"It's not the people who vote that count, it's the people who count the votes." ~(attributed to Joseph Stalin)
The United States has entered a period of unprecedented danger. Our enemies are not merely at the gates. They have entered in force. Never have we seen insurrectionists in our education system, corporate entities, the media, the government, both state and federal in such numbers.
There has been an operation in progress so massive and so hideous, across borders, as to cause disbelief for even students of political intrigue.
Because of deliberate Democrat policies promoting open borders, we have no clue as to who has entered our country, whether they be spies, political operatives, military saboteurs, or hardened criminals. These same Democrats have declared war on their country, defending their illegal aliens, even the most callous criminals, to an extreme degree.
There is no philanthropy in the Dems' immigration polices. They rely on illegal immigrants to achieve their objectives. Their aim is to fundamentally change America and recruit new voters to further and sustain that agenda. They no longer believe in democracy, which they so ardently proclaim. Any method to achieve that ambition has become acceptable.
Books have been written as to the conduct of the 2020 election, allowing a man who neither had the intellect nor mental acuity to become president of the United States. Unwilling to allow an honest election, Obama and his comrades used a CIA computer with nefarious software to alter votes at the transfer point. It was embarrassing to all Americans to see Biden in front of the world unable to speak with any acuity or mental dexterity or merely navigate his way off a stage. But he was there for the purpose of achieving policy goals without discernment on his part. He was merely a puppet...treason.
Tighten your seatbelts.
Since Adam and Eve, people have always stolen and committed fraud, but it is now commonplace. The level of digital election fraud we see in America and around the world has its genesis from the 2000 election between George W. Bush and Al Gore. The hanging chads in Florida and the examination of ballots under a microscope to determine how far the chad was pushed out are key examples. It gave rise to machines… moving from a paper count to a digital record.
That election gave rise to HAVA, the Help America Vote Act. Billions of dollars went into modernizing elections using machines. Cyber experts repeatedly warned that any digital record can be manipulated, but to no avail. We were drawn to the technology.
Two years later in Venezuela, Hugo Chavez faced a referendum and was trailing in the polls. Fidel Castro advised him to use voting machines and hire software engineers to write software that could manipulate the results. They did. Three young engineers from Simon Bolivar University wrote the software. Voting machines were not yet developed, so they used Olivetti lottery machines along with the software developed by those engineers.
President Carter famously monitored the election and proclaimed it the safest, most secure election in history. Chavez stole the election… from people who had no idea how to verify the results for accuracy or fraud.
Throughout the 2000s, the software was refined. Venezuela and Cuba persuaded several countries in South America to adopt the machines, aiming to promote communism in Nicaragua, Bolivia, and Argentina. Their efforts were successful.
The Chinese watched South America closely and decided to get in on the steal, but in America. They started a company in Florida called Smartmatic and then began looking for election contracts. To make it easier, they purchased a company, already in the election business, called Sequoia.
In 2007, California hired experts from MIT to look at the software to determine if it was legitimate (Gov Schwarzenegger). Their result was that the software looked to them more like a process to steal elections.
The software was so enticing, so tempting, that it was not destroyed. It was used by the unscrupulous all over the world who value power as the ultimate aphrodisiac, the forbidden fruit.
After getting contracts, one of the earliest elections they managed was the 2008 Illinois, Democrat presidential primary... Obama vs. Hillary Clinton. It was 'arranged' that Obama would win the primary. He did. (See Stolen Elections, Ralph Pezzulo & ghostwriters for obvious reasons).
Hugo Chavez bragged to his bodyguard that he was going to elect the first African American to the White House.
Smartmatic and Sequoia began getting contracts all over America.
This same Venezuelan software has been used in practically every state and in many parts of the world.
The U.S. and Treasury conducted various investigations of Smartmatic. The result was that Smartmatic conducted a deceptive sale of the company to obscure its ownership and liability. The last time such a sale occurred was in 2025, when authority was sold to Dominion, which is now known as Liberty Vote. Smartmatic has been buried in investigations and legal maneuvering.
People close to this violent cartel have been murdered when attempting to go public.
The lesson here, of course, is that election machines can and are being manipulated. As President Trump has stated numerous times, the most honest and secure election occurs when people cast paper ballots only on Election Day, with no mail-in voting except for absentee ballots with restrictions. But who is listening? The media, the Democrat Party, and even the universities have turned a blind eye.
To believe that our elections for every government seat are honest is to believe that Oswald was a lone gunman, 9/11 was caused by crazed Lutherans, or that the Covid vaccines are safe and effective. Trump has been a voice crying in the wilderness.
The media, including Fox News and Newsmax, have totally accepted the results of the recent midterm elections. They haven't even asked one question. Why? We are expected to believe that 20 million new Democrat voters suddenly materialized out of nowhere in just the last two years. Or in an alternate universe, believe that an unknown Democrat candidate for governor in Texas won the governorship without campaigning, or that 92% of counties in America suddenly turned blue with every county in Texas turning blue, or that the Republican vote dropped by 15% in almost every election in the country despite different candidates and different races.
At the beginning of the Trump 47 administration, Trump asked every state, both red and blue, to share their voter rolls so they could scrub them against the DHS files of illegal aliens to remove those illegal aliens from the voter rolls. Every blue state rejected the request and sued the federal government.
The Democrat Party wants to go even further and destroy the Electoral College, denying representation to every smaller state.
My great fear is that we have entered Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s Theory of Stupidity. Pastor Bonhoeffer was a prisoner during the Nazi regime and couldn't understand why decent, educated people joined in the malice toward Christians and Jews created by the Nazis. He argued that malice can be fought with force, but stupidity is a passive surrender. In the strong desire to belong, people can be manipulated into accepting evil and be impervious to reason and logic because they were infected with a social disease; they stopped thinking and surrendered themselves to groupthink.
We refuse to come to terms with the election process in America. Many nations have abandoned the technology. States that conduct their elections are married to their shiny machines; they know nothing about the machines purchased from a violent cartel, similar to drug cartels. These machines and permissive voting laws will never give us an honest election.
The blue states are currently engaging in insurrection. Power is a potent drug.
Until the people of the United States demand their vote be returned, we will continue ceasing to be a democratically elected constitutional republic.
