Militias. Distrust of government. Abuse of power. The right to bear arms. Not a day passed without a passionate article or an editorial on the role of guns in American life. The year was 1775. More than 200 years later, the seminal debate undertaken as John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison formulated the laws of the land still echoes. Is the Michigan Militia an aberration or the Constitution in action? Is Gordon Liddy a dangerous demagogue or a devoted patriot? What exactly did the founding fathers mean when they penned the Second Amendment? No sampler can do justice to the debate, but the following excerpts shed light on the perceived relation between arms and liberty.

“… arms… discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property. … Horrid mischief would ensue were (the law-abiding) deprived the use of them.” -Thomas Paine.

“Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms [of government] those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny.” -Thomas Jefferson, Bill for the More General diffusion of Knowledge (1778).

“The best we can hope for concerning the people at large is that they be properly armed.” -Alexander Hamilton, The Federalist Papers p. 184-B.

Much, much more ...

U.S. Voting Machines Vulnerable After All

The nation’s top cybersecurity agency admits software vulnerabilities in electronic voting machines used in many states.

In an advisory publicly released on Friday, the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency (CISA) identified nine flaws in Dominion Voting Systems software. Dubbed the Democracy Suite ImageCast X, it is an interactive technology that allows voters to mark their ballots electronically.

The advisory says that Dominion machines are susceptible to manipulation by those with physical access to the voting devices or access to the Election Management System (EMS). The latter is software called Democracy Suite, which the company says powers “all Dominion products.”

CISA’s advisory also warns that Dominion technology is open to hackers who could modify files even “before they are uploaded to ImageCast X devices.”

CISA is the same agency that issued a November 13, 2020 statement calling that year’s general election just 10 days prior, “the most secure in American history.” … ROFL
