• Not So Supreme Court

    From Lee Lofaso@2:203/2 to All on Tuesday, October 27, 2020 19:29:51
    Hello Everybody,

    "You seem ... to consider the judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions; a very dangerous doctrine indeed, and one
    which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy. Our judges
    are as honest as other men, and not more so. They have, with others,
    the same passions for party, for power, and the privilege of their
    corps ... Their power [is] the more dangerous as they are in office
    for life, and not responsible, as the other functionaries are, to the
    elective control. The Constitution has erected no such single tribunal,
    knowing that to whatever hands confided, with the corruptions of time
    and party, its members would become despots. It has more wisely made
    all the departments co-equal and co-sovereign within themselves."
    ~ Thomas Jefferson, to Donald Trump & all his minions, timeless quote

    Just imagine how much fun President Biden and the majority Democratic
    Congress will be having playing with our court system ...

    Yea! Or more realistically, imagine Trump doing that instead!

    But Trump wouldn't do something so unfair to liberals; he knows we're 1/2 & 1/2 in this country, and he's everyone's president.

    Joe Biden on the other hand, won't care about the USSC once elected. He acts tough, making voters think that he would pack the court, but in reality, the old man is just a patsy for the DNC. He'll do whatever he feels like doing, and if his past is any indication, that will be a whole lot of nothing.

    He threatened to nominate Andrew Cuomo for Attorney General. Does that sound good to you? Do all Democrats smell the same to you?

    Hello Aaron,

    Just imagine how much fun President Biden and the majority Democratic
    Congress will be having playing with our court system ...

    Yea! Or more realistically, imagine Trump doing that instead!

    Get real. The orange toad only has some 80+ days left in office.
    And he still has an `R' in front of his name.

    But Trump wouldn't do something so unfair to liberals; he knows we're 1/2 &
    1/2 in this country, and he's everyone's president.

    There are patriots and there are traitors.
    The orange toad is no patriot.

    Joe Biden on the other hand, won't care about the USSC once elected.

    Of course not. As chief executive, he will be in control of the
    executive branch, not the judicial branch.

    He acts tough, making voters think that he would pack the court, but in reality, the old man is just a patsy for the DNC.

    As president, he will be titular head of the Democratic party.
    Just as a Democrat governor is titular head of the Democratic party
    in his/her state. But how would that make Joe Biden, as any Democrat
    president, be a "patsy" for the DNC? Clearly, you can come up with
    a better theory than that.

    He'll do whatever he feels like doing, and if his past is any indication, that will be a whole lot of nothing.

    The first thing he will do, in regards to the USSC, is set up
    a commission to study the issue for 180 days. Then sit back and
    have a listen to what the commission comes up with.

    He has publicly stated that he will not seek to limit the terms
    of USSC justices. Lifetime is good enough for him, and he finds there
    to be no need end that tradition.

    Of course, we all realize the orange toad would love to be be
    "president for life" - as are a few dictators around the world.
    We do have such a thing, in a limited way. Two "lifetime" terms,
    as noted in the 22nd Amendment, if served consecutively. After
    then, a president has to sit out a "lifetime" before he/she can
    do it again.

    I do not expect Joe Biden to serve more than two lifetimes.
    Kamala Harris, on the other hand, may serve many more ...

    He threatened to nominate Andrew Cuomo for Attorney General.

    Andrew Cuomo would love to be president. Despite what he told
    his brother. But hey. Not to worry. He's a happy single guy, who
    can do whatever he wants. With a mansion to entertain the ladies.
    So why change a good thing?

    Does that sound good to you?

    Danny Kaye was the court jester, and the best man qualified
    for the job. But he's no longer with us, and unavailable for
    the job.

    Do all Democrats smell the same to you?

    Danny Kaye had orange hair. I am sure he passed the sniff test.

    Wow dude, the news reporters in your country are even worse than the liberal ones in the USA.

    Trump hasn't treated any states "like shit." He has literally moved mountains for some of his toughest critics, and they are the ones who ignorantly continue to turn their backs on him.

    Tell us, why do you think that these democratic states are looking for money from the Federal Government?

    Could it be that they need money to rebuild after it was torn down, as seen
    in classic trek; where the citizens were free from the will of Laundu.
    As seen in Classic Trek episode The Return of the Archons.

    that he has managed the Covid-19 virus and that we are "rounding the

    Trump has angered the People's Republic while defending the American economy. Similar to how we gave Canada the business with their milk. It's not meant as disrespect, it's just meant as "my country first." That's the way it ought to be in every country.

    Handing cash to terrorist regimes, being a tool for China,
    boosting inflation,

    How much cash are we talking about here and what regimes?

    There's no clear answer that I can find, but news reports range it between 1.5 billion & 7 billion, referring to taxpayer money that was paid to Iran as a settlement. I respect the world government enough to say that the USA could possibly have been liable in some case, that could happen, however, Obama should have fought to have the payment deferred until Iran abolishes their nukes. Instead, our liberal buddies paid it in full without counter-suing for the nukes. A good Republican, like Trump, won't play that way. With Trump
    as our president, any factually known threat to this nation gets a foot in the back door.

    What nuclear threats have been ignored?

    Obama ignored Kim Jong Un while he played around with nuclear bombs. It was uncomfortable. I'm not saying it's necessarily the USA's responsibility to disarm Kim Jong Un, but it's our responsibility to reach out to him and offer diplomacy.

    Perhaps you are referring to the fact that Obama returned Iranian money
    to Iran? Something that was agreed on by multiple countries.

    No idea what you might be referring to there.

    How did Obama ignore nuclear threats? He prevented Iran from developing nuclear weapons.

    you ready to go back to all that
    because the guy who fixed it all is on the red team?

    I don't really care which team the president is on -- I care what they
    do. Trump has allowed Iran to develop nuclear weapons. Nothing he has
    done has prevented North Korea from doing so. His actions with respect
    to China have had very bad effects on sectors of the American economy.

    He tries to measure his success by the rise in stock market prices, but
    the average American has little play in that -- only his rich buddies
    and benefactors. And even the market is not doing so good right now.

    He has corrupted the Justice Department. He has replaced competent
    staff with yes-men who have no or little experience in the areas they
    are assigned.

