Gary North

It was in the Fall of 2010 and my libertarian phase was just beginning.

I don't remember how I got wind of Gary North's work, but I remember reading his articles, probably on Lew Rockwell's site first, then on garynorth.com.

What I found on his site, and in his writing, was an abundance of economics, history, and politics.  He'd been on Ron Paul's staff in the 1970's as the chief economist.  As an early stage libertarian, that was the credential of all credentials.  

North wrote 4 articles a day (!), and they were all interesting to me.  Each one, particularly the ones on American History and Austrian Economics, was a deep dive into the topic.  There was no fluff.  His writing style was great: short, terse sentences that wasted no words.  Declarative sentences that spoke of things other sites would call 'conspiracy theory'.  Economic ideas that other sites wouldn't touch, as they were free market based and ruined the economics of the Regime / University.

North's site was the site where there were many firsts for me.  He was the first person I read who spoke of revisionist history / conspiracy in plain terms.  Remember how the Gulf of Tonkin was relegated to conspiracy kook world until around 10 years ago?  North had been talking about it for decades.  Many things that are now grudgingly accepted in the main, like FDR pushing for, and causing WWII by his treatment of Japan, were written about by North since the late 1960's.  Who was this old guy writing this stuff on this Web 1.0 site, in this volume, with this huge subscriber base?

Then I became a subscriber.  North's site was the first site I paid to read.  I had never even considered such a thing before.  His site set the tone.  Now, with substack going full blast, paywalls the norm, and subscriptions services galore, North looks even more prophetic.  Back then I would wake up before everyone else in the apartment, fire up my HP desktop PC, and go to GaryNorth.com.

There was something else that caused a major internal change.  North was a devout and unabashed God Fearing Christian.  Over the years, most of the smart, based, thoughtful, fearless, and honest people I read are all religious.  The last few years I have noticed this pattern emerge.  North was the first.  The early stage of my spiritual journey began concurrently by Dr. North casually mentioning that the most important thing was ones service to God.

As a NYC liberal, this was a paradigm shift to say the least.

The first big changes in my head and heart are owed to this man.  

Gary North died on February 24th, 2022.  Being who he was, independent to the end, when he got cancer he followed the Gerson Therapy rather than run into the arms of Big Medical and their corrupt embrace.  He documented this holistic journey for years.

There is a fantastic written eulogy here.

For me, this is the key section:

Here is a sample lecture.  Do as you say you will do.  Do it on time. Do it at or under budget.

Go thou and do likewise.

You SHOULD be HESITANT

One of the current nonsense terms being thrown around by the Laptop Class is 'vaccine hesitant'. It's used as a pejorative. In this presentation, I explain that it's smart to be 'hesitant'. If you look at the record of the so-called authorities of public health, particularly when it comes to their past history and poor results, one can only be sure of one thing: they are wrong. 

Some of the material on smallpox and its vax history came from here:

BUG19 Warm Up - Eugenics: Controlling the RACE

The Eugenics Era was one of the warm ups for what we see today.  Using SCIENCE!, or scientism, to magically rewrite the rulebook of Western Civilization, biologically move people around, and obliterate individual sovereignty was tried over 100 years ago.  For a long time, it worked.  In short, the "feebleminded" were to be sterilized, so that the Elite could manage a better race of humanity.  Now, the 'unvaxxed' can be identified as overly individualistic troublemakers and herded into camps.  Sound extreme?  Maybe you should wake the f up:


"But it's only for travelers!" ... this is already the story bleated out by the 'fact checkers' and the Normies.  Yes, that's how it always starts.  You have to be an ahistorical clod not to see the pattern on this one.

Eugenics was also originally for the 'greater good' and would only affect a very few.  It was also approved by the Supreme Court in a case called Buck v. Bell.

This is the material I walked the 12th graders through:

----------------------------


This is a quote from Woodrow Wilson, progressive hero, and 2 term President of the USA. Read and discuss:

"Let us go back and distinguish between the two things that we want to do; for we want to do two things in modern society. We want one class of persons to have a liberal education, and we want another class of persons, a very much larger class, of necessity, in every society, to forego the privileges of a liberal education and fit themselves to perform specific difficult manual tasks. You cannot train them for both in the time that you have at your disposal. They must make a selection, and you must make a selection. I do not mean to say that in the manual training there must not be an element of liberal training; neither am I hostile to the idea that in the liberal education there should be an element of the manual training. But what I am intent upon is that we should not confuse ourselves with regard to what we are trying to make of the pupils under our instruction. We are either trying to make liberally-educated persons out of them, or we are trying to make skillful servants of society along mechanical lines, or else we do not know what we are trying to do."

Woodrow Wilson - President of Princeton University,
  • An Address to the New York City High School Teachers Association
  • January 9, 1909
  • Published in High School Teachers Association of New York, Volume 3, 1908-1909, pp.19-31 and Papers of Woodrow Wilson, 18:593-606

------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is the concept of eugenics?

Eugenics is the practice or advocacy of improving the human species by selectively mating people with specific desirable hereditary traits. It aims to reduce human suffering by “breeding out” disease, disabilities and so-called undesirable characteristics from the human population.

Today we will learn about one of the most monstrous, and avoided, topics in American History. It was a Progressive dream to manage the population so that it would be improved. Eugenics has been intentionally forgotten about because it was part of the "Scientific Management" of the population. As one would manage farm animals, the people at the Top of the Pyramid made efforts to 'improve' the citizenry of the USA. It was typified by the Buck v Bell Supreme Court Case:

"We have seen more than once that the public welfare may call upon the best citizens for their lives. It would be strange if it could not call upon those who already sap the strength of the State for these lesser sacrifices, often not felt to be such by those concerned, to prevent our being swamped with incompetence. It is better for all the world, if instead of waiting to execute degenerate offspring for crime, or to let them starve for their imbecility, society can prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing their kind. The principle that sustains compulsory vaccination is broad enough to cover cutting the Fallopian tubes".[18][A]

Holmes concluded his argument by citing Jacobson v. Massachusetts as a precedent for the decision, stating "Three generations of imbeciles are enough".[18][19] The sole dissenter in the court, Justice Pierce Butler, a devout Catholic,[20] did not write a dissenting opinion.

