Election Day Sees Stocks Rally Worldwide

With Election Day 2020 finally here, stocks across the world have been on the rise.

Analysts say the boost reflects hope that the uncertainty of the United States’ political future will give way to clarity and possibly another coronavirus stimulus deal.

Tuesday afternoon saw increasing Treasury yields and oil prices, as well as a Dow Jones Industrial Average that was up 2.1%, 567 points, as of 4 p.m. EST.

77% of Americans Think Violence Will Break Out After the Election

A final poll of American voters has found that no less than 77% think violence will break out after today’s presidential election.

According to the Yahoo News/YouGov survey, 51% of voters think Trump will refuse to concede if he loses the election while 77% “worry that violence will break out in the coming days.”

Both sides are almost even when it comes to judging the reaction to either candidate winning.

59% of Trump supporters believe that if Trump loses it will be because “Democrats rigged the election,” while 58% of Biden supporters believe if the former Vice President loses it will be because “Republicans stole the election.”

Antifa Gearing Up for False Flag Violence Disguised as Trump Supporters

With merchants in Democrat-run cities boarding up their storefront windows, the possibility of serious urban violence is well-understood. As horrific as that could get (ask anyone who lives in Minneapolis), the progressive fascists appear to have a plan in place to make it even worse: disguising their rioters as Trump supporters in order to make the case that Donald Trump truly is a dictator that must be violently overthrown if he wins, or arrested and prosecuted if he loses.

A source that has always been reliable was able to photograph an Antifa flyer:

Archbishop Says Trump is Only One to Save Humanity From ‘The Great Reset’

“A Global Conspiracy Against God”

The Italian archbishop best known for confronting Pope Francis over the Vatican’s willful blindness to priests who abuse boys has written a letter in which he lashes out at the “global elite”, prompting some to accuse him of sympathizing with the “QAnon” movement of conspiracy theorists.

The letter, penned by Archibishop Carlo Maria Vigano, formerly the Vatican’s ambassador to the US, attacks a shadowy “global elite”, that is plotting a “Great Reset” intended to undermine “God and humanity”.

This same group, the archbishop argued, is also responsible for the lockdowns that have restricted movement and freedom around the globe, eliciting protests in many European capitals.

Biden Plans to “Assert Control” As President-Elect if Declared Winner by News Organizations

Joe Biden is planning to address the nation and “assert control” as the president-elect if he is declared winner by news organizations, even if President Trump has refused to concede.

“If news organizations declare Joe Biden the mathematical president-elect, he plans to address the nation as its new leader, even if President Trump continues to fight in court,” reports Axios.

The move is a deliberate attempt to make Biden act like the winner even if there is a dispute over the result.

Election Day “Shocker”: Mueller Went After WikiLeaks & Roger Stone for DNC Hacks But Found ‘Lack of Evidence’

Much belatedly and amazingly a mere hours before election day Buzzfeed News published a bombshell report late Monday night based on the DOJ newly declassifying previously secret portions of the Mueller report (following a successful FOIA lawsuit to obtain them). It’s yet more smoking gun evidence proving long after the fact that core aspects of now deflated ‘Russiagate’ that American media spent years devoting wall-to-wall coverage to were deliberate manufactured falsehoods (shocker!), specifically as regards claims of early collaboration and “collusion” between Trump staffers, WikiLeaks, and the Russian government.

Unfortunately, like with the latest news that put the final nail in the coffin of the Steele dossier hoax, this too will fast be memory-holed given it’s now election day. We learn 18-months after the initial report’s redacted release that despite putting one of the most hyped central allegations facing Trump’s team and his past campaign adviser Roger Stone under a microscope, Mueller’s team of hundreds of FBI agents simply “did not have sufficient evidence” and thus never pursued charges, as the Buzzfeed report begins:

Prosecutors investigated Julian Assange, WikiLeaks, and Roger Stone for the hacking of Democratic National Committee servers as well as for possible campaign finance violations, but ultimately chose not to charge them, newly released portions of the Mueller Report reveal.

