ any means necessary to win elections. The primary means through which Democrats have carried out that reprehensible mandate is by election rigging.

In 2016, I began compiling a file of documented instances of suspected or actual election fraud in major Democrat strongholds. Following are partial findings of 2020 election audits in Arizona and Georgia. What appears below is but the tip of a massive iceberg of methodical election fraud just now being uncovered. Because the audit findings are so damning, Democrats are in full panic mode, and their propagandists in the once-respected mainstream media are leaving no stone unturned in attacking the audit results.

ARIZONA

● In a July 15 tweet, One America Network’s host Christina Bobb reported that an audit of 2020 voting in Arizona found that 11,326 voters were NOT on voter rolls on Nov. 7 but WERE on the rolls on Dec. 4, and were marked VOTED on Nov. 3. Biden won Arizona by less than 11,000 votes.

● Last week, The Gateway Pundit reported that a 2020 election audit team discovered that a large number of paper ballots in Maricopa County were printed on the wrong weight of paper stock. As revealed in this audit hearing video, an official Maricopa County newsletter states that its paper ballots are printed on a thick, specially-coated “VoteSecure” paper that prevents bleed-through of ink from pens used to mark voting selections. The audit team determined that 168,000 ‘ballot on demand’ ballots—most of which were cast on Election Day—were printed on a thin paper stock that allowed bleed-through, and were not in proper printing alignment.

● The Gateway Pundit also reported that the audit team found 74,000 ballots that were received and counted, but have NO RECORD of ever having been mailed out.

GEORGIA

● On July 13, Tucker Carlson reported a break-in at a 24/7 law enforcement-protected warehouse containing 140,000 Fulton County election ballots: “Depending on who you ask, the building contains evidence that either confirms of refutes the claim that voter fraud affected the outcome of the 2020 election in Georgia.” The break-in occurred shortly after deputies of the Democrat-controlled Fulton County Sheriff’s Department inexplicably left their posts. Who is responsible for the break-in and what did they take?

● According to Carlson’s report, numerous falsified audit tally sheets containing fabricated vote totals were found:

“A batch containing 59 actual ballot images for Joe Biden and 42 for Donald Trump was reported as 100 for Biden and zero for Trump. Seven batches of ballot images with 554 votes for Biden, 140 votes for Trump and 11 for Jo Jorgensen had falsified tally sheets that showed 850 votes for Biden, zero for Trump and zero for Jorgensen.”

● Are the stunning claims in Carlson’s report credible? You can decide for yourself by watching it, which I strongly encourage.

Finally, there are many documented instances where small groups of dishonorable Republicans have conspired to commit voter fraud. But to the best of my knowledge, there is nothing even remotely close to the nationwide Democrat Party election fraud operation cited in the first section of my recent Blue State Conservative article “Why I Will Bet Everything I Own That The 2020 Election Was Rigged.” The explosive information in that section is so shocking that it’s repeated below for the reader’s convenience.

Three weeks prior to the 2016 election, investigative journalist James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas released video in which high level Democrat operatives bragged about running a nationwide voter fraud operation financed by the DNC and the Clinton campaign:

“We’ve been busing in people [illegal voters] for 50 years and we’re not going to stop now.”
”[We know] this is illegal.”
“I think backward from how they would prosecute us, and then try to build out a method to avoid [getting caught].”
“We implement the plan across every Republican-held state.”
”[Our operation] causes massive changes in state legislatures and Congress.”
“Hillary knows what’s going on.”

One of the DNC operatives caught in the Project Veritas sting is a longtime Democrat named Bob Creamer. Found guilty in 2005 of tax violations and bank fraud, Creamer is no fringe player in Democratic Party politics. According to the Daily Caller News Foundation, official visitor logs show the convicted felon visited the Obama White House 342 times, including 47 personal meetings with President Obama.

Although Creamer was forced to resign in disgrace, the Democrat dirty tricks operative was honored with a front row seat at President Obama’s Farewell Address in January 2017. Click here to see an NBC News screengrab of Creamer and his wife seated directly in front of the podium where President Obama spoke. In the Democratic Party, involvement in a nationwide voter fraud operation is worthy of being awarded the most coveted seat in the house. To think that Democrats didn’t use every dirty trick in the book to rig the 2020 election defies logic.

Jen Psaki Banned From Social Media For Spreading Misinformation

July 20, 2021

WASHINGTON, D.C.—The Biden administration has decided to crack down hard on those who spread covid misinformation on social media. Because of this, Press Secretary Jen Psaki has been promptly and permanently removed from all social media platforms.

“We take this ban very seriously,” a Biden official said. “Ol’ Jen had an enormous reach online, and our system received so many notifications of misinformation by her that she was automatically removed.”

Psaki now has a lifetime ban on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TiKTok, and even lower traffic sites such as AOL Instant Messenger. The social media ban is as thorough as it is severe in hopes of teaching others a lesson about spreading misinformation.

Many people were surprised to see the government ban the press secretary, but it seems that even they were fooled by the onslaught of misinformation. They just regret that they didn’t see it and ban her sooner.

