Roger Stone: 2022 election was the first 'wholly manufactured' election in US history

Legendary political operative and Trump adviser says the only explanation for Tuesday's election results is an 'election-hacking operation' run by the Dems and CIA

Roger Stone, the indefatigable Republican political consultant and longtime adviser and friend to Donald Trump, wrote an op-ed for The Gateway Pundit on Wednesday that every American should read.

In the piece, Stone says Tuesday’s election results point to “direct black box voting manipulation” of the vote totals — with “black box” referring to machines with inner workings that are unknowable.

The black box manipulation, he writes, appears to have been “at the level of final tabulations being perpetrated on a scale that renders typical ballot and voter fraud schemes unnecessary anachronisms…”

In other words, this is not your grandfather’s voter fraud.

This is not casting two ballots — one from your primary residence and one from your Florida home — or voting a dead person’s ballot, or a nursing home worker filling out an Alzheimer’s patient’s ballot.

What he’s talking about is large-scale cheating using computers to manipulate vote totals to take a win away from one candidate and give it to another.

Here’s the first line of Stone’s op-ed:

“I seriously feel like we are watching the first wholly manufactured election in our history, in which all of the key competitive races have had the results directly programmed by the cabal.”

He describes the environment in which this week’s election was held:

“The most crushing economic conditions, rampant crime, reckless foreign/nuclear war flirtations, and the most aggressive perverse assaults on family and parental rights in history, all topped off by an embarrassing unpopular disaster in the White House leading a shrill, tin-eared bellicose fascist junta that appears indifferent to the ordeal they are inflicting on working people…and yet the Democrat monolith is barely dented.”

Stone goes on to say that there are really only two explanations for Tuesday’s results — either that too many Americans are too stupid to understand the damage they’re doing by voting for the same people responsible for country’s slide … or there is something bigger going on — a “master election hacking operation” run by the intelligence community (CIA, NSA, FBI, etc.) and the Democratic Party, which Stone refers to as the “Democratic Crime Syndicate.”

“Either the country has large states filled with brainwashed zealots who are too stupid and mindless to comprehend the reality of the collective damage they are ratifying with their votes for at best lackluster at worst appallingly deficient if not retarded candidates….or we are seeing direct black box voting manipulation at the level of final tabulations being perpetrated on a scale that renders typical ballot and voter fraud schemes unnecessary anachronisms as the decisive votes that have now kept the ruling junta largely intact, or at most just a hair from having an operating majority, are literal fabrications piled onto Democrat vote totals by a few keystrokes entered in some master election hacking operation run by IC criminals in league with and part of the Democrat Crime Syndicate.”

Stone referred to the work of Mike Lindell, who over the last two years has given a platform to experts who’ve laid out evidence that the vote totals for 2020 were tampered with electronically by off-site hackers.

Stone referred specifically to the U.S. Senate race in Pennsylvania, in which stroke victim John Fetterman was declared the winner over Dr. Mehmet Oz, 50.9% to 46.7%.

“The experts Mike Lindell brought together have been quite explicit and factually well-supported in laying out how the fraud goes far deeper and is far more comprehensive than any sort of ham-handed ballot harvesting, ballot box stuffing or illegal voting schemes on the ground. I mean, Festerman’s supposed win is beyond any rational explanation and defies every known political and electoral principle and truism that we have seen hold firm throughout our entire history…”

There’s only one explanation, Stone says:

“Direct, surreptitious, totally undetectable, untraceable digital alteration of final tabulation numbers, obviating any need for any physical interventions or tampering of any kind, are the only viable option to repel and nullify the sheer popular electoral force of a such a galvanizing wave election as this one had been building up to, by nearly all empirical indications, God save us.”

Roger Stone is the smartest person working in American politics and has been for more than 40 years.

He long ago embraced the moniker “dirty trickster” and delights in saying of his enemies: “I revel in your hatred…”

But he usually adds, and this is key: “because if I weren’t effective, you wouldn’t hate me.”

I met Roger in South Florida in late 2015 or early 2016 at a Libertarian meeting and was astonished to hear him say of then-candidate Donald Trump that there was no campaign to speak of: The entire presidential campaign was just Trump going around the country doing rallies. There were just a handful of staffers. There was no constellation of campaign offices spread over the country. There was nothing, really — just Trump.

Roger had been forced out of the campaign a couple of months earlier after butting heads with Corey Lewandowski — which must have been hard for him given that Lewandowski’s win record in politics was very thin and that he was best known for managing the losing re-election campaign of U.S. Sen. Bob Smith (R-NH) in 2002. He’d lost the only major political campaign he’d ever managed.

