The indefinite detention of the January 6, 2021 participants is the most egregious violation of Bill of Rights Amendments V, VI, and VIII in U.S. History. Regardless of where readers stand on detainees’ guilt or innocence, no political party, president, or congress can justify the length of detainment without bail or trial gave January 6, detainees. None can say they follow the Constitution!! The presumption of innocence as the base of our judicial system has been shattered by the political party presently in power. Worse, the inhumane treatment of suspects, THOSE NOT CONVICTED OF ANYTHING, could become the precedent for the rest of society. Indefinite detention without trial is now designed to punish before guilt is established.
No political party, president, or congress can justify the length of detainment without bail or trial given January 6, detainees!! None can say they follow the Constitution! Some 34 men and women remain indefinitely incarcerated under hellacious and cruel conditions. The Bill of Rights Amendments 5, 6, and 8 was discarded for these Americans.
Consider the Amendments noted above beginning with Amendment V. No persons may “be deprived of…liberty…without due process of law.” Due process of law mandates completion of a process—accused, arrested, and sometimes detained for a short time, tried, guilt or innocence established, then freedom or incarceration—each a part of due process. Never is infinite detainment, and/or punishment while detained, without due process acceptable.
Amendment VI is essentially removed from the Bill of Rights. “In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed.” After nearly two years of confinement, no one can argue that this was speedy. It also violated the Speedy Trial Act of 1974 and, as amended, August 2, 1979, which placed time limits defining speedy trial on the prosecution. These too were ignored by the Joe Biden government. In this case, the accused is denied a trial at all. When a public trial is convened, if ever, the amendment requires that the accused “be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense.”
From the start legal necessities for a prisoner’s defense became tools of punishment and control. January 6 detainees have, “No Access to Discovery,” “No Legal Support such as laptops, printers, and copiers,” No “Legal Mentors,” and they lack “Legal Documentation on Tablets.” Also, guards prevented them “from attending court dates.” How can any prisoner believe that those confining him will take seriously his “compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense?”. (“34 US Political Prisoners in DC Gulag Demand Transfer to Guantanamo Bay,” By Harold Pease, Ph.D., LibertyUnderFire.com).
But Amendment VIII may be the most violated. “Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.” We know of no bail or fines implemented for any of the remaining 34 January 6 detainees. Respecting cruel and unusual punishment, certainly the seven paged letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland by the 34 remaining Jan. 6 detainees, noting 70 abhorrent violations of human rights in their nearly two-year imprisonment without bail or trial, testifies of such. Their treatment was so bad that they unanimously requested a transfer to Guantanamo and argue that non-citizens, those who killed nearly 3,000 Americans on 9-11, received better treatment than they in the DC Gulag.
Detainees believe their confinement and torturous treatment is largely punishment for their support of Trump in the Electoral College vote count—that is why they were in the House chambers. They believe themselves American political prisoners. Indeed, MAGA supporters are subject to reeducation (brainwashing) through education tablets, these filled with C.R.T. propaganda and racial biased media. Guards, mostly black, routinely racially profile detainees, mostly white, and prisoners who are “repeatedly mocked and or insulted for our skin color or ‘religious’ documentation.” These are threatened, maced, physically harassed, beaten, invaded in the middle of the night, assaulted politically, mocked by staff, and verbally assaulted being compared to beasts, dogs, and hogs by the guards. Remember DC. guards are decidedly far left, as is the DC environment from which they came, thus they view their MAGA detainees as enemies.
Those able to get messages “out to the public tell of their long-term solitary confinement without cause, sleep deprivation techniques, beatings at the hands of guards while in restraints, and threats of harsher treatment for speaking to the media (“Ignore the Dissidents of Our Time at Your Peril,” by Sarah Corridor, Homefront Crusade, October 13, 2021).
Nathan DeGraves One of the 34 DC Gulag January 6 political prisoners requesting to be transferred to Guantanamo because the treatment for those who killed almost 3,000 Americans, they believe, is better than what they have gotten in the DC Gulag.
