VIEWPOINTS<\/strong><\/h4>\nCase for President Trump Invoking Insurrection Act to Restore Election Integrity<\/h1>\nThe Insurrection Act of 1807<\/h3>\n
by Stephen B. Meister<\/p>\n
Commentary<\/em><\/p>\nDuring the presidency of Thomas Jefferson, the Tenth Congress enacted the Insurrection Act of 1807, which was then signed by Jefferson into law, to foil the plot of Revolutionary War hero Aaron Burr\u2014following the destruction of his political career after he shot and killed Alexander Hamilton in a duel\u2014to raise an army to establish his own dynasty in what was then the Louisiana Territory.<\/p>\n
The Insurrection Act empowers the president of the United States to deploy U.S. military and federalized National Guard troops to suppress civil disorder, insurrection, and rebellion. Section 252 of the Act, states:<\/p>\n
\u201cWhenever the President considers that unlawful obstructions, combinations, or assemblages, or rebellion against the authority of the United States, make it impracticable to enforce the laws of the United States in any State by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, he may call into Federal service such of the militia of any State, and use such of the armed forces, as he considers necessary to enforce those laws or to suppress the rebellion.\u201d<\/p>\n
Generally, the U.S. military remains free of civil conflicts on U.S. soil, as no one wants U.S. armed forces using physical force against U.S. civilians. Indeed, when President Donald Trump threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act, and send the National Guard in response to the George Floyd riots, including, for example, to address Seattle\u2019s failure to restore law and order over the so-called \u201cautonomous zone,\u201d then-Defense Secretary Mark Esper openly stated his disagreement with the president.<\/p>\n
Ultimately, President Trump did not then invoke the Insurrection Act. But considering the possibility of the Act\u2019s invocation now, to address \u201cunlawful obstructions\u201d to an attempt to verify ballots, and an \u201cinsurrection\u201d surrounding the 2020 election generally, two powerful distinctions must at the outset be noted: (1) Esper is no longer Defense Secretary, Trump having fired and replaced him with Christopher Miller, the director of the National Counterterrorism Center, and (2) troops could be deployed to take control over ballots and voting machines in swing states, not to suppress and disperse rioting civilians.<\/p>\n
The president\u2019s invocation of the Insurrection Act is not a declaration of martial law. The Constitution is not suspended. The writ of habeas corpus is not suspended. The president would be using troops to enforce the law, not override it.<\/p>\n
To understand the case for Trump\u2019s potential invocation of the Insurrection Act, we must consider more broadly the 2020 election and surrounding historical circumstances.<\/p>\n
Election Integrity Was Shattered by Numerous Badges of Fraud<\/h2>\n
At law, fraud is often proved by what are known as \u201cbadges of fraud\u201d\u2014telltale signs that a fraud has taken place\u2014short of positive proof of the actual fraud, because fraudsters have a tendency of covering their tracks.<\/p>\n
Case in point: Harry Markopolos. At least 7 years before the lid was blown off the $65 billion Ponzi scheme run by Bernie Madoff, Harry Markopolos, a money fund manager, blew the whistle on Madoff\u2019s decades-long Ponzi scheme. Markopolos\u2019 \u201cproof\u201d was a single compelling badge of fraud: in his words, Madoff\u2019s \u201cimpossibly smooth\u201d returns over decades. Markopolos, who made investments for a living, knew no one could have such a consistent record, with no downturns, no volatility, and for so many years on end. Markopolos\u00a0published a book<\/a>\u00a0titled \u201cNo One Would Listen,\u201d remarking, after exposure of Madoff\u2019s enormous Ponzi scheme, \u201cthe math was so compelling.\u201d<\/p>\nBadges of Fraud in the 2020 Election: The \u2018Math Is So Compelling\u2019<\/h3>\n
Consider now\u2014away from the mountains of direct evidence of voter fraud\u2014the \u201cmath\u201d involved in the 2020 election:<\/p>\n
\n- Shortly after midnight (eastern), President Trump was leading in all six of the swing states still in issue: Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona, and Nevada, and had racked up, apart from those six states, 232 electoral votes to Biden\u2019s 227.<\/li>\n
- During the early morning hours of Nov. 4, not one or two, but all six states flipped for Biden.<\/li>\n
- The early-morning-Nov. 4 \u201cblue-shift\u201d took place only in the six swing states (nowhere else), through a series of \u201cspikes,\u201d almost entirely consisting of mailed ballots (made possible due to radical changes in voting laws following the CCP virus pandemic), in which Biden received the vast majority of the votes. According to an analysis published through substack, these\u00a0spikes include<\/a>:\n
