When the Deep State is exposed, it claims conspiracy theory - January 7, 2024

The late Robert David Steele warned us. But whenever the Deep State's evil is exposed, accusations of a conspiracy theory is always their first response. After Steele passed away, his wife filed a lawsuit against an agent for the shadow government who she claimed had defamed her late husband. In the end, a judge ruled in her favor.

Robert D. Steele (July 16, 1952 – August 28, 2021) was a case officer for the CIA, co-founder of the U.S. Marine Corps Intelligence Activity and founder of the Earth Intelligence Network.

Robert Steele's father was an executive for an oil company and spent the early years of his life in Asia and Latin America. He held a Bachelor of Arts in political science, a master's degree in international relations, and an AMP in public administration. He worked at the U.S. Embassy in El Salvador during the Salvadoran Civil War as a political officer. He then researched artificial intelligence and cognitive strategy.

Jason Goodman, a citizen of New York, owned, maintains and operates multiple internet and social media properties, including YouTube channels and a Twitter account. The name of Goodman's social media properties is/was "Crowdsource The Truth" (CSTT).

On June 13, 2017, Robert Steele participated in an interview in Oakton, Virginia, with an “agent” of CSTT, George Webb. During the interview, Steele discussed his views on 9/11, pedophilia and the purpose of #UNRIG. Goodman and another CSTT associate Patricia Negron live-streamed the interview, and Goodman published it to his YouTube channel. During the live stream, Goodman encouraged his viewers to donate to the #UNRIG Indiegogo campaign. That day, EIN received $9,827.01 in donations from 175 donors.

Steele planned to participate in another interview with Goodman and Negron on June 15, 2017. Steele (through EIN) ran an educational campaign called #UNRIG, with the stated purpose of communicating to all citizens the possibility of an ethical, legal, non-violent restoration of integrity to the United States Government.

On June 14, 2017, however, Goodman published a video containing false information about a potential dirty bomb aboard transoceanic container ship, Maersk Memphis. Goodman encouraged Steele's CSTT community to spring into action and alert the United States Coast Guard of the threat by calling the port authority.

The terminal at the Port of Charleston, South Carolina, was shut down because of Goodman's video, and the FBI subsequently opened an investigation into the false report. Consequently, Steele pulled out of the planned July 15 interview and sought to distance himself from Goodman.

In response, Goodman, acting in concert with two other internet personalities, Susan Holmes and Negron, began a social media smear campaign against Steele and EIN. Over many months, Goodman, Holmes, and Negron repeatedly accused Steele of “felony charity fraud,” “interstate wire fraud,” theft, lying, and “abusive behaviors,” and used Steele's name and image on doctored images, including CSTT merchandise.

Goodman's actions allegedly damaged Steele's and EIN's reputations and caused personal donations to EIN to decrease by approximately $29,000 per month. The plaintiffs assert that there was no basis in fact or law for any claim that Steele or EIN have committed felony charity fraud, that Steele and EIN have never been investigated for or charged with criminal fraud, and that Goodman has never reported Steele or EIN to the New York Attorney General or to any law enforcement agency or regulatory authority.

Following Steele's death on August 28, 2021, his wife Kathy Steele and EIN were the plaintiffs in a lawsuit against Jason Goodman. They sued the defendant Jason Goodman for defamation (Claim One), business conspiracy (Claim Two), and unauthorized use of Robert Steele's name and picture (Claim Three).

The Court found that the plaintiffs' had sufficiently pleaded claims for defamation and business conspiracy, and that Goodman's various denials and defenses as to Claims One and Two are not properly before the Court at that stage of the proceedings. Accordingly, the Court denied Goodman's motion as to those claims.

But the Court also found that the First Amendment protects Goodman's use of Steele's name and likeness for the purpose of creating parody images because he was a public figure. Accordingly, the Court granted Goodman's motion as to Claim Three.
