#395 - “I Watched Them Rig Elections In Real Time” Venezuelan Spy Breaks Silence | Ralph Pezzullo

What was said

"Our intelligence services started to use this software. We don't know if they're still using it, but they are involved in this. So they were using it to determine the results of elections in other countries."

Two government whistleblowers claim the CIA adopted Venezuelan-developed election manipulation software to control outcomes in foreign nations through a USAID program called CEPSS. They allege US taxpayer money funded the promotion of this technology to 72 countries worldwide, creating a conflict within the Trump administration between exposing domestic election fraud and protecting covert intelligence operations abroad.
