(NOTES) TESLA MOTORS AND CORRUPTION FINANCING

Be wary of reporters that write “glowing” articles about Musk and ignore these facts:
REPORT: SHILL REPORTERS WHO TAKE BRIBES FROM THE ELON MUSK PR TEAM

 

TO FIX THE SYSTEM; DO THE MATH:

## Bribes paid to politicians, including search engine rigging, shadow-bans, covert stock trades, etc;  to maintain their MONOPOLIES, and avoid regulation, paid by Musk, Google, Netflix, Facebook, YouTube, Sony Pictures = $22 Billion+

## Offshore tax evasion and money laundering by Musk, Google, Netflix, Facebook, YouTube, Sony Pictures = $2 Trillion+

## Lobbying money, including placing their own executives in control of the main government office, to control the United States Patent Office for the exclusive protection benefit of Musk, Google, Netflix, Facebook, YouTube, Sony Pictures = $42 Billion+

## Exclusive ‘favored nations’ cash and contracts from the government in exchange for bribes and stock manipulations for Musk, Google, Netflix, Facebook, YouTube, Sony Pictures = $120 Billion+

## Percentage of Congress that covertly owns the business of Musk, Google, Netflix, Facebook, YouTube, Sony Pictures = 98%

## Number of lobbyists and political manipulation operatives working for Musk, Google, Netflix, Facebook, YouTube, Sony Pictures = 520+

## Number of Cyber-Assassination services like Fusion GPS, Black Cube, The Agency, etc, working for Musk, Google, Netflix, Facebook, YouTube, Sony Pictures = 1280+

## Number of times Musk, Google, Netflix, Facebook, YouTube, Sony Pictures have violated the privacy and data rights of Americans = Hundreds of Millions of Times

## Amount of money Musk, Google, Netflix, Facebook, YouTube, Sony Pictures has cost the government/taxpayers in failed efforts and losses = $600 Million+
## Amount of money Scott has SAVED the government/taxpayers = $700 million+

Details, and proof, on the numbers, above, always available in live, televised, Congressional hearings…

Scott says that law firms willing to sue the ‘bad guys’ in jury trials, on a contingency fee basis, are always welcome to reach out and propose an arrangement!

Who has hasn’t dreamed of an electric car that can solve all of America’s energy problems, gets all of it’s fuel from clean sources INSIDE of America, is the safest car ever made, is affordable to the average person and relies on no foreign sourcing? The United States Patent Office and public records say one of Scott’s company’s did it first! …To further verify the assertion: Scott was awarded nearly a billion dollars of issued patents in commendation for his role as the seminal inventor by the United States Patent Office …Congress awarded Scott a Congressional award for his energy technology in The Iraq War Bill …AND The United States Government contracted Scott’s company to build it….. BUT then the Government officials sabotaged the whole thing, including all the patents and the rest of Scott’s funding because it was about to obsolete their insider trading car: The Tesla. The deadly, stock market pump-and-dumped, exploding, very defective: “Tesla”. Law enforcement and news investigators then informed Scott he had been defrauded by a government scam and insider crony slush-fund. Scott’s patented electric car technology solved the biggest problems with electric cars. Anybody who has ever rented an electric car for a four day trip knows that you have to spend more time charging it than you do sleeping. Nobody that lives in apartments can get one because they have no home charging. Scott’s 5 second hot swap cassettes eliminates those issues for hundreds of millions of people. Competing industries, and politicians that own Tesla, hate that reality.

