A 6,000 vote switch in Michigan giving Trump votes to Biden, said to be a glitch, has brought electronic voting machines and programs into national focus. The attention is centered on the software program Dominion, made by Smartmatic in Venezuela, used in 30 states and in 2000 jurisdictions throughout the nation. Texas wisely, three times, refused its use because of serious security concerns.
This prompts question. Why does Dominion switch votes only from Trump to Biden, one way? Perhaps a few votes but could it switch millions of Trump votes to Biden, enough to steal an election? Apparently yes and did. WhiteHouse attorney Sidney Powell on Sunday With Maria Bartiromo, November 15, 2020 told Maria, “President Trump won by not just hundreds of thousands but by millions … that were shifted by this software that was designed expressly for that purpose. We have sworn witness testimony of why the software was designed. It was designed to rig elections….We have so much evidence I feel like it’s coming in through a firehose.”
She spoke of Peter Neffenger, president and board of directors member of Smartmatic, the manufacturer of Dominion, and now on Biden’s transition team, as having known of its capacity to alter elections and its having done so effectively in other countries especially in Venezuela. Its use in America was to do the same here.
Powell continued, “Even their own manual explains how those [votes] can be wiped away. They can …drag and drop Trump votes to a separate folder and then delete that folder. It’s absolutely brazen how people bought the system and why they bought this system. In fact, every state that bought Dominion, for sure should have a criminal investigation or at least a serious investigation of the officers in the states who bought the software…. they know that they can win the election if they are using that software. It’s really an insidious, corrupt system.” At another point in the conversation she said, “No honest person would use the system….But the people who bought the Dominion system for sure knew exactly what they were getting. It should never have been installed anywhere.”
Maria Bartiromo mentioned that her whistleblowers had said similar things. One, an IT specialist familiar with the software, spoke of “an unusual patch that was put into the software while it was live. And it’s highly unusual to put a patch in there.” She asks, “Is that what you’re referring to? Tell me how it’s done and how these backdoors work.”
Powell responded, “That’s part of it. They can stick a thumb drive in the machine or load software to it even from the Internet. They can do it from Germany or Venezuela even. They can remote access anything. They can watch votes in real time. They can shift votes in real time. We’ve identified mathematically the exact algorithm they used and planned to use from the beginning to modify the votes, in this case to make sure Biden won….And they can do anything they want with the votes. They can have the machines not read the signature. They can have the machines not read the down ballot, they can make the machines read and catalog only the Biden votes. It’s like drag and drop whatever you want, wherever you want. Upload votes? Yeah.”
Powell explained that this is what happened in the wee morning hours of November 4 in Michigan and Pennsylvania “all of a sudden hundreds of thousands of votes at a 67% ratio for Biden 23% for Trump uploaded multiple times into the system.” Adding, that is why Biden “said he didn’t need your votes now. He would need you later. He was right. I mean, in his demented state, he had no filter and he was speaking the truth more than once, including when he said he had the largest voter fraud organization ever. Well, it’s massive election fraud. It’s gonna undo the entire election.”
Bartiromo asks Powell, “You say you have an affidavit from someone who knows how this system works and was there with the planning of it…You can prove this?” Powell. “Yes. Oh, oh, yes. We have a witness who knew exactly how it worked from the beginning, why it was designed to work that way.” Adding, “That was the same play that had worked in other countries.”
None of this should surprise Democrats as they have warned about electronic election fraud long before Donald Trump. “Just last year, several leading Democrats in the Senate, moderates, including Amy Klobuchar, and Mark Warner of Virginia, sent a letter to the three largest vendors of election systems in our country. Those companies included election systems and software: Dominion, Voting Systems, Inc, and Hart InterCivic.” It read in part, “The integrity of our elections is directly tied to the machines we vote on, the products that you make. There has been a lack of meaningful innovation in the election vendor industry and our democracy is paying the price” (Tucker Carlson Tonight, Nov. 16, 2020).
Unfortunately, Democrats seem strangely quiet. They appear happy with the fraudulent vote count, saying nothing of the overwhelming evidence surrounding it, and their media’s participation in the censorship of those who do. If it were the other way around they would squawk like geese. Unless censorship prevails look for them to return to flag and city burning and Molotov cocktail throwing when the courts throw out the illegal ballots and give Trump his rightful second term.

Dear Vice President Biden, as I watched your campaign move increasingly leftward, away from freedom and the Constitution, I became concerned for your safety and place in history. You want the presidency so badly that you are willing to compromise yourself and soul to get it. Your new friends, Senator Bernie Sanders and the Squad, do not love America or anything about it, nor you. They want to bring it down. You are but a vehicle to them in advancing a socialist agenda. Your new friends will replace you as soon as they can. Nancy Pelosi’s latest 25th Amendment challenge is not to get rid of Donald Trump but you. The woman campaigning with you is anxious to replace you—and will— if you obtain this office.
You could have stopped the burning and looting of American cities by your supporters as they threw molotov cocktails at police and looted stores. You called them peaceful demonstrators. This empowered them to do more of the same. As president you will not be able to control them. They want a Marxist America and for the time being you are their “useful idiot” until replaced.
You have exceeded the average lifespan for males in this country of 76.1, and you know you are cognitively failing. If made president you are not likely to finish your term. Whether your “friends” take you out, or you go naturally, you will meet God soon.
You are corrupt. Tara Reade, your former staffer, says you raped her in 1993. You gave a quid pro quo to Ukraine, “If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money (one billion).” You never had to answer these charges because your corrupt media friends never made you. Your son Hunter’s laptop contains thousands of documents disclosing that you and your family made millions by influence peddling in multiple nations. You are “the big guy” in some of those documents personally profiting from the Chinese Communist government. They have lots more on you. Your friends and party helped you cover this up but you will stand before God soon where you cannot hide. You are in so deep you can be blackmailed and they and you know it.
Another trove of documents from Democrat Tony Bobulinski, confirm the information found in Hunter’s laptop. Facebook and Twitter joined the Democrat press in censoring this too. Most of your voters never got to hear this did they Joe? But it is still out there. Truth can never be fully suppressed. Twitter cannot save you from God. Republicans are not going to forget either and if they get their way you will face impeachment your first year in office. At any time these stories could be front page news and you will go down in history as having sold out your country, a traitor, a Benedict Arnold. These things cannot be censored forever Joe.
(TO READERS: If any of this is new to you it is because your news sources have censored it. Please send this information to all your friends before this too is censored.)
You know your election was/is corrupt. It is not mathematically possible to have a batch of 128,000 votes in Michigan, and 112,000 in Wisconsin coming next day in the early hours—not one of whom was for Donald Trump. Likewise, Pennsylvania had a batch of ballots 23,277 in Philadelphia, all for Biden. There are too many videos out their Joe showing voter fraud for you. You cannot cite an instance of Trump voter fraud.
Trump had thousands attending every rally, more than any president in U.S. History, and you never had more than a few. You used Covid to hide your low public appeal in comparison. That was part of the deception, wasn’t it Joe? You are supposed to have beaten the most popular president in U.S. History given crowd sizes. This is not possible without corruption now known.
Eventually you will be exposed and go down in history as the most corrupt president in U.S History, “His fraudulency,” many times worse than Richard Nixon. Is this what you want?
So here is an honorable way out Joe. Suppose you reject the title President-elect, at least until it can be made legitimate and join Trump in insisting that only LEGAL votes be counted. You can tell America that you do not want the vote of dead people, or from those illegally in this country, or from those filing multiple ballots, and you reject Trump votes that were switched to you because of the computer program Dominion,—6,000 in one county. Forty-seven other Minnesota counties and at least 28 other states used the same corrupt computer program. If so, millions of Trump votes were switched to you.
If fairly elected America will support you as the next president. Tell us that if you cannot win honestly, you do not wish to win at all. Tell us that you are trying to save the integrity of the ballot system in place, even if it costs you the presidency. That is what an honest man would do.
The respect that would come from this sincere move on your part is likely to put your name in the history books as having saved America. Chances are likely that your influence peddling and selling out to China would be displaced by the greater part of you and you would escape prosecution for having done so. Chances are also that God, when you pass, would remember the man that you became over the man that you were. It is the right thing to do. You might even save America from a nasty civil war. The integrity of our elections is far more important than your place in the history books as the most corrupt president in U.S. History. What do you say Joe? You must hurry, Newsmax just called North Carolina for Trump, Pennsylvania, Arizona Wisconsin and Georgia look to follow.

Nov 11, 2020 | Globalism, Liberty Articles
By Harold Pease, Ph.D.
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.

Freedom and our Constitution are on the 2020 ballot because you can’t have one without the other. We are the freest people on the planet and for the longest time because of the U.S. Constitution. No governing document has harnessed those who govern us more fully or better than this document.
This is so because it is based upon natural inalienable rights coming from God. It can not be understood fully without viewing it as an extension of the Declaration of Independence in which God was referenced five times. The document authorized our right to rebel from tyranny and, with victory, we constructed a document insuring government tyranny could never return. This inspired document gave Americans freedom from excessive government. Yes, it took a war and some time to make freedom apply to everyone, but we succeeded.
Freedom is always on the ballot but more so now than at any other time. This column does not name parties or persons because these are stumbling blocks to some, but is asking Americans to consider what we have before voting to lose it.
The Second Amendment, “a well regulated militia,” (the people are the militia then and today), such “being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.” No other amendment uses these last four words which mean off limits to government. No city, county, state nor even the federal government can make any laws infringing on our inalienable right to protect ourself, and our collective right to resist our own government should it defy constitutional government—the same right used by our Founders to resist the British government by force when it became tyrannical.
It is ironic that in our day as anarchy reigns in our biggest cities that these same cities elect to defund or disband those hired to protect us from violence, that gun sales automatically escalate. The major political parties are polar opposite on your right of self defense. One presidential primary candidate stating, “HELL YES, WERE GOING TO TAKE YOUR AR-15, YOUR AK-47.” “Vote wisely, all other freedoms hinge on this one.
There are other areas in which “Congress shall make no law.” The 1st Amendment specifically named: religion, speech, press, assembly and the right to petition the government for grievances. The prohibitions were extended to state governments also by the 14th Amendment. But in 2020 it was in these areas that more rights of Americans were taken than in any other single year in U.S. History—those who love freedom viewed the actions of some governors as dictatorial, even tyrannical.
The most violated of these were freedoms of assemble, religion, and press. With stay at home decrees “peaceably to assemble” vanished, unless you were rioting.
“Congress shall make no law, respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” One political party supported governors arbitrarily prohibiting religious gatherings, limiting their number, and enforcing other provisions for their meetings during the Wuhan Virus Scare—all unconstitutional. The other, maintained that everything in life is a risk and left the assessment of risk, and its consequences, to parishioners, honoring the Constitution which prohibited any government involvement. The very definition of liberty is freedom from excessive government. One party wants government intervention in potentially every aspect of human life, the other thinks that the best government is the least government. This is called freedom.
Congress shall make no law abridging the “freedom of the press.” Certainly censorship of the press by government is constitutionally forbidden but what about the government (Congress) allowing monopolies Google, Facebook, YouTube and Twitter exemption from law suits for their horrendous censorship practices. Only the views of one party is censored so it obviously objects. One party encourages the disclosure of information regarding candidates before a vote; the other endorses—even practices censorship. Today big tech has more power over press issues than the federal government—they are social media. Some data shows a marriage between big tech and one of the major political parties. When that party returns to power so does big tech.
Other issues divide the parties as well. One such is globalism vs. American Independence. Our system of government is designed to problem solve from the bottom up essentially never elevating to a higher level that which can be resolved at a lesser level. But there are many today who wish to problem solve from the top down—even from the United Nations down. This notion has different and changing names: world government, internationalism, new world order, and now globalism. Globalists see nationalism as an enemy and seek to transfer decision making power to unelected international bureaucratic organizations. Today one political party endorses globalism, the other American Independence.
Until 2016 both parties failed to follow the Constitution as written, distorting sections when convenient. Today the biggest divide of the political parties is over the Constitution itself: one party undermining it, distorting it at every turn, the other now seeking to adhere more strictly “as written.”
This election the Constitution and liberty are clearly on the ballot; making it the most important in our history. We must retain what has been tried and proved. We must choose freedom over tyranny, the free market over socialism and the Constitution as written. It would be wise to consider what we have before voting to lose it.

Big tech outlets Twitter and Facebook are presently “actively interfering in this election in a way that has no precedent in the history of our country.” So said Senator Ted Cruz of the Senate Judiciary Committee, October 15 after thousands of incriminating documents were released by the New York Post the previous day showing Joe Bidden knew a great deal about the corruption of his son Hunter with Burisma in the Ukraine , despite his insistence that he didn’t. This looks to be the biggest case for influence peddling for money and election interference, in U.S. History.
This story was immediately blocked by both Twitter and Facebook. The New York Post, the fourth largest newspaper in the nation, itself faced censorship of Its own story, when it attempted to cover the newly released documents “Never before have we seen active censorship of a major press publication, with serious allegations of corruption of one of the two candidates for president.” Senator Cruz had tried to share the story with others and was himself blocked by Twitter (Ted Cruz EXPLODES On Big Tech Censorship, C-Span Senate Judiciary Committee, October 15, 2020).
The same paper broke a second Biden scandal story in China the next day revealing “the Biden family receiving millions of dollars from Communist China government officials.” Neither of these stories is new. But the thousands of documents suggesting influence peddling and the amount of money, millions, coming to the Biden family with it, including to “the big guy,” Joe, is new, powerful, damning and can’t be ignored outside censorship. The Hunter Biden trove of laptop documents also implicate Hunter’s Uncle James Biden and James’ wife, Sara Biden (“Emails reveal how Hunter Biden tried to cash in big on behalf of family with Chinese firm,” by Emma-Jo Morris and Gabrielle Fonrouge, New York Post, October 15, 2020. View also New York Post first story “Biden Secret E-Mails”, October 14, 2020).
Two emails that popped up early, of the estimated 40,000 emails, were particularly interesting. One with Chinese billionaire Ye Jianming, chairman of the CEFC China Energy Co., China’s largest private energy company, during Joe Biden’s vice presidency. In it Hunter demanded “a $10 million annual fee” for three consecutive years for “introductions alone” to his father Joe Biden.
A second email entitled “Expectations” sent to Hunter in a proposed related business venture divided the resultant equity profit into six “remuneration packages.” Strangely only first names were identified and recipients only by initials. Of the six recipients Hunter was to receive 20% and another 10% was to be held by Hunter for “the big guy,” presumably his father Joe Biden (Ibid.).
When pieces of the story began to emerge last year, Joe Biden denied any wrongdoing and that he knew of any of the business dealings of his son Hunter. The documents from Hunter’s own laptop show otherwise. Democratic Party news outlets never ask him about this, then or now—and never will. Since the avalanche of documents went public October 14, Joe’s only comment is that it is a smear. Otherwise he refuses any question on it and has cancelled all public appearances until after the coming debate, October 22. Unless Donald Trump can find a way to bring it up, it will be censored by Democrats then as well.
Biden’s defenders first attacked the repair shop owner, then disinformation, then the discredited Russian collision—again, and now Rudy Giuliani—each failing in turn. They do not deny any specific allegation, nor that the documents are not real, nor that they didn’t come from Hunter’s own laptop. With thousands of text messages and emails they know they can’t. So they have resorted to censorship.
Thus the rush by the Democratic Party billionaire CEO’s Jack Dorsey, of Twitter, and Mark Zuckerberg, of Facebook to censor the story away so Americans cannot see the blatant evidence—at least not before November 3rd. Presumably if Joe Biden is elected president this all goes away.
Hunter Biden never returned for his laptop. Eventually, in December 2019, the repair shop turned it over to the FBI which admits having it in their possession. It, with all the incriminating evidence, exists! Why they sat on it for most of a year has yet to be explained,
As a result of what appears to be both a contribution in kind and election interference by Twitter and Facebook, Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, Lindsey Graham, is calling for billionaire CEO’s Jack Dorsey, of Twitter, and Mark Zuckerberg, of Facebook, to testify before his committee October 23, The accusation “contribution in kind” is because no amount of money contributed can equal the power dealt the opposing side by the censorship of the probable coverup of allegations of corruption.
Chairman Graham explained, “These social media platforms have a dominance in our lives: their newspapers, their TV stations, their radio stations, their publishers. And this to me crystallizes the problem better than anything I could think of for the American people. You may be a Democrat, saying I don’t want to hear the New York Post,[but] it could be you tomorrow.” Adding, “So the point is that the power behind these platforms have been taken to a level that truly is dangerous” (Ted Cruz EXPLODES On Big Tech Censorship).
He could have added, “They are the public square. Without them the opposition has no access to the public square. Thus there exists no freedom of the press.” Freedom of speech is denied soon thereafter.

“The fundamental problem in this country is the power that the billionaire class has over the economic and political life of this country….One person, one vote, not billionaires buying elections,” Bernie Sanders told fellow contestants in the Democratic Presidential debates. Elizabeth Warren agreed, “I don’t think any billionaire ought to be able to buy an election. We’ve got billionaires who think they can just buy an election; case in point, Michael Bloomberg.”
They recognized the harm to America when they themselves faced the billionaires. Last December candidate Bloomberg flooded the airways with millions in television adds. He could not buy the nomination because Democratic Party media news outlets told us he was trying to do so and America resisted.
But when Warren added, “And I don’t think people who suck up to billionaires in order to fund their campaigns ought to do it,” they turned on each other like raving wolves. “The mayor just recently had a fundraiser that was held in a wine cave full of crystals and served $900 a bottle wine. Billionaires in wine caves should not pick the next president of the United States.”
Pete Buttigieg fired back, “This is the problem with issuing purity tests you cannot yourself pass. Senator your net worth is 100 times mine.” To which Warren sniped back, identifying precisely the problem, they all seek to be purchased by the rich. “I do not sell access to my time. I don’t do call time with millionaires and billionaires” (Tucker Carlson Tonight, Sept. 22, 2020. Hereafter cited TCT). They all dance before the rich to be purchased like slaves on the auction block and they all know it. Moreover, after one is selected all forever remain silent thereafter. They might want to sell themselves again.
Their collective admission should shock America. How long have billionaires picked the candidates? Are the voters also being purchased? The millionaire / billionaire club does not simply disappear. They have selected the primary winners in both major political parties since William McKinley until Donald Trump, who funded his own primary and thus bypassed them and their control. They hate Trump for it.
Deeply frustrated in 2016 because they lost control of the Republican Party and could not in 2020 find a candidate that could beat Trump, even with all their money, two billionaires, Tom Steyer and Michael Bloomberg, offered themselves late in the presidential primary. Failing to gain traction, even after spending small fortunes, they settled on Joe Biden who was willing to accept the Bernie Sanders socialist political platform complete with the Green New Deal.
So are these billionaires still buying this election and are you helping them? “Michael Bloomberg has promised to spend more than 100 million dollars to make Joe Biden president. One man spending 100 million dollars in a single presidential election.” This attempt to purchase the office of president, that he could not himself win, should offend every American. “Bloomberg is also spending 10s of millions of dollars to elect Democrats to the House of Representatives” (TCT). Remember, he bragged in the debates about his money having “bought” 21 new members of the House of Representatives giving the House to the Democrats and leadership to Nancy Pelosi (Dan Merica, “Bloomberg catches himself from saying he ‘bought’ House races in 2018,” CNN, February 25, 2020).
The story is the same respecting Tom Steyer who “spent more than $230 million since 2014 on his own efforts to influence policy and elections, and has said he will pour at least $100 million into his campaign (Tom Steyer’s mega-millions debate gambit flops: The wealthy Democratic presidential candidate wasn’t able to spend his way into the DNC’s September debate, By Maggie Severns and Steven Shepard, 08/29/2019, POLITICO).
Recently we published the impact of Trump hater George Soros’ money on the 2016, 2018 and 2020 elections. He spent $17 million since 2015 alone trying to buy district attorneys, undermining justice in six states by 2016 and 17 states by 2018 creating a revolving door for criminals. “Criminals commit crimes, police arrest them, Soros backed DA’s release them” the next day in time for a repeat performance the next evening. Another billionaire all in for Biden.
In this Bloomberg has joined forces with Soros. Bloomberg recently contributed “$16 million
to pay the court fines for 32,000 Hispanic and Black Florida voters and apparently choosing them by race from felony conviction.” Why? The most obvious reason “it immediately activates 10s of thousands of voters who are predisposed to vote for Joe Biden.” (TCT).
The billionaires of Google, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube assist by censoring most, if not all of the above information, closing their platforms by creating algorithms to suppress any information that is harmful to their political interests. They too are all in for Biden.
Tucker Carlson said it best, America “is making a tiny group of people richer than anyone has ever been in human history. Those people suddenly run everything, including our elections. They are subverting our political system, far more brazenly, and with much greater effect than that dastardly Vladimir Putin ever dreamed of doing. Our billionaire class is the real threat to democracy… we’re in a moment now, where a tiny group of the richest people in history are having a widely disproportionate effect on this race” (TCT).
So all the democratic candidates, and Republicans in previous presidential elections as well, “suck up to billionaires in order to fund their campaigns,” as Elizabeth Warren said. The only exception in the last hundred years was Donald Trump who financed his own primary allowing him to vault over the control of the billionaire elite. They hate him because he took power from them and they will do ANYTHING to get it back. Have the billionaires bought your vote too?
