Troubling foreign ties behind voting machines used in US

Behind a significant portion of voting machines used in the United States lies a complex web of questionable foreign ties, a hidden ownership structure, and transparency concerns with the software itself, as well as a connection between three key voting systems companies: Smartmatic, Sequoia Voting Systems, and Dominion Voting Systems.

Information from lawsuits, public records, and witness interviews helps to untangle this web.

The Epoch Times spoke with an intelligence source knowledgeable on Venezuela and its criminal activities, a former CIA official who is an expert in Latin American politics and counterterrorism, and a former director of Venezuela's National Electoral Council who was fired for exposing election fraud in the country. Two of the sources requested anonymity so they could speak freely on the matter.

L.A Sheriff refuses to enforce lockdown on struggling businesses, judge wants to see scientific proof for restrictions

A Los Angeles judge has tentatively ruled that Los Angeles County acted "arbitrarily" and without "rational" justification when it ordered a closure to all outdoor dining at restaurants as a coronavirus-control measure. Superior Court Judge James Chalfant notes, however, that due to the state's overriding regional stay-at-home order that also includes an in-person dining ban, "outdoor restaurant dining in the county cannot reopen at this time."

When asked about the order on Monday, L.A. County Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer said that the data on mask-less people at restaurants is "crystal clear at every single level that you look at it."

"I don't think there's any debate that, where people are in close proximity with other people not in their household, not wearing a mask and mingling for extended periods of time talking, singing, sharing — there's an increased risk of transmission," said Ferrer.

Hundreds of restaurants banded together to push back against Democratic Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's recent coronavirus mandates, Fox Business reported Monday.

Joe Vicari, president of the Joe Vicari Restaurant Group in a Monday appearance said a total of 400 eateries in the state have joined the push against Whitmer's lockdowns, Fox reported. Michigan is nearing the end of a three-week pause that shuttered indoor dining and bar service, but the governor has indicated a willingness to re-extend the restrictions that end on Tuesday, according to Bridge Michigan.

"I called my restaurant groups in southeastern Michigan to band together," Vicari told Fox's Stuart Varney. "We had about 400 restaurants come together. We're standing united. We want to get to a solution with the governor to reopen restaurants."

Here's a list of crimes on Los Angeles' new District Attorney's do-not-prosecute list

George Gascon, Los Angeles County's new head prosecutor, unveiled an agenda Monday that will usher in changes to the local criminal justice system by his refusal to prosecute certain crimes on top of other sweeping changes.

Gascon, a former San Francisco District Attorney and former Los Angeles police officer, announced in a series of policy directives that many misdemeanor cases will be dismissed, saying that nearly half of those incarcerated on pre-trial misdemeanor offenses suffer from mental illness.

"Los Angeles County courts should not be revolving doors for those in need of treatment and services," one directive said.

As of Tuesday, many misdemeanor cases will be declined or dismissed prior to arraignment unless "factors for considerations" exist. The list of offenses includes trespassing, disturbing the peace, a minor in possession of alcohol, driving without a license, driving with a suspended license, making criminal threats, drug and paraphernalia possession, being under the influence of a controlled substance, public intoxication, loitering to commit prostitution and resisting arrest.

Chicago minority communities skeptical about COVID-19 vaccine

Some people are still skeptical of COVID-19 vaccines despite FDA approval and evaluation process.

Two vaccines currently seeking federal approval were shown to be safe and more than 90% effective in trails but a segment of public remains wary.

There have been big concerns in many minority communities about the safety of the new COVID-19 vaccine. Medical experts and activists are working on ways to change the perspective these groups have toward the vaccination.

Comment: Yes they are, and with rather manipulative methods as well.

Kerri D. and her 20-year-old daughter Mya Jones said they would not take a COVID-19 vaccine. The multi-racial Chicago residents, who are of Native American and Puerto Rican decent, question the speed of how quickly the vaccine was developed as well as its ingredients.

The vaccine's arrival in record time is a cause for skepticism for some.

"I don't know what's in it. Why risk it?" Kerri D. said.

