PAUL PELOSI ATTACK NOT WHAT IT SEEMS

The wealthy husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) underwent head surgery Friday for
a damaged skull after being hit multiple times with a hammer by David DePape, a drug addicted,
homeless, left-wing “friend” of Paul Pelosi, at their home in San Francisco. That’s about all we
know about the official version of events that is not contradicted by other evidence,
circumstances and facts. Perhaps the biggest claim which is at odds with reliable information is
that DePape was a deranged right-wing fanatic. In fact, he is well known in his Berkeley
neighborhood as a gay, BLM supporter that fit in well with the ultra-liberal community around
him. I don’t think these inconsistencies means these events are part of some intentional “October
surprise” to influence the mid-term election next week. I think it is just the latest example of a
massive and blatant coverup by the mainstream media to hide a potentially embarrassing liaison
the 82 year-old Paul Pelosi may have been having at his house with DePape, who is known for
his loose morals and dependency on hallucinogenic drugs. Like Hunter Biden, the Deep State
seems to have its hands full with Paul Pelosi as the PTB fulfill their secret promises of immunity
to major conspirators and co-conspirators in their dark agenda. A few months back Paul Pelosi
was arrested following a dangerous DUI incident but was let off the hook by the DA’s office
until it created an uproar, and forced the prosecution to “investigate further.” This latest event is
now being spun by the media into a PR blitz on Nancy Pelosi’s behalf to stop any criticism
against her by members of the GOP or campaign ads targeting her and her leadership in the
democrats’ increasingly radical agenda. The facts, as far as we can see, paint a very different
picture of what really happened.

When trying to unravel a media coverup such as this, it is important to capture the initial local
television news reports before Deep State handlers have had a chance to spin the story and
change the facts. This was crucial in the Las Vegas shooting where initial reports documented
multiple shootings at various casinos on the strip in Las Vegas, which defied the mainstream
narrative blaming it all on Stephen Paddock, the lone shooter using a bump stock weapon from
the Mandalay Bay hotel. All the local reports of multiple casino shootings were shut down by the
news media and disappeared the next day.

The same is happening in this case. Initial police reports to local news outlets were based on two
things: 1) a 911 call to police by Paul Pelosi and 2), early statements by police officers to local
news agents after they responded to the dispatcher alert. Both have confusing facts and
contradictions but include crucial true details that the police later tried to deny and retract.

The SF Police won’t release the actual recording of the 911 call, probably because it is even more
telling than the recording of the dispatcher’s call to responding units:

RP (reporting person [Paul Pelosi]) stated that there was a male in the home and that he
was going to wait for his wife. RP stated that he doesn’t know who the male is but he advised
that his name is David and that he is a friend.”

Even though we don’t have the recording of what Pelosi actually said, it seems clear that he is
trying to be careful not to reveal the circumstances that led to the call, presumably from behind
the closed door of his bathroom, but it appears he is making up the story about David “waiting
for his wife,” and there are obvious contradictions about him not knowing the intruder but then
calls him by name and says he is a “friend.”

First off, why would David maintain that he was waiting for Nancy if Paul Pelosi told him she
was out of town in DC and wouldn’t be coming home for at least a week? Why wouldn’t Pelosi
have told him the truth to defuse the situation if this excuse was real. Because it wasn’t the real
reason. The police will later try and make something out of this “waiting for Nancy” in collusion
with Paul Pelosi to create a bizarre set of “facts” to shield Pelosi from embarrassment.

Second, why would Paul have first tried to tell dispatch he didn’t know him, when he knew his
name and later told the dispatcher that he was a “friend.” I believe that was because DePape was
in the house by Pelosi’s invitation and was taking his usual hallucinatory drug prior to engaging
in some form of homosexual act. As often happens in the use of hallucinatory drugs people do
weird and violent things. Perhaps that’s what began to happen and why Pelosi went to the
bathroom to reluctantly make the 911 call. He didn’t actually request police come, knowing that
it would lead to a lot of embarrassing questions.

But if DePape was an intruder, breaking into the home through a glass french door, why would
Pelosi come out of the bathroom to have further dealings with DePape? That wouldn’t happen if
this was an unknown intruder threatening him. For further answers, we need to hear what police
told local reports what happened when they knocked on the front door of the Pelosi home in
response to the dispatcher’s call.

According to what police told Politico, an “unknown person” answered the door. That means we
now have 3 people in the house, not just two. Police have not publicly acknowledged who this
other person was. Local KTVU reporter Evan Sernoffsky stated that police told him that Depape
and Pelosi were both in their underwear when police arrived.

Police, seeing both men struggling over the hammer, demand to know “what’s going on.”
DePape responds, “Everything is good.” Police commanded him to drop the hammer, but he
refused and hit Pelosi on the head at least once before Police tackled him to the ground.

