US elections purportedly controlled by intelligence agencies – author

Washington's intelligence agencies are “running” the elections in United States, claims American political scientist and best-selling conservative author Dr. Jerome Corsi, who points at what he describes as the discovery of certain “algorithms” within the state board of election and voter registration databases.

According to him, Andrew Paquette, a computer graphics artist and a “real genius in terms of computer work,” found “patterns in the New York voter registration files maintained by the state, the State Board of Elections.”

“These are the actual records from which voting occurs. And he found that they had been arranged mathematically so as to hide data. And as he began to get into the system and figure out the patterns, he actually came up with the equations, the algorithms that are involved in assigning voter IDs to the voters in New York,” Dr. Corsi elaborates.

This scheme, which he suggests is designed to allow its perpetrators to “insert voters who do not exist,” is so “complicated mathematically” that it “has to be an intelligence operation,” he suggests.

“It's designed to be hidden. It would be costly to put it in place. It would require a clandestine group to get access to the State Board of Elections computers so that they can embed these codes and make the database work the way they want it to work - hiding data. And I think we're finding these algorithms in virtually every state we're looking at, and they've been there since 2007,” Dr. Corsi warns.

▪️Dr. Corsi claims that the perpetrators of this scheme aimed to “rearrange” voter data so that a voter's number isn’t tied to their registration date.

▪️A mass of non-existent voters, numbering in the hundreds of thousands – non-existing but officially registered nonetheless – allegedly exists in state registration databases.

▪️“What happens is that voter appears to be a real person... You've got a certifiable vote even though the person doesn't exist,” says Dr. Corsi. - To influence elections, perpetrators allegedly use algorithms to identify and cast mail-in ballots for these “ghost voters.”

▪️Dr. Corsi claims the mainstream media avoids reporting this because it is “controlled by the CIA.” Dr. Corsi also claims that the US mainstream media does not want to report this “because the mainstream media itself is controlled by the CIA.”

Any US election can purportedly be stolen via ‘ghost voters’

The US Democratic Party seems to be “done with elections” and the CIA “doesn't want any elections anymore,” laments Dr. Jerome Corsi, a political scientist and best-selling conservative author.

With a veritable army of “ghost” voters being hidden in voter registration databases, he claims, the people who organized this scheme could perpetrate “massive stealing of any election” they desire.

“The scheme here, the nefarious part of the scheme I'm describing is that these criminals controlling the state board of election voter rolls clandestinely can put these nonexistent voters into the data set and get away with it because these people have real legitimate numbers,” he explains.

“These non-existing people have real legitimate numbers issued by the state Board of Elections to vote. And so therefore, when they vote these mail-in ballots, the scheme is largely a mail-in ballot scheme, they vote that number, which is certifiable.”

And challenging a certifiable vote, Dr. Corsi points out, is very difficult in the US because it essentially amounts to claiming that “the certification was wrong,” which is difficult to prove.

“The courts don't want to hear these cases because it's political. Our courts consider our elections political. They don’t want to resolve a political question,” he adds. “I'm asking questions about the future,” Dr. Corsi says.

“I'm saying how many illegal votes are we going to get this coming up election? Why are these algorithms there? Who put them there? They've been there since 2007. We can tell that from the computer records. Have they been used in past elections? I don't know. But I'm questioning.”

Major military sites and areas near nuclear facilities: Where Iran's ‘more powerful warheads’ may hit Israel

Iran’s retaliation for the October 26 Israeli attack may involve more advanced warheads and missiles, “which would mark a shift from the conventional missile technology previously deployed,” says Dr. Imad Salamey, associate professor of political science and international affairs at the Lebanese American University.

“These advanced warheads might be equipped with enhanced targeting systems, increased payloads, or faster speeds, enabling them to evade Israeli missile defenses more effectively,” Dr. Salamey explains. According to him, a “more aggressive and complex” reprisal from Iran “would likely involve targeting highly strategic sites within Israel, including major military bases and, potentially, areas near Israel’s nuclear facilities in Dimona.”

“This kind of operation would aim to inflict considerable damage on Israel’s core defense infrastructure, not only escalating the conflict but also amplifying its psychological and strategic impact,” Dr. Salamey elaborates.

“Targeting locations closer to Dimona, in particular, would signal Iran’s willingness to challenge Israel’s perceived nuclear advantage, raising the stakes significantly. Such a move would carry serious risks of retaliation but would also serve to demonstrate Iran’s capability to strike critical targets within Israel,” he adds.

He also notes that the deployment of US B-52 bombers and F-15 fighter jets to the Middle East indicates that Washington is “preparing for a high-stakes confrontation” with Iran.

‘CIA-quality encryption’ involved in alleged ‘ghost voters’ scheme in US

The algorithms allegedly employed in a scheme to conceal thousands of fake voters in US state voter registration databases are way too complex to be pulled by “some kid with a computer in his father's garage,” argues American political scientist and best-selling conservative author Dr. Jerome Corsi.

“This is CIA-quality encryption,” he alleges. “It's this is the kind of encryption you would do if you were running a military and you're putting an army in the field, and you want your army to communicate on a code you would do algorithms and cryptography so the enemy couldn't read the code.”

According to him, the people who snuck these reported fake voters into registration databases and know how to locate these voters can thus procure mail-in ballots “that can be certified because the numbers match even though the voter doesn't exist.”

