Obama’s former Attorney General, Eric Holder, performed an audit of an Israeli Company, AnyVision, in late 2019 and early 2020. Holder and his team claimed there was no evidence AnyVision had violated its facial recognition pledge.
The Gateway Pundit has obtained evidence that Holder’s team had evidence indicating this was not the case.
On November 16, 2019, NBC News reported that former Obama Attorney General, Eric Holder, was hired by Microsoft to audit an Israeli company regarding its compliance with Microsoft policies:
Microsoft has hired former United States Attorney General Eric Holder to conduct an audit of facial recognition company AnyVision to determine whether it complies with Microsoft’s ethical principles on how the biometric surveillance technology should be used. Microsoft’s venture capital arm, M12, invested in AnyVision as part of a $74 million Series A funding round in June. Under the terms of the deal, Microsoft stipulated that AnyVision should comply with its six ethical principles to guide its facial recognition work: fairness, transparency, accountability, nondiscrimination, notice and consent, and lawful surveillance. The last principle states, “We will advocate for safeguards for people’s democratic freedoms in law enforcement surveillance scenarios and will not deploy facial recognition technology in scenarios that we believe will put these freedoms at risk.” AnyVision, headquartered in Israel, sells an “advanced tactical surveillance” software system, Better Tomorrow. It lets customers identify individuals and objects in any live camera feed, such as a security camera or smartphone, and then track targets as they move between different feeds. NBC News reported in October that according to five sources familiar with the matter, AnyVision’s technology has powered a secret military surveillance project that has monitored Palestinians in the West Bank. The project was so successful that AnyVision won Israel’s top defense price [prize] in 2018 for preventing “hundreds of terror attacks” using “large amounts of data.”
On March 31 it was reported that Holder’s audit of AnyVision was over and the company received a clean audit result confirming there was no indication AnyVision had violated Microsoft’s facial recognition pledge. Regardless, Microsoft divested of its investment in the firm at that time:
Covington & Burling has completed its audit of the Israeli facial recognition specialist AnyVision. The audit was carried out at the request of Microsoft in an effort to determine whether or not AnyVision’s technology was being used in a mass surveillance scheme of Palestinians in the West Bank, as had been alleged in a series of media reports in late 2019. Microsoft was a minority investor in AnyVision, and had asked the company to sign the Microsoft Global Finance Portfolio Company Pledge on Facial Recognition before that deal was finalized. A mass surveillance program would represent a breach of that pledge. Microsoft has consistently advocated for oversight and the ethical use of facial recognition, and has previously refused to sell the technology to law enforcement agencies and to government organizations that plan to use it for purposes of mass surveillance. The AnyVision audit was carried out by former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder. His team did not find evidence to support the allegations about a mass surveillance program in the West Bank, and concluded that AnyVision had not violated its facial recognition pledge. However, AnyVision did acknowledge that its technology has been deployed at border checkpoints between the West Bank and Israel.
However, we have obtained information that this was not the case – Holder’s team had obtained information that supported the allegations about a mass surveillance program in the West Bank and therefore AnyVision had violated its facial recognition pledge.
On November 20th, 2019, an individual from Microsoft emailed an individual with AnyVision and stated that Microsoft had sent HB [Hebron system – screenshots below] to the C&B [Covington Law firm] reviewer. The emailer went on to state that “Legal instructed us to deny any surveillance activity and high FDRs. [False Detection Rates] They also told us to delete all of the content from our systems.”:
Below are screenshots showing AnyVision was targeting certain individuals:
Eric Holder’s Covington team was provided information from Microsoft that showed that AnyVision was surveying individuals in the West Bank. AnyVision also denied any FDRs. Instead of reporting this as a breach to the Microsoft agreement for facial recognition, Holder’s team decided to claim they had no evidence of wrongdoing. It appears this was not the case.
Microsoft was wise in divesting of its stake in AnyVision.
Obama’s former AG Eric Holder appears to be continuing the corruption and dishonesty he portrayed while heading up the DOJ.

FLASHBACK: General Flynn and His Business Partner Targeted by Mueller and Obama’s Deep State for Reporting Obama and Clinton’s Ties to Islamic Terrorist in Pennsylvania

On July 24 , 2019 We published the following post regarding General Flynn .

On July 24, 2019 We published the following post regarding General Flynn. We thought it was worth republishing today.
General Flynn and his business partner and son were targeted by the Obama Deep State for outing the former President and the Clintons in aiding and abetting an Islamic terrorist in Pennsylvania.
The Flynns and America are still being persecuted for standing up for America!
A federal jury on Tuesday found General Flynn’s associate Bijan Rafiekian guilty of illegally lobbying for Turkey after just 4 hours of deliberation. Politico reported that Rafiekian, an Iranian-American and former business partner of Flynn’s was caught up in Mueller’s Russian collusion witch hunt — for his work with Turkey.
The timing of this announcement is suspect because Mueller is scheduled to be in front of Congress tomorrow to talk about his sham investigation.
Mueller investigated a $600,000 contract and public relations work Rafekian did and determined he was working as an unregistered foreign agent while he worked for the Flynn Intel Group.
In the summer of 2016, a Turkish businessman named Ekim Alptekin paid the Flynn Intel Group (through a Dutch shell company) $600,000 to investigate a Turkish cleric living in the United States — the Turkish cleric, Fetullah Gulen was living in exile after the Turkish government accused him of masterminding a failed coup in July of 2016. Gulen is a allegedly a terrorist.
Government prosecutors even admitted that they did not have evidence that the Turkish government actually paid the $600,000 contract to investigate Gulen, but that they have emails from Flynn, Rafiekian and Alptekin that suggest the Turkish government was being kept up to date on the investigation.
The US government planned to call General Flynn in as a witness, however at the last minute they moved to designate Flynn as an un-indicted co-conspirator in the case against Rafiekian.
Government thugs also tried to intimidate the younger Flynn, Mike Flynn Jr. and named him as a government witness — Prosecutors ended up not calling in Mike Flynn Jr. as a witness.
This entire sham is in part due to General Flynn outing terrorist Gulen after the Trump election win in 2016.
On November 10, 2017, we reported how the Wall Street Journal had received information from anonymous sources who said that General Flynn and his son Michael were involved in a plot to kidnap Muslim cleric and return him to Turkey.
The Wall Street Journal reported –
Special Counsel Robert Mueller is investigating former White House national security adviser Mike Flynn’s alleged role in a plan to forcibly remove a Muslim cleric living in the U.S. and deliver him to Turkey in return for millions of dollars, according to people familiar with the investigation.
(Of course in the aftermath of Obama it is now customary and expected for FBI, DOJ and other government officials to leak true and false stories to the left wing media as long as they attack or discredit President Trump or anyone who voted for him. These corrupt and criminal leaks will never be investigated or addressed in court with the Deep State in charge of the US government.)
Regardless, the story may have been placed with the WSJ to entice General Flynn to later plead guilty to lying to the FBI. Of course, what Flynn supposedly lied about has never been leaked through the mainstream liberal media.
But based on a report at Neonrevolt, there is much more to this story.
In November 2017, General Flynn wrote an op-ed for the Hill. In the piece Flynn wrote –
The primary bone of contention between the U.S. and Turkey is Fethullah Gülen, a shady Islamic mullah residing in Pennsylvania whom former President Clinton once called his “friend” in a well circulated video.
Flynn then shared a video of President Clinton claiming that the shady mullah is a friend of the US –
Flynn then shared:
Gülen portrays himself as a moderate, but he is in fact a radical Islamist. He has publicly boasted about his “soldiers” waiting for his orders to do whatever he directs them to do. If he were in reality a moderate, he would not be in exile, nor would he excite the animus of Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and his government. Trending: JUST IN: Fulton County Clerk Releases New Statement on Leaked Trump Docs That Matched Fani Willis’s Indictments and It’s a Doozy
Flynn then compared Gulen to leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood and “Turkey’s Osama Bin Laden”. He discussed how Gulen brought into the US numerous individuals to run his charter schools he set up:
To add insult to injury, American taxpayers are helping finance Gülen’s 160 charter schools in the United States. These schools have been granted more H1-B visas than Google. It is inconceivable that our visa officers have approved thousands of visas for English teachers whose English is incomprehensible. A CBS “60 Minutes” program documented a conversation with one such imported English teacher from Turkey. Several lawsuits, including some in Ohio and Texas, point to irregularities in the operation of these schools.
Flynn then dropped this bomb about the Clinton Foundation’s relationship with this terrorist:
However, funding seems to be no problem for Gülen’s network. Hired attorneys work to keep the lucrative government source of income for Gülen and his network going. Influential charities such as Cosmos Foundation continue their support for Gulen’s charter schools. Incidentally, Cosmos Foundation is a major donor to Clinton Foundation. No wonder Bill Clinton calls Mullah Gülen “his friend.” It is now no secret that Huma Abedin, Hillary Clinton’s close aide and confidante, worked for 12 years as the associate editor for a journal published by the London-based Institute of Minority Muslim Affairs. This institute has promoted the thoughts of radical Muslim thinkers such as Qutb, al Bana and others.
Neonrevolt notes a New York Times article that discusses the terrorist organization in the US led by Gulen. What is happening is this:
The taxpayers fund the school system The school abuses the H1-B visa program to import “teachers.” The “teachers” get paid by taxpayers. The “teachers” then donate 40% of their paychecks BACK to the Gulen Movement. And Gulen goes and donates a chunk of this change back to the Clinton Foundation… while also trying to subvert and overthrow the Turkish government.
Neonrevolt then notes some statistics on the corruption in the US related to the Gulen group.
Gulenists’ contributions to congressional campaigns have been known for some time, as Buzzfeed reported last year. Texas Reps. Sheila Jackson-Lee, and Henry Cuellar, both Democrats, are among the biggest benefactors of Gulen contributions. USA Today reported last month that the House ethics committee has investigated more than 200 trips taken by members of Congress since 2008 that were secretly funded by Gulen groups. Clinton has been the biggest recipient of Gulenist donations of any presidential candidate this cycle, federal election records show.
This all leads up to today –
General Flynn as we all know now was targeted by Obama and the Clintons for some reason. He knew too much, he disagreed with Obama on ISIS and he was working with Trump, but maybe his oped was what scared them the most. He had to be taken down and so he was targeted.
He lost his job with the Trump team due to shady actions by the Deep State and then was targeted by the Mueller team. He eventually pled guilty to a crime of lying to the FBI.
What we know now is that based on Flynn’s current trial date, set in August, his cooperation with the government should come to an end soon.
The DOJ’s website shared this about his partner’s case –
According to allegations in the indictment, the two men were involved in a conspiracy to covertly influence U.S. politicians and public opinion against a Turkish citizen living in the United States whose extradition had been requested by the Government of Turkey. The plot included using a company founded by Rafiekian and a person referred to as “Person A” in the indictment. The company, referred to as “Company A” in the indictment, provided services based upon Person A’s national security expertise.
According to Neonrevolt, person A is General Flynn and Company A is his company. The individual that reportedly hired the Flynn group was a man by the name of Ekim Alptekin, who is connected with a consortium of Deep State spies –
How was Alptekin connected to the authors of Spygate? It depends on who you think they are, but he’s a Dutch citizen of Turkish origin with an array of connections that include Stefan Halper, Joseph Mifsud, George Soros, and senior U.S. officials, some of the connections through Soros’s European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR), which has appeared as a hub for other Spygate connections in Europe. Halper is not a member, but shows up for ECFR events.
This whole thing looks like another setup. Flynn, his business partner and his son were all wrongly targeted by Obama’s Deep State.
God bless General Michael Flynn and all Americans connected to this evil Mueller witch hunt.
(Followup: Note that the government has reviewed General Flynn’s case and recommended it be dismissed. The case against Flynn’s business partner was dismissed upon appeal.)

