I wonder how many of all those “saints” in the Texas legislature, male and female, have been screwing around?

Probably more than you might think.

The object now is not to give the multinationals a cheap work pool, but demographic change, to destabilize and destroy the historical nation, and that is happening to all Western democracies.

Exactly

Then you need access to the machines, thru some type of communication network, internet, internal network, cell network, etc.

Then you need usernames/passwords to get into the machines.

/\

That was covered in the 3 hour vid.

For instance,. the passwords were

/ Password /

and was in a folder on the opening screen.

The internet connections points were multiple between several components of the system.

And the whole system was circular that made the fraud opportunaties literally infinate.

Every one of your “ yabutt” ‘s were covered and exposed in that vid.

Btw,. that vid has been scrubbed apparently cuz I’ve looked multiple times in this last year. I linked to it once in a post here but I have thousands of posts and have spent hours trying to find it again and haven’t.

And I have to wonder,,,,

,, why you seem willing to spend so much effort to defend the machines...

Do you get bonus sprinkle doughnuts instead of plain doughnuts from the narrative control cubicle manager when you do ?

Do you get sodomy chocolate doughnut bonus doughnuts to slander Lindell too ?

And your accusations and

” drone narrative” are crap.

If you are in the IT Industry this might be redundant, but I an assure just because the username/password of the machines were the word password and the machine is connected to the internet doesn’t mean you can get into it.

How many of the machines were using password as the way to get into the machines, probably very few.

Does the county have a VPN access and the hacker have the necessary credentials to access the network via VPN.

The Ken Paxton/Tucker Carlson video I watched did not mention any of those things, I doubt Ken Paxton or Tucker Carlson would have any idea what I’m talking about.

The overwhelming majority number of companies and counties do not have multiple internet connections, they have private networks that are connected to the Internet in One, maybe Two places.

Assuming a person can easily get into voting machines how many people have the technical knowledge to hack them or modify how they count votes.

None of the “yabutts” were covered in the video I watches and even if they were, I could list another entire list of reasons why getting in and hacking voting machines is much more difficult than they way Ken Paxton describes it and what I believe happened.

It’s not slandering Lindell if it’s true.

His cyber symposium data was proven to be fake, a mediation panel ruled he had to pay the guy who proved it was fake 5 million based on a challenge Lindell put up before the symposium, Lindell is refusing to pay and the case is tied up in court.

I’ve actually done packet captures, many times, to do that at the level Lindell was trying to sell is impossible except for maybe a handful of organizations in the world, in this case the NSA inside the USA, I seriously doubt Lindell was showing data gathered by the NSA.

Go back and look at his presentation from the last symposium he put on a couple of months ago, he was trying sell some new device or technology he came up with that would use drones to fly around polling places looking for suspicious wifi connections.

This used to be called War Driving, I used a piece of software that was free called Netstumbler, running on a small laptop sitting in the front seat of my car with a very small wifi antenna on top of the car, I drove around Jacksonville, Fl or 2-3 hours and detected a few hundred open wifi connections that could have been exploited, this was over 10 years ago.

If you don’t know what Kismet Software, Raspberry Pie devices or Pineapple Devices are, google them and learn what they can do and have been doing for a number of years, what Lindell was talking about was not only impractical but hackers have been using these tools for years.

I love how you have to toss out insults when presented with an alternative opinion.

A key take from the article and interview:

They agree on some other important things:

Open borders, which benefit the big, multinational corporations to which both Democrats and Vichy Republicans owe fealty.

Ukraine, from which both Democrats and Vichy Republicans profit and to which they have a stronger loyalty than to normal Americans.

Big Pharma, again because both profit from it.

\/

Its not true,

its narrative.

Keep earning and stuffing those bonus doughnuts in your liehole and you might just get your own private narrative control cubicle with a window so you can actually see reality you so professionaly ignore and denigrate and deny.

It wasn’t narrative about the Mediation Panel appointed by the Court ruling the Lindell had to pay the guy for proving his Cyber Symposium data was fake, because that happened.

It’s also true that the “new” technology Lindell presented in his 2nd symposium has been around for years.

Just because you choose not to believe it or don’t understand it or are ignorant of the information doesn’t make it untrue.

Keep up with the insults it suits you.

“Just because you choose not to believe it or don’t understand it or are ignorant of the information doesn’t make it untrue.”

The new motto of conservatism. I only believe things that I wish were true. I block everything else out or point to truly fantastical conspiracy theories. And also, the Pols that I like are all playing 3-D chess. When it looks like they screwed up, that’s an elaborate multi-part trap.

We’ve devolved to wishful thinking and hero worship.

