Authorities in the United States say Canadian fashion mogul Peter Nygard has been indicted on nine charges including racketeering and sex trafficking.

A news release from the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York says the charges arise "out of a decades-long pattern of criminal conduct involving at least dozens of victims in the United States, the Bahamas, and Canada, among other locations."

The release was issued on behalf of Audrey Strauss, the acting U.S. attorney for the southern district of New York, William F. Sweeney Jr., with the FBI's New York office and Dermot Shea, commissioner of the New York City police.

Nygard was arrested in Winnipeg on Monday under the Extradition Act and is appearing in court this afternoon.

This has been the plan by the Deep State all along.

Now you understand why there was never any action against the Clintons or Obama, how they destroyed emails and evidence and phones and servers, how they spied and wiretapped, how they lied to FISA, had conversations on the tarmac, sent emails to cover their asses after key meetings, how Comey and Brennan and Clapper never were brought to any justice, how the FBI and CIA lied, how the Steele Dossier was passed along, how phones got factory reset, how leak after leak to an accomplice media went unchecked, why George Soros is always in the shadows, why Romney and Paul and Bush and McCain were all involved, why they screamed Russia and pushed a sham impeachment, why no one ever goes to jail, why no one is ever charged, why nothing ever happens.

Why there was no wrongdoing in the FISA warrants, why the Durham report was delayed, why Hunter will walk scott free, why the FBI sat on the laptop, why the Biden's connection to China was overlooked as it unleashed the perfect weapon, a virus that could be weaponized politically to bring down the greatest ever economy and usher in unverifiable mail in voting, why the media is 24/7 propaganda and lies, why up is down and down is up, right is wrong and wrong is right, why social media silences the First Amendment and speaks over the President of the United States.

This has been the plan by the Deep State all along. They didn't expect Trump to win in 2016. He messed up their plans. Delayed it a little. They weren't about to let it happen again. Covid was weaponized, Governors helped shut down their states, the media helped shame and kill the economy, and the super lucky unverifiable mail in ballots were just the trick to make sure the career politician allegedly with hands in Chinese payrolls that couldn't finish a sentence or collect a crowd, miraculously became the most popular vote recipient of all time.

Folks, you have just witnessed a coup, the overthrow of the US free election system, the end of our constitutional republic, and the merge of capitalism into the slide toward socialism.

In the United States, a candidate becomes president by securing the most "electoral" votes rather than winning a majority of the national popular vote. Known as the Electoral College, the system allots electors to the 50 states and the District of Columbia largely based on their population.

It is theoretically possible for the governor and legislature, each representing a different political party, to submit two different election results, leading to so-called "dueling slates of electors."

Below are details of how that might play out.

What are electors?

The U.S. president is selected by 538 electors, known as the Electoral College, with electors apportioned based on each state's population. The popular vote in each state typically determines which candidate receives a state's electoral votes.

The U.S. Constitution and the 1887 Electoral Count Act govern the counting of electoral votes and any related disputes. The electors will meet on Dec. 14 to cast votes, which are then counted by Congress on Jan. 6 in a process overseen by Vice President Mike Pence in his role as Senate president.

The 2020 election was the most corrupt and compromised election in US history. Old Democrat methods of voting for dead people merged with modern machine machinations. The result was the greatest election win in history being stolen by both US and foreign actors.

Up until 2020, no Presidential candidate had broken 70 million votes in an election. Barack Obama had reached a reported 69 million in 2008 but that was the record, until this year. Then President Trump smashed the record and won an unheard of 74 million votes. This was a record for any candidate and certainly for a sitting President.

A massive protest has been staged in Paris by entertainment sector workers as France emerges from its second coronavirus lockdown. Yet, the authorities have opted not to reopen cultural venues, citing risks of the virus spread.

The protest, organized by entertainment workers' trade unions, took place on Tuesday afternoon in central Paris. Hundreds of protesters gathered in the iconic Place de la Bastille, expressing their anger over the government's decision to postpone reopening of cultural venues till early 2021.

The protesters chanted such slogans as "let's bring culture out of lockdown," demanding the reopening of various cultural venues, as well as supporting artists left without income due to the pandemic. Placards reading "We're going to die and not even on stage," "Culture is essential food" and others were displayed during the event.

