Maria Zack joined Christopher James of A Warrior Calls to discuss ItalyGate – the plot to hack the Nov. 3 U.S. election by intelligence operatives acting out of Italy.

Zack recounts information she and her organization Nations in Action were given about an IT employee working with billion-dollar Italian defense contractor Leonardo SpA who was allegedly ordered to upload computer code to military satellites to change votes in the U.S. election.

That employee, Arturo D’Elia then told his wife what he was told to do by his employer. “I don’t understand why we are we interfering in America’s election,” he reportedly told her. D’Elia’s wife would in turn tell friends and family about the plot. The story ultimately garnered attention from Italian authorities and when D’Elia was questioned he reportedly blew the whistle.

Zack and NIA were given a name of a U.S. State Department employee who helped carry the operation out. That employee, Stefano Serafini, reportedly worked with a high-ranking Italian military official General Claudio Graziano on the operation.

“They were also able to discover the go order,” Zack says of the Italian individuals who are working with her to expose the truth.

“[The perpetrators] plotted from about early spring of 2020 all the way through the year and activated this plan,” Zack says. “And when they did it…this gentleman who goes by Stefano Serafini, actually called General Graziano’s satellite cell phone and we were provided those cell phone numbers.”

“Maybe I should publish them and let everybody call General Graziano,” Zack added jokingly. “I think the world deserves to know this proof that is out there and it is shocking, Chris.”
