Mississippi Democrats Toni Johnson and Kidada Brown Refuse to Certify Election Results Challenged By Republican Brian Flowers



Yes, you are reading that right!  The name, Toni Johnson (https://rumble.com/v1wsyi6-teaser-trailer-for-toni.html), and election malfeasance have become synonymous.  Kadida Brown upheld her election violations and attempted to explain it away to the media and the public as a matter of human flaw for which we should be accustomed to its regular occurrence.  Johnson's deliberate absence and lack of due diligence on election night have led to a cheated Republican, Brian Flowers, challenging the Hinds County Election results.  Cheated how you ask!  Let's try this phrase: "chain of custody". The U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) refers to it as the essential step to a transparent and trustworthy election. Chain of Custody refers to the processes, or paper trail, that documents the transfer of materials from one person (or place) to the next. With the chain of custody questioned, these two comrades in voting arms would have been the last to forsake the certification.  There seemed one woman of virtue--Yvonne Horton.



Democratic Party Member Yvonne Robinson Horton seemed the moral leader of the Hinds County, Mississippi Election Commission.  This misdirection could easily have been assessed from her public notice on late Election night, when the District 4 Election Commissioner announced that vote tallies from 21 precincts in the county which had been stored on thumb drives were unaccounted for, according to multiple media reports. The Yahoo News [https://news.yahoo.com/election-issues-mississippi-turnout-leads-195513185.html?fr=sycsrp_catchall], reported, thanks to the faithful, elected official that "there were no election results from Hinds County until just before midnight Tuesday, and as of noon (the following) Wednesday has just over two-thirds of the expected total reported". While not the exact origins of dysfunction for the Hines County Election Board, it was certainly a terrific illumination of the corruption, malfeasance, and incompetence witnessed during the Democrat Election Count Season in Mississippi's capital city--Jackson.  I mention misdirection--the action or process of directing someone to the wrong place or in the wrong direction.  Horton, a Marxist celebrant of Kwanzaa through her Women for Progress of Mississippi, Inc. membership (http://womenforprogress.net/kwanzaa2017.html), is in an organization committed to ensuring transparency, accountability, and preservation of the common good, except when the commitment requires the protection of the Republican candidate's just pursuits.  No partisanship or bias here.  In how Horton handled the press and her fellow commissioners, you would think her principles would move her unto righteousness.  She, the chair of the Administrative Council at Asbury United Methodist Church and holder of a Master’s degree in Social Science Education from Jackson State University (JSU), certainly misled us on her certification intentions.  


How?


You would think that from the amount of shade (https://www.wlbt.com/2022/11/19/hinds-co-election-commission-certifies-2022-results/) that she was throwing on Kidada Brown, Jermal Clark, and Toni Johnson, during media interviews, she would be willing to decertify Hinds County with a quickness!  The incredible rolling of her eyes at the responses of her fellow election commissioners, during a WAPT 16 interview with Scott Simmons, (https://www.wapt.com/article/flowers-challenges-results-of-congressional-race-that-won-thompson-re-election/41955968#) would have led one to believe the Church Leader had found a sinner in the pews and was calling for the Holy Oil!  Her public denouncement on election night seemed to have indicted Toni Johnson. Her eye rolls at Steve Harvey Super Fan Kidada Brown and Jermal Clark seemed to have convicted them of incompetence and spreading a false narrative.  You would have thought that this pillar of the community would have stood up for righteousness.  However, she did not disappoint.  




Don't be confused because WBLT misreported that "four of the five commissioners signed off on the results."  Not True!  Only three of the five Democrats did so: Chairman Varnado, Clark, and Horton.  Who didn't vote for the tampered election results?  Johnson and Brown.  WLBT, a conservative DC media group, TECN.TV, shouldn't scoop you on this Jackson story.  Just saying!


Horton is a Democrat, first and foremost.  The member of the Jackson State University National Alumni Association, Inc, (JSUNAA), Women for Progress member, and NAACP member stayed true to form and joined Chairman Shirley Varnado and Jermal Clark in certifying the Hinds County Election (https://www.wlbt.com/2022/11/19/hinds-co-election-commission-certifies-2022-results/).  Horton, the Friend of the Annie Jeffers Library of Bolton, MS, couldn't have possibly tried to get Congressman Bennie Thompson, Incorporator of the Annie Thompson Scholarship Fund of Bolton, MS, over the hurdle.  Done in spite of foreknowledge of her fellow commissioner's midterm election fraud and incompetence.  By the way, for those trying to figure this out, Annie Lauris Thompson Jeffers aka Annie Jeffers, aka Annie Thompson is the mother of Congressman Bennie Thompson, the former Mayor of Bolton.  


No Party Before Principle here?


It is the blur of Party Politics that seems to place the onus on fair elections on one's loyalty to the political organization rather than the citizenry.  It is a profession of the Uniparty--Marxist-Democrats and RINOs--and a seeming deficiency amongst the conservatives. Election Commissioner Clark makes it abundantly clear whom he protects and takes direction.  Clark, on his candidate's website, alerts the world that it's Party all the way: "Loyal to the Democratic Party" Over "Accountable to Voters of District 3" (https://sabir697.wixsite.com/electjermalclark).  He further assures, "I have served on the Hinds County Democratic Executive Committee as Chairman of the Elections Committee, Party Development Committee, Voter Registration Committee, and Campaign Committee."  Does corruption exist on an Election Board that Clark has "served...for over nine (9) years"?  When it is Party First, some would say yes!  On Chairman Varnado's Election Facebook Page, a voting constituent challenges her on the subject (https://www.facebook.com/SVarnado4ElectionCommissioner5/photos/a.138343651305264/138343484638614).  



