Jesuit- Ex Verizon CEO Denny Strigel on TeleCon Conspiracy to Subvert the 4th Amendment


Interview with Denny Strigel Jesuit Chairman of the Board of Trustees Canasius Jesuit College
On the Impending End Run Around the 1st Amendment via Subverting the 4th


FSBUSHS-

Most people just don’t appreciate the potential.

They say “what do I have to hide” or why would anyone be interested in their lives.

They don’t think. And they are increasingly obvious to history- and the political significance of he concept of the confessional? And thus can’t imagine the potential- namely to subvert the 1st amendment via a climate of fear.

We have all known people whom refuse getting involved politically, including refusing to attend demonstrations or join political organizations out of a fear of ending up on some list.

I’ve always wondered how anything every got done for the better by such attitudes. Frankly such attitudes disgust me. I say use it or loose it. Hence I write these blogs as a means of attempting to warn my fellow countrymen and others about the threat and show such by discussing political dynamics.

Strigel-

Yes, we are assembling the technology

We have already achieved the economy of scale. Thanks to modern technology plus a popular indifference following September 11, 2001. Never-mind the tremendous potential for abuse.

Look what we did to you back in 2006 after you started your first blog embarrassing the Roman Catholic Church by pointing out that conflict between that St Vincent de Paul Church and the NCPC proposed South Mall., and of course Nationals Ballpark Stadium which is our pride and joy, steered through CUA/Gontzaga and Jesuit Academy Board of Directors Tuohey through the law firm of Covington & Burling representing MLB which insists upon that particular stadium location, that was one of several options in a study PRE-dating the formal abandonment of the South Mall concept

We place a tap on your Verizon cell phone- voice and gps. That Verizon wireless salesman pitch about you the customer having control over the gps with an “off” switch- we lied. Yet we refused rescinding the claim that it was you that “broke the contract” when you ended it after we betrayed you.

We sicced a joint federal DEA local Virginia Fairfax narcotics squad on you August 5 2006 with an illegal search and seizure masked by a false claim that the police video was ‘just grey static’. We were so disappointed you had under 5 pounds, and that the search really was not legal, but got it covered up by rubber stamp Fairfax judge who refused to hear the testimony of the arresting officer, in a legal atmosphere of systematic boilerplate testilying. Come on now, just how many criminal narcotics busts in Virginia have that police boilerplate about a failing to come to a complete stop at a stop sign and failing to single? Or how many involved some 5 or 6 police vehicles and 23 police, with 5 local Fairfax, and 18 “DEA”. Welcome to the age of the federal-local law enforcement “FUSION” centers- facilitating federally directed politically motivated law enforcement.

And as you’ve likely deduced we have many ways of reducing the potential impacts of what one may write upon the internet to expose us- namely drown you out in layer after layer of clutter. Just look at the way we run the media with their endless harping on even the lamest stories – remember the John Carr fluff in the weeks just after we ambushed you? Or the way magazine after magazine continue to put the face of Kim Kardashian or one of her sisters on the cover as if they merited it truly?

Or look at the number of people devoting their off of work time to watching other people play some or another sport.

Its all about distraction.

Just look at the article in today’s New York Time- we telecommunication companies are guilty of conspiracy to subvert the 4th amendment. We need to have our asses sued seriously, otherwise were going to continue, along with the counter reformation, as can be expected from a traitor as myself affiliated with the filthy Jesuit Order which has infiltrated and rotted out the governments of the world.

Get the people to accept government expansion without adequate oversight. End run around the separation of powers by the permeation- subversion of the powers like a fist hidden within a visible glove.

Get them to focus upon some exterior epidermises while overlooking that fortress of the counter reformation on the Potomac.

We are the Jesuit Order- the Society of Jesus devoted to harping minds to our benefit.

Wait until our pentagon develops miniature insect sized drones.

Yahoo-Verizon Conspiracy Against the Public

Yahoo, Verizon: Our Spy Capabilities Would ‘Shock’, ‘Confuse’ Consumers

spying0709073Want to know how much phone companies and internet service providers charge to funnel your private communications or records to U.S. law enforcement and spy agencies?

That’s the question muckraker and Indiana University graduate student Christopher Soghoian asked all agencies within the Department of Justice, under a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request filed a few months ago. But before the agencies could provide the data, Verizon and Yahoo intervened and filed an objection on grounds that, among other things, they would be ridiculed and publicly shamed were their surveillance price sheets made public.

Yahoo writes in its 12-page objection letter (.pdf), that if its pricing information were disclosed to Soghoian, he would use it “to ’shame’ Yahoo! and other companies — and to ’shock’ their customers.”

