Lone Michigan Canvasser Holdout to Newsmax: 'Whoever Threatens the Most Wins' [The real hero in Michigan.]
NewsMax ^ | November 24, 2020 | John Gizzi

On Monday, Norm Shinkle drew national attention as the lone member of the Michigan Board of Canvassers who abstained from voting to certify the state’s 16 electoral votes for Joe Biden.

But the vote of Shinkle, a Williamston attorney and 8th District Republican chairman, came after what he called “a whole string of anonymous calls threatening my family and me, and 20 to 30 protesters on my front lawn Saturday night.”

If this was happening in my hometown, I would be standing guard at his house. If the parties were reversed, the msm would be all over it. But as it is, the support what is happening. This crap cannot stand. F* the fbi/doj.

Someday, someone, somewhere will be frightened by the yard mob and open fire. And many of us will smile warmly.

A Michigan hero, a black physician who opened fire at a lynch mob in front of his house back in 1925.

Little cautionary notice here, though. Need to cancel g00gle accounts before logging in to any g00gle sites with a VPN, or the VPN might be connected to other info about you. Same with e-mail. Don’t log into their e-mail service or use it along with a private mail service or VPN.

And a correction here. Where I wrote...

“Need to cancel g00gle accounts before logging in to any g00gle sites with a VPN”

...don’t log into them at all while using a VPN. And do cancel g00gle accounts before using a VPN.

Other than that, no privacy effort is perfect. But the object is *not* to try to evade communications metadata gathering by federal government offices that only gather information about foreign antagonistic individuals for defense.

The object is to avoid allowing big companies and criminals (including political criminals and corrupt local businesses and individuals) from gathering information about us.

Bannon said on his podcast that Barr is on vacation in South Dakota. No joke.

That’s all ok today. Just like burning and looting cities is.

I'm guessing that the removal of topics for the post above this thread might have had something to do with the fake declarations made in comments in the thread behind the following post a few days ago. I could be incorrect, though. Might have been something else.

Video: MI canvasser talks on threats made to her...
https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3908220/posts

It's like the horrid debacle of fake news in regards to Private Lynch in Iraq back in the early 2000s. I don't blame her at all and have no doubt that she was courageous. She did her job in maintenance/service/support and suffered because of lack of flank security with real combat units (generals' fault). She did what anyone in a maintenance unit would do. She tried to escape the assault.

But the Fox News girls and many other propaganda outlets went on and on about how she confronted the enemy and "shot her gun, until it was out of bullets," etc. And there was a huge Hollywood-like production about multiple special operations forces rescuing her, when it was really a lone, Iraqi doctor. It was all crazy, like amazonian feminism in general. No one in her situation would have wanted all of that kind of attention.

Abstaining is not exactly an act of heroism.

It was in this case. Follow the NewsMax link for the rest of the news on the matter. Shinkle needed to abstain for a legal reason (pending evidence), and abstention delayed certification.
