1) Salvaged from the memory hole: President Trump's 2018 executive order to sanction any foreign element who tries to influence American elections. It's an extraordinary document. whitehouse.gov/presidential-a…
2) Foreign elements that seek "to interfere in or undermine public confidence in United States elections, including through the unauthorized accessing of election and campaign infrastructure or the covert distribution of propaganda and disinformation," @realDonaldTrump said...
3) "... constitutes an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States."

"I hereby declare a national emergency to deal with this threat," Trump said in the 2018 executive order.
4 Trump ordered: Within 45 days of an election @ODNIgov shall make "assessment of any information indicating that a foreign government, or any person acting as an agent of or on behalf of a foreign government, has acted with the intent or purpose of interfering in that election."
5) The executive order goes into great detail which agencies should be involved in assessing foreign election interference, ordering that they give "updates and assessments" for "remedial action" against foreign agents or entities.

Then it spells out sanctions.

Mexico has cleaner elections than what we're seeing in America today.
I've been asking my Mexican friends about whether they think that "Mexico has cleaner elections than what we're seeing in America today." One knows election laws inside and out. They are deliberating the question.
Meanwhile, here's my 2017 take on Mexico's voting in a state like Michoacan, with corruption so bad that local citizens took up arms and overthrow their own town government and police, and set up their own self-defense forces against the cartels. thedailybeast.com/the-forest-gua…

Biden’s private army is strangely quiet right now. Unusually disciplined spontaneity. The rest of the gameplan seems to be proceeding. centerforsecuritypolicy.org/2020/09/15/bid…
It still isn’t too late to divide Biden’s establishment support from its extremist and subversive coalition members. americanmind.org/features/get-r…
This means we have to hammer on the fact that those who openly seek to overthrow our Constitution have temporarily set aside their differences to climb into the Biden Trojan Horse. amgreatness.com/2020/11/01/com…

Edward Luttwak effectively dispatches coup plotters John Nagl and Paul Yingling in this essay on "How Trump Survives a Coup." americanmind.org/features/get-r… @ELuttwak
Time for putschist John Nagl to be put out to pasture. Some of us were discreet in criticizing his authorship of the Counterinsurgency Manual for not understanding the applications of strategic psychological warfare against insurgents. @ELuttwak has a better take. Read on...
"Nagl was known till now as the true author of the inordinately long, rebarbative, and repetitive counter-insurgency manual attributed to generals Petraeus and Mattis—hundreds of pages written to elide the simple fact ..." (continued)

1) On official Kremlin website, Putin says that, having been a Communist Party member, "I still like many of these left-wing values." He says he has an "ideological basis" for cooperation with Biden and today's Democrats.
en.kremlin.ru/events/preside…
2) Putin says those "left-wing values" are hard to implement but are "very attractive, nevertheless. In other words, this can be seen as an ideological basis for developing contacts with the Democratic representative [Biden]."
3) How Putin sees the modern US Democratic Party's common roots with his own: "As for the Democratic candidate, what can I say? We can hear rather sharp anti-Russian rhetoric .... But some things are worth mentioning...."

1) Even though it's quiet in DC right now, @realDonaldTrump should declare Washington DC an "anarchist jurisdiction" and cut off all federal funds to the city.

.@MayorBowser is governing lawlessly in support of organized extremists who seek to attack the Constitution...
2) @MayorBowser has been encouraging and facilitating the mass violation of § 22–1307, "Crowding, obstructing, or incommoding." code.dccouncil.us/dc/council/cod…
3) @MayorBowser has encouraged and facilitated the mass violation of § 22–3312.01, "Defacing public or private proiperty." code.dccouncil.us/dc/council/cod…

Two US Capitol Police (responsible for Congress) told me that Washington DC @MayorBowser has instructed the DC metropolitan police to "slow walk" any responses to distress calls from Senator Mitch McConnell's house on Capitol Hill.
The US Capitol Police feel overwhelmed at what lays ahead of them, since Antifa/BLM have targeted individual Members of Congress for harassment or worse, and the DC city government is sympathetic to the mobs.
.@realDonaldTrump should federalize the District of Columbia Metropolitan Police and the DC National Guard now - before election day - and bring in reliable National Guard from other states, if we are to believe what the organized rioters are planning for the night of November 3.
