US election: Fact vs conspiracy – BBC Newsnight
As misinformation over the US election result continues to grow, Newsnight takes a look at how the battle between conspiracy and fact is shaping — what is soon to be — post-Trump America. Please subscribe HERE http://bit.ly/1rbfUog
The American election may have been decided — but President Trump is still fighting President-elect Biden in the courts. Tonight in Georgia — where runoff elections in January could decide the balance of power in the Senate — the results of a recount are expected imminently.
In the election President Trump was voted for by a broad coalition of over 70 million Americans, but now the longer he refuses to concede, the more the anger and conspiracy theories start to fly amongst his more ardent fans.
Newsnight’s International Editor Gabriel Gatehouse reports from Georgia. There is some strong language in this film.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

Sadly media on both sides have fueled so much of this. Lies on both sides. The 2020 election was won by Biden. Folks weren’t happy when Trump took 2016, but they didn’t make up lies or try and stop the ratification of the valid electoral vote count. True Conservatives and I have lost the Republican party to a dangerous base. It’s sad.

I'm somewhat an expert on election fraud, coming from Chicago, where we PROVED that Nixon won in 1960. The sham election was supported by all news organs, even Murdoch's Orthodox sons interfering with America as usual. Important Republicans are on Soros's payroll or partied with Jeffrey Epstein and Robert Maxwell's daughter, so the 700 VIPs blackmail scheme of CIA-MOSSAD covers all the bases, as we Yanks say. These closet communists are building up Red China for the next big war. Why won't you brainless television watchers wake up? Oh, perhaps that is the reason why.

What do former MI5 spooks do when short of cash? They spin lies into scripts for that same media at the behest, and in the pay of the democrat party-
which in turn sells the script to FBI, who pays for them with our money-to crush a presidential campaign and smear the candidate as a Russian agent. The BBC does it's part in repeating and magnifying the lie.But when common citizens proclaim their suspicions that the Corporate-State Nexus seems to have conspired to subvert their election, the BBC is skeptical. Once again, they do their master's bidding.
Brits– it may be time for you to consider your own war for independence!
