Michigan Election Tales: Marsha Squier, Marvin Surowitz In Macomb County

Marsha Squier is running for office on the unincorporated Green Party Ticket.


Marsha also says that Green Party has activities all over the world, even Sweden, with Greta Thurnberg, who has her own, very special Michigan connection.

Very interesting interview...

MARVIN SUROWITZ a.k.a. ‘MARVIN MARVIN’ Marvin is a professor of Political Science. He has been teaching college since 1964. Students say his class is a pivotal point in their lives. Since the 1960’s Marvin has been involved in social and political issues: environmental, human rights and peace. He has run for political office. He’s travelled to over 30 countries so far. In the 1970’s Marvin studied with R. Buckminster Fuller, the famed architect, writer and futurist. ‘Bucky’ declared “Humanity could be a success on Spaceship Earth...” through technology and thinking “outside of the box.” “When I was a child there was a TV show called “Queen for a Day” where the “lucky” winner (the one with the most compelling sad story) was awarded most of her heart’s desires: a new washer, TV, money, etc. I dreamed of being “King for a Day,” where I might right the world’s wrongs -- hunger, poverty, discrimination, injustice. I soon realized I would need more than one day more than one week -- perhaps more than one lifetime. In my best moments I see people as One. I see the Earth working. I see peace and prosperity. I see no wars. I see sustainable and equitable growth. I see Earth Community!” Marvin Surowitz is the founder and Executive Director of Earth Community, Inc. Marvin is a lifetime Detroit area resident. Marvin continues teaching Political Science, as he has since 1964. He is a parent, grandparent, mentor, world traveller, an author, a community organizer, a freedom advocate, and an accomplished public speaker. Most importantly he is a visionary and a peacemaker.

DOJ: John McAfee Indicted for Tax Evasion

But is John still running for president?



Allegedly Hid Cryptocurrency, a Yacht, Real Estate and Other Properties in Nominee Names to Evade Taxes

An indictment was unsealed today charging John David McAfee with tax evasion and willful failure to file tax returns, announced Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Richard E. Zuckerman of the Justice Department’s Tax Division and U.S. Attorney D. Michael Dunavant for the Western District of Tennessee. The June 15, 2020 indictment was unsealed following McAfee’s arrest in Spain where he is pending extradition.

According to the indictment, John McAfee earned millions in income from promoting cryptocurrencies, consulting work, speaking engagements, and selling the rights to his life story for a documentary. From 2014 to 2018, McAfee allegedly failed to file tax returns, despite receiving considerable income from these sources. The indictment does not allege that during these years McAfee received any income or had any connection with the anti-virus company bearing his name.

According to the indictment, McAfee allegedly evaded his tax liability by directing his income to be paid into bank accounts and cryptocurrency exchange accounts in the names of nominees. The indictment further alleges McAfee attempted to evade the IRS by concealing assets, including real property, a vehicle, and a yacht, in the names of others.

If convicted, McAfee faces a maximum sentence of five years in prison on each count of tax evasion and a maximum sentence of one year in prison on each count of willful failure to file a tax return. McAfee also faces a period of supervised release, restitution, and monetary penalties.

An indictment merely alleges that crimes have been committed. The defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Zuckerman and U.S. Attorney Dunavant commended special agents of IRS-Criminal Investigation, who conducted the investigation, and Trial Attorney William Guappone of the Tax Division and Assistant U.S. Attorneys Matthew Wilson and Damon Griffin, who are prosecuting the case.

Additional information about the Tax Division and its enforcement efforts may be found on the Division’s website.

Prelude To Detroit: Protecting Our Democracy Act - The Democratic Response To The National Catholic Prayer Breakfast - The Cloaking Of Parental Rights

The key to crafting and presenting legislation is all about the timing.

Here, we have the National Catholic Prayer Breakfast, which is to honor my Boo Boo Barr for
Bill Barr
Sir Boo Boo Barr
Champion of Corporate
Parental Rights
to take over the U.S.


contemporaneously championing the advice and advocacy Of Corporate Parental Rights, on behalf of those Public Private Partnerships, for he has taken the oath of fealty to the foreign nation called the Vatican.

God save the Queen!


He who has sworn an oath of fealty to the tax exempt god of a foreign nation, wherefore, loyalty comes with the grant of lots of land and all the attached chattels of tiny humans.

A knight is a title of nobility, you know.

