Smartech has millions in government contracts. Cunningham Part Duke?

:wow:

They have contracts for the Department of Energy, the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Department of Defense and the Department of the Navy.

OK, so let's review:

The company that provides the RNC with secret e-mail accounts (and hosts their votervault) has a contracts with the government for millions of dollars. This company also has registered tons and tons of dirty tricks web addresses, as well as a significant number of right-wing organizations, including PACs, and even FrontPage Magazine.

I don't know about you all, but that just doesn't smell right.

1. Gotta nice chart for all this?

The Frontpagemag thing is Horowitz. Interesting the connections.

3. OK, you got me interested in the puzzle

Something I found while looking at the link you provided.

SmarTech is the parent company of SYSTEM MGMT & RES TECH CORP if you check out some of the data pertaining to Contractor Characteristics (Award)

on some of the contracts it looks like this:
Small Disadvantaged Business No
Black American Owned Business No

Now on some of the contracts the answer is NO, however from contract 4-5 indicates the answers as YES.

Why do you think that is?!?

Also did some more research on Jeffrey Scot Averbeck @ SmarTech. One of the interesting details was how much money he has donated to the RNC.

On April 1, 2004 he made two checks out to the RNC for $250 each. Then on April 22, 2004 he gave another $2000.
Apparently Smartech received the contract in March of the same year to be the Sights and Sounds of the RNC convention.

4. Yes, but that's not much money. Actually, I'm sorry...

I don't think this is the same company, even though it has the same exact name. In the high detail report, which is not automatically provided, you find that SMARTECH is an acronym for a much longer name:
SYSTEM MGMT & RES TECH CORP

Plus, it looks like the company did it's services in Maryland, while the SMARTECHCORP we're interested in did it's business in Tennessee.

So after all, and seeing that, this is not the same company, though I hope you'll understand the possible confusion, as it's is listed with the same exact name that SMARTECHCORP uses. :rofl:

I even look up the business records, and those are for a person who is totally different.

5. Well I certainly appreciate the link to help with research, I can tell I'll be using this a lot

I did a search on MZM and I found the Transaction record for decorating Dick's office for $140,000 and in exchange Randy Duke-Stir Cunningham received his famous yacht the Duke-Stir two weeks later that was purchased for the exact same amount of money.

I did a comic on it, however, when I was checking out the data there is no mention of the EOVP, but uses the EOP. I don't know if that means anything or not, I just found it interesting.
