— On Nov. 5, ELECTION DAY, there will be a special cybersecurity exercise at the Conference.
Get this. The exercise is described as a large-scale interactive event, with participants from federal, state, county, city government agencies, academia, and industry.
The exercise will simulate a cyber-attack on "critical infrastructure."
That's right. It's a so-called "Jack Voltaic"-type exercise, which was developed to test responses to attacks on large infrastructures.
QUITE odd to schedule the exercise on Election Day.
QUITE odd to run an exercise simulating a cyber-attack on critical infrastructure ON ELECTION DAY, especially since electronic voting across the nation IS a piece of critical infrastructure.
IF bad actors were looking to mess with electronic voting, this exercise would create a reasonable cover and method.
If the actors wanted to rig electronic voting and needed an excuse to explain "anomalies" in the vote count, or to explain a sudden shut-down of key voting precincts, the cyber-exercise would provide those explanations.
"Well, you see, there was a temporary glitch owing to the fact that, parallel to Election Day voting, Homeland Security was running a crucial but unrelated cyber-exercise, and 'wires were crossed,' so to speak..."
"Nothing to see here, the problem was fixed, and the exercise proceeded, as did the vote count. Occasionally, these things happen. Homeland Security assures us that voting was not impeded..."
"Of course, some people are spreading rumors and conspiracy theories about 'altered vote counts'. These accusations are entirely unfounded. The Homeland Security exercise had nothing to do with the vote count..."
"Accusations of vote rigging are very serious. They could be, in some cases, considered a form of election interference (if we, the government, want to shut people up and shut them down and obscure what we're really doing)..."
— But again, scheduling a major Homeland Security cyber-exercise simulating an attack on critical infrastructure? ON ELECTION DAY? Really?
At the very least, it's a great way for government to get people to distrust government.
CODA: You might be interested in reading the Wikipedia entry for the group, AFCEA, which is sponsoring the upcoming November Conference and the cyber-security exercise. It reads in part:
"Armed Forces Communications & Electronics Association International (AFCEA), established in 1946, is a nonprofit membership association serving the military, government, industry, and academia as a forum for advancing professional knowledge and relationships in the fields of communications, information technology, intelligence and global security. AFCEA provides a forum for military, government, academic and industry communities with altogether more than 30,000 members. AFCEA supports local chapters, sponsors events, publishes a magazine, promotes STEM education and provides member benefits.
"SIGNAL, not to be confused with the German Signal magazine, is a monthly [AFCEA] international news magazine targeting government, military and industry professionals active in the information technology and intelligence fields. The magazine was started in 1946. Among the topics covered in the magazine are command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C4ISR); information security; cybersecurity; research and development; artificial intelligence, machine learning, big data, cloud technologies, electronics; and homeland security."

Jeesh - they must think we all are cattle...
As for having reserves on "hand" - that takes advance planning - I do have some "stashes" set aside - just in case, but I consider them sort of "insurance" and truly hope it doesn't come to this.
As for the "vote" - you know my sentiment - and I reckon time will tell....

How much more obvious can they be?
So, when something goes wrong, as happens in 'tests' and 'simulations', they can say 'oops, sorry - cancel those election results, the infrastructure was broken, and we have to try again'.
So the military planes don't scramble to intercept, and the terrorist airplane decoys(for narrative purposes) ram into the trade towers, and then soon after the neutron bomb explosives(planted earlier) demo the buildings.
As mentioned before, the US consitution nowhere states that the public vote determines the president. The determining factor is the vote in the house of representatives. Which will probably ignore those results, and elect the candidate they are told to - like 4 years ago, on demand of Pelosi.
I think they are dead set on proceeding this way, they only fear the public backlash. Which can (and I think, will) lead to civil war eventually.
Good for those who are watching, I suppose... Scary that lots of people accept, normalize or completely ignore whatever they pull now.
Cause - fool me once, shame on you - fool us twice - fuck you.
So know your place - and don't be on a leash - but if you cause harm "collectively" Wolfpacks are at the ready to hunt you down to extermination.
Not kidding around.

Wolfpacks vs Wolfpacks is not my kind of show. The whole show i leave and trust to the locals here. That's the plan though, misbegotten.(i had to look up 2 words this week so far. Appreciated.👍)
Wolfpacks are all advised to have their own areas - and the wolves already know how to do this - it is a 6th sense they have I suspect - anyhow - lots of easy prey - so happy hunting!
I send a howl in the wind to the other packs of wolves out there - us ones in Carolina area play for keeps and evidently tis now:
Game On
time.
Hope you are ready - wolves on the hunt are vicious and ruthless and eat the prey versus taking prisoners and while the wolves can be satiated - it takes a lot of meat to make this come to fruition.
I vote NOTA.

By the way, I sure hope that ain't "Queen Charlotte" in your image there Boris - cause she was married to George the 3rd, and there was a revolt against that crazy effer - and so maybe the city I reside needs a new name - what you think?
Maybe Borisville?
Ken
ps - fetching ain't she:

Do you like my current image? I think she was a remarkable woman and certainly not a door mat like Charlotte. She also heralded from your neck of the woods in North Carolina: Dolley Madison American first lady: [Link] To me she was beautiful both inside and out(even when she was old). What do you think? I can change to some bimbo if you insist? Nothing in my name dear Buffalo_Ken. My boss Mr. Big said we are not here to smell the flowers and frolic in ponds! There are still great mysteries we need to solve so we can put it all together and win the human race!
!
You got me on that one....
well done!
BK
So - me and Dolly I got a feeling would have gotten along splendidly and we might even one time got into a discussion about Franklin, but then we would have both burst out laughing....and that would have been fun!
Thanks....for making the effort...and Dolly rumor has it was a fine host at any Party in the Whitehouse, but she was NOT the "talk of the town" - Lincoln's wife is a whole nether story - as Lincoln is as well....
And Jackson - loved to party at the Whitehouse - and the peasants came storming in at his inauguration, but nobody got arrested I don't think....kind of full circle on that for the DNC I suppose!
