Show 14-25 Summary: This week it’s a deeper look at the abuse of power by our elected officials. We continue our conversation from last week with senator Dennis Linthicum, who is running for Oregon’s Secretary of State — an office that oversees other agencies and therefore needs a Secretary of State who can and will hold them accountable when they operate outside their limits. And then we also talk with Kimberly Hermann from southeastern legal foundation and their new case against the Biden administration for his overreach. He is trying to give foreign farm workers rights that American farm workers don’t have. And ignoring about 90 years of law to do so.

Show 14-23 Summary: Chasing ballots is not the same as ballot harvesting (which is illegal in some states). We talk with Matthew Martinez, the Chase the Vote Strategist for Turning Point Action about the how behind the how to win. And it’s incredibly simple. A mix of old-time politics and new technology.

This Week – Chasing Ballots: The How in the How to Win
This week it’s all about taking action. After what we saw with the wrongful prosecution and corruption of the justice system in New York leading to a fake felony conviction, the gloves are off. And tin 2024, winning is the only option.
But to do that, it takes strategies, action, and the will to win.
This week we talk with Matthew Martinez, the Chase the Vote Strategist for Turning Point Action — to get the ballots across the finish line this year. Matthew was the field director for the Kari Lake for governor campaign and is now working with Turning Point Action (the political arm of Turning Point USA) to spearhead the effort to get Republican ballots in the ballot box that otherwise not be cast.
Chasing ballots is not the same as ballot harvesting. Ballot harvesting is when someone goes and collects ballots including nightmare voter fraud situations, where someone goes and collects dozens if not hundreds of ballots from places like retirement homes. Where sometimes the voter isn’t even aware that someone took their ballot and voted for them.
Tune in to hear how Turning Point has changed the approach to getting the vote out. Including technology anyone can use to make it simple. Working closely in neighborhoods, he updates us on all the new data that Turning Point has accumulated for all states and how to use it. He also discusses how Republicans lost elections, through unforced errors that Democrats have known how to get around for years.
Why Chasing Ballots?
As the field director for the Kari Lake campaign, Matthew saw firsthand just how a few more votes per precinct in Arizona would have meant a republican governor, and a republican Secretary of State. Just 10 more republican votes turning in their ballots. That’s all.
In Oregon, we had a similar situation. A total of just 4,200 votes across six house districts would have flipped Oregon’s house to Republican control. And how different would the legislative session have looked this year with Republicans in charge of the budget? In one district, a mere 182 votes would have flipped that district. This year, winning is the only option. And this week’s show will help people get those reluctant votes in and across the finish line.
HD 7 (Lane County): 1,208 more votes would have flipped that seat to the Republican
HD 40 (Clackamas): just 182 more votes would have flipped the seat
HD 48 (Clackamas and Multnomah): 618 votes
HD 49 (Multnomah): just 904 votes — in deep blue Multnomah!
HD 50 (Multnomah): only 860 more votes — again, in Multnomah
HD 53 (Deschutes): Only 510 more votes
This was completely doable. The question is, why wasn’t it done?
Chasing Ballots Trainings Are Available
Urge your republican party county chair to chase these ballots. (Mr. Martinez’s contact information is below.)
Turning Point Action is willing to send representatives to do boots on the ground training to use their app and to teach people how to chase ballots by building relationships with their neighbors. All your county chair has to do is ask for help.
Get the Turning Point Action Chasing Ballots App! Just head to your phone’s App Store and look for “TPAction.” And, yes, we have checked it out and it does work for Oregon to find those reluctant republican votes.
And if they won’t? Then you need to take the lead.
Please feel free to reach out to us here at I Spy Radio (info @ ispyradio . com) if you or your county chair would like to help coordinate bringing turning point action representatives to Oregon.

Show 14-21 Summary: Could a loophole in U.S. Criminal Code Title 18 allow illegal aliens to vote in federal elections? We have Catherine Engelbrecht on from True the Vote to discuss what her organization found and how it may open the door to millions of illegals voting in the presidential election. So much for election integrity. And that’s not even the worst of it. But are there signs that even in blue states, like Oregon, people might be done with Joe Biden, his far left policies, and his lawlessness like opening the border to those 10+ millions of illegals. And we talk with Chuck Wiese about the U. S. Supreme Court declining to hear his election integrity case.

