First draft – legal complaint against unnamend parties over covert intelligence to the detriment of

FIRST DRAFT – LEGAL COMPLAINT AGAINST UNNAMEND PARTIES OVER “COVERT INTELLIGENCE TO THE DETRIMENT OF GERMANY”

Subjects: IP/10/1624, MEMO/15/4781, MEMO/15/4782, IP/15/4780, and Antitrust: Commission probes allegations of antitrust violations by Google & other US Entities.

Demand European Commissionʼs Antitrust and small business discrimination Investigations on Google and on other US (Midwest Ohio based) neoconservative US big Business (ʻALECʼ) entities.

To Whom It May Concern: My name is Anthony Endres; I am a German citizen, innovator and online small business owner living in Ohio, USA. EU Commissioner in charge of competition policy Margrethe Vestager said: "The Commission's objective is to apply EU antitrust rules to ensure that companies operating in Europe, wherever they may be based, do not artificially deny European consumers as wide a choice as possible or stifle innovation".

The preliminary conclusion of the Commission's investigation opened in November 2010 is that Google gives systematic favorable treatment to its comparison shopping product (currently called 'Google Shopping') in its general search results pages, e.g. by showing Google Shopping more prominently on the screen. It may therefore artificially divert traffic from rival comparison-shopping services and hinder their ability to compete on the market.

It appears Google in particular, with other US so-called ALEC (American Legislative Exchange Council) private Corporate members engaged in some form of discriminatory Conspiracies and anticompetitive agreements and decisions against my Climate Change and Multi culture-oriented online small business and our Collaborative Store system over the last past 6 years. The US, or better said, some US Mega private Corporations in our local religious private Corporations-infested Ohio / TriState abused a dominant position to discriminate my small business which affected Global trade and prevented and restricted not just my small businessʼs competition with USʼs most successful “Crowdfunding” system over the past 7 years illegally, but prevented European and Minoritiesʼ economic successes not only in the USA in the same similar area viciously.

1

Those neoconservative business organization appear to widely conspire to discriminate and disadvantage minorities and others foreign and progressive businesses not part of their secretive ALEC or other inane ideological big business sect, and there are concrete evidences that these ultra conservative US ALEC Corporations are abusing and bribing US/ Ohio Legislators and lawmakers and are selfishly abusing the National Security Apparatus to disadvantage other small new concurrent business as occurred to us over the past 6 years provably on a few secret recordings and documents obtained through European and American whistleblowers. These conspiring US ʻALECʼ US mega Corporations infringed in multiple ways so on Article 101 of the Antitrust Treaty) prohibiting anticompetitive agreements and decisions of associations of undertakings and Article 102 TFEU prohibiting the abuse of a dominant position which may affect trade and prevent or restrict competition. I hold evidences that a Conservativesled big business segment of the local business community we reside in here in Ohio USA illegally hindered the development and market access of our “crowdfunding” rival mobile applications and services. I hold in that context old at various business meetings recorded Audio /video evidences, which proves that particular around 2009 and 2014, some, if not all those so-called ALEC Corporations ( among which are / were then Paypal, Ebay, Google, Facebook, Skype, local conservative Ohio SBA Companies etc) have given some levels of unfair advantage to solely USʼs private Monopoliesʼ own ”crowdfunding” and ʻcrowdʼ shopping services in breach of EU antitrust rules. Newer US Crowdfunding businesses which were all in fact predated by the small business /entrepreneurial project of my wife, me and a few friends in Europe, which we started in 2008, were so giving illegal advantages That our Collaborative Store System was discriminated against, that our Internet traffic were intruded into and diverted artificially and our new small businessʼs ability to compete was lowered by those Corporations and their neoconservative ideological Big business Allies in the Ohio ultra rightwing GOP government, the fact that they severally infringe on the International Anti-Trust Agreements was detriment of and a clear discrimination of Green and Multicultural consumers, and stifled so International innovation.

Since my wife and I legally out of Courts prevented Chrysler Automobileʼs infringement on our Copyrighted Online Store System in 201, 3 even more concrete evidences of male-wares /backdoor intrusion, sabotages and organized business discriminations, attempts of wrongful criminal implicating by the Ohio FBI , and unlawful disadvantaging of our Green and Diversity-based business have occurred. As said previously, I hold various documentations, emails and phone communications logs and my own secretly recorded business meeting evidences of local Antitrust offenses committed against my small business Projectheureka LLC in Ohio, USA. I am seeking Specific EU documents (legislation, publications, press releases etc.) fact sheets, reports, statistics, working documents etc. on specific EU

2

policies in regards to Crowdfunding, European Policies to my specific version of “Crowdfunding”, and information the European Commission holds concerning the involvement of US mega Corporations like Google, Apple, Microsoft, Skype, Facebook and Twitter in the unwarranted bulk surveillance of European people like myself and minority operated online shopping small businesses. There is a high probability of those conspiring Corporations to having also infringe on various other International small businessesʼ Patents, Copyrights and Innovations, and disadvantage so significantly other businesses. I am now also seeking the European Commissionʼs support and information on my legal rights against NSA-/ FBIʼs unwarranted surveillance programs and itʼs negative side effect on foreign entrepreneurs and small business startups. And particular am I seeking now the European Commissionʼs /European Courts ʻsupport against some of those involved and illegal benefitting U.S. tech Corporations and against the discriminating, international antitrust infringing big business community in this Diversity and Climate Change denying Bible-Belt Business areas of Ohio, Indiana/Kentucky USA. Additively do I also now seek the European Commissionʼs funding opportunities for my Sharing-Buying.com and other related small business innovation as an EU citizen, as a legal “Minority” German Citizen, as 49% owner of our German-American small business which was financially harmed.

We are now urgently seeking adequate legal European, Domestic USA and other American, as well as Global legal support in how-to exercise mine and my small businessʼs rights accurately, while still residing in the USA with our small business, for now. I seek to sue Ohioʼs business community, if not the US National Security State, possibly by filing this Civil Rights Suits against my sitting German Chancellor Frau Dr. Angela Merkel and the German BND. We are suing among others for the release of the information of German and European Nationals who were harmed by NSA/ GCHQ unwarranted bulk surveillance ,and for return of those victimsʼ data and Intellectual Properties so unrightfully taken back to the rightful European owners.

Evaluations of Public Evidences Against US Business Entities: NSAʼs Bulk Collection of Phone Records Is Illegal, Appeals Court Says “The case was brought by the American Civil Liberties Union, and ACLU attorney Alex Abdo told The Intercept, “This ruling should make clear, once and for all, that the NSAʼs bulk collection of Americansʼ phone records is unlawful. And it should cast into doubt the unknown number of other mass surveillance operations of the NSA that rely on a similarly flawed interpretation of the law.” http://pdfserver.amlaw.com/nlj/NSA_ca2_20150507.pdf

A federal appeals court panel ruled on May 07 2015 that the NSAʼs bulk collection of metadata of phone calls to and from Americans is not authorized by Section 215 of the USA Patriot Act, throwing out the governmentʼs legal justification for the surveillance program exposed by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden nearly two years ago.

Judge Gerard E. Lynch, writing the opinion for the unanimous three-judge panel of the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in New York, described as “unprecedented and unwarranted” the governmentʼs argument that the allencompassing collection of phone records was allowed because it was “relevant” to an authorized investigation.

Lynch continued: The government emphasizes that “relevance” is an extremely generous standard, particularly in the context of the grand jury investigations to which the statute analogizes orders under § 215. Appellants argue that relevance is not an unlimited concept, and that the governmentʼs own use (or non-use) of the records obtained demonstrates that most of the records sought are not relevant to any particular investigation.”

Indeed, he noted: The records demanded are all-encompassing; the government does not even suggest that all of the records sought, or even necessarily any of them, are relevant to any specific defined inquiry.

And therefore, he concluded: We agree with appellants that such an expansive concept of “relevance” is unprecedented and unwarranted.

Lynch wrote in the courtʼs opinion: “To obtain a § 215 order, the government must provide the FISC [Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court] with ʻa statement

4

of facts showing that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the tangible things sought are relevant to an authorized investigation (other than a threat assessment).'”

The case was brought by the American Civil Liberties Union, and ACLU attorney Alex Abdo told The Intercept, “This ruling should make clear, once and for all, that the NSAʼs bulk collection of Americansʼ phone records is unlawful. And it should cast into doubt the unknown number of other mass surveillance operations of the NSA that rely on a similarly flawed interpretation of the law.”

The panel rejected the governmentʼs argument that the ACLU lacked standing because it couldnʼt prove that any one personʼs records, sitting in a searchable database, had been reviewed by government officials. But whether itʼs a machine or a person doing the searching doesnʼt matter, Lynch wrote: [T]he government admits that, when it queries its database, its computers search all of the material stored in the database in order to identify records that match the search term. In doing so, it necessarily searches appellantsʼ records electronically, even if such a search does not return appellantsʼ records for close review by a human agent. There is no question that an equivalent manual review of the records, in search of connections to a suspect person or telephone, would confer standing even on the governmentʼs analysis. That the search is conducted by a machine might lessen the intrusion, but does not deprive appellants of standing to object to the collection and review of their data.

The courtʼs rebuttal of the governmentʼs argument that Congress wanted bulk collection kept secret from the public is quietly blistering: The government has pointed to no affirmative evidence, whether “clear and convincing” or “fairly discernible,” that suggests that Congress intended to preclude judicial review. Indeed, the governmentʼs argument from secrecy suggests that Congress did not contemplate a situation in which targets of § 215 orders would become aware of those orders on anything resembling the scale that they now have. That revelation, of course, came to pass only because of an unprecedented leak of classified information.

The primary author of the Patriot Act, Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner, R-Wisc., has said that neither he nor anyone else imagined the law would be used for bulk domestic surveillance. “How can every call that every American makes or receives be relevant to a specific investigation?” Sensenbrenner asked, shortly after Snowden revealed the program.

And as Lynch wrote in the opinion: “Congress cannot reasonably be said to

5

have ratified a program of which many members of Congress – and all members of the public – were not aware.”

The opinion describes the extraordinary revealing nature of metadata, and notes that the “structured format of telephone and other technology-related metadata, and the vast new technological capacity for large-scale and automated review and analysis” raises the stakes even higher. “The more metadata the government collects and analyzes, furthermore, the greater the capacity for such metadata to reveal ever more private and previously unascertainable information about individuals,” Lynch wrote, adding: “it is virtually impossible for an ordinary citizen to avoid creating metadata about himself on a regular basis simply by conducting his ordinary affairs.”

Lynch also indicated the court had no patience for government claims that it wouldnʼt back up: The government disputes appellantsʼ characterization of the program as collecting “virtually all telephony metadata” associated with calls made or received in the United States, but declines to elaborate on the scope of the program or specify how the program falls short of that description. It is unclear, however, in what way appellantsʼ characterization of the program can be faulted.

Three Patriot Act provisions, including Section 215, are set to expire on June 1.

The USA Freedom Act would amend that section. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has proposed a full reauthorization of the Act as is. But as American University Law Professor Steve Vladeck points out: The ruling should “give the president the confidence to finally end this overly broad program using his existing authority,” Heinrich said. The bulk collection program was arguably the most unprecedented NSA program of all the ones exposed by Snowden, by virtue of its overt focus on monitoring domestic communication.

Based on the newest development and revelations

by Edward Snowden: http://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/bnd-intelligence-scandal-putsmerkel-in-tight-place-a-1031944.html#ref=nl-international

http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-­‐way/2015/05/07/404898259/federal-­‐court-­‐ bulk-­‐collection-­‐of-­‐phone-­‐metadata-­‐is-­‐illegal http://www.theguardian.com/us-­‐news/2015/may/07/nsa-­‐phone-­‐records-­‐ program-­‐illegal-­‐court http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/may/07/german-­‐secret-­‐service-­‐bnd-­‐ restricts-­‐cooperation-­‐nsa-­‐us-­‐online-­‐surveillance-­‐spy The German chancellor Doctor Angela Merkel is in charge of oversight of foreign intelligence and Merkel has an entire department in the Chancellery responsible for formulating the BND's assignments, managing them and, most importantly, keeping an eye on the agency.

I am looking into filing separately, or joining existing ongoing Civil Rights, Business Antitrust or other adequate Legal Complaint against my sitting conservative German Kanzlerin Frau Doctor Angela Merkel, against her Chancellery and staff members, against the German interior minister Thomas de Maiziere against Mr. Ernst Uhrlau President of the BND, and against the entire leadership of the Bundes Nachrichten Dienst (BND) for their unconstitutional /under German laws unlawful policy of "unlimited solidarity" with US NSAʼs bulk surveillance programs, over “covert intelligence to the detriment of Germany and my families business interests, and thus their acting neglecting against German publicʼs and against German /European economyʼs interests.

We hereby demand urgent German high Courtsʼ and International investigations into the matter: I. For those above mentioned leaders and Institutionsʼ traitorous, illegal and secretive, Anti-Democratic collaboration with the NSA in the ongoing digital heists, for their willful support in the industrial espionage against German companies, and lending digital hands in the Intellectual Property thefts from the German people, from German researchers and from German businesses and German innovators/inventors and thus from German Shareholders too. The fact that the NSA and its British counterpart, the GCHQ, spied on the official, Joaquin

7

Almunia, in charge of the European Commission's antitrust office, which has threatened US tech monopoly giants, such as Google, with large fines and has already levied punitive fees from Microsoft and Intel, various heads of state (and sometimes their families); and on the French oil and gas giant Total a concurrence to US Oil and Gas exploration Corporations; on Unicef, the United Nations' Children's Fund; and the UN Institute for Disarmament studies etc. etc., and stole countless Metadata - without any search warrants – and other digital data from Millions of European/ German people, proves NSAʼs bulk surveillance data utilizations constitute also Industry Espionage and Intellectual property transfers to US private entities and interests, more than NSA/GCHQʼs international positive effects, or let alone the excessively high over-all costs for the Global community in terrorism-prevention can be mathematically or based on numbers of cases solved be validated and justified.

The scope and costs of NSAʼs Global bulk surveillance programs can not be justified legally, by no conclusive sound and objective means, other than unverifiable fear-mongering run as Neoconservative American big business of Global fast success through orchestrated frauds and instigated terrorism certainly.

While we Europeans, businesses, researchers and private people alike, are supposed to leave our safes and backdoors also open just so the NSA and neoconservative private contracting US (and 5 power) Firms aliened can walk in and out of our privacy rights just to protect” Germany and Europe sounds rather very dumb of us Europeans to allow them to do. Again.

II. For helping inflict severe damages to the European economy - and particular in my own and other German businesses and researchers' affected cases - to the German economy and German businesses and German Tax revenues, by aiding and collaborating on the NSA/ GCHQ's secret Intellectual property thefts via unwarranted bulk data collections via back-door male-wares and secret alliances with US globally operating, Multi-National, privately-owned Mega tech and other Corporations. The actions and inactions of Kanzlerin Merkel and the BND has and continues to cause severe damages to German businesses, to the Global economic environment, to a monopoly position of US private Corporations, and thus to severe financial and other loses to the entire German economy. A socially responsible, strong and successful Democratic German economy, which would have otherwise been the Worldʼs leading economy by now. “,. The list from the Snowden archive also lists other companies, including Boeing, Siemens, the pharmaceuticals firm Boehringer-Ingelheim, Deutsche Bank and the telecommunications concern Debitel. The electronics company Rohde & Schwarz, which provides equipment to German intelligence agency BND, is also on the list, as are Mercedes-Benz, the jet engine manufacturer MTU and ND SatCom, which provides satellite communications. Two other entries of interest are Deutsche Börse subsidiary Clearstream, which provides security services from its headquarters in Luxembourg, and the logistics giant DHL.”

III. For helping the CIA create an historic and very cruel minority migration wave problem moving from Middle East, Asia, and North Africa toward Europe, since U.S.A is separated by Oceans. For helping the racist within the CIA destabilize European Multicultural societies with the extreme influx of extreme poverty and despair toward Europe ongoing right now, while the USA runs Charity frauds and refuse to take ANY larger numbers of the immigrants USʼs drone-bombing and reckless economic war-fares are creating, causing so huge human rights and political conflicts for Europeans and throughout Europe. That segment of the USA is and must be held legally economically responsible for the Asylum seeking migrant waves marching toward Europe, which mainly CIAʼs reckless dronebombing and US-led wars are continuing to create, while Climate Change calamities like in Tibet adds to devastating Migration waves toward Europe.

Thus, alone for European and German National & Business Security: We demand that The NSA/ CIA can not be allowed to continue doing both any more: Total bulk surveillance of all important aspects of our individual Data and shared Planet, and drone-bombing anywhere unison should be by International decree be forbidden to the USA. Since those Institutions are proving to not comply with anything Democracy stands for.

VI. Kanzlerin Frau Doctor Angela Merkel, as a former DRR resident and victim of the former STASI system herself, FAILED to protect the whole united German peopleʼs interests and particular the freedom so many former East Germans died for, in her leadership role as German Chancellor. She and political leaders before and many beside her acted against German interests, by having knowledge of such over-reaching intrusive secret bulk surveillance programs and not informing the German people adequately about the concrete rules, their rights and what constitute the crimes to warrant such unlimited bulk surveillance, other than it being institutional racism, Anti-Semitism and abuse of and by Secret Services?

