The Roundup

Election Day in the US is only just a few days away and things are going wild!

Only four days to go until Election Day in the United States and things are going wild.

Tucker Carlson's Evil Encounter

Tucker Carlson recently claimed that he had a direct encounter with evil. Was it when he did his interview with Vladimir Putin, which happened earlier this year? No. Carlson said that the evil he encountered was a demon who he said attacked him in bed while his wife and four dogs slept nearby. He said that the demon had left claw marks on his body.

Carlson made his claim in an interview for an upcoming documentary called Christianities?, which has just released an excerpt featuring the Tucker Carlson interview.

The Georgian Elections

There were elections in the nation of Georgia this past weekend which included the Kremlin-backed Georgian Dream party becoming poised to take over the country. This vote was seriously marred by reports of intimidation, manipulation of the vote, and accusations of election falsification. This vote is also alarming because prior to the election the Georgian Dream party has passed a Russian-style "foreign agents" law targeting media and non-government groups that receive foreign funding, as well as a law curbing LGBT rights. There were massive protests against the election results a few days ago, with this tweet saying “president of Georgia called on citizens to protest the disputed election results to save the country's ‘European future’ and the people of Georgia delivered.”

Iran is Behind Much of the Pro-Palestinian Protests in the US

Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines said in a statement that the Iranian government is covertly encouraging American protests over Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza in a bid to stoke outrage ahead of the November 5 election. The sad part is that it will inspire some people to vote for Jill Stein, who is claiming to be the only anti-genocide candidate (despite all evidence to the contrary), which could siphon enough votes away from Kamala Harris to give Donald Trump just enough votes to win in the upcoming election.

The European Greens are Urging Jill Stein to Abandon Her Campaign

The European Greens are urging US Green Party candidate Jill Stein to withdraw her campaign and support Kamala Harris. As this excerpt states:

Donald Trump has promised that if he becomes President again, he will extend abortion bans, deny members of the LGBTQIA+ community their rights, and deport migrants en masse. Like other ultra-conservative politicians across the globe with whom he has close relationships such as Vladimir Putin, Viktor Orbán, and Jair Bolsonaro he would undermine democracy. 

The statement goes on to say:

European Greens also highlight the divergent values and policies of themselves and Jill Stein’s US Green Party. There is no link between the two, as the US Greens are no longer a member of the global organisation of Green parties. In part this fissure resulted from their relationship with parties with authoritarian leaders, and serious policy differences on key issues including Russia’s full scale assault on Ukraine.

You can read the rest of the statement here. As for Jill Stein, it's obvious that she is now completely at the behest of both Donald Trump and the Kremlin. She will not withdraw her campaign before November 5 unless her overlords tell her to do so. This is the reason why the US Green Party is totally beyond redemption at this point. I believe that it's time to form a new progressive environmentally-focused party in the US that is completely independent from all interference from authoritarian dictators and would be willing to work with the European Greens in close cooperation as part of a worldwide movement.

The Kremlin is at it Again

The Kremlin is ramping up its efforts to affect the US presidential election. Recently it was behind this fake viral video showing ripped-up Trump ballots in Pennsylvania.

Was J.D. Vance Really Truthful in His Memoir?

Before J.D. Vance entered politics (with a little help from his mentor Peter Thiel) his biggest claim to fame was that he was the author of his bestselling memoir Hillbilly Elegy where he wrote about what it was like to be in Appalachia. That book was controversial among Applachians who wrote their own responses refuting what Vance wrote in that book.

There are accusations that Vance may not have been fully truthful about his family's past in his book. In one passage Vance wrote about how his mother was the salutatorian of her high school graduating class yet she never made it to college.

Not too long ago Peter McCartt posted this on Twitter/X: “I am from Middletown OH, home of JD Vance. I graduated from Middletown High School w/ his mother Bev. In his book he said she was the Salutatorian, little problem, we didn't have a Salutatorian, she's not even in the top 1/3 of my class. See a scan of my H.S. Graduation program:”

Sure enough if you see that scan of Middletown High School's 1978 Annual Commencement Exercises, you'll see Beverly Vance's name without any symbols next to her name indicating member of the National Honor Society, upper one-third of class, or even a grade point average of 3.5 to 3.7499.

Based on that program it looks like Beverly Vance's grades never went above a 3.4 average. There's nothing wrong with that. It's obvious that she did the minimum requirements needed to get a high school diploma, which is an achievement itself. I don't understand why J.D. Vance felt the need to exaggerate his mother's high school academic achievement in his memoir unless he felt that people would like the book better if he painted a false portrait of his mother as a stereotypical egghead despite her humble background.

Elon Musk Confesses About His and Trump's Plan to Deliberately Crash the US Economy

Donald Trump's big benefactor, Elon Musk has openly confessed that he and Trump know that their plan to immediately deporting at least 11 million immigrants along with implementing other policies (like cutting Social Security) after the election will crash the US economy but it's part of their plan. The idea is to deliberately crash the economy to the ground so that he can assist Trump in rebuilding it and it will lead to a rapid recovery. So what if a lot of people will be financially hurt in the short term and it could lead to a worldwide depression? It's all being done in the name of efficiency.

As this tweet from Anonymous points out, “Of course Musk is OK with collapsing the economy. Think of it from a strategic standpoint: If you’re starving, you’ll obey and do anything to get food. That's the plan. Kicking 11 million people out of the country and pushing heavy tariffs will collapse the US economy rapidly. The Executive and Judicial branches will negate the Legislative branch (Congress), meaning Trump and Elon will have free reign to do what they want. America is at a precipice.”

Remember when Elon Musk first bought Twitter in late 2022 it was worth $44 billion. After he laid off a lot of employees, changed the name to X, and drove away advertisers due to less moderation and Musk’s frequent promotion of far-right accounts, that social media platform is now worth $9.4 billion.

Elon Musk's Daily $1 Million Giveaway Faces Legal Challenges

After awarding $1 million per day to a random swing state voter who signed his petition calling for keeping the US Constitution's First and Second Amendments (the freedom of speech and the right to bear arms), Elon Musk is finally facing legal challenges. Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner has filed a civil lawsuit against Musk in a Pennsylvania state court related to those daily sweepstakes. The first hearing was scheduled to be held on Halloween but Musk failed to show up. Musk's lawyer has asked the judge for the case to be moved to federal court in an effort to delay the case until after Election Day.

Elon Musk Tricks People Into Working on Behalf of Trump

This Wired story is wild. People who answered a job ad were flown to Michigan by Musk's own America PAC, driven in the back of a U-Haul, and were told that they would have to pay hotel bills unless they reached unrealistic quotas. One person said that he was even surprised that he was working for Donald Trump's campaign.

The Question of Elon Musk Being a US Citizen

Elon Musk, who was born in South Africa but is a naturalized US citizen, frequently complains on Twitter/X about the presence of illegal immigrants in the US. This old video recently surfaced of a chat with Elon Musk and his brother Kimbal where Kimbal admitted that they were once illegal immigrants to the US themselves.

If there is evidence to support the accusation that Musk had worked in the US without authorization then lied about it as part of the immigration process, he could be subjected to denaturalization and deported.

Donald Trump Calls For Guns Being Aimed at Liz Cheney's Face

In the waning days of the campaign Donald Trump is using violent rhetoric against one of his opponents Liz Cheney.

Trump is Laying Down Some Roots to Repeat What He Did After the 2020 Election

Donald Trump has never conceded his loss in the 2020 election and he organized that attempted coup in Washington, DC on January 6, 2021. Even if Kamala Harris wins on Tuesday it won't be over. He is already stoking fear over voter fraud in Pennsylvania before Election Day.

In addition Donald Trump is openly talking about a secret election plot with Speaker of the House Mike Johnson.

And Finally

Over the past several years I've seen photos of some of Donald Trump's most devoted followers wear the craziest outfits and it's still continuing up to Election Day. Here's a woman wearing a Donald Trump t-shirt which says “M.I.L.F.: Man I Love Felons.”

Then there are the Halloween costume of these Trump supporters. They wore garbage bags marked “MAGA GARBAGE” in response to President Joe Biden's remark that the Puerto Ricans he knows are good, decent, honorable people while the only garbage he sees are Trump supporters. Biden made that remark in response to last Sunday's infamous Trump rally at Madison Square Garden where a so-called “comedian” named Tony Hinchcliffe made an unfunny joke about Puerto Rico being a floating island of garbage. In homage of their leader Donald Trump dressing up as a garbage man as a response to Biden's remarks, these supporters are dressing up as garbage bags for Halloween.
