“Heather” explains how to vote for someone based on your thinking that the candidate won’t/can’t win. Brilliant.

Three years ago, thousands of these Americans — many working-class, residing in the middle of the country — helped deliver the most astounding electoral surprise in modern history. Now, as they review the Trump presidency a year before his re-election, some are showing signs of turning on conventional wisdom again.

Heather, a local administrative assistant here who is married with a stroller-bound toddler, is still so embarrassed by her 2016 vote that she wasn’t comfortable revealing her last name.

“I’m ashamed to admit . . . But I’m of a more conservative bent and family. I just couldn’t vote for Hillary. But I also thought there’s no way Trump was going to win. This way, I could at least say, ‘Well I didn’t vote for her,’” she said. “I didn’t think I was doing any harm.”

While Heather isn’t sharing her conversion far and wide, she’s already decided “there’s no chance” she’d vote for Trump again. “Heavens no,” she said. “Trump basically turned me into a Democrat.”

The 2020 presidential campaign has been engrossed in a debate over which demographic groups Democrats should devote most of their attention to in order to reclaim the White House. African-Americans in urban areas? Rural voters who flipped from Barack Obama to Trump? Newly emerging but unreliable young people?

But the one pivotal group showing the most evident signs of splitting from the president are white working-class women, according to a review of polling data, focus groups and interviews with more than a dozen party strategists and voters like Heather.

There was the deal of 19: get the vote in exchange for learning to use it. Someone hasn’t kept her end of the bargain. Maybe the stellar GOP strategists will notice this trend too – maybe around 2024.

I love Boston. I really do. The Union Oyster House. Sam Adams. Looking a Red Sox fan in the face and saying, “It’s just a game.” Hitting I-93 North as hard and fast as possible. There’s all that history.

Yet, sometimes I pause to wonder about the future. Now is one of those times. Boston City Council President Andrea Campbell proposes giving non-citizens the right to vote in City elections:

Non-U.S. citizens living in the country legally may one day be allowed to vote in Boston elections.

The City Council is holding a hearing Tuesday on the idea at the request of Council President Andrea Campbell. The council is considering ways to make city elections more inclusive, including allowing immigrants with legal status in the country the right to vote in municipal races.

I’m a little upset about this “legal status” requirement, honestly. And why do they have to live in the country? Are not all 7 Billion people on the planet Americans? Bostonians? It’s not very inclusive to deny them their voices. I’m sure there’s a real new American, in Haiti or Uruguay or somewhere, just itching to write in Vladamir Putin or Theresa May as a replacement for Andrea Campbell. Is this not just?

Keep an eye on this. And look for it to spread regardless of how they handle it in Bean Town.

Draw! ‘Lifelike’ Robot Terrorizes Pub Yobs…

It’s just a “malfunction” and IT is just smashing the pint glasses … for now:

A ‘malfunctioning’ robot named Fred has terrified drinkers in a London pub by smashing a pint glass while talking about a ‘robot invasion’.

The hyper-realistic automaton, modeled to be an exact replica of London-based actor Tedroy Newell, sat down for a refreshing lager at The Prince Alfred pub in Maida Vale, in the west of the capital.

Unsuspecting customers were unprepared for what came next, with the humanoid berating locals before crushing the drinking vessel in his hands.

The robot, described as ‘indistinguishable from humans’, was created as part of a stunt to promote TV Series Westworld.

Ah, yes. Westworld. Yul Brynner’s little “malfunction.” Nice. Artificial life imitates art. No word if “Fred” has a swashbuckling friend.

Westworld (1973) Blu-ray Screenshot

Draw. Westworld.

But fear not! Besides the warnings of this “highly respected web log,” other resistance forms, of a kind most effective:

What resistance may look like: In the Industrial Age, [Carl] Frey said, people rioted against automation. This time will be different, he said. “Now people have political rights and can vote against automation,” he said.

Exactly. Voting has worked ever so well these past, what, 6,000 years??? The robot monsters, including the rigged Diebold ballots, will certainly honor your wishes. Just ask “Fred” when he calms down.

This may not end well.

On The Money

Banker criminals (banksters) own and run the United States. They have almost complete control of the government. Any illusion of democracy and independent control by or for the people is just that, illusory.

