Bezos (Amazon) starteed in Seattle 1994 after grooming with Wall St. hedge fund DE Shaw, I met him briefly from U of WA in 97. .

AMZN never turned a profit in 17 years, not until a cooked quarterly profit in 2011. Why cook a qtrly profit after 17 years?

Facts:
* WAPO was on verge of bankruptcy.
* CIA wanted WAPO acquired.
* Bezos father was CIA, he’s a CIA kid, so is Susan Rice. Ergo, Bezos a known entity by the Company.
* CIA wanted to award $10+ Billion to someone for ‘Cloud Services’
* AMZN considered part of new tech breed internet company so cloud services is in their swim lane
* Can’t award large government contract to longtime unprofitable company.
* AMZN needed to cook a profit to get large CIA contract.
* CIA awarded cloud services contract to AMZN but conditional that AMZN acquire WAPO for $150M.

Post Trump fact:
* Trump pulled CIA cloud services contract on renewal and awarded to Microsoft.

CIA is pissed, Bezos is pissed, AMZN according to financial press is “reviewing their options”.

Snowden was CIA, dispatched to Booz-Allen (DC spook outfit body shop for former spooks). Booz sent Snowden on contract to NSA. Snowden’s marching orders were to steal NSA tools and make available to CIA. CIA had gone rogue globalist.

“the metadata can be used to follow up on the ‘rest of the data’”

Nope. “Metadata” does no such thing.


As a former systems analyst and programming manager and programmer, I know exactly what metadata is, and it CAN be used to follow up on the 'rest of the data'.

From Wikileaks:

Metadata is "data that provides information about other data". In other words, it is "data about data." Many distinct types of metadata exist, including descriptive metadata, structural metadata, administrative metadata, reference metadata and statistical metadata.

Descriptive metadata is descriptive information about a resource. It is used for discovery and identification. It includes elements such as title, abstract, author, and keywords.

Structural metadata is metadata about containers of data and indicates how compound objects are put together, for example, how pages are ordered to form chapters. It describes the types, versions, relationships and other characteristics of digital materials.

Administrative metadata is information to help manage a resource, like resource type, permissions, and when and how it was created.

Reference metadata is information about the contents and quality of statistical data.

Statistical metadata, also called process data, may describe processes that collect, process, or produce statistical data.

I don’t think our Founders would see it that way.

So, the 4th amendment would not apply?