When you help get U.S. contracts, typically in child welfare, as a knight, as an U.S. for-profit or not-for-profit, while  we typically call that an emolument, unless you are granted authority to engage in commerce in the U.S. on behalf of a foreign entity, by registering under FARA.

Otherwise, that may be considered under FCPA.

I just thought I would remind everyone when the history of the Knights of Columbus is cloaked in the bastardization of this nation's history.

Praytell, why is Boo Boo Barr praying for mercy, with Aladdin's magic "this means I am a real Smarty Pants" lamp by his side, bearing the arms of the U.S.?

I want to say 911, but will stick with the more universal blanket of "stealin' the children, land & votes."

Nun criticizes Catholic group for giving Barr award for 'Christlike behavior'

Bill Barr
"I am just doing the work of the lord."

A nun criticized the National Catholic Prayer Breakfast (NCPB) for its plans to award Attorney General Bill Barr for “Christlike behavior” on Wednesday morning.

Sister Helen Prejean slammed the Catholic organization for announcing the Christifideles Laici Award would be given to Barr, who is Catholic, at the annual breakfast. The award honors the recipient for “Exemplary Selfless and Steadfast Service in the Lord’s Vineyard,” according to the NCPB website.

Prejean, an advocate against the death penalty, argued in a tweet Tuesday night that the attorney general has not demonstrated “Christlike behavior” after the Department of Justice (DOJ) resumed federal executions this year. 

“A.G. Barr has ordered the executions of six men with at least one more on the calendar,” she wrote on the social media platform. “What is ‘Christlike’ about using discretionary power to kill?”

Another nun, Sister Simone Campbell, the executive director of the Catholic social justice group Network, told Newsweek she was “horrified” Barr was the recipient of the award. 

"I am horrified that they are giving an award to Attorney General Barr who had reinstituted executions of people on death row, which is shocking and counter to Catholic social teaching,” she said. “It is abundantly clear, 'thou shalt not kill', and he is doing that and he is being given an award.” 


The NCPB created the award last year “to help highlight these good works and those who serve the Church so well.” The virtual breakfast, which was postponed since March due to the pandemic, started at 11 a.m.

As of Wednesday morning, 22,213 people have signed a Faithful America petition calling on the NCPB
"Stop! You may not legally kidnap this
tiny human unless you have a CPS contract
under U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops."
said Boo Boo Barr.

to cancel giving Barr the award. Originally, the petition had a 20,000 signature goal, but the group has since raised it to 25,000.

“Attorney General William Barr's work — which includes teargassing peaceful protesters in front of the White House, defending the president's lawless corruption and attacks on American elections, and reinstating federal executions — has nothing to do with service to the Lord, and cannot be described as fidelity to the Church,” the petition reads.

“As fellow Catholics and other Christians, we call on the NCPB to cancel this award for Barr immediately, and avoid any further appearance of endorsing Donald Trump or his Cabinet members so close to an election,” it continues. 

The NCPB and the Justice Department did not immediately return requests for comment. 

Faithful America, a progressive Christian group, noted in a release that the award will be given the same week the DOJ will conduct two executions. 

Pope Francis has come out against the death penalty under all circumstances calling it “inadmissable” in 2018 when he changed the Catholic Church’s teaching. 

But the Trump administration resumed federal executions after a 17-year suspension, conducting six executions this year, including William Emmett LeCroy who was executed Tuesday after being convicted of raping and killing a woman in 2004. 

Progressive Christians have also denounced the NCPB for identifying as non-partisan but hosting mostly Republican leaders including President Trump this year.

But, alas, there are those who are not happy with Boo Boo Barr.


The timing is not just symbolic, it is symbiotic, I tell you, because we are in Detroit.


Remarks by Attorney General William P. Barr on his Acceptance of the Christifideles Laici Award at the 2020 National Catholic Prayer Breakfast

Good morning.   It is a great honor to be recognized by this esteemed organization.  The truth is that no one is really worth of an award like this, so I am a little sheepish in accepting it.  But I am honored to do so, because I greatly admire the organizers of this breakfast and those who are associated with it.  This is a beautiful piece of artwork that I will cherish.  Thank you.

For more than 15 years now, inspired by Saint John Paul II’s call for a renewal of Catholic communal and civic spirit, the National Catholic Prayer Breakfast has served as a living testament to the vital role of the Church and its principles in American public life.  Thank you for praying with me, and for me, and for the future of our country.

