Washington Post Propagandist Laughs That Military-Industrial Complex Lied to President Trump to Keep Troops in Syria | 13 Nov 2020 | A Washington Post propagandist who takes paychecks from military contractor Jeff Bezos is laughing on social media about Pentagon officials lying to President Donald Trump in order to keep U.S. troops in Syria. WaPo reporter Liz Sly laughed about the news in a couple of disgraceful Twitter posts. "US officials have been lying to Trump -- and the American people -- about the true number of US troops in Syria in order to deter him from withdrawing them, according to the outgoing Syria envoy. Trump thinks it's 200," Sly wrote in the tweet -- adding laughing while crying emojis. After Sly was called out for being a monster, she backtracked and attempted to put the blame on President Trump for the treasonous warmongers in the military-industrial complex.

US military anticipates Trump will issue order to plan for further troop withdrawals from Afghanistan and Iraq | 16 Nov 2020 | US military commanders are anticipating that a formal order will be given by President Donald Trump as soon as this week to begin a further withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan and Iraq before Trump leaves office on January 20, according to two US officials familiar. The Pentagon has issued a notice to commanders known as a "warning order" to begin planning to drawdown the number of troops in Afghanistan to 2,500 troops and 2,500 in Iraq by Jan 15, the officials said. Currently there are approximately 4,500 US troops in Afghanistan and 3,000 troops in Iraq.

New SecDef Advisor Wants U.S. Troops Out of Afghanistan --Col. Macgregor has said the U.S. should 'run' out of Afghanistan | 11 Nov 2020 | The Pentagon confirmed with Axios on Wednesday that retired Army Col. Douglas Macgregor has been hired as a senior advisor to acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller, who replaced Mark Esper on Monday. Macgregor has been outspoken in his belief that the US should immediately withdraw from Afghanistan. His appointment means President Trump's Pentagon shake-up could lead to bringing troops home from conflict zones before January 20th, as sources have suggested to multiple media outlets. In January, Macgregor told Fox News host Tucker Carlson that President Trump should fulfill his promise to end the war in Afghanistan: "There is one man, only one man who can take decisive action and end this. His name is Donald Trump. He promised to do that a long time ago. He's disappointed a lot of us because he hasn't," Macgregor said.

US presidential election: China congratulates Joe Biden | 13 Nov 2020 | China has congratulated Joe Biden on being elected the next US president – a week after the Democratic candidate declared he had secured enough Electoral College votes to enter the White House. "We respect the choice of the American people, and we express our congratulations to Mr Biden and Ms Harris," Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said on Friday, referring to US Vice-President-elect [sic] Kamala Harris. But Wang said China understood that the election results would be confirmed following procedures in accordance with US law.

'Never Bet Against Me': Trump Confident He'll Get to 270 Electoral College Votes | 13 Nov 2020 | President Donald Trump, in a new interview, said he is confident that he will get to 270 Electoral College votes when all legal challenges, canvasses, audits, and recounts are resolved. Trump told the Washington Examiner that he heard many people tell him that he should concede in recent days, but he's going to continue to fight. He issued a light-hearted warning to people telling him there is no hope: "Never bet against me." "We're going to win Wisconsin," Trump told the Examiner. "Arizona--it'll be down to 8,000 votes, and if we can do an audit of the millions of votes, we’ll find 8,000 votes easy. If we can do an audit, we'll be in good shape there..."

Federal Election Commission Chair Calls Election 'Illegitimate' Due to Voter Fraud --'The law is not being followed, making this an illegitimate election.' | 12 Nov 2020 | Trey Trainor, the Chairman of the Federal Election, stated during an appearance on Newsmax this Thursday that he "does believe there's voter fraud taking place," and confirmed that the refusal to allow poll watchers to observe the ballot counting process - among numerous other irregularities - does indeed constitute an "illegitimate election." "I do believe that there is voter fraud taking place in these places," Trainor said. "Otherwise they would allow the observers to go in." "When you have claims of 10,000 people who don't live in the state of Nevada having voted in Nevada, when you have the video showing where people are either duplicating a spoiled ballot right there, or they're in the process of just marking a ballot that came in blank for a voter, that’s a process that needs to be observed by election observers," Trainor said. The FEC Chairman added that poll observers are legally allowed to be present during the counting of ballots, and if they are refused entry to a place where the vote is being tabulated then "the law is not being followed, making this an illegitimate election."

