Breaking Down This Year’s Election Process

A Conversation with an Election Expert: Breaking Down This Year’s Election Process

I need to be able to access every PC or server in the world to break or brick it, to spy on it; No problem, Mr. President, Restricted Boot will do that

2026-11-03 Intercontinental Brigading - Part XXIX - Undermining US Election While Engaging in Lawfare in England (BBC) Against Publishers That Cover Anti-Election Violence

Today there are US elections and this is Part 30. This past week we also learned that fake security long advocated through Microsoft-controlled 'attestation' is in fact broken and has been broken all along (16 years).

This problem is not new. But it is particularly relevant today. I've warned against this for 1.5 decades and as a result I've received death threats and someone in America is trying to convince the British government to put my wife in prison. It's a distraction from his own actions. Typical DARVO.

If you vote today, and more so if you cast a vote electronically (or it gets registered digitally), remember that the dictator - not FEC - is in control of the process along with his unqualified goons who are selected based on their loyalty (to an insurrectionist). Also remember that a decade ago Democrats accused Russia (or Putin/Kremlin/Moscow/FSB) of breaking into voting machines. This is still feasible. Those things are not designed for security.

Anyone can easily guess that "humanitarian" Putin prefers Cheeto in the White House.

Thankfully here in the UK we typically still vote with paper and pencil. █
