Holy crap. This is a hand grenade tossed into what seems to be a house of cards. And there is corroboration. This would be Charles Flynn, currently in charge of the US Pacific Army. Which raises some pretty troubling questions.

@thomasafine @anaphoristand @GGovic @z3dster @ScottMStedman @charleskriel Yeah, stuff like this is why I leave 5% "maybe" in my personal estimate for hinky stuff.

Here's my timeline I cobbled together a couple of years ago on this, if you see something wrong please let me know :) @thomasafine @anaphoristand @GGovic @z3dster @ScottMStedman @charleskriel

This is a great run-down of this very confusing story. It’s also very alarming because it highlights the issue of insider threats. It looks like Peters, an election official, was radicalized and recruited by Lindell’s loose band of “election integrity” con artists. If so, that seems similar to other problems of radicalization of insiders. How can we combat this?

Hi @SenFeinstein! I wanted to call to share my views about your literal embrace of Lindsay Graham yesterday. It seems that a lot of other people have things to say, too — voicemail is full in every one of your local offices and your DC office line is continuously busy. So I’m going to just share them here in public. Buckle up.

This was the most tone-deaf, poorly timed, badly thought out gesture ever. It’s convinced me that we need new leadership on Judiciary. I also believe that you should retire and make room for a newly appointed Senator

@bitchy_meats "Respiratory droplets" is what's known as a "term of art", meaning, it has implications that go beyond what we normal folk would think. It has a 100 year history in public health, and if you say "respiratory droplets" public health officials hear "not spread through air". @bitchy_meats By which they mean, not spread by air currents, not hanging in the air for long periods of time, but in the form of droplets that quickly (a few seconds) fall to the ground, unless you're REALLY unlucky and get sneezed on.

In the face of official deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. The CDC published, then pulled, guidance that the coronavirus commonly spreads via aerosols. (Which is absolutely supported by the science.)

Left: Friday's update
Right: Today's coverup ImageImage Friday's change was hailed among researchers as a major step forward in figuring out _effective responses_ to the pandemic.

Monday's cover-up is, therefore, a major step backwards. It's unconscionable. It's dangerous. And it's going to get (more) people killed.

So this shows the kinds of clear votes that the GA scanners fail to “see”, and also, fail to flag as ambiguous, so they’re lost.

(It ain’t what you don’t know that gets you, it’s what you know that ain’t so.) How many real voters make marks like these? We don’t know, because they don’t do human audits in GA! (By SOS regs, only votes the _machine_ days are ambiguous can be human-reviewed.)

Ah. So in 2018, ahead of midterms, malware on at least 2 election registration systems existed that was capable of demographic-targeted erasure of voter records. (Found in FL.) So this is the primary threat I’ve been concerned about since 2016 in terms of electronic hacking. These are soft targets, offices use commercial software and communicate w Internet etc., and it would be surprising if this wasn’t attempted by somebody, really.

“Overall, the focus of my organization – and most of Facebook – was on large-scale problems, an approach which fixated us on spam,” she said. “The civic aspect was discounted because of its small volume, its disproportionate impact ignored.”
THIS đź–• The memo (excerpts) read like an employee well aware of the dangers and trying to work as hard as possible to hold back the tide -- but being chronically de-prioritized for years.

This is totally illegal just about everywhere, but they’re relying on doing this quietly so any enforcement would be too little too late.

They could do nightmare things. Want to hear one? What if the app detected when the owner was entering a polling place. Sends them a text message saying “We see you’re voting! Make sure to vote for Trump — we’ll be checking up later!” — implying they can pierce the secrecy of the vote in a message that proves they know location

Of course.

You know, a simple system that just flagged for manual review every mention (and misspelling) of “Antifa” would probably be 99% precise in identifying disinformation this weekend. Prioritize by reach of post to leverage limited manual review resources. This is not technically hard at all. A set of regexps would handle the filtering. The manual review: A little expensive, sure.

Facebook had $22,000,000,000 in revenues last year.

@markniesse So first off, given the timeframe, I don't know that there's much else to do than to cater to the limitations of the optical scanning software that GA has purchased; which means a huge voter education drive to FILL IN BUBBLES and never use check marks or X's. @markniesse I will note this still appears to contradict GA election law, and that there are ways to meet both in a reasonable way, but the GA SEB does not appear to want to listen to reason on this issue. That said, I have some technical notes about the details of this report.

Once again, @AP, @CNN, and whoever else needs to hear it: It is not your job to write down competing statements about the weather and call it a day. It’s your job — your CORE job — to look out the fucking window and report the truth, and how it compares to the statements. The behavior documented in that thread is absolutely indefensible in the year 2020 in America. And this is the crap that has gotten us where we are today.

Is the peoblem that you only respond when people yell at you, and a lot of delusional people yell at you? Ok.

In January 2017, I wrote some general advice to myself and others on dealing with Donald Trump, a clearly Axis II Cluster B personality disordered individual, who was also about to become President of the United States. Bad situation.
abstractioneer.org/2017/01/how-to… I tried to imagine what might possibly be useful -- "Do not engage", "Be BIFF", "Believe actions, not words", "Do not give the benefit of the doubt", "Use positive reinforcement", "Don't normalize the abnormal", "Be patient and proactive".

A great interview with Peter Strzok which also touches on the CI issue. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/… Image

So Mueller’s team is focused on pre-election campaign crimes; they show whatever they find to the embedded FBI agents; the embedded FBI agents send written reports, per Mueller for CI investigation (who, exactly?) to process... but were they being suppressed? Was the CI investigation a coherent team effort or just an assignment filled by multiple people over time? If the latter, wouldn’t it be easy for things to be dropped and missed — like the fact that Mueller’s team was not looking at finances?

ROD ROSENSTEIN SECRETLY KILLED THE COUNTERINTELLIGENCE INVESTIGATION IN 2017! The American public — and Congress — has been lied to for three years, leading us to believe that the FBI was doing an appropriate CI investigation, leading the acting director of the FBI to believe that... when that was a lie.

This is pretty interesting. Hmm. cloudresearch.com/resources/blog… “it is important to remember that this is self-report data, which may not perfectly align with people’s real world behavior” is pretty self referential :). I guess there could be respondents who lie to pollsters about voting, who also lie to these researchers about that.

Hmm... so that polling data being fed from Trump campaign to Russian oligarchs was pretty detailed: "In general, these documents provided all responses for each polled question on a questionnaire, which usually included approximately 100 questions."
