Google, in their attempt to rig elections and public perceptions, tried to get away with only removing defamations and character assassinations in French, on French sites under the dot “FR” domain. Google tries to ignore the fact that everybody reads all of the internet. The wise French saw through Google’s ploy and said “that cheese stinks Monsieur Google!”. France has ordered Google to stop acting like a “bitchy little school-girl” and to stop cheating. France also made Google pay them a fine. Russia has accused Google of being a “ruthless monopoly”. So has China. The European Union has sued and charged Google with intentional “human rights abuse”. Entire nations issued national reports, both internally and externally, proving that Google regularly engages in illicit activities. Only the United States regulators refuse to prosecute Google because Google has paid them “protection money”.
Google broke the law in almost every country in the world. Google crimes include paying bribes to elected officials, and the associates of those elected officials, in numerous countries. In the U.S., Google has illicitly manipulated White House, Department of Energy, FCC, and U.S. patent office staff in order to gain unfair business advantages. Part of their manipulations have involved paying senior elected officials to place all of Google’s employees in those, and other government departments in order to control policy decisions. Google’s actions have nearly amounted to an “attempted government coup”, according to analysts.
Google has illicitly expended billions of dollars in campaign financing, via services provisions, that it never legally reported. This is a fact: “Google has contributed over $45 billion in search results rigging, mood manipulation services, de-ranking and defamation attacks on political enemies to elected government officials, without reporting that campaign financing. This is a felony violation of the law”. When caught, Google owners lied to investigators about not being able to manipulate search results. Google has manually, consciously and maliciously; illicitly rigged, manipulated, altered and synthetically modified election results in regional and national elections including multiple elections in India and the first Obama election, the mid-term elections in the U.S. and the 2016 elections in the U.S.
Hillary Clinton’s emails, USAID records and ex-Google employees have revealed that Google used surreptitious electronics to manipulate Middle East, EU and US social, economic and trade developments in order to gain an unfair business advantage for Google’s investors.
Google operates a massive illicit tax evasion program which has caused U.S. taxpayers to lose their expected social services because of “unjust rewards” that Google pocketed from “Flash Boy” stock market valuation rigging along with pump-and-dump stock scams which Google never paid taxes on. Google’s “Dutch Sandwich” tax evasion trick is currently under investigation by three different nations and Interpol.
The description of the Company “PollyHop” in the 2016 House of Cards television program, in episodes 6 & 7, is actually a description of Google’s illegal activities according to some of the writers and researchers for House of Cards.
Google has a documented, planned program to use it’s technology to attack, defame, harass and economically damage it’s business and political competitors. Google exists as an illicit monopoly that has bribed elected officials, via campaign funding and search engine rigging, to avoid anti-trust regulation. The owners of Google have developed a coordinated plan to manipulate public policy decisions for personal gain, and extremist ideologies, created by their owners. These Google owners and executives have been charged with operating “sex penthouses”,“escort clubs”, “murder-by-hooker” and “3-way sex affairs with employees” scandals in the published news. This indicates that Google management amy hold warped values compared to the national norm.
Google’s founder’s and owners steal technology from others, and never compensate them for those thefts. Their tactics are documented in the New York Times article called: “How Larry Page’s Obsessions Became Google’s Business” and in search results on non-Google search engines for the phrase: “Google steals ideas”.
Google altered the neutral information, that was presumed to be equally available to all voters, and modified that information, nationally and globally, in an attempt to trick the public into believing that the “opinions” of Google’s owners were “facts”. Google has covert “fact codes” and “truth codes” embedded in Google’s web links which assert that “opinions” are “facts”. Google has engaged in “Mood Manipulation” technology effects to attempt to trick the public into believing that something was true, even if it may not be true?:
Google takes advantage of it’s immature employees by subjecting them to cult-like indoctrination and information control. Google’s “mindfulness trainings” and HR programs more resemble “EST” or Scientology indoctrination material, than it does a corporate policy book.
Google is one of the largest, if not THE largest, campaign financier(s) of the very politicians who gave Google the biggest government kick-backs at the expense of the public. Google covertly owns interest in Elon Musk’s companies and Google coordinated, and got, kick-backs from those companies at taxpayer expense and in violation of the law.
Google owns and controls public policy manipulation companies, or has management and/or directive control of: Jigsaw, New American Foundation, IN-Q-Tel and other groups which seek to covertly alter laws and political actions at the expense of citizens.
Public reports have stated that: “Larry and Eric Schmidt have spent more time in the White House, dictating policy decisions, and getting their friends appointed to federal agencies, than every Senator combined has spent in the ivory edifice. The Google boys also spent tens of millions of their dollars trying to pay to have the U.S. Patent Office closed off to the very same small inventors who are now coming after Google. (Google’s legal boss now runs the U.S. Patent Office. Ironic, right?) The overt attempts to drastically close off America’s path to innovation, seems to provide strong evidence that Google knew that it had stolen a good chunk of its assets. In fact, American FTC investigators wrote in federal reports that Google was “a threat to domestic innovation…”
The question is: How can an ostensibly criminal company be allowed to operate when it violates the laws and rights of every member of the public? Google is allowed to exist by laws. The law says that a corporation may exist as long as it does not regularly break these laws. Clearly, Google regularly breaks the law. Do the facts prove that Google has “no right to exist”? Should Google be raided by the FBI?

Founded in early 2008 as part of the pre-planned insider program to exploit the DOE ATVM funds, EcoMotors is commercializing an opposed-piston opposed-cylinder (OPOC) engine for use in cars, light trucks, commercial vehicles, aerospace, marine, agriculture, auxiliary power units, generators, etc. This engine was promoted to significantly improve fuel efficiency, and substantially reduce production costs when compared to convententional internal combustion engines.
The principal officers of EcoMotors are: Prof. Peter Hofbauer (chairman, chief technology officer and inventor of the OPOC engine), Donald Runkle (chief executive officer) and Amit Soman (president and chief operating officer).
In April 2013 EcoMotors announced a deal to have Chinese auto parts giant Zhongding Power build a $200 million factory in the Anhui Province in eastern China. The factory hoped to produce 150,000 OPOC engines per year, with a further site reserved to take production to 400,000.[1] The engineblocks will be made of CGI ( compacted graphite iron) and will be produced at a fully automated Zhongding foundry in Anhui by a licence from Sintercast of Sweden which is the world leader in CGI-technology. The production was first annonced to commence in 2014 but is now delayed to the second half of 2015. [2]
OPOC engine
Gobron-Brillié opposed-piston engine from 1900, which the OPOC engine’s basic design emulates.
Opposed piston engines have been manufactured using one, two and three crankshafts. However, the first opposed piston engine produced was by the French company Gobron-Brillié in 1900. The engine had one crankshaft and is very similar in concept to the EcoMotors OPOC engine design, except using a camshaft and valves. In 1903 a Gobron-Brillié car powered by the opposed piston engine was the first car ever to reach 100 mph.
The OPOC engine can be moduled with two, or more, engines coupled via an electric clutch between engines. When more power is needed the second engine is clutched in. When clutched out of service there are no friction or pumping losses from the second engine module. This arrangement in city running vehicles could have a small, highly economical engine as the prime engine and when accelerating hard, or pulling heavy loads, the second, or more, engines are clutched into service.[4]
Global Boycott of Tesla Motors Called For. “Tesla’s Price of Corruption and Lies Should Be The End Of Tesla!”
By The MoveOn Choice Alliance
Oligarch pretty-boy Elon Musk continues to rage on with his hubris, egomania, and utter disrespect for ethics and the law.
H e has been sued for fraud by his investors, co-founders, partners, suppliers, wives, employees and customers. He has lost “Lemon Law” lawsuits for the numerous defects in his cars. He has been caught in nearly a hundred lies about his cars, lies about the safety of his cars, and the political bribes involved in financing his Tesla/Space-X/Solar City government mooch programs. His cars seem to spend more time exploding into flames than they do operating safely.
If you are a Tom Perkins-like billionaire who has publicly stated that poor people are “Nazi’s” for not respecting the superior class status of Elon Musk and their bank vaults, then this call to action will fall on deaf ears.
If you are a normal person who was raised with a hint of ethics, then you will join the boycott and show that criminally evil operations like Tesla no longer deserve the right to operate in public commerce.
A credible government safety investigation of Tesla Motors has NEVER been conducted. Musk bribed officials to halt the investigations before they were concluded because he knew Tesla could never pass a fair, unbiased review.
Don’t buy a Tesla. Put warning signs and notes on any Tesla you see. Stop your friends from buying them. Send a message to these dirty companies that those who are birthed in corruption will expire in shame. Demand that the Department of Justice appoint a “Special Prosecutor” to review the Tesla case on public television.
Put the brakes on Tesla’s and Musk’s empire of corruption.

