‘Release the Kraken,’ a catchphrase for unfounded conspiracy theory, trends on Twitter.
NY Times ^ | Nov 17 2020 | By Davey Alba

A catchphrase winking at an unfounded voter fraud conspiracy in the presidential election trended on Twitter on Tuesday morning as President Trump’s allies continued to contest the outcome of the election, which has been called for Joseph R. Biden Jr.

The phrase, “Release the Kraken,” appeared on Twitter’s trending topics list on Tuesday, collecting nearly 100,000 tweets, pushed mostly by conservatives and far-right internet personalities.

The conspiracy stems from a Fox Business Network appearance last Friday by Sidney Powell, a lawyer for the former national security adviser Michael T. Flynn. During an interview with the host Lou Dobbs, Ms. Powell claimed that the president’s team had voluminous evidence that it planned to release to overturn election results in key states.

“We are talking about hundreds of thousands of votes,” Ms. Powell said in the interview. “President Trump won this election in a landslide.”

I believe Sidney Powell and Lin Wood know what they’re doing.

My guess is they don’t want to bring the house down until affidavits are finalized and, most importantly, deals are made.

Buzz is there are some big names involved in this. I’m sure Powell and Wood want to make sure all the I’s are dotted and T’s crossed.

I hope we see some meat to the story soon. Sidney Powell might want to hold off on more interviews until she produces the goods

Hope you’re right. Also hope that if they have credible eyewitnesses to gig-time vote rigging, those people are being kept safe

If you haven’t seen this, you’ll realize the Kraken is real.

THis is a Trump Campaign official in Lousiana this morning on Newsmax.

They have the servers, and they’ve reviewed the data.

Did we just hear it wrong? Maybe it was “Release the Karens”?

Maybe we have a brigade of snot-faced busy-bodies ready to hector Biden into submission?

We win! Go Karens go! Do your obnoxious worst!

‘We’re living in a “national emergency” over election fraud according to the Executive Order.’

Yeah, that sounds impressive unless you know that the USA has been in a perpetual “national emergency” for decades and decades already.

......... I think the .... “Kraken” .... Was the big revelation that Sytle/Dominion Voting Systems et-al were used in the 2020 Election. Detailed information was given on how it is possible to rig elections using their Voting Machine software.
