My Weekend Trip to Missouri Sure Was Interesting...

When my mere presence makes the criminals and their press unhappy...

I recently went to St. Louis, Missouri to investigate Chinese, Russian and Israeli involvement with local organized crime — only to find myself smeared by a dishonest journalist with connections to some of the very groups I am committed to exposing.

When you understand that the St Louis criminal real estate world, with its attendant ties to foreign intelligence, smuggled money into Silicon Valley and that some of its scions include Jack Dorsey of Square and Twitter fame and Sam Altman, formerly of Y Combinator and now of Open AI, it certainly colors a lot of how technology in America is developed and so its been a matter of some interest to me for some time as readers of this Substack know well. What happens in flyover country oftentimes affects all of us everywhere.

Now it’s a violation of journalistic ethics not to call the subject of an article but that didn’t seem to stop Sarah Fenske, who acts as an executive editor for the Riverfront Times. Surely Fenske — the host of St. Louis Public Radio’s Legal Roundtable — knows that to falsely accuse me of what is in some jurisdictions of the world a crime is libel per se. Just call up the Columbia School of Journalism if you need a refresher, Ms. Fenske. Wikipedia is not due diligence, especially now that it’s well known the lengths that Israeli disinformation agents will go to

I’d remind Ms. Fenske that simply because the Anti-defamation League — a well known mouthpiece of the apartheid Israeli government — calls me a “Holocaust denier” does not make it so. In fact it’s part of a longstanding campaign by Israeli disinformation agents to smear me so as to take my companies from me. (I’m currently suing over just such efforts in the Clearview and Umbra cases, which involve cofounders of mine who, seeing me get smeared by hostile intelligence actors and their allies in the press, decided to seize my equity.)

Fenske makes herself complicit when she participates in these operations and she has duty of care to reach out as many responsible journalists have over the years. She chose not to.

And yes, I’ve litigated this matter all the way to the Supreme Court and will continue to push back on these exercises in smearing me, a well known technologist and national security analyst.

“For a journalist to engage in defamation against those publicly investigating drug trafficking, child sex trafficking, and the attempts to sabotage an intelligence agency - it shows why the Mob loves doing business in St. Louis. It's friendly territory for them,” notes my host Eric Garland.

Well, I’m not prepared to give one inch of America over to these types.

I like St. Louis. My parents once had a business there and I have employed several people in the St. Louis area. My great aunts and uncles were born in West Plaines, Missouri and I once spent two happy summers in the Kansas City area. If Missouri cleans up its organized crime problem I intend to invest a lot more money in the “Show Me State,” especially as real AI is used for satellite imagery.

I’ve visited the St. Louis-area a half dozen or so times since 2014 when I sued to get Michael Brown’s juvenile records during the Fergusion social unrest. I sued alongside the St. Louis Post-Dispatch to get those records and though we went all the way to the Supreme Court of Missouri, we were ultimately unsuccessful.

It’s important to realize that part of the reason for the political unrest around Michael Brown were the efforts both by organized crime to drive down the price of real estate near the new National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency’s western campus and by foreign adversaries seeking to make the environs unsafe. Many foreign governments cannot compete with America’s headlong push into satellite technology and so they seek to disrupt the local environment. If you can’t shoot down the satellites maybe you can shoot the satellite operator. My recent visit to the NGA’s new facility attests to the surrounding area being more than a little dangerous with seemingly bombed out facades.

Anyway I have been supporting Sarah Unsicker — a Democrat — for Attorney General of Missouri. This news might come as a surprise to some people who knew me from long ago. After all, I am a registered Republican. The times they are changing, though, and I’m increasingly backing whatever politician I think is best for the country.

Let me explain as to why. I have been a donor to the Republican Attorney General Association where I had the displeasure of encountering Leonard Leo’s criminal network of mobsters masquerading as law and order Republicans. Among them? Sean Reyes of Utah, Ken Paxton of Texas and Eric Schmidt of Missouri — the first two of which are under investigation by the FBI.

I also know Will Scharf, who is also running for Attorney General of Missouri though he and I have parted ways due to his closeness with Leonard Leo and his defense of Donald Trump. We’ve elsewhere explored Leo’s closeness with Barre Seid, the very pro-Israel donor at the center of Leo’s Federalist Society. Scharf is a committed supporter of Netanyahu as well and I find that support to be disqualifying for any elected office in America.

One of the duties of the Attorney General is to protect the public. I think Sarah Unsicker will make a fine Attorney General but that’s a decision for the people of Missouri.

Now I was somewhat surprised to see my visit to St. Louis make the news what with all the sustained organized crime going on in the area so I suppose it’ll have to fall to others to do the kind of journalism necessary to see to it that Missouri has a proper working government.

Please correct the record, Ms. Fenske, or I will be forced to correct it for you.

• I have no association with the alt right and was, in fact, smeared by some of its members in the early days.

• I am not a Holocaust denier and I am, in fact, a donor to Yad Vashem, the Holocaust Museum.

• Like many family members of mine, including a few Missourans who served as jayhawks, I have been a long-standing advisor and informant for the U.S. and allied intelligence community since I was in high school.

Maybe St. Louis’s press could do its duty.

No matter. My friends in Missouri will do theirs and I’m happy to help as best I can.