Thanks to Vox Day and The New Republic for pointing this out: perhaps the biggest and most alarming bombshell in the Wikileaks Hillary file isn’t even about Hillary. It’s about how the banksters, Citibank in this case, control Washington from New York. Citi literally handed down a set of lists for nominees for cabinet officer and other high-level administrative positions.

The lists went to Podesta. Remember, this weekend I leave out all negative comments about Pres. Obama himself, he of the Cuban cigars, God bless him. This isn’t about him anyway, it’s about the owners of the nation and their rule over all things political. And those lists turned into the real cabinet – dead on the money:

The cabinet list ended up being almost entirely on the money. It correctly identified Eric Holder for the Justice Department, Janet Napolitano for Homeland Security, Robert Gates for Defense, Rahm Emanuel for chief of staff, Peter Orszag for the Office of Management and Budget, Arne Duncan for Education, Eric Shinseki for Veterans Affairs, Kathleen Sebelius for Health and Human Services, Melody Barnes for the Domestic Policy Council, and more. For the Treasury, three possibilities were on the list: Robert Rubin, Larry Summers, and Timothy Geithner.

This was October 6. The election was November 4. And yet Froman, an executive at Citigroup, which would ultimately become the recipient of the largest bailout from the federal government during the financial crisis, had mapped out virtually the entire Obama cabinet, a month before votes were counted. And according to the Froman/Podesta emails, lists were floating around even before that.

Congress and the President are extremely powerful. But the admin agencies run the government, day-to-day. Their regulations, their interpretations thereof and enforcement (or not) are what constitutes real federal law and power. And the banksters had these pre-picked before the 2008 election. These financial criminals appointed “your” government before you even voted. I say again, your vote means nothing. Literally. And something tells me they had another list in case the President had been a Republican.

Your walking into a voting booth isn’t how it works. This is:

nimbus-image-1476574804197

Email from banking criminal Mike Froman to political criminal John Podesta, Oct. 6, 2008.

You’ll note the lists are arranged in a manner to appease ardent Democratic diversity-mongers: women, blacks, Hispanics, Muslims, Jews, etc. Rest assured each and every name on the list was vetted to comply with the demands of the financial elite.

The banks were well compensated for this service, for putting together “your” government. Citi received nearly $500 Billion from Uncle Sam during the financial crisis bailouts – the most of any bank. And the Fed printed up and loaned fake money – effectively for free – to Citi and other banks (and not just American banks) to the tune of $15-20 Trillion.

In other words, they robbed you of your vote and your government. They robbed you of your currency and they robbed your children’s futures. That money may be fake but someday they will expect someone to pay it back – ain’t gonna be the banksters.

Please believe these people have a similar plan for this fall. I imagine the lists are already under consideration. There’s growing financial unrest again so it follows the printing presses are being revved up too.

How? Why? It’s because, as George Carlin put it, because they own this place; they own you. They’re going to get it all.

Valentin de Boulogne.

These are same thieves, the same clique of money changing Satanists that Jesus drove out of the Temple with a whip. “My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.” Jesus, Matt. 21:13 (JKV). When was the last time your Priest or preacher mentioned that? When’s the last time they put it in a modern context. As Christ drove them from the Temple of the Lord, so we should drive them from America into the sea.

Mapping The Real Vote

I tinkered with the Electoral map over at Real Clear Politics to reflect a Trump-slide.

Trump, full landslide:

nimbus-image-1474884450704

Trump, worst to middle case landslide:

nimbus-image-1474886115866

Either way, it’s not even going to be close. In both of these maps: blue areas represent states where people will be disappointed in November; red represents areas where people will be disappointed 2017 – 202(?).

Here’s a Hillary map:

club_map

She takes everything but the “Solid South” Quadling Country. The Impassible Desert is a toss-up.

Again, except for Oz, these are Electoral College maps. Your vote means nothing. The system under the old Constitution, as amended, considers you untrustworthy. Considering that you boiled it down to Hillary and Donald there may be credence to that theory. At any rate the Black Mass is practically decided now, the outcome (either way) certainly is.

Enjoy the “debate” tonight but remember your Mencken: “Under democracy one party always devotes its chief energies to trying to prove that the other party is unfit to rule—and both commonly succeed, and are right.”

