The ‘Defense Innovation Board’ May Just Be a Google Lobbying Operation

Despite its long track record of hostility to the Trump movement, including the wholesale suppression of pro-Trump media in its search engine, Google is on track to secure a major lobbying objective — overhauling the government’s 5G strategy. Google seems to have an ally in reaching its target in the form of the Department of Defense’s “Defense Innovation Board.” In 2016, Obama’s Department of Defense created a “Defense Innovation Board” (DIB) chaired by then Alphabet CEO Eric Schmidt and also included Milo Medin, Google’s head of Wireless, who is still on it. Schmidt only left the board this month due to term limits. In addition to including members from the high ranks of Google, the revolving door at the Defense Innovation Board also rotates in the opposite direction. In March this year, DIB Executive Director Josh Marcuse left the board to join Google as the head of strategy and innovation for the global public sector. He has since used his position at Google to advocate on 5G policy. The overhaul of U.S. strategy on 5G appears to be a major objective of the DIB, especially its Google-linked members and alumni. Over the last few years, Medin and Schmidt have been advocating opening up the Defense Spectrum, worth billions and billions of dollars, for commercial use.

In 2019, Medin authored a report recommending a new 5G strategy that would share the DoD’s mid-band spectrum with commercial providers. In June 2020, the Government Accountability Office released a report entitled “5G Deployment: FCC Needs Comprehensive Strategic Planning to Guide its Efforts.” Experts consulted during the drafting included Milo Medin, as well as Google-funded organizations including Public Knowledge, the Consumer Federation of America, and Next Century Cities. Fast-forward to September of this year: top Republican operative Karl Rove gave the keynote presentation at a tech conference, calling for a national 5G strategy along the lines of Google’s proposals. Rove acknowledged working directly with Eric Schmidt, Newt Gingrich and “other vendors from the private sector.” “We’ve got to beat the Chinese,” Rove said. In return for getting access to shared government airwaves, he said, the private sector would commit to building a nationwide 5G network.” Rove told the conference separately that he’s spoken with Schmidt and others including former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, “very liberal” House lawmakers, Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) and Dell Technologies. Eric Schmidt spoke at the same conference. “We’re definitely playing catch-up…. It’s a national emergency,” said Schmidt. “The solution is to act quickly.” “I like this notion of sharing the military spectrum. …Use some form of wholesale model that would use private-sector money to build out the network very quickly.”

Sen. Murphy: Trump Surrogate Putin Will Be Campaigning for Him While He’s Quarantined

Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) said on Friday’s broadcast of “CNN Newsroom” that Russian President Vladimir Putin is one of the “surrogates” of President Donald Trump’s campaign.

Anchor Jim Sciutto asked, “I want to talk about Russia because yesterday we’re days away from the U.S. election. You tweeted this public comment, and you were briefed on the intelligence here, that there is evidence of a giant, according to you, a multi-year effort to help Trump in 2020 by Russia. What can you tell us about that?”

Murphy said, “Well, what I can tell you is that it’s much bigger and bolder and smarter than it was in 2016. The Russians have learned, and they are now trying to use U.S. persons and fake websites in order to proffer a narrative that helps President Trump’s re-election.” He continued, “I also think that you have to be much more serious about the Russian threat given today’s news. If President Trump can’t be out there on the campaign trail for the next two weeks, then he is going to rely on his surrogates, and, unfortunately, one of his surrogates is Vladimir Putin. So you are likely going to see this campaign ramped up by Russia over the next few weeks to try to substitute for the President’s absence on the campaign trail.” He added, “My worry is that the intel agencies are not being clear with the American people about the size of the Russian operation and their clear desire to try to elect President Trump to a second term.”

Former Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama Staffer Wishes Death on Trump: ‘I Hope He Dies’

Zara Rahim, a former staffer for both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, wished death on the president following President Trump’s positive coronavirus test results. “It’s been against my moral identity to tweet this for the last four years, but I hope he dies,” Rahim wrote in a tweet that has since been deleted. Her account is also locked. She reportedly followed up with a tweet reading, “I feel free.” Rahim served as a former national spokeswoman for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign and worked in the Office of Digital Strategy for former President Obama. The former Clinton spokeswoman’s dark wish drew several sharp reactions on Twitter. Piers Morgan called her remark both “shocking” and “shameful,” while others said Democrats are “proving they’re the party of hate”.

Both Trump and the first lady are experiencing “mild symptoms” but are in “good spirits.” On Friday, Melania Trump thanked supporters for their prayers and said that she is “feeling good” overall. Rahim is hardly the only blue check-mark on Twitter to share ill-wishes toward the president and his family.

Biden Campaign: ‘Hard to See’ Next Debate Happening After Trump Coronavirus Diagnosis

A Joe Biden campaign source is using President Trump’s coronavirus diagnosis to cast doubt on the next presidential debate, scheduled nearly two weeks away. Lisa Desjardins of PBS reported a “Biden senior source” said it is “hard to see that debate happening” between Trump and Biden on October 15. After the raucous debate on Tuesday, several Democrats and Biden allies called on the cancellation of future contests. “We don’t need another presidential debate,” U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier (D-CA) wrote on Twitter. MSNBC contributor Jill Wine-Banks argued that Trump’s debate methods meant there should not be any more opportunities for voters to see the candidates spar face-to-face over issues. Echoing former George W. Bush staffer-turned-MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace, Wine Banks said, “Trump abused the process and that future moderators need to have a plan to stop it.” That included silencing Trump when he attempts to engage his opponent, or “cancel future debates.” Pittsburgh sports journalist and self-described “comedian” Gene Collier said, “there was no point to this debate because there is no point in asking Donald Trump a question. He thinks things are true because he says them, and thinks any truth he doesn’t like is fake.” “Cancel the remaining debates now.” Former MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry also argued future debates should be canceled. “The debates are now a danger to public safety and a direct threat to Black life,” she said. The next presidential debate is scheduled to take place October 15 in Miami.
