Caught off guard in Festival.

Lawfags, you may be interested in this podcast about Acosta and his “prosecution” of Epstein. The two former prosecutors who run the podcast are outraged at the whole series of events.

I got confused and posted the following on the previous (or was it previous previous?) thread. My apologies to my ping list who have gotten this post now twice.

EVERGREEN AND NEONREVOLT:

Hi AlmaKing! I was just reading the most recent neonrevolt dig, and his thoughts about Evergreen and what you found on it seem to coincide!

ALMA KING HAD POSTED:

“Q keyword: Evergreen
Evergreen Line - Shipping Containers:
https://www.evergreen-line.com/static/jsp/service.jsp
Q keywords: Long Beach Port
https://www.shipmentlink.com/tvs2/jsp/TVS2_TerminalProspect.jsp
Can search for Long Beach Port activity. Evergreen services Long Beach Port”

Neon’s link:
https://www.neonrevolt.com/2019/07/18/qbaby-and-mega-revelations-newq-qanon-greatawakening-neonrevolt/

Above link with a wide-ranging, neonrevolt-long article, touches on (in no particular order):
The “Q” Baby, MEGA GROUP, which is a possible solution for “[M]” from #3396 - and his thoughts on why Israel is saved for last, - [ in his theory, it would seem that a bunch of thugs created the modern State of Israel (and are misusing it)- imho worth considering.] FLDS, and other reasons why to “watch CA”, the Bronfman family rise to power. Benghazi and Libya are topics as well. In the article is a link to a previous article in which he explores Hillary’s dad - who took over from Al Capone.

Neonrevolt says re EVERGREEN:
“…And the Q-fans out there will love this next bit:
Southern Air Transport ran into money trouble and it’s route was taken over by Evergreen Aviation, which also had a history of connection to the CIA. Evergreen, despite it’s own recent financial problems, still keeps one Boeing 747 in Columbus and still maintains regular service to Hong Kong. The only terminal that can serve that aircraft is owned by Landmark Aviation.

Evergreen again. Wonder if Hillary “Evergreen” Clinton had her fingers in this?…”

OH, Darnright, that post above clanged a very loud bell with me. Several months ago I did a 5-part dig series on “AI in the Law.” In part 2 of that series, we discovered that:

They were founded in 1948 by Hon. Godfrey W. Higgs, CBE, and Mr. Mervyn Johnson, former Registrar General of The Bahamas. Mr Higgs is most noted for his defense in 1943 of Canadian gold baron Sir Harry Oakes’s accused murderer….”

That is just a little bitty stone’s throw from Epstein’s Island complex, isn’t it? It appears that the Caribbean is rife with a lot of skullduggery.

PART ONE - AI SUPPLEMENTAL DIG

So WHY ETHIOPIA FOR AI, as pointed out in Darnright’s post?

https://www.kurzweilai.net/ai-and-ethiopia-an-unexpected-synergy

In an article from the Kurzweil Accelerating Intelligence web site, by Ben Goertzel
October 25, 2012, we learn the following:

“…One might think that developing countries have a lot of other more basic problems to deal with, before they need to start thinking about advanced technologies like artificial intelligence.

But actually, this is an overly limited perspective. Many decision-makers in Ethiopia and other developing countries recognize the existence of opportunities to leapfrog past stages of development that currently developed countries have passed through, using new technologies to hop directly into the future.

The most notable example of this is the tendency of developing nations to bypass the widespread laying of communication cables in rural regions, relying on wireless instead. Similarly, even though currently developed countries didn’t have much to do with AI during their earlier stages of development, different opportunities may exist for developing countries today….”

Well, that is at least one reason.

Here is another possible one:

https://qz.com/africa/1474336/african-scientists-difficulty-with-visas-for-global-conferences/

[I am informed I have two more freebie articles available from this web site]

“A global AI conference is moving to Addis Ababa in 2020 after visa difficulties for African scientists”
By Yomi KazeemNovember 26, 2018

A major artificial intelligence (AI) conference will be held in Africa in 2020—because the organizers admit it will be more difficult for African researchers to get foreign visas to attend it elsewhere.

Organizers of the International Conference on Learning Representations will host it in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in 2020 as part of a bid to ensure more collaboration with scientists on the continent. Stringent visa processes and requirements often mean it’s difficult for African scientists to travel abroad and collaborate with their peers on projects or at conferences. It’s a problem that many Africans face when traveling globally: only three African countries rank above average on the 2018 index of the world’s strongest passports.

