    IDOX Plc, a private company with shareholders mostly made up of American/companies Archived Message

    Posted by Gerard on January 18, 2020, 1:49 pm

    "So, it appears we have been royally screwed by Boris Johnson and the Conservatives in this last election, with new facts coming to light on a near daily basis that only makes my “crazy” conspiracy theory more plausible.

    (Update 21/12: Added links)

    (Update 26/12: Added a few more articles of interest)

    (Update 03/01: Added email exchange with Electoral Commission)

    (Update 04/01: Added a bit about being trolled on Twitter)

    (Update 08/01: Added another couple of articles)

    (Update 12/01: Added another great article about the corruption in the system)

    Now, bear with me as I go through some details with you. All are facts, which I encourage each and every reader to go out and discover for themselves - it’s all available online with a bit of digging.

    First up, today’s revelation (at least at the time of writing). IDOX Plc, a private company with shareholders mostly made up of American asset and financial management companies, is apparently responsible for the oversight, distribution, and counting of 90% of the country’s postal votes.

    Source: IDOX website, but this has the same quote, plus a lot more information:

    https://wikispooks.com/wiki/Idox_Elections

    Also, Halarose, a company IDOX acquired in 2017, was conveniently shut down when the comments about electoral fraud cropped up after this most recent election:

    https://wikispooks.com/wiki/Halarose

    Some of the other companies listed as shareholders appear to be UK companies, but I can’t seem to find records of them at Companies House.

    IDOX Shareholders:

    https://www.idoxgroup.com/investors/shareholdings/

    Companies House Company Search Page:

    https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/

    One of the directors for a “UK holdings” branch company with shares in IDOX even has the same surname as our Prime Minister. Coincidence? Maybe. It’s possible, there are lots of Johnsons out there. I’ve not been able to confirm a connection or not, but it’s still an interesting point.

    SFM UK Holdings:

    https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/06611623/officers

    (Note: I can find no other record of a ‘Boid,’ but there are records online about a ‘Boyd’ which, given the connection to Soros, seems a likely candidate)

    IDOX has a Board of Directors, like most limited companies, most of which were only appointed between August 2018 and March 2019. In fact, only one person remained from their previous Board, and he’s been there since 2013.

    IDOX Directors:

    https://www.idoxgroup.com/investors/directors-responsibilities/

    IDOX Directors on Companies House (including Peter Lilley):

    https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/03984070/officers

    Now the other interesting thing to note about this company is that Peter Lilley, a Conservative MP and Deputy Leader of the Conservative Party until his appointment to the House of Lords in 2018, was also an IDOX director from 2002 to April 2018, right before his ascension to the Lords.

    Why would anyone think it is acceptable for a private company, there to make a profit for the shareholders, with such obvious ties to a political party, any political party, that doesn’t matter, anywhere near counting votes?

    Well, it looks even more suspicious when it seems the first election IDOX used their systems for was the 2014 Independence Referendum (when the Conservative MP was still a director) where they were used in Scotland, and in just 2014, David Cameron sent a letter out to everyone on the electoral register telling them to sign up for postal voting.

    IDOX in the Scottish Referendum:

    https://melkelly60.wixsite.com/whatthepapersdontsay/post/2017/05/02/snp-put-tories-in-charge-of-election-count

    There are also a number of news articles about concern over the Tory directorship of a company doing the vote counts.

    David Cameron letter is shown on the Wikispooks page I linked earlier.

    Then we’ve got thousands of postal vote registrations being denied in Northern Ireland, wish similar reports seen on social media about other parts of the UK too.

    https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/politics/general-election-2019/general-election-aiken-says-uup-taking-legal-advice-as-chief-electoral-officer-rejects-claims-votes-were-lost-over-ni-registration-processes-38801872.html

    Suddenly, it makes sense how Conservative MP Dominic Raab and Conservative Chief Propagandist Laura Kuenssberg can claim to have knowledge of postal vote results even before the election, when electoral law dictates the postal votes are not to be opened or looked at until the polling stations close at 10pm on election day.

    Many sources, but…

    Laura:

    https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/bbc-laura-kuenssberg-postal-votes-electoral-commission-a9242976.html

    Dominic:

    https://www.reddit.com/r/brexit/comments/e5odfs/dominic_raab_just_freely_admitted_to_electoral/

    Speaking of the Chief Propagandist brings me neatly to the next point, media bias against Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour Party. Independent studies done by Loughborough University clearly shows a massive increase in the negative stories about Labour and Corbyn over the past few years, even to the point of quoting unconfirmed and anonymous “sources” as unfiltered fact.

    Loughborough Report (this is their news article about it, the link to the full report is at the bottom):

    https://www.lboro.ac.uk/media-centre/press-releases/2017/may/newspapers-remain-hostile-to-labour-in-coverage/

    For Laura’s quotes, take a look at most of what she tweeted and reported during the election campaign. “Senior Government/Conservative sources,” was one of her favourite phrases.

    I can understand the bias to an extent from most print newspapers, and the news channels which all report to offshore billionaires who don’t want to have to pay more taxes (who does, right?), but you would expect better from the BBC, wouldn’t you?

    They are our national broadcaster, paid for by our license fees to provide the UK with relevant and accurate news. No shareholders or billionaires to please, so we should be able to expect the truth, right? Wrong, apparently."..

    .."The BBC used to be run by the BBC Trust. The Royal Commission for the Trust ran out in 2017. Rather than renew it, the Conservative Government instead set up the BBC Board to run the BBC.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC_Board

    Chairman appointed by the Queen at the suggestion of the Secretary of State: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chairman_of_the_BBC

    Chairman appoints the rest of the Board:

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/latestnews/2017/board-appointments

    So, Government basically decides who is running the BBC.

    Now, the Chairman of this Board is someone who used to be a Deputy Governor at the Bank of England, and has spent most of his career working for big money corporations.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Clementi

    The BBC’s Director-General is also on the Board. Now, this is a man whom Boris Johnson apparently personally requested chair the Cultural Olympiad committee and was also on the Board of the London Organising Committee for the 2012 Olympic Games.

    Director-General:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Director-General_of_the_BBC

    Sir Tony Hall:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Hall,_Baron_Hall_of_Birkenhead

    (Specific line is near the end of External appointments, referencing Johnson as the Mayor of London)

    So, a man that is in charge of overseeing our national news broadcaster has direct connections to Boris Johnson, it appears. Coupled with the number of senior political journalists, presenters, and commentators with direct links to the Conservative Party or one of its affiliated groups, and the sheer unadulterated bias displayed at the BBC, this can surely only mean one thing? A deliberate attempt to use our national broadcaster to subvert the truth and our democracy.

    Also, Nick Robinson:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Robinson_(journalist)

    Now, this kind of thing should be investigated by the Electoral Commission. Except, the Electoral Commission has a Board of Directors, most of whom were appointed since 2016, and most of whom have served in the Conservative Government, in one role or another.

    Electoral Commission Directors:

    https://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/who-we-are-and-what-we-do/who-we-are/executive-team-and-senior-leadership-group/our-executive-team

    One of them even worked as a finance officer in the 2012 games, probably reporting to the Organising Committee, including the BBC’s Director-General.

    All the Electoral Commission will say when repeatedly informed of the media’s various breaches of electoral law is to report it to the BBC first, or the Police if we think the law has been broken. The Police tell us it’s the job of the Electoral Commission to investigate breaches of electoral law, and the BBC go so far as to shut down their complaints line and web page so they don’t have to deal with them.

    https://twitter.com/ElectoralCommUK/status/1204790546675437573

    Comments from the Police were by telephone.

    For the BBC site, there were various images posted by people on Twitter who had tried to complain, but couldn’t access the site.

    Why would the BBC or the Electoral Commission avoid hundreds, probably thousands of complaints about reporters and MPs, live on air, admitting to electoral fraud? They wouldn’t, unless they didn’t care about the truth.

    Even those complaints that did get through and were subject to a response, it wouldn’t surprise me if the BBC’s general viewers don’t know about the admissions of “mistakes” released as a short statement on their websites. And they were only the ones that were proven wrong with incontrovertible facts. All others were just dismissed.

    The other point I’d like to make about our media is their fondness for YouGov as a source for all the polls they quote - 60% of people say such-and-such, etc. This is a polling company that only has a 2 point rating on Trustpilot, so aren’t very trustworthy in the first place, and that have already been involved in a campaign to try to influence an election.

    https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2018/10/03/yougov-bid-influence-iraq-vote-uncovered/

    The last thing to note about YouGov is that it, like IDOX, is also a Conservative company, with Directors directly linked to the Conservative Party, including one that is currently in Boris Johnson’s cabinet - Nadhim Zahawi.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nadhim_Zahawi

    If by some miracle these people were held to account and prosecuted for their law breaking, what trust is there in a judiciary which appoints Boris Johnson’s own former lawyer to adjudicate on Boris Johnson himself? That’s right, the judiciary that dismissed the lawsuit about Boris Johnson lying in the 2016 Brexit referendum included his own lawyer.

