  • Volume 2, 3rdedition, part A
  • Volume 2, 3rdedition, part B
  • Volume 3
  • Volume 4, 2ndedition, part A.

The Australia Weekend News and INL News Publishing and Media Group are also dedicated to the search for the truth and exposing the truth to the public, and exposing those powerful well-connected people, networks and organisations, who think they can get away with any immoral, wrongful and/or illegal behaviour, without any accountability or publicity for their actions ....  just because of their wealth, influence and power in their city, town, state, country and the world.

Serious investigations strongly indicate and show that through many various methods that most mainstream newspaper and television networks and the website www.wikipedia.org are controlled by the Ruling Elite and the major Security Agencies such as the Five Eyes, Security Alliance which include Australia SSIO, the UK’s MI6/MI6, and the USA’s CIA,  as well as Canada and New Zealand’s various Security Agencies. The reality is that according to former MI6 Agent James Cobalt and others who have dared to speak out, working for major Security Agencies such as the Five Eyes. the lines are completely blurred as to which Security Agency one is working for, because they are all controlled by the same trillionaire ruling elite worldwide. The other most disturbing thing is that James Cobalt and other former Security Agency and Drug Enforcement police such as former Los Angles senior Drug Enforcement  Police Officer Michael Rupert (who was murdered with his death made to look like a suicide) and many others who have risked speaking out, they all say that there is no doubt that the Five Eyes Security Alliance and their powerful ruling elite masters and controllers effectively control around 90% of the illegal drug trafficking worldwide and work in with the major drug cartels that they allow to operate as their partners in crime …. to share the multi-trillion illegal drug profits made each year around the world.

 It is also understood that the same ruling elite multi-trillionaires also control most of the major legal drug companies operating in the world. That way they can make trillions of dollars each year from both legal and illegal drug sales. Then they use many different large companies such as the late Len Buckeridges’ BGC Building Companies, the late Sir Peter Able’s TNT Transport Group of Companies, General Electric LLC, Rupert Murdoch’s News Limited LLC and any other companies worldwide to launder billions of dollars each year. Then they use the profits of these companies in many various ways and methods, to control the mainstream media, and politicians worldwide.

Former LA Drug Enforcement Police Officer Michael Rupert, discovered that the main largest Nasdaq Companies that operate in Wall Street New York, are in reality effectively free, one way or another, from the US Government forcing money laundering laws on them, and thus they can bank billions of illegally earned back money cash into their company’s bank accounts each year without fear of the USA Taxation Authorities investigating where such cash comes from. Michael (Mike) Rupert also discovered through his in-depth research that the amount of money made from illegal drug sales worldwide is bigger that the money made from worldwide oil sales. Thus as Michael Rupert discovered, if one removed the illegal drug income from most countries, especially the USA, all their economies would collapse. The other amazing thing is that when Mike Rupert asked a lot of middle- and upper-class Americans, who all own a couple or more homes, a few nice cars, a great income and their kids going to the best schools etc. etc. ….  “If completely stopping the illegal drug trade in the USA, would mean you would lose all your wealth and comforts and having to live in a poor neighbourhood with little money to live one .., would you chose to allow the government to allow the illegal drug traffic to continue, or would you rather leave things the way they are and haver a nice middle and upper class life style..?”         

Everyone replied without exception…

 “We would rather continue to have wealth, with all our wealthy trappings and allow the illegal drug trade to continue in the USA..”          

The operation is all quite subtle and operates smoothly with the help of the major banks in London, New York and Hong Kong etc. controlled by the Ruling Elits Trillionaires.

Thus, high profile well paid mainstream newspaper, magazine and TV journalists and reporters, such as Tim Clark, who works for the Kerry Stokes Freemason ruling elite controlled West Australian Newspaper/Chanel Seven TV Network, the now retired Alison Fan who worked for the Chanel 7 TV Network for 35 years, are happy to be guaranteed a good income, a good car and home and a good retirement package for life, as long as they do what they are told, to write and report what they are told to write, speak and  report in the way and angle they are told to report a particular story, and not report and completely ignore certain facts, when such story is important to the ruling elite.

www.wikipesia.org, is another extremely powerful and influential mainstream news and information website, controlled by the Ruling Elite, where the Ruling Elite of Perth, Western Australia pay a top level journalist who goes by the code editor www.wikipedia.org  name of Moondyne, to write, monitor, control and edit any www.wikipedia.org articles that are published or attempted to be published on www.wikipedioa.org concerning Perth and Western Australia, as has been proven beyond any reasonable doubt, by not only the Australian Weekend News and INL News Publishing and Media Group, but also by experienced and well known and well respected investigative journalists. Moondyne has written and published and edited hundreds of articles and pages on the www.wikipedia.org website about and related to Perth and the State if Western Australia. There in no way that Moondyne could have written and compiled all these hundreds of www.wikipedia.org articles and pages in evenings and weekends, when he is not doing his normal day job. There can be no doubt that Moondyde is paid a full time salary by some person or organisation to write, monitor, control and edit any www.wikipedia.org articles that are published or attempted to be published on www.wikipedioa.org concerning Perth and Western Australia. Within an hour of any edits being made on the Daily and Weekend News pages, that were no approved by Moondyne and his hidden asteer, such edits were quickly removed by Moodyne.

Moondyne quicky wiped out all edits not approved by him and his hidden masters, regarding the Daily News and Weekend Newspapers and had the www.wikipedia.org webpage about the series of books published in the Western Australian State Reference Library in the late 1990’s which were published by the Australian Weekend News and INL News Publishing and Media Group titled “The Triumph of Truth (Who Is Watching the Watchers?)”, and over ruled other senior Wikipedia Editors approval of such webpage to be worked on in the Wikipedia Sand Patch Section until the web page fully satisfied the Wikipedia editing and layout rules.

     “Chilling Words - Dark Side of the Claremont Murders” by Steven Wijat

After reading these ten series of books, “Chilling Words - Dark Side of the Claremont Murders” by Steven Wijat, one’s view, understanding and knowledge of the world will never be the same … if you want to stay a Sheeple with Blinkers on, and only want to obtain your news and information about the world from the mainstream media outlets which are effectively owned and controlled by the trillionaires in many various ways, that effectively also run and control all the security agencies around the world, such as the Five Eyes Security Alliance, the Nine Eyes Security Alliance, the 14 Eyes Security Alliance and Israel’s Mossad, that seems to be in control at the top of the Worldwide Security Agencies Alliance Food Chain… which is effectively run and controlled by the Rothschild Family (known as the Kings of Israel, which was founded as a favour for the Rothschild Family, as their own personal country, by the English Politicians that they controlled, and still control) and Rockefeller Family, and other trillionaires and billionaires, and their Hidden Masters who they have to answer … then it is recommended that you do not read past this paragraph…. And go back to watching Australia’s Channel Nine, Channel 7, Channel 10, Fox News, MSN/BC, ABCNews (USA), Sky News, RTE and the other mainstream TV Media Networks, and reading Associated Pres, Reuters, the New York Times, the Daily Mirror (UK) the Times (London), the Sunday Times (UK), the Sunday Mirror, the Wall Street Journal, Huff/Post, The New York Post, BuzzFeed, the Brisbane Courier Mail, the Sydney Morning Herald, the Melbourne Age, the Western Australian Newspaper (known in Western Australian, which is the only daily newspaper in Western Australia, and is known as the Bible because the average West Australian believes everything written in the West Australian Newspaper as The Gospel Truth, and if it is alleged by anyone that a certain event happened in Western Australia, or Australia … and such alleged event was not reported in the West Australian Newspaper .. then according to the average West Australian …. this event could not have ever happened in Western Australia or Australia…._).

The Worldwide Security Agency Alliances have placed what they call a “D Notice” to stop any on their controlled mainstream media outlets from publishing or discussing anything about the author of this these series of books and their subject matter … thank goodness for the Internet and independent Public Libraries … such as the Australian National Library, and the Western Australian State Public Library, who are happy to have these ten series of books deposited in their libraries for the world to read and access the information within these ten series of books and other controversial books and publications written and published by this author and the Australian Weekend News and INL News Group and other courageous journalist and authors, trying to expose the truth about how this world really works and who really is in charge at the top of the Food Chain.… the author of this book has had several attempts on his life, so he can be finally silenced for … what the powerful Elite call “The Final Solution…”

These controversial explosive ten-part series of books “Chilling Words - Dark Side of the Claremont Murders” by Steven Wijat and all other books and publications written by the author and/or published by the Australian Weekend News and the INL News Media and Publishing Group over the last 25 plus years, have been completely ignored from mentioning their existence by the mainstream media outlets in Australia and around the world… when any of them could have boosted their readership and circulation or viewing by millions of extra people, and thus made more advertising dollars from their higher ratings …. Thus, the question is ….

“ …  why have the mainstream media outlets not run with publishing this controversial information in these controversial explosives ten-part series of books, and all other books and publications written by the author and/or published by the Australian Weekend News and the INL News Media and Publishing Group over the last 25 plus years?

 

The answer to this $64 Dollar Question will be revealed and more understood reading these ten-\\part series of “Chilling Words -Dark Side of the Claremont Murders”

 

The ten-part series of books titled  “Chilling Words - The Dark Side of the Claremont Murders” is a historical record of all the 30 plus years massive mainstream and alternative media coverage and the factual and legal investigations into what the mainstream media have chosen to publicly name the Claremont Serial Killings (“CSK”}, for the permanent long term use professional and non-professional people in the law, the media, government, politics, the courts, the police, detectives. Investigators, historians, researchers, writers, the office of the Director of Public Prosecutions and the general public. Without these set of volumes of books the real truth, background and circumstances exposed and brought to light in these volumes of books about the CSK. and the way the police, the prosecutions and the media have wrongfully dealt with the CSK and many other associated extremely important issues. will be lost for ever and never fully understood.

The ten-part series of books titled  “Chilling Words - The Dark Side of the Claremont Murders” among many other things shows that

 that they were not the only Claremont Serial Killing Victims, and that the Western Australian and Australian mainstream media newspaper and television outlets and networks, the Western Australian Police, the Office of the Western Australian Director of Pubic Persecutions (WADPP) and the Western Australian Government and its politicians and civil servants deliberately conspired to present false and misleading information and withhold and/or gloss over important publicly known and accessible material facts associated with the Claremont Serial Stalking, Abductions, Rapes and Murders to present a false misleading to the general public and the courts, of the circumstances, and information surrounding the disappearance of the Claremont Serial Killing victims, including the last sightings of the Claremont Serial Killing Victims …. Along with constant refusal to accept important material facts, information and evidence that was offered to them all by the Australian Weekend News and INL News Media Group , which included a sworn  affidavits of the Chilling Words stated by Sarah Anne McMahon in 1999 which exposed from her own personal knowledge extremely powerful people  and networks who were involved in the planning and carrying out of the Claremont Serial Stalking, Abductions, Sexual Assaults, Rapes and Killings that went on during the 1980’s and 1990’a in and around the Perth Suburbs in Western Australia, which included the extremely wealthy and well to do suburbs of Claremont, Cottesloe, Dalkeith, Nedlands, Peppermint Grove, Mosman Park etc

The murders that rocked Perth

RN's The History Listen examines the case that's transfixed Perth for decades.

Claremont Serial Killer: After 14 years a Perth journalist has unexpectedly learned the identity of a man caught speaking to CSK victim Jane Rimmer on CCTV in the last known images of her alive

Every era, every city has a crime that defines it.

For Perth it was the abduction and murder of these young women after a night out in the wealthy suburb of Claremont in the 1990s.

The Claremont serial killings sparked Australia’s longest running and most expensive police investigation. For twenty years, it remained a mystery.

Then, in 2016, a man never before connected with the case was charged — Bradley Robert Edwards.

The History Listen looks at the case that’s transfixed Perth for decades, the controversial tactics of the taskforce investigating the murders, and the men very publicly, wrongfully accused.

Key points:

  • Bradley Edwards is accused of murdering three women in Claremont in the 1990s
  • He was accused of two other attacks, including raping a teen girl in a cemetery

The series of books entitled "Chilling Words - Dark Side of the Claremont Murders", is making public for the first time the full hidden and glossed over and ignored material facts, information and legal and factual analysis that neither the Western Australian Police, The Western Australian Government, the Director of Public Prosecutions for Western Australia, Supreme Court Justice Stephen Hall, or even the Defense Team for Bradley Robert Edwards wanted to hear about, read or know  about before or during the long six months $50 million dollar trial of Bradley Robert Edwards, described by senior Western Australian DPP prosecutor Carmel Barbagallo an "an enigma in the dark". Telecom/Telstra telephone technician, was accused and charged of being the sole lone Claremont Serial Abductor and Killer of young innocent Western Australian girls Sarah Spiers, Jane Rimmer and Irish/Australian Lawyer Ciara Glennon.

The Dark Side of the Claremont Murders" are an explosive series of new books that neither the Western Australian Police, The Western Australian Government, the Director of Public Prosecutions for Western Australia, Supreme Court Justice Stephen Hall, or even the Defense Team for the now convicted Claremont Serial Killer, former Telecom/Telstra telephone technician, Bradley Robert Edwards wanted to hear about, read or know about.

This new explosive series of books for the first time, lift the lid off the extremely powerful well-connected people, organisations and networks, who were  really behind the Claremont Serial Abductions, rapes and killings ....why and how they happened,  why and who was involved in the over 20 year coverup by deliberately very publicly falsely accusing various scapegoats as being the Claremont Serial Killer (CSK) over those years, which included a Perth Taxi Driver Steven Ross, Lance Williams, a Western Australian Public Servant (who passed away at the age of 61 after battling Cancer and after being under surveillance by the Western Australian Police for two years ... one of the former the heads of the Macro Task Force David John Caporn was accused of having tunnel vision for far too long, when it came to Williams being considered as the main CSK Suspect, these series of books will explain why this happened), Peter Weygers, the Mayor of Claremont (who wants $10 million in compensation after his public reputation was smeared by the Claremont Serial Killer Investigation), who both were proven in the end to having nothing whatsoever to do with the Claremont Serial Stalking, Abductions, Sexual Assaults,  Rapes Killings of young women in and around the suburbs of Claremont and Perth Western Australia during the 1980's and 1990's and beyond.

This 10 part series of books titled Chilling Word- Dark Side of the Claremont Murders will help to explain and expose why an honest hard work extremely experienced old school Inspector Paul Ferguson was suddenly removed from being the head of the Macro Task, and replaced by now publicly proven corrupt, David John Caporn, who was publicly accused of corruption in helping his friend famous Western Australia footballer Barry Cable, to have serious well proven child molesting investigations dropped which had the effect of Barry Cable never being charged. There was also great pressure placed on the Freemason controlled mainstream media in Western Australia stop any media exposing Bary Bables name when the story broke.

David John Caporn, who is a well-connected extremely powerful Red Lodge Freemason, was later appointed the Assistant Western Australian Police Commissioner, and was at the time being groomed by his Freemason Brothers to become the next Western Australian Police Commissioner, to take over from Red Lodge Freemason Karl O’Callaghan.

 

 As explained by a former senior Western Australin Police Officer and former Freemason, to the author and the Australian Weekend News and the INL News Publishing Group Investigators, who was himself originally being groomed to be the next WA Police Commissioner, that every WA Police Commissioner since the WA Police Force was first formed in late 1800’s, has been a Freemason, expect for the Italian Catholic Mafia appointed Brian Bull. Brian Bull was appointed through the powerful influence of the then Italian Mafia Godfather Sam Franchina, who the author became close friends with through business circles in the 1980’s, without first realising that Sam Franchina was the Italian Catholic Mafia Godfather of Perth, Western Australia. However, over time the author become further and further into the late Sam Fanchina’s Inner Circle, and thus, bit by bit the author became to understand and realise the strong political, business, banking, legal and government connections, and the power he had over many of them. The relationship and friendship between the author and Sam Franchina is more detailed in another book called, “Stavros, Sam’s Little Mate.

 

Freemason plans to complete their long-term plans to install David John Caporn as the next Red Lodge Freemason Western Australian Police Commissioner, came to a sudden halt when the High Court of Australia in Canberra, the highest appellant court in Australia, quash Andrew Mallard’s wrongful and illegal murder conviction after being wrongfully arrested for the murder of Pamela Lawrence. The relevance here is the fact that David John Caporn was in charge of the police investigation into the murder of Mosman Park jewellery store owner Pamela Larwence, who was attacked and murdered at her jewellery shop on the afternoon of Monday, 23rd May 1994. The reason for the High Court quashing was because lawyer and barrister John Quigley, the now Attorney General of Western Australia, who prepared legal and factual submissions to support the appeal, convinced the High Court that former Western Australian Commissioners of  Police  David John Caporn, Mal Shervill, other WA Police and top senior DPP Prosecutor Kenneth Paul Bates, has effectively conspired to pervert the course of justice, by presenting misleading evidence and withholding material evidence at Andrew Mallard’s Murder Trial. In the year 2007, as a result of a Corruption and Crime Commission Investigation into the Andrew Mallard Case, led to the two now former assistant police commissioners Mal Shervill and David John Caporn, being forced to immediately resign from the Western Australian Police Force, before an Internal Polce Investigation into their illegal and wrongful acts proceeded.

Australian Weekend News and INL News Investigators uncovered a plot for Andrew Mallard to be murdered in Los Angles by a hit and run driver, Kristopher Ryan Smith, so that Andrew Mallard’s push to for a private arrest of David John Caporn, Mal Shervill and Kenneth Paul Bates for a conspiracy to pervert the course of justice would not proceed. Andrew Mallard had to cash behind him compete paying a top Sydney barrister to finalise private criminal charges against the two former assistant police commissioners Mal Shervill and David John Caporn, and senior DPP Prosecutor Kenneth Paul Bates for their involvement of a most serious deliberate criminal conspiracy to pervert the course of justice committed against Andrew Mallard, by setting out ta most devious plan to frame Andrew Mallard for a murder he did not commit. The two former assistant police commissioners Mal Shervill and David John Caporn, and senior DPP Prosecutor Kenneth Paul Bates conspired together to present false and misleading information to the jury, and also withhold material evidence that would have given the jury no choice but to find Andrew Mallard not guilty of the murder of Pamela Lawrence. Andrew Mallard made it publicly well known that he was not going to rest until they were changed and brought to justice. Andrw Mallard was prepared to spend a million dollars plus paying a top Sydney barrister in making sure this happens. However, Andrew Mallard was very naive in that he did not understand the extreme high level power base all these Red Lodge Freemasons had, and they would not let him expose them or bring them to justice.. as Sarah Anne McMahon stated to the author and the Australian Weekend News and INL News Investigators in 1999, when she made sworn statements that she had personal knowledge of names of extremely powerful well-connected people, networks and organisations in Perth that were involved in the Claremont Serial Killings and other serious crimes including abductions and murders in Perth…. That if she went to the authorities with this information, she would be dead in a week… “  what you have to realise and understand that these people, networks and organisations are simply to power to take, and expose . they will simply arrange for my death  … by one means of another if I wen and tried to expose them and ask for them to be brought to justice….” ….  stated Sarah Anne McMahon in 1999 …Sarah Anne McMahon made the author and the Australian Weekend News and INL News Investigators promise to make public what she had confided to them in her verbal recorded statements and her sworn statements, use she had been was murdered …..  or died of natural causes …. However, Sarah Anne McMahon was murdered by self-confessed serial killer and career criminal Donald Victor Morey aka Matusevich in November 2000 … because of what she knew as to who were the extremely powerful well-connected people, networks and organisations involved in the Claremont Serial Killings and other serious criminal activity that went on in Perth, Western Australia …..

“It is noted that the young Los Angeles basketball player who hit and killed WA man Andrew Mallard has been sentenced to 30 days behind bars. Kristopher Ryan Smith, 20, was facing a four-year prison term, but amazingly and incredibly enough, with the powerful well-connected people and organisation behind him, that arranged for Kristopher Ryan Smith to murder Andrew Mallard, struck a plea deal with prosecutors. Smith will also serve 300 hours of community service and pay a yet-to-be determined restitution to Mr Mallard’s Perth-based family.”

Much more details about the massive travesty committed against Andrew Mallard by

former Western Australian Commissioners of Police David John Caporn, Mal Shervill, other WA Police and top senior DPP Prosecutor Kenneth Paul Bates, who effectively conspired to pervert the course of justice, by presenting misleading evidence and withholding material evidence at Andrew Mallard’s Murder Trial. It is noted that this conspiracy to pervert the course of justice committed against Andrw Mallard, that buried in Australia’ Legal Archives as a result of what seems clearly to be a murder of Andrew Mallard in Los Angeles 18th April  2019, is very much entwined in a very important way with the long massive in depth investigations in the Claremont Serial Killings.

 

AUSTRALIAN STORY

VIDEO: The Wronged Man: Andrew Mallard

Posted  Wednesday 12 Jan 2022

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-05-16/the-wronged-man:-andrew-mallard/11121148

INTRODUCTION: Hello. I’m John Quigley, the Attorney- General for Western Australia. Twenty-five years ago a much loved woman was brutally murdered. It led to one of the most disgraceful events in WA’s legal history, an event that I became intimately involved in. Andrew Mallard was wrongfully convicted of the crime and spent 12 years in prison before being exonerated and compensated. Andrew told his story on this program nine years ago, tonight the final chapter.

ANDREW MALLARD:  I was wrongfully imprisoned.  There’s a stigma that goes with that and still goes with that. I still get abuse from certain members of the public.  I still get scoffed at et cetera.  People don’t know the full story.  They think I’m some sort of psycho, some sort of mentally ill patient. I had done nothing wrong.  I was innocent and I protested my innocence from the word ‘go’.   For near eleven and a half - nearly 12 years, I was protesting my innocence consistently, continually, because it was the truth!

TONINA KHAMIS, FRIEND: He would often tell me that he never resolved his anger. He was always angry about the police and the prosecutors that brought the injustice. 

Andrew MALLARD was wrongfully jailed for more than a decade. Years later, he died in a hit-and-run 

Andrew Mallard was cleared of murder in 2006 after spending more than 10 years in prison. Andrew Mallard spent more than a decade in prison for a crime he didn't commit. The 56-year-old Australian had been free for 13 years and was engaged to a woman in Los Angeles when he was killed in a hit-and-run crash

Mallard prosecutor complaint passed on - ABC News

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2009-08-14/mallard-prosecutor-complaint-passed-on/1390544 

Andrew Mark Mallard (16 August 1962 – 18 April 2019) was a British-born Australian who was wrongfully convicted of murder in 1995 and sentenced to life imprisonment. Almost 12 years later, after an appeal to the High Court of Australia, his conviction was quashed and a retrial ordered. However, the charges against him were dropped and Mallard was released. At the time, the Director of Public Prosecutions stated that Mallard remained the prime suspect and that if further evidence became available he could investigated whether there was misconduct by any public officer (police, prosecutors or members of parliament) associated with this case and made findings against two policemen and a senior prosecutor.

Mallard died on 18 April 2019 in Los Angeles, the home area of his fiancée, at about 1:30 am local time, after being involved in a hit and run.

 

 

These series of new explosive books which took 20 plus years to investigate and show why and how the Western Australian Police Force allowed these most violent serious horrendous crimes to continue to happen, over 20 plus years. As well show beyond any possible doubt that even if one believes and is fully convinced that, even after reading all this series of books, that Bradley Robert Edwards, was the sole lone person who planned and carried out the abductions of the three publicly named CSK Victims (CSKV) ...  the Western Australian Police Force (WAPF) have blood on their hands ... why? ...

The full answer to this question is long and complex, and is entwined in this ten part series of the books titled "Chilling Words - Dark Side of the Claremont Murders" and other various books and publications presented and published by the Australian Weekend News and INL News Publishing Group over the last 30 odd years... which include the ten part series of the books titled "Triumph of Truth - Who Is Watching the Watchers?".

 

“A young Los Angeles basketball player who hit and killed WA still be prosecuted. He was released from prison in 2006 after his conviction was quashed by the High Court, and was paid $3.25 million compensation by the state government.

The Western Australian Commission on Crime and Corruption 

 “A young Los Angeles basketball player who hit and killed Andrew Mallard, has been sentenced to only30 days behind bars. Kristopher Ryan Smith, 20, when he  was facing a four-year prison term, but struck a plea deal with prosecutors. Smith will also serve 300 hours of community service and pay a yet-to-be determined restitution to Mr Mallard’s Perth-based family.”

“Katrina Jones remembered being picked up by a "quite good looking" man on Stirling Highway in Claremont in December 1995, and said he was driving a white van and was "comfortably built" with tanned skin and dark brown hair. He told her he worked for Telecom or Telstra, she said, and did not have to pay for petrol. The man said he had been driving around the Cottesloe area looking for "damsels in distress like yourself". After dropping her at her car in Innaloo, she said he got out of the car, grabbed her arm and tried to kiss her, but left after she told him she held a blue belt in taekwondo. But under cross-examination, Ms Jones admitted she had initially told police that he had fair hair.”

All with be revealed in these series of books who the young man with fair hair was that gave Katrina Jones a lift who was driving a while van… the answer will absolutely shock the readers..

From 1988 onwards the WAPF had collected evidence of the finger prints and DNA of Bradley Robert Edwards (BRE), who has rightly or wrongly been convicted by Western Australian Supreme Court Justice Stephen Hall, as being the sole person that planned, and carried out the abductions and murders of Western Australian Jane Rimmer and Irish/Australian Irish Lawyer .. with Justice Stephen Hall stating in his judgement BRE most likely was the sole lone abductor and murderer of Western Australian Sarah Spiers.

 BRE has pleaded guilty for breaking and entering and sexual assault charges of a girl asleep in her parents’ home in Huntington in 1988 ... BRE also pleaded guilty in 1990 of a violent sexual assault of Wendy Davis, a young secretary working at the Hollywood Hospital, near Claremont, while fixing telephones for his employer Telecom (now known as Telstra).. BRE further pleaded guilty of abducting in Claremont and raping a 17-year-old virgin at the Karrakatta Cemetery in 1995 ... the WAPF collected the DNA belonging to BRE from the 1995 Karrakatta Rape Victim.

It is beyond belief that after BRE's 1990 guilty plea of a most serious violent sexual assault, with the victim Wendy Davis being at the time believing BRE was going to not only sexually her, but also murder her that day....that the BRE " was described to Wendy Davis by the  #police investigating his crime and BRF's Telecom employers in nice friendly endearing terms as "Young Bradley" ... because Young Bradley's father, who also had worked for Telecom was a well-connected Freemason...  BRE did not receive a lengthy prison sentence from the court, kept his Telecom/Telstra Job, and in fact BRE received a promotion to manager status from Telecom/Telstra .... BRE was never publicly outed with well-deserved publicity by the powerful elite and Freemason controlled Western Australian and Australian Mainstream Media Newspapers and the TV Networks … such as the West Australian Newspaper, Perth's Sunday Times Newspaper, Channel 7/9/10 or even the Australian Government owned and controlled ABC .. and BRE was invited to become a little athletics coach and to play football with a football team the Central Crocs Masters which included senior Western Australian Police and Detectives, including a senior well-connected Western Australian police officer, who was a member of the Macro Task Force, which was set up to investigate the Claremont Serial Killing Crimes.

 Also why didn't the WAPF immediately put BRE on a special high category of very likely possible suspects list for any stalking, sexual assaults, rapes, abductions, murders etc. of young women...in and around the suburbs of Perth, and even more particularly in and around the suburb of Claremont?

Well-known highly respected Chanel Nine TV Network 60 Minutes Anchor Liam Bartlett (now with the Red Lodge Freemason Kerry Stokes controlled TV Channel 7 Network – Seven West Media- who owns other publishing interests in Western Australia, such as the only statewide newspapers, being the West Australian Newspaper and the Sunday Times Newspaper, so the public angles of Liam's future stories and investigations can be controlled and effectively muzzled in they would have upset the powerful elite) ...  possess an important question to Red Lodge Freemason Chris Edwards, the previous Western Australian Police Commissioner:

"Police Commissioner .... Here's the bottom line in this case ...  Bradley Robert Edwards from 1988 for 10 years, that we know ....  was attacking, abducting, raping, assaulting and murdering for 10 years around Perth and he was never even a suspect on the WA Police Radar out of the around 18,000 suspects that you had admitted where listed as suspects in the 1995 Karrakatta Abduction and Rape of a young 17-year-old girl, until the year 2016... Mr Dawson ... how was that possible? ... and how is that anywhere near good police work?" ...Liam Bartlett

Bradley Robert Edwards (called Young Bradley by his Telecom boss and the investigating detectives, after his 1990 extremely violent sexually motivated assault at Hollywood Hospital .. trying to restrain her with hand ties) has admitted twice sexually assaulting a 17-year-old girl in 1995 in the Karrakatta Cemetery. He threw her to the ground and straddled her while he tied her wrists together behind her back.

Chris Dawson returned to the newly named Western Australia Police Force as Commissioner, after three years as the Chief Executive Officer of the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission.

Liam Bartlett @LiamBartlett9 60 Minutes Reporter Liam Bartlett returned to Channel Nine Perth in 2015 as anchor of the weekend news bulletins and to present special reports. 

The author of the series of books titled Chilling Words -The Dark Side of the Claremont Murders and the Australian Weekend News INL News Publishing and Media Group,  have spoken to a witness who says that the Macro Task Force, acting for the Western Australian Police Service and the Western Australian Government,  have in December 2015 deliberately arrested Telstra worker Bradley Robert Edwards on charges of being the 1996/1997 Claremont Serial Killer .. for the main purpose, being as a political stunt to help the Liberal Party win the next Western Australia state elections in March, 2017 and to help the real Claremont Serial Killers, and who are responsible for and behind the CSK and  other murders and serious crimes committed in Western Australia, escape from ever being publicly exposed, arrested, prosecuted and tried for their crimes.... There is also another witness who provided sworn affidavits...  knows some of the well-connected powerful people who were involved in the Claremont Serial Killings and other murders and disappearances of innocent young women in Perth, Western Australia.

The Western Australian Police, the previous Red Lodge Western Australian Police Commissioners, Karl O'Callaghan and Chris Mathews, 

the previous Western Australian Attorney General, Red Lodge Freemason Michael Minshin, and current Western Australian Attorney General John Quigley,  the previous Western Australian Premier Red Lodge Freemasons Colin Barnett and Mark McGowan, the current 31st  WA Premier Red Lodge Freemason Roger Cook, son of Dr. Hugh Cook (who served as deputy WA premier for six years), the Western Australian Minister for Police Michelle Roberts,  and the Western Australian Government,  have shown no interest in looking at or knowing about any other evidence regarding the Claremont Serial Killings and other murders and disappearances of innocent young women in Perth, Western Australia ... other than the alleged evidence that is said in the mainstream media, ...  that is trying to prove beyond any reasonable doubt, that former Telecom/Telstra Technician, Bradley Robert Edwards is the sole lone Claremont Serial Killer, and that Telstra worker Bradley Robert Edwards was able and capable, single handed to carry out the abduction and murders of publicly named by the mainstream media as the only Claremont Serial Killer Victims (CDKV)... being Sarah Spiers (who disappeared in January 1996), Jane Rimmer (who disappeared in June 1996) and Irish/Australian Lawyer Ciara Glennon (who disappeared in March 1997..

