# Kraken Keeper > Legal teams challenge the 2020 election results with claims of Venezuelan software interference while global leaders push for biometric digital identities and renewed pandemic lockdowns. - **Show:** [The No Agenda Show](https://search.noagendashow.net/index.md) - **Episode:** 1296 - **Published:** 2020-11-20 - **Length:** 3h 26m - **Topics:** [Smartmatic](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/smartmatic.md), [Digital ID](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/digital-id.md), [French Laundry](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/french-laundry.md), [Cyber Pandemic](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/cyber-pandemic.md), Hydrogen Power, [Dominion](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/dominion.md) - **Web page:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1296-kraken-keeper ## About this episode Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell held a high-stakes press conference alleging widespread election fraud involving Smartmatic software and Dominion voting systems. The legal team claimed that algorithms originally developed for Hugo Chavez in Venezuela were used to shift millions of votes from Donald Trump to Joe Biden. These allegations center on a supposed midnight backfilling of ballots in Philadelphia and a whistleblower affidavit detailing real-time vote manipulation without a paper trail. Dr. Roger Hodkinson labeled the COVID-19 pandemic the greatest hoax ever perpetrated during an Edmonton advisory committee meeting, arguing that masks and social distancing are ineffective against aerosol transmission. California Governor Gavin Newsom faced intense backlash for violating his own health guidelines at a French Laundry dinner, while New York City shuttered schools after hitting a three-percent positivity rate. Meanwhile, the United Nations is piloting a biometric Digital ID system using blockchain, and Klaus Schwab of the World Economic Forum warned of a looming cyber pandemic that could collapse global power and internet infrastructure. Dr. Anthony Fauci recommended that vaccinated individuals continue masking as Pfizer updated its efficacy rating to 95 percent. In the United Kingdom, Prime Minister Boris Johnson unveiled a ten-point Green Plan focused on hydrogen power to replace fossil fuels. The program concludes with a formal knighting ceremony for the No Agenda Nation and reports of illegal picnics in Denver and Quebec City as listeners prepare for renewed lockdowns. ## Chapters Each chapter's transcript is at its own link.
