@Jenna, you just advanced to level 1!

@deMontfort Satellites cover a very specific area and need a receivers, an antennae, a signal converter, and a few other components on the other end for data authentication and encryption. It is primarily a one-way data stream that needs a back channel for 2-way communication. Even if it was connected to a network that had access to the voting machines at each location so it can connect and make changes, the one-way broadcast nature of satellite communication makes it ill suited for this purpose.

I worked for Boeing Satellite Systems in the early 00's for a division called Boeing Digital Cinema. I was in charge of developing a data model and process decomposition for using satellite technology for delivering digital movies to theaters via satellite. It is great for scale - sending the same files to lots of locations with receivers, but almost useless for 2way communication.

@deMontfort Does that make sense?

Yes. I understand the nature of satellites. Can we get to the part where the guy in the video needs to be a Satellite Engineer?

He doesn't but he claims they were used to hack the US elections and it is physically impossible.

Correct. They were used to hack the US elections. Want to know how?

Magic?

That would be pretty sweet haha

You know the general idea of how to hide a money trail in finance?

Ok

You know the general idea of how to hide a money trail in finance? Yes?

You pass it through multiple entities and bank accounts, right?

There are probably many.

Ok

Generally speaking.... right.

Yes

The Satellite was used to send the parameters which the voting machines needed to adopt. Those parameters were sent to Germany. From those severs is where the hacking took place. We had traced the information packets back to the servers in Germany... but we need pin it to the source... that’s when it was traced to a data transfer from a transmission received from an Italian satellite leased to the Vatican.

You have to hop the data around to cover its tracks... just like an onion server

That would be perfectly within the capabilities of a Satellite, yes?

Right... So there are satellite receivers in Germany with the correct decryption keys and transponder settings connected to a network that can receive these instructions??? It's not like radio. There is a lot of equipment needed on the receiving end.

@TaLoN132 - not saying this is facts, but hard to say this guy would not know satellites and the equipment needed. . . https://youtu.be/YwtbK5XXAMk

Yes. Both sides would have to be able to initiate the handshake

@deMontfort, you just advanced to level 6!

I'm sorry... this sounds like a concocted story to try and fit the "Army seized servers in Frankfurt" story.

It's usually not a handshake... Satellite communication is a one-way transmission with a back channel to request missed packets.

Also, that "affidavit" is hearsay.

@TaLoN132 Perhaps... but that isn’t the dispute currently. One at a time. -As a satellite expert, you can confirm this explanation is within the capabilities of a satellite, yes?

As I said. Im not the satellite expert 🙂

Affidavits by an swarm Officer of the Court (an Attorney), is not considered heresy. It is admissible as their account.

I'm not exactly an expert, per se... I have worked with satellites and was the data expert that designed a software solution for Boeing Digital Systems.

I have very specific information on how satellites are used for transmitting and receiving data.

For sure. I understand. I’m not expecting you are a wizard. But my account of how the data was transferred through the satellite is within the capabilities of a satellite’s performance capabilities, yes?

According to your understanding...

I just want to be sure I’ve explained this piece fully

@TaLoN132 I understand your apprehension. I can still understand your doubts despite the Satellite concern... and we can get to those as well. ... But you can confirm that the data transfer as I described is within the capabilities of a satellite, yes?

@deMontfort OK... I was just watching the video that Jenna shared. He clearly claims that the satellite connection was used for 2-way communication, which means they would have also needed a transponder in Germany. And then he says that they looped in the American Embassy, where it took place...

Sorry... This is complete nonsense. There was no algorithm that got overloaded. No electronic hack would be able to produce paper ballots that matched the vote totals during the hand recounts and risk limiting audits in each of these states. It is simply not possible.

Satellite communication is a ridiculous solution for this when solutions like VPN's are readily available, completely secure, software configurable, have no bandwidth or back channel requirements, and can be dropped into a location and easily removed - no antennae, receiver/transponders and other equipment.

Why is tracing data packets between servers “loopy”?

What do you mean? Who used the term loopy?

Alright. I’ll use your term. Let’s substitute your word. “nonsense”.

Data packets only exist at the time that it occurred. It would require a packet sniffer sitting somewhere between point A and point X while the transmissions are occurring. You can't trace packets after the fact.

Also, vote tabulation did not occur outside the USA. This was a basic misunderstanding of how Scytl - a Barcelona based company - was being used. I first heard this mischaracterization from a report that Russ Ramsland created when he started investigating Dominion after he lost his election bid in 2016. Scytl does have online voting system that are used elsewhere, but not in the US. The US locations use an Election Night dashboard service that are used to display vote totals by race/measure. Ramsland asserted that the untabulated ballots were sent to Scytl, who's AWS based servers were in Frankfurt Germany.

I also do recall when I was in the military, we had a mobile send/receive Satellite at all times. It was never my duty to man it, but I was trained on setting it up once.
