NEW: As turmoil roils DC, a Russian-linked battery company is embedding itself in the US energy sector - Bankrupt NC battery plant Alevo, funded by Russian oligarch Dmitry Rybolovlev, has re-emerged as Innolith retaining Alevo mgrs & Russia ties, my latest
link.medium.com/BtIIuIybN0
Bankrupt battery co Alevo had some notorious founders/funders including Russian oligarch Dmitry Rybolovlev - Innolith bought many Alevo's assets yet won't disclose its funders. But the CEO of Rybolovlev's family holding company is on the board of Innolith
medium.com/@wsiegelman/as…
Alevo was supposed to grow to 6000 employees & sell 16,000 GridBank units (container sized batteries that could provide power in blackouts & to remote areas) a year by 2020 - instead Alevo built & sold ONE GridBank before going bankrupt in 2017, however...
medium.com/@wsiegelman/as…
The one GridBank unit Alevo built was hooked up to the PJM network in MD, PJM is a regional transmission org that manages grid reliability for over 65 million people

No - Alevo wasn't going to take over the grid - but they likely were learning about it

medium.com/@wsiegelman/as…
Many key leaders at Alevo are at Innolith, including director Vladislav Baumgertner who was CEO of Rybolovlev's Uralkali

Shout out to D. Dulany who found key info including new Innolith director Kolonchina who is CEO of Rybolovlev's family office Rigmora

Eagle eye @dcpoll pointed me to Alevo Analytics (no known relationship to Cambridge Analytica)

Alevo Analytics participated in energy studies w/the states of MA MD & other industry leaders, the head of the unit moved to a new company partnering w/Innolith

@dcpoll Update HT @StacyJannis, Innolith & Customized Energy Solutions proposed May 2019 to install 2 battery stations, in addition to 1 in Hagerstown MD, with construction starting Jul 2020 & asked city to waive business personal property taxes on the 3 projects

@dcpoll @StacyJannis Innolith a leadership partner on India Energy Storage Alliance (IESA) website - described as "premier alliance to focus on advancement of advanced energy storage and e-mobility technologies in India...founded in 2012 by Customized Energy Solutions"

@dcpoll @StacyJannis Innolith - which has operations in NC and links to Dmitry Rybolovlev - was featured participant in Nov 2018 Battery Energy Storage Systems for Grid Applications Training organized by the U.S. Energy Association, USAID and India's Ministry of Power

Here's Mar 2019 lawsuit filed by Felix Vulis against Igor Fruman, Lev Parnas, David Correia, Global Energy related to $100,000 loan made Oct 1, 2018

Two days later on Oct 3, 2018, a $10,000 contribution from Vulis is listed in Friends of Ron Desantis PAC

Here's the $10,000 contribution from Felix Vulis to the Friends of Ron Desantis PAC on October 3, 2018, two days after Vulis loaned Global Energy Partners $100,000
friendsofrondesantis.com/wp-content/upl…
Good question why would Felix Vulis, CEO of Kazakhstani co ENRC loan $100K to Parnas, Fruman, Correia Global Energy Partners? Their lawyer's explanation to CNN to help Parnas pay for a bris & Vulis felt sorry for them seems unlikely

I see I've missed another episode of #StupidWatergate🤦‍♀️
It's like Manafort and Roger Stone's secret strategy was to make sure Trump made Nixon look good in retrospect
Or it's Putin's secret strategy to make Dems appreciate that the Kremlin may be our enemies but they are smart enemies

"UP TO 9.5 MILLION NET NEUTRALITY COMMENTS WERE MADE WITH STOLEN IDENTITIES"

Net neutrality demands internet service providers treat all content flowing through their cables and cell towers equally. That means they can't slide some data into “fast lanes” while blocking or discriminating against other material.wired.com/story/guide-ne…

0/50 Why we do think that Mr. Trump owes a debt to Mr. Putin? Here are fifty reasons. All of the facts are a matter of public record, and all of the sources can be found in my book The Road to Unfreedom. #RoadToUnfreedom
1/50 In 1984, Russian gangsters began to launder money by buying and selling apartment units in Trump Tower (#RoadToUnfreedom, p. 220).
2/50 In 1986, Mr. Trump was courted by Soviet diplomats, who suggested that a bright future awaited him in Moscow (#RoadToUnfreedom, p. 220).
