    From Jim Stone:
    I was skeptical at first, but this Infowars report proves the Dems issued Governor Kemp a threat to not do a signature audit by murdering his daughter's boyfriend. NO QUESTION.

    They chose the daughter's boyfriend because that is not immediate family and will be overlooked, yet it sent a clear message. It is obvious the car exploded from either a drone strike or car bomb because the engine was ejected 180 feet, just like Hastings. My guess is they rammed a a directional car bomb with a blast trajectory similar to a claymore between the firewall and the engine. The proximity of everything ruptured and ignited the gas tank despite the overall trajectory of the blast being towards the front. That's the only way the engine would have been totally ejected for a huge distance with no frontal collision at all with the rest of the car mostly intact. If you look at the photos, the hood is wrecked and open. That's because the engine is no longer in the car. I'll go for precision placed shaped explosion more so than drone strike, but anything is possible, I guess.

    Kemp approved the signature audit, and then the left did this. WE ARE NOW IN THE MIDST OF A VIOLENT COUP, this is not just vote fraud anymore.
    in looking for connections, i came across another interesting piece as well:

    What Role Did General McChrystal Play in Biden's Stolen Election? ...
    Did He Have a Role in the Death of Harrison Deal??


    General McChrystal (head of Afghanistan operations) was fired in 2010 by Obama for comments he made in an unflattering article that ran in Rolling Stone (written by now deceased Journalist Michael Hastings). In the article McChrystal criticized Obama and made fun of Biden (calling him Bite Me). Despite his history, McChrystal emerged as a player in this election. He publicly endorsed Biden and slammed Trump. McChrystal was reportedly hired to assist Biden in winning the election. FoxNews reported he was hired to deploy a DARPA Warfare tool to promote Biden and harm Trump using social media:

    https://www.foxnews.com/politics/dem...-promote-biden

    I don't know about you, but I think this guy is dirty. Very dirty. I'd be interested to know what connection if any he has to Dominion Voting Systems or Scytl .........


    Every Dog Has His Day

    McChrystal attacked POTUS publicly, and POTUS tweeted this in January 2019:

    Quote “General” McChrystal got fired like a dog by Obama. Last assignment a total bust. Known for big, dumb mouth. Hillary lover! "
    Michael Hastings Death and Similarities to Harrison Deal's Crash

    In reviewing Friday's explosive car crash and death in Georgia of Kemp-Loeffler-Perdue friend/employee Harrison Deal, it made me think of the crash that killed reporter Michael Hastings. His car exploded on a street in LA in the early morning hours after running a series of red lights. The engine of the car was thrown more than 50 feet away from the crash. At the time of his death in June 2013, Hastings was best known for the Rolling Stone article that got McChrystal fired.

    See evidence of Harrison Deal's Car crash here......explosions were heard by witnesses as far as 1 mile away:


    View the video here of Michael Hasting's car crash in Los Angeles:


    Michael Hastings was reportedly working on a damning expose of John Brennan. He told friends he was being followed and feared for his life. The FBI had also visited his friends and family seeking dirt on Hastings.

    Was McChrystal Behind the Murder of Michael Hastings?

    CDAN ran a blind item just last month saying investigators are getting closer to solving the death of a journalist that sounds very much like the Michael Hastings case. The CDAN post says that the journalist had been followed and ultimately killed by 3 military guys fired in the wake of an expose written by the journalist. An IED was used to explode his car.

    *"Today's Blind Items - Revenge

    After many years, there has been a breakthrough in the death of this reporter who was digging into an online tabloid's giving positive coverage to celebrities for pay. His death wasn't related to that, but three military guys who had been fired in the wake of a story the reporter had written a few years earlier. They followed him and harassed him and then ultimately planted an IED that his car ran over and blew up. One of the three guys told a woman he was going to marry, the story. When she heard it, she split with him and she shared it with reporters who have been digging into it the past two months."*

    https://www.crazydaysandnights.net/2...s-revenge.html

    Sure sounds like this is CDAN post is about Michael Hastings......and possibly McChrystal and/or his cronies.