Investigators Charge Google Department Of Energy Project With Fraud. Say it is not possible for it to have cost $2.2 Billion
“A bunch of mass-produced curved metal reflectors and a few water towers in the desert could not possibly have cost over $400M”say investigators.. “Where did the other one billion dollars go!?…”
By Dale Winton – LA Digital News
Los Angeles – The Department of Energy Cleantech Crash funds, from the ill-fated reign of Steven Chu as Secretary of Energy, have long been rumored to have been part of an epic campaign financing payola scheme.
Google is now known to have staffed a large portion of the Obama Administration, particularly the White House. Google is the big player behind the, now under-scrutiny, Ivanpah Solar company.
Funds from the disastrous and sketchy Department of Energy programs brought the public the $523M taxpayer loss of FBI-raided Solyndra Solar Company.
The concept is simple and based on burning ants to death with a magnifying glass. Ivanpah pitched the idea of focusing the sun on a tank to make the tank hot.
While the concept is known to every elementary school child, the engineering for Ivanpah seems to have been done by elementary school engineers. A proper review of Ivanpah would have shown that it never would have worked. Very simple computer models, before Ivanpah even broke ground, proved that it had no possibility of properly generating efficient electricity, yet it was still funded and built while missing every milestone along the way. While the Department of Energy PR office has long held that “complete due diligence was conducted on the Ivanpah project”, it appears that the only “due diligence” that the Department of Energy conducted was to diligently make certain that only campaign financiers got the taxpayer payola cash.
Former workers from the Ivanpah project, turned whistle-blowers, say they are now embarrassed to have been a part of the failed scheme.
Ivanpah did not launch on time and never hit its production milestones. Outside standard generators have had to be hauled in to Ivanpah to fake up the energy output. Numerous staff have quit. The only thing that Ivanpah does well is kill birds and tortoises and blind pilots and satellites.
Investigators now believe that the missing billion dollars was forwarded to a certain political campaign for the 2016 Presidency.
Investigators believe that padded receipts, “NO-BID CONTRACTS AND TRUMPED-UP COSTS WERE USED TO INFLATE THE STATED COST WHILE SKIMMING FUNDS OFF TO SPECIAL PARTIES…”
“…AN “ON-PUBLIC-RECORD” COMPLETE FORENSIC AUDIT OF THE ENTIRE PROJECT IS CALLED FOR, IN ADVANCE OF THE…” November Elections.
Google’s Ivanpah Crony-Funded Project Seeks Ways To Fake Energy Output After Already Faking Output with Outside Generators
Obama-Backed Solar Plant Could Be Shut Down For Not Producing Enough Energy
By Michael Bastasch
California regulators may force a massive solar thermal power plant in the Mojave Desert to shut down after years of under-producing electricity — not to mention the plant was blinding pilots flying over the area and incinerating birds.
The Ivanpah solar plant could be shut down if state regulators don’t give it more time to meet electricity production promises it made as part of its power purchase agreements with utilities, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Ivanpah, which got a $1.6 billion loan guarantee from the Obama administration, only produced a fraction of the power state regulators expected it would. The plant only generated 45 percent of expected power in 2014 and only 68 percent in 2015, according to government data.
And it does all this at a cost of $200 per megawatt hour — nearly six times the cost of electricity from natural gas-fired power plants. Interestingly enough, Ivanpah uses natural gas to supplement its solar production.
These disappointing results at high prices could be the solar plant’s undoing. California Energy Commission regulators hoped the plant would help the state get 33 percent of its electricity from green sources, but now the plant could be shut down for not meeting its production promises.
Ivanpah — which is owned by BrightSource Energy, NRG Energy and Google — uses more than 170,000 large mirrors, or heliostats, to reflect sunlight towards water boilers set atop 450-foot towers that create steam to turn giant turbines and generate electricity.
The plant was financed by $1.6 billion in loan guarantees from the Department of Energy in 2011. When the solar plant opened in 2014, it was hailed as a great achievement by Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz.
“This project speaks for itself,” Moniz said when the project went online in early 2014. “Just look at the 170,000 shining heliostat mirrors and the three towers that would dwarf the Statue of Liberty.”
“Ivanpah is the largest solar thermal energy facility in the world with 392 MW of capacity — meaning it can produce enough renewable electricity to power nearly 100,000 homes,” Moniz said.
NRG Energy said the plant had only produced about one-quarter of its expected output in the months after it opened. The company needed an infusion of cash to help keep the project afloat.
That was only the beginning of the company’s problems. Environmentalists quickly attacked the project for killing thousands of birds since it opened. Many birds were incinerated by the intense heat being reflected off Ivanpah’s heliostats.
“Forensic Lab staff observed a falcon or falcon-like bird with a plume of smoke arising from the tail as it passed through the flux field,” according to a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service report from 2014.
“Immediately after encountering the flux, the bird exhibited a controlled loss of stability and altitude but was able to cross the perimeter fence before landing,” FWS reported.

Pilots have also reported seeing a “nearly blinding” glare emanating from Ivanpah while flying over the solar plant. The Sandia National Laboratory reported in 2014 Ivanpah was “sufficient to cause significant ocular impact (potential for after-image) up to a distance of ~6 miles.”
“At distances greater than ~6 miles (10 km), a low potential for after-image exists from the heliostat glare as a result of the reduced retinal irradiance and subtended angles,” Sandia reported. “It should be noted that two of the authors who were in the helicopter qualitatively confirmed these results after observing the glare. The pilot acknowledged that the glare was very bright, but he also stated that it did not impair his flying ability since he was aware of the glare and avoided looking in that direction when flying over [Ivanpah].”
Update: California regulators announced Thursday that Ivanpah would have until the end of July to produce more power or face shut down.
IVANPAH SOLAR SOLYNDRA-LIKE PROJECT IN CALIFORNIA FOUND TO BE CRONY KICK-BACK SCAM.
ENERGY DEPT. BEGS THEM NOT TO GO OUT OF BUSINESS WHILE THEIR BENEFACTOR OBAMA IS STILL IN OFFICE
TECHNOLOGY FAILED SO BAD THAT OUTSIDE OLD-SCHOOL GENERATORS HAD TO BE TRUCKED IN TO FAKE THE ENERGY OUTPUT
MISSED EVERY MILESTONE
THOUGHT TO BE A MATERIALS AND STOCK MARKET SKIM SCAM
GOOGLE, AS BOTH OBAMA FINANCIER AND PAYOLA RECIPIENT DEEP IN THE MIX
As warned by this paper and many others, years before Ivanpah broke ground or fried any birds, the technical numbers for Ivanpah make no sense and could not have passed Department of Energy “Due Diligence” unless a kick-back scheme was underway. The technical facts showed, back then, that Ivanpah could never succeed.
The “give us some more time” plea by Ivanpah is actually a plea from the Obama offices to “Please not go belly up on my watch.”
Cloudy days for solar thermal
by Drew Thornley
“$2.2 billion California project generates 40% of expected electricity” This past weekend’s Wall Street Journal has some unsurprising news about solar-thermal technology. Excerpts to follow, but, in short: It’s very expensive to build, it doesn’t deliver nearly the amount of projected power, and it kills birds: The $2.2 billion Ivanpah solar power project in California’s Mojave Desert is supposed to be generating more than a million megawatt-hours of electricity each year. But 15 months after starting up, the plant is producing just 40% of that, according to data from the U.S. Energy Department.
Built by BrightSource Energy Inc. and operated by NRG Energy Inc., Ivanpah has been advertised as more reliable than a traditional solar panel farm, in part, because it more closely resembles conventional power plants that burn coal or natural gas. NRG co-owns the plant with Google Inc. and other investors. Turns out, there is a lot more to go wrong with the new technology. Replacing broken equipment and learning better ways to operate the complex assortment of machinery has stalled Ivanpah’s ability to reach full potential, said Randy Hickok, a senior vice president at NRG. One big miscalculation was that the power plant requires far more steam to run smoothly and efficiently than originally thought, according to a document filed with the California Energy Commission. Instead of ramping up the plant each day before sunrise by burning one hour’s worth of natural gas to generate steam, Ivanpah needs more than four times that much help from fossil fuels to get the plant humming every morning. Another “unexpected” problem: not enough sun. Weather predictions for the area underestimated the amount of cloud cover that has blanketed Ivanpah since it went into service in 2013. Ivanpah isn’t the only new solar-thermal project struggling to energize the grid. A large mirror-powered plant built in Arizona almost two years ago by Abengoa SA of Spain has also had its share of hiccups. Designed to deliver a million megawatt hours of power annually, the plant is putting out roughly half that, federal data show. Solar-thermal developers including Abengoa and BrightSource continue to build new plants in South Africa, Chile and China.
But Lucas Davis, an economics professor at the University of California, Berkeley, says it is unlikely more U.S. projects will gain traction as utilities opt for cheaper solar farms that use panels. “I don’t expect a lot of solar thermal to get built. It’s just too expensive,” he said. American solar farms generate nearly 16 million megawatt-hours of electricity each year. That satisfies less than 1% of U.S. electricity demand, but six times the amount of power that solar-thermal plants currently produce. And the vast arrays of solar panels that blanket the ground cost roughly half as much to build as new mirror-powered plants, according to the U.S. Energy Department. Electricity prices from new solar farms average around 5 cents a kilowatt-hour, according to GTM Research, which tracks renewable energy markets. That compares with between 12 and 25 cents a kilowatt-hour for electricity generated by the Ivanpah power plant, state and federal data show. The Ivanpah plant was delayed several months and had millions of dollars in cost overruns because of wildlife protections for the endangered Desert Tortoise. Once built, U.S. government biologists found the plant’s superheated mirrors were killing birds. In April, biologists working for the state estimated that 3,500 birds died at Ivanpah in the span of a year, many of them burned alive while flying through a part of the solar installment where air temperatures can reach 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit.

