Election Fraud in the inimitable style of OJ Simpson's "If I did it"

A lot of folks are suddenly interested in the sanctity of American elections after the defeat of Donald Trump by Joe Biden in the 2020 Presidential Election. Folks who were previously content to talk about States Rights etc.any time calls were made for greater scrutiny at the national level are now calling for a Federal intervention in not only the Electoral College (which for some reason isn't such a good idea anymore) all the way to calling for military tribunals to make sure the vote goes the way they want.

Senator Ron Wyden said back in the summer of 2019 that McConnell and the Republican leadership were intentionally ignoring the dangers to our electoral system.

“The only logical conclusion is that Senator McConnell wants American elections to be vulnerable to hackers and foreign interference,” Wyden said. “It is unconscionable for Republicans to stick their heads in the sand and do nothing after what happened in 2016. If Congress doesn’t act, it’s only a matter of time before hackers successfully interfere again.”

He and a couple of other Senators had put forth a bill calling for "replacing paperless electronic voting machines with hand-marked paper ballots and optical scanners, subjecting voting equipment vendors to rigorous cybersecurity standards, and requiring vendors to report cybersecurity incidents."

McConnell would not allow the bill to come to the floor:

But all the bills have hit a roadblock. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has reportedly told his colleagues that he will not allow the Senate to vote on election security legislation this session.

“At this point I don’t see any likelihood that those bills would get to the floor if we mark them up,” Senator Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) said recently when asked by Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) whether the Rules Committee, which Blunt chairs, would mark up any election security bills. The Hill asked McConnell’s office about Blunt’s comments regarding election security and was referred to the majority leader’s verdict on the Mueller report: “case closed.”

Interesting huh? Who else was calling for election security in 2019? Was it ... duh duh duhnnnn Elizabeth Warren? Yes, the whiny School Marm of the Senate including a sweeping Elections reform plan in her platform while running for President:

“Our elections are less secure than your Amazon account,” Warren said in a tweet announcing the plan. “They’re under-resourced and undermined by partisan and racist officials who try to stop people from exercising their right to vote. We need to protect our democracy — and I’ve got a plan for that.”

Let that sink in. Well over a year and a half ago, Warren was sounding the alarms about how weak our systems were, as many had been since 2016 particularly among the Democrats ... and who stopped the effort to make elections more secure?

The Republicans. Mitch McConnell.

Now, I know that some heads are approaching critical mass, but stay with me for just a few more minutes.

Who is Mitch McConnell? A better question might be, who is he married to?

That would be Elaine Chao.

Born in Taipei, Taiwan, Chao immigrated to the United States when she was eight years old. Her father founded the Foremost Group, which eventually became a major shipping corporation. Chao was raised on Long Island, New York, and subsequently received degrees from Mount Holyoke College and Harvard Business School. She worked for a number of financial institutions before being appointed to several senior positions in the Department of Transportation under Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush, including Chair of the Federal Maritime Commission (1988–1989) and Deputy Secretary of Transportation (1989–1991). She then served as Director of the Peace Corps (1991–1992) and as president of the United Way of America (1992–1996).

While not in government, Chao has served on several boards of directors and worked for The Heritage Foundation and the Hudson Institute, two conservative think-tanks. Chao served as Secretary of Labor for the duration of George W. Bush's presidency and serves as Secretary of Transportation under President Donald Trump. Chao was the first Asian-American woman and the first Chinese American or Taiwanese American in U.S. history to be appointed to a President's Cabinet.[2] Chao married U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell in 1993.[3]

She's been married to McConnell for 27 years. Ten years after they were married, McConnell began his meteoric rise to power becoming the Senate Minority Whip in 2003, Minority Leader in 2006 and Majority Leader in 2015 ... and has been the longest serving Leader in history.

And I hate to be so shallow, but my god, Mrs. Chao is really attractive isn't she? And Mr. McConnell is just ... not.

Yet, they've been married for 27 years and just after their marriage, McConnell's political fortunes began to change.

