X22 Reports for December 3 & SerialBrain2 Analyses of QAnon Drops [videos] ~ December 3, 2018


Editor’s Note: Starship Earth continues to bring us the most complete news of cabal-oriented failure from the Alternative Media. Please look at the video’s below as evidence of the rats of the deep state scurrying to escape, but…there IS no escape!

his is a war for the consciousness of humanity that has already been won by the Light. It’s all a matter of time now, for the inevitable shift of consciousness in to 5D to occur. In the meantime, pay attention to your heart, keep your head down, watch the news, and…

InJoy!

For anyone new to the blog, many of us find that Dave at the X22 Report and one going by the handle ‘SerialBrain2’ provide some of the best analyses of current events available to us. Nothing is what it seems. It’s far more complex and convoluted than most people know, and often things are the exact opposite of what they appear. As Dave often says, “think mirror”.

These adept interpreters provide perspective and much food for thought.

If you aren’t aware that there are multiple factions/secret societies vying for control on our planet, you may not understand their numerology and symbology—and that’s where our interpreters come in.

Many of us are struggling to follow the 5D chess game unfolding and we appreciate the assistance, because we know nothing happens by accident.  ~ BP

After Getting Flu Shot, New York State Senator Is Sick For Two Weeks, Then Dies ~ November 27, 2018


I don’t know what we have to do to get the message across to the public about vaccinations. Nurses who refused them were shamed, ostracized or fired, doctors who revealed their personal research had their careers destroyed or were “suicided”, a CDC whistleblower warned us… even President Trump warned us that vaccines don’t work.

It’s not rocket science, people, and frankly, I’m tired of telling the story.

Influenza isn’t often lethal unless a weakened body gets pneumonia as a result, but flu shots are known to kill people of all ages; particularly those with weaker immune systems, such as the very young or the elderly. They contain numerous nasty ingredients, at least some of which are known to be dangerous to the Human body.

The media can spin it till the cows come home, but we have all the data we need to understand there are massive risks involved with vaccines and oddly enough, the data does not support the notion that flu shots prevent the flu, or that whooping cough vaccines prevent whooping cough. In fact, the contrary may be expected.

If you GET a flu shot, you’re likely to GET the flu—or worse. If a child GETS a whooping cough vaccine, they might very well GET whooping cough. Real life stories tell the tale. (case in point: Salt Lake City, Utah students contracting pertussis after vaccinations)

Get vaccinations at your own peril. It’s like Russian roulette. Do you feel lucky?  ~ BP

What’s Happening On Our Planet—And Why: Two Stories for November 27, 2018 [video] ~ November 27, 2018


Our comms are back online, thanks to the persistence and expertise of Number One, after some anomalous connectivity issues with the web host; kind of like the anomalous telephone issues with Century Link which prompted us to terminate our land line this week and go cellular with another carrier. There’s fibre-optic in our community now—but “not for us”—an attitude that goes hand in hand with our sporadic, antiquated DSL Internet—and now I have to learn how to use my flip phone.

It’s absurd and infuriating, but nothing compared to the challenges others are experiencing in America, which is not the rich, healthy, vibrant place many believe it to be as you’ll see below. In fact, America is rapidly degrading to cesspool status and most Americans don’t see the rapid acceleration to red line.

Sometimes there is so much going on in volatile areas like California and the US/Mexican border that we miss important headlines from other places.

Story Number One:

Flint, Michigan Government Faked Water Safety Tests for Lead: The People are Sick

Residents of Flint, Michigan are still living with high levels of lead in their water despite testing and government declarations that the water is safe—and the people are sick.

We learn in the video below that an environmental agency corrupted the water testing done. The mainstream media is not forthcoming with this information from a boots on the ground group of investigative journalists. Jordan Chariton of StatusCoup.com shares the results of his team’s canvassing of hundreds of residents’ homes. They can’t get any “news agencies” to run with it and one that said they would backed out suddenly.

