VIDEO: Dr Taylor Marshall: The "fake election" is not over; don't give up

Walt is watching and waiting. So should you be. Dr Taylor Marshall says "Be a Maccabe!" Or, for those men who don't get the Biblical reference: grow a set! Don't go out and get yourself hurt (or worse) but do stand up and join the fight. Here's a video live-streamed earlier today, before President Trump's press conference. Don't give up!

 

VIDEO: 2020 election: "The people have spoken" (Sky TV Oz)

It's now Wednesday night in the Land of Oz. Chris Kenny, reporting on Sky News Australia, says the American people have spoken. And they've decided to side with Still-President Donald Trump.

   

Walt is holding his breath, hoping that the Aussie media have it right. Fingers crossed!

Footnote: As of dawn today, Mr Biden has 50% of the popular vote, thanks to huge leads on the Left Coast, and Mr Trump has 48.4%. If Mr Trump wins anyway, cue cries of, "It's Trump who stole the election. Biden won the popular vote so he should be President! The whole system is systemically racist yada yada yada..."

Further reading from outside America: "Whatever the final result, Democrats lost the 2020 U.S. election", by Konrad Yakabuski (no conservative, he), in the Globe and Mail, 4/11/20. Quotes: "Had fate, in the form of the COVID-19 pandemic, not intervened, Mr. Trump would likely have been handily re-elected on Tuesday." 

"That so many Americans were willing to cast a ballot for Mr. Trump in spite of his egregious handling of the pandemic and his moral corruptness says something about the disconnectedness of Democratic elites. By pushing their party ever further to the left, and embracing identity politics, they alienated millions of moderate voters." And there's more....

How an election was stolen

The events in this true story took place not in the Excited States of America, but in the Land of Bambazonke, aka Zimbabwe, a southern Afican shithole where I lived and worked in the 1990s. I left Zimbabwe on the Flying Dutchman in 2001, but kept in touch with an ever-decreasing number of colleagues and friends, until they too left... or died.

The People's Republic of Zimbabwe had been ruled since its independence in 1980 by Comrade Robert Gabriel Mugabe, a neo-Marxist anti-colonialist dictator who tolerated the presence of an opposition party so he could say his country wasn't a one-party state, although in fact it was.

Having an opposition means you have to have an election every now and then, just for show, and Uncle Bob decreed that his people should vote for him again in March 2008. Because of Zimbabwe's dire economic situation, the elections were expected to provide the incumbent and his ZANU-PF party with their toughest electoral challenge to date. 

The opposition Movement for Democratic Change, led by Morgan Tsvangirai, accused the government of planning to rig the election. Human Rights Watch said that the election was likely to be "deeply flawed", and so it was. As election night, March 29th, wore on, unofficial counts showed MDC-T building up big leads in the cities of Harare and Bulawayo, but the more populous rural areas were slow to report. In the wee hours of the morning of March 30th, counting was halted, with no explanation.

No official results were announced for more than a month thereafter. The failure to release results was strongly criticized by the MDC, which unsuccessfully sought a court order to force their release. After a recount and "verification" of the results, the government-controlled Zimbabwe Electoral Commission announced on May 2nd that Mr Tsvangirai won 47.9% of the vote and President Mugabe 43.2%, necessitating a run-off, to be held on 27 June 2008.

Political violence ensued, for which  ZANU-PF and MDC each blamed the other's supporters. On June 22nd, Mr Tsvangirai announced that he was withdrawing from the run-off, describing it as a "violent sham" and saying that his supporters risked being killed if they voted for him. The second round of elections went ahead with President Mugabe as the only actively participating candidate, although Mr Tsvangirai's name remained on the ballot. 

Comrade Bob won the second round by an overwhelming margin -- 85.3% to 9.3% -- and was sworn in for another term on 29 June 2008. He remained President until November of 2017, when, at the age of 93, he was ousted by his own party in a bloodless coup.

Any similarity between the events described above and last night's goings-on in Philthydelphia and Allegheny County PA and Atlants and Fulton County GA is purely coincidental.

"Allahu akbar!" in Vienna: Islamic terrorist kills four before shot dead

Walt didn't hurry to post this story yesterday, when it broke, because it would be embarrassing to cast suspicion on Muslims, only to have the attackers turn out to be, errr, non-Muslim, twice in one week. So I waited until my suspicions were confirmed.

Yes, it's another terrorist attack on innocent civilians. This time it happened in Vienna, the civilized and delightful capital city of Austria, where Islamic extremists rampaged through the entertainment district on Monday night, killing four people. One of the attackers was shot dead by police, but a personhunt [the PC term for "manhunt". Ed.] is on for others. 

After the customary dithering over whether to utter words like "Islamic" or "Muslim", the polizei identified the Muslim who is now in Paradise being serviced by 72 virgins. He was 20-year-old Kujtim Fejzulai, a dual citizen of Austrian and North Macedonia [Where dat? Ed.], seen in this selfie taken shortly before the attack.

In April of 2019, he was sentenced to 22 months in prison for trying to travel to Syria to join ISIS. He was released in December because, hey, he was just a juvenile. Boys will be boys.

Dressed in white coveralls and armed with an automatic rifle and a fake explosive vest, the late Mr Fejzulai ran through Vienna's cobblestone streets, firing off bursts at random. Two men and two women died from their injuries. A police officer who tried to get in the way of the attacker was shot and wounded, and another 14 people were wounded.

Chancellor Sebastian Kurz told the meeja, "It is now confirmed that yesterday's attack was clearly an Islamist terror attack," Kurz said. "It was an attack out of hatred -- hatred for our fundamental values, hatred for our way of life, hatred for our democracy in which all people have equal rights and dignity." Note: not "Western values" or "Christian values", just "fundamental values". But at least he called out Islamism.

What happens tomorrow? Signs and portents

Watching the Sunday Funnies (political TV programmes), I am a bit surprised (and much encouraged) by the way the lamestream media pundits are backing off their earlier predictions of a Biden landslide. What I heard yesterday was a lot of "too close to call" iffery. 

Very Important Reporters are out of the studios, doing standups in places like Florida, Pennsylvania and (ughh, brrr) Michigan, explaining away the crowds and enthusiasm at the Trump events and lack of same at Mr Biden's gatherings of a few parked cars. 

Did you see the clips on Sunday? 1000s of people turned out in miserable weather (in MI at least) to cheer on Still-President Trump. Sleepy Joe stood at the edge of a carpark pretending to orate, while we heard the sounds of silence. See "1000s attend Trump FL rally, crickets heard at Biden rallies", WWW 14/10/20.

The lefties are nervous, friends, and well they might be. So are the pollsters. Have you ever heard so much talk about margins of errors and the "hidden Trump vote"? Just last week, notorious anti-Trumper Michael Moore told Rising that the polls predicting a Biden win were almost certainly wrong. Click here to see the video, posted on WWW 29/10/20. 

Just a few days prior, Robert Cahaly, chief pollster for the Trafalgar Group -- one of the handful who got it right in 2016 -- told Fox News host Sean Hannity that he sees President Trump being reelected. Mr Cahaly cited the aforementioned "hidden vote" which he said is predominantly missing from polling showing Democratic nominee Joe Biden leading nationally and in most swing states. Click here to read the report on The Hill, 21/10/20.

Let's talk about the all-important swing states. As noted above, Michael Moore already concedes that President Trump could win Michigan again. Florida looks like being close, as usual, but Mr Biden's idea of a big and prolonged lockdown isn't playing well in a state where tourism and having fun is essential to economic survival.

The lamestream media are saying Texas is in play, for the first time in decades, and that's why the Dumbocrats sent noted Indo-Jamaican politician Kamala Harris there to stump for Creepy Joe. I don't believe for a minute that TX will vote for the anti-oil party.

So also Pennsylvania, where Old Joe pulled out his rusty service revolver and shot himself in the foot with a promise to end fracking. That may have played well in Philthydelphia [so well described by Bill Burr in "The Philadelphia Incident". You can look it up. Ed.], but that city is already notorious for providing the Dems with "votes on demand" as the results roll in. "Just tell us how many you need!"

The extent of the damage Mr Biden did to himself and his campaign can be seen in the endorsement by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette of... wait for it... Still-President Trump. See "The man and the record", PP-G 31/10/20. This is the first time since 1972 that this respected newspaper has come out for a Republican. 

To me, the most telling part of the their editorial is this paragraph:

Mr. Biden is too old for the job, and fragile. There is a very real chance he will not make it through the term. Mr. Trump is also too old but seemingly robust. But in Mike Pence, Mr. Trump has a vice president ready to take over, if need be. He is a safe pair of hands. Sen. Kamala Harris gives no evidence of being ready to be president.

In Philadelphia (and other Democrat-run cities), there is tangible evidence of fear of what will happen in the aftermath of a Biden win. Business owners big and small are closing their shops, boarding up the windows, hunkering down for the rioting and looting which (they must think) are inevitable. 

Are they afraid of pissed-off conservatives burning down the town if Mr Trump loses? Don't think so. They're afraid of the BLM and Antifa mobs which Biden-Harris refuse to condemn, and will be unable to control once the police are "defunded" and prosecutors are instructed to ignore the "antics of mostly peaceful protesters". See the video "'Black Looters Matter': Aussie Sky News looks at Pennsylvania", WWW 29/10/20. 

Time for a prediction, then? I'm still hoping President Trump will be re-elected, and am cautiously optimistic, but not willing to put down any serious money on it. So if you're a Biden fan (Hello, Agent 17!) and/or a sufferer from TDS, and want to get your bet down, Las Vegas oddsmaker-turned-conservative talk-show host Wayne Allen Root will be happy to accomodate you. 

Writing in Townhall, 1/11/20, he predicts a Trump landslide! His observations are much like those I've just written, so -- although I won't use the word "landslide" -- I don't see how we could both be wrong!  Lifetime pct .985,

VIDEO: "Countdown to D-Day 2020: America on the brink": Michael Matt

This doesn't need a long introduction. In his last video before Election Day, Michael Matt, editor of The Remnant newspaper, takes one last look at the 2020 presidential election.

•  Are the polls wrong again?
• Can Still-President Trump pull it off again?
• Why is Bill Gates pointing to a second pandemic?
• Why is Dr. Fauci predicting COVID restrictions through 2022?
• What about Vatican interference in the U.S. election?
• What issue prompted the Trump team to invite The Remnant on a Press Call?
• Did Steve Bannon just out himself as a traditional Catholic?
• What happens if Donald Trump loses next Tuesday? 

All that and much more!

   

Americans! More than at any time since, say, 1864, the fate of the nation depends on the re-election of President Trump! If you haven't already voted, get out there PDQ and do the right thing!

UPDATED: 2 killed, 5 wounded in Québec attack; suspect NOT Muslim

Québec City, capital of la Belle Province and heart of French Canada, has two fewer residents this morning, killed in a horrific attack in the city's old town, near the iconic Château Frontenac and rue du Trésor.

Poor Len Canayen sends news that, besides the two Québécois killed, five were injured by a man dressed in "mediaeval costume" wielding a Japanese katana sword. After a two-and-a-half-hour manhunt, a man was arrested shortly before 0100 in the city's Old Port, about half a mile from the scenes of the crime.

It may be recalled that in January of 2017 six Muslims were killed and 19 others injured when a man opened fire just after evening prayers at a mosque in Sainte-Foy, a suburb of Québec. Alexandre Bissonnette, a white, native-born Québécois, was charged with six counts of first-degree murder. 

Prime Minister Just In Trudeau called the shooting a terrorist attack, but M Bissonnette was not charged under the terrorism provision of the Criminal Code of Canada, or described as such by terrorism experts. In February of 2019, he was sentenced to life in prison, with no possibility of parole for 40 years. So for sure he wasn't the perpetrator this time!

It may also be recalled -- if not see "'Allahu akbar!' in Paris - second Islamic terrorist attack in three weeks", WWW 18/10/20 and "Muslim yells 'Allahu akbar!' as 3 stabbed to death", WWW 29/10/20 -- that France has seen two [Make that three! There was another one yesterday! Ed.] attacks on "infidels" (read: non-Muslims), including a Greek Orthodox priest, in October alone. The attackers in each case were Islamic extremists (read: terrorists/jihadis) bent on making the French pay for publishing or looking at cartoons depicting the Prophet Mohammed in an unfavourable light.

We return now to today's attacks in Québec. At 0400 local time, a spokesthingy for Ville du Québec police issued a tweet saying that although they had the assailant in custody, they could not at this stage release the identity or other details of the individual. "According to our initial information," Inspector Clouseau added, "there is no indication that the suspect may have acted on motives other than personal ones."

So, dear readers in Canuckistan, don't jump to conclusions. The truth will out, and you'll read about it first, right here on Walt Whiteman's World.

UPDATE ADDED at 1140: The suspect has now been identified as Carl Girouard, aged 24, a white, native-born Québécois from Ste-Thérèse, about 30 minutes north of Montréal. The official theory is that he was/is mentally ill.
