UNCOVERED: Conman With Long History of Deceit, Dennis Montgomery, Inserted False Information Into Election Fraud Investigation, Who’s Paying Him?

Gateway Pundit ^ | 02/12/2021 | Joe Hoft

[SeekAndFind]

To our disgust, we confirmed earlier this week that information was inserted into the 2020 election fraud narrative to sidetrack and defraud the effort to uncover the fraud. The man behind this false information is a huckster with a long track record of deceit, Dennis Montgomery.

Earlier this week, Larry Johnson at the Gateway Pundit, reported that Dennis Montgomery was behind an operation to insert false narratives into the 2020 election fraud investigation.

Larry Johnson: A Closer Look at the Hammer and Scorecard – UPDATED

Some readers were upset hearing Larry’s news. One comment was that there was more support for the ‘Hammer and Scorecard’ than Russia collusion. This is a good point since the Russia collusion hoax was a big lie that the Democrats and the Big Media are still pushing to this day.

Because the FBI, DOJ, and other federal and state agencies refused to look into the massive fraud in the 2020 election or were part of it, individuals outside of the government have had to dig into the data and events to uncover the mountains of fraud surrounding the election stolen from President Trump.

Together a relatively small group of patriots has uncovered mountains of real fraud and crimes that occurred in the 2020 election (e.g. cars dropping off late-night ballots after the election is over, ballots counted without poll watchers present, machines flipping votes to Biden, lack of documentation on millions of absentee ballots, etc.). All of this leads to an election that was stolen through fraud on a massive scale.

We have enough already to overturn this election. However, we don’t have the courts or legislatures with the courage to address this massive fraud to date. (Everyone knows the election was stolen.)

Unfortunately, hucksters like Dennis Montgomery have inserted garbage data into the narrative in an attempt to discredit the fraud investigations and related crimes. We don’t know who’s paying him.

Montgomery was behind data that made it into the hands of some of the top individuals who are fighting for President Trump. Montgomery claimed to prove that President Trump won the election based on his data. (We believe the election was stolen but Montgomery’s data doesn’t prove it.)

Yaacov Apelbaum looked at Montgomery’s data and shared these observations:

1. Many of the source and destination IP addresses don’t match the locations specified in the location description
2. Some of the company/entity names don’t match the assigned geo locations
3. The “SOURCE OWNER” column uses DBA names for companies instead of the actual legal name, which is what you would get if you did an actual low-level IP to organization resolution
4. All of the destinations are protected with firewalls, so, the “INTRUSION METHOD” referencing the word “FIREWALL” is meaningless. From the limited attack vocabulary its obvious that whoever wrote this isn’t familiar with actual cyber offensive operations
5. The DATE column is missing a time zone data. The odd distribution pattern of date-time stamps also strongly suggests that they are nonorganic and were produced using some sort of a cyclic function with a random number generator
6. Some of the records are incomplete, for example, one row states that “TRUMP: DOWN 44,905”, but it failed to add the a “Y” under the corresponding “SUCCESS” column
7. The tabs on the spreadsheet show that the titles were created manually (“Sheet 1” vs. “Sheet1”), which is unlikely if this data came from an automated process
8. The values in the fields titled “SOURCE ID” and “TARGET ID”, which have a MAC address format were most likely created with a random number generator. A sampling of these MAC addresses yielded no results of known network card manufacturers

Montgomery’s efforts have paid off in the past as he lives in a multi-million dollar home.

Yaacov shares:

It’s not entirely clear who paid Montgomery to forge the data and promote this fabrication. Motivation wise, It could be just another con and money-making venture, but, it’s also possible that it’s a political gambit that is designed to kill any real discussion about potential election fraud.

The far-left Daily Beast knew a lot about Montgomery already on November 9th and reported on Montgomery to debunk the entire election fraud narrative:

The election fraud claims center on Dennis Montgomery, a former intelligence contractor and self-proclaimed whistleblower who claims to have created the “Hammer” supercomputer and the “Scorecard” software some Trump fans believe was used to change the votes…

…What Trump allies tend to leave out, however, is that Montgomery has a long history of making outlandish claims that fail to come true. As an intelligence contractor at the height of the War on Terror, Montgomery was behind what’s been called “one of the most elaborate and dangerous hoaxes in American history,” churning out allegedly fictitious data that once prompted the Bush administration to consider shooting down airplanes…

…As of 2011, Montgomery was fighting Nevada charges for writing bad checks worth $1.8 million at casinos. The Daily Beast was unable to determine the ultimate disposition of those charges…

…Montgomery resurfaced in 2013, as a “confidential informant” for controversial Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

Montgomery reportedly swindled good Sheriff Joe Arpaio out of more than $100,000.