No logical straight-thinking person could ever believe that Telstra worker Bradley Robert Edwards could have been able to single handed, and without the help and assistance of corrupt police and other very powerful well-connected people, organisations and networks in Western Australia .... to be able to abduct and murder Irish/Australian lawyer Ciara Glennon, from the same Claremont suburban nightlife area, which only has one hotel and one night club, from the small strip of Stirling Highway and 

that the two other two CSKV disappeared from the year before ...  with the heat of the massive Macro Task Force, set up with absolutely unlimited WAPF police and resources, along with absolutely unlimited State of Western Australian Resources ..m  to catch the CSK or CSK's, with a large amount of police officers constantly combing the streets of Claremont with undercover operatives and other various types of massive police resources ......after the second CSKV Jane Rimmer disappeared in June 1996, which convinced the Western Australian Police Commissioner, Red Lodge Freemason Robert Falconer, formerly the head of the Victorian Drug Squad,  to form the Macro Task Force, making an urgent public announcement that .." ...it seems certain Perth has a serial killer or killers are on the loose ... thus I have decided to form the Macro Task Force with unlimited police resources with a top team of extremely experienced dedicated police that will work 24/7 until the Claremont Serial Killer or Killers are caught." 

 

Any logical and thinking person would have to question all this and say that something does not add up here.

 

The research and information in this ten-part series of the books titled, “Chilling Words - Dark Side of the Claremont Murders" have been compiled over the last 30 plus years ...  are an in-depth analysis of all the massive amount of related CSK relevant material information, evidence and various witnesses, that was publicly available to the Western Australia and Australian Mainstream Media, the Western Australian Police Force, the Western Australian Government and the Office of the Western Australian Director of Public Prosecutions ... as well as BRE's defence team headed by experienced Criminal Defence Barrister and former DPP prosecutor, Paul Yovich ...  these series of books also expose new information and evidence that was not publicly available but was offered to and completely ignored by those that spent up to $100 million over 20 years of the people of Western Australia's cash to investigate and prosecute the CSK Case ... and also completely ignored by Defence Team acting for Bradley Robert Edwards.

The Author and the Australian Weekend News and INL News Publishing and Media Group Investigative Team that have been involved with writing, compiling and presenting these ten part series of books titled "Chilling Words - Dark Side of the Claremont Murders", are not presenting them as having any sympathy of Bradley Robert Edwards, or presenting BRE as an innocent victim that has been definitely framed and wrongfully accused as being involved .. one way or another in what the Australian Mainstream Media have been named as "The Claremont Serial Killings". RBE has on his own admission is guilty of the most serious violent sexually motivated crimes, and thus has well deserved the 40-year-prison sentence handed down by Western Australian Supreme Court Justice Stephen Hall ... just for those crimes BRE has pleaded guilty for   ...  so in reality, the streets of Perth, and its surrounding suburbs of Western Australia are a lot safer with BRE securely locked up in Casuarina Prison for the next 40 odd years...

However, there are many reasons why these 10-part series or books Chilling Words -Dark Side of the Claremont Murders (CW-DSOTCM) have been compiled, written and presented. Some of these reasons are fairly simple and obvious, and some extremely complex …. if a reader takes the time to read all of the 10-part series of CW-DSOTCM all these reasons will become much clearer.

In this regard it is however, it is  noted as an initial comment,  that one of the many and various reasons for  compiled, written and presented these series of books, Chilling Words - Dark Side of the Claremont Murders (CW-DSOTCM),  is to publicly expose and reveal the deliberate conspiracy by Mainstream Media, and the WAPF and the WADPP (who act for and on behalf of the State of Western Australia) in presenting all the alleged material facts relating to the Claremont Serial Killings over the last 20 plus years, a lot of deliberate lies and misconceptions as to the facts relating to the Claremont Serial Killings Case, that that has been publicly presented to the general public and the courts, in a type of bee hive unison mind mentality, 

 

This series of books also attempts to answer the question ....

 

Why have they done this?

 

The answer to this most important question is probably more important than the actual details that will be exposed of such quite clearly deliberate conspiracy by Mainstream Media, and the WAPF and the WADPP (who act for and on behalf of the State of Western Australia) in presenting all the alleged material facts relating to the Claremont Serial Killings over the last 20 pus years, with a lot of deliberate lies and misconceptions as to the facts relating to the Claremont Serial Killings Case.

 "Hey pal. we aren't so different after all?  .. 

The Term Beehive Mentality has been used for decades to describe the behaviour of bees, however, we see it commonly used for describing our human habits on the Internet as well"

Claremont Serial Killer: After 14 years a Perth journalist has unexpectedly learned the identity of a man caught speaking to CSK victim Jane Rimmer on CCTV in the last known images of her alive by Bigwood69 

 Some comments on this article be a Reddit member: 

“Love your write up. It’s always made me cross that he attacked a woman while on the job for Telstra and they didn’t immediately fire him. Potentially he would have been less trustable to his victims if he didn’t have a Telstra uniform and van.”

bakeitagain

Count me in as another “yes, please do!” vote for both the experiences of other suspects and the possible related cases!

I think it’s important to see how wrong authorities/the media/the community can be about suspects and the real cost of “guilty until proven innocent” thinking. These are good examples that appear not to be largely due to bad “science” (like many fire cases in the past), so they are all the more impactful with regard to the take-home message about treating suspects fairly/as human beings.

mcm0313

So, to make sure I have this straight:

-the mystery man is NOT Bradley Edwards

-“Lisa” survived her abduction, the only victim known to have done so

Are the above statements correct? This seems to be a rather interesting case.

One-Assistant-5974

Truth is police here sucks n always gets people killed good example is in one case they could of saved jeanie balding but they went to the wrong carpark something so simple cost balding her life. In Australia we don't interview serial killers we convicted them on whatever n move on never really asking if there r more bodies Australia sucks one time police refused to believe a girl went missing n didn't look her body has never be found here in Australia police do terrible job everytime n media make out they r the best and normal people believe the media well they did back then

Apprehensive_Buy6624

Missing white woman syndrome? I absolutely detest that victim diminishing racial term. Secondly it was 1990s Perth, were there missing black women?, no, serial killers at all? Odd statement in context of Perth

Bigwood69

it was 1990s perth, were there missing black women?

Well yeah, black women have been going missing in Perth for thousands of years. It's an americanised term, sure, but it was more of a statement about the media climate around the cases.

Early police were on the take and avoided prosecution. They found a scapegoat. The CSK worked in the telephone exchange down the road and knew everything about early investigators. Look at the Mallard case and proximity heroin dealing in the street. Pam Lawrence knew too much and was murdered by Simon from Scarborough who was killed in Albany prison as soon as he was named. Everybody in that case is dead. Mallard died a few years later, run over by a car in Los Angeles. Ironically, Rainey was in court with the same police being investigated when his wife disappeared and he was charged when Corryn was found in "Kings Park" and a label found nearby from a wedding game, with, "The Queen" on it.

The Claremont Serial Killer – now known to be a man named Bradley Edwards – haunted the upmarket suburb of Claremont, Perth, Western Australia, and its surrounding communities for more than two decades until his arrest in 2016. The investigation was the longest-running, most expensive investigation in the State’s history and one of the largest in Australian history. Between 1996 and 1997 three young women disappeared from the area after attending the local nightclubs, and a 17-year-old girl known only to the public as “Lisa” was also abducted from the area then violently assaulted at Karrakatta Cemetery in February 1995. Nearly a year after Lisa’s attack, 18-year-old Sarah Spiers would disappear in the early hours of January 27th 1996, followed by 23 year old Jane Rimmer in June 1996, and 27 year old Ciara Glennon in March 1997.

Sarah’s 1996 vanishing created a stir in the community in what might cynically be described as Missing White Woman Syndrome, but it wasn’t until Jane Rimmer’s disappearance that the public really stood to attention. The police’s deepest fears were confirmed when a young mother picking flowers stumbled across Jane’s partly-nude body in a recess of bush on the side of the road – Perth had an active serial killer. Ciara Glennon would go missing in 1997 with her body found by a worker just weeks later. The conclusion was simple: a serial offender was targeting young, attractive, well-off women who were vulnerable to abduction in the early morning hours after a night of drinking and partying in Claremont.

In the interest of brevity, I won’t go into the details of every major suspect in the case other than to say that Edwards was on nobody’s radar until his arrest. It wasn’t until 2008 that Lisa’s attack at Karrakatta was definitively linked to the disappearances of the other girls. A miniscule amount of matter taken from Ciara’s fingernail clippings produced the DNA profile of an unknown male. It matched semen taken from Lisa’s clothes but did not match any major suspect. It was another 8 years before the real breakthrough was made and the sample was matched to a 1988 home invasion. Investigators recovered fingerprints from that case which were matched to Edwards, whose prints were taken following an assault he committed while working as a telecom technician. They had their man. Edwards could not be convicted of Sarah’s murder as her body was never recovered, however he plead guilty to the attack on Lisa and the 1988 home invasion. He would also be convicted of the murders of Jane and Ciara and received a life sentence.

While the man has been brought to justice some questions remain regarding the case: Where is Sarah Spiers’ body? Was Edwards the teen boy seen stealing underwear and flashing strangers in the late 1980s? Did Edwards commit any other murders, particularly those of Julie Cutler in 1988 and Kerry Turner in 1991? And who was the man that was caught on CCTV talking to Jane Rimmer the night she disappeared?

It seems that we now have an answer to that last question. Like the other girls, Jane had been out clubbing with friends that night. Over the years her friends have painted a consistent picture of Jane’s mood and behaviour on that night out. She appeared preoccupied and forlorn, often looking around as if to search faces in the crowd. At the end of the night, she elected to stay in Claremont alone while her friends went home. She appeared to have been expecting someone. This interpretation of events was bolstered 12 years later – the same year that the first DNA match was made – when WA police finally revealed that they had CCTV footage of Jane and released it to the public. The footage showed Jane alone, leaning on a post outside The Continental just after 12am, seemingly waiting for someone. The poor-quality video showed Jane excitedly smile and greet an unknown male who walked over to her. The angle then changes, making these the last known images of Jane alive.

Investigators were now hoping that the public could identify the young man caught speaking to Jane or that he may recognise himself and come forward. Despite having the footage all this time, police didn’t think it was important. Firstly, they theorised that the girls had all been abducted after taking a ride from a taxi driver – or somebody masquerading as a taxi driver. Secondly, they quickly developed a shortlist of suspects none of whom matched the physical description of the mystery man. Now, however, they knew their suspect list was moot and they were looking for someone that had not been identified as a person of interest up until that point. Could this man have been the perpetrator? At least one friend alleges that Jane told her she’d be meeting a new friend named “Bogsey” in Claremont that night – a nickname that Edwards was known by while in high school. Was this who she was looking for? Was it him in the footage? This information was not brought up at trial. It later transpired that police had more footage of the victims and potentially had footage of Edwards at a local petrol station the night of Ciara Glennon’s disappearance. However, the man in Jane’s footage remained unidentified even as Edwards’ trial came to a close.

In a surprisingly under-the-radar revelation, journalist Bret Christian claims to know the answer to this mystery. Christian is a respected journalist in WA, and his local Post newspapers were operating in suburbs around Claremont as the murders were going on. In 2021 he published Stalking Claremont, a comprehensive breakdown of the case that gripped the community in the 90s, and again in the late 2010s following the arrest and trial. It was after reading this book that a man came forward to Christian directly to reveal a secret he’d harboured for many years: he saw Jane that night and he was the man in the footage. Christian included the man’s story in the afterword of the second edition, release this year (2022). Like many of the details true crime fans ruminate over, the solution turned out to be quite mundane.

The man, who was not named or identified in the book, told Christian that he and Jane had grown up in the same area. He had attended the same school as Jane and her older siblings and was well acquainted with her family. His version of events was that he was out clubbing with a separate group of people and happened to bump into her outside The Continental. He hadn’t seen her in years and said something like “Little Jane Rimmer, all grown up!”. They chatted briefly and went their separate ways again, with him probably being the last person to speak to her. He immediately recognised himself in the CCTV footage but chose not to come forward due to struggles in his personal life. He also feared becoming a suspect in the case and the damage it may do to his life. This fear was not unfounded, as three key suspects – Lance Williams, Peter Weygers, and Steven Ross – all suffered years-long campaigns of surveillance and harassment at the hands of investigators who were convinced of their guilt. All three suffered major personal upheaval, psychological distress, and medical complications as a result of the stress. Perhaps I’ll write up an article on these respective suspects and their experiences if anybody is interested to hear about them.

And that’s it! This turned out a lot longer than I anticipated but I wanted to make sure the total context was explained. I’m considering writing more about this case since it’s local to me and I’ve been down a rabbit hole with this book and other information online. Specifically, I’m thinking of writing up some of the missing persons/murder cases which are suspected to be linked to the Claremont killings especially Julie Cutler and Kerry Turner so if anybody is interested let me know in the comments. Thanks!

Some comments to the above article

 

 TheBalternaut

Please share the stories of all the players involved! Your writing is quite engaging and a resolved mystery still can be explored from multiple angles! I'm especially interested in how the suspected men were treated by the police and media. That's something we ignore often.

DaOozi9mm

Can't really blame the guy for not coming forward, especially when you consider how the WA police routinely vilified witnesses and the entire force was rife with corruption.

The Claremont case was solvable very early in the investigation. It will be studied for a long time as a prime example of what not to do.

styxx374

I’m thinking of writing up some of the missing persons/murder cases which are suspected to be linked to the Claremont killings especially Julie Cutler and Kerry Turner

Please do post! I'm always interested in new cases to this sub!

Bigwood69

Rad! I'll probably do Julie Cutler since it really lingers in my mind and kicked me off on my eventual CSK rabbit hole.

Johnny66Johnny

"Perhaps I’ll write up an article on these respective suspects and their experiences if anybody is interested to hear about them..."

Yes, please do! The 'collateral damage' inflicted upon the (ultimately) innocent during the course of such major crime investigations is often overlooked or outright forgotten in the wake of successful prosecutions. These people deserve to have their horrendous experiences detailed, if only to act as a warning in future investigations...

            bertiesghost

I lived in Perth during my younger years and eventually returned to the UK. The Claremont killer put the fear into me like a phantom bogeyman. I was so happy to hear he’d been caught.

Bigwood69

It's so surreal for something like this to happen so close to home hey. Just the other day, after reading the book and talking to a mate about it, I learned that "Lisa" is married to a friend of mine's boss. It feels so alien then something like that hits you in the face and you feel how very real it all was and is.

DaisySunflower86

Wow that’s incredible and can’t blame the guy considering the media frenzy and Lance Williams etc. I remember Sarah’s friends coming into my workplace and asking if they could put up posters. Also remember hearing about discovery of Jane’s body while in a shop and everyone talking about it. When they arrested Edwards I went straight to where Jane was found and left flowers. I couldn’t believe they’d finally found the psycho. I wish he’d fess up to where Sarah is, her poor family.

 

I followed this case closely over the years, including the very detailed Claremont podcast during the trial. I too wondered why the person in the footage was not identified. How do you feel about that guy not coming forward to identify himself? I wonder if his ex wife , daughter or anyone else who knew him will ever do an interview.

sophiespo

You're write up is great and I love reading about this case. I'm just going to nit pick one tiny detail - I was a teenager when Sarah Spiers went missing and I can tell you for sure that the public took notice.

Bigwood69

Yeah! I probably glossed over it, I know a lot of effort and attention went into Sarah from the get-go but it was easier to dismiss as a once off thing until Jane disappeared. The book talks a lot about that period and how a lot of people were concerned, but there was also a lot of people who didn't take the risks seriously. I just breezed over it to get the basic info in!

the-audience

Great write up! I started uni in February 1996 and every bus had a ‘Missing’ poster of Sarah Spiers inside.

I can understand “CCTV guy”’s reluctance to come forward.

Love your write up. It’s always made me cross that he attacked a woman while on the job for Telstra and they didn’t immediately fire him. Potentially he would have been less trustable to his victims if he didn’t have a Telstra uniform and van.

Bigwood69

Yeah it's a massive massive mistake that I'm sure those involved have to live with every day, but then again I also think that he would have found some other way to operate. Maybe he'd have gone back to blitz attacks or something like this. Thankfully that kind of oversight is way less likely today, though not unthinkable either sadly

factsnack

Julie Cutler is a big one for me. The circumstances are so odd

deniall83

I’m from Perth and this case always fascinated me growing up. I was 13-14 when these events took place. I’m so glad they found the killer and that he’ll spend the rest of his life in jail.

wilmaismyhomegirl83

My exFIL was a taxi driver in the 90s. He chose to stay away from Claremont just because every taxi driver was under suspicion.

Turns out it’s a Telstra telecommunications operator.

Bigwood69

Yep, and they actually had more than a few reports that telecom/telstra cars were seen around the time of the crimes lurking in the area. The taxi theory made sense but at a certain point they should have acknowledged the tunnel vision they had.

mcm0313

So, to make sure I have this straight:

-the mystery man is NOT Bradley Edwards

-“Lisa” survived her abduction, the only victim known to have done so

Are the above statements correct? This seems to be a rather interesting case.

Bigwood69

It's right that Edwards was apparently not the man in the footage. RE: Lisa, she is the only know victim to survive after being abducted by Edwards, though he had other living victims who he only attempted to assault but not abduct or kill. Lisa survived by playing dead until she was confident enough to make a run for it. There is the chance that he had other victims that he let go, but who didn't come forward for one reason or another - maybe they were afraid to or just wanted to move on with their lives. It also seems very likely based on contemporaneous reports that he picked up other girls in the area without harming them because the circumstances weren't right for him. The author of the book I referenced also puts forward the theory that the reason Lisa survived and the other girls didn't was that Lisa didn't scream, while witness reports concerning the three missing girls seem to indicate that they did scream or fight and possibly panicked Edwards enough to kill them. Basically, out of flight, fight, and freeze, Lisa froze and that might have saved her in the end.

glamfest

Edwards met up with his girlfriend Jane Rimmer at midnight.

Of course MM is BE

 

mcm0313

The mystery man is the guy caught talking to Jane on CCTV. Edwards killed her but he wasn’t the guy on camera. That was an unnamed childhood friend of hers.

anchors__away

This was awesome to see. I’m a Perth native born in the early-mid 90’s and I distinctly remember my parents talking about this case when I was a super young kid. It was like a black cloud over the city in the late 90’s/early 2000’s.

Missing white woman syndrome? I absolutely detest that victim diminishing racial term. Secondly it was 1990s Perth, were there missing black women?, no, serial killers at all? Odd statement in context of Perth.

Bigwood69

it was 1990s perth, were there missing black women?

Well yeah, black women have been going missing in Perth for thousands of years. It's an americanised term, sure, but it was more of a statement about the media climate around the cases.

Perhaps I’ll write up an article on these respective suspects and their experiences if anybody is interested to hear about them.

Truth is police here sucks n always gets people killed good example is in one case they could of saved jeanie balding but they went to the wrong carpark something so simple cost balding her life.

Early police were on the take and avoided prosecution. They found a scapegoat. The CSK worked in the telephone exchange down the road and knew everything about early investigators. Look at the Mallard case and proximity heroin dealing in the street. Pam Lawrence knew too much and was murdered by Simon from Scarborough who was killed in Albany prison as soon as he was named. Everybody in that case is dead. Mallard died a few years later, run over by a car in Los Angeles. Ironically, Rainey was in court with the same police being investigated when his wife disappeared and he was charged when Corryn was found in "Kings Park" and a label found nearby from a wedding game, with, "The Queen" on it.

INLTV.biz Trump Calls An End To The Israel Hamas Gaza War

A retired senior MI6 Executive made a public statement,  which was filmed by the INL News Group as part of a 50 year investigation into the influence of Mossad/Israel/MI6/CIA/Five Eyes has on the world's politics, business, banking, finance, media, the police, governments, science and other sections of society.... he stated as a matter of fact, that...

"...no person, organisation or company can not become a billionaire without the approval of.. Mossad/Israel/MI6/CIA/Five Eyes..."

Thus for Hamas and the Heads of Hamas to be billionaires, they have to have been approved by Mossad/Israel/MI6/CIA/Five Eyes..

Mossad/Israel/MI6/CIA/Five Eyes.. created and funded Hamas and its major heads so that they can play the role of an imaginary enemy to Israel and the Israel People... by allowing Hamas Operatives to attack Israel on the 7th October, 2023, and on previous occasions, to give Israel and its IDF Army and air force as excuse to attack Gaza, and completely obliterate 70% plus of the residential homes, schools, universities, hospitals, mosques and other infrastructures and buildings in Gaza, and slaughter and murder over 30,000 innocent Palestinians, which includes over 20,000 of women and children..

The reward given to the heads of Hamas, to pretend to be an imaginary enemy as cruel vicious evil terrorist group to keeps making public statements that "..Hamas (which is simply a business marketing name) is continue to attack Israel and its populations and wipe Israel and its population off the face of the earth..."...is to set up the heads of Hamas and their families to become multi-billionaires so they can live the luxury life in other places, other than Gaza.... the heads of Hamas and their wealth are not in Gaza, and simply pay and influence a few low level Hamas Fighters to appear to be fighting the Israel Defence Force Soldiers ... but the reality the heads of Hamas have handed Gaza and the Palestinian People living in Gaza on a Silver Platter in return for making the heads of Hamas and their families multi-billionaires..

The wealth in the top Hamas leadership is reported to come from various sources including Qatar, which has been allegedly supporting them with financial aid.

While Palestinians in the Gaza Strip scramble for essential needs such as medicine, food and shelter amid the carnage following the October 7 surpise attack on Israel, the top leadership of Hamas is reportedly living a life in opulence in a sanctuary far from Gaza, a coastal Palestinian enclave for which they claim to have been fighting the war. Majority of over 2 million population of Gaza live in dire poverty.

“Since UNRWA has long insisted it has no political screen on its aid, and since Hamas is viewed as a political party, we know with near certainty that our taxpayer dollars have been delivered into the hands of Hamas,” the FDD said, adding that the Trump administration ended US contributions to UNRWA because of the Hamas connection.

Hamas leaders worth staggering $11B revel in luxury — while Gaza’s people suffer

Top Hamas leaders Ismail Haniyeh (L). Moussa Abu Marzuk (R)(AFP
Three top leaders of Hamas alone have a staggering fortune of $11 billion, according to a report by New York Post. Ismail Haniyeh, Moussa Abu Marzuk and Khaleed Mashal have been maintaining their luxury lifestyle in Qatar, a relatively small yet powerful emirate in the Middle East, which provided a safe haven for them. Notably, the country also has a significant presence in the American military.

The wealth in the top Hamas leadership is reported to come from various sources including Qatar, which has been allegedly supporting them with annual financial aid, which is purported to benefit the top brass to maintain control in Gaza.

The report said all three leaders were seen frequenting diplomatic clubs and travelling private jets. The Israel embassy in the US also shared a post on X (formerly Twitter) giving a breakup of how much each of the top three leaders is worth.

Haniyeh and Mashal are worth $4 billion, and Marzuk is worth $3 billion. It further said that Hamas' annual turnover is $1 billion.

Meanwhile, in a series of interviews, the Hamas' top leadership expressed little desire to govern Gaza, instead, they wanted the war with Israel to remain permanent.

"I hope that the state of war with Israel will become permanent on all the borders and that the Arab world will stand with us," Hamas' media advisor Taher El-Nounou told NYT.

The cumulative net worth of Hamas’s top leaders abroad is estimated at $11 billion, and they do not hide their taste for the high life

Khaled Mashaal

 

Article content

Hamas’s leadership openly embraces its lavish lifestyle, staying at five-star hotels in Qatar and Turkey and flying internationally on private jets, even as Palestinians in Gaza fight over humanitarian aid in the terrorist-ruled enclave.


 

  “A good life is a sign of success and power,” IDF Brig. Gen. (res.) Yosef Kuperwasser, senior research fellow at the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, told JNS. 

And it isn’t just the Hamas leadership abroad, he added.

“I have been once or twice to the Kerem Shalom crossing [with Gaza]. You would not believe the number of jacuzzis going into the Strip,” he said.

The cumulative net worth of Hamas’s top leaders abroad—Ismail Haniyeh, Moussa Abu Marzouk and Khaled Mashaal—is estimated at $11 billion, and they do not hide their taste for the high life.

For instance, images of Mashaal enthusiastically playing ping-pong or pedaling on a stationary bike at luxurious hotel fitness centers have gone viral on social media since Hamas’s Oct. 7 massacre.

This prompted Bill Gates, who owns a stake in the Four Seasons hotel in Doha, to confirm publicly that Mashaal was not staying at the property, whose higher-end offerings include sea-view suites at $900 per night.

“Hamas’s leadership both inside and outside Gaza steals money from Gazans, who live in bad conditions, to build military infrastructure and for private purposes, including to maintain their expensive lifestyles,” said IDF Maj. Gen. (res.) Yaakov Amidror, former national security adviser to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

 

But where does the terror group—the second richest in the world—get its $2 billion annual budget from?

The Palestinian Authority

The Palestinian Authority transfers to Gaza approximately 33% of its total annual budget. These funds are theoretically meant to pay the salaries of Fatah officials, as well as for various goods and services for residents of the Strip, such as water, electricity and medical treatment.

Since Hamas ousted Fatah from Gaza in a 2007 internecine war, tensions between them have produced several diplomatic conflicts and subsequent failed reconciliation efforts.

The P.A., which Israel previously accused of paying the salaries of some Hamas terrorists in the Strip, maintains infrastructure and a certain level of influence inside the enclave through its financial contributions.

Taxation

Hamas also raises hundreds of millions of dollars annually from taxes imposed on goods arriving through the Rafah crossing with Egypt and the Kerem Shalom crossing with Israel, in addition to tariffs on contraband entering the Strip through vast networks of smuggling tunnels.

Iran

Contributions from Iran to the terror organization are estimated at $250 million each year since 2014.

Hamas has since its inception in 1987 received significant support, including weapons and training from Tehran.

At first, Hamas tried to preserve relative independence but following the death of Sheikh Ahmed Yassin in May 2004, Khaled Mashaal sought to increase funding from Islamic Republic significantly.

Iran’s financial and military support to Hamas has continued to grow steadily over time, especially after the terror organization took control of Gaza in 2007.

Hamas ran into a disagreement with Iran over the former’s opposition to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad during the civil war.

However, Iranian funding for Hamas never completely stopped. By early 2014, relations between Hamas and Iran started to get back on track.

It is largely believed that Iran’s terrorist programs, and its dedicated effort to arm and finance Hamas, enabled Hamas to launch its Oct. 7 assault on southern Israel which killed 1,200 people.

Charity

Hamas also collects hundreds of millions of dollars from various aid groups and its web of so-called charitable organizations.

 

From 2014-2020, U.N. agencies spent nearly $4.5 billion in Gaza. More than 80% of that funding is channeled through the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees, who make up three-fourths of the enclave’s population.

In November, Berlin took steps towards prohibiting any Hamas activity on German soil, including banning charities with links to Hamas, such as the Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network.

Later that month, an investigation by Focus on Western Islamism (FWI), an organization that works to expose Islamist extremism and finances, revealed that over $260 million were raised by Hamas-aligned charities in the United States.

Qatar

Since 2018, Qatar has also been transferring tens of millions of dollars in cash monthly to Hamas, at one point reaching nearly $400 million per year.

“It was the Israeli government’s policy to allow Qatar to send funds to the Gaza Strip,” explained Brandon Friedman, a senior research fellow at Tel Aviv University’s Moshe Dayan Center for Middle Eastern and African Studies. “The thinking was that it would buy quiet.”

For Qatar, “Maintaining…longstanding ties to terror organizations is part of the country’s grand strategy,” said Friedman.

Over the years, Qatar has hosted members of Al-Qaeda, Islamic State and the Taliban, having mediated the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.

“Giving terror groups a safe haven is a form of security for Qatar. It insulates the royal family. In the past, terror groups targeted ruling families in the Gulf countries, but never in Qatar,” added Friedman.

Doha also spreads Hamas propaganda through its state-run Al Jazeera network.

Qatar’s ties to Hamas made the country a key mediator in the negotiations that led to a ceasefire deal between Israel and the Palestinian terror group, making Doha a valuable player in the international community.

However, voices have started calling on Washington to reassess its relationship with Doha.

Last month, congressman Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) introduced the Trust But Verify Act, which would  temporarily suspend the state of Qatar’s status as a Major Non-NATO Ally until such time Doha renounces support for terror groups, including Hamas.

Such a reassessment could include moving the U.S. Air Force from Doha to Bahrain, where the U.S. Navy’s Fifth Fleet is currently hosted.

The largest U.S. military base in the Middle East, Qatar’s Al Udeid Air Base hosts 11,000 U.S. military personnel.

It could also lead to the freezing of assets of Hamas’s enablers.

“Hamas misused Qatari hospitality to celebrate the murder of more than 1,200 Israelis,” said the JCPA’s Kuperwasser.

“You can’t be on the one hand a major non-NATO ally of the United States, and at the same time provide excellent living conditions to the leadership of a terror organization responsible for the most horrific, barbaric attack of all time,” he added.

According to Yoel Guzansky, a senior fellow at the Tel Aviv-based Institute for National Security Studies, Doha could be persuaded to change tack.

However, he added, “If Qatar expels Hamas leaders, they will do it gently, quietly and not necessarily right now, in order to save face.”

Turkey

Turkey’s ties to Hamas, on the other hand, stem from a concerted policy implemented by longtime President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

“Hamas is not a terrorist organization, it is a liberation group, ‘mujahideen’ waging a battle to protect its lands and people,” Erdogan told lawmakers from his ruling AK Party during a parliament speech on Oct. 25.

Around the same time, Ankara vehemently denied rumors of having asked Hamas leaders to leave the country. In fact, Erdogan’s government reportedly provided them with Turkish passports.

Earlier this year, Israel seized 16 tons of explosive materials originating in Turkey and bound for Gaza.

“It is very unlikely that Turkey would ever expel Hamas. U.S. pressure might even be counterproductive in this scenario,” TAU’s Friedman said.

Hamas’s military capabilities

What doesn’t go to subsidizing its leadership’s lavish lifestyles, Hamas spends on terror infrastructure and weaponry, since 2007 turning the Gaza Strip into a terror fortress.

The IDF estimates that the terror organization comprised approximately 30,000 fighters before Oct. 7, some 7,000 of whom have since been killed during the war.

Hamas’s military arsenal included some 15,000 rockets, including long-range missiles, drones and a wide range of bombs and mortars.

Hamas relies on its network of tunnels, some of which lead beyond Gaza into Israel, to move underneath the Gaza Strip, undetected, assemble and store weapons and supplies including parts of its large arsenal of rockets and launch platforms.

Ending Hamas

Israel has vowed to destroy the terrorist group as a political and military entity in Gaza following its invasion of southern Israel on Oct. 7 and massacre of 1,200 people.

Israel has also declared that it will target the organization’s leadership, including those living safely abroad.

As part of its effort to isolate and destroy Hamas, Israel significantly restricted the amount of aid allowed into the Strip, and withheld $100 million that the P.A. had earmarked Gaza.

However, according to Amidror, the protection and perks afforded to Hamas leaders will continue unless Israel puts its foot down.

“Once they are killed, they won’t be able to travel anymore,” said Amidror.