… AND THEN ELON MUSK, AND POLITICIANS THAT HE BRIBES, SENT ACTUAL MEDIA HIT-MEN AFTER SCOTT BECAUSE SCOTT’S ELECTRIC CAR WAS OBSOLETING MUSK’S DEFECTIVE CAR THAT 1/3 OF CONGRESS OWNED THE STOCK IN:

THEN READ THE CHARGES AGAINST MUSK IN THESE LAWSUITS:

SpaceX employees draft open letter to company executives denouncing Elon Musk’s constant violation of the Company ‘No Asshole’ policy

‘Every Tweet that Elon sends is a de facto public statement by the company’

By Loren Grush@lorengrush

An open letter to SpaceX decrying CEO Elon Musk’s recent behavior has sparked open discussion among thecompany’s employees in an internal chat system. Employees are being encouraged to sign onto the letter’s suggestions, either publiclyor anonymously, with a signed version of the letter to be delivered to the desk of SpaceX president Gwynne Shotwell.

The letter, reviewed by The Verge, describes how Musk’s actions and the recent allegations of sexualharassment against him are negatively affecting SpaceX’s reputation. The document claims that employees “across the spectraof gender, ethnicity, seniority, and technical roles have collaborated on” writing the letter. It’s not known which SpaceXemployees wrote the letter; the employees who posted the letter in the internal chat system have not responded to requests for comment.

“Elon’s behavior in the public sphere is a frequent source of distraction and embarrassment”

“Elon’s behavior in the public sphere is a frequent source of distraction and embarrassment for us,particularly in recent weeks,” the letter states. “As our CEO and most prominent spokesperson, Elon is seen as the face of SpaceX —every Tweet that Elon sends is a de facto public statement by the company. It is critical to make clear to our teams and to ourpotential talent pool that his messaging does not reflect our work, our mission, or our values.”

Musk has been doing a lot recently, and his presence on Twitter can be particularly crass. In April, he shared an image of Bill Gates and anemoji of a pregnant man, captioned with “in case u need to lose a boner fast.” Last year, he also responded to a tweet about JeffBezos’ aerospace company Blue Origin, saying “Can’t get it up (to orbit) lol.” Musk is also currently attempting to buy Twitter.

Shared on Wednesday in an internal SpaceX Microsoft Teams channel with more than 2,600 employees, the letterargues that the company is not living up to its oft-stated “No Asshole” policy and its zero-tolerance sexual harassment policy.The document goes on to suggest three different “action items” to address the situation: SpaceX should “publicly address and condemnElon’s harmful Twitter behavior”; the company should “hold all leadership equally accountable” for bad behavior; and SpaceX needsto “clearly define what exactly is intended by SpaceX’s ‘no-asshole’ and ‘zero tolerance’ policies and enforce themconsistently.”

“Every Tweet that Elon sends is a de facto public statement by the company”

The number of signatures was not immediately available, but employees were asked to sign onto the letter byfilling out a survey or scanning a QR code. The letter generated more than a hundred comments in the Teams channel, with many employeesagreeing to the spirit of the missive, according to screenshots of the chat shared by two sources who spoke with The Verge and asked to remain anonymous. Some commenters also claimed to beembarrassed by Musk’s behavior. Others expressed a desire for the company to better address executive leadershipbehavior as well as sexual harassment complaints.

The letter comes nearly a month after a report from Insider alleged that SpaceX paid a former company flight attendant a $250,000 settlement after she accused Musk of exposing himself to her and propositioning her during a massage, an allegation thatinvolved Musk offering to buy her a horse. Musk denied the allegations, telling Insider there is “a lot more to this story.”

“If I were inclined to engage in sexual harassment, this is unlikely to be the first time in my entire30-year career that it comes to light,” he told the outlet. On Twitter, Musk joked about the story in a tweet reply: “Hi Chad, long time no see! Fine, if you touch mywiener, you can have a horse.”

After the story came out, Shotwell sent a company-wide email to SpaceX employees defending Musk. “Personally, I believe the allegations to be false; not because Iwork for Elon, but because I have worked closely with him for 20 years and never seen nor heard anything resembling theseallegations,” Shotwell wrote. “Anyone who knows Elon like I do, knows he would never conduct or condone this alleged inappropriatebehavior.”

This isn’t the first time that the topic of sexual harassment at SpaceX has surfaced. In December, a formerSpaceX employee wrote an essay on the platform Lioness detailing her experience with what she described as pervasive sexual harassment at the company. Shealso criticized SpaceX’s HR response to her complaints. The Verge spoke with four additional former SpaceX employees at the time, all of whom argued that the company’s HR department improperly handled harassment complaints. Before the story came out,Shotwell emailed the company reiterating the “No Asshole” policy.

“We also know we can always do better,” Shotwell wrote in December. “That is why HR has been solicitingfeedback from groups across the company to ensure the process is effective. HR will also conduct an internal audit, followed by athird-party audit.”

A copy of the letter can be read below:


An open letter to the Executives of SpaceX,

In light of recent allegations against our CEO and his public disparagement of the situation, we would like to deliver feedback onhow these events affect our company’s reputation, and through it, our mission. Employees across the spectra of gender, ethnicity,seniority, and technical roles have collaborated on this letter. We feel it is imperative to maintain honest and open dialogue with eachother to effectively reach our company’s primary goals together: making SpaceX a great place to work for all, and making humans amultiplanetary species.

As SpaceX employees we are expected to challenge established processes, rapidly innovate to solve complex problems as a team, anduse failures as learning opportunities. Commitment to these ideals is fundamental to our identity and is core to how we have redefined ourindustry. But for all our technical achievements, SpaceX fails to apply these principles to the promotion of diversity, equity, andinclusion with equal priority across the company, resulting in a workplace culture that remains firmly rooted in the status quo.

Individuals and groups of employees at SpaceX have spent significant effort beyond their technical scope to make the company amore inclusive space via conference recruiting, open forums, feedback to leadership, outreach, and more. However, we feel an unequal burdento carry this effort as the company has not applied appropriate urgency and resources to the problem in a manner consistent with ourapproach to critical path technical projects. To be clear: recent events are not isolated incidents; they are emblematic of a widerculture that underserves many of the people who enable SpaceX’s extraordinary accomplishments. As industry leaders, we bear uniqueresponsibility to address this.

Elon’s behavior in the public sphere is a frequent source of distraction and embarrassment for us, particularly in recent weeks.As our CEO and most prominent spokesperson, Elon is seen as the face of SpaceX—every Tweet that Elon sends is a de facto publicstatement by the company. It is critical to make clear to our teams and to our potential talent pool that his messaging does not reflectour work, our mission, or our values.

SpaceX’s current systems and culture do not live up to its stated values, as many employees continue to experience unequalenforcement of our oft-repeated “No Asshole” and “Zero Tolerance” policies. This must change. As a starting point, we areputting forth the following categories of action items, the specifics of which we would like to discuss in person with the executive teamwithin a month:

Publicly address and condemn Elon’s harmful Twitter behavior. SpaceX must swiftly and explicitly separate itself from Elon’s personal brand.

Hold all leadership equally accountable to making SpaceX a great place to work for everyone. Apply a critical eye to issues that prevent employees from fully performing their jobs andmeeting their potential, pursuing specific and enduring actions that are well resourced, transparent, and treated with the same rigor andurgency as establishing flight rationale after a hardware anomaly.

Define and uniformly respond to all forms of unacceptable behavior. Clearly define what exactly is intended by SpaceX’s “no-asshole” and “zero tolerance” policies andenforce them consistently. SpaceX must establish safe avenues for reporting and uphold clear repercussions for all unacceptablebehavior, whether from the CEO or an employee starting their first day.

 

Elon Musk’s Electric Car Batteries Made By Forced Labor Overseas

Increasing ties have been found between the origin of the batteries needed to power the technology and forced labor in Chinese work camps.

