In recent months Carter Wrenn has been more interested in making attacks on Bill Randall than doing his homework. As a result he
embarrassed himself with a poor description of the Fair Tax as pointed out by Polifrog in
this thread.
Now Carter Wrenn has a
new line of attack and it appears "Bernie's friend", as Cater Wrenn refers to the individual who has been busy verifying Randall's MBA, has done quite the investigation of Randall this time around, but have Carter Wrenn and Bernie Reeves done
their due diligence?
According to Carter Wrenn:
Bill Randall says he has an MBA from National Louis University, but National Louis University says he doesn’t.
Wrenn's proof can be found
here.
But...
According to the National Student Clearinghouse web site's
terms and condition from which Carter Wrenn's proof originates:
FOR DEGREE AND HISTORICAL ENROLLMENT VERIFICATIONS
Individuals, employers, employment agencies, background screening firms, and similar organizations and entities that act on behalf of these organizations are eligible to request verification of specified degree and enrollment information through the Clearinghouse ("Requestors").
Acting as agent for educational institutions, the Clearinghouse agrees to verify an individual's degree and other educational achievements, including dates of attendance, in a post-secondary educational institution in accordance with this Agreement. In order to verify a subject's dates of attendance, degrees, and other educational achievements, the Requestor must certify that the student has applied for or received products, services or employment that depend upon verification of degree and/or enrollment.
Polifrog wonders just what products, services or employment is dependent upon Bill Randall possessing an MBA. We know those who hold a seat in congress are not
dependent on having an MBA to hold their seat, and a seat in congress is the
employment Bill Randall seeks. Just how were the requirements above met by "Bernie's friend" so that he could gain access to Randall's records?
According to Carter Wrenn, "Bernie's friend" is the recipient of his
proof from the National Student Clearinghouse. In that reply from the National Student Clearinghouse "Bernie's friend", is named as Kent Clizbe (kent@cameronhalifax.com) and that it was he who requested Randall's MBA information from the National Student Clearinghouse.
Under what authority did Kent Clizbe request this information? Polifrog doubts the existence of such authority in this instance and,in fact believes it likely that Kent Clizbe abused his privileges as a "
Requestor".
Simply put, the above conditions that were agreed to by Clizbe for retrieving Randall's school records from the National Student Clearinghouse were probably not met by Clizbe.
Polifrog also was curious if the odd name "Clizbe" was real. As it turns out, the name is real, and the fact that it is odd is convenient. With the name and e-mail address supplied by Carter Wrenn, Polifrog commenced with some mild google-fu...
This is Kent Clizbe:
On
this page the name and e-mail (bottom) match those on the National Student Clearinghouse e-mail provided by Carter Wrenn. Also provided on the page is a photo and a short biography. He has been or is a head-hunter for Cameron Halifax Associates. This is not a surprise considering the information he handed over to the Reeves campaign.
Clizbe is employed by or owns Cameron Halifax. The first thing listed on
Cameron Halifax's website is their commitment to:
The highest level of service. Utmost confidentiality.
Apparently this "utmost confidentiality" does not apply to individuals named Bill Randall or is it intended to cover the actions of Kent Clizbe. So, not only did Kent Clizbe not have authority to retrieve Randall's MBA information from the National Student Clearinghouse, but he violated Cameron Halifax Associates' confidentiality by passing it on to the Reeves campaign. For its part, the Reeves campaign seems to believe that laundering ill-gotten personal information through Kent Clizbe protects the campaign from the acquisition of improperly acquired personal information.
So there it is. The information flowed from the sullied hands of Kent Clizbe,
a self described "ex-CIA operations officer" with a history of working intelligence positions and, like Bernie Reeves, is
an author and
media friend, to the hands of Carter Wrenn and to what has become a political attack machine, the Reeves campaign. And why?
To attack a private citizen by the name of Bill Randall. Remember Joe the Plumber.
Polifrog hopes, though, this is not an example of governance by Bernie Reeves.
Finally, this is without question another embarrassment for Carter Wrenn.
