Beware: Anti-BigTech Legislation Has a Free Speech Poison Pill | Revolver

Just two decades ago, most Americans worried little about the size and power of Big Tech. They were the most innovative and successful U.S. companies on the world stage, as well as powerful engines for jobs and economic growth, so why interfere? Now, though, Americans know better. It is increasingly obvious that the American people’s freedoms end where the power of tech megacorporations begins.

Superficially, Big Tech is one of the only issues where the right and left of America have some degree of unity: Both dislike Big Tech’s sheer power and would prefer to scale it back. As a result, there is a good chance that two antitrust bills currently under consideration in Congress will actually pass, instead of going nowhere like the vast majority of legislation.

But Americans should not be misled. These two bills, the Open App Markets Act and the American Innovation and Choice Online Act (AICOA), are highly flawed, and unless they are improved before passage, instead of fixing the censorship threat of Big Tech they would make it more robust than ever before.

For nationalists, populists, conservatives, and dissidents of all stripes, the single biggest problem with tech is not its size, but how effectively it can exploit chokepoints to shut down dissident speech. In theory, both of these bills could strike a major blow against censorship and in favor of free speech and freedom of association. Instead, both bills contain loopholes that allow tech giants to keep exercising the same monopoly powers they always have, as long as it is in the name of “safety.”

• Open App Markets:  “a covered company shall not be in violation of section 3 for an action that is—(A) necessary to achieve user privacy, security, or digital safety…“

• AICOA: “It shall be an affirmative defense to an action under paragraph (1), (2), or (3) of subsection (a) if the defendant establishes by a preponderance of the evidence that the conduct was narrowly tailored, nonpretextual, and reasonably necessary to—(B) protect safety, user privacy, the security of nonpublic data, or the security of the covered platform…”

Neither bill actually defines what “safety” is, but the word is already well-established in the tech world as a euphemism for “censorship.” YouTube’s calls its content moderation division YouTube Trust and Safety; Twitter’s moderation advisory group is the Twitter Trust and Safety Council; the World Economic Forum’s initiative to increase digital censorship is titled Advancing Global Digital Content Safety; in the U.K., Boris Johnson’s new bill to combat “disinformation and misinformation” online is called the Online Safety Bill. When Apple banned Parler after January 6, it was to stop “threats to people’s safety.” When Amazon followed behind and kicked Parler off Amazon Web Services, it was because the company “poses a very real risk to public safety.”

If these vague loopholes remain in place, then instead of using Big Tech antitrust to empower dissidents, these bills will give them explicit approval from Congress to continue censorship in the guise of safety.

The fix, fortunately, is straightforward: embed the First Amendment in the law. Just as the government cannot suppress political speech on the grounds that it endangers “safety,” neither should the powerful corporations that increasingly exercise quasi-governmental powers of their own. Republicans should fight to add text which makes it clear that “safety” can never be used as a mere pretext for censorship: explicitly state that tech giants can never engage in deplatforming or censorship over speech that is protected by the First Amendment.

With that simple change, antitrust will become a real tool for restoring and protecting dissident speech in America.

Walls Closing in on Joe Biden? Hunter Biden Grand Jury Wants the Identity of 'Big Guy' in Chinese Deal | Western Journal

The investigation into Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop seems to be swirling ever closer to the president himself as a grand jury begins seeking to identify “the big guy” mentioned in Hunter’s emails.

The “big guy” claim was made in an email written by Hunter Biden business partner James Gilliar, who had outlined a proposition of payment of equity in a company created for a joint venture with CEFC China Energy Co. The email asked:

“10 [percent] held for the big guy?”

Now, as a grand jury is looking into Hunter Biden, a witness was asked to identify just who “the big guy” is, according to the New York Post.

Biden business partner Tony Bobulinski, who was brought in to structure the deal, publicly identified “the big guy” as Joe Biden when the emails came to light in the run up to the 2020 election.

In July of last year, professor Jonathan Turley bemoaned “the concerted and often embarrassing blackout in the media on stories involving Hunter Biden’s influence peddling during his father’s tenure as Vice President.”

