Feeling like a New Man?

It’s not just that “Neumann” so obviously sounds like “New Man,” it’s that you need to ask yourself “Who was he before he was new?”

In the case of Evan Neumann, is the answer “wanna-be Russkiy?”

May I introduce you to the man charged and later indicted as “Evan Neumann.” A man who, according to the U.S. Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, is a January 6 defendant who physically assaulted a police officer(s) with his fist and with a metal bicycle rack. He faces an outstanding arrest warrant for fourteen federal counts.

These days, you’ll allegedly find him in Belarus. Where he arrived after crossing the border, on foot, from Ukraine, through the swamps of Pripyat, near Chernobyl. Where he went after being in Italy, Switzerland, Germany, and Poland, after his departure from the San Francisco International Airport. Which he left from after being interviewed at that airport by the FBI “Special Surveillance Group.” Who was “observing” him at his home in Mill Valley, California and who followed him to the airport.

Mr. Neumann’s background is alluded to in the FBI “Statement of Facts” of March 23, 2021. The agent credits Mr. Neumann’s LinkedIn profile as factual. The FBI said it contained referenced by Mr. Neumann to his having “attended the Ukrainian Orange Revolution in 2004 and 2005.” The FBI claims Mr. Neumann was wearing “a scarf commemorating the Ukrainian Orange Revolution” at the Capitol on January 6.

I couldn’t find such a reference in Mr. Neumann’s LinkedIn page (still up as of this date), but I did uncover handbags and avalanches. California is where he was working, self-employed, designing women’s handbags, which would carry a 12-hour battery for plug-in charging and projection of artwork onto the surface of the bag (see AsleanVaugn.com or BeviniModena.com). Oh, and, concurrently, using “physics and math tricks” in “a new form of robotic avalanche control” (see AvyBlasters.com). Of course, anyone can write anything they’d like on a LinkedIn page and this one reads as though the author delights in taunting U.S. intelligence services.

Also on Mr. Neumann’s LinkedIn profile, I found his claims that he was the

co-founder of “an international dating service that specialized in matching California men with Ukrainian women using the internet for real-time and low-cost correspondence.”

That, he says, was 1994, in “Kiev, Ukraine.” His resume listing one prior was co-founder of a company in “Moscow,” specifically “A research and development company that attempted to pair a pulse detonation engine provided by the Zhyronovsky Power Energy Institute to a Tesla turbine which we researched, designed and built freehand.” (Spelling perhaps “Zhirinovsky,” Mr. Neumann?)

Mr. Neumann is being covered everywhere from PBS to Radio Free Europe to The Moscow Times, but no one seems to be asking about his nationality or whether he even is who he says he is. Western media is content to feed off a U.S. DOJ Press Release of December 10 plus the March 2022 “Indictment.”

Another aspect of his case the media is not covering? That as of March 11, 2022, Mr. Neumann’s case was pulled off the criminal docket of a federal judge and effectively ended.

PACER (the federal on-line system where one can read all criminal case materials) shows no attorney appearing on behalf of Mr. Neumann, who was not even charged until after he left the U.S. It shows no request by the U.S. DOJ to have Mr. Neumann extradited from any of the European countries or the Ukraine between February 2021 and, at least, August 2021. There’s simply this U.S. DOJ PR and an FBI most wanted page that Mr. Neumann is now in Belarus, a country without an extradition treaty with the U.S.

The scant paperwork filed by the U.S. DOJ in federal court includes one further point of interest, namely, a diagram with the specific pinpointed locations of Mr. Neumann outside and inside the Capitol building (“Statement of Facts,” p.14). A diagram with twenty-two dots that were supposedly obtained from Google for a telephone number (redacted in the document) pursuant to a search warrant. The FBI says the telephone number was not one authorized to be inside “the U.S. Capitol buildings or restricted areas of U.S. Capitol grounds on January 6, 2021.”

It is a fantastic display of technology (assuming it is true) that I have not seen in any other January 6 prosecution.

Mr. Neumann then, allegedly, recently showed up on Belarus state TV in an interview covered by media outlets around the globe. I tried clicking on multiple media hyperlinks, but video is not available or “not available in your country.” The hyperlinks are kaput.

According to ABC News, Mr. Neumann sold his house in Mill Valley, California, prior to his February 2021 departure abroad, for $1.3 million.

Mr. Neumann apparently has a criminal record from 2018 when he and his brother, Mark, walked past a National Guardsman to go to their mother’s (Debbie) house in Fountain Grove, following a wildfire in northern California. They were interviewed on camera and the spot included images of him in court. Mr. Neumann was pro se, representing himself in the case. He claimed in his defense that he was not given an order to leave the evacuation zone. In the ABC News interview, he said he viewed it as “his duty as an American” to fight the charge. “If we don’t take advantage of our rights, we lose them,” he said to the reporter.

In 2007, Mr. Neumann’s home was apparently raided by police and the DEA, confiscating homegrown marijuana.

In an article on PressDemocrat.com, it is represented that Mr. Neumann’s father, Claus, “grew up in East Prussia under the Hitler regime,” fleeing Russian soldiers in the final months of World War II. Claus was apparently accused of slander and treason against the East German state and spent time at Magdeburg prison, eventually immigrating to the U.S. Claus was the author of “Farewell Marienburg,” a memoir that includes “an interesting perspective into a boy’s youthful and naïve admiration of Hitler.”

One final point to add to this swirl of a plot. Mr. Neumann’s LinkedIn “About?” It says:

“Evan is a Luddite Technologist. He develops and uses (b)leading edge technology to preserve and protect culture and to confuse the boundaries between magic, science, fantasy and reality.”

You’ll note the next line: “His first computer program was a “War Games” text game on an Apple IIe around 1983.” Assuming the FBI is correct that Mr. Neumann is 49 years old (born June 22, 1972), he would have been age 10 in 1983. The reference is to a movie where Matthew Broderick’s character unwittingly pulls the U.S. to the brink of nuclear war with the U.S.S.R.

For those of you ladies who are interested in a man of mystery, Mr. Neumann claims to have a ham radio operator license and a private pilot license. He enjoys “vacuum and space simulator environment testing for CubeSats and satellite components.” A date may include OrbitingEden.com, a space simulator, accessible through your browser, no plug-ins required.

Mr. Neumann is “terrified of robotic warfare,” but watches “War Games,” “Terminator,” “Matrix” and “Borg.”

His eyes