Although WikiLeaks published emails stolen from the DNC in July and October 2016 and Stone — a close associate to Donald Trump — appeared to know in advance the materials were coming, investigators “did not have sufficient evidence” to prove active participation in the hacks or knowledge that the electronic thefts were continuing. In addition, federal prosecutors could not establish that the hacked emails amounted to campaign contributions benefitting Trump’s election chances and furthermore felt their publication might have been protected by the First Amendment, making a successful prosecution tenuous.

Facebook Wants to Use User Data to Analyze and Predict Worldwide Coronavirus Cases

Facebook says that it wants to use Artificial Intelligence tech and massive amounts of data it has at its disposal to predict the spread and spiking of coronavirus cases across the US and ultimately the world.

The system that Facebook proposes to develop would be implemented in all US counties (not at state-level), taking into account the features of the virus and social circumstances, and be capable of producing predictions about a spike in the number of cases two weeks before it happens.

Additional data that Facebook’s new algorithm would require should come from what is said will be “anonymized” (personal) and time based case data from each county. Reports are saying that this will not only allow Facebook to forecast events around the spread of the epidemic, but also “influence” social distancing and limited mobility.

Of course, it’s “Islamophobic” to ask such questions, so they will not be answered, but sooner or later they will not be avoidable.

Futures Explode Higher as Odds of Reflation Trade, Contested Election Collapse

It was supposed to be a Blue Wave… and if not a Blue Wave then at least a landslide victory for Joe Biden over Donald Trump. Well, not only is that not likely to happen, but suddenly it seems that Trump may be a decisive winner and not need Pennsylvania, with Betfair odds now 70% in his favor.

So what does that mean for a market that had almost entirely priced in a Biden/Blue Wave victory? Well, as we noted on Oct 31, when we pointed out the collapse in Nasdaq shorts, we said that a surge in the Nasdaq was imminent as the so-called dumb money reversed.

Hatred of Trump vs. Hatred of the Left

One way in which today’s presidential election can be summarized is this: It is a contest between those who hate Donald Trump and those who hate the left (as I always point out, I am referring to the left, not to liberals or liberalism).

This is so accurate an assessment I suspect even most Democrats would agree with it.

They know they hate President Donald Trump. And they know conservatives (and a few courageous liberals) hate the left.

When you put it this way, it shows how superficial the anti-Trump electoral argument is. We who are not on the left base our opposition to the Democratic Party on ideas, values and our love for America, not on antipathy toward an individual. And let me assure Democrats: Most Republicans had just as much contempt for former President Barack Obama and have as much contempt for Joe Biden as Democrats have for Donald Trump. But we don’t obsess over personalities; we obsess over America.

She more broadly barred him “from exercising any power under the California Emergency Services Act which amends, alters, or changes existing statutory law or makes new statutory law or legislative policy.”

The Choice is Ours, Trump and Freedom or Biden and Slavery

Freedom

President Trump fully understands freedom, he understands our God given rights, he understands the America founded by principled and highly educated men of letters and strong Biblical study, he understands love of country, he understand patriotism, he truly understands all men are created equal, he understands civil liberties, he understand commitment, he understands love, he understands kindness, he understand America’s strengths and weaknesses and his goal is righteous freedom for all and the greatness of the one country founded by men who knew persecution and wanted free will and self-government for all.

To our president, communism is anathema to freedom, liberty and our Constitution. He was trained and led by his father to hear the truth of communism and its dangers in one of Manhattan’s most venerable sanctuaries, Marble Collegiate Church on Fifth Avenue where Norman Vincent Peale spoke against communism nearly every Sunday.

In those days, there were amazing men of God who preached the truth, something we lack today, and why so many churches are suffering. Watch Bishop Fulton Sheen’s The Glory of Being an American; he was a man who preached solidly and strongly against communism and taught Americans the truth of freedom. Pastor Richard Wurmbrand who had been tortured for Christ for 14 years in communist Romanian prisons, told the truth of communism in his book, Marx and Satan. J. Vernon McGee preached the truth of civil liberties and the dangers of socialism throughout his ministry, especially the last ten years of his life while he fought cancer.

And now we face an election where the choice is President Trump’s America with freedom and liberty or Biden’s enslavement and death via a communist one world government. Our wonderful historic president knows the truth of the evil that pervades our beloved country and he is fighting with all his might against this perversion and destruction of American sovereignty and self-government.

It’s up to us, freedom or slavery.

This Election Day is the Battle Between Good and Evil, Which Will You Choose?

Democrats still believe in slavery and ownership of minorities, blacks, Hispanics and who ever they can convince that they are stuck and needy of hand outs, when in truth, these unaffordable, lying handouts are really a way to control them like voting cattle they can point and click to their agenda. They are viewed as slaves again, nothing but a voting block to be manipulated and kept down. That is Un American, un Godly and a vivid lie.

Black people have been fooled to believe, though mostly conservative in their life style and beliefs, that politics are different. They are in the Democrat family and not to think, just vote the party line. In truth, they are voting against morals, The Holy Bible and freedom.Instead they are voting for continued, self-imposed slavery.

Donald Trump has become the true freedom warrior, believer in all Americans, and man of God. He is hated because he truly has given his heart to Jesus and is a praying President and is not for sale for the usual political and power controllers on all sides of him. How dare he listen to God and the American people instead of those with power and money.

This election day is a huge battle between good and evil, not Republican or Democrat. It is Biden, Kamala and the DEMOCRATS that side with all kinds of murdering abortions, gay marriage, high taxation, assaults on religious speech and belief in the true God of the Holy Bible. It is Donald Trump and the Republicans who stand for all life — young and old,anti-abortion, marriage between a man and a woman as God has said directly, freedom of religion and freedom of speech.

Why is the Corporate Media Predicting a “Dark Winter”?

Earlier this week I reported how a mere 6 companies control almost everything we see in the corporate media. On the corporate news networks, it is common to use “doctors” to get a specific message across to the public, by using their “appeal to authority,” where facts and real science are not even needed to convince the masses. See:

Brainwashing the Masses: 6 Companies Own Almost ALL of the Media in the U.S. — Using Medical “Doctors” to Sell Their Message

This is true beyond just the corporate media news broadcasts, which are controlled by the Billionaires on Wall Street, primarily the pharmaceutical industry today.

But it goes beyond just news broadcasts, as their propaganda can be even more effective in the entertainment industry, where critical thinking skills are relaxed all in the name of “entertainment.”

Earlier this year the film “Out of Shadows” was released online by Hollywood insiders, and it was viewed by over 15 million people on YouTube before they took it down.

This is a must watch for anyone who has not seen it yet:

Author Campaigns to Cancel His His Own Book He Says is Racist. The Asian-American Publisher Says it Isn’t.

“Righteous indignation” among Canada’s otherwise finely-tuned sensibilities to any and all “woke culture” talking points and narratives — including the slippery slope of accusations of “cultural appropriation” that sees racism in some unlikely places — seems to be in full swing.

A children’s book author, Adam Pottle, went all the way to declare his own book as racist and sabotage his own work because he thought illustrations published in the book, The Most Awesome Character in the World, did not comply with the latest norms around wokeism.

In a tweet he called on Amazon to remove his book from their websites, as Powell’s, Barnes & Noble, and others have already done, at his behest.

Belgium: Teacher Suspended for Showing Muhammad Cartoon to His Class in Heavily Muslim Area

The West is going to have to decide: will it uphold and defend the freedom of expression, or surrender to Sharia blasphemy laws and violent intimidation? In Belgium, it looks as if authorities are already opting for the latter. And Belgium is not alone. In Sharia Sweden, police hunted for people who burned the Qur’an in a no-go zone with large Muslim population. When the freedom of speech is a dim memory, historians (if there are any) will be able to look back at incidents like this one to see how all was lost.

Stillbirths Nearly Double During UK’s First Lockdown

There were nearly double the number of stillbirths during the height of the coronavirus lockdown, with concerns the “protect the NHS” message may have discouraged women from seeking urgent medical help.

As a result, the UK’s Healthcare Safety Investigation Branch (HSIB) said it will launch a review of the increase.

Vienna Jihad Massacre: Boris Johnson and Macron Are ‘Shocked, ‘ Merkel Says ‘Islamist Terror’ is ‘The Common Enemy’

If Boris Johnson and Emmanuel Macron are really shocked by this, they haven’t been paying attention, and are willfully ignorant and/or misinformed about the motivating ideology behind jihad attacks and the beliefs of large numbers of the Muslims they’re bringing into Europe. And Merkel says “Islamist terror” is Europe’s “common enemy”? Then why has she so indefatigably enabled it, and why have they all done so, by bringing massive numbers of Muslims, among whom will inevitably be some Islamic jihadis, into their countries?

“Vienna gunman, 20, who killed four and wounded 17 was released early from prison on terror charges because of his age, had wanted to join ISIS in Syria — but ‘was deemed incapable of an attack,’“ by Danyal Hussain and Ross Ibbetson, Mailonline, November 3, 2020.

Iran: Newspaper Depicts Macron as Satan for Opposing Beheadings

The ‘Migrant Invasion Continues’ In Italy, Warns Matteo Salvini

The migrant camp on the Italian island of Lampedusa has been again flooded with illegal immigrants after 900 landed there Monday night after 600 already landed on Sunday, League leader Matteo Salvini said.

After information came to light that the Islamic terrorist attack in Nice, France, was perpetrated by an illegal migrant from Tunisia who first landed on Lampedusa island on Sept. 20, Salvini warned that the number of terrorists and potential killers among the latest arrivals is unknown.

Almost 700 arrived at night with twelve boats, and in the morning 200 more arrived ashore with three more boats. The smallest group was 14, and the largest nearly a 100. Nine hundred people at a time have traditionally been housed at the island’s registration center for illegal migrants, where there are less than 200 spots. Barely a day ago, just over a 100 previously arrived immigrants from the camp were transferred to the Suprema quarantine ship after 600 migrants in 14 separate boats also landed in Lampedusa on Sunday.

They have been made unrecognizable on the images so that the identity of the perpetrators is not clear.

Cancel Culture, Part 2 the Coming of the Second Prehistoric Period

Why do Western Culture and Christianity both have to be annihilated? Western Culture represents the reasoning, logical, fair and open minded aspects of our world. Out of Western Culture sprang the United States Constitution, the framework of the nation. And the Christian religious traditions, especially the Ten Commandments, are the underlying pillars of Western Culture. As Antonio Gramsci wrote in his prison notebooks, “Any country grounded in Judaeo-Christian values can’t be overthrown until those roots are cut … Socialism is precisely the religion that must overwhelm Christianity … in the new order, Socialism will triumph by first capturing the culture via infiltration of schools, universities, churches and the media by transforming the consciousness of society.” That, to me, seems a very up-front answer.

Right now on the ground in the still standing (barely) good old U.S.A., how are we seeing Cancel Culture in action?…

In Antonio Gramsci’s Prison Notebooks, he theorized that dominant groups maintain their position through a mix of sheer force (coercion through political society) and, more importantly, with the active participation of the subordinate groups (consent through hegemony in civil society). These subordinate groups today are listed as Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), working with the United Nations, that have infiltrated every local and state government, pushing policies to establish their new state. They are the useful idiots who work against their own well-being and freedom, not just ours.

  1. Re: “Danish newspapers agree to publish political cartoon of Mohammed”

    Just a note: A more correct translation of the name of the political party mentioned in this article as “New Right” would be “New Conservatives”. The Danish name is Nye Borgerlige. “Borgerlig” in this instance refers to being civic minded and adhering to the constitution.