In Government We Trust: The Shadow Lengthens

Just yesterday morning I followed up on the bumbling attempts by Washington to explain electoral system security breaches. I pondered whether the FBI actually found said breaches as part of an investigation or if they had created them as part of some false flag scheme for control. Today, we may have part of an answer.

I woke up (late) to this headline at Drudge:

nimbus-image-1472645099779

Hussein Obama elaborates on his golf handicap at NASA; Jeh Johnson looks on.

Drudge likes a little shock value. It should read: DHS to take charge of election security. That’s what they’re planning to do.

Even before the FBI identified new cyber attacks on two separate state election boards, the Department of Homeland Security began considering declaring the election a “critical infrastructure,” giving it the same control over security it has over Wall Street and and the electric power grid.

The latest admissions of attacks could speed up that effort possibly including the upcoming presidential election, according to officials.

“We should carefully consider whether our election system, our election process, is critical infrastructure like the financial sector, like the power grid,” Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said.

…

Johnson also said that the big issue at hand is that there isn’t a central election system since the states run elections. “There’s no one federal election system. There are some 9,000 jurisdictions involved in the election process,” Johnson said.

Or, there were 9,000. Decentralization of power is a long-standing paper theme in America. I say “paper” because though we cut ties to centralized authority (King George III) in 1776, we reinstituted them in 1787 with the federal Constitution. Still, with something like elections, it’s probably preferable to have 9,000 separate authorities rather than just one. That makes corruption 9,000 times harder. Or, it did.

A related topic was raised in a U.S. News article today:

“There’s nothing in the Constitution which requires a popular election for the electors serving in the Electoral College,” says John Nagle, a law professor at the University of Notre Dame, meaning the body that officially elects presidents could convene without the general public voting.

“It’s up to each state legislature to decide how they want to choose the state’s electors,” Nagle says. “It may be a situation in which the fact that we have an Electoral College, rather than direct voting for presidential candidates, may prove to be helpful.”

Both major parties do have rules for presidential ticket replacements, however, and Congress has the power to change the election date under Article II of the Constitution, which allows federal lawmakers to set dates for the selection of presidential electors and when those electors will vote.

But Congress would be up against a de facto December deadline, as the Constitution’s 20th Amendment requires that congressional terms expire Jan. 3 and presidential terms on Jan. 20. Though it’s conceivable to split legislative and presidential elections, they generally happen at the same time. And if the entire general election were to be moved after Jan. 3, Congress effectively would have voted themselves out of office.

While I would be happy as a clam if Congress voted itself out of office I suspect many others would not. “There’s nothing in the Constitution which requires a popular election…” – that doesn’t jive with all that “democracy” and “you’re vote counts” business so popular today. But, it’s true.

Your vote, your participation in the election is not needed. It is only an illusion. At best it provides the real state electoral system with suggestions. If someone wanted to tamper with your suggestion box, it would be better for them (worse for you) to do so from a singular point (as opposed to 9,000 little points all over the place). Thus, my suspicion of DHS’s power grab.

Oddly, DHS isn’t necessary either nor is it found in the Constitution. With the brief and partial interruption in the scheme from 1861-1865, the federal system operated without DHS from 1787 until 2002 (2003 really). It was a gift of the wooden, horse-like, Greek variety from our dear friend Jorge the Dimmer. (Miss him yet?) It was instituted after another false flag event. (Thanks for that recent admission, Rudy!)

I’m really close to 700 posts on this site and at least about 600 of them deal with the evil nature of government. You simply cannot underestimate the state’s capacity to do harm. Yesterday I mockingly rattled off but a few of the known recent depredations from D.C. Here’s a new one:

Those hard-working, just like us, only trying to better their lives while hiding “in the shadows” illegal aliens have stolen 1,000,000 of our social security numbers. What’s more, the IRS has known about this for about FIVE YEARS and has done nothing! They haven’t even notified the victims. A can of worms this is.

Social Security isn’t in the Constitution either, apart from just being another tax. The IRS is happy to collect taxes from any source it can. If illegals pay in, great. They care nothing about you and your identity theft claims.