An appeal from the Metropolitan Police urging Londoners to turn in people suspected of having potentially dangerous opinions has backfired, after the message was flooded with George Orwell references and satirical 'reports'.

In a tweet, the police force encouraged Britons to tell them their concerns "in confidence" if they become worried about someone they know "developing extremist views."

The message included a link to an counter-terrorism initiative called Act Early, which urges individuals to contact authorities if "someone close is expressing extreme views or hatred, which could lead to them harming themselves or others."

Britain's vaccines minister announced Monday that the government will definitely not mandate the coronavirus shot, and that it has no plans to introduce immunity passports, or place restrictions on those who do not take the jab.

Nadhim Zahawi made the announcement after a petition with more than 324,000 signatures against the so called 'COVID passports' was debated in parliament.

"I think mandating vaccinations is discriminatory and completely wrong... and I would urge businesses listening to this debate today not to even think about this. We have absolutely no plans for vaccine passporting."

The petition states:

"I want the Government to prevent any restrictions being placed on those who refuse to have any potential Covid-19 vaccine. This includes restrictions on travel, social events, such as concerts or sports. No restrictions whatsoever."

Civil liberties groups labeled Zahawi's comments "a welcome return to rationality":

Sheriffs from Georgia have stepped forward to offer their help investigating claims of voter fraud in the state, which has been caught up in several controversies over the outcome of the 2020 presidential election and help President Trump reveal the truth.

In a Facebook post, Oconee County Sheriff Scott Berry revealed that he and other sheriffs are completely ready to offer the support of their offices' investigators to President Donald Trump. His office says it is looking into more than 200 different incidents of voter fraud across the state. Sheriff Berry wrote in a Facebook post:

"I write to offer the assistance of Oconee County Sheriff's Investigators to investigate or follow up on any reported or suspected voter fraud cases not only in Oconee County but Statewide.

"Media reports suggest you have over 250 reported cases of suspected voter fraud and less than 30 investigators. Mr. President, I am offering, at no cost, the services of our crime scene specialists and investigators to augment your own office's own capability to investigate said suspected offenses and report their findings to you.

"I suggest to you that calling upon the Sheriffs of this State to assist you is as easy as asking us. We stand ready to vigorously investigate voter fraud across this State and to ensure everyone's vote counts. Our citizens deserve to have confidence in the election process. Please call on me if there is anything we can do to assist you in resolving these reported allegations."

This man was not alone in speaking out against election fraud. In Butts County, Georgia, Sheriff Gary Long offered his detectives at no cost also to investigate "any complaints or suspicious happenings in our elections."

Voting machines used in Arizona's Maricopa County may now be subject to inspection following action by a state legislator on Monday to begin the process of seizing the machines.

The action by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Eddie Farnsworth came after a six-hour hearing concerning the election and the ability of Arizona residents to trust the results, according to KJZZ-FM. Republican state Rep. Mark Finchem praised the action in a news release.

"Since shortly before the 2020 election a number of my colleagues and I have been examining potential fraud pathways and illegal actions through which our 2020 election could become tainted. I compliment Chairman Eddie Farnsworth, Senator Sonny Borrelli (Senate Whip), Senator Rick Gray (Majority Leader), Senator Michelle Ugenti-Rita, and Senator Vince Leach. Each asked thoughtful, insightful questions that left no room for any conclusion that a forensic audit is about the only move that will restore constituent confidence in our elections integrity.

"The outcome of this hearing was a call by Chairman Eddie Farnsworth to issue subpoena's to seize the machines. A forensic audit is the likely next step. This is a huge development, and moves Arizona in the right direction to account for the many irregularities."

Farnsworth, a Republican, said that the issue is less about changing the results of the election than getting to the bottom of concerns regarding Dominion Voting Systems machines.

Farnsworth said his goal was to "try and see if we can reinsert some confidence in our election process. We hold and audit and we see what the outcome is," he said. "And then we can put this to rest." Subpoenas to seize the machines could be issued as soon as Tuesday, according to Farnsworth.
