2) To very briefly summarize and review, Dave has found one of the greatest bulwarks of the corrupt Democrat Machine in Illinois. Removing that safeguard will decimate its evil power. That safeguard is a completely corrupted voter roll.
3) Turn with me towards DC, now. As Americans, and as the MAGA Movement, we decided to #DrainTheSwamp in 2016. The very fact of 2020's stolen election indicates we failed, for the time being. We did NOT drain the Swamp. Not yet.
4) This is why you should take the time to read yesterday's thread. As The Swamp is to America, the Democrat Machine is to Illinois. As #ElectionFraud is to America, #VoterRollFraud is to Illinois. Voter Roll Fraud is the reason @shestokas is running for IL AG.
5) If you're following our story, you know Dave is more than just an attorney at law. He is a Constitutional scholar, I believe our greatest today. More, he has analyzed our Declaration as has no other student of Thomas Jefferson's.
6) Enter the @ILConservUnion and their mission to #CleanseTheVoterRoll for Illinois. We'll be following their mission in great detail in coming days and weeks. Right now, though, you can head over here to learn more about their Election Integrity Program.
7) There is a basic logic that corrupt actors employ. It is one of our failures of comprehension that we tend to think about corruption shallowly, even as if it were irrational. Nothing could be further from the truth. The corrupt understand civics at deep and profound levels.
8) They also understand the mechanics of action. What can you do, and get away with? How do you go about that? Who will do what, when, how, and where will they do it? How do we ensure that they will execute per specification? Who watches our minions, keeping them in line?
9) What Dave discovered is this. There is a Board of Elections in Illinois, tasked with maintaining #ElectionIntegrity. But, as opposed to performing its mission properly, honorably, it is one of the great sources of power for #TheMachine.
10) Illinois is actually a deep red state. It is simply controlled, with a near totalitarian power by its completely corrupt #DemocratMachine. How, exactly, does such a machine enjoy such near-limitless power? It controls the vote. Completely.
11) Traditionally, we think of vote control as accomplished by the carrot and stick of government jobs or contracts, vs getting fired from your cushy job or your contract going to another bidder. These are powerful. They can be termed #Patronage.
12) #PatronageIsntEnough. By itself, as far reaching as it is, patronage alone could not provide #TheMachine with its vast power, and self-protective capability. No, there has to be a different form of cover. Government corruption itself surely plays in.
13) For instance, for a reasonable fee we can readily ensure that your building permit goes though, and certify most certainly that there are no building code violations. Smooth sailing, my friend. Or...
14) It's still not enough. Nope. What Dave discovered is the very means of controlling the outcome of the vote. In its essence it is so simple, it is pure elegance of corrupt power. No one leaves the voter roll. Ever. You move? You have two voter registrations now. Voila.
15) You were born in Italy in 1890. You immigrated here in 1920. You were made a naturalized citizen in 1932. You died in 1972. That allows #TheMachine 49 years so far, of perfect control over your right to vote. Let death NOT do us part. Oh no! We own your vote eternally.
16) This is the genius of the @ILConservUnion's Election Integrity Program. All they're asking is for the Illinois Board of Elections to comply with Federal Law and #CleanseTheVoterRoll. Now, when Dave signed on to represent them, he understood that.
17) What shocked Dave was when he discovered who was representing the Board of Elections AGAINST this humble, lawful request. Yep, you got it. It was the Attorney General of the State of Illinois thumbing his nose at the law, scorning any such duty.
18) Make this mechanical, in order to truly understand it. There on the Voter Roll are...how many thousands, 10s of thousands, 100s of thousands of dead or relocated voters whose right to vote has been transferred to #TheMachine? More? Who actually executes those votes, and how?
19) This much I can tell you. It is NOT disorganized. It is well managed to be sure. There is a hierarchy. Management and workers. Systems are in place and they run smoothly. These corrupt souls are not, actually, bad people, even. They're regular folk just doing their job.
20) Some of them know what they're doing is wrong. But how wrong? And after all, everyone's got to work, right? Bills to pay, etc. This is just the way it is. You can't fight city hall, and especially not when you work for it. You just mark a box on a sheet of paper and go again.
21) But then there are evil people. They run the show. They know precisely how many people will die or move this year, and how many additional votes they will then control thereby. And they know that the corrupted voter roll must be protected at all costs.
22) #TheMachine places safe, dependable people into those positions such as the Attorney General of Illinois and the members of the Board of Elections. Not one of those people has even the slightest chance of doing the right thing on his own. They are controlled by #TheMachine.
23) I want, no, I need to be clear about something here. There are things I "know" by analysis. And, there are things I know by facts. It is a fact that the AG of IL has rejected the request to comply with Federal Law. This is a matter of indisputable record.
24) I do NOT KNOW the mechanics of the corruption by indisputable fact. Rather, I "know" it by analysis. If you've followed my work, you know one of my greatest principles is Cui Bono, who benefits? I should introduce, also, Quam Bono, how does one benefit?
