TGIF…Still 500K uncounted: “This is how things work in Arizona and have for decades,” okay?

That headline is one whopper of a lie. But I did find out some new info: The votes are counted in the order received, so the 500K outstanding are ballots cast or dropped off on election day. That actually favors the GOP candidates, since those votors would have been more liekly to vote in person or to personally submit their written ballot rather than mailing it into the Hobbsian machine. -nvp

Arizona still has nearly 500,000 ballots left to count

By AZFamily Digital News Staff and The Associated Press

PHOENIX (3TV/CBS 5/AP) — There are still nearly 500,000 ballots left to count statewide, most of them in metro Phoenix and Tucson…

Election officials in Maricopa County, which includes metro Phoenix and more than 60% of voters, are expected to begin reporting results Friday from a crucial group of ballots — nearly 300,000 mail ballots that were returned on Election Day. That group has swung wildly in recent election cycles, from strongly Democratic in the 2018 midterms to strongly Republican in 2020. The races will depend on whether those late-counted ballots look more like 2018 or 2020.

Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer and County Supervisor Bill Gates said on Thursday evening that they wouldn’t meet their goal of having 95% of the ballots counted by Friday…

“This is how things work in Arizona and have for decades,” said Gates. He said staff are working 14 to 18 hours a day and will continue through the weekend. “We are doing what we can and still maintaining accuracy,” Gates said…

Thinking that elections should be decided on election night is dangerous misinformation and a threat to democracy

As I post this, 9am Thursday, Arizona is still left with 30% of the vote uncounted. And if you think that’s not normal, you are a violent insurrectionist according to an AP article with no byline, okay? -nvp

Post-election misinformation targets Arizona, Pennsylvania

One claim focused on misleading explanations for the time it takes to count votes
Posted at 4:51 AM, Nov 10, 2022

The video on Fox News showed a Wisconsin poll worker initialing ballots before they were given to voters. It’s normal procedure on Election Day.

On Tuesday someone posted the clip to social media and claimed instead that it showed a Philadelphia election worker doctoring ballots…

It’s an example of Election Day misinformation that reveals how misleading claims emerge and travel, and how innocent events can be spun into the latest viral election hoax. It also shows the kind of baseless rumors and conspiracy theories that were reverberating around the internet Wednesday as candidates and far-right influencers sought to explain away losses and closer-than-expected races.

Maricopa County remained the epicenter of election misinformation Wednesday after problems with voter tabulation machines in that Arizona county spawned conspiracy theories about vote rigging. The claims spread despite explanations from local officials — including ones from both parties — and assurances that all votes would be counted.

In Pennsylvania, a woman who said she was a poll worker on a QAnon message board claimed ballot counting had ended, and that delays in vote counting are a smoke screen to cover fraud. That example was identified by the SITE Intelligence Group, a firm that monitors misinformation and extremism.

The U.S. has a long history of political races that weren’t settled on Election Day…

In the weeks before Nov. 8, election officials, voting advocates and misinformation researchers closely monitored social media content, given the role that misleading claims about voter fraud played in the deadly Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Misinformation about elections has also been blamed for deepening political divides and even an increased threat of political violence. In some cases Tuesday, conspiracy theories about election fraud prompted violent threats, particularly on fringe platforms and websites popular with far-right groups…

One of the most harmful aspects of misinformation about voting and elections is that it can erode faith in democracy itself.

400,000 votes still not counted in Maricopa County, officials hope they can get around to it by Friday

NB: We have had secure mail-in voting in Arizona for over 20 years. It wasn’t invented during covid to ensure The Steal as was done in many other swing states, and in many cases in violation of those state’s constitutions. In AZ, there is a signature-verification feature, it is very securely processed through USPS (no drop boxes for stuffing, except for a few heavily monitored ones)… and 70% of all votes are cast this way. If instead you vote at the polls on election day, ID is required, and ID checkers from both parties are present. There was never any problem with election integrity before 2020, and results were always known within hours of the polls closing. Lastly, have I mentioned that Katie Hobbs was never made to resign as Secretary of State, nor did she offer to resign her post, as decorum and propriety are so old and unwoke. Katie aside, I have total faith in this dude to ensure election integrity. -nvp

400,000 votes left to be counted in Maricopa County; officials hopeful to have results by Friday

PHOENIX (3TV/CBS 5) — Vote counting continued early Wednesday morning as many top-ticket races in Arizona remain too close to call.

Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer and County Supervisor Bill Gates joined reporters for an update just after 9 a.m. In that news conference, election officials stressed the record number of early ballots dropped on Election Day. More than 1.1 million ballots have already been entered. In total, about 400,000 ballots are left to be counted in Arizona’s most populated county. That’s a number that could swing several key races, including the heated gubernatorial race, which has narrowed in recent hours…

 

Never forget the steal!

 

When nearly every “ballot” that comes in after 8pm on election night goes to one candidate, you damn well better have a talking point for that

Originally posted on 

On November 3rd, 2020, most of us went to bed fairly confident that everything was going well, perhaps even better than planned. The Florida landslide was astonishing, and it bode very well for the nation. On Wednesday morning, as Trump’s big lead had vanished overnight in most of the swing states, I heard three different commentators on three different fake news networks utter nearly identical narratives to describe was occurring. Here, let Wiki explain it:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_shift_(politics)

It seemed strange to me, being no spring chicken, that I had never heard of such a thing. Yet every commentator and “election expert” was spouting this in strikingly similar terms, as if reading from a script. It’s settled election science! Moreover, there is zero chance this can be an established fact, because this is the first time a general election has been contested largely through mail-in ballots due to corona… which puts corona under even more scrutiny.

Now, wiki has this blockchain feature where you can go back in time and review every edit that was ever made to an article. See the “View history” button at the top right? Click on that, and it will show line by line every edit. Scroll down and click the link at bottom left that says “oldest.”

This will take you to the very beginning, the day the article was first created on wiki. Any guess as to when this “well established” political dynamic of Red Mirage/Blue Shift was first invented? How about 1 August 2020…

Just one more thing. Remember “14 Days to Flatten the Curve?” Remember how this was how they got everyone to shut everything down, go into lockdown, and start this entire spiral? “We have to follow the science, we can’t risk overwhelming the hospitals, this is well-established epidemiology, dammit, you’re just selfish and want to kill grandma.”

When do you think this well-established scientific fact was invented? How about 12 March 2020:

Early election night results might not indicate final tallies (and why that’s OK)

A “red mirage,” or an artificial GOP vote lead, will likely reoccur Tuesday.
November 7, 2022

 

As early Election Day results come in on Tuesday, it will likely appear that a Republican candidates vying for any number of the federal or statewide races appear to be leading their Democratic opponents, even by large margins.

Their leads will dwindle, or crumble completely, after perceived “dumps” of votes are recorded by state election officials who count mail-in and absentee ballots in the days — or even weeks — following Election Day.

This phenomenon was popularized as the “red mirage” or the “blue shift” after the 2020 presidential election, when former President Donald Trump took a deceptive lead in several competitive states on Election Day due to delays in counting of Democrats’ mail-in ballots — their preferred method of voting due to the COVID-19 pandemic — only to eventually dissipate when the entire reserve of votes was totaled.

The illusion was a principal component of Trump and his allies’ false claims that the contest was fraudulent upon his ultimate loss to Joe Biden…

Fauci seethes over ‘terrible’ booster uptake, blames ‘lies and misinformation’

Only 7% of Americans have received the mouse-tested shot.

By

Speaking at an awards ceremony over the weekend, retiring government bureaucrat Anthony Fauci expressed his dismay over the fact that Americans seem entirely uninterested in getting the latest Pfizer and Moderna booster shots.

We have a COVID vaccine and a booster that is matched very well to the circulating virus and yet only about 15% of people who have been vaccinated have gotten the boost, that is terrible,” Fauci raged, like a pharma rep who failed to meet his sales quota. “We’ve got to do better than that.”

