https://substack.com/home/post/p-165658733That revelation is a shock to the public.
But for those whove been digging into the bizarre election data since November, this isnt the headlineits the final piece to the puzzle. While Pro V&V was quietly updating equipment in plain sight, a parallel operation was unfolding behind the curtainbetween tech giants and Donald Trump.
And it started with a long forgotten sale.
A Power Cord Becomes a Backdoor
In March 2021, Leonard Leothe judicial kingmaker behind the modern conservative legal machinesold a quiet Chicago company by the name of Tripp Lite for $1.65 billion. The buyer: Eaton Corporation, a global power infrastructure conglomerate that just happened to have a partnership with Peter Thiels Palantir.
To most, Tripp Lite was just a hardware brandbattery backups, surge protectors, power strips. But in Americas elections, Tripp Lite devices were something else entirely.
They are physically connected to ES&S central tabulators and Electionware servers, and Dominion tabulators and central servers across the country. And they arent dumb devices. They are smart UPS unitsprogrammable, updatable, and capable of communicating directly with the election system via USB, serial port, or Ethernet.

(2,446 posts)I have had my doubts about this whole thing from the beginning. So what happens if Trump indeed cheated (no surprise)? I think things are going to start unravelling quickly, assuming this indeed holds out.

(5,910 posts)Well, when we were digging into how trump "beat" Hillary, they told us nothing could happen. It was covered under the constitution and a whole bunch of other "reasons." We'd just have to deal with it, since the election was over. But, Hillary was female. That always puts a "sorry, but..." on the end of any issue.
I'd like to see this not only take out trump, but also some of these techgods. I think we (as a country) and maybe a few other first world countries need to step back away from the high tech until such a time when there are restraints, oversight, and understanding of the tech by even the most luddite among the people.
I'm not a luddite, tho the tech today sometimes makes me feel that way! After getting my degree in Psych, I ended up with a career in technology, over 40 years worth of time. From the beginnings to the endings of what was a great opening for common people with a brain or a knack. I'm not against tech, but I am against anything done with the motto of break first, fix it later. Especially with technology, there are too many ways for the industry to hurt people in nearly every facet of their lives. And so much of the harm and damage can be hidden. That's what needs to be given highest concern now.
Most of us had a feeling that all those mini satellites of Musk had something to do with the way the election went down. I'm flabbergasted that the whole thing could have started with a "smart" power cord?! I hope to follow this story and learn more... cause right now, a company that got my money via power strips being at the start of stripping Americans of the value of our votes is flabbergasting.

(40,484 posts)Yes, they use electronic voting machines, but not for all voting. For example, some of the European countries do electronic voting but only for expatriates.
It was about 10 months ago that I did this research but I do recall concluding that we are fools for allowing electronic voting machines to do all our voting. Other countries do not do this, particularly European countries.
We need to look at who owns stock in these voting machine companies.
on edit: I think we've earned sizable creds from the demonstrations/rallies this weekend. We should act now to demand changes in how we actually vote.

(3,948 posts)Pushing this theory undermines faith in our elections and depresses voter turnout. Put energy into motivating 90 million non voters. They have no reason to vote when we tell them the election was rigged. When a Democratic Secretary of State, Attorney General, or Governor makes it an issue things will be different. We wont defeat them by becoming them.

(5,910 posts)which is one of the main excuses to push this aside by our PTB. But, if done correctly and being persistent about it, it could also build back our faith in voting. This is just one avenue of life that we've allowed republicans to coopt. Frankly, I'm ready to start pulling some of this important stuff back, really dig in and learn what's going on, and... instead of keeping it secret from the American people like most politicians want to do... TRUST us with the truth and bring us in on fixing it.
I mean... what a concept... We the People working with our representatives on building our country back up?

(11,784 posts)Trump said "I'm NOT a Christian." He even used hand gestures emphasizing the "NOT".
Everyone reports it as if he said "I'm a Christian" because they think he made a minor error. They wouldn't have let Biden get away with that. But it seems Nazis and pedos can say anything and people will just pretend they didn't hear it.
Mblaze
(597 posts)I can understand why you might think that he said "I'm not Christian" as it was a slightly strangled word he used but I think he did say "I'm a Christian". Besides, he has claimed to be Christian over and over again over the years. Thanks.
Farmer-Rick
(11,784 posts)And the head movement. He said NOT and emphasized it with body movements. I heard it and so did many Christians who got upset by it. But then people came out and said oh no, he didn't say that. I know what I heard. It was clear as day
It was the one time the antichrist let down his mask and everyone pretended they didn't notice.
Yeah, he may have made a mistake but would Biden have been allowed to get away with saying that? They would have had a fit if Obama ever made a slip like that.
But Nazis and pedos can say anything they want and nobody cares.

(6,643 posts)I kept up the pressure, sending emails to senators and representatives, asking about who was going to keep an eye on the things Republicans were claiming were done to Trump in 2020, because that was exactly what they were going to do to steal this election and was told "We're on it."
But no one was on it. Democrats thought that complaining about inaccuracies and suppression would give too much credibility to republican claims that 2020 was stolen. Perfect cover, huh? Complain and whine and tell the other stide how you're going to steal an election by claiming how the one you lost was stolen.
We got snookered.

(98,254 posts)It was all over DU much info is in the DU Archives. I stored a lot as I learned, but that is all in a by-now obsolete computer.
Our presidential elections are all a GOP lie Al Gore, Hillary Clinton, and Kamala Harris none of them truly lost their elections.
The question is, as it always has been: what now?
Farmer-Rick
(11,784 posts)We've known they been stealing elections since W stole the election. They have just gotten better at it.
What now? How long are we going to allow non elected idiots to be president for years while we suffer?
Linda ladeewolf
(939 posts)Not us old farts who are surprised they could do this. Im not all that tech savvy, but Ive learned a lot listening to the younger ones On Reddit and other web sites. This is all entirely probable. Most of the senators and representatives that we have in our party still operate on the premise that the other side isnt actually doing what they are doing and that they can reach across the isle and work together. We need to rebuild the party from the bottom up. And fast.
We need desperately to enact methods of enforcement for the corrupt at every level of government. Methods of punishment that cant be circumvented by any legal means.

(448 posts)Check out Zero Day. Cool documentary about the guys at Symantec who first noticed it. The compilation "actress" of all the whistle blowers is amazing. Watched it a couple times, but I'm a sucker for a good documentary
Peace,

(11,357 posts)This goes beyond the well-documented suppression that has corrupted election after election.
Trump lost. Voter suppression won.

And now evidence of actual tampering.
I'm investigating where EFF is on this. They've been good about compiling actionable evidence in the past.
