What media historian Bruce Herschensohn called ‘the Gods of the antenna’ were conspicuously on display on July 16 when President Trump gave a nationwide address on election integrity and security. None of the mainstream television networks carried it live.
In their role as the arbiters and self-proclaimed gatekeepers of what the public should think, CNN defended its decision, saying “it felt it would be dangerous to just air Trump’s speech live and unedited.” ABC and NBC broadcast summarized accounts. CBS simply dismissed Trump’s address as “repeated falsehoods.”
Without interrogating the evidence of electoral fraud, the Gods of the antenna, along with the political establishment and their cohorts, have been insisting that the 2020 election was secure. Their word was infallible even though nobody cared to explain how Joe Biden, without campaigning, could have amassed 81 million votes – 15 million more than the darling of the Gods, Hillary Clinton, received in 2016.
Regardless of the efforts of the Gods to deny, discredit and downplay the issue of electoral fraud, with the midterms looming in November Trump has initiated a new narrative on the issue. In opening it, he cited FBI findings on how in 2020 China acquired the data of tens of millions of voters in 18 states either by theft, purchase or hacking.
As is his style, Trump is going to drip out more and more evidence, thereby compelling the Gods and their adherents to take a side: should foreign interference in US elections be tolerated? Already, back on 28 September 2023, Newsweek reported that the Chinese Communist Party had been funding Democrats in New York since 2013.
Faith in the integrity of voting machines has been challenged by various sources. In June 2023, Professor Robert Halderman of Michigan University published a 96-page report which found that Dominion voting machines “suffer from critical vulnerabilities that can be exploited to subvert all their security mechanisms.” Defamation charges against magnate Mike Lindell for accusing Dominion of stealing the 2020 election were recently dropped by Dominion as they were not confident of winning their case.
Ironically, while fraud involving hundreds of billions in federal funding is widely acknowledged and condemned, the Gods of the antenna persist in the narrative that elections are secure and untainted. But they are at odds with many. A current Rasmussen poll shows 64% regarding Chinese interference in elections as likely. In May, the Washington Post conceded that if voter ID and proof of citizenship had applied, Trump would have won New Mexico in 2024. To what extent might Democrat votes have been reduced nationwide had such requirements applied in 2020?
In Maryland, the recent discovery of 500,000 false voter registrations has become the subject of an FBI investigation. In the Senate, despite 80% of Americans being in support of voter ID and proof of citizenship for voting, the Democrats refuse to endorse Trump’s Save America Act. These are the same people who are opposed to immigration agents being at polling stations to prevent illegal aliens from voting.
“If the vote can be obtained by foreign nations or menaces, by fraud or violence, the government may not be the choice of the American people but of foreign nations,” warned John Adams, second president of the US.
And that is the intention of the globalists, which is why Trump rightly sees national security at risk in elections.