Flint is a community comprising 57 per cent blacks, 42 per cent of residents fall into the poverty category, and politicians talk about the problem but do nothing but conduct falsified water tests.

You will see some footage below from an upcoming documentary, “The Flushing of Flint” and these journalists tell us there are stiff fees involved for filing Freedom of Information (FOIA) requests. Go figure.

Many Flint residents are too poor to buy water and many don’t even have cars to go and pick up donated water at a church or from a store so they have to drink tap water. The victims in the world are so often the poor.

The toxic municipal water in Flint is an appalling situation that must be resolved and fast because it is having myriad serious health implications for residents yet their representatives in Washington don’t appear to care. It’s outrageous.

Unfortunately, the Trump administration is also implicated for not resolving this issue but how much can one President do? One crisis doesn’t get resolved before the next comes along, and that’s the way the globalists like it. The people of Florida and the Carolinas are still struggling to put their lives back together after the autumn flooding and Hurricane Michael with little assistance from FEMA.

The People of these communities are the ones in the cross-hairs, while the lamestream media makes it appear that Trump and his administration (and family) are the problem.

If everyone understood the real issues on this planet perhaps they wouldn’t be so apt to point fingers at the President. He’s not the one running things—yet—but he HAS made significant inroads toward freedom and prosperity and improved international relations.

It will be a long road to completely eradicate the vermin in Washington and their state-level handmaids, however. They have replicated counterparts in nearly every nation and the global cleanup is in the critical phases.

Flint: Government Caught Faking Water Tests


Most of us wouldn’t defend anyone who enables the ongoing terror on our planet, but there are those who are hell-bent on war, destruction, murder, chaos and suffering. That is the deep state. Most don’t understand that they infiltrate Washington and most other governments. The scale is astounding.

How do you execute your agenda if a disruptive figure like the President of the USA is in power and works against you? You feed them bad information to manipulate them.

President Trump has never stopped routing out enemies within his administration but there are thousands of people in the government from the old, corrupt administrations who are feverishly working against him.

The official propaganda arm of the old guard—the MSM or mainstream media, corporate media, legacy media—what ever you want to call them, are public enemy number one and Trump has told us so at every rally and many press conferences. What part of “enemy of the people” don’t we understand? CNN comprises deep state operatives, not journalists. In truth, the fake news network is vast and all-encompassing.

Traitors of Humanity lurk around every corner on this planet until they are removed permanently; a gargantuan task because they don’t want to lose the power they have enjoyed to subjugate Humans for their personal gain for centuries.

The problems ARE entirely preventable in a world where sane people understand the situation and strive to remove those constantly placing roadblocks to stop us from ending the insanity and the carnage. The problem is, too many people don’t understand who the enemy is.

UNICEF, Save the Children, the Red Cross… these organizations set up to provide aid do little; they are infiltrated by the globalists, too; the funds confiscated by the United Nations and other corrupt bodies. We can’t trust Doctors Without Borders, either. Don’t waste your money and support the enemy.

The controllers have deceived the world endlessly with subterfuge, shell games, assassinations and regime changes, provoked wars, and lies disseminated by their fake media. It’s easy to see who the enemies of the war mongers are because they attack them at every turn and broadcast lies intended to sway public opinion. Often they accuse their enemies of doing what they, themselves, have done or are doing. That is their modus operandi, and their ultimate goal is to remove President Trump—by assassination, impeachment or any means possible.

The mainstream media is not neutral about anything because they were created by the globalists and operate according to an agenda, and it is this utter abandonment of fair, unbiased reporting that forced citizen journalism and the independent media to spring into action.

What can an awakened denizen of Earth do to help? That is a recurring question on the minds of people of a mind to take positive actions, and a good place to start would be to support President Trump because despite how it may appear, he and his patriots are draining the swamp the people of Earth have been swimming in and weren’t even aware.

