The UN and some US entities worked before and after the 2018 and 2020 elections and many of the same players in these efforts are now trying to derail or stop 2020 election audits in the US today.
Harri Hursti, Ph.D., computer scientist, and Elizabeth Howard, Cybersecurity and Elections Counsel of the radical, Soros-funded nonprofit, the Brennan Center for Justice in Manhattan, are both experts in election cybersecurity. In 2018 they were part of a UN initiative surrounding election cybersecurity and now they are part of efforts to derail or sabotage audits of the 2020 election, Howard in Maricopa County, Arizona, and Hursti in Windham, New Hampshire.
Yesterday we reported that Howard and Hursti briefed a roomful of U.N. election observers on November 3, 2018. That briefing took place in Washington, D.C. and it concerned election cybersecurity. Three days later, on Election Day, a team of 186 U.N. election observers was deployed all over America - we don't know where - to observe our mid-term elections and to gather data for the U.N.
The U.N. committee Howard and Hursti spoke to in 2018 is chaired by Isabel Santos, who is the OSCE PA / ODIHR, which stands for the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe Parliamentary Assembly / the Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights.
Comment: It's likely that China is being proactive for reasons it has stated quite openly, which is that these cryptocurrencies "are not supported by real value", their prices are easily manipulated, and the contracts are not protected by Chinese law.
Note, that banks, financial institutions, and the like are the target of the ban, individuals are not barred from holding cryptocurrencies,
Prior to the ban, China accounted for nearly 90% of the speculative market, and having that much wealth, and the prospect of much more, trapped in these dubious, insecure assets leaves it open to attack from any nefarious agency that might seek to do it harm. And it's clear that there are forces out there that have China in their sights.
One only need to look at the action of the IMF with it's disaster capitalism, or to the financial crash of 2008, to realise that financial speculation, mismanagement and fraud can bring a country to its knees.
