Democrat’s Mechanism to Steal 2024: Fake Voter Registrations Called ‘Ghost Registrations’ — Report
An investigative report by The Gateway Pundit has documented how Democrat operatives using fraudulent voter registration operations will likely be employed to steal the 2024 presidential election.
“The Gateway Pundit is currently investigating numerous far-left voter registration groups operating around the country,” Jim Hoft said in The Gateway Pundit Wednesday. “Democrats found an easy way to manufacture votes – fake registrations and mailboxes.”
Hoft led off his article chronicling how the Democrats pulled off the 2020 election heist, then detailed how the party has fallen out of favor among many Americans after the failed policies of President Joe Biden, then went into how Hoft believes 2024 will be potentially stolen.
“Democrats have dozens, if not hundreds, of what they call ‘Get out the vote’ groups operating in every state in the union today,” Jim Hoft said in The Gateway Pundit Wednesday. “The Democratic Party, including the DSCC and Biden Campaign, spent tens of millions on these groups during the 2020 election and will spend hundreds of millions on them again in 2024.”
The Gateway Pundit report explained that the way the fraud works is by manufacturing what it calls ‘ghost registrations’.
“During our investigations, we learned that GBI Strategies was saving the ‘good forms (registrations)’ and loading them into a computer before they were delivered to the clerk’s offices,” Jim Hoft said in The Gateway Pundit Wednesday. “Why was that? Could it be so they could share these ghost registrations with leftist groups during the election?”
GBI Strategies has been on Hoft’s radar for a while, he previously detailed his findings to Steve Bannon.
Gateway Pundit’s Patty McMurray also reported on another Democrat voter registration group that has reportedly, according to her article, engaged in similar behavior.
“…we have discovered that a group called Black Fork Strategies, which operates across the state of Ohio, is being investigated by the Ohio Secretary of State,” Patty McMurray said in The Gateway Pundit. “The Hamilton County Board of Elections has turned over several suspicious voter registration applications Ohio Secretary of State’s Public Integrity Division. According to Hamilton County Board of Elections members, the voter registrations in question were recently turned in by the self-described “progressive” voter registration organization Black Fork Strategies.”
The article by McMurray references a video of the Hamilton Board of Elections.
McMurray also spoke with Steve Bannon regarding fraudulent voter registrations.
Hoft ended his article with a plea for help.
“Please pass this on before it’s too late,” Jim Hoft said in The Gateway Pundit Wednesday.
US Jobs Revised Down By 818,000 In Election Year Shocker, Second Worst Revision In US History
Back in March, when most of Wall Street and economists still believed the lies spewed forth by the Biden Bureau of Labor Statistics, which intentionally uses inaccurate, rushed “data” from the Establishment survey which is meant to pad sentiment and make the economy appear far stronger than it is for propaganda purposes (as one can see by the constant monthly downward revisions), we did an in-depth analysis looking at the actual, “uncooked” numbers published by the Philadelphia Fed preview of the annual Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages employment revision, and warned our readers that actual US payrolls are overstated by at least 800,000.
Philadelphia Fed Admits US Payrolls Overstated By At Least 800,000 https://t.co/JZZxweddh9
— zerohedge (@zerohedge) March 28, 2024
Specifically, we concluded that “the BLS had overstated payrolls by 800,000 through Dec 2023 (and more if one were to extend the data series into 2024)” and added that “it’s truly statistically remarkable how every time the data error is in favor of a stronger, if fake, economy.”
Furthermore, we also noted that the revision “also means that far from the stellar 230K average monthly increase in payrolls in 2023, which the White House would spin time and again as direct evidence of the benefits of Bidenomics, the true average monthly payroll increase in 2023 was only 130K! The full monthly change in payrolls as originally reported by the BLS (in green) and the actual monthly number, as per the QCEW (in red) is shown below.”
This matters because as we reminded our followers this weekend, today at 10am, the BLS would publish its annual nonfarm payrolls benchmark revision where it would unveil as , which it did (with the usual 35 minute delay because that’s the kind of service $35 trillion in debt buys you), and it confirmed that we were right almost to the dot, because as the BLS unveiled in its CES Preliminary Benchmark Announcement, “the preliminary estimate of the benchmark revision indicates an adjustment to March 2024 total nonfarm employment of -818,000 (-0.5 percent)” or just above the 800,000 was said to expect back in March.
The revision is mainly due to the highest-paying sectors: i.e., professional services -358k, leisure -150k, and manufacturing -115k. Not at all surprising: government was revised +1,000.
