  36. ..:::Preface:::..
  37. It is no secret that government officials linked financially to large corporations have used their political position to improve their personal financial assets as is in the case of CISA and similar legislation. In this document we have compiled evidence showing clear codependency of political and financial agenda within Congress.
  38.  
  39.  
  40. ..:::Introduction:::..
  41. Each senator who has expressed favor for CISA has been identified as being in receipt of funding from corporations involved directly in defense/cyber defense or otherwise having finances tied up and invested into such corporations. Other senate committee members are responsible for coordinating the accounting of this attempt to raise stock in the defense and surveillance sector for personal gain, in turn utilizing tax dollars for personal investments.
  42.  
  43.  
  44. ..:::Methodology:::..
  45. The information below was compiled via public records, personal financial affairs and corporate reporting documents.
  46.  
  47.  
  48. ..:::Evidence:::..
  49. The information below was collected from publicly accessible and lawful websites. No released data was obtained illegally.
  50.  
  51.  
  52. ..:::Sectors:::..
  53. The following sectors will get an increase in revenue if the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act (CISA) is passed.
  54. Due to the vague language used in the 47 page bill, any of the following sectors and companies could potentially have an increase in annual budget.
  55.  
  56. The following companies contributed money to a senator campaign, have direct ties to the senator via a spouses, direct investments, or share information with the United States Government.
  57.  
  58. There are many corporations and companies out there who do and will benefit from the CISA bill passing, and linking every individual company would take an extended period of time and time is running out. Therefore, we only linked companies that were the most glaring examples. As we compile more data, it will be edited and released to the public in the spirit of true transparency.
  59.  
  60. * Information Technology:
  61. * Reason: Many information technology companies give all of their research to the United States government. This means the government would be funding corporations and companies which would be giving them better tools to help spy on the citizens of the United States of America
  62. * Mantech International: Deliver upcoming information technology and technical services to U.S. federal government customers.
  63. * Delivery of the newest technology to federal government customers would allow a huge increase in annual budget for Mantech International.
  64.  
  65.  
  66. * Securities & Investment:
  67. * Reason: All of the corporations under securities and investment are hedge fund accounts. These accounts, according the the CISA bill, are at high risk from cyber terrorists and hackers, therefore must be protected. This would allow every account listed below to be eligible to receive budget funding from the federal government, money they do not need, to "protect their databases". Hedge fund corporations are infamous for not spending money on what it was granted for.
  68. * Elliot Management Corp: Hedge Fund Corporation
  69. * Invests heavily in Compuware, which is likely to receive money if CISA passes.
  70.  
  71.  
  72. * National/Electronics Defense:
  73. * Reason:
  74. * Harris Corp: An American communications company, defense contractor and information technology services provider that produces wireless equipment, tactical radios, electronic systems, night vision equipment and both terrestrial and space borne antennas for use in the government, defense and commercial sectors.
  75. * A huge provider in the American defense system AND in the technology field. They would receive large amounts of money from CISA for being a defense contract and an information technology services provider.
  76. * Honeywell International: A huge conglomerate who has ties in Defense Elements, such as aerospace, missiles, land mines, cluster bombs and napalm.
  77.  
  78.  
  79. * Banks:
  80. * Reason: The CISA bill will protect banks from "cyber terrorists threats". However, all of these banks are secure and do not have any viable issues with their online security. Therefore, the money given to them will be used for other purposes, such as funding senators or increasing their own pay checks.
  81. * Goldman Sachs Group, Inc: American multinational investment banking firm which has ties to numerous technology-inclined companies like Twitter, Apple, etc.
  82. * They are very likely to secure their large investments by contributing to senators that might swing the deal of CISA's passage to a landslide win.
  83. * Blackstone Group: American multinational private equity, investment banking, alternative asset management and financial services corporation.
  84. * They also own shares and/or companies that are technology-inclined and could possibly profit if a cybersecurity bill is passed.
  85. * Morgan Stanley: American multinational financial services corporation which is also dominant in technology investment banking.
  86. * They serve as lead underwriter for many of the largest global tech IPOs, including: Facebook, Apple, Netscape, Cisco, Compaq, Broadcast.com, Broadcom Corp, VeriSign, Inc., Cogent, Inc., Dolby Laboratories, Priceline, Salesforce, Brocade, Google and Groupon.
  87. * The Carlyle Group: American global asset management firm.
  88. * Currently owns shares and/or companies that are involved in security, technology, etc.
  89. * Wells Fargo: Wells Fargo & Company is an American multinational banking and financial services holding company.
  90. * As a bank, they are liable to protect their online severs which hosts banks account numbers and credit card numbers. While these should be protected, they have never had a breach in their security and have no need to have additional money for this.
  91.  
  92.  
  93. * Security Companies
  94. * Reason: Security companies would be given a steep increase in fundraising if the CISA bill is passed. While none of them have direct financial ties with the senators, the United States of America government has worked closely with these companies in the past for spying on citizens. Every security company would be given financial status; the ones below are a few examples out of many.
  95. * Stratfor: Strategic Forecasting, Inc. is an American publisher and global intelligence company.
  96. * As a third party security company, Stratfor will be given an increase in fundraising. As seen in the past, the government of United States of America enjoys to work with Stratfor to spy on the citizens of the United States.
  97. * Booz Allen: Booz Allen Hamilton Inc. is an American management consulting firm.
  98. * With the investments and status that Booz Allen currently have, they qualify to be given money if the CISA bill is passed. They have no need for this money, in turn it would be used for personal gain.
  99.  
  100.  
  101. ..:::Senators:::..
  102.  
  103. Sen. Mike Rodgers:
  104. * Spouse: Kristi Rogers
  105. * Description: Kristi Rogers was the president and CEO of Aegis LLC, a defense services company, also served as Managing Director of Washington Office at Manatt, Phelps & Phillips, LLP since February 2013. They are heavily invested in this sector and would benefit tremendously if this bill passed.
  106. * Threat Level: Severe
  107. * Notes/Evidence:
  108. * Will make profits via his wife
  109. * Has no individual investments in her company
  110. * Links:
  111. * http://www.bloomberg.com/research/stocks/private/person.asp?personId=132859540&privcapId=24624470
  112. * Proof stating that Kristi Clemens Rogers previous work experience with the defense and security sectors
  113. * https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130417/16253022748/oh-look-rep-mike-rogers-wife-stands-to-benefit-greatly-cispa-passing.shtml
  114. * Article showing how Kristi Clemens Rogers will benefit from the CISPA bill passing, and since CISA is the same bill, the effects will be the same
  115. * http://pfds.opensecrets.org/N00009668_2013.pdf
  116. * Senator Mike Rodgers 2013 Offical Financial Report. Pages to Note: 5
  117. * Conclusion:
  118. * Senator Mike Rodgers will earn money through his wife. Kristi Rogers is heavily invested in the defense services and the CISA bill will increase the budget for the defence and security sector. This will allow Mike Rodgers and his wife to increase their personal annual revenue.
  119.  
  120.  
  121. Sen. Dianne Feinstein:
  122. * Spouse: Richard C. Blum
  123. * Description: He is the chairman and president of Blum Capital. He serves as a director on a number of boards, including Playtex Products, Glenborough Realty Trust and is Chairman of CB Richard Ellis. He also serves as Co-Chairman of the World Conference on Religion and Peace and is Founder and Chairman of the American Himalayan Foundation and is a board member of the World Wildlife Fund and the Wilderness Society. He is also a trustee and a member of the executive committee of The Carter Center, founded by former President Jimmy Carter. He is in the top 1% of wealth in America.
  124. * Threat Level: Severe
  125. * Notes/Evidence:
  126. * Securities & Investment donated over $350,000 to her campaign
  127. * 4th highest donor
  128. * Links:

  132. * Richard C. Blum and Dianne Feinstein is the "power couple"

  134. * Senator Dianne Feinstein Fundraising for her campaign
  135. * https://www.opensecrets.org/pfds/assets.php?year=2013&cid=N00007364
  136. * Senator Dianee Feinstein assets
  137. * Conclusion:
  138. * With Senator Dianne Feinstein spouse having such a dominate stance in many different sectors, he would benefit highly from the CISA bill passing. There are many issues when a senator has a direct correlation with powerful people, and this is an instance where corruption runs deep. Not only will her husband gain profit from the CISA bill, so will her donors, the Securities and Investments department. This would allow a lot of money to be funnelled into both her own pocket and back into her campaign donors.
  139.  
  140.  
  141. Sen. Tom Cotton:
  142. * Spouse: Anna Peckham
  143. * Description: Judicial Clerk at the Montana Supreme Court until 2005, then Assistant United States Attorney at the U.S Attorney Office, In 2008 became and Attorney with Davis & Cannon, LLP and is currently a deputy General Counsel with the U.S Government.
  144. * Threat Level: High
  145. * Notes/Evidence:
  146. * Securities & Investment donated over $1,100,000 to his campaign
  147. * 2nd largest donor
  148. * Goldman Sachs Bank contributed over $50,000 to his campaign
  149. * 5th largest contributor
  150. * Wants to fund the defense budget more

  158. * https://www.opensecrets.org/pfds/assets.php?year=2013&cid=N00033363
  159. * Senator Tom Cotton assets
  160. * Conclusion:
  161. * Senator Tom Cotton, like all other senators, is heavily funded by Securities & Investment, a hedge fund company, who will be getting a portion of the money that CISA is funding. This would allow Senator Tom Cotton to get reinvested this way by them donating more to his campaign again. He also got money from the banks, who will also be getting some money that CISA is funding. Senator Tom Cotton also wants to increase the defense budget more, and with CISA coming around the corner, it is more than likely to have some correlation.
  162.  
  163.  
  164. Sen. Roy Blunt:
  165. * Spouse: Abigail Perlman Blunt
  166. * Description: Nothing Important
  167. * Threat Level: None
  168. * Notes/Evidence:
  169. * Securities & Investment donated over $900,000 to his campaign
  170. * Largest donor
  171. * Goldman Sachs Bank contributed over $90,000 to his campaign
  172. * 3rd largest contributor
  173. * Reinstated plan to fund banks.
  174. * Giving banks more money for personal reasons
  175. * Pushing to pass National Defense Authorization Act
  176. * Will give more funding to National Defense and Security

  184. * https://www.opensecrets.org/pfds/assets.php?year=2013&cid=N00005195
  185. * Senator Roy Blunt assets
  186. * Conclusion:
  187. * Not only is Senator Roy Blunt largest donations came from the Securities & Investment sector, but also a large donor was Goldman Sachs Bank, who has ties in technology-inclined companies, which will be given more money to Goldman Sachs Bank, which can then be reinvested into Roy Blunt. Funding the banks for Senator Roy Blunt would help them get a larger money grant from the government due to the CISA Bill. Meanwhile, he is pushing for another security bill which Obama said they do not have the funding for. Either Senator Roy Blunt is terrible with dividing money proportionately, or he is getting something out of pushing all of these "defense and security" bills right now.

  190. Sen. James Risch:
  191. * Spouse: Vicki Risch
  192. * Description: No importance
  193. * Threat Level: None

  196. * 3rd largest donor
  197. * Has between $50,000-$131,000 in US Bank Account/Checking
  198. * Will raise if a security bill is raised
  199. * Links:

  201. * Senator James Risch fundraising for his campaign
  202. * https://www.opensecrets.org/pfds/assets.php?year=2013&cid=N00029441
  203. * Senator James Risch assets
  204. * Conclusion:
  205. * Honeywell International is a large contributor to Senator James Risch campaign. With the security bill being passed, more money will be funnelled into the pockets of Honeywell International, which in turn will allow Senator James Risch to receive more money for his next campaign. He also has money invested in the US banks, so he will have an increase in money when the banks are given their cut of the defense budget.
  206.  
  207.  
  208. Sen. Dan Coats:
  209. * Spouse: Marsha Coats
  210. * Description: Marsha Coats is the Indiana's Republican National Committeewoman. She has power of the the senate and can influnence them to vote one way or another

  228. * Summary of Dan Coats assets
  229. * Conclusion:
  230. * Senator Dan Coats will has started to lose money over the years. His main contributor to his campaign Security and Investments, and if CISA is passed then the security sector will increase significantly which will help his campaign to get elected again. With his personal finances decreasing, he will be more dependent on his contributors to raise money for his next election. His investments in Wells Fargo will also increase his income as Wells Fargo will have a steep increase in their economic status as they are also considered to be in the security sector. Meanwhile, he is also pushing to help reinvest in banks and give banks more money. He also wants to pass more defense bills, which would give money to the the companies that CISA would also fund.

  233. Sen. Marco Rubio:

  239. * 2nd largest donor
  240. * Elliott Management contributed over $110,000 to his campaign
  241. * 2nd largest contributor.
  242. * Goldman Sachs Bank contributed over $90,000 to his campaign
  243. * 4th largest contributor
  244. * Have between $100,00-$250,000 invested in Citibank Miami, FL/Checking
  245. * Invested in banks; money would increase if a security bill passes
  246. * Wants to remove defense budgets

  254. * https://www.opensecrets.org/pfds/assets.php?year=2013&cid=N00030612
  255. * Senator Marco Rubio assets
  256. * Conclusion:
  257. * Senator Marco Rubio has direct ties to his campaign funding from security, defense and telecommunication. With the increase of money, he could run a more efficient campaign for the next term. His assets are tied to banks which will allow him to increase his annual income significantly. The fact that Senator Marco Rubio wants to remove the defense budget means he has clear stake in the financial growth of the defence sector. Due to the circumstances that he wants a significant change like this right as the time CISA is about to voted on so more than enough reason to be suspicious.
  258.  
  259.  
  260. Sen. Richard Mauze Burr:
  261. * Spouse: Brooke Burr
  262. * Description: Brooke Burr is a partner with the real estate firm of Leonard Ryden Burr in Winston-Salem. She has more than 16 years of experience in residential real estate and received her degree in economics management from Salem College. In addition to her real estate career, Brooke serves as a member of the Poor and Needy Advisory Board of the Kate B. Reynolds Charitable Trust, serves on the Advisory Board of the Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Cancer Center and is involved in several other organizations throughout the community.

  276. * Summary of Richard Burrs fundraising for his campaign
  277. * Conclusion:
  278. * Senator Richard Burr has had a steady increase in his revenue for some time now. Clearly he is earning money from an outside source and only cares about his own personal wealth. It is reasonable to assume that he may have backdoor deals with companies who stand to gain financially from the passing of CISA.
  279.  
  280.  
  281. Sen. Susan Collins:
  282. * Spouse: Thomas Daffron
  283. * Description: Choose Senator Susan Collins as an intern for Sen. Bill Cohen’s congressional office in 1974. He considered himself her mentor. He served with both a liberal Democrat, Rep. Mo Udall of Arizona, and a moderate Republican, Sen. Charles Percy of Illinois. Appears to have no ties to current Senate besides his wife.
  284. * Threat Level: Low
  285. * Notes/Evidence:
  286. * Securities & Investment donated over $300,000 to her campaign.
  287. * 3rd largest donor
  288. * Has $15,000 invested in Wells Fargo Bank

  297. * Senator Susan Collions assets
  298. * Conclusion:
  299. * The investments that Susan Collions has in Wells Fargo and ADP will allow her annual revenue to increase highly. This means she would directly be earning money from the CISA bill and could reinvest in companies that would profit, such as Wells Fargo and ADP. Clearly this is the main purpose she has for passing the cyber surveillance bill.

  302. Sen. James Lankford:
  303. * Spouse: Cindy Lankford
  304. * Description: No Importance

  313. * Senator James Lankford assets
  314. * Conclusion:
  315. * Senator James Lankford gets campaign money from banks, who are likely to receive and increase funding if the CISA bill is passed. This is allow him to get more money for either his campaign or for his own personal wealth.

  422. ..:::Summary:::..
  423. This document was compiled to show the clear financial reasoning behind the current incarnation of the CISA bill as well as give insight into the political landscape around the CISA bill. We have begun to analyse corporate ties within the senate's personal finances. The information contained in this document amounts to little more than speculation and theory, however, it paints a clear picture as too the reasoning being this legislation both in regards to finances as well as current direction on surveillance.
  424.  
  425. Fifteen senators who are heavily pushing the CISA bill have either direct campaign financing or personal financial assets invested in the passing of this bill. Many even have both. In most cases, we are seeing corporations receiving financial kickbacks from CISA, in turn funnelling money directly back into the campaigns of the senators who are voting yes on this legislation. It is not an uncommon cycle to present itself within the senate, but only when the data is compiled such as it is in this document, does the corruption become clear.
  426.  
  427. We will continue with this analysis and compile more data. As more information surfaces, it will be edited and released to the public in the spirit of true transparency.