Department of Energy Executives and their campaign financiers engaged in attacks against the public in order to control the solar and “green car” markets
Some of the things you see in Jason Bourne action movies turn out to be real. Federal and state employees ran retribution campaigns against applicants who competed with inside deals they had set up to line their own pockets at taxpayer expense.
These corrupt politicians thought they could take over an estimated six trillion dollar “Cleantech” industry that was being created to exploit new marketing opportunities around global warming and middle east disruption. After an epic number of Solyndra-esque failures, all owned by the Department of Energy Executives and their campaign financiers, the scheme fell apart. The non crony applicants suffered the worst fates. As CBS News reporter Cheryl Attkisson has reported, the willingness to engage in media “hitjobs” was only exceeded by the audacity with which Department of Energy officials employed such tactics.
Now, in a number of notorious trials, including the Hulk Hogan lawsuit, the public will get to see the depths to which public officials are willing to stoop to cheat rather than compete in the open market.
Department of Energy Executives and their campaign financiers engaged in the following documented attacks against applicants who were competing with their personal stock holdings:
Applicants employers were called, and faxed, and ordered to fire applicants from their places of employment, in the middle of the day, with no notice, as a retribution tactic.
Applicants HR and employment records, on recruiting and hiring databases, were embedded with negative keywords in order to prevent them from gaining future employment.
Disability and VA hearings and benefits were frozen, delayed, denied or subjected to lost records and “missing hard drives” as in the Lois Lerner case.
Paypal and other on-line payments for on-line sales were delayed, hidden, or re-directed in order to terminate income potential for applicants who competed with DOE interests and holdings.
DNS redirection, website spoofing which sent applicants websites to dead ends and other Internet activity manipulations were conducted.
Campaign finance dirty tricks contractors IN-Q-Tel, Think Progress, Media Matters, Gawker Media, Syd Blumenthal, etc., were hired by DOE Executives and their campaign financiers to attack applicants who competed with DOE executives stocks and personal assets.
Covert DOE partner: Google, transfered 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 applicants by many magnitudes.
Honeytraps and moles were employed by the attackers.
McCarthy-Era “Black-lists” were created and employed against applicants who competed with DOE executives and their campaign financiers to prevent them from funding and future employment.
and many other forms of vengeance and retribution.
Applicants have joined together to demand justice. See more at:

There is a company called XP VEHICLES ( see http://departmentofenergyoverwatch.wordpress.com/ ) They created the fastest, lowest cost, safest, easiest to build, easiest to drive electric vehicles. They were asked by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to apply for the Advanced Technology Vehicle Manufacturing (ATVM) funding in order to roll their car out for high volume orders for consumers and the Department of Defense.

As the deadline passed, the DOE official immediately responded and sstated: “Ohhh, you missed the deadline, too late.” It was an intentional and contrived stonewalling attempt by DOE staff.
Tesla Motors told Scale VC that “If XP ever gets going, Tesla will cease to exist”
XP sued the Department of Energy, Steven Chu and Lachlan Seward (the DOE funding head) personally, for racketeering and corruption based on eye-witness experience, law enforcement evidence and reporter leaks. In one lawsuit, the first judge stated that they could not find a law that prevented the Department of Energy from engaging in corruption. This determination is often found to be very disturbing to most voters, and is thought to be typical of the kind of corruption prosecution avoidance that is driving outsiders like Trump and Sanders to the top of the Presidential campaigns. Follow-on lawsuits, demands for federal RICO charges and the demand for the provision of a Special Prosecutor by DOJ, continue. The story is far from over…
So that is how the U.S. Department of Energy works.

California State Offices Receive Ominous Warning From Investigators
Sacramento, California – The heads of California State offices received ominous warnings this week.
They have been advised to warn their staffs that they will be caught, and held personally liable, for the destruction of documents in pending, and up-coming corruption cases. They are being told that they could have all of their cash, and their homes, taken away as they are dragged off to federal prison.
Hillary Clinton’s email server and Lois Lerner’s disappearing hard drive have delivered a new reality to the California political scene: Corrupt Politicians Are No Longer Safe!
The media has now widely acknowledged that federal law enforcement has had senior State officials and their staff under surveillance for quite some time. Recent California arrests of Senators, lobbyists and top State executives should leave California politicos, all the way down to the secretary level, shivering in their boots.
It is worse than they thought, though.
Not only has federal law enforcement had most of the State officials under surveillance, the Chinese and Russian hackers have been transcribing their indiscretions too. But it gets even worse. In 2007, California politicians made some felonious kick-back deals with the financiers and owners of Google, Tesla and Kleiner Perkins. They put their boy, Steven Chu, in charge of the U.S. Department of Energy where he exclusively, and criminally, handed the California politicians one of the largest payola skims in U.S. history. When Solyndra got FBI-raided, and all of their “Green” companies were “mysteriously” forced into bankruptcy, the scam began to dry up, and many of the assets of those companies just happen to have been sold to China. China was watching from day one and may have steered the spoils of the collateral damage to themselves.
So China has had copies of every file and email of agencies, and their staff, in California. Russia, who will never allow China to one-up them, got in at about the same time and Hoover-ed up clones of the same files and data. At the same time the feds were making copies. It is really quite easy to hack all of California politics. Everybody had, and still has today, the keys to the back-doors in all of their servers.
So, now, in 2016, many, many people have copies of all of the State and personal files and emails of California political bosses and their staff. On top of that, you had guys like “Guccifer” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guccifer) cherry picking the fun stuff on their own. So, sitting out on the internet, there are now many copies of who was naughty in California from 2007 to today.
Does it sound bad so far? If you were one of those corrupt politicians, it gets far worse.
Now, in 2016, the FBI, consumer groups and a variety of small companies, that had political hit-jobs put on them by these corrupt politicians, are filing civil and criminal lawsuits, indictments and arrests are being made.
If you were the junior secretary of the Controller of the State of California and the Controller of the State of California was your boss and he told you to delete emails, destroy hard drives and erase files, THEY NEVER GOT ERASED. China, Russia, the feds and the hackers have clones of everything and they know what is missing. Most of those parties will gladly sell you, on the darknet, any of those “Lois Lerner’d” hard drives, or deleted emails, about putting the Solyndra payola cash in Aunt Nellies trust fund in order to hide it from the investigators. Ooops!
You can run but you cannot hide!

The United States Department of Energy defrauded hundreds of American companies and tens of thousands of domestic workers
By EVPI
Just prior to President Obama’s election, United States Department of Energy officials made arrangements with Silicon Valley campaign financing billionaires to exclusively hand them hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars in exchange for their support. They made this deal illegally and at the expense of a huge number of American companies, employees and future jobs.
The cover-up has grown so thin, and has become so laughably obvious, that the American public has anointed the most hell-raiser candidates, for the White House in 2016. The voters overtly want an end to this kind of horrific political crony corruption. They are calling in a mandate to end this kind of public policy crime.
The kick-back scheme involved a process called “hard-wiring”. In this political crony payola scam, the Department of Energy created a carve-out of the U.S. Treasury called the “ATVM Fund”. Only the Silicon Valley billionaires best friend, one Mr. Steven Chu, had control over the distribution of that taxpayer cash. In a shockingly blatant and audacious act, Steven Chu only gave the taxpayer money to his friends and business partners. Those friends and business partners were also the very people who lobbied to put him in charge of the Department of Energy. They also turned out to be the very same people who skimmed off the top of those taxpayer dollars and took wind-fall “unjust gains” profits by “cooking the books” with tax write-offs when all of Chu’s friends sham companies went belly up.
It was a crime of historical proportions.
The very guy who was charged with arresting Mr. Chu, the U.S. Attorney General: Eric Holder, turns out to have been business partner with all of Chu’s associates.
During the course of this crime, the United States Department of Energy (DOE) defrauded hundreds of American companies and tens of thousands of domestic workers by inviting them to spin their wheels applying for those fake “ATVM Funds”. Huge numbers of non-insider technology companies spent millions of dollars and years of their time under-going artificially created hurdles and endless decision stonewalling by The Department of Energy. These outsider and indie companies lost billions of dollars because the United States Department of Energy put “hit jobs” on them.
From day one of the application process DOE’s Steven Chu, Lachlan Seward, Matt Rogers, Carol Battershel, Steve Silver, Steve Spinner, Alison Spinner and the rest of the “DOE WEASAL PACK”, as they have come to be known, knew that not a single one of the non-crony applicants had even the most remote chance of receiving the Department of Energy funding. The money had been secretly hard-wired for John Doerr, Elon Musk, Eric Schmidt, Solyndra and other crony Silicon Valley campaign financiers.
These many domestic companies were lied to, deceived, defrauded and jerked around until they could no longer survive. At the time, the national venture capitol funds were also entirely controlled by Steven Chu’s business partners. Elon Musk’s marketing head: Darryl Siry, quit Tesla, in disgust, and penned an article in the national news disclosing how the Department of Energy had rigged the market to be the gate-keeper of who got to play. Bright Automotive issued a public letter disclosing the racket, XP Vehicles sued the Department of Energy for corruption and racketeering and the U.S. Senate ethics committee issued a scathing report on the wholesale crime culture that pervaded the energy department. Steven Chu, and his mobster-like technology Cartel, sabotaged and destroyed some of the nation’s greatest innovators, simply because their products were better than his buddies products.
Voters, this is the America you have allowed to happen. This rampant criminality, at one of the largest agencies in America, is corruption at it’s deepest and darkest. In 2016, you get to chose if this is how you want your hard-earned money managed. Make the right choice this time around.

