The Wizard Of Fraud

By Ben Garrison/Grrr Graphics

“PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN, THERE’S NO EVIDENCE OF ELECTION FRAUD”

We all know the Deep State Democrat Socialist Party took over many voting booths in key states to add fraudulent votes in favor of their demented candidate, Joe Biden. The Deep State corporate legacy media instantly pronounced Creepy Joe the victor and locked down a narrative that the overall election procedure was clean as a whistle while Trump and his supporters were simply poor sports.

The gaslighting and smoke blowing by the Deep State and its propaganda monkeys the mass media, have not lessened. They hope we all breathe in their flowery opium of lies and go to sleep.

Biden is portrayed as holding the ‘Office of the President Elect.” There is no such office. He’s not the president elect. His so-called victory was obtained by fraudulent means.

President Trump and his team have effectively pulled back the curtain on the massive and coordinated fraud that occurred. The Deep State threw a great many levers of power to make it happen.

We need to have the brains, heart, and courage to expose the fraud and send the traitors to prison. Time to click the heels of our Ruby Slippers three times!

Invasion of the Body Snatchers: Psychological Warfare Disguised as a Pandemic Threat

By John W. Whitehead

“Look! You fools! You’re in danger! Can’t you see? They’re after you! They’re after all of us! Our wives…our children…they’re here already! You’re next!”—Dr. Miles Bennell, Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956)

It’s like Invasion of the Body Snatchers all over again.

The nation is being overtaken by an alien threat that invades bodies, alters minds, and transforms freedom-loving people into a mindless, compliant, conforming mob intolerant of anyone who dares to be different, let alone think for themselves.

However, while Body Snatchers—the chilling 1956 film directed by Don Siegel—blames its woes on seed pods from outerspace, the seismic societal shift taking place in America owes less to biological warfare reliant on the COVID-19 virus than it does to psychological warfare disguised as a pandemic threat.

As science writer David Robson explains:

Fears of contagion lead us to become more conformist and tribalistic, and less accepting of eccentricity. Our moral judgements become harsher and our social attitudes more conservative when considering issues such as immigration or sexual freedom and equality. Daily reminders of disease may even sway our political affiliations… Various experiments have shown that we become more conformist and respectful of convention when we feel the threat of a disease… the evocative images of a pandemic led [participants in an experiment] to value conformity and obedience over eccentricity or rebellion.

This is how you persuade a populace to voluntarily march in lockstep with a police state and police themselves (and each other): by ratcheting up the fear-factor, meted out one carefully calibrated crisis at a time, and teaching them to distrust any who diverge from the norm.

This is not a new experiment in mind control.

The powers-that-be have been pushing our buttons and herding us along like so much cattle since World War II, at least, starting with the Japanese attacks on Pearl Harbor, which not only propelled the U.S. into World War II but also unified the American people in their opposition to a common enemy.

That fear of attack by foreign threats, conveniently torqued by the growing military industrial complex, in turn gave rise to the Cold War era’s “Red Scare.” Promulgated through government propaganda, paranoia and manipulation, anti-Communist sentiments boiled over into a mass hysteria that viewed anyone and everyone as suspect: your friends, the next-door neighbor, even your family members could be a Communist subversive.

This hysteria, which culminated in hearings before the House Un-American Activities Committee, where hundreds of Americans were called before Congress to testify about their so-called Communist affiliations and intimidated into making false confessions, also paved the way for the rise of an all-knowing, all-seeing governmental surveillance state.

The 9/11 attacks followed a similar script: a foreign invasion mounts an attack on an unsuspecting nation, the people unite in solidarity against a common foe, and the government gains greater war-time powers (read: surveillance powers) that, conveniently enough, become permanent once the threat has passed.

The government’s scripted response to the COVID-19 pandemic has been predictably consistent: once again, in order to fight this so-called “foreign” foe, the government insists it needs even greater surveillance powers.

As we’ve seen since 9/11 and more recently with the COVID lockdowns, those in power have always had a penchant for enacting extreme measures to combat perceived threats. However, unlike the modern America police state, the American government circa the 1950s did not have at its disposal the arsenal of invasive technologies that are such an intrinsic part of our modern surveillance state.

