Amazon Ring Partners With Police, Linking People’s Homes to “Real Time” Surveillance “Crime Centers”
Ring, a company owned by the behemoth Amazon, produces surveillance security products including outdoor motion-detecting cameras installed on people’s homes, as well as Ring Video Doorbell, and an app dubbed Neighbors, that allows online sharing of captured videos among users.
In the past, groups have spoken about a number of privacy and civil liberty issues that might suffer as a consequence of using this technology, including, among many others, that Ring is hosted in the cloud and therefore is not private, as users are not the only ones who can access their own footage.

Breaking: ABC News Retracts Projected Arizona Win for Biden
ABC News called the State of Arizona for Democrat Presidential candidate Joe Biden shortly after the polls closed in the state on Election Night. Now, ABC News has walked back that projection and Arizona is back in play.
With 86 percent of the vote counted in Arizona, Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden leads President Trump in the popular vote 51 percent to 48 percent. The chief locations that have delivered that lead to Biden are the counties that house Tucson and Phoenix.
But with 14 percent of the vote still remaining — and the blue stalwart counties already reported — this call appears to have been pre-mature.

Californians Reject Legalized Discrimination at the Ballot Box—despite Silicon Valley Cash
California has a reputation as a trendsetter in America, a role it apparently relishes.
If that’s the case, the resurrection of affirmative action appears dead on arrival.
Voters in the Golden State overwhelmingly rejected a measure that would have made government discrimination legal in California.
Proposition 16 sought to “repeal Proposition 209 (1996), which stated that the government and public institutions cannot discriminate against or grant preferential treatment to persons on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin in public employment, public education, and public contracting.”

Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, perhaps best known for accusing Pope Francis of covering up child sex crimes committed by Theodore McCarrick, a disgraced former American Cardinal, has penned a letter to US President Donald Trump, warning him that the ‘global elite’ are planning a “Great Reset” that, if implemented, intends to undermine “God and humanity”.
In the open letter, Viganò, the Vatican’s former ambassador to the United States, takes aim at a nefarious “global elite” which he says wants nothing more than to “subdue all of humanity, imposing coercive measures with which to drastically limit individual freedoms and those of entire populations.”
According to the Viganò, the same group of so-called “global elites” is responsible for implementing the draconian lockdowns which have destroyed the global economy and have severely restricted the movement and freedom of people around the world.

Democrats Pressure Twitter to Deplatform President Trump as Election Hangs in the Balance
As uncertainty mounts around the 2020 US presidential election result, Twitter has responded by engaging in one of its largest censorship efforts to date by taking down accounts, hiding numerous posts, and mass censoring the President.
But even this overwhelming and unprecedented level of censorship isn’t enough to appease the Democrats who are now demanding that Twitter deplatform the President until after the election is called.

OxyContin Maker Pleads Guilty and Shuts Down
At the end of October 2020, Purdue Pharma agreed to plead guilty to three federal criminal charges relating to its role in the opioid crisis, including violating a federal anti-kickback law, conspiracy to defraud the U.S. government and violating the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act.
To settle the charges, Purdue is supposed to pay $8.3 billion in fines, forfeiture of past profits and civil liability payments
The estimated financial cost of opioid addiction and death in the U.S. was $504 billion in 2015. In addition to health care costs, criminal justice costs and lost productivity due to addiction or incarceration, this figure also takes into account projected lost earnings and the value of statistical life for people who died prematurely
Because Purdue doesn’t have the cash to cover the $8.3 billion settlement, the Department of Justice negotiated a deal in which Purdue will be dissolved and its assets used to erect a “public benefit company” controlled by a trust that will “balance the trust’s interests against those of the Americ an public and public health”
In essence, the government will now be in the business of making and selling opioids, the profits from which will then be used to combat opioid addiction.

The Mainstream Media’s COVID Cover-up Continues
The mainstream media’s double standard when it comes to accuracy is undeniable to anyone with a shred of integrity. For stories that favor the Left or damage the Right, the bar couldn’t be lower. For stories that are vice-versa, however, the media’s scrutiny has no end. We’ve seen the phenomenon ad nauseam for years now, but its frequency and impact has reached a critical level. We saw it with Christine Blasey Ford and her uncorroborated accusations against Justice Brett Kavanaugh that were willingly regurgitated by Democrats and their media. We see it currently with the unfolding scanda l involving Hunter Biden, as the media scoffs at its legitimacy in spite of the validated authenticity of the emails that kick-started the whole hubbub. There is arguably no story, however, where the media’s duplicity is more evident and more detrimental than what we’ve seen regarding their report ing on COVID-19.

Twitter Censors String of President Trump’s Statements Amidst Election Drama
Twitter has been under pressure for years to censor, all the way to calls to ban President Trump from the platform; this pressure coming from his opponents. Several months ago, this highly influential social media found a “happy medium” by beginning to slap labels on Trump’s tweets that dealt with the integrity of the then upcoming vote and the possibility of fraud in light of the many procedural changes introduced for this particular election.
Now, Trump’s election night tweets are being censored on Twitter as well, for pointing out what he said were procedural irregularities, like allowing people to cast their ballots after the polling stations had already closed.

