Our Alliance of people and organizations has observed public officials
and Silicon Valley tech companies operating criminal enterprises.
We thus campaigned for the creation of Congressional investigations,
FBI special task forces, GAO investigation reports, Inspector General
investigations, The appointment of a Special Counsel, the creation of
the FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION BUREAU OF COMPETITION TECH TASK FORCE,
European Union investigations under M. Vestager, INTERPOL reports, Grand
Jury hearings and other ongoing counter-measures.
Silicon Valley bought K Street and U.S. Senators, gave them more Dark
Money than history has ever seen and then had giant tech-law firms
bribe, hit-job and blockade any attempts to solve the problem. The
K-Street Lobbyists, the technology law firms and the Palo Alto Sand Hill
Road venture capitalists should be shut-down and indicted.
----------------------------------------
IN ONE OF THE CORE CASES...
"... since the 1970's, FBI/GAO Witness-A365 has been a U.S. Patent
Office awarded Silicon Valley inventor of seminal first-ever
inventions, now in use by billions of people globally, and a program
director of national projects. FBI/GAO Witness-A365 has been awarded
federal commendations, state and federal innovation grants,
government R&D contracts, White House commendations by The Vice
President, Mayoral proclamations, industry innovation awards, issued
patents, and recognition in thousands of news articles and news
broadcasts. FBI/GAO Witness-A365 is affiliated with no political
party.
Silicon Valley is run by a group of men known as "The PayPal Mafia"
AKA "The Silicon Valley Mafia". They are a group of wealthy ivy
league frat boys who have been charged with numerous rapes,
sextortions, tax fraud, political bribery, college admissions
bribery, sex trafficking, and stock market manipulation by various
federal agencies and ex-employees. This group came to see FBI/GAO
Witness-A365 multiple times and sought to examine FBI/GAO
Witness-A365's technology under the guise of pretending to "want to
invest in FBI/GAO Witness-A365". They, instead, copied his patented
technologies and later formed duplicate companies to those of
FBI/GAO Witness-A365.
They have, as of today, made over $100 Billion+ (Per SEC filings),
from technologies the U.S. Patent office says that FBI/GAO
Witness-A365 first invented and deployed. Each time FBI/GAO
Witness-A365 tries to sue them for his intellectual property rights
and owed licensing fees, they spend ten times more and hire ten
times more lawyers and stall his cases out. They hire attack
bloggers to attack FBI/GAO Witness-A365, on social media, to try to
character assassinate his brand. It costs over $3 Million+ to sue
each one of the "Paypal Mafia" members and their companies (Google,
Facebook, Tesla, etc).
FBI/GAO Witness-A365 has billions of dollars in proven damages but
has yet to be allowed to get into a court-room in an actual unbiased
jury trial. The Palo Alto Cartel will do anything to keep him out of
a jury room because they will lose, dramatically, in an
equally-resourced jury hearing. They got over 400 of their members
hired by the White House (As revealed in the INTERCEPT articles
about Google and The White House) and they have the lobby-clout to
control parts of the U.S. Government for corrupt purposes.
Most high tech law firms have been told by the Cartel that they will
be "black-listed" just like the Paypal Mafia was caught doing in the
"AngelGate Scandal" and the "Silicon Valley No-Poaching Class Action
Lawsuit"; (both of which can be easily researched online) if any
tech law firm's take FBI/GAO Witness-A365's cases. These cases,
along with the recent Stanford University Admissions Bribery
Scandals and the Panama Papers, Stratfor Leaks, Wiki-leaks and Swiss
Leaks prove the depths of criminality that these people are willing
to engage in.
From 2006, forward the "PayPal Mafia" Cartel spent more money than
any group had ever spent in history to hire most of the lobbyists in
politics and to pay bribes to hundreds of elected officials and
agency staff in order to get things their way in public policy
decisions and to seek to monopolize the digital communications
world. They seek to control all alternative energy and digital media
programs. The PayPal Mafia bribes U.S. Senators, Agency Heads and
Congress using these methods which include: 1.) Billions of dollars
of Google, Twitter, Facebook, Tesla, Netflix and Sony Pictures stock
and stock warrants which is never reported to the FEC, 2.) Billions
of dollars of Google, Twitter, Facebook, Tesla, Netflix and Sony
Pictures search engine rigging including shadow-banning,
de-boosting, DNS re-routing, directed search suggestion, subliminal
messaging bias, and hundreds of other psychological manipulation
tricks; the value of which is never reported to the FEC but proven
by invoices and bank payments between Google and Gawker, Gizmodo,
DNC, Fusion GPS, Black Cube, etc., 3.) Free rent for public
officials, 4.) The providing of prostitutes and rent boys, 5.) Cars,
6.) Dinners, 7.) Party Financing, 8.) Sports Event Tickets, 9.)
Campaign Services "Donations", 10.) Secret PAC Financing, 11.) Jobs
in Corporations in Silicon Valley For The Family Members of Those
Who Take Bribes And Those Who Take Bribes, Themselves, 12.)
"Consulting" contracts from McKinsey as fronted pay-off gigs, 13.)
Overpriced "Speaking engagements" which are really just pay-offs
conduited for donors, 14.) Private jet rides and use of Government
fuel depots (ie: Google handed out NASA jet fuel to staff), 15.)
Real Estate, 16.) The use of Cayman, Boca Des Tores, Swiss and
related laundering accounts, 17.) The use of HSBC, Wells Fargo and
Deustche Bank money laundering accounts, 18.) Free spam and bulk
mailing services owned by corporations, 19.) Use of high tech law
firms such as Perkins Coie, Wilson Sonsini, MoFo, Covington &
Burling, etc. to conduit bribes to officials and to block victims
from getting to court; and other bribes...
The FBI, The SEC, The OSC, The GAO, The FEC and all other agencies
are fully aware of this, yet they have no management will to make
the arrests of the "famous" people involved. FBI/GAO Witness-A365
has never cooperated with bribes and corruption and the PayPal Mafia
hates him because: 1.) he is the original inventor some of their
core technologies, 2.) A anti-corruption entity, 3. A federal
witness against the PayPal Mafia.
At one point FBI/GAO Witness-A365 won a Congressional commendation
and a federal grant, in the Iraq War Bill, ordering the U.S.
Department of Energy to hire FBI/GAO Witness-A365 and his team to
build America's alternative energy "back-up plan". FBI/GAO
Witness-A365 has been working with U.S. Energy programs since 2000.
The "PayPal Mafia" believes that it controls U.S. domestic
alternative energy industries and that FBI/GAO Witness-A365 was an
"outsider" non-Frat boy who dared to operate on their turf.
In a later stage of the Energy Department project, The federal
government asked FBI/GAO Witness-A365 to invest with them in
building a car factory. In the course of that effort, FBI/GAO
Witness-A365 and his Team witnessed a crime being committed by
Energy Department officials and reported that fact to a U.S. Senate
Committee and the U.S. Attorney General. FBI/GAO Witness-A365 spent
his life savings at government request and years of his life only to
later find that he, and his team had been defrauded and that money's
that his project had been had secretly been promised to PayPal Mafia
members including Elon Musk, Eric Schmidt and Reid Hoffman.
Members of Congress encouraged FBI/GAO Witness-A365, and his team,
to sue the Government under a novel new kind of litigation process.
FBI/GAO Witness-A365 agreed to do so. These actions resulted in the
termination of very famous public officials and their crony criminal
embezzlement scams and almost resulted in the President being forced
to leave office, mid-term, based on revelations of a massive crony
kick-back scheme which began to be exposed after the FBI raid of
Solyndra. The director of the FBI was fired for assisting in
cover-ups related to this matter. (FYI: "Paranoia" is defined as
"unfounded fears of harm". "Caution" is defined as "security
measures based on previous threats and attacks")
FBI/GAO Witness-A365 was exposed to severe cellular-level toxic
poisoning via: micro-particulated nano-powdered radioactive tritium
batteries, cesium, uranium, plutonium, transuranic waste,
beta-voltaic batteries, high frequency-high voltage EMF, heavy
metal, solvent and lead compounds in government energy and weapons
labs exposures from decades of work with U.S. Department of Energy
programs and projects as contractor/partner/Congressional awardee.
The affliction is blood poisoning at a cellular level. In reprisal
for reporting the crimes, FBI/GAO Witness-A365 has been subjected to
benefits blockades, hacking, internet server re-direction, web
search shadow-banning, blacklisting and other retribution/vendetta
actions by public officials.
This natural-born American domestic group of engineers was attacked
with a $30 million dollar+ retribution/political reprisal program
contracted by White House political operatives, and their
appointees, who were also the business competitors of the engineers.
The attackers hired Fusion GPS-type character assassination smear
campaigns (operated by their cronies at Google, Gawker, Gizmodo,
Jalopnik and Facebook), NVCA black-listing, Solyndra-laundering,
stone-walling, Lois Lerner-class agency manipulation and search
engine rigging. In-Q-Tel turns out to be the only federally financed
"charity" whose staff are also employed by each of the suspects in
this case and who financed the suspects in this case. It was
revealed that White House executives ordered government agencies to
harm members of the public and to reprisal with-hold public
resources from the public. This was a violation of tort, RICO and
anti-trust laws.
The victims, including FBI/GAO Witness-A365, fought back using 100%
legal methods, including many of those methods that were used to
attack the FBI/GAO Witness-A365s/victims (If they are not illegal
for the attackers to use, then they must not be illegal for the
victims to use to seek justice)
With an idea suggested to the victims by the members of Congress the
victims, essentially; helped the United States government sue
itself! With encouragement from Congress, the FBI/GAO Witness-A365's
undertook a multi-million dollar, decade-long, epic series of
anti-corruption lawsuits, financed by public-interest law-firms.
First, with a unique new kind of pioneering federal lawsuit, victims
established — FOR THE FIRST TIME IN LEGAL HISTORY — that political
cronyism is a valid basis for a claim of arbitrary-and-capricious
agency action under the Administrative Procedure Act. See: Federal
Case One, (D.D.C. 2015). The victims created new federal law around
this.
Second, they prevailed in the United States Court of Appeals for the
District of Columbia Circuit on their appeal of the district court’s
ruling that an agency may escape judicial review of its action by
requesting a voluntary remand but refusing to reconsider its initial
denial of an application. See: Case Federal Two, (D.C. Cir. 2017).
The Washington DC Circuit agreed with the victims that an agency may
only seek a remand if it promises to reconsider its initial
decision. It is because of that victory that the government, under
court order is now re-doing the victims applications and GAO, FBI,
IG's and Congressional oversight offices are watching to assure
effective ethics and transparency.
Third, these cases placed, on permanent public record, one of the
most detailed documentation sets, ever assembled, about how modern
political "Dark Money" conduits operate. The legal team hired
ex-FBI, CIA and SEC experts to track down covert bank accounts,
revolving door bribes, insider stock trades and other payola between
the victim's competitors and public officials. This documentation
now prevents the use of those kinds of criminal efforts, in the
future, by exposing their tactics to the public.
Fourth, the victim's team engaged in the interdiction and
termination of corrupt agency executives, contractors and their
financiers. This included some of the most well-known names in
Washington, DC, at the time. Many of them were, and are still being,
investigated and surveilled by the FBI, GAO, SEC and Congress. In
the course of this case, victims campaigned for the new law called
THE AMERICAN JOBS ACT which created the first SEC approval of legal
"Crowd-Funding", which allowed start-ups to get funding without
going through the Palo Alto "Vulture Capitalists".
Fifth, and most important, the effort put every corrupt political
scheme on notice that they WILL be found out and interdicted! The
bottom line?
The victims group WON on every single aspect of their
public-interest litigation goals EXCEPT they STILL have yet to be
recompensed for their damages!