    BUT, most importantly, he had totally mishandled the current pandemic at
    the cost of American lives. He may well have recovered from his Covid infection with little after effect, but a lot of people did not.
    Hundreds of thousands are dead, and hundreds more will be dead by the
    beginning of next year. An untold number of people will have lasting conditions from Covid.

    I honestly do not see how any reasoned person can support this failed businessman who has much to wound the American way. My opinion has
    nothing to do with Red & Blue. I have voted for Republican Presidents
    and Governors. But there are many prominent and dedicated Republicans
    who are not going to vote for Trump. That says something.

    The Iran deal *and* trusting them to honor such deals would be my
    example of ignoring a nuclear threat.

    The Iran deal by the previous administration was explicitly to prevent
    the current nuclear threat. And the trust was backed up by inspections.
    It was working. Iran stopped developing.

    Trump killed the deal, and as a result they have resumed and increased
    their developement of nuclear weapon capability.

    Obama curtailed Iran's nuclear program? How? I didn't see him to anything diplomatic with them either. He didn't open dialogue with either country and they both were (and still are) a threat. There's no paying Iran to stop from stockpiling nukes. Let Al pay for that if he wants to.

    North Korea (I can say almost for sure) is being monitored by our military and by South Korea for defense reasons, but Obama wasn't open to dialogue with Kim.

    So Trump's open to dialogue with Kim - that's great sorta, but it hasn't solved much because Kim is not interested in giving up nukes. At least he knows that he can barter with the USA first before attacking anyone with these nukes - unless Joe Biden gets elected, then it can be inferred that the door is closed, although I hope that's not the case.

    So Trump's open to dialogue with Kim - that's great sorta, but it hasn't solved much because Kim is not interested in giving up nukes. At least he knows that he can barter with the USA first before attacking anyone with these nukes - unless Joe Biden gets elected, then it can be inferred that
    the door is closed, although I hope that's not the case.

    Even after Trump's involvement with Kim we are in the same place and North Korea continues to test.

    If North Korea or Iran were to come to the table a place would be found for them. Even if we disagree with other contries we can have a dialog with them if they will come to the table.

    He did not ignore NK. Trump bolstered NKs status. Obama curtailed
    Iran's nuclear program, Trump reinstated their nuclear program.

    Obama curtailed Iran's nuclear program? How?

    The Iran nuclear deal had them stop their enriched uranium and nuclear
    weapon development. It was working until Trump cancelled the deal. At
    which time Iran resumed their nuclear development programs.


    How about one who was chairman of the RNC, and before that the Lt. Governor of my state? Others who were prominent in managing campaigns
    for Republican candidates. Previous Republican Sec. of State.

    So you've got 3 votes against Trump right there, but then I've got
    guys like US Rep Van Drew abandoning the Democratic party, likely bringing support from a trail of voters along with him.

    You give one junior member of the house who changed parties to become a
    Trump supporter -- and who is now losing his race to get elected again
    because of that. I gave you more than three senior Republicans, all of
    whom are now rejecting Trump and his "policies".

    Today, since Donald Trump scrapped the Iran deal, Iran may very well be or soon be a nuclear threat. That doesn't make the world a safer place.

    The world would be a safer place if the USA made regular payments to
    Iran? Who would be safer? The USA? What about Israel? Are they gonna be safer with the USA giving Iran more money?

    The USA is not now, and has not made regular payments to Iran. What
    happened was we had to return their money to them. That is not "giving"
    Iran money.

    Hello Alan,

    I lived it. Obama ignored the crap out of Kim Jong Un. While rogue test
    missles were being launched by Kim Jong Un, Obama was sitting in the guest
    seat on the late show not giving a flying one.

    Obama didn't go in guns blazing but that doesn't mean NK was being ignored.

    Had NK sent its military into South Korea would Obama have chosen
    to do nothing? Had a nuclear-armed NK illegally annexed part of South
    Korea would Obama have simply sat back and done nothing?

    That is what he did when Russia sent its military into Ukraine,
    and illegally annexed the Ukrainian area of Crimea.

    Oh, Obama did impose sanctions on Russia.
    And Trump did want to reward Russia by lifting those sanctions.
    But other than that ...

    Today, since Donald Trump scrapped the Iran deal, Iran may very well be or
    soon be a nuclear threat. That doesn't make the world a safer place.

    The world would be a safer place if the USA made regular payments to Iran?
    Who
    would be safer? The USA? What about Israel? Are they gonna be safer with
    the
    USA giving Iran more money?
    **************************

    I don't know what you mean by payments to Iran. I don't think that is happening.

    It was a refund. Of Iran's own money. Not a bad deal.
    Now that they have their own stuff back, they have no
    excuse but to sue for peace.

    Hello Greg,




    President Trump ripped up the Iran Nuclear Deal for good reason.
    This President will not delivering pallets of cash like Obama did.

    Your orange toad has done nothing to discourage Iran from attaining
    its nuclear ambitions to make/obtain nukes.

    They chant Death to America, they have supported and have funded terrorism around the globe, they are hostile to Israel.

    Hezbolla and Hamas pay kids to chant and/or dance on camera
    to show the world their dislike for Israel. Does that make all
    children "terrorists"? What wrong have the children done, other
    than act like fools in front of a camera? At least they got some
    candy, or whatever they were paid, for their efforts.

    If Iran gets aggressive with their military, the U.S. military will crush them as if they were a bug.

    We all know how well GWB's "War on Terror" went. He failed to find
    the guy who was responsible for the WTC disaster, then turned around
    and started another war so he could win a second term, then lost a
    US city to a hurricane.

    While it is true the orange toad did not start any new wars, he
    did manage to become the first president in history to have lost
    a war - the war on the coronavirus. Almost 10 million infected,
    with over a quarter of a million of our fellow citizens dead.

    Hello Aaron,

    The Iran nuclear deal had them stop their enriched uranium and nuclear
    weapon development. It was working until Trump cancelled the deal. At
    which time Iran resumed their nuclear development programs.

    It was a bad deal.

    How good a deal would a nuclear-armed Iran would have been?
    That is the alternative. Do you believe Saudi Arabia would have
    stood by, allowing its nemesis to threaten them with nukes?
    What about Turkey? Remember, Turkey is a member of NATO, and
    might decide to invoke a certain section of the charter to
    get the USA and the rest of Europe to invade Iran - just for
    kicks. And no telling what Israel would do - before anybody
    even says a word.

