Did Trump Implement Devolution and therefore Retains some Control?

By Harold Pease, Ph.D.

The nuclear age and Cold War against socialism brought about a greater need to protect the continuity of government (COG) from enemies of the Republic, foreign and domestic. The greatest threat to America for the last hundred years has been the threat of socialism (See “A Trump Return—Devolution Explained?” LibertyUnderFire). But what if America had to fight socialists on its own soil and they conquered from within by a fraudulent election? In every subdued country freedom died as did many of its’ citizens.

The military takes a solemn oath to preserve the Constitution from enemies foreign and domestic. Freedom from excessive government protected by the Constitution is the first fatality of socialist governments. In this country the military’s first responsibility is to protect the Constitution and the Republic created by it—not the immediate president or federal government. Our Republic, protected by the Constitution, and socialism are polar opposites. Socialism accepts nothing that limits its power.

In the presidential election of 2020 the United States fell to Democratic Socialism. Therefore at what point does the military under Devolution exercise their responsibility to remove the threat to the Constitution and to the Republic? President Eisenhower, when he nailed down Devolution as the appropriate response, as outlined previously, had this type of event in mind. No government entity has the authority to remove the Republic or the Constitution that created it—even if it were by “popular??” vote. Still, something that is not valued will in time be lost no matter what dead Founders and past presidents have established.

But we probably do not have to face this moment quite yet. There are two issues that may save us, election integrity and the China connection with COVID. If forensic audits prove indisputably, as they appear to be doing, that election fraud brought the wrong political party to power, that can be reversed by the Constitution. The states can and must rescind their electoral votes ASAP and those knowingly participating must be tried for treason—especially if holding high office. This too, if COVID was used intentionally to affect the election. If China electronically switched Trump votes to Biden, it is an act of war as also is their intentionally unleashing a bio weapon, a killer virus, on the United States and the world.

If the above is true “this election theft is so much more than fraud. This is war!!!” Far more “clandestine in nature. It involves cyber warfare, information warfare, electronic warfare, intelligence warfare, space warfare” and yes, probably biological warfare [Covid]. The only option at Trump’s disposal was to initiate Devolution through our military.” This is why the incoming Biden transition team complained that the Trump team would not tell them of all special covert operations—presumably one dealt with evidence of Biden stealing the election. (Devolution Part 3, Continuity of Government, Patel Patriot, July 14, 2021).

President Trump never conceded the election and if either fraud or China threw the election to Biden, he remains the president and continuity of government (COG) also remains in place. The election was instead a coup. We do not need Devolution, the military, unless Biden or Harris refuse to leave the White House, which is likely.

There exists some evidence that Trump implemented COG before leaving the White House and allowed Biden to “play house” to show America how entrenched and how tyrannical Deep State rule would be. Otherwise, half of America would never believe how deceived they had been. There is nothing the Biden Administration has touched that has not been a disaster: insane national debt, unrestrained invasion on our southern border, COVID shutdowns, mandatory masking and vaccines, escalating gas and food prices, uncontrolled inflation, their defiance of the Bill of Rights, their Afghanistan fiasco and etc. He is Americas’ absolute worst president ever. His popularity decreases in the same proportion as Trump’s rises. America is awakening.

What evidence? Whether speaking of the Wuhan China Virus as an act of war, or China’s interference in our presidential election, Trump told reporters “We went through the worst attack we’ve ever had on our country, this is [the] worst attack we’ve ever had. This is worse than Pearl Harbor, this is worse than the World Trade Center. There’s never been an attack like this. And it should have never happened. Could’ve been stopped right at the source, and it wasn’t.” These acts were followed by declarations of war on Japan and Iraq, as should be so with China also. Trump then assumed war powers and Devolution which substantially increased his powers to save the Republic. (Devolution Part 4: A Wartime President, Patel Patriot, July 17, 2021).