\n- \u201cAn update in Michigan listed as 6:31 a.m. Eastern Time on Nov. 4, 2020, which shows 141,258 votes for Joe Biden and 5,968 votes for Donald Trump\u201d<\/li>\n
- \u201cAn update in Wisconsin listed as 3:42 a.m. Central Time on Nov. 4, 2020, which shows \u201c143,379 votes for Joe Biden and 25,163 votes for Donald Trump\u201d<\/li>\n
- \u201cA vote update in Georgia listed at 1:34 a.m. Eastern Time on Nov. 4, 2020, which shows 136,155 votes for Joe Biden and 29,115 votes for Donald Trump\u201d<\/li>\n
- \u201cAn update in Michigan listed as of 3:50 a.m. Eastern Time on Nov. 4, 2020, which shows 54,497 votes for Joe Biden and 4,718 votes for Donald Trump\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- Those four spikes yielded 426,241 Biden votes but only 64,964 Trump votes.<\/li>\n
- Somehow Biden did very poorly in all parts of the country except, only and exactly, where it mattered. Out of the 3,000 counties in the United States, 19 so-called\u00a0\u201cbellwether\u201d counties<\/a>\u00a0have had a perfect record, since 1980, of voting for the winner. Donald Trump won 18 of these 19 counties. For example, Vigo County, Indiana, and Valencia County, New Mexico, each have perfect records voting for picking the winning candidate since the 1952 election famously gotten wrong by the Chicago Tribune, which ran a cover declaring \u201cDewey Defeats Truman.\u201d Barack Obama won these two bellwether counties in 2008, yet Trump handily defeated Biden in both and 16 other bellwether counties.<\/li>\n
- In 2008, Obama garnered 69,498,516 votes, the most ever until Biden slashed his record with over 80 million votes in 2020, yet, Trump this year won the highest share of non-white voters of any Republican since 1960: Roughly one-quarter of non-white voters cast their ballots for Trump, according to an Edison\u00a0exit poll<\/a>.<\/li>\n
- Trump improved his 2016 performance (just shy of 63 million votes) by 20 percent in 2020 (over 74 million votes). No incumbent president in U.S. history has ever improved his original performance that much and lost. For example, Barack Obama garnered 3.5 million fewer votes in 2012, yet won a second term.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
In sum: six swing states were won by Trump on Election Day, and all six shifted to Biden by virtue of early morning Nov. 4 spikes in mailed-in ballots overwhelmingly favoring Biden; but somehow Biden did not win elsewhere in the country; Trump won nearly all (18 of 19) of the historically accurate bellwether counties; Biden, campaigning from his basement, after obvious signs of cognitive decline and the hugely damaging Hunter Biden scandal breaking, running with a vice-presidential candidate who had to drop out of the race at 5 percent of the vote, somehow topped Obama, the first black U.S. president, by over 10 million votes, even though Trump won more of the non-white vote than any GOP candidate in the last 60 years.<\/p>\n
As Markopolos said of Madoff\u2019s Ponzi scheme, the \u201cmath was so compelling\u201d but no one would listen. The same is true of the 2020 election.<\/p>\n
Mountains of Proof of Fraud<\/h2>\n
Aside from these compelling badges of fraud, mountains of direct evidence of\u00a0widespread voter fraud<\/a>\u00a0have been uncovered:<\/p>\n\n- Radical change to universal mail-in ballots\u2014a weaponization of the CCP virus pandemic.<\/li>\n
- Dramatic ease of mail-in restrictions.<\/li>\n
- A dramatic drop in mailed ballot rejection rates.<\/li>\n
- Sworn affidavit of \u201cperfect black bubbles\u201d filled in on mailed ballots.<\/li>\n
- Sworn affidavits of ballots counted multiple times.<\/li>\n
- Refusal of election authorities to perform simple signature checks on mailed ballots.<\/li>\n
- Sworn affidavits of mailed ballots backdated.<\/li>\n
- Sworn affidavits of \u201cpristine ballots.\u201d<\/li>\n
- Sworn testimony of a Pennsylvania trucker concerning massive numbers of ballots shipped from Babylon, New York to Pennsylvania.<\/li>\n
- Ballots from out-of-state voters.<\/li>\n
- Ballots from voters listing fraudulent addresses.<\/li>\n
- Poll watchers denied access in violation of the law.<\/li>\n
- Video evidence of cases of hidden ballots.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Dominion Software<\/h2>\n
On top of the badges of fraud, compelling math, and actual proof of voter fraud, powerful evidence has emerged that the Dominion vote-counting software, in use in 28 states, has been compromised:<\/p>\n
\n- Sworn testimony that Dominion is linked to Smartmatic, which was allegedly developed at the request of Hugo Chavez to ensure his election victories.<\/li>\n
- Evidence that in many cases the Dominion machines were\u00a0connected to the internet<\/a>\u00a0and thus vulnerable to hacking, including by foreign actors.<\/li>\n
- Evidence that Dominion machines were not \u201chardened<\/a>\u201d (secured against hacking).<\/li>\n
- Evidence that Dominion components were made in China.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Election Officials Are Partisan Political Hacks<\/h2>\n
No objective observer would contend that the election officials are anything but partisan political hacks. They have no interest in a fair and honest election and are only concerned with a Biden win, no matter how fraudulently procured.<\/p>\n
Sadly, this sort of hyper-partisanship has extended to elected officials, including some Democratic governors, such as Pennsylvania\u2019s Tom Wolfe, who has shown he\u2019s set on certifying Pennsylvania\u2019s fraudulent results\u2014which now have Biden winning despite a nearly 800,000 vote Trump lead on Election Day, and despite mountains of evidence of fraud.<\/p>\n
Courts Demonstrate Reluctance to Intervene<\/h2>\n
Many court cases have been started in response to the widespread voter fraud, some by the president and others by disenfranchised voters represented by independent lawyers and lawyers who work for public interest groups.<\/p>\n
In some cases, the courts have, tragically, operated as partisan appendages of the Democratic executive branches of state governments. For example, the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, in a split 4\u20133 decision, overrode the GOP-majority controlled Pennsylvania Legislature\u2019s duly enacted law setting 8 p.m. on Election Day as the deadline for mail-in ballots. That decision was a brazen violation of the U.S. Constitution, as Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito has already suggested, which grants the\u00a0state legislatures the exclusive authority<\/a>\u00a0to determine the manner of selecting electors.<\/p>\nIn other cases, courts have demonstrated a reluctance to get involved. While I don\u2019t agree with this approach, it\u2019s understandable given the separation of powers inherent to our constitutional republic. Many judges simply don\u2019t want to tell the executive branch of a state government how to run their elections even if they see compelling evidence of rampant fraud.<\/p>\n
Can Biden Run Out the Clock?<\/h2>\n
The Electors\u2019 Clause of the U.S. Constitution grants each state legislature the exclusive power to decide the \u201cmanner\u201d in which the state\u2019s presidential electors are chosen. That means the state legislatures have the constitutional power to select Trump-pledged electors if they believe a fraudulent vote was certified or to disavow the Biden-pledged electors certified by the state\u2019s governor.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s less clear is whether the state lawmakers can do either at any time up until the Jan. 20 inauguration, or whether they are\u00a0foreclosed from doing so<\/a>\u00a0after the Electoral College is convened, which this year will be held on Dec. 14. The Electoral College date is set by Congressional statute, not by the Constitution, and to the extent that statute, as applied, constrains constitutional powers of the state lawmakers, it may be adjudged unconstitutional by the Supreme Court.<\/p>\nStill, in the absence of timely clarification from the Supreme Court, the state lawmakers may be persuaded that they lack a constitutional power they truly possess, or they just may be frustrated in exercising that power by Democratic governors refusing to call a special session of the state legislature.<\/p>\n
President Trump: Election System Under \u2018Coordinated Assault and Siege,\u2019 Left Wants \u2018Communism\u2019<\/h2>\n
While being careful never to say he will resist a peaceful transition of power, the president in a\u00a0pre-recorded speech<\/a>\u2014he dubbed the \u201cmost important\u201d he has ever made\u2014declared that our election system was under \u201ccoordinated assault and siege.\u201d<\/p>\nLater, the president\u00a0proposed<\/a>\u00a0\u201clandmark election reform\u201d and overhaul of election security systems, but that would only occur if and after Republicans won the Senate, and presupposes a Trump victory.<\/p>\nSpeaking at his recent rally<\/a>\u00a0supporting the GOP candidates in the Georgia Senate run-off (businesswoman Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-Ga.) and former business executive Sen. David Perdue (R-Ga.)), Trump said, \u201cThese people want to go further than socialism, they want to go into a communistic form of government, and I have no doubt about it.\u201d The president warned \u201cas Chuck Schumer said rather infamously, \u2018First we take Georgia, then we take America.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\nThe DOJ and FBI Have Demonstrated a Reluctance to Get Involved<\/h2>\n
Although the Department of Justice (DOJ), through special counsel Robert Mueller, and the FBI, spent years and interviewed over 500 witnesses to investigate the phony Russia-Trump collusion hoax, Attorney General William Barr took a few weeks to go out of his way to state to the press that he had not found evidence of voter fraud on a scale that would overturn the result.<\/p>\n
According to the president\u2019s lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, the FBI is \u201cmissing in action.\u201d Of course, it strains credulity that the DOJ could possibly have conducted any sort of real investigation into a national election involving 150 million voters in anywhere near the timeframe Barr took to make his comments.<\/p>\n
64 Pennsylvania Lawmakers Send Letter to Congress Asking Congress to Void Biden Electors<\/h2>\n
In light of the profound evidence of fraud in Pennsylvania (whereby Trump\u2019s 800,000 vote Election Day lead was overcome), including the unlawful blocking of GOP poll watchers, one trucker\u2019s shocking testimony regarding a delivery of thousands of ballots from Bethpage, New York, to Pennsylvania, and the Pennsylvania Supreme Court\u2019s unconstitutional and hyper-partisan overriding of the Pennsylvania Legislature\u2019s 8 p.m. Election Day deadline for mailed ballots, 64 Pennsylvania state senators, representatives, and members-elect of the General Assembly, including Speaker of the House Bryan Cutler and majority leader Kerry Benninghoff,\u00a0issued a letter<\/a>\u00a0(pdf<\/a>) on Dec. 4 asking Pennsylvania\u2019s congressional delegation to object to the 20 Electoral College votes certified by Gov. Tom Wolf for Biden.<\/p>\nMainstream Media and Social Media Have Been Corrupt Co-conspirators<\/h2>\n
No objective person would say the mainstream media and social media, have been journalistically objective. Indeed, no objective person would deny they have been active co-conspirators in stealing the election.<\/p>\n
Long before Election Day, Twitter and Facebook were aggressively suppressing factual articles adverse to Biden, including Twitter\u2019s having blocked the New York Post\u2019s breaking news story about the contents of the Hunter Biden laptop, and later having shut down the Post\u2019s Twitter account for weeks. The New York Post was founded in 1801 by Alexander Hamilton. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (R) railed against Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey.<\/p>\n
The mainstream and social media also repeatedly suppressed news of Biden\u2019s mental acuity and frequent stunning gaffes.<\/p>\n
Mainstream media voting polls suppressed Trump voters by reporting a Biden win was a foregone conclusion.<\/p>\n
On Election Day, the mainstream media displayed obvious bias calling states for Biden prematurely and delaying interminably calling Trump\u2019s victories in Florida, Texas, Ohio, and South Carolina. Even former conservative cable news outlet Fox News shamefully called Arizona for Biden on Election Day, when no objective observer would have done so.<\/p>\n
Almost all news outlets \u201ccalled\u201d the election weeks ago, and repeatedly refer to Biden as \u201cthe president-elect.\u201d Very few outlets\u2014The Epoch Times the most notable\u2014have refused to call the election while six swing states remain in dispute.<\/p>\n
The actions of the media and social media are more than bias, they amount to the active and substantial assistance of a co-conspirator. Consider this recent gem from the\u00a0New York Times<\/a>\u00a0in a supposed hard news story, the clear object of which is to stop the lawmakers and the courts from considering the evidence of fraud:<\/p>\n\u201cThe final days of the Trump presidency have taken on the stormy elements of a drama more common to history or literature than a modern White House. His rage and detached-from-reality refusal to concede defeat evoke images of a besieged overlord in some distant land defiantly clinging to power rather than going into exile or an erratic English monarch imposing his version of reality on his cowed court.\u201d<\/p>\n
Biden, Empty-Vessel Instrumentality of Insurrection?<\/h2>\n
Few objective voters could or would even try to make a case for Biden truly possessing the leadership abilities to serve as the leader of the free world.<\/p>\n
Biden graduated at the very bottom of his law school class. He has held political office for 47 years with virtually no accomplishments to speak of. He was forced to withdraw from the 1987 presidential race after admitting to plagiarism, and lost to Obama in 2008.<\/p>\n
Biden is on tape bragging about having successfully threatened the president of Ukraine into firing a prosecutor who was\u00a0investigating the Ukrainian company<\/a>\u00a0Burisma, which had employed his son Hunter, for over $50,000 a month, and Ukraine knuckled under, fired the prosecutor, and dropped the investigation.<\/p>\nShortly before the election, the Hunter Biden laptop scandal broke, during which evidence emerged that Hunter had taken millions from the Chinese Communist Party, which emails allegedly show he committed to share with his father, the \u201cbig guy.\u201d<\/p>\n
What Biden really offers, everyone knows, is a pliable empty vessel that the left can do with what they please. He serves as a figurehead and nothing more.<\/p>\n
While this alone is not a reason to overturn the election, it draws a highlighter through the risk of civil war, because it makes Biden\u2019s fraudulent election part of a broader scheme\u2014i.e., an insurrection.<\/p>\n
US Polls Show Half US Voters Believe the Election Was Stolen; Foreign Press and Officials Have Openly Recognized Widespread US Voter Fraud<\/h2>\n
A\u00a0Rasmussen poll<\/a>\u00a0shows that 47 percent of U.S. voters believe \u201cDemocrats stole votes or destroyed pro-Trump ballots in several states to ensure that Biden would win.\u201d This is a staggering result. It\u2019s one thing for voters to say they have no confidence in the winner. It\u2019s another for them to say the election was stolen. And, I believe, like the \u201cshy Trump\u201d voter, the true percentage of voters who believe the election was stolen has to be much higher. Indeed it\u2019s hard to understand how any well-informed Democrat could come to any other conclusion.<\/p>\nPresident Trump has claimed he has been privately called by many foreign leaders who have expressed similar sentiments.<\/p>\n
Australia\u2019s Sky News has repeatedly reported aggressively on the obvious fraud in the U.S. election.<\/p>\n
A Compelling Case That an Insurrection Is Unfolding Before Our Eyes<\/h2>\n
The confluence of events now evident, it can be cogently argued, presents a compelling case for the president\u2019s invocation of the Insurrection Act.<\/p>\n
On the one hand, there\u2019s a statistically impossible election outcome coupled with vast evidence (over 1,000 sworn affidavits) demonstrating specific voter fraud and vote-counting software and hardware\u2014designed for communists to permit voter fraud through voter-intention changing algorithms\u2014containing Chinese components and using foreign-based servers, connected to the internet.<\/p>\n
And, on the other hand\u2014following a nearly four-year-long attempted non-violent coup (including the bogus Mueller investigation and failed impeachment attempt)\u2014there\u2019s a conspiracy unfolding in the days following Election Day of political hacks, corrupt and complicit news and social media outlets, and partisan or gun-shy courts, working together to bring about a massive, fraudulent post-Election Day \u201cblue-shift\u201d only where it mattered, and the conspirators then collaboratively \u201crunning out the clock\u201d without the truth about election fraud ever having been determined.<\/p>\n
Add in to the equation an electorate at least half of which (likely far more) see the election as having been stolen, foreign leaders saying the same, and formerly mainstream Democrats threatening to pack the Court, end the filibuster, make D.C. and Puerto Rico into states, and finally to pack the electorate through amnesty for millions of illegal aliens, all for the purpose of achieving a one-party communist totalitarian state, and it\u2019s no longer a stretch to say that the country is facing a coordinated insurrection that presents an existential threat to the republic.<\/p>\n
The outcomes are binary: Either some combination of the courts and the state legislatures will take steps that result in either a Trump win or a contingent election in the House, which Trump then wins, or the statistical anomalies and proof of voter fraud is never addressed because the conspirators run out the clock, and Biden wins.<\/p>\n
Either outcome is fraught with danger. If Trump wins by either overturning election results in court, or through a contingent election following state lawmakers\u2019 sending dueling electors or simply disavowing their own election results, Democrats, including radical groups such as Antifa, could, and likely would, revolt openly and violently.<\/p>\n
Conversely, if Biden successfully runs out the clock, and the fraudulent results are certified, without any real audits having taken place or the evidence addressed or explained, the silent majority is not likely to remain silent a moment longer. Trump supporters could take the streets, and violence doubtless would erupt.<\/p>\n
Either way, massive property damage and deaths would ensue. The\u00a0CCP virus<\/a>\u00a0would likely spike further.<\/p>\n
The Insurrection Act of 1807<\/h3>\n
During the presidency of Thomas Jefferson, the Tenth Congress enacted the Insurrection Act of 1807, which was then signed by Jefferson into law, to foil the plot of Revolutionary War hero Aaron Burr\u2014following the destruction of his political career after he shot and killed Alexander Hamilton in a duel\u2014to raise an army to establish his own dynasty in what was then the Louisiana Territory.<\/p>\n
The Insurrection Act empowers the president of the United States to deploy U.S. military and federalized National Guard troops to suppress civil disorder, insurrection, and rebellion. Section 252 of the Act, states:<\/p>\n
\u201cWhenever the President considers that unlawful obstructions, combinations, or assemblages, or rebellion against the authority of the United States, make it impracticable to enforce the laws of the United States in any State by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, he may call into Federal service such of the militia of any State, and use such of the armed forces, as he considers necessary to enforce those laws or to suppress the rebellion.\u201d<\/p>\n
Generally, the U.S. military remains free of civil conflicts on U.S. soil, as no one wants U.S. armed forces using physical force against U.S. civilians. Indeed, when President Donald Trump threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act, and send the National Guard in response to the George Floyd riots, including, for example, to address Seattle\u2019s failure to restore law and order over the so-called \u201cautonomous zone,\u201d then-Defense Secretary Mark Esper openly stated his disagreement with the president.<\/p>\n
Ultimately, President Trump did not then invoke the Insurrection Act. But considering the possibility of the Act\u2019s invocation now, to address \u201cunlawful obstructions\u201d to an attempt to verify ballots, and an \u201cinsurrection\u201d surrounding the 2020 election generally, two powerful distinctions must at the outset be noted: (1) Esper is no longer Defense Secretary, Trump having fired and replaced him with Christopher Miller, the director of the National Counterterrorism Center, and (2) troops could be deployed to take control over ballots and voting machines in swing states, not to suppress and disperse rioting civilians.<\/p>\n
The president\u2019s invocation of the Insurrection Act is not a declaration of martial law. The Constitution is not suspended. The writ of habeas corpus is not suspended. The president would be using troops to enforce the law, not override it.<\/p>\n
To understand the case for Trump\u2019s potential invocation of the Insurrection Act, we must consider more broadly the 2020 election and surrounding historical circumstances.<\/p>\n
Election Integrity Was Shattered by Numerous Badges of Fraud<\/h2>\n
At law, fraud is often proved by what are known as \u201cbadges of fraud\u201d\u2014telltale signs that a fraud has taken place\u2014short of positive proof of the actual fraud, because fraudsters have a tendency of covering their tracks.<\/p>\n
Case in point: Harry Markopolos. At least 7 years before the lid was blown off the $65 billion Ponzi scheme run by Bernie Madoff, Harry Markopolos, a money fund manager, blew the whistle on Madoff\u2019s decades-long Ponzi scheme.

Markopolos\u00a0published a book<\/a>\u00a0titled \u201cNo One Would Listen,\u201d remarking, after exposure of Madoff\u2019s enormous Ponzi scheme, \u201cthe math was so compelling.\u201d<\/p>\n Consider now\u2014away from the mountains of direct evidence of voter fraud\u2014the \u201cmath\u201d involved in the 2020 election:<\/p>\n In sum: six swing states were won by Trump on Election Day, and all six shifted to Biden by virtue of early morning Nov. 4 spikes in mailed-in ballots overwhelmingly favoring Biden; but somehow Biden did not win elsewhere in the country; Trump won nearly all (18 of 19) of the historically accurate bellwether counties; Biden, campaigning from his basement, after obvious signs of cognitive decline and the hugely damaging Hunter Biden scandal breaking, running with a vice-presidential candidate who had to drop out of the race at 5 percent of the vote, somehow topped Obama, the first black U.S. president, by over 10 million votes, even though Trump won more of the non-white vote than any GOP candidate in the last 60 years.<\/p>\n As Markopolos said of Madoff\u2019s Ponzi scheme, the \u201cmath was so compelling\u201d but no one would listen. The same is true of the 2020 election.<\/p>\n Aside from these compelling badges of fraud, mountains of direct evidence of\u00a0widespread voter fraud<\/a>\u00a0have been uncovered:<\/p>\n On top of the badges of fraud, compelling math, and actual proof of voter fraud, powerful evidence has emerged that the Dominion vote-counting software, in use in 28 states, has been compromised:<\/p>\n No objective observer would contend that the election officials are anything but partisan political hacks.

While I don\u2019t agree with this approach, it\u2019s understandable given the separation of powers inherent to our constitutional republic. Many judges simply don\u2019t want to tell the executive branch of a state government how to run their elections even if they see compelling evidence of rampant fraud.<\/p>\n The Electors\u2019 Clause of the U.S. Constitution grants each state legislature the exclusive power to decide the \u201cmanner\u201d in which the state\u2019s presidential electors are chosen. That means the state legislatures have the constitutional power to select Trump-pledged electors if they believe a fraudulent vote was certified or to disavow the Biden-pledged electors certified by the state\u2019s governor.<\/p>\n What\u2019s less clear is whether the state lawmakers can do either at any time up until the Jan. 20 inauguration, or whether they are\u00a0foreclosed from doing so<\/a>\u00a0after the Electoral College is convened, which this year will be held on Dec. 14. The Electoral College date is set by Congressional statute, not by the Constitution, and to the extent that statute, as applied, constrains constitutional powers of the state lawmakers, it may be adjudged unconstitutional by the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n Still, in the absence of timely clarification from the Supreme Court, the state lawmakers may be persuaded that they lack a constitutional power they truly possess, or they just may be frustrated in exercising that power by Democratic governors refusing to call a special session of the state legislature.<\/p>\n While being careful never to say he will resist a peaceful transition of power, the president in a\u00a0pre-recorded speech<\/a>\u2014he dubbed the \u201cmost important\u201d he has ever made\u2014declared that our election system was under \u201ccoordinated assault and siege.\u201d<\/p>\n Later, the president\u00a0proposed<\/a>\u00a0\u201clandmark election reform\u201d and overhaul of election security systems, but that would only occur if and after Republicans won the Senate, and presupposes a Trump victory.<\/p>\n Speaking at his recent rally<\/a>\u00a0supporting the GOP candidates in the Georgia Senate run-off (businesswoman Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-Ga.) and former business executive Sen. David Perdue (R-Ga.)), Trump said, \u201cThese people want to go further than socialism, they want to go into a communistic form of government, and I have no doubt about it.\u201d The president warned \u201cas Chuck Schumer said rather infamously, \u2018First we take Georgia, then we take America.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n Although the Department of Justice (DOJ), through special counsel Robert Mueller, and the FBI, spent years and interviewed over 500 witnesses to investigate the phony Russia-Trump collusion hoax, Attorney General William Barr took a few weeks to go out of his way to state to the press that he had not found evidence of voter fraud on a scale that would overturn the result.<\/p>\n According to the president\u2019s lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, the FBI is \u201cmissing in action.\u201d Of course, it strains credulity that the DOJ could possibly have conducted any sort of real investigation into a national election involving 150 million voters in anywhere near the timeframe Barr took to make his comments.<\/p>\n In light of the profound evidence of fraud in Pennsylvania (whereby Trump\u2019s 800,000 vote Election Day lead was overcome), including the unlawful blocking of GOP poll watchers, one trucker\u2019s shocking testimony regarding a delivery of thousands of ballots from Bethpage, New York, to Pennsylvania, and the Pennsylvania Supreme Court\u2019s unconstitutional and hyper-partisan overriding of the Pennsylvania Legislature\u2019s 8 p.m. Election Day deadline for mailed ballots, 64 Pennsylvania state senators, representatives, and members-elect of the General Assembly, including Speaker of the House Bryan Cutler and majority leader Kerry Benninghoff,\u00a0issued a letter<\/a>\u00a0(pdf<\/a>) on Dec. 4 asking Pennsylvania\u2019s congressional delegation to object to the 20 Electoral College votes certified by Gov. Tom Wolf for Biden.<\/p>\n No objective person would say the mainstream media and social media, have been journalistically objective. Indeed, no objective person would deny they have been active co-conspirators in stealing the election.<\/p>\n Long before Election Day, Twitter and Facebook were aggressively suppressing factual articles adverse to Biden, including Twitter\u2019s having blocked the New York Post\u2019s breaking news story about the contents of the Hunter Biden laptop, and later having shut down the Post\u2019s Twitter account for weeks. The New York Post was founded in 1801 by Alexander Hamilton. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (R) railed against Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey.<\/p>\n The mainstream and social media also repeatedly suppressed news of Biden\u2019s mental acuity and frequent stunning gaffes.<\/p>\n Mainstream media voting polls suppressed Trump voters by reporting a Biden win was a foregone conclusion.<\/p>\n On Election Day, the mainstream media displayed obvious bias calling states for Biden prematurely and delaying interminably calling Trump\u2019s victories in Florida, Texas, Ohio, and South Carolina. Even former conservative cable news outlet Fox News shamefully called Arizona for Biden on Election Day, when no objective observer would have done so.<\/p>\n Almost all news outlets \u201ccalled\u201d the election weeks ago, and repeatedly refer to Biden as \u201cthe president-elect.\u201d Very few outlets\u2014The Epoch Times the most notable\u2014have refused to call the election while six swing states remain in dispute.