    What else has McChrystal been up to? Did he play a larger role in stealing the election?? IF the CDAN post is accurate (and if it involves McChrystal), did he have any involvement in the death of Harrison Deal?"

    it is always sad to commemorate a day when good men and women gave their lives 79 yrs ago for a cause they believed to be "worth it' ... our country

    let's not let their sacrifice be in vain ... December 7th, 1941 is known as, "A day that will live in infamy."

    for those who honor memory ... here is nice video ... then just stop here and do not read below please ...

    i debated whether to post this piece i found or not.. and have decided to post it ... we seem to be here again, and if we don't stop to take a good hard look at the past? we will not understand our present nor ask ourselves, when are we going to do something to make sure it doesn't happen again?

    cuz from my vantage point? sure looks like the "other side" is doing ALL to make sure we will NOT have the chance to stop them in the future ...

    so just someone's post covering multitude of things, only posting in reference to Pearl Harbor:

    Quote "I will never forget FDR wanted the US to get in the war. It's great business--for the people in the business.

    I will never forget there was an eight-step plan to provoke Japan to strike us so that we would have a reason to be brought into war. Not unlike the living God releasing the 10 plagues on Egypt in order to prompt Pharaoh to release the people of Israel out of bondage.

    I will never forget it was FDR who chose to have the Pacific Fleet based in Pearl Harbor instead of the West Coast of the mainland where they would be more protected and have advanced warning. The ships were also in a concentrated area that made for easier targets.

    I will never forget that US intelligence knew the communications code of the Japanese and knew of their plans, but did not share this with those in Hawaii. Many other comms were intercepted leading up to the attack on the 7th and in the months prior.

    I will never forget that the most powerful intelligence apparatus in the world was nowhere to be found, publicly, leading up to the strike. Hmm. Didn't the same thing happen in regards to 9/11, both before and after? We just couldn't find the boogeyman the Clowns In America created, even though CNN had no problem locating and interviewing him in his cave. Makes sense.

    I will never forget that there wouldn't be global puppet masters without a propaganda arm to program the minds of the people. There are a whole lot more of us than there are of them.

    I will never forget that false flag events have been used every single time for the US to engage in war. Dov Zacheim, and the rest of the NWO government officials, including Bush, didn't call 9/11 a new Pearl Harbor for nothing. And if falsified or staged events have been used as a pretext to launch our wars, or staging events that never even happened as in the case of the declassified Gulf of Tonkin incident, what might this tell us about the wars themselves?"
    IF we do NOT stop them once and for all?
    looks like they are determined that they WILL STOP us once and for all ....

    Why does the state of Georgia have a Chinese website with Governor Brian Kemp
    desperately soliciting Chinese investments in a video message?




    Lin Wood explains:


    I believe that Brian Kemp is corrupt, and I think he was corrupted with Chinese money. And I don’t think he wants this election overthrown and the real results posted because then Brian Kemp is going to be facing a Trump administration Attorney General, and Brian Kemp would find himself in jail. It’s that simple. He sold himself out, now he’s trying to hide to try to get this election validated even though it’s illegal, because if it’s invalidated, Brian Kemp and a lot of other Georgia people are in trouble, including the Secretary of State.

    I’m a defamation lawyer. I have stated publicly that Brian Kemp and Raffensperger are corrupt and they took money from the Chinese on the covid deal and on the Dominion voting deal. I bet you anything Brian Kemp won’t sue me for defamation. Because he knows if he did, he’d go into court, I’d have discovery, and I would prove that he did it, that it’s true.

    Other indy media sources are also reporting that the Trump administration, via the NSA, has proof of the financial transactions that show Kemp and Raffensperger taking bribery money from communist China. Trump was waiting for Kemp and Raffensperger to complete the crime of “certifying” Georgia’s voting results before moving against them for criminal fraud and corruption.

    We are now hearing that:

    communist China ran a web of financial kickbacks and bribes to multiple governors and state officials across America, including California and Georgia
    ,

    with many other states soon to follow.

