A Coup Just Occurred: DHS Took Over US Elections (January 6th, 2017)

[Hervé]

This is a coup: the Homeland Security takeover of US elections

by Jon Rappoport Jan8, 2017

On a scale of importance from 1 to 10, with 10 being the most important, this breaking development is a 500.

On Friday, the traditional day of the week for quietly releasing big news that will hopefully be ignored by the public—and also obscured by the Fort Lauderdale Airport shooting—the chief of Homeland Security announced that his office will be taking over US elections.

If you can’t see the coup in progress, you need to keep looking until the message comes through.

Read carefully—ABC News reports. My comments are in brackets:

“Citing increasingly sophisticated cyber bad actors and an election infrastructure that’s ‘vital to our national interests’, Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson announced Friday that he’s designating U.S. election systems critical infrastructure…”

[Also known as: “we’re taking over.”]

“’Given the vital role elections play in this country, it is clear that certain systems and assets of election infrastructure meet the definition of critical infrastructure, in fact and in law’,” Johnson said in a statement. He added: ‘Particularly in these times, this designation is simply the right and obvious thing to do’.”

[Also known as: “we’re taking over.”]

“The determination came after months of review and despite opposition from many states worried that the designation would lead to increased federal regulation or oversight on the many decentralized and locally run voting systems across the country. It was announced on the same day a declassified U.S. intelligence report said Russian President Vladimir Putin ‘ordered’ an influence campaign in 2016 aimed at the U.S. presidential election.”

[Also known as: “we needed an excuse, a fake cover story for our takeover, and Russia is it.”]

“Such a change [in who controls the US election process] does not require presidential action [or Congressional approval], and only requires the secretary [of DHS] to first consult with the assistant to the president for homeland security and counterterrorism.”

[Also known as: “this is a coup by the White House.”]

“Johnson said election infrastructure included storage facilities, polling places and vote tabulation locations, plus technology involved in the process, including voter registration databases, voting machines and other systems used to manage the election process and report and display results.”

[Also known as: “We’re taking over every significant aspect of the national election process.”]

“The designation [of US elections as critical infrastructure] allows for information to be withheld from the public when state, local and private partners meet to discuss election infrastructure security — potentially injecting secrecy into an election process that’s traditionally and expressly a transparent process. U.S. officials say such closed door conversations allow for frank discussion that would prevent bad actors from learning about vulnerabilities. DHS would also be able to grant security clearances when appropriate and provide more detailed threat information to states.”

[Also known as: “we can intercede in the election process and determine its outcome without any need to pretend we’re being transparent; only people we approve will know the details of how we run elections; secrecy works.”]

“The Obama administration has proposed international cyber rules for peacetime that would expressly note that countries shouldn’t conduct online activity targeting critical [US] infrastructure, which will now also include election systems.”

[Also known as: “in case there is any doubt, elections systems in America will be property of the federal Executive Branch.”]

This is a coup.

This is equivalent to declaring a national state of emergency, including martial law: the DHS, if it deemed it necessary, could utilize armed agents to enforce the new directive and take over states’ offices that resist.

Election-processes belong to the states. But not anymore.

And of course, with this awesome new power, the DHS could intercede, behind the scenes, in the voting process and rig elections.

There is an additional aligned factor at work in this op: the proposed elimination of the Electoral College—yet another measure designed to “federalize” the election process.

Most people are entirely ignorant of the fact that the Constitution was a pact among states. With reluctance, the independent states agreed to relinquish certain specified powers to the newly created central government, while retaining all other powers.

The Electoral College was, therefore, a natural invention, because the states would maintain crucial influence in determining the outcome of presidential elections. State Electors would cast their presidential votes based on which candidate won in their state.

Eliminating the Electoral College now would add one more layer of federal control over the whole country, and take control from the states. More centralization.

Imagine it. Only the popular vote counts. The states are dumped. And on top of it all, the Dept. of Homeland Security has the power to run the election process as a piece of “critical infrastructure.”

Rigging the vote in New York and California, plus a few other populous states, would decide the election. And in time, no one would think about “New York” or “California” as separate entities—because they wouldn’t be. They would just be “more land and people” that are part of “wholly unified” America.

This is perfect for the “unity politicians” who spout empty rhetoric every chance they get—“we’re all in this together.” As I tirelessly point out, such slogans are nothing less than covert ops, and their goal is roping in as many dullards as possible under a messianic banner of A Better Life for All under a Beneficent Government.

Also known as: we the rulers decree, you the people submit; your survival depends on us; we give and take as we will, and that shall be the whole of the law.

Eventually, why have presidential elections at all? Just allow the DHS to determine which candidate will best serve the needs and desires of the controllers.

It’s cleaner, simpler, and more direct.

It’s a coup.

Will Trump cancel it?

Obama is basically challenging him to do it—which would create one more firestorm in the press directed at Trump.

“See, the new president just stopped the DHS from protecting our sacred free elections. Trump is exhibiting more treasonous cooperation with his Russian masters…he’s leaving the door wide open for their secret invasion against our liberties…”

The timeline is clear:

One: Hillary will surely win the election.

Two: Trump won the election.

Three: Trump won because Russia “hacked the election” in his favor.

Four: We must protect our national election process from foreign hacking.

Five: Homeland Security must put itself in charge of national elections.

Stay tuned.

A coup just occurred.

This Move is key to overturn the Trump election. With the inauguration only 13 days out this is Obama's final move.

Inauguration day is right around the corner. With the fur flying already, it will certainly be interesting at least to see what kind of ****show they have in store for our bread and circus.

I have looked for other sources of news to substantiate Jones' claim and can't find any.

[sheme]

Perhaps they don't want the American people to know?

[WhiteLove]

Hmm... Has the source of this been validated?!

[lucidity]

Is this fake news ?

Here is Joe Biden administering the certification of Electoral College votes:

My understanding is that this confirms that Trump will be inaugurated.
So presumably, even if this supposed 'coup' is true, something else significant
needs to happen to stop Trump taking the presidency.

As I wrote here (<---):

================================================== ===

“US Data since 1895 Fail to Show Warming Trend.”

What a perfect news-speak... since that time, NOAA got busy to ensure that the data were "successful" in showing a temperature increase... by fudging said data and their trends. [the subliminal here is that the "warming trend" is real... it's just that the data are wrong in not being up to showing it]

In the end, like with 911, Iraq, Libya, MH17, Syria, etc... laws, legislations, regulations have been passed along with arms deals struck so that it doesn't matter anymore whether the propagandized events were hoaxes or false flags since their expected yields in laws, legislations, regulations, economic sanctions, profits, etc., have been harvested...

... and the complaints, dissents and counter arguments will get buried with the generations which suffered them as well as under the "new" news; much like troll work on social media.

Remember, TPTW works generations in advance - much like Native American projecting current actions into the future 7 generations to evaluate whether or not it's a good thing - so that current events have been planned a few centuries back... and they usually are not so knuckle-headed as to send transport troupes prior to establishing a beach head... their actions are not event driven like ours... theirs are sequence driven.

[norman]

They must be planning another election very soon.

This may help AutumnW. Here’s some more info on this power grab that I posted on my FB page for friends and relatives yesterday, including a few references to MSM outlets and the Department of Homeland Security itself. As you can see from some of the older links, this power grab has been in the works for months and is surely not over.

Associated Press: “State Election Systems to get More Federal Aid for Security” (Jan. 7, 2017)

ZeroHedge: “In Stunning Last Minute Power Grab, Obama Designates Election Systems As "Critical Infrastructure"” (Jan. 6, 2017)

DownTrend: “Obama Just Federalized U.S. Elections By Authorizing Homeland Security Control” (January 7, 2017)

DHS: Statement by Secretary Jeh Johnson on the Designation of Election Infrastructure as a Critical Infrastructure Subsector (January 6, 2017)
Yes, Secretary Johnson uses nice, fluffy, feel-good language in his statements, but if you’ve been paying attention to what has been going on at all over the last 20 years or more, you should know that this is just another carrot they dangle before putting the noose around the horse’s neck.

