    The meeting was productive and I’m really grateful for the engagement and thoughts from policymakers.

    Sweden Finds “Foreign Objects” & Explosive Residue On Nord Stream Pipelines

    To nobody’s surprise, the investigation has concluded the natural gas leaks which rocked European energy markets and resulted in tit-for-tat accusations between Moscow and the West was the result of “gross sabotage”.

    While not naming a culprit, the Swedish final report of this initial stage of the inquiry uncovered evidence of “foreign objects” placed on the pipelines.

    Sam Bankman-Fried, the disgraced boy king of crypto, explained

    In the annals of crypto disasters, the tale of Bankman-Fried may go down as one of the most jaw-dropping. He resigned from his crypto exchange, FTX, as it collapsed from a domino effect of a surge in customers trying to withdraw their funds, and the company filed for bankruptcy. The Wall Street Journal has reported that Bankman-Fried may have illegally taken about $10 billion in FTX customers’ funds for his trading firm, Alameda Research, whose future is also in peril. And Bankman-Fried is now worth close to nothing.

    Here is the problem with the elections in the US. The Republicans know there is voter fraud.
    What are they doing about it?
    They talk about fraud. They hold rallies.

    And they fight within the party. Not just Conservatives vs Rinos. But as seen lately, Conservatives vs Conservatives.

    Instead of the Don saying I am the greatest and causing rifts between MAGA supporters, he would be better off using his energy and resources to get rid of the fraud by cleaning up the voters rolls. It has been done in four states. Learn from them and do it in all the states.

    2022 This Is What Happens When You Do Not Clean The Voter Rolls

    The 2022 election is the second election showing hapless Republicans just what happens when they fail to clean up the voter rolls.

    Voter rolls in every state are fraught with fake people – multiple people with the same name and age, dead people, voters who moved 5 years ago but are still on the rolls, people voting from U.P.S. boxes.

    The future is at hand – and the Republicans need to get on board and make Job #1 the clean up of the voter rolls.

    On the same topic, from the writer of the above article.

    Election Fraud 2.0! O.K., So What Are You Gonna Do About It?

    In 2020, Democrats set up corner mail-in ballot drop boxes, harvested thousands of floating ballots, and live, on video tape, dropped them off at ballot-gathering stations.

    In 2022, only the Republican Party, truly The Stupid Party, could be caught flat-footed with its opponents doing exactly the same thing, exactly the same way, at full scale, on video, again.

    It is exasperating to listen to the moaning in Arizona where the Maricopa County election fraud factory did precisely the same thing in 2022 as it did in 2020….

    Let’s ask the question nobody is asking: Why were candidates spending millions on ads and organizations while ignoring the work of cleaning up the voter rolls?

    It could be accidental or false flag. But, as Alex Christoforou says in the video, Zelensky was quick to blame Russia. He called for retaliation and action from the West. This would be the trigger for WW3. The situation is so volatile, it only needs a spark to set if off.

    When will all those Zelensky “fans” realise that they have been supporting the true villain of this war?

    kaysee, DJT doesn’t have the power to do that. It is in the hands of the States.

    Eyrie, it is a state issue. But DJT has spent his time talking about the fraud and the stolen election. In the month or two following the 2020 election, that was okay.

    But then, he should have got down to the clean-up. His power is linked to his MAGA followers and his ability to motivate them to action. What could the MAGA voters do?

    See what happened in Wisconsin with leftists in power. In this article that I had posted yesterday, the writer says:

    There were 4 states in 2022 where there was a counter narrative: Ohio, Florida, Texas and Wisconsin.

    In Ohio, Florida and Texas, voter integrity groups, many using Fractal Programming challenged voters and cleaned up the rolls. They had Republican governors, so it was within their grasp. Much of the fraud you saw in other states bypassed these states because there were not phantoms to fill in the needed votes.

    Wisconsin had no Republican governor, and they have the Wisconsin Election Commission – a highly partisan group with a proven history of working with Leftist groups.

    But in Wisconsin – using the Fractal Programming system, the election integrity team met with county registrars not the Secretary of State. They quietly showed these registrars the fake names and addresses on their voter rolls. Some of these registrars took action, some did not.

    In the end, enough fake voters were removed from the system to impact a senate election.

    This is the future for Republicans. The question is will they figure it out?

    In the other article,

    In 2022, innovative Republican candidates, a very few, mailed postcards to every voter in their congressional district. The cards that came back = NON-DELIVERABLE ADDRESS. They challenged ballots sent to these addresses, and perhaps they sent volunteers to find some of those accumulated ballots.

    We know a voter integrity team in Georgia, working from their kitchens, doing similar “analysis.” 

    People, this isn’t hard. This isn’t expensive. This is mandatory! Find the phantoms!

    In August, Serena Williams said she didn’t like the word “retirement”. So she said she was thinking about it as a “transition”. It seems, a few months later, she may be planning to re-transition or de-transition or ex-transition.

    Now, Lisa Wilkinson says she has decided it’s time to “re-prioritise” a few things in her life.

    According to Peter Ford in this article:

    “There will be more ‘shock resignations’ in the next two weeks. How coincidental so many people all decide at same time they ‘need a change’,” he claimed.

    He also appeared to hit out at Wilkinson herself, tweeting on Sunday: “Only Lisa could manage to announce ‘her decision’ and make herself a victim at the same time. All the hard work she’s put in etc etc for four nights a week and 20 grand a week. That poor lady!”

    Are there any other female, victim, multi-millionaire celebrities out there who are planning a simple “re-tirement”? Or will it be another “re-invention”?
