december the 17th and uh
00:03
of 2020 you know everybody at this point
00:05
i think most people have stopped
00:07
following any election news because it’s
00:08
just too much they’re
00:10
following the minutia of it and there’s
00:11
so much misinformation and
00:13
disinformation out there
00:14
frankly it’s too much for anybody so i’m
00:17
glad you’re
00:18
still paying attention um i believe that
00:21
you have in from
00:22
information that the vast majority of of
00:24
north americans just don’t have
00:26
and if there’s any kind of update on
00:28
that it’d be terrific
00:30
yeah there’s a there’s a lot going on
00:32
and this this is all
00:34
uh and it’s something i’ve mentioned
00:35
previously and promised updates on so
00:38
this is this is intended to be the kind
00:40
of overarching update so
00:42
all of this broke in italy and
00:46
it turned and it’s all linked back to
00:48
the u.s
00:49
presidential election and the the thing
00:51
that’s been banned
00:52
about here is you know i think everybody
00:55
looks at it and you kind of analyze the
00:57
numbers and you know it’s not
00:58
right but that doesn’t prove
01:02
anything was done i mean you know that
01:04
the answer you’re getting is
01:06
is not correct but you have to be able
01:08
to prove it so
01:09
um i think we’re finally tracking you
01:11
know kind of tracking this down
01:14
as to where the actual problems took
01:15
place and as i said all of this
01:17
broke in italy and in italy
01:20
this is a huge scandal this is this is
01:23
running the news
01:24
uh cycle right now in italy and it looks
01:26
like prime minister kante is going to
01:28
lose a vote of no confidence
01:30
italy’s going to have to form a new
01:31
government all this stuff
01:33
so now and also remember what probably
01:36
about a year ago
01:37
uh now maybe a little less maybe eight
01:40
months or so nine months
01:42
president trump got word of something
01:44
that italy was involved with in all of
01:47
this
01:47
scandalous russian fiasco investigating
01:50
president trump
01:52
so they were deeply involved in that
01:54
president trump found out something
01:56
calls italy and you know
01:59
you know we don’t know what was said in
02:00
the conversation but you can be
02:02
guaranteed it was something to the
02:03
effect of
02:04
whiskey tango foxtrot i mean what’s
02:06
going on over there what were these guys
02:08
doing and the next day four senior
02:10
intelligence officials in italy were all
02:12
cashier they were all fired
02:14
the very next day after that phone call
02:16
so we know there’s long
02:18
linkage of the italians being involved
02:20
so what comes out now
02:22
is that there’s this this uh company
02:25
called
02:26
um fernando right no
02:29
leonardo leonardo there’s a company
02:31
called leonardo like
02:33
uh and that company is a huge
02:37
company like saic or lockheed martin or
02:39
somebody like that that does government
02:41
uh contracting you know the industrial
02:45
complex sort of stuff but billion dollar
02:47
contracts with huge things
02:49
including uh government
02:52
satellites and that’s important because
02:55
this is something i touched on lightly
02:58
but
02:59
the way that it’s shaping up now that
03:01
the the us elections were changed the
03:04
results were changed in those
03:06
five or six key states is that all of
03:09
those voting machines were hooked up to
03:10
the internet
03:12
the internet then was used to download
03:15
that information to these famous servers
03:17
in germany
03:19
but nobody you know just passing through
03:20
a server uh doesn’t leave
03:23
deep track so supposedly the government
03:25
went over the the dod went over looked
03:27
at those servers
03:28
a lot of bs rumors about gina haspel
03:30
getting in shootouts and all that
03:32
all that’s nonsense none of that
03:34
happened were the servers looked at yeah
03:36
i think those servers were looked at but
03:38
no raid
03:39
so that information passing through a
03:42
server
03:43
uh you know it doesn’t leave tracks so
03:45
there’s not a lot there to see you might
03:47
see a blip of activity
03:49
but that’s it but from there those were
03:52
uploaded
03:53
and sent to rome and this is where this
03:56
took place now
03:58
what’s being said out of rome out of
04:01
italy
04:01
is that this was done in the u.s embassy
04:05
that there was a certain state
04:06
department guy whose name
04:09
i don’t know uh yet i guess this is
04:12
probably going to come out in italy at
04:13
some point
04:14
and he was the mastermind not the
04:16
mastermind but the um
04:18
but anyway the guy running the operation
04:21
of changing the votes
04:23
and that he was doing this in
04:25
conjunction with some support from mi6
04:28
the cia and this leonardo group
04:32
and leonardo this this huge contracting
04:35
