For General Flynn and anyone else who believes that an Italian IT guy hacked the US elections from Germany through “Fucino Tower”

Latest update: 2021/01/09 15:45. Una traduzione italiana è disponibile qui.

Quick summary for new readers:

This started as a quick post/tweet that I wrote initially as a reply to General Flynn’s tweet claiming that Italy stole the US elections, and it has since expanded considerably. Here’s Flynn’s tweet (subsequently deleted by Twitter’s removal of his account:

“We must stand up for truth and call for a full investigation”

Another piece of the foreign interference puzzle. The viability of our constitution & our country are at risk.

Italy did it - Arturo D'Elia Admits to stealing election
on https://t.co/DKGSVVqNvx via @YouTube
— General Flynn (@GenFlynn) January 7, 2021

This claim is essentially based on this photograph of an alleged “affidavit” provided by a Prof. Alfio D’Urso, “Advocate/Lawyer” in Catania, Italy, which claims (without evidence) that an Italian IT guy named Arturo D’Elia switched US election data “from significant margin of victory for Donald Trump to Joe Biden” by using “military grade cyber warfare encryption capabilities to transmit switched votes via military satellite of Fucino Tower to Frankfurt Germany”:

[Image of "affidavit" omitted.]

There actually is a lawyer named Alfio D’Urso whose office address is in Via Vittorio Emanuele, in the city of Catania, Italy (source; source). His details can be found by entering his surname (without the initial D) in this registry of Italian lawyers. However, the office street number is missing from the “affidavit”. Does anyone think that a real lawyer would get his own office address wrong in such an important legal document?

By the way, assuming that the Alfio D’Urso mentioned in the “affidavit” is the same Alfio D’Urso whose office actually is in Via Vittorio Emanuele in Catania at number 5, it’s worth taking a look at the location in Google Street View. This is supposed to be the front door of the lawyer who is handling such a world-changing deposition? Seriously?

[image omitted - "It’s the slightly underwhelming front door opposite the van."]

[image omitted - "A closeup, from another angle, of the plaque, which says “Studio legale D’Urso”.]

A man named Arturo D’Elia does exist, and he actually did work for Leonardo SpA. He was arrested in late December 2020 for stealing military project data in Italy a few years ago (Reuters via Swissinfo). Of course, that in no way proves that he hacked the US elections. Or even that it’s the same person.

There are many more indications that suggest that this “affidavit” is simply made up by plucking vaguely relevant places and names from Google but without any real knowledge of the places and people involved or of how legal procedures work in Italy. You'll find them below, in my (slightly edited and updated) reply to General Flynn:

Hello sir, I'm Italian. To put it briefly and in the most technically accurate words I can find, this is the finest grade of bullshit.

It's a photograph of unknown origin, of a document written on plain paper (whereas all Italian legal documents are on legal paper and stamped a million times or at least on letterhead). If you believe *that* at face value, may I interest you in the Trevi Fountain? Fine specimen, one careful owner: the guy on the right.

[image omitted]

[In case you don’t catch the reference: the guy is Italian comedian Totò, in a classic Italian comedy movie called Totò truffa '62. In the movie he is a con man who sells the world-famous Trevi Fountain, in Rome, to a highly gullible tourist]

The "affidavit" mentions a "military satellite of Fucino Tower", which is not a thing that exists (neither the satellite, nor the tower).

Also, that's not how US votes are counted. The tallies do not go through Germany.

As an Italian, the idea that some IT guy in Italy hacked the *entire* US voting system, and did so under the NSA's nose, is simply *hilarious*.

Italians are rolling on the floor laughing at this tale. Ah, yes, the ever gullible Americans. Do you read Italian? Have at it: there's even a LITERAL FLAT-EARTHER site involved in this.

The video you linked claims that Mr Matteo Renzi was involved in this amazing operation. Just so you know, THIS is Mr Renzi. The alleged mastermind:

Sir, if you seriously believe that the US election system can be hacked in Germany by an Italian techie from a place that doesn't exist, in a plot orchestrated by a guy who can't even pronounce "because", then it clearly doesn't take much to be a general in the US.

Google Translate, original in Italian

ItalyDidIt - The lawyer's certification

... but let's not say bullshit

08 Jan 2021 - maicolengel butac

Affidavit image

You have reported to us an image that is becoming popular on social networks along with the hashtag #italydidit. We refer to the news dealt yesterday morning, which spoke of the Leonardo satellite exploited to illegally move the electronic vote of the Americans from Trump to Biden.

The image that circulates is the one you saw above.

An "affidavit" signed by Prof. Avv. Alfio D'Urso where it is claimed, without bringing any evidence to support the thesis, that a certain Arturo D'Elia would be responsible for Biden's victory, since he would be the technician who hacked the Leonardo satellite to manipulate the vote. We are in the ABCs of disinformation: a lawyer of a certain age has been hired and a testimony that uses real names to tell an incredible story has been signed. Here is the text in Italian:

SWORN DECLARATION BY PROFESSOR LAWYER ALFIO D'URSO

SATELLITE LEONARDO USED TO PASS VOTES FROM TRUMP TO BIDEN

Lazio Region1, Prof. Alfio D'Urso, Lawyer, of Via Vittorio Emanuele, Catania 9513I, Italy, provides the following account of the facts as communicated in several meetings with a security services officer high-level army: Arturo D'Elia, former head of the IT Department of Leonardo SpA, was accused by the Naples Public Prosecutor's Office for manipulating technological data and implanting viruses in the main computers of Leonardo SpA in December 2020. 'Elia was deposited by the judge of the Council in Naples and in sworn testimony on November 4, 2020, on the instruction and direction of US persons working at the US Embassy in Rome, undertook the operation to transfer the election data November 3, 2020 from Donald Trump's significant margin of victory to Joe Biden in a number of states where Joe Biden was losing vote totals. The defendant stated that he was working in the Pescara facility of Leonardo SPA and used the encryption capabilities of military-grade cyberwarfare to transmit votes exchanged via the military satellite of the Fucino Tower in Frankfurt, Germany. The defendant swears that the data in some cases may have been exchanged to represent more than the total number of registered voters. The defendant said he will testify to all individuals and entities involved in the passing of votes from Donald Trump to Joe Biden when he is in total protection for himself and his family. The defendant claims to have secured in a secret location the backup of the original data and the exchanged data as he was instructed to provide evidence in court on this matter. I hereby declare and swear that the above facts have been declared in my presence. DATE of this day January 6, 2021 in Rome, Italy

Let's try to understand, Arturo D’Elia is really a name connected to Leonardo, and it is also true that D’Elia himself is under investigation and a colleague of his has already been arrested. But for facts that do not concern the 2020 elections, but rather a data theft between 2015 and 2017.

Just search the net to find everything. La Stampa explained things clearly already last December:

Indeed, the investigations revealed that for almost two years, between May 2015 and January 2017, Leonardo's IT structures had been hit by a targeted and persistent cyber attack, known as Advanced persistent threat or Apt, as it was carried out with installation in networks and target machines, of malicious code. The malicious software behaved like a newly engineered Trojan, inoculated by inserting USB sticks into spied on PCs, and made it possible to intercept what was typed on the keyboard of infected stations and capture the frames of what was displayed on the screens.

May 2015 and January 2017, nothing to do with November 2020. Since January 2017 everything passed through Leonardo has been carefully examined and checked, precisely because they are aware of the attack they had suffered. An attack that however "limited" itself to intercepting what was typed on the machines connected to the system, we are talking about 94 workstations. Not thousands of modified votes overseas.

I believe (if indeed the document was signed by the lawyer D’Urso) that some cunning persuaded him to draft that text by omitting what I have just reported. If this were not the case, I find the document very serious, and I believe that the Bar to which the lawyer D’Urso belongs should ask his member a few questions.

The worst thing is to see how many subjects are spreading the story in our country, without any critical spirit. But Q's misinformation has really hit the minds of many suggestible here in Italy. For us it is a disappointment, for years we have been trying to turn the spotlight on the problem of information disorder, unfortunately (and obviously) remaining unheard by many.

In addition to images, the story is also disseminated with a video, an interview with a certain Maria Zack, herself part of the many influencers linked to QAnon. Among the YouTube channels that are spreading the thing there are all those related to the unique people, in turn the Italic evolution of OPPT 1776, which in turn is a crap engulfed by Q. These people should be watched by the police and the judiciary. Not the Pisans who let themselves be fooled and associated, but the jackals who manipulate them.

Unfortunately, they are in some of their online groups and the authorities are far from doing anything. These people are free to claim victims among the weakest population of our country. Subjects who, convinced that they have found a way to live better, follow the dictates of various scoundrels and scammers.

It is really sad that no one has materially realized it yet, I see the videos with which these people suggest their followers, they are subjects who should be behind bars, not free to scam others. But we have been talking about it since 2014, without anything having changed yet. A bit like with Coemm / Clemm, another story that in turn has been following Q's narratives for a while. But when you report them to the authorities, if all goes well, they send us the Gabibbo.

We deserve the worst ...

The indescribable Paolo Attivissimo had spoken briefly about the affidavit and rightly branded it as nonsense given the zero evidence that was presented ...

I don't think it's necessary to add more.

Just to be clear, I think it's horse shit.

I think someone picked up this story about actual hacking and decided to make a fake affidavit because that would seem somewhat convincing.https://t.co/SoeBQvfnZH— Barry Norton (@BarryNorton) January 7, 2021

The site says it all— disinformatico. IOW another greaser trying to make a buck with his “expertise”. Every third functionary in the byzantine world of Italian “juridprudence” is corrupt as hell.

Put it another way, there is confirm from much higher sources in the Puzzle Palace. It only takes one with secure keydrives in secure place, and who was retrieved several weeks back to protective custody. This being from some blogger, posted by a newbie, has little weight, since the proof of the transmission source is already verified (and not within the general public’s purview to know how!) so the argument here has little basis, or if you rather in legal terms: Argumentum ab impossibilii plurimum valet in lege— however—Argumentum ab auctoritate fortissimum est in lege, that is to say the strongest.

Let’s see, who has visited Rome recently— in the last 2 years since the E.O. was signed- Mifsud, Giuliani, Durham (and large team) and.. Barr. 1 out of 4 having real experience with the Mafia.

The lights are off at the Vatican. And the storefront for the lawyer— is just that, a front. A lot of money went through the Vatican’s recently outed financiers, traceable from our very best in forensic accounting. From obamauamo’s skim of US money— in cash.

Finally— NOOBs have zero credence.

Lawyers in Europe are also notaries. The story is the affidavit is a confession, the man and his family are in protective custody, and he has the original data that was switched. We do know that Obama’s buddy Renzi is demanding control of Italy’s spy services or he will bring down the government. We will see what the evidence is, as long as everyone stays alive.

I believe they were using one of the Vatican’s 7 satellites. Which is one reason the Pope is in custody.

I heard Germany was without power tonight.. and that usually happens before they do something that has to do with the election.

Try water- it clears the mind. Our President doesn’t drink booze, and it seems to work for his rather agile mind.

Can take or leave even the hardest hooch- a real benefit throughout life. Clarity. Apparently not enough for you.

Try Dr. Franklin’s comments- they are cogent differently.

“whose office actually is in Via Vittorio Emanuele in Catania at number 5, it’s worth taking a look at the location in Google Street View. This is supposed to be the front door of the lawyer who is handling such a world-changing deposition? Seriously?”

Having lived just outside of Catania, and visited the city more times than I can count...yes, you would find professional people of all categories in offices on streets like that. However, inside, the decor would be very nice.

Put that ion with these findings

THE GEORGIA RESULTS
SEND IN AN ARMY OF FED PROSECUTORS AND DO THIS

There were a series of fraudulent voting charges here. Were they enforced and corrected before this election took place ? If they weren’t is not a review called for ?
If the Georgia Secretary of State is in charge of voting he has the responsibility of enforcing the state’s regulations as to who votes. And eliminate those from voter lists who don’t qualify.

Assign prosecutors to personally canvass and investigate. Check if military actually voted by asking them. Identify all voters by checking on their residency and citizenship. If found they do not qualify charge Illegals including state visitors known as snowbirds also include any technical computer fraudulent programming testimony when presenting to the court and get these election results tossed. Try and get it done SAP before the 20th