Indeed, Netanyahu has vowed to target the heads of Hamas “wherever they are,” and Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said “they are living on borrowed time.”

According to the INSS’s Guzansky, these statements were made for psychological effect, and the targeting of Hamas terrorists abroad will not happen immediately.

“One of the reasons that I think Netanyahu and Gallant said it out loud, publicly, is that they want them [Hamas leadership] to feel chased,” explained Guzansky. “They want them to feel fear. It’s psychological warfare. They are letting them know that Israel is coming from them,” he added.

 

Hamas's blood-soaked billions: How does the terror group stay rich?

Israel and the US have tried to shut down the flow of money to Hamas. Has it worked? According to experts, Hamas seems financially bulletproof.

There are 3,194 billionaires worldwide. Some on the list are well known, such as Elon Musk (Tesla), Jeff Bezos (Amazon), and Mark Zuckerburg (Facebook/Meta)

But some names on the list arouse puzzlement, disgust, and fury, such as Musa Abu Marzouk ($2.3 billion) and Khaled Mashaal ($2.6 billion).

Marzouk, senior Hamas leader, was named by the US Treasury as “Specially Designated Terrorist.” In 1995, he was arrested on charges of supporting terrorism and spent two years in a US prison. In 2001, in the aftermath of 9/11, it was found that he had transferred funds to some of the 21 Al-Qaeda operatives who carried out the murderous attacks.

Mashaal is a former head of Hamas. In December 2012, after Israel’s Pillar of Defense operation in Gaza, Mashaal addressed tens of thousands on Hamas’s 25th anniversary in Gaza City’s Katiba Square, near today’s Shifa Hospital. He vowed “Palestine from the river to the sea, from the north to the south,” a genocidal slogan embraced by supporters of Hamas at US colleges.

Mashaal has huge investments in Egyptian and Persian Gulf banks, along with real estate holdings.

Ismail Haniyeh, the current head of Hamas’s political bureau, now living in luxury in Qatar, is said to be worth a whopping $4 billion. In the past, he has been booted out of both Jordan and Syria.

How did they get their money? And how is it that under our noses, Hamas has an octopus-like financial empire that funds its terrorism – a network alive and well even today? How come Hamas has fabulous financial wealth, despite being legally defined as a terrorist organization by the US and the European Union, which together manage the major global financial markets and supposedly sanction terrorist groups?

Col. (res.) Moshe Elad was for a time a colleague of mine at the Neaman Institute. In the IDF, he served for 30 years in administrative roles in the West Bank and has for years researched Arab terrorist finances. In 2014, he explained to journalist Ela Levy-Weinrib in the business daily Globes that founders and leaders of Hamas were refugees or descendants of refugees. “They had no money at all. …The organization was nurtured by the Israeli military government, which fostered the Islamic associations working in the Gaza Strip as a counterweight to the PLO.”

So, how did they amass their incredible wealth? “From two directions. Legacies from the deceased. Money from charity funds,” Elad said. “Fundraisers began operating in the US to collect money for Hamas. Here, the Hamas leaders began to get their hands on really big money.”

Abu Marzouk was one of the big fundraisers, Elad noted. “He’s an amazing financier.”

Globes reported that a decade earlier, one of the leading Arab newspapers in the Mideast, Al-Awsat, observed that there are at least 600 millionaires in the Gaza Strip. Many of their villas were flattened by the IDF in the current Swords of Iron operation.

Elad explained that senior Hamas leaders charge a heavy 25% tax plus $2,000 on disassembled vehicles “imported” through smuggling tunnels from Egypt. Hamas taxes Gaza merchants on everything traded. Hamas seized Gaza land in prime areas, near the sea and near what were the Israeli settlements of Gush Katif.

“They were the cat guarding the cream,” Elad said. He described how Hamas invented names of fictitious workers abroad, whose wages went directly to Hamas from employers, knowingly.

“Shortly after [Hamas] got power [in June 2007], they took control of fuel, communications, and any other profitable sector … There are get-rich-quick schemes and corruption in Western society, too, but there, it’s done sophisticatedly with envelopes of money and complex structures of bribery…Among the Palestinians, they tell you straight out, ‘I want to get rich.’”

Sprawling financial empire

Perhaps the most detailed account of Hamas billions is found in the business daily The Economist’s November 30 report. “Hamas controls a sprawling financial empire that could bring in around $1 billion a year,” it states.

The lion’s share of Hamas’s money, $500 million yearly, comes from its investments. “Turkey’s banking system helps Hamas dodge American sanctions…a booming, lightly regulated crypto market makes things even easier. Many of Turkey’s biggest banks have been accused by Israel and America of knowingly storing Hamas’s cash.”

Israel and the US have tried to shut down the flow of money to Hamas. Has it worked?

“Hamas seems financially bulletproof,” The Economist notes. “Israel has managed to inflict little harm on either its income or its savings. Turkey’s banks have been uncooperative. …Hamas hides its companies well. ‘Every time you think you’ve got a big fish, it changes its name,’ despairs one ex-Treasury official.

“In fact, the risk is that Hamas’s finances will improve. As Israel steps up its operations in Gaza, countries with pro-Palestinian populations may make life even easier for Hamas’s bankers. …Some civil servants in [Turkish President] Erdogan’s economic ministry are coordinating with Hamas’s finance office.

“For Israel, the prospect of Hamas growing richer despite the war would be a bitter failure. With its wealth and financial roots intact, Hamas – or a similar organization – might re-emerge and flourish anew from the destruction. While Gazans have been plunged into tragedy, Hamas’s money is safely ensconced elsewhere – and its financiers can eat lobster as they gaze across the Bosporus.”

Not a dime has gone to Gaza!

The German newspaper Die Welt reported recently on documents detailing Hamas wealth. As reported by the UK Jewish News, “Its secret terror portfolio includes between 30 to 40 companies operating mainly in the construction and real estate sectors…located in Turkey, Qatar, Algeria, United Arab Emirates, and Sudan.”

A financial investigator noted to Die Welt, “This is the golden safety net for the Hamas leadership and their families… Not a dime of it has gone to Gaza.”

Die Welt found that “the Hamas leadership has dozens of accounts in Turkish banks…Correspondent banks in Munich and Frankfurt [Deutsche Bank, Citibank Europe] make transfers to Europe for the Turkish branches.”

The financial wizard behind Hamas billions is Zaher Ali Moussa Jabarin, one of the more than 1,000 terrorists exchanged for Gilad Schalit in 2011 (among them, Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar). Jabarin lives in Turkey, has a Qatari passport, and serves as Hamas’s liaison to Iran. Jabarin reports to Salesh al-Arouri, the deputy head of Hamas’s political bureau, who now lives in Lebanon. Al-Arouri said recently that Hamas’s war against Israel “hasn’t even really begun.”

Find and fight the money?

Writing in the Israeli daily Haaretz, David Rosenberg reports that “a new task force, comprising the US and eleven other countries, has been established…Its stated job is to ‘enhance financial intelligence on terrorist-financing related matters, discuss best practices, lessons learned and opportunities for additional actions… It is a critical front in the war against Hamas and its peers.”

What are the odds that the flow of Hamas’s billions from abroad can be halted or curtailed? Probably rather low.

“There are enough friends of Hamas, such as Turkish President Erdogan, with the means to undermine the crackdown effort. Turkish officials have given Hamas free rein, if not actual support,” Rosenberg says. “New domiciles, like Russia, friendly toward Hamas, may emerge. Not to mention the mountains of cash that oil-rich Arab countries have, and Iran.” Rosenberg believes that some host countries like Qatar and UAE “may now be having second thoughts about playing home to Hamas businesses.” That remains to be seen.

How Hamas sold Israel short

This recent Haaretz headline by Ido Baum left me stunned: “Did Hamas make millions betting against Israeli shares before October 7 massacre?”

You could not make this up.

According to a scholarly research paper by Robert Jackson (NYU) and Joshua Mitts (Columbia University), published on December 4, “We document a significant spike in short selling in the principal Israeli-company exchange traded fund days before the October 7 Hamas attack.”

Short selling means you borrow shares and sell them at a high price, then buy them back at a low price and repay the loan when their price falls. If you know in advance that the share price will fall, there is no risk involved. Jackson is a former commissioner of the US Securities and Exchange Commission. Mitts is an expert on short selling and is familiar with the Israeli market.

It appears that traders who were fed advance information by Hamas sold Israeli shares short, anticipating they would drop precipitously; when they did, they bought back the shares and profited the difference. Many millions. IDF Intelligence was unaware of what financial traders knew. It boggles the mind.

Moreover, Hamas has apparently done this before – sold Israeli shares short, just before a bout of rocket firings and ensuing combat. Jackson and Mitts found that “We identify increases in short selling before the [October 7] attack in dozens of Israeli companies traded in Tel Aviv. For one Israeli company, 4.43 million new shares sold short over the September 14 to October 5 period yielded profits of nearly $900 million on that additional short selling for one out of hundreds of securities traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange… We do identify a sharp and unusual increase, just before the attacks, in trading in risky short-dated options on these companies expiring just after the attacks. We identify similar patterns in the Israeli Exchange Traded Funds at times when it was reported that Hamas was planning to execute a similar attack in October. Our findings suggest that traders informed about the coming attacks profited from these tragic events.”

In Haaretz, Baum noted that “Jackson and Mitts do not claim that the information originated in Hamas. But the information they collated suggests as much. Hamas had planned the attack for months, and its leader Yahya Sinwar seems to have planned not just the tactical aspect but logistical and financial aspects as well.” We were asleep.

On December 5, President Isaac Herzog received the diplomatic credentials of incoming US Ambassador to Israel, Jacob J. Lew. He is a former US secretary of the Treasury and expert on the sanctioning of terrorist organizations.

“I was raised with a deep appreciation of the importance of Israel, and I worked during my career in government to deepen the US-Israel relationship to meet critical immediate security needs,” he said.

I hope and trust that Lew will provide valuable wisdom and experience to Israel in slashing the Hamas lifeline of blood-soaked money. ■

The cumulative net worth of Hamas’s top leaders abroad is estimated at $11 billion, and they do not hide their taste for the high life

 https://nationalpost.com/news/world/israel-middle-east/hamas-money

Khaled Mashaal

Iran

Contributions from Iran to the terror organization are estimated at $250 million each year since 2014.

Hamas has since its inception in 1987 received significant support, including weapons and training from Tehran.

At first, Hamas tried to preserve relative independence but following the death of Sheikh Ahmed Yassin in May 2004, Khaled Mashaal sought to increase funding from Islamic Republic significantly 

Iran’s financial and military support to Hamas has continued to grow steadily over time, especially after the terror organization took control of Gaza in 2007. 

Hamas ran into a disagreement with Iran over the former’s opposition to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad during the civil war.

However, Iranian funding for Hamas never completely stopped. By early 2014, relations between Hamas and Iran started to get back on track.

It is largely believed that Iran’s terrorist programs, and its dedicated effort to arm and finance Hamas, enabled Hamas to launch its Oct. 7 assault on southern Israel which killed 1,200 people. 

Charity

Hamas also collects hundreds of millions of dollars from various aid groups and its web of so-called charitable organizations.

From 2014-2020, U.N. agencies spent nearly $4.5 billion in Gaza. More than 80% of that funding is channeled through the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees, who make up three-fourths of the enclave’s population.

In November, Berlin took steps towards prohibiting any Hamas activity on German soil, including banning charities with links to Hamas, such as the Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network.

Later that month, an investigation by Focus on Western Islamism (FWI), an organization that works to expose Islamist extremism and finances, revealed that over $260 million were raised by Hamas-aligned charities in the United States.

Qatar

Since 2018, Qatar has also been transferring tens of millions of dollars in cash monthly to Hamas, at one point reaching nearly $400 million per year.

“It was the Israeli government’s policy to allow Qatar to send funds to the Gaza Strip,” explained Brandon Friedman, a senior research fellow at Tel Aviv University’s Moshe Dayan Center for Middle Eastern and African Studies. “The thinking was that it would buy quiet.”

For Qatar, “Maintaining…longstanding ties to terror organizations is part of the country’s grand strategy,” said Friedman.

Over the years, Qatar has hosted members of Al-Qaeda, Islamic State and the Taliban, having mediated the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.

“Giving terror groups a safe haven is a form of security for Qatar. It insulates the royal family. In the past, terror groups targeted ruling families in the Gulf countries, but never in Qatar,” added Friedman.

Doha also spreads Hamas propaganda through its state-run Al Jazeera network.

Qatar’s ties to Hamas made the country a key mediator in the negotiations that led to a ceasefire deal between Israel and the Palestinian terror group, making Doha a valuable player in the international community.

However, voices have started calling on Washington to reassess its relationship with Doha.

 Last month, congressman Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) introduced the Trust But Verify Act, which would  temporarily suspend the state of Qatar’s status as a Major Non-NATO Ally until such time Doha renounces support for terror groups, including Hamas.

Such a reassessment could include moving the U.S. Air Force from Doha to Bahrain, where the U.S. Navy’s Fifth Fleet is currently hosted 

The largest U.S. military base in the Middle East, Qatar’s Al Udeid Air Base hosts 11,000 U.S. military personnel.

It could also lead to the freezing of assets of Hamas’s enablers.

“Hamas misused Qatari hospitality to celebrate the murder of more than 1,200 Israelis,” said the JCPA’s Kuperwasser.

“You can’t be on the one hand a major non-NATO ally of the United States, and at the same time provide excellent living conditions to the leadership of a terror organization responsible for the most horrific, barbaric attack of all time,” he added. 

According to Yoel Guzansky, a senior fellow at the Tel Aviv-based Institute for National Security Studies, Doha could be persuaded to change tack.

However, he added, “If Qatar expels Hamas leaders, they will do it gently, quietly and not necessarily right now, in order to save face.”

Turkey

Turkey’s ties to Hamas, on the other hand, stem from a concerted policy implemented by longtime President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

“Hamas is not a terrorist organization, it is a liberation group, ‘mujahideen’ waging a battle to protect its lands and people,” Erdogan told lawmakers from his ruling AK Party during a parliament speech on Oct. 25 

Around the same time, Ankara vehemently denied rumors of having asked Hamas leaders to leave the country. In fact, Erdogan’s government reportedly provided them with Turkish passports.

Earlier this year, Israel seized 16 tons of explosive materials originating in Turkey and bound for Gaza.

“It is very unlikely that Turkey would ever expel Hamas. U.S. pressure might even be counterproductive in this scenario,” TAU’s Friedman said.

Hamas’s military capabilities

 What doesn’t go to subsidizing its leadership’s lavish lifestyles, Hamas spends on terror infrastructure and weaponry, since 2007 turning the Gaza Strip into a terror fortress.

The IDF estimates that the terror organization comprised approximately 30,000 fighters before Oct. 7, some 7,000 of whom have since been killed during the war.

Hamas’s military arsenal included some 15,000 rockets, including long-range missiles, drones and a wide range of bombs and mortars.

Hamas relies on its network of tunnels, some of which lead beyond Gaza into Israel, to move underneath the Gaza Strip, undetected, assemble and store weapons and supplies including parts of its large arsenal of rockets and launch platforms. 

Ending Hamas 

Israel has vowed to destroy the terrorist group as a political and military entity in Gaza following its invasion of southern Israel on Oct. 7 and massacre of 1,200 people.

Israel has also declared that it will target the organization’s leadership, including those living safely abroad.

As part of its effort to isolate and destroy Hamas, Israel significantly restricted the amount of aid allowed into the Strip, and withheld $100 million that the P.A. had earmarked Gaza.

However, according to Amidror, the protection and perks afforded to Hamas leaders will continue unless Israel puts its foot down 

“Once they are killed, they won’t be able to travel anymore,” said Amidror.

Indeed, Netanyahu has vowed to target the heads of Hamas “wherever they are,” and Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said “they are living on borrowed time.”

According to the INSS’s Guzansky, these statements were made for psychological effect, and the targeting of Hamas terrorists abroad will not happen immediately.

“One of the reasons that I think Netanyahu and Gallant said it out loud, publicly, is that they want them [Hamas leadership] to feel chased,” explained Guzansky. “They want them to feel fear. It’s psychological warfare. They are letting them know that Israel is coming from them,” he added.

While their people languish in poverty and are treated as human shields, the leaders of Hamas live billionaire lifestyles.

The terror group’s three top leaders alone are worth a staggering total of $11 billion and enjoy a life of luxury in the sanctuary of the emirate of Qatar. 

The emirate has long welcomed the leaders of the terror group and installed them in its luxury hotels and villas at the same time as it hosts a vast American military presence.

Now US Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) is sponsoring a bill that would strip Qatar of its status as a key US ally, The Post has learned, unless it kicks out the Hamas leadership.

The terrorist group, which is responsible for the antisemitic Oct. 7 massacre of more than 1,400 innocent civilians and soldiers in southern Israel, continues to hold over 200 hostages in Gaza.

Hamas runs an office in Qatar’s capital, Doha, and leaders Ismail Haniyeh, Moussa Abu Marzuk and Khaled Mashal maintain a luxurious lifestyle.

They have been seen at its diplomatic club, photographed on private jets, and traveled widely.

The leadership would have been there for the 2022 soccer World Cup.

In contrast, most of the population of more than 2 million in the Gaza Strip, which Hamas has ruled since 2007, livein abject poverty.

Khaled Mashal

Hamas leader Khaled Mashal is a table tennis enthusiast. The billionaire lives a life of luxury in Qatar, and also in Turkey, according to reports.

Mashal is one of the $11 billion squad whose lifestyle has been much different from that of the people Hamas rules.

Haniyeh, 61, the head of Hamas’ politburo, was prime minister of all Palestinian territory following elections in 2006, although he was booted from office a year later.

He continued to rule the Gaza Strip until 2017 before ending up in Qatar.

Haniyeh, a father of 13 who presides over one of the world’s wealthiest terrorist groups, is worth more than $4 billion.

He has been photographed with his two adult sons, Maaz and Abdel Salam, living the high life in luxury hotels in Qatar and Turkey, according to a recent social media post from the Embassy of Israel in the US.

Last week, Haniyeh traveled to Iran to meet with Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Iran is a longtime sponsor of Hamas.

Last month, the Four Seasons hotel in Doha said he was not one of its guests after calls for Bill Gates, who owns a controlling stake in the chain, to kick him out.

It did not address whether he had previously stayed there.

Among its high-end offerings are suites with sea views starting at $900 a night.

The Hamas leader’s son Maaz Haniyeh is known as “the father of real estate” in Gaza for his collection of villas and buildings.

He lives a playboy lifestyle in Turkey, and this year obtained a Turkish passport, according to Israel Today.

Haniyeh Sr. also has Turkish citizenship, according to reports.

Abu Marzuk, 72, a senior Hamas political leader who heads its “international relations office,” is estimated by the Israeli government to be worth $3 billion.

He has a master’s degree in construction management from Colorado State University and was detained in New York when US immigration authorities found his name on a terrorist watch list in 1995.

And Mashal, 67, who issued a global threat against Jews after the Oct. 7 atrocities, is worth more than $4 billion, according to the Israeli government.

The presence of the Hamas leaders in Qatar has long been justified by the emirate as part of its support for turning the terror group into “a responsible governing power,” according to a report from the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies.

The country provides Hamas with between $120 million and $480 million per year, according to the October report by the Washington, DC-based nonprofit that studies foreign policy.

“These funds benefit Hamas leaders directly through payroll and kickback schemes and indirectly through social services and government operations that help Hamas maintain political control over Gaza,” the report said.

Qatar is also home to the Al Jazeera news channel, which the report alleges “spreads antisemitism, anti-Americanism and incitement to violence throughout the Arab world.”

“Qatar is Hamas and Hamas is Qatar,” Yigal Carmon, president of the Washington, DC-based Middle East Media Research Institute, said in an interview with The Post in Israel.

But moves to force action on Hamas are ramping up in DC.

Ogles’ bill would strip Qatar of its special status in the top tier of America’s non-NATO allies alongside Israel, Taiwan, South Korea, Australia and Japan.

Ogles told The Post Tuesday, “As Hamas terrorists continue to wreak havoc on the lives of innocent Israeli civilians, the United States must ensure there is no ally supporting them. Sadly, the State of Qatar is still funding and supporting Hamas as its leadership enjoys political refuge in Doha.”

The country has had the special status since last year, but Ogles’ move would make it conditional on removing Hamas.

Along with hosting Hamas, Qatar is also one of the most important military bases for the US in the Middle East.

It is home to US Central Command’s forward base in the Middle East at the giant Al Udeid air base, which itself is vital to Air Force operations in the Gulf.

Qatar is not the only source of Hamas’ cash. The group also took in nearly $400 million in the last two years from the UN, which does not recognize Hamas as a terrorist organization.

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency provided Hamas with $380 million since 2021, according to the FDD.

Much of that cash came from the Biden administration, which has provided $1 billion to the UNRWA since 2021.

“Since UNRWA has long insisted it has no political screen on its aid, and since Hamas is viewed as a political party, we know with near certainty that our taxpayer dollars have been delivered into the hands of Hamas,” the FDD said, adding that the Trump administration ended US contributions to UNRWA because of the Hamas connection.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken and troops

At Al Udeid air base, the US has one of its most important presences in the Middle East. Visitors have included Secretary of State Antony Blinken, in 2021.

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency provided Hamas with $380 million since 2021, according to the FDD.

Much of that cash came from the Biden administration, which has provided $1 billion to the UNRWA since 2021.

 “Since UNRWA has long insisted it has no political screen on its aid, and since Hamas is viewed as a political party, we know with near certainty that our taxpayer dollars have been delivered into the hands of Hamas,” the FDD said, adding that the Trump administration ended US contributions to UNRWA because of the Hamas connection.

GOOGLE CHIEF EXECUTIVE SUNDAR PICHAI WAS BRIEFED ON A PLAN NOT TO NOTIFY USERS OF A SOFTWARE GLITCH THAT GAVE OUTSIDE DEVELOPERS POTENTIAL ACCESS TO PRIVATE DATA.

 

Dr. Aajonus Vonderplanitz talks about viruses and swine flu.Aajonus Vonderplanitz (April 17, 1947 – August 28, 2013) was an American alternative nutritionist and food-rights activist who focused on raw foods, especially meat and dairy. Especially controversial, he conducted legal battles and implemented legal workarounds for consumer access to raw milk, and developed a diet based largely on raw meat, the Primal Diet.[4][5][6][7] Yet his later years, marked by his allegations of conspiracies and by his infighting within the food-rights community, drew him notoriety even among advocates of alternative healthcare and food rights.
He claimed hospital diagnosis of cancer soon ruled terminal, but experiencing remission via raw carrot juice and raw dairy by age 21. Later, he began informal nutritional counseling. By age 25, he had adopted raw veganism. Yet at age 29, he added raw meat, which he claimed to vastly improve healing. After publication of his first book, We Want to Live, in 1997, he became a leading alternative nutritionist. In September 1986, at age 39, living in a Beverly Hills “slum” while freelancing in nutrition, Vonderplanitz returned to Cincinnati, Ohio.  There, his only child, his son, estranged for about 20 years, had recently been in a severe car wreck, driving, without a seatbelt on, straight into a tree.[29] Vonderplanitz claimed to have sabotaged his son’s conventional medical treatment, in Mercy Hospital‘s intensive-care unit, and used raw foods to awaken and retrieve his comatose son from imminent death, and to reverse his paralysis and brain damage.  Ten years after his son’s recovery, Vonderplanitz recounted the tale in his first book, We Want to Live, first published in 1997 and revised in 2005.
Upon the 1997 release of Vonderplanitz’s first book, Robert Atkins interviewed him, based by then in Malibu, on Atkins’s nationally syndicated radio show. Vonderplanitz had claimed that his own protocol had cured over 200 clients of cancer.[9] In 2000, Vonderplanitz trademarked the name Primal Diet.  Unlike later diets called “primal”,[e] Vonderplanitz’s Primal Diet principally includes raw meat, raw eggs, raw dairy, raw fats, and unheated honey.  In 2002, his other book, the Recipe for Living Without Disease, was published. Nearing 2010, he was still claiming over 90% rate of cancer remission among his clients closely heeding it.  Despite mainstream dismissal, his Primal Diet gained a sizable following.

& Volume Two–Healthfully (the facts)

As indicated in the subtitle, the book is divided into two parts. The first is the mother of all conversion/testimonial stories (125 pages worth). The second starts with a 5-page intro by Ron Strauss and is followed by an encyclopedic listing of foods and preparations (23 pages), then on to 90 pages of “food remedies,” and then 10 pages of “health methodologies.” (The “We Want to Live” web page contains the table of contents in more detail.) Finally, there are 33 pages of appendices (A-X) which are not labeled by topic but serve largely as extended footnotes of material from the “testimonial” section.Volume One’s “the story” is told as first-person narrative. The present-tense story starts with a phone call notifying Aajonus (pronounced like “homogenous” without the “hum”) that his long-estranged son has been in a severe auto accident and because of extensive head injuries is not expected to survive the next 24 hours. After stocking up on Californian raw honey, butter, papayas, etc., Aajonus flies out to stay with his son. By stealthfully replacing his son’s medications with raw-food recipes (initially a mixture of raw honey and butter placed under his tongue while he is in a coma) eventually the brain damage is miraculously repaired to a large degree. Along the way he battles with the hospital administration and policies.
We learn through extensive (and somewhat confusing) flashbacks of his own recovery from cancer and of the recovery of others due to his (mostly) successful nutritional counseling, and even hear about an out-of-body near-death experience (also part of his “conversion”) where the tennis shoes he is wearing melt onto the room’s radiator. We are further privy to his conversion to raw animal foods (he had previously been fruitarian/vegan). After being unsuccessfully coached on the benefits of raw meat by Elk-of-the-Black-Moon (the spirit of Black Elk himself?) at the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation vision quest (this bit is confined to an appendix for no apparent reason), it takes a pack of wild coyotes to convert him: He has decided to fast to death in the desert instead of returning to a diseased civilization (fruitarians love stuff like this, no? ????
 )
 but the coyotes have other plans for him, eventually killing and offering him a rabbit which he eats, and after which, of course, he is reborn.
This is just the tip of the story’s iceberg, though. We learn not only about his troubled past and the “mandatory” health problems, but also about his teenage parenthood and “divorce,” and in general of his path from angry youth to health-seeker to “raw is law.” And he usually has some sort of detox going on: a poison mushroom took him many years to completely cure from, and an Electro Dermal Screening Device (whatever that might be) provided him ill-effects, including a most dramatic detox of bone epoxy used on his skull during previous surgery for an injury. The bonding with his estranged son, and his interaction with the hospital staff, family, and friends (including half a “pick-up” story about a woman in a health-food store which he never gets back to and finishes!) make the narrative surprisingly readable. In a Reader’s Digest “Drama in Real Life” sort of way. ????
As I’ve said, this is the mother of all testimonial/conversion stories ever put to print. Vonderplanitz’s new-age sensibilities lead to a high-pitched “Awww, come on!” reaction from a fellow like me, but it is a whale of a tale, and one suspects mostly true, or at least believed so by the author, who indeed makes an endearing and humble-humble narrator on such a journey. (Highlight: getting the yogis all revved up for the “pleasures of the flesh” by feeding them a diet of avos and citrus. “Awww, come on!” ????
 )
The section surveying foods, remedies, and therapies is much more troubling, and perhaps ironically much more intriguing to me. I am reminded of Dr. Henry G. Bieler’s Food is Your Best Medicine, Herbert Shelton’s Fasting Can Save Your Life, and most every new-age remedy book I’ve ever seen–all rolled into one, and with a RAF (raw-animal-food) slant to boot! Mr. Vonderplanitz does indeed seem to have a cure/recipe for every affliction from cancer to athlete’s foot, but at the same time he is big on following your intuition/craving/instinct–and that what works for one will not for another. His “theoretical explanations” are at once intriguing and head-slapping. Can you figure out which parts of the examples below are which to this reviewer?

The thought of delicious, heavily buttered garlic bread came to mind. I knew it was instinct, my body telling me what is needed to raise my blood pressure. I went back into my apartment and ate a raw clove of garlic with French bread and lots of unsalted butter. Within moments I felt better, satisfied. I decided from that moment on that at least 70% of my diet would consist of raw foods. (p. 48)
Fat resins and residues from cooked or processed green foods first collect in the intestines, becoming impacted. Secondly, they collect as gummy resins in the glands (as in prostatitis, leading to prostate cancer), and thirdly, they collect as gummy resins in the brain (as in Alzheimer’s disease).
XXX
The resins and residues from cooked or processed red fruits and vegetables most often collect in the lymph and skin, causing acne, sickly-looking tongues, hard and brittle bones, and deep lesions in the skin when the weather turns cold….
XXX
People who lack the enzyme-mutations for digesting, assimilating, and utilizing cooked or processed yellow foods most often look pasty around the nose and eyes, and have very slow digestion, especially after eating a cooked or processed yellow or orange food.
XXX
People who lack enzyme-mutations for eating all three food groups–cooked or processed green, red (including orange) and yellow (including orange)–have a predisposition toward HIV positive.” (pp. 136-137)
It is believed that whole raw eggs should not be eaten because albumin in egg white binds with biotin (part of the B-complex) in the body, causing side-effects. Egg yolk contains plenty of biotin to be utilized with albumin in egg white. The albumin/biotin combination is helpful because it helps to dissolve biocarbons and helps muscles retain carbohydrates. Whole raw eggs contain a wonderful, natural balance when eaten in a normal diet (whether the diet is raw or not).
XXX
In my experience with animals including human, who ate only the yolk and not the white (along with other foods on a raw diet), metabolism was considerably increased, usually withOUT increasing energy. The side-effects were that often hunger increased to a frenzy and dispositions tended to be irritable. It has been my experience in every case and condition that eating the whole raw egg was more nourishing, and better for metabolic and emotional balance. (p. 146)

And so on. His theoretical explanations (a la
 Bieler’s, and beyond!) seem like wholesale additions to modern nutritional myth and folklore. The lack of references (or intellectual humility, for that matter) severely limits his explanations, to my mind. Yet, given the paucity of info/experience of folks eating RAF over the long term, I am bound by curiosity to his experiences consuming large amounts of RAF, and his “clients” doing the same.
For anyone with the slightest interest in RAF, We Want To Live is almost must reading, but I would hope that any reader would be skeptical of the claims and explanations (and further hope that you don’t become a “raw butter mixed with raw honey” junkie!, though there are worse addictions in this world to be sure ????
 ).
 A non-instincto take on RAF is always interesting to someone like me who is steeped in instincto lore. Ronald Schmid’s Native Nutrition is far more informative and well-written, but lacks any of the first-person stuff in We Want To Live. But in such a paltry arena as RAF, beggars can’t be choosers as far as the books they might read. And there are many who prefer the testimonial approach much more than I do.
Mr. Vonderplanitz is reportedly a very polished speaker, and with his impressive physique (never works out, of course ????
 )
 and commanding presence is very persuasive in the few public appearances he has given so far. But, if he expects to be taken at all seriously, he will need to document his claims, be much more specific in his methodology (if there exist any specifics to his methodology), and back way off with his naive “theoretical explanations.”
Smooth talk and a likeable presence are probably enough for the uncritical minds of most folks into fringe diets–and Mr. Vonderplanitz is almost assured a small fringe following. But if he hopes to impress the mainstream (or get any attention from serious researchers) with the importance of his approach, he will have to provide documentation along with anecdote. He will have to provide a verifiable methodology as well as a winning smile.

