The good oul USA⌠forced to choose one of these lunatic partyâsâŚtrying to stir people into a frenzy with the racist rhetoric on one side and trying to force woke bullshit on the world on the other side⌠no wonder loads of yanks are opting out
The one thing you definitely say about the likes of Trump, Musk, Peterson, Rogan and Andrew Tate is they are extremely secure in their masculinity, as shown here.
Trump has always said âwe have the votesâ. We know what he means by that. His plan has always been to rig the election.
When Trump and his Nazis baselessly accused Democrats of rigging the 2020 election, they likely did that because they themselves were doing it, and they probably did it in 2016 as well. Biden probably won by a lot more than we know about, and Clinton likely won too.
Iâve never subscribed to the view that American election systems are safe. They arenât because you have one party that are Nazis and theyâre backed up by another Nazi regime in Russia. People expect Nazis to play by the rules?
Republicans have never played by the rules. 2000 was stolen and Greg Palast still believes 2004 was stolen in Ohio too. I suspect heâs probably right.
I recall watching this documentary before the 2020 election and they had this expert Finnish hacker who demonstrated hacking election machines to change votes.
Election rigging doesnât always work. Russia literally paid 10% of the voters in the EU referendum in Moldova last week but it still wasnât enough.
It usually is though. And nobody is there to stand up against it when it happens, unless you get hundreds of thousands of people to risk their lives on the streets like happened in Ukraine in 2004 and Belarus in 2020 or Venezuela this year and will have to happen in Georgia now. It usually isnât successful because the election riggers have the military and the guns on their side.
Courts wonât help you. Shame wonât stop the election riggers, because they are shameless.
Kill Chain: The Cyber War on Americaâs Elections is an American television documentary film produced by Ish Entertainment, Blumhouse Productions and HBO Films. The film examines the American election system and its vulnerabilities to foreign cyberwarfare operations and 2016 presidential election interference. The film also features hackers at the conference DEF CON in their attempts to test the security of electronic voting machines.[1][2][3][4][5]
The film was released on March 26, 2020 by HBO Films.
In 2021 the film was nominated for an Emmy award for Outstanding Investigative Documentary.[6]
The film reveals the hacking attack on the presidential election in 2016, through the exclusive on-camera interview with the hacker known as CyberZeist. CyberZeist penetrated the Alaska Division Of Electionsâ state vote tabulation computer system on 6 and 7 November 2016, and on election day, 8 November 2016.[7][8]CyberZeist successfully achieved this attack only weeks after the Alaska Division Of Elections admitted that Russian hackers had attempted to carry out a comparable attack.[9][10]
The filmâs world famous elections cybersecurity expert, Harri Hursti, discovered that most hackers install a range of software that will be hidden in multiple components of a computer, so that even wiping the hard drive will not remove the hackersâ access. CyberZeist told him, âIâll go under their radar even if they are 24/7 monitoring it [the vote-counting server].â When reviewing the hack on the Alaska Division of Electionsâ servers, Hursti discovered that CyberZeist could read or write any file, including system files: In other words, CyberZeist could have planted vote-stealing software that might still be there, waiting for a command to activate. As Hursti showed in Kill Chain, threat-actors might not even be looking to change results in an election, but to sabotage democracy and bring the process into disrepute.[11]
A bit here about how the Russians tried to rig Ukrainian elections back in 2014:
Date
October 2014 shortly before the Ukrainian parliamentary elections were held.
Suspected Actor
A pro-Russian hacktivist group called CyberBerkut with suspected ties to the GRU hacker group known as APT28 (or Fancy Bear) was allegedly responsible for the attacks.[1]
Target and Method
Four days before the national vote, the Ukrainian central election system was compromised and critical files were deleted, rendering the vote-tallying system inoperable; three days before the national vote, CyberBerkut released exfiltrated data onto the internet as proof of the success of the operation.[2]
Malware, which would have portrayed ultra-nationalist candidate Dmytro Yarosh as the winner with 37 percent of the vote and candidate Petro Poroshenko as having 29 percent of the vote, was installed.[2]
Shortly after polls closed, the website of the Ukrainian Central Election Commission, which organized the elections, was shut down. Ukrainian security officials characterized the operation as a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack, which can slow down or disable a network by flooding it with communications requests.[2]|
|Purpose|The Central Election Commission described the attack as âjust one component in an information war being conducted against our stateâ.[3] The attack can be seen as part of the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, which had started with the annexation of the Crimean Peninsula by Russia in February-March 2014.[4]|
|Result|The vote-tallying system was restored, using backups, three days before the national vote.[2]
Ukrainian cybersecurity personnel were able to remove the malware 40 minutes before election results went live, preventing it from releasing erroneous results.[2]
Election results were blocked for two hours and the final tally was delayed.[2] Nonetheless, Ukrainian officials announced that they had prepared for the possibility of a DDoS attack and used a backup to restore the entire system.[3]|
|Aftermath|Russian media announced that Dmytro Yarosh had won the election with 37 percent of the vote and that Petro Poroshenko had obtained 29 percent of the vote, despite such erroneous results never having been publicly released by Ukrainian officials.[2]
In 2018, Ukrainian officials noted that they were planning to upgrade their information technology infrastructure prior to the 2019 presidential election in order to address a range of cyber security threats that they had expected to face.[5]|
