Is Ajit Pai Pulling a 5G Pay-For-Play?

A Pay-for-Play is when someone says 'I'll let you do it but you gotta pay me first' in a scenario where that sentence should not be part of the conversation.


There is much speculation that The Clinton Foundation was used as a Pay-for-Play piggie bank for Secretary Clinton while in office. It is said that she made a backroom deal to give ~$140M worth of uranium to Russia which it lacked in its ability to make nuclear warfare. It is said the Australian government gave Ms. Clinton ~$60M expecting favors once she was President. You get the idea. Those deals would be considered Pay-for-Play deals.


Ajit Pai is the head of the FCC. He controls the sales of $60B worth of US Government owned C-Band Spectrum (satellite internet ability). Until Senator John Kennedy spearheaded a campaign to stop it, Pai had the intention of discontinuing the traditional auction type sale of the spectrum and allowing it to go to one main player, The C-Span Alliance, a foreign company that had never done an auction. Whereas, the US had held 93 auctions. It appears Pai intended to allow that company (one in Luxembourg, two in Canada) to keep the entire anticipated $60B in profit.


Clearly, there is nothing that would make this theft of $60B from American taxpayer's pocketbooks a sensible goal. The only thing that makes sense is that he was taking a cut on the back-end. This would make it a Pay-For-Play deal.


I've written a couple other articles on it. See below:


As many of you know, there are concerns with foreign companies, such as Huawei and ZTE, violating our national security. This security risk is directly related, in part, to our C-Band. Ajit Pai's proposal is to give away, for free, total control of our C-Band to a foreign entity to do as they like.


Due to Senator Kennedy's spotlight on this matter, Ajit announced that the C-Band Spectrum would be held at public auction. He mentioned fast tracking it. That is a bad idea for several reasons.


5G has a lot of health implications and risks to our national security. The United States is not in a hurry to expose ourselves to highly toxic 5G waves without better understanding the risks as to properly weigh the pros and cons.


The only way to avoid informing the citizens is by 'fast tracking' the process so it becomes too late to say no. 5G is very sensitive and must remain close to the source. That means it will need to be everywhere and near all homes to function properly. It is known to cause cancer and can kill people at high frequencies.


If the system were hacked, or in the wrong hands, it could wipe out as many people as the hackers had access to by way of the range. That is not the kind of thing we want 'fast tracked'.


Not all Chinese (or enemy companies) look like or sound like enemy companies. How do we know who, what entity or what country is behind 'The C-Span Alliance'? How do we know they would work in our best interest? We don't. I am not saying we should ever consider selling it in such a manner. I'm questioning why Ajit Pai thinks this is a good approach. I'm questioning his motives.


If this is a Pay-For-Play deal then Pai would want to close the deal as soon as possible for his own personal gain. He is a government employee. He is not allowed to take kickbacks or bribes. Pay-for-Play scenarios are illegal.


The government exists to protect the people, not to steal from them.


Enough is enough.