Wall Street Journal

By Douglas MacMillan and Robert McMillanOctober 8, 2018

Google opted not to disclose to users its discovery of a bug that gave outside developers access to private data. It found no evidence of misuse.

Google exposed the private data of hundreds of thousands of users of the Google+ social network and then opted not to disclose the issue this past spring, in part because of fears that doing so would draw regulatory scrutiny and cause reputational damage, according to people briefed on the incident and documents reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.

As part of its response to the incident, the Alphabet Inc. unit on Monday announced a sweeping set of data privacy measures that include permanently shutting down all consumer functionality of Google+. The move effectively puts the final nail in the coffin of a product that was launched in 2011 to challenge Facebook Inc. and is widely seen as one of Google’s biggest failures.

A software glitch in the social site gave outside developers potential access to private Google+ profile data between 2015 and March 2018, when internal investigators discovered and fixed the issue, according to the documents and people briefed on the incident. A memo reviewed by the Journal prepared by Google’s legal and policy staff and shared with senior executives warned that disclosing the incident would likely trigger “immediate regulatory interest” and invite comparisons to Facebook’s leak of user information to data firm Cambridge Analytica.

Chief Executive Sundar Pichai was briefed on the plan not to notify users after an internal committee had reached that decision, the people said.

The closure of Google+ is part of a broader review of privacy practices by Google that has determined the company needs tighter controls on several major products, the people said. In its announcement Monday, the company said it is curtailing the access it gives outside developers to user data on Android smartphones and Gmail.

Google Advertising Revenue Is Under Major Threat In Australia

Earlier this month a court in Australia reversed a lower court’s decision and ruled that the ads Google allows to run on its search engine are “misleading and deceptive”.

After this ruling by the Federal Court, Google was caught completely off-guard (typical Google arrogance of course) and they definitely were not expecting it to go in that direction. It also extremely worries Google and could set a threatening precedent to their business model. Google is concerned that the Australian court’s decision could be copied by other courts in different countries and it will hurt their bottom line. Google’s ad revenue is worth hundreds of millions of dollars in Australia alone.

Google will fight the court’s decision tooth and nail to avoid this from spreading and to make sure their money-making machine is protected. The company has less than 14 days to appeal the decision to a High Court. What Google is most concerned about is protecting their money and not making sure that their users are protected. This isn’t the first time that the company has gotten themselves in deep trouble over their ad business. The US government forced Google to pay up half a billion dollars for aiding and abetting a con artist commit his crimes (I will post an update story on this soon ,which I forgot to post).

The point is that Google has repeatedly shown that they are willing to accept money from every advertiser, every company, and even criminals if they can get away with it. They obviously have very little ethics and I sure wouldn’t trust them. Be careful clicking on those ads.

This Australian legal battle against Google is a very interesting one to watch. ABC News in Australia did a fantastic report on this story. The video is below and if you want to read the transcript, you can go to their website

Forbes: 6 Months Later and Google Plus Still Sucks

According to a writer for Forbes named Paul Tassi, Google’s latest attempt at social networking is still a failure. Mr. Tassi wrote about his dissatisfaction using Google Plus last year and he received some criticism from loyal diehards of the site – although most people would agree with Mr. Tassi’s observation that the site…well, sucks.

The Wall Street Journal a little while ago published an article claiming that the site is a virtual “ghost town” and users only spent like 3 minutes on the site per month. Of course Google denies this and released vague numbers to contradict any negative publicity.

Anyway, Mr. Tassi gave Google Plus some more time and a second chance to prove itself. He published another article today and he says that Google’s social networking site still doesn’t impress him. He wrote:

“…but I thought now was the time to revisit my thoughts on the site, quite a bit down the road. Over half a year has gone by since then. I’ve posted nearly every day to my G+ page, and have engaged others in conversation about many a topic… I still do not believe Google Plus is the social network it needs to be, nor do I believe it will ever pose a significant threat to Facebook in its current form.”

Mr. Tassi says that none of his friends use Google Plus and don’t seem like they ever will. His friends are using several other social media on the Web, including the red-hot Pinterest which I’m hearing a lot about lately. I think I remember reading someplace that Pinterest is credited for giving websites much of their referral traffic – far exceeding Google Plus.

Mr. Tassi believes that Google Plus appeals to a “niche community” of tech geeks and people who are in certain industries that find the site useful in connecting with the general public versus connecting with friends. Google Plus isn’t really a place you go if you want to connect with your close friends. He says that Google Plus is full of strangers who don’t comment much or engage with the site often. So even though he believes Google Plus isn’t necessarily a “ghost town” based on how you look at the numbers, it sure does give off the feeling that it’s empty and cold.

 I have posted an article on my blog calling Google Plus “pretentious” once. I actually think Google sells its social networking site as being a high-brow version of Facebook – as if Facebook is that place common folks exchange frivolous things with one another while Google Plus folks share more meaningful material. It’s typical Google arrogance.

Google’s social networking site does not look like it will get any better any time soon or ever. It’s been around for a long time now and the company has huge expectations for the site. Google desperately wants to see its struggling social networking site grow and become a success, there is a lot weighing on it. Yet even with so much invested in the site, Google cannot seem to win.

Victim Of Brutal Beating Says She Is “Afraid” of Google Executive’s Family.

 

There is disturbing bombshell news that has been exposed the other day and it involves a major employee of Google. Marissa Mayer has been with Google since the very early days of the company, she is often said to be the 20th employee of Google. As one of the very first employees of Google, Marissa knows a lot about Google and she is deeply embedded in this company. Her current job title is Vice President of Local, Maps, and Location services.

Marissa became a very wealthy woman after Google became a public company in 2004. She is often seen as the public face of Google itself. You see her everywhere doing all sorts of different interviews with newspapers and even on television programs like the Martha Stewart Show. She has become somewhat of a celebrity and a spokeswoman for Google. The company uses her bright smile and photogenic looks to give itself an attractive public image.

However, Google might want to keep Marissa out of the spotlight for awhile – perhaps never again. The innocent looking and charming woman Google used as the public face of the company is part of a family that isn’t so attractive.

Now, I have written here before that this blog doesn’t focus on tabloid topics or personal issues, but this particular case involving the Mayer family is different. I don’t like gossipy, irrelevant, and frivolous stuff – but I will focus on criminal activity that has strong connections to Google.

The younger brother of Marissa, Mason Mayer, has been accused of three felonies: assault, false imprisonment and domestic violence. He allegedly brutally beat his girlfriend, Kelli Ann Trent, after a night out back in September 2011. We are learning about this now because The San Francisco Appeal newspaper investigated this case and published their findings yesterday.

Alright – so here’s what happened, according to court documents obtained by the newspaper. An affidavit submitted by San Francisco Police Department Inspector Michael Becker, details exactly what allegedly happened between Mason Mayer and his girlfriend:

On the evening of September 24, Mason and Kelli were getting ready to go to a party. They were at Mason’s condo residence at the time. Prior to the leaving to go to the party, they had an argument over a woman – who Mason allegedly cheated with – attending the party too.

The couple went to the party but there was still tension between them. According to the court document, Mason angrily accused a bartender of hitting on his girlfriend. He also became angry at Kelli Ann Trent for speaking with Marissa Mayer’s husband. Mason apparently “dislikes” his brother-in-law for some reason.

The couple left the party and went back home to Mason’s condo residence. While walking through the building hallway, Mason shoved Kelli. He then took her inside the residence, locked her in his bedroom, and then threw Kelli on the floor of the bedroom.

Mason began spitting in the face of his girlfriend, pulling her hair out, and he slammed her head against the marble bedroom floor. Kelli was in agony and in the fetal position trying to protect herself. Mason repeatedly punched her in the face, while Kelli struggled to get away. He told her that the only way she was going to get out of the beating was by driving her to the Golden Gate Bridge and throwing her off it.

Luckily for Kelli, before things could get any worse, Mason’s cell phone started ringing. It was a friend of the couple who was calling to ask to pick up his personal items from the condo. While on the phone, Kelli screamed for help.

The friend eventually arrived at the condo residence and Mason answered the front door to let him in. Kelli ran out of the bedroom hysterical and crying out for help. Mason grabbed her and wouldn’t let her go. The friend asked Mason to let her go but he refused. The friend said that he would call the police if he didn’t let her go. After Mason finally agreed to let Kelli go, she went back into the bedroom to retrieve her bag.

But Mason followed her back into the bedroom and locked the door shut again. The friend decided to stay the night at the condo to make sure nothing bad happened. The next morning, Kelli got up and she noticed all the injuries to her body.

Kelli eventually went to the police to report what happened to her. The 33-year-old Mason Mayer was arrested by police on November 28, 2011. In January a judge ordered Mason to stay away from Kelli. He has pleaded not guilty – but if found guilty he faces a maximum four years and eight months in state prison. Mason Mayer has a pretrial conference in a Superior Court on April 18th, 2012.

This is all so disturbing and vile. I need a shower after reading the court documents and seeing the injuries on the alleged victim. Mason Mayer is apparently very close to his famous sister and lives off her success. According to The San Francisco Appeal newspaper, Mason lives in the same luxury building as his sister and he was never worked since his sister struck it rich working at Google.

Just keep this in mind: these are the type of people you entrust your personal information with when you use Google. I certainly wouldn’t want people like Mason Mayer and his executive sister anywhere near my personal data. Knowing about the ethics and morals of the people who handle very sensitive data about you is so important.

 If I don’t trust you, I will not do business with you – ever.

Federal Agency Fines Google $25,000 “Deliberately” Impeding Investigation

It was reported yesterday that the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) fined Google $25,000 for not cooperating with an investigation over Google’s massive invasion of privacy involving its Street View service.

The FCC said that Google “deliberately impeded and delayed” its investigation. Google made it very difficult for investigators to gain access to employees and hid important evidence. Google did not answer emails and the company even tried to hide the identities of the employees involved in the privacy violations from two years ago.

In 2010, Google’s Street View cars collected very private information from unencrypted home computers. When Google was caught doing this it apologized and said that it didn’t deliberately try to capture private data. Soon after the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) investigated and sided with Google’s explanation that it was a mistake. Although the US didn’t take the massive privacy violation seriously, European countries were more concerned.

Now the FCC has come out and exposed Google’s refusal to cooperate with the investigation. This is really embarrassing for a company that claims it’s so transparent about everything it does and is cooperative with regulators. This is not the first regulators have complained about Google’s secrecy, arrogance, and unwillingness to cooperate with investigations. The French data protection agency currently investigating Google’s new privacy policy said that Google neglected to contact them before implementing their controversial and intrusive privacy policy.

The $25,000 Google is now forced to pay will do nothing to the company’s bottom line. Google raked in about $40 billion last year. Over 90% of Google’s revenues come from advertising – this means that Google makes money by selling your personal data to advertisers. This is the reason Google consolidated their privacy policies into a singular policy – it makes it easier for the company to figure you out and it’s more profitable. A Google spokesman said that the company is on a mission to combat against “the faceless Web”.

Google paying a $25,000 fine is like an average person paying a one cent fine – but don’t get too hung up on the amount of that fine. The biggest hit Google received from this new report by the FCC is its reputation. Most people think way too highly of this company and if more reports like this come out to expose Google’s dirt then the better it will be for the general public.

I love what Christina DesMarais, PCWorld, wrote in her article:

“…if Google’s uncooperative behavior is true as the FCC maintains, the obvious question is, ‘What is Google hiding?’ Consumers and advocacy groups have often criticized Google’s seemingly insatiable appetite for personal information, such as its recent consolidation of its privacy policies so as to have a better view into user behaviors and preferences. Because of the amount of attention those privacy concerns have garnered, you’d think a policy of transparency on Google’s part would bode well with those who have doubts about whether or not the company can be trusted with increasing amounts of personal data.”

Things that make you go hmmm…

Three years ago, The New York Times published an article titled “Putting a Bolder Face on Google” and it’s a fantastic read. It focuses on Marissa and really let’s you know more about her character. Here are some interesting quotes about her in the article:

“Mayer, who is Google Employee No. 20…A popular guest on TV news programs and talk shows, a Google-booster often quoted in print, and a rapid-fire presence on San Francisco’s social scene, she is the rare executive who has become — at least in the sometimes cloistered world of computer geeks — a celebrity”

“Ms. Mayer, 33, plays a pivotal, serious role at Google…She is one of the few Googlers with unfettered access to and influence over Mr. Brin and Mr. Page”

A 2009 Gawker.com article described her as “the best known Google executive outside the search engine’s CEO, Eric Schmidt, and its billionaire founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin”

Ms. Mayer has even dated the current Google CEO Larry Page at one point. This is a woman very much part of the identity of Google and a recognizable face of the company.

Embarrassing Apples Is Responsible For The Vast Majority of Google’s Mobile Revenue

There are new revelations about the health of Google’s mobile business and it looks like Google is in really bad shape. Thanks to documents submitted in the legal battle between Google and Oracle over patents, the public gets a new look at exactly how well Google’s Android is performing.

Google is secretive about letting the public know about how much revenue Android brings in – but now we know that Android actually doesn’t make much money for Google at all. Google’s overall 2011 revenues totaled about $40 billion and much of that is from ads from search results on desktop computers. Very little of Google’s overall revenues is from mobile.

According to The Guardian, Android generated less than $550 million between 2008 and 2011 – pitiful. Google produces the Android software which it then gives away for free to handset makers to sell. Google makes its money from ad revenue on the mobile devices and from applications on Google Play (formerly known as Android Market), which is doing extremely poorly compared to Apple’s App store.

Here is where it gets particularly interesting – Google actually makes more money from Apple’s mobile devices than it does from its own Android powered smartphones! Now isn’t that hilarious, ha-ha, especially considering the recent bad blood between Google and Apple.

Apple is responsible for generating more than four times as much revenue for Google! This is because at least half of all smartphone owners use an Apple device and Google is the default search engine. Apple also extensively used Google Maps – but as recently told Google to get lost and is now using a mixture of its own acquired mapping technology and free crowdsourced mapping.

Who knew that Apple had such a big role in Google’s mobile business?

Majority of Google’s mobile traffic can be credited to Apple. Google should be grateful to Apple for being so helpful, but Google treats Apple like crap. Google expressed its gratitude to Apple by trying to impose itself into Apple’s territory, which infuriated Apple.

What did Apple do as payback?

Apple no longer extensively uses Google Maps, Apple added other search engines as alternative options to Google’s, and Apple appears to be ditching Google altogether in China (a huge and attractive market). And we all know about how Apple set its Safari Web browser default to automatically block third-party tracking cookies  – however, it was exposed last month that Google illegally circumvented this security feature, but is now facing countless lawsuits from Apple users.

Psst…hey Google…don’t bite that hand that feeds you.

Google Enjoy Too Much Media Cove Rage

I have made the claim that the media doesn’t give Google enough scrutiny and that the company often gets underserved favorable press. This is a major reason I started this blog in the first place, so that the average person out there can see what Google is really all about.

I remember seeing articles recently claiming that Google currently has the best reputation among any company in America. This is very disturbing considering all the sordid details I have been posting about Google’s lack of privacy, their pitiful ethics, their lies, the incessant lawsuits, and even criminal investigations. It’s disappointing and saddening that so many Americans put so much trust in this company – it just leaves me shaking my head and I think to myself “if only they knew better”.

I came across three really great articles comparing Google to Microsoft. I want to share these articles with you, but please don’t view this as me trying to sell Microsoft to you. I’m just using the articles to illustrate media bias and to show you how much Google has changed over the years.

The article published by InfoWorld’s J. Peter Bruzzese is excellent and lays out evidence to argue that the media unfairly bashes Microsoft way too often while Google’s errors are conveniently overlooked. He writes,

“I’ve noticed an unfair, ongoing trend: If Microsoft does something a little off, it gets bashed into the ground for it. But if Google… missteps, it generally gets mild reprimands and even support from the media and those drinking the Kool-Aid.”

Ever since I started this blog earlier this year I have been reading about the comparisons people are making between Microsoft and Google. These comparisons argue that Google has really changed for the worse over the years. As some of you probably already know, Google’s infamous unofficial motto is “don’t be evil”. In the early idealistic days of Google the company didn’t want to be like other established tech giants (i.e. Microsoft) because they perceived them as representing negativity and as being old-fashioned. But now people are starting to notice that little ol’ Google ain’t all that different from Microsoft – actually, some argue, that Google is worse now.

The article published by Forbes gives you 7 similarities between Google and Microsoft – perhaps now the pot should stop calling the kettle black– to read the Forbes article, please click here.

Finally, a very interesting article appeared on The Daily Beast website by Dan Lyons. The author spent 30 days using nothing but Microsoft products to compare it with Google’s products. He wanted to see if Microsoft can win him over and if Google’s products are really worth keeping. To find out what he concluded you gotta read the full article for yourself – click here

Google is currently enjoying much of the general public’s trust– but what is most hopeful is that this is slowly changing. As more people become knowledgeable and fed-up with Google’s antics, their arrogance, their invasion on our privacy, and other wrongdoings we will finally see Google fall off its throne. As any good business person will tell you, the most important thing in business is rightfully earning the trust and admiration of the public – once you lose this you’ve lost everything.

MARISSA MAYER IS NOMINATED TO SERVE ON WALMART’S BOARD

Google’s top woman has been nominated to serve on the board of Walmart. The massive retailer corporation made the announcement today that Marissa Mayer could potentially take the board’s 16th spot.

And yes, it’s that same Marissa Mayer…you know…the same high-profile Google executive whose brother allegedly brutally beat up his girlfriend and threatened to throw her off San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge…

At only 36, Ms. Mayer will be the youngest person on the board if elected at the company’s shareholder’s meeting on June 1st. I was reading through different articles about her nomination to board, many questioned whether she is the right fit for the company’s board. She doesn’t really have much experience outside of Google, if any at all. She was hired at Google straight out of graduate school in 1999 and shuffled around at that Google ever since.

Is she a one-hit wonder? Can her leadership skills at Google translate over to other companies that operate in a completely different way? Walmart seems to think that she can be useful in helping them with their online services. Google benefits from learning about how a retail giant does business.

Anyway, it’s interesting news and I thought it is worth posting. She said this in a statement:

“I have long been a customer and admirer of the company. Walmart is an amazing story of entrepreneurship and, as one of the world’s most powerful brands, touches millions of lives every day. I look forward to contributing to Walmart’s continued growth, success, and innovation in the years to come”

And according to Forbes, she also serves on the boards of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the San Francisco Ballet, the New York City Ballet and the Smithsonian Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum.

Google Executive’s Family Allegedly Made Life Of Abuse Victim A Living Nightmare.

Last month I published an article titled “Victim of Brutal Beating Says She’s ‘Afraid’ of Google Executive’s Family”. It was one of the most read and commented on posts I’ve published on my blog. I received great feedback and the vast majority of readers appreciate knowing about this disturbing story involving a major Google executive’s family. If you haven’t already read that article please do so before reading this one – click here

After I posted my article I received an email from a person who said they wanted to set the record straight about what happened to Mason Mayer’s alleged victim, Kelli Trent. This person told me that they were troubled by false information being spread around and asked for my assistance in having Kelli’s side of the story told.

This person told me lots of information about the Mayer family and the dysfunctional relationship between Mason Mayer and Kelli Trent. This person has politely asked that I not reveal their identity and so I have decided to respect their privacy. I will simply refer to this person as my “source” from this point on.

The information my source revealed to me is disturbing, to say the least. It will give you a greater sense of what happened before the night of the alleged abuse and what took place after that night.

Kelli Trent is an intelligent and hardworking young woman. She moved to San Francisco back in 2005 after completing college and has been consistently employed ever since. Her friends describe her as being very generous and she always tries to help out any way she could. My source wanted to point out that Kelli comes from “a decent amount of wealth herself” and that she often pays for the needs of loved ones without hesitation. She has held some jobs in banking and she even recently tried her hand in a startup company.

Kelli and Mason met back in early February 2011 on his birthday and they started dating immediately after that. Their relationship was very brief but even in that short time it was plagued with serious problems. My source alleges that Mason had been controlling and abusive toward Kelli on numerous occasions.

Mason had not lived in San Francisco for that long. He moved from Minneapolis in the fall of 2010 after his famous sister, Google executive Marissa Mayer, allowed him to live in her penthouse condo. My source alleges that the reason behind Mason’s move is due to him getting in legal trouble in Minneapolis after abusing a “rebound” girlfriend. Marissa apparently wanted to keep him away from “psycho girls” and moved him close to her. Mason and his ex-wife, Kara Mayer, divorced in July 2010.

After he moved to San Francisco and started dating Kelli everything was fine for the first few months. My source alleges that the abuse on Kelli actually began in May after she wanted to leave the relationship. The source showed me a photo of Kelli taken in May with a badly bruised inner arm. The source also alleges that a few days before the night of September 24th Kelli and Mason were at a gym and he didn’t like the way she was interacting with men. He allegedly threw her belongings around and got physically aggressive with her.

Finally the abuse escalated to what took place on night of September 24th. Kelli not only suffered physical injuries but she also sustained a concussion, was disoriented, and had fainting spells. After this incident, she took photographs of her injuries and sent them to Mason’s parents and Marissa was soon notified. My source claims that Kelli was shown little respect by the Mayer family and that they never asked if she was okay. Kelli demanded that Mason get help and the Mayer family came up with Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and therapy sessions – which Mason began two days after the family was notified.

The source claims that Kelli was never offered any financial assistance for her medical needs or for her therapy sessions, which she was badly in need of. Kelli pretty much had to suffer alone and isolated herself in the apartment she shared with a roommate. She didn’t go out much since the beating and only confided in a few close friends.

The source says that soon after, in early October, the Mayer family booked Mason a trip on a European holiday for two weeks, which Kelli took as being insensitive and an insult to her. The source says that the Mayer family neglected to understand the magnitude of the problems between Kelli and Mason. The family also didn’t hold Mason accountable for anything. This is when Kelli was starting to realize that she wanted out of the relationship and was pretty much done protecting the Mayer family.

Sadly, while the Mayer family was off on their European holiday, Kelli’s grandmother passed away. After hearing about her loss, she left to go to Tennessee to be with her family. While with her family, the source claims that Mason phone called Kelli and told her that she was not invited to the Mayer family pumpkin carving party. Marissa allegedly did not want Kelli at the party, which Kelli took as a slap in the face. This was the straw that broke the camel’s back and Kelli finally knew she was done with the relationship with Mason and done with the Mayer family.

Kelli came back to San Francisco on October 30th and Mason was at the airport to pick her up. This is when Kelli broke up with him. The source alleges that Mason was infuriated by this and showed up later in the day to Kelli’s apartment threatening to release nude photos of her and allegedly vowed to smear her reputation. Mason then took the witness of the September 24th beating to the family party.

On November 11th Kelli went to the police to report everything that happened to her. Keep in mind that Kelli and Mason were not together often since the night of September 24th and up until the day she finally reported the alleged abuse to the police. My source says that it took Kelli awhile to come to the realization that she desperately needed to leave the relationship for good. This is consistent with many victims of domestic abuse who feel like they can change their partner’s ways if they just stay in long enough and are often too afraid to leave.

Soon after a warrant was issued while Mason and the rest of the Mayer family were on their annual Thanksgiving holiday in Hawaii.

The source claims that this is when the campaign to discredit Kelli began and her reputation was torn to pieces. Kelli had her life investigated as Mason’s legal team started subpoenaing texts messages, called her former employers, contacted her ex-boyfriends, etc. The source claims that Kelli depends on a good reputation to secure jobs but obtaining employment in her field has become nearly impossible and that her life is in shatters.

The source described to me one incident in January when Kelli was asked to interview at a company event hosted at Founders Den – this is the workplace of Marissa Mayer’s husband, Zack Bogue. Kelli was in the middle of an interview at the event when suddenly Zack allegedly tapped Kelli on the shoulder and loudly told her to get out. Needless to say, Kelli was thoroughly shaken and embarrassed. She promptly left without finishing her interview. My source points out that Kelli had a stay-away order at the time which specified that any third parties related to Mason are not allowed to directly contact Kelli in any way, “so Zack had no right to speak to her that night”.

Kelli has now left San Francisco. This is a woman who depended on her networking capabilities to get jobs but life is harder for her now. The source says that Kelli never wanted to have all this trouble surrounding her – Kelli fell into a brief and tumultuous relationship with Mason which is a mistake she thoroughly regrets.

While Kelli has been suffering for the past 6 months – Mason has gone on holidays and he’s attended several San Francisco society events (thanks to his sister Marissa) such as the opening of a ballet and a Midwinter Gala. The source claims that Mason owns shares in Google, gifted to him by Marissa, and was invited to an exclusive Google company event featuring Lady Gaga back in March 2011. My source finds it revolting that Mason was being “flaunted” around by his family even after they knew what he did to Kelli.

Kelli has not retained a lawyer and is being represented by a District Attorney. The pretrial conference had been postponed three times since January and is now scheduled for April 18th – if found guilty Mason faces a maximum of four years and eight months in state prison.

Disclaimer: Everything in this post should not be taken as fact. They’re allegations described to me by the source and it’s from their point of view of what occurred. There are many sides to everything and this is just one. If there are any issues you have with anything written in this post please email me.

Eric Hague: Dear Google User….

Eric Hague is a humor writer – a funny letter he wrote pretending to be a member of Google’s privacy team was published by The Wall Street Journal today.

Google seems to think it knows what is best for us, knows everything about us, and is smarter than us – the amusing piece by Mr. Hague has a little fun with all that.

Apple Makes Business More Difficult For Google in China

It is being reported that Apple will be ditching Google in China and replacing it with Baidu as the default search engine. Baidu is the dominant search engine provider in China with a market share estimated at 78%, while Google doesn’t even come close to that number.

Apple’s new operating system will integrate various popular Chinese Internet services – this will make it more attractive for consumers. This will further weaken Google in China, which is a huge loss for the company because the Chinese market is a very attractive one. Apple is making it even more difficult for Google to get its foot in the door. Apple also plans to ditch Google as the default search engine on mobile devices in China.

Recently, it was also reported that Apple ditched Google Maps and is now using a free crowdsourcing mapping service for its mobile devices. It looks like the battle between Apple and Google is getting even more intense and Google is losing.

Google Plus Ad Campaign Is Boring and Fails To Promote Strugging Website

Google really doesn’t “get” social. It seems to me that they lack the ability to understand how people want to connect and how they interact. Google executives like Marissa Mayer have admitted that Google has fallen behind in the social aspect of the Web and they are desperately trying to play catch-up.

Well, today Google UK uploaded a video on YouTube advertising the company’s social networking site called Google Plus. The campaign to get more people to use Google Plus doesn’t impress me much. Their video is titled “Google+: Tom” and it shows a man going through life on Google Plus. We see the man add his wife to his circles, it then shows the couple’s newborn child, and other significant moments in life. The video ends with a future look at the aged man as he reminisces about his youth with his friends in a video chat.

Sorry, but the video is so dumb.

I find it so pretentious, over-the-top, and confusing. I don’t like how the video doesn’t show the consistent and linear progression of the man’s life. In my first passive viewing of the video I got confused about whose life was being shared – the dad or the child? When it switches from the little boy in the green school uniform to the prom scene, I thought it was the little boy grown up ha-ha…but it was actually the dad.

I had to take a closer second viewing of the video to catch the stuff I missed.

Afterwards the narrator goes on about being a solider, being in a cannon, being a Justice, and a wise soul ha-ha. It finally ends with a corny aged look of the man with his friends, and he then adds his grandchild to his circles.

I know what this video is trying to be, but I don’t think it successfully accomplished it. It doesn’t pull on the heartstrings, it doesn’t excite me, and it doesn’t make me want to use Google Plus. I don’t think the video is mainstream enough and, quite frankly, it’s boring.

Also, I really don’t want Google keeping decades of personal data of my life  “well saved” on Google Plus. No thanks!

FACEBOOK OVERTAKES GOOGLE IN BRAZIL AS THE MOST VISITED WEBSITE

Facebook has hit another important milestone in South America. Things are looking very promising in Brazil where the social networking giant is improving rapidly. Just this past January it was reported that Facebook is now the dominant social networking site in Brazil, beating Google’s now struggling Orkut.

And now – Experian Hitwise, a digital intelligence tool, is reporting that Facebook has surpassed all of Google’s properties to become the most visited site in Brazil. Over the past year, Facebook’s popularity has skyrocketed while Google is experiencing a gradual decline.

Facebook dominated Google as the most visited site at least five different times this year, mostly on weekends when visits to social networking sites tend to increase. Nevertheless, this is a great sign for Facebook and a disaster for Google. Perhaps Facebook might eventually overtake Google in other countries too…

Huge Fine Against Google For Violating Privacy Is Imminent

The other day the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) released a strongly worded report condemning Google’s privacy violations and the company’s deliberate obstruction of an investigation into the gathering of sensitive data off personal computers. 

The FCC was deeply disturbed by what Google did but they’re hands were pretty much tied and couldn’t take serious action against Google. The federal agency fined Google $25,000 for impeding their investigation and they said what Google did was technically not illegal. According to PCWorld, this is because the laws are not up-to-date with technology. What Google did was obviously an invasion of privacy and SHOULD be illegal but Google seems to have gotten away scot-free because there aren’t laws that protect Americans from criminals who steal their personal data off unencrypted Wi-Fi networks.

Anyway, I came across an article yesterday by the Mercury News stating that Google is about to be hit hard by another federal agency, this time it’s the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). As you all should already know, the FTC has been in the middle of conducting their investigation on Google’s illegal circumvention of Apple’s Safari Web browser.

The Wall Street Journal exposed Google back in February for deliberately bypassing the privacy and security settings of Safari users. Apple set the default setting on its Safari browser to maximum security to protect their users from tracking companies – Google hated this and used a secret code to bypass this security setting. This exposed millions of Safari users to tracking for months without them every knowing about it. Immediately after the Journal released their story several lawsuits against Google popped up.

Now, according to the Mercury News, the major fine against Google is imminent. The newspaper spoke to a source who says that the FTC will take action against Google within a month. The FTC already has a consent order against Google which was put in place late last year. Google violated the privacy of their users when they launched their failed social networking tool called “Buzz”. After an investigation, Google agreed to a settlement that would require the company to regularly submit a compliance report to the FTC and they agreed to two decades of close monitoring from the FTC.  Google also promised never to violate the privacy of their users or any company’s users – evidently they couldn’t keep their promise.

Google faces a fine of $16,000 per violation per day. There were millions of Apple users affected and victimized by this invasion of privacy so you can imagine that the fine could be colossal. Let’s hope the FTC puts Google in its place and hits them hard – Google definitely deserves it.

GOOGLE CHIEF EXECUTIVE SUNDAR PICHAI WAS BRIEFED ON A PLAN NOT TO NOTIFY USERS OF A SOFTWARE GLITCH THAT GAVE OUTSIDE DEVELOPERS POTENTIAL ACCESS TO PRIVATE DATA.

