Truth and common sense must be valued by us, as individuals, in order to lastingly disempower the authoritarian fake news media. This includes the perniciously smarmy science media, which never answers for its errors and lies.

*****************
Understanding the mass line.
The mass line was a political campaign style developed and used by Mao Zedong and the CCP in the People’s Republic of China. It’s a very common method for doing agitation and propaganda, as well as for driving radicalization ever since.
The name “mass line” suggests two possible meanings, and as it happens, the technique uses both. One is that the “mass line” is the line the masses are taking, and the other is that it’s the line being fed to the masses.
Here’s how it works.
The mass line begins by being extracted from the masses. Issues that are likely to agitate or incite them are determined by the propaganda office. The issues should be ones that are likely to invoke mass mobilization campaigns tapping a lot of negative, or sometimes positive, emotions (e.g., frustration, anger, fear, despair, or hope and enthusiasm).
These issues are then studied by the propaganda office to determine how they can be packaged, or codified, in terms of the party’s interests, ambitions, and interpretive frame.
These reframed inciting issues are then fed back to the masses in a mass line campaign, which runs reflexively to make it seem like it’s the current issue everyone is talking about and mobilizing around. The emotion under the mass line as it was extracted gets channeled into the mass line campaign as it benefits the party.
For example, the masses could be angry and frustrated that rents are too high and housing is unaffordable. The party would then recognize this reservoir of resentment in the people and would codify it by deciding it is caused by the landlords being too greedy and selfish. They would then feed this interpretation of the issue in a big-scale campaign back to the people with the goal of inciting and mobilizing them all at once. “Rents are too high because we have too many landlords who are greedy!”
The party will likely also package in a pre-determined solution pathway into the mass line because the point is often to get the people to demand the thing the party wants to do. They might add, “we need rent controls” or “we need state ownership of apartments.”
The mass line is then pushed with a vigorous campaign that makes it feel like the most important issue everyone is talking about, and one that has to be solved now, usually according to the line provided by the party. The masses are thereby mobilized to protest and demand what the party wanted in the first place. Their energy, which might be quite legitimate, is coopted to the party’s agenda.
That’s how the mass line works. Be on the lookout. We see them everywhere now.
PS:
For those who followed my explanations of Paulo Freire’s critical pedagogy, this is the same methodology applied to education, as Freire himself explains in Pedagogy of the Oppressed.
Gathering the mass line is finding the “generative themes,” which the educator then “codifies” and delivers back to the students in a “decodification” that interprets their circumstances for them to awaken critical consciousness and to inspire radical activism.
There are several different psychological methods used to manipulate the public. I think we have all heard of the Hegelian dialectic: Problem – Reaction – Solution. An excellent example is making schools ‘No Gun Zones’ via the Gun-Free School Zones Act of 1990. Followed by Facilitating school shootings and then scream we need to get rid of the 2nd Amendment Right to bear arms.
…since the days of Karl Marx and Frederick Engels it has been used as a guided process toward a desired end.
The objective of Hegelian dialectics in this sense is to replace something old with something new (e.g., capitalism with communism, traditional Bible doctrine with theological modernism, a traditional educational system based on moral absolutes with a new one based on relativism, an old age with a new).
Used like this, Hegelian dialectics cannot produce the new thing, but it can destroy the old. Other processes and techniques come into play in actually producing the new thing that is desired.
Hegelian dialectics is used today to create a “paradigm shift” by replacing an old “paradigm” (prevailing belief system) with a new one. It is a technique of “social evolution” and “political transcendence.”
It is not an innocent process. It is used by “change agents” and “facilitators of transformation.” Hegelian dialectics is “the framework for guiding our thoughts and actions into conflicts that lead us to a predetermined solution” (Niki Raapana and Nordica Friedrich, “What Is the Hegelian Dialectic?” October 2005, http://www.crossroad.to/articles2/05/dialectic.htm).
Speaking religiously and spiritually, it is an ever-evolving system that never arrives at absolute truth. All is relative and negotiable and the end justifies the means….
Another method we ran into during the Farm Wars was the Delphi Technique.
If you look that term up on Brave today the first three options you get:
In contrast with many other types of interviews and focus groups, Delphi studies allow participants to rethink and refine their opinions based on the input of others, contributing to a more reflective and thoughtful process.
The following key characteristics of the Delphi method help the participants to focus on the issues at hand and separate Delphi from other methodologies: in this technique a panel of experts is drawn from both inside and outside the organisation.
The Delphi technique is a systematic process of forecasting using the collective opinion of panel members. The structured method of developing consensus among panel members using Delphi methodology has gained acceptance in diverse fields of medicine. The Delphi methods assumed a pivotal role in the last few decades to develop best practice guidance using collective intelligence where research is limited, ethically/logistically difficult or evidence is conflicting….
TheDelphitechnique is an excellent consensus-building tool for complex project decisions that lack historical precedent or data. The Delphi method is a game-changing project management method to drive consensus and make complex decisions using an anonymous, and iterative approach by experts to provide input without influence from others…
The Delphi method (also called Wideband Delphi) was developed in the 1950s by the RAND Corporation as a forecasting methodology and named after the Greek Oracle of Delphi who foretold the future.
It is a structured, iterative process to solicit expert opinions and reach a consensus on complex problems or decisions which involves a facilitator sending multiple rounds of anonymous questionnaires to a panel of subject matter experts….
All nice glowing articles about the technique.
