WE HAVE SUBMITTED AND LAUNCHED THE INTERNATIONAL INVESTIGATIONS ON THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY, GOOGLE, FACEBOOK, TESLA, THE PAYPAL MAFIA, AND THE POLITICIANS THEY BRIBED. OVER 120 GOVERNMENT INVESTIGATIONS IN MANY NATIONS ARE NOW IN- PROCESS USING DEEP INSIDE EVIDENCE ON THESE SUSPECTS. THE SUSPECTS WILL EITHER BE TERMINATED OR THEY WILL PAY OUR DAMAGES. THERE ARE NO OTHER OPTIONS NOW AVAILABLE TO THEM. THE BIGGER THEY ARE, THE HARDER THEY FALL! The following information is from main-stream news outlets corroborated by teams of thousands of researchers, FBI reports and published court records: 1 A REPORT TO THE FBI, DOJ, SEC, FTC, EU, FTC, AG'S, CONGRESS, AND RELATED AGENCIES. OUR DEMANDS-FOR-ARRESTS AND DAMAGES RECOVERY 2 CONGRESSIONAL CORRUPTION - FROM SOLYNDRA TO JEFFREY EPSTEIN THE ROAD TO POLITICAL BRIBERY & PERVERSION SUMMARY: CITIZENS AND INVESTIGATORS HAVE JOINED TOGETHER TO END THESE POLITICAL STOCK MARKET BRIBES, CRIMINAL CRONY PAYOLA SCHEMES AND STATE-SPONSORED ATTACKS ON CITIZENS OPERATED BY THIS CARTEL OF PUBLIC OFFICIALS AND SICKO TECH BILLIONAIRES (Updated Daily On A Crowd-Sourced Basis) You may have heard about the sex scandals, tax evasion charges, stock market rigging, anti-trust violating rackets, election news shadow-banning, political bribes and vast numbers of other crimes that Jeffrey Epstein, Elon Musk, Larry Page, John Podesta, Reid Hoffman, Vinod Khosla, David Plouffe, Steve Jurvetson, Ed Buck, Tim Draper, George Soros, Jared Cohen, Steve Spinner, David Drummond, Eric Schmidt, Steve Westly, John Doerr and their associates engaged in. "Imagine 300 Harvey Weinstein's and Jeffrey Epstein's! That is The Silicon Valley Mob!" Most of the Silicon Valley tech oligarchs and Palo Alto Sandhill Road insiders are: paying bribes to senators and other politicians; sex trafficking; extorting interns; cheating on personal and company taxes, cheating on wives and girlfriends; addicted to drugs and alcohol; beholden to a homo-erotic bromance frat house rape-culture; violating anti-trust laws, black-listing those they do not like "the look of"; racists; misogynists; hiring character assassins and defamation bloggers to attack others; manipulating elections; abusing the private data of the public; sociopaths and a narcissists; sabotaging and spying on his competitors and, generally, elitist criminals. You may have seen photo's like this where they "pretend" to be murdering Chicago gangsters and refer to themselves as a "Mafia": 3 In their own emails, texts and recordings they refer to collusion, conspiracy and organized crime activities which they plan, among each other, using their K Street lobby offices, Goldman Sachs bundlers and crooked high tech mega law firms to carry out the dirty work, bribes, sex cult/trafficking and black-lists. They are more than collegiate frat house rape-culture residue. They are mobsters in khaki pants. They are sick, sociopath, criminals! They were not just pretending, they were, and are, doing the crimes! These mobsters owned, controlled, staffed, insider-traded, reviewed and directed the U.S. Department of Energy, The California AG, Controller and Governor's office, The EPA, DOJ and other government agencies If you created a business model and launched it into the market first BUT you don’t go to the Silicon Valley cartel’s frat boy parties, sex trafficking dealers, drug dealers, frat houses, bribery lobbyists, corrupt politicians or men’s clubs, you get black-listed, ostracized, hit-jobbed, attacked, crony blockaded, spied on and IP copied. The FBI, SEC, FEC, FTC and DOJ should indict them but these sociopath, sex-trafficking, frat boys pay epic bribes to top agency officials in order to avoid prosecution! These self-aggrandizing, arrogant, elitist, narcissist, TED-addicted, douche-bags are the bane of the world! They must be totally exposed, doxed and indicted! These are some of the people that conspire; via law firms, lobbyists and Black Cube/Fusion GPS-type operatives, to violate Democracy for their own egotistical perversions. They are enabled by the bubble- 4 like echo-chamber which they create around themselves and their massive wind-fall profits produced by their collusion. They rationalize their actions by a self-delusional belief in a "greater good" that their investment bankers whisper in their ears. These people have vast multi-million dollar personal PR and hype machine advertising services which have been hired, by each, to promote their image as "tech Jesus's". While each presents a smiley TED-Hype public face, they are funding and directing political attackers, defamation services, Gawker/Gizmodo/Fusion GPS attacks on competitors, character assassinations and other black-tech crimes. Behind the scenes, their deeds are dark and covert Why won't federal law enforcement arrest them? Because they own people like James Comey, Eric Holder and the top bosses IN THE GOVERNMENT! SILICON VALLEY TECH BOSSES, AND THE POLITICIANS THEY BRIBE, ARE AN "ORGANIZED