Buddy Brown: Hopefully you ain’t Corrupted like the rest!

Shirley Varnado for Election Commissioner District 5: Buddy Brown I just want to do the Job the correct way and spending the time it takes to do it. I don't know how to be corrupt.


Chairman Varnado, welcome to corruption.  It's called Hinds County.  Three days after certifying the election, Cedric Cornelius pled guilty in connection to the Hinds County Election Commission (HCEC) fraud scandal. WBLT reported that "Cornelius, a Hinds County resident, was indicted on multiple charges alongside Hinds County Election Commissioner Toni Johnson. Another woman, Sudie Jones-Teague, was also arrested in connection to the case (https://www.wjtv.com/news/local-news/man-pleads-guilty-in-election-commission-fraud-scandal/)."  Oh, yeah, if you like that one then, you will love this one.  How about the time an Election Commissioner questions how a contractor was chosen to deliver voting machines (https://www.wlbt.com/2021/10/27/election-commissioner-questions-procedures-bringing-contractor-deliver-voting-machines/)?  WLBT reported that Hinds County hired a contractor to deliver voting machines for next week’s special election before the company submitted a bid for the work, and after a more experienced vendor’s bid had been rejected.  I wonder who wrote the correspondence to question this corruption.  WLBT reports, "Varnado questions why the county chose the firm prior to it submitting a bid and prior to the company having the information needed so it could submit a bid."  Varnado may have not wanted to be part of a corrupt system but, as Chairman, she has overseen it like none other.


Varnado never reigned in the former Chairman, Toni Johnson.  The latter, a defendant in the Hinds County Election Fraud Case, contrary to the assertions made in her motion, has been charged under the instant indictment with two counts of conspiracy to bribe a public official in violation of § 97-1-1 of the Mississippi Code Annotated; two counts of conspiracy to defraud the government in violation of § 97-7-11 of the Mississippi Code Annotated; four counts of conspiracy to make fraudulent statements in violation of §97-1-1 of the Mississippi Code Annotated; one count of conspiracy to embezzle in violation of §97-1-1 of the Mississippi Code Annotated; ten counts of making fraudulent claims and writings in violation of §97-7-10 of the Mississippi Code Annotated; five counts of bribery in violation of §97-11-53 of the Mississippi Code Annotated; and two counts of embezzlement in violation of §97-11-31 of the Mississippi Code Annotated.  


Sure, you were only a fellow public servant but, she was under your helm, Ms. Varnado, how did she perform?  While fellow Commissioner Horton publicly announced that Johnson was incompetent and fraudulent in handling her election management duties; there was not one peep from Chairman Varnado.  When Johnson attempted to explain away her ineptness, you would have thought Chairman Varnado was teaching a class at Gallaudet.  She was nowhere to be found.  Per WBLT 3 News, Johnson arrogantly defended her actions: "They weren’t lost, they weren’t missing. The other commissioners just failed to open the bags, pull them out, and give them to the technician."  There seemed a lack of leadership and coordination among the collective.  The visible failure of the fraudulent Mississippi midterm election was Toni Johnson.  She had so little faith in her own work that she refused to show up for the scheduled Election Board November meeting and to sign the certification of the Second Congressional District Election 2022.  However, the greatest loss was the unseen lack of integrity by the Hinds County Chairman.  Varnado refused to attend the Election Board November meeting and could not coalesce the signatures of each of the Democrat members of the Board.  That would be five (5) signatures, not three (3) as officially submitted to the Secretary of State or the misreported four (4) by WLBT.  The Hinds County Election Board failed Hinds County, Jackson, Mississippi, and the United States.  More importantly, in the depths of their souls, they know that they failed themselves.  The sorrow that they feel, no matter what they show, leaves a deep scar that can not be healed with the affirmation, Making the Democrat Party Great Again is the only purpose. 




How does a leader defeat corruption?    


Mike Masoud, the author of The Leadership Role in Fighting Corruption, wrote: "While it is the role of government, the judiciary, and other agencies to enforce laws and regulations, it is leadership, which is required to succeed in the fight against corruption.  Leadership by example and setting the proper tone at the top are prerequisites for conquering corrupts and corruption.  A charismatic leader instills a culture of integrity and ethical conduct among his subordinates.  He cultivates a work environment that is conducive to ethical conduct and instills a sense of honesty and transparency.  In other words, he makes integrity a value-driven work environment.  Such environments are less prone to corruption.  He has the power to influence his subordinates. He is competent, just, firm, and shows a high level of integrity.  The effective leader does not tolerate corruption or a corrupt environment. Nepotism is not one of his currencies."


Corruption is ingrained in Hinds County Elections.  The Democrats continue it in the practice because it gives unaltered influence and illicit access to resources.  They call those that oppose corruption racists and election deniers.  Fraud is the essential essence of keeping the power in the hands of those that use race to shield the strong and infringe upon the weak.  When a black official steals from the State then, it is reported in some Hinds County neighborhoods as appropriate reparation and socially justified due to the oppressed condition.  Corruption when done by whites against blacks is as unjust as when done by blacks against blacks.  If anything, the midterms prove that race is not the seed of failed policies or the execution of duties.  However, it can be used to keep the powerful few in the seats of authority at the highest costs to any and every race, color, creed, or religion.  For Republicans and Democrats, Blacks or Whites, Election 2024's greatest issue is Anti-Corruption.  The Road to Liberty begins in Jackson, Mississippi.  It requires respect for the Voter that begins in the Legislature and the Legislature begins at a Kitchen Table where honesty and transparency is fully embraced.  If not in Hinds County then, it will never happen in the United States.

