Biden's Covid taskforce 'ethicist' once argued anyone older than 75 is 'useless'

Ezekiel Emanuel

Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel
President-elect Joe Biden has already assembled a task force to target the most immediate crisis his new administration will face: getting the COVID-19 pandemic under control. One of the members is an oncologist and bioethicist named Ezekiel Emanuel, who once wrote an essay for The Atlantic arguing that life is not worth living after 75 years old.

"Living too long is also a loss," Emanuel wrote in the October 2014 edition of The Atlantic. "It renders many of us, if not disabled, then faltering and declining, a state that may not be worse than death but is nonetheless deprived." Emanuel went on to argue that "creativity, originality and productivity are pretty much gone for the vast, vast majority of us" by 75.

The argument is that modern science has gone overboard in the "valiant effort to cheat death and prolong life as long as possible," stating that "I think this manic desperation to endlessly extend life is misguided and potentially destructive."

Comment: Emanuel was part of the Obama administration. Looks like Biden's handlers are trying to pick up where he left off. Does Biden even remember he is 77 years old? By Emanuel's lights, he is ready for the scrap-heap.

Gloating neocons proposing ideological genocide hint at what's really on the menu when Biden 'builds back better'

The apparent victory of Democrat Joe Biden over President Donald Trump has triggered Pavlovian salivating from neoliberal centrists who've pinned every wrong on Trump - and now demand the total destruction of his supporters.

Not just Trump, but his backers in the Republican Party and the everyday "deplorables" who post favorably about him must be destroyed, the narrative managers have decreed. Demanding what sounds for all the world like a Stalinist purge, they have raised a cry of "Never Again" - as if the Trump administration's crimes were any worse than those of his predecessors. The aim of the anti-Trump #Resistance has shifted from removing him from office to ensuring all traces of the ideas he brought into mainstream discourse be destroyed forever, full stop.

Comment: There is overwhelming evidence of electoral fraud, which is why the halls of power in the US are currently abuzz with lawsuits and formal requests for recounts/audits/canvassing electoral districts.

Despite wall-to-wall MSM propaganda, it is too early to declare the overall result. And that's only because something extremely dubious happened in the wee hours of November 4th when all vote counting trends switched from pointing to Trump winning a landslide victory to Biden *just* beating him.

Papers, please: Airline groups embrace 'digital health passports' over quarantines, Covid shutdowns continue to cripple industry

covid passport
Three airline trade groups are calling for the adoption of digital health passports like the World Economic Forum- and Rockefeller-backed CommonPass in place of the quarantines and border closures that have slashed their profits.

Oneworld, Star Alliance, and SkyTeam - three of the largest global airline groups which together represent 60 percent of the world's passenger air capacity - issued a statement praising smartphone-based health pre-clearance apps like CommonPass on Wednesday, urging governments to mothball the "blunt instrument" of quarantines and lockdowns and adopt intrusive digital health technology instead.

The airlines cited recent testing of CommonPass, which purports to offer a trusted international standard for documenting a passenger's compliance with Covid-19 health regulations, as well as a recent report from the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) in their plea for governments to reopen closed borders and roll back mandatory-on-arrival quarantines for travelers who've installed the app.

Comment: Online ticket selling agent Ticketmaster is already demanding similar rules. The vultures are not far behind:
Ticketmaster is said to be working on "a framework for post-pandemic fan safety that uses smartphones to very fans' vaccination status or whether they've tested negative for the coronavirus within a 24 to 72 hour window," the outlet stated, suggesting an Orwellian hybrid of Chinese-style social credit scores and the sort of digital "vaccine certificates" billionaire Microsoft founder Bill Gates hinted at in the early days of the pandemic.

The procedure is expected to combine three elements - the use of a Ticketmaster digital ticketing app, one of a burgeoning crop of third-party health certification apps like CLEAR Health Pass, and being tested at or vaccinated by one of the many rapid testing sites springing up all over the US and Western Europe.

Wannabe concertgoers would have to either prove they'd gotten the jab or show proof they'd tested negative for Covid-19 within one to three days of the show, depending on the type of test. The individual would have their results sent to the certification app, which would pass their green (or red) signal on to Ticketmaster. At that point, they'd be allowed into the event. The app will also facilitate contact-tracing and provide concertgoers with staggered arrival times to avoid excessive crowds at the entrance.

As Yovich suggested, plenty of opportunists are stepping up to the plate to 'help' Ticketmaster evolve and adapt to the brave new world of Covid-19. "The experience of attending live events will look completely different," acknowledged Marianne Herman, co-founder of reBUILD20, a consultancy aimed at helping events and entertainment venues reorient their activities to the "new normal" of the virus. "Innovation married with consistent implementation will provide a framework to get the live sports and event industry back to work."
Kiss life as you've known it goodbye. The cage is snapping shut for all but the elites.

