DHS Issues Report: “Patrick Byrne was right again. Again.”

Well, not really. The title of the actual DHS report is rather prosaic: ICS Advisory (ICSA-22-154-01)

It was issued on June 3, 2022, and it acknowledges that Dominion systems have nine major security “vulnerabilities” that make them inappropriate for use without remedy. To the nine vulnerabilities, DHS-CISA respectively attaches these nine warnings:

  1. “An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to install malicious code, which could also be spread to other vulnerable ImageCast X devices via removable media.”
  2. “An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to disguise malicious applications on a device.”
  3. “…which could be leveraged by an attacker to gain elevated privileges on a device and/or install malicious code.”
  4. “An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges on a device and/or install malicious code.”
  5. “An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to spread malicious code to ImageCast X devices from the EMS.”
  6. “An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges on a device and/or install malicious code.”
  7. “An attacker with physical access may use this to gain administrative privileges on a device and install malicious code or perform arbitrary administrative actions.”
  8. “An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to gain access to sensitive information and perform privileged actions, potentially affecting other election equipment.”
  9. “An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to print an arbitrary number of ballots without authorization.”

According to the DHS-CISA, the “vulnerabilities” have had cases open at the National Institute of Standards & Technology (“NIST”) where they are all, “awaiting analysis”:

And so on, for nine vulnerabilities.

The DHS asserts that, “Exploitation of these vulnerabilities would require physical access to individual ImageCast X devices, access to the Election Management System (EMS), or the ability to modify files before they are uploaded to ImageCast X devices.” In other words, Exploiting these vulnerabilities would require someone to stand near or hack into the machines.

So the DHS has explained that these systems have nine remarkable vulnerabilities which could allow an attacker to visit the parade of evils upon election systems listed above (any one of which would compromise an election), has explained that NIST has each vulnerability “under analysis,” and until then can only advise the clever remedy of Don’t let anyone stand near or hack into an election machine. And of the past, the DHS-CISA will now only say, “While these vulnerabilities present risks that should be mitigated as soon as possible, CISA has no evidence that these vulnerabilities have been exploited in any elections.”

Call me a stickler, but that is a a far cry from, “the most secure election in history,” which is how 18 months ago the DHS-CISA described the election of November 2020.

I congratulate the DHS-CISA for having reached an understanding that was my own, on approximately October 30, 2020.

The truth is, as a fellow who built a $2 billion e-commerce company, I can promise that these machines are riddled with nine technology failures that are not “vulnerabilities” so much as “failures”. They are beyond remedy. That is why the DHS sounds so hapless in their proposed remedies: they have the issues “under analysis” and in the meantime suggest that no one be allowed proximity to a machine or an opportunity to hack into one. What kind of “remedy” is that?

In sum, DHS-CISA acknowledges that the machines used in 300 counties out of 3,000 (but holding far higher than 10% of our population) was run on machines riddled with nine security “vulnerabilities”.

It gets worse. In one place only in the USA was access to the systems granted, and that was done legally, by the county official in charge of keeping the country records of Mesa County, Colorado (i.e., Grand Junction). That was Tina Peters. My understanding is that Ms. Peters is non-political, ran for office in 2018 over a matter having to do with parking tickets, but in May, 2021 found herself in a situation where she suspected the Secretary of State of Colorado (Soros Goon Jenna Griswold) was forcing her to comply with a cover-up by acquiescing to a smash-down of the evidence on Ms. Peter’s county computers (a major federal felony). This caused Ms. Peters to order that a forensic backup of her county’s election computer be done (as was her right to do: in fact, given her title of “County Recorder,” I would say it was her duty). The resulting Before Image was done by a competent certified white hack security professional. After the technicians and representatives from Secretary of State Griswold’s office had left, an After Image was also made. The two images found the way into the hands of a CEO of a cybersecurity firm, Jeff O”Donnell, and his collaborator, Dr. Walter Daugherty, a Professor Emeritus of Computer Science at Texas A&M. They wrote this Mesa County Colorado Voting Systems Forensic Report #3″:

This report shows two stunning findings:

  1. Comparison of the Before and After images should that there was, in fact, a complete smash-down, and the data behind Election 2020 was wiped out. My understanding is that every destroyed file is a felony, and there were roughly 100,000 such files destroyed.
  2. The Before Image confirm our worst suspicions: three days into the counting, a new Election Database was created, 29,000 votes were swept into it, and the provenance of at least 6,000 votes (and possibly the full 29,000) became impossible to establish. In other words, precisely what the DHS – CISA report warns could be done on a machine, was in fact found to have been done on the election computers of Mesa County, Colorado. This event could have been done in one of three ways:
    • The county employees did it. But the county employees agree the new database was illegal, deny they did it, deny they knew about it, and deny they have the skills to have accomplished what was accomplished. The authors of Mesa Country Forensic Report #3 believe them. They do not believe the county employees did it.
    • An outside hacker could have done it. But they find no evidence of that and say that it would have been a a remarkable hacker who could have masked the penetration and covered tracks so thoroughly.
    • It was a script, a process buried within the machine, lurking. When it saw the election was not turning out as hoped, when 1/3 of the way into counting the ballots the numbers veered outside some per-determined guardrail, the process woke itself up and executed this quite complex task of creating a new Election Database within the machine, shifting 29,000 votes of which at least 6,000 have no provenance.

For discussion of this report, please see my recent 90 minute interview with Jeffrey O’Donnell. It slips into more dolphin-speak than the public may be use to, but it is 95% clear of dolphin-speak.

The reader who gives 10 minutes to the DHS-CISA report, and who will either read the Mesa County Report #3 (or see my 90 minute interview thereon with Jeff O’Donnell), will have a state of knowledge roughly equivalent to my state of knowledge on October 30, 2020.

Let us now revisit the last 18 months. In November 2020, myself and a group of merry patriots began claiming that the election of 2020 was hacked, and said we could prove it by looking at the equipment in six communities in the USA. The DHS – CISA opposed us, declaring the election of 2020, “the most secure in history.” Two weeks ago, however, DHS – CISA came out and acknowledged nine major security flaws in the systems “…which could be leveraged by an attacker to gain elevated privileges on a device and/or install malicious code” (as DHS-CISA put it). Thus in the one machine in the USA that citizens were able to examine, they discovered the mid-count creation of an election database (unknown to and admitted illegal by county employees) wherein 29,000 ballots were manipulated (and 6,000 irremediably so). The only working hypothesis for that stunning event is the action of a “malicious code” insertion, such as the DHS-CISA now makes clear is possible nine ways from Sunday, and for which they have no remedy other than the matter is under analysis, until then don’t let anyone physically come near or otherwise hack into your systems. And in the six counties we really wanted to look, we were blocked in five and in the sixth (Maricopa) they deleted the election database the night before complying with the subpoena.

Since November 3, 2020, the Election Integrity movement has been seeking to determine if any mischief was visited upon machines in use in the USA. We wanted to look at machines in six key counties in the USA, those holding Las Vegas, Phoenix, Milwaukee, Detroit, Philadelphia, and Atlanta. In five of the six counties, citizens were blocked from doing so by extraordinary efforts of the Establishment. In one county, Maricopa (containing Phoenix), the Arizona Senate received an order from the Senate Judiciary to conduct an investigation and received a subpoena which a court held to be valid, yet when Maricopa officials lost their efforts to block it, they delivered their subpoenaed materials having deleted the election database: that is to say, precisely what one could check to determine whether or not any of the nine evils of the DHS-CISA report had, in fact, been undertaken. In some inexplicable twist of American history, citizens have been vilified and blocked for wanting to conduct examinations to find… precisely the things DHS-CISA now acknowledges may exist, and which the Mesa County, Colorado Forensic Report #3 has actually found.

For 18 months we have faced assertions that our claims are “baseless” and that anyone who entertains our suspicions is falling for “The Big Lie”. DHS-CISA has now come out with its report (which I will hereinafter refer to as it’s “Patrick Byrne was right again. Again” report) admitting the possibility of “malicious code,” and Mesa County Colorado Forensic Report #3 has found precisely such aforementioned “malicious code insertion” (unknown to the county officials involved) creating databases and moving votes around.

So the assertions that our claims were “baseless” and “The Big Lie” turned out to be false. Not just false: frivolous. Constant blind repition of a mantra based on no actual knowledge and a confidence that has now proven to have been false.

I feel thus entitled to take the bold step of saying that anyone who claims that our assertions are “baseless” shoulders an intellectual duty to explain why.

Thus, to the journalists who are coming out of the wall to contact me, I now propose this filter:

Please write me an email acknowledging it would no longer be appropriate to use the words “Big Lie” or “baseless” to describe my assertions. Or, if you still hold that it would be appropriate, write me your explanation why, in the face of this DHS-CISA report and Mesa County #3, it would still be appropriate. A journalist not willing to do one or the other is a journalist who feels unbound by rules of logic of conventional discourse, and is not a journalist with whom I will engage. Henceforth, only those who are willing to so engage, are journalists for whom I have time.

Afterward

Mesa County’s response to this situation has been remarkably hapless. There was one explanation given in a courtroom, under oath, but only when the county had gotten its way the no members of the public could be in attendance, and nothing but a speaker phone was in the courtroom. There they explained (presumably with straight faces, but one never knows) a Barney Fife explanation, that could have been verified if the cameras had been activated, but (so they explained) at that precise moment all motion in the room ceased. Work in the room continued but with no movement at desks, so the motion-activated cameras turned off for 2:43. For two minutes and forty three seconds, perfect stillness, which created a 2:43 second gap in the relevant video that could confirm or falsify their explanation.

Jeffrey O’Donnell has debunked the Mesa County replies:

  1. So everything in this article proves irrefutable, treasonous election fraud. Massive amounts of it. Just like we’ve been shown over the past 19 months. And where are we??? The Deep-State controlled Biden is STILL in the White House, and Dems and RINOs continue to decimate our country without one arrest of ANY OF THEM!!!!! We Patriots are BEYOND tired of having all the traitor’s crimes pointed out to us, without one damn consequence.

    1. Of course, as usual the article proves nothing of the sort. The Republican DA investigated the O’Donnell/Daugherity report on Mesa County and found no evidence of deliberate fraud, but they did find that the county employee Sandra Brown had tried to fix some problems with the databases herself instead of getting tech support from Dominion, and she has been fired. Contrary to O’Donnell’s claim that election clerks had told him they didn’t mess with the database, the DA couldn’t find a single person that talked to O’Donnell. Daugherity said he didn’t interview any county employees, and O’Donnell refused to talk to the DA.

      What the Hell, O’Donnell? The Republican DA tries to follow up on your claim of election mismanagement (or tampering) and you run and hide? Yeah, wow, that give me confidence in your analysis…um…not.
      https://www.cpr.org/2022/05/19/da-investigation-refutes-claims-of-mesa-county-election-fraud/

      And even in O’Donnell’s interview with Patrick (I’ve watched about half so far and I’ll watch the rest in due course), he says NOTHING about “irrefutable, treasonous fraud”. As usual, that’s the preordained conclusion people here, repeat with no proof, just like Patrick did in his “j’accuse” post of Jan 18, as I previously demonstrated.

      And the DHS report also makes no claim of fraud. In it’s 9 identified vulnerabilities, all of them say “could” (except for one that says “may”). None of them say “did”.

        1. First off Dominion is nothing like Microsoft. One is a voting machine hardware supplier and the other is a highly detailed and expansive software company. The fact that a piece of hardware with its own ARCHAIC software built in has 9 vulnerabilities is the EXACT POINT Patrick is making. We have the technology to do far better than Dominion which has barely (or not at all) upgraded their product in 20 years. Whether or not this proves anything about the 2020 election is irrelevant. What it proves is that Dominion is incompetent and can no longer be trusted. Period.

          1. “Irrelevant” lol! The whole point of most of the posts and discussion here (aside from an occasional segue into COVID misinformation) is the claim that the 2020 election was systematically hacked and stolen. So it matters very much if those Dominion weaknesses were exploited or not. If they weren’t actually exploited, and remain only potential vulnerabilities, then they provide exactly ZERO support to the dramatic claim that you or another anonymous poster (when are you guys gonna use nicknames??!!) made above that “this article proves irrefutable, treasonous election fraud. Massive amounts of it”. There is NO “irrefutable proof” here. Certainly, O’Donnell was clear on that, despite you or your nicknamesake not listening. That term actually has a defined meaning beyond being a catch phrase to drum up outrage and donations to Trump’s private slush funds.

          2. I’ll accept RobertG’s assertion that this is not irrefutable proof. Will he concede that it is sufficient to give rise to a question of fact? That it is not “the big lie”? That it is not grounds for disbarring attorneys that have the temerity to make this argument in court?

          3. tommylotto: of course, everything is always worth questioning. It’s the people who have already concluded it is fact, that I might have a problem with, because their certainty means they have a very low standard of proof. The local DA (R) didn’t think there was enough evidence to further investigate the O’Donnell claims, and I don’t have the information he has, so I don’t a problem with that; and DHS doesn’t think Dominion machines were hacked, they just think they need to be updated for better security, but I’m not American and I’m not in Colorado or Arizona, so none of this is up to me. I’m just an interested observer/commentator who has a stake in the integrity of the US government, like everybody else on earth.

            Most of the “evidence” we’ve seen so far has turned out to be bogus. The only thing I’ve seen so far, that might actually turn out to be real, are those midnight ballot drop-off squads, but I won’t be surprised if that turns out to be massively exaggerated. Plus they were trying to actually help eligible voters vote, not stuff the boxes with fake ballots.

    2. Punishment is coming. It takes time, as you just have realized, to reveal the crime. It will take more time to prosecute, especially since the Biden regime is in charge right now. The right people must be in the right places for justice and punishment to be delivered. However, there are MANY patriots working to bring this all about. It IS going to happen. Use the knowledge you have and the desire in your heart to defend freedom and right wrongs. Do your part – as I will do mine – and make sure you vote for anyone who is NOT a Democrat/RINO. Where we go one, we go all.

  2. I am listening to all of the Sunday “news and information programs quote.” I keep hearing over and over again, our democracy is under threat, can we save democracy? It strikes me that it’s very very simple: Instead of making every effort to obstruct and block a clean look and audit of the election of 11 three, why don’t they just opened it all up transparently and PROVE(!!!!!!) to the American people that it was all above board. ITS EXTREMELY SIMPLE

  4. Very helpful. The embedded script is a point shaving trick (deleting enough Trump votes to maintain the desired Trump/Biden percentage). 6k votes burned, mule-in paper to cover. After that too many votes were coming in for the algorithm. At a certain number, shut it all down (making sure you have stashed enough adjudications in the pool), redo this data base with your desired number (again using mule-paper to fill altered votes). ERIC system has helped bloat the voter rolls with phantoms and given access to the bad guys to fish them out.

    The main hope seems to be that this cheating system on average will only be able to steal about 10%, unless they do the kinds of obvious shenanigans done in the 6 critical electoral counties (shut it all down at 1:00, throw everyone out, bring in truckloads of bad paper, pull out the hidden suitcases with votes, massively generate huge adjudication until you hit the magic number, offsite bulk adjudication, weeks trying to fix the muled-paper to the created votes).

    THIS “WORKED” ONCE, IT WON’T WORK AGAIN. TOO BLATANT AND OBVIOUS. (FOOL ME ONCE, SHAME ON YOU, FOOL ME TWICE, SHAME ON ME)

    Note: Jovan Pulitzer is presenting comprehensive results on Maricopa AZ early next week that should show better how this multi-faceted FICO industrial level fraud system is stitched together. Should be interesting.