Isn't it odd though ... Mrs. Chao never changed her name to McConnell? I mean, in the modern Republican party, women are supposed to be help-mates to their husbands, right? Why would she keep her family name like some granola-munching Democrat? Who is the Chao family?

Well, Elaine's father founded the Foremost Group.

The Foremost Group is a privately held, family-run shipping company based in New York City, with subsidiaries registered in the Marshall Islands. It operates globally, chartering vessels to companies in the dry bulk shipping industry, and its fleet includes some of the world's largest "capesize" bulk carriers,with a focus on environmentally friendly operations. Its clients include Bunge, Cargill, and Louis Dreyfus. It was founded in 1964 by Chinese-American immigrant James Si-Cheng Chao and his wife Ruth Mulan Chu Chao. Its chair and CEO since 2008 is Angela Chao, the sixth daughter of the company's founders.

Foremost has had most of its ships built by China State Shipbuilding, some of them financed by loans from the state-owned Export-Import Bank of China. In 2015 it began construction of the first freighter jointly financed by banks in both the People's Republic of China and Taiwan.[6] Its ships are registered under the flags of Liberia and Hong Kong. Iron ore is one of its principle cargoes. 72 percent of its freight is shipped to China, with its ships operating primarily in the region of Korea to Australia, but also world-wide.

Whaaa???? So am I telling you that a woman who has been deeply involved in Republican administrations from Reagan, both Bushes and now Trump is directly associated with a company based in this country that has deep ties with Chinese shipbuilding and the BANK OF CHINA???

And they've been shipping American iron ore to China almost exclusively for over 50 years???? And Chao was put in charge of the Cabinet level appointment that oversees overseas transportation???

I don't think we need to look any further.

But ummmm, aren't you forgetting that Taiwan's political objective is diametrically opposed to that of China??? So much so that China has been threating to invade Taiwan for decades to assume control of it? Oh, and the fact that Taiwan and the US are both allies against the People's Republic of China?? And, that the PRC refuses to have diplomatic relations with any foreign government who maintains relations with the ROC (Taiwan)?

Kind of big clarifications which you neglected to note, don't you think?

More breadcrumbs:

In 2017 she attended a contract-signing ceremony between Foremost and the Sumitomo Group of Japan, the latter of which was “subject to Transportation Department oversight for transit projects.” Several months after Chao was confirmed, her father told the China Press that he had traveled on Air Force One and talked “business” with Trump. At her confirmation hearing, she conveniently failed to mention her family’s considerable ties to the maritime industry, which of course comes under her department’s purview. Nor did she bring up awards she’d received in China, or a position as an international adviser to the city of Wuhan, despite the fact that the Senate questionnaire requires nominees to list all honorary positions, something her spouse surely could have told her.

In the heart of the Great Recession, Mitch McConnell suddenly got richer. According to his 2009 financial disclosure, while other senators’ fortunes were falling, McConnell’s jumped, thanks to a multimillion-dollar gift from his father-in-law, James Chao, to him and his wife, Elaine Chao, who now serves as President Trump’s Secretary of Transportation.

Federal financial disclosures list assets in wide ranges. The totals in McConnell’s disclosure jumped from a range of $3.1 million to $12.7 million in 2007 to $7.3 million to $33.1 million in 2008. The big reason for that increase: a $5 million-to-$25 million gift from the elder Chao in memory of Elaine’s mother, Ruth, who died at age 77 in 2007.

The Chao Connection just gets more and more clear.

a reply to: Flyingclaydisk

Chao connections are with CCP.

The Tiawanese origins are just smoke and mirrors. The family has been in New York since the 60s.

The 2016 First Extraordinary General Meeting of the Bank held on 18 November 2016 elected Ms. Angela Chao as Independent Non-executive Director of the Bank. China Banking Regulatory Commission has approved the qualification of Ms. Angela Chao.
Ms. Angela Chao has begun to serve as Independent Non-executive Director of the Bank, member of the Audit Committee, member of the Risk Policy Committee and member of the Connected Transactions Control Committee of the Board of Directors of the Bank, all with effect from 4 January 2017. The Board of Directors of the Bank welcomes the joining of Ms. Angela Chao

Angela Chao is the current CEO of Foremost. And of course on the Board of Directors of THE BANK OF CHINA!!!

