There Is No Turning Back, This Is The End Game, He Knows The People Have His Back – Ep. 3013

• An FBI whistleblower told congressional investigators that the D.C. field office pushed local offices to open criminal investigations into Americans based solely on financial transactions Bank of America tracked and voluntarily provided to the bureau, according to testimony reviewed by The Federalist.
• “Bank of America, with no directive from the FBI, datamined its customer base,” whistleblower and recently retired FBI supervisory intelligence analyst George Hill told investigators for the House Judiciary Committee, according to Hill’s testimony.
• According to the material reviewed, Hill testified that on either Jan. 7 or 8, 2021, Bank of America provided the FBI’s D.C. field office a “huge list” of individuals who used Bank of America credit or debit cards in D.C., or the surrounding Maryland and Virginia areas, on Jan. 5, 6, or 7, 2021. Bank of America then elevated to the top of the list anyone who had ever (through Jan. 6, 2021) used a Bank of America product to purchase a firearm. 
• The D.C. field office, which oversaw the Jan. 6 investigation, distributed the Bank of America list internally to field offices throughout the country, Hill testified in his deposition. Hill further explained that his supervisor at the Boston field office refused to open an investigation on the individuals flagged on the list because there was “no predication.” “There’s no crime that was committed by using a [Bank of America] product in the District or around the District,” Hill testified, explaining his supervisor’s reasoning for why no “further action” was required. 
• But the D.C. field office pushed back, according to Hill. The D.C. field office told Boston’s supervisory special agent, or SSA, he needed to open up the cases. When the local office’s SSA refused, the D.C. field office threatened to call the assistant special agent in charge, or ASAC, of the local office, Hill told the congressional committee. The SSA stood firm in his refusal, as did the local ASAC, Hill said, even though the D.C. field office then threatened the ASAC that it would escalate the matter to the office’s special agent in charge, or SAC.

•   the World Economic Forum encouraged business leaders to turn their companies into “corporate activists: companies that take concrete action” to change society. And many of the largest companies heeded this call, setting up their own racial-justice programs.
• Amazon, for example, created its own program called the “Black Business Accelerator,” a program offering a “suite of resources” only to black-owned businesses. Other businesses — those owned by whites, Asians, and Hispanics — were ineligible for the Accelerator. Amazon also created a second program, the “Impact Accelerator: Black Founders” program, which offered much more — up to $225,000 in grants to black-owned businesses.
• Comcast, America’s second-largest media company, started the RISE program, which offered small-business owners technology makeovers, marketing services, and millions of dollars of grants. These benefits were available free of charge to selected recipients, but white male business owners were ineligible for the program.
• This new aggressive form of social-justice spending — corporate-run programs designed to help only certain minorities — faced scrutiny in the courts because federal and state laws prohibit racially discriminatory programs like this. Amazon was sued twice, once over a $10,000 grant given to nonwhite delivery service drivers, and then again over the Black Business Accelerator.
• In response to this growing litigation, corporations have changed tactics: Many now launder their race discrimination through third-party organizations. Visa, for example, touts an entrepreneur program called the “Visa Entrepreneurship Program.” The program is available only for “Black and African American entrepreneurs to grow their ideas.” But contrary to website branding, Visa doesn’t run this program. A Delaware-based public benefit corporation called Bridge for Billions designs and manages so-called diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs. Bridge for Billions runs these DEI programs on behalf of corporations like Visa. The Bridge for Billions website touts Chanel, Coca-Cola, Salesforce, and Heineken as corporations that “trust us” with their social-justice programs.
• Softbank — one of the world’s largest corporations — promotes its SB Opportunity Fund, which is described as an “uncapped evergreen fund” investing in new startups, but only black, Latino, and Native American startups. Softbank, apparently realizing that handing out contracts based on race is illegal under federal law, has outsourced this project to a separate, Florida-based company called SB Opportunity Fund Manager, LLC.