After reading that crap, I decide to make my notes from a couple decades ago available because the Delphi technique is not as innocent as those articles portray it. The key phrase is ‘CONSENSUS BUILDING’
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
A special thanks to Marty Oakley, John Munsell, Lynn Cohen-Cole, Walter Jeffries, Barb and the rest of the Farm War Warriors who taught me so much about the evil encroaching on our land.
The original issue that brought all of this to light was of course the absurdly inflated claims of danger to scientists. Just like AGW, its all done “for the cause.”
Reading about this “deliberative democracy” project is extremely disturbing….
This needs to be looked into. Who set this up, who paid for the “study”, who is behind this? Are there other “deliberative democracy” projects like this going on in any other countries?
Sounds like “manipulative democracy”, not “deliberative democracy.” Scary stuff indeed.
The basis of the Delphi Technique is to achieve consensus on controversial topics and requires professional facilitators, we are told….
More and more, we are seeing citizens being invited to “participate” in various forms of meetings, councils, or boards to “help determine” public policy in one field or another. They are supposedly being included to get ”input” from the public to help officials make final decisions on taxes, education, community growth or whatever the particular subject matter might be.
Sounds great, doesn’t it? Unfortunately, surface appearances are often deceiving.
You, Mr. or Mrs. Citizen, decide to take part in one of these meetings.
Generally, you will find that there is already someone designated to lead or “facilitate” the meeting. Supposedly, the job of the facilitator is to be a neutral, non-directing helper to see that the meeting flows smoothly.
Actually, he or she is there for exactly the opposite reason: to see that the conclusions reached during the meeting are in accord with a plan already decided upon by those who called the meeting.…
In her article USDA Employing Delphi Technique, Marti Oakley describes the opposition we face as we go to the USDA listening sessions. I faced a similar situation when I attended a county meeting to discuss our land being turned over to the local tribe, as well as water rights.
I recognize now that the technique used in that meeting to manipulate the people present was the Delphi Technique. Although not aware of it at the time, I did use the technique described in the following article to counter it. This response came naturally, and was probably due to my former peace officer training. Countering this technique is not difficult, and I recommend it.
Here is a link to an article that describes what the Delphi Technique is:
The Delphi Technique was originally conceived as a way to obtain the opinion of experts without necessarily bringing them together face to face. In recent times, however, it has taken on an all new meaning and purpose. In Educating for the New World Order by B. Eakman, the reader finds reference upon reference for the need to preserve the illusion that there is “…lay, or community, participation (in the decision-making process), while lay citizens were, in fact, being squeezed out.” The Delphi Technique is the method being used to squeeze citizens out of the process, effecting a left-wing take over of the schools.
A specialized use of this technique was developed for teachers, the “Alinsky Method” (ibid, p.123). The setting or group is, however, immaterial; the point is that people in groups tend to share a certain knowledge base and display certain identifiable characteristics (known as group dynamics). This allows for a special application of a basic technique.
The change agent or facilitator goes through the motions of acting as an organizer, getting each person in the target group to elicit expression of their concerns about a program, project, or policy in question. The facilitator listens attentively, forms “task forces,” “urges everyone to make lists,” and so on. While s/he is doing this, the facilitator learns something about each member of the target group. S/He identifies the “leaders,” the “loud mouths,” as well as those who frequently turn sides during the argument — the “weak or noncommittal”.
Suddenly, the amiable facilitator becomes “devil’s advocate.” S/He dons his professional agitator hat. Using the “divide and conquer” technique, s/he manipulates one group opinion against the other. This is accomplished by manipulating those who are out of step to appear “ridiculous, unknowledgeable, inarticulate, or dogmatic.” S/He wants certain members of the group to become angry, thereby forcing tensions to accelerate. The facilitator is well trained in psychological manipulation. S/He is able to predict the reactions of each group member. Individuals in opposition to the policy or program will be shut out of the group.
The method works. It is very effective with parents, teachers, school children, and any community group. The “targets” rarely, if ever, know that they are being manipulated. Or, if they suspect this is happening, do not know how to end the process.
The desired result is for group polarization, and for the facilitator to become accepted as a member of the group and group process. S/He will then throw the desired idea on the table and ask for opinions during discussion. Very soon his/her associates from the divided group begin to adopt the idea as if it were their own, and pressure the entire group to accept the proposition…
Ground rules for disrupting the consensus process (Delphi Technique) — when facilitators want to steer a group in a specific direction.
1) Always Be Charming. Smile, be pleasant, be courteous, moderate your voice so as not to come across as belligerent or aggressive.
2) Stay Focused. If at all possible, write your question down to help you stay focused. Facilitators, when asked questions they don’t want to answer, often digress from the issue raised and try to work the conversation around to where they can make the individual asking the question look foolish, feel foolish, appear belligerent or aggressive. The goal is to put the one asking the question on the defensive. Do not fall for this tactic. Always be charming, thus deflecting any insinuation, innuendo, etc, that may be thrown at you in their attempt to put you on the defensive, but bring them back to the question you asked. If they rephrase your question into an accusatory statement (a favorite tactic) simply state, “that is not what I stated, what I asked was… (repeat your question).” Stay focused on your question.
3) Be Persistent. If putting you on the defensive doesn’t work, facilitators often resort to long drawn out dissertations on some off-the-wall and usually unrelated, or vaguely related, subject that drags on for several minutes – during which time the crowd or group usually loses focus on the question asked (which is the intent). Let them finish with their dissertation/expose, then nicely, with focus and persistence, state, “but you didn’t answer my question. My question was… (repeat your question).”
Remember…
always be charming,
stay focused, and
be persistent.
