Mark Malloch-Brown is the reason why Smartmatic was dragged into the claims of election fraud.
The non-executive chairman at the company (falsely) accused of election fraud is more dangerous than the company itself.
I’VE SPENT NEARLY TWO MONTHS in America trying to find out what actually happened on the 3rd of November 2020. Most of my friends are convinced the election was stolen - most of my family think otherwise. Some claims of election fraud appear genuine - others are wild. So possibly something, or maybe nothing.
But my preoccupation changed when I noticed the name of the chairman of a company that owns voting machines used in elections. Mark Malloch-Brown.
For context: the company Smartmatic announced last week that it is suing Fox News, along with Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell, both members of former President Donald Trump’s legal team, for the distribution of falsehoods, which - in the words of Smartmatic’s Venezuelan-born founder - “have created an existential crisis for the company.” The company denies any allegations of wrongdoing and has declared that none of its technology was used in the contested states.
Hindsight sure, but I would argue that if the company never sought adverse coverage, then it should have applied its mind before appointing such a repulsive creep as chairman.
99.9% of the time people become journalists as a means to power. This is the only reason for that zero-benefits, notoriously bad-for-money job. Columnists are required to speak out here when the truth becomes a casualty of this exercise, but when we fail, the last line of defence is the public (a structure weakened gradually by dishonest journalist allies at Twitter and Facebook). From Vox to Fast Company to The New Statesman and News24, a trail of toxic vomit-colored ambition - social justice warriors, class soldiers, race hustlers and climate chancers - mostly unhappy, boring, university-educated middle-class whites whose minds were poisoned by their jealous, foul-smelling professors.
So it was for Mark Malloch-Brown, a career as a journalist at the Economist before ascending to the (unelected) House of Lords under Gordon Brown. Today, Malloch-Brown demands “climate and racial justice” on his Twitter feed; during the 2000s, he was part of a government that acted as (disgraced former RBS CEO) Fred Goodwin’s personal fluffer.
Here is Mark Steyn, writing way back in 2006, for National Review on a particularly notorious, victim-aping Malloch-Brown speech:
The bit in the speech that got everyone’s attention was when he (Malloch-Brown) argued that the reason the U.N. was so unpopular in America was that the moronic hayseeds in flyover country had fallen for the right-wing blowhards — or, as he put it, “much of the public discourse that reaches the U.S. heartland has been largely abandoned to its loudest detractors such as Rush Limbaugh and Fox News.” He didn’t, in fact, say “Limbaugh” but “Lim-bow,” as in “Daddy Wouldn’t Buy Me a Bow-Wow.” A chap as important as Mr. Malloch-Brown can’t be expected to tune in a radio and actually listen to Rush in order to get his name correct: After all, he’s a lot busier than those dimwit yokels in the “heartland”…
The deputy secretary general’s fellow speakers at this meeting included George Soros, who happens to be Mr. Malloch-Brown’s next-door neighbor and landlord. Mr. Malloch-Brown earns $125,000 a year, $120,000 of which he gives to Mr. Soros as rent for his home, next to the gazillionaire’s own in Westchester County. When they entered into this relationship, Mr. Malloch-Brown was head of the U.N. Development Program, which works with Mr. Soros on many multimillion-dollar projects. The deputy secretary general insists there’s nothing “improper” in his mixing of his professional and personal lives, and, indeed, by the ethical standards of the U.N. — which is to say, the Oil-for-Fraud program, the Child-Sex-for-Food program, etc. — there isn’t.
Smartmatic have tried to defend Malloch-Brown on their website, but the link supposedly endorsing the sleazy wanker doesn’t work - and that may well be because Smartmatic have discovered at the 11th hour that Malloch-Brown hasn’t actually reduced any poverty. He was - and almost certainly still is - part of the careerist aid model that actually entrenches it, that defrauds impoverished African nations, and that ultimately worsens race relations. All of this makes Malloch-Brown an unwitting participant in today’s phenomenon of “neo-racism”. Climate “justice”? Tick. Black Lives Matter? Tick. All-whites-who-voted-for-Donald-Trump-are-domestic terrorists? You bet.
And then there’s the case of Simandou mine in Guinea. One of my mentors knew the project well and attested to the disgusting behaviour of Malloch-Brown. War criminal Tony Blair was also involved on the fringes. Make of it what you will: who in world would entrust the vision and safeguarding of their company to someone like this?
