Battles Over the Constitution

Time to call out the white elephant in the room. Let’s take a look at where people are protesting, what they are protesting, and why they are protesting. There is no big surprise that when we examine the issues, there are few common factors. First we look at the leaders in those hot beds.

Bill de Blasio is an American politician who has served as the 109th mayor of New York City since 2014. A member of the Democratic Party, he was New York City’s public advocate from 2010 to 2013.

Andrew Graham Beshear is an American attorney and politician. Since December 2019, he has served as the 63rd Governor of Kentucky. A member of the Democratic Party, he is the son of Steve Beshear, the 61st Governor of Kentucky. Beshear was elected attorney general of Kentucky in November 2015.

Roy Asberry Cooper III is an American politician and attorney who has served as the 75th Governor of North Carolina since January 1, 2017. A member of the Democratic Party, Cooper had previously served as the elected Attorney General of North Carolina since 2001.

Anthony Steven Evers is an American politician and educator who has served as the 46th governor of Wisconsin since January 7, 2019. A member of the Democratic Party, Evers previously served as the Wisconsin Superintendent of Public Instruction.

Gretchen Esther Whitmer is an American politician serving as the 49th governor of Michigan. A member of the Democratic Party, she served in the Michigan House of Representatives from 2001 to 2006 and in the Michigan Senate from 2006 to 2015. Whitmer was born and raised in Michigan.

Thomas Mark Barrett is an American politician and member of the Democratic Party who has served as the 44th Mayor of Milwaukee, Wisconsin since 2004. He served in the United States House of Representatives from 1993 to 2003, and the Wisconsin State Senate from 1989 to 1993.

Philip Dunton Murphy is an American financier, diplomat and Democratic Party politician who has been the 56th governor of New Jersey since January 2018. He served as the United States Ambassador to Germany from 2009 to 2013, during which time he dealt with fallout from the United States diplomatic cables leak.

It’s no surprise they are all democrats. All of them have another thing in common. They all believe they have the right and duty to cease total control when it is in the best interest of the people they serve. The only thing is, they are far from serving the people who elected them. They all believe in a strong centralized government. We can see how that concept of a strong centralized government eliminates every opportunity of being represented. They all ignore the protests. They all call the protests a political move blaming it on the republicans. Every attempt to regain the balance of power guaranteed by state constitutions is called a political attack. In essence we have a group of democrats who believe executive power is supreme power and should not be questioned. We have a group of people who oppose the constitution they swore to uphold and protect. In reality we have a group of democrats who are fighting against the constitution and the balance of power it guarantees. After looking at a number of stories we gather a number of views from different angles.

I have to note, I did not include links to sites that require a paid subscription to view the article. When we look at the general claims from those who are protesting we see a few common threads. People are telling the press, they are exercising their right to assemble and freedom of speech. We also have a story where people are showing up carrying arms. They are drawing attention to the second amendment which has been under attack for some time. People are protesting because they are not being heard. People are protesting because they live in cities and states led by democrats who refuse to listen to the voice of those who elected them. Demonstrators believe in a republic where elected officials listen to the people who put them in office. But that system is not working in particular areas in the US. This is not an isolated incident and is not restricted to COVID rules and regulations. This is a problem that has been around for years. The virus only magnified the problem.

Of course we have a number of news reports that people are holding Trump signs and the media has joined those democratic leaders in an attempt to ignore the core issue and turn the nationwide protests into a political battle. A quick look at the signs and and few interviews with the protesters tells us, people are taking to the streets because their rights are being denied and they see leaders ignoring and defying the constitution. That is the real threat America faces and no smoke screen will cover that up. Protesters all over the US are drawing attention to the constitution and the treats we face today.

Let’s take a logical look at the accusations leveled by those democratic leaders and the media who has chosen to support them. First of all, news is biased. The news we see is controlled by the highest paying advertiser. If the democratic party is the highest bidder for advertising, the media will go out of their way to write and post stories that support their advertiser. Today it is more difficult to dig deep enough to find the truth on any subject.

We have a group of powerful democrats who call protests supporting and defending the constitution a political move. They call it a political battle. Let’s take the democratic view a step further. Isn’t it rather alarming when one party calls an organized protest supporting the constitution a battle? Of course those democrats chose to ignore and over ride the constitution. This has been going on long before this virus crisis. Democrats have led fights against the second amendment. Democrats are constantly introducing bills that give special privileges and funds to minorities. Which is often viewed as buying votes but can also be viewed as a violation of civil rights when one group, any group is given special favors, funding, and privileges and other groups are denied those privileges, loans, and funding. It does not matter which minority group is given special privileges, it is a violation of the basic fundamental, we are all created equal. In the long run, granting special privileges to select groups is one item on a long list of excuses democrats are using to challenge the constitution. Their plan is to chop away at the constitution one article and one amendment at a time.

Democrats have been trying to under mind the judicial branch of the government. Recent court decisions across the US pointed out how executive powers have been abused during this crisis. Democratic leaders shunned those court decisions calling them political attacks. It doesn’t matter if protesters in the streets or supreme court judges point out violations against the constitution, democrats claim they are political attacks. That should answer the question for all Americans. Democrats across the US have declared war on the constitution and America’s civil rights. It doesn’t make sense to call every attempt to uphold and defend the constitution an attack. Support for the constitution is viewed as an attack only by those who intend to alter, change, or destroy the constitution. And that is what those protests have been about and what the will continue to be about. Protecting the constitution is primary.

We don’t need a new Constitution. We need to elect people who take their oath to support and defend the constitution seriously. Our rights and liberty depend upon it.

Wisconsin: The Governor Verses the Constitution.

Wisconsin: The Governor Verses the Constitution.

Over this past week we have seen a lot happen in Wisconsin. We had to wait what felt like an eternity to hear the State Supreme Court decision on stay at home orders during this virus crisis. Within hours of the decision, Governor Tony Evers recorded a live phone interview with CNN. During his interview with CNN Evers was allowed to voice his opinion on a 161 page Supreme Court Decision. The majority of the claims Governor Evers made were completely contrary to the written decision released a few hours before the governor’s live interview.

Governor: “Overturning stay-at-home order puts Wisconsin ‘into chaos’”

Decision: ¶65 “Therefore, I conclude there is a legal basis upon which to consider the Legislature’s extraordinary request. I too am appreciative of the concerns raised by COVID-19 and the possibility of throwing the state into chaos. Accordingly, although our declaration of rights is effective immediately, I would stay future actions to enforce our decision until May 20, 2020.”

Governor: “Wisconsin Republican Legislature and those 4 Supreme Court Justices decided …”

Decision: Wisconsin Legislature, Petitioner

“In its last act of judicial activism, the majority takes it upon

itself to immediately overturn Emergency Order 28, a remedy neither

party asked for.”

