Dyer's Latest Update On The 'Key Supporting Effort'

Just yesterday the question of "Whatever happened to DNI Ratcliffe's report?" came up in the comments. That's Trump's Executive Order 13848, requires the DNI to submit an assessment of any foreign interference in US elections within 45 days of an election. That deadline has come and gone. Ratcliffe did indicate at one point that he was not getting all the cooperation he needed from some unnamed agencies of the federal government, but there's been no further word, except that the assessment is in process.  In light of some recent developments--as explained in Jen Dyer's latest very thorough article--it may be worth wondering whether Ratcliffe's assessment is now being deliberately withheld by the Trump administration for use at the proper time. As we'll see, not only Dyer but George Eliason at Creative Destruction Media offer good reason to believe that Trump is aware of such foreign interference--and that China may be one of the foreign actors involved.

The best way to start may be with Eliason's article, which Dyer cites. It's a long, technical article, but the title will give you at least an idea of what it contains.


GA’s SoS Raffensperger Gave Hackers Roadmap To Infiltrate Machines A Year Before Election


Eliason details some of Raffensperger's illegal shenanigans, but for our purposes this brief excerpt tells us what we want to know--the national security angle to the story of the Big Steal is very real:


In short, there is no security on the Dominion system at all. Most importantly, you’ll see how the election is being stolen from the inside. 

The stories about the election tallies being sent overseas to Germany, Rome, the UK, Canada, and other exotic places to be processed are true. Inside Dominion’s contract is a use of temporary foreign worker’s clause for the GA general election. This is Dominion’s contract with the State of Georgia.

Dominion hired workers in foreign countries to service the 2020 election. Dominion uses 3 or 4 levels of access keys to operate the Democracy Suite system. Just to be able to work from outside the United States, these foreign nationals working with the ballots need have master tech keys. With the tech keys every part of the system is open and every election file is available and changeable.


Obviously Trump knows all that, too--and undoubtedly lots more.

Now, since the election Dyer has been concentrating on what she calls the "key supporting effort" behind Trump's strategy, which she believes can give a broader picture of what Trump is up to. Importantly, Dyer believes that Trump, through his national security agencies, has been monitoring developments since 2019--in other words, the 2020 election should be viewed as the culmination of an essentially global effort against Trump. Like Dyer, I've pointed out that there appears to be a two track strategy in the Trump camp: the legal strategy, spearheaded by Rudy Giuliani's team, and a less visible national security strategy--which would likely involve coordination with DNI Ratcliffe. Dyer covers that, as well as much more.

Yesterday Dyer did her latest update on that theme. It covers a lot of ground, and I won't attempt to summarize it all. In particular, in my excerpts below I'll be leaving out all reference to some of the most important and suggestive aspects of Dyer's article--the diplomatic and military aspects. Do yourself a favor and read the entire article for the full picture. What I'll try to fairly narrowly focus on is the overall national security framework that Dyer sees behind recent events:


Trump’s ‘Operation Vote’: Glimmers of the key supporting effort, and the larger strategic context.


One of the events that Dyer hones in on as having national security bearing may surprise you--it's the Trump Raffensperger phone conversation. Dyer has reviewed the transcript of the call--which was initially withheld by the WaPo. Behind the false media narrative what Dyer sees is Trump making guarded references to the national security angle behind election related events in Georgia. Think back to Eliason's point regarding the foreign workers servicing the Georgia election:


But Trump does say “we found a way” to – apparently – prove what was being done through Dominion machines.  He said “we’re not giving Dominion a pass on the record”; i.e., they won’t be formally let off the hook.  This could come back to haunt somebody.  I think Trump wanted that to be understood.

And he said, in regard to the Dominion angle, “I’m not looking to shake up the whole world.” Trump doesn’t say things like that merely to engage in hyperbolic embellishment. ...


I.e., for purposes of the Georgia election, Trump is telling Raffensberger: I don't need to go nuclear just for this; this can be handled in terms of traditional election fraud. But that's no promise that Trump will not, when the time is right, shake up the whole world.


Taken all together, these words appear most likely to allude to what I have written about before: that the U.S. government has had the means to be electronically tracking, the entire time, much of what went into manipulating the Georgia vote.


Dyer then ties that Georgia angle in to Trump's Executive Order:


We also know that Trump put out his Executive Order 13848 a year earlier, in September 2018. That’s the instrument that justifies using national security intelligence and law enforcement means to monitor and counter threats to U.S. elections.

