They’ve got Tina.

When I heard someone say that, it was the first time I felt slight concern, though not enough, about a now 70 year old woman who was a Mesa County, Colorado county clerk.

County clerk. It’s a position that seems innocuous enough.* It is a job that includes preserving birth, death, marriage, and vital statistics records. These include deeds, liens, and judgments. Business licenses. Construction permits. Court documents. County clerks are responsible for entering data into computer systems and maintaining accurate records of all transactions and documents. And often the job includes overseeing the administration of local elections. And that responsibility includes maintaining votes from an election for 22 months following the election and 4 years following a contested election.

I’d heard a few things here and there, but didn’t pay close attention. However, Tina Peters’ name kept being mentioned.

As I understand it, some Mesa county citizens expressed their concern over votes being manipulated in the 2020 election and before that, as well. Tina didn’t take it very much to heart. After all, the system seemed to run smoothly enough and she trusted it. And then Dominion, the computer system relied on during elections asked to service their machine. Tina agreed, but out of an abundance of caution before they came to do so, she had an expert come in and, to simplify things in a way people like me can understand it, take a picture of the original vote results. After Dominion serviced the machine, Tina asked the same computer expert to take a picture again. It showed that data had been deleted and completely wiped off the server. Tina’s decision to so preserve those vote results provided proof of the felonious actions of removing critically important election-related data files (before it is legal to do so) under the guise of supposed “software update maintenance”.

Reports were made, accusations flew and now Tina is spending 9 years in prison. Her husband died in the midst of the trouble. Her home was raided including precious items of this Navy SEAL Gold Star Mother’s son. It seems like overkill for a county clerk, doesn’t it?

PBS called her a Republican election denier. The AP called her whistleblowing a voting data scheme. The judge called her a charlatan. (By the way, judges are the ones who determine which evidence is allowed and disallowed at trial.)

AP said “Peters was convicted of three counts of attempting to influence a public servant, one count of conspiracy to commit criminal impersonation, first-degree official misconduct, violation of duty and failing to comply with the secretary of state.

She was found not guilty of identity theft, one count of conspiracy to commit criminal impersonation and one count of criminal impersonation. Yet she persisted on social media to accuse Colorado-based Dominion Voting Systems, which made her county’s election system, and others of stealing votes.”

Why would a 70 year old county clerk persist in a lie when faced with prison and nine years, at that? I’ve heard prison is harder on women than men. I don’t know if it is, but it wouldn’t surprise me.

All of us need to do some research. Then we need to think about the perspective of the sources we are using and their biases and ours. But we are obligated in this wide world to do more than sigh or watch someone else tell us what to think.

So I won’t tell you what to think, but I’ll tell you what I think. I think elections are important, and this case shouts that this election needed a specific result, something must be covered up, and someone must be silenced. And the reason that is usually done in nations the world over is that someone(s) is threatened by a loss of control.

We believe we are aware of the stakes in the 2020 election, but I don’t think any of us is to a full extent. No. Someone is very protective of their control. I have to ask why. The usual suspect is money. Maybe. Maybe it’s more than that. Yes, it’s more than that.

We do know that trafficking of children, women, and drugs is at an all-time high. We know that at least 300,000 children have been “lost” in the last 4 years upon crossing our border. That’s a lot of Amber Alerts. Drugs can be sold once. A child can be sold dozens of times a day.

A child-trafficking network of this degree needs corrupt officials. It needs DHS, Secretary of State, Presidential approval, Office of Refugee Resettlement, and HHS to give a means to step away from protections that at one time had been put in place. As of March 2021, for instance, background checks are no longer required of each resident for a child to be placed in a home. The network also involves NGO’s, many liberal Christian charity groups, which receive money with no bid contracts to facilitate some of the trafficking and help cartels make money, helping themselves to payouts in the process. Our federal government uses these organizations to launder money. Said another way, public private partnerships use tax dollars to fund the world’s largest child trafficking organization. Democrats put it in place. Republicans funded it by abdicating their power of the purse.

US taxes fund trafficking. Let me say it again. US taxes fund trafficking. Are we understanding the enormity of this yet?  Entities involved in trafficking as well as the by now cascading travesties compromising our very nation needed cover by people willing to be bribed or weak enough to be blackmailed. And the integrity of our elections figures into that. A woman named Tina stood her ground, told the truth, and sent that beast of a network into a frenzy.

Jesus came and sacrificed himself on the cross to save our souls. But God put us in charge of the earth. We need to clean up this mess. Christians, we are not called to escape. We are expected to reign. We are expected to call a spade a spade. We are expected to not turn the other way.

Can we start by at least getting on board to stand with Tina, the County Clerk, and FREE TINA PETERS?