Fauci Emails NY Times Reporter With Warning of ‘Needless Suffering and Death’ in Opening Country ‘Prematurely’

Dr. Anthony Fauci emailed New York Times reporter Sheryl Gay Stolberg Monday night with a preview of his message for a Senate hearing on Tuesday in which he warns of “ needless suffering and death ” if the country opens “ prematurely ” from the COVID-19 Chinese coronavirus lockdowns .
Fauci , who is on ‘ modified quarantine ’ for contact with someone who tested positive for the virus is scheduled to testify by remote for the hearing held by the Senate Health Education , Labor and Pensions Committee .
The hearing will feature testimony by Fauci and three other @ @ @ @ @ @ @ force .
“ The major message that I wish to convey to the Senate HLP committee tomorrow is the danger of trying to open the country prematurely .

The hearing will feature testimony by Fauci and three other members of the White House coronavirus task force.

Stolberg posted Fauci’s message to Twitter:
“The major message that I wish to convey to the Senate HLP committee tomorrow is the danger of trying to open the country prematurely.

Governor Tom Wolf , D , Pennsylvania , is popping his lid at the notion that counties are planning on opening up without his approval and in defiance of his orders .
In the minds of the democrats , only they are allowed to decree when businesses are allowed to operate .
In fact , Governor Wolf is vowing to withhold funding from these counties .
Wolf is somehow framing this as an act of “ surrender ” and “ cowardice.
” Because somehow in the minds of the democrats it ’ s brave to stay quarantined in your own @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or more Pennsylvania counties who are opening up their businesses against the dictatorial edicts of Democrat Governor Tom Wolf has apparently thrown him into a blind rage , which was further exacerbated by a Tweet from President Trump in support of Pennsylvania patriots and a news conference by State Senator and gubernatorial aspirant Doug Mastriano , in which he called for the resignation of the incompetent Health Secretary Rachel Levine .
Wolf attacked business owners who reopen from coronavirus shutdowns before they are allowed and the politicians who have encouraged them , calling @ @ @ @ @ @ @ consequences to both groups .
Wolf said he would revoke state licenses for businesses that open early and stop some state funding to county governments , saying businesses that open before the state allows could lose licenses that are required to operate , including liquor licenses , health certificates and certificates of occupancy .
“ These folks are choosing to desert in the face of the enemy , in the middle of a war that Pennsylvanians are winning and must win , ” said Wolf , seemingly angry at times , at a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Altman stated that companies that ignore Wolf ’ s edicts could be jeopardizing their insurance coverage and putting themselves at risk of having their claims denied , adding that many policies have provisions that exclude coverage stemming from “ illegal acts or conduct , ” and could result in denied claims for property damage , protection from liability and other hazards should a business decide to reopen in violation of Wolf ’ s order .
TRENDING : Breaking Update : DNI Richard Grenell Declassifies List of Obama Officials Involved in `` Unmasking '' @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Gov .
Tom Wolf issued a warning Monday about the consequences for counties and businesses that plan to reopen in defiance of his shutdown order .
During a news conference , Wolf urged Pennsylvanians to stay the course in the fight against the coronavirus .
He said reopening early is a cowardly act .
“ Over this past weekend , some have decided to surrender to this enemy .
These are politicians who were elected to serve their fellow citizens .
Others are business owners who have chosen to serve their customers by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
These folks are choosing to desert in the face of the enemy , in the middle of a war that we Pennsylvanians are winning and that we must win , ” Wolf said .
Wolf said reopening decisions are based on the advice of scientists , medical professionals , and the state ’ s epidemiologists .
Case counts , modeling , geographic location , contact tracing and testing capabilities are taken into account , Wolf said .
Each county is considered individually before it is placed in the red , yellow or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ allow residents in a red county to get sick because their local officials can ’ t see the invisible risk of the virus in their community .
So , I must and I will impose consequences if a county locally lifts restrictions when it has not yet been given the go-ahead by the state , ” Wolf said .

Governor Tom Wolf, D, Pennsylvania, is popping his lid at the notion that counties are planning on opening up without his approval and in defiance of his orders. In the minds of the democrats, only they are allowed to decree when businesses are allowed to operate. In fact, Governor Wolf is vowing to withhold funding from these counties.
Wolf is somehow framing this as an act of “surrender” and “cowardice.” Because somehow in the minds of the democrats it’s brave to stay quarantined in your own home.
The Franklin County Journal reports:
The revolt by a dozen or more Pennsylvania counties who are opening up their businesses against the dictatorial edicts of Democrat Governor Tom Wolf has apparently thrown him into a blind rage, which was further exacerbated by a Tweet from President Trump in support of Pennsylvania patriots and a news conference by State Senator and gubernatorial aspirant Doug Mastriano, in which he called for the resignation of the incompetent Health Secretary Rachel Levine. Wolf attacked business owners who reopen from coronavirus shutdowns before they are allowed and the politicians who have encouraged them, calling them “cowardly”, threatening serious consequences to both groups.

Pennsylvania Insurance Commissioner Jessica Altman stated that companies that ignore Wolf’s edicts could be jeopardizing their insurance coverage and putting themselves at risk of having their claims denied, adding that many policies have provisions that exclude coverage stemming from “illegal acts or conduct,” and could result in denied claims for property damage, protection from liability and other hazards should a business decide to reopen in violation of Wolf’s order.

Excerpt from Cohen’s informed speculative article published Monday:

That person would be the current Speaker of the House, Democratic Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi. Is this at all likely? In these uncertain times nothing can be ruled out. But there is some irony that the President who was elected over the nation’s first major party woman candidate would nonetheless have a role in the elevation of the nation’s first woman president, even if just for a short window of time.

Breaking Update: DNI Richard Grenell Declassifies List of Obama Officials Involved in “Unmasking” Flynn in His Conversations with Kislyak

Breaking update : Acting DNI Richard Grenell declassified the list of Obama officials involved in the unmasking of General Mike Flynn in his conversations with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak .
Grenell was seen delivering a satchel of documents to the DOJ last week and according to ABC , he also discussed the list of Obama officials involved in unmasking Flynn .
The names of the officials who were involved in unmasking General Flynn in his calls to Kislyak have not been released to the public yet .
TRENDING : Breaking Update : DNI Richard Grenell Declassifies List of Obama Officials @ @ @ @ @ @ @ His Conversations with Kislyak Acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell has sought to declassify a list of former Obama administration officials who were allegedly involved in the so-called “ unmasking ” of former national security adviser Michael Flynn in his conversations with the former Russian ambassador during the presidential transition , a senior U.S. official tells ABC News .
Grenell , who remains the U.S. ambassador to Germany along with being the acting DNI , visited the Justice Department last week to discuss the declassification of the list , according to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s December 2016 phone calls with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak were intercepted and Flynn was illegally unmasked — after Flynn ’ s identity was revealed , the transcripts of his phone calls were then leaked to the Washington Post .
Flynn ’ s leaked calls were published by WaPo ’ s David Ignatius on January 12 , 2017 which led to Flynn being fired as National Security Advisor in February of 2017 .

Breaking update: Acting DNI Richard Grenell declassified the list of Obama officials involved in the unmasking of General Mike Flynn in his conversations with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak.
Grenell was seen delivering a satchel of documents to the DOJ last week and according to ABC, he also discussed the list of Obama officials involved in unmasking Flynn.
The names of the officials who were involved in unmasking General Flynn in his calls to Kislyak have not been released to the public yet.
ABC reported:
Acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell has sought to declassify a list of former Obama administration officials who were allegedly involved in the so-called “unmasking” of former national security adviser Michael Flynn in his conversations with the former Russian ambassador during the presidential transition, a senior U.S. official tells ABC News. Grenell, who remains the U.S. ambassador to Germany along with being the acting DNI, visited the Justice Department last week to discuss the declassification of the list, according to the official.
Recall, General Flynn’s December 2016 phone calls with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak were intercepted and Flynn was illegally unmasked — after Flynn’s identity was revealed, the transcripts of his phone calls were then leaked to the Washington Post.
Flynn’s leaked calls were published by WaPo’s David Ignatius on January 12, 2017 which led to Flynn being fired as National Security Advisor in February of 2017.
Obama’s former NatSec advisor Susan Rice was forced to acknowledge she unmasked Trump’s senior advisors during the transition period, however she maintained it was not politically motivated.
According to previous reports by John Solomon, Obama’s Ambassador to the UN Samantha Power also unmasked hundreds of Americans in Obama’s last year in office.
In fact, Samantha Power sought to unmask Americans on a near daily basis.
Congressman Nunes has been on the front lines accusing the criminal Obama administration of illegally unmasking Trump’s transition team and it looks like we may soon find out who targeted Flynn!
The Justice Department dropped its case against Flynn last Thursday after bombshell documents were released showing he was framed by the FBI.

Looking at the docket entries (#201 not present), we suspect an amicus brief has already been filed. Perhaps by the former DOJ employees who want Sullivan to improperly proceed to sentencing.