Michigan Witness: GOP Poll Challengers Were Assaulted at TCF Center trying to Protect the Vote --GOP challengers were prevented from seeing ballots --Witness says: 'The most crooked thing I've ever seen' | 12 Nov 2020 | Absentee ballots from Wayne County/Detroit were supposed to be counted by 8:00 PM on election night last week, but a 3:30 AM delivery of what witnesses have described as 50-61 boxes of ballots puts into doubt the validity of the surprising election results. That surprise brought a commanding Trump lead of 300,000 votes for Michigan's 16 electoral votes into a 120,000 vote deficit after votes from Wayne County were counted. Ann Rudisill went down to the counting area after hearing that a large batch of suspicious ballots had arrived in the middle of the night. Rudisill noticed a total lack of security at the TCF Center when she entered. "There was no sign in sheet. There was nothing. Maybe a hundred of us walked in there." She described poll challengers as being purposefully prevented from being able to review the ballots as they were being counted on Wednesday, the day after the election, by poll workers and Democrat Poll Challengers. "I was completely unable to see the ballots."

Trump Tweets: 'Dominion Deleted 2.7 Million Trump Votes Nationwide. Data Analysis Finds 221,000 Pennsylvania Votes Switched From President Trump to Biden - Report' | 12 Nov 2020 | President Donald Trump on Thursday tweeted the following: "'REPORT: DOMINION DELETED 2.7 MILLION TRUMP VOTES NATIONWIDE. DATA ANALYSIS FINDS 221,000 PENNSYLVANIA VOTES SWITCHED FROM PRESIDENT TRUMP TO BIDEN. 941,000 TRUMP VOTES DELETED. STATES USING DOMINION VOTING SYSTEMS SWITCHED 435,000 VOTES FROM TRUMP TO BIDEN.' @ChanelRion @OANN"

Pennsylvania court: Secretary of state lacked authority to change deadline 2 days before Election —Judge ruled ballots that were previously set aside should not be counted | 12 Nov 2020 | A Pennsylvania judge ruled in favor of the Trump campaign Thursday, ordering that the state may not count ballots where the voters needed to provide proof of identification and failed to do so by Nov. 9. State law said that voters have until six days after the election -- this year that was Nov. 9 -- to cure problems regarding a lack of proof of identification. After the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled that mail-in ballots could be accepted three days after Election Day, Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar submitted guidance that said proof of identification could be provided up until Nov. 12, which is six days from the ballot acceptance deadline. That guidance was issued two days before Election Day. "[T]he Court concludes that Respondent Kathy Boockvar, in her official capacity as Secretary of the Commonwealth, lacked statutory authority to issue the November 1, 2020, guidance to Respondents County Boards of Elections insofar as that guidance purported to change the deadline...for certain electors to verify proof of identification,” Judge Mary Hannah Leavitt said in a court order.

Trump Lawsuit Alleges Rampant Violations at Detroit Vote Counting Center | 11 Nov 2020 | President Donald Trump's reelection campaign sued Michigan in federal court late on Nov. 10, alleging pervasive violations of election laws at a vote-counting center in Detroit. The lawsuit is accompanied by 234 pages of sworn witness affidavits which describe how Republican poll challengers were prevented from having adequate access to observe the counting process in violation of Michigan's election code. The witnesses detail a battery of problems with the handling, processing, and counting of the votes, including instances in which election officials ignored their challenges.

Analysis of Election Night Data From All States Show Millions of Votes Either Switched From President to Biden or Were Lost - Using Dominion and Other Systems | 10 Nov 2020 | Tonight we have obtained an unaudited analysis of data available for all the states looking for system glitches and other oddities in vote counts related to the Presidential race only. Last night we reported on another so called system 'glitch,' this time in a county in Wisconsin. Evidence was provided to us that showed that the vote totals for Rock County appeared to be switched between President Trump and Joe Biden. 9,516 votes were eliminated from President Trump and moved to Joe Biden. This 19,032 vote difference when corrected would eliminate Biden's lead in Wisconsin.

2020 Election Results: President Donald Trump wins North Carolina | 13 Nov 2020 | President Donald Trump is the apparent [?] winner of the tightly contested race in North Carolina. On Friday, counties in North Carolina must submit their final vote tallies, including all provisional and absentee ballots. As votes were added to the unofficial results, it became clear that Trump had received more votes than challenger Joe Biden.  [As it was on the evening on November 3rd, so why the ten-day wait?] Trump's victory in North Carolina is worth an extra 15 electoral college votes. That brings the president to 232.

