Email Exposé: Southern Company Lobbyist Critical Element in North Birmingham; DOJ Compromised
The trifecta was complete. With U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions, Principal Deputy Attorney General Jeffrey H. Wood, and U.S. Attorney Jay E. Town, Southern Company compromised the U.S. Department of Justice with three of their most ardent lackeys in power at the same time. We, the CDLU, provided documentation in December of 2017 to Jim Kerr, the Senior Vice President, General Counsel, Chief Compliance Officer, and Chief of Staff of Southern Company showing indisputably that Jeffrey H. Wood, a lobbyist for embattled law firm Balch & Bingham, had lobbied on behalf of Alabama Power in the second and third quarters…

Southern Company Involved “Up to Their Eyeballs” in North Birmingham
Southern Company lied to us in 2018 when they said they were not involved in the North Birmingham Bribery Scandal. Jim Kerr, the former Chief Compliance Officer, Senior Vice President, General Counsel, and Chief of Staff of Southern Company blatantly denied in January of 2018 that Southern Company was involved with the immoral and criminal effort to suppress African Americans from having their toxic property tested by the EPA. Kerr had the audacity to call the racism a “hypothesis.” Now, we, the CDLU, have received a bunch of emails and documents anonymously showing that Southern Company was indeed involved in…

RICO Enterprise Lied and Bribed! Southern Company’s “Creative Accounting” at Vogtle Exposed
Net income at Southern Company rose to $3.5 billion in 2022, a 47 percent increase as compared to 2021. Last year, the Alabama Public Service Commission rubber-stamped three rate increases at Alabama Power generating an estimated $400 million a year in additional revenue. The most-profitable subsidiary of Southern Company, Alabama Power, has been helping cover the enormous billion-dollar cost overruns at both the Vogtle Nuclear Power Plant and the boondoggle Kemper Plant in Mississippi. But Alabama Power is not alone. Another Southern Company subsidiary, Georgia Power obtained a $1.8 billion rate increase on December 20, 2022. Causing outrage, the rate…

Spreadsheets Confirm Waste of Millions by Southern Company Against Innocent Victims
The expenditures had no corporate purpose whatsoever. In a seven-week period in the summer of 2020, Southern Company approved expenditures of over $318,000 to target, smear, intimidate, and threaten innocent victims. The victims included us, the CDLU, Burt Newsome, K.B. Forbes and their respective families. The CDLU, the Forbes Family, and the Newsome Family were not adversaries or competitors of Southern Company or its subsidiaries. At a burn rate of $45,000 a week, Southern Company may have spent more than $1 million a year in expenses related to dark ops, surveillance, and clandestine misconduct spearheaded by obscure consulting firm Matrix,…

Spring Break Madness at Southern Company
We will return next week. However, Spring Break madness has erupted at Southern Company. From DonaldWatkins.com stunning reports, to allegations of accounting fraud, from independent directors allegedly pocketing millions, to Kristine L. Svinicki’s unethical, conflict-of-interest tainted appointment, Southern Company is suffering from complete chaos. Employee morale is in the toilet and employees are making their angry voices known. Spring Break…a time to let loose and party. The chain of command at Southern Company changes this week, yet no one is drinking from a beer bong, or celebrating with a wet t-shirt contest. Instead, Kerr, Peoples, Fanning and others are suffering…

Southern Company Dismisses Suppression of African-Americans in Alabama as a “Hypothesis”
[This post originally was published on June 30, 2020 after the murder of George Floyd. Now, with the riveting report about Jim Kerr from DonaldWatkins.com, the Southern Company Board of Directors appears to have been consistently and repeatedly misled by their Chief Compliance Officer, Kerr. Kerr lied to us and now documents, including financial spreadsheets, in our and law enforcement’s possession demonstrate unequivocally that Southern Company was involved in both the North Birmingham Bribery Scandal and the Newsome Conspiracy Case.] Refusing to fire alleged racist law firm Balch & Bingham, Southern Company CEO and Chairman Tom Fanning’s leadership is now…

Use of Fear, Threat of Death: Alabama Power CEO Jeff Peoples Approved Terrorizing Children and Hid Payment as “Transportation Organization Management”
Top Alabama Power employees have been documenting Peoples’ demands to cover themselves in the event things at the company blowup… DonaldWatkins.com Yesterday’s breaking news report from DonaldWatkins.com that included audio of Alabama Power’s new but embattled Chairman and CEO Jeff Peoples declaring “what ya’ll are going to get from me is sunshine and transparency” has caused a firestorm at the utility. Peoples comments of “sunshine and transparency” go counter to the hard evidence law enforcement and others have.

Perkins Allegedly Barked at Crosswhite: “Pack Your Bags!” – – Crosswhite Cooperating with Feds
Sources close to Southern Company have anonymously reached out to us describing the troubling turmoil that has beset the unholy alliance of Balch & Bingham, Matrix, LLC, and Alabama Power. In the past two weeks, the alliance appears to be imploding, and leaks from the C-Suite on down are providing a flood of stunning information and alarming activity. Shortly after King & Spalding was hired last year to probe the spying on and surveillance of Southern Company Chairman and CEO Tom Fanning and his then-girlfriend in 2017, Alabama Power Chairman and CEO Mark A. Crosswhite had a heated exchange at…

Kingpins of Obstruction! Crosswhite Demanded Creation of AJE while Town Provided Unfettered Protection
Mark A. Crosswhite, the disgraced ex-Chairman and CEO of Alabama Power who was ousted in November, demanded the creation of the money laundering entity called the Alliance for Jobs and the Economy (AJE) in the the North Birmingham Bribery Scandal, according to an explosive report published yesterday on DonaldWatkins.com.

Sex, Lies, and Photographs: Alabama Power CEO Jeff Peoples Kowtows to “Sloppy” Joe Perkins
The latest question from Southern Company insiders is: When will Jeff Peoples be ousted? The appointment in January of Jeff Peoples as Chairman and CEO of Alabama Power after Mark A. Crosswhite’s abrupt ouster during Thanksgiving week in 2022 is seen as a stopgap appointment in that Peoples, 63 at the time of his appointment, has mandatory retirement at 65 years of age. Peoples has maintained the extremely controversial relationship with “Sloppy Joe” Perkins, the founder of Matrix, LLC, the consulting firm that engaged in alleged unethical if not criminal misconduct and whose entities received over $2.2 million a year…

Liar, Liar, Balch on Fire!
As the criminal predicated acts of the RICO enterprise are reviewed, new evidence is emerging. The genesis of this blog was the Newsome Conspiracy Case and now a key defense in the case has been confirmed as a lie. Repeatedly, under oath and in court pleadings, Balch & Bingham alleged they did not know who Alfred W. Seier III was. Al Seier was the individual who pulled a gun on Burt Newsome in 2012, and declared vulgarly, “This is last time you are going to f*** with my wife!” Newsome had spearheaded a legal collection effort against Seier’s wife Sharon…

Svinicki, a Board Member of Southern Company and former NRC Chairman, for “any direct or indirect communication” between Svinicki and the NRC after she was appointed a member of Southern’s Board in October of 2021.
