Mike Lindell Promises to 'Expose Everything' After Huge Ruling From Judge
MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell is promising that a new ruling in Georgia will "expose everything" and vindicate those like him who have made claims about election fraud.
"This is going to expose everything," Lindell told Steve Bannon on Bannon's War Room podcast Monday. "The judge has opened the door that no man can shut."
Earlier this month, District Judge Amy Totenberg, an Obama appointee, issued a ruling that granted a bench trial for a long-running lawsuit seeking to rid Georgia of its electronic voting machines in favor of hand-marked paper ballots. Lindell celebrated Totenberg's ruling, which denied the state's request for her to rule based on the arguments and facts of the case and without a trial.
Lindell has been especially excited about a footnote in the judge's ruling, which said that the evidence in the case "does not suggest that the Plaintiffs are conspiracy theorists of any variety" and that some of the nation's leading cybersecurity experts and computer scientists provided evidence that Georgia's voting system poses a threat to the constitutional rights of voters to cast their votes and have those votes accurately counted. — Newsweek
Our Take: “The bench trial in Curling v. Raffensberger is set for January 2024, though Judge Totenberg has urged the state legislature to take action about the ‘varied challenges’ with the current voting system. This comes after Georgia’s coordinated election early this month was plagued with issues across a number of counties.
This case has been spinning in the legal system since 2017, so the timing is interesting. It provides another opportunity in which evidence of election fraud can finally be heard in court.
All eyes on Georgia’s election battles in the courts. We’re reaching the tipping point.” —
JFK Assassination Doctors Break Silence, Dispute Key Government Claim
Several doctors who were in the emergency room when former President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963 raised serious doubts about the official narrative that says a lone gunman was responsible, according to a new documentary featuring interviews conducted in 2013.
The federal Warren Commission established that two shots fired by lone gunman Lee Harvey Oswald, who was located in the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository, struck President Kennedy from behind as he was traveling in a motorcade in Dallas. One of the bullets entered his upper back and exited near his larynx, while the second bullet entered the right side of his head and exited via his forehead.
The former president was breathing when he entered Parkland Hospital before he was pronounced dead about a half an hour later. However, what seven doctors said in the recent footage disputes the commission's claims about the event.
Jacquelynn Lueth, executive producer of "JFK: What the Doctors Saw," interviewed the seven Parkland doctors for the documentary. She wrote for CBS News last week that the doctors' "recollections were precise and clear, as if the intervening decades had melted away."
"Each of them reacted strongly when the autopsy pictures were projected on a screen," Ms. Lueth wrote. "They didn't agree on everything, but it became obvious that the way the president looked at Parkland did not match the autopsy photos taken at Bethesda even before the official autopsy began."
She added that the Parkland doctors "had no agenda other than trying to save the president's life" but stipulated that those who witnessed the wound to the president's neck "believed it was an entrance wound," which would dispute the Warren Commission's findings. "Several of them saw a gaping hole in the back of JFK's head," she said. — The Epoch Times
Our Take: “The JFK Assassination is a prime cultural, political and historical inflection point not just in the United States, but in the global Collective Mind.
I've long argued that its disclosure could provide one of the most powerful mass unification points in world history, uniting people across parties, religions and most importantly, generations.
Not only is Kennedy the most popular 'liberal' President in American history, but his policies and public rhetoric (even if not his demeanor) has largely been mirrored by Donald Trump and his Administration.
JFK is the rare Dem that Republican voters either outright adore or at least accept as an outsider to the true Deep State hegemon that has infected this nation for decades, and that appeared to 'go hot' with his assassination.
Trump has periodically teased DECLAS where it concerns Kennedy. I don't believe this is populist bait or low-hanging fruit.
I think it's tactical. I think it's coming.
And I think it will herald mass Awakening.
It all has the feeling to me of a timed, coordinated rollout.
