State AG Targeting Federal Illegal Activity

This checklist implements this program.

* * *


This plan assists the State Attorney General to do what Congress refuses to do:

- Oversee
- Subpoena documents
- Review budget documents
- Conduct site visits
- Shut down illegal activity
- Communicate findings to public, and EU War crimes prosecutors
- CC: The Hague

Areas of Interest

General areas of interest to the war crimes prosecutors.

- Evidence
- Unlawful acts, prohibited workarounds
- DoD adjustments
- Difficulties in identifying DoD workarounds
- Methods to monitor, trace difficult DoD workarounds

- -


Prohibited DoD Workarounds, Likely Violations

DoD will not likely cooperate with State level injunctions. The DoD workarounds will form other lines of evidence. The following DoD workarounds should be planned for, monitored, and party of the discovery plan.

__ Non-DoD assets to mask purchases for workarounds

__ Non-DoD entities, intermediaries, or contactors to supply, assist, or fund illegal DoD activities

__ Indirect foreign buyers on DoD behalf

__ DoD commercial entities acting as transshipment

__ Money laundering: Coordination with Treasury, Customs, DEA to transfer funds through overseas affiliated accounts to illegal activity.

__ Use of lawfully seized assets, accounts for illegal support

__ Use of DoD subcontractor overseas accounts for funds transfers

__ Overseas NAVAL Depot accounts

__ Transshipment through overseas commercial, DoD entity, DoD commercial activity, or other indirectly controlled private entity or intermediary

__ Transshipment of resources from non-illegal activity to illegal activity

__ Transfer directly from non-illegal activity to backfill losses, use, resource depletion at illegal activity at base, depot, post, installation, port, storage facility, contractor dump site.

__ Transfer of assets, finances, fuel, energy, or other resources from alternate locations, through Canada, then overseas through Great Lakes, or cross border; Customs well aware of isolated areas DoD could establish beach heads or cross-border transfer

- -


Indicators of Illegal DOD workarounds

Some of the same indicators of corporate fraud will be relevant to a DoD effort to circumvent the Attorney General Efforts. DoD workaround will relate to adjusting fuel and energy delivery shipments to locations and facilities on the Attorney General target list:

__ Sudden infusion in local economy of funds from firms with poor track records, scant history, or unrelated to area of business

__ Construction equipment unrelated to bonafide public contract or funds

__ Surge in convoy, construction traffic in isolated border areas

__ Fuel shipments in unusual locations

__ Spikes in communication in isolated regions using military, encrypted frequencies

__ Re-routing of rail lines

__ Alternate schedule requirements, with high volume, sudden changes

- -

DoD Workarounds

DoD will attempt to thwart the State-level injunctions, and prosecutions.

__ Identify fuel/coal shipment times, diversions to illegal activity

__ Identify transshipment points

__ Discuss with overseas warrant reviews [EU, SWIFT]

Entrenched Illegal Assumptions Within DoJ and DoD

__ Illegal assertion that unlawful activity can be classified, when it cannot
