This Is A Coup: The Homeland Security Takeover Of US Elections

Jon Rappoport

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.

    1. Nice!

      Near the end it says “join your state’s “irregular” Militia. There is no lawful “irregular” Militia. The Militia of the several states IS THE Militia. But to lawfully enforce the laws of the state, to be used by those who serve within the federal and state governments as is constitutionally required, etc those who are in that Militia must be trained as the congress requires the military to train – that takes a veteran and is why (I believe) vets are under attack), and they must read and understand the US Constitution, their own state’s Constitution because it is those documents they are lawfully the enforcement arm of – and that is in writing.

      Clause 15: “To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel invasions.“

      Then there are the duties those who serve within the governments – state and federal – have to the Militias.

      Clause 16: “To provide for organizing, arming and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress”.

      So why do those who serve within our governments NOT want constitutional Militias? Because they are required, in writing, to use them for certain listed purposes, which means they are forbidden to use certain agencies such as the DHS, etc for those purposes.

      The Militia has as its constitutionally assigned duties to:
      — Enforce the US Constitution and each state’s Constitution,
      — Enforce and keep the “Laws of the Union” (which are constitutional laws ONLY),
      — Protect the country against all enemies both domestic and foreign, and
      — “to suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions”.

      At this time the only excuse that those who serve within our governments have for NOT using the Militias for those purposes, and those are paid purposes, are because there are not enough constitutionally trained to replace those agencies they currently use. Then of course, they do not want to use an armed and trained people who are NOT beholden to them for their positions, and who knows exactly what those who serve are allowed to do, allowed to do only under certain circumstances, and forbidden to them. That would pizz them off royally.

      George Washington: “It may be laid down, as a primary position, and the basis of our system, that EVERY citizen who enjoys the protection of a free government…, but even of his personal services to the defence of it, and consequently that the Citizens of America (with a few legal and official exceptions) from 18 to 50 Years of Age should be borne on the Militia Rolls, provided with uniform Arms, and so far accustomed to the use of them, that the Total strength of the Country might be called forth at Short Notice on any very interesting Emergency.” (“Sentiments on a Peace Establishment”, letter to Alexander Hamilton; “The Writings of George Washington”) (caps mine)

      John Adams: “To suppose arms in the hands of citizens, to be used at individual discretion, except in private self-defense, or by partial orders of towns, countries or districts of a state, is to demolish every constitution, and lay the laws prostrate, so that liberty can be enjoyed by no man; it is a dissolution of the government. The fundamental law of the militia is, that it be created, directed and commanded by the laws, and ever for the support of the laws.” (A Defense of the Constitutions of the United States 475)

      Alexander Hamilton, Federalist Papers 28: “The militia is a voluntary force not associated or under the control of the States except when called out; [when called into actual service] a permanent or long standing force would be entirely different in make-up and call.“

      Nor did they want the people dependent upon those who serve within our governments to provide our weapons because they knew history. They fully expected, without governmental regulation, that we would create our own “maunufactories”.

      George Washington: “A free people ought not only to be armed, but disciplined; to which end a uniform and well-digested plan is requisite; and their safety and interest require that they should promote such manufactories as tend to render them independent of others for essential, particularly military, supplies.”

      1. F#@k the the US Constitution and the state’s constitutions. They are all breached and thus hold no authority for any operation.
        As for the militias, they existed before the government.
        The Bill of Rights is the authority for any and every American national to take up their guns, organize, and enforce the common law.
        Again, the states and the federal have no authority as the contracts that gave them authority are null and void via breach.

        1. The Bill of Rights is the authority for any and every American national to take up their guns, organize, and enforce the common law.

          Amen, Henry!

          we are ALL the Militia ..and thats what this Enemy Force In Occupation is fearful of .. and dam sure should be

  1. DHS to run elections, wants voting classified as “critical infrastructure”

    “…Elections, even national elections, have been historically treated as a local event, having a federal designation as critical infrastructure will fundamentally change how we have handled our elections for the last 240 years,”Tenable Network Security strategist Cris Thomas said .

    President and DHS Board of Directors to Decide Elections…

    DHS’s Advisory Council Members includes cops, firefighters, military leaders, Booze/Allen/Hamilton an NFL representative and many more questionable members who would be given the power to decide elections.

    Are these the people you want controlling our electoral process?

  2. I still believe that the Trump victory wasn’t the “upset” that the media makes it out to be, but in fact, he was always intended to win. The brainwashed college kids and liberals will be genuinely upset, because they were trained to be the useful idiots they are.

    This isn’t a coup. That occurred long ago. This is merely another part of the big, slow announcement that the federal government is in charge, and we mean nothing. Just another part of the ongoing incremental takeover that makes the coup acceptable to the American people, because they’re always provided with a plausible reason for the increased tyranny.

  3. “Most people are entirely ignorant of the fact that the Constitution was a pact among states.”

    Or that THEIR signature isn’t on it.

    Unfortunately, most people are entirely ignorant… period.

    At least as far as the NWO is concerned.