IMAGINE LIVING IN A WORLD WHERE ALMOST EVERY ONE OF THE PUBLIC
OFFICIALS THAT WERE SUPPOSED TO HELP YOU TURNED OUT TO BE YOUR
BUSINESS COMPETITORS. IMAGINE HAVING THEM USE GOVERNMENT RESOURCES
TO PROFIT AT YOUR EXPENSE, BLOCKADE YOU AND TREAT DEMOCRACY LIKE A
GARAGE SALE! THIS IS THAT STORY!
This is about a group of U.S. Senators, Silicon Valley Oligarchs,
Crooked Law Firms and Lobbyists who commit crimes in order to
manipulate over a trillion State and federal tax dollars into their,
and their friends pockets. They use media monopoly tricks to try to
shut out any other viewpoints. They push issues that they believe
will get more tax money allocated to "issue solutions" that they,
and their friends, happen to already own the business monopolies
for. They are felons yet they control some of the offices of the
agencies who are supposed to arrest them. Silicon Valley bought K
Street lobby firms and U.S. Senators, gave them more Dark Money than
history has ever seen and then had giant tech-law firms bribe,
hit-job and blockade any attempts to arrest them.

The folders above are a small percentage of the available evidence.
These files are updated hourly by the public, whistle-blowers,
journalists and forensic investigators. A 2TB+ set of data DVD copies is
available by mail or on torrents.
There are no "conspiracy theories" here. These are all hard forensic
facts that will stand-up in any court!
We are working with Congress, the FBI, The GAO and others regarding
the fact that White House staff ordered federal agencies, and state
agencies financed by federal funds; to stone-wall, delay, manipulate,
defer, obfuscate and reprisal-negate applications and funding requests
as political retribution.
They did this to anybody who they thought might expose the White House
use of agencies as "slush-funds" and "Dark Money" campaign finance
laundering conduits. They were afraid that exposure of these schemes
would cause the President of the United States to be forced to resign in
the middle of his term!

and then simply scroll down, or use the "Find" or "Find On
This Page" function of your browser to search by terms, or by
word. Every browser has a "Find" feature that is usually a magnifying
glass icon.
These folders provide evidence, signed by thousands of reporters and
investigators, that the suspects are: A.) Based around Silicon Valley
and Washington DC; B.) Operating as a RICO-violating cartel; C.) Deeply
sociopath and sexually disturbed; D.) Money laundering via large law
firms and investment banks; E.) Using Google, Reddit, Facebook, etc. as
mass political behavior-manipulation programs; F.) Paying for and
operating character assassination programs against those who defy them;
G.) Using "green energy" as one of their facades to steer tax dollars to
the companies that they, and their friends, already own and work for;
H.) Willing to resort to the most extreme things to protect their
scheme; I). Living in an ideological "echo-chamber" in their tech
bubbles; J.) Empowered entirely by the public's lack of willingness to
boycott them and demand their arrests.
A vast number of individuals and companies, who are willing to testify
about these crimes have never been allowed into a Congressional hearing,
court-room, FBI 302 interview, etc., because crooked Senators are
terrified of the confirming testimony they can all provide.
NOTICE REGARDING INTERNET SEARCH MANIPULATION: - We placed
autonomous monitoring applications on a vast number of co-location
servers, shared hosting ISPs, stand-alone servers and sites around the
world over ten years ago and monitored: 1.) Google search results compared
to other search engines, 2.) Google DNS and spoofing activities, 3.)
Google results on 100 key search terms including search terms of assets,
candidates and business associates connected to Google, 4.) Where Google
sends data from users clicking on Google supplied links, 5.) Where
fabricated mole data that was injected as user data ultimately ended up
later, and other metrics. The results prove that Google abuses the market,
the public, politics and human rights. ELON MUSK BOYFRIENDS: LARRY PAGE,
ERIC SCHMIDT, JARED COHEN AND SERGY BRIN AT GOOGLE AND MARK ZUCKERBERG AT
FACEBOOK ORDER THEIR COMPANY STAFF TO HIDE, DOWN-RANK, HOLE-PUNCH THE NET,
SHADOW-BAN, STOCK MARKET VALUATION MANIPULATE AND EXCLUDE THIS WEBSITE ON
THE INTERNET. WE TRACK EVERY TECHNICAL TRICK THEY USE AND REPORT IT TO
CONGRESS AND ANTI-TRUST AGENCIES. THE MORE THEY DO IT, THE MORE THEY
CREATE EVIDENCE THAT WILL PUT THEM OUT OF BUSINESS!
NOTICE: Regarding The CleanTech Crash: Every single Dept of
Energy executive, and related Senator, owns stock market assets in Tesla,
Fisker, Solyndra, Ener1, etc. so they blockaded and sabotaged every
applicant who competed with their holdings in a RICO-violating, felony
organized crime, using taxpayer funds.
If you are reading this, please demand a public Congressional Special
Counsel investigation!
Many of those character assassinated, sabotaged, black-listed, poisoned
and shadow-banned are still waiting for justice!
WHO IS THE SILICON VALLEY MAFIA?: The Silicon Valley Mafia is The
Sandhill Road Venture Capital frat boy company bosses in Palo Alto, their
National Venture Capital Association (NVCA) partners and the tech
companies (Google, Tesla, Facebook, Amazon, Twitter, Linkedin, etc.) they
control. They are sometimes referred to as The Deep State. They have
purchased California, New York and Washington, DC politicians (mostly
Senators) who they also control.
They hire rogue ex-intelligence agents to operate attacks via Fusion
GPS, The Gawker/Gizmodo/Jalopnik/Univision Hatchet-Job Fake
Tabloid Facade (ie: Obama had White House staff: Robert Gibbs and John
Podesta hire them, in association with Obama financier Elon Musk, to
attack XP Vehicles, Bright Automotive and ZAP Vehicles as retribution in
violation of anti-trust laws), Black Cube, ShareBlue, New America,
In-Q-Tel, Podesta Group, Media Matters, etc. . They spend over
$30M on each massive media attack program against competitors, reporters
and outsiders.
They collude on black-lists, valuation controls, election manipulation,
search engine rigging, domestic spying for political manipulation, stock
rigging, insider trading, executive prostitute clubs, trophy wife
assignments, the bribery of politicians and worse. They are felons who pay
politicians to halt investigations and interdiction efforts. They are
widely covered in news media articles as: sex abusers, cult enthusiasts,
elitists, rapists, woman beaters, sexual work extortion operators,
extremists, arrogant clones of each other, tone deaf, echo-chamber
reinforcing, misogynist, racist, manipulative, insecure, covertly gay,
corrupt, thieves' and other anti-social revelations.
The divorce and sex abuse court filings against the #PaloAltoMafia men of
Silicon Valley are some of the most disturbing and sexually twisted court
records you will ever read and they demonstrate a clear and decades-long
pattern of collusion and depravity. From Google's "Sex Slaves" to "Sex
Penthouses" to "Deaths by Prostitute"; the list is endless.
They are not limited to California and also operate out of New York and
Washington DC. They use their monopolistic control of the internet to
massively and exclusively scale services that only they control and use to
abuse public privacy, human rights, invention rights and information. They
run their cartel like the old Italian Mafia once did.
Network Scaled Monopolies
- A crime with hookers and a very big
shark
There are millions of sharks in the ocean
but only "Jaws" was big enough to earn himself (The Shark) so many
feature films about trying to kill him. It was simply because he was so
big and so hungry. Judging by the endless sequels, Jaws seems pretty
hard to kill.
This is about the biggest sharks. They are
from Silicon Valley.
Google, Facebook, Amazon, Linkedin,
Netflix, et al; exist because they operate under the criminal umbrella
of the tech Cartel frat boys.
These guys are addicted to sex, and they
are also huge assholes, so they can't keep any partners around unless
they pay them to be trophy wives or "beard" wives. Buying sex from
Italian escorts, young girls and New York Rent Boys is really, really
expensive. This drives them to do anything to suck up huge amounts of
cash.
These guys are also addicted to power, so
they buy East and West Coast U.S. Senators, British Parliament members
and partner with corrupt Russian oligarchs. Buying Senators is also
really, really expensive. This also drives them to do anything to suck
up huge amounts of cash.
These guys need, and spend, massive amounts
of cash. Being a tech oligarch is really, really expensive. They can't
have the IRS cutting into their hooker-budgets. They spend massive
amounts on big law firms to hide money in real estate, trusts, fake
charities and in a huge array of off-shore spider holes.
These guys can't afford to get caught so
they hire In-Q-Tel, Gawker Media, Black Cube, Fusion-GPS, and a huge
army of other attackers, to destroy anybody who questions their motives.
Their Cartel exists because they own all of
the main servers, banks, venture capital firms, tech law firms, K Street
lobbyists and tech HR firms.
They control their entire eco-system and
black-list anybody that offends them.
They own the internet and they delete
anybody who steps in their circle.
Nobody can operate outside of it.
No start-up can compete with them without
getting a hit-job put on it.
Since the year 2000, together, they have
put over a million smaller companies out of business.
They exist because of "Scaling": the
ability to use monopolized networks to reach everyone on Earth, have
lower prices, and destroy all competition because they control all
infrastructure. Scaling is all they talk about at their
AngelGate "power lunches" in the back rooms of Restaurants on University
Avenue in Palo Alto.
The FBI can't stop them because they owned
James Comey, the head of the FBI.
The SEC, FEC and FTC can't stop them
because they own the regulators at those agencies.
They Obama White House could not stop them
because most of the Obama Administration was staffed by, and directed
by, the staff of Google, Amazon and Facebook, et al.
The Silicon Valley tech Cartel makes the
Mafia look like small potatoes.
They are a criminal organization!

Dear Mr. Simons:
Our Alliance of taxpayers and community interest groups applauds
your mandate to bring sharper focus to antitrust issues in the tech
world. We have pushed hard to get this task-force to fruition and we
are excited about it’s potential
We look forward to more innovative approaches in pursuing possible
antitrust cases in the Silicon Valley sector.
Public activist groups have expressed their desire to ensure that
FTC investigations are as tough as possible and that the "Task
Force" does not become just another taxpayer pacification “9/11
Commission”-type PR shill facade mitigation move.
We are informed by lawyers from Mofo, Wilson Sonsini, Covington,
Perkins and other tech law firms that Google, Facebook and their
associates have already allocated over “...one billion dollars per
FTC lawyer” in your new task-force to defer, deflect, delay and
influence the outcome.
Is your task-forced funded and focused to properly take on an
organization willing and able to spend “one billion dollars” EACH to
buy, delay and obfuscate each of your lawyers and investigators on
the task-force?
This Federal Trade Commission task force could emerge as a powerful
brake on the nation’s internet giants. As the Wall Street Journal
has reported:
“The Silicon Valley powerhouses have grown through acquisitions and
federal regulators have come under fire for failing to rein in what
most of the public see as anti-competitive effects from deals such
as Facebook Inc.’s acquisition of WhatsApp and Instagram.
“We’re thrilled the FTC is engaged,” said Robert Engel, chief
spokesman for the Free and Fair Markets Initiative, an activist
group that has targeted Amazon.com Inc. for what it views as
monopolistic behavior. FTC officials “have a real opportunity,
particularly if they focus on the main offenders.”
Legal experts said the FTC move suggests the agency could be open to
more innovative approaches in pursuing possible antitrust cases in
the sector. To an extent, oversight of the sector has been hindered
by antitrust rules and enforcement policies designed for an
industrial economy.
“My view is the agency is more open to that now than at any time” in
recent years, said Kevin Arquit, a former director of the FTC
competition bureau who’s now at Kasowitz Benson Torres. “What this
really does is challenge, are those assumptions true?”
Mr. Arquit said some of the agency’s openness to new antitrust
solutions on tech issues was likely due to the wide diversity of
views among the new commissioners on the five-member FTC, as well as
the GOP chairman, Joseph Simons, who he said had “strong views but a
real willingness to consider new ideas.”
