The Ascendancy of Black World Participants Continues at GM

First Kent Kresa, and now Edward Whitacre. What's the big deal? Edward Whitacre looks like every other old, pink faced fat bastard that slithers from board room to board room, but let's take a quick walk down memory lane.

From 2006, in NSA Collected Phone Records in U.S., we learn:

The U.S. National Security Agency has obtained the phone records of millions of Americans in an effort to stop terrorists, a Senate Intelligence Committee member confirmed.

News of the program, first reported by USA Today, sparked demands by lawmakers that executives from AT&T Inc., BellSouth Corp. and Verizon Communications Inc. testify before Congress.

…

Of the major telephone companies, only Qwest Communications International Inc., refused to comply with the government's request to turn over the information, USA Today said. The government said it was willing to pay for the records, the newspaper reported.

Robert Toevs, a spokesman for Denver-based Qwest, declined to comment.

When the program began, AT&T, whose chief executive officer was C. Michael Armstrong, agreed to provide the information, as did BellSouth, run by Duane Ackerman, and Verizon, headed by Ivan Seidenberg. SBC Communications Inc., whose CEO was Edward Whitacre, also complied with the request, USA Today said.

SBC has acquired AT&T and taken its name. Whitacre is the CEO of the company, which also has agreed to buy BellSouth.

The EFF accuses Edward E. Whitacre Jr.'s AT&T of allowing the NSA–which claims to employ the U.S.'s premier cryptologists–to search through huge databases of stored telephone and Internet records.

So, we have Kent Kresa, who was up to his eyeballs in black military projects, and now Edward Whitacre, who allowed NSA to illegally intercept the private communications of millions of Americans!

Yes, sir, this new Government Motors is going to be a different kind of car company alright.

General Motors Corp said on Tuesday that former chairman and chief executive of AT&T Inc Edward Whitacre will become chairman of the restructured automaker later this summer.

The No. 1 U.S. automaker, which filed for bankruptcy on June 1, plans to undertake a quick sale process that would allow a much smaller company to emerge from court protection in as little as 60-90 days.

GM said the new chairman will take over when the smaller, restructured company is formed in the next few months. The automaker's current interim chairman, Kent Kresa, will continue to serve in that position until then.

Kresa, former chief executive of Northrop Grumman Corp, became GM chairman in March when the Obama administration ousted Rick Wagoner, who had been both GM's chief executive and chairman.

Whitacre and Kresa, along with current board members Philip Laskawy, Kathryn Marinello, Erroll Davis Jr, E. Neville Isdell and Chief Executive Officer Fritz Henderson, will serve as the "nucleus" of the restructured company's board, GM said in a statement.

The six other members of the current board will most likely retire, according to the automaker.