This Week – Election Integrity Loophole Allows Illegals to Vote?
A couple weeks ago, Catherine Engelbrecht of True the Vote gave an explosive interview on Tucker Carlson’s show, in which she described what her organization found: a potential loophole in election integrity laws that could allow illegal aliens to vote in federal elections. If they believe they are legal citizens.
We know, coming across the border, the Biden administration and NGO’s have been telling the illegals that they are legal citizens, because they “followed the law” by claiming amnesty. amnesty being the pet door that allows illegals to just walk right in.
Call to action: the 611 Project. Get the handbook at True the Vote
We’ve all wondered why Democrats, and especially Joe Biden, have been flooding the country with 10 to 15,000,000 and possibly more, illegal immigrants. This could certainly explain it.
Except, as Catherine explains, the legal loophole potentially allowing illegal voters to vote for president isn’t even the worst of things. Tune in to hear what else Joe Biden could do.
And then we talk with Oregon’s election integrity political activist, Chuck Wiese. Chuck is a long-time I Spy Radio guest and a fan favorite due to his scientific background and logical insights on issues.Chuck was also part of an election-integrity lawsuit, Thielman et al. vs Oregon Secretary of State, in which they sought to restore integrity and trust to Oregon’s elections. That lawsuit made it all the way to the Supreme Court, which declined to hear the case unfortunately. Tune into here why that may have been and why election integrity is not dead yet in Oregon.
We also look at Oregon’s primary that just happened. surprisingly, it was not a good night for farther-left progressives as “squad wannabes” lost their primary races to more moderate Democrats. Is this a trend? are even Democrats fed up with Joe Biden, his open borders and lawlessness, lawfare against political opponents, and Bidenomics which is killing family finances.

Show 14-11 Summary: The vast majority of Americans used to be able to agree on some simple things. Like free speech and election integrity. You know. The right to free speech and that our elections should be fair, free, and secure against fraud. But no more. And the more the Left uses the power of government to enforce their view of America on the rest of us, the less we’ll agree and the less we’ll look like America. We interview Kimberly Hermann of the Southeastern Legal Foundation and Catherine Engelbrecht from True the Vote. Two women truly on the front lines of liberty. And the fight ahead to save America.

