Obergruppenführ er Scott has spoken.

Excerpt:

"On the heels of Oregon governor Kate Brown encouraging people to call the police on neighbors who violate her Thanksgiving prohibitions comes another snitch-seeking measure 3,000 miles away:

Vermont governor Phil Scott wants his state’s schools to interrogate students about their Thanksgiving activities when classes resume after holiday break."

The Mayflower Compact was signed shortly after landfall on November 11, 1620. It read:

The document was created because the Pilgrims were unable to reach the mouth of Hudson Bay, where they planned to settle. So instead they decided to plant a colony at Plymouth, outside of the boundaries of the Virginia colony and far from any English aid. There was considerable rancour and the Compact was written to bind the colonists to the decision they had collectively made.

And after the intial failures of the colony, the bounty of the third year led William Bradford to issue this proclamation of Thanksgiving:

Governor Bradford of Massachusetts made this first Thanksgiving Proclamation three years after the Pilgrims settled at Plymouth:

"Inasmuch as the great Father has given us this year an abundant harvest of Indian corn, wheat, peas, beans, squashes, and garden vegetables, and has made the forests to abound with game and the sea with fish and clams, and inasmuch as He has protected us from the ravages of the savages, has spared us from pestilence and disease, has granted us freedom to worship God according to the dictates of our own conscience.

Now I, your magistrate, do proclaim that all ye Pilgrims, with your wives and ye little ones, do gather at ye meeting house, on ye hill, between the hours of 9 and 12 in the daytime, on Thursday, November 29th, of the year of our Lord one thousand six hundred and twenty three and the third year since ye Pilgrims landed on ye Pilgrim Rock, there to listen to ye pastor and render thanksgiving to ye Almighty God for all His blessings."

Ye Governor of Ye Colony

This from the archives:

Hereis the story of how the Pilgrims nearly starved thanks to socialism - and how freeing the market made them prosper. It's why they were able to have the first Thanksgiving.

From the article:

Hardly. The "common property” approach killed off about half the settlers. Governor Bradford recorded in his diary that everybody was happy to claim their equal share of production, but production only shrank. Slackers showed up late for work in the fields, and the hard workers resented it. It’s called "human nature.”

The disincentives of the socialist scheme bred impoverishment and conflict until, facing starvation and extinction, Bradford altered the system. He divided common property into private plots, and the new owners could produce what they wanted and then keep or trade it freely.

The Covid thing always was a dress rehearsal for martial law.

From Steven Milloy

Climate communists press Biden to use COVID emergency lockdowns as a template for a climate lockdown.

From Bloomberg News:

"Invoking a climate emergency could give Biden the authority to circumvent Congress & fund clean energy projects, shut down oil exports, suspend offshore drilling & curtail the movement of fossil fuels on pipelines, trains, & ships."

Check this out; one in six Biden votes would have flipped for Trump had the media reported the Biden scandals, according to a new poll.

From the Federalist article:

A new report from the Media Research Center shows that the media’s lack of coverage and big tech’s suppression of certain issues and scandals surrounding Democratic Presidential Nominee Joe Biden could have cost President Donald Trump the election.

The survey results report that 17 percent of Biden voters would not have voted for the Biden-Harris presidential ticket if they had known about at least one of the eight news stories that were suppressed by big tech and mainstream media outlets.

"This is not happenstance. This is not coincidence. This is not oversight and this is not just a mistake,” president and founder of Media Research Center Brent Bozell said at a press conference Tuesday. "These were deliberate decisions that were made thousands of times, literally thousands of times, to either twist or to not cover it at all,which we found in this case.”

The survey, conducted online by The Polling Company with a +/- 2.34 percent margin of error at a 95 percent confidence interval, asked 1,750 Biden voters living in seven swing states (Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin) if they were aware of certain issues surrounding Biden, his family, and some of the Trump administration’s successes.

Proof of the Deep State.

The bureaucracy believes it is the real government and the elected officials are the ones who have to toe the line. This is proof America is being governed by a shadow government of faceless bureaucrats. Now they have just decided Joe Biden won and are acting accordingly - even though the election is not over.

From the Christian Post article:

The United States General Services Administration head, Emily Murphy, has approved the transition process, following a period of refusing to formally begin the process.

"I have always strived to do what is right,” wrote Murphy to Biden, as reported by The Washington Post."I was never directly or indirectly pressured by any Executive Branch official — including those who work at the White House or GSA — with regard to the substance or timing of my decision.”

Murphy recounted getting threats "online, by phone, and by mail directed at my safety, my family, my staff, and even my pets in an effort to coerce me into making this determination prematurely.”

For his part, President Donald Trump tweeted that he approved of the formal process so that the harassment of Murphy and others at the GSA would stop.

Shouldn't Google and Facebook and Twitter be charged with campaign financing violations, since they clearly donated to the Biden campaign via in-kind contributions?

In July of this year, Natural News reported how California Gov. Gavin Newsom was caught wiring half a billion dollars to communist China as part of a "massive face mask money laundering scheme."Back in April, even the mainstream media was questioning what Newsom was up to when it was revealed that he had wired half a billion dollars to an electric car company in China to supposedly purchase "N-95 masks” for the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19). This decision was never voted on or approved by legislators, and when pressed about the details of the deal, Newsom refused to disclose them.Keep in mind that this half a billion dollars was just the first of two installments amounting to a full billion dollars being sent China to supposedly purchase face masks for Californians – face masks that never actually arrived, by the way. As of this writing, the Chinese electric car company in question, BYD, still has the money and has yet to send over a single face mask.Now, bombshell information is emerging that indicates Georgia Gov. Kemp may be involved in exactly the same scheme. These state officials send huge amounts of money to China under the cover of buying "covid supplies," then China launders the money into financial kickbacks for the Governor's family members or business entities. This is exactly what is now being alleged by attorney Lin Wood, and it describes a shocking pattern of communist Chinese infiltration and corruption of U.S. governors. (See the full interview posted below.) Listen at 6:17 as Lin Wood explains:I believe that Brian Kemp is corrupt, and I think he was corrupted with Chinese money. And I don't think he wants this election overthrown and the real results posted because then Brian Kemp is going to be facing a Trump administration Attorney General, and Brian Kemp would find himself in jail. It's that simple. He sold himself out, now he's trying to hide to try to get this election validated even though it's illegal, because if it's invalidated, Brian Kemp and a lot of other Georgia people are in trouble, including the Secretary of State.Also, at the 17:00 mark:I'm a defamation lawyer. I have stated publicly that Brian Kemp and Raffensperger are corrupt and they took money from the Chinese on the covid deal and on the Dominion voting deal. I bet you anything Brian Kemp won't sue me for defamation. Because he knows if he did, he'd go into court, I'd have discovery, and I would prove that he did it, that it's true.Other indy media sources are also reporting that the Trump administration, via the NSA, has proof of the financial transactions that show Kemp and Raffensperger taking bribery money from communist China. Trump was waiting for Kemp and Raffensperger to complete the crime of "certifying" Georgia's voting results before moving against them for criminal fraud and corruption. We are now hearing that communist China ran a web of financial kickbacks and bribes to multiple governors and state officials across America, including California and Georgia, with many other states soon to follow. In every case, governors and state officials transferred huge sums of money to Chinese front companies for "covid supplies" that were either never delivered, or delivered as low-cost, low-quality items nowhere near the stated value. A portion of the extra funds was paid back to family members and specially structured business entities connected to the state officials, giving them control over the illicit funds. We fully expect Oregon Gov. Kate Brown to soon be implicated in this same criminal corruption scheme. NY Gov. Cuomo is likely also involved This story is developing, and more information will be emerging this week. Expect criminal indictments soon.

One in three motorists cannot afford even the cheapest electric car, warn experts in blow to Government plans to ban petrol and diesel cars by 2030

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8971487/One-three-motorists-afford-cheapest-electric-car-warn-experts.html

* Figure equivalent to ten million households, shows ordinary family will struggle
* Middle-earning households may not be able to afford cheapest electric cars

A third of motorists are unable to afford even the cheapest electric car, experts warn.

The figure – equivalent to ten million households – highlights how many ordinary families will struggle to finance the switch from petrol and diesel cars being pushed by ministers.

Even middle-earning households will have difficulty paying for one of the cheapest leased electric vehicles – the £170-a-month Skoda Citigo.

Tim adds:

That's the idea; get everyone OUT of private vehicles and onto the strictly controled public transit. Then they have everyone udner their thumb. See Agenda 21/30.
