Dominion Voting Systems Incorrectly Counted Numbers for Puerto Rico Elections

Paper trail to the rescue, as 6,000 U.S. made voting machines allegedly just had a massive integrity breach:

The problem stemmed from a software issue that caused machines supplied by Dominion Voting Systems to incorrectly calculate vote totals, said Jessika Padilla Rivera, the commission’s interim president.

While no one is contesting the results from the June 2 primary that correctly identify the winners, machine-reported vote counts were lower than the paper ones in some cases, and some machines reversed certain totals or reported zero votes for some candidates.

CA Tesla Kills One: Crashes Into Scooter From Behind

Similar to the many other cases of Tesla driverless failing to see motorcycles and killing riders, this one just ran over a scooter like it was designed to kill.

Around 2:54 a.m., CHP officers responded to a call of a crash involving a motorist and a pedestrian just south of Taylor Street. The pedestrian, a 23-year-old from San Jose, was actually riding a Lime brand scooter, authorities said; he was northbound on the freeway before he was hit by a 2021 Tesla, which was also traveling north.

The scooter rider was pronounced dead at the scene.

This 24 year old Tesla owner, likely asleep at 3 a.m. on a highway while driving at high speed from behind over a scooter, has so far not been charged with vehicular homicide.

Related, a driver in Los Angeles has been criminally charged for the same crash as this one, running over a motorcycle from behind… before a Tesla FSD ignored flares, reflective signs and flashing lights to crash into a Police car at the scene.

In other words, suspected DUI now should be seen as equivalent to suspected FSD because Tesla is fraud — robot design as blind and deadly as seriously impaired drivers.

At the time of the crash… driving at more than 100 mph toward a red light without slowing down, prosecutors said.

That sounds exactly like the Tesla robot design to me, since it’s become notorious for ignoring red lights and running over and into people.

500X More Toxic Than Diesel: Why Car Chrome is About to Die

Some shocking news from car manufacturers about an immediate need to stop putting chrome on things.

Hexavalent chromium, or “chromium 6,” the form of the element chromium involved in the plating process, is an aggressive cancer-causing agent, according to government regulators in the United States and Europe.

“Hexavalent chromium is a carcinogen that is the second most potent toxic air contaminant identified by the state,” the California Air Resources Board said in a statement provided to CNN. “It is 500 times more toxic than diesel exhaust and has no known safe level of exposure.”

No known safe level.

It’s interesting to see Jeep top the list of cancerous brands. Reminds me I once had to replace a solid chrome bumper on my Jeep. That was decades ago and I thought the choice of material odd even back then.

A car without chrome actually sounds to me long overdue, like a car without brass. Can’t move fast enough to get away from that awful past.

Likewise, I always removed chrome from my motorcycles or covered it up, since polishing the mirror before or after a ride seemed to be the antithesis of freedom.

Whistleblower: Microsoft Profits From Leaving U.S. Government Vulnerable to Russian Attack

We have yet more news that Microsoft recently shedding its ethics team to go “full evil” was part of a older and much larger problem from the top.

Former employee says software giant dismissed his warnings about a critical flaw because it feared losing government business. Russian hackers later used the weakness to breach the National Nuclear Security Administration, among others.

In a twist that sounds increasingly common in American tech companies driven by Wall Street, significant known security gaps were intentionally ignored during campaigns to expand potential harm to more victims and then blame them.

Harris’ account, told here for the first time and supported by interviews with former colleagues and associates as well as social media posts, upends the prevailing public understanding of the SolarWinds hack.

From the moment the hack surfaced, Microsoft insisted it was blameless. Microsoft President Brad Smith assured Congress in 2021 that “there was no vulnerability in any Microsoft product or service that was exploited” in SolarWinds.

He also said customers could have done more to protect themselves.

Harris said they were never given the chance.

Blaming customers aged like a fine milk.
