How 2020 Election Was Stolen

How did the Democrats steal the 2020 presidential election and saddle us with the lame crook Joe Biden as President?

President Donald Trump offered a few initial clues earlier this month when he signed an executive order rescinding the security clearances of Chris Krebs,  his associates and anyone working at SentinelOne. Krebs is the former head of CISA, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. It was Krebs who claimed the 2020 presidential election was the most secure election ever.

That, of course, was a flat-out lie. Trump himself has long claimed the 2020 election was stolen, Now, we know how that allegedly happened. The theory: The Democrats under Barack Obama, joined by varied foreign actors, worked diligently to rig the election and steal votes away from President Trump. This involved an array of techniques, including rigged voting machines, fraudulent mail-in ballots, and other phony votes, including some votes assigned to the dead.

Here, the Next News Network lays out the scenario.  Their news host, Gary Franchi, claims China and Iran were the chief foreign players but also the nation of Italy, whose former prime minister Matteo Renzi was a close confidant of Barack Obama. Obama, it is said, kept $400 of the $1.7 billion payoff he had made to Iran. Obama used this money to underwrite the election fraud and theft.

The detailed scheme outlined here allegedly involved the Italian defense contractor Leonardo, whose computer services were used in altering vote results. This theory has been spelled out before, and vehemently denied not only by the players, but also by the fake news.

We’ll need to wait and see if the FBI or U.S. Department of Justice issues indictments against the firms identified here,  but already we’re seeing some signs underscoring these theories. Not only has Krebs been denied his security clearance, but Iran was attacked and Italy was among the first NATO nations to lose its American troops. This bears close watching.

It’s Not Too Late, Britannia

In the last several years, the fighting strength of Britain’s Royal Navy has not just eroded — it has collapsed.

What was once a thousand-ship fleet and the envy of the world can now barely put a handful of vessels to sea. And one will never understand the soul of Great Britain without fully grasping the mythological power of the Royal Navy in that island nation’s national consciousness.

Here’s a new edition of The Right Angle, with Bill Whittle moderating Steve Gren and Scott Ott in a discussion of Britain’s now rusty legacy.

U.S. Troops Leaving Italy Soon

President Donald Trump is preparing to pull 13,000 American troops out of Italy. This comes after he had already closed down the two remaining American bases in Spain.

So it appears Trump has, in effect, begun to withdraw American support for NATO. Italy and Spain will be the first closures, but others likely will follow over the months, or years, ahead.

Spain, in particular, outraged Trump by refusing to allow American planes and ships headed toward Iran to transit through Spanish territory. Spain’s Socialists made a lot of political hay over the issue, but now, they are sucking sand and having to underwrite the full costs of their military bases. Here’s more  from Trish Regan.

When Do You Play Trump Card?

What is the Trump Card? And when do you play it?

Some analysts are now asserting the Trump card involves a Naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. No ships going into the strait means Iranian exports are cut off. In essence, the blockade halts Iranian trade of its oil. How long can Iran hold out if it’s not earning export sales? Can it survive as a nation?

Similarly, a blockade will extend pressures on the United States as well. Oil prices will remain high indefinitely. The grumbling will get fierce.

Is Trump fighting the Iranians at this point, or the City of London? The Europeans most certainly did not help us with containing Iran. is it because they have skin in the game? Pray. Here’s more from And We Know.

Spain First: Bye, Bye NATO?

President Donald Trump is now weighing his options as far as possible closings or downsizings of American military bases across Europe. Where will he pull troops from first?

It’s looking like that might happen in Spain, after the socialist government there ridiculed Trump’s requests for assistance in the Iran War and closed off Spanish airspace to American flights.

The U.S. formerly operated full-scale bases in Spain, but now does not. However, there are Naval and Air Force troops  stationed at two bases under Spanish control — the Rota Naval Base outside Cadiz and the Moron Air Force Base near Seville. Don’t be surprised if those arrangements come to an end. Here’s more from Trish Regan.

 

Major Shift In Global Power

President of the LaRouche Organization and Editor of the Executive Intelligence Newsletter, Harley Schlanger, rejoins the program to break down the escalating tensions around the world. We discuss the war in the Middle East and what it signals about the shifting balance of global power—and how these shifts are driving behavior that is anything but typical on the world stage.

We also discuss my landmark lawsuit and why Harley believes it carries implications far beyond my personal situation, touching on issues that affect the broader public and the future of independent voices worldwide. Here’s more from Sarah Westall on Business Game Changers.

Stay With Me Deplorables

The [Deep State] is now panicking. President Donald Trump is dismantling their system worldwide. He is removing the terrorist organizations across the globe.

The mission is clear. Prepare the military. Wake the people up to the [Deep State] agenda. Expose the system. Show the people how they take the money and use it to prop up their system. Dismantle the [Deep State] system worldwide. Take control of the House and Senate.

Once Trump has this leverage, accountability and justice. People are going to love how this movie ends. Here’s more from the X22 Report.

NATO: Die On The Vine!

Here’s a brutal reality check for the NATO free-loaders!

Germany’s invasion of France wasn’t our war, yet Franklin D. Roosevelt still sent military equipment, and later soldiers, to retake Western Europe. However, Europe’s cold shoulder may not be out of spite, but an inability to help at all, explains Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.”

“They have dreamed of utopia and a good life, and the result is that their fertility rate is 1.3. They are shrinking. They are aging. They’re not competitive. So they don’t have the manpower, even though they have a 450 million-person population. Europe is larger than us by 100 million. “

And even though they have a $22 trillion GDP, which is the third-largest, apparently they don’t want to invest that in their own defense, or they haven’t so far. They don’t want us to use it when we need it.”

 

They Gutted Our Industries

One year after Liberation Day, the results are in — and they’re exactly what President Donald Trump promised. Susan Kokinda breaks down the blowout March jobs report (178,000 new jobs vs. 60,000 expected), the 55% drop in the trade deficit, and the hard manufacturing data showing American industry is expanding for the first time in decades, proving that Trump’s break from the British free trade system is working.

She then turns to the strategic front, where neocon architect Robert Kagan inadvertently confessed in The Atlantic that eighty years of American wars in the Middle East were never about our security — they were about enforcing the “liberal world order” — and where Trump’s questioning of NATO membership is cracking the imperial architecture wide open.

From China’s view of Trump as the “least hawkish person in Washington” to Putin’s economic diplomacy with Egypt, a new world of sovereign nations making sovereign deals is emerging in real time. What the establishment calls “going rogue,” Kokinda argues, is simply what independence looks like. With midterms less than nine months away, the fight to secure it is just beginning.

What Now, NATO?

After 77 years, the greatest alliance in human history is definitely showing its age.

Can a rudderless and increasingly anti-Western Europe be counted on any longer to provide the money and effort needed to save itself? Do we need to have a “tough-love moment” with our old friends from NATO?

Here’s a new version of The Right Angle, moderated by Steve Green and joined by Scott Ott and Bill Whittle.
