The ever amazing @JoshuaMacias told me that, and when I shared it with @GenFlynn, he told me that that was just about as solid counsel as a warrior might ever be given.
2) The word I hear is that we have this election in hand. Is that word right? I don't know. Do I accept it? On my knee, drinking some water, I do...provisionally. That is, I will wait for guidance. That, by the way, might have been the title for today's analysis.
3) While I wait, I will analyze. I want you to do so as well. That's what we're diving into right now. As I have frequently put forward, I consider myself to be one of the greatest forensic analysts in the world. My favored form is simply called Failure Analysis.
4) It took me many decades to reduce my method down to a single, piercingly simple question:
What went wrong?
Funny, I have come to LOVE those three little words, and their guardian angel punctuation question mark.
5) So often, the facial response I observe when I ask that question looks something like...did something go wrong?
I love this question too. Did something go wrong? For my own part, if I'm asking that, then I can assure you, something went very, very wrong.
6) Let's go there right now. There is a term we need called "chain of custody." I first learned this term in, of all places, my coffee art. There's a farm, a harvest, a mode of processing the coffee beans. Then, there are auctions and shipping procedures. Coffee beans move.
7) Farm to auction house, to shipper: those are 3 links in the chain of custody. And stuff often goes wrong even in those earliest links. Green coffee beans arrive somewhere. Green? That just means not yet roasted, okay? Someone has to pick up the bags of beans from the port.
8) Port to truck to warehouse. 3 more links in the chain. Each one of which may allow stuff to go wrong. Honest. Warehouse to roaster. Roaster to grinder. Grider to brewer. How fresh were those beans when ground? How long between grind and brew? Now we have a cup. A sip.
9) I lost count. How many links in the chain of custody? And that term: CUSTODY. What a term! Anyone with children whose gone through a divorce knows that term so well it might as well be a tattoo of your heart.
I am certain you get the idea.
10) Let's put coffee aside for now, but do please take a delightful sip, first, and return to our beloved What Went Wrong analysis. We will apply this to this very moment of the 2020 election, soon, I promise. Before we do, we must return to 2018.
11) I did some absolutely fantastic Failure Analysis back then. I placed the entire burden for the loss of the House on us, the MAGA Movement. I credited Trump with strengthening the Senate, and look how important that was. He was 100% right to focus there, then.
12) @KateScopelliti and I even wrote a book on topic in advance. We put everything we had into that book, and I am truly proud to recommend it now, all over again.
13) Kate and I knew the significance of the midterms. We were absolutely scared out of our heads that we, the MAGA Movement, would fall back asleep and be complacent. Our fear was proven all too true. Blithely, we gave up the House. Shame on us.
14) I need not linger on how we failed, other than just to say, we did. Can you imagine what our world might look like today if we'd held the House? It is impossible to count the measure of the consequences. We must admit we failed. Something important went very wrong.
15) So sadly, I now have a new element to add to my 2018 Failure Analysis. Voter fraud. Yes. That is what everyone told me back in 2018, when I was going off about how we simply did not show up in strong enough numbers. I still stand behind the not showing up enough conclusion.
16) But what I now, finally, realize is this. All my many friends who warned me of voter fraud in 2018 were right. I WRONGLY dismissed their case. I should have listened to them, and I did not. Believe it or not, that converts into a 2020 failure.
17) Let's lay this out with fresh clarity. Go all the way back to 2000 and 2001. What do we know about the 9/11 terrorists and their evil plot? We know they tested our system. What happens if you bring a box cutter onto an airplane? They tested every part of our system.
18) They found our weakness and, as true warriors - evil though they were - they exploited our weakness with impunity. Warriors exploit the weakness of their enemies. It is the sine qua non of warfare. My strength against your weakness. That is warfare, period.
19) That's my failure from 2018. I failed to see that CUSTODY OF HONEST VOTES was the weak point in our system. I failed to focus on how votes are honest and legal, or dishonest and illegal. I did not sign on to care about the CUSTODY OF HONEST VOTES.
20) Proper Failure Analysis is ALWAYS based upon what-if scenarios. What if we'd done the right thing instead of the wrong thing? We have to walk our way through those scenarios. I'll give you a stunning one, right now.
21) What if we had, in both Korea and Vietnam, admitted that our true enemy was China? What if we'd decided to fight Communism, itself? What if we recognized our true enemy, and declared war upon them? What a different world this would be.
22) To the degree I can, I am a Nixon fan. Allying with China against USSR was genius. I always recognize him for that. But come on, two wars fought against China and never a word of who our real enemy was. China defeated us in both wars. Linger on that, please.
23) China defeated us in the Korean and the Vietnam wars. They won. We lost. That's two wars in a row. And that's what I missed in 2018. China defeated MAGA in 2018. China? Well, China, the Cabal, obviously the Democrats, etc. We lost the House. What if voter fraud was the means?
