China Bought Dominion Fact Checked — This story hit a nerve. It’s getting “fact checked” by self-proclaimed gatekeepers at Facebook and elsewhere.
Things have evolved and some of the criticism is legitimate. For instance, it is correct to point out that the securities sold by Staple Street Capital went to UBS Securities Co., LLC.
This is UBS’ New York affiliate, not the UBS Securities Co., Ltd. that is openly affiliated with the Chinese communists, and which we incorrectly cited as the purchaser.
On the other hand, some of this evolution is in a far more frightening direction. It turns out that three of the board members of UBS Securities Co. LLC are Chinese according to NTD.com.
We think that’s worse. The enemy you see is less dangerous than the one you don’t.
The “fact checker” says the UBS Securities didn’t buy Dominion Voting Machines but appears merely to have used the $400 million to acquire a partnership in Staple Street Co., Dominion’s owner. This was a month before the election.
How exactly is that better?
We are not offended by the fact checking. We are offended/angered/frightened, however, that these well-financed media “authorities” are more concerned about this story than the influence the Chinese government has obtained over one of our major voting machine suppliers.
It’s not a theory when you have the documentation. Just saying that for my conspiracy theory fans.
Staple Street Capital III, L.P. sold $400 million in securities to UBS Securities Co., Ltd. as reveled 12:15 today, Dec. 1, by attorney Lin Wood in a cryptic tweet to a link to the sale’s SEC Form D.
The SEC Form D was filed Oct. 8.
Form D is the required notice for companies that have sold securities without registration under the Securities Act of 1933 under certain conditions.
The filing must be within 15 days of the sale.
Staple Street Capital is the New York-based, private equity firm that acquired Dominion Voting Systems in July 2018.
Dominion voting machines were used in 28 states, Nov. 3.
Many think they could be programmed to flip votes from one candidate to another or delete votes for an undesired candidate.
