* In one of the greatest public disinformation campaigns in American history, the "Transition Integrity Project" (TIP) released a 22-page report in August 2020 "war gaming" (their term) four election crisis scenarios.... The outcome of each TIP scenario results in street violence and political impasse.
* The political power resourced and generated from a document like the TIP report... introduces the threat of terror and street violence (to the general population) as a "normal" or "expected" outcome.
* Here is what you will see, hear and read in the next few weeks: "Yes, expect violence in the aftermath of the election, because now that is the new 'normal.' Trump made us do it...."
* Who is paying the bills for TIP and its affiliates?... No one does this for free, and someone (or some entity) is paying the bill. Who?
* What evidence is there of awareness and preparedness on the political Right to confront and counter the TIP (and other Leftists) and their plans to disrupt the election? Not much. Time is short. The Left's threat of violence and subversion of the election is real. How we respond is critical.

The political power generated from a document like the "Transition Integrity Project" report introduces the threat of terror and street violence as a "normal" or "expected" outcome of the upcoming presidential election. Here is what you will see, hear and read in the next few weeks: "Yes, expect violence in the aftermath of the election, because now that is the new 'normal.' Trump made us do it...."

How does one ensure their political allies are ideologically synchronized, and know exactly how to disrupt a presidential election? What about the "journalists" in the news media and the babblers on social media -- how does one get them onboard with the planned nationwide revolutionary disruption? Easy! Publish a report titled: "Preventing a Disrupted Presidential Election."

In one of the greatest public disinformation campaigns in American history -- the Left and their NeverTrumper allies (under the nom de guerre: "Transition Integrity Project") released a 22-page report in August 2020 "war gaming" (their term) four election crisis scenarios: 1. A decisive Trump win; 2. A decisive Biden win; 3. A narrow Biden win; and, 4. A period of extended uncertainty after the election. The outcome of each TIP scenario results in street violence and political impasse.

* Local businesses have been moving out. Greg Goodman, co-president of Portland's Downtown Development Group recently wrote in a letter to Mayor Ted Wheeler and the city council that the number of businesses moving out of the city "is like nothing I have seen in 42 years of doing business in downtown". Goodman said that the businesses leaving included Daimler Chrysler, Air B&B, Banana Republic and Microsoft, and argued that their departure "does have most everything to do with the lawlessness you are endorsing downtown."
* "I would encourage each of you to walk around downtown Portland in the morning. You aren't sweeping the streets, needles are all over the place, garbage cans are broken and left open, glass from car windows that have been broken out is all over the streets, parks are strewn with litter... You are willfully neglecting your duties as elected officials to keep our city safe and clean." — Greg Goodman, in a letter to Portland's Mayor Ted Wheeler and the city council.
* One influential national politician, however, promised with a smile that the "protests" are "not going to stop... They're not going to stop before election day in November and they're not going to stop after election day.... They're not going to let up and they should not..."
* America could indeed be "transformed," but if safe and successful cities keep being transformed into places of crime-ridden lawlessness, is that what Americans want?

America could indeed be "transformed," but if safe and successful cities keep being transformed into places of crime-ridden lawlessness, is that what Americans want?

At least 13 US cities "have cut funding from police department budgets or decreased officer numbers with several more in the process," according to a recent report by Forbes. Austin, Texas, one of the recent additions to the list of cities defunding police, cut $150 million, nearly a third of its police budget.

Austin joined a list of major cities that have already voted to defund police. New York and Los Angeles made cuts mere weeks after the current wave of protests began, and in Seattle, the first black police chief of the city, Carmen Best, resigned after the city council "voted to strip the police department of some resources, including cutting around 100 jobs."

Several cities however, voted in recent months to increase funding for their police departments, according to a July report by the Wall Street Journal:
