I have been forced to post the following comment on this thread on your website - https://theintercept.com/2016/11/12/dissecting-a-trump-presidency/?comments=1#comments

"A commenter here Mona, has been maliciously and falsely defaming me. To read why, please read this thread https://theintercept.com/2016/08/10/vindication-for-baltimore-police-critics-but-no-action/

Everything she says about me is false.  I have decided not to engage with her. But I will be complaining to the Intercept editorial team and to US authorities about her attacks on me." 

Please read this thread. This woman calling herself Mona who claims to be friends with Glenn Greenwald is maliciously and falsely defaming me on your website and smearing me because I am a GE whistleblower. 

Why are you permitting this?

General Electric Company whistleblower

Hello Intercept editors, journalists and staff, 

I want to know if the Intercept will do a story on my whistleblower expose of GE corruption and fraud in India. 

For a start, look at this. Top GE lawyers violated a GE board resolution and committed a fraud against General Electric Company itself in an obstruction of justice conspiracy. 

My blog at http://geimpersonationfraud.blogspot.in/ describes and explains how GE effectively evaded the summons issued by the Delhi High Court and how Bracket Denniston, Alex Dimitrief, Brad Berenson, and Jeffrey Eglash the top 4 lawyers at GE, issued fraudulent authority docs violating GE's own board resolution so that an employee of GE's Indian subsidiary could "impersonate" as General Electric Company's authorized signatory before the Delhi High Court in my case against GE.

This is a very serious matter and a violation of US law and Dimitrief and Berenson should lose their jobs for this and get disbarred. Criminal charges for obstruction of justice would lie. This amounts to fraud and criminal impersonation. It is a fraud on General Electric Company itself. Someone impersonated as General Electric Company's authorized signatory before a court.

A high level executive/ lawyer of GE would otherwise have had to file affidavits before the Delhi High Court.

The GE India employee K Radhakrishnan was used to file false affidavits as part of the cover-up. I guess Dimitrief and Eglash did not want to commit perjury.themselves.

Also, it appears as if my entire litigation was outsourced by GE. The intent was to conceal my litigation records from GE. GE will not have the full court record of this litigation.

I have posted the fraudulent "authority documents" on this blog so anyone can read them.

This is where one must start to logically understand the fraud and corruption charges I have leveled against GE in India.

See the rest of my comments at https://theintercept.com/2016/08/10/vindication-for-baltimore-police-critics-but-no-action/?comments=1#comments and on my blogs which are mentioned below. 

So  does the Intercept want to do a story on this?

Seema Sapra 

"The comment 

"Damn it. This article isn't about drones! Where the hell am I going to post an opinionated rant?" 

is not by me. Someone else has used "Seema Sapra" which is my real name and which I have been using to comment under. 

"This is why the migrant boats have been sinking." This is my comment. 

Whoever used my name to comment, I request you to not do that. I am a General Electric Company whistle-blower in India and impersonating me online is not just plain fun but can be misused."

Charlotte and everyone else, all my whistle-blower information about GE and including internal GE docs are in the public domain. Its all part of a public court record. 

I think Travis censored my comments because they exposed GE corruption. Other readers deserved to read them and wanted to. I am very disappointed. 

I have a story worth telling and am looking for courageous journalists who are ready to tell it. 

Just to show the scale of my whistleblower complaints against GE, please see below. This is huge.

Hi Seema

Thank you for your email and for your interest in The Intercept. Travis is correct in advising you how to share sensitive information not already in the public domain, and he was right to remove unrelated comments from article comments sections to make it easier for other commenters to follow the thread.

Thanks and best,

Hi Seema,

I've copied your comment below. As for your story, your best bet would be to reach out to Charlotte Greensit, our managing editor. However, if you would like to share sensitive information, please follow the instructions in this article: https://theintercept.com/2015/01/28/how-to-leak-to-the-intercept/

My blog at http://gemarhowracorruptionpart2.blogspot.in/ describes how while working as in-house counsel for GE Transportation in India, I found out that General Electric executives corruptly obtained advice and assistance from a Railways Ministry official/ adviser Shakeel Ahmed during GE's bid for the Indian Railway's diesel locomotive factory Project in 2008-2009 and that GE Transportation's US counsel James Winget was aware of this.

In June 2010 while working for GE, I was on a phone-call with GE's Steve Seip and James (Jamie) Winget towards the end of June 2010. This phone-call was to discuss certain changes that I had suggested to GE's technical prequalification application documents for the 2010 Marhowra tender that were under preparation. Steve Seip initially opposed the changes proposed and his only reason was that the documents prepared by him were based upon the precedent of the documents that had been submitted by General Electric for Marhowra tender in 2008. I in my capacity as Legal Counsel for GE Transportation in India disagreed with the draft documents prepared by Steve Seip and pressed for certain modifications to these documents based upon my interpretation of the bid documents. After some discussion on this phone-call, I was able to convince James Winget about my suggestions and it was agreed that my suggestions would be incorporated in the technical bid application to be submitted by General Electric.

