Update: Third Whistleblower—Israel, the Stolen 2024 Election, and the Epstein Files

How a transnational crime syndicate is influencing U.S. and global politics, and what it will take to stop it.

For over a year, we’ve tracked a global hybrid warfare operation combining cyberattacks, financial manipulation, satellite technology, political influence, and foreign election interference into a single interconnected system.

Then last week, six House Democrats crossed party lines to approve the Fiscal Year 2027 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). The $1.15 trillion defense policy bill outlines sweeping military funding, includes Section 219 directing the Pentagon to expand and accelerate joint military research, development, and industrial co-production with Israel, and incorporates the SAVE Act.

If it feels like nothing the Democrats are doing makes sense, welcome to the club.

Despite the overwhelming unpopularity of the war with Iran, continued funding for Israel, and the SAVE Act, six Democrats helped ensure that the NDAA passed by a vote of 216–212.

Seven Republicans voted against the legislation, meaning that if Hakeem Jeffries had whipped his caucus, the bill would have failed.

Those Democrats need to answer for their votes.

And then we have the third whistleblower, who implicated Israel in the manipulation of the 2024 election:

“Safra Catz, Larry Ellison, Eran Feiganbaum, and Lindsey Graham are NSO senior leadership.”

NSO is the Israeli surveillance technology company whose Pegasus spyware has drawn international scrutiny over its use against journalists, activists, lawyers, and political figures.

And now Larry Ellison, whose son David appears in the Epstein files, has parlayed Trump’s second presidency into an unprecedented consolidation of major media companies and social media platforms, including Paramount, CBS, and TikTok, and is now wielding that influence to halt the free press.

From the 2024 transcript:

TWH: “Intricacies such as…?”

WB: “Why Gelsinger’s exit happened when it did; the CBS sale; why JP Morgan funded Epstein; Lindsey Graham’s October 2024 visit with Oracle in Israel; the NSO Group activity that led to the WhatsApp case; and the subsequent series of rulings not involving Meta or OpenAI.”

TWH: “All of which is tied to the 2024 election?”

WB: “Yes. And the Epstein files. It’s not just ‘the Epstein list’—it’s a decades-long effort with multiple layers. Check out his [Epstein’s] travel, October through early-November 2016. And again, note Sen. Graham’s early-October 2024 visit to Israel.”

TWH: “That date looks off… Was it the following week? If the Epstein files and breach logs were released, wouldn’t that clean the system out?”

WB: “You’re probably right on the date. Clean? How much of the world economy is managed by very few people? ‘Cataclysm’ comes to mind.”

TWH: “So much of what they’re doing is unconstitutional. Crimes against humanity are on the rise across the globe. Who has proof of the NSA-authorized audit, and why are they sitting on it?”

WB: “Constiwhat? Think about the players involved and ask yourself that question again. Multiple individuals have the data. I’ll be traveling; I need to be where the banks aren’t controlled by JPM.”

TWH: “Would the data shore up the November numbers?”

WB: “Yes. It’s 100% Pentagon-certified that she won.”

According to the whistleblower, Israel is neck-deep in the manipulation of U.S. elections, and it’s been a “decades-long effort.” We also now know that Epstein was believed to be an intelligence asset working with Israel and Russia, collecting kompromat on billionaires and some of the world’s most influential political leaders.

Which makes this a really difficult follow-up to write.

Last week, we participated in an insightful Zoom in which people who were on the ground in Ohio in 2004 described the chaos surrounding that election.

They also described how John Kerry’s response to being told the election had been stolen from him was to go windsurfing.

The media barely covered it.

The Democrats wouldn’t talk about it.

Twenty-two years later, nothing has changed.

At some point, we have to acknowledge that Republicans haven’t won a legitimate presidency since Eisenhower and ask Democrats why they continue to roll over in the face of blatant corruption and election theft.

Ask Marc Elias why he advised John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, and Kamala Harris not to challenge their election results.