¶167 “Some would like to characterize this case as a battle

over the constitutional limits on executive power——can an

executive branch officer really shut down businesses, limit

travel, and forbid public gatherings? These are important

questions for sure, but they are not what this case is about. No

party has raised or developed such a claim. Some would also like

to frame this as a challenge to the government’s potential infringement of certain constitutional protections like the freedoms of religion, speech, and assembly, and the right to hunt and fish. But these issues are not before us either. No party

has raised or developed a claim along these lines. ”

¶254 “First, in what is a recurring theme, this argument was

not developed by any party. This is raised sua sponte by this

court without the benefit of adversarial briefing. We risk serious

error when we issue broad rulings based on legal rationales that

have not been tested through the crucible of adversarial

litigation. When accepting an original action, this danger is

even greater.”

https://www.wpr.org/sites/default/files/wi_legislature_v._andrea_palm_-_decision.pdf

Court records show the lawsuit was not filed by one party, or only by Republics on the State Legislature, but by both parties in a unified effort to ensure the security of the State Constitution they took an oath to defend. Evers wants people to believe this court case was a battle between Democrats and Republicans. Nothing could be further from the truth. Judge ROGGENSACK went out of his way to prove this decision was not a political move or one party attacking another. Evers wants people to believe every Democrat in Wisconsin supported his move to place the Constitution on hold, completely ignore it, and the Constitution needs to be modified. That is not the opinion of the Supreme Court nor the Legislature made up of Democrats and Republicans. As a whole the majority of the judges in the Wisconsin Supreme Court as well as the State Legislature agree, one man should never stand above the State Constitution establishing checks and balances to protect the rights of all Wisconsin citizens. Evers claims 69% of Wisconsin supported his decision to seize total control and pass that control onto those of his choosing.

Governor: “Today absolutely Republican Legislatures and those four Supreme Court justices decided that facts don’t matter, statues don’t matter, and frankly it puts our state into chaos. There are no regulations out there. Period.”

Reporter: “Does this mean all businesses in your state can open tomorrow or right away?”

Governor: “Yes. The Tavern league of Wisconsin sent a message to all the people in their organization saying you can open now. And that’s happening all across Wisconsin as we speak. So this is the wild west now.”

https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2020/05/14/governor-tony-evers-wisconsin-supreme-court-strikes-down-stay-at-home-ctn-vpx.cnn

This clearly indicates, the governor did not read the court decision. Evers’ statement shows, his moves are 100% politically motivated. It also shows Evers has zero concern for the people he was elected to serve. By implying the Tavern League now sets the laws and standards in Wisconsin, Evers single handedly created a state of chaos. Which of course was his intent.

As governor, Evers is sworn to uphold the laws of Wisconsin. He had the opportunity to educate the public on the court decision but instead chose to turn the decision into a political battle, drive a wedge between democrats and republicans not only on the political field but throughout the state, and imply the court decision opened the door for any organization or individual to interpret the law they see fit. To imply one court decision removed all laws from Wisconsin is dangerous and naive statement beneath the dignity of any elected official in any capacity. What did motivate Evers to make such a statement?

After reading the court decision no one can argue the fact, this was a case of one person challenging the state constitution in what everyone agrees a national crisis.

¶69 “Endowing one person with the sole power to create,

execute, and enforce the law contravenes the structural separation

of powers established by the people. Through the Wisconsin

Constitution, the people confer distinct powers on the

legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government.

“Three clauses of the Wisconsin Constitution embody this

separation: Article IV, Section 1”

What was Evers’ motive to change the State Supreme Court decision centered on the State Constitution into a political battle between parties? The detail that should come to every educated voter mind is the fact Tony Evers was in charge of the state education system since 2001.

“After working as a schoolteacher for several years, he became a school administrator, serving as a principal and, later, district superintendent. Evers first ran for Superintendent of Public Instruction in 1993 and again in 2001, losing both elections. Evers was instead appointed deputy superintendent, a position he served in from 2001 to 2009. In 2009, he ran for Superintendent of Public Instruction again, this time winning. He was reelected twice, in 2013 and 2017.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Evers

There is no better expert on the Wisconsin school system than Tony Evers. Before making that phone call to CNN, Evers had to decide to gamble on the presumption that no one would read the actually court decision. Having a clear insight to the Wisconsin educational system, Evers felt secure enough to do a live interview, present his view of the facts knowing CNN would never question nor research his claims, and few if any individuals in Wisconsin would fact check his claims. Evers also banked on the idea that voters supporting his party would accept a pack of lies because it damages the reputation of the opposing party. Voters supporting Evers would accept statements aimed at damaging the reputation of Republicans without checking the actual facts. Evers comments achieved their goal. News agencies all over the country chose to air Evers comments, presenting them as facts without ever reading the actual court decision. Here is one random example of the fake news Evers sparked.

Wisconsin Is a Warning

On Wednesday night, the state’s highest court issued a hyperpartisan ruling that endangers thousands of lives.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court invalidated the state’s stay-at-home order on Wednesday in a 4–3 decision that condemned the public health measure as a grave assault on citizens’ constitutional rights. Two justices compared the order, which closed nonessential businesses and limited large gatherings of people, to the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II. Even though the plaintiffs and defendants agreed the court should put its ruling on hold, the majority of justices refused to do so, instead implementing the decision immediately. As a result, Wisconsinites flocked to reopened bars Wednesday night during a pandemic, in a state that is nowhere close to flattening the curve.

https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2020/05/wisconsin-supreme-court-strikes-down-stay-at-home-order.html

Like the governor, the media neglects to cover news in an unbiased fashion or provide a link for readers to further research the reasoning behind comments and the decision as a whole.

Decision: “We mention cases like Korematsu in order to test the limits of

government authority, to remind the state that urging courts to

approve the exercise of extraordinary power during times of

emergency may lead to extraordinary abuses of its citizens.”

“Meanwhile, Kelly’s concurrence displayed a remarkable lack of humility for a judge who was just soundly rejected by the people he serves. He proposed new, far-reaching limitations on the executive branch’s authority, carrying forward the Legislature’s crusade to strip the Democratic governor of his powers. Oddly enough, both Kelly and Bradley rooted their theories in the Wisconsin Constitution—but they repeatedly cited three opinions involving the federal Constitution: U.S. Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch’s dissent in Gundy v. U.S., Justice Antonin Scalia’s dissent in Morrison v. Olson, and Justice Clarence Thomas’ concurrence in Department of Transportation v. Association of American Railroads. None of these opinions actually carries legal weight. Yet it appears that Kelly and Bradley will transform them into Wisconsin law if they get the opportunity.”

That news story did provide a number of links to back up its story. The majority of links supplied take the reader to other biased articles written by the same news agency and other news agencies with articles that agree with their false statements. In other words, their reporting is biased and as any reader with an open mind can tell, is dedicated to changing state constitutions and our federal Constitution. Why do media outlets and a small minority of politicians want to change the Constitution? And why does the media go out of its way to hide any logical conversations about the Constitution from the public and throw up smoke screens to redirect public attention to senseless battles over just about every word in the Constitution?

So far we have a debate over rights preserved in the state constitution redirected into a political battle. And we have a governor with nearly 2 decades of experience in the state education system. Add to that certain media outlets who neglect to check the facts he presented. The first detail we need to consider is, what kind of educator in their right mind would teach a generation to accept opinions without gathering and examining facts? Socialist do. Communists rely on that type of thinking.

Is there a link between Governor Evers comments on the Supreme Court decision, the failing education system, and the democratic-socialist movement across the US? There is another leading indicator to consider. Every socialist movement relies in two main details, the ability to control people and taking away their ability to defend themselves. How does Governor Evers stand in gun control?

Democratic Gov. Tony Evers says Republican legislative leaders who oppose gun control bills that polls show enjoy broad public support are essentially telling the public to “go to hell.”

Evers made the comment Monday after calling the Republican-controlled Legislature into a special session — which will take place Nov. 7 — to take up a pair of gun control measures that GOP leaders have been unwilling to debate.

https://www.wpr.org/gov-tony-evers-calls-special-session-gun-control

The governor had called on lawmakers to take up an expansion of background checks and a so-called “red flag” law, which would allow gun rights to be temporarily revoked from individuals who are deemed by a court to be potentially harmful to themselves or others.

Republicans have argued the bills violate Second Amendment and due process rights. They declined to advance other gun-related proposals during the special session as well, though Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, R-Rochester, argued the Assembly’s work on suicide prevention and attempted veto overrides related to mental health funding would address the root cause of gun violence.

The governor has cited strong public support for both expanding background checks and the red-flag proposal. According to recent polls from Marquette University Law School, both measures have at least 80 percent approval from Wisconsin residents.

https://www.wpr.org/gov-tony-evers-may-call-another-special-session-state-gun-laws

To examine this piece of evidence, we need to consider a few facts. What was Evers’ motive in introducing those bills. I think the majority of people agree on back ground checks and the fact we need to get guns out of the hands of individuals who pose a threat to themselves and others. Wisconsin along with most other states have laws on the books that do just that. Legislatures told Evers his laws would be a violation of Constitutional rights. Another example of Evers attempting to under mind the Constitution.

Some accuse Republicans of catering to voters. Let’s check out the facts on that accusation. Wisconsin does have a bunch of hunters. Are they enough to sway a vote?

A blogger added up the deer license sales in just a handful of states and arrived at a striking conclusion:

There were over 600,000 hunters this season in the state of Wisconsin …. Allow me to restate that number: 600,000!

http://www.onwisconsinoutdoors.com/DeerHunting/AMERICAS-HUNTERS–Pretty-Amazing

The State of Wisconsin had 3,397,693 active registered voters on May 1, 2020.

https://elections.wi.gov/node/6886

Hunters account for less than 20% of general voters. Hardly a number to be concerned about at the polls. So we would have to accept the fact, the Republican majority in the Senate along with the majority of Democrats in the state legislature do not agree with Governor Evers’ quest to change the State Constitution. Not for far reaching gun laws going beyond laws already on the books. The legislature does not agree with changing the Constitution to open the doors for the confiscation of guns by any agency the governor decides to name in the future. We’ve seen that fail with the COVID orders. We can thank the Wisconsin legislative branch for putting a stop to that type of power grab in other areas.

After the court decision was released, mayors and county executives threatened to impose stricter restrictions in their cities and counties. Did you see what just happened? State gun control laws allow cities and counties to pass their own local laws. Every business in Wisconsin has the right to ban guns on their property. State law contains a list of properties where firearms are not allowed. Cities and counties have forearm ordinances on the books. If they wanted a total ban on guns, or certain types of guns, they have the right to pass ordinances in their cities and counties. Why do they refuse to pass local ordinances on guns, but want the state to pass state laws and the federal government to pass federal laws enforced throughout the country? If you have a problem in your backyard, handle it. But don’t make my problem your problem.

That was the problem we saw with the COVID laws. The entire state was made to suffer equally. If one city has people who refused to follow orders, stricter orders were put in effect for the entire state. And now we have cities and counties saying they will address local problems. In some areas that may be a good idea. I would suggest caution. If the State Supreme Court just told us those orders were unconstitutional, what good is it going to do when mayors and county executives begin passing local ordinances that are unconstitutional? The Supreme court already warned the door is open for companies and individuals to sue the state for damages. In the long run, lawmakers could cost taxpayers billions of dollars. Which would be nothing new. If you did a little research it would not take long to uncover one example after another of special interest groups demanding special treatment for one group or another. Shortly after a law is passed and certain groups receive special assistance based on sex, creed, color, or nationality, the same group that demanded that special treatment rushes in with a host of lawsuits representing groups who claim discrimination. Actions like that cost taxpayers billions of dollars. Much of that money is funneled into political campaigns promising programs for every minority under the sun. People are elected. New laws favoring one group above all others is passed. Lawsuits are filed and the wheels keep turning, driving the average taxpayer into the ground. This has to stop. This will continue until the average American voter takes on the responsibility of becoming an informed voter. Do not allow the media to deceive you.

Fear is the Real Crisis

Fear is the Real Crisis

Since we already know the devil is living in fear and can only lead through fear, how does that attitude transfer over to those he controls? We all know the devil has different degrees of control over people. Some are totally controlled by his evil powers while others drift in and out of the devil’s control in what appears to be a matter of convenience. Some of the worst offenders of that convenience excuse are Christians and churches who use their own form of fake news to instill fear while increasing numbers and of course income. Then we have the obvious, major corporations and corrupt political figures who always seem to have a plan to get ahead, gain more money and more control. If nothing else this coronavirus crises has shown the US who not to trust with power.

During his live news updates President Trump has repeatably said how he wants the states to exercise their authority and the federal government is in charge of overseeing those moves, gathering and examining the data, and of course making a decision when required. President Trump has called in hundreds of leaders and experts from many different fields. It is obvious no one is an expert in what has been called, “an unprecedented crises.” President Trump has exhibited his organizational skills and when required, his negotiation skills. Both of which depend on gathering and examining data. President Trump has put together large groups of experts in the medical field, logistics, computer modeling, and business to name a few. President Trump has been able to cross party lines in his meetings with governors and mayors across the US. For the most part they are united in the effort to put an end to this virus and get America back to work and back to normal. Of course there is a small minority who oppose every effort and blatantly oppose President Trump and his collection of experts at every turn. My dad would always say, “don’t complain unless you have a better idea.” That saying has its roots in the fact that some people are poor leaders. They have an inferiority complex and are not happy unless they put everyone down. Their natural knee jerk reaction is to find fault in everyone and everything, but never come up with an original idea or solution. To hide that fault, they strive to be the loud mouth in the group dominating every conversation and oppressing the thoughts and ideas of everyone else involved. In short, those are the type of people this world would be better off without. But for some reason they tend to attract large numbers of people. Mostly people with the same attitude and dysfunctional personalities.

In the middle of this war on the coronavirus we have to ask ourselves why a handful of politicians and major corporations decided to protest against plans to deal with this virus and reopen business in the United States. Minutes after a news briefing where the President’s plans are clearly laid out, Democratic leaders instantly condemn those plans. This is one fact I find impossible to understand.

Pelosi also said she hasn’t watched Trump’s daily briefings, in which the president often contradicts himself or offers false or inaccurate statements that his own team of health officials then have to rebut in real time.

“I don’t watch them. I sometimes see inadvertently or just by accident some of the news reporting on it,” Pelosi said of the briefings, which sometimes stretch for more than two hours. “But I just don’t have time for that. I am a busy person. I have a day job, and it’s not to watch the president contradict himself on TV.”

https://www.politico.com/news/2020/04/09/pelosi-trump-coronavirus-178633

Pelosi admits she has not watched any Presidential news briefing. She admits she knows nothing about plans to reopen the country. But Pelosi does not hesitate to condemn any plan to reopen business in the United States. We have to ask why? Pelosi and other Democratic leaders condemn every plan without listening to those plans. That indicates a serious inferiority complex most people instantly see through. Those Democratic leaders have not offered a plan of their own. Their only plan is to criticize any and every plan to reopen business in the United States. That is not a plan. That is treason in its highest form.

