Was the SolarWinds Orion hack a signal to collect their Dominion Voting Systems data?

A hack. A raid. A series of curious events that all seem to tie back to one company: Dominion Voting Systems. The company at the heart of voter fraud allegations across the country and particularly in contested states may have been exposed despite all of their best efforts. How? Through SolarWinds Orion. Why? Because the Russians, God, or both are helping us out.

That’s the premise. Here are the facts. SolarWinds Orion is the company whose security software was hacked this weekend, allegedly by Russians. Major but conspicuously mundane companies and government agencies were among those affected. They were raided today by the FBI, US Marshals, and Texas Rangers. This event likely yielded a seizing of servers.

Dominion Voting Systems is likely somewhere on those servers. We can’t know for sure until we hear from the authorities, but it’s conspicuous that they lied about connections to SolarWinds Orion, claiming they had no connections. We know it’s a lie because if you visit their FTP website, it’s operated by Serv-U, a division of SolarWinds.

Dominion Voting Systems uses SolarWinds products and it is still not powered down.

So, we have Russia apparently hacking for no other reason than to point attention to SolarWinds Orion. On the servers that were confiscated as a result of the hack is information potentially sent to and from Dominion Voting Systems, information that was almost certainly wiped from their own servers before investigators could get their hands on them. It all seems conspicuously like deus ex machina.

In the latest episode of NOQ Report, I noted how it reminds me of the Timothy McVeigh situation. The Oklahoma City Bombing may still be unsolved today if it weren’t for a random highway patrolman pulling over McVeigh for a busted tail light. If Russia (or God) is alerting us about where to find the smoking gun, this may all work out nicely.

As conspiracy theories go, this one is pretty mild on the “theory” and heavy on facts. Put them all together and we may have the miracle smoking gun emerging before our eyes that reelects President Trump.

SolarWinds and Dominion

A March 24, 2020 hack initially corrupted a Solarwinds file (SolarWinds.Orion.Core.BusinessLayer.dll), after which, that corrupted Solarwinds file had/has been installed on various Windows OS based machines as a part of routine patching / updating.

The hacked file hatches, you might say, active 'Supported' hack commands that find certain files and deletes those certain files.

The hack tries to hide its tracks, and then force a reboot of the Windows OS based machine.

It is a cover-up.

The cause and effect do seem a bit displaced.

The Solar Winds software issues appear they only came up this week because of the discovery of the problematic relationship between Solar Winds and Dominion, because of how that relationship tied into the conduct of the election fraud in Antrim County, Michigan.

It was the audit of Dominion voting machines that exposed the relationship and the problems associated with the software...

Fascinating to note the dual connections, there: First, the effort of the Michigan Secretary of State to delete the data from the Dominion machines, eliminating the statistics on how ballot adjudication worked in Michigan, this election. Then, the effort of the Michigan Secretary of State to prevent the information about the Antrim County audit of the Dominion voting machines being made public.

But, the judge made the information public anyway ?

In response, we see this raid being conducted on their HQ in Texas... but, not before the Treasury and Commerce got hacked ? News today (WaPo) saying that’s a “months long” issue, that only got exposed, suddenly, after the Antrim County report was issued ?

No one seems interested in denying Solar Winds let Russian hacking group Cozy Bear... pretty much do what they wanted. We’re clearly not being told everything about the implications of the breach, yet... including how many agencies other than Treasury and Commerce were effected.

In context of the election... no longer possible to claim there were no issues with the vote... cannot deny that the Dominion machines created MASSIVE errors... that they enabled switching votes... that voters WERE switched... and that the machines were online... and were easily hackable.

The key issue, now, it seems... in context of the election... is only whether the Solar Wind servers will provide a source of backup data exposing “some of” the data that the Michigan Secretary of State seemed rather desperate to have deleted.

Oddly, that the timing of the exposure re Solar Winds is directly tied to the connection in the probe of Dominion machines in Antrim County... seems a point no one in the MSM want to make ?

Otherwise, I don’t attach much credibility to the claim that it “was Russian hackers”.

By all accounts, the trail of bread crumbs that were left behind was inordinately sloppy... very clearly intending it to be made plain that “it was the Russians”.

If it was Russian hackers, rather than someone being overly obvious while posing as Russian hackers... they WANTED to be exposed as behind the hack.

More likely that the hackers simply created a Russian fingerprint to leave behind to deflect blame onto the Russians.
