Michigan elections, Michigan justice: Part I — 40 Comments

  1. Totally OT: maybe there will be a slow news day some time soon so that Neo can give us the next chapter of her account of her eye surgery and recovery. Should go without saying, but I hope all is going well.

  2. This is the same FBI that didn’t care about allegations by Team USA women’s gymnastics athletes being molested by the USOC doctor. Women, many of them under 18, can be molested without action, but let someone walk and make hand gestures (they are not even profane) and the FBI needs to do something about it 17 months after the incident. “It’s all political now” has emphasis on the “all”.

  3. We are now to a point where with this arrest, and the circus of the prime time Jan 6 hearings, that unless the people rise up we are lost. Maybe they want a violent uprising as DHS has warned about “right wing terrorists” this summer. They are really pushing the envelope. I don’t think between this and the economy, we will make it to even the midterms.

  4. None of the operatives that I know of controlling the crowd, Joe Biggs, Ray Epps and dozen others have never been picked up.
    It’s evil what the government and FBI is doing, we are reliving the Russians Revolution

  5. DePerno, a lawyer from Kalamazoo who has been endorsed by former President Donald Trump for Michigan’s top law enforcement position, said he was disappointed by how authorities handled Kelley’s arrest.

    No, you’re disappointed when your kid performs poorly in school. It’s a witless term to describe the sentiment which arises from contemplating someone being abused by government employees.

  6. whereas it’s whitmer and her hack health officer, who should go to jail for covering up and the deaths of tens of thousands in nursing homes,

    we seem to be circling back on the venezuelan example, as I pointed out earlier,

    they made a big deal of charging joe biggs with sedition, along with that decorated navy veteran, they had held in solitary for some 40 days,

  7. Michigan justice. A phrase now in jeopardy of having affixed the permanent implication of an oxymoron.

    “It’s all political now” has emphasis on the “all”.

    Today, in another instance, I learned from Andrew Branca of the charging of Grand Rapids Police Officer Christopher Schurr with murder in the second degree.

    Apologies for the teeth-grinding sounds you hear emanating from this post.

  8. hey they can shoot an unarmed veteran in the throat, and there are no charges, they can bash someone elses head in, and then pretend they died of a drug overdose, they ban candidates, who do not kneel to the fatuous fauci’s

  9. I am blessed to have been able to interview a number of the individuals in question, Ryan Kelly, James Craig, Matt DePerno (who is also representing a friend of mine), Tudor Dixon, and my friend Dave Kallman of Kallman Legal and the Great Lakes Justice Center who forced Whitmer to open churches in Michigan.
    Decent people all around.

  10. Hannity swears there are thousands of good agents… thousands I tells ya’
    Nope.
    Nuke it from orbit.

  11. As a youngster, I revered the FBI and their “G” (government) men. Later in life I learned about J Edgar and was set back some but still felt they were an important law enforcement entity with very effective tools (labs, etc.).

    Today “G” men seems to map quite closely to Gestapo.

    This snowball is way to far down the hill…

  12. They take direction for leftists and are often tbemselves strzok and mccabe are along those lines

  13. In the late 1970’s I lived in Oklahoma City and had a neighbor who was an FBI agent who was a really nice guy. One time I had pulled my 22 ft sail boat home on the trailer to do a spring cleaning and left my keys inside when I locked the entry hatches with what I thought was a good padlock. I went over to see if my neighbor had anything to cut the lock off so I could get into the boat and he said wait a minute and then came out with a small wallet with some little things in it and opened the lock in about 15 seconds, I guess he knew what he was doing.

    During the hearings about the Nixon group break ins he had to travel back up to the North East fairly frequently because he had been stationed in Maryland, during the break ins, before he came to Oklahoma, he would never talk about his work but I had a business that was about a mile from the airport and he would get rides from me when I went in in the morning to catch his flights about once a week.