Yoshua Bengio, often regarded the father of deep learning and one of the conference’s organizers say foreign governments “could make it easier” for African researchers to visit. “It’s a lottery, and very often they will use any excuse to refuse access. This is totally unfair,” Bengio told MIT Technology Review. “It is already hard for them to do research with little resources, but in addition if they can’t have access to the community.” Hosting the conference on the continent, he claims, is “a way to counter” the lack of access for local scientists. Indeed, Africans looking to attend an artificial intelligence event in Canada this year have reported visa difficulties.

As the global AI race takes shape, African countries are also trying to make up ground. GOOGLE HAS BUILT AN AI LAB IN ACCRA, GHANA and the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences in Kigali, Rwanda has launched the CONTINENT’S FIRST DEDICATED MASTER’S DEGREE PROGRAM FOR MACHINE LEARNING AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE WITH BACKING FROM FACEBOOK AND GOOGLE. ETHIOPIA IS OFTEN SEEN AS ONE OF THE CONTINENT’S LEADING HUBS FOR ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE….”

Google. Facebook. In Africa.

PART TWO -AI - SUPPLEMENTAL DIG

OK…. Now, who is Ray Kurzweil?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Kurzweil

Raymond Kurzweil; born February 12, 1948) is an American inventor and futurist. He is involved in fields such as optical character recognition (OCR), text-to-speech synthesis, speech recognition technology, and electronic keyboard instruments. He has written books on health, artificial intelligence (AI), transhumanism, the technological singularity, and futurism. Kurzweil is a public advocate for the futurist and transhumanist movements, and gives public talks to share his optimistic outlook on life extension technologies and the future of nanotechnology, robotics, and biotechnology….

He has written 7 books, one of which, ‘The Singularity Is Near’ “was a New York Times bestseller, and has been the #1 book on Amazon in both science and philosophy….”

“…Kurzweil has been employed by Google since 2012, where he is a “director of engineering...”

RAY KURZWEIL wrote this really loooong weird thing - he calls it a novel - about “Danielle.” I archived it as an export doc in two parts.

It starts with Danielle at 0-1 years with Alice in Wonderland… and advances by years through her life. I am assuming Danielle may be an AI, and he is describing an example of the kinds of things used in programming her learning. He goes through a lot of unrelated vignettes, about many different topics, many of which are fascinating. But it is LONG - and at times it seems like he has diarrhea of thought and pen. I felt the need to archive it because it shows his perspective on world events and society. Yikes. I confess I did not read all of it, but scrolled and skimmed.

For the curious, that link is:

https://www.danielleworld.com/a-chronicle-of-ideas-ray-kurzweil-novel/chapter-1-age-zero-and-one-maybe-she-s-different-haitian-earthquake-ray-kurzweil-novel

For myself, I am very concerned about an AI entity which is being introduced to the world with Alice in Wonderland being fed to it as the “breakfast of champions.” I have been nervous about AI not having the guard rails needed to make it safe for mankind to thrive together with AI. This “novel” did not soothe my disquiet.

PART THREE - AI SUPPLEMENTAL DIG

In PART TWO, after peering into the mindset and perspective of one of the “great lights” of AI, Ray Kurzweil, and the way it seemed he was going to program an AI named Danielle. [He actually does not say that he is programming an AI... that was my deduction.]

I have been conscious of being rather unsettled at the prospect of AI in our future. From our Q digs, and from my digs on AI in particular, it appears that the people working on it do not seem at all to be very kind to the population of humans on earth. I found another article on that qz.com web site. In it they are telling me why I should not be afraid.

https://qz.com/1046350/the-quartz-guide-to-artificial-intelligence-what-is-it-why-is-it-important-and-should-we-be-afraid/
[I have only one freebie article left from them this month.]

DON’T FEAR THE AI
The Quartz guide to artificial intelligence: What is it, why is it important, and should we be afraid?
By Dave Gershgorn September 10, 2017

Near the end of the article, after they put forth their most persuasive arguments, they say this:

“…Should we be afraid of AI?
After watching movies like Terminator, it’s easy to be scared of an all-powerful, evil AI like Skynet. In the AI research world, Skynet would be referred to as general superintelligence, or artificial general intelligence—software that’s more powerful than the human brain in every way. Since computers are able to scale, meaning we can make bigger, faster computers and link them together, the fear is that the power of these robot brains would grow to an unfathomable level. If they’re that smart, they’d be uncontrollable and circumvent any human attempts to shut them off. That’s the DOOMSDAY SCENARIO THAT ELON MUSK AND STEPHEN HAWKING—immensely smart people—worry about. DESPITE THEIR INTELLIGENCE WITHIN CERTAIN DOMAINS, MOST MAINSTREAM AI RESEARCHERS DISCOUNT THE IDEA OF “SUMMONING THE DEMON,” AS MUSK HAS SAID….”

