Former co-chair of DLA Piper, Nigel Knowles, is on the board of a new #Smartmatic spin-off company w/ the original Venezuelan Smartmatic founders

thenomanzone.com/index.php/2020… #KamalaHarris
In 2016, DLA Piper's Nigel Knowles, stepped down as global co-chair but remained a consultant for the firm.

Knowles, who had been at DLA Piper for decades, is now an active board member on Smartmatic's spin-off company, SGO.

sgo.com/about/ Image
DLA Piper has represented at least one CCP-owned organizations, and has more than one individual on staff who has worked on staff in CCP-owned organizations.

Let's go through the investigation:
Venezuelan nationals Roger Piñate and Antonio Mugica founded Smartmatic back in 2000.

Now, the pair has launched an investment firm that aims to "invest in ventures working on...democratic participation, government efficiency, pollution control, and identity and privacy." Image
One of the individuals listed on the board of directors at SGO is none other than Sir Nigel Knowles.

After roughly 40 years at DLA Piper, Knowles stepped down as co-chair (just a year after getting the position) & resigned as senior partner in 2016.

Kamala Harris' husband, Doug Emhoff, was made a partner at DLA Piper in 2017 - one year after Knowles stepped down from his role as co-chair. dlapiper.com/en/us/people/e…
Emhoff has now recently stated that he will be leaving the law firm to take on his new role in the possible Biden-Harris administration. yahoo.com/lifestyle/doug…
What's even more interesting:

DLA Piper has had a history of representing #CCP-owned or influenced clients. They also have multiple individuals working in their #China offices that have operated at high levels within CCP-owned companies prior to their tenure at DLA Piper. Image
For instance, a senior PRC advisor Jessica Jing Zhao served as the Deputy Secretary General of CEITAC, a primary arbitration commission founded by the #CCP's State Council of the People's Republic of China. dlapiper.com/en/us/people/z…

Info on CEITAC here: english.www.gov.cn
In another instance, Ernest Yang, a partner & head of the litigation / regulatory division in Hong Kong previously worked in CPPCC (Chinese People's Political Consultive Conference). The CPPCC is a legal advisory group & direct wing of the CCP dlapiper.com/en/us/people/y…
In 2017, DLA Piper boasted their advisory work with China East Airlines, an airline owned 62% by the Chinese government. dlapiper.com/en/hongkong/ne…

My latest:

Lobbyists for #DominionVotingSystems previously worked in the DOJ, for Vice President Dick Cheney, & Nancy Pelosi.

#Dominion's lobbying efforts were targeted around "election security," & "monitoring federal legislation."

#Elections2020
This year alone, Dominion Voting Systems has spent 150,000 on lobbying efforts focused on "election security" and "monitoring federal legislation" through the firm Brownstien Hyatt Farber Schreck.

#DominionSoftware
The Nancy Pelosi link was first covered DJHJ Media. To understand the scope of Dominion's lobbying connections, I felt it crucial to cover all (left and right) of the legislative connections held by Dominion's 2020 lobbyists.

My latest:

In 2010, Dominion Voting Systems purchased a company that had been under U.S. scrutiny for potential ties to the Venezuelan Chavez regime.

The purchase included intellectual property, hardware, software, and firmware.

#DominionVotingSystems (a Canadian company) acquired Sequoia Voting Systems in 2010.

Sequoia was sold to Dominion by their parent company, Smartmantic. Smartmantic had Venezuelan founders & collaborative ties companies with partial Chavez regime ownership. #2020Election
In the purchase of Sequoia, #Dominion acquired the company’s intellectual property, software, firmware, and hardware.

Essentially, the way the machines worked, their design, & programming was transferred to Dominion with the purchase.

From "mostly peaceful" to "largely glitch free" 😑

2019: Brennan Center published a report exposing the cyber security & supply chain weaknesses in U.S. voting machines.

They referenced Russian interference in the 2016 election (when @HillaryClinton lost to @realDonaldTrump)
They even included in the report that a SINGLE COUNTY in #Pennsylvania with a machine security weakness could have major implications for the rest of the county. ⬅️

In the #2020PresidentialElection two states, #Michigan and #GEORGIA have experienced odd voting machines issues...
But the Brennan Center isn't worried anymore.

An article on their home page, written by the orgs president, is calling the election "largely glitch free" - a win for democracy.

Voting machine cyber security issues and a foreign supply chain had been areas of concern since 2005.

But in the face of a Donald Trump loss, those concerns are out the window for some.
thenomanzone.com/index.php/2020…
Dominion Voting Systems is under scrutiny after the #Michigan GOP discovered the software flipped 6,000 votes cast for Republican in favor of their Democrats competitors.

In #Georgia, DVS machines went down due to what the county clerk called an “vendor update” the night before
Now, lawyer @SidneyPowell1 is calling the vote-switching that occurred in Michigan a “feature” of Dominion’s software. This statement is supported by US voting machine manufacturers’ history of lax cyber security improvement & lack of supply chain integrity.

I explain below:

#Breaking:

The Great Lakes Justice center has filed a lawsuit on behalf of two plantiffs who say they witnessed serious election interference at the #Detroit TCF center.

The lawsuit is in the link below:

#Michigan #Election2020 #2020Election
The plantiffs allege:

1. "Ballots were counted even though the voter’s name did not appear in the official voter rolls."

2. Election workers were ordered to not verify signatures on absentee ballots, to backdate absentee ballots, & to process ballots regardless of validity. ImageImage
3. Election workers processed ballots that appeared after the election deadline and falsely reported that those ballots had been received prior to November 3, 2020 deadline. Image

It is now confirmed the shooter held tribalistic leftist beliefs.

We now find that he had NO record of a security license in the city of #Denver.

There are photos showing Antifa was present at the rally to counter protest.

Meanwhile, 🦗 from @GovofCO, @MayorHancock ImageImageImage
For the record, Mayor Hancock has put out his best wishes to the victim's family and this is an ongoing investigation.

That said, it doesn't take journalists to see that the shooter held leftist beliefs.

Mayor Hancock has made it clear extremists aren't welcome in Denver -
that said, extremists like the @pslweb have been openly supported by elected officials in the Denver area for months now.

Some elected officials have actually attended protests thrown by these groups.

Hancock and the Governor haven't addressed the fact that city council /
