CSN - Citizen Voice Bulletin - 11/17/2022
__
As America moves beyond “Election Day” into some much needed holiday relief, there remains a great deal of confusion, denial, and dismay over the outcome of many of the political contests. As mentioned in Tuesday’s edition, some outcomes are illusions of elections, much more likely selections rather than the results of a process of free choice. Pundits and prognosticators are still pontificating and pointing fingers at those easy targets for blame. In such circumstances, as each side claims some of the crumbs of victory, often fairness and justice are ignored. Party and agenda often edges out or obliterates entirely the will of the people.
Tragically, until the people demand action and not mere words or excuses, from those they will elect, not much action will get done. Especially, if those who are elected are very slick-tongued and seductively persuasive, not much will get done unless they are do-ers and not just talkers. It is extremely telling that a good majority of people take issue with President Trump’s manner of communicating rather than what he accomplished while in office. Rather than taking issue with those who promise the world, yet deliver nothing, idiots take issue with words. Is it words and not deeds that matter? Americans must regain their sense of priorities (on many levels).
Today’s edition, and likely all future editions, will be abbreviated due to the disabling attack on our website. Since we are not able to safely link back to a broken site, we cannot provide the five original articles from the writers in our network as we normally do in the Thursday edition. Today there are two articles again. The first one is from Jim Bratten, who seems to be back in the flow of putting out his Indiana-based: Hoosier Patriots Monday Morning Newswire. His article is titled, “A ‘Blame Game’ Collapses” and deals with the pointing of fingers in the aftermath of the recent election. He rightly assesses, as have others, the real “elephant in the room.”
We also have a second article from Jack Gleason, entitled, “There is No Honor Among Thieves.” Gleason covers a great deal of territory in his brief article, as he usually does, but he has a very serious conclusion. I hope readers will still read his article to grasp the individual points he is making, but his essential premise is valid: “Without fair elections we are no better than medieval serfs, being told by our masters how to conduct every aspect of our lives.” His article was originally posted in the Canada Free Press: There is No Honor Among Thieves
Again today, there are a number of additional items that need to be covered, so let’s get to them as well. As mentioned in previous editions, our Citizen Sentinels Network website was attacked multiple times, and it is time to deal with it and decide the best way to proceed. Despite attempts to fix it, there is no guarantee it will not again be attacked in the future. So, it has been decided that the Citizen Voice will be restructured so as to refocus our communication endeavors so we are not dependent upon the website. A year ago, Citizen Voice migrated to Substack and even though we lost “listed readers” we seem to have been able to retain loyal readers.
So, we will proceed to post on Substack for the sake of those who loyally read Citizen Voice, but it will likely be reduced from three down to two weekly postings. But, that is still being decided, and will not be totally clear until after the Chrtistmas holiday. However, the week of Thanksgiving and the week of Christmas, we will only have two editions that we will distribute. However, there is a new project unfolding the week of Thanksgiving.
As announced previously, the LightWing Messages are going live! These messages will be open to a live discussion on a Zoom call next Wednesday - the day before Thanksgiving, and it will be about the true Thanksgiving based on a message that will be in the LIghtWing Messages in next Sunday’s edition. If readers would like to share more deeply about the messages and to learn more readily how to apply the written words to real life, we are offering this as an opportunity to test whether readers are interested to connect via Zoom.
Thus this is a formal announcement that a link will be made available to those who request if. Already some readers have made such a request to be sent the link to the call that will be next Wednesday at 4:30 PST. Even after the Thanksgiving holiday, we will offer the Zoom call to see if people are interested in such a live program.
Finally, deeper considerations and determination of a new improved Citizen Sentinels Network will be made over the holiday season. We do ask you to pray for our clarity of purpose in moving into 2023.
Again, our continuing hope is that more Americans would awaken to and embrace the self- evident truths before them in such a time as this so they can fight back in the way they may are called to help restore the Republic. More Americans should be awakened! If you believe that the news and views in the Citizens Voice could help others who might value the messages as well, or with those who may need renewed enlightenment, pass each edition on by simply forwarding the email. Our continuing hope is that the news and views in the Citizens Voice could stimulate our readers’ thinking, but also motivate them to use any relevant information to make intelligent decisions as we move forward into the battle for the soul of America.
A ‘Blame Game’ Collapses
By Jim Bratten – 11/14/22
The “blame game” narrative at Fox News and other media outlets has begun to collapse under specious innuendo and baseless accusations. In particular, the positions of Rupert Murdoch and Fox leadership have fallen apart: “Trump’s drag on the party with his narrative...” is mere propaganda. Instead, Democrat Media dwells on Trump’s tweets and off-handed comments – the fluff – not substance and policy accomplishments.
Democrat Media and anti-Trump activists are busy worsening the GOP divide, driving a wedge deeper with their constant slams on Trump as the culprit in Republican Party division. But he’s not. Trump divided the Republican Party in 2015 when he announced for the presidency.
Trump created brands – MAGA and America First – that redefined the GOP (the voters, not the establishment party members). Since then, he’s taken flak for his numerous direct hits over the targets, for over six years, and is still fighting for conservatives – We the People – those Americans who have been ignored by the GOP establishment since Ronald Reagan.
The Republican Establishment continues in their attempt to destroy Donald Trump, now hoping Ron DeSantis will help take him down. An obvious question is this: Why would some GOP establishment mega-donors, who gave millions in support of Barack Obama in 2008, now pledge support for DeSantis if he runs for president in 2024? And these donors have no problem with the fact that Trump and his family are still under attack; his home pillaged and his Fourth Amendment privacy violated. They simply want him gone because he threatens their status quo and doesn’t owe them anything.
One senator strongly blames Republican leadership for the weak election performance, not Donald Trump. Republican Senator from Missouri Josh Hawley spoke up, as RealClear Politics reported: “Josh Hawley Blasts GOP Leadership for Midterm Showing.” Hawley stated that “Republicans just said, ‘Well, the other side sucks, and Biden sucks.’ Well, no doubt! But it’s pretty hard to convince folks, particularly independent ones who don’t tend to trust the process much, to vote for you, if you don’t have something affirmative to say and offer... I lay that at the feet of the Washington establishment that set the tone for these races. They failed to offer that kind of vision.”
Obviously aimed at the Republican Minority Leader in the Senate, Marco Rubio tweeted on Nov. 11: “The Senate GOP leadership vote next week should be postponed... First, we need to make sure that those who want to lead us are genuinely committed to fighting for the priorities & values of the working Americans (of every background) who gave us big wins in states like #Florida”
Republican Senators Rick Scott (FL), Mike Lee (UT), and Ron Johnson (WI) heartily agree with Rubio. When the Democrats (now victorious in keeping the Senate with the Laxalt loss in Nevada) won’t be voting on their party leadership in the Senate until early December, why are Republicans planning on voting for leadership this week? Rubio is correct.
But these Republican senators are tiptoeing around the elephant in the room. In an article by Seamus Brennan at AMAC (Association of Mature American Citizens) titled, “The Absurdity of the Blame Trump Campaign,” that elephant was exposed: “...the fact is that McConnell failed to use his power over the past two years to shape the political terrain in ways that would support an overwhelming Republican victory. Even worse, he actively undermined Republican candidates at critical junctures...
“Time and time again, the Senate Minority Leader has proved fundamentally unserious about opposing the overreaches of the radical left... If establishment Republicans believed that the border crisis was the existential national security disaster they claimed in their speeches, nothing about McConnell’s actions in the Senate would suggest they actually believed it.”
They don’t; that’s why the Republican Establishment is a roadblock to decisively defeating Marxist Democrats.
As Ed Feulner, former president of The Heritage Foundation, wrote on Aug. 7, 2017, during the early months of the Trump administration: “We are seven months into a new term and Congress has yet to vote on major policy reforms. With control of the White House and Congress, what could possibly be standing in the way of making... improvements to health care, tax reform, and national security?
“The answer is the Republican Establishment.
“The biggest obstacle that Republicans face comes from within their own party, in the form of inflexible moderates who want nothing more than the status quo.”
Trump is not to blame for most losses last week. It’s the Republican Establishment.

There is No Honor Among Thieves
By Jack Gleason —— Bio and Archives--November 11, 2022
Without fair elections we are no better than medieval serfs, being told by our masters how to conduct every aspect of our lives
The American public has been polled about the 2020 election and only 25% were willing to express confidence that it was “fair and honest.” That means the remaining 75% feel it was stolen, had no opinion, or were unwilling to respond.
The current election is looking even more corrupt, if that’s possible. At this moment, there are fences and barricades around the election counting offices in Maricopa County, Arizona.
And Sheriff’s deputies on the roof. (Picture above)
What are they hiding?