Trump has provided just enough DECLAS to keep the wheels greased, but in order to bring about mass cultural catharsis regarding what is arguably the most traumatic event in the nation's history outside of 9/11, the smoking gun needs to lead back to those responsible for the planning.
Most in this community have firm, educated guesses on who those figures might be, and we all agree that, whoever it was, they were the heirs to the current paragons of deceit and corruption who would rule over us, but the Normie Layer of the Collective Mind needs to be brought up to speed, and that truth needs to be codified.
Trump's best motto is, 'Promises Made, Promises Kept.'
He's in the process of keeping his promise re: JFK, but it hasn't actually crossed the finish line, yet.
When it does, I think it will be both a crescendo and a tipping point, an ending of one phase and the start of another.
And Anons will be the frame & support.” —
Party of far-right populist set for stunning victory in Dutch election
He has called Islam a "backward religion," he's named the prophet Mohammad a "pedophile," he wants to ban mosques and now Geert Wilders and his party are poised to win the Dutch national election by a wide margin.
Wilders, a politician who has made a name for himself through his anti-Islam and anti-European Union rhetoric, appears to be in the lead in the Netherlands' election with the most parliamentary seats, according to early results. "The Dutch voter has spoken," said the 60-year-old in a victory speech Wednesday evening at a café in The Hague, "We will ensure that the Netherlands will return to the Dutch."
Early election results show Wilders' Party for Freedom winning 37 seats in the 150-seat Dutch parliament, 12 seats ahead of its closest rival, the Labor-Green Alliance led by EU climate policy veteran Frans Timmerman.
Still, with fewer than a quarter of seats in the national parliament, Wilders will now have the first shot at approaching other parties to try and form a coalition government. It won't be easy. Most parties have vowed not to govern with Wilders due to his extremist views.
In addition to wanting to remove the Netherlands from the European Union, Wilders inflammatory views on Islam have prompted death threats and he has lived under police protection for years. His comments have led to protests in countries with large Muslim populations and in Pakistan a religious leader issued a Fatwa against him. — NPR
Our Take: “We've been told that the Awakening will spread worldwide, which is one of the most beautifully ironic twists of the sovereign knife in the heart of the Globalist vampires who have and would lord over us.
This week, we've seen a stunning victory in Argentina (population: 46 million) by an an anarcho-capitalist endorsed by Donald Trump, and now, it's being followed up by what the MSM is calling a 'stunning' victory by the Dutch Conservative Freedom party and its lead lawmaker, Geert Wilders in a margin nobody but the sovereign-minded population (18 million) of the Netherlands saw coming.
The kicker?
Both campaigns in both hemispheres ran on platforms built on nationalism, free trade, decentralization and, yes, strong borders.
I think we're seeing something of a clever inversion in the worldwide political timeline.
Donald Trump kicked off this Sovereign movement in 2016 ... and it appears he'll be the one who puts the final nail in the coffin of the Globalist machine circa 2024.” —
Conor McGregor calls Ireland for war hours before mass stabbing in Dublin, riots erupt
The great city of Dublin, Ireland is currently engulfed in chaos and riots just hours after rallying tweet from Conor McGregor. Five people that included three children were stabbed right outside a school on Thursday afternoon. Presumably an Algerian immigrant who was neutralized after the killing spree. As a result of the horror this generated in the Irish people, Dublin locals decided to riot and make parts of the city impossible to transit. Conor McGregor's call to war is one of many from Irish locals who don't agree with the country's mass immigration indulgence from the government. Conor wrote a series of tweets about this topic and complained against the current government.
Conor McGregor complains about immigrants voting in Ireland
What Conor McGregor is complaining about is actually happening, he said that non-residents can vote during an election process in Ireland. A tweet directed at all the immigrants currently pouring through the Irish borders. He asked: "US allows non residents to vote? Visitors can vote? I can fly in now and register a vote in the United States elections? Surely not. However, Ireland's current government is proposing this. A disgrace! A shame! Hang their heads in shame! The Working man is the real hero! Ireland, we are at war. Do not let any irish property be took over unannounced. Evaporate said property. It's a war."