Responding “Everything is good” to police when fighting over a dangerous tool sounds like
someone who is high on drugs rather than a intruder intent on violence. And, of course, the key
to any notion of moral impropriety here is that fact that the supposed attacker is in his underwear.
Have you ever heard of an intruder stripping down to his underwear in order to do a kidnapping,
as the media will later claim?

Naturally, the key report about the two men in their underwear had to disappear, and so the local
KTVU reporter got a call from “other sources” who told him DePape was NOT dressed only in
his underwear. This then is a direct contradiction from what he was told before by police.
Reporters don’t make up dramatic and rare facts like that. They always call police to get the
initial story they report on and that’s what police told him.

Reporter Sernoffsky doesn’t say who the “other sources” were who tried to kill the underwear
part of the story, but they presumably had to be higher up in the police or District Attorney chain
of command to countermand what a lower officer had initially reported. The only reason he
wouldn’t name his law enforcement source is if they told him not to—not wanting to go on
record as putting out a lie to debunk the truth. As we’ll see this is only the beginning of what
looks like major police or District Attorney involvement in this coverup to protect Nancy
Pelosi’s position.

Debunking the Intruder Claim

Under normal circumstances, there is no way an intruder is going to get into Pelosi’s house. She
is under Capitol Police protection when she is there and the Capitol Police make sure several
officers are there to protect her. They also monitor cameras inside and out of the home when she
is there. Capitol Police say “no one was monitoring” the cameras during the Paul Pelosi incident.
When she is not there, there are always law enforcement posted on the perimeter so no one gets
inside undetected or without being confronted.

In Tucker Carlson’s evening monologue about this bizarre case, he cites a legal firm who tried to
serve Paul Pelosi with a subpoena at all of their various known residences and told how they
were always met outside by law enforcement, even when Pelosi wasn’t there. There was no way
to get to any of the Pelosi’s homes without confronting armed officers. The house is also covered
by multiple high resolution surveillance cameras, inside and out.

So, this brings up the question: How did DePape get past the law enforcement guarding the
house that night? That could only happen if Paul Pelosi had told them to go home, presumably
in anticipation of evading police documenting his inviting an unsavory, homeless, left-wing,
nudist, drug-addict coming to his home.

Tucker Carlson documented DePape’s real background in his monologue that backs up the
foregoing adjectives and debunks the media claim that DePape was a “Right-wing” Qanon,
election-denying, Trump-backing extremist:

During a police press conference last week, a reporter was caught on hot mike being told by
his boss not to discuss DePape in great detail.

“Hey, so is this the dude that is a former nudist dude?” “Yeah, okay, is it OK to say any of
that stuff?” “Nope?” [Hear the actual conversation here on Twitter]

So, we are left with a non-mainstream reporter to find out DePape’s background. Michael
Shellenberger went to DePape’s residence in Berkeley. He’s living in an old school bus with
other pot smoking weirdos, with a Gay pride banner out front and a Berkley Stands Against
Hate sign out back. Behind the bus is a BLM banner. Shellenberger also found out that he is
well known in the entire bay area as a hallucinogenic drug user and a semi-professional
nudist.

Did he have a prior criminal history? The police have refused to tell Fox News or anyone else
when asked. But Dean Chen on Facebook says Depape has been arrested for being a male
prostitute. He once thought he was Jesus for a year, and has been homeless continually.

You can easily see why Pelosi wouldn’t have wanted police guards to scrutinize why this guy
was coming to see Paul Pelosi at 2 AM in the morning. The media claims DePape broke in
through a glass door in the home, but pictures of the scene clearly show much of the broken glass
on the outside of the home. Intruders breaking windows cause the glass to fall inward away from
the hammer blows. This glass indicates impact from the inside, and the damaged opening also
doesn’t look big enough for a larger person to come through.

Carlson also debunks the manufactured evidence the media put out to back up DePape’s claimed
right-wing tendencies (some paraphrasing):

Cable News (CNN, MSNBC etc) are all claiming this is a right wing fanatic saying, “Trump
needs to take responsibility for this.” Miki Brezinski said, “Years of Republican propaganda
and trump fueled fascism led 42 year old David Depape to break into Nancy Pelosi’s SF
home…”

The Washington Post accused Right wing Republicans of inciting violence against the Pelosi
family, (using this drug crazed, BLM loving, illegal alien homeless, drug addicted guy).
MSNBC said “The Far Right demonized Pelosi that led to the Attack!”

On what grounds, other than political desperation are the saying this? Someone created a
couple of websites for Depape with “right wing content.” One of these sites called Friendly
Friend.com

Strangely, the web address was registered back in September, but there’s content on the site
backdated to August. And internet archives say there was no activity at all on this site until
Oct 28th, the day of Depape’s attack on Pelosi. On the 28th post appeared about UFOs and
Peter Navarro.