Election night data from all states showed MILLIONS of votes either switched from Trump to Biden or "lost"

US election voting
Conclusion using analysis of data from Dominion and other voting systems

We've reported on numerous events in the 2020 election which are being referred to as system 'glitches' in the media. Last night we provided another 'glitch', this time in Wisconsin, which if reversed would eliminate Biden's reported vote lead in the state. Tonight we have obtained an unaudited analysis of data available for all the states looking for system glitches and other oddities in vote counts related to the Presidential race only.

Last night we reported on another so called system 'glitch', this time in a county in Wisconsin. Evidence was provided to us that showed that the vote totals for Rock County appeared to be switched between President Trump and Joe Biden. 9,516 votes were eliminated from President Trump and moved to Joe Biden. This 19,032 vote difference when corrected would eliminate Biden's lead in Wisconsin.

In the post last night we also identified issues we've reported on in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Georgia where similar 'glitches' occurred.

Comment: Some of TrumanBlack's raw comments. If one has the chops to test his work, he has listed all his sources here:
I saw the video on The Gateway Pundit [ https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/11/breaking-huge-another-system-glitch-captured-live-cnn-election-night-20000-votes-swapped-trump-biden-video/ ] and I decided to do some digging of my own, into a more reputable source that can verify that the glitch was indeed real, and that it affected the votes, instead of it being just a display glitch on that news channel. So I went digging into the Edison data [ https://static01.nyt.com/elections-assets/2020/data/api/2020-11-03/race-page/pennsylvania/president.json] and I found this damning evidence [ https://i.maga.host/RNPN3Oz.png ]. As can be seen in the image, only 54 votes were added, but the ratio changed in Biden's favor by a whole 0.6%! This is proof that not only did the glitch happen, but it doesn't seem to have been reverted at all.

EDIT : BIG UPDATE, I made a script to run through the data and gather all instances where votes switched from Trump to Biden, Lost Votes means that the total amount of votes counted decreased by that amount throughout the counting. I've only done states that use Dominion Voting Systems so far.

EDIT 2: Added ALL the states, and separated by voting systems, although no state uses exclusively one system as far as I know.

Edit 3: Re-ordered the states, first by switched votes, then by lost votes.

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

Switched votes are votes that were taken from Trump and given to Biden.

Lost votes are voted that disappeared during the counting, from both candidates.

There might be a small overlap between Switched votes and Lost votes.

🚨🚨🚨WE DECIDED TO LEAVE THIS NUMBERS UP SO YOU CAN SEE HOW OUR RESEARCH HAS EVOLVED
The data is from Edison Research, it is used for election coverage by at least ABC News, CBS News, CNN and NBC News. It is also used for the website of the NYT, and probably others as well.

I scraped the data from the NYT website, here [ https://static01.nyt.com/elections-assets/2020/data/api/2020-11-03/race-page/pennsylvania/president.json ] to check for other states, replace "pennsylvania" in the link with the state you want to check, for states that have spaces in their names, like new york, write new-york instead.

Take this picture for example. [ https://i.maga.host/RNPN3Oz.png ]

It's like this:

Nr.187 : 2,984,468(Total votes) * 0.566(Trump share of the votes) = 1,689,208.888

Nr.188 : 2,984,522 * 0.56 = 1,671,332.32

Do the same thing for Biden, and you'll see that he gained the votes that Trump lost.

I made a program that basically checks every single change in votes, does the above to check if votes were switched, then adds them all up to get the total amount of switched votes.

Here is the link to a rar file containing all the .json files for the states, and the fraudcatch.py file, you'd need to download python 3.8.2 to use it, click EDIT with idle, then in the window that pops up click Run, to check how many votes were switched from Trump to Biden in a state, you then type findfraud('hawaii') for example, replace hawaii with the name of the file of the state you want to check, the file for new hampshire is named newhamp for example, so findfraud('newhamp'), to check the total lost votes (For both candidates) do lostvotes('newhamp') for example. https://workupload.com/file/s7s8SARjjqh

[pede444wow] I took the json files that are included here, and wrote a python script to convert the critical data to one csv file, so you can analyze it in excel:

First shot across the bow: Georgia announces 'full hand recount' and 'AUDIT' of votes in 2020 election

President Donald Trump • Former VP Joe Biden • 2020 Presidential Debate
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger announced Wednesday morning that there will be an audit and full hand recount of votes in the state for the 2020 presidential election. Currently, Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden leads President Donald Trump in the Peach State by about 14,000 votes.

"Georgia's secretary of state has announced a full hand recount of the presidential race; Biden leads by about 14,000," reported Zeke Miller, citing The Associated Press.


"This will help build confidence. It will be an audit, a recount and a recanvas all at once," Raffensperger said at the press conference, according to CBS News. "It will be a heavy lift."

Decision Desk HQ called Alaska for Trump earlier on Wednesday morning, awarding him the state's three electoral votes. And on Tuesday, the outlet called North Carolina for the president, as well, earning POTUS another 15 electoral votes.