What evidence? He selected firm patriots to challenge what his sources revealed to be a coup election. He chose to fight two days after the Deep State media called the victory for Biden. On November 9th he promoted Christopher C. Miller to Acting Secretary of Defense. Next day Anthony Tata, a specialist in DOD continuity policy, was added. David Norquist, was already on board as budget manager for funding special operations. Then on Nov. 11, Kashyap Patel (operation planning) and Ezra Cohen-Watnik (Special Operations and Low-Intensity Conflict) were added. He was also in charge of classified information that could be released to the public as needed. These units specialized in “protecting against subversion, lawlessness, insurgency, terrorism, and other threats to their internal security, and stability, and legitimacy” (Ibid.).

So is Biden running the country? Perhaps, but I do not believe, despite his Afghanistan fiasco, he is totally running the military. They are waiting for the audits proving a coup, George Soros’s funded socialist anarchists to burn cities as a result, perhaps the Durham report documenting even more corruption, than the military will begin the arrests and trials. We will soon know.

A Trump Return—Devolution Explained?

By Harold Pease, Ph.D.

Underlining the 20th Century was the threat of socialism and almost all wars dealt with destroying it. Even within the United States it can be seen: in the anarchist bombings and Red Scare of the 1920’s; the Cold War and McCarthyism of the 1950’s; the socialist Weather Underground and anti war movements of the 1960’s and 1970’s; and finally in 2020, the fall of the United States to Democratic Socialism. A hundred years have passed under the threat of socialism.

Today the Biden Administration, with open arms, welcomes socialists from all over the world but decidedly tells those fleeing socialism in Cuba that we will send them back to Communist tyranny. Why? Because they are rejecting socialism. Socialism remains America’s greatest internal threat and, for the moment, occupies the White House.

From the 1950’s-1980’s Congress published numerous studies showing communists (all communists are socialists) in high places in our society. I gathered several hundred of these studies sharing them in the classroom. Senator Joseph McCarthy was the most vocal about those then in our government resulting in the word McCarthyism becoming the most foul word in the English language and weaponized to put down anyone suggesting the same to this day—so successful were the socialists in the media nearly seventy years ago. Most American’s then believed Nikita Khrushchev’s threat, “We will bury you!!” Today they seem to have done just that.

President Dwight D. Eisenhower

We know that President Dwight D. Eisenhower was very concerned about the Cold War as one country after another fell to socialism and millions died. To not have provided against a socialist takeover of the United States from within through a socialist victory at the polls, would have been irresponsible—it would be the death of the Constitution, freedom, and a victory for Americas most powerful and dangerous enemy. Every soldier had sworn to protect the Constitution from enemies “foreign and domestic,” and they were the ones who had sacrificed their lives opposing the socialism of Nazism (National Socialism) and stood against the socialism of Joseph Stalin, Mao ZeDong and Chu En-Lai.

The origin of Devolution is believed to have come under Eisenhower as he was the World War II general most responsible for the destruction of NAZI socialism. It is believed that he, with ranking members of Congress, came to the conclusion that the military must protect the Constitution as first responsibility—even from an elected socialist commander in chief. This obviously would have been highly classified but now could be an issue since Democratic Socialists presently occupy the White House, more especially if the election was fraudulent.

Devolution is related to presidential succession. What if all the Constitutional successors were incapacitated? This could be through nuclear or pandemic attack, a coup, domestic or foreign election interference or other means that could disrupt the continuity of government. What circumstances or point could and should the military intervene to restore the republic, the Constitution, and the rightfully elected?

When America developed a bomb that could destroy an entire city, as in Hiroshima and Nagasaki ending World War II, and the USSR followed with its first nuclear explosion in 1949 after the theft of nuclear technology from American traitors Julius and Ethel Rosenberg and Robert Oppenheimer, “continuity of government” (COG) became a critical issue. Washington D.C. was presumed to be the first target by Americas’ socialist enemies and Eisenhower knew this well. Could the continuity of government (COG) be destroyed all at once? If so, the military would have to take charge.

