> This election was compromised by officials not authorized to change the rules, changing them in key areas of this nation.

> The burden of proof is not on the “losing” parties to prove fraud – it is on the officials who conducted the election to conclusively prove it was fair and honest, in the face of those compromises and other irregularities in the process, such as playing games with the monitoring of vote counting.. And the government (as opposed to its operatives re: criminality) is not entitled to the presumption of innocence.

> That conclusive proof, in the face of multiple irregularities, has NOT been forthcoming … “because we say so” or “you lack standing” is NOT proof. This is where the courts in particular fell down on the job.

> This election was so compromised that conclusive proof of its honesty was beyond reach … Congress should have refused to certify the Electoral College results, and sent it into the House for resolution.

> And in the end, VP Pence should have refused to perform his role, for the same reason. He didn’t have to change/substitute votes as some suggest … that would have gone too far. But he should have refused to participate in this charade.

> But our leaders in two of the three branches, and in many of our states, tried to duck the above and pretend everything was all right. They valued the reputation of their institutions … and/or the expedient repudiation of Orange Man Bad … more than they valued treating their constituents with honesty and integrity.

Should actual proof of fraud come out, it will now shake this nation to its core, for we are in uncharted territory when it comes to finding an election illegitimate after inauguration. And that could have been avoided, had our leaders adhered to Constitutional requirements and processes – both before the election to avoid the compromises, and once the compromises became evident.

This is the elephant in the room, that shall not be named – much less discussed – according to Big Tech, the media, and the Powers that Be. But the Tarkin Effect (the more you tighten your grip, the more slips out of it) applies to their efforts here.

More like the winner of a demolition derby, exposing his opponents as the clunkers that they are … in a manner reminiscent of Rodney Dangerfield in Caddyshack exposing the rot of the “respected” Judge Smails.

Not only with his mean – but appropriate – rhetoric. Civility in response to others’ intellectual dishonesty is counterproductive in the defense of liberty, and the confession shared by the busybody Left and the incendiary fringe of the Right – that a little intellectual elite in a far-distant capital can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves – is as intellectually dishonest as it gets.

But with what he actually did, in terms of policy:

> Since 1973, the year that Joe Biden entered the Senate, OPEC kept the world on a chain. President Trump broke that chain. Joe Biden is putting us back on that chain.

> For years, China has exploited our free markets, building up its ability to impose the chains of totalitarianism. President Trump challenged this. Joe Biden would stand by and let China put more people in chains.

> Some states have forgotten there’s more to life than COVID. Some states have not. President Trump respected federalism. Joe Biden would put all 50 states back in the chains of panic.

spoiler alert– he was a communist, but this is how you deal with “government.”

Historically, the “fraud” rate in elections has been less than 1% which includes blatant fraud, lost, spoiled, and o/w ruined ballots. (and given that in the USA we don’t have a “national” election, we have a series of elections within States.)
Trump took the left by total surprise in 2016 and the left was NEVER going to let that happen again.
Starting in 2018, various democrat controlled States began changing their election laws. Most of these changes were implemented by administrative fiat, in contradiction to the Constitution. (only State Legislatures can change election laws within a State.)

Now, it’s presented as-if the 2020 election was the most secure and accurate in history, and that is just not true.
Don’t (expletive) on my leg, and tell me it’s raining.

Hm. That is a software task I can’t do. I’ll ask my web guy if it can be done.

Communism is so deeply ingrained that there is not even a name for what is happening, unlike calling the 1950s search for communists “McCarthyism.”

Robert Zimmerman, your postings show how widespread that communist and socialist thinking has spread throughout our once-free society. It is appalling how quickly it spread, too. No more Fabian socialism, it is an outright takeover of our once-great country.

Just as in socialist and communist countries, the deaths of tens of thousands is no big deal. Instead, Cuomo harassed a few women, and that is what upsets the left. Cuomo should have been forced to resign over the deaths that he caused, but the left does not have their priorities straight. Bad as unwanted under-the-shirt action is, ten thousand deaths is worse. He apologized to his few harassment victims, not to the tens of thousands of families of those he cause to die. For the left, mass homicide is OK, but harassment is the more horrific crime.

Jester Naybor wrote: “The fallacy here, is that righting wrongs and establishing ‘good’ is NOT the reason governments exist, if you listen to our founding citizens of this nation”

How true. The institution of government was created for three purposes:
1) Defend the populace from all enemies, foreign and domestic.
2) Peaceably resolve disputes as a disinterested third party.
3) Stay out of the way of the populace.