An agency spokesman said that “right now, there is no specific plan
to consider or reconsider rules or guidelines as they relate to the
technology sector.” The spokesman added that if the agency were to
consider changes related to competition rules in the technology
sector, “the task force certainly would be consulted, but that is
not why the task force was created.”
Others said the creation of the task force underscored the agency’s
increasing institutional recognition of competition problems in the
sector.
Still, some FTC critics questioned how aggressive the agency would
be, particularly given what they view as its lackluster enforcement
record in recent years.
Ed Black, president of the Computer and Communications Industry
Association, said his group welcomed the creation of the group,
hoping it would lead to better understanding of technology-market
dynamics. “We look forward to working with the task force to ensure
the best outcomes for consumers,” he said.
Some tech advocates contend that cracking down on the tech sector
could backfire for consumers as well as the economy, stifling
innovation and growth.
The FTC’s action comes as some consumer advocates—as well as some
politicians, particularly on the left—have begun urging breakups of
some of the big tech companies, including Facebook.
Marc Rotenberg, president of the Electronic Privacy Information
Center, said his group was glad to see the FTC’s announcement, but
added that the task force “is no substitute for meaningful
enforcement.” His group is among a number of activist organizations
that have urged the FTC to require breakup of Facebook in response
to its privacy missteps.
The Open Markets Institute, a group that aims to expose monopolistic
practices, called on the agency to “do its job” and enforce
antitrust laws against the dominant platforms—Facebook, Google and
Amazon. It decried what it termed the agency’s practice of “slapping
these companies on the wrist with fines that ultimately do not
change their behavior.”
Mr. Engel’s group, the Free and Fair Markets Initiative initiative,
whose backers include labor and minority groups, is seeking to bring
scrutiny to Amazon’s use of its own private-label products that
compete with outside vendors on the site...”
The problem here cannot be addressed as a piece meal issue.
You are dealing with an organized criminal cartel that is every bit
as coordinated as ISIS, The Mafia, A drug cartel or any other large
mob.
Simply looking at a “shadow-banning” or “Deboosting” code from a
Facebook or Google back-server has little effect for FTC’s total,
and badly needed, regulation in this matter.
The problem under FTC’s mandate and under the rules of law for FTC
to engage involves not the server room in Mountain View, California.
The problem and the crimes center on Sandhill Road in Palo Alto,
California. The “AngelGate Scandal” collusion documents and
recordings, The “Quail Road” collusion documents and recordings, the
“High Tech No-Poaching
Class Action Lawsuit” collusion documents and recordings and
the attached materials prove the RICO violating Cartel assertions
beyond any doubt. Their near ownership of K-Street lobbyist groups
and their contracts with EVERY single technology law firm should
make you VERY, VERY concerned!
We have been inside these companies. We know the founders and
executives. We were there before, and during, the formation of these
companies. We know why they are REALLY doing what they are doing to
the taxpayers! Their intent is criminal.
Google and Facebook get quite a bit of transparency avoidance
because they imply, themselves, that they are ‘secretly The CIA and
The NSA’. In fact, it is widely documented that the CIA and the NSA
buy data from these companies and fund their tech projects.
In fact Google, Facebook and their Cartel are NOT the CIA or the
NSA. They simply ‘whisper-campaign’ this idea to reporters and
employees who seem to be a threat. The bare fact of this trick is
that Google and Facebook executives want reporters, Congress-people
and the public to think that “The CIA or the NSA will secretly kill
you if you start looking too close at Google or Facebook”.
Eric Schmidt, Larry Page, Mark Zuckerberg, Steve Jurvetson, Elon
Musk, Jared Cohen and David Drummond are the people that promote
this BS in order to prevent deep investigations of Facebook and
Google!
All of the Silicon Valley Companies under investigation by the FTC
Task-Force have hired staff from a “non-profit charity” called
In-Q-Tel. In-Q-Tel purports to be the “venture capital arm of the
CIA”. In fact In-Q-tel is a Democrat-controlled contracting service
created by a Silicon Valley game developer: Gilman Louie and James
Breyer to cross sell Silicon Valley hype to spy agencies. IN-Q-Tel
gave CIA technology, paid for by American taxpayers, to Google and
Facebook to profit from.
They use that technology to control politics in quid-pro-quo stock
market and monopoly manipulation schemes that EXCLUSIVELY benefit
only Facebook and Google insiders on Sand Hill Road.
We hereby present you with internal videos, documents, public
documentary materials and contacts to support these assertions. We
will be releasing a series of already prepared reports to you.
We swear, warrant and certify that this evidence is accurate to the
best of our knowledge."

HOW GOOGLE RIGS ELECTIONS AND CHARACTER ASSASSINATION
ATTACKS AROUND THE GLOBE
BY ROBERT EPSTEIN
Authorities in the UK have finally figured out that fake
news stories and Russian-placed ads are not the real problem. The UK
Parliament is about to impose stiff penalties—not on the people who
place the ads or write the stories, but on the Big Tech platforms that
determine which ads and stories people actually see.
Parliament’s plans will almost surely be energized by the
latest leak of damning material from inside Google’s fortress of secrecy:
The Wall Street Journal recently reported on emails exchanged among Google
employees in January 2017 in which they strategized about how to alter
Google search results and other “ephemeral experiences” to counter
President Donald Trump’s newly imposed travel ban. The company claims that
none of these plans was ever implemented, but who knows?
While U.S. authorities have merely held hearings, EU authorities have
taken dramatic steps in recent years to limit the powers of Big Tech, most
recently with a comprehensive law that protects user privacy—the General
Data Protection Regulation—and a whopping $5.1 billion fine against Google
for monopolistic practices in the mobile device market. Last year, the
European Union also levied a $2.7 billion fine against Google for
filtering and ordering search results in a way that favored their own
products and services. That filtering and ordering, it turns out, is of
crucial importance.
As years of research I’ve been conducting on online influence has shown,
content per se is not the real threat these days; what really matters is
(a) which content is selected for users to see, and (b) the way that
content is ordered in search results, search suggestions, news feeds,
message feeds, comment lists, and so on. That’s where the power lies to
shift opinions, purchases, and votes, and that power is held by a
disturbingly small group of people.
I say “these days” because the explosive growth of a handful of massive
platforms on the internet—the largest, by far, being Google and the next
largest being Facebook—has changed everything. Millions of people and
organizations are constantly trying to get their content in front of our
eyes, but for more than 2.5 billion people around the world—soon to be
more than 4 billion—the responsibility for what algorithms do should
always lie with the people who wrote the algorithms and the companies that
deployed them.
In randomized, controlled, peer-reviewed research I’ve conducted with
thousands of people, I’ve shown repeatedly that when people are undecided,
I can shift their opinions on just about any topic just by changing how I
filter and order the information I show them. I’ve also shown that when,
in multiple searches, I show people more and more information that favors
one candidate, I can shift opinions even farther. Even more disturbing, I
can do these things in ways that are completely invisible to people and in
ways that don’t leave paper trails for authorities to trace.
Worse still, these new forms of influence often rely on ephemeral
content—information that is generated on the fly by an algorithm and then
disappears forever, which means that it would be difficult, if not
impossible, for authorities to reconstruct. If, on Election Day this
coming November, Mark Zuckerberg decides to broadcast go-out-and-vote
reminders mainly to members of one political party, how would we be able
to detect such a manipulation? If we can’t detect it, how would we be able
to reduce its impact? And how, days or weeks later, would we be able to
turn back the clock to see what happened?
Of course, companies like Google and Facebook emphatically reject the idea
that their search and newsfeed algorithms are being tweaked in ways that
could meddle in elections. Doing so would undermine the public’s trust in
their companies, spokespeople have said. They insist that their algorithms
are complicated, constantly changing, and subject to the “organic”
activity of users.
This is, of course, sheer nonsense. Google can adjust its algorithms to
favor any candidate it chooses no matter what the activity of users might
be, just as easily as I do in my experiments. As legal scholar Frank
Pasquale noted in his recent book “The Black Box Society,” blaming
algorithms just doesn’t cut it; the responsibility for what an algorithm
does should always lie with the people who wrote the algorithm and the
companies that deployed the algorithm. Alan Murray, president of Fortune,
recently framed the issue this way: “Rule one in the Age of AI: Humans
remain accountable for decisions, even when made by machines.”
Given that 95 percent of donations from Silicon Valley generally go to
Democrats, it’s hard to imagine that the algorithms of companies like
Facebook and Google don’t favor their favorite candidates. A newly leaked
video of a 2016 meeting at Google shows without doubt that high-ranking
Google executives share a strong political preference, which could easily
be expressed in algorithms. The favoritism might be deliberately
programmed or occur simply because of unconscious bias. Either way, votes
and opinions shift.
It’s also hard to imagine how, in any election in
the world, with or without intention on the part of company employees,
Google search results would fail to tilt toward one candidate. Google’s
search algorithm certainly has no equal-time rule built into it; we
wouldn’t want it to! We want it to tell us what’s best, and the algorithm
will indeed always favor one dog food over another, one music service over
another, and one political candidate over another. When the latter happens
… votes and opinions shift.
Here are 10 ways—seven of which I am actively studying and
quantifying—that Big Tech companies could use to shift millions of votes
this coming November with no one the wiser. Let’s hope, of course, that
these methods are not being used and will never be used, but let’s be
realistic too; there’s generally no limit to what people will do when
money and power are on the line.
1. Search Engine Manipulation Effect (SEME)
Ongoing research I began in January 2013 has shown repeatedly that when
one candidate is favored over another in search results, voting
preferences among undecided voters shift dramatically—by 20 percent or
more overall, and by up to 80 percent in some demographic groups. This is
partly because people place inordinate trust in algorithmically generated
output, thinking, mistakenly, that algorithms are inherently objective and
impartial.
But my research also suggests that we are conditioned to believe in
high-ranking search results in much the same way that rats are conditioned
to press levers in Skinner boxes. Because most searches are for simple
facts (“When was Donald Trump born?”), and because correct answers to
simple questions inevitably turn up in the first position, we are taught,
day after day, that the higher a search result appears in the list, the
more true it must be. When we finally search for information to help us
make a tough decision (“Who’s better for the economy, Trump or Clinton?”),
we tend to believe the information on the web pages to which high-ranking
search results link.
As The Washington Post reported last year, in 2016, I led a team that
developed a system for monitoring the election-related search results
Google, Bing, and Yahoo were showing users in the months leading up to the
presidential election, and I found pro-Clinton bias in all 10 search
positions on the first page of Google’s search results. Google responded,
as usual, that it has “never re-ranked search results on any topic
(including elections) to manipulate political sentiment”—but I never
claimed it did. I found what I found, namely that Google’s search results
favored Hillary Clinton; “re-ranking”—an obtuse term Google seems to have
invented to confuse people—is irrelevant.
Because (a) many elections are very close, (b) 90 percent of online
searches in most countries are conducted on just one search engine
(Google), and (c) internet penetration is high in most countries these
days—higher in many countries than it is in the United States—it is
possible that the outcomes ofupwards of 25 percent of the world’s national
elections are now being determined by Google’s search algorithm, even
without deliberate manipulation on the part of company employees. Because,
as I noted earlier, Google’s search algorithm is not constrained by
equal-time rules, it almost certainly ends up favoring one candidate over
another in most political races, and that shifts opinions and votes.
2. Search Suggestion Effect (SSE)
When Google first introduced autocomplete search suggestions—those short
lists you see when you start to type an item into the Google search bar—it
was supposedly meant to save you some time. Whatever the original
rationale, those suggestions soon turned into a powerful means of
manipulation that Google appears to use aggressively.
My recent research suggests that (a) Google starts to manipulate your
opinions from the very first character you type, and (b) by fiddling with
the suggestions it shows you, Google can turn a 50–50 split among
undecided voters into a 90–10 split with no one knowing. I call this
manipulation the Search Suggestion Effect (SSE), and it is one of the most
powerful behavioral manipulations I have ever seen in my nearly 40 years
as a behavioral scientist.
