Former Exelon exec Pramaggiore has left multiple high-profile local boards

Ironically, Anne Pramaggiore's exit earlier this year from gold-plated boards like the Art Institute and Northwestern Memorial Hospital was because her 2018 promotion at Exelon had stretched her too thin. Now, she's gone from Exelon altogether.

Exelon faces SEC, attorney’s office probes on lobbying activities

The Securities and Exchange Commission recently notified investor-owned Exelon and its Commonwealth Edison subsidiary that it has opened an investigation into their lobbying activities.

News of the SEC investigation, which Exelon and ComEd disclosed in a 10-Q reported filed at the SEC, follows on the heels of Exelon and ComEd receiving a grand jury subpoena in the second quarter of 2019 from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Illinois requiring production of information concerning their lobbying activities in the State of Illinois.

In an October 4 filing with the SEC, Exelon and ComEd said they received a second grand jury subpoena from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Illinois that required production of records of any communications with certain individuals and entities, including Illinois State Senator Martin Sandoval.

ICYMI: Exelon, Obama, and the "Chicago way"

In case you missed it, the New York Times ran a front-page story yesterday about the cozy, lucrative, and ethically-questionable relationship between President Obama and the Illinois-based Exelon Corporation.

As the NYT reported, "Early in the Obama administration, a lobbyist for the Illinois-based energy producer Exelon proudly called it 'the president’s utility.'"

In true Chicago fashion, "Exelon’s top executives were early and frequent supporters of Mr. Obama as he rose from the Illinois State Senate to the White House." Take for example, John W. Rogers Jr.. Mr. Rogers is a friend of the president’s, husband of Desiree Rogers - former social secretary for Pres. Obama, one of Obama's top fund-raisers, and…an Exelon board member.

"David Axelrod, Mr. Obama’s longtime political strategist, once worked as an Exelon consultant. And Rahm Emanuel, the Chicago mayor and Mr. Obama’s former chief of staff, helped create the company through a corporate merger in 2000 while working as an investment banker."

Not surprisingly, "White House records show that Exelon executives were able to secure an unusually large number of meetings with top administration officials at key moments in the consideration of environmental regulations that have been drafted in a way that hurt Exelon’s competitors, but curb the high cost of compliance for Exelon and its industry allies."

In addition, Exelon "was chosen as one of only six electric utilities nationwide for the maximum $200 million stimulus grant from the Energy Department. And when the Treasury Department granted loans for renewable energy projects, Exelon landed a commitment for up to $646 million allowing it, on extremely generous financial terms, to finance one of the world’s largest photovoltaic solar projects."

And it gets better. The Obama administration’s tightening of clean air rules was a particular boon for Exelon, "since it took aim at Exelon’s main competitors — coal-burning power plants in the Midwest and mid-Atlantic regions. In 2010, Exelon estimated it would earn an extra $400 million annually because the regulations would force dozens of coal-burning plants to close."

Wanted to add to the discussion on Iran.

Kata'ib Hezbollah ("Brigade of the Paryy of God", abbreviated KH) is a Shia Militant Group (SMG) which belongs to a larger group called The Popular Mobilization Force (PMF) along with a few other groups, most notably Asaib Al Al-Haq (AAH) and the Base Organization. These are bad dudes, and are incredibly close to Iran's IRGC Qods Force.

For all intents and purposes, the PMF and it's subgroups take directions from the IRGC.

A hard line that the president has taken with Iran is the loss of life, as is evident in two major incidents last year: the downed drone in the Arab Gulf and the attack on the Abqaiq (ARAMCO) Oil Refinery attack. In both instances CENTCOM got spun up and was about to counter, but was told to stand down on the President's orders. The reason why was because there was no American loss of life. The reason why we are responding like we are this time around is because KH (read: "Iranian-ordered-thugs") attacked a base that resulted in a US loss of life. Attacks up to this point were more show-of-force and didn't result in any US deaths. This particular attack was very much intended to cause harm, and we we're lucky it only cost one life.

--BREAK--

Don't believe the headlines about the protestors in Iraq all hating the US now, there are two bodies of protestors. The first body are nationalists that want to break free of all foreign influence, including Iran and the US. They hate Iran and are the majority, as is evident by the burning of an Iranian consulate three times (because one or two times wasn't enough). The second group is made/composed of these Iranian-backed PMF members who are attempting to make the world think Iraq hates America.