As for the illegals, some say there is no such thing as an “illegal person”. This is where I part ways with the open borders libertarians. Is there now no such thing as an illegal identity thief?

We are not the world, nor are we children.

Even if the IRS cared (they don’t), they would have a very hard time sorting all this out. Likely they have no idea how to solve this problem. Their position is partly defensible mathematically: in just a few short score of years both the illegals and the identity victims, every last one, will be dead – thus, no problem in the long run to worry about.

Back to DHS, they have a short but growing history of doing a whole lot of nothing. Nothing except for taking control – of anything they can. That helps boost their budget numbers. A few of you may recall how DHS took control of the West Virginia situation in the novel Republic and the ensuing hilarity.

By the way, and on a concluding note, pursuant to the deficiencies discovered in Republic those you in WV might want to go ahead and stock up on AAA and SAMs.

Scheming the Impossible: FBI Finds(??) Voting Security Breaches

This is interesting, especially for anyone still interested in conventional politics. Really especially interesting for someone planning to participate in the Great Quadrennial Black Mass this November. It even has my attention though for academic and juridical reasons.

The FBI says it has detected security breaches in computerized voting systems in Arizona and Illinois.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The Federal Bureau of Investigation has found breaches in Illinois and Arizona’s voter registration databases and is urging states to increase computer security ahead of the Nov. 8 presidential election, according to a U.S. official familiar with the probe.

The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said on Monday that investigators were also seeking evidence of whether other states may have been targeted.

The FBI warning in an Aug. 18 flash alert from the agency’s Cyber Division did not identify the intruders or the two states targeted.

Reuters obtained a copy of the document after Yahoo News first reported the story Monday.

Accessing information in a voter database, much of which is publicly accessible, does not necessarily suggest an effort to manipulate the votes themselves. When registering, voters typically provide their names, home addresses, driver’s license or identification numbers, and party affiliations.

But U.S. intelligence officials have become increasingly worried that hackers sponsored by Russia or other countries may attempt to disrupt the presidential election.

…

Of course, blame Russia. Always Russia. It is entirely possible the hacks came from or through Russia but that does not mean Vladimir Putin or anyone else in the government had anything to do with them. Putin has enough to do trying to maintain the last vestiges of traditional life in his country against the onslaught of neo-Jacobin globalists. I sincerely doubt he cares which way the final elections of the former United States go.

To blame Russia seems self-serving for the corrupt power-mongers of Washington. Many in their ranks still see an opportunity to drag the Bear down with the rest of civilization. Others, sensing Slavic resistance to domination, want an outright war with Russia. Those are crazy enough to risk electoral security in an attempt to frame Putin. Your vote is a small price to pay.

And, remember, your vote really, truly means nothing. It is at beast a steering suggestion for the real electoral process. In an alternative universe every single voter will write in Gary Johnson only to see one of the major party shills elected.

This issue isn’t new. The FBI notes that there are existing cases of tampering with various state systems. Homeland Security sees it as a problem. However, the golfer in chief has flippantly brushed it all off as he does most problems.

brerfoxbear

Who you gonna trust here? Walt Disney.

That a government agency is ringing the bell here seems itself troubling to me. The government is already: a leading cause of terrorism in the world;  the largest drug dealer in the world; one of the largest illegal weapons suppliers in the Western Hemisphere, and; one of the largest traffickers of internet pornography in the U.S. Why, then,wouldn’t they also be the largest threat to their own crooked elections?

And that’s all there is to it. Br’er Fox is concerned about Br’er Wolf’s possible meddling in the scheme which, either way, will result in the election of Br’er Bear. None of these parties are trustworthy.

Yet and still, the people are a dizzy, preparing their sacrifices for Black Tuesday. I wish them well. When and if something does go wrong, they can always blame the Russians.

Those of you 100 or 1,000 years hence, please take note of this corruption. Please do not repeat the mistakes of the past. Assuming you are reading this, at least we didn’t go through with a war with Russia. Hope remains?

Voter Fraud and Other Urgent Matters

What would Holden Caulfield say about modern America? “Phony” until he was hoarse, of course. True. Even our frauds are phony. Or, perhaps, our phonies, frauds.

fraud-alert

Activistpost.com.