How Did the Chairman of the Homeland Security Committee Not Know That The Person Counting His Votes Was In An Illicit Business Relationship With A Drug Kingpin?

 How Did the Chairman of the Homeland Security Committee Not Know That The Person Counting His Votes Was In An Illicit Business Relationship With A Drug Kingpin?



It is Rotten in Jackson, Mississippi. And it ain't the water treatment center alone. It's the 2022 Congressional Election Count that has the fresh scent of a Mississippi cattle ranch. Not only the count has stirred the aggravation of voters but the counter has raised the ire of the disenfranchised. America's question of Mississippi, "How far from justice shall the people be in regards to this election?"


A multitude of outraged voters will appear before the Hinds County Election Board for its scheduled meeting on Monday, November 14, 2022, at 10 AM, in Jackson, MS, to protest the recent Congressional challenge between Homeland Security Chair and J6 Select Committee Chair Democrat Bennie Thompson and Republican Brian Flowers.  It must be a tremendous honor and require an extensive amount of knowledge, experience, and appreciation for domestic and foreign intelligence.  In this job, you can not let anything slip up on you.  As Homeland Security Chair, he oversees not only Homeland Security but:


Transportation and Maritime Security, Ex Officio

Emergency Preparedness, Response, and Recovery, Ex Officio

Border Security, Facilitation, and Operations, Ex Officio

Cybersecurity, Infrastructure Protection, and Innovation, Ex Officio

Oversight, Management, and Accountability, Ex Officio

Intelligence and Counterterrorism, Ex Officio


I mean, he certainly has the resume for such a post.  Prior to his initial election to the U.S. House, Thompson served as a schoolteacher, an alderman, and, then, as the mayor of Bolton, Mississippi. The Democrat served as a Hinds Country supervisor.  He was certainly prepared for illegal border crossings, espionage, drug trafficking, and cybersecurity.  Or was he?




There's no way, Thompson would have been caught with his pants down on the fact that Russia, in the midst of a war with Ukraine, had time to hack the Mississippi Secretary of State's website [https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/cyberattack-launched-against-mississippi-secretary-of-states-website-cisa-says/ar-AA13TnVC].


"At this time, we do not have confirmation as to where the (Distributed Denial of Service) activity originated and more evidence would be required to attribute to any person or group," Secretary of State Michael Watson said in a Wednesday statement.


I say maybe begin your inquiry at the office that could be most concerned about the naughty Russians interfering with an American election.  Thompson offered this statement after holding a Hearing on Election Security and Russian Interference [https://benniethompson.house.gov/media/press-releases/thompson-hearing-election-security-and-russian-interference-needed]:  




"Recognizing the alarming conclusions of our national security and intelligence agencies and ongoing reports of our foreign adversaries' intentions, on May 23, 2017, I wrote to you to request a Committee on Homeland Security investigation into Russian interference in our elections. While this Committee failed to take action, government officials continued to sound the alarm."


He certainly would not have left Mississippi in harm's way on election day, now would he?


I digress.


The furor of the disenfranchised vote is based upon the count and the counter. First, the count.  The uncertified count, according to the New York Times, has the Democrat Thompson at 101,154 votes (59.6%) while Flowers is listed at 68,427 votes (40.4%).  In 2022, Thompson received the greatest amount of his midterm election votes from Hinds County--43,619.  That is freaking amazing when you research and discover that Thompson received the exact same number of votes from Hinds County--43,619--during the 2020 presidential election race according to the New York Times.  According to Statista, the turnout rates among the voting-eligible population in the United States presidential races have always been higher than in midterm elections. How unusual that Thompson got the same number of votes in a presidential election turnout as a midterm election turnout.  Truly amazing indeed since Mississippi celebrated a record voter turnout during the last presidential year and Hinds County bemoaned a low turnout, less than 25%, this year.


I do not know where Jacksonian Democrats were able to arrange such a precise algorithm for turnout and vote in this most recent election.  However, Elon Musk, you might want to turn to the Jacksonian Democrats on your next Twitter enterprise.




The Count is not the only thing that brings anxiety to voters  The one who counted raises even greater concerns.


Tyrant Joseph Stalin is attributed to this quote, "He who votes does not have power. He who counts the votes has power."  While he may or may not have said it, the feeling that it leaves one expresses the sense of powerlessness that a voter experiences when they believe their vote has been treated insensitively.


Mississippi invested the power to count the votes in Elections 2020 and 2022 to their State Democratic Party Member Toni Johnson, who serves as Hinds County Election Board Member District 2 [tjohnson@co.hinds.ms.us]. Ms. Johnson once had the privilege of serving as Chairman of the gods' forsaken Board.  However, that came to a thunderous end.  In July 2021, minutes before the Hinds County Election Commission held a special Friday afternoon meeting to remove her as chair, Toni Johnson sent a text to commissioners saying she was stepping down [https://www.wlbt.com/2021/07/23/election-commission-chair-resigns-minutes-before-board-votes-her-out/].  One of the most ethical posts in government and she steps down.  Why?  "In light of the recent accusations and public witch hunt by this office, I’m stepping down as chairman only, effective now,”   Accusations that she was not as ethical as the job required.  Question.  Why did the Board not only consider voting her out as Chairman but, completely off the Board?  The Power of Party maybe.  What is the real reason for the resignation?  Howabout the STATE OF MISSISSIPPI VS TONI JOHNSON, CAUSE NO. 22-0-601, Case: 25CI1:22-cr-00601, Filed: 09/15/2022?  


