"The Whole Story"
I've read several hypotheses about what took place last week at Lindell's cyber symposium.
I haven't read a correct one yet.
But some good tries.
Remember Occam's Razor... the simplest explanation tends to be the correct one.
Admittedly, there were many things going on simultaneously, so it would be challenging to untangle them.
There were times WE didn't know what was going on.
Warfare is like that.

Beth (my assistant) has been nagging me (affectionately) to finish the "whole story" we began writing on Friday for y'all.
Trouble is... there are still things going on. Where to draw the line, and what is safe to reveal, is not settled yet. But we are getting there.
In the interim, please know that there is more to come, and that the efforts already underway in so many states are growing geometrically... with or without PCAPs.

"Ops"
To my knowledge, I have never been involved in military ops before.
Well, last week was baptism by fire.
And I have a new appreciation for the training and tenacity of our military folks. God bless them.
There were ops, counter-ops, *multiple* teams, canary traps, poison pills, PsychOps and SecOps.
One Op I haven't heard much discussion about, I will call "SpirOps." Short for spiritual operations.
Unbeknownst to most folks, there were individuals backstage, teams in back rooms, and teams and individuals across the country praying aggressively for us. In real time. Spiritual warfare. The real deal.
Prayer warriors wielding powerful spiritual weapons against the forces of evil.
After this ordeal, I am convinced that the SpirOps were the most important Ops of the week.
Make no mistake, my friends. This is not merely a battle for our country, for liberty, and for the Truth, this is a spiritual battle for the souls of a nation and the entire world.
And the SpirOp is ongoing. If you are not yet engaged, I encourage you to bring your spiritual weapons to the table.
"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms."
-- Ephesians 6:12

If you are watching the program now live with Lindell, you are catching a glimpse of what we all were going through last week.
It felt like I lived three weeks during three days.
I witnessed it firsthand. I was there. I was in the war room.
We were betrayed.

“NDA”
A non-disclosure agreement means that what you hear in a protected setting may not be discussed outside that setting unless it is already publicly available.
I know it is frustrating for you folks out there, but one of the first things that Col Waldron said when we met in the “war room” with the red team was, “Everything said in this room stays in this room.”
Despite this, there were leaks. Big ones. And obviously, Josh Merritt was one of them. This is not debatable. He is quoted in the the Washington Times, and was captured on tape in two interviews with Pete Santilli.
In the beginning, it was startling to me how rapidly our offenses were being countered, but it makes more sense now that we know there were leaks.
The saying, “No battle plan survives first contact with the enemy.” was ringing in my head throughout the event, as our fluid battle plans were constantly being countered almost before they were being launched.
I had never met nor heard of “Spyder” before this event, but was initially impressed by his various exploits when he relayed them to me. I have nothing personal to say negative about him, but he obviously violated the trust and confidence of his foxhole buddies.
He was removed by the leadership Wednesday morning of the event, once it was confirmed that he was a leak.
He was not the only leak.
The leadership was prepared for these sorts of things, and various Ops were running the entire time to mitigate them. I was impressed by the professionalism and expertise of my teammates.
Of course, I was disappointed that we did not accomplish everything we had originally intended.
But I’ve been repeatedly re-learning something important in the preceding months: it is God’s timing, not ours.
Every time I see a plan “fail,” I look back at it and am amazed that the ultimate outcome is actually better than my planned one; I could not have planned it better myself.
So, each day I re-imagine myself as a leaf on the river, flowing where God has planned.
I am in good hands.
“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”
—Romans 8:28

I will serve the Lord, I will live my song;
With my life, I’ll sing to Him the whole day long.
Strike a chord of love with all my days;
My life a symphony of endless praise.

People are asking me about Professor Clements' role in all the hubbub last week.
From my perspective, he was a valuable contributor, and I enjoyed meeting a foxhole buddy face to face.
He admits that he misjudged Josh Merritt, and is trying to mitigate any damage that resulted.
And he has been attempting to correct the error. Give him credit.
If people aren't making errors, then it is unlikely they are making progress either.
People who acknowledge their errors improve their credibility with me.
From where I sit, I think Professor Clements is the real deal. A fellow patriot.

“Cyber Experts”
Late afternoon of the end of the first day of the Cyber Symposium, I dropped in on the cyber guys... I speak their language, and I was anticipating that they would have lots of questions.
I knew they would be disappointed that they had initially received such a small sampling from the PCAPs, because I was too. I explained to them what was going on, and assured them that our intent was to get them the complete picture by the third day.
*I wanted the PCAPs too...*
In the interim, we had given them forensic images of voting machines from Mesa and Antrim Counties.
One of them said, “Now, I hate you Dr Frank, because now I’m gonna be up all night.” They are like raw meat to lions for these guys.
It was as though we had been mining for gold, and stumbled upon diamonds. Forensic images are far better than PCAPs.
As late as Wednesday evening, it was still our intent to deliver the PCAPs, and our team was preparing a new 7Tb slice for them. Some things had been prepared in advance, but there were technical difficulties and the red team was demanding a different approach.
Of course, now you know of the assault on Mr Lindell and the poison pill Op that was in place which changed our plans at the last minute.
Several positive things resulted, one of which I had not thought of in advance. I had been thinking of the cyber guys as adversarial... there to prove that the PCAPs were not from the November 2020 election and win the five million dollars.
Instead, most of them are true patriots, stepping up to serve their country. I was inspired by their devotion and impressed by their skills.
So, yes, the PCAPs are delayed, and we will have to be patient while things work themselves out.
But our team of patriots just got bigger, and this is the beginning of something remarkable.

“Poison Pill”
A poison pill Op is where you plant something strategically in the opponents camp that allows you to damage them.
At the cyber symposium, we discovered that we had infiltrators in key positions, with access to the data that we were about to distribute.
We knew we had FBI agents on the floor of the symposium gathering intel.
We discovered late Wednesday evening that there were warrants issued, ready to be exercised on the following day.
It is illegal to distribute classified information, and suspect computers can be confiscated and distributers can be arrested.
There was a credible threat, and military folks treat credible threats as actual threats.
(Gosh, I love our military guys...)
The fastest way to make enemies of fifty cyber guys would be to get their computers seized, and to put them in jail.
I don’t want to be in jail either.
And it would also deliver the data into the hands of the opposition.
We began making decisions assuming a poison pill Op was in effect.
So we went with plan B, and it seems like a good plan to me. But I’m new at all this cloak-and-dagger stuff.
Lady Draza and I were discussing it afterward, and she noted that there seemed to be little opposition to the release of the new PCAP data. (Like they wanted us to release the new data.) Not until we started releasing forensic images was Mike assaulted. I think she is better at this than me.

“Lady Draza”
I need to acknowledge something publicly.
When Draza first arrived in SD, she wondered out loud why I’d invited her.
1) she’s brilliant;
2) she’s competent;
3) she’s skilled and experienced in precisely the topics at hand;
4) she’s a patriot;
5) she brings another mind to the table, examining election fraud from a unique perspective;
6) she’s honest and genuine.
Things got fast and furious right out of the gate, and I had a great deal on my plate to worry about. But I noticed that anything that Draza had a hand in was succeeding with flying colors. Like the “mock election.”
It was nice to be able to focus on my hot spots and put the others out of my mind, because I knew Draza was on it.
Another foxhole buddy, for sure.

“The Red Team”
I arrived several days early to the cyber symposium (Saturday) because I understood how important the event was. I wanted to be well-prepared and to help facilitate the success of the event.
When I arrived, I discovered that Lindell had hired a “red team,” led by Col Waldron, whose job it was to “think like the enemy” and uncover the weaknesses in our battle plans for the week. They started setting up late Saturday night.
It did not take them long to uncover some serious weaknesses.
When I joined the team on Sunday, I was quite alarmed, and I enjoined the effort to shore up our strategies.
For various reasons, we had to acquire a new copy of the PCAP data... not a trivial task. Mr Lindell set his plane scurrying across the country to gather what we needed.
We finally got what we needed, but the bulk of the data were still not going to be ready in time for the Tuesday release... likely Thursday.
We were seriously discussing postponing the event.
We called Mr Lindell to the war room to give him the bad news.
While he was en route, we got a phone call from Tina Peters. She was ready to become a county clerk whistleblower.
We looked at each other... we had forensic images of her Mesa County election systems... BETTER than PCAPs.
Like you are mining for gold, and you stumble upon diamonds.
Mr Lindell enters the war room, and Kurt smiles and says, “Mr Lindell, you are the luckiest SOB on the planet.”
Mr Lindell says, “No, it’s another divine appointment.”
Indeed, there were many divine appointments that week.
It was nice having God on the red team.

“Security”
I’ve spent several days with Mr Lindell since March. Each time there have been security teams on hand, packing some serious hardware. Mostly former Navy seals. It has been surreal.
Security for the cyber Symposium felt different. I hardly ever saw a weapon, and the teams were mostly younger guys.
It wasn’t until Thursday that I learned that there were other teams as well. “SecOps” were identifying every attendee in real time using facial recognition. There were undercover teams on the event floor, and teams back in the hotel working their intelligence.
I had no idea all this was going on until Thursday, the last day of the event. Obviously, I’m kinda naive when it comes to all this cloak and dagger stuff.
Mr Lindell had reserved all the rooms in our hotel in advance, there were security folks in the hotel, and we thought the hotel was relatively secure. Obviously, we were wrong, because Mr Lindell was assaulted on Wednesday evening next to the elevator while he was headed back to his hotel room.
I was missing my Navy seals.