How will you know whether Google is messing with your election-related
search suggestions in the weeks leading up to the election? You won’t.
3. The Targeted Messaging Effect (TME)
If, on Nov. 8, 2016, Mr. Zuckerberg had sent go-out-and-vote reminders
just to supporters of Mrs. Clinton, that would likely have given her an
additional 450,000 votes. I’ve extrapolated that number from Facebook’s
own published data.
Because Zuckerberg was overconfident in 2016, I don’t believe he sent
those messages, but he is surely not overconfident this time around. In
fact, it’s possible that, at this very moment, Facebook and other
companies are sending out targeted register-to-vote reminders, as well as
targeted go-out-and-vote reminders in primary races. Targeted
go-out-and-vote reminders might also favor one party on Election Day in
November.
My associates and I are building systems to monitor such things, but
because no systems are currently in place, there is no sure way to tell
whether Twitter, Google, and Facebook (or Facebook’s influential offshoot,
Instagram) are currently tilting their messaging. No law or regulation
specifically forbids the practice, and it would be an easy and economical
way to serve company needs. Campaign donations cost money, after all, but
tilting your messaging to favor one candidate is free.
4. Opinion Matching Effect (OME)
In March 2016, and continuing for more than seven months until Election
Day, Tinder’s tens of millions of users could not only swipe to find sex
partners, they could also swipe to find out whether they should vote for
Trump or Clinton. The website iSideWith.com—founded and run by “two
friends” with no obvious qualifications—claims to have helped more than 49
million people match their opinions to the right candidate. Both CNN and
USA Today have run similar services, currently inactive.
I am still studying and quantifying this type of, um, helpful service, but
so far it looks like (a) opinion matching services tend to attract
undecided voters—precisely the kinds of voters who are most vulnerable to
manipulation, and (b) they can easily produce opinion shifts of 30 percent
or more without people’s awareness.
At this writing, iSideWith is already helping people decide who they
should vote for in the 2018 New York U.S. Senate race, the 2018 New York
gubernatorial race, the 2018 race for New York District 10 of the U.S.
House of Representatives, and, believe it or not, the 2020 presidential
race. Keep your eyes open for other matching services as they turn up, and
ask yourself this: Who wrote those algorithms, and how can we know whether
they are biased toward one candidate or party?
5. Answer Bot Effect (ABE)
More and more these days, people don’t want lists of thousands of search
results, they just want the answer, which is being supplied by personal
assistants like Google Home devices, the Google Assistant on Android
devices, Amazon’s Alexa, Apple’s Siri, and Google’s featured
snippets—those answer boxesat the top of Google search results. I call the
opinion shift produced by such mechanisms the Answer Bot Effect (ABE).
My research on Google’s answer boxes shows three things so far: First,
they reduce the time people spend searching for more information. Second,
they reduce the number of times people click on search results. And third,
they appear to shift opinions 10 to 30 percent more than search results
alone do. I don’t yet know exactly how many votes can be shifted by answer
bots, but in a national election in the United States, the number might be
in the low millions.
6. Shadowbanning
Recently, Trump complained that Twitter was preventing conservatives from
reaching many of their followers on that platform through shadowbanning,
the practice of quietly hiding a user’s posts without the user knowing.
The validity of Trump’s specific accusation is arguable, but the fact
remains that any platform on which people have followers or friends can be
rigged in a way to suppress the views and influence of certain individuals
without people knowing the suppression is taking place. Unfortunately,
without aggressive monitoring systems in place, it’s hard to know for sure
when or even whether shadowbanning is occurring.
7. Programmed Virality and the Digital Bandwagon Effect
Big Tech companies would like us to believe that virality on platforms
like YouTube or Instagram is a profoundly mysterious phenomenon, even
while acknowledging that their platforms are populated by tens of millions
of fake accounts that might affect virality.
In fact, there is an obvious situation in which virality is not mysterious
at all, and that is when the tech companies themselves decide to shift
high volumes of traffic in ways that suit their needs. And aren’t they
always doing this? Because Facebook’s algorithms are secret, if an
executive decided to bestow instant Instagram stardom on a pro-Elizabeth
Warren college student, we would have no way of knowing that this was a
deliberate act and no way of countering it.
The same can be said of the virality of YouTube videos and Twitter
campaigns; they are inherently competitive—except when company employees
or executives decide otherwise. Google has an especially powerful and
subtle way of creating instant virality using a technique I’ve dubbed the
Digital Bandwagon Effect. Because the popularity of websites drives them
higher in search results, and because high-ranking search results increase
the popularity of websites (SEME), Google has the ability to engineer a
sudden explosion of interest in a candidate or cause with no one—perhaps
even people at the companies themselves—having the slightest idea they’ve
done so. In 2015, I published a mathematical model showing how neatly this
can work.
8. The Facebook Effect
Because Facebook’s ineptness and dishonesty have squeezed it into a
digital doghouse from which it might never emerge, it gets its own
precinct on my list.
In 2016, I published an article detailing five ways that Facebook could
shift millions of votes without people knowing: biasing its trending box,
biasing its center newsfeed, encouraging people to look for
election-related material in its search bar (which it did that year!),
sending out targeted register-to-vote reminders, and sending out targeted
go-out-and-vote reminders.
I wrote that article before the news stories broke about Facebook’s
improper sharing of user data with multiple researchers and companies, not
to mention the stories about how the company permitted fake news stories
to proliferate on its platform during the critical days just before the
November election—problems the company is now trying hard to mitigate.
With the revelations mounting, on July 26, 2018, Facebook suffered the
largest one-day drop in stock value of any company in history, and now
it’s facing a shareholder lawsuit and multiple fines and investigations in
both the United States and the EU.
Facebook desperately needs new direction, which is why I recently called
for Zuckerberg’s resignation. The company, in my view, could benefit from
the new perspectives that often come with new leadership.
9. Censorship
I am cheating here by labeling one category “censorship,” because
censorship—the selective and biased suppression of information—can be
perpetrated in so many different ways.
Shadowbanning could be considered a type of censorship, for example, and
in 2016, a Facebook whistleblower claimed he had been on a company team
that was systematically removing conservative news stories from Facebook’s
newsfeed. Now, because of Facebook’s carelessness with user data, the
company is openly taking pride in rapidly shutting down accounts that
appear to be Russia-connected—even though company representatives
sometimes acknowledge that they “don’t have all the facts.”
Meanwhile, Zuckerberg has crowed about his magnanimity in preserving the
accounts of people who deny the Holocaust, never mentioning the fact that
provocative content propels traffic that might make him richer. How would
you know whether Facebook was selectively suppressing material that
favored one candidate or political party? You wouldn’t. (For a detailed
look at nine ways Google censors content, see my essay “The New
Censorship,” published in 2016.)
10. The Digital Customization Effect (DCE)
Any marketer can tell you how important it is to know your customer. Now,
think about that simple idea in a world in which Google has likely
collected the equivalent of millions of Word pages of information about
you. If you randomly display a banner ad on a web page, out of 10,000
people, only five are likely to click on it; that’s the CTR—the
“clickthrough rate” (0.05 percent). But if you target your ad, displaying
it only to people whose interests it matches, you can boost your CTR a
hundredfold.
That’s why Google, Facebook, and others have become increasingly obsessed
with customizing the information they show you: They want you to be
happily and mindlessly clicking away on the content they show you.
In the research I conduct, my impact is always larger when I am able to
customize information to suit people’s backgrounds. Because I know very
little about the participants in my experiments, however, I am able to do
so in only feeble ways, but the tech giants know everything about you—even
things you don’t know about yourself. This tells me that the effect sizes
I find in my experiments are probably too low. The impact that companies
like Google are having on our lives is quite possibly much larger than I
think it is. Perhaps that doesn’t scare you, but it sure scares me.
The Same Direction
OK, you say, so much for Epstein’s list! What about those other
shenanigans we’ve heard about: voter fraud (Trump’s explanation for why he
lost the popular vote), gerrymandering, rigged voting machines, targeted
ads placed by Cambridge Analytica, votes cast over the internet, or, as I
mentioned earlier, those millions of bots designed to shift opinions. What
about hackers like Andrés Sepúlveda, who spent nearly a decade using
computer technology to rig elections in Latin America? What about all the
ways new technologies make dirty tricks easier in elections? And what
about those darn Russians, anyway?
To all that I say: kid stuff. Dirty tricks have been around since the
first election was held millennia ago. But unlike the new manipulative
tools controlled by Google and Facebook, the old tricks are
competitive—it’s your hacker versus my hacker, your bots versus my bots,
your fake news stories versus my fake news stories—and sometimes illegal,
which is why Sepúlveda’s efforts failed many times and why Cambridge
Analytica is dust.
“Cyberwar,” a new book by political scientist Kathleen Hall Jamieson,
reminds us that targeted ads and fake news stories can indeed shift votes,
but the numbers are necessarily small. It’s hard to overwhelm your
competitor when he or she can play the same games you are playing.
Now, take a look at my numbered list. The techniques I’ve described can
shift millions of votes without people’s awareness, and because they are
controlled by the platforms themselves, they are entirely noncompetitive.
If Google or Facebook or Twitter wants to shift votes, there is no way to
counteract their manipulations. In fact, at this writing, there is not
even a credible way of detecting those manipulations.
And what if the tech giants are all leaning in the same political
direction? What if the combined weight of their subtle and untraceable
manipulative power favors one political party? If 150 million people vote
this November in the United States, with 20 percent still undecided at
this writing (that’s 30 million people), I estimate that the combined
weight of Big Tech manipulations could easily shift upwards of 12 million
votes without anyone knowing. That’s enough votes to determine the
outcomes of hundreds of close local, state, and congressional races
throughout the country, which makes the free-and-fair election little more
than an illusion.
Full disclosure: I happen to think that the political party currently in
favor in Silicon Valley is, by a hair (so to speak), the superior party at
the moment. But I also love America and democracy, and I believe that the
free-and-fair election is the bedrock of our political system. I don’t
care how “right” these companies might be; lofty ends do not justify shady
means, especially when those means are difficult to see and not well
understood by either authorities or the public.
Can new regulations or laws save us from the extraordinary powers of
manipulation the Big Tech companies now possess? Maybe, but our leaders
seem to be especially regulation-shy these days, and I doubt, in any case,
whether laws and regulations will ever be able to keep up with the new
kinds of threats that new technologies will almost certainly pose in
coming years.
I don’t believe we are completely helpless, however. I think that one way
to turn Facebook, Google, and the innovative technology companies that
will succeed them, into responsible citizens is to set upsophisticated
monitoring systems that detect, analyze, and archive what they’re showing
people—in effect, to fight technology with technology.
As I mentioned earlier, in 2016, I led a team that monitored search
results on multiple search engines. That was a start, but we can do much
better. These days, I’m working with business associates and academic
colleagues on three continents to scale up systems to monitor a wide range
of information the Big Tech companies are sharing with their users—even
the spoken answers provided by personal assistants. Ultimately, a
worldwide ecology of passive monitoring systems will make these companies
accountable to the public, with information bias and online manipulation
detectable in real time.
With November drawing near, there is obviously some urgency here. At this
writing, it’s not clear whether we will be fully operational in time to
monitor the midterm elections, but we’re determined to be ready for 2020.

Obama Campaign Spending Under Criminal
Investigation by Federal and Public Prosecutors
- Probe looking into whether committee misspent funds and top Silicon
Valley donors gave money in exchange for access to the administration
Federal and public prosecutors are investigating whether Barack Obama's
first campaign committee misspent some of the record millions it raised
from donations, people familiar with the matter said.