The Gateway Pundit has a more detail article on both websites claiming to belong to DePape
showing his right-wing positions. But none of this comports with his real background which is
Leftist. He was even a member of the Green Party.

This creation and manipulation of both websites claimed to be created by DePape indicates Deep
State involvement and planning BEFORE the episode, ready to spring to life the moment they
want to depict DePape as a Right-wing fanatic. He even posted long rants about religion, saying
“Jesus is the antichrist,” which no conservative Christian would believe. Both websites were
taken down on the day the crisis over the websites erupted, to preclude any more forensic
analysis.

I don’t think it was planned directly, or that DePape was necessarily provoked into attacking
Pelosi. I believe this was some kind of consensual illicit relationship. But the Deep State surveils
all co-conspirators (like the Pelosis) constantly and knows their sexual dalliances and
weaknesses. If Paul Pelosi was seeing DePape regularly it wouldn’t surprise me that the Deep
State would prepare in advance to falsify DePape’s background in anticipation of something
going wrong as was likely with someone on hallucinogenic drugs. Tucker continues:

All the journalists got the same memo and are running with the story, that Republicans are
attacking Pelosi and that should now be banned prior to the midterms. The NY Times wrote
that in 2022 the GOP spent $40M on ads vilifying Pelosi, and on Friday, her husband is
attacked with a hammer. Message: if you are criticizing Pelosi, you are endangering her
family.

How can we know for sure what really happened? As you can see, I’m having to piece
together bits and pieces to draw logical conclusions. That wouldn’t be necessary unless the police
are hiding the real facts. The fact that they are hiding so much indicates a real coverup is going
on.

For example, the police officers who responded to Pelosi’s 911 call were all wearing body
cameras. That camera footage would tell us exactly what they were seeing. Police agencies use
these cameras specifically to release to the public when there’s a question about the accuracy of
police reports. Why not now? There are enough contradictory police statements to warrant it. SF
Police are refusing to release the body cams, and the woke woman District Attorney is
confirming that they won’t be released. Tucker said it bluntly,

“If you want people to fall headlong into crazy conspiracy theories, then keeping lying and
hiding things from the public.” Fox News filed a records request with the police to get the
body cam and the response was “no chance.”

There is also the surveillance camera footage both inside and outside the home. But Paul Pelosi
is refusing to release any of that footage to police. Dean Chen in the above Facebook post says
authorities are claiming they all malfunctions—just like what was claimed when Epstein died in
his cell. Why? Because it would probably show DePape entering in the front door by Pelosi or by
that unknown third person in the house. Interior footage would document exactly what happened,
including whether DePape was viewed as an intruder or a welcome guest. Obviously Pelosi and
the SF authorities doesn’t want the world to see those tapes.

The Growing Mainstream Claims

But this week, an entirely new and enhanced version of the disinformation (hinted at in the initial
reports) has come out in the charging documents, as reported by MSN.com.

The man accused of brutally attacking the husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.,
told police officers at the scene that he was on “a suicide mission” and had additional
targets, according to court documents filed Tuesday.

The new details came shortly after California prosecutors charged David DePape, 42, with
attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon, elder abuse, residential burglary, false
imprisonment and threatening a public official in connection with Friday’s attack on Paul
Pelosi.

DePape, who appeared in state court Tuesday, pleaded not guilty to all charges. After
entering his plea, prosecutors filed a detention memo revealing comments DePape allegedly
made to authorities and medics on Friday.

“I’m sick of the insane f—— level of lies coming out of Washington, D.C. I came here to
have a little chat with his wife,” DePape said he told Paul Pelosi, according to the filing. “I
didn’t really want to hurt him, but you know this was a suicide mission. I’m not going to
stand here and do nothing even if it cost me my life,” he allegedly added.

Asked if he had other plans besides Pelosi’s house, DePape named several “prominent” state
and federal politicians, their relatives and a local professor, according to the court filing.
None of the individuals were named.

I’m glad the MSN writer said that DePape “allegedly” told police. Frankly, I don’t believe a word
of it. I believe police or the District Attorney’s office, allied or controlled by the Deep State, are
creating this out of whole cloth or leading and/or threatening him to sign these kinds of
statements in return for some prosecutorial “deal.” His Left-wing, pro-BLM, nudism, and gay
advocacy proves that he would never be upset with either Pelosi or the Democrats.

Even the Epoch Times repeated without question the further charging statements saying that
DePape was intent on kidnapping Nancy Pelosi. What, in his underwear?

David DePape, the alleged attacker, told San Francisco police officers that he was going to
hold Nancy Pelosi and speak with her, according to the summary, which was contained in an
FBI affidavit supporting federal charges against DePape.