As an aside, while the data were scheduled to be released at 10 a.m. in Washington but didn’t appear on the BLS’s website for more than a half hour later. A spokesperson for the agency didn’t answer Bloomberg’s questions as to why the figures were delayed, but we have some pretty good guesses about the panic that gripped the BLS as they realized they needed a green lights from the propaganda ministry before going live with this number.
How big is the 818,000 revision in context? As the chart below shows, the 2024 revision was the biggest in the past decade, and the second biggest on record, with just the 824K downward revision in 2009 just (barely) greater.
The revisions confirm that – as we had been warning for much of the past year – the labor market started moderating much sooner than flawed conventional wisdom thought. It wasn’t until earlier this month that markets and economists grew concerned with the release of the July jobs report. That set off alarm bells with a weak pace of hiring and a fourth month of rising unemployment, but other metrics like jobless claims and vacancies have suggested a more moderate slowdown.
Putting it all together, we now know – as we reported first back in March – that the labor market is, and was, far weaker than conventionally believed. In fact, no less than 800,000 payrolls would end up “missing” when one uses the far more accurate Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages data rather than the BLS’ woefully inaccurate and politically mandated payrolls “data”, and if one looks back the the monthly gains across most of 2023, one gets not 218K jobs added on average every month but rather 150K, a 31% decline. Needless to say, the market would look very different if it had known that effectively all the payroll “beats” of the past year would be deleted!
Of course, none of that paints Bidenomics, or Kamalanomics, or whatever it is now, in a flattering picture, because while one can at least pretend that issuing $1 trillion in debt every 100 days to add 3 million jos per year is somewhat acceptable, learning that that ridiculous amount buys 800,000 jobs less is hardly the endorsement that the White House needs. On the flip side, pretending that the US had added an additional 800,000 jobs in the past year is precisely what Biden, and now, Kamala would have wanted to generate the kind of buzz and momentum that somehow translates into the “greatest economy ever”… at least until it is all revised away as the admin’s lies finally wash away.
What is the implication for the market? Well, as UBS trader Leo He correctly notes, “the Fed is well aware of nonfarm payrolls (establishment survey) overstating the job market, but unemployment rate (household survey) underestimating the job market” and he goes on to quote Governor Bowman’s speech on Tuesday:
“There are also risks that the labor market has not been as strong as the payroll data have been indicating, and it appears that the recent rise in unemployment may be exaggerating the degree of cooling in labor markets. The Q4 Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) report suggests that job gains have been consistently overstated in the establishment survey since March of last year, while the household survey unemployment data have become less accurate as response rates have appreciably declined since the pandemic. The rise in the unemployment rate this year largely reflects weaker hiring, as job searchers entering the labor force are taking longer to find work, and layoffs remain low. It is also likely that some temporary factors contributed to the soft July employment report. The rise in the unemployment rate in July was largely accounted for by workers who are experiencing a temporary layoff and are more likely to be rehired in coming months. Hurricane Beryl also likely contributed to weaker job gains, as the number of workers not working due to bad weather increased significantly last month.”
At the end of the day, all this does is cement the Fed’s 25bps rate cut next month.
As for broader socio-political implications, back in March we concluded our article, which predicted today’s revision with near 100% accuracy, by warning that the staggering size of the revised data “is also why nobody in the mainstream media – which is now nothing more than the PR smokescreen for the Biden puppetmasters, the government and the deep state – will ever mention this report.”
Today it will be more difficult for the propaganda press to ignore it.

Excess Deaths in Australia Correlated to Covid Vaccine Uptake — Study
A peer reviewed study has found a correlation between Covid vaccine administration and excess mortality in Australia. While correlation does not imply causation, it indicates a plausible causation that should be further researched, which it has previously and causation has been confirmed including in Australia.
“The study explores the relationship by Australia State between COVID Booster Vaccinations and excess deaths. There is evidence of a very strong correlation in ordinary least squares regression analysis. Cross-validation tests support the strength of the regression relationship. The results suggest that it would be worthwhile to explore these associations in greater depth as it is an important public health issue,” the study said in the ‘Abstract’ section.
A positive correlation between the shot and extra deaths has been discovered.
A positive correlation describes how when one factor increases or decreases (Covid vaccination) the other factor (excess mortality) moves in the same direction. While correlation does not verify a direct cause-effect relationship between the first and second factor (causation), it does indicate a causal factor may be at play.
Booster doses have the biggest effect on death rates it appears.
“…excess deaths are significantly related to booster doses,” the study said in the ‘Bivariate regression results, cross-validation and discussion’ section.
This research is not the only link between vaccination and reductions in human life.
