The 2016 election was interfered with in a major, egregious
way and it wasn’t Russia doing the meddling.
The meddling done by “Spooks Gone Wild” and was unprecedented. Britain’s MI6, the CIA, the FBI and Israel’s
Mossad combined efforts to ensure that Donald Trump would not upset the
“unending war” applecart. These
“intelligence” agencies had set in place the building blocks of a coup long before
the election. Eleven days before the
election when they believed Hillary Clinton would win, FBI Director James Comey
reopened the “e-mail” investigation in order to fatally injure Hillary’s
campaign keeping her from attaining the 270 Electoral College votes. From Down the Rabbit Hole:

Oligarchs cheer Comey's “hail Mary pass” to defeat Clinton & Trump
on November 8th
On Friday, October 28th just eleven days before the presidential
election, the oligarchs threw a “hail Mary” pass, not to Donald Trump but to
Paul Ryan, the oligarch’s speaker of the house. The oligarch controlled congress has been
teed up to decide the election should
neither candidate garner the 270 electoral votes required to become
president.
Republican James Comey, Director of the FBI and oligarch’s handmaiden delivered a blow to the
frontrunner in the presidential race, Hillary Clinton when he sent a letter
to the Senate Judiciary Committee stating the FBI was “reopening an
investigation” into the e-mails of Hillary Clinton. From Newsweek:
Excerpt:
The disclosure by the Federal
Bureau of Investigation late on Friday, October 28 that it had discovered
potential new evidence in its inquiry into Hillary Clinton’s handling of her
personal email when she was Secretary of State has virtually nothing to do with any actions taken by the Democratic
nominee, according to government records and an official with knowledge of
the investigation, who spoke to Newsweek on condition of anonymity.
The revelation that the FBI has
discovered additional emails convulsed
the political world, and led to widespread (and erroneous) claims and
speculation… The truth is much less
explosive. There is no indication the
emails in question were withheld by Clinton during the investigation, the
law enforcement official told Newsweek, nor does the discovery suggest she did
anything illegal.
Also, none of the emails were
to or from Clinton, the official said. Moreover, despite the widespread claims in the
media that this development had prompted the FBI to “reopen” of the case, IT DID NOT; such investigations
are never actually closed, and it is common for law enforcement to discover new
information that needs to be examined.
After meeting in London with CIA Director John Brennan, British
intelligence prepared the “pee pee dossier” a disgusting personal attack on
Donald Trump designed to sicken and revolt the American people. Rupert Murdoch’s media breathlessly echoed
every “unverified” salacious detail. In
the event the dossier failed to produce the desired effect, there was an
insurance policy put in place by Paul Ryan and the “Never Trumpers.”
Should neither Trump nor Clinton garner the required 270 Electoral
College votes to win the election, the president would be chosen by Paul Ryan’s
House of Representatives. From Down theRabbit Hole:
Excerpt:
Debate or “Never Trump” prelude to election theft
Presidential candidate, former CIA operative and GOP House policy
guru Evan McMullin revealed on Sunday the “Never Trump” plot to steal the
election.
Evan
McMullin, the former chief policy director for the House GOP Conference and
former CIA operative laid out the “Never Trump” plot to steal the November
election from Clinton and
Trump. Appearing on Wisconsin’s Sunday
morning political show, Upfront with Mike Gousha, Mc Mullin revealed his backers’ plot to take the election out of the
voters’ hands and punt it to the GOP controlled House of Representatives.
McMullin revealed the plan is “to
block Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump from winning the Electoral College so
that the election goes to the House of Representatives to choose the winner.”
GOP establishment candidate
McMullin entered the race in August
as the “Never Trump” candidate with
backing of the Republican establishment’s most well-known operatives Bill
Kristol, John Kingston, Joel Searby and Rick Wilson. Within
days of the announcement of his candidacy on August 8, 2016 McMullin gained
access to the ballots in Utah and Colorado and announced legal action would be
taken against states with deadlines on or after August 15. By August 14, the Independence Party of
Minnesota declared McMullin their presidential nominee.
GOP House breaks the tie
McMullin's chief strategist Joel Searby outlined the campaign strategy
on August 22nd in a memo, the campaign plans to block Hillary Clinton from
reaching 270 electoral votes, thus sending the election to the House of
Representatives…
Needless to say, the best laid plans of “rats and spooks”
failed and Donald Trump became President.