    In every case, governors and state officials transferred huge sums of money to Chinese front companies for “covid supplies” that were either never delivered,

    or delivered as low-cost, low-quality items nowhere near the stated value. A portion of the extra funds was paid back to family members and specially structured business entities connected to the state officials, giving them control over the illicit funds.

    hear him in this video:

    Quote Posted by Satori (here)
    Quote Posted by iota (here)
    Formal Call to Challenge the Electoral College has been made

    Rep Mo Brooks of the state of Alabama has called for the Electoral College to be Challenged. He stated:

    "in my judgement, if only lawful votes cast by eligible United States Citizens are counted, President Trump has easily won the Electoral College and second term as President.

    As such, it is my duty to under the United States Constitution on January 6, if the required ONE Senator will join me, to object to and later vote to reject reject Electoral College Votes submissions from states whose election systems are so badly flawed as to render their vote submissions unreliable, untrustworthy, and unworthy of acceptance."

    just takes one Senator to join!!


    Senator contact info by state:
    https://www.senate.gov/general/contacting.htm
    ....

    Under the Act, the votes are to be counted in alphabetical order. Alabama is the first state in that order.

    The Act further provides that both houses of Congress must agree on the vote as certified by a state. If both houses cannot agree all further counting stops until both houses agree. (Or, perhaps, the SCOTUS breaks the deadlock some how. Intervention and action by the SCOTUS is becoming increasingly likely.) That is, Congress cannot go on to count the electoral votes of the next state until it has agreed on the votes of each prior state.

    So, hypothetically, if the Governor of Alabama certifies the votes for Biden and sends that to Congress, but the Legislature of Alabama sends Congress a competing certification for Trump, or says to Congress don’t certify any votes from Alabama, and if both houses cannot agree on what to do in that event, under the Act all further counting of the electoral college votes must stop. Under this hypo that would be at the very first state to come up to be counted—Alabama.

    Then what? One possibility is:

    If by Inauguration Day on 1/20/2021 Congress has not broken the stalemate the Speaker of the House, currently Nancy Pelosi, would become “Acting President” and continue to act until Congress does finish the process of counting every state’s electoral votes and thereby elect the President and VP.

    The foregoing is true whether the counting stops at Alabama or some other state. Say, Pennsylvania. In that regard, it is my understanding that the PA legislature sent a letter, signed by 76 members, to Congress advising Congress not to count the electoral votes certified by the PA governor if the certification is for Biden. (76 is 30% of the PA legislature.)

    I think this hypothetical will not come to pass. (I shudder at the thought.). But it might. If it does in some form come to pass, Art II, Sec. 1, the 12 and 20th Amendments to the Constitution (and other provisions) and the Act provide the road map for Congress and the SCOTUS to follow.
    Satori!!! that is the conclusion i drew in my post above after reading your explanation of the Law Review Article linked above.

    even now, Biden does not act or speak as a man wedded to the idea of being President. Pueblo just posted ( Post # 288) him saying that if there is a fundamental difference between him and Pamela, he'd just

    'develop some disease and resign"

    what a leader! what extraordinary and inspiring leadership qualities he discusses! ~ is he serious?

    obviously, both were. Pamela can be seen nodding in agreement and smiling on ..

    and as the Marshall report asked:

    Quote "Why did a bright, well educated, seasoned news reporter named Donna Brazile tweet such a bizarre message? Was it code? Did she just have a fuzzy brain moment? She got into hot water with Hillary during the campaign and after with her book where she told her own truth. But, she lived through that and publicly fell in line with the rest of the Dem soldiers on the Pelosi Globalist plantation. So, is it a crazy tweet or a code. If a code who is it meant to signal, or warn and about what?"

    Take out the hash tags and it reads, “Madam Speaker today, President Pelosi shortly thereafter. Martin Luther King Weekend is underway. Keep Hope Alive!” That is definitely a message to someone. Either a signal to others that it’s a go, or a warning, or both.

    The obvious part of this message is:

    Madam Speaker today, President Pelosi shortly thereafter.

    Both with hashtags – so it wasn’t a mistake. It was directly intended to read as it was written.
    i concluded from both that this was looking suspiciously like the "hidden alternative" they had in mind from the onset as their target objective

    this would be even worse than Biden to me! i thought there was a scenario where the Vice President would take office until the matter was settled?

    how big of a possibility do you hold this to be?

    wasn't there?
    With respect to Iota's question: "i thought there was a scenario where the Vice President would take office until the matter was settled?

    how big of a possibility do you hold this to be?"