This is a challenging time for many Americans.  But times of trial have a way of reminding us how much we have to be grateful for.  As people of faith, we take comfort in the knowledge that God has a purpose and a plan.  And as citizens, we gain strength from the knowledge that our forebears confronted and overcame even greater tests.

In joining together to pray for the strength and health of our country, we carry on a tradition that goes back to the beginning of the Republic.  During the summer of 1783, General George Washington gave his first major address following the Revolutionary War — a war the young nation very nearly lost.  He delivered a famous prayer that continues to be read aloud every day at Mount Vernon.  He asked God not only to protect the nation from external threats, but to maintain the character of its citizens:  as he put it, to “dispose us all to do justice, to love mercy,” and to comport ourselves “with that charity, humility and pacific temper of mind, which were the characteristics of the divine author of our blessed religion,” and without which “we can never hope to be a happy Nation.”

As Washington and his fellow Founders understood, religion is at the heart of the American experiment in self-government.  In his Farewell Address, Washington said:  “Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports.”    

What he meant is that self-government begins with self-restraint.  And there is no greater teacher of restraint than religion.  That is why John Adams declared that our Constitution — which recently celebrated its 233rd birthday — “was made only for a moral and religious people.”  As Father John Courtney Murray later put it, the American idea is not that “free government is inevitable, only that it is possible, and that its possibility can be realized only when the people as a whole are inwardly governed by the recognized imperatives of the universal moral order.”

That crucial link between religion and liberty, so well understood at the Founding, is all too often forgotten today.  In American public discourse, perhaps no concept is more misunderstood than the notion of “separation of church and state.”  Militant secularists have long seized on that slogan as a facile justification for attempting to drive religion from the public square and to exclude religious people from bringing a religious perspective to bear on conversations about the common good.

Yet as events like this one remind us, separation of church and state does not mean, and never did mean, separation of religion and civics.  As late as 1952, Justice William O. Douglas could write for a majority of the Supreme Court that “we are a religious people whose institutions presuppose a Supreme Being.”  Alexis de Tocqueville, the keenest observer of the early American republic, praised America’s separation of church and state while extolling America’s union of the “spirit of religion” and the “spirit of liberty” as the key to its success.  And Tocqueville identified religion as perhaps the greatest bulwark against a descent into tyranny.

How does religion preserve liberty?  In the first place, as our Founders recognized, religion assists in the formation of virtuous citizens who are prepared to exercise liberty responsibly.  Whereas in democratic times, individuals have a tendency to withdraw from public life and pursue private self-gratification, religion builds community, strengthens social cohesion, and turns our attention to the common good.  At the same time, religion safeguards individual rights by warding off what Tocqueville called the “impious maxim” that “everything is permitted in the interest of society.”  For all of these reasons, Tocqueville referred to Americans’ religion as “the first of their political institutions.”

Unfortunately, in the last half century, that foundation of our free society has increasingly been under siege.  Traditional morality has eroded, and secularists have often succeeded not only in eliminating religion from schools and the public square, but in replacing it with new orthodoxies that are actively hostile to religion.  The consequences of this hollowing out of religion have been predictably dire.  Over the past 50 years, we have seen striking increases in urban violence, drug abuse, and broken families.  Problems like these have fed the rise of an ever more powerful central government, one that increasingly saps individual initiative, coopts civil society, crowds out religious institutions, and ultimately reduces citizens to wards of the State.

As patriotic Americans and people of faith, we cannot be complacent about these trends.  Yet nor should we give in to despair.  More recently, thanks in part to organizations like this one, we have seen some small but significant steps toward the restoration of religion to its rightful place in American public life. 

Some notable advances — which admittedly are of particular interest to me — have come in the legal arena.  They are the result of decades of hard work advocating for sound jurisprudential philosophies and appointing principled judges to state and federal courts.  The most recent term of the Supreme Court, for example, saw three important victories for religious liberty.  In each of these cases, the Department of Justice filed briefs supporting the free exercise of religion. 

In one case, the Court reaffirmed the principle that the government cannot discriminate against religion in general funding programs, and struck down a provision of the Montana Constitution that had been interpreted to exclude religious schools from a scholarship program for underprivileged students.  In another case, the Court held that the First Amendment prohibits courts from intervening in employment disputes involving teachers at religious schools who are entrusted with the responsibility of instructing their students in the faith.  In the third case, the Court considered a regulatory mandate requiring employers to provide contraceptive coverage to their employees, and upheld the administration’s rules exempting the nuns of the Little Sisters of the Poor and other employers with moral and religious objections.   

