On 08/16/22 Mike Lindell and Bannon Howse began the Lindell Report with a discussion of the program schedule for 'The Moment of Truth Summit' this weekend on his show The Lindell Report...
After discussing the schedule (about halfway through), Howse pulls out a printout of Chapter 8 of the Bev Harris book, Black Box Voting: Ballot Tampering In The 21st Century / 2003.
(Link below to an earlier comment with more detail about the book in general, links to Bev Harris videos about the history of voting machine companies, and link to free pdf /by chapter / of the book, Black Box Voting.)
Below is a link to Chapter 16 and select excerpts. Bev Harris (knowingly IMO) bird dogs the moment when Regional Unorganized Election Corruption (RUEC) meets National Organized Election Corruption (NUEC).
To really appreciate what is recorded in this chapter and feel its impact, including Bev Harris' final conclusions on the origins and nascent syndication of election corruption in the United States I highly recommend reading the book. Georgia election corruption co-stars in this documentary waiting in the wings book. And if you think you know what went wrong with the 2000 election in Florida...
If you are inclined to let other people fix this problem for you, please remember
that “other people” are already hard at work to change your voting system to suit
their own agenda and profit margin. These other people may have a different view
of democracy from yours.
What are their plans? Let’s look behind the curtain at a secret meeting that took
place at 11:30 a.m. August 22, 2003. Invitations were sent out to all the makers of computer voting machines and included the following agenda:
TAA eVoting Industry Coalition DRAFT Plan, Activities, and Pricing Purpose:
Create confidence and trust in the elections industry and promote the adoption of
technology-based solutions for the elections industry.
Repair short-term damage done by negative reports and media coverage of
electronic voting.
Over the mid- to long-term, implement strategy that educates key constituencies about the benefits of public investments in electronic voting, voter registration and
related applications.
The Information Technology Association of America (ITAA) is a lobbying firm that specializes in getting special treatment for tech-nology companies.
In this proposal, the ITAA is trying to get hired to provide assistance to Diebold,
Sequoia, ES&S and other voting-machine vendors to get the public to accept their products. Not to correct the flaws in their products, mind you, and not to do any type of “customer survey” to find out what we voters actually want. The idea is for these for-profit companies to define our democratic voting system and then invest in a PR campaign to show us that we like their system.
According to the ITAA, you should never use the word “lobby” because it has
negative connotations in the mind of the public. Instead you should “educate key
constituencies.”
(Chapter 16, p 226)
The Election Systems Task Force
One participant wanted to know if the “Election Systems Task Force” (who?) would
be reconstituted or reformatted. Though I can find out nothing about this group on
the Internet, the answers to this question were illuminating.
A voice, apparently belonging to R. Doug Lewis, said that they have been “more
focused on the HAVA legislation but would be interested in meeting with this
group.” He went on to explain that the major companies involved in the Election
Systems Task Force are Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, Accenture and
EDS (defense contractors and procurement agencies).
The goal of the Election Systems Task Force, he said, was very limited, because
they just wanted to get the HAVA legislation enacted to create more business
opportunities for themselves as integrators. Their agenda for HAVA, he said, was,
“How do we get Congress to fund a move to electronic voting?
As mentioned earlier, more than one guest attended the meeting. When I heard
this astounding admission, I wanted more documentation. I will tell you this much: I
listened to it myself, and this part of the conversation sounds even worse on tape.
HAVA was pushed through to create business opportunities for defense
contractors and procurement companies. HAVA = Let’s-make-a-buck-on-a-vote.
In the segment I listened to, they mentioned that there were about
twelve members of the Election Systems Task Force.
What government agency is the Election Center connected with? None: The
Election Center is a private, nonprofit entity set up during the late 1980s. Who set
it up? Some people in Washington, D.C., whose names are not published. Who
provided its seed money? No one seems to know. Who runs the Election Center
now? A man named R. Doug Lewis, who was not elected by anyone.
What are the credentials of R. Doug Lewis? With some persistence, I located a bio
for Doug Lewis, (16) but all it said was that he was an assistant to the president in
the White House (doesn’t say which president); that he ran campaigns for various
important politicians (doesn’t name any of them); that he headed the Democratic
Party for the states of Texas and Kansas (doesn’t say what years); and that he
consulted for the petrochemical industry (doesn’t say what company). With a little
more digging, I found that he “managed affairs” for former Texas governor John
Connally.
The Election Center works with the National Association of Secretaries of State
(NASS), the National Association of State Election Directors (NASED) and the
International Association of Clerks, Recorders, Election Officials and Treasurers
(IACREOT).
When election officials want to know if these voting machines can be trusted, they
ask R. Doug Lewis. I’m sure R. Doug Lewis is a terrific guy. (The feeling
apparently isn’t mutual; he hangs up on me when I call him.) But what I do want to
know is this: What specific credentials qualify him for the critical work of
overseeing the security of voting systems in the United States? Who appointed
him? I called The Election Center to ask about certification and was told that the
only person who could answer my questions was R. Doug Lewis.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I was very opposed to electronic voting from the start, feeling certain that it would be rigged, and it is. Just as certainly, if we allow neural links and nano bots into our minds, we will be hacked as well and lose our ability to choose or learn; the end of humanity.