Nathan DeGraves, one of the 34 demanding to be sent to Guantanamo, after four months in the Gulag was able to smuggle out a description of the conditions he suffered. “The conditions here are inhumane,” he wrote, “DC’s Gitmo January Sixers experienced daily lockdowns for 23 to 24 hours before being allowed to leave our small 120 square-foot cells. The physical and mental anguish that results from this kind of severe isolation has caused many people to go on a rapid mental decline. As a result, a large percentage of us are heavily medicated with anti-anxiety and anti-depressant drugs, which help to cope with the psychological and mental abuse we endure. Many times the little recreation we do receive is stripped away if our cell isn’t up to the standards of the guard on duty. This changes from day to day.” All this is both cruel and unusual punishment.
“January Sixers have lost recreation time, and out-of-cell activity time, for any news interviews about the jail when they are aired on TV, when people speak up about our conditions, or rallies are held in our name. We’ll probably have a lockdown upon the publishing of this letter. So I have already warned those I know in advance” (Nathan DeGraves: “An American Political Prisoner,” By Harold Pease, Ph.D., LibertyUnderFire.com).
If we do not stop the injustices and human suffering surrounding us, someday we too may suffer the same.

In America, land of “Liberty and Justice for All,” 34 political prisoners, both men and women, remain held indefinitely without bail or trial just short of two years in what has been referred to as Biden’s Gulag. This is in open violation of the Bill of Rights Articles VI and VIII. January 6, inmates now beg for extradition to Guantanamo Bay where real terrorists were housed after bringing down the Twin Towers and damaging the Pentagon on September 11, 2001, killing 2,996 Americans twenty one years ago. In Guantanamo they believe they will be better treated.
The first of several pages written to Attorney General Merrick Garland by the 34 remaining Jan. 6 detainees, noting 70 abhorrent violations of human rights in their nearly two year imprisonment without bail or trial. They requested transfer to Guantanamo and argue that non-citizens, those who killed nearly 3,000 in 9-11, received better treatment than they in the DC Gulag. Garland, the Democratic Party and press ignored it.
Their heartbreaking letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland, dated October 2, 2022, listed 70 unacceptable grievances or abuses. They called conditions there hellacious and referred to the facility as a “dungeon of Human Rights Violations.” The food, they said, lacked nutrition, calories, and nourishment contributing to scurvy, loss of head hair and eyesight. Worms were found in salads and rust in the drinking water.
Cell conditions seemingly designed to torment include: black mold found everywhere, denial of “basic cleaning equipment to sanitize living space,” broken sinks, and toilets that won’t flush but flood. Mice and cockroaches infested everywhere. Personal grooming supplies are denied.
Accommodations also seemingly designed to torment include: improper medical care, “arriving months later, or none at all!” The same for mail, “delayed 3-4 months prior to delivery.” Laundry is returned “with brown stains, pubic hair, and or reeking of ripe urine.” Vaccines are mandated for: visitations, visitors, haircuts, religious services, and speaking with lawyers in person. One must be “boosted” for access to the Internet (most opposing the COVID vaccine and boosters are MAGA supporters—thus hated) and reeducation (brainwashing) through education tablets is prominent, these filled with C.R.T. propaganda and racial biased media.
Legal necessities to their defense become tools of control. January 6 detainees have, “No Access to Discovery,” “No Legal Support such as laptops, printers, copiers,” “Legal Mentors,” they lack “Legal Documentation on Tablets.” And, guards prevented them “from attending court dates.”
Guards, mostly black, routinely racially profile detainees, mostly white, prisoners are “repeatedly mocked and or insulted for our skin color or ‘religious’ documentation.” These are threatened, maced, physically harassed, beaten, invaded in the middle of the night, assaulted politically, mocked by staff and verbally assaulted being compared to beasts, dogs and hogs by the guards. Remember DC. Guards are decidedly far left, as is the DC environment thus they view their MAGA detainees as enemies. To help hide these insults and abuses, grievance forms on tablets were removed so nothing could be reported.