The criminal probe by the attorney’s office, which is in its early stages,
also is examining whether some of the committee’s top donors gave money in
exchange for access to the incoming Obama administration, policy
concessions or to influence official administration positions through
Department of Energy "slush-funds".
Giving money in exchange for political favors runs afoul of federal
corruption laws. Diverting funds from organizations like USAID, In-Q-Tel,
Clinton Foundation and others which are registered as a nonprofit, could
also violate federal law.
The investigation represents another potential legal threat to people who
are or were in Obama's orbit. Their business dealings and activities
during and since the campaign have led to a number of indictments and
guilty pleas. Many of the Obama's biggest campaign backers, including Elon
Musk, Steve Jurvetson, John Doerr and others, were involved in the schemes
and benefited from them.
The investigation partly arises out of materials seized in related federal
probes.
The Obama committee hasn’t been asked for records or been contacted by
prosecutors.
Former President Barack Obama’s first inaugural fund reported raised a
massive amount in 2009, a campaign record. Obama's funds came largely from
wealthy donors and corporations who gave $1 million or more, according to
Federal Election Commission filings.
A lawyer for Barack Obama didn’t respond to requests for comment.
The Obama White House staff didn’t respond to requests for comment on the
investigation.

In the CleanTech Crash Department of Energy Dark Money scandal portion
of this case, the victims had much to say:
By Dan Epstein
News flash: Government subsidies and special-interest favors go hand in
hand.
The latest example comes from a federal green-energy loan program. Last
month, the DC District Courtruled that
Cause of Action, where I am executive director, can proceed
with a lawsuitagainst the Department of Energy. We’re
suing the federal government for the blatant political favoritism in its
$25 billion “Advanced Technology Vehicle Manufacturing Loan Program.”
In principle, this taxpayer-funded program was supposed to support the
manufacture of energy-efficient cars. In practice, it rewarded a select
few well-connected companies.
Since the program was created in 2008, numerous businesses have applied
for its taxpayer-backed financial support. Yet only a small number were
approved. Among the lucky few were two electric car manufacturers: Teslaand Fisker.
Both companies’ political connections run deep, especially Tesla’s. The
company’s founder, Elon Musk, was a max
donor for President Obama. One of its board
members, Steven
Westly, was appointed to a Department of Energy advisory
board. And another Obama bundler, Tesla investor and
adviser Steven Spinner, secured
employment in the department’s Loan Program
Office—the very office that gave the company a taxpayer-backed loan.
Fisker also has friends in high places. The company, which has
since gone
bankrupt, was
backed by a San Francisco venture
capital firm whose senior partners donated
millions to the 2008 Obama campaign and other
Democrat causes. One
partner, John
Doerr, parlayed his support into a seat on the
President’s Council of Jobs and Competitiveness.
Such connections can allow a company to exert political pressure to
enrich itself. Unsurprisingly, Department of Energy emails show that such
pressure was rampant in its loan programs.
There’s no shortage of examples. The department’s leaders—including
then-Secretary of Energy Steven Chu—repeatedly promised to deliver results
to politicians like Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) and Sen. Harry Reid
(D-Nev.). One
emails reads, “DOE has made a political commitment” to
approve a company’s loan. Another says the “pressure is on real heavy”
from none other than Vice President Joe Biden. And still another
shows an employee asking, “what’s another billion
anyhow?”
Unsurprisingly, the Obama administration gave Tesla and Fisker
preferential treatment, and then some.
The Department of Energy revised its review process in order finish the
companies’ applications faster. The government gave
them extraordinary access to its staff and
facilities—even to the point of having government employees personally
walk them through the loan application and approval process. The
department ignored its own lending rules in order to approve the
companies’ loans. And it renegotiated
the terms of some loans after the companies could
not keep their original commitments or were experiencing financial
difficulties. Tellingly, Fisker has since gone out of business, despite
receiving over a billion dollars in loans through this federal program.
Now contrast this preferential treatment with what happened to XP
Vehicles and Limnia, neither of which have the same political connections.
(My organization is suing the Department of Energy on their behalf). The
two companies partnered to manufacture an energy-efficient sport utility
vehicle that would have competed with Tesla and Fisker’s cars. They
applied for loans in 2008 and 2009 under the same loan program.
The department refused them both—and it used bogus reasons to do so.
For starters, the department made claims that were laughably false. To
take one example: It rejected XPV’s application because its
vehicle was powered by hydrogen. It was an electric SUV.
It also raised objections that it didn’t raise with other companies whose
applications were approved. For instance: The bureaucracy criticized the
proposed all-electric vehicle for not using a specific type of gasoline.
Yet Tesla and Fisker received the loans despite producing similar
all-electric cars.
In light of these obvious problems and hypocrisy, both companies
presented the Department of Energy with detailed rebuttals. Yet the
government failed to respond. To this day, both XPV and Limnia are
awaiting a satisfactory reply. In the meantime, XPV
has gone out of business (temporarily), unable to compete
against its politically connected—and subsidized—rivals.
This casts the Department of Energy’s loan program in a new light. It was
sold to the American public as a means of promoting energy-efficient
vehicles. Instead, it was used to benefit a select few well-connected
companies. It was a blatant crony handout, paid for by the U.S. taxpayer.
Sadly, similar examples are widespread in Washington. That’s no surprise
considering the feds spend roughly
$100 billion a year in taxpayer-funded handouts to
businesses. This breeds the sort of government-business collusion
Americans think is rampant in Washington. In fact, over
two-thirds of likely voters think the federal
government helps businesses that hire the most lobbyists, shake the right
hands, and pad the right pockets. They’re right.
This points to a simple conclusion: Politicians and bureaucrats shouldn’t
use the public’s money to pad private companies’ bottom lines. As the
Department of Energy’s green-vehicle loan program shows, the capacity for
corruption is immense—and inevitable.
"After being attacked with a $30 million dollar retribution program by
political operatives who were also our business competitors we fought
back. With the encouragement of members of Congress we used 100% legal
tools to interdict the corruption.
First, with a unique new kind of pioneering federal lawsuit, we
established — FOR THE FIRST TIME IN LEGAL HISTORY — that political
cronyism is a valid basis for a claim of arbitrary-and-capricious agency
action under the Administrative Procedure Act. See: Federal Case One,
(D.D.C. 2015).
Second, we prevailed in the United States Court of Appeals for the
District of Columbia Circuit on our appeal of the district court’s
ruling that an agency may escape judicial review of its action by
requesting a voluntary remand but refusing to reconsider its initial
denial of an application. See: Case Federal Two, (D.C. Cir. 2017). The
D.C. Circuit agreed with us that an agency may only seek a remand if it
promises to reconsider its initial decision. It is because of that
victory that DOE is now reconsidering the ATVM application under Federal
Court order and we are using GAO, FBI and Congressional oversight
offices to assure effective ethics and transparency.
Third, we placed, on permanent public record, one of the most detailed
documentation sets, ever assembled, about how modern political "Dark
Money" conduits operate. This prevents the use of those kinds of
criminal efforts, in the future, by exposing the tactics to the public.
Fourth, Our Team engaged in the interdiction and termination of corrupt
agency executives, contractors and their financiers. This included some
of the most well-known names in Washinton, DC, at the time. Many of them
were investigated by the FBI, GAO and Congress.
Fifth, and most important, we put every corrupt political scheme on
notice that they WILL be found out and interdicted and that we will
re-activate every interdiction resource if it happens again to us!

Bright Automotive Calls Out Crony Corruption In Nationwide Open
Letter:
Bright Automotive executives minced few words in
laying out the impact of the DoE's politically rigged decision-making
process. Their letter says:
"The ineffectiveness of the DOE to execute its
program harms commercial enterprise as it not only interfered with the
capital markets; it placed American companies at the whim of approval by
a group of bureaucrats.
Today at your own ARPA-E conference, Fred Smith,
the remarkable leader of FedEx,
made the compelling case to reduce our dependence on oil; a product
whose price is manipulated by a cartel which has caused the greatest
wealth transfer in our history from the pockets of working people and
businesses to countries, many of whom are not our allies.
And yet, having in hand a tremendous tool for
progress in this critically strategic battle -- a tool that drew the
country's best to your door -- you failed not only in the deployment of
funds from ATVM but in dissipating these efforts against not just false
hope, but false words..."
Marita Noon on the Green Crony Corruption of the Obama DNC -
Everyone who pays any attention to the news knows the name Solyndra. It
has become synonymous with the overall failed green energy program
administered by the Obama team. Politicos know there are many
other companies that have received loan guarantees for various
green energy projects that have since become a source of ridicule for the
White House. Some might even be able to name a few. There is the
now-bankrupt company that made batteries for electric cars: Ener1.
The plug-in electric sports car company, Fisker, that made its cars in
Finland and has troubles
too numerous to cite. And, of course, we know about the Chevy
Volt—that our taxpayer dollars bailed out only to have demand so low that
Chevrolet had to pull
the plug on the production line and lay off workers for five
weeks earlier this year. But few know the full story.
Connecting the dots will make your head hurt. There are various programs
and special tax breaks and different kinds of companies that received
green energy loans: solar, wind, and geothermal; and car companies,
battery manufacturers, and biofuel producers. While the projects differ,
they have several startling similarities. The vast majority of the green
energy loan guarantees were given to companies that could not obtain
enough financial backing from private investors. Their “junk” or
“speculative” grade kept people from putting their own money into them
—yet your money and mine was given to them, and we had no say in the
matter. Of the 27 loans issued through the 1705 Loan Guarantee Program to
21 firms, virtually all of them have “connections” to either President
Obama or other high-ranking Democrats—or both! The loans were made to fill
a market created not by free-market demand, but by government mandates.
And, all of the “special
seven” got fast-tracked approvals through the Department of
Interior with little scrutiny over environmental damages that would have
taken any other energy company months, if not years, to get, and EPA
regulations were applied selectively.
Many of the companies that received the funds had involvement with large
donors and/or bundlers for the Obama campaign, and there is an amazing
revolving door through which the players pass many times. They worked, for
example, for Senator Harry Reid. Then they are on the staff of an
investment firm that invested in one, or more, of the companies. Next you
find he or she is on some White House commission—or worse, became part of
the Obama Department of Energy team. Some 460 companies applied for DOE
loans, but only 27 projects, 21 companies, got the funds. And 85% of these
have been found to have “connections.” The remaining 15% may well have
connections too, albeit more guarded or hidden.
These are not wild assertions. I have the data to back them up.
Following the publication of my column a couple of weeks ago on crony
capitalism, I was connected with Christine Lakatos. She’s a
private citizen and a single mom with a nose for research. Beginning in
2009, she was hired to work on investigative projects, following the green
energy money. But when those projects were completed, she didn’t stop
digging. She kept finding more and more. With no outlet for her work, she
started a blog where she “brain dumps” her findings—which for a total
unknown has received an impressive number of readers. For anyone but the
most stalwart, her Green
Corruption Blog is like getting a drink of water from a fire
hydrant.
On Sunday, some of Lakatos’ research was presented in my weekly
column. The response prompted us to begin a collaboration.
For each of the next 17 weeks, we will expose one green-energy,
crony-corruption story after another (though my travel schedule may
require me to skip a week here and there). It will be a “book” released
chapter-by-chapter. If you like what you find, we hope you’ll let us know
and come back the following week for the next installment.
Some single stories of what we’ll expose are “out there”—though surely
not covered by the mainstream media and not all in one place or all
connected as we’re doing. If you made a study of the green-energy,
crony-corruption story your passion, you likely found out a lot of what
we’ll share. If you read the report
from the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee (HOGRC) on the
Obama Administration’s green energy gamble word-for-word, or watched the
incriminating hearings, you’ll already know some of what we’ll present.
