"Last Gasp of A Criminal Syndicate" : Why I Welcome The Lawfare Attacks Against Me
To be libeled by the Israeli-backed defamation squad is an honor indeed
I have been asked about this lawsuit quite a bit lately so I thought I’d just address it here.
Not only am I not worried about the suit but everything is working according to plan.
I welcome the opportunity to hold accountable a foreign-backed, foreign-funded criminal defamation ring which has targeted me in a frivolous lawsuit filed by a fraudulent Texas businessman with whom I used to associate.
I had hoped that Mr. Hal Lambert would be a dutiful collector of checks from the Republican Party — he is a bundler for the Republican cause — but greed and his complicated personal life have made him vulnerable to even more bad behavior than his typical drunken lecherous shenanigans.
Fortunately I have amassed quite a lot of evidence of Lambert’s involvement with hostile foreign intelligence — it is after all why we stopped working together — and I’ll be putting a lot of that out soon enough, likely through the courts or in the media or both.
In a way I almost feel bad for Hal Lambert who suddenly has the funding to hire white shoe law firms. From my sources in the American and foreign intelligence services I understand that the criminal network behind Elon Musk is fronting the cost. These are the last gasps of a discredited, weakened oligarchy and Lambert is, as always, the help.
I kept everything, I recorded everything and so I fear nothing.
Interestingly I introduced Lambert to Steve Oskoui and Luke Nosek who run the foreign-backed GigaFund which is a major investor in Elon Musk’s projects, notably SpaceX where Nosek is on the board. GigaFund is deeply tied into the unfolding Tim Ballard and Angel Studios scandal in Utah.
They’ll be time enough to tuck into the lawfare against me in finer detail but be advised this is a fight I wanted and this’ll be a fight I will win. In fact you could even argue that I asked for it.
Oftentimes the work I do comes at great personal sacrifice but I’m really going to enjoy this and I hope you enjoy it with me, dear reader, because while it may be masterpiece it’ll be among best work.
If you absolutely must know everything I’d recommend having a look at Eric Garland’s twitter thread on the subject. It’s exhaustive and rather funny.
First some quick details:
I learned of the lawsuit from Maxwell Tani who emailed me when I was enroute from New York to Washington D.C. Tani has a history of being sued for defamation and he is not exactly someone you might call a journalist — more a hatchet man. Fair enough, fair enough.
Anyways Tani works for Semafor, a disinformation website financed by FTX's convicted felon boss, Sam Bankman Fried, and several Chinese oligarchs.
Semafor is edited by Ben Smith, who, in a previous incarnation, edited BuzzFeed. Smith published Russian-Israeli backed billionaire Paul Singer’s Steele Dossier.
Why yes, that’s the same Paul Singer who is credibly accused of criminal behavior in Argentina and of bribing federal judges in America to help with that illegal activity. Singer is also a chairman of the Manhattan Institute where my facial recognition Clearview.AI cofounders Hoan Ton-That and Richard Schwartz lied about having met one another. Lambert is on the board of Clearview.AI.
For our purposes Ben Smith has been investigated by the British media authorities for running a disinformation operation. Rather hilariously Smith was once part of a group of pro-Israeli “reporters” who would spin the media. In a way not much has changed since we met one another in the offices of Seth Lipsky of the New York Sun way back in 2008. The New York Sun, of course, went bankrupt after several of its funders were credibly accused of working for organized crime and foreign intelligence. I’m told Smith’s father is a judge with a tarnished reputation so perhaps it runs in the family.
Now I sued Huffington Post and BuzzFeed, which gifted itself to Huffington Post for a dollar, for defamation. As I did with Gawker before it I caused the entities’ bankruptcy before Smith decamped to start Semafor, flush with Chinese funds.
Semafor also works closely with Chinese interests in Africa, particularly in rare earths space which is aligned with Elon Musk and where I also have interests which are aligned with the U.S. State Department.
Again, I have no objection per se to the Chinese involvement anywhere but they need to not use child slaves or pay bribes in violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Like most Americans I look favorably upon a world where America and China could work together on the big issues of our day, notably climate change.