You might also support the members of the new media that strive to inform and alert Americans and the world to the true status of the war against the New World Order and their heinous crimes.

The soldiers of the dark cabal running the world are now showing their hands in their desperation to prevent the President and other patriots from wrenching control from them once and for all. The masks are dropping, and if you’re paying attention you can see the psychopaths in plain view. They have the blood of every nation on their hands.

Their time is up, and their total demise near but don’t expect a painless transition. It is perhaps more complicated now than ever.  ~ BP

Story Number Two:

At least 85,000 child deaths in Yemen highlight Saudi-US war crimes

A new estimate by the aid agency Save the Children that 85,000 children have died of hunger in Yemen since Saudi Arabia’s US-backed bombings of the country began in 2015 underscores the criminal character of Washington’s sponsorship of this horrific slaughter.

The charity said 85,000 was a conservative estimate of how many children under the age of five had starved between April 2015, when the Saudi regime began its air war, and October this year. It is difficult to get an exact number of deaths. According to aid workers, many go unreported because only half of Yemen’s health facilities are functioning and many people are too poor to access the ones that remain open.

Backed by the Obama administration, Saudi Arabia intervened in Yemen’s civil war in 2015 to fight Shiite rebels allegedly backed by the Saudi ruling elite’s regional rival, Iran. The brutal offensive has become a virtual proxy war by the US against Iran. The Pentagon has supplied aerial refuelling for Saudi bombers, naval support for a blockade of the port city of Hodeidah and intelligence assistance for selecting targets.

Save the Children said it based its figures on mortality rates for untreated cases of Severe Acute Malnutrition in infant children from data compiled by the UN. The charity warned that, based on historical studies, if acute malnutrition is left untreated, around 20–30 percent of children will die each year.

“For every child killed by bombs and bullets, dozens are starving to death—and it’s entirely preventable,” Tamer Kirolos, Save the Children’s country director in Yemen said. “Children who die in this way suffer immensely as their vital organ functions slow down and eventually stop.

“Their immune systems are so weak they are more prone to infections with some too frail to even cry. Parents are having to witness their children wasting away, unable to do anything about it.”

The Red Sea port of Hodeidah, the entry point for some 80 percent of urgently needed food supplies, medicines and aid into Yemen, has been under blockade since last year. Save the Children said it had been forced to bring aid for the north of the country through the southern port of Aden, significantly slowing deliveries.

Despite supposed US-supported ceasefire offers from the Saudi monarchy, the charity also reported a “dramatic increase” in air strikes. “In the past few weeks there have been hundreds of air strikes in and around Hodeidah, endangering the lives of an estimated 150,000 children still trapped in the city.” Kirolos stated. “Save the Children is calling for an immediate end to the fighting so no more lives are lost.”

Far from ending the slaughter, the US-backed forces are taking it to an horrific new level. Earlier this month, the Saudi-led coalition reported that it had mobilised some 30,000 troops to surround Hodeidah. The troops include Emirati and Sudanese regulars, Al Qaeda militiamen and Yemeni mercenaries.

The port city is being subjected to non-stop bombardment from both the air and sea. Save the Children earlier reported that its staff counted some 100 airstrikes during one weekend, a five-fold increase compared to the first week in October.

In addition, Saudi Arabia has imposed economic sanctions and blockades on Yemen, contributing to the world’s gravest humanitarian crisis. The UN warned recently that 14 million people could soon be on the brink of starvation.

The World Health Organisation recently said nearly 10,000 people, mostly civilians, had been killed in the war. Aid groups believe the death toll may be five times higher. According to the UN, the fighting and blockades had also left 22 million people in need of humanitarian aid, and led to a cholera outbreak that has affected 1.2 million people.

In a statement on Tuesday, President Trump blatantly defended Saudi Arabia’s bloody onslaught, accusing Iran of being “responsible for a bloody proxy war against Saudi Arabia in Yemen,” while “Saudi Arabia would gladly withdraw from Yemen if the Iranians would agree to leave.”

