Current AG nominee, William Barr, is getting a lot of press right now as because of the Mueller investigation.  What’s not getting a lot of attention is the fact that Barr has a long history working for Big Tech:



After his tenure at the Department of Justice, Barr spent more than 14 years as a senior corporate executive. At the end of 2008 he retired from Verizon Communications, having served as Executive Vice President and General Counsel of GTE Corporation from 1994 until that company merged with Bell Atlantic to become Verizon. During his corporate tenure, Barr directed a successful litigation campaign by the local telephone industry to achieve deregulation by scuttling a series of FCC rules, personally arguing several cases in the federal courts of appeals and the Supreme Court.[26]

GTE stands for General Telephone & Electronics Corporation which was one of the largest independent telephone companies during the days of the Bell System. (Wikipedia)







Didn’t Trump promise to “drain the swamp” – not stock it?  Big Tech has recently been accused of Antitrust violations more than once; and for 20+ years already, Americans have suffered from Big Tech influenced legislation that doesn’t protect us or the environment.


Big Tech has forced their products on school children.  Now they have been given the right to install more of their harmful infrastructure all over the country – including in front of homes – despite widespread protest.
