I can’t find anything in the article which points to actual evidence. It’s more like this:
Waldron has said that the team behind the PowerPoint included former intelligence officers and military veterans and was supported by hundreds of “digital warriors” who provided research. Jovan H. Pulitzer, a Texas-based entrepreneur who is a vocal election denier, told The Post that he contributed material for it.
“It was a pretty wide variety of folks from around this country that jumped in to say how can we help,” Waldron told The Post.
The Waldron team’s 36-page presentation includes several slides that were previously published elsewhere, including graphs purporting to show “vote injections” in key states including Arizona and Pennsylvania.
Some of the graphs appeared in a Nov. 24 blog post by Patrick Byrne, the founder and former chief executive of Overstock.com. The following day, Waldron held up a copy of the Pennsylvania graph when he testified in support of Giuliani at a meeting with state legislators in Gettysburg. Waldron claimed that the graph showed “spike anomalies” that were signs of fraud.
The Arizona graph appeared, with the same design, text and font, in a Dec. 1 affidavit from Ramsland that pro-Trump lawyer Sidney Powell included as purported evidence of fraud in a lawsuit seeking to “decertify” Arizona’s election results.
“Spike anomalies.” Good grief. These people are idiots!
Also,
Waldron also has worked as a firearms instructor and owns a distillery, according to a company website and a state corporate filing.
Meadows didn’t write it. I can’t find a link (maybe someone here will post it), but it was established earlier that it was created by someone in Texas and then someone brought it to the WH inner circle (Giuliani, maybe?).
Further evidence that it didn’t originate with Meadows, is that he included it in the docs sent to the 1/6 committee because it wasn’t something he needed to hide, i.e. it wasn’t followed up on. The committee will be looking at the stuff he does want to hide.
I have seen the power point sludge. It is scary/shocking. And no one from the White House or Congress who saw it reacted as I have and went public with their opposition. That is scary as well.
You can read the doc here (this is a 36 slide version but clearly the same base for the one in the Committee’s possession)
It was written by Jovan Pulitzer, a noted crank who also originated the “bamboo fibers” ballot fraud theory.
TLDR
It is largely Sidney Powell’s arguments about Venezuela, Smartmatic, Dominion, etc. all being compromised and allowing for easy “injection” of votes (without corresponding ballots, etc.) into official tallies.
Soooo yeah, completely disregards the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Administration (staffed and run by Trump appointees) findings, the actual court cases adjudicated around any of this, and the numerous state-level apparatuses for election integrity which are largely run on a bipartisan basis …
And of course introduces a bunch of already debunked evidence as of January 6th such as the ASOG (a Cyber Ninjas clone) “report” on Antrim County, wherein the Michigan AG had already responded to in court in December:
Sure, maybe there was significant foreign interference. If there was, it’s because Trump let them in and they put their fingers on the scale to help him. This is like the orphan pleading for mercy…
Since you invoke name, George Conway and Mark Elias are dusting off old NYT news articles underestimating the damage that Hitler could do. Right after he served time in prison for just being Hitler… December 20 2024.
According to the Post, Waldron said that he and Meadows “weren’t pen pals” and that their communication was often through Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani, who would sometimes ask Walldron to “explain this to Mark” over the phone.
It figures that Giuliani couldn’t even spell Waldron’s name properly when addressing him.
According to Thompson, Meadows produced communications documenting an early White House effort to push for the appointment of “alternate slates of electors” on the day networks called Biden’s presidential victory.
These “alternate slates of electors” sound suspiciously similar to “alternate facts.”
There are assertions of foreign (Chinese) interference scattered throughout the entire whackadoodle deck. I’ll walk through all of them, but you’d better be sitting down and have ibuprofen handy, and maybe a strong beverage.
Slide 2 says, without any support, “The Chinese systematically gained control over our election system constituting a national security emergency”
Slide 12 says, also with nothing to back it up, “The Issue: NATIONAL SECURITY
Election Fraud and Foreign Interference: One Tactic that is part of a larger Strategic Plan”
Slide 13: “China has leveraged financial, non-governmental and foreign allies including Venezuela to acquire INFLUENCE and CONTROL US Voting Infrastructure in at least 28 States.”
Slide 14: "Critical Infrastructure control utilized as part of ongoing globalist/socialist operation to subvert the will of United States Voters and install a China ally.
Slide 15 titled “Timeline” is a disconnected series of argle-bargle whose main points appear to be, firstly, that Jorge Rodriguez is VP of Venezuela, and secondly that “China” invested some money in a PE firm called Staple Street Capital. Oh, also that Hugo Chavez “created” Smartmatic in 2003. (You did heed my warning about the ibuprofen, right?)
Slide 16 is some clip art of a Chinese flag and the text: “Some of the following is an abstract from the larger report Project Foot Patrol and includes relevant slides on the following:
Chinese Communist Party (CCP) FINANCIAL CONTROL of Dominion Voting Machines
CCP CONTROL OF TESTING for Smartmatic Software Operating Dominion Voting Machines”
Slide 17 titled “CCP Financial Control of Dominion Voting Machines” boils down to the fact that UBS Securities has a co-owned subsdiary in China and has had at various points members of its board of directors with suspiciously Chinese names. As is the case with every other foreign company that operates there, foreigners are not permitted to have majority ownership of the China-based entity, so UBS Securities Co LTD Beijing is majority-owned by various state entities.
Silde 18 is a Glenn Beck-worthy diagram with UBS and Dominion and Staple Street and Smartmatic and lions and dollars and bears oh my. I won’t try to reproduce it here; if you did not heed my additional caution about an appropriate analgesic beverage, then it would be a cruelty; if you did heed the warning, you’re probably already blotto enough that it won’t matter.
Slide 19, by the way, doesn’t mention furriners at all, but it does attempt to prove that Smartmatic and Dominion are working together based on the fact that they fought a lawsuit against each other. Yes, really.
Slide 20 is about how some Chinese company supposedly tested “Smartmatic Software Operation on Dominion Voting Machines”. Which is kinda like testing Apple iPhone software on your Google Android phone. Or maybe like testing a vinyl LP record on your Waring blender.
Slide 21 says “CCP Control of Testing for Smartmatic Software Operation on Dominion Voting Machines, ergo, they embedded anything they wanted!” Because as we all know, testing software changes the source code at the company. What’sa matter, kid, ain’t you never heard of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle? Observing an object changes it. QED. (If you’re still conscious, feel free to take another drink.)
Slide 24, under the heading “Perpetrators”, includes “Foreign Actors that shift votes and/or add votes all across the country either through adjudications or outright database overwrites” … which would need at least a few croutons and some arugula to even qualify as a word salad.
Slide 25 includes the statement “The foreign actors had to shift votes across the country in all areas in order to achieve their objectives (Biden Victory)”
Slide 35, the last one before the “THE END” slide, may be my favorite. It is, or purports to be, a picture of a bunch of boxes in a warehouse, marked “DOMINION VOTING SYSTEMS” and “MADE IN CHINA”. This fascinating bit of malarkey is worth of more attention, but I apparently have some things on my other laptop, so I’m going to wrap this already-too-long post up here and do a followup on the Case of the Bogus Boxes.
And he sounds absolutely unapologetic. What a nutcase. What a fine representative of the US Army.
Hardly the first time we’ve had a crazy colonel (or mad major or gonzo general).
That is the problem with these kind of guys, they are freaking attention nymphomaniacs, and they just will not shut up even if they end screwing their buddies.
