Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani told Newsmax TV his legal team is ready to prove there was a concerted effort by the Democrat Party to exclude Republicans from observing questionable ballots in 10 states.

Giuliani also said the president has a good chance of overturning votes in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, which overwhelmingly voted for Democratic challenger Joe Biden.

"We think we have a good chance," Giuliani told Tuesday's "American Agenda" of two cities in Pennsylvania, "to have that vote overturned and not certified.

"The margin of victory [in the state] was only 40,00 after the president had been ahead by 700,000. I think we can show that this was part of a concerted effort on the part of the Democrat Party to do this in 10 different states, because the same thing they did in Philadelphia - herd the Republicans in corrals, not let them see the ballot - they did it in Pittsburgh, they did it in Detroit, they did it in Milwaukee, they did it in Phoenix, they did it in Las Vegas, they did it in all these places where they have this Democrat machine.

Philip Davies was paid £33,320 by the owner of Ladbrokes for 'providing advice on responsible gambling and customer service'.
Two Conservative MPs have accepted jobs with the gambling industry worth tens of thousands of pounds before a government review of betting laws, the Guardian can reveal.

The Ladbrokes owner, GVC, paid Philip Davies £49,980 for "providing advice on responsible gambling and customer service", according to parliamentary disclosures.

He accepted the first instalment of the money on 27 August but did not step down as a member of the select committee for digital, culture, media and sport, the department managing the forthcoming review of gambling regulation, until this week.

Davies did 124 hours of work for GVC at a rate of £403 per hour, 68 times the £5.93 minimum wage in 2011, when he suggested that employers should be allowed to pay disabled people less than that.

Trump considers founding digital media outlet to 'wreck' Fox News, report says

US President Donald Trump
President Trump is considering founding a digital media company to compete with Fox News, Axios reported on Thursday.

Trump has complained vociferously in recent months about Fox polls showing he would lose the presidency, and he was furious after the network projected Joe Biden as the winner of Arizona's electoral votes. Because establishing a cable news alternative to Fox would be expensive and logistically challenging, the president could attempt to found a digital media outlet and try to siphon away Fox subscribers.

"He plans to wreck Fox. No doubt about it," a source with knowledge of the plans told Axios.

The president currently claims that Democrats have "stolen" the election for Joe Biden, and may use rallies to amplify claims of voter fraud. At those rallies, the source said, Trump is "going to spend a lot of time slamming Fox."

Comment: Trump typically wears his heart on one sleeve and his angst on the other - out there in plain view.
Trump has not conceded an election loss to Biden, but is "very aware there is not a path to victory," a top White House aide told NBC reporter Peter Alexander on Thursday. However, the president is continuing to contest the results as a kind of "theater" because he thinks his supporters "deserve a fight," the aide said.
This inflammatory spin of 'no path to victory' is a non-sequitur as nation-rocking revelations of fraud and trashed protocols increasingly unfold, cracking the foundation of the election and thereby upping the odds of a legitimate Trump win. Of course there is 'a path to victory' and he is on it. Tell that aide: 'You're fired!'

UN acting envoy to Libya Stephanie Williams • Tunis, Tunisia • November 11, 2020
Political talks on Libya's future have reached agreement on holding elections within 18 months, the United Nations acting Libya envoy said on Wednesday, hailing a "breakthrough" in a peacemaking process that still faces great obstacles.

"There's real momentum and that's what we need to focus on and encourage," envoy Stephanie Williams said at a news conference in Tunis, where 75 Libyan participants chosen by the United Nations have been meeting since Monday. The meeting has reached preliminary agreement on a roadmap to "free, fair, inclusive and credible parliamentary and presidential elections" that also includes steps to unite institutions, she said.

Thursday's talks in Tunis will focus on a new unified transitional government to oversee the run-up to elections, with participants discussing its "prerogatives and competencies", Williams said. The new government would have to quickly address deteriorating public services and corruption, two issues that prompted protests on both sides of the frontlines this summer, she added.

The roadmap also outlines steps to begin a process of national reconciliation, transitional justice and address the plight of displaced people .

Biden's Covid adviser: 'Lockdown of 4 to 6 weeks could control pandemic until vaccines arrive'


Comment: And we're to believe a majority of Americans voted FOR this?

A top adviser on coronavirus to former Vice President Joe Biden says that a lockdown of 4 to 6 weeks could control the pandemic and help revive the economy.

Dr. Michael Osterholm made the comments Wednesday in an interview with Yahoo! Finance.

The director of the Center of Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota said that the government should consider a package to pay for the wages lost by Americans during that time. Osterholm said:
"We could pay for a package right now to cover all of the wages, lost wages for individual workers for losses to small companies to medium-sized companies, for city, states, county governments. We could do all of that, and if we did that, then we could lockdown for 4 to 6 weeks.

"And if we did that we could drive the numbers down, like they've done in Asia, like they did in New Zealand and Australia, and then we could really watch ourselves cruising into vaccine availability in the first and second quarter of next year and bringing back the economy long before that.

Comment: These are unqualified statistics questionably applied to an unremarkable strain of common flu. Fortunately, when Trump officially wins the election, we won't have to listen to this guy. Lockdowns do not revive the economy, nor do government subsidies. Increasing these two protocols would magnify the already disastrous effects attained and suffered - perhaps exponentially. Do we need one more nut-job COVID expert throwing pacification money at a cabal-made human disaster? NOPE.

Russia nears completion of new nuclear deterrence control site

Russia has almost completed a new command and control site from which its nuclear deterrence forces will be controlled, Vladimir Putin has announced, saying the systems must be "simple and reliable" like a Kalashnikov rifle.

The new facility has an improved chance of survivability in an attack, including a nuclear strike, ensuring that Russia remains in control of its armed forces, the president said on Wednesday. This metric is crucial for nuclear deterrence, ensuring a retaliatory strike is launched in response to a decapitating first move and thus making such an escalation less likely.

The new command and control site has "practically absolute protection," the president said.

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."

'A change in weather outside the window': Moscow has not contacted Biden, playing down significance of US presidential transition

Russia has made no contact with representatives of likely US President-elect Joe Biden, and has no plans to get in touch. Earlier this week, the Kremlin announced it was holding off on congratulations until official confirmation.

Speaking to news agency TASS, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov explained that Moscow has a low opinion of the Democratic candidate, after Russia was accused by his party of influencing the US election in 2016.

"We have not had any contacts with representatives and staff of Joseph Biden," he said. "We treat this as a change in weather outside the window."

Britain should tax working from home at 5%, says Deutsche Bank

Researchers argue that people working at home have enjoyed gains that others have not
People who work from home should pay a 5 per cent tax for the privilege, an investment bank has recommended.

Researchers at Deutsche Bank said the tax would raise £6.9bn in the UK and £36bn in the US which could be paid to people who cannot work from home. Under the plan, grants of up to £2,000 would be made available to low-income workers and those threatened with redundancy.

The researchers argue that people working at home have enjoyed gains which many workers have not benefited from. Not only are they at less risk during the pandemic, they also save money by spending less which reduces economic activity and the tax it generates.

These changing habits cause problems for businesses, resulting in job losses which have primarily affected people who are unable to work from home.

Comment: Britain's economy is already in free-fall due to the covid nonsense plus the monumental ineptitude of the Brexit mess. How can DB think that adding to the average citizen's burden is going to improve matters?

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
