Protests in Algeria, where 81-year old Abdelaziz Bouteflika, who has been president since 1999, is seeking reelection. "No to a fifth term" is what they're chanting.
Spot the free & fair elections:
1999: Bouteflika wins elections by 74%
2004: Bouteflika wins by 85%
2008: Bouteflika gets term limits removed
2009: Bouteflika wins by 90%
2014: Bouteflika wins by 82%
2019: Bouteflika, 81 years old and in a wheelchair, seeks another term
Another video of protest in Algiers.

For the last two weeks, we’ve been investigating the connection between AMI's leak of Jeff Bezos' personal texts and selfies, and Saudi Arabia - and we've found more convergences of timing than can possibly be a coincidence. Article here, thread follows: thedailybeast.com/how-the-saudis…
This previous thread explores how AMI coordinated with the Saudis to publish a PR magazine for MBS. They then insisted no coordination, even though there’s proof they did coordinate.
AMI was deeply in debt - $1.3 billion deep - before they built a relationship with the Saudis. After the magazine incident, their agent received a $400m investment from the Saudis. A few months later, despite being in debt, AMI bought out its biggest competitor for $80 million.

Protesters in Sudan showing solidarity with protesters in Algeria. Echoes from 2011, when the same slogans would show up in 5 or 6 countries.

Whoever says it's all over, the Arab Spring is dead, and the Arab masses are now docile and obedient subjects who have accepted authoritarian rule: Eat shit.

So, not many people may know this, but discrimination based on "ethnic" hair is a real thing with real consequences. And to think a law had to be passed.
Back in 2016, a third grader girl was sent home from school because her (natural) hair was deemed "inappropriate" and against the school's "code of conduct". thegrio.com/2016/05/08/bla…
Also from 2016, this article about employers demanding that Black women not wear their hair naturally, because their natural hair is deemed "unprofessional". She's asked to wear a weave at work. bbc.com/news/uk-362798…

1. The Obama WH official involved in "the coordination"
was Obama’s Chief of Staff Denis McDonough.

It appears he coordinated w/Democratic Senate Leader Harry Reid &
CIA Leaker John Brennan.

And The FBI knew about it judging from the newly-revealed Page-Strzok texts.
2. It puts the LIE to Obama’s statmnt that "he was hands-off."
Fox News published the texts of Peter Strzok and his paramour Lisa Page, showing the coordination among the FBI, CIA Director John Brennan, and Barack Obama’s Chief of Staff Denis McDonough: foxnews.com/politics/2018/…
3. Page texted Strzok on Aug 2, 2016, saying:
“Make sure you can lawfully protect what you sign."
"Just thinking about congress, foia, etc. You probably know better than me.”

So I was asked what kind of research can be done to help #BanDigitalElections and I was able to list out some investigation agendas. These agendas (and maybe some more) EVM investigation angles have been on my mind, and I follow them now and then, but just chaotically.
So I shall list out EVM research points here, so that anyone who wants to investigate & put up the fight to #BanDigitalElections can do so. Few persons or orgs may or may not be able to save country. Whole country must save itself. Many heads better than one! Release the Kraken!
1) Establish your case how there can be no election integrity,no genuine elections, unless elections are free & fair, transparent & accountable to all stakeholders including layman citizens. There are reputed international democracy promoting orgs, treaties, publications on this.