    For what it's worth here is my answer:

    The way I read Article II, Sec. I of the US Constitution, as amended by the 12th Amend, it seems "clear" that in the event both Houses of Congress reach an impasse regarding counting the electoral votes and cannot agree when the votes are being counted by the President of the Senate (currently the VP Pence), on whether either Biden or Trump obtained the required majority of electoral votes, presumably 270 (or more votes), or by what ever means it should come to pass that neither Biden or Trump got the required majority votes, then the House of Representatives cannot (should not, must not) chose either Biden or Trump as President. There would be an impasse in Congress on how to proceed to choosing the President and in turn the VP. This would create a legal issue of constitutional proportions.

    If you stop the analysis at what Art. II, Sec. I and the 12th Amend. say, then the VP, Pence (Who else could it be?), would be the acting President. I say that based upon this language found in the 12th Amend, which amended Art II, Sec. 1.

    "*** And if the House of Representatives shall not choose a President whenever the right of choice shall devolve upon them, before the fourth day of March next following, then the Vice-President shall act as President, as in the case of death or other constitutional disability of the President. ***" (emphasis added) (Note--March 4th was changed to January 20th by the the 20th Amend. Note too: the last clause in that sentence which I underlined invokes the 20th and/or 25th Amend.)

    An arguable basis for the possibility that the Speaker of the House may become the acting President instead of the VP, Pence, becoming the acting President, comes from the opinion of the author of the article I discuss in my post on this thread and reposted by Iota in post #290 above. The author of the article seems to conclude that under the Electoral Count Act, the Speaker of the House, not the VP, has the inside track to serve as Acting President. In my view, he is not entirely confident of his conclusion and I disagree with him.

    I argue that, in the event of an impasse resulting in no President elect chosen by Congress to be the President, Art. II, Sec. I and the 12th Amend. apply, not the Electoral Count Act. In this way, the VP--Pence-- becomes the acting President until a President elect is chosen as President.

    I say this for at least these reasons:

    1. The Constitution and its amendments are the supreme law of the land.
    2. All acts of Congress must be in furtherance of and not in derogation of the Constitution.
    3 The Electoral Count Act is in derogation of and violates the Constitution to the extent it is construed and/or applied to have the Speaker of the House serve as Acting President rather than the VP (At least unless and until the 20th and/or the 25th Amnd. should somehow come into play. (Let's pray not.))
    4. There is no "necessary and proper clause" in the 12th Amend. That is, unlike other constitutional amendments that came after the 12th Amend, where there is a clause that says" "Congress shall have the power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation." (or words to the effect) the 12th Amend grants no such power to Congress.
    5. Because there is no necessary and proper clause in the 12th Amend. (and even if there was), one can argue that the Electoral Count Act is void altogether, or at least to the extent that it would have anyone but the VP serve as Acting President, or unless and until the 20th and/or the 25th Amnd. should somehow come into play. (Again, let's pray not.)

    So, in short, in my opinion, the clearer path to Acting President, in the event of an electoral college vote count impasse in Congress and no President is chosen by 1/20/2021, is for the VP-Pence. But, dare I say, that is if he is not disabled or dead.

I of the US Constitution, as amended by the 12th Amend, it seems "clear" that in the event both Houses of Congress reach an impasse regarding counting the electoral votes and cannot agree when the votes are being counted by the President of the Senate (currently the VP Pence), on whether either Biden or Trump obtained the required majority of electoral votes, presumably 270 (or more votes), or by what ever means it should come to pass that neither Biden or Trump got the required majority votes, then the House of Representatives cannot (should not, must not) chose either Biden or Trump as President. There would be an impasse in Congress on how to proceed to choosing the President and in turn the VP. This would create a legal issue of constitutional proportions.

    If you stop the analysis at what Art. II, Sec. I and the 12th Amend. say, then the VP, Pence (Who else could it be?), would be the acting President. I say that based upon this language found in the 12th Amend, which amended Art II, Sec. 1.

