Per the NYT article:

“A Truth Social account shared the conspiracy theory about Konnech that Gregg Phillips, left on the stage, and Catherine Engelbrecht presented at an event in Arizona in August. Credit...Truth Social

The pair said they had notified the Federal Bureau of Investigation of their findings. According to their story, the agents briefly investigated their claim before turning on the group and questioning whether it had hacked the data.:”

This could blow up really BIG.

Per the NYT article:

“Konnech once owned Jinhua Yulian Network Technology, a subsidiary out of China, where programmers developed and tested software. But the company said its employees there had always used “generic ‘dummy’ data created specifically for testing purposes.” Konnech closed the subsidiary in 2021 and no longer has employees in China.”

Per posting on Truth Social website

“Jinhua Yulian Network Technology is Eugene Yu’s Chinese election company registered under his Chinese name Jianwei Yu.

On his company’s now-deleted website — he praised the CCP and bragged about running “Detroit Election Management Systems” and “US Military & Overseas Voters”.

He registered his Chinese company’s website to his Michigan election company’s email address “eyu@konnech.com” where he provides voting technology to Australia, Canada, and the United States.”

Here is a link to a new article where Konnich sued a person for defamation in Australia.

Per NPR Article:

“At an event in August dubbed “The Pit,” Engelbrecht and Phillips unveiled what they called the “Tiger Project,” which focused on Konnech. In interviews with far-right podcasters, Phillips has spun a cloak-and-dagger story that he compared to a James Bond movie, in which he helped uncover a supposed Chinese plot to infiltrate American elections.

In Phillips’ telling, he first heard about the company from “my guys” — unnamed “colleagues and friends” who invited him to their room in the Hilton Anatole hotel in Dallas one late night in January 2021.

“I get there and they’re putting towels, rolled up towels, under the doors and you know, and all my guys are armed,” Phillips said on the podcast “1819 News.”

Phillips said his colleagues showed him personal information for 1.8 million American poll workers, including “name, address, date of birth, Social Security number, banking information,” which supposedly was held on a server in China.

Konnech maintains that this claim is entirely false, and that all of its data on American customers is stored solely in the U.S.

After seeing this presentation, Phillips claims that he and Engelbrecht brought Konnech’s data to the FBI, which he claims then worked with them for more than a year on a supposed “counterintelligence” operation looking into Konnech. At one point, Phillips said he had a “secret squirrels” meeting with the FBI in Milwaukee to share information. Eventually, however, the FBI “completely betrayed us,” Phillips said, and told True the Vote that they were themselves under scrutiny from law enforcement.”

There needs to be an investigation into Judge Kenneth Hoyt in Houston Texas who issued the order against True the Vote an behalf of Konnich.

Follow the money.

Why did China run their corruption out of the Houston Chinese Consulate? The one that Trump closed. They were running data mining operations using Tic Toc to promote Antifa and BLM riots with 30 CCP Spies.

http://chinascope.org/archives/24225

“The Second Department of China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA), which is the PLA’s intelligence unit, sent staff members from a large network company, with fake IDs, to China’s Consulate in Houston. Those technicians used a large video platform’s backend data to identify people who might participate in the Black Lives Matter (BLM) and ANTIFA’s protests and then created and sent them customized videos on how to organize riots and how to do promotions.

The purpose was to “weaponize” big data technology. It delivered relevant materials precisely to those people who were most likely to participate in the protests, while other people could not even find those videos.

RFA did not spell out the company names. A Twitter account said the technicians were from Huawei and the video platform they used to identify candidates and push videos to was TikTok.”

Per the Konnech Australia website:

https://www.konnech.com.au/About.html

With a mutual respect for democracy and ensuring safe and secure elections, Konnech Australia was established in January 2018 by Eugene Yu and Greg Denton.

A 100% fully owned subsidiary of Konnech Inc, Konnech Australia brings international experience in election logistic and management systems, having worked with electoral authorities serving over 25 million voters across Australia, Canada and the United States of America.

In 2018, Konnech Australia won a competitive tender to design, develop, and deliver a new Election Logistics System for the Electoral Commission of Queensland (ECQ).

Designed to support a number of ECQ electoral activities including electoral administration, planning and preparation for an election, managing an election and reporting on, analysing and evaluating an electoral event, Konnech Australia provides support for more than 300 ECQ processes or functionalities, incorporating them into a single, integrated election management software-based system.

