CrowdStrike Co-Founder Held Special Government Employee Status
epoch times ^ | 12/20/2019 | IVAN PENTCHOUKOV

Posted on 12/21/2019 5:30:12 PM PST by bitt

The Department of Defense granted Dmitri Alperovitch, the co-founder of cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike, the status of a special government employee in 2013, a Pentagon spokesperson confirmed to The Epoch Times.

Alperovitch held the status for one year starting on Nov. 23, 2013.

“He was an unpaid consultant limited to 60 total days in a year and has not provided any consulting services since that time,” Lt. Col. Carla Gleason, a Pentagon press spokesperson, wrote in an email.

“In his role as a special government employee, Alpervotich provided services in cybersecurity, forensic cyber analysis, and post-incident remediation.”

In 2013 and 2014, the U.S. government relied in part on CrowdStrike’s reports to identify China and North Korea as the culprits of state-sponsored hacks.

CrowdStrike did not respond to a request for comment.

The “cyber-czar” at the defense department at the time, Eric Rosenbach, requested for Alperovtich to be brought on as a special government employee, according to a former official familiar with the matter. Steven Schleien, who is now the chief operating officer at the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense, directed the onboarding process, the source said.

Rosenbach did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Alperovitch’s status as a special government employee has not been previously reported.

It might be interesting to investigate all of Obama's czars.

Another example of the “public/private” partnership Mussolini extolled. Also known as fascism.

Crowdstrike gets to shape government policy and be inside the room as decisions are made. Government gets to wash it’s hands of everything Crowdstrike does, and Crowdstrike gets government policies they want.

Everyone is represented except for citizens. Fascism.

November 2013 is when the Euromaiden protests began.

I think that crazy Ukrainian woman Alexandra Chalupa was involved in those.

Then when it’s time to overthrow the government, Crowdstrike shows up to say Russia hacked the DNC computers on behalf of their spy Trump, and no need for any FBI agents to even look at the servers.

It’s nifty how fascism operates.

NOVEMBER 21, 2013 PM : (UKRAINE : EUROMAIDAN PROTESTS -— See SOROS)
Euromaidan was a wave of demonstrations and civil unrest in Ukraine, which began on the night of 21 November 2013 with public protests in Maidan Nezalezhnosti in Kiev. The protests were sparked by the Ukrainian government’s decision to suspend the signing of an association agreement with the European Union, instead choosing closer ties to Russia and the Eurasian Economic Union. The scope of the protests soon widened, with calls for the resignation of President Viktor Yanukovych and his government. The protests were fueled by the perception of “widespread government corruption”, “abuse of power” and “violation of human rights in Ukraine”. Transparency International named President Yanukovych as the top example of corruption in the world. The situation escalated after the violent dispersal of protesters on 30 November, leading to many more protesters joining. The protests led to the 2014 Ukrainian revolution.

NOVEMBER 2013 : (UKRAINE : EUROMAIDAN PROTESTS BREAK OUT WHEN UKRAINIAN LEADER TERMINATES NEGOTIATIONS FOR ASSOCIATION AGREEMENT WITH THE EU [WERE THESE PROTESTS AS VIOLENT AS LEFTWING PROTESTS HERE?] ) Manafort advised Yanukovych to push ahead with an association agreement with the EU. But the EU insisted he release Tymoshenko, while Putin pressured him to abandon the deal.
In November 2013, Yanukovych terminated negotiations with the EU. The move triggered widespread protests.
Thousands camped out on Kiev’s Independence Square. More than 100 were killed in 2014 right before Yanukovych fled to Moscow. Ukrainian prosecutors are investigating who’s responsible and have combed through hacked text messages from Manafort’s daughter, Andrea, about her father’s role in cracking down on the uprising. Her texts say their money is “blood money.” Andrea Manafort didn’t respond to requests for comment.

Crowdstrike is a major, major part of this whole spygate issue as well as several more criminal activities. That is really what scared the dems about the Trump call to the Ukraine.

This all happened because the government was already Constitutionally overthrown, Obama is not a natural born citizen.

All of this and worse was to be expected from an usurper.

That is why the founders excluded the children of foreigners.

Only those who are naturally Americans because they could not be anything else are eligible.

We must never allow that to happen again.

Yes, the Democrats are making this about Biden and it’s really about Crowdstrike.
That is what President Trump asked about first in the phone call.

The month before [I don’t think Pootie realized Hillary was probably thinking of the tiger as China, lol]

OCTOBER 28, 2013 : (CHICAGO, IL : HILLARY CLINTON SPEECH; TALKS ABOUT THE TIME SHE VISITED PUTIN’S DACHA -— SEE “INNER SANCTUM” AND PROTECTING THE TIGER)
During a speech to the Jewish United Fund of Metropolitan Chicago on Oct. 28, 2013 she said,
“One time, I was visiting with him [Putin] in his dacha outside of Moscow, and he was going on and on, you know, just listing all of the problems that he thinks are caused by the United States,” Clinton said. “... I said, ‘You know, Mr. Prime Minister, we actually have some things in common. We both want to protect wildlife, and I know how committed you are to protecting the tiger.’ I mean, all of a sudden, he sat up straight and his eyes got big and he goes, ‘You care about the tiger?’”
Clinton said Putin then took her into his “private inner sanctum” and began showing her a huge map of Russia, pointing out “the habitat of the tigers and the habitat of the seals and the whales.”