    One morning he was running real late and did not want to take time for the weapons check so he stuck his pistol in his suitcase and boarded the plane. He got to the DC area and the pistol was missing out of his suitcase so he was not happy and he was written up being a bad guy. By 1985, after he had moved from our neighborhood I met up with him in a gym locker room and found out he was totally fed up with the Feds and had become a private investigator making a lot more money. That’s about all I know about the FBI.

  14. I’ll be very interested to hear your take on the fraudulent signatures Neo. I was very suspicious from the start that there was much more to the story, but so far haven’t heard anything more about it.

  15. Who verified them jocelyn bensons office who were party to the original fraud nessels has gone after electors that followed the rules

  16. For anybody who wants to read the view from Michigan media, here’s a link to the “Detroit News” story on Ryan Kelly’s arrest (https://tinyurl.com/mryn4jpa).

    The “Detroit News” is generally characterized as a moderate Republican newspaper. The “Detroit Free Press” is the other Detroit newspaper. It’s standard-issue American Marxist (i.e.woke) nonsense. Their story on Kelly’s arrest is predictably silly.

    The “Detroit News” articles aren’t free, so the link I’ve provided is a workaround via pdf.fivefilters.org.

  17. I assume this is what Neo’s going to go into more detail about in her part II, but the story I’ve heard is that there is apparently an organized group intentionally adding bad signatures to petitions they oppose so that those petitions will come up short when authentication is attempted.

    At that point, you can disqualify the petition and as a bonus claim that the folks behind it are acting in bad faith; just look at all the signatures they had to fabricate!

    Which leads back into the fun of difficult-to-falsify games of ‘He Said, She Said’ where both sides blame the bad actors on their opponents. Whee.

  18. Old Texan – Oh Yeah. Lots more fraud and criminal behavior will be coming out in the next few months. The recent story of DeKalb Dominion Machines switching ballots and “losing” ballots is just the start. What happened there is that someone who supported Spears who was in 3rd place after primary night tipped her team off and they demanded a hand recount of paper ballots. She went from 3rd to 1st. Story below lays it out pretty well. It is okay for Democrats to stick it to Republicans but not Democrats to other Democrats.

    Other stories will be coming out. Emerald Robinson’s sub-stack is very good. You can read her material for free, but I chose to financially support her.

    People are going to have to apologize to Mike Lindell and Patrick Byrnes. That is all I can disclose right now. The mean time from going from conspiracy theory to fact is now around six months.

    If you want to know anything about election integrity you should read “The Gateway Pundit”. Over the past two years he has made himself the clearing house for election integrity news. I read him daily.

  19. Back after the ’20 election some of the Dem shenanigans made me wonder “Do they really think they can criminalize membership in the Repub Party? Pretty bold! Pretty Ambitious!”

    I’m not laughing anymore.

  20. The Ryan Kelly imbroglio was a set up. As well as the disqualification of the governors and many down ballot Republican candidates. Several congressional candidates that had potential to cause Democrats to defend their traditional turf got booted using STRICT verification. The same SoS that said in 2020 any mark in the signature was good enough demanded 100% proof based on samples that were biased towards the ballot gathers that committed the fraud.

    This is what I got from a very cynical but frequently right political operative who is well connected. Most of what the person said was corroborated by others or the Kelly team of whom I know quite a few. I am on a first name basis with Ryan but not part of his inner circle. Let us say, you cannot be cynical enough.

    The Tudor Dixon campaign was flagging. Her message was not resonating. Good looks and tight skirts wasn’t closing the deal. Trump wouldn’t endorse her after several meetings. Kelly was seen as a front runner after the disqualification of Perry Johnson. James Craig was sinking fast and had no money. The DeVos organization (establishment Republicans) chose to back her as an alternative. Last week, pictures were released of Kelly at the Jan 6th event. At first, the feeling was it was the Saldano campaign in an attempt to put him on the back foot but over time it shifted to the DeVos/Dixon campaign doing it. Who released the information was the tell or indicator.

