Jeff Bezos Protests the Invasion of His Privacy, as Amazon Builds a Sprawling Surveillance State for Everyone Else

The Intercept, by Glenn Greenwald, February 8, 2019

Excerpts:

The National Enquirer has engaged in behavior so lowly and unscrupulous that it created a seemingly impossible storyline: the world’s richest billionaire and a notorious labor abuser, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, as a sympathetic victim.

On Thursday, Bezos published emails in which the Enquirer’s parent company explicitly threatened to publish intimate photographs of Bezos and his mistress, which were apparently exchanged between the two through their iPhones, unless Bezos agreed to a series of demands involving silence about the company’s conduct.

………………………………………….

All of this raises serious questions, which thus far are limited to pure speculation, about how the National Enquirer obtained the intimate photos exchanged between Bezos and his mistress. Despite a lack of evidence, MSNBC is already doing what it exists to do – implying with no evidence that Trump is to blame (in this case, by abusing the powers of the NSA or FBI to spy on Bezos). But, under the circumstances, those are legitimate questions to be probing (though responsible news agencies would wait for evidence before airing innuendo of that sort).

If the surveillance powers of the NSA, FBI or other agencies were used to obtain incriminating information about Bezos due to their view of him as a political enemy – and, again, there is no evidence this has happened – it certainly would not be the first time. Those agencies have a long and shameful history of doing exactly that, which is why the Democratic adoration for those agencies, and the recent bipartisan further empowerment of them, was so disturbing.

    Hello,

    I have bombshell news about Obama’s real name and his real place of birth. Finally the quest is over. We know who the guy is!

    You can publish this post for all it matters to me.

    I’ve followed the birthers around like a sheep for ten years but now it’s enough. I opposed Obama because he registered as a Muslim in a school in Indonesia; and never because of his birth certificate. A couple of years after his election, I happened upon a senior lady posting to comments to birther articles who said she was Linda Joy Adams, Obama’s cousin.
    I thought that seemed strange because I imagined that being such a famous person, it didn’t seem normal for her to be posting alongside us ordinary people.

    Imagining she might be a loon, I went along with what she said and…. went with the flow. I took the things I thought were the least over the top and asked about how those things came about. She seemed normal and sane, but I couldn’t shake the feeling she was a loon. Therefore, I desisted in talking as often as possible. But each time I’d write back to her once very few weeks and we’d strike up our friendship little by little in that way, during a few years.

    I outlined the “safe” areas I was ready to talk about, such as her memories of Obama as a kid. But when she started giving me family-genealogy to other families in the Kansas area, such as Texas, Arkansas etc… and telling me their family was related to the Bushes, Clintons etc… I balked… because I was sure she was a loon when she started talking about those things.

    Then we honed in on Obama’s real father, that she said was lynched by the KKK in Kansas. For several months, she tried to find pictures of him in her HS yearbook. I kept asking what name she was looking for, but she said the family didn’t want Obama’s father’s name to be revealed for fear of the press.

    At the end of all that, I plead that she reveal the names of Obama’s father and of Obama. But she persisted and said it was not possible. So we left that at that for about two or three years.

    Meanwhile, I told her she should tell her story to the birthers and I gave her Orly Taitz’s e-mail and I also called up PPSimmons’ editor so as for him to contact the Joe Arpaio Cold Case Posse.

    But both were miserable failures. Because neither were able to communicate with a senior elder like Linda Adams who was going on her late 60s at that time and who had/has a very grave medical condition, as well.

    Don’t quote me, but I think Orly said Linda Adams was incoherent and/or “went off on diversions” on the phone. Orly may have forgotten that it’s very difficult for Americans to understand “the English” she speaks.

    All in all, Taitz just went to Kansas to file a lawsuit saying Obama was ineligible in Kansas. But she missed out on the whole bombshell she was sitting on, which was that she knew Obama’s real name. Yes, indeed, Linda told me she had told Orly Taitz and Mike Zullo Obama’s real name. (But still hadn’t TOLD ME!!!)

    So, the second person was thus Mike Zullo who called up Linda Adams from the Cold Case Posse.

    The following recap of the conversation between her and Zullo is what I heard from Linda Adams as she related it to me my mail. It’s very approximate and general as it appears in my memory so don’t quote me on it. But it’s accurate and complete enough.
    He wrote down everything she said and wanted to verify the facts himself with his archives and special files. He called back later again and said he had situated and talked to Stanley Dunham in Calif. (which is Obama’s grandfather’s name.) He said that Linda had lied to him saying Stanley Dunham was dead. Furthermore, he found Stanley Dunham worked for the CIA so Zullo said he had to stop the investigation.

    Linda then explained to me that Zullo got it all wrong.

    He doesn’t know or doesn’t want to grasp a crucial part of Stanley Dunham’s biography.

    He stole his cousin Stanley Dunham’s wallet to go to war in WWII because he was underage and was dodging some problems he had with the police as a kid.

    That’s how Obama’s grandfather Daniel Wayne Pope changed name to Stanley Dunham.

    Zullo talked to the real Stanley Dunham, not to Obama’s grandfather Daniel Wayne Pope. He didn’t realize that or maybe he just dons’t give a darn about the whole thing. It was botched anyways.

    The Stanley Dunham working for the CIA would rather be Obama’s grandfather I imagine, because he was known by the family to have worked for the CIA. I don’t know if the other Stanley Dunham worked for the CIA. In any case, Zullo was right on the facts when he said Obama’s grandfather worked for the CIA, his file didn’t lie to him/ He just had the wrong guy.

    Anyways, Zullo passed very close by uncovering one of the big discoveries of investigative journalism and detective work. He botched with mastery and bravado. he was within a hair’s breadth of pulling off an efficient investigation.

    I went to PPSimmons videos and complained in the comments about the clueless work he had done. The PPSimmons staff got so agitated by that, that Carl Gallups in person made a video calling me out and saying (if I remember right, don’t quote me on that) Linda Adams wasn’t a reliable witness. (I can’t remember exactly what he said but he made a whole video to discredit Linda as a witness.)

    So, make two columns: the birthers one one side and Linda and me on the other side, who criticize the birthers.

    They seem to be holding up the truth and trying to muffle the real truth from getting out. I wonder if the birthers work for Obama and want people to believe he’s born in Hawaii or Kenya just to hide that he’s born in Topeka, Kansas, to a father (Jim T. Parks) who was lynched by Democrat KKK types that were really Obama’s own relatives.

    So, Obama’s real name is Barry Parks. Rosa Parks is his uncle’s wife, i.e. his aunt. This is a bombshell.

    I’m not arguing. Just saying any reasonable investigator will leave no lead aside. i’m giving you the information, now do your job of counter checking it.

    Here’s Linda Joy Adams’ contact info. Do your jobs as impartial and good investigators. The birthers have been goons and bozos for too long. It’s time for real professionals who do the actual work before they spew their garbage on Internet.

    People can feel free to contact Linda Joy Adams. Her telephone # is (580) 368-7686; her email is lindajadams@yahoo.com and blog link is http://lindajoyadams.blogspot.com/ Her blog email is also there. Her “Daily Recap” posts speak about Obama’s fake name and his real name: Barry Parks.

    She has lots of more information to give about Obama and her family. If people actually want to know the truth, contact her. She’s in contact with the Rosa Parks family and can provide the introduction to them for people who want to ask questions about Obama’s real father Jim T. Parks, Rosa Parks’s nephew. She has information about the relatives of theirs who lynched Obama’s real father Jim T. Parks.

    Linda is 73 and in very failing health. Hurry up to contact her before it’s too late. This is very urgent.
