Also ridiculing "rigged elections" and "fake news" -- two other weapons used on him -- the Vermont Senator's relationship to the Democratic Party descends from loyal support to abject subservience.

At what would be the peak of Bernie Sanders' 2020 presidential campaign, the U.S. intelligence community, using anonymous leaks to The Washington Post, dropped a devastating bomb on the Vermont Senator. "U.S. officials have told Sen. Bernie Sanders that Russia is attempting to help his presidential campaign as part of an effort to interfere with the Democratic contest," the paper announced, citing "people familiar with the matter" whom the paper allowed to speak "on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive intelligence."

At the time of this perfectly timed leak, Sanders was on a major roll. He had effectively tied Pete Buttigieg for first place in the scandal-plagued Iowa caucus, in which an app developed and sold by Democratic Party operatives made it impossible to reliably count the votes, and then won the first primary in New Hampshire (Joe Biden finished fourth and fifth, respectively, declared all but dead by the punditocracy and Democratic donors).

Alito moves up Supreme Court deadline in key Pennsylvania mail-in ballot case

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito asked officials in Pennsylvania to file briefs by the morning of Dec. 8 in response to an emergency injunction petition filed by Republicans seeking to invalidate or rescind the results of the Nov. 3 presidential election in the Keystone State.

That day is the "safe harbor" deadline that requires controversies surrounding elections to be ended, so states can choose their electors before the Dec. 14 meeting of the Electoral College. Alito initially called for response arguments by Dec. 9, before moving the due date earlier by a day.

The new deadline signals that the Supreme Court intends to rule on the request for the injunction before the safe harbor deadline runs out.

Marc Elias, the top attorney leading the Democrats' post-election legal effort and who last month called the same lawsuit "frivolous," wrote on Twitter on Dec. 6 that he is "NOT worried about the date briefs are due" in the Supreme Court.

The Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court on Nov. 25 ordered state officials to not take any steps to perfect the certification of the election pending a resolution to the Republican lawsuit. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court overrode the injunction three days later, leading the plaintiffs to appeal to the nation's highest court.

Carter Page is asking a federal judge to allow him to be heard at the upcoming sentencing hearing for Kevin Clinesmith, a former FBI lawyer who admitted to altering an email from the CIA about the former Trump aide's relationship with the spy agency.

In a court filing submitted Friday, Page's attorneys also ask that he be granted restitution, saying that actions by Clinesmith and others on the FBI's Crossfire Hurricane team advanced the false theory that Page was a Russian spy.

Page's lawyer, Leslie McAdoo Gordon, asserted that Page has a right to speak at Clinesmith's sentencing under the Crime Victims' Rights Act, which allows the victims of federal crimes to be heard at public court proceedings.

American diplomats who suffered mystery illnesses at US embassies in Cuba and China may have been the victims of "directed" microwave radiation similar to that used by the Soviet Union.

A new report by the National Academy of Sciences, which was commissioned by the US State Department, is the latest attempt to find a cause for the puzzling symptoms that started to emerge in late 2016 among American personnel in Havana.

Between late 2016 and May 2018, several US and Canadian diplomats posted in Cuba's capital complained of health problems from an unknown cause. One US government count put the number of American personnel affected at 26.

Comment: Just yesterday Iran's Revolutionary Guard stated that the assassination of its top nuclear scientist was achieved with AI and a satellite controlled gun: Iranian nuclear scientist was killed using satellite-controlled gun, Iran's Revolutionary Guard claims

The first time Scott O'Grady made a splash in the news the Air Force pilot had been shot down on a mission over Bosnia in 1995. He survived in the woods by eating leaves, grass and bugs for six days before he was rescued. He returned to the U.S. a hero, was welcomed by President Bill Clinton and appeared on the cover of Time magazine.

He's in the news again, this time for different reasons.

The White House on Monday nominated O'Grady to be assistant secretary of defense for international security affairs at the Pentagon.

Courageous Pennsylvania truck driver testifies 'truckloads of ballots' being shipped from New York to Pennsylvania before the 2020 election

On Tuesday the Amistad Project held a USPS Whistleblower Press Conference. There is one part of this event that went virtually unnoticed until now. The truck driver from Pennsylvania is an American hero who wanted to save his country.

On Tuesday news broke that truckloads of ballots were being shipped from New York to Pennsylvania before the 2020 election. One truck driver who drove one of these truckloads stepped forward to report the shipment. He had much to lose and little to gain in doing so, like so many witnesses we saw the past couple weeks.

Comment: Whistleblowers Jesse Morgan and Ethan Pease gave a followup press conference

Both whistleblowers sit down with Phill Kline and Jacquweline Timmer and talk more about their experiences coming out talking about the voter fraud they separately witnessed. Both men shared their fears before deciding to speak out, but they both felt it was the right thing to do, and decide to take a courageous step in coming forward. These men deserve our respect and support, unfortunately, today we experience public shaming simply for expressing a different option or different belief than someone else. We must not be subject to fear or intimidation from those who wish for nothing more than to steal and take our freedoms away.