“If Nancy were to tell DEPAPE the ‘truth,’ he would let her go, and if she ‘lied,’ he was
going to break ‘her kneecaps,’” the affidavit states. “DEPAPE was certain that Nancy would
not have told the ‘truth.’ In the course of the interview, DEPAPE articulated he viewed
Nancy as the ‘leader of the pack’ of lies told by the Democratic Party.”

What lies are the Democrats telling that he disagrees with? His background is in total agreement
with all the Democrat initiatives.

Another goal of the break-in was apparently to use Nancy Pelosi “to lure another
individual” to DePape, though that individual has not been identified.

And just how would that work? How is he going to coerce Pelosi to tell someone to come over at
2 am in the morning? The police aren’t very good interrogators if they let this pass.

Paul Pelosi said she was not there. DePape said he would wait, Paul Pelosi said. DePape
recounted telling Paul Pelosi that he wanted to tie him up so that DePape could get some
rest as “he was tired from having had to carry a backpack to the Pelosi residence.”

If Pelosi told him she wasn’t there, he would have certainly told him she would be gone for at
least a week since she’s in DC. No rational person would say, “I’ll wait” for that long. And where
is the police evidence for the backpack and its contents?

DePape then removed twist ties from his pocket while Paul Pelosi began moving to another
part of the house. DePape “stopped him and together they went back into the bedroom,”
according to the affidavit. That’s when Paul Pelosi went to a bathroom and called 911.

Do the police have the ties in evidence? And, are we really to believe DePape keeps delaying
tying up Pelosi and even lets him make a call in the bathroom—which the statement hints that
DePape wanted to be found out because it was a suicide mission.

According to dispatch audio, Paul Pelosi told a dispatcher that he was with “a friend” and
that the friend wanted to wait for his wife. The dispatcher intuited that something was amiss
and sent officers to the home, San Francisco authorities have said.

That’s another reason we need to hear Pelosi’s actual call; The affidavit leaves out the part of
Pelosi saying he doesn’t know who he is.

DePape told officers that he thought the call would trigger a response but that he did not
leave “because, much like the American founding fathers with the British, he was fighting
against tyranny without the option of surrender,” according to the FBI affidavit.

Left-wing druggies don’t quote the founders of the nation fighting against tyranny. This affidavit
is beyond the pale for believability.

DePape and Paul Pelosi moved downstairs. When officers knocked on the front door, Paul
Pelosi opened the door, according to the affidavit. Officers saw DePape and Paul Pelosi
holding the same hammer, San Francisco authorities have said. DePape pulled the hammer
away struck Paul Pelosi at least once in front of the officers.

Now it gets really bizarre. We are to believe that DePape and Pelosi walk down the stairs
together, not fighting, and Pelosi opens the door to police, and then runs back over to DePape
with the hammer so they can struggle together over control of the hammer? That’s a crazy,
irrational scenario! Pelosi is a rational, wealthy businessman. If this happened to you, wouldn’t
you rush out the door and cry out for police to take over the confrontation with this hallucinating
druggy? None of this makes sense.

No rational interrogator would accept any of this without trying to unravel the contradictory
claims. The fact that they would put them in a charging affidavit indicates to me that it was a
total fabrication from the outset protecting Pelosi from embarrassment.

My main complaint about Tucker Carlson’s analysis is that he gives too much weight to DePape
being mentally ill, which he thinks explains all the weird stuff. He’s also too complimentary of
Paul Pelosi who can’t be all that “nice” if he’s involved in weird liaisons with gay druggies and
helping to cover it up.

Patty McMurray of 100% Fed Up summaries it well:

So is DePape gay? And why was he standing in his underwear in Pelosi’s home next to Paul
Pelosi? And while we’re asking questions, who was the person inside Paul Pelosi’s vehicle
when he was arrested for a DUI several months ago?

Conservative comedian Terrence K. Williams tweeted what many Americans are thinking:This Pelosi story is getting weird. Paul Pelosi & his attacker were half-naked when the
police showed up. They were both in their underwear. And how did somebody randomly get
into the mansion of the person 3rd in line to the presidency?

For people not paying attention, the story now is that a nudist in his underwear with a
hammer snuck into the Pelosi residence, a wellness check sent the police there, they knocked
on the door, a THIRD person let them in, at which point the man began assaulting Paul
Pelosi.

The violent crime surge in San Francisco mirrors most Democrat-run cities that are soft on
crime and is bound to harm residents across the economic and political spectrum. Finally,
this tweet says it all…

In the Democrat-led, violent, drug-infested, lawless, and homeless city of San Francisco, no
one would have batted an eye if a story about two men fighting with hammers led to a bloody
crime. Ironically, it’s Nancy Pelosi’s lawless and far-left actions that have left her hometown
in its current disgusting state.

