An American Citizen’s Obligation to Act

Patrick Byrne, the founder and CEO of Overstock.com, resigned his position on Thursday. A self-aware Ph.D in philosophy, Patrick was stirred and advised by his “Omaha rabbi,” i.e., his endearing term for Warren Buffett, to follow his conscience. It was his obligation to act as an American citizen to step away from his company, thereby “leaving things to the esteemed Department of Justice,” his letter to shareholders stated.

Three times Byrne claims he has “helped the Men in Black,” in an apparent reference to the federal government. The first was when his close friend, NBA Star Brian Williams, a.k.a. Bison Dele, was believed murdered in Tahiti. The next was as in connection with investigating a Wall Street scandal. The third time was some initiative involving Deep State corruption.

In a press conference as CEO of Overstock.com on August 12, 2019, Patrick addressed his concerns extending back to 2015. He claims there was political espionage against Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, and to a lesser extent Marco Rubio, and Ted Cruz. He ended his press conference about the Deep State by confirming the accuracy of two articles written by Sara Carter.

It turns out I was a tool in a game of political espionage.

The corporate press conference initially fulfilled his obligation as a citizen of the United States. At the close of the presser, he indicated that he planned on “sitting back and watching the United States Department of Justice re-establish rule of law in our country.”

The Russian Connection

Patrick’s resignation landed him on the FOX Business Network set of Bulls and Bears. Appearing in a Make America Grateful Again cap, complete with an iconic Grateful Dead logo, Patrick was emotional and focused. At times, the man who described himself as a “flag-waving hippie,” found it difficult to answer questions.

Pressed that as CEO of a large company that he could have stepped away from his involvement in an FBI matter, Patrick replied, “I’m an American citizen too… if everyone helped out just a little, things would be easier…I acted consistent with my values…it was my honor to help the Men in Black.” The matter involved a Russian operative he connected with at Freedom Fest 2015, where he was a keynote speaker.

At one point, the Fox anchor aggressively pressed him about his role as CEO and how he feels about the stock rallying since he stepped down. “As a shareholder, I feel great,” Byrne said. He noted that if you want to help him, “Go buy your daughter a rug at Overstock.com.”

Central Bank Nonsense Exposed?

The Washington establishment is about to come after him, Byrne claims. “It turns out I was a tool in a game of political espionage…I only figured it out last summer.” Evidently, Peter Strzok and Andrew McCabe’s names came up as allegedly placing orders with Overstock.com in July 2015.

Patrick Byrne was very clear that he was not phased out by the Overstock board. He stepped away because he received a warning that “the apparatus of Washington is going to grind me into the dust…that’s going to happen and I have to get that away from the company.”

The program host ended the clip with a comment, “This may undermine some of the central bank nonsense that’s going on right now.”

The Central Bank is an abbreviated term for the centralized banking system. In the United States, since 1913, our banking system is controlled by the Federal Reserve System, often referred to as the Fed.

The segment closing comment about the central bank nonsense was an echo to me of President Trump’s battle with the Fed and its holding America’s economy back. Like a jigsaw picture when an unlikely puzzle piece falls into place, Byrne’s sense of obligation and actions bring more focus to the Russian collusion narrative. Patrick Byrne, American citizen.
