New Evidence Suggests That “The Most Secure Election in Earth History” Wasn’t So Much

You mean that incompetents and hyperpartisans in position of authority over their superiors have been lying to us?

I’m gonna need a minute on this one. My programming needs a big update.

New evidence further undermines claim that 2020 election was ‘most secure’ in history Declassified documents, other evidence, reveal that despite official assurances of a secure 2020 election, government agencies possessed intelligence regarding significant security vulnerabilities, foreign data breaches, and potential manipulation risks.

After several batches of documents were recently declassified and released by the White House, the American people now have more evidence than ever that while officials claimed 2020 was a historically secure election, the government had plenty of evidence of security vulnerabilities, hacks and foreign interference.

Shortly after the election, senior government officials insisted that it was the “most secure” in American history, deflecting concerns about security, including about voting systems and mail-in-ballots.

…

However, after the new batches of documents were declassified and released this summer by the White House, Americans have more evidence than ever that those same officials knew about significant breaches of election data and internally raised concerns about how foreign actors could influence the election and the vulnerability of electronic voting machines.

…

Maricopa exfiltration of voter registration data

The latest evidence released by the White House this week shows that the FBI investigated a breach of voter registration data in Arizona’s largest county in the days before the 2020 election. In that incident, a self-described hacker foiled security and obtained 633,000 voter registration files, but the Biden Justice Department and local prosecutors declined to bring charges even after the FBI got the suspect to confess, Just the News reported on Thursday.

The scraping of Maricopa County’s voter registration files was the most flagged security incident in a cyberintrusion log kept by U.S. spy agencies in the days surrounding the Nov. 3, 2020, election, showing that intelligence officials were monitoring the breach while voting was ongoing.

 

The article discusses China’s hacking of the US voter databases. See the article for more on that.

This is the most alarming possibility: We know that Venezuela rigged its own elections to fake a “win” for Maduro.

And Maduro is a nasty communist enemy of the US.

Did he do the same thing to the US elections, to get a demented old socialist fool “elected”?

The declassified documents released by the White House also show that from 2004 to 2020, U.S. intelligence agencies monitored plans by the Venezuelan leadership to electronically manipulate their country’s own voting machines, including the use of substituting false votes, to secure victory for the ruling socialists.The plans raised alarm as early as 2006 among U.S. officials as a potential avenue for the Venezuelans to attempt to “undermine confidence in, or manipulate the electoral process in, the United States,” according to a June 2026 CIA summary of prior intelligence reporting on Caracas’ capabilities.

By 2020, the CIA had obtained reporting on Venezuelan plans to swing the country’s election that year by manipulating electronic voting machines in a way that would make false votes appear legitimate and leave no trace of the changes. The intelligence raised questions about whether some U.S. voting machines could be vulnerable to similar types of manipulation, though agencies assessed that Venezuela did not have the capability to do so in the U.S.

 

What would we do without “agencies” to tell us that foreign threats aren’t threats at all, but opportunities for us to be welcoming and open-minded.

And, of course:

Non-citizens on voter rolls

Additionally, an assessment by the Homeland Security Department found that hundreds-of-thousands of illegal aliens were on the voter rolls in four states — and estimated the total across the whole country to be higher. A review conducted earlier this year using publicly available voter data in California, Nevada, New Jersey and Pennsylvania found over 250,000 illegal voters on the rolls, Just the News reported.

 

Tangentially related: While Democrats whine about Trump firing disloyal subversive operatives, Hillary Clinton urges the next Democrat president, who will not be her, to fire every single Republican, no matter how minor or how far from any actual power.

 

 

 

 

She literally complains about Trump’s plans to do this, while urging Democrats to do the same thing.

Talk about projection.

But think about what Clinton is saying there — she’s talking about the tactic of suborning a president’s agenda by holding the civil service, in the context of accusing President Donald Trump of possibly doing it. She does not appear to be just talking about the political positions, saying a Democrat president needs to get rid of Trump people: “Get rid of all the holdovers. Do not let anybody hang around in some small office somewhere who can literally subvert your program and you don’t even know the person is there.” She even talks about how you can move people from political positions into the civil service to help keep them in government positions, predicting that Trump “will try to move” people to do this

The civil service positions aren’t supposed to be political appointments. “People are going to have to be really searching,” she said, ” To make sure they’re not going to be literally subverted from within the government.”

