It is becoming ever more obvious that these two date events November 3, 2020 and January 6, 2021 were each necessary in determining the 2020 presidential outcome and thus cannot be treated separately. The Deep State who controls the vast percentage of news and Big Tech which controls most of social media insist there is no connection between the two events. Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election fair and square and January 6 was an insurrection to overthrow that election and they censor every piece of information suggesting otherwise. But these events are two parts of the same coup.
Yes, the popular vote count occurred November 3 and the Deep State media declared Biden the winner of that vote, but our system, the Electoral College, requires the vote of only the states when a president is elected and this processed January 6. But two Electoral College slates were sent to the House of Representatives from seven battleground states, one for Biden the other for Donald Trump each claiming to be the authentic vote. The Constitution reads, “The President of the Senate [then,Vice President Mike Pence] shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certificates and the votes shall then be counted” (Amendment 12).
The election of the president was entirely left to the state legislatures, not the masses. Article II, Sec. 2 of the Constitution reads, “Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress.”
All Pence had to do, as Senate president, when a state submitted two slates was to say. “Arizona (et al.) has submitted two slates one from its state legislature, the other forwarded by the state secretary of state signed by the governor. Since only the state legislature is recognized by the Constitution as the proper submitter, and I can not count both, I will count only it.” Since five of the six battleground state legislatures were Republican the issue evaporates and Trump wins.
Or, he might have said instead. “Since I can only count one slate and two have been submitted, I will give Arizona (et al.) 48 hours to resubmit directly to me a new slate of the state legislature-only-signatures; the candidate with a majority of these signatures will be counted. If this is not received in the time allotted, I will not be able to count any electoral college votes for Arizona in the 2020 presidential election.” In this count likely Trump again would have won.
The Deep State views the Vice President as merely a “ceremonially bean counter” but he is far more than that. He is the officer in charge of certifying that constitutional procedure is followed including the list coming only from state legislators—not state secretaries of states or their governors. Either option would have been entirely constitutional—but neither could be allowed.
Immediately after November 3, evidence of voter fraud flooded the media—until censored away. At this point all votes: illegals, dead persons, same person multiple ballots, and etc. remain counted in each state, these gave Biden the win; plus outright voter fraud as proved by “2000 Mules.” Almost all battleground states were led by Democrat governors and state secretaries of state who used any method available, to count these normally unlawful or illegal votes. Patriots insist that only citizens and legal votes should count as in every election since 1789.
Even with the most political censorship in U.S. history people of integrity know that the 2020 presidential election was the most fraudulent in our history. By December 23, 2020 the president of the Senate, Mike Pence, had received all certified election results from all states as required by federal law. This was followed January 6 by a joint meeting of both houses of Congress to count and declare a winner. The January 6th Commission, formed thereafter, never asked why thousands came to watch the Pence vote count, many hoping to encourage him to do the right thing. They brought American flags and bullhorns—not guns, as would be in a real insurrection.
That Pence might do the right thing concerned the Deep State as well. Trump could emerge with a second term. This they could not allow! Why not interrupt the proceedings and turn it into an insurrection instead, complete with video clips of aggression by people dressed in MAGA attire, while members of Congress flee the building for safety?
After 18 months of evaluating available data we now know that the capitol police, Antifa, BLM and FBI agents—many in undercover MAGA attire— played significant roles in directing the Trump crowd to and into the building, broke windows and introduced violence with the death of Ashley Babbit. They led the “insurrection.” We do not assert that all Trump people were innocent but almost all were. The “insurrection” was created by the Deep State to interrupt and stall the vote count. When President Trump asked his followers to “Go home in peace,” they did.
Congress, stunned and totally disarmed by media reports of an insurrection, met that evening and without opposition accepted the unconstitutional voting slates signed by the governors and their secretaries of states that insured the Biden win. The Deep State totally controlled the narrative going forward. Their dark media focused for the next 18 months, night after night, on the supposed Trump generated January 6th “so called insurrection.” In this they were assisted by Nancy Pelosi’s January 6th Commission of Trump haters.
Many now realize that the November 3 and January 6 events were two parts of the same Deep State coup to overthrow the government of the United States of America. If battleground states are unwilling to decertify ANY state slate that was not processed by a majority of their state legislatures, as required by the U.S. Constitution, the Deep State succeeded in the overthrow.
