The Mar-a-Lago Raid and Crooked Archivist Ferriero

The FBI unit sent to raid the Trump’s residence had instructions to shoot under certain circumstances.

The raid was part of a phony investigation, reportedly triggered by the former NARA Director David Ferriero. In his government positions, Ferriero has perpetrated at least two huge crimes that received no media attention.

On behalf of NARA, he signed agreements with select Big Tech companies on those companies’ terms (TOS with minor changes). These agreements allowed those companies to deplatform the US at will, to decide who has access to US government accounts, and what the US can post. Of course, the Fox News-affiliated MySpace was not included.

As the New York Public Library Director, Ferriero helped Google  to scan millions of copyrighted books owned by the NYPL. The NYPL is part of the NYC government. This was a gift worth many $Billions, because Google used those books to improve its search engine beyond the reach of competition and to develop AI. This was part of the Google Books project, and some other state libraries were complicit, too. This was a grave violation of Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution: “The Congress shall have Power … To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries;” Worse, the agreement between the NYPL and Google was de facto exclusive. Ferriero was appointed to his position by Obama in 2009.