DePape also happens to be from Canada and has been illegally in the country for many years.
The Epoch Times came out with a better story on the sordid and Left-wing background of
DePape with complete documentation as well as the role of SF District Attorney Brook Jenkins
in denying their records request for police body cam footage.

NORTH KOREA THREAT GROWING

In the past year, the country’s leader, Kim Jong Un, has tested a submarine-launched ballistic
missile, a train-mounted ballistic missile, a new surface-to-air defense missile system, a
long-range strategic cruise missile, and multiple hypersonic missiles. There were 23 missiles
tested this week alone, to coincide with military exercises on the other side of the DMZ by South
Korean and US forces. Foreign Affairs reports:

And there are indications that North Korea is preparing its seventh nuclear test, possibly to
showcase a more compact, next-generation tactical nuclear weapon.

Even as Kim has been expanding his WMD arsenal, he has also been threatening to launch a
preemptive attack. These threats are not new, but the fact that Kim is publicly reserving the
right to mount a first strike is nevertheless concerning.

On September 9, at a meeting of North Korea’s rubber-stamp parliament, Kim announced
five conditions under which North Korea would launch a preemptive nuclear strike,
effectively unveiling a new “first use” doctrine. The conditions are not only when a nuclear
attack against North Korea is imminent but also when a nonnuclear strike on the country’s
leadership or “national nuclear force command body” has been carried out; when a military
attack on important state targets has occurred; or when the regime deems that only nuclear
weapons can prevent the expansion of a conventional war. Kim also introduced legislation to
enshrine North Korea’s nuclear status and asserted that he will never again engage in talks
about denuclearization.

In doing so, he is addressing a plausible scenario: as recently as 2017, U.S. policymakers
discussed the possibility of a “bloody nose”—or preemptive—strike against North Korea. By
threatening first use, Kim is also positioning North Korea to be able to employ nuclear
blackmail against South Korea to coerce it into political concessions, perhaps ultimately
with the aim of getting some kind of unification arrangement on North Korean terms.

I highly doubt the last statement. NK has rejected all of SK’s overtures toward reunification and
peaceful commerce.

VACCINE THREATS CONTINUE

Another Rabid Pro-Vaccine Blogger Dies: A vaxxed and boosted food writer has died at the
young age of 49. Julie Powell said she relished anti-vaxxers and mask deniers “dying in legions.”
But she herself died suddenly of cardiac arrest. She said “I would argue that COVID does kill
some of the right people.” In the end, it turns out to be the vaccine killing some of it’s biggest
online promoters. This wasn’t the only radical statement she made against those against the
vaccine. It was one continual rant. [Infowars.com]

More Stillbirths with the Vaccines: Leaked hospital emails in Fresno, CA reveal a dramatic
increase of stillbirths following the vaccine rollout.

The email leaked to The Epoch Times by a staffer who wished to remain anonymous for fear
of losing their job explained last week that the stillbirth rate has skyrocketed from the
pre-COVID-19 vaccine average of one to two every 90 days in her hospital alone.

“There were 22 demise patients in August [2022], which ties the record number of demises
in July 2021, and so far in September there have been 7 and it’s only the 8th day of the
month,” a managing nurse wrote, adding she hopes the “trend doesn’t continue
indefinitely.”

According to Florida-based OB-GYN Dr. James Thorp, the emails are consistent with
VAERS data and findings by numerous health organizations, and he noted the stillbirth rate
actually decreased from 2018-2020, showing COVID-19 did not contribute to the increase in
the stillbirth rate.

“Let that sink in: the peer-reviewed publications documenting severe adverse events after the
COVID-19 vaccines in just 15 months dwarfs all other such reports from all other vaccines
administered on all of the planet earth over the past century,” Thorp said.

“According to the national U.S. fetal death rate (stillbirths) per 1,000 births, there was a
decline in rates from 5.89 in 2018 to 5.74 in 2020, convincingly suggesting that COVID-19
infections did not increase stillbirth rates in 2020.”