What was that people were saying about a “deep state” and every accusation being a confession? Is this an admission about the past?

So Clinton would do a “purge” of anyone for the sin of being supportive of Trump or Trump positions. Purging opposing views sounds like a typical move from the folks who keep The civil service positions aren’t supposed to be political appointments. “People are going to have to be really searching,” she said, ” To make sure they’re not going to be literally subverted from within the government.”

 Former Democratic Socialists of America member Jake Altman offered an inside look Saturday at the organization he says has been overtaken by communists — warning the same playbook is now being used to push the Democratic Party further to the left.”Their organization has been captured…” Altman told Fox News.

“One of my real concerns is that we see a lot of resistance to anti-communism within the DSA, even from the moderate wing of the DSA, and I think this is very, very dangerous.”

Speaking on “Saturday in America,” Altman warned the organization is anything but “harmless,” claiming its members are “perfectly willing to cohabitate with Maoists, with Trotskyists, with Leninists” — groups he said are intent on dismantling American institutions.

“People who want to pull down American institutions and are very clear about it. People who have this thrill to violence. That is just profoundly troubling at a time when our country is already facing many, many problems,” he said.

Altman also said some aspects of the group raised his eyebrows nearly 10 years ago when, while participating in a debate on the organization’s behalf, he questioned whether he was the best person to represent its trajectory.

At the time, he claimed, he was reassured that the organization’s increasingly radical direction was being driven by only a small faction clustered around “Jacobin” magazine.

“I was debating with Leninists who were saying Bernie Sanders isn’t a socialist, and now we’re hearing that from DSA, right? Bernie Sanders, AOC, they’re not real socialists,” he recalled.

“So I think this is just the level of extremism and radicalism we’re seeing. People in DSA will try to minimize it and say it’s just a few people… they’re a small minority. But… look at the executive board. It’s full of this alphabet soup of extremist caucuses.”

Altman urged Democrats to stand up against a “radicalized base,” as far-left DSA candidates secure wins nationwide.

“These people are not operating in good faith,” he said. “DSA members are not in the Democratic Party to operate in good faith.”

 

Even Arch-Race-Lefty Van Jones is alarmed about his totally-not-communist Democrat Party being taken over by communists.

Again, how can these non-communist moderate leftist organizations keep becoming communist revolutionary groups?! Make it make sense!

Longtime CNN political commentator and Democrat Van Jones rebuked far-left activists Saturday, warning that their positions on Hamas, prisons and immigration are regressive and threatened to steer the Democratic Party in the wrong direction as socialist-backed candidates celebrated recent primary victories.

That is the Democrat Party’s direction, which you approve of.

You just don’t like the communists shouting it when they’re supposed to just whisper it and imply it, as you do.

…

“But some people in groups like the DSA are pushing an agenda FAR outside those ideals. Supporting Hamas is not progressive. ‘No police, no prisons, no borders’ is not progressive. Celebrating the murder of Israeli civilians is not progressive. These ideas are REGRESSIVE,” Jones said.

…

The ex-administration advisor to former President Barack Obama also rejected the argument that the far-left was merely advocating the type of social democracy practiced in Nordic countries.

“Some defend the far left by claiming they only want Nordic-style social democracy. If that were true, I might applaud them,” Jones said. “I want those policies, too! But what does universal healthcare have to do with Hamas? With abolishing all law enforcement? With erasing all borders? With treating every wealthy person as a villain? Ideas matter. And these are terrible ideas.”

 

Communist nepo baby and Islamist Party-Boy Zohran Mamdani claims he’s just fighting for the working class but has no definition of “working class.”

When pressed, he claims the “working class” is anyone being paid a salary, and includes his rich donors making up to one million dollars per year.

Mayor Mamdani struggles to define who the ‘working class’ is in a word salad interview
New York City’s socialist mayor, Zohran Mamdani, struggled to define who the “working class” is in a word salad response to a question about the people he vows to fight for.blank by journalist Lulu Garcia-Navarro, “How do you define the working class?”

“I think if you have to work to pay your bills, I think that that is one definition of being a part of the working class,” he vaguely responded.

