Trump’s July 16 Speech: The Big Picture

I would like to see some prosecutions on the left, but the right does not have the determination needed. Or maybe the left has them all blackmailed.

I’d like to see gallows built on the White House lawn. Big ones, that can hang 20 treasonous Deep Staters at a time. And we’ll need seating, vendors, outdoor toilet facilities, music, jugglers, some games... maybe some trading cards with Deep Staters on them like the troops did with Al Qaeda back in the day...

This would suit me!

>> Big [gallows], that can hang 20 treasonous Deep Staters at a time. And we’ll need seating, vendors, outdoor toilet facilities, music, jugglers, some games... maybe some trading cards with Deep Staters on them like the troops did with Al Qaeda back in the day...

And PayPerView teevee! Retire the national debt! :-)
I for one would give generously...

Satire is difficult to do on the Internet.

Gallows?

Too slow......industrialized throat slits kinda like slaughtering pigs.....
Grab them by ankles.
Jerk them up.
Swung along.
Slit.
Spurt.
Wiggle.
Rack for public viewing.
Forfeit all assets for reparations direct to every American.

A quarterly check would go a long way to assuaging any qualms we might have.

I would not gag them or blindfold them.
I want to hear the screams and see the terror in their fading eyes.

All under proper authority and after fair trials of course.

A deterrent has to be effective.

They deserve it if only for the
-55mm abortions.
-the 4,000 dead illegals crossing the border PER YEAR.
-the 800,000+ rapes per year crossing the border.
-just tolerating more than 10 Muslims in our country at a time.

You can see I do not feel strongly about it....but it is my opinion and I feel better now.

BENNY JOHNSON - Former CIA Agent Just BLEW The Doors Off How American Elections Get Stolen — How The CIA Is In On It. This BLEW My Mind (VIDEO 28 MIN)

How are elections stolen? How are democracies threatened? Maybe we can start with that. I’d like to just jump in and say that I’m a retired CIA officer that was, I’m the guy that did the entry into Afghanistan 20 years ago, put Karzai in power, speak Persian. I was the chief of Hezbollah operations globally, chief of station in the Middle East, chief of station a couple of times in Latin America.

And so I have been sort of in an environment for most of my life. I wrote a book years ago called Jawbreaker about the invasion of Afghanistan with Ralph Pazullo. So Ralph is actually the writer of the book that you’re talking about, the stolen elections book.

I couldn’t write it because the CIA wouldn’t have ever approved it with my, with the publication review board wouldn’t have let me write it. So Ralph is the one that the book is, was written by Ralph Pazullo. You can get it on Amazon, but it’s about myself and about Martine Rodile, who is my business partner.

We began about seven years ago, working together and doing what we call whistleblowing and targeting the Cartel del Solis, the cartel in Venezuela. People need to understand that the cartel that operated out of Venezuela, which was led by Nicolas Maduro when he was captured, is a cartel worth $2.7 trillion. That is what they have stolen in oil money, drug sales, gold, everything else.

It’s the largest transnational criminal organization in the history of the world. It makes the mafia in Italy look like pikers. So we were doing operations against them, collecting on their finances and continually stumbling into this company, Smartmatic, their employees, their involvement with the cartel.

People were telling us things about it. And then of course, in 2020, when the election was stolen, many of the people that we, sources that we had, came to us and told us they had contacts inside the Consejo National Electoral, that’s the National Electoral Council in Venezuela, and inside Smartmatic. And they explained to us pretty quickly who the players were, how they were doing this.

And so for the next two years, we, Martín and I, traveled the world, finding engineers that work for the companies, recruiting them, bringing them on board, debriefing them. And they essentially laid out this conspiracy, which we found shocking. Look, I was a senior officer in the CIA.

I was one of the top guys in counterterrorism. I was in charge of the East Africa bombings, the Cobar Tower bombings, invasion. I mean, I did a lot of stuff.