    "*** And if the House of Representatives shall not choose a President whenever the right of choice shall devolve upon them, before the fourth day of March next following, then the Vice-President shall act as President, as in the case of death or other constitutional disability of the President. ***" (emphasis added) (Note--March 4th was changed to January 20th by the the 20th Amend. Note too: the last clause in that sentence which I underlined invokes the 20th and/or 25th Amend.)

    An arguable basis for the possibility that the Speaker of the House may become the acting President instead of the VP, Pence, becoming the acting President, comes from the opinion of the author of the article I discuss in my post on this thread and reposted by Iota in post #290 above. The author of the article seems to conclude that under the Electoral Count Act, the Speaker of the House, not the VP, has the inside track to serve as Acting President. In my view, he is not entirely confident of his conclusion and I disagree with him.

    I argue that, in the event of an impasse resulting in no President elect chosen by Congress to be the President, Art. II, Sec. I and the 12th Amend. apply, not the Electoral Count Act. In this way, the VP--Pence-- becomes the acting President until a President elect is chosen as President.

    I say this for at least these reasons:

    1. The Constitution and its amendments are the supreme law of the land.
    2. All acts of Congress must be in furtherance of and not in derogation of the Constitution.
    3 The Electoral Count Act is in derogation of and violates the Constitution to the extent it is construed and/or applied to have the Speaker of the House serve as Acting President rather than the VP (At least unless and until the 20th and/or the 25th Amnd. should somehow come into play. (Let's pray not.))
    4. There is no "necessary and proper clause" in the 12th Amend. That is, unlike other constitutional amendments that came after the 12th Amend, where there is a clause that says" "Congress shall have the power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation." (or words to the effect) the 12th Amend grants no such power to Congress.
    5. Because there is no necessary and proper clause in the 12th Amend. (and even if there was), one can argue that the Electoral Count Act is void altogether, or at least to the extent that it would have anyone but the VP serve as Acting President, or unless and until the 20th and/or the 25th Amnd. should somehow come into play. (Again, let's pray not.)

    So, in short, in my opinion, the clearer path to Acting President, in the event of an electoral college vote count impasse in Congress and no President is chosen by 1/20/2021, is for the VP-Pence. But, dare I say, that is if he is not disabled or dead.
    truly do i hope that you are correct

    truly do i believe Pelosi to be an alternative that they are holding as possiblity

    truly do i love this country
    and will mourn its demise if Pelosi get the helm

    i thank you Satori, your legal knowledge and perspective is invaluable!

    ** UPDATE ON FLYNN CASE **

    things are happening so fast, they are changing not just on a day to day basis, but sometimes hourly, as in the TX filing suit near midnight last night against the FOUR states who seriously ~ brazenly i~ n plan sight, want to commit treason AND get away with it! so 1st here's what happened on Monday, followed by today, Tuesday:

    Judge Sullivan Refuses to Dismiss Flynn Case
    After Pardon by President Trump;
    Rogue Judge Issues Orders
    Allowing Amicus Briefs in Case

    "Several minute orders by Sullivan were posted to the court docket Monday allowing the filing of amicus briefs in the Flynn case that were filed earlier in the fall when the GOJ motioned to dismiss the case against Flynn. Among those allowed to file are House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) joined by several committee members as well as former Watergate prosecutors. Sullivan refused to dismiss the case even with the charges dropped and has delayed ruling for months even though he was ordered by the D.C. Court of Appeals in a decision rejecting a writ of mandamus request filed by Flynn to “proceed with appropriate dispatch” on the motion to dismiss. That ruling came on August 31. Sullivan is now dragging the case out into December with no end in sight unless another mandamus case is filed by the DOJ or Flynn’s attorney Sidney Powell.

    The minute orders were first reported by Courthouse News reporter Megan Mineiro who posted a copy of the docket"

    **UPDATE**

    BREAKING: Dirty Judge Sullivan Finally Dismisses Case
    Against General Flynn Following Trump Pardon


    Corrupt Judge Emmet Sullivan finally dismissed the criminal case against General Flynn following President Trump’s pardon.

    General Flynn was targeted by Obama’s corrupt and criminal DOJ/FBI for several years.

    Obama’s FBI framed General Flynn and corrupt Judge Sullivan refused to dismiss the case after the DOJ dropped the case several months ago.

    Last month President Trump stepped in an issued Flynn a full presidential pardon, but Judge Sullivan continued to harass Flynn.

    TRENDING: BREAKING: Supreme Court Denies Latest Election Challenge Out of Pennsylvania

    Judge Sullivan on Tuesday declared the case against Flynn “moot” following Trump’s pardon.

    Sullivan used this as an opportunity to once again attack General Flynn in a 43-page memorandum.

    memorandum here:
    https://ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin...2017cr0232-311


    Yesterday Judge Sullivan tried to flex some power by ignoring President Trump’s pardon.

    In new orders issued Monday allowing amicus briefs, Judge Emmet Sullivan made it clear he was ignoring President Trump’s pardon of Flynn granted November 25 that he was given formal notice of by the Justice Department on November 30.

    Several minute orders by Sullivan were posted to the court docket Monday allowing the filing of amicus briefs in the Flynn case that were filed earlier in the fall when the GOJ motioned to dismiss the case against Flynn.

    But on Tuesday, Sullivan finally backed down and dismissed the Flynn case.

    SCOTUS Will Hear Texas Election Case, and More Good News…
    The South Just Rode in Like the Calvary


    ZPATRIOT writes:


    "Thank God for Texas!

    And thank God for Ken Paxton, the Texas AG who has put together one barnburner of an election case.

    Here are the very brief details on the case:

    Paxton believes that he can use “Article II” to take his lawsuits against PA, WI, GA, and MI straight to the SCOTUS, bypassing the lower courts totally.

    And he’s putting it to the test. He filed a lawsuit at around midnight last night, arguing that PA, WI, GA, and MI violated the Electors Clause of the Constitution because they made changes to voting rules and procedures through the courts or through executive actions, but not through the state legislatures.

    In other words, they bypassed Republican legislatures to do their little workarounds with mail-in ballots and registrations, etc.

    That goes against the Constitution. All of those changes had to be made via the state legislatures and they were not.

    And the good news is, the SCOTUS will hear the case.


    And SCOTUS just gave the states until Thursday at 3 pm to respond.

    ‘The Big One’:
    Trump Will Join Texas Lawsuit to Block
    ‘Unlawful Election Results’ in Swing States.


    On Wednesday, President Donald Trump announced he would join the explosive case Attorney General Ken Paxton (R-Texas) filed at the Supreme Court this week. No fewer than seventeen other states also urged the Supreme Court to take up the case. …

    It remains unclear exactly how Trump and his legal team aim to intervene in the case. Should the Supreme Court grant certiorari and take up the case, Trump could file an amicus curiae (“friend of the court”) brief, but the promise to “intervene” seems more aggressive than that.

    DOJ Is Investigating Hunter Biden Over Taxes,
    Biden Transition Announce

    News of the investigation comes just as Joe Biden is set to announce his nominee for attorney general of the United States. Hunter Biden had been a constant target for President Donald Trump during the 2020 campaign.

    Hunter Biden said in a statement that the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Delaware informed his legal counsel about the investigation on Tuesday. The U.S. Attorney’s Office declined to comment, citing Justice Department policy.

    “I take this matter very seriously but I am confident that a professional and objective review of these matters will demonstrate that I handled my affairs legally and appropriately, including with the benefit of professional tax advisors,” Hunter Biden said.

    Joe Biden is “deeply proud” of his son, who has “fought through difficult challenges, including the vicious personal attacks of recent months, only to emerge stronger,” a statement from the transition team said.

    A CNN reporter was working on a story about the investigation and had been in contact with Hunter Biden’s legal counsel when the transition team for Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris sent out its press release. The reporter, senior justice correspondent Evan Perez, reported that the investigation began in 2018, but was put on hold ahead of the 2020 election under DOJ policy.

    that was the price paid to be born a Biden

    Nancy Pelosi's Hand Pick Linked to China Spy


    Top Congressional Leader Calls For Swalwell To Be ‘Removed
    From Congress’ After Chinese Spy Bombshell Story


    House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) called for Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA), who sits on the House Intelligence Committee, to be “removed from Congress” following an explosive report this week about his connections to a suspected Chinese spy.

