Black Lives Matter has a political agenda and its leaders now demand that as payback for supporting the potential Biden-Harris Administration throughout the election, Democrats use the White House to do the Marxist organization's bidding.

BLM Co-founder Patrisse Cullors sent a letter to former vice president Joe Biden and his Vice Presidential Nominee Kamala Harris congratulating them on winning the presidential election and demanding a meeting to discuss BLM's "expectations" for their administration.

"A well-thought-out, community-driven, fully resourced agenda that addresses the particular challenges faced by Black people must be the priority," she wrote.

According to Cullors, a Democratic victory would not have happened "without the resounding support of Black people."

Wednesday on Fox News Channel's "Tucker Carlson Tonight," host Tucker Carlson showed numerous instances of deceased Americans that apparently had their identities used to participate in last week's presidential election in Georgia.

In doing so, Carlson showed the election was not without some instances of fraud despite what left-leaning media outlets and figures had said.

Comment: This is just the tip of the iceberg as far as voter fraud goes in this election.

Conservative politicians from President Trump to Senate members have railed against social media companies for their brazen censorship and de-platforming of conservative social media users. In recent weeks, Republicans on the Senate Commerce Committee grilled Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg, Google's Sundar Pichai, and Twitter's Jack Dorsey over their content-moderation practices.

Lately, Republican social media users, who have been censored or de-platformed, have embarked on a great migration to a new platform, that is, Parler, bills itself as a Twitter rival with "an unbiased social media focused on real user experiences and engagement."

According to radio host Dan Bongino, who has an "ownership stake" in Parler - the platform has "exploded" with new users:
"We're adding thousands of users per minute, and we're working out the glitches as a result."

Comment: If you dam information from one source, it will find its way to another. Jack seems to have overstepped his bounds and is paying the price.

Pope Francis vows to end sexual abuse after McCarrick report

In this Sept. 23, 2015 file photo, Pope Francis reaches out to hug Cardinal Archbishop emeritus Theodore McCarrick after the Midday Prayer of the Divine with more than 300 U.S. bishops, at the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle in Washington. On Tuesday, Nov. 10, 2020, the Vatican is taking the extraordinary step of publishing its two-year investigation into the disgraced ex-Cardinal McCarrick, who was defrocked in 2019 after the Vatican determined that years of rumors that he was a sexual predator were true.
Pope Francis pledged Wednesday to rid the Catholic Church of sexual abuse and offered prayers to victims of former Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, a day after the Vatican released a detailed report into the decadeslong church cover-up of his sexual misconduct.

The Vatican report blamed a host of bishops, cardinals and popes for downplaying and dismissing mountains of evidence of McCarrick's misconduct starting in the 1990s — but largely spared Francis. Instead, it laid the lion's share of the blame on St. John Paul II, a former pope, for having appointed McCarrick archbishop of Washington in 2000, and making him a cardinal, despite having commissioned an inquiry that found he had slept with seminarians.

Francis concluded his weekly general audience Wednesday by recalling that the report into the "painful case" of the former high-ranking American cardinal had been released the previous day.

"Tip of the iceberg": UK's foodbank demand soars 47% during lockdown - world's 5th wealthiest economy

The trust revealed that during the fist six months of the pandemic it distributed 1.2m food parcels, of which 470,000 went to families with children.
The head of the UK's biggest food bank network has vowed to put them "out of business" and reverse a trend in which "sticking plaster" food charity handouts are increasingly normalised as a response to growing poverty and destitution.

The comments by Emma Revie, chief executive of the Trussell Trust, came as the charity reported a 47% rise in food parcels given out by its volunteers between April and September - reflecting an explosion in demand for food aid during the pandemic, including from "newly hungry" families who had fallen into hardship.

"We have to find better ways of supporting one another as a society than leaving people to rely on food charity," said Revie in an interview with the Guardian. "It's not just about ending food banks, it's about finding an alternative to the need for mass distribution of charity food in the fifth wealthiest country in the world."

