Shocking History of Dominion Voting – How Obama rigged the creation of Dominion Voting Co.
Since 2009, Dominion Voting Systems operated from 215 Spadina Ave., Toronto, ON, M5T 2C7,Canada – an office space of the radical Tides Foundation. This building houses (or housed until a few months ago) a Toronto office of Tides Canada and a Tides’ incubation space for leftist groups. Dominion Voting Systems Corp. is the Canadian company behind the ballot switching software. Dominion was founded in 2003, with a mission to provide electronic voting systems friendly for progressives. Because of such partisanship, it languished with almost no customers for the next 5-6 years, until the Obama administration came to power. In 2010, the Obama administration confiscated electronic voting systems assets (software, intellectual property, manufacturing tools, customer base, etc.) from two established American companies, and gave them to Dominion.
At the same time, Dominion got some employees and assets from a foreign EVS company, tied to Hugo Chavez. Its software has been used by some 40% of the voters in this elections, mostly by Democrat-controlled states and election commissions. Apparently, no protections were put in place against ballot switching, deletion, or creation. According to Dominion’s own website, its software was used in “battleground” states and the largest Democrat states, including MI, GA, AZ, NV, NM, CO, AK, UT, NJ, CA, NY.
Dominion Early History
Dominion Voting System Corp., was founded in Canada in 2002-2003 with an openly progressive mission – to develop electronic voting software which would not just process ballots, but also “mobilize voters” – a popular slogan of the Left. It is not clear what products or services the company has developed. It found almost no buyers, until Obama was elected in 2008. In 2009, New York ordered a few dozens of systems from it. In 2010, Obama’s DOJ (Holder – Mueller) took the EVS unit, purchased from Diebold, away from the market leader ES&S, and gave it to Dominion. This gift included the installed base of about 30% of the US electronic voting systems (EVS) market. Within two weeks, Dominion also acquired Sequoia, which was formally spun from Smartmatic, but ties between these two companies remained. Smartmatic is a UK based EVS vendor, whose software was used by Chavez to “win” the Venezuelan referendum in 2004. Smartmatic’s unit Sequoia faced troubles in the US. Those troubles quickly ended when its assets were purchased by Dominion. Thus, the new Democratic party created a pocket pet corporation, gave it the lion share of the US electronic voting systems market. Dominion is ideologically aligned with the Democratic Party, owes it everything it has, dependent on it for most of its business, and needs it in power to avoid prosecution for corruption. Sounds like a conflict of interest.
Electronic Voting
Using electronic voting machines has always been controversial. The pros for electronic voting – saving working time of the ballot counters – are minuscule. The cons however are infinite. Because software is inherently complex, non-transparent, and volatile, there is always a risk of significant errors. There are also suspicions and doubts about election results. The complexity of software and hardware on which voting machines run has been continually increasing, aggravating these concerns. At the beginning of 2009, there were four major US EVS suppliers: ES&S, Premier (a unit of Nixdorf-Diebold), Sequoia (linked to Smartmatic), and Hart Intercivic. The market size was a few hundred million dollars a year and growing. EVS vendors competed among themselves and against traditional pen and paper voting. There were no barriers to entry for other competitors, other than government’s regulations. Electronic voting, which sounded like a good idea in the 1980s is so no more. Electronic voting machines and their vendors were under criticism for many years. In 2007-2008, this criticism materialized in the SEC, DOJ, and states lawsuits against the voting machines vendors. Diebold was catching flack for having a prominent Republican party supporter among their top executives. It spun its EVS unit as a separate company Premier, and was looking for a buyer. The existing vendors were burdened with liabilities, including DOJ investigations. This opened up an opportunity for the Obama administration.
