2016 ELECTION ATTACK SERIES: The Greatest Crime In American History — Parts 1 - 5, Until Now
My first five investigations into 2016 US election interference by Russian military intelligence and the US white supremacists/traitors — central characters in the greatest crime in American history

Author’s note: I began writing the reports below, which became the 2016 Election Series, in January of last year. It bothered me that US Putinists were crying about Douglass Mackey going to prison for what they called ‘shitposting’. So I began pulling threads, and the threads took me all the way to the top of the coup chain. The same traitors who worked with Russia and other hostile foreign powers to throw the election to Trump in 2016, were the same treasonous cell who orchestrated the J6 coup. And because they were pardoned and/or not held accountable, they have now disfigured America into West Russia.
It’s important in this time of grave deception to have the facts. Please read and share this series on the 2016 election heist — it matters.—hsc
On April 26, 2024, I wrote: The 2016 election is a crime scene, and the cover up is ongoing. As Trump reaches out to ex-cons to run his 2024 campaign, I invite you to read this series — parts 4 and part 5 concentrate on the ‘Torturer’s Lobby’ felons of Stone and Manafort.
“I think a full investigation would show that Trump didn't actually win the election in 2016. He lost the election, and he was put into office because the Russians interfered on his behalf.”—Fmr President Jimmy Carter, June 28, 2019
The battle for America is the battle for the facts of the 2016 election - we are running short on time.
Thank you for your support as I do this work.
Excerpt from Part 1:
The Crime Scene
Twitter 2016 is a crime scene. The chalk outline around the decaying corpse is an ominous warning — metaphorical yellow tape serves as an attempt to keep people out. But I go in — probing the bombed out traces of memetic warfare. And navigating my way between the mounds of deleted tweets and suspended accounts, I forensically piece together the carcass of 2016 — an election stolen by Kremlin-sponsored attacks facilitated by misogynistic white nationalists — superspreaders of GRU lies.
I start pulling at threads, one at a time, because criminal propagandists reveal their crimes through projection. Donald Trump, Elon Musk, Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones’ InfoWars, Dinesh D’Souza, Don Jr. and Glenn Greenwald are each defending Douglass Mackey, a convicted felon just sentenced to seven-months in prison for his role in a conspiracy to interfere with the 2016 election. He targeted people of color to vote for Hillary Clinton with ‘vote by text’ memes — and thousands of people contacted the line.
Voting by text isn’t a thing, but election interference is.
According to the FBI, Douglass Mackey, who went by the pseudonym “Ricky Vaughn” in multiple accounts, was previously convicted of the charge of Conspiracy Against Rights at trial by a federal jury in Brooklyn.
I had reported on Douglass Mackey, superspreader of Russian-intelligence lies during the run up to the 2016 election and beyond. In threads and investigations, I noted how he was a prolific tweeter of GRU propaganda from Prigozhin’s troll farm, and he wasn’t alone — Mike Flynn and Don Jr. also tweeted Russian state-sponsored lies from the St. Petersburg operation — Ten_GOP.
But the cabal of Russian fanboys simping for Mackey is a loud confession. They are trying to make the MAGA cult members believe that Mackey is going to prison for making Hillary memes.
Number one, that shows an overt downplaying of memetic warfare — trolling is a cheap way to destroy people and countries.
It’s guerrilla warfare in cyberspace and memes are the weapons.
Number two, why are they so worried? What are they trying to hide?