    Iran was holding the world hostage and they were not allowing inspections, therefore, the nuclear deal was paying Iran to do
    whatever they want.

    So, by cancelling the deal, we are now back at square one, when
    Iran was able to do its own thing any which way it wanted.

    Iran is not going nuke-free especially if Israel doesn't go nuke-free.

    What makes you think Iran has nukes? We know Israel does. Pakistan
    also has nukes. And India. What if Saudi Arabia decides it wants nukes?
    And Turkey could easily acquire them as a member of NATO.

    Let's try a new deal that gives Iran something they really want, because money isn't good enough.

    A nuclear-free zone in that part of the world? Let them all
    have as many nukes as they want to blow themselves up. The war
    will not last long.

    because of that. I gave you more than three senior Republicans, all of
    whom are now rejecting Trump and his "policies".

    There are several house candidates out there bragging about their Trump endorsements. Are they making a mistake by bringing attention to it? We're gonna see..

    Democrats will retain the House, flip the Senate, and capture

    Joe's puppeteers are more complex than Jared & Ivanka; he's got Obama's connections to organized crime in Chicago, the DNC who can be bought by autonomous pedophiles with islands, blacksploitation groups who Joe owes a huge debt to, people who wipe asses, big Hollywood rapists like Harvey Winestein, who helped elect him & the ignorant one.

    Nobody wants nuke-free. Everyone wants nukes. It's only a matter of time before the extremists get their hands on that dirty business. Once that happens, any survivors will surely convert to Islam for what it's worth.

    Jeffrey Epstein and Harvey Weinstein are both prominant donors to Democrat campains. If Epstein were alive today, he'd be donating to Biden's campaign. And if Weinstein weren't in jail, he'd be doing the same.

    Sexual predators play an important role in many Democratic elections. In fact, California just recently gave the green light to sex offenders by no longer requiring them to register with their state's sex offender registry. Some sick perverts must be handing some serious cash to liberal politicians in California to get that to become a reality; I bet Chris Rock is one of those guys.

    Hello Alan,

    Had NK sent its military into South Korea would Obama have chosen
    to do nothing? Had a nuclear-armed NK illegally annexed part of South >LL>Korea would Obama have simply sat back and done nothing?

    I don't think so but I am not up on US foreign policy.

    Partitions never work. Vietnam was partitioned for decades.
    But it was the same people. Impossible to keep them divided
    among themselves. Ireland is still divided, but will soon
    be united again given the fallout over Brexit. Korea has been
    divided for decades, but it is the same people, whose desire
    is to become as one country again.

    That is what he did when Russia sent its military into Ukraine,
    and illegally annexed the Ukrainian area of Crimea.

    The people of Crimea are divided,

    The people of Ukraine are divided, some of them being stateless
    due to the Russian invasion and illegal annexation of their lands.

    some there still want to belong to Russia so that's a hard one to call.

    The Crimean area of Ukraine is an occupied territory being held
    by Russia. The Golan Heights is an occupied territory being held
    by Israel. Even though Donald Trump might recognize Crimea as
    being a part of Russia, and the Golan Heights as being a part of
    Israel, the rest of the world knows better.

    Crimea is a part of Ukraine, according to Ukraine and the international community. The Golan Heights is a part of Syria, according to Syria and
    the international community.

    If Obama had gone in there with a military force it could have gotten very
    ugly very quickly.

    Had Obama sent in US troops to Ukraine in order to keep Russia from
    invading part of Ukraine, Russia would have backed off and there would
    have been no more Russian soldiers in Crimea.

    Oh, Obama did impose sanctions on Russia. And Trump did want to LL>reward
    Russia by lifting those sanctions. But other than that ...

    I wouldn't trust Donald Trump with any of this.

    Well, there are only two more days before the election.
    And then 79 more days of hell before he leaves office.

    Unless he does the impossible and stays on like, forever.

    Not by a long shot. You're someone who wants to blame Trump for everything because "orange man bad."

    You apparently have a memory capacity of a 3.5 diskette.

    From where I sit, I see promises made and promises kept.

    With Trump I have seen the following.
    I have seen the stock market break its own record more then a few times.
    I have seen the low unemployment among women, blacks as well as other races.
    I have seen tremendous support for the black community everything from
    the second chance from a life sentence / out in prison, to opportunity zones for urban environments to the funding black colleges well into the next
    decade.
    I have seen an economy starting to come back after it was shut down
    due to the China Virus.
    I have seen better trade deals with foreign countries and the elimination of those former deals that allowed the U.S. to be the piggy bank of the world.
    I have seen a wall being constructed on the southern border.
    I have heard about the members of UN paying up, all due to Trump.
    The U.S. Embassy has been est. in Jerusalem, promised and delivered by Trump.

    If Iran gets aggressive with their military, the U.S. military will cr them as if they were a bug.

    lives to the virus. I won't say its a victory, but it is clear that what your spouting off here is a over dramatization of what has actually occurred.
    10 million infected and how many of that 10 million recover? 10 million..

    I see what your attempting but failing miserably to achieve.
    You want to portray Trump as a failure but when facts are introduced your rendered as harmless.

    Hi Gregory Deyss!

    With Trump I have seen the following.
    I have seen better trade deals with foreign countries and the
    elimination of those former deals that allowed the U.S. to be the piggy bank of the world. I have seen a wall being constructed on the southern border. I have heard about the members of UN paying up, all due to
    Trump. The U.S. Embassy has been est. in Jerusalem, promised and
    delivered by Trump.
    Don't forget, I have seen Trump negotiate peace deals with Israel and her surrounding Arab neighbours... a feat that *no* other president in history has been able to accomplish.

    Did you hear about Hunter Biden's laptop that was left at a repair shop that had very incriminating material including pedophilia on it?

    Cheers,

    With Trump I have seen the following.
    I have seen the stock market break its own record more then a few times. I have seen the low unemployment among women, blacks as well as other races. I have seen tremendous support for the black community everything from the second chance from a life sentence / out in prison, to opportunity zones for urban environments to the funding black colleges well into the next decade.
    I have seen an economy starting to come back after it was shut down
    due to the China Virus.