After hearing Trump’s side of the discussion with Raffensperger, I have even greater confidence that U.S. agencies had everything they needed to track what was being done with the Georgia implementation of Dominion infrastructure.  The initial justification for pursuing it as a national security matter could have been based on something like the analysis done for Creative Destruction Media, which asserts with obvious confidence that foreign parties were involved. ... 


"Something like." In other words, Trump isn't winging it based on media reports--he has his own very reliable sources within the national security organs:


...  It means there was an actionable reality of impending foreign interference, which we the public see in hindsight through the Creative Destruction piece, but which the Trump administration could have seen through the means of national intelligence – at the time it was happening.

Trump talks like someone who is very confident of what he knows. He’s not afraid he might be wrong.


Nor does Trump talk like someone who thinks he'll be leaving the White House any time soon.

Dyer next turns to the sheer scope of what she believes is going on:


This raises the obvious question why the administration would choose to monitor the sequence of events, probably from sometime in 2019, and let it play out in the actions of those involved, rather than stopping it in its tracks somewhere.

My guess: because of the sheer scope of what was being done, and the problem that merely taking down one part of it would leave too much of it intact, hedged about with lawyers and money and the support of foreign governments, and waiting to try again.

No single tool or discipline of government could vanquish the source of this truly existential threat to America. It’s crime but also war, requiring law, political will, and suasion, but also intelligence and foreign policy, to deal with effectively. (If I’m right, I suspect Trump’s national security approach hasn’t been limited to intelligence, or considering defensive military preparations. He has probably been making agreements with select foreign counterparts for forms of mutual support at need, knowing that the blowback from rolling up an all-out, transnational effort to interfere in our election could affect multiple nations. That’s a marker for potential future development; there’s no room or time to go into it here.)


And this would explain why events seem to be developing slowly--read the article for much more on those events, many of which have made barely a ripple in the MSM. Dyer moves on to the Main Enemy:


If I were betting, it would be that Trump foresees a need to be ready to counter China in multiple dimensions, and soon. ...

...

Preparing for what China is trying to do or going to do is on a continuum with seeking to expose the truth about vote-tampering in the U.S. election.  It’s all part of the same problem. If the only way readers can visualize that is to think about the ties between China and the Biden family, then by all means, factor those in.  They matter.

But for the Chinese Communists, cultivating the Bidens is just one in a set of supporting efforts in their overall campaign to deflate and paralyze America.  Given China’s penchant for hacking  and becoming cyber-embedded in infrastructure, we can take it to the bank that the CCP was involved in the vote-tampering in 2020. Analysts without access to national intelligence can only make deductions, if often good ones, about how and where. But if we as a nation were using the intelligence capabilities we have, under the authority Trump very pointedly conferred in 2018, we should actually know.

...

Trump is obviously not just in caretaker mode with the military maneuvers at the end of his term. ...

...

And I suspect it’s not unrelated to what’s happening with the 2020 election and the presidential election inside the United States.  It’s a virtual certainty that Beijing is invested in the prospect of a Biden administration, and may not just sit still for an alternative ending to our protracted, sometimes surreal and even absurd election drama.

...

... The virus may well have emerged without malign, specific intent, but the collaborative lying about it, by both China and the World Health Organization, could not possibly have done so.


And, having sketched out China's role--and again, there's much more in the full article--Dyer turns to the even bigger picture, if you can imagine that. She ropes in the Globalist actors that we have also been concerned with, painting a harrowing picture of the forces assembled against Trump, both at home and abroad:


Nor could the violence in American cities have erupted spontaneously, especially in light of the prior indications police departments in New York had, months before George Floyd’s death, that preparations for such violence were being made.

The problems with the U.S. election are part of a larger campaign being waged against our nation. In dealing with the vote-tampering during the election, Trump has to be mindful of everyone who was invested in it. It would be laughably inadequate at this point to imagine that the sole investors were in our Democratic Party. I doubt that the main investor is even China. It’s more likely to be a consortium of the dark-money donors who frequent Davos, Aspen, and other watering-holes, along with fixtures on the international “civil society” circuit who are mostly current or former – very senior – government officials, and now decorate think-tanks and boards of directors.

The same hands can be detected behind the Russiagate hoax, Spygate, and the escalated campaign against America mounted in 2020. My perception of what Trump has in view is that he is not trying to simply right the wrong done by vote-tampering in our 2020 election. He’s going for the center of gravity of a dispersed and hydra-headed opponent: a combination of the “Deep State,” dark-money donors, and China (and a few other foreign governments, or at least foreign Deep States). ...

The 2020 election is effectively one of the battlefields in a larger war that has to be waged as a whole. It has required its own campaign, and we’re starting to see the fruit, I believe, of the key supporting effort: the use of national intelligence means to track and catch the perpetrators and the crimes.


If true, we could be seeing some truly dramatic events in the next couple of weeks--even January 6 may not be the solid deadline the dominant narrative would have us believe it is. Obviously I can't possibly know, but Dyer's narrative is perhaps the most compelling alternative that I'm aware of.

  1. Was just on my over here from Liberty Unyielding to comment on this only to see you beat me to it. Very interesting analysis connecting some otherwise outlying dots. Makes a lot of sense regarding some recent ChiCom moves. Also has reasonable explanations for why some players are turning the white-noise up to 11 while others are AWOL.

    Yesterday one of my children had their orders to RoK bumped up ten days to the first week of Feb. Wondered why, since Joe has expressed nothing but a deep desire to go steady with the CCP. Maybe Xi intends to have more than just a massage with a happy ending.

    If the ChiCom's are a major player in this they are not just going to walk away from their investment. Other players might try to fade back and wait for a more opportune time if called out, but the CCP will make as much as they can and call it lemonade.

    1. We don't fully geasp just hiw desperate the CCP is right now. We have been sold a bag of hooey by their propaganda tools to believe that they are an economic juggernaut, an unstoppable force. They have been severely battered by Trump for 3 years and they Must. Get. Him. Out. Now.

      The CCP is extremely clever. They have a plan behind the plan. Behind the cyberwar on our election, they are investing in maximum chaos in the US to tie up the US military while the PLA seizes key objectives to secure their perimeter. Biden can be counted on to acquiesce. Trump, definitely not.

      Prayers for your son/daughter going to SoKo. May get hot.

  4. On Twitter J. B. White has a long thread where he discusses Dyer's article and expands on it with his own analysis.

    He's provided a lot of food for thought in his other recent threads (December 17th, 22nd, 23rd, Christmas day, 28th and 30th).

    I hope he (and Dyer) are correct! (If it were anyone other than DJT I would have completely given up hope by now. Of course any other past Republican candidate would have too.)

    For better or for worse, the next few days and weeks will definitely be historic.

Ms. Dyer noted that the octopus at war with DJT is so broad and plugged into his own party, that it isn't just a matter of having Barr's DOJ sue it, and that he is engaged in real warfare.

    2. Good read.

      He does mention “[DOJ monitors] jurisdictions in the field on election day, and is again doing so this year" especially battleground counties such as
      Fulton County, Georgia? Check.
      Maricopa County, Arizona? Check.
      Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania? Check.
      City of Detroit, Michigan? Check.
      City of Milwaukee, Wisconsin? Check.

      It begs the question what was Barr doing, with his statements about no fraud, and why his resignation? Smokescreen?

    4. Still puzzled by Barr’s assertion of seeing no fraud that would change outcome of election. Not convinced he was simply a process guy. Pompeo includes him in NY DAY series of tweets. But can’t figure out what he was really up to. Thoughts?

      Agree that letting this string out so long raises the stakes exponentially and complicates the politics. There is no way this ends on a happy note. Thinking again of that great hymn: once to every man and nation comes a moment to decide. AMEN.

  5. Everything you laid out is plausible but I don't understand why Trump would let things run right up to Wednesday's Congressional certification or beyond. At some point there is no way to overturn the fraud without acting in a way that many Americans will see as dictatorial. I accept the premise that we are already as polarized as possible, but this nuclear option would take it to another level. It would (in my opinion) boil down to competing segments of the military battling to drag Trump out or keep him in. And it will destroy even more relationships than the outcome in 2016. My heart is heavy

      I'd look at it the other way around. How else could Trump proceed? He absolutely could not take any military action until the public saw that every, other, possible alternative had been tried. He is trying to bring along the American people to see what he sees-- that the state officials in these 5 or 6 states are corrupt, the legislatures are corrupt and or cowards, the state courts are same, and even the federal courts right up to SCOTUS are useless. The final hoop to jump is Congress. Assuming they fail as well, he will have tried all measures short of military. And Trump voters, 70 million or more,have seen it.

      I don't know how Trump will do the big reveal but, based on his expert use of it in his TV career (is this guy prepared for the moment or what???), he will lay out the entire, declassified ugly truth to Americans as he announces what he is doing to thwarg the coup and reclaim our republic. Heck, it's possible that Lin Wood is part of the info op, putting out incredible claims because what the President will actually reveal will be so horrific that the public needs some advance prep work a la Wood.

      I agree, alot of relationships will be destroyed like in 1861 and 1776. But we will get through this fourth turning better and stronger and with a racial healing that will finally unite us as an unstoppable political majority for years to come.

    3. McCoy: I see your point and I think another factor is that Trump did not want to lay out the cards too early for fear that it would give his enemies more time to mobilize a counterattack, and dilute the message via MSM. That said, I just don't know how the military option would work in today's day and age. It's not just a battle between rag tag militias and regiments of redcoats. There are probably many regular US servicemembers who see the rot and support the President but they are sworn to follow the chain of command. Trump may have put in some new leadership at the top, but I'm sure the officer corp is still filled with some deep state types. And where is the battlefield? If we are trying to settle the issue of who has legitimate control of the country it's not just a matter of physically occupying the White House. It's the whole of government that must agree to the outcome.

    4. I have been wondering why Trump created yet another military branch, the Space Force. Could it be instead a Cyberspace force?


      I think one reason US ended up with so many intelligence agencies, with overlapping missions, is because some past presidents found it much easier to add their loyal group, rather than trying to change an existing one.

  6. I know you're probably avoiding discussing Lin Wood and I won't be upset if you choose not to show this. But...

    Could it be possible that he is taking factual information, which has been spun as conspiracy for years, and taunting Twitter to shut him down so he has grounds to sue? SO they're trying to spin him as having a breakdown and not deleting him to prevent the lawsuit?

    If Lin can prove those comments are factual, how could he really prove it without a lawsuit and a judge/jury? He won't win in the court of public opinion alone. The DS government isn't going to charge anyone, or pursue it.

    I mean really, if you had that type of breakdown and just started going off like Lin on the internet (or your blog even), wouldn't someone in your family circle get you to stop destroying yourself?

    I don't think its part of the election fraud effort as much as its setting the pieces for a longer protracted battle on the truth.

  8. Looks like the psyop tools that have been used to bring democracy to other countries, were used against the US this time.

     

    Trump is wise to do everything possible according to book, before spilling the guts of the deep state out into the open, and exposing these tools and operations. It would be a mega earthquake shaking the entire world affecting all those countries that went through coups and color revolutions since at least WWII.

     

    I believe this is the Kraken and it has already been released by Sydney Powell, after she was set loose by excluding her from the legal team.

     

    I pray for Trump's well being, because he might have cornered the deep state which has powerful allies, like a hydra with many heads.

  9. I will just say it- Trump has lost. I desperately want all of this discussed in the post to be true, but I know at this point that it is not- it just fantasy. The Democrats stuffed the ballot box with the full cooperation of the GOP- the deal was to not cheat as much down ballot and let the Republicans win the Senate, but the Democrats will have broken that agreement tonight when they win both runoffs by healthy margins.

    Sorry- it is over. Tomorrow, there will be fewer than 10 Senators who vote to uphold the challenges, and there might well be only 3.

    1. As I said, Dyer offers an alternative that is compelling on its terms. That doesn't mean I disagree with you. What puzzles me most and gives me most pause is Trump's positive attitude.

    2. I believe firmly in this : Trump is a Master Persuader. I prefer to view all this through that lens. In other words, in the situation Trump is in, what would a person who is POTUS and who is a Master Persuader do? I don't know , but I do know he would do things that I would not have thought of or would not occur to me to be effective, because I am not a Master Persuader.

  10. My concern is, and I've said this a few times, Trump's is known for playing poker with a pair of twos like he's holding a flush. The Art Of Winning aka never admit to being beat or wrong, just keep hammering it.

    I think everyone is looking at his projection and trying to read it as "he has something up his sleeve"... More accurately, that's just Trump being Trump.

    We're rationalizing loss IMHO because we are completely dumbfounded at the events of improbability between the DOJ, courts, local, state and federal all falling into what were certain is a sham. The scope is almost fictional it's so compellingly bad and no one wants to believe it.

    I say quite simply, it's THAT BAD but in the over all scheme of the past century, it's small potatoes. The enemies are just comfortable enough to say the quiet parts out loud these days.

    2. @ Kirk

      It's easy to remember the wins but harder for the losses I think.

      An example to me would be the 2019 shutdown over border all funding. Granted, he played cards like a mad man, took a stop gap but in the end surrendered. I'm not saying that was his fault, he found wall funding elsewhere but the showdown over the budget didn't come as he expected.

      Longest shutdown in US history but if it had been me, we would still be closed.

      Ironically... The commission on voting fraud was another.

      All opinion of course, but I saw them as high stakes poker.

  11. Up to a point, I agree with all of the skeptical and downright defeated commenters above. It is a very steep climb. Despite his comment on the phone call to Raffensberger, 5he only way he could prevail is indeed TO SHAKE UP THE WHOLE WORLD. He will have to show the involvement of China, and probably also some friendly western allies. It will be all out pandemonium. He seems to have Defense, at least at the very top, with Miller and Patel, and he has Watnick-Cohen installed as the head of declassification. He seems also to have State, and maybe Treasury? The stakes could not be higher.

    Like Mark, I hope—and pray.

    1. He seems also to have State, at least in terms of Pompeo, who still stands by his confidence that DJT will win this, and who (as ex-CIA) likely know a ton on how DJT's bids for huge declass etc. are going.
      If Pompeo wavers, that'll likely say that DJT is done.

      Similar with Pence, who DJT praised yesterday in GA, saying that he hoped for something from the Veep on Wed.
      I'll guess that on possible move is, for Pence on Wed. to precede his opening EV envelopes. with a speech detailing huge evidence of vote-counting fraud.
      What if such a speech lasted "forever"?
      What if, retaining the gavel, Pence ignored Dem requests for the floor, instead only recognizing Hawley etc.?
      The Dems could walk out, and whine to the courts, but with what effect?

  12. It seems plausible to me that Trump's approach up until now has been low-key to counter the battlefield prep the enemies did before the election to paint the scenario that Trump would call in the military as a response to losing the election. He could very well be going to great lengths of restraint and holding his fire so that when he does finally "shake up the world" it will be far more apparent that he is not the cause of the shakeup, the overweening cabal is the cause.

  13. Nobody outside of Trump’s circle knows what is going on—with the possible exception of some of the DS miscreants. Yancy may well be right. Lord knows I’ve lapsed into pessimism from time to time myself. On the other hand, many of the things that have happened in the past two months make zero sense if Trump is just blustering. Why the DoD moves? What would be the point of dragging this all out if he did not have the goods? Just to trash the GOPe in order to position himself as the leader of a new political party? Possibly. As noted, Trump does not sound like somebody who feels he has been defeated. As a matter of fact on the call with Raffensperger he sounded like an executive who was full of piss and vinegar and wanted to cut to the chase—cutting off BS answers from the GA SoS and even cutting off Meadows and Cleta Mitchell when they took the discussion sideways.

    I guess we’ll all learn soon enough what the real deal is. I had been planning on flying across the country to be there for tomorrow’s action, but ended up with family obligations. If something momentous happens I will lament having missed being present—unless, of course, the momentous event ends up being Antifa/BLM violent jerks run amok.

  14. JT Wilde's Beautiful Black Sky lyrics (inspired by Gen. Flynn):

    Sometimes a Storm is needed
    To clean out all of the snakes
    When the warning is not heeded
    And there is nothing left to take...

    What a beautiful black sky
    Un-Covering their lies
    sweet revenge takes time
    But, Where do you draw the line
    Nothing can stop it
    It’s on the way
    We gave you warnings
    As clear as day
    Such a beautiful black sky

    the snakes are not that cunning
    And not as deadly as you'd think
    And we are no longer running
    Yeah we're hunting down the freaks

    What a beautiful black sky
    Un-Covering the lies
    sweet revenge takes time
    Where do you draw the line
    Nothing can stop it
    It’s on the way
    We gave you warnings
    As clear as day
    Such a beautiful black sky

    We can take them down
    In every city & town
    The storm is coming now
    They won't hear a sound

    What a beautiful black sky
    Un-Covering all the lies
    sweet revenge takes time
    We've finally drawn the line

    Nothing can stop it
    It’s on the way
    We gave you warnings
    As clear as day
    What a beautiful black sky
    Such a beautiful black sky
