Be Not Dismayed

I had a relatively brief hour of pain on Friday when the top of the hour news announced that the Supreme Court had dismissed the Texas lawsuit as not having standing. But despair just didn’t kick in. If disappointment comes later, it comes. But not yet.

Yesterday was the Electoral College vote, which went as expected. However, the Republican electors from each of the contested states also cast their votes. On January 6, when the votes are counted in Congress, those are there as an alternative—in case things have changed in the meantime.

This is not a first. One example is the 1960 election, when Democrat electors in Hawaii added their alternate votes for John F. Kennedy, just in case.   And they ended up being counted, after contested votes and recounts. People to this day believe that was a stolen election. It may have been. Anyway, the alternate votes are not unprecedented. And they provide a remedy if court cases prove fruitful.

Sidney Powell did an interview with The Epoch Times, on their American Thought Leaders program. When asked about the dismissal of the Texas case, she said,

It has no effect on our cases, because our plaintiffs are electors, who have constitutional standing in the Electors and Elections clause of the Constitution. So we will not have standing issues in the four cases that I brought. The Court really must address the merits.

Another case is also Lin Wood’s case out of Georgia, which is still before the Court. And another case out of Pennsylvania is also before the Court. There might be a standing issue in one of those, but between the multiple cases that are there right now, someone has to have standing. So one or more of those cases is going to have to be addressed on their merits, or we don’t have a Supreme Court.

Jan Jekielek, the host, asked her to explain standing—because every case that has been dismissed so far has been based on standing, or some other technicality, and not on the merits of the case. Courts have so far refused to view the evidence. She explained:

To bring a case you have to be a party that suffered an actual injury as a result of the conduct that is being complained of. So, for example, the Court was saying that Texas as a state doesn’t have a particular interest, particularly in how other states run their elections.

Attorney Robert Barnes has spoken out against the “standing” argument. It isn’t in the Constitution. It is simply a practice of the judicial system since around 1922. It prevents the courts from being tied up in frivolous suits by weeding out a lot of complaints. But it is being used as an excuse to avoid cases that are unpleasant or politically divisive.

As a Texan, I do feel injured by voter fraud in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, Nevada, and anywhere else that brought about an unlawful result. Everyone in my state—and the whole country—is injured by that fraud.

I think it was in the Sidney Powell interview where she said it’s like someone broke into your house, and the police, instead of investigating, say, “You bring us the evidence of who did it, and maybe then we’ll do something about it.” That’s not how the justice system is supposed to work. The victim should not be required to do all the investigations; they should just have to show evidence that a crime was committed. The machines should have been impounded and forensically examined immediately after the election, as soon as fraud was suspected.

Nevertheless, do we have evidence that a crime was committed? Absolutely. Powell said,

[In Georgia’s recount] They often ran the same ballot through the same fraudulent counting machines, which did absolutely no good whatsoever. They did not look at each ballot and compare the signatures. If we could even get 100,000 ballots—of the last 100,000 ballots run in Georgia, for example—we could show by instant mechanical analysis the difference in the ballots and the ink.

We know that there were hundreds of thousands of fraudulent ballots imported into the country, likely from China. We have video of some coming across the border from Mexico. There’s other information of ballots being shipped from one state to another. In fact, there was a postal service drive, I think who was sent from New York to Pennsylvania in the middle of the night with a truckload of ballots that was then used to “backfill” the vote count. It’s absolutely absurd. We have more evidence coming in today of a massive load of ballots, I think from Arizona to Georgia.

So they had these warehouses of counterfeit ballots in different parts of the country, apparently, and then shipped them in the middle of the night as needed to backfill in the states where President Trump’s voters poured out in such great number that they broke the algorithm they had pre-programmed in the computers for Dominion to create the fraud. That’s why they had to stop counting in five states.

And that’s why it’s absolutely absurd to say that there wasn’t voter fraud here. We have counterfeit ballots. We have dead people voting—and by the thousands, if not hundreds of thousands. There was something someone called “phantom voters.” There were just more manner and means of fraud than any law-abiding American citizen could possibly imagine. It’s stunning. It’s absolutely stunning. They were so in our face with it. And then to deny it is purely Machiavellian.

More manner and means of fraud than we can imagine. Apparently the other side does not lack imagination; they’ve thrown everything at this election.

Joshua Philipp came out with a documentary yesterday that I highly recommend. They have it on YouTube. But, even though it is a documentary, which is supposed to be allowed by YouTube, it is likely to get censored there. So it is also available at The Epoch Times website, and on a new platform they have created so they can make sure it isn’t censored, now open for others to use as well, called YouMaker.com. I'm unable to embed it, so please use a link.

The documentary takes an hour and a half to lay out the known evidence of election fraud, and traces ties to China, Soros, and others. If we can’t get evidence before a court, then we ought to be sharing it among the American people and the world.

What happens when we know the fraud happened, but the news media and their followers go along as if there was no such thing? What happens now? Is there a path forward?

Joshua Philipp, on his Sunday night Q&A, said, 

These different lawsuits are going to delay the outcome of the election. And, as long as there are lawsuits in play, the election is still contested.

The only constitutional deadline is the actual inauguration, January 20th. And challenges in past elections have gone on beyond that. Time is still short, but there are things that can happen. Electoral votes can be challenged during the usually ceremonial reading on January 6^th, before the new Congress. A protest was attempted just four years ago, but without effect, because it requires both a House and Senate member to protest in writing. So go ahead and urge your Congressman and Senator to prepare to protest. If a protest is successful, I’m uncertain whether the alternative Electoral votes would be used instead, or if those votes would be removed from the count.

