Understanding that the natural process that has transferred more arenas every year to open source systems, he decided to apply his own technological advances to making that happen. Next Generation Internet could radically lower costs and increase choices to all people around the globe. With others, Boustred had the process of change well advanced by February 2001.
Russia's national legislature, the Duma, voted Feb. 6, 2001, to give InfoTelesys, the corporation Boustred and his associates were starting, the Mir Satellite, to be used for several of the applications that would include bringing excellence in education to people around the world. Children and adults would experience the impact of seeing the beauties of the Earth before them and so come together on many issues as had Russia's Cosmonauts with American Astronauts when they shared this same sight.
All of this would enrich the lives of ordinary people. But it would cost the Federal Reserve Bank, media conglomerates, communications companies, and those who trade in stock hundreds of billions of dollars. Those interests knew they were looking at the end of the line for their stream of income.
So InfoTelesys did not happen. Instead, on May 21, 2001, Steffan Tichatschke, a native of Eastern Europe, paid $50,000 as an investment in InfoTelesys. The company roster included an array of highly qualified software and hardware specialists drawn from many other high tech companies. Tichatschke lacked any of those skills but claimed he was eager to participate in a company that would do so much good for the world. The job given him was as personal assistant to InfoTelesys president, Clive Boustred.
The company poised to forever change banking, media, education, and communications for billions of individuals across the world would not happen. Boustred found himself mired in problems that had nothing to do with his profession.
Over the next seven years Boustred experienced attempts to murder him and shocking violations of procedure and law by the local judges, ultimately to be left struggling to hold onto his home. Slowly he began to study the politics and financial interests of those involved. Incredulous, he realized that the FED was a private corporation with questionable connections to those in power across the world, facts that are still disturbingly muddied in the minds of most Americans. He saw the common interests of those he had been challenging through his enterprises. He began to understand how powerful were the forces he had taken on as time after time the lawsuits he filed were ignored, those named as defendants failed to appear despite the overwhelming evidence of wrong doing. The default judgments his efforts achieved would be treated as if they had not happened.
Boustred would find that it is nearly impossible for anyone to believe that a divorce can be used to carry out a political agenda. At a glance it was an ugly divorce, nothing more. Attempts to refute that perception were dismissed as paranoid. The truth of any assertion is not relevant to whether it is believed. Fact is often more incredible than fiction. The minutely documented saga remains available on the site Boustred built to keep himself sane, Liberty for Life.
It is a logical truism often expounded by Sherlock Holmes that once you have eliminated what could not have happened you are left, no matter how unlikely, with the truth.
InfoTelesys was a threat. It was eliminated using the tools easily at hand by those in government at the behest of those whose profits would have suffered, the FED and their corporate associates.
The case of InfoTelesys and Clive Boustred, when examined, is not a divorce case; it was a political attack staged to create that perception.
Today, awareness that the system has become a weapon in the hands of those whose eye remains firmly on their own profits is rising rapidly. We can thank Bush, the Deceiver, for that. FOIA requests are rising every day. The respect afforded anyone involved with government or corporations is plummeting towards universal loathing.
And around the world a movement is beginning that is looking for the future men like Clive Boustred will make possible.

I thought there would be more to this op/ed but here goes; I have had the unfortunate experience of the Justise System twice in last 14 years take my money because they can. DUI's have become a big business for government. While the intentions may have been for the right reasons it is just plain ugly what they get out of you these days. Case in point, Hamilton County in Ohio. In 1994 I was charged for this offense and payed dearly up front and, surprisingly at the end of my license suspension to the tune of 500.00 to reinstate my privilage to have a driver license agian. Later this became cause for a class action suit filed by a lady PO'ed in Cleveland, Oh. Naturally she and the rest of us lost for the State double dipping us for this fee. It is suppose to be 250.00. Agian, and you can say he should have learned, I was pulled over simply for being in the wrong neighborhood in 2000 and barley had three beers but this was enough for the State to charge me yet agian with the lucritive DUI Business. In short the new reinstatement fee is now 640.00 plus you have to buy some sort of Liability Insurance too. Druck driving is a serious crime and people weaving and going in the wrong direction should be stopped but the powers that be have turned even this into a money making get your wallet out BUSINESS. This is a simple thing most people can relate too but shows you simply how Courts, Prisons, and the Fed Gov. can and will disinfranchise you from a normal life. By the way, I sold my car and take Mass Transit in protest and refuse to give in. At the present GASOLINE PRICES and the enviornmental issues plaging the planet it is good of me anyway.
