READING TIME: 5 Minutes
SUMMARY: Conspiracy theories are the providence of the right. Ye Olde Blogge has examined enough of them. The left is equally as vulnerable, but really, it is MAGA that indulges that itch most regularly. However, this one fits together too perfectly. The necessity of having a foreign threat to election 2026 and having all of the pieces in place to “prove” it is just too much to pass up. We’ve got Maduro sitting in prison, Gabbard on station in Fulton County, and true believers leading the DoJ investigations. What else do you need? Oh, a fellow traveller now owning Dominion Voting Systems, i.e. all of their equipment, software, and data.
KEY WORDS: Conspiracy Theory, Election 2026, Stop the Steal, Election 2020, Nicholas Maduro, Venezuela, Fulton County, St Louis, Thomas Albus, Eric Schmidt, Liberty Vote, Tulsi Gabbard
COMMENT: What do you think? Is it a plausible theory? Do you think that forewarned is forearmed? Will the American people fall for this BS like we have so much else?

We all know that it is too easy to get carried away with half-truths half-baked theories that are only half related to some incredible outcome like Trump having lost the 2020 election in the heavily Democratic district encompassing Fulton County, Georgia. But, the pieces are starting to fit together in an enticing and unbelievable way unless, of course, you accept that conspiracy theorists are engineering everything to fit their theory of the case. Consider these facts of the Stop the Steal claims.
The Maduro-Venezuela Connection
There was widespread contention that there was some vague but certain connection between Dominion Voting Machines, Nicolás Maduro, and Venezuela interfering with the 2020 election to ensure that Trump lost and Biden was installed as a ChineseRussian puppet.
Depending on who was spinning the sugary-fine brittle and light cotton candy theory, it also involved Italian satellites and shadowy nameless Iranians. Of course none of this ever held up to the slightest scrutiny. Like cotton candy dissolving in the slightest exposure to water, it fell apart once anyone, and by anyone we mean a court of law through the Dominion lawsuits against Fox News and other rightwing outlets or in the lawsuits Rudy Giuliani lost his license over.
This aspect of the conspiracy has been thoroughly discredited until you remember that Nicolas Maduro sits in a New York jail awaiting trial and like Ghislaine Maxwell will say just about anything to validate a Trump’s delusions to get a pardon.
The Dominion Voting Machine Connection
Last October Dominion Voting Machines was bought by Liberty Vote owned by a Republican who once was an election official. Liberty Vote was founded by Scott Leiendecker, who was the election director for the city of St. Louis until 2012.
Okay, I can hear your skeptical selves muttering about being fair to Republicans because not all Republicans are Stop the Steal folks and 2012 was long long before the 2020 elections. Fair enough, but Liberty Vote released a statement calling its purchase of Dominion a “bold and historic move” designed to “improve election integrity in America,” all of which echoes Stop the Steal and current Republican election rhetoric.
Even though hand counts of ballots in the swing states of Wisconsin and Georgia and elsewhere have exonerated Dominion of any wrong doing in the 2020 election, all of their equipment, software, and records are now in the hands of an ostensibly sympathetic owner.
The St. Louis Connection
As stated Scott Leiendecker and Liberty Vote is headquartered in St Louis. Who else connected to all of this mess is from St Louis? Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmidt has extensive connections to St Louis, and he signed on to the corrupt Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s law suit trying to overturn the 2020 election results in four battleground states.
Thomas Albus who is now the Trump appointed prosecutor in the Eastern District f Missouri was appointed by Pam Blondi to investigate the 2020 election results in Fulton County, Georgia even though the statue of limitations has expired for any crimes committed then. Albus was once an assistant to Stop the Steal enthusiast AG Schmidt.
Now we have the true Stop the Steal Kool-Aide drinker, Thomas Albus, investigating an out of jurisdiction “crime” in Fulton County. As I understand it, the evidence needed to get a search warrant endorsed by a magistrate judge is pretty low, and we don’t know what evidence they presented to the judge. We just know that without extenuating circumstances being applied the 22-month statute of limitations for the misdemeanor and the five-year limitation for the felony that were listed in the warrant have expired. Nothing unusual happening here. Could it be Maduro and Liberty Vote testimony bearing fruit?
The Tulsi Gabbard Connection
Spotted cosplaying Carrie Mathison in Homeland was DNI Tulsi Gabbard, apparently recently released from the US government’s equivalent of a Siberian gulag. It is well-known to those who know it well that Gabbard, alleged Russian agent, has been on the outs with El Dunce since her appointment. Now Trump is saying that she has been assigned to investigate the 2020 elections.
Many pundits have professed that this makes no sense since the DNI is by necessity focused on foreign adversaries, not American domestic elections regulated and administered by the states. So, what possible foreign connection is there to the 2020 elections that might warrant Gabbard skulking in the shadows using her cellphone — government issued and encrypted or private? — during the raid? Might she be there because of the Maduro-Venezuela connection?
The US Military Connection
Famously, Ditch said in a NY Times interview earlier in January that he regretted not using the national guard to seize voting machines after the 2020 election as per Sydney Powell’s recommendation. In order to do so, though, he would need a pretext, a threat to national security, since the federal government plays a limited role in elections, including federal elections, and the President has no legal role to play at all.
The military is barred from operating within the national borders except in very limited circumstances, so to order a military intervention in an election, El Grand Narcisista would need some type of threat to national security involving a foreign actor.
Since El Payaso Naranja fears a third impeachment above all other impending humiliations that he is about to face, he is desperate to hold onto the House of Representatives. Clearly, he understands that the mid-terms are likely to go against him in a landslide that will overshadow his 2018 losses. He feels he has no choice but to steal the 2026 elections.
He’ll need every trick available to him. He’s already gerrymandering every seat he can get. He’s hoping that the Supremes will gut Article II of the Voting Rights Act and the Southern States will gerrymander every Black district out of existence — if that happens, he won’t need anything else, but it is unlikely to happen so close to the election. He’s got national guard and ICE agents terrorizing the streets gearing up to sending them to Blue strongholds in Red States like Atlanta and Houston so they can crack heads — literally — at polling stations. He’ll need to reduce mail in voting and early voting, thus the desperate ploys to access state voting rolls. And, should that not be enough, he will seize voting machines and insert whatever evidence they “discover” in the thoroughly examined voting data and archives taken from Fulton County.
The raid on Fulton County and the resulting evidence of voter fraud is a dry run for 2026 and beyond. That really is the only conclusion. If Maduro offers any testimony or evidence of supporting voting fraud, you know what is up. If they find evidence of voting fraud in the Fulton County records, you know what is up. If they use Liberty Vote machines in the upcoming elections, you know what is up.
Election 2026 will be the most threatened election in our lifetime. Mike Johnson refuses to seat a duly elected representative. Mitch McConnell refused to hold a vote on a Supreme Court appointee. Trump orchestrated a coup. Do you think they won’t just refuse to follow the Constitution and election laws?
Whatever happens in Election 2026, my prediction is that it is decided in the streets, pitting local population and police forces against federal agents and military. It’s going to be touch and go. We all need to face it now and start making decisions about what we’re willing to do and how we’re going to get it done.

The Psy of Life 
It’s one thing to get a search warrant from a loyal judge. It is quite another to get an indictment from a grand jury if you don’t happen to pick the right jurors. And, given the expired statutes of limitations and other irregularities, Fulton County has ample grounds to litigate to get their records back. I think, after what they went through with the original fraud claims, they have backup copies of everything that could be backed up. But, The point of the raid and case isn’t to get a conviction of anybody. An actual prosecution wouldn’t likely get to in front of a jury before the 2028 election was long over (assuming it happens at all). It’s just to try to breath new life into the stolen election lies, and justify more election interference and rigging.
I fine it a bit difficult to picture Maduro trusting a pardon promise from Trump. He must know that with Trump deals, you have to get the money up front. But could Trump trust him to stick to the story if he got the pardon and out of the country first? Nope!

this is one of the, OLDEST TRICKS in the book, and, unfortunately, the people are still, too DUMB to know it, and so, that’s why they’re, still, too gullible, completely, easily, manipulated by a PSYCHOPATH president like Trump, despite how ALL the FACTS point in ALL the OPPOSITE directions, and, people are simply just, too blind, OR too DUMB, or, BOTH, and, unfortunately, this is how the masses still get manipulated to follow this circus led by fools!