If more was needed to control the political prisoners, outdoor recreation was arbitrarily denied as were access to the Internet, attorneys, law library, and worship services. And prisoners are “stuck in cells for 9 days without [a] shower.” If this was not enough they were “sent to ‘the Hole’ if we express any political views whatsoever”—“solitary Confinement for 25 ½ hours or more at a time.” This is still thought by most Americans to be “cruel and unusual” punishment. Trials too were “postponed for at least 6 Months or almost a Year,” seemingly to punish or control.
Why isn’t more said by members of Congress? The prisoners answered, “Entry to Congressmen & Women who came to check on us [was] Denied.” And the Leftist press doesn’t care. Imagine a member of Congress denied access, they serve essentially as the city council for the District of Columbia, it is their shared responsibility to fund and know what is happening in THAT facility.
But this is not all, detainees wrote of “death threats from within the jail” and they received threats upon “our homes and families through the mail.” All this led to their list of abuses and request to Attorney General Garland to serve elsewhere—although not convicted of anything.
Their plea, “We hereby request to spend our precious and limited days, should the government continue to insist on holding us captive unconstitutionally as pre-trial detainees, to be transferred and reside at Guantanamo Bay,” a detention facility,” they maintained, “that actually provides nutritional meals, routine sunlight exposure, top notch medical care, is respectful of religious requirements, has centers for exercise/entertainment for its detainees despite the fact that those residents are malicious terrorists, real members of the Taliban, and few are United States Citizens,” instead, they wrote, “of remaining trapped within the wretched confines of cruel and unusual punishment of the DC Jail.”
Those, signing having experienced all or most of the above were: Brian Mann, Pete Schwartz, Brandon Fellows, Jeffrey McKellop, Andrew Taake, Scott Fairlamb, Daniel Caldwell, Ryan Nichols, Sr., Joseph Padilla, Guy Reffitt, Troy Smocks, Chris Quaglin, Sean McHugh, Shane J. Jenkins, Dominic Pezzola, Edward Lang, Peter F.

It has been two months since this heartbreaking request was made. I have waited to hear the other side. They have answered with deafening silence. The beatings will continue!

Democrats never use the word republic to describe our political system and Republicans rarely use it, both preferring to use the word democracy. Consequently most people ignorantly refer to our political system as a democracy and have to be reminded that this word is not in the Declaration of Independence, U.S. Constitution, Bill of Rights, or any other document given to us by our Founding Fathers. Our Pledge of Allegiance to the flag identifies our form of government as a republic. In the 2022 midterms the Democrat’s principle campaign slogan was saving democracy which is the antithesis of our republic. Why would we save that which our Founders clearly rejected?
Benjamin Franklin wrote in 1759, “Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote.” A republic has seven major components necessary for liberty listed below. Necessary to democracy is majority rules.
First, the importance of majority rules is recognized but limited. Is the majority always right? No! Mother made this point when her teenager asked to smoke marijuana on the basis that everyone was doing it. She asked, “If everyone jumped off a bridge would you?” The Electoral College and Bill of Rights are based upon the recognition that the majority is not always right.
Second, minority rights (less than 50%) are protected FROM the majority in a republic. In Franklin’s analogy the lamb had the right to exist even if the majority, the wolves, disagreed. A lynch mob is a democracy, everyone votes but the one being hanged. Even if caught in the act of a crime the accused is entitled to the presumption of innocence: protection of law, a judge, jury, witnesses for his defense, and a lawyer to argue his innocence; all necessary in a republic, even expensive. Then, if found guilty, hanged. Because democracy only considers majority rules it is much less expensive and decidedly faster. A rope tossed over a tree limb will do.
Third, a republic is based upon natural inalienable rights from God; first acknowledged in the Declaration of Independence. This document asserted to the world that we acknowledge that humans have rights from a source higher than mere man. A reference to deity is mentioned five times. If there is no God there can be no inalienable rights coming from Him and we are left with man as God. What man is good enough?
Fourth, a republic emphasizes individual differences, democracy absolute equality. We are not equal, even from the womb, and never will be if equality means sameness. An infant with a cleft pallet may need three operations to look normal. Some come out of the womb with a laptop, others with a basketball, and the real tough deliveries are from those bringing their golf clubs. One of my first great insights in life was that everyone was better at everything than I. A second, was that life is not fair and never will be. A third, free men are not equal and equal men are not free. Genetics makes one fat, another bald, and gives yet another terminal cancer in his youth.