All three of these purposes supports the protection of our rights (natural or God given). Even the Preamble of the U.S. Constitution informs us that government has only these three purposes:

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union [purpose 1], establish Justice [purpose 2], insure domestic Tranquility [purpose 1], provide for the common defence [purpose 1], promote the general Welfare [purpose 1], and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity [purpose 3], do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Robert Pratt wrote: “My engineer brother told me that he belongs a ‘War Birds’ group on Facebook and that the social media giant keeps removing any photos of historic airplanes that have Nazi symbols such as the swastika on the planes.”

This is a sneaky way to rewrite history, keeping us ignorant of the past and thus doomed to repeat it, as MDN pointed out. Remove the references to the Nationalist Socialist German Worker’s Party, and soon no one remembers them or that they were socialists. It is not well publicized that the Democrats are and always were the racists, the party having been founded specifically and explicitly to defend the institution of slavery. The KKK was formed by Democrats to prevent Republicans from taking office, and beating down the black population was a secondary mission. Democrats were responsible for the Trail of Tears, Jim Crow laws, and the internment of Americans of Japanese descent during WWII. Democrats opposed civil rights until President Johnson pointed out that they could use it to the disadvantage of the black population and the advantage of the Democratic Party. For years, the Democratic Party favored the Nazi Party, until it became politically expedient to stop favoring them in public. But these facts are well hidden, even more hidden than those photos of Nazi planes.

Are we supposed to not learn from history? Are we to not prevent a reenactment? Hasn’t Godwin’s law been used for decades in order to silence those who point out that we are repeating it in America? As MadRocketSci said: “… it’s important to remember what has been done and not allow these mendacious chameleons to skate away from the tyranny they attempted to foist on us.” This applies to Nazis, Democrats, socialist, communists, and other tyrants.

Robert Zimmerman,
I suspect that MDN was hoping that you could place these as a bullet in you section “Behind The Black Archives” in the right column.

“( I am not a Nazi)”

L..S. couldn’t afford the membership dues.

Remember 9/11.

MDN: If you plug the words “Today’s” and “blacklisted” into the search box on BtB, you will get a list of all the stories. The url of that search can be sent to anyone, and provide them in one place the full list.

It is actually refreshing to have a forum where you can speak your mind…. Without fear of being banned because of one’s opinion. I wish there were a few more genuine socialists here, but I don’t mind being the “token” European leftist.

This blog is actually an important voice in the cancel culture world that the US seems to be in right now. I support it , ( when I can ), and I hope everyone else that gets value from this site returns that value!
( I am not a Nazi)

I fully support continuing this series. I know it is hard, and I know as a reader it is a bit depressing, but it IS important. We must remember this time as when sanity does return we need this for our institutional memory.

Those who are ignorant of the past are doomed to repeat it. I often feel this entire cancel culture phenomena is an example of this because we have erased the horrors of the mid 20th century from our collective consciousness to the point that very few understand or appreciate what true tyranny looks like anymore.

Two suggestions:

1. Perhaps reduce the frequency to just once a week in a compendium format. This will keep it in our faces as we need, just metered back a bit.

2. Please organize the collection under a single link somewhere. I often forward these to friends and family and having a single link to the litany of intolerance would be most useful.

Finally, on behalf of myself and I’m sure most of your readers, THANKS!!!! As I said this is important work and I very much appreciate the effort and emotional energy you invest in it!

Thanks for your blacklisted American posts. It’s a depressing subject, but it’s also important to document the abuse. In any future that doesn’t involve the total defeat and death of humanity at the hands of these would-be slave-masters, it’s important to remember what has been done and not allow these mendacious chameleons to skate away from the tyranny they attempted to foist on us. You may never reach *them*, but you’ll reach people who aren’t trying to rationalize evil, now and in the future.

I don’t comment as much on the scientific posts, but I probably should. It takes more effort to have something constructive to say about something intricate and interesting. I think it also points at a bit of a danger that I see other conservative bloggers fall into where it does end up being all-outrage-all-the-time. I’ve heard it referred to as “positive” and “negative” identity. It’s important to clearly declare what you are against, but also important not to forget what you are for. Holding onto the “positive identity”, even when taking a stand against the evil being done to us is important: That’s how we keep our creative potential – how we can keep learning and growing and building. Hard to do when we’re heading towards some kind of civil war or tyranny, but that’s the game. Smiling when we’re being punched in the collective face continually by outrageous bullies is unnatural, but IMO we’ll need the ability to work *for* something to have the resources to draw on in the struggle ahead, and to rally people to our side.