Amistad Project new report: Electoral College deadlines are not set in stone

The Amistad Project of the non-partisan Thomas More Society released a white paper on Friday making the case that current Electoral College deadlines are arbitrary and not set in stone, contrary to what most news outlets have reported.

The white paper says that these deadlines — Dec. 8 for disputes to be resolved and Electors to be determined, and Dec. 14 for the Electoral College to meet in person and vote in their respective states — are a "direct impediment to states' obligations to investigate disputed elections."

According to the Amistad Project press release, the paper examines the history of Electoral College deadlines, which
"are not only elements of a 72-year old federal statute with zero Constitutional basis, but are also actively preventing the states from fulfilling their constitutional — and ethical — obligation to hold free and fair elections. Experts believe that the primary basis for these dates was to provide enough time to affect the presidential transition of power, a concern which is fully obsolete in the age of internet and air travel."
Phill Kline, the director of the Amistad Project, argues in this paper that the Dec. 8 "safe harbor" deadline does not apply when there have been "flagrant violations of state election laws" that have "affected the outcome of the popular vote."

Comment: Did Amistad discover wiggle room to allow a more thorough evaluation of the election debacle? It just gets more and more interesting...!

Predictive programming? Israeli publishers have been writing about a COVID-like pandemic for years

The general public's willing acceptance of the draconian restrictions placed on mobility and freedom of assembly due to the coronavirus was "predicted" in fictional novels and other artistic creations over the last few decades. Is it a matter of life imitating art or something more sinister?

Life imitates art is a phrase we often hear when certain events are seemingly foretold in a painting, a song, or any number of the creative disciplines people engage in. Books, in particular, are a generous source of such lore. Sometimes, the separation between the work of art's making and the foreshadowed event is eerily short, leading to speculation that more than simple creative genius was behind its production.

Drawing too close a link between an artist's inspiration and a future event mirrored in their work is a risky proposition, but sometimes the events depicted on the page or the screen parallel real life so closely, that questions of predictive programming arise ­- a concept many in academia dismiss as the ravings of "conspiracy theorists" in a familiar pattern of discrediting narratives that challenge authority.

Alan Watt, the man credited with postulating the notion of predictive programming, describes it as
"a subtle form of psychological conditioning provided by the media to acquaint the public with planned societal changes to be implemented by our leaders. If and when these changes are put through, the public will already be familiarized with them and will accept them as natural progressions, thus lessening possible public resistance and commotion."

Comment: Familiarity predicts indifference and that is the first goal for acceptance.

With Biden 'in queue': Pelosi u-turns on her monstrous Covid-19 relief bill

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is being accused of having spent months blocking Covid-19 relief to help Joe Biden and hurt Donald Trump, after she said a smaller bill is now possible thanks to a lack of "other considerations."

Pelosi (D-California) changed her tune on Covid-19 relief during a press conference on Friday, where she appeared more willing to cut a deal with Republicans than in previous months.

Pelosi previously led House Democrats for months in a battle with the White House, unwilling to agree to anything less than the $2 trillion-plus envisioned by the House-passed HEROES Act. The California congresswoman even referred to a previous $1.6 trillion stimulus as not even "half a loaf."

In her Friday press conference, however, she was much more willing to back a $900 billion package proposed as the basis for negotiations with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky).

Asked by a reporter if rejecting the $1.6 trillion package was a mistake now that one worth much less is being discussed, Pelosi snapped at the characterization and insisted blocking relief previously was not a "mistake."

"I'm going to tell you something, just don't characterize what we did before as a mistake as a preface to your question if you want an answer," she said.

Comment: Pelosi's financial postering, by holding funding hostage, was never for or about the needs of the people. She used it as a spiteful dealbreaker, dragging out any passage of the bill until the upcoming shutdown vote - a two-for-one political squeeze play.
What kind of party, what kind of leadership, holds the country in a choke hold in order to achieve a political win? The same kind that infiltrated the sanctity of the election to fake results for power and personal gain - the people be damned. The reputation façade of the US? Completely flushed. Stripped to the bone. It's all out there for all to see.

Judge Emmet Sullivan is still refusing to dismiss Michael Flynn case

In a Freedom of Information case related to former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, District Judge Reggie Walton said on Friday that Judge Emmet Sullivan doesn't have a lot of options in dealing with the fact that President Trump granted Flynn a full pardon, "unless he takes the position that the wording of the pardon is too broad, in that it provides protections beyond the date of the pardon."

Walton, according to the National Law Journal, said:
"I don't know what impact that would have, what decision he would make, if he makes that determination that the pardon of Mr. Flynn is for a period that the law does not permit. I don't know if that's correct or not. Theoretically, the decision could be reached because the wording in the pardon seems to be very, very broad. It could be construed, I think, as extending protections against criminal prosecutions after the date the pardon was issued. I don't know if Judge Sullivan will make that determination or not."
Emmet Sullivan, who was presiding over the case, refused to dismiss the charges even though there was no one attempting to prosecute the case. The legal process has dragged on through the appeals process, and finally President Trump issued a full pardon on November 25. On November 30, the DOJ notified Sullivan of the pardon, but he has still refused to drop the case.