These comments point to the fraud of an announcement the next day by US Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis that peace talks to end the war would begin next month in Sweden. Mattis could provide no dates or details. If the proposed meeting proceeds, the real purpose will be to blame Iran for the bloodbath, demand an immediate end to Iranian support for the Houthi rebels and create a pretext to continue the siege of Hodeidah.

This week, Trump reinforced Washington’s partnership with the Saudi regime by touting a huge Saudi arms purchase and dismissing the evidence that the kingdom’s de facto ruler, Prince Mohammed bin Salman, ordered the killing of the dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

Full Fulford Geopolitical Update for October 23, 2018 ~ October 25, 2018


October 23, 2018

by Benjamin Fulford

The battle raging at the highest levels of world power is reaching a climax of sorts, with an ongoing operation to take down the governments of Israel and Saudi Arabia and end their control of the petrodollar system, multiple sources agree.  The so-called murder of Nazi Muslim Brotherhood agent and Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi at the Saudi Arabian consulate in Turkey was staged to provide cover for this ongoing operation, the sources add.

“This is all about the financial survival of certain countries (Israel, Saudi Arabia, and the bankrupt U.S. Corporation),” a CIA source explained.

The overall story as told by CIA, Mossad, Japanese intelligence, and Pentagon sources is as follows:  Saudi Crown Prince and de facto head of state Mohammad bin Salman (MBS) was shot and killed in April and replaced with a body double.  The people controlling the body double then had their funds frozen in retaliation, with the Khashoggi incident as cover.  Now, the satanic Khazarian governments of Israel and Saudi Arabia are fighting for their lives.

So the real reason all the big corporations and government ministers cancelled their planned visits to this week’s “Saudi Arabian Davos” investment forum is because the flow of money they were hoping would be poured in their direction has been cut off.

“The global boycott of Saudi Arabia escalates, as Goldman Sachs is forced to stop sending Dina Powell and Germany’s Deutsche Bank, and Japanese banks MUFG and Mizuho join the party,” was how Pentagon sources described the situation.

“This appears to be a plan to end the petrodollar, the Israeli-Saudi axis of evil, and the fountainhead of terrorism, as many things converge to collapse the old financial system so the new Quantum Financial System and Global Currency Reset can be launched,” the sources add.

Confirmation of this can be found in reports that U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin cancelled his planned visit to the Saudi investment forum and will now instead visit Saudi Arabia to attend a “terrorist financing” meeting.

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/21/us/politics/steven-mnuchin-saudi-arabia-khashoggi.html

CIA sources also say “Khazarian war criminal Netanyahu is about to take the fall for something big that he is involved with.  The U.S. is pulling the plug.  Too much pressure is being put on Trump and others very close to him.”  We assume this will be Netanyahu’s involvement with the 9/11 and Fukushima mass murder terror attacks.

We will get back to the Saudi Arabian troubles later in this report, but first we need to explain why the situation in Japan, North Korea, and China is the ultimate reason for the chaos in the Middle East.  Members of the cabinet of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and Manchu royals both contacted the White Dragon Society (WDS) last week to explain what was really going on.  In essence, the Bank of International Settlements (BIS), the central bank for central banks, was given strong warnings to cut off the Zionist/Satanic Rothschild family “or else,” the sources say.

As a result, the control of the existing global financial system has changed hands.  The Manchu royals say the Rothschilds never controlled more than 8% of the world’s gold.  Now the Asian secret societies and the U.S. military-industrial complex have agreed to …

… cut off the Zionists’ control of the financial system.  The West will, in exchange, be given approximately $40 trillion in gold-backed bonds to finance major projects to clean up the planet and create new ecosystems in desert, arctic, and oceanic dead zones, among other things, the sources say.  The U.S. military will be turned into a planetary protection force, a big improvement from its current status as enforcer for large Zionist-controlled corporations, they say.