Never, under any circumstance, become angry. Anger directed at the facilitator will immediately make the facilitator “the victim.” This defeats the purpose which is to make you the victim. The goal of the facilitator is to make those they are facilitating like them, alienating anyone who might pose a threat to the realization of their agenda. [People with fixed belief systems, who know what they believe and stand on what they believe, are obvious threats.] If the participant becomes the victim, the facilitator loses face and favor with the crowd. This is why crowds are broken up into groups of seven or eight, why objections are written on cards, not voiced aloud where they are open to public discussion and public debate. It’s called crowd control. It is always good to have someone else, or two or three others who know the Delphi Technique dispersed through the crowd; who, when the facilitator digresses from the question, will stand up and say nicely, “but you didn’t answer that lady’s/gentleman’s question.” The facilitator, even if suspecting you are together, certainly will not want to alienate the crowd by making that accusation. Sometimes it only takes one occurrence of this type for the crowd to figure out what’s going on, sometimes it takes more than one.
If you have an organized group, meet before the meeting to strategize. Everyone should know their part. Meet after the meeting to analyze what went right, what went wrong and why, and what needs to happen the next time around. Never meet during the meeting. One of the favorite tactics of the facilitator, if the meeting is not going the way he/she wants, if he/she is meeting measurable resistance, is to call a recess. During the recess, the facilitator and his/her “spotters” (people who wander the room during the course of the meeting, watching the crowd) watch the crowd to see who congregates where, especially those who have offered measurable resistance. If the “resistors” congregate in one place, a “spotter” will usually gravitate to that group to “join in the conversation” and will report back to the facilitator. When the meeting resumes, the facilitator will steer clear of those who are “resistors.” Do not congregate. Hang loose and work the crowd. Move to where the facilitator or “spotters” are, listen to what they have to say, but do not gravitate to where another member of your team is.
This strategy also works in a face to face, one on one, meeting with anyone who has been trained in how to use the Delphi Technique.

This week, a random mix of old tabs and “stuff”!
(1) Ever been curious about the squares of the numbers from 1 to 100?
TheseTruths on July 2, 2025 brought this explosive FBI reveal in the tweet below. I wonder if the Epstein crap, released as a leaked memo without signature, less than a week later was an ‘OH look a squirrel’ to take MAGA attention off of this big reveal.
That leak certainly did a great job of diverting attention. However I think this is what we should actually be paying attention to. Correcting our very corrupt election system is UP STREAM of putting in American First politicians and as a result being able to clean the corruption out of the judiciary and bureaucracy.
This is the tweet TheseTruths brought to our attention.
•FBI HQ interfered with Albany NY investigation into alleged Chinese 2020 Election Interference •Designed to shield then FBI Director Wray from political blowback over his Congressional testimony… pic.twitter.com/UbwITQCdK7
READ the actual Doc PDF HERE.It is 47 pages and not badly redacted.
A few interesting bits:
Hey gents, Hope you’ve had a great day. Quick heads up: I met with today. S/he advised that her/his most recent reporting specifically regardingthe fraudulent use of drivers’ licenses-was obtained from an individual in China. I asked if s/he had read about the aforementioned fraudulent use of drivers’ licenses in a newspaper, and said no. provided the name of the person who provided this information. I will document this information in a supplementary contact report as opposed to a source reporting document. The reason for this is I want to continue, as feasible as possible, to safeguard ’s identity.
The redactions are not showing they are just missing in the copy & paste.🤔
Thanks I just got a call from an SIA and UC at CD. Not surprisingly, all raw reporting concerning the election will now require HQ coordination, which was not required as of last week.
One thing they asked if [redacted] could address with the source – is the source or sub-source aware of open source reporting concerning seizures of thousands of driver’s licenses at Chicago O’Hare? Further open sources began to suggest these drivers licenses were being used to vote fraudulently…
And this is the August 2020 open source reporting (It was on Fox)
This smells like big time election interference to me… BY WAYNE DUPREEAUGUST 7, 2020
Why are the Chinese making so many fake U.S. driver licenses?….
According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the bulk of these fake U.S. IDs flooding into the country come from China and Hong Kong, with the rest coming in from South Korea and the U.K. [The UK is interfering again?? Remember the ties of Hong Kong to the UK too. -GC]
Federal customs officers have seized 1,513 shipments from overseas containing fraudulent documents—19,888 counterfeit U.S. driver’s licenses—just at Chicago O’Hare International Airport this year through the end of June.
Most of the shipments came from Hong Kong and mainland China, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Other shipments came from South Korea and the U.K.
“These counterfeit driver’s licenses can lead to disastrous consequences,” CBP’s Ralph Piccirilli said in a statement. “Criminal organizations use these counterfeit IDs to avoid attracting attention to their illegal activities.”
[…]
“What is most disconcerting about these interceptions, besides the volume in which we are experiencing, is the ease in which so many young people freely share their personal information with counterfeiters abroad,” Lemaux said in a statement.
“We’ll continue to collaborate with local law enforcement to educate the public, and anyone who is contemplating purchasing a counterfeit ID online, on the potential dangers of sharing your personal, identifiable information with a criminal element.”
As The Gateway Pundit reported back in 2020, election fraud whistleblowers came forward in December following the controversial election, including one who witnessed the shipping of an estimated 144,000-288,000 completed ballots across three state lines on October 21 2020.
The information was made public at a press conference by the Amistad Project of the Thomas More Society, a national constitutional litigation organization.
The Amistad Project said at the time that they had sworn declarations that over 300,000 ballots are at issue in Arizona, 548,000 in Michigan, 204,000 in Georgia, and over 121,000 in Pennsylvania.
They said that their evidence reveals multi-state illegal efforts by USPS workers to influence the election in at least three of six swing states.
The whistleblower statements included potentially hundreds of thousands of completed absentee ballots being transported across three state lines, and a trailer filled with ballots disappearing in Pennsylvania.
Attorney Phil Kline said, “130,000 to 280,000 completed ballots for the 2020 general election were shipped from Bethpage, NY, to Lancaster, PA, where those ballots and the trailer in which they were shipped disappeared.”
Truck driver Jesse Morgan was present at the press conference and spoke for 9 minutes about his unbelievable ordeal. Morgan was tasked with delivering completed ballots to Pennsylvania from New York State….
When talking about fraud and elections you can not forget Lawfare Expert Marc Elias who has done more to ‘shape’ our current election system than anyone else. (image from WIKI)
November 2, 2021 – Elias led numerous lawsuits in 2020 to expand mail-in voting and represented the Biden campaign in the election aftermath.
In other words, Elias used the courts to circumvent the legislature’s Constitutional RIGHT to determine how a state’s elections are run. For example, in North Carolina, a decade ago a law was passed requiring ID. An inferior court struck it down. Now courts are being used to remove the Constitutional Rights of our president.
Hillary Clinton’s attorney, Marc Elias (above), ordered George Gascon, the Los Angeles District Attorney (LADA), to kill the Konnech election sabotage case on Nov. 9th.
No one in Gascon’s office will go on the record to admit it. Because if they do, they fear dying with a pillow implanted over their face. Gascon was told to lie to his staff.
He told them the call came from the DNC (Democrat National Committee). Instead of Hillary. However, Hillary is the DNC…. [I do not care either way – GC]
Public information requests for the LADA’s phone records in November are unanswered.
Konnech CEO Eugene Yu was charged with embezzling $2.6 million from LA County for storing its election data in China, violating national security.
To avoid criminal prosecution, Yu relocated to Malaysia. Eugene fled the country on Nov. 10th after redeeming his $500,000 cash bond….
The above article has several pointers to other articles about Eugene Yu and Konnech.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I am going to steal some information from my old article in order to present as full a picture as I can. As far as I am concerned Katherine Engelbrecht, Gregg Phillips and Kanekoa should be up for a medal presented by POTUS Trump!
Katherine explains they were most interested in PROCESS and they did a lot of open records requests.
This is just the first few minutes of Gregg’s talk:
2:30 to 7:30 Gregg: the 3rd week of January in 2021, my guys in Dallas called me to a meeting at a Hilton… they had rented a room and they were all sort of wierd and stuffed towels under the door… They pulled up on the screen, in essence a data base. And the data base had in it every bit of information you would want to know on 1.8 million Americans. Their Drivers licence number, their dates of birth, social security numbers, bank account numbers routing numbers for those banks, their addresses 👉THEIR KIDS. Pretty much everything you would want to know. 👉Also the kids were in their and we knew that because the kids names were noted in all caps…😡 We are going thru this and I am asking what is this? And this is 1.8 million election workers in America. But it was more than that. It was a lot more than that. So as we dug into it and spent the next 3 or 4 hours and breaking up just before dawn… We learned thru this discovery process that this company had COLLECTED ALL VOTING RELATED INFORMATION, not just about the workers, about the schematics for the buildings, the RFID codes on the equipment, anything you would want to know about an election, to run an election or administer an election was in this data base.
The Data base it’s self… explains how got into the data base using Binary Edge (5:17 – 6:15)…It would be startling enough to know that information… was on servers in America. You would be even more startled to know this server lives on the main Unicom backbone in China and it is in a Chinese University in Wuhan China…. I am not talking about this being a storage place for a data process here. The App server for this particular application was in China….
Gregg is introducing the people at the PIT to Konnech and Eugene Yu. The server not only contained info on Americans but also on Australians, Canadians, Mexican and they ultimately found out the CCP elections are on this same server. This confounded the local (Detroit) FBI counter intel team. Gregg says they were part of the on going FBI operation [Can you say set-up by FBI?] Later Gregg acknowledged that it was a set-up. At ~30 minutes they get into exhibits.
This is the complete list of Docs that were shared: Zip File
Also mentioned is the Chinese law that makes ALL THE DATA ON THAT WEB SERVER CHINESE GOVERNMENT PROPERTY! Konnech has contracts all over the country, mainly in all the key counties and all the key cities like Detroit and Boston.
At around 9 minutes to 11 minutes Gregg talks about Mungo DB and their password. How the system was so poorly written that it was wide open and allowed his guys to download all the data. He then goes into the Chinese Communist Credit Scores that ALSO IS APPLIED to AMERICANS. They have more info about Americans than anyone in the world. Gregg emphasizes they have info on just about EVERYONE in the USA. Also Gregg mentions Eugene Yu had his hands in mail-in vote counting software too.
The Georgia and January 6th-related indictments against Donald J. Trump are predicated on the narrative that election authorities like Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr, and others had thoroughly evaluated the accuracy of the 2020 elections and gave counsel to then-President Donald Trump that there was “no meaningful election fraud” based on their professional, supportable evaluations. True the Vote’s experiences in Georgia prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the General Election of 2020 was never meaningfully investigated. From the over 67,000 votes attached to voting records of individuals ineligible to vote in their jurisdiction to unmonitored surveillance cameras and phantom ballots, these errant processes should have been monitored and investigated before certification. As you will read, True the Vote repeatedly presented its work to Federal and State law enforcement officials. Authorities did not investigate. Instead, they obfuscated, delayed, and ultimately targeted President Trump, True the Vote, and others, for publicly exposing their failure to uphold lawful processes. Those who question the accuracy of the 2020 General Election were, and are, right to do so.
open.ink team”
Kanekoa gets into the nuts and bolts of the computer stuff Gregg revealed and I do not understand.
Konnech CEO Eugene Yu was arrested earlier this month in Michigan in connection with “theft of personal data.” The alleged stolen data belonged to poll workers and was the subject of TrueTheVote’s “PIT” in Arizona last August, where Catherine Engelbrecht and Gregg Phillips singled out the company…Now we get into the more recent information.
…. April 18, 2024 from Just The News. This is the information conveyed above by others.
The Los Angeles DA allegedly dropped the criminal charges against Konnech CEO Eugene Yu because he was afraid of appearing to be aligned with President Trump, according to the prosecutor’s complaint.
A lead prosecutor on a case involving the CEO of an election software company has filed a government tort complaint against Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón for allegedly dismissing criminal charges improperly against the company executive for political purposes.
The prosecution of the head of an election software company used by election offices across the country that began in October 2022 was ended about a month later because of the Los Angeles County district attorney’s concerns about his political image, according to the lead prosecutor’s complaint against the DA.
On Wednesday, Eric Neff, a prosecutor in the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office, filed a lawsuit against the DA for allegedly improperly dismissing criminal charges against Eugene Yu, the founder and CEO of the Michigan-based election software company Konnech….
Skuttlebutt from Naked Truth News. I do remember the move to Malaysia and it was mentioned above in another article..

: Expose the FBI and Gascón’s Konnech–CCP Election Software Cover-Up Strong evidence shows that corrupt FBI officials and former LADA George Gascón deliberately concealed CCP infiltration of U.S. election systems—because exposing it would have politically benefited @realDonaldTrump
now have a rare opportunity: expose how deeply politicized the FBI became, remove CCP-controlled software from America’s elections, and finish an investigation that was already 90% complete before it was sabotaged. At the center of the scandal is Konnech, a Michigan-based election software company secretly developed and financed by two Chinese firms—Jinhua Yulian Network and Jinhua Hongzheng Technology—under contract with China’s National People’s Congress and in partnership with state-owned giants like Huawei, China Telecom, China Unicom, China Mobile, and Lenovo. Konnech’s flagship product, PollChief, is used to manage poll worker scheduling, equipment deployment, and logistics in major U.S. cities including Los Angeles, San Francisco, Detroit, Washington D.C., Fairfax County, and St. Louis.
In early 2021, @TrueTheVote‘s Catherine Engelbrecht and Gregg Phillips discovered that Konnech was storing the personally identifiable information (PII) of U.S. election workers, judges, and voters on servers in China. Using open-source tools like Binary Edge, they traced PollChief to Chinese IP addresses—where they found unsecured databases containing names, Social Security numbers, addresses, bank information, voter roll data, polling location schematics, provisional ballot serial numbers, and even passwords for voting machines.
They alerted FBI field offices in Detroit and San Antonio, where agents took the threat seriously and launched a 15-month counterintelligence investigation. But in April 2022—just before the release of Dinesh D’Souza’s 2000 Mules, a film on 2020 election fraud featuring True the Vote—FBI headquarters in Washington, D.C. intervened and flipped the investigation on its head. Field agents warned Engelbrecht and Phillips that they, not Konnech, were now considered the threat.
Two senior female FBI officials in Washington D.C. were reportedly preparing criminal charges against them rather than Konnech’s CEO Eugene Yu. Engelbrecht was warned she and Phillips might be prosecuted for accessing Konnech’s data on Chinese servers. The FBI even tipped off Konnech about the investigation—compromising the case—and began circulating internal accusations that Phillips had committed cybercrimes, referring those allegations to the CIA and NSA.
Phillips said their goal was to “Roger Stone” him—publicly smear and criminalize him as they had done to Trump allies. In fear for their safety, a field agent advised Engelbrecht and Phillips to take the “nuclear option”—go public. On August 13, 2022, they did just that at The Pit, a closed-door briefing in Arizona with 200 cybersecurity experts, journalists, and election integrity investigators.
Two weeks later, Konnech sued them. In a stunning series of courtroom actions, Engelbrecht and Phillips were jailed and held in solitary confinement—until the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ordered their immediate release. The FBI stood by and let it happen. After their release, they published thousands of documents exposing Konnech’s ties to China. Within days, Konnech dropped the lawsuit.
Meanwhile, independent researchers quickly pieced together Eugene Yu’s background. Born in China, Jianwei Yu (于建伟) graduated from Zhejiang University in 1982 and worked for the CCP from 1983 to 1985 as a project manager in the Guangzhou Economic and Technological Development Zone. He moved to the U.S. in 1986 to pursue an MBA at Wake Forest University. In 2002, Yu founded Konnech. By November 2005, he had launched a Chinese subsidiary—Jinhua Yulian Network—funded and overseen by the CCP. That same year, he was profiled as an “overseas scholar” in a Chinese-language publication by the China Association for Science and Technology (CAST) and the American Zhu Kezhen Education Foundation (AZKEF). CAST is a formal CCP arm linking Chinese leadership with overseas scientists and technologists. AZKEF, where Yu served on the finance committee, flew U.S. researchers—including Harvard’s Charles Lieber—to Chinese universities.
