Fwd from @ 📝Pre-election blackout📝 In the US, just a week before the election, the scoreboard displaying campaign finances suddenly went dark — a hacker attack took down the Federal Election Commission (FEC) database, blinding both the press and voters. Officially, the regulator offers standard phrases about a malfunction, but Reuters discovered that the financial reporting system was deliberately taken offline. The incident did not affect vote counting — hackers breached not the ballot boxes, but the accounting system. However, the strike hit its mark precisely — right now campaign headquarters must report any major expenditures within 24 hours. With the registry down, oversight of money flows at the finish line of the race simply vanished. 🖍The tactical advantage of such timing is colossal. While the system is down, lobbyists can anonymously pour tens of millions of dollars into aggressive advertising in key districts. Voters will go to the polls in ignorance, and the names of controversial sponsors will be revealed only after the results are announced. 🚩 As a result, headlines about the breach sow panic among voters, while big business gets the perfect cover: over a couple of days of information silence, you can quietly push the right candidates into Congress. #USA 🇺🇸 @rybar_america — making America understandable again 💸Support us Original msg