It was a good interview. I have never trusted Paxton personally, as it seemed like he was just another deep stater, but I might be wrong about him.

Oh, and his description of the way the speakership works in Texas is perfectly accurate. The Texas house has been controlled by Rats for decades, really.

People get so invested in believing certain things especially when it comes to Trump they simply won’t consider anything else.

From election night until now Trump and a lot of his key supporters have preached about the voting machines being rigged or hacked, I believed too at one time.

I spent 38 years in the IT world, the last 20 doing router and switch configurations using Cisco Systems equipment, I worked at one of their support centers for almost 2 years.

I know what it takes to hack thru routers and firewalls.

I have no doubt the elections around the country have been rigged, just not the way many of these people believe, by challenging the conventional thinking the true believers resort to insults, which is fine.

The other thing I believe is that not every election a MAGA candidate loses is rigged or stolen, some are just bad candidates and in some cases the MAGA movement is toxic and people want no part of it, New Hampshire appears to be one of those places.

I also believe in order for the Republican Party to remain relevant there must be a truce between the MAGA wing and Establishment wing of the party, otherwise Republicans will continue to lose elections they should be winning.

That infuriates a lot of people on FR.

A lot of people would rather double down on being wrong than admit that they may possibly be wrong.

The conservative echo chamber doesn’t help. Remember all of the talk about a “red tsunami” in 2022? It was a constant drum beat in the conservative media and social media. It completely discounted or ignored the impact of Roe being overturned was going have.

I think MAGA is not a majority. Trump will get more votes in red states than he got last time but that won’t help in PA and WI or MI.
Look at recent elections in those states. The GOP has been mostly shut out. But that gets ignored in favor of another poll showing Trump winning. The lessons of 2016 about how accurate polls are seems to have been forgotten now that we like what the polls show.

I get what you are saying, I catch a lot of grief here on FR for pointing out Georgia as an example of how things go very wrong.

The Republicans control every level of State Government in Georgia, except the two US Senate Seats.

Brian Kemp and Brad Raffensberger both are loathed in the MAGA world, both easily won reelection in 2022, they even soundly defeated Trump endorsed primary challenges.

The one Republican who didn’t win in that election was Herschel Walker, why is that, true MAGA supporters will tell you Kemp is crooked and stole the election from Walker.

I contend Walker was a terrible candidate and rift between MAGA and the Georgia establishment was enough for people to not vote for Walker even though they voted for Kemp and Raffensberger who were all on the same ballot.

Arizona is another example, Republicans win often in Arizona, in 2022 all 3 major Republican candidates lost.

The big flaw was urging their supporters to vote on election day creating a single point of failure in the election process when the machines in key Republican precincts didn’t work.

In Kari Lake’s case she told McCain supporters to “get the hell out” of her rallies. You don’t’ have to love John McCain to welcome his voters.

No Republican including Kari Lake is in a position to throw away potential votes.

Republicans can’t afford stupid unforced errors like that.

Georgia and Arizona are perfect examples of a changing demographic. Both of these states only trend purple because the moderates and independents rejected Walker and the Maga ticket in AZ.

I expect there will be more bleeding in the future. The GOP had a lock on suburban women until the Dobbs decision. Dobbs tossed the abortion issue back to the states. Abortion rights issues have won everywhere there’s been a state referendum. So Ohio tried to make it harder to amend the state constitution and then tried to legally keep the issue from being on a state-wide ballot. And now the suburban women are voting against the GOP.

There’s 3 other US Senators in states where they should be Republican.

Manchin in West Virginia
Brown in Ohio
Tester in Montana

Republicans have control of 26 states with Republican Governors, at a minimum 52 US Senators should be Republican.

Enough to stop most of radical Democratic policies.

Throw in the 2 seats in Georgia, plus a seat here or there in Arizona, Nevada, etc. if you ran good candidates where it’s possible and Republicans should have anywhere between 52 and 56 Senators at all times.

The RNC with Trump endorsed Ronna McDaniel running things who has done absolutely nothing to combat the mail in balloting issue and you have the potential for a disaster in 2024.

I’ve tried to bring up the issue of Trump’s legal issues and have received endless insults.

I have agreed with the MAGA supporters the charges against Trump are wrong and should not have happened, but they are none the less real and he’s in real danger of being convicted in those cases.

Can you imagine the potential disaster if one year from now Trump becomes a convicted felon running as the Republican Nominee for POTUS.

I get told he will win anyway, then pardon himself, I then remind people two of the cases are state cases where he couldn’t pardon himself, the argument is the Supreme Court will throw out those cases.
