time to put my 2000 research out here -- researchers welcome

[grasswire]

Since 2000, I've been sitting on something I stumbled over on the net. I was not able to take the research further, because doing so requires knowledge about stock sales and transfers, corporate buyouts, etc., and I have no expertise in that. The summary below was sent to two trusted, extremely high profile investigative Dem authors (friends of mine), who both told me that if the evidence could all be gathered, the story would be a bombshell.

In 2000, this story sounded like something from the blue -- like the craziest of conspiracy theories. Now, after Ohio and after the AG mess has ripped the curtain off the Mayberry Macchiavellis, do you think it is far fetched? Impossible?

If anyone wants to follow up on this, please post your research on DU.

................

In late 1997, a Texas corporation that had previously consisted of a solid business in auto parts outlets and industrial supplies began to suddenly buy up companies related to voting machines and election services. The company was Tyler Corporation and the CEO was William Oates, founder of Business Resources Corporation and CEO of Business Records Corporation, which he also started.

Tyler Corporation purchased Business Records Corporation in 1998, and Oates replaced Fred Meyer, a Dallas man whose credentials include chairmanship of the George W. Bush inaugural, chairmanship of Victory 2000 (the Bush fundraising campaign) and a Bush family crony for many decades. Tyler Corporation changed its name to Tyler Technologies. According to election fraud expert Eve Waxtell, Tyler had/has financial ties to Cronus Corporation, which had purchased companies controlling 80 percent of the U.S. voting systems (CES, Thornber, and Governmental Data). There were crossover members of boards of directors between Cronus, Tyler, BRC and other entities in the elections services business.

Here's where it gets even more interesting. After buying an enormous share of the elections business starting in late 1997 and installing Oates (an elections old hand) as CEO, this previous autoparts business-now elections services corporation Tyler started dumping this elections segment of its holdings in December 2000. Oates left then. I've lost my notes on the stock sales, but I was following some records of insider trading. C.A. Rundell, CEO of Cronus and a director of Tyler, dumped 65,000 shares of Tyler stock in December 2000, for example. The corporation that went from an auto parts business to elections services and installed a CEO with elections experience began to sell all that elections stuff in December 2000.

Oates became the CEO of another new firm that specializes in data collection for government entities; other directors of that company have Cronus and Tyler ties, and all began at Eastman Kodak, which dabbled in election services until scared off by fraud litigations in the 1980s. Fred Meyer became the CEO of Aladdin, a company he served for many years earlier in his career.

Is there a story here? Some questions beg to be answered. Why did Fred Meyer leave Tyler in 1997? Did he remain a de facto force? Was Oates hand-picked by Meyer?

Here's the possibility: Was Tyler Company/Corporation used as a front in order to gather physical control of a vast segment of election services through the 2000 election? Did Fred Meyer step aside (at least in name) as CEO because he was too close to the Bushes and the Bush campaign?

I have no background in mergers, acquisitions, the corporate world or the stock market. Some of these corporations have changed names, been bought out, bought up, stopped and re-started, merged, etc. There probably are a lot of ways to track more information that I'm just not familiar with. It is true that things are not always what they seem (skim milk masquerades as cream) but the trail begs following. The implications are staggering, if the story pans out.

Comments are welcome.

1. Wow! A very interesting find, but hard to see connections

with the big names, ES&S, Diebold, Hart, etc.

Are there some connections there? Or is this like a supporting layer to provide cover or support?

It's hard for me to get a handle on it all. If it's nefarious and is connected somehow with the theft of democracy that has occurred, then Karl Rove is probably in on it somewhere.

Anyway, thx for the thread. Hope somebody has some other connections to add.
