Dear Mr. Patrick:

At 18:56, 23 September 2006 on, the lead-off article on Wikipedia's USAA looked like this (pdf version).

(The difficulty of reproducing wiki-html makes the graphic reproduction of what was written necessary: links to the actual pages and pdf copies are provided).



At 18:59, 23 September 2006 , Wikipedia's Gwernol (also perhaps) performed a workman-like job of wikifying and editing the lead-off article: as follows (pdf version);


(The citations Gwernol asked for are located in Chapter 1 of USAA - Life Story of a Business Cooperative and Chapter 1 of USAA - A Tradition of Service. More generally, anything that there is to be known about unincorporated reciprocal inter-insurance exchanges can be found in Dennis Reinmuth's book The Regulation of Reciprocal Insurance Exchanges.)

At 20:06, 23 September 2006, under color of Wikipedia policy, a USAA rent-a-shill, Swizzlez reverted the lead-off article to his version, as follows (pdf version):


Swizzlez, who upon information and belief is actually Duane Divich, seeks to suppress these three very important and inconvenient facts about USAA:

  1. The Reciprocal Interinsurance Exchange, United Services Automobile Association, is an unincorporated entity: it is not a corporation.
  2. The USAA Group which also purports to be a member-owned Fortune 500 Corporation is actually an unincorporated entity owned and controllled by one Robert G. Davis who refuses to tell his "membership" the even elemental facts about his salary.
  3. A law suit in progress, True v United Services Automobile Association, if the plaintiff prevails, will bring about the immediate collapse of United Services Automobile Association.

That is why Swizzlez, aka Duane Divich, is systematically reverting edits which deal with these three issues. Swizzlez is not alone.

Swizzlez acts for Robert G. Davis:




But, as it made clear on this page, Swizzlez also acts as if he speaks with the full force and authority of Jimbo Wales, the founder of Wikipedia: and if true, that could be a very serious problem.


and

The misson of Robert G. Davis' rent-a-shills is to suppress information about the vicious litigation Robert G. Davis prosecutes against his "members" and employees:

Some of the pages these rent-a-shills have tampered with are:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USAA
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:USAA

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:USAA/Archive09
Archive08 (the USAA law department compelled wikipedia.org to delete this archive)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:USAA/Archive07
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:USAA/Archive06
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:USAA/Archive05
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:USAA/Archive04
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:USAA/Archive03
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:USAA/Archive02
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:USAA/Archive01

What is notable about this group of fine upstanding wikipedians is that while they have ganged up on Robert J. Koenig, never tiring of naming him again and again: not one of them has ever identified himself/herself and stated his/her interest in the matter.

To the extent that Robert J. Koenig may have written anything about this matter (and Koenig is neither the exclusive nor the exhaustive author of all that that is critical of Robert G. Davis and USAA) - he is well identified and his interests in the matter are very very clear.

Case law is clear on persons who ride in the dark, incognito: those who ride at night wearing the white hood and burning crosses to frighten those who challenge their community of values should consider these Federal laws.


  • 18 USC § 1951 [Hobbs Act]
    18 USC § 241 [Conspiracy Against Rights]
    18 USC § 242 [Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law]
    18 USC § 245 [Federally Protected Activities]

The Wikimedia Foundation should consider those laws as well.

special note on BirgitteSB: BirgitteSB's blocking uploading of important public documents is reminiscent of Nazi and hard-line Communist censors. What is fascinating and interesting about BrgitteSB is that this person believes that he/she has the right to determine what the public and USAA subscribers will be allowed to read about United Services Automobile Association. Any documents which involve the True v USAA lawsuit or which provide the documentary evidence that USAA is unincorporated will be struck down by BirgitteSB. Note that BrgitteSB, like every other Robert G. Davis rent-a-shill on this page, travels incognito, wearing a white hood, like a Mufti.

Wikipedia administrators (purported and otherwise) who also seem to be USAA shills.
