ASBL 37 Lloyd Chapman, The White Van Story

Lloyd has sued many agencies of the federal government, mostly the Pentagon, since 1989, winning 100+ legal battles, exposing fraud and corruption in federal contracting.

They don’t like that. And they want you to stop. Often, they’ll fabricate a federal case against you. “That’s a common thing.” To ruin your life. Lloyd has had a lot of things happen to him.

Around 2010, a white van parked near Lloyd’s office, day after day, disturbing the staff, feeling he may have been a peeping Tom. So, they got the license plate number, and a cop friend looked it up. It belonged to Federal Express.

So, Lloyd called Federal Express and explained the situation. They said, “We don’t have unmarked vehicles. All of ours are marked Federal Express. So that’s not one of ours.”

Lloyd happened to go to Washington, to the Spy Museum, and on a wall was a series of pictures of what looked like a CIA swat team leaving a van to do a mission. It was a Federal Express van.

So, back at the office, the white van eventually re-appeared across the street. They got the license plate and again, the cop friend said it’s Federal Express. So, Lloyd called them again and got the same lady. He told her that the van was back, but since it didn’t belong to them – right? – he said he was going to drag the driver out and call the police.

The van never returned.

Was the van using a Stingray, a device to download everything on your Wi-Fi, to capture data from the American Small Business League?

Then Lloyd met a man who had flown with the Flying Tigers, which had been purchased by Federal Express. When Lloyd told him the white van story, the man said that all federal surveillance vehicles are registered to Federal Express. That makes sense. On secret missions, would CIA or FBI vehicles, if captured, want to be discovered as CIA or FBI vehicles? No. Better to be registered to Federal Express.

Then the man said that FedEx is like an arm of the government, with a larger intelligence operation than most federal agencies. Bruce (co-host) mentioned that the Flying Tigers worked with or were part of the Office of Strategic Services, the forerunner of the CIA, and that Fred Smith, FedEx founder, was a member of Skull and Bones, the secret society at Yale University.

“Not every member of Skull and Bones goes onto a career in intelligence or helps their friends in intelligence,” but it’s quite the coincidence, if that’s what it is.

Lloyd confronted other “intimidators” and told more stories.

In 2001, Lloyd exposed the fact that Fortune 500 firms were getting most of the contracts meant for small businesses.

People don’t know that the Small Business Act of 1953 is the largest economic stimulus planned ever passed by Congress for the American people. It’s designed to create jobs and channel federal spending to the middle class.

Two to three hundred billion dollars would go to small businesses, and they would create millions of new jobs, if they got the contracts to which they are entitled. Unfortunately, those contracts go to big businesses instead.

The American Small Business League (www.ASBL.com) is working to end the diversion of federal small business contracts to big businesses. Our www.DontCheatWomen.com project seeks economic and political fairness for women.

Raising to 15% the federal contract dollars that must go to women-owned small businesses is a great first step. Men hold more political offices and have more political influence simply because they earn and save more than women. That must change.