  5. And don’t forget, all the evidence is set to be erased on Nov. 2022! All machines will be purged after the mandatory 24 month hold on data. Of course some of the most egregious fraud has already been erased. All our current elections are showing Nothing has changed from 2020! People winning without campaigning and far down in the poles! Seriously, Why would they stop? Why?

    1. “Why would they stop?” is exactly the question I keep asking myself.

      That is a main reason why I believe it is so important to have a specific policy platform for We The People to unite,promote and rally behind and fair,honest,accurate ,transparent elections where every citizen can verify their votes were counted accurately should be the #1 policy on that platform.

      Consider the ridiculous amounts of time and money wasted on failed election campaigns when any time or money you spend supporting and promoting a policy platform can live on past any particular individual campaign and continue to gain support and provide a clear path for people to unite behind principles and become a force for positive change worldwide.

      The point is, achieving real change will probably require that people start making demands for the support of a list of policies that ANY POLITICIAN INCLUDING TRUMP need to endorse and publicly advocate for in order to earn the vote of the people.

      And of course it would also require making sure elected officials back up words with action after stating support for certain policies.

      This is why I believe supporting , promoting and rallying behind a platform of policies is MUCH more important right now than promoting individual politicians and their vague claims of “vote for me and I’ll make things better”.

      And I believe a widely supported specific policy platform will give lesser known candidates who have integrity but minimal financing a better chance to win elections where they can easily stand out by endorsing a such a platform.

  6. It still seems to me the solution would be a voting system that perhaps had both an electronic,blockchain vote AND a paper vote cast simultaneously in which the electronic ballots and paper ballots were counted separately to expose any discrepancies / fraud, in addition to voting receipts that a company like Voatz provides.

    However,I doubt there are many politicians who actually want fair,accurate,transparent elections.

    In the meantime, you can vote with your wallet and attention by boycotting companies like twitter,google, facebook,apple,netflix,amazon.microsoft,CNN,MSNBC,MSM, & others in big tech/media/finance/pharma (including not owning their stocks) to counter their censorship and corruption.

    That is simply the best idea I can think of to IMMEDIATELY counter corruption and censorship in a peaceful,productive way.
    Money talks,and it can be used for good in contrast to all the bad things it is also used for.

    It should be very telling that NOT ONE famous “pro-freedom” media personality or politician is promoting an action plan to We The People to encourage simple actions to make positive change and counter all the censorship and corruption,which would be SO EASY TO DO.

    1. Iv’e been promoting an action plan for about 3 years but won’t post the whole thing on this site again as I’ve posted it here several times before.
      My accounts were shut down by twitter,google(for youtube comments),rumble and truth social.
      Will post the link below if anyone wants to read it.
      I am not selling anything and don’t ask anyone for money.Peace

  7. Exploitation of these vulnerabilities would require physical access to individual ImageCast X devices, access to the Election Management System (EMS), or the ability to modify files before they are uploaded to ImageCast X devices. Jurisdictions can prevent and/or detect the exploitation of these vulnerabilities by diligently applying the mitigations recommended in this advisory, including technical, physical, and operational controls that limit unauthorized access or manipulation of voting systems. Many of these mitigations are already typically standard practice in jurisdictions where these devices are in use and can be enhanced to further guard against exploitation of these vulnerabilities.

  8. More reading. More reading and looking up stuff. Sometimes I regret getting involved with this Patrick Byrne guy. It’s like ….. work.

  9. The point is that the vulnerability mentioned can not be exploited by a hack. It must be a person well versed in IT. Not a local election volunteer. And even that person must be well-prepared and have the opportunity and do it undetected. And it only affects Voting System Version 5.5-A. Not other versions. California and others for instance never used that version. Was version 5.5 used in all questionable jurisdictions even? And if so, were is the proof this vulnerability was actually exploited? I thought it was the foreigners at some point….
