ITALY-GATE: Leonardo Tied To Bribes, Chinese Covid Contracts

The pieces of the Italygate puzzle are falling together in short order.

Maria Zack’s investigation tied the Italian part of the election hack to the German part.

She showed that when Trump voters broke the algorithm in play on election night November 3, the new algorithm was transferred on request from a US State Department official in Rome through a satellite leased by the Vatican from Leonardo company in Rome to  Scytl’s backup servers in Frankfurt and thence to Dominion Voting Systems back in the USA.

However, it wasn’t clear how or why Leonardo might be tied to the Chinese end of the hack. Chinese IP addresses as well as Iranian and other IP’s were found on forensic analysis of computers used in the election.

Now comes news of a bribery scheme over Chinese masks in which the Italian government has charged one Mario Benotti, chief of a public-private research unit devoted to medical electronics for use in such things as disaster management and also a journalist with strong relationships with the Vatican, US and Italian universities and bodies concerned with climate change and renewable energy.

Now, get this:

Benotti has very close ties to Leonardo, a part of Finmeccanica Group.

Leonardo is already under investigation for money-laundering, through Google payment platforms [some of whom are also targets of the investigation].

Meanwhile, the massive criminal trial of the ‘Ndrangheta is revealing its profound interpenetration of business and bureaucracies in Italy and elsewhere and its reliance on drug and human trafficking and the laundering of proceeds from that. The Vatican bank has been implicated in money laundering and there are rumors of ties between the ‘Ndrangheta and the Vatican.

No doubt there is a Leonardo tie there as well.

Now comes the Benotti connection to the Covid scamdemic.

Disaster management has from the incept been one of the most lucrative ways in which taxpayer money is redistributed to private contractors. Among disasters, a world- wide plague has repeatedly been war- gamed by the globalists in their end run for totalitarian global government because it ties in perfectly with their propaganda that human beings must be controlled in order to stem the ecological damage which enables increasingly dangerous plagues.

The Covid panic is thus intimately tied to the Climate agenda that Pope Francis has powerfully endorsed. Covid forces public to private redistribution of wealth at lightning speed using a global medical emergency as the pretext.

That redistribution would be considerably ramped up if the false Catholic and corrupt Chinese tool Joe Biden became president.

That is why it is on a  server leased by the Vatican at a defense contractor in Rome that the election theft in favor of Biden hinges:

In The News reports:

The Guardia di Finanza, Italy’s financial crime unit, has opened an investigation into a bribe scheme involving a 1.2 billion Euro deal with China for the acquisition of face masks at the height of the Covid19 pandemic in that country last year. Italian authorities accuse plotters of pocketing 12 million euros in illicit commissions in exchange for contracts given to the Chinese for the masks.

The accusations were so serious in fact, that Italy’s Protezione Civile or Civil Protection Agency’s headquarters were raided last month. (Protezione Civile is loosely-akin to the U.S.’ Federal Emergency Management Agecy or FEMA.)

At the heart of the scandal is Mario Benotti, the head of OPTEL, a public-private research consortium in the field of advanced electronics in the medical, civil and military arenas. As head of the group, Benotti has had close ties with Leonardo SpA, Italy’s billioin-dollar defense contractor.

Benotti has denied any wrongdoing, however. He issued the following statement to the Italian Journalist Agency or AGI, (translated):

“I made myself available to the country at a very difficult time. It was March, Italy was in lockdown. Masks and respirators were missing. People died like flies. I did it as an entrepreneur and taking advantage of my personal friendships that have nothing to do with either the politicians in the government or with those of the opposition,” he said.

“Since I am president of a public private consortium that has relationships all over the world, I made myself available to help find the masks that Italy did not have…if there were better offers than ours, they could have chosen to contact them,” he added.

Leonardo is currently at the center of allegations that equipment owned and operated by the firm was used to facilitate interference in the Nov. 4 U.S. presidential election.

The timing of the opening of the face mask investigation is notable because it was the very next day that Leonardo SpA personnel were arrested on suspicions of hacking sensitive military data on Leonardo’s network.

One of those arrested was Arturo D’Elia, the whistleblower who says he is in possession of evidence of the election interference plot. News of the plot broke in Italian media four days before D’Elia was arrested for the suspected hacking.

The face-mask investigation is also notable in light of last week’s announcement that Guardia di Finanza is investigating another alleged commission-kickback scheme, this one directly involving Leonardo SpA as well as U.S. tech giant Google.

Google is accused of facilitating the illicit movement of funds to Italy that were paid as bribes, according to authorities.

Maria Zack, Chairwoman of NationsInAction.org, a government accountability organization, alleges SpyGate and ItalyGate have been funded with the help of $400 million secretly funneled to Italy in the waning days of the Obama administration.”

Stormy Days: Governments Toppling Like Nine Pins

Today, the entire Russian government stepped down.

CNN:

In his statement on the government’s resignation, Medvedev indicated that it was doing so in order to make life easier for Putin.
He said that the president had “outlined a number of fundamental changes to the constitution,” and that “in this context, it’s obvious that we, as the government … should provide the president of our country with the opportunity to make all the decisions necessary for this.”
Those changes appear to be a redistribution of power, giving parliament the power to appoint a prime minister, who will then appoint a cabinet to be approved by parliament. In Putin’s own words: “In this case, the president will be obliged to appoint them; that is, he will not have the right to reject parliament-approved candidacies.”
The Russian constitution forbids Putin from standing for re-election as president in 2024. However, there is nothing stopping him from becoming prime minister, as he did in 2008, when he and Medvedev swapped roles for four years.
This followed a week in which several European governments also fell:
Italian PM Guiseppe Conte resigned following withdrawal of support by the ultra-right under Matteo Salvini, leading to the collapse of the Italian government.
In the south of Italy the largest mafia trial in decades, the trial of the ‘Ndrangheta, is under way. The ‘Ndrangheta, penetrating the Italian and other governments as well as companies and police, is responsible for a huge volume of drug and human trafficking that it launders all over the world. The trial may well have a relation to Italygate, which in turn is likely the true cause of the collapse of the Italian government, a development predicted by Maria Strollo Zack early in January when she made her first public statements about the hacking of the election through a Leonardo satellite.
The Estonian government of Juri Ratas fell when it came under investigation for corruption.
The Danish government fell when PM Mark Rutte resigned over the state’s erroneous prosecution of parents for child welfare fraud.
German chancellor Angela Merkel will not be continuing in office in the parliamentary elections in September 2021, the country is facing its worst economic decline since the 2009 collapse, and after much chaos Merkel’s center-right party has just chosen its new leader, Armin Laschet.
