					<description><![CDATA[&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;The extent of the fraud meant that in some areas, the number of votes recorded to have been cast was greater than the number of people able to vote.&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;


Well, not to worry. That was Hitler!!! That was the bad kind of fraud and intimidation!

Although some similar claims have been made with regard to the recent U.S. presidential election we are informed by the most sincere and trustworthy church ladies of the press that the number of votes tallied did not exceed the number of registered voters - or maybe more accurately, the sum of names registered as voters on the rolls.

Though some scandal mongers do persist in looking at the supposed problem from another angle.

&#124;
JUDICIAL WATCH
New Judicial Watch Study Finds 353 U.S. Counties in 29 States with Voter Registration Rates Exceeding 100%

1.8 Million ‘Extra’ Registered Voters

(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today that a September 2020 study revealed that 353 U.S. counties had 1.8 million more registered voters than eligible voting-age citizens. In other words, the registration rates of those counties exceeded 100% of eligible voters. The study found eight states showing state-wide registration rates exceeding 100%: Alaska, Colorado, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, Rhode Island, and Vermont.&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Well, whatever.  There were no election illegalities and there was no election fraud. Or if there were technical illegalities as in Pennsylvania and Atlanta,  it didn&#039;t matter because the authorities Oked them and you did not see what you thought you saw. 

And if there was any outright vote fraud, it was not widespread. And if it was widespread geographically, that which was proved was not enough to influence the outcome of the races, or at least presidential race. And if it did, it was a good thing. 

And no one was or is threatening political violence, except maybe her ...

... and maybe a few others


So, now that we all know how progressive law works, and that the parties involved who deserve to be listened to have declared it all nice and legit, shut up and obey as TC has aptly framed it; or we will burn your house down, in a mostly peaceful and not objectionably illegal fashion.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Well it should certainly be &quot;interesting&quot;. Though no doubt all the usual suspects will blame Netanyahu, seeing that that&#039;s the blame-game auto-reflex in such situations (i.e., if/when Trump&#039;s not available to get blamed).

					<description><![CDATA[William L. Shirer has a brief discussion of the segment of the apparat whose task it was to discover who voted &#039;no&#039; in Hitler&#039;s referenda and what methods they used to mark the ballots so each could be identified with a given voter.  

I wouldn&#039;t doubt the Regime had majority support prior to the War.  Growth rates in real per capita product in Germany during the period running from 1933 to 1939 exceeded those of every other occidental country.  Hitler was also able to effectively abrogate the disarmament provisions in the Versailles Treaty and persuade Britain to ratify that with the Anglo-German Naval Treaty.  In addition, Hitler was able by the fall of 1938 to successfully press irridentist claims and seize the larger of the Germanophone territories adjacent to the Reich practicable to hold.  (Of the remainder pan-German sentiment was weak in Alsace-Lorraine and negligible in Switzerland; getting the Germanophone segment of South Tyrol required negotiating with Mussolini; Danzig was actually a de facto dependency of Germany by 1935; and Memelland was seized without incident in March 1939).  As for the Regime&#039;s abuses, it&#039;s a reasonable wager 1/3 of the population was pretending it wasn&#039;t happening and another 1/3 was pretending the victims had it coming.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Zaphod:

I am fairly sure it was sufficient.  People were terrified, and rightly so.  Hitler was in total control anyway.  There was no legislature anymore.  Political enemies had been killed or imprisoned.  Other parties had been abolished.  

That 1934 vote was a referendum, by the way. Hitler was already Chancellor and in complete control.  The 1934 vote was merely to merge the offices of Chancellor and President.  &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org rel=&quot;nofollow ugc&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow ugc&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow ugc&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow ugc&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow ugc&quot;&gt;Here&#039;s some summary info&lt;/a&gt;:

&lt;blockquote&gt;The referendum was associated with widespread intimidation of voters, and Hitler used the resultant large &quot;yes&quot; vote to claim public support for his activities as the de facto head of state of Germany. In fact, he had assumed these offices and powers immediately upon Hindenburg&#039;s death and used the referendum to legitimise that move and take the title Führer und Reichskanzler (Führer and Chancellor). 

Hitler had known as early as April 1934 that Hindenburg would likely be dead before the year was out. He spent much of the spring and summer working to get the armed forces to support him as Hindenburg&#039;s successor. Hitler was well aware that with the passage of the Enabling Act and the banning of all parties other than the Nazis a year earlier, Hindenburg was the only check on his power. Hindenburg still had the right to dismiss Hitler from office, now the only way by which Hitler could be legally dismissed.[citation needed] The fact that Hindenburg was the only check on Hitler&#039;s power was brought home earlier in 1934. In the wake of escalating Nazi excesses, Hindenburg threatened to declare martial law unless Hitler took immediate steps to end the tension. Hitler responded by ordering the Night of the Long Knives, in which several SA leaders, most notably Ernst Röhm, were murdered along with several of Hitler&#039;s other past rivals.

On 1 August, with Hindenburg&#039;s death imminent, Hitler had the cabinet pass the &quot;Law Concerning the Highest State Office of the Reich&quot;, which merged the offices of president (head of state) and chancellor (head of government) under the title of Leader and Chancellor (Führer und Reichskanzler).Hindenburg died the following day, and two hours later, Hitler issued a decree announcing that in accordance with the new law, he had assumed the president&#039;s powers. He publicly argued that the presidency had become so linked with Hindenburg that the title should not be used again.

Immediately after Hindenburg&#039;s death on 2 August, defence minister and commander-in-chief Werner von Blomberg ordered all members of the Reichswehr (armed forces) to take an oath to the Führer...

This was wording of the referendum question:

    The office of the President of the Reich is unified with the office of the Chancellor. Consequently all former powers of the President of the Reich are demised to the Führer and Chancellor of the Reich Adolf Hitler. He himself nominates his substitute.
    Do you, German man and German woman, approve of this regulation provided by this Law?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

So it was a yes or no vote for that, not a vote about Hitler.  Nor were any alternatives to Hitler left anymore.  If you still think that 90% vote represented 90% support among Germans for Hitler, understand that the phrase &quot;voter intimidation&quot; is a euphemism for what actually occurred (which of course included fraud, too): 

&lt;blockquote&gt;The government used widespread intimidation and electoral fraud to secure a large &quot;yes&quot; vote. This included stationing storm troopers at polling stations and forcing clubs and societies to march to polling stations escorted by Nazi storm troopers and then to vote in public. In some places, polling booths were removed, or banners reading &quot;only traitors enter here&quot; hung over the entrances to discourage secret voting. In addition, many ballot papers were premarked with &quot;yes&quot; votes, spoiled ballot papers were frequently counted as having been &quot;yes&quot; votes and many &quot;no&quot; votes were recorded to have been in favour of the referendum question. The extent of the fraud meant that in some areas, the number of votes recorded to have been cast was greater than the number of people able to vote.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Voters in heavily Jewish districts were allowed to vote &quot;no&quot; in order for their votes to be used to justify further actions against Jews, who were stripped of citizenship not long after.

I suggest you also read a book entitled &lt;i&gt;The Nazi Seizure of Power&lt;/i&gt; by William Sheridan Allen.  It deals with how power was seized by the Nazis on the micro level of a single town, which was typical of how it was done elsewhere. It&#039;s a very depressing but very important read.

There was nothing about that 1934 referendum that was valid.  Yes, Hitler had support, but it had been about a third of the German people.  The truth is that we can never know for sure what percentage of Germans ended up supporting him.  My guess is that his support increased during the &quot;he made the trains run on time&quot; years, perhaps even to a majority.  But my guess is that the war years ended that majority approval, if it even ever existed.  As I said, no way to know. But never was he elected - not even in 1934.  There was no official opposition left - it had been destroyed.]]></description>

This included stationing storm troopers at polling stations and forcing clubs and societies to march to polling stations escorted by Nazi storm troopers and then to vote in public. In some places, polling booths were removed, or banners reading &#8220;only traitors enter here&#8221; hung over the entrances to discourage secret voting. In addition, many ballot papers were premarked with &#8220;yes&#8221; votes, spoiled ballot papers were frequently counted as having been &#8220;yes&#8221; votes and many &#8220;no&#8221; votes were recorded to have been in favour of the referendum question. The extent of the fraud meant that in some areas, the number of votes recorded to have been cast was greater than the number of people able to vote.</p></blockquote>
<p>Voters in heavily Jewish districts were allowed to vote &#8220;no&#8221; in order for their votes to be used to justify further actions against Jews, who were stripped of citizenship not long after.</p>
<p>I suggest you also read a book entitled <i>The Nazi Seizure of Power</i> by William Sheridan Allen.  It deals with how power was seized by the Nazis on the micro level of a single town, which was typical of how it was done elsewhere. It&#8217;s a very depressing but very important read.</p>
<p>There was nothing about that 1934 referendum that was valid.  Yes, Hitler had support, but it had been about a third of the German people.  The truth is that we can never know for sure what percentage of Germans ended up supporting him.  My guess is that his support increased during the &#8220;he made the trains run on time&#8221; years, perhaps even to a majority.  But my guess is that the war years ended that majority approval, if it even ever existed.  As I said, no way to know. But never was he elected &#8211; not even in 1934.  There was no official opposition left &#8211; it had been destroyed.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[&quot;...framed as the fault of Trump...&quot;

Absolutely.
The country is so saturated with round-the-clock Democratic party/media/info-tech lies that we may well be past the tipping point.

So how does one claw back from so pervasive, so ubiquitous a cesspit of untruth?
How can one even function?

...as further lies, and ever more blatant ones, must necessarily be fabricated and disseminated globally and ceaselessly in order to cover up those lies that were broadcast before them, ad infinitum....

And when such an immense and intricate coverup can only be sustained by fomenting hatred and inciting civil war?

What happens when this belabored ship of grotesque mendacity collides with the iceberg of reality?

And how can one possibly avoid the necessary catastrophe?]]></description>