“Our algorithms confirmed that Jen Psaki spreads more misinformation in one press conference than most other people do in their entire lives,” said Mark Zuckerberg after he confirmed Facebook would permanently be removing her from the social network. “We expected it to just get far-right QAnon crazies, but the algorithm doesn’t lie. All hail the algorithm!”

“All hail the algorithm!” chanted his army of Facebook interns standing dutifully nearby.

Facebook Introduces New ‘Report Post To The White House’ Button

July 20, 2021

MENLO PARK, CA—As part of an attempt to slow the spread of misinformation on its platform, Facebook has introduced a new “report post to the White House” button.

The feature allows you to flag posts for the Biden administration to review for misinformation. Handy for opinions you disagree with, comments critical of the government, and any expressions of freedom or other anti-government sentiments, the button will instantly cause any post to be reviewed by the current administration. Biden staffers can then check whether or not the post violates its standards of truth and flag the user for further monitoring by the government.

“We applaud Facebook, our new fourth branch of government, for taking these steps,” said Jen Psaki. “This will go a long way to helping us suppress information we find displeasing.”

Those who get flagged multiple times will be candidates for reeducation in Biden’s Gulags for Spreaders of Misinformation or a reduced “social credit score.”

Calling Europe’s Floods ‘Climate’ is Unscientific Propaganda

July 20, 2021

“When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.”

To the warming-Left, every natural weather event looks like “climate.”

Europe has been hit by devastating floods with the death toll reaching 188 and rising. Of course the usual suspects are exploiting this genuine, heart-rending tragedy to advance their climate agenda.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel said that Germany must “be faster in the battle against climate change.”

“Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo said the link with climate change was clear.”

No less an expert than teenage high school dropout Greta Thunberg posted:

Deadly heatwaves, floods, storms, wildfires, droughts, crop failures… This is not “the new normal.”

We’re at the very beginning of a climate and ecological emergency, and extreme weather events will only become more and more frequent.

After the catastrophic recent developments – especially in Western Europe – everyone seems to be talking about the climate emergency, and rightly so. But as soon as these tragedies are over we’ll most likely forget about it and move on like before. Unless we treat the crisis like a crisis all the time, we will not be able to halt the climate emergency.

All three of them, along with the rest of the politicians, media and pressure groups attributing Europe’s flooding to climate are shamefully wrong.

Does anyone rationally believe that Europe’s floods, or the heatwave in the western U.S. for that matter, were meaningfully worse because the temperature of the Earth warmed slightly, far less than climate models projected, almost entirely last century?

Australia’s intrepid Joanne Nova did her usual no-nonsense job of showing that Europe’s floods, devastating though they may be, are historically normal. In fact, in 1714 Europe flooded on Christmas Eve killing 14,000! “It’s as if European history doesn’t exist,” she writes (posted at CFACT.org).

Every so often Europe’s rivers will inevitably flood. The flooding will be worse when, as happened this time, pressure systems leave the weather lingering in place, rather than pushing the storm rapidly through. This is how Hurricane Dorian devastated the Bahamas two years ago. This type of extreme weather event cannot be prevented through taxation, redistribution, carbon trading, windmills, solar panels, or electric vehicles.

We can, however, protect people and property from extreme weather through forecasting, early warning, preparedness and response.

This is where Europe’s bureaucrats devastatingly dropped the ball. This is the preventable man-made disaster.

The London Times reports that the reason for the flood’s terrible loss stems from a “monumental failure of the warning system.” Excerpts via the U.K.’s GWPF at Climate Depot:

The first signs of catastrophe were detected nine days ago by a satellite orbiting 500 miles above the tranquil hills around the Rhine river.

Over the next few days a team of scientists sent the German authorities a series of forecasts so accurate that they now read like a macabre prophecy: the Rhineland was about to be hit by “extreme” flooding, particularly along the Erft and Ahr rivers, and in towns such as Hagen and Altena.

Yet despite at least 24 hours’ warning that predicted, almost precisely, which districts would be worst afflicted when the rains came, the flood still caught many of its victims largely unawares…

“People should have been receiving warnings; people should have understood the warnings. It’s no use having massive computer models predicting what’s going to happen if people don’t know what to do in a flood.”

Instead, the overwhelming majority of people in the path of the floods carried on with their everyday lives, oblivious to the danger, as the waters began to rise.

Western Europe had all the infrastructure it needed to protect its people. It failed to use it.

Don’t let Europe’s failed bureaucracy wiggle off the hook by shifting the blame to “climate.” Europe was going to flood whether you drove to work and used electricity or not. The weather warnings were clear, but not shared with the public. Tragic.

There are a few particularly onerous weasel words the global warming campaign uses when natural disaster strikes. Warming makes extreme weather “more likely” and “more severe,” they say. The fact that global temperature did not make the disaster meaningfully more likely or severe they leave out entirely. This is where the media fails its responsibility and declines to ask the relevant questions.

The New York Times reports that team warming is planning to use “rapid attribution” of natural weather events to climate in an attempt to preempt those of us prepared to present the scientific and historical evidence that falsifies their claims.

That’s how human behavior leads to weather that kills — as it did in Europe.
