A major lawsuit was submitted by Fulton County, Pennsylvania officials against Dominion Voting Systems in September 2022.

The lawsuit focused on violations of their contract, certification issues, connectivity issues, and the alleged presence of foreign databases and scripts on the systems. Some of the claims are on par with the “debunked” rumors associated with the “most secure election ever” claims, including internet connectivity, outdated security protections, remote accessibility, and random USBs inserted.

From the lawsuit:

46. On or after November 2020, Fulton County became aware of severe
anomalies in the Dominion Voting Systems due to the inaccuracy and/or inability
to reconcile voter data with votes actually cast and counted, i.e., tabulated, by the
System in Fulton County

47. On or after November 2020, Fulton County became aware of certain
factors and aspects of the Dominion Voting Systems that did not meet the
“conditions” for certification set forth in the January 2019 / February 2019
certification report

49. In addition, Fulton County was informed of additional anomalies and
problems in Dominion’s “voting” systems via an expert report written by J. Alex
Halderman in July 2021. (EXHIBIT C, the Halderman Declaration, September
21, 2021).

50. In his declaration, Halderman described numerous security
vulnerabilities in Dominion’s ICX software, including flaws that would allow
attackers to install malicious software on the ICX, either with temporary or
physical access (such as that of voters in polling places) or remotely from election
management systems. EXHIBIT C

52. At the time of that report, the author described that these
vulnerabilities still existed, and could be mitigated, but that such mitigation would
“take months for Dominion to assess the problems, develop responsive software
updates, test them, obtain any necessary approvals from the EAC and state-level
certification authorities, and distribute the new software….”

69. The September Report showed that external USB hard drives had been
inserted in the machines on several occasions, and that there is no known list of
approved external drives that could have been or were used or inserted into the
machines. In this regard, the report concluded that there was no
way to determine whether and to what extent these unauthorized drives
compromised the data or the system.

70. The September Report further concluded that there had been
“substantial changes” to the drives as seen with the inclusion of over 900 .dll files
and links created since the date of installation of the Dominion software and these
pathways constituted a security breach due to the introduction of an unauthorized
“script” into the Dominion voting systems used in Fulton County…

73. The September Report further determined that “[a]n external IP
address that is associated with Canada is found on the Adjudication01
[workstation]” and “[t]his shows that at least one of the network devices has
connected to an external device on an external network” and that this was the
same device that the post-certification python script was found on. Id., ¶ 7.
Among other findings, this constituted a direct violation of and failure of the
conditions required for certification in the Dominion Certification Report, see
EXHIBIT B, pp. 40-50, ¶ C.

74. The log files for the Adjudication device showed an IP address of
172.102.16.22, which derives from a location in Quebec, Canada and that this
revealed a serious issue to be connected remotely to a Canadian system

75. The machines and devices only had Windows Defender dating to July
2016 and that no other updates had been made. The report concluded
that “viruses or malicious software” created after that date would not be combated
by the systems without proper updates.

Earlier in the year in 2022, Democrats argued that voting machines are too fragile to be inspected and that if investigators touched them, they would need to be replaced. That was their defense of the voting machines.

Peter told The Gateway Pundit, “I am learning to respect and appreciate Todd Blanche. I never had a personal problem with him. I just wanted to see things get done. I am happy to report that Attorney General Blanche now has his feet on the ground, and they seem to be running.”

Ticktin added, “I believe that he is getting the fact that our whole nation is at risk due to the election rigging which occurred in 2020 and is still occurring.”

Attorney Ticktin then updated us on the Fulton County, Pennsylvania case,

“In this regard, the County Commissioners of Fulton County, Pennsylvania, sued Dominion Machines on the basis of a fraudulent inducement to sell its machines for the election fraud after the 2020 Election was over. The Dominion Machines showed an extra unauthorized machine was used and that the machines were accessed by a foreign power…

…In any event, the County Commissioners changed, and the new Commission was less intent on going after Dominion. The case ended and the judge was going to have the machines turned over to Dominion.”

Peter Ticktin also shared this with TGP:

“I alerted Todd Blanche, and he stepped in to make sure that the machines that prove foreign involvement are secured. This is the kind of quick action we need.

Of course, there are many other issues that need to be addressed, such as bringing (Colorado Secretary of State) Jena Griswold to justice, and going after AUSAs (Assistant US Attorneys), judges, police, and others who were fighting to harm Donald Trump’s success in fighting the true insurrectionists.”

Of course, at this point, we are all leery of any reports of new or ongoing investigations from the controversial 2020 election.  But we continue to hope and pray the truth will finally be revealed to the American public.

We shall see.

The Piracy in the Horn of Africa and Gulf of Aden is starting to see some pushback.

After a 10-day military battle, forces from Turkey’s navy and the Somali army have freed a hijacked vessel, killing 14 pirates.

Deutsche Welle reported:

“’During the 10-day operation, four boats used by the pirates were destroyed and 14 pirates were killed’, said a Somali Defense Ministry statement. ‘The sustained military pressure finally forced the remaining pirates to abandon the ship’.

The MV LUTUF, a Cameroon-flagged vessel, was hijacked on August 17 off the coast of the Nugaal region of Puntland state. The joint Turkey-Somalia operation was carried out as part of a defense cooperation agreement between the two countries.”

“The ministry did not provide details about any casualties or the well-being of the crew aboard the vessel but said, ‘The forces subsequently secured the MV LATUF, which has now safely resumed its journey’.”

At least eight crew members were reportedly on board, including one Turkish national.

Maritime Executive reported:

“In a statement from Turkey’s Ministry of Defense, they confirmed that the ship had been transporting supplies to the TURKSOM Military Base in Somalia when it was targeted by pirates.

[…] There had been reports from Somalia of several earlier skirmishes with the pirates. The media said between four and six pirates were killed when they left the cargo ship in a small boat to resupply. The cargo ship was reportedly then placed in a full lockdown by the pirates. The crew of the Lutuf consisted of 10 members: six Indian nationals, one Turkish national, one Georgian, and two Serbian security guards.

[…] Somali pirates are thought to be still holding four more ships that have been seized since April. Countries including Egypt and Pakistan have been pressuring for a diplomatic solution to release their citizens who are among the kidnapped crewmembers. Pakistani officials had said that because the ships are tankers, it would be too dangerous to attempt to retake the vessels by force.”

A federal appeals court has ruled that the private possession of AI-generated child pornography is protected by the First Amendment, so long as no real child was involved in creating the images.

The Seventh Circuit upheld the dismissal of a possession charge against Wisconsin resident Steven Anderegg.

According to investigators, Anderegg had hundreds of AI-generated sexually explicit images depicting children on his personal devices.

Anderegg still faces three other charges related to allegedly producing and distributing the material and transferring it to a minor under 16.

The Justice Department appealed the dismissal, arguing that the government should be permitted to prohibit possession of all obscene virtual child sexual abuse material.

However, the appeals court said it was bound by the Supreme Court’s 2002 decision in Ashcroft v. Free Speech Coalition.

Pornography that sexualizes children is not “speech.” AI or not, cyber child sex abuse has no place in our republic. The First Amendment was never meant to shield the grooming of an appetite for kids.

Protect our children damn it. https://t.co/bfnOC7vBzg

That ruling struck down restrictions covering sexually explicit depictions of fictional children when no actual minors were exploited in their production.

Two judges nevertheless expressed serious concerns about applying the nearly 25-year-old precedent to modern artificial intelligence.

“Indeed, in Free Speech Coalition, the Supreme Court addressed the scope of First Amendment protections for virtual CSAM [child sexual abuse material], but that was nearly twenty five years ago, and the image generation technology available today was likely unimaginable back then,” Judge John Lee wrote.

“Given the relentless advancement in artificial intelligence models, we have some concerns about the lines these cases draw, but we are not free to redraw them ourselves.”

The result is a disturbing legal distinction.

Possession of child sexual abuse material involving real children can be criminalized because actual victims were exploited.

But entirely artificial depictions will receive constitutional protection when privately possessed at home.

Judges Lee and Joshua Kolar also cited research findings of child sexual abuse images in a major dataset used to train image-generating AI.

