ELECTIONS CAN BE HACKED 2.70 [Economic Battle PlanTM points: 200)
ALERT: The integrity of the 2020 election could be at risk! Economic War Room releases further findings from a cyber-forensic investigation on election fraud and compromised electronic voting machines. This is an extension and important update from Episodes 20 and 21.
Background Briefing: The likelihood of full-scale, organized election fraud is no longer just a possibility. It’s a REALITY. This is not a partisan issue. It’s an AMERICAN issue.
Your briefing this week brings real-life evidence of vulnerabilities in our electronic voting systems never seen before by the public. The potential for election fraud on a national scale is real. We encourage you to read this battleplan and watch the entire episode as it includes actual video footage of a “white-hat” hacker explaining the ability to access our supposedly secure US voting system. This was done without a hack, in open source, through public access software.
As you review the findings there are two questions to ask? 1. Is this incompetence or intentional?
2. Why are the election security companies literally leaving the password keys at the door?
Regardless of the reason, this report highlights major security issues as we approach the 2020 presidential election.
Historically, as election inconsistencies are spotted, questions are quickly brushed off and the losing candidate is asked to concede with dignity. The reason? Supposedly to maintain the integrity (or the perception of) the US election system. Making matters worse, voting inconsistencies that may merit further investigation are typically met with a refusal from election officials to share voter logs. Given recent activity, and new insights uncovered in this week’s briefing, election theft concerns are valid, and action needs to be taken immediately to secure our elections!
Your Mission: Electoral theft is an economic weapon! Your mission is to stay alert and educated as it relates to Election Fraud. Second, to stand together for a movement toward including paper ballots with an audit process that ensures a fair 2020 election. TIME IS URGENT!!

Ep. 2.70 (OSINT) Open Sourced Intelligence Briefing with highlights, quotes, and summaries of conversations in the Economic War Room with Kevin Freeman. Kevin invited Russ Ramsland who has been studying this problem and “white-hat” hacker Jekyll to share their findings as it relates the integrity of today’s electronic voting machine.
A preview of Ep. 70 Election Fraud Exposed, troubling inconsistencies nobody is talking about - Economic War Room with Kevin Freeman was provided to Eric Georgatos who has featured highlights in an article he wrote for American Thinker, “Election Fraud on a National Scale.” We have also included parts of his summary analysis, quotes, and action steps in this briefing and noted with †.

One of the voting machine companies responsible for securing our election data is Tenex. According to their website, they serve 23-25 million voters and operate in 15 states.
“Tenex is currently operating in 15 states. They’re operating for all the hot-bed areas in Florida. If you remember in 2018 when they were talking about problems in Broward County and Palm Beach, Tenex was running all of those locations. Cook County, Chicago is run by Tenex. So is L.A. and San Francisco. They’re headquartered in San Francisco. Tenex is actually run by a foreign national who lives in San Francisco.” –Jekyll - “White-Hat” Hacker
At Issue: The Economic War Room report found†:
1. Security settings on the voting machines were disabled.
2. Penetration and manipulation of actual vote tabulations was (and remains) possible.
3. Evidence already exists that votes may have been electronically manipulated to change election results.
“This is the 21st century version of Stalin’s ruthless observation, ‘It’s not the people who vote that count, it’s the people who count the votes.’ Only today, Stalin types can do it all by online penetration of unsecure ‘voting machines’ to count and alter votes, and leave almost no IT fingerprints.” –Eric Georgatos, American Thinker
page 3 ELECTIONS CAN BE HACKED 2.70 [Economic Battle PlanTM points: 200)
The Economic War Room Report on Election Fraud highlights include†: • The security protections in software (operated on voting machines throughout the country) may have been purposely disabled or ‘un-activated’.
• Penetration of the machines was possible via online access methods widely understood among reasonably sophisticated IT people.
• The people we are paying to secure our systems are the ones that are exposing us.
• Mismatches in time-stamped dataflows suggest votes were possibly changed.
For example, using open-source “Burp Suite” web-crawling software, the investigators looked into a company that supplies software used at polling locations in Texas and 15 other states.
THE RESULTS:
“Readily accessible information was identified within this company’s website showing possibly purposeful disclosure of passwords. With these anyone could log in to databases that include a wide range of voter and precinct and poll- worker information, including voter names, addresses, social security numbers, driver’s license numbers, etc.
More devastating, accessible ‘storyboards’ effectively amount to disclosure of source code for this software (in both iOS and Android form), opening up a range of nefarious ‘black-hat’ hacking and manipulation that can enable, in bottom line terms, control over any and every voting result.
Enabling of access by which all of this manipulation is possible, appears to the investigators – and apparently would appear to anyone with a reasonable amount of relevant IT knowledge – to have been purposeful.”
page 4 ELECTIONS CAN BE HACKED 2.70 [Economic Battle PlanTM points: 200)
What has been found in Dallas correlates closely with ‘flaws’ recently reported to have been discovered by, among others, MIT Technology Review in Switzerland’s voting systems. These flaws also allow for votes to be altered without detection. The company involved in Switzerland is, according to Ramsland, tied to George Soros, and operated voting machines used in the 2019 Kentucky election.
THE IMPLICATIONS: Highlights from American Thinker Article “Election Fraud on a National Scale” by Eric Georgatos sums it up well:
“Conservative punditry tends to fall in line in accepting the premises of ‘mainstream media’ narratives on electoral trends.
To wit, Senator Ted Cruz’ tight 2018 re-election victory over Beto O’Rourke proved there’s a blue wave building, even in Texas. It proved Cruz’ brand of conservatism was going out of favor; it proved Beto O’Rourke had unique political talent and national fund-raising/star-power. (And the implications of all this ‘proof’ apparently caused the GOP-controlled Texas state legislature in 2019 to back off across a wide range of conservative legislative initiatives for fear that such initiatives are out of favor with what they believed to be the increasingly blue mood of the electorate.)
But what if all that ‘proof’ was a complete delusion? What if an honest vote tabulation would have had Cruz winning by 10 points or more? What if congressional seats that flipped to Democrats in Texas in 2018 – to wit, Congressman Pete Sessions’ loss to Democrat Collin Allred – were not losses at all, but were entirely the product of election fraud? What if Texas State
page 5 ELECTIONS CAN BE HACKED 2.70 [Economic Battle PlanTM points: 200)
representative elections – many of which went Democrat in 2018 by strangely and suspiciously similar margins – were also fraudulent? All of that appears far more plausible than the actual outcomes in those races; in all events, an investigation is warranted.”
“If a Black Hatter infused an Internal Blue (NSA tool whose existence was leaked by Snowden) into our voting system, then he could have access to every system that every voting company in the United States had. And we have seen that already happening. They are showing everyone how to be able to do it and these companies have not secured any of it.”
“We can change the source code. We can change everyone’s votes to where let’s say there’s a real-time election taking place. I can change the votes and make it look like it was never even changed. And that becomes what you actually voted.” –Jekyll, “White-Hat” Hacker
It is not a simple as replacing one voting machine company:
• There are other electronic polling companies that promise security, but all their systems are compromised as well. They all communicate into the same system.
• ES&S, Clarity, Dominion, Hart InterCivic, and CentralPoint are examples of other voting machine companies.
• According to Jekyll, looking at their source code reveals that all the voting machine companies in the market took Smartmatic code from Europe and transferred their programing into different languages. They are using the same flaws that have been there since the 1980’s.
• They all appear to be leaving keys on top of the mat making Elections surprisingly unsecure and vulnerable. Fraud is easy.
page 6 ELECTIONS CAN BE HACKED 2.70 [Economic Battle PlanTM points: 200)
• Recently, a major flaw has been found in Switzerland’s online voting system. Scytl counts the votes in Switzerland as well as the US.
• According to Russ Ramsland, Scytl is a Barcelona based company and that according to press reports indicate connections to George Soros.
• Scytl comprises the actual vote counters in the United States and around the world. Clarity recently tabulated the votes in the Kentucky Governor’s race where potential vote counting inconsistencies were observed on CNN. Scytl USA does the actual vote counting for Clarity. (See 45:17-time code on full show video to watch one inconsistency)
• Voter logs should be required to learn more in cases like this, but they have not been made available.
• The two voting companies that are most prominent in Kentucky are Hart InterCivic and ES&S Voting Systems. Both of them upload votes to Clarity Elections which is Scytl.
If you were a “black-hat” hacker with the wrong intent, what could you do?
“With the tool sets that are out there just on open source? These entire systems can be compromised in seconds, not in minutes, not in days, in seconds. This is a National Security issue it could be a state actor, you also look at organizations within the United States. You have businesses that give politicians millions of dollars to push their agenda. Now, all the sudden, they want to make sure that their politician gets into office.” –Jekyll

Why you should care? → A compromised vote-tabulation system destroys trust in elections. It makes voting, campaigning, door-knocking, advertising, and message strategizing pointless.†
→ Widespread public understanding of the ease of hidden vote tabulation manipulation, and the possibility (or probability) that American elections are rigged, would be a national soul-shattering, social-fabric-rending event. (This may partially explain government reluctance to investigate, as the mere acknowledgement of an investigation of this level of fraud may by itself be confidence-shattering to the public).†
→ If the fraud is as widespread and systemic as Episode #70 indicates, there may not be a technical fix in time for the 2020 elections.†
→ The Swiss have realized there is a huge potential for election fraud. It is time for America to wake up to this risk!
→ Does it make sense that a company in Barcelona, Spain is monitoring our elections and not an American company?

In the Economic War Room, we encourage Americans to be the “small ships that make the difference.” You cannot solely rely on the government or the president to solve your problems. You have to make a difference. It is up to you to help take our country back and create a voice for economic liberty.
Action Steps: Share this battle plan with your friends and your financial advisors.
1. Contact your representatives and send this battle plan to them to ensure there is true integrity in our election system.
2. A vigorous investigation, exposure and correction would be a monumental republic- restoring process. AG William Barr needs to get on this!†
3. The only solution in time for 2020 may be by paper ballot, counted manually in all 50 states. Party affiliation should not matter, all of America should join in this demand.†
4. We need an American grassroots effort on a scale never before seen to demand the 2020 election be by paper ballot and counted manually in all 50 states.† Note: Paper ballots need to read by voter marks only, not a barcode print out as there is no way to tell if the barcode reader (which can be hacked) is saying the same thing that voters ticked on the ballot.