“Therefore, release of Yahoo!’s information is reasonably likely to lead to impairment of its reputation for protection of user privacy and security, which is a competitive disadvantage for technology companies,” the company writes.


Verizon took a different stance. It objected to the release (.pdf) of its Law Enforcement Legal Compliance Guide because it might “confuse” customers and lead them to think that records and surveillance capabilities available only to law enforcement would be available to them as well — resulting in a flood of customer calls to the company asking for trap and trace orders.

“Customers may see a listing of records, information or assistance that is available only to law enforcement,” Verizon writes in its letter, “but call in to Verizon and seek those same services. Such calls would stretch limited resources, especially those that are reserved only for law enforcement emergencies.”

Other customers, upon seeing the types of surveillance law enforcement can do, might “become unnecessarily afraid that their lines have been tapped or call Verizon to ask if their lines are tapped (a question we cannot answer).”

Verizon does disclose a little tidbit in its letter, saying that the company receives “tens of thousands” of requests annually for customer records and information from law enforcement agencies.

Soghoian filed his records request to discover how much law enforcement agencies — and thus U.S. taxpayers — are paying for spy documents and surveillance services with the aim of trying to deduce from this how often such requests are being made. Soghoian explained his theory on his blog, Slight Paranoia:

In the summer of 2009, I decided to try and follow the money trail in order to determine how often Internet firms were disclosing their customers’ private information to the government. I theorized that if I could obtain the price lists of each ISP, detailing the price for each kind of service, and invoices paid by the various parts of the Federal government, then I might be able to reverse engineer some approximate statistics. In order to obtain these documents, I filed Freedom of Information Act requests with every part of the Department of Justice that I could think of.

The first DoJ agency to respond to his request was the U.S. Marshals Service (USMS), which indicated that it had price lists available for Cox Communications, Comcast, Yahoo and Verizon. But because the companies voluntarily provided the price lists to the government, the FOIA allows the companies an opportunity to object to the disclosure of their data under various exemptions. Comcast and Cox were fine with the disclosure, Soghoian reported.

He found that Cox Communications charges $2,500 to fulfill a pen register/trap-and-trace order for 60 days, and $2,000 for each additional 60-day-interval. It charges $3,500 for the first 30 days of a wiretap, and $2,500 for each additional 30 days. Thirty days worth of a customer’s call detail records costs $40.

Comcast’s pricing list, which was already leaked to the internet in 2007, indicated that it charges at least $1,000 for the first month of a wiretap, and $750 per month thereafter.

But Verizon and Yahoo took offense at the request.

Yahoo objected on grounds that its pricing constituted “confidential commercial information” and cited Exemption 4 of the Freedom of Information Act and the Trade Secrets Act.

Exemption 4 of the FOIA refers to the disclosure of commercial or financial information that could result in a competitive disadvantage to the company if it were publicly disclosed. The company claims its pricing is derived from labor rates for employees and overhead and, therefore, disclosing the information would provide clues to its operating costs — regardless of whether these same clues are already available in public records, such as those the company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The company also claims that since Soghoian is trying to determine the actual amounts the Marshals Service paid Yahoo for responding to requests, the price lists are irrelevant, since “there are no standard prices for these transactions.”

But equally important to Yahoo’s objections was the potential for “criticism” and ridicule. Yahoo quoted Soghoian on his blog writing that his aim was to “use this blog to shame the corporations that continue to do harm to user online privacy.”

Yahoo also objected to the disclosure of its letter objecting to the disclosure of pricing information saying that “release of this letter would likely cause substantial competitive harm” to the company. The company added, in a veiled threat, that if the Marshals Service were to show anyone its letter objecting to the disclosure of pricing information, it could “impair the government’s ability to obtain information necessary for making appropriate decisions with regard to future FOIA requests.”

Verizon Bribes U.S. Senator Rockefellor for TelCom Immunity

A trio of men in need of arrest and prosecution for involvement with bribery for Constitutional subversion, to wit the 1st and 4th Amendments:

For offering a bribe:
Verizon CEO Ivan Seidenberg
Chairman and CEO ($19,425,000 annual compensation 2005),
Executive VP and President and CEO of Verizon Wireless CEO Dennis Strigl
($11,209,600 annual compensation 2005)
For receiving a bribe:
U.S. Senator Jay Rockefeller.
From http://kipesquire.powerblogs.com/posts/1192978834.shtml
Verizon & AT&T Buy a Senator (and Possibly NSA Immunity)

While one moral defective gets caught with her campaign contribution hand in the Chinatown fortune cookie jar, another moral defective gets caught with his votes-for-sale hand on the wiretapped telephone:
Senator Jay Rockefeller (D-West Virginia) is reportedly steering the secretive Senate Intelligence Committee to give retroactive immunity to telecoms that helped the government secretly spy on Americans.

He has also recently benefited from some interesting political contributions.

Top Verizon executives, including CEO Ivan Seidenberg and President Dennis Strigl, wrote personal checks to Rockefeller totaling $23,500 in March, 2007. Prior to that apparently coordinated flurry of 29 donations, only one of those executives had ever donated to Rockefeller (at least while working for Verizon).
More interesting facts:

--The Verizon donations all occurred in a single month: March 2007. Curious.

--Almost all the AT&T donations occurred on two single days: May 22, 2007, and June 1, 2007. Curiouser.

--Rockefeller, despite being worth over $100 million, actually needs the money, having "selflessly" pledged to spend none of his own fortune for his 2008 re-election campaign (in "very red" Red State West Virginia).

--The flood of telco executive donations to Rockefeller only began after the Democrats took control of the Senate; as one commenter notes, "It doesn't make sense to bribe a member of the minority party, does it?"

Meanwhile, Rockefeller's Senate Intelligence Committee passed the "telco immunity" version of the warrantless wiretapping authorization. Further hurdles await in the Senate Judiciary Committee and in the House. Let's see how much more telco cash finds it way into politicians' pockets.
Having been targeted by law enforcement while carrying a Verizon cell phone registered in my name as apparent revenge for my blog questioning the Vatican role in the U.S. government aborting its South Capitol Mall, and in the planning of the Washington Nationals Stadium, I do believe that Verizon knows that it violated the U.S. constitution.

Verizon Wireless CEO Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Jesuit Canisius College

Dennis Strigl
Exec. VP and President & CEO of Verizon Wireless
$11,209,600 compensation 2005

Another one who probably should be arrested for conspiracy to subvert the 1st and 4th amendments of the U.S. Constitution.

Dennis Strigl, is a member of the class of 1974, and is Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Jesuit Order's Canisius College.
Officers for the 2006-2007 Canisius College Board of Trustees include Chairman Dennis F. Strigl ’74, president and CEO of Verizon Wireless; Vice Chairman Rocco J. Maggiotto ’72, MBA ’78, Executive Vice President and Director of Customer Development for Zurich Financial Services; Secretary John J. Hurley ’78, executive vice president and vice president for college relations at Canisius; and Treasurer Patrick E. Richey, vice president for business & finance/treasurer at Canisius.
(L-R): Bill Gates; Palm, Inc. President and CEO Ed Colligan, and Verizon Wireless President and CEO Denny Strigl announce a strategic alliance to expand the Smartphone market with a new line of Treo Smartphones from Verizon Wireless. San Francisco, Sept. 26, 2005.

Photos as this should alert to the surveillance threat through anything these men sell the public, e.g. things with Microsoft software, and/or a GPS= great for real time tracking!

What such people are creating is an electronic confessional.

I was carrying a Verizon cell phone registered in my name when I was ambushed by law enforcement as revenge for spotlighting the Vatican's dirty deal to kill Washington, D.C.'s South Capitol Mall...and the potential involvement of then Washington Archbishop Theodore McCarrick...


It would figure that Verizon Wireless is lead by a Jesuit!

In this age of free speech beneath U.S. Homeland Security, consider that Verizon cell phone, with its fake gps "off switch" as a potential jesuitical confessor!

South Capitol Mall Blogger Douglas A. Willinger Ambushed, Arrested (while carrying his Verizon cell phone)

Verizon CEO

Ivan Seidenberg
Chairman and CEO ($19,425,000 annual compensation 2005)

- probably should be arrested for conspiracy to subvert the 1st and 4th amendments of the U.S. Constitution.

Verizon Betrays the Public

Verizon Says It Turned Over Data Without Court Orders

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/10/15/AR2007101501857.html

16 Oct 2007 Verizon Communications, the nation's second-largest telecom company, told congressional investigators that it has provided customers' telephone records to federal authorities in 'emergency cases' without court orders hundreds of times since 2005. Verizon also disclosed that the FBI, using administrative subpoenas, sought information identifying not just a person making a call, but all the people that customer called, as well as the people those people called... From January 2005 to September 2007, Verizon provided data to federal authorities on an emergency basis 720 times, it said in the letter. The records included Internet protocol addresses as well as phone data. In that period, Verizon turned over information a total of 94,000 times to federal authorities armed with a subpoena or court order, the letter said.

Phone Utilities Won't Give Details on Eavesdropping
16 Oct 2007 The three biggest phone carriers have refused to tell members of Congress what role, if any, they had in the National Security Agency’s domestic eavesdropping program. The utilities said it would be illegal to divulge classified information. [Yeah, that's the like the kid who kills his parents and asks for mercy from the court because he's an orphan. --LRP]
