| It's a Coup. Just Say It! |
| 2020-11-16 |
| [American Thinker] Political science types have a word for every happening. One is the Overton Window. Like lots of these terms, it is not too scientific, but it well describes things observed every day. For instance, the idea that an eight-year-old boy decides to be a girl, because he feels like it, and is then medicated with hormone therapy to look as close to a girl as science enables was once a preposterous idea. Then it was possible, then probable, and now, voilà! A boy is now a girl, and if you use the wrong pronoun, you lose your job! Meet the Overton Window: that period of time when something seemingly quite impossible becomes mainstream. This is a game two can play. Coup. Say it: "This is not just election fraud, it is a coup." Say it, and it will start to sink in. As it does, at least for you, your Overton Window opens up. The impossibility that the election of the president of the United States of America can be overthrown by preprogrammed, organized election fraud — that a likely landslide was turned into a loss — happened. You saw it. That window is about to open up for our nation. What's a coup feel like? We are all accustomed to seeing tanks around a white palace and palm trees. Lots of them. The streets are quiet and the means of communication controlled by the new junta types. There are corpulent generals with white uniforms and lots of medals. That seems to be our picture. This week may be the first time a sophisticated modern society had a coup. There, I said it again. Not so startling after you read it a couple of times. A modern-day coup, where Big Media, Big Tech, a political party, and likely the intelligence agencies gather to change vote counts, both electronically and physically, has much the same result without the tanks and fat generals in white uniforms. The first result is that everyone, or about everyone knows it was a coup. They don't use that word as it does have an edge to it. Some stay silent in collaboration. Some do not want to be singled out. Some protest. Many benefit. Most just acquiesce. |

| #11 It's been an ongoing coup for more than 4 years. Everything from the spying on Trump, faked Fisa warrants, the Flynn kangaroo trial, Mueller, contrived impeachment, media, big Tech and its censoring. |

| #9 "What did we do?" For starters we're been re-electing far too many incumbents. |

| #8 #5 Welcome to Kenya. "We are not in Kansas anymore, Dorothy. Over the rainbow, we are. Even AMLO, the Mexican president, is now showing more grace dignity and respect for democratic norms than our country's wicked witches, munchkins and humbug-wizards. Is it just our bad luck to get an entire class of grifters and shitheads? Or are we Americans to blame for this? How did we deserve this nightmare? What did we do? |

| #7 I didn't like 2020. But 2021 doesn't look any better. |

| #6 The military brass refusing to follow orders definitely are attempting a coup. |

| #4 Of course it's fraud. Just another in a series of absurd Big Lies foisted on the public by the Democrat-BigTech-NeverTrump Uniparty these last four years: Big Lie #1 - the Russia Bullshit: the man who pursued the most belligerently hostile policy toward Russia since Reagan is actually a Russian agent Big Lie #2 - rapist! rayciss!: Judge Kavanaugh is a gang rapist. Judge Amy Coney Barrett is a racist. The man who got the highest black vote if any Republican in 60 years hates black people. Big Lie #3 - the head of the Biden Slime & Crime Family is an honorable man. This is Goebbels territory. Worse though: even the accusations re the Reichstag fire perp had some truth to them. Our Democrat-BugTech-Uniparty's big lies are complete fabrications, concocted out of nothing. |

| #3 At the muster of Colonial forces: “Will you tarry now until the other enemy carries fire and sword to your very doors? No, it shall not be. . . . Almighty and gracious God! Thou hast been the refuge and strength of Thy people in all ages.” —— Rev. Samuel Doak, Sycamore Shoals Muster (September 1780). In the USA, there is no king of the mountain, but G_d, and we bow our knees to no one but Him. Globalist elites will again encounter the indomitable spirit of Americans. |

| #2 We may know we are right, but we are decent enough people that we want some pretty rocksolid proof to take such a drastic stand — especially when the MSM makes it seem like everybody else is clamoring for Beijing Biden to take over the reins of power. Science to the rescue. First, an illustration: Something’s clearly wrong with the COVID-19 epidemiological tracking: https://youtu.be/7uhAn19V1EY Data entry, or something more nefarious? The statistical analysis can’t provide that answer immediately; however, it’s clear smoke proving that there’s fire somewhere. The same statistical test can be applied to election results. Hooray for Bell shaped curves . . . Science is awesome. “Believe” in it or not — it works. It turns out that all data sets — even election returns that aren’t fraudulent — match a bell shaped curve. And a solid statistical forensics test can quickly examine such datasets. All such analyses done of “Trump lost the election” datasets are indicating massive FRAUD. So, why no great public outcry? Really, that’s the most telling, Telecoms have established a “must not be named” response to these FACTS. People have been deplatformed, just for naming the forensics test, the “_ _ _ f o r d ‘ s law” statistical forensics test. It’s one thing for the Telecoms ‘to pretend that “glitchy” algorithms are deplatforming real people, but AI has its limits. There also are consequences for real human beings improperly deplatforming other real people — especially when the DOJ Antitrust Division is already breathing down your neck. Let’s play and see how much human oversight is involved in this deplatforming effort: The missing 3 letters above are N E B, backwards — i.e., begins with “B”. Google sure is coughing up some pretty bizarre search results when you search for info on the “_ _ _ f o r d ‘ s law” statistical forensics test. The results have a slimy, pre-packaged feel to them. |

| #1 It’s a coup attempt, anyway. It remains to be seen, despite all claims to the contrary — including here that it’s all over and the country gone to Hell in a handbasket — whether it will succeed. From my perspective, it takes a lot more energy to surrender. So I shall not do so unless Gropey Joe is actually sworn in. And if he actually is sworn in, I will find other ways to not surrender, though none will involve wearing a pink uterus hat in public. |
