Disgraced former Afghan president has ties to Biden transportation secretary Buttigieg
August 22, 2021
Tarek Ghani, son of disgraced former Afghan president, has ties to Pete Buttigieg, Elizabeth Warren and George Soros
WASHINGTON, DC- The swamp runs deep…in fact, it runs outside of Washington, D.C., and out of the U.S… and until recently ran all the way into Afghanistan.
That was when now-former Afghan president Ashraf Ghani fled the country with, according to the Russian consulate in Kabul millions of dollars, according to the New York Post.
Ghani, a former World Bank academic who holds a doctorate from Columbia University, was alleged to have fled his collapsing country to Uzbekistan, Al Jazeera reported.
Ghani claims that he fled “to avoid bloodshed,” saying, “I thought it would be better to leave.”
So, what are Ghani’s ties to the Washington, D.C. swamp? Joe Biden’s transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg. According to FrontPageMag, during Buttigieg’s failed presidential run in 2019/2020, Ghani’s son, Tarek Ghani was a foreign policy adviser to Buttigieg.
Ghani was also a senior economic advisor to the Soros International Crisis Group. This isn’t a George Soros endeavor but rather was started by his equally socialist brother Paul Soros.
Tarek Ghani is also tied to an organization called the Center for Global Development, an organization which “works to reduce global poverty and improve lives through innovative economic research.”
Among financing sources include the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Bloomberg Philanthropies, the Ford Foundation, and the Gates Policy Initiative, a virtual who’s who of leftists.
The Board of Directors includes former Secretary of the Treasury under Bill Clinton Lawrence Summers, who also was director of the National Economic Council for the Obama administration between 2009-2011.
Over the past two years, he had served as chief economist for the International Crisis Group, self-described as “an independent, non-profit, non-governmental organization committed to preventing and resolving deadly conflict.”
One of the board members? George Soros…and his son Alexander Soros…and Lawrence Summers. One of the Chairmen Emeriti? Former Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell.
The founder? Lord (Mark) Malloch-Brown, former UN Deputy Secretary-General and Administrator of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).
Who is Mark Malloch Brown? President of the George Soros-funded Open Society Foundations.
Malloch-Brown is the former CEO of Smartmatic, the company deeply tied to Dominion Voting Systems. We all know their story.
According to CSR-OSLO, Tarek Ghani lives in a $1.2 million household in Washington, DC. He currently works as an economics professor at Washington College in St. Louis, while his wife (more swampy stuff), Elizabeth Pearson is the legislative director for Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA).
The home is conveniently located only a mile from the US Capitol.
Meanwhile, Ghani’s daughter, Mariam lives an entitled lifestyle in a Brooklyn, New York loft while women in the country her father abandoned live in fear of living once again under subjugation of the Taliban.
Mariam Ghani was questioned by a reporter from the New York Post this past week, however refused to answer questions.
In an Instagram post last Monday, she said she was “angry and grieving and terribly afraid for family, friends, & colleagues left behind in Afghanistan,” while adding that she was “working feverishly to do anything I can on their behalf.”
Why is it that anything and everything always seems to have one common thread—George Soros?
Last year, Law Enforcement Today reported on Malloch-Brown’s affiliation with Smartmatic and the ties into George Soros. For more on that, we invite you to:
DIG DEEPER
Well, this is…odd. Breitbart News is reporting that billionaire busybody and socialist George Soros has appointed Mark Malloch Brown, the chairman of SGO, the company which owns Smartmatic, the voting machine software company, as the new president of the Open Society Foundations, Soros’ global organization.
How weird is that! Maybe a little quid pro quo? Who knows.
Smartmatic, in case you haven’t been paying attention, is at the center of controversy stemming from numerous voting irregularities in the 2020 presidential election.
In fact, Smartmatic has been named in lawsuits by attorney Sidney Powell who has uncovered what she believes to be a massive voter fraud effort to overturn the election results from President Trump to Biden.
The Associated Press has previously reported that Smartmatic does not own Dominion Software as has been reported in some circles. However, the fact that Smartmatic is in the news and its ties to Soros is interesting if nothing else.
A press release dated December 4 from Open Society Foundations said:
Patrick Gaspard has announced his decision to step down as president at the end of the year. During his three-year tenure, he confronted significant threats to open societies around the globe, including the rise of authoritarian regimes and the spread of the COVID-19 virus worldwide. Under his capable leadership, the Open Society Foundations have emerged stronger than ever.