Anything connected to Dennis Montgomery is suspect based on what is known about this guy. The real question is who is backing this huckster or is he on his own?

[Fido969]

There was a lot of white noise about election fraud spread after the election, much of it laughable. Almost every kookie theory was embraced and broadcast on FR.

It distracted from the real fraud, and a few methods that would have helped prove it.

MORE FROM THE INVESTIGATION MADE BY LARRY JOHNSON

If you have been led to believe that Hammer and Scorecard were used to steal the election for Joe Biden, I regret to inform you that claim is suspect. This does not mean I am siding with RINOS like Romney and Barr, who deny that there was any fraud. That too is false. Donald Trump was robbed, he did not lose the election.

So far, there is significant circumstantial evidence of unusual amounts of internet traffic between foreign locations and the United States. But we do not have any tangible, verifiable evidence showing votes being switched via a command or intervention from a foreign server. Investigations continue to ferret out what happened and these efforts may produce such proof. What we do know with certainty is that there were unusually large numbers of adjudicated ballots in a few key counties, that there was ballot stuffing, that counterfeit ballots were counted and that the Dominion voting machines in Antrim County, Michigan failed to accurately record the actual number of votes for Donald Trump.

This brings me to the Mary Fanning segment in the Michael Lindell produced video, ABSOLUTE PROOF. Mary Fanning claims to have evidence that foreign servers, including locations in China and Iran, were changing vote totals in specific counties. Unfortunately, she has not published any of this alleged evidence. You just have to trust her. But I dug into the information she is relying on and learned that her source is Dennis Montgomery.

Montgomery has a checkered past:

Montgomery’s software claims were reportedly responsible for a false terror alert which grounded international flights and caused Department of Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge to raise the government’s security level.^[9] In February 2006, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and U.S. Air Force office of Special Investigations opened an economic espionage and theft of intellectual property investigation into Montgomery and Blxware.^[10]

In court papers filed in Los Angeles, a former lawyer for Montgomery calls the software designer a “habitual liar engaged in fraud.” Last June Montgomery was charged in Las Vegas with bouncing nine checks (totaling $1 million) in September 2008 and was arrested on a felony warrant in Rancho Mirage, California. That million is only a portion of what he lost to five casinos in Nevada and California in just one year. That’s according to his federal bankruptcy filing, where he reported personal debts of $12 million. The FBI has investigated him, and some of his own co-workers say he staged phony demonstrations of military technology for the U.S. government.

According to Mary Fanning:

The HAMMER has been a tool of foreign surveillance until February 2009, at which time Brennan and Clapper commandeered it and turned it against America by transforming the Hammer into an illegal domestic surveillance tool. . . .

One of THE HAMMER’s applications, an election cyberwarefare weapon known as SCORECARD.

But Fanning is wrong. The real domestic surveillance tool was revealed in the summer of 2013 by Edward Snowden. NSA developed a massive array of domestic surveillance tools and it was used on Americans well before 2009. One of the most alarming is called XKEYSCORE. Snowden describes it at length in his autobiography:

“The program that enabled this access was called XKEYSCORE, which is perhaps best understood as a search engine that lets an analyst search through all the records of your life. Imagine a kind of Google that instead of showing pages from the public Internet returns results from your private email, your private chats, your private files, everything. Though I’d read enough about the program to understand how it worked, I hadn’t yet used it, and I realized I ought to know more about it. By pursuing XKEYSCORE, I was looking for a personal confirmation of the depths of the NSA’s surveillance intrusions—the kind of confirmation you don’t get from documents but only from direct experience.”

“The NSA described XKEYSCORE, in the documents I’d later pass on to journalists, as its “widest-ranging” tool, used to search “nearly everything a user does on the Internet.” The technical specs I studied went into more detail as to how exactly this was accomplished—by “packetizing” and “sessionizing,” or cutting up the data of a user’s online sessions into manageable packets for analysis—but nothing could prepare me for seeing it in action.

