To understand the chaos on 2020 election night it is critical to revisit that of 2016. But first, all went smoothly until about 11:00 P.M. EST, Joe Biden being ahead most of the time. Suddenly eight states Florida, Texas, Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and Nevada no longer reported their vote count—all with Donald Trump significantly leading in most.
Florida signaled that something was wrong when for over an hour viewers wondered why it had not been called for Trump when the uncounted vote coming from the panhandle was mostly Trump supporters. His lead could only go up. Texas had a similar story. These two, with push from their Republican governors, were finally reported as Trump wins. These Electoral College numbers 29 and 38 shot Trump up significantly although he still remained behind Biden. Since Trump was ahead in the other six states, all led by Democrat governors, and Democrats had exhausted their reliable remaining Democrat territory excepting New Mexico, the way forward looked to benefit only Trump. Thus Republicans believe the unprecedented and in unison counting halt prevented Trump from getting the 270 necessary to win—even without Pennsylvania previously said to be essential. Who protects the uncounted votes, during the interim, from being tampered with or replaced?
So let’s review the 2016 election to get a perspective on 2020 as both involve Donald Trump. Something happened in 2016 unlike anything in American political history. Seemingly the very bowels of Hell opened and out came every viper. No presidential candidate: Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Herbert Hoover or even Barry Goldwater, who had difficult campaigns, could measure up to what the vipers, from both parties, gave and are giving Donald Trump.
Not since Barry Goldwater in 1964, who last threatened the globalists monopoly on national or international power, have I seen the establishment turn on one man with such unity and vehemence, as it has Donald Trump.
It’s a full court press consisting of all Democrats, the Republican establishment, including past Republican presidents George Herbert Walker Bush and son George W. Bush, who voted for Democrat presidential contender Hillary Clinton, the “Never Trumpers,” the establishment media as noted, and every globalist in the land. Also on board was the establishment press (all networks except Fox), Hollywood moguls such as Steven Spielberg, and the billionaire club notably: David Rockefeller before his death, George Soros, Warren Buffett, Michael Bloomberg, Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg. They all benefit by the billions of dollars from this alliance, and it’s in all their interests to protect one another and destroy anyone who threatens this money and power flow, thus their warfare on Trump.
Trump had miraculously survived 16 Republican contenders including Jeb Bush by funding his own primary campaign so he could not be purchased or threatened. He had not run for or held any political office. No one else could have withstood these odds. He owed no one but God for his political views. Wall Street’s globalist special interest group, The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) had no control over him. If there exists a miracle in politics it is Trump.
Why such opposition from the right also? Because no matter who was president a Clinton, two Bush’s and an Obama, the globalist agenda remained. Republicans kept electing more Republicans to end this influence but nothing ever changed. They had a long list of things that should have been corrected as Republicans retook, first the House of Representatives and then the U.S. Senate, but weren’t. The Republican base felt betrayed and establishment politicians, justly blamed, became toxic to voters. That is why Jeb Bush, John Kasich, Chris Christie and even Mike Huckabee were not able to get traction despite vast spending.
The globalists lost control of the Republican Party because Trump is the only president that could not be purchased, controlled, or at least managed. At no time in U.S. History was globalist 100 year rule challenged more than by Trump, so maintaining power meant electing Democrats. The difference between the 2016 presidential election and those before is that the media no longer veiled their open support of the Democratic Party; they, and the globalists, became the Democratic Party. It must be noted that 55 of 57 of the nation’s largest newspapers endorsed Hillary; only two endorsed Trump. The Gods of paper news, the Washington Post and the New York Times, and perhaps a hundred other papers who consistently reprint their editorials, became Hillary outlets as had the Gods of the antenna: ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, and CNN. In one echo chamber they portrayed him to be first not a real conservative, then a fascist, then incompetent, then corrupt. Even before seated in the oval office the Obama administration spied on him at Trump Tower in New York City as he formed his government. They contrived the Russian Collusion, a coup d’état, including the 3-year Mueller Investigation which exonerated Trump. Other efforts to remove him followed including the use of Amendment 25, the Ukrainian Hoax, then followed by actual impeachment 11 months ago, to name a few. Indeed at no time in his first term was there not an issue to remove him. Again, no president has faced more efforts by these combined forces to force him from office.
Remember the globalist will do ANYTHING to remove Trump from office or, in 2020, keep him from being reelected. Their media and Democrat Party have spent four years proving this and the sudden unprecedented and in unison ballot count stop in the middle of the night on November 3, only benefiting Biden, is probably just another one of these. Remember, given his unprecedented crowd sizes, this is by far the most popular president in American History.

We are coming to the end of an election year where the “hunger games,” having gone on every four years for well over a century since William McKinley, is finalizing. The “game” part of the process is how it is done by the mega rich through their super packs and media outlets causing the people to believe that they actually choose their president. This, at least until 2016 when America rejected their anointed candidates.
For years I told my students that the quickest way to understand our political system is to watch the movie “The Hunger Games.” The strategy is to herd all voters into their two camps called Republicans and Democrats excluding all other political parties, where there exist few real differences on foreign policy and where the super rich have agreement. Since they own all major media outlets, information for or against those they allowed elevated is managed.
The few astute enough to figure this out and learn of other choices are easily brought back into the fold by the siren call that they are throwing away their vote if going outside the “ordained” two parties. Those disaffiliated with both establishment political parties, about 40 percent, called independents, are returned to the fold at election time still forced to choose from the existing approved candidates. And thus only candidate names change every four years.
I suppose that as a political scientist by profession, this is more easily understood to me. I write the Federal Elections Commission every Fall of every election year to find out who is running for president, which I have done since the early 1990’s. Never has the list of serious candidates for president been less than 200 and never has the list of serious political parties, most offering a presidential candidate, been less than 20.
So who are the excluded (deplatformed) candidates on the ballot in 2020. “As of September 21, 2020, 1,202 candidates have filed with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) to run for president” (https://ballotpedia.org/List_of_registered_2020_presidential_candidates. This site lists candidate names and party affiliation).
The Federal Elections Commission requires that anyone running for president that spends or collects $5,000 or more on his/her candidacy for president file with them. Obviously the number of presidential candidates and political parties has escalated far beyond that in the past. I went through the list and found forty political parties, doubling the number of political parties previously.
We used to assess the seriousness of a candidate by the $5,000 expenditure and how many states allowed his/her candidacy in their state. States decide who qualifies for their ballots and who do not. Since the Federal Election Commission has not yet published by state this information, as is common in past elections, it is difficult to know this number, but we can assume, as in past presidential elections, that it exceeds 20 political parties most offering a presidential candidate.
The Federal Election Commission has six commissioners but it requires four votes to accomplish anything thus many important votes end tied at 3-3. The president can only appoint three from his own political party so, in the most partisan time in American History since 1861, Democrat members have resigned and since August 31, 2019 the FEC has not had a quorum to function (Wikipedia, the Federal Election Commission).
So what other political parties offer choices for president on the ballot this year, absent the FEC state list and given the traditional non-coverage by the establishment media? They follow:The two strongest are the Libertarian Party with (Jo Jorgensen) and Green Party, with Howie Hawkins. Others that commonly provide a presidential candidates include: American Independent Party, Independent American Party, Constitution Party, Reform Party, Socialist Party, Peace and Freedom Party, and the Socialist Workers Party. For most of the last century the Communist Party U.S.A nominated Gus Hall but that stopped when they concluded that more gains were coming through the Democratic Party than they could achieve under their party label.
The Libertarian Party has offered a presidential candidate and convention in every election for decades and normally is on the ballot in every state of the union, but are never invited to the “big debates.” The same could be said of the Green Party and a few others. Certainly they feel excluded. One may argue, “but they do not have enough voter strength to warrant inclusion,” but in fact, they do not have sufficient voter strength because the establishment media does not cover them. Liberty Under Fire argues for debate inclusion for any candidate on the ballot of forty or more states.
In political science we learn that the first election is the medias. They vote first by their collective exclusion of those not registered as Democrat or Republican. The people get to choose from those the media have not excluded. The wisest, most experienced, most gifted and most honest person in America could not be president of the United States unless he/she were a Democrat or Republican.
Media corporate owners have required media collusion and, as we have said in other columns, they are overwhelmingly also globalist and Council on Foreign Relations members. In 2016 Trump survived this media filter by running as a Republican, and vaulted over the establishment by funding his own primary campaign enabling him to say things as he saw them and win over Americans who have also felt something amiss in Washington DC. That is why they hate him. He threatens their continued power.

An amazing event happened September 8, 2020 in a Donald Trump campaign rally in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The huge crowd broke into spontaneous “We love you” chants for the president. He was noticeably affected.
It happened again two days later in Freeland, Michigan, Sept. 10. Ten chants in a row broke out 30 minuets into the speech after his comments about helping stop the violence in Minneapolis and his threat to use federal agents in Seattle if violence did not stop there. He thanked the crowd after the first two chants but they would not stop until after another eight—“We love you. We love you. We love you. We love you. We love you. We love you. We love you. We love you.” He interrupted, “Don’t say that, I’ll start to cry [pause] and that wouldn’t be good for my image. You don’t want to see me cry. I’ll start to cry.” This tender moment was followed by another five “We love you” chants before he was permitted to continue.
Why is this a big story, two reasons? First, because I do not recall any politician getting that chant in the history of this country. Not even George Washington, Andrew Jackson, or Franklin Delano Roosevelt, presidents said to be among the most popular. Second, in almost five years, I have yet to hear one favorable comment from Democrat news outlets. Because of this I am certain half of America, so influenced by the constant “hate Trump” spew, will never know that they lived through the administration of perhaps America’s most popular president. No public office holder has drawn the crowd sizes he consistently gets.
Remember this is the same presidential candidate who just four years ago was “piled on” seemingly by everyone: the establishment media, establishment Democrats, establishment Republicans, establishment bankers and corporations. Added to this was the globalist establishment special interest groups the Council on Foreign Relations and the Bilderbergers. No president has endured more opposition than he—perhaps all put together. Imagine thousands now chanting “We love you” in unison to a politician in appreciation. This has never happened.
So why is he so popular with the American people? I’ll not dwell on the greatest economy in over a century, the highest employment rate for Africans, Hispanics, Asians, women and youth in my lifetime. The lowest taxes for the middle class in decades. These are not even disputed by the left in the 2020 election.
He is loved because he took on the globalists who were turning this country into the military arm of what they call the New World Order. He started no new wars, ended nation building in foreign lands, and is pulling out of the no-win wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria. Our soldiers will no longer dye in foreign lands for globalist causes.
Veterans love him because he treated them with dignity. He signed the VA Choice Act and VA Accountability Act, expanded VA health services, walk-in-clinics, and same-day urgent primary and mental health care.
Until the Chinese Wuhan Virus he lifted nearly 4 million Americans off food stamps. Against the advice of his opponents he shut down immigration from China early in the virus. He teamed with the CDC with daily reports and projected confidence by not overreacting to the virus by a nation-wide shut-down of the economy. He is viewed as most likely to restore his previous booming economy.
He gave America energy independence by encouraging fracking, opening ANWR and approving the Keystone XL and Dakota Access Pipelines. These blocked by his predecessor.
Border law enforcement agents love him because he is finally building a wall to stop illegal immigration that undermines the salaries of the American worker. It also slows drug trafficking that is killing Americans and greatly restricts the activities of drug gangs like MS-13 and other criminals. Trump has done more than any other president to stop wide spread sex trafficking, especially with underaged girls.
Those who value the Constitution love him because he protects it as written, with two appointments to the Supreme Court and 214 Article III judge confirmations. He is viewed as most likely to hold to the restraints of the Constitution, especially the 2nd Amendment and 1st Amendment rights of free speech, assembly, and religion. Also he is most likely to do away with the double standard in justice including the probability of treason in high places.
Most Christians love him because, more than any predecessor for a lifetime, he values and protects religion. He is the most “Right to Life” president in American history. Stopping the annual killing of hundreds of thousands of America’s unborn babies is widely supported by Christians.
Americans love him because he is perceived as being the most likely to stop the spread of socialism in the United States now fully embraced by the Democrat Party. Historically it has brought only universal poverty and misery.
Americans love him because he is most likely to deal with anarchists in our cities and arsonists in our forests. Most view these as insurrectionist attempting to remove their president and destroy the greatest most prosperous, for those willing to work, nation on earth. Safety is a human right.
But mostly he is loved because they trust him and believe that he really cares about them. He is the only second term president in decades that can run on “Promises Made, Promises Kept.”

Some have believed our “protests” resulting in burning cities are spontaneous, recent data shows them instead planned and coordinated. Two new ones are directed for September.
The message sent out by the Canadian far-left group Adbusters as “Tactical Briefing #1” calling all Americans to rise up and take the presidency from Trump, lays out two important preplanned pre-election events and dates. The first is happening now. “Stay in the streets in August [and] Build for UNITED NATIONWIDE MASS PROTEST Saturday, September 5 [and] DEMAND TRUMP PENCE OUT NOW!” The second, called the “White House Siege” follows, beginning on Constitution Day September 17, 2020 when “tens of thousands of our fellow citizens lay siege to the White House” for fifty days ending election day November 3 (The White House Siege, LibertyUnderFire.com).
We hope neither event happens. That we have made known their plans beforehand does not mean that they may not change them but such is unlikely as all Big Tech platforms Google, Facebook, YouTube and Twitter have advertised these events.
What should concern constitutionalist, other than the conspiratorial aspects of what has all the color of another coup to oust an elected president, is that the second event, the White House Siege, hence forth obliterates Constitution Day previously honored for decades by Americans. This was the day ending the Constitutional Convention, having created and voted affirmably for the most restrictive government constitution in world history,—the most important event and perhaps date in U.S. History.
The Adbusters flyers do not address this issue only that September 17 was chosen because it is the 10th anniversary of Occupy Wall Street at NYC’s Zuccotti Park which they planned and executed. This revered and celebrated day will be effectively replaced by the biggest event in U.S. History to remove a seated president and if not removed before November 3 to tamper with the outcome of the election.
Given the damage that they did with that event, we must take their new threat as an escalation of disruption and very serious. How a Canadian far-left group Adbusters, a foreign entity, can get away with two attempts to influence U.S. domestic policy, one under President Barack Obama, the other under Donald Trump, without some penalty to Canada was not explained then or now.
One might observe that the White House was already attacked last May, St John’s church set afire, and Lafayette Park then occupied. That is true the group that led that charge was Refuse Fascism, an organization said to be “an agitating tentacle of the Democratic Party” (Siege of the White House Starts On September 17, YouTube). Trump drove them out of the area and had a photo opt thereafter with him holding a raised Bible in front of the desecrated church.
Do you think these protests are spontaneous!?! Andy Zee of NOFASCISTUSA put that idea to rest when he said, “Think about what it is going to cost to conduct occupy type protests all across the county and especially in Washington DC.” Then added, “Let the people who are anguishing right now about a Trump / Pence administration. Let all those who are seething with anger and rage who are starting to organize and think about life under a fascist regime know that they are not alone and there actually is a plan, a way to stop this” (Ibid).
So who funds the cost of this revolution? The flyers do not say but the above cited YouTube video identifies the Alliance for Global Justice as “an organizer and fiscal sponsor for Refuse Fascism which is in turn funded by George Soros through the Tides Foundation,” which with Adbusters is conducting the White House Siege.
This should not surprise us as George Soros at a Davos, Switzerland, World Economic Forum in 2018 with other New World Order revolutionaries said, “Clearly I consider the Trump Administration a danger to the world that will disappear in 2020” (“Donald Trump and the Davos Connection,” From the Editors Desk, World Economic Forum, Annual Meeting January 21-24, 2020, Davos-Klosters, Remnant TV by Michael J Matt).
The ploy of the revolutionaries is to define Trump as a fascist. “Just as the German people could not have stopped their genocidal fascist program without driving out Hitler and the Nazi regime, we must act with all our resolve to drive this regime—a 21st century fascist regime led by a demented bully with his finger on the nuclear trigger—out of power” (video “Siege of the White House,” YouTube). But to intelligent Americans Trump shows no signs similar to the Nazi regime. Anarchists burning cities, beating those who disagree, and accosting police seems far more akin to this description. In fact, the Refuse Fascism sign is the same as that of fascism in Germany, the raised extended arm and open hand.
America was not ready for the kind of revolution the left envisioned in 2010, nor strong enough last May in front of the White House, but it must be perceived as close for the Canadian group to call all hate-Trumpers from all parts of the nation to rise in unison with instructions to, “Stay in the streets in August [and] Build for UNITED NATIONWIDE MASS PROTEST Saturday, September 5 [and] DEMAND TRUMP PENCE OUT NOW!,” this to follow 12 days later when all gather in DC for the White House Siege lasting 50 days. Their flyer says, “Are you ready for revolution? We are too.”

A Vancouver, British Columbia group calling themselves the Adbusters recently placed an ad in social media calling upon “tens of thousands of our fellow citizens [to] lay siege to the White House” on September 17, 2020 (The White House Siege—Tactical Briefing #1). The siege is slated to last fifty days ending election day November 3rd.
The flyer begins “All right, all you activists” and specifically names #MeToo, #BLM, #ExtinctionRebellion and invites all anti-Trump protestors. “We want to…spark a revolution with you.” “Are you ready for revolution? We are too.” “We will lay siege to the White House. And we will sustain it for exactly fifty days.”
Their literature advocates the overthrow of the president of the United States—even a coup d’erat. Five years ago it easily would have been called treason but in the “hate Trump era” fed to us nightly by almost all major media outlets and Big Tech, which censors anything good about the man or conservatism, this is the new normal at least until a Democrat is returned to the White House. In a photograph attributed to this movement the left third of the White House is pictured with smoke and flames ascending into the sky. Through the windows one can see flames enveloping the center of the building. All Big Tech outlets from which this information is taken, Google, Facebook, YouTube and Twitter are conjoined in promoting the September 17 event. All allow its advertisements on their platforms. Their literature uses the words non-violent but they have yet to condemn the violence in Minneapolis, Seattle, Portland or anywhere else, calling these peaceful protests, while they censor doctors advocating saving lives with hydroxychloroquine.
“All right, all you activists,” their flyer calls them, a much nicer name than anarchists, revolutionists, or even traitors. After all, the election is just days away. These obviously are Biden supporters. Why not go door to door campaigning for him as in the past, unless you are afraid that most of the “smelly Walmart people” actually like Trump?
Anarchists are instead instructed to “Stay in the streets in August [and] Build for UNITED NATIONWIDE MASS PROTEST Saturday, September 5 [and] DEMAND TRUMP PENCE OUT NOW!” Another flyer shows a drawing of hundreds gathered in front of the White House with their fists raised and clenched in anger, “We will lay siege to the White House. And we will sustain it for exactly fifty days. This is the #WhiteHouseSiege.”Why until Nov. 3, because it is the end date to bring Joe Biden to power and this is what the anarchy is all about.
Continuing “It’s time … for dramatic, decisive action. Which is why, on September 17th, …we and tens of thousands of our fellow citizens will stream into Lafayette Square, in Washington. D.C.” We “will electrify the U.S. election season — and it doesn’t stop there. Drawing wind from #MeToo, #BLM, [and] #ExtinctionRebellion,” and other protest hate Trump groups.
And then their real intent is identified, “We’ll inspire a global movement of systemic change — a Global Spring — a cultural heave towards a new world order.” New World Order is, and always has been, code for world government. Their literature describes what siege means, “You dig in, hold your ground, and the tension accumulates, amplifies, goes global.” This is the real reason Trump is despised. He opposes world government which results in the loss of American independence.
Then the coup conspirators threaten the president. They argue President Trump will not leave the White House voluntarily should he lose the election thus, with the people already assembled, they will “drag Trump from the White House when he loses.” Some elections, as in Gore/Bush were close and not resolved for weeks, and this one only by the Supreme Court. Would the media created mob act prematurely? Of course, they already plan to. Their flyer says so. “We will not let Donald Trump steal the election!” Such an outcome is predictable. The revolutionist and their media outlets are setting the nation up for a second Civil War if this election is too close to call right away.
This pre-election seizure of the White House is a threat to all Americans. We believe that it is designed to bait President Trump into aggressive action that is likely to result in injury or death to someone which would be used to propagandized for escalation. Antifa is not above doing something like this. Bloodshed could then lead to another Civil War.
Since the District of Columbia is constitutionally federal property thus federally managed, Trump could surround the White House with a second fence as with St John’s Church. We recommend closure of the White House and Lafayette Square to the public until after the results of the election are confirmed. Also extend endangered parameters to up to a half mile and enforce no camping in public. If the mob defies the closure, with drones or other emitters, spray the park as needed with skunk juice as the Israelis do to defer intruders on the Gaza Strip. Unwanted guests leave immediately as they cannot stand their smell and do not return for up to six weeks because the smell remains. Consider spraying a week before revolutionists arrive.
Otherwise Madonna’s comment comes to mind, “Yes, I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House” (Women’s March Jan. 21, 2017). If this comes off as their photo graphically portrays, she and the revolutionaries may get their wish.

“If you have nothing to hide. You have nothing to fear!” This is the message governments have told their people from time immemorial, especially tyrants of socialist countries: Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mao Ze Dong and Pol Pot. All designed to paralyze freedom buffs of every nation.
Today Communist China watches her people more than any other country on earth reportedly from high tech surveillance technology often obtained in part from Google. Cameras are everywhere recording everything that happens in many big cities, as for example the city of Guiyang, which boast that they can find anyone in seven minutes in their vast population of 3.4 million residents ((YouTube video “In Your Face: China’s All-Seeing State”). If you fear big government, such surveillance, thus far less implemented in America, but coming, will terrify you.
This video begins with a camera in the sky scanning Guiyang, China. The script embedded in the scan says: “China is building the world’s largest and most sophisticated camera surveillance system.” The camera zooms to a central control building.
In the city of Guiyang, the police demonstrate how their surveillance works. Now inside police headquarters, a camera scans a giant room seating many people surrounded by intelligence gathering technology. The targeted individual’s data is displayed on the walls in front.
Their vast digital catalogue contains the image of every Guiyang resident. A photo of a fake criminal testing the system, John Sudworth, BBC Corespondent, is taken and entered into the computer.
Sudworth says, “Well let us see how long it takes you to find me. Thank you very much. Let’s go.” Correspondent, now as a criminal, leaves the police station to wander about the city. At a preset time, later that day, the search for him begins. Time passes allowing him to go wherever he wishes.
Film script says: “Across China cameras with artificial intelligence are in widespread use.” Cameras are shown getting facial recognition of everyone moving in the city in its search for a target. “Some can read faces, others can estimate age, ethnicity and gender.” Cameras are shown doing so.
We are next taken inside a huge factory making cameras. For those who value liberty one day freedom itself could be against the law, as it is in China, thus the following is especially horrifying.
Film script reads: “This factory in Hangzhou has sold one million facial recognition cameras in China. We can match every face with an ID card and trace all your movements back one week in time. We can match your face with your car. Match you with your relatives and the people you’re in touch with. With enough cameras, we can know who you frequently meet.”
Cameras are shown doing everything said above searching every face in the city for this one dissident or criminal taking shots of every person multi-directionally—even how he walks.
BBC Correspondent Sudworth “Well here we are. I just got out of the car close to the city center, and for the purposes of this exercise, the plan is for me to start walking in the direction of the bus station. My image has already been flagged to the authorities as a suspect and in theory, it should only be a matter of time.”
Sudworth walks noticing the cameras about him. “So already on this bridge. I can see one, two, three CCTV cameras. Of course there is no point hiding from them. Just keep on walking.” Life size scenes in the police control room show their ability to zero in on him as the cameras find him.
Film script in Chinese: “When the system recognizes a face the control room raises the alarm.”
Sudworth sees police approaching him from all directions. “Right behind me you can see over my shoulder there. ‘Hello guys, I’ve been expecting you.’ Maybe these guys aren’t in on the joke.”
Film script: “The exercise took just seven minutes “
Script: Xu Yan Guiyang Policewoman “For ordinary people we will only extract their data when they need our help. When they don’t need help, we won’t gather their data and it remains only in our big database. We only use it when needed.” While she speaks a vast electronic filing data system is shown.
BBC Correspondent: “If you have nothing to hide. You have nothing to fear!” Female Chinese officer smiles and says. “Yes that’s true. Citizens don’t need to worry.”
But citizens do need to worry, especially Americans!!! All tyrannical governments, of which China is one, want to know of, and round up, those who oppose them. Otherwise the American Revolution, which gave us the Declaration of Independence and liberty would have never gotten off the ground. No government should have surveillance sufficient to know what their people are doing at all times nor the power to locate and round up dissidents as viewed in this video. King George III would have loved rounding up, his dissidents, our Founding Fathers, in seven minutes.