V. We want to additively utilize this important European Civil Rights complaints to allow Germany and the BND to in return sue the NSA and the USA for: a. the FULL and detailed, non-redacted European “FOIA” releases of ALL information the NSA/ GCHQ collected from and to individual businesses and individual German resident since begin of the illegal bulk surveillance, against no costs for Applicants what-so-ever.

It has unfortunately shown and proven that in the USA an arch conservative segment of the FBI helped the racist NRA (American ultra rightwing Arms Corporations-run Organization full of wealthy US KKK/ White Supremacists) and “ALEC”-loyal Corporations hide how many people in total the sometimes highly criminal, racist or the truly mentally ill among US Caucasian and other US

9

Police officers are shooting, breaking the neck/spine, Taser to death, shoot and kill ( while an armed Caucasian double murderers, who was attacking a Caucasian Cop holding his gun in the hand was not once shot at, is interesting to mention as one - of so many unbelievable numbers - legal evidences of ongoing "hunt-to-kill"-racism in the US Police forces, too).

The FBI and their incredible reckless lack of equivalent throughout data collection made it difficult to find out how many crazy Caucasian Killer Cops who often do not have a High school diploma or even a GED, are on heavy mind-altering Opioid pills (their Doc will know) and Steroids, but were allowed to carry a badge and big military guns with the legal right to kill. Nor does the US FBI even with the countless terroristic acts of violence by white vigilantes like George Zimmerman and countless conservative Caucasian Police officers know how many US Police officers, Agents, Informers are tightly connected to Islamic Terrorism, or to US White Militia and White Extremists movements online and within the USA, increasing so not only Global gun trafficking, but Global rightwing extremism and Islamic revenge terrors and massive migration waves due to connected secret CIA bombings of the Middle East, parts of Asia and North Africa probably too. b. We demand the FULL and detailed, non-redacted FOIA releases of ALL information regarding US Police officers who have killed in the last 16 years in their line of duty including the entire content of their bulk surveillance data of their emails, social media contacts, and cell phone content,. Latter, unwarranted Bulk Collections of Americansʼ cell phone data, which was now declared illegal by an Appeal Court in the USA. But has useful validity in uncovering gangs of White Supremacist KKK, Killer Cops and hired killers within the US Police forces.

Manningʼs revelations of some of U.S.ʼs private concreted and badly screened Caucasian Security high racism-motivated hatred and their hate-crime motivated organized killing intent proves the necessity of screening and bulk collecting USʼs Security personalsʼ metadata to avoid such similar senseless unarmed brownskinned people killing conspiracies domestically, as Former NSA staffer Thomas Drake, Manning, Snowden and Assange, already exposed, and all three International heroes are unrightfully the ones a criminal system is criminalizing for exposing the most digital insecurity the NSA and CIA Corporations created possibly alone to enlarge their monopolistic, self-proclaiming “too big to fail” Corporate business perpetually throughout the entire Globe.

“The document in question is called "JSA Restrictions," and it originated with the British intelligence agency GCHQ. It says that the US-German surveillance unit known as Joint Sigint Activity possesses "unique access," but is subject to "several restrictions" when it comes to choosing surveillance targets.

Those restrictions preclude the monitoring of Germans in addition to citizens of any ofthe so-called Five Eyes partners, a reference to the intelligence agencies

10

of the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Great Britain. Furthermore, there could be no "European economic targeting" during spying and "sensitive" selectors such as Internet address endings for Germany, Austria and the Five Eyes countries were "not accepted".

A list follows, identifying companies "that should not be targeted due to them being German companies or entities." The names on the list are surprising. On the one hand, "European economic" targets were allegedly off limits anyway. On the other, the list only has 31 entries, making it surprisingly short.

The German BND itself recently estimated there were up to 40,000 suspicious search parameters directed against European and German interests. Traces of those suspicious search parameters can also be found in the archive of whistleblower Edward Snowden.

The list from the Snowden archive also lists other companies, including Siemens, the pharmaceuticals firm Boehringer-Ingelheim, Deutsche Bank and the telecommunications concern Debitel. The electronics company Rohde & Schwarz, which provides equipment to German intelligence agency BND, is also on the list, as are Mercedes-Benz, the jet engine manufacturer MTU and ND SatCom, which provides satellite communications. Two other entries of interest are Deutsche Börse subsidiary Clearstream, which provides security services from its headquarters in Luxembourg, and the logistics giant DHL. The one thing the companies all have in common is that their company domains do not end with ".de," signifying a German web address, but ".com," ".org," or ".net." As such, they wouldn't be immediately recognized as German companies by automated filters, which perhaps explains why they are explicitly listed.

The question is whether the companies on the list are selectors that were sent by the Americans to the BND only to be rejected -- or whether the companies had been spied on for years before they were later removed from the target list. Were the companies on the list of 2,000 selectors discovered by the BND to have been contrary to German and European interests? Neither the German intelligence agency nor the Chancellery has provided an answer to that question.” http://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/bnd-intelligence-scandal-putsmerkel-in-tight-place-a-1031944.html#ref=nl-international

There is certainly no question that bulk surveillance was abuse for Industry espionages against German interests, and European economy. In some cases for personal enrichments and business formations by former Agents even.

The USA is about to reauthorize Section 215 of the PATRIOT Act giving some extremist racists as well as dubious private contracting NSA Corporations full and

total access to tamper with any Europeansʼ private and business data. That the limitlessness of NSAʼs data collection already by a factor of 100 surpasses the existential threats the STASI posed to the European and Worldʼs Democracies and Free Market, is certainly not a question the honorable German Kanzlerin Frau Doctor Angel Merkel and her honorable Political Colleagues still have to any further longer insinuate and debate about, or is it?

VI. No-one is saying a level of warranted surveillance is not a necessity! Who ever claim a level of warranted surveillance of concrete validated crime and terror suspects in times of growing armed Terrorism, Islamic and White Supremacists alike, and growing organized crime syndicates involving innocent people killing Police officers and corrupt FBI Agents are unnecessary in complete, is just a f*cking idiot in denial!

But. Fact through Edward Snowden also are: The NSAʼs Bulk Surveillance focus on the lesser of the terroristic threats, but very high on German businesses, European politicians and on German Research Institutes. There are very little concrete validated evident of (Industry or other) terror attacks prevented which didnʼt involved dubious set-up by criminal Informers seeking high rewards as their incomes, and which justifies such Global intrusions involving private US monopolistic Tech Corporations and other US businesses in secret. Many of those neoconservative NSAʼ private Contracted US Businesses, of whom some of those business Executive leaders would - by European standards - be considered dangerous Ultra Conservatives, or even describe as far too much resembling old wealthy Nazis of our European past. Evidently such excessive trust and reliance of the European Nations on the competency and interests of the NSA in keeping us Europeans and European economic interests safe is based on nothing but Security big businessʼs hot-air for which Europeans pay Billions of unaccounted Euros / Dollars in European Tax money for. While influential European leaders such as Kanzlerin Merkel and the BND leadership are knowingly writing our European Democracy, our Freedom and Germansʼ Intellectual Properties over to some highly dubious CIA-funded private US Corporations in bed with the NSA and visa-a-versa revolving “private-public” doors of self-serving conspired US Neoconservative cronyism, and corruptions, which dominate some parts of the USʼs political and big business sectors unfortunately more than the US is able to lead by following the agreed upon Democratic and International Antitrust principles. USʼs Global leadership could be so easily abused for private Corporate and ideological purposes.

VII. It is imperative for the European Courts to also revisit the archconservative Rupert Murdochʼs News of the World and his reportersʼ illegal email and phone hacking intrusions into European politicians and even British Royaltiesʼ privacy in that NSA bulk Surveillance abuse- context, since it becomes clearer that illegal

12

secretive USʼs rightwing business organizationsʼ connections to the NSA bulk data were been utilized as political weapons against Progressivesʼ Interests in Europe and farer. There are additive other more concrete evidences that the ultra rightwing US version, Fox News Media, is engaged in the similar abuse of NSA technologies and Backdoors. While Fox News wealthy, neo conservative lying anchors create, guide and lead armed White Militia protests on live TV, and with CNN and other US private Corporate News organizations fomenting in their domestic TV media reports perpetual hate-crimes with their cheap banally dumb investigated excuses and media lies for conservative Caucasian American hatecriminals. Racists within the US Corporate rightwing media are among the same rich racist US Americans who secretly donate large funds to the cold-blooded racist killers of unarmed minorities in the USA via US tech Corporations aliened with the NSA, with ALEC, NRA and one-sidedly with the arch conservative rich old White American menʼs party, the discriminatingly private-public political, racist segregation policies implementing, and illegally the important Democratic separations of State and Church breaching, fanatic old, tax-evading, institutionally discriminating opportunists in US political offices, the GOP. AS A German Citizen, as a by two German and Americans owned online small business, which can prove to have been economically harmed by NSAʼs/GCHQʼs bulk surveillance programs, and as legitimate European citizens of sovereign European Nations, and as a German Minority myself, we DEMAND thus the FULL and detailed, non-redacted release of the “selectors” – 40, 000 search terms used in spying operations – the results of which were passed to the NSA to publicly be claimed by the German owners of their original data. We demand to know: a. How many Germany businesses and German residents were affected. b. What exactly was obtained via Metadata and other bulk data collections? c. Whom and what businesses and Research Institutions were the largest targets of NSA surveillance? And how do those areas connect supposedly to terrorism? d. National Security interests of the USA unlike all other sovereign Nationsʼ extends to anywhere around the Planet, but why? e. The basis for NSA interception are search terms provided by the Americans, so-called selectors, common people should be informed of such interceptions to not get caught innocently in terror watch lists leading to negative or deadly effects for European and other Minorities. f. What are the Legal Justifications for USʼs Jurisdictions excessive deep unwarranted intrusions -based on no concrete individualized and otherwise confirmed suspicions - into the privacy rights and business rights of European businesses and European citizens on European /German soil?

I understand USʼs FBI looking into me after my marriage in the USA and

13

during the first year of my immigration process to be normal bureaucratic National Security procedures. But not before, not the duration, and clearly not the later confirmed continuous FBI intrusions into my data and businessʼs privacy and businessʼs secrecy rights. The result was continuous conspired disadvantaging of European economic progress by some rightwing American crony mega Corporations aliened in ALEC for example.

FULL Transparency and EVERY German / European Citizen and legal Residents must instantly have the legal rights to – without costs – obtain full insight in what the NSA/ GCHQ data collections and the involved Corporations concretely swiped from us Europeans all. We demand the urgent an European FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) but much more far-reaching on Individual levels, where everyone certainly must have the rights to KNOW and receive all the Metadata and other details NSA and allied private Corporations collected about them. We still legally have the right s to demand to know details the STASTI collected and old German NAZI SS are still hunted throughout the Planet, but Germany, and particular Kanzlerin Frau Angela Merkel now ignoring the Worldʼs largest STASI system and private Corporations-led bulk surveillance Nazism on the Planet, makes us Germans look like the Planetʼs biggest hypocrites merely, while the NSA in alliance with CIAʼs military business arms is the one who is committing some of the most dangerous Global crime against a whole Humanity.

We understand well, considering the infinite political power, military and killing capability elements within the NSA hold to destroy peopleʼs careers and even end other peopleʼs lives hideously, thus any concrete individual resistance was for many German and European leaders at the time most very likely futile anyway, and was possible responded to with REGIN attacks, Secret “BASASS” Programs, cyber attacks, and smears .

But many things have change since Edward Snowden and a whole lot of people around the entire Planet are legally aware NSAʼs illegal bulk collection of their data, and they are becoming conscious to the Anti-Democratic, highly by race, status and religious beliefs discriminating and unlawfulness in all its form of publicly shameless private Corporationsʼ and by greedy Intellectual Properties stealing, egomaniacally self-serving Agentsʼ and Contractors severely abused surveillance programs: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/12/21/world/nsa-dragnet-included-allies-aidgroups-and-business-elite.html “President Bush and other top officials in his administration used the National Security Agency to secretly wiretap the home and office telephones and monitor

14

private email accounts of members of the United Nations Security Council in early 2003 to determine how foreign delegates would vote on a U.N. resolution that paved the way for the U.S.-led war in Iraq, NSA documents show.” http://rawstory.com/news/2005/After_domestic_spying_reports_U.S._spying_122 7.html https://firstlook.org/theintercept/2015/05/07/congress-argues-cant-investigatedinsider-trading/

International demands for SEC investigation of US congressional House of Representatives for claimed that insider trading in connections with abuse of NSA bulk surveillance data for personal enrichments are evidently a necessity.

Since evisceration of the Glass-Steagall Act in the USA made banking inseparable from graft and corruption, it's not just the banks that run the huge insider trading schemes possibly based on NSA informants or male-wares: it's also criminal cartels with the ethos of Organized Crime families. When a nation is run by those with an intent to kill (domestic, very racist, war Police ) and when it uses its highest offices to endorse torture, break too many covenants from both the US Constitution, Bill of Rights, Geneva Conventions, International Privacy and business lays as well as Human rights laws.

And when large Corporate wealth is unapologetically buying the very politicians and policies that will spread war, misery, and privation further and further while impoverishing more and more such a government has lost ALL legitimacy.

Rather than Democracy, consistence of the laws and justice, transparency and legitimacy the American Dynasty offers a Bush or a Clinton while pretending that a Democracy representing the people remains in place. Just that corporate, rich, neoconservative, “Affluent” empires driven by lunacy punish anyone who dare to expose itʼs criminal secret doing, otʼs plotting and unwarranted bulk surveillance programs: Julian Assange, Chelsea Manning, Drake, Kirakou, Snowden, Sterling and others are considered the ʻcriminalsʼ. While a whole lot of utmost dangerous criminals in uniform, in high political, military and Corporate religious and Intelligence lace are getting paid for their Global crimes against our Humanity, with full access to NSAʼs global bulk surveillance data and businesses intellectual properties. https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20150112/13585829677/course-fbi-has-beengradually-expanding-its-access-to-influence-over-nsas-data-trove.shtml FBI Flouts Obama Directive to Limit Gag Orders on National Security Letters https://firstlook.org/theintercept/2015/01/26/secret-badass-spy-program/

Why Was an FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force Tracking a Black Lives Matter Protest? https://firstlook.org/theintercept/2015/03/12/fbi-appeared-use-informant-trackblack-lives-matter-protest/ “Clearly itʼs inappropriate to be using the Joint Terrorist Task Force to monitor activists [and] the use of a CHS seems extremely inappropriate,” said Michael German, a fellow at New York Universityʼs Brennan Center for Justice and former special agent with the FBI. “The fact that theyʼre spending resources in this manner reflects poor leadership and is something that they should really take a hard look at.”

The FBI has been criticized in the recent past for its actions regarding domestic advocacy groups. A 2010 report by the Department of Justice Inspector General found the FBI opened investigations connected to organizations such as Greenpeace and the Thomas Merton Center that classified possible “trespassing or vandalism” as domestic terrorism cases. The report also found the FBIʼs National Press Office “made false and misleading statements” when questioned by the media about documents obtained by public records requests. Langfellow himself, while working as a member of a Joint Terrorism Task Force, was in charge of a 2008 raid on the home of St. Paul activists ahead of that yearʼs Republican Party Convention that led to a lawsuit that the city settled for $50,000.

Further in the past, the FBI engaged in well-known, ugly mistreatment of African American activists in particular. “Thereʼs a long history in the FBI and law enforcement generally of law enforcement agents seeing challenges to the status quo as threats to security,” said German. Documents stolen from an FBI field office in 1971 showed the Bureau was keeping literally every black student at Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania under surveillance. http://bulletin.swarthmore.edu/fall-2014-issue-1/spying-swarthmore

These in US Conservatives Statesʼ politics well-organized, and Global policies influencing arch conservative ALEC US Corporations are not required to collect the same sales tax as their brick-and-mortar competitors in most states, which alone puts most of those Climate Change denials and discriminations instituting ALEC mega Corporations illegal advantages not only against new Green/Environmental businesses, but against all competitors, national and International. The savings on tax so evaded alone almost certainly exceeded the cumulative profits of those ALEC Cartels.

Predatory pricing, skimping on product quality and environmental safety requirement, mistreatment of suppliers, and the manipulation of local communities to extract tax breaks and subsidies for factory locations all reflect the drive to upstream and tunnel all Public and Corporate returns to the conspiring, and institutionally ALEC shareholders and ALEC aliened monopolistic mega Corporations.