Georgia Secretary of State Announces Full Hand Recount of Presidential Race | 11 Nov 2020 | Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said Wednesday that the state will carry out a manual hand recount of ballots cast during the Nov. 3 election in the midst of allegations of voter fraud, mismanagement, and irregularities. "This will help build confidence. It will be an audit, a recount, and a recanvas all at once,” Raffensperger, a Republican, stated at a press conference... So far, 97 counties in Georgia have sent in the final numbers to the state, he said in a news conference. Currently, Democratic candidate Joe Biden leads President Donald Trump by 14,111 votes, vowing that his office has been investigating any reports of irregularities. "Every legal vote will count," he said.

Leading 'anti-racist' prof calls the term 'legal vote' 'racist' --Boston University professor Ibram Kendi said that the term 'legal vote' is 'fictionally fraught' and 'racist.' | 10 Nov 2020 | Boston University professor and head of the school's Center for Antiracist Research Ibram X. Kendi criticized the use of the term "legal vote." "The term 'legal vote' is as fictionally fraught and functionally racist as the terms 'illegal alien' and 'race neutral' and 'welfare queen' and 'handouts' and 'super predator' and 'crackbaby' and 'personal responsibility' and 'post racial,'"said Kendi on Twitter... The term "legal vote" arose after the results of the 2020 election, which the Trump campaign is currently challenging due to widespread allegations of voter fraud.

Joe Biden's 'Transition' Aide Helped Steer $3M to Hunter Biden-Linked Firm | 13 Nov 2020 | A top aide to former Vice President Joe Biden's 'transition' team once helped steer 3 million in taxpayer d-llars to a Hunter Biden-linked venture capital firm. Last week, Bloomberg reported that Don Graves, a high-ranking executive at Key Bank, has been tasked to advise Biden on financial regulation issues during the transition process. Graves, who worked for the former vice president during the Obama administration, has been a long time fixture in the Biden family orbit. As Peter Schweizer, a senior contributor at Breitbart News and the president of the Government Accountability Institute, revealed in Profiles in Corruption, that relationship benefited Hunter Biden's business interests on at least one occasion.

Trump Issues Order to End Investments in Chinese Military Companies | 12 Nov 2020 | President Donald Trump on Nov. 12 issued an executive order to stop investments in Chinese companies that are tied to China's military, citing threats to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States. The order came in response to rising concerns over pension and retirement fund flows into foreign companies that support China's totalitarian regime. It targets China's military companies, including those designated by the Pentagon in June and August of 2020. Beijing "is increasingly exploiting United States capital to resource and to enable the development and modernization of its military, intelligence, and other security apparatuses," the order states. The Chinese Communist Party, through its aggressive national strategy called "Military-Civil Fusion," uses Chinese companies to strengthen the People's Liberation Army (PLA).

Chicago ordering a 30-day stay-at-home advisory starting Monday | 12 Nov 2020 | The city of Chicago on Thursday announced a 30-day stay-at-home advisory to take effect next week as Illinois and other states across the country are experiencing a rapid surge in COVID-19 cases. Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D), who announced the order in a news conference Thursday afternoon, said the city would also be imposing other restrictions on gatherings and public activities, which Lightfoot said "calls on all Chicagoans to follow clear measures to protect their community and help us flatten the curve." The measures, scheduled to take effect 6 a.m. Monday, urge Chicago residents to only leave their homes for essential activities, such as school or grocery shopping, not hold gatherings with anyone outside of a person's immediate household, avoid all nonessential travel and to not gather in person with friends and extended family on holidays such as Thanksgiving.

Air travellers to Canada now forced to submit COVID info online before entering country --Canada mandates travellers give COVID-19 info digitally or face fine. | 11 Nov 2020 | Canada's government is mandating that travellers provide COVID-19 information digitally through the ArriveCAN software when entering the country or face a fine of up to a 1,000. The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) announced earlier this month that effective November 21, "air travellers whose final destination is Canada will be required to submit their information electronically through ArriveCAN before they board their flight." "Travellers who do not submit the required information digitally before boarding their flight could be subject to enforcement action, which can range from verbal warnings to 1,000 fine," the November 2 PHAC release stated.

Pfizer's CEO sold $5.6 million in stock on same day of vaccine news | 10 Nov 2020 | Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla sold $5.6 million worth of stock on Monday -- the same day it said its and BioNTech's coronavirus vaccine showed 90% effectiveness in preliminary results, which saw the company's stock soaring almost 8%. The stock sale is legal through a predetermined plan called Rule 10b5-1, but the optics aren't great. A Pfizer spokesperson did not add any new information in a statement, saying the sale was part of a predetermined plan created in August.