“Our elections are less secure than your Amazon account,” Warren said in a tweet announcing the plan. “They’re under-resourced and undermined by partisan and racist officials who try to stop people from exercising their right to vote. We need to protect our democracy — and I’ve got a plan for that.”

Was Ms. Warren referring to the urban election officials that seem to generalize based on voter affinity for Trump/GOP?

This was the sentiment of the gal in Michigan who contracted for Dominion and went public with her story. She had lots of observations about the derogatory remarks made by the full-time Dominion employees regarding potential Trump voters filing in to the polling station (hmmm wonder how they picked out prospective Trump voters in the crowd?).

Or maybe this was in reference to the white GOP election observer kicked out the polling station in downtown Philadelphia that was captured on video.

Warren is a panderer of the highest order, and this was evident with her messaging during her failed campaign.

We have any recent (2020) voter disenfranchisement criticism from Ms. Warren to go on, say from the past 2 months or so? I won't be bothered to look, but I bet she's has changed her tune from what was said in 2019, or gone completely silent on the subject.

Is the Chao family connected to the Council on Foreign Relations????

Angela Chao has a keen interest in the sphere of international relations, with an emphasis on expanding ties between the US and China. Having grown up in a family of immigrants that valued their connection with the land of their birth, Angela speaks both English and Mandarin Chinese fluently. She is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and is on the Young Leaders Forum of the National Committee on US-China Relations.

I don't need to tell ATS about the significance of a connection to CFR .... this is almost too easy.

Warren was sounding the alarms in 2019 about threats to our election systems.

Why didn't anyone listen?

a reply to: Gryphon66

Is she continuing to "sound the alarm" on election security right now, in December 2020, or as said before, has the cat got her tongue?

What was Ms. Warren's stance on mail-in balloting? Was that considered racist too?

DIRECT CONNECTION BETWEEN CHAO FAMILY AND CCP!!!

According to a May 16, 2001 report in the South China Morning Post, James Chao went to school as a youngster in Shanghai, China with former Chinese President Jiang Zemin. James Chao then married Ruth Mulan Chu after both had moved from Shanghai to Taiwan sometime around the end of World War II. They had six children and in the late 1950’s and early 1960’s the entire family emigrated to the U.S.

Chao started the company in 1964 in New York [one office]. And in 1988 Chao ordered a couple of his ships to be built in China while Jiang Zemin was Mayor of Shanghai. In 1989, following the Tiananmen crackdown, Chao continued to meet with Zemin who became the Chinese President in 1993, after becoming the Chinese General Secretary in 1989. According the South China Morning Post, Chao’s ties deepened as he began chartering ships for two of China’s largest shippers, Cosco and Sinotrans.

Warren has apparently been silenced on more than one occasion by McConnell:

Republican Senators Vote to Formally Silence Elizabeth Warren

Sensing a stirring beside her a short while later, Ms. Warren stopped herself and scanned the chamber.

Across the room, Senator Mitch McConnell, the majority leader, had stepped forward with an objection, setting off an extraordinary confrontation in the Capitol and silencing a colleague, procedurally, in the throes of a contentious debate over President Trump’s cabinet nominee.

Why has McConnell been working to silence Warren FOR YEARS???

Shake off the MSM blinders!!!

a reply to: Gryphon66

Yep. McConnell sucks.

Nearly everybody on the site agrees.

If only there were some method we could use for voting, like some simple official record for all citizens in which we might find a way to track votes. If only there were some way to have people carry something to certify their identity that could be used to cross-reference the voter rolls. One of these days a real innovator will come along and develop this new system for identifying people.

Hopefully, when some smart person comes up with this sophisticated way to ensure one person is casting one vote under their legal identity, one party won't scream that it's racist.

a reply to: Gryphon66

It's amazing what secrets are unravelled when you pull on a thread hard enough. Great detective work Gryph!