Toni Johnson has been accused of the following [https://www.scribd.com/document/602928486/Response-to-Motion]:




The defendant, Hinds County Election Commissioner Toni Johnson, contrary to the assertions made in her motion, has been charged under the instant indictment with two counts of conspiracy to bribe a public official in violation of § 97-1-1 of the Mississippi Code Annotated; two counts of conspiracy to defraud the government in violation of § 97-7-11 of the Mississippi Code Annotated; four counts of conspiracy to make fraudulent statements in violation of §97-1-1 of the Mississippi Code Annotated; one count of conspiracy to embezzle in violation of §97-1-1 of the Mississippi Code Annotated; ten counts of making fraudulent claims and writings in violation of §97-7-10 of the Mississippi Code Annotated; five counts of bribery in violation of §97-11-53 of the Mississippi Code Annotated; and two counts of embezzlement in violation of §97-11-31 of the Mississippi Code Annotated.


The State was concerned that the Court might consider this a witch hunt of a public official so they disclosed the relationship of the accused:


The charges in the indictment stem, in-part, from the, sordid, corrupt and duplicitous actions of Election Commissioner Johnson, an elected public official, hand-picking Cedric Cornelius, a man with whom she maintained an ongoing sexual affair, and Sudie Teague-Jones, a friend of co-defendant Cornelius, as Hinds County vendors to provide services to Hinds County, which they had no qualifications to perform; and, in-part, from Election Commissioner Johnson’s own selfish conversion of Hinds County property, meant to protect the citizens of Hinds County from a global pandemic, to her own use. Per the indictment, Commissioner Johnson,

knowing that Teague-Jones and Cornelius were not qualified, falsely represented to Hinds County officials that they were not only qualified to perform said services, but had also completed said services, resulting in over $300,000.00 worth of funds, meant to protect the citizens of Hinds County during the Covid-19 pandemic, being directed toward Cornelius and Teague-Jones.



Tantalizing enough is the sexual affair however, that is not enough to be thrown off an election board.  However, howabout a business relationship with a drug kingpin?  A drug kingpin, drug lord, or drug baron is a person who controls a network of persons involved in the illegal drug trade and acts as the executive in such transactions. Often it is difficult to prosecute a drug kingpin because a kingpin might never be directly in possession of something illegal.  However, Mississippi was able to execute an arrest.  Sudie Jones-Teague, the drug kingpin, was arrested in the Hinds County election fraud case.  Mississippi State Auditor’s Office Agents upon arrest delivered a demand letter to Jones-Teague showing that she owed nearly $150,000 to Hinds County taxpayers, an amount that includes the office’s costs for investigating the case.  Jones-Teague’s company, New Beginnings LLC, allegedly received $118,000 in elections grant money to provide cleaning and disinfectant services to the election commission headquarters, circuit clerk’s office, and voting precincts in 2020.  New Beginnings LLC also received $4,200 in county taxpayer money to provide training luncheons to new commissioners.  New Beginnings is registered as a “hair and fashion” company by the Mississippi Secretary of State’s Office. [https://www.wlbt.com/2022/02/22/former-drug-kingpin-taken-into-custody-hinds-county-election-fraud-case]



The Real Question is why was Toni Johnson allowed to continue in her role as Commissioner?  By the State? By the 2nd Congressional District?  By Jackson, MS?  The Second Real Question is Why Did A Man Named Thompson, with all of his knowledge, experience, and appreciation for domestic and foreign intelligence, Not Publicly fight to remove his fellow Democrat Johnson from both the Hinds County Election Board and the Mississippi Democrat Party?  Was this part of the Democrat Crime Reform Plan?  What Did Thompson Know, And When Did He Know It?  How can any citizen of Jackson or Hinds County feel comfortable knowing that a woman consorting with a former drug kingpin and facing allegations of fraud is counting their vote?  Why did not the Mainstream Media in Jackson or Mississippi raise any of these issues?  Are they not important in a Democrat town if the Democrat is the subject of the questions?


This is not a question of color.  It is a question of the content of the character.


According to Mississippi Ethics Law, Toni was not supposed to be counting votes.  

Heck, she wasn't supposed to be hanging out by a voting booth!


What Does Mississippi Law Have to Say? Well, This is From the Mississippi Election Commission's Election Commissioners Association of Mississippi Winter Conference, Philadelphia January 25, 2018 Review [https://slidetodoc.com/mississippi-ethics-commission-election-commissioners-association-of-mississippi/]:


Section 25 -4 -105(1) No public servant shall use his official position to obtain, or attempt to obtain, pecuniary benefit for himself other than that compensation provided for by law, or to obtain, or attempt to obtain, pecuniary benefit for any relative or any business with which he is associated.


Notice the word "attempt".  Merriam-Webster says it means: "to make an effort to do, accomplish, solve, or effect".  Do you believe that Ms. Johnson made an effort to defraud Hinds County?


Then, Ms. Johnson must be a hell of a counter!


Ever Hear of Broken Chain of Custody?  Chain of custody refers to the process or paper trail documenting the control or transfer of equipment and materials, such as voting machines or ballots.  When the chain is broken there is a very high risk of electoral fraud as advised by Greg Stenstrom, Author of Parallel Election: A Blueprint for Deception (Website: parallelelection.com) [https://rumble.com/v1t3wqy-tecn.tv-election-acceptor-chairman-bennie-thompson-stole-mississippi-cd-2-e.html].  What is electoral fraud?  Electoral fraud is referred to as election manipulation, voter fraud, or vote rigging, which involves illegal interference with the process of an election, either by increasing the vote share of a favored candidate, depressing the vote share of rival candidates, or both.  It differs from but often goes hand-in-hand with voter suppression.  


Ms. Johnson didn't break the chain.  She smashed it!  




"According to District 4 Election Commissioner Yvonne Robinson Horton, there were 21 precincts of the county's 108 precincts that were unaccounted for. That means, by definition, that some could be lost, some could still be in the machine, or some could still be en route to the courthouse." [https://www.wapt.com/article/hinds-county-election-commissioner-says-21-precincts-unaccounted-for-tuesday-night/41910050]  Don't worry, here comes the Southern Comfort.  According to Horton, this is a common occurrence, and at least one goes missing every election.  Johnson said seven were in her district alone.  So the incompetence was evenly spread.  Whew, I thought it was limited to just one commissioner.  Maybe the words of Hinds County Circuit Clerk Zack Wallace will salve your concerns: "Sometimes things happen.  The election will be certified on time and I'm pretty sure everything will go well."  Kinda like serving slop for dinner and excusing it as a mere oversight of the chef. No worries, dinner is served.  Certainly, there was no mention to the voting public that election officials took at least five (5) of the removable media or USB flash drives to their homes after the election. USB flash drives are used in three ways in elections:


(a) To load election information onto voting machines.

(b) To collect and store election results.

(c) To transport election results after polls close to the election office.


Generally, USB flash drives are transported by two or more people in sealed bags, with the serial number of each device logged every step of its journey before, during, and after an election.  After the election, officials can use a utility to restore their USBs to their known factory state. Through this reformatting, election officials can be confident that the USB is clean and ready to reuse. 


You see, nothing to worry about there.  They kept it safe in their homes.  Nothing to see here, you darn election denier.


The Pueblo Police Department’s High-Tech Crime Unit arrested 31-year-old Richard Patton, a registered Democrat, in connection with an investigation into felony charges of tampering with voting equipment and misdemeanor charges of cybercrime-unauthorized access [https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/11/registered-democrat-arrested-voting-machine-tampering-allegedly-inserted-usb-flash-drive-voting-machine/].  An election worker in a western Michigan town has been charged with two felonies after allegedly inserting a flash drive into a computer containing confidential voter registration data during an election.  Chris Becker, the county's prosecuting attorney, said he had charged the election worker, James Donald Holkeboer, with falsifying election records and using a computer to commit a crime. If convicted, he could face up to nine years in prison [https://www.reuters.com/world/us/michigan-election-worker-charged-with-tampering-with-voting-equipment-2022-09-29/].  United States Attorney Jennifer Arbittier Williams announced today that former U.S. Congressman Michael “Ozzie” Myers, 79, of Philadelphia, PA, pleaded guilty today to conspiracy to deprive voters of civil rights, bribery, obstruction of justice, falsification of voting records, and conspiring to illegally vote in a federal election for orchestrating schemes to fraudulently stuff the ballot boxes for specific Democratic candidates in 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018 Pennsylvania elections [https://www.justice.gov/usao-edpa/pr/former-us-congressman-and-philadelphia-political-operative-pleads-guilty-election-fraud].  Wow, is there a theme developing here?  Election tampering is the act or process of changing, damaging, or interfering with something, especially with the intent to falsify, cheat, or defraud.  Taking USB flash drives home and locking up boxes in public facilities creates a break in the chain of custody and indeed, increases the threat of electoral fraud.  However, more so, having someone that is accused of defrauding the taxpaying public during a pandemic increases the likelihood of electoral fraud.


It is the Count and the Counter that draw the fury of so many disenfranchised voters throughout Mississippi's 2nd Congressional District.  A disenfranchised voter is not just a Stacy Abrams supporter or someone that feels discriminated against for having to vote on election day when they had a whole major league baseball season to actually vote and never got around to it. According to Merriam-Webster, it means to deprive of a franchise, of a legal right, or of some privilege or immunity especially: to deprive of the right to vote.  The act of voting, outside of serving in our Nation's military, is the most solemn act of patriotism that any citizen may dutiful attend.  This is not merely a personal belief of sage wisdom but an adherence to what our Founders believed. Samuel Adams called voting "one of the most solemn trusts in human society for which he is accountable to God and his country."  It is the lack of accountability in Hinds County when it comes to the solemn protection of this natural right that has enraged Americans in the 2nd Congressional District, in Mississippi, and around the Nation.  2nd Congressional Mississippi Voters want the accountability of the Hinds County Election Board which has not been executed by Governor Tate Reeves, Secretary Of State Michael Watson, Attorney General Lynn Fitch, the Mississippi Election Commission, and Ethics Committee, or the Hinds County Election Board, itself.  The elected officials may not wish to appear racist by encouraging the Hinds County Board to do what is legal and right in a black voting district which is another name for a majority-minority district.  That is a district in which a racial minority group or groups comprise a majority of the district's total population.  That would seem very unwoke in a New Age Cancel Culture. Wouldn't want White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, midnight talk show host Jimmy Kimmel, or Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba calling you racist.  Ooh, it burns.




Why are Mississippi's 2nd Congressional District voters willing to go i7nto crime-ridden, corrupt Jackson on Monday?  It is for the sanctity of truth and justice in elections.  Feeling oppressed and unprotected by their state and local governments, they feel that if their voice is not heard on Monday then, their natural rights will be abandoned and the graft will malign the lives of all Mississippians.  At the risk of being called "violent extremists" by the media, "racists" by the Marxists that have compromised this election, and unheard because their vote has been hushed within a minority-majority district, these patriots are demanding transparency, that every legal vote be counted, and that every illegal or fraudulent vote not be counted.  The duty of the American citizen is not merely to complain about those that are elected to serve our Nation constitutionally.  It is to hold fast to our natural rights against the potential of losing them to the rule of the mob.  Corruption, dishonest or fraudulent conduct by those in power, typically involving bribery, is the oiled blade that stabs at the heart of We the People sincerely doing our duty. We peaceably remind our neighbors of our sovereign duty solemnly and expect their respect for our protest. John Adams put it this way:


"We electors have an important constitutional power placed in our hands; we have a check upon two branches of the legislature . . . the power I mean of electing at stated periods [each] branch. . . . It becomes necessary to every [citizen] then, to be in some degree a statesman, and to examine and judge for himself of the tendency of political principles and measures. Let us examine, then, with a sober, a manly . . . and a Christian spirit; let us neglect all party [loyalty] and advert to facts; let us believe no man to be infallible or impeccable in government any more than in religion; take no man’s word against evidence, nor implicitly adopt the sentiments of others who may be deceived themselves, or may be interested in deceiving us."


Protest On Mississippi 2nd Congressional District.  Protest On!

The Real Goal of Vision Zero: Eliminating Private Vehicle Ownership and Freedom of Mobility

 



The Real Goal of Vision Zero: 

Eliminating Private Vehicle Ownership and Freedom of Mobility


“Most men would rather deny a hard truth than face it.”

― George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones



There are three hard truths that the citizens of Washington, DC must be willing to face in order to defund Vision Zero.  The first is that Vision Zero is a taxpayer boondoggle that fails to achieve what it is advertised to achieve.  The second is that ideologues measure the success of Vision Zero not by achieving zero traffic deaths but by adding countries, states, cities and other legislative jurisdictions to their rolls.  Lastly, the real goal of Vision Zero is eliminating private motorized transportation and freedom of mobility and replacing it with a human-powered or motor-powered, pedal-driven, single-track vehicle, having two wheels attached to a frame, one behind the other and mobility heavily regulated by public entities.  While the vision proclaims that "Life and health can never be exchanged for other benefits within the society", we must understand that certain lobbyists would persuade you to “follow their science” and not “follow their money” when it comes to installing new systems of control on how you move.

DC Witness, a true journalistic organization that brings unprecedented transparency to Washington, D.C.’s Criminal Justice system, reported the following on the Nation Capitol’s homicide toll: 


‘There were 80 homicides in DC from the beginning of this year through the end of May, according to D.C. Witness data...Eighty percent of the 2021 victims were shot. Twelve-and-a-half percent were stabbed.”


Certainly, the Democrat Mayor of Washington, DC would never be accessed of bring unconcerned about murders in the City,  In 2021, she has watched the number of homicides rise to over 200 (204 per this reporting) with the 2022 New Year five (3) weeks away.  In fact, the Mayor that some described as “the Police-bashing, BLM-backing D.C. mayor” has never had less than 100 homicides during any year of her tenure as Commander of Public Safety and Justice.  She has watched as the Police Chief turnstile has spun through three notable public servants: Cathy Lanier, now Senior Vice President of Security with the National Football League; Peter Newsham, now Chief of Police for nearby Prince William County, Virginia; and currently, Chief Robert Contee III.  Even this record, asin a Democrat stronghold, she is brazen to announce that she will run again.


So in May 2021, what death did she have on her mind?  What lives lost were valued with a $351 million promissory note?  Maybe, on May 28, 2021, Mayor Bowser was thinking of 65 year old Ella-Mae Neal who was killed in the 1800 block of Q Street SE when someone opened fire, a police report says.  Maybe on May 28, 2021, Mayor Bowser was thinking of the Cold Case of Charnice Milton, a community journalist shot and killed in the 2700 block of Good Hope Road, SE on Wednesday, May 27, 2015.  Certainly, these lives mattered so greatly as to infuse millions of dollars into the DC Cold Case Division to take heinous criminals off the streets.

Not Cold Cases from DC’s Major Case / Unsolved Homicides Division.

Not the Ever Escalating DC Homicide Count.

The greatest threat to the existence of DC residents was on her mind: Traffic Fatalities.


Well, at least, Mayor Bwser could find the shaft to the silver and gold digging in this mine.  Heck, there was no money in the other Dearth Stats.  The Vision Zero initiative is D.C.'s plan, begun in 2015,  to reduce traffic fatalities to zero by the year 2024. In 2020, the DC Council passed a massive amended, under funded Vision Zero bill to address safety on D.C. streets. It included provisions for building more sidewalks, protected bike lanes, and improving traffic enforcement.  



