Holograms, Child Exploitation & the Media Crime Syndicate

What do CBS, LimeWire, Harvey Weinstein, and the estate of Michael Jackson have in common?

One man: David Boies.


The Web of Control

Boies, now 84, is heralded as one of America’s most influential litigators. But behind his accolades lies a dark empire of legal manipulation, human rights abuse, and industrial-scale coverups.

Boies shielded Weinstein. Protected Epstein’s allies. And more disturbingly, played a central role in covering up the distribution of over 67,000 files of child sexual abuse material—distributed via LimeWire, a file-sharing program promoted and distributed by CBS Interactive.

Internal emails, preserved by whistleblowers and archived on the Wayback Machine, show how Media Defender—a CBS-funded entity—deliberately seeded torrent files containing CSAM, then used the chaos to falsely accuse innovators like Alki David of piracy and misconduct.

27 Pages of Text messages exonerating Alki David.