If they are removed from the count and neither candidate gets 270 votes, then the constitutional alternative is that each state gets one vote, based on its majority delegation’s vote, which gives Trump a likely win in that scenario.

Another wild card is that 2018 Executive Order President Trump signed, concerning foreign interference in our election. This requires a report from intelligence organizations by 45 days after the election, which will be Friday, December 18^th. Sidney Powell was asked about this:

If that report is an honest report, it’s going to blow the mind of every citizen in the country who’s willing to look at the truth and the facts, because we’ve never witnessed anything like this in the history of this country. And it’s got to be stopped right now, or there will never be a free and fair election.

Joshua Philipp, Sunday night, talked about the 2018 Executive Order as well. Would Trump declare marshal law based on it?

Frankly, given the evidence, maybe if he’s presented— Again, within 45 days of November 3^rd, the director of National Intelligence, because of that 2018 Executive Order Trump signed, they’re going to be giving Trump a report based on, that’s going to outline whether there was any instance of foreign influence in this election. Not just directly, but even indirectly through people who were carrying out actions.

At the very least, we can say Dominion has people who are indirectly tied to foreign governments. Based on their structure. Based on their ties to China. Based on its $400 million purchase. Based on several other factors. And Smartmatic, again, ties to Venezuela. That alone would be enough, very likely, for him to enact some of the powers within that.

Someone commented in that Q&A that they thought President Trump would use whatever power was available to him to make sure the results of this election are honest. “It’s now or never. Trump knows the USA is in his hands.” Philipp had said earlier that he thought Trump found the corruption much greater than he had imagined he would face. And here he said:

This is true. Now, imagine you’re in Trump’s shoes, right? I can tell you—again, I work for, Crossroads is a show of The Epoch Times. We’ve been hit by multiple fake news reports. You can see these stories from the outside. You can know that—“Oh, they did this hit piece on this guy, and it was unfair; it was dishonest.” Until it happens to you, and you know your own story, and you know your own background, and you know the facts. And then you see how media twist all that around, and how they lie about it. And how they even fabricate information.

Until you see how they lie to people, until you see it happen to you, it doesn’t have as much power. When you have that clarity, and you see how they are willing to lie for their own political or business interests—

Trump has seen this now. He’s seen it with just about every institution in this country, public or private. He’s seen it in government. He’s seen it in the courts. He has seen it with these different nonprofit organizations. He’s seen it with business. He’s seen it with tech. He’s seen it with the media.

Would he hand this country over to those people? Because those are the people—these same ones doing these things—those are the same people who’ve been telling those lies. These same people who’ve been doing that are the ones who are doing this right now. Would Trump, having that wide view, would he hand over the United States of America to these people, based on what they did?

Look at his character over the past year, and you can tell me your assessment on that. Seeing Trump, and knowing how he works, I cannot see him doing that. I cannot see him handing over this country to those people, when he sees these things from that perspective.

What exactly President Trump will do, I am not certain. Possibly military tribunals? Is that what marshal law entails? I’m not sure. But, whatever he does will require the support of the American people.

We saw the support in droves on Saturday, as people gathered in Washington to “Stop the Steal.” Numbers were hard to determine, because there were four such groups around the capital, and elsewhere around the country.

Numbers tell us that at least 70% of Trump voters believe the election was stolen by fraud. I don’t know how many Biden voters now believe that, because news about it has been censored. 

Earlier today I caught the end of a Stop the Steal press conference with electors. A man named Ed Martin talked about the Chinese interference:

If there was ever a presidency, now we know where the Chinese regime would want to get rid of one president and get another one in, it’s Donald Trump standing up to them and Joe Biden compromised by the Chinese regime. That’s the facts. Unrefuted. Not Ed Martin’s evidence. Unrefuted facts. It’s what we call proof. And we haven’t seen any response. And now were supposed to just look the other way and it’ll all work out? We’ll have ways to check on it? No we can’t do that. So, the Communist regime, they know this. And we won’t stop. Because we win; they lose. That’s what we know.

He was quoting Reagan there: “We win; they lose.” If we don’t think that way, the only alternative is to succumb to evil.

Sidney Powell gave this parting thought:

This is not about President Trump. He’s just a symbol of “We the People.” It’s about the future of the Republic. We have to fix this. We have to fix it right now.

In the final segment of the Crossroads documentary, Joshua Philipp refers to the principles in our founding and says,

These truths have spread worldwide, inspiring patriots and becoming universal values. The year 2020: the 233rd year since the creation of the Constitution of the United States, establishing fundamental laws and guaranteeing basic rights of citizens, including the rights to life, liberty, and private property.

Yet, if the 2020 presidential election is stolen by communist forces within and outside of America, then the separation of power among the three branches of government in a fair legal system would cease to exist. The freedom to elect would cease to exist. The freedom and equality of the American people would cease to exist. It would be an attempted coup to subvert the foundations upon which the United States of America was built. Communism would slam into the United States like a tsunami. America, the beacon of democracy, would be extinguished, and the world would enter a dark age.

This is bigger than one president. It’s bigger than one nation. It’s also personal for each of us. We must not succumb to evil, no matter how loudly that voice insists, “Resistance is futile.” We must keep fighting evil, however God directs us to do that.