Fascinatingly, long before Covid, Melinda Gates of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has previously said that she’s very glad to see that when they go to Africa to give the black people their shots, for their health and wellbeing, their population numbers actually decrease.
Perhaps more amazingly, in 2011 the Gates Foundation released a video detailing what it referred to a ‘NEW WEAPON’ – an experimental vaccination against Malaria which the Foundation was injecting into the bodies of little black babies in poverty stricken regions of Africa, a popular Gates family activity.
The link of vaccines to death and the love of the injection by Bill Gates, along with his statements before and during the Covid pandemic, has been likened to that of a serial killer.
Interestingly, the researchers discussed how their findings were in line with excess mortality data complied by the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), mortality data that Infowars previously reported on after Dr. John Campbell produced a video on analyzing the information.
“The results suggest a strong association between excess deaths and booster vaccinations across this sample of OECD countries,” the study on OECD data said in the ‘Abstract’ section.
Although the recent study does not establish not causal relationship in its findings, rather just a corollary relationship, this evidence is not unlike previous Covid vaccine studies Infowars has reported on which do establish causal relationships.
The Covid shots are known to:
- Make people retarded
- Attack basically everything in the body
- Increase in lethality after repeated doses
- Double the death rate of Covid patients
- Vaxxed kids face a 4,423 percent higher all-cause mortality rate
- 74 percent of the vaccinated who’ve died were killed by the shots
- The death rate is still higher than what is reported
- The shot increases Covid infection rates
- The shot increases all cause mortality
- The shot increasing the death numbers
- The shot causes tons of bizarre and unusual skin disorders
- Massive increases of insane and gross turbocancers
- Colon cancers
- Reproductive destruction
- Miscarriages
- Eye paralyzation
- Parkinson’s
- Tinnitus
- Hepatitis
- Blood clots in the brain
- Non-serious disorders
- Death by neurological disorders
- Has increased excess death rates
- Negatively altered the immune system
- Triggered autoimmune disorders in the thyroid
- Deadly headaches and seizures
- Heart inflammation and irregularities including in children
- Myocarditis/Pericarditis
- It causes people’s skin to ‘erupt’
- A multitude of serious ailments seen in massive population studies
- Contains hundreds of times the allowable levels of DNA contamination leading to mutagenic effects
- It has contaminated the blood supply
- It has permanently altered the DNA of the vaccinated and their offspring
- While some batches are worse than others and Moderna kills 30 percent more than Pfizer
- The shots are still killing people and are expected to kill people for a very long time into the future
In the U.S. the CDC recommends that all Americans receive their Covid shot and that young children receive extra, as well as that all Americans now receive another shot, despite receiving them previously, while Canada recommends another Covid shot for the pregnant, indigenous, ‘racialized’ & ‘equity-deserving’.
Divided Nation: Watch Protesters Clash With Chicago Police Outside DNC, Dozens Arrested
Several journalists captured demonstrators and police clashing outside the Chicago Democratic National Convention on Tuesday.
The people demonstrating were mostly part of the “Make it Great Like 68” group protesting the Biden/Harris administration’s support of Israel’s bombardment of Gaza.
Journalist Kristan T. Harris documented police and activists skirmishing as the cops tried moving people away from a certain area.

Hypocrites! DNC Denies Venezuelan Migrant Entry, Demands ID & Credentials
Former Fox News reporter Steve Cortes shot an epic video at this week’s Democratic National Convention exposing the hypocrite politicians inside.
?NEW VIDEO?
The DNC is more secure than America’s border.
When a Venezuelan migrant tried to get into the DNC, he was denied due to lack of ID, failure to submit an application, and no credentials.
Why is Kamala enforcing the rules at her convention but not at our border? pic.twitter.com/YrFLzEC6SC— Steve Cortes (@CortesSteve) August 21, 2024
Cortes was joined by his buddy Edwin, a Venezuelan migrant who only wanted to meet with the Democrat leaders who opened the gates for him to enter America.
Ironically, the migrant and Cortes were met with a border wall and security guards checking for his credentials when he tried to enter the DNC.
When the journalist tried getting credentials for Edwin, DNC staffers and volunteers had them kicked out of the building.
Approaching a second group of security guards, Cortes said, “This is Edwin. He’s from Venezuela. He’s a migrant. The Democratic Party wants an endless stream of migrants into America, so I’d like him to go and meet his political friends, listen to the speeches and go into the Democratic Convention.”
Again, the duo had no luck getting the illegal alien into the convention.
“Well, Edwin. Kamala Harris has an open border. You’re allowed in America, you’re not allowed into her party,” Cortes told the Venezuelan.