In a sense, it is dispiriting that the disputes in these cases ever arose.  In each case, the religious litigants were not asking for anything more than the basic freedom to exercise their faith and be treated the same as others.  Nevertheless, the recognition of those rights by courts is encouraging.  And all involved — from the litigants and lawyers to those who prayed for the wisdom of judges — can take solace in having achieved a just result.

Advocating for religious liberty is just one way that lay Catholics and others can answer the call to serve.  In his exhortation Christifideles Laici, for which the award I have the honor of accepting today is named, Saint John Paul II noted that “the lay faithful are never to relinquish their participation in ‘public life’.”  At the same time, he emphasized that faith is first and foremost about how we live our daily lives, for “the daily life itself of a truly Christian family makes up the first ‘experience of Church.’”

Wherever we are in life, it is never too late to work in the Lord’s vineyard.  Our spiritual renewal, and the renewal of our national character, depend on it.  Thank you, and God Bless America.


Protecting Our Democracy Act 2020 Fact Sheet by Beverly Tran on Scribd

Protecting Our Democracy Act 2020 by Beverly Tran on Scribd

         
Quintessentially, I do believe Nancy is targeting that Horowitz IG Report Trump is obstructing justice with by keeping it in his backpocket by threatening, via this package of legislation on whistleblower protections, actions against blasphemy in false claims against an elected official, by forcing Boo Boo Barr to unseal all the Mueller referrals to those two magical grand juries.

We do not need the testimony of Don McGahn to congress because he is already in those grand juries and it is all public information if you just look here.

This is not going to end well, but shall be pearl clutching, for we are in Detroit.

Prelude To Detroit: Rochester, New York Mayor Lovely Warren Caught Stealin'

WHEW!

For a moment there I thought this was Detroit, but then, I remembered, this is only Day Four.

#maytheheavensfall

Subpoenas issued in investigation into alleged campaign finance violations against Mayor Warren

ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WHEC) — News10NBC has learned Monroe County prosecutors have issued subpoenas to people they want to question in their investigation into allegations of campaign finance violations against Mayor Lovely Warren.

WXXI's Evan Dawson confirmed to News10NBC he received a subpoena to appear before a Grand Jury on Sept. 17.

Prosecutors are interested in comments the mayor made on his show in July of 2017.

Dawson was told prosecutors want to make sure her comments on the program were not edited.

Back then, News10NBC reported the District Attorney's Office was looking into what happened to the money donated to two campaign-related committees during the mayor's re-election race last year.

During the campaign, the mayor's two challengers filed official complaints about the money to the state board of elections.

Now, Mayor Warren says she wants people to understand that this is coming back up right before she gets ready to run for re-election.

“I just think that this is a complaint that was done in my re-election campaign from 2017, we’re now in 2020 and this has just come to fruition,” Warren said. “Ask yourself why.  Come January I’ll be running for reelection and I believe this is a political witch hunt. I think that it's wrong and I think that people have overstepped here. And I plan on and my attorneys plan on defending me to the fullest extent of the law. I think that it is imperative that the people in this community understand what is going on here and I would hope that our media will go and do their research and look into this. We are talking about something that happened or [was] alleged to happen four years ago all of a sudden now has come to fruition right before I get ready to run for re-election. Ask yourself: Who’s running against me? And who are they tied to? Thank you.”

News10NBC heard from Joe Damelio, counsel for Friends of Lovely Warren, last Wednesday. He sent the following statement:

“Today, for the third separate time since the end of May, we received notification of leaks to the media regarding an alleged report from the State Board of Elections and the District Attorney’s office about political finance accounts associated with the Mayor's campaign. Still after three separate news stories at no time have I, the Mayor’s attorney, been contacted by the District Attorney’s office about this investigation.

Since 2017, news stories have been reported about similar alleged communications between the State Board of Elections and the District Attorney’s office. It is now 2020. We look forward to the conclusion of the DA's investigation.
The Mayor in her official capacity, and as a private person, did absolutely nothing wrong. And, when this investigation is done, it will be shown that no money is missing."

As of now, no charges have been filed against Mayor Warren

Light Up The Network: Gary Lindberg Sentenced For The 2020 RNC Convention

Such a shame Gary Lindberg will be unavailable as a speaker for the Republican National Convention 2020.