    Some of the drugs will suck for a while, but the prices might be able to come down if all the imported ones come in through the Oregon coast. Smugglers

    We've all (most of us) have been in a nervous situation with drugs; like when you get pulled over and you have stuff in your pocket. Could you imagine no longer having to be scared about having 2 pallets of cocaine shrink-wrapped in the back of your pickup?

    Of course it's going to mysteriously disappear, if that came to light, I highly doubt that he would have got as many votes as he got. I'm Canadian and was hoping for a Trump win because he aligns with a lot of my personal values.

    That is precisely what I fear will happen to the American people, but sadly thats where it seems to be going and will happen very quickly once Biden gets officially sworn in.

    We're fixin' to overturn the results of the election in multiple states, and President Trump won by not just hundreds of thousands of votes but by millions of votes that were shifted by this software that was designed expressly for that purpose. We have sworn witness testimony of why the software was designed. It was designed to rig elections. He was fully briefed on it. He saw it happen in other countries. It was exported internationally for profit by the people that are behind Smartmatic and Dominion.


    They did this on purpose. It was calculated and they've done it before. We have evidence from 2016 in California. We have so much evidence I feel like it's coming in through a fire hose.â€

    Lin Wood Files Lawsuit Challenging Georgia's Secretary of State's Dark Unconstitutional Agreement with Hillary Attorney Marc Elias


    By Joe Hoft
    Published November 14, 2020 at 10:45am


    The country is just being introduced to Georgia Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger. We are also beginning to uncover the corrupt actions he has taken to steal the 2020 election for the Democrats. Soon the whole country will know him and his actions.

    On March 6, 2020 the Georgia Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger, a Republican, signed off on a secret legal agreement with the Democratic Party
    of Georgia, the Democrat Senatorial Campaign Committee, and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee to alter absentee ballot procedures in Georgia.


    The Democrats' attorney for this secret deal was Marc Elias from Perkins Coie, the consigliere of Hillary Clinton who has been busy managing other secretive Democratic election operations all across the country. (In Appendix A of Lin Wood filing yesterday is a copy of the agreement See below.)


    Attorney L. Lin Wood, Jr. who is a resident and legal voter of the state of Georgia, filed a legal complaint yesterday against not only Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, but also against the members of the Secretary of State's State Board of Elections for getting into this agreement.


    TRENDING: Sidney Powell Drops a BOMB on Sunday Morning Futures: CIA May have Used Dominion for Its Own Benefit - Gina Haspel Should be Fired Immediately!


    Wood tweeted about his lawsuit yesterday against the Georgia Secretary of
    State and Election Board based on their unconstitutional actions in the election:


    I filed a lawsuit today in federal court in Atlanta to establish that the
    March 6, 2020 Consent Agreement by the GA Secretary of State rendered UNLAWFUL the 11/3 GA general election.


    I am right under established law. https://t.co/3FBMWlPDmC


    Lin Wood (@LLinWood) November 13, 2020


    The lawsuit filed by Wood argues that the Secretary of State and the Election Board changed the manner in which absentee ballots were counted which they had no right to sign.


    Do you think Democrats cheated in the election? (Short answer: YES!)


    The right to change election processes lies with the legislature and not the Secretary of State or the Judiciary:


    Wood argues in his lawsuit that given that Raffensperger had no legal
    authority to sign this legal document, Wood is asking of the Court, in his Prayer For Relief, the following:


    (a) That, as a result of Defendants' violations of the United States Constitution and violations of other federal and state election laws, this Court should enter an order, declaration, and/or injunction that prohibits Defendants from certifying the results of the 2020 general election in Georgia on a statewide basis;


    (b) Alternatively, that, as a result of Defendants' violations of the United States Constitution and violations of other federal and state election laws, this Court should enter an order, declaration, and/or injunction prohibiting Defendants from certifying the results of the General Elections which include the tabulation of defective absentee ballots, regardless of whether said ballots were cured;


    (c) Alternatively, that, as a result of Defendants' violations of the United States Constitution and violations of other federal and state election laws, this Court should enter an order, declaration, and/or injunction that the results of the 2020 general election in Georgia are defective as a result of the above-described constitutional violations, and that Defendants are
    required to cure said deficiencies in a manner described in the Litigation Settlement; and


    (d) Any and other such further relief that this Court or the Finder of Fact deems equitable and just.


    Raffensperger is now running a bogus recount where signatures are not being challenged:


    What's Going On In Georgia? Demand the Governor and Secretary of State Perform a Legitimate Recount!


    It's clear that Georgia Secretary of State Raffensperger signed an agreement which permitted the state of Georgia to have its election tampered with which would swing the election to the Democrats. This corrupt deal with Hillary's attorney Elias is now being uncovered. It never should have been signed in
    the first place.

    Thats what bothers you (and Kracht, too) about me; I speak up to you! You
    don't like that. Thats why I do it. Because I know it bothers you that I don't sit on this side of my monitor and let all that leftist bullshit the two of

    A Cautionary Note to Antifa and BLM Thugs Contemplating "Civil War"


    November 15, 2020


    "Civil war" has been a term much in use by both the Left and the Right these days. Try a web search on "civil war in America 2020," and the result is dozens/hundreds of links to commentators speculating about the "coming war between Left and Right and who will ignite the spark" (and a lot of other related themes). The Left claim that "white supremacist and white nationalist militias" will get things started, and the legacy media have produced dozens
    of articles "investigating" militias and propagating that false narrative. One of the latest investigative reports on Oath Keepers and militias along those lines was published in the November issue of The Atlantic. It conveys the leftwing view of militias: crazy, fringe, gun-toting elements itching to start a civil war, and whom polite society should shun (and then disarm at the very least).


    Funny how no "right-wing militia" has been responsible for the unchecked violence in Democrat-run cities and states over the past nine months. How many militia types have looted and set fires to businesses, obstructed public safety, illegally trespassed on private property, trashed public streets, and attacked video journalists and others? That would be the province of the left-wingers associated with Antifa and Black Lives Matter, not the militia movement. And as Twitter personality Rising Serpent reminds us, conservatives and Trump supporters (or, "right-wingers," as the Democrat-media complex refers to us) don't riot or commit acts of violence, with the most recent example being yesterday's march of Trump supporters in Washington, DC:


    And not a single building burned, not a single cop assaulted and not a single shop looted.


