Big Picture, 2022 Midterm Elections Highlight the Distinct Difference Between Ballots and Votes - The Last Refuge

"As the political discussion centers on the 2022 wins and losses from the midterm election, one thing that stands out in similarity to the 2020 general election is the difference between ballots and votes. 

It appears in some states this is the ‘new normal.’

• Where votes were the focus, the Biden administration suffered losses. 
• Where ballots were the focus, the Biden administration won.

Perhaps the two states most reflective of ‘ballots’ being more important than ‘votes’ are Michigan and Pennsylvania...
Whitmer and Fetterman were not campaigning for votes, that is old school. 

Instead, the machinery behind both candidates focused on the modern path. 

The Democrat machines in both states focused on ballot collection and ignored the irrelevant votes as cast...

• The effort to attain votes for candidates is less important than the strategy of collecting ballots.
• It should be emphasized; these are two distinctly different election systems...

FLASHBACK: Here are 35 times the MSM got away with spreading 'sinister misinformation' - TheBlaze

FLASHBACK: Here are 35 times the MSM got away with spreading 'sinister misinformation' - TheBlaze: 

Then, over the weekend, the New York Times deemed it "misinformation" to even question anything about the violent attack on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband and accused 21 right-wingers — including Glenn Beck — of circulating "vicious" and "sinister" falsehoods. This is the same New York Times that has published a long list of stories that later turned out to be completely false in just the last few years.

So on the radio program Monday, Glenn listed at least 35 times the media got it all wrong and asked, "Now, who's the threat to our Democracy again?"

UChicago offers ‘problem of whiteness’ course

• The class is offered through the Critical Race and Ethnic Studies Department and has attracted media attention.
• “This seminar examines the problem of whiteness through an anthropological lens, drawing from classic and contemporary works of critical race theory,” according to the course description...
• “Critical race theorists have shown that whiteness has long functioned as an ‘unmarked’ racial category, saturating a default surround against which non-white or ‘not quite’ others appear as aberrant,” according to the course description...

“Everything’s going to be O.K. Hold on, this just in—no, it’s not.”

 

California doctors sue Gov. Newsom over 'misinformation' law that would discipline physicians who provide COVID advice contrary to 'contemporary scientific consensus' - TheBlaze

California doctors sue Gov. Newsom over 'misinformation' law that would discipline physicians who provide COVID advice contrary to 'contemporary scientific consensus' - TheBlaze: 

A group of five licensed physicians filed a lawsuit on Wednesday against Governor Gavin Newsom (D) and the Medical Board of California regarding a law they claimed would violate their First Amendment rights and constitutional right to due process. Newsom signed the law in September, and it is set to take effect in January. It would allow the Medical Board of California and the Osteopathic Medical Board of California to take disciplinary action against physicians who provide patients with "misinformation" about COVID-19.

WHO, YouTube and funding

"It was expected that Newspeak would have finally superseded Oldspeak (or Standard English, as we should call it) by about the year 2050.

The purpose of Newspeak was not only to provide a medium of expression for the world-view and mental habits proper to the devotees of Ingsoc, but to make all other modes of thought impossible.

The C vocabulary was supplementary to the others and consisted entirely of scientific and technical terms. These resembled the scientific terms in use today, and were constructed from the same roots, but the usual care was taken to define them rigidly and strip them of undesirable meanings.

War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength."

Why Climate Change is a Fraud | Armstrong Economics

Why Climate Change is a Fraud | Armstrong Economics -  by Martin Armstrong

"This is one of the oldest methods to brainwash a population known to ancient history. 

• The high priests had discovered the cycle of the heavens. They would pretend to turn the sun dark, for they managed to calculate the cycles when an eclipse would take place. 
• They would call the people together and tell them what they will do, and they watched the moon block out the sun and believed that the high priest could control the heavens. 

There is a cycle to everything. 

The climate ALWAYS changes, and there are warming periods and cooling periods...

Can't promise that, man.

• At the same time there are more and more studies and revelations about the dangers of the mRNA injections—not just immediate dangers, but dangers that extend for a long time. 
• Recently I referenced a Swiss study that concluded that all recipients of these injections suffer heart damage: Multiple Studies On Heart Damage From mRNA Shots...
