Honor is reserved for the time kings rode into battle with their army. It is an concept that doesn't exist in the modern world where a few men and women in a closed office can determine how people should live their lives with zero accountability or consequences. The only people you can rely on are yourself and your closest relatives.
This should be a reminder to anyone how much you are worth serving for these spineless politicians. Regular people are tax livestock and cannon fodder for them, to be put out of the way if you become a nuisance.
The best that could happen now is for southern states to secede and all productive members of society to come together from this mess. Let them sell themselves out to Chinese style consumerism and authoritarianism, maybe after a while they would need to build a wall to keep people in just like what happened with east-Germany. It is now or never because they are going to continue to harvest your tax money to bribe people to cross the border and vote for them. It is the Achilles heel of a democracy.
You know what it means when you cannot safely and peacefully enter a building built by your ancestors, paid by your tax money, fought for by your people and filled with people that are supposed to serve you? It means you are no longer a citizen but a feudal serf. They are the feudal lords that enjoy the privileges of your labour and live apart from you, while you are being allowed to live on their land and being allowed to serve them is a privilege in their eyes.
If you think he betrayed, then you really put too much faith into an establishment republican. He is always going to choose for what offers short-term stability and allows them and their friends to remain in power as long as possible. These are the same establishment republicans that vote through unconstitutional laws.
Supreme court denying to hear a presidential case is a more serious betrayal in my regard. As Pence is allowed to have his own views, no matter how contrary to what he promised, but the supreme court is literally denying to do their job with an excuse because they do not want to face a difficult decision and face uncomfortable truths.
The people paying the higher ups are getting bribes from China, the tech sector is paid by China and manufacturing has been transitioned to China. They make up the rules and you can see most western countries slowly transitioning to the Chinese model through corruption, incentives and greed.
Police state is imminent and already there in a lot of places. Just look at the bad faith actors who were first pushing to defund police when they were supporting violent rioting to destabilize the US, who are now trying to appease to the police to enact political persecution on their behalf.
I have a PhD in statistics, to bring this into a simple perspective: a binary process like voting between two choices are typically modelled by a binomial model where one choice is '0' and the other choice is '1'.
Even if you choose Biden getting p=0.999 (99.9%) of the votes, on average he would get 891 votes. The estimated value of Binomial(900,0.999) is n*p = 891.
If you want to estimate the odds of Biden getting all votes, even assuming something ridiculous like 99.9% support, run a monte carlo simulation on the Binomial simulations. Then count the occurences of the result summing to 900.
Here are the probabilities of Biden getting 900 votes for each value p (probability of a vote going for Biden)
theta = 0.5 probability = 0
theta = 0.6 probability = 0
theta = 0.7 probability = 0
theta = 0.8 probability = 0
theta = 0.9 probability = 0
theta = 0.95 probability = 0
theta = 0.975 probability = 0
theta = 0.99 probability = 0.000114
theta = 0.995 probability = 0.011067
theta = 0.996 probability = 0.027168
theta = 0.997 probability = 0.067105
theta = 0.998 probability = 0.164542
theta = 0.999 probability = 0.407043
Even with 97.5% of the votes, probability is rounded to zero using 6 digits of significance. With 99% support probability of this happening is 0.01%. Statistical significance is finally broken at 99.7% support (giving a 6.7% probability of occurrence) and with 99.9% of the vote in 40.7% of the cases would this happen. This is statistically impossible.
Feel free to run the rather simple simulation yourself with this R script.
m = 10^6
n = 900
t = c(0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 0.95, 0.975, 0.99, 0.995, 0.996, 0.997, 0.998, 0.999)
for(p in t)
{
mu = sum(rbinom(m,n,p) == 900)/m
cat("theta = ", p, "\t probability = ", mu, "\n")
}
Hope the Trump lawyers will consult statisticians in this, a lot of what has happened is statistically not just improbable but virtually impossible.
Rudy and his team are doing a great job documenting all the various pieces of evidence, but you shouldn't let your guard down. The justice system, especially towards the middle to higher courts, has an incredible amount of corruption because a lot of the judges have been political appointments. Cases are thrown out left and right without even having looked at them because pre-biased judges.
Relying on court alone is not going to be enough. I hope Rudy is going to seek to get into contact with the scientific community, there are countless of academics in mathematics and computer science looking to publish their findings but afraid or even thwarted in doing so by their peers and publishers. You would be surprised by how many academics in STEM are right wing or libertarian but are terrorized by constant threats into silence. The court can deny objective truth, but scientific papers stay in the realm of the public forever and will always remind people how corruptible electronic voting is.
When they are in power it's all about following the rules and getting together, when they do not get their way they will loot and destroy until their demands are met. Sounds a lot like being taken hostage to me, they used to call this domestic terrorism.
This isn't just about the election, this shows the collusion between media and (foreign) investors. There's many billionaires who use their money to influence media, which then makes them incredible amount of money by letting them manipulate stock for them by using their broadcasting power. That is textbook crony capitalism, which undermines the free market.
They used an opportunity when they saw it, their false intentions can be clearly seen at their lack of critique for the riots and now the early celebrations. No one with virtuous intentions will claim that Coronavirus isn't a concern, but in actuality it statistically isn't more dangerous than many other very serious influenza strains and is incomparable to the H1N1 strain of the spanish flu for which temporary lockdown mandates were actually a much needed response considering the state of medicine at the time.
It's never been about the safety of the people, if you think most politicians care about the health of the people they would instantly seek to remedy crime and drug problems in the inner cities. If they were worried about needless deaths then the deaths caused by alcohol and tobacco abuse would keep them up at night, but it doesn't.
For China it has never been about anything but to give them an economic edge when they saw they had a serious problem incoming themselves - and the western hemisphere as it is will never hold them accountable for banning internal flights while continuing to allow international flights while also withholding information. They were able to contain SARS, but they let this intentionally spread because they fucked up.
COVID was the perfect storm for them to pull this off, never pass up a good opportunity to get your fortune from other's misfortune as they say.
I do hope this won't be a simple recount but will be a full audit. By this time, even if data was manipulated, the ballots could have easily been produced. Now we need to know if the ballots are genuine and whether the ballot counts can be traced back to the registered envelopes.
The uncontested BLM riots have made it clear urban centers are sliding into 3rd world tier in the US. Not a single of the instigators of those racial riots costing billions and dozens of lives have been called to disavow or take accountability for what they have started.
More white deaths, these people are genuinely driven by hatred and you really need to start to understand that. There's been virologists at Harvard actively proposing that healthcare workers and old people shouldn't get vaccines first because most are white. Here is what they think about people that founded the country:
“I’ve told them, ‘You know what? I’m sorry, but there are others that I need to get this vaccine to first so that when you guys get vaccinated, the world you come back into is ready to receive you.’”
Harald Schmidt, an expert in ethics and health policy at the University of Pennsylvania, said that it is reasonable to put younger people ahead of older adults, given their risks and that they are disproportionately minorities.
“Older populations are whiter, ” Schmidt said. “Society is structured in a way that enables them to live longer. Instead of giving additional health benefits to those who already had more of them, we can start to level the playing field a bit.”