25) While highly complex in application, a more prosaic, a truly simple question - Why? - is something we do again and again in what is called Root Cause Analysis. Why keep the voter rolls filled with moved or dead people? Why NOT comply with Federal Law? Why? Or, why not?
26) To me, it is actually just simple common sense that if an Attorney General of a state thumbs his nose at Federal Law there has to be a rational, logical reason he's doing so. My instant answer, over which I have zero doubt, is pure corruption, pure and simple.
27) As to the how, I grew up in Chicago. My father had a marvelous attorney. My father never paid a speeding or traffic ticket, ever. He simply gave his marvelous attorney a very reasonable fee, and in court, no judge ever convicted my father of his minor infractions of law.
28) Why are there still dead people on the voter rolls? They're free votes, waiting to be executed by a minion of #TheMachine, that's why. No, I can't prove that. Ha. Who can disprove it, I ask? And if so, then why not comply with Federal Law? Come on, man!
29) So there's this Dave guy, an attorney, representing a small outfit leans conservative, wanting Federal Law to be complied with, but no, not gonna happen. Are you kidding? The Illinois Board of Elections has no requirement it comply with Law. None. Nope. None.
30) Well then, how does a little David decide to go fight this vast Goliath? In our next episode we'll dive into that question. In the meantime, maybe you can help. How does this corruption actually work? Think you can get us some facts? Please do if you can!
The brilliant tweet below, by my friend @FloridaBoyMedia, solved a YUGE problem for me. Why did @realDonaldTrump support @kevinomccarthy for speaker? Until the tweet below, I could not square that circle. Now I can.
2) The simple fact is that McCArthy is a natural enemy of Trump's, and of the #MAGA Movement, exactly as Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell are. All of us sycophantic Trump supporters wanted him to be a temporary Speaker, himself. Alas.
3) Thing is, if we know nothing else about Trump, we know he does business with his enemies. Think of Kim Jong Un. No missile tests during Trump's administration. And how many since Let's Go Brandon? It ain't zero.
2) I was not in DC for the 6 January 2021 Rally. I wanted to go. Fiercely. It wounded my ego to NOT go. Allow me a martial arts term: Zanshin. It comes from the Samurai and means your sense of threat or danger. For the Samurai it was almost a mystical concept.
3) In Akira Kurosawa's great film The 7 Samurai (which was the basis of the Magnificent 7), there is a scene in which a Samurai being recruited and tested, refuses to walk past an open door, which was, in fact, hiding an attacker. He was the greatest recruit. That was Zanshin.
1/ I have now watched our podcast below. If you haven't seen it yet, find the time. It's worth it. I sure wish I could learn to make my eyes look at the camera instead of the person's face on screen. Alas.
2/ As to the coming thread, though, I walk away feeling some other ground needs to be covered. Try to stick tight if you can. Look at this list:
1) Doctrine 2) Strategy 3) Tactics 4) Execution
Why does it seem the other side has all four, but we only have the last two?
3/ I want you to try to answer that question for yourself, and my spoiler alert is for the next tweet, not this one. And by all means, please comment. Let me know what your thoughts are, please.
Can you say "getting into the weeds?" I don't imagine too many will care, but for some strange reason I've decided I want to know about the Rules Package. So, here's the best version of the current package I've yet found.
2) The PDF above is the one they call "The 55 Pages."
So, knowing I do not know this language, I decide to just start reading and here's a screenshot of the first thing I find.
3) Who knew? Who had any idea? the 118th Congress begins its own rules by adopting the rules from the 117th Congress. I'd never have imagined. Okay, a bit of searching - it does NOT pop right up - and, I found this:
General Flynn's voice is heard strong and clear. He pulls incredible audiences. His analysis and writings are very powerful as well. Here's his New Year's guidance!
2) We'll walk through his counsel in detail later in this thread (which may take a few days to complete). But let's cut straight to the chase. @elonmusk, can you give General Flynn his Twitter account back, please?
3) No, @elonmusk, there is not - to my knowledge - a major Twitter story behind the unhinged attacks that our government executed against General Flynn and his family. But, the simple fact of his purging from Twitter is, in its own right, an important story.
Analysis 4 - 31 December 2022 - Hammer & Scorecard
Do you follow @maryclairerose? If not, please do so right now! She will be our guide in today's work. She's one of our very best analyst/writers, period.
2) We'll dive into @maryclairerose's work in a moment. First, I have a bit of backstory to share. I met Marcy Claire in 2016. I'll never forget the call I got, shortly after we met, where Mary Claire explained the illegality of Obama's money drop to Iran. Who remembers that?
3) Mary Claire always combines brilliance with patriotic passion. Throw in far more than anyone's fair share of writing talent and you start to get the picture. As I recall it, none of her editors were willing to run with her scoop.
