An enjoyable history of ethnobotany by Dr. Mark Plotkin over at @tferriss site.

Except when he refers to the Great Plains as the traditional lands of the Kiowa. That's not true. The Kiowa originated in the mountains of BC and Montana.

tim.blog/2021/04/08/pla… 2/ The constant war that characterized tribal cultures drove the Kiowa south until they arrived at the plains, where they found horses introduced by the Spanish.

The Kiowa quickly adapted to horseback and it was only then that they spread out onto the plains ...

If you think Kamala Harris is a soulless opportunist you don't know the half of it.

No one pushed the fake Russia dossier harder than Kamala.

But unlike most people, she knew from the start that the dossier was fake.

Why?

1/4 Because Kamala's sister Maya was a senior aide to Clinton in 2016 when they got their campaign lawyer Marc Elias to procure the dossier.

Maya knew immediately that it was BS to distract attention from Hilary's email scandal.

So Kamala knew as well.

Want more proof?

The Black Lives Matter founder Patrisse Cullors and her partner Janaya Khan are weapons-grade grifters and hypocrites. Check it out.

1. Patrisse calls herself a "trained Marxist" but just signed a lucrative, multi-year TV deal with Warner Bros.

variety.com/2020/tv/news/b… 2. They're "traumatized" by white organizations but both of them just signed with the VERY white and elite Hollywood talent agency CAA.

3. Patrisse howls about corporate greed but will charge you $10,000 to chat on Zoom.

Kamala Harris' speeches are littered with complaints about unfairness in America. And you know what, she's right.

Because some people, like Kamala, were raised by successful professors in wealthy suburbs like Westmount in Montreal with regular holidays in India and Jamaica. Then at just 29 years old, her married boyfriend Willie Brown named her to 3 important boards in California.

The Medical Assistance Commission alone paid her $70,000 a year to meet twice a month - and she still missed 20% of meetings.

There's something fishy about Fremont, California.

I'm looking through the Facebook page of Chinese spy Christine Fang, and I see one of her friends is Teresa Keng, a Fremont councilmember.

This year, Keng was caught promoting the Alliance for China's Peaceful Reunification. The Alliance is a local propaganda arm of the Chinese Communist Party.

There's more.

Last year, Keng, councilmember Yang Shao and Mayor Lily Mei were caught hosting a meeting with China's Consul General Wang Donghua.

Maybe you're wondering what happened to Russell Lowe, the spy for China who infiltrated Diane Feinstein's office.

He didn't go on the run. He's not in jail.

He's an activist in San Francisco.

Let's look at a photo. That's Lowe on the left.

In the middle is Mike Wong. Last year, he told the communist China Daily that the US was stirring up violence in Hong Kong and any US response:

"would punish Hong Kong for being freer and more democratic than America."

1/ Want to hear something crazy?

You already know that rabid anti-Trumper John Lilly sits on the board of VotingWorks, which was founded by another rabid anti-Trumper Ben Adida.

And that they were still allowed to audit the Georgia recount. 2/ But maybe you didn't know that Lilly is a partner at Greylock, a VC firm that gave over $5 million to Democrats for the 2020 election.

And that fellow Greylock partner Reid Hoffman is, as we speak, raising money for Ossoff and Warnock's runoff.

1/ The US election is broken. Activists, politicians and even judges burned it to the ground so they can rule from the ashes.

Same goes for the "non-partisan" election auditors they wheel out to approve their actions.

Let's pull the curtain back on these so-called auditors. 2/ The recent audit in Georgia turned to VotingWorks.

Founders Matt Pasternack and Ben Adida both donate to Democrats. 

And board member John Lilly is a real gem. From Twitter:

"Trump is sure to go down as most reviled and incompetent president of the last 150 years."

What if I told you that the people behind the Russian conspiracy theory are the same people behind the chaos on Election Day?

Because it's true. 2/ In 2016, lawyer Marc Elias and his firm Perkins Coie were working for Hilary Clinton when they paid for the Russian dossier  -  which then led to FBI spying and years of media hysteria.

Now guess who's behind the 22 lawsuits that have pushed states to expand mail-in voting?

1/ "He is rude and an obnoxious bully who does not respect anyone who disagrees with him. That’s why I’ve announced my support for Joe Biden."

This is Janine Geske, 1 of 3 Wisconsin judges picked by Gov. Tony Evers to help redraw the state's congressional districts. 2/ But don't worry, Gov. Evers says he chose both Dem and GOP judges. Ok, let's look at the other 2.

Paul Higginbotham. Hmm, heavy donor to Biden this year. so he's not the GOP judge either.

Smartmatic says they have never provided Dominion with tech.