Evidently not everything that was in the past years reported as large-scale Hacker intrusion was authentically alone not due to Hacking activities, but rather due to NSA bulk collections: Who needs to hack into anything when back-doors are in many things, regular millions of NSA, GCHQ, CIA, FBI and US Police forces and 5 power nations with varying quasi legal access into everyoneʼs nonAmerican resident/ citizensʼ bulk data? While so many influential conservative US American politicians and lawmakers with dubious ties and even more dubious money-influence into U.S monopolistic Global-operating Corporate /Political worldʼs revolving doors of disadvantaging and defrauding of other businesses and other nationsʼ economies: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/2074069-congress-vs-sec.html President Obama will certainly proclaim and claim to “end” the bulk collection of metadata from domestic phone companies. It will just be a cheap strategy without evidences to appease the International community and the angry American people. But the legislation would still leave intrusive surveillance apparatus capable of tracking gigantic quantities of data. Some of the most sweeping programs disclosed by Mr. Snowden, particularly those focused on international communications, would remain unaffected. The N.S.A. could continue efforts to break private encryption systems, and information about Americans could still be swept up if originating overseas. Tapping data lines that go in and out of the U.S., grabbing personal information without a warrant from major content providers like Facebook and Yahoo, sweeping up all non-U.S. content possible — sometimes an entire countryʼs phone calls at a time. Breaking encryption. Installing malware. Hacking Sim cards. Tracking cellphone The still remaining Legal International question with all the pretentious domestic NSA “reform” is: What about Intellectual Property & Privacy Rights of Non-Americans and of European/ German-American small businesses like us, who are not invited party in the ALEC, or NSAʼs private Corporate Billionairesʼ league of 5 WHITE power criminal nations and privately owned Mega Corporations with limitless access? What about the verifiable FACT that criminal private US Corporations and private contracted Agents are self-serving themselves – unlike Mr. Edward Snowden and other Whistleblowers - on European and International innovations, European and immigrantsʼ inventions and research/ Intellectual Properties of others around the Globe?

This my/ our Pre-text to inquiring the probability of an European/ International Civil Right suits against my own Homeland Germany, against Madame Chancellor, and against the German BND is not an indictment of the leadership Frau Kanzlerin Doctor Angela Merkel, or of Chancellery and staff

members, nor does it indict Mr. Ernst Uhrlau President of the BND, and the leadership of the Bundes Nachrichten Dienst (BND).

But as anew small business, as new entrepreneurs and as German and U.S. American citizen individually, whom unwarranted bulk surveillance program already disadvantage in new Market, is of mandatory importance for any innovator, inventor, researcher and to any businesses not partners of the NSA private-public” reform alliance to receive legal warranty of the sovereignty of their Intellectual Property and Secrecy rights. Which, is with NSAʼs secret access and back doors into everything tech cannot be assured and will only lead to neverending Intellectual property debates.

AND we hereby also ask other German businesses, other Germans, as well as US Citizens and other Residents to join us in our lawsuit. The more, the merrier the transparency of what was obtained and what damages was done so far to the German and European Economy and European Security and our Individual German businessʼs interests and in all other peopleʼs interests. Global surveillance conducted by such institutionally discriminating and fraudulent US big business entities are harming Global innovation and Global economy, except USʼs Neoconsʼ war and Arms-sales / Spy Tech economy certainly which has grown further to give US mega Corporations near absolute monopolistic digital superiority over everyoneʼs elseʼs innovation, research, inventions and all sorts of personal and by businessesʼ yet unprotected Intellectual Properties. http://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/gchq-and-nsa-targeted-privategerman-companies-a-961444.html http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_IP-10-1624_en.htm “Internet is a market place and net neutrality ensures that ISPs don't interfere in this market place. Disturbing Net Neutrality can not only create a havoc in the online space but may affect offline business in a big way. Not only will market place activities like branding, consumer communication and consumer experience be impacted, even essential activities like consumer service and support will be affected. Big players can give better experience while the smaller ones will struggle. Startups with deep pockets will definitely have a bigger advantage. All the existing big startups have become big because of net neutrality today. Startups of the future will be at a disadvantage.

However this creates differential pricing for the same service. Thus Airtel is interfering in the marketplace. Airtel's role is streaming and not creating content.

It could be dangerous in the long run. Internet startups will definitely be affected.

FURTHER PUBLIC EVIDENCES OF BUSINESS ESPIONAGE AND ANTITRUST OFFENSES WITH NSAʼS UNWARRENTED BULK SURVEILLANCE To Gemalto, Deutsche Regierung U.S. Vertretung, Dutch Regierung Attn: T-Mobile Privacy Officer 1320 N. Courthouse Road, 9th Floor Arlington, VA 22201 Email: privacyoffice@verizon.com To Whom This May Appear: I am writing as a customer in good standing, who routinely in past 6 years used my personal T-Mobile Wireless smart phone (317-521-6647) to conduct business in Ohio and via Skype-WIFI elsewhere around the world. Under the terms underlying similar online businessesʼ as ourʼs contracts with various businesses and governmental agencies, they are often required to accept standard confidentiality and security incident disclosure clauses that are intended to protect the interests of their clients.

20

Iʼm certain you, T-Mobile USA, take these legal commitments very seriously, too. Based on many stories that have appeared in the news media over the past two years, including the SIM card hacking revelations published today in The Intercept (https://firstlook.org/theintercept/2015/02/19/great-sim-heist), I have begun to seriously doubt whether I can continue to rely on T-Mobile to conduct my private and confidential business communications.

Therefore, I am writing to request your response to the following questions: 1. Can T-Mobile confirm that my personally identifiable information (i.e., content or non-content customer selectors associated with my account) was NOT delivered by T-Mobile to the US Government, pursuant to any Law Enforcement Demand, National Security Letter, or FISA-issued order, during or between the years 2010, 2011 up to 2014?

1. Can T-Mobile confirm that the encryption of my SIM card has NOT been compromised at some point in the supply chain (i.e., prior to my purchase of it), for example as in the manner described in the article cited above and in the pdf below regarding the “Equation Group”? http://25zbkz3k00wn2tp5092n6di7b5k.wpengine.netdnacdn.com/files/2015/02/Equation_group_questions_and_answers.pdf 1. http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/new-snowden-docs-indicatescope-of-nsa-preparations-for-cyber-battle-a-1013409.html 2. As a German immigrant and new-entrepreneur to Ohio, USA, I am particular interested in any FBI related surveillance which might have endangered my small businessʼs interests, and led to U.S. Corporate infringements of my small businessʼs intellectual property. And as my FOIA request already shows, there was a period of unwarranted surveillance of my small business.

While I realize it may be burdensome to respond to such individual customer requests, please understand that T-Mobileʼs failure to provide me with satisfactory confirmation will give me no choice but to conclude that it is no longer “commercially reasonable” to rely on T-Mobile Wireless for my confidential business communications.

Never mind that some of those racist assholes within the (Ohio ) FBI/ Police forces abused NSA bulk surveillance to steal innovations from Europe and to discriminate foreigners/ immigrants in business too should be illegal: http://www.scribd.com/doc/264509400/NSA-decision https://firstlook.org/theintercept/2015/05/11/dear-oil-industry-energy-secretary-seeksarctic-advice-petrol-profiteers/

The US has committed to upholding human rights under several treaties, including the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (“ICCPR”), the Convention against Torture, and the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, upholding the bights to privacy and free expression, but BREACHED all of them with regularity on global levels and even more worse - in International private BUSINESS affairs. Ergo, the Universal Periodic Review (“UPR”) of the UN Human Rights Council needs to URGENTLY determine such racism-infested, Surveillance States, quasi legally arming up of White American extremists while disarming and shooting unarmed minorities declared by old US KKK-lite Judges as justified killing, and the domestic and foreign killing-fests of US ultra Neoconservative private Corporations run as big business, as the overall illegal human rights abuse, as one of the two most deadliest existing Apartheid State http://inthesetimes.com/article/17909/ferguson_baltimore_police_repression

These deeply racist conspiring and frauds-filled Corporations' interests collide with the economic and Anti-War interests of the European Union as well as that of the UN, as already the extreme migration waves US's perpetual drone bombing of the Middle East, of Asia and North Africa is leading flooding toward Europe. The rise of rightwing extremism in Europe and Assault Rifles-armed Terrorism are partially also the creation and co-funded by those sorts of ultra conservative Arms, Carbon and mass surveillance, mass incarceration military private Corporations.

There are mounting various public evidences of rightwing US Policeʼs abuse of NSA bulk surveillance technology and entrapment particular against minority, or progressive protesters and environmental activists. http://inthesetimes.com/working/entry/17908/after_freddie_gray_protests_baltimo re_unions_demand_end_to_trickle_down_nei

5. Make “Friends” and “Follow” People.

Considered “open source intelligence” (or “OSINT”), social media networks like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube have proven veritable gold mines for intelligence analysts attempting to track protest events in real time. They have also provided police detectives with a rationale to question individual protesters about their political activities.

Just last week, we learned that amid the protests in New York City following the acquittal of the officers who killed Eric Garner, at least 11 arrestees were interrogated in this manner prior to their release from police headquarters, including several who were asked explicitly about their online activities on social media sites. As Deputy Commissioner Lawrence Byrne tells it, when detectives started seeing threats on social media, “The Detective Bureau began a process of interviewing defendants arrested during the protests… in an attempt to obtain information about the specific acts… as well as the general threat environment relating to such acts.”

Since 2012, the NYPDʼs Intelligence Division has officially encouraged its employees to engage in “catfishing” on social media sites “for investigative or research purposes,” which, with the permission of police brass, may include “investigations involving political activity.” Increasingly, such catfishing has become common practice among police and private security forces nationwide.

In Bloomington, Minnesota, for example, intelligence analysts working for the Mall of Americaʼs Risk Assessment and Mitigation unit and in conjunction with members of the local Joint Terrorism Task Force (a collaborative intelligence operation anchored by the FBI) reportedly used fake Facebook accounts to build dossiers on at least 10 area activists. This was ahead of a protest on police accountability (or the lack of it) slated to take place on Mall of America property.

The Department of Homeland Security, for its part, continues to develop its Media Monitoring Capability to impressive effect, “leveraging news stories, media reports and postings on social media sites… for operationally relevant data, information, analysis, and imagery” including “partisan or agenda-driven sites” as well as those that “reflect adversely on DHS.” Many of the nationʼs “fusion centers,” set up in the aftermath of 9/11 to encourage collaboration among intelligence agencies, have partnered with social media sites to monitor Occupystyle activism. “Such websites can provide crucial information during civil unrest,” notes Dale Peet, a veteran of Michiganʼs statewide fusion center and now an employee of SAS, a private firm that performs social media analytics for the state.”

23

US agency's determination or itʼs own unwarranted bulk surveillance programs it never should have initiated resulted in no "adverse effects.”; which is evidently far from the truth considering FOIA Appeal Case : CRCL 14-013 (Endres Projectheureka) and OGIS No. 201500010 .

And these otherwise for Germany and Europe resulting facts and so far known damages to date: https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20150512/07452930973/wikileaksreleases-transcript-german-inquiry-into-growing-nsa-spy-scandal.shtml “Sigmar Gabriel, the deputy chancellor and economy minister, who is also the leader of the SPD, upped the ante still further by relaying a conversation he had with Merkel in which he asked her twice if the government had evidence of economic espionage, and she said no. He added that if it emerged Germany had been involved in helping the NSA spy on companies, it would greatly strain relations between business and the government and “put a large burden on the trust the economy has in government behaviour”.http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/may/06/angela-merkelpressure-reveal-us-spying-agreement-nsa According to an internal NSA presentation from 2008, the program is a productive espionage tool. Starting with the metadata -- or information about which data connections were made and when -- it is able, for instance, to retroactively reveal any terms the target person has typed into a search engine, the documents show. In addition, the system is able to receive a "full take" of all unfiltered data over a period of several days -- including, at least in part, the content of communications.

This is relevant from a German perspective, because the documents show that of the up to 500 million data connections from Germany accessed monthly by the NSA, a major part is collected with XKeyScore (for instance, around 180 million in December 2012). The BND and BfV, when contacted by SPIEGEL, would not discuss the espionage tool. The NSA, as well, declined to comment, referring instead to the words of US President Barack Obama during his visit to Berlin and saying there was nothing to add.

Furthermore, the documents show that the cooperation of the German intelligence agencies with the NSA has recently intensified. Reference is made to the "eagerness and desire" of BND head Gerhard Schindler. "The BND has been working to influence the German government to relax interpretation of the privacy laws to provide greater opportunities of intelligence sharing," the NSA noted in January. Over the course of 2012, German partners had shown a "willingness to take risks and to pursue new opportunities for cooperation with the US."

24

In Afghanistan, it says elsewhere in the document, the BND had even proved to be the NSA's "most prolific partner" when it came to information gathering. The relationship is also close on a personal level: At the end of April, just a few weeks before the first revelations by former intelligence agency employee Edward Snowden, a 12-member high-level BND delegation was invited to the NSA to meet with various specialists on the subject of "data acquisition." http://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/german-intelligence-agencies-usednsa-spying-program-a-912173.html “In April 2002, a "Memorandum of Agreement" -- a six-page document with more than 70 pages of addendums -- laid the foundations for a new and particularly close level of cooperation. It included provisions for a new eavesdropping alliance and was intended to prevent Germans or Americans in Germany from being spied on. Data tapped from Europe was only to be used in instances of a clear terror threat. The partners provided mutual assurances that each would have oversight of the assignments. Over the years, however, it appears that the terms of the agreement were largely forgotten.

One of the American's best-performing listening posts in Europe was the antenna facility at Bad Aibling, which the US built and officially turned over to the BND in 2004. Secretly laid cables lead from the facility to the nearby Mangfall Barracks, where the BND has since covertly conducted large-scale monitoring of satellite communications.

The Americans set up their operations on the barracks property within view of the radomes. They built a large, black, windowless building connected to the NSA data network by fiber optic cable. The barracks is also home to the so-called Special US Liaison Activity Germany (SUSLAG), the liaison office between the NSA and the BND.

With the Americans' help, the BND, from Bad Aibling, has been intercepting huge numbers of signals from crisis regions around the world for more than 10 years now. Telephone calls, emails and text messages are all intercepted. The basis for this interception is, not least, search terms provided by the Americans, socalled selectors. New lists are downloaded from American servers each day, with a sum of 4.6 million such terms downloaded as of 2015. BND technicians then feed the selectors into the system for their colleagues at the NSA. The results are forwarded to the NSA. http://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/bnd-intelligence-scandal-puts

Further Publicly Available Evidences Against “ALEC” Regarding Right-wing Corporate Churches Politicized Public “Reform”, Minorities & Business Discrimination & Antitrust Offenses:

IF the Billionaire Koch Brothers, ALEC and the (Ohio) GOP /Tea party ideological loons repeatedly keep telling the American people government and overregulations is the problem. Then they are actually very right, as they are far tight off their rockers. They are right; the problem is their present and dominance in the so “too big” made government, and, intelligent and public “regulations”. Or better said - the lack thereof of intelligent and public regulations /polices which the NRA ALEC GOP in nearly all areas imposed – is in-deed the problem, as well, as the following publicly available information about ALEC, and more will show: OSU prof not a fan of privatization either: An Ohio State University professor has taken to the Chronicle of Higher Education to sarcastically praise the school's privatization push. Steven Conn, director of OSU's public-history program, suggests the school change its Latin motto from Disciplina In Civitatem, or Education for Citizenship, to Omnia Venduntur!, or Everything Is for Sale! "And by 'open for business' I mean: Make us an offer for something, and weʼll sell it to you like a pair of pants at a department-store closeout," he writes, recounting deals to only sell Coke

26

products on campus, the parking-privatization deal with QIC Global Infrastructure that was in the news again last week after the firm hired OSO CFO Geoff Chatas, and the latest plan to privatize Ohio State's energy infrastructure. "At OSU weʼre becoming our own private-equity firm," Conn said. "Weʼre selling off our own assets in order to make a big profit for some private-investment company. Thatʼs how we fulfill our land-grant mission in the 21st century – making tons of money for a bunch of Aussies."

The American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC): Under public pressure to sever ties from a group that opposes government action on climate change, several of the ALEC's major members in the tech sector - Google, Yelp, Microsoft, Facebook, and Yahoo - recently announced that they were joining dozens of other corporations and dropping their ALEC memberships. Google Chairman Eric Schmidt wasnʼt shy about linking ALEC to climate change skeptics when he told NPR that the group is "literally lying" about the issue.

The recent midterm elections, however, have blown the wind back into ALEC's sails. Republicans won control of the Senate, 11 state legislatures and three governorships. Republicans now hold the majority in 68 out of 98 partisan state legislatures, the highest number in the GOP's history. This political climate is perfect for ALEC, which is celebrating the rightward shift as "a clear mandate for limited government, free market advocates across the country." Although its operations were once veiled in secrecy, the group's purpose is now well known, and it has the Obama administration's historic plan to reduce pollution and fight climate change placed squarely in its crosshairs.

ALEC Wants Congress to Dissolve the EPA Hundreds of state lawmakers, most of them Republican, are ALEC members, but nearly 98 percent of its income comes from dozens of wealthy corporations, trade groups and corporate foundations, according to the Center for Media and Democracy. ALEC brings together state lawmakers, right-wing think tanks and lobbyists for some of the world's most powerful corporations to vote on model bills to be introduced in state legislatures across the country.

That's exactly what ALEC is doing this week in at a policy summit in Washington, DC, and the agenda has environmentalists up in arms. ALEC draft proposals don't stop at hampering the Obama administration's efforts to reduce the nation's carbon emissions along with smog and dangerous air pollutants - ALEC even proposes a "model policy" to urge Congress to dump the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) altogether.

27

"The agenda really reads like a wish list for dirty energy companies," said Aliya Haq of the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC).