company so
04:37
all of that was centered in
04:41
room and so the the voting machines
04:44
upload through germany through those
04:46
servers back
04:47
up to um rome so these guys are the ones
04:51
seeing they’re looking at all the raw
04:52
data
04:54
they’re the ones that said shut down all
04:56
those five states or six states
04:58
at the exact same time and the problem
05:01
was
05:02
that the algorithms were overloaded that
05:04
what they had planned on
05:06
didn’t work because trump got so many
05:10
votes
05:11
and he got record number of votes i mean
05:12
among blacks and hispanics and just
05:15
everybody voted for trump and so that
05:17
skewed
05:18
all of the algorithms so what they had
05:20
planned just didn’t work
05:21
that’s why everything had to be shut
05:23
down so they upload all of this stuff it
05:25
gives them time to
05:26
analyze all of this and and create
05:30
new analogs that then would
05:34
allow the vote to come out in favor of
05:36
biden and
05:38
that then once they created all the new
05:40
data
05:41
and manipulated all the data that was
05:43
there
05:44
they sent these new numbers back up
05:48
through this military satellite italian
05:50
military satellite
05:52
run and operated by none other than
05:54
leonardo
05:55
and this was an encrypted satellite that
05:58
then went back
05:59
down through those servers and back down
06:01
to all the machines
06:02
uh here in the united states in those
06:04
five or six states that
06:06
blast of information is what everybody
06:09
sees
06:10
on those number charts where it shows
06:12
all the votes and it shows the red line
06:13
the blue line going up like this and
06:15
trump’s ahead trump’s ahead
06:16
and then all of a sudden boom and up
06:18
above goes all those votes for
06:21
biden that blip is that data being
06:24
retransmitted back down through this
06:26
military satellite
06:28
back down into these machines that were
06:29
all hooked up to the internet
06:31
and we’ve seen a lot of stuff on the
06:32
news saying these these machines weren’t
06:34
kept
06:35
offline they were online and people want
06:38
this investigated
06:39
so this is how that whole deal was put
06:41
together now
06:42
as i said it’s interesting the body of
06:44
the of this reporting is coming from
06:46
italy
06:46
but there’s also pieces that are now
06:48
coming out of of england uk
06:51
and different people being involved in
06:53
mi6 being involved
06:55
there’s now rumblings there that are
06:57
starting to have
06:58
that you know it’s making i would say
07:00
the government be a little weak need
07:02
because they’re seeing they are starting
07:04
to be implicated
07:05
the other piece of the puzzle actually
07:07
came out of canada so
07:09
we’re taking all these things and kind
07:10
of putting them together and looking at
07:12
it
07:12
and there were two reports out of canada
07:15
that laura lynn
07:16
did that i think you can attach those
07:19
photographs here for everyone to see
07:21
and the photographs i took a close look
07:23
at those those were two individuals
07:26
in these photographs one of them was
07:29
from the parking lot of the u.s
07:30
embassy in rome which there’s a lot of
07:32
photographs and i was looking at the
07:34
photographs of just the embassy just
07:36
generic
07:37
stuff that you can find online and that
07:39
indeed
07:40
does appear to be the parking lot of the
07:42
u.s embassy it’s taken from a vantage
07:44
point
07:45
up high looking down at one of these two
07:47
individuals
07:48
uh the rest of the photographs are of
07:50
these two individuals
07:52
leaving rome at the airport i forget the
07:55
date but it was it was
07:56
in early december so quite a little bit
07:58
after the election was all over
08:00
and these two individuals in that report
08:03
are supposed to be
08:04
the mi6 operatives the techs
08:07
that were helping to manipulate the data
08:10
build the algorithms and do the
08:12
data manipulation in rome and that’s
08:15
what they were doing in rome
08:16
these photographs are from the italian
08:20
uh you know it doesn’t say what service
08:21
or anything but they’re they were taken
08:23
by the italian government
08:24
apparently surveilling these guys
08:27
because they knew they were up to
08:28
something
08:29
and when you go in and out of countries
08:31
like italy and if it’s
08:32
the brits or the americans or any of
08:34
that and their intelligence guys
08:36
they’re supposed to report you know and
08:38
and and be make the
08:40
host country aware of whatever they’re
08:42
doing so apparently these guys did not
08:44
do any of that
08:45
other than what they were kind of
08:46
secretly doing with leonardo
08:49
this leonardo company and the us embassy
08:52
for these things so
08:54
uh that looks like those two guys were
08:56
the with the texts and there