Perhaps, Cardinal Dolan can include him in his opening prayer.

DOJ: Former North Carolina State Political Party Chairman Previously Pleaded Guilty to Lying to the FBI in Connection with the Bribery Scheme


#maytheheavensfall

Founder and Chairman of a Multinational Investment Company and a Company Consultant Convicted of Bribery and Public Corruption are Sentenced to Prison

The founder and chairman of a multinational investment company and a company consultant were sentenced to prison today for orchestrating a bribery scheme involving independent expenditure accounts and improper campaign contributions. 
Greg E. Lindberg, 50, of Durham, North Carolina, the founder and chairman of Eli Global LLC (Eli Global) and the owner of Global Bankers Insurance Group (GBIG), was sentenced to 87 months in prison and three years of supervised release.  Lindberg’s consultant, John D. Gray, 70, of Chapel Hill, North Carolina, was ordered to serve 30 months in prison, followed by two years of supervised release.  Lindberg and Gray were also ordered to pay forfeiture in the amount approximately $1.45 million held in accounts established by the defendants for the purpose of funneling the bribe payments.
On March 5, 2020, a federal jury convicted Lindberg and Gray of conspiracy to commit honest services wire fraud and bribery concerning programs receiving federal funds following an approximately three-week trial.  U.S. District Judge Max O. Cogburn Jr. presided over the trial and today’s sentencing hearings.
Co-defendant, Robert Cannon Hayes, 74, of Concord, North Carolina, was also sentenced today to a one-year probationary term.  Hayes previously pleaded guilty to making false statements to the FBI and agreed to cooperate with the government’s investigation.
“When Greg Lindberg and John Gray offered millions of dollars in bribes to the North Carolina Insurance Commissioner, they referred to their elaborately corrupt scheme as a ‘win-win’ – unaware that the FBI was watching and listening,” said Acting Assistant Attorney General Brian C. Rabbitt of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division.  “Today, both men have been held accountable for their crimes, and their sentences underscore the Department of Justice's unyielding commitment to rooting out corruption wherever we find it.”
“Lindberg and his accomplices, driven by greed, devised an extensive political bribery scheme to illegally funnel millions of dollars to an elected official for the benefit of Lindberg’s business interests.  To this day, Lindberg and Gray remain unremorseful and refuse to accept responsibility for their criminal actions.  The severity of their brazen conduct is reflected in the Court’s sentence,” said U.S. Attorney Andrew Murray for the Western District of North Carolina.  “Bribery of a public official is far from a victimless crime.  It is our duty to the American people to stop bad actors with deep pockets and unscrupulous intentions from wrecking the foundation on which this country proudly stands.  To those that greedily seek to line their own pockets through deceit and fraud, I offer the following advice: Keep a travel toothbrush handy.”
“When the prison bars close behind Mr. Lindberg and Mr. Gray, they will hear the sound of justice, loud and clear,” said Special Agent in Charge John Strong of the FBI’s Charlotte Field Office.  “The FBI will root out any and all forms of public corruption.  We remain committed to ensuring those who attempt to interfere with the integrity of our democratic process pay the price.”
According to filed court documents, evidence presented at trial, and today’s sentencing hearings, in January 2018, the elected Commissioner (Commissioner) of the North Carolina Department of Insurance (NCDOI) reported concerns to the FBI about political contributions and other requests made by Lindberg and Gray, and agreed to cooperate with the federal investigation that was initiated. 
According to evidence presented at trial, from April 2017 to August 2018, Lindberg and Gray engaged in a bribery scheme involving independent expenditure accounts and improper campaign contributions for the purpose of causing the Commissioner to take official action favorable to Lindberg’s company, GBIG.  Trial evidence established that Lindberg and Gray gave, offered, and promised the Commissioner millions of dollars in campaign contributions and other things of value, in exchange for the removal of NCDOI’s Senior Deputy Commissioner, who was responsible for overseeing regulation and the periodic examination of GBIG. 
According to trial evidence, Lindberg, Gray and the Commissioner held numerous in-person meetings at different locations, including in Statesville, North Carolina, and had telephonic and other communications with each other, and others, to discuss Lindberg’s request for the personnel change in exchange for millions of dollars, and to devise a plan on how to funnel campaign contributions to the Commissioner anonymously.  In order to conceal the bribery scheme, at the direction of Lindberg, two corporate entities were set-up to form an independent expenditure committee with the purpose of supporting the Commissioner’s re-election campaign, and Lindberg funded the entities with $1.5 million as promised to the Commissioner.  In addition, at Lindberg and Gray’s direction, Hayes caused the transfer of $250,000 from monies Lindberg had previously contributed to a North Carolina state party of which Hayes was chairman, to the Commissioner’s re-election campaign.
According to admissions Hayes made in connection with his guilty plea, on or about Aug. 28, 2018, Hayes falsely stated to FBI agents that he had never spoken with the NCDOI Commissioner about personnel or personnel problems at NCDOI, or about Lindberg or Gray.  Hayes further admitted that, at the time he made the materially false statements, Hayes knew that it was unlawful to lie to the FBI, and knew that his statements were false because Hayes had in fact spoken with the NCDOI Commissioner about Lindberg and Gray, and about Lindberg’s request that the Commissioner move certain personnel within NCDOI.  
The FBI’s Charlotte field office investigated the case.
Trial Attorney James C. Mann of the Criminal Division’s Public Integrity Section and Assistant U.S. Attorneys William T. Stetzer and Dana O. Washington of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of North Carolina prosecuted the case.