That did not stop the spooks from using every seditious tool in their nefarious
tool bag to remove Donald Trump from office.
Now the treacherous cabal is in a full state of panic, the worm is
turning and Donald Trump is fighting back.

The RussiaHoaxers Are Headed for Grand Juries, and Prison - Fireworks
Guaranteed
Not long ago, few Americans of the thinking persuasion might have imagined that such
a well-engineered republic, with its exquisite checks and balances, sturdy
institutions, and time-tested traditions would end up as so much smoldering
goop in a national dumpster fire, but such is the sad state-of-the-union
moving into the fateful summer of 2019.
The castle of the permanent bureaucracy is about to be torched by an
uprising of deplorable peasants led by a Golden Golem made furious by
relentless litigation. It’s Game of Thrones meets the Thermidorian Reaction
with a Weimar-flavored cherry on top — really one for the ages!
There’s perhaps a lot to dislike
about Donald J. Trump, US President No. 45. Despite all the grooming and
tailoring, there’s little savoir faire there. He tweets not like a mellifluous
songbird, but in snorts like a rooting aardvark. His every predilection is an affront to the refined Washington
establishment: his dark business history, his beloved ormolu trappings, his
Mickey-D cheeseburgers, the mystifying hair-doo.
Even so, the bad faith of his antagonists exceeds even Mr. Trump’s
defects and vices. The plot they concocted to get rid of him failed. And,
yes, it was a plot, even a coup. And
they fucked it up magnificently, leaving a paper trail as wide as
Interstate-95. Now all that paper is
about to fall over the District of Columbia like radioactive ash, turning
many current and former denizens of rogue agencies into the walking dead as
they embark on the dismal journey between the grand juries and the federal
prisons.
Hence, the desperate rage of the
impeachment faction, in direct proportion to their secret shameful knowledge that the entire RussiaGate melodrama was,
in fact, a seditious subterfuge between the Hillary Clinton campaign and a
great many key figures in government up-to-and-including former president
Barack Obama, who could not have failed to be clued-in on all the
action. Even before the declassification order, the true narrative of events
has been plainly understood: that the US Intel “community” trafficked in
fictitious malarkey supplied by Mrs. Clinton to illegally “meddle” in the 2016
election.
Most of the facts are already
documented. Only a few details remain to be confirmed: for instance, whether international man-of-mystery and entrapment
artist Josef Mifsud was in the employ of the CIA, and/or Britain’s MI6,
and/or Mrs. Clinton’s Fusion GPS contractor (or Christopher Steele’s Orbis
Business Intelligence company, a subcontractor to both Fusion GPS and the
FBI). Questions will now be asked — though not by The New York Times.
The evidence already public
indicates that Robert Mueller must have known as early as the date of his
appointment (and likely before) that the predicating evidence for his inquiry
was false. After all, his soon-to-be lead prosecutor, Andrew
Weissmann, was informed of that in no uncertain terms by his DOJ colleague,
Deputy Attorney General Bruce Ohr, in 2016.
Justice may seek to know why Mr.
Mueller did not inform the target of his inquiry that this was so. The answer
to that may be that Mr. Mueller’s true
mission was to disable Mr. Trump as long as possible while setting an
obstruction of justice trap — which also failed tactically.
Notice that Mr. Mueller declined to testify before the House Judiciary
Committee last week. Chairman
Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) was a fool to
invite him. Did he not know that minority members of his committee get
to ask questions too?
In an interesting turn of the screw
last week, polling showed that a
majority of those asked were in favor of investigations into the origin of the
RussiaGate story. The FBI, being an agency under the direct supervision
of the Attorney General, will be hosed out for sure. The CIA, on the other hand, has a sordid history of acting as a
sovereign state within the state — hence the derivation of the Deep State.
They are renowned for protecting
their own. Remember, the Senate Minority Leader, Mr. Schumer, snidely told the
incoming President Trump at the get-go that the Intel community “has six ways
from Sunday at getting back at you.” I guess we’ll finally get to see about that
because the CIA’s former director, the wicked Mr. Brennan, is grand jury bound.
I suspect he will not be protected by his former colleagues. His downfall may presage a more thorough cleanup, and perhaps a
major reorganization, of this monstrous agency.
The indictment of Julian Assange
adds a big wrinkle to these upcoming proceedings. Apart for what it means to
First Amendment protection for a free press (no small matter), Mr.
