Alabama Power CEO Jeff Peoples promised employees they would receive "sunshine and transparency" from him. But evidence suggests that promise did not hold up very long, according to a report at banbalch.com, which operates under the CDLU public charity and advocacy group.
Writes K.B. Forbes, CEO of the CDLU, under the headline "Use of Fear, Threat of Death: Alabama Power CEO Jeff Peoples Approved Terrorizing Children and Hid Payment as “Transportation Organization Management”:
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.
Peoples, as Executive Vice President of Employee and Customer Services at Alabama Power, hid additional payments to Matrix, LLC, the obscure political consulting firm that allegedly engaged in nefarious if not criminal misconduct and other entities tied to Matrix’s founder, Joe Perkins, by issuing vague “extra work authorizations.”
As we pointed out in December, shortly after ex-Alabama Power Chairman and CEO Mark A. Crosswhite resigned in disgrace, Peoples signed off on an “extra work authorization” in 2018 paying Perkins an additional mid-five figures on top of the secret multi-million-dollar annual contracts the firm and its founder, Perkins, received.
Now, today, we publish that work authorization in its entirety. (See document above.)
The document reflects a payment of $39,300, and Forbes shines light on that figure:
And what was the $39,300 allegedly for?
For“transportation organization management” according to the document, but a blatant lie, insiders confirm.
The reality is the extra work authorization was to target and terrorize the young children of Burt Newsome.
Newsome, an attorney who represents banks and financial institutions, was stunned when his wife and four young children were sent a threatening package tied to the “extra work authorization.”
As we wrote in August of 2018:
But now come the real sick idiots who sent the Newsome family a threatening package:
Five pieces of luggage and numerous clothing outfits.
The message was crystal clear: get ready to pack and leave town.
Were they threatening the family? The father, Burt Newsome? Was he going to be injured, killed or murdered? Or were the wife and children going to “disappear” on a permanent vacation?
The extra work authorization was OK'd on August 3, 2018 and the incident against the Newsome family happened four days later on August 7, 2018 according to the police report.
A stolen credit card obtained from the break in of Newsome’s wife's car a few days earlier was used in the purchase of the travel bags and outfits. Use of a stolen credit card is a felony.
Perhaps all of this helps explain the lack of trust employees have in Peoples, according to a press report. Writes Forbes:
As Donald Watkins.com reported yesterday:
Alabama Power Company employees are very uncomfortable with Jeff Peoples, but they are meeting his leadership demands. After all, Peoples is their new CEO.
However, top Alabama Power employees have been documenting Peoples’ demands to cover themselves in the event things at the company blowup because they know that Jeff Peoples funded all the Joe Perkins/Matrix “dirty tricks” projects, with absolutely no accountability.
Perkins’ Southern Company-related work assignments are the subject of multiple media and law enforcement investigations in multiple states. Perkins handwritten notes have also implicated Southern Company in a massive $27 billion, multi-year accounting fraud scheme.
And the massive, multi-year accounting fraud scheme is evident in these obscure “extra work authorizations” used to pay for insidious, nefarious, if not criminal misconduct, and allegedly including identity theft, robbery, retaliation against an informant, use of a stolen credit card, use of fear, threat of murder, threat of bodily injury or death, invasion of privacy, intrusion of seclusion and much, much more.
And these Southern Company executives cannot foresee a criminal RICO case right before their eyes?
Maybe Joe Perkins is barking at Peoples like he barked at Crosswhite before Crosswhite’s sudden but expected demise.
Southern Company must terminate Joe Perkins, Jeff Peoples, Balch & Bingham and all the elements involved in the criminal RICO enterprise.
Our children deserve it.