FEC Opinion On Stealin' Children, Land & Vote With Campaign Converted Children's Trust Funds

This is the FEC Opinion on converting congressional campaign funds into a children's trust fund.

See?

But, now, the fraud schemes have gotten much more sophisticated because there was much more money to be a-stealin' in the era of Faith Based Funding for Medicaid Fraud in Child Welfare.

Thanks, Brian Svoboda, but you should have done that for Rashida.



You state that during the campaign Mr. Carrafiello became aware of a minor child who had lost his parents and who was being cared for by his grandparents. The candidate wishes to use his excess campaign funds to establish a trust fund for the child. You state that the child would be the sole beneficiary of the trust, and that the child's grandparents would act as trustees. The trust would be established by depositing the committee's excess campaign funds in a bank account. Your request states that "[i]t is my opinion that there is no relationship between Mr. Vincent Carrafiello and the proposed beneficiary or his relatives." You ask whether the establishment of such a trust is permissible.

DOJ: Atlanta City Councilman Antonio Brown has been Indicted for Attempting to Defraud Several Financial Institutions

This seems to be the transposable model to go after the Trump Organization network and Detroit.

I love transposable models.

#perkinscoiesucks

So does JonesDay, but we shall continue to wait for the rest of humanity to catch up before addressing these Detroit "Legal Geniuses" (trademark pending).



ATLANTA – Atlanta City Councilman Antonio Brown has been indicted on multiple fraud charges in connection with Brown’s attempts to defraud several financial institutions by taking out loans and making credit card purchases – and then falsely claiming that he was the victim of identity theft and was not responsible for the charges or repaying the loans.
"For years, Antonio Brown allegedly sought to defraud a number of banks and credit card companies by falsely claiming that he was the victim of identity theft," said U.S. Attorney Byung J. "BJay" Pak. "Brown’s scheme was eventually brought to light, resulting in his indictment by the grand jury."       
"This investigation is another example of the power of partnerships in combating financial fraud and identity theft," said Tommy D. Coke, Postal Inspector in Charge of the Atlanta Division. “Postal Inspectors are dedicated to pursuing individuals who seek to defraud for their own financial gain.”
"We are committed to working with our Federal law enforcement partners to aggressively pursue those who falsely claim their identity was stolen in an attempt to defraud financial institutions," said Gail S. Ennis, Inspector General of Social Security.  "I thank the U.S. Postal Inspection Service and IRS Criminal Investigation for their efforts in this case, and the United States Attorney’s Office for bringing these charges."
According to U.S. Attorney Pak, the charges, and other information presented in court: Beginning in 2012, Antonio Brown opened a number of credit cards, which he then used to make thousands of dollars’ worth of purchases for his own personal benefit.  Brown also obtained over $60,000 in automobile loans to finance the purchases of a Mercedes C300 and a Range Rover.  Despite opening and using these credit cards and despite taking the money for the two automobile loans, Brown allegedly falsely claimed that his identity had been stolen and that someone else had made the credit card purchases or had taken out these loans. 
The indictment further alleges that Brown provided false information to Signature Bank when applying for a $75,000 loan in August 2017.  During the loan application process, Brown provided a personal financial statement falsely claiming that he earned $325,000 per year and had $200,000 in available cash or assets.  Brown allegedly knew this information was false because he had recently submitted other loan applications reporting far less income and available cash or assets.  For instance, in a July 2017 loan application to another bank, Brown submitted a 2016 federal income tax return reporting that he earned $125,000 per year (which was $200,000 less than what he represented that his income was to Signature Bank). Further, in an August 2017 loan application to yet another bank, Brown claimed he had an annual salary of $175,000 (which was $150,000 less than what he told Signature Bank), and only had $25,000 in available cash and assets (which was $175,000 less than what he told Signature Bank).
U.S. Attorney Pak noted that the charges in the indictment all relate to conduct that occurred before Brown was elected to the Atlanta City Council.
On July 29, 2020, the Grand Jury charged Antonio Brown, 35, of Atlanta, Georgia, with wire fraud, mail fraud, bank fraud, and making false statements on a bank loan application. 
Members of the public are reminded that the indictment only contains charges.  The defendant is presumed innocent of the charges and it will be the government’s burden to prove the defendant’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt at trial.
The U.S. Postal Inspection Service, the Social Security Administration Office of Inspector General, and the Internal Revenue Service – Criminal Investigation Division are investigating this case.
Assistant U.S. Attorneys Thomas J. Krepp and Jeffrey W. Davis, Chief of the Public Corruption and Special Matters Section, are prosecuting the case.
For further information please contact the U.S. Attorney’s Public Affairs Office at USAGAN.PressEmails@usdoj.gov or (404) 581-6016.  The Internet address for the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Georgia is http://www.justice.gov/usao-ndga.