Ticketmaster exploring negative COVID-19 test or vaccination to attend concerts

Wallet? Check. Water? Check. COVID-19 test?

The pre-concert checklist for music fans is about to get more complicated, as Ticketmaster is planning to check the coronavirus vaccination status of concert-goers prior to shows once a treatment is approved, Billboard reported Wednesday.

The ticketing giant plans to have customers use their cellphones to verify their inoculation or whether they've tested negative for the virus within a 24- to 72-hour window, according to the exclusive report.

Comment: This is what people have been warning about since the beginning of the Covid kerfuffle. It's not a hard mandatory vaccination, as such, but if you want to be able to travel, work or do anything fun, a vaccine will be required. It's coercion that makes resistance all but impossible. Welcome to the technocracy.

'Civil Resistance' group enlists GOP, corporate leaders to defend Biden victory claim

An organization preparing "civil resistance" to oppose President Trump's legal election challenges told supporters to "amplify" GOP and corporate voices that have already acquiesced to a Joe Biden win, as part of a strategy to establish Biden's claim of election victory as a fait accompli.

The group, which calls itself "Hold The Line," is organized around a document for planned "Civil resistance" in the event President Trump should refuse to vacate office. Its lead author, Hardy Merriman, is the president of the International Center on Nonviolent Conflict (ICNC), and specializes in training activists to oust governments abroad, having done so most notably in the Arab Spring protests that brought the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood to power in Egypt.

The group claims to have trained between 4,000-5,000 activists in the United States in preparation for the current election. In a conference call with supporters held Sunday night, Hold the Line organizers discussed tactics and messaging for "30 days of vigilance" with "civil resistance experts" Erica Chenowith and Maria J. Stephan, co-authors of "Why Civil Resistance Works: The Strategic Logic of Nonviolent Conflict" and whose names appear in Hold the Line's documents.

Comment: As stated, this has color revolution written allover it.

Life starts from here: The Great Reject

Let's do a reality check: many of us wake up in the morning with our default memory sleepily reverted back to a pre-covid state of seeming 'normality'. But after splashing our face with cold water, taking the dog for a walk and having some breakfast, it dawns on us that we are being strung-along by the hands of a puppet master, whose tweaking of the strings of power is making us dance to a tune which is 100% alien to our natural evolutionary inclinations.

That puppet master is actually not one person, but a number of people; although calling them 'people' might already be an error, since they operate in the shadows of a life less than human and impose their will based on a narcissistic ambition to 'own' everything - and of course, to control it too.

So you turn on your radio/television, open a newspaper/computer and you get something called 'The News'. And what is it you are actually getting? Is it really The News?

Your slow mind, which prefers to remain in a convenience/comfort mode, leads you to believe you are actually receiving The News - well doesn't it?

But once you get that mind sharpened-up a little, straighten your back, and let some sense of the true reality start to manifest, you recognize that it is not the news at all - but simply 'the spin of the day'. The Daily Spin.

5G fund for rural America hands over US farms to Big Tech

FCC's new fund includes money for precision agriculture that opponents say is more about commodification and control of information than better farming.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) last week established the 5G Fund for Rural America. The fund will hand over billions of dollars worth of taxpayer money to the world's largest telecom providers. In exchange, the telecom giants will build 5G infrastructure in rural regions of the U.S. — including the infrastructure needed for 5G or wireless farming, also known as "precision agriculture."

Precision agriculture involves the use of sensors in fields to measure moisture and temperature levels, satellites and drones that provide remote real-time images of crops, and even wireless sensors attached to cattle that monitor their health and track their location.

Proponents of precision agriculture see it as a path towards increased profitability, sustainability and the ability for farmers to determine the exact optimal amount of water, fertilizers or pesticides.

But critics say it's simply a "marriage between agribusiness and spy technology."

Comment: This news does not bode well for either food production or the health of anyone in rural America who is subject to this new tool of the technocracy. See also:
