Robinson's Monster Thread: How the 2020 Election Was Stolen and What Happened on Election Day 2024 to Stop the Steal

 

Emerald Robinson ✝️

Emerald Robinson @EmeraldRobinson

1. It’s time to explain exactly what happened on Election Day 2024 to stop the steal. This will be a very long thread starting HERE. It involves quite a few people over 4 years. A dozen sources. We must begin just after the rigged 2020 election.

View on Twitter

2. Let’s begin the story in December 2020. Why? Because President Trump wanted election fraud investigated. He told his team to hire someone to discover the truth about the voting machines. Multiple sources tell me an ex-CIA investigator was hired for the job.

3. That investigator reported that claims of election fraud were overblown. Some DOJ lawyers also wanted election fraud investigated. Those efforts were blocked by AG Bill Barr’s staff including Barr’s CoS Will Levi. Levi threatened to quit if any cases were launched.

4. Also in Dec 2020, a group of NatSec analysts briefed the White House that enough evidence of election fraud existed to launch a full USG investigation. In Jan 2021, several GOP Senators were briefed as well. Neither the WH nor the Senators authorized the investigation.

5. A few people tried to alert President Trump about the NatSec analyst briefing and the need for a full investigation in late 2020 but those efforts were blocked by WH Counsel Pat Cipollone - according to two sources. Cipollone joined Bill Barr’s law firm on Jan 17, 2024.

6. Chris Krebs, the head of a small agency called CISA (which is inside DHS) sent out a press release in late 2020 claiming the 2020 election “...was the most secure in American history.” Krebs was not a cybersecurity expert. Who hired him? The head of DHS: Chad Wolf.

7. Krebs was hired because he was Chad Wolf’s close friend. He worked at CISA coordinating with leftwing orgs like Democracy Works to “prepare” for the 2020 election. Trump fired Krebs a week after he dismissed Defense Secretary Mark Esper.

8. Trump removed Esper. Chris Miller & Ezra Cohen were rushed in to Pentagon on Nov 11th because Esper stopped responding to WH. WH officials feared a “soft coup” was taking place. On Nov 18th, Miller put all Special Forces under his direct command.

When I was deposed by Dominion lawyers in 2024, I was asked specifically about this tweet from Nov 10th 2020 because it was (I was told) the first mention on social media of a link between Smartmatic and Dominion. That’s an important point. https://x.com/EmeraldRobinson/status/1326232608137752576

10. (#9 missing) On Nov 11, 2020 I noted on Twitter that Mark Malloch Brown — the best friend of global villain George Soros — was listed on the board of directors for Smartmatic. https://x.com/EmeraldRobinson/status/1326732023386529801

Dominion Voting Systems leads you to Smartmatic which leads you to Mark Malloch Brown. Who is he? He’s the best friend of George Soros. No, I’m not kidding. https://archive.triblive.com/news/george-soros-sir-mark-malloch-brown/

11. By Nov 12 2020, any mention of Mark Malloch Brown and his leading role with Smartmatic had been wiped from the company’s website.

12. On Nov 19 2020, Rudy Giuliani & Sidney Powell held a press conference at RNC headquarters. Powell claimed that Dominion-brand machines were using Smartmatic software. She also claimed Smartmatic’s software was developed in Venezuela for dictator Hugo Chavez.

By mid-November, public network scans of Dominion made by military intel analysts were available through legal filings in Michigan. What these documents revealed about America’s election system was damning. https://x.com/EmeraldRobinson/status/1332360502257872898

On Dec 18, Trump met with Sidney Powell, Michael Flynn & Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne at WH. They urged Trump to launch an investigation of the voting machines. WH staffers Pat Cipollone, Eric Herschmann & Derek Lyons all argued against doing it.

15. December 18th was also the due date for DNI Ratcliffe to submit a report to President Trump on foreign interference in the 2020 election. Ratcliffe missed the deadline. https://x.com/EmeraldRobinson/status/1338944341889454081

16. Ratcliffe did not release his report until Jan 7th, 2021. Note the date of release. His report stated that CIA management actively suppressed intel that China interfered in the 2020 election. That’s right: the CIA was hiding China’s role in the 2020 election! Treason!

17. Ratcliffe confirmed that China interfered in the 2020 election & that CIA had tried to hide that fact but this info arrived too late to help President Trump. Here’s a link to Ratcliffe’s letter: https://context-cdn.washingtonpost.com/notes/prod/default/documents/6d274110-a84b-4694-96cd-6a902207d2bd/note/733364cf-0afb-412d-a5b4-ab797a8ba154.#page=1

18. On Jan 6th, almost 100 House Republicans and more than 12 GOP senators were ready to object to election results in Congress. Only an emergency could override and halt that day’s session. When an emergency happens, special rules apply in Congress.

[See the Gulfcoastcommentary Post: The Jan. ‘21 Parliamentary Procedural Motivations Behind the J6 “Fedsurrection”:

“A Coup D’Etat occurred January 6th, 2021 and was carefully planned by Dem and Repub traitors: Schumer, Pelosi, Pence, McConnell et alii. The past four years of national agony was the result.”]

19. Less than 10 minutes before two reps called a vote for motions to suspend the election certification, capitol police claimed that a protest outside might breach the chambers. Key leaders were escorted out. Speaker Pelosi then halted Congress using emergency rules. See the link on Gulfcoastcommentary just above.

20. January 6th was staged. Tier-1 operators & FBI agents present that day in the crowd (exercising their 1st Amendment rights) saw a red starlight shell fired over the Capitol just before the fake “insurrection” began. That shell is used to signal the start of battle.

21. After Jan 6th, the FBI WFO emailed all employees that, if they were on the Mall, they were required to give a statement. Some agents who didn’t volunteer were identified by others. They were required to give statements against their will. Those FD-302s are still secret.

22. The DOJ’s OIG later found the FBI had at least 26 Confidential Human Sources (CHSs) who were present at the Capitol on January 6th. None of the CHSs were ever prosecuted. https://oig.justice.gov/sites/default/files/reports/25-011.pdf

23. On Jan 7th, 2021: President Trump was banned from Twitter. On Jan 8th, 2021: Sidney Powell & Michael Flynn & Patrick Byrne were banned from Twitter. The coup was complete. The era of government censorship began.

24. On January 8th, Dominion filed a defamation lawsuit against Sidney Powell for $1.3 billion in damages. On January 25th, Dominion filed a similar lawsuit against Giuliani. Suits against Fox, OAN, Newsmax & others soon followed. Dominion’s lawyers are: Susman Godfrey LLP

25. On Feb 4th, Smartmatic filed a defamation lawsuit against Fox News for $2.7 billion in damages. On Nov 3rd, Smartmatic filed similar lawsuits against Newsmax & OAN. I was named as a witness in both the Dominion & Smartmatic cases against Newsmax.

26. In discovery, Dominion & Smartmatic were allowed to search the personal phones & private emails of TV hosts, TV producers & journalists. Not just emails but texts. This had never been allowed before in the history of American journalism. Courts ignored all press freedoms.

27. Trump was impeached for the 2nd time on January 13, 2021, one week before his term expired. The House adopted 1 article against him: incitement of insurrection. The Senate trial began on Feb 9. Final vote was 10 votes short of the two-thirds majority required to convict.

28. No GOP senator stated publicly at the time that January 6th was fabricated by the national security state to halt lawful investigations of election fraud. Instead, they went along with the coup. Most of them voted to confirm all of Biden’s Cabinet picks in 2021.

29. The illegal Biden regime started on Jan 20, 2021. As one of its first acts, the Biden regime allowed China to access the U.S. power grid. This made it clear: Joe Biden was owned & operated by the CCP. https://x.com/CurtisHouck/status/1353778819019272192

View on Twitter

30. Meanwhile, Dominion hired Clare Locke LLP to send letters to 150 people demanding they cease & desist from “taking part in defaming Dominion” & “to preserve all documents.” The voting machine companies were trying to make discussions of election fraud illegal or actionable.