CRIME CARTEL"! Revealed: Corrupt US senators Feinstein, Reid, Pelosi, Harris invest in tech firms that they are supposed to regulate and sabotage their competitors using taxpayer resources! - FEINSTEIN, REID, PELOSI, HARRIS sabotaged their constituents: ZAP Motors, Aptera, XP, Limnia, Groupon, BizRate and others in order to protect their stock in YouTube, Alphabet, Tesla, Solyndra and other crony insiders! STATE and FEDERAL AGENCY bosses, who also owned the stock in these companies, helped them do it. Federal bosses Steven Chu, Michelle Lee, Steven Rattner were massive stock manipulators and insider trading operators! - Greedy bitch politicians even hired Fusion GPS, Black Cube and Gawker/Gizmodo Media to run character assassination attacks on their business competitors! - CALIFORNIA AND NEVADA DEMOCRAT POLITICIANS HOLD THE LARGEST CORRUPT DARK MONEY POLITICAL PAYOLA CONDUIT PAYOLA CIRCLES IN THE WORLD! - When Feinstein tells Perkins Coie or Covington to "Kill Them"...How far will those crooked contractors go? US Senate Analysis of financial disclosure data shows 51 senators and their spouses have as much as $96m invested in corporate stocks 5 As they set national policy on important issues such as climate change, tech monopolies, medical debt and income inequality, US senators have glaring conflicts of interest, an investigation by news website Sludge and the Guardian can reveal. An analysis of personal financial disclosure data as of 16 August has found that 51 senators and their spouses have as much as $96m personally invested in corporate stocks in five key sectors: communications/electronics; defense; energy and natural resources; finance, insurance and real estate; and health. The majority of these stocks come from public companies, and some are private. Overall, the senators are invested in 338 companies – including tech firms such as Apple and Microsoft, oil and gas giants including ExxonMobil and Antero Midstream, telecom companies including Verizon, and major defense contractors such as Boeing – in the five sectors as categorized by Sludge. Congressional financial disclosures present investments in dollar ranges, not exact amounts, so all data in this report comes in ranges, some very wide. The median stock investment range in the five sectors for the 51 senators is between $100,000 and $365,000, while the average range of the investments is between $551,000 and nearly $1,874,000. Not only are the senators far wealthier than most of their constituents, but they’re in a prime position to increase their wealth via policymaking. It’s not illegal for members of Congress to have personal financial stakes in the industries on which they legislate. But such investments raise questions about lawmakers’ motivations. If a representative on the House financial services committee owns hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of stock in Bank of America, how might this investment affect their questioning of Bank of America’s CEO in a hearing? Could it influence how they legislate and vote on banking issues? While some members of Congress do try to limit possible conflicts of interest others claim their personal finances could never influence their conduct as elected representatives of the people, or fail to acknowledge concerns about their finances. Senator Joe Manchin, the ranking member on the Senate energy and natural resources committee, owns between $1m and $5m worth of non-public stock in his family coal business, Enersystems, making him the only Democratic senator who is directly profiting from the environmentally devastating coal business. Despite pressure from the left, the Senate minority leader, Chuck Schumer, made Manchin the ranking member of the committee, and Manchin did not divest his coal holdings. Some senators want to do away with these perceived conflicts of interest. Senator Elizabeth Warren introduced anti-corruption legislation in August 2018 that included a ban on members of Congress, senior congressional staff, cabinet secretaries, White House staff, federal judges and other officials 6 from owning individual stocks, bonds, commodities, futures and other types of securities while in office. The senators Sherrod Brown and Jeff Merkley introduced the Ban Conflicted Trading Act in December to prevent members of Congress and senior staff from trading individual corporate stocks. Financial firms lead the way Senators own between $28.1m and $95.6m worth of stock in the five sectors examined by Sludge and the Guardian. They have the most money invested in the finance, insurance and real estate sector due in part to the Republican senator John Hoeven’s investment in Westbrand, Inc, a private holding company that owns multiple banks, worth between roughly $5m and $25m. Altogether, 37 senators and their spouses own between $12.8m and $48.2m worth of stock in the finance, insurance and real estate sector. They have the most money invested in the commercial banking industry, between $8.3m and $32.9m.

