 I think that until the Supreme Court establishes fair and honest elections as a positive right under the Equal Protection Clause, the problems will not be fixed. In some places cheating has been nearly uninterrupted for a hundred years or more.

And the consequences are enormous. People die who may have lived. People live impoverished, unhappy, ignorant lives, who might have flourished.

A Joe Biden Presidency may mean war with Iran—John Brennan seems to be a fan, so the Usual Suspects are involved, who have marginalized by President Trump—but not a Trump Presidency.

None of this is trivial. It is literally existential for many millions of people.

If Nixon had been inaugurated in 1960, as he should have been, it is most likely we never would have gone to war in Vietnam. If we had a avoided that war, the youth counterculture would most likely nog have emerged the way it did. And if we had not given the Communists that fertile breeding ground we may not be as batshit crazy now as we patently are.

Fair and honest elections are the single most important element of our system, in both principle and practice. They are an integral part, obviously, of the rule of law, and have been neglected much too long.

And we need the Supreme Court because Democrats have cheating well enough and long enough that they control enough power at all levels to block effective legislative remedies. There was widespread cheating in the last national election, in 2018, and before that 2016. It is an existential threat to everything, and the President lacks the power to fix it, and much of Congress would not be there without it. Mark Kelley most likely lost his race. So did Sinema.

Maybe the DNC is behind Q-Anon.

This was a high level pass at the end of a long day. Ill dig more tomorrow.

 Like many I am marveling at, and confused by, the profound pusillanimity of so many of my fellow Americans.

It occurs to me to wonder if their physical weakness and likely literal physical cowardice has something to do with it. In American history we have never been en masse this weak. In general, most of us were strong, for most of our hustory

 He will be BY FAR the least legitimate President in American history. Yes, I remember the “corrupt bargain” of 1824, but John Quincy Adams did not engage in voter fraud in most of the elections in most of the States, and was not a known crook who had taken up to billions of dollars in indirect bribes. He also did not have a drug addict son who belonged in jail for being a pedophile.

I will not stop hoping Trump can get justice, but if the Dems DO get Joe in there they may well regret it pretty quickly, for a variety of reasons.

 Thinking about it Section 230 is not such a terrible thing.

The problem is not  REALLY that Big Tech is tacitly editorializing. What they are REALLY doing is playing the role of Political Action Committees. They are engaged in active political advocacy, having swung by one account 6 million votes.

So I would suggest that if they do not straighten up they should be regulated as PAC’s, and some proportion of their advertising revenues treated as political contributions.

I do not know the law, but I think a clever lawyer could make this work.

That would be both cleaner and more honest than revoking 230.

 I don’t know why. I should be a nervous wreck. But I feel good. Im smiling a lot for me. I guess my emotional work is starting to pay dividends.

It is worth noting that he was born 5 years into Hitler’s rule, and was 7 when the Nazis lost their final battles.  His parents were either Nazis themselves, or passive collaborators.  There really were not other options.  If they had been interned, it would be in his biography.

As I mentioned in a post I think I titled “The Little Boy who cried Fascist”, the words Nazis and Fascist have been so overused that it is understandable that people forget they have specific meanings.

And we need to remember that Nazis came, and come, from Germany.  They ruled that nation for a bit more than a decade, and there is every reason to believe that a large number of them never repented their sins, never forgave the West and the Russians, and retain many of the core beliefs that first led them onto the battlefield, and to build and operate concentration and death camps.

The Great Reset may LITERALLY be the brainchild of a Nazi, with zero embellishment or exaggeration.  I am just reading his obviously carefully circumscribed biography, and will not claim that with further reading my views may not evolve, but that is the first pass.

And the shit he is talking about sure sounds an awful like the “perverted science” that Churchill fulminated against and saw as one of their primary enemies.

Hell, with mind control, could the Nazis have simply not just fitted all the Jews with microchips?  Is this guy trying to do something other than treat all of us the way the Nazis treated the Jews?

It is later than you think, I think.

 The Epoch Times is the only news outlet doing what to me is a responsible job covering both the fraud allegations, and the investigations into them.

People who have lived with Communism know how bad Communism is, so they are paying close attention, and are obviously vastly less apathetic and complacent than most of our media is.

 Im getting a picture of him hovering around the present Supreme Court. As I have shared I literally think that sort of thing is possible. This book is an interesting resource in that regard: https://www.amazon.com/Return-Tomorrow-George-C-Ritchie/dp/080078412X

I continue to believe he was murdered. He died “in his sleep” but was found with a pillow over his head. I do not believe an autopsy was done.

In my view there is every reason to believe several dozen men, and a few women, exist out there who are smart enough, trained enough, and experienced enough that, with added planning to make sure the right cops, right judges, and overall right environment are present, murders can be committed with close to impunity.

And killing Scalia was an obvious move. As I recall, only the diligent efforts of Mitch McConnell prevented his replacement with an anti-Constitutionalist.

 Virtually all of the problems in America are caused by about 200 people whose names we know.

There is no reason so many of us have to be ignorant and stupid.

There is no good reason for poverty in our nation.

There is no reason we could not all have easy access to world class healthcare (but not the way the lunatics want it).

All of our problems have solutions, and in most cases relatively easy and obvious solutions that could be implemented by people possessed of no special skills or talents other than honesty and goodwill.

The system is beautiful.  The system runs itself.  But people within the system continue to break and weaken it.

Governments do not create anything.  Sometimes they pay for the creations, as with the military and space exploration, but by and large their only POSSIBLE role is inhibition.  Their main action is getting in the way.

If there is something we want to stop, like crime, that is good.  

But if you want economic innovation and invention, then the best role of the government is none.  No role at all.

And here is the thing: Google and Facebook and Twitter depend on the inferior educations most people received in high school and college for their tricks.  I do think all should be treated as publishers, because they are clearly editors.  

And even there, if you think about it, what 230 does is PROTECT them from the consequences of their actions.  In a truly free market, anyone who is genuinely hurt can and should be able to sue.  The government is not tolerating what they are doing, it is ENABLING it.

As I ponder this, I realize I’m a bit out of my depth on that specific topic, but I do feel that the internet could and should still be the Wild West.  The only banned speech should be speech that would be illegal anywhere else, which is specific threats, some types of pornography, and the like.

By specifically editorializing through Fact Checkers who only react to conservative speech, Facebook and others actively suppress the First Amendment right to freedom of speech.  They are a for profit platform, but at the same time according to the laws it should be possible to sue them if they are pushing an openly partisan agenda. In important respects, they are acting as de facto lobbyists for the Democrats, as are Google and Twitter.

And again, we all have an interest in reducing election fraud.  That sort of thing is a proper role of government.  It is something we want less of.