When we look at a problem, any problem, anyone with common sense would examine what information is available, and what information they need to solve the problem at hand. That is why the President brought hundreds of people together with skills in dozens of different fields. President Trump and his staff know they have to gather data on a scale the world has never seen before. It has to be gathered quickly, accurately, and placed in the hands of the best experts in the world to examine. That group of experts has to put aside their pride and have an open mind to examine every detail from every angle. If nothing else, President Trump has the skills and experience putting such groups of people together and motivating them to place the success of the project in front of personal interests. That is a skill few people have. If nothing else, everyone should see the contrast between Pelosi’s leadership skills and President Trump’s.

The project of opening up American business is very complicated. We all agree, this is going to require a large amount of data. While the people President Trump appointed to the task are working long hours in a race against time to formulate a plan, Pelosi has come out acting the part of the expert without offering a single detail, plan, or logical step.

How is this data going to be collected? Will states be in charge? What part will city, town, and village governments play? What about well organized charitable organizations? Will the military play a part? If so, what is the military role and how will the nerves of the average American citizen be calmed? During all of this, America has to fight fake news. Much of that news originating from overseas. Or worse yet, the Speaker of the House and other House members.

Somehow the testing has to be done. Where to begin? Data collected so far shows states in which the virus has little effect. Some counties have not been effected. Is it safe to reopen businesses in some counties and monitor the spread of the virus? Will the country reopen for business on a state by state basis or do we have to reduce that to a county by county basis? Maybe a city by city, or town by town basis. No one has ever had to formulate such a plan.

What about testing? How is the information transferred from the streets to those all over the country networking together to find a solution? Someone has to develop a database. I’m talking about a database everyone involved can use. A database that allows the information to be arranged in dozens of different ways to examine details the average person would miss. That database has to be fluid as well as reliable. The information, studies, and models have to be shared. The database has to be compatible with modeling programs already in place and used by the experts who have been studying the effects of this virus for months. The database has to be compatible with different operating systems. And of course the database has to be secure.

A system has to be in place to track who is tested, when they were tested, retested, the results of that test, and hundreds of other details. Sooner or later details on underlying conditions has to be gathered and examined. All of those facts have to be compared to systems like the latest census data.

While President Trump’s team is working on details to overcome the threat this virus poses, Pelosi has nothing better to do than complain that no one knows what they are doing, and whatever they are doing is wrong. Looking at all of this, there has to be underlying factors involved. Why do key Democrats oppose the obvious with no rhyme or reason? We could write their reactions off as pure political moves. But when we look at that aspect, opposing progress in the manner key Democrats are following is more like political suicide. If the Democrats today opposed President Roosevelt after Pearl Harbor was bombed, how would the average American react? If today’s Democrats opposed President Bush after the 911 attacks, how would the average American react? In either of those cases, I am sure the American public would demand that those people would immediately be removed from office. How did America reach this stage where we see so many people openly opposed to a united front to defeat the threat America is facing today?

Since 2016 America and the world has been engulfed in fake news. After four years obvious patterns have developed. When we put the facts together we see one obvious pattern. Two major groups insist on using fake news to sway the American voter. Actually fake news is being used all over the world to sway votes. Once we examine the facts something far sinister than lies floats to the surface.

We have to ask why Youtube decided to place an anti-Trump ad at the beginning of every news briefing. The average American voter is not afraid to tell the world if they support Trump, Biden, a third party, or as undecided. That is not the case for those anti-Trump ads. Whoever paid for those ads is going out of their way to hide their identity and main contributors. If you support a cause, and you believe in that cause, you are not afraid to put your name on that support. That is not the same case for the anti-Trump movement. They prefer to remain anonymous. To get at the bottom of this, we have to demand why. That is the logical course of action.

When we make a list of those involved in the anti-Trump movement we come up with a list of key Democrats. Not all Democrats, but those who always seem to gain the news spotlight. We also have a short list of mega companies that for the most part control Internet advertising, searches, and have in the past displayed their own brand of censorship. We also come up with the usual influence from overseas. Most of the overseas contributors are from the Middle East and communist countries. The obvious question is, why are key Democrats and major US corporations working in conjunction with overseas organizations the average American voter views as enemy forces? The obvious answer is politics. That raises a number of other questions.

Bernie Sanders ran for President as an open socialist and communist. Surprisingly that didn’t raise a red flag with many American voters. Which shows how misinformed many voters are and how easily swayed some voters are.

Biden is not far behind in socialist and communist influences. To understand those influences we have to look at Biden’s influence and accomplishments in Ukraine. We need to look much deeper than the speeches and promises made. We have to couple the actual facts and history in Ukraine to follow and then see who was involved in what, and get a glimpse into situations that are obviously hidden from the public’s eyes and ears.

First a glimpse into Ukraine’s history.

Modern history of Ukraine

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_history_of_Ukraine

This is important to understand the big picture. Especially today because a majority of the US has forgotten their roots. They have either forgotten or not been told why their parents of grandparents came to the US. It was of course to begin a new life. They came to the US to escape control by oppressive governments. In Ukraine’s case, we can see a history of control by foreign governments one after another. For the most part Ukraine is like many other European countries. They believe in a small federal government with the majority of control at the local level. The people want to be able to face those in charge of making decisions and spending tax dollars. They want to sit in the same room with the people elected to make decisions and discuss the options. In the long run, for the most part Ukraine is like many in this world who want to live their lives in freedom and security with as little government influence as possible. That’s what they wanted when they revolted from Russia. Freedom from big government is what they want today.

After declaring Independence from Russia, Ukraine had to undergo certain changes. Under communist rule all the companies were state owned. A plan was formulated to privatize those businesses.

History, goals of the reform and possible future policies towards privatization in Ukraine

The Revolution of Dignity of 2014 raised the expectations that more enterprises would be privatized as transparently as the Kryvorizhstal back in 2005. However, the major companies’ privatization attempts have been blocked either by vested interests of the incumbent management or by the oligarchic lobby.

The plan was simple. Sell companies to individuals and use the funds for government operations like the military. But it wasn’t as simple as that. Ukraine had to deal with corrupt officials in their own government as well as hundreds of outside influences.

You say 33 countries were represented at the forum. You mean the laundered Ukrainian money is now on the accounts of 33 countries?

“Thirty three are the ones that accepted the organizers’ invitation and came. For example, there were representatives from the Isle of Man and the island of Jersey. The 33 do not necessarily have anything to do with Yanukovych’s money.

“But it became clear to us from backstage chats that even the insular countries that imposed no sanctions on our ex-officials brought some information on their accounts, property, and assets.”

And what did Ukraine bring?

“My impression is that our law-enforcement bodies are making very slow progress in solving economic cases. There are several factors that cause this. These crimes are very complicated indeed, and one must know how to tackle them. Our side does not have this experience. Moreover, the investigation of these crimes needs proper coordination, whereas in Ukraine the Interior Ministry and the Prosecution Service stay out of contact.”