Vision Zero is a multi-national road traffic safety project that aims to achieve a highway system with no fatalities or serious injuries involving road traffic. It started in Sweden and was approved by their parliament in October 1997.  Sweden introduced a road safety policy named Vision Zero with the long-term aim of cutting fatal accidents to zero by 2020.  The target was that by 2007, there would be no more than 270 road traffic deaths, but this target wasn't reached, with almost 500 people dying that year.  It is worth noting that Sweden's road death toll was declining prior to 1997 and continued to do so under Vision Zero.  However, the number of deaths has not improved since 2013.  For the District of Columbia, traffic fatalities  had fallen from a high of 72 (2001) to a low of 19 (2012).  Since Mayor Bowser has chosen the pathway to zero through the United Nations’ sustainability initiatives in 2015, traffic fatalities have risen.  In 2015, DC Vision Zero recorded 26 traffic fatalities.  DC Vision Zero traffic fatalities as of November 30, 2021, have risen to 39, which is 5% above the 37 traffic fatalities at this time last year.  It took Sweden more than two decades to halve their traffic fatalities.   When they could not achieve their target of halving 270, they moved the goal posts to the achievable year of 2050.


Could it be that Vision Zero has achieved its maximum success statistically?  The ideologues say, “NO!”  Apparently, like socialism, it has not been tried the right way yet and we must double down on what’s not working.  All that is needed is more money and time and the problem will be fixed.  Imagine if the ideologues felt that way about eliminating abortions or homicdes in Urban America.  Imagine Vision Zero Cold Cases.  No, if we are to focus on utopia, let it begin with traffic.  How shall we achieve Zero if we have done all that we can?  Wait a minute, there is more?  Yes, what is the ultimate reason that you have traffic fatalities?  Yes, you got it, cars and trucks.


The Government of Sweden defines Vision Zero in their re-commitment in this way: “The long-term objective is that no one shall be killed or seriously injured in traffic and that the design, function and use of the transport system shall be adapted to the standards this requires. Vision Zero is an approach wherein responsibility for transport safety is shared between individual transport system users and “system designers” (the entities that shape the system, such as the automotive industry, lawmakers and infrastructure owners). If transport system users do not follow the rules - for reasons such as lack of respect, knowledge, acceptance or capacity - or if personal injuries occur in a crash, the system shapers must take further measures to the extent required to prevent deaths and serious injuries.”


The DC Mayor and her Administration defines Vision Zero in this way: 


“By the year 2024, Washington, DC will reach zero fatalities and serious injuries to travelers of our transportation system, through more effective use of data, education, enforcement, and engineering.

 

Vision Zero is a part of Mayor Bowser’s response to the US Department of Transportation’s Mayor’s Challenge for Safer People and Safer Streets, which aims to improve pedestrian and bicycle transportation safety by showcasing effective local actions, empowering local leaders to take action, and promoting partnerships to advance pedestrian and bicycle safety.


Vision Zero requires an all-hands-on-deck approach. More than 20 District government agencies are engaged in the Vision Zero Initiative, including DDOT, Department of Public Works, the Deputy Mayor for Health and Human Services, Metropolitan Police Department, DC TaxiCab Commission, the Department of Motor Vehicles, the DC Office on Aging, DC Public Schools, Fire and Emergency Medical Services, Homeland Security and Management, Office of Unified Communications, Department of Health, the Office of the Attorney General, Office of the Chief Technology Officer, Office of Disability Rights, Office of Planning, Office of the City Administrator, Office of the State Superintendent of Education, the Deputy Mayor for Education, Office of Policy and Legislative Affairs, and the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development.”


So why do I highlight the word “bicycle”? It’s a clue to where this folly is trending.  The Washington Area Bicyclist Association (WABA) is one of DC’s Biggest Lobbyists for Vision Zero.  WABA works in coalition with organizations across the region to advance transportation equity. We also convene the annual Washington Region Vision Zero Summit, which brings together elected officials, decision-makers, advocates, thought leaders, and the private sector  to share best practices, insights and innovations to build a safer, more equitable transportation network.


The car and truck are your enemy.  The Bike is your friend.  Car goes 20+ mph.  The average Bike Speed on Flat Terrain is 18 mph.  You see if a Bike hits you then, there is a 100% probability that you will live.


WOKE yet?


Arne Karyd, Department of Science and Technology, University of Sweden, in August 2001, wrote: “a vision has to be achievable in a not too distant future, else it is not a vision but a dream, whim or caprice and should be treated accordingly.”


Sweden recommitted to Vision Zero in 2021 after watching their traffic fatality numbers steadily rise since 2013.  There newest goals:


  • To reduce the level of road crashes in urban areas and along the major transport corridors.

  • To improve road and community safety, particularly for the most vulnerable users of the transport network.

  • To work closely with the government, private sector, and other stakeholders to develop a coordinated approach and solutions to problems through the delivery of joint road safety projects, and exchange of information on the best practice, development, and the best value for money.


WOKE yet?



The WOKE Lobby sees only one remaining option: eliminate private motorized transportation and freedom of mobility.  You see the problem is cars and trucks.  Private transportation gives too much leeway to the all-powerful, corrupt driver.  We must remove this heinous device from the roadway and give people alternatives: bicycles, walking, public transportation and other vehicle forms that spare the ozone in urban America.  Since non-Hispanic Black people (up 23%) are more likely to be involved in crashes then, we must get them off the streets.  As we protect them with gun control and rent control then, we must protect them with car control.  Ain’t we kind and caring Democrats.


You think that I am playing.  WOKE yet?


In Fiscal Year 2017, the DC Department of Transportation (DDOT) granted DC Villages / Capitol Hill Village $160,000 to reduce the number of senior drivers in the City by transitioning them to a volunteer ride program and use of ridesharing.  