Assignment - Due 11/29. Please watch the following documentary. We will begin in class. Summarize and comment on why you think this has been ignored by historians, what the morals surrounding Eugenics are all about, and how it parallels events in Animal Farm and in today's society.


These are today's "unvaxxxxed" Don't say I didn't warn you.

500 Years Ago the Aztec Empire FELL to Cortes and SPAIN

500 years ago yesterday, August 13th, 1521, everything changed.

The reigning superpower in Central America, the Aztec Empire, fell to Cortes.  It took him around 2 years to do it, and it took his military and political genius, as well as the unheralded engineering genius of Martin Lopez to take town Tenochtitlan, the capital city.  Tenochtitlan is known today as Mexico City.

My introduction to the topic was Victor Davis Hanson's Carnage and Culture.


It begins like this, and I highly recommend the book:

For a look at the event from the other side, another book I read and recommend highly is The Broken Spears.  The Aztec accounts were not forthcoming until a decade or so later.  This book is a collection of various sources, from the Indigenous side, and is therefore invaluable as an historical perspective:


Because Tenochtitlan (Mexico City) was an island city in the middle of Lake Texcoco, Cortez, with the help of Martin Lopez, wound up winning by using naval power.  It is an incredible story:



Next on my list are the two books by C. Gardner, noted above by VDH in his chapter on the topic.  Martin Lopez carried out what would be considered impossible by many.  

This is the book on the engineering and project management masterpiece that changed the world in which we live:


More difficult to find, but it's out there, is the book on Martin Lopez himself, by the same author.  I found both on Abe Books:


As the Prometheans work hard to take down all aspects of the West, including basic freedoms and civil rights, it's important to see why.  When you have a short, poorly schooled but well read man like Hernan Cortes, and an unsung, nearly historically invisible man like Martin Lopez able to change the course of human history, you can see why "They" don't want a country like these United States, or any country buttressed by Western Culture to exist.

500 years ago the world saw something incredible: a strong and determined Aztec Empire fall.  Analyzing the event's politics, culture, engineering and personalities is an amazing educational exercise.  It is more necessary now more than ever to study the event, as the Forces who have been battling the Good, the Beautiful and the True are working overtime even as I type this to ruin Western Culture.

Non-Fiction Interlude: "3 generations of imbeciles are enough."

So wrote Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. in Buck v. Bell, a 1927 Supreme court case upholding a Virginia law that authorized the state to surgically sterilize certain “mental defectives” without their consent. Oliver Wendell Holmes is held up as the pinnacle of American justice, as a heroic figure, a progressive, liberal hero.  And yes, he was a supporter of Eugenics: derived from the Greek word eu ("good" or "well") and the suffix -genēs ("born").  He and his kind are alive and well today. 

For them, believing in God is bad.  Having faith is anachronistic.  But playing God is well and good.  These people are monsters.

They're at it again.

Look at the divisions based on "SCIENCE!!" that they're working overtime on:
  • Mask vs. No Mask.
  • Stabbie vs. No Fauci Juice.
  • Take your temperature going into a small business (but not Target or Wal-Mart).
  • Contact tracing on your phone.
  • Quarantining healthy people, but not looters or rioters.
  • Focused bans on the numbers of people in religious gatherings, but not Big Box Corporate Stores.
  • Schools - OPEN.  Sit at a bar in NYC as of this date: NO.
Here's the most incredible part.  It's based on ... nothing.  Pure hoaxery:

That young woman from Johns Hopkins figured it out in late 2020.  She got memory holed.

They are all Science! based, put in place by the philosophical and intellectual progeny of Charles Darwin and his monstrous half cousin James Galton.

John Taylor Gatto summed it up best here: 

"In fact, let me tell you that Charles Darwin probably in my calculations, is the premiere mass murder in human history -- not from his Theory of Evolution, but from his book The Descent of Man, published in this country in 1871, in which he informed the wealthy and powerful of this country that if the good breeding stock, the Scandinavian and English blondes, crossbred with Irish or Italians or Spanish, evolution would march backward into the swirling mist of the dawnless past. In other words, it was a responsibility of the leadership class to find a way to prevent...to restore class systems in our democratic society and to keep the good breeding stock from the bad breeding stocks -- I'm not making that up -- the book I just referred you to is every single library in the United States even though it's 140 years old. What explains its prevalence since I would be certain that not more than one of your listeners out of a thousand has ever read it, perhaps has ever heard of the book -- it led to an explosive growth in elite private boarding schools and elite private day schools in the United States -- the kind of schools that Bill Clinton and his wife sent their daughter to -- there was a Sidwell Friends School in Washington, D.C.; the kind that George Bush and his father attended; the kind that Franklin Roosevelt attended; the kind that John F. Kennedy attended. How come this interesting fact, that the American political leadership of the left, mind you, sees to it that their own children are schooled a different way. What an immense irony, is it not?"

Notice the same attitude out there now, at least in the 'enlightened' streets of NYC.  If you're maskless outside, or you aren't fighting to get in line for the stabbie, you're part of a group that will send the human race "into the swirling mist of the dawnless past."

It's the same thing.  They never stop.

I like to know the playbook of the Overlords.  This gives you a good introduction:


James Corbett and Thaddeus Russell had a good, and timely,  conversation on the topic:


This is the book you are looking for:

Knowledge is power.  It's all we've got against this Dark Section of the Ruling Class.

The SPARK that Lights the Fire

One of the best military historians alive, William Lind, sees what's happening.  As an older guy with a wealth of historical knowledge, and no fealty whatsoever to the woke / progressive / liberal / Democrat beast, he writes in a refreshingly direct way. If you want unchained, politically incorrect analysis, you can find it here.

Lind cuts down to the bone in a few places.  I think he's right.

Here's the first hit:

"Great historic currents are often set in motion by small events. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand did not cause World War I–the cause was enmity between Austria and Russia that went back to the Crimean War, coupled with military plans that put a premium on mobilizing faster than your opponent–but provided the spark in the powder magazine."