But Dominion was trying to certify HAAT in 2011. HAAT was designed by Smartmatic.

I have the document.

https://twitter.com/smartmatic/status/1327676396928462857

1/3 Here’s Dominion getting HAAT tested in 2011.
eac.gov/sites/default/…

1/ Trump is turning up the heat on #Smartmatic, suggesting software they used during the election of Hugo Chavez is now linked to #DominionVotingSystems.

I've already highlighted some of these ties.

But now I want to present information that is more favorable to Smartmatic. 2/ In 2004, Smartmatic won a $128 million contract to manage a referendum on the recall of Chavez. Polls showed Chavez facing defeat and the opposition was confident of victory.

Smartmatic provided the ballot machines and ensured the votes were ready on the night of Aug 15.

1/ Trump's legal team is suggesting software from Smartmatic undermined the US election.

One question is how did they go from being a small and virtually unknown company in Venezuela to winning a $128 million election contract with Hugo Chavez's govt in 2004.

Leet's find out. 2/ One clue comes from the publication el Politico.

In 2017 they linked Smartmatic co-founder Alfredo José Anzola to the head of the country's election council, Jorge Rodriguez, who later became VP in Chavez's government.

It's also rumored Anzola was dating Rodriguez's sister.

1/ Maybe you heard @SidneyPowell1 has a whistleblower from Smartmatic.

They say the software used by Dominion in the US is descended from the same software that #Smartmatic used to handle elections for Hugo Chavez in Venezuela. 2/ #DominionVotingSystems denies links to Smartmatic and insists their software is secure.

So who's right?

Well, on Smartmatic's website they refer to two of their patented inventions: Edge2Plus and HAAT.

1/ So I'm kicking back watching a YouTube video of Dominion at Congressional hearings earlier this year, and I noticed something.

Just behind CEO Poulos, doesn't that look like Eric Coomer? 2/ Now I'm sitting there wondering, does Poulos know that he's brought with him into Congress a guy who loves Antifa. Someone who said **ck the USA and worse.

And who also said this: "Don’t worry about the election, Trump’s not gonna win. I made f*cking sure of that!”

1/ So you might have heard the Pennsylvania Supreme Court just ruled against Trump's lawsuit. All 5 Democrat justices said observers had a right to be in the room, not the right to actually observe. The 2 Republican justices dissented.

Are you ready to go down a rabbit hole? 2/ Three of the Democrat justices were elected in 2015 in a campaign that set a national spending record in a Supreme Court race.

The three justices  - Kevin Dougherty, David Wecht and Christine Donahue  - raised $3.98 million, $2.88 million and $1.95 million respectively.

1/ Quick comment about this statement from Dominion:

"Dominion has no company ownership relationships with any member of the Pelosi family, the Feinstein family, or the Clinton Global Initiative, Smartmatic, Scytl, or any ties to Venezuela."
dominionvoting.com 2/ It's a lawyer's answer. Because we now know they left out a very interesting connection to the Democrat Party.

In 2018, they were bought by Staple Street, where board member William Kennard is one of the Democrats' most powerful movers and shakers.

1/ Quick update to provide a map that helps visualize some of the relationships I've been discussing. The map in the link is clearer (as long as it remains up).

littlesis.org/oligrapher/582… 2/ You see Dominion is tied to Smartmatic via its purchase of Sequoia. One question being asked today is whether that purchase transferred Smartmatic's software to Dominion.

(You can see rabid Antifa supporter Eric Coomer there too. He went to Dominion from Smartmatic)

1/ Yesterday, we looked at Dominion's ties to Smartmatic, whose US branch is run by Peter Neffenger, a member of Biden's transition team.

Today we will see who owns Dominion now. 2/ In 2018, Dominion was acquired by its management together with Staple Street Capital, a NY private equity firm.

prnewswire.com/news-releases/…

1/ Since my tweets about Dominion and Smartmatic are probably getting too confusing now, here's a thread that brings it all together. 2/ Dominion Voting Systems oversees ballot counting in several hotly contested states where suspicious activity has been alleged.

There's another election software company called Smartmatic whose US chairman is Peter Neffenger, a member of Biden's transition team.

Can we connect Smartmatic, which is tied to Biden's transition team, and Dominion, which oversees US ballot counting.

I found Michael Frontera, General Counsel at Dominion. He used to work at Sequoia when it was owned by Smartmatic.

zoominfo.com/p/mike-fronter… There's also Jack Blaine, who was an executive at Smartmatic and a CEO of Sequoia. Now here's a link showing that a Jack Blaine later was President of Dominion Voting Systems in Oakland, CA.