31. On Feb 5th, Fox News pulled Lou Dobbs off the air. He was the highest-rated host on Fox Business. The day before, Dobbs and Fox were named in a $2.7B defamation lawsuit filed by Smartmatic. Any public figure who discussed election fraud was now a target to be fired.

32. That same day, @TIME magazine reporter Molly Ball published a cover story touting “the inside story of the conspiracy” which confirmed the 2020 election had been “fortified” by America’s elites to install Biden. The story had the opposite effect of what the author wished.

33. By Feb 2021, Rasmussen found 61% of GOP voters agreed “Biden did not win the election fairly.” Voters were already turning against GOP officials who called the election “secure.” House Republicans held their first vote to oust Liz Cheney as a leader. She was gone by May.

34. The illegal Biden regime knew its public support was already shaky in Feb 2021, so that month the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) contacted Trump to return “some documents” to them. This setup would lead to the FBI’s Mar-a-Lago raid in 2022.

35. On May 19, the House voted to form a “Committee on Jan 6th Attack” with 35 Republicans voting for it. Pelosi later made it a “select” committee with only two GOP members: Cheney & Kinzinger. A former CIA inspector general, David Buckley, served as its “staff director.”

36. By June, the Biden regime tried the ultimate power grab by putting all state elections under the control of the federal government through the “Freedom to Vote” bill. When the bill was blocked by GOP, Dems pressured Manchin & Sinema to end the Senate’s filibuster rules.

37. In Sept 2021, the Jan 6th Committee worked to change the 1887 Electoral Count Act. This was done to answer the “Dr. Eastman memo” which laid out a legal plan for how VP Pence could have certified the 2020 election in Trump’s favor. Congress passed the Reform Act in 2022.

38. On Nov 12th, Stephen Bannon was indicted on two counts of contempt of Congress after he refused to comply with Jan 6th Committee subpoenas. The Jan 6th Committee recommended contempt charges against Mark Meadows on Dec 13th.

39. By Dec 13th, the Jan 6th Committee had already obtained & leaked the text messages of Trump WH Chief of Staff Mark Meadows to left-wing media outlets. The illegally leaked texts included messages from Fox News hosts Laura Ingraham & Sean Hannity & Brian Kilmeade.

40. By fall 2021, the Biden regime was widely hated by the American people. The crowd at a NASCAR race chanted “F—- Joe Biden” on live TV in Oct & that same chant spread quickly to sports events at every venue in America. The Biden regime’s answer was to increase the tyranny.

41. Lawfare through our court system was used to destroy critics. News outlets were forced into major settlements to stop coverage of election fraud. People were silenced on social media by CIA & FBI agents giving orders through proxies.

42. Only a small group of people had paid close attention to the voting machine companies Smartmatic & Dominion before the 2020 election. Only a few people knew that certain companies were actually international criminal organizations.

43. In fact, there was a news segment by Lou Dobbs in 2006 that you should watch.

 

44. On Aug 8 2024, a federal grand jury in Florida indicted top Smartmatic executives for bribery & money laundering related to the 2016 elections in the Philippines. Roger Alejandro Pinate. Jorge Miguel Vasquez. Elie Moreno.

45. Election officials in the Philippines also wanted Smartmatic investigated for “changing the script in a transparency server without informing the Commission on Elections” since that change “put into question” the results of their May 9, 2016 election. Sound familiar?

46. Which bogus NGO was chosen to “observe” those 2016 elections? It was The Carter Center, headed by former President Jimmy Carter. It also “observed” the 2006 election in Venezuela. Carter himself later claimed that Venezuela had the “best electoral system in the world.”

47. In March 2005, Smartmatic acquired Sequoia Voting Systems which gave it significant control over U.S. elections. Smartmatic’s new machines were used in the Chicago primaries in March, 2006. The vote was halted in a key race there due to “problems” with the new machines.

48. After the issues in Chicago, an investigation of Smartmatic began in Oct 2006 by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S. (Cfius). Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) asked Bush Admin to review the Sequoia deal. Why? Smartmatic’s ownership was hidden in foreign trusts.

49. Smartmatic did not divulge its owners to Congress. Instead, it sold Seqouia to a small company in Canada called Dominion in Dec 2006. That ended the probe by CFIUS. But Dominion and Smartmatic were always linked.

50. In 2008 both companies worked together to “automate” the Philippine election system. In fact, Smartmatic once sued Dominion in Delaware for breaching a licensing agreement between them. So they were in bed together from the very beginning.

51. Just look at Smartmatic’s Venezuelan senior developer David Moreno who moved over to work at Sequoia in 2006 and then became “Director of Election Production & Testing” at Dominion. That’s how Smartmatic-Sequoia-Dominion got into our elections in 307 counties in 16 states.

52. In fact, Leamsy Salazar (ex special ops & security for communist dictator Hugo Chavez) had already provided an affidavit with the details of the Smartmatic-Dominion connection in Nov 2020. https://x.com/APjoshgoodman/status/1329553640491790337

Here is the rest of the redacted affidavit:

53. Four years after Salazar’s affidavit, a highly decorated CIA agent provided similar testimony about the election fraud scheme just before the 2024 election. https://x.com/ColonelReynolds/status/1849227043520520274

54. So a narco-terrorist state was actually in charge of our elections since 2006. The goal: to place communists into power & destroy America from within. But there was a small group of people who stopped this nightmare. Probably less than 30. They saved the world.

55. The first big mistake for Smartmatic: Juan Andres Bautista got a divorce. He was chief of elections in the Philippines (Comelec). In 2017, his wife disclosed docs which showed he was worth $1 billion. The DOJ launched an investigation.

56. Bautista was impeached. He fled to the USA. He refused to return to the Philippines amid a Senate probe. His wife entered the DOJ’s witness protection program. Money laundering & conspiracy charges against Bautista were filed on September 19, 2023.

57. Bautista (allegedly) received bribe money from top executives at Smartmatic for assistance in their bid to secure multimillion-dollar election contracts. But Smartmatic was NOT NAMED in US court records in 2023. Philippines officials wanted to know WHO HELPED Bautista.

58. In 2024, US authorities “dismissed reports that Bautista had been arrested” after money laundering & conspiracy charges were filed in August. “Bautista is not in US custody & we decline to comment further,” said Nicole Navas Oxman at Biden’s DOJ. What was going on?

59. According to my sources, Bautista disappeared because the CIA is hiding him. Why? Because USAID gave money to COMELEC to hire Smartmatic for the 2016 election in Philippines. Bautista can’t testify in US court that the US government provided the money.

60. After all, the CIA doesn’t want the American people to know that USAID is actually funding Smartmatic. That would be crazy, right? https://x.com/EmeraldRobinson/status/1887290681049149733

USAID is pushing Smartmatic into Bosnia right now.

61. The CIA wouldn’t still use USAID to fund Smartmatic even AFTER the DOJ itself had charged 15 of Venezuela’s top communist officials with running a “narco-terrorism conspiracy” in 2020? https://www.justice.gov/archives/opa/pr/nicol-s-maduro-moros-and-14-current-and-former-venezuelan-officials-charged-narco-terrorism

Former President of Venezuela Nicolás Maduro Moros, Venezuela’s vice president for the economy, Venezuela’s Minister of Defense, and Venezuela’s Chief Supreme Court Justice are among those charged in...

justice.gov/archives/opa/p…

“Nicolás Maduro Moros and 14 Current and Former Venezuelan Officials Charged with Narco-Terrorism, Corruption, Drug Trafficking and Other Criminal Charges”

62. Juan Andres Bautista’s divorce was not the only problem for Smartmatic. A group of former IC analysts had produced a document on 2020 election fraud that provided sufficient legal predicate to use NSA unprocessed raw signals data to prove the fraud by December 2020.

63. In Dec 2020, the NSC’s Director for Strategic Planning, Rich Higgins, gave a briefing on the document & the complete data set to both the White House and to President Trump’s attorney, Rudy Giuliani. On Jan 4, 2021, US Senators & staffers were also briefed on the document.