Comment: If this flips Georgia for Trump, he's halfway there.

It will obliterate in one fell swoop the MSM's stance that no voter fraud took place (or that insufficient fraud took place to win it for Biden), and likely open the gates for several more swing states to be properly 'called' for Trump.

Obama official Ben Rhodes admits Biden camp is already working with foreign leaders... which is exactly what they persecuted General Flynn for

January 10, 2017 • Washington, DC
In late 2016, the FBI investigated Gen. Michael Flynn when he was a transition official for the possible "crime" of talking to Russia about foreign policy. Why can Biden do this?

Two weeks after Donald Trump won the 2016 election, the President-elect named Gen. Michael Flynn to be his National Security Advisor in both the transition and the new administration. Flynn, who had previously served as President Obama's Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency and then campaigned for Trump, quickly got to work in his new position by reaching out to his counterparts in foreign governments, as is customary for national security transition team officials.

Comment: The Democrats and their intel servants destroyed General Flynn with a bogus charge. Four years later, his trial outcome is still languishing in the court while the Biden cabal is doing the exact same thing.

'I was in Philadelphia watching fraud happen. Here's how it went down'

philadelphia convention center
At issue was President Trump's request for an order changing the way Pennsylvania absentee and mail-in ballots are being reviewed at the Philadelphia Convention Center.

Legacy media are lying when they claim that all of President Trump's allegations of voter fraud are baseless. I know, because I argued a case on the president's behalf in federal court in Philadelphia.

At issue was President Trump's request for an order changing the way Pennsylvania absentee and mail-in ballots are being reviewed at the Philadelphia Convention Center. CNN and others claim he "lost." That's false: he won. As I made that argument on behalf of the president's campaign, I can tell you what really happened.

Dead voters & Biden vans full of ballots: Trump legal team details shocking Nevada claims

Las vegas polling station nevada election fraud

A worker at a Las Vegas election polling station
President Trump's Nevada legal team beefed up its legal challenge to mail-in ballot signature verification in the state with startling claims of voter and ballot fraud.

Among the allegations: dead voters, votes from thousands who no longer live in Nevada, and a van marked "Biden-Harris" full of opened mail-in ballots.

Former Nevada Attorney General Adam Laxalt, who is helping Trump's legal effort in the state, detailed grievances that the campaign has with mail-in ballot signature verification in Clark County, Nevada, which accounts for the vast majority of voters in the state.

Comment: Big League Politics adds more information:
A poll worker with the Clark County Elections Department in Nevada is blowing the whistle in a signed affidavit making appalling allegations of electoral fraud that they claim has occurred in the key battleground state.

"We were told by (my team leader), and two other assistants to advise people who wanted to register to vote and did not have the proper Nevada ID/Driver's License, that they could go out in the parking lot and make an appointment with the DMV to get a Nevada ID/Driver's License, and then bring in proof of their appointment confirmation (either a paper copy or show it on their phone to us) and then they could be registered," the whistleblower said in their deposition.

"They were then permitted to vote with a provisional ballot, even though their appointments were not until January of 2021. We were told this was being allowed all over the Valley, at all polling places," they continued.

"I personally witnessed two people handing multiple unopened mail in ballot envelopes to two other people who then opened and filled out the ballots against the side of the Biden/Harris van. The same two people who marked the ballots then put the marked ballots in official pink and white envelopes. These individuals were not poll workers," they explained.

The whistleblower added that eventually "there were 5 or 6 additional people who formed a human wall, which moved as I walked by, apparently in an attempt to block my view of the four people who were opening envelopes, marking ballots, and placing those ballots in the pink and white return envelopes." This was ignored by the team leader when the whistleblower reported the violation through the proper channels.

"I regularly saw people walking in with multiple ballots. We were not allowed to talk to the monitors or observers. We were not supposed to say anything ever to the observers," the whistleblower said.

The whistleblower's entire deposition can be seen below, with Sean Davis of The Federalist noting that Nevada's democrat attorney general Aaron Ford has not taken any concrete action to investigate these explosive claims at the present time:

Benford's law and the 2020 presidential election - The numbers don't add up

trump biden
Benford's law (or the first-digit law) is an observation about the frequency of the most significant digit of naturally occurring numbers. Somewhat counter-intuitively (but with a well-understood explanation), small digits are more common than large ones, with around 30% of all values in a large collection beginning with 1, while only 4.6% start with 9. The probability for digit d is given by:

(P(d)=log_{10}(1+frac{1}{d}))

Benford's law is widely used in forensic accounting to detect phoney numbers, and evidence based upon these analyses has been admitted in a number of criminal trials. It is also used to detect scientific fraud in published data.

User "cjph8914" on GitHub has created a repository, 2020_benfords, which analyses the 2020 presidential election results for various districts and compares them with the expectation from Benford's law. Here are the results for precincts and wards in Fulton County, Georgia (containing Atlanta).