Let’s be honest, you Trumpers have been quibbling about a possible tiny amount of fraud in a country with the greatest oversite of electoral process in the world…
In any normal time or space the electorial result would be accepted…. Like it was when trump won. There was no more election rigging in that election than the latest one. Clutching at straws is just that. Clutching at straws.
As the so proclaimed ” greatest democracy in the world”., You guys sure didn’t look like it this year!

Hindu and Christian folk have a big problem with Islam ( and this atheist does!) , But all for different reasons…. Just because one ideology has something in common with another , it doesn’t mean the ideology is the same.

Regarding where people should be allowed to live,.I think it’s time to have a look at the lines drawn up in colonist times… They obviously don’t work, ( again,.look at Pakistan and India…) ,. arbitrary lines drawn by Western powers, taking no interest in how communities lived and functioned before western intervention. It’s not an easy subject to approach, but I believe it’s one worth investing in.
Sweden is not a bad example for everything we.are discussing here. The indigenous peoples in the very north of Sweden have only relatively recently been given there own rights to herd deer, and live like they have for millennia… Across what is now Finland, Sweden and Norway.

America, Canada, Australia.. and indeed the middle East… All have people who do not recognize the lines drawn up by Western Europe by white men with maps.
Take the Kurds… Great allies of the west, mostly forgotten by us… They have lived in the northern part of the middle East for millennia, but nobody thought about drawing lines that include them. It’s a tough nut, but cracking it is absolutely the key to peace in the world.

The other aspect to my point regarding Sweden is that, although “neutral”, they supplied Nazi Germany with high quality steel products during the second world war…. It’s a dirty little secret that most Swedes would prefer not to talk about, but they were fully aware that Hitler had battle plans drawn up for the invasion of Sweden, but did not bother, because the Sweden supplied the resources he considered valuable on the “free” market.

History is a messy mess, but many of the problems in the world today could be solved by having a good look at the injustice of the past, and at least trying to make amends.

What is the time-difference between the US and Sweden?

“Palestine,” I will leave it to others more articulate to expound on why your view of this particular piece of ‘history,’ is faulty.

Ref –“people should be allowed to live where they have lived for millennia.”
[editorial comment-sounds like a wordy bumper sticker.]
Q: Just exactly how far back are you willing to apply this concept, and exactly what are you prepared to do or allow, to make it real? (and I’m not talking about ‘palestine,’ there’s a whole big crazy World out there….)

I know you are indifferent to my video links, but this is pretty cool, and it speaks to your sensibilities, I think… (While I think this stuff is high-art, I know Mr. Z. does not favor these made-up, concept videos, so not wasting an evening-pause suggestion. Enjoy!)

But Radical Islam is at War with the entire World – including fellows Muslims. That’s why Muslims are fleeing Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and flooding into Western Europe – including Sweden – making Malmo the Rape Capital of Europe.

I am a UK citizen, with Swedish residency. I keep my UK passport, but pay only Swedish taxes, I am considering getting duel citizenship, and doing the same for my kids, mostly for ease of travel. I don’t really care where I am considered a citizen. Where I lay my hat is my home. As long as I pay my way… What does it really matter.

Regarding Swedish Nazis, I am not talking your loony left, I mean genuine swastika wearing Nazis. I had a couple of fist fights with members of there ideology 20 years ago when they were more visible. ( I dislike Nazis, they killed my grandfather).

These days they have morphed into “the Swedish democratic party”, still racist, still VERY anti semetic, still conducting acts of violence against Jews and black and brown people. And unfortunatly getting a lot of support from the native Swedes, who tend to be, although well hidden, extremely racist and, hmmm… Can I say extreme Christian.. to the exclusion of any other ideology.

I battle this bigotry every day,.I’m too old for fist fighting these days, but will never stop in my fight against genuine “national socialism”, and this is why Bobs comment regarding me being anything like a Nazi riles me so much. I fight my fight on my ground. Forgive me for not caring too much about your ground. I have my hands full here.

To see the soft face of real Nazis, alive, today,.and in europe… And remember how that went last time….
( I still say shame on you Bob…. I have never.been so insulted in my life… I battle every day for freedom. because I have issues with Israel policy, and don’t take much notice of US issues, to liken me to a concentration camp guard…. Shame upon you!)

Surely you know that many (perhaps a majority) of the leaders and supporters of the Palestinian movement were and are vigorous Nazi supporters. I’m not talking about the people who today are labeled “Nazi’s” because they support conservative policies, but the honest-to-goodness Hitlerite, “Final Solution” Nazis.
