Fraud analyst finds average of 2 to 3 percent shift for Biden in counties that used Dominion

A Clark County election worker checks a voting machine among others that are boxed up at the Clark County Election Department in Las Vegas, Nev., on Nov. 6.
A man who's made a living developing fraud detection algorithms has discovered a curious phenomenon: Counties that started using Dominion Voting Systems machines have on average moved by 2 to 3 points to the Democrat presidential candidate from the Republican compared to counties that didn't adopt the machines.

The difference persisted even after he controlled for a number of factors, including county population and various demographic characteristics.

"I recommend we audit the machines," he concluded.

The man is Ben Turner, who used to be the chief actuary at Texas Mutual Workers' Compensation Insurance. He now runs Fraud Spotters, a consultancy specializing in detecting insurance fraud.

The Epoch Times replicated his initial analysis using the same data he used and arrived at the same results.

Turner told The Epoch Times that he's not making any specific allegation against Dominion; he's simply reporting what he found.

Dominion didn't immediately respond to a request by The Epoch Times for comment. The company has for years been criticized over alleged vulnerabilities in its system. It has previously denied that its machines can be used to switch votes from one candidate to another.

Turner reached his conclusion despite being initially incredulous about claims that the Dominion machines affected the election outcome.

Comment: Dominion's CEO testified yesterday to the Michigan state legislature, and lied his face off.



Carone responded:


She gave Patrick Colbeck permission to release the hour-long recording of her training session with Dominion, which directly contradicts Poulos's testimony.


Key Takeaways:
  • Tech support provided instructions on connecting equipment to internet
  • Vote tally reporting methods varied based upon municipality equipment profile
  • Detroit equipment featured 684 modems, "Listener Module" which features a dedicated server with encrypted TCP/IP protocol (internet connectivity). Both tabulators and "Results Transfer Manager" communicate with the ImageCast Listener Server
  • "Warehouse" with election equipment referenced multiple times was staffed with Texas-based personnel (other employees referred to it as the "Chicago Warehouse"...in Detroit)
  • "Rovers" would provide hardware swaps (ICP) but were encouraged to do so discretely so as to avoid any "bad perception"



He also wrote a WSJ article debunking "fake claims" about Dominion. He lied there too.

MI State Police blocked GOP electors from getting inside the capitol building where electors were meeting to vote on December 14, 2020
Michigan Republican electors were blocked from entering the state capitol by state police and prevented from casting alternative ballots for president.

State Rep. Daire Rendon (R) told Breitbart News she attempted to escort the Republican electors into the building, but they were prevented entry by a State Police trooper, who is at the direction of the governor.

Comment: And yet Mid-Michigan NOW reports:
Mid-Michigan NOW reporter Rachel Louise Just has learned that the Michigan State Police did not recommend the closure of legislative offices ahead of the Electoral College meeting and they were not aware of "any credible threats of violence related to Michigan," a contrast to what we've heard from lawmakers.

'Stop lockdown!': Thousands protest in Kiev, 40 police officers suffer chemical burns during clashes

A large rally against coronavirus restrictions, organized by Ukrainian entrepreneurs and small businessmen in the country's capital Kiev, grew out of control on Tuesday, with clashes erupting between police and protesters.

The action, named 'Stop lockdown!' by its organizers, started outside the country's parliament building and drew thousands of attendees. The crowd briefly chanted slogans outside the office of President Volodymyr Zelensky, before moving to Kiev's traditional protest spot, the Maidan, or Independence Square.

According to local media, clashes began at the Maidan after police tried to prevent the demonstrators from erecting tents on the square.

Comment: In what appears to be a suspiciously coordinated move, numerous countries throughout Europe have recently introduced much harsher lockdown restrictions: Except for Switzerland: Switzerland defies EU pressure to lockdown, ski resorts stay open much to the chagrin of neighbors

City of spies? Moscow's City Hall creates app for snitching on lockdown rule-breakers

Passengers wearing protective face masks ride an escalator at the Moscow Underground, in Moscow, Russia.
Citizens, stay vigilant! Moscow residents will soon be asked to do their duty by reporting scruffy subway stations, poorly parked bicycles and coronavirus-defying crowds through a new super-snooping mobile app.

The capital's City Hall announced on Wednesday that it will splash more than 75 million roubles ($1 million) on the new downloadable software, named 'Moscow Assistant'. It will enable users to upload pictures of civic misdeeds, like dodgy car parking, and beam them straight to the authorities for a speedy resolution. It will also be an outlet for Muscovites with an axe to grind about the state of public infrastructure, allowing them to report broken bicycle parking and problems with transport services.


Comment: Note how they've combined the act of snitching on fellow citizens with appeals for improving public services and infrastructure. One can guess which issues will get the most attention from the authorities...


The new project will also play a role in the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic, offering the ability to report crowds and public gatherings, many of which are currently prohibited under emergency laws. According to the Kommersant newspaper, authorities will be able to "patrol parks and squares, transmitting signals to the City Hall about crowd sizes. A Dark Red command will mean that there are too many people in the park, and it needs to be closed, while a Green code will signal the opening of the path."

