Lobbying Scandal May Prompt Reform
The Post reports that in the wake of the scandal surrounding Republican lobbyist Jack Abramoff, Congress may be looking to tighten up the ship by enacting tougher laws on lobbyists' access to lawmakers. Readers wonder whether all the noise will produce real regulations, or simply a round of outrage followed by feckless policies.
TRCAVE isn't convinced that the long-running Abramoff scandal will bring real change to the way Congress does business. After quoting House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert's (R-Ill.) statements that the time for reform is at hand, TRCAve asks incredulously, "Now is the time for action? NOW is the time for action?" He wonders where Congress has been all these months.
The path to lobbying reform is simple, writes kennyrct. "There should be only one rule, and that rule in respect to lobbyists and congressional members should be the rule of total transparency and total accountability. Anything less invites more corruption and more collusion!"
Nortalian doubts that reform will solve the myriad problems created by money as the access point to American politics. He complains that lobbyists are, "...like snakes; close one hole and they will find or make another one. That is how they got this obnoxious Medicare Part D program -- the lobbying by the pharmaceuticals, etc."
But lobbying is a natural and necessary part of government, adds Truth Dr. "Lobbyists do provide a service in that they do give the impacts of legislation on various groups within the nation."

It is a compliment to be nominated for a federal judgeship. I congratulate Mr. Hillman with this nomination, just as most other Americans would. Odds are Mr. Hillman was deserving of this offer to be promoted long ago so it would be wrong for anyone to fault him for accepting it when approved. Of course he will be approved! The culprits that want Mr. Hillman gone from his current post have majority vote and will approve him!
The timing of the nomination is an insult to Mr. Hillman. Mr. Hillman is leading a federal corruption probe that involves the Executive Branch. This is already known with examples such as David Safavian's (headed Federal Procurement Policy in OMB where he established all federal procurement policy) arrest. A nomination for a federal judgeship when the investigation is far from complete but very much embroiled, is the same as the Bush Administration offering Mr. Hillman a bribe to leave his post and take what he knows with him!
It is said, "The cover-up is always worse than the original crime." Added to the cover-up is now that the Bush Administration is bribing Mr. Hillman in exchange for his silence! Most people would interpret the Executive Branch's lucrative offer that buys Mr. Hillman's silence to be an admission of guilt! There can be no question with this recent attempt to bribe Mr. Hillman, President Bush wants to be impeached and confined to a jail cell!
If on Monday Alberto Gonzales hasn't relinquished control of the federal investigation to Special Counsel, on Tuesday I will begin to release damning information as to what Mr. Gonzales is covering-up as it relates to my employer. Everyday Mr. Gonzales delays--behaving as a partner-in-crime instead of an Attorney General, will be another day I release more incriminating information that can easily be confirmed in news archives and/or currently at websites. I have more than four years of experiences related to federal corruption to share! By a week from Monday, I promise to be naming names! These are names that haven't yet been released to the press involving the Executive Branch and there are many! Furthermore, there is a major news station fifteen minutes from my home. Mr. Gonzales can expect I will pay them a visit in the near future if he continues to stonewall the turning-over the federal corruption probe to Special Counsel! It is safe to assume that if Mr. Hillman doesn't accept the nomination, the Bush Administration will instead have him fired! No one could expect Mr. Hillman to take this risk, so Special Counsel should takeover the federal corruption probe.
It has been made public the federal corruption probe began nearly two years ago. Mr. Gonzales rose to his post approximately a year-ago. Long ago, when the public wasn't aware of the investigation ongoing behind closed doors, Mr. Gonzales should have relinquished control of the federal corruption investigation without anyone having to ask. Mr. Gonzales' refusal to have Special Counsel take over is a strong sign of dishonesty. Dishonesty is exactly what no American wants of their US Attorney General! If Mr. Gonzales wants to fall with the rest of the crooks and traitors, this is his choice! He lives in a Democracy where most choices are his own and if he doesn't like the consequences of his choices, he has only himself to blame!
Americans "don't know me from Adam! Americans did not vest in me their trust to keep my employer's platform (it was my money that sustained the company US based for years rather than to accept the free money offered by foreign governments) from US enemy control! Americans did vest their trust in the officials they elected to office. Implicitly stated in that trust, was elected officials would appoint to office officials who would also "do right by" every American! Americans expected elected and appointed officials to adopt effective cutting-edge homeland defense technologies and keep these US inventions from US enemy control. Since November of 2004 I have labeled Americans freeloaders, because of the pathetic choices they made at the election polls that made me likely the largest "doormat" in all of history!
At the time of the 2001 attacks, my employer was working on a launch in the DACH. There was no US staff! As a Good Samaritan I wrote to federal officials to make them aware of my employer's platform. I volunteered in those letters I was an angel investor in a market invasion of new technology on the DACH. I was trying to give the company's ideas to the US federal government so management could stay focused on the DACH [geographical] market. Next thing I knew from the replies I received, I was founding a US launch when I hadn't experience in the job at hand. As I have learned well, experience is of no value! I have read Federal Acquisition Regulation and no one follows any of those rules! The only thing I needed was to be wealthier so I could outbid companies wanting to supply ancient technology to the US federal government.

I PROMISED NAMES...
Washington Post readers might have noticed Tom DeLay bought his Judicial subcommittee slot by bribing a majority of subcommittee members via his PAC making campaign contributions to subcommittee members, immediately before their vote to appoint him to the subcommittee. Nothing has changed! Tom DeLay's relationship to Jack Abramoff is well-documented, as well as the questionable origin of the money DeLay's PAC collected. There can be no greater proof the giving away or returning of Abramoff and Abramoff clients' campaign contributions was just bells and whistles, when money equally as shady of DeLay origin is accepted and then DeLay appointed to the judiciary subcommittee that is "supposed to be" investigating DeLay's corruption!
Federal officials had me--a tapped-out angel investor found a U.S. launch of what National Institute of Standards and Technology calls a "smart wallet" in early 2002. In January of 2005 Tom Ridge made speeches encouraging his successor to follow in his footsteps and create a national civilian DNA database. Newspapers such as The Boston Globe covered the speeches. Ridge's speeches weren't popular with his audiences. The Boston Globe reported Department of Homeland Security officials in order to calm Ridge's audiences stated the Department was in deep divide whether to continue releasing the privacy-invading biometric technologies the public already knows about, or to adopt a completely different platform not yet in the market that can't possibly lead to DNA-round-ups. The latter is the smart wallet inventor's platform and Department of Homeland Security officials were not forthcoming in telling The Boston Globe that the smart wallet inventor decided two months before to break the Buy American Laws made U.S. Law by members of Congress, because members of Congress behind closed doors demanded the company's worldwide failure. The breaking of the Buy American laws was disqualifying the smart wallet inventor from being a Department of Homeland Security supplier, so Department of Homeland Security officials were less than forthcoming, when they failed to tell The Boston Globe the platform that can't possibly lead to DNA round-ups would not be available to any American!
I had enough money in savings I never had to work another day if I didn't want to, leading up to the 2001 attacks on the U.S. I didn't have to stick my neck out for the U.S. I did, and it was decapitated by federal corruption. I promised January 29, 2006 I would begin naming names within days and didn't.
Alberto Gonzales has been granted ample time since my threat, to honor his oath. Attorney General Gonzales was sworn into office February 5, 2005. Inherent in his oath was when an investigation could pose a conflict of interest since he is a political appointee, he would relinquish its control to Special Counsel. Already when Gonzales was sworn in, the federal corruption probe was nearly a year old! Gonzales has broken the terms of his oath for more than a year since inheriting the federal corruption probe! The Cunningham investigation was assigned to Special Counsel last December. It is well-documented in newspapers nationwide Congressmen Cunningham, Ney and DeLay flew on the same private corporate jets, participated in the same lobby-sponsored trips, attended the same lobbyist-sponsored events (parties) and as a whole, associated with the same lobbyists. IN SUMMARY, THE SAME COMPANIES/LOBBYISTS BRIBING REPRESENTATIVE CUNNINGHAM BRIBED CONGRESSMEN DELAY AND NEY! IT SO HAPPENS MANY OF THOSE COMPANIES ARE APART OF A COALITION OR THE COALITION'S SUPPLIERS FOR THE U.S.' IDENTIFICATION CREDENTIALING PROGRAMS RIGHT NOW! Alberto Gonzales is extending special favor to Tom DeLay. It would be an insult to every Washington Post reader to claim otherwise when it is well-documented the beneficiaries of DeLay's official acts were the same as in the case of Congressman Cunningham.
The companies declining the lucrative funding arrangements from quasi-enemies are run by staff that made one sacrifice after another to their personal lives to do right by every American while their elected officials stabbed every American in the back...wasting their tax payer dollars and adopting technologies that do nothing but make the U.S. less secure! There is nothing of my former life left! It was a life of privilege...the kind of life members of Congress want to live and it all robbed of me, because of their corruption. For every sacrifice I made I am going to now reveal to the Washington Post's readers a new name! Today I am giving the first of three names on a very long, long list of Bush nominees, approved by Congress that Attorney General Gonzales likely is trying to protect...
The revealing of this name is in exchange for the furnace that broke last Tuesday I am now incapable of affording to have repaired! I live in New York and if there is any time of the year when someone can't go without heat/a furnace, it is when New York just had the greatest snowfall in one day in all of recorded history as happened yesterday! I am writing this blog in the cold!
Name 1) Christopher Cox: Christopher Cox is the former House Homeland Security Appropriations Committee Chairman. In an October 1, 2003 Homeland Security hearing transcript covering identity theft, there is an exchange between DeLay and Cox where Cox asks DeLay about "the wallet.' I never sent documentation to either Congressman, but the one sentence proves they were fully aware of the smart wallet's existence! Furthermore, there is the issue of my being solicited for money. The smart wallet inventor is a Colorado-based company. At no time during the company's history did my Long Island address attached to an unpublished telephone number appear at the company's website! My name and company email address appeared briefly in 2002 but was removed for personal security reasons in 2003. In the spring of 2003 Christopher Cox from Irvine, CA, solicited me AT MY LONG ISLAND HOME for a campaign contribution for his 2004 re-election campaign. His staff had to dig very hard to learn I was the person sustaining the smart wallet inventor as a U.S.-based company then research my home address to demand a bribe. In that I had made no contact whatsoever (phone, mail or email) with Christopher Cox's offices beforehand, there can be no question the solicitation was a demand I either pay-up or the smart wallet would be removed from consideration in federal identification credentialing programs!
Why would I give to Christopher Cox when the Russian federal government for one and one-half years offered a 100 % financing package, nice homes...and offered to erase all the company's troubles in the U.S.? Abramoff had Russian oil execs as clients. The Russian economy is energy-based and oil output nearly its sole commodity. Any Russian oil exec still alive by the turn of millennium survived because they joined the mob. Any oil exec refusing to join the mob was killed! In that organized crime is being funded first and foremost legitimately in Russia with oil money, it can be safe to assume that the money the Russians offered the smart wallet inventor was made from energy revenues. The mob is known for its leg lifting like a male dog! Once you are marked, you are marked for life! The smart wallet inventor did not tell the Russians of the obstacles we ran into in the U.S., yet they knew we had run into them. It easily can be assumed the Russians were the source of those problems since they knew what we hadn't disclosed to them! Furthermore, their offer included the covering of the money we would need to erase the obstacles...the money we needed to earmark for campaign contributions so we could buy official acts!
When Christopher Cox's office dug hard to learn I was the person sustaining the smart wallet inventor as a U.S.-based company and researched to learn MY HOME address clear-across the U.S. from his District (since when do we give to politicians we can't vote for?) and the smart wallet inventor's headquarters, his staff simultaneously would have learned the smart wallet inventor was declining a 100+ % funding offer from the Russians, also known as "the mob."
The reason why Cox's staff would have no ethical issues with this is because he and DeLay will perform any trick for a fee! Nancy Pelosi has stated the Republican leadership makes all of Congress look like politicians for hire. She's too kind! The best word to describe the scandal is "whores!" DOJ investigators already leaked DeLay had a Russian Energy policy. Since it was Russian Energy with the money to write-out a check for any amount to gain control of the U.S.' cutting edge homeland defense companies and DeLay had a Russian energy policy which is a foreign energy policy that increases Americans' dependence on foreign energy, it is safe to assume DeLay had other Russian policies, too! The Russian offer lingered from December of 2001 until July of 2003 when the person representing the Russians finally had to disappear. At the same time during his last two visits to the smart wallet inventor CEO's residence he stated he would have to disappear, he was still trying to convince the smart wallet inventor to move the company to Russia. As the government official handling that he couldn't have disappeared, but instead would have gotten high visibility! Hence, we know his disappearance was related to our holding firm on remaining a U.S. company.
Cox was desperate to have his Homeland Security Appropriations Committee made permanent. If he did not adhere to DeLay's agenda, DeLay had the power to block it! It is unfortunate that our current SEC Chairman had to adopt DeLay's agenda to sleep with the Russian mob!
For those of you who heard last June 1 some of the news reports where people interviewed said "Cox had to move, and it was nice of Mr. Donaldson to give-up his post," you now have the explanation why! News stations like Fox News were trying to get to the bottom of why Cox had to move and weren't having their questions answered.
The ACLU is based in New York City; it's local to my home. Cox jumped ship as I was about to approach the ACLU over what was done to the biometric identification credentialing technology most respecting of Americans' liberties and freedoms. Then I made "noise" with various people in Congress that Cox hadn't been approved and took office at the SEC while Congress was on summer break. Eventually the approval was backdated in July with the appropriate Senate committee.
Cox was sworn into the SEC Chairman post August 3, 2005. Shouldn't the Wall Street Journal have known and reported this on August 4, 2005 or in fact before it was to happen and reported it August 3rd? The silent swearing in was in response to what I promised to do to Cox with the ACLU if he didn't get his sorry a*s out of the Chairman of the House Homeland Security Appropriations Committee post! Follow this timeline: Bush nominated Cox for the SEC Chair post June 1. In mid July Cox was still Chairman of the House Homeland Security Appropriations Committee. In hearing transcripts he was promising to do all kinds of things to the TSA's identification credentialing programs including Registered Traveler by the federal government's fiscal year end. Year end is September 30th! Christopher Cox, newly re-elected eight months prior, was trying to hold onto his House post and not go to the SEC so he could continue to fix the federal identification credentialing programs to benefit his campaign contributors and Jack Abramoff and William Buckham's (S. Korean Business Council) clients.
As for the moving Cox to the SEC...even if the smart wallet inventor is repatriated to the U.S., it will not be able to go IPO (Initial Public Offering) until Christopher Cox has completed his five year term or resigned. He belongs in jail! He already has proven over a many year period he will go to great lengths to force the smart wallet inventor into insolvency. Management will not risk Cox finishes what he started while in the House by honoring the strings attached to campaign contributions, where Cox in his SEC post might fabricate charges against us. The moving Cox to the SEC was deliberate and conniving! Bush's making Cox SEC Chairman made it impossible for the smart wallet inventor to become repatriated [to the U.S.] by having a tendering of shares.
The SEC Chairman has unfettered control of the SEC. If the Chairman adopts an agenda, whether legitimate or fabricated, any staff member refusing to follow the agenda would be fired. Cox's actions last July proved he would hold onto his House post as long as he could! Since he did not want to vacate his House post, the smart wallet company's management also anticipates Cox will abuse his power as SEC Chair to seek revenge for the smart wallet inventor being the reason Cox most had to leave the post he loved so much in the House. If the smart wallet is adopted, it would only be right Americans have an opportunity to become shareholders (owners) in the technology they are to use. However, this will not be possible until Christopher Cox isn't in a position where he can carryout a personal vendetta against founding management. If the justice system worked in this country, Cox would have been indicted long ago!
In this game of cat and mouse, Dawn Cat next pounces on her own Congressman, Pete King. He is name # 2! The exposing his corruption is in return for the loss of my Indian Creek Country Club (Miami, FL) membership and bond. I put at least $ 30,000 toward that bond when I had to take a leave of absence from the club for the 2003 fiscal year. Club by-laws required me to reinstate membership by this past December 31, or forfeit all the money I put forth and have to buy a new bond if I sought to go through the initiation process all over again to rejoin.
Pete King's office was sent an introduction to the smart wallet technology January 16, 2002 via special delivery US Postal Service. I made and sent plenty of follow-up phone calls and emails. Not until August of 2004 did I finally hear from someone in his office. His homeland defense issues staff member is named Kevin. I told Kevin of the smart wallet inventor's plight and how it was to become ex-patriot. I reminded Kevin King was on a small business subcommittee and House finance committee and stated there was no excuse that the U.S. would not do for its own what other governments offered to do. I told Kevin the refusal to fund the smart wallet inventor was proof the U.S. wasn't serious about the combating of terrorism and already proved it would give to U.S. enemies its best defenses against terrorist, organized and ordinary crime. Kevin was told the smart wallet was to accept a German offer if Kevin didn't rise to the occasion and have King introduce legislation that would enable commercial tech innovators to secure government funding. Kevin was clear he was fine with the smart wallet inventor becoming German and did not care this would break the Buy American Laws and deny all Americans our platform. In summary, Kevin wanted the smart wallet inventor to become headquartered in Germany!
Legitimate offers don't linger like illegitimate ones do! The German offer disappeared while other foreign offers became available and that how the smart wallet inventor found its way to France. I continued to call and email and no one from King's office would reply until Kevin finally replied last July to an email sent one and one-half weeks before. Early in the conversation Kevin told me he had 17 more callbacks to make. In summary, Kevin made me aware what I had to say wasn't important and that I was just a number! However, when I told Kevin one thing after another that appeared in the press related to the smart wallet without the mentioning our name in the press because the smart wallet is classified, then told I was going public over Christopher Cox if he did not vacate the House Homeland Security Appropriations Committee Chairman post and stop fixing identification credentialing programs, and finally told Kevin how the company was being run from my home in Pete King's District, Kevin rushed me off the phone. Two months later Pete King was overwhelmingly ratified to replace Christopher Cox. It would be an understatement to claim King wasn't favored for the post! No one considered him even in the running! No sound explanation has been given as to what made King qualified for the post.
I have talked with several government contractors who think as I do: Kevin abused the information I gave him in a power play move to secure King the Chairman of the House Homeland Security Appropriations Committee post. King rode on my reputation! My village is partially in King's district, but not listed at his website. King's staff and he do not know part of my village's residents, are King's constituents! Districting says King is my Congressman, but residents in my village in the Third District of New York haven't representation! King's office denies they represent us, so for certain...King should never have been given any credit for having me and the firm I am running from my home within his District!
(Microsoft was founded in a garage. I don't have a garage. Unfunded companies can't afford office space. Hope it's not too much of a shock to readers that the smart wallet company has been run until establishing offices in France, from people's homes. The last formal venture capital investment the U.S. federal government made was in Microsoft in 1980 so it could move from a garage to proper offices.)
For the record, Pete King began making himself my enemy in January of 2002! The blood is bad, and since the launch in the U.S. was not just about money...neither the CEO or I will have anything to do with a House Homeland Security Appropriations Committee headed by Pete King! Appropriations committees control the Department of Homeland Security's purse strings, and we're not taking orders from people that spent years stabbing us in the back!
Pete King is in office, because the Democrat alternative wasn't a realistic choice! Pete King's opponent was anti-Afghanistan, anti-Iraq, wanted to dismantle the Department of Homeland Security, was pro-gay marriage, etc. He made the most liberal of Democrats appear conservative!
Whereas many members of Congress hold routine meetings to talk to their constituents, Pete King is not one of them! Since King wants no contact with his constituents to learn their opinions, his constituents' views aren't considered every time he casts votes. If King isn't using his constituents' opinions to guide him, then his votes in Congress are cast according to what special interests want of him. In that it is 14 ½ months since the public learned as an explanation Tom Ridge resigned because he hadn't funded the next-generation technologies and two Department of Homeland Security Appropriations bills passed since, as well as King is in office nearly six months and still he hasn't made funding available to 21st century technologies, King is amidst the brood in Congress bribed by lobbyists and in their campaign coffers to deny funding to these companies so their solutions become controlled by U.S. enemies. It's time King is indicted!
I was 34 at the time of the 2001 attacks. Now I am 39. I always intended to marry and have kids. My physical appearance pretty much made sure the dating thing would never be a problem. However, I never envisioned I would lose all privacy as I have and this loss of privacy "wig-out" boyfriends. Americans don't know who I am, but in a nutshell, there is little I do that isn't monitored by the Department of Homeland Security! I won't reveal what I look like, because it appears Pete King is in the Homeland Security Appropriations Committee post as though he is my buddy. His staff could read this...I wouldn't want to tip them off to actually get it right if someone asked what I look like to see whether King actually knows anything about me. At age 32 I had a bad feeling something big would get in the way of dating, so I made a pact I would adopt children by age 37 if something came up that stood in the way of my being able to date. Of course, dating leads to marriage. If you don't date, marriage is pretty much not a possibility. At age 37 I could no longer afford to adopt children and guarantee them a happy existence. Too much of my money was tied-up in the smart wallet inventor trying to keep it U.S.-based and out of U.S. enemy control!
This third name being revealed today is because of the sacrifice that I won't have children because of Asa Hutchinson's partaking in crime. Asa Hutchinson is # 3 today on the long, long list! Many material things I lost can be replaced...for a fee. However, a woman's biological clock can't be turned back! Asa Hutchinson's name is being revealed in return for the making sure I wake-up every single day remembering I haven't children to look after and to get off to school because the U.S. is lead by the most corrupt leaders in the world! Bush nominated Hutchinson to head the Border and Transportation Directorate and the GOP approved him! If Asa Hutchinson ever calls a jail cell home along with the names already revealed above and many more still to be revealed, it will not be punishment enough for me who was scr*wed by Asa Hutchinson at the time when I expected to be having or adopting children!
Last July I attended the CE Unterberg Emerging Technologies Conference. Saflink's CEO was one of the speakers. Saflink is a smart card supplier and historically (into the present) held contracts supplying the U.S. military. Saflink's CEO "boasted" at last July's conference that Saflink bought Asa Hutchinson and that Hutchinson been what secured the Transportation Worker Identification Credential contract for Saflink (2003), as well as, directly awarded the Registered Traveler and US VISIT design contracts to Saflink. US VISIT was estimated to cost tax payers $ 10 billion according to Saflink's design! This spring US VISIT is to release biometric smart cards. The designer of US VISIT isn't permitted to participate in US VISIT as a supplying contractor, but since Saflink has bonded with Verified Identity in the Voluntary Credentialing Industry Coalition (likely the repackaged name for Abramoff's "E-commerce Payment Coalition" clients) and is Verified Identity's supplier, Safink will indirectly benefit for the design it drew-up for US VISIT this spring by supplying Verified Identity.
The smart wallet inventor was under review for the airport workers ID program formally called the Airport Access Control Pilot Program. Hutchinson was one of the people who removed the smart wallet from review. He is also who fixed the Registered Traveler program so that smart wallet technology wasn't permitted consideration. When Saflink's CEO boasted, he made clear to the investor audience Saflink was above the law. He kept using the word "we" to refer to the Saflink management team while discussing the already mentioned government contracts Saflink secured. Apart of the "we"--the company's governance, was Asa Hutchinson. The investors in the audience didn't know the Transportation Worker Identification Credential was awarded in 2003, but I did! Hutchinson was bought according to the Saflink CEO's boasting by the time the Department of Homeland Security opened its doors! The fact that Asa Hutchinson was collecting a paycheck from the government and directly awarded Registered Traveler to Saflink, as well as U.S. VISIT's design contract...while Saflink's CEO told the investor audience Hutchinson was apart of their governance can be no greater admission of Asa Hutchinson's corruption.
Asa Hutchinson was formerly a governor of Alabama and running again for that post. Hutchinson was in cahoots with a lot of other government officials to be named in future writings. If Alabama voters want to be humiliated by voting Crook Hutchinson to office when it is imminent he will be removed from office to do jail time that is their (voters) choice to be made the fools!
While Hutchinson's job was eliminated in the Department of Homeland Security's second stage, the corruption continues and hence why I have many more people to name and prove Gonzales' breach of his oath. When an oath goes broken for more than a year, the official themselves is deserving of indictment! Everyone else I am to name was a Bush nomination approved by Congress. I have read and agree: Gonzales is still behaving as though he is Bush's personal counsel! It is said the cover-up is worse than the original crime. Had Congress undone its damage and repatriated the smart wallet inventor, I wouldn't be at the Washington Post's website naming names. The smart wallet inventor did not close on any funding in France until this past November. That was an entire year since Ridge's resignation and Americans made aware there were next-generation technologies in need of funding! Congress had an entire year before the smart wallet inventor became an ex-patriot company to prevent the company from becoming ex-patriot after Ridge's resignation, and instead for an entire additional year chose corruption!
Christopher Cox was Chair of the House Homeland Security Appropriations bill passed late last winter and Pete King Chair of the committee when the 2006 Homeland Security Appropriations bill was passed this past October. Neither Cox nor King would release funding in the 2005 and 2006 Homeland Security Appropriations bills that occurred after it was stated Ridge's crime was he hadn't funded next-generation technologies and it later discovered Congress didn't make the funding available! Cox and King also had the option to release funding in a new bill to honor a federal government venture capital fund, originally promised and announced on the AP Newswire either April 5 or 6, 2004. The privately-run Registered Traveler program being adopted nationwide right now, does not safeguard Americans' fingerprint images and prevent them from being abused. After a person voluntarily gives their fingerprints to vet themselves and prove they are undeserving of being on a no-fly list, the Federal Privacy Act doesn't require the federal government to destroy the images. It is being collected and stored on a national civilian DNA database which is linked to the Known Criminal Database. Just as Christopher Cox, Tom DeLay, Asa Hutchinson, etc. were bribed by lobbyists and companies to collect, catalogue and store Americans' DNA, so was Pete King!
I have worked round-the-clock for more than four years. I have nothing but huge sacrifices to show for it, some of them permanent! I am overwhelmed with regrets for not selling-out every American's security and safety! Congress just spent another 14 ½ months trying to cover-up they in spirit deported the biometric identification credential that can't lead to DNA round-ups because the founders could not bribe members of Congress! The company is launching throughout the EU this coming summer four versions of the biometric smart wallet. This can't be hidden! The CEO watches CNN. It's the only TV station he can get in France he can understand! As for the CEO...his wife is in the U.S. She had already started the immigration process when U.S. operations had to be suspended. Money doesn't grow on trees for us and a ton of cash was already laid-out in the immigration process. She had to stay in the U.S. so she didn't have to pay to start the process a second time if she left with the CEO! Congress exploited the Department of Homeland Security's Buy American Laws it made U.S. Law to force the smart wallet inventor into insolvency and even on the rebound, other Department of Homeland Security laws...immigration laws are being abused. It is Congress' activities--its exploitation of Department of Homeland Security laws that had the Department of Homeland Security kick the smart wallet company out of the U.S., and it is Congress' exploitation of the Department of Homeland Security's immigration laws forcing the CEO and his wife's separation. This is a marital separation they did not want! The CEO's sacrifices because of Congressional Corruption have been huge, too!
