@Vee McMillen The frightening thing is a lot of people here purport to believe it though I'm not sure if they are real people or just deep state shills placed to do their best to disturb what they can't control.
While this is A target, I don't think it's THE target. How about Jewish control of all five major television networks in the US, or the banking industry, or big tech, or big pharma, etc.
Well Norquist was trying to starve the beast but the beast figured out it can feed its self at least for the time being. Need to go back to the gold standard maybe.
@mork Problem with the gold standard is that once we have asteroid mining in place gold won't be worth shit. And limits the rate the economy can grow and there are far more important use for the metal in electronics and the like.
@mork It can, the trick is to have money supply match productivity increases, right now that's not happening because Covid-19 is being used by left wing morons to kill productivity. They want to collapse the economic system so they can turn it into a complete communist system in which we own nothing.
I have already asked this question in other places: can you tell me please how does the voting system work? For example, I take a ballot, put a mark in front of John Doe and give the ballot away. How can I be sure that the ballot is not lost in action? And how can I check that the votes calculation process is correct? They can write any numbers they like after all. Which officials can I contact or what phone can I call? May be there are some websites where I can check it myself? How can I look at the calculation process or smth like that?
in the u.s., the only protection is transparency. in practice, that devolves down to having one person from each party present when votes are counted. there is zero beyond that.
so if the people are honest, and the process is neutral, the vote count is reliable.
in practice, until this election, people simply trusted that the self-interest of each party would produce an honest result. in fact, that trust had no basis whatsoever.
@Więcesław Duczynski @cranston Well yes, cases were referred to the FBI. By transparent, there should be a way to track ballots from beginning to end that keeps hard copy and it should be observed and verified by all parties.
In school they tell you that if you've been robbed then you should go to a police department, if you need to pay taxes then you should go to a tax office, etc. It's a shame but in my age I still don't know where should I go to see what's going on with my ballot after I submit it.
@Więcesław Duczynski @cranston They have a website where you can put your ballot number and see that it was received and counted, but you can't see if they counted it for what you actually voted. I've had this discussion with the county, they say it's for "privacy" but if you need the ballot number which only they and I have it's not violating anyone's privacy it's just a way to avoid accountability.
So it's not me who studied bad in school, they really don't tell how to check the voting process, do they? And they don't tell that because the election system is... not developed yet, right?
@Robert Dinse in seattle? if so, how painful it must be to witness the criminal city council and mayor! (i lived there long ago, when it was relatively normal and honest.)
@cranston I'm about seven miles north of it but that is still way too close. Yea Mayor Durkan is something else, something emitted from a horses ass I think. Our Governor Inslee ain't so great either, second highest gas tax in the nation, highest telecom taxes, but Boeing gets a free ride as does Amazon, honestly out the window. We pass an initiative to limit car tabs and the asshole takes it to court and gets it overturned.
for the future, there are many ways to reform the voting process. all of them require the dems and repubs to let go of their effective monopoly, and allow an honest result. so far, neither has any interest in doing so.
@BR 549 ☎ My cousin's cat lived 26 years so not a huge stretch.
The oldest cat in history was a feline called Creme Puff who was born on 3 August 1967 and lived until 6 August 2005 - an amazing 38 years and 3 days. Creme Puff lived with her owner, Jake Perry, in Austin, Texas, USA. But the crown is now in Bournemouth with Poppy.
Technically, if the conspiracy comes from the ones already in power, it is not consiracy, but propaganda. (it is only definition, nothing changes at the heart)
@mishaL it is only words and definitions. One go from the top, and the other go toward the top (and generally from the middle-high, not from the bottom which are only tools in both cases). So yes, it can be seen as "total opposite", but not really from a "bottom-people" point of view.
A government saying it gives billions to health system, but in fact dimnish the funding at other places and give more money to private health. And then ask police services to pressure journalists who write about that. Is it conspiracy ? Propaganda ? Both ?
I don't really care what it is, I'll take the dictionnary used by the one I try to convince.
@𝝞shmel Green Come to Seattle and/or Portland and/or San Francisco and see the results of "sharing". And let's be clear what you are calling sharing is actually Robinhood style steal from the rich and give to the poor. I "share", I give money to churches that provide help for the homeless but they do it in the form of meals and drug rehabilitation and temporary shelter, not just giving them money to go buy more heroin.
@Stefani Banerian Well ya. Unfortunately there is still some software that won't work with Linux. My workstation is triple boot Ubuntu 20.10 / Ubuntu 21.04 Development / Win 10 because sdrUNO won't run on Linux even under Wine and it's the only SDR software that fully takes advantage of my rspDX SDR.
@poet1b I am reasonably sure most politicians -- Republicrats or Democans, doesn't matter -- are crooks. The only reason Trump has been as successful as he have against politicians is that he isn't one. As for being a crook, he may be a "typical New York businessman" but he clearly didn't pick his current job to enrich himself.
@BR 549 ☎ Biden got a billion from the Chinese, you think they don't have an interest in getting him elected and wouldn't have provided said ballots gratis?
@BR 549 ☎ Personally I think it's important to get all the details out, then people can start making connections. It's complex, people need to be prepared to deal with that complexity.
@BR 549 ☎ Anticipating this massive fraud, Trump and the Homeland security department provided the paper for real ballots, the paper was marked with a blockchain encryption dot pattern that makes it possible to discern real ballots from fake. That doesn't rule out the possibility of real ballots being used by dead people, illegal immigrants, etc, but does prove that a lot of false ballots entered the system.
Look, any sensible person could look at a Biden rally and see a dozen people showed up, a Trump rally and see 20,000 and know there is no way in hell Biden legitimately won the election, especially campaigning from his basement.
So they want to completely destroy our Republic so we can mollify the Dems and they won't riot? How ridiculous can they be? I thought the Supreme Court was supposed to uphold the Constitution and our laws. So now they are willing to completely throw out our rights to vote? What kind of a country do we have then? What freedoms?