Well, yeah... they are so arrogant, they WOULD discount that.

As things are now, put me in the Elon Musk and Stephen Hawking AI School of Thought.

HOWEVER

Our POTUS has mentioned wanting AMERICAN and the PATRIOTS to be first and foremost in the development of AI. I would be much more comfortable with AI, if I knew that the Patriots are in charge and “have it all.” I believe they would make sure there are guardrails.

Part Two - Ezra Cohen-Watnick

Let’s look at the two articles Q linked:

NEW YORK TIMES:
April 11, 2018 [Posted by Q TWICE!]

“Aide Ousted From White House Re-emerges at Justice Dept.”
By Adam Goldman
April 11, 2018

WASHINGTON — A former American intelligence official who came under intense scrutiny during a stint at the White House last year is returning to government as the national security adviser to Attorney General Jeff Sessions, according to a person familiar with the decision.
The official, Ezra Cohen-Watnick, will play an important role at the Justice Department, advising Mr. Sessions on counterintelligence and counterterrorism.

Mr. Cohen-Watnick is known to be hawkish on Russia and China, believing the intelligence community needs to take a more aggressive approach in countering their activities. Both countries conduct wide-ranging espionage in the United States that targets commercial and government secrets. Mr. Sessions is broadly viewed in the Justice Department as lacking expertise in the area.

The Justice Department declined to comment.

MR. COHEN-WATNICK, 31, SERVED BRIEFLY AT THE START OF THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION AS THE SENIOR DIRECTOR FOR INTELLIGENCE FOR THE NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL, OVERSEEING COVERT ACTION AND OTHER INTELLIGENCE PROGRAMS. HE WAS BROUGHT ON BY MICHAEL T. FLYNN,
President Trump’s first national security adviser. But some former officials criticized Mr. Cohen-Watnick, a former clandestine officer in the Defense Intelligence Agency, as too young for the job, which is usually filled by C.I.A. veterans.

Mr. Cohen-Watnick was ousted in August 2017 as part of changes in the White House, one of several appointees of Mr. Flynn who were removed by his replacement, Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster.

National Security Council aides usually draw little public scrutiny, but MR. COHEN-WATNICK WAS SWEPT UP IN THE TUMULT OF EARLY 2017 WHEN MR. TRUMP ACCUSED THE PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATION, WITHOUT EVIDENCE, OF WIRETAPPING HIS PHONES AT TRUMP TOWER.

[WITHOUT EVIDENCE???? LOL!]

MR. TRUMP’S ALLEGATIONS WERE BOLSTERED BY REPRESENTATIVE DEVIN NUNES OF CALIFORNIA, the Republican chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, who said he had evidence that Mr. Trump’s communications were incidentally swept up in surveillance of foreigners by American spy agencies.

MR. NUNES DID NOT DIVULGE THE SOURCES OF THIS INFORMATION, BUT AMERICAN OFFICIALS LATER TOLD THE NEW YORK TIMES THAT MR. COHEN-WATNICK, AT THE INSTRUCTION OF TWO SENIOR WHITE HOUSE OFFICIALS, HELPED PRINT INTELLIGENCE REPORTS THAT LATER SERVED AS MR. NUNES’S PROOF.

Part Three Ezra Cohen-Watnick
The other link referenced by Q to an article from NY Mag from #1539 was posted ALSO on April 11, 2018.

Fired White House Official Hired by DOJ at Trump’s Insistence
By Adam K. Raymond

http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2018/04/fired-white-house-official-joins-doj-at-trumps-insistence.html

EZRA COHEN-WATNICK, A CONTROVERSIAL FORMER NATIONAL SECURITY AIDE TO PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP WHO WAS PUSHED OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE BY H.R. MCMASTER, IS REJOINING THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION. IN HIS NEW ROLE HE WILL SERVE AS ATTORNEY GENERAL JEFF SESSION’S NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER.

A 31-year-old former intelligence officer, Cohen-Watnick was brought on to Trump’s national Security Council by Michael Flynn, the president’s first national security adviser. WHEN FLYNN’S 24-DAY TENURE ENDED IN FEBRUARY OF 2017, HIS REPLACEMENT, H.R. MCMASTER, BEGAN CLEANING HOUSE. BUT HE WASN’T ABLE TO REMOVE COHEN-WATNICK, WHO REPORTEDLY USED HIS ALLIANCES WITH JARED KUSHNER AND STEVE BANNON TO STAY IN THE WHITE HOUSE.

