The Carlyle Group is a global asset management company founded in 1987

specializing in private equity.

Based in Washington, D.C.,the group invests in many areas of activity, such as

aeronautics, defense,automotive and transportation,energy,telecommunications and
media. Through its subsidiary AlpInvest,it operates four different businesses: private
equity,real estate, market strategies and funds of funds. Its investments are mainly
located in North America, Europe and Southeast Asia.

In its 2010 annual report, the group reported more than $150 billion in diversified asset
management on more than 84 segregated funds2. It has $89.3 billion in equity3 and
employs 1,000 people, half of whom are investment professionals in 21 countries. The
various companies in its portfolio employ a total of more than 415,000 people worldwide
and Carlyle has approximately 1,300 investors in 71 countries around the world.

According to a 2011 ranking called the Private Equity Index 300 (PEI 300)based on
capital raised over the past five years, Carlyle is the third largest investment company in
the world, behind TPG Capital and Goldman Sachs Principal Investment Area4. Carlyle
was ranked first in the 2007 list5.

The Carlyle Group has been led since January 2003 by Louis Gerstner, former boss
ofIBM6. Among its leaders, many personalities have succeeded each other, such as
George H. W. Bush or Olivier Sarkozy.

In 2010, the Financial Times proclaimed the Carlyle Group as the investment company
of the year.

Histoire( Editing by . . Edit the source code . .

Carlyle was created in 1987,with $5 million, in the salons of the New York palace of the
same name, thanks to a case of Eskimos. Under an agreement with the federal
government,Alaskan companies received significant federal subsidies in 1971to
establish local businesses. Fifteen years later, most of these companies have
accumulated considerable debts and are threatening to file for bankruptcy. Alaskan
Senator Ted Stevens then succeeded in passing a clause in the 1984 tax law allowing
these companies to sell their debts to successful U.S. companies. Its founders, four
lawyers, including David Rubenstein (former adviser to US President Jimmy Carter in
the White House),then aimed to take advantage of this loophole in tax legislation. It
allows Eskimo-owned companies in Alaska to transfer their losses to profitable
businesses that pay less tax. The group vegetated until January 1989 and the arrival at
its head of the man who invented the Carlyle system, Frank Carlucci. Former deputy
director of the CIA, national security adviser and then secretary of defense to Ronald
Reagan,Carlucci and the latter were roommates when they were students at Princeton.
They then met in many administrations and even worked, for a time, for the same
company7,8.

In 1997,the group acquired United Defense,a major supplier to the U.S. Army for
combat vehicles and artillery.

The former Parisian site of the National Printing House (Convention Street, 15th
arrondissement).

In June 1999, he invested 26.5 million euros in the French daily newspaper Le Figaro
(ahead of the Dassault Group),acquiring 4.9% of the daily's shares as well as a portfolio
of bonds convertible into shares representing about 37% of the capital (the remaining
60% being held by Socpresse)9.
In 1999, the group managed more than $4 billion in investments worldwide 10.

On September 11, 2001,the day of the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in
New York and the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., Carlyle convened its annual council in
washington, D.C.,comprising several hundred investors linked to the group. Guests
include George H. W. Bush,41st President of the United States and father of President
George W. Bush,as well as Shafig bin Laden,the half-brother ofOsama bin Laden,leader
ofAl Qaeda,the structure accused of the attack11. Shafig bin Laden was one of 13
members of the Bin Laden family who left the United States in a U.S.-registered
N521DB Boeing 727 on September 19, 200112. The proximity of the names Bush and
Bin Laden on this very day challenges the media13 and reveals Carlyle to the general
public.

In 2003,the Carlyle Group bought the premises of theNational Printing House,which was
dismantled, from the French State for 85 million euros. The State bought the same
buildings in 2007 to make it the new Ministry of Foreign Affairs,for 376.5 million euros,
or 4.5 times the starting price after about 120 million euros of work14.

On March 13, 2008, the carfying fund subsidiary Carlyle Capital Corporation (CCC) was
announced for bankruptcy following the subprime crisis,which would not have a
"measurable impact" on the Carlyle Group's financial position. Indeed, a system of
partitioning of subsidiaries helps to preserve the interest of shareholders by diluting the
financial risk on the community15.

Capital who owns Dominion Voting,
involves a huge political background
In Michigan, after 6,000 votes were tabulated for Biden instead of Trump in Antrim County,
Michigan Republican Party Chairwoman Laura Cox, said that 47 of Michigan’s 83 counties
“used this same software in the same capacity”

The voting machines belonged to a company called Dominion Voting Systems. Dominion
Software is used in 28 US states including all of the battleground states or swing states.

Who owns the Dominion Voting Systems?

July 16, 2018 Dominion Voting Systems (“Dominion Voting”) announces that it has been
acquired by its management team and Staple Street Capital.

