This is the presentation by Martín Rodil and Gary Berntsen at the Storm Summit last week, where they demonstrated that our National Security apparatus lied about the 2020 election because it is penetrated by foreign actors and by people hostile to the Republic. (SEE FULL PRESENTATION HERE).
Martín begins by saying that when they started this investigation, they thought foreign enemies of the United States were attacking the United States. By the time they finished, they realized that it was Americans attacking the United States with the help of foreigners, which was heartbreaking.
Martín refers to President Trump’s July 16th speech and his declassification of documents that show how, between 2004-2010, the CIA had been submitting a report within the Intelligence Community, stating that they knew the Venezuelans owned a Delaware Corporation operating in the US an an election company that can change election results without being detected.
When President Obama took over in 2009, the CIA started to whitewash their own report saying, they “couldn’t prove it”. They couldn’t prove it, because the software was designed to erase all the proof.
Martín shows how his team of Venezuelan engineers were able to replicate the various programs of these voting machines at the lab they set up in Switzerland, proving how the votes were switched and how the evidence was deleted to defy detection.
They used a forensic copy of exactly what happened in the January 2021 runoff election between Senator David Perdue and Jon Ossoff obtained from the Coffee County Court in Georgia. They’d been unable to get the forensic copy of the November 2020 election, because Dominion had deleted that database, in violation of Georgia State law.
Martín walks us through a September 2020 CIA report, from three months before the election that shows the CIA had known these thefts had occurred for over 20 years but they didn’t do or say anything.
He says President Trump was aware of this problem when he got back into office and he ordered the declassification of about 2% the documents, which were released last July, with the help of former DNI Tulsi Gabbard. The rest are currently being worked on by the DOJ.
Martín reads part of a declassified document:
“The intelligence sources between 2004 and 2020 reported that the Venezuelan president, Hugo Chávez and his successor, Nicolás Maduro, demonstrated a sustained interest in manipulating electoral outcomes through electronic voting systems.
“In April 2004, intelligence reporting indicated Chávez stated his objective was to prevent the reelection of a sitting US President.”
Martín explains that in 2005, the Venezuelans, intent on executing their plan bought Sequoia Voting Systems in Denver, Colorado.
Martín continues:
“So, here are some lines from the reporting that was declassified by the President of the United States. So you can see that
it starts by saying that the 2006 assessment: The Smartmatic-Sequoia deal was a National Security Threat. That was the assessment! It was a National Security Threat to the United States.
“In 2018, Smartmatic got a contract to run the elections in Los Angeles County. So we have a company that we know is trying to overthrow the democracy of the United States, but no one – the Intel Community and the National Security apparatus, who are supposed to do that – are not alerting the President of the United States, because some presidents actually knew about this [Obama], others didn’t.”
The CIA reported in September 2020 the detailed technical plans of how virtual machines switched data in Venezuela’s National Assembly elections. Martín asks why did Venezuela decide to do a “practice run” of these virtual machines in their elections and why was the CIA aware of this?
In this document, the CIA said:
“The 2006 Intelligence Community Assessment that Smartmatic’s ties to Venezuela pose a National Security Threat was based on solid intelligence regarding Venezuelan government intent to influence US politics and evidence of Venezuelan manipulation of their own electoral system.”
In 2007, the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) ordered Smartmatic to sell Sequoia, which it did to its own managers with US citizenship.
Yet the public has been told over and over that the 2020 election was the “Most secure in American history”.
Martín reads an important passage in that report about the test thy were running in the 2020 Venezuela elections:
“September 2020 intelligence reporting on [REDACTED] plans provided the most detailed description of a specific technical approach to election manipulation.”
Martín’s team of Venezuelan engineers were able to replicate these election manipulation methods at their lab in Switzerland, based on the technical details revealed in the declassified CIA document:
• [REDACTED] Replicates digital hash files sent to the central vote counting database.
• [REDACTED] Mimic real voting machines that favor the ruling party.
• [REDACTED] Overwrite hash file of voting machine that favor the opposition, and
• [REDACTED] Make altered votes appear to originate from legitimate voting machines.