When pushed whether he would consider those who make $250,000 per year as working class, he said, “I haven’t asked myself where it starts and stops.

“What I would say is those who are working to try and afford the basic dignities of life and aren’t able to do so, I think that that is also working class. Oftentimes we’re asked how we divide this country. I think there’s only one majority in this country — it’s the working class,” he then rambled.

Mamdani, in a lengthy interview with the New York Times published over the weekend, was asked point-

Confused by the convoluted reponse, Garcia-Navarro admitted that Hizzoner’s description didn’t seem to “ring true,” to her.

“It just seems a very easy answer to what is a complicated question,” the reporter fought back. “Because politically, if you’re saying everyone is the working class, or anyone that gets a salary is the working class, yes, that opens up your tent. But practically speaking, we are divided by income — and especially if you want to tax people, where you draw those lines matter.”

Mamdani then said he would draw the line at around $1 million per year — which Garcia-Navarro pointed out could alienate potential voters such as a janitor who he’s lumped in the same “working class” category as a successful lawyer.

 

I can’t believe we’re still fighting the leftists on whether or not communism works.

The descent into socialism that NYC seems to have embraced was not created out of whole cloth. This was not some covert effort to insinuate a crypto-socialist into the halls of power, the way Obama slithered his way into the Oval Office. The NYC versions are out-and-proud Islamo-fascists who cover themselves with a thin veneer of socialism that in and of itself is compatible with Islam.

What they did was clever…embracing the disaffection of an over-educated youth whose worthless degrees and lack of any actual worthwhile skills prevented them from entering the highly competitive workforce of NYC, all while expanding their cutely named “Democratic Socialist” platform to include a reprehensible foreign policy that centers around Jew-hate. That attracted the new 3rd World immigrants and the AWFLs. Couple that with a notoriously low turn-out and obvious vote manipulation, and Bingo! We have a NYC that is indistinguishable from Cuba.

Their platform is simple. America is evil. Israel is evil. Market economies are evil. Wealth is evil. The rule of law is evil. Confiscatory taxation to fund a comprehensive welfare state to benefit their voters is the only way to run a city, state, or nation.

Jeffrey Carter, a finance guy who came within a few thousand votes of the Republican nomination for NV Treasurer, has written a primer on the emergence of socialism in America, and it is worth a careful read. He is polite, and sometimes calls them Democrats, but the results are the same.

The Socialist Sweep

Democrats played the very long game. Where did it start? Post 1960s, the radicals quit trying to change society overtly. They all went into education. They became respected members of the professor class, and frankly, that professor class had a bias toward welcoming them in. That’s how Bill Ayers and his wife, Bernadine Dohrn, worked. Here they are. Smiling commies with their red stars. Totally accepted in the Obama network.

Never forget, The Weatherman and 60s radicals all grew up wealthy. Ayer’s father was the CEO of Commonwealth Edison. They have trust funds and generational wealth to rely on. President FDR was the same. They won’t part with it, but they are happy to take yours.

It took a couple of generations via taking over the public and private school system, but we have a lot of people out there who do not understand capitalism and think America is a racist country with a flawed founding.

They are easily persuaded to communism, socialism, or whatever you want to call it.

No amount of data can get them out of their confirmation bias.

Well, there is one bit of data that will convince them of the evils of socialism, but that is the end game, when they are lined up against a wall and shot for being enemies of the state. That is the unavoidable result of the ignorance that is engulfing the West. As Marx himself said:

When our turn comes, we shall make no excuse for the terror

So where will patriotic Democrats go, now that the hard left of their party is subsuming the rest of them?

The center of the Democratic Party is gone. It’s over for people like Senator Fetterman. There are no Danny Rostenkowskis, Scoop Jacksons, or Tip O’ Neills. Rahm Emanuel is running around the country trying to save it but he was the butler who helped usher in the communists as Obama’s Chief of Staff.

The answer is that they will support the obscenity of the Democratic Socialist wing because the political philosophy of the Democrat party is simply a prettier version of Stalin’s…the lust for power is all-encompassing, and mainstream Democrats will hold their noses and continue to vote for what can only end in Gulags and concentration camps and wholesale murder and death.

 

They seem nice!