    One could further argue that the Antifa/BLM rioting to date has been merely a dress rehearsal and practicing of unit-level tactics in preparation for the "real deal," as their advocates have been announcing on social media in the run-up to the election. Here is what Newsweek reported on 20 October about
    "200 protests already planned." The likelihood that those people have
    dispersed given the current state of the contested election is exceedingly
    low. In fact, they came out with a vengeance just last night in Washington,
    DC, to attack Trump supporters.


    What will happen when President Trump is certified the winner after the
    massive electronic voter fraud by Dominion Systems et al has been fully exposed? I find this short video instructive toward that end, as it focuses on the emotions of people that are being exploited - especially in the Left - and how a civil war or insurrection might start. Control the narrative; control
    the people. That is what the legacy media have been doing since "declaring" Joe Biden the winner despite the lack of certification by states that would give him the necessary 270 Electoral College votes to win. This video is a primer on how a "civil war" could be initiated:


    I maintain that the militia movement is completely different than the caricature that the legacy media have made it out to be. Except for truly fringe elements in tiny numbers that are massively exaggerated by the Democrat-media complex, they are NOT "white supremacists and Nazis" but rather are well-disciplined and well-trained patriots who love and respect the Constitution and our Republic, and who are not about to let the Left destroy everything dear to them. Many are veterans and current or former law enforcement officers, too. Others are simply concerned citizens, avid hunters, and normal Americans who are aghast at the lawlessness displayed in America's cities this past year by Antifa and BLM hoodlums.


    To elaborate further on the militia movement, as well as to provide a cautionary note to those on the Left planning violent insurrection in the US,
    I asked a pal to weigh in on his thoughts and direct experiences with American militias. He is former Army special forces and a former CIA operative/contractor who has fought on the ground in insurgencies all over the world throughout his career. He is in and around the militia movement and
    knows a LOT of people therein, as well as their motivations, training, experience, etc. Here is what the man known to a select few as "Spear One" had to say:


    The American civil militia movement is the largest and best trained para-military force in the history of the world. The elements of which
    militias are compromised are as follows (Note: None of the below includes the small numbers of White Supremacist or Racist Groups.):


    Veterans. There are large numbers of veterans that have learned of war, and especially unconventional war, during our long years pretending to fight the insurgencies in Iraq and Afghanistan (referred to as "Afghaniraq"). Their skills learned in the formal training and in operations and their informal (unconventional) training at the hands of the enemy (that operate from the manuals and training supplied to Iran, pre-Islamic Republic, by both the U.S. Army Special Forces and the CIA). These vets have labored through the worse
    run combat operations America has ever fostered due to poor leadership micro- managed directly from Washington (US political leadership is more attuned to the bleating of the Washington Post then the needs of their troops or the requirements that must be met to win any kind of war). This poor leadership
    was adversely amplified by Rules of Engagement that negated any possibility to win, or even break even, in counter-insurgency warfare. These vets, between repeated rotations back to Afghaniraq spent their time taking care of each other (as the military did not understand their needs or would spend precious budget on soldier "life-cycle" systems support to little effect. These vets are literally chomping at the bit to tear into an obvious enemy of the US, namely, the socialists and anyone simple-minded enough to carry the socialist banner. Add in NO ROE and learned practices by terminal control of the target populations as taught by the Iranian-led Iraqi and Afghan insurgents. During their time between deployments, these troops were buying 4-Wheel-Drive vehicles, world class sniper rifles, world class combat pistols and world
    class (semi-automatic) military quality light rifles - and practicing maintenance, marksmanship, and putting aside fairly large amounts of
    ammunition (close at hand at this moment).


    Large numbers of retired Special Operations Forces (or those with expired
    terms of service) that are prepared and trained to organize and lead Civil Militia forces. Add to the veterans core the large numbers of talented folks who are combat engineers who are not only trained and experienced at building and fixing, but are inventive and talented at breaking anything placed in
    their way.


    One does not need explosives to conduct demolitions - heavy construction equipment, fire and good ol' 7.62 ammo are better than adequate to destroy anything that needs "interdiction" to support the goals of a counter- insurgency. These folks are organizing right now, and many are in lock-step with their local sheriff's office and nearby active military units. Let us not forget those special operations personnel that matriculated into the Intelligence Community

    .
    All of their skills lying dormant while in the military were exercised while with the IC. These folks know how to deal with anything the government dishes out.


    The National Guard. I am out of touch with that element but my experience in the past and limited contact now (Intel and Special Forces Guard and Reserve units) indicates that many, if not most, Guard units will "go over" to the militia once such militia stands up after the leftists start their insurrection. Reserve units would simply dissipate as their more effective members also head to the militia. Consider the possibility that these guys go over WITH their equipment.


    To explain: the feds show up with armored vehicles; the "new" Guard shows up with Bradley IFV's and M1A1 Abrams tanks. And having drawn the accessory equipment and ammo time after time for training purposes, these guys know
    where to go to gear up. And even if without ammo, both vehicles trump police vehicles and provide good platforms to fight from utilizing small arms.


    NOTE - the Intel and planning elements included above far outstrip that of the federal government in any given locale. and soon after standing up a non-electronic communications system would link all large formations in a way that totally negates the ability of modern monitoring, In fact, they will use government monitoring to run fakes and lure government elements into traps.
    Yes - these guys know that armed couriers rule, and that internet, cell and telephonic commo is for fools or baiting the enemy.


    The active duty military. This subject is staged. First of all, realize that even if the military stays disengaged there will be yuuge AWOL numbers as the most dedicated patriots in the military head home to join their fathers, uncles, brothers and friends in the militia. Second - once (if) deployed against civilians, that AWOL rate doubles the first week - now taking their equipment with them. Third - as seen in the past in Third World countries - there is the reality that at the unit level, the national headquarters (Pentagon) is not in charge. A rebellion at the O-4 and down levels would see serious large armed elements going over - with equipment - prepared to do what has to be done. The combat vets on active duty are known for fully understanding the "defend against all enemies, foreign and domestic" portion
    of their oath, and I have witnessed many of them stating that this is the "One Oath to Rule Them All". (This the view of this ground-pounding spec ops vet.)