McMaster eventually got his way, using out Cohen-Watnick last summer after he became involved with Representative Devin Nunes and his attempts to prove Trump’s claim that President Obama wiretapped Trump Tower. HE THEN WENT TO WORK FOR SILICON VALLEY TECH GIANT ORACLE, according to Talking Points Memo, which said his return to the Trump administration has been in the works for months.

With McMaster out of the way, Trump moved to bring back Cohen-Watnick, Bloomberg reported Wednesday. TRUMP “PERSONALLY ORDERED THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE TO HIRE,” BLOOMBERG SAYS, DESPITE A GENERAL POLICY NOT TO REHIRE PEOPLE WHO ARE FIRED.

[I wonder if we can say “Scaramucci Model?” Hmmmm yes, I thought we could.

So this is what happened:

FLYNN brought him on board.

McMaster didn’t want him on board, and eventually got him ousted.

Ezra went to Oracle - with many administration connections there.
TRUMP HIMSELF brought Ezra BACK to his Administration after McMaster left, in order to WORK WITH SESSIONS]

Part Four - Ezra Cohen-Watnick

Q has mentioned this guy’s name TWICE [[Now, THREE TIMES]] without accompanying explanation. He has stated in #1539 that the information about him, especially in the NY Mag article, is “important to remember.”

[ Q saying “Important to remember” comes across to me like a professor saying those words and implying he or she is giving us an exam gimme! EZRA COHEN WATNIK IS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER!]

The NY Mag article makes mention of where Cohen-Watnick worked after McMaster booted him: ORACLE.

Let’s examine that and remind ourselves of what/who ORACLE is:
Aside from FReeQs associating the word “Oracle” with our own FReeQ newspaper, published on our Q threads by our Editor in Chief, FReeQ Bagster, what Oracle means in this present context is:

ORACLE CORPORATION

oracle.com
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oracle_Corporation

“Oracle Corporation is an American multinational computer technology corporation headquartered in Redwood Shores, California. THE COMPANY SPECIALIZES PRIMARILY IN DEVELOPING AND MARKETING DATABASE SOFTWARE AND TECHNOLOGY, CLOUD ENGINEERED SYSTEMS, AND ENTERPRISE SOFTWARE PRODUCTS — PARTICULARLY ITS OWN BRANDS OF DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS. IN 2018, ORACLE WAS THE THIRD-LARGEST SOFTWARE MAKER BY REVENUE, AFTER MICROSOFT AND ALPHABET.

The company also develops and builds tools for database development and systems of middle-tier software, enterprise resource planning (ERP) software, customer relationship management (CRM) software, and supply chain management (SCM) software.”

History

“Larry Ellison co-founded Oracle Corporation in 1977 with Bob Miner and Ed Oates under the name Software Development Laboratories (SDL). Ellison took inspiration from the 1970 paper written by Edgar F. Codd on relational database management systems (RDBMS) named “A Relational Model of Data for Large Shared Data Banks.” He heard about the IBM System R database from an article in the IBM Research Journal provided by Oates. Ellison wanted to make Oracle’s product compatible with System R, but failed to do so as IBM kept the error codes for their DBMS a secret. SDL changed its name to Relational Software, Inc (RSI) in 1979, then again to Oracle Systems Corporation in 1982, to align itself more closely with its flagship product Oracle Database.

At this stage Bob Miner served as the company’s senior programmer. On March 12, 1986, the company had its initial public offering. In 1995, Oracle Systems Corporation changed its name to Oracle Corporation, officially named Oracle, but sometimes referred to as Oracle Corporation, the name of the holding company. Part of Oracle Corporation’s early success arose from using the C programming language to implement its products. This eased porting to different operating systems (most of which support C)….”

This is a long article, and the various areas of service, including (but not limited to) Oracle Cloud, Hardware, File systems, Operating Systems, and support are outlined.

Recently, Maria Bartiromo interviewed Larry Ellison of Oracle on 10/28/18
I was unable to obtain a link to the entire interview, but did find clips.

*****[[ We already know that DERP RAY KURZWEIL FROM GOOGLE IS BIG ON PUSHING THE BIO-TECH TRANSHUMANISM THING.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Kurzweil.