The Vote

Donald Trump and his supporters have recently raised the specter of a rigged election, of voter fraud coast to coast. Jimmy Carter and others have been concerned about this issue for years. The White House, also busy laundering money for Iran, mockingly wrote off the concerns while the Department of Homeland Security seems a little more interested. Congruence, that. Homeland is taking a look at the risk of hackers swinging the general election; their cyber-alarm is in tandem with a belief that Russia was behind the DNC email affair. By the way: it wasn’t the Russians.

Newsflash: voting in American is a fraud in and of itself. One political party masquerading as two offering up the same crap every cycle. The party has a legal monopoly on election law in many (most) places so as to keep out honest competition. Voters must play by the party’s narrow rules while the party can and does bend its own rules in order to perpetuate the monopoly. None of the candidates are fit for the jobs they seek nor do they care at all about the people (or the law). And, nothing ever changes regardless of who gets elected. Fraud.

Terrorism

The government and the party do everything they can to create terrorism, resentment and hatred worldwide. Some of their lab monster creations actually come to life. ISIS is no longer an imaginary hobgoblin. Still, the CIA and the other alphabet agencies can’t even keep track of what their babies are doing and where they are. The National Counterterrorism Center just released a map of ISIS hotspots.

The map is part of a classified briefing document received by the White House dated “August 2016” and prepared by the National Counterterrorism Center. It shows a stunning three-fold increase in the number of places around the globe where ISIS is operating.

U.S. State Department documents indicated that in 2014, when the U.S. military began its campaign to destroy the extremists, there were only seven nations in which the fledgling state was operating.

160802-whitehouse-monthly_report-isil-mbe-610p_d117e8af1191fbf20c3b4a724ab8a3fc.nbcnews-ux-600-480

       “Phony” Map: U.S. government.

Only in seven countries before we started to destroy them. Now they’re fully operational in 18 countries! In D.C. “destroy” must mean proliferate. But wait! Doesn’t that map look a little lite? What about the attacks in Orlando, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Texas, and California, among others? No ISIS is the U.S.? Why is Europe blank? ISIS just fire-bombed a bus in Paris. (I vowed not to talk terror unless it was really big – this is a report on terror reporting, or the lack thereof). Fraud!

Terror-Prone Police

A metro D.C. police officer was just arraigned on charges he joined or supported ISIS. Not only did this not make the NCC map, it raises startling questions about those who are supposed to enforce the law, not break it. USA Today reports there is an increasing concern about jihadis on the police force.

Many already think the police act enough like terrorists as is. Many of them have a point. What does this outright conjunction of law enforcement with the caliphate mean for the last shreds of justice in the U.S.?

How will “law and order” yokels handle this development. The yokels always want to “nuke them taarists” while at the same time holding a police officer up in a saintly light. What about when the two are the same? Mass confusion? I call it another fraud.

These are just three out of about 10,000 frauds actively running around the nation right now. To be on the safe side one might want to treat anything coming out of Washington as a fraud. What a bunch of phonies.

Stephan Pastis nails it today:

Pearls Before Swine, June 27, 2016.

In your ridiculous fantasy, you hope what comes next doesn’t suck. That is the essence of politics. Might as well vote for Rat.

******

Viernheim Shooting Update – I’m letting this one go – STILL NO WORD! But, I found a slight description of the shooter in a German news interview. The official story is that the shooter was a “native” German, a disturbed man probably not a terrorist. Given the huge number of “refugees” and other non-Germans in Germany it’s very likely the shooter may have been a “German” of non-German descent. A witness/hostage said the attacker spoke “broken German”:

The Waffen-man holed up, takes hostages. Almir Halilovic (16) was one of them: “The perpetrator surprised us on the toilet, spoke broken German. He hissed to us: ” Sets you go if you value your lives! ” We were about 17 hostages “.

Maybe the shooter’s German was broken by his excitement. Or maybe it was the best he could muster given his foreign disposition. If he was a second of third or whatever generation immigrant “national”, he probably came from … wait and think … fill in the blank non-Western, probably Muslim country. Is that what they’re trying to hide? The local press should re-interview the hostages and ask them if the nut looked like a native German or if his broken German had any particular accent of if he mentioned Allah. I’m sure the police will come on out with all this information anytime now.