In total, only about 7% of all Americans have taken the new shot, according to the CDC.

The boosters were only tested on mice, but approved for emergency use through the FDA’s rubber stamp partnership with Pfizer and Moderna.

There is no evidence that the boosters do anything beneficial to help combat Covid-19. Recent studies by both Columbia and Harvard found that the new boosters are no more effective than the old expired mRNA shots. Pfizer, which obviously has a conflict of interest in the matter, has released its own “study” claiming otherwise.

At the event, Fauci paradoxically received a humanitarian award named after Muhammad Ali, the anti-establishment, counter culture boxing icon who was persecuted by career government bureaucrats like Fauci for his refusal to serve in Vietnam. Fauci, for his part, avoided the draft by joining the NIH.

In his acceptance speech, the disgruntled bureaucrat expressed his disgust with Americans who refuse to follow Government Health orders.

“I want to encourage the young people here today but really throughout this country to reject a key ill that is currently tearing apart civil society,” he started.

“What I refer to as the normalization of untruths. Put more bluntly, the normalization of lies that we see all around us. Now, helped along by social media, facts and falsehoods now coexist as sometimes equals, deliberately sowing confusion and discord, and distorting reality,” he continued. “It is easy to become so inured to the ubiquity of misinformation that we simply accept it.”

Speaking of lies and misinformation…

If you think your opponent is a Nazi, would it be your moral duty to defeat him/her in any way possible?

This is a serious question.

In 2017, Katie Hobbs was an Arizona state senator who thought Trump was the neo-Hitler leader of the neo-Nazis.

 

By 2020, Katie Hobbs was Arizona Secretary of State, in charge of overseeing elections. As in, the 2020 General Election. Did she have a “moral duty” to stop him? Has anyone asked her?

Oh wait, questioning elections is a threat to democracy, you terrorist.

In 2020, Katie Hobbs is running for Governor against a MAGA, Trump-endorsed, election denier Kari Lake. Katie Hobbs, incredibly, did not have to resign her position in order to run; she is still Secretary of State.

If you believe MAGA=Nazi, and that J6 was an armed insurrection, and that questioning elections is a threat to democracy, what are your moral imperatives? Katie Hobbs, call your office.

New audio uncovered from Event 201 plandemic launch announcement from WEF-Gates-Hopkins hell mouth

Exclusive: The Dossier uncovers WEF-Gates Event 201 launch announcement from Davos 2019

“The exercise will be called Event 201 in honor of the… potential pandemic.”

By

The Dossier has obtained the audio from the first announcement for Event 201, the Gates Foundation and World Economic Forum sponsored war-game simulation that took place in October 2019, in which a fictional coronavirus passed from an animal reservoir to humans, where organizers warned of a “similar pandemic in the future.”

The announcement was once available on the internet but pulled offline for reasons unknown. The Dossier has unearthed the audio clip that confirms the plan for Event 201 was hatched at the WEF’s Davos 2019. The theme of Davos that year was “Globalization 4.0: Shaping a Global Architecture in the Age of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.”

The remarkable similarities and the timing between Event 201 and the actual coronavirus pandemic has led to questions about whether the parties to the simulation had prior knowledge of what would happen in the coming weeks and months ahead. Moreover, the stakeholders who sponsored and participated in Event 201 would unanimously benefit enormously from the pandemic and wield monopolistic power in pandemic policymaking.

As the Dossier recently reported, we discovered that the first public announcement for Event 201 was made on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum’s 2019 annual meeting in Davos. Thanks to the work of our valuable online sleuths, we’ve obtained the recorded audio from the panel, which was not available online.

Before we get to the clip, here’s some background:

On January 23, 2019, Tom Inglesby, the director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, announced the plan for Event 201, in partnership with the Gates Foundation and the World Economic Forum. His organization would later host the event in New York City just weeks before the pandemic broke out. Inglesby, for his part, would later become a senior adviser in the Biden White House. He tweeted out the announcement after he delivered his remarks. As the Dossier has reported, the first person to retweet the announcement was Ron Klain, who would later become the Biden White House chief of staff.

