This is the Monterey County political big wig.

"Fair Political Practices Commission investigations[edit]

In recent years, Potter has been the subject of three investigations by the California Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC). The first investigation, regarding alleged money-laundering, turned up no evidence of wrongdoing, and the plaintiff entered into a confidential settlement with Potter.[19][20][21] In the second investigation, which involved a trip to Ireland, Potter was cleared of wrongdoing.[22] The third investigation, regarding allegations related to conflict of interest, was closed (without prejudice) in November 2013.[23][24][25]"

"Monterey – Former President Barack Obama arrived at the Monterey Jet Center on Wednesday evening to take part in a private AT&T leadership conference."

But Trudeau has one closed-door discussion planned that's certain to get more attention than the rest.

On Thursday, he will be meeting with Jeff Bezos, CEO of Amazon. The tech giant is in the middle of its search for a second headquarters — and Toronto is on the short list.

Trudeau will be under pressure to make a strong pitch on Toronto's behalf during his face-to-face meeting with Bezos.

Amazon plans to spend up to $5 billion US on its second headquarters, which it says will create 50,000 new high-paying jobs.

More than 200 cities in Canada and the U.S. bid for the facility, but Toronto is the only Canadian city still being seriously considered for the new location.

Canada's largest city is up against several major U.S. hubs, including Boston, New York and Chicago.

Familiar trade pitch

The Bezos meeting is just one aspect of Trudeau's trip south of the border.

Over the next four days, he will visit Chicago, San Francisco and Los Angeles to promote NAFTA and the importance of the Canada-U.S. trading relationship.

Former Canadian diplomat Colin Robertson calls these types of missions essential to the Canada-U.S. relationship.

"I think the one thing Donald Trump has taught us is that you can't take the U.S. for granted," he told CBC News."

Trudeau will also meet with e-Bay execs.

This week is also the AT and T golf tournament at Pebble Beach, full of movers and shakers, and celebs. Hoity toity.

The elite of the resistence is meeting this week in California.

This is also home to the Esalen institute named after the Essalon Indians who lived in the Ventana Forest.

Institute is infamous for weird activity, possibly CIA.

ARE THESE THE SEVEN DWARVES GOING INTO THE Black Forest? Mining?

Bezos does control the message to a large extent.

@Jack, MZ, ES, JB, EM, SH, MSM, etc.

Do you know that we know?

Do you know that we see all?

Do you know that we hear all?

FEAR the STORM.

NOBODY PLAYING THE GAME GETS A FREE PASS.

NOBODY.

Q

Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk are both in the news this week.

AT and T will have a golf tournament at Pebble Beach this week.

NOBODY PLAYING THE GAME GETS A FREE PASS.

NOBODY.

Obama will be attending a private meeting with AT & T about net neutrality.

And Truedeau will be here to meet with Bezos and eBay executives about NAFTA.

All of these people are afraid of what Trump is going to do re: NAFTA and Net Neutrality/freedom.

Bezos, Musk, Trudeau, Obama.

This cannot be a coincidence.

Today, Americans everywhere remember the brave men and women of @NASA who lost their lives in our Nation’s eternal quest to expand the boundaries of human potential. https:// t.co/clBsJTGz8B https:// t.co/jTJkusdBQA

Trump's tweet for the day above. NASA day of remembrance.

NASA flew out of Mojave yesterday and circled the whole Bay Area all day.

John Perry Barlow, co-founder of the Electronic Frontier Foundation and lyricist for the Grateful Dead was remembered Thursday as a tech and rock ‘n’ roll icon.

The 70-year-old San Francisco resident “passed away quietly in his sleep” Wednesday, the EFF confirmed. Mitch Kapor, another EFF founder, said Thursday that Barlow had been ill for some time.

ADVERTISING

Since the EFF’s founding in 1990, the San Francisco-based nonprofit has backed legislation and lawsuits related to online freedom and security, and advised tech companies and governments regarding policies that affect us all in the internet age.

“It is no exaggeration to say that major parts of the Internet we all know and love today exist and thrive because of Barlow’s vision and leadership,” Cindy Cohn, executive director of the EFF, said in a blog post Wednesday.

Barlow wrote many essays. His famous piece, the “Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace,” written in February 1996 — shortly after the passage of the Telecommunications Act, which overhauled telecom law and which he decried — has taken on a new meaning as the internet has taken over the world.

“We are creating a world that all may enter without privilege or prejudice accorded by race, economic power, military force, or station of birth,” Barlow wrote. “We are creating a world where anyone, anywhere may express his or her beliefs, no matter how singular, without fear of being coerced into silence or conformity.”

Kapor, founder of software company Lotus, said Thursday in a phone interview that he met Barlow after reading his online post about an unpleasant encounter he had with FBI investigators over what they thought was his connection with some hackers. Kapor had had a similar experience, so he sympathized. They met in person in Wyoming and talked about the need to advocate for digital rights. Soon afterward, early Sun Microsystems employee John Gilmore got on board by writing “a significant check” and became an EFF co-founder.

Rock fans will likely best remember Barlow for his work with the Grateful Dead, primarily as a co-songwriter with Bob Weir. Although he often lived in the shadow of the Dead’s more famous lyricist — Robert Hunter, who worked primarily with Jerry Garcia — Barlow was an amazing wordsmith, who helped pen a number of Grateful Dead staples, including “The Music Never Stopped,” “Cassidy” and “Estimated Prophet.”

“This life is fleeting, as we all know — the Muse we serve is not,” Weir said on Twitter about Barlow’s passing. “John had a way of taking life’s most difficult things and framing them as challenges, therefore adventures. He was to be admired for that, even emulated. He’ll live on in the songs we wrote…”

Barlow, who was born Oct. 3, 1947 in Wyoming, met Weir while in high school in Colorado. The two began collaborating in the early ’70s, with Barlow reportedly planning on moving out to join Weir. Yet, Barlow ended up staying in Wyoming to work on his family ranch after his father had suffered from a stroke.

Still, Barlow became heavily involved on Weir’s first solo album, 1972’s “Ace,” which contained many of their best collaborations, like “Cassidy,” “Looks Like Rain” and others that went on to become Grateful Dead concert classics.

“John Barlow wrote a number of wonderful songs with Bob Weir for the Dead, from ‘Weather Report Suite’ to “The Music Never Stopped’ to ‘Feel Like a Stranger’ and lots more, but he meant more than that,” says Dennis McNally, Grateful Dead historian and author of the band’s official biography “A Long Strange Trip: The Inside History of the Grateful Dead.”

Barlow is survived by daughters Leah, Anna and Amelia Barlow, his first granddaughter, Willah Brave Barlow Dunwoody, and his former wife, Elaine Parker.
