I posted this on the other thread.
Apparently, I think you have to be a fan of The Hulk comic books/movies to figure this one out.
"There was a good joke in the name of The Kwaidan Corporation but you had to be a real hardcore movie buff to pick up on it. "Kwaidan" was the name of Chinese movie composed of five separate ghost stories. The Kwaidan Corporation was composed of five separate divisions that were no more than elaborate fronts or ‘ghosts’ to hide the true purpose of The Kwaidan Corporation."

Wasn't Circuit Test the one that did the "independent testing" in Fl-13?
If it is this thing is getting huge.

Hi Floridiot.
If I double up on this stuff, let me know Molly and Socrates, my memory is pretty short lately
It can be tough not to "double up" once in a while. When I first started here, I was spamming about Hertzberg too much. It wasn't done on purpose, I just didn't yet fully understand the rules here.
And the rules make perfect sense.
This place gets a lot of views. I am sure there are tons more anonymous folks out there watching our collective backs. This connecting of dots can be contagious. We the people have the power of numbers and should utilize that strength as much as possible. Take care.

You bet it's addictive Socrates...
It appears, after the 2001 filing above, EFTC broke off of Suntron and took their party elsewhere. They're not on the Suntron filing from 2002 on.
I haven't found them yet.
Go for it if you like

Since those addicted to Brad's blog, and since Brad himself has become such a great elections expert, where is your voting system? If you're this bright and know all about what's wrong with all of the "evil" voting machine manufacturers, why not build that better mouse trap? It seems that the energy devoted to attacking others might just be better employed in developing a "better system.".....

Thayer-Blum Funding III owns 98.75% of Suntron
Link
To wit: In the past fews weeks a pair of publicly held EMS firms have announced insider buyouts. Suntron, the defense specialist, is being taken private by Thayer-Blum Funding, the equity firm that already holds 90% of the company’s stock.
The address of Thayer-Blum funding III?
1455 Pennsylvania Ave, Wash. DC...Where else?

For starters, stop treating the people like vermin by forgetting about trapping them.
Under American tradition the vermin are the governmment, because it is power that corrupts, and the definition of government is "the exercise of power".
Too many of your type have become Amurkans. I urge you to go thru a rebirth, a revolution, and get back to America.
It is not far from you.

The information above provided by Floridiot about the name of Kwaidan being an inside joke related to Hulk comic books/movies supports my long-held suspicion that the electronic election technology industry is seriously spook-infested. We have read of our CIA and other government agencies (OGA) rigging or attempting to manipulate the elections of foreign governments.
We need to consider the likelihood that their sights have been turned on our own government as they have so much better access to its election machinery, thanks to the enablers in our Congress, so many of who have been shown to be extremely corrupt. It is my impression that Congress is spook-infested, too. A number of its members, especially those sitting on committees overseeing the CIA and other intelligence-related agencies, have been allegedly spooks themselves (David Boren and Porter Goss come to mind).
We citizens need to speak up and let our Congressional enablers to this election corruption know that it will not be tolerated any longer. If Congress takes away the citizens' primary means of peacefully expressing their will to their representatives (by the ballot) they leave little room for citizens to bring about necessary change except by taking more extreme actions like what happened during the French Revolution of about 1789.

And another thing, these fuckers that are trying to get the poor off of welfare and cut beneficial programs are nothing more than glorified welfare recipients themselves, suckling at the Government teat.
Successful Businessmen, yeah right, that company was showing losses practically every year.
The ones that monitor this blog from the Government I feel the same way about.

One more link that should really piss you off.
Don't forget to wave your pointer over Greenburg Traurig and see James Bass name !!!, these assholes

Just so you know the score, Suntron was named Suntek before and Express EMS before that.

We citizens need to develop our own database of the criminal elite who run this country and are to be regarded as the culpable individuals to target our wrath at if all hell breaks loose in this country, economic or otherwise. To start off the list we need the addresses and personal information for figures such as David Rockefeller and Richard Mellon Scaife so we know where to look to find them.

Suntron, the defense specialist
It's disturbing that anyone affiliated with the military is involved with election integrity issues.
There's a reason why the astroturfers attack the peace movement the most. The natural trend towards peace, love, and understanding poses the greatest threat to the status quo.

This is admittedly speculative. However, the spooks of the black bag variety I have written about above are sometimes hidden in other government agencies than the CIA - from what I have heard and read, in the past they have been clandestinely embedded in NASA and a wide a variety of other government agencies - even in City and state police departments and other local government posts, not to mention in privately contracted "corporate" fronts.
So a person with an apparent military background could conceivably be involved in activities very far afield from what you and I consider legitimately defense-related in a military sense.

#15 ...WMR said France's elections were fixed. Mexicos as well. The Mexicans knew it and took to the streets and stayed there for some time.The guy who lost wanted decent wages and pensions for the people. That would have cut down on our problem with so many Mexicans coming here to work.You know they would rather stay home. Ireland wouldn't go for it and stored their machines. I think the CIA is behind all of it too. Largest terroist organization in the world.

This ain't nothing, a good investigative reporter (or the feebs) should really look into this.
Just for the hell of it I watched Dan Rathers report again and Googled in some sub contractors for Sequoia and ES&S. Some of the names that I've ran across around Suntron keep popping up on Google to different electronics companies that must do work for the other two.
Some may have innocently moved on, but do I think so now after this quick look around?...pfft
And I'm almost sure that it was Circuit Test that was either going to do the testing in Fla-13 before the "experts" were installed to do it, or they aided the "experts" during the test.
I only heard the name one time on the TV news down here. I remember thinking what a fuked up name for a company, real original. Sounded phony to me at the time. I didn't find the name on the net either, I thought that was strange too.
Just follow the money