Don't get me wrong, the Iraqis would like to see Americans get out, but they are generally smart enough to not kill our people to get that done. Hasn't worked in 20 years, and they're taking a different approach to things.

Also a big digg needs to be done on the Exelon Foundation. I'm working a little on this but extra eyes always helps! Don't forget Exelon ties to Loop Capital and as outlined above, the UN

"The ideological battle between the Popes and the Roman emperors they created raged for several hundred years. The point where we can discern the beginning of these secret societies influence this power struggle was in the reign of Frederick II, crowned as Holy Roman Emperor in 1215. With his death in 1250, the Holy Roman Empire collapsed. The Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, in the first lodge in Carolina in the United States received its charter from Frederick of Prussia.

For 20 years Europe was devastated by war until, in 1273, the concept of the old empire was revived with the crowning of a new Holy Roman Emperor, Count Rudolf Von Habsburg (meaning "castle of hawks") in Austria. For the next 300 years, under the patronage of the Vatican, the Habsburgs extended their empire throughout Europe based on their temporal power and the spiritual power of the Roman Catholic."

Exelon to become top U.S. power distributor with Pepco buy

Exelon Corp said it would buy Pepco Holdings Inc for $6.83 billion, helping it overtake Duke Energy Corp as the biggest power distribution company in the United States.

The deal will allow Exelon to sell more power at stable rates set by regulators at a time when an abundance of cheap natural gas is dragging down power prices in the open market.

Pepco operates utilities in the District of Columbia, Delaware, Maryland and New Jersey, serving about 2 million customers.

Exelon’s utilities deliver electricity and natural gas to more than 6.6 million customers in Maryland, Illinois and Pennsylvania.

Barclays, Goldman Sachs & Co and Loop Capital Markets are Exelon’s financial advisers. Kirkland & Ellis LLP is its legal counsel.

Lazard is Pepco Holdings’ financial adviser. Sullivan & Cromwell LLP and Covington & Burling LLP are its legal counsel.

>Where is all the Solyndra money?

>>7682702

this is interesting

In Bullet-point, the charges against the Feinstein Family Cartel, in the Cleantech Crash Corruption Case include:

• Feinstein was the promoter, lobbyist and beneficiary of the side-by-side (on the same plot of land)

Tesla and Solyndra government hand-out funding scandal.

• Feinstein's daughter, Kathryn, documented illicit actions by her mother, while in social habitation with the applicants

• Herb Newman, of Sausalito, California; Feinstein's relative, was awarded the staffing contracts for Tesla and Solyndra based on Feinstein's say-so, in direct conflict of interest

• Feinstein staff worked for and were compensated by, Tesla and Solyndra. In some cases Feinstein staff and Tesla staff were interchangeable, in direct conflict-of-interest

• Feinstein's husband had financial interests in the railroad property adjacent to the Tesla and Solyndra buildings. Feinstein later got him the entire California high speed rail contract

• The Feinstein family owned the construction company which Tesla and Solyndra, used. They were given no-bid contracts

• After Solyndra was raided by the FBI and went bankrupt, costing taxpayers over half a trillon dollars in losses, the Feinstein Cartel used the tax write-off losses to make a profit, via tax form manipulations on the tax-write-off losses from the Solyndra crash

• Even after Solyndra went bankrupt, the Feinstein family continued to profit off of the Solyndra scandal by re-leasing the buildings and collecting real estate profits

• Feinstein's family ran the property sales and leasing contracts for the Tesla and Solyndra buildings

• Gary D. Conley, a Bay Area solar and Hydrogen company CEO, whistle-blew on the corruption at Tesla and Solyndra and was later found with a bullet in his head behind a Northern California Air Force base. His family, and friends, charge that is death was “suspicious”

• Feinstein's family and associates held stock in Tesla, Solyndra and other “Clean Tech” companies, which they acquired at key pre-announcement points, most likely based on insider information and the payola from bribes provided as stock warrants

Tesla: 45500 Fremont Blvd., Fremont, CA 94538 & Solyndra: 47488 Kato Road, Fremont, CA, 94538

Feinstein's ex-staff & lobbyists work there now. She opened both plants and lobbied them into existence in that location. All that taxpayer money went to those two lots yet hundreds of other applicants were "killed off": COINCIDENCE?
