🔥Breaking part 1 of my, “Fortifying The Election”, series! Here I supplement the Times article with things you don’t know.

The Transition Integrity Projects parent, Protect Democracy, accessed Voter Registration and Ballot systems in the 2020 election! How could we ever trust these programs coming from adamant anti Trumpers? And they are heading for the 2024 election too!

Protect Democracy ran voter registration and ballot protection schemes called Voteshield and BallotShield. The Voteshield was in 19 states and affected 120 million voter records in 2020! Can you guess the 19 states?

♦️First let’s clear this up. The Transition Integrity Project from the Times article was ran by the rabid anti Trump group, Protect Democracy.

Former Democratic Michigan Gov. and Transition Integrity Project participant, Jennifer Granholm in a CNN interview:

“Well, that's the whole point of the -- it's called the Transition Integrity Project. There were 100 participants and, as you say, it was bipartisan, it's sponsored by a non-partisan entity called Protect Democracy.”

Protect Democracy formed in late 2016 to prevent American democracy from declining into a more, “authoritarian form of government”. They are adamantly anti Trump, spent 4 years on nonstop lawfare against him, and implemented some pretty radical things to counter him. We’ll review more ways later, but here’s one 2019, and pre 2020 election quote that displays their hatred: 👇🏻

“But like authoritarian leaders the world over, President Trump has demonstrated little tolerance for those who disagree with him. We are working to prevent the President and our government from being able to bully or punish Americans for voicing their dissent.”

Do you want this handling republican voter registration and absentee ballot tracking and curing files ?

♦️Voteshield

Lisa Monaco 🙀was consulted in making the Voteshield program. She’s currently involved in the DOJ, Election Threats Taskforce. This product also accesses your voter history file too.

“VoteShield, a project of Protect Democracy, is a software platform designed to protect the integrity of U.S. elections by placing a virtual security camera on voter registration databases to detect anomalous activity in voter data. The platform uses publicly available data to consistently track changes to voter rolls and identifies irregularities that may be indicative of malicious interference.”

Here are the Voteshield states during the 2020 election, see all the problematic swing states? Remember the appearing and disappearing registrations and registration changes 2020? Recall the 33,000 zip code changes made in Arizona right before absentee ballots were sent then reversed after? Shouldn’t Voteshield have caught this? 😏

Arizona
Colorado
Florida
Georgia
Iowa
Kansas
Michigan
Minnesota
Mississippi
Nevada
New Hampshire
New Jersey
New York
North Carolina
Ohio
Pennsylvania
Texas
Virginia
Wisconsin

♦️Ballotshield

“BallotShield, a software product that tracks changes to absentee ballot requests, submissions, and curing rates in order to ensure timely processing of voter requests.”

Do you remember all the Democrat areas being offered curing, while republican areas were not?

“Our goal was to be able to spot issues with voting-by-mail at the jurisdictional, precinct, and even address level that might compromise the integrity of the election, and to provide states with an early warning tool for potential administrative errors in the system for requesting, receiving, and casting absentee ballots.”

Remember the nearly zero signature rejections to the point of accepting scribbles? They monitor this too.

They applied what they learned from BallotShield in the general election to the January 5 run-off in Georgia.

This 2020 video is from Skoll’s Freethink and discusses Votershield. Tina Epps Johnson is in this video too.

This was not my big news, we will gently glide into this instead. Sources to follow.
Here’s the evidence that the anti Trump, Protect Democracy, ran the Transition Integrity Project.

This is the transcript for the July 31, 2020 Jennifer Granholm, CNN interview. Bill Kristol was there too. Jennifer is a former MI governor and also a Transition Integrity Project participant.

“Well, that's the whole point of the -- it's called the Transition Integrity Project. There were 100 participants and, as you say, it was bipartisan, it's sponsored by a non-partisan entity called Protect Democracy. And, honestly, Jim, it was -- it was a real eye opener to many of us. It was pretty scary.”

What’s interesting is that I was the first person to ever archive this transcript. Hasn’t anyone else found this to date? I can’t find the actual video though.

archive.is/fkc8EImage
Nobody with this much animosity against a sitting president like Protect Democracy had, should be in charge of anything connected to our elections. Voteshield and Ballotshield need to be trashed!

Recall Protect Democracy ran the Transition Integrity Project which gamed out election scenarios. (As mentioned in the Times article.)

Here’s some quotes from their website. Including their home page!

Home page 👇🏻

“The global autocratic threat has arrived on our shores and our democracy is facing challenges not seen in decades, perhaps longer. Recent years have been marked by deeply concerning presidential abuses of power, deliberate efforts by political leaders to stoke hatred, racism, and misogyny, and failures of our system of checks and balances that have sounded a powerful alarm that—if we are not careful—our democracy could suffer a similar fate.”



“Changes in our media landscape have undermined our shared reality, and President Trump has all but declared war on truth and basic facts. We are working to check the government’s ability to deliberately spread misinformation to help protect the American people’s ability to self-govern.”



American Democracy is in Danger.

“While Donald Trump poses an immediate, acute, and extreme threat to our democracy that must be blunted, he is not the sole cause of the problem and is a symptom of political forces that are eroding support for democracy at home and abroad. Since our launch, this autocratic threat has materialized faster than even we expected.”



“Strong democracies have strong oppositions, who alert the public when those in power are abusing their positions. The United States has a long tradition of vibrant dissent. But like authoritarian leaders the world over, President Trump has demonstrated little tolerance for those who disagree with him. We are working to prevent the President and our government from being able to bully or punish Americans for voicing their dissent.”

🔥🔥She’s back! And here we go again with the crazy election interference! Part 1 : Nina Jankowicz joins forces with a lead from Protect Democracy to mobilize just in time to protect the 2024 election from the Russians and disinfo! Along with a team including Benjamin Wittes!

You may have already heard about this, but not Baad Kitty style! Expect to hear a lot more on this!

Co-founder, Carlos Álvarez-Aranyos, oversaw Protect
Democracy's organization-wide communications, media relations, and strategic communications campaign to protect the 2020 election.

Recall that Protect Democracy created the National Task Force on Election Crises linked to the Transition Integrity Project. The National Task Force on Election Crises included multiple Zuckerbucks folks and worse. Nina can thank me later, but thanks to her, you are gonna get the rest of my, “THE STING”, series. What great timing!

Another staffer, Katie Harbath was a board chair of the Integrity Institute and a chief executive at Anchor Change. At the Integrity Institute, she worked alongside Hallie Stern of the CTIL Files Disarm Fndn that works our DHS.

Warning warning Will Robinson:

“Katie Harbath is a global leader at the intersection of elections, democracy, and technology. As the chief executive of Anchor Change, she helps clients think through tech policy issues. She is the director of technology and democracy for the International Republican Institute and is also a fellow at the “Bipartisan” Policy Center, the Integrity Institute and a nonresident fellow at the Atlantic Council.”

“Katie was involved in this work in major elections for EVERY COUNTRY WORLDWIDE, including the United States, India, Brazil, United Kingdom, European Union, Canada, Philippines, and Mexico.”

Ay, caramba!

Integrity Institute is a project of Community Partners. A social justice org with 180 orgs under sponsorship. And over $80 million annual revenue under management.

Another Sunlight staffer, Emily Horne is a former Twitter employee and a senior advisor to WestExec Advisors. Ouch!

Also recall that the Biden team announced building a huge 2024 election ‘Superstructure’ to Stop Trump From “Stealing” the Election with war games and all! This seems similar to 2020.

And American Sunlight hangs out with our favorite online ELVES, the Lincoln Project and MeidasTouch. (I better get back to my Elves exposure.)

American Sunlight claims that Russia stole the 2016 election, disinformation is rampant, and the “extremist right” has a crazy conspiracy about government censorship.

“Contrary to popular belief, Moscow did not only work to swing the 2016 election, and it didn’t only support President Trump. It amplified divisions in our society because those divisions made America weaker.”

“The United States has done little to improve the health of our information environment. This inaction has left our nation exposed ahead of the 2024 election. And there is a coordinated effort ongoing to keep it that way.”

“Since April 2022, extremists have been running a campaign to undermine critical disinformation research ahead of the 2024 election and beyond.”

“Encompassing elected officials, conservative media, attorneys, paid-for ‘journalists,’ and online influencers, the campaign has falsely claimed the Federal Government is overseeing a vast censorship regime in coordination with social media platforms, academic institutions, and civil society organizations.”

This sounds to me like they want to stop Russia from stealing the election for Trump again by stopping right wing disinfo. 😹 And they call us conspiracists?

Sources to follow, welcome back Nina!Image

They don’t think anyone knows.

#TheSting
Since there are bigger fish to fry than what I mentioned up above, let’s get these sources over with.

Team Members of the American Sunlight Project:

- Nina Jankowicz
- Carlos Álvarez-Aranyos
- Katie Harbath
- Emily Horne
- Ineke Mushovic
- Benjamin Wittes



And here’s why Nina and Carlos started the American Sunlight Project.

“Nina fell into the study of disinformation because our nation faced an exigent threat: Russia, which had been using influence operations for decades, had perfected online information operations in Central and Eastern Europe, and was training its new tools on the United States. We all know what came next. Russia interfered in our democracy. Contrary to popular belief, Moscow did not only work to swing the 2016 election, and it didn’t only support President Trump. It amplified divisions in our society because those divisions made America weaker.

Today, those divisions are wider than ever, and despite a mountain of evidence of the harm online disinformation causes in the real world, the United States has done little to improve the health of our information environment. This inaction has left our nation exposed ahead of the 2024 election. And there is a coordinated effort ongoing to keep it that way.

Since April 2022, extremists have been running a campaign to undermine critical disinformation research ahead of the 2024 election and beyond. Encompassing elected officials, conservative media, attorneys, paid-for ‘journalists,’ and online influencers, the campaign has falsely claimed the Federal Government is overseeing a vast censorship regime in coordination with social media platforms, academic institutions, and civil society organizations. It has relied on widespread smears against individual researchers and government employees, which have led to online and offline threats against them and their families, and a chilling effect across the research community.

We believe this campaign represents the greatest threat to freedom of expression and academic integrity since the McCarthy Era. The researchers are the canaries in the coal mine, and those canaries are getting snuffed out. Meanwhile, more foreign adversaries are engaging in information warfare. Artificial intelligence is supercharging disinformation, making it easy for anyone after power or profit to create increasingly realistic fake images, audio, video, or generate targeted text-based disinformation at scale. Without a shared set of facts and a trusted public square, democracy can’t function.”

🔥Norm Eisen and Brookings work with the Biden admin! And they help him get rid of the iliberalism in the US that threatens democracy!

Biden created the Summit for democracy (S4D) because of what he calls a threat to democracy in the USA!

And to quote Eisen and his coauthors in respect to Bidens Summit:

“Survival of liberal democracy hangs in the balance in 2024”

Norm Eisen & Brookings are part of the Biden admin, calls Trump a criminal, & has enthusiastically assisted the prosecution of Trump. Biden is guilty of going after his political opponent.

This is Part 13 of my Open Government Partnership (OGP) and Open Government Hub (OGH) series.

The Open Government Partnership that Norm Eisen & Brookings is heavily involved in, is a Biden Admin led project. Let alone all of its leftist billionaire funders. And does Tides still manage this?

Flashback to my previous reporting that Norm Eisen always had been involved in the OGP. (See photo) Well, he’s still very much involved.

Eisen & Brookings are partnered with the OGP for their ACDS project. (Read down for more on the ACDS, and see photo of Eisen saying this org would help going after Trump.)

And they partnered with the OGP, State Dept & USAID for Summit For Democracy work:

“Convened after the first Summit for Democracy in December 2021, the Financial Transparency and Integrity (FTI) Democracy Cohort is a multi-stakeholder platform co-led by USAID, the Dept of State, Brookings Institution, & the Open Government Partnership.”

At the second Summit, the Brookings, State Dept, and Open Gov Partnerships, FTI cohort pledged to address the professional “enablers” of corruption.”

In a podcast, Eisen said that Biden CREATED the Summit For Democracy because democracy is under threat in the USA (and elsewhere). But by who? Trump? Because they have nothing but animus for Trump & call him a criminal.

Here’s some Eisen podcast quotes:

“With democracy under THREAT in the UNITED STATES & around the world, Biden initiated an annual gathering of all of the world’s democracies. It’s called the Summit for Democracy. And the first two were hosted by the US.”

“thousands of people there. So, myself and my colleagues in the ACDS program here in Brookings Governance Studies—Anti-Corruption, Democracy, and Security—it’s really become one of our signal signature Brookings’s anti-corruption efforts over the years.”

Then the podcast asked Eisen about this quote to Congress:

“The most imminent threat of that weaponization now facing us as a nation [is] Donald Trump’s record of weaponizing the government and his promises to double down should he return to power.”

EISEN in response to above comment at the podcast: “I think that there can be no more important issue both in the US and around the world. And, Fred, that’s why Brookings has made the big investment that it has in our Anti-Corruption, Democracy and Security, ACDS, Initiative.”

Also recall my early reporting that during a Summit, Samantha Power said big tech disinfo needed reigned in. Is this censorship of republicans how they are saving democracy?

“The Administrator (Power) and Ms. Ressa exchanged ideas about the most effective tools and partnerships for addressing disinfo, and discussed the importance of holding major social media and technology companies accountable for the spread of falsehoods on their platforms.”

Here’s what OGP has to say about the Summit.

“OGP can help to implement (the) Summit For Democracy commitments, because it allows governments to design, implement, and track commitments with civil society.. Embedding S4D commitments in OGP action plans can ensure that civil society has a voice in advancing reforms and can help drive implementation through monitoring and learning.”

“OGP (has a) role as co-lead of the S4D Financial Transparency and Integrity Cohort with the US gov and the Brookings Institution.”

Expect to see tons of evidence, additional sources, & evidence of Trump animus by many involved with OGP.Image
Image
Image
Image
Under Brookings Summit For Democracy discussions, Eisen and his coauthors discuss how their ACDS is partnered with Bidens Open Government Partnership. They also said in this article that Liberal Democracy was in danger.

In my next post I’ll also show how Eisen personally said the ACDS was created just because of Trump.

“The survival of liberal democracy hangs in the balance in 2024”

“Open Government Partnership (OGP), a partner in the Brookings ACDS project, is supporting 18 countries to implement their commitments through OGP action plans, as of June 2023.”

“The global push to combat corruption has been buoyed, in part, through a vast array of global commitments made by governments at multilateral fora, such as the preceding Summits for Democracy, the 2023 Open Government Partnership (OGP) Summit, and the recent 10th session of the Conference of the States Parties (COSP10) to the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC). Of course, making commitments is one thing, delivering on them is another. That is why the Brookings Institution’s global Anti-Corruption, Democracy and Security (ACDS) project, launched in December, is tracking Summit for Democracy anti-corruption commitments and their implementation in the lead up to S4D3.

web.archive.org/web/2024030615…Image
Image
Image
Image
Here’s an interview with Norm Eisen. And he said that Trump was why Brookings created the ACDS that works with Bidens Open Government Partnership.

“DEWS: I’d like to wrap up Norm on this question of former President Trump and the election. You testified to Congress, the House of Representatives Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, in which you said, quote, “the most imminent threat of that weaponization now facing us as a nation [is] Donald Trump’s record of weaponizing the government and his promises to double down should he return to power,” unquote. So, what would a second Trump term mean for U.S. anti-corruption agenda at home and abroad as well? What would it mean for the Summit for Democracy?

EISEN: I think that there can be no more important issue both in the United States and around the world. And, Fred, that’s why Brookings has made the big investment that it has in our Anti-Corruption, Democracy and Security, ACDS, Initiative. We believe that the fight against corruption and the work that we do, meeting our hallmarks of, quality, impact, and above all, independence—it’s not always popular when you talk about corruption and when I testified and laid down the gauntlet, some of those on the dais, some of those members pushed back, and I pushed back on the push back.”

Then Norm goes on to accuse both Trump and Bolsonaro of purposely making false election claims.

(Two extremely popular populist leaders should not have lost in my opinion.)

“And we have seen a phenomenon—I’ve written about it with our colleague Elaine Kamarck—in the United States of attempting to undermine and threaten our elections by making false claims about their validity or articulating bogus legal challenges. So, it’s both false facts and evidence on the one hand about the legitimacy of elections, claims that elections were stolen when no such thing happened. The American election system is vibrant. But we’re expecting to see that.

And on the other hand, false legal attacks on our elections. We are attempting to see that again in the United States and around the world. This phenomenon of election denial is not unique. When Mr. Bolsonaro lost his election in Brazil, he also claimed it was stolen falsely. There was also an attack on their legislature like our January 6th attack on Congress. And like in our country, there are criminal proceedings relating to all of that activity. Investigations and cases going on in Brazil. It’s very important that you have accountability when such conduct transpires.”

🚨Local governments and courts are at risk of a UN and leftist billionaire global takeover! The US now has 3 cities that are members of the Open Government Partnership (OGP)! New York City is one of them!

And OGP also runs an Open Justice project that is linked to the American bar association!! And utilizes CIVIL SOCIETY! We are being globalized and infiltrated on a major level!

Also recall that Tides managed OGP and it’s funded by leftist billionaires? This isn’t a government org, it’s a leftist romping ground!

This is part 12 of my series on the Open Government Partnership and Open Government Hub.

Yes it seems OGP is working their way down into local governments and courts! New York is where they seem to be charging Trump for everything imaginable. Isn’t it an interesting coincidence that NY city itself partnered with OGP who is now centered on the courts?

The two other cities are Austin TX and Los Angeles, CA.

❗️Breaking updated list, post edited! The OGP Justice Program partners with:

•Asociación Civil por la Igualdad y la Justicia (ACIJ)

•The Hague Institute for Innovation of Law (HiiL)

•Namati

•Open Society Justice Initiative (OSJI)

•Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)

•Pathfinders for Peaceful, Just and Inclusive Societies

•Red Internacional de Justicia Abierta (RIJA)

•UN Development Programme (UNDP)

•UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC)

•United States Agency for International Development (USAID)

•World Justice Project (WJP) - American bar association created org)

*Now this is going to tie in majorly to my Trump and the courts series. Which will be updated in the near future.*

This OGP Justice program heavily relies on United Nations Justice programs centered in New York City:

“Much of the current global momentum around justice derives from its inclusion in the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development – marking the first time justice was placed on the international development agenda.”

“Launched in 2018 as an initiative of the Pathfinders for Peaceful, Just and Inclusive Societies, the Task Force on Justice brings together UN member states, international organizations, civil society, and the private sector to accelerate delivery of the SDG targets for peace, justice, and inclusion.”

Later on, OGP started calling this justice program the OGP Coalition on Justice. And once again this is a joint government and civil society combined effort.

If we allow this to continue, we will have leftist billionaires and the UN ruling our courts forever. No wonder Trump and his associates are being persecuted.

And also, wouldn’t this involve the State Dept and USAID funding changes in the US Justice system since they fund OGP? And also USAID partners with the OGP Justice program! What a slippery slope!

We must stop this Open Government Partnership if the Republican Party wants to survive!

Leftist Billionaires fund and run a US government program, of course they want to expand US social justice and ACCOUNTABILITY.

Is this where the Trump and associates, “accountability”, is coming from? Why don’t we just ask Norm Eisen and Brookings after part 13?

And maybe the partnered World Justice Project ran by the American Bar Association and partnered with the Open Government Partnership (OGP)?

“OGP works to expand responsiveness, accountability and inclusion into all systems of justice. For members of OGP, justice is a popular policy area for reform that has become an even greater priority in recent years.”

🔥🔥🔥Oh blimey, how did I forget I had this? The Open Government Partnership is partnered with the Center for Court Innovation! But keep reading because it gets even worse!

The Center for Court Innovation runs the Manhattan Attorney Generals Court Resource center. And it’s located right next to the Manhattan courts!

AND the Center for Court Innovation also works with the Georgia State Courts and with Fani Willis’s Fulton County!


And here we go! OGP is working with the American Bar Association! And also this is heavily saturated with the United Nations obviously.

Grievance procedures:

“Working with the national bar or law societies, improve or develop grievance procedures related to the practice of law. This can enable individuals to file formal complaints related to their legal representation, a prosecutor’s conduct, or judicial officer’s conduct.”

“OGP Steering Committee formally endorsed the use of OGP action plans to support the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to, “Promote the rule of law consistent with international standards at the national, regional and international level through transparency, openness, accountability, access to justice and effective and inclusive institutions [emphasis added].”



And what do they mean here by 72 commitments from courts and 13 from prosecutors? (See photo) And this was back in 2020 when they were just firing their engines.

