John Lott, who was hired by the Justice Department in October as Senior Adviser for Research and Statistics at the Office of Justice Programs, has published a study concluding that as many as 368,000 “excess votes” tipped the election outcome to favor Joe Biden in two consequential battleground states.

“Increased fraud can take many forms: higher rates of filling out absentee ballots for people who hadn’t voted, dead people voting, ineligible people voting, or even payments to legally registered people for their votes,” reads the study’s summary. “The estimates here indicate that there were 70,000 to 79,000 ‘excess’ votes in Georgia and Pennsylvania.”

The best estimate shows an unusual 7.81% drop in Trump’s percentage of the absentee ballots for Fulton County alone of 11,350 votes, or over 80% of Biden’s vote lead in Georgia. The same approach is applied to Allegheny County in Pennsylvania for both absentee and provisional ballots. The estimated number of fraudulent votes from those two sources is about 55,270 votes.

The study aimed to quantify how large of a problem voter fraud and other election irregularities were in the 2020 election. “The process is applicable to other states where precinct-level data is available on voting by absentee and in-person voting,” explains the study’s introduction.

Lott concludes that the discrepancies in absentee voting is not likely to have been caused by a shift by Democrat to vote absentee because of the pandemic, as the study controlled for in-person voting.

“In layman’s terms, in precincts with alleged fraud, Trump’s proportion of absentee votes was depressed – even when such precincts had similar in-person Trump vote shares to their surrounding countries,” Lott explains. “The fact that the shift happens only in absentee ballots, and when a country line is crossed, is suspicious.”

“The precinct level estimates for Georgia and Pennsylvania indicate that vote fraud may account for Biden’s win in both states,” Lott concludes.

Lott also looked at voter turnout rates in Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, and Wisconsin, comparing counties where there was alleged fraud and those were there wasn’t.  When those states are included, Lott estimates that as many 289,000 fraudulent votes in the 2020 election were counted.

The study, called “A Simple Test for the Extent of Vote Fraud with Absentee Ballots in the 2020 Presidential Election: Georgia and Pennsylvania Data” was published on Tuesday.

Lott is considered a controversial figure by the left-wing media. He is the founder of the Crime Prevention Research Center, a pro-Second Amendment nonprofit, which has published studies concluding that communities with higher rates of gun ownership have lower rates of crime. Lott left the organization to serve in the Trump administration. Andrew Pollack, the father of Meadow Pollack, who was killed during Parkland shooting in 2018, has since taken over as president of the organization.

An independent appeals panel at London University’s School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) has recommended an investigation into allegations of a “toxic, antisemitic environment” at the school.

The appeal was made by Noah Lewis, an SOAS student who said he was profoundly affected by the antisemitic environment fostered by the school.

Lewis had won a previous judgment against SOAS, but appealed it because it did not address the issue of institutionalized antisemitism and a toxic atmosphere directed against Jewish students.

According to UK Lawyers for Israel, which assisted Lewis with his appeal, the student described a series of alleged incidents of antisemitic and anti-Zionist racism, including that: the Student Union (SU) consistently touted its commitment to the antisemitic BDS movement; all Jews on campus who were not anti-Israel were pejoratively labelled “Zionists”; Lewis’ proposed dissertation examining UN bias against Israel resulted in harassment from his peers, including being called a “Nazi”; students in SOAS refused to refer to Israel by name, instead calling it the “Zionist regime”; Lewis was told by another student that he shouldn’t be in SOAS due to his Zionist opinions; and that any factual defense of Israel was dismissed as “Zionist propaganda.”

Evidence was also presented from other Jewish SOAS students, who said they were “shocked by the amount of antisemitic attitudes on campus;” felt “unwelcome and uncomfortable at SOAS”; and called the attitude toward Israel “radically oppressive.”

One said, “The Student Union which represents the total student body, consistently fails to respect the identities of Jewish students on the same level as other minority groups.”

SOAS has reached a settlement with Lewis of 15,000 British pounds, after he asked for a refund of his tuition fees and expenses following his experience at the school.

The settlement will not affect any further investigation of institutionalized antisemitism at the school.

According to the minutes of a March 26th hearing, the panel stated that it had “considered the objection that it would be inappropriate for every complaint from any individual student to trigger a full scale and meticulous, perhaps external, investigation of the whole culture at the School and the Student Union. … But it also came to the view that in this instance, there was a prima facie case which did warrant such a full investigation.”

The panel recommended that the new investigation be conducted by a panel composed of people unconnected to SOAS or the SU, and should have the “confidence of the Jewish community.” It added that the selection process should involve the Union of Jewish Students (UJS) and the UK government’s Independent Antisemitism Advisor, as well as an academic specializing in contemporary antisemitism.

Jonathan Turner, executive director of UK Lawyers for Israel Charitable Trust, commented, “The panel grasped the nettle and has set a benchmark of best practice which should be followed in other cases where there is prima facie evidence of an antisemitic environment.”

“We congratulate Noah Lewis on pursuing the complaint and hope that other students who experience antisemitism at universities will now be encouraged to object,” he added.

Brooke Goldstein, executive director of The Lawfare Project, which was also involved in the appeal, said, “What happened to Noah Lewis should never be considered acceptable at a place of higher learning. The Lawfare Project is glad to see that, with this settlement and continued investigation, SOAS is working to right this wrong and ensure that its Jewish students and faculty members can feel safe and welcome on campus.”

In Hagen ( North Rhine-Westphalia), as in many other cities, there will be a ban on the burning of fireworks on public streets and squares on New Year’s Eve. However, it is already apparent that this ban will not be as easy to enforce as it has been imposed by politicians. At least not in Hagen and especially in the Altenhagen district. In the past few days, mainly young migrants and serial offenders have attacked policemen and rescue workers with fireworks.

But this is only the beginning, suspects police director Hubert Luhmann of the Hagen police. He assumes that members of the said group of people are by no means willing to accept the rules as binding. The contrary is to be expected. According to Luhmann, massive attacks are currently being planned against security, law enforcement and rescue forces. “There was even talk of a ‘war against the police’,” Luhmann says in a report in the newspaper Westfalenpost. “Their aim is to injure as many police officers as possible on New Year’s Eve. We have reliable statements in writing.”The police in Hagen will deploy more officers for the coming nights, a judge will be on duty on New Year’s Eve, and the public prosecutor’s office is also on standby. According to Luhmann, the aim is to take intensive offenders into custody in advance and keep them in custody on New Year’s Eve. However, it remains to be seen whether this will have any effect and whether it will be possible to stop the massive attacks on the police by mostly juvenile and young adult migrants that have happened in the past.

Trial begins against an alleged serial rapist in Dortmund!

Zubyr S. (23 years old) allegedly raped two girls, 11 and 13 years old at the time, in Dortmund in June and July. On Tuesday, the non-public trial starts at the Dortmund Regional Court.The case had caused a stir in the summer! The first crime allegedly took place in the night from June 19th to 20th, 2020. Here, the accused allegedly handed over a joint to the then eleven-year-old girl, who pretended to be a year older, in “Ali Park”. The girl, who had been using cannabis since she was ten years old, allegedly consumed the joint in the presence of the accused.When she noticed that the joint caused stronger effects than she had expected, she allegedly went to the accused’s flat along with him in order to spend the night there.

However, she allegedly had second thoughts at the front door. The accused then allegedly pulled the victim into his flat and raped her.

The 23-year-old had been remanded in custody after the first crime became known, but after a few days he was released on conditional release. At that time, the authorities did not see any danger of flight or repeating the crime.This is apparently how the second accused crime could have happened. On the afternoon of July the 24th, he allegedly lured a 13-year-old girl into a bicycle cellar under a pretext and forced her to have sex there against her will.In addition to two counts of sexual abuse of children, the prosecution accuses the 23-year-old of drug trafficking. 152.2 grammes of marijuana were found on him in small plastic bags.The accused originates from Afghanistan, but has a residence permit for Germany.

The accused originates from Afghanistan, but has a residence permit for Germany. He is said to be already known to the police in Dortmund for drug dealing and bodily harm. Joachim Stamp ( Free Democratic Party) had demanded tough measures against the accused after the trial. In an interview with the newspaper “Bild”, the Deputy Prime Minister of North Rhine-Westphalia said: “This disgusting perpetrator must not only be sentenced, but also deported directly to Afghanistan after his imprisonment. He must never again be allowed to be at large in Germany.”

A verdict is expected in February 2021.

At the heart of the dispute is a text evoking Islamism as a problem against which the Republic must fight.

After only a few months at the head of Saint-Denis (Seine-Saint-Denis), the Socialist Mayor Mathieu Hanotin has imposed his wishes: the Journal de Saint-Denis (JSD), which was created in 1992, will simply close down because the mayor has decided to withdraw its subsidies, explained Parisian daily Le Parisien.

The new mayor, who took over from a Communist municipality, announced during a meeting on December 17, that “the internal crisis at the Journal de Saint-Denis, which resulted in the director’s resignation, is the reason”. He explained that Yann Lalande, the editorial director, who had served for three years, had announced his departure on November 12.

Lalande had written in the weekly, after the shock wave generated by an editorial he wrote in the wake of the assassination of Samuel Paty in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine, that Islamism was a “fascist” project that the Republic had to fight.

Some leftist journalists had expressed their strong disagreement with the text, and Yann Lalande resigned.

Le Parisien noted that the JSD had been “a rich local information source” but Mathieu Hanotin wanted to silence this newspaper. A former member of the council said that the new Socialist mayor wanted “to take back control of all means of communication”. It was an attack “against the plurality of expression,” he added.

The city councilor explained that “alternative solutions will be found to inform citizens of what is happening in their city”. Ten employees of the editorial staff has been left jobless.
