by DAVID FLINT ~ IT WAS inevitable that January 6 would be used in a desperate attempt to breathe life into a regime undoubtedly America’s worst in living memory.
Yet again, a compliant media beat up an incident which the authorities encouraged, one which resulted in no deaths attributable to the trespassers, but during which a Capitol police officer shot dead a female air force veteran without any apparent justification.
- A corrupt establishment removed probably the greatest president since at least Ronald Reagan, in terms of achievement at home and abroad.
- But they have not succeeded in their ultimate goal of destroying Trump and that for which he stands.
The mainstream media still report the untruth that President Trump falsely claimed the 2020 election was compromised by widespread fraud.
His claim is neither false nor is it restricted to fraud. It is centred on manifest breaches of the plain words of the Constitution which demonstrate, conclusively, that the election was rigged.
FRAUD
Not that the fraud was insubstantial. Despite media polling which could not have been more wrong, the election was significantly closer than in 2016. If only 22,000 votes in Arizona, Georgia and Wisconsin were found to be Trump’s and not Biden’s, the Electoral College would have been tied with the decision constitutionally going to Trump.
Fraud seemed to be everywhere. A key example was the announcement on the night of the election, when Trump was clearly leading, that counting in key States would close because of a water leak in one place.
Scrutineers (observers) were sent home. Then, without re-calling the scrutineers, counting was resumed in the early hours.
Unsurprisingly, Trump’s lead was dramatically and overwhelmingly reversed. Only a well-paid defence lawyer could say with a straight face, that this was not fraud.
Television viewers across the world were subsequently amazed to see a security video showing counting after scrutineers had been sent home, where boxes of votes were pulled out from under the tables.
Viewers also saw scrutineers seated either at such a distance from the counting that they could see nothing, or outside the room with the viewing window papered over.
The respected African-American Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas makes the important point that the absence of strong evidence of systemic fraud is not, in itself, sufficient for the public to have faith in the integrity of elections.
“Also important,” he says, “is the assurance that fraud will not go undetected.”
The system has to be such that the declared results will be accepted by the losers.
Americans used to have this by adopting crucial reforms which have been undermined in recent years.
These are the secret or “Australian” ballot, a single election day, and the fair administration of the elections.
Subject to an overriding legislative power vested in Congress, the Constitution makes it clear that it is for State legislatures, and State legislatures only, to regulate elections.
BREACHES
Invariably ignored by the mainstream media, the constitutional mandate in Article 1, Section 4, could not be clearer: “The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof…’.
A vast number of breaches of this provision by State governors, bureaucrats and often elected partisan State judges resulted in the whittling away of these key safeguards.
But both the secret ballot and the single election day are crucial to ensuring electoral integrity.
One notorious method was the mail-in ballot, especially where the roll is so questionable that it is even larger than the population of the constituency.
The vastly extended periods for voting and the receipt of mail-in votes makes a mockery of the longstanding legislative prescription of the election always being on “…the Tuesday next after the first Monday in the month of November”.
Discussing the results with a conservative Australian former politician sceptical about Trump’s objection, he asked me to suggest something he could read showing systemic electoral fraud.
Pointing out Trump’s objection was not just about fraud, I recommended he read the pleadings in the Supreme Court case, Texas v. Pennsylvania, where Texas and 17 other States alleged that Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin violated the Constitution by changing election procedures through non-legislative means.
(Today I would also recommend Mollie Hemingway‘s recent superb book, Rigged: How the Media, Big Tech and the Democrats Seized Our Elections.)
The Court squibbed hearing this case on a mere technicality. Apart from those brave souls, Justices Alito and Thomas, the judges must have been terrified about the violence likely to be unleashed by the Democrats’ terrorist arm, BLM.
VIOLENCE
After a summer of unmitigated violence, and for daring to hear an abortion case, Senate Democrat Minority Leader Charles “Chuck” Schumer made the following threat from the very steps of the court
“I want to tell you, Gorsuch; I want to tell you, Kavanaugh: You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price. You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.”
Schumer would be in gaol if he did that in Australia.
As for the election, the real losers are not only the American people, but a world dependent on American leadership to defend freedom.
Through a rigged election, a corrupt establishment removed probably the greatest president since at least Ronald Reagan, in terms of achievement at home and abroad.
The establishment has waged a constant war against Trump from using a Democrat “paid-for” fake dossier about Russian collusion to brief the electoral college in an attempt to overthrow the 2016 election, to the Obama administration, in its dying days, working out ways to protect officials who had lied to obtain warrants to spy on the Trump campaign.