Or, if you’ve read the chapter in Peter Schweizer’s book Throw
Them All Outthat addresses
alternative energy and “how the game of funneling taxpayer money to
friends has exploded to astonishing levels in recent years,” you have a
good idea of the big picture. If you have made this your passion, have
studied the report, and have coordinated with Schweizer, as Lakatos has,
you are encouraged to help make these reports as complete as possible.
Together, we’ll connect the dots and present it here in bite-sized pieces.
Each of the energy projects we will profile in the “special seven”
section were recipients of billions of taxpayer dollars through the 1705
Loan Guarantee Program (LGP) and many will be receiving millions more
through the 1603 Grant Program. The 1705 LGP is an expansion of the 1703
program that was approved in 2005 under President Bush—increasing the
expenditures from $17.9
billion in 2007 to $37.2 billion in 2010. The 2009 American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act significantly expanded the DOE’s authority,
under Energy Secretary Steven Chu, through the newly created 1705 LGP.
(Under the Recovery Act, $86 billion—approximately 10% of the stimulus
package—was earmarked for green energy projects.) The LGP means that
companies get risk-free money. If the company succeeds, the low-interest
loan gets paid back. If they fail—as many
have—we, the taxpayers, lose. In contrast, the 1603
Grant Program—implemented as part the Obama stimulus––is
administered by the Treasury Department, with the goal of reimbursing
eligible applicants for a portion of the costs of installing specified
energy property used in a trade or business or for the production of
income. Basically 1603 gives billions in favored businesses tax-free cash
gifts that do not have to be paid back.
While we can prove that cronyism has run amok within the majority of 1705
LGP, we'll stay focused on the Special Seven. Here, in Part 1, we present
a complete overview of the connecting dots on one project: SolarReserve,
LLC. With this introduction made, we’ll likely address several companies,
with a common denominator, in subsequent releases.
In Sunday’s column, the following thumbnail was presented:
“SolarReserve’s Crescent
Dunes project is a solar thermal power tower plant
utilizing the advanced molten salt power tower technology with integrated
storage located in Tonopah, NV. The company's Fitch rating is BB, yet in
September 2011, it was the recipient of $737
million in DOE loan guarantees. Obama’s law school buddy
and 2008 Obama campaign bundler, Michael Froman, was managing director of
alternative investments at Citigroup—which became a major
investor in SolarReserve. Froman currently serves on
the White
House staff. Additionally, other high profile Democrats are
involved with SolarReserve.”
But there is more.
More about Michael Froman. Peter Schweizer reports that “When Obama ran
for president, Froman helped raise large sums of money on Wall Street” for
the 2008 campaign. The HOGRC report (page 47) confirms Peter’s findings
and adds that Froman was a $200,000 bundler: “Michael Froman currently
serves as the Deputy Assistant to the President and Deputy National
Security Advisor for International Economic Affairs. He was a friend of
President Obama’s from law school, and supported his political career by
bundling over $200,000 for his 2008 presidential candidacy. Prior to his
arrival at the White House, Froman was the Managing Director of
Alternative Investments at Citigroup, where he managed infrastructure and
sustainable development investments. Citigroup became a major investor in
SolarReserve, which ultimately received a $737 million loan guarantee in
September 2011.”
Next, David Sandalow—who is currently “the Assistant Secretary for Policy
and International Affairs at DOE, where he acts as Secretary’s Chu’s
principal adviser on energy policy, as well as coordinating DOE’s foreign
policy involvement.” (HOGRC report page 49) “Sandalow’s ties to the White
House date back to the Clinton Administration, during which he worked with
President Clinton on environmental issues. After having gained this
experience, Sandalow became the influential Chair of the Energy &
Climate Working Group of the Clinton Global Initiative. He went on to
advise President Obama’s presidential campaign in 2008. Prior to joining
the Obama Administration, Sandalow was a senior advisor to Good Energies,
Inc., an energy-focused venture capital firm. Good Energies is an investor
in SolarReserve.”
Other SolarReserve connections to the Democratic Party include:
Ronald Pelosi—Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s
brother-in-law, Ronald
Pelosi, holds a leadership position with Pacific Corporate
Group Asset Management—which is an investor
in SolarReserve. Additionally, his colleague, Jasandra
Nyker, has served as a member of SolarReserve’s board of
directors.
George Kaiser—Argonaut Private Equity is an investor in
SolarReserve. Argonaut Private Equity is owned by major
Democratic fundraiser and a 2008 Top Obama bundler George
Kaiser, who also invested in Solyndra. Kaiser made multiple visits to the
White House in the months before the company was granted a $535 million
loan from the government. The Managing Director for Argonaut Private
Equity, Steve Mitchell, serves on SolarReserve's Board of Directors.
Tony Podesta—OpenSecrets.org
shows that SolarReserve paid hundreds of thousands of dollars in lobbying
fees to the Podesta Group. Tony Podesta is the principal at the Podesta
Group—which he started
with his brother John. John Podesta ran Barack Obama’s
presidential transition team and is the Director of the Center for
American Progress—which is “reportedly highly
influential in helping to craft White House Policy.” Both Tony
Podesta and his wife Heather (a Washington power couple) are frequent
White House visitors that share high ranks in "lobbying power," and
Democrat bundling as well.
Lee Bailey—SolarReserve’s Chairman of the Board is Lee Bailey, a
Managing Director with U.S. Renewables Group, who holds a significant
financial stake in SolarReserve. Bailey
has donated $21,850 since 2008 to Democratic candidates,
including President Obama, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, California
Sen. Barbara Boxer and then-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
James McDermott—SolarReserve
board member James McDermott is also a Managing Director with
U.S. Renewables Group. He contributed $61,500
to various Democratic campaigns since 2008, including $30,800
to Obama’s presidential election campaign. U.S Renewable Energy Group has
ties with Senator Harry Reid.
If there were only one connect-the-dots story, it would be easy to
dismiss it as coincidence. But here, with just one company, you can see
the dots connect, and connect, and connect. As you will continue to see,
they keep on connecting. In this case, connect-the-dots is no innocent
childhood game. It is a high-stakes gamble and only those with connections
get to play. Obama and his Democratic friends are the winners. We, the
taxpayers, the losers. We lose the financial investment of our tax dollars
and our electricity rates go up—all to support the discredited ruse of
man-made climate change.
DOE corruption: appointed and elected officials should face prison
time
An exhaustive review of 350+ pages of leaked emails regarding the
Obama administration’s handling of the various green-energy loan and grant
programs makes several things very clear: they lied, engaged in favoritism, and rushed
application approvals to suit the political agenda of the White House. At
the same time, worthy projects that went through a complete due diligence
process were denied or ultimately withdrawn, as the lengthy approval
process “taxed investors’ patience”—as was the case with Aptera Motors,
which worked closely with the DOE for two years.
Paul Wilbur, President and CEO at Aptera, didn’t think they were treated
unfairly. He told me, “At the end of the day, we couldn’t get through the
process.” But, he admits, he hasn’t read the emails.
Aptera was trying to build a very efficient electric vehicle with an
under $30K price point. Wilbur met with Secretary Chu who could see the
value in the technology. But our research shows that value was not the
deciding factor in which projects got funded and which ones didn’t. Wilbur
reports that he didn’t donate to any candidate. He wanted to keep the
whole process clean and do what was “good for America.”
The report from the House Oversight Committee
says Aptera first applied for an ATVM loan in December of 2008 and “shut
down on December 2, 2011.” The report implies that Aptera was led
on: “After numerous negotiations with DOE, in September 2011, Aptera
received a conditional loan commitment of $150 million if the company was
able to raise $80 million privately.” And: “The loans given to Fisker and
Tesla gave Aptera hope that DOE would eventually act on their application.
More importantly, since the DOE continued to engage with the company
throughout the time period, management was convinced that DOE was
interested and willing to provide financing for the company.”
Aptera’s 100% US technology has since been sold to a Chinese company.
Aptera was applying for an Advanced Technology Vehicle Manufacturing loan
(ATVM). Only five loans were given out through the program and all have
political ramifications. Christine Lakatos, who has worked with me on the
green-energy, crony-corruption reports I’ve written, has done thorough
research on the topic. She has read each and every one of the 350+ pages
of emails released on October 31 and has written a blog post specifically addressing the ATVM
program and its hijinks. As she cites, Fisker and Tesla (which Romney
referenced in the first debate), got loans in 2010 and then the Vehicle
Production Group’s loan was the only ATVM loan closed in 2011; all have
ties to Obama bundlers. The other two ATVM loans went to Ford and
Nissan—both of which, according to the House report, “were heavily engaged in negotiations
with the Administration over fuel economy standards for model years
2012-2016 at the time the DOE was considering their applications. Both
companies eventually expressed publicly their support for these standards,
which the Administration described as the ‘Historic Agreement.’”
Armed with the sweeping knowledge of the House reports and subsequent
hearings, evidence from DOE staffers (many of whom were appointed by
Obama), Lakatos’ research, and personal experience, a different ATVM
applicant has now taken its case to court citing “corruption and
negligence.”
On November 16, 2012, XP
Technologies filed a lawsuit against the federal government
concerning the DOE’s denial of XP Technology’s loan guarantee application.
The complaint alleges: “criminal activities did
take place by DOE staff and affiliates.” A November 23 press release announces that XP Technologies
is now represented by Cause
of Action, “a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that uses
investigative, legal, and communication tools to educate the public on how
government accountability and transparency protects taxpayer interests and
economic activity.”
According to the document filed on November 16, “Plaintiffs' backgrounds
include extensive issued patents on seminal technologies in use
world-wide, White House and Congressional commendations and an engineering
team of highly experienced auto-makers. Plaintiff brought a vehicle
design, which was proposed as the longest range, safest, lowest cost
electric vehicle, to be built in America in order to deliver extensive
American jobs nationwide. No other applicant, or award ‘winner’, has
succeeded in meeting, or (is) intending to meet, that milestone. XP
Technology developed a patented lightweight, low-cost, long-range,
electric vehicle using air-expanded foam-skinned material for a portion of
the polymer body and received numerous patents, acclaim and superior
computer modeling metrics over any competing solution. XP presented a vast
set of letters of support to DOE from pending customers. Major
auto-industry facilities and engineers had joined forces to bring the
vehicle to the defense, commercial and consumer market.”
Over the weekend, we had an exclusive interview, on condition of
anonymity, with a senior official at XP Technologies about the lawsuit and
the experience.
He reported: “Staff from within the DOE have provided evidence which is
quite compelling.” As Aptera's Wilbur made clear, the individuals within
the DOE were very thorough. One of the emails, in the 350+ pages, was from
Secretary Chu himself in which he criticized staffers for taking a
“principled stand,” which held up the approval process of projects the
White House wanted advanced. Another indicated that the pressure to rush
was coming from “above the agency.” Overall, the emails show that projects
were rushed so that announcements could coincide with visits, speeches,
and photo ops—as well as providing talking points for the president.
Our XP source told us “We experienced, and have been provided evidence
of, applicant submissions and reviews being modified in order to benefit
some and disadvantage others, and the business connections between the
different parties associated with the ones that benefited is quite
extraordinary.” The leaked emails support this accusation,
specifically regarding the “business connections.” In her post, Lakatos
calls it “green fraternizing.” The emails show that certain applicants and
decision makers went bike riding together, had coffee meetings,
sleepovers, beer summits, parties, dinners, and fundraisers.
While he didn’t provide us with a name, the XP official said, “We
experienced a senior senator blockading our efforts and then providing
favors to a competitor, which then benefited his family financially.” The
discovery the lawsuit will provide will expose the “senior senator,” but
our previous research shows that Senator Harry Reid’s actions seem to fit the
XP official’s comment.
XP Technologies believes that “DOE officials changed the
first-come-first-served published rules and standards of the funding in
order to take applicants in order of who they favored and who had
purchased the most influence instead of the order in which they applied,
as required.”