Nor is monetary equality possible. Should I bestow my students each with a million dollars in exchange for everything they now own, shave their heads, and give them identical uniforms, to approximate sameness as much as possible, with the only requirement that they return in five years with some ledger of net worth. Would they be the same in what was left of the million? No! Work ethic and talent differ. Why does government try so hard to do that which is impossible? A republic looks upon our differences as assets ultimately benefiting everyone as was the invention of the automobile or computer. This is decidedly not the base of democracy.
Fifth, limited government is also a major aspect of a republic. Centralized government is good so long as it remembers that when it oversteps its bounds it becomes the greatest threat to liberty as it pulls decision-making power away from the individual. Excessive government, as the cause of the American Revolution, must never be forgotten. The Constitution as created, handcuffed the government from dominating our lives, thus the powers of the federal government were listed (Article I, Section 8). The Founders understood that the more government at the top the less at the bottom and that was the essence of freedom.
Sixth, a republic has frequent elections with options. Frequent elections happen in some socialist countries, so this alone does not ensure liberty. In fact, it may be somewhat deceiving as it fosters the notion that we choose, thus deserve, our elected officers. It also assumes that the people are correctly informed, which assumes a free press and equal access to ALL information. The part of the phrase “with options” is the part that ensures liberty. Elections under socialism provided choices but often no options as all participants are from the same party or ideology.
Seventh, in a republic exists a healthy fear of the emotion of the masses and of its potential to destabilize natural law upon which real freedom is based, as for example the notion that another’s wealth belongs to them through excessive taxation. Such destroys freedom as it had in Athens and Rome. We need a caring, sensitive, compassionate government but emotion must not be allowed to overwhelm reason and time-tested natural law constants. Aristotle taught that the poor will always envy the rich and that the rich will always have contempt for the poor. A republic will not allow the poor to destroy the rich in their quest for the wealth of the rich, but does incentivize the poor to increase their wealth thus becoming the middle class, which, in time, become the largest body.
As explained, democracy does not protect liberty and in time could become its enemy. In Ben Franklin’s analogy it would have allowed the wolves to have eaten the lamb simply because the lamb had been outvoted. No wonder our Founders rejected democracy in favor of a republic, something we too are obliged to do today to protect our liberty.

Our first Congress wanted a national day of “thanksgiving and prayer, to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness.” One of the first acts of Congress, supported by both houses, required President George Washington, the Father of this nation, to select a day for this purpose.
What a statement to the world! The United States, destined in time to become the greatest power in the history of the world, began with this proclamation, pledging a partnership with the creator of the universe for the benefit of mere man. That we at one time universally recognized this relationship is profound.
Of course, this event was preceded by 168 years of an established celebration sometimes called Thanksgiving, the first being with the 53 surviving Pilgrims in 1621 sitting down with about 90 of the Wampanoag Indian nation, who already observed a fall harvest celebration festival in gratitude to God for their harvest. It was no problem uniting with the new comers from across the ocean for a shared three-day celebration, although the attending Indians nearly doubled their numbers. In time the event spread outward thereafter from Plymouth, but its date varied and was not consistent. Congress wanted it standardized by proclamation as a national day of thanksgiving and prayer to God.
In obedience to the will of the people and Congress, Washington selected Thursday the 26th of November as that day of “public thanksgiving and prayer” and established its purpose. This day he said was “to be devoted by the people of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being who is the beneficent author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be; that we may then all unite in rendering unto Him our sincere and humble thanks….”
He proceeded to specifically identify some of these blessings: “for His kind care and protection of the people of this country previous to their becoming a nation; for the original and manifold mercies and the favorable interpositions of His providence in the course and conclusion of the late war; for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty which we have since enjoyed; for the peaceable and rational manner in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national one now lately instituted; for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed, and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and, in general, for all the great and various favors which He has been pleased to confer upon us.”