Then he goes a little bit further:

"Such a spark is in the offing. Bowing to the demands of cultural Marxism and its “woke” fanatics, the Biden Administration is moving to re-name all military bases whose present names are those of Confederate generals. This is part of the Left’s hate campaign against the South, its history, and its culture, and more broadly its demand that whites continually abase themselves before blacks (not including the blacks who fought for the Confederacy, a non-trivial number)."

I told you so.  That's about as far away from mainstream or corporate academia opinion as you can get.  As a matter of fact, Lind writes the opposite of what we're told in the Main.  It's one of the patterns you have to recognize.  Usually the opposite of what the Cathedral is saying is what's actually true.  Following that pattern has worked for me.  Whoever is being 'oppressed' at the time, you can be sure that that Narrative is, at minimum, wrong, if not the opposite of what is going on in the real world.

You've seen how the 'asians are oppressed' Narrative was created out of whole cloth in the past month.  It literally came out of nowhere.  There's no evidence to support it.  There is no wave of any kind.  I've always wondered who at the top thinks up the next Narrative.  We know why they do it.  They just need more distractions and oppression narratives for the Herd, especially as the Stupid 19 story loses strength.  Social media is now filled with the Stop Asian Hate fodder for the farm animals.

Lastly, Lind explains his reasoning:

"But fighting men tend to have strong identification with things like regiments, service branches, and the historic names of their bases. The units based at places such as Ft. Bragg, Ft. Hood, and Ft. Benning identify with those names. In many cases, other family members often serve at those same bases for generations (as always, the Army’s most important recruiting ground is the rural South). All over the country retired fighting men share strong identification with the current base names. I do not find it difficult to imagine that when the new, politically correct base names are announced, the troops on those bases mutiny. If they do, they are likely to get strong support from veterans and from the communities that surround the bases.

What does the Washington Establishment do then? If it sends other military units against those resisting, they are likely to refuse the orders. So will the National Guard. So will the police. What now, Madam Under-secretary
?

I'm not sure Lind is right about that last part.  We just watched police and military do exactly as they were told when it came to enforcing anti-constitutional CV19 lockdown demands.  Hey, they're just doing their jobs right?  They've got a pension to protect, right?  He naively expects the military or the cops to disobey, in the name of 'freedom'.  Some will, but those numbers will be small.

Where he's right is the idea that an economic collapse is practically guaranteed to create a spark.  As the dollar loses value, it's possible that we will see the National Divorce proceed with increased speed. He ends with the economic point, and on that he's correct.  The only question is when.

What will your situation be like when the music stops?

Angelo Codevilla writes about the same topic, from a different angle, here.  Both of these articles were at Vox's site, to which I owe a great deal.

Rand Paul Sees it: Shows Why There Will be a National Divorce

I just made a video where I spoke about the interview with Rand Paul and G. Stephanopoulos. It is about the topic below.  I'll post it soon.  Here's the backstory:

Rand Paul speaks before the Senate about the ridiculous double standard and absurd hypocrisy about DJT's so called 'incitement to violence'.  He speaks the words, verbatim, that Trump said that were the ones that theoretically sparked the fraternity prank that happened in DC on Jan. 6th.

Sen. Paul exposes and lays bare the fact that this is no longer a serious country.  The federal Gov't is leading the "not serious" part of this national decline. The 'impeachment' of a private citizen and fake serious fear put forth by much of the Democratic party is much more common in Banana Republics and third world countries.  It's purely partisan team play, and it looks obvious to me that they want to make sure that not only DJT, but any other private citizen gets the message that no outsider should ever try to infiltrate their Elite Club.

I think that this speech, and the events leading up to and following it will be spoken about when the robot historians of the future ask 'how did this happen?'


Here is Rand Paul showing the world that this Corporate Media Shill is not only cloddishly trying to manage the Narrative, but also thinks you're stupid:


Here is Dave Smith and Robbie the Fire dismantling and exposing the rhetorical tricks that GS uses to try to trip up Rand Paul.  Paul sidesteps the obvious traps, and Smith and Bernstein give you chapter and verse as to what is happening.  Starts at 18:03:

Inauguration Day - Something is Up

There are many things strange going on.  All of them point to DJT having a second term. I'm going to type from memory here so I might forget a few things.  Most of what I'm writing is from Vox's blog or Zerohedge.  Some of it is from other sources.

  • Cuomo isn't going to the inaugural because it's 'dangerous'.
  • 25,000 National Guardsmen stationed in a cordoned off Washington DC.
  • Two interesting and recent EO's that don't sound like someone who is leaving office.
  • Pelosi is thrashing around, sounding scared.
  • A ludicrous 9-days-to-go impeachment sham.
  • Cancelled inaugural celebration rehearsals.
  • Cancelled inaugural festivities / parade.
  • Governments collapsing in Europe: ie Estonia and Italy.
  • 9 Catholic archbishops all die in a single week.

And then there's this video clip.  It sure doesn't sound like 'a peaceful transition to the Biden administration' to me:

The Sixth

This mild rant is in reaction to many of my students asking me about my opinion about The Sixth. The teenagers recognize adults who just repeat what they hear on CNN, FOX, and NPR. When they want unique perspectives, they know where to go. The adult / teen divide is very large. This is good.

A Preview of Odysseus' Journey

Exploring major literary Themes.

The Trojan War has ended. Now it's time for the trip home. (Here is an interactive map of the Journey).

Because he figured out how to defeat the Trojans, Odysseus is seen as a Hero. In literature, he is an example of a hero from classical times, talked about throughout the ages.

This is one of the major things to discuss throughout the story - the concept of a hero.

Please watch the preview of 'The Odyssey', so you'll have an idea of what is to come. Then, answer this one question (10 points):
  • What is a 'hero'? How would you describe or define a hero in your own words?

The Trojan War - A Short Look

Thematic analysis of the Homeric Epic.

The first part of this Epic is the 10 year long Trojan War. Odysseus was the hero of the Trojan War. He had the brilliant idea to trick the Trojans with the gigantic horse - a "gift" that was really a way to get into the city. The whole story is called "The Iliiad".

The Trojan Horse trick ended the war. Odysseus was celebrated for using his intellect to end the war. They'd tried to get into the city for 10 years and failed. After their victory, Odysseus spends years trying to get home. That journey is "The Odyssey".