“That includes the burying of the laptop story and the growing contradictions over his father’s denial of any knowledge or involvement in his shady business dealings,” Turley added.

Jesse Watters: Hunter Biden Is on the Verge of Being Indicted and the Grand Jury’s Questions Lead Right to the Oval Office

“Not only are sources telling Prime Time that the first son, Hunter Biden, is on the verge of being indicted, but it looks like the U.S. Attorney in Delaware could be looking at Joe Biden himself,” Watters said on his show yesterday.

Hunter Biden’s business partners were instructed not to mention Joe by name. Hunter’s parter confirmed it when he texted another business partner Tony Bobulinski:

“Don’t mention Joe being involved, it’s only when you are face to face, I know u know that but they are paranoid.”

“So instead Joe went by ‘the Big Guy’ to try to cover up his whole role in all of this,” Watters continued. “But the grand jury is asking questions that lead right to the Oval Office. The media’s whole containment operation can’t contain a grand jury.”

Joe Biden’s Released Tax Returns Don’t Explain Millions in Income. Where Did It Come From? | The Federalist

Given the legacy media’s recent validation of Hunter’s laptop that discussed a slice of equity planned for the “Big Guy” in a deal that involved an entity controlled by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), we should know if any money from it (or other foreign sources) ended up in Joe Biden’s pocket, but we don’t.

Recall that despite then-presidential candidate Biden having bragged that he had released his tax returns with what his team called “a historic level of transparency,” the truth is that he only released his individual returns. Those returns provided no detail regarding the source of most of his income, dollars that flowed to him and his wife Jill by way of S-corporations they set up shortly after his departure from the office of vice president. Those entities, CelticCapri Corp (his) and Giacoppa Corp (hers), contained more than $13 million of the $17 million the couple had reported in income after Biden left office, most of it in the first year (2017).

The same media that ignored Hunter’s laptop has shown a complete incuriosity about these entities, accepting the premise that Joe and Jill raked in $13 million from their book deal to generate their huge increase in income. We simply don’t know if that’s true, though. What we do know is that their book sales were dismal.  

As it stands, we’re left to trust USA Today that Jill grossed $3 million (royalties plus about $700,000 from speaking fees) for a book that sold only 7,000 copies in its first week, and that from that book deal she netted more than $1 million (after expenses) in the two years prior to its release, but only $175,319 in the year it was published (2019). It’s possible an advance was paid, but could a publisher have justified that amount?

We are told that Joe netted $12.2 million (after expenses) in the same deal for a book that sold 300,000 copies. Excluding the $4.2 million earned from touring and speaking, that yields $8 million of income that we are to assume came from book royalties (higher if we know his gross revenues before expenses).

For analysis purposes, consider that his book had a retail price of $27 for hardcover and $18 for paperback, and assume a reasonable mix of sales so the average price was $23 (with no discounting). On 300,000 books sold, gross revenues would’ve been just under $7 million. As an author, Joe would’ve likely received about 12 percent of that using a blended royalty rate (15 percent hardcover and 7.5 percent paperback typical from publishers), yielding about $800,000 income. Round it up to $1 million if you prefer. Double it. It’s still not close to $8 million.

Sure, he likely got an advance, but would a publisher have advanced that kind of money to an author whose prior work, “Promises to Keep,” sold only 49,000 copies?

So many questions.

Tucker Carlson: Democrats Have Decided to Replace Joe Biden

“Joe Biden is now the most unpopular person in virtually any room he enters,” Tucker began his monologue last night.

Tucker then goes on to show Biden “shunned” in his own house, wondering around looking lost and vacant, as a lickspittle crowd forms around King Obama.

“And then it got worse, it got much more poignant than that,” Tucker continues as he rolls another video of Biden desperately trying to join the sycophants swirling around Obama. “Biden even puts his hand on Obama’s shoulder and calls him Barak, like they’re friends,” Tucker says. “But Obama blows him off. He acts like Biden’s not even there.”