Konnech Australia’s Brisbane-based team of programmers, data analysts and coders are working closely with the Electoral Commission of Queensland.

This is a blog of a Patriot Investigator

Konnech & the CCP
16 Tuesday Aug 2022

The Colonel’s Corner is already digging. So are many others…

Affiliated websites listed:

http://www.Konnech.com

http://www.pollchief.com

http://www.ABVote.com
(sold to Ohio based Votem Corp 2016)

“PollChief is used by Alameda County CA, Travis Co Tx, Ninneapolis MN, Ciity of Regina Canada and 18 large counties across US. Used by thousands of elections offices across North America. 100% cloud based. “

“Another discovery: There are regional meetings in prep for an international meeting. The regional meetings include Africa Regional Forum, Europe, America, Asia and Arab States. These meetings (over the summer) lead into the World Summit on Electoral Democracy in Sept 2022. The speakers at these meetings are The Who’s who of gender study graduates, Open Society members, etc all getting together to discuss ‘election integrity’ and ‘democracy’. See http://www.ine.mx

Konnech recently (March 2022) lost a contract after winning the initial bid in Tarrant County because…

“During contract negotiations with Konnech, Inc., inconsistencies were discovered… …There was also a discrepancy in their RFP response regarding where the solution would be hosted. Konnech, Inc. stated they would be utilizing the Microsoft Azure cloud solution in their RFP response, but after discussing their architecture further with them, we discovered the solution will be hosted from their datacenter/co-location facility rather than the Microsoft Azure cloud. Elections Administration, Information Technology, and Purchasing agreed that an award recommendation to Konnech, Inc. would not be in the best interest of the County, so negotiations with Konnech, Inc. were terminated.”

Great website. Lots of really good well documented information.

Investigation Into U.S. Election Software Company Uncovers Chinese Coders
on AUGUST 25, 2022

A deep dive into a Michigan election company’s patents, employees, domain registrations, and internet archives reveals an alarming Chinese connection.

https://knightspirit.com/home/bridging-the-gap-between-what-was-and-what-will-be/investigation-into-u-s-election-software-company-uncovers-chinese-coders/

“Although, the American technology company, which was founded in 2002, is used by the U.S. Department of Defense and ‘thousands of election offices across North America’, Konnech Inc., previously built a ‘communication platform’ called ChineseBrief.com for the Confucius Institute.

Furthermore, many of the company’s software engineers and employees graduatedfrom Chinese universities such as Zhejiang University, Nanjing University, University of Science and Technology of China, Beijing Language and Culture University, China Agricultural University, and HuaZhong University of Science and Technology.”

“Moreover, in Queensland, Australia’s 2020 elections, “count reporting problems on election night” were partly the result of “a new computer system not being tested as planned because ‘coding resources’ were locked down in Wuhan”, according to the digital news company.”

Everything leads back to Soros.

This is much bigger than Soros. The true evil USES the hatred Soros has (and all the left) so they are the willing stooges led around by the golden ring in their noses.

Oh how they cherish that golden ring and hate you if you don't have a golden ring in your nose too.

If we can convince the Dem’s that the CCP is using them and split their party with infighting.

Gateway Pundit says the following has done the most research on Konnech. there’s a lot about Queensland Australia. too much funny business in the Australian Federal election in May this year to go into here:

16 Aug: Substack: U.S. Election Software Company Previously Built Confucius Institute ‘Communication Platform’
Konnech Inc., creator of the ‘PollChief’ software used by ‘thousands of Election Offices across North America’ built ChineseBrief.com for the Confucius Institute.
by KanekoaTheGreat
The Queensland digital news company stated, “count reporting problems on election night” were partly the result of “a new computer system not being tested as planned because “coding resources” were locked down in Wuhan”.

Queensland Chief Digital Officer Chris Fechner said: “The delivery of the project was further impacted in the final development and bug fixing stages during January and February 2020, as most of the coding resources were based in Wuhan China and were negatively impacted by the COVID-19 lock-down”.

On July 15, 2020 according to records of the proceedings in Queensland Parliament, MP Fiona Simpson asked the Queensland Premier why, “foreign owned company Konnech was given an important contract to produce the software to administer Queensland’s elections using China based coders over every Queensland coding firm?”

At least least three other Members of Parliament — Mr. Lister, Mr. Crandon, and Dr. Robinson — asked similar questions about Konnech, according to Queensland Parliament records (LINK)...READ ON