Electric car batteries tied to forced labor in China: report
Jarryd Jaeger Vancouver, BC
As many environmentalists push for a quick transition to electric vehicles and clean energy, increasing ties have been found between the origin of the batteries needed to power the technology and forced labor in Chinese work camps.
One province in particular, Xinjiang, is facing mounting criticism as more details emerge surrounding working conditions for members of the Uyghur Muslim minority.According to the New York Times, while China produces 75 percent of the world’s lithium ion batteries, much of the raw material is mined elsewhere. In recent years, however, the Chinese government has set their sights on controlling all aspects of the supply chain.
In order to compete with other countries, China has ramped up production in the western province of Xinjiang, home to the nation’s Uyghur Muslim minority. 
As the Times reports, companies such as Xinjiang Nonferrous Metal Industry Group have partnered with the Chinese government to move  hundreds of Uyghurs from the south to the industrialized north where they are put to work in mines, smelters, and factories producing lithium, nickel, manganese, beryllium, copper and gold.
While such companies deny that their workers are mistreated, reports show that Uyghurs are subject to what could easily be deemed to be forced labor. 
Uyghurs who refuse to work in accordance with Chinese government policies are often sent to internment camps, and in May it was revealed that many of those camps have a “shoot-to-kill” policy for those who attempt to escape.
Thus, the official claim that “all employment is voluntary” is not supported.

In addition to forced labor, Uyghurs are also subjected to re-education, wherein government-appointed “teachers” attempt to create loyal subjects to the nation and communist regime.

On June 21, a new law will go into effect in the United States called the “Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act.” As NPR reports, it gives the US authority to seize goods produced in Xinjiang unless companies can prove they did not engage in forced labor practices.
Environmental realist, author, and California gubernatorial candidate Michael Shellenberger is one of many calling on the Biden administration to go one step further and ban the importation of all goods from Xinjiang. He says the US should instead focus on manufacturing green technology at home. 
As he points out, however, the decision would face pushback from both Democrats “who don’t want to slow the deployment of solar panels and electric cars in the US,” and “free market Republicans.” 
The world has shone a spotlight on the Chinese government’s treatment of the Uyghurs in Xinjiang, but it remains to be seen whether the Communist Party and the companies to which it is so closely tied will change their practices.

These are the steps that the The Public must demand in order to strengthen public integrity by eliminating corrupt financial conflicts in Congress. These “Big Tech Gorilla” abusers steal technology because they can steal technology. They buy politicians, lobbyists and shill reporters to help them get away with it.

Congress must be ordered, by the voters, to eliminate both the appearance and the potential for financial conflicts of interest. Americans must be confident that actions taken by public officials are intended to serve the public, and not those officials. These actions counter-act the corrupt actions taken by tech oligarchs officials in illicit coordination with U.S. Senators.

Small business has experienced all of the damages from each of the abuse-of-power issues listed below. Your public officials are being paid BRIBES through their family stock market holdings. We asked every office of Congress what the worst of the problems are and this is what they told us, below.

CUT THEM OFF – Demand that Congress make it a felony for any politician, judge or regulator to own stocks, or to let their family own stocks. If they want to get rich, they can go into another line of work.

If the public can get these laws made, it will end 90% of American corruption. Politicians won’t allow these laws to be made because it will cut off their corruption. Thus: You have to force the politicians to make these laws and leverage them with investigations and recall elections.

These are the actions needed to resolve this corruption:

  • Ban individual stock ownership by Members of Congress, Cabinet Secretaries, senior congressional staff, federal judges, White House staff and other senior agency officials while in office. Prohibit all government officials from holding or trading stock where its value might be influenced by their agency, department, or actions.
  • Apply conflict of interest laws to the President and Vice President through the Presidential Conflicts of Interest Act, which would require the President and the Vice President to place conflicted assets, including businesses, into a blind trust to be sold off
  • Require senior Department of Energy government officials, employees, contractors and White House staff to divest from privately-owned assets that could present conflicts, including large companies like Tesla, Google, Facebook, Sony, Netflix, etc., and commercial real estate.

(PORTFOLIO) Scott Was First In Social Networks…Before Google, Facebook, Yahoo, MySpace, Et al …

Scott designed, engineered, built, ran on the internet, patented and delivered the exact thing that Google and Facebook, later, COPIED to make their companies… It is a “big deal” because they took billions of dollars out of Scott’s pocket.

