I was there. I was in Detroit at the TCF Center on election night for more than twenty-four hours straight. I witnessed firsthand the late-night delivery of ballots without any chain of custody. As a certified Microsoft Small Business Specialist, I witnessed firsthand evidence that the tabulators which reportedly counted 174,384 votes in a race decided by 154,188 were indeed connected to the internet. I was one of the numerous poll challengers barred from reentry to the Absentee Vote Counting Board as they spoiled and replicated military ballots without the requisite bipartisan oversight. I was there when they put pizza boxes over the windows to keep anyone from witnessing this process even from a distance. I was there when the Wayne County Board of Canvassers refused to certify the election. I testified before the State Board of Canvassers. I’ve read the media reports sharing the official narrative of what happened. They pushed propaganda not facts. They promoted how elections were supposed to work not how they did. I listened to reports of election officials asserting that the 2020 general election was the most secure election in history. If this was the most secure election in history, I shiver at the thought of what was happening in previous elections. --- The 2020 Coup by Patrick Colbeck https://www.amazon.com/2020-Coup-What-Happened-Can-ebook/dp/B0B7PBBRYK/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1653494005&sr=1-1 Wal-Mart vs The Morons 1 Americans spend $36,000,000 at Wal-Mart Every hour of every day. 2. This works out to $20,928 profit every minute! 3. Wal-Mart will sell more from January 1 to St. Patrick's Day (March 17th) than Target sells all year. 4. Wal-Mart is bigger than Home Depot + Kroger + Target +Sears + Costco + K-Mart combined. 5. Wal-Mart employs 1.6 million people, is the world's largest private employer, and most speak English. 6. Wal-Mart is the largest company in the history of the world. 7. Wal-Mart now sells more food than Kroger and Safeway combined, and keep in mind they did this in only fifteen years. 8. During this same period, 31 big supermarket chains sought bankruptcy. 9. Wal-Mart now sells more food than any other store in the world. 10. Wal-Mart has approx 3,900 stores in the USA of which 1,906 are Super Centers; this is 1,000 more than it had five years ago. 11. This year 7.2 billion different purchasing experiences will occur at Wal-Mart stores. (Earth's population is approximately 6.5 Billion.) 12. 90% of all Americans live within fifteen miles of a Wal-Mart. You may think that I am complaining, but I am really laying the ground work for suggesting that MAYBE we should hire the guys who run Wal-Mart to fix the U.S. economy. This should be read and understood by all Americans. Democrats, Republicans, EVERYONE!! To all 435 voting members of congress and the 100 members of the US Senate the majority of you are corrupt morons! Consider your record and reflect on your performance: a.. The U.S. Postal Service was established in 1775.You have had 246 years to get it right and it is broke. Stamps cost .58 cents and they are going up on July 10th to .60 cents b.. Social Security was established in 1935.You have had 86 years to get it right and it is broke. c.. Fannie Mae was established in 1938.You have had 71 years to get it right and it is broke. d.. The War on Poverty started in 1964.You have had 57 years to get it right; it never went anywhere and you stole from our Social Security Fund. $1 trillion of our money is confiscated each year and transferred to "the poor" and you want more! e.. Medicare and Medicaid were established in 1965.You have had 56 years to get it right and they are broke. f. Freddie Mac was established in 1970.You have had 51 years to get it right and it is broke. g.. The Department of Energy was created in 1977 to lessen our dependence on foreign oil. It has ballooned to 16,000 employees with a budget of $24 billion a year and we import more oil than ever before. You had 44 years to get it right and it is an abysmal failure. h. Currently, gasoline is at a record all time high and inflation is the highest it's been in 40 years! You have FAILED in every "government service" you have shoved down our throats while overspending our tax dollars. We have a President that had 36 years of experience as a U.S. senator and 8 years as Vice- President. A President that promised to "Build Back Better", our current President is the epitome of a corrupt career politician! We elected an immoral, unethical freeloader that never had a plan except to live on the public dole, a scoundrel who bends the way the political winds blow who can't even finish a sentence without losing his train of thought. Not that he ever had an original thought! AND YOU WANT AMERICANS TO BELIEVE YOU CAN BE TRUSTED WITH A GOVERNMENT-RUN HEALTH CARE SYSTEM?? Folks, keep this circulating. Maybe it will end up in the emails of some of our "duly elected' (they never read anything) but maybe their staff will clue them in on how Americans feel. If you don't think we need to drain the swamp then you just don't plain think! AND please try to understand