Washington Examiner: “Homeland eyes special declaration to take charge of elections” (8/30/2016)

Politico: “Elections security: Federal help or power grab?” (8/28/16)

[Baby Steps]

categorize electoral process as 'key infrastructure' .....

subsequently reveal 'evidence' of attack on that infrastructure.....

suddenly you have, in law, a manufactured act of war against the united states

the President will be unable to avoid the pressure to take action.

nice gambit, hope Trump can portray inaction in the face of a provocation as STRENGTH, which is what it will be

This power grab is not about stopping Trump's [s]election and occupancy of the Whitehouse this time around, a bullet, bomb or something else may do that; this is about the next national selection process. And, it can be, and probably will be, invoked not just for the pResidential selection but also for Congressional selections. But why stop there? What about gubernatorial elections at the State level?

If this report is accurate, this power grab must be stopped in no uncertain terms. But I'm not convinced that stopping this will come from the top down. Where does that leave things?

[shaberon]

I'm having a hard time seeing it.

There's not an "equivalent" to a national emergency, and with martial law, the president did wind up with that power for about a year, but congress revoked it, and he can only do so on an individual basis per requests by a state governor.

Ok, so cyberstructure lands in the same category as dams and nuclear waste: a priority in the National Infrastructure Protection Plan.

[Olaf]

This is my question:

Can Obama declare war against Russia, if

a) "election infrastructure meet the definition of critical infrastructure, in fact and in law" (Johnson)
b) any real or feigned thread against election infrastructure is regarded as a terrorist act, which can be answered by war

Can anybody answer this question in regard to current American law?

Also I want to point at this news:
"US sends 3,600 tanks against Russia – Massive NATO deployment ..."
Currently the first 250 tanks have arrived at Bremen port and they are driven through Germany to Poland.

[Eram]

I think that this move is first and foremost meant as an insurance policy to avoid another "outsider" will ever succeed to become president of the United States.

So, not so worried that there will be an attempt to deny Trump this presidency. They know full well that it will lead to civil war if they do that and these people like stability in their own back yards.

It is the future that they are aiming for with this move and in the mean time, they will remain focused on clipping Trump's wings and making him as powerless as possible to enforce real necessary change (for which they still hold most aces up their sleeves).

This is my question:

Can Obama declare war against Russia, if

No. Congress makes declarations of war. So, the Vietnam action was not a war. Many thousands of casualties inflicted elsewhere, were not war. It gets nonsensical, because dead is dead no matter what the reason, and the perpetrators of these acts are unlikely to ever be brought to justice. On the bright side, Kissinger is really old, so is David Rockefeller who has no clear sympathizing heir...those guys have more or less been our State Department for decades.

The election stuff, which only comes around occasionally, is perhaps less of a tipping point than the cyberstructure controlling the power grid, which is perpetually vulnerable to any hacking. I'm not sure right offhand what the president may be "authorized" to do, in case some "advisor" decides to say something like well...Brazil hacked our power grid but we know it was GRU agents acting there...not sure how that scenario would unfold.

Interesting to see Poland offering its land for the German-colluded stampede. I get the impression most of those vehicles would be fairly worthless against modern Russian weaponry.

Shaberon is correct. In a strict, technical legal sense no US president can "declare" war. Only Congress can constitutionally do that. The president can, however, and many presidents have, gotten the US into war and then Congress may have thereafter declared war. But since WWII no "war" the US has been involved in was declared by Congress to be a war. Rather unconstitutional federal legislation such as the War Powers Act have been passed to allow the president to wage undeclared war(s) indefinitely. Hence, Congress has unconstitutionally abrogated its constitutional power to the Executive and the Executive has unconstitutionally grabbed power from Congress.

[amor]

The crux of this claim that Russia hacked the election is that in order for them to have done so, the election process would have to have been on the open Internet. Yet we were told the election machinery was NOT on the internet. If there was interference, it appears it was HOMELAND SECURITY who did it. A takeover of the States' fundamental rights is a Treason against the People. Outlaw Homeland Security; it is more an enemy, it would appear, than Russia. The real enemy is The City in London, Rothschilds and their 12 other ruling families, who need to PROFIT from war and KILL BILLIONS OF SOULS which will be harvested by the Aliens in whose employ they are.