Having extensively studied the DOE’s various loan programs, including the
ATVM, Lakatos and I agree with our source’s startling conclusion: “Based
on the evidence provided by investigators, and experienced directly by our
team, it is hard to imagine that at least one or more elected,
or?appointed, officials might not be seeing measures ranging from censure
or even federal prison time.”
Time, the lawsuit, and subsequent investigation will tell.
While the House Oversight Committee has been digging deeply into the
mismanagement and corruption of the green energy loans, the media has paid
little attention. Other than our report, the October 31 release of the
emails cited here received virtually no news reporting. Even the Fox News
Channel ignored the story. The plight of promising companies like Aptera
and XP Technologies would have gone unnoticed if not for the lawsuit. The
legal complaint attracted attention.
On November 16, the Heritage Foundation broke the XP story: “A
lawsuit filed in federal court on Wednesday alleges mass favoritism in the
Department of Energy’s decisions to award federal grants to major car
companies to develop electric vehicles, according to a legal complaint
obtained by Scribe.”
On November 19, Lakatos, whose work is listed as “evidence” in the legal
complaint, received a call from Fox News’ Gary Gastelu—who reported on the story on November 20. The
next day, Fox News covered the lawsuit on America’s Newsroom. Even the
Drudge Report picked up on the story.
XP has a litigation website on which the company
states: “The case has nothing to do with complaining about not getting the
loans. It has everything to do with HOW the applicants didn't get the
loans!” They are communicating with other applicants about participating
in the lawsuit.
The XP story and subsequent media coverage offers a lesson for
others—especially industries who have been wronged by the Obama
Administration’s practices (such as energy). The lawsuit may—or may
not—send officials to federal prison, as our XP source suggests, but it
could go a long way to winning in the court of public opinion.
Should dirty politicians and their Silicon Valley oligarch
campaign financiers get to "kill" taxpayers lives without getting
arrested? How and why did a Donald Trump stripper-date named "Stormy"
or an Elon Musk sex party or a Kavanaugh drinking incident or the
Moonves and Weinstein indiscretions suddenly hit the news at about the
same time in news history?
It is all part of the modern trend in
vendetta, revenge and political payback when a Senator or a tech
oligarch issues a "kill order" on an opponent.
The client does not like to get their
hands dirty so the actual social hit job is performed by companies
such as:
IN-Q-Tel - (DNC); Gawker Media -
(DNC); Jalopnik - (DNC); Gizmodo Media - (DNC); K2 Intelligence -
(DNC); WikiStrat - (DNC); Podesta Group - (DNC); Fusion GPS -
(DNC/GOP); Google - (DNC); YouTube - (DNC); Alphabet - (DNC); Facebook
- (DNC); Twitter - (DNC); Think Progress - (DNC); Media Matters -
(DNC); Black Cube - (DNC); Mossad - (DNC); Correct The Record - (DNC);
Sand Line - (DNC/GOP); Blackwater - (DNC/GOP); Stratfor - (DNC/GOP);
ShareBlue - (DNC); Wikileaks (DNC/GOP); Cambridge Analytica -
(DNC/GOP); Sid Blumenthal- (DNC); David Brock - (DNC); Covington and
Burling - (DNC), Perkins Coie - (DNC); Wilson Sonsini - (DNC)
and hundreds of others…These are the people and companies that except
cash, revolving door jobs, political appointments, insider trading
stock in Silicon Valley tech companies, prostitutes and real estate in
exchange for destroying the lives of others.
They deserve to be punished for the
rest of their lives for taking away the lives of others in exchange
for cash. Any company who is corrupt enough to hire any of these
assassins should be forced out of business. These attack services are
responsible for 90% of the "Fake News" problem in the world because
they are the authors of most fake news. Congress must act to make
these kinds of companies illegal!
These digital assassination services
offer hit-jobs, character assassinations and economic reprisal
programs to famous billionaires and corrupt politicians who are
seeking revenge, retribution and vendetta executions.
In the case of reporters getting
targeted for attacks, President Donald Trump has been accused by the
liberal corporate media of whipping up a hateful frenzy against the
press. But while CNN’s Jim Acosta grandstands against Trump, real
journalists are still reeling from the draconian extrajudicial
measures that Barack Obama and his administration used to target them
for exposing truth.
This secretive targeting
occurred while Obama speechwriter and hate-filled ANTIFA
supporter Ben
Rhodes
was running “Operation Echo Chamber,” which
reportedly
continues, in which he fed information to willing corporate
media scribes. “They literally know nothing,” Rhodes said of
the twentysomething journalists he easily manipulated.
Obama is also clearly linked to the
plot to obtain fraudulent FISA warrants on President Trump’s team, as
evidenced by Peter Strzok and Lisa Page’s texts confirming that Obama
was overseeing their fly-by-night operation.
For months pundits and researchers
have been pondering the mystery of the FISA approval that led to the
illegal and historically titanic scandals to ever hit the U.S.
government. Some have argued that Assistant Attorney General Rod
Rosenstein knew the FISA was bogus when he extended it. Others have
wondered if Special Counsel Robert Mueller knew about the fraudulent
basis of the FISA when he used it, in part, to indict Michael Flynn.
Other still, that Mueller was fooled by the FBI.
This is what President Trump calls
“SPYGATE”.
It may well be that the surveillance
that was conducted began with UK intelligence services and then
was fed back to the White House of Barack Obama. Here’s the kicker:
President Barack Obama did not
need a FISA warrant to authorize spying/electronic
surveillance on Trump because Obama all along had legal
authorization to by-pass the normal court vetting process.
According to 50 U.S. Code 1802, the “Electronic Surveillance
Authorization” () “Foreign
intelligence
in relation to a US person (Trump or his associates) is
information that’s necessary for the US to protect against
attack, hostile acts, sabotage, . . . as well as other
clandestine activities by a foreign power . . . OR . . .
information relevant to national defense/security of the US,
or the conduct of foreign affairs of the U.S.” Such an
authorization by Obama required certification by Attorney
General Loretta Lynch that must be logged with the FISC
court. (“The [AG]+ shall immediately transmit under seal to
the court [FISC] a copy of his certification.”)
In short, the DOJ has this. If we are
correct, a copy of that certification is currently under seal at
least with the DOJ and the FISC.
This is what they are hiding.
However, the Act requires the AG to
keep the Select Committee on Intelligence and the Senate
Committee on Intelligence informed of these authorizations and
unmaskings therein. See 1803 (a) (1) (C) If indeed this is what
happened, did Lynch report—or only selectively report—to the
committees in a way that excluded non-friendlies? Can you see why Adam
Schiff, Mark Warner, and their ilk are terrified?
1) Obama authorized spying/electronic
surveillance on Team Trump, by-passing normal judicial oversight.
2) To create “foreign intelligence,” John Brennan and others organized
for UK intelligence to conduct surveillance on Trump and his
associates, either from the UK or from UK assets within the U.S. This
is another reason revealing this will unleash an excrement storm: the
UK is about to be caught meddling bigly in an American election.
3) Lynch certified Obama’s authorization which is now held under seal
by DOJ (and FISC).
From this authorization, all unmaking
followed, as well as the FBI fraudulent counter intel
investigation and perhaps the FISA warrant too. Obama knew this was
all fake when he made the authorization; Lynch knew it was fake when
she certified it; the entire inner circle, including the FBI, all
knew. This takes the U.S. into uncharted territory, and could imperil
any politician in the British government who supported this or had
knowledge of it. Proving any of this would be difficult, as if
confronted Lynch would almost certainly cover up and Obama would
simply deny knowledge. Without a paper trail, a conviction might be a
bridge too far. This is only one of thousands of "kill order" tactics
introduced by the Obama Administration.
These are the playbook tactics that
Senators and tech oligarchs most often use to destroy the lives of
their political and business enemies:
- Government agency bosses
sometimes solicit the target victims with false promises of future
loans, contracts or grants from their agency and cause the target
victims to expend millions of dollars and years of their time for
projects which those government bosses had covertly promised to
their friends. They use the target victims as a “smokescreen” to
cover their illegal government slush-funds for the victims
competitors and personal enemies. By using this tactic, the
attackers can drain the target victims funds and force them into
an economic disaster in plain view of everyone without the
government bosses fearing any reprisal for their scam.
- Every match.com, okcupid.com,
Plenty Of Fish, Seeking Arrangements and all other IAC-owned, or
similar, dating sites (IAC is managed by Hillary Clinton's
daughter) have had their profiles, texts, and inter-member
communications, since those companies were started, hacked or
purchased. The attack service providers use Palantir and In-Q-Tel
financed data analysis software to analyze every activity in those
dating services in order to find honey-trap, blackmail, sextortion
and social conflict exploitation opportunities. If you had a bad
date with someone, that someone will be hunted down and convinced
to help harm, #metoo or "rape charge" the intended target. All
dates involve a search for sex, so the likelihood that a sexual
disappointment experience will exist in each persons dating
history is high. Searching every past dating email and text of a
subject is quite easy with modern software and hacking techniques.
A synthetically amplified, PR-agency optimized sex scandal can
destroy any target. Your dating experiences from the 70's or 80's
will come back to haunt you decades later. Most dates involve
drinking alcohol and taking drugs. If you were unattractive or had
bad sexual skills your bad date will be called "date rape",
"drugging your date for sex" and related twisted narratives
that are designed to shame you, the target. If you try to get a
date in the future, your potential date will be contacted by a
third party who will slander and libel you to make sure your
potential first date gets cancelled. Your social life will,
essentially, end. Every photo on every dating site is cross
checked with every other photo on the internet in order to cull
your Facebook, Linkedin, Snapchat and other social media together
to create a total psychological manipulation profile data file on
you. A single photo on a dating site can be cross searched on
every mugshot archive, photo album and corporate database in the
worth within minutes using modern super-computers. Your sex life
will be on public record in a flash.
- Social Security, SSI, SDI,
Disability and other earned benefits are stone-walled.
Applications of targets are “lost”. Files in the application
process “disappeared”. Lois Lerner hard drive “incidents” are
operated in order to seek to hide information and run cover-ups.
- Government officials and tech
oligarchs contact members of the National Venture Capital
association (NVCA) and created national “black-lists” to blockade
target victims from ever receiving investor funding. This was also
confirmed in a widely published disclosure by Tesla Motors Daryl
Siry and in published testimony. If Silicon Valley political
campaign finance oligarchs black-list you (see the "AngelGate"
Scandal and the "High Tech No Poaching Class Action Lawsuit"
cases) you will never get investor funding again.
- FOIA requests are hidden,
frozen, stone-walled, delayed, lied about and only partially
responded to in order to seek to hide information and run
cover-ups.
- State and federal employees
will play an endless game of Catch-22 by arbitrarily determining
that deadlines had passed that they, the government officials, had
stonewalled and obfuscated applications for, in order to force
these deadlines that they set, to appear to be missed. This can
bankrupt a target victim.
- Some Victims found themselves
strangely poisoned, not unlike the Alexander Litvenko
case. Heavy metals and toxic materials were found right after
their work with the Department of Energy weapons and energy
facilities. Many wonder if these “targets” were intentionally
exposed to toxins in retribution for their testimony. The federal
MSDS documents clearly show that a number of these people were
exposed to deadly compounds and radiations, via DOE, without being
provided with proper HazMat suits which DOE officials knew were
required.
- Victims employers are called,
and faxed, and ordered to fire target victims from their places of
employment, in the middle of the day, with no notice, as a
retribution tactic.
- On orders from Obama White
House officials, DNC-financed Google, YouTube, Gawker Media and
Gizmodo Media produce attack articles and defamation videos.
Google locks this attack media on the internet on the top line, of
the front page of all Google searches for a decade in front of 7.5
billion people, around the world. This attack-type uses over $40
million dollars in server farms, production costs and internet
rigging. The forensic data acquired from tracking some of these
attacks proves that Google rigs attacks against individuals on the
internet and that all of Google’s “impressions” are manually
controlled by Google’s executives who are also the main financiers
and policy directors of the Obama Administration. This data was
provided to the European Union for it’s ongoing prosecution of
Google’s political manipulation of public perceptions.