 

California Secretary of State and other government records show that Scott’s social network, which Zuckerberg and Yahoo copied verbatim, was up and running on March 1, 1987. – FOUNDER: “TECHMATE” AND “UNIFREE” – THE FIRST WEB SOCIAL MEDIA NETWORKS.

Facebook, Yahoo, Google and other, later, social networks have spent millions of dollars to blockade Scott from getting a jury trial against them for tort-based interference, RICO, infringment, theft and other causes of action. They even went so far as to have big lawyers come to Scott and offer “to help him with his patent prodecutions”, when, in fact, those lawyers, covertly were actually working for Google and Facebook. Google even paid to get Google’s own lawyer made the boss of the U.S. Patent Office and Facebook paid to put Facebook’s lawyer on the United States Patent Office Board… Bribery and Conflict-of-Interest Quid-Pro-Quo?  … Looks like it!

It turned out that Scott’s own Senator’s, Congress-people and Governor OWN Facebook and Google!!!! This helped create THE AMERICAN STOCK ACT, now moving through Congress.

Scott Douglas Redmond delivered some of the first online digital social network companies before Facebook, Google, MySpace and other 2nd generation social networks even existed as companies. The U.S. Patent office ruled that he had produced social media e-commerce decades before Mark Zuckerberg or Yahoo engineers had. State, Federal, City and County filings prove Scott’s social media companies were first-on-the-web. Emails, contracts and NDA’s further verify that fact.

 

 

 

LARRY PAGE AND ERIC SCHMIDT COPIED THIS TECHNOLOGY TO FORM GOOGLE.

MARK ZUCKERBERG COPIED THIS TECHNOLOGY TO FORM FACEBOOK.

THE U.S. PATENT OFFICE RULED THAT SCOTT DID IT FIRST BUT FACEBOOK AND GOOGLE SPENT TENS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS ON LAWYERS TO BLOCKADES SCOTT’S IP.

 

 

 

(PORTFOLIO) Scott Was First In Web Video-On-Demand…Before Amazon, Netflix, Hulu, Sony Vue, Youtube, Et al…

SCOTT WAS FIRST
Before Amazon, Netflix, Hulu, Sony Vue, Youtube, Et al…

The TV documentary broadcast by “SILICON VALLEY BUSINESS”, nationwide, proves that Scott was first to design, patent, build and broadcast before YouTube, Hulu, Vudu, Netflix Streaming, Sony VUE, Napster, Bittorrent or Kontiki existed, Scott had already delivered Clickmovie.com. Clickmovie did everything that those later competitors did before any of them even existed. Scott Douglas Redmond received multiple US patents confirming him as first-to-invent and deliver web video-on-demand. It is a “big deal” because they took billions of dollars out of Scott’s pocket by spying on his company and copying his technology and business model.

Scott Douglas Redmond designed, built and patented some of the first video-on-demand hardware devices. He was the first person to present internet video-on-demand to a full Sony Pictures international Board Meeting and his work-group is featured in Sony Pictures patent filings. Scott’s patent filings and NDA’s show that he designed, engineered, patent filed and produced the touch-screen, MP3 cell phone before Steve Jobs and Apple did and before any internal communications at Apple discuss the “iPhone”.

 

 

The patent office has credited Scott as the first to invent chunks/torrents/bits as a web media broadcast method. Scott Douglas Redmond designed, built and patented some of the first video-on-demand hardware devices. Scott Douglas Redmond designed, built and patented some of the first video-on-demand hardware devices.

 

Facebook, Yahoo, Google, Netflix, Amazon and other, later, web TV networks have spent millions of dollars to blockade Scott from getting a jury trial against them for tort-based interference, RICO, infringment, theft and other causes of action. They even went so far as to have big lawyers come to Scott and offer “to help him with his patent prodecutions”, when, in fact, those lawyers, covertly were actually working for Google and Facebook.