Technical Vulnerabilities of EVS Systems
The voting software developers can easily insert code, changing numbers in favor of or against one candidate. No hacking is necessary. The malicious code can be designed to pass tests and to be triggered only at the time of a real election, automatically or manually. Both case are possible even if the machine is disconnected from the internet and has no ordinary I/O devices. The malicious code can be activated manually in real time by inserting a ballot or another paper with a pre-defined QR or image code. An audit of the source code is necessary, but not sufficient. Dominion software runs on Windows, and the malicious code can be hidden in any part of the operating system. Malicious code can be hidden in the firmware, too. If a state wants to take risks and to rely on testing and the source code audit, they should be conducted with the participation of technically competent representatives of both parties. If the system passes testing and auditing, the machine image must be securely stored. All supplied machines must have exactly the same hardware and the software as the audited system. As far as I know, thorough tests and source code audits are conducted very rarely, if at all. Further, the vendors are not required to use only the audited image, and are allowed to update the software almost at will. That means that election commissions are forced to blindly trust the vendors. Blind trust is always wrong and invites abuse. But even “trust but verify” is applicable only to trustworthy vendors. Dominion Voting is the opposite of trustworthy. The only real solution to the vulnerability of EVS is not to use them at all. Manual ballot counting has no software vulnerabilities, and is much cheaper. Virginia appears to be the only state that decided to use only manual ballots.
How Dominion went from nothing to everything in two weeks In September 2009, ES&S acquired Premier [8], without any objections from the DOJ. But in March 2010, the Obama’s DOJ (Eric Holder – Robert Mueller) forced ES&S to “sell” Premier’s assets to Dominion, but to keep its liabilities. In addition, ES&S was forced to license to Dominion some of its software, in perpetuity and free of charge. The pretext for the DOJ action was antitrust.
The “Sale”
This is how the assets transfer was structured, per DOJ [1] (March 8, 2010).
“WASHINGTON — The Department of Justice announced today that it will require Election Systems & Software (ES&S) to divest voting equipment systems assets it purchased in September 2009 from Premier Election Solutions Inc. in order to restore competition. The assets to be divested include the means to produce all versions of Premier’s hardware, software and firmware used to record, tabulate, transmit or report votes, including the Assure 1.2 system, and a license to better serve disabled voters. The department said that today’s settlement will restore competition in voting equipment systems in the United States… “
“In order to restore competition” sounds funny, because the same document also required ES&S to not compete against the buyer (with exceptions). “… the acquisition substantially reduced competition as it combined the two largest providers of systems used to tally votes in federal, state and local elections in the United States. ES&S’s acquisition of Premier made ES&S the provider of more than 70 percent of the voting equipment systems in the United States. The department said that because the cash value of the deal between ES&S and Premier was $5 million, far below the mandatory reporting threshold for mergers under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, the department’s investigation of the transaction did not begin until the companies had combined their assets and dismantled many of Premier’s operating divisions.” Sounds like a poor pretext.
The DOJ has been investigating these companies even before the merger, and was aware of it. Further, the DOJ does not allege that the merger has not been reported. Even so, why not simply demand unrolling the merger? The DOJ provides a poor excuse to demand divestiture rather than a normal unrolling. “Under the terms of the settlement, ES&S must divest all of the intellectual property associated with all versions –past, present and in development –of the Premier voting equipment systems to another company. ES&S also must divest all Premier tooling and fixed assets, as well as inventory of parts and components. In order to allow the divestiture buyer to better serve disabled voters, ES&S must also grant a fully paid-up, irrevocable, perpetual license to use the AutoMARK, ES&S’s ballot marking device for which Premier had a limited license prior to the acquisition. The buyer of the divestiture assets will have the right to modify and improve both Premier products and the AutoMARK.”
Thus, the Obama’s DOJ stripped ES&S not only acquired Premier assets, but also coerced it to license rights to its pre-merger product. “ES&S must sell the divestiture assets to a buyer approved by the department.” This is not selling. This is confiscation multiplied by corruption. “The settlement prohibits ES&S from bidding on new voting equipment system contracts using the Premier equipment. [transferred to Dominion]”
Wait, didn’t they say that the purpose was to increase the competition? “The department also required that ES&S grant the divestiture buyer an opportunity to compete to provide services to Premier customers currently under contract with ES&S, giving customers the option to switch to the divestiture buyer or to remain with ES&S … ES&S also must provide access to knowledgeable Premier employees and agree to offer a supply agreement to allow the divestiture buyer time to establish its own manufacturing of voting equipment systems.” The approved divestiture buyer, Dominion Voting, is not mentioned in this press release. But this quote shows that the DOJ has already determined the “approved buyer,” and knew that it had no manufacturing base.
