Facebook Co-Founder: “Good Chance Of Major Internet Attack” On Election Day
vesselnews ^ | 30 Oct 2016

Facebook’s co-founder and former Chief Technology Officer tweeted their worries Sunday evening that the election Nov. 8 could be disrupted by a major internet attack.

Adam D’Angelo, former CTO of Facebook, tweeted out Sunday that there is a “Good chance of major internet attack Nov 8th. Many groups have the ability and incentive. Maps outage alone could easily skew the election.”

D’Angelo warned his followers to make sure they have all the materials necessary to vote without access to an internet connection. D’Angelo recommended, for example, that people print out directions to voting locations and to vote early, if they can.

Very easy to solve: don’t put election related machines on the public internet.

Nonsense? There was an attack a few days ago that knocked out access for most of the east coast.

Many people won’t be able to find their polling locations without internet access.

So the Globalist are going to shut down the Internet so we can’t communicate.

It’s amazing how we have all these problems as soon as Obama hands the Internet over to the United Nations.

This, to me, says that they need to “bank” votes now before the next major bomb drops so that those votes can’t be changed. The internet attack is an effort to get the D’s to the polls now.

Not sure. Voting places sometimes change and many people might be voting for the first time.

Very easy to solve: don’t put election related machines on the public internet.

The main problem would be the digital communications between local/state-level locations and the national-level people who are on the receiving end. This has become so sophisticated, we can now sit online and watch the vote results come in 2000 miles away in another state, precinct by precinct.

If there was an internet crash, I'm wondering how would all the precincts get their results sent to their destination (wherever that is)? It sounds like a great excuse and/or cover to null out the election, or whatever else these evil people may do to stay out of jail.

It’s not going to null the election. Stop hyperventilating. Internet has not been around that long, how do you think precincts reported in oh, 1990?

Ok, you know what? It's late, I'm tired, and I happen to like you, Ray, so I'm going to be very nice here.

Go reread my statement and kindly point out how you read my casual observation of the potential motivations of HRC/BHO to stay out of prison by faking an internet "outage," and then misinterpreted that as someone who is "hyperventilating."

You're an older gentleman, if I'm remembering correctly? So I'll say this very politely and super sweet... Check yourself; don't wreck yourself.

Now go gnaw on some prunes or something and leave Nita alone. :-)