But using the data from the email, including the 22 stillbirths observed in July 2021 and
August 2022, Thorp concluded the stillbirth rate went from 5.74 per 1,000 births in 2020 to
29.3 per 1,000 births in 2021 and 2022, more than a fourfold increase.[Newswars.com]

COVID Shots Are Responsible for Soaring RSV Cases in US & Canada: “Across the board,
you see more cases of Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in the vaccinated group than in the
placebo group.” Even the Moderna and Pfizer trials showed that there were “FOUR times the
amount of RSV in the vaccinated group compared to the unvaccinated group that hadn’t received
it,” noted Del Bigtree. [Vigilant Fox]

Italian Vaccine Death Studies Show 20 Toxic Venoms in Blood of Dead Vaxxed People: The
data from the Italian study is very detailed and complete. Drs. Ruby and Ardis go through the
findings in this video, but don’t answer the reason of why or how these toxins would get into
people through the mRNA shot. My suspicion is that this may explain why only 5% of the
vaccine batches cause all the severe injury and death. The Italian study only deals with those who
died vaccinated, and didn’t track the batches of vaccines involved. Perhaps those who don’t die
received other batches were placebos or that didn’t contain the toxins (in order to limit the
damage numbers). Otherwise, if all the batches were this deadly, vaccines would cease to be a
useful depopulation tool as everyone would wake up to the danger and refuse to take any more
vaccines.

Dr. Peter McCullough is Being Progressively Stripped of His Medical Credentials:

Dr. Peter McCullough, author of 677 articles published in the scientific peer-reviewed journals

UKRAINE UPDATE

Zerohedge.com reports that the US is giving Ukraine one of its top air defense systems, capable
of taking down the flock of drones Russia is using to destroy Ukrainian energy infrastructure.

The United States has given Ukraine the most advanced anti-air defense systems to date: the
NASAMS. It is a short-range air defense system, and it can fire an AIM-120 Advanced
Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missile—and it could knock down everything in the sky from
drones to ballistic missiles to fighter jets,” the Raytheon CEO detailed.

The surface-to-air system is produced by Raytheon in partnership with Norwegian defense
company Kongsberg, and is considered a mid-range system, but can be outfitted with longer
range missiles.

The NASAMS is used by the military to protect federal buildings and the White House in
Washington D.C. from any inbound aerial threats, and is capable of intercepting even very
low flying projectiles.

President Zelensky told a summit of Group of Seven leaders last week, “When Ukraine
receives a sufficient quantity of modern and effective air defence systems, the key element of
Russia’s terror — rocket strikes — will cease to work.” Each unit costs $23 million
according to the US Department of Defense.

In contrast, Russia is getting a large resupply of munitions and missiles from North Korea:
Quora.com posted this: “After hoping and expecting Russia to run out of ammunition soon,
Russia turned around and bought millions of rockets and artillery rounds from N. Korea.”
Actually, no one in the West know how many. I doubt it’s “millions.”

In the ground war, where Ukrainian forces are closing in on Kherson, David Axe, the military
correspondent for Forbes.com gives a short report on signs the Russian forces are already pulling
out in phases. Checkpoints in the outlying areas of the city have been abandoned, Russia flags are
coming down and there are convoys of military equipment exiting across the Dnipro River.
Whether or not Ukraine takes back this key city in the south depends on how much of a fight the
remaining Russians put up and the worsening weather.

ELECTION FRAUD ALREADY IN THE WORKS

Almost a quarter of a million ballots were mailed to Pennsylvania voters without a date or
verification of their identity, making them prime targets for fraudulent ballot drops, according to
the Daily Signal. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court just ruled that the state must not count any of
these ballots.

True the Vote leadership is targeting Konnech corporation which handles computer voting data
around the US. They have testimony from a whistleblower from within the company alleging
electoral data problems and the fact that Konnech stores much of its data in China, which is
against US law. So, investigative reporter Emerald Robinson asks, “Why is Judge Kenneth Hoyt
protecting Konnech after its CEO was arrested,” and sending two leaders of True the Vote to jail
for contempt?

On Thursday, Gregg Phillips and Catherine Engelbrecht of the election integrity
organization True The Vote were held in contempt of court because they have refused to
divulge a confidential source in a civil case brought by the election software company
Konnech in a federal court in Houston.

The judge in the case, Kenneth Hoyt of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of
Texas, has gone to extraordinary lengths to protect Konnech from legitimate scrutiny. First,
Judge Hoyt granted Konnech’s request for a temporary restraining order against
Engelbrecht and Phillips — which prohibits them from accessing, or attempting to access,
Konnech’s computers or disclosing any of the company’s data. Then Hoyt demanded that
True The Vote disclose the name of the person who helped them access Konnech’s data in the
first place.

What has destroyed Konnech’s defamation lawsuit against True The Vote is that Konnech’s
CEO, Eugene Yu, was arrested on October 4th for illegally storing the personal data of
American election workers on servers in China. Judge Hoyt has simply proceeded in
Konnech’s civil case this week as if none of this has happened.

According to a press release that appeared on October 4th on the “True The Vote” website,
Judge Hoyt went so far as to issue a gag order against Phillips and Engelbrecht even
discussing the litigation… Konnech CEO Eugene Yu was arrested based on alleged evidence
of the very activities he and his organization attempted to suppress.

