More from Government
About 3 weeks ago I contacted some folks in our government and wrote up a 33 pg rough draft outlining what I believed was taking place based on Data driving the narrative. For those that aren't sure how data science works, one takes raw data and attempts to find useful actionable
If I had a vision that outlined how a foreign actor killed over 50 percent of the young men in this Nation and the young girls were sold into slavery and there was only a 1 in 1000 chance I was correct, would it be worth sharing? Even if it meant no one would ever read my tweets

🔷 Rev. Raphael Warnock has become the first Democrat to win a Georgia Senate race in 20 years
The politician spoke to voters via MSNBC this morning
https://t.co/T9oJN2fjmo
Warnock is a pastor at the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta where civil rights leader Martin Luther King once preached.
He will become Georgia's first Black senator
This blue victory gives the Democrats the chance to regain control of the Senate for at least the first two years of the Biden presidency
"With Biden proposing to reverse President Donald Trump's tax cut, increase the minimum wage, and strengthen oversight on various industries, some might argue that his agenda is not particularly market-friendly," says Vasu Menon, investment strategy director at OCBC Bank

NEW: the Georgia House Special Committee on Election Integrity is meeting at 3 this afternoon and just added HB 531 - a 48 page omnibus elections bill that proposes a *lot* of changes. #gapol
Here's the text:
First, it would ban county elections offices from receiving outside funding to run elections.
This, after CTCL and Schwarzenegger gave money to both D and R counties in 2020 to help with pandemic.
(although I wonder if the county gov't could take the grant, then disburse?)
Next, it outlines ways that poll workers can serve adjacent counties (currently, you can only work in your county of residence)
This section mirrors an SOS-backed bill from 2020 that would require more machines, more poll workers or splitting up precincts if a 2,000+ person precinct has lines of more than an hour.
More on that proposal: https://t.co/7BfIcrI81q
This is an anti-Fulton County mobile voting bus section
(although I still believe that it's using the wrong code section since the busses are for *early* voting and fall under 21-2-382)

Great article from @AsheSchow. I lived thru the 'Satanic Panic' of the 1980's/early 1990's asking myself "Has eveyrbody lost their GODDAMN MINDS?!"
The 3 big things that made the 1980's/early 1990's surreal for me.
1) Satanic Panic - satanism in the day cares ahhhh!
2) "Repressed memory" syndrome
3) Facilitated Communication [FC]
All 3 led to massive abuse.
"Therapists" -and I use the term to describe these quacks loosely - would hypnotize people & convince they they were 'reliving' past memories of Mom & Dad killing babies in Satanic rituals in the basement while they were growing up.
Other 'therapists' would badger kids until they invented stories about watching alligators eat babies dropped into a lake from a hot air balloon. Kids would deny anything happened for hours until the therapist 'broke through' and 'found' the 'truth'.
FC was a movement that started with the claim severely handicapped individuals were able to 'type' legible sentences & communicate if a 'helper' guided their hands over a keyboard.
For three years I have wanted to write an article on moral panics. I have collected anecdotes and similarities between today\u2019s moral panic and those of the past - particularly the Satanic Panic of the 80s.