Is Oracle a bastion where the good guys are working on this higher tech, and possibly AI so there are some moral guidelines being used?For instance, I like the idea of helping people, soldiers for example being fitted with state of the art prosthetics. I get nervous when they start tinkering with the brain and consciousness. Perhaps my concerns are misplaced, but that is where I stand- at least at this moment. ]]*****

6.
Google’s push in to China is “shocking”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aM52EOtmTwY

[THIS SEEMS TO BE A CURRENT TOPIC. Take a peek at 2989 and 2990] [[I think that was referencing Q posts #2989 and 2990. They are about Zuckerberg and FB. ]]

Following are a few notes I made on the fly which caught my attention as I did not have time to do a transcript, or even full topic coverage. I make no promises as to their accuracy, but I think they are reasonably close to what was conveyed:

He made the point that ALL of the biggie tech companies actually use Oracle work product.

He supported Marco Rubio. He says he also was a big contributor to Bill Clinton - neither Repub or Dem.

He was good friends with Bill Clinton and Tony Blair and Rubio, “because they are centrists”

He’s glad economy is doing well.

BIG COMPETITOR IS CHINA, AND WE SHOULD NOT LET ITS ECONOMY PASS US UP. HE WANTS TEAM USA TO DEVELOP AND PROTECT OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTIES. CHINA IS OUR FIRST SERIOUS COMPETITOR SINCE 1930S.

HE COMMENTS ON THE GOOGLE REFUSAL TO ENTER INTO US MILITARY,… AND YET GOOGLE GOES INTO CHINA AND IS WILLING TO CENSOR THE PEOPLE THERE.

HE WANTS CAPITALIST SYSTEMS TO BE VICTORIOUS OVER COMMUNIST SYSTEMS.

He has a charitable foundation for health issues “Cures not Care” - supporting wellness, not cures for sick people.

[[Uh oh.... I have not looked into it, but I REALLY hope it isn’t a derpatorium.]]

He said if he had it to do over, he would be going into biotech.

He wants to see improvements in nutrition and education for children in 3rd world.
As a bonus, here is a clip of Larry Ellison 2 weeks ago. [from Nov 9, 2018]:

“China is our big competitor”

This, ladies and gentlemen, is who Ezra Cohen-Watnick was working for/with.

Part Five Ezra Cohen-Watnick

This is an article from September 12, 2017 after Ezra was removed from his White House position by McMaster.

“Ousted NSC Officer Takes Job at Oracle”

https://www.justsecurity.org/44897/ousted-nsc-official-takes-job-oracle-cohen-watnick/

Some brief excerpts:

“…HIS NEW JOB TITLE IS NOT CONFIRMED AND THE COMPANY DECLINED A REQUEST FOR COMMENT.

The Trump administration already has ties to the company. Safra Catz, CEO of the company along with Mark Hurd, was on the executive committee of the Trump transition team, making her unique among Silicon Valley executives, who have either publicly criticized the administration or avoided being too closely associated with it (one big exception to this is billionaire tech investor Peter Thiel). The Trump transition team even talked to her about becoming the U.S. Trade Representative or Director of National Intelligence, according to a Bloomberg report. In January, she wrote an op-ed in The Hill, arguing why Steven Mnuchin, Trump’s choice for Treasury Secretary, needed to be confirmed quickly….”

[3/7/19 - FWIW, I just did a little dive into SAFRA CATZ - a few little hot pink flags…. But oh well:

Safra A. Catz has served as chief executive officer of Oracle Corporation since 2014 and a member of the company’s board of directors since 2001. She previously served as president of Oracle and has also served as the company’s chief financial officer. Prior to being named president, Catz held various other positions since starting at Oracle in 1999. SHE CURRENTLY SERVES AS A DIRECTOR OF THE WALT DISNEY COMPANY and previously served as a director of HSBC Holdings plc.]

[[Since I posted this, I have decided to upgrade the flag color on Catz from hot pink to at least flaming hot pink to almost scarlet because of the major Disney connection she has.]]

“…Retired Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg, the NSC’s chief of staff, has also worked at Oracle. In 2003…”

“…Kellogg and Cohen-Watnick worked together on the NSC, where from January through early August, Cohen-Watnick was the senior director for intelligence programs. It was a short stint that brought with it plenty of controversy. He was hired by President Donald Trump’s first national security advisor, retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, before Flynn was forced to resign in February. Flynn’s choice of Cohen-Watnick, a 31-year old who previously worked at the Defense Intelligence Agency, was greeted with skepticism by many in the intelligence community who viewed him as too junior for such an important post….”

https://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/3732900/posts?page=158#158]]
Part Six - Ezra Cohen-Watnick

While Oracle, Q, and the Trump administration are close mouthed about Ezra’s role at Oracle, it does seem as though Ellison has been generously backing someone whom the other reports have noted in connection to Ezra: David Nunez.