Florida Investigating Ballot Harvesting

A whistleblower emerged with a detailed complaint of paid teams going door-to-door doing
ballot harvesting for those who don’t care to vote. Florida is being targeted in this election by the
Left to oust Governor Ron Desantis. World Net Daily has the story.

It is Just the News that uncovered the details about the sworn affidavit from former Orange
County Commission candidate Cynthia Harris, and the tidal wave it created. She charged
that there is a years-long ballot harvesting operation in Florida’s black communities of
“politically important central Florida.”

Harris’ affidavit, filed in August with the state Secretary of State, accused Democrats of
having liberal leaning organizations dispatch ballot brokers into black communities “to
pressure voters to turn over their ballots.” The brokers have been paid $10 for each ballot
they collect, the charges allege. The collection and delivery of ballots by third parties is
illegal in Florida.”

In Arizona prosecutors have achieved several convictions for ballot harvesting, most recently
securing the guilty plea of a former Democrat mayor in Yuma County. True the Vote filed a
complaint in Georgia alleging thousands of ballots were harvested in the 2020 election, but
those allegations have not yet been corroborated as authorities negotiate with the nonprofit
group for its evidence. A Wisconsin investigation unmasked a sophisticated ballot harvesting
effort targeting vulnerable nursing home patients in communities like Racine, Wis.,” Just the
News explained.

BRAZIL ELECTS COMMUNIST LULA DA SILVA IN QUESTIONABLE VOTE

Yet another Latin American country has gone over to the Communists in a hotly contested
election where Lula da Silva appeared to defeat President Jair Bolsonaro to win a third term as
Brazil’s president. During Lula’s past terms he always presided over the Foro de Sao Paulo, an
annual gathering of top Communist leaders in Latin America to plan strategy.

Lula won by less than two percentage points — the closest vote in Brazilian history and it was
the first time an incumbent ran for a second term and lost.

But there were similarities to the election fraud in the US in 2020 where Trump supposedly lost
but conservatives gained in legislative and governor’s offices. Steve Bannon interviewed Mathew
Tyrmand on the Brazil election. Here are some excerpts from their discussion.

Bolsonaro was winning the election up to a certain point and then every ballot drop was won
by the socialist candidate. “The math doesn’t make sense at all.” says Mathew Tyrmand. The
Mainstream Media all “pounded in immediately” says Bannon to claim the win for the
socialist. “There’s been no transparency. There’s been censorship. There’s been arrests of
opposition. There’s been penalization from the court to Bolsonaro’s party.” Says Thyrmand.
The election in Brazil is the same as the US election of 2020.

Benford’s Law of Statistics was Broken in This Election:

Benford’s law of data show the statistical rate at which each numbered digit appears  in any true
data set. Certain numbers always predominate. Wide variations in this law indicate that someone
has altered the data.

The source demonstrated the credibility of the authors who are presenting here their
statistical findings on the first round of the Brazilian elections. The source group applied
Benford’s Law, a highly recognized statistical formula, to analyze publicly available data
provided by the Brazilian Electoral Court (TSE). The formula showed inconsistencies in
voting tabulation in several regions across the country.

Several charts show Benford’s Law curve in a certain format, while the actual curve of the
vote tabulation veers completely off from it. This is what points to manipulation according to
the expert source. [Creative Media]

Because of the degree of vote fraud, Pres. Bolsonaro has refused to concede but authorized the
transition process to begin.

Epoch Times Gets it Wrong on Diesel Shortages: The normally reliable news source made
errors when it simply repeated industry jargon explaining away diesel shortages (mostly in
Southeastern states) on rapidly devolving supply chain issues.

“Poor pipeline shipping economics and historically low diesel inventories are combining to
cause shortages in various markets throughout the Southeast,” the company said. “These
have been occurring sporadically, with areas like Tennessee seeing particularly acute
challenges.”

Nowhere in this article or in any other have they told the truth with the exception of a
Bloomberg article. The main reason we are experiencing some shortages in diesel fuel is that
refiners are shipping most of it to Europe and Latin America where it fetches a much higher
price. Period. Here Oilprice.com cites Bloomberg:

Domestic supplies of gasoline and diesel in the United States are dwindling as record
volumes of fuel are being exported from the Gulf Coast, BNN Bloomberg reports.

Bloomberg said that up to 2.09 million barrels per day of gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel
shipped out of the Gulf Coast last month. That rate represents the highest volume since
2016 based on known data. And it wasn’t [all] destined to help Europe out of its energy
crisis. Instead, the report says that most exports went to Latin America, and that is not
expected to slow in the near term. [Actual most is going to Europe where price is higher]

Political Bias at Universities The Utah Deseret News published an outside study by the
Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression of political leanings at US universities.