Washington saw the value and strength of prayer in having a holiday of gratitude and continued, “And also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplication to the great Lord and Ruler of nations, ….” He then humbly sought forgiveness for national transgressions as well. We “beseech Him to pardon our national and other transgression; to enable us all, whether in public or private stations,.…” He, himself, humbly implored God for help in performing “our several and relative duties properly and punctually; to render our national Government a blessing to all the people by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discretely and faithfully executed and obeyed; ….”
Then he implored God “to protect and guide all sovereigns and nations (especially such as have shown kindness to us), and to bless them with good government, peace, and concord; to promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the increase of science among them and us; and generally, to grant unto all mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as He alone knows to be best.”
The Thanksgiving Proclamation ended, “Given under my hand, at the city of New York, the third day of October, A. D. 1789.” Signed George Washington
Over the years that followed there were inconsistent observances of Thanksgiving as a national holiday until Abraham Lincoln revived the event with a second proclamation defining it as a national day of “Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens,” calling on the American people to also, “with humble penitence for our national perverseness and disobedience … fervently implore the interposition of the Almighty hand to heal the wounds of the nation….” Lincoln declared it for the last Thursday in November.
This Thanksgiving spend some time and thought, individually and with your family, acknowledging the blessings from His hand this past 12 months. Why would you expect to continue receiving His blessings if you aren’t grateful for those received? Those who reduce this holiday to merely “Turkey Day” or “Football Day” undermine its true and uplifting meaning. Again, it is a day of Thanksgiving and Prayer.
On the national level let us join Washington in taking this moment to thank God for the liberties we still have, and to ask forgiveness for our departures from the core values expressed in this proclamation, and in the Constitution. Let us resolve to restore them to prominence before they are lost entirely, not by an enemy from without, but by our own ignorance, complacency and neglect from within.
And, may we once again recognize, at least for one day, the special relationship between man, this nation, and God our creator. We are the most blessed on earth and in time.

Tyrannies love censorship because it is very difficult for the people to know what is left out of the story and thus they are so much more easily conditioned and controlled. That is why inhibiting free speech is forbidden in the First Amendment of the Constitution.
Under Joe Biden the federal government has been working with different companies to censor the people, thus targeting millions of Americans for their political speech by “directly contracting with private 3rd parties that flag their viewpoints for alleged misinformation.” And we know that “consortiums were set up with many different companies” and universities to do this, in the presidential election of 2020 and now in 2022 (X22 Reports [hereafter not cited], Ep. 2889b, October 2, 2022, 17:10).
One such consortium is the powerful Election Integrity Partnership comprised of the following four private entities: (1) Stanford Internet Observatory, (2) The University of Washington, Center for an Informed Public, (3) The Atlantic Council Digital Forensic Search Lab and (4) Social Media Analysts from Graphica. They “set up a contour-like service in 2020 to allow federal agencies like Homeland Cyber Security Infrastructure Security Agency (CSISA) and State Global engagement centers to file tickets requesting the online story links in social media posts be censored or flagged by Big Tech” (Ep. 2888b, Sept. 30, 2022, 35:00). They boasted of a 35% success rate getting tech platforms to label, remove or restrict content.” One success was the tagging of the Hunter Biden’s laptop as Russian disinformation, since proved not so, which, had it not been censored, likely would have cost Biden the election.
In its 2020 election On Action Report “the consortium boasted that it flagged more than 4,800 URL, shared nearly 22 million times on Twitter alone. Their staff worked twelve 24 hour shifts from Sept-to mid-November 2020 with monitoring intensively.” It successfully shut down the truth and they intend to do the same in 2022. Kate Starbird said, “We’re getting the band back together (with several improvements) for the midterms—-working with a range of collaborators to address rumors, misinformation, and disinformation around election processes and procedures” (Ep. 2888b, Sept. 30, 2022, 37:33).
2022 Congressional candidate Robby Starbuck, claims the Election Integrity Partnership (EIP) is designed to censor Biden opponents of which he was one. They keep an “enemies list” which includes President Trump and everyone who supports him. They claim to have labeled, removed ,or restricted content of thousands.