Succeeding him as president will be Mark Malloch-Brown, the former UN deputy secretary general and UK minister, who currently serves on the Foundations’ Global Board. Malloch Brown will take over effective January 1.
In a recent report, the New York Times tried to downplay the connection between Soros and Smartmatic outside of Malloch-Brown’s association with both, while acknowledging that Malloch-Brown is the chairman of Smartmatic:
Speculation that Mr. Soros has any influence over Smartmatic, or its operations has been thoroughly debunked, and he does not own the company. Mr. Soros’s distant connection to the company is through his association with Smartmatic’s chairman, Mark Malloch-Brown, who is on the board of Mr. Soros’s Open Society Foundation.
While Malloch-Brown is currently the chairman of SGO, he was identified by Smartmatic in the past as its chairman.
SGO announced that given his new role with Soros, Malloch-Brown would be stepping down as chairman of that company, and acknowledged his work with Smartmatic, which is the world’s leading elections technology company. The company claims their “systems have securely processed more than five billion votes on five continents with zero security breaches.”
Soros-related hacks are heavily involved in the theoretical Biden administration, with many of his far-left organizations supplying administrative staff to Biden.
For example, Neera Tanden, head of the Soros-funded Center for American Progress has been named as his theoretical nominee to head the White House Office of Management and Budget.
Tanden would face an uphill battle as she has made numerous controversial comments about Republican senators in the past and seems on her face to lack qualifications for such a position.
Despite Democrats and their media sycophants downplaying the possibility of fraud in this month’s presidential election, numerous alarm bells were raised well ahead of time of possible issues with the technology being utilized in some states which could lead to the issues we are currently seeing.
As this video from 2016 shows, it was a concern back then as well:
As far back as last January, there were warnings about electronic voting machines.
On Jan. 10, 2020, NBC News said that despite assurances that voting machines were “not connected to the Internet,” cybersecurity experts claimed at the time that was not necessarily true.
Going back to 2017, then-Acting Undersecretary for Cybersecurity and Communications at the Department of Homeland Security said exactly that, while testifying before Congress.
At the time, that Undersecretary, Jeanette Manfra was responsible for the security of the nation’s voting system.
In fact, Manfra wasn’t the only government official who made the claim that voting machines weren’t connected to the Internet. NBC reported at the time that numerous government officials had made the same claims, which led a majority of Americans to believe that was indeed the case.
The thought of course is that if voting machines are not connected online, they are not subject to being compromised.
However, NBC said that a team of 10 independent cybersecurity experts who specialize in such systems disagreed with that assessment. They noted that while the machines themselves are not configured to be online, most larger voting systems in many states end up being there, which puts the voting process at risk.
The experts said that in the summer of 2019, they found that some systems were found to be online.
“We found over 35 [voting systems] had been left online and we’re still continuing to find more,” said Kevin Skoglund, a senior technical advisor at national Election Defense Coalition, an election security advocacy group to NBC.
“We keep hearing from election officials that voting machines were never on the Internet,” he said.
“And we know that wasn’t true. And so we set out to try and find the voting machines to see if we could find them on the internet, and especially the back-end systems that voting machines in the precinct were connecting to to report their results.”
Skoglund and his group developed a system which checked the internet to see if the central computers that program voting machines and run the entire election process at the precinct level were online.
After identifying those systems, the relevant election officials were notified, and they also passed the information on to a reporter, Kim Zetter who published the information in Vice’s Motherboard last August.
All three of the largest voting machine manufacturing companies—Election Systems & Software, Dominion Voting Systems and Hart InterCivic—all acknowledged that they put modems in some of their tabulators and scanners.
They explained that this was done so unofficial election results can be transmitted more quickly to the public. Apparently just like the news media, being the first is more important than being accurate, or more specifically implementing security protocols.
In the case of ES&S, they said their systems are protected by firewalls and are not on the “public internet.” However, Skoglund and Andrew Appel, a Princeton computer science professor and an expert on elections, said that such firewalls can and have been breached.
“AT&T and Verizon and so on try and protect as best they can the security of their phone network from the rest of the internet, but it’s still part of the internet,” Appel explained. “There can still be security holes that allow hackers to get into the phone network.”