Please watch the following video, and answer these 2 short questions (20 points):
  1. How did the war begin - what was it based on?
  2. How did it end? Describe the trick that enabled the Greeks to get into the city.

The Gates of Troy

Introduction to 'The Odyssey'

How are ancient Epic Poems relevant today?

'The Odyssey' is an Epic Poem that is thousands of years old. It explores philosophical questions about ourselves. It is a bunch of adventures within a man's journey home.

After fighting for 10 years in the Trojan War, Odysseus and his crew have to get home. It takes them 10 years. This journey is that story.

Question for the day (10 points):
  • Why do you think a 5000 year old story of a journey home is still read today? What must it be about to still be relevant today?
Please watch the following short introductory video:

Introduction to Greek Mythology

Thematic trends and the Human Condition in the Greek Myths.

Now that we've looked at the Mystery Schools and the Osirian Cycle, we will explore Greek Mythology and soon read "The Odyssey".

We will be using this video as it has a lot of information and great imagery. It covers all the basic origin stories and areas of Greek Myths. TODAY we will look at only the first 5:42.

I would like you to pay particular attention to certain parts and concepts. Even though we are talking about Greek Gods, they have human emotions / flaws like jealousy, envy, lust, and greed.

In preparation for The Odyssey, watch the first 5 minutes and 42 seconds and then answer the following:
  1. Why do you think, if these are Gods, they have very human form and human emotions like greed and jealousy? Shouldn't they be above that?
  2. Why is the idea of sacrifice so common when it comes to the Gods? 
  3. At 2:43, the narrator talks about Poseidon. Who is he and what is he in charge of?
  4. At 3:38 he talks about The Underworld. What do you have to get past? Why do you think it's so difficult to get in?

Christmas Break 2020 Project - "Magical Egypt" Documentary

This is probably the best, most original documentary on ancient Egypt. It talks about Ancient Egypt's connection to the Mystery Schools, which we've looked at, to its connection to the human and spiritual world. It also connects to the Secret Societies.

Please watch this, the first episode, and write a short reaction piece. What did you find interesting or different from the regular analyses of Egypt? What are some of the things you learned? Create around a page of reaction, thinking about the visuals, the depth of information, and the connection to some of the ideas about humanity we've explored so far in this class. (100 points)

From the Website:

"There is another side of Egypt that is not so widely known. Egypt is also the land of secrets. Another history, a secret history, tells of Egypt as the inheritor of deep wisdom and magical ability from an even earlier culture. It is the account of the Egyptians themselves. This alternate history is echoed by parallel accounts from the myth and history of other ancient cultures, as well as myriad secret societies and occult sources. The remarkable number of parallels in these stories provides a unique window into this other Egypt.

A new kind of counterculture is emerging around the unexpected discoveries of a small but growing circle of scientists, authors and researchers. The focal point of this counterculture centers on an alternative interpretation of ancient Egypt - not as mankind's earliest attempts at primitive civilization, but as a fully developed, and inexplicably advanced culture, who's scientific and metaphysical achievements we are only beginning to fully appreciate. Featuring and based on the work of John Anthony West.

Introduction to Egyptian Mythology – the Osirian Cycle



I introduce Mythology a little differently than others. Here's the approach to Egyptian Mythology:

What are the Egyptian myths and how have they transcended time?

Please answer (30 points): “The Osirian Cycle” represents a life cycle. Please answer:
  1. Explain the term ‘life cycle’ and if possible, how would you symbolize, or draw it?
  2. How does a life cycle look and what does it mean? What shape does it take?
  3. How are the myths of the world and of ancient times still relevant today? Where do we see their remnants – either in words or in symbols?

Words and concepts to consider as symbols – Please annotate the text and link the words to the text. (Page 1 of the Osirian Cycle):

· Darkness

· Sun

· Mother figures

· The scribe – recorder

· The Serpent

· Water / rivers / agriculture

· 72

· The hunger for power
---------------------------------------------------------------
Videos for further analysis:
Over the weekend: Begin reading “The Osirian Cycle” (see attached) and note the characters and the events. The story will draw parallels to the stories, myths and religions of today.

An Historic Speech: December 2nd, 2020

Thank you. This may be the most important speech I’ve ever made. I want to provide an update on our ongoing efforts to expose the tremendous voter fraud and irregularities which took place during the ridiculously long November 3rd elections. We used to have what was called, election day. Now we have election days, weeks, and months, and lots of bad things happened during this ridiculous period of time, especially when you have to prove almost nothing to exercise our greatest privilege, the right to vote. As President, I have no higher duty to defend the laws and the Constitution of the United States. That is why I am determined to protect our election system, which is now under coordinated assault and siege.

For months, leading up to the Presidential election, we were warned that we should not declare a premature victory. We were told repeatedly that it would take weeks if not, months, to determine the winner, to count the absentee ballots and to verify the results. My opponent was told to stay away from the election, don’t campaign. “We don’t need you. We’ve got it. This election is done.” In fact, they were acting like they already knew what the outcome was going to be. They had it covered and perhaps they did, very sadly for our country. It was all very, very strange. Within days after the election, we witnessed an orchestrated effort to anoint the winner even while many key states were still being counted.

The constitutional process must be allowed to continue. We’re going to defend the honesty of the vote by ensuring that every legal ballot is counted and that no illegal ballot is counted. This is not just about honoring the votes of 74 million Americans who voted for me, it’s about ensuring that Americans can have faith in this election and in all future elections.

Today I will detail some of the shocking irregularities, abuses and fraud that had been revealed in recent weeks but before laying out just a small portion of the evidence we have uncovered, and we have so much evidence, I want to explain the corrupt mail-in balloting scheme that Democrats systematically put into place that allowed voting to be altered, especially in swing states, which they had to win. They just didn’t know that it was going to be that tough, because we were leading in every swing state by so much, far greater than they ever thought possible. While it has long been understood that the Democrat political machine engages in voter fraud from Detroit to Philadelphia, to Milwaukee, Atlanta, so many other places. What changed this year was the Democrat party’s relentless push to print and mail out tens of millions of ballots sent to unknown recipients with virtually no safeguards of any kind. This allowed fraud and abuse to occur in a scale never seen before. Using the pandemic as a pretext, Democrat politicians and judges drastically changed election procedures just months, and in some cases, weeks before the election on the 3rd of November.

