"No foreign government or entity, including Venezuela, has ever held any stake in Smartmatic,' Mr. Stoller said. 'Smartmatic has always been a privately held company, and despite that, we've been fully transparent about the ownership of the corporation.' Mr. Stoller emphasized that Bizta was a separate company and said the shares the Venezuelan government received in it were 'the guarantee for a loan.""

SMARTMATIC OWNED SEQUOIA BETWEEN 2005 AND 2007 In 2005, Smartmatic Bought Sequoia Voting Systems In 2005, Smartmatic Bought Sequoia Voting Systems With A Windfall of $120 Million From Its Contracts With Venezuela. "With a windfall of some $120 million from its first three contracts with Venezuela, Smartmatic then bought the much larger and more established Sequoia Voting Systems, which now has voting equipment installed in 17 states and the District of Columbia."

"But after a municipal primary election in Chicago in March, Sequoia voting machines were blamed for a series of delays and irregularities. Smartmatic's new president, Jack A. Blaine, acknowledged in a public hearing that Smartmatic workers had been flown up from Venezuela to help with the vote. Some problems with the election were later blamed on a software component, which transmits the voting results to a central computer, that was developed in Venezuela."

"On December 22, 2006, Smartmatic Corporation announced the company's intention to sell Sequoia Voting Systems. At that time, Smartmatic CEO Antonio Mugica stated, 'Sequoia's customer base has grown substantially and its revenues have increased four-fold. However, given the current climate of the United States marketplace with so much public debate over foreign ownership of firms in an area that is viewed as critical U.S. infrastructure - election technology - we feel it is in both companies' best interests to move forward as separate entities with separate ownership. As part of this process, we plan to sell our Sequoia Voting Systems ownership.' Sequoia Voting Systems worked for many months with Smartmatic to find an appropriate situation that would be a win-win for both companies. Given Sequoia's strong position in the US electoral market and significant opportunities therein, many buyers expressed interest in Sequoia. Smartmatic selected this team to purchase Sequoia as they believe in the ability of Sequoia's current management team to perform as successfully as they have in the past, which will allow Smartmatic to capitalize on the earn-out purchase plan."

"The investment group, led by Sequoia President & CEO Jack Blaine and company Chief Financial Officer Peter McManemy, purchased Sequoia from former parent company Smartmatic Corporation for an undisclosed sum. As with most transactions involving two private entities, the specific terms of the sale are not being disclosed. However, this transaction does include investment by the management team, a small loan and an earn-out.

Eric Coomer June 2 In case you didn't know: "Antifa" has made a statement: TO: ALL MEDIA PUBLIC STATEMENT FROM "ANTIFA IN RESPONSE TO THE THREATS ISSUED BY UNITED STATES PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP Dear Mr. Trump: Let us be perfectly clear: "Antifa" isn't an organization. There's no membership, no meetings, no dues, no rules, no leaders, no structure. It is, literally, an idea and nothing more. Even the claim of this author to represent Antifa" is. one made unilaterally for the purposes of this communication and nothing more: there is no governing body nor trademark owner to dispute the author's right to represent "Antifa." "Antifa" is a neologism constructed from a contraction of the phrase "anti-fascist." The truth is, there's no such thing as being 'anti-Fascist.' Either you are a cecent human being with a conscience, or you are a fascist. The ostensible president of the United States has, today, openly declared that he is a fascist and that he intends to turn the military power of the United States into a fascist tool. Now there is no question, and we can stop pretending that this man: represents anything but the worst in humanity, which his supporters embody And that is the only effect his words will have, It will likely be no problem for LEO to identify the author of this document, who also has maintained the "Antifa" page on Facebook since founding it in 2017. The author of this document is unconcerned with that inevitability because neither that author, nor this document, has been involved in a crime of any sort in any way. But since both the president" and the media insist on acting as though "Antifa' is this big, scary organization, the author supposes it's time for "AntiFa" to make a statement.