Ronald Reagan’s Executive Order 12656 gave clarity and expanded what constituted a national security emergency. Issued on November 18, 1988 and called Assignment of Emergency Preparedness Responsibilities, it defined a national security emergency as “any occurrence, including natural disaster, military attacks, technological emergency, or other emergency, that seriously degrades or seriously threatens the national security of the United States.”

Newsweek March 18, 2020, wrote of top secret contingency plans already in existence “for what the military is supposed to do” should uncertainty surround this issue. “According to new documents and interviews with military experts, the various plans—codenamed Octagon, Freejack and Zodiac—are the underground laws to ensure government continuity. They are so secret that under these extraordinary plans, ‘devolution’ could circumvent the normal Constitutional provisions for government succession, and military commanders could be placed in control around America.”

Devolution was again acknowledged by Barack Obama when he ordered agencies in July of 2016 “to have not just a line of succession but also one of ‘devolution,’ a duplicate chain of individuals secreted outside Washington available in a catastrophic emergency.” As inferred Devolution involves “procedures to transfer statutory authority and responsibilities” to this secondary designated staff to sustain essential functions” (Presidential Policy Directive 40).

Why is any of this important? If the Arizona forensic audit, and forensic audits to follow, show indisputably that Biden and Harris were NOT elected then no continuity of government exists. This, even more so, if Democrat leadership committed treason by colluding with China either by weaponizing the Wuhan China Virus or by electronically manipulating the vote count to throw the election to them. And, according to the ultra liberal news magazine Newsweek, “military commanders could be placed in control around America.”

EXCEPT, THERE EXISTS AN ACTUAL WINNER OF THE 2020 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION and the military, not deceived by socialism or the inflated or altered vote count, as military intelligence captured it all in real time, will remain loyal to him and the Constitution.

America Will Not Be Disarmed!

By Harold Pease, Ph.D.

At least twenty states feel threatened by Joe Biden’s efforts to disarm Americans by federal laws if possible, otherwise by executive orders (decrees), proclamations or any other executive action—all unconstitutional. The Second Amendment of the Constitution “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed” an armed populace “being necessary to the security of a free State” is foundational to freedom. Biden’s nomination of former ATF special agent David Chipman as ATF director, notably hostile to this constitutional wordage, has caused these states to line up to nullify any federal action on this freedom. America will not be disarmed!

That list is Article I, Section 8, which identifies only four areas for ANY federal authority: these being the power to: tax, borrow, provide for the general welfare and common defense. To prevent the federal government from enlarging, at their discretion, the last two are each limited by seven additional clauses. General welfare are Clauses 2-8 and nothing here gives a president any authority over a person’s weapons. Even more blatant is Amendment 2 specifically denying any authority as noted in the amendment.

Nullification of federal action is justified on the basis of three constitutional measures. 1) The executive branch has no independent law-making power. Only congress can make law. 2) Amendment 10 of the Bill of Rights denies the federal government any power not delegated (listed) in the Constitution and reads: “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”

3) The Bill of Rights was formed after the Constitution was implemented as the first changes to it. Think of these ten changes as a specific list of “thou shalt not” areas forbidden the government. These had to undergo further scrutiny. Proposals had to receive the approval of 3/4ths of the states as required by Article V. One of these forbidden areas was “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” Biden, or any other president, attempting to do so should be impeached.

No state should have to use the Doctrine of Nullification, the 10th Amendment, to block a president or a congress from doing what is already forbidden!

Some remember the 2013 Sheriff’s Rebellion where “336 elected county sheriffs signed pledges that they will not enforce any unconstitutional gun control laws or executive orders”—they would not be enforcing Barack Obama’s gun right decrees. “The Utah Sheriffs’ Association made the strongest statement aimed directly at the President. “We, like you, swore a solemn oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, and we are prepared to trade our lives for the preservation of its traditional interpretation” (“2013, Year of Resistance,” LibertyUnderFire.com, 2014). Many believe the Biden Administration is Obama’s third term as over 100 of Biden’s appointees previously served with Obama.

