Mr. Tom Villars LIED to DOE Chicago Office-Office of Chief Counsel

A FOIA officer determines if requested emails and or documents are releasable, or not releasable.  When FOIA requested emails are approved to be released by a FOIA officer, then no individual, whether they are employed by Homeland Security or not, have a bag on their head or not, has the right to determine the emails are not releasable especially if they are granted “News Media Requester” status by the DOE. No ifs, ands, or buts.  Do you understand that Mr. Tom "Homeland Security" Villars, Mr. Joseph Murphy?

Mr. Tom Villars LIED in the email to the DOE Chicago Office-Office of Chief Counsel when he wrote "at a minimum we do publish all the results of all our FOIA request".  TV failed to mention Mr. Murphy and himself will make the final decision in which FOIA emails are released.  If anyone with a bag over their head wants to play dumb and don't know which emails I am referring to, read my blog dated March 5, 2011.  Mr. Murphy and Mr. Villars had in their possession (at least 6 months) those two emails which they decided not to release after a FOIA officer determined the emails were releasable.

Mimi,

The documents obtained will be shared with Joseph, John Woodward, and others who write articles for the site. While my role in this instance is more research assistant than editor I will from time to time write my own article if the documents fall into my area of specialization. Of course what happens with the documents we find with this FOIA request isn't yet known but at a minimum we do publish all the results of all our FOIA request. While this information is "theoretically" available to anyone, in almost all instances the release of this information is considered news by the people reading the sites.

Let me know if you need anything else.

Tom

Hello Tom,

Yes I spoke with Joseph Murphy who said he owned the sites you list in your e-mail below. I still need clarification from you as the requester as to how this will all work between you and Mr. Murphy and his sites. Do you intend to use the information in the e-mails you are requesting to draft news articles/stories for distribution on Mr. Murphy’s sites? Please let me know.

Dear Mr. J. Murphy; Mr. T. Villars,

As Manager of Public Affairs for ZENN Motor Company, I receive countless calls and e-mails from various stakeholders including media, investors and government agencies all citing‘Theeestory.com’ as a key source of information within the energy storage field. As a consequence of visiting your site, many of our retail and institutional investors have developed a keen sense for the multitude of applications EEStor’s technology, should they be successful in commercializing, as well as the dynamics of the marketplace it seeks to enter. The interviews with key players within the field provide context for any stakeholder, most often media, who are looking to broaden their story by understanding the principals involved.

I am no longer surprised by those stakeholders who credit you with helping them understand this very complex technology. You are providing a public service that benefits our organization by educating our stakeholder base. 

Thank you.

Best Regards,

Catherine ScrimgeourManager, Public Affairs

                Tom, 

                The media source for this inquiry would eventually be published through TheEEStory.com which concentrates on the Energy Storage story in the US.  We have published numerous articles including interviews with Dr. Cross at Penn State, John Miller and a short Q&A with Bill Joy.  The two associated websites generate ~5000 / visits per day.

                  We've worked with several public and gov’t sources to report on the emerging electric vehicle market.  As an example feel free to contact the PR person at Zenn Motor Company (Catherine Scrimgeour / 416-535-8395  ext. 201 /  cscrimgeour@ZENNcars.com)  to confirm we are indeed a media source.  If you require further references, please let me know and I’ll be happy to provide a list of other gov’t contacts and public company PR offices we have worked with in the past.

Tom Villars, theeescamstory.com is no media!  Brennan Joseph Murphy and you are nothing but an apologist and enabler of Dick Weir's LIES. Why didn't you in your email to Mr. Worsdale bring to his attention how the administrator of theeestory.com, baited, was on the "verge of threatening", and quoted out of context the Air Force Research Laboratory employee?  I will forward to Mr. Worsdale the Air Force Research Lab emails!

It's nice you added Catherine Scrimgeour into your email BS.  How much does scambag and you get paid by Zenn Motor Corp.?  
Connect the dots boys and girls.
Ops, I forgot to mention, Dick Weir has always been off by a month or two...right Mr. Smart man Villars, hahaha.