Other publications have referred to Nick Denton as an “accused pedophile”. They appear to be referring to the fact that Nick Denton has been parading a man around who he says is his “legal husband”, Denton’s association with the British Pedophile Scandal and friends of head-pedophile Epstein, the many blogs by young boys who Denton abused, the news articles about the young boy who claims that Denton pried his butt cheeks open and drove his penis into his rectum followed by having the lad take his ejaculation in his mouth (That boy put a brick through Denton’s window, according to news publications). Denton, himself has admitted to his homosexual cravings in national media.
While the intern lawsuits and sexual scandals of Denton may be making top slots in the tabloids, that isn’t the top story with Denton. There is so much more.
The notorious Silicon Valley attack rag, a facade of Denton’s, called ValleyWag, was shut down. Valleywag relied on naive young 22-somethings to write up the dirt they could find on the insane, misogynistic, intern-raping, anti-black frat house Silicon Valley billionaires. They did what they were supposed to do but they dug to long and too deep and they woke the Balrog.
Alas, for the starving interns, it turned out to be a case of Biting the Hand That Feeds.
Denton shut ValleyWag down and fired most of those starving 22-somethings, who were under the impression that they were doing exactly what they were supposed to be doing. That didn’t go over well with the 22-somethings. As with other intern disasters at Gawker Media, the interns revolted and are now spilling the beans on Nick Denton.
It turns out, ValleyWag was beating up on the very people that Nick Denton was paid by. Denton decided ValleyWag had to die. The naive interns were finding out too much about the pack of dogs that Denton shared his bowl with.
After years of network metric analysis, a detailed archive of Gawker editorial content and publishing charts and the loose lips of some very pissed-off former interns and employees, the truth is out on Denton and it is bigger than his buggering. TAKI Magazine began the age of exposure on Denton with a flaming screed on Denton. Over 7 concurrent lawsuits against him, and Gawker Media, with even bigger litigation on the way, blew the flames into an inferno.
The reality turns out to be that Nick Denton’s Gawker Media is a front for a certain group of extremist left-wing billionaire campaign financiers, but Denton takes orders directly from The White House for the hit jobs and character assassination articles he runs against Obama’s enemies.
John Doerr, Elon Musk, Tom Steyer, Eric Schmidt, Steve Jurvetson and the other insane billionaires of Silicon Valley conduit cash to Denton, who sends it to his Cayman Islands accounts, who launder it through HSBC and other off-shore tax evasion routes, who send it into PACS as campaign contributions. In fact Larry Page and Eric Schmidt are now under investigation, by numerous entities around the world, for tax evasion. Already in those investigations, it has been shown, on financial records that tens of millions of dollars from Google accounts were transferred to Gawker Media. Google says that the money was “just for advertising, blogging services and outreach” but it is now clear that Google was conduit-ing cash for White House hit-jobs.
The head of EBAY funds the White House. Now Denton has stated that Gawker is moving into his New York offices and will become a “political journal”. This has to be the biggest joke of the century. All Gawker ever did was publish covert political screed shrouded by rudimentary two-headed baby supermarket tabloid stories, designed to act as cover for Gawker’s true purpose: to kill people’s brands and careers on the say so of the White House.
Denton and Silicon Valley spread some of their character assassins around to their other left-wing extremist media outlets. Denton’s cabin-boy character assassin: Adrian Covert was sent to CNN MONEY to help direct business attacks against GOP business owners and to help glorify White House mooch Elon Musk. Nick Cook was sent to control Glen Greenwald’s THE INTERCEPT. (He was soon fired, though, when Greenwald realized he was a planted shill)
The FBI, The SEC and Interpol, along with international anti-trust and tax evasion investigators, have a new-found interest in Denton. The EU is keenly interested in his relationship with the deeply hated Google. More potently, a number of lawsuits are flowing, like a tsunami, at Denton. Most interesting is the Hulk Hogan lawsuit. It appears that Gawker set Hogan up in a hidden camera sex video sting in order to kill his brand and prevent him from becoming a spokesperson for a candidate in the 2016 elections. This lawsuit is very important to Hulk Hogan and, also the Entire GOP administration.
Denton has openly stated that the Hogan lawsuit alone could wipe out Gawker.
What Denton means, though, is not so much that a court award to Hulk Hogan will financially wipe out Gawker Media, and Denton, but that the revelations that will come out in the Hogan trail, or over 9 other follow-on law suits, will expose the emails, texts, HSBC records and phone dockets that prove that the White House and the most famous names in Silicon Valley put kill orders out on American taxpayers.
Can you spell F-E-L-O-N-Y ?
So you have interns ratting out Denton, The EU investigating, boy sex slaves, Hulk Hogan and more, but guess who is going to put the nails in Denton’s coffin? Denton himself!
Meet a hacker known as “Guccifer”. This bored Romanian blue collar guy found out that almost every network and email system in the world could be hacked with a very simple trick.
If you think Edward Snowden and Julian Assange are the king of the leakers, you are wrong. They have nothing on old Guccifer. Deriving his name from a combo of fancy fashion designer Gucci and the devil himself: Lucifer; he has truly opened the gates of hell on the rich and famous.
Guccifer got into everything. He created the Hillary Clinton email scandal. He got into the Bohemian Club. He E-raped the elite of Silicon Valley and he ravaged Washington DC’s top staffers and the press offices of the great and mighty. Not only did he go in and get all of this stuff, he left the doors opened and other hackers followed him through those golden doors, including Russia and China. So everybody that hates Denton, and his handlers, now has all of their own inside emails proving the crimes. Guccifer proved that an “Illuminati-like” conspiracy of rich buddies actually exists. He found his targets because they were all communicating with each other. Sid Blumenthal would be talking to Hillary and so he went over and look at Hillary’s stuff. Hillary was talking to John Doerr so he went over and looked at John Doerr’s stuff, and on and on. They all were in an incest-ridden little corruption club.
They all, stupidly, cross-coordinated their little plots via email, or their associates did. The web was tight and the members were only a few hundred strong. With Outlook and Thunderbird email systems, tracking message adjacencies with only a few hundred folks is a very simple task.
Silicon Valley venture capitalist John Doerr has been hacked by Guccifer and had his Kleiner Perkin’s office broken into by a “state sponsored agency”. 60 Minutes did an episode called The Cleantech Crash. This news broadcast began to reveal that a handful of Silicon Valley men had put their friends in charge of the U.S. Department of Energy. The Energy Department plants by John Doerr, and his buddies, handed Doerr, and his buddies, hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars exclusively. Anybody who tried to compete with them, or rat them out, got a hit-job put on them by Gawker Media. That hit job was ordered by the White House press office, paid for by the Silicon Valley Cartel and delivered by Nick Denton’s Gawker Media empire, each and every time.
A historical web analysis shows lock-step synchronization between the Gawker hit-jobs, White House enemies lists and perceived slights by White House “enemies”. CBS News Cheryl Attkisson has deeply documented these hit jobs and many other network news teams have deeply documented evidence they are able to share which confirms the ordered character assassinations.
While this may sound like a complicated story. It is actually quite simple.
Let’s review:
Nick Denton works for the White House and their Silicon Valley billionaires. Nick Denton wants his twisted anal sex but, more than that, he wants to damage others. He gets paid to damage others, via Silicon Valley campaign finance billionaires. All the bads guys in Denton’s club got ratted out by their own employees and emails. Now Denton is the one about to get pounded in the ass.
-The famous economic fiasco that brought America the spectacular failures of Solyndra, Ener1, Fisker, Abound, and many more, cost taxpayers trillions in losses
Charges in a law enforcement “Demand for Prosecution Notice” tell the inside story:
“Multiple individuals who had an acrimonious relationship with defendants suddenly turned up dead, while being in perfect health the day prior. Most of them had recently reported misdeeds by the defendants. Their friends and families have publicly implied that they were murdered to keep them quiet. Financial, covert stock exchanges, witness, surveillance and communications records prove this.
A multi-million dollar character assassination, defamation and economic sabotage program was undertaken by the defendants against plaintiffs. Defendants used Gawker Media, Google and In-Q-Tel/New America Foundation to operate these attacks. Defendants had a financial and political interest in Gawker Media, Google and In-Q-Tel/NAF. Gawker Media, Google and In-Q-Tel/NAF shared staff and executives with defendants. Gawker Media, Google and In-Q-Tel/NAF conduited campaign funding to the defendants. Staff from Gawker Media, Google and In-Q-Tel/NAF are still employed by the defendants, and continue to operate the attacks. Gawker Media, Google and In-Q-Tel/NAF and defendants have cross promoted each other in the media and in government negotiations in self-dealing arrangements. Google and In-Q-Tel have conduited billions of dollars of campaign financing, stock, search manipulation and other assets to a huge numbers of Senators, agency heads, law enforcement bosses, Sacramento administrative officials and White House staff. Financial, covert stock exchanges, witness, surveillance and communications records prove this. Plaintiffs engaged in a five year electronic “sting-operation” which has generated electronic data which also proves the hacks, internet manipulations, DNS re-routing and other electronic portions of the attacks by defendants. The FBI, NSA, DIA, and other agencies, have similar data evidence.
Defendants ordered their staff to manipulate, hide, shred, sabotage, stone-wall or take no action on grant, contract and proposal applications, by plaintiffs, while at the same time promoting and approving inferior proposals for inferior competing products owned by the defendants Cartel. Financial, covert stock exchanges, witness, surveillance and communications records prove this.
The FBI raided one of the defendants assets. Multiple investigation agencies have found, in the records of that asset, ownership, stock manipulation and government contract corruption which traces directly back to the defendants. Financial, covert stock exchanges, witness, surveillance and communications records prove this.
Goldman Sachs has been charged with multiple crimes, against U.S. citizens, by the U.S. Government and state investigators. Goldman Sachs had the key banking relationship and financial strategy role for almost every defendant and made many billions of dollars, at taxpayer expense, off of misdeeds, in this case, by defendants. Goldman Sachs, and their mouthpiece promotion agencies Deloitte and McKinsey consulting, who also staffed the defendants, claimed that their scheme, in published white papers and news reports, circulated in Washington, DC and Sacramento, California, would lead to “Trillions of dollars in exclusive profits” for the Cartel. In is not inconceivable to comprehend how defendants may have engaged in murders, bribery, character assassination and other crimes in order to gain over a trillion dollars of corrupt profits. Financial, covert stock exchanges, witness, surveillance and communications records prove this.
Defendants placed “moles” (people who covertly worked for defendants) inside of plaintiffs companies in order to sabotage plaintiffs efforts and report internal business intelligence data back to defendants which they could use to damage, or circumvent plaintiffs. One defendant: Kliener Perkins, is known to have placed multiple moles. Financial, covert stock exchanges, witness, surveillance and communications records prove this.
California Controller Bill Lockyer, and State Tax Officials, rigged exclusive tax waivers and tax kick-backs for defendants while denying those same favors for plaintiffs. Over 12 California state agencies also gave defendant-controlled, side-by-side, crony corruption schemes: Tesla and Solyndra, hundreds of millions of dollars of political favors while denying those same resources to plaintiffs. Financial, covert stock exchanges, witness, surveillance and communications records prove this. California State Officials worked with Senator Diane Feinstein to promulgate these kick-back deals, in which the Feinsteins operated multiple criminal conflicts of interest leading them to tens of millions of dollars in ill-gotten profit. Senator Feinstein, personally, order the sabotage of some plaintiffs to protect her profiteering scam in this Cartel.
The defendants owned and controlled, through shell companies, false charities and front groups mining contracts in countries that were being invaded by the U.S. The defendants promoted acceleration of war efforts in order to profiteer on the chemicals, mined from those war ravaged countries, for exploitation In Tesla and Solyndra under the guise of: “It’s for “green products” don’t question it”; in order to “sucker” taxpayers.
Defendants made hundreds of millions of dollars in profits by skimming cash off the top of incoming government grant and loan money and, duplicitously, also taking tax profits when those same companies went bankrupt. Agency enforcement officers, who were supposed to prosecute all of the crimes listed herein, held stock profits in many of the defendants companies and had a vested interest in seeing plaintiffs fail.
Defendant Elon Musk is documented as having engaged in multiple financial crimes, stock market manipulations, state and federal documentation lies and illegal campaign finance payola. State and federal officials have ordered a “hands-off” protection racket for Musk because his poor control of his hubris is known to be capable of easily linking all of the defendants together. Financial, covert stock exchanges, witness, surveillance and communications records prove this. “
While the document goes on, at great length, documenting additional charges, the point is clear. Even without this clear summation, any member of the public can peruse news stories from 2007 to 2010 to see that all of these events did, indeed, happen and draw the connections to make these charges highly credible.
Federal Judge Issues Landmark Ruling on Cronyism in Energy Loan Guarantee Program
Ruling marks the first time a court has allowed a claim under the Administrative Procedure Act on the basis of cronyism or political favoritism in federal discretionary spending.
In response to a legal complaint filed by Cause of Action (CoA), a federal judge has declared that U.S. Department of Energy discretionary spending tainted by alleged cronyism and political favoritism is subject to legal challenge. Read the Opinion Here Read the Order Here
Cause of Action represents XP Vehicles (XPV) and Limnia, two green energy companies that were denied loans and a loan guarantee in favor of politically-connected corporations.
XPV is a now-dissolved company that had applied for a loan under the DOE’s Advanced Technology Vehicle Manufacturing (ATVM) Loan Program in order to manufacture a lightweight, energy-efficient sport utility vehicle. XPV partnered with Limnia, a company that developed an energy storage system to power XPV’s proposed vehicle. Limnia had applied for an ATVM loan, as well as a loan under DOE’s Section 1703 Loan Guarantee Program (LGP).
The ATVM Loan Program is designed to provide direct loans to manufacturers of energy-efficient vehicles, while the LGP allows the agency to guarantee loans for advanced technology projects that result in the avoidance or reduction of air pollutants. This is the same program that awarded Solyndra $535 million in taxpayer funds.
During and after the loan application process, XPV and Limnia learned that these loan programs were being run for the benefit of politically-connected insiders. For example, DOE provided application assistance to Tesla and Fisker that it refused to provide to XPV and Limnia (and others), and then large taxpayer-funded loans. A member of Tesla’s board, who was also a bundler during President Obama’s campaigns, was on a key DOE advisory board, and another bundler who was a Tesla investor and advisor had a primary role in the DOE’s Loan Program Office. In addition, individuals tied to Fisker had made large donations to the Obama campaign and other Democratic causes. Also, there were emails suggesting that the DOE’s review of a loan applicant was sped up as a result of pressure from then-House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer; that the White House made an effort to encourage DOE to hasten review of another loan application; and that DOE bent its own rules to play favorites. CoA also reliedupon two Government Accountability Office reports about these programs that highlighted the potential for abuse.
Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson on the United States District Court for the District of Columbia agreed with CoA, ruling that Limnia has adequately alleged that the DOE’s denials of Limnia’s ATVM Loan Program and LG Program applications were the result of arbitrary and capricious agency action in violation of the APA.
Judge Jackson has thereby allowed Limnia’s claims to proceed. This is significant because prior to this ruling, no court had ever held that cronyism or political favoritism could result in a grant or loan program being administered in an arbitrary and capricious manner. Cause of Action Executive Director Dan Epstein issued the following statement on the ruling:
“When politicians and agencies allow companies to purchase government access, the basic foundation of our free market economy is compromised. For the first time, a federal district court has confirmed there is a legal remedy when cronyism influences federal administrative discretionary spending. This groundbreaking opinion establishes that the government owes everyone – not just Presidential campaign donors – a fair shake when awarding government funds. Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s common-sense judgment that government decisions tainted by cronyism and political favoritism are ‘arbitrary and capricious’ is a victory for individuals and businesses everywhere.”

In hindsight, the latest FBI, GAO and Congressional investigations tell a tale of horrific abuse of the public trust. Let’s take a look:
It’s about CRIME Not About Politics. This case has nothing to do with political parties.
It is entirely about organized crime and the theft of federal funds.
The facts, herein, can be researched and verified using the most rudimentary of law enforcement or journalism investigation skills. This site is an aggregation of published news articles and reports, which document the crime. So far, every corrupt individual has been identified and placed under investigation. 90% of those person’s have now been forced to quit their state and federal jobs. A number of their companies and funds have been terminated. Some parties have been arrested. Procedures have been changed so that they can never do what they did, using those tactics, again. Over 10,000 news stories have been released, by main stream news sources, documenting the criminal incidents. Additional interdiction productivity is expected.
Former Bright Automotive Staffer: “.. The Department of Energy defrauded hundreds of America companies by participating in the solicitation of those companies for DOE funding programs while DOE officials had already planned, in advance, to not give any of those applicants any funds, and to blockade those applicants in order to favor a handful of campaign backer’s companies.
DOE falsified reviews and data and violated federal process in order to provide kick-backs to favored companies.
The companies that were abused were encouraged to expend their own funds, irreparable work hours and work years and their market opportunities based on false promises and political manipulations secretly, and illegally, arranged by DOE executives and other federal officials, in violation of the law and in violation of common moral principles. These applicants were targeted, manipulated and maliciously damaged for purposes of political corruption. The DOE, and other investigative entities, refuse to hold a public hearing, to confront these issues, in order to maintain a cover-up of the facts… .”

“…Working with federal executives, a group of Silicon Valley men formed a cartel and ran an organized crime kickback scheme which cost the taxpayers billions of dollars and which broke numerous felony laws. They have been protected, up to this point, but the evidence against them is now over-whelming. Recent whistle-blower documents from th
e Snowden, Sony, HSBC and other investigation sources, has only served to additionally validate the charges. Hundreds of credible witnesses, and investigators, are prepared to go before any Special Prosecutor, Federal Court or network news broadcast and verify all of the facts. It is time for action and an end to the cover-ups…”
” Department of Energy officials, essentially, sabotaged a number of American technology companies in order to clear the decks for their crony friends, who they had direct, and documented, financial and political relations with…” – Zap Automotive Manager
This site documents the set of events that took place, that hundreds of investigators at agencies, news groups and special task forces have now confirmed. This is for legal teams and investigators working on this matter. The purpose of this website is to demand that a non-secret Federal Special Prosecutor be assigned to investigate this case and to seek justice for the many applicant/victims who were intentionally targeted, sabotaged and terminated by federal executives at the request of campaign backers. This published article about the matter provides a good high-level outline:
” A cartel rigged a U.S. Government funding program to exclusively benefit themselves financially and politically. It back-fired on them!
A large number of applicant’s were targeted and terminated by Steven Chu and his staff, at the request of campaign investors. The same set of tactics was used in every case. In every case, the applicants had a technology which competed with, and in most cases was better than, those campaign investors competing products.
This was a clear cut case of kickbacks and coordinated industrial market sabotage. Historical records have proven that ONLY campaign investors companies were funded; and that EVERY single non-campaign investor applicant was blockaded and manipulated into shut-down. The actions undertaken by Steven Chu, and his associates, constitute a felony violation of a number of laws and ethics standards.
The applicants are now seeking justice against the associated parties who assisted in the attacks.
The incident involves rigging energy industry minerals and supplies to benefit a select handful of billionaires who had taken control of the market for batteries and raw materials used by Tesla, Fisker, Solyndra and other notorious companies from this scandal.
Lithium ion batteries, when they burn, cause brain cancer, liver cancer and other, potentially lethal, toxic poisoning. Certain regulators are told to “ignore these issues” because certain lithium ion investors donated cash to certain campaigns. The chemicals for lithium ion batteries come from countries which needed to be invaded in order to monopolize the mining of those chemicals. Certain politicians are told to “ignore these issues” because certain lithium ion investors engaged in war profiteering in order to control those minerals. The FAA has issued numerous warnings and videos showing that lithium ion batteries do spontaneously self-ignite and crash airplanes. Numerous people have been killed in lithium ion plane crashes. Certain regulators are told to “ignore these issues” because certain lithium ion investors donated cash to certain campaigns. Flight MH370 was carrying tons of lithium ion batteries in it’s cargo hold.
Lithium ion batteries have self-ignited and set numerous children and senior citizens on fire. They have set homes on fire. They have set offices on fire. They have set Apple Stores on fire. You constantly hear about passenger airlines being forced to land because passengers “smell smoke in the cabin”. This is almost always a lithium ion battery going off in the cabin and exposing all of the passengers to it’s carcinogenic ignition vapors. There have been multiple recalls of Tesla for fires including the battery charger cord setting homes on fire and the need for an entire titanium add-on plate to cover the whole underside of the Tesla. Tesla’s have now been involved in many deaths.
Silicon Valley investors took over the lithium ion battery market, along with Goldman Sachs (recently called before Congress for this very same “commodity manipulation”), because they knew they were getting large government hand-outs from the Department of Energy in exchange for campaign contributions.
Lithium ion batteries lose their power and memory over a relatively short time. Lithium ion batteries blow up when they get wet or bumped. Fisker Motors went out of business when millions of dollars of Fisker cars, using lithium ion batteries, got wet and all blew up. Tesla battery packs have blown up, on multiple occasions, from simply hitting bumps in the road. Manufacturing these kinds of batteries is so toxic that even China, a country known for the most minimal regulations, has closed a huge number of battery factories because of the massive numbers of deaths they caused to workers and nearby residents.
Journalists have published a glut of articles exposing cover-ups about the dangers and corruption involved with lithium ion batteries. The U.S. Government and numerous groups have filed charges against Panasonic, and similar battery companies for bribery, corruption, dumping, price fixing and other unethical tactics.
Every key investor in lithium ion was also a campaign donor who also received huge federal cash from the Department of Energy in the same funding cycle in which they paid campaign contributions. By driving a Tesla, in addition to the common public perception that it is a “douche-bag car”, there is something far worse about driving it. You are making a public statement to the world that you support organized crime by driving this car. Here is why: Investigators say that, political operatives David Plouffe, Rahm Emanual, Steven Rattner, Dan Pfeiffer, Bill Daly, David Axelrod and Robert Gibbs arranged with Silicon Valley investors to take over the lithium battery industry in order to monopolize the trillions of dollars of lithium, and related mining deals, in Afghanistan. The Afghan war has now cost American’s over 6 trillion dollars, with almost nothing to show for it.
They say that they traded federal funding for campaign support assisted by Harry Reid and Dianne Feinstein, who received numerous stock and cash kickbacks in the scheme. They say they used the money to fund political campaigns. They used the Silicon Valley investors internet companies, (mostly Google), to manipulate voter perceptions and web searches in favor of their personal agenda and profits. The Silicon Valley investors received favorable federal laws, tax gifts, free federal loans, stock bumps and other perks. The Silicon Valley investors companies that used the Afghan minerals: Abound, Solyndra, Fisker, Ener1, Tesla, and many, many more, that received the Department of Energy kickback funds, managed by Steven Chu, have all either failed, been raided, been charged with fraud or otherwise turned out to be disasters because they were based on a financial fraud skimming scheme instead of a good business plan. Anyone who spoke out about details of the scam, particularly journalists, had a character assassination hit-job ordered on them by Axelrod, Gibbs and Carney; using tabloid fronts that they controlled. All of these facts are known, in great detail, by many investigators. Nearly a million pages of evidence exist. A Special Prosecutor is required to perform proper prosecutions. No matter what political party you belong to: This is organizedcrime against the taxpayers.
All of this information can now be validated, and confirmed, on any law enforcement, or investigative news, database.”
Hundreds of expert witnesses are prepared to testify to the veracity of these facts before the U.S. Congress, Federal judges and/or Special Prosecutors.
There are 320 Million people in America.
In “The Incident”, out of 320 Million American’s, only 21 of them made billions of dollars of profit, in taxpayer cash, off of “The Incident” AND Those same 21 people were huge campaign backers and they all knew each other AND The competitors of each of those 21 people were sabotaged or held-back in “The Incident” SO
If you play Vegas, you know what “Odds-Makers” are. If you buy insurance you know what “Actuarials” are. The odds, or actuarials, of those things, that happened in “The incident” happening on their own, without organized crime manipulation are: OVER FOUR TRILLION TO ONE.
The Facts are clear. The cover-ups are wearing thin and multiple investigators now have all of the emails, recordings and evidential proof. Time for action!
From one Senator: ” If you are an average member of the public, you may read all of this about spies, intrigues, murders, political corruption, trillion dollar stock scams and crime and think: ‘oh my, I don’t live in this world. This doesn’t apply to me. I don’t want to know about this’ ..but you would be wrong. All of this affects your job, the price of eggs you buy at the corner store, the cost of your gas, your retirement savings and many things that go on in your life every day. To ignore the facts is to subject you, and your family, to economic ills that you could have fixed by being pro-active. Pay attention, know these facts and VOTE the bad people out, and the good people in, if you want to improve your own personal life!”
The executives of Google, In-Q-Tel and New America Foundation and the investors and beneficiaries of the “CleanTech” cash and the organizers of the libel, slander and defamation attacks against competing applicants are IN FACT, all the same people. In-Q-Tel and New America Foundation staff strategized the attacks while Gawker Media and Google executed the attacks.
Google received numerous legal requests to cease the attacks and, not only, refused to cease the attacks, but, in fact, increased them. Google manually, malicious and intentionally locked the attacks into the top and forefront positions on their web control architecture in order to optimize and maximize the damage against applicants as a retribution tactic. Google deleted and down-ranked any media coverage which was beneficial to applicants in order to assert their damage against the applicants in favor of their investors. Because Google operates under federal cash contracts and is legally a “Monopoly” this is a felony.
A Few Examples of The Corruption in this Case:
* A few applicants became suspicious of the process, and, at the request of investigators, submitted two different applications for the same exact thing, under different names. As suspected, each application was rejected but for entirely different reasons in each 100% clone test application, in each case. In some rejection points, the thing that was stated as a positive in one response was stated as a negative in another. This stands as a portion of the proof that no actual due diligence took place and that every applicant was rejected for any reason that could be found, if they were not one of the “pre-selected” insiders.
* Applicants state that Senators Feinstein, Boxer, Reid, Granholm and other elected officials, “stabbed applicants in the back” by helping to sabotage those applicants applications so that those Senators, and their families and associates, could receive stock, campaign funding, family contracts, and special insider perks. Historical investigative facts do show that many applications were manipulated, and sabotaged, and that all of those Senators did receive those listed perks at the same time.

Case Overview
(Click On each highlighted item to see the video explanation from news broadcasts. Over 800,000 pages of paper evidence also exist in multiple federal repositories. Check back for updated newscast evidence, arriving daily.) Joint FBI/GAO Report DE-3467 Draft 4.5.2E
⊗ A group of Silicon Valley investors received some documents from some “friends” stating that there was “A trillion dollars of lithium in Afghanistan“. These documents were passed around by Goldman Sachs & Silicon Valley VC’s. This group thought they could exploit Afghan, and other country’s, mining contracts on a commodity monopolization scheme fronting the use of the raw materials by “Green-washing” it to be used for “electric car and solar programs”, under the guise of, “it’s ‘CleanTech’ the voters should love it”, in order to try to make it pass Congressional oversight faster. Recent press disclosures confirm vast campaign funding, by mining companies, through back-door avenues, ie: the Guistra matter and others.
⊗ These investors were deeply affiliated with Goldman Sachs. Goldman Sachs was involved in almost every aspect, stock manipulation, application “winner”, profit funnel and deployment aspect of the case. Goldman created the process known as the “Flash Boy Pump”. This used Department of Energy and TARP cash award announcements to synthetically inflate stock values long enough to “skim” profits off those stock holdings. Goldman is now under many investigations for this kind of “Commodity rigging”.
⊗ These investors used their campaign donations, lobbyists and PAC’s to acquire the services of a number of U.S. Senators and foreign diplomats. They primarily paid the Senators in stock options for those Senators, their families and business associates. The FEC and FTC have Congressional insider trading investigations under-way, over these very actions, which have been stone-walled by the very Senators who engaged in the insider trading.
⊗ The characters involved in the scandal have now been uncovered as highly unethical, disreputable, willing to break laws and moral codes and are held in low regard by the public. They formed a cartel now known as The Silicon Valley Cartel. One of the largest participants is Google, Inc. and it’s investors. The Cartel was recently exposed in the Silicon Valley “ANGELGATE” and “NO POACHING” collusion scandals and lawsuits
⊗ The best friend’s of the Silicon Valley Cartel were Steven Chu and Eric Holder. The cartel arranged, via the legal firm connected to both: Covington & Burling, to get them both nominated and appointed to the two federal agencies that control the money pass-through. Both of these individuals have been proven to have had previous business and personal relationships with the Cartel. Steven Chu sabotaged any technologies or companies that competed with his, and his friends, stock investments. Both have been forced to quit.
⊗ The Cartel used consulting Company McKinsey for insider trading deal support and to author papers and reports which were distributed throughout Washington to say that certain very specific products and technologies were “trending in the new CleanTech industry”. In fact, every “trending company and technology” that McKinsey raved over was already owned and monopolized by the Cartel. At least one major McKinsey executive has gone to federal prison. A number of others are under surveillance and investigation. LINKS TO EXAMPLE MATERIALS:KLEINER PERKINS #1VC RACKETERING #1MCKINSEY CONSULTING #1STEVEN CHU #1CORRUPTION #1CHARACTER ASSASSINATION #1
⊗ As Secretary of Energy, it was noticed that Steven Chu gave quite a lot of U.S. tax dollars to Russian owned or controlled companies. It was subsequently discovered that the Silicon Valley Cartel had deep Russian connections and business relations with USSR businessmen, to assist in the mining of Afghan, and other Middle Eastern countries, for the personal gain of the Cartel. Steven Chu sabotaged over 200 applicants, for the federal programs, simply because they competed with the Cartel and were not part of the Cartel.
⊗ Elon Musk was a behind the scenes Google and Kleiner Perkins partner, Cartel organizer and cash conduiting agent. THIS LINK has many confirming data points . Elon Musk, a billionaire, has now received billions of free taxpayer dollars in out-right cash hand-outs, tax waivers, free or low-cost resources, stock pumps and federal NASA contracts. Musk’s companies would not exist today if not for taxpayer hand-out cash. No other living person has received this much taxpayer money from the Obama administration. No other living person has given so much money to the Obama administration through his companies, investors and partners, like Google. No other living person has had the Obama administration sabotage, terminate or rule against so many of his competitors. Federal records demonstrate this to be one of the most overt examples of a political campaign kick-back scheme in this decade. In Musk’s carefully orchestrated, self-aggrandizing, media campaigns, all mention of his true financial connections, extensive fraud lawsuits, and employee distrust is carefully expunged. Musk’s companies exploited the key minerals from the mining deals and both Tesla & Solyndra, who sit next door to each other, were kickback lobbied by Dianne Feinstein, whose family profited on both deals.
⊗ Senators Feinstein, Reid, Pelosi and Boxer received the largest amount of stock, insider trading deals and campaign kick-backs from the Cartel. Feinstein’s family and associates received massive resources from the Tesla and Solyndra deals. They were, essentially, paid program facilitators. These Senators leveraged state tax officials, including Bill Lockyer of California, to exclusively, and extraordinarily, give tens of millions of dollars of additional taxpayer money, at a state level, to Cartel billionaire-owned companies: Tesla & Solyndra. Which sit on the same plot of land and have supplier contracts with the Senators families. These Senators took active steps to sabotage applicants who competed with Tesla, Solyndra & the Cartel, such as Gary D. Conley of SolFocus; who may have been murdered.
⊗ Recently disclosed documents and videos prove that the Cartel spent more time in the White House, from 2007 forward, than all of the members of Congress COMBINED. Additionally, the disclosures of financial connections between the Cartel members, The White House, campaign financing and federal policy decisions demonstrates the operation of a felony-level corruption activity.
⊗ The mining chemicals that the cartel sought to monopolize were “dumped” on the Cartel by the Russians via, possibly, doctored documents which overstated the volume and value of the materials and who knew that the materials were toxic, explosive and had no long-term economic viability. The Cartel did not investigate the materials usage and rushed to profiteer, driven By Goldman Sachs, who didn’t care about the long-term, they just wanted to “skim” their fees and “stock pumps” off the top.
⊗ The American GAO, Judicial Watch & Transparency Center have discovered that U.S. taxpayers lost additional billions of dollars as the result of tax waivers, credits and reductions given exclusively to Cartel companies as gifts in exchange for election services. LINKS TO EXAMPLE MATERIALS:VC RACKETERING #1STEVEN CHU #1CORRUPTION #1
⊗ Google executives and investors used Google, Inc. as a “central command” for lobbying, leverage, media stock manipulation, spying on competitors, media hit jobs and revenue profiteering. The upside was that it provided for the largest media, stock and information manipulation system ever devised. The downside is that it focused public, agency and law enforcement scrutiny on this central point until the voluminous indiscretions, finally, became highly visible, as shown AT THIS LINK, and in the follow newscasts:
⊗ The key White House staff who assisted in this scheme were: Rahm Emanual, David Plouffe, Robert Gibbs, David Axelrod, Steve Rattner, Jay Carney and Bill Daily. When confronted about their involvement, historical records show that they all quit their White House jobs at the most desired positions in America, in a bad economy, to take far lower positions, thus implicating themselves, along with their emails, in culpability. These staffers worked harder than any other administration to cut-off the press, attack whistle-blowers and increase NSA domestic surveillance in order to delay the revelation of these crimes. LINKS TO EXAMPLE MATERIALS:VC RACKETERING #1STEVEN CHU #1CORRUPTION #1CHARACTER ASSASSINATION #1
⊗ A key aspect of the scam was the “Pump & Go” stock swindle combined with pulling cash off-the-top by Sachs and the Cartel. In the following evidence set, you will notice a record setting number of huge cash intakes and sudden bankruptcies immediately thereafter. That part of the scheme seems to have worked like this: 1.) Technically “ideal” companies were set-up, 2.) huge cash amounts were wired in from the U.S. Treasury. 3.) Huge “fees” were paid to VC’s, executives and Sachs, right when the money arrived at the tech company, while Sachs & the VC’s “pumped” the stock market valuations of those companies using the sudden “free money” from the Dept. of Energy to falsify valuation marketing. This gave short term, sudden, stock profits that they also grabbed , 4.) the companies were managerially abandoned and then 5.) filed bankruptcy. 6. ) The VC’s and Sachs then filed tax loss credits, on the failures, in order to get a double profit upside. Investigators called this “unjust rewards”. This volume of award/failure scenarios has never occurred in the history of America, particularly with a series of same-type companies who had just received massive federal funding windfalls. It seems obvious that these sequential incidents were planned and coordinated. Investigators believe Kleiner Perkins and Goldman Sachs were the key organizers of this tactic. Time-tracking of financial details in the HSBC “Swiss Leaks” seems to confirm federal award/personal gain sequences.

