A Special Kind of Crazy
Townhall.com ^ | January 3, 2021 | Derek Hunter

Posted on 01/03/2021 5:24:53 AM PST by Kaslin

Do I believe this election was on the up-and-up? No, I do not. Can I prove it? Nope. I base my opinion on some of the election irregularities that occurred and the fact that a guy who inspires no one, had no ground game, and doesn’t know where he is half the time somehow got more votes than anyone ever, and by a lot. It doesn’t make any sense. But something not making sense doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.

There’s a difference between believing something and being able to prove it. The first part is easy, it’s the second part that causes all the problems.

In the fight over the election, proof beyond a reasonable doubt has been lacking. It’s the job of lawyers to make the case and they haven’t. They’ve made promises, lots of promises, but the follow through has not happened. With the final step in the election process set for Wednesday, it’s time to come to terms with a few things: first and foremost among them is that some people President Donald Trump relied on in the beginning of this fight were a disaster.

What Sidney Powell did for General Michael Flynn was excellent. Kudos to her. But her skills as an election lawyer leave a lot to be desired. She promised a lot, delivered…not much. Being able to string together a good conspiracy theory is helpful in creative writing class, not electoral politics.

But Powell isn’t the ultimate source of crazy in these events, that honor is reserved for Lin Wood.

Again, what Wood is known for is great – getting media outlets to pay up for smearing Nick Sandmann – but, again, that is not election law. And what someone has done in the past is not always an indication of what they’ll do in the future. In the case of Wood, it is clearly not.

For reasons no one seems to understand, Wood has morphed into a spreader of conspiracies that are beyond crazy.

Wood has gone beyond election conspiracies, in which he was rather prolific, into wild, all-encompassing conspiracies that embarrass everyone.

On December 30th Wood tweeted, “A couple of more questions for Chief Justice John Roberts:  (1) You are recorded discussing Justice Scalia’s successor before date of his sudden death. How did you know Scalia was going to die?  (2) Are you a member of any club or cabal requiring minor children as initiation fee?”

Huh?

I’m all for criticizing Roberts, but this is next-level stuff.

Then, on January 1st, he went off again. “(1) For two months we have focused on accusing the Democrats of attempting to steal the 20/20 election for Biden. We focused on the Presidential election.  We focused on the obvious.  Over time, we have learned that the Democrats were joined by CCP & other foreign countries,” said the first tweet in a thread. “(2) We have also learned that the Globalists like George Soros & the Elitists like Bill Gates were involved. CIA too (no surprise - military industrial complex). It all seemed so clear we overlooked one of the main participants in the theft of the election:   THE REPUBLICANS.”

So everyone is in on it? That’s one hell of a conspiracy theory.

How high up does it go? Almost all the way to the top, apparently. “(3) These groups aspire to the goals of Communism. A ruling elite & an oppressed class of people who exist to serve those in power.  When arrests for treason begin, put Chief Justice John Roberts, VP Mike Pence   @VP   @Mike_Pence , & Mitch McConnell  @senatemajldr  at top of list,” Wood continued.

“If Pence is arrested, @SecPompeo  will save the election. Pence will be in jail awaiting trial for treason. He will face execution by firing squad. He is a coward & will sing like a bird & confess ALL,” he concluded.

He’s one step away from accusing President Trump of being in on it.

What Wood is tweeting is a good reminder, as we start a new year, that a track record is more important than one event. What Wood did for Sandmann is great, but it is not enough for sainthood. It was a job he happened to do well, and that’s it. In between spinning wild theories and casting doubt over the validity of voting in the Georgia run-off election, the people who took it upon themselves to “help” may end up doing more damage than if they’d done nothing. If you set out to make things worse, I’m not sure how you’d do it any differently.

I reserve judgment on Wood.

I do think that a very deep game may be being played here. No one will really know until Jan 6.

I agree with this article. Too many people on this site are willing to swallow any claim of election fraud by anyone, no matter how crazy it sounds.

Derek Hunter shows what side he is on with the opening words:

Do I believe this election was on the up-and-up? No, I do not. Can I prove it? Nope.

I do think there is republicans in on the steal. Some of the last plays in the steal is having the people that are supposed to have your back turn on you. Including some on his staff asking him to concede. Powell said it months ago, she said when this comes down don’t be surprised when there are republicans mixed up in it.

They used Trump to help get and keep them in office and now they want him gone so they can go back to business as usual. You think biden is the only one that uses the Ukraine as a ATM. And china. Lots of politicians do this, that’s why they are all multimillionaires. Trump wanted to expose them so they have had to lay low for 4 years.

We have videos of them running ballots from under a table. Running stacks of ballots multiple times. Bringing in ballots with no fold marks with perfectly colored in circles for biden. Lol. The only reason this isn’t blown up is because the media is hiding it. Imagine if they reported it. If big tech didn’t delete the posts of the evidence. The cover up by the media is worse than the fraud on election night. It’s frustrating.

My question is this. Will they get away with it. I hear a lot of talk but honestly wonder if millions of people are going to gather and take these politicians and judges out of office. Are they going to the WH and take them out of office. We are talking about physical action. Voting is supposed to be the voice of the people and it’s been taken away, and if it works for them this time then it’s done. No use voting again.

Overturning an irregular election is a civil suit and the burden of proof is the preponderance of evidence. Only if the perpetrator of fraud is prosecuted for committing a crime does the standard of proof become beyond a reasonable doubt.

Anyone who needs any more proof than already exists is an idiot.

I think the author is too clever by half with this sort of rhetorical trick.

Can I prove it? Maybe not. But you don't have to. Others can and have provided the proof. But you can just skate right by all of that with a glib little "Can I prove it? Nope." Makes it sound all hopeless and stuff. Wanker.

Hunter hits it.

The only hard evidence is grainy security cameras catching vote counters feeding ballots into machines after midnight. Everything else is inference.

The whole thing smells of corruption, but this really demonstrates how the GOP is entirely unprepared for stealth combat.

What you see as grainy footage of video of the video. The actual security footage from State Farm arena is high definition.

I have a bad feeling about the 6th. We are depending on politicians to do there jobs. Lol. This may be the last stab in Trumps back. When he took office the republicans didn’t even want to work with him. They all want to go back to doing what they were doing 5 years ago. I think they contest but wonder if it’s enough. Been shot down at every level.

The media is going to try to make the people that come to DC look violent. I hear there is gonna be antifa dressed as Trump supporters. They will create problems and give the police a excuse to break it up and say it’s not peaceful protest. And if the contesting the votes don’t work I wonder what will happen. I don’t see Trump giving a order to storm the WH and physically pull the politicians out of office and take this thing over ourselves.

I am trying so hard to stay positive and glass half full. Lately it’s been half full of vodka. We have seen so much evidence that proves fraud. Supposed to be more coming, maybe Trump is waiting to drop the MOAB.

Nothing against you Kaslin

As to the posted propaganda piece...

I just ordered some armpit high waders because the Bull dung that these pieces are just getting way past waist deep.

“There’s a difference between believing something and being able to prove it. The first part is easy, it’s the second part that causes all the problems.

In the fight over the election, proof beyond a reasonable doubt has been lacking”

Throughout this missive it switches from no legal proof, not the truth that proof has been proven legally but will Not be entertained by the black robed magicians.

Then starts on trying to shift blame to others rather than giving clear and accurate reporting of witness affidavit presentations etc etc etc. On Fraud that happened.

Then we have another Q basher pipe up thinking they are funny... Give it a break with Q bashing, prepped bashing, ufo bashing. False flag caller bashing, bomber fake flag, omg there is so much they have helped expose to help, but I doubt you know at all what these people have done....

Qpeople don’t come here and bash you for your opinions, what scares you enough to be so emotionally damaged by people who may not think like you or Reason like you do, maybe you should not be so publically vocal against people, like you that are Patriots just like yourself.

Yes, I hate with a passion those who denigrate those who are on OUR side, if they, in their own way are a top tier threat to the swamp including Democrats and Uniparty they would not have ppl years before today calling for them to be named terrorists, what threat are they.

Are the lefts powers that be seeking You to be designated a terrorist...no...

I got big shoulders, and way past over watching our OWN people dumping on our own people so Now you know who is gonna slap at you if you want to do that.

I don’t know any of the crew on Q or the chans... Though I can assure you 90% of all proven fake news or false flag event bustings that are reported and exposed come from their work.. not yours.

Told you I am not PC...

Kind of like trying to prove that the dealer claims to have 3 aces when the dealer is allowed to never show you his cards and can keep the deck and destroy both so there’s never any way to know if the aces he declared were ever in the deck he used, much less in his hand.

Man I wish people with your kind of negativity would just shut down your computer for the next week or so.

EXACTLY who do these kind of posts help?

Biden and the left, that’s who.

plenty of evidence for fraud....certifying “proof” on the other hand requires at the very least a willing court-which we have yet to see.

Sorry. Not trying to bring anything or anyone down. Still holding out hope. And will continue to do so. Just hate at every turn that they have stabbed us in the back. It’s so blatant and obvious in all these states and these politicians have the sack to say nothing to see here. And the freaking media is helping them. I do think Trump has more bombs to drop and is perhaps holding them back so they can’t say they debunked it. At some point the media won’t be able to hide it anymore.
