Maricopa Sheriff: We’re compromised and don’t even know it.

Maricopa Sheriff Penzone issued a statement regarding the election system routers the county is refusing to turn over to auditors.

Key point:

“The integrity of classified data, private information and law enforcement specific material would immediately be vulnerable and exposed, regardless of the steps promised by a private vendor who states otherwise.”

The integrity of all that was already compromised when the county stupidly and insanely used the general county network for the election system.

I have a bit of experience with computer networks that need to be secured against general access. Rule 1: Don’t tie systems together unnecessarily (like Worldcom did in the ’90s*).

Interestingly, Penzone claims turning over the routers could reveal “individual passwords.” What would those passwords be?

Obviously, they could include router administrator passwords; but how many people needed admin access to routers? If everyone in the MCSO had that, then — again — his network is already compromised.

Perhaps these are WiFi routers using WPA2 security, and the passwords are for individual users. But the election system isn’t supposed to have general WiFi access. Compromised.

Sheriff, your whole county was compromised when some idiot — who probably thought he was saving money — used the existing county network for the election system instead of springing for a secure and isolated election network. Blame him, not the Senate and the auditors.


* Worldcom decided to put all their DCS, muxes, SONET, etc., across the country, on one big WAN. In itself, not a prob. The NOC needed access to the systems. But they did two things very, very wrong:

1. They kept all the default admin passwords from the factory. Poor security. No security.

2. They left in place old legacy dialup modems that were tied into the local networks of individual POPs. And those dialups were not password protected.

Anyone, anywhere in the world could dial in to those modems and run rampant through nationwide network of the largest long distance provider in the country (at the time). A prankster could do anything he wished using default passwords, and much of the older systems that were hooked in used no passwwords. A malicious person could have killed the Internet (Worldcom did it at least once), and shut down US long distance phone service (mostly through cascading SS7 failures; I saw that happen, too, with another company. Way to go, Sparky.).

Commenting on the ATF’s NPRM Redefining “Firearm”

I’ve gone over the alleged — but not publishedNotice of Proposed Rule-Making. While this version clearly shows lineage with the earlier leaked draft, some of the more psychotic elements are gone, but replaced with vague, arbitrary arrogations of Congressional authority. It’s almost as if they read my remarks on their draft.

The ATF gives the docket number for this as “ATF 2021R-05.” When this finally appears on Regulations.gov, I intend to file the following comment.


COMMENT

The ATF takes note of the fact that existing law, as written and passed by Congress, does not define “firearm” to include many types of implements including AR-pattern arms with separate upper and lower “receivers,” (split-frame) semiautomatic handguns with separate slides and “frames,” or striker-fired implements. The Notice of Proposed Rule-Making pretends that these are recent innovations that Congress could not have envisioned, and thus the ATF must broaden the language of the law to catch up. I have multiple objections to this. Continue reading Commenting on the ATF’s NPRM Redefining “Firearm”

On the downside, CDC is doing CYA for government murders.

Had you heard about all the “excess” deaths during the plandemic, due to people not having access to nonChinCOVID medial care, or being too frightened/paranoid to access what was there? The CDC is about to call those “COVID-specific.”

CDC to examine report putting US COVID deaths at more than 900,000
The head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Friday that the agency will look “carefully” at a new report that claims the true number of COVID-19 deaths in the US is more than 36 percent higher than the official total.
[…]
“We’ve known that the toll of this pandemic is not necessarily just those who’ve passed from COVID-19 specifically, but excess deaths relating to access to care, not presenting to care, and many other things,” CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky told reporters Friday. “So, we will look at this carefully, and then we will work within the CDC to make decisions as to whether to count them as excess or to count them as COVID-specific.”

I have a better idea. Those people didn’t die of ChinCOVID. They didn’t die of a pandemic. What killed them was deliberate government-induced panic and deliberate — and insane — government policies and actions. Manslaughter at best, murder at worst. We need a new ICD-10 code: Z60.10 Death due to government.

You could break it down further:

  • Z60.10.1 death due to federal government
  • Z60.10.2 death due to state government
  • Z60.10.3 death due to local government
  • Z60.10.4 death due to Cuomo (yeah, that fucker deserves his own code)

On the up side, CDC finally admitted ChinCOVID spreads as aerosols.

Yep, the CDC discovered what every other virologist on the planet has known about air transmission of virus (not just SARS-CoV-2): it spreads as aerosols. Go figure.

But I see they still recommend wearing “barrier face coverings, procedure/surgical masks” that cannot stop aerosols.

HOT: The ATF’s Notice of Proposed Rule-Making on Firearm Redefinition Has Been “Published”

The Department of Justice “issued a notice of proposed rulemaking” on Friday afternoon — but of course, when few will notice. This is the one TZP recently warned was coming.

Except.. not really. It has not been published in the Federal Register/Regulations.gov as of 5/7/2021, 5:00PM ET. A search on neither “firearm” nor “Docket No. ATF 2021R-05” returns any docket. Therefore, despite the DOJ’s claim, commenting online is not possible yet.

You may download a copy of what the ATF purports to be the NPRM from their website. I have done so, and will analyze it to see where and how it differs from the leaked draft I previously picked apart. But this is my normal quitting time for the day, so I’m not sure quickly I’ll make headway

As expected, Dominion has the Maricopa admin password.

And they’re refusing to give it to the auditors.

In his interview with OAN Ken Bennett said Dominion is refusing to comply with the State Senate’s subpoena and is hiding the second password for their machines.

Anyone familiar with AZ law on refusing to comply with a Senate subpoena? Seems like a crime to me. Let me do a little searching…

Added: There it is.

41-1154. Disobedience of legislative subpoena or refusal to give testimony or produce papers; violation; classification

A person who, being subpoenaed to attend as a witness before either house of the legislature or any committee thereof, knowingly fails or refuses without lawful excuse to attend pursuant to such subpoena, or being present knowingly refuses to be sworn or to answer any material or proper question, or to produce, upon ON reasonable notice, any material and relevant books, papers or documents in his THE PERSON’S possession or under his THE PERSON’S control, is guilty of a class 2 misdemeanor AND IN ADDITION TO ANY OTHER FINE AUTHORIZED BY LAW, THE COURT MAY IMPOSE A FINE OF $1,000 PER DAY.

13-707. Misdemeanors; sentencing

A. A sentence of imprisonment for a misdemeanor shall be for a definite term to be served other than a place within custody of the state department of corrections. The court shall fix the term of imprisonment within the following maximum limitations:

1. For a class 1 misdemeanor, six months.

2. For a class 2 misdemeanor, four months.

3. For a class 3 misdemeanor, thirty days.

The lawyers should have expensive fun arguing this one.

AOC A “Planned Parenthood Baby”

I was going to ignore this one because it’s just too easy. But it does explain a lot.

I figure that means she was a failed abortion attempt which resulted in fetal brain damage.

“News” Reporting

There’s a guy in a stand-off with police near here.

One outlet says he’s on the Interstate. Another says he’s on an intersecting highway. News4Jax also says the highway; but their reporting is so bad that I dropped them from my bookmarks more than a year ago.

All three agree that he’s barricaded in a vehicle. One says he’s naked (News4Jax). No photos.

News4Jax also says he deliberately crashed his car (others only say “vehicle”) into a ditch. No one else is mentioning a crash.

—-

Lessee, FCN now says he’s at the truck stop, not the road. BN still says side of the road. News4Jax: still in the ditch.
—-

Ah, FCN has now figured out that the guy is on the highway. But while the other two says this is near a Love’s truck stop, FCN says Pilot, and they’ve dropped any mention of an alleged bomb.

News4Jax still says he’s naked. No one else does.

FCN: “truck”
BN: “vehicle”
News4Jax: “car”

—-
FCN: “vehicle” again, and the stand-off continues at the truck stop
BN: suspect in custody (and note that this report is older than FCN update), and it was on the side of the road
News4Jax: in custody, it was in the ditch, and he was still naked


FCN: now he was naked, and in custody,cops fired two shots
BN: no change the vehicle is now an SUV, and no explosives found, and the cops had offered him underwear
News4Jax: cops fired two “gas cartridges: and tased him,


Added: I figure when all’s said and done, the truth ‘ll turn out to be that a shirtless guy pulled over, got out and told bystanders he stopped because, “Man, I’m so bombed.” In light of the diverging vehicle reports, it’s probably gonna be a motorcycle.