One notable complainant, Congressional candidate Robby Starbuck, claims the Election Integrity Partnership is designed to censor Biden opponents. He says, “I was censored while I ran for Congress. Biden’s regime paid EIP groups $12 million plus! ” He continued, “The simplest way to explain how the EIP works is to compare it to the CIA and DOD who use contractors to fight battles they don’t want to be seen fighting in an official capacity…[while] acting as a Ministry of Truth.”
Robby Starbuck continues, “DHS, the State Department, the DNC, Common Cause and the NAACP would file tickets with the EIP on posts or people they wanted censored. The EIP did the dirty work of going to Big Tech,… as their messenger to demand Big Tech take action on the posts or people flagged by the United States Government or the DNC and their report shows Big Tech delivered for them.” Essentially, the “EIP created … an ‘enemies list;’ of select groups they branded as misinformation in need of censorship. I was one of them and have the distinction of being the only one who was running for Congress while the EIP worked to censor us on behalf of the government.”
The “enemies list” was titled, “Actors and Networks Repeat Superspreaders of Election Misinformation.” It Included President Trump, Charlie Kirk, Tom Fitten, Praying Medic, Eric Trump,—virtually whose who in the conservative world: (Ep. 2892b, October 5, 2022, 20:49).
George Soros is Americas leading funding agent of destabalizing causes such as Black Lives Matter and Antifa. He too has urged Big Tech to “to step up their censorship—just before the 2022 midterm elections.” Censorship is always of the right side of the spectrum.
Another notable in the tyranny of censorship is George Soros. He funds groups that also urge “the heads of major Big Tech platforms, to step up their censorship—just before the 2022 midterm elections. The Soros funded Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights spearheaded an Oct. 13, open letter signed by 11 other liberal groups clambering for Big Tech to take immediate steps to curb the spread of voting disinformation in the midterms and future elections and to help prevent the undermining of our democracy.” The letter was addressed to Facebook, Google, Twitter, YouTube, and Tic Toe. “The Soros Funded group included NAACP, Legal Defense and Education Fund, $17,614,500; Center for American Progress, $5,320,000; Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights $5,170,000; Asian Americans Advancing Justice—AAAJ, $1,260,000; Center for Democracy and Technocracy, $736,000; Unidos US $200,000; and Common Cause $25,000” (Ep. 2899b, October 14, 2022, 14:45).
Twitter too has decided to intervene in the 2022 election as they did in the 2020 election. They have announced their intention to “take action against misleading claims about the voting process, misleading content intended to intimidate or dissuade people from participating in the election, or misleading claims that may undermine public confidence in elections outcomes.” Translated anything that they object to. “The last time they decided to be the arbitrator of ‘misleading claims’ they blocked any coverage of the Hunter Biden laptop, saying it was disinformation” and punished those who shared information otherwise. Twitter seriously meddled in the 2020 election (Ep. 2848b, August 12, 2022, 8:20).
And there exists regular cheating as in Colorado who recently mailed 30,000 Voter Registration notices to non-citizens to manipulate the coming election, When confronted the Secretary of State called it an accident (EP. 2896, October 11, 2022, 44:00).
But will the Deep State cheat enough to stop the red wave. No! The good will VOTE tyranny out but to do so each need to vote and pray as though everything depends upon them!!!! It does.

An avalanche is coming down the mountain in October exposing Deep State corruption as never before. Three high profile court cases are likely to support the Patriots against the Deep State. They will respond with censorship and perhaps chaos. These follow:
The Musk vs. Twitter Trial begins October 17, each having sued the other. Twitter wants to force Elon Musk to complete the purchase of Twitter. Musk wants to know the real size of Twitter, excluding bots (fake accounts) before a sale; information refused to him by Twitter causing him to pull out of the $44 billon deal. Musk has a Twitter whistleblower, former Twitter Security Chief Peiter (Mudge) Zatko, who pledges in a breaking Time Magazine report that a Twitter Executive Endangered national security in “11 Egregious Deficiencies in privacy and security and bots (“HUGE: Former Security Chief at Twitter Alleges Company Endangered National Security Through “Egregious Deficiencies,” by Jim Hoft, Gateway Pundit, August 23, 2022).