Wait a minute ... I know this sounds crazy, but that's just what they want you to think. Was Donald Trump compromised early in his Presidency or even earlier????

Donald Trump has strong ties to China as well ... Has Elaine Chao been serving as Trump's "Control"?

US President Donald Trump has a Chinese bank account and spent years pursuing business projects in the country, the New York Times has reported.

The account is controlled by Trump International Hotels Management and paid local taxes between 2013 and 2015.

It was set up "to explore the potential for hotel deals in Asia", according to a Trump spokesman.

BBC

President Donald Trump, who declared “I don’t make money from China” in Thursday night’s presidential debate, has in fact collected millions of dollars from government-owned entities in China since he took office. Forbes estimates that at least $5.4 million has flowed into the president’s business from a lease agreement involving a state-owned bank in Trump Tower.

The Industrial and Commercial Bank of China signed a lease for space in 2008, years before the president took office, paying about $1.9 million in annual rent. Trump is well-aware of the deal. “I’ll show you the Industrial Bank of China,” he told three Forbes journalists touring Trump Tower in 2015. “I have the best tenants in the world in this building.”

Trump moved from the skyscraper to the White House in 2017, but he held onto ownership of the retail and office space in the building, through his 100% interest in an entity called Trump Tower Commercial LLC.

Forbes Magazine

I can't beleive that these connections exist!!!! Trump has been profiting directly from China even while he's been asking AMericans NOT TO DO BUSINESS THERE!!!???

WHAT IS GOING ON????

a reply to: Gryphon66

Clearly Trump is a hypocrite

Okay, okay ... it's all starting to make sense now!!!

Trump and his allies have engineered the Biden win on behalf of the CCP!!!

Think about it?

Why would America's Mayor, Rudy Guiliani, suddenly start acting like a proby? This is the man who took down the MOB! Who saw NYC through 9/11!

Yet, he's been reduced to pandering wild baseless theories? Takes cases to court and then under oath denies that they have any merit at all?

Why is Sidney Powell, also a well-known Federal Attorney, creating blunder after blunder in court, thus muddying any hope of Trump being able to bring Voter fraud to light?

Brian Kemp, Governor of Georgia, long time Trump ally ... rushes to certify Georgia's votes, then has a publich "tift" with Trump ... only to post pictures to Facebook FROM the WHITE HOUSE CHRISTMAS PARTY????

Who installed Dominion software in Georgia, huh? Who's been courting Chinese business interests?

Shake off the MSM blinders!!!

Number one...I am one of the most strident critics of the MSM on this site. I've made my opinion very VERY clear on that subject. Yet you are using the NYT, perhaps the pinnacle of the MSM echo chamber, in admonishing me to "shake off the MSM blinders". NYT ~is~ the MSM. Do you not see the irony?

Number two...the article you post is from what....2017? And it's about Ms. Warren opposing one of Trump's cabinet nominations or something. WTH does that have to do with the subject of election integrity??

Your other points about alleged Republican connections to CCP, I haven't studied that, and IDK you might be on to something there, not disputing that. I think /ALL/ US politicians, from both parties, deserve scrutiny in that regard.

My point is, Elizabeth Warren in my view has the same credibility on the subject matter of US election integrity as any of the folks that grossly exaggerated the impact of election fraud in 2020. They are different sides of the same coin.

TRUMP PAYS NO TAX IN AMERICA ... BUT PAYS IN CHINA???

Donald Trump paid nearly $200,000 in taxes to China, report claims

Tax records reviewed by the New York Times showed a previously unreported bank account in China controlled by Trump International Hotels Management. The account paid $188,561 in taxes in China between 2013 and 2015 in connection to potential licensing deals, according the newspaper.

Trump pays taxes to the CCP but not to AMERICA????

And you think this is all crazy? You tell me.

a reply to: SleeperHasAwakened

Why are you trying so hard to cover this up?

The New York Times reported what happened to Warren directly from MITCH MCCONNELL? It's not opinion, it's not fake news because every other major outlet at the time covered it as well?

Why are you trying to focus on the source while these incredible facts keep coming to light?