COMMUNISTS
Their final success was to install an administration led by an under-achieving career politician, patriarch of a family demonstrably involved in the sale to foreign plutocrats, including Chinese communists, of access to and influence in the very heart of Washington, a betrayal of both the American people and the free world.
But they have not succeeded in their ultimate goal of destroying Trump and that for which he stands.
Now that Americans have seen what the establishment has planned for them, Trump and indeed Trumpism is, in terms of support, more unassailable than at its high point in 2020, which even those who rigged the election have to concede.PC
Covid was created to cripple the western worlds economy (USA) in particular and to oust Trump . Nobody knows the system better than I do . Donald J Trump November 2020. He told the people what they needed to hear not what they wanted to hear. Brokered peace in the middle east, stood up the China, NATO, UN, North Korea and other bullies of the world. He is the only sitting President not to start or preside over a war. Look at the USA and western world now? The Taliban has survived a world wide pandemic??
Well said. But for Trump to win he has to figure out how to counter the MSM which he exposed as the enemy of the US and the West. It amazes me how many people still watch outlets like CNN or the ABC and believe the lies and junk sprouted by these activist organisations.
“Morrie, you have a view on pretty much everything.”
It’s true, I do; the thing is that my views are well-informed. Anyone who doubts that can ask Tony Abbott if he thinks I was correct when I warned him in late 2016 that war with China was inevitable, and that the world was headed for a financial crisis on the scale of the Great Depression.
“Yet you attack anyone who attempts to express a slightly different opinion.”
I’m not attacking anyone, just pointing out how silly it is to grovel before empty-headed foreign hacks who have ascended to the top of a greasy pole on the basis of money and media presence, and not on that of demonstrable intelligence or erudition, much less real life experience. (If you are interested in just how corrupt and self-serving the U.S. political system has long been, you should watch the excellent series “The Vietnam War” on SBS; the revelations are beyond shocking).
“We’re on the same side!”
… and our side is losing precisely because we fawn over people like Trump, rather than understanding the type of individuals that are really required, and working to have those people elected in Australia.
If people can’t handle the truth, they shouldn’t read the things I write, but I would venture to suggest that those who shy away from a spade being called a spade are never going to be part of the solution to our manifold serious political woes.
Scrutineering may have been and issue in the US, but the real issue was the voting machines. More and more proof they were rigged towards Joe the Potato, but up to 26% in one case I was reading today. Dominion, the company behind these machines, is already lobbying to sell their wretched machines in Australia. This must be resisted and prohibited completely. We must never give up paper ballots, hand counting and proper scrutineering. I have worked at and after elections for the AEC and the only machines used were notes counters to bundle the votes up after the whole has been completed manually. And that is how it must remain.

“[…] the greatest president since at least Ronald Reagan […]”
My thirteen year old son is already, at his tender age, far sharper than both Reagan and Trump put together. Please stick to the facts, with the salient one being, in this case, that the only concrete recommendation for either Reagan or Trump was that they were not as bad as the alternatives. Those who pay attention to politics understand that’s how these things work – how else do you think it is that Australia ended up with the ignorant moron we currently have for a PM?
Yeah, yeah, yeah: five down-votes.
Not many conservatives seem to comprehend that Donald is no more than an ill-educated buffoon who ascended to the presidency because he has a big inheritance and a big mouth. Those who fawn over Trump are the same ones who breathlessly regard Tony Abbott with starry-eyed adulation, notwithstanding the fact that Tony worked first as a journalist (where he had to write) and then as a politician (where he had to speak) – so the sum total of his life “experience” consists of nothing more than writing and speaking, which does not quite constitute an adequate preparation for life in the real world.
The reason that Australia has been saddled with a succession of “Liberal” governments that have proved to be at best mediocre is precisely because conservatives are so singularly inept when it comes to understanding how to evaluate politicians, or prospective politicians. So keep on down-voting comments such as the one above, and keep on giving up your time and money for a bait-and-switch political party that treats you with utter contempt by preselecting left-wing lunatics, secure in the knowledge that the undiscerning simpletons of the rank-and-file will behave as obedient sheep should, and will vote for them because “we really don’t have a choice, as Labor is even worse”. (I’d ask you to let me know how that turns out, but I don’t need to, because I already know).
One of the dumbest comments I’ve read here.
I don’t believe you have a 13 year old son since you have the mental age of a 13 year old.