Excerpt from the NY Times article, which is the one Q posted TWICE:
“…National Security Council aides usually draw little public scrutiny, but Mr. Cohen-Watnick was swept up in the tumult of early 2017 when Mr. Trump accused the previous administration, without evidence, of wiretapping his phones at Trump Tower.

MR. TRUMP’S ALLEGATIONS WERE BOLSTERED BY REPRESENTATIVE DEVIN NUNES OF CALIFORNIA, THE REPUBLICAN CHAIRMAN OF THE HOUSE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE, WHO SAID HE HAD EVIDENCE THAT MR. TRUMP’S COMMUNICATIONS WERE INCIDENTALLY SWEPT UP IN SURVEILLANCE OF FOREIGNERS BY AMERICAN SPY AGENCIES.

MR. NUNES DID NOT DIVULGE THE SOURCES OF THIS INFORMATION, BUT AMERICAN OFFICIALS LATER TOLD THE NEW YORK TIMES THAT MR. COHEN-WATNICK, AT THE INSTRUCTION OF TWO SENIOR WHITE HOUSE OFFICIALS, HELPED PRINT INTELLIGENCE REPORTS THAT LATER SERVED AS MR. NUNES’S PROOF….”

[EZRA HAS THE GOODS which “bolsters” Trump’s claims of “wiretapping.” In other words, it appears to me as though he HAS THE PROOF of that spying.]

And so now, lookie here!

This may be of interest to our own Oracle living in Nunez’ district - bagster - as well as our other California FReeQs!

https://gvwire.com/2018/02/13/silicon-valley-billionaire-ellison-backs-nunes-reelection-bid/

“Silicon Valley Billionaire Ellison Backs Nunes’ Reelection Bid”
Bill McEwen February 13, 2018

“The Daily Beast reports that top Oracle executives have given so much money to Rep. Devin Nunes’ reelection campaign that some contributions had to be returned.”

“In a story headlined “The Silicon Valley Giant Bankrolling Devin Nunes,” reporter Lachlan Markay details contributions from five Oracle executives totaling nearly $35,000.”

“What made the donations stand out, however, was not the size of them—$35,000 was a relatively small amount considering the more than $1.2 million that Nunes has raised so far this cycle. It was the timing of the giving,” Markay writes.”

Oracle Hires Former Trump Intelligence Aid
“THE REPORTER GOES ON TO EXPLAIN THAT EZRA COHEN-WATNICK, FORMERLY A TOP INTELLIGENCE AIDE IN THE TRUMP WHITE HOUSE LINKED TO FORMER NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER MICHAEL FLYNN, “JOINED ORACLE JUST WEEKS BEFORE ITS EXECUTIVES BEGAN WRITING CHECKS TO NUNES.””

“COHEN-WATNICK AND FLYNN ARE CLOSE POLITICAL ALLIES OF NUNES, A REPUBLICAN WHO CHAIRS THE HOUSE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE.”

“Flynn, a retired U.S. Army general, pleaded guilty in December to lying to the FBI about conversations with Russian Ambassador  Sergey I. Kislyak in late 2016.”

Ellison Is a Political Outlier in Silicon Valley

“In addition, Markay explains that “Oracle is a Republican outlier in Silicon Valley, and its executives’ right-leaning politics (and political contributions) present opportunities in Trump’s Washington unavailable to competitors like Amazon, a frequent target of (President) Trump’s ire.” Oracle’s chairman and chief technology officer is Larry Ellison. Forbes estimates Ellison’s financial worth is $58.9 billion.”

Nunes Has History of Landslide Victories

“Nunes, of Tulare, customarily wins reelection by landslide margins in a district with a large Republican voter registration edge.”

“This year, three Democrats are challenging Nunes in California’s 22nd District. One of them, Fresno County assistant district attorney Andrew Janz, is receiving national attention. That attention is largely the result of Nunes’ controversial chairmanship of the House Intelligence Committee.”

“THE DAILY BEAST STORY GOES INTO GREAT DETAIL ABOUT COHEN-WATNICK’S RELATIONSHIP WITH NUNES. IT ALSO EXPLAINS WHY SOME OF THE ORACLE DONATIONS HAD TO BE RETURNED. YOU CAN READ THE STORY AT THIS LINK.”

