On Fire! Southern Company Criminal Misconduct Allegations Escalate and Solidify
Top executives at Southern Company appear to have lied repeatedly, consistently, and habitually. What a hot mess! Claiming that a million-dollar internal probe did not find out who authorized or why a surveillance effort was conducted against ex-Southern Company CEO Tom Fanning and his then-girlfriend in 2017, Southern Company looks like a sack of lying fools at best or a bunch of incompetent imbeciles at worst. Yesterday’s Wall Street Journal report appears to solidify and escalate the criminal misconduct allegations against Southern Company, and shows an epic size hole in their compliance, regulatory, and oversight executive team. No one believes…

Mumbo Jumbo! No Mystery who Paid for Southern Company Surveillance Operations
Southern Company prematurely states, “We have moved on.” We, the CDLU, have not. A report published by The Wall Street Journal today outlining the “mystery” corporate surveillance operations at Southern Company has spurred more scrutiny in that Southern Company claims “it has no idea who ordered the operation or why.” “Southern Company is using mumbo jumbo words. Southern Company paid for the surveillance, and they do not deny the expenditures at all,” said Ernesto Pichardo, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the CDLU. “Last year, according to news reports, Southern Company paid a generous financial settlement to former…

True Heroes: Community that United Against Balch & Bingham’s Alleged “Whites-Only” Land Grab in Vincent, Alabama
This spring, we, the CDLU, drove to Vincent, Alabama and met with the courageous leaders that united the African American and white communities to stunningly defeat well-financed Balch & Bingham political stooges in 2019. In a shocking, lopsided vote, residents cleaned house and tossed out the politicians by margins as high as 69 percent to 31 percent. The election results were a crushing blow to Balch and a planned rock quarry. Over a decade ago, Balch & Bingham lawyers (and their public relations stooges) spearheaded the strategic purchase of farmland and the fast-as-lightening re-zoning of said land, and oversaw the…

Crushing Defeat for Balch & Bingham! U.S. Supreme Court Rejects Repugnant Racist Redistricting Scheme
Embattled and alleged racist law firm Balch & Bingham was handed a huge, crushing defeat this morning by the U.S. Supreme Court which rejected Balch’s congressional voting redistricting defense for the State of Alabama. Dorman Walker, a Balch partner, represented the State of Alabama and John H. Merrill, the former Alabama Secretary of State, during arguments before the nation’s highest court. “Under the Court’s precedents, a district is not equally open when minority voters face—unlike their majority peers—bloc voting along racial lines, arising against the backdrop of substantial racial discrimination within the State, that renders a minority vote unequal to…

Town Probe Over; SEC, DOJ Investigations of Southern Company Escalate; NRC Digs Into Svinicki
The correspondence we received recently from the Office of Professional Responsibility at the U.S. Department of Justice was clear: the probe of disgraced ex-U.S. Attorney Jay E. Town is over. “We are taking no further action,” they wrote, which reveals that an alleged deal was cut in 2020. The quid pro quo: the abrupt resignation of Town meant he wouldn’t be investigated or prosecuted for criminal misconduct, especially now since he is no longer a U.S. Attorney No further action, indeed. Even though Town is off the hook, insiders claim that the criminal probe of Southern Company’s criminal enterprise is…