But I was shocked by the scale of this, and even more shocked by the fact that the IC, the intelligence community of the United States, wasn’t doing anything about it. We went to them. We brought them information.

We briefed them on the cartel early on. We actually briefed the Trump campaign about election theft before the 2024 election. We went to them in 2020.

When the election was stolen in 2020, we went right to the campaign. We went to Rudy and to Sidney. Sidney and Rudy believed us.

The problem was, was they had a very narrow window, right, to prove the case, because you’re up against a January swearing in of a new president. So from 2020 to 2024, we really put our shoulder to the wheel and built a group of sources. We had assistance from Mr. Patrick Byrne, who’s a fantastic guy that helped finance the recruitment of a dozen engineers from Venezuela who built and managed the system, who built the source code.

And we were able to put them together, first in the Caribbean for about a year, and then we wound up moving into Switzerland for a year and set up a computer lab there. Even though we had the plan, we knew early on what this was. It required all those engineers together and the investment by Mr. Byrne to break the engineering, to actually figure out how they were doing it, specifically from a computer engineering perspective.

And so, you know, this has been a long haul. We briefed the FBI, you know, almost a year before the election. You know, we went to an FBI officer in Washington, D.C., and this was during the Biden administration, and we showed them what we had.

And that FBI officer told us, you need to leave the city, you need to flee, because if my supervisors find out what you have and what you’re doing, they will destroy your investigation and they will find a way to put you in jail. So here, I’m a guy that spent 23 years in the CIA, four years in the Air Force. I had to leave the United States and live in Switzerland for a year so that our efforts and our activities wouldn’t be interrupted.

After Donald J. Trump won the 2024 election, we were able to return. But the point was, as we briefed them, we briefed the Department of Justice six months before the election. In 2024, we sat with a U.S. attorney and we showed them exactly how it was going to be done.

The U.S. attorney told us, OK, they took detailed notes and they told us that the FBI would contact us and work with us against this. Well, they never contacted us. They investigated us.

They pursued us. You know, if it wasn’t me, it would be hard for me to believe the experience that we had in investigating election theft. But to get back to your initial question, this was something that began in Venezuela in 2003 when there was a recall referendum.

And Chávez had come to power in 1998. Hugo Chávez, the dictator, had come to power legally in 1998. Back in 1993, he tried a coup, was in jail, got released.

He won a legal election in 1998. In 2003, there was a recall referendum and the Cuban Intelligence Service went to him and said, Hugo, you’re going to lose. You need to figure out how to win.

And we think you should look at these electronic voting machines. So they were able to assemble a team of three Venezuelan-Americans that had a company in the United States. They’d all studied at Simon Boulevard University in Venezuela, which is a very fine university.

Ironically, the computer lab there is linked to the computer lab at MIT. And they would be brought into Venezuela, flown into Ramp 4, meet with—and that’s the presidential ramp. And in the conference room there, they would have their very first meeting with Hugo Chávez, with Hugo Carvajal, Diosdado Cabello, and Jorge Rodriguez.

And Jorge Rodriguez is the brother of Delcy Rodriguez, and he would eventually be the head of the CNE, the Consejo Nacional Electoral. And they would have a meeting with them and they would discuss how to steal elections. And they took money from the Venezuelans and they told them, we’ve got to do two things.

We’ve got to get software, we’ve got to build a source code, and we’ve got to get hardware. So they put a team together to start building the source code that would enable them to do election theft. And then they flew to Italy and went to Olivetti.

You may recall in the old days, Olivetti did electronic typewriters, but they also did lottery machines. So they bought several thousand touchscreen lottery machines in Italy, brought them back to Venezuela, and ran an election, the recall election in 2004, on that technology, using their source code and the hardware from Italy. Hugo Chávez was thrilled.

He was able to steal the election. And then he began improving the system and assisting people like the Kitcheners in Argentina, Evo Morales in Bolivia, Correa in Ecuador. They started stealing elections first all around Latin America.

