Unmasking 2020: How One Author Connects Pandemic, Election and Power Shifts

By OBBM Network Editorial Staff

Ann Vandersteel

Everything you thought you knew about 2020 was a lie. That’s the provocative premise behind Jack Danger’s latest book, *By Design, The Viral Vote*, and the claim that sparked a heated dialogue on Steel News With Ann Vandersteel.

Re‑examining 2020 through a single lens

Danger invites listeners to view the pandemic, the election and the subsequent policy decisions as a single, intertwined story. He suggests that the rollout of the COVID‑19 vaccine, branded as “Operation Warp Speed,” was not merely a public‑health effort but part of a broader strategy to shape public perception. The host, Ann Vandersteel, echoes this sentiment, noting how “businesses were shut down, churches were closed… we had an election that unfolded under conditions Americans had never, ever seen before.”

The conversation moves quickly to the notion of foreign meddling. Danger points to “machines that are being held at ProV&V” in Fulton County, Pennsylvania, which the Department of Justice plans to seize as evidence of foreign intervention. He argues this supports a longer historical pattern of CIA involvement in elections across 72 countries over the past 22 years.

Trump administration’s response and the push for accountability

When the discussion turns to the current administration, Vandersteel highlights President Trump’s role as commander‑in‑chief, noting that “with our president being the head of the military, there might even be some merit to where he can actually just take over in certain areas.” The hosts see this as a potential check on what they describe as a “brain‑washed” half of the country, suggesting that decisive federal leadership could counteract perceived corruption.

Danger also praises recent efforts to curb vaccine mandates, stating, “No more vaccine mandates, not just COVID, any vaccine.” This aligns with the administration’s broader push to restore personal freedoms and limit government overreach.

Local fraud and the call for grassroots action

The dialogue shifts to municipal-level concerns. Danger asserts that “there is so much fraud in what’s happening across our municipalities,” urging citizens to take a “local stance” rather than relying solely on Washington. He commends the work of county commissioners like Kristen and Megan Kelly, who have engaged experts on issues ranging from water scarcity in Florida to the impact of hyperscale data centers on local infrastructure.

Vandersteel adds that “the CIA has done a marvelous job. Hollywood’s done a great job of getting us enamored with what goes on in D.C.” The pair argue that exposing these dynamics at the community level is essential for meaningful reform.

What readers can do: From awareness to action

Danger offers a straightforward mantra: “Stand up. Get the truth out there and let the chips fall where they may.” He encourages readers to scrutinize official narratives, support legislation that requires government entities to accept cash for taxes and fees, and remain vigilant against foreign influence.

Ann Vandersteel reinforces this call to action, praising Danger’s investigative approach and noting, “I talk to a lot of people, but I haven’t met someone, even with all the other people that I’ve interviewed, you are so well‑informed.” The host’s endorsement underscores the importance of informed citizenry in safeguarding democracy.

Broader significance: Connecting the dots for a healthier democracy

The conversation on Steel News underscores a growing sentiment among many Americans that the events of 2020 were not isolated mishaps but parts of a coordinated effort to reshape political power. By linking pandemic response, election integrity, and foreign interference, Danger’s narrative challenges listeners to reconsider the role of federal leadership, especially under President Trump, in defending constitutional freedoms. Whether one agrees with his conclusions or not, the dialogue highlights a pressing need for transparency, local engagement, and a vigilant electorate.