 

Dr. Aajonus Vonderplanitz talks about viruses and swine flu.Aajonus Vonderplanitz (April 17, 1947 – August 28, 2013) was an American alternative nutritionist and food-rights activist who focused on raw foods, especially meat and dairy. Especially controversial, he conducted legal battles and implemented legal workarounds for consumer access to raw milk, and developed a diet based largely on raw meat, the Primal Diet.[4][5][6][7] Yet his later years, marked by his allegations of conspiracies and by his infighting within the food-rights community, drew him notoriety even among advocates of alternative healthcare and food rights.
He claimed hospital diagnosis of cancer soon ruled terminal, but experiencing remission via raw carrot juice and raw dairy by age 21. Later, he began informal nutritional counseling. By age 25, he had adopted raw veganism. Yet at age 29, he added raw meat, which he claimed to vastly improve healing. After publication of his first book, We Want to Live, in 1997, he became a leading alternative nutritionist. In September 1986, at age 39, living in a Beverly Hills “slum” while freelancing in nutrition, Vonderplanitz returned to Cincinnati, Ohio.  There, his only child, his son, estranged for about 20 years, had recently been in a severe car wreck, driving, without a seatbelt on, straight into a tree.[29] Vonderplanitz claimed to have sabotaged his son’s conventional medical treatment, in Mercy Hospital‘s intensive-care unit, and used raw foods to awaken and retrieve his comatose son from imminent death, and to reverse his paralysis and brain damage.  Ten years after his son’s recovery, Vonderplanitz recounted the tale in his first book, We Want to Live, first published in 1997 and revised in 2005.
Upon the 1997 release of Vonderplanitz’s first book, Robert Atkins interviewed him, based by then in Malibu, on Atkins’s nationally syndicated radio show. Vonderplanitz had claimed that his own protocol had cured over 200 clients of cancer.[9] In 2000, Vonderplanitz trademarked the name Primal Diet.  Unlike later diets called “primal”,[e] Vonderplanitz’s Primal Diet principally includes raw meat, raw eggs, raw dairy, raw fats, and unheated honey.  In 2002, his other book, the Recipe for Living Without Disease, was published. Nearing 2010, he was still claiming over 90% rate of cancer remission among his clients closely heeding it.  Despite mainstream dismissal, his Primal Diet gained a sizable following.

As indicated in the subtitle, the book is divided into two parts. The first is the mother of all conversion/testimonial stories (125 pages worth). The second starts with a 5-page intro by Ron Strauss and is followed by an encyclopedic listing of foods and preparations (23 pages), then on to 90 pages of “food remedies,” and then 10 pages of “health methodologies.” (The “We Want to Live” web page contains the table of contents in more detail.) Finally, there are 33 pages of appendices (A-X) which are not labeled by topic but serve largely as extended footnotes of material from the “testimonial” section.Volume One’s “the story” is told as first-person narrative. The present-tense story starts with a phone call notifying Aajonus (pronounced like “homogenous” without the “hum”) that his long-estranged son has been in a severe auto accident and because of extensive head injuries is not expected to survive the next 24 hours. After stocking up on Californian raw honey, butter, papayas, etc., Aajonus flies out to stay with his son. By stealthfully replacing his son’s medications with raw-food recipes (initially a mixture of raw honey and butter placed under his tongue while he is in a coma) eventually the brain damage is miraculously repaired to a large degree. Along the way he battles with the hospital administration and policies.
We learn through extensive (and somewhat confusing) flashbacks of his own recovery from cancer and of the recovery of others due to his (mostly) successful nutritional counseling, and even hear about an out-of-body near-death experience (also part of his “conversion”) where the tennis shoes he is wearing melt onto the room’s radiator. We are further privy to his conversion to raw animal foods (he had previously been fruitarian/vegan). After being unsuccessfully coached on the benefits of raw meat by Elk-of-the-Black-Moon (the spirit of Black Elk himself?) at the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation vision quest (this bit is confined to an appendix for no apparent reason), it takes a pack of wild coyotes to convert him: He has decided to fast to death in the desert instead of returning to a diseased civilization (fruitarians love stuff like this, no? ????
 )
 but the coyotes have other plans for him, eventually killing and offering him a rabbit which he eats, and after which, of course, he is reborn.
This is just the tip of the story’s iceberg, though. We learn not only about his troubled past and the “mandatory” health problems, but also about his teenage parenthood and “divorce,” and in general of his path from angry youth to health-seeker to “raw is law.” And he usually has some sort of detox going on: a poison mushroom took him many years to completely cure from, and an Electro Dermal Screening Device (whatever that might be) provided him ill-effects, including a most dramatic detox of bone epoxy used on his skull during previous surgery for an injury. The bonding with his estranged son, and his interaction with the hospital staff, family, and friends (including half a “pick-up” story about a woman in a health-food store which he never gets back to and finishes!) make the narrative surprisingly readable. In a Reader’s Digest “Drama in Real Life” sort of way. ????
As I’ve said, this is the mother of all testimonial/conversion stories ever put to print. Vonderplanitz’s new-age sensibilities lead to a high-pitched “Awww, come on!” reaction from a fellow like me, but it is a whale of a tale, and one suspects mostly true, or at least believed so by the author, who indeed makes an endearing and humble-humble narrator on such a journey. (Highlight: getting the yogis all revved up for the “pleasures of the flesh” by feeding them a diet of avos and citrus. “Awww, come on!” ????
 )
The section surveying foods, remedies, and therapies is much more troubling, and perhaps ironically much more intriguing to me. I am reminded of Dr. Henry G. Bieler’s Food is Your Best Medicine, Herbert Shelton’s Fasting Can Save Your Life, and most every new-age remedy book I’ve ever seen–all rolled into one, and with a RAF (raw-animal-food) slant to boot! Mr. Vonderplanitz does indeed seem to have a cure/recipe for every affliction from cancer to athlete’s foot, but at the same time he is big on following your intuition/craving/instinct–and that what works for one will not for another. His “theoretical explanations” are at once intriguing and head-slapping. Can you figure out which parts of the examples below are which to this reviewer?

The thought of delicious, heavily buttered garlic bread came to mind. I knew it was instinct, my body telling me what is needed to raise my blood pressure. I went back into my apartment and ate a raw clove of garlic with French bread and lots of unsalted butter. Within moments I felt better, satisfied. I decided from that moment on that at least 70% of my diet would consist of raw foods. (p. 48)
Fat resins and residues from cooked or processed green foods first collect in the intestines, becoming impacted. Secondly, they collect as gummy resins in the glands (as in prostatitis, leading to prostate cancer), and thirdly, they collect as gummy resins in the brain (as in Alzheimer’s disease).
XXX
The resins and residues from cooked or processed red fruits and vegetables most often collect in the lymph and skin, causing acne, sickly-looking tongues, hard and brittle bones, and deep lesions in the skin when the weather turns cold….
XXX
People who lack the enzyme-mutations for digesting, assimilating, and utilizing cooked or processed yellow foods most often look pasty around the nose and eyes, and have very slow digestion, especially after eating a cooked or processed yellow or orange food.
XXX
People who lack enzyme-mutations for eating all three food groups–cooked or processed green, red (including orange) and yellow (including orange)–have a predisposition toward HIV positive.” (pp. 136-137)
It is believed that whole raw eggs should not be eaten because albumin in egg white binds with biotin (part of the B-complex) in the body, causing side-effects. Egg yolk contains plenty of biotin to be utilized with albumin in egg white. The albumin/biotin combination is helpful because it helps to dissolve biocarbons and helps muscles retain carbohydrates. Whole raw eggs contain a wonderful, natural balance when eaten in a normal diet (whether the diet is raw or not).
XXX
In my experience with animals including human, who ate only the yolk and not the white (along with other foods on a raw diet), metabolism was considerably increased, usually withOUT increasing energy. The side-effects were that often hunger increased to a frenzy and dispositions tended to be irritable. It has been my experience in every case and condition that eating the whole raw egg was more nourishing, and better for metabolic and emotional balance. (p. 146)

And so on. His theoretical explanations (a la
 Bieler’s, and beyond!) seem like wholesale additions to modern nutritional myth and folklore. The lack of references (or intellectual humility, for that matter) severely limits his explanations, to my mind. Yet, given the paucity of info/experience of folks eating RAF over the long term, I am bound by curiosity to his experiences consuming large amounts of RAF, and his “clients” doing the same.
For anyone with the slightest interest in RAF, We Want To Live is almost must reading, but I would hope that any reader would be skeptical of the claims and explanations (and further hope that you don’t become a “raw butter mixed with raw honey” junkie!, though there are worse addictions in this world to be sure ????
 ).
 A non-instincto take on RAF is always interesting to someone like me who is steeped in instincto lore. Ronald Schmid’s Native Nutrition is far more informative and well-written, but lacks any of the first-person stuff in We Want To Live. But in such a paltry arena as RAF, beggars can’t be choosers as far as the books they might read. And there are many who prefer the testimonial approach much more than I do.
Mr. Vonderplanitz is reportedly a very polished speaker, and with his impressive physique (never works out, of course ????
 )
 and commanding presence is very persuasive in the few public appearances he has given so far. But, if he expects to be taken at all seriously, he will need to document his claims, be much more specific in his methodology (if there exist any specifics to his methodology), and back way off with his naive “theoretical explanations.”
Smooth talk and a likeable presence are probably enough for the uncritical minds of most folks into fringe diets–and Mr. Vonderplanitz is almost assured a small fringe following. But if he hopes to impress the mainstream (or get any attention from serious researchers) with the importance of his approach, he will have to provide documentation along with anecdote. He will have to provide a verifiable methodology as well as a winning smile.

Wall Street Journal

By Douglas MacMillan and Robert McMillanOctober 8, 2018

Google opted not to disclose to users its discovery of a bug that gave outside developers access to private data. It found no evidence of misuse.

Google exposed the private data of hundreds of thousands of users of the Google+ social network and then opted not to disclose the issue this past spring, in part because of fears that doing so would draw regulatory scrutiny and cause reputational damage, according to people briefed on the incident and documents reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.

As part of its response to the incident, the Alphabet Inc. unit on Monday announced a sweeping set of data privacy measures that include permanently shutting down all consumer functionality of Google+. The move effectively puts the final nail in the coffin of a product that was launched in 2011 to challenge Facebook Inc. and is widely seen as one of Google’s biggest failures.

A software glitch in the social site gave outside developers potential access to private Google+ profile data between 2015 and March 2018, when internal investigators discovered and fixed the issue, according to the documents and people briefed on the incident. A memo reviewed by the Journal prepared by Google’s legal and policy staff and shared with senior executives warned that disclosing the incident would likely trigger “immediate regulatory interest” and invite comparisons to Facebook’s leak of user information to data firm Cambridge Analytica.

Chief Executive Sundar Pichai was briefed on the plan not to notify users after an internal committee had reached that decision, the people said.

The closure of Google+ is part of a broader review of privacy practices by Google that has determined the company needs tighter controls on several major products, the people said. In its announcement Monday, the company said it is curtailing the access it gives outside developers to user data on Android smartphones and Gmail.

Google Advertising Revenue Is Under Major Threat In Australia

Earlier this month a court in Australia reversed a lower court’s decision and ruled that the ads Google allows to run on its search engine are “misleading and deceptive”.

After this ruling by the Federal Court, Google was caught completely off-guard (typical Google arrogance of course) and they definitely were not expecting it to go in that direction. It also extremely worries Google and could set a threatening precedent to their business model. Google is concerned that the Australian court’s decision could be copied by other courts in different countries and it will hurt their bottom line. Google’s ad revenue is worth hundreds of millions of dollars in Australia alone.

Google will fight the court’s decision tooth and nail to avoid this from spreading and to make sure their money-making machine is protected. The company has less than 14 days to appeal the decision to a High Court. What Google is most concerned about is protecting their money and not making sure that their users are protected. This isn’t the first time that the company has gotten themselves in deep trouble over their ad business. The US government forced Google to pay up half a billion dollars for aiding and abetting a con artist commit his crimes (I will post an update story on this soon ,which I forgot to post).

The point is that Google has repeatedly shown that they are willing to accept money from every advertiser, every company, and even criminals if they can get away with it. They obviously have very little ethics and I sure wouldn’t trust them. Be careful clicking on those ads.

This Australian legal battle against Google is a very interesting one to watch. ABC News in Australia did a fantastic report on this story. The video is below and if you want to read the transcript, you can go to their website

Forbes: 6 Months Later and Google Plus Still Sucks

According to a writer for Forbes named Paul Tassi, Google’s latest attempt at social networking is still a failure. Mr. Tassi wrote about his dissatisfaction using Google Plus last year and he received some criticism from loyal diehards of the site – although most people would agree with Mr. Tassi’s observation that the site…well, sucks.

The Wall Street Journal a little while ago published an article claiming that the site is a virtual “ghost town” and users only spent like 3 minutes on the site per month. Of course Google denies this and released vague numbers to contradict any negative publicity.

Anyway, Mr. Tassi gave Google Plus some more time and a second chance to prove itself. He published another article today and he says that Google’s social networking site still doesn’t impress him. He wrote:

“…but I thought now was the time to revisit my thoughts on the site, quite a bit down the road. Over half a year has gone by since then. I’ve posted nearly every day to my G+ page, and have engaged others in conversation about many a topic… I still do not believe Google Plus is the social network it needs to be, nor do I believe it will ever pose a significant threat to Facebook in its current form.”

Mr. Tassi says that none of his friends use Google Plus and don’t seem like they ever will. His friends are using several other social media on the Web, including the red-hot Pinterest which I’m hearing a lot about lately. I think I remember reading someplace that Pinterest is credited for giving websites much of their referral traffic – far exceeding Google Plus.

Mr. Tassi believes that Google Plus appeals to a “niche community” of tech geeks and people who are in certain industries that find the site useful in connecting with the general public versus connecting with friends. Google Plus isn’t really a place you go if you want to connect with your close friends. He says that Google Plus is full of strangers who don’t comment much or engage with the site often. So even though he believes Google Plus isn’t necessarily a “ghost town” based on how you look at the numbers, it sure does give off the feeling that it’s empty and cold.

 I have posted an article on my blog calling Google Plus “pretentious” once. I actually think Google sells its social networking site as being a high-brow version of Facebook – as if Facebook is that place common folks exchange frivolous things with one another while Google Plus folks share more meaningful material. It’s typical Google arrogance.

Google’s social networking site does not look like it will get any better any time soon or ever. It’s been around for a long time now and the company has huge expectations for the site. Google desperately wants to see its struggling social networking site grow and become a success, there is a lot weighing on it. Yet even with so much invested in the site, Google cannot seem to win.

Victim Of Brutal Beating Says She Is “Afraid” of Google Executive’s Family.

 

There is disturbing bombshell news that has been exposed the other day and it involves a major employee of Google. Marissa Mayer has been with Google since the very early days of the company, she is often said to be the 20th employee of Google. As one of the very first employees of Google, Marissa knows a lot about Google and she is deeply embedded in this company. Her current job title is Vice President of Local, Maps, and Location services.

Marissa became a very wealthy woman after Google became a public company in 2004. She is often seen as the public face of Google itself. You see her everywhere doing all sorts of different interviews with newspapers and even on television programs like the Martha Stewart Show. She has become somewhat of a celebrity and a spokeswoman for Google. The company uses her bright smile and photogenic looks to give itself an attractive public image.

However, Google might want to keep Marissa out of the spotlight for awhile – perhaps never again. The innocent looking and charming woman Google used as the public face of the company is part of a family that isn’t so attractive.

Now, I have written here before that this blog doesn’t focus on tabloid topics or personal issues, but this particular case involving the Mayer family is different. I don’t like gossipy, irrelevant, and frivolous stuff – but I will focus on criminal activity that has strong connections to Google.

The younger brother of Marissa, Mason Mayer, has been accused of three felonies: assault, false imprisonment and domestic violence. He allegedly brutally beat his girlfriend, Kelli Ann Trent, after a night out back in September 2011. We are learning about this now because The San Francisco Appeal newspaper investigated this case and published their findings yesterday.

Alright – so here’s what happened, according to court documents obtained by the newspaper. An affidavit submitted by San Francisco Police Department Inspector Michael Becker, details exactly what allegedly happened between Mason Mayer and his girlfriend:

On the evening of September 24, Mason and Kelli were getting ready to go to a party. They were at Mason’s condo residence at the time. Prior to the leaving to go to the party, they had an argument over a woman – who Mason allegedly cheated with – attending the party too.

The couple went to the party but there was still tension between them. According to the court document, Mason angrily accused a bartender of hitting on his girlfriend. He also became angry at Kelli Ann Trent for speaking with Marissa Mayer’s husband. Mason apparently “dislikes” his brother-in-law for some reason.

The couple left the party and went back home to Mason’s condo residence. While walking through the building hallway, Mason shoved Kelli. He then took her inside the residence, locked her in his bedroom, and then threw Kelli on the floor of the bedroom.

Mason began spitting in the face of his girlfriend, pulling her hair out, and he slammed her head against the marble bedroom floor. Kelli was in agony and in the fetal position trying to protect herself. Mason repeatedly punched her in the face, while Kelli struggled to get away. He told her that the only way she was going to get out of the beating was by driving her to the Golden Gate Bridge and throwing her off it.

Luckily for Kelli, before things could get any worse, Mason’s cell phone started ringing. It was a friend of the couple who was calling to ask to pick up his personal items from the condo. While on the phone, Kelli screamed for help.

The friend eventually arrived at the condo residence and Mason answered the front door to let him in. Kelli ran out of the bedroom hysterical and crying out for help. Mason grabbed her and wouldn’t let her go. The friend asked Mason to let her go but he refused. The friend said that he would call the police if he didn’t let her go. After Mason finally agreed to let Kelli go, she went back into the bedroom to retrieve her bag.

But Mason followed her back into the bedroom and locked the door shut again. The friend decided to stay the night at the condo to make sure nothing bad happened. The next morning, Kelli got up and she noticed all the injuries to her body.

Kelli eventually went to the police to report what happened to her. The 33-year-old Mason Mayer was arrested by police on November 28, 2011. In January a judge ordered Mason to stay away from Kelli. He has pleaded not guilty – but if found guilty he faces a maximum four years and eight months in state prison. Mason Mayer has a pretrial conference in a Superior Court on April 18th, 2012.

This is all so disturbing and vile. I need a shower after reading the court documents and seeing the injuries on the alleged victim. Mason Mayer is apparently very close to his famous sister and lives off her success. According to The San Francisco Appeal newspaper, Mason lives in the same luxury building as his sister and he was never worked since his sister struck it rich working at Google.

Just keep this in mind: these are the type of people you entrust your personal information with when you use Google. I certainly wouldn’t want people like Mason Mayer and his executive sister anywhere near my personal data. Knowing about the ethics and morals of the people who handle very sensitive data about you is so important.

 If I don’t trust you, I will not do business with you – ever.

Federal Agency Fines Google $25,000 “Deliberately” Impeding Investigation

It was reported yesterday that the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) fined Google $25,000 for not cooperating with an investigation over Google’s massive invasion of privacy involving its Street View service.

The FCC said that Google “deliberately impeded and delayed” its investigation. Google made it very difficult for investigators to gain access to employees and hid important evidence. Google did not answer emails and the company even tried to hide the identities of the employees involved in the privacy violations from two years ago.

In 2010, Google’s Street View cars collected very private information from unencrypted home computers. When Google was caught doing this it apologized and said that it didn’t deliberately try to capture private data. Soon after the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) investigated and sided with Google’s explanation that it was a mistake. Although the US didn’t take the massive privacy violation seriously, European countries were more concerned.

Now the FCC has come out and exposed Google’s refusal to cooperate with the investigation. This is really embarrassing for a company that claims it’s so transparent about everything it does and is cooperative with regulators. This is not the first regulators have complained about Google’s secrecy, arrogance, and unwillingness to cooperate with investigations. The French data protection agency currently investigating Google’s new privacy policy said that Google neglected to contact them before implementing their controversial and intrusive privacy policy.

The $25,000 Google is now forced to pay will do nothing to the company’s bottom line. Google raked in about $40 billion last year. Over 90% of Google’s revenues come from advertising – this means that Google makes money by selling your personal data to advertisers. This is the reason Google consolidated their privacy policies into a singular policy – it makes it easier for the company to figure you out and it’s more profitable. A Google spokesman said that the company is on a mission to combat against “the faceless Web”.

Google paying a $25,000 fine is like an average person paying a one cent fine – but don’t get too hung up on the amount of that fine. The biggest hit Google received from this new report by the FCC is its reputation. Most people think way too highly of this company and if more reports like this come out to expose Google’s dirt then the better it will be for the general public.

I love what Christina DesMarais, PCWorld, wrote in her article:

“…if Google’s uncooperative behavior is true as the FCC maintains, the obvious question is, ‘What is Google hiding?’ Consumers and advocacy groups have often criticized Google’s seemingly insatiable appetite for personal information, such as its recent consolidation of its privacy policies so as to have a better view into user behaviors and preferences. Because of the amount of attention those privacy concerns have garnered, you’d think a policy of transparency on Google’s part would bode well with those who have doubts about whether or not the company can be trusted with increasing amounts of personal data.”

Things that make you go hmmm…

Three years ago, The New York Times published an article titled “Putting a Bolder Face on Google” and it’s a fantastic read. It focuses on Marissa and really let’s you know more about her character. Here are some interesting quotes about her in the article:

“Mayer, who is Google Employee No. 20…A popular guest on TV news programs and talk shows, a Google-booster often quoted in print, and a rapid-fire presence on San Francisco’s social scene, she is the rare executive who has become — at least in the sometimes cloistered world of computer geeks — a celebrity”

“Ms. Mayer, 33, plays a pivotal, serious role at Google…She is one of the few Googlers with unfettered access to and influence over Mr. Brin and Mr. Page”

A 2009 Gawker.com article described her as “the best known Google executive outside the search engine’s CEO, Eric Schmidt, and its billionaire founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin”

Ms. Mayer has even dated the current Google CEO Larry Page at one point. This is a woman very much part of the identity of Google and a recognizable face of the company.

I’m leaving you a video of her on the Martha Stewart show

Embarrassing Apples Is Responsible For The Vast Majority of Google’s Mobile Revenue

There are new revelations about the health of Google’s mobile business and it looks like Google is in really bad shape. Thanks to documents submitted in the legal battle between Google and Oracle over patents, the public gets a new look at exactly how well Google’s Android is performing.

Google is secretive about letting the public know about how much revenue Android brings in – but now we know that Android actually doesn’t make much money for Google at all. Google’s overall 2011 revenues totaled about $40 billion and much of that is from ads from search results on desktop computers. Very little of Google’s overall revenues is from mobile.

According to The Guardian, Android generated less than $550 million between 2008 and 2011 – pitiful. Google produces the Android software which it then gives away for free to handset makers to sell. Google makes its money from ad revenue on the mobile devices and from applications on Google Play (formerly known as Android Market), which is doing extremely poorly compared to Apple’s App store.

Here is where it gets particularly interesting – Google actually makes more money from Apple’s mobile devices than it does from its own Android powered smartphones! Now isn’t that hilarious, ha-ha, especially considering the recent bad blood between Google and Apple.

Apple is responsible for generating more than four times as much revenue for Google! This is because at least half of all smartphone owners use an Apple device and Google is the default search engine. Apple also extensively used Google Maps – but as recently told Google to get lost and is now using a mixture of its own acquired mapping technology and free crowdsourced mapping.

Who knew that Apple had such a big role in Google’s mobile business?

Majority of Google’s mobile traffic can be credited to Apple. Google should be grateful to Apple for being so helpful, but Google treats Apple like crap. Google expressed its gratitude to Apple by trying to impose itself into Apple’s territory, which infuriated Apple.

What did Apple do as payback?

Apple no longer extensively uses Google Maps, Apple added other search engines as alternative options to Google’s, and Apple appears to be ditching Google altogether in China (a huge and attractive market). And we all know about how Apple set its Safari Web browser default to automatically block third-party tracking cookies  – however, it was exposed last month that Google illegally circumvented this security feature, but is now facing countless lawsuits from Apple users.

Psst…hey Google…don’t bite that hand that feeds you.

Google Enjoy Too Much Media Cove Rage

I have made the claim that the media doesn’t give Google enough scrutiny and that the company often gets underserved favorable press. This is a major reason I started this blog in the first place, so that the average person out there can see what Google is really all about.

I remember seeing articles recently claiming that Google currently has the best reputation among any company in America. This is very disturbing considering all the sordid details I have been posting about Google’s lack of privacy, their pitiful ethics, their lies, the incessant lawsuits, and even criminal investigations. It’s disappointing and saddening that so many Americans put so much trust in this company – it just leaves me shaking my head and I think to myself “if only they knew better”.

I came across three really great articles comparing Google to Microsoft. I want to share these articles with you, but please don’t view this as me trying to sell Microsoft to you. I’m just using the articles to illustrate media bias and to show you how much Google has changed over the years.

The article published by InfoWorld’s J. Peter Bruzzese is excellent and lays out evidence to argue that the media unfairly bashes Microsoft way too often while Google’s errors are conveniently overlooked. He writes,

“I’ve noticed an unfair, ongoing trend: If Microsoft does something a little off, it gets bashed into the ground for it. But if Google… missteps, it generally gets mild reprimands and even support from the media and those drinking the Kool-Aid.”

Ever since I started this blog earlier this year I have been reading about the comparisons people are making between Microsoft and Google. These comparisons argue that Google has really changed for the worse over the years. As some of you probably already know, Google’s infamous unofficial motto is “don’t be evil”. In the early idealistic days of Google the company didn’t want to be like other established tech giants (i.e. Microsoft) because they perceived them as representing negativity and as being old-fashioned. But now people are starting to notice that little ol’ Google ain’t all that different from Microsoft – actually, some argue, that Google is worse now.

The article published by Forbes gives you 7 similarities between Google and Microsoft – perhaps now the pot should stop calling the kettle black– to read the Forbes article, please click here.

Finally, a very interesting article appeared on The Daily Beast website by Dan Lyons. The author spent 30 days using nothing but Microsoft products to compare it with Google’s products. He wanted to see if Microsoft can win him over and if Google’s products are really worth keeping. To find out what he concluded you gotta read the full article for yourself – click here

Google is currently enjoying much of the general public’s trust– but what is most hopeful is that this is slowly changing. As more people become knowledgeable and fed-up with Google’s antics, their arrogance, their invasion on our privacy, and other wrongdoings we will finally see Google fall off its throne. As any good business person will tell you, the most important thing in business is rightfully earning the trust and admiration of the public – once you lose this you’ve lost everything.

MARISSA MAYER IS NOMINATED TO SERVE ON WALMART’S BOARD

Google’s top woman has been nominated to serve on the board of Walmart. The massive retailer corporation made the announcement today that Marissa Mayer could potentially take the board’s 16th spot.

And yes, it’s that same Marissa Mayer…you know…the same high-profile Google executive whose brother allegedly brutally beat up his girlfriend and threatened to throw her off San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge…

At only 36, Ms. Mayer will be the youngest person on the board if elected at the company’s shareholder’s meeting on June 1st. I was reading through different articles about her nomination to board, many questioned whether she is the right fit for the company’s board. She doesn’t really have much experience outside of Google, if any at all. She was hired at Google straight out of graduate school in 1999 and shuffled around at that Google ever since.

Is she a one-hit wonder? Can her leadership skills at Google translate over to other companies that operate in a completely different way? Walmart seems to think that she can be useful in helping them with their online services. Google benefits from learning about how a retail giant does business.

Anyway, it’s interesting news and I thought it is worth posting. She said this in a statement:

“I have long been a customer and admirer of the company. Walmart is an amazing story of entrepreneurship and, as one of the world’s most powerful brands, touches millions of lives every day. I look forward to contributing to Walmart’s continued growth, success, and innovation in the years to come”

And according to Forbes, she also serves on the boards of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the San Francisco Ballet, the New York City Ballet and the Smithsonian Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum.

Google Executive’s Family Allegedly Made Life Of Abuse Victim A Living Nightmare.

Last month I published an article titled “Victim of Brutal Beating Says She’s ‘Afraid’ of Google Executive’s Family”. It was one of the most read and commented on posts I’ve published on my blog. I received great feedback and the vast majority of readers appreciate knowing about this disturbing story involving a major Google executive’s family. If you haven’t already read that article please do so before reading this one – click here

After I posted my article I received an email from a person who said they wanted to set the record straight about what happened to Mason Mayer’s alleged victim, Kelli Trent. This person told me that they were troubled by false information being spread around and asked for my assistance in having Kelli’s side of the story told.

This person told me lots of information about the Mayer family and the dysfunctional relationship between Mason Mayer and Kelli Trent. This person has politely asked that I not reveal their identity and so I have decided to respect their privacy. I will simply refer to this person as my “source” from this point on.

The information my source revealed to me is disturbing, to say the least. It will give you a greater sense of what happened before the night of the alleged abuse and what took place after that night.

Kelli Trent is an intelligent and hardworking young woman. She moved to San Francisco back in 2005 after completing college and has been consistently employed ever since. Her friends describe her as being very generous and she always tries to help out any way she could. My source wanted to point out that Kelli comes from “a decent amount of wealth herself” and that she often pays for the needs of loved ones without hesitation. She has held some jobs in banking and she even recently tried her hand in a startup company.

Kelli and Mason met back in early February 2011 on his birthday and they started dating immediately after that. Their relationship was very brief but even in that short time it was plagued with serious problems. My source alleges that Mason had been controlling and abusive toward Kelli on numerous occasions.

Mason had not lived in San Francisco for that long. He moved from Minneapolis in the fall of 2010 after his famous sister, Google executive Marissa Mayer, allowed him to live in her penthouse condo. My source alleges that the reason behind Mason’s move is due to him getting in legal trouble in Minneapolis after abusing a “rebound” girlfriend. Marissa apparently wanted to keep him away from “psycho girls” and moved him close to her. Mason and his ex-wife, Kara Mayer, divorced in July 2010.

After he moved to San Francisco and started dating Kelli everything was fine for the first few months. My source alleges that the abuse on Kelli actually began in May after she wanted to leave the relationship. The source showed me a photo of Kelli taken in May with a badly bruised inner arm. The source also alleges that a few days before the night of September 24th Kelli and Mason were at a gym and he didn’t like the way she was interacting with men. He allegedly threw her belongings around and got physically aggressive with her.

Finally the abuse escalated to what took place on night of September 24th. Kelli not only suffered physical injuries but she also sustained a concussion, was disoriented, and had fainting spells. After this incident, she took photographs of her injuries and sent them to Mason’s parents and Marissa was soon notified. My source claims that Kelli was shown little respect by the Mayer family and that they never asked if she was okay. Kelli demanded that Mason get help and the Mayer family came up with Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and therapy sessions – which Mason began two days after the family was notified.

The source claims that Kelli was never offered any financial assistance for her medical needs or for her therapy sessions, which she was badly in need of. Kelli pretty much had to suffer alone and isolated herself in the apartment she shared with a roommate. She didn’t go out much since the beating and only confided in a few close friends.

The source says that soon after, in early October, the Mayer family booked Mason a trip on a European holiday for two weeks, which Kelli took as being insensitive and an insult to her. The source says that the Mayer family neglected to understand the magnitude of the problems between Kelli and Mason. The family also didn’t hold Mason accountable for anything. This is when Kelli was starting to realize that she wanted out of the relationship and was pretty much done protecting the Mayer family.

Sadly, while the Mayer family was off on their European holiday, Kelli’s grandmother passed away. After hearing about her loss, she left to go to Tennessee to be with her family. While with her family, the source claims that Mason phone called Kelli and told her that she was not invited to the Mayer family pumpkin carving party. Marissa allegedly did not want Kelli at the party, which Kelli took as a slap in the face. This was the straw that broke the camel’s back and Kelli finally knew she was done with the relationship with Mason and done with the Mayer family.

Kelli came back to San Francisco on October 30th and Mason was at the airport to pick her up. This is when Kelli broke up with him. The source alleges that Mason was infuriated by this and showed up later in the day to Kelli’s apartment threatening to release nude photos of her and allegedly vowed to smear her reputation. Mason then took the witness of the September 24th beating to the family party.

On November 11th Kelli went to the police to report everything that happened to her. Keep in mind that Kelli and Mason were not together often since the night of September 24th and up until the day she finally reported the alleged abuse to the police. My source says that it took Kelli awhile to come to the realization that she desperately needed to leave the relationship for good. This is consistent with many victims of domestic abuse who feel like they can change their partner’s ways if they just stay in long enough and are often too afraid to leave.

Soon after a warrant was issued while Mason and the rest of the Mayer family were on their annual Thanksgiving holiday in Hawaii.

The source claims that this is when the campaign to discredit Kelli began and her reputation was torn to pieces. Kelli had her life investigated as Mason’s legal team started subpoenaing texts messages, called her former employers, contacted her ex-boyfriends, etc. The source claims that Kelli depends on a good reputation to secure jobs but obtaining employment in her field has become nearly impossible and that her life is in shatters.

The source described to me one incident in January when Kelli was asked to interview at a company event hosted at Founders Den – this is the workplace of Marissa Mayer’s husband, Zack Bogue. Kelli was in the middle of an interview at the event when suddenly Zack allegedly tapped Kelli on the shoulder and loudly told her to get out. Needless to say, Kelli was thoroughly shaken and embarrassed. She promptly left without finishing her interview. My source points out that Kelli had a stay-away order at the time which specified that any third parties related to Mason are not allowed to directly contact Kelli in any way, “so Zack had no right to speak to her that night”.

Kelli has now left San Francisco. This is a woman who depended on her networking capabilities to get jobs but life is harder for her now. The source says that Kelli never wanted to have all this trouble surrounding her – Kelli fell into a brief and tumultuous relationship with Mason which is a mistake she thoroughly regrets.

While Kelli has been suffering for the past 6 months – Mason has gone on holidays and he’s attended several San Francisco society events (thanks to his sister Marissa) such as the opening of a ballet and a Midwinter Gala. The source claims that Mason owns shares in Google, gifted to him by Marissa, and was invited to an exclusive Google company event featuring Lady Gaga back in March 2011. My source finds it revolting that Mason was being “flaunted” around by his family even after they knew what he did to Kelli.

Kelli has not retained a lawyer and is being represented by a District Attorney. The pretrial conference had been postponed three times since January and is now scheduled for April 18th – if found guilty Mason faces a maximum of four years and eight months in state prison.

Disclaimer: Everything in this post should not be taken as fact. They’re allegations described to me by the source and it’s from their point of view of what occurred. There are many sides to everything and this is just one. If there are any issues you have with anything written in this post please email me.

Eric Hague: Dear Google User….

Eric Hague is a humor writer – a funny letter he wrote pretending to be a member of Google’s privacy team was published by The Wall Street Journal today.

Google seems to think it knows what is best for us, knows everything about us, and is smarter than us – the amusing piece by Mr. Hague has a little fun with all that.

Apple Makes Business More Difficult For Google in China

It is being reported that Apple will be ditching Google in China and replacing it with Baidu as the default search engine. Baidu is the dominant search engine provider in China with a market share estimated at 78%, while Google doesn’t even come close to that number.

Apple’s new operating system will integrate various popular Chinese Internet services – this will make it more attractive for consumers. This will further weaken Google in China, which is a huge loss for the company because the Chinese market is a very attractive one. Apple is making it even more difficult for Google to get its foot in the door. Apple also plans to ditch Google as the default search engine on mobile devices in China.

Recently, it was also reported that Apple ditched Google Maps and is now using a free crowdsourcing mapping service for its mobile devices. It looks like the battle between Apple and Google is getting even more intense and Google is losing.

Google Plus Ad Campaign Is Boring and Fails To Promote Strugging Website

Google really doesn’t “get” social. It seems to me that they lack the ability to understand how people want to connect and how they interact. Google executives like Marissa Mayer have admitted that Google has fallen behind in the social aspect of the Web and they are desperately trying to play catch-up.

Well, today Google UK uploaded a video on YouTube advertising the company’s social networking site called Google Plus. The campaign to get more people to use Google Plus doesn’t impress me much. Their video is titled “Google+: Tom” and it shows a man going through life on Google Plus. We see the man add his wife to his circles, it then shows the couple’s newborn child, and other significant moments in life. The video ends with a future look at the aged man as he reminisces about his youth with his friends in a video chat.

Sorry, but the video is so dumb.

I find it so pretentious, over-the-top, and confusing. I don’t like how the video doesn’t show the consistent and linear progression of the man’s life. In my first passive viewing of the video I got confused about whose life was being shared – the dad or the child? When it switches from the little boy in the green school uniform to the prom scene, I thought it was the little boy grown up ha-ha…but it was actually the dad.

I had to take a closer second viewing of the video to catch the stuff I missed.

Afterwards the narrator goes on about being a solider, being in a cannon, being a Justice, and a wise soul ha-ha. It finally ends with a corny aged look of the man with his friends, and he then adds his grandchild to his circles.

I know what this video is trying to be, but I don’t think it successfully accomplished it. It doesn’t pull on the heartstrings, it doesn’t excite me, and it doesn’t make me want to use Google Plus. I don’t think the video is mainstream enough and, quite frankly, it’s boring.

Also, I really don’t want Google keeping decades of personal data of my life  “well saved” on Google Plus. No thanks!

FACEBOOK OVERTAKES GOOGLE IN BRAZIL AS THE MOST VISITED WEBSITE

Facebook has hit another important milestone in South America. Things are looking very promising in Brazil where the social networking giant is improving rapidly. Just this past January it was reported that Facebook is now the dominant social networking site in Brazil, beating Google’s now struggling Orkut.

And now – Experian Hitwise, a digital intelligence tool, is reporting that Facebook has surpassed all of Google’s properties to become the most visited site in Brazil. Over the past year, Facebook’s popularity has skyrocketed while Google is experiencing a gradual decline.

Facebook dominated Google as the most visited site at least five different times this year, mostly on weekends when visits to social networking sites tend to increase. Nevertheless, this is a great sign for Facebook and a disaster for Google. Perhaps Facebook might eventually overtake Google in other countries too…

Huge Fine Against Google For Violating Privacy Is Imminent

The other day the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) released a strongly worded report condemning Google’s privacy violations and the company’s deliberate obstruction of an investigation into the gathering of sensitive data off personal computers. 

The FCC was deeply disturbed by what Google did but they’re hands were pretty much tied and couldn’t take serious action against Google. The federal agency fined Google $25,000 for impeding their investigation and they said what Google did was technically not illegal. According to PCWorld, this is because the laws are not up-to-date with technology. What Google did was obviously an invasion of privacy and SHOULD be illegal but Google seems to have gotten away scot-free because there aren’t laws that protect Americans from criminals who steal their personal data off unencrypted Wi-Fi networks.

Anyway, I came across an article yesterday by the Mercury News stating that Google is about to be hit hard by another federal agency, this time it’s the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). As you all should already know, the FTC has been in the middle of conducting their investigation on Google’s illegal circumvention of Apple’s Safari Web browser.

The Wall Street Journal exposed Google back in February for deliberately bypassing the privacy and security settings of Safari users. Apple set the default setting on its Safari browser to maximum security to protect their users from tracking companies – Google hated this and used a secret code to bypass this security setting. This exposed millions of Safari users to tracking for months without them every knowing about it. Immediately after the Journal released their story several lawsuits against Google popped up.

Now, according to the Mercury News, the major fine against Google is imminent. The newspaper spoke to a source who says that the FTC will take action against Google within a month. The FTC already has a consent order against Google which was put in place late last year. Google violated the privacy of their users when they launched their failed social networking tool called “Buzz”. After an investigation, Google agreed to a settlement that would require the company to regularly submit a compliance report to the FTC and they agreed to two decades of close monitoring from the FTC.  Google also promised never to violate the privacy of their users or any company’s users – evidently they couldn’t keep their promise.

Google faces a fine of $16,000 per violation per day. There were millions of Apple users affected and victimized by this invasion of privacy so you can imagine that the fine could be colossal. Let’s hope the FTC puts Google in its place and hits them hard – Google definitely deserves it.

GOOGLE CHIEF EXECUTIVE SUNDAR PICHAI WAS BRIEFED ON A PLAN NOT TO NOTIFY USERS OF A SOFTWARE GLITCH THAT GAVE OUTSIDE DEVELOPERS POTENTIAL ACCESS TO PRIVATE DATA.

 

Dr. Aajonus Vonderplanitz talks about viruses and swine flu.Aajonus Vonderplanitz (April 17, 1947 – August 28, 2013) was an American alternative nutritionist and food-rights activist who focused on raw foods, especially meat and dairy. Especially controversial, he conducted legal battles and implemented legal workarounds for consumer access to raw milk, and developed a diet based largely on raw meat, the Primal Diet.[4][5][6][7] Yet his later years, marked by his allegations of conspiracies and by his infighting within the food-rights community, drew him notoriety even among advocates of alternative healthcare and food rights.
He claimed hospital diagnosis of cancer soon ruled terminal, but experiencing remission via raw carrot juice and raw dairy by age 21. Later, he began informal nutritional counseling. By age 25, he had adopted raw veganism. Yet at age 29, he added raw meat, which he claimed to vastly improve healing. After publication of his first book, We Want to Live, in 1997, he became a leading alternative nutritionist. In September 1986, at age 39, living in a Beverly Hills “slum” while freelancing in nutrition, Vonderplanitz returned to Cincinnati, Ohio.  There, his only child, his son, estranged for about 20 years, had recently been in a severe car wreck, driving, without a seatbelt on, straight into a tree.[29] Vonderplanitz claimed to have sabotaged his son’s conventional medical treatment, in Mercy Hospital‘s intensive-care unit, and used raw foods to awaken and retrieve his comatose son from imminent death, and to reverse his paralysis and brain damage.  Ten years after his son’s recovery, Vonderplanitz recounted the tale in his first book, We Want to Live, first published in 1997 and revised in 2005.
Upon the 1997 release of Vonderplanitz’s first book, Robert Atkins interviewed him, based by then in Malibu, on Atkins’s nationally syndicated radio show. Vonderplanitz had claimed that his own protocol had cured over 200 clients of cancer.[9] In 2000, Vonderplanitz trademarked the name Primal Diet.  Unlike later diets called “primal”,[e] Vonderplanitz’s Primal Diet principally includes raw meat, raw eggs, raw dairy, raw fats, and unheated honey.  In 2002, his other book, the Recipe for Living Without Disease, was published. Nearing 2010, he was still claiming over 90% rate of cancer remission among his clients closely heeding it.  Despite mainstream dismissal, his Primal Diet gained a sizable following.

& Volume Two–Healthfully (the facts)

Review by Kirt Nieft

Copyright © 1998 by Kirt Nieft. All rights reserved.
This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. for permission to republish.




As indicated in the subtitle, the book is divided into two parts. The first is the mother of all conversion/testimonial stories (125 pages worth). The second starts with a 5-page intro by Ron Strauss and is followed by an encyclopedic listing of foods and preparations (23 pages), then on to 90 pages of “food remedies,” and then 10 pages of “health methodologies.” (The “We Want to Live” web page contains the table of contents in more detail.) Finally, there are 33 pages of appendices (A-X) which are not labeled by topic but serve largely as extended footnotes of material from the “testimonial” section.Volume One’s “the story” is told as first-person narrative. The present-tense story starts with a phone call notifying Aajonus (pronounced like “homogenous” without the “hum”) that his long-estranged son has been in a severe auto accident and because of extensive head injuries is not expected to survive the next 24 hours. After stocking up on Californian raw honey, butter, papayas, etc., Aajonus flies out to stay with his son. By stealthfully replacing his son’s medications with raw-food recipes (initially a mixture of raw honey and butter placed under his tongue while he is in a coma) eventually the brain damage is miraculously repaired to a large degree. Along the way he battles with the hospital administration and policies.
We learn through extensive (and somewhat confusing) flashbacks of his own recovery from cancer and of the recovery of others due to his (mostly) successful nutritional counseling, and even hear about an out-of-body near-death experience (also part of his “conversion”) where the tennis shoes he is wearing melt onto the room’s radiator. We are further privy to his conversion to raw animal foods (he had previously been fruitarian/vegan). After being unsuccessfully coached on the benefits of raw meat by Elk-of-the-Black-Moon (the spirit of Black Elk himself?) at the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation vision quest (this bit is confined to an appendix for no apparent reason), it takes a pack of wild coyotes to convert him: He has decided to fast to death in the desert instead of returning to a diseased civilization (fruitarians love stuff like this, no? ????
 )
 but the coyotes have other plans for him, eventually killing and offering him a rabbit which he eats, and after which, of course, he is reborn.
This is just the tip of the story’s iceberg, though. We learn not only about his troubled past and the “mandatory” health problems, but also about his teenage parenthood and “divorce,” and in general of his path from angry youth to health-seeker to “raw is law.” And he usually has some sort of detox going on: a poison mushroom took him many years to completely cure from, and an Electro Dermal Screening Device (whatever that might be) provided him ill-effects, including a most dramatic detox of bone epoxy used on his skull during previous surgery for an injury. The bonding with his estranged son, and his interaction with the hospital staff, family, and friends (including half a “pick-up” story about a woman in a health-food store which he never gets back to and finishes!) make the narrative surprisingly readable. In a Reader’s Digest “Drama in Real Life” sort of way. ????
As I’ve said, this is the mother of all testimonial/conversion stories ever put to print. Vonderplanitz’s new-age sensibilities lead to a high-pitched “Awww, come on!” reaction from a fellow like me, but it is a whale of a tale, and one suspects mostly true, or at least believed so by the author, who indeed makes an endearing and humble-humble narrator on such a journey. (Highlight: getting the yogis all revved up for the “pleasures of the flesh” by feeding them a diet of avos and citrus. “Awww, come on!” ????
 )
The section surveying foods, remedies, and therapies is much more troubling, and perhaps ironically much more intriguing to me. I am reminded of Dr. Henry G. Bieler’s Food is Your Best Medicine, Herbert Shelton’s Fasting Can Save Your Life, and most every new-age remedy book I’ve ever seen–all rolled into one, and with a RAF (raw-animal-food) slant to boot! Mr. Vonderplanitz does indeed seem to have a cure/recipe for every affliction from cancer to athlete’s foot, but at the same time he is big on following your intuition/craving/instinct–and that what works for one will not for another. His “theoretical explanations” are at once intriguing and head-slapping. Can you figure out which parts of the examples below are which to this reviewer?

The thought of delicious, heavily buttered garlic bread came to mind. I knew it was instinct, my body telling me what is needed to raise my blood pressure. I went back into my apartment and ate a raw clove of garlic with French bread and lots of unsalted butter. Within moments I felt better, satisfied. I decided from that moment on that at least 70% of my diet would consist of raw foods. (p. 48)
Fat resins and residues from cooked or processed green foods first collect in the intestines, becoming impacted. Secondly, they collect as gummy resins in the glands (as in prostatitis, leading to prostate cancer), and thirdly, they collect as gummy resins in the brain (as in Alzheimer’s disease).

The resins and residues from cooked or processed red fruits and vegetables most often collect in the lymph and skin, causing acne, sickly-looking tongues, hard and brittle bones, and deep lesions in the skin when the weather turns cold….

People who lack the enzyme-mutations for digesting, assimilating, and utilizing cooked or processed yellow foods most often look pasty around the nose and eyes, and have very slow digestion, especially after eating a cooked or processed yellow or orange food.

People who lack enzyme-mutations for eating all three food groups–cooked or processed green, red (including orange) and yellow (including orange)–have a predisposition toward HIV positive.” (pp. 136-137)
It is believed that whole raw eggs should not be eaten because albumin in egg white binds with biotin (part of the B-complex) in the body, causing side-effects. Egg yolk contains plenty of biotin to be utilized with albumin in egg white. The albumin/biotin combination is helpful because it helps to dissolve biocarbons and helps muscles retain carbohydrates. Whole raw eggs contain a wonderful, natural balance when eaten in a normal diet (whether the diet is raw or not).

In my experience with animals including human, who ate only the yolk and not the white (along with other foods on a raw diet), metabolism was considerably increased, usually withOUT increasing energy. The side-effects were that often hunger increased to a frenzy and dispositions tended to be irritable. It has been my experience in every case and condition that eating the whole raw egg was more nourishing, and better for metabolic and emotional balance. (p. 146)

And so on. His theoretical explanations (a la
 Bieler’s, and beyond!) seem like wholesale additions to modern nutritional myth and folklore. The lack of references (or intellectual humility, for that matter) severely limits his explanations, to my mind. Yet, given the paucity of info/experience of folks eating RAF over the long term, I am bound by curiosity to his experiences consuming large amounts of RAF, and his “clients” doing the same.
For anyone with the slightest interest in RAF, We Want To Live is almost must reading, but I would hope that any reader would be skeptical of the claims and explanations (and further hope that you don’t become a “raw butter mixed with raw honey” junkie!, though there are worse addictions in this world to be sure ????
 ).
 A non-instincto take on RAF is always interesting to someone like me who is steeped in instincto lore. Ronald Schmid’s Native Nutrition is far more informative and well-written, but lacks any of the first-person stuff in We Want To Live. But in such a paltry arena as RAF, beggars can’t be choosers as far as the books they might read. And there are many who prefer the testimonial approach much more than I do.
Mr. Vonderplanitz is reportedly a very polished speaker, and with his impressive physique (never works out, of course ????
 )
 and commanding presence is very persuasive in the few public appearances he has given so far. But, if he expects to be taken at all seriously, he will need to document his claims, be much more specific in his methodology (if there exist any specifics to his methodology), and back way off with his naive “theoretical explanations.”
Smooth talk and a likeable presence are probably enough for the uncritical minds of most folks into fringe diets–and Mr. Vonderplanitz is almost assured a small fringe following. But if he hopes to impress the mainstream (or get any attention from serious researchers) with the importance of his approach, he will have to provide documentation along with anecdote. He will have to provide a verifiable methodology as well as a winning smile.

Google opted not to disclose to users its discovery of a bug that gave outside developers access to private data. It found no evidence of misuse.

Google exposed the private data of hundreds of thousands of users of the Google+ social network and then opted not to disclose the issue this past spring, in part because of fears that doing so would draw regulatory scrutiny and cause reputational damage, according to people briefed on the incident and documents reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.

As part of its response to the incident, the Alphabet Inc. unit on Monday announced a sweeping set of data privacy measures that include permanently shutting down all consumer functionality of Google+. The move effectively puts the final nail in the coffin of a product that was launched in 2011 to challenge Facebook Inc. and is widely seen as one of Google’s biggest failures.

A software glitch in the social site gave outside developers potential access to private Google+ profile data between 2015 and March 2018, when internal investigators discovered and fixed the issue, according to the documents and people briefed on the incident. A memo reviewed by the Journal prepared by Google’s legal and policy staff and shared with senior executives warned that disclosing the incident would likely trigger “immediate regulatory interest” and invite comparisons to Facebook’s leak of user information to data firm Cambridge Analytica.

Chief Executive Sundar Pichai was briefed on the plan not to notify users after an internal committee had reached that decision, the people said.

The closure of Google+ is part of a broader review of privacy practices by Google that has determined the company needs tighter controls on several major products, the people said. In its announcement Monday, the company said it is curtailing the access it gives outside developers to user data on Android smartphones and Gmail.

Google Advertising Revenue Is Under Major Threat In Australia

Earlier this month a court in Australia reversed a lower court’s decision and ruled that the ads Google allows to run on its search engine are “misleading and deceptive”.

After this ruling by the Federal Court, Google was caught completely off-guard (typical Google arrogance of course) and they definitely were not expecting it to go in that direction. It also extremely worries Google and could set a threatening precedent to their business model. Google is concerned that the Australian court’s decision could be copied by other courts in different countries and it will hurt their bottom line. Google’s ad revenue is worth hundreds of millions of dollars in Australia alone.

Google will fight the court’s decision tooth and nail to avoid this from spreading and to make sure their money-making machine is protected. The company has less than 14 days to appeal the decision to a High Court. What Google is most concerned about is protecting their money and not making sure that their users are protected. This isn’t the first time that the company has gotten themselves in deep trouble over their ad business. The US government forced Google to pay up half a billion dollars for aiding and abetting a con artist commit his crimes (I will post an update story on this soon ,which I forgot to post).

The point is that Google has repeatedly shown that they are willing to accept money from every advertiser, every company, and even criminals if they can get away with it. They obviously have very little ethics and I sure wouldn’t trust them. Be careful clicking on those ads.

This Australian legal battle against Google is a very interesting one to watch. ABC News in Australia did a fantastic report on this story. The video is below and if you want to read the transcript, you can go to their website

Forbes: 6 Months Later and Google Plus Still Sucks

According to a writer for Forbes named Paul Tassi, Google’s latest attempt at social networking is still a failure. Mr. Tassi wrote about his dissatisfaction using Google Plus last year and he received some criticism from loyal diehards of the site – although most people would agree with Mr. Tassi’s observation that the site…well, sucks.

The Wall Street Journal a little while ago published an article claiming that the site is a virtual “ghost town” and users only spent like 3 minutes on the site per month. Of course Google denies this and released vague numbers to contradict any negative publicity.

Anyway, Mr. Tassi gave Google Plus some more time and a second chance to prove itself. He published another article today and he says that Google’s social networking site still doesn’t impress him. He wrote:

“…but I thought now was the time to revisit my thoughts on the site, quite a bit down the road. Over half a year has gone by since then. I’ve posted nearly every day to my G+ page, and have engaged others in conversation about many a topic… I still do not believe Google Plus is the social network it needs to be, nor do I believe it will ever pose a significant threat to Facebook in its current form.”

Mr. Tassi says that none of his friends use Google Plus and don’t seem like they ever will. His friends are using several other social media on the Web, including the red-hot Pinterest which I’m hearing a lot about lately. I think I remember reading someplace that Pinterest is credited for giving websites much of their referral traffic – far exceeding Google Plus.

Mr. Tassi believes that Google Plus appeals to a “niche community” of tech geeks and people who are in certain industries that find the site useful in connecting with the general public versus connecting with friends. Google Plus isn’t really a place you go if you want to connect with your close friends. He says that Google Plus is full of strangers who don’t comment much or engage with the site often. So even though he believes Google Plus isn’t necessarily a “ghost town” based on how you look at the numbers, it sure does give off the feeling that it’s empty and cold.

 I have posted an article on my blog calling Google Plus “pretentious” once. I actually think Google sells its social networking site as being a high-brow version of Facebook – as if Facebook is that place common folks exchange frivolous things with one another while Google Plus folks share more meaningful material. It’s typical Google arrogance.

Google’s social networking site does not look like it will get any better any time soon or ever. It’s been around for a long time now and the company has huge expectations for the site. Google desperately wants to see its struggling social networking site grow and become a success, there is a lot weighing on it. Yet even with so much invested in the site, Google cannot seem to win.

Victim Of Brutal Beating Says She Is “Afraid” of Google Executive’s Family.

 

There is disturbing bombshell news that has been exposed the other day and it involves a major employee of Google. Marissa Mayer has been with Google since the very early days of the company, she is often said to be the 20th employee of Google. As one of the very first employees of Google, Marissa knows a lot about Google and she is deeply embedded in this company. Her current job title is Vice President of Local, Maps, and Location services.

Marissa became a very wealthy woman after Google became a public company in 2004. She is often seen as the public face of Google itself. You see her everywhere doing all sorts of different interviews with newspapers and even on television programs like the Martha Stewart Show. She has become somewhat of a celebrity and a spokeswoman for Google. The company uses her bright smile and photogenic looks to give itself an attractive public image.

However, Google might want to keep Marissa out of the spotlight for awhile – perhaps never again. The innocent looking and charming woman Google used as the public face of the company is part of a family that isn’t so attractive.

Now, I have written here before that this blog doesn’t focus on tabloid topics or personal issues, but this particular case involving the Mayer family is different. I don’t like gossipy, irrelevant, and frivolous stuff – but I will focus on criminal activity that has strong connections to Google.

The younger brother of Marissa, Mason Mayer, has been accused of three felonies: assault, false imprisonment and domestic violence. He allegedly brutally beat his girlfriend, Kelli Ann Trent, after a night out back in September 2011. We are learning about this now because The San Francisco Appeal newspaper investigated this case and published their findings yesterday.

Alright – so here’s what happened, according to court documents obtained by the newspaper. An affidavit submitted by San Francisco Police Department Inspector Michael Becker, details exactly what allegedly happened between Mason Mayer and his girlfriend:

On the evening of September 24, Mason and Kelli were getting ready to go to a party. They were at Mason’s condo residence at the time. Prior to the leaving to go to the party, they had an argument over a woman – who Mason allegedly cheated with – attending the party too.

The couple went to the party but there was still tension between them. According to the court document, Mason angrily accused a bartender of hitting on his girlfriend. He also became angry at Kelli Ann Trent for speaking with Marissa Mayer’s husband. Mason apparently “dislikes” his brother-in-law for some reason.

The couple left the party and went back home to Mason’s condo residence. While walking through the building hallway, Mason shoved Kelli. He then took her inside the residence, locked her in his bedroom, and then threw Kelli on the floor of the bedroom.

Mason began spitting in the face of his girlfriend, pulling her hair out, and he slammed her head against the marble bedroom floor. Kelli was in agony and in the fetal position trying to protect herself. Mason repeatedly punched her in the face, while Kelli struggled to get away. He told her that the only way she was going to get out of the beating was by driving her to the Golden Gate Bridge and throwing her off it.

Luckily for Kelli, before things could get any worse, Mason’s cell phone started ringing. It was a friend of the couple who was calling to ask to pick up his personal items from the condo. While on the phone, Kelli screamed for help.

The friend eventually arrived at the condo residence and Mason answered the front door to let him in. Kelli ran out of the bedroom hysterical and crying out for help. Mason grabbed her and wouldn’t let her go. The friend asked Mason to let her go but he refused. The friend said that he would call the police if he didn’t let her go. After Mason finally agreed to let Kelli go, she went back into the bedroom to retrieve her bag.

But Mason followed her back into the bedroom and locked the door shut again. The friend decided to stay the night at the condo to make sure nothing bad happened. The next morning, Kelli got up and she noticed all the injuries to her body.

Kelli eventually went to the police to report what happened to her. The 33-year-old Mason Mayer was arrested by police on November 28, 2011. In January a judge ordered Mason to stay away from Kelli. He has pleaded not guilty – but if found guilty he faces a maximum four years and eight months in state prison. Mason Mayer has a pretrial conference in a Superior Court on April 18th, 2012.

This is all so disturbing and vile. I need a shower after reading the court documents and seeing the injuries on the alleged victim. Mason Mayer is apparently very close to his famous sister and lives off her success. According to The San Francisco Appeal newspaper, Mason lives in the same luxury building as his sister and he was never worked since his sister struck it rich working at Google.

Just keep this in mind: these are the type of people you entrust your personal information with when you use Google. I certainly wouldn’t want people like Mason Mayer and his executive sister anywhere near my personal data. Knowing about the ethics and morals of the people who handle very sensitive data about you is so important.

 If I don’t trust you, I will not do business with you – ever.

Federal Agency Fines Google $25,000 “Deliberately” Impeding Investigation

It was reported yesterday that the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) fined Google $25,000 for not cooperating with an investigation over Google’s massive invasion of privacy involving its Street View service.

The FCC said that Google “deliberately impeded and delayed” its investigation. Google made it very difficult for investigators to gain access to employees and hid important evidence. Google did not answer emails and the company even tried to hide the identities of the employees involved in the privacy violations from two years ago.

In 2010, Google’s Street View cars collected very private information from unencrypted home computers. When Google was caught doing this it apologized and said that it didn’t deliberately try to capture private data. Soon after the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) investigated and sided with Google’s explanation that it was a mistake. Although the US didn’t take the massive privacy violation seriously, European countries were more concerned.

Now the FCC has come out and exposed Google’s refusal to cooperate with the investigation. This is really embarrassing for a company that claims it’s so transparent about everything it does and is cooperative with regulators. This is not the first regulators have complained about Google’s secrecy, arrogance, and unwillingness to cooperate with investigations. The French data protection agency currently investigating Google’s new privacy policy said that Google neglected to contact them before implementing their controversial and intrusive privacy policy.

The $25,000 Google is now forced to pay will do nothing to the company’s bottom line. Google raked in about $40 billion last year. Over 90% of Google’s revenues come from advertising – this means that Google makes money by selling your personal data to advertisers. This is the reason Google consolidated their privacy policies into a singular policy – it makes it easier for the company to figure you out and it’s more profitable. A Google spokesman said that the company is on a mission to combat against “the faceless Web”.

Google paying a $25,000 fine is like an average person paying a one cent fine – but don’t get too hung up on the amount of that fine. The biggest hit Google received from this new report by the FCC is its reputation. Most people think way too highly of this company and if more reports like this come out to expose Google’s dirt then the better it will be for the general public.

I love what Christina DesMarais, PCWorld, wrote in her article:

“…if Google’s uncooperative behavior is true as the FCC maintains, the obvious question is, ‘What is Google hiding?’ Consumers and advocacy groups have often criticized Google’s seemingly insatiable appetite for personal information, such as its recent consolidation of its privacy policies so as to have a better view into user behaviors and preferences. Because of the amount of attention those privacy concerns have garnered, you’d think a policy of transparency on Google’s part would bode well with those who have doubts about whether or not the company can be trusted with increasing amounts of personal data.”

Things that make you go hmmm…

Three years ago, The New York Times published an article titled “Putting a Bolder Face on Google” and it’s a fantastic read. It focuses on Marissa and really let’s you know more about her character. Here are some interesting quotes about her in the article:

“Mayer, who is Google Employee No. 20…A popular guest on TV news programs and talk shows, a Google-booster often quoted in print, and a rapid-fire presence on San Francisco’s social scene, she is the rare executive who has become — at least in the sometimes cloistered world of computer geeks — a celebrity”

“Ms. Mayer, 33, plays a pivotal, serious role at Google…She is one of the few Googlers with unfettered access to and influence over Mr. Brin and Mr. Page”

A 2009 Gawker.com article described her as “the best known Google executive outside the search engine’s CEO, Eric Schmidt, and its billionaire founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin”

Ms. Mayer has even dated the current Google CEO Larry Page at one point. This is a woman very much part of the identity of Google and a recognizable face of the company.

I’m leaving you a video of her on the Martha Stewart show

Embarrassing Apples Is Responsible For The Vast Majority of Google’s Mobile Revenue

There are new revelations about the health of Google’s mobile business and it looks like Google is in really bad shape. Thanks to documents submitted in the legal battle between Google and Oracle over patents, the public gets a new look at exactly how well Google’s Android is performing.