what's wrong. We have lost our minds to corrupt career politicians and "Political Correctness"! Someone please tell me what the HELL's wrong with the people that run this country! We are begging Venezuela for oil. We're "broke" & can't help our own Seniors, Veterans, Orphans, Homeless etc.? In the last few months we have provided aid to Haiti , Chile, and Turkey. We are funding the world on climate change! And now NATO, Afghanistan, the Ukraine and Pakistan...previous home of bin Laden. Literally, BILLIONS of DOLLARS!!! Our retired seniors living on a 'fixed income' receive no aid as our southern borders are overrun by illegals AMERICA: a country where we have homeless without shelter, children going to bed hungry, elderly going without 'needed' meds, and mentally ill without treatment -etc., etc. We can't take proper care of our citizens. However, Illegals get free everything!!! They are put up into hotels fed meal health care and cash. Imagine if the *Federal GOVERNMENT* gave 'US' the same support they give to illegals and other countries. You have to ask: Is it possible that all those government run operations are not really designed to work efficiently? Maybe they were designed to provide jobs for citizens that then become dependent and loyal to their bosses. Maybe the reason the government expands things like a failing post office, or the social security administration, is to build back better bureaucracies. To effectively build voluntary, highly compensated, and "comfortable" brotherhoods of conforming and committed Democrats? In that sense, it makes all the sense in the world… (Author unknown) The PGA Tour is the modern day Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus. The Professional Golfers Association provides the Big Tents and the World's Greatest Golfers put on the show. They travel from town to town, and the media barkers bring in the audience. All in all, it creates billions of dollars in revenues that are fed into the communities while hundreds of vendors make bank and the players get a sizable chunk off the top. Don't get me wrong, like millions of fans, I am mesmerized by the skills the world's most talented players demonstrate. I am addicted to watching them perform magical tricks with a golf ball. In the past few decades, the PGA Tour has made hundreds of players multi-millionaires. So it is hard to understand why some of the world's richest golfers want to fix what isn't broken. Like the NFL, the PGA Tour is considered a massive international business success but there have been some indications all is not well under the Big Tent. Recently, retired golfing legend Greg Norman announced he had accepted the position of CEO of a new worldwide league of premier golfers called LIV Golf. His organization is being underwritten by Saudi Arabian Public Investment Funds, which is essentially an arm of the Royal Saudi Family regime. Which not too long ago was accused of approving a mafia-style execution of a renowned journalist who was exposing political corruption within the wealthy royal group of families. Historically Saudi leaders have routinely broken western style rules of civility. Women are treated like second-class citizens and used for forced labor, and the government routinely executes "criminals" in the public square. It has been reported that Dustin Johnson, Phil Mickelson, Bryson DeChambeau, and Sergio Garcia all received over $100M just to sign on. And that the tournament purses would average $25M and winners share usually exceed $3M. One critic, popular sports announcer Bob Costas, called LIV Golf purses "Blood Money". He said those that defect to Norman's circuit are greedy and reprehensible. The result is a major rift between players, sponsors and the public. The sport that had for years enjoyed freedom from controversy, is suddenly embroiled in it. The PGA immediately threatened any member who broke ranks with an indefinite suspension of playing privileges. They then embarked on a massive public relations campaign to spread defamatory claims that the LIV Golf enterprise was "Sportswashing'' by spreading around billions of Saudi cash to rebuild their image and deflect criticism. As for the 'Blood Money' charge? The PGA has been involved in China for many years, and never mentioned any concern for the Muslim Uighurs that are being imprisoned, tortured and "re-educated" by the Chinese Communist government. Where is Costa's outrage over the NBA's deep involvement with Chinese consumer products manufacturers that routinely abuse child labor? China is the NBA's largest consumer market. Norman rightly points out that Saudi money is invested across dozens of sports and industrial platforms. He asked FOX TV host Brian Kilmeade, "Why does the PGA Tour have 23 sponsors doing $45B in business with Saudi companies? Aramco (Saudi American Oil Company, the most valuable company in the world) is the largest sponsor of women's professional golf. The hypocrisy is out of this world!" At the British Open Tiger Woods was asked to comment: “I think that what they’ve done is they’ve turned their back on what has allowed them to get to this