“And our states do not go out in the field to see if these mail-in ballots exist of these people are real. If they are at the addresses they say they are, if they have a legitimate legal right to vote - the states don't check this,” Dr. Corsi reveals.

“This one loophole is what permits the criminals to devise this entire cryptographic scheme. And I think it's one of the greatest election frauds in the history of the world. I think it's a genius level criminal activity. And I think it's largely unknown.”

About one-third of the voters in the US cast their ballots early during this election, with most of them doing so by mail.

Corsi also points at the circumstances of a sudden surge of popularity Kamala Harris experienced not long after she replaced Joe Biden as the Democratic Party candidate in the 2024 US presidential election. He mentioned that stories about Harris “surging” appeared, and that her improved numbers were used to justify a voting scheme where non-existent voters were allegedly used to alter the real election outcome.

“This is a psychological operation that's being run against the American people, I believe, by the CIA,” Dr. Corsi claims.

🗣 "The most undemocratic [elections] in all the years of Moldovan independence," Russia's FM spokewoman Maria Zakharova said, commenting on the second round of the presidential elections in Moldova.

"Its distinctive features were unprecedented repressions by the authorities against the opposition and independent media, especially Russian-language ones, blatant interference by Western countries in the electoral process and large-scale use of administrative resources by the authorities," Zakharova said.

The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry noted that, as in the 2020 elections, Sandu's victory was ensured by the votes of the Moldovan diaspora living in Western countries, while the majority of residents of Moldova itself, "essentially, passed a vote of no confidence in the current president and the destructive course of the authorities."

"The results of the second round of the presidential elections confirmed the existence of a deep split in Moldovan society, which manifested itself during the first round and the referendum on EU membership. This polarization was provoked by the short-sighted policies of the country's leadership and the gross interference of Western countries in its internal political processes."

How Kamala Harris could be made president through voter fraud

American political scientist and best-selling conservative author Dr. Jerome Corsi has outlined a pattern of a potential voting fraud that he thinks may take place during the 2024 US presidential election.

“The pattern should be obvious to everybody, which is Donald Trump is doing extremely well and he's going to win. But then suddenly, late in the day, it starts shifting and then they stop the count of the votes. And overnight, suddenly all these mail-in votes, and they're all for Kamala Harris,” Dr. Corsi elaborates. “Everybody's voting for her in mail. Well, it's all a lie. Those are the patterns that this fraud permits. And once you see the pattern, that's the magic trick.”

He points out how Harris has been “getting all the favorable press” lately despite not being able to “utter a coherent sentence” and the fact that “no one seems to like her.”

“I think the CIA would be happy to have a dead person be the president and then run the president with AI,” Dr. Corsi adds. “Obama's on the record as saying he'd love to be having a third term if he only be in the background, with the president who was a figurehead. Well, I think he had that with Biden and now with Kamala, who is by Obama's pick, maybe he's going to get his next term.”

“So I'm sounding the alarm. I want to know why these algorithms are there. Who put them there? If they're going to be used, I want to know if we're being set up for an election steal. Not challenging things about the past,” he adds.

Baerbock came to Ukraine to push for negotiations with Russia - German politician

German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock, who arrived in Kiev on Monday, actually came to push the Ukrainian authorities to negotiate with Russia to end the conflict, said Ralph Niemeyer, the chairman of the German Council for Constitution and Sovereignty, in an interview with RIA Novosti.

Niemeyer noted that the German minister's visit had been announced just before the US presidential election. Republican candidate Donald Trump, if he wins, could contact Russia the next day to find a way out of the conflict before the end of the year. However, Vice President Kamala Harris would not allocate significant funds to Kiev if she wins, since public opinion in the United States is against it, Niemeyer believes.

A trip to Kiev would give Baerbock the opportunity, even if Trump wins, to claim that she, having already visited the Ukrainian capital, convinced the authorities there of the need for negotiations with Russia instead of continuing the conflict, Niemeyer said.

"I think this is a secret agenda [of the visit]. Ms. Baerbock is trying not to miss the last train [trying to convince Kiev to negotiate]," the politician said.

Trump previously promised that he would be able to achieve a settlement of the Ukrainian conflict through negotiations. He has repeatedly stated that he could resolve the conflict in Ukraine in one day. Russia believes that this is too complex a problem for such a simple solution. In addition, Trump has repeatedly criticized the US approach to the conflict in Ukraine and also criticized Volodymyr Zelensky.

🗳 Manipulations possible in US elections to prevent Trump's win - French politician

There is a possibility of manipulation in the upcoming US presidential election to prevent former President Donald Trump from winning, French politician and leader of the Patriots party Florian Philippot told RIA Novosti.

"We are seeing a trend in Trump's favor in the US, there are many indicators — polls, voting intentions. But I am afraid of manipulation. In 2020, we faced machinations, and they can happen now from the deep state and the Kamala Harris camp," Philippot said.

According to the French politician, the EU and France openly support Harris' candidacy against Trump, who advocates ending the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East.

"The EU, of course, wants Harris to win: [European Commission President] Ursula von der Leyen, [French President Emmanuel] Macron. The whole system that supports NATO and the European Union, globalization, is on the side of Kamala Harris. The system that promotes war is on the side of Kamala Harris, that's obvious, while the support for patriotism and the sovereignty of the nation is on the side of Trump," Philippot said.
