Timeline of U.S. Political Transformation, 8

§8. Trial and Error, Jan - Dec 2019

May 29, 2022

While a deadly pandemic terrified the American populace, State Governors quietly changed election rules, to vastly expand mail-in balloting, allow ballot harvesting and trafficking, loosen voting qualifications, increase the numbers of purported absentee voters, enable 'black-box' computerized vote tabulation and compilation, and extend deadlines for compiling final vote-counts.

The sequence of actions and events, policies and programs that transformed the United States from a free society into one lacking the Constitutionally required ‘consent of the governed’. How this gap in governance is increasingly filled by force and violence, livelihood threats, mass surveillance, centralized control of messaging, censorship, distraction, and miscounting of electoral results. Updated by inserting facts often revealed years after the event into the record when they actually took place.

It has even led to the development of new vaccines and the stockpiling of vaccines, and major legislation has resulted.’ || Source

March 25, 2019: Brennan says 'Well, I don’t know if I received bad information but I suspected there was more than there actually was.

April 18, 2019: Mueller releases 448-page report, finds no Trump-Russia collusion: 'the evidence was not sufficient to charge that any member of the Trump Campaign conspired with representatives of the Russian government to interfere in the 2016 election.' Report states unequivocally: 'Beginning in March 2016, units of the Russian Federation’s Main Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff (GRU) hacked the computers and email accounts of organizations, employees, and volunteers supporting the Clinton Campaign, including the email account of campaign chairman John Podesta. Starting in April 2016, the GRU hacked into the computer networks of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) and the Democratic National Committee (DNC).' Proof that the DNC emails in Wikileaks' possession did NOT come from Russia, as promised by Julian Assange's Aug 2017 statement to Rep Dana Rohrbacker, would contradict the Mueller report's assertions.

Zelensky responds 'we are hoping very much that Mr Giuliani will be able to travel to Ukraine and we will meet once he comes to Ukraine', implying that he does not trust DOJ. Trump then describes Giuliani as 'highly respected' and 'very capable', adding 'There's a lot of talk about Biden's son, that Biden stopped the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that so whatever you can do with the Attorney General would be great. Biden went around bragging that he stopped the prosecution so if you can look into it … It sounds horrible to me.'

Since Ciaramella had not directly heard either of the Trump-Zelensky calls, his knowledge came either from Lt Col Alexander Vindman, who was permitted to listen-in on the calls, or a wiretap.

In the 'simulation', a novel pathogen called 'coronavirus acute pulmonary syndrome (CAPS)' causes the deaths of 65 million people and economic devastation around the world. On the basis of these projections from a Gates-financed modeling organization, organizers call for governments and health-sector companies to prepare for a pandemic through greater 'public-private cooperation'.

Report says the disease 'is changing patterns of life in China and posing a threat to U.S. forces in Asia'. DIA, Joint Chiefs of Staff, and White House staff are briefed multiple times. DOD Sec Esper denies existence of report, probably because knowledge of a disease outbreak in China is not available to anyone outside China.