In short, virtual machines can impersonate any real voting machine and these fictitious machines are controlled from the headquarters of the voting companies.
During their 5-year investigation, they traced those involved all over the world and recruited over a dozen of their engineers.
Continuing from from the declassified CIA document:
“This technique will, in theory, allow the Venezuelan government to monitor and adjust results in real time during and after the election. The report indicated that
virtual machine technology will be employed to accomplish this manipulation while evading detection through a standard audit procedures.”
Think of all the cases that were overthrown by judges, because the plaintiffs couldn’t prove it. The program was designed to be unprovable and the CIA knew this.
Martín’s team of engineers were able to demonstrate how the system is designed to be entered through back doors to manipulate the results and to clean the digital evidence that anyone was in there and to leave no trace of what they’d accomplished, so that the flip could not be proven.
The reason why they need mail-in ballots is because these allow them to compensate their digital modifications, in case someone decides to perform an audit.
This is why mail-in ballots should only be for soldiers who are abroad and for people who are in the hospital, etc who cannot go to vote. This is why everyone else has to go to the voting booth on Election Day.
Martín directs our attention to Ronald Morales, who was born in Venezuela, who worked at the same company the CIA said stole elections in Venezuela. 𝕏Morales was in charge of moving this software to Denver, Colorado. Then, he was in charge of moving the software to Dominion and again, he was in charge of moving the software to Liberty Voting, where he is currently a Senior Manager.
Martín says, “This individual, I want you to remember this name, because at the end of the presentation, you will see what was his real role. And the Agency and the Intelligence Community knew about each of them; by name and by where they live and who they interact with – but they remained silent.”
Martín then walks us through part of the demo that was presented to President Trump’s team and to Elon Musk a month before the November election in 2024.
In order to educate the American lawyers who were fighting for election integrity and the American engineers, so that they could understand how the flip was done, Martín’s team of Venezuelan engineers took the forensic copy of Coffee County, Georgia’s digital election that had been ordered by the County Court and they put it on a server at their lab in Switzerland and replicated the attacks that were done on Election Night, in a step-by-step process.
Martín says:
“People talk about ‘hacking’. No. No one is hacking, here. It’s an
unauthorized entry, where the companies allow third parties to enter with special features built in the system…When you built the software, you created those backdoor entries so you, yourself and other people that you allow can enter and manipulate the election. And what is unacceptable is you have states in this country certifying the system, saying the system is ‘beautiful’.”
This is a diagram of how the vote theft system works:
Unauthorized Entry
Access Unpatched System
Getting Encryption Keys
Manipulate Result Files
Remove Traces of Any Connection that this ever occurred.
This is basically the diagram of how the elections have been cooked and are still being cooked. There are 3,000+ counties in the United States, so there are 3,000+ systems like this but you don’t need to steal all 3,000+ counties, you just need to select the key counties in the Swing States, of which there are no more than 20. With those 20 counties, you can flip the election in the whole country, which is yet another reason why this system is so vulnerable.
Martín shows how the encryption keys were readily available and stored in 3 places within the system, defeating the entire purpose of encryption.
Martín asks how his 15 Venezuelan engineers were able to enter the voting system, if Venezuelans have nothing to do with elections in the US? He says because it’s the very same software they had always been working with, only the name has been changed, most recently to “Liberty Vote” and that the CIA has known this but they’ve never told anyone.
Martín runs the slides, so viewers can visually understand how the process is executed and he explains:
“So the very same ballot re-scanned with the software running behind it produced a different result. If you contrast that with the actual physical ballot, you will see the inconsistency. That’s why they were saying, ‘Only audit the PDF generated by the scanner.’They don’t want you to count the physical ballot. Because if you count the physical ballot, they’ll get caught in the crime.“This is a process where we’re removing the IP addresses where we actually did what I described before. So we are now removing the evidence. And you can see the IP address was there before. And after I clean it up, you can see the IP address is no longer in place.”