Oh wait, here, maybe this explains it. 😏

🔹 A full set of justice reforms will need to move beyond courts​. Opening the justice system requires proactive work on the part of many actors, including courts, police, prosecutors, legal aid providers, and pretrial and corrections services.

🔸OGP members can build on these initiatives with commitments that also guarantee accountability mechanisms that strengthen the justice system’s independence, impartiality, and integrity.

Accountability by leftist billionaires against who?



Just a reminder, these are the leftist billionaires who fund the Open Government Partnership. (See last photo)

I’ll link the 🧵 on the Center for Court Innovation next.web.archive.org/web/2021090422…

❗️Yikes! Bidens Open Government Partnership is expanding! And will be combining civil society NGO’s with feds at this newest branch too. And an Omidyar director sat on the OGP steering committee!

This is part 11 of my continuing series on the Open Government Partnership (OGP) and the Open Government Hub (OGH).

For a government org that promotes openness, how come it’s so difficult to find their civil society and steering committee cohorts? Read on to see what I found, so far.

1. The U.S General Services Administration (GSA) announced on April, 26, 2024:

“Plans to create a new Open Government Federal Advisory Committee (OG FAC).

Supported by the Open Government Secretariat Program Management Office - established in 2023 - the OG FAC will advise GSA on open government initiatives including GSA’s creation, implementation, and monitoring of U.S. Open Government National Action Plans and related commitments.”

The National Action Plan is what Biden and other countries submit to the Open Government Partnership with their anti corruption plans.

I really don’t like the sounds of this:

“The OG FAC will comprise a cross-section of government and industry representatives from federal agencies, state and local government, industry associates and academia.”

“GSA looks forward to welcoming a diverse group of voices from civil society to this important new federal advisory committee,”

2. It was interesting that an Omidyar Director was once mentioned as being on the Steering Committee. This would be along with Gov officials. If you ask me, it seems dangerous for republicans having leftist billionaires running the show.

“Martin Tisné, the Director of Policy at the Omidyar Network and a steering committee member of OGP has, on numerous times, stressed the importance of civil society participation in OGP. He actually terms it as one of three “rules” of OGP:

Who else of their funders are on the steering committee? Recall the World Bank required staff at OGP as part of their grant. Were they on the steering committee too? What about Open Society and Ford Fndn etc? I need more answers here.

3. Ok now for the good part. The Civil Society NGO’s the OGP works with.

It seems another org coordinated OGP’s civil society crew.

“OpenTheGovernment. org (OTG) has served to coordinate the work of US civil society organizations on the US National Action Plans since the inception of the Open Government Partnership in 2011.”

So I found their members page, are these the folks that work with OGP? After Mid 2022 tho, POGO took over for OTG and it’s hard to find this same info there.

This 2022 list is massive tho! Consider mention of this OpenTheGovernment site a warm up. There’s more to come on them.

Today I’m trying to put out 3 🧵 on OGP. The last one will be significant, and you don’t want to miss this.

This expansion is worrisome to me. There’s more going on at this Open Government Partnership (OPG) right now than you realize. You see, I’ve been unwittingly reporting on their handiwork for years! I’ll explain more in a bit.

Here’s the notice on the New Open Government Partnership branch.

“The OG FAC will comprise a cross-section of government and industry representatives from federal agencies, state and local government, industry associates and academia.”

“GSA looks forward to welcoming a diverse group of voices from civil society to this important new federal advisory committee,”

The National Action Plan is the one submitted to OGP.

“We look forward to receiving innovative suggestions on the development of the sixth Open Government National Action Plan as well as other efforts to strengthen open government policy and public engagement.”

This one document is important because it provides info on two things.

1. OpenTheGoverment handled civil society for the Open Government Partnership (OGP). (Pogo took over later)”.)

2. An Omidyar Director sat on the OGP steering committee.

“ (OTG) has served to coordinate the work of US civil society organizations on the US National Action Plans since the inception of the Open Government Partnership in 2011.”

“Martin Tisné, the Director of Policy at the Omidyar Network and a steering committee member of OGP has, on numerous times, stressed the importance of civil society participation in OGP. He actually terms it as one of three “rules” of OGP:”

I’ve always suspected that leftist billionaires staff sat on the OGP steering committee. This area needs more work by me or anyone that wants to help.