The press service of the Prosecutor General’s Office of Ukraine released the other day a statement of the Acting Prosecutor General Oleh Makhnitsky that Ukraine knows how to speed up the recovery of billions-worth funds stolen from the Ukrainian people and criminally smuggled out of this country. He allegedly said this in London at a joint press conference with US Attorney General Eric Holder and British Home Secretary Theresa May. What is it all about?

“I don’t know about the ‘summary procedure’ Makhnitsky spoke about. I have a record of his final speech – either I missed it or it was not there. He delivered a message, as all the others did, that the recovery of funds is a long and difficult process.

“In theory, Ukraine can recover the money quickly. Other countries are ready to render prompt assistance in recovering these funds. But the reality is that if Ukraine fails to supply information about the criminal origin of funds, even the money now frozen on European banks’ accounts will have to be unfrozen.”

I have pages of links and data collected. It would take a volume of books to gather all the information on Ukraine, the problems they face, who is involved, and what steps are being taken to overcome the corruption they have seen. To keep this as short as possible, here is a list of articles, references, and sources.

Joe Biden Forced Ukraine to Fire Prosecutor for Aid Money

Biden bragged in 2018 that, as vice president, he threatened to withhold $1 billion in U.S. loan guarantees if Ukraine did not fire its top prosecutor Viktor Shokin. Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani alleged for months that Biden wanted Shokin fired because Shokin reportedly undertook an anti-corruption investigation into Ukrainian oligarch Mykola Zlochevsky, the owner of Burisma Holdings, which employed Joe Biden’s lobbyist son Hunter as a board member starting in 2014, reportedly paying him $50,000 a month. The Biden camp countered that Shokin was widely seen by the U.S. and Europe — and inside Ukraine — as ineffective, corrupt, and a hindrance to Ukraine’s progress. Ukraine’s parliament removed Shokin in 2016.

Former U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry confirmed that the Obama Administration had been working on the dismissal of the then-prosecutor general of Ukraine, Viktor Shokin. “All of us in the Administration were trying to get rid of that prosecutor. From Obama to the secretary of state, to the vice president – all of us were working on that – the ambassador…” Kerry said, according to the Voice of America.

UNIAN memo. Ukrainian authorities have been probing into money laundering in the amount of over US$33 million during the acquisition of a group of companies of Kherson oil transshipment, in which Wirelogic Technology AS, Digitex Organization LLP, and ex-Minister of Ecology, businessman Mykola Zlochevsky’s Burisma Holdings Limited were involved. Hunter Biden, son of former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, was a member of the latter’s board.

Beyond any shadow of doubt the sale of state owned companies in Ukraine met with nothing but closed door, backroom deals. Funding had to come from somewhere. The people in Ukraine who purchased those companies on paper didn’t have the funds. In most cases the sale price was pennies on the dollar. When you are dealing with companies worth hundreds of billions of dollars, you are still talking about billions of dollars. Money no individual in Ukraine had after declaring independence from Russia. Where did those funds come from?

Let’s take a look at the investment opportunities. Doors were open to purchase companies worth several billions of dollars for a few hundred million or less. The opportunity to see returns of 1000% and greater were on the table ready to be divided. Who do you think were attracted to that table to feast? Those with bank accounts large enough to make cash offers and close the deal fast.

After weeks of pulling up public information it became evident that individuals and companies who purchased those companies in Ukraine took every measure to conceal their identity. They hid behind holding companies, trust funds, and created a paper trail between Ukraine and themselves spanning a number of companies in numerous countries making it nearly impossible for anyone to link the purchase to the actual source of funds.

In April 2014, the Serious Fraud Office of the United Kingdom launched a money laundering investigation against Zlochevsky and accounts of Burisma Holdings and its parent Brociti Investments at the London branch of BNP Paribas containing US$23 million were frozen. That money was transferred as a result of complex transactions by a company controlled by a Ukrainian businessman Serhiy Kurchenko, a subject of the European Union restrictive measures.[39] When the Ukrainian prosecutor general’s office failed to provide documents needed for the investigation, a British court in January 2015 dropped the case and ordered to unfreeze the assets.[40] In September 2015, then-U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt gave a speech in which he called out Ukrainian prosecutors for failing to cooperate with the investigation.[40]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burisma_Holdings

This is highly unusual unless there is a good reason for individuals and companies to create the maximum amount of distance between themselves and the companies in Ukraine they purchased. To name a few reasons, organized crime was involved. That brought in arms dealing, drug dealing, and human trafficking, the last thing predominant politicians and businesses want to be linked to. Billions of dollars of US funds and funds from other countries were funneled through those companies into the bank accounts of major investors. Initial profits were not enough for some of those investors. How do we find out who those investors are? How to we trace them down?

The links above show how Ukraine has made it a top priority to clean up its reputation and prove to the world Ukraine has a government for the people and by the people. Investigations have been going in since 2005, escalated after the 2014 Ukraine revolution, and continue today. When we look at those investigations we can’t help but realize President Trump was being impeached over investigations that began a decade before he took office. Which brings us to the most obvious point of all, how to identify those involved in the purchase of Ukrainian businesses. To construct a list all we need to do is pay attention to those who have been going out of their way to put a stop to investigations in Ukraine. Everyone around the world can see who those individuals and companies are. Facebook is one of those companies who has gone out of their way to remove reports, comments, and links that demand on investigation. The ad giant Google has been more than one sided in it statistic placement of ads aimed at destroying President Trump and swaying the election. Many US news agencies have gone out of their way to confuse the issue muddy the waters, add fake news stories, and to be blunt, become perfectly biased on the 2020 election. Why did those news agencies abandon their code of ethics? Everyone involved in the corruption in Ukraine is running scared.

We have to ask the logical question, why are news agencies, US politicians, and major corporations backing a socialist candidate for President? Sure Biden is socialist. Look at the government he helped install in Ukraine. A government that was over thrown by the people in 2014. The people Biden hand picked and supported with US funds have been arrested, tried, convicted, and sentenced. Some fled the country and face outstanding warrants. Those are the type of people Biden associated with and worked with to arrange those sweet deals when Ukraine sold those companies.

Why would individuals and companies back a socialist? Are there backroom deals we will never hear about? Do those companies and politicians really believe they will be safe once socialism reaches the White House? Can they really trust a socialist or the next socialist to gain power in the US? Socialism is a real threat in the 2020 election. What makes those individuals and companies willing to back up a socialist with their check books? To the average person there is little to gain and a lot to loose. In the blink of an eye a socialist government can cease businesses, bank accounts, and every asset and freedom we have as Americans. What would force people to take that chance? Nothing but fear.

If Biden wins the election, their secrets of what happened in Ukraine are safe. If President Trump is elected, those backroom deals stand a pretty good chance of being exposed for the world to see. Politicians who have been mouthing off about gun control in the US will be linked to arms deals in Ukraine. Politicians who have been spouting off about their concern for immigrants and minorities will be linked to human trafficking. Politicians who have been promising tax cuts for decades will be linked to money laundering in Ukraine including US tax dollars. If President Trump is reelected we may see the political system in the United States implode. If Biden is elected President we can be assured, the truth will be buried.

