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).

One organization, the FBI, stands out in any discussion of elections the last seven years from Trump’s announcement of his seeking the presidency in June 2015 to over 30 FBI raids last week on those surrounding the former president—even the “pillow guy” Mike Lindell. Everything is now turning on the FBI and Department of Justice (DOJ) and almost none of it positive.
How bad is it? “Hundreds of FBI agents say they’re ready to expose Obama and Comey,” “According to sources within the bureau; FBI agents are desperate to tell Congress about how heavily politicized the FBI has become and how senior personal at the agency attempted to prevent Trump from becoming President.” (X22 Report, hereafter not cited, Ep. 2873b, September 13, 2022, 9:53 ). But Congress, controlled by Democrats, won’t hear them.
Igor Danchenko, not pictured here, has been identified by Special Prosecutor John Durham as a paid FBI informer to establish a fake basis for preventing Donald Trump from becoming President now called the Russia Hoax. When that failed they turned their efforts to removing him from that office at all costs. Danchenko began what is called the Russian Dossier. Those pictured above are the names most associated with that plot sometimes called Operation Crossfire Hurricane, in which the FBI and DOJ played major roles, and the names most likely to be mentioned next month in the Danchenko Trial.
Much 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 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. 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 that the information was fake yet promoted it against Trump. (Ep. 2876b, September 16, 2022, 6:46).
Ironically today Charles McGonigal, the FBI’s once head of counterintelligence, formerly involved in the bogus Trump-Russia collusion probe” to get Trump has been subpoenaed by a grand jury for “records of ‘payments or gifts’” in his own investigation. He is charged “by federal prosecutors for ties to Russia and other foreign governments” (Ibid., 25:15).
The FBI had the Hunter Biden laptop for many months but refused to divulge its information because that would be bad for Biden. Even worse they sold the story to media as Russian ‘disinformation’ knowing that this was untrue (Ep. 2860b, August 29, 2022, 26:00).
We know now that the FBI and DOJ were also manipulating the election through social media. The FBI interfered in the 2020 election to help Joe Biden. Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook admitted under oath, “The FBI … came to us, or some folks on our team. It was like, ‘hey, just so you know, you should be on high alert. We thought that there was a lot of Russian propaganda in the 2015 election. We have it on notice there is about to be some kind of dump that is similar to that. So just be vigilant!’” He explained under oath that when something is potentially misinformation they wait on it for five to seven days while it is fact checked by a third party because “we don’t want to be deciding what is true and false.” Turns out the fact checker was/is the FBI (Ep. 2860b, August 29, 2022, 29:00).
In August the FBI went beyond their warrant in the Mar-A-Lago raid without clearance on the classified documents which allows Trump to eventually use the Espionage Act against them (Ep. 2862, August 30, 2022, 2:47). These agents did not have clearance to see, read or pass along the most sensitive classified documents in America.
FBI agent Timothy Thibault, Ass. Special Agent in Charge of Mar-A-Lago, was finally fired and escorted out of the bureau building. He is believed to have signed the warrant authorizing the FBI Mar-A-Lago raid. The same agent was previously in charge of reports to the bureau of voter fraud in the 2020 Presidential election. He is accused of having investigated nothing. He was also involved in the suppression from the public and media of the Hunter Biden laptop which, aided Biden and hurt Trump in the 2020 Presidential election. Also by the bureau’s Russian disinformation label placed on the laptop for Facebook and the Deep State media press. Consequently the FBI interfered with a presidential election to help Joe Biden win.
The FBI concealed Thibault’s name because “Thibault traveled to Prague with Bruce and Nellie Ohr, just as Trump was becoming the GOP nominee, to the Czech Republic in February, 2016, as part of their campaign to ‘Get Trump.’ At the time of the trip, Nellie Ohr was employed by Fusion GPS, which became well known for creating anti-Trump propaganda for use by Hillary Clinton and the Democrat National Committee” (Ep. 2862, August 30, 2022, 40:00).
Finally, the FBI is accused of keeping the retrieved stolen Ashley Biden diary out of the 2020 Presidential election presumably because in it Ashley described inappropriate showers with her father Joe. Such public awareness, if confirmed, the bureau had to have known would destroy Biden’s bid for the White House (Ep. 2860b, August 29, 2022, 3:07). They have the diary.
One constant in the 2016, 2020, and 2022 elections, from the Russian Dossier to the raid on Mar-A-Lago, is the FBI’s obsession to get rid of Donald Trump at all cost! This takes precedent even over mass shooters.
Yes, corrupt senior personal at the agency attempted to prevent Trump from becoming President in 2016, 2020 and today. FBI whistle blowers flooded the system after Trump asked them to come forward. Attorney General Garland responded, “No members of the DOJ can contact Congress.” Attorney General Merrick Garland has violated 5 USC 7211 (The Lloyd-LaFollette Act.) (Ep. 2863b, Aug. 31, 2022, 33:00). The new Congress likely will be very interested in what these agents have to say.
History has a way of coming full circle. The newly appointed Special Master, Judge Raymond Dearie who approved the FISA warrant to allow the FBI to spy on Carter Page, a private citizen, is now the judge assigned to examine the executive privilege documents confiscated at Mar-A-Lago by the FBI (Ep. 2876b, September 16, 2022, 2:36). In reading them he will know that the FBI lied to him to get the FISA courts spy authority. When he sees the evidence denied him in that request and reads the FBI lies then told him, he is not likely to be a friendly judge.

Making sense of the FBI/DOJ raid on Mar-A-Lago is only possible outside the Deep State controlled mediums who seek to use the Espionage Act to portray Donald Trump as, at a minimum sloppy, but likely even criminally dangerous, with national security secrets. This, they hope, makes him ineligible to run for president in 2024. But the trap they set for his alleged violating the Espionage Act, they may have stepped into themselves.
If these documents are really classified as top secret, why was the FBI allowed to review them and republish these and other photos of them? Forty- eight of these in the center photo, were empty.
Nothing Trump had at Mara-A-Lago was still classified. In October of 2020 he declassified everything pertaining to Russiagate and all Hillary Clinton documents (including her 33,000 deleted emails). And in December and on January 17, and 19, 2021 more large batches at the end of his administration; matters relating to the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane Investigation (X 22 Report, 2849b, Aug. 15, 2022, 42:00). These should already be out but are likely part of the 40% he declassified that is suppressed. Also he announced his declassifications on Twitter.
As president he was the only person authorized to declassify during his presidency. Forty percent of what he declassified was not made public primarily because the National Archives refused to do so. He retained some documents he had declassified as has every president preceding him as personal or executive privileged documents or copies thereof. These may or may not have had declassified stamped on them because staff may not have gotten to them before he left the White House.
Trump was never subpoenaed directly. “A federal grand jury issued a subpoena to the Records Custodian …of the Office of Donald Trump for any records ‘marked’ classified.” They did not issue a subpoena to Trump” because “they wanted to avoid Trump connecting the subpoena with 1) his personal privilege on grounds as past POTUS, 2) his 1st Amendment rights (selective prosecution concern), and 3) his 5th Amendment right not to be a witness against himself. The Records Custodian “provided the documents in the custody of the entity subpoenaed and certified under oath he had done so” (X22 Report, Ep. 2864b, Sept. 1 2022, 29:00).
Why the raid? The FBI was looking for something they did not find: Trump’s safe was cracked but found empty, Melanie Trump’s closet riffled through, and boxes of document removed. It is believed by many that Trump knew they were coming and taunted them with 48 empty folders left behind with classification markings on them, but otherwise empty (X22 Report, Ep. 2866b, Sept. 4, 2022, 37:00). The FBI was obviously unhappy.
The warrant was not specific enough to know what they were looking for. Several things are likely possibilities—perhaps all. These include: anything useful to their claim of Trump insurrection or treason from Jan. 20, 2017 to January 20, 2021, obviously a four year “fishing expedition.” Such had been the same for the January 6th, House Select Committee of hate Trump members. Others suggest that they were searching for the 40% that had not been made public primarily because of National Archive opposition; presumed to be so damaging to the Deep State. These could be reclassified by Biden as classified to bury Deep State crimes.
Another is the Deep State wants civil war to cover forever a variety of crimes now coming to light. Injustice to Trump, they plot, could get the MAGA crowd into the streets in his defense as it did into the Capitol on January 6th to help Mike Pence follow the Constitution. Certainly Joe Biden’s recent public address was viewed by most as an attack on MAGA people defining them as enemies of democracy. Trump followers are not likely to fall for this trap again.
Biden attracts an audience of less than 200 meeting in a small gym and Trump of 10,000 plus in a stadium in the same week and state. Biden argues that MAGA people are the real threat to democracy. Most Americans believe that Biden’s FBI and DOJ are, consider Mar-A-Largo.
Democrats have to know that Biden is the most unpopular president in U.S. History. Paranoia of a Trump return must be behind their censorship and criminalization of patriotism as threats to democracy. This evidenced by Biden attracting an audience of less than 200 meeting in a small gym and Trump of 10,000 and more in a stadium in the same week. There has to be a reason the Deep State is so obsessed with Donald Trump 18 months after he left office. The people are decidedly with him. Obviously the Deep State is obsessed to know his plans going forward; thus the FBI / Biden raid on his home Mar-A-Logo.
Certainly the Deep State is now staging the narrative for Trump’s indictment—classified documents in his possession. They allegedly scattered them on the floor, took photos for their Deep State media outlets of supposed classified documents, effectively republishing the secret documents. Aren’t they then violating the Espionage Act, the same thing they accuse Trump of doing, having them in their possession—reviewing them? These agents are caught. They have no high-level clearance to see this stuff (X22 Report, Ep. 2863b, August 31, 2022, 42:14).
But Mar-A-Lago benefited Trump. The Deep State made Trump a victim. Most can now see this. The RNC wrote the FBI a thank you note in response to the raid. Mar-A-Lago awakened more people to the dictatorial Biden presidency than anything.
If indicted, it allows Trump to enter as a court filling and as evidence, the 40% of the declassified documents that the Deep State refused to process after Trump’s declassification. It exposes them. Otherwise it is buried again. This includes Hillary Clinton’s hammered and bleach washed—classified—emails. She may yet go to prison. In forcing the Deep State to come after him, even breaking into his home and personal safe, he will then use this documentation in court turning the espionage case on him back on them. Even more so if FBI agents planted classified documents in his home during the raid. They, not Trump, would be guilty of violating the Espionage Act (X 22 Report, Ep 2860b, Aug 29, 2022, 45:25). Trump has the FBI and Deep State where he wants them for maximum exposure.

Again, block out their noise and think for yourself. Haven’t you figured it out yet? They read from the same share script and censor those who don’t.
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.
Senate President Vice President Mike Pence’s dilemma
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.