Google is secretive about letting the public know about how much revenue Android brings in – but now we know that Android actually doesn’t make much money for Google at all. Google’s overall 2011 revenues totaled about $40 billion and much of that is from ads from search results on desktop computers. Very little of Google’s overall revenues is from mobile.

According to The Guardian, Android generated less than $550 million between 2008 and 2011 – pitiful. Google produces the Android software which it then gives away for free to handset makers to sell. Google makes its money from ad revenue on the mobile devices and from applications on Google Play (formerly known as Android Market), which is doing extremely poorly compared to Apple’s App store.

Here is where it gets particularly interesting – Google actually makes more money from Apple’s mobile devices than it does from its own Android powered smartphones! Now isn’t that hilarious, ha-ha, especially considering the recent bad blood between Google and Apple.

Apple is responsible for generating more than four times as much revenue for Google! This is because at least half of all smartphone owners use an Apple device and Google is the default search engine. Apple also extensively used Google Maps – but as recently told Google to get lost and is now using a mixture of its own acquired mapping technology and free crowdsourced mapping.

Who knew that Apple had such a big role in Google’s mobile business?

Majority of Google’s mobile traffic can be credited to Apple. Google should be grateful to Apple for being so helpful, but Google treats Apple like crap. Google expressed its gratitude to Apple by trying to impose itself into Apple’s territory, which infuriated Apple.

What did Apple do as payback?

Apple no longer extensively uses Google Maps, Apple added other search engines as alternative options to Google’s, and Apple appears to be ditching Google altogether in China (a huge and attractive market). And we all know about how Apple set its Safari Web browser default to automatically block third-party tracking cookies  – however, it was exposed last month that Google illegally circumvented this security feature, but is now facing countless lawsuits from Apple users.

Psst…hey Google…don’t bite that hand that feeds you.

Google Enjoy Too Much Media Cove Rage

I have made the claim that the media doesn’t give Google enough scrutiny and that the company often gets underserved favorable press. This is a major reason I started this blog in the first place, so that the average person out there can see what Google is really all about.

I remember seeing articles recently claiming that Google currently has the best reputation among any company in America. This is very disturbing considering all the sordid details I have been posting about Google’s lack of privacy, their pitiful ethics, their lies, the incessant lawsuits, and even criminal investigations. It’s disappointing and saddening that so many Americans put so much trust in this company – it just leaves me shaking my head and I think to myself “if only they knew better”.

I came across three really great articles comparing Google to Microsoft. I want to share these articles with you, but please don’t view this as me trying to sell Microsoft to you. I’m just using the articles to illustrate media bias and to show you how much Google has changed over the years.

The article published by InfoWorld’s J. Peter Bruzzese is excellent and lays out evidence to argue that the media unfairly bashes Microsoft way too often while Google’s errors are conveniently overlooked. He writes,

“I’ve noticed an unfair, ongoing trend: If Microsoft does something a little off, it gets bashed into the ground for it. But if Google… missteps, it generally gets mild reprimands and even support from the media and those drinking the Kool-Aid.”

Ever since I started this blog earlier this year I have been reading about the comparisons people are making between Microsoft and Google. These comparisons argue that Google has really changed for the worse over the years. As some of you probably already know, Google’s infamous unofficial motto is “don’t be evil”. In the early idealistic days of Google the company didn’t want to be like other established tech giants (i.e. Microsoft) because they perceived them as representing negativity and as being old-fashioned. But now people are starting to notice that little ol’ Google ain’t all that different from Microsoft – actually, some argue, that Google is worse now.

The article published by Forbes gives you 7 similarities between Google and Microsoft – perhaps now the pot should stop calling the kettle black– to read the Forbes article, please click here.

Finally, a very interesting article appeared on The Daily Beast website by Dan Lyons. The author spent 30 days using nothing but Microsoft products to compare it with Google’s products. He wanted to see if Microsoft can win him over and if Google’s products are really worth keeping. To find out what he concluded you gotta read the full article for yourself – click here

Google is currently enjoying much of the general public’s trust– but what is most hopeful is that this is slowly changing. As more people become knowledgeable and fed-up with Google’s antics, their arrogance, their invasion on our privacy, and other wrongdoings we will finally see Google fall off its throne. As any good business person will tell you, the most important thing in business is rightfully earning the trust and admiration of the public – once you lose this you’ve lost everything.

MARISSA MAYER IS NOMINATED TO SERVE ON WALMART’S BOARD

Google’s top woman has been nominated to serve on the board of Walmart. The massive retailer corporation made the announcement today that Marissa Mayer could potentially take the board’s 16th spot.

And yes, it’s that same Marissa Mayer…you know…the same high-profile Google executive whose brother allegedly brutally beat up his girlfriend and threatened to throw her off San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge…

At only 36, Ms. Mayer will be the youngest person on the board if elected at the company’s shareholder’s meeting on June 1st. I was reading through different articles about her nomination to board, many questioned whether she is the right fit for the company’s board. She doesn’t really have much experience outside of Google, if any at all. She was hired at Google straight out of graduate school in 1999 and shuffled around at that Google ever since.

Is she a one-hit wonder? Can her leadership skills at Google translate over to other companies that operate in a completely different way? Walmart seems to think that she can be useful in helping them with their online services. Google benefits from learning about how a retail giant does business.

Anyway, it’s interesting news and I thought it is worth posting. She said this in a statement:

“I have long been a customer and admirer of the company. Walmart is an amazing story of entrepreneurship and, as one of the world’s most powerful brands, touches millions of lives every day. I look forward to contributing to Walmart’s continued growth, success, and innovation in the years to come”

And according to Forbes, she also serves on the boards of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the San Francisco Ballet, the New York City Ballet and the Smithsonian Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum.

Google Executive’s Family Allegedly Made Life Of Abuse Victim A Living Nightmare.

Last month I published an article titled “Victim of Brutal Beating Says She’s ‘Afraid’ of Google Executive’s Family”. It was one of the most read and commented on posts I’ve published on my blog. I received great feedback and the vast majority of readers appreciate knowing about this disturbing story involving a major Google executive’s family. If you haven’t already read that article please do so before reading this one – click here

After I posted my article I received an email from a person who said they wanted to set the record straight about what happened to Mason Mayer’s alleged victim, Kelli Trent. This person told me that they were troubled by false information being spread around and asked for my assistance in having Kelli’s side of the story told.

This person told me lots of information about the Mayer family and the dysfunctional relationship between Mason Mayer and Kelli Trent. This person has politely asked that I not reveal their identity and so I have decided to respect their privacy. I will simply refer to this person as my “source” from this point on.

The information my source revealed to me is disturbing, to say the least. It will give you a greater sense of what happened before the night of the alleged abuse and what took place after that night.

Kelli Trent is an intelligent and hardworking young woman. She moved to San Francisco back in 2005 after completing college and has been consistently employed ever since. Her friends describe her as being very generous and she always tries to help out any way she could. My source wanted to point out that Kelli comes from “a decent amount of wealth herself” and that she often pays for the needs of loved ones without hesitation. She has held some jobs in banking and she even recently tried her hand in a startup company.

Kelli and Mason met back in early February 2011 on his birthday and they started dating immediately after that. Their relationship was very brief but even in that short time it was plagued with serious problems. My source alleges that Mason had been controlling and abusive toward Kelli on numerous occasions.

Mason had not lived in San Francisco for that long. He moved from Minneapolis in the fall of 2010 after his famous sister, Google executive Marissa Mayer, allowed him to live in her penthouse condo. My source alleges that the reason behind Mason’s move is due to him getting in legal trouble in Minneapolis after abusing a “rebound” girlfriend. Marissa apparently wanted to keep him away from “psycho girls” and moved him close to her. Mason and his ex-wife, Kara Mayer, divorced in July 2010.

After he moved to San Francisco and started dating Kelli everything was fine for the first few months. My source alleges that the abuse on Kelli actually began in May after she wanted to leave the relationship. The source showed me a photo of Kelli taken in May with a badly bruised inner arm. The source also alleges that a few days before the night of September 24th Kelli and Mason were at a gym and he didn’t like the way she was interacting with men. He allegedly threw her belongings around and got physically aggressive with her.

Finally the abuse escalated to what took place on night of September 24th. Kelli not only suffered physical injuries but she also sustained a concussion, was disoriented, and had fainting spells. After this incident, she took photographs of her injuries and sent them to Mason’s parents and Marissa was soon notified. My source claims that Kelli was shown little respect by the Mayer family and that they never asked if she was okay. Kelli demanded that Mason get help and the Mayer family came up with Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and therapy sessions – which Mason began two days after the family was notified.

The source claims that Kelli was never offered any financial assistance for her medical needs or for her therapy sessions, which she was badly in need of. Kelli pretty much had to suffer alone and isolated herself in the apartment she shared with a roommate. She didn’t go out much since the beating and only confided in a few close friends.

The source says that soon after, in early October, the Mayer family booked Mason a trip on a European holiday for two weeks, which Kelli took as being insensitive and an insult to her. The source says that the Mayer family neglected to understand the magnitude of the problems between Kelli and Mason. The family also didn’t hold Mason accountable for anything. This is when Kelli was starting to realize that she wanted out of the relationship and was pretty much done protecting the Mayer family.

Sadly, while the Mayer family was off on their European holiday, Kelli’s grandmother passed away. After hearing about her loss, she left to go to Tennessee to be with her family. While with her family, the source claims that Mason phone called Kelli and told her that she was not invited to the Mayer family pumpkin carving party. Marissa allegedly did not want Kelli at the party, which Kelli took as a slap in the face. This was the straw that broke the camel’s back and Kelli finally knew she was done with the relationship with Mason and done with the Mayer family.

Kelli came back to San Francisco on October 30th and Mason was at the airport to pick her up. This is when Kelli broke up with him. The source alleges that Mason was infuriated by this and showed up later in the day to Kelli’s apartment threatening to release nude photos of her and allegedly vowed to smear her reputation. Mason then took the witness of the September 24th beating to the family party.

On November 11th Kelli went to the police to report everything that happened to her. Keep in mind that Kelli and Mason were not together often since the night of September 24th and up until the day she finally reported the alleged abuse to the police. My source says that it took Kelli awhile to come to the realization that she desperately needed to leave the relationship for good. This is consistent with many victims of domestic abuse who feel like they can change their partner’s ways if they just stay in long enough and are often too afraid to leave.

Soon after a warrant was issued while Mason and the rest of the Mayer family were on their annual Thanksgiving holiday in Hawaii.

The source claims that this is when the campaign to discredit Kelli began and her reputation was torn to pieces. Kelli had her life investigated as Mason’s legal team started subpoenaing texts messages, called her former employers, contacted her ex-boyfriends, etc. The source claims that Kelli depends on a good reputation to secure jobs but obtaining employment in her field has become nearly impossible and that her life is in shatters.

The source described to me one incident in January when Kelli was asked to interview at a company event hosted at Founders Den – this is the workplace of Marissa Mayer’s husband, Zack Bogue. Kelli was in the middle of an interview at the event when suddenly Zack allegedly tapped Kelli on the shoulder and loudly told her to get out. Needless to say, Kelli was thoroughly shaken and embarrassed. She promptly left without finishing her interview. My source points out that Kelli had a stay-away order at the time which specified that any third parties related to Mason are not allowed to directly contact Kelli in any way, “so Zack had no right to speak to her that night”.

Kelli has now left San Francisco. This is a woman who depended on her networking capabilities to get jobs but life is harder for her now. The source says that Kelli never wanted to have all this trouble surrounding her – Kelli fell into a brief and tumultuous relationship with Mason which is a mistake she thoroughly regrets.

While Kelli has been suffering for the past 6 months – Mason has gone on holidays and he’s attended several San Francisco society events (thanks to his sister Marissa) such as the opening of a ballet and a Midwinter Gala. The source claims that Mason owns shares in Google, gifted to him by Marissa, and was invited to an exclusive Google company event featuring Lady Gaga back in March 2011. My source finds it revolting that Mason was being “flaunted” around by his family even after they knew what he did to Kelli.

Kelli has not retained a lawyer and is being represented by a District Attorney. The pretrial conference had been postponed three times since January and is now scheduled for April 18th – if found guilty Mason faces a maximum of four years and eight months in state prison.

Disclaimer: Everything in this post should not be taken as fact. They’re allegations described to me by the source and it’s from their point of view of what occurred. There are many sides to everything and this is just one. If there are any issues you have with anything written in this post please email me.

Eric Hague: Dear Google User….

Eric Hague is a humor writer – a funny letter he wrote pretending to be a member of Google’s privacy team was published by The Wall Street Journal today.

Apple Makes Business More Difficult For Google in China

It is being reported that Apple will be ditching Google in China and replacing it with Baidu as the default search engine. Baidu is the dominant search engine provider in China with a market share estimated at 78%, while Google doesn’t even come close to that number.

Apple’s new operating system will integrate various popular Chinese Internet services – this will make it more attractive for consumers. This will further weaken Google in China, which is a huge loss for the company because the Chinese market is a very attractive one. Apple is making it even more difficult for Google to get its foot in the door. Apple also plans to ditch Google as the default search engine on mobile devices in China.

Recently, it was also reported that Apple ditched Google Maps and is now using a free crowdsourcing mapping service for its mobile devices. It looks like the battle between Apple and Google is getting even more intense and Google is losing.

Google Plus Ad Campaign Is Boring and Fails To Promote Strugging Website

Google really doesn’t “get” social. It seems to me that they lack the ability to understand how people want to connect and how they interact. Google executives like Marissa Mayer have admitted that Google has fallen behind in the social aspect of the Web and they are desperately trying to play catch-up.

Well, today Google UK uploaded a video on YouTube advertising the company’s social networking site called Google Plus. The campaign to get more people to use Google Plus doesn’t impress me much. Their video is titled “Google+: Tom” and it shows a man going through life on Google Plus. We see the man add his wife to his circles, it then shows the couple’s newborn child, and other significant moments in life. The video ends with a future look at the aged man as he reminisces about his youth with his friends in a video chat.

Sorry, but the video is so dumb.

I find it so pretentious, over-the-top, and confusing. I don’t like how the video doesn’t show the consistent and linear progression of the man’s life. In my first passive viewing of the video I got confused about whose life was being shared – the dad or the child? When it switches from the little boy in the green school uniform to the prom scene, I thought it was the little boy grown up ha-ha…but it was actually the dad.

I had to take a closer second viewing of the video to catch the stuff I missed.

Afterwards the narrator goes on about being a solider, being in a cannon, being a Justice, and a wise soul ha-ha. It finally ends with a corny aged look of the man with his friends, and he then adds his grandchild to his circles.

I know what this video is trying to be, but I don’t think it successfully accomplished it. It doesn’t pull on the heartstrings, it doesn’t excite me, and it doesn’t make me want to use Google Plus. I don’t think the video is mainstream enough and, quite frankly, it’s boring.

Also, I really don’t want Google keeping decades of personal data of my life  “well saved” on Google Plus. No thanks!

FACEBOOK OVERTAKES GOOGLE IN BRAZIL AS THE MOST VISITED WEBSITE

 

Facebook has hit another important milestone in South America. Things are looking very promising in Brazil where the social networking giant is improving rapidly. Just this past January it was reported that Facebook is now the dominant social networking site in Brazil, beating Google’s now struggling Orkut.

And now – Experian Hitwise, a digital intelligence tool, is reporting that Facebook has surpassed all of Google’s properties to become the most visited site in Brazil. Over the past year, Facebook’s popularity has skyrocketed while Google is experiencing a gradual decline.

Facebook dominated Google as the most visited site at least five different times this year, mostly on weekends when visits to social networking sites tend to increase. Nevertheless, this is a great sign for Facebook and a disaster for Google. Perhaps Facebook might eventually overtake Google in other countries too…

Huge Fine Against Google For Violating Privacy Is Imminent

The other day the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) released a strongly worded report condemning Google’s privacy violations and the company’s deliberate obstruction of an investigation into the gathering of sensitive data off personal computers. 

The FCC was deeply disturbed by what Google did but they’re hands were pretty much tied and couldn’t take serious action against Google. The federal agency fined Google $25,000 for impeding their investigation and they said what Google did was technically not illegal. According to PCWorld, this is because the laws are not up-to-date with technology. What Google did was obviously an invasion of privacy and SHOULD be illegal but Google seems to have gotten away scot-free because there aren’t laws that protect Americans from criminals who steal their personal data off unencrypted Wi-Fi networks.

Anyway, I came across an article yesterday by the Mercury News stating that Google is about to be hit hard by another federal agency, this time it’s the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). As you all should already know, the FTC has been in the middle of conducting their investigation on Google’s illegal circumvention of Apple’s Safari Web browser.

The Wall Street Journal exposed Google back in February for deliberately bypassing the privacy and security settings of Safari users. Apple set the default setting on its Safari browser to maximum security to protect their users from tracking companies – Google hated this and used a secret code to bypass this security setting. This exposed millions of Safari users to tracking for months without them every knowing about it. Immediately after the Journal released their story several lawsuits against Google popped up.

Now, according to the Mercury News, the major fine against Google is imminent. The newspaper spoke to a source who says that the FTC will take action against Google within a month. The FTC already has a consent order against Google which was put in place late last year. Google violated the privacy of their users when they launched their failed social networking tool called “Buzz”. After an investigation, Google agreed to a settlement that would require the company to regularly submit a compliance report to the FTC and they agreed to two decades of close monitoring from the FTC.  Google also promised never to violate the privacy of their users or any company’s users – evidently they couldn’t keep their promise.

Google faces a fine of $16,000 per violation per day. There were millions of Apple users affected and victimized by this invasion of privacy so you can imagine that the fine could be colossal. Let’s hope the FTC puts Google in its place and hits them hard – Google definitely deserves it.

Major General Smedley Darlington Butler (July 30, 1881 – June 21, 1940), nicknamed the Maverick Marine, was a senior United States Marine Corps officer. During his 34-year career, he fought in the Philippine–American War, the Boxer Rebellion, the Mexican RevolutionWorld War I, and the Banana Wars. At the time of his death, Butler was the most decorated Marine in U.S. history. By the end of his career, Butler had received sixteen medals, including five for heroism; he is the only Marine to be awarded the Brevet Medal as well as two Medals of Honor, all for separate actions.

All Wars Are Banker Wars Part 3

In 1933, he became involved in a controversy known as the Business Plot, when he told a congressional committee that a group of wealthy industrialists were planning a military coup to overthrow President Franklin D. Roosevelt, with Butler selected to lead a march of veterans to become dictator, similar to fascist regimes at that time. The individuals involved all denied the existence of a plot, which included the father of George H. W. BushPrescott Bush, and the media ridiculed the allegations, but a final report by a special House of Representatives Committee confirmed some of Butler's testimony.

Butler later became an outspoken critic of American wars and their consequences. In 1935, Butler wrote the book War Is a Racket, where he alleged imperialist motivations for U.S. foreign policy and wars (such as those in which he had been involved). After retiring from service, he became a popular advocate, speaking at meetings organized by veterans, pacifists, and church groups in the 1930s.

Butler, a retired United States Marine Corps Major General and two-time Medal of Honor recipient. Based on his career military experience, Butler discusses how business interests commercially benefit from warfare. He had been appointed commanding officer of the Gendarmerie during the 1915–1934 United States occupation of Haiti.

After Butler retired from the US Marine Corps in October 1931, he made a nationwide tour in the early 1930s giving his speech "War Is a Racket". The speech was so well received that he wrote a longer version as a short book published in 1935. His work was condensed in Reader's Digest as a book supplement, which helped popularize his message. In an introduction to the Reader's Digest version, Lowell Thomas, who wrote Butler’s oral autobiography, praised Butler's "moral as well as physical courage".

ALL WARS ARE BANKERS' WARS!
by Michael Rivero
"Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. The Bankers own the Earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create deposits, and with the flick of a pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take it away from them, and all the fortunes like mine will disappear, and they ought to disappear, for this world would be a happier and better world to live in. But if you wish to remain slaves of the Bankers and pay for the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create deposits." -- Sir Josiah Stamp, President of the Bank of England in the 1920s, the second richest man in Britain I know many people have a great deal of difficulty comprehending just how many wars are started for no other purpose than to force private central banks onto nations, so let me share a few examples, so that you understand why the US Government is mired in so many wars against so many foreign nations. There is ample precedent for this. The United States fought the American Revolution primarily over King George III's Currency act, which forced the colonists to conduct their business only using printed bank notes borrowed from the Bank of England at interest.

Why is it said that ISIS has been created by the CIA?
 

Well there are many theories which support the view that ISIS was nurtured, funded and in fact created by CIA. But possibilities are high that they did'nt know that the animal they were feeding would turn out to be a venomous snake.

These two actions have cost them (and the rest of the world) very dearly-

1.Iraq- It dates back to 2006 when Saddam Hussein was executed on several charges (that is a whole different story). It created a power vacuum in Iraq which lead to sporadic rise of several rebellious groups in Iraq.

2.Syria- Syria was also struck with a problem of its own. People in Syria were

 
 

The support of Islamic Terrorists by Western Security Agencies:

See UN Report: Israel has been materially aiding ISIS.

This is the moment when our Governments and controlled MSM narrative on the War on Terror has officially lost all credibility and begins to resemble a Walt Disney production.

Besides, how many more times can the American airforce "accidentally" drop weapons to ISIS/ISIL in Syria or Iraq's Anbar Province?

In 2015 the Iraqi's shot down both British and US Airforce planes delivering weapons and equipment to ISIS. That's one way to keep a US Military presence in a country. Secretly enable the very terrorist groups you're there to assist with eradicating. Why do you think Iraqi Parliamentarians stood up and demanded the US Military leaves Iraq?

How do you accidentally ship 3,000 tons of weapons to ISIS via Croatia?

Remember the pictures of the long convoys of ISIS fighters in their fleets of Toyota Trucks? The fleets of Toyota trucks (confirmed by Toyota) came from Saudi, Qatar, UAE and Jordan with about 60,000 vehicles purchased.

If the US had genuinely wanted to defeat ISIS they would have done it when they were an easy target striking the huge long conveys that were visible from satellites(!) moving East out of Syria and crossing the border into Iraq before the “inexplicable” fall of Mosul in the early summer of 2014.

Mosul citizens were used as human shields by ISIS as the US Coalition liberates the city.

Interesting how these terrorists are protected around oil producing regions...

This terrorism in Syria is a Western construct - See EX head of the DIA, General Flynn 2012 who warned that without tackling ISIS they would form a Caliphate.

A new explosive INLTV News Book and Film Being Made Exposing The Hidden Darker Hidden Side of How and Why The Israel Gaza Hamas Palestinian War Started and Who Was Behind Arranging The Spark That Gave An Excuse For Israel and its USA War Crime Partners To Start Such War.

The Gate Is Open" ..

A new explosive  INLTV News Book and Film Being Made Exposing The Hidden Darker Hidden Side of How and Why The Israel Gaza Hamas Palestinian War Started  and Who Was Behind Arranging The Spark That Gave Israel and its USA Partners in War Crimes To Set About Demolishing Gaza and deliberately murdering thousands of  innocent women and children, along with causing  over 50,000 Palestinians to be injured by Israeli and US Bombs, Guns and Rockets, and the murder of more than 60 journalists ..using  starvation and a lack of safe clean water and  crowded tent cities with no toilets or bathrooms,  the Gaza Palestinians have been forced moved to as a  result of their homes being regularity bombed by Israeli and US Bombs and Rockets 

Why Gaza matters

The Ben Gurion Canal project

One of the original planned paths would go through the Arabah valley, cut west before the Dead Sea basin through the hills and curves north again to avoid the Gaza Strip

The US had once proposed to use some 520 nuclear bombs on the Negev Desert (Naqab) to help create the canal. With Gaza razed to the ground, there have been alleged plans to literally cut corners and reduce costs by diverting the canal straight through the middle of the Palestinian enclave. However, the presence of Palestinians there would remain an obstacle.

 Israel Gaza Palestine War (inltv.co.uk)

Since Israel launched its onslaught on the besieged enclave, it has pushed Palestinians to move south by relentlessly bombing northern Gaza before carrying out a ground invasion weeks later. At least 400,000 Palestinians have been displaced from the north to the south, according to statistics from the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS).

Some 800,000 Palestinians remained in areas considered "north" - namely past north of Wadi Gaza. Israel's indiscriminate bombing campaign, which has mostly targeted the north - has killed at least 11,470 people in Gaza - mostly civilians, including women and children.

The death toll has not been updated for days due to Israel's targeting of the largest hospital in Gaza, Al-Shifa, which was a centre for collecting data on deaths and the wounded.

Israel denies it has plans to annex the Strip but it had called for the "voluntary migration" of Palestinians in Gaza amid accusations that it was "ethnically cleansing" the enclave.

"If We Turn Enough Light On We Can Show All Children On Planet Earth Belong To All Of Us"... Madonna

“It breaks my heart watching what’s happening in Israel and Palestine,” she told the crowd. “It breaks my heart to see children suffering, teenagers suffering, elderly people suffering. All of it is heartbreaking, okay? I’m sure you agree. Even though our hearts are broken, our spirits cannot be broken. Are you with me?” After the crowd clapped in approval, Madonna continued. 

“A lot of people say, ‘Well, what can I do? I’m just one person.’ You feel hopeless. You feel helpless. What can we do? There’s a lot we can do. First and foremost, we can say, ‘I can make a difference because I individually can bring light into the world with my actions, with my words, each and every day.’ I’m sorry. This isn’t about lecturing you — but we are all together very powerful people. We can unite in a dark and evil way, or we can unite from a place of light and love. And if we all have that collective consciousness, we can change the world, and we can bring peace – not only to the Middle East, but to the whole world.”... Madonna

WikiLeaks Reveals How the US Aggressively Pursued Regime Change in Syria, Igniting a Bloodbath

The most damaging email reveals that Clinton knows that Qatar and Saudi Barbaria are funding Islamic State, yet this neither stops her shipping arms to those countries or accepting donations to the Clinton Foundation.

We know Israel’s position on ISIS because the Israeli’s have been giving these NATO backed Jihadi mercenaries brigades medical aid in the occupied Syrian Golan Heights.

A senior Israeli Army Officer has already stated that Israel would be prefer ISIS in Syria to Assad.

We know that an Israeli Colonel was captured leading an ISIS brigade.

We know Pakistani Intelligence caught an ISIS leader who told then he was being paid $600 by the Americans for each new Jihadi recruit he signed up.

We know that when Eastern Aleppo was liberated from these Jihadi psychopaths, that 14 Intel Officers (from various GCC & Western countries and including Israel) were caught in a bunker. They had been giving logistics to the know terrorist group:

Al Nusra Front. There are NO moderate fighters in Syria.

They are all terrorists. 85% of them are foreign to Syria:

Fatah Al Sham belongs to Qatar.

Ahrar Al-Sham belongs to Saudi Arabia.

Faylaq Al-Sham belongs to Turkey.

Suqur Al-Sham belongs to Jordan.

Ajnad Al-Sham belongs to Qatar.

Ansar Al-Sham belongs to Turkey.

Thuwar Al-Sham belongs to Saudi Arabia.

War in Syria: Staged Uprising NOT a Revolution

We know that Turkey & Israel were the largest buyers of looted ISIS oil (along with providing medical support for extremists as mentioned), whilst America was caught delivering 3,000 tons of weapons to ISIS via Croatia.

You know the "War on (of) Terror is a complete fabrication (See Ex FBI whistleblower Sibil Edmonds and Operation Gladio B) designed to placate UK Daily Mail Readers and Fix (Fox) News consumers while the European and Zionist Bankers exploit and loot natural resources of Foreign non US aligned countries. (See Rothschild’s Genie Energy and one of its subsidiary stealing Syrian Golan oil).

If your still not convinced that the Security Services have given support to Islamic terrorists here are two further pieces of evidence:

15 of the 19 Saudi Terrorist hijackers were given fast tracked US Visas via the CIA consulate in Jedda - they were being recruited by the CIA - see US Consulate whistleblower J. Michael Springmann who wrote the book "Passports for Al Qaeda."

And..

Dutch Ex Money Launderer for the top 1%, Roland Bernard, conducted an interview in April 2017 revealing that the top 1% are Jewish Zionist Satanic Banking elite: Caution, not particularly easing viewing at times. (39 min interview - #Childsacrifice)

Is the US responsible for creating ISIS?
 

Basically, yes.

America (and half of the world, to be fair - even Maoist China and isolated Australia) did fund terrorists who fought the USSR in Afghanistan, and who later took over and became the Taliban and Al Qaeda. From Al Qaeda's Syrian/Iraqi faction comes ISIS.

But I won't stop there.

America is also partially responsible for creating an environment where ISIS could survive.

We don't have the greatest track record for helping the people of the Middle East. We helped take down Muammar Gaddafi, who was without a doubt better for Libya than the current “government” there; to quote old Ben Keno

Did the U.S. really create ISIS? How?
 

The US did not deliberately create ISIS. But there would have been no ISIS but for American missteps and incompetence during the US occupation of Iraq.

Before we invaded in 2003, there were no armed islamist groups like ISIS in Iraq. Horrible as Saddam was, he had at least managed to keep a lid on them. Then we invaded, removed Saddam from power, and the Pentagon failed to issue the necessary orders for securing property. That led to widespread looting and a nearly instantaneous social breakdown in the absence of minimal security.

Then the Coalition Provisional Authority geniuses we put in charge

How was Isis made?
 

Ingredients for creating an extremist group like ISIS:

  1. Keep the government and army weak and unorganized.
  2. Blame the government for discrimination of minority group, round the clock in all of the media that you have.
  3. Unloose outside borders(in this case Iraq-Syria borders) so that anybody can pass the borders.
  4. Pay some money and weaponry to the rebellions and strengthen them.
  5. Stay outside the battlefield and take the advantages of sectarian war.

    Why is it said that ISIS has been created by the CIA?
     

    Well there are many theories which support the view that ISIS was nurtured, funded and in fact created by CIA. But possibilities are high that they did'nt know that the animal they were feeding would turn out to be a venomous snake.

    These two actions have cost them (and the rest of the world) very dearly-

    War Is a Racket is a speech and a 1935 short book by Smedley D. Butler, a retired United States Marine Corps Major General and two-time Medal of Honor recipient. Based on his career military experience, Butler discusses how business interests commercially benefit from warfare. He had been appointed commanding officer of the Gendarmerie during the 1915–1934 United States occupation of Haiti.

    After Butler retired from the US Marine Corps in October 1931, he made a nationwide tour in the early 1930s giving his speech "War Is a Racket". The speech was so well received that he wrote a longer version as a short book published in 1935. His work was condensed in Reader's Digest as a book supplement, which helped popularize his message. In an introduction to the Reader's Digest version, Lowell Thomas, who wrote Butler’s oral autobiography, praised Butler's "moral as well as physical courage".

    ALL WARS ARE BANKERS' WARS!
    by Michael Rivero
    "Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. The Bankers own the Earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create deposits, and with the flick of a pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take it away from them, and all the fortunes like mine will disappear, and they ought to disappear, for this world would be a happier and better world to live in. But if you wish to remain slaves of the Bankers and pay for the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create deposits." -- Sir Josiah Stamp, President of the Bank of England in the 1920s, the second richest man in Britain I know many people have a great deal of difficulty comprehending just how many wars are started for no other purpose than to force private central banks onto nations, so let me share a few examples, so that you understand why the US Government is mired in so many wars against so many foreign nations. There is ample precedent for this. The United States fought the American Revolution primarily over King George III's Currency act, which forced the colonists to conduct their business only using printed bank notes borrowed from the Bank of England at interest.