The hilarious experiment shines a light on ridiculous Democrat open border policies and the hypocrite politicians protected by barriers and armed guards.

How Soon Before You’ll Need a Digital ID to Access Public Services?
The Biden administration is drafting an executive order for federal and state governments to speed up the adoption of digital ID — including mobile driver’s licenses — and for the development of a uniform, government-run online identity system to verify identity and age, and access public websites and services.
NOTUS, a nonprofit news outlet, obtained a draft of the executive order, which states: “It is the policy of the executive branch to strongly encourage the use of digital identity documents.”
According to NOTUS, the executive order “could reshape how Americans access government services, and potentially behave online.”
A digital ID system could operate with the use of biometric scans like facial recognition to “help better verify identity online,” NOTUS reported, noting the federal government is working with Apple and Google to build systems that would “allow Americans to carry identity documents on their smartphones and frictionlessly submit them to both government and private sector websites for verification.”
Michael Rectenwald, Ph.D., author of “The Great Reset and the Struggle for Liberty: Unraveling the Global Agenda,” told The Defender that, as defined by the World Economic Forum (WEF), “digital identity is ‘the sum total of the growing and evolving mass of information about us, our profiles and the history of our activities online.’”
Rectenwald said:
“Digital identity is not merely a new, more handy, lightweight, digital form of identification. It refers to a collection of data that purportedly defines who we are, including what we do both online and offline … and not merely to a means by which we can be identified as such.”
Alexis Hancock, director of engineering for the Electronic Frontier Foundation, told The Defender the Biden administration’s digital ID will disproportionately target the poor and underprivileged. She said:
“Digital Identity and the standards that dictate them are still very ‘new’ and yet the White House is expediting digital identity for the most vulnerable of populations: people on public benefits.
“Deploying various technologies on this population to access their benefits, such as facial recognition is not something I’d encourage or advise. Especially with facial recognition being fraught with issues of discrimination.”
Rectenwald also warned that digital ID can later be expanded to other functions.
“Even if a digital identity system only serves as identification at first, as the Center for Human Rights and Global Justice notes, digital identities are prone to ‘function creep’” — that is, “they are intended to be used for multiple purposes that are unforeseen when the system is first designed,” he said.
Tim Hinchliffe, editor of The Sociable, cited vaccine passports as one such possibility.
“While the federal government wasn’t able to legally mandate vaccination to all U.S. citizens, it went ahead anyway and mandated it to federal employees, and the private sector followed suit. … The same can easily happen with digital identity,” Hinchliffe said.
The NOTUS report comes just days after revelations that the Social Security numbers and other personal information of practically all Americans stored by a private company, National Public Data, was breached in April 2024.
Catherine Austin Fitts, founder and publisher of the Solari Report and former U.S. assistant secretary of Housing and Urban Development, said, “Rather than apologize or take steps to make sure that our data is secure, the Biden administration is proposing to create even more centrally controlled databases pushing for a digital ID.”
‘Big Tech manages digital ID and is far more powerful than governments’
According to NOTUS, 13 states have rolled out “some kind of mobile driver’s license program” and more are working toward implementing a digital ID. “But federal action pushing the transition has been delayed” — creating a hodgepodge of state digital ID systems that are not coordinated at the federal level.
According to IDScan.net, the 13 states are Arizona, California, Colorado, Delaware, Georgia, Iowa, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, New York, Ohio and Utah. Ohio launched digital driver’s licenses and state IDs earlier this month.
Similar programs are “in progress” in an additional 14 states, while in two states — Louisiana and Mississippi — mobile ID can be used to vote.
At least seven countries have launched digital ID, according to Identity.com. These include Canada, Estonia, Germany, India, Japan, Singapore and Sweden. The European Union (EU) launched its digital ID and wallet earlier this year.
Each of the 27 EU member states “will offer at least one version of the EU Digital Identity Wallet,” which may include driver’s licenses, personal health data, travel documents, social security information, personal SIM cards, university diplomas and also may be connected to one’s bank accounts.
In Greece, ticketing via the government’s “digital wallet” is required to attend sporting events.
But despite the purported convenience “digital wallets” may offer, there are also potential risks.
“If you lose your laminated driver’s license, you can just get a new one,” attorney Greg Glaser said. “But if you lose your biometric ID, you cannot get a new thumb or new eyeball, so hacks are permanent.”
Experts also warned of Big Tech involvement in government digital ID schemes. “Big Tech manages digital ID and is far more powerful than governments,” Glaser said. “Big Tech has the patents, and they dictate both the standards and implementation.”