Assange is the one person who actually knows who handed over the “hacked” DNC
emails to Wikileaks. Perhaps getting the answer to that
question is the real reason that the DOJ is throwing the book at him.
The trial of Mr. Assange is sure to be a humdinger.
I’m convinced, personally, that all this melodrama will play out against
the background of a cratering global economy, tanking financial markets, and
epic disruption of the established international order. Consider laying in
some supplies.
Whoa Nellie, the worm is turning indeed. As is the norm the rats are turning on each
other in a desperate attempt to cover their own asses. Let the finger pointing begin. From Zero Hedge:
Excerpt:
FBI-CIA Dispute Erupts Over Whether Comey Or Brennan Pushed Steele
Dossier
A dispute has erupted over whether former FBI Director James Comey or
his CIA counterpart, John Brennan, promoted the unverified Steele dossier as
the Obama-era intelligence community targeted the Trump campaign. In a statement to Fox, however, a former CIA
official "put the blame squarely on Comey."
According to Fox News, an email chain exists which indicates
that Comey told bureau subordinates that
Brennan insisted on the dossier's
inclusion in the intelligence community assessment (ICA) on Russian
interference. Also interesting is that the dossier was referred to as
"crown material" in the emails - a possible reference to the fact
that Steele is a former British spy.
In a statement to Fox, however, a
former CIA official "put the blame squarely on Comey." "Former Director Brennan, along with
former [Director of National Intelligence] James Clapper, are the ones who
opposed James Comey’s recommendation that the Steele Dossier be included in
the intelligence report," said the official.
"They
opposed this because the dossier was in no way used to develop the ICA,"
the official continued. "The intelligence analysts didn't include
it when they were doing their work because it wasn't corroborated intelligence,
therefore it wasn't used and it wasn't included. Brennan and Clapper prevented
it from being added into the official assessment. James Comey then decided on his own to brief Trump about the
document."
Former GOP Rep. Trey Gowdy - a
longtime defender of the FBI - told Fox News' Martha MacCallum on Tuesday night
that "Comey has a better argument
than Brennan, based on what I've seen."
In March, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) suggested over Twitter that Brennan
had "insisted that the unverified and fake Steele dossier" be
included in the January 2017 ICA.
Senator Rand Paul
✔
@RandPaul
BREAKING: A high-level source
tells me it was Brennan who insisted that the unverified and fake Steele
dossier be included in the Intelligence Report... Brennan should be asked to
testify under oath in Congress ASAP.
The
dossier was ultimately not included in the ICA according to previous testimony
by Clapper. Meanwhile, word that Comey had briefed President Trump
personally on the dossier - "because he understood reporters already had
that information and it could become public soon if journalists had a "news
hook," according to the Associated Press. And as it so happens - the fact
that Comey briefed Trump is what CNN and
Buzzfeed claim legitimized their decision to publicly release the salacious and
unverified dossier.
Whether the FBI acted appropriately in obtaining the Foreign
Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant to Trump campaign aide Carter Page
is now the subject not only of U.S. Attorney John Durham's new probe, but
also the ongoing review by Justice Department Inspector General Michael
Horowitz. U.S. Attorney for Utah John Huber has been conducting his own
investigation separately, although details of his progress were unclear.
As one example, in its FISA application, the bureau repeatedly and incorrectly
assured the court in a footnote that it "does not believe"
British ex-spy Christopher Steele was the direct source for a Yahoo News
article implicating Page in Russian collusion, and instead asserted that the Yahoo article provided an independent
basis to believe Steele. -Fox News
On Sunday, Sen. Lindsey Graham
(R-SC) told Fox News that he was
pushing to declassify documents which would expose the FBI's dismal efforts to
verify the claims within the dossier. "There's a document that's classified
that I'm gonna try to get unclassified that takes the dossier -- all the pages
of it -- and it has verification to one side," said Graham. "There really is no verification,
other than media reports that were generated by reporters that received the
dossier."
Graham noted a report by The Hill's
John Solomon that the FBI was
specifically told that Steele was "keen" to leak his salacious
dossier for the purpose of influencing the 2016 US election. The agency also knew that the document's
claims were either unverified or disproven, yet it was used anyway against
Trump and his campaign.