    Civilians. Although mostly not prior service, there are MILLIONS of civilians who feel strongly about the country and are prepared to stand up at the moment it makes sense to do so. Large numbers of these folks own a good hunting rifle that is the equivalent of any but the most specialized military sniper rifle. Since 2008, these folks have also been purchasing military quality rifles and combat pistols. Civil training schools that specialize in close quarters
    combat training (often touted as "self-defense training") have opened in all but the New England states. Many of these training organizations are quite large and staffed by prior military and LEO types, and most are fully booked all year long (okay, they close down for Christmas). This able and available civil force can fairly easily be absorbed into the above active and veteran militia after the Left initiates their insurgent actions. Also understand that there are untold billions of rounds of ammunition on hand with reloading of battlefield components a real resource. Speaking of ammunition, battle field recovery is well understood, and one must know that the trunk of every
    official LEO vehicle is a treasure trove of support items to include firearms and ammunition. There is enough ammunition on hand already to eradicate all known leftist/socialist threats and their add-on elements (i.e., the media, Islamic elements, LEOs siding with the socialists, and any federal officers attempting to interfere with militia actions that are required to end all socialist threats and actions and restore confidence in the federal government to the people of the US).


    Relatives and support systems. Finally, as with all successful resistance forces, there is a large support element backing the militias - pre-screened
    by blood and life-long friendships. These provide surveillance, safe havens, transport, logistics, and hospital services. (This is the real reason the
    Nazis or Soviets - heck, even the Romans, back in the day - would go after family members well into 2-3 degrees of separation from a person they had caught and imprisoned/executed for anti-government actions.)


    "Spear One" then provided this summary of the nominal goals of the militia movement:


    The civil militia goal is to clean house once the Left initiate their insurrection in the streets - to harshly dispense with the violent rioters and looters, to protect people and their property, and to send surviving local, state and federal government officials who failed to obey their oaths to enforce public safety home and demand elections for their immediate replacement. (Not change the structure of government - simply to clean it out and reset as near to founding documents as possible.) A side bar to the goal
    is that for the next 200 years, no one in Washington D.C. or the state
    capitols will be eager to risk another uprising, keeping in mind that humans will always require regrooving at intervals - just as Thomas Jefferson once said:

    "And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let
    them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure."

    True enough. However they are (or `were') some sort of high muckety-mucks in Fido. Such that, the last time I drew attention to one of their (make that
    read `Kracht') lies and distortions, they got various sysops to lock me out, which lasted almost two years.


    After about six or eight months one sysop (whom I will not name) fixed it so I could dl .qwk packs and `read' echoes, but it was a long long time before I
    was allowed to `post' in here again.


    Shipp was one who came up with the `fix' to lock me out.


    Kracht used her Fido `whip' to bring most of the sysops in zone one into compliance with her.


    To their everlasting credit, there were many sysops both here in zone one and in Europe who would have allowed me to read and post from their boards. Also one or two in Australia (Drummond was one of them) offered to let me read and post from their boards. However, I could never overcome the software problems since I use an ancient (Durangomail) type of OLR, and could never get any comparable software to work. And I'm not what you'd call a computer `guru'.

    She was, is, and hopefully will remain just an ordinary nodelist
    clerk. Just like all the other ordinary nodelist clerks in fidonet.

    Of course, Tim is claiming she has somehow managed to become an
    extraordinary nodelist clerk and is so powerful that not even
    superman could stop her if he wanted to.

    But nothing to worry about. No ordinary nodelist clerk has ever
    managed to accomplish that feat. So all is good. Superman is not
    dead. And still never kills.

    On 04 Nov 2020, Bryan Handfield said the following...

    With Trump I have seen the following.
    I have seen better trade deals with foreign countries and the elimination of those former deals that allowed the U.S. to be the pig bank of the world. I have seen a wall being constructed on the southe border. I have heard about the members of UN paying up, all due to Trump. The U.S. Embassy has been est. in Jerusalem, promised and delivered by Trump.

    Don't forget, I have seen Trump negotiate peace deals with Israel and her surrounding Arab neighbours... a feat that *no* other president in
    history has been able to accomplish.

    True, if this were a democrat accomplished this, there would a parade for
    every down every Main Street.
    But a democrat did do this Donald Trump did, not bad for a man who they have said would never be President.

    Did you hear about Hunter Biden's laptop that was left at a repair shop that had very incriminating material including pedophilia on it?

    Yeah and he was a Coke head, and into child porn, can't make this stuff up.

    Hello Mike,

    It's funny when I hear people mention Janis Kracht in here, because I've
    never
    seen her post anything in here in the past few years except for a recent
    message where she was disagreeing with me about BLM burning down a
    playground
    in upstate NY.

    I don't think I have ever seen her post here. Are you sure you were not disagreeing with her somewhere else?

    Why not invite her to participate? She would be welcome by me, and
    by most everybody else here. Those who do not wish to read her posts
    can always use their next key. So what's the problem?

    superman could stop her if he wanted to.

    You know that your story (hated by Janis, has to post from Zone 2 to get access) and Tim's (hated by Janis, banned from everywhere in Z1) are

    There is a difference in spinning a tale and pulling a fast one.
    Spinning a tale is a fabrication. Pulling a fast one is far more
    devious.

    What I did was pull a fast one on Janis K. and her lackey, Ross C.

    Let them think they had succeeded in getting rid of me.
    I had actually never left, but had been limiting my posts
    to the Coffee Klatsch echo on a BBS in Zone 1.

    Then I started posting messages in the Fidonews echo.
    From a BBS in Australia. That is what prompted the editor
    of the Fidonews (Frank Vest) to hand over the baton to Bj”rn
    Felten rather than to Ross C., and then shut down his own
    BBS.

    Ross C. never forgave Frank Vest for not having appointed
    him as editor of the Fidonews. That echo was supposed to belong
    to Ross C., and nobody else. Especially a Swede.

    So Ross C. tried to make a deal with Bj”rn Felten. Ross C.
    would be "editor" for those posting in Zone 1, and Bj”rn F.
    would be "editor" for those posting in all other Zones.

    So what was I to do?

    I continued posting messages in the Fidonews from a BBS
    in Australia.

    Ross C. had a grand mal. You should have read his mail
    posted on that BBS. The sysop made it an open channel for
    all to read.

    And then a fellow by the name of Wayne C. showed up on
    that same Australian BBS. Which sent Ross C. on another
    grand mal, much bigger than the one before.

    Those messages were even more fun to read.

    The real editor (Bj”rn Felten) then tore up his "gentleman's
    agreement" with Ross C. and reclaimed his sole editorship of
    the Fidonews. Ross C. then left the forum to sulk and cry.

    The Aussi sysop was then offered a very nice job in Australia
    and decided not to play any more. He kept his BBS up for a while,
    but read only. For nostalgia sake.

    Then I moved on to Bj”rn Felten's BBS. And a few others.
    Some in Zone 1, others in Zone 2, and also in Zone 3.
    I am not sure if the BBS that I was using in Zone 4 is
    still active.

    As Nick A. has probably found out, I am not so easy to
    get rid of. Kind of like a permanent stain.

    Janis K. and her lackey Ross C. hated that.

    As the years go on, certain Sysops have made their exit. Some we miss very dearly but some left us a breath of fresh-air. Egos deflated, flame wars fizzled out, zone-wars a thing of the past.

    Change is good. But change is also hard. Making it easy would
    not be change. As all real change should be challenging.

    The last remaining individuals that exist solely to tarnish Fidonet's reputation or ruin it for newcomers are dwindling. Its just a matter of time
    and patience.

    Fidonet's reputation will always be in a state of change.
    For better or for worse. That is how things work in the real
    world, as well as in the fantasy world. Well, maybe not all
    fantasy worlds ...

    I'm in my early 40's, very healthy. How old are you? How long do you think you can run the clock out for?

    I have a pirogue. And a paddle. Alligators have not eaten me yet.
    But I can tell they are getting closer ...

    Eventually you and Bjorn and some others *will* make that grand-departure.

    I work out. Just like Joe Biden. The alligators do keep me busy
    at times. But I can still outrun them on land. As long as I remember
    to zig zag.

    Hurricanes, Covid, Aids, autoerotic asphyxiation, severe rectal trauma, whatever your particular cause will be is all excellent news for us.

    Terminal velocity. That would be the way to go.

    A Canadian of Polish descent did it some years ago.
    In front of a huge crowd inside the Houston Astrodome.
    After successfully going over Niagara Falls inside
    a wooden barrel, he decided to duplicate the feat in
    from of a live audience.

    He got inside the barrel, which was almost at the top
    of the roof over the football field, and then the barrel
    with him inside was dropped towards a tub of water below.
    But the barrel hit the side of the tub and that kind of
    brought about the end of the show. And of him.

    There is one thing to understand - for some people, trolling and shit-disturbing is their "thing". Thats why they joined Fido, thats why they carry on silly threads to antagonise. By feeding into that, you are fulfilling and perpetuating that twisted enjoyment they have. Thats why I told you that engaging with Lee is a bad idea.

    Janis is a very nice person privately, behind-the-scenes. I have talked
    with her once on the phone after a certain Sysop died. She will never admit it but in public its an act, she plays the political game perfectly. As in grandmaster-level gaming complete with smiley faces. She will twist and misquote and turn the tables back on *anyone* who disagrees with her in the echoes. Even with proven wrong on something she often has the last word.

    I haven't seen it. I've been chatting with you gentlemen in here for at lea 2 years straight, maybe longer - and I've only seen like 1 message from her this whole time.

    For many years in the 2000's and even before that, there were quite the "zone-wars" going on for a few reasons. Fido politics. Ego trips.

    Not sure if that exactly qualifies for discussion in this echo so I'll leave this as my only rant on it, but Janis was a very active participant in a
    lot of Fido political crap. The reason why we have redundant peering of systems (Fidoweb), why Fidogazette went from a very nice neutral BBS zine to
    a purely Democrat soapbox, why Zone 2 absolutely hated her guts for years, why the IC position was eradicated etc... could all or some be attributed to her.

    During the zone-wars, fate would have it in 2005 that the developer of the D'Bridge mailer handed me over all of the source code in a
    gentlemens-agreement of sorts, so I could continue working on it. Very few people were using that mailer but a crazy Belgian by the name of Ward Dossche was a huge fan who surprisingly was running it for the entire ZC2 back-end operation. Zone 2 is still today the largest Zone in Fidonet.

    Around 2007 circumstances in life put me in a position to meet Ward Dossche for the first time in person in Quebec City. I did not have very much background other than "he's an asshole" from a few Zone 1 Sysops but he was nice to me and I did not see very much in the way of Zone 1 Sysops backing up any claims with evidence to his assholieness. I was warned by Janis that Ward likes to "play games". All I was fed for a long time were stories... fables.

    Anyhow we had a blast and as time went on we became friends outside of Fido context and my perception of Fido politics began to tilt negatively
    with how Janis did things. I was presented a treasure-trove archive of
    messages from IC and ZCC related areas which painted a whole different
    picture of how I thought the rest of the world saw Zone 1. When you see both sides of the story and when its presented logically without emotion... things really didn't look all sunshine and roses.

    Again - I have no idea if her tenure in Fido politics was all just a game and privately she is a very nice person. Its very hard to say why sometimes things are fine, even entertaining from her ala the Cooking echo, and other times its truly bizarre inexplicable behavior from her especially some of the shit that is exchanged in the Fidogazette echo.

    I politely excused myself from that echo when I was widely flamed just for simply asking why Fidogazette couldn't be a politically-neutral BBS zine.
    The response was basically it HAD to be a Biden rag. Its HER rag. Its HER
    echo. If you do not like HER echo, you can leave.

    It sure sounded very "inclusive", "tolerant", "welcoming diversity" to me...

    Hello Nick,

    They both have been absent from this echo for a long time. I suspect
    they a
    both the same person. Both are from NY. Janis, by day, is the sole
    Fidonet
    female. By night, she's Dan Cross, a war veteran who for some weird
    unexplainable reason is a huge Democrat supporter, but (s)he always
    insists that "I'm not a Democrat" so people never suspect the truth (Dan
    is
    Janis.)

    Janis isn't Dan... two different people. Trust me on that one please.

    Nothing wrong with being two-faced.