He says that before Artificial Intelligence, this was done manually and it took 3.2 seconds but now, these election software companies can have an Artificial Intelligence bot execute all of these instructions. They don’t even need humans anymore, they only need one person to illegally connect to the system and to deploy some AI agents to do that work. He says there’s simply no way to run our elections with these machines that can be trusted.
He says:
“This is what we managed:
Gain access to an authorized machine using public well-known exploit.
Obtain the encryption security parameters stored in plain text from database or directly from the tabulator administrative iButton security keys.
Easily understand what algorithms are used to encryption.
Find a library that facilitates the job of encryption, the encryption and manipulation, and
Remove any trace of connections and file manipulation after achieving the unauthorized user’s objective.
In other words, they were able to steal the election in a way that no one can prove it.
So what happened in 2020?
Sheriff Dar Leaf from Michigan published a Dominion Voting Systems internal email from Tuesday, March 31st, 2020. It was from Ronald Morales, the same guy who had moved the software from Caracas to Denver and then into Dominion. He wrote:
“Hi, Nicole.
“We were able to establish a VPN connection from the new virtual machine.”
What did the CIA report say in 2020? That the Venezuelans were practicing with virtual machines.
(The email continues)
“A new virtual machine was created today. So tomorrow morning, we’re going to work toward making the necessary changes that can allow us to reach the Electoral Management System.”
The EMS is the brain of the system by county. If you have a virtual machine created by a VPN, no one can detect it.
There’s no reason to do this, other than not wanting people to know what you’re doing.
(Continuing from the email):
“EMS is the backend that builds ballots and aggregates results. Vendor remote support over VPN is a known industry practice – and a known attack surface, the same class of access the Venezuela CIA note declassified treat as a danger.”
The CIA knew this and the entire Intelligence Community relevant to this topic knew this.
Martín shows a slide of counties and states and their respective voting machine contractor companies:
Martín concludes his presentation:
“This is how contaminated the United States is today. Everything in red is Dominion. Everything in blue is ES&S. And everything in gray is Hart InterCivic. Each of those three companies has different components of the Smartmatic software. Dominion, which now is called Liberty Voting, is the worst…
“You’ve been saying for 20 years they are a National Security Threat to the United States but no one stopped them. In fact, they’re still there. They’re going to do election in November!
“They’re being prosecuted in Miami! Smartmatic has been prosecuted in Miami for corruption in the election of the Philippines!
“Why do We, the People, have to accept this reality? It’s unacceptable! It cannot be tolerated!”
Gary Berntsen then steps in to discuss the counterintelligence problem in the US, saying that the Cuban Intelligence Service has been recruiting penetrations of our government for decades and that their agents are inside the CIA, the FBI and the National Security Council.
He says that two years ago, an American ambassador by the name of Manuel Rocha was arrested for espionage, not because the FBI or the CIA did their job but because he and Martín turned him in.
Rocha was a Cuban agent inside the State Department for 40 years. As the political advisor at SOUTHCOM, he was sitting next to the commanding general, reading every report for five years. Gary says he was one of at least 50 to 100 people currently in our National Security apparatus who are reporting to hostile people.
Gary screams, “It is a disgrace that the FBI and the CIA are so lazy and stupid! I am shocked by this!”
He says that he’s a big supporter of the President and he supports his economic policies but he says the administration has not distinguished itself on choosing good people in the National Security apparatus, namely FBI Director Kash Patel and CIA Director John Ratcliffe.
He says these two have just sent messages smearing Martín and himself to every FBI office in the country, telling them not to work with them, because “They’re disrupting National Security,” referring to the information presented above.
Gary fumes:
“What you just saw is described by the FBI and the CIA right now as ‘disrupting National Security’. What you just saw! Shame on them.
Shame on them!“Mr President, you need to fix this. You need to fix this!
“There’s been a lot of talk about the Save America Act. John Thune and company won’t pass it. Shame on them.
“The President doesn’t need that. PPD 21.[Presidential Policy Directive 21]. He can outlaw the machines. He can outlaw the machines, himself.…
