A group of 200 US CEOs including those of Amazon, Apple, Boeing, and many other firms deeply engaged in USG work have signed a Pantsuit Pledge openly declaring that they must pursue social and political goals along with profits (archived). The group did not put forth any concrete goal, simply preferring to defer to "diversity and inclusion" as their aim.

This comes roughly a week after Overstock.com CEO Patrick Byrne issued a corporate press release confirming he was abused and mislead by the US FBI in a case he does not wish to comment on further (archived). The report Byrne confirmed was one declaring the US FBI and Department of "Justice" ignored exculpatory evidence against weapons rights activist Maria Butina (archived).
