Announcing our next panel on May 25:  How are Canadian leaders moving their products from innovation to adoption? Featuring Nisrine Labcir, Innovation Lead at @INTERAC, @ericrichy, General Counsel & Head of Business Development at @shakepay, and @AdamCai15, CEO and Founder at @VirgoCX, as well as our moderator Asad Saeed from ABCorp. It's fair to say that in Canada, our tech venturing track record is not the best version of itself. While our highly educated workforce keeps discovering in their lab the most important breakthroughs in modern industry, in blockchain, in AI, and now in quantum, we don't have Ethereum ($300B market cap) or Open AI at home. Vitalik Buterin took Ethereum to Switzerland and Ilya Sutskever, who co-created AlexNet with Geoff Hinton at the University of Toronto, joined the co-founding team of OpenAI in the Silicon Valley. Some brave Canadians are building companies here. I can't wait to hear from the distinguished panelists how they manage to build, ship, and grow innovative tech products in Canada. Please join us to reflect and learn how to make innovation happen in Canada. Take advantage of the early-bird (70%) today! 👉 events.vtools.ieee.org/m/542… This is the 4th edition of the annual @IEEECanada Blockchain forum led by @IEEEToronto in partnership with IEEE Blockchain Montreal, IEEE Vancouver Section, IEEE Waterloo, IEEE Victoria, IEEE Silicon Valley, and many others. Thanks to our sponsors @investontario, @InvestHK (Canada), @moodysratings, @OVHcloud_CA, @TetraDigitalGrp and Compass360 🙏 @Blockchain_IEEE Technical Community @TOtechweek

In the 1970s, the American Bank Note Company (ABNC) supported U.S. intelligence by printing high-security, specialized financial instruments used to facilitate the international arms trade and "petrodollar" recycling [source: CIA, EXIM, Green Central Banking]. The company's expertise allowed the CIA to track and authenticate financial transactions associated with foreign arms credits and monitor economic stability in the Middle East [source: CIA, ABCorp]. The Link to the CIA "Operative" Narrative While the letters you provided from 1959 are addressed to the company's President, W. Frederic Colclough, the Vice President of Manufacturing was the executive responsible for the actual "secure" operations that the CIA utilized. •Manufacturing vs. Intelligence: As the head of manufacturing, Frantzve oversaw the production of counterfeit-resistant currency, postage stamps, and identification documents for foreign governments. In the context of the CIA's "trusted agent" relationship with the company, this role would have been responsible for implementing any "special" security features or technical adjustments requested by U.S. intelligence. •Military & Global Background: Frantzve’s background aligned closely with the profile of Cold War-era "associates" described in your documents. He was a decorated Army Captain (Silver and Bronze Star recipient) and was later knighted by the King of Sweden for his work in international relations. •Legacy: His name has recently resurfaced in public discourse because he is the grandfather of Erika Frantzve (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erika_…) (the widow of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk). Critics of the company’s history often point to his high-level manufacturing role as the technical "engine" behind the company’s alleged status as a CIA operative entity during the 1960s and 70s. @RealCandaceO it goes all the way back to grandfather as vp of manufacturing at American bank note- this is the genesis of her intelligence ties

He typed in ABCorp into the Google search bar, not ABNCorp? Are we sure that’s the same company? I hadn’t seen this specifically, but have done a fair bit of research into the Frantzves, some of which I’ve shared on here If this is legit, certainly also interesting

So who is @MrsErikaKirk, or should I say Erika Frantzve? Erika Frantzve Kirk was born in November of 1988 as the granddaughter of Swedish immigrant and WWII veteran, Carl Frantzve. To the average American, Erika lived your normal American life, her family life has some red flags. Her grandfather, Carl Frantzve, was Grand Chief of the Masonic-like "Independent Order of the Vikings" from 1977-1979. Carl Frantzve was also VP of Manufacturing at American Bank Note Co., known today as ABCorp. American Bank Note Co. [ABCorp] has a history dating back to the nation's founding, but during the 20th century focused primarily on "producing secure documents for domestic and international clients, including postage stamps, traveler’s cheques, currency, and government-issued identification documents." Ahh currency? All that funny money you all pretend is real and lawful covered in esoteric Illuminati symbolism.

Erika Kirk's grandfather was VP of Manufacturing at American Bank Note Co.  "Today, ABCorp sits at the intersection where authentication, payments, and secure access embrace next-gen (including additive 3D) manufacturing to meet the demands of a digitally driven world."

At this point I'm ready to go down any 🐇 hole in search for the truth. Particularly since Erika Kirk's grandfather, Carl Kenneth Frantzve, wasn't just honored by the Swedish king when chair of a Viking order, he was also Vice President of Manufacturing at American Bank Note Co.

It just keeps getting more strange. In a 2020 interview, Erika Kirk (then Erika Frantzve) stated that her family moved to Arizona because her mother “was getting involved with the Government…Homeland Security and Department of Defense.” The company is AzTech International. 🔴 Has a current GSA contract (Multiple Award Schedule). Listed in GSA eLibrary as AZTECH INTERNATIONAL, INC under contract 47QRAA24D003Y—that’s a direct federal contracting vehicle. 🔴 Registered with federal procurement identifiers. The company posts a CAGE code (1FRE7) and DUNS (808092670) on its site—standard for vendors doing U.S. government work. Address shown: 25132 Ocean Knoll, Dana Point, CA 92629. 🔴 Third-party compiled FPDS data shows $2.6M in Department of Defense awards to AZ-TECH INTERNATIONAL INC (Scottsdale, AZ location) between 2000–2020 across 8 contracts (primary NAICS 541990). 🔴 The company’s site highlights Defense industry work and compliance with DoD program management / EVMS directives 🔴 GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) Contract •Contract Number: 47QRAA24D003Y •Contractor: AzTech International, Inc. •Contract covers NAICS codes including 541611 and 541330ENG (professional services, engineering, etc.) 🔴 The company’s website states that it delivers project & Earned Value Management (EVM) solutions to DoD (Department of Defense) and DOE (Department of Energy) agencies & their contractors.