This Week – Free Speech and Election Integrity
With the First Amendment — remember that? — being foundational to America, you would think we would all be able to agree on free speech and election integrity. But we don’t. Why is that?
Because when it comes to free speech and election integrity, Americans are extremely divided. In part, it’s because the Left and the Right have very different ideas about what is free speech and and what is election integrity.
The Right wants to have absolute free speech, as intended by our founders. But the Left thinks government should control speech — what can be said and what can’t. Which is weird because the government is supposed to defend a person’s right to free speech, not compel them to say something or prevent them from saying it.
And the same with elections, which are a form of free speech. The Right thinks of election integrity as limiting the ability for people to cheat and that only those who have a right to vote, should. But the Left only sees integrity in elections when everyone gets to vote, even if they don’t have a legal right to do so.
Free Speech Only for Some?
We talk with Kimberly Hermann, the general counsel for Southeastern Legal Foundation about a curious lawsuit they just filed against the University of New Mexico. But before we get there, we talk about some basics of free speech. Does the First Amendment have an asterisk by it, as the Left would have us believe? And what about this notion that our Founders never envisioned the internet so now we should do away with the free speech? And what about all this censorship? By our own government no less?
And it’s not just our government attempting to censor. It’s our universities. Tune in to hear how UNM decided to fine one side of the political aisle for trying to exercise their rights. And what Southeastern Legal is doing to remind them they have a legal obligation to protect speech. Even if they hate it.
Election Integrity
Then we talk with Catherine Engelbrecht, the president of True the Vote. Because TTV fights for election integrity, and has exposed tens of thousands of instances of voter fraud, they get smeared from time to time. We discuss the latest, in which they’re accused of not having any evidence of a single instance of voter fraud. But who said it? The guy to whom they gave the evidence. Except in his shallow mind, it doesn’t exist if you don’t look at it.
And you’ll never guess who begged for True the Vote’s endorsement.
But with 2024 looming, just voting is no longer an option. Thankfully, do-nothing Ronna McDaniels (the Fani Willis of the Republican Party) is gone at the Republican National Committee. And with new leadership, the RNC has alre3ady fired its first shot. At Michigan. Why? Because in 53 counties, Michigan has more registered voters than actual adults.
We also get Catherine’s insights from the trenches what everyday people can do. And what the RNC needs to focus on in the months ahead.
Mentioned: The Incredible Global Censorship Machine
As mentioned in the closer, Tucker Carlson had a stunning interview with Mike Benz, who revealed the alarming trutch behind the global effort by the Left to use government agencies and anti-free speech laws to censor the Right, who want free speech and smaller government. Watch the short clip, “Is Hate Speech a Loophole in the Constitution?” (Tucker Carlson Network, YT Channel, Mar 3, 2024). Here are some highlights:
The “Global Engagement Center” founded by Rick Stangle, who is a former journalist and described himself as “Obama’s Propagandist in Chief.”
Stangle has made public arguments against the First Amendment and Free Speech
The Global Engagement Center was the first government censorship operation within the federal govt, originally desiged to combat ISIS, which was recruiting on Facebook and Twitter. But then they turned it on American citizens.
It uses Artificial Intelligence to map the entire conversations happening on social media and create a vasty topography of how communities are organized online; major influencers are, what they’re talking about, what narratives are emerging or trending
When Hillary was not elected in 2016, State Department officials left and to prevent another Trump-style victory in the3 future, they convinced European countries to pass censorship laws and use this AI style systems to attack those on the right.
They forced social media companies to employ censorship algorithms. They could be fined $54 million per post that had been identified as “hate speech” by the algorithm if it remained on the site for more than 48 hours
It has the ability to censor 10s of millions of posts with just a few lines of code.
Over 60 universities in the U.S. get federal grants to do this censorship work

Original Air Dates: March 9th & 10th, 2024 | Guest: Pedro Israel Orta
This Week – Digging Deeper into the CIA
CIA officer turned CIA whistleblower Pedro Israel Orta spent some 18 years in the CIA. And when he encountered abuses by a CIA Chief of Base in Afghanistan, he felt compelled to report it. But he quickly found out that whistleblower protections were basically non existent. Because he was the one singled out for punishment. And he was eventually forced out of the CIA. But not before he got to see how other whistleblowers were treated within the intelligence community. Now Pedro is on a mission to reveal the CIA for what it is — from an insider’s view point.
If you missed last week’s show with CIA whistleblower Pedro Israel Orta, you might want to listen to that first, since it sets the stage for this week’s show.
What a CIA Whistleblower Knows
Pedro Israel Orta was an analyst and spent years in covert operations for nearly two decades. This week, we talk to him about in more depth about the CIA itself. And the Deep State intelligence community. Which is supposed to serve the president. But do they? Or are they on their own.
Pedro discusses how the CIA and its forerunners began to take power for itself going back to FDR. Eisenhower tried to warn us about the “military industrialized complex.” And being a former general, he was in a position to know about the rising power of the intelligence agencies. So we ask, why didn’t he do something other than warn us?
And what about Kennedy? He knew the CIA was trying to steer America into a war with Cuba. And Vietnam. And he was going to break up the CIA. So was the CIA involved with killing Kennedy? Yes, we ask.
And what about all those wars and military conflicts since Kennedy? Did the CIA manipulate America into all of them? How does the CIA control presidents into doing their bidding? Yes, we ask all that too.
But then there’s the recent New York Times disclosure that Putin was right. The CIA really was and is operating in Ukraine and using it as a front to attack Russia. (Naturally, the Times is blind to that admission, even though they give Putin all the evidence.) Was it all an intentional leak? And if so, why?

That NY Times article we discuss: “The Spy War: How the C.I.A. Secretly Helps Ukraine Fight Putin” (NYT, Feb 25, 2024)
Just sick and mentally ill by the NY Times writer: “Now these intelligence networks are more important than ever, as Russia is on the offensive and Ukraine is more dependent on sabotage and long-range missile strikes that require spies far behind enemy lines. And they are increasingly at risk: If Republicans in Congress end military funding to Kyiv, the CIA may have to scale back.”
ZeroHedge does a great analysis of that NY Times article. “CIA Built ’12 Secret Spy Bases’ In Ukraine & Waged Shadow War For Last Decade, Bombshell NYT Report Confirms” (ZeroHedge, Feb 26, 2024)
More on Deep State Sabotage
The prospect of a second Trump presidency has the intelligence community on edge (Politico, Feb 26, 2024)
Trump sought major changes at the intel agencies in his first term; former officials say he could be more radical in a second.
Fair warning: this whole article is rife with politics, including the spin that Trump might have colluded, we just can’t prove it. Even a pic of Trump shaking hands with Politico.
“Andrew McCabe, the then-deputy director of the FBI, said the bureau believed that was necessary to keep with a directive from then-President Barack Obama to compile all intelligence U.S. intelligence officials had on Russian meddling.” And that’s the problem. They stayed loyal to Obama, not the new president.
Show 14-09 Summary: While serving in Afghanistan, Pedro Israel Orta was a CIA officer who felt compelled to file a whistleblower complaint when he witnessed situations that were putting his fellow officers in danger. The point of the whistleblower system is to protect someone who comes forward to alert higher-ups about problems and protect them from the people responsible. Especially if that person has authority over the whistleblower. But what happens when the system itself is corrupt? And turns on whistleblowers who expose actual problems? Pedro Orta found out firsthand what happens when the system turns on its own. And how a system designed to protect can be used against the Deep State’s enemies.

This Week – CIA Whistleblower
We welcome first-time guest, Pedro Israel Orta, who joined the CIA looking to serve his country after his family had fled the tyranny of the Castro regime.He spent 18 years with them, serving a variety of posts, primarily as an analyst, and covert field work as well.
But while serving in Afghanistan, Pedro witnessed situations that were putting his fellow officers in danger due to a Chief of Base who was inexperienced with war zones. And turned the station into more of a social club. They were there to do a mission. And she was endangering them through her actions. So Pedro felt compelled to file a whistleblower complaint. But instead of the system taking action to protect the lives of its officers, the CIA turned on him, the whistleblower.
The point of the whistleblower system is to protect someone who comes forward to alert higher-ups about problems and protect them from the people responsible. Especially if that person has authority over the whistleblower. But what happens when the system itself is corrupt? And turns on whistleblowers who expose actual problems? Pedro Orta found out firsthand what happens when the system turns on its own.
Broken Whistle – A Deep State Run Amok
As a CIA whistleblower, Pedro found out the hard way that the CIA does not want to shine the light on its own abuses. Tune in to hear how the system turned on him, someone who was merely trying to shine a light on a problem so others would not be put in the same dangerous situations.
We discuss the CIA whistleblower program, what happened to other CIA whistleblowers, and whistleblowers from across the intelligence community. What you’ll hear is a system that refuses to look at its own problems. And sees the best solutions for problems is to ignore them. And silence those who want to fix the system. In doing so, it also bullies others who might want to come forward with the implied threat: do it, and we’ll make sure you regret it. Is it any wonder our intelligence community has become so corrupt?
After being fired from the CIA, Pedro wrote a book about his experiences: Broken Whistle: A Deep State Run Amok, which was just published in February 2024.
Whistleblower System – Used and Corrupted
But it’s more than just whistleblowers who want to come forward. In his book, Pedro exposes how the whistleblower system, which was designed to protect people against systemic abuses, was itself corrupted. In his first chapter, Pedro exposes how the whistleblower system was corrupted by the Deep State to go after President Trump. The intelligence community altered whistleblower forms retroactively, changed the rules to allow secondhand reports, and then banded together to defend their own corruption. All to go after a sitting president.
Why? In our opinion, it was that “perfect phone call” to Zelensky, raising an investigation into Joe Biden. Because if Trump opened that door, there were dozens, if not hundreds, of corrupt people behind it. And that was a door that couldn’t be allowed to be opened.
We hope to have a part two with CIA whistleblower Pedro Israel Orta in the very near future. There is a lot more to uncover and we only just scratched the surface.

This Week – Government Creep
Government used to grow slowly. Incrementally. It used to be called “government creep” but now it’s growing by leaps and bounds. And it’s not Superman up there. It’s Lex Luthor in all his villainy.
Because the worst part about government creep is that it always grows for all the wrong reasons. It would be one thing if it got bigger and better about defending our Constitutional rights. But whenever government grows, it’s to find ways around the Constitution. And, of course, it’s about rewarding politicians’ and bureaucrats’ friends and allies. Who, all too often do not have America’s best interests at heart. And Americans pay the literal price. And at the price of our freedoms.
ONRI Continues the Fight
This week, we talk with Jennifer Hamaker of ONRI (Oregon Natural Resource Industries) about the continuing fights against government creep and using the excuse of the environment to do it. “Save the planet” has duped too many people into thinking environmental government creep is even remotely about the environment. Let alone saving the planet.
No. It’s about spending American tax dollars on things that will transfer enormous amounts of taxpayer dollars to leftist groups. Face it. Climate Change. Environmentalism. Global Warming. It’s all socialism. And none of it would exist without cash payments from the taxpayers.
And the Far Left will not blink when it comes to getting those billions. Hundreds of billions. Even to the point of ignoring people (so much for “democracy”) and ignoring public meeting laws. Recently, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) announced it will ignore public outcry, forego any more public meetings, and just approve the plan for Oregon’s offshore wind farms anyway.
But it’s not over.
Remember. Oregon’s Appeals Court threw out Governor Brown’s “Climate Protection Plan” (a carbon credit scheme). Why? Because the agency pushing it, wait for it… ignored public meeting laws.
Jen updates us on what happened, what’s next, and their other fights to raise public awareness of what Oregon’s very Far Left “environmentalists” want to do, which will destroy, not save, the environment.
Don’t be silent. The wins we’ve had recently — like the cancellation of the Elliott State Research Forest — happened because people did not stay silent.
Are you a landowner? Do you have a forest you’d like to harvest? Then you need to contact ONRI. They are looking to form a class-action lawsuit to stop the Private Forest Accord. See the contact links on either ONRI.us or OregonStrongerTogether.com
Government Creep is Just Creepy
Then we talk with Representative Ed Diehl (OR-HD17), whose public records request was the basis of that Daily Caller article we mentioned a few weeks back during our show with Catherine Engelbrecht of True the Vote. We have been following the ongoing story of the Secretary of State’s scheme to monitor, track, and, yes, censor free speech about our elections. The elections division hired an A.I. company to help them hunt down whatever the democrats in charge of the elections division deem to be mis-, dis-, or mal-information. Or “MDM.”
In case you don’t know, “A.I.” is “artificial intelligence.” Because, apparently, there’s no real intelligence at the elections division. If there were, they would know this is a horrible idea.
As a state representative, Ed Diehl got access to the MDM program documents. Agencies tend to respond to legislative requests, and far better and with less stalling than requests from the public. Or from the media for that matter. Some of the documents were heavily redacted. Except it turns out they weren’t actually redacted. Whoops.
Yes, Oregon. It’s Election Free Speech Censorship
In case you haven’t already, read that Daily Caller article about Oregon’s MDM elections censorship program. It’s a great summary of what they’re trying to do. And how they’re trying to justify spying on, censoring, and threatening people for daring to exercise their free speech. (To quote Greta: “How dare you!”)
Find out more about Rep. Ed Diehl at his website, www.EdDiehl.com
We talk with Ed about what he uncovered. Don’t miss the discussion about the Twitter Files, about the government using Big Tech to censor free speech about elections. Which the A.I. flagged as “worrisome.” Weird. Big Tech and government consider stories exposing government using big tech to censor as worrisome? Oh, the irony. And hypocrisy.

Show 14-07 Summary: If you don’t speak up, you’ll lose it. Free speech is under attack. And it turns out censorship is already more widespread than we’d previously believed. By the federal government, yes; by state governments, yes. But now cities? This week, it’s all about defending free speech and exposing censorship of it.