Lieber was later arrested for failing to disclose his ties to China’s Thousand Talents Plan, one of the CCP’s many programs that recruit foreign experts to encourage the illicit transfer of intellectual property back to China. Konnech’s Chinese ties ran deep. It partnered with Michigan State University’s Confucius Institute, developed software in CCP-run tech parks, and directly served China’s National People’s Congress (NPC) and the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC).
On January 25, 2006, Yu’s Chinese company was accepted into the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Jinhua Science and Technology Park—a CCP-controlled tech incubator. From that point on, Jinhua Yulian Network and Konnech, were financed, developed, and controlled by the Chinese Communist Party. Just a month later, on February 25, 2006, Yu registered the domain yu-lian .cn for Jinhua Yulian Network using his Konnech email address (eyu@konnech .com). Archived versions of the company’s Chinese-language website show Yu praising “Comrade Jiang Zemin” and the Chinese Communist Party, while promoting Konnech’s software products used by the National People’s Congress, the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, Election Management Solutions Detroit, and U.S. Overseas Voters.
In December 2006, Konnech partnered with the Confucius Institute to build a Chinese communication platform called ChineseBrief .com. Yu registered CNBrief LLC, launched www.cnbrief .com, and displayed a banner in Chinese that translated to: “Chinese Brief – Overseas Chinese Network.” Confucius Institutes are CCP-funded cultural centers embedded in Western universities that U.S. intelligence agencies and lawmakers have long warned operate under the direction of the CCP. On July 18, 2007, an archived Chinese government website showed Yu offering a 5 million yuan (~$700,000 USD) software development contract on behalf of Jinhua Yulian Network, again using his Konnech email address and website.
The U.S. election software CEO managed the Guangzhou Development Zone, and his Chinese subsidiary developed electronic voting systems for China’s National People’s Congress for nearly two decades.
Do you think Eugene Yu is secretly running Hongzheng Technology? Or, perhaps, could Yu be secretly running Konnech, a voting technology company in America, for the CCP?
An independent journalist published an excellent video report on Konnech CEO Eugene Yu’s connection to Hongzheng Technology. With her Chinese background, Lei independently verified Konnech CEO Eugene Yu’s relation to the Chinese Communist Party’s premier voting technology company Jinhua Hongzheng Technology. [Contains transcript]
I meticulously documented everything I found about Eugene Yu for the last six weeks — and now I’m ready to teach New York Times reporters and FBI agents what I found. It’s super simple!
“Each time I get someone to sign they gave me $200… One day I got like $1200… I did it for like six months… Deborah [Peoples] gave me cash… Stuart [Clegg] gave me cash.
Michigan’s Konnech Inc. registered “hongzhengtech.cn” for a Chinese election technology company partnered with Lenovo, Huawei, China Telecom, China Unicom, and China’s National People’s Congress.
A deep dive into a Michigan election company’s patents, employees, domain registrations, and internet archives reveals a disturbing Chinese connection.
Konnech Inc., creator of the ‘PollChief’ software used by ‘thousands of Election Offices across North America’ built ChineseBrief.com for the Confucius Institute.
“If you haven’t seen the movie 2000 mules — watch it. I don’t think anyone can say that the 2020 election was the freest and fairest in history after watching that.”

I am hoping the ‘Safe & Secure Election’ trope gets blown sky high very soon! (And Tina Peters is released and vindicated.)
Joe Biden never won. This is our Real President – 45, 46, 47.
AND our beautiful REALFLOTUS.
This Stormwatch Monday Open Thread remains open – VERY OPEN – a place for everybody to post whatever they feel they would like to tell the White Hats, and the rest of the MAGA/KAG/KMAG world (with KMAG being a bit of both).
This man, making Christmas calls from the White House, believes the world is a sphere. And he has even flown around it! So has our beautiful FLOTUS, who happens to be his wife!
Truth and common sense must be valued by us, as individuals, in order to lastingly disempower the authoritarian fake news media. This includes the perniciously smarmy science media, which never answers for its errors and lies. I believe that the media has been responsible not only for leftist pathologies like scientism, medical fascism, and radical gender ideology, but also for reactionary movements like modern flat Earth, rejection of all medicine, and Biblical geological literalism.
Just as Wheatie’s Stormwatch Monday Open Thread was created as a place for people to openly express their thoughts and opinions, so, too, is this Thank God Thursday Open Thread, where honest but civil discussion of all topics is encouraged. This thread is also to be known as Theistic Evolution Thursdays, due to the author’s expected “pontification” about his scientific, religious, and political opinions. You are welcome to pontificate back! Free speech matters!
Please label all AI-generated content as being such, unless it is patently obvious (e.g., humorous AI images). It is important that we as individuals not begin to pretend that socially derived artificial intelligence is actually our own, as this form of stealthy social information averaging and feedback would be one more pretense and deception between people, in service of stupid Marxist socialism, and of those who wish to substitute their communally protected lies for actual truth.
The source of alleged truth matters, not for the truth itself, but for validation.
And yes, it’s THURSDAY…again.
And that’s it. We’re done stealing from Wheatie.
OK – maybe her rules need to be posted.
No food fights.
No running with scissors.
If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.
Other rules may be derivable from these, and that conjecture is left for discussion.
If there is nothing beyond the “W” below, then this is a placeholder. For health reasons, I can’t always post a timely opinion before each Thursday, but I will try. Otherwise, you have this placeholder post, where YOU provide the content. Enjoy!
W
Grab your popcorn, my fellow “anti-intellectuals”!
A special treat for us “science deplorables” who are arriving as barbarians at the gate, questioning the leftist sacrament of peer review!
Watching scientific peer review being demoted from censorious gatekeepers, back to “free speech” standards for both authors and critics, is truly enjoyable here.
(Just watch from 11:00 to around 20:00 if you want the part about peer review. If you want the full brutal fight in evolution, that is 2 1/2 hours long, beginning to end!)
But wait! There’s more! Evolution is having a food fight!
Likewise, many of us hillbillies who have always thought “hey, that prehistoric ape can’t be fully human” will enjoy watching this fight within evolution, in which a bunch of us evolutionists cry out either “hey, that dubious ape-like member of genus Homo likely didn’t practice burial and art” or “hey, let this guy prove his case” or even “hey, I need more popcorn!”
Seriously, I’m not sure which side I’m on with these papers – probably all three! But notice how evolutionists are now free to have a public dispute over edgy (and possibly wrong) science. “Decorum” is no longer the top priority, and “unity in the face of critics” is no longer the “stop vaccine hesitancy at all costs” of paleoanthropology.
I’m impressed. Trump is fixing things even more than I thought! And I’m giving Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. some credit, too!
Ah, yes. The clutching of pearls by all involved in academia is most satisfying!
In other news….. there is a LOT of WINNING.
Have a wonderful 4th of July, people! Patriots ARE in control, and this is exactly what we prayed for – AND voted for!
Yes, our prayers were answered, and I ask all of you this 4th of July to be thankful for what has transpired.
If you are a believer like me, I ask that you earnestly give thanks to God for our deliverance from leftist insanity.
We are undeserving, we must try to be more deserving. Reach out with the Good News – let people know why you are thankful! Let this Fourth also be another Thanksgiving – for the blessings we have received – and for the patriots who helped this winning happen!
From deceptive acts used in the the sausage making of legislation in our current days to the deception by an author with the use of pen names, this thread is also about one very prominent founding father. It is safe to say that without his dedicated efforts in a foreign land during the Revolutionary War we may not have a reason to celebrate our nation’s independence today.
As previously discussed the Federalists and Anti-Federalists used the media of that day to publish their views in an attempt to sway public opinion their individual direction. So it was with this incredible founder many decades before the patriot movement in the colonies, except he did not always have political motives with his written words.
Sometimes his tranny alter ego took over.
😂
Benjamin Franklin
Now you may ask, Trade, why would you disparage such an important American patriot? Brilliant Benjamin, or as he signed his name – B. Franklin, or “B” from this point on – was the master of using pseudonyms for his authorship. As a result he would sometimes choose fictitious ladies to write letters to newspapers by names such as Polly Baker and Silence Dogood. It was a way to get around the heavy censorship of the period, especially relating to subjects that were generally not accepted by society and political leaders.
Censorship in media inspired by government forces? Say it ain’t so! Yup, going back 300 years or so between these shores it was done in similar ways using whatever methodology they had available at the time. A reminder of Ecclesiastes 1:9 (NASB) is appropriate. “What has been, it is what will be, And what has been done, it is what will be done. So there is nothing new under the sun.“
In one of B’s letter stories it seems Polly was an unwed mother with several illegitimate children who would opine about separation of church and state matters. She believed that having children born out of wedlock was not sinful. She saw herself before a fictive court making a defense without benefit of a lawyer whom she could not afford anyway. She believed that she deserved a statute in her honor instead of the whipping that authorities wanted to administer. She was basically pointing out the double standard of society’s treatment of men and women. The satire used is really humorous.
Silence was the first of B’s cast of characters. She was a middle aged country widow of a minister who once went after society not providing the same opportunity for education for the poor that the wealthy had. She loved men and the clergy while having a particular penchant for reproving others satirically. B snuck letters from “her” into his older brother’s newspaper without his knowledge. 😂
Even the names he used for his women authors were funny. Besides Polly and Silence, there were Caelia Shortface, Martha Careful, Alice Addertongue and Busy Body all contributing. The latter penned gossip and a lot of hilarious looks at relationships between men and women.
His cast of names of men authors were noteworthy as well. Of course, most folks know that B used the name of Richard Saunders to produce Poor Richard’s Almanack as a young man. This publication continued for 26 editions and averaged around 10,000 copies issued per year. There also was the funny married life portrayals of Anthony Afterwit. Later in life in England he wrote under the pen name of Benevolus to dispel rumors about colonists that were being printed in the British press.
Needless to say B had an amazingly observant, creative, and intelligent mind. We should all be thankful he was a patriot because there was a long period of time before the war when he was a British loyalist. Some of those who did not care for him for a variety of reasons even accused him of being a British spy. However, as the oppressive Brits began to tighten down on the colonies, he flipped to being a full throated patriot. From his works we also see a founding father who was way ahead of his time when it came to seeking gender equality, access to education for all, scientific endeavors, and seeking fair dealings in all endeavors.
Biography
There is not enough time to detail B’s biography here. This extraordinary man left an incredible legacy in so many areas of life. I will not attempt to summarize, it would not do him justice. I have provided a shortened version of his bio in the first link below. The second link goes into a bit more information that hits the higher points of his life. I have followed that with a very good, more detailed version for those who want to know more in the format of an autobiography in the man’s own words that he chronicles to the year 1757.
Now that you probably know more about the man than you probably ever desired to know, we can focus on some of his more notable interactions and relationships during the founding years of our nation.
Will start with a political cartoon he published in his newspaper, the Pennsylvania Gazette, in May 1754.
He basically told the colonies to work together to become unified or die. The image was widely used leading up to the war.
He was a devoted freemason throughout his life. He joined in Philadelphia in 1730. It nearly cost his freedom and did damage his reputation for a time due to a stupid hazing incident that cost a man his life. B was dragged into the resulting negativity. Below is a published accusation, B’s response, and a witness statement. He testified in the criminal trial on behalf of the prosecution.
There is some nasty freemason shiz in that accusation that led to a conviction of manslaughter for the offender.
He aligned more with Thomas Jefferson in his political, governmental, and societal views. Similar to Jefferson, he embraced the Age of Enlightenment in Europe and in particular in France. This philosophy led several leaders who formerly claimed to be Christians to becoming Deists. In Jefferson’s case it appeared he did not stay in the Deist camp later in life. The two shared much in common in their beliefs about humanity and governing. The link below describes the relationship and their times well. It is from the Jefferson Monticello organization.
B left for France as a traitor to Great Britain at age 70, just months after signing the Declaration of Independence. It is safe to say that the colonies would have never won the Revolutionary War and independence without France becoming fully immersed in the struggle and strongly supporting the efforts of the colonies. Which shows everybody how things can change over time on the world stage. Big bad France of those days is a mess today.
B was very famous and a celebrity in France the entire nine years he lived there. He was known throughout Europe to have discovered electricity and for his inventions such as the flexible tubed urinary catheter. His manner fit in well with leaders and aristocracy in the nation. As we now know he also designed the first known pair of bifocals upon his return to the states.
He was never in a hurry, he took time to visit and understand the people and their motives. He took every meeting that was requested of him while in France. As it applied to meeting the war time needs of the colonies he was very good at bluffing and blowing smoke up the rears of French leaders when it came to the military prowess of the colonist military. He was patient when it came to securing the needed assets to help the colonial war efforts, which drove many of his contemporaries back in America crazy. He did not push hard for assistance until he had something to sell, which turned out to be the colonist victory at the Battle of Saratoga and subsequent capture of Gen. Burgoyne and his men. Ironically, Benedict Arnold led the colonial forces that accomplished it. That victory was all that was needed for France to sign treaties of alliance and jump in. More good information is in the article below.
As discussed in the linked article and in my previous post, John Adams and B were not best buddies. B’s deliberate manner and celebrity status drove John Adams crazy. However, they tolerated each other to accomplish important work for America. After a time, Adams was sent to Great Britain as the war ended as previously noted in the post about him. He was much happier and more effective there as he fit in with the British royals and aristocrats with his background and manner. This was the opposite of B’s previous experiences in Britain. The British royalty and aristocracy never really accepted him despite his attempts to fit in. They respected his accomplishments, but having been a commoner with little standing in society and formal education, B was considered beneath them.
B. Franklin’s Family and Death
This is a good place to end this Part. B’s marriage and children reflected an absent husband and father who was not all that into family life. It just goes to show that famous legends in history sometimes lead just as wanky of personal lives as many of the rest of us. I cannot vouch for the accuracy of the grunge.com link below due to their spotty track record, although this article appears accurate compared to other historical accounts. They do reference Smithsonian documentation among other reputable sources in several spots. I have also linked the applicable Smithsonian one that applies to the following theory of the primary cause of the couple’s estrangement. If it is accurate, it sheds light on a brilliant, often times conflicted man who had a penchant for walking on the dark side at times in his life.
If the theory holds, B could never reconcile to wife Deborah’s refusal to inoculate for small pox their four year old son, Francis, from which he later contracted the disease and died. Long periods of time and distance apart did not make B’s heart grow fonder for Deborah and their daughter, Sarah, which made reconciliation less likely to occur. In fact, during Deborah’s latter years alive while B was in Great Britain he would send letters to her delaying his return even though he was well aware she was gravely ill. He waited to return until she passed away in 1774.
Cold, not only to her and Sarah, but also to older son, William, who was reported to be B’s from an extra-marital affair. William was well provided for and raised by the couple into adulthood. He was very close to his father for a time and considered Deborah his mother. There is speculation that Deborah actually was his mother, that William’s birth was from a period when she was estranged from her first husband. The couple were very secretive about William’s origins such that even his birth year was questioned. William went on to a distinguished career as an attorney, politician and soldier. However, he remained a British loyalist and became a nemesis to B and the founding fathers in his twenties. So much so that he was imprisoned at the start of the war for two years. He was released and immediately began organizing loyalists to fight the colonists. A few years later he was exiled to London and never returned.
Needless to say B harbored bitter resentment against Deborah, which may or may not have been founded on truth over a subject of vaccinations that is still a divisive issue centuries later.
Please note what this (restored as of 2016/2017) plaque near his grave states.
As it states, he wrote it earlier in life with no intention of it actually being used. Will leave you with one of B’s better American Patriot quotes of the ages to live by.
“Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.”
Please remember Wolf’s rules for our community. In general that means to be respectful to each other and to pull no shenanigans that your mom might find offensive or otherwise cause jail time. That said, free speech is honored here.
Have a happy Independence Day, folks. We have so much to be thankful for as we head into The Golden Age of America. Be blessed and go make something good happen!

Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the Week:
plegometer
noun
instrument for measuring the strength of a blow
device for measuring the force of a blow or stroke
Used in a sentence (from 1897)
In 1839, a meeting of the Miners’ Society was held at Redruth, and a wish was expressed that the duty might be calculated on a stroke measured by a plegometer instead of the method of ascertaining the number of strokes by a counter.