Their first entries into the United States would be in Democratic primaries in Cook County and in Democratic state primaries in New Jersey. Actually, Carolyn Maloney, who was a Democratic congresswoman in New York, wrote a letter to John Snow during that period saying, hey, these Venezuelans are here, and they’re stealing elections in the United States. And actually, her letter was so specific, it named one of the key technologies that we would learn about a decade later.

She had a source, a very good source. So Sivius, under John Snow, initiated an investigation of Smartmatic, and Smartmatic was forced to sell its company. First, they tried to sell it to themselves, an entity called SGO, which was the board.

They were blocked. And then they attempted to sell it to—and they did sell the technology to a company called Sequoia. But Sivius came again and said, who are you? Are you Americans? Are you Venezuelans? What are you? So they were forced, and Sequoia was forced to sell to Dominion.

And Dominion is the company that’s been running elections, mostly in the United States and all the swing states, was a company out of Toronto that was in a startup business thing of George Soros. They had only run one election prior to getting involved in the U.S. And they came into the United States and they started improving the technology and then would get investments of money out of China. The Chinese would become their partners and the system would grow.

So what would happen was this, Smartmatic would remain in Venezuela stealing elections, and they would become a global entity stealing elections around the world. And they had an agreement with Dominion, which had their technology, and Dominion would steal them in America. They cut the world up.

And so we’ve had the engineers that we recruited. We’ve brought them to the United States. We’ve done multiple debriefings and meetings at the DNI’s office.

As soon as President Trump got elected, we went in there. I felt like I was doing stand-up comedy. Every time I was in there was another group of eight or nine people there.

But the point was, they were horrified by us and our discussions of Venezuela. Part of the reason for this, what I believe, and I know it’s true, is that during the Obama administration, the IEC, the intelligence community, set up liaison relationships with the Cubans and the Venezuelans, and they probably did things that they are ashamed of. They knew about these machines.

They had involvement with them. Ultimately, Cuba and Venezuela would have the Chinese become their partners. And the Chinese, of course, then would wind up doing the manufacturing.

So you had these, the hardware would be manufactured outside of Beijing, about 60 miles outside of Beijing. We had the name of the company. They would move the hardware to Taiwan.

And in Taiwan, they would white label it as made in Taiwan. If you read about the laws governing technology, people sort of accept the fact that Taiwan accepts downstream technology from China. But the fact is, is that technology allowed it to communicate.

It allowed the Chinese also to enter. So you wound up with the Venezuelan cartel, created the software. The Chinese wound up building the hardware.

And then, of course, these guys understood tradecraft. So when I talk about tradecraft is they don’t want to do the attacks in the US or for some Venezuela. Dominion, the company out of Canada that would take over like 32, 33% of the market in the United States, set up a research center in Belgrade.

So in Belgrade, they had 98 system administrators, Serbians, Venezuelans, and some Chinese operating off of Huawei servers that controlled the swing states in the United States. Our votes were stored in Belgrade and communicated to Hong Kong. This has been going on for years.

This is an attack. This is the most grave attack on our democracy since the Civil War. And one person who really wanted to get to the bottom of it was Donald Trump.

Trump understood that there’s a problem. A lot of people in the IC have done everything possible to block us. They have done everything possible to disparage us, to call us, say that we’re trying to damage US foreign policy.

The fact is, is we know more about the cartel than they do. And we know who they’re dealing with in the United States. And we’ve had members of the cartel tell us which Americans are on their payroll.

And we’ve walked that in too and told them who was working for them and who was being paid to their horror. So this has been a very difficult road that we have been on. Mr. Rodile is very, very brave, my business partner.

They have tried to kill him multiple times. Patrick Byrne is a hero. Patrick Byrne put his fortune on the line, spent tens of millions to break the engineering.