This Week – Exposing Censorship
Two new-to-us guests this week. But both share their experiences and insights into censorship and the fight for free speech. Which the government is supposed to defend. But right now it is the worst offender when it comes to censorship. (By the way, a big win on censorship that broke after our interview. More below.)
First up is Austin VanDerHeyden from the Goldwater Institute, which is based in Phoenix Arizona. The Goldwater Institute has defended free speech and other civil liberties since 1988. But it turns out they had a city right in their own backyard that was busy spying on and censoring city employee’s free speech.
Then we talk with Joseph Vazquez from the Media Research Center, which has been America’s media watchdog against Left-Wing bias in the news since 1987. Back then it was countering and exposing the Left bias in the media. But now MRC has a new program focused on free speech and fighting censorship. Especially by Big Tech.
Because as we see with Oregon’s A.I.-powered elections monitoring and censorship program to combat whatever the democrats in charge deem to be mi-, dis-, or mal-information (MDM), Big Tech and artificial intelligence are weaponizing technology against the rights of citizens. And, again, let us remind governments, at all levels, that the role of government is defend free speech. Even and especially speech with which it disagrees. It’s role is not to determine what is acceptable or allowed.
Did you miss our previous shows about Oregon’s MDM elections monitoring and censorship program? See these shows, 13-43, 13-45, and the related show, 14-03 with True The Vote. And this article from The Daily Caller about it.

News! Censorship Can Be Stopped
Thankfully, there are sensible judges still out there who recognize that the Constitution means it when it says the government’s duty is to protect free speech, not censor it. On Friday, after our interview, news broke of a big win by RFK Jr., who had sued the federal government. Which, despite its constitutional duty, agencies within the federal government have been working with Big Tech to censor whatever it didn’t like. About such things as covid, the vaccines, global warming/climate change, transgenderism and more.
The ruling is essentially on hold until after the bigger and broader Missouri v. Biden, which is currently at the Supreme Court, awaiting a ruling. But. This ruling prevents Biden and his gestapo agencies from working with social media companies to suppress free speech. But this definitely fires a shot across the bow of U.S.S. Censorship.

Show 14-04 Summary: There’s no justice in a “just us” world. Whether you’re talking lawfare for one side but prosecutors are willingly blind for the other side. Or whether you’re talking corporate governance where one side’s ideology is forced onto how companies do business. But the good news is, this kind of discrimination may finally be starting to catch up with the Left.

We talk with Paul Kamenar, the lead counsel for National Legal and Policy Center for his legal analysis about the cases against Trump, the corruption in the Fani Willis office (one of the prosecutors determined to “get Trump”), and the Hunter Biden cases.
And then we talk about the poison of “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” that has been pushed by trillion-dollar Leftist hedge funds on corporate America. Except now they’re pulling back on this racist hiring practice. It turns out Boeing’s planes aren’t the only thing whose wheels are falling off. But why now?

This Week – True the Vote
There’s a famous letter that starts out, “Yes, Virginia, there really is a Santa Claus.” While states like Oregon are monitoring, censoring, and blocking anything the democrats in charge deem to be “misinformation” about elections, they treat election fraud as if it’s some non-existent, mythical being. Well, sorry but, “Yes, Oregon, there really is election fraud.”
Did you know? There are 23 states who are all using artificial intelligence (AI) to monitor, censor, and block discussions about elections? And did you know that all 23 of them are led by democrats?
If you saw the absolute viciousness with which democrats, mainstream media, social media, and democrat-led judiciary all attacked anyone who dared ask questions about the 2020 election, you knew something was up. Why? Because all of those had just questioned the 2016 election. With huge, violent protests in D.C. and other cities. Republicans didn’t censor them. Republicans didn’t viciously attack any doubters.
But when Republicans questioned 2020? They were silenced, censored, and attacked. Court cases thrown out. And yet, here we are, three years later, and the claims made about the 2020 election fraud are proving true.
This week, we welcome Catherine Engelbrecht of True the Vote to talk about their recent huge win in Georgia. How big? It was so big, the mainstream media did their best to make sure you didn’t notice.
Tune in to find out why this case was so important for election integrity moving forward. You’ll also hear:
The weird and ironic problem of conflicting federal election laws preventing the enforcement of election integrity
How Obamacare ensures phantom voters on the voter rolls
Why the cased against Oregon’s AI-powered election censorship program and attack on free speech is so important to defeat
Some myth-busting about election integrity
This week’s show is definitely a “don’t miss”!