Clapper and Brennan are known to lie under oath before
congress in the past with absolutely no consequences so why would anyone
believe them now. What a den of thieves
and liars. And just think of the lives
of people who were destroyed by these “Spooks Gone Wild.” The worm is turning. According to State of the Nation, America is
in for the “War of the Century.”
Excerpt:
War of the Century Trump vs. the Deep State
COLLISION COURSE 2019: It’s
gonna get ugly—REAL UGLY!
What will happen first: Trump’s IMPEACHMENT or the Swamp’s INDICTMENTS
?
At this critical stage of the
American Experiment, there’s simply no
stopping the Trump ship of state from hitting the Deep State iceberg. It’s not if but when… and the deafening
collision will take place very soon. Truly,
it’s getting very ugly out there with no signs of either side reversing
course. Just as Trump is determined as ever to expose the RUSSIAgate hoax, Deep State
is resolved to keep it covered up.
In the lead-up to the 2020 election
everything points to both sides TAKING NO PRISONERS. That’s
because only a slash and burn war strategy will secure victory, especially
given the all-out war raging inside the Beltway.
Impeachment
The Democrats know that President Trump has the evidence on ALL of
them to prove ongoing sedition and outright treason. The DEMs are so desperate they’re still
attempting to carry out a soft coup IN BROAD DAYLIGHT. Therefore, short of an assassination attempt,
Deep State’s primary weapon is impeachment.
Even though a Senate conviction cannot happen given the GOP majority, the DEMs need a stirring political
drama to use against Trump to preclude his re-election.
Speaker Pelosi is merely biding her time before she pulls out the
“impeachment card”. When there is a
critical of mass of support within the Democrat caucus, and more RINOs have joined that cause, Pelosi will call Trump in this
high-stakes poker game. It’s of
paramount importance for patriots to understand that dirty cop Robert Mueller was empowered by Deep State to launch his
corrupted investigation for 2 main reasons.
First, to use the DoJ to dig up dirt on Trump’s
businesses that could then serve as evidence which would be farmed out to
the various jurisdictions where he operated (e.g. United States District Court
for the Southern District of New York). Deep State Democrats knew the Russiagate
witch hunt was utterly fake but used it as cover to go after Trump in every
other way possible, which they did…
Secondly, Deep State knew from the very beginning that
Trump would fall into their ‘obstruction trap’, which he did. Even though Trump was just twittering
Trumpese, the Deep State co-conspirators knew that it would not take much for
him to use language that could be legally construed as “obstruction”. However,
GIVEN THE ABUNDANCE OF HARD EVIDENCE PROVING SEDITION, Trump has the perfect excuse for attempting to stop the patently
obvious Democrat coup d’état.
What else is a POTUS to do except OBSTRUCT a coup d’état by every
means necessary?! Although some
of Trump’s many RUSSIAgate proclamations may technically and legally fit into
an obstruction charge, his “mens rea”
was clearly a very strong desire to thwart a white-collar insurrection.
After all, Obama & Company did everything possible to steal the
election from Trump, just as they have transparently attempted to overthrow
his administration since Inauguration Day…
The “real beauty” of this
unparalleled coup is that the American
people have been WITNESSING THE DEMOCRAT CRIMES AND CORRUPTION — DURING PRIME
TIME — since Trump first declared his candidacy in June of 2015. Hence, the Democrats have been given a LOT of
rope to hang themselves, which is exactly what they have all done.
One wonders how they could have been so stupid and so clueless while
conducting a coup against a sitting POTUS?! Essentially, these Soros-funded purple
revolutionaries allowed themselves to be videoed and recorded at their
multi-location crime scene throughout the country.
The crucial point here is that, once Hilary lost, everything changed
and Trump got access to all the records proving rampant criminality and endemic
corruption—EVERYTHING! The NSA has a
digital record of every crime committed in the conduct of this highly complex
criminal conspiracy to overthrow the POTUS.
So do other secret
data-gathering agencies, by the way, some of which are located in foreign
nations.
Collision Course 2019
Given this rapidly intensifying
state of affairs, there’s a Perfect Storm brewing inside the Beltway. Hence,
this unprecedented political superstorm is guaranteed to tear apart Washington,
D.C. like none other in U.S. history.
When you pit an all-pervasive and
all-powerful Deep State against the indomitable Trump movement, you have nothing less than the Titanic
hitting the iceberg. Only in this particular case, “Captain
Trump” may be navigating a Russian-built icebreaker. In which case the Deep State iceberg is about
to be rent asunder.
