Installment Four Preview
(Now with Audio!)
A little over a week ago, I was piecing together Installment Four, a damning indictment of CSULB Prez "King" Alexander and CSULB Provost Don Para and CSU administrators and all their false filings of California Form 700 in which they intentionally fail to disclose conflicts of interest and vast income in the form of cash, stock, gifts, travel, sports tickets, and perks from outside the University, given them precisely because they work at the University, given them to curry favor for certain companies and individuals and lobbyists.
So, when the CSU Board of Trustees holds those public meetings and decides to award absurdly high salaries to CSU Presidents, missed in the hysterical hoopla and angry screams from the public is the fact that the money coming directly from CSU is only a part of the compensation these Presidents and other administrators receive. Thanks to unreported income, someone like CSULB's Alexander supplements his already bloated President's salary with additional income -- outside income which, all by itself, is far in excess of what the highest paid Professor earns from the CSU, and yet you never hear about it.
But you will. The full Installment Four is coming shortly, chock full of documents.
In the meantime, what happened a little over a week ago is that fabled political reporter and blogger Tom Aswell from The Louisiana Voice -- louisianavoice.com -- got in touch with me to share information. The folks in Louisiana and at Louisiana State University (LSU) are up in arms over the impending arrival of Alexander, who was shoved down their throats against their will and without proper vetting of his credentials. The LSU Supervisors -- who hired Alexander despite unanimous Faculty Senate disapproval -- posted Alexander's Curriculum Vitae (CV) in order to defend the hiring, even though the hiring wasn't theirs either. It was corrupt Governor Bobby Jindal who brought in Alexander as "his boy", to cut spending by gutting curriculum and redefining degree programs, just like Alexander did at CSULB. That's the politics here and there.
But the King's CV galvanized me because I'd never seen it before. It's never been on-line at CSULB. Nor, as it turns out, was it vetted by the CSU Board of Trustees when Alexander was hired in late Fall 2005. When you read it, you'll know why. It's a lie, from top to bottom. Alexander is an imposter. Now I know why he was so reluctant to go after CSULB's imposter professors in 2008, and why he continues to cover up imposture at CSULB today. The details of that -- and all the docs -- will be coming in Installment Four. Stay tuned.
But what Tom turned me on to was the Oxford Round Table, a business operated by Alexander and his family for many years, and still in business today.
The business is a scam. It is a business in the business of manufacturing false credentials for its customers, while making money for the Alexanders. And this will be the lead chapter within Installment Four.
Tonight you get just a little preview taste of it, a few documents that don't add up. Okay, it's more dramatic than that. Way more dramatic. It's a hell of a teaser, actually. And it's embarrassing as hell for Alexander.
Tom reported the tip of this iceberg -- http://louisianavoice.com/2013/03/19/lsu-president-designate-alexander-runs-organization-that-capitalizes-on-oxford-university-name-despite-no-affiliation/ -- and I've now had more than a week to request and receive documents from Secretaries of State all over the country and agencies in England, to piece together what has proven to be a cobweb of mendacity and greed, all in the name of Alexander. I've even got handwriting analysis done on certain docs which prove up forgery, as well as one Alexander relative whose name has been magically (but not legally) altered to try to cover up illegality in State filings by making more illegal filings. It's appalling beyond belief. And stupid. Or maybe crazy brilliant. I mean, for decades they've gotten away with this disdain for rules and avoidance of oversight.
Until now.
Here's tonight's fun:
Remember "Where's Waldo"? In this web snapshot, tell us where the lies are! Look carefully. How many can you count? There's lots (to be revealed in Installment Four), but let's point out the most fun one. See the Contact Info for Oxford Round Table in the United States -- it's not merely an office, it's a Suite! In Long Beach, no less. Where King Alexander and his wife Shenette reside.
Oops! A "Suite" is nothing more than a box at a cheap postal service in a corner mini-mall? Indeed it is, Waldo! This is where King Alexander's wife Shenette picks up the mail for the world renowned Oxford Round Table, a business that actually has no actual office anywhere!
Folks, that was just the warm-up act. You won't even believe the way the Alexanders use "fronts" in the U.S. and U.K. to transship e-mails and phone calls. In fact, I dare you, go ahead and dial the U.K. phone number on the Contact Info snapshot. Guess what you get? It's a voicemail message from Shenette! Okay, we've dialed it for you, and here it is:
Now let's examine the below self-definition by the Oxford Round Table that they are "chartered in England and Wales". This screenshot of the Oxford Round Table website was taken on April 21, 2013, because we are leaving no room for the Alexanders to claim that it is not current.
Okay, sounds great, right? In fact, see where it has a link to their "Memorandum and Articles of Association"? Here's where that link leads:
Fantastic! In 2008 the Oxford Round Table got their asses chartered/incorporated in the UK, even though they'd been in business for "two decades" while pretending to be English. Better late than never, right? In fact, they went out and got chartered after critical news articles appeared. They also sued one of their critics for defamation (she was a Professor at Oxford University who was not happy that the Alexanders were falsely representing any tie to or endorsement from Oxford University), but the wise Judge in Kentucky threw their suit out of court.
MEANWHILE, try never to believe whatever it is the Alexanders tell you, even now, even when they have the chutzpah to put it on their website. See, there is this itty bitty little problem with the claim by the Alexander family that their Oxford Round Table is today chartered and operating in England. Check out this puppy from England's Official Record through their Government Business Portal:
So, as Jon Stewart would say, let me get this straight. The Alexander family chartered/incorporated the Oxford Round Table in England as of July 2008. Then they went DORMANT the following July, as of the time their first annual report was due. AND THEN THEY DISSOLVED THE COMPANY IN 2011!
SO EVEN THOUGH THE OXFORD ROUNDTABLE WEBSITE SAYS RIGHT NOW THAT THEY ARE CHARTERED IN ENGLAND, AND THEY GIVE YOU A DOCUMENT LINK TO PROVE IT, THEY ARE NOT! THEY HAVE NO FUCKING CORPORATION IN ENGLAND!
The Alexander family and the Oxford Round Table have no tie to Oxford (other then renting space there for their meetings), and they have no business entity in England.
And there you have my preview of Installment Four.

DeleteWhy are CHs 5 and 6 up before 4 is complete? I want it all! Give it to me, baby. Good and hard. You know I want it.
ReplyDeleteAnd you're gonna get it. Just like you like it. But do some stretches first, there's a lot to handle.
DeleteI remember getting several invitations from the Oxford Round Table over the years. The first time was around 2005, and the envelope impressed me. It has a full color Oxford coat of arms on it for one thing. But on opening it, the invitation was obviously a scam and I tossed it in the recycle bin. Subsequent ones I did not even open. After a few years the invitations stopped coming. Several profs at LSU were so proud of their attendance at an ORT that they made sure it was reported in the papers -- Ivor von Heerden (didn't stop him from getting let go for his Katrina activism, for which the AAUP has now censured LSU), Rita Culross, Carole Jurkiewicz, et al. They tend to be people in professional rather than scholarly programs -- business, education, engineering, etc. Our current Mayor, Kip Holden, also brags about having been invited to ORT, although not sure he actually went. I don't want to sound critical of their decisions to fall for the ORT scam. We all make poor decisions sometimes. It simply reflects the academic culture and that some have identified it as easy pickings, full of socially naive people with money to spend.
ReplyDeleteActually, the coat of arms on Oxford Round Table junk mail is not the coat of arms of Oxford University. The Alexanders use a much more colorful, fancy coat of arms than Oxford does. I don't know anything about heraldry but sure would be interest in an expert analysis of the crest on the ORT website. I looked up the Alexander family crest, and that looks nothing like the ORT one. So what's it mean? Or is it just a pastiche that means nothing but is intended to rope in marks?