It was, simply put, the closest thing to science fiction I’ve ever seen in science fact: an interface that allows you to type in pretty much anyone’s address, telephone number, or IP address, and then basically go through the recent history of their online activity. In some cases you could even play back recordings of their online sessions, so that the screen you’d be looking at was their screen, whatever was on their desktop. You could read their emails, their browser history, their search history, their social media postings, everything. You could set up notifications that would pop up when some person or some device you were interested in became active on the Internet for the day. And you could look through the packets of Internet data to see a person’s search queries appear letter by letter, since so many sites transmitted each character as it was typed. It was like watching an autocomplete, as letters and words flashed across the screen. ”

Excerpt From: Edward Snowden. “Permanent Record.” Apple Books. https://books.apple.com/us/book/permanent-record/id1475055562

But this fact has not deterred Fanning from crediting Montgomery as being the whistleblower who revealed this dark secret. Montgomery did no such thing. That credit (or blame, depending on your point of view) rests with Edward Snowden.

Which brings me back to Mary Fanning’s information in the Mike Lindell video. Here is the image of Fanning’s data:

This appears quite impressive and, if true, damning. How was this obtained? I cannot think of a legal way such intelligence could be obtained by a private citizen. Was it leaked by someone in the NSA? Did Dennis grab it using classified tools he is not legally entitled to possess? Was this provided by someone tied to a foreign government intelligence service? Or, is it fabricated?

I certainly understand why Mike Lindell could be taken in by this kind of material. It is alluring. But to establish this as evidence we need some very specific questions answered:

1. How was it collected? It appears a node that only the NSA or CIA has was employed to capture and identify activities specifically targeting county election centers across the United States. I am not aware of any private company with the capability to collect and sort this kind of data without access to a classified system.
2. Were the people producing this information using SCORECARD? If so, that is another redflag. It was collected illegally and CANNOT be used as evidence in a court case. This is a very important point. For evidence to be admissible in either a civil or criminal action, you must show chain of custody and must be able to defend against any challenge that the information was obtained outside legal channels.
3. Why are the Date/Time groups not in chronological order?
4. Why hasn’t the data been sorted by State and County? As I noted in my previous post, if you are going to argue that specific votes in specific counties and precincts were changed electronically, then any analyst worth their salt would aggregate the data by State and County. Thanks to the great work by Michigan lawyer DePerno, we have the numbers for Antrim. If Mary Fanning’s data is sound, it should confirm what DePerno found. That has not happened. At least not to my knowledge (and I know someone who spoke with DePerno today and he has seen no such data).

The key to beating the lie that there was no election fraud is evidence–documentary, electronic and eye witness. The fact that Dennis Montgomery, according to Mary Fanning, is at the heart of this worries me.

UPDATE—

Some of the Gateway Pundit community is quite upset with me for pointing out some not so obvious flaws and shortcomings in Mike Lindell’s recent video, ABSOLUTE PROOF. I have written repeatedly that I believe firmly that the 2020 Presidential election was stolen from Donald Trump. But this has to be proven with evidence that will stand up in court. That is why I am raising legitimate questions and concerns about Mary Fanning’s contribution to the Mike Lindell project. If you promise, Absolute Proof, then you better deliver absolute proof.

I decided to ask Yaacov Apelbaum for help in assessing the Mary Fanning data. Yaacov Apelbaum, CEO of XRVISION, is well known to regular readers of TGP having played a critical role in exposing frauds, identifying terrorists and uncovering key data from the Hunter Biden laptop.

Here is what Yaacov observed:

1. The data is not sorted. That would be virtually impossible for any select output statement that created the file.
2. Many of the IP addresses do not match the source and target locations specified.
3. Some of the company/entity names don’t match the location specified.
4. The document uses DBA names for companies instead of the actual legal name, which is what you would get if you did an actual IP-> organization resolution.
5. All of the destinations are protected with firewalls, so, the “INTRUSION METHOD” referencing the word “FIREWALL” is meaningless. Also, from the limited attack vocabulary it obvious that whoever wrote this is not familiar with actual cyber offensive operations.
6. Source date format is incomplete and is missing the time zone
7. Some of the records are incomplete, for example row 24 states that “TRUMP: DOWN 44,905”, but failed to add the “Y” entry under the “SUCCESS” column
8. The tabs on the spreadsheet show that the titles were created manually (“Sheet 1” vs. “Sheet1”), which is unlikely if this date came from an automated process
9. The values in the field titled “TARGET ID”, which have the format of a MAC address, were most likely created with a random number generator. A sampling of some of these numbers yielded no results

Sampling of inconsistencies:

Image 1: One of the sources for the alleged attack, an entity called “SHENZHEN SUNRISE TECHNOLOGY CO.,LTD. 200”, is a Hong Kong based company, but, it shows up with 157 different IP address different ranges in the Beijing area.

