And public names it is. The Martens find PropOrNot background ties to the billionaire Koch brothers, to the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation, to the Sarah Scaife Foundation (the Mellon fortune), ExxonMobil, US Senators Chris Murphy and Rob Portman, who tie into Citigroup and Goldman Sachs, "two Wall Street behemoths that would very much like to pivot the national debate to anything other than Wall Street power and corruption."

Read the Martens' report. This is an important report. It shows how money operates against the vast bulk of the American people.

You can see the kind of power that intends to close down truth in America and throughout the entirety of the Western world. How am I going to stand up to this kind of power? I cannot even afford a lawyer to file a defamation suit against the Washington Post, as Naked Capitalism has done. Somehow CounterPunch got off the list. Probably CP has pro bono attorneys. If any of my readers are fighting attorneys, I will split with you any damages you can obtain in a lawsuit against Bezos' trophy newspaper.

If we get enough money for IPE, I won't have to make these requests for reader support.

So here is the deal, go after Bezos' billions. Sue on behalf of this website for libel, and it is a 50-50 split.

I don't expect any takers, because it is expensive for an attorney to take on the system. If he or she wins the case, he or she is in the money. If he or she loses the case, they are finished. The ruling oligarchy does not forgive; It destroys.

Perhaps the way to minimize the risk is a class action suit in behalf of the 200 on the list. I tried to contact Naked Capitalism about this, but like so much on the Internet, Naked Capitalism is set up only to be contacted by advertisers, etc. A former Assistant Secretary of the US Treasury cannot contact Naked Capitalism. The marvel of the digital era is that communication is impossible.

This website is supported financially by a small percentage of the readership. If each of the 400,000 who read this website contributed $1 dollar per month, I could hire lawyers and engineers to protect this website from libel and from hacking. If the 400,000 readers of this website contributed only $1 per year, it would be enough for me not to have to put up with the scumbag Washington Post, a suspected CIA asset throughout its entire existence.

If the millions of readers worldwide who rely on this website contributed $1 per year, I would be able to take on Bezos and his fake news newspaper and drive the lying presstitutes into the ground.

Alas, I am ready to fight, but where is my army?
