Microsoft Guilty But Protected by NSA, AB PAC, India, and DelBenes



By Duane Thresher, Ph.D.          March 22, 2021

IT incompetent Microsoft is guilty of The Doomsday Microsoft Government Email Data Breach and Doomsday II: The Massive Microsoft Email Data Breach Sequel and should be in serious, even terminal, legal and public relations/business trouble for it, but remains untouchable. This is because Microsoft is being protected, for several reasons, by those in and closely tied to the federal government. First, Microsoft has become inherent in federal government IT over the decades and it's too late for the federal government to do anything but defend Microsoft, no matter how disastrously IT incompetent they are. Second, Microsoft has colluded with the National Security Agency (NSA) to spy on Americans and is being rewarded for that by the federal government. Third, Microsoft, via its IT incompetent leadership, including those from India, has paid for many elected federal officials. These include U.S. Representative Suzan DelBene from Washington state, home of Microsoft, who used to be a Microsoft executive, and whose husband Kurt DelBene is a longtime Microsoft executive, except for when he was appointed by the federal government to implement HealthCare.gov, which was hacked at implementation; see HealthCare.gov Hacked. While at Microsoft, IT incompetent Kurt DelBene managed both Outlook, implicated in The Doomsday Microsoft Government Email Data Breach, and Exchange, implicated in Doomsday II: The Massive Microsoft Email Data Breach Sequel. Not to mention — and no one does — Microsoft liberally supports the dirty tricks political action committee, AB PAC.

As I explained in The Doomsday Microsoft Government Email Data Breach, Microsoft has become inherent in federal government IT over the decades. For example, Microsoft Office, which includes Outlook email, is standard in all federal government offices; in fact, files from the federal government are often Microsoft Office .doc files instead of .pdf. It's too late for the federal government to do anything but defend Microsoft, no matter how disastrously IT incompetent they are. It would be political suicide for the federal government to admit, by declaring Microsoft guilty and punishing them, that they turned over federal IT to such an IT incompetent corporation and it destroyed federal IT. This is part of the IT incompetence principle of IT Hiring: No Personal Consequences for IT Incompetence, Just Excuses.

As I also explained in The Doomsday Microsoft Government Email Data Breach, Microsoft has made an extensive and vigorous effort to provide built-in easy access to Outlook email, and probably also Exchange email, to the NSA (also hacked during the doomsday data breaches) — and thus the CIA, FBI, etc. — for their electronic surveillance efforts, as proven by documents stolen from the NSA and CIA when they were hacked by Edward Snowden (in what was then called the worst data breach in history). Some of this NSA spying was on Americans, with whom it is deeply offensive. If many Americans knew that Microsoft was helping the NSA spy on Americans, Microsoft would suffer severely in their public relations/business. Microsoft thus has to be rewarded for this NSA collusion by being protected by the federal government.

Microsoft, via its IT incompetent leadership, including those from India, has paid for many elected federal officials, particularly through AB PAC. These very large contributions are documented by the Federal Election Commission (FEC), assuming the FEC data has not been tampered with — see Federal Judiciary Reacts To Hackers: Evidence Tampering OK, Exposing NSA Surveillance Not — since the FEC was hacked during The Doomsday Microsoft Government Email Data Breach.

As I discussed in The Doomsday Microsoft Government Email Data Breach, Satya Nadella is the CEO of Microsoft and a cheap IT incompetent programmer from India. In 2016 Nadella made two $2,700 contributions (the max) to liberal Democrat Suzan DelBene, a U.S. Representative from Washington state, home of Microsoft. In 2018 Nadella also made two $2,700 contributions, one to DelBene again and one to Adam Smith, another liberal Democrat U.S. Representative from Washington state.

There are even more contributions to Democrat U.S. Representative Suzan DelBene by Microsoft leadership; see ahead. Why so many contributions to Suzan DelBene ? Because Democrat Suzan DelBene is both a former Microsoft executive herself, having been Corporate Vice President for Mobile Communications (which was probably useful to the NSA), and the wife of Kurt DelBene , Microsoft Executive Vice President since January 2021 — but scheduled to retire at the end of the fiscal year — and for six years before that Microsoft Executive Vice President of Corporate Strategy and Core Services Engineering and Operations. For 21 years, from 1992 to 2013, Kurt DelBene was President of the Microsoft Office Division, and Office includes Microsoft email; see The Doomsday Microsoft Government Email Data Breach.

Kurt DelBene only has management degrees, so is IT incompetent (see The Most Important IT Credential: An IT Education in Principles of IT Incompetence), and was previously general manager for Outlook and group program manager for Exchange. Outlook was the IT incompetent Microsoft email responsible for The Doomsday Microsoft Government Email Data Breach and Exchange was the IT incompetent Microsoft email responsible for Doomsday II: The Massive Microsoft Email Data Breach Sequel.

In 2013 Kurt DelBene was "retired in a reorganization" of Microsoft. A couple of months later in 2013, DelBene was appointed by Democrat President Barack Obama to oversee, as part of the hacked Department of Health and Human Services, the implementation of HealthCare.gov, which was disastrous and hacked right from its launch in 2013; see HealthCare.gov Hacked.