According to DDOT,”The District’s current speed limit is 25 mph unless otherwise posted. However, many corridors have higher speed limits. If a vehicle traveling at approximately 20 mph strikes a pedestrian, the likelihood of the pedestrian surviving is about 94 percent.” Hence, the overall speed limit in DC must be 20 because no one would die.  


“As long as cars are in the picture, the single most effective step a city can take to cut down on the number and severity of crashes is to slow vehicles”, according to Leah Shahum, founder and director of the national nonprofit campaign Vision Zero Network. “That speed reduction can come from redesigning roadways or lowering and better enforcing speed limits.”


You see, even with the best laid plans of mice and men, there is a natural risk of death and injury incurred by anyone living.  No matter how much the ideologues advise that their plans, engineering, and schemes will eliminate the risk of death, their prepositions are futile.  Whether it is DC, Chicago, New York, or Philly, to name a few, each has seen a rise in traffic fatalities since implementing Vision Zero.  If DC does not reach 0 traffic fatalities in 2024 then, what?  Will it recommit to the false flag of focus of  the “Vision” or will it focus on another pie-in-the-sky, utopian laden device?  The elimination of cars and trucks is always a possibility.


WOKE yet?



Countries around the world are looking at new ways to reduce or eliminate car traffic in downtown areas, aiming to reduce collision danger as well as air and noise pollution.   It’s a climate thang, you wouldn’t understand.  London levies a “congestion charge” to eliminate cars and trucks, the French Capital, Paris, Banned Motor Vehicles for 1 Day, Barcelona is developing car-free “superblocks”, Hamburg has a 20-year plan to eliminate cars downtown, and China, home of the Wuhan Flu, has talked about building a city free of cars from scratch.


“We must first remember that all cities were car-free little more than a century ago,” writes J. H. Crawford, “Cars were never necessary in cities and in many respects they worked against the fundamental purpose of cities: to bring many people together in a space where social, cultural and economic synergies could develop. Because cars require so much space for movement and parking, they work against this objective — they cause cities to expand in order to provide the land cars need.”


The ideologue will say do it again no matter what your lying eyes tell you.  Sweden merely said “let’s do it again” with a focus on spreading the good name of our country to all of the world: 


“Sweden’s transport safety work is a success. In percentage terms, there has been a sharp reduction in road traffic fatalities since the turn of the millennium, even though the number of road deaths in Sweden was already relatively low. The Vision Zero approach has engendered interest elsewhere in the world and the concept has now been adopted by several other countries and cities outside Sweden. Swedish transport safety work in line with Vision Zero has also been praised by international institutions such as the UN and the EU, and there is substantial international demand for Swedish knowledge and Swedish experience.”  


Yes, when it ain’t working DC sell the experience and relive the narrative.


Karyd says that if it didn't work then, save the program and create an epidemic:


“Traffic death could be regarded as an ongoing epidemic of long standing. Its pattern of

infliction includes maybe 99% of the population, as almost all of us are travelers. Only

inmates, the very ill and the very old find themselves protected from the dangers of traffic as they are rarely able to be travelers. Everyone else is in the risk zone. The “road traffic epidemic” has, according to figures not yet double-checked, killed some 65,000 people from (probably) 1911 when the statistics system was revised.”


Yes, call in the Faucians and create a vaccine.  Wear three masks while you drive and stay six feet apart from other passengers. What a Karyd!


Aprogressive culture seeks to eliminate the perils and risks of living by removing the liberties and freedoms of those that wish to live.  You must be willing to surrender your freedom of mobility and liberty to traveling privately in order to meet the common good of the progressive state. Ask the WABA.  They preach, “While WABA believes the bill [DC Vision Zero Enhancement Omnibus Amendment Act in 2019] "had a lot of good stuff in it, functionally it’s a legislative Band-Aid on what should be an executive problem," said Browne. "When it comes to the nuts and bolts of actually making streets safer, progress is just glacial.”  Yes, your eveil vehicle must be replaced with good vehicles.  Safe street advocates continue to argue that cars and their stronghold over city streets are at the root of dangerous conditions.



Vision Zero is a taxpayer boondoggle that fails to achieve what it is advertised to achieve.  Whether in Sweden or in the US, Vision Zero is not proven to drop traffic fatalities to 0.  The only plausible way of getting close to that is to eliminate cas and trucks from the road.  This is their ultimate plan for those not following along at home.

DC is about to spend $351 million dollars on the utopic pursuit of 0 traffic fatalities.  For the Anti-freedom of movement lobby that works out to $1,907,609 for every traffic fatality during Bowser’s term.  If that money were divided for each of 937 persons lost to homicide during her tenure then, that would be $374,600 per person.  Funny how those seeking transportation equity can not even achieve that in reducing deaths.  The second is that ideologues measure the success of Vision Zero not by achieving zero traffic deaths but by adding countries, states, cities and other legislative jurisdictions to their rolls.  Sweden admits, “The favourable outcomes and Sweden’s good reputation in the transport safety field are creating the conditions for spreading Swedish expertise and Swedish goods and services. In turn, this can contribute to both improved transport safety around the world and higher exports for Swedish companies”.  In the end, it’s not about the 0, it is about the narative.  Finally, the real goal of Vision Zero is eliminating private motorized transportation and freedom of mobility and replacing it with a human-powered or motor-powered, pedal-driven, single-track vehicle, having two wheels attached to a frame, one behind the other and mobility heavily regulated by public entities.  Your government can determine whether you are essential, whether you get a “jab”, and soon whether you deserve the freedom to drive and liberty to own a car.
