This is how the entire global election-rigging machine was born.
According to Ralph Pezzullo (the former insider tied to top Venezuelan intelligence sources) on the Danny Jones Podcast:
Back in 2004, Hugo Chávez was getting crushed in a recall referendum. Polls had him finished. His intelligence service walks in: “Hey dude, you’re going to lose.”
Fidel Castro, who treated Chávez like a son and sent a plane with instructions to Caracas every single day, wasn’t about to lose his oil piggy bank. Cuba’s economy depended on it.
So they dropped the cheat code: “There’s new technology… voting machine software. Install it and we can switch votes. We guarantee you win.”
Chávez: “I’m all in.”
They pulled three elite engineers from Simón Bolívar University (Venezuela’s MIT). These guys already had a tech company in Boca Raton doing touchscreen banking.
Venezuela didn’t even have real voting machines yet… so they installed the rigged software on Olivetti touchscreen lottery machines you’d find in any corner bodega. And it worked.
Chávez “won” the referendum he was supposed to lose in a landslide.
Fidel was thrilled. Chávez was thrilled. They paid the engineers an extra $200,000 and told them: “Perfect this system. Get real voting machines. We’ll use it in Venezuela forever… and let’s export it to other countries.”
And that’s exactly what happened. Suddenly, in the early 2000s, “surprise” leftist victories started popping up across Latin America, Ortega in Nicaragua, Correa in Ecuador, the Kirchners in Argentina.
Fidel Castro, who spent decades failing with jungle guerrillas, finally found his perfect weapon. A touchscreen lottery machine and some Venezuelan code.
This wasn’t a glitch. This was the origin story.
Watch Ralph Pezzullo break it all down. The receipts are wild.