One Spiritual View of COVID-19

Updates April 9, 2020

Reviewing the last few days of the Presidential news conferences, the US witnessed President Trump doing what he is best known for, training and encouraging people to be the best at their jobs. April 6, 2020 we saw President Trump basically attacked by news reporters. Those reporters were using the nationally televised conference to market their fake news stories. At times President Trump blasted those reporters for attempting to use such tactics. Other times the President simply refused to answer their questions.

On April 7^th we saw President Trump initiate a new plan. The President and his entire staff were very careful to identify sources and provide information and locations to study additional information. I other words, the President and his staff were training reporters how to properly investigate and report on the news.

The press conference on April 8^th was a completely different story. On April 8^th reporters asked questions, identified their sources, and offered statistics and data uncovered during their research. President Trump displayed the same skills used during his TV show The Apprentice where he outlined a project, provided basic steps, set goals, and allowed the contestants to display their skills. The show was based on teams competing on a project to show organizational and creative skills.

It is rare to see anyone use everyday situations to educate people much less direct and encourage people to be the best at what they do for a living. President Trump displayed those skills and passions on national TV. On April 8^th the President and his staff praised reporters for investigating the questions at hand and offering information they were able to verify. We’ve seen President Trump blast fake news in the past. Instead of condemning those reporters, the President proudly displayed his passion for bringing the best out of people and making them the professionals they long to be.

On a side note. If Hydroxychloroquine turns out to be a vaccine for COVID-19, it just may be a cure for the common cold, another variant of the coronavirus. Imagine a President putting a team of researches together to not only discover a vaccine for COVID-19, but cure the common cold. This may only be a personal opinion at this point, but it is something to consider.

One more thing happened. I called a very spiritual friend who sent me a video. In the video a young man claimed to hear God’s voice. He warned there was something strange going on, but could not place his finger upon what was happening. I can tell you for a fact, that is how the Holy Spirit works. He can only share what you are ready for. Based on where we are in our spiritual walk, how much we rely on doctrines, what those doctrines are, and hundreds of other factors, we can hear a message, but who we are and what we believe limit the information we receive and or understand.

I can tell you for a fact, there are a hundred ways to explain what is happening today from a spiritual aspect. How do I know this? I was an instructor in the army where we were required to explain the same detail in a number of ways because different people learned from different examples and explanations. On the spiritual sides all we need to do is look at the Gospels where Jesus taught the same lesson by telling three or four parables. There were two reasons for that. Some people caught onto the first explanation, some the second, and some the third. The serious student of the Bible caught onto the fact that a deeper spiritual interpretation could be seen when all the details from each of the parables was combined. Almost two hundred years ago a man named William Miller wrote a set of Bible Study Rules that were widely accepted throughout the world by most Christian denominations. One of those rules applies here.

To understand doctrine, bring all the Scriptures together on the subject you wish to know;

then let every word have it’s proper influence, and if you can form your theory without a

contradiction, you cannot be in an error (Isaiah 28:7-29; 35:8; Proverbs 19:27; Luke

24:27, 44, 45; James 5:19; 2 Peter 1:19, 20).

Of course the other rules also apply, but this is one we need to concentrate on. What does it take to gather all the facts on a subject?

It was not by accident that President Trump took the time and put in the effort to teach reporters how to study a subject by collecting all the data. If that is important for a news story, how much more important is it to gather all the details on the spiritual subject at hand?

While watching that video with the young man with a burden to deliver a message he did not fully understand, I could see how he brought up some valid points to consider. The government displayed some rather insightful control over the population we have not witnessed in this generation. There are socialists and communists openly running for President. The young man exaggerated a few points like the possibility of people being herded into camps after contacting the virus. We all have to admit those lock down laws to curve the virus have been put into effect and for the most part obeyed by the majority of people. Is that a sign of things to come? According to that video those lock down and stay at home laws were a warning God wants us to pay attention to. The main purpose of that video was to warn the world something much bigger is coming.

Then the man got into some comments based on doctrine. He started talking about the rapture. Basically the rapture belief is based on a single verse from the Bible. I can tell you, that goes against all Bible Study rules and for the most part, common sense. There is no way anyone can take a single sentence out of any book and explain the entire book. There is no way they could possibly explain the different scenes in the book, people, events, or timelines. But someone, actually a number of groups took the same sentence, actually a few sentences out of the Bible and constructed a number of stories and concepts.

There are dozens of views and doctrines on the rapture theory. None of them agree on all the points. All the concepts have different timelines and events. How can that be? God is only following one timeline and series of events.

To understand what events lead up to and occur in the last days, you have to understand the Book of Revelation. It is a rather simple book to understand. I’ve written a series of books on Revelation and the judgment process. I’ve looked at and studied a number of beliefs and doctrines on the judgment process from different religions in the world and a host of Christian denominations. There is one thing they all have in common. There is one mistake they have all made. Not one of them accepts Revelation as a book. A literary book recorded in the proper sequence. The sequence that was given by Jesus to John the apostle.

People like to brand Revelation as a book of mystery. A book that can only be understood with years of education. Education from where? An institution that teaches people to measure, judge, and interpret every verse in the Bible according to their standards we refer to as doctrines.

Let me make this perfectly clear. You cannot interpret the Bible, a spiritual book based on worldly doctrines. Those doctrines basically establish a barricade between the reader and the Holy Spirit. The man in the video testified to that fact. He did hear a spiritual message. He did try to deliver a spiritual message. A warning. But then he made the mistake by taking a message and attempted to interpret that message according to the doctrines he has been taught to believe. Those doctrines tell him to accept events and timelines based on interpretations not found or verified by scripture. Like the President asked those reporters, what is your proof? What are your references? If those basic questions cannot be answered, the question or stated facts are based on nothing more than a personal opinion backed up by nothing but imagination.

Jesus did not take John to Heaven to give him a book, take it back to earth, withdraw the Holy Spirit, then later send a few men to a college to learn how to interpret that book. The sequence in Revelation is simple to understand. Jesus dictated the book to John in a series of visions. One following the other. John recorded those visions in the order they were given. The beginning of the book of Revelation actually teaches us how to study the book and the Bible as a whole. The first chapter in Revelation contains a description of Jesus. That description is broken up into seven parts. Each part is given to each of the seven churches. Take every description of Jesus given to those seven churches, put them together, and you have all the information about Jesus given to the churches, the world. That agrees with William Miller’s Bible Study Rule.

That is one lesson in Revelation. The other is to accept Revelation as a book written by Jesus. A book any eight year old could read and understand. All you need to do is pay attention to the details in the stories. Look at how those stories are introduced. You will see an undeniable pattern throughout Revelation. John sees a vision. John of course does not understand that vision because portions of that vision deal with the future. A future John of course does not understand. After the vision is given, we see an angel standing next to John ready, willing, and able to explain that vision to John. Naturally the angel backs up in history, progressed into John’s time, then proceeded into the future. After the explanation of that vision was finished, another vision followed. Visions were explained to John one at a time. For some people that makes it difficult to follow the timeline Jesus gave this world. But if you take time to study Revelation the way it was written and pay attention to who and how John received information, Revelation can and will explain itself with no outside sources. That is when Revelation becomes its own reference book. The way it was written and meant to be understood. We will look at one example about the end of this world here.

Revelation 14:15-20 NLTse (15) Then another angel came from the Temple and shouted to the one sitting on the cloud, “Swing the sickle, for the time of harvest has come; the crop on earth is ripe.” (16) So the one sitting on the cloud swung his sickle over the earth, and the whole earth was harvested. (17) After that, another angel came from the Temple in heaven, and he also had a sharp sickle. (18) Then another angel, who had power to destroy with fire, came from the altar. He shouted to the angel with the sharp sickle, “Swing your sickle now to gather the clusters of grapes from the vines of the earth, for they are ripe for judgment.” (19) So the angel swung his sickle over the earth and loaded the grapes into the great winepress of God’s wrath. (20) The grapes were trampled in the winepress outside the city, and blood flowed from the winepress in a stream about 180 miles long and as high as a horse’s bridle.

We can see how the end of Revelation chapter 14 describes the end of one step in the judgment process. The swinging of the sickle is repeated four times. Jesus teaches using repetition to point out key points. In this case it is the harvest which is ripe for what? Judgment.

When we review a few of Jesus’ parables we get a better understanding of one phase of that judgment process we gather more information on the subject.

Matthew 13:27-30 NLTse “The farmer’s workers went to him and said, ‘Sir, the field where you planted that good seed is full of weeds! Where did they come from?’ (28) “‘An enemy has done this!’ the farmer exclaimed. “‘Should we pull out the weeds?’ they asked. (29) “‘No,’ he replied, ‘you’ll uproot the wheat if you do. (30) Let both grow together until the harvest. Then I will tell the harvesters to sort out the weeds, tie them into bundles, and burn them, and to put the wheat in the barn.'”

Matthew 13:36-39 NLTse Then, leaving the crowds outside, Jesus went into the house. His disciples said, “Please explain to us the story of the weeds in the field.” (37) Jesus replied, “The Son of Man is the farmer who plants the good seed. (38) The field is the world, and the good seed represents the people of the Kingdom. The weeds are the people who belong to the evil one. (39) The enemy who planted the weeds among the wheat is the devil. The harvest is the end of the world, and the harvesters are the angels.

When we see Jesus telling us the harvest is at the end of the world and the harvest symbolizes the judgment, no one can argue with the point, the judgment is at the end of time in this world. That establishes a timeline many disagree with. But here we gathered information on the subject and allowed the Bible to be its own interpreter. Now that we established one point on a timeline, we can see how that timeline progresses by turning the page in Revelation.

Revelation 15:1 NLTse Then I saw in heaven another marvelous event of great significance. Seven angels were holding the seven last plagues, which would bring God’s wrath to completion.

Immediately following the end of that phase in the judgment process, the last seven plagues begin. Before John sees the seven plagues released on this world, he is shown another vision in Heaven.

Revelation 15:2 NLTse I saw before me what seemed to be a glass sea mixed with fire. And on it stood all the people who had been victorious over the beast and his statue and the number representing his name. They were all holding harps that God had given them.

Were the saints in Heaven at that point in time, or was that a vision using symbols? We have to follow the sequence given in this story to answer that question.

Revelation 16:1-2 NLTse (1) Then I heard a mighty voice from the Temple say to the seven angels, “Go your ways and pour out on the earth the seven bowls containing God’s wrath.” (2) So the first angel left the Temple and poured out his bowl on the earth, and horrible, malignant sores broke out on everyone who had the mark of the beast and who worshiped his statue.

The first plague identifies the people who are lost. Those who have been judged and found guilty. You have to know something about the basic concept of God’s judgment to understand the sequence of events. God’s judgment process is much like court procedures here on earth. Someone is accused of a crime. A court date is set. Evidence is reviewed. A decision is made and the person is either pronounced guilty or innocent. When the verdict is guilty, the punishment or sentence is of course carried out at a later date.

Like Jesus explained in His parable. The angels will know the difference between the saved and condemned. The first plague in Revelation chapter 16 verifies that point. Malachi included a prophecy about that day, event, and sequence.

Malachi 3:17-18 NLTse “They will be my people,” says the LORD of Heaven’s Armies. “On the day when I act in judgment, they will be my own special treasure. I will spare them as a father spares an obedient child. (18) Then you will again see the difference between the righteous and the wicked, between those who serve God and those who do not.”

Not only Heaven, but people on earth will see the difference between the righteous and the wicked. And that is one of the spiritual lessons we have to see and understand about the coronavirus. What happened at the beginning of that virus? As soon as people heard about that virus, many people ran to the stores to hoard, of all things, toilet paper. Toilet paper became a symbol of that virus. Pictures of white toilet flashed all around the world. Toilet paper marked the wicked. People hoarding toilet paper showed their greed. They marked themselves. The world could tell who was looking out for themselves and days later could see those who placed the welfare of others before themselves.

Jesus always teaches in pairs. Jesus always uses repetition to teach. If the first plague will mark the difference between the righteous and the wicked, wouldn’t Jesus send a warning before He moves from judging the dead to judging the living? Of course He would. We have that assurance in the fact, Jesus taught about the end of this world in pairs and sets.

There is one other aspect about those seven churches we have to realize. Not one church received a full view of Jesus or all the details about the other subjects covered in the letters John wrote to those churches. The churches had no choice but to come together with their letters from Heaven and put them together to get the full story.

Of course some people are going to look at those seven plagues and try to explain them. Many denominations already have their personal interpretations on those plagues that of course aligns with their doctrines. Which of course does not fit into the timeline and sequence of events recorded in Revelation. Some people are going to point to one or more of those plagues and use world history to try and prove some of those plagues have already been fulfilled. Now who do we believe? Do we believe Jesus and trust that John recorded Revelation in the proper sequence? Or do we believe college educated theologians who need to convince people those events and timelines in the Bible are wrong? And why do those theologians believe the timeline and events in the Bible were recorded in the wrong order? Because the timeline and sequence of events in Revelation do not agree with their doctrines. Like the priests and Pharisees who killed Jesus, theologians today insist their interpretations had to be written and taught because God, the Author of the Bible omitted important details, and for some reason wanted to hide the timeline and sequence of events from mankind. But as we’ve seen, the timeline and sequence of events has been clearly recorded. It is up to the individual to accept the sequence recorded in Revelation, accept the sequence offered by theologians, or ignore the entire sequence and hope it never actually happens.

1918 Spanish Flu

One of our goals at USA-eVote is to add information about previous pandemics that threatened this world. The 1918 Spanish Flu seems to be the best choice as the first virus to cover. Since that virus infected the world during WWI, it naturally blends into the concept of American History and fits into the category of WWI articles.

After reviewing this entire video it was a perfect fit for USA-eVote.com. This video follows the USA-eVote trend of providing reference material and backs up information with reliable sources. The publisher of this video did a great job of adding references, providing proper credits, and backing up the information with reliable sources.

This video on the 1918 Spanish Flu tells a story about a world epidemic that quickly spread from one country to another. After watching this video you will have a much better idea of what the experts on President Trump’s staff have studied and why drastic measures had to be taken to curve the spread of today’s COVID-19 virus.

USA-eVote hopes you take one concept from this video. The information on this video is unbiased. This video sticks to the facts and backs those facts up with necessary references. This video displays what investigative reporting is all about and shows how important proper study is. This video highlights the mistakes government made in the early stages of the 1918 Spanish Flu, and covers the learning curve government and individual organizations had to live through to finally control the spread of the 1918 Spanish Flu.

How serious was the 1918 Spanish Flu? After viewing this video you can see why I call it the 12 hour flu. That flu was so powerful, people often died within 12 hours of showing the first signs of being infected.

USA-eVote.com has disinfected its site by removing ads.

USA-eVote.com will not be controlled by Internet giants.

When USA-eVote.com looked at the ads on our site and where those ads pointed, it was obvious those ads were designed to direct people to fake news sites, fake sites, sites owned and run by scammers, including sites with spyware and ransomware.

This is unacceptable behavior and needs to be eliminated.

USA-eVote.com may be the first site to take a stand against advertising giants who have the ability to screen ads, but refuse to use technology to protect the average Internet user. We now see an Internet world where profit is the only determining factor. Internet giants refuse to use available technology to scrub dangerous ads to protect people from obvious scams, spyware, and ransomware. The fight against such activity lies in the hands of individual publishers who place ethics about profit.

There comes a time to make a decision. Does one continue to expose readers to Internet threats when that website and its publishers are trying to fight Internet corruption? The obvious choice was to eliminate Internet ads. Which we did. USA-eVote will not expose its readers to Internet threats and will not allow fake news sites to advertise on its site. There comes a time to make a decision. As this coronavirus runs its course around the world, it is time to make a stand against fake news, scammers, and Internet giants making money from this crisis. They do not present any type of organized conspiracy. The only factor that unites them is greed. The time has come to step out of that corrupt arena, stand on your own, and allow God to control your destiny. The excuse, “everyone does it,” does not hold up in God’s courtroom.

COVID-19 Early Prison Release

There seems to be a growing controversy surrounding early prison release in the light of the coronavirus crisis. Investigating this particular issue has been quite interesting. One view presents a number of arguments that appear logical on the surface, but is filled with holes the moment we consider scientific studies on prison release and other related subjects.

Several conservative groups—including FreedomWorks, Americans for Prosperity, and the Justice Action Network—urged President Trump in a letter today to announce an executive order “making clear that elderly, non-violent prisoners who have served 2/3 of their time should be transferred to home confinement as soon as possible.”

“Given the risk of Coronavirus sweeping through prisons like a fire in a dry barn, impacting corrections officers and their surrounding communities, it’s time to take the First Step Act one small step further,” the groups said.

Many of those same groups joined the American Civil Liberties Union, the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, the Sentencing Project, and other criminal justice organizations in a letter advising Trump to commute the sentences of federal inmates who are terminally or chronically ill, or have underlying medical conditions that put them at greater risk of serious complications from COVID-19.

Our first task is to consider the source. This particular website, Reason.com.

Founded in 1968, Reason is the nation’s leading libertarian magazine. We produce hard-hitting independent journalism on civil liberties, politics, technology, culture, policy, and commerce. As the magazine of free minds and free markets, Reason exists outside of the left/right echo chamber. Our goal is to deliver fresh, unbiased information and insights to our readers, viewers, and listeners every day.

Reason.com is basically a socialist funded website claiming to be unbiased. A quick look at the articles on that website shows a rather socialist agenda. When we look at the special interest groups demanding a nationwide prison release, we see some rather radical names. The ACLU has a long history of playing both sides of the fence. One day they will call for Federal control of issues like this national release of prisoners. As soon as the federal government responds, the ACLU will file lawsuits in every state suing the federal government for doing what the ACLU and its offshoot agencies demanded the federal government to do. It is a never ending cycle designed to raise unlimited funds. Those funds of course are provided by taxpayers.

The logical second step is to consider other sources. Sources websites like Reason.com should have researched before posting such a one sided article. Those well funded groups calling for prison release should have investigated the facts before writing and signing a letter to the President. President Trump is a very busy man and should not be distracted by such one sided, ill prepared comments and demands such as this. In short, this in one example showing how special interest groups claiming concern for the interests and well being of Americans is in fact attacking the President and the United States as a whole. The socialist agenda is well planned, well funded, and has more than enough resources to launch attacks from almost unlimited directions. Following a few simple rules to investigate such claims can and will reveal the source, and unmask the real intent. In this case, the source is a socialist group. Of course the ultimate plan is to weaken the United States and open the door for a socialist government. You don’t have be a prophet to show where this plan is leading.

As we’ve already brought to light. Special interest groups are poised and ready to file lawsuits against the federal government the moment any person is harmed by that early prisoner release. But the plans go far deeper. At the very moment special interest groups are suggesting nation wide prison releases, members of Congress are pushing through a bill to tax and control firearms on the federal level.

SEC. 803. INCREASE IN EXCISE TAXES RELATING TO FIREARMS.

(a) In General.—Section 4181 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 is amended to read as follows:

“SEC. 4181. IMPOSITION OF TAX.

“There is hereby imposed upon the sale by the manufacturer, producer, or importer of the following articles a tax equivalent to the specified percent of the price for which so sold:

“(1) Articles taxable at 30 percent:

“(A) Pistols.

“(B) Revolvers.

“(C) Firearms (other than pistols and revolvers).

“(D) Any lower frame or receiver for a firearm, whether for a semiautomatic pistol, rifle, or shotgun that is designed to accommodate interchangeable upper receivers.

“(2) Articles taxable at 50 percent: Shells and cartridges.”.

What do we have when we put the two scenarios together? We have prisoners released into a society unable to defend itself. At the very least, the ability to defend oneself will be severely restricted.

Individual states are allowed to establish their own laws regarding early prison release and firearms. There is no reason for the federal government to take control of either. No President is able to gather all the information on all the criminals across the nation to make an informed decision. The only thing a federal law ordering the release of millions of people in prison will accomplish is to open the door to thousands of lawsuits. The only winners will be lawyers. And of course those special interest groups who signed that letter to the President stand to make billions of dollars. Socialists special interest groups are also pushing for stricter gun control and registration. That is one detail socialist need in place before taking control of the government.

The people calling for early prison release have criticized the President for not relying on available scientific studies on the coronavirus. They never name those studies because they do not exist at this time. Here is an example of the critics ignoring scientific studies that do exist. Follow is one study published in 2007.

The U.S. population of former prison inmates is large and growing. The period immediately after release may be challenging for former inmates and may involve substantial health risks. We studied the risk of death among former inmates soon after their release from Washington State prisons.

Based on the information in that article, the same special interest groups demanding the immediate release of millions of prisoners today was calling for additional federal funds to finance assistance programs for prisoners over the past 13 years. So which side of the fence is the correct side today?

That article on an official government websites contains a host of links to other studies about infectious diseases in prisons, plans to deal with infectious diseases, and links to other studies. That information is unbiased, But has been omitted from other sites claiming to be unbiased.

USA-eVote thrives to be unbiased. We strive to provide links to reliable sources of information. Our goal is to help people investigate important issues. But yes, when it comes to socialism, USA-eVote does take an active stand against socialism, communism, and other threats against the United States and its people. We are not ashamed of that role.
