As the noose around Venezuela tightens, with more military activity in the Caribbean, the reason for the Trump-directed conflict may have just become clearer.
We have long suspected the U.S. aggression against Venezuela has little to do with drugs, and more to do with the unrestricted warfare Venezuela and its CCP backers have inflicted upon the United States, including stealing elections.
A federal grand jury in Miami on Thursday charged multinational election technology company Smartmatic and several of its top executives with orchestrating a multimillion-dollar bribery and money-laundering scheme, writes The Daily Caller.
In 2024, prosecutors charged Roger Alejandro Piñate Martinez and co-defendant Jorge Miguel Vásquez with laundering bribe money tied to inflated voting machine contracts in the Philippines. Prosecutors allege that from 2015 to 2018, Smartmatic executives Martinez and Vasquez funneled at least $1 million in bribes to then Philippine Commission on Elections (COMELEC) chairman Juan Andres Donato Bautista to secure favorable treatment during and after the 2016 Philippine national elections, according to the indictment.
The payments helped Smartmatic obtain contracts, release value-added tax reimbursements, and receive other financial benefits from the Philippine government. Investigators say the defendants financed the bribes by overcharging for voting machines used in the 2016 election, then concealing the illicit payments through fake contracts, coded language, and international bank transfers routed through Asia, Europe, and the United States.
U.S. prosecutors charged SGO Corporation Limited—Smartmatic’s parent company—along with Piñate, Vasquez, Bautista, and Elie Moreno, with conspiracy to commit money laundering and international money laundering. Piñate and Vasquez also face charges under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA).

Smartmatic was developed in Venezuela for Chavez to steal elections. Dominion, ES&S and other voting systems essentially use updated versions of the Smartmatic-developed technology.