The 35 systems found by Skoglund’s team likely, NBC News said, were only a fraction of the total voting systems nationwide, however Skoglund believed he only captured a portion of the systems that may have been online.
Also, Skoglund showed NBC that even after officials in three jurisdictions were notified that their systems were online and vulnerable, on the week of the NBC interview those systems were still online.
Appel said that election systems being online even if only for a short time presents a problem.
“Once a hacker starts talking to the voting machine through the modem, the hacker cannot just change these unofficial election results, they can hack the software in the voting machine and make it cheat in the future,” he said.
Skoglund said that ES&S confirmed they had sold scanners with wireless modems to at least 11 seats, including both Michigan and Wisconsin.
ES&S told NBC News that 14,000 of their DS200 tabulators with online modems were in use around the country at the time NBC spoke to them.
Meanwhile around the same time, Bloomberg Law reported that concern was expressed long ago about Chinese infiltration into election voting equipment, which was actually raised as a concern among voting machine vendors.
On Jan. 9, 2020, executives from the three vendors named above—Hart InterCivic, Dominion Voting Systems and Election Systems & Software—told the House Administration Committee that they were looking for guidance from the Department of Homeland Security on how to secure their subcontractors.
At the time, committee chairwoman Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) noted that the hearing was the first time all three CEOs agreed under oath that they would support regulations from the government.
The three told lawmakers that they had “no choice” but to use components made in China because there were no USA-made equivalents.
“Do you see why that concerns all of us up here?” said ranking member Rodney Davis (R-Ill).
“Absolutely,” all three CEOs said.
Dominion CEO John Poulos said he was hoping for supply-chain guidance to be written into new voluntary standards for voting machines being developed by the U.S. Election Assistance Commission.
Finally, on November 2, Yahoo Finance reported that concerns had been raised about technology which ranged from voting machines to results website which could “easily disrupt voting or sow doubts about the income.”
In fact, one of the battleground states that has been at the center of the election controversy over the past week, Georgia, used touchscreen voting machines for the first time this election cycle.
Likewise, in yet another state where voting has turned into a cluster, Pennsylvania, new voting machines experienced malfunctions last year. In order to rectify that issue, the machines were reconfigured to speed up the counting of ballots, apparently in such a way as to not permit voters to hold the ballots in their hands.
Yet another issue is servers that store voter data, and which post unofficial results were identified as being vulnerable to temporary outages.
“Any kind of disinformation about election-related technology, even if there is no hack, is cause for concern, because to be effective, all that is required is for the public to perceive a problem—whether real or not,” according to Eddie Perez, director of technology development and open standards at the Open Source Election Technology Institute, an election technology advocacy organization.
In the leadup to the election, officials were concerned about a lack of faith in the voting systems, a fear that has been realized after numerous issues have been raised after the election, where President Trump held large leads on Election Night, only to see those leads evaporate in the early morning hours while people were sleeping.
Where Georgia is concerned, the state used to use paperless machines which did not offer a backup or way to reliably recount votes in questionable or close elections.
However, the new machines which replaced them has also raised concerns. The new machines, also referred to as ballot-marking devices are basically touchscreen computers which produce a paper, bar-coded ballot.
According to security researchers, errors or tampering could render the bar codes differently from what was selected by the voter, which makes them less secure than paper ballots marked by hand.
These types of devices are typically used for Americans with disabilities, since many of those voters cannot hold pens or are unable to read small text on paper ballots. In the case of Georgia, however, they chose to deploy them for all voters no matter what the need.
While Georgia election officials downplay the risk of hacking or malfunctions, cybersecurity experts disagree.
Appel, as well as Richard DeMillo of Georgia Tech and Philip Stark of the University of California Berkeley said, “There is no way to deter, contain, or correct computer hacking in BMDs” [ballot marking devices]. These are the essential security flaws of BMDs.”
Aside from hacking, the machines are also “prone to glitches, configuration errors and other malfunctions,” especially due to the relative inexperience poll workers have with the machines.
Georgia found that out last June in their primary when some machines failed to boot up, with poll workers having problems activating them and then polling places ran out of provisional ballots which serve as a backup for voters.
Precinct workers reported at the time that they’d received minimal training with little or no technical troubleshooting for the new machines.