What are they afraid of? What are they hiding?
The Gateway Pundit has exposed scores of irregularities that call the entire electoral process into question. Who disabled 20-30% of the tabulators in the Republican stronghold of Maricopa County? Who made sure there was a shortage of ink in 20% of their printers?
What has happened to the many thousands of provisional ballots that were dropped into unsecured boxes to be “counted later?” Who told workers to hand out sharpies again that are known not to be readable by the scanners?
What happened to the cameras in Washoe County Nevada? How come there are repeated “ballot dumps” late at night where the Democrat candidate gets 100% of the vote?
But there’s a flaw in the Democrat plan that is worth discussion. The amount of coordination involved in nationwide electoral corruption, and the number of people needed to carry out each scheme, is immense. In just this one tabulation center in Arizona there are probably over 100 workers, all of whom know that illegal activities are going on.
The problem is that when it comes to corruption, there is no honor among thieves
The problem is that when it comes to corruption, there is no honor among thieves. While some cheaters are all for the Democrat cause and are trying to “save the planet” or “rid the world of the evil Orange Man,” most do the cheating because they are paid or coerced. At some point they realize that they know too much. If they are arrested they’ll spill the beans, but many may fear their leadership knows the risk of having too many people who know the truth.
We’ve seen lots of mysterious deaths labeled as accidents in the political world. If the media is unwilling to look into the circumstances and the authorities squash the investigations, you end up with a perfect crime.
Now that the Republicans are close to winning the House of Representatives, they will finally have subpoena power to compel witnesses to testify. This might explain why the Democrats are so willing to do anything to cheat in the elections this time around.
Already dozens of people from the FBI alone have come forward as whistleblowers to Senator Chuck Grassley. Who else is in contact with him and other Republican leaders preferring to save their own skins rather than doing time in prison while the people who are pulling the strings are getting away scot-free?
When the Republicans take power in the House (and possibly even the Senate) they need to embark on a campaign to encourage whistle-blowers at all levels to come forward with what they know. Systems can be set up to protect them and their families from physical harm and free them from threats of blackmail. Republican governors need to follow the lead of Florida and streamline the voting process and restore the safeguards that have worked so well in the past.
Typical that the Democrats claim to be “protecting democracy”
It’s typical that the Democrats claim to be “protecting democracy” while all of their election changes serve to make cheating easier and easier – and more and more undetectable.
And whenever there is a close race, the ballots that appear at the end of the counting seem to almost always favor the Democrat candidate.
The last irony is that Democrats have suffered from vote cheating in their own primaries. The “connected candidates” like Obama and Hillary won close races while upstarts like Bernie Sanders lost out.
How would Democrats like a world where the person they vote for in their primary is tanked by their leadership and then pushed over the general election finish line with hundreds of millions of PAC dollars and shenanigans at ballot counting time?
Voter fraud is an issue that affects ALL Americans of all races and religions. Without fair elections we are no better than medieval serfs, being told by our masters how to conduct every aspect of our lives.

We continue to urge citizens to take ownership of the responsibility to keep the Republic!
Remember, an educated and enlightened citizenry is vital for our future. As it has been written:
“Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.” Proverbs 29:18 - KJV
The Citizens Voice provides information that the mainstream media hopes people don’t receive. Forward these newsletters to your friends and let them witness, first hand, that there is more than one side to a story. Then they will begin to understand the peril that our nation is in and be able to make informed decisions.
We are truly thankful for all of our readers who have chosen to assist our efforts in bringing the information and words of encouragement to all Americans we can possibly reach. We are truly grateful for the generous donations from our fellow Citizen Sentinels. It helps us keep going as a truly volunteer effort. Thank you so very much for whatever can be given.
"If ever a time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin." ~ Samuel Adams, 1776
Ownership of our Republic is now the fight of our time! Keeping our Republic depends upon the genuine sense of ownership of the Land of the Free. Either this is our country, or it will belong to those who are actively seeking to take it from us. It is the same mentality that inspired someone long ago to express the sentiment that “All it takes for evil to triumph is that good people do nothing.” Efforts to take responsibility for keeping this nation a free Republic are organically occurring right now all across the nation.
As a Canadian, I applauded your great nation, without you, God knows what would happen to Canada. I always said to my husband that America sure knows how to keep their identity.
This article you have is so true, we have the same in Canada, we have the Lieberals, and the Conservatives...these days you can't tell them apart.! God help us! really.