Sure, he’s the DNC’s go-to lawyer and has more than sixty lawsuits in the queue, but he wouldn’t be nearly this busy if Republicans weren’t repeatedly given the green light to steal elections.

Experts were presenting data that showed evidence of manipulation in all three elections, so why did he advise them to stand down?

We also need to ask Democrats why they continue to cross party lines to support legislation that most Americans oppose.

Some of these Democrats campaigning on the “abolish ICE” platform are the same ones who voted to pass the Laken Riley Act—which they knew would eliminate due process for immigrants.

46 Democrats in the House and 12 in the Senate.

They also need to answer for that vote.

It's time for a new Progressive Era, and we need to get real about who our elected officials actually represent.

In 2014, researchers Martin Gilens of Princeton University and Benjamin Page of Northwestern University published a landmark study analyzing 1,779 U.S. policy decisions made between 1981 and 2002.

Their findings should have woken up the country if we had a functioning media.

The researchers found that the policy preferences of American citizens had statistically near-zero independent impact on whether legislation was adopted.

Instead, the preferences of economic elites and corporate business interests were most strongly associated with policy outcomes.

The American people benefited when their interests happened to coincide with those of the wealthy.

Considering the impact Citizens United has had on the political landscape, if those researchers were to repeat their analysis using data from 2003 to the present, one might expect the influence of wealthy individuals and corporate interests to be even more pronounced than in the original study.

And yet we still call ourselves a “representative” democracy.

The Biggest Political Coverup In History

Which brings us to Jeffrey Epstein.

The Epstein files expose a decades-long network of powerful individuals whose relationships spanned politics, finance, intelligence, and international business, which we covered in The Octopus.

They also raise profound questions about institutions—including the U.S. Department of Justice and other government agencies—and why they failed to fully investigate or prosecute influential figures, allowing those with wealth and power to evade accountability.

As heartbreaking as it is to hear the survivors' harrowing stories, the broader implications are equally disturbing.

Vulnerable girls and young women were systematically exploited to gather compromising information on influential people—and their abuse became a means of exerting influence over governments, economies, and the balance of global power.

These survivors were not only victims of sexual exploitation; they were also victims of a system that weaponized human trafficking for political and financial leverage.

“In December 2024, I was personally involved in an NSA‑authorized forensic audit of the 2024 election. Kamala Harris and Tim Walz won—by a wide margin. Trump lost dramatically. There are multiple layers of complexity to this cover‑up, including transnational organized crime syndicates that extend far beyond the United States and our elections. To that point, I work in the human trafficking sector, which intersects with the stolen election(s) and has ties to Trump and Epstein—not to President Biden, Vice President Harris, or Governor Walz, but to the Democrats and other allied interests responsible for burying the audit.”— Adam Zarnowski, former CIA agent and author of Jörmungandr

Naturally, the NSA cannot confirm or deny that the audit exists.

We asked.

But we’ve seen the names released in the three million Epstein files: top political donors from both sides of the aisle, world leaders, and men who, to put it simply, run the world, as the third whistleblower said.

Leon Black and Jes Staley would much rather write enormous checks to survivors and retreat from public view for a while than stand trial and face the consequences of their actions.

So far, there are twenty-six other powerful men who likely feel the same way.

Donald Trump didn’t win the election in 2016 or 2024.

He was put in office by billionaires and foreign interests seeking to capitalize on his willingness to destroy the country for their mutual benefit while avoiding Epstein-related investigations and potential prison sentences.

The Epstein Node

By February 1988, Jeffrey Epstein was managing Lex Wexner’s finances. That same month, the Wexner Heritage Foundation hosted a national fundraising retreat in Palm Beach titled Models of Ethical Leadership. The keynote speaker: Benjamin Netanyahu.

In 1991, Wexner and Charles Bronfman helped establish a private “Study Group,” later known as the MEGA Group—a network of wealthy businessmen focused on philanthropic and strategic initiatives related to Israel, including Hillel International, as well as institutions shaping U.S. foreign policy discourse such as the Washington Institute for Near East Policy.