[[Link to ADDENDUM from the 2nd time I posted material on Ezra Cohen-Watnik. As has been the case throughout this spelunk, the updated commentary/data is encased in the double braces:

https://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/3732900/posts?page=168#168]]

ADDENDUM - TAKE AWAYS ABOUT EZRA COHEN WATNIK
(11/9/18) So, my take away, from all this is:

1> that Oracle would not make any statement about WHAT WAS EZRA DOING AT ORACLE???

2> that there were already a number of administration connections to Oracle.

3> Ezra seems to be a Mystery Man…. And Q has been basically keeping it that way!

However, because of the tie to Nunez, there has to be a huge Intelligence element involved here that not only does Q and the Administration respect, but also tech giant Larry Ellison as well. It seems that there is some compelling reason that we are able to see Nunez firmly ensconced on his congressional seat. BOTH ORACLES, ELLISON AND BAGSTER HAVE SEEN TO IT! :-D

4> For such a young man, I think we can definitely conclude that he has enormous capability and is viewed by Q and POTUS to be an important human resource.

5> The administration had connections with Oracle, and smoothed the way for Ezra to work there. But note that the timing of his entrance to Oracle also corresponded with increased funding of Nunez’ candidacy.

IS EZRA AT LEAST A COMPONENT OF THE “STEALTH BOMBER” MENTIONED BY Q?
AS OUR OWN ORACLE WOULD SAY, “STAY TUNED.”

I’ll follow Q’s directive and “keep all of this in mind!”……
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
3/7/19
...Which I have certainly been doing! Hence this revisit of this November 2018 post.

In reviewing this information about EZRA COHEN WATNIK, the various career moves of sometimes rather short duration caught my eye.

Recall:

Ezra brought in by Flynn
Stayed until ousted by McMaster
Went to ORACLE - which was/is chock full of Administration supporters
Was brought back by TRUMP himself to work for SESSIONS after McMaster left

It brought to my mind this thought:

His pattern of being in some of his positions only a brief time seem perhaps to fit the Scaramucci model. Although in his case, it was McMaster who fired him, and not POTUS. However he WAS kept in his position longer than McMaster wanted him, by others close to the President. Perhaps McMaster could oust him because he had finished his “Scaramucci” assignment - then was sent to Oracle.....then brought back to do more Scaramucci under Sessions?

[I did not locate a source stating if he is still I the DOJ with Barr, but I did locate a source which claims to have a photo of him, which are supposed to be quite scarce:

https://heavy.com/news/2017/03/ezra-cohen-watnick-devin-nunes-sources-wiretapping-intelligence-donald-trump-nsc-wife-who-is-age-staffer/]

In addition to all the above, it seems useful to examine the following drops:

Last April, we received this drop:

#1201
Anonymous says:

Trap card played…nice work Q
Q says:
TRUMP card coming.
Q

We also received this drop on March 3 2019:
#2936
At what stage in the game do you play the TRUMP card?
Q
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
We have also been assured in #2992 that:
“[DARPA>GOOG]
Re-review past drops.
Major steps underway to challenge these control pockets.
Q”

“Major steps underway to challenge these control pockets.”

Is it just possible that Ezra Watnik Cohen is “The Trump Card?”…or at least part of it?….and is it possible that we may soon begin to learn what his critical role has been / will be?

And might, I also ask, is it possible he is a “Stealth Bomber?”
We’ve seen that phrase in connection with Whittaker, the FBI/DOJ, and Sessions. Is he their “Stealth Bomber?”

These are questions which transfix me and make me think I’m onto something here…. But it could also be true that I’m starting to listen to that crazy lady who stares at me from the bathroom mirror…..

[[An updated Addendum will be in the next and ending post to this dig.]]

[[UPDATED COMMENTARY/ DATA FOLLOWS:]]

FWIW, Ezra has now scored a Wikipedia entry, which I don’t believe had been available before.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ezra_Cohen-Watnick

The wikipedia page confirms that Ezra IS WITH BARR! I did not know that for sure in the precious, 2nd posting of this material.

“…EZRA ASA COHEN-WATNICK IS THE NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER TO UNITED STATES ATTORNEY GENERAL and a former Senior Director for Intelligence Programs for the United States National Security Council….”

It is also interesting that his picture remains rare. Wikipedia does not post one on his page.