08:58
there’s reports of maybe a third but the
09:00
photographs are only of these two
09:02
that were involved in that data
09:03
manipulation so these two
09:05
individuals are key to it now one of the
09:08
things this information has been
09:09
rumbling around for a while here now at
09:11
least the last two weeks here in the
09:12
united states
09:13
gotten zero press coverage by anybody
09:16
and isn’t being looked at by the
09:17
administration which
09:19
here’s the you know i look at this and
09:20
i’m going you know president trump dude
09:23
go dig this stuff out because this is
09:26
the one thing that fits all of the
09:28
criteria occam’s razor
09:29
is the only explanation that fits all
09:32
the data points
09:33
this makes sense nothing else out there
09:36
is going to take you to
09:37
to be able to prove that that the
09:39
elections were a sham
09:41
this could i mean all this has to be
09:43
proven
09:44
but you know the pieces are there and
09:46
you can reach out to the italian
09:47
government
09:48
kante’s on very thin ice and it’s
09:50
probably gonna be booted out of office
09:52
so i mean it’s the perfect time to hit
09:53
him up
09:54
uh the brits i don’t know and and by the
09:56
way and president trump has had a decent
09:58
relationship with
09:59
with the government there getting those
10:01
four guys fired and stuff that we’re in
10:02
the intelligence business
10:04
so these photographs i think are
10:06
extraordinarily important and i would
10:07
have to say
10:09
i don’t know if this is going to get out
10:11
i don’t know if this is far as it goes
10:12
because
10:13
as i said there seems to be deep
10:14
resistance by everybody
10:16
to actually try to ferret through the
10:19
facts and all the countries that are
10:20
coming out and look at this thing
10:22
and kind of reach some sort of theory as
10:24
to what’s going on
10:25
i don’t understand that hesitation this
10:27
should be number one on everybody’s list
10:29
you know it
10:30
it’s a sad thing where you know
10:33
one solitary former cia guy does more
10:36
journalism and more research
10:38
than the entire rest of the news media
10:40
put together what a sad state of
10:42
freaking affairs that is
10:43
but that seems to be where we’re at and
10:46
those photographs of those guys if they
10:48
can get put out there and identify
10:50
those guys because as right now we don’t
10:52
have names only mi6
10:54
in rome cooperating with the cia and the
10:56
embassy
10:57
to do these number changes that’s the
10:59
information that’s available
11:00
well go identify those guys if that’s
11:02
who they really are
11:03
to those two guys i have a message for
11:05
you guys
11:07
you’re walking dead they’re gonna kill
11:09
you so
11:10
if if that’s really what you did and
11:12
really who you are
11:13
you need to get out and come to i don’t
11:15
even know if doj would be able to save
11:17
you the department of justice here but
11:19
you need to get in the hands of
11:20
of law enforcement here in the united
11:22
states as soon as possible
11:24
because you’re a loose end now brother
11:26
and and they’re going to wipe you out
11:27
that’s the way this this game is working
11:29
these days
11:30
so i i send a warning to those guys to
11:33
get to get this
11:34
to get out of the middle of this thing
11:36
because your photographs are out there
11:37
like i said
11:38
don’t know if this is going to be
11:40
something that’s going to be picked up
11:41
by anybody else in the media
11:43
uh and and i can’t even begin to express
11:46
my distress over that fact but that’s
11:48
where we find ourselves today so
11:50
that’s the update the overall situation
11:52
that’s the way it’s headed
11:53
and we’ll see if this gets picked up and
11:55
worked on by the administration but
11:57
this is where trump needs to start uh
11:59
putting some money and effort in there
12:01
and getting some people working on this
12:02
stuff well i guess
12:05
all like that’s an extraordinary amount
12:07
of of information it’s extraordinary
12:09
potent
12:10
information and all i could say
12:14
in response to any of that is if you
12:17
look at what say
12:18
the mafia does or any other kind of very
12:22
powerful group
12:23
might do in response to a threat to
12:25
power or
12:26
in an attempt to seize power and you
12:28
look at the amount of
12:30
money authority power
12:33
not just the united states has but its
12:35
power to limit
12:36
other people’s power other nations power
12:39
it is
12:40
no surprise in fact it would be a
12:42
surprise if these measures
12:44
weren’t being done so the effort
12:47
being expended to subvert this election
12:50
is something that
12:52
given what the stakes are are i would
12:55
expect
12:55
nothing less than what we’re seeing take
12:58
place the trick is can we stop it