64. Among the US Senators who were briefed were Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.) & Ron Johnson (R-Wis.). Several NSC officials also got the documents. Neither Cramer nor Johnson nor Trump’s NSC officials tried to authorize the investigation outlined in the docs.

65. Had anyone called the phone number in the memo, they would have reached a senior legal counsel in the heart of the Pentagon. That one phone call would have launched an investigation using the unlimited resources of the US government.

66. We’re talking about the NSA’s raw signals data which captures every kind of electronic comms on earth. What people spent the last four years uncovering would have been uncovered in a few hours. And then sent to Trump. But the call never came.

67. The evidence of the 2020 election fraud is literally sitting in a DoD SCIF right now. And the same DoD legal counsel that was waiting for a single phone call from Trump to start an investigation in 2020 is still waiting for that phone call in 2025. Right now. Today.

68. Let’s assess the situation as it stood in 2021-2. Sidney Powell was being sued & silenced. Rudy Giuliani was being sued & silenced. Mike Lindell was being sued & silenced. Patrick Byrne was being sued & silenced. Fox, Newsmax, OAN were being sued & silenced.

69. That’s when more patriots showed up to fight. In April 2021, the County Clerk of Mesa County (Colorado) was told to “install” a software update that would overwrite the rigged 2020 general election records, which is a violation of federal law. Her name: Tina Peters.

70. So Tina Peters arranged for a consultant to make a forensic image of the server before (and after) the software “update.” By August 2021, the passwords & data associated with Mesa County’s 2020 election were leaked to the public. Colorado uses Dominion voting machines.

71. Experts who reviewed the forensic images found that Mesa County’s system did not meet Colorado’s certification requirements. Why? The system failed to generate & preserve audit trail files. In fact, its audit features were DISABLED.

72. Mesa’s system also had uncertified software installed, which is illegal. It also ALLOWS the automated destruction of election records. It allows unauthorized changes to vote totals since it contains 36 wireless networking devices built into the voting system by the vendor.

73. Two experts also found that new & unauthorized “shadow” databases were secretly created on the machine AFTER vote counting began. Thousands of ballots that had already been counted were then secretly re-processed inside the voting machine, undetected by election officials.

74. The system was also PRE-SET to erase critical records within a few days (including activity logs and user logins) which “covered the tracks” of anyone committing unauthorized access, software installation, or manipulation. This report was made public by September 2021.

75. Dominion & Colorado’s SoS destroyed all data on the hard drive of Mesa County’s machines one month after the April 2021 election even though federal & state laws require election records to be preserved for at least 22 months. Nobody went to jail except Tina Peters.

76. In August 2024, she was convicted on seven of ten charges of “engaging in a security breach to advance a false conspiracy theory of election fraud.” She was sentenced to 9 years in prison. But she had merely preserved election records which it was her sworn duty to do.

77. There was another group which investigated the stolen 2020 election from the very beginning. These men were intel professionals. One member was even inside Trump’s NSC. This group was known as the “Election steal foot patrol.”

78. Within a few days of the 2020 election, the “election steal foot patrol” was providing accurate information about the voting machines to various public figures. That’s because they had recruited former engineers from Smartmatic to map the entire system.

79. The Election Steal foot patrol put together a technical presentation (”the briefing”) to explain how the 2020 election was stolen in great detail. They provided the briefing to important public figures in 2020-1. They explained the 14 different ways to steal an election with machines.

80. The Election Steal foot patrol gave the briefing to senators including @Senator Ron Johnson & @Chuck Grassley. They did nothing. They briefed the House Freedom Caucus. They did nothing too.

81. According to my sources, the staff of the House Freedom Caucus were good but the members were too scared to do anything. The chief of staff for one member told them: “We don’t want to touch this.” In fact, only one Senator stood up for the truth. But that comes later...

82. The Election Steal foot patrol gave the briefing to one FBI agent in Washington DC. When it was over, the FBI agent told them to flee the city as soon as possible. Why? Because they would be KILLED BY THE FBI if anyone found out what they were doing.

83. The Election Steal foot patrol gave the briefing to lawyers working for Trump’s son-in-law a few days after the election in a building in Arlington VA. The foot patrol was basically “attacked” with unfriendly questions after the briefing. They did nothing too.

84. DEA officials tried to stop the Election Steal foot patrol from giving the briefing because the DEA considered some of the info belonged to them. Trump’s own DEA officials didn’t understand that the drug dealers they were watching were ALSO in control of America’s voting machines!

85. The Election Steal foot patrol also collected all the Internet website information related to Smartmatic and Dominion in a database to preserve records before it was all wiped by the bad guys. That’s when they found the ultimate source: the anonymous Japanese guy.

86. It turns out: ONE GUY tracked all Internet traffic flowing between Dominion, Serbia & Hong Kong on Election Day 2020. And that one Japanese guy posted that info on his little anonymous account. The Election Steal foot patrol contacted him to get all the IP addresses that Dominion used.

87. What did the anonymous Japanese guy want for a full file of all the IP addresses that Dominion used inside the USA on Election Day 2020? He wanted a donation: $20. To this day, nobody knows his name.

88. Now here’s the most important part: the IPs obtained from the Anonymous Japanese Guy on Twitter/X were crucial in stopping the steal of the 2024 election. Literally could not be done without that information. So that guy helped save America. He might not even know it too.

89. This IP info led to an astonishing discovery that the traitors at @Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency deny to this day: the primary data center for the 2020 election was hosted in a foreign country on a Huawei server in China. That’s right: America’s election system is in the hands of its enemies.

90. CISA is supposed to be the place inside @Homeland Security that “protects” America’s vital infrastructure. But CISA is actually the nerve-center where America’s elections are stolen. In fact, CISA actually “partners” with Smartmatic to practice beforehand. https://www.smartmatic.com/us/media/smartmatic-cisa-and-partners-hold-annual-election-security-exercise/

91. The Election Steal Foot Patrol was in negotiations with Fox News to provide them with evidence & witnesses to fight the Dominion lawsuit. A meeting was called in April 2023. A former Trump cabinet secretary was advising the Murdochs. That official told Fox News to settle the case.

92. Fox News immediately flipped its legal strategy. It settled with Dominion for $787.5 million. Then it fired top host Tucker Carlson one week later. Dominion’s annual revenues were about $40 million. So the award was an absurd shakedown not supported by case law.

93. Here’s the interesting part: the parent company of Fox News had apparently obtained a $1.25 BILLION loan package one year earlier - for no particular reason. How did Fox executives know they would need so much spare cash ahead of time? https://nationalfile.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/ONE-point-TWO-FIVE-BILLION-DOLLAR-LOAN-PACKAGE-NEWSCORP-_-SEC.pdf

94. Who was the former Trump official who told Fox News to settle with Dominion? According to my sources, it was the same person who Tucker Carlson stopped from getting a position in the Second Trump Admin: Mike Pompeo! https://www.wsj.com/politics/trump-tucker-carlson-cabinet-pompeo-683d9150?st=fmRAza

How Tucker Carlson Killed Mike Pompeo’s Hopes of Joining the Trump Administration

95. Incredibly, Team Trump continued to invite this former Trump cabinet official to speak at public rallies as late as November 4, 2024. President Trump finally revoked security protection for this individual on Jan 23, 2025. Three days after taking office.

96. Why did it take so long for President Trump to understand the danger of the voting machines? Because there are influential figures in GOP circles who wanted Trump to misunderstand the danger. GOP donors. GOP lawyers. GOP politicians.

97. Some people are just finding out that President Trump now gets it: America’s voting machines are controlled by narco-terrorists who rule Venezuela. https://www.wsj.com/business/energy-oil/trump-orders-gop-donors-oil-company-to-leave-venezuela-a62f5cd9

98. Per @The Wall Street Journal: “Oil magnate Harry Sargeant III is a GOP donor well known for his back-channel efforts to temper hostilities between the U.S. & Venezuela. On Friday, the Trump admin ordered his oil-trading company to leave the South American country.” Trump just revoked his permit to do business there at all.

99. Two weeks before doing this, President Trump designated Tren de Aragua as a Foreign Terrorist Org. Why? Because the group is “conducting irregular warfare” against the USA. https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/03/invocation-of-the-alien-enemies-act-regarding-the-invasion-of-the-united-states-by-tren-de-aragua/

Invocation of the Alien Enemies Act Regarding the Invasion of The United States by Tren De Aragua

100. Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act in this order. Why? Because we are at war with Venezuela & Tren de Aragua is the ARMY of the cartel that rules there. Maduro “leads the regime-sponsored enterprise Cártel de los Soles...” The cartel & the government are the same people.

101. The EO says: Venezuela is “a hybrid criminal state that is perpetrating an invasion of & predatory incursion into the US...” Per my sources: the Venezuela cartel is the largest in the world with oil reserves AND drugs. The smaller Mexican drug cartels take orders from it.

102. Remember that ELECTION STEAL FOOT PATROL flew around USA for 4 years to warn GOP officials & donors about rigged elections. They gave their briefing three times to RNC lawyer @Harmeet K. Dhillon but she did nothing. They briefed David Warrington (now WH counsel) but he didn’t believe them.

103. According to two sources in ELECTION STEAL FOOT PATROL, they tried to brief @Charlie Kirk but he refused. They briefed Trump advisor @Chris LaCivita, but he did not believe that voting machines were connected to the Internet - per two sources. And @Richard Grenell refused the briefing.

104. Who in Trump’s inner circle of advisors tried to stop ELECTION STEAL FOOT PATROL from the very beginning? The name most often mentioned: Boris Epshteyn. One source told me: “Boris was sabotaging things from the start.”

105. SPOILER ALERT: The good news in 2025 is that ELECTION STEAL FOOT PATROL is now briefing the right people. https://x.com/listen_2learn/status/1910392652429766731

Tulsi Gabbard talking about voting machines being vulnerable to hacking gives me hope that something will be done about it. Hopefully the announcement about Chris Krebs means someone will be held accountable for 2020.

109. Traitors inside America’s intel agencies have been busy trying to stop the ELECTION CHEAT FOOT PATROL. First, they leaked to @The New York Times (March 20) that “the shared judgment of the nation’s spy agencies” was Tren de Aragua “was not controlled by the Venezuelan government.” https://archive.is/R9my8

110. Yesterday, they planted a similar story in @The Washington Post claiming the National Intelligence Council “determined in a secret assessment early this month that the Venezuelan government is not directing an invasion of the United States...” https://archive.is/wSqvj

111. In response, DNI Tulsi Gabbard called for the DOJ to investigate 3 intelligence community leaks for criminal referral. She wrote: “These deep-state criminals leaked classified information for partisan political purposes to undermine POTUS’ agenda.” https://x.com/DNIGabbard/status/1915150870255210774

112. President Trump’s pressure on the Maduro regime in Venezuela has forced Chevron & its CEO Mike Wirth to break cover on FOX News this last weekend. Why would Chevron claim that the narco-terrorists who run the Maduro regime should be KEPT IN POWER? https://x.com/RagingAmericans/status/1919102588789944558

113. Is it possible that Chevron is waging a PR campaign right now to stop President Trump from imposing sanctions on a narco-terrorist state? Is Chevron propping up the Maduro regime and its paramilitary group TdA which invaded the USA? https://x.com/DanielDiMartino/status/1917982351684178084

View the entire thread on Twitter

There is a coordinated public relations campaign to launder the Maduro regime’s image in America and lobby President Trump to lift his rightful sanctions against the socialist Venezuelan regime. This is likely financed by Chevron.

114. Does @Maria Bartiromo at @SundayMorningFutures grasp that she just ran a segment in favor of keeping the narco-terrorists in power in Venezuela? The same criminals who own America’s rigged voting machines? Does she know that Fox News settled a lawsuit with its front company?

115. Chevron is not the only party interested in keeping the Maduro regime in power. There’s also: Global Oil Terminals and its owner Harry Sargeant. According to sources, Sargeant has also hired people close to the Trump Admin to lobby the WH to leave Maduro alone.

116. Why did top GOP strategist @Andrew Surabian publish a pro-Maduro article in the Daily Caller on April 29th? Why did Kari Lake’s former campaign advisor @Caroline Wren visit Caracas recently? How many people in Trump World have registered as FARA agents for Venezuela lately?

117. So @X is now limiting traffic on this thread which is odd since this platform is supposedly owned by @Elon Musk & he is a vocal supporter of President Trump who has publicly called for more attention to be paid to the corrupt voting machines! https://x.com/ShawnSmith1776/status/1916169098624700877

118. UPDATE for May 6th, 2025: It looks like the US military just rescued some of Venezuela’s political leaders who oppose the Maduro regime from an embassy in Caracas last Saturday! Things are starting to get “hot” down there. https://x.com/SecRubio/status/1919905924149330199

119. Why did former Trump NSA @Robert C. O’Brien publish a FOX NEWS op-ed on April 24 hoping President Trump’s strategy against the Maduro regime would focus on “allowing U.S. companies to continue to operate” in Venezuela? Notice: the pro-Chevron stuff runs through Fox News.

120. UPDATE for April 23, 2025: oil tycoon James Jensen & his wife & sons were arrested by U.S. Marshals in Utah. Why? They were (allegedly) laundering money from illegally imported crude oil for the drug cartels. The Jensens own: Arroyo Terminals.

White = Western Civilization

For 80% of American history, the vast majority of immigration into the US was mostly from white, high-IQ Europe and East Asia. This worked very, very well. Remember, it's only Northern Europeans, East Asians and their descendants that have median IQs greater than 100. 

The rest of the world has an median IQ of about 82.  Only 18 IQ points, and 1000 years of development separates the advanced, higher IQ, mostly white and East Asian nations that enjoy high levels of prosperity, law and order, democracy, tolerance and happiness from the rest of the world (lower IQ) countries that are impoverished, crime-ridden, run by corrupt tyrants, always near collapse and miserable.  

So the entire strategy of the Democrats is to "dumb down" our populace so that they can better fleece and trick the public to guarantee their power.  We saw that when one of the architects of Obamacare was caught saying on tape that the Democrats rely on the ignorance of the voters to pass their disastrous legislation that was, in fact, all lies. 

This is, of course, the strategy of Democrats and the ruinous Left. They are the anti-white party who are dedicated to illegality to boost their power. They are continually trying to allow these illegals to vote and are gradually succeeding. Democrats stand for disastrous "diversity" that is ruining Europe and this country. The reality is that homogeneous populations that are happy and peaceful.  Leftist/Marxist Democrat's control of the media allows all the lies and propaganda to effectively infect our country. It's works even better when the nation's average IQ is lower!! See how that works? That's how an idiot like Obama got elected twice!  Do you have any doubt that, given enough time, Obama would reduce the US to a banana republic??  There isn't a black "leader" in the world that wouldn't.

We are forced to live in a time of utter propaganda in all of the media outlets. No one can say that nearly all black and brown populations are backwards and usually near or at collapse. No one can say the truth; that every majority black community, city or country in the world is a total disaster of crime and poverty, including those in the US. No school administrator is allowed to say that nearly all of the minority (black) students are not qualified to be admitted to college except by affirmative action. No one is permitted to point out that there is not a single black leader or any black community anywhere in the world is advancing or building-up their communities. They only destroy them. The truth is that blacks destroy everything!  It's true in New Orleans, Memphis, Baltimore, Rio de Janiero and most of Brazil and ALL of Africa. It's mostly true in Latino countries too, especially Central America and Mexico.

The Left also completely ignores the massive incompetence and criminality of the Central American populations. Those voters are so stupid that they'll fall for bullshit "free stuff" or Communist leaning leaders who bankrupt the countries. Think Chavez, Maduro, Christina de Kirchner of Argentina, Daniel Ortega of Nicaragua to name a few recent Latino disasters. Nicaraguans elected known snake Ortega, even though he was a known Soviet Union stooge during Ronald Reagan's term.  He was a proven snake then and, surprise, he's a proven snake now! Ortega is shooting protesting college students in the streets now. The vast majority of these people are dumber than rocks.

The US needs the best and brightest, not the lowest of the low. Latino Americans, on average, are low skill, low productivity workers, incompetent voters, incompetent politicians and these countries have enormous criminal elements. Murders and crime in most of Latin America and Africa are sky high. Most of these countries are basically failed states,

California's poverty level is higher than ever. Why? Because, the average annual pay (and therefore their productivity) of Central Americans or Mexicans is miles below the US poverty level. For example, the minimum wage in Mexico is $4 PER DAY!  (50 cents per hour).  Those same people are invited by The Left to arrive illegally into California and everywhere else --- then insist that businesses should pay them 30 times more or $15 an hour as a minimum! Then local hospital and public schools are forced to give these people free medical treatment and free education.  And you wonder why we have non-stop truck-loads, train-loads, and multiple caravans at our southern border?

All of this is, of course, the strategy of the Left's destruction of this country -- their quest for unending power. It's working!

Leftists love the fact that low IQ blacks and Hispanics gravitate to the disaster of Marxism like Chavez, Castro or even Obama. It's because they can't take care of themselves or build a working society; they want a big government and/or tyrant leader to take care of them. They can't handle freedom like the self-organizing white people. Most white people used to know how the big govt/tyrant path works out (or doesn't.

And note that ignorant black commentators are all over the lying media. It's because they are a carnival of the stupid and gullible. Notice how few Latinos are on CNN or MSNBC or the other propaganda outlets. Instead it's dumb-ass blacks spouting a bunch of bullshit -- which is the strategy of our lying media. 

Now look at the formerly prosperous South Africa. Violent and militant Marxist Niggers are now running around like the wild animals that they are. Whites are being persecuted and murdered, a breakdown of law and order has emerged, the economy is being ruined and they can't even keep the power on now more than half the time. It's just a few short months until starvation and calamity arrives. This is about the same for every black community in the world with only a few exceptions.

Reform election laws in this country to allow only property owners to vote. Repeal the 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act.  Revive offers to re-settle Black Americans to Liberia or elsewhere.  Arrest every mayor and the entire city council of every "sanctuary city." Deport all illegals. Keep it fair: if you're here illegal, you're out.  In short, make America white again!

Make America White Again

In my blog post "Democrats strategy for electoral dominance: make the US a 3rd world shithole" Julia Hahn at Breitbart said;  "Fifty years ago today, Ted Kennedy began changing the face of the United States by ushering the 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act through Congress. That legislation resulted in the fundamental transformation of the demographic, economic, social, and political landscape of nation, exactly the opposite of what its supporters promised."

She also mentions that "in 1965, the US was, according to Pew, was 84 percent white, 11 percent black, 4 percent Hispanic and less than 1 percent Asian."  This means that for 80% of American history, the vast majority of immigration into the US was mostly from white, high-IQ Europe. This worked very, very well. Remember, it's only Northern Europeans, East Asians and their descendants that have median IQs greater than 100.  ALL THE REST, the rest of the world (ROW), has an average IQ of about 85.  Only 15 median IQ points separates mostly white nations with high levels of prosperity, law and order, democracy, tolerance and happiness from ROW (low IQ) countries that are impoverished, crime-ridden, run by corrupt tyrants, always near collapse and miserable.    

Of course, the LEFT DESTROYS EVERYTHING it touches."By 2015, as a result of Kennedy’s immigration law, the country is now 62 percent white, 12 percent black, 18 percent Hispanic and 6 percent Asian." The entire strategy of the Democrats is to "dumb down" our populace so that they can better fleece and trick the public to guarantee their power.  We saw that when one of the architects of Obamacare was caught saying on tape that the Democrats rely on the ignorance of the voters to pass their disastrous legislation that was, in fact, all lies. 

 Thanks to "open border" morons in both the Democrat and Republican parties, a recent study from Yale shows (surprise, surprise!) that there might be as many as 2 to 3 times the number of illegals hiding in our country than is being reported by the lying media.  So, rather than 11 million illegals, we more likely have 22 million or even 33 million.  This means that our population of whites may be as low as 59%.  I wrote that whites would be a minority in the US by 2050, but it's possible that whites will be a minority well before that!

This is, of course, the strategy of Democrats and the ruinous Left. They are the anti-white party who are dedicated to illegality to boost their power. They are continually trying to allow these illegals to vote and are gradually succeeding. Democrats stand for disastrous "diversity" that is ruining Europe and this country.

Trump's 28 Point Peace Plan for Ukraine

From Martin Armstrong:

 Below is Trump’s 28-point peace plan:

  1. Ukraine’s sovereignty will be confirmed.

  2. A comprehensive non-aggression agreement will be concluded between Russia, Ukraine and Europe. All ambiguities of the last 30 years will be considered settled.

  3. It is expected that Russia will not invade neighboring countries and NATO will not expand further.

  4. A dialogue will be held between Russia and NATO, mediated by the United States, to resolve all security issues and create conditions for de-escalation in order to ensure global security and increase opportunities for cooperation and future economic development.

  5. Ukraine will receive reliable security guarantees.

  6. The size of the Ukrainian Armed Forces will be limited to 600,000 personnel.

Note: Ukraine’s army currently has 800,000-850,000 personnel, and had around 250,000 beforethe war, according to a Ukrainian official.

  1. Ukraine agrees to enshrine in its constitution that it will not join NATO, and NATO agrees to include in its statutes a provision that Ukraine will not be admitted in the future.

  2. NATO agrees not to station troops in Ukraine.

Note: NATO countries including France and the U.K. have been working on separate proposals that would include small numbers of European troops on Ukrainian soil after the war. This plan appears to disregard that possibility.

  1. European fighter jets will be stationed in Poland.

  2. The U.S. guarantee:

The U.S. will receive compensation for the guarantee;

If Ukraine invades Russia, it will lose the guarantee;

If Russia invades Ukraine, in addition to a decisive coordinated military response, all global sanctions will be reinstated, recognition of the new territory and all other benefits of this deal will be revoked;

If Ukraine launches a missile at Moscow or St. Petersburg without cause, the security guarantee will be deemed invalid.

11. Ukraine is eligible for EU membership and will receive short-term preferential access to the European market while this issue is being considered.

12. A powerful global package of measures to rebuild Ukraine, including but not limited to:

The creation of a Ukraine Development Fund to invest in fast-growing industries, including technology, data centers, and artificial intelligence.

The United States will cooperate with Ukraine to jointly rebuild, develop, modernize, and operate Ukraine’s gas infrastructure, including pipelines and storage facilities.

Joint efforts to rehabilitate war-affected areas for the restoration, reconstruction and modernization of cities and residential areas.

Infrastructure development.

Extraction of minerals and natural resources.

The World Bank will develop a special financing package to accelerate these efforts.

13. Russia will be reintegrated into the global economy:

The lifting of sanctions will be discussed and agreed upon in stages and on a case-by-case basis.

The United States will enter into a long-term economic cooperation agreement for mutual development in the areas of energy, natural resources, infrastructure, artificial intelligence, data centers, rare earth metal extraction projects in the Arctic, and other mutually beneficial corporate opportunities.

Russia will be invited to rejoin the G8.

14. Frozen funds will be used as follows:

$100 billion in frozen Russian assets will be invested in US-led efforts to rebuild and invest in Ukraine;

The US will receive 50% of the profits from this venture. Europe will add $100 billion to increase the amount of investment available for Ukraine’s reconstruction. Frozen European funds will be unfrozen. The remainder of the frozen Russian funds will be invested in a separate US-Russian investment vehicle that will implement joint projects in specific areas. This fund will be aimed at strengthening relations and increasing common interests to create a strong incentive not to return to conflict.

15. A joint American-Russian working group on security issues will be established to promote and ensure compliance with all provisions of this agreement.

16. Russia will enshrine in law its policy of non-aggression towards Europe and Ukraine.

17. The United States and Russia will agree to extend the validity of treaties on the non-proliferation and control of nuclear weapons, including the START I Treaty.

Note: New START, the last major U.S.-Russia arms control treaty, is due to expire in February.

18. Ukraine agrees to be a non-nuclear state in accordance with the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons.

19. The Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant will be launched under the supervision of the IAEA, and the electricity produced will be distributed equally between Russia and Ukraine — 50:50.

20. Both countries undertake to implement educational programs in schools and society aimed at promoting understanding and tolerance of different cultures and eliminating racism and prejudice:

Ukraine will adopt EU rules on religious tolerance and the protection of linguistic minorities.

Both countries will agree to abolish all discriminatory measures and guarantee the rights of Ukrainian and Russian media and education. (Note: Similar ideas were incorporated into Trump’s 2020 Israel-Palestine peace plan).

All Nazi ideology and activities must be rejected and prohibited.

21. Territories:

Crimea, Luhansk and Donetsk will be recognized as de facto Russian, including by the United States.

Kherson and Zaporizhzhia will be frozen along the line of contact, which will mean de facto recognition along the line of contact.

Russia will relinquish other agreed territories it controls outside the five regions.

Ukrainian forces will withdraw from the part of Donetsk Oblast that they currently control, and this withdrawal zone will be considered a neutral demilitarized buffer zone, internationally recognized as territory belonging to the Russian Federation. Russian forces will not enter this demilitarized zone.

22. After agreeing on future territorial arrangements, both the Russian Federation and Ukraine undertake not to change these arrangements by force. Any security guarantees will not apply in the event of a breach of this commitment.

23. Russia will not prevent Ukraine from using the Dnieper River for commercial activities, and agreements will be reached on the free transport of grain across the Black Sea.

24. A humanitarian committee will be established to resolve outstanding issues:

All remaining prisoners and bodies will be exchanged on an ‘all for all’ basis.

All civilian detainees and hostages will be returned, including children.

A family reunification program will be implemented.

Measures will be taken to alleviate the suffering of the victims of the conflict.

25. Ukraine will hold elections in 100 days.

26. All parties involved in this conflict will receive full amnesty for their actions during the war and agree not to make any claims or consider any complaints in the future.

27. This agreement will be legally binding. Its implementation will be monitored and guaranteed by the Peace Council, headed by President Donald J. Trump. Sanctions will be imposed for violations.

Note: This is the same general structure Trump proposed to govern the Gaza peace agreement.

28. Once all parties agree to this memorandum, the ceasefire will take effect immediately after both sides retreat to agreed points to begin implementation of the agreement.

Even With Huge Federal Debt Growth, Much of the US Economy is in Recession

Even with massive spending of Federal money and gigantic fiscal deficits, most of the US economy is faltering. Why? Because the money is flowing to owners of stocks and real estate such as multi-millionaires, billionaires and the “most favored” or monopolistic corporations like Amazon and entire industries like the defense contractors. Extreme corporate concentrations abound! 

 

From India Times: “Is the US economy really growing at 3.9%? On paper, yes. But in reality, 82% of Americans live in regions now shrinking — the biggest share since 2020. Growth looks strong only because the data hides the cracks. Regional recessions are spreading fast. Manufacturing towns are bleeding jobs. Tariffs have lifted prices. Mass layoffs — over 172,000 this year — are cutting into household spending.”

Take a look at the chart below. It’s not pretty. I just received this information from Hedgeye investment advisors. It’s not good at all:

 

This is the first time in history that U.S. consumers surveyed by the University of Michigan have felt this poorly about the current state of the economy.

If you take a big step back, it’s not irrational for millions of Americans to feel this way. Since 2020 and the Covid scam:

  • US grocery prices are up a whopping +29%

  • Transportation services have climbed +36%

  • Food away from home has surged +33%

  • Total credit-card debt has jumped +50%

This may be hard to believe, but one in four U.S. households spend more than half of their income on paying rent. All the while, wage growth has slowed and the US Dollar’s purchasing power has eroded over 20%.

In other words, people all across America are feeling increased pricing pressure and we’re witnessing evidence of this all around us.

Wealth Inequality is Off the Charts:

Unless something changes, eventually the top 1% will own nearly everything. I’m not even joking. The richest 1% and 10% get richer, everyone else gets poorer.

The charts below show how wealth gets concentrated in the top 1% and top 10%. The top 10% owns stocks and these people can afford advisers to maximize their gains and minimize losses. Most ordinary investors lose money in stocks. Stock market drawdowns kill the “mom and pop” investors. Most people can’t afford to invest in stocks at all, so they are subject to all the effect of inflation with none of the inflation hedges of the well-off.

Just look at Nancy Pelosi’s stock portfolio gains in recent years. She’s made $400 MILLION by investing in stocks. She’s really an intellectual dipshit, so you can bet that it’s all insider information! And worse, she pretends to be “for the common man.” Many other politicians and government employees are like this. They have inside information.

At the start of Covid scam, you can bet that many, or even most, of the staff of the US Government’s NIH and Fauci himself owned Gilead stock, the maker of the official covid medicine called Remdesivir? Of course they did. That’s why they recommended it! They profited as many ordinary people died (just like AZT in the 1980s/90s, thanks to Fauci). The Covid MRNA vaccine was a scam and a health nightmare. But drug makers, Walmart and AMZN stock did very well.

Owning your own home or other real estate are the traditional hedges for ordinary families and people, but real estate prices are so high now that few in the latest generation and those in the bottom of the economic ladder can afford any of it. Corporations like Blackrock are selling shares on Wall Street and using procedes from those sales in order to “corner-the-market” or dominate the US Housing market. They are suceeding!! How many times have you been called by someone asking to buy your house? Dozens? At least a few dozen? This is being orchestrated in plain sight.

When the housing market crashes, Blackrock will be bailed-out, but not you or I.

Our Broken Social Contract

From the Charles Hughes Smith’s blog:

The Social Contract is broken not just by wealth inequality per se but by the illegitimate process of wealth acquisition, i.e. the state has tipped the scales in favor of the few behind closed doors and routinely ignores or bypasses the intent of the law even as the state claims to be following the narrower letter of the law.

By this definition, the Social Contract in America has been completely smashed. One sector after another is dominated by cartel-state partnerships that are forged and enforced in obscure legislation written by lobbyists. Once the laws have been riddled with loopholes and the regulators have been corrupted, “no one is above the law” has lost all meaning.

Those who violate the intent of the law while managing to conjure an apparent compliance with the letter of the law are shysters, scammers and thieves who exploit the intricate loopholes of the system, all the while parading their compliance as evidence the system is fair and just. In this way, the judicial system becomes part of the illegitimate process of wealth accumulation.

In America, political and financial Elites are above the intent of the law. Is bribery of politicos illegal? Supposedly it is, but in practice it is entirely and openly legal.

The following 1 minute video illustrates what happens when people realize they are being screwed. It turns out that even chimpanzees know when they are being tricked! Click it for a perfect lesson of a broken social contract—it’s priceless (just a minute or so) Don’t miss it, it’s really funny and truthful:

 

Ibrahim: How Islam Caused -- and is Again Causing --a Dark Age in Europe

 


Rough transcript by Doug:

Winston Marshall: So what’s happening at the battle of the Yarmmuk then Ben?

Raymond Ibrahim: The interest to me in the battle of Yarmmuk —is it it’s the genesis of the conflict between Christiandom and Islam. That’s really its significance.

Basically we must go back to the beginning to Muhammad, right? Muhammad is dead in 632 and now you have what’s called the Ridda wars which is, after he died a lot of Arabian tribes tried to break away from the fold of Islam, and the first Khalif Abu Bakr launched these apostasy wars— which is very interesting because even till this day Muslim clerics will tell you without the law of apostasy, which is you kill anyone who tries to leave Islam, Islam would have died out. I mean that they actually say that they admit it. That’s why we have to have the apostasy law because if people have freedom to leave it will it’ll be gone.

Marshall: So those the the the culture of apostasy punishing apostasy didn’t exist before then under Muhammad.

Ibrahim: No no it did. He’s the one who did it. It goes to a hadith, a statement attributed to him which is considered canonical in Sah Bkari, where he says literally uwhoever leaves his religion meaning Islam — kill him. So that was always part of the religion according to that teaching that hadith and that’s why it’s still there.

Marshall: Okay. So by the second generation of Muslim leaders they’re, now codifying that..

Ibrahim: yeah, well when and how Islamic law gets codified is kind of a controversial thing depending on which version you want to go to. But much most most of it it’s happens much later after Muhammad. As in, he dies in 632. Really the first writings and the hadith date from, maybe around 750. And this is why there’s a school of thought that says Muhammad never existed and it was all fabricated later to give a hagioraphical foundational story to the Umad Empire.

But at any rate, so you have now the Muslim, the Muslim power is consolidated on Darbu Bakr and then later the other Khalif Omar; who are companions and friends of Muhammad and now the jihad is waged in earnest.

Now, here’s the first interesting thing that a few people understand. In 632, you know, if I talk to someone, your average person, and I talk about the Middle East or North Africa, and they know it’s Muslim, they don’t know how it got Muslim. They think it’s always been Muslim.

In in the dawn of Islam, during this time that I’m discussing, ie., 632 and so forth, the Eastern world, Egypt, greater Syria as it was called, which encompassed modern day Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, it was a big chunk. Anatolia or Turkey, what we call Turkey, and like I said Egypt all the way down to Morocco Mauritanium and you you know and Augustine’s hippo was there in Tunisia —all that was actually more Christian than Europe. So if you talked about Christianity at the dawn of Islam you were talking about Egypt, you were talking about Syria, you’re talking about Asia Minor, Greece of course and Europe — but Europe was actually less Christian and of course anything northwest of the Danube / Rhine was still not even Germany you know the Scandinavian lands hadn’t even reached Christianity at that point.

This is why the Roman Emperor Constantine moved the capital of Rome, New Rome, Constantinople, to the east because that’s where everything was. That’s where the learning was. That’s where the sophisticated culture was, the wealth. And again, then people we have records of people traveling through Egypt and they say all we heard from the top of the Nile to the bottom is just hymns and church bells etc.

This is before Islam. Same thing with Syria. Okay. So people miss this context. This is what the Middle East was. If you want to talk about Christianity, there were five major centers. Okay, they call them Sees. One was Rome and the other four were in the Middle East. Okay, one was Alexandria, one was uh Antioch, one was Jerusalem, and then later Constantinople. All east and all conquered by Islam.

Okay, which we’ll get into. So anyway, we have the first major attack um and we have the battle of Yarmmuk in 636 and the the Muslims prevail.

Marshall: Where is Yarmmuk?

Ibrahim: Yarmmuk is a river in Syria. Or it was in greater Syria at the time, so I don’t know if it’s in part of Jordan now, but I’m pretty sure it’s in Syria still. That’s where the two major armies, the Eastern Roman Empire, which they call Byzantium. I sort of don’t like that word because it sort of creates a discontinuity between the Roman Empire. — they saw themselves as Romans. Even the Arab accounts call them Romans, you know. So, this word Byzantine, I just say anyway, as it’s short, it’s easy, it’s succinct. So, I interchange them.

But the Eastern Roman Empire and the Arabs, ie., the Muslims, fought there and it was a major epic confrontation and the Christians lost. And for various reasons: Among the reasons cite was desert conditions and storms which they weren’t used to fighting in it, whereas the Arabs were and it takes on a great, you know, it’s very hagioraphical tradition amongst Arabs—it’s this is where it all begins and where ‘Allah proved he was for us because we beat the infidels,’ etc etc

And you know, I won’t get into it, but anyone who’s interested really should read about that battle. When I think about what ISIS, the Islamic State, said, the stuff they would say things like, um, “We’ve tasted American blood and none is sweeter and people just thought they were being gross.” But actually, they were quoting characters from the Battle of Yarmuk, ie., the Muslim heroes, specifically Whaleed, known as the Sword of Allah, who said to the Romans, “We’ve tasted Roman blood and none is sweeter.”

All right. So when a lot of the things they say is actually from that battle and other battles as well. But that’s how you know these these battles and major confrontations with the Christian world, where they prevailed, still figure prominently in their historical consciousness whereas to most westerners they have no clue.

So at any rate the battle happens. The west, the Christians lose and now begins the great takeover of the of the Middle East and then North Africa.

Egypt which was a major center for the Roman Empire gets conquered four years later or about 5 years around 640 to 641. And you know the they continue marching all the way west until they get to Morocco, around 690. They take over Carthage you know where Augustine of Hippo wrote and taught— so all these major centers were taken. Also Syria as well was completely conquered. Jerusalem is conquered one year after Yarmmuk.

It’s like a complete domino effect and there’s theories of why this is; one of them is is that the Byzantine Empire was very weakened at the time. But at the same time, the Muslims enter and conquer Persia, the Cesanian Empire at the time. And now it’s in now Iran’s been conquered and they continue eastward [Doug here: all the way to Asia and SE Asia] . But just for brevity sake, I’ll continue focusing on the Western Christian world. [Doug here: see the map below for Islam’s expansion into Europe and also into Asia]

And so now, so from 632, the year Muhammad died, one century later, 732, Muslims are now in the middle of Europe fighting and abducting people and destroying churches.

Marshall: Not just the middle of Europe, it’s far north in France.

Ibrahim: Yeah, that’s the date; 732 is the battle of Tours, which is right in the heart of France. Spain had been conquered since 711. After they they took over Morocco, now they sailed into Spain and that was completely conquered and devastated and now they’re in the middle of France, okay, attacking— and this is the battle of Tours.

So in one century from Muhammed’s death, and historians have actually quantified it, but it’s basically they conquered three quarters of the original Christian world permanently!

In Spain, not permanently, but for like eight centuries the Muslims were there. And of course in France they still continued depradations. And the Mediterranean islands were all conquered around the 8th century. You know, Sicily and Malta and and all of them; Cyprus and and Rhodes for centuries.

I’m just baffled at how people don’t understand these were not just Christian countries. These were the main Christian countries and they just got conquered and Islamized. And nobody knows this!

If you talk about those countries now, like Egypt or Syria, most people just have this vague notion they were always Muslim and you know Muslim just spread Islam spread there.

No. And again if you look at the sources, both the Arabic and Islamic, and the European chronicles, they make it unequivocally clear this was violent, bloody conquest. And it’s even worse in the Arabic recordings because they boast about it. The more violent it is, the more the atrocities committed against the Christian infidels and the more churches destroyed—this is more a reflection of how pious the Muslim conquerors were. So it’s actually worse in the Arab areas. I always find this amazing that it’s more graphic sometimes than the European ones which are a little more objective. They say yes we were attacked and thousands were butchered and enslaved and churches but the Muslim ones revel in it in their brutality…[Doug here: you know, like Hamas in their recent Jew butchery in Gaza. NO DIFFERENT! ]

And so now let’s just stop for a moment. None of this is being taught in any school at all.

Marshall: Can I just ask, do you have a sense of the death toll in that first century?

Ibrahim: Uh, no. I mean, unfortunately the seventh century is what we’re talking about. We’re lucky to have just the records that we have, but I know I put it in Sword and Scimitar where I talk about various regions that get conquered and some chronicle mentions a number, but it’s it’s very hard, to tally such numbers.

Thus Begins the European Dark Ages?

It’s very sketchy that time, and this is, that is, we’re now nearing to what traditionally was called the Dark Ages — because we have, which by the way, is a product of Islam— that most people don’t know this.

And since I’m at it, ok we’re almost there. So basically after what happened; so the Mediterranean used to be known as kind of the “Roman lake” and Egypt, Syria and all of North Africa and Europe were all connected — it was part of one empire. After Islam took everything basically south of that; north Africa and the Middle East—which I already told you, was the richer, more profound and the more sophisticated region.

Little Europe, the the rest of the Christian world was cut off completely. Papyrus ended. It used to come from Egypt. That supply was eliminated. All of that is historically is was the beginning of what historians would call the Dark ages.

One historian, Henry Perrin, he was I think a Belgian historian in the 19th century, an orientalist as they called him. He actually had an entire thesis about this [Doug here: see below]. And basically his line is ‘without Muhammad there’d be no Charlemagne.’ That the rise of Charlemagne and the Frankish state was basically a response to the non-stop Islamic aggression and the discontinuity of trade in the Mediterranean.

This is why now Europe had to develop on its own and start a new. And it was you know it was the young kid on the block. The barbarians who had conquered and assimilated into Christryendom in the fifth century and whatnot. Um, they didn’t they no longer had the assistance of the east as they did before.

Okay. And so now they became the small final bastion of Christendom and they continued being attacked by Muslims.

So you know to finish this idea of the dark ages. So that’s yeah so people will tell you the dark ages historic and they don’t even want to use that term anymore for various reasons but they would say it was the 8th century and the 9th century and they would tell you because of Viking attacks and you know attacks from nomadic tribes in the east — but the real attack was Islam. That was the main one; from the south.

And uh the Vikings people don’t even understand that a lot of the Viking raids, especially for slaves, white slaves, was to feed the Arab slave emporium, because there was such a demand for white slaves.

Vikings would go to Ireland and England and France and wherever and conquered. And all those slaves, most of them would be sold down through the rivers of Russia to, you know, uh to the caliphates, the Abbassids, for example.

Um the Abbassid caliphate that used to be a well-known thing. And we know this as well because a lot of the treasure troves of Viking coins that are found in Scandinavia are Arab coins, you know. So what commodity do Vikings have to give? Slaves! And we also have records for it.

So, you know, the whole point is uh Islam has had a profound impact on the shaping of Europe. And there’s historians, I quote one in one of my books, um uh something Cardini where he basically says Islam was a midwife to Europe. It created Europe and the reason Europe became Marshall and you had the night culture and everything and a very staunch Christian kind of defensive posture was because of Islam. It was surrounding it and it was and they knew what happened. They understood that three-quarters of Christendom was destroyed and conquered and Islamized.

And we haven’t even reached the Crusades, okay? And look what what Islam had done. And I’m here to tell you and I’ve because I’ve looked at this and parents write to me about school books, textbooks, and social science books. What I just described you doesn’t even get any mention. You just get get one sentence about how Islam spread through trade in the Middle East. And they won’t tell you the Middle East was the heart of Christianity before that. They always like to act like Europe was Christian Christian and everything else wasn’t. No, Europe was the the the the leftover portion of Christendom that never got conquered.

The Spread of Islam From the 7th Century to Early 20th Century

 

The Timeline of the Spread of Islam. Click Image to Enlarge to a Giant Size

 Islam’s Early Expansion (7th-10th Century) Taken From Here.

  1. Founding and Early Expansion (7th Century):

    • Prophet Muhammad: Islam began in the 7th century CE with the Prophet Muhammad in Mecca, in present-day Saudi Arabia. After his death in 632 CE, his followers rapidly expanded the religion.

    • Rashidun Caliphate (632-661 CE): The first four caliphs, known as the Rashidun (“Rightly Guided”) Caliphs, oversaw rapid expansion. They conquered vast territories, including the Sassanian Empire in Persia and significant parts of the Byzantine Empire.

  2. Umayyad Caliphate (661-750 CE):

    • The Umayyad Caliphate established its capital in Damascus and extended its reach into Spain (Al-Andalus), North Africa, and parts of the Indian subcontinent. This expansion introduced Islam to diverse cultures and regions, leading to the establishment of Islamic rule in Spain, Morocco, and parts of India.

  3. Abbasid Caliphate (750-1258 CE):

    • The Abbasids, who established their capital in Baghdad, focused on consolidating and administrating their vast empire. This period saw significant cultural and intellectual achievements and the spread of Islam into Central Asia and the Indian subcontinent through trade and missionary activity.

Medieval Expansion (11th-15th Century)

  1. South Asia:

    • Delhi Sultanate (1206-1526 CE): Muslim rulers established the Delhi Sultanate in India, which significantly influenced the region’s politics and culture.

    • Mughal Empire (1526-1857 CE): The Mughals further consolidated Islamic rule in India, with rulers like Akbar promoting religious tolerance and integrating various cultures.

  2. Southeast Asia:

    • Spread Through Trade: Islamic traders and missionaries spread Islam to Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines. By the 13th century, Islam had established a strong presence in the region, particularly through the influence of Sufi missionaries.

  3. Sub-Saharan Africa:

    • Trans-Saharan Trade: Islam spread to West Africa through trade routes across the Sahara Desert. The rise of powerful Islamic empires, such as the Mali and Songhai Empires, further entrenched Islam in the region.

Early Modern Period (16th-18th Century)

  1. Ottoman Empire (1299-1922 CE):

    • The Ottoman Empire became one of the most powerful Islamic empires, influencing much of southeastern Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa. Its strategic position and military strength facilitated the spread of Islam.

  2. Mughal Empire:

    • The Mughals continued to play a significant role in South Asia, with their influence extending into the modern period and contributing to the widespread presence of Islam in India.

Modern Era (19th Century-Present)

  1. Colonial Period:

    • European colonial powers often imposed their own systems, but Islamic practices and communities persisted and sometimes adapted under colonial rule.

  2. Post-Colonial Era:

    • After World War II, many former colonies gained independence, leading to a resurgence and reassertion of Islamic identities and practices in various countries.

  3. Globalization and Migration:

    • In the late 20th and early 21st centuries, globalization and migration have contributed to the spread of Islam beyond traditional regions. Significant Muslim communities have formed in Europe, the Americas, and Oceania due to migration and diaspora.

Pirenne’s Thesis

From Wikipedia: Henri Pirenne was a famous Belgian historian who wrote about some aspects of the impacts on Islam on Europe and the modern European city.

He said that the real break in Roman history occurred in the 8th century as a result of Arab expansion. Islamic conquest of the area of today’s south-eastern Turkey, Syria, Palestine, North Africa, Spain and Portugal ruptured economic ties to western Europe, cutting the region off from trade and turning it into a stagnant backwater, with wealth flowing out in the form of raw resources and nothing coming back.

This began a steady decline and impoverishment so that, by the time of Charlemagne, western Europe had become almost entirely agrarian at a subsistence level, with no long-distance trade.[11]

In a summary, Pirenne stated that “Without Islam, the Frankish Empire would probably never have existed, and Charlemagne, without Muhammad, would be inconceivable.”[12] That is, he rejected the notion that barbarian invasions in the 4th and 5th centuries caused the collapse of the Roman Empire. Instead, the Muslim conquest of north Africa made the Mediterranean a barrier, cutting western Europe off from the east, enabling the Carolingians, especially Charlemagne, to create a new, distinctly western form of government.

Pirenne used statistical data regarding money in support of his thesis. Much of his argument builds upon the disappearance from western Europe of items that had to come from outside. For example, the minting of gold coins north of the Alps stopped after the 7th century, indicating a loss of access to wealthier parts of the world. Papyrus, made only in Egypt, no longer appeared in northern Europe after the 7th century; writing reverted to using parchment, indicating its economic isolation.

Pirenne was also the author of Medieval Cities: Their Origins and the Revival of Trade (1927), a book based on lectures he delivered in the United States in 1922. In this book, he contends that through the period from the tenth to the twelfth centuries, Europe finally reclaimed control of the Mediterranean from the Muslim world, and opened up sea routes to the Orient. This allowed the formation of a merchant/middle class and the development of the modern city.

He argued that capitalism originated in northern Europe’s cities, as did democracy.
