Good advice and we should be careful with this. I will say that the “ownership” of Dominion and investors appears to be extraordinarily murky. In fact, it appears intentional. Does it mean the ownership is nefarious? Not directly, but it does make it appear more likely.

There are also a lot of people saying that part of Dominion is owned by Soros entities and there are connections between the bigwigs and the Soros umbrella.

At the very least, this does appear to be something that our government should have been on top of doesn’t it? Amy Klobuchar and Elizabeth Warren thought so at one time. Ironic.

RE: If the money came from UBS Securities it would be no different than a payment done by Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, etc…

From the article, it says, the firm which owns Dominion Voting Systems received $400 million dollars from a Swiss bank with close links to the Chinese government less than a month before the election.

Does Goldman, JP Morgan or any other American Investment bank have any interest in owning Dominion Software?

Did UBS officials rip off Holocaust survivors? Perhaps.


https://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/18/arts/international/heirs-sue-bank-over-sale-of-nazi-looted-art-.html?module=Search&mabReward=relbias%253Ar%252C%257B%25221%2522%253A%2522RI%253A9%2522%257D
[When Christie’s auctioned off Edgar Degas’s “Danseuses” for nearly $11 million in 2009, the catalog noted that the masterpiece was being sold as part of a restitution agreement with the “heirs of Ludwig and Margret Kainer,” German Jews whose vast art collection was seized by the Nazis in the years leading up to World War II.

But now a dozen relatives of the Kainers are stepping forward to object. Not only did they fail to benefit from that sale, they say they were never even told about it, or any other auctions of works once owned by the couple, including pieces by Monet and Renoir.

It turns out that the Kainer “heir” that has for years collected proceeds from these sales and other restitutions, including war reparations from the German government, is not a family member but a foundation created by Swiss bank officials.

In lawsuits filed in New York and Switzerland, the Kainer relatives contend that officers of the bank — now part of the global banking giant UBS — never made a diligent effort to find them, and worse, used the family name to create a “sham” foundation ostensibly organized to support the health and education of Jewish youth but actually formed, they say, to cheat them out of their inheritance.

Both the foundation — named after Norbert Levy, Mrs. Kainer’s father — and UBS have said in court papers that they have done nothing wrong, but declined to comment. The lawsuits come as high-profile disputes over looted art focus attention on how courts and governments have handled assets stolen from Jews by the Nazis. Despite the scrutiny, this case shows just how difficult adjudicating such claims remains. The Kainer family lawsuits, for example, involve the legal systems of four countries and rest on the intentions and actions]


Plaintiffs tried suing UBS in NY state. NY State Appeals Court dismissed, encouraging plaintiffs to seek redress in Europe before refiling in NY, given that the plaintiffs don’t even reside in NY.

Let me follow up my question with another one t understand your point... all you’re saying is this:

All this document is saying is that UBS was compensated for selling shares in Staple Street Capital. It doesn’t say that UBS bought those shares.

In other words, you could have substituted UBS with Goldman Sachs or JP Morgan and it will then look benign since all they’re doing is act as BROKERS for the sale.

In other words — there is still some ways to go to prove that China has a CONTROLLING interest in Dominion.

Am I right in my understanding of what you’re trying to say?

[From the article, it says, the firm which owns Dominion Voting Systems received $400 million dollars from a Swiss bank with close links to the Chinese government less than a month before the election.]


The definition of close links appears to be any company with a joint venture in China (required for just about every foreign investor until recently). That would make GM, Chrysler and Ford companies with close links to the Chinese government. I think it’s a slender reed.

The real issue is fraudulent ballots in black-run cities that the GOP has always been hesitant to crack down on, because of its paralyzing fear of being accused of black voter suppression. That fear is something that Democrats use to their advantage, in the same way that drug dealers try to use under-18’s to do much of their dirty work, because juveniles get much lighter sentences.

UBS is the parent company of Dominion.

DNI Director John Ratliff has to submit a report per this directive within 45 days of the election. Sidney Powell’s filing in Ga. dovetails with this.
Nov. 3, to Dec 14 is 40 days.

On September 12, 2018, by Executive Order 13848, I declared a national emergency pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) to deal with the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States constituted by the threat of foreign interference in or undermining public confidence in United States elections.

You are comparing motor companies with a voting system that determines our leaders??????? If the CCP owns even 1% of dominion (allegedly its 70%) then anything with this election is fraud. Now do you know why they won’t let us review their proprietary software????

This is beyond huge. I’m expecting a hot war if it is determined that thay influenced it.

Here is what I gathered from this article and my own (brief) research

Staple Street is a private investment fund. Its website contains almost zero information, which is a bit strange, as most private equity firms like to tout their investments
https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/0849531D:US

Staple Street capital and the management of Dominion together bought out the company in 2018.
https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/dominion-voting-systems-acquired-by-its-management-team-and-staple-street-capital-300681752.html

A bit more digging shows that the directors of Staple Street are all well-connected DC insiders. That in itself is not so damning, as that’s common for many crony-capitalists operating in America these days - particularly anything connected to government operations. They seem to be typically statist/insider Democrats.

Staple Street Filed an SEC Form D for exempt offerings. Basically a standard form needed whenever raising money / selling securities to private investors. Seems they are starting another investment for $400 million
https://docoh.com/filing/1827586/0001827586-20-000001/D

UBS Securities in NY was the recipient of these investments funds from the new shareholders. It doesn’t mean anything - except that like any bank, they were the broker or registering agent for the sale of these Securities, so investor payments went to UBS New York.

Yes - UBS has a 25% stake in a banking JV in China - but that entity was not (as far as I can tell) connected to this transaction or State Street Capital. Most large investment banks all have JV’s in China (the Chinese government basically requires that foreign banks have local partners)

I can’t really understand what Lin Wood is alleging here. I don’t see it.

Tom Clancy could not have made this stuff up. I’m convinced that SPECTRE is a real organization and the CCP is just their China division.

Thanks. There is so much information flying around right now that it is hard to keep it straight and know what is credible and what is alleged.

I will withhold getting too upset about this one until more information emerges, but the “ownership” of Dominion seems to be intentionally murky and that does raise suspicions as do the deals they made with politicos in various states.