What’s really at stake for both
sides in this epic war is not only the
final control of the U.S. Federal Government, but also serious jail time for
the many traitors who continue to attempt to oust the POTUS at every turn.
As for Trump, if he loses this critical 2019 battle, Deep State will continue to make
his life so miserable he’ll regret ever running for POTUS. Likewise, his family and close friends
will also suffer greatly as will his many key political supporters and
donors. However, it is those who have
staffed his administration who stand the bear the greatest consequences in an
effort to dissuade them from backing future “Donald Trumps”. If Trump loses the 2020 contest, the
Democrats will surely prosecute him till the end of his life.
In any event, July 4th 2019 is quite likely to see a fireworks show in D.C. like none
other. The sheer panic being exhibited
by the leadership of the Left is unparalleled. Their actions reveal a level of fear about Trump’s declass initiative which is now seeing
the perps turn on each other like crazy. It’s as though the rats leaving the sinking Obama ship are now eating each other in a
feeding frenzy. Such an
extraordinary spectacle has never been seen before on American TV.
All of this is only happening,
incidentally, because the Democrats never doubted that Hillary would win. Once Trump won, the fundamentally communist Democrat Party literally went insane in
their endeavors to push Trump out of office.
In so doing, they have broken so many laws in the process it boggles the
mind.
There
are now so many scandals ending in “……gate”
that no one can keep track of them all. And, each criminal conspiracy is not only
very deep and broad in the SES staffing and top-level involvement, each one
still requires an elaborate cover-up. The stark reality is that it’s simply
impossible to effectively manage so many concurrent cover-ups simultaneously. No one can do it, not even AI brains
strategically positioned throughout Deep State and the rogue C.I.A. black ops
apparatus.
False Flag Mass Casualty Event
Because of what’s truly at stake for Deep State, everything points
directly at yet another false flag mass casualty event (MCE) in the very
near future. Depending on how successful
or unsuccessful that black operation turns out to be, the same perps will
likely conduct a second false flag; and maybe even a third.
Their highly purposeful mission will be to sufficiently shock and
awe the American consciousness into a PTSD mode. Only in this way can they completely take over
the dominant narrative that might then revolve at that time around the first
American coup d’état to be outed from the top down.
Let’s face it: the U.S.
Intelligence Community will simply not permit the complete exposing of
SPYgate. Every single intel agency was likely involved to include the FBI, DoJ,
CIA, as were many senior officials in the Obama administration.
Obama himself knew of Hillary Clinton’s illegal home server and private
email yet lied about it because he actually approved to the unlawful
arrangement. Therefore, the ex-prez
is quite vulnerable to prosecution for many of the broken laws directly
associated with both EMAILgate and SERVERgate, separate scandals unto
themselves.
Why is the Clinton Emailgate Scandal so HUGE?
When you throw in all the other much bigger scandals in the Trump era —
WIRETAPgate, SPYgate, FISAgate, DOSSIERgate — Deep State will feel compelled to
blow the whole place up, if it must to keep a tight lid on all the
threatening investigations.
After all, when SWAMPgate is
blown wide open, the entire D.C. swamp will be full of indicted (i) agents of
Deep State, (ii) rogue Intel operatives, (iii) traitors in Congress, (iv)
SCOTUS imposters, (v) perfidious appointees from previous administrations, and
(vi) former POTUSes who sold out their country.
SWAMPgate: You won’t believe how ALL the perps are connected…as in
joined at the hip!
Hence, the primary and most
effective way of keeping this all under wraps for Deep State is to pull off a 9/11-level type of terrorist attack. Or, multiple MCEs that distract and divert
over the course of this very tumultuous time period…
Conclusion
Things are quite combustible right
now and getting more so for the foreseeable future.
This is really the only way it can
end — WITH A BIG BANG — because the
well-hidden movers and shakers who really run the whole place will not be
dislodged without a HUGE fight. The wealthy elites have had full control
for centuries and will not surrender their power and influence without
a knock-down-drag-out fight. That time has come!
This is why there has been a
major drive throughout Big Social Media to eliminate all the truth-speakers and
-writers from their platforms.