Steve Seip from General Electric then told James Winget and me on this conference call that the Marhowra bid application that was submitted by General Electric to the Indian Railway Ministry in 2008 had been vetted by Shakeel Ahmed, then a senior Government of India public official in the Railway Ministry. Steve Seip described the procedure followed for this vetting in detail. He stated that each document contained in GE's 2008 Marhowra bid application was prepared and then first sent to Shakeel Ahmed in the Indian Railway Ministry for his approval and was included in General Electric's bid application only after such approval. This bid application vetted by Shakeel Ahmed from the Indian Railway Ministry was then submitted by General Electric to the Indian Railway Ministry.

This kind of consultation with and assistance from Shakeel Ahmed, a Railway Ministry official, who was directly involved in the tender process for the Railway Ministry was a "corrupt" and "undesirable practice" defined as such under the bid documents and rendered GE for disqualification and blacklisting.

An investigation into this will recover documentary evidence from General Electric confirming that Railway Ministry official Shakeel Ahmed vetted General Electric's bid application for the Marhowra Project before it was submitted to the Railway Ministry in 2008. A detailed investigation and the examination of General Electric executives and lawyers (including Prat Kumar (now ex-GE and Boeing India CEO), Ash Nainar, Steve Seip and James Winget) by investigating authorities will provide additional details and evidence of these corrupt dealings and will also provide evidence of bribes paid by General Electric to Shakeel Ahmed in lieu of his help and evidence of how these bribes were paid.

GE's corrupt dealings with Shakeel Ahmed in 2008-2009 are also mentioned in the an internal General Electric email dated July 12, 2010 sent by Prat (Pratyush Kumar) to a number of persons in GE including me.

This email was sent by Mr. Pratyush Kumar on July 12, 2010 to James Gerson, Steve Seip, Kamal Shivpuri, Joanne Kleinhanz, Gina Trombley, Robert Parisi, Ashfaq Nainar, Ramesh Mathur, Kevin Randall, James Winget, Randy Biletnikoff, Christopher Morgen, Michael Lafferty, Paul Zeigler, Alan Hamilton, Vageesh Patil, Deepak Adlakha, Puneet Mahajan, Alpna Khera, Atulya Dubere, Amol Nagar, Praveena Yagnambhat, Ed Hall, Gaurav Negi, Ashish Malhotra, Himali Arora (all from GE) and to me. This email was copied to Lorenzo Simonelli, David Tucker, Brett BeGole, Russell Stokes, Monish Patolawala, Joel Berdine, Tara Plimpton, Eric Ducharme, John Flannery, Tammy Gromacki, Alexander Artman, Karan Bhatia and Richard Herold (all from GE).

A copy of this email titled "Draft Workplan for D-Loco India Bid" is part of the court documents in Writ Petition Civil No. 1280/ 2012 filed before the Delhi High Court. Pages 222-228 of the Delhi High Court record in this case containing a copy of this internal General Electric email can be accessed athttps://docs.google.com/file/d/0BzdLbTmYqfPvM2FDTjdnVkllSjg/edit?usp=drive_web

The second page of the attachment to this email titled " "India D-Loco Update 12 Jul 10 V2.ppt" contains a flowchart that is titled "D-loco Process Forward" with the words "Expected timeline" under it. The second box in this flowchart is for March 23, 2010 and it states "issue new RFQ". Under this box are two bullet points. The first reads "No focal point in mechanical: Missing Shakeel". The second reads: "Use momentum of E-loco to push".

This email and attachment are part of the public court record in my Delhi High Court case against GE and GE cannot object to its publication.

This complaint was part of my corruption case against GE in the Delhi High Court. GE sabotaged that case while I was targeted for three years and eventually it was wrongly dismissed in 2015. And again this complaint was not examined by the Judges who dismissed my case and is not even mentioned in the judgment.
GE has also not investigated this and has ignored it.
The Delhi High Court documentary record establishes my complaint.

Hi Travis, 

Thanks for your email. I wish the Intercept hadn't removed that comment. I realize it was off-topic, but then lots of people use your comments section to raise issues which are not on the actual subject of the article. My comment about GE corruption was part of a whistle-blower expose, and investigating corruption and whistle-blower retaliation are part of your site's mission. And my comment violated no laws as the material contained in it and linked to are all part of a public court record which GE cannot prevent publication of. The Intercept should not censor such whistle-blower comments. 

I also wonder if you retain a copy of my deleted comment and if you could email it to me. I omitted to save a copy. 

Also, sure I would like to discuss the Intercept covering my story about corruption at GE and my story as a GE whistle blower. Should I contact Glenn Greenwald and Jeremy Scahill? Should I use the email addresses for them on the Intercept website?

Best,

Hi Seema,

I saw your comment complaining about a comment of yours being removed. I wanted to take a moment to let you know our reasoning. We do our best to keep our comment sections on topic. You have posted many comments that respond directly to articles, or to other commenters. However, your comment regarding corruption at GE had nothing to do with the article, which was about policing in Baltimore and beyond.

We really appreciate your contributions to our commenting community so I hope this doesn't deter you from participating in the future. But we ask that you please keep the conversation to the topic at hand.

I understand that his GE story is very important to you, so I would suggest, if you would like more exposure for your story about corruption at GE, reaching out to one of our editors who might be interested in covering the story. I am happy to pass along their contact info if you would be interested.

Best,

Travis
