THE ABJECT COWARDICE OF AMERICA’S JUDICIARY

”Battle is the most magnificent competition in which a human being can indulge. It brings out all that is best; it removes all that is base. All men are afraid in battle. The coward is the one who lets his fear overcome his sense of duty.”  General George S. Patton
Several weeks ago, we worried that the judges and justices, state and federal, may not have the courage to take up the cases before them addressing the massive election fraud that took place November 3.  Now we know they are all cowards, the Constitution be damned.

Even the three SCOTUS justices Trump fought for were too terrified to do the right thing.

The intimidation tactics of the left — Antifa, BLM, and the campus fascists — have worked.  They have frightened each and every judge and justice, with the not surprising exceptions of Clarence Thomas and Sam Alito, into disregarding Articles II and III of the Constitution.  They are all scaredy-cats, like little children running from bullies.

DETAILS ON GIGANTIC DEM VOTE FRAUD IN JUST ONE COUNTY

The first inkling Americans had that there was something going on with voting machines came when Antrim County, Michigan admitted that its computer had a "glitch" and gave 6,000 Trump votes to Biden.

County officials quickly backtracked, calling it "human error," but it was too late.  The computer fraud cat was out of the bag.  Now, thanks to a judge pushing past the Michigan secretary of state's effort to suppress information, we can finally see the preliminary forensics report on Antrim County's Dominion systems.  This post summarizes the highlights.

Russell Ramsland, of Allied Security Operations Group, LLC (ASOG), wrote the report.  You may be familiar with him from videos like above.  If you haven't watched the video, I recommend it, because it's a great overview of how computer systems can be used for fraudulent elections.

SEVEN STATE LEGISLATURES CHOOSE COMPETING ELECTORS TO ILLEGAL DEM ONES

GOP legislators blocked by police, Lansing MI 12/14/20
GOP legislators blocked by police, Lansing MI 12/14/20

Yesterday (12/14), Republicans in Pennsylvania, Arizona, Georgia, Wisconsin, New Mexico, and Nevada entered competing slates of electors for President Donald Trump on Monday as Electoral College members in six contested battleground states officially cast their ballots for Democrat Joe Biden.

And please add Michigan.  Although initially blocked by state authorities, a delegation of 16 Michigan Republican Electors were eventually able to convene and cast their ballots for President Trump, bringing the tally to seven states entering competing slates.

By casting conditional votes for Trump, the GOP electors have set up an epic showdown in a joint session of Congress next month on January 6 when lawmakers convene to count the electoral votes and officially declare the winner.

WHAT NOW?

coolidge-quoteSome eighty million Trump voters (plus ten or twenty million likeminded others) have slowly woken up to a dystopic situation: People who want to raise families, do meaningful work and be left alone, have found themselves to be the playthings of lunatics.

The system they expected to support them had seen better days, to be sure, but in one short year they saw it become something they never would have imagined.

What, then, are such people – you, me, us – to do? The support system they were committed to has not only let them down but stabbed them in the back, and repeatedly.

What to do is the question of the moment. And so, having some small experience with such things, I’ll give you several points to consider. What you do will be your choice, of course, but please do something. Do not sit and hope that things will work themselves out. If that worked, we wouldn’t be in this situation.

THE TRAGIC FAILURE OF BILL BARR

barr-dissapoints-trump_tweets I used to be a big fan of Attorney General William Barr. No more.

Now, as of Dec. 14, 2020, he’s gone, effective Dec. 23, almost a month before the actual end of a Trump administration, assuming that happens.

Technically, Barr resigned, accompanied by the usual complimentary letter to the president, but something obviously went wrong in his relationship with Donald Trump.  What was it?

SKYE’S LINKS 12/17/20

white-bullFor investors; I hope that the wheels will stay on long enough for Biden/Harris to become the next Herbert Hoover:

BofA: Central Banks Are Buying $1.3 Billion In Assets Every Hour, Creating A "Frankenbull" Market

Biden has not been sworn in, yet the overproduced elite predators are already fighting over access to power in his administration.  Expect a great deal more of such discord:

Did BLM Leak Compromising Biden Comments After Being Shunned From Race Debate?

I think that it is all too likely that China will invade Taiwan during the next 4 years.  Jack Wheeler thinks it could be as soon as next year “if Cadaver cheats his way into the Oval Office”:

FLASHBACK FRIDAY – EVEREST NORTH FACE

north-face-of-everestMy first Everest expedition was in October, 1987. I took this photo climbing above the Rongbuk Monastery. The enormous North Face of Mount Everest is entirely in Tibet.  The summit at 8,848 meters/29,029 feet is in the jet stream with the plume flowing left along the Northeast Ridge, the climbing route of Mallory and Irvine in 1924.

On the back side of the ridge is the Kangshung Face, also in Tibet.  On the right side is the West Ridge, the border between Tibet and Nepal.  At the right time of year, the setting sun turns the whole North Face bright pink.  At any time of year on a clear day like this, you are witnessing one of the most magnificent sights our planet has to offer.