Similarly, Big Tech has been manipulating the newest IT technology,
hardware, software and WiFi so that they can terminate any patriot/nationalist
with the single push of a button. They can’t have patriot bloggers and
truth-tellers such as SOTN predicting their schemes before they’re even
executed…
Bottom Line: Come Election Day 2020, the USA will be in a radically different place.
Exactly what that will look like is anyone’s guess. Therefore, we pray…we pray that the United
States of America will somehow pass through this superstorm intact and cleansed
of those nefarious forces that seek to do it harm.
Yes, indeed “Come Election Day 2020, the USA will be in a
radically different place.” The Deep State
is already preparing for Election Day 2020, they cannot afford another four
years of sunlight in the Trump Administration.
The worm is turning and there will be no stopping it so you can be sure
the Deep State will do anything to protect themselves. The Deep State hopes by turning over the
election process to the Military Industrial Complex they can avoid the
inevitable. From Whitney Webb at

Microsoft’s ElectionGuard a Trojan Horse for a Military-Industrial
Takeover of US Elections
“The fact that we are handing over the keys
of American democracy to the military-industrial complex — it’s like giving the keys to the henhouse to a fox and saying,
‘here come in and take whatever you want.’ It’s obviously dangerous.” —
Investigative journalist Yasha Levine
Earlier this month, tech giant
Microsoft announced its solution to “protect” American elections from interference,
which it has named “ElectionGuard.” The
election technology IS ALREADY SET TO BE
ADOPTED BY HALF OF VOTING MACHINE MANUFACTURERS AND SOME STATE GOVERNMENTS FOR
THE 2020 GENERAL ELECTION. Though
it has been heavily promoted by the mainstream media in recent weeks, none of
those reports have disclosed that ElectionGuard has several glaring conflicts
of interest that greatly undermine its claim aimed at protecting U.S.
democracy.
In this investigation, MintPress
will reveal how ElectionGuard was
developed by companies with deep ties to the U.S. defense and intelligence
communities and Israeli military intelligence, as well as the fact that it
is far from clear that the technology would prevent foreign or domestic
interference with, or the manipulation of, vote totals or other aspects of
American election systems.
Election forensics analyst and
author Jonathan Simon as well as investigative journalist Yasha Levine, who has
written extensively on how the military
has long sought to weaponize public technologies including the internet, were
consulted for their views on ElectionGuard, its connections to the
military-industrial complex and the implication of those connections for
American democracy as part of this investigation.
In January, MintPress published an
exposé that later went viral on a news-rating company known as Newsguard.
Officially aimed at fighting “fake news,”
the company’s many connections to U.S. intelligence, a top neoconservative
think tank, and self-admitted government propagandists revealed its real
intention was to promote corporate media over independent alternatives.
Newsguard was among the first
initiatives that comprise Microsoft’s “Defending Democracy” program, a program
that the tech giant created under the auspices of protecting American
“democratic processes from cyber-enabled interference [which] have become a critical
concern.” Through its partnership with Microsoft, Newsguard has been installed in public libraries and universities
throughout the country, even while private-sector companies have continued to
avoid adopting the problematic browser plug-in…
However, according to Jonathan
Simon, election forensic analyst and author of CODE RED: Computerized Elections
and the War on American Democracy, this public relations campaign is likely
just cover for more insider control over U.S. elections. “It’s encouraging that
after close to two decades of ignoring
the security issues with computerized voting, there’s suddenly a scramble to
protect our next election that suggests those issues are finally being
taken seriously,” Simon told MintPress. “Unfortunately
the proposed solution is just more computerization and complexity — which
translates to more control by experts and insiders, though of course
that is not part of the PR campaign.”
As to the likely identity of those
insiders, the fact that Microsoft’s ElectionGuard
was developed in tandem with a private military and intelligence contractor
whose only investor is the U.S. Department of Defense offers a troubling clue.
As a consequence, ElectionGuard’s promise to “secure” elections is dubious,
especially given that Microsoft itself
is a U.S. military contractor.
Furthermore, amid the
unfolding scandal of Israeli meddling in foreign elections, Microsoft’s growing
ties to Israeli military intelligence and private Israeli cybersecurity firms
raise even more concerns about WHETHER ELECTIONGUARD’S REAL PURPOSE
IS TO “SECURE” AMERICAN ELECTIONS FOR CANDIDATES FRIENDLY TO THE ESTABLISHMENT,
ESPECIALLY THE MILITARY-INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX…
Another interesting, and deeply
troubling, admission in the Microsoft announcement is that Microsoft’s ElectionGuard development partner, the Portland-based
cybersecurity firm Galois, “recently received $10 million in funding from the
Pentagon’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to build a
demonstration voting system to help evaluate secure hardware DARPA researchers
are developing as part of a separate DARPA program…”
As deeply troubling as DARPA’s $10 million indirect investment in
ElectionGuard may seem, it is merely scratching the surface, as Galois itself
is essentially an extension of DARPA in the private cybersecurity industry.
