(RETWEET) This may be the most incredible data visualization I've ever seen. It shows COVID-19 transforming from a blue-state scourge (spring 2020) to a red-state one (summer/fall 2020)—with the clear implication being that Trump led his cultists to death.
(PS) Of the two clearly blue states that stay on the visualization—California and Illinois—the latter is last on the list by the end, just about to drop off, and California (we must remember) had massive community spread early on because of travelers (US and foreign) from China.
(PS2) This visualization starts shortly after the partial lockdowns ended—the point at which Trump went to war not against the virus but against lockdowns, convincing red-state voters to rebel against such basic pandemic-response measures. Here we see the deadly—harrowing—result.
(PS3) I saw this visualization on the feed of @AnthonyJClark, but it was originally done by Dan Goodspeed (dangoodspeed.com), who per his personal website doesn't seem to be on Twitter. Here's where the visualization seems to have first been posted: dangoodspeed.com/covid/total-ca…

That's right, Rich—while Trump transition officials were supposed to be "doing a peaceful transfer of power" in November/December 2016, they were in fact executing a full-on coup of US foreign policy by illegally negotiating with America's enemies under false color of authority.
Every action taken by the Obama administration in November/December 2016 with respect to the incoming Trump administration is now confirmed as (a) legal, and (b) a response to the most extraordinary usurpation of federal power by a transition team in the history of this country.
From the day Trump won election in 2016, he decided that he wasn't the "president-elect"—but the *president*. He ordered his team to treat him like the president, to project his authority like he was already president, and *all* of it was criminal. Which is why it was covered up.

BREAKING: Our first-ever news on a potential Egyptian plot. Egypt was a founding member of the Red Sea Conspiracy detailed across the 600 pages of Proof of Conspiracy (Macmillan, 2019)—and the only one whose illegal election aid to Trump remained unknown as of the book's release.
PS/ I understand the probe into Trump-Egypt collusion hit a wall. I also know from having written Proof of Conspiracy that el-Sisi could not have been part of the Red Sea Conspiracy—and he was a central part of it—unless he was aiding Trump in some way. It'll be found eventually.
PS2/ One reason Egypt's role was elusive was that, unlike Saudi Arabia and the UAE and Israel, it did not send an emissary to Trump Tower to get Donald Trump Jr.'s blessing for election tampering. Instead, el-Sisi—more cautious than the other conspirators—met with Trump himself.

(1 of 4) I just came across a rant from some guy from back in January—angry that I'd suggested to readers here that they recommend to this fellow the Proof books be added to his widely read list of recommended Trump books. It reminded me of something I've wanted to say for a bit.
(2 of 4) Being an author isn't how some seem to think. I'm a professor and not wealthy. I don't have a publicist; the marketing teams that work on my books are limited in what they can/do do—in part because they're working on many books at the same time. They don't work "for me."
(3 of 4) I hate—hate—marketing. I've no native interest in it. But getting word out about my books falls to me. Not because I think I'm great, but because if I don't get the word out it doesn't get out. What does get out—widely—are attacks on me. So I have to fight on two fronts.

The bestseller that disproves everything Trump is saying today. Please RETWEET.

✅ "A searing indictment"—NPR

💟 "⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"—1350 Amazon ratings (Proof series) amazon.com/dp/1250272998?…
PS/ We now have major-media journalists tweeting out—and tweeting about—the New York Post story fed to it by Rudy Giuliani and Kremlin agents as though the story doesn't include a *massive* factual error in its *very first paragraph*. This is lunacy. We already know the truth.
PS2/ At the time Shokin was fired by Ukraine's congress—an action supported by the *entire West*—he had helped a Burisma executive *escape* prosecution and a probe relating to the company (involving a period of time before Hunter was there) had a negotiated settlement in process.

This whole story is explained in great detail in my book Proof of Corruption. What's going to happen today is that a large number of journalists who never advised people to read that book are going to frantically tell people not to believe the lies that it conclusively disproved.
1/ I tweeted out for months that lies about Biden and Ukraine were coming soon from Giuliani and others who had been involved in 2016 "October surprises," like Steve Bannon and certain right-wing media outlets. And I said I'd written a book to counter that Kremlin disinformation.
2/ I don't know if it's too late now or not. Apparently Maggie Haberman, the New York Post, Giuliani and Bannon are now pushing Kremlin disinformation as an "October surprise"...

...that was conclusively disproven in a national bestseller. I did what I could to get the word out.

Readers of this feed have heard me saying this near-daily for six months now, based on under-reported major-media reporting. Well, finally someone's put it all in a study: nbcnews.com/health/health-…
EXCESS deaths—versus similar pre-COVID-19 timeframe—as of 7/31: 225,530

OFFICIAL deaths from COVID-19—in US—as of 7/31: 157,202

UNEXPLAINED deaths as of 7/31, now thought to be largely uncounted COVID-19 deaths: 68,328

UNDERCOUNT through 7/31, as estimated on this feed: 60,000
PS/ I note the above just to underscore that when I was writing on this feed that the death toll was low by 60,000 through July 31, I was working from major-media reporting and not just blowing smoke. This new study has now—sadly—confirmed what everyone read here many months ago.