Others remember the 2019 Sanctuary County Rebellion when 179 counties designated themselves as Second Amendment sanctuary counties (See “Second Amendment Sanctuary Counties. ‘We will not Comply,’” 2019, LibertyUnderFire.org ). This movement has accelerated. As of June 20, 2021 there are 1,930 counties “protected by Second Amendment Sanctuary legislation at either the state or county level,” representing 61% of 3,141 counties and county equivalents in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.” (“61% of U.S. counties now ‘Second Amendment sanctuaries,’” Bethany Blankley, The Center Square Contributor, Jul 4, 2021, Olean Times Herald July 27, 2021).

Sheriff associations remain behind the counties as well. A recent Utah letter of support signed by all 29 Utah sheriffs says it all, “We hereby recognize a significant principle underlying the Second Amendment: the right to keep and bear arms is indispensable to the existence of a free people.”

Sanctuary states include: Alaska, Kansas, Idaho, Wyoming, Arizona, Nebraska and Missouri. Texas joins September 1st. (What is a ‘Second Amendment Sanctuary’ State, and what would happen if Texas became one? Chad Lyle, El Paso Times April 9, 2021). Wyoming made it clear what would happen to federal agents attempting to enforce their alterations of the amendment. It passed their “Firearm Protection Act,” which threatened federal officials with up to five years in prison and $5,000 in fines if convicted of attempting to enforce unconstitutional statutes or decrees infringing on the gun rights of Wyoming citizens (‘We will not Comply’). More states need consequences for federal agents attempting to enforce unconstitutional measures.

There remains one other point almost never mentioned. The Second Amendment gives America a two-tiered level of defense from enemies foreign and domestic which would not exist without this amendment. Should a rogue executive branch use the military to take over America they still have to deal with an armed populous. Should China or any other foreign country, or a combination of countries under the UN, destroy our military all freedom is destroyed by that defeat alone. But unlike other countries without this Amendment, we are not yet fully conquered, they must also deal potentially with every American with a gun hiding and shooting behind every tree and rock in this land—This they really fear.

The Second Amendment was never intended to be the armed forces; that was provided elsewhere. The word militia used in the Amendment was, and always will be so long as men are free, the armed citizen. Tyrants will always fear the armed citizen and work to remove weapons from their intended subjects.

Despite Censorship, What Most Americans Believe About Trump

By Harold Pease, Ph. D.

Despite a controlled narrative by almost all corporate media, big tech, and the deep state, sometimes called the “secret combinations,” most Americans see Trump as a good but victimized president and have not accepted the echo-like messages blaring otherwise from their television screens many view as propaganda. Perhaps no one analyzes the Trump years better than Darryl Cooper of MartyrMade@ MartyrMade. We summarize his Twitter comments of July 8, 2021.

Cooper analyzed how and why the Trump following became such a powerful force in America and is still growing. Remember no president attracted such large crowds. He notes indisputable facts that fed his popularity that would have died long ago were they not true. “The FBI spied on the 2016 campaign using evidence manufactured by [the] Clinton campaign. We now know that all involved knew it was fake from day one. See Brennan’s July 2016. memo…. The intel community spying on [a] presidential campaign using fake evidence, including forged documents is a big deal to them.”

Everyone “lied about their involvement as long as they could,” Comey in particular. “We only learn the DNC paid for the manufactured evidence because of the court order….This was true with everyone from CIA Director Brennan and Adam Schiff…all the way down the line. In the end, we learned that it was all fake…. We know as a fact: a) the Steel dossier was the sole evidence used to justify spying on Trump campaign, b) the FBI knew the Steele dossier was a DNC op. c) Steele’s source told the FBI the info was unserious, d) they did not inform the court of any of this and kept spying.”