- Victims HR and employment
records, on recruiting and hiring databases, are embedded with
negative keywords in order to prevent the victim targets from ever
gaining future employment.
- Gary D. Conley, Seth Rich,
Rajeev Motwani and many other whistle-blowers in these matters,
turned up dead under strange circumstances. It is very possible
that some of these attack services, operated by former CIA
operatives, even offer discrete murder-for-sale services using
high-tech assassination tools that make murders look like heart
attacks and brain failures.
- Disability and VA complaint
hearings and benefits are frozen, delayed, denied or subjected to
lost records and "missing hard drives" as in the Lois Lerner case.
- Paypal (A DNC-biased operation)
and other on-line payments for on-line sales are de-platformed,
delayed, hidden, or re-directed in order to terminate income
potential for target victims who competed with the attackers
interests and holdings.
- DNS redirection, "website
spoofing" sends target victims websites to dead ends where no
sales orders or customer inquiries actually get back to the
target. These internet revenue activity manipulations are
conducted using Google and Amazon servers. All commercial
storefronts and on-line sales attempts by target victims, will
have had their sites hidden, or search engine de-linked by a
massively resourced facility located in Virginia, Texas or Palo
Alto, California in order to terminate revenue potentials for the
target victims.
- Over 50,000 trolls, shills,
botnets and synth-blog deployments are deployed to place
defamatory statements and disinformation about victims in front of
7.5 billion people around the world on the internet in order to
seek to damage their federal testimony credibility by a massively
resourced facility.
- Campaign finance dirty tricks
contractors are hired by campaign financiers to attack the friends
and family members of the target victim in order to create low
morale for the target victims psyche and motivation.
-
Are you getting weird headaches and hearing a "buzzing sound" in
your head? The U.S. Government has now acknowledged that the
Cuban, Chinese and other embassy "sonic attacks" are from a known
microwave beam weapon. Any one of the technical departments of the
attack services listed at the top of this article can build such a
biological harassment weapon. It can be aimed at the target
victims office, bedroom or vehicle and, within a week, have caused
biological and emotional damage using a weapon that has no visible
track of trajectory. It is designed to make the target victim
think they are "going crazy" or "hearing sounds in their head".
While this may sound pretty out there, web search "Embassy sonic
attacks" on the top 5 non-Google search engines and read the very
credible reports of these attacks.
- In one case covert political
partner: Google, transferred large sums of cash to dirty tricks
contractors and then manually locked the media portion of the
attacks into the top lines of the top pages of all Google searches
globally, for years, with hidden embedded codes in the links and
web-pages which multiplied the attacks on Victims by many
magnitudes.
- Covert Cartel financier:
Google, placed Google’s lawyer: Michelle Lee, in charge of the
U.S. Patent Office and she, in turn, stacked all of the U.S.
Patent Office IPR and ALICE review boards and offices with
Google-supporting employees in order to rig the U.S. Patent Office
to protect Google from being prosecuted for the vast patent thefts
that Google engages in. Google has hundreds of patent lawsuits for
technology theft and a number of those lawsuits refer to Google’s
operations as “Racketeering”, “Monopolistic Cartel” and
“Government Coup-like” behaviors. Thousands of articles and
investigations detail the fact that Google, “essentially” ran the
Obama White House and provided over 80% of the key White House
staff. A conflict-of-interest unlike any in American history.
Google’s investors personally told Applicant they would “kill
him”. Google and the Obama Administration were “the same entity”.
Applicant testified in the review that got Michelle Lee terminated
and uncovered a tactical political and social warfare group inside
Google who were financed by Federal and State funds.
- Honeytraps and moles were
employed by the attackers. In this tactic, people who covertly
worked for the attackers were employed to approach the “target” in
order to spy on and misdirect the subject.
-
Gawker Media, Gizmodo Media, Snopes, SPLC and other hired media
assassins will be retained to produce "hatchet job" character
assassination articles about you. Then those articles will be
faxed, mailed and emailed to your employer and investors with a
note saying: "You don't want to have anything to do with this
person, do you..?" in order to get you fired from your job
and get your loans or financing pulled. The attackers will use
their round one attack media, that they authored, to create a
round two second wave attack designed to end your life via
economic warfare.
- Mortgage and rental
applications will have had red flags added to them in databases to
prevent the targets from getting homes or apartments.
-
Krebs On Security, Wired, Ars Technica, The Wall Street Journal
and most major IT publications have reported that hundreds of spy
"back-doors" have been found on every Intel, AMD, Apple, Xfinity,
Cisco, Microsoft, Juniper Networks motherboard, chip-set and
hardware component set. This means that any kid with the "key"
code can open any computer, server, router, cloud-network or other
network connected device and read every file, photo, video, your
calendar and email on your devices at any time from any location
on Earth. The key codes have been released to every hacker
community in the world for over ten years. There is now no
government, corporate or personal data that can't be hacked, even
data from decades ago. Every single one of your darkest secrets
can be in the hands of your enemy within 60 minutes, or less.
Important meetings you had planned with potential investors,
employers, clients, dates, suppliers and others will suddenly get
cancelled at the last minute. They will get cancelled because your
enemies are reading your calendar remotely and covertly sending
slander information to those you had hoped to engage with in order
to sabotage your life. Nothing you have ever typed on a computer
or Smartphone is safe. it WILL be acquired and it WILL be used
against you.
- McCarthy-Era "Black-lists" are
created and employed against target victims who competed with
Obama Administration executives and their campaign financiers to
prevent them from getting funding and future employment.
- Obama Administration targets
were very carefully placed in a position of not being able to get
jobs, unemployment benefits, disability benefits or acquire any
possible sources of income. The retribution tactics were
audacious, overt..and quite illegal.
- There are thousands of
additional Dirty Tricks tactics being used by these Attack
Services yet Congress refuses to pass laws out-lawing such attack
services. The cost of an attack on a person ranges from
$150,000.00 to over $50,000,000.00. While a Silicon Valley
billionaire can afford to launch counter-measures to these
attacks, any regular taxpayer will be utterly destroyed, and
incapable of fighting back, against even the smallest version of
one of these "kill orders". A number of modern office shootings
are the results of these attacks against an individual who has
lost everything because of the attack and has no options left.
Federal
law enforcement, the United States Congress and the highest level
investigators in the U.S., and abroad, have documented (per the “FISA
Memo”, Congressional Reports and federal employee testimony) and
proven the fact that the Obama Administration regularly engaged in the
operation of retribution, vendetta and reprisal campaigns known as
“hit-jobs” against domestic natural born U.S. citizen domestic
taxpayers. The Federal Court, in at least one previous court case,has
ruled that Applicants, in this particular matter, were the victims and
target of a number of these attacks designed to inflict permanent
medical, emotional, character assassination, brand negation, economic
and career damage.
A typical Gawker-Gizmodo Media class of fake news manipulation groups is
the attack service at "Integrity Initiative". The hacking collective known
as "Anonymous" has published more explosive documents detailing
a psyop to
create a "large-scale
information secret service" — which
has been blamed for everything from Brexit to Trump
winning the 2016 US election to this month's anti-Macron "Yellow
Vest" protests.
A previously detailed
first trove of documents which were dumped online November 5th to
the site Cyberguerilla,
revealed one of the private organizations with deep government ties, the
"Integrity Initiative", to be engaged in an aggressive
campaign to organize "clusters"
of journalists across the West engaged in “counter-propaganda”
efforts on social media networks and in media. And now a
new trove of leaked Integrity Initiative documents has been
dumped online.
"Combatting
Russian Disinformation" - Screenshot from a bombshell newly leaked
document published Friday and hosted on the Cyberguerilla site.
The Integrity Initiative and its founding parent organization,
the Institute
for Statecraft— which
is known for its close relationship with the military and defense
officials — is
at
the center of debate in the House of Commons over its
anti-Corbyn and anti-Labour smears involving labeling party leader
Jeremy Corbyn a
“useful idiot” for Moscow, even while
the company is a recipient of official Foreign and Commonwealth Office
(FCO) funding.
The early November online leaks of confidential Integrity
Initiative documents were the first to reveal the government's
relationship to the private project devoted to news manipulation.
According to The
Guardian:
FCO funding of the Integrity Initiative was revealed by a set of
stolen documents posted online last month by hackers under the banner
of the Anonymous hacktivist
collective. The
organisation has not disputed their authenticity, but in a
statement suggested that Russia was responsible for the hack and that
Moscow had used its media channels to amplify its impact.
We noted previously
that the work done by the Initiative— which
claims it is not affiliated with government bodies, is done
under "absolute
secrecy via concealed contacts embedded throughout embassies,"
according to memos in the November leak. It does, however, admit to
working with unnamed "government agencies."
In the Commons earlier, I asked Alan Duncan why taxpayers money had
been used by the so-called 'Integrity Initiative' to disseminate
political attacks from its Twitter site (1/2). pic.twitter.com/zQNOPeQOMn
A "strictly confidential" proposal by the French company Lexfo to
spread the Integrity Initiative's state-sponsored propaganda through
an offensive online influence campaigns for a monthly pay per language
of €20-40.000. The
proposal also includes an offer for "counter activism" through
"negative PR, legal actions, ethical hack back, etc." for €50,000
per month.
The document
is marked "Strictly confidential" and lays out a "comprehensive action
proposal" which repeatedly invokes state funded media outlets as "enemy
disinformation" to be defeated.
The proposal touts the ability of an Integrity
Initiative partner — the
French cybersecurity firm Lexfo —to
create "indirect" and "untraceable" news content, just like
Nick Denton's and Bustle's system does in America, including its ability
to conduct "naming and shaming" campaigns targeting "allies" of "DNC
disinformation".
Presumably "allies" means any person or entity that happens to align
with the liberal viewpoint on any given issue. The shaming campaigns and
counter-information operations will be conducted
"across hundreds of credible media outlets".
"where
we lack platforms to publish our content... we will create news
media sites serving our objectives..."
Again, both the contracting cybersecurity firm and the Integrity
Initiative's role in literally creating media sites out of thin air for
the purpose of "serving our objectives" will remain "untraceable". This
is how the American Bustle-Podesta and Gawker-Gizmodo networks do it!
As part of the "infowar campaign" teams of media operatives across
Europe and the U.S. will "monitor" and edit social media pages as
well as Wikipedia entries, according to the leaked
document.
"Hot topics" which especially need to be monitored include the
Stormy sex conflict and any situation wherein "pro-Western
local politicians" could be swayed by "Russian-backed trolls"
The teams will engage in
"special operations" which are listed as:
negative
PR
legal
actions
ethical
hack back
And which populations are to be targeted? The document specifically
mentions seeking out a Russian audience alongside Western countries: "This
plan should be implemented in every targeted country and language, including
Russia."
These "influence operations" come at a price, according to the
document. One figure which is floated is a monthly pay per language fee
of €20-40.000, making it classic government subsidized mass
propaganda (again, the company has been confirmed as receiving FCO
funding).
Given that this looks like merely the tip of the iceberg in terms
of similar such UK and US funded "combating disinformation"
projects conducted in partnership with private entities out there,
these initiatives have most likely already
been active for years. The Adrian Covert's, Nick Denton's, John
Podesta's, John Herrman's, Nick Cook's and David Brock's of the world,
who stage and operate these media terror attacks, must be shut down,
sued, arrested and interdicted on a permanent basis.
These are the people and tactics that were hired to destroy the lives
of Monica Lewinsky, Brett Kavanaugh and others as part of a political
revenge and discrediting program.
"WHERE IS OUR FUCKING MONEY FOR OUR
DAMAGES, INFORMANT FEES, BENEFITS AND CONTRACT PAYMENTS!!!!???