The Russians offered nice homes! The Chinese offered to save my home from being lost because the smart wallet inventor became a victim of federal corruption! For making the choices I made, I am living far worse than all the corrupt members of Congress and in Bush's cabinet will when they finally see the four walls of a jail cell! In jail they will have heat, which is the latest comfort their corruption has denied me!!! If any of them belonged to exclusive country clubs, they will have the option to remain members while serving out their jail term. That is something they denied me! And then there is the issue of kids! Whether they are in jail or not, their kids are their kids! Their children will always be there for them, but their corruption stripped me of the ability to have children when I wanted!
Members of Congress, federal officials and the Bush Administration did not want to play this game of cat and mouse with me! I am one cat full of patience, and I always get my mice! I have four years of wrongdoings archived and provable to expose to all Americans. I won't delay submitting to this column as long as I did last, who else is corrupt and what they did! By the time I am done, Gonzales won't have anything more to cover-up and if Americans' heads aren't spinning today after the three names I named and what they did, they will be by the end of reading the next submission!
When bribery involves foreign nations as beneficiaries, the charges are treason in addition to bribery! There's a whole other part of the Legislative Branch called the Senate I haven't touched on yet! Not only are many members of the Senate too, guilty of treason in addition to bribery, Bush's cabinet is full of traitors! The odds are high I will choose next to name Bush nominees who sold-out the U.S.' security and safety!
Elected and appointed officials sold-out their country for often the sum of a few thousand dollars each, and if Gonzales wants to be their partner-in-crime, it is his choice! I can't help but notice the few newer developments announced in the federal corruption probe are still focusing on the Indian Tribes. Alberto Gonzales seems to be finding the tentacle that sprung from this federal probe involving the smart wallet inventor too hot to handle! Hence, I will continue to break the ice, so the subject matter is no longer strange to Americans. For the record...the biometric technology that can't lead to DNA round-ups was kicked out of the U.S. because we wouldn't bribe elected officials. Now it is out in the open so no longer too sizzling a subject for Alberto Gonzales to discuss! Not only could Congress have prevented the smart wallet inventor from becoming a foreign firm for an entire year after it was deemed so serious a crime to not fund us it warranted the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security's resignation, but our arrangement in France is with a few small investors. Investors can be bought out, and Congress has chosen to not repatriate smart wallet technology. THE SMART WALLET FOUNDER WILL NEVER PAY INTO ANYTHING BUT THE MOVEMENT FOR CAMPAIGN REFORM, SO AMERICANS WILL NEVER HAVE A CHANCE AT HAVING ACCESS TO OUR PLATFORM UNTIL THEY HAVE JAILED THEIR CORRUPT OFFICIALS DEMANDING BRIBES IF AMERICANS ARE TO GAIN ACCESS TO OUR PLATFORM! THIS IS A REQUIREMENT, BECAUSE NO OTHER TECH INNOVATOR SHOULD HAVE TO WALK IN OUR SAME SHOES AND HAVE THE MOST UN-AMERICAN OF REGRETS!
Also now in the open so no longer concealable by Alberto Gonzales is: when Department of Homeland Security officials caught The Boston Globe reporters by surprise a year ago January by mentioning there was a more socially responsible credentialing solution the public hadn't been told about, there are now some names attached to why the solution was blocked from being released into the U.S. market. Finally, it is in the open that while classifying the smart wallet founder protects the founder's intellectual property, making us classified was abused by members of Congress and the officials they approved to office so that Americans couldn't learn they had another choice...one that would have been far more palatable than they were led by their federal officials to believe exists.

Reading Jeffrey Birnbaum's column today, "Shutting the door on Sudan" reminded me of information I wanted to share with Washington Post readers regarding the smart wallet inventor's experiences with the U.S. State Department. This is material, because Mr. Birnbaum's column introduces the subject that the U.S. State Department--apart of the Executive Branch is lobbied and easily corrupted. That State Department would waive a ban imposed against doing business with Sudan to financially benefit one of its former employees, when the Sudanese government is widely known for its genocide is proof either U.S. State Department officials are just book smart and lacking in common sense, or void of the most basic ethics and morals instilled in the mainstream American population in their childhood!
Early into the formation of the smart wallet inventor's 2002 paper trail, the company's CEO was called into the U.S. State Department's Visa and Passport Policy Planning Office. Little advance notice was given for this March 2002 meeting, and the CEO hadn't enough lead time to find a discounted airfare from Denver to Washington, D.C. In summary, he paid a "nose bleed" airfare!
The Visa and Passport Policy Planning Office used to be headed by a man with the last name Hatchner. I do not recall his first name, but the CEO, who I don't want to trouble right now, knows the full name and has Mr. Hatchner's business card.
When the smart wallet inventor's CEO arrived at the Visa and Passport Policy Planning Office, he was soon thereafter introduced to its staff. Right after salutations were made, the staff and CEO sat down at a table. Next, Mr. Hatchner slammed his hand on the documents resting on the table describing the smart wallet platform. Mr. Hatchner said, "This! This will not be adopted in the U.S. for ten years!" Immediately the CEO knew his troubles and costs to get to that office, as well as time to meet with the office were all wasted! For-profit businesses don't stay in business long if they haven't revenues. The odds of Mr. Hatchner still heading that office in ten years was unlikely, so the same meetings would have to happen many times more over the ten year period with new "faces." Furthermore, ten years is an unreasonable amount of time for any company to have to wait! The spirit of the Visa and Passport Policy Planning Office's message was the smart wallet inventor should: "Get Lost! Go Away!" In March of 2002, there was nothing on the table as to which passport standard the U.S. might consider and represent before the UN ICAO (body that sets worldwide passport standards)!
In 2001 more than 3,000 Americans lost their lives in the attacks. Six months later, while the Republican congressional candidates already had begun running on a counter-terrorism platform and are to this day, the U.S. State Department refused to consider cutting-edge technologies to prevent another attack. RFID was invented in 1914 by the Brits. It was put into smart cards by the French fifty years ago. The smart wallet inventor's intellectual property covers the use of RFID, but our earliest development in the first quarter of 2001 excluded it. There are many types of wireless technologies, and one selected by the smart wallet inventor that is far safer and secure than RFID will ever be!
A year after that visit to State Department, the U.S. began considering the RFID passport the public knows about. The U.S. State Department selected the RFID passport to represent before the UN ICAO still adamant it would never consider the smart wallet inventor's passport and visa platform.
The RFID passport already proved flawed when in Holland several weeks ago hackers skimmed the data of a passport holder from a distance of 30'. It took them two hours, but once the encrypted code is cracked, the entire platform is cracked. Future efforts would take seconds because the encryption code now known! Literally, an American traveler could be having a nice dinner in a restaurant, and 30' away, out of sight and perhaps even across the street, a thief could skim the passport holder's data and clone it to a new passport chip. There also is the problem that the same could happen to a foreign traveler either before departure or during their travels, and clones/imposters surrender passports at our borders attached to the original passport holder's reputation. The addition of RFID to visas, being adopted at US borders, simply makes the visa as incompetent as the RFID passport when it comes to guaranteeing with certainty a person surrendering a visa is who they claim to be. The purpose of adopting new identification credentialing tech standards was to guarantee a person is who they claim.
All Americans should know that State Department had offered to it a secure alternative four years ago, and refused to adopt it. U.S. State Department four years ago and into the present is adamant it will never adopt the smart wallet platform! Late last October I read a Watertown Times (upstate NY) article where Representative McHugh and Senator Clinton were describing the smart wallet without mentioning its founder's name but referring to it as the future drivers' license. They were angered U.S. State Department refused to include the smart wallet in the Trilateral Agreement at the Canadian border. The Canadian Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness Office is aware of the smart wallet, so McHugh and Clinton very accurate to place the blame for the omission on U.S. State Department and not on Canada.
I have a strong opinion of State Department officials through exposure in a different circle I run in where there is no business before State Department. State Department officials want to be wined and dined. They are the "world's [house] guest"...they are freeloaders. They might wear nice clothes obtained while freeloading, but look past the fancy "outer wrapper," and the majority have more in common with hobos/bums than any other cross-section of the US population. Everything they do carries an "air" of entitlement. Entitlements are "earned!" Through my experiences with State Department with regard to the smart wallet inventor, since it was me who took over where the CEO left off, a giant portion of State Department personnel "earned" something else: jail sentences!
In that a failure to wine and dine, done legally through the hiring of a lobbyist is a requirement to securing a contract controlled by State Department, and the failure to wine and dine State Department officials will cost a company a contract, since merit plays no part in the decision making process, this is racketeering. There has been no crackdown on this corruption whatsoever in State Department, reflecting U.S. State Department officials are above the law and the laws other areas of government have to follow don't apply to the U.S. State Department.
President Bush and members of Congress have told the public many times over the: U.S. has a mission to technologically remain many steps ahead of its enemies. The smart wallet inventor is proof U.S. State Department does not share this same mission! The State Department told the smart wallet inventor to in spirit "Get Lost! Go Away!" four months into the Russians offering to erase all the smart wallet inventor's troubles if it would move to Russia...Yet, management didn't share with the Russians any of the troubles they had encountered in the U.S. by the time the Russians began using the word "erase" in the spring of 2002. Furthermore, the smart wallet inventor didn't run into trouble in the US again until October of 2002 (will not blog on this b/c it is related to the GSA/David Safavian--don't want to upset DOJ), well after the Russians began to use the word "erase."
There can be no disputing State Department officials were "sharing the bed sheets" with Russia in 2002 and enacting Russian policy that the smart wallet inventor was told to disappear while the Russians offered 100 % funding and extra perks. This is the same Russia and leadership that tried to poison the Ukrainian Democratic candidate in the fall of 2004! This is the same Russia that rigged the Ukrainian election so it had to be re-held in November of 2004! This is the same Russia that turned-off the pipeline to Ukraine this past January 1 at the height of the Ukrainian winter to punish Ukraine for moving more toward Democracy and developing closer ties to western Democracies and the US! This is the same Russia that recently stated it would enrich uranium for the Iranians and more recently began discussions with Hamas! Americans might rightfully scorn Russia, but their State Department has a pro-Russian policy.
