by Soeren Kern • December 16TH On December 11, Germany recorded 29,875 new coronavirus cases, a one-day record, according to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) for infectious diseases. Economists are warning that the second coronavirus lockdown has increased the risk of another recession in Europe's largest economy. "After the coronavirus crisis, Germany will look different: Now many companies, such as car factories, suppliers, steelworks and mechanical engineering companies will be closed forever. Even if the country is unlocked again, companies that are gone cannot start up again. Consumers and entrepreneurs are unsettled. This is poison for the economy and jobs." — Tichys Einblick, German blog, December 1, 2020 In Sweden, which has stood out for its "no lockdown" approach to the coronavirus pandemic, Prime Minister Stefan Löfven imposed the toughest restrictions yet after a spike in the number of infected people filling intensive care units. He said that the "unprecedented" response was needed if Sweden is to "curb transmission."

Beginning on December 16, all non-essential shops and businesses, as well as all schools and daycare centers, will be closed until at least January 10. The new restrictions, which were agreed upon after talks between German Chancellor Angela Merkel and the leaders of Germany's 16 federal states, come after less intrusive lockdown measures that began on November 2 failed to significantly bring down the number of infections.

Today, however, it is the watchdog that needs watching. It was all right for the New York Times, as its editor-in-chief, Dean Baquet, admitted, to have "built our newsroom" around the fake Russia Hoax for two years, but substantiated facts concerning the Biden family's influence peddling were apparently "not fit to print." So far, still to be answered, is the question: If election officials can ignore legalities with impunity, how, going forward, can there be trustworthy elections?
 (Image source: iStock) The "fourth estate" refers to freedom of the press. The term may have first been used by the philosopher-statesman Edmund Burke, who in 1787 highlighted the press as free and apart from the other three British "estates" -- clergy, royalty and commoners. The modern meaning, however, refers to the press as a fourth and free power -- as even a "watchdog" -- over the executive, legislative and judicial branches of our government. Today, however, it is the watchdog that needs watching. The foundation on which the United States is built, freedom of speech and freedom of the press, is enshrined in the First Amendment to the US Constitution: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

The system intentionally generates an enormously high number of ballot errors. The electronic ballots are then transferred for adjudication." — Allied Security Operations Group, Antrim Michigan Forensics Report, Revised Preliminary Summary, v2, December 13, 2020. "The allowable election error rate established by the Federal Election Commission guidelines is of 1 in 250,000 ballots (.0008%). We observed an error rate of 68.05%. This demonstrated a significant and fatal error in security and election integrity." — Allied Security Operations Group, Antrim Michigan Forensics Report, Revised Preliminary Summary, v2, December 13, 2020. "Significantly, the computer system shows vote adjudication logs for prior years; but all adjudication log entries for the 2020 election cycle are missing. The adjudication process is the simplest way to manually manipulate votes. The lack of records prevents any form of audit accountability, and their conspicuous absence is extremely suspicious since the files exist for previous years using the same software." — Allied Security Operations Group, Antrim Michigan Forensics Report, Revised Preliminary Summary, v2, December 13, 2020. "On November 21, 2020, an unauthorized user unsuccessfully attempted to zero out election results. This demonstrates additional tampering with data." — Allied Security Operations Group, Antrim Michigan Forensics Report, Revised Preliminary Summary, v2, December 13, 2020. "Based on the preliminary results, we conclude that the errors are so significant that they call into question the integrity and legitimacy of the results in the Antrim County 2020 election to the point that the results are not certifiable. Because the same machines and software are used in 48 other counties in Michigan, this casts doubt on the integrity of the entire election in the state of Michigan." — Allied Security Operations Group, Antrim Michigan Forensics Report, Revised Preliminary Summary, v2, December 13, 2020.
 A forensic audit of voting equipment produced by Dominion Voting Systems and used in the State of Michigan for the 2020 election, ordered by the 13th Circuit Court for Michigan's Grand Traverse, Antrim and Leelanau counties, has found major irregularities in the tabulation of votes.

(Image source: rossograph/Wikimedia Commons) A forensic audit of voting equipment produced by Dominion Voting Systems and used in the State of Michigan for the 2020 election has found major irregularities in the tabulation of votes. The audit found a 68% error rate in Antrim County, where thousands of votes for U.S. President Donald J. Trump were wrongly "flipped" to former Vice President Joe Biden on November 3, 2020. The high error rate was, according to the auditors, due to an algorithm placed inside the Dominion software that assigned different weights to votes cast for different candidates at a 2/3 to 1/3 ratio. This allowed election officials to apply a weighted numerical value to candidates and change the overall result. The declaration of winners was done on a basis of points, not votes, according to the auditors. Continue Reading Article by Chris Farrell • December 15, 2020 at 4:00 am AG Barr was installed to manage President Trump and put him on a glide-path to defeat in last month's election. President Trump did not select Barr to be his Attorney General -- the choice was made for the President by professional Republican political operatives and then presented to him as the only acceptable and Senate-confirmable solution.... When Judicial Watch obtained Justice Department records documenting that 27 phones from the Mueller team were mysteriously "wiped clean" -- what did Barr do? Nothing. Barr allowed Republicans to look at each other, nod and then smile about "what was coming" -- until it never materialized. No justice for Hillary, or Comey, or Strzok, or Brennan or the remaining 30--odd names in the coup litany.

(Photo by Oliver Contreras-Pool/Getty Images) In recent weeks I have asked, "Why Does Barr Let Wray Lie and Flout the Law?," and "Will They Really Get Away With It?" Then, just a few days ago, we learned that Attorney General (AG) Barr hid two probes into alleged criminal conduct of Hunter Biden for months. Barr also announced that he could not see any election fraud -- or that he could -- but it wasn't really that bad. Barr told the Associated Press, "To date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have effected a different outcome in the election" [Emphasis added]. That's like a mob witness answering, "I have no specific recollection, at this time." It does not engender deep confidence and faith. Continue Reading Article |