Very rarely were legislatures involved and constitutionally, they had to be involved, but very, very rarely, and you’ll see that as we continue to file our suits, it’s constitutionally, absolutely incorrect what took place, even from a legal standpoint. Many states, such as Nevada and California sent millions of live ballots to every person on their voter rolls whether those individuals had requested ballots or not, whether they were dead or alive, they got ballots. Other states such as Minnesota, Michigan, and Wisconsin, instituted universal absentee balloting right in the middle of an election year, sending absentee ballot requests forms to all voters on all rolls. It didn’t matter who they were. This colossal expansion of mail-in voting opened the flood gates to massive fraud. It’s a widely known fact that the voting rolls are packed with people who are not lawfully eligible to vote, including those who are deceased, have moved out of their state, and even our non-citizens of our country.

Beyond this, the records are riddled with errors, wrong addresses, duplicate entries, and many other issues. This is not disputed. It has never been disputed. Dozens of counties in the key swing states have more registered voters on the rolls than they have voting age citizens, including 67 counties in Michigan. All of this is evidence. In Wisconsin, the state’s Board of Elections could not confirm the residency of more than 100,000 people, but repeatedly refused to remove those names from its voter rolls before the election. They knew why, nobody else did. I knew why. They were illegal voters. It is a travesty that in the year 2020, we do not have any means of verifying the eligibility of those who cast ballots in an election and such an important election it is, or determining who they are, whether they live in the state or whether they’re even American citizens. We have no idea.

We have an in all swing states major infractions or outright fraud, which is far more in numbers or votes then we need to overturn the results of a state. In other words, in Wisconsin, as an example, where we were way up on election night, they ultimately had us miraculously losing by 20,000 votes. I can show you right here, that Wisconsin, we’re leading by a lot and then at 3:42 in the morning, there was this, it was a massive dump of votes, mostly Biden, almost all Biden. To this day, everyone’s trying to figure out, “Where did it come from?” But I went from leading by a lot, to losing by a little and that’s right here. That’s at 3:42 in the morning, that’s Wisconsin, a terrible thing, terrible, terrible thing.

But we will have far more, many times more than the 20,000 votes needed to overturn the state. If we are right about the fraud, Joe Biden can’t be president. We’re talking about hundreds of thousands of votes. We’re talking about numbers like nobody has ever seen before. Just as an example, in certain states, we’ll be down by, let’s say, 7,000 votes, but we’ll find later on 20,000, 50,000, 100,00, 200,000 discrepancies or fraudulent votes, and that includes votes that went through when they were not allowed to be seen by Republican poll watchers, because the poll watchers were locked out of the building. Or people that innocently came to vote on November 3rd, who were all excited about their vote, they were happy. They were proud to be citizens of the United States of America, and they went up and they said, “I’d like to vote.” They were told that they can’t vote. “I’m sorry,” they were told, “I’m sorry. You’ve already voted by mail-in ballot. Congratulations. We received a ballot, so you can no longer vote.”

They didn’t know what to do. They had no one to complain to, most just left and said, “That’s strange.” But many people complained and complained vehemently, and in a lot of cases, they filled out a provisional ballot, which was almost never used, but in virtually every case was a vote for Trump. In other words, they went in to vote and they were told that they voted and they didn’t vote. They left and they felt horror and they lost respect for our system. This happened tens of thousands of times all over the country. That’s how desperate the Democrats were. They would fill out ballots of people not even knowing if these people were going to show up. When they did show up, they said, “Sorry, you’ve already voted.”

On top of everything else, we have a company that’s very suspect. It’s name is Dominion, with the turn of a dial or the change of a chip, you could press a button for Trump and the vote goes to Biden. What kind of a system is this? We have to go to paper, maybe it takes longer. But the only secure system is paper. Not these systems that nobody understands, including in many cases, the people that run them. Although, unfortunately, I think they understand them far too well.

In one Michigan County, as an example, that used Dominion systems, they found that nearly 6,000 votes had been wrongly switched from Trump to Biden, and this is just the tip of the iceberg. This is what we caught. How many didn’t we catch? Are there 100s of other examples throughout the country? Are there 1000s? We just got lucky and they called it a glitch, but we found numerous glitches that evening. 96% of the company’s political donations went to Democrats, not surprisingly. Frankly, when you look at who’s running the company, who’s in charge, who owns it, which we don’t know, where are the votes counted? Which we think are counted in foreign countries, not in the United States, Dominion is a disaster. Election authorities in Texas have repeatedly blocked the deployment of Dominion systems due to concerns about security vulnerabilities and the potential for errors and outright fraud. Every district that uses Dominion systems must be carefully monitored and carefully investigated, but not only for the future. Right now, we’re worried about the present, and what went on with an election that we won without question. Under my lead, the Republicans won almost every state house in the United States, which they weren’t expected to do. We went up to 16 seats in the house. The numbers are still being tabulated, because there are nine seats that nobody really knows. They don’t know. Two weeks later, it’s still under consideration, because it’s a mess. Republicans were supposed to lose many seats, and instead they won those seats in the house, and a very important election that’s coming up will determine whether, or not we hold the Senate.

David Perdue and Kelly Leffler are two tremendous people. Unfortunately, in Georgia, they’re using the same horrible Dominion system, and it’s already been out that, think of it, hundreds of thousands of absentee ballots have been requested. You check it out who’s requesting those ballots. The difference is, it’s one state, and we will have our eyes on it like nobody’s ever watched anything before, because we have to win those two Senate seats. The tremendous success we had in the House of Representatives, and the tremendous success we’ve had so far in the Senate, unexpected success all over the country, and right here in Washington.

It is statistically impossible that the person, me, that led the charge lost. The greatest pollsters, the real pollsters, not the ones that had us down 17 points in Wisconsin when we actually won, or the ones that had us down four or five points in Florida, and we won by many points, or had us even, and down in Texas, and we won by a lot, not those pollsters, but real pollsters. Pollsters that are fair, and honest said, “We can’t understand a thing like this. It’s never happened before. You led the country to victory, and you were the only one that was lost. It’s not possible.”