Unsurprisingly, colleges students in the U.S. tend to be more liberal than Americans as a
whole, with significantly fewer conservative students at liberal arts and Ivy League schools.
“Democrats outnumber Republicans by a 55-23% margin on campus, and liberals
outnumber conservatives 53-21%,” the study says. “Elite students are thus two-thirds more
Democratic and twice as liberal as the American population.”

Hillsdale College in MI is by far the most conservative university in the US.

PREPAREDNESS TIP: RADIATION METER UPDATE by Andrew Skousen

As the probability of a nuclear conflict increases, more and more people have been frustrated in
their search for a radiation meter. Despite the uptick in demand, many meters are disappearing
from the marketplace or are restricted from the general public. There are plenty of radiation
meters out there, but the vast majority of them are not suitable for measuring the higher radiation
levels of nuclear war between 1-1000 Rad/hr that occur during brief periods. When you see
meters displays in mRad/hr (or uSv/hr for SI units) you can be sure they are only designed to pick
up small background levels of radiation. Most of these meters are Geiger counter devices based
on Geiger-Mueller (G-M) tubes which will become “saturated” at high radiation levels and
display a dangerously false low reading. Although I have covered this topic in the past, here is an
update on the few radiation meters I find that are valuable and some that are no longer available.

K8 Nuke Safeguard: This mini-pager sized device blinks green, yellow or red lights at different
rates depending on the radiation levels. It will emit an audible alert when it gets to 50 mR/hr and
above. I don’t know what its maximum range is, but it is built on a solid-state silicon detector so
it does not have the saturation problem at higher levels. At around $70 it is relatively cheap, but
its CR2032 battery will need replacement almost every 2 months. It is valuable but requires more
upkeep compared to the Nukalert below.

Nukalert Keychain Meter: This thumb-sized radiation meter for $160 is still the best everyday
radiation monitor. It is so small and lightweight it can be kept on your keychain or in your purse.
Specifically designed for a nuclear event it boasts a range from 100 mR/hr to 5000 R/hr. It will
start emitting chirps when it senses radiation at or above 100 mR/hr, with the chirps increasing in
frequency in proportion to the radiation present. A chart on the back helps you translate the chirp
rate to the radiation level. Its battery lasts at least 10 years with continuous use. It has also been
tested against EMP effects and passed. You can tell it is working by listening for a faint ticking
sound when held up to your ear. The only downside to its solid-state detector is it does not stop
chirping for several hours after it has been activated. That means it might falsely continue to
warn you of radiation even after you get under cover. Be aware of this so you don’t panic after
getting to your shelter. Hopefully you will have another meter stored there to double-check the
levels there.

Discontinued meters: The Radeye GF high range radiation meter by Fischer Scientific appears
to have been discontinued, which is surprising since personal radiation meters are generating
more interest than ever, including with emergency fire and police departments which they cater
to. Similarly the Nukalert ER has not reappeared on the market despite higher demand. Last we
heard they were all being bought up by government contract.

Victoreen Civil Defense Meters: The easiest high-range meters that are still readily available are
the old civil defense (CD) meters from the 1960s. Get it from KI4U.com and it will be recently
recalibrated. Some of the meters are the low-range Geiger counter-types so look for the CD V-715 with a range from 0.1 to 500 Rad/hr or the CD V-717 with a similar range but also with a
detachable probe. Many people are afraid of buying this old equipment because they worry about
it being out of calibration, or needing it frequently. We have found they don’t fall out of
calibration even long after the recommended 3-year calibration window. We also plan on
checking them with another meter like the nukalert and the Kearney Fallout Meter that you can
build yourself in about 6 hours using regular household materials and the instructions in
Appendix C of Kearney’s important book Nuclear War Survival Skills (now available as a free
pdf). A slightly out-of-calibration meter is better than no meter at all.

RAD Triage Cards: The postage-stamp sized RAD stickers have been updated to a new credit-card size. This makes them easier to see and to read the printed instructions on the back. They
work by a special strip down the middle of the card that changes to a dark blue color when
exposed to radiation. Although this is a slow way to know if you are in a dangerous radiation
zone, it does keep track of the accumulated dose of radiation the card (and you) are getting. Very
valuable for its price ($26). It never needs to be calibrated and stays viable as long as it is kept
out of sunlight. The main downside is it cannot be reset, so it is only good for a single use. You
should have one for every adult member of your family.

Modern radiation meters are getting hard to find just when more people need them. Fortunately,
there are still solid options available like the old Victoreen meters, Nukalert keychain and RAD
triage cards and they reasonably priced, comparatively. They provide the key information
everyone needs in a nuclear event. If you go to all the trouble to build a fallout shelter (which you
must) it is essential to know when it’s safe to emerge and when you have to go back inside when
another wave of fallout arrives. [END]
