Anchor Lost Policy Affidavit: Fill & Download for Free

I’m going to share a secret: Someone in the MAGAverse could actually own this lib—meaning they will actually own the deed to my existence—just by offering legitimate, relevant reference links, documentation or at least Russian-election quality video evidence to their otherwise fact-deficient shouting about rigged elections, voter fraud and all the debunked charges Trump made to avoid admitting he lost the election because more voters chose Biden as our next President.Before we can address the reasons why a public corporation is like a communist regime in many ways, the first order of business is to correct the flawed premise of the question:“YouTube bans any video that argues or shows election fraud.”This is untrue and misleading. Two days ago, YouTube finally capitulated—not to public outcry, but in the face of a major advertiser revolt—by removing existing and banning any future videos or channels claiming voter fraud played a role in the outcome of the 2020 US Presidential Election.See the difference? YouTube doesn’t ban any video that argues or shows election fraud.Here’s a video on YouTube showing actual election fraud documented by international election monitors:…In Russia. Where the most recent widespread case of election fraud (2016) cast 22 million fake votes for the man Trump trusts more than the US federal government, Vladimir Putin. If you watch the video, it’s not just some news anchor from the BBC saying Putin carried out massive election fraud in Russia’s 2016 election.The clip includes security camera footage from a Russian polling place with a woman in sunglasses literally stuffing ballots into a collection box. And there are interviews with fully identified staff of independent NGOs monitoring the election who explain what led them to conclude Putin stole 22 million votes in that Russian election.Here’s another YouTube video from The Guardian showing real election fraud in Russia’s 2016 election:CONCLUSION: YouTube banned videos that lie and mislead viewers with claims of election fraud in our last election. YouTube did not ban any video that argues or shows election fraud.I will repeat the challenge I make frequently to Trump supporters who shout “election fraud!” without any evidence to back them up (and no, submitting an affidavit that says something doesn’t make something true):Someone was able to get security camera footage to the BBC showing ballot-box stuffing by the authoritarian Russian regime that has no free press and strict centralized control of election.So why can’t just one person from one of the 3,006 counties where voting takes place in the USA manage to get similar proof out in our freer, decentralized, live-video web streamed, bipartisan-monitored, all-local elections?It’s troubling and telling that FoxNews, the top cable news network in the US, mustered all its resources to support Trump’s claims of a rigged election… and this was the best they could do: an anonymous, hidden-in-shadow, altered voice of a woman interviewed by Fox News’ Laura Ingraham.On the FoxNews Ingraham Angle opinion show in a segment titled 'Ingraham Angle' exclusive: Nevada poll worker claims she witnessed blatant voter fraud, Witness Protection Program Woman (the shadow in the box next to Laura Ingraham) claimed she saw the Biden campaign committing voter fraud in broad daylight in Nevada. Her claims have not been substantiated or repeated by anyone else at the Nevada polling place.Ingraham said: “We are going to be concealing her identity, even disguising her voice over her own safety concerns.” The woman claimed to be a poll worker in Nevada; since saying she wore “a polling uniform” turned out to be the the smallest lie told on Laura Ingraham’s show that night, even MAGA diehards haven’t tried to push this one online:VIDEO: Fox News ridiculed over bizarre interview with disguised poll worker claiming Biden corruptionVIDEO: Laura Ingraham’s Pathetic Shadow Woman InterviewPerhaps we should approach this specious claim from an apolitical, strictly business perspective…in the form of a multiple-choice quiz?As a $300 billion video platform with 2 billion users and 25% of global internet traffic, YouTube’s business strategy is:Keeping users on the site as long as possible with video content each user wants, is passionate about and at a scale that adds 500 hours of new content every minute. For YouTube to generate annual ad revenues of more than $15 billion for 2020, content that sells matters; ideological desires are irrelevant, OR…Aggressive promotion of the company’s liberal agenda and US left-wing political interests, while suppressing and censoring alternative American political viewpoints at any cost. Executives willingly sacrifice profits and violate their fiduciary obligation to preserve shareholder value, because they like AOCIf only 12% of YouTube news channels have an ideological lean, and twice as many of these news channels are right-leaning (8%) vs. left-leaning (4%), how on Earth can this be interpreted as anti-Right, anti-Trump or liberal bias that unfairly suppresses content from conservatives in the US?The claims of liberal bias and anti-Right suppression have no basis in truth, have been repeatedly disproven by independent researchers and multiple studies since 2016, and reflect a certain constituency’s fears, misunderstanding and incorrect assumption that their perception of personal experience represents a larger trend or intentional effort to silence their views, OR…All the studies and research is fake news, and everybody knows it. Why do I see so many anti-Trump news stories if the media wasn’t out to get him?As an advertising-dependent business, marketers sponsor videos that YouTube assigns a high P-Score number. What determines each video’s P-Score?YouTube analyzes the daily one billion hours of video consumed globally and generates a P-Score based on each video’s overall popularity, suitability for advertisers, risk of harm to a brand’s reputation, and viewer ‘passion’ measured by repeat views, shares and user engagement in 100 countries and dozens of market segments, OR…The P-Score is actually The ‘Pelosi Score’, and assigned according to how video content and messaging promote the liberal political agenda of Nancy Pelosi. All non-political content has a Pelosi Score of zero and generates zero advertising revenue.YouTube began removing videos with false election claims on Dec. 9, 2020, and took down 8,000 channels promoting election disinformation. Taking this action a month after Joe Biden won the US presidential election proves:YouTube profited off efforts to delegitimize the will of America’s voters and knowingly hosted videos they knew were untrue, harmful to our democracy, and misled users who rely on YouTube for their news. Removing election disinformation was a business decision, not ideological: many major advertisers complained to YouTube and threatened to pull their sponsorships, leading to the policy change yesterday, OR…YouTube’s liberal bias is why Donald Trump lost; YouTube is censoring his supporters and denying their right to destabilize America and freedom to lie to the public. 90% of ultra-conservative Republicans can’t be wrong!A Pew Research study of YouTube traffic for December 2019 found that 24% of all YouTube news videos were focused on Donald Trump, and Trump-related videos generated twice as many views as other news videos posted that month. This suggests that:YouTube is a business, and as a business the content they offer skews toward videos that make money and generate the most traffic. If the company intentionally lost revenue and traffic by promoting an ideology in a specific political agenda (while suppressing high-traffic opposing views), investors would revolt and the stock would collapse, OR…YouTube’s radical liberal agenda prevents users from viewing Donald Trump videos and suppresses Trump content unfairly, even though it generates twice the views and revenue of non-Trump news content. The independent research by Pew and statistics from YouTube are fake news that tries to make Trump appear more popular on the platform than he is…which makes sense unless you think about itTwo-thirds of YouTube users (64%) complain that videos they encounter are false/untrue, or show people doing dangerous things. If YouTube knows users will stop watching if the videos they see are misleading, offensive or can’t be trusted, their priority as a business must be:Aggressively removing content that is known to be misleading, offensive, harmful to YouTube’s reputation, unable to generate revenue because marketers won’t sponsor disinformation, and leads to fewer views by a smaller audience that impacts YouTube’s financial success, OR…Ignoring the majority of YouTube news viewers in favor of the 8% of right-leaning news channels and a tiny subset of those channels where disinformation about the election resides makes more sense than doing the other thing.Quiz Complete!

When there are caravans of people, likely funded by Soros, trying to cross the southern border, and the numbers are in the 1000s, is this an invasion?Did George Soros Pay Refugees in Honduras to Join a Caravan and Storm the US Border?A baseless, fear-mongering and factually inaccurate tweet claiming that a group of refugees in Honduras were paid by George Soros to storm the border was posted by a United States Congressman in October 2018.A video shows a group of people in Honduras being paid by George Soros to join a migrant caravan and storm the United States border.On 17 October 2018, United States Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-FL) posted a video to Twitter and suggested, without evidence, that it showed a group of people being paid by billionaire George Soros to join a migrant caravan and storm the United States border:This tweet was replete with factual inaccuracies and baseless accusations.Congressman Matt Gaetz said that the clip presented “footage in Honduras,” but the video was actually shot in Guatemala, where the pictured refugees were lined up in front of an auto shop in Chiquimula. The Facebook page for that business features an image of the same sign that can be seen in the background of the video:The MiChiquimula Facebook page, a local site dedicated to information about Chiquimula, also posted a photograph showing this group of people lined up outside of the same buildings on 16 October 2018, the day before Gaetz shared his video:Gaetz eventually relented and admitted that he had been wrong about the location of the video:Rep. Gaetz also said that this video captured women and children being paid “2 join the caravan & storm the US border” (i.e., join a group of Honduran migrants seeking to reach the U.S). This, too, was inaccurate.The MiChiquimula Facebook page reported that this group was already en route to the United States when they stopped in the Guatemalan city to board a bus. In other words, these people were not paid to “join” the caravan, as they were already a part of it:Groups of Hondurans have chosen to travel aboard busesTaking advantage of their passage through Esquipulas, this morning various Hondurans paid to continue their journey on bus, many of them accompanied by minors and babies.”Guatemalan journalist Luis Assardo managed to speak with some of the locals and confirmed to Splinter News that these migrants were already a part of the caravan, and that they were given some money to help them get by and not as an inducement to “join” the trek.Gaetz also suggested that right-wing bogeyman George Soros was paying this group to “storm the US border.” No evidence supports this claim, but plenty refutes it.George Soros’ name is often invoked by conspiracy theorists who assert he is a “puppet master” controlling world events. President Trump similarly accused the Hungarian billionaire (without evidence) on 5 October 2018 of paying protesters during the confirmation hearings for Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh,But let’s not dismiss this claim on its face just because other similar accusations about Soros have proved baseless.The people seen in this video — virtually all of whom were women, female children, and women with small children — apparently each received a single banknote as they walked down a line, but the largest banknote in Guatemala is worth 200 Quetzales (approximately $25). Gaetz suggested in his tweet that Soros was paying this group of people to “join” a caravan and “storm” the U.S. border. If his accusation were true, that would mean that hundreds of vulnerable people decided to uproot their lives and embark on a nearly 1,500-mile journey at the risk of deportation, imprisonment, and having their children taken away from them, in order to interfere with an election that they were not directly involved in, all for $25 or less.Another commenter noted the same thing, saying the travelers had received even less than 200 Quetzales:What idiots for spreading disinformation. That’s not funding — that’s helping your fellow man. Only somebody without a brain wouldn’t notice that that the money is just a little bit of help for such a long journey … only an idiot would cross thousands of kilometers to get a 50 Quetzales bill [approximately US $6].The Open Society Foundation, which was founded by George Soros, responded to Gaetz on Twitter to note that neither they nor Soros had anything to do with these events:In addition to the logical gymnastics required to make sense of Gaetz’ accusation, Assardo reported that the money was likely raised by local merchants in the community and given to the refugees so that they could purchase supplies for their journey:From what the locals told him, the money was collected by merchants — either way, it was being given to migrants already on the caravan (likely so they could buy supplies), not to people so they would join [the caravan].We reached out to Rep. Gaetz for more information about how he obtained this footage, what information was passed to him along with the video, and how he arrived at the conclusion that it showed people being paid by George Soros to join a caravan and storm the United States border. We did notreceive a response prior to publication.Did George Soros Pay Refugees in Honduras to Join a Caravan and Storm the US Border?Now about Matt Gaetz, the want-to-be-like-Jordan carrying on yelling in the House hearings.Gaetz was born in Hollywood, Florida,[2] to Victoria "Vickey" (Quertermous) and politician Don Gaetz, and grew up near Fort Walton Beach.[3][4] His patrilineal Gaetz ancestors were immigrants from Beilstein, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany to Wisconsin.