The speaker of the house of a certain state said, “Sir, I expected to lose my seat, and instead, because of you, and because of that incredible charge, and all of those rallies, we had a tremendous victory, and everybody knows it. You are much more popular than me, sir, except I got many more votes than you did, and it’s impossible that that happened. There is something wrong.” I’ll tell you what’s wrong, voter fraud. Here’s an example. This is Michigan. At 6:31 in the morning, a vote dump of 149,772 votes came in unexpectedly. We were winning by a lot. That batch was received in horror.

Nobody knows anything about it. By the way, there’s your line. This is one of many. Here’s what is normal, and all of a sudden, look at that. This is normal, normal. Look even here, normal, and then boom, all of a sudden, I go from winning by a lot to losing a tight race. It’s corrupt. Detroit is corrupt. I have a lot of friends in Detroit. They know it, but Detroit is totally corrupt. Look at this, look at this. That’s at 6:31 in the morning, unexpectedly came in. In the recent recount in Georgia, which means nothing because they don’t want to check signatures, and if you’re not going to check signatures in Georgia, it doesn’t work, but we have a secretary of state, and a governor who made it very difficult to check signatures.

Why? You’ll have to ask them, but without a signature match, or a check, it doesn’t matter. They found thousands and thousands of votes that were out of whack, all against me. This was during a recount that I didn’t even think mattered. They found many thousands of votes, and that recount didn’t matter. The one that matters is the one that’s going on now, that because of the fact it’s so close, they had to by law give another recount, but the recount has to be a recount where they check the signatures. Otherwise, they’re just checking the same dishonest thing. It won’t matter.

In this case, the signatures on envelopes are the only thing that is relevant. We will compare the signature on the envelope to the signatures from past elections, and we will find that many thousands of people signed these ballots illegally. The Democrats had this election rigged right from the beginning. They used the pandemic, sometimes referred to as the China virus, where it originated as an excuse to mail out tens of millions of ballots, which ultimately led to a big part of the fraud, a fraud that the whole world is watching, and there is no one happier right now than China.

Many people received two, three and four ballots. They were sent to dead people by the thousands. In fact, dead people, and we have many examples filled out ballots, made applications, and then, voted, which is even worse. In other words, dead people went through a process. Some have been dead for 25 years. Millions of votes were cast illegally in the swing states alone, and if that’s the case, the results of the individual swing states must be overturned, and overturned immediately. Some people say that’s too far out, that’s too harsh. Well, does that mean we take a precedent, and we’ve just elected a president where the votes were fraudulent?

No, it means you have to turn over the election, and everybody knows without going much further, and they’ve seen the evidence, but they don’t want to talk about it what a disaster this election was, a total catastrophe, but we’re going to show it, and hopefully, the courts in particular, the Supreme Court of the United States will see it, and respectfully, hopefully, they will do what’s right for our country, because our country can not live with this kind of an election. We could say, let’s go on to the next one, but no, we have to look also at our past. We can’t let this happen.

Maybe you’ll have a revote, but I don’t think that’s appropriate. When those votes are corrupt, when they’re irregular, when they get caught, they’re terminated, and I very easily win. In all states, I very easily win, the swing states, just like I won them at 10 o’clock in the evening, the evening of the election. We’re not looking to show you 25 faulty or fraudulent votes, which don’t mean anything, because it doesn’t overturn the state, or a fifty, or a hundred. We’re showing you hundreds of thousands far more than we need, far more than the margin, far more than the law requires. We can show many times what is necessary to win the state.

The media knows this, but they don’t want to report it. In fact, they outright refuse to even cover it, because they know the result if they do. Even what I’m saying now will be demeaned and disparaged, but that’s okay. I just keep on going forward, because I’m representing 74 million people, and in fact, I’m also representing all of the people that didn’t vote for me. The mail-in voting scam is the latest part of their four year effort to overturn the results of the 2016 election, and it’s been like living in hell. Our opponents have proven many times again and again, that they will say, and do anything to get back into power.

The corrupt forces who are registering dead voters and stuffing ballot boxes are the same people who have perpetrated one phony and fraudulent hoax after another. You’ve been watching it now for four years. These entrenched interests oppose our movement, because we put America first. They don’t put America first, and we’re returning power to you the American people. They don’t want America first, they only want power for themselves. They want to make money, that’s why they don’t want me as your president. I’ve been investigated from soon after I announced I was running for president. When I immediately went to number one in the Republican primary polls, the investigations never stopped. They went on for four years, and I won them all, I beat them all. Russia, Russia, Russia, the impeachment hoax, and so much more. Robert Mueller spent $48 million of taxpayer money investigating me for two and a half years, issued over 2,800 subpoenas, executed nearly 500 search warrants, issued 230 orders for communications records, and conducted 500 witness interviews, all looking to take me down. There was no collusion in the end, none whatsoever. Senator Marco Rubio, the head of the Senate Intelligence Committee stated, “The committee found no evidence that then candidate Donald Trump, or his campaign colluded with the Russian government.” And, I thank Senator Rubio for that statement.

Now, I hear that these same people that failed to get me in Washington have sent every piece of information to New York, so that they can try to get me there. It’s all been gone over, over and over again. For $48 million you go through tax returns, you go through everything. The New York attorney general, who recently ran for office campaigned without knowing me stating, “We will join with law enforcement and other attorneys general across this nation in removing this president from office.” I never met her. “It’s important that everybody understands”, she said, “that the days of Donald Trump are coming to an end.” And all it’s been is a big investigation in Washington and New York and any place else that can investigate because that’s what they want to do. They want to take not me, but us down. Then we can never let them do that. Everything has been looked at. A friend of mine, who’s very smart, said, “You’ve probably seen more than anybody else. You’ve probably been investigated more than anybody else. And for you to come out with a clean bill of health makes you probably the cleanest person in this country.”

Some people in this administration, but fortunately not all have been beaten down and disparaged. They just disappeared. Nobody knows what happened to them. Why aren’t they active? Why aren’t they involved? There’s so much to be involved in. The corruption is so rampant. They just couldn’t take it anymore. They were threatened by Democrats with impeachment and horrible things were said about them. And they’re good people. Even recently, the head of the GSA was hounded and harassed as she reported, like she has never been before. What can I say? We caught Comey cold, we caught McCabe cold. We caught them all. We’re still waiting for a report from a man named Durham, who I have never spoken to, and I have never met. They can go after me before the election as much as they want, but unfortunately Mr. Durham didn’t want to go after these people, or have anything to do with going after them before the election. So who knows if he is ever going to even do a report.

But if you look at the lies, and the leaks, and the illegal acts of behavior done by so many people, and their desire to hurt the president of the United States, something should happen. The hardest thing I have to do is explain why nothing is happening with all of these people that got caught spying on my campaign. It’s never happened before and it should never happen again to a president of the United States. All you have to do is watch the hearings and see for yourself. The evidence is overwhelming. The fraud that we’ve collected in recent weeks is overwhelming, having to do with our election. Everyone is saying, ” Wow, the evidence is overwhelming”, when they get to see it. But really it’s too late to change the course of an election. It’s too late to change the outcome.

In fact, there is still plenty of time to certify the correct winner of the election and that’s what we’re fighting to do. But no matter when it happens, when they see fraud, when they see false votes and when those votes number far more than is necessary, you can’t let another person steal that election from you. All over the country, people are together in holding up signs, “Stop the steal.” To understand how we will challenge this fraud, it is important to know the problems with mail-in balloting. Pennsylvania, Michigan, Nevada, Georgia, Arizona, and most other states allowed anyone to get an absentee ballot and cast their vote without showing any ID. The voting took place entirely on the honor system, no identification of any kind was required.

Most Americans would also be shocked to learn that no state in the country verifies United States citizenship as a condition for voting in federal elections. This is a national disgrace. No other advanced country conducts elections this way. Many European countries have instituted major restrictions on mail-in voting, specifically, because they recognize the nearly unlimited potential for fraud. Out of 42 European nations, all but two prohibit absentee ballots entirely for people who reside inside the country, or else they require those who need absentee ballots to show a very, very powerful ID.

Throughout the Democrat effort to dramatically expand mail-in voting, the Democrat party leaders were also, feverishly working to block measures, designed to protect against fraud, such as signature verification, residency verification, or voter ID. And citizenship confirmation was almost unthought of that we should ask for it. Can you believe this? These are not the actions of people who want fair elections. These are the actions of people who want to steal elections, who are willing to create fraud. The only conceivable reason why you would block common sense measures to verify legal eligibility for voting, is you are trying to encourage, enable, solicit, or carry out fraud.

It is important for Americans to understand that these destructive changes to our election laws were not a necessary response to the pandemic. The pandemic simply gave the Democrats an excuse to do what they have been trying to do for many, many years. In fact, the very first bill that house Democrats introduced when Nancy Pelosi became speaker, was it attempt to mandate universal mail-in voting and eliminate measures such as voter ID, which is so necessary. Dramatically eroding the integrity of our elections was the Democrats number one priority for a simple reason, they wanted to steal the 2020 presidential election. All of the Democrat efforts to expand mail-in balloting laid the groundwork for the systematic and pervasive fraud that occurred in this election.

In Pennsylvania, large amounts of mail-in and absentee ballots were processed illegally. And in secret, in Philadelphia, in Allegheny counties, without our observers present. They were not allowed to be present. In fact, they weren’t even allowed in the same room. They were thrown out of the building and they looked from outside in, but they had no way of even seeing, because there were no windows. And the windows that were there were boarded up. Democrats even went to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court to block observers from receiving access. There is only one possible reason that the corrupt Democrat political machine would oppose transparency during the vote counting. It’s because they know they are hiding illegal activity. It’s very simple.

This is an egregious, inexcusable. And irreversible harm that stains the entire election, yet this unprecedented practice of excluding our observers, our vote watchers, as some people call them, occurred in Democrat run cities and key states all across the nation. Here are just some of the additional facts that we’ve uncovered. Many voters all across Pennsylvania received two ballots in the mail, and many others received mail-in ballots for which they never applied. So many get ballots, they didn’t even know what they were for. And again, so many received more than one ballot. In some cases, more than two ballots. And they happened to be, for the most part, Democrats.

In Fayette County, Pennsylvania, multiple voters received ballots that were already filled out. They didn’t know what happened. In Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, a poll watcher, overheard unregistered voters being told to return later to try to vote under a different name. Tens of thousands of voters across Pennsylvania were treated differently based on whether they were Republicans, or Democrats. Voters who submitted floored ballots in some Democrat precincts were notified and asked to fix their ballots, while Republican precincts, and in particular Republican voters, were not so notified which plainly violates the Equal Protection Clause of the United States Constitution.”If you are a Democrat, we’re going to fix up your ballot. make sure it’s perfect. If you are Republican, don’t even talk about it.”

In Michigan, a career employee of the city of Detroit, with the city workers, coaching voters to vote straight Democrat, while accompanying them to watch who they were voting for, violating the law and the sanctity of the secret ballot. You can’t do that. The same workers say she was instructed not to ask for any ID and not to attempt to validate any signatures. She was also told to illegally backdate ballots, many, many ballots, received after the deadline. This is something that is so unconstitutional and she estimates that thousands and thousands of ballots were improperly backdated by her and many others.

Other witnesses in Detroit also saw our election officials counting batches of the same ballots many times, as well as illegally duplicating ballots. One observer testified to seeing boxes and boxes of ballots, all bearing the same signature. Another observer in Detroit gave sworn testimony that he saw countless and valid ballots that did not belong to properly registered voters and then witnessed election workers in Wayne County entering fake birth dates into the system, in order to illegally count them. Witnesses of science wore an affidavit, so in other words, you go to jail if you lie, testifying that after election officials announced the last absentee votes had been received, a batch of tens of thousands of ballots arrived, many without envelopes, all voting for Democrats.

In Wisconsin, a record number of voters were categorized as indefinitely confined. A status reserved for severely disabled individuals, also for the elderly that allow them to vote without showing ID. Last year, approximately 70,000 people claimed this status statewide. This year, the number miraculously was nearly 250,000 voters, after election officials in Milwaukee and Dane County, a couple of the most corrupt political places in our country, urged citizens to improperly register under this status. And register they did in levels that don’t exist. In Wisconsin, there are approximately 70,000 absentee ballots that do not have matching ballot applications as required by law in Georgia, nine observers have testified to seeing countless irregular ballots without the creases or typical markings indicating that the ballots did not arrive in envelopes as required. A poll watcher in Fulton County estimated that approximately 98% of the large number of unusually pristine ballots that she witnessed were for Biden. Highly unusual number. In addition, thousands of uncounted ballots were discovered in Floyd, Fayette, and Walton counties weeks after the election, and these ballots were mostly from Trump voters. They weren’t counted. They were from Trump voters.

In Detroit, everybody saw the tremendous conflict and the horrible way that the two Republican canvassers were treated so horribly because they wouldn’t vote when they saw that 71% of the precincts didn’t balance. Also, there were more votes than there were voters. Think of that. You had more votes than you had voters. That’s an easy one to figure, and it’s by the thousands. In Arizona, in-person voters whose balanced produced error messages from tabulation machines were told to press a button that resulted in their votes not being counted. Also in Arizona, the attorney general announced that mail-in ballots had been stolen from mailboxes and hidden under a rock.

In Clark County, Nevada, where most of the state’s voters reside, the standards for matching a signature using the signature verification machine were intentionally lowered to allow large numbers of ballots to be counted that otherwise would never have passed muster. This machine was set at the lowest level. According to one report, in order to test the process, nine voters in Clark County cast ballots with intentionally incorrect signatures, and eight of the nine ballots were accepted and counted. They said you could sign your name as Santa Claus, and it would be accepted. Last week, the Clark County Commission threw out the results of a local election after the registrar reported finding, quote, “discrepancies that we can’t explain.” Also in Nevada, some voters were entered into a raffle for more than a dozen gift cards worth as much as $250 if they could prove they had voted.

This took place on Indian reservations. One of the most significant indications of widespread fraud is the extraordinarily low rejection rates for mail-in ballots in many key states. These are the states that I had to win. In swing state after swing state, the number of ballots rejected has been dramatically lower than what would have been expected based on prior experience. That means years and years of voting. In Georgia, just 0.2%, that’s substantially less than 1%, of mail-in ballots have been rejected. In other words, almost none have been rejected. They took everything. Nothing was rejected, practically, compared to 6.4% in 2016. There are those that think that 6.4 was a low number.

Think of it. Almost none were rejected. The previous election, 6.4% were rejected. We have seen similar declines in Pennsylvania, Nevada, and Michigan. Ballots weren’t rejected, especially if they happen to be in Democrat areas. These irregularities are inexplicable unless there is a deliberate effort to accept ineligible ballots or fraudulent ballots.

In Pennsylvania, the secretary of state and the state supreme court in essence abolished signature verification requirements just weeks prior to the election, in violation of state law. You’re not allowed to do that. It has to be approved by the legislature. A judge can’t do it. A state can’t do it. An official can’t do it. The only one that can do it is the legislature.

The reason for this is clear. They were not verifying signatures because they know the ballots have not been filled out by the voters in whose names they were cast. In other words, people filled them out that had nothing to do with the names on the ballot. A simple recount of the ballots under these circumstances only compounds the fraud. The only way to determine whether there was an honest vote is to conduct a full review of the envelopes in the relevant states. You will find that many of them, tens of thousands, have fraudulent signatures. A full forensic audit is required to ensure that only legal ballots from lawfully registered voters that were properly cast are included in the final count.

This election is about great voter fraud, fraud that has never been seen like this before. It’s about poll watchers who were not allowed to watch. So illegal. It’s about ballots that poured in, and nobody but a few knew where they came from. They were counted, and they weren’t for me. It’s about big leads on election night, tremendous leads, leads where I was being congratulated for a decisive easy victory. All of a sudden, by morning or a couple of days later, those leads rapidly evaporated. It’s about numbers of ballots that were sent that nobody know where they came from. It’s about machinery that was defective, machinery that was stopped during certain parts of the evening, miraculously to open with more votes.

It was about many other things, but above all, it was about fraud. This election was rigged. Everybody knows it. I don’t mind if I lose an election, but I want to lose an election fair and square. What I don’t want to do is have it stolen from the American people. That’s what we’re fighting for. We have no choice to be doing that. We already have the proof. We already have the evidence, and it’s very clear. Many people in the media and even judges so far have refused to accept it. They know it’s true. They know it’s there. They know who won the election, but they refuse to say, “You’re right.” Our country needs somebody to say, “You’re right.”

Ultimately, I am prepared to accept any accurate election result, and I hope that Joe Biden is as well. We already have the proof. We already have tens of thousands of ballots more than we need to overturn all of these states that we’re talking about. This is an election for the highest office in the greatest country in the history of the world. Every reasonable American should be able to agree, based on what we have already documented, that we need a systematic analysis of the mail-in ballots to review the envelopes. It’s about the signature. If they’re on the envelopes, we can only review the envelopes, and that will tell us everything.

This is the absolute minimum we should expect. This is not just about my campaign, although it has a lot to do with who’s going to be your next president. This is about restoring faith and confidence in American elections. This is about our democracy and the sacred rights that generations of Americans have fought, bled, and died to secure. Nothing is more urgent or more important. The only ballots that should count in this election are those cast by eligible voters who are citizens of our country, residents of the states in which they voted, and who cast their ballots in a lawful manner before the legal deadline.

Moreover, we must never again have an election in which there is not a reliable and transparent system to verify the eligibility, identity, and residency of every single person who casts a ballot, a very, very cherished ballot. Many very smart people have congratulated me on all we’ve done: the biggest tax cuts in history, regulation cuts, the biggest in history. We rebuilt our military. We took care of our vets like never before, Space Force, and so much more. Then they went on to say, as big and as important as these events were, the single greatest achievement in your presidency will be exactly what you’re doing right now: voter integrity for our nation. It’s more important than any of the things that we discussed.

If we don’t root out the fraud, the tremendous and horrible fraud that’s taken place in our 2020 election, we don’t have a country anymore. With the resolve and support of the American people, we will restore honesty and integrity to our elections. We will restore trust in our system of government. Thank you. God bless you. God bless America.