The deep distrust of any COVID-19 vaccine comes from communities of color that were hit disproportionately hard by COVID-19.

'Not a conspiracy theory': Alberta Premier Kenney issues dire warning about impending 'Great Reset'

RT
Tue, 08 Dec 2020 16:37 UTC

The premier of Canada's oil-rich province Alberta, Jason Kenney, has sounded the alarm over the so-called Great Reset, describing it as a "grab bag of left-wing ideas, for less freedom, and more government."

In a four-minute long explainer video on his social media channels, Kenney says the Great Reset is "not a conspiracy theory, but an actual set of concrete proposals" based on a book of the same name by Klaus Schwab.

Schwab is the president and founder of the World Economic Forum, aka Davos, or as Kenney describes it, the "biggest gathering of global hypocrites in history."

The premier claims Schwab sent a copy to every government leader around the world, detailing his thesis that governments and societies should seize the opportunity of the public health and economic crisis wreaked by the Covid-19 pandemic to reimagine the world and radically change policies.

The Leftist obsession with Twitter alternative Parler reveals their infatuation with thought control

In my recent article 'Power Is An Illusion, Control Is A Facade' I outlined the realities behind power structures and how people dominate other people by conditioning them with false assumptions and misplaced fears. For example, many people make themselves easy to control by remaining dependent on governments during crisis events and emergencies; if you actually believe the government will protect you from any and all eventualities then why would you ever learn to protect and provide for yourself? The infantization of a society makes citizens easy to dominate.

Another example would be instilling a fear of "standing out" among one's peers - Many people are uncomfortable with the idea of being seen as aberrant or in opposition to the "majority" and will seek to fit in, even when they fundamentally disagree. A ruling elite merely need to manufacture the assumption or impression that the "majority" of the population are in agreement with oppressive measures. Even if this is not the case, the perception of a majority can be used to control those people that would otherwise rebel.

Controlling a population is more about thought control or "perception management" than it is about direct force. Power is an illusion, no large group of people can be controlled by force alone; eventually, they will find a way to wear down the totalitarian system and destroy it. So, the people must be tricked into enslaving themselves and each other. The people must police the very prison they are trapped in, otherwise they could simply walk away anytime they wished. It's the only way a tyranny can survive in the long term.

Comment: Speaking of MSNBC, watch Chris Hayes try to completely dismiss valid allegations of election fraud without a shred of actual investigation on his part - in pure 'Orange Man Bad' style. The Queen of Russiagate Rachel Maddow would be proud:

UPDATE: Mea Culpa, this is not news. But an historical reminder of what happens when the people get fed up with a corrupt government incapable of serving their interests.

Rememeber this? The president of Argentina has left the building. According to the Daily Mail 20 years ago :

President Fernando De la Rua resigned and fled the government palace in a helicopter, driven from office by a devastating economic crisis and days of rioting that left 22 people dead and homes and supermarkets across Argentina ransacked.

Fast forward to today:

This is the news: Police faced rioters with stones this week.

Comment: Some of this has, apparently, already begun. The following is video taken outside Hillary Clinton's home in New York only a few weeks ago:

Inflation is back big-time and the dollar's value is sinking

The conventional view of inflation is that it's not only low, but dangerously low and in need of aggressive stimulus.

But that view is increasingly hard to defend, given all the things that are soaring in price. Consider:

SNL's well-paid Pete Davidson chastises devastated restaurant owners for laughs

"Saturday Night Live" cast member and Staten Island native Pete Davidson used his paid position at NBC on Saturday to make fun of his hometown and lecture restaurant owners protesting the latest COVID restrictions threatening their livelihoods.

"The bar, shockingly, is in a neighborhood with the second-highest COVID infections in all of New York, so the rule is that they're supposed to let people eat or drink outside, and the owner said no one wants to do that because they'll go out of business," Davidson said, before delivering several punchlines about his fellow Staten Islanders.

"So I take it you found these protests frustrating?" asked his co-star, Colin Jost.

"Yeah, man, they're making us look like babies," Davidson said, before advocating that everyone stay at home.
