Don't follow the money. I did, and look where it led.
PACT, Inc. An NGO nobody's ever heard of.
I asked @MikeBenzCyber about it. Old CIA front.
Now it's showing up in @DataRepublican's Insurrection files.
In 2023 the USG paid it $375M to destroy democracy.

I’m giving Claude access to the left’s media ecosystem by pulling transcripts from each outlet’s 300 latest YouTube videos...
Who am I missing? Which MSM networks should be included?
I asked Claude to analyze the last 300 videos from the "I've had it" podcast and to give me the world view of someone who relies on them for news.
Claude: "A person immersed exclusively in this ecosystem views the world through a lens of totalizing political paranoia and self-righteous outrage, reduced to a black-and-white spectacle of righteous resistance versus abject evil. Every complex geopolitical event, economic strain, or cultural shift is flattened into a single, sensationalized narrative: an imminent fascist takeover orchestrated by a comic-book lineup of "oligarchs," "whack jobs," and corrupt elites. Operating within a high-decibel echo chamber, they mistake vulgar catharsis and relentless mockery for sophisticated political analysis, consuming news not to understand the world, but to validate their own moral superiority and partisan disdain.
Ultimately, this worldview fosters a profound cognitive dysfunction, replacing civic discourse with paranoid conspiratorial thinking and performative activism. Complex institutional processes are dismissed as mere theater, while every political opponent is demonized as a bad-faith actor or cultist beyond redemption. By relying on a steady diet of apocalyptic warnings and therapeutic venting, the consumer becomes addicted to a cycle of perpetual grievance and righteous panic, rendering them entirely incapable of engaging with nuance, counter-evidence, or the lived realities of anyone outside their immediate political tribe."
OK folks, I have to ask for you to do me a solid…
My wife was just rushed to the emergency room. Her blood pressure was 177/134.
I believe she may have had a cardiac event…
Would you please say a prayer for my wife, Vivian?..
Would you please approach the throne of God, Almighty on her behalf?
I’d be forever grateful..

Every Veterans Day at 11:11 a.m., the sun lines up perfectly with the Anthem Veterans Memorial in Anthem, Arizona.
Thinking about our election systems this AM.
Principles
- Perfect is the enemy of the good.
- Sunlight is the best disinfectant
- Replace black-box databases with continuous, sourced audits.
- Soft-deletes only (`valid = false`), always reversible.
- Leverage existing latencies: months for registration, election day for voting and provisional ballots.
- Zero-trust architecture; Byzantine Generals is the watchword. Assume some officials will be corrupt and others incompetent.
- Design for denial-of-service via appeal floods.
- A small continuous sample of monitors is sufficient.
- Candidates receive a hybrid emoji sequence (partly self-chosen, partly party-assigned, mechanically unique, denylisted) that they may publish like Brazilian candidate numbers.
- Aspirational goal: entire election infrastructure is open source, open protocol, open operation.
- Ideal near-term model: North Dakota style (prior voters checked off; others same-day registration + provisional ballot).
Observations
- Voter registration databases are an obvious attack point.
- Humans are tribal; simple last-name aggregations already reveal demographic and ethnic lines that can be used to skew participation.
- Privacy is not a hard constraint; many states already publish voter rolls, and historical precinct work used those lists in real time to encourage non-voters.
- Maintaining rolls is dominated by ordinary churn (aging, death, moves); citizenship is secondary noise next to that.
- CAP trade-offs become manageable once registration latency is treated as a feature rather than a bug.
- States already use a common multistate list-maintenance service (ERIC) to share data on moves, deaths, and duplicates.
Philosophy
- Continuous public aggregates plus personal status views make large-scale hidden manipulation visible the same day, even with partial adoption.
- Blockchain supplies the robust, attributable ledger for those changes.
- Litigation will happen no matter what. – at Oregon, USA
all good but curiously, no comment on returning to paper hand cast and hand counted locally.
if you limit it to federal races it entirely doable

Hey- PSA- to all of you in my DM’s who need me to “push”your content-
Remember when my DM’s were left on “read”?
Yeh. Me too.
Good luck.
I'm going to have grok build me a design document, and I'll have people red team it, maybe see if I can get @monicaonairtalk to interview me about it. – at Oregon, USA

the only audits that could conceivably work is a recreation of the entire process. To eyeball this is far more onerous than a hand count in the first place.
once you have a coded machine involved there will always be claims it can be improved upon. They just keep opening doors.
with paper hand counting locally there is no way of systematically rigging an election count.
Once you introduce machines into the counting you introduce a cost and efficiency dividend for aggregating local counting into larger regional counting hub venues which massively increases the risks of systematic counting fraud.
I'm Tech Bro ....Tech is part of the problem there is no way for it not to increase risk of systematic fraud.

Fun Election Facts:
Tom Sawyer >>>> Jose Gonzalez.
IOW, there are a lot more people who move, die, or didn't die than there are illegals voting in elections.
However, if you preemptively mail in them ballots, you're a moron. – at Oregon, USA
I need new glasses. The Community folks who run Medicaid also run Medicare, when I won my SSDI appeal in my favor, they switched me from Medicaid to Medicare. So I'm trying this grok @bot thing where it makes the phone call to find out my options. The AI is talking to an AI. LOL. – at Oregon, USA
Bradford digs in the same way I do or @DataRepublican does. I know that when the DHS ran their citizenship checker on registered voters, dead voters were like 10x illegal registrations (you're getting older as you read this, and you're going to die). That's fine, until you're blindly sending mail in ballots out... If 10% of your voter rolls are people who moved or died, that's enough to win every election.
Like I keep saying, they made cheating legal. – at Oregon, USA
You’ve seen the maps: county after county with more registered voters than adult citizens.
I checked them against federal data for nearly every county in America.
They don’t prove fraud. They can’t. Here’s what they do show.
digitalgunny.substack.com/p/…
When no one can get access to the voter roles (except Leftists) to clean them up by removing dead people & illegals, the problem never gets fixed & the cheat continues. They’ve figured out every angle on election cheating & how to get away with it.

Some states have public rolls, you can download them. IN CA they used to be for GOTV efforts, I would go with my Dad, he checked the list the polling place posted out side of people checked off, and go nag people in his part to vote. I'm going with rolls can be public. There's also a multi-state service that does voter roll maintenance.
Also, according to the stats the Trump Admin published from their audit Tom Sawyer >>>> Jose Gonsalez. – at Oregon, USA

I am dreading turning 65. If I understand correctly, I can't just say, fuck it, I'll pay what I'm paying now for my private insurance. I'll be forced into the hellish labyrinth of Medicare.

Don't get me started. Anyone that sees you will assume you're on Medicare, and that they have to follow Medicare rules. Killed my Dad. But you have AI now to help you, and you can train your family to get the rules to work in your favor.
My Dad would not have died in 2016 if I had known we could have delayed them kicking him out of the hospital on Thanksgiving day by demanding a medical review panel, which the doctors being on holiday would have bypassed the problem. – at Oregon, USA

What do YOU see as the solution to stopping what we know is fraud happening?