Staple Street Capital is a private equity firm founded in 2009 based in New York.The co-
founders Stephen D. Owens and Hootan Yaghoobzadeh are veterans of The Carlyle Group
and Cerberus Capital Management, also the Board members of Dominion Voting. The
official website of Staple Street Capital has deleted the team introduction.

William E. Kennard is an Executive Board Member of Staple Street Capital, also worked for
The Carlyle Group.

Kennard nominated as ambassador to the EU by Barack Obama in August 2009 and is a

member of Secretary of State John Kerry’s Foreign Affairs Policy Board.He was a key force
behind Obama’s decision in February 2013 to launch negotiations on the ambitious
Transatlantic Trade.He was also chairman of the U.S. Federal Communications
Commission after being appointed by President Bill Clinton in 1997.

Before nominated as ambassador to the EU by Barack Obama in 2009,Kennard was

managing director of the Carlyle Group(2001-2009) where he led investments in the
telecommunications and media sectors.

Staple Street Capital’s co-founders and Board members of Dominion Voting, Stephen D.
Owens was a managing director of the Carlyle Group (1998 – 2009), Hootan
Yaghoobzadeh worked for the Carlyle Group (2002 – 2003), Cerberus Capital Management
(2003 – 2009).

About The Carlyle Group

The key person of Dominion Voting are all related to The Carlyle Group. The Carlyle Group
is an American multinational private equity, alternative asset management and financial
services corporation, with more than $203 billion in assets under management across 126
funds and 139 fund of funds vehicles.
In 2015, Carlyle was the world’s largest private equity firm by capital raised over the
previous five years, according to the PEI 300 index, though by 2020 it had slipped into
second place.

In April 2003, it was reported that the Carlyle Group is managed by a team of former US
Government personnel including its president Frank Carlucci, former deputy director of the
CIA before becoming Defence Secretary. His deputy is James Baker III, who was US
Secretary of State under George Bush senior. The financial assets of the Saudi Binladen
Corporation (SBC) are also managed by the Carlyle Group. The Bin Laden family
liquidated its holdings in Carlyle’s funds in October 2001, just after the September 11
attacks, when the connection of their family name to the Carlyle Group’s name
became impolitic.

Many influential characters have worked for or invested in the group, including John Major,
former UK Prime Minister;Fidel Ramos, former Philippines President; Park Tae Joon, former
South Korean Prime Minister; Saudi Prince Al-Walid; Colin Powell, former Secretary of
State; James Baker III, former Secretary of State; Caspar Weinberger, former Defense
Secretary; Richard Darman, former White House Budget Director; the billionaire George
Soros, and some bin Laden family members. You can add Alice Albright, daughter of
Madeleine Albright, former Secretary of State; Arthur Lewitt, former SEC head; William
Kennard, former head of the FCC, to this list. Finally, add in the Europeans: Karl Otto Pöhl,
former Bundesbank president; Henri Martre, former president of Aerospatiale; and
Bilderberg steering committee member Etienne Davignon.
 In 2011, Carlyle acquired AlpInvest, which is one of the largest private equity investment
managers globally with over €38 billion under management, AlpInvest has historically been
the exclusive manager of private equity investments for the investment managers of two of
the world’s largest pension funds Stichting Pensioenfonds ABP and Stichting
Pensioenfonds Zorg en Welzijn.

Carlyle’s corporate private equity business has been one of the largest investors in
leveraged buyout transactions over the decade 2004–2014 (or perhaps 2000–2010),Carlyle
has invested in Accolade Wines, Booz Allen Hamilton, PA Consulting, Dex Media, Dunkin’
Brands, Supreme, Freescale Semiconductor**, Getty Images, HCR ManorCare,
Hertz, Kinder Morgan, Nielsen, United Defense, and other companies.

The Carlyle Group is known as Crony Capitalism and the Iron Triangle,the so-called iron-
triangle refers to industry, govt and the military. The Carlyle Group is infamous for the
number of ex-Govt and high-ranking political leaders who work for them.

Behind Dominion Voting is a huge swamp creature with tentacles all over the world, which
is the reason behind election fraud and fake news. We can notice that in 2009, the former
director of Carlyle founded Staple Street Capital, and William Kennard who is an Executive
Board Member of Staple Street nominated as ambassador to the EU by Barack Obama in
2009. This may be related to Obama, and the Carlyle Group is accused of being related to
the Bush family, which also reveals why Bush supports the Obama Biden administration.

Miles Guo mentioned in a live broadcast recently that the Bush family will support President
Trump. I think maybe Obama’s business is messed up and the Deep State is splitting.

This is a systematic national-level crime chain, involving many national political figures,
business celebrities,media tycoons.The above is the first installment, the heavy weight is
not yet finished.