    There is one thing to understand - for some people, trolling and shit-disturbing is their "thing". Thats why they joined Fido, thats why they
    carry on silly threads to antagonise. By feeding into that, you are fulfilling and perpetuating that twisted enjoyment they have. Thats why I told you that engaging with Lee is a bad idea. Alan isn't Lee or Janis by a
    long shot, but you know what they say... imitation is the most sincere form
    of flattery.

    The FLAME echo was lots of fun. You should resurrect it.
    The MATZDOBRE echo was lots of fun. You should resurrect it.
    The HOLYSMOKE echo was lots of fun. You shoud resurrect it.
    There are lots of other echoes that act as flame echoes.
    And it is those echoes where most participants are/were.
    You should resurrect them all. After all, that is your job.
    To promote Fidonet, as Z1C (or whatever other title you want
    to call yourself).

    Flaming is a lost art in Fidonet. Very few, if any, of the original
    flamers are still around. Not because any of them lost interest, but
    rather because they simply are no longer here.

    Janis is a very nice person privately, behind-the-scenes. I have talked with
    her once on the phone after a certain Sysop died.

    She claims he will be back.

    She will never admit it but in public its an act, she plays the political game perfectly.

    She is still a novice, yet to graduate from kindergarten.

    As in grandmaster-level gaming complete with smiley faces.

    She flunked her class with Captain Kangaroo and was sent back
    to remedial training in Romper Room.

    She will twist and misquote and turn the tables back on *anyone* who disagrees with her in the echoes.

    She lost her "war" in Fidonews, when nobody bothered to listen
    to anything she had to say.

    Even with proven wrong on something she often has the last word.

    She eventually tired of having to listen to the sound of her
    own hand clapping and left the forum.

    Its a silly message network but what can we do...

    Janis is still active, at least in her own echos. Has anyone heard from Dan lately? We might not agree on much but I hope he is doing ok these days.

    Dan Cross you mean? I saw him post recently in another echo, but I don't see hi
    posting often these days.

    Yes. Good to hear he is still with us.

    She rules the Fidgogazette. Once upon a time she tried to rule
    the Fidonews. But could gain no followers as the land had been run
    over by trolls. So she returned to the place that trolls explode

    What's the difference between the 2? They both sound like boring echos. How could she be spoiling anyone's fun in them?

    Arent's they restricted to moderator only - like bulletins on a BBS?

    They can be restricted as such if the sysop does so. Janis is the
    moderator of the gazette echo. She developed an unfortunate habit of
    including anti-Republican political bits in the weekly gazette, and then getting upset at people (like Tim) who then wanted to discuss said bits in
    an echo that has a rule against discussing politics.

    If you don't want a subject to be discussed, it is best not to bring it up
    to begin with.

    Given that the Trump administration tried to undo the Clean Water Act from 1972 it's no wonder she votes for the Democrats if she tried the tap water.

    That takes devotion to find so many shots to take at Trump. If you dig deep enough, you'll find a whole lot of Joe Biden trying to keep brown people segregated from whites. I guess it's sorta logical to favor a segregationist over a water-poisoner.

    I suspect that Janis is employed by Joe Biden, most likely she's a respondent to one of the "activists needed" ads on Craigslist. I suspect that they recruit people to attend protests and/or commit arson. Maybe in their downtime they troll the internet (and/or BBS scene.)

    She was quiet for years & years until aparently Al informed her that I was
    in here complaining about BLM destorying a playground for handicapped children in Binghamton. (Al if you didn't tell Janis then I apologize but it's what it seemed like.)

    She popped her head in here and was all like "BLM didn't burn the playground down - it was somebody else." She was saying it with authority; like she was speaking on behalf of BLM. It's ok, I don't care if people are part of BLM and it's none of my business if they burn playgrounds down or not. But hilarious that Janis ignored thousands of messages in this echo only to come in and comment on my "playground arson" complaint. It was like she needed to come here and do her job for the Biden administration. It was funny.

    If you made an echo for that, I'd read it. I'm sure Lee and Al would read it too. But we should do something bigger than a Fido echo, like either a
    website or a social network for fixing NY.

    Let me guess it was proclaimed "only to be a few" people and not associated in any way with the the BLM bowel movement.

    The news station said "There is no connection between the arson and the BLM march that occurred earlier in the day." But what do they know? They aren't police. Then some woman put in the comments section "Thanks for saying that BLM had nothing to do with it!"

    BLM should pay to rebuild the playground anyway, if they actually give a crap about black kids. That way they could "prove" they didn't do it.

    I was using your BBS for a long time but my account got deleted. I thought it could be due to something I said in an echo, maybe I said something too crazy or possibly I pushed my luck with my language.

    Despite anything, we're conservative NYers and that's a special bond that shouldn't be broken.

    It would get invaded by people like Lee and become similar to what we have >MP> here in this echo already.

    Maybe but I doubt it. For my own part I would leave people who want to talk Tru
    p to themselves.

    Despite our various disagreements here, I don't believe you think like a
    troll, but others do, and...

    A moderator could make the rule that anti Trump talk is off topic. Not an easy >ance but doable if that what folks want to do.

    ...it is not easy to stop them. There are some things I find off-topic here but, beyond asking people not to use that language or not to call each other names, I am not certain there is an effective way to enforce much on
    Fidonet if someone is determined enough.

    Not a good idea. Then such an echo is stooping to the same level of those who do such censorship in other echoes aimed at certain poster they don't like.


    Why creat an echo for free speech only to follow the censorship which the new echo was brought into being to avoid?


    Speech is either free or it isn't.

    I don't think I'd follow an area for trump talk but I would connect the area and share it with interested nodes.

    For the most part every echo in fidonet is topical, so I don't see a problem if folks want such an area.

    Why creat an echo for free speech only to follow the censorship which the new echo was brought into being to avoid?

    We would only create the area if there was a reason, like if people want such an area to talk Trump. Echoes are not censored but for the most part they are topical so you may need to stay on topic. Echoes do have rules so you need to stay on topic and avoid behavior that is in conflict with the rules.

    Speech is either free or it isn't.

    In fidonet we have always had free speech. Echo rules are meant simply to keep an area on topic and keep a level of civility so some kind of reasonable discord can be maintained.

    There was censorship in various forms in Fido long before Trump ever came along.