In 2015 Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella hired back Kurt DelBene, but only for his new political connections, since Nadella knew DelBene was IT incompetent, even more than Nadella himself (see The Doomsday Microsoft Government Email Data Breach). Obama only hired DelBene because he was from Microsoft, so supposedly must be IT competent, and was available, never wondering why he was available.

As I said in The Doomsday Microsoft Government Email Data Breach, "Of course, with its CEO [Satya Nadella] now being a cheap IT incompetent programmer from India, Microsoft hires even more cheap IT incompetent programmers from India." Another cheap IT incompetent programmer from India who leads Microsoft, and is even more directly responsible for the Microsoft email doomsday data breaches, is Rajesh Jha , Executive Vice President for the last 15 years.

Rajesh Jha leads the development of Office 365, which includes Microsoft email; see The Doomsday Microsoft Government Email Data Breach. Jha only has a bachelor’s degree in computer science from the Indian Institute of Technology Madras, which is way down at #639 in Best Global Universities according to U.S. News, the premier college ranker, and a master’s degree in computer science from a low-ranked American University; see The Most Important IT Credential: An IT Education in Principles of IT Incompetence, which specifies IT degrees and good universities (like me).

A quote from an interview with IT incompetent Rajesh Jha on how he felt about working at Microsoft: "Wow, I can't believe they're actually trusting me to ship stuff. And sure enough, you know, I had some hideous bugs that went out in the first release, and I was incredibly down on myself."

For at least the last ten years, Rajesh Jha has made maximum contributions to Democrat U.S. Representative Suzan DelBene. Perhaps more importantly, in 2020 Rajesh Jha made a $100,000 and then a $25,000 contribution to AB PAC, which is a Super PAC.

PACs are political action committees, which may legally engage in unlimited political spending (usually on ads), and Super PACs are PACs that, unlike regular PACs, may legally raise funds from individuals, corporations, unions, and other groups without any limit on contribution size. AB PAC stands for American Bridge 21st Century PAC and is the "dirty tricks" PAC for the Democratic Party, founded by David Brock , an ideologically-confused writer from anti free speech (as Brock himself points out) UC Berkeley. AB PAC employs many high-tech equipped (by Microsoft and/or NSA?) "trackers" to stalk Republican candidates around the country and record everything they do and say at all times (much like the NSA), even private times while not campaigning, as well as digging deeply into their pasts and compiling dossiers on them, all for the purpose of making truth-distorting attack ads to hurt Republicans, as AB PAC itself proudly advertises.

Another IT incompetent programmer who leads Microsoft is Kevin Scott , Chief Technology Officer (CTO) since 2017. Kevin Scott has degrees in computer science but from low-ranked colleges. Scott uses a fake first name, James, in the FEC database to make it hard to figure out who he is ("James Scott" may be a pseudonym in honor of the famous African-American ragtime composer). Scott too makes maximum contributions to Democrat U.S. Representative Suzan DelBene. Perhaps more importantly, Scott made a $30,000 contribution in 2017, when he first became Microsoft CTO, a $50,000 contribution in 2018, and a $50,000 contribution in 2019, all to Democratic dirty tricks PAC, AB PAC. Scott advertises himself as a humanitarian caring about society, like all Microsoft leadership does actually, but out of the spotlight heavily contributes to such antisocial behavior.

As I discussed in Doomsday II: The Massive Microsoft Email Data Breach Sequel, Bradford Lee Smith is President and Chief Legal Officer of Microsoft, as well as being Microsoft's white mouthpiece during the Microsoft email doomsday data breaches. Brad Smith only has degrees in public affairs and law. In the FEC database, Smith has made so many maximum contributions to so many Democrat political candidates under so many variations of his name that it is impossible to find and list them all. They of course include Democrat U.S. Representative Suzan DelBene , but also Democrat Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi (over $125,000), Democrat President Joe Biden , Democrat Vice President Kamala Harris , and Microsoft's own Democrat PAC, MSVPAC (the "V" stands for "Voluntary", lest anyone think that if you work at Microsoft you must donate to it, even if that is true).

As I also discussed in Doomsday II: The Massive Microsoft Email Data Breach Sequel, John Thompson is Chairman of Microsoft, but is kept out of the spotlight. Thompson only has business degrees and was the one who chose Satya Nadella to be CEO of Microsoft. He is an African-American with long close ties to the Democratic Party and its federal government officials. For example, Democrat Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi appointed Thompson to the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission. In 2020 John Thompson made two $50,000 contributions to Democratic dirty tricks PAC, AB PAC.

You can be certain Democrat U.S. Representative Suzan DelBene , along with Democrat Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi , will do whatever is necessary in Congress to protect Microsoft.

It's telling to note that the Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives were themselves hacked by their IT incompetent Pakistani IT tech Imran Awan, but all that happened to him was he was sentenced to time served, which in legal terms is almost the same thing as saying "not guilty", particularly if you were out on bail and didn't serve any time. Awan was sentenced by Jamaican-born Democrat (based on her political contributions) judge Tanya Chutkan of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, after being investigated by the Department of Justice and the FBI, which were hacked in The Doomsday Microsoft Government Email Data Breach and Doomsday II: The Massive Microsoft Email Data Breach Sequel; see also Federal Judiciary Reacts To Hackers: Evidence Tampering OK, Exposing NSA Surveillance Not.