After the “Sale” Dominion announced the acquisition of the Diebold products on May 19, 2010 [2] and the acquisition of Sequoia Voting assets on June 4, 2010 [3]. Dominion also hired much of its personnel, probably retaining ties to extremely sketchy Smartmatic. Sequoia/Smartmatic systems had been used in the Venezuela 2004 referendum, which Hugo Chavez “won”. Smartmatic is a British company with Hugo Chavez ties, headed by “Lord” Malloch-Brown (former UN Deputy Secretary-General, UNDP, UNHCR, VP of Soros’ Quantum Fund, and Vice Chair of Soros’ Open Society Foundation) [7], and linked to electoral scandals all over the world [5]. In August 2009 (corrected), the rough breakdown of the EVS market in the US was (per Brad Friedman):
40% ES&S,
30% Diebold/Premier, 20% Sequoia/Smartmatic,
10% Hart Intercivic
0% Dominion Voting.
Less than a year later, after the “antitrust” actions of Obama’s DOJ, it became:
50% Dominion
40% ES&S (restricted in competing against Dominion)
10% Hart Intercivic
Thus, the DOJ’s actions did the exact opposite of its words. An elections system vendor should be non-partisan, in a demonstrable way. Dominion is not just partisan, but hyper-partisan in favor of the Democrat party, or even its pocket vendor. Dominion has many more ties to the Democrat party and its prominent supporters in the US and abroad, which are not covered in this article. Software Development in Serbia Dominion develops much of its software in Belgrade, Serbia. Russia is a close friend to Serbia, if not its only one. If anybody sincerely thought that Putin wanted to hack American elections, their first location of interest would be the offices of Dominion Voting in Belgrade, rather than the Trump Tower in New York.
By the way, Serbian and Russian languages use the Cyrillic alphabet. Most letters have the same Unicode encoding in Serbian and Russian (the Basic Multilingual Plane, range 0410-04FF). If any election officials found Cyrillic text on a Dominion voting machine in 2016, it was probably left by its developers in Serbia. Remarks This is the Agreement between Michigan & Dominion, including specs of many Dominion products (PDF, 161 pages). Wi-Fi connection and even a dial up modem are offered as an option. Some of the companies referenced here as foreign-based or foreign-originating re-registered in the US.

Let’s see what “AI” spits out https://www.perplexity.ai/search/peter-bernegger-describes-hims-1xZkzHeOQUiPEHUWnzVw1w
The next POTUS election looks like being “tight”. So here we go again?
“Alice Dwyer” is the name of a post-war local star who bears the heavy historical legacy of being born in West Berlin to a New Zealand mother and a German father a year and a half before the fall of the Berlin Wall, and who consequently dishonored her father by giving up his surname Deekeling and adopting that of her mother. https://de.zxc.wiki/wiki/Alice_Dwyer
You could also say that Alice has internalized her anti-Germanism. “In 2011, she appeared at the theater in the production ‘Kristus – Monster of Münster’ by Mirko Borscht and played Hannah Silberstein, a German Jew living in New York who once fled Europe to escape the Nazis, in the Holocaust film drama “Die verlorene Zeit”.” Truly, a biography to be proud of.
But let’s hear her views expressed in a video called “Facts against prejudices: Refugees don’t want to work and don’t learn German – Alice Dwyer”, here one monstrous lie follows the next. For her brazen anti-German propaganda, she even uses a word that doesn’t even exist (“asylum country of origin”), which in itself contains a hair-raisingly illogical nonsense. So much impudence and stupidity can only come from a female brain:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohSBeXAZVAk
“A clear majority of refugees in Germany are in work or training. However, many refugees have lost their jobs during the corona crisis and are particularly hard hit by the economic consequences of the pandemic, as they often work in the catering industry or other sectors that are now closed. In July 2020, 420,000 people from countries of asylum found employment.
Almost 3,000 people with a refugee background enrolled at German universities for the 2018/2019 winter semester. In addition, 55,000 people from the eight most common countries of origin of asylum seekers are currently in training. In 2019, 195,000 people took part in a so-called ‘German test for immigrants’. 82 percent of participants achieved language level A2 or better.”