    As an aside the Establishment Republicans mainly based on the west side of Michigan HATES the America First activists who are mainly based in the east side of MI. Think Bushies and National Review readers. You must be oh so polite as you lose. After Deperno and Karamo was selected at the nominating convention in March, they tried to de-certify the results. However, we activists realized what was going on and blocked it. Ie. we understood the rules of the game.

    The DC Jan 6th hearings were set and one of the themes was going to be the “insurrectionists” are now running for office. They arrested Kelly and was going to make him a talking point. But a funny thing happened on the way to the arraignment. People mobilized to protest and the media attention was so great that they decided not to keep him in custody. So they let him out on a zero dollar bond and his hearing is next week June 14th supposedly via Zoom. His two brothers are JAG officers and they quickly got a top flight legal team together to support him. So if the neocons and DeVos cartel want to keep this going they will fly him to DC and charge him and imprison him. The feeling is they don’t want to do this unless Whitmer’s internal polling numbers look so bad that they feel they have to do it. She is starting ad buys touting her accomplishments very early to try and blunt some of the anger against her.

    Kelly will win the primary at this time. He will likely get the Trump endorsement.
    The America First team will show in force for him. Michigan is an open primary state like Colorado. So Dem’s can become Republicans and vote for Dixon or another like they are doing to Lorena Bobbert just like “Operation Chaos” was in 2016 with Rush pushing Sanders vs. Hillary.

    You can’t be cynical enough. The issue for the establishment and deep/administrative state is that they have to be public in their actions and people are now educated enough to see it. Interesting times we live in.

  21. So I have been very active these past few months. We are doing many things chief of them getting coalitions built and moving to a common purpose. Beat the machine of Soros backed candidates.

    We are:
    – recruiting and developing school board candidates and message creation. If anything the smut that is now in our schools is mind boggling. We have to have an effective outreach to educate the Asian Community.
    – registering activists to work in jurisdictions that traditionally had low or no Republican presence. It isn’t just Detroit but Flint, Saginaw, Pontiac, Ingram County and other areas. Over 200 jurisdictions had significant under representation of Republican workers.
    – forcing the clerk to hire these workers. We are working the process to do that.
    – Cleaning up the voter rolls called Qualified Voter File or QVF. DAMN are they a mess. In my jurisdiction alone there is over 1000 unqualified entries on the QVF which is 11% of the total roll. A lot of them voted in 2020.
    – getting viable candidates to compete in traditional Democrat seats. The re-districting has proven to be a great opportunity. We have been very successful here. Also, the minority community is feeling put out with the trendy transgender emphasis.
    – Develop the elevator pitch for candidates that they can deliver in 10 seconds. So far I have helped two congressional candidates and a third I meet on Monday. Also many down ballot candidates too. I used to write speeches for automotive executives.
    – Door knocking with candidates to introduce them to the community and hear what they have to say.
    – We are starting to go into what is considered Democratic areas. Establishment Republicans didn’t like to engage and abandoned them for whiter pastures. We are in the community reaching out AND listening.
    – developing a drop box audit strategy that is proactive. Can’t say much more on that other than we are looking at the Virginia model closely.
    – Absentee ballot processing – how to handle it now that we found out that we can’t pro-actively see the signature verification process.

    And I am not the hardest worker as I have a full time job. The team coming together here in MI has great promise. However over and over we have seen establishment Republicans snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

    So, push yourself away from your keyboard and get out in the public arena in any way you can. There are many ways you can help. Turn your anger into action and your passion to a purpose. You will feel much better after doing so.

  22. Thank you Spartacus for all the good work you do. Michigan deserves better than the current state of affairs.

  23. What I think happened with the signatures:
    Some people were deliberately placed on the staff of the organization that was paid to collect the signatures. They allowed a certain percentage of the names to be collected fraudulently or actually supplied them personally.
    When the candidate did better than his opponent would have liked, time to challenge the signatures!
    It’s worked for Dems since forever – Obama used it, as have other nefarious abusers of the practice.
    Time to play tit for tat, and challenge EVERY signature on the Left’s side. EVERY time.

  24. I know members of the FBI.

    Some are honest, hard working agents following the law. Others are clearly members of the swamp.

    Sadly, the over total organization is completely corrupt and must be eliminated, period. We no longer have any rule of law.

  25. Sparticus….thanks for the great summary of your work. It is inspiring! I live in a suburb of Grand Rapids. There are still many straight up conservatives here….but the urban area of Grand Rapids proper is largely democratic for the usual reasons. East Grand Rapids was once a reliably conservative area but it has gone “woke” and Trump was not an appealing candidate to many of the republicans who do reside there. East Grand Rapids has high taxes and tends to be populated by younger college educated couples. Older “unwoke” people have moved out. The outlying areas (but not greater in population than urban Grand Rapids) are still pretty reliably voting for the republican on the ticket.

  27. Democrats are evil. Exhibit 562398

    We will never recover our country until people of moral character are willing to acknowledge this blatantly obvious truth.

  28. @ Spartacus > “You can’t be cynical enough”

    Can I get that on a t-shirt?
    Or maybe a hat: Make America Cynical Again.

    Conservatives are, I think, psychologically predisposed to believe well of others, take them at their word, give second chances, and so forth.

    That has to end – but without sliding down into the abyss of evil that the LIV Democrats have been lured into by the activist Left.

    Sarah Hoyt’s last three posts have been “battle cries” that should be heeded.

  29. “…Michigan is an open primary state like Colorado….”

    This “open primary” business is absolutely bonkers.

    How did this madness EVER get off the ground??

  30. Speaking of Michigan, looks like “Biden”‘s carefully planned sabotage of the economy (via “special attention” to the energy sector) has some “added benefits” for the Democratic Party and, is in fact, “win-win” for the Democrats (and likewise-minded patriots)!!:

    https://www.zerohedge.com/economics/inflation-crisis-worse-admitted-will-interest-rates-go-record-highs
    Key grafs (RTWT):
    “…It’s important to understand that CPI today is NOT an accurate reflection of true inflation overall, and this is because the methods used by the Fed and other institutions to calculate inflation changed after the 1970s event. Not surprisingly, CPI was adjusted to show a diminished inflation threat….
    “Today, the official CPI print from the Fed came in much hotter than expected at 8.6%. For market investors hoping for a lower print and more Fed stimulus, the dream is dead, or it should be treated as such. There is very little chance that the central bankers will reverse course in the midst of the largest inflationary crisis since the 1970s. What they aren’t telling you, though, is that REAL inflation is much worse that what the CPI shows us.
    “By the 1990s the Fed and the government had effectively upended the traditional calculation methods for inflation and, ever since, the CPI has been subdued. If we look at numbers from Shadowstats, which uses the same calculation methods that were used in the 1980s, we can see that CPI is actually closer to 17%…. The 1970’s crisis peaked at around 14.5%….
    “…The difference between the 1970’s crisis and today’s crisis is that we are facing far worse conditions. Our crisis started around 2008 after the credit bubble collapse, which facilitated an endless stream of bailouts and stimulus packages. The Federal Reserve has printed or created tens of trillions of dollars over the course of the past 14 years.
    “The official US national debt has tripled in that time. In 2020 alone, the Fed created over $6 trillion from thin air and injected it directly into the economy through covid relief checks and PPP loans. Unemployment is low, for now, but this is a fleeting condition created by covid stimulus. Joblessness will likely skyrocket over the next year now that covid checks are spent and the average consumer has maxed out their credit cards….”

    And here’s a curious one from the NY Post, which seems to have decided to challenge The Bee on its own ground:

    As a Buckeye midwesterner, I look askance at MeatChicken in general, of course.

    But seriously guys in that state up north, WTF? Wretched Whitmer? Debbie StabHerNow? What gives? You’re not all that different than normal America, how do you end up with these turkeys time and again?

  32. THANKS BE TO YOU! I am Spartacus. We are too much in the Dark because of digital censorship. I feel I was better plugged in to on the ground activists on year ago than I am now.

    MY SINCERE thanks!
    Please post again when you have the time.
