How White House Staff Put Hit-Jobs on Domestic American Business Competitors on Orders from Silicon Valley Campaign Financiers
Silicon Valley billionaires John Doerr, Eric Schmidt, Elon Musk and Steve Jurvetson told White House senior officials Rahm Emanual, David Axelrod, Robert Gibbs and Bill Daley to “take-out” American companies, individuals and organizations that got in their way.
West Wing staff used Sidney Blumenthal to coordinate media character assassinations through their control of Gawker Media, Media Matters, New America Foundation, In-Q-Tel and Think Progress. Everyone from a CBS Reporter, to an energy company, to a writer, to a book publisher, to a financial analyst, and on and on; got savaged by these attacks. People’s lives, careers, brands, income, home-ownerships, jobs and worlds were destroyed because of the capricious arrogance and smug self-involvement of a few wealthy elitists who were offended by anything that touched their golden bubble.
The attacks did not stop with mere media “hatchet jobs”. The IRS was used as a weapon. The Lois Lerner case is now in the history books as one of the most audacious uses of a federal agency for domestic hit-jobs on average American citizens, ever discovered.
The world heard about White House attack-dogs like Richard Berman, and Sidney Blumenthal, from the Monica Lewinsky case. Blumenthal was charged with discrediting Lewinsky so her statements would have less impact on Bill Clinton’s political career.
Hacking, email and voice mail deletion, website re-direction to fake websites, floods of fake web traffic (in order to kill your web business) and other malicious acts were all on the table.
Monica Lewinksy, Cheryl Attkisson, and other well-known names, have openly discussed the attacks on them, but, it turns out, there were thousands more.
These, massive, organized attacks, on non-terrorist, average, domestic U.S. citizens leaves the public scratching their heads. Why would the highest office, in the nation, stoop to the lowest forms of aggression and dirty deeds?
One possible answer lies in a previous history lesson. During the reign of FDR as President, JP Morgan attempted to take over the U.S. Government in a case known as the “Business Plot”. A highly decorated U.S. Marine hero, named Smedley Butler, exposed the plot and helped get it shut down. At the time, if the plot had succeeded, it would have been one of the largest business crimes in history. (Websearch: “Smedley Butler and the Business Plot”)
Something similar may have been what broke the Obama Administration.
Just before Obama got in the Presidential game, Goldman Sachs and Silicon Valley pitched the idea that there was “a trillion dollars of electric car lithium in Afghanistan” and that “Afghanistan was the Saudi Arabia of lithium”. (Websearch those phrases).
Silicon Valley billionaires traded exclusive federal contracts, supposedly worth trillions of dollars, for the market monoploy for the mining deals for their solar panels and electric cars. In this deal; Obama, Reid & Feinstein got all the campaign cash they needed, and all the search engine manipulation they needed, in order to win their elections. In exchange, Steven Chu, and his corrupted Department of Energy, gave John Doerr, Eric Schmidt, Elon Musk and Steve Jurvetson the monopolies on electric cars, solar and all of the “green-washed” “Cleantech” markets.
So that’s a lot of crime. Stock market manipulation, bribes, rigged loans and Department of Energy funding, kick-backs..that all sounds pretty bad.
The White House-rs, and billionaires, must have figured: “in for a penny, in for a pound” and decided to just go all the way on the whole crime thing.
It is hard to keep a big crime quiet, generally. In Washington DC, it is impossible. There will always be an opposition party that wants your crime exposed. The naïve Silicon Valley newbie DC manipulators did not do a very good job at being covert corruptors.
The whole thing just went from bad, to worse. That “one more” little hit-job on an Attkisson suddenly needed “one more” little hit job on an SEC investigator, and then…”oops”, now this other reporter found out: “Take them out too”… It escalated rapidly. Fear makes bad guys do worse things, but more stupidly.
So, to fund campaigns, the “Cleantech Crash” (See the 60 Minutes episode of the same title) was caused. This, either, accidently, took place at the start of “The Age of Transparency”, initiated by Snowden, Asssange, Manning, HSBC, Chinese OPM hack, Sony Leaks, or, it caused the leaks to get generated because of the audacity of the crimes. We may never know.
In any case, now everybody has everything on everybody. The world is sifting through all of the behind-the-scenes emails, and things are getting a view in a new light.
Over 45 people have had to quit the Obama Administration, at the peak of their careers, when they got caught. It is now quite obvious who was dirty in the deal. Still, though, the newer press and Blumenthal-inspired West Wing hit-men persist in following in the steps of their hatchet-men predecessors.
Congress knows who each, and every, one of them are. They are zero-ing in on the dirty tricks teams because they have destroyed the credibility of the U.S. political system and ground Washington productivity to a halt. Targeting Hulk Hogan and Rick Santorum for political hit jobs by Gawker Media may make for fun tabloid times, but those simpleton attacks do nothing to move U.S. public policy productivity forward.
The Sony hack revealed that one of the largest companies in the world was run by petulant, whining, children who threw tantrums if someone looked sideways at their toy shovel in the sandbox. The White House appears to have the same MO. The TV Show “West Wing” sought to portray a noble, moral, enlightened White House. The reality of the recent news, and expose’s, reveals a White House full of vindictive, bitter, school-children who would rather attack those who speak up, deliver digital retribution from on high and empower monopolies for Silicon Valley buddies, no matter what the cost to the rest of America.