It turned out that Scott’s own Senator’s, Congress-people and Governor OWN Facebook, Netflix (White House Staff work there), Hulu  and Google!!!! This helped create THE AMERICAN STOCK ACT, now moving through Congress.

Everytime Scott and his investors sue the copy-cats, they throw millions of dollars of lawyers out to blockade the cases and never allow Scott to get to Jury Trial. The other’s did not just have the same idea, they came in and signed secrecy agreements, contracts and emailed about not being able to figure the technology out on their own. Then they just swiped the staff, the code, the architecture and made billions by ripping off the inventor. Google’s Larry Page had the job of stealing other people’s technology.  The Sony Pictures head of Marketing emailed Scott that he “did not even know how to work a computer“, then he put his name on a copy of Scott’s patent and filed it as his own after Scott presented, under NDA, to the entire Sony Board and worked with Sony under contract.

The Korean hack of all of Sony Pictures files proved them to be a pack of liars. At Netflix corporate headquarters, the heads of Netflix told Scott that “It was just easier to mail out DVD’s than to deal with all of that server stuff…” and that they ” really only see streaming as a fringe service for a few nerds..” The San Francisco FBI is now investigating Netflix bosses for various frauds and schemes.

At this meeting TSBN demonstrated hardware, IP set-up box, portable PDA, software and architecture, under NDA, for an entire VOD internet, cable and satellite IP based digital media technology, all of which Sony is using today. In the building we met Mark Gray, one of the names on the patent and a future advocate of the “Passage”” product from Sony:

* Feb. 16, 2000 – Ira Rubenstein, The Supposed “INVENTOR” on Sony’s patent sends another email advising that he is incapable of using computers. One must ask, If Ira is so technologically challenged, how could he have invented one of the leading internet technologies?

* March 1, 2003 – Cable & Satellite International publishes article on Sony “Passage”” product. “Rite of Passage: Sony Lays Down Cable’s Future” – “Question: When is MPEG not MPEG? Answer: When it is an encryption technology and not just a compression tool.
This distinction is at the heart of Sony’s new Passage cable network system. Some are calling this the “Holy Grail” of the cable world.a pretty strong characterization, but one that may well be true. By leveraging MPEG not just for compression but also for encryption, Sony aims to revolutionize the cable industry, something that is desperately needed.Passage will allow cable operators to offer new services, including video-on-demand (VOD), without having to do a “fork-lift” upgrade of their systems. Rather, Passage works right alongside their existing cable network protocols to offer new services while still delivering the same services to existing set-top boxes (STBs). In the past, all cable networks were essentially one of two proprietary systems.Motorola or Scientific Atlanta. Unfortunately, those companies weren’t opening up to new and alternative services fast enough, nor were prices dropping without competition. For example, although TiVo-style PVRs have been around for several years and available from the satellite companies for even longer, cable only this year got a PVR for its networks, and even that was rather plain-Jane. The cable industry tried to respond with their OpenCable initiative, but this was a “vanilla” offering based in part on a combination of these two proprietary solutions with some badly needed enhancements…”

(Culver City, CA).. almost all of whom were either in the TSBN presentation in January 1999 or had staff in the room. The patent was filed April 6, 2001 using technology and teachings Scott provided to Sony under NDA!

* On November 24, 2014, a hacker group identifying itself as “Guardians of Peace” leaked a release of confidential data from the film studio Sony Pictures. The data included personal information about Sony Pictures employees and their families, emails between employees, information about executive salaries at the company, copies of then-unreleased Sony films, plans for future Sony films, scripts for certain films, and other information.[1] The perpetrators then employed a variant of the Shamoon wiper malware to erase Sony’s computer infrastructure.[2]. The dumped data proves that Sony was a lying pack of theiving scumbags. The entire file set is still held, by multiple third parties, from mobsters to government agencies; and could pop-up, when needed, in any big trial or 60 Minutes-type investigation.
