Sonny, talk to anyone ever affiliated with NSA and you'll find that the majority of codes they have broken are commercial codes --- now why would that be, sonny? The privatized American intelligence establishment has a proven record of eavesdropping on Americans, commercial enterprises, etc., for the profit and financial intelligence to the Financial-Intelligence-Complex which founded the American intelligence community during World War II (Rockefeller, Mellon, Du Pont, Harriman, Morgan, et al.).
With Narus boxes at every major national switch, IXP (that's Internet eXchange Point, script kiddies, not ISP, so please don't respond as 'cause you're ignorant and thought I meant ISP), or exchange point --- they are most definitely spying domestically and for nefarious reasons, although they forever cite national security bullcrap.
You sound like the typical Pentagon stooge --- what is your occupation (and please don't respond: insurance investigator for criminal insurance corporations!).
But isn't that the so-called "free market" at play? After all, only a conpiracy theorist would describe the latest global criminal bankster criminal conspiracy of rigging the markets --- that LIBOR scam (which began at least around 2005, well before the global meltdown which is what they are now trying to claim was the "charitable origin" for it) --- as such!
Huh????? AT&T is the principal force behind the end of network neutrality, although there are many who would argue they've already ended it.
Why in the bloody H don't you realize this? Obey the master corporation, huh? Say, dood, any idea who actually owns AT&T???
No, exec orders are used to enact a wide range of normally unacceptable (since at least LBJ on) crap. Take, for instance, Ronald Reagan's Executive Order #12615, establishing the Office of Privatization within the OMB to privatize as much of the government as possible --- that wasn't legislated for quite some time, and only under the auspices of any number of predatory legislative acts, which together synergistically performed similar functions.
You can’t support the Fascisti and not expect Fascism!
We have to categorically state that there is no qualitative difference between FoxFiction, CNN, NPR and Amy Goodman’s Democracy Now! --- none will ever address the real issues --- it’s always political theater!
We still have to battle on voting rights because those who fought for it once, allowed themselves to either be overshadowed by the Fascisti, or to now support them.
Please don’t mention to us the name of Andrew Young, who once took bribes from the BCCI, and worked for them as a consultant, and is now a member of the lobbyist group for the international super-rich, the Bretton Woods Committee (brettonwoods.org).
Please don’t mention to us the names of Rep. Conyers or Charlie Rangel; we recall meeting with them many, many years ago, when the Black Congressional Caucus was bribed (received heavy donations) to create and successfully lobby for the passage of the legislation which removed defense-related jobs from the prohibition list --- thereby allowing them to be offshored with the affiliated tax breaks for shipping those jobs out of the country, along with a chunk of the GDP.
In the present, the disingenuous Joe Biden, just prior to a national tour for campaign contributions, goes public with a positive pronouncement for Gay marriage, thus “causing” President Obama to do likewise --- and their contributions rose considerably as a result.
Simpleton Gaytards are ecstatic --- ignoring the fascist record of the Obama administration on due process, habeas corpus, and their Gestapo raids for preemptive arrests of activists.
Ignoring the Obama administration’s financial support in the overthrow of the democratically-elected Honduran government; ignoring their tacit support for the Saudi military incursion into Bahrain to shoot the protesters there; ignoring the abomination of the Obama administration’s war on whistleblowers and obscene use of the Espionage Act in the subversion of democracy.
Support the Fascisti, and you have fascism!
Today Wall Street presents the electorate with the usual fascisti choices: Barack Obama and Mitt Romney, assuring the continuation of the fascistic march to neoserfdom oblivion.
Only the most ignorant, the most simpleton, the most morally lazy, would embrace either of those depraved characters!
Highly paid propaganda specialists proclaim that America has made much progress as the latest Wall Street stooge in the presidency is only half-white instead of all-white, much like one retail brand claims to smell better than its competitor.
Negative! It stinks to those of us who refuse to support the Fascisti!
All politics have been reduced to one part branding giveaways to Wall Street (cap-and-trade for the oil companies and banks) as a positive for the public welfare or the environment, with the other side attacking it for nonsensical reasons (not the obvious and truthful ones).
Wall Street will now enjoy their second-tier bailout in the guise of a health insurance bill which ensures a one-half trillion dollar money flow --- but does nothing to increase access nor decrease costs, with the staged legal battle to ensure the Supreme Court’s decision to set the legal precedent for the privatization of taxation.
Vile cretins, claiming to be democrats and progressives, seek donations for ever more giveaways to Wall Street!
Democracy has long been lost --- the Fascisti have long since won.
Full Spectrum Dominance: Why transactional data matters
During the Bush administration, at least on several occasions, the entire warrantless eavesdropping or wiretapping and FISA made the national news cycle for several days ---- yet each time, oddly enough, it was knocked off by the news of national immigration marches.
What exactly was really accomplished by those national immigration marches?
Other than occupying the news space on those days?
Next obvious question would be who owned those Spanish-language radio stations responsible for organizing those marches?
At that time, the major financial stake in those stations belonged to the private equity firm, the Blackstone Group, chaired by Peter G. Peterson, protégé of David Rockefeller.
During that time the Blackstone Group also had a financial stake in telecoms in Germany, Denmark, Switzerland, Poland, Italy, Portugal and Malta (Malta being an important nexus point, or physical exchange point, between Europe, North Africa and the Middle East), as well as one of the three major privatized global satellite networks at that period, New Skies Network (officially later sold off, but we never checked to see if Blackstone Group actually owned the company it was sold to?).
So those national marches, which knocked warrantless wiretapping off the news cycle and involved AT&T, were organized by Blackstone Group-owned radio stations, chaired by the fellow whose financial-economic-political mentor was David Rockefeller.
Now AT&T was broken up --- on paper at least --- but can anyone provide definite data to prove it was ever actually financially divested?
Negative!
Now, traditionally, AT&T was a Rockefeller-Morgan financial entity, which, by the way, happens to have re-conglomerated back to its original form, thanks in part to President Bill Clinton’s Telecommunications Act of 1996.
And who led the charge in congress to grant immunity to AT&T and those telecoms involved in that warrantless wiretapping for the government?
None other than Sen. Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia!
My oh my, how those coincidences pile up?
Recently, some very serious legislation has passed into law --- while other equally dangerous legislation has failed, for now --- although that failed legislation attacked net neutrality (equality of access to the Internet), it was really only to make into law that which is quickly becoming reality --- the end of net neutrality!
Laws have been passed, in America and Europe and elsewhere, requiring ISPs to retain your data for 1 to 3 years or more.
Why is this important to the ruling elites?
Transactional data, surrounding information, dot connection, global linkage.
Using existing DPI techniques (Deep Packet Inspection), they can virtually identify and extract information about you, your life, your family, the like of which most people cannot even imagine.
Data mining hit critical mass around 2003 to 2004; and all it then required to identify a person exactly was their age and zip code --- today it probably requires less.
A little while ago, a fellow from the New America Foundation wrote a book on ExxonMobil --- focusing on the personalities of its chief executives, and went on a book tour where not a single person who interviewed him (including NPR’s Terry Gross and Amy Goodman of Democracy Now!) inquired as to the ownership of ExxonMobil?
Now isn’t that freaking amazing? ? ? ?
Of course, New America Foundation is funded by the Peterson Foundation, endowed by Peter G. Peterson, protégé of David Rockefeller. (ExxonMobil is a re-combining of the original Rockefeller’s Standard Oil Companies --- which were once broken up --- at least on paper --- as no valid data exists to suggest otherwise.)
And the best coffee on the West Coast is Santa Cruz Dark --- in Cali. and up northwards, it's Seattle's Best Coffee (with a number of other blends also great there!). On the East Coast, it's wherever you can get it, unless you're in Miami, also fantastic Cuban coffee there!
Many people don't realize that AT&T, once broken up (at least on paper, never any data to support the actual owners financially divested), it has since reconstituted back into the original --- although "officially" Verizon is supposedly still a separate baby bell still --- on close examination, tracking all those threads of ownership through Vodafone and Racal, the majority ownership is still GE, which is indicative of the original ownership over a century ago!
James Stanley, a career soldier, suffered soul murder as an Army lab rat. He was given LSD in 1958 without being warned of its dangers, as were 1000 other "volunteer" soldiers. Stanley suffered hallucinations, memory loss, incoherence, and a negative personality change. Fits of uncontrollable violence destroyed his family, and restricted his ability to earn a living. And he never knew why until 1975, when the Army invited him to participate in a follow-up study on "volunteers who participated" in LSD testing. In United States vs. Stanley, the Supreme Court majority decided against Stanley’s claim for damages. However, Justices Brennan, Marshall and O’Connor dissented, asserting their belief that the Nuremberg Code’s standard of informed consent applies to soldiers as well as civilians. In 1996 James Stanley finally wrangled a $400,000 settlement from the government, but no apology for having ruined his life.
MK ULTRA, the Nazi human experimentation program rolled into the CIA's MK ULTRA program, whose goal was ultimately group mind control and the production of programmed assassins (review closely the Robert F. Kennedy assassination). Just a small slice of MK ULTRA's victims list:
Stanley Glickman, Harold Blauer, James Stanley, Gail Kastner, Dorothy Proctor, Christine Bauman, Richard Carlson, Tony Vaitelis, Jean-Paul Martineau, the French people residing the village of Pont Saint Esprit in 1951, healthy American children in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, 1000 "volunteer" soldiers, at least 23 women prisoners were also used as human guinea pigs, the Ottawa Citizen published an expose showing that hundreds of federal prisoners throughout Canada were used for pharmaceutical trials of untested drugs, sensory deprivation, and pain and electroshock studies, and unknown patients victimized by U.S. doctors injecting plutonium and uranium into unwitting hospital patients.
Reminds me of that whack job, Jaclyn Friedman, mysteriously coming out against Assange --- and it turns out her publisher is Perseus Books, then owned by Perseus LLC, the American business address for "American Friends of Bilderberg, Inc." whose directors are listed as David Rockefeller, Henry Kissinger, Richard Perle, et al.
And Jaclyn's background is most odd: on week she claims to be a super-slut (her words, not mine) who urges here sisters to sleep with as many guys as possible, the next month she claims to be a hardcore feminist. (She also claimed to be a rape victim 'cause she once went out drinking with her college wrestling team (she being the only female with them) and awakened after a hard night drinking to find a grappler running his hand down her jean-covered leg --- truly brutal rape indeed!!!)
Thanks for stating the obvious and rebuking the silly comment you so logically answered.
Of course, since the court ruled on a point never covered during the trial, it made a colossal fabrication and fiction of the entire proceedings --- nothing pertaining to legal process whatsoever.
To those stooges, or even worse, unthinking idiots, who keep claiming Assange and Wikileaks is some kind of intel agency ploy, those of us who have been monitoring this have never witnessed such a gargantuan amount of resources globally brought to bear to stop Wikileaks and Assange.
Paypayl, the Swiss firm, Amazon and Tableaux Software in Seattle, and Visa, etc., all bowed down to the oligarchs' pressure and power! Truly, the all-powerful Transnational Capitalist Class is calling the shots, and that leaves only one recourse.
They offshore all the jobs, all the technology, all the R&D work and the investments there, so who gives a rat's ass?????
No offense, but posts like these are nonsensical --- or maybe propaganda for the next war by design?????
So maybe the blog poster should contact Boeing (Narus), Packet Forensics, and all the other sleazoid American corporate whores about selling them all that surveillance tech, huh???
And please let us never forget about Jerry Yang and his Yahoo crimes (we've heard of one, but that doesn't mean there's many, many more unheard of....)
You must know something many millions of us are ignorant of, dood????
Perhaps this FAQ (as in frequently asked questions, or ones that should be asked) may help, or perhaps not....

Today we examine the early 21st century nation state once referred to as “America” but now classified as the Dark Age.
The political and financial manipulation practiced on the masses then was through a deftly controlled network of so-called think tanks, foundations, research centers and pre-positioned academics.
An excellent example would be a pseudo-educational complex, MIT, later bombed and razed during the Revolution of 2023 (see Mbotu and Heineman, Zeno ScholarGrid, circa 2045), where academics referred to as “economists” would spread propaganda and misinformation while pretending to represent the interests of the people.
One academic poseur, whose position was financed by the military-intel firm, Mitre, would mislead and confuse on labor economics.
Another academic poseur, whose position was financed through a series of phantom foundations by the oligarch, the family known as the Rockefellers, would mix truth and fiction, confusing and bewildering the masses while claiming that his backers, the Rockefellers, had given away their fortune through philanthropy.
These were dark times, indeed!
The same political henchmen and women would continue to re-surface in presidential administration through presidential administration, from the Carter administration through Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush (the son of the previously mentioned Bush – evidently some type of quasi-dynastic rule?), Obama and Mueller; difficult to believe so many were so easily duped, but literacy was at an all-time low during the Dark Age.
The ruling oligarchs of that period had succeeded in hiding their ownership and wealth, and the populace strangely enough appeared to remain incurious as to who exerted control over their daily lives.
Many routinely believed the political lackeys and servants of the oligarchs were actually in control – difficult as that may be to accept today – that was the reality in that era. (See Rule by the Hegemon, Chao and Zuma, circa 2051).

In case anyone hasn't figured it out yet, the Russians, Chinese and others, are pumping out flavors of Stuxnet like crazy now, truly filling up the Web to overflowing --- so all future problems can now, with a 97% probability, be blamed on Bush and Obama's Stuxnet adventures!
And my weekly rant:
The Charade
The great populist from Texas, Rep. Wright Patman **, was instrumental in pressuring President Roosevelt (FDR) to create the last study on the concentration of economic power in America, the TNEC study; the Temporary National Economic Committee study.
This committee study lasted from 1937 to 1939, and while invaluable data was uncovered, major portions of that study are still classified to this very day!
Years later, Rep. Patman would again be the motivating force on another study, Tax Exempt Foundations and Charitable Trusts: Their Impact on Our Economy (December 1962) 87th Congress, 2nd Session; exposing how the super-rich hid their wealth and ownership through foundations and trusts.
The super-rich and their cartels and multinationals have been so successful that today few Americans are even aware of the importance of knowing the ownership of any corporation or bank, and are routinely ignorant of the extraordinary concentration of power today!
Who owns ExxonMobil, BP, JP Morgan Chase, Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, Citigroup, GE or AT&T?
Who owns the majority of pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies today?
Nobody knows, and fewer appear to care!
Sadly, the way the situation has been rigged and manipulated, it would be impossible to find out unless one possessed unlimited resources, since much of that wealth and ownership is hidden within trusts, and multi-layered trusts of all types, and those trusts reside, technically speaking, offshore.
Those offshore trusts aren’t even required to be officially registered at those offshore sites --- there isn’t even a way to deduce how many trusts exist!
(Please understand that when Forbes publishes their list of the global richest, they include a disclaimer that it was compiled from public sources --- yet most data on the super-rich can only be gleaned from private sources --- and when there’s no discernible way to track such private sources, an accurate list on just who are the super-rich is impossible to compile!)
There is one interesting item, after many years of research, we have been able to ascertain.
That item concerns the oldest corporation, and continuously existing corporation, in the Western Hemisphere, the City of London Corporation.
While it is interesting to note that this ancient corporation appears to also own the oldest continuing financial fund, their City Cash, the really salient point is that it appears to be the nexus, or central point, of either the meeting or congregation place of various of the world’s major cartels.
Of course, this is much too obvious, to mundane and banal for most unaware, blithely ignorant people to take notice of, so please continue with your self-involved, self-absorbed and infantilized consumer existence --- after all, this is what they demand you do.
**Rep. Wright Patman was crucial to the passage of legislation finally awarding the promised bonuses to the World War I veterans. An excellent account of this is to be found in Marc Levinson’s book, The Great A&P and the Struggle for Small Business in America, pp. 152-153.
(I don’t agree with the author’s final conclusions, but his chapter on Wright Patman is highly recommended.)
Rep. Patman, at his own expense and financial loss, self-published two books in 1934:
Patman’s Appeal to Pay Veterans and
Bankerteering, Bonuseering, MelloneeringTrue classics in politicking for the people against the ruling 1%!
A few years ago, America seemed to fit that description. But it doesn't now.
Hmmm.....was that before or after the Eisenhower Administration, on behalf of the oligarchs, overthrew the democratically elected and sovereign governments of Iran and Guatemala, etc., etc., ad nauseum?????
While I fully agree with AmiMoJo's comments, I would hasten to add that the "US commentators" are extremely well paid to make such propagandistic bullcrap pronouncements, and haven't either the morality, ethics nor credibility to ever be taken seriously by sane people.
Valid points --- no disagreement from my end, speaking of which:
Reality Chronicles
Before you can understand their Great Game, you must understand their Grand Design.
The Corporation
The oldest corporation, of Anglo-Dutch origin, is also the longest enduring corporation in the Western Hemisphere, perhaps the world, predating the Norman Conquest of 1066, officially the City of London Corporation (“The City”), owner of property in the financial districts of Wall Street, Hong Kong, Sydney and Dubai.
The City and the City Cash. (City Cash may well be the longest continuing financial fund in history, going back at least eight centuries.)
Globalization
The process whereby the Transnational Capitalist Class colonizes the planet.
It’s really that simple.
Ultra-Leverage
Securitization and resecuritizations take place on Wall Street (although usually legally recorded in Delaware), then they are transferred to The City, or London, for further leveraging through their process of rehypothecation.
The Corporation, Globalization and Ultra-Leverage.
Their Grand Design, their Great Game.
In economic warfare, sides must be chosen.
Of course, there is the human factor; there have been mistakes.
Hitler, Stalin and Mao veered off course.
Nixon was supposed to have been elected president originally in 1960, not 1968, but a crafty criminal mastermind named Joe Kennedy altered that.
Inexorably though, their power and wealth and extreme criminal ways too often succeed.
Sides must be chosen.
(Parochial-minded and egocentric types who have never read foreign news, news and publications outside their mother countries, won't be aware of the international scope of things, the obvious patterns.They won't be familiar with the International Chamber of Commerce, the International Taxpayer Union, and a host of other global associations which serve as the guiding templates to national and local associations.)
Sanger is one of those "pre-financed" writers (like Sorkin, Javers, Harris, David Wise, etc., etc.) who print what they are told --- they simply repeat the disinformation and misinformation. Remember who owns HarperCollins?

And please let us never forget about Jerry Yang and his Yahoo crimes (we've heard of one, but that doesn't mean there's many, many more unheard of....)

Class 201: The Dark Ages
Today we examine the early 21st century nation state once referred to as “America” but now classified as the Dark Age. The political and financial manipulation practiced on the masses then was through a deftly controlled network of so-called think tanks, foundations, research centers and pre-positioned academics.
An excellent example would be a pseudo-educational complex, MIT, later bombed and razed during the Revolution of 2023 (see Mbotu and Heineman, Zeno ScholarGrid, circa 2045), where academics referred to as “economists” would spread propaganda and misinformation while pretending to represent the interests of the people.
One academic poseur, whose position was financed by the military-intel firm, Mitre, would mislead and confuse on labor economics. Another academic poseur, whose position was financed through a series of phantom foundations by the oligarch, the family known as the Rockefellers, would mix truth and fiction, confusing and bewildering the masses while claiming that his backers, the Rockefellers, had given away their fortune through philanthropy.
These were dark times, indeed!
The same political henchmen and women would continue to re-surface in presidential administration through presidential administration, from the Carter administration through Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush (the son of the previously mentioned Bush – evidently some type of quasi-dynastic rule?), Obama and Mueller; difficult to believe so many were so easily duped, but literacy was at an all-time low during the Dark Age.
The ruling oligarchs of that period had succeeded in hiding their ownership and wealth, and the populace strangely enough appeared to remain incurious as to who exerted control over their daily lives.
Many routinely believed the political lackeys and servants of the oligarchs were actually in control – difficult as that may be to accept today – that was the reality in that era. (See Rule by the Hegemon, Chao and Zuma, circa 2051).

And my weekly rant:
The Charade
The great populist from Texas, Rep. Wright Patman **, was instrumental in pressuring President Roosevelt (FDR) to create the last study on the concentration of economic power in America, the TNEC study; the Temporary National Economic Committee study.
This committee study lasted from 1937 to 1939, and while invaluable data was uncovered, major portions of that study are still classified to this very day!
Years later, Rep. Patman would again be the motivating force on another study, Tax Exempt Foundations and Charitable Trusts: Their Impact on Our Economy (December 1962) 87th Congress, 2nd Session; exposing how the super-rich hid their wealth and ownership through foundations and trusts.
The super-rich and their cartels and multinationals have been so successful that today few Americans are even aware of the importance of knowing the ownership of any corporation or bank, and are routinely ignorant of the extraordinary concentration of power today!
Who owns ExxonMobil, BP, JP Morgan Chase, Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, Citigroup, GE or AT&T?
Who owns the majority of pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies today?
Nobody knows, and fewer appear to care!
Sadly, the way the situation has been rigged and manipulated, it would be impossible to find out unless one possessed unlimited resources, since much of that wealth and ownership is hidden within trusts, and multi-layered trusts of all types, and those trusts reside, technically speaking, offshore.
Those offshore trusts aren’t even required to be officially registered at those offshore sites --- there isn’t even a way to deduce how many trusts exist!
(Please understand that when Forbes publishes their list of the global richest, they include a disclaimer that it was compiled from public sources --- yet most data on the super-rich can only be gleaned from private sources --- and when there’s no discernible way to track such private sources, an accurate list on just who are the super-rich is impossible to compile!)
There is one interesting item, after many years of research, we have been able to ascertain.
That item concerns the oldest corporation, and continuously existing corporation, in the Western Hemisphere, the City of London Corporation.
While it is interesting to note that this ancient corporation appears to also own the oldest continuing financial fund, their City Cash, the really salient point is that it appears to be the nexus, or central point, of either the meeting or congregation place of various of the world’s major cartels.
Of course, this is much too obvious, to mundane and banal for most unaware, blithely ignorant people to take notice of, so please continue with your self-involved, self-absorbed and infantilized consumer existence --- after all, this is what they demand you do.
**Rep. Wright Patman was crucial to the passage of legislation finally awarding the promised bonuses to the World War I veterans. An excellent account of this is to be found in Marc Levinson’s book, The Great A&P and the Struggle for Small Business in America, pp. 152-153.
(I don’t agree with the author’s final conclusions, but his chapter on Wright Patman is highly recommended.)
Rep. Patman, at his own expense and financial loss, self-published two books in 1934:
Patman’s Appeal to Pay Veterans and
Bankerteering, Bonuseering, MelloneeringTrue classics in politicking for the people against the ruling 1%!
Well said, although in agreement with the list linked to, that War on Whistleblowers has been ramped up considerably to the max.
Hmmm.....was that before or after the Eisenhower Administration, on behalf of the oligarchs, overthrew the democratically elected and sovereign governments of Iran and Guatemala, etc., etc., ad nauseum?????
While I fully agree with AmiMoJo's comments, I would hasten to add that the "US commentators" are extremely well paid to make such propagandistic bullcrap pronouncements, and haven't either the morality, ethics nor credibility to ever be taken seriously by sane people.
Before you can understand their Great Game, you must understand their Grand Design.
The Corporation
The oldest corporation, of Anglo-Dutch origin, is also the longest enduring corporation in the Western Hemisphere, perhaps the world, predating the Norman Conquest of 1066, officially the City of London Corporation (“The City”), owner of property in the financial districts of Wall Street, Hong Kong, Sydney and Dubai.
The City and the City Cash. (City Cash may well be the longest continuing financial fund in history, going back at least eight centuries.)
Globalization
The process whereby the Transnational Capitalist Class colonizes the planet. It’s really that simple.
Ultra-Leverage
Securitization and resecuritizations take place on Wall Street (although usually legally recorded in Delaware), then they are transferred to The City, or London, for further leveraging through their process of rehypothecation.
The Corporation, Globalization and Ultra-Leverage.
Their Grand Design, their Great Game.
In economic warfare, sides must be chosen.
Of course, there is the human factor; there have been mistakes.
Hitler, Stalin and Mao veered off course.
Nixon was supposed to have been elected president originally in 1960, not 1968, but a crafty criminal mastermind named Joe Kennedy altered that.
Inexorably though, their power and wealth and extreme criminal ways too often succeed.
Sides must be chosen.
(Parochial-minded and egocentric types who have never read foreign news, news and publications outside their mother countries, won't be aware of the international scope of things, the obvious patterns.They won't be familiar with the International Chamber of Commerce, the International Taxpayer Union, and a host of other global associations which serve as the guiding templates to national and local associations.)
Sanger is one of those "pre-financed" writers (like Sorkin, Javers, Harris, David Wise, etc., etc.) who print what they are told --- they simply repeat the disinformation and misinformation. Remember who owns HarperCollins?