Which dirty energy companies? Major fossil fuel and energy firms like Exxon Mobile, Koch Industries, Transcanda, Peabody Energy and Chevron, to name a few.

Haq said that, despite the very public exodus of the tech firms from its membership over climate concerns, ALEC is "actually escalating" its attack on environmental reforms. Haq said the proposal to abolish the federal EPA and replace it with a committee of state regulators is "fairly ludicrous," but it is an indication that ALEC may becoming even more extreme.

Blocking Federal Climate Change Efforts This political climate is perfect for ALEC, which is celebrating the rightward shift as "a clear mandate for limited government, free market advocates across the country." Although its operations were once veiled in secrecy, the group's purpose is now well known, and it has the Obama administration's historic plan to reduce pollution and fight climate change placed squarely in its crosshairs.

Antitrust advantages. And there are other concrete public evidences that influential Neoconservative elements within US IRS (Internal Tax Revenue Agency) are abusing their high position to discriminate against mainly progressive, minorities -run and /or foreigners-led (small) businesses. As opposite to the ongoing looking away when USʼs multinational “too big to fail “mega Corporations engaged in the largest tax evasion schemes of our times, called Luxembourg Leaks by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists,. Including them the Prime Minister of Luxembourg at the time JeanClaude Junker (by the way now President of the European Union), a group of investigative Journalists and employee from PricewaterhouseCooper (PwC) , U.S.ʼs fifth largest Corporations operating in countless countries. http://www.icij.org/project/luxembourg-leaks/explore-documentsluxembourg-leaks-database

Some of these companies are Pepsi, The Walt Disney Co., Deloitte, Earnest & Young, Koch Industries, AIG, Deutsche Bank and parts of the Canadian Government. http://www.icij.org/project/luxembourg-leaks/koch-industries-mysteriousinternal-bank-switzerland

This is the very same Koch Industries which funds most arch conservative and discriminating US policies and dictates the so-called rightwing ALEC policy legislators via the Dark-money of itʼs conspiring rightwing member Corporations.

ALEC is so more a secret sect of antitrust infringing, corrupted Neoconservative USʼs mega Corporations led by self-serving sudo-politicians who funnel large public funds into buying law-makers, judges and juries and to fund the private Corporations and the Executive Corporate positions they later occupy. Same revolving door expense into the conservative leadership of the National Security Agencies with the same ALEC and other secret “private-public” Neoconservative US organizationsʼ revolving doors from government into Corporations and back:

29

“AT&T told an investor that its main focus within the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) has been on "state legislation aimed at achieving a favorable business climate."

A spokesman for BP said the company participates in ALEC "to help educate policy makers about energy and natural resource issues that affect our business."

Pfizer said it continues its membership in ALEC because the company and its stakeholders "have benefited directly from the organization's model legislation," including efforts to protect drug patents and repeal a controversial physician advisory board set up by the Affordable Care Act.

ALEC brings together about 200 state lawmakers, most of them Republicans, and a long list of wealthy corporations, trade groups and other members of the private sector to discuss public policy and draft model bills to be considered by state legislatures. In 2012, Common Cause and the Center for Media in Democracy filed a whistleblower complaint with the IRS, claiming that ALEC's activities amount to lobbying on behalf of its corporate members, and therefore ALEC is ripping off taxpayers by filing as a tax-exempt charity group.

Common Cause announced that it was submitting a new round of evidence to the IRS showing that ALEC does not qualify as a 501(c)3 nonprofit charity because, under federal law, "no substantial part" of such a charity's activity can "be attempting to influence legislation. Corporations have the right to lobby, but it's simply wrong for large, multinational corporations to do it under the table, through ALEC, and then stick taxpayers with the bill by claiming a tax write-off for their funding. Evidence in the group's latest submission to the IRS includes statements by 20 corporations admitting that they maintained an ALEC membership to influence legislation and gain access to lawmakers, according to Common Cause.

The statements are drawn from letters and emails from top corporate officials that appear to be written in response to inquiries from shareholders and Common Cause researchers concerning ALEC's positions on climate change and other policy areas. Many of the statements point out that, while corporate members don't necessarily agree with all of ALEC's conservative policy positions, their

30

membership has helped them advance their political goals. Some of the statements, such as one from Anheuser-Busch, are brief and vague, however, and do not directly mention lawmakers or legislation.

Last year, environmental activists pressured businesses to distance themselves from ALEC because the group has alleged ties to climate change deniers and has produced model legislation aimed at blocking environmental regulations and the implementation of new federal carbon emission standards. In the wake of this call by advocacy groups, dozens of major companies including Google, Yelp, Microsoft and Facebook canceled their ALEC memberships.

In March, ALEC sent letters to Common Cause, CREDO and the League of Conservation Voters threatening legal action if the groups failed to retract statements implying that ALEC denies climate change. ALEC claims that it has recognized for years that human activity has impacts on the climate. https://firstlook.org/theintercept/2015/05/11/dear-oil-industry-energy-secretary-seeksarctic-advice-petrol-profiteers/

"This whistleblower supplement is unrelated to our dispute with ALEC on climate issues," Rapoport said, referring to the new evidence supplementing the 2012 complaint. "But I hope that with todayʼs filing, ALEC gets the message that we will not be deterred from working to expose its activities."

On its website, ALEC claims that its state legislators control the model legislation process, although all ALEC members from the public and private sectors are invited to share their views on public policy at meetings and conferences. ALEC's critics, however, point out that a vast majority of the group's funding comes in the form of donations from member corporations, trade groups and corporate foundations. Lawmakers have enjoyed posh accommodations at ALEC conferences and even "scholarships" that pay for lavish travel expenses such as cigar parties and professional sports games.

"Though ALEC claims that it is now a legislator-driven, bottom-up enterprise, our evidence shows that the corporations underwriting ALEC continue to drive its legislative priorities and do so to benefit their bottom lines," said Lisa Graves, executive director of the Center for Media and Democracy. "ALEC operates for the private gain of its corporate funders like a trade group, offering them one-stop shopping for lawmakers nationwide."

Since its critics began exposing its tax schemes, ALEC has made some changes

31

on its most recent tax forms and taken responsibility for the "scholarship" fund used to pay for legislator travel, according to Common Cause. ALEC even formed its own official lobbying arm in 2013, called the Jeffersonian Project, which files separately under a different tax status. Common Cause, however, contends that this just proves ALEC has been lying to the IRS and the public for years while continuing to put "$0" on the line designating lobbying expenses when it files with the IRS. The IRS, however, has not responded to any of Common Cause's complaints, and it remains unclear if the agency has investigated ALEC or plans to in the future. An attorney for the group said that IRS policy prevents agency officials from providing those who file whistleblower complaints with status updates on any related investigations.

When asked if there is reason to believe that the IRS has remained silent for political reasons because the agency has taken fire for allegedly targeting conservative nonprofits in the past, Common Cause spokesman Dale Eisman told Truthout that the group does not want to speculate on the reasons for the "apparent delay."

“ALEC has a new executive director, Lisa Britton Nelson, who is a former lobbyist for Visa and AOL Time Warner -- both of which have had ties to ALEC -- and also worked with Newt Gingrich and GOPAC. Several new companies also recently joined its "Private Enterprise Advisory Council": NetChoice, the National Federation of Independent Business, and K12 Inc. Speakers at ALEC's annual meeting will include Texas Governor Rick Perry, former Wall Street Journal editorial board member Stephen Moore, and Newt Gingrich. "Policy workshops" include instructions on "How to Think and Talk About Climate and Energy Issues," "Energy Exports: A Free Market Economic Stimulus to Create Jobs and Grow the Economy," "EPA's Proposed Carbon Emissions Rulemaking — What Does it Mean to States?" and more of the increasingly frequent attempts to spin efforts to limit the anti-democratic effects of unlimited political spending by billionaires and corporations as "Silencing Opposing Views: Attacks on Free Speech and Private Charitable Giving."

ALEC's "Justice Performance Project," which appears to have taken on many of the roles of the "Public Safety and Elections Task Force" that ALEC shuttered in the wake of the controversy following the death of Trayvon Martin, will discuss

32

"efficiently engaging the public-private partnership with the surety bail industry."

In other words, how to enrich bounty hunters.

Also at this year's meeting, ALEC's task forces will consider bills to make it virtually impossible to enroll in Medicaid, expand charter schools to further bankrupt traditional public schools, expand exports of "natural gas" from fracking, and undermine the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Clean Air and Clean Water Act regulations.

