Focus on educating people about the underlying principles, networking, and staying in the shadows. Work locally/regionally - NOT nationally.<br /><br />Prepare the fields, for now. Sow, and move on. Let the locals take control (with some contact with the leaders that will spring up).<br /><br />Compartmentalize.

Votes in the 6 figure range were grossly misaligned with the number of registered voters -- and that was only one aspect of their concerns.<br /><br />Eerily similar to the suspension of vote counting late on November 3, the Zoom meeting between the canvassers was interrupted. When it resumed the canvassers had all agreed to certify, but with reservations that the votes be audited pursuant to a promise by the Secretary of State who had told them the vote had to be certified before an audit could begin.<br /><br />A day or two later, the SOS declared there was no need to audit because the vote had been certified. <br /><br />The first of two cultural references we see here is the SOS is Lucy, the Wayne county commissioners are Charlie Brown, and the audit is the football. The 2nd cultural reference is the movie Gaslight. The SOS is Charles Boyer telling Ingrid Bergman: "Even you didn't see anything out of order when you were in a more sane frame of mind. See here? You certified the election."<br /><br />And what is worse, Gentle Readers, is that she is attempting to pull the same stunt with the Michigan State Board of Canvassers. "you must certify before I can audit the votes."<br /><br />Infuriating for all Americans, not just Michiganders. Or I certainly hope so.Pascalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00303025432356543062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-59095271397134525782020-11-23T09:02:53.393-05:002020-11-23T09:02:53.393-05:00Copying a snippet for a piece I'm working on. ...Copying a snippet for a piece I'm working on. :)<br /><br />In general: There's a quote from Hayek that I don't seem to have on hand. But it's to the effect that liberals believe - truly believe - they are smarter, more educated, more noble, and certainly far, far better people than we "dirt people" - thus they are ENTITLED to rule.NITZAKHONhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04110716447757507226noreply@blogger.com