Dear FBI, DHS, IRS & Anyone Else With A Federal Badge - ActBlue Is Stealin' Money & Absentee Ballot Votes For Joe Biden

I just found out ActBlue is at it again!

Stealin' that is, and they are stealin' those CARES Act funds.

Yes, my dearies, gather round, for the Celestial Goddess of the Woodshed has wearied for far too long and must tell you the tale, again, of another machination of the fake ass Corporate Shape Shifters.

Once upon a time, ActBlue was stealin' all my Sweetie's campaign funding starting sometime around 2008.

I distinctly recall one campaign cycle where my Sweetie only raised $35.00 online, but filed for more than $2,000,000.

Yippers.

I remember that well because I watched them do it and got the emails to prove it, but I digress, having experienced another Post Traumatic Fraud Flashback.

So, allow me to walk  you through the latest and greatest fraud scheme of ActBlue.

CHIP IN $5 TO HOLD THE LEAD »
Folks, we’re going to win battleground states like Florida and Arizona by bringing together a massive coalition of voters across the country -- The Biden Coalition.

We need to bring everyone on board, including young voters, African-American and Latino voters, suburban voters, working-class voters, college-educated voters, women voters, and disaffected voters.

But look, during this period of all-virtual campaigning, it’s going to take a massive amount of resources to reach every voter that we need to participate in this election.

So that’s why we’re reaching out today. If we’re going to mobilize millions of key voters and win states like Florida and Arizona, then we’re going to need to keep setting and reaching ambitious online fundraising goals.

We know it’s a difficult time to donate right now, but every dollar you give brings us closer to executing these voter mobilization efforts that it will take to defeat Donald Trump. So what do you say, can you donate $5 today?

You cannot contact ACTBLUE because you have no idea of whom to contact, being Corporate Shape Shifters, so I searched for the principal agent and found this.

Authorizing corporation or other entity?

Why, "dems' Parental Rights terms (pun intended)!

I bet these are the authorizing corporations or other entities.

Here is the Parental Rights authorizing corporation or other entity section of absentee ballots for the City of Detroit.



What this means is that most individual eligible voters will leave this section blank, allowing someon like an authorizing corporation or other entity like a Guardian ad Litem who has had parental rights transferred by the court, to a private, state, asset forfeiture entity like ARC or Bethany Christian through the schools, or Catholic Charities, can, through legal authority, come in and do an ad hoc signing, to steal the vote.

I know.

I watched Fat Ass do it with absentee ballots with the Wayne County Clerk's office with his girl.


#perkinscoiesucks 

Now, I have created a link which I may file formal complaints to the proper jurisdictions as I consider this just another example of retaliation by sstealin' those stimulus payments.

And that ends the tale of how Joe Biden plans on funding his campaign and stealin' the vote through fraud.
