The Man Who Conned the Pentagon

 I'm a child of the 80's, so growing up as a teen in the 90s, I recall a popular game, "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?"  Well, today's game is, "Who in the World is Dennis Montgomery?"

This picture popped up in my phone memories from last year and made me miss my long braid.  I’m guessing this time next year my hair will be grown out again. However, I’m using this picture because it either looks like I’m about to reveal some hard truths or bust out the robot.  You decide.  It’s me solo hiking in Golden, Colorado…

Rewind to 2020, not too long ago in America's history, a lot happened.  A stolen election, a concocted story of an insurrection (which was the card the government played to deny people exercising their first amendment rights to Due Process), and a lot of talk about Dominion voting machines - software that allegedly somehow flipped election results overnight.  Everyone who believes in science knows that the outcome was not statistically feasible.  But, what really happened?

Some of the most outspoken "front runners" tried relentlessly to spread truth about the very orchestrated stolen election enabled by a super computer called "The Hammer." The Hammer used software called, "the scorecard" to flip or steal or flip votes from Trump.  Mike Lindell and Sidney Powell, to name a few staunch conservators, were the inconvenient and hated truth tellers.  Both have been targeted without mercy and with unholy liberal terror for their conviction.  First Amendment anybody?  The system has almost destroyed both of them.  

However, at the end of it all, with reluctantly released videos (thanks to Tucker Carlson showing the guards opening the doors and ushering people in COUPLED with Nancy Pelosi's documentary-film-making daughter, born with a silver spoon in her mouth, a "fortunate daughter," there ready with all her cameras) how convenient was that?  After a subsequently televised kangaroo court, and no real investigation into the matter, Chris Krebs, the Director of Cyber Security and Infrastructure Security Agency, summed up the entire "stolen election" as a big hoax.  If anyone spoke about it afterwards, he or she was called names like "conspiracy theorist" or "tin hat right wing nut job."  And, guess what?  It works, MOST people will run away and stop engagement once they're called an ugly polarizing pejorative name.

Both Mike Lindell and Sidney Powell admitted to getting their information from one source - his name is Dennis Montgomery.  Who the heck is Dennis Montgomery?  It might surprise you that he has a long history with the federal government.  For example, do you remember prior to the 2020 election, the Trump Tower wiretapping allegations?  Dennis Montgomery came forward in 2017 claiming that he had proof that the federal government was systematically surveilling prominent Americans like Donald Trump.  Montgomery sued James Comey, then FBI Director, for an alleged cover-up of the wiretapping; however, the lawsuit was dismissed in 2018.

Here is Montgomery’s website where he avows to prove basically what Snowden already has proven and now lives in hiding because of: https://dennismontgomery.com/

Flip back a few years prior to 2014 when the Phoenix New Times uncovered that Sheriff Joe Arpaio of the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office hired Dennis Montgomery as a confidential informant.  Montgomery, who was employed by the CIA, claimed to have information proving a conspiracy against the sheriff between a federal judge named G. Murray Snow and the U.S. Department of Justice regarding a racial profiling lawsuit that had been filed against the county.  Eventually, the supposed information regarding any conspiracy was regarded as "junk."

So, now we're seeing Dennis Montgomery as 0-3 in his allegations about nefarious government activity and the officials involved.  Let's go back a little further.  In 2006, Montgomery accused Jim Gibbons of accepting bribes in order to give Montgomery's software company an unfair advantage on government bids to secure contracts for terrorist software.  So you can start to see that Montgomery is not gaining anything from his whistleblowing.

So, now we're back to the beginning of Dennis Montgomery's claim to fame.  Montgomery got his start in 1998 as a cofounder for eTreppid Technologies.  He then founded Bixware in 2006, which made video compressor and noise filtering software for the gaming, gambling, and casino industries.  In 2003, the Pentagon awarded Dennis Montgomery $30 MILLION after he claimed (not tested, evaluated, or substantiated) that he had secret decoder software that could crack secret al-Qaeda messages hidden in Al Jezeera broadcasts.  He also claimed that his software could identify terrorists from predator drone videos with one percent accuracy.

By late 2003-04, Montgomery's analyses from his terrorist software led to "Code Orange" shut downs of airports.  The only issue?  He was fabricating it all!  He was bullshitting us!  He was a liar, a sociopath!  None of it was real, and the Pentagon paid $30 MILLION for his hoax.  By 2006, the FBI and U.S. Air Force Office of Special Investigations opened an economic espionage and theft of intellectual property investigation.  Montgomery's conning of the Pentagon has gone down as one of "the most dangerous and elaborate hoaxes in history."  In 2010, a Playboy investigative article actually coined Montgomery as "The Man Who Conned the Pentagon."

So here’s the question - since Montgomery is a sociopath capable of convincingly carrying forth such bold and elaborate lies and cons perpetrated against THE most secure and protected institution in the United States, wouldn’t he know other cons when he sees them?  Do you think Montgomery’s allegations should have been taken with more pretext, respect, and seriousness?  There's an old adage that states, “it takes one to know one.”  I guess we’ll never know, especially when people who tried to fight for the truth were cancelled, imprisoned with no due process to rot in a prison cell, or impeached, raided, and relentlessly witch hunted.

I hope you’ve enjoyed this “Who the Heck is Dennis Montgomery” game.  Have you been conned by a sociopath?  I’ve been told that some of the most skilled psychoanalysts can be fooled by a sociopath.  I also learned that the defining difference between a psychopath and sociopath is nature versus nurture.  A psychopath is born and a sociopath is made.  In other words, a psychopath is born natural, but a sociopath is formed by his or her environment. Until next time…