WHAT WOULD HE THINK OF US?

xikrin-kayapo-tribesman This Xikrin-Kayapo tribesman and his people live in the deepest heart of the Brazilian Amazon on tributaries of the Xingu River. You wonder what he would think of us as panic, fear, and madness engulfs our civilization. Having spent time in his village not long ago, I’m confident he would simply shake his head in bewilderment and say, “Please just let us live our lives in our forest, that’s all we want.”

True indigenous tribes who keep to their traditional way of life are so rare now in the Amazon or anywhere else where they once flourished. Each one is a precious living cultural heritage of humanity. It is such a privilege when they share their way of life with you. They deserve to have their wish granted, as my tribesman friend would express it. (Glimpses of Our Breathtaking World #4 photo ©Jack Wheeler)

ELEPHANTS IN THE SAHARA

©2019 Jack Wheeler10,000 years ago, the Sahara was green, with lakes, rivers, and such an abundance of animals it was a hunting paradise for people who lived here. You’ll find their petroglyphs carved on to rock outcroppings like this that my son Jackson and I found on a Trans-Sahara Expedition in 2003.

The Milankovitch astronomical cycles that drive Earth’s climate produced a West African monsoon that greened the Sahara back then. When the cycles shifted ending the monsoon, the Sahara turned dry desert as it remains today. Political cycles that permitted a peaceful crossing of the world’s greatest desert have also shifted, making this too dangerous now.

A Trans-Sahara Expedition is one of the world’s great adventures. Hopefully, one will be possible again in the not-too-distant future. (Glimpses of Our Breathtaking World #7 photo ©Jack Wheeler)

THE MYSTERY OF THE REEF OF HEAVEN

reef-of-heaven In a remote corner of the Pacific Ocean, off the island of Pohnpei in Micronesia lies one of the world’s great archaeological mysteries: the only ancient stone city built on a coral reef. No one knows who built it or how.

Micronesians say their ancestors called it Soun Nan-leng, The Reef of Heaven. Their name for it today is Nan Madol, the City of Ghosts.

On artificial islets connected by a series of canals are massive walls up to 25 feet high enclosing temples, tombs, ritual centers, and platforms for thatch homes – all made of giant columnar basalt stone. Eons ago, lava flows on Pohnpei cooled into vertical pillars. Over a thousand years ago, ancient Micronesians began hauling these basalt logs miles away to build this stone city. With an average weight of 5 tons, 10,000 pounds – and some up to 25 tons, 50,000 pounds each – how they did this remains unexplained. It lies deserted today, abandoned and lost for centuries.

Paddling a kayak through the canal maze of Nan Madol to clamber over these monumental stone complexes in solitary silence – for visitors are rarely here – leaves you in a state of unforgettable awe. (Glimpses of Our Breathtaking World #6 Photo ©Jack Wheeler)

THE GRAND PRISMATIC SPRING OF YELLOWSTONE

yellowstone-prismatic-spring There are places in our world so staggeringly beautiful you have to see them to believe they exist. Yet those people walking along the foot bridge can’t see what you’re looking at. That has to be in the air, hovering from high above in a helicopter. We live in a world of such beauty it really does take your breath away. And best of all, the beauty of the Grand Prismatic Spring is right here in America.

HALF-FULL REPORT 12/11/20

What is this horrific video?  It is “what the face of real anger and desperation in the face of a government that is equal parts corrupt and inept looks like.”  This took place in Buenos Aires, Argentina one week ago (12/04).  The author continues:
“It is the fundamental problem of rule through force that eventually leads to these regrettable outcomes. No one wants to see policemen, presumably decent men with the right motivations to maintain societal order, stoned in public.

 

But when people have had their ability to make their grievances heard peacefully taken away from them, they will, eventually, make their grievances heard violently. It’s who we are. It’s human nature.

 

And the lesson here is for all of these would-be tyrants currently laughing about winning a fraudulent election in the U.S. through changing the rules is that they will face this same moment as these cops did very soon.”

But not with rocks – which is all the Argentines have.  You know full well what tens of millions of Americans have.  At least five Justices must know this themselves – and that the outcome of their decision on Texas v Pennsylvania is binary: ballots or bullets.  POTUS understands:

THE SUPREME MOMENT OF AMERICA’S FATE

trump-tweet-on-election-fraudThe stage is set.  The stakes could not be higher.  America has arrived at history’s fork in the road determining its fate.

It’s a true fork, not an intersection leading in multiple directions.  Here the road divides in two and two only, an either-or, the choice between them must be made.  And very soon.

TEXAS COMES TO AMERICA’S RESCUE

texas-to-the-rescueLast night just before midnight (12/07), the State of Texas filed a lawsuit that is far more important than all of the others surrounding the presidential election of November 3rd.

Texas brought a suit against four states that did something they cannot do: they violated the U.S. Constitution in their conduct of the presidential election.

And this violation occurred regardless of the amount of election fraud that may have resulted. The four defendant states are Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

Texas filed the suit directly in the Supreme Court. Article III of the Constitution lists a small number of categories of cases in which the Supreme Court has “original jurisdiction.”  One of those categories concerns “Controversies between two or more states.” Texas’s suit is exactly that.

The Texas suit is clear, and it presents a compelling case. The four offending states each violated the U.S. Constitution in two ways.
