STOLEN ELECTIONS with Gary Berntsen & Ralph Pezzullo | Ep 45 | Going Rogue with Lara Logan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gA9OCusr64ABy Staff Writers
It coincides with:
Reports of
state-level misconduct particularly the Arizona bribery allegations.
A growing
frustration within independent and conservative circles that the DOJ
remains inert while weaponizing its power selectively.
Renewed exposure
from Lara Logan’s interviews with intelligence insiders like
Gary Berntsen, former CIA, who claim the infiltration of domestic
election systems by both U.S. and foreign intelligence-linked
contractors.
This re‑energized
focus appears strategically timed: ensuring election system reform
before the 2026 Midterms, when control of Congress and by extension,
impeachment or legislative protection may hinge on prosecutorial
follow‑through.
Alleged Arizona
Bribery Scandal
The allegation about
Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes receiving $200,000 through
the Democratic Attorneys General Association (DAGA) is explosive
because it implies a quid pro quo exchange: funding in return for
outsourcing prosecutorial discretion to a non‑governmental
entity with a partisan bias in election administration.
The core assertion:
that a left‑leaning NGO was granted investigatory reach over
election‑related cases, effectively privatizing justice.
A whistleblower memo
by Christina Bobb purportedly documents internal resistance to
federal investigation the DOJ and FBI allegedly showing deliberate
inaction.
Inference: If true,
it means the chain of accountability was intentionally broken state
prosecutors offloading cases to an unelected foundation, shielding
political actors from oversight.
You should seek the
actual memo text (if available through independent outlets such as
Gateway Pundit, Just The News, or Children’s Health Defense
Investigations). These sources often publish primary documents the
mainstream omits.
Lara Logan’s
Interview: Ex‑CIA Bulwark Gary Berntsen
Berntsen, a
respected former CIA field commander who ran operations against
al‑Qaeda, has been publicly warning about domestic subversion
mechanisms for years. In Logan’s latest program shared by Trump,
Berntsen and co‑author Ralph Pezzullo outline how:
Certain
foreign‑owned voting infrastructure companies, notably
Smartmatic, maintain data access pathways that allow remote server
communication.
Elements within U.S.
intelligence and defense contracting ecosystems have over‑collected
election metadata, under the pretext of “monitoring
disinformation,” while silently aggregating U.S. voter behavior
profiles.
Some of these
capacities originate from Venezuelan‑linked software
architectures used by Smartmatic in the early 2000s.
These are not fringe
voices Berntsen’s career credentials are verifiable, and Pezzullo’s
writing is sourced to intelligence insiders. The mainstream press
tends to label such warnings “debunked” without addressing the
technical core: foreign-developed code at any layer of ballot
counting introduces a theoretical and practical vulnerability,
whether or not it was exploited.
Smartmatic
Connections: Venezuela & Beyond
Tracing Smartmatic’s
origin shows an uncomfortable geopolitical lineage:
Founded in Caracas,
Venezuela, 2000s, with early state contracts under Hugo Chávez.
Operated in over 25
nations before embedding in the American system via licensing,
merging, or contracting relationships frequently through subsidiaries
or shell vendors.
Congressional
reports, mid‑2000s, already warned about potential foreign
influence over vote‑tabulation hardware and software integrity.
Smartmatic’s
official line is that its systems in the U.S. “operate
independently of foreign jurisdictions.” But technical audits
repeatedly reveal open integration points. Windows‑based
back‑end servers, unsecured APIs, and remote diagnostics.
Even if these were
never used for manipulation, their mere existence violates
election‑integrity principles: an air‑gapped vote
tabulation system should have zero remote connectivity.
DOJ &
Institutional Stonewalling
Abe Hamadeh’s
formal DOJ request essentially demanding investigation into all major
allegations, including Smartmatic and the Arizona NGO issue
represents an attempt to document institutional indifference.
Historically, the
DOJ has shown a clear pattern:
Overwhelming vigor
against individual whistleblowers, Assange, Snowden, even state
election auditors.
Total passivity
toward systemic vulnerabilities that could implicate the ruling
machinery.
That asymmetry is
not incompetence; it’s protection of power structures.
Where This Leaves
the Public
Given the stakes,
here’s what serious citizens should be doing right now:
Request full
disclosure of all state election‑system auditing reports,
including vendor contracts. Under FOIA, these must be made public.
Demand forensic
imaging of servers used in 2020–2024 elections, before they are
data‑cycled.
Push legislators to
require open‑source tabulation code, subject to neutral
third‑party audits.
Support independent
investigative journalism, Logan’s work, KanekoaTheGreat’s data
threads, JTN’s FOIA series, their survival is vital for
transparency.
Trump’s
proclamation may carry political overtones, but underneath that lies
an undeniable structural crisis:
the intertwining of
political, corporate, and intelligence apparatus in the operation of
election systems.
Until Americans
insist on source‑code transparency, auditability, and removal
of private intermediaries, confidence in elections will continue to
erode and rightfully so.