Here is another little bit of info from the wiki page:

“…Cohen-Watnick gained a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Pennsylvania in 2008 and then reportedly worked for the Office of Naval Intelligence after graduation. Before joining the White House, Cohen-Watnick worked for the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), beginning in 2010, where he served in Miami, Haiti, Virginia and Afghanistan. Cohen-Watnick was accepted into the training program for the Defense Clandestine Service.

Cohen-Watnick underwent training at Camp Peary (commonly known as “The Farm”), where he was trained by the Central Intelligence Agency.[4] He was assigned to Afghanistan, with a GS-13 rank. He was temporarily assigned to the Defense Intelligence Agency Headquarters in 2014. Cohen-Watnick left the DIA for the NSC on 20 January 2017….”

DID YOU CATCH THAT??? HE WORKED IN HAITI - with that job cycle beginning 2010???!!

We can only imagine what he witnessed/found out. He not only reportedly has the goods on the early spying on Trump, but also it appears it is imaginable that he may even have an assortment of goods and goodies on the Clintons! I realize I’m leaping here, but tell me honestly if you don’t think this is not in the realm of the possible!

More from Mr. Wiki:

“…It is alleged that Cohen-Watnick inadvertently identified reports suggesting that members of Trump’s campaign team had been subjected to incidental surveillance by the United States intelligence community, as part of an unrelated review of privacy procedures. This information was passed on to Chairman of the United States House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Devin Nunes by Assistant White House Counsel Michael Ellis. IN APRIL 2017 THE ASSOCIATED PRESS QUOTED A U.S. OFFICIAL AS SAYING THAT ALTHOUGH COHEN-WATNICK HAD ACCESS TO THOSE KINDS OF INTELLIGENCE MATERIALS, HE DID NOT PLAY A ROLE IN HELPING NUNES GAIN ACCESS TO THE DOCUMENTS. According to a U.S. official, Cohen-Watnick was not involved in showing the material to Nunes, did not clear Nunes onto the White House grounds, did not review the material with Nunes, and was not even aware that the material was going to be shared with Chairman Nunes….”

[[Interesting - so did he or did he not help Nunes with learning about certain info? I’m going with Q (from Part 6) and saying he did. But now I’m wondering why they are quoting a source saying he didn’t. ]]

AND

“…His wife worked for Ketchum Inc., where as an intern she did public relations work for the Russian government....”

[[So what? She worked for PR….for the Russians….AS AN INTERN!!!! - who of course very likely had all kinds of autonomous ability to pick and choose the assignment she was given - NOT!

The DERPS are trying everything to keep RUSSIA! RUSSIA! RUSSIA !!! alive, aren’t they? I suspect they know, just as we do from Q, that her husband is VERY important… and they are trying to besmirch him and his wife any possible way they can to get out I’m front of what he can possibly reveal publicly about them. JMHO.]]

I found another link having some good summary info on him:

“Ezra Cohen-Watnick: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know”
Updated Aug 2, 2017 at 6:22pm

****THIS STORY ACTUALLY DOES POST A PICTURE OF HIM.****

“…One official also told the Post that Cohen-Watnick is a hawk when it comes to Iran. He is “very big on how we can get more aggressive against Iran, and very dismissive that [Tehran] might escalate… Ezra is really a big fan of covert-y action stuff,” the official told the Post. The Post also reports that Cohen-Watnick doesn’t agree with CIA assessments that economic and diplomatic pressure is the way to go in Iran policy….”

“…Cohen-Watnick is close to Jared Kushner, a top adviser for Trump, reports the Washington Post. Kushner is also married to Trump’s daughter, Ivanka Trump.

[[I’m wondering if we actually are to believe this about his hawkishness. If he is good friends with Jared and Ivanka... and with POTUS, I am having trouble thinking he is an outright Hawk. But I could be completely in error here. ]]

Like Kushner, Cohen-Watnick is Jewish. His marriage to Rebecca Miller was listed on a newsletter from Ohr Kodesh Congregation, a Conservative synagogue located just outside Washington, D.C.…”

[[“OHR???” Hebrew word? Name of a family who sponsored the synagogue? If a family name, is there some connection to another Ohr who figures in our Q researches and story? Bruce Ohr is from California, middle name is Genesoke. It doesn’t seem likely that he has any ties to whoever/whatever the Ohr is in regards to that synagogue. What an interesting coincidence to run into that name in this context. ]]

“…Voter Records.com lists Cohen-Watnick as registered to vote in Florida as a member of the Republican Party….”

We definitely gotta watch out for news on Ezra Cohen-Watnick!]]

End of ADDENDUM[[S]] and this round of posts/commentary on Ezra Cohen-Watnick.