Without Patrick, we wouldn’t have finished this. Mike Flynn was a big help. Mike Flynn flew out.

Mike Flynn met with the engineers to see it, to see how they would—we were using images, court-approved images in the United States, and practicing with them, entering the systems. The US government knows quite a bit about this. And they didn’t want to report—and look, there are people in jail in the United States that have confessed.

You have Hugo Carbajal, the chief of the D-Hasim, the directorate general of counterintelligence military in New York. You think they’re debriefing him? Benny, if you were the chief of the CIA or the chief of the FBI or the chief of any of these things, would you go and—wouldn’t you want to debrief the chief of a foreign hostile intelligence service if he’s in a jail that you control? Would you go there and do that? They didn’t for three years. There are some people in there talking to him now, I believe.

But I literally had to do a video to say, Mr. President, there’s a man there. Please move him to Quantico. Please put him down there so they don’t kill him in jail.

Have they moved him? No. These are—I know these sound like serious accusations, but this is the most deadly, serious threat to our country, our electoral system. And this has been going on since at least—with significant capacity since 2010.

So, Gary, what you’ve just laid out here is the largest espionage cartel crime in human history. Let me say something else. Please.

Three years ago, an American ambassador by the name of Manuel Rocha was arrested, right? Manuel Rocha had been ambassador in Bolivia. Manuel Rocha had been the political counselor at South Com, sitting next to General Hill, reading every intelligence report, everything. My business partner and I are the ones that turned him in.

We did. We found him. They didn’t find him.

We flew to Puerto Rico, sat with two FBI counterintelligence officers, hammered this out with them. And then that U.S. attorney there very bravely sent the message to Miami. They targeted Rocha, and Rocha’s in jail.

They got him in meetings. They had an FBI officer posed to be a Cuban intelligence officer, and he confessed under six hours of working for the Cubans. That was done by two civilians, OK? Retired—you know, I’m retired.

I’m 68, you know? So let me run this back just so that we can get the architecture of this. Nicolas Maduro creates election theft technology. Hugo Chavez does.

Maduro inherits it. Maduro inherits it. The Venezuelan cartel creates—the communist Venezuelan cartel creates the technology to steal elections.

They start stealing elections. The Chinese make a large investment, a material investment in that, and start creating the hardware. This all gets laundered through into American elections, and therefore, our elections can be stolen by a cartel abroad of communists.

Yes. Something else that was interesting— And our elections are stolen— Yes. Just—this is a fine point here.

In 70 countries around the world. Our elections are stolen, along with other countries’ elections, through this technology that can be manipulated by manipulating simply the tallies at the end as just algorithmic. What they do— Is it the—how would an election be stolen in Cook County, for instance? There are 14 different techniques within the hardware where they can go at the tabulator, they go at the scanners, they go at—so what they have done—what they have in Venezuela is just imagine this.

Imagine 150 CNE—Consejo National Electoral Government engineers—and 150 Smartmatic engineers working together, and they have engineers, and they have statisticians, and they have comms engineers, and it’s the science of election theft. So you want to do two things. You want to figure out how to steal election one, and how to defeat audit two.

So let me give you an example. On absentee ballots. Absentee ballots come in, they put them on a scanner.
Scanner takes a picture. Then they put another one on. Takes a picture.

It does like 100 of them. And then when it’s got 100 pictures, it’s ready to save them all. That picture of those 100 votes disappears.

One comes in from Serbia, and they’re all voting for one candidate, possibly Joe Biden. And then that is saved on the machine. In many states, you’re not allowed to look at the physical ballot in the box.

You must do the audit on the machine. Benny, these people actually own a number of the audit companies that come in to do the audit. They bought and own the paper companies.

Some of the ways they do it also is, just imagine you have a piece of paper, right, like 8 by 11, and the margin is, say, an inch on either side. Well, if you change that by a quarter of an inch, it forces the machine to trip after about 50 or 100 of these things you run through. Then a Smartmatic employee comes over, or Dominion Tech, puts a thumb drive in the machine to fix the problem, and now it’s loaded.

Perfect. They had at least 14 ways on the machine, and you can use number one and number three, number one and number nine, six and eight, and you never use the same technique in contiguous counties. Also, if you look at a state like Colorado, you have a state that is red through most of it, and it has blue, right, in Colorado Springs and Denver.

They don’t steal the election in Colorado Springs or Denver. They shave all those other counties, so instead of a conservative winning 70 to 30, they win 68 to 32, and they take points every place, and they have designed this one year in advance. This is the greatest grift in the history of the United States, these machines, and it was an evil attack on our democracy, and we have briefed this to a lot of people.

A lot of people were afraid. They ran away from us. We’ve just continued on and on, and we brought witnesses, and they’ve testified in front of members of the Department of Justice.

We actually tried to assemble the group of them together and get the DNI to give us a contract to do additional, and the DNI gave a contract to their friends, not to the people that we assembled that could have done it. I will say this. One politician in America that was very, very brave, that stood with us, Mark Wayne Mullen.

Correct. Mark Wayne Mullen, guy’s a man. Yes.

He was not afraid, and when he was a senator, he saw it. He took us to people. He was a real hero about this.

I’m so grateful to him. Gary, it’s hard to process all of this. I know.

I know. It’s very difficult. We started the show off by saying Nicholas Maduro would be the key to everything, and that the black bagging of Nicholas Maduro- You were correct.

I was listening to you. Had a much more profound and important piece in all of this, and while I don’t have the full architect constellation, I have had conversations with Elon Musk about this and Mark Wayne Mullen about this, and some of them have been on the show to talk. There’s some gaps, and you’re filling in a lot of the gaps, so it’s really remarkable to see.

Okay, so dig down on one or two things. One, the intelligence community. You’re saying that the American intelligence community allowed for this to happen.

Can you unpack that? We have probably the most problematic counterintelligence environment in our history. The Cuban intelligence service, using Venezuelan resources, have probably recruited more penetrations of the IEC than in any time since the founding of the agency in the late 1940s and the passing of the National Security Act of 1947. Look, the Cubans have a history, right? They recruited Ana Montes, who was at DIA, the head of the Latin American desk for Cuba and Venezuela.

They recruited Kendall Meyer at the State Department, who was the chief of intelligence and research for 30 damn years, was their asset. He was arrested 10 years ago, right? The Russians had gotten Hansen, they got Older James, but I’m telling you that—and that was a shock for us, right? When Older James and Hansen were arrested in that period, it was devastating because we lost a lot of sources. The Cubans, using Venezuelan resources, have done 10 times that damage.

We have more people walking around who have been in senior positions and have been on the payroll of our adversaries than at any time in our history. Look, I came into the agency into the career service trainee program in 1982. I served abroad in the Middle East and learned Persian, worked against Iran, was a chief against Hezbollah, did a lot of things, but I was selected for very, very large jobs like bombings.

I led the response to the East Africa bombings and captured those guys. When they needed to invade Afghanistan, we sent four teams in. I had the biggest piece of the invasion.

I seized Kabul. I was the architect of the battle in Tora Bora that fought and killed most of those al-Qaeda guys. I didn’t fall off an onion truck on the way to this.

And then I worked in Latin America as the chief of station to encounter narcotic programs after the Afghan conflict because I wanted something different. I got another language, got Spanish, went down there and did that, and then I left. But we have a terrible problem, counterintelligence problem.

And something happened in the United States after the Cold War. We all joined the national security apparatus. I did in the 1980s because the United States had a population of about 200 million.

The Russians were 300 million. Their armed forces was larger. I studied Russian in college.

After the Air Force, I went through the PLC program in the Marine Corps to be an infantry officer and was a skydiver. And I was recruited by an agency recruiter and didn’t take that commission and went to the agency instead. So I was a case officer and a paramilitary officer.