THE “PRIVATE” COMPANY WHOSE ONLY
INVESTOR IS THE PENTAGON..
Though it describes itself as “a
privately held U.S.-owned and -operated company,” public records indicate that
Galois’ only investors are DARPA and the Office of Naval Research (ONR), both
of which are divisions of the Department of Defense. In other words, while “officially” a private company, its only investor
is the U.S. government, more specifically the Pentagon…
Aside from the numerous links to major corporations, government
agencies and neoconservative think tanks, of particular concern to Free
& Fair’s mission to develop “secure” election technology are its
connections to DHS. This is because, before, during and after the 2016 election, DHS was caught attempting to
hack into state electoral systems in at least three states — Georgia, Indiana
and Idaho — with similar accusations also being made in Kentucky and West
Virginia.
In Indiana’s case, the DHS’ attempted hacks occurred nearly 15,000
times over a 46 day period. In an official answer to Georgia’s claim the
DHS had tried to penetrate its electoral system’s firewall, DHS which initially
denied being behind the attempted hack,
later responded that the attempted breach was “legitimate business”
aimed at “verifying a professional license administered by the state.” Some of
the states targeted by DHS had turned down the department’s offer to “shore up”
election systems prior to the 2016 election.
Compare this to the alleged Russian hacking into state electoral
systems, which – to date – includes only the claim from the FBI that hackers
alleged to be affiliated with Russian military intelligence penetrated voter
registration data in two counties in Florida. That alleged hack, the
details of which remain classified and for
which no evidence of it even happening has been made publicly available,
did not result in any alterations to data or other manipulation of those
systems, per FBI officials.
The DHS, in contrast, attempted to
hack into the systems, not of individual
counties, but entire states and acknowledged that it did so, even though they
chose not to use the work “hack” and defended their activity. While
focusing on foreign — and especially Russian — interference may make for a
more patriotic story, the dangers
posed by domestic actors with at least as great a stake in U.S. election
outcomes appear to have been grossly underestimated and virtually ignored by
the media…
Given that ElectionGuard’s system
as currently described is neither as “secure” nor as “verifiable” as Microsoft
is claiming, it seems clear that the
conflicts of interests of its developers, particularly their connections to the
U.S. and Israeli militaries, are a recipe for disaster and tantamount to a takeover
of the American election system by the military-industrial complex.
“The great irony, and tragedy,
here,” according to election forensics analyst Jonathan Simon, “is that we
could so easily go the opposite direction and quickly solve all the problems
of election security if we got the computers out of the voting process and
were willing to collectively invest the modicum of effort needed for humans to
count votes observably in public as they once did. If democracy is not worth
that effort, perhaps we don’t deserve it.”
Yes indeed the worm is turning and things are going to get
real ugly. Should the Deep State
prevail, life in America will be even more devastating for Americans, in the
future there will not even be the illusion of a Democratic election. The 2016 election was interfered with in a
major, egregious way and it wasn’t Russia doing the meddling.
The meddling done by “Spooks Gone Wild” and was unprecedented. 2016 wasn’t the first time Britain’s MI6, the
CIA, the FBI and Israel’s Mossad combined efforts to steal the election. The 2000 election was the first and America
has been in decline ever since. All
Supreme Court judges place on the high court since 2000 are illegitimate. All justices on the appellate and lower courts
since then are illegitimate. All voter
ID and election laws passed since then are illegitimate, all wars started since
then are illegitimate.
Unending war for profit, corrupt intelligence agencies
producing lies and destroying lives, grand theft of the wealth of nations and
the criminalization of investigative journalism is rampant. Now the Spooks are going nuts and the worm is
turning.
America must abandon electronic voting and return to paper
ballots with people counting the votes.
Our elections can only be secure when these criminals are brought to
justice and the full faith of the American people in their election process is
restored. The worm is turning and
justice for the American people must prevail.