position." They were forced to "turn their back". They have all expressed a desire to coexist! Besides, whatever happened to competition, Tiger? You of all people understand that competition makes for better players and better products. Isn't competition a good thing, regardless of who "supports" it? Aren't we talking about a new circus putting up a different colored tent? Isn't it reasonable for independent contractors to be allowed to sell their service to whomever they choose? To accept payment even if it is out of proportion to their services provided? And who is to decide what price is "reasonable"? The idea that a different form of professional golf competition, a variation on the traditional "Three Ring Circus" is by definition a betrayal of all that has gone before seems a little narrow minded. Maybe the other players just want more time with their family, or a chance to get more international experience. Their product will be significantly different, but more importantly, it seems presumptuous to think those players are too stupid to have made their decision without any awareness of the implications. They are adults, and not just animals on parade. Remember, the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, after battling to survive at all, eventually joined forces to create the Greatest Show On Earth. If you were suddenly thrust into a position of total awareness, of a new sense of intimidation and fear, while being thrust into a leadership position, and you realized you were up against something much bigger and more dangerous than you ever imagined, what would you do? Maybe it is the leadership of a union, or a school district, or a social group, or perhaps it was even bigger like the chief executive of a major corporation, or what if you just got elected to be the President of the United States of America? Despite the fact that you had big plans, you were energized and felt like you had the backing of the people, you had no choice but to face the facts, and the truth that the odds were stacked against your success. You suddenly realized you had no realistic chance to accomplish your goals. You are confronted with the reality that your opportunity to lead is an illusion, if you decide to press ahead with your agenda.That the position you hold is actually more ceremonial than functional. That there are a series of other positions of power that can outweigh any effort you may make to effect change. So you take a step back, and ask yourself a series of questions… What happened? What could put our mothership in such a position? How did the hull collect so many barnacles? Who dropped the ball and stopped taking preventative measures to keep the ship-of-state running properly? Is it knowable? Will it help to try to figure out who the bad guys are or is it more important, at this stage, to just get to work cleaning things up? What if you discover there is a fire in the hole? And the mothership is literally sinking? When firefighters get to the scene of a raging fire, does it really matter at that moment how the fire started? Actually, it is important, because If it is a broken gas pipe that is feeding the fire, it is critical to know because all the water in the world isn't going to help. You have to cut off the fuel first. You need to stop the spread, but most importantly, you need to identify the source, find the control valve upline, and shut it down. In terms of running the operation, that means you must rally support from the team, or all will be lost. When you are given the job to be the leader, to take control of an operation that needs some help, it means you have to act like those firemen coming to the scene of a fire. That is what you were appointed to do: Figure out what is wrong, what is right, where the problems are, what will promote the good and shut off the bad, and take action! What if you are suddenly confronted with information that the ship is riddled with leaky gas pipes, holes in the hull, and that some of the crew has actively been hiding that information for reasons that are still not clear? You have inherited a sinking ship, a dysfunctional organization, that is actively working at cross purposes, and that you are seriously underhanded and improperly equipped to fight the raging fire? Then what? So you try to put your preconceptions and illusions aside for a moment, and come to the conclusion that it will take an enormous amount of discipline, of restraint and patience, to put aside your ego, your family and your lifestyle, to take on this assignment. The first question you have to answer is is it worth it? Can you be successful? What are the implications if you refuse to try? Conversely, is walking away even an option? This is America! Who could possibly turn their backs on their homeland? If it will take months, years, maybe even a decade to evolve, but if you really want to make a difference, and if you really want to affect change, to fix many of the problems that are starting to accumulate like barnacles on the hull of an old ship, you realize at the very moment, you are going to have to take a radically different approach. |