Draft bills to be voted on by lobbyists alongside state legislators at the coming annual meeting include: Changing Laws Providing for Public Education

•

The "Affordable Baccalaureate Degree Act" would enrich companies invested in online college degree programs and materials -- like Pearson (whose subsidiary Connections Education has been a prominent member of ALEC's Education Task Force), which sells the LearningStudio platform used by many universities like Arizona State University's popular and much-hyped online degree program. It would "require all pubic [sic] fouryear universities to offer bachelor's degrees costing no more than $10,000, total, for four years of tuition, fees, and books. The Act would require that ten percent of all public, four-year university degrees awarded reach this price-point within four years of passage of this act." The bill instructs universities to focus on online and blended learning "to achieve this pricepoint."

•

The "Public Charter Schools Act" would expand on ALEC's pre-existing "Next Generation Charter Schools Act" and enrich ALEC members like K12, Inc., the nation's largest provider of online charter schools or cyber schools. It would allow privately-operated charter schools to continue taking public funds, but without public accountability. The bill would give charter schools carte blanche to operate without being "subject to the state's education statutes or any state or local rule, regulation, policy, or procedure relating to non-charter public schools within an applicable local school district..."

•

The related "Public Charter Schools Funding Act" restates charters' autonomy from the rule of law and democratically-elected school boards while still giving each charter school "one hundred percent" of the state and federal education funding "calculated pursuant to the state's funding formula for school districts."

33

Changing Laws Protecting the Environment •

ALEC will consider a resolution urging the EPA to "defer adopting any redefinition of the waters of the U.S. rule." The EPA has proposed a rule to clarify protection for streams and wetlands under the Clean Water Act in order to reduce confusion, save businesses time and money, and help states protect their waters. ALEC's draft bill suggests that this redefinition "could significantly increase the cost and regulatory requirements for state and local governments and ultimate the costs for state and local residents and businesses." According to the EPA, however, the proposal doesn't expand protection to any waters that haven't historically been covered under the Clean Water Act.

•

Not just ALEC's "Energy, Environment, and Agriculture Task Force" will be talking about the regulation of bodies of water, however. Its "Federal Relations (Federalism) Working Group" will consider a "Draft State Constitutional 'Water is Life Amendment'" that would encourage the State to resist federal enforcement of federal regulations seeking to protect state waters. It would also make the proposed constitutional change "enforceable in the courts of this State by any taxpaying resident without fee, expense or cost-shifting to the State," although what entity would bear the cost is unclear.

•

ALEC will also consider a resolution to endorse "expanded markets for LNG [liquefied natural gas] exports from the United States" and pushing for "regulatory and legislative policies designed to streamline and simplify the permitting process." The policy completely ignores the drastic environmental impacts of the hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, process often used to extract the gas.

Changing Laws Providing Healthcare •

The "Medicaid Anti-Crowd-Out Act" is a particularly egregious bill that would benefit private health insurance companies by prohibiting a state "from causing or allowing Medicaid enrollment or Medicaid HMO enrollment in any situation where individuals and/or dependents have availability of commercial healthcare insurance or are already enrolled in commercial healthcare insurance" (emphasis added). Jon Peacock, Research Director of Wisconsin Council on Children and Families, said of the draft bill, "It would make anyone with an offer of employer insurance ineligible for Medicaid, regardless of how poor they are and how narrow or expensive the insurance plan is. And the proposal is so poorly drafted that it would seem to make everyone ineligible for Medicaid -- because everyone has 'availability of commercial healthcare insurance.' This might 34

be the most poorly drafted, overly broad piece of legislation I've ever seen."

•

The "Requiring Legislative Approval for Medicaid Expansion Act" would keep state governors from being able to make the decision of whether or not to accept Medicaid expansion, instead requiring the state legislature to approve any expansion. This has been a controversial issue in many states since the passage of the Affordable Care Act.

Changing Laws Protecting the Insured •

The "Property Insurance Claims Act," on which both the Civil Justice and Commerce, Insurance, and Economic Development Task Forces will vote, tilts the playing field in favor of property insurance companies. It would benefit those companies that are represented by the ALEC member Property Casualty Insurers Association of America (PCIAA). The bill would restrict the time frame for the insured to bring a claim, require the insured to submit to mandatory appraisal, and cut back existing law protecting property owners in many states. PCIAA's vice president of state government relations, Joe Woods, is the private sector co-chair of the Financial Services Subcommittee of the Commerce task force, which will vote on the bill first.

Changing Criminal Justice Laws •

The "Resolution in Support of Post-Release Supervision of Offenders" expands parole, or post-release supervision, and would benefit ALEC member the American Bail Coalition, the trade group for the for-profit bail industry. ALEC already pushes bills to put for-profit bail bondsmen in the position of supervising individuals on parole or post-conviction release through its "Conditional Post-Conviction Release Act." (In fact, ALEC reapproved this bill in December 2013, after the dissolution of its "Public Safety and Elections Task Force" in 2012.) This new resolution would call for more inmates to be released with supervision, rather than on their own recognizance, thus expanding the market for private bounty hunters in states where ALEC's earlier bill has already become law. This resolution will be discussed by ALEC's "Justice Performance Project," yet another indication that it is taking on the roles of the shuttered "Public Safety and Elections Task Force." http://www.prwatch.org/news/2014/07/12549/alec-agenda-dallasevisceration-medicaid-privatization-public-schools-expansion-gasexports

ALEC Politicians Caught Plagiarizing ALEC Bill, Drafting Error and All

By Brendan Fischer, PRWatch | Report ALEC Opposes Efforts to Combat Climate Change at All Costs

By Mike Ludwig, Truthout | News Analysis ALEC Fumes: Transparency Threatens Corporate Free Speech!

By Brendan Fischer, PR Watch | Report

The International legality of such above described revolving doors - from domestic as well as International small businesses and Minoritiesʼ point of view who are NOT involved in such Corporate Antitrust infringing sects - considering the deep publicly known corruption of the Koch Brothers and ALEC alone ongoing in the USA is highly doubtful if adequately independently investigated, and all existing evidences are intelligently and accurately publicly reviewed.

Including my secret audio video recordings of the past years in the corrupt and discriminating Antitrust infringing Neoconservatives religious-fanatic discriminating private corporate leaders led business World here in Ohio. I hold evidence to prove beyond any doubt that ALEC is a dangerous Anti-minorities acting and deciding ultra rightwing Corporate lobby group, not a charity, and clearly not as a 501(c)3 organization. Nor is ALEC any way legitimate nor adequate organization which should reside over the “reform” of US public education, over mass incarceration and racist gun-laws and corrupt data keeping responsible for the growing willful harm cause onto countless innocent minorities and low-income Whites alike by such ALEC discrimination put into National and private business policies.

36

There are various publicly known reasons similar to the information indicated above, to suspect excessive institutional discrimination of minority students, and an illegal, near monopolistic situation of the businesses involved in the (Ohio) public education reform, such as Pearson, ALEC, et al.

Independent of these evidences, I hold various secret audio/video recordings which proves illegal antitrust cohesion among some Ohio based corporations and other Ohio leaders to discriminate against certain minoritiesʼ and Anthropogenic Climate change-oriented new startups in Ohio, as my collected documents and secretly made audio video recordings over the past 6 years here in Ohio will show in Courts and in the International media: Discrimination in Ohio is institutional from the million Dollars-making idiotic rightwing mega political Corporate top down to the food stamp recipient. And the ongoing privatization of everything-discrimination going on right now is evidently only benefitting the fraudulent conspiring, religious ideological, nepotistic ethnocentric discriminating Neoconservative private Mega Corporate leaders and big investors in Ohio only.

The evidences of deep discriminations of minorities in the conservative States across the USA are undeniable and can not be lied away any more considering the public and not-so public evidences.

The above mention arguments, news reports and audio/video evidences, and more, are the main reason for this First Draft of a Civil Rights & Discrimination Complaints (OCR Docket # 15-15-1248) against CPS, Cincinnati Education Board Members/ Ohio School Boards, and Ohioʼs Public Schoolʼs “Private-Public” Entities, Against The Rightwing Private ALEC Corporations named, against the RFRA State of Ohio. And in Particular against the Institutional discrimination of Ohioʼs minorities, special needs & low income students, and against Public school teachers

37

leading Mega Churches- led, partisan GOP Political Action Committee “ALEC”, and the Criminal Racist old KKK Arms dealer Organization NRA, and their illegal Influences into Ohioʼs Public School System and their Antitrust infringing manipulations of the National and international Free market, and Ohioʼs public education sector solely for the advantages and most-likely personal enrichment of some select involved Ohio GOP members. While some of them fund the hate-drime murderers of unarmed Afro-American and poor Caucasian Americans secretly.

Why a Statewide, National, as well as International Civil Rights and Criminal Investigation on the US conservative Statesʼ governmentalbusiness organization ALEC, NRA, and similar GOP-led “private-public” PACS and the ALEC Corporations involved in Ohio and elsewhere USA highly URGEND!