  2. “In the words of Mayor Basil Zampilas uttered during a radio show and podcast on Wednesday, “If you’ve got a penis, mate, you’re a bloke. If you’ve got a vagina, you’re a woman. Game over.”

    I mean, he’s not wrong.
    That’s the whole point of transsexualism: your body and mind aren’t in alignment and thankfully our medical advances are now good enough to bring them in alignment, after which you’re going to have a penis or a vagina and, hence, be a bloke or a woman. Because if you claim they’re still not a man or a woman, then you’re dismissing everybody with fertility issues and birth or injury defects – and I’m fairly certain no decent person would do that.

    But this has nothing to do with the whole transgender hysteria. If anything, that movement is harming actual transsexuals, who only want to get their bodies straight and that other letter on their ID’s. The fact that their willing to sacrifice their fertility for that should be proof enough of just how serious this condition is. Most transsexuals will also agree that the transgender movement is harming them, since it exposes their transition period. Actual transsexuals won’t be healed with woke culture, they literally need hormonal therapy and surgery to put their minds at ease. Otherwise it’s like telling a person with glasses that they don’t have to wear them anymore, because everybody knows their sight isn’t the best. But that person is still gonna bump into things and won’t be able to read properly without them and it won’t help one bit that everybody around is understanding.

    • Sorry, but telling people that they can turn into the other sex is a lie. There are high levels of suicide among people who have been talked into getting self mutilated.

      A man who has been given women’s hormones or had his privates cut off is still a man — with a man’s body, man’s genes, man’s strength. Albeit a mutilated man.

  3. Okay, people do not have the right to insult a religion, especially if it is Islam, but for Christianity it’s open season. Cute.

    • seriously, Islam is NOT a religion at all. IT is a political ideology posing as a religion. Satans children.

  4. Alas, stealing the election is underway

    This Wednesday morning I saw a betting market which now gives Biden around 80 percent chance winning.

    From what I follow, Arizona is still in play. If Trump wins Arizona and retains Pennsylvania, Trump wins.

    If Biden becomes President, I expect Republicans to make gains in Congress in the mid terms. I don’t expect Biden to run for a second term. The Republicans might then be favored in 2024.

    • Biden won’t run for a second term, you can be sure of that. Kamala Harris will be president within the year, that old coot’s mental decline is accelerating fast.

      But The Donald is going to fight this electoral fraud all in. When the Democrats “find” 138,000 votes, and they are all for Biden, you know the fix is in.

    • We’ll be in a global civil war long before then if Biden obtains office. He is a crook and blatant liar, as is Boris Johnson. Defrauding the voter is about the most evil crime that can be committed.

    • If Biden wins, there will not be any more Republican wins and likely no more elections or an America in its current form.

      The most important issue facing a Trump second term would have been breaking the power of Big Tech. Without this happening there would never be a chance for another conservative to get elected since any support or news unfavorable to the left would be hidden or suppressed. I feel that large parts of the country will likely refuse to accept a Harris administration and we are on the knife edge of armed revolt. Either way, we are crossing the Rubicon with this election.

    • Piglosi has cited the 25th Amendment. Biden will be declared unfit for office and Commie Kamela would be the President. That is their ploy.

  5. Western European countries are like a bunch of girls giving it all away. Easy to imagine just how so much would be a lot clearer sooner. Lands of opportunity for halal butchs.

  6. Hopefully Trumps challenge of results is successful, as the Democrstic fraud is very obvious in a number of states. But if the ruse if a Biden win goes on, I do not even expect him to last until inauguration day. Dems don’t reslly want or need him. China vonttold Biddn and Ksmala. Keeping Biden seeming normal is a challdnge given his dimentia. The other possibility is criminal charges against Biden based on the Hunter laptop revelations. We are not done with that.