US Election is ‘War Between White and Mixed-Race Cultures, ‘ French Author Zemmour Says
In what is more than the usual differences regarding political ideologies between two candidates with fundamentally different personalities, the United States presidential election is essentially the culmination of a war of White and mixed-race cultures, influential French philosopher and author Éric Zemmour said in a political talk show on French news channel CNews.
“Beyond the ideological battles and the different personalities of [Joe] Biden and [Donald] Trump … there is a cultural war in the United States that has been going on all this year, with Black Lives Matter and the feminist movement,” Zemmour said. “I think there is a true cultural war between the traditional America — the White America — and the multicultural America.”
He added that the real background of the current debate is demographic.

What is in the Muddled Mind of the Democrat Voter?
“The hope and change the Democrats have in mind is nothing more than a retread of the failed and discredited socialist policies that have been the enemy of freedom for centuries, all over the world. I fear America is teetering towards [socialism and eventually] tyranny.” — Jim DeMint, U. S. Senator — Heritage Foundation President
At this point and possibly even several days after the election, no one really knows who is going to win the presidency in 2020, unless of course it is a landslide for one of the candidates. Like 2016, the race is too close to call. Election headquarters in several states could be counting ballot s for many days, if not weeks, or even months because of several states changing over to mail-in ballots. The uncertainty of the election triggers deep anxiety in millions of Americans and brings unsettled volatility to the markets. National turmoil is the rule of the day, which could trigger mor e violence and riots.
But let’s just say for argument’s sake that Biden has won. What motive do the Democrat voters have for voting for Joe Biden and down ballot Democrat candidates? We’re going to have our moderator, “Echoes From The Past”, ask a typical Democrat why he voted as he did.

So far, it had been reported that the radical, sentenced to 22 months in April, was released due to his young age. He was already detained in April 2019, according to Novinky.cz.

Sadiya had come under the radar of intelligence agencies in 2015, who then had de-radicalised her and let her go. Shockingly, Sadiya had revealed to intelligence officials in 2015 that she was inspired by radical Islamic terror sympathiser Zakir Naik.
A few years later, the Muslim woman again created multiple fake accounts on Facebook and other social media platforms to spread such contents.

The children cheered.
Counseling Muslim children to commit murder in response to insults to Muslim sensibilities constitutes severe psychological abuse by Western standards. One can only imagine the horror and outrage if any Western teacher did something similar in her classroom. It is worthwhile to remember the obvious: barbaric practices sanctioned by Sharia do not magically stop with migration into Western countries.

Terrorists Will Exploit Uncontrolled Migration, Says Czech Senate President
The Czech Republic should be more cautious about its migration policy to prevent terrorist attacks, said Czech Senate President Milos Vystrcil in an interview with Novinky.cz. According to him, Czechia should unite with its foreign partners to prevent the arrival of other migrants who would want to fight against the Western way of life and its freedom of religion.
On his Twitter account, he previously called the terrorist killings in the French city of Nice and the Austrian city of Vienna an attack on the very foundations of European civilization.
“At the political level, we need to re-evaluate where and under what circumstances terrorist attacks occur. And if, as part of migration policy, it is necessary for us to control who comes to our country and for what purpose. I think it is not possible for people we know nothing about to come to the European Union. It is our common duty to address this issue,” he stated.

Neanderthals and Homo sapiens were closely related, sister species who evolved from the same ancestor and co-existed for millennia.
But scientists have tussled with trying to explain why Neanderthals went extinct around 40,000 years and humans lived on.
Several theories have been put forward to explain how this happened, including competition for the same resources, such as food and shelter; Neanderthals being unable to adjust to rapid climate change; and direct confrontation.
Now it is believed a combination of all of these things contributed to the Neanderthal extinction.
But the latest data reveals the two hominin species were fighting grisly guerrilla-style battles for 100,000 years.

The blackmailable joe with the help of freebooters mos will get exactly the number of votes he desires. inshallah
nighttime curfew in Italy? This will force our culture enrichers to switch from night shift to day shift! Not easy, being used to daytime rest and activities better practised in the dark.
What the heck is going on? Arizona promised the numbers this morning. Nope, still counting. We used to manage to do it the same night and into the wee hours, counting by hand. Now they can’t do it by computers by Thursday.
Alaska and Nevada have not been announced. WTF?
The Democratic Party’s silence in the face of seemingly rampant ballot fraud begs the question as to whether the Party’s members can be trusted in positions of governmental authority at all.
If their party platform was as beneficial to all Americans as they claim, why then have they resorted to ballot fraud as their means of advancing their candidates and their agenda?
The elections for the House and Senate seats show a diminished majority in the House for the Democrats and an increased majority in the Senate for the Republicans. The voters have spoken their preferences for those who follow and abide by the rules and value integrity and good conduct over promises of a better country and government that now have been called into question.
Antifa and BLM threatened full scale rioting in every major city on Election Day and following. The silence of their rioting is deafening. Is it because their boy is the apparent winner? If that is the case then BLM and Antifa are nothing more than spoiled brats who will throw tantrums until they get their way.
Finally, where is Joe Biden in all of this? Biden his time against the outcome? If he values fairness, freedom, and good moral and ethical conduct as his speeches would have us believe, why hasn’t he repudiated the ballot fraud that has already been proven and called for elections that are totally free and fair? His silence indicts him as an accomplice after the fact, or maybe before the fact, of the ballot fraud that has been perpetrated.
Bernie Sanders did get it right, giggle, for once. Mail-In Ballots are a vehicle for ballot fraud, or maybe that was the intent to begin with.
We’ll be Ridin’ with Biden into the abyss it seems