Department of Energy Head announces he engaged in “Meticulous Due Diligence” to ensure that only campaign billionaire funders got DOE ATVM and LG funding!
Under federal investigation, DOE staff are required to now testify about what happened to billions of taxpayer dollars that were conduit-ed, by DOE staff, to Senators pockets and billionaires investment portfolios as campaign favors.
Peter Davidson, the executive director for the DOE’s LPO, defended his office, saying its achievements to date are “remarkable.” Investigators commented that “it is remarkable that your whole agency isn’t in federal prison!”
Davidson said that due in large part to the DOE’s“meticulous due diligence, its commitment to establishing protections within all agreements, and robust project monitoring”…, that nobody but a handful of crony campaign billionaire funders got DOE ATVM and LG funding! All other applicants were automatically kicked out, and “tossed in the Potomac”, if they did not bribe the right people.
The GAO, Senate investigators and thousands of media reports have labelled the DOE funding program as “NOTHING MORE THAN A POLITICAL CASH KICK-BACK SCHEME TO USE TAXPAYER MONEY TO PAY OFF SILICON VALLEY BILLIONAIRES FOR PROVIDING CAMPAIGN SERVICES”

Scientists and physicists use Path Integral Formulation Probability Quantum Mechanics to calculate the likelihood of corruption in the Department of Energy funding programs. Science says: 99.7%!!!!
Forensic Scientists and physicists were tasked with examining the fatal Department of Energy ATVM and LGP electric car and “Cleantech” VC funding programs for reports to the GAO and FBI. They used a type of quantum probability analysis mechanics software science that was also used for such things as finding the cause of the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster. This probability technology is now also being used to search for the lost Malaysian airlines Flight.
Just like experts combed the wreckage of the Shuttle Challenger and thousands of other air disasters, financial debacles and similar wrecks, the wreckage of the DOE programs has left clues that point to absolute answers, specific people and exact dollar amounts.
If you have some “Path Integral Formulation Probability” software at your school, (It is available in Physics departments) you can run these same numbers yourself. The Outcomes:
The odds of Tesla, Fisker and A123 being the only “winners” against all other applicants given the known facts, and side-by-side metrics, at the time: 19841 to 1 unlikely.
The odds, that, in a fair selection, out of the hundreds of applicants, only the certain handful would be selected and that that certain handful would happen to be owned or operated by some of the largest campaign donors: 45,780 to 1 against this outcome if the true comparisons were conducted.
The odds of Steven Chu ignoring the financial and career holdings he had, at the time, in order to provide un-biased decisions: 22885 to 1 unlikely.
The odds that campaign backers bribed Department of Energy Staff: 802 to 1 likely.
The odds that, given the ACTUAL financial and engineering status of Tesla, at the time, that Tesla would have qualified for the taxpayer money per federal law: 43277 to 1 unlikely that Tesla would have qualified.
The odds that award beneficiaries bribed at least 4 U.S. Senators: 2581 to 1 likely.
The odds that, given a fair playing field and complete transparency, the awards and failures would have turned out as they have: 42,988 to 1 against the disastrous outcome that DID occur vs. what would have been avoided if corruption was not involved.
The odds that an ongoing cover-up is underway: 36090 to 1 likely.

Another DOE Flop: Smith Electric Vehicles Closes Kansas Plant
By Institute for Energy Research (Bio and Archives) Wednesday, April 16, 2014
“You’re doing more than just building new vehicles. You are helping to fight our way through a vicious recession and you are building the economy of America’s future.” President Obama, 2010.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) provided $30 million to Missouri-based Smith Electric Vehicles and President Obama used the spending as an opportunity to campaign in Missouri. Hindsight now shows that it was irresponsible for the Obama administration to give Smith Electric Vehicles $30 million dollars of American taxpayers’ money because the company is closing its U.S. operations due to a “tight cash flow situation.”(i) This is not the first electric vehicle company that DOE has funded from the 2009 Stimulus package that has gone down the tubes. Fisker Automotive, a Finnish electric car maker, was provided with a $529 million DOE loan, but was cut off at $193 million when it failed to reach milestones in delivering its Karma model, an electric vehicle with a showroom cost of over $100,000.
Smith Electric Vehicles is shuttering its Kansas City plant, but will continue to operate in Europe and Asia, where the company has additional production facilities. The DOE stimulus grant of $32 million was supposed to support the construction of 510 electric vehicles for municipal public transportation[ii]–plug-in delivery trucks, which currently are used by customers such as Frito-Lay, The Coca-Cola Company, Staples, Kansas City Power & Light Company, and the U.S. military. Using $29,150,672 in taxpayer funds, Smith Electric Vehicles had 439 vehicles in service at the end of 2013.
While the White House claimed that the project would create “more than 220 direct and indirect jobs,” the company had created the hourly equivalent of 70.35 jobs. Thus, DOE spent an average of over $414,000 for each job created. Last year, the company reported that it employed 131 people in the United States. Smith Electric Vehicles has been struggling for some time, reporting that it had annual losses in the millions after receiving DOE funds. In 2009, Smith Electric lost $17.5 million; in 2010, $30.3 million; in 2011, $52.5 million, and as of June 30, 2012, $27.3 million.[iii] The company intended to have an initial public offering in 2012 and to open an assembly plant in New York and in Chicago—but, those plans were scrapped.[iv]
Purchasers of these plug-in trucks can benefit from a number of different Federal subsidy programs to defer some of the cost, such as[v]:
The Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Tax Credit (up to 30 percent of the vehicle’s cost);
Qualified Plug-In Electric Drive Motor Vehicle Tax Credit (between $2,500 and $7,500 per truck);
EPA Diesel Emissions Reduction Act Grant (up to 25 percent of the total cost of a vehicle);
Clean Cities Grant (up to 50 percent total cost of the vehicle); and
Congestion, Mitigation and Air Quality Funds.
Further, the individual states also have their own subsidy and rebate programs that apply.
DOE’s Advanced Technology Vehicle Manufacturing Program
Recently, Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz announced his intention to restart the Department’s electric vehicle subsidy program, the Advanced Technology Vehicle Manufacturing (ATVM) program that has wasted millions of taxpayer dollars on a number of failed companies, including Smith Electric Vehicles. The program has about $16 billion in authorized funds that have not yet been disbursed. Funds from the program have previously been distributed to electric vehicle manufacturer Fisker Automotive and battery manufacturer A123 Systems, both of which went bankrupt after receiving the DOE funds.
However, Secretary Moniz believes that the electric vehicle market has improved since those failures. But, the financial troubles of Smith Electric Vehicles indicate just the opposite. The Government Accountability Office (GAO) recommended that the program be scrapped. GAO recommended that Congress rescind “all or part of the remaining credit subsidy appropriations to the [ATVM] loan program, unless the [DOE] can demonstrate sufficient demand for new ATVM loans and viable applications.”[vi]
Despite GAO’s report to the contrary, Congressional Democrats are offering legislation to continue subsidizing the electric vehicle market. For example, a bill introduced by Rep. Zoe Lofgren would authorize the Treasury Department to issue up to $50 billion in federal bonds to finance, among other projects, $2,500 government vouchers for Americans to purchase plug-in hybrid electric cars.[vii] This would be very beneficial to Tesla Motors, which is headquartered in her home town of Palo Alto, and whose purchasers already receive a $7,500 reduction in their tax obligation from the federal government.
Conclusion
It is now 2014 and President Obama’s 2009 Stimulus program is still plaguing the country. Although, it has clearly been demonstrated that numerous projects benefiting from it have failed or otherwise not met their goals[viii], Federal officials want to continue to support what the market is having trouble supporting with Federal and state government hand outs. Smith Electric Vehicles’ closing of its Kansas plant in hopes to retool production outside of the United States is evidence that the $414,000 per job Federal give away is not working.