What Conor McGregor wrote less than 24 hours ago is becoming more relevant after the tragedy happened in the city of Dublin. While a part of the population doesn't agree with his point of view, these riots prove that the Irish people are not happy with the current immigration situation in the country. But newsflash, this is a phenomenon happening throughout Europe due to the two wars happening in Palestine and Ukraine. In their attempts to help the displaced immigrants, they are also turning their own people against their governments. Many are already calling for McGregor to run for office in his country. Could tonight's events persuade him to become a politician? Stay tuned for more info on this. — Marca
Our Take: “Dublin is on fire as I write this. The media is blaming ‘the far right,’ while influencers like UFC fighter Connor McGregor are, rightly, declaring that the citizens of Ireland are at war with their government.
The chaos and violence is a reminder about the inevitable outcomes of open borders immigration. Communities across Europe have been flooded with migrants who don’t share their values or their way of life — and now children are being stabbed in the street.
Now consider that US borders are less secure than Ireland’s, and you quickly become a conspiracy theorist like the rest of us. Our community infrastructure cannot absorb the numbers of migration alone, but the numbers are only one part of the problem.
The lack of cultural assimilation — and the impotence of government officials, drunk on equity, to require such assimilation — is a recipe for Ireland’s woes to play out across the US. It’s a tinderbox, and there are way too many bad actors holding matches. Never let a crisis go to waste.” —
"Japs, Jewry And Trannies": Media Matters President's Bigoted Blogs Resurface Amid Spat With Musk
On Monday, Elon Musk's X sued Media Matters, claiming that the David Brock-founded leftist 'watchdog' group manipulated the platform to show major ads next to Nazi imagery, causing a flood of advertisers to leave the platform.
"The end result was a feed precision-designed by Media Matters for a single purpose: to produce side-by-side ad/content placements that it could screenshot in an effort to alienate advertisers," causing "all but one of the companies featured in the Media Matters piece withdrawing all ads from X, including Apple, Comcast, NBCUniversal, and IBM—some of X’s largest advertisers."
The move by Media Matters was a successful attempt to brand Elon Musk and his platform as antisemitic, after Musk took fire for agreeing with a post suggesting that liberal Jews - who "have been pushing the exact kind of dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them," are now on the receiving end of things.
Japs, Jewry And Trannies
What happened next couldn't have been better scripted in pre-woke Hollywood. It turns out that Media Matters President Angelo Carusone wrote super antisemitic blog posts in the early 2000s, which were uncovered by the Daily Caller's Peter Hasson in 2019, and have been making the rounds of late given the Musk controversy. — ZeroHedge
Our Take: “I often refer to the concept of the ‘Ouroboros Serpent’ from mythology when discussing the Hegelian death spiral I feel that we can observe within the Deep State’s System of Systems, and I think this spiral pattern is most easily observed within the realm of the Media Industrial Complex.
The Info War and the Shadow War are a mix of Actuals and Narratives, with the two often informing and converging with each other.
In the case of Musk’s suit against Media Matters, the American public is not only being educated on the true coordination within the controlled Narrative arm of the Deep State, but also in its underlying falsity and hypocrisy.
Now … it’s going to be fascinating, and perhaps fun for a change to see how all of this plays out.
Anons aren’t on the online hot seat these days; it’s time for the other side to get a turn.
Payback’s a bitch, but only if you’re on the wrong side of it.” —

Fiery Rainbow Bridge car crash at US-Canada border kills 2; terrorism ruled out
A speeding car crashed in flames on the bridge linking New York state and Ontario at Niagara Falls on Wednesday, killing two people in the vehicle and sparking a security scare that closed four U.S.-Canadian border crossings.
Hours later, federal and state authorities said investigators had found no evidence of an act of terrorism, though circumstances surrounding the crash on the Rainbow Bridge remained murky, leaving it to be determined whether it was accidental or intentional.
"At this time, there is no indication of a terrorist attack" or threat to the public, New York Governor Kathy Hochul told reporters on Wednesday evening. Her comments were echoed by federal and local law enforcement officials at a separate news conference.
The FBI said in a statement it had concluded its investigation. "A search of the scene revealed no explosive materials, and no terrorism nexus was identified," the FBI said in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Video of the crash caught on security camera and posted to X by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agency showed the car traveling from the U.S. side at high speed, then hitting an object and flying into the air before crashing to the ground and exploding in flames.
The driver and a passenger perished in the wreck, and a CBP officer suffered minor injuries. He was treated at a hospital and released, an agency official said later.
Authorities did not identify the two people killed. CNN reported the driver was a 56-year-old man who was traveling in a Bentley automobile with his wife to attend a concert by the rock group KISS. — Reuters
Supreme Court Weighs Taking Up Another Major 2nd Amendment Case
Department of Justice wants high court to find that felons lose Second Amendment rights because of disregard of the law whether or not they're violent.
The U.S. Department of Justice wants the U.S. Supreme Court to deny a Pennsylvania man his Second Amendment rights for making false statements to obtain food stamps in 1995 in Garland v. Range.
Although the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals found in his favor, lawyers for Bryan David Range are joining the DOJ in seeking to probe the limits of the June 2022 decision in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen.
The high court hasn't decided whether to hear the case.
According to court documents, in 1995, Mr. Range’s wife understated their household income on an application for public assistance. Mr. Range took responsibility for the act and pleaded guilty to making a false statement when applying for food stamps in the Court of Common Pleas of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
He was sentenced to three years of probation.
Court records show he completed his sentence without incident. He also paid $2,458 in restitution, $288.29 in costs, and a $100 fine. — The Epoch Times
Five Days Of Chaos Over? Sam Altman Returns As OpenAI CEO
Five days of chaos at the world's most valuable startup appears to have ended. OpenAI announced on social media platform X early Wednesday morning that Sam Altman will return as CEO, along with an overhaul of the company's board.
"We have reached an agreement in principle for Sam Altman to return to OpenAI as CEO," OpenAI posted on X around 0100 ET. Also, a shakeup of the board was announced: "A new initial board of Bret Taylor (Chair), Larry Summers, and Adam D'Angelo."
Altman posted on X, "I love openai, and everything i've done over the past few days has been in service of keeping this team and its mission together. when i decided to join msft on sun evening, it was clear that was the best path for me and the team. with the new board and w satya's support, i'm looking forward to returning to openai, and building on our strong partnership with msft."
The decision to bring Altman back and reshuffle the board will appease the plus 700 employees who signed a letter saying they might quit and join OpenAI's biggest shareholder, Microsoft unless all directors resign and Altman is reinstated.
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella supported the move: "We are encouraged by the changes to the OpenAI board. We believe this is a first essential step on a path to more stable, well-informed, and effective governance. Sam, Greg, and I have talked and agreed they have a key role to play along with the OAI leadership team in ensuring OAI continues to thrive and build on its mission. We look forward to building on our strong partnership and delivering the value of this next generation of AI to our customers and partners." — ZeroHedge

Melei won in Argentina BECAUSE the election was all paper ballots and all in one day and the outcome was known in the same day. If an entire country, the second largest is South America, can do it, so can the state of Georgia.
Very interesting Takes today.
BB, I have often thought about what will be the 1st BOOM to start all the dominos falling. I had never considered the Truth about JFK's assassination as a possible 1st BOOM but your Take makes a lot of sense. Having lived through that event I know the impact it had on this country but was not sure it's impact is/was felt through to the current generations. But the exposition of his murderers would certainly impact all the sleeping Democrats. Very interesting.
Ashe, I would love to see Mike Lindell get his time exposing evidence in court!
Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
We are gearing up for Shop Local at our stores... should be fun.
God Wins!!!
God Bless!!!