<\/p>\n The actions of the media and social media are more than bias, they amount to the active and substantial assistance of a co-conspirator. Consider this recent gem from the\u00a0New York Times<\/a>\u00a0in a supposed hard news story, the clear object of which is to stop the lawmakers and the courts from considering the evidence of fraud:<\/p>\n \u201cThe final days of the Trump presidency have taken on the stormy elements of a drama more common to history or literature than a modern White House. His rage and detached-from-reality refusal to concede defeat evoke images of a besieged overlord in some distant land defiantly clinging to power rather than going into exile or an erratic English monarch imposing his version of reality on his cowed court.\u201d<\/p>\n Few objective voters could or would even try to make a case for Biden truly possessing the leadership abilities to serve as the leader of the free world.<\/p>\n Biden graduated at the very bottom of his law school class. He has held political office for 47 years with virtually no accomplishments to speak of. He was forced to withdraw from the 1987 presidential race after admitting to plagiarism, and lost to Obama in 2008.<\/p>\n Biden is on tape bragging about having successfully threatened the president of Ukraine into firing a prosecutor who was\u00a0investigating the Ukrainian company<\/a>\u00a0Burisma, which had employed his son Hunter, for over $50,000 a month, and Ukraine knuckled under, fired the prosecutor, and dropped the investigation.<\/p>\n Shortly before the election, the Hunter Biden laptop scandal broke, during which evidence emerged that Hunter had taken millions from the Chinese Communist Party, which emails allegedly show he committed to share with his father, the \u201cbig guy.\u201d<\/p>\n What Biden really offers, everyone knows, is a pliable empty vessel that the left can do with what they please. He serves as a figurehead and nothing more.<\/p>\n While this alone is not a reason to overturn the election, it draws a highlighter through the risk of civil war, because it makes Biden\u2019s fraudulent election part of a broader scheme\u2014i.e., an insurrection.<\/p>\n A\u00a0Rasmussen poll<\/a>\u00a0shows that 47 percent of U.S. voters believe \u201cDemocrats stole votes or destroyed pro-Trump ballots in several states to ensure that Biden would win.\u201d This is a staggering result. It\u2019s one thing for voters to say they have no confidence in the winner. It\u2019s another for them to say the election was stolen. And, I believe, like the \u201cshy Trump\u201d voter, the true percentage of voters who believe the election was stolen has to be much higher. Indeed it\u2019s hard to understand how any well-informed Democrat could come to any other conclusion.<\/p>\n President Trump has claimed he has been privately called by many foreign leaders who have expressed similar sentiments.<\/p>\n Australia\u2019s Sky News has repeatedly reported aggressively on the obvious fraud in the U.S. election.<\/p>\n The confluence of events now evident, it can be cogently argued, presents a compelling case for the president\u2019s invocation of the Insurrection Act.<\/p>\n On the one hand, there\u2019s a statistically impossible election outcome coupled with vast evidence (over 1,000 sworn affidavits) demonstrating specific voter fraud and vote-counting software and hardware\u2014designed for communists to permit voter fraud through voter-intention changing algorithms\u2014containing Chinese components and using foreign-based servers, connected to the internet.<\/p>\n And, on the other hand\u2014following a nearly four-year-long attempted non-violent coup (including the bogus Mueller investigation and failed impeachment attempt)\u2014there\u2019s a conspiracy unfolding in the days following Election Day of political hacks, corrupt and complicit news and social media outlets, and partisan or gun-shy courts, working together to bring about a massive, fraudulent post-Election Day \u201cblue-shift\u201d only where it mattered, and the conspirators then collaboratively \u201crunning out the clock\u201d without the truth about election fraud ever having been determined.<\/p>\n Add in to the equation an electorate at least half of which (likely far more) see the election as having been stolen, foreign leaders saying the same, and formerly mainstream Democrats threatening to pack the Court, end the filibuster, make D.C. and Puerto Rico into states, and finally to pack the electorate through amnesty for millions of illegal aliens, all for the purpose of achieving a one-party communist totalitarian state, and it\u2019s no longer a stretch to say that the country is facing a coordinated insurrection that presents an existential threat to the republic.<\/p>\n The outcomes are binary: Either some combination of the courts and the state legislatures will take steps that result in either a Trump win or a contingent election in the House, which Trump then wins, or the statistical anomalies and proof of voter fraud is never addressed because the conspirators run out the clock, and Biden wins.<\/p>\n Either outcome is fraught with danger. If Trump wins by either overturning election results in court, or through a contingent election following state lawmakers\u2019 sending dueling electors or simply disavowing their own election results, Democrats, including radical groups such as Antifa, could, and likely would, revolt openly and violently.<\/p>\n Conversely, if Biden successfully runs out the clock, and the fraudulent results are certified, without any real audits having taken place or the evidence addressed or explained, the silent majority is not likely to remain silent a moment longer. Trump supporters could take the streets, and violence doubtless would erupt.<\/p>\n Either way, massive property damage and deaths would ensue. The\u00a0CCP virus<\/a>\u00a0would likely spike further.<\/p>\nBadges of Fraud in the 2020 Election: The \u2018Math Is So Compelling\u2019<\/h3>\n