The level of commitment to the Constitution was a little different there because we had an existential threat from the Russians. The world has changed. People don’t see the world the same way and people are selling out.

There are a lot of people that have sold out. Just so you know, Manuel Rocha, who was arrested as a spy, was recruited in the 70s. He was seeded into the State Department.

They recruited him in Chile 10 years before and seeded him in, worked him up until he was an ambassador. They do long-term intelligence operations. I have said to a lot of people that my vision of the future is that we need to build a new intelligence service, a smaller one like an OSS or a DSS, Directorate of Strategic Services, and a very large CI service like MI5.

There are very good people, fine people. There’s guys like Sam Faddis, John McGuire. Bring them back.

Let them run it. There are some really great people out there that have 30 or 40 years of experience and understand this business. Not everybody can do this, just because you’re smart.

Look, we have been defeated by these people for the last 20 years. Zooming in a little bit and coming in on the question of that our intelligence services allowed for this to happen, allowed for this penetration of software and hardware created and written by our enemies in order to run American elections. They didn’t stop it.

Why didn’t they tell the president in 2020? The 2020 election was stolen. Clearly, we have it. We have the whole thing.

We’ve briefed this. We’ve showed them how they’ve done it. We’ve showed them how they entered into the system.

We’ve already showed them how it was done. How come they didn’t warn the president that these capabilities existed? When the president was screaming that the election was stolen, he was correct. Why did the IC stand and say nothing? It’s like COVID.

They knew. They knew. Shame on them.

Shame on them. What will the president say tonight? Is this what the president’s going to say tonight? Is this the architecture? You have to remember something. I think he will focus on China because China came in with massive resources and they’re a gigantic enemy.

I don’t know how much he’ll say about the Venezuelan stuff because you’ve got to remember there’s prosecutions going on. There are legal cases down south. The president of Smartmatic, Roger Pinata, is in jail down in Miami because of a bribery case in the Philippines.

It wasn’t bribed to get the contract. It was bribed to get a response. Now, they have their superseding indictments that have come on to that case because we brought witnesses that have been introduced there.

But the witnesses are there. What hasn’t been there, Banny, is a will on the part of the government. The one person with the real will in this is Donald J. Trump.

The problem was, NO ONE wanted to hear it, the media did not want the people to hear it, and the ones that did hear it were pissed because while gas prices are rising again and a war going on that we cannot seem to win is waging, Trump was talking about old crap that no one cares about anymore like the 2020 rigged election. The American public has a very short memory, hell, they are electing Muslims to public office which demonstrates that 9/11 has already been LONG forgotten. Only 1/3 of the Country actually realized that 2020 was rigged, the rest never believed it or cared anyway. Trump going on TV and wasting his time talking about just pisses everyone off.

Thanks

That’s one hell of an interview!

See the AI transcript in post 9, links to an X video of the interview.

My pleasure.

It paled before President Biden’s flaming red pre-midterm speech of September 1, 2022.

Biden looked like a pathetic idiot, reminded me of Shakespeare's line about"

..." A Tale/Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, / Signifying nothing.”

"The phrase has since become a common idiom used to describe something that is loud, chaotic, or attention-seeking but ultimately inconsequential or meaningless."

Exact description of Biden.

It paled before President Biden’s flaming red pre-midterm speech of September 1, 2022.

This was satire....The whole article.

I also posted it on Facebook, but don’t think anybody can see it.

This is probably the most important ping in Nut-Job Conspiracy Theory ping list history.

The government wants to disarm us after 250 years 'cuz they ~~plan to do~~ are doing things we would shoot them for!

At no point in history has any government ever wanted its people to be defenseless for any good reason

Yawn.

Same old, same old. "Republican voters" have been doing their job since 1980. The people they have REPEATEDLY elected are following an agenda which is destroying the nation.

Time to move on.