[5] He graduated from Florida State University in 2003 and from the College of William and Mary in 2007 with a J.D.[6] His father Don represented parts of northwest Florida as a member of the Florida State Senate from 2006 to 2016 and served as Senate president from 2012 to 2014. Gaetz's grandfather, Jerry Gaetz, was the mayor of Rugby, North Dakota, and a candidate for lieutenant governor of North Dakota at the 1964 North Dakota Republican Party state convention, where he died of a heart attack.[7]In April 2018, Politico described Gaetz as "one of the most enthusiastic defenders of President Trump on cable news" and a "proud Trump protege".[43] Aaron Blake of The Washington Post referred to him as one of Congress's "most controversial members," and one who has "unabashedly aligned himself with Trump on basically all things."[44]Gaetz voted in support of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.[45] He acknowledged that the bill's pass-through tax deduction would benefit President Trump, and added, "but so many Americans benefit when commercial real estate becomes easier and more accessible."[46]In January 2017, Gaetz proposed legislation to, in Gaetz's own words, "completely abolish" the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). He said, "our small businesses cannot afford to cover the costs associated with compliance, too often leading to closed doors and unemployed Americans. It is time to take back our legislative power from the EPA and abolish it permanently."[17][50]Issues and controversiesIn its July–August 2017 issue, Foreign Policy reported that Devin Murphy, a Gaetz legislative aide, had written a resolution that Gaetz brought to the House Judiciary Committee using primarily content from /r/The Donald, "a pro-Trump subreddit notorious for both its embrace of conspiracy theories and its gleeful offensiveness." One of the allegations was that James Comey had leaked investigative matters to New York Times reporter Michael S. Schmidt, beginning when Schmidt would have been around 10 years old.[79] In an email to Wired magazine, Gaetz said, "It is the responsibility of our staff to gather as much information as possible when researching a subject and provide that information for consideration. We pride ourselves on seeking as much citizen input as possible."[80] The /r/The_Donald posters' suggestions are represented in "roughly two-thirds of the total finished amendment."[80]In January 2018, Gaetz invited alt-right Holocaust denier[81] Charles C. "Chuck" Johnson to attend President Donald Trump's State of the Union address. Gaetz said that he had no "pre-existing" relationship with Johnson and only invited him to attend when Johnson showed up at his office, providing him the ticket which Gaetz's father could not use due to his bronchitis. According to Johnson, he was invited by several members of Congress but “took Gaetz’s invitation” because “he’s into stuff on the issues that I care about.”[82] Johnson had previously raised money for the neo-Nazi website The Daily Stormer.[83] Gaetz said in an interview that Johnson was “not a Holocaust denier, he’s not a white supremacist”.[81]Drunk driving arrest and speeding ticketsIn 2008, Gaetz was arrested under a charge of driving under the influence (DUI) as he was driving back from the Swamp, a nightclub on Okaloosa Island, Florida. Police recorded Gaetz driving 13 mi/h over that area's speed limit. Police noted that Gaetz had shown physical signs of intoxication, initially denied that he had drank alcohol, but later admitted to drinking two beers. Gaetz failed an eye test twice, then declined field sobriety tests. After Gaetz was arrested, he refused to take a breathalyzer test.[84]Shortly after Gaetz's case was referred to state attorney Steve Meadows, Gaetz's driving license was reinstated. Despite a time period of a year's suspension is mandated by Florida law when a driver refuses a breathalyzer test, Gaetz's suspension was less than a year long. Gaetz's refusal also did not lead to a criminal prosecution, where it could have been used against him. An officer for the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles declared there was no evidence that Gaetz refused a breathalyzer test, despite the arresting police officer having documented it in an affidavit and Gaetz's arrest report, and Gaetz's own attorney also documenting it. Gaetz's attorney also claimed a unnamed witness who knew Gaetz "observed no indication of impairment".[84]Charges against Gaetz were dismissed by Meadows. Gaetz cited the dropped charges as proof that he was innocent.[84]Between 1999 and 2014, Gaetz received 16 speeding tickets in Florida. The Scripps Florida Investigative Team reviewed Gaetz and 159 other Florida legislators, noting that 46 legislators have more than 10 driving violations.[85](Remember who his daddy was at this time....[6] His father Don represented parts of northwest Florida as a member of the Florida State Senate from 2006 to 2016 and served as Senate president from 2012 to 2014.)Apparent threat directed at Michael CohenOn February 26, 2019 –the night before the scheduled public hearing of Michael Cohen, Donald Trump's former personal attorney, before the House Oversight Committee, Gaetz directed a tweet to Cohen that implied without evidence that Cohen had had multiple extra-marital affairs and also suggested his wife might be unfaithful while he was imprisoned due to new information disclosed to her.[44]Gaetz's tweet was seen by other members of Congress as an attempt to intimidate a witness.[86][44][87][88] Gaetz initially defended his tweet to reporters, saying it was part of "witness testing, not witness tampering" and: "I don't threaten anybody." Asked to clarify, Gaetz said his "tweet speaks for itself".