“Now it’s true that Barak Obama has never liked Joe Biden,” Tucker points out. “For the 8 years they worked together, Obama mocked him relentlessly… But even someone as arrogant as Barak Obama can pretend if he has to... And that’s the point of the video. Obama no longer has to pretend. He can tell the world in the clearest possible terms that he has no respect for Joe Biden because at this point nobody has respect for Joe Biden. Even Biden’s most faithful supporters in the press corps have turned on him...”

“The Democratic Party and its media wing have decided to jettison Joe Biden,” Tucker concludes. “Biden can’t lead. Therefore at some point soon, he won’t be allowed to lead. It’s that simple. And if you doubt it, watch Biden talk some time.”

Biden’s Presidency Is Over | American Thinker

Barack Obama was at the White House yesterday, making it clear, as did others at the reception held in Obama’s honor, that Biden’s presidency is over. Watching Obama suck the oxygen out of the room made me wonder if Obama is planning a comeback, something he can easily do.

The ostensible reason for Obama’s return to the White House was to celebrate Obamacare’s twelfth anniversary (if you can celebrate our modern, cowardly, corporate-run “medical care,” along with overpriced insurance that does little for people with serious health issues). The reception in Obama’s honor, though, hinted that the event’s real purpose was to signal to Democrat apparatchiks that Biden is now shark chum.

The chumming process began when Obama referred to Biden as the “Vice President,” adding, after a long pause, “that was a joke.”

Well, I guess it was a joke, in the same way a mean husband is joking when he says to his wife, “That dress makes you look like a cute circus elephant,” and then tries to avoid her wrath by insisting, “That was a joke. I meant you look cute.” No, it wasn’t a joke. Biden, showing the deference of the Beta male to the Alpha male (or the abused wife to her abuser), later introduced himself as Obama’s Vice President and “Jill Biden’s husband.”

Not only was Obama the magnetic force in the room, but he also made it clear to all that they should shun Biden.

Watching Biden paw at Obama’s shoulder, only to have Obama aggressively ignore him is uncomfortable viewing. Even if Obama has no respect for the man (and who would, given Biden’s stupidity, incompetence, and corruption?), Obama, of all people, should show respect for the office.

But for Obama, the point of the presidency was never about the office itself; it was always about the fact that Obama bestowed glory on the office. No wonder, then, that his speech, as always, was peppered with his favorite pronouns. No “he/him” for Obama; it’s always “I/me.”

Meanwhile, an animated Kamala Harris also assiduously ignored her boss. For her, Obama was the only man in the room.

There are three takeaways:

1. Barack Obama, whether in his walled D.C. Kalorama home or in his coastal properties in Martha’s Vineyard or Hawaii, is probably the one running the White House show.

2. Obama has signaled that Biden’s presidency is over, making Biden toxic. That’s the message Tucker Carlson drew, something he illustrated with clips showing Democrat media talking heads finally addressing Biden’s economic failures.

3. Kamala Harris still thinks she has a shot at the presidency when (not if) Biden is removed. She was auditioning hard for the job, trying to show Obama that she’ll do better than Biden at preserving and expanding the hard-left Obama legacy. However, Obama, who is an extremely smart politician, despite his ignorance and broken, Marxist moral compass, knows that Kamala is as bad as, or even worse than, Biden.

And that fact left me with an admittedly wild theory about how Obama may intend to fix things: Obama’s aiming to get back into the Oval Office.

The 22nd Amendment does not bar Obama from regaining the presidency. It only stops him from being “elected to the office.”

How could something like that happen? The ruling Democrats find a way to boot Kamala Harris and then make the argument that with everything going on, the country needs a seasoned Vice President. Obama steps up for the job. And then invokes the 25th on Joe Biden. Bingo: He’s President without an election just like Gerald Ford.

And yes, I agree this sounds crazy, but events since 2020 show that we really are nothing more than a fancy banana republic.

Arizona AG Investigation ‘Uncovers Instances of Election Fraud by Individuals Who Will Be Prosecuted for Election Crimes'

Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich released an “initial review” of Maricopa County’s 2020 election, summarizing the preliminary findings from his “ongoing” investigation in a letter to Senate President Karen Fann today.

Brnovich writes that his team has “uncovered instances of election fraud by individuals who have been or will be prosecuted for various election crimes.” However, due to disclosure limitations related to active “criminal and civil investigations,” the letter’s subsequent content is subdued, rehashing well-known issues with a better-luck-next-time tone. More hopium or real hope for accountability?

The following are excerpts from the AG’s Interim Report:

“Six months ago the Arizona Attorney General's Office (the "Office") received reports sent from the Arizona State Senate concerning its Maricopa County Forensic Election Audit. In addition, the Attorney General's Election Integrity Unit (EIU) has received and is reviewing additional complaints alleging election failures and potential misconduct that occurred in 2020.

Our team of EIU investigators and attorneys has now collectively spent thousands of hours reviewing the Senate's audit reports and other complaints, conducting interviews, and analyzing Maricopa County's election system and processes. We have reached the conclusion that the 2020 election in Maricopa County revealed serious vulnerabilities that must be addressed and raises questions about the 2020 election in Arizona…

The EIU's review has uncovered instances of election fraud by individuals who have been or will be prosecuted for various election crimes. The EIU's review is ongoing and we are therefore limited in what we can disclose about specific criminal and civil investigations. Thus, this interim report will focus on what our office can presently share and the current status of our review.

We can report that there are problematic system-wide issues that relate to early ballot handling and verification. The early ballot signature verification system in Maricopa County is insufficient to guard against abuse. At times election workers conducting the verification process had only seconds to review a signature. For example, on November 4, 2020, the Maricopa County Recorder verified 206,648 early ballot affidavit signatures, which resulted in an average of 4.6 seconds per signature. There are simply too many early ballots that must be verified in too limited a period of time, thus leaving the system vulnerable to error, fraud and oversight.

Moreover, our review has determined that in multiple instances, Maricopa County failed to follow critical procedures when transporting early ballots from drop locations to the election headquarters. It is estimated that between 100,000 and 200,000 ballots were transported without a proper chain of custody.

The first half of this report discusses document production issues we have confronted with Maricopa County and the EIU's ongoing review of the Senate's audit reports and other complaints. The rest of this report then sets forth our election integrity concerns and recommendations…”

The report then goes on to identify publicly known issues “in the areas of early-ballot signature verification, ballot drop boxes, use of private grant monies by election officials, election document preservation and transparency,” and concludes by summarizing the Office’s “ongoing actions to defend election integrity in active litigation.”

Brnovich notes that “The Office's investigation is still developing in material ways. The Office has been sending repeated requests for information from Maricopa County, and new information is coming in, including as recently as yesterday... Investigations (civil and criminal) of this magnitude and complexity take many months if not years to complete.”

Maricopa County Recorder: ‘We Choose to Answer Questions’

A recent impertinent tweet by Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer points out that the county “chooses” to answer the Arizona Attorney General’s questions. Why? Because the AG has no civil subpoena power. The Office is limited to FOIA requests. In Brnovich’s interim report released today, he explains:

“To address the deficiencies and delays in the manner in which Maricopa County has chosen to cooperate with the EIU, we recommend that the laws be changed... Notably, if Senate Bill 1475 had passed, it would have provided the Attorney General civil subpoena power, mirroring the AGO's civil powers under Arizona's Open Meeting Laws. See A.R.S. $ 38 431.06. Absent such civil subpoena power, the AGO remains limited to submitting public records requests.“

Richer also claims there is “no criminal investigation.” Brnovich’s report says otherwise. 🤔

Arizona Senator Townsend Asks AG Brnovich Who Will Be Held Accountable for ‘Election Crimes’?

In a press release yesterday, Arizona Senator Kelly Townsend responds to Attorney General Brnovich’s interim report on the 2020 election and asks whether Secretary of State Katie Hobbs and other malfeasant election officials will be held accountable:

“General Brnovich begins his letter by announcing that they have reached the conclusion that the 2020 election in Maricopa County revealed serious vulnerabilities that call into question the election. They continue by stating that they have ‘many instances of election fraud by individuals who have been or will be prosecuted for various election crimes.’ … A statement later in Section II… states that the Secretary of State did not follow the law regarding A.R.S. 16-452 by not promulgating uniform procedures regarding signature verification. I have to ask what might be done regarding elections officials, contractors, employees, and volunteers who break Arizona statutes. Will they be held accountable for their actions or inaction?

Townsend goes on to ask what the remedy is for a fraudulent election, pointing out that chain of custody issues, alone, confirm the election results cannot be trusted:

“Of great concern is the section regarding signature verification, drop box chain of custody forms, and access of election observers to the process. Our efforts to correct these issues were stopped by legislators who were not willing to address the problems we found… What remedy exists to correct the fallout from a poorly executed election?

The drop box chain of custody issue, alone, is cause to question the outcome of the 2020 General Election. With the Presidential election having a margin of just over 10,000 votes, yet the estimated number of ballots transported without a proper chain of custody being between 100,000 to 200,000, there is no certainty for the public to have faith in the outcome.”

Townsend also “submitted an opinion request to the Attorney General regarding the statute that was broken by Secretary of State Katie Hobbs.” A excerpt from a screenshot of the email reads:

“In your report you mention that… Secretary of State Katie Hobbs… failed to promulgate uniform rules according to A.R.S. 16-452..

Please answer as to whether or not Secretary of State Katie Hobbs is subject to prosecution under the statute, and under whose jurisdiction this nonfeasance falls.”

Arizona AG: ‘There’s No Remedy After the Fact’

Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich joined War Room today to discuss the preliminary results of his investigation into the 2020 election. “At this point, the chickens have already gone out of the coop and so there’s really no remedy after the fact,” he said.

Brnovich calls for greater penalties for election crimes and more whistleblower protections, and emphasized, “It is important for us to do things on the front end, to be prophylactic in nature... The left and the Democrats have been perfecting this for two decades. So Republicans, we’re a little asleep at the switch.”

Responding to a question from Bannon about whether there is any activity on a grand jury level, Brnovich dodged, explaining that he’s prosecuting low totem pole offenders who, for example, voted for a single dead person. He also said he has ongoing cases involving ballot harvesting in Southern Arizona.

Georgia Governor Kemp and Lt. Governor Duncan Block Key Election Integrity Bill to Unseal Ballots

VoterGA’s Herculean effort to pass election integrity legislation that would allow public inspection of the physical ballots was undermined in the final minutes before Assembly adjournment (“Sine Die”) by Georgia’s compromised executive branch. VoterGA co-founder Garland Favorito released the following statement describing the sabotage:

ATLANTA, April 7, 2022 – A key integrity provision to unseal Georgia election ballots was blocked at the last minute on Sine Die by Gov. Brian Kemp and Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan. Duncan prevented the Senate from confirming House changes to SB89 which included language to unseal Georgia election ballots and improve ballot chain of custody procedures. SB89 language would have allowed counterfeit ballots to be detected and electronic votes to be verified. Those provisions are essential to deter fraud in upcoming elections.

Legislators made ballot images public records in 2021 but a year-long, statewide VoterGA analysis found it impossible to use them to verify the 2020 election results. VoterGA produced a 15-point analysis that revealed electronic tampering in over 500,000 ballot images prior to certification. Another VoterGA study determined well over a million ballots across 70 counties were lost or destroyed despite federal and state retention law. Experts previously concluded in court that all of the nearly 5 million images stored have inadequate resolution to authenticate the corresponding ballots. Counterfeit ballots were discovered in the November 2020 Fulton County hand count audit by four senior poll managers and two audit monitors.

SB89 had the support of Republican House and Senate majorities including the Speaker of the House and Senate President Pro Tempore, Butch Miller, who carried the bill. There is no rational opposition against making ballots public since election officials retain custody of them during copying or inspections and can impose a reasonable charge for time expended under Open Records Request law. The language to unseal originated from a bi-partisan HB933 bill and was just a one-minute vote away from passage into law when Duncan blocked it.

Despite the overwhelming evidence and support for SB89, Duncan used dubious measures to prevent the legislature from taking corrective action on behalf of all Georgia voters. Duncan’s maneuvering included his challenged out of order ruling on the motion to vote, his repeated refusal to recognize the Senate President Pro Tempore who has recognition priority, and his calling of a last hour 10-minute break that went on for nearly 37 minutes.

VoterGA co-founder Garland Favorito provided details indicating Duncan’s subversive actions were taken at the request of Gov. Brian Kemp: “Our volunteers were in touch with a variety of Brian Kemp’s policy people throughout the day on Sine Die. We emphasized how important SB89 is to the voters and the Governor’s re-election. We noted that it is a win-win situation for everyone. We explained he only needed to call his good friend Geoff Duncan to ensure that SB89 got a vote. It is now clear that Kemp asked Duncan to block this key election integrity bill that would have been passed unanimously by Georgia’s Republican Senators.”

Georgia Judge Grants David Perdue’s Request to Preserve 2020 Ballots

Georgia Superior Court Judge Robert C.I. Mcburney has granted Georgia gubernatorial candidate David Perdue’s request to preserve all records from the November 2020 election in Fulton County, negating the fast-approaching 22-month limit for preserving election materials. Judge Mcburney writes:

“Given the scheduling uncertainties occasioned by these complicated pandemic times and the unquestionable significance of the subject matter of Petitioners’ contentions, the Court finds it appropriate to include an additional layer of security by ordering that the records and information described by O.C.G.A. § 21-2-500(a) are maintained by the Clerk of Court indefinitely until further order of this Court.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the Clerk of the Superior Court of Fulton County shall, until further order of this Court, preserve all materials presently in her custody and control3 pursuant to O.C.G.A. § 21-2-500(a) regarding the 3 November 2020 General/Special Election in Fulton County.

SO ORDERED this 7th day of April 2022.”

Perdue filed a lawsuit to inspect Fulton County’s absentee ballots in December 2021. An excerpt from his petition reads: “The unlawful, erroneous, negligent, grossly negligent, willful, malicious, corrupt, deceitful, and intentional manipulation of votes by Respondents violates the principles of democracy and the foundation of the Georgia Republic and is what Georgia’s founding fathers sought to prohibit when they thoughtfully crafted the Georgia Constitution to guarantee all citizens the right to one vote and the right to seek relief from the judiciary to protect their one vote from dilution, discrimination, and debasement.”

True the Vote Charlie Kirk Interview Part 1: A Ballot Laundering ‘Cartel’

True the Vote’s Catherine Engelbrecht & Gregg Philips sat down with Charlie Kirk for an illuminating hour long interview detailing their ultra high-tech investigation into an “organized crime” ballot trafficking operation that swung the 2020 election for Joe Biden.

The drop box stuffing activity followed a consistent pattern, Gregg explained. Every operation involved “a set of collectors, a collection point or stash house for all the ballots, the bundling of those ballots, and then the casting of those ballots by, what we were calling, ‘mules’ in the drop boxes.”

“And as we began put the pieces and parts together, it really did dawn on us: 'Well, this sounds like what's happening in Atlanta or in San Luis, Arizona’... This was a conspiracy. This was organized crime,” he emphasized.

Catherine describes the “fateful moment” when she turned to Gregg and asked, “How do we take down a cartel?”

“That's when we began to use the terms like stash houses, and drop points, and mules, and trafficking, and voter abuse because that's what we're looking at,” she continued.

Focusing on six states, Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Texas, True the Vote spent $2 million to buy publicly available cell phone data that can pinpoint an individual’s location to within a few inches. They then narrowed their search to targets who began visiting drop boxes and NGO offices during the early voting weeks leading up to November 3rd, activity that was contrary to their prior “pattern of life.” In Georgia, the threshold was at least two dozen trips to drop boxes and five visits to a non-profit.

Catherine described their filtering logic, they wanted parameters that were “outside the norm, so aberrant that it would just stick out like a sore thumb in terms of a dataset… We wanted to have such clear margins, such clear lines that we finally settled on groups that were going [to the drop boxes] in Georgia an average of 23 times — so distinctive. And, as Gregg points out, they also had to go to the NGOs — so they had to meet both those criteria a certain number of times for us to really drill down and study.”

Through open records requests, True the Vote acquired and drop box surveillance video (when available), which helped them confirm the trafficking activity. They also evaluated chain of custody documents to identify what a typical day looked like at a given drop box. Those records showed normal ballot drop data punctuated by “spikes” in ballot receipts. This information helped them home in on specific dates and times buried in their 4 million minutes of footage.

“This is how money laundering works,” Charlie observed. “This is not just a one-off thing, this is not some Democrat activist that really wanted Trump gone and might have had a couple friends do this. This was a machine.”

“Which state was the worst offender?,” asked Charlie. “Pennsylvania,” Gregg stated unequivocally. “The worst in every way: 1,155 people met our criteria… in Philadelphia.”

“What's even more insane,” Catherine said, “is watching the data, watching the pings come across the bridge in New Jersey and into Philly.” The traffickers actually crossed state lines to participate in the fraud. And it wasn’t just in Philadelphia. Two mules in Arizona made their way to Georgia for the runoffs. And a bartender in South Carolina came in to “help out” in Atlanta, Gregg added.

Even more disturbing, the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSA) knew about the systematic ballot stuffing and did nothing. “We learned that there were off-duty law enforcement officers, paid for by the Republican Party, that reported all of this. And [the NRSA] just covered it up,” Gregg said.

True the Vote Charlie Kirk Interview Part 2: Who’s Running the Cartel?

“This was a machine… this is institutional evil.”

- Charlie Kirk

The ballot trafficking fraud begins with dirty voter rolls, Catherine explained. The cartel is feeding off of inflated voter lists, packed with invalid registrations.

For example, in Georgia, the illegal Stacey Abrams-Mark Elias “consent decree pushed Raffensperger to send ballots to both active and inactive voters. The rolls hadn't been cleaned in two years. We now know that ineligible voter records contributed to 75,000 of the votes in the General and 45,000 votes in the run-off” in Georgia, Catherine said.

“The way that the ballots were collected becomes this multi-tentacled hydra... There's all manner of ways that those ballots came in but the important take away is that dirty voter rolls allow for a big portion of this grift,” she underscored.

“Who's running this?,” Charlie asked.

“Our current hypothesis,” Gregg said, “is that there are new money folks, like the Stacey Abrams of the world, who all of a sudden show up in Maricopa Country after the election, arm in arm with the SEIU and others, [where they thank] her for delivering the state… The second piece of this is there are old money ties… to some foundations that started in Chicago back some 80 years ago, in the 1960s.”

“So you're saying that there's a foundation, a 501(c)(3), that was potentially funding some of this activity?,” Charlie asked.

“Yes. Many,” Catherine and Gregg responded.

Is there a typical mule profile?, Charlie wondered.

Every county is different, Gregg replied. “We had some incidents at this place in Atlanta called the Bluff, one of the heaviest heroin trafficking places in the U.S., very dangerous, one of the top five most dangerous places in the U.S. We interviewed some people down there… That same night, we also went to 201 Washington Street, which is an advocacy center attached to a church… in downtown Atlanta.”

But “in Arizona, the profile looked a little different,” Catherine noted. “It’s been happening in Arizona for an awfully long time. What we see there are people who really control communities. And you have people at the top of the pyramid coming in and doing everything from building underprivileged housing to controlling the full vertical of the contractors, and the banks, and the financing organizations, and all of those people are participating in rounding up ballots.”

As the ‘2,000 Mules’ movie will soon show, “we have informants who have come forward to describe exactly what happens,” Catherine said.

“And these collectors and these mules are making between $10 and $40 a ballot here in Arizona, according to the testimony we have,” Gregg added.

In Yuma County, Arizona the cartel’s days may be numbered. “There were two ballot harvesting arrests in Yuma. I'm hearing from the grapevine that there might be more happening there,” Charlie said.

“We think so too,” Gregg said. “We believe there will be more [arrests in Yuma]. One of the interesting things about Yuma County, and San Luis in particular, is some of that old money that we talked about earlier… flows into some of these poor border communities.” There, it’s “less about electing a president with these harvesting techniques and more about electing themselves so they can stay in control over all the billions that are flowing in,” Gregg explained.

“We think that here in Arizona your AG and others are tuned in enough to what's going on down there that you're going to see some action,” he added.

True the Vote Charlie Kirk Interview Part 3: How to Take Down the Cartel

“If elections are not truly fair, we're not truly free.”

- Catherine Engelbrecht

What can we do to defeat the ballot laundering cartel? The solution has “four pillars,” Gregg explained. We must:

1. Clean the voter rolls. True the Vote has set up a website, www.iv3.us, that helps citizens review their voter rolls and challenge inaccurate records;

2. Stop mass mail-in voting and abolish the drop boxes;

3. Eliminate private funding of elections;

4. Impose punishments that fit the crimes. “Put some people in jail,” Gregg said. “If you put somebody in jail for 10 years for this, you'll stop it.”

We may soon start to see Zuckerbucks audits that lead to arrests, according to Gregg. “You're going to start seeing more and more of what's happening in Jackson, Mississippi,” he said. “There's a state auditor in Jackson, his name is Chad White. And he went out and audited some of these officials who were doling out this Zuckerberg money, and there's been four arrests already in Jackson for stealing the money. I think you're going to see state auditors, and others all over the country, now start to say, ‘Where did all of this money go?’”

“Zuckerberg money was a huge catalyst,”he continued. “You take dirty voter rolls, you mail everyone an application whether they ask for it or not, whether they're even legitimately on the rolls or not, and then you provide a means to stuff them in there.”

But “don’t feel helpless,” Catherine encouraged. “We are not victims because victims don't have a choice. We have a choice, this is happening on our watch. So we can choose to remain complicit and to watch this and watch the [2,000 Mules] movie and go pop a bag of popcorn and sit back and say, ‘Wow this is just horrible,’ and the band plays on. Or we can say, ‘Not on our watch,’ and get involved.”

“We are an exceptional nation that can pull this together and pull it together quickly. We just have to make it a priority... We've taken voting for granted, we've taken the process for granted, and that has to come to an end... Now is the time to wake up and demand standards locally, and then it will all roll uphill,” she concluded.

Catherine and Gregg plan to release their entire two petabyte data arsenal after the 2,000 Mules premier, which is now scheduled for the first week of May. They’ve also recently located video footage from the 14 cameras inside the Gwinnett County, Georgia counting facilities. “Our intention after the video runs, we're going to pull the ripcord, we're going to release all of this.”

Founded in 2009, True the Vote has battled IRS attacks under Obama, lawsuits from Mark Elias and Stacey Abrams, and most recently sabotage from Governor Kemp.

“[Kemp] led a fight alright - against us,” Catherine said. “I personally briefed Kemp's team,” added Gregg. “They not only refused [to investigate]… they sent one of their henchmen, the guy that runs the GBI, down to the FBI office where our data lived — not to see the data, but to get into the metadata and figure out who the analysts were and then burn me and a couple of my analysts,” Gregg explained. “Releasing it all to the press... They did everything they could to stop us,” Catherine said.

Despite the setbacks and attacks, True the Vote has never given up and has now amassed, arguably, the most comprehensive and incontrovertible evidence to date of a criminal conspiracy to subvert the 2020 election. Please consider supporting these warriors and American heroes at TruetheVote.org.