In July 1991, Wexner granted Epstein power of attorney over his entire estate. Epstein also served as a trustee of the Wexner Foundation from 1991 to 2007. To outside observers, he appeared to have parlayed his time at Bear Stearns into one of the most powerful financial positions imaginable.

But the structure of that access raises questions.

This is where concepts like “honey traps” and kompromat become relevant.

Epstein had no formal financial credentials and lacked the pedigree typical of elite finance circles, yet was granted extraordinary control over wealth and access to influential networks. To most observers, that trajectory is difficult to explain.

Unless something else was at work. Something more sinister than anyone could have known at the time.

An intelligence operation—designed to elevate Zionism as a priority within the U.S. government, to sustain funding and access for Israel’s nuclear program, and to do so by cultivating influence over powerful decision-makers by luring them into Epstein’s depraved circle.

And it has paid off in spades.

Since 1948, the United States has given Israel over $300 billion in total economic and military assistance adjusted for inflation, making Israel the largest recipient of U.S. foreign aid since World War II. Non-inflation-adjusted totals sit at roughly $174 to $210+ billion in assistance.

And since the October 7, 2023 attacks, the United States has provided Israel with at least $21.7 billion in direct military aid. When including related U.S. military operations in the Middle East (such as operations in the Red Sea and counter-actions against Iran and the Houthis), total U.S. spending connected to the conflict rises to between $31.35 billion and $33.77 billion, according to the Costs of War Project at Brown University.

To be clear: Israel has the right to defend itself.

But considering the intelligence given to Netanyahu before the October 7 attack, the decision to move IDF troops away from the area beforehand, the subsequent devastation of Gaza, the deaths of seventy thousand Palestinians, and the Netanyahu-Trump-Kushner plans to develop “waterfront” property there, it’s difficult to view this as anything other than a genocidal real estate deal.

Which brings us back to Section 219 in last week’s NDAA vote in the House, and the six Democrats who crossed party lines to ensure it passed by a vote of 216-212.

According to Rep. Massie (R-KY):

“This goes well beyond our pre-existing military relationships, such as with Five Eyes nations, or our more conventional defense partnerships with foreign militaries that are typically limited to information sharing, joint exercises, or bilateral development of specific weapons contracts.”

He called the provision an “unprecedented escalation of foreign involvement” and said its enactment would amount to Congress “fully capitulating our nation’s autonomy to foreign influence.”

The deepening military alignment between the United States and Israel. Continued U.S. support for Netanyahu’s genocide in Gaza that most Americans oppose. And a long-sought war with Iran over nuclear capabilities that experts say do not exist—a war that four U.S. presidents declined to initiate with Netanyahu.

These are not policies with public support.

Yet six House Democrats voted for them.

Why?

Foreign Interference

Seth Abramson’s Red Sea Conspiracy is alive and well.

The countries involved are benefiting from this corrupt regime, with the exception of the United States, which is being gutted and sold for parts at the expense of the American people.

Israel is the most obvious beneficiary as the United States continues to fund Netanyahu’s genocide in Gaza and co-sign the war with Iran.

Need further proof? On July 22, 2026, the United States and Saudi Arabia signed a “123” civilian nuclear cooperation agreement, paving the way for American firms to build reactors in the kingdom.

The UAE has gained expanded access to coveted U.S. artificial intelligence chips after aiding in the Iran war, and U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) recently announced an agreement to establish the first bilateral task force focused on accelerating the development of military artificial intelligence applications.

We covered the UAE and its collusion with Elon Musk to interfere in the 2024 election in this article:

The company established U.S. roots in Minnesota, meaning the state’s attorney general, MN AG Keith Ellison, has standing to open an investigation into foreign election interference.

In fact, given that Musk was targeting the swing states, one could argue that every affected state has a stake in the matter.