[89][90] After sharp criticism from other members of Congress – and an implicit rebuke by House Speaker Pelosi[91][92] – Gaetz deleted the tweet and posted a tweet in which he apologized.[90][88][93]Despite not being a member of the House Oversight Committee which Cohen would appear in front of,[90] Gaetz appeared at Cohen's hearing, stating that he wanted to observe and ask questions.[94] During the hearing, Oversight Committee member Stacey Plaskett emphasized her background as a prosecutor and counsel on House ethics and recommended that Gaetz be referred to both the House Ethics Committee and criminal prosecutors over witness intimidation and tampering.[92][95] After the hearing, Gaetz reportedly texted an apology to Cohen, who reportedly thanked Gaetz for the apology.[96]The Florida Bar opened an investigation into Gaetz for the tweet,[86][97] as did the House Ethics Committee.[98]Matt Gaetz - WikipediaGaetz family tree....Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida recently made his debut on the national stage when he attempted to hijack the first House Judiciary Committee hearing on gun violence in eight years to push the discredited notion that immigration is at the heart of violence in America — and for good measure, he tried to have two Parkland fathers who had lost their children to gunfire less than a year ago ejected from the proceedings.Even for those familiar with Gaetz’s history — claiming that “illegal immigrants” are “sucking us dry,” asserting that attacks from “Muslim terrorists” are on the rise, speculating that migrant caravans were funded by Soros, inviting a Holocaust denier to the State of the Union, defending a staffer for soliciting legislative input from a conspiracy forum known for white nationalism, and most recently, supporting the declaration of a national emergency to secure funds to build a wall (reversing his position from just a month earlier) — this basic lack of human decency was startling.It’s fair to say he’s not a fan of immigration or immigrants (to save us all time, anyone already formulating “illegal immigrant” commentary is invited here for a preview of my now standard response to this tired trope), and is not shy to share that perspective.Always curious about the immigrant past of those who actively seek to slam the door today, I decided to take a look at Gaetz’s family tree, and found many of the usual ingredients so common to the immigrant experience.The only one missing when the family arrived in Wisconsin was Rep. Gaetz’s second great-grandfather, Anton. Why? Because he was their “anchor baby” (a term he approves of), born the year after his parents and siblings immigrated.The current resident of the White House was born to an immigrant mother, but wants to do away with so-called anchor babies by ending birthright citizenship. Gaetz typically shares his views, though his family — like most of ours — certainly benefited from it, and I don’t believe he’s weighed in yet on the numerous Russians flocking to Trump properties in Florida for exactly this purpose.The White House has also announced its intention to vet refugees based on their ability to assimilate, and the best indication we’ve had of what that might mean is when then-Chief of Staff John Kelly, said of undocumented immigrants:“They’re overwhelmingly rural people. In the countries they come from, fourth-, fifth-, sixth-grade educations are kind of the norm. They don’t speak English — obviously that’s the big thing. They don’t integrate well — they don’t have skills.”In Melrose, they had their own church, St. Boniface, and school classes and religious services were all conducted in German. This remained the case all the way until 1921 when the town finally relented to pressure stemming from World War I. As explained in MNopedia (a Minnesota history resource), “Nativism during this period was a “patriotic” attitude that saw recent immigrants — particularly those of German descent — as potentially traitorous.”But Anton was American-born. Certainly he was assimilated, so none of this would have pertained to him, right? That’s a reasonable assumption, but his obituary suggests otherwise. Though he was born in Wisconsin, lived to 64, and spent his entire life in America, his obituary was in German. This was only 100 years ago.So Rep. Gaetz’s family came to America from Prussia in a chain migration fashion due to poverty. They promptly had an “anchor baby” who would live in German communities and speak German his entire life. This man would work first as a craftsman and then serve his fellow Americans as a policeman, and in so doing, shorten his life.In spite of all this, Rep. Gaetz — whose family was a victim of the same kind of prejudice he espouses — is confident in asserting that the reason so many people are being killed in America is “an immigration system that allows people to come here violently,” rather than the conspicuous epidemic of gun violence that plays out in our lives in an accelerating thoughts-and-prayers cycle. And somehow, he has convinced himself that this far-fetched belief justifies belittling bereaved parents who journeyed to Capitol Hill to help ensure that others would never know their pain.Meanwhile, in an otherwise sleepy cemetery in Melrose, Minnesota, Anton Gaetz rolls over in his grave.Meet Your Great-Great-Grandfather, Matt GaetzI wouldn't trust anyone that is all loud yelling in a hearing that should be conducted with dignity, nor would I trust someone that would turn away from his ancestry who migrated here to denounce immigration for people looking for a safe haven to raise their family.