Roger had been a very big deal in national Republican politics since the early 1980s, when he and his lifelong friend, Paul Manafort (they grew up together in Connecticut) ran the hottest consulting/lobbying firm in D.C., called Black, Manafort, Stone and Kelly.

Roger Stone knew he wasn’t ever going to be a candidate himself. But he knew he could apply his talents to getting other people elected — people who were brilliant, courageous, charismatic, and would fight for the country.

And he knew how to pick a winner.

It was Roger who first asked Donald Trump to run for president in the 1980s. Trump told him he wasn’t ready yet, as Trump himself recounted to the producers of the 2017 documentary, “Get Me Roger Stone.”

Somehow, in the months after leaving the Trump campaign, Roger managed to write a stunning book about former President George H.W. Bush and his family, entitled, “Jeb! and the Bush Crime Family: The Inside Story of an American Dynasty.” It was published in mid-February of 2016, at the start of the primary season.

I read it from start to finish. It turned on its head everything I thought I knew about the Bush family. I’ll always remember what Roger wrote about Bush senior — that he was the only person in America who can’t say where he was when John F. Kennedy was shot in Dallas…the implication being that it was a CIA hit and Bush was working for the CIA and was somehow involved.

Fair? Maybe not. But it certainly did get my attention, and Roger may well be right.

But back to Roger’s op-ed in The Gateway Pundit…

It was Roger who was warning in the days leading up to the 2016 election that the Democrats were going to try to steal the election. Roger, in fact, had adopted the line “Stop the Steal” on the Alex Jones show, and was every day urging a massive turnout on Election Day to stop the Democrats from stealing the election.

The idea has been posited by more than a few people that the Democratic Party did try to steal the election in 2016, but that the turnout for Donald Trump was so enormous that it overwhelmed the algorithms.

The news reports of Hillary Clinton’s reaction to learning she’d lost — throwing lamps in a fury — seems to back this up. It was going to be close, that much was known. Why would she be so angry, unless she had been promised a win?

She never addressed the crowd of supporters at the Jacob Javits convention center in Manhattan that night, leaving it to John Podesta to go over and tell the thousands gathered there to go home.

Not give a concession speech? Why?

Again, it seems she was sure there was no possibility that one would be needed — no chance she could lose.

Following Trump’s historic win, Stone was pursued by the corrupt FBI’s so-called Russian collusion investigators, with CNN called to get into position to film in live time the pre-dawn raid on Stone’s home in Fort Lauderdale, Florida in 2019.

Stone came very close to doing prison time — for charges unrelated to Russian collusion but connected to the Russian collusion investigation, when there was, in the end, no Russian collusion after all.

He’s just now coming back up for air.

This op-ed he wrote, of “black box” manipulation of the votes in key states by the Democratic Party and the intelligence agencies, should be given the highest level of consideration given Roger’s 50 years of experience with American elections and given the considerable amount of evidence that this kind of large-scale manipulation has been possible for some time.

The term “black box” in reference to voting was used by a woman named Bev Harris, who founded an elections watchdog organization called Black Box Voting to call attention to what she’d found out about the Diebold voting machines after getting ahold of the machines’ source code in 2003 — that the machines can easily be hacked and election results changed on the central tally system.

It’s strange that any of this would be seen as conspiracy talk now in 2022, when Bev Harris’s findings in 2003 were covered by the New York Times, Associated Press, NBC News, NPR and by many other media outlets.

In 2006, a documentary about her work to expose the vulnerabilities of the Diebold machines, called “Hacking Democracy,” was released and was nominated for an Emmy.

The Diebold machines and the software they run on were all purchased in 2009 by voting machine company ES&S. In 2010, most of what had been Diebold was acquired from ES&S by Dominion Voting Systems. As Col. Phil Waldron, an expert in electronic warfare, explained during hearings in late 2020, as a result of these acquisitions and spin-offs, these voting systems all share a common software and common vulnerabilities.

In other words, the voting machine security problems that Bev Harris exposed in 2003 — and that the major media was happy to cover then — have not gone away, and are the same vulnerabilities that Lindell’s group and people like Col. Waldron have been highlighting for the past two years.

Voting machines and voting systems in America are still “black boxes” — and Roger Stone is right: The numbers that emerged from this black box system — the 2022 election results — are unbelievable, and point to something huge, something nefarious and something that must be fixed by whatever means necessary.