So why is no one investigating the Aleria platform or Musk’s access to real-time delta vote metrics?

And then there’s Putin, getting exactly what he wants from Trump: eased sanctions and the withdrawal of U.S. support for Ukraine.

That should come as no surprise, given Trump’s decades-long documented ties to Russian oligarchs and longstanding reporting by Craig Unger and others that his real estate projects are being used as Russian financial laundromats.

Donald Trump wasn’t elected by the people.

He was put in the White House because of his corruption, and, as Jeffrey Epstein’s closest friend, he could be controlled.

The July 2026 CISA Report

And now for the technology.

Yes, Trump has gutted CISA and the EAC. But before terminating personnel in those agencies, they were doing important work. In a July 2026 CISA report summarizing a five-year study conducted from 2019 to 2024, these were some of the key findings:

“The following technical risks predictably arise from this complex environment:

• Vendors often cannot ship security fixes outside narrow certification cycles without jeopardizing eligibility for upcoming elections.

• Third-party components embedded in election systems (operating systems [OS], device drivers, middleware, cryptographic libraries) cannot be patched at normal modern software cadence.

• Legacy OS baselines and unsupported runtime components accumulate unpatched vulnerabilities.

• The absence of secure auto-update mechanisms prevents rapid response to zero-day threats.

In practice, these constraints produce environments where known, documented vulnerabilities persist for months or years on production election systems, increasing exposure to opportunistic and targeted threats. The election vendors’ reluctance to publicly disclose vulnerabilities in certified products further limits state, local, tribal, and territorial (SLTT) operators’ ability to make informed risk decisions, perform compensating control analysis, or adjust architectural segmentation.”

“In multiple cases, CISA assessors gained full network control within hours or days, demonstrating that many SLTT partners remain soft targets incapable of stopping even moderately skilled adversaries.”

This ties directly to what we’ve uncovered about election equipment companies operating within a far-right ecosystem and deliberately using equipment that is vulnerable to manipulation.

But CISA took it even further:

“Segmentation Failures Against Vendor Threat Models

Election vendor threat models typically assume that there is strong network segmentation between election systems-such as voter registration databases, electronic pollbooks, election management systems/tabulation systems, and central scanning infrastructure-from general enterprise IT environments. However, CISA assessments from 2019-2024 repeatedly showed:

• Election systems were reachable from enterprise hosts due to shared authentication domains, legacy VLAN configurations, or “temporary” exceptions that become permanent;

• Inadequate firewall rule hygiene, with over-broad allow rules and insufficient egress controls;

• Election infrastructure that is co-located on general purpose virtualization clusters that also host public facing workloads; and

• Overreliance on “airgap” assumptions that do not reflect actual connectivity (e.g., vendor support tunnels, unmonitored remote management tools, or indirect network paths).

These misalignments between theoretical and actual deployment models create exploitable pathways for adversaries capable of moving from commodity phishing based initial access to high value election assets.”

Election systems were reachable from enterprise hosts due to shared authentication domains... vendor support tunnels... indirect network paths.

These specific vulnerabilities could have provided the access point for the post-tabulation database intrusion and the fake county vote banks that we identified in the swing states and Florida, addressed in this article:

This is how millions of legitimate votes for Kamala Harris were removed and replaced with illegitimate votes for Donald Trump.

The millions of votes we watched disappear in real time across the swing states and Florida on Election Night—and why the data appears to show Democrats voting blue down ballot while flipping to Trump at the top of the ticket.

Again, this anomaly occurred only in the swing states.

The WhatsApp Bridge Capture

According to the whistleblower, following the NSA-authorized audit, the DoD/DISA dismantled a WhatsApp bridge on December 11—not merely severing a connection, but capturing an unprecedented cache of data containing proof of commands, uplinks, and real-time manipulation signals from Election Day.

The cache contained:

• Commands from Oracle-Israel / NSO Group directing vote manipulations

• Timestamps matching PolyMarket betting spikes

• Starlink uplink logs, showing when and where satellites transmitted data to voting infrastructure

• Financial transaction metadata, connecting the voting outcomes to immediate hedging and profit-taking

And as the CISA report highlights, despite claims of security, U.S. election infrastructure is deeply fragmented and inconsistently regulated across thousands of counties—making it more vulnerable, not less.

The unprecedented and illegal breach of voting equipment in 2020–2021 by individuals aligned with Trump compromised election integrity across multiple states. That breach, paired with the rollout of Starlink’s direct-to-cell (DTC) satellite capabilities, created the perfect conditions for undetectable interference.

And there have been no ground-level whistleblowers.
Starlink’s low-Earth orbit DTC system removed the human risk factor, replacing local intrusions with a single, centralized exploit.

“I’m feeling more optimistic after tonight. Tomorrow we unleash the anomaly in the matrix.”

“This isn’t something on the chessboard, so they’ll be quite surprised. ‘Lasers’ from space.” – Elon Musk, October 5, 2024

Now Elon Musk is announcing plans for a massive GOP push in the midterms, resurrecting his America PAC. We already know it didn’t register any voters; instead, it served as a voter-information harvesting platform.

The narrative around Trump’s efforts to gain access to ballots is that it’s about voter purges. We think it’s something else entirely: harvesting voter information to replicate the 2024 vote banks.

And the consolidation of .gov websites containing voters’ personally identifiable information (PII) under the Executive Branch serves the same purpose.

At this point, it’s hard not to ask: Who isn’t hacking U.S. elections?

In 2016, Russia was flagrantly infiltrating our election systems, yet the party that benefited faced no consequences. In fact, the Epstein Files prove collusion between Epstein, Peter Thiel, and Russia to rig the election for Donald Trump.

And the Democrats continue to remain silent.

Signs of manipulation were again evident in the 2020 election, but the surge in Democratic mail-in ballots made that election an outlier. Which helps explain Trump’s push for the SAVE Act and his war on mail-in voting.

And as covered, 2024 saw manipulation involving Israel, Russia, the UAE, and Elon Musk.

Elon Musk’s conversation with Tucker Carlson:

Carlson: “So you’re not going to the gulag, it turns out.”

Musk: “Well, not immediately. I mean, maybe in five years. I don’t know. They might be pretty grumpy about this one. Um, but, uh, I think I’ve got at least several years before I go to the gulag.”

Yes, a stolen election is indeed a reason to be “pretty grumpy.”

At this point, it’s difficult to use the word “democracy” when our elections no longer reflect the will of the people.

And they haven’t for decades.

The GOP has had a lock on election equipment companies housed within its far-right ecosystem since the 1970s. The corrupt relationships among equipment vendors, the companies tasked with certifying the equipment, and the EAC have been well documented in court.

Election and cybersecurity experts have been analyzing the data and warning Congress about election equipment vulnerabilities since the 2000 election—yet they stop just short of saying the elections have been manipulated, arguing that we don’t have definitive “proof.”

As if the Caltech and MIT study revealing the disappearance of close to six million votes in the 2000 election wasn’t enough?

And what continues to go unmentioned is that the system is designed to make obtaining that “proof” extraordinarily difficult.

States have made it increasingly challenging to access ballots for meaningful recounts and full audits of contested races, and by the time litigation works its way through the courts, it’s time for another election using the same voting equipment.

Who benefits?

The wealthy elites. The military-industrial complex pushing their forever wars. Foreign nations looking to capitalize on corruption and chaos.

How Do We Fix It?

In the short term, governors should use their emergency powers to implement contingency voting procedures using paper ballots scanned locally while bypassing electronic reporting systems. Report precinct results by telephone, as was done before electronic reporting systems became widespread.

Long term, there are multiple approaches. Some experts advocate paper ballots with manual counts, while others support open-source election systems. In either case, the goal is the same: keep the vote private, but make the counting of votes public.

We have options.

And states have the power to deliver justice but not if they refuse to use it. This is where the people can make all the difference.

Call to Action

Contact your elected officials to demand investigations and the implementation of emergency powers to protect the midterms.

We have constitutional avenues to remove this entire illegitimate regime, but those avenues begin with state-led investigations and winning the midterms.

Who you are contacting: one of your two state legislators and your state attorney general.

You can find the state attorneys general and their contact information here: National Association of Attorneys General

And one of your two state legislators. Find them at: openstates.org/find_your_legislator.

Every office has a scheduler, and you can request a meeting through the contact form or by calling the office directly.

What you are asking for: a 15-minute meeting with the legislator, attorney general, or a member of their staff. A virtual meeting is perfectly acceptable.

You do not have to be an election expert. You are a constituent asking what your elected officials intend to do in response to concerns about election security, election interference, and public confidence in the electoral process.

Explain that you saw millions of votes disappear in real time on Election Night 2024, you’ve reviewed the recent CISA report and have concerns about Elon Musk, election interference, and vulnerabilities affecting election infrastructure, and that you are troubled that your state has not publicly addressed those concerns.

Ask your legislator and attorney general to support contingency voting procedures while investigations are conducted, with the goal of improving transparency, strengthening election security, and restoring public confidence.

Share this article before the meeting and ask that they review it in advance.

How: Reach out to offer a few dates and times that work for you.

During the meeting:

• Explain why election integrity is important to you as a constituent.

• Ask whether your state plans to review the findings discussed in the recent CISA report.

• Ask what oversight, investigations, audits, or legislative actions they support to strengthen election security and restore public confidence.

• Ask whether they believe additional transparency measures are warranted and, if so, what those measures should be.

• Ask what specific actions they intend to take and on what timeline.

If you call the State Attorney General’s Office:

“Hello, my name is [Name], and I live in [City]. I’d like to schedule a 15-minute meeting with the Attorney General or a member of their staff regarding election security and the state’s response to concerns about election interference and the recent CISA report.

This is not a partisan issue. States have a duty to protect their own elections, their voters, and the integrity of the results. If foreign actors, private technology companies, political campaigns, or third-party vendors interfered with election systems, reporting systems, voter data, or vote totals, the public deserves a full investigation.

I am specifically asking the Attorney General to investigate: Aleria Technology and its ties to the Trump campaign; Elon Musk, DOGE, and communications between Musk and his engineers; any real-time voting data shared with private individuals; election equipment vendors, reporting systems including DDHQ, Pro V&V engineering change orders; and any foreign interference connected to the 2024 election.

We are asking for subpoenas, preservation of records, vendor communications, software records, reporting-system data, and any communications involving campaigns, private technology companies, and foreign actors.

I have an article I’d like to share in advance, and I’d appreciate the opportunity to discuss whether the Attorney General plans to review the issues raised, whether the office intends to investigate any potential violations of election laws, and what steps can be taken to strengthen election integrity and restore public confidence.

A virtual meeting works perfectly if that’s easier. What does your scheduling process look like?”

If you call to schedule with legislators:

“Hello, my name is [Name], and I live in [City] in the [Representative’s/Senator’s] district. I’d like to schedule a 15-minute meeting with the legislator or a member of their staff regarding election security and the state’s response to concerns about election interference and the recent CISA report.

I have an article I’d like to share in advance, and I’d appreciate the opportunity to discuss what actions the [Representative/Senator] supports to strengthen election integrity and restore public confidence. A virtual meeting works perfectly if that’s easier.

What does your scheduling process look like?”

We have less than 100 days.

Democrats must prevail by a wide margin in November.

Our state elected officials must understand that we expect them to use the authority of their offices in the face of ongoing federal corruption and lawlessness.

We’re still holding onto hope. You should too.

Again, we don’t need permission to enforce the Constitution.

We just need courage.