Inglesby made the Event 201 announcement during a panel on “Acting Against A Risk That Business Cannot Ignore,” which took place in the SDG (short for U.N. Sustainable Development Goals) tent at Davos 2019. The panel was sponsored by UPS and Johnson & Johnson. It featured top executives at J&J and Merck, the executive director of the Bill Gates-controlled Global Fund, and the president of the UPS Foundation.

The Dossier has transcribed some of the audio from Inglesby’s announcement “highlighting an upcoming event,” which is available in full below. Here are some of the interesting quotes:

Now imagine that in this coming year, with 200 epidemic events already straining resources around the world, we have an event two hundred and one. Event 201. But this event is the severe pandemic that we’ve all been preparing for and working to avoid and mitigate.”

“So how would the WHO and national governments respond if this occurred in 2019? What would be the impact on global business?”

“And could global businesses help national governments and international NGOs, UN organizations, to dramatically diminish the impact of the pandemic.”

“We are excited to announce that our Center is working with WEF (World Economic Forum) and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to hold a major pandemic exercise in October of 2019 which will draw together global business and the WHO and national government to consider these issues and shine a light on them and see if we can identify paths forward.”

The exercise will be called Event 201 in honor of the, uh, potential pandemic. It will involve global business leaders, officials from national governments and international organizations.”

Bill Gates has emphasized over and over again in his public announcements how important it is to have security aligned with national government and public health in a pandemic event like this.

It has even led to the development of new vaccines and the stockpiling of vaccines, and major legislation has resulted.”

“To get a scope of the kinds of challenges and intensity of the exercise we are planning for October of 2019, we have a very short movie trailer that came … to get you in the mood of what this exercise is going to be like.”

*trailer clip plays*

Quotes from trailer:

“We are continuing our coverage of a new and deadly infectious disease.”

“The creation and intentional release of the clade-x virus.

“Federal quarantine on this scale is unprecedented”

“The question everywhere: when will there be a vaccine?”

“They know that we don’t have a vaccine yet. They want vaccines to be prioritized.”

“More than 40 countries are reporting outbreaks and many more are suspected of having cases.”

“What the world will look like when it’s done is still very uncertain.”

*Back to Inglesby*

“We know that exercises can unsettle people, can open eyes, and generate new action.”

The Dossier has provided the audio obtained from the full panel. The Inglesby announcement begins at 45:45 in the audio clip below.

Understanding the difference between free speech and so-called “religious liberty”

“…Is support of “tolerance of free-speech” the same as an acceptance of Vatican II’s “religious-liberty”?  No.  I reject the modernist notion of “religious liberty” precisely because error has no rights.  Rights come from God and God can not give rights to follow a false-religion.  The Catholic Church has never believed in forced-conversions, so in some sense she believes in religious-tolerance, but never religious-liberty.  At least, not before Vatican II.

“The problem with the modernist-notion of religious-liberty is that it assumes that rights on matters of religion come from man.  They don’t.  They come from God.  And the Blessed Trinity can not give you a “right” to be a satanist.  Or a Hindu.  Or a Muslim.  God’s permissive will (or passive will) permits such error to engulf swathes of billions of people, but God has given no “rights” to any such dangerous errors that lead to hell.  Is this even controversial?  Yes, but how did we get to the point of even thinking this is controversial?  Because superiors didn’t want to be “mean” to heretics like Teilhard de Chardin about a hundred years ago.

“Again, that key line from Archbishop Chaput was, “Evil preaches tolerance until it is dominant, and then it tries to silence good.”

“We have reached that boiling-point of no free-speech in the Church, so I propose that we have no hope in establishing the Social Reign of Christ the King until we purge the global Catholic hierarchy of its errors (nearly to-a-man) of religious liberty, ecumenism and collegiality/synodality.  Projects like “synodality” persecute anyone on the right, despite the left’s deceitful mantras like “dialogue” and “accompaniment.” Such catch-phrases reveal a hierarchy open exclusively to more errors of liberalism, not the truth of Divine Revelation…”