It has been widely publicized in US newspapers for two months, Russia is not free. State Department allegedly has a policy to spread Democracy throughout the world according to all of Condoleeza Rice's most recent speeches. Those are just words and carry little meaning. Actions speak far louder than words! State Department policy as it is enacted is to spread Soviet-style Communism. Lobbyists working on behalf of Russia bribed State Department officials a long time ago to spread Communism and adopt other Kremlin policies. State Department personnel couldn't look any more like "an easy date!" A good meal...nice wine, and State Department personnel have "hopped in the sack" indiscriminately...with an enemy! For the price of a good meal, much of the US State Department's personnel will sellout every American's national security! I stand by my selection of words to describe those likely to come under scrutiny in the federal corruption probe to be the US' worst "whores!"

US enemies will write-out a check for any amount to gain control of the US' cutting edge homeland defense technologies and ruin every American's life. I know this from more than four years of experiences where I could have sold-out every American's security and saved management and myself. My reward is to sell-out every American, because of the activities of lobbyists who are afforded only by mature companies trying to prevent superior technologies in homeland defense from gaining market share mature companies want.
Young tech companies haven't the money to bribe elected officials through their re-election campaign coffers, which is what elected officials demanded of me. When I hadn't the funds to be extorted and a lobbyist was beyond my financial capability, my company's platform was removed from consideration by elected officials in federal identifcation credentialing programs in 2003, after the platform was put under review for those programs based on merit by appointed officials in 2002.
I know from all the information already revealed, my employer is to be one of the "big enchiladas" in the federal corruption probe! Americans don't know that while members of Congress and the appointed officials they installed into office a year ago were praising/offering merits of my employer's platform, behind closed Committee and SubCommittee doors for years they demanded the company's failure. Abramoff had to spread the money, because there were 87 Committees and Subcommittees overseeing the DHS and TSA's purse strings! Had Abramoff not bribed as many as 220 elected officials (plus appointed officials) to force my employer's failure, anyone of those Committees or Subcommittees might have funded my employer, as is customarily done behind closed Committee doors when a technology is classified because it is a defense or critical infrastructure tech solution.
My employer by November of 2004 concluded the US is the most corrupt nation in the world, and were the "so-called" next generation tech company that did something in November of 2004 that forced Ridge's resignation. The company is now operating in France in violation of the Buy American laws and in months to bring the US Congress the most immense of shame since we have the only biometric identifcation credentialing platform that respects American's liberties and freedoms. An American is heading a French firm launching throughout the EU where none of the company's founders speak a word of French! Congressional shame is imminent!
It is a lie the US technologically wants to remain many steps ahead of its enemies! The consequences of federal corruption is to hand on a silver platter the US' cutting edge technologies to US enemies. When federal investigators release their findings, there will be no question the US must abolish all lobbying! If political appointees attempt to block full disclosure, then I will publish just what great lengths lobbyists like Abramoff went, to force the US' cutting-edge homeland defense technology companies into US enemy control just to benefit lobbyists' customers supplying useless technology that makes the US less secure. In summary, smart cards are fraud. They make identity theft easier and harder to detect. The purpose of adopting new identification credentialing standards is to protect the US by preventing identity theft that can result in the attacking critical infrastructure. The adoption of smart cards in government-wide applications is fraud!
Tom Blank is the lobbyist that took over the most corrupt of the plots to emerge from Abramoff's activities. The current publicity surrounding Abramoff's activities hasn't stopped Blank from boasting in the press of what contracts he is having fixed to benefit his clients right now. If Tom Blank becomes the next focus of federal investigators, another lobbyist will fill his shoes as he filled Abramoff's to perpetuate federal corruption.
WP readers need to understand that the charges are by its narrowest definition: racketeering. The activities of elected and the appointed officials they installed into office is the exact same as is done by organized crime. Finally, when the beneficiary is a foreign entity and Americans have lost something to benefit the foreign entity, the charge of treason applies, too!
Until lobbying is fully abolished, the US federal government will remain the most corrupt nation in the entire world and the reward for its inventors to be to sell-out the US. The oranized crime-run Russian federal government offered nice homes apart of their 100 % financing package and the Communist Chinese Military representative offered to save my home from being lost for having been such an idiot to remain loyal to the US for years--a nation that awards contracts based on who has more money to bribe public officials, and doesn't award based on merit. Again, if federal investigators' findings are silenced by political appointees, I will provide the WP with the proof!
Every single federal identification credentialing program is being fixed right now to a platform that is fundamentally fifty years old and proven to be useless even with the addition of biometrics! Congress is full of hot air and nothing they state in the press about reform can be taken seriously because they aren't halting the fixing of the federal ID credentialing programs' contracts and allowing fair consideration to be given to newer superior platorms that haven't lobbyists on their payroll. Only if the truth is released of what was done to my employer...the schemes were elaborate, might there be serious reform. I assure you, if reform isn't serious, Americans will be denied access to my employer's platform. Long ago it was determined we would not service corrupt nations. China and Russia are on our list, but so currently is the US! Dozens of other governments wanted nothing but our success and for years offered lucrative funding to realize success. France is apart of our list of well-wishers, and become our chosen host country of the dozens of offers. Had our mission only been about money, we would have abandoned the US years before November of 2004! Members of Congress were bribed to make themselves management's enemy over a many year period! No one rewards their enemies, so if there isn't reform to force the awarding of contracts and funding of companies based on merit, no sum of money will change my employer's opinion of the US being as corrupt as the most corrupt of third world nations! We will accept nothing less than the full abolishment of lobbying!