    In War Is a Racket, Butler points to a variety of examples, mostly from World War I, where industrialists, whose operations were subsidized by public funding, were able to generate substantial profits, making money from mass human suffering.

    The work is divided into five chapters:

    1. War is a racket
    2. Who makes the profits?
    3. Who pays the bills?
    4. How to smash this racket!
    5. To hell with war!

    It contains this summary

War is a racket. It always has been. It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives. A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small 'inside' group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many. Out of war a few people make huge fortunes.

Butler confesses that during his decades of service in the United States Marine Corps:

I helped make Mexico, especially Tampico, safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefits of Wall Street. The record of racketeering is long. I helped purify Nicaragua for the international banking house of Brown Brothers in 1909-1912 (where have I heard that name before?). I brought light to the Dominican Republic for American sugar interests in 1916. In China I helped see to it that Standard Oil went its way unmolested.

Recommendations

In the booklet's penultimate chapter, Butler recommended three steps to disrupt the war racket:

  1. Making war unprofitable. Butler suggests that the means for war should be "conscripted" before those who would fight the war:

    It can be smashed effectively only by taking the profit out of war. The only way to smash this racket is to conscript capital and industry and labour before the nation's manhood can be conscripted. […] Let the officers and the directors and the high-powered executives of our armament factories and our steel companies and our munitions makers and our ship-builders and our airplane builders and the manufacturers of all other things that provide profit in war time as well as the bankers and the speculators, be conscripted — to get $30 a month, the same wage as the lads in the trenches get.

  2. Acts of war to be decided by those who fight it. He also suggests a limited referendum to determine if the war is to be fought. Eligible to vote would be those who risk death on the front lines.
  3. Limitation of militaries to self-defense. For the United States, Butler recommends that the Navy be limited, by law, to operating within 200 miles of the coastline, and the Army restricted to the territorial limits of the country, ensuring that war, if fought, can never be one of aggression.

CHAPTER ONE

War Is A Racket

WAR is a racket. It always has been.

It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives.

A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small "inside" group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many. Out of war a few people make huge fortunes.

In the World War [I] a mere handful garnered the profits of the conflict. At least 21,000 new millionaires and billionaires were made in the United States during the World War. That many admitted their huge blood gains in their income tax returns. How many other war millionaires falsified their tax returns no one knows.

How many of these war millionaires shouldered a rifle? How many of them dug a trench? How many of them knew what it meant to go hungry in a rat-infested dug-out? How many of them spent sleepless, frightened nights, ducking shells and shrapnel and machine gun bullets? How many of them parried a bayonet thrust of an enemy? How many of them were wounded or killed in battle?

Out of war nations acquire additional territory, if they are victorious. They just take it. This newly acquired territory promptly is exploited by the few -- the selfsame few who wrung dollars out of blood in the war. The general public shoulders the bill.

And what is this bill?

This bill renders a horrible accounting. Newly placed gravestones. Mangled bodies. Shattered minds. Broken hearts and homes. Economic instability. Depression and all its attendant miseries. Back-breaking taxation for generations and generations.

For a great many years, as a soldier, I had a suspicion that war was a racket; not until I retired to civil life did I fully realize it. Now that I see the international war clouds gathering, as they are today, I must face it and speak out.

Again they are choosing sides. France and Russia met and agreed to stand side by side. Italy and Austria hurried to make a similar agreement. Poland and Germany cast sheep's eyes at each other, forgetting for the nonce [one unique occasion], their dispute over the Polish Corridor.

The assassination of King Alexander of Jugoslavia [Yugoslavia] complicated matters. Jugoslavia and Hungary, long bitter enemies, were almost at each other's throats. Italy was ready to jump in. But France was waiting. So was Czechoslovakia. All of them are looking ahead to war. Not the people -- not those who fight and pay and die -- only those who foment wars and remain safely at home to profit.

There are 40,000,000 men under arms in the world today, and our statesmen and diplomats have the temerity to say that war is not in the making.

Hell's bells! Are these 40,000,000 men being trained to be dancers?

Not in Italy, to be sure. Premier Mussolini knows what they are being trained for. He, at least, is frank enough to speak out. Only the other day, Il Duce in "International Conciliation," the publication of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, said:

"And above all, Fascism, the more it considers and observes the future and the development of humanity quite apart from political considerations of the moment, believes neither in the possibility nor the utility of perpetual peace. . . . War alone brings up to its highest tension all human energy and puts the stamp of nobility upon the people who have the courage to meet it."

Undoubtedly Mussolini means exactly what he says. His well-trained army, his great fleet of planes, and even his navy are ready for war -- anxious for it, apparently. His recent stand at the side of Hungary in the latter's dispute with Jugoslavia showed that. And the hurried mobilization of his troops on the Austrian border after the assassination of Dollfuss showed it too. There are others in Europe too whose sabre rattling presages war, sooner or later.

Herr Hitler, with his rearming Germany and his constant demands for more and more arms, is an equal if not greater menace to peace. France only recently increased the term of military service for its youth from a year to eighteen months.

Yes, all over, nations are camping in their arms. The mad dogs of Europe are on the loose. In the Orient the maneuvering is more adroit. Back in 1904, when Russia and Japan fought, we kicked out our old friends the Russians and backed Japan. Then our very generous international bankers were financing Japan. Now the trend is to poison us against the Japanese. What does the "open door" policy to China mean to us? Our trade with China is about $90,000,000 a year. Or the Philippine Islands? We have spent about $600,000,000 in the Philippines in thirty-five years and we (our bankers and industrialists and speculators) have private investments there of less than $200,000,000.

Then, to save that China trade of about $90,000,000, or to protect these private investments of less than $200,000,000 in the Philippines, we would be all stirred up to hate Japan and go to war -- a war that might well cost us tens of billions of dollars, hundreds of thousands of lives of Americans, and many more hundreds of thousands of physically maimed and mentally unbalanced men.

Of course, for this loss, there would be a compensating profit -- fortunes would be made. Millions and billions of dollars would be piled up. By a few. Munitions makers. Bankers. Ship builders. Manufacturers. Meat packers. Speculators. They would fare well.

Yes, they are getting ready for another war. Why shouldn't they? It pays high dividends.

But what does it profit the men who are killed? What does it profit their mothers and sisters, their wives and their sweethearts? What does it profit their children?

What does it profit anyone except the very few to whom war means huge profits?

Yes, and what does it profit the nation?

Take our own case. Until 1898 we didn't own a bit of territory outside the mainland of North America. At that time our national debt was a little more than $1,000,000,000. Then we became "internationally minded." We forgot, or shunted aside, the advice of the Father of our country. We forgot George Washington's warning about "entangling alliances." We went to war. We acquired outside territory. At the end of the World War period, as a direct result of our fiddling in international affairs, our national debt had jumped to over $25,000,000,000. Our total favorable trade balance during the twenty-five-year period was about $24,000,000,000. Therefore, on a purely bookkeeping basis, we ran a little behind year for year, and that foreign trade might well have been ours without the wars.

It would have been far cheaper (not to say safer) for the average American who pays the bills to stay out of foreign entanglements. For a very few this racket, like bootlegging and other underworld rackets, brings fancy profits, but the cost of operations is always transferred to the people -- who do not profit.

CHAPTER TWO

Who Makes The Profits?

The World War, rather our brief participation in it, has cost the United States some $52,000,000,000. Figure it out. That means $400 to every American man, woman, and child. And we haven't paid the debt yet. We are paying it, our children will pay it, and our children's children probably still will be paying the cost of that war.

The normal profits of a business concern in the United States are six, eight, ten, and sometimes twelve percent. But war-time profits -- ah! that is another matter -- twenty, sixty, one hundred, three hundred, and even eighteen hundred per cent -- the sky is the limit. All that traffic will bear. Uncle Sam has the money. Let's get it.

Of course, it isn't put that crudely in war time. It is dressed into speeches about patriotism, love of country, and "we must all put our shoulders to the wheel," but the profits jump and leap and skyrocket -- and are safely pocketed. Let's just take a few examples:

Take our friends the du Ponts, the powder people -- didn't one of them testify before a Senate committee recently that their powder won the war? Or saved the world for democracy? Or something? How did they do in the war? They were a patriotic corporation. Well, the average earnings of the du Ponts for the period 1910 to 1914 were $6,000,000 a year. It wasn't much, but the du Ponts managed to get along on it. Now let's look at their average yearly profit during the war years, 1914 to 1918. Fifty-eight million dollars a year profit we find! Nearly ten times that of normal times, and the profits of normal times were pretty good. An increase in profits of more than 950 per cent.

Take one of our little steel companies that patriotically shunted aside the making of rails and girders and bridges to manufacture war materials. Well, their 1910-1914 yearly earnings averaged $6,000,000. Then came the war. And, like loyal citizens, Bethlehem Steel promptly turned to munitions making. Did their profits jump -- or did they let Uncle Sam in for a bargain? Well, their 1914-1918 average was $49,000,000 a year!

Or, let's take United States Steel. The normal earnings during the five-year period prior to the war were $105,000,000 a year. Not bad. Then along came the war and up went the profits. The average yearly profit for the period 1914-1918 was $240,000,000. Not bad.

There you have some of the steel and powder earnings. Let's look at something else. A little copper, perhaps. That always does well in war times.

Anaconda, for instance. Average yearly earnings during the pre-war years 1910-1914 of $10,000,000. During the war years 1914-1918 profits leaped to $34,000,000 per year.

Or Utah Copper. Average of $5,000,000 per year during the 1910-1914 period. Jumped to an average of $21,000,000 yearly profits for the war period.

Let's group these five, with three smaller companies. The total yearly average profits of the pre-war period 1910-1914 were $137,480,000. Then along came the war. The average yearly profits for this group skyrocketed to $408,300,000.

A little increase in profits of approximately 200 per cent.

Does war pay? It paid them. But they aren't the only ones. There are still others. Let's take leather.

For the three-year period before the war the total profits of Central Leather Company were $3,500,000. That was approximately $1,167,000 a year. Well, in 1916 Central Leather returned a profit of $15,000,000, a small increase of 1,100 per cent. That's all. The General Chemical Company averaged a profit for the three years before the war of a little over $800,000 a year. Came the war, and the profits jumped to $12,000,000. a leap of 1,400 per cent.

International Nickel Company -- and you can't have a war without nickel -- showed an increase in profits from a mere average of $4,000,000 a year to $73,000,000 yearly. Not bad? An increase of more than 1,700 per cent.

American Sugar Refining Company averaged $2,000,000 a year for the three years before the war. In 1916 a profit of $6,000,000 was recorded.

Listen to Senate Document No. 259. The Sixty-Fifth Congress, reporting on corporate earnings and government revenues. Considering the profits of 122 meat packers, 153 cotton manufacturers, 299 garment makers, 49 steel plants, and 340 coal producers during the war. Profits under 25 per cent were exceptional. For instance the coal companies made between 100 per cent and 7,856 per cent on their capital stock during the war. The Chicago packers doubled and tripled their earnings.

And let us not forget the bankers who financed the great war. If anyone had the cream of the profits it was the bankers. Being partnerships rather than incorporated organizations, they do not have to report to stockholders. And their profits were as secret as they were immense. How the bankers made their millions and their billions I do not know, because those little secrets never become public -- even before a Senate investigatory body.

But here's how some of the other patriotic industrialists and speculators chiseled their way into war profits.

Take the shoe people. They like war. It brings business with abnormal profits. They made huge profits on sales abroad to our allies. Perhaps, like the munitions manufacturers and armament makers, they also sold to the enemy. For a dollar is a dollar whether it comes from Germany or from France. But they did well by Uncle Sam too. For instance, they sold Uncle Sam 35,000,000 pairs of hobnailed service shoes. There were 4,000,000 soldiers. Eight pairs, and more, to a soldier. My regiment during the war had only one pair to a soldier. Some of these shoes probably are still in existence. They were good shoes. But when the war was over Uncle Sam has a matter of 25,000,000 pairs left over. Bought -- and paid for. Profits recorded and pocketed.

There was still lots of leather left. So the leather people sold your Uncle Sam hundreds of thousands of McClellan saddles for the cavalry. But there wasn't any American cavalry overseas! Somebody had to get rid of this leather, however. Somebody had to make a profit in it -- so we had a lot of McClellan saddles. And we probably have those yet.

Also somebody had a lot of mosquito netting. They sold your Uncle Sam 20,000,000 mosquito nets for the use of the soldiers overseas. I suppose the boys were expected to put it over them as they tried to sleep in muddy trenches -- one hand scratching cooties on their backs and the other making passes at scurrying rats. Well, not one of these mosquito nets ever got to France!

Anyhow, these thoughtful manufacturers wanted to make sure that no soldier would be without his mosquito net, so 40,000,000 additional yards of mosquito netting were sold to Uncle Sam.

There were pretty good profits in mosquito netting in those days, even if there were no mosquitoes in France. I suppose, if the war had lasted just a little longer, the enterprising mosquito netting manufacturers would have sold your Uncle Sam a couple of consignments of mosquitoes to plant in France so that more mosquito netting would be in order.

Airplane and engine manufacturers felt they, too, should get their just profits out of this war. Why not? Everybody else was getting theirs. So $1,000,000,000 -- count them if you live long enough -- was spent by Uncle Sam in building airplane engines that never left the ground! Not one plane, or motor, out of the billion dollars worth ordered, ever got into a battle in France. Just the same the manufacturers made their little profit of 30, 100, or perhaps 300 per cent.

Undershirts for soldiers cost 14¢ [cents] to make and uncle Sam paid 30¢ to 40¢ each for them -- a nice little profit for the undershirt manufacturer. And the stocking manufacturer and the uniform manufacturers and the cap manufacturers and the steel helmet manufacturers -- all got theirs.

Why, when the war was over some 4,000,000 sets of equipment -- knapsacks and the things that go to fill them -- crammed warehouses on this side. Now they are being scrapped because the regulations have changed the contents. But the manufacturers collected their wartime profits on them -- and they will do it all over again the next time.

There were lots of brilliant ideas for profit making during the war.

One very versatile patriot sold Uncle Sam twelve dozen 48-inch wrenches. Oh, they were very nice wrenches. The only trouble was that there was only one nut ever made that was large enough for these wrenches. That is the one that holds the turbines at Niagara Falls. Well, after Uncle Sam had bought them and the manufacturer had pocketed the profit, the wrenches were put on freight cars and shunted all around the United States in an effort to find a use for them. When the Armistice was signed it was indeed a sad blow to the wrench manufacturer. He was just about to make some nuts to fit the wrenches. Then he planned to sell these, too, to your Uncle Sam.

Still another had the brilliant idea that colonels shouldn't ride in automobiles, nor should they even ride on horseback. One has probably seen a picture of Andy Jackson riding in a buckboard. Well, some 6,000 buckboards were sold to Uncle Sam for the use of colonels! Not one of them was used. But the buckboard manufacturer got his war profit.

The shipbuilders felt they should come in on some of it, too. They built a lot of ships that made a lot of profit. More than $3,000,000,000 worth. Some of the ships were all right. But $635,000,000 worth of them were made of wood and wouldn't float! The seams opened up -- and they sank. We paid for them, though. And somebody pocketed the profits.

It has been estimated by statisticians and economists and researchers that the war cost your Uncle Sam $52,000,000,000. Of this sum, $39,000,000,000 was expended in the actual war itself. This expenditure yielded $16,000,000,000 in profits. That is how the 21,000 billionaires and millionaires got that way. This $16,000,000,000 profits is not to be sneezed at. It is quite a tidy sum. And it went to a very few.

The Senate (Nye) committee probe of the munitions industry and its wartime profits, despite its sensational disclosures, hardly has scratched the surface.

Even so, it has had some effect. The State Department has been studying "for some time" methods of keeping out of war. The War Department suddenly decides it has a wonderful plan to spring. The Administration names a committee -- with the War and Navy Departments ably represented under the chairmanship of a Wall Street speculator -- to limit profits in war time. To what extent isn't suggested. Hmmm. Possibly the profits of 300 and 600 and 1,600 per cent of those who turned blood into gold in the World War would be limited to some smaller figure.

Apparently, however, the plan does not call for any limitation of losses -- that is, the losses of those who fight the war. As far as I have been able to ascertain there is nothing in the scheme to limit a soldier to the loss of but one eye, or one arm, or to limit his wounds to one or two or three. Or to limit the loss of life.

There is nothing in this scheme, apparently, that says not more than 12 per cent of a regiment shall be wounded in battle, or that not more than 7 per cent in a division shall be killed.

Of course, the committee cannot be bothered with such trifling matters.

 

 

CHAPTER THREE

Who Pays The Bills?

Who provides the profits -- these nice little profits of 20, 100, 300, 1,500 and 1,800 per cent? We all pay them -- in taxation. We paid the bankers their profits when we bought Liberty Bonds at $100.00 and sold them back at $84 or $86 to the bankers. These bankers collected $100 plus. It was a simple manipulation. The bankers control the security marts. It was easy for them to depress the price of these bonds. Then all of us -- the people -- got frightened and sold the bonds at $84 or $86. The bankers bought them. Then these same bankers stimulated a boom and government bonds went to par -- and above. Then the bankers collected their profits.

But the soldier pays the biggest part of the bill.

If you don't believe this, visit the American cemeteries on the battlefields abroad. Or visit any of the veteran's hospitals in the United States. On a tour of the country, in the midst of which I am at the time of this writing, I have visited eighteen government hospitals for veterans. In them are a total of about 50,000 destroyed men -- men who were the pick of the nation eighteen years ago. The very able chief surgeon at the government hospital; at Milwaukee, where there are 3,800 of the living dead, told me that mortality among veterans is three times as great as among those who stayed at home.

Boys with a normal viewpoint were taken out of the fields and offices and factories and classrooms and put into the ranks. There they were remolded; they were made over; they were made to "about face"; to regard murder as the order of the day. They were put shoulder to shoulder and, through mass psychology, they were entirely changed. We used them for a couple of years and trained them to think nothing at all of killing or of being killed.

Then, suddenly, we discharged them and told them to make another "about face" ! This time they had to do their own readjustment, sans [without] mass psychology, sans officers' aid and advice and sans nation-wide propaganda. We didn't need them any more. So we scattered them about without any "three-minute" or "Liberty Loan" speeches or parades. Many, too many, of these fine young boys are eventually destroyed, mentally, because they could not make that final "about face" alone.

In the government hospital in Marion, Indiana, 1,800 of these boys are in pens! Five hundred of them in a barracks with steel bars and wires all around outside the buildings and on the porches. These already have been mentally destroyed. These boys don't even look like human beings. Oh, the looks on their faces! Physically, they are in good shape; mentally, they are gone.

There are thousands and thousands of these cases, and more and more are coming in all the time. The tremendous excitement of the war, the sudden cutting off of that excitement -- the young boys couldn't stand it.

That's a part of the bill. So much for the dead -- they have paid their part of the war profits. So much for the mentally and physically wounded -- they are paying now their share of the war profits. But the others paid, too -- they paid with heartbreaks when they tore themselves away from their firesides and their families to don the uniform of Uncle Sam -- on which a profit had been made. They paid another part in the training camps where they were regimented and drilled while others took their jobs and their places in the lives of their communities. The paid for it in the trenches where they shot and were shot; where they were hungry for days at a time; where they slept in the mud and the cold and in the rain -- with the moans and shrieks of the dying for a horrible lullaby.

But don't forget -- the soldier paid part of the dollars and cents bill too.

Up to and including the Spanish-American War, we had a prize system, and soldiers and sailors fought for money. During the Civil War they were paid bonuses, in many instances, before they went into service. The government, or states, paid as high as $1,200 for an enlistment. In the Spanish-American War they gave prize money. When we captured any vessels, the soldiers all got their share -- at least, they were supposed to. Then it was found that we could reduce the cost of wars by taking all the prize money and keeping it, but conscripting [drafting] the soldier anyway. Then soldiers couldn't bargain for their labor, Everyone else could bargain, but the soldier couldn't.

Napoleon once said,

"All men are enamored of decorations . . . they positively hunger for them."

So by developing the Napoleonic system -- the medal business -- the government learned it could get soldiers for less money, because the boys liked to be decorated. Until the Civil War there were no medals. Then the Congressional Medal of Honor was handed out. It made enlistments easier. After the Civil War no new medals were issued until the Spanish-American War.

In the World War, we used propaganda to make the boys accept conscription. They were made to feel ashamed if they didn't join the army.

So vicious was this war propaganda that even God was brought into it. With few exceptions our clergymen joined in the clamor to kill, kill, kill. To kill the Germans. God is on our side . . . it is His will that the Germans be killed.

And in Germany, the good pastors called upon the Germans to kill the allies . . . to please the same God. That was a part of the general propaganda, built up to make people war conscious and murder conscious.

Beautiful ideals were painted for our boys who were sent out to die. This was the "war to end all wars." This was the "war to make the world safe for democracy." No one mentioned to them, as they marched away, that their going and their dying would mean huge war profits. No one told these American soldiers that they might be shot down by bullets made by their own brothers here. No one told them that the ships on which they were going to cross might be torpedoed by submarines built with United States patents. They were just told it was to be a "glorious adventure."

Thus, having stuffed patriotism down their throats, it was decided to make them help pay for the war, too. So, we gave them the large salary of $30 a month.

All they had to do for this munificent sum was to leave their dear ones behind, give up their jobs, lie in swampy trenches, eat canned willy (when they could get it) and kill and kill and kill . . . and be killed.

But wait!

Half of that wage (just a little more than a riveter in a shipyard or a laborer in a munitions factory safe at home made in a day) was promptly taken from him to support his dependents, so that they would not become a charge upon his community. Then we made him pay what amounted to accident insurance -- something the employer pays for in an enlightened state -- and that cost him $6 a month. He had less than $9 a month left.

Then, the most crowning insolence of all -- he was virtually blackjacked into paying for his own ammunition, clothing, and food by being made to buy Liberty Bonds. Most soldiers got no money at all on pay days.

We made them buy Liberty Bonds at $100 and then we bought them back -- when they came back from the war and couldn't find work -- at $84 and $86. And the soldiers bought about $2,000,000,000 worth of these bonds!

Yes, the soldier pays the greater part of the bill. His family pays too. They pay it in the same heart-break that he does. As he suffers, they suffer. At nights, as he lay in the trenches and watched shrapnel burst about him, they lay home in their beds and tossed sleeplessly -- his father, his mother, his wife, his sisters, his brothers, his sons, and his daughters.

When he returned home minus an eye, or minus a leg or with his mind broken, they suffered too -- as much as and even sometimes more than he. Yes, and they, too, contributed their dollars to the profits of the munitions makers and bankers and shipbuilders and the manufacturers and the speculators made. They, too, bought Liberty Bonds and contributed to the profit of the bankers after the Armistice in the hocus-pocus of manipulated Liberty Bond prices.

And even now the families of the wounded men and of the mentally broken and those who never were able to readjust themselves are still suffering and still paying.

 

 

CHAPTER FOUR

How To Smash This Racket!

WELL, it's a racket, all right.

A few profit -- and the many pay. But there is a way to stop it. You can't end it by disarmament conferences. You can't eliminate it by peace parleys at Geneva. Well-meaning but impractical groups can't wipe it out by resolutions. It can be smashed effectively only by taking the profit out of war.

The only way to smash this racket is to conscript capital and industry and labor before the nations manhood can be conscripted. One month before the Government can conscript the young men of the nation -- it must conscript capital and industry and labor. Let the officers and the directors and the high-powered executives of our armament factories and our munitions makers and our shipbuilders and our airplane builders and the manufacturers of all the other things that provide profit in war time as well as the bankers and the speculators, be conscripted -- to get $30 a month, the same wage as the lads in the trenches get.

Let the workers in these plants get the same wages -- all the workers, all presidents, all executives, all directors, all managers, all bankers -- yes, and all generals and all admirals and all officers and all politicians and all government office holders -- everyone in the nation be restricted to a total monthly income not to exceed that paid to the soldier in the trenches!

Let all these kings and tycoons and masters of business and all those workers in industry and all our senators and governors and majors pay half of their monthly $30 wage to their families and pay war risk insurance and buy Liberty Bonds.

Why shouldn't they?

They aren't running any risk of being killed or of having their bodies mangled or their minds shattered. They aren't sleeping in muddy trenches. They aren't hungry. The soldiers are!

Give capital and industry and labor thirty days to think it over and you will find, by that time, there will be no war. That will smash the war racket -- that and nothing else.

Maybe I am a little too optimistic. Capital still has some say. So capital won't permit the taking of the profit out of war until the people -- those who do the suffering and still pay the price -- make up their minds that those they elect to office shall do their bidding, and not that of the profiteers.

Another step necessary in this fight to smash the war racket is the limited plebiscite to determine whether a war should be declared. A plebiscite not of all the voters but merely of those who would be called upon to do the fighting and dying. There wouldn't be very much sense in having a 76-year-old president of a munitions factory or the flat-footed head of an international banking firm or the cross-eyed manager of a uniform manufacturing plant -- all of whom see visions of tremendous profits in the event of war -- voting on whether the nation should go to war or not. They never would be called upon to shoulder arms -- to sleep in a trench and to be shot. Only those who would be called upon to risk their lives for their country should have the privilege of voting to determine whether the nation should go to war.

There is ample precedent for restricting the voting to those affected. Many of our states have restrictions on those permitted to vote. In most, it is necessary to be able to read and write before you may vote. In some, you must own property. It would be a simple matter each year for the men coming of military age to register in their communities as they did in the draft during the World War and be examined physically. Those who could pass and who would therefore be called upon to bear arms in the event of war would be eligible to vote in a limited plebiscite. They should be the ones to have the power to decide -- and not a Congress few of whose members are within the age limit and fewer still of whom are in physical condition to bear arms. Only those who must suffer should have the right to vote.

A third step in this business of smashing the war racket is to make certain that our military forces are truly forces for defense only.

At each session of Congress the question of further naval appropriations comes up. The swivel-chair admirals of Washington (and there are always a lot of them) are very adroit lobbyists. And they are smart. They don't shout that "We need a lot of battleships to war on this nation or that nation." Oh no. First of all, they let it be known that America is menaced by a great naval power. Almost any day, these admirals will tell you, the great fleet of this supposed enemy will strike suddenly and annihilate 125,000,000 people. Just like that. Then they begin to cry for a larger navy. For what? To fight the enemy? Oh my, no. Oh, no. For defense purposes only.

Then, incidentally, they announce maneuvers in the Pacific. For defense. Uh, huh.

The Pacific is a great big ocean. We have a tremendous coastline on the Pacific. Will the maneuvers be off the coast, two or three hundred miles? Oh, no. The maneuvers will be two thousand, yes, perhaps even thirty-five hundred miles, off the coast.

The Japanese, a proud people, of course will be pleased beyond expression to see the united States fleet so close to Nippon's shores. Even as pleased as would be the residents of California were they to dimly discern through the morning mist, the Japanese fleet playing at war games off Los Angeles.

The ships of our navy, it can be seen, should be specifically limited, by law, to within 200 miles of our coastline. Had that been the law in 1898 the Maine would never have gone to Havana Harbor. She never would have been blown up. There would have been no war with Spain with its attendant loss of life. Two hundred miles is ample, in the opinion of experts, for defense purposes. Our nation cannot start an offensive war if its ships can't go further than 200 miles from the coastline. Planes might be permitted to go as far as 500 miles from the coast for purposes of reconnaissance. And the army should never leave the territorial limits of our nation.

To summarize: Three steps must be taken to smash the war racket.

 

  1. We must take the profit out of war.

  2. We must permit the youth of the land who would bear arms to decide whether or not there should be war.

  3. We must limit our military forces to home defense purposes.

 

 

CHAPTER FIVE

To Hell With War!

I am not a fool as to believe that war is a thing of the past. I know the people do not want war, but there is no use in saying we cannot be pushed into another war.

Looking back, Woodrow Wilson was re-elected president in 1916 on a platform that he had "kept us out of war" and on the implied promise that he would "keep us out of war." Yet, five months later he asked Congress to declare war on Germany.

In that five-month interval the people had not been asked whether they had changed their minds. The 4,000,000 young men who put on uniforms and marched or sailed away were not asked whether they wanted to go forth to suffer and die.

Then what caused our government to change its mind so suddenly?

Money.

An allied commission, it may be recalled, came over shortly before the war declaration and called on the President. The President summoned a group of advisers. The head of the commission spoke. Stripped of its diplomatic language, this is what he told the President and his group:

"There is no use kidding ourselves any longer. The cause of the allies is lost. We now owe you (American bankers, American munitions makers, American manufacturers, American speculators, American exporters) five or six billion dollars.

If we lose (and without the help of the United States we must lose) we, England, France and Italy, cannot pay back this money . . . and Germany won't.

So . . . "

Had secrecy been outlawed as far as war negotiations were concerned, and had the press been invited to be present at that conference, or had radio been available to broadcast the proceedings, America never would have entered the World War. But this conference, like all war discussions, was shrouded in utmost secrecy. When our boys were sent off to war they were told it was a "war to make the world safe for democracy" and a "war to end all wars."

Well, eighteen years after, the world has less of democracy than it had then. Besides, what business is it of ours whether Russia or Germany or England or France or Italy or Austria live under democracies or monarchies? Whether they are Fascists or Communists? Our problem is to preserve our own democracy.

And very little, if anything, has been accomplished to assure us that the World War was really the war to end all wars.

Yes, we have had disarmament conferences and limitations of arms conferences. They don't mean a thing. One has just failed; the results of another have been nullified. We send our professional soldiers and our sailors and our politicians and our diplomats to these conferences. And what happens?

The professional soldiers and sailors don't want to disarm. No admiral wants to be without a ship. No general wants to be without a command. Both mean men without jobs. They are not for disarmament. They cannot be for limitations of arms. And at all these conferences, lurking in the background but all-powerful, just the same, are the sinister agents of those who profit by war. They see to it that these conferences do not disarm or seriously limit armaments.

The chief aim of any power at any of these conferences has not been to achieve disarmament to prevent war but rather to get more armament for itself and less for any potential foe.

There is only one way to disarm with any semblance of practicability. That is for all nations to get together and scrap every ship, every gun, every rifle, every tank, every war plane. Even this, if it were possible, would not be enough.

The next war, according to experts, will be fought not with battleships, not by artillery, not with rifles and not with machine guns. It will be fought with deadly chemicals and gases.

Secretly each nation is studying and perfecting newer and ghastlier means of annihilating its foes wholesale. Yes, ships will continue to be built, for the shipbuilders must make their profits. And guns still will be manufactured and powder and rifles will be made, for the munitions makers must make their huge profits. And the soldiers, of course, must wear uniforms, for the manufacturer must make their war profits too.

But victory or defeat will be determined by the skill and ingenuity of our scientists.

If we put them to work making poison gas and more and more fiendish mechanical and explosive instruments of destruction, they will have no time for the constructive job of building greater prosperity for all peoples. By putting them to this useful job, we can all make more money out of peace than we can out of war -- even the munitions makers.

So...I say,

TO HELL WITH WAR!