An early first step in this process will be an announcement later this week by Japan’s Abe and Chinese President Xi Jinping that the two nations will set up a major joint fund, according to an Abe cabinet source.  This fund will be dedicated to cleaning up the environment and dealing with aging societies and low birth rates, the source says.  The U.S. military government has agreed not to interfere with this activity, he adds.

However, a lot of fighting still remains to be done before the West also can start this sort of work in earnest, so let us return to the current chaotic situation in the West.

Here, “Germany suspending arms sales may give Trump cover to do the same, and may even lead to a UN arms embargo of Saudi Arabia and then Israel,” Pentagon sources say.  The U.S. military-industrial complex will be more than compensated for any losses resulting from such an embargo, WDS sources say.

Of course, the Khazarians are not taking this lying down, as can be seen in a huge push against the entire Khashoggi psy-op.  For example, as Russia Today noted, “Riyadh doesn’t know how Khashoggi was killed or where his body is, Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir told Fox News, just one day after his country claimed the journalist was killed in a “fistfight” inside the consulate in Istanbul.”
https://www.rt.com/news/441878-saudis-killed-journalist-mistake/

Also, the Khazarian-controlled media is putting out the story that their man MBS is still fully in control of the situation there.  However, a member of Abe’s cabinet called MBS’s long-time lawyer and constant companion to confirm that he was shot twice in the head in April and died instantly.

CIA sources concurred, saying:

“Yes, Bin Salman was taken out.  A Khazarian Zionist-controlled double was put in his place.  The real Bin Salman was causing too much upheaval for the powers that be.  The real MBS purchasing the Leonardo da Vinci painting Salvator Mundi for $450 million did not go over well with the Zionist cabal, as the purchase was made right after the Riyadh Ritz Carlton Hotel shakedown of the corrupt Saudi billionaires who worked directly with/for the Khazarian Zionists.  By purchasing the painting, MBS was sending a very direct signal—the real meaning of which only the Zionists would understand.”

Meanwhile, both U.S. military intelligence and Canadian intelligence sources warned that the Khazarians (“lizards”) were going to bring out some hidden technology to try to manipulate public opinion using holograms and “voices.”  Here is what the Canadian source said:

”Yes, the lizards do not want to lose “the Fed,” and yes, they have the tech to make Jesus or whoever they want to talk to you in your head.  Not only that—Jesus or whoever will appear in front of you to give you a personal message as well.  The only problem with this tech is that the older ‘real pot,’ naturally grown, prevented this tech from working.  This is the reason it was outlawed many years ago, and who knows what Monsanto and Bayer are doing to the pot crops now.  Remember that the Earth is in ‘lockdown,’ so they (the lizards) can’t get off the planet and no one can get in to ‘pick them up.’  No country wants to loan money to the USA Corp.  China holds so much land as collateral across America, it’s unreal.  If the people only knew.  Let the chess game continue.”

We can confirm from a pot farmer nephew in Canada that yes indeed, even though Canada has legalized pot, they are trying very hard to make sure that only strains that make you dumber are available.

In any case, a retired U.S. military officer said there was widespread agreement among the ranks that it was time to simply hunt down and kill all the Khazarian gangsters, saying, “The Cabal has been using National Security Findings (NSFs) for many years against all their enemies, so perhaps like treatment should now be directed against them by the USN.  It is time for the USN to put its foot down and start sanctioning Cabal kingpins who love to pedophile little kids, then torture them and sacrifice them to Baal for more satanic power.”

Apart from Israel, Saudi Arabia, and parts of the U.S., the other major Khazarian stronghold that is about to be taken down is the Ukraine.  The move to take the control of the 12,000 Ukrainian Orthodox Churches away from the Russian Orthodox Church is the last straw that will provoke Russia into reasserting control there, multiple sources agree.

