I feel a new and different type of store could offer different types of things for the town without damaging the other stores. Opening a new store could give our town a fresh- er look and possibly expand our needs. I honestly feel the new store can help the town receive items that the other stores do not have. Joyce Calvin Morrow County students named to BMCC honor roll Blue Mountain Com- munity College has an- nounced the names of Mor- row County students who were named to the 2020 summer term and the 2020- 21 fall term. Summer term 2020 honor roll recognition went to the following full-time students named to the Presi- dent’s List with a 3.75 - 4.0 GPA: Jessica Altamirano, Jessica Calvillo, Casandra Fleming and Alit Rosales. Summer term students who were named to the Vice We have entered dystopian stage To the editor: We have entered the dystopian stage of the Obama/Biden globalist government where anyone that questions or challeng- es this new world order will be censored, ridiculed, persecuted or prosecuted. For example, any person that dares to say the presi- dential election was stolen or fraudulent will become a target despite the fact that: 1) Three quarters of the registered voters be- lieve the 2020 presidential election was fraudulent. (Economist/YouGov Poll Nov. 19, 20). The truth is that any American that does even a cursorily investiga- tion will discover massive evidence of voter fraud, dead people voting, double voting, illegal alien votes, falsified votes by the tens of thousands and government manipulation of votes. Un- fortunately, that is not the major threat to our republic and freedom. 2) Our election voting systems have been compro- mised. Dominion and every other voting machine are all connected to the internet, where cyber malware eas- ily changes the algorithms, determining the rulers of governments throughout the once free world. (NBC news, Jan. 10, 21). Domin- ion executives lie under oath, knowing full well their own manuals reveal their deceit and treachery. They lie under oath be- cause they know America’s current justice system will protect them. Unless this fraudulent voting system is corrected, patriotic Ameri- cans that love our republic and way of life will never win another election. The democrats that control both houses of congress have reintroduced H.R.I. which will include “nationwide online voter registration, (with minimal verifica- tion requirements), same day registration; automatic voter registration…and le- galization of ballot harvest- ing.” (Epoch Times, Feb. 3. 21). Unfortunately, there are even greater threats to our liberty. 3) Our American Con- gress and the vast majority of our news and media outlets waste our precious blessings of governess with a senseless and futile effort to impeach a pres- ident fraudulently voted out of office. At the same time our enemies, with the support of Obama/Biden (China, Russia and Iran), insidiously and ominously (economically, political- ly and militarily) gather strength and confidence to destroy our nation. There is undeniable evidence, that our courts will not allow to be presented, that our presidential election was hacked and stolen from the American people by foreign nations that want to anni- hilate America. President Trump won by such a large margin that even our gov- ernment and national voting fraud could not elect Joe Biden. The steal required foreign government cyber interference of the election, of which 66 percent came from China. (Mike Lindell, “Absolute Proof,” Feb. 5, One America News). The second greatest source of cyber-attack came from Iran. In 27 states in America our votes are counted and stored in overseas servers easily changed and manip- ulated. (Lindell, op. cit). Iran, China and multiple globalist nations have con- spired with the Biden/Har- ris/Pelosi/Schumer/Obama government to remove the Trump administration, con- sistent with their mutual globalist, anti-God agendas. This is nothing short of an act of war against America and the American people. And worst of all, that is not the greatest threat to our republic and way of life. 4) Abraham Lincoln prophetically warned, “At what point then is the ap- proach of danger to be ex- pected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst. It cannot come from abroad. If destruc- tion be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of free- men, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.” (Lyceum Address, 1838). Our American Republic, our liberty birthright, our heritage of freedom lies in the balance, not only because of traitors in our midst or even foreign in- terference, but primarily because of Americans in positions of elected power and authority have been bribed or blackmailed or are just plain cowards. These traitors are unwilling to stand up against the deceit and treachery of deadly foes within and without our nation. This is why the Clintons get away with bloody murder. This is why Barack Obama can make deals with our enemies, Russia and Iran, and none dare call it conspiracy. This is why a career, corrupt, compromised politician, who could not gather an audience, could be elected as President of the USA. This is why politicians can lie, cheat, incite violence and sleep with Chinese spies with no consequence. This is why the DOJ, FBI, Internal Revenue, Supreme Court Justice Roberts, and pick any government agen- cy; promote iniquity and call it justice. This is why A.G. William Barr can boldly pronounce there is no evidence of fraud in the election. Why? Because the fraudulent vote has never been adjudicated in a court of law. None of this lawlessness and treachery could happen if the press and media would expose wickedness instead of giving cover to those that hate America. This is why the fraudulent election has never been uncovered. The forensic evidence, the voting deceit, the corrupt voting officials have never been brought to trial. Leg- islators and lawyers have been threatened with crimi- nal action by those in power in our government should they attempt to expose the wickedness in high places in America today. All who have the courage to speak out and expose the treach- ery, like the pillow man Mike Lindell, have been mercilessly attacked, their business partners threat- ened, and censored by the media, twitter, Facebook and the press. The greatest threat to our liberty, our freedom, our way of life, our wonder- ful heritage as Americans is this: lack of courage and integrity in those that govern our nation or report the daily news. Our fore- fathers had courage, from the Pilgrims to our men in Vietnam, from the Revolu- tionary heroes to the youth that charged Dunkirk. Our republic is under attack from within and without. Hosea 4:6 warns, “My peo- ple are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” Do not be deceived by the lies and de- ception on every corner of a nation that once honored the God of the Bible. Do not fear these traitors. Fear only the One who has the keys to Heaven and Hell. The Lord is looking upon the face of the earth to empower those with courage to stand for truth, justice, liberty and the blessings of the God of our forefathers.