He added:
“Their long game in the cybersecurity industry is to centralize data processing so that our state and local governments become dependent on the cybersecurity industry to function day-to-day. This is called ‘digital public infrastructure,’ and it is no small thing, because it neutralizes local power and governance.”
For instance, several states, including Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, Maryland and Ohio, offer their digital ID cards and driver’s licenses via Apple Wallet. Earlier this month, Apple announced that California will soon offer these documents via Apple Wallet as well.
According to NOTUS, although the federal government has developed Login.gov as “the standard credential for accessing federal websites,” many such sites, including that of the IRS, use “the Virginia-based start-up ID.me,” a private company.
“Through public-private partnerships, digital identity can be very convenient for citizen interactions with governments and corporations, but it can also be a tool for total surveillance and control,” Hinchliffe said.
He added:
“Just like the jabs, digital identity doesn’t have to be forcibly mandated to make your life miserable, but without it, you may not be able to make financial transactions, acquire a driver’s license, go to school or even access the internet.”
According to NOTUS though, fraud involving the lack of a uniform age and identity verification system — including through state driver’s licenses that are relatively easy to forge — has cost the U.S. government billions of dollars and is a key driver of the Biden administration’s draft executive order.
“The draft order, if implemented, would ostensibly address a growing problem: The government has lost billions of dollars in fraudulent claims to benefit programs using forged identification cards.” Most state driver’s license systems do not connect to identity verification services that match faces to IDs.
“The result is growing interest in creating a form of digital ID to use on the web,” NOTUS reported. “Joe Biden first promised an executive order in his 2022 State of the Union address, but it has been stuck in a bureaucratic turf war over what it should include.”
According to the draft executive order, people will not be required to submit to automated facial recognition scans. The executive order also would prohibit the government and contractors from selling biometric data and using that kind of data for anything other than identity verification.
Hancock said that while she agrees with the proposal for “more account controls for people who are at risk for fraud, like requiring multi-factor authentication and ways to recover their benefits if their credentials are compromised,” she questioned whether the White House’s proposed executive order would sufficiently address data safety.
“While there are some statements in the White House’s plans that seem protective of privacy and consent in using digital identity mechanisms to combat fraud, I am wary that digital identity will lessen or mitigate fraud at scale … This would take more robust technical support with more human aid-like useful technical support call lines and translators,” she said.
Fitts said, “Digital IDs are the essential step to the WEF vision of ‘Welcome to 2030. I own nothing, have no privacy, and life has never been better.’”
“I do hope that with this call for digital identity, is followed by strong and robust privacy protections for our data and not naiveté that digital identity itself is the solution,” Hancock said.
Establishment of CBDC the true goal of digital ID?
Experts also told The Defender that despite the Biden administration’s safety assurances, government-run digital ID programs launched in other countries have been prone to breaches.
In “the process of all the data centralization … citizens increasingly lose privacy while the authorities hypocritically claim digital wallets provide greater privacy because they are more secure against theft,” Glaser said.
“The authorities’ claim is at best untested and at worst outright false — as India’s recent Aadhaar security breach showed, with about 60% of India’s 1.3 billion population hacked and exposed on the dark web,” Glaser said.
Aadhaar, India’s national digital ID system, has been mired in controversy. Promoted by Bill Gates, Aadhaar was recently linked with India’s new digital health certificates.
“If you want to see how digital identity gets adopted on a massive scale, take a look at India’s Aadhaar digital identity system. For more than a decade, the government said that digital identity would be voluntary, but then banks and local governments started mandating its use,” Hinchliffe said.
This “made people’s lives difficult to live without the digital ID. Now, India boasts that around 1.2 billion citizens have ‘voluntarily’ signed up for digital ID,” Hinchliffe added.
Some experts argued that the Biden administration’s true goal with digital ID is to lay the groundwork for the introduction of a central bank digital currency (CBDC).
“The reason that the Biden Administration wants a digital ID is so that the Federal Reserve and the banking system can move to an all-digital financial control system that will use ‘programmable money’ [which] will permit taxation without representation and negative interest rates,” Fitts said.
Similarly, Rectenwald said, “Digital identity is the lynchpin for instituting a CBDC, which the Biden administration has said in an executive order that it — and by extension, the Harris regime — intends to implement.”
CBDC could be used to shut people with non-establishment opinions out of public life, Rectenwald warned. “Linked with CBDC, digital identity could bar these ‘undesirables’ from the economy,” he said, citing people whose bank accounts were frozen for supporting or participating in the Canadian Freedom Convoy.
