SYMBOLISM & SMARTMATIC???

Anons…found some REALLY weird shit! Reading through the Smartmatic blogs, they kept mentioning a "dragon". I dug and found this:

The Smartmatic Dragon's story: Acknowledging excellence and professionalism

[Exerpt]

"From my own perspective, as the “spiritual white-haired mystic” of the team, I tried to understand the psychology of my engineer teammates at the time; I thought that by understanding Roger, Antonio, Alfredo and the rest of the team, we could find a way to give some recognition to these outstanding efforts and the giant steps we took.

One day I saw a very excited Roger playing “Magic”, a viral Internet RPG. I decided to understand what was going on, who the game characters were, the logic behind it; I wanted to know how these wizards and dragons affected the outcomes of the game. Roger, as an expert Magic player, explained to me the differences between wizards, dragons, colours, special powers, the general rules of the game, etc.; we understood that what Smartmatic pulled off in 2004 somehow resembled the wonders and spells taking place in Magic. To this day I’m convinced that viral technology and these complicated real-time Internet-based games help young minds to move in a world of multiple dimensions, simultaneous realities and huge challenges, where they have to stay alive, conquer their foes, be competitive and differentiate themselves from others as much as they can to find success.

So, we wanted to celebrate the heroes of the hour and we decided that the best way to do it was by creating a symbol: Smartmatic’s Dragon. This dragon needed to have certain physical characteristics and colours that showed its tenacity. It had to be a representation of the technical and operational excellence that engineers and specialists had shown; all our managers, coordinators and analysts who were immersed in great challenges and pressure, but who created the excellence that defines Smartmatic, excellence which seems to have no bounds.

Dragons possess a natural force that cannot be ignored. By definition, they are mythological beings, powerful and transformative, which go beyond human nature. They are avatars.

Dragons are also associated with yoga, since they represent the stream of universal energy that flows through the spine of all humans, called kundalini. Being visited by a dragon in dreams, or being drawn towards a fire-breathing one can signify the beginning of a spiritual and mystical awakening.

We at Smartmatic have experienced great changes, we have accepted incredible challenges, we have conquered new borders and countries; we have reached an international and global presence, with offices and operations that grant us a worldwide reach, and the opportunity to strengthen electoral and democratic processes in many countries.

We’ve come a long way from 2004 Venezuela. We’ve undertaken impressive challenges such as the Philippines in Asia, Zambia in Africa, Belgium in Europe, Bolivia, Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, USA, etc. in the Americas. We’ve expanded our operations with centres of technical and operational excellence in Panama and Taiwan, headquarters for the top management and the internationalization and globalization strategists in London and Amsterdam. We keep growing, conquering and winning new bids. All of this because what make this corporation different are its people: its professionals and technicians, its , and the clients in the electoral world that gave given us great support and credibility as we continue to conquer it."

Chavista Company Smartmatic Responsible for Vote Counting in United States

The digital democracy business scored in the recent election the most populated county election contract: Los Angeles.

Smartmatic also marketed the integration, engineering, and manufacturing of the new voting system (EFE).

Spanish – How is this possible? It seems unusual. The company Smartmatic, which for a decade counted the votes of the electoral processes in Venezuela under the Socialist regime, now operates in the U.S. elections.

Yes, its digital democracy business scored a contract in the most populated county in recent elections: Los Angeles.

In this jurisdiction with 5.2 million registered voters and 5,000 polling places, Smartmatic claims to have installed 31,100 voting machines, representing the largest electoral acquisition in North America.

And there’s more. The company also marketed the integration, engineering, and manufacturing of the new voting system.

The decision was made by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors to develop its “Voting for All Solution” (VSAP).

However, this company, which boasts on its website that it is an approved supplier to the United States Department of Defense and a founding member of the Electoral Infrastructure Subsector of the Department of Homeland Security, is made up of Chavista tentacles.

Very Red Roots

Antonio Mugica is the Venezuelan engineer at the head of Smartmatic. Along with Róger Piñate, he founded the company that was registered in Boca Raton, Florida, at the same address as a cooperative of Petroleos de Venezuela called Petrolusa.

They organized 15 elections during the mandate of Hugo Chávez and Nicolás Maduro. The following video reveals important details about this company:

An article in The New York Times reviewed by the BBC highlights a $200,000 loan to the company by the regime as a guarantee for 28% of the shares.

The loan was disbursed seven months before the contract for the 2004 recall referendum was obtained and then justified as an aid to small businesses.

However, according to NYT, Smartmatic won 120 million USD, with the first three elections organized.

“(Smartmatic) went from being a small technology startup to a major player in the market,” reads a U.S. embassy cable leaked by WikiLeaks and reviewed by the BBC.

It also states that although the company claims to be of American origin, “its true owners remain hidden behind a web of holding companies in the Netherlands and Barbados.”

Responsible for the presidential count

Dominion is the name of the company involved in the recent U.S. elections.

Its name is associated with irregularities due to the failure of its electronic systems, whose technology was purchased from Smartmatic through its subsidiary Sequoia, revealed American Thinker.

Dominion denies its link, although, at one point, it allowed Smartmatic to market its same technology abroad in places where Dominion did not do business.

The Washington Examiner notes that “The voting systems provider has contracts in all of the key swing states in which Trump’s campaign team is mounting legal challenges, and Republicans in two of those Southwestern states, Arizona and Nevada, also have their eye on the system.”

Susan Greenhalgh, a Free Speech for People election security expert, cited by the BBC, believes that with the digitalization of the vote, there is potential for elections to be undetectably hacked.

New York University professor Beatrice Atobatele stresses that “if voters do not trust that their votes will be counted, they will no longer participate in the electoral process.”

Business expands

Since 2006, Smartmatic has marketed its services in the United States. By 2015, it boasted of maintaining and configuring 58,000 counting and voting machines that had been sold to 307 jurisdictions.

The machines include about 10,000 optical scanners for digital capture of physical ballots and about 47,000 voting machines.

The states that use this platform include Arizona, Colorado, District of Columbia, Florida, Illinois, Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, Nevada, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin.

It handles this market with exclusivity, designing, and manufacturing Edge2Plus- the 17-inch touch screen allows for the capture of voter intent.
