John Dale - Sept 27, 2024

The Dahl Art Center in Rapid City runs a program called the Emerging Artists series. It's a nice avenue for artists to gain experience with the music industry and provides a chance to connect with fans of the music. I went through the program years ago and headlined the event. One of the other musicians participating in the program was a network administrator in charge of managing firewalls, computers, and network equipment. He was a veteran of the US Military. He and I had a nice discussion about network security and the state of hardware in the US. We were both in complete agreement that there is no security on The Internet or with our devices. There is just the illusion of security.

Voting in The United States is a right reserved for Citizens of the United States. This, somehow, became a controversial statement, but what does it mean to be a citizen? There are formalities codified into our laws like you have to live here, you can't be a convicted felon, you can't vote if you're underage, and other things. In the heart, however, a person should love the nation, state, county, city, or town in which the voting occurs, but what does that mean?

The Magna Carta diffused perceived magic of the monarchy in Europe, a clear statement that the people had rights and that their concerns mattered. Not only that, but the concerns of the people - humanity - was all that mattered.

The Mayflower Compact is the story of the Pilgrims, whose contract was breached by the seafaring men who dropped them off in the wrong place. In that moment, unencumbered by the agreement they had with far away European investors, they created their own government of necessity to deal with the difficult circumstances they encountered and survived in what would become The United States.

The Declaration of Independence sowed an acorn of independence in the minds of the people of a fledgling nation. The same spirit of freedom that drove the original settlers across the perilous ocean was written in words, as best they were able, giving wings to the idea of freedom that founded the nation that has grown into the world's most recognizable and credible brand of freedom. It is a freedom that is relentlessly attacked, not by other nations as much as the tyrannical leaders of other nations who want to quell the spirit of freedom and the revolution against rule that gives rise to Liberty.

The United States Constitution became a honed refinement of these founding ideas, along with a Bill of Rights that put words to mankind's desire to fullfill himself through his own agency. Men would give their lives by the hundreds of thousands to foster and preserve this ideal.

When registering to vote, how can authorities measure adherence to these founding ideas? They do their best, and often that is enough. Voter registration roles are a mass profession in the willingness to try to understand these founding principles of Liberty, freedom, risk, and standing up to bullies. Here in South Dakota, we have a computer that keeps track of the voter roles. Unfortunately, our people do not have the expertise to prevent intrusions and manipulations within this database to sufficiently protect the integrity of a one citizen, one vote principle.

I studied Computer Science as an undergraduate. While finishing my degree at The University of Arizona, I worked programming computers and websites in the early days of the burgeoning Internet. I got my first job with benefits at a small company that employed me to write database queries to collect and analyze product surveys. They also employed me to create software tools for their customers to update their data, an idea ahead of its time. I worked for an 8 billion dollar publishing and education company creating classroom management software for schools from New York to LA. I earned the Master of Science in MIS and Entrepreneurship from a very prestigious and respected program, The University of Arizona. I worked for a 240 million dollar hospice company using my programming skills to assist them with Medicare billing compliance. After going independent, I wrote encryption software to elevate central processing's production compliance in Canada's largest credit union. Most recently, I received a request to use my skills to look into the voter roles and voter history of South Dakota to evaluate whether the ballot box was ringing true.

For the purposes of verifying the integrity of the voter roles on behalf of any candidate running for office, I received 12 data files representing voter registration and voter history. I created a custom relational database that allow analysis of the voter roles by a normal everyday computer (a Dell laptop). I fine-tuned some computer code to query a very large data set with millions of records. I ran several queries to look for problematical records. The most interesting query was to find addresses at which there were an unreasonable number of registrations. In order to register to vote, a person must live in South Dakota. That means having a physical address of a residence where mail can be received to verify the registration.

What I found was shocking. There were thousands of voter registration records that were out of order, registered at the same address. My query results were provided to SDCanvassing in May of 2024, shortly before my hosting provider notified me that they were moving out of the country. I was not comfortable hosting the securitized results on a server outside the United States, so I took them down in June of 2024, shortly before my mother passed away under dubious circumstances in North Dakota.

In the 2022 election wherein Amendment A was passed (cannabis legalization), estimates varied about some 60,000 fictitious registrations in the South Dakota voter roles thought to have contributed to that victory. Sometimes, retirees sell the farm, get a motorhome, and troll the country. They maintain their registrations in South Dakota, but I speculate this is an insignificant minority of voter registrations. Most of the fake registrations are out of staters trying to affect banking and corporate laws in South Dakota, and therein lies the rub.

South Dakota is known as the "Swiss Bank Account" of The United States because of the favorable laws it has toward corporate registrations and banking regulations. In an article published by Williams and Associates entitled, "South Dakota - The New Switzerland for Bank Secrecy?" Betty Williams, the author, states, "Switzerland, Singapore, and South Dakota all have something in common… these jurisdictions are favored by the extremely wealthy for bank secrecy, which often includes tax evasion, money laundering, and other crimes including worker exploitation."

Has South Dakota become a hub for laundering some of the world's dirtiest money? Well, it does explain why the power structure here does not seem to favor the people who live here, but rather seem terrified to change the status quo of voter registration, banking laws, and corporate registrations.

Wherever that money goes, suffering seems to follow. Are the world's worst people routing huge sums of money to dig-into western South Dakota and root their anti-human operations here? The brain is good at filling in the blanks and connecting dots. In the constellation of possibility, what dots do we have, now?

The Disney enterprise is widely known for its ability to attract young people to its theme parks. Now, it is also becoming more widely known that the consolidation of children has attracted those evil people who target children. Consider the Disney employees that were among 219 people arrested in a human trafficking bust in Polk County, Florida. Is this the tip of the iceberg?

Now, consider that a "Disney-esque" theme park is being proposed in Rapid City, South Dakota, a destination in modern times for families wanting to escape rampant abuses rife in bigger cities among our neighbors to the South.

Lastly, underground in mild mannered Lead, South Dakota they are on the verge of receiving nearly a quarter of a billion dollar investment to support "science" underground, where the neutrino project seeks to view God in a contemporary church of scientific inquiry.

How should we connect these dots?

When seeking answers about why our voter role system has not been fixed, it is necessary to speculate and allow the brain to do what the brain does best. The brain is a massively parallel computer that can fill in gaps to allow us to make more accurate predictions about the future. This article is not a court of law, and speculations as such do not have to arise to the level of judicial evidence to be considered. When so many resources are aligned to keep the truth hidden, we have to make our best guess as to the truth to make decisions on behalf of the safety of children.

Consider the following example: W_en yo_ w_s_ upo_ a _tar.

Clearly, the answer that has unfortunately not been pursued by Governor Noem and Secretary of State Monet Johnson is to purge our voter roles of obvious problematical registrations, then to hand count our ballots on election day. The solution is as plain as the noses on our faces. If these two leaders chose to make the tough call and to do these two things, how quickly would our banking and corporate laws change, and how quickly would South Dakota become a safer place for children, mothers, voters, farmers, miners, and computer scientists? How quickly would the people of South Dakota oust big gaming casinos? How quickly would South Dakota build up its farmers who have been forced into socialistic programs through the decades?