Trump supporters closely followed the collusion case. “They went from worrying the collusion must be real to suspecting it might be fake to realizing it was a scam, then watched as every institution agency: the press, Congress, academia gaslit them for another year….The DOJ, press, and government destroyed lives and actively subverted an elected admin.” They all “stepped out of the shadows to unite against an interloper,”—Trump.

“A LOT of Trump supporters see the regime is not partisan. They all know that the same institutions would have taken opposite sides if it was a Tulsi Gabbard versus Jeb Bush election. How shocking and disillusioning this was for people who encourage their sons to enlist in the Army and hate people who don’t stand for the anthem.

“They could have managed the shock if it only involved the government. But the behavior of the corporate press is really what radicalize them. They hate journalists more than they hate any politician or government official because they feel most betrayed by them…. The corporate press is the propaganda arm of the Regime [Democrat Party], they now see in outline. Nothing anyone says will ever make them unsee that, period. People are awake.

“This is profoundly disorienting. Many of them don’t know for certain whether ballots were faked in November 2020, but they know for absolute certain that the press, the FBI, etc. would lie to them if there was.…They watch the press behave like animals for four years:” Trump supporters “still thought the press would admit to truth if they were cornered. Now they don’t. It’s a different thing to watch them invent stories, whole cloth, in order to destroy regular lives and spark mass violence.…

“Throughout the summer, Democratic governors took advantage of COVID to change the voting procedures…to help Biden to make up for a massive enthusiasm gap by gaming the mail-in ballots system. They knew it was unconstitutional… but they knew the cases wouldn’t see court until after the election, and what judge will toss millions of ballots because a governor broke the rules. The threat of mass riots wasn’t implied. It was direct.

“After the collusion scam, the fake impeachment, Trump people expected shenanigans …. We now know the Trump request for Ukraine to cooperate with the DOJ regarding Biden’s dollar activities in Ukraine was in support of an active investigation being pursued by the FBI and Ukraine AG at the time, and so [a] completely legitimate request.

“Then you get the Hunter Laptop Scandal, big tech ran a full on censorship campaign against the major newspaper to protect a political candidate, period. Everyone knows it….But you know, the elections over, so who cares?” If the lurid photo’s and emails documenting corruption were found on Don Jr. laptop, rather than Hunter’s, the media would have been all over it.

Now Americans “see correctly that every institution is captured by people who will use any means to exclude them from [the] political process. And yet, they showed up in record numbers to vote. He got 13 million more votes than in 2016, 10 million more than Clinton got.

“And as election night dragged on, they allow themselves some hope. But when the four critical swing states and only those states, went dark at midnight, they knew…. Everything about the election was strange. The changes to procedures, unprecedented mail-in voting, the delays etc. Rather than admit that and make everything transparent, they banned discussion of it… If everything about the election dispute was the same, except the parties were reversed, suspicions about the outcome would have been taken very seriously.

Darryl Cooper documents that “the entrenched bureaucracy and security state subverted Trump from day one. The press is part of the operation. Election rules were changed, big tech censors opposition, political violence is legitimized and encouraged. Trump is banned from social media”( Ep. 2524b-Facts Are Coming Out At A Level Which Can Be Called, Fast & Furious, X22 Report, July 11, 2021). Trump supporters, and now the majority of Americans, are absolutely right, the Biden and Harris observed no limits to obtaining power. They stole the election fair and square.

Expect More Election Audits: States Finally Following the Constitution

Expect More Election Audits: States Finally Following the Constitution

Harold Pease, Ph.D.

It is a year late but states are finally taking back their constitutional responsibility for their own elections. Democratic state secretaries and/or governors arbitrarily changed existing state law during COVID to influence the 2020 election in battleground states to favor their Democratic candidates.

As all know, outside censored media, in Arizona the State Senate is deep in a forensic audit of Maricopa County’s November 3, 2020 election. Currently, the audit is looking at presidential and Senate races, but it could be expanded to other race results later this summer. The main release is targeted for August.