Capitol Hill staffers and lawyers who know John and have requested him to represent
the Clinton campaign this year at their January meeting in Wilmington, Delaware. If
John can't make it, lets think about who else might work for this group. There is also a
lot of fundraising potential with this group that includes several partners at law firms.

ERIC HOLDER RETURNS

AS HERO TO LAW FIRM
THAT LOBBIES FOR BIG
BANKS
After failing to criminally prosecute any of the financial
firms responsible for the market collapse in 2008,
former Attorney General Eric Holder is returning to
Covington & Burling, a corporate law firm known for
serving Wall Street clients.

Lee Fang

July 6 2015, 8:29 a.m.

After failing to criminally prosecute any of the financial firms
responsible for the market collapse in 2008, former Attorney General
Eric Holder is returning to Covington & Burling, a corporate law firm
known for serving Wall Street clients.
The move completes one of the more troubling trips through the
revolving door for a cabinet secretary. Holder worked at Covington
from 2001 right up to being sworn in as attorney general in Feburary
2009. And Covington literally kept an office empty for him, awaiting
his return.
The Covington & Burling client list has included four of the largest
banks, including Bank of America, Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase and
Wells Fargo. Lobbying records show that Wells Fargo is still a client
of Covington. Covington recently represented Citigroup over a civil
lawsuit relating to the bank’s role in Libor manipulation.
Covington was also deeply involved with a company known as
MERS, which was later responsible for falsifying mortgage
documents on an industrial scale. “Court records show that
Covington, in the late 1990s, provided legal opinion letters needed to
create MERS on behalf of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Bank of
America, JPMorgan Chase and several other large banks,” according
to an investigation by Reuters.
The Department of Justice under Holder not only failed to pursue
criminal prosecutions of the banks responsible for the mortage
meltdown, but in fact de-prioritized investigations of mortgage fraud,
making it the “lowest-ranked criminal threat,” according to an
inspector general report.
For insiders, the Holder decision to return to Covington was never a
mystery. Timothy Hester, the chairman of Covington, told the
National Law Journal that Holder’s return to the firm had been “a
project” of his ever since Holder left to the join the administration in
2009. When the firm moved to a new building last year, it kept an
11th-story corner office reserved for Holder.
James Garland, Holder’s former deputy chief of staff, WHO
REJOINED COVINGTON I N 2010, told the Law Journal that
when Covington’s partners gathered to welcome Holder back four
weeks ago, “He was so busy giving people hugs and shaking hands.”
As Covington prepared for Holder’s return, the firm continued to
represent clients before the Department of Justice. For instance,
Covington negotiated with the department on behalf of
GlaxoSmithKline for a plea agreement in 2010.
Holder’s critics charge that he made a career out of institutionalizing
“Too Big to Prosecute” rules within the department. In 1999, as a
deputy attorney general, Holder authored a memo arguing that
officials should consider the “collateral consequences” when
prosecuting corporate crimes. In 2012, Holder’s enforcement chief,
Lanny Breuer, admitted during a speech to the New York City Bar
Association that the department may go easy on certain corporate
criminals if they believe prosecutions may disrupt financial markets or
cause layoffs. “In some cases, the health of an industry or the
markets are a real factor,” Breuer said.
Rather than face accountability for their failures, the incentive
structure of modern Washington is designed to reward both men.
Breuer left the department in 2013 to rejoin Covington. Holder is set
to become among the highest-earning partners at the firm, with
compensation in the seven or eight figures.

Timothy Stratford
Managing partner in the Beijing office of Covington & Burling LLP

I have been actively involved in AmCham China since the organization was first
established informally in the early 1980’s, and I am proud of the role the organization
has played in serving the American business community and representing the
community in interactions with the Chinese and U.S. governments, media, and others. I
have served on the AmCham China board for many years, chaired several AmCham
China committees, and served as Vice Chairman in the late 1990’s and then as
Chairman during 2000 and 2001 when AmCham China played an important role in
supporting China’s admission into the WTO. When I served in Washington as the
Assistant USTR responsible for China (2005-10), I met regularly with AmCham and
referred often to AmCham’s White Paper as I set priorities for U.S. government
negotiations with China on trade and investment issues. Before that, as Minister-
Counselor for Commercial Affairs in the U.S. Embassy (1989-92), I served as an ex
officio member of the AmCham China Board and arranged for the U.S. ambassador to
give monthly briefings to the AmCham membership.

I currently lead AmCham China’s Bilateral Investment Treaty (BIT) Task Force. I believe
that the ongoing treaty negotiations between the U.S. and China present a once-in-a-
generation opportunity for American companies to address some of their longstanding
concerns about the business environment in China, and I am committed to help
members understand how they can take full advantage of this opportunity. I hope you
will give me the opportunity to serve once again as a member of the AmCham board.