Comment: One would hope that Russians will be more wary of this slide towards totalitarianism than most other nations:

The Holy Jab is upon us

Forced Injection

The Holy Jab is upon us.

More precisely, it is about to be forced upon us. Not by law, probably - that being both harder to do and easier to challenge. Rather, by economic means, via the "private" sector - which has become almost-indistinguishable from the "public" sector, i.e., the government.

Which isn't accidental.

The whole point of requiring that businesses obtain permission from the government to be in business - i.e., the business license - effectively makes them part of the government without the difficulty (for the government) of legalities. The Gesundheitsfuhrers have not had to bother about passing laws requiring everyone in America join a messianic religious movement - the Sickness Cult - and wear the Holy Vestment. The government merely threatens businesses with the loss of their permission to be in business if they do business with heretics.

This is how the Holy Jab will be administered.

You won't have to take it. Technically. You just won't be allowed to live if you don't.

They won't actually kill you, probably. But they will kill your life. Your ability to earn a livelihood, for instance - which will become conditional upon receiving the Holy Jab and - if you are a business owner - that you do business only with those who have received the Jab.

LGBT activist calls for ALL children to be put on puberty blockers

Ludicrously argues that natural puberty is wrong because kids can't consent.

An LGBT activist has called for ALL children to be put on puberty blockers until a decision is made as to what gender they are going to be.

Yes, really.

Zachary Antolak began as a gay man but now identifies as a lesbian woman named Zinnia Jones and is in a polyamorous relationship with another lesbian named Heather and a 'trans woman' named Penny.

What better example of obvious mental stability to decide which chemicals to bombard your children with?

"If children can't consent to puberty blockers which pause any permanent changes even with the relevant professional evaluation, how can they consent to the permanent and irreversible changes that come with their own puberty with no professional evaluation whatsoever?" tweeted Jones.

Comment: Its not enough that the ideologically possessed who are afflicted with gender and sexuality dysphoria are consumed with their own issues - every one else must feel and behave in the same way. And what's worse, many now want their reality legislated into existence. But what's even worse than that is how the technocrats and mainstream media are facilitating all this at an institutional level.

Hungary amends constitution to redefine family, limits gay adoption

Same sex couple Adam Hanol and Marton Pal play with their four year old adopted son Andras at a playground in Budapest, Hungary, November 19, 2020.
Hungary amended the definition of family in its constitution Tuesday to allow an effective ban on adoption by same-sex couples, another win for the ruling conservatives but decried by one pro-LGBTQ group as "a dark day for human rights".

The nationalist Fidesz party of Prime Minister Viktor Orban has worked to recast Hungary in a more conservative mold since winning a third successive landslide in 2018, and anti-gay verbal attacks and legislation have become common.

In recent years Orban, facing a unified opposition for the first time, has doubled down on propagating his increasingly conservative ideology, deploying strong language against immigrants and Muslims who he says could upend European culture.

Denmark to rank immigrants from Muslim countries separately in crime statistics

According to Immigration and Integration Minister Mattias Tesfaye, ranking people by region is beneficial in understanding patterns of crime and employment among people in Denmark who have a foreign background.

The Danish government is going to introduce a separate category in its official statistics for crime, employment and other matters for people from predominantly Muslim countries in a bid to solve some of the problems arising from immigration.

For the purpose of statistics, Muslim immigrants and their children will be separated into the so-called MENAPT group, which stands for Middle East, North Africa, Pakistan and Turkey.

A poster of Samuel Paty in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine, France, on November 3, 2020.
A student was expelled from a school in France after defending in class the gruesome murder of teacher Samuel Paty by an Islamic extremist, a report says. Paty was beheaded in October for showing a cartoon of Prophet Mohammed.

According to France Bleu radio, the student initially made the comments on November 2, more than two weeks after Paty was killed.

The students had just come back from holidays to one of the schools in the town of Saint-Jean-de-Luz in southwestern France, near the Spanish border. After observing a moment of silence, a discussion was held in class. One of the teenagers shocked everyone by saying that Paty's brutal murder was "deserved."

The Covid-19 data is a 'travesty'

covid statistics
Although people have tragically died from Covid-19, the way the Covid-19 death data is recorded in many countries around the world has produced, and continues to produce, an inflated death toll. This inflated death toll has then been, and continues to be, used by fascist-style bureaucracies, in conjunction with scientific priesthoods, to terrify the general public into obedience.

One of the most basic laws of statistics is that correlation does not equal causation. Although this may sound complicated, it's not. It simply means that just because there is a correlation between two variables, or to put this another way, a close relationship between two things in the world, this does not mean that one thing is causing the other thing to happen.

A third factor may be causing the correlation that is observed for instance. As an example, there is usually a correlation in many countries between cold weather and people buying more goods in shops, or online, but this increase in buying is not caused by cold weather. Instead, it is caused by the Christmas period, when people spend more money, and it just happens to be the case that the weather is usually cold in December in many parts of the world that celebrate Christmas. So, even though there is a correlation between cold weather and increased buying patterns, cold weather does not cause increased buying patterns, but the Christmas period causes people to buy more goods.