Pennsylvania, Democrat election officials are panicking because of “the scale of known Philadelphia ballot fraud.” Acting Secretary of State, Democrat Veronica Degraphenred issued a “statewide directive seeking to block any Pennsylvania legislative attempt to audit the 2020 election results.” But the U.S.Constitution clearly leaves all the law making regarding elections with the state legislature alone (see Article 1, Section 4) and the Pennsylvania Senate just began an election audit of three counties: Tioga, York, and Philadelphia.

Wisconsin does not yet have an audit but the State Senate “has commissioned an investigation of the election, hiring three retired law enforcement officers to look into thousands of complaints and tips received since November.”

In Michigan Matt DePerno is uncovering election fraud through a lawsuit filed in Antrim County. Lawsuits force discovery opening volumes of suppressed information which can be used elsewhere as well. Unfortunately most state officials are still fighting calls for an audit but that breaks down as more and more evidence surfaces.

In the state of Washington Representative Robert Sutherland is scheduling public hearings to gather evidence of election irregularities.

In New Hampshire, the town of Windham conducted an audit but there has been no interest by state officials in authorizing a larger one (Ep. 2524-Facts Are Coming Out at a Level which can be called Fast and Furious. Let’s See what Happens, X22 Reports, July 11, 2021, Praying Medic).

In Georgia Anti-Trump Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger, “is making public a list of nearly 102,000 voters who will be removed from the voting rolls unless they act to preserve their registration.” These he suspects of having died or moved from the state, 67,000 of whom had “submitted a change of address form to the U.S. Postal Service, and about 34,000 voters who had election mail returned” (Georgia officials seek to remove 102,000 voters from rolls, by Jeff Amy, Atlanta, June 18, 2021). Certainly several thousand of such had died or moved before the 2020 Presidential election. If these are found to have still voted, though dead or moved long before the election, the state may have to have an audit, more so if these voted for Biden in large enough numbers to have given him the election. Many wonder why the cleansing of the voter rolls was not implemented before the election. Private citizens have filed lawsuits in several counties that are working to uncover enough fraud to compel state officials to authorize an audit. Once again, suits allow discovery of previously suppressed data.

Last March Georgia passed the Election Integrity Act of 2021 closing the door of what supporters believed was much of the fraud it spotted in the 2020 Presidential Election. The 98-page law tightened the rules on early voting, absentee voting, limited the number of and places of drop boxes, shortened runoff times and required voter ID for voting, among other things. That this new law came about so soon after the election just passed, demonstrates that a majority of the legislators felt that the election had been fraudulent. To a lesser degree several other states have done the same.

So, despite the Left’s long-standing attempt to censor, then discredit, any probe into the 2020 presidential election there’s much interest in the Arizona audit with at least 14 states viewing it very carefully waiting for the results. If they produce the evidence other state audits will follow. (Ep. 2524-Facts Are Coming Out at a Level which can be called Fast and Furious. Let’s See what Happens, X22 Reports, July 11, 2021). The Left will DO ANYTHING to suppress this information including one or more “red flags” (an event to upstage this news for other news) or media blackouts;—this to maintain their hold on the uninformed.

How certain are proponents that audits will prove massive election treason? Dr. Douglas G. Frank, a statistician of some renown, focusing upon the impossibilities of so many of the mathematical anomalies surrounding the 2020 Presidential Election wrote, of three indisputable facts. First, “We already have ample evidence of algorithms operational in dozens of states, based upon … different mathematical approaches.” Each shows, “There is a dead body on the floor, a murder has been committed.”

Second, “We have piles of forensic evidence which reveal the means by which the manipulations took place. We have the murder weapon and the fingerprints.”

And third, “Now, we are processing video tapes (PCAPs) of the manipulation taking place during November…and also in subsequent elections.” Why? “We are going to show the tapes in public, because the courts won’t take the murder case, and too much of the public hasn’t even seen the dead body on the floor yet. We are going to play the movies for everyone.”

Obvious conclusion, expect more election audits.

The Impending Crisis: The Censored Truth

By Harold Pease, Ph.D.