Image 2: “LA PAZ COUNTY CELECTIONS” shows up in two different states with two different IP addresses

Image 3: The IP address of the Michigan Alcona county target is both 3.134.56.143 (Columbus, Ohio) and 107.180.25.0 (Ashburn, Virginia)

I am not trying to harm nor divert attention away from proving the fraud in the 2020 election. I want to make sure we have the right information in order to make the strongest, most persuasive case. We cannot afford to rely on unreliable information.

[Beowulf9]

Seems there is no end to liars who sell out their country for a buck these days.

[RummyChick]

there are still people here that really believe there was a shoot out at a server farm in germany.

btw, has Dominion sued L Lin Wood yet?

[SeekAndFind]

RE: There was a lot of white noise about election fraud spread after the election, much of it laughable. Almost every kookie theory was embraced and broadcast on FR.

The point is to learn to be very reasonably skeptical of any “evidence” that purports to show how the election was rigged. If something presented is too good to be true, it probably is.

This segment from Mike Lindell’s film, ABSOLUTE PROOF, that purports to show foreign election intrusion via the timestamped source IP Address and Target IP Address as presented by Mary Fanning is one of those “too good to be true” data that needed to be vetted. I knew that the data was suspect when the film never introduced Mary Fanning’s background and HOW she gathered the information she presented.

[SeekAndFind]

RE: btw, has Dominion sued L Lin Wood yet?

Dominion has sued Sidney Powell. I believe Lin Wood is acting as her lawyer.

[RummyChick]

That doesn’t mean he can’t be sued.

So....

Why hasn’t he been sued?

[HollyB]

Let me get this straight. He presents himself as an ally with information.
However, the information is not true, therefore discrediting everything involved - far beyond his info.

Is he motivated by $ or to hurt Trump?

[MHGinTN]

The anti-American stench of the brennanesque see eye aee is rising.

[SeekAndFind]

RE: Is he motivated by $ or to hurt Trump?

Hence, the question in the title of this article — Who’s Paying Him?

[ETCM]

The same guy who conned Sheriff Joe? The same guy who claimed to decode secret Al Qaeda messages in Al Jazeera broadcasts? A well known con man who has been involved in numerous conspiracy theories, and everyone was tripping over themselves to call him credible. Any media outlet that accepted his crap without due diligence is guilty of journalistic malpractice. Hammer and Scorecard, Dominion, Scytle, Italy fixing the election via satellite, CIA vs Mil gun battles, etc, etc. People will believe anything.

[lowbridge]

Bump

[greeneyes]

Typical CIA/DS get various people to tell half true stories, so that the real story can simply be dismissed by pointing to the untrue parts.

Dennis Montgomery had some sort of interaction going on with Arpaio, and I think it was decided eventually that he was playing them. Bill Binney when asked did not vouch for Montgomery, but said merely that his claims should be investigated. That was way before this election.

Montgomery did work for the CIA for a while. I don’t trust him, but I also don’t know how much of what he says is true and how much is just a bunch of lies.

[ptsal]

Where is Art Bell when we need him?

[sauropod]

Study

[Basket_of_Deplorables]

Yes. Montgomery is a con man and fools a lot of people, unfortunately including many here on FR.

FR has turned into Qook land over the last 2 years.

[greeneyes]

I don’t know. I have heard of him, but have never listened to any of his stuff. Is he even still alive?

[Hostage]

Montgomery doesn’t matter. Powell, Wood, Gen Flynn, others steered clear of him.

The hacking is not the main battle. Access to the physical paper ballots is the real battle. For those following the stonewalling by Maricopa County is all that one needs to know that the election was stolen. Arguments about Dominion and its similar operators are for now a distraction.

[SeekAndFind]

RE: Montgomery doesn’t matter. Powell, Wood, Gen Flynn, others steered clear of him.

Unfortunately, Mike Lindell’s film, ABSOLUTE PROOF refers to Mary Fanning, whose data apparently was sourced from Montgomery. This is a huge embarrassment to the film’s credibility.
