Before It Had a Vested Interest in Lying: Watch This CNN Bombshell Report on SmartMatic/Dominion

Still believe that everything is on the up and up with Dominion and SmartMatic, and that you’re getting the straight skinny from CNN and the rest of the nation’s corrupt national news media?

Well, take a look at this CNN report from back in the pre-Trump days exposing how SmartMatic and Dominion hardware and software were manipulated to throw the Venezuelan national election to socialist Hugo Chavez:

U.S. Oil Industry Has Bigger Problems than Biden Fracking Ban

The U.S. oil business has bigger potential problems than Joe Biden’s promised fracking ban. There is no doubt that the Biden/Harris promise to ban hydraulic fracturing on federal lands and waters would severely hamper the nation’s oil and gas business sector.

In addition to curtailing about 20% of U.S. oil production that comes from federal leases, such a move would cause capital flight away from oil projects in the U.S., regardless of land type since it would send a signal that government policy in a Biden administration would present a high degree of risk and uncertainty. This is an outcome an already capital-strapped industry can ill-afford.

But as impactful as that potential problem would be, U.S. oil and gas producers face an even larger looming headache this morning: Uncertainty about the continuation of the OPEC+ agreement, the deal among large oil producing countries to limit output and exports onto the global market. The existence of that agreement currently has its member nations withholding about 7.7 million barrels of crude per day from the market. It is the main reason why the current U.S. benchmark price for West Texas Intermediate, which currently hovers above $45 per barrel, hasn’t collapsed back down below the $20/bbl mark.

Tuesday News Roundup: Arizona Shenanigans Show Why Trump is Fighting a Longshot Battle

Dear Joe DiGenova: You are not being helpful. – Why the President would entertain having Joe DiGenova as a part of his legal team in the election fraud fight is anyone’s guess. But it turned into a big fiasco during yesterday’s informal fact-finding hearing in Arizona. Jonathan Turley summed up my feelings on the matter pretty succinctly:

…It does not help our political situation (or the President's legal case) to engage in such hyperbole. This country is a virtual powder keg and, while I do not believe that he was calling for violence, the distinction will be lost on some in these dangerous times.
— Jonathan Turley (@JonathanTurley) December 1, 2020

Not helpful, Joe. Not helpful at all. Go away.

As for the rest of that hearing, legislators in attendance heard tons of testimony from witnesses to the rampant election fraud efforts that went down in their state – especially in Maricopa County – on Election Day. A parade of witnesses testified to abuse of the process by Democrat election officials and regarding the insecurities of the Dominion Systems machines and software in use in Arizona.

Unfortunately for the Trump effort, the only part of the hearing that got any traction with the corrupt news media was DiGenova’s idiotic outburst, so the hearing did little to advance the Trump cause. It’s important to note here that, like the hearing held last Friday in Pennsylvania, this was not a formal hearing called by the Speaker of the House or Senate President in Arizona, which would have been extraordinary given that the legislature there is not currently in session.

As a result, despite the promises given by the Republican members in attendance to seek a special session to reconsider the state’s process for choosing its electors, there is very little likelihood for that actually taking place, just as there is virtually zero chance that GOP legislators in Pennsylvania or any of the other states in question will summon the political will to act.

I have warned you all along that the courts are literally the President’s only chance at reversing these election results, and his court cases are long shots as well. That is not because his cause isn’t just – it clearly is – but because getting any legislature or court to act to do the right thing here requires an extraordinary act of political or judicial courage on their part.

The vast majority of GOP politicians and judges are cowards at heart. They talk a good game but seldom possess the courage to follow through in their official actions. There are 10 dozen Lamar Alexanders and Lisa Murkowskis in the GOP for every Ted Cruz or Rand Paul.

Any legislator or judge who acts to overturn these reported election results is going to come under withering assault from potentially violent leftist activists and the entirety of our corrupt media establishment. It is a rare politician or judge indeed who will be willing to invite such an assault on themselves and their family members by acting to do the right thing.

Instead, we are almost certain to see the public posturing by legislators we have seen thus far in PA, AZ and Michigan, but that will be followed by a decided lack of real action. Where the judiciary is concerned, the U.S. Supreme Court is really the only hope for the President and his supporters. We can be certain that John Roberts will timidly side with the three communist justices on the court, meaning that every one of the five conservative members would have to hold together in the face of the media/Democrat assault.

A new poll this week shows that 47% of Americans now believe – correctly – that this was a stolen election. But there remains very little good reason to be optimistic that any of the fraud will be reversed. That’s just me dealing with reality, folks. You should all deal with it, too.

Here’s a great example of that sad reality. – Arizona Governor Mike Ducey, a nominal Republican, eagerly certified the state’s election results as the informal hearing was taking place, and promised to quickly swear-in Democrat Mark Kelley to take over the senate seat currently held by Republican Martha McSally, who Kelly supposedly defeated in the election. Because that’s the kind of thing fake Republicans like Ducey do.

Here’s an excerpt from a report at Mediaite, noting that Ducey apparently ignored a last minute call from the President himself while in the process of pandering to his Democrat masters:

Arizona Governor Doug Ducey received a phone call in the middle of a live broadcast of an election certifying ceremony that confirmed his state’s electors would vote for President-elect Joe Biden. Ducey blew off the phone call, which, judging by the ringtone and Gov. Ducey’s previous account, was a phone call directly from President Donald Trump.
That’s right. Trump appeared to make a last-ditch phone call to Gov. Ducey to keep him from certifying the election results, and the governor ignored the call. The most embarrassing part? It was captured on camera.
The moment was first noted by Arizona local news host Brahm Resnik, which the producers at Morning Joe cleverly cut with footage with Ducey’s prior admission that he had customized the ringtone on his phone to play Hail to the Chief every time President Trump rang him directly. As you can see and hear in the footage above, the incoming call’s ringtone is definitely Hail to the Chief.
[End]

Note to Arizona voters: When presented by your state GOP with limp-wristed RINO candidates like Doug Ducey, just vote for the Democrat instead. You will be less disgusted with the results of your actions.

Over in Georgia, the Secretary of State who keeps bragging about how “secure” his election was, Brad Raffensperger, admitted on Monday that his office is investigating no less than “250 cases of credible claims” of election fraud.

From a report at DailyWire:

“As we move forward in the process, we will, as we always have been, we will continue to investigate credible claims of illegal voting and violation of state election law,” Raffensperger said. “There are currently over 250 open cases from 2020 and we have 23 investigators to follow up on that. Some of these include, a charge Gwinnett County that absentee ballots outnumber absentee envelopes. This is the kind of specific charge that our office can investigate and ascertain the truth.”
“We have multiple investigations underway surrounding absentee ballots in Fulton, Gwinnett, Cobb, and many others. We continue our investigations into potential dead, double voters, and non-resident voters,” he continued. “As we move to the December 1^st election, which is tomorrow, and the January 5^th federal runoffs, we have to remain vigilant.”
“That is why I’m announcing an investigation into third party groups working to register people in other states to vote here in Georgia,” he added. “We have opened an investigation into a group called America Votes who is sending absentee ballot applications to people at addresses where they have not lived since 1994; Vote Forward, who attempted to register a dead Alabama voter, a woman, to vote here in Georgia; The New Georgia Project, who sent voter registration applications to New York City, at Operation New Voter Registration Georgia, who is telling college students in Georgia that they can change their residency to Georgia and then change it back after the election.”
Raffensperger concluded the press conference by repeatedly reminding people that committing election fraud in Georgia, which includes voting in the state when a person is not a resident of the state, is a felony.
[End]

Oh. So, maybe the election wasn’t all that “secure” after all, huh?

Be careful about this one, though: Anyone expecting Raffensperger and his investigators to really conduct good-faith investigations of all of these myriad claims of fraud should remember that this is the man who has steadfastly refused to conduct anything resembling a real audit of absentee and mail-in ballots in his state.

This guy is part of the problem, not a part of any solution.

Good to see CNN latching onto reality here. – While all of that was going on, the despicable news-fakers at CNN suddenly discovered what the rest of us have understood since February: That China has not exactly been up-front with the rest of the world where COVID-19 is concerned.

The Ideology Now Running the Democratic Party Looks Like a Classic Cult

Guest Piece by Karen Kataline

Every camera phone these days has a feature that can flip the focus from “selfie” to the outside world for a more conventional shot. All of it done with a quick touch to the screen.

That’s as good a high-tech explanation as any of projection in the psychological sense.

Apart from deliberate projection, which is regularly used as a political tactic as per Saul Alinsky, there is the more classic and unconscious projection that happens among true believers of the same ilk.

Take a look at what happens when one of those believers is caught telling the truth about what he’d like to do to Trump voters: DNC member David Atkins openly suggesting that 75 million Americans need to be “deprogrammed.”

While Atkins wonders how anyone could be a Trump supporter, many of us wonder how a leftist who may have been initially attracted to feel-good ideas like “tolerance” and “diversity” could publicly advocate forceful “deprogramming” of 75 million of his fellow citizens (in refugee camps? concentration camps?) for the sin of disagreeing with him about a political candidate. How does that happen?

Here’s a little of how projection works: Most of us are capable of powerful emotions. We also have emotions about our powerful emotions, which complicates matters even further. This can terrify people, especially if they already have trouble distinguishing between thoughts, feelings and actions. How could I have such horrible, evil, hateful thoughts? Does that make me evil too?

Among the variety of responses possible when emotions become too intense or painful for a person to tolerate is a kind of flip of focus — just like that camera. The subject disowns his uncomfortable or embarrassing feelings and quite unconsciously attributes them to others — often to the person or group on which he has already been so intensely focused.

It’s much easier to feel justified in advocating full-blown persecution of those he hates if he can view himself as a victim. To add insult to injury, this is all in the name of “tolerance.”

What happens when true victims of a paranoia-fueled vendetta are themselves called paranoid? How do we know who to believe?

Do you think leftism is like a cult?

Kyle Rittenhouse in Kenosha and the McCloskeys in St. Louis know firsthand how the propaganda media works full-time to confuse the public about who are the criminals and who are the law-abiding citizens.

The inability to distinguish or accept the origins of one’s rage is a building block of paranoia and persecution complexes.

A culture that positively values personal responsibility rather than collective guilt is infinitely healthier not just politically but psychologically.

Atkins goes on to project another charge against Trump supporters, claiming they are in a “death cult against reality & basic decency.”

If ever there were an ideology that resembles a classic cult, it is the leftism, socialism and communism of today, which now control much of what used to be the Democratic Party.

In 2017, I outlined some of the more obvious comparisons in an article about how liberalism is like a cult.

Cults feed and grow off collectivism and groupthink. That is why they must always demonize dissent, individuality and personal responsibility.

Remember when the left lectured us (when do they not?) about “Hate, hate — we have to root out hate!” That should have been our first clue that they were getting ready to unleash an avalanche of hate upon us, and they did.

The pattern is so often repeated that we can just about predict what they’ll do by watching what they accuse everyone else of next.

For his mental health and our safety, David Atkins and others like him need to flip their cameras to “selfie.” That, or take a good, long look in the mirror.

Monday News Roundup: Fulton County, Georgia is Ground Zero for the Creation of the U.S. Banana Republic

[Note: For those who need their dose of mind-numbingly fake news about Joe Potato Head Biden and his dogs, I’ve covered all of that nonsense in a separate story this morning.]

China Traitor Quid Pro Joe Biden and his team of anti-American globalist leftists will love this story from DailyWire:

Chinese Sociologist: We’ll Soon Surpass U.S., ‘U.S. Will Not Survive,’ We’ll ‘Drive U.S. To Its Death’ https://t.co/vvvWzRXJJo pic.twitter.com/1hNltnQhKj
— The Daily Wire (@realDailyWire) November 30, 2020

Here’s an excerpt:

A Chinese sociologist recently delivered marks at a forum reportedly in Shenzhen where he declared that it was only a matter of time before China overtakes the United States and effectively puts an end to it.
The remarks from Dr. Li Yi were reported by MEMRI TV, a research organization that normally tracks Islamic extremism around the world and anti-Semitism.
…
The most inflammatory quotes from the speech include:
“It turns out that China is going to overtake the United States in 2027. It was said that this might be delayed for a year or two, but this year, God has pulled off a little trick, right? God created COVID-19 and spread it to every country in the world.”
“COVID-19 is bad for Europe and America, but it is beneficial for North Korea and China.”
“We still have 4,000 dead, right? But if 4,000 (Chinese) die versus 220,000 in the United States, we haven’t really lost a single person, have we? We’re close to zero infections and zero deaths. If 4,000 people out of 1.4 billion die, that’s the same as no one getting sick and no one dying.”
“In the global economy, China stands out. We are ahead of schedule in terms of overtaking the United States. There will be no problem reaching this goal in 2027. The U.S. will not survive.”
[End]

You can bet the people at Camp Biden are looking at each other suspiciously this morning, wondering who it was that leaked their entire plan for the next four years of foreign policy to this Chinese sociologist.

My goodness.

The Russians are all smiles these days, as well. – China isn’t the only enemy of the U.S. that will benefit hugely from a Biden globalist foreign policy shift: The Russians are all happy as clams these days as well. After all, Russia’s entire economy is dependent on its oil and natural gas industry, and Biden’s plans to demolish the U.S. industry will redound to Putin’s benefit to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars each year.

Oh, hey, here is Jen Pasaki, Biden’s candidate to become White House Communications Director, paling around with a John Kerry and a pair of prominent Russian officials while wearing a pink hammer and sickle hat a few years ago:

Hooboy. I’m guessing that a Biden Department of Justice won’t be appointing a special counsel to look into all of that Russia collusion.

Meanwhile, in COVID-19 world… – Look, y’all: Anthony Fauci has suddenly decided the schools should be reopened now that Election Day is safely behind us:

Fauci: “Look at the data, the spread from children and among children is not very big at all, not like one would have suspected” pic.twitter.com/dnnihLuo7r

Literally everyone on earth who has been paying attention to all of this COVID nonsense knew all of what Fauci said on Sunday morning months ago. This man is a menace to our entire way of life, and his influence would only grow larger in a Biden administration. Truly frightening.

The Devil went down to Georgia, he was lookin’ for a vote to steal… – Lots of really bad stuff went down in Georgia on Sunday, where Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger did nothing as Fulton County election officials “reset” the Dominion voting machines in blatant effort to erase all records related to the general election from them.

They did all of that in spite of judge’s order to halt the process:

BREAKING UPDATE: Judge Timothy Batten Issues Order to Freeze All Dominion Machines in Georgia! https://t.co/N0wfilvWfF via @gatewaypundit
— Catturd ™ (@catturd2) November 29, 2020

The initial claim from Raffensperger’s election officials was that they were resetting the machines – in the midst of a general election recount, mind you – to get them ready for the January senate runoff elections. When that lame explanation wouldn’t fly, election officials then began claiming late Sunday afternoon that the Dominion Systems Mobil server had crashed:

"Fulton County elections officials confirmed to 11Alive on Sunday that a newly-purchased Dominion Voting Systems mobile server had crashed earlier in the day."
"Technicians from Dominion have been dispatched to resolve the issue."https://t.co/3VtEJaAOdp
— Jeff Carlson (@themarketswork) November 30, 2020

Here’s an excerpt from that story at 11Alive News:

ATLANTA — The push to complete a recount requested by President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign has hit a snag in Georgia’s most populous county as the statewide deadline looms.
Fulton County elections officials confirmed to 11Alive on Sunday that a newly-purchased Dominion Voting Systems mobile server had crashed earlier in the day.
“Technicians from Dominion have been dispatched to resolve the issue,” Fulton County officials said in a statement. “The Georgia Secretary of State’s office has also been alerted to the issue and is aware of efforts to resolve the problem.”
The county plans to resume its counting process on Monday morning. So far, Fulton suggests its teams have already concluded the counting of absentee, early in-person, and provisional ballots – 88 percent of ballots cast.
[End]

“Technicians from Dominion have been dispatched to resolve the issue.” Oh, boy, that really makes us all feel better, doesn’t it?

Once again, we see Sec. of State Raffensperger – with the willing cooperation of Governor Brian Kemp – conducting the very same sham, meaningless “recount” of the November ballots that has already been done once before. It does not include a real audit of those ballots, including signature matching, that would be needed to really expose the fraud. So, even though everyone should be outraged by the fact that the Democrat election officials were resetting the servers in the midst of the recount, the fact is that this entire process is another distraction by a corrupt Sec. State and Governor.

But because the corrupt news media refuses to report any of it honestly, they have no political price to pay for their betrayal of the American people. In the meantime, the fix is obviously already in for those January runoffs, and the Democrat election officials have no doubt already begun producing the “ballots” they will need to ensure that both of their candidates come out the “winners.”

Georgia has become ground zero for the establishment of the American Banana Republic.

That is all.

For the Corrupt News Media, It’s All Dog News All the Time Where Joe Biden is Concerned

Some days it almost doesn’t pay to get up out of bed. – The big, breaking news stories involving Creepy Uncle China Joe Potato Head Biden over the weekend all had something or other to do with his dogs. See, he and his creepy wife Jill are planning to bring a couple of dogs with them to live at the White House, and your corrupt fake despicable leftist activist news media wants you to believe this is big news.

Oh, and he’s bringing a cat with him, too, for all of my fellow cat people out there.

You are expected to believe this is all very big news in order to distract you from the real news of more and more proof of massive Democrat election fraud coming to light, and to give the fake reporters an excuse to not report on all of that. See, the dogs are much more interesting.

Right? Right.

Anyway, just the fact of the dogs and cat coming to the White House in January wasn’t enough to keep up the charade, since no thinking person gives a damn about any of that. So it was that late on Sunday, “news” broke that Joe Potato Head had injured his ankle, or maybe his foot, or maybe both while playing with – you guessed it – his dogs! Because, dogs, everybody! Dogs!!!!! Yay!!!!!!!!!

Initial reports had Biden twisting his ankle, but that turned out to not be sensational enough to serve the media’s purpose here. The reports then morphed within a few hours to Biden spraining his ankle, but that wasn’t good enough either. The fake story just wasn’t getting any traction out there in social media land.

Finally, the media and the Biden people who had supposedly sat on the story for 24 hours before the shocking “news” broke, convinced his doctor to say that, although the initial tests showed no evidence of any fracture, follow-up tests now indicated that the elderly, dementia-addled presumptive president-elect had in fact suffered hairline fractures in a couple of bones in his spindly foot.

From a story at the Chicago Sun-Times:

President-elect Joe Biden fractured his right foot while playing with one of his dogs, an injury discovered in a scan Sunday and that will likely require him to wear a boot for several weeks, his doctor said.
Biden suffered the injury on Saturday and visited an orthopedist in Newark, Delaware, on Sunday afternoon, his office said.
“Initial x-rays did not show any obvious fracture,” but medical staff ordered a more detailed CT scan, his doctor, Kevin O’Connor, said in a statement. The subsequent scan found tiny fractures of two small bones in the middle of his right foot, O’Connor said.
“It is anticipated that he will likely require a walking boot for several weeks,” O’Connor said.
End]

Wait, a boot? Hey, remember these other prominent Deep State politicians who ended up wearing boots just like the one Joe Potato Head will be wearing? Take a look:

Oh, yeah, you remember, right? Do you also remember how McCain forgot one day which foot to put the boot on and wore it on the wrong foot?

Take a gander:

Yeah, the ol’ medical boot trick to curry public sympathy. Good times…good times….

How long do you think it will take before Biden forgets which foot to put his boot on? His elder abusing staff has no doubt already assigned an entire team to do nothing but monitor the boot.

But that wasn’t all of the Biden dog-related news to which we were treated this past weekend. Oh, no, that unfortunately was just the tip of a fake news iceberg.

As Joseph Curl reports at JustTheNews, those fake stories were followed up by a real whopper at The Daily Beast:

From the “you can’t make this up” file comes this headline from The Daily Beast: “Joe Biden’s Dogs Have Told This Pet Psychic a Lot About Their Beloved Master, and His Future.”
The subhead says: “Pet psychic Beth Lee-Crowther says Joe Biden’s dogs, Major and Champ, told her they are excited to live in the White House. They also say their master will be ‘a great president.'”
Seriously.
“The Biden White House has sprung its first leaks,” the Beast piece says. “But what can be done when the leakers are the president-elect’s beloved dogs, and they are communicating telepathically with a pet psychic in the English Midlands?”
Lee-Crowther hasn’t ever met the dogs, but viewing their pictures, she said “she forged a close relationship with Biden’s dogs — and wow, did they ever dish about their owner, as well as a ‘ramping-up’ of his troubles with the non-conceding President Trump, moving into the White House, their master’s calmness, and even Biden’s plans to govern.”
[End]

So, friends and neighbors, this is the “normalcy” your corrupt, fake, anti-American news media wants to take us all for the next four years. I can already feel my brain cells melting away.

That is all.

You are Being Gaslighted by the Media – An Explainer

Gaslighting Explained – Author Unkown

[NOTE: I received the explainer below in an email from a friend this week. It has been making the rounds in email and social media for awhile now, and is the best tutorial on the concept of “Gaslighting” I have seen. Thus, I want to share it with the audience of DBDailyUpdate. Unfortunately, I have no idea who the author is – If I did I would give him or her proper credit.]

“Gaslighting – The term originates in the systematic psychological manipulation of a victim by her husband in Patrick Hamilton’s 1938 stage play “Gas Light,” and the film adaptations released in 1940 and 1944. In the story, the husband attempts to convince his wife and others that she is insane by manipulating small elements of their environment and insisting that she is mistaken, remembering things incorrectly, or delusional when she points out these changes.

The play’s title alludes to how the abusive husband slowly dims the gas lights in their home, while pretending nothing has changed, in an effort to make his wife doubt her own perceptions. The wife repeatedly asks her husband to confirm her perceptions about the dimming lights, but in defiance of reality, he keeps insisting that the lights are the same and instead it is she who is going insane.

Today we are living in a perpetual state of gaslighting. The reality that we are being told by the media is at complete odds with what we are seeing with our own two eyes. And when we question the false reality that we are being presented, or we claim that what we see is that actual reality, we are vilified as racist or bigots or just plain crazy

You’re not racist. You’re not crazy. You’re being gaslighted.

New York State has twice as many deaths from Covid-19 than any other state, and New York has accounted for one fifth of all Covid-19 deaths, but we are told that New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has handled the pandemic better than any other governor. But if we support policies of Governors whose states had only a fraction of the infections and deaths as New York, we’re called anti-science and want people to die.