Today, we are watched and tracked 24/7; data is collected on us at an alarming rate by governmental and corporate entities; and with the help of powerful computer programs, American domestic intelligence agencies sweep our websites, listen in on our telephone calls and read our text messages at will.

Now with the COVID pandemic and its offshoots such as contact tracing and immunity passports, the governmental landscape is even more invasive.

Yet no matter the threat, the underlying principle remains the same: can we hold onto our basic freedoms and avoid succumbing to the soul-sucking dredge of conformity that threatens our very humanity?

Residents refuse to cooperate in 74% of COVID-19 cases in New Jersey

Via The Washington Examiner

New Jersey has more than 30 contact tracers for every 100,000 residents statewide, but many residents refuse to cooperate.

The noncooperation rate with contract tracers has reached a “whopping” 74% of COVID-19 cases, Gov. Phil Murphy said during a Monday news briefing.

“Quite frankly, this is unacceptable, and we need folks to turn that around,” Murphy said. “It is extremely critical for contact tracers to get in touch with the close contacts of those who test positive to help us stop the spread of this virus. You may think you’ll just call your contacts yourself, but this is a task that is best left to a trained public health professional, a contact tracer, in fact, who can answer questions about access to testing or social supports that they may need to safely quarantine or isolate.”

There have been more than 371,500 cases of COVID-19 in New Jersey, and 15,500 confirmed deaths from the virus, which originated in China. Officials say the increases in the state’s cases are likely a direct result of the Thanksgiving holiday, and health officials in the Garden State urged residents to exercise caution during the upcoming holidays.

“Our contact tracers are our fellow New Jerseyans, and we are committed to continuing to hire New Jerseyans for this important work,” Murphy said. “These are people from within our own communities stepping forward to protect their very neighbors and through their commitment we are beating our bench marks. We’re holding up our end of this battle. We urge you, folks, to please work with us.”

“Remember our contact tracers are not on a witch hunt; they are only concerned with stopping the spread of this virus,” the governor added. “We urge you, please work with our contact tracers and do your part to end this pandemic. The more people who cooperate, the sooner we can slow the spread and crush the curve, the sooner we can emerge from this pandemic.”

New York Sends “Mask Squads” To Enforce Social Distancing In Two Counties

Via Zero Hedge

In another page right out of the gestapo playbook, the Health Department of New York state – which is now losing thousands of people every day due to its high taxes, draconian rules and coercive regulations – has put out an urgent appeal for what the NY Post called “Mask squad” staffers to go to Rockland and Orange counties “to perform COVID-19 community outreach and enforce mask and social distancing safety protocols amid fears of a second wave of the virus.”

“The DOH is responsible for community outreach and enforcement of Executive Orders and regulations related to the use of face-coverings/masks and social distancing to prevent the spread of COVID-19,” the department said in a Monday email to employees in its office of health insurance programs.

“Staff is needed for immediate URGENT deployment to Orange and Rockland counties to assist with this critical public health and community enforcement effort,” the recruitment pitch to staffers in the agency’s office of health insurance programs obtained by the Post said.

Staffers would volunteer to work in Orange and Rockland counties in shifts that run from Saturday, Dec. 5 through Friday, Dec. 11 and consequent weeks through New Year’s Day. Workers who volunteer for the Orange-Rockland mask squad will be eligible for overtime pay.

The two counties, which both have large ultra-Orthodox Jewish communities where some have defied safety protocols, have among the highest coronavirus infection rates in the state. The Middletown area of Orange had an alarming 8.16% COVID-19 infection rate as of Saturday. The city of Newburgh in Orange had a 7.78% infection rate, while the Orange-Monroe County border towns posted a 7.8 percent positivity rate. Rockland County’s infection rate was 5.8%.

Asking volunteers to redeploy to help address the pandemic is not uncommon, said Health Department spokesman Gary Homes.

“It’s all hands on deck,” Holmes said, adding that “we’re active in all counties where are there are increasing infection rates. These aren’t the only ones.”

Holmes said DOH employees have also been redeployed to help staff drive-through testing sites and enforce COVID-19 safety protocols at the airports.

Orange County Executive Steve Neuhaus welcomed state health cavalry: “We’re on it. We got it. But you can never say it enough and the repercussions of these numbers continuing to climb warrant a strong message of awareness and enforcement,” Neuhaus told The Post. He noted the state police are also involved in educating residents and enforcing the safety protocols.

“I met with the state police last week. They’re going to supermarkets, department stores. They’re saying, `hey wear a mask, here’s a free mask.” He said a second wave of the pandemic is his county is worrisome. “It’s definitely a concerning increase as we’re starting to see coming from the Thanksgiving gathering. We had a number of deaths over the weekend,” Neuahus said.

“Our hospitalizations are going up. I haven’t agreed with Governor Cuomo all this time throughout this crisis, but he’s right on the hospital capacity. “We’re not there — we’re about 40 or 50 percent being occupied. That is the number to watch. It’s how many people are filling my hospitals.”

I’m bracing for an uptick now, so do I think it’s going to be astronomical and is it going to be crippling? I hope it’s not but we’re preparing for it. That’s why we’re on the phone with the hospitald every week.”

“It’s hard to find staff right now. That’s why we’re constantly talking.”

Meanwhile, in the latest escalation on Monday, governor Cuomo warned he will order the shutdown of indoor dining in New York City restaurants if the COVID-19 infection rate and hospitalization rates don’t stabilize, a virtual certainty… which of course is a paradox: after all, New York City has some of the highest mask compliance numbers in the nation, and yet it has soaring case numbers, prompting such obvious questions as this one from Kevin Sorbo: “If lockdowns and masks worked, we wouldn’t see the states with the strictest mandates having the highest cases”.

Minnesota resident’s Christmas light display shamed for ‘harmful impact’ to community in anonymous letter

Via Fox News

An unidentified St. Anthony, Minnesota resident has received an anonymous letter on Monday chastising them for their Christmas light display.

“The idea of twinkling, colorful lights are a reminder of divisions that continue to run through our society, a reminder of systemic biases against our neighbors who don’t celebrate Christmas or who can’t afford to put up lights of their own,” the letter, shared by Crime Watch Minneapolis, reads. “We must do work of educating ourselves about the harmful impact an outward facing display like yours can have.”

The letter then challenges the resident to “respect the dignity of all people, while striving to learn from differences, ideas, and opinions of our neighbors.”

“We must come together collectively and challenge these institutional inequities,” the letter concludes. “St. Anthony is a community welcoming of all people and we must demand better for ourselves.”

The letter has received pushback on social media, with former Baltimore Ravens quarterback Derek Anderson replying “Saw this coming a long time ago. “If I can’t have it nobody can” or “ if they have it we all deserve it” that’s not life.”

Another user pointed out the irony that the letter writer is “doing exactly what they accuse the homeowner of doing- not being accepting of others.”

“I would redouble my lights,” they added, echoing similar calls from other Twitter users.

Help At Last: House Relief Bill Will Provide Free ‘Going Out Of Business’ Signs To Small Business Owners

Via The Babylon Bee (Satire)

WASHINGTON, DC—After weeks of partisan bickering in Congress, Nancy Pelosi and Mitch McConnell have announced that a bipartisan relief bill is finally ready for Trump’s signature. The bill will include stimulus to replenish Pelosi’s ice cream freezer, more money for the Congressional Sexual Harassment Legal Defense Fund, and free “Going Out Of Business” signs for small business owners.

“We are proud, so proud, to finally bring Americans the help they so desperately need in the form of millions of free “Going Out of Business” and “Store Closing” signs for hard-working business owners,” said Nancy Pelosi. “In spite of heartless political posturing from the Republicans, we are proud to say that we managed to work together to get something done for the American people!”

“We are also proud to finally bring Americans the help they so desperately need with all these free, high-quality printed signs,” said Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. “In spite of heartless political posturing from the Democrats, we are proud to say that we managed to work together to get something done for the American people!”

The new signs will be printed in a congressional staffer’s office over the next 3 years and will cost approximately 12 million dollars each.
