Evil assumes many guises. This guy bears a creepy resemblance to another slightly built, bespectacled government "servant" watching out for us. Call him Tony, aka "America's doctor."

Does Abowd still have a job? Partisans need to attest to fairness. Sadly many, usually Democrats, still think any means to their desired ends.

I would argue that there should be a 'fourth' solution to this travesty: a lengthy prison term for John Aboud. This partisn POS can't get away with this, yet I'll bet a crisp new dollar that he does. I get so disgusted watching all the dirty tricks that never have recourse. It makes me want to bury my head in the sand, since it is only painful to be informed.

So what can be done about the perpetrators, led by Abowd?

I recently wrote about the red states that unfairly LOST seats and the blue states that unfairly GAINED seats in the 2020 census. https://open.substack.com/pub/foxyheterodoxy/p/admitted-2020-census-miscount-red?r=1qba3o&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false

So glad Amuse is on the forefront explaining HOW the census was rigged by a partisan actor, John M. Abowd, formerly the Census Bureau's Chief Scientist who pushed through an opaque methodology that could seemingly be manipulated. We need to get the Census straightened out before 2030. This is a worthwhile read!

"Abowd did not merely suppress a few cells in tiny places. Instead, he ran an algorithm across the map that perturbed the population of every census block, and it postprocessed the results so the fabricated numbers looked tidy. "

And unless there is full transparency on data and algorithm, the same thing can and is being done with anything AI.

The Democrats stealing the 2020 elections is the best thing that could ever happen. It is terrible it terms of the twenty milllion illegals they let into the country but Biden's four years showed us the rot in the Democrat party. The Democrat Party is dying in front of us and will never recover. Republicans in office are finally demonstrating they have a spine.

How did one malignantly partisan individual end up with so much control over something so crucial?

How can the system be changed so that this never happens again?

It happened because of 16 year Obama control of federal bureaucracy. It seems to me that term limits for Congress would be one required step along with dramatic downsizing of the federal government, and ending federal contracting and economic planning. We are in deep shit.
