OTOH, there could be a lot of drones crashing into each other due to homing in on their own Wi-Fi signals. ---

If I remember correctly, people in Ukraine began making home made flying cocktails to deal with drones when the Bastard Russians invaded their Country. I could see folks here being frightened enough to deal with them in that way too. ---

Here is my Channeling future Lindell on the results of his fraud detection program December 2024. We sent up our drones over the polling stations, where we were assured that no voting machines were connected to the internet and we picked up dozens of wireless signals coming from all around them, so we know they are lying. And if you look at this data, you see that the places we picked up the most cellphone signals\* are the places that had the most so called Biden votes. So we can see that they are changing the votes. But it gets better, we caught them red handed. The data that comes back is in all of these packets and so I got some egg heads to analyze it. Now I don’t know how they do it, but this guy Phil he is a Computer Genius. So any this genius Phil he opened up the packets and looked to see what they contained, and over and over all across the country we saw packets directed from HBOMAX, which stands for **H** unter **B** iden’s **O** peration to **M** aster **A** merica for **X** i. Xi referring of course to Xi Jinping, the head of China. Now these data streams coming from HBOMAX , were being downloaded by the election machines at around 4mbs. That is 4 million bits per second. Now a bit is a choice. One choice between Biden and Trump is one bit, with multiple candidates and multiple it might take a hundred bits to fill in a a ballot. Lets be generous and call it a thousand. But every second the HBOMAX is sending down 4 million bits, or in other words 4,000 completed ballots. And our drones picked up hundreds of these HBOMAX vote stealers across the country. If we subtract the HBOMAX cheats from Biden’s total we see that Trump wins California by 3.7 million votes, he wins Michigan by … \*urban areas \*\*He manages his church’s web page. ---

> [@enipla](#): > > Republicans keep advertising what idiots they are. And yet they are a threat? Is this some sort of test? Idiot Republican politicians are a threat because there are enough regular idiots supporting them to keep them as (at least) a threat. I thought we had established that beyond question. ---