“In conversation with Hanni Lévy and Alice Dwyer”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDnGw8O5nvo
Video description: “It took a whole nine years for THE INVISIBLE – WE WANT TO LIVE to see the light of day in movie theaters. The result is an impressive piece of contemporary history that will resonate for a long time to come thanks to its successful interweaving of drama and documentary.
During the Hamburg Film Festival, I had the opportunity to talk to Hanni Lévy and Alice Dwyer, who plays her in the film. Among other things, we talked about how she went into hiding, why she didn’t think about escaping and what all the people who still don’t want to learn from history trigger in her.
About the film: Berlin, 1943: The Nazi regime has officially declared the Reich capital ‘Judenrein’ (clean of Jews). But some Jews actually manage to do the unthinkable. They become invisible to the authorities. Often it is pure luck and their youthful carefreeness that saves them from the dreaded Gestapo.
Only a few confidants know her true identity. There is Cioma Schönhaus, who secretly forges passports in an attempt to save the lives of dozens of other persecuted people. The young Hanni Lévy bleaches her hair blonde so that she can stroll along the Ku’damm unrecognized as an apparent Aryan. Eugen Friede distributes resistance leaflets at night. During the day, he hides in the uniform of the Hitler Youth and in the bosom of a German family. And then there is Ruth Gumpel, who, disguised as a war widow, serves black market delicacies to Nazi officers. They all fight for a life of freedom without really being free…”
P.S. Only one (purely hypothetical) question remains: is this poor mentally lost child more embarrassing for Germany – or more embarrassing for New Zealand? We all know the answer, because “Germany” (or what unjustly calls itself that to this day) hasn’t been embarrassed by anything for a long time.

Spielberg’s Floating Hypocrisy
In a world where dreams set sail,
Steven Spielberg spun a grand tale.
With lies as his wind, he crafted his art,
“Hollywood magic,” he claimed from the start.
His yacht, “Seven Seas,” a sight to behold,
Eighty-six meters of luxury bold.
With helipads and theaters for the elite,
A floating palace where riches compete.
But alas! The winds changed; he sold it away,
To a Canadian tycoon who wanted to play.
For one hundred fifty million, it found a new home,
Now “Man of Steel,” it continues to roam.
Yet Spielberg’s not done; he’s back in the game,
A new yacht on the horizon—bigger name!
Three hundred feet long, costing a fortune,
With tales yet to tell in his oceanic cartoon.
So here’s to Spielberg and his nautical spree,
With laughter and lies sailing wild and free!
In the ocean of dreams where stories are spun,
He’ll keep crafting legends until day is done.

If you ask me, I really don’t know why there’s still so much lack of knowledge about the alleged 6 gazillion gnues who disappeared in the HollyKlaus©™®℠. They were simply absorbed by the magnetosphere and etherically atomized, when massive irregularities, so-called protuberances, shook the world from 1941-45. Renowned field theory is undisputed! https://counter-currents.com/2024/10/of-pure-blood/

What happened to RedIce, they haven’t published anything for
12 days. Are they on vacation again? The profile photo in their
contact form hasn’t changed from Lana to Henrik for few days.
They are moving. I am sure they will be back up soon.
Now that you mention it, I remember. Not that it was
imminent, though. Henrik said something about their
new home being “close by”, and that Lana would be
back in her old leather chair in the new studio, and he
himself would be hanging his Viking shield on the wall.
I also remember that their current home was too noisy
because of some unbearable neighbor. In some vids,
you could even hear traffic noise or drills. But can’t re-
member why they moved away from their old home,
probably because of planned parenthood. Wkr & Thx
Gem from 2005: An artist of the postmodern era. His “works of art” include carving policemen out of wood who are giving each other anal sex. He says that anal sex is better than shooting people to death or letting homeless people freeze to death, which he holds against the police. “They’ve been trying to put me in the loony bin for two years. That’s the biggest compliment for an artist in this country!” https://media.gettr.com/group8/getter/2024/10/20/08/a1fb2d90-e93d-dcba-9715-fe5319ce4fef/out.mp4