Here is what a CIA source had to regarding last week’s shootout by an “MKUltra-controlled” 18-year-old student at Kerch Polytech College, Crimea:

“1)  He had an accomplice.  Putin and the FSB know who it is.
2)  This was orchestrated by [Ukrainian President] Porky (Poroshenko) with the green light given from [former U.S. Vice President Joe] Biden.

Putin has already made up his mind;  Ukraine will come back to mother Russia and the neo-Nazis will be neutralized.  Maybe not in that order.”

We tried to contact Russian sources through multiple routes about the reported coup attempt against Vladimir Putin and the situation in the Ukraine etc., but met with a complete wall of silence.  This sort of communications cutoff most likely means that some kind of military action is imminent.

In a development possibly related to this, Japanese intelligence sources say that many Japanese, Chinese, and other nations’ satellites have gone silent and appear to have been hijacked by “the British and the Americans.”  Secret space program related?

The War Drummer made another fantastic, well-researched video for us based on some older Q crumbs. What a sad history we have on this planet; much of it no longer common knowledge. We have a lot of work to do to put things right.

The 2nd Sacrifice – Erasing History – Masonic Sorcery – By The War Drummer


If you want real intel, tune in to the update from Thomas Williams this afternoon/tonight at 7:30 EDT/4:30 Pacific for the Truth, Honor & Integrity Show. Listen here or here.


The cabal is desperate to provoke war, but Russia ain’t taking the bait and are stating no one sane will go there.

Moscow ‘ready for larger-scale provocations’ by the West, says Lavrov

Putin has retained his sense of humour, however. I thought his remark humourous, at least.

After nuclear holocaust, we’ll go to heaven as martyrs; attackers will die as sinners – Putin

If any nation decides to attack Russia with nuclear weapons, it may end life on Earth; but unlike the aggressors, the Russians are sure to go to heaven, President Vladimir Putin has said.

If we’re all going to die from a nuclear holocaust, I hope people will learn how to pronounce ‘nuclear’ properly, just so the history books are accurate.


More outages… this time with Amazon. Some feel these rolling comms interruptions are veiled threats by the dark to show us just what they can and might do. Could be factions flexing their muscles, too. My Internet went down for a few minutes again yesterday afternoon. It’s so commonplace I expect it. We’re at the point now if it didn’t, I’d miss it.

A Starship crew member reports the following anomaly on television October 16th in New York State…

Another weird thing happened on TV on Tuesday evening, at least here in central NYS – the much ballyhoo’d “The Connors” was supposed to be on – which I didn’t plan to watch anyway – but I’m always checking the TV guide to see what’s on and at 8PM prime tv time, NBC, CBS and ABC were all off the air with a notice to “not call, we are aware of the problem” message – however all my other directv channels worked.

That’s a first, isn’t it? It sounds like there is some activity related to the lamestream media’s ability to broadcast and that “they” are not in control. Testing, perhaps. Very interesting. Thanks, K, for the heads up. I’m expecting some very enlightening announcements in the near future.

Progress! More arrests. And we’re just getting started in this swamp.

U.S. Official Arrested, Criminally Charged For Leaking Confidential Documents in Russia Probe


Need a laugh? Those damn Russians are interfering in our election again? Not!

(Note: Make sure you are on the registered voting list for your district. We have heard that some people are finding they were not on the list and had to take steps to correct it before they could vote.)

Here’s where the problem in American elections lies. “I see dead people.”  We’ve heard in the past that “someone” has loaded oodles of names of the deceased onto voting lists. I wonder who got to cast their vote…

Seriously, though… if the only way you can win an election is to cheat, it’s time to throw in the towel. Just leave the planet.

Tom Fitton on CBN: 3.5 MILLION ‘Ghost Voters’ on Voter Rolls–‘That’s where you get fraud’

Maryland Implies Judicial Watch Has Ties to Russian Agents in Shameful Effort to Hide Voter Rolls Mess

Maryland officials have resorted to desperate measures to avoid giving Judicial Watch voter registration records—as required by federal law—by suggesting Judicial Watch is connected to Russian government agents.

