The US State Department (DOS) and the Joe Biden regime have aggressively suppressed the truth and disseminated lies to install their communist puppet Bernardo Arévalo as Guatemala’s president. The electoral authority (TSE) committed fraud in the 2023 elections—as documented by Guatemala’s Prosecutor General’s Office (PGO)—while coordinating with US officials.
The December 8 PGO report shows contracting of partisan computer operators, legally unsupported votes, and premature vote reporting. These findings challenge US House of Representatives leadership to investigate Biden regime and DOS involvement in the fraud. An investigation would add to congressional efforts to expose the weaponization of our government.
DOS personnel conspired with TSE magistrates prior to the June 25 election. Dark-horse candidate Arévalo qualified for the August 20 runoff with 12 percent of the vote, after not receiving more than 3 percent support in any poll. His Semilla party failed to win any of 340 municipal elections, an unprecedented anomaly.
DOS and the Biden regime waged information warfare against Guatemalans: talking points disseminated by corrupt media and agents to deceive people into believing the result was legitimate. DOS and the Biden regime pressured government officials and private-sector organizations to remove Prosecutor General Consuelo Porras and accept Arévalo as president-elect.
The law obligated Porras and the PGO to investigate more than 1,000 complaints of electoral crimes. Semilla petitioned the judiciary to order the PGO not to interfere in electoral matters, as had been alleged by DOS and the Biden regime. The Constitutional Court, however, ordered the PGO to continue investigating and to report the results to all relevant bodies.
The House Foreign Affairs Committee (HFAC) echoed DOS’s false charge of PGO election interference in a July 14 press release. HFAC Chairman Michael McCaul also urged the Biden regime to sanction supposedly corrupt actors.
Five days later, DOS undermined the PGO’s law enforcement capability by sanctioning a prosecutor without basis. The PGO countered with a September 12 letter to HFAC detailing DOS crimes, including arbitrarily sanctioning the prosecutor.
Biden and DOS officials took over Guatemala’s justice system in 2016. After damage to the country and despite Biden regime pressure, Guatemalan officials in 2021 appointed high-court magistrates not controlled by DOS. This freed Porras to prosecute prosecutors and judges who had executed DOS officials’ criminal agenda. This prompted DOS to sanction Porras.
When Porras’s term was expiring in 2022, DOS openly and illegally but unsuccessfully intervened to prevent her reappointment. This meddling generated numerous congressional inquiries. However, DOS failed to answer because lying to Congress is a felony and telling the truth would draw unwanted attention.
HFAC has ignored many reasons to investigate DOS criminality. Just the contradiction between its accusations against the PGO and the PGO’s September 12 response is reason to investigate.
The Justice Department on March 16 praised Guatemalan law enforcement for unprecedented cooperation regarding human-smuggler extraditions. This contrasts with DOS condemnation of Porras since only the PGO can request extraditions.
DOS has prepared everyone to believe the PGO is corrupt and has no jurisdiction over electoral matters. This is false, but the Biden regime wants people to believe its lies instead of seeking truth.
The PGO’s report of electoral fraud alongside HFAC’s inaction should provoke House leadership to investigate and expose Biden regime and DOS weaponization of our government abroad: supporting our adversaries and attacking our allies. DOS puppet Arévalo is part of the socialist Puebla Group that backs Iran, Hamas, and the Chinese Communist Party.
The lawful next step for Guatemala is to annul the presidential election. The TSE will decide that, and the high court will have the last word. The law is clear.
Like at home, the Biden regime abroad cares not for law and has contempt for Congress. DOS’s de-facto exemption from congressional oversight has made it arrogant and out of control.
DOS acts elsewhere as it has in Guatemala. Investigations of its and the Biden regime’s criminality abroad would bring forth similar stories from other countries.
DOS officials past and present, those not part of this criminality, would testify if credible investigations and hearings were conducted. The same applies to security agency personnel who have information about DOS crimes but have had no reasonable way to come forward.
Unlike the Justice Department, which can claim “ongoing investigations” as an excuse to stonewall Congress, DOS has no such pretext. Seeing egregious Biden regime and DOS criminality will complement and empower Oversight, Judiciary, and Ways and Means committee exposures of domestic weaponization of the federal government.
This will help pave the way to restructure the federal bureaucracy and change how it works, a necessity for a pro-US government beginning in 2025. One courageous Guatemalan prosecutor general dedicated to the law has given us an example of what truth and principles can do to restore our liberty. We need such an attorney general in the United States.
