“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert.” –J. Robert Oppenheimer
And then a complete screen capture (to prevent deplatforming):
Note that this article references the now-classic Trump speech given just recently!
If you have not watched this, as well, then I urge you to take the time to watch and understand it.
SO WHAT IS THE BIG POINT?
We live in HISTORIC TIMES. Trump is going to have to do HISTORIC THINGS to save the nation from destruction. We must promise ourselves to support him, whatever form the battle takes.
Joe Biden – the Chinese puppet – will not be allowed to become President. This is not a mere Constitutional “crisis”. We are now engaged in a truly HISTORIC BATTLE.
We must be prepared to SUPPORT in all possible ways the SIDE OF LAWFUL PROCESS AND PRESERVATION OF THE NATION, THE REPUBLIC, AND EVEN THE MOST BASIC RULE OF LAW. We do not know all forms that this battle will take, but we have been PREPARED.
At the HIGHEST LEVEL POSSIBLE, we must TRUST THE PLAN – and SUPPORT IT when the time of its full flourishing arrives.
Two Q posts will show you the PRIMER of the CARTRIDGE.
My Campaign for President was conclusively spied on. Nothing like this has ever happened in American Politics. A really bad situation. TREASON means long jail sentences, and this was TREASON!
One theater, one movie on the screen, two movies in people’s heads, because of FAKE NEWS.
Understand WHY it has to be this way. Understand the REALITIES of what is going on – NOT what is in the Soviet Fake News.
REALITY will be a cold bitch-slap for the COVID communists, addicted to their fake news. Be ready to support OUR side – the side of reality – no matter how much the communists scream and cry.
Here is my position. What it YOURS? I hope that it is the same.
We do not accept this fraud of an election. We will accept whatever FAIR and HONEST solution is found for it. We will TRUST THE PLAN to take us there.
This Stormwatch Monday Open Thread is VERY OPEN – a place for everybody to post whatever they feel they would like to tell the White Hats, and the rest of the MAGA/KAG/KMAG world (with KMAG being a bit of both: Keep Making America Great).
Yes, it’s Monday…again.
But it’s okay! We’ll get through it.
Free Speech is practiced here at the Q Tree. But please keep it civil. Discussion of Q is not only allowed but encouraged. Imagine that! We can talk about Q here and not get banned.
Please also consider the Important Guidelines, outlined here. Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven that Wolf has created for us.
Our President is fighting for us night and day…please pray for him.

The insufferable Democrat crapweasels continue to be annoying at the least…but mostly infuriating. We would like to go all Hulk smash on them:
But for the time being, we will have to continue to endure their annoying provocations.
Wheatie’s Word of the Day:
Vaurien
‘Vaurien’ is both a noun and an adjective…meaning a good-for-nothing or worthless person; a scoundrel, reprobate or villain. As an adjective, it is used to describe such a knavish varmint.
Used in a sentence:
There must be a way to rid ourselves of the Democrat vauriens who are infesting government bureaucracy; there should be no such thing as “can’t be fired”.
As much as I utterly DESPISE “process over people”, I always found MEETINGS OF ACTUAL GEEKS WITH MINIMAL MANAGEMENT useful when there were too many people to look over one person’s shoulder comfortably in a GEEK CUBICLE. So – “declared meetings” have their uses. Here, if only to consolidate suggestions so I can find them later.
My mission in moving us to a WOKE-FREE SITE was so I could quickly get back to WAR in the immediate future. That is where my next posts will be going – back to POLITICS and away from I.T.
*** WAR ***
However, right now, we do have a lot of good geeky thoughts flying around. I want to capture them, even if I am going to INFO-GUNS right away (because THE BUSINESS is ultimately WHY WE ARE HERE).
Thoughts can go here. Including:
whether we want to STICK WITH THE NEW COMMENTING SYSTEM
whether I should get the tweet and video plugin extensions NOW (answer to above being YES)
features that we absolutely need NOW to FIGHT
features we need to add – but which will probably be LATER
tips and tricks for others to get online and FIGHTING
anything GEEKY
OK? GOOD! Have at it! Just remember – we FIGHT FIRST and repair the broken weapons LATER, when there is a break in the fighting.
So we STAND NOW!

It was announced last week that today’s rally in support of Georgia’s Senate candidates would take place.
Yesterday, this happened. A young man, Harrison Deal, son of a previous Georgia governor, staffer of Senator Kelly Loeffler and boyfriend of the daughter of the current Georgia governor, was killed in a “car accident” that involved a lot of fire.
As if we needed the reminder that what is going on, the movie that we are watching, the play that is in the third act, is indeed a matter of life and death for the people most closely involved.
Today’s rally is being held in Valdosta, Georgia, a place right along Interstate 75 where my family used to stop at the seconds and outlet malls, back when things were really made in America. Most of those places were gone the last time I was through there.
Those interested in learning of the bare bones of Valdosta’s history are encouraged to visit the wiki page.
In the meantime, despite the protests from the dinosaur lame stream media, the presidential race in Georgia is not over. Lawsuits have been filed in that state and then there’s the matter of suitcase-gate, where bins or suitcases of ballots came out from under tables in the counting room after all the observers and most of the workers were sent home for the night on November 3.

Hey, there’s nothing fishy about that. Nothing to see here. Move along.
So, as this whole historic episode in American life unfolds, tonight we get yet another demonstration of what the American people really want whether the mainstream media and the powers that wanna be are interested or not.
The Wolf’s Head Pub is open for business. It’s Friday and I don’t know about anyone else but I am ready for some camaraderie and shoulders to lean on. Thank our good God that the pub is full of fellow patriots who pick each other up off the floor, whether we’ve had too much of this dire situation afflicting our republic or too much madeira.
Madeira you say? I always wondered about this interesting drink. Turns out madeira is of Portuguese origin. Wine is subject to spoilage from heat, light and air (ask anyone who has tried to drink a week old bottle of opened wine).
Some time in the 1400s, the Portuguese discovered that fortifying fermenting wine with distilled spirits results in a wine that is safe from spoilage and extremely long-lasting. From Wikipedia:
“When added to wine before the fermentation process is complete, the alcohol in the distilled beverage kills the yeast and leaves residual sugar behind. The end result is a wine that is both sweeter and stronger, normally containing about 20% alcohol by volume (ABV)”
Madeira can be dry or sweet depending upon the distilled spirit used and the time of fermentation. Other fortified wines include marsala, sherry, port and vermouth. Incidentally, for those who make homemade bone broth, use a dry vermouth instead of wine or vinegar to help dissolve the calcium in the bones. The resulting taste is vastly superior.
How did our evil leaders know that pubs and taverns are ground zero for popular uprisings? Well, that was the case during our first Revolution…
Happening now in Staten Island: American Patriots protesting against @NYGovCuomo and @NYCMayor for arresting a bar owner for going into his own establishment.
Before we get too deep into our conversations, just a reminder that civility is what keeps the Qtree a place of sanctuary and intellectual inspiration. Cutting completely loose belongs over at the UTree, not here at the QTree. Civility reigns in this august public house. Rules here if you need a refresher or are new. Thank you in advance for giving our burly bouncers nothing to do.
Now, shall we fortify ourselves with a glass of madeira and get down to funny business?
Mayor Rudy Giuliani, attorney Jenna Ellis (was she was completely disrespected at the Michigan hearing Wednesday night, or what?), Lin Wood (viciously attacked by Breitbart shills for Cocaine Mitch) and Sidney Powell (holding up well under the immense pressure of The System bearing down) are the champions of this hour.
I was up until almost 3 a.m. the other night catching up on all the news happening. Find a listing at the end of this post of those videos and links that may have been missed, what with all the stuff happening.
Things are narrowing to a point now.
It is clear that the corrupt Republicans are being exposed. This has to happen. The trick, I think, is to expose the width and depth of their corruption without hurting our President as he fights to retain the White House and the Senate.
Georgia is RINO Ground Zero. The Breitbart attack on Lin Wood is showing the cracks in the UniParty Republican cadre. War Room Pandemic, episode 557, has a great discussion about the Georgia Republican Situation:
The feckless Republican senators who have betrayed the American worker highlights the quintessential tension between Wall Street and Main Street. It is things like this that causes patriot blood to boil:
“The Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act has been called the greatest corporate welfare program for Big Tech in recent memory. Lee has persistently sought to pass the corporate giveaway, with previous attempts to eliminate per-country-caps being blocked by Democrat Dick Durbin and Republican Rick Scott. Neither Senator objected to the unanimous passage of the modified S386 legislation on Wednesday afternoon.
Big Tech monopolies such as Apple, Google and Microsoft have fervently lobbied in favor of eliminating per-country caps, seeking to replace their American workforces with de facto indentured workers who accept lower wages and worse working conditions. The pervasive use of the H-1B visa in the American technology industry has displaced countless American workers from their careers.”
“Republican Senators Marco Rubio, John Cornyn, Susan Collins, and Thom Tillis will attend a Thursday “summit” meeting hosted by the “American Business Immigration Coalition,” a pro-amnesty group consisting of big business donors, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, as well as the George Soros-funded United We Dream organization.”
Cozying up with Democrat amnesty advocates, these bought-off Republicans care nothing for the American worker, our sovereignty, and the safety of citizens. They are selling us out! They are like vultures, waiting for the death of the Trump presidency when they can fully undo all that President Trump has done on behalf of the Forgotten Men and Women of this great nation. It’s positively Potteresque:
The lovely and brilliant Candace Owens puts the Georgia situation in perspective:
The people of Georgia are literally able to watch, on video, how their 11/3 votes were stolen from them. Meanwhile, republicans are telling them they MUST vote again in the runoff to keep the senate. THEIR VOTES MEAN NOTHING IF YOU DO NOT FIGHT AGAINST THE OBVIOUS FRAUD OF 11/3. https://t.co/vb91qNrKFh
But evil, greedy politicians have underestimated us and President Trump. Our President will not allow China, Soros, and sold-out, seditious politicians to destroy our republic. As Gen. Flynn (#FightLikeFlynn) says, “The president has clear paths to victory.” Paths. Not path. Oh yes, indeed. Keeping the faith here with you all and millions of Americans. We will prevail.
And did I tell you that we’ve got a new dartboard at the back of the pub? Unlimited darts! Enjoy!

And the Senate does not want to get rid of Section 230, a matter of national defense. President Trump says, VETO to the Defense Bill! He’s not playing around.
Very sadly for our Nation, it looks like Senator @JimInhofe will not be putting the Section 230 termination clause into the Defense Bill. So bad for our National Security and Election Integrity. Last chance to ever get it done. I will VETO!
I wrote the following thread on Twitter on November 26th:
I was beginning to lose hope! However, Attorney Lin Wood saved me this evening. He has the goods when it comes to the fraud that occurred in Georgia. These MORONS used an NBA arena that is full of cameras throughout the arena and on the outside of the arena.
I personally believe Lin has the videos that he is asking for in his subpoena. I think it is all there on tape. They LIED about the water leak in order to stop the count and produce the necessary ballots in order to swing the state.
Problem for them is that there was no such leak and everything they did from that point forward was caught on tape. If this revelation turns out to produce proof of fraud, than the tide has been completely turned. Keep in mind that those arenas were used in other states as well.
Lin Wood and Sidney Powell have both been promising big things would be happening in Georgia very soon. It looks like Lin Wood has dropped his first bobmshell tonight.
100 Percent Fed Up – In a surprise, late-night tweet, Attorney Lin Wood, who’s been warning Georgia Governor Brian Kemp (R) and GA Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger that he’s coming after them and that he’s got the goods, laid down the gauntlet. In his first tweet in a series of tweets, Wood tweeted:
Would someone ask my never-to-be friend Brad Raffensperger @GaSecofState if he has seen this tape of election fraud at State Farm Arena in Fulton Co., GA.
Several people have seen it. Many more will see it soon.
The subpoena demands and surveillance tapes, documents, information or objects, permission to inspect the premises a suite in the State Farm Arena. The subpoena includes recordings of elevators and loading docks and loading dock entrances. The subpoena also asks for any work orders or permits related to a water break in the Hawks arena.
HE DECIDED TO TOY WITH HIS PREY:
Hillary & Brad Raffensperger @GaSecofState overheard at Atlanta cafe tonight:
Brad: Does Bleachbit work on video tapes? Hillary: Not as well as a hammer. Brad: Any other way to destroy evidence? Hillary: If I had been in Nixon’s shoes, I would have burned the tapes.
NOW what Jordan Sekulow had to say the other night makes perfect sense!
He appeared with Tom Basile on NewsMax to discuss the current status of several election lawsuits. Within that interview he noted that despite the election certification, a new lawsuit will be filed on Monday in Georgia that “will be stunning“.
The ACLJ lawyer states the lawsuit and attached evidence in the state of Georgia is unrelated to any currently known information, evidence or preceding lawsuits. The framework is entirely new.
Lin Wood warned them well in advance. Now it is time to pay the Piper!
What was presented yesterday is just the tip of the iceberg! There are a full 14 hours of video that will be looked at and revealed at the appropriate time.
all while no one was observing them– other than the cameras at the arena, which arguably they didn't know were recording.. Tsk Tsk Tsk.. Telling, the Democrat representative reaction, screaming it had been "DEBUNKED" while staring at video with her own eyes. Clips incoming,
Wow! Blockbuster testimony taking place right now in Georgia. Ballot stuffing by Dems when Republicans were forced to leave the large counting room. Plenty more coming, but this alone leads to an easy win of the State!
Our President is giving them a lifeline before it is too late for them to save themselves.
The best way to insure a @KLoeffler and @sendavidperdue VICTORY is to allow signature checks in the Presidential race, which will insure a Georgia Presidential win (very few votes are needed, many will be found). Spirits will soar and everyone will rush out and VOTE! @BrianKempGA
Brian Kemp @BrianKempGA should tell TRUTH & plead guilty to being an accomplice to the crime of foreign interference with our national election.@GaSecofState should enter same plea. https://t.co/SwO3uYS3kV
What is happening in Nevada takes on even greater importance. The Supreme Court invalidates Pennsylvania’s election results (20 electoral votes), Georgia is going to be reversed (16 electoral votes) plus Nevada (6 electoral votes) would do the trick. That is a total of 42 electoral votes. SleepyCreepy Joe is currently sitting on 306 electoral votes. Take away 42 and he has 264 electoral votes.
-2,468 votes by voters that legally changed their address to another state or country -Appx 42k voters who voted twice in NV -Appx 1,500 voters listed as deceased by the SSA -Almost 20k NV voters with a non NV mailing address -Appx 6k USPS flags on vacant addresses
The 12th Amendment would take care of the rest! Arizona, Wisconsin and Michigan would be the cherry on the sundae. The sundae will taste delicious with or without it.
Our President’s incredible speech on Wednesday night was to prepare Americans for what we saw yesterday and what will transpire over the next few weeks. He called this “the most important speech I have ever made.”
[Transcript] This may be the most important speech I’ve ever made. I want to provide an update on our ongoing efforts to expose the tremendous voter fraud and irregularities which took place during the ridiculously long November 3rd elections.
We used to have what was called, election day. Now we have election days, weeks, and months, and lots of bad things happened during this ridiculous period of time, especially when you have to prove almost nothing to exercise our greatest privilege, the right to vote. As President, I have no higher duty to defend the laws and the Constitution of the United States. That is why I am determined to protect our election system, which is now under coordinated assault and siege.
For months, leading up to the Presidential election, we were warned that we should not declare a premature victory. We were told repeatedly that it would take weeks if not, months, to determine the winner, to count the absentee ballots and to verify the results.
My opponent was told to stay away from the election, don’t campaign. “We don’t need you. We’ve got it. This election is done.” In fact, they were acting like they already knew what the outcome was going to be. They had it covered and perhaps they did, very sadly for our country. It was all very, very strange. Within days after the election, we witnessed an orchestrated effort to anoint the winner even while many key states were still being counted.
The constitutional process must be allowed to continue. We’re going to defend the honesty of the vote by ensuring that every legal ballot is counted and that no illegal ballot is counted. This is not just about honoring the votes of 74 million Americans who voted for me, it’s about ensuring that Americans can have faith in this election and in all future elections.
Today I will detail some of the shocking irregularities, abuses and fraud that had been revealed in recent weeks but before laying out just a small portion of the evidence we have uncovered, and we have so much evidence, I want to explain the corrupt mail-in balloting scheme that Democrats systematically put into place that allowed voting to be altered, especially in swing states, which they had to win. They just didn’t know that it was going to be that tough, because we were leading in every swing state by so much, far greater than they ever thought possible.
While it has long been understood that the Democrat political machine engages in voter fraud from Detroit to Philadelphia, to Milwaukee, Atlanta, so many other places. What changed this year was the Democrat party’s relentless push to print and mail out tens of millions of ballots sent to unknown recipients with virtually no safeguards of any kind.
This allowed fraud and abuse to occur in a scale never seen before. Using the pandemic as a pretext, Democrat politicians and judges drastically changed election procedures just months, and in some cases, weeks before the election on the 3rd of November.
Very rarely were legislatures involved and constitutionally, they had to be involved, but very, very rarely, and you’ll see that as we continue to file our suits, it’s constitutionally, absolutely incorrect what took place, even from a legal standpoint.
Many states, such as Nevada and California sent millions of live ballots to every person on their voter rolls whether those individuals had requested ballots or not, whether they were dead or alive, they got ballots. Other states such as Minnesota, Michigan, and Wisconsin, instituted universal absentee balloting right in the middle of an election year, sending absentee ballot requests forms to all voters on all rolls. It didn’t matter who they were.
This colossal expansion of mail-in voting opened the flood gates to massive fraud. It’s a widely known fact that the voting rolls are packed with people who are not lawfully eligible to vote, including those who are deceased, have moved out of their state, and even our non-citizens of our country.
Beyond this, the records are riddled with errors, wrong addresses, duplicate entries, and many other issues. This is not disputed. It has never been disputed. Dozens of counties in the key swing states have more registered voters on the rolls than they have voting age citizens, including 67 counties in Michigan. All of this is evidence.
In Wisconsin, the state’s Board of Elections could not confirm the residency of more than 100,000 people, but repeatedly refused to remove those names from its voter rolls before the election. They knew why, nobody else did. I knew why. They were illegal voters.
It is a travesty that in the year 2020, we do not have any means of verifying the eligibility of those who cast ballots in an election and such an important election it is, or determining who they are, whether they live in the state or whether they’re even American citizens. We have no idea.
We have an in all swing states major infractions or outright fraud, which is far more in numbers or votes then we need to overturn the results of a state. In other words, in Wisconsin, as an example, where we were way up on election night, they ultimately had us miraculously losing by 20,000 votes.
I can show you right here, that Wisconsin, we’re leading by a lot and then at 3:42 in the morning, there was this, it was a massive dump of votes, mostly Biden, almost all Biden. To this day, everyone’s trying to figure out, “Where did it come from?” But I went from leading by a lot, to losing by a little and that’s right here. That’s at 3:42 in the morning, that’s Wisconsin, a terrible thing, terrible, terrible thing.
But we will have far more, many times more than the 20,000 votes needed to overturn the state. If we are right about the fraud, Joe Biden can’t be president.
We’re talking about hundreds of thousands of votes. We’re talking about numbers like nobody has ever seen before. Just as an example, in certain states, we’ll be down by, let’s say, 7,000 votes, but we’ll find later on 20,000, 50,000, 100,00, 200,000 discrepancies or fraudulent votes, and that includes votes that went through when they were not allowed to be seen by Republican poll watchers, because the poll watchers were locked out of the building.
Or people that innocently came to vote on November 3rd, who were all excited about their vote, they were happy. They were proud to be citizens of the United States of America, and they went up and they said, “I’d like to vote.” They were told that they can’t vote. “I’m sorry,” they were told, “I’m sorry. You’ve already voted by mail-in ballot. Congratulations. We received a ballot, so you can no longer vote.”
They didn’t know what to do. They had no one to complain to, most just left and said, “That’s strange.” But many people complained and complained vehemently, and in a lot of cases, they filled out a provisional ballot, which was almost never used, but in virtually every case was a vote for Trump. In other words, they went in to vote and they were told that they voted and they didn’t vote. They left and they felt horror and they lost respect for our system.
This happened tens of thousands of times all over the country. That’s how desperate the Democrats were. They would fill out ballots of people not even knowing if these people were going to show up. When they did show up, they said, “Sorry, you’ve already voted.”
On top of everything else, we have a company that’s very suspect. It’s name is Dominion, with the turn of a dial or the change of a chip, you could press a button for Trump and the vote goes to Biden. What kind of a system is this? We have to go to paper, maybe it takes longer. But the only secure system is paper. Not these systems that nobody understands, including in many cases, the people that run them. Although, unfortunately, I think they understand them far too well.
In one Michigan County, as an example, that used Dominion systems, they found that nearly 6,000 votes had been wrongly switched from Trump to Biden, and this is just the tip of the iceberg. This is what we caught. How many didn’t we catch? Are there 100s of other examples throughout the country? Are there 1000s? We just got lucky and they called it a glitch, but we found numerous glitches that evening. 96% of the company’s political donations went to Democrats, not surprisingly.
Frankly, when you look at who’s running the company, who’s in charge, who owns it, which we don’t know, where are the votes counted? Which we think are counted in foreign countries, not in the United States, Dominion is a disaster.
Election authorities in Texas have repeatedly blocked the deployment of Dominion systems due to concerns about security vulnerabilities and the potential for errors and outright fraud. Every district that uses Dominion systems must be carefully monitored and carefully investigated, but not only for the future.
Right now, we’re worried about the present, and what went on with an election that we won without question. Under my lead, the Republicans won almost every state house in the United States, which they weren’t expected to do. We went up to 16 seats in the house. The numbers are still being tabulated, because there are nine seats that nobody really knows. They don’t know. Two weeks later, it’s still under consideration, because it’s a mess. Republicans were supposed to lose many seats, and instead they won those seats in the house, and a very important election that’s coming up will determine whether, or not we hold the Senate.
David Perdue and Kelly Leffler are two tremendous people. Unfortunately, in Georgia, they’re using the same horrible Dominion system, and it’s already been out that, think of it, hundreds of thousands of absentee ballots have been requested. You check it out who’s requesting those ballots. The difference is, it’s one state, and we will have our eyes on it like nobody’s ever watched anything before, because we have to win those two Senate seats.
The tremendous success we had in the House of Representatives, and the tremendous success we’ve had so far in the Senate, unexpected success all over the country, and right here in Washington.
It is statistically impossible that the person, me, that led the charge lost. The greatest pollsters, the real pollsters, not the ones that had us down 17 points in Wisconsin when we actually won, or the ones that had us down four or five points in Florida, and we won by many points, or had us even, and down in Texas, and we won by a lot, not those pollsters, but real pollsters. Pollsters that are fair, and honest said, “We can’t understand a thing like this. It’s never happened before. You led the country to victory, and you were the only one that was lost. It’s not possible.”
The speaker of the house of a certain state said, “Sir, I expected to lose my seat, and instead, because of you, and because of that incredible charge, and all of those rallies, we had a tremendous victory, and everybody knows it. You are much more popular than me, sir, except I got many more votes than you did, and it’s impossible that that happened. There is something wrong.”
I’ll tell you what’s wrong, voter fraud. Here’s an example. This is Michigan. At 6:31 in the morning, a vote dump of 149,772 votes came in unexpectedly. We were winning by a lot. That batch was received in horror.
Nobody knows anything about it. By the way, there’s your line. This is one of many. Here’s what is normal, and all of a sudden, look at that. This is normal, normal. Look even here, normal, and then boom, all of a sudden, I go from winning by a lot to losing a tight race.
It’s corrupt. Detroit is corrupt. I have a lot of friends in Detroit. They know it, but Detroit is totally corrupt. Look at this, look at this. That’s at 6:31 in the morning, unexpectedly came in.
In the recent recount in Georgia, which means nothing because they don’t want to check signatures, and if you’re not going to check signatures in Georgia, it doesn’t work, but we have a secretary of state, and a governor who made it very difficult to check signatures.
Why? You’ll have to ask them, but without a signature match, or a check, it doesn’t matter. They found thousands and thousands of votes that were out of whack, all against me. This was during a recount that I didn’t even think mattered. They found many thousands of votes, and that recount didn’t matter.
The one that matters is the one that’s going on now, that because of the fact it’s so close, they had to by law give another recount, but the recount has to be a recount where they check the signatures. Otherwise, they’re just checking the same dishonest thing. It won’t matter.
In this case, the signatures on envelopes are the only thing that is relevant. We will compare the signature on the envelope to the signatures from past elections, and we will find that many thousands of people signed these ballots illegally. The Democrats had this election rigged right from the beginning. They used the pandemic, sometimes referred to as the China virus, where it originated as an excuse to mail out tens of millions of ballots, which ultimately led to a big part of the fraud, a fraud that the whole world is watching, and there is no one happier right now than China.
Many people received two, three and four ballots. They were sent to dead people by the thousands. In fact, dead people, and we have many examples filled out ballots, made applications, and then, voted, which is even worse. In other words, dead people went through a process. Some have been dead for 25 years.
Millions of votes were cast illegally in the swing states alone, and if that’s the case, the results of the individual swing states must be overturned, and overturned immediately. Some people say that’s too far out, that’s too harsh. Well, does that mean we take a precedent, and we’ve just elected a president where the votes were fraudulent?
No, it means you have to turn over the election, and everybody knows without going much further, and they’ve seen the evidence, but they don’t want to talk about it what a disaster this election was, a total catastrophe, but we’re going to show it, and hopefully, the courts in particular, the Supreme Court of the United States will see it, and respectfully, hopefully, they will do what’s right for our country, because our country can not live with this kind of an election.
We could say, let’s go on to the next one, but no, we have to look also at our past. We can’t let this happen.
Maybe you’ll have a revote, but I don’t think that’s appropriate. When those votes are corrupt, when they’re irregular, when they get caught, they’re terminated, and I very easily win.
In all states, I very easily win, the swing states, just like I won them at 10 o’clock in the evening, the evening of the election. We’re not looking to show you 25 faulty or fraudulent votes, which don’t mean anything, because it doesn’t overturn the state, or a fifty, or a hundred. We’re showing you hundreds of thousands far more than we need, far more than the margin, far more than the law requires. We can show many times what is necessary to win the state.
The media knows this, but they don’t want to report it. In fact, they outright refuse to even cover it, because they know the result if they do. Even what I’m saying now will be demeaned and disparaged, but that’s okay. I just keep on going forward, because I’m representing 74 million people, and in fact, I’m also representing all of the people that didn’t vote for me.
The mail-in voting scam is the latest part of their four year effort to overturn the results of the 2016 election, and it’s been like living in hell. Our opponents have proven many times again and again, that they will say, and do anything to get back into power.
The corrupt forces who are registering dead voters and stuffing ballot boxes are the same people who have perpetrated one phony and fraudulent hoax after another. You’ve been watching it now for four years. These entrenched interests oppose our movement, because we put America first. They don’t put America first, and we’re returning power to you the American people.
They don’t want America first, they only want power for themselves. They want to make money, that’s why they don’t want me as your president. I’ve been investigated from soon after I announced I was running for president. When I immediately went to number one in the Republican primary polls, the investigations never stopped. They went on for four years, and I won them all, I beat them all. Russia, Russia, Russia, the impeachment hoax, and so much more.
Robert Mueller spent $48 million of taxpayer money investigating me for two and a half years, issued over 2,800 subpoenas, executed nearly 500 search warrants, issued 230 orders for communications records, and conducted 500 witness interviews, all looking to take me down. There was no collusion in the end, none whatsoever.
Senator Marco Rubio, the head of the Senate Intelligence Committee stated, “The committee found no evidence that then candidate Donald Trump, or his campaign colluded with the Russian government.” And, I thank Senator Rubio for that statement.
Now, I hear that these same people that failed to get me in Washington have sent every piece of information to New York, so that they can try to get me there. It’s all been gone over, over and over again. For $48 million you go through tax returns, you go through everything. The New York attorney general, who recently ran for office campaigned without knowing me stating, “We will join with law enforcement and other attorneys general across this nation in removing this president from office.” I never met her. “It’s important that everybody understands”, she said, “that the days of Donald Trump are coming to an end.” And all it’s been is a big investigation in Washington and New York and any place else that can investigate because that’s what they want to do.
They want to take not me, but us down. Then we can never let them do that. Everything has been looked at. A friend of mine, who’s very smart, said, “You’ve probably seen more than anybody else. You’ve probably been investigated more than anybody else. And for you to come out with a clean bill of health makes you probably the cleanest person in this country.”
Some people in this administration, but fortunately not all have been beaten down and disparaged. They just disappeared. Nobody knows what happened to them. Why aren’t they active? Why aren’t they involved? There’s so much to be involved in. The corruption is so rampant. They just couldn’t take it anymore. They were threatened by Democrats with impeachment and horrible things were said about them. And they’re good people.
Even recently, the head of the GSA was hounded and harassed as she reported, like she has never been before. What can I say? We caught Comey cold, we caught McCabe cold. We caught them all. We’re still waiting for a report from a man named Durham, who I have never spoken to, and I have never met.
They can go after me before the election as much as they want, but unfortunately Mr. Durham didn’t want to go after these people, or have anything to do with going after them before the election. So who knows if he is ever going to even do a report.
But if you look at the lies, and the leaks, and the illegal acts of behavior done by so many people, and their desire to hurt the president of the United States, something should happen.
The hardest thing I have to do is explain why nothing is happening with all of these people that got caught spying on my campaign. It’s never happened before and it should never happen again to a president of the United States. All you have to do is watch the hearings and see for yourself. The evidence is overwhelming.
The fraud that we’ve collected in recent weeks is overwhelming, having to do with our election. Everyone is saying, ” Wow, the evidence is overwhelming”, when they get to see it. But really it’s too late to change the course of an election. It’s too late to change the outcome.
In fact, there is still plenty of time to certify the correct winner of the election and that’s what we’re fighting to do. But no matter when it happens, when they see fraud, when they see false votes and when those votes number far more than is necessary, you can’t let another person steal that election from you.
All over the country, people are together in holding up signs, “Stop the steal.” To understand how we will challenge this fraud, it is important to know the problems with mail-in balloting. Pennsylvania, Michigan, Nevada, Georgia, Arizona, and most other states allowed anyone to get an absentee ballot and cast their vote without showing any ID. The voting took place entirely on the honor system, no identification of any kind was required.
Most Americans would also be shocked to learn that no state in the country verifies United States citizenship as a condition for voting in federal elections. This is a national disgrace. No other advanced country conducts elections this way.
Many European countries have instituted major restrictions on mail-in voting, specifically, because they recognize the nearly unlimited potential for fraud. Out of 42 European nations, all but two prohibit absentee ballots entirely for people who reside inside the country, or else they require those who need absentee ballots to show a very, very powerful ID.
Throughout the Democrat effort to dramatically expand mail-in voting, the Democrat party leaders were also, feverishly working to block measures, designed to protect against fraud, such as signature verification, residency verification, or voter ID. And citizenship confirmation was almost unthought of that we should ask for it.
Can you believe this? These are not the actions of people who want fair elections. These are the actions of people who want to steal elections, who are willing to create fraud. The only conceivable reason why you would block common sense measures to verify legal eligibility for voting, is you are trying to encourage, enable, solicit, or carry out fraud.
It is important for Americans to understand that these destructive changes to our election laws were not a necessary response to the pandemic. The pandemic simply gave the Democrats an excuse to do what they have been trying to do for many, many years.
In fact, the very first bill that house Democrats introduced when Nancy Pelosi became speaker, was it attempt to mandate universal mail-in voting and eliminate measures such as voter ID, which is so necessary. Dramatically eroding the integrity of our elections was the Democrats number one priority for a simple reason, they wanted to steal the 2020 presidential election. All of the Democrat efforts to expand mail-in balloting laid the groundwork for the systematic and pervasive fraud that occurred in this election.
In Pennsylvania, large amounts of mail-in and absentee ballots were processed illegally. And in secret, in Philadelphia, in Allegheny counties, without our observers present. They were not allowed to be present. In fact, they weren’t even allowed in the same room. They were thrown out of the building and they looked from outside in, but they had no way of even seeing, because there were no windows. And the windows that were there were boarded up. Democrats even went to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court to block observers from receiving access.
There is only one possible reason that the corrupt Democrat political machine would oppose transparency during the vote counting. It’s because they know they are hiding illegal activity. It’s very simple.
This is an egregious, inexcusable. And irreversible harm that stains the entire election, yet this unprecedented practice of excluding our observers, our vote watchers, as some people call them, occurred in Democrat run cities and key states all across the nation. Here are just some of the additional facts that we’ve uncovered.
Many voters all across Pennsylvania received two ballots in the mail, and many others received mail-in ballots for which they never applied. So many get ballots, they didn’t even know what they were for. And again, so many received more than one ballot. In some cases, more than two ballots. And they happened to be, for the most part, Democrats.
In Fayette County, Pennsylvania, multiple voters received ballots that were already filled out. They didn’t know what happened. In Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, a poll watcher, overheard unregistered voters being told to return later to try to vote under a different name. Tens of thousands of voters across Pennsylvania were treated differently based on whether they were Republicans, or Democrats.
Voters who submitted floored ballots in some Democrat precincts were notified and asked to fix their ballots, while Republican precincts, and in particular Republican voters, were not so notified which plainly violates the Equal Protection Clause of the United States Constitution.”If you are a Democrat, we’re going to fix up your ballot. make sure it’s perfect. If you are Republican, don’t even talk about it.”
In Michigan, a career employee of the city of Detroit, with the city workers, coaching voters to vote straight Democrat, while accompanying them to watch who they were voting for, violating the law and the sanctity of the secret ballot. You can’t do that. The same workers say she was instructed not to ask for any ID and not to attempt to validate any signatures. She was also told to illegally backdate ballots, many, many ballots, received after the deadline. This is something that is so unconstitutional and she estimates that thousands and thousands of ballots were improperly backdated by her and many others.
Other witnesses in Detroit also saw our election officials counting batches of the same ballots many times, as well as illegally duplicating ballots. One observer testified to seeing boxes and boxes of ballots, all bearing the same signature. Another observer in Detroit gave sworn testimony that he saw countless and valid ballots that did not belong to properly registered voters and then witnessed election workers in Wayne County entering fake birth dates into the system, in order to illegally count them.
Witnesses of science wore an affidavit, so in other words, you go to jail if you lie, testifying that after election officials announced the last absentee votes had been received, a batch of tens of thousands of ballots arrived, many without envelopes, all voting for Democrats.
In Wisconsin, a record number of voters were categorized as indefinitely confined. A status reserved for severely disabled individuals, also for the elderly that allow them to vote without showing ID. Last year, approximately 70,000 people claimed this status statewide. This year, the number miraculously was nearly 250,000 voters, after election officials in Milwaukee and Dane County, a couple of the most corrupt political places in our country, urged citizens to improperly register under this status. And register they did in levels that don’t exist. In Wisconsin, there are approximately 70,000 absentee ballots that do not have matching ballot applications as required by law.
In Georgia, nine observers have testified to seeing countless irregular ballots without the creases or typical markings indicating that the ballots did not arrive in envelopes as required. A poll watcher in Fulton County estimated that approximately 98% of the large number of unusually pristine ballots that she witnessed were for Biden. Highly unusual number. In addition, thousands of uncounted ballots were discovered in Floyd, Fayette, and Walton counties weeks after the election, and these ballots were mostly from Trump voters. They weren’t counted. They were from Trump voters.
In Detroit, everybody saw the tremendous conflict and the horrible way that the two Republican canvassers were treated so horribly because they wouldn’t vote when they saw that 71% of the precincts didn’t balance. Also, there were more votes than there were voters. Think of that. You had more votes than you had voters. That’s an easy one to figure, and it’s by the thousands.
In Arizona, in-person voters whose balanced produced error messages from tabulation machines were told to press a button that resulted in their votes not being counted. Also in Arizona, the attorney general announced that mail-in ballots had been stolen from mailboxes and hidden under a rock.
In Clark County, Nevada, where most of the state’s voters reside, the standards for matching a signature using the signature verification machine were intentionally lowered to allow large numbers of ballots to be counted that otherwise would never have passed muster. This machine was set at the lowest level.
According to one report, in order to test the process, nine voters in Clark County cast ballots with intentionally incorrect signatures, and eight of the nine ballots were accepted and counted. They said you could sign your name as Santa Claus, and it would be accepted. Last week, the Clark County Commission threw out the results of a local election after the registrar reported finding, quote, “discrepancies that we can’t explain.” Also in Nevada, some voters were entered into a raffle for more than a dozen gift cards worth as much as $250 if they could prove they had voted.
This took place on Indian reservations. One of the most significant indications of widespread fraud is the extraordinarily low rejection rates for mail-in ballots in many key states. These are the states that I had to win.
In swing state after swing state, the number of ballots rejected has been dramatically lower than what would have been expected based on prior experience. That means years and years of voting. In Georgia, just 0.2%, that’s substantially less than 1%, of mail-in ballots have been rejected. In other words, almost none have been rejected. They took everything. Nothing was rejected, practically, compared to 6.4% in 2016. There are those that think that 6.4 was a low number.
Think of it. Almost none were rejected. The previous election, 6.4% were rejected. We have seen similar declines in Pennsylvania, Nevada, and Michigan. Ballots weren’t rejected, especially if they happen to be in Democrat areas. These irregularities are inexplicable unless there is a deliberate effort to accept ineligible ballots or fraudulent ballots.
In Pennsylvania, the secretary of state and the state supreme court in essence abolished signature verification requirements just weeks prior to the election, in violation of state law. You’re not allowed to do that. It has to be approved by the legislature. A judge can’t do it. A state can’t do it. An official can’t do it. The only one that can do it is the legislature.
The reason for this is clear. They were not verifying signatures because they know the ballots have not been filled out by the voters in whose names they were cast. In other words, people filled them out that had nothing to do with the names on the ballot. A simple recount of the ballots under these circumstances only compounds the fraud.
The only way to determine whether there was an honest vote is to conduct a full review of the envelopes in the relevant states. You will find that many of them, tens of thousands, have fraudulent signatures. A full forensic audit is required to ensure that only legal ballots from lawfully registered voters that were properly cast are included in the final count.
This election is about great voter fraud, fraud that has never been seen like this before. It’s about poll watchers who were not allowed to watch. So illegal. It’s about ballots that poured in, and nobody but a few knew where they came from. They were counted, and they weren’t for me.
It’s about big leads on election night, tremendous leads, leads where I was being congratulated for a decisive easy victory. All of a sudden, by morning or a couple of days later, those leads rapidly evaporated. It’s about numbers of ballots that were sent that nobody know where they came from. It’s about machinery that was defective, machinery that was stopped during certain parts of the evening, miraculously to open with more votes.
It was about many other things, but above all, it was about fraud. This election was rigged. Everybody knows it. I don’t mind if I lose an election, but I want to lose an election fair and square. What I don’t want to do is have it stolen from the American people. That’s what we’re fighting for. We have no choice to be doing that.
We already have the proof. We already have the evidence, and it’s very clear. Many people in the media and even judges so far have refused to accept it. They know it’s true. They know it’s there. They know who won the election, but they refuse to say, “You’re right.” Our country needs somebody to say, “You’re right.”
Ultimately, I am prepared to accept any accurate election result, and I hope that Joe Biden is as well. We already have the proof. We already have tens of thousands of ballots more than we need to overturn all of these states that we’re talking about.
This is an election for the highest office in the greatest country in the history of the world. Every reasonable American should be able to agree, based on what we have already documented, that we need a systematic analysis of the mail-in ballots to review the envelopes. It’s about the signature. If they’re on the envelopes, we can only review the envelopes, and that will tell us everything.
This is the absolute minimum we should expect. This is not just about my campaign, although it has a lot to do with who’s going to be your next president. This is about restoring faith and confidence in American elections. This is about our democracy and the sacred rights that generations of Americans have fought, bled, and died to secure. Nothing is more urgent or more important.
The only ballots that should count in this election are those cast by eligible voters who are citizens of our country, residents of the states in which they voted, and who cast their ballots in a lawful manner before the legal deadline.
Moreover, we must never again have an election in which there is not a reliable and transparent system to verify the eligibility, identity, and residency of every single person who casts a ballot, a very, very cherished ballot.
Many very smart people have congratulated me on all we’ve done: the biggest tax cuts in history, regulation cuts, the biggest in history. We rebuilt our military. We took care of our vets like never before, Space Force, and so much more. Then they went on to say, as big and as important as these events were, the single greatest achievement in your presidency will be exactly what you’re doing right now: voter integrity for our nation. It’s more important than any of the things that we discussed.
If we don’t root out the fraud, the tremendous and horrible fraud that’s taken place in our 2020 election, we don’t have a country anymore. With the resolve and support of the American people, we will restore honesty and integrity to our elections. We will restore trust in our system of government.

For your listening enjoyment, I offer this composition from Roman Senyk Music, titled ‘Heroic Feat’:

Wheatie’s Word of the Day:
Vitiate
‘Vitiate’ is a transitive verb which means…to make faulty or defective; impair or spoil. In a legal sense: To impair or make void; to destroy or annul, either completely or partially, the force and effect of an act or instrument.
Pronounced: Vishy-ate.
Used in a sentence:
The Supreme Court ruled in 1878 that “Fraud vitiates every thing…”, so this should apply to the massive fraud that the perfidious Democrats have committed in this election.
“I will be in Georgia on Saturday.” -President Trump
BUT WAIT……
WHAT THE ACTUAL FRACK!
No, the 2020 Election was a total scam, we won by a lot (and will hopefully turn over the fraudulent result), but we must get out and help David and Kelly, two GREAT people. Otherwise we are playing right into the hands of some very sick people. I will be in Georgia on Saturday! https://t.co/1ziqFq9S6O
I’m calling B.S. on NewsMax and “Trump supporters”! DUPES and CONTROLLED OPPOSITION!
Saved as an image, useful now for those of us who turned off Twitter embeds…..
Here is the deal.
Yeah, it is becoming very clear now how the DNC, the globalists, China, FACEBOOK, treasonous IC, and GEORGIA RINOs created a “comfortable RINO surrender in the middle”, whereby Georgia enabled CHINA to not only attempt to take out Trump, but to have an “insurance policy” on the Senate – that if the Democrats and RINOs conceded to a Trump win, they could STOP TRUMP with a typical UniParty undermining job on the two Georgia seats in the US Senate.
Oh, those DASTARDLY CHINESE COMMUNISTS ARE TRICKY!
Obviously, this has put not just President Trump, but Leader McConnell, in a very tough spot.
TREASONOUS RINOs? TREASONOUS social media? TREASONOUS MSM?
Thankfully, that PLOT has became completely apparent very early, enabling OUTRAGE by the base.
In a vary typical and Alinsky way, the UniParty has tried to respond to that outrage by pushing it to absurdity – i.e. – a badly intended BOYCOTT.
FUGGEDDABOUDIT!
No way.
NOW is the time to pour all our firepower on Georgia.
I can sense that the KRAKEN has broken a logjam. Dirty Dems and Deep State know that trouble is coming, and that the STEAL ON TRUMP will not go down. And it could be EVEN WORSE for the Deep State, due to Trump’s beautiful Executive Orders.
Rumors of Biden being talked into concession by the Deep State Fake Elections Intelligence Community Apparatus strike me as real. If Biden-Harris calls it off, maybe their allies don’t all GO DIRECTLY TO JAIL as the FIRST STEP of election reform.
Trump just spilled the beans in a radioactively and correctly aging tweet:
Biden can only enter the White House as President if he can prove that his ridiculous “80,000,000 votes” were not fraudulently or illegally obtained. When you see what happened in Detroit, Atlanta, Philadelphia & Milwaukee, massive voter fraud, he’s got a big unsolvable problem!
This big fight is to not only save the PRESIDENCY – it is to not only TAKE THE HOUSE – it is to under absolutely no circumstances yield the SENATE.
Georgia needs to be caught in a CROSSFIRE by both Sidney Powell nailing them on The Dominion Treason, and by the RNC on winning races and keeping China and Zuckerberg from stealing the Senate!
We will deal with him until he is BEHIND BARS. In fact, HE is our ticket OFF WORDPRESS. We are going to go after this Chinese SPY until he FORCES WORDPRESS to kick us off.
BYE-BYE, MARK THE SPY!
Ready for the fight?
BE AT YOUR PROTEST ON SATURDAY! TODAY!!!
It’s even BETTER if you’re not in Georgia, because we are going to bring so much pressure from OUTSIDE GEORGIA that…..
What a week. The Kraken was released. Sidney Powell made good on her promise. The wailing and gnashing of teeth as the Fake News Media reacted was epic.
Her lawsuits in Georgia and Michigan caused Hack Dorsey to wrench down on censoring the filings. Good Lord, what a stinking loser. Pathetic. These tech lords haven’t stopped the truth. We are the news now.
Rudy kicked butt at his Pennsylvania hearing. The brave patriots who spoke out about voter fraud made me proud to be an American.
We need to brace for the backlash from the NWO cabal, though. They aren’t going down without a final fight. They are all in, and that means a fight to the bitter end.
But I can feel that familiar feeling of…WINNING. It never gets old, and we have our great President Trump to thank for that.
And, not so incidentally, our President pardoned General Mike Flynn. Sidney Powell reacts. This was an indication to me that the Kraken has been set free to crush the cheating Dems. This decision came from a position of strength. Perfect timing. And the pardon was phrased in such a way that General Flynn can serve in government again. Innocent!
Well, I say we should drink a toast to Sidney. I’ll be hoisting a Brandy Milk Punch, a favorite of that patriot and Founding Father Benjamin Franklin. Recipe here.
First though, just a reminder about our house rules. Make nice. Craziness belongs over at the UTree, not here at the QTree. Civility reigns. Rules here if you need a refresher or are new. We may be opinionated, but we do it with the highest regard for our fellow patrons and we never wish to cause the slightest worry to our patron, Wolf.
Back to Ben. Franklin was known for his admonishments to temperance, but the man enjoyed a drink, like many of the founding fathers. He liked his wine, and according to one article, “A brewer and distiller in his own right, he’s also famous for coming up with The Drinker’s Dictionary, over 200 euphemisms for getting tore up. Among my favorites: “Piss’d in the Brook,” “Wamble Crop’d,” and “Been too free with Sir John Strawberry.”
Heck, our first President, George Washington, had a still from which he produced 11,000 gallons of whiskey in 1799. He was known to put away four bottles of wine during an evening of dancing.
Thomas Jefferson imported thousands of bottles of wine from Europe. And can you say Sam Adams, who brewed his own beer? The colonials did not have access to clean water, so much of what they drank was alcoholic, from beer to mead to wine to hard cider and whiskey. Even kids drank a low alcohol content beer.
Remember the Tea Party? Ya gotta read this article. Is it possible that our revolution wasn’t kicked off in honor of tea so much as alcohol? Hmmm…that would make for some fun research.
At any rate, pubs (or taverns as they were called) played a big part in communications during revolutionary times. A tavern was a hotel, a bar, a restaurant, a post office, often a dancing hall, and an all around meeting place during colonial times. Interesting that Gov. Andrew Cuomo and other Democrat (commie) governors have been keen to shut down bars and dining establishments during the Year of the Covid, the NWO’s kick-off to their plan for complete world dominance. Cue Mike Myers, please.
And speaking of the New World Order, I remember former President George H. W. Bush. I found a video where he gives four speeches (the vid shows just the snippets) that mention the New World Order. Good God in Heaven, were we all just snoozing when this jerk was talking about this stuff?

I can’t help but think of his last years. Confined to a wheelchair, the old coot would grab women’s rears and grin like a demented monkey. A fitting end for someone who has done such harm to our Republic. May he forever be a potent reminder of the foolishness of the so-called elites, who sought to recreate the Tower of Babel in our time.
Our President is revving things up for getting rid of Section 230. It will be terribly sweet to see Twitter and the other tech giants get their comeuppance.
For purposes of National Security, Section 230 must be immediately terminated!!!
And just to finish up, wasn’t it so fitting and just in time for Thanksgiving that the Supreme Court slapped that insane clown, Andrew Cuomo, down? Freedom of religion!
This discussion is PRIMARILY for the GEEKS, but not exclusively. Non-geeks are welcome to comment, but I ask that you keep your comments 100% on topic – the features, functions, content and security of the new website. Our migration per se – not the long train of abuses which led to it.
This discussion will get long, and I don’t want to sort through ANY news about the election, The Steal, etc. Words of encouragement, prayer, blessing and spiritual protection are welcome, but keep them lean and mean.
This thread is 100% business.
If you’ve made prior comments on tech on other threads, that you feel are still relevant, feel free to REPOST THEM HERE. I don’t have time to do this myself.
NOW – down to business.
I have obviously rescinded my prior request that we not upload new header images – and as the first to violate that request, I invite other authors to follow suit.
Not only that, I am going to let authors begin following Flep’s latest posts, and just post all their images in the site media bucket. We have 50% left. I think that gives us plenty of time to move the site.
I REPEAT. Authors no longer need to store their images elsewhere. Use this site’s media bucket, as much as you want. This applies to ALL images – header and non-header.
I will reimpose the moratorium on new pictures when we do the final transition to the new site – not before then.
This process will be longer than expected, so I’m giving up on a SHARP transition, in favor of a SMOOTH transition.
The header image I have used on this post is a screen capture of the new site, which is actually functional right now. Here is a bigger picture of the home page.
Our new site is a WordPress site much like here, except none of YOU ALL are members yet, because I have not yet approved your first comments.
If you – as a currently approved commenter on this blog – want to spin the wheels, please feel free to visit, leave a comment, and let me approve it.
There are technical reasons why I’m limiting this to currently approved posters for the moment.
I am not guaranteeing that this test site will remain, but we will see. I am hoping that what I have there now is sufficient. Obviously I haven’t even modified the “Sample Page” stuff in the corner, but no biggie.
Don’t leave any “essential information of historical import” on the new site – it may not be saved. Better to leave it on THIS THREAD, which will be saved if at all possible.
Our current theme here is called Independent Publisher 2. I ended up using this theme for The U Tree, too, because it is a great theme and people HERE love it. Sadly, that theme was “deprecated” even back then, and now it appears to be GONE from what is available to me on our new host, which is very close to or exactly “latest version” WordPress.
Instead, the new site is currently using something called Draftly.
We will deal with THEME stuff later. Right now, we need to get MIGRATION and IMPORT to work.
It is important to understand that a WordPress administrator on WordPress.com is only an ADMIN inside the WordPress framework. On this site, I have NO POWERS outside the WordPress API. I can even delete the site, as part of the API, and I can create new sites, but I have no powers outside what WordPress.com allocates to me though THEIR IMPLEMENTATION of the WordPress software.
Now – that is still a LOT of power, but it gives me only one choice in terms of exporting the old website.
Exporting our site from WordPress.com creates XML files of data – in our case an astounding 1.5 GB of XML data, broken into 8 huge XML files, between 67 MB and 388 MB. All of this was received in a ZIP archive of about 167 MB.
Note that the unpacked XML data is about the same size as our media bucket – roughly 1.5 GB.
The exported XML files include a lot of private data from our users – they will not be shared. HOWEVER, the beginning of the first one is interesting:
I am still working on importing this data via the new WordPress API – which is not exactly as described in the XML above. Things are thus not working exactly as specified in the XML above. I will be more specific in comments below – it’s an active mess.
BUT – bottom line – we have a new site up, and it will be wickedly hard for us to be deplatformed from it. Our first boats are on the shore of the New World.