24) If you've followed my work, you know that this book is one of the most important I've ever read. If you haven't read it yet, you must. Seriously, you must.
27) It was only yesterday when I finally realized, this is actual, all out war. I confessed then, and repeat my confession now, I was still playing scrabble while the enemy was blade-to-neck fighting all out war. The playing/fighting field will never be level.
28) So, I say again...
I will await guidance.
When our great POTUS decides to guide us, I will follow and adhere to that guidance. What must we do? He will tell us. I have no fear over that.
29) Returning to my Failure Analysis, last time. I will state it personally. I did nothing from 2018 till now to analyze or recommend voter fraud protections. I did not live up to my honorable obligation as custodian of an honest vote. I didn't do a single thing.
30) That changes now.
Both @PatriotAssembly and @JoshuaMacias are on the Field of Fight, right now. I choose to support them, as should you.
I have pledged what support I'm humanly able to both of these heroes.
31) National, Regional, State, and Local, there are election executives. I don't know who they are, do you?
To say again, that was my failure in 2018. Our enemy was testing our system, and found our weaknesses. I had many friends telling me that, but I failed to listen.
32) Showing up to vote is one thing. Sticking around to ensure that a proper vote is counted, and an illegal vote is not counted, that's a thing of a different nature. It is, in fact, the first salvo of a war. I don't know how to do these things. I have friends who do.
33) If we're going to fight a war, then we'd best procure the best war counsel we can. I started this mission on 11 January 2019. It is worth your time now, as never before.
2) These two images are the most recent press release on topic. Please read them carefully. I say again, Joshua is in jail, and is a political prisoner as we speak.
3) I spoke with Joshua earlier this week over the phone. He shared with me that he, and the rest of the #StopTheSteal team where heading up to Philadelphia. I snapped these two images from FOX yesterday.
I do not have further instruction from anyone emplaced within the campaign for guidance, yet. We will all soon have that instruction. I, for one, will follow it to the letter. Calmly, I wait.
2) As I identified yesterday, my own failure in all this is the question of:
THE CUSTODY OF THE VOTE
That is, I never focused on it. Following 2018's loss of the House, everyone told me voter fraud, and I dismissed them. I deeply regret that.
3) Many of you kindly guided me not to be so hard on myself, and I thank you for that. You're sort of right of. The mercy I grant myself is this. I had
NOT YET IDENTIFIED THE STATE OF WAR WITHIN
It's not much comfort. Of all people, I should have identified that state already.
My great friend @JonStancik hit me up with this article yesterday evening, and I immediately knew I'd be commenting upon it today. Please read it in full.
2) Another tremendous friend, and also a business colleague called me up last night and we were discussing a fundamentally flawed assumption written in our bones as Conservatives. We simply expect systems to work fairly and properly, on level playing fields.
3) I want to emphasize the term "level playing field." Think about how no one checks a basketball court, or a football field to make sure that there's no home team advantage built in. What if underneath the hockey ice, you had mechanical levers to raise one side a milli-inch?
I can't say I'm proud of them, but, almost as good, I'm at least NOT disgusted with two sites that I still follow, in spite of myself. Drudge and Dornsife. Here's Drudge's lead today.
2) I have to give it to them. That is not an unfair lead. Isn't the old school news term, "page 1, above the fold?" Data guy that I am, I have zero dispute with the reported numbers, such as they are. Do they follow the Rule of Law? We'll get into that below.
3) Now, you're just going to have to let me brag a bit here, you know, data guy that I am! Check out the one accurate chart at Dornsife out of all there completely wrong other charts all of them. You're gonna have to give this one to me.
In my social media journey, I used to debate with Democrats a great deal. Especially back in 2016. There was an ideal I attempted and sadly failed to achieve. Civil discourse where we disagree agreeably.
2) Here's what I found. We can always disagree agreeably for a time, if the other soul is willing to be courteous. Those who are not courteous I simply ignore, rapidly. I stopped blocking them since I learned that non-response succeeds. If you stop, they soon stop. It's awesome.
3) It's a critically important point. Our enemies thrive upon the energy we give them. The moment we stop giving them our energy they fall upon energy deficit. Lies do not energize the liar. Foolish credibility energizes liars. They seek rubes, dupes, fools.
Please watch the 3 1/2 minute video below, currently banned by Facebook. I don't know the number of Trump Democrats, or the real break among the Independents. I do know that they should all see this simple video.
2) What great misconception could have struck at the soul of America that we tolerate this? Can you imagine those who rebelled over a stamp tax and how they'd respond to suppression of voice? Consider, for a moment, why the 1st amendment is that, the 1st one.