That raises the possibility that supposedly artificial material could still be connected to the exploitation of real children.

Unfortunately, the judges said the issue was not sufficiently developed in Anderegg’s case to decide it.

Justice Clarence Thomas warned about this problem as far back as 2002, suggesting technological advances could eventually make virtual depictions indistinguishable from images involving actual victims.

The decision will now only be reversed if the Supreme Court agrees to revisit its earlier ruling.

President Trump issued a stunning message Sunday night indicating that Iran’s most important oil-export hub was under devastating attack.

“Kharg Island being blown to smithereens!!! President DJT,” Trump announced on Truth Social.

Trump’s post included a dramatic AI-generated video depicting explosions across the island.

Neither the White House nor the Department of War had publicly confirmed a new attack on Kharg Island’s oil facilities. Reuters reported that Iranian state media had also issued no immediate response.

Kharg Island is the crown jewel of Iran’s energy industry. Before the war, the island handled approximately 90 percent of the regime’s oil exports.

Earlier Sunday, US forces conducted a confirmed strike against two Iranian rocket launchers on Larak Island, roughly 410 miles east of Kharg Island.

US Central Command said Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps forces were observed preparing to launch rockets carrying sea mines into the Strait of Hormuz.

CENTCOM described the operation as a “limited, precise action” against Iranian forces posing an “imminent threat” to civilian mariners, commercial vessels, and international commerce.

“In essence, Iran created the threat and the U.S. military eliminated it to protect civilian mariners, commercial shipping, and the free flow of global commerce,” CENTCOM said, according to the Associated Press.

The official CENTCOM account identified the immediate threat as IRGC preparations to deploy rockets carrying sea mines into the Strait of Hormuz.

The Iranian regime later retaliated by firing ballistic missiles at two US bases in Jordan.

Jordan’s armed forces reportedly intercepted eight missiles that entered the country’s airspace. Nearly all the incoming missiles were shot down, and no significant damage was immediately reported.

Majority Whip Tom Emmer was on “Sunday Morning Futures” with guest host Cheryl Casone to discuss the SAVE America Act and the Clarity Act.

Rep Emmer expressed his frustration with the Senate for not passing legislation that is supported by a majority of Americans.

“Let’s first talk about the agenda. What is at the top of the agenda? Obviously, short-term government funding. You want to avert any kind of pre-election shutdown,” Casone said.

“You’ve only got 16 legislative days before you leave again on October 1st. What can you get done?” Casone asked.

“First off, you hit the number one thing. The short-term funding bill that was sent over by the Senate. The continuing resolution that would fund the government through December 11th. That will be a priority over in the House because we get things done,” Emmer said.

“We’ve sent our priorities over to the Senate. We sent the Clarity Act, which is about digital assets. A market structure bill. We sent that a year ago Cheryl, with almost a hundred Democrat votes, and it languishes over in the Senate,” Emmer said.

“We sent the SAVE America Act several times, and it sits over there, languishing in the Senate, and we sent over obviously Reconciliation 3.0, which is also just sitting there in the Senate,” Emmer continued.

“It really is gonna be on the Senate’s shoulders to start getting something done when we get back. As for the House, we’ve got appropriations bills. Many of our members have different priorities. Those will be addressed,” Emmer continued.

“The House has been working Cheryl. We’ve been getting our stuff over to the Senate. The Senate has got to start to perform,” Emmer said.

“It’s still unclear if Senator Majority Leader John Thune has the votes for SAVE America. The Clarity Act is still a hanging question mark right now. What do you know? What can you share with us?” Casone asked.

“What’s coming out of the Senate. Everybody has heard them say we don’t have the votes. Really? You don’t have the votes for something that is an 80 percent issue across this country,” Emmer commented.

“People believe it’s reasonable that in order to vote in this country, you must first establish that you are a lawful citizen. That’s number one. Number two, when you show up to vote, you make sure that you identify, you can confirm that you are that citizen who is lawfully right to vote by showing a photo ID. That’s an 80 percent issue,” Emmer said.

“When you say you don’t have the votes, tell us what the problem is. What exactly do you disagree with when it comes to the American people, and they are not telling us that,” Emmer explained.