Curiously Semafor used a photo of me from more than ten years ago when I spoke at the Heritage Foundation in 2014 about busting frauds within the Republican Party. Not that I much minded the flattering photo — oh to be 25 again — but I am totally opposed to the Heritage Foundation and have been so for over a decade. I suspect I’m being linked to the Heritage Foundation to try to muddy the waters and suggest that I support Project 2025 or some other nonsense. I categorically don’t.
Why doesn’t Semafor mention that Hal Lambert is the founder of the MAGA ETF? Or that Lambert is a bundler for Republican causes? Somehow I’m the right winger despite being a confirmed Kamala Harris supporter. Oh dear, oh dear.
The truth is that I support law enforcement, Mr. Lambert is a frequent target of law enforcement and I look forward to my total vindication though I suspect none of this will ever get to trial.
A few legal asides:
Though I have not been served by any lawsuit I will not dodge process service. Hal Lambert did dodge process service when I sued him earlier this year but I find that conduct unbecoming.
I will retain counsel later today or tomorrow. Most likely it’ll be Bernie Kleinman who is representing me in the Clearview.AI lawsuit.
This lawsuit was designed to blunt me and my network’s rise as the preeminent investors in latest generation technology. It will be unsuccessful.
I’m unaware how a 30-something attorney with a work history in natural gas and Major League Baseball (really) — Go Dodgers! — has anything to say about the work I have done, do do, and will continue to do for America.
My attorney Mr. Kleinman holds a TSCI and well acquainted with my work. Now I suspect that this is an attempt to suss out the full nature of my work. That attempt will not be successful.
But then I realize that Quinn Emmanuel and the attorneys who filed this suit are registered foreign agents. Moreover this is the law firm behind Elon Musk, Robert Kraft for his Florida massage parlor case, and Kanye West. Oh dear.
We will, of course, be exposing Musk (and Quinn Emmanuel) attorney Alex Spiro who I have had this displeasure of dealing with a few years ago when I encouraged Musk to sue Ryan Mac and BuzzFeed. I have all the emails as well as the record phone call.
Naturally Jared Birchall, Musk’s Mormon fixer who I introduced to the FBI and to one Hal Lambert, will also be brought into this lawsuit, especially his rather close relationship with transnational organized crime and the cartels.
Spiro is currently representing agents of the Netanyahu government against the government of Iran for ostensibly being involved in the October 7th attacks.
The photos of Musk with the crime minister of Israel — Benjamin Netanyahu — speak for themselves. Netanyahu has called the foreign-born Musk the “unofficial president of the United States” and here, I, a son of the American Revolution on both sides must stand up and call foul.
Here’s how the press recounted one of their meetings last year.
Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has sought Elon Musk’s guidance on the existential threat posed by artificial intelligence, hinting that the tech billionaire is more powerful than the US president.
“I said to my wife Sara, ‘this guy really knows what he’s talking about’, I said ‘he’s the Edison of our time’,” Prime Minister Netanyahu said during a discussion with Mr Musk on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Monday.
“You can’t be president of the US last time I checked, but assume you are.”
The tech billionaire, who is currently the world’s richest person, interjected: “Not officially.”
President Netanyahu responded: “Not officially. OK, so you’re the unofficial president.”
I want to be very clear that I do not hold the Israeli people or even the Israeli Defense Forces responsible for the conduct of their criminal prime minister or his son or even his associates but it’s getting late in the day and the eyes of the world are upon the Israeli people.
My view on these matters is a bit more Lincolnian — “With malice toward none and charity for all” — than the Confederate and Texas secessionist supporters who are attacking me but please don’t try my patience. I don’t want to have to summon my inner Ulysses S. Grant or Tecumseh Sherman.
Should any responsible journalist or investor or friend read this and want to reach out to discuss further I’m available.
A democracy needs a free press, not a mob digital rag. We need courts that are fair, not compromised, and we need tech investors who serve the country rather than themselves.
I’m happy to do my part and encourage others to do theirs — just as my family on both sides has done before me.
It is a great gift to continue the family service. I know where it ends and what it takes.