The absurd implication was made in a federal court document involving a lawsuit filed last summer as part of a national Election Integrity Project to clean up voter rolls. Maryland is one of 11 states with more registered voters than citizens of voting age, according to U.S. Census Bureau data examined as part of Judicial Watch’s ongoing investigation.

In notice-of-violation letters Judicial Watch warned it would sue the 11 states if the problems weren’t fixed. In Maryland’s case, there are more registered voters in Montgomery County, the state’s most populous, than citizens over the age of 18. Besides threatening legal action, Judicial Watch’s notice letter to election officials requested access to Montgomery County voter registration lists to evaluate efforts to ensure the accuracy of eligible voter rolls during the past two years.

Section 8(i) of the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (NVRA) authorizes and entitles Judicial Watch to inspect and copy the requested voter lists. Maryland officials refuse to provide them, claiming that state law restricts the release of voter registration information to Maryland registered voters. The NVRA trumps any reservation the state may have and Judicial Watch is confident it will obtain the records.

Nevertheless, Judicial Watch had to sue in U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland to gain access to the voter registration lists under federal law, noting that Section 8(i) of the NVRA contains no requirement that only an individual person or a registered voter may request the documents that the statute describes.

Accordingly, Section 8(i) authorizes and entitles Judicial Watch to inspect and copy the requested voter lists. Maryland officials have chosen to dodge the law, refusing to provide the records and stonewalling with outlandish assertions during the pretrial discovery process. In a federal court document filed on behalf of State Administrator of Elections Linda H. Lamone, Maryland Attorney General Brian E. Frosh tries to associate Judicial Watch with Russian government agents.

Here is the excerpt straight from the interrogatory filed in court by Maryland’s attorney general: “Identify any Russian nationals or agents of the Russian government with whom you have communicated concerning this lawsuit, Judicial Watch’s request for a copy of the list of registered voters in Montgomery County, Maryland, the purposes for which you are seeking a copy of the list of registered voters in Montgomery County, Maryland, and/or any broader effort to obtain copies of similar lists from other jurisdictions of which Judicial Watch’s request for a copy of the list of registered voters in Montgomery County, Maryland, is a part.”

This shows that Maryland officials are using a baseless allegation to retaliate against an organization and its supporters because of their conservative political views, a violation of the First Amendment.

This week Judicial Watch responded to the plainly frivolous request as part of the pretrial process. There is not a shred of evidence or allegation in any pleading, document or even news report of any communications or associations between Judicial Watch and Russian nationals or agents of the Russian government.

Maryland officials knew that when they made the egregious request for documents they believed did not exist solely to associate Judicial Watch with an inflammatory, partisan fight making national headlines. This reflects negatively on Lamone and the Maryland State Board of Elections and both should be ashamed. “It’s completely outrageous,” said Robert Popper, director of Judicial Watch’s Election Integrity Project and a former deputy chief of the Voting Section of the Civil Rights Division at the Justice Department. “A government agency is taking Democratic talking points to beat someone up for suing them.”

Other states that Judicial Watch is forcing to clean up voter rolls include Alabama, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina and Tennessee. In California, Judicial Watch found more registered voters than voting-age citizens in 11 counties, including Imperial (102%), Lassen (102%), Los Angeles (112%), Monterey (104%), San Diego (138%), San Francisco (114%), San Mateo (111%), Santa Cruz (109%), Solano (111%), Stanislaus (102%), and Yolo (110%).

Under Section 8 of the NVRA, states are required to make a reasonable effort to remove the names of ineligible voters from official lists due to “the death of the registrant” or “a change in the residence of the registrant,” and requires states to ensure noncitizens are not registered to vote. Many states don’t bother conducting reasonable voter registration list maintenance as mandated under the NVRA.