    “This is only the tip of the iceberg because remember what we’re hearing, these are Chinese spies that go down to the level of a mayor, they court and help a city councilmember become a congressman, this congressman now gets on the Intel Committee,” McCarthy told Fox News host Laura Ingraham. “They are only selected for the Intel Committee by the leaders of their party, meaning Nancy Pelosi. Nancy Pelosi is one of the Gang of Eight, along with myself.”



    “Did Nancy Pelosi know this had transpired when she put him on the Committee?” McCarthy continued. “We have our Senator Dianne Feinstein, for two decades, the personal assistant to hear all the private phone calls in the car and others, a Chinese spy.”

    Quote “They are only selected for the Intel Committee by the leaders of their party, meaning Nancy Pelosi.
    “Why did the Democrats pull out of the bipartisan China Task Force I had set up?” McCarthy continued. “Why did Speaker Pelosi pull out of that? Why have they denied certain bills that would hold China accountable that have passed Senate …? Why do [the Chinese] focus on Silicon Valley members of Congress? Why is he still on the Intel Committee and why is he still a member of Congress? Did Adam Schiff know as chairman of that Committee that [Swalwell] had this problem?”

    Quote Why have they (PELOSI) denied certain bills that would hold China accountable that have passed Senate …? Why do [the Chinese] focus on Silicon Valley members of Congress? [/B]

    McCarthy noted that members of the House Intelligence Committee gets classified information that other members of Congress do not get. McCarthy also questioned why Swalwell was attacking Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe, who has repeatedly warned that China is the largest threat that the United States faces.

    “The only person attacking him is Swalwell,” McCarthy continued. “Now we learn why. Why is this person still there?”

    “Remember what Swalwell said, he accused the president of everything that he did, by lying to the American public and sitting on the Intel Committee,” McCarthy said. “Not only should he be removed from the Intel, he should be removed from Congress as well.”

    WATCH:


    Fox News host Tucker Carlson said on Tuesday night, “U.S. Intelligence officials believe Fang had a sexual relationship with Eric Swalwell.”

    “We asked Swalwell’s office about that directly today, his staff replied by saying they couldn’t comment on whether or not Swalwell had sexual relationship with Fang because that information might be ‘classified,'” Carlson continued. “They did not elaborate or explain what they meant by that.”

    Swalwell responded to the Axios report on alleged Chinese spy by suggesting without evidence that the Trump administration was behind the story. However, Axios never said that the story was leaked to them, but rather said that their story was the result of a “yearlong investigation.”

    “I’ve been a critic of the president. I’ve spoken out against him. I was on both committees that worked to impeach him. The timing feels like that should be looked at,” Swalwell told Politico. “What it appears though that this person — as the story reports — was unsuccessful in whatever they were trying to do. But if intelligence officials are trying to weaponize someone’s cooperation, they are essentially seeking to do what this person was not able to do, which is to try and discredit someone.”

    even the mere question of impropriety at a degree of being susceptible to foreign spies? should immediately suspend ALL access to ALL things government ...

    our government, will never be more accountable than the standard the people it governs demands ...

    U.S.-Iranian Relations During a Presidential Transition


    This Thursday, Dec. 10, at noon EST, Suzanne Maloney, the vice president and director of the Foreign Policy program at the Brookings Institution, and Lawfare senior editor Scott R. Anderson will join Lawfare editor-in-chief Benjamin Wittes to answer questions from the Lawfare community about the challenges facing U.S.-Iranian relations during the transition period from the Trump to the Biden administration.

    Vice President Mike Pence and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo warned President Trump against a strike on Iran and described the potential risks of military

    WASHINGTON — President Trump asked senior advisers in an Oval Office meeting on Thursday whether he had options to take action against Iran’s main nuclear site in the coming weeks. The meeting occurred a day after international inspectors reported a significant increase in the country’s stockpile of nuclear material, four current and former U.S. officials said on Monday.

    A range of senior advisers dissuaded the president from moving ahead with a military strike. The advisers — including Vice President Mike Pence; Secretary of State Mike Pompeo; Christopher C. Miller, the acting defense secretary; and Gen. Mark A. Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff — warned that a strike against Iran’s facilities could easily escalate into a broader conflict in the last weeks of Mr. Trump’s presidency.

    Any strike — whether by missile or cyber — would almost certainly be focused on Natanz, where the International Atomic Energy Agency reported on Wednesday that Iran’s uranium stockpile was now 12 times larger than permitted under the nuclear accord that Mr. Trump abandoned in 2018. The agency also noted that Iran had not allowed it access to another suspected site where there was evidence of past nuclear activity.

    Mr. Trump asked his top national security aides what options were available and how to respond, officials said.

    After Mr. Pompeo and General Milley described the potential risks of military escalation, officials left the meeting believing a missile attack inside Iran was off the table, according to administration officials with knowledge of the meeting.

    Iran is continuing to build up its stockpile of low-enriched uranium and now holds roughly 12 times the amount permitted under the 2015 nuclear agreement, the United Nations Atomic Agency said in a report.

    The report’s findings underscore the challenge the incoming Biden administration faces in persuading Iran to fully return to the 2015 nuclear deal: Besides the stockpile of low-enriched uranium, which when further refined can be used to fuel a nuclear weapon, Iran is also taking steps to potentially accelerate its production of low-enriched uranium and is continuing its nuclear research.

    Quote President-elect Joe Biden has said he is prepared to take the U.S. back into the 2015 nuclear deal provided Iran returns into full compliance with that deal and agrees to future negotiations for longer and more stringent constraints on its nuclear activities.
    i'm sorry just had to highlight that, i was unaware he was able to string more than a few syllables together ...

    i wonder if we can get video on this? or is this information coming from yet another anonymous source of the New York Times?

    Okay, two of the sources listed here (New York Times - Wall Street Journal) are considered fake news, except it seems when we like what they have to say. Iran is no more a threat to the US than Iraq was, but the boogie man drums are beating once again. "Iran Bad Guy".

    These dates should look familiar, if not look them up. 1979 was caused by 1953, and the US never got over being tossed out on it's ear like that 26 years after the successful coup over oil. The same reason for "Venezuela Bad Guy". Oil.

    Empire never forgets. Anyone empire doesn't like, or who refuses to be further taken advantage of, gets the "Bad Guy" label, and the "Bad Guy" schtick is always used to mold public opinion to be favorable of future measures to "get the bad guy".

    This is a good time to bring back this oldie but goodie. A very rich insight into how US foreign policy works when it wants something. Not quite as noble and righteous as we like to imagine. 1:55 seconds.

    "We'll get them one way or another. We'll finally think of something that works, just like we always do."

    "Just not right now".

    nope ... we ALWAYS hate them...
    and only look to what they say with a decoder handy to figure out what game they're playing ....

    so if you'll notice i even cited the "narrative" they were pushing
    (propaganda of subversiveness promulgated upon the unsuspecting American public)
    with derision

    Quote President-elect Joe Biden has said he is prepared to take the U.S. back into the 2015 nuclear deal provided Iran returns into full compliance with that deal and agrees to future negotiations for longer and more stringent constraints on its nuclear activities.
    to which i remarked:

    its just the primary component of this thread to attempt to record for history:

    WHAT transpired once the Election "results" were declared

    meaning:

    When WAR was openly and unapologetically declared upon America?
    HOW did America respond?


    kinda like a record for the sake of posterity
    to be accurate and inclusive?
    it WILL record the lies with the Truth



    here, i was recording that an "event" occurred of a meeting with the Vice President on the topic of Iran and Nuclear Capabilities

    and included was what peddled to the public on the subject

    it was not an endorsement but a record, in keeping with the objective of the thread

    thank you for bringing it to focus for clarification

    can this video be downloaded to library please? it has already been removed for "violation of their TOS"


    this alone establishes beyond a reasonable doubt that tampering WAS possible
    leading to the conclusion that it most likely took place