  • Alphabet Board of Directors
    WMHSMUN XXXIV Alphabet Board of Directors Background Guide “Unprecedented committees. Unparalleled debate. Unmatched fun.” Letters From the Directors Dear Delegates, Hello delegates! My name is Katie Weinsheimer, and I am looking forward to meeting you all on Zoom this fall at WMHSMUN XXXIV. The world of international Internet governance and the moral/ethical issues that arise from the introduction of ‘smart’ technology have been an interest of mine throughout my college career, so I am very excited to delve into these issues as your committee director for the Alphabet Board of Directors. I am a senior international relations major from Silver Spring, MD. I am in the St. Andrews William & Mary Joint Degree Programme, which means I am coming back to W&M after studying abroad in Scotland for two years. I joined William & Mary’s International Relations Club as a freshman after doing model United Nations in high school like all of you. I have loved my time in the club and have loved being involved in all of the conferences the College hosts. I am currently the registration director for our middle school conference, WMIDMUN XIX. Outside of model UN, I love reading, traveling, and cooking/trying new restaurants. But enough about me, you are here for stock market domination! As the Alphabet Board of Directors, you are responsible for the financial health of Alphabet and its subsidiary companies. Directors are charged with assessing and managing the risk associated with Alphabet’s various investments. This committee will take place in November 2020. With COVID-19 raging and poised to worsen in the winter months, the Board will have to make tough decisions about current and future investments.

  • Appendix D: Profitability of Google and Facebook
    Appendix D: Profitability of Google and Facebook Introduction 1. As part of the market study, we have undertaken an analysis into the financial performance of Alphabet Group (Google) and Facebook (this includes Instagram, WhatsApp and Messenger). 2. We have undertaken financial analysis for both platforms to enable us to establish whether the platforms are generating returns persistently higher than if they were operating in a more competitive market. 3. We have undertaken analysis of the following elements of financial performance for Google and Facebook: • the overall financial performance, including a review of profits, return on capital, and certain other measures reflecting trends in monetisation; and • the returns earned relative to benchmarks, including the relationship between their returns on investment and their cost of capital. Alphabet Group Financial performance of the Group 4. In assessing Google’s financial performance, we have started with Google’s group financial statements. In October 2015, Google established a new parent company, Alphabet Inc. Alphabet splits its reported performance into two operating segments for US financial reporting purposes: • Google; and • Other Bets. 5. Our market study is interested in the performance of businesses within the Google segment, and this appendix seeks to understand the level of profitability of the search business, in particular. The businesses most relevant to our study form the great majority of the Google segment by revenue including search, YouTube, Maps, Android, digital advertising, Chrome and Google Play. Many of the ‘business units’ in the Google segment are not directly monetised. Brands such as Android, Chrome and Gmail are monetised largely through their role in developing what is often referred to as an ‘ecosystem’ within which Google is the default search provider, allowing Google to monetise these activities through digital advertising.

  • Google Strategy Teardown
    Google Strategy Teardown GOOGLE IS TURNING ITSELF INTO AN AI COMPANY AS IT SEEKS TO WIN NEW MARKETS LIKE CLOUD AND TRANSPORTATION I Google’s next big thing will likely come from one of its new priority areas, like cloud, transportation, and healthcare. Each has a massive, global addressable market and plays well to Google’s strength in AI. As the digital world evolves, Google is taking a multi-pronged approach to maintaining its dominance in the search and ad business, which makes up the vast majority of its revenue. Search is migrating across mediums, with users gradually moving from desktop to mobile devices and voice assistants — a shift that directly threatens Google’s moat in search and advertising. As competition rises in the mobile and digital assistant space, and concerns over privacy and data management mount, Google has been forced to adapt. To maintain its foothold and protect its main source of revenue, Alphabet (Google’s parent company) is positioning itself to dominate adjacent sectors — such as digital commerce, branded hardware products, and content — and attempting to integrate its services into every aspect of the digital user experience. The company is also seeking out new streams of revenue in sectors with large addressable markets, namely on the enterprise side with cloud computing and services. Furthermore, it’s looking at industries ripe for disruption, such as transportation, logistics, and healthcare. Unifying Alphabet’s approach across initiatives is its expertise in AI and machine learning, which the company believes will help it become an all-encompassing service for both consumers and enterprises.