A strange eerie silence stalks the land somewhat similar to that after Abraham Lincoln was elected president. The nation had already divided choosing sides. Everyone knew that electing Lincoln would be too much for the South and an impending crisis would break any time. It was on everyones’ mind just below the surface and no one wanted to admit that it existed, but it did.

Senator John J. Crittenden had two sons each a general on each side of the Mason Dixon Line who stood on opposite sides. They would be fighting each other. In Congress he offered the Crittenden Compromise dividing the nation on that line and extending it west with slavery permitted south and prohibited north. No one cared.

Northern newspapers censored the southern view and the South the northern view. Only in the middle states, where a military conflict was most likely to occur, could the people get some semblance of both sides. The nation held its breath but still Fort Sumter came and thereafter 620,000 soldiers lost their lives.

Today, 161 years later, the major difference is that there exists no geographical line. Its rural vs. urban, neighbor vs. neighbor and family members vs. family members. Now the division line is socialism vs. freedom, globalism vs. patriotism. The censorship of the patriot side by the globalist controlled media is almost total—still everyone feels it. One side hates our flag, our anthem, our Constitution, our history, our national heroes, our police and seemingly our country itself, anxious to destroy it all. They also call everyone but themselves racist but are themselves the first to use race to define and divide others.

How do we defuse our impending crisis so that we too do not reach a point of no return as they? Truth Hammer of We the Media has the only real answer. In an email addressed to “Any honest people left…on the political left,” he asks.

“As you know we are severely divided…. To avoid actual war we MUST have free and fair elections… and 1/2 of America really does believe the other half is now rigging elections. Take a moment to allow this to sink in.

“We really do believe YOUR chosen leaders colluded with the mainstream media Big Tech Censorship and rigged the election.

“If you really understand this, you’ll be feeling some chills about now. How do you want to resolve this “powder keg” moment in American (and world) history?

“Will future generations look back with gladness that we found a civil way to work together? Or will this generation end up as a cautionary tale of how not to let political division progress to the point of no return?

“YOU have the power to play a role in the solution. If you are confident the election was not rigged, then you should be EAGER to prove that, no matter how many audits are needed because audits are cheap compared to the actual conflict that might emerge. If half the country comes to believe it has been backed into a corner by the other side with no way out.

“FACT. We’ve seen case after case dismissed by controversial decisions of technicalities or courts that straight up refused to take a case. Not one swing state case has been cited on the merits.

“You have weaponized our records against us and are blocking every effort to open up the election and even look on how it went down.

“Look forward, where do you think your present course of action leads? HINT the answer is right in the Marxist playbook, your leaders often quote from (We the Media, Ep. 2467b – Soon They Won’t Be Able To Walk Down The Street, Election Fraud Panic Intensifies, X22 Report, May 2, 2021).

But unfortunately the globalists oppose the ongoing Arizona audit and any other examination of the election of 2020 with passion and their media networks censor any info regarding such. Why? An old adage comes to mind, “Thou protests too much.” Only those who know they cheated and that the outcome would show such, would protest with such vehemence.

If you know that you won honestly the normal response would be. “Please do it. Here are all our records. Examine our voting machines. Take all the time you need.” “Let this issue be resolved forever.” The Left have everything to gain by the audits. If vindicated their accusers would look like fools. Their media would have a field day with election fodder for years.

This is why you don’t support audits. Over a thousand witnesses with sworn affidavits, under penalty of perjury, testifying they witnessed you cheat.

In August the Arizona audit will be released showing you cheated. Arizona will rescind its previous vote for Joe Biden. Other swing states will follow with audits of their own showing the same with their rescinding also. You will have to give the election back to its rightful winner. The vast majority of Americans will support this action not only because they respect free and fair elections and law and order but because they love our flag, our anthem, our Constitution, our history, our national heroes, and our police.

This is the only way to prevent a new civil war. Let us support the audit together. You can’t censor away the eerie feeling of an impending crisis without it.