I found a Twitter bot (fake account). Top Cybersecurity Expert says 80% may be.
Twitter is also loaded with fake accounts (bots), perhaps 80%. “Top Cybersecurity Expert Claims that more than 80 percent of Twitter accounts are probably bots” (Business Insider, IANS, Sept. 1, 2022). These should make his case. Twitter, under the spotlight because of Musk’s exposure of possible bot count fraud, is being investigated by the SEC (“Twitter is facing fresh SEC Security Over Spam Accounts Calculations” by Lydia Beyoud, Bloomberg, August 24, 2022).
This trial is likely to expose Twitter to be actually only 20% of its advertised size and value which will disturb investors and advertisers paying prices for a much larger organization than actually exists. It may also expose “bot farming,” the creation of hundreds, maybe thousands, of fake computerized messages on an issue important to the Deep State thus, in the public mind, propagandizing an issue on social media as the way the vast majority believes when, without the fake messaging, the opposite is true.
Then there are rumors that Twitter is an intelligence driven operation, not a real company, but sponsored by the CIA or other intelligence organizations to project Deep State messages. This to make people believe in something that does not exist or at least control the narrative. Certainly Twitter admits its far-left, even communist connections, which parallel the Deep State’s (See “Twitter Reveals Its “Commie-fornia” Connections,” By Harold Pease, Ph.D., LibertyUnderFire).
What we have written regarding Twitter may also be true for Facebook, Google and other social medial outlets. Expect this to be revealed soon. If so, their stocks could tumble.
Durham’s USA v. Danchenko Trial: much more will be exposed in October when Igor Danchenko is tried by Special Council John Durham when, Crossfire Hurricane (Russia Hoax), a plot with heavy FBI and DOJ participation, especially by James Comey, is unravelled. From the Sussman trial, earlier this year, we learned that Hillary Clinton paid for the Alpha Bank hoax. In this trial Danchenko, a Russian, is accused of being paid by the FBI to lie about the Steel Dossier. He was a paid FBI informant—paid to establish a fake basis for the removal of President Donald Trump. So the FBI knew its information was fake yet promoted it against Trump anyway (X22 Reports, Ep. 2876b, September 16, 2022, 6:46).
Were they all in on it? Who is next after Igor Danchenko? Special Prosecutor John Durham has all the documents and is starting from the bottom going up.
In Operation Crossfire Hurricane, the FBI and DOJ played major roles in the plot to unseat the president. Associated names with that effort will be frequently mentioned in the Danchenko Trial including: Lisa Page, Peter Strzok, Bruce and Nellie Ohr, Andrew McCabe, Sally Yates, Loretta Lynch, James Comey, Hillary Clinton, and Barrack Obama, as Durham ascends upward.
The Moore v Harper Supreme Court case, also in October, will reestablish the state legislature’s authority over federal elections. The elections clause of the US Constitution Article I, Section 4 reads: “The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof;” No other state authority not governors, not secretaries of the state, not the state supreme court is given any say in the matter.
Regarding the election of the president or vice president the Constitution continues in Article 11, Section 1, Clauses 2-3, “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 States may be entitled in the Congress…. The Electors shall meet in their respective States, and vote by Ballot…And they shall make a List of all the Persons voted for, … which List they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the Seat of the Government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate.” Again, no other state authority, not governors, not secretaries of the state, not the state supreme court is given any say in the matter.
The Constitution on voting and choosing electors is exceptionally clear. This is objected to by the Deep State because it nullifies blue state governors and/or state attorney generals who took this function from their Republican dominated state legislatures in four of the five battleground states. This means that constitutionally Donald Trump won the 2020 presidential election.
The Supreme Court is likely to decide that the legislatures alone make all the state’s election laws. The election was unconstitutional in those states that did not follow the law,—most of the battleground states. They are likely to have to decertify. This could bring Trump back into power in early 2023 (X22 Reports,Ep. 2858b, August 24, 2022, 27:00).