    Twitter thread, leading to a video explaining it all:

    https://twitter.com/OGMurphy1/status/1207752512025112577

    Of course, it doesn’t help that the Conservatives also appointed the Attorney General to be in charge of basically everything law related in the UK. This is a man photographed hosting potentially illegal fox hunts on his own land. Of course, the only way to prove that it’s an illegal hunt as opposed to a legal ‘trail hunt’ is to find a fox being killed, and for some reason, the huntsmen are very adamant about not letting people watch. When they’re not blocking roads, of course.

    Now, I don’t make any claim to any kind of journalistic skill, and freely admit there are many holes in this theory that could do with filling, but I really do think we’ve been set up, and I do believe it’s all about Brexit. Up to this point, all the details I’ve mentioned are facts, freely available online to look up for yourself. The next bit delves a bit into theory, as I’ve been unable to find concrete evidence to back it up.

    No matter how you look at it, Brexit will be bad for the UK. You’ll notice that none of it’s advocates have been able to offer any concrete evidence of how it will make life better, while there is plenty of evidence, even from the Government’s own files, that show it will be worse, regardless of whatever version of Brexit we end up with.

    https://edition.cnn.com/2018/11/28/economy/brexit-economic-impact/index.html (Why is this reported on CNN and not here?)

    We know it will cause chaos in Northern Ireland, either with a border between them and the mainland, or Northern and and the Republic of Ireland. That cannot be avoided, no matter how much Boris Johnson wants us to believe otherwise. Why? Because there will no longer be free movement of people, goods, and services across the current invisible line that serves as a border on a map.

    We know Scotland doesn’t want it. Brexit would be terrible for Scotland’s economy. Nicola Sturgeon is now saying they have a democratic mandate for another Independence referendum. Bye bye Scotland, unless, of course, they’re using the Conservative vote rigging counting company like nearly all of us did in this most recent election. Then they’re likely doomed to failure, I’m afraid.

    I wonder if IDOX did the vote counts for the Brexit referendum too? I imagine they did for part of the country at least. Were there any unexpected leave victories in pro-remain areas thanks to postal votes?

    Anyway, why do I think this all part of a larger conspiracy? One of Boris Johnson’s friends, and one of Donald Trump’s friends. One who seems determined to undermine and destroy the EU - Steve Bannon. He came to the UK and helped Boris Johnson with his anti-EU Brexit campaign, and then after a brief stint back in the US, basically disappeared claiming he was going to set up some kind of global conservative movement. His exact quote is easy enough to find, so I’ll let you draw your own conclusions from it.

    “Destroy the EU”:

    Steve Bannon (and his comment):

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Bannon

    The only concrete trade deal offer we have for after Brexit is from the US, and it involves lowering our food and safety standards to allow inferior goods and food to be imported, and giving the US healthcare market access to the NHS.

    Lower standards:

    Boris Johnson claimed during his election campaign that there was no chance at all that US companies could increase drug prices for the NHS. It has been quietly revealed by a Conservative minister in the last few days that this could well happen after all.

    Drug Prices:

    He (and Health Secretary Matt Hancock) also promised there would be no further privatisation of the NHS. Despite that claim, as of April last year, there were £127 Million worth of NHS contracts up for grabs to private companies.

    https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/nhs-privatisation-health-secretary-contracts-companies-matt-hancock-jon-ashworth-a8857021.html

    Can we trust any of his other promises about any of this? Especially when you consider that he’s been fired twice for lying. Once from a position of journalist, and another while in Government itself.

    https://www.theneweuropean.co.uk/top-stories/how-boris-johnson-piloted-the-post-truth-election-1-6398421

    American finance companies are behind the company running our voting system (along with a few UK or Cayman companies where I suspect you might find one or two familiar names if you dig deep enough). America is the only country that will benefit from Brexit, with all new access to our national health service (and thus our public finances - taxes we all pay), and an all new export market free from EU safety standards. And the only people who will be paying for it are the British public.

    And why won’t he release the Russia report? It’s been cleared by the various intelligence agencies for release, so why has Boris Johnson personally delayed it’s release? If the media smear about Corbyn being a Russian agent was true, surely he’d have released it the same day he got it? Guess that was a lie too then. So what was it Johnson was trying to hide?

    Could it possibly have something to do with the accused Russian involvement with the Brexit leave campaign? Or maybe the influx of Russian money into the Conservative Party itself. Who knows. And we won’t know for a while yet. He’s delayed it even further, from what I hear. My guess is he’s hoping people will forget about it so he can slip it out with no-one noticing.

    If only there was a trustworthy national broadcaster employing lots of journalists with integrity and the dedication to the truth that a profession in journalism really needs to investigate all this mess.

    Addition:

    Turns out I’m not the only one looking at fraud here. Seems it might go even further than I thought:
