They were not rigging the election; they were fortifying it. And they believe the public needs to understand the system’s fragility in order to ensure that democracy in America endures.” – “The Secret History of the Shadow Campaign That Saved the 2020 Election” (Time, February 4, 2021) "Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people." - Eleanor Roosevelt Introduction I had a ringside seat to events from November 3, 2020 to January 20, 2021, and feel a duty to tell the world what happened. I will not be regurgitating the headline events everyone will have read, but will aim to explain what was going on behind the scenes, and give my best account of why things played out as they did. My only interest is honestly conveying the truth for historical purpose. Between January 9 and January 21, 2021, I had Covid. When I recovered, out of an interest in not letting the public suffer from my Covid- Fog procrastination, I drafted and published pieces of this story in installments (reserving the right to re-edit as I went). They appeared from January 23 to February 9, 2021 on DeepCapture.com, my anti-corruption website. Thus you might think of the exercise as having been an odd one, wherein I drafted this book but did so publicly, that the public need not wait to begin having its curiosity addressed. I took those installments as a starting point, but have substantially reorganized, rewritten, and augmented that material here. It would be natural for the reader to question my motives, to wonder if I have an ax to grind or wish to accomplish something in writing this other than what I claim (that I feel a duty to my country to give an honest account of what I saw over those nine weeks, and to do so with dispatch). So I close this with four statements to clarify my philosophical orientation: 1. I have always voted Libertarian for President, and have never voted for a Republican or Democrat for President. Thus voting for Donald Trump was never a consideration for me, one way or the other. 1. I agree with about 75% of Trump’s policy positions. Our nation is supposed to embody “consent of the governed,” yet I do not remember “the governed” ever signing up for forever-wars; or agreeing to outsource our middle class to China; or agreeing (without evidence or discussion) to disband our borders and do away with the Westphalian nation-state system that has served the world for three and a half centuries. I remember our elites doing that, but not the governed. So I agree with Donald Trump’s policy direction, but still fault him for one big thing: he should have made ethnic relations more central to his presidency. And I am not sure he did not, on occasion, tickle sentiments that shouldn’t be tickled (e.g., discussing how “Mexico is sending us their rapists” was bringing up an issue worthy of discussion, but it have been brought up in a more respectful way). 2. While I try to maintain a position of being Left- friendly, and even once was Left-curious, I confess that at this point I find the majority of activist Democrats to be intellectually dishonest and lacking in the most fundamental understanding of what made our republic work and how to fix it. Moreover, I am disgusted by the Goon-ism they embraced as a political creed far before it began making appearance on the Right. 2. Having been inside this election fraud issue for months, having gotten to know some big brains in it, professors and technologists and computer scientists, the estimate I trust the most comes from one of them, an esteemed government scientist (think “rocket science” but I may be being
