InfoWars has shared an interview from the Pete Santilli Show with guest and Montana investigative journalist Christopher Kortlander where he reveals that his high-level government informant who explained to him that there is CCP malware installed on devices that U.S. troops are using, allowing them to be tracked in real time.

Western Montana News has been working on this breaking story, and the information from it is being passed on to Montana’s state legislators.

Western Montana News revealed that a company called Konnech has created several different election software solutions–one of them a product called PollChief. According to the LA County District Attorney, poll worker personal identification information from PollChief was found on servers in China. Konnech also created software called ABVote, which is an online voting portal for military and overseas citizens. Montana uses this system and calls it the Montana Electronic Absentee System (EAS). Konnech’s software was created through a grant from the Department of Defense in 2010. Konnech’s CEO is Eugene Yu, who was recently arrested by LA District Attorney for conspiracy to commit a crime and embezzlement of public funds.

Gizmodo reports that, “Konnech, which is based in Michigan and has about 20 employees, signed a contract with LA County in 2019 to provide the municipality with some election staffing, scheduling, and management services through its PollChief software. As a part of that contract, the company agreed that only “staff who are based in the United States and are citizens or lawful permanent residents of the United States shall have access to any County data, including personally identifiable information.” But, in violation of that contract clause, some information about poll workers was sent to third-party contractors based in China, who were helping to troubleshoot and develop PollChief, according to the prosecutor’s filing. The document cites internal company communications obtained via search warrant earlier in October.”

Researchers are currently doing a “deep dive” on Votem, which has connections to Konnech. In the interview, WMN Publisher Roy McKenzie makes sure to highlight that Votem is a significant element of the story as all of this unfolds.

Kortlander revealed that overseas military service members vote though software that has a connection back to Konnech, and that their personal identification information may become vulnerable including service members name, date of birth, county, and login credentials. Also, Kortlander said that IP information captured while using the system could be vulnerable and could open service members up to a reverse IP lookup to reveal their geographic location while deployed.

Kortlander also revealed that Konnech has a Chinese version of its electronic election software that is tied to the CCP. Western Montana News found out about this through a Weibo post. Kortlander reveals that since software developed by the same company often shares the same code base, such as in the case of ABVote and PollChief, there is most likely overseas service member data in China. Konnech has also created software for schools, and other industries throughout the U.S. and Canada, so this is an unfolding story with a lot of elements to it, and it will be interesting to see how things unfold in the coming weeks.

“This has been in use for a long time,” said Kortlander, showing the Montana EAS webpage from 2014, using the Wayback Machine. Kortlander also explains that any time the software is introduced, even if it was in the past and is no longer used, it opens up the entire connected system to vulnerabilities including the potentiality of having data sent to China.

The Texas Tribune is reporting on a group called True The Vote, which has called out Konnech, as well. The Texas Tribune reports that, “In podcasts and elsewhere, True the Vote has repeatedly claimed that it directed “analysts” to hack Konnech’s servers, which the group claims were in China and thus proof of the company’s work on behalf of the Chinese Communist Party. After Konnech sued True The Vote last month for defamation, Hoyt ordered True the Vote to turn over any Konnech data the organization still had and disclose the name of the individual who’d helped them obtain it.”

While Konnech CEO Eugene Yu has been taken into custody by LA County for what True The Vote revealed about the company, Catherine Engelbrecht and Gregg Phillips, the two main figureheads of True The Vote, were jailed by a federal judge last week in the continuing defamation trial for not revealing the name of the individual that helped them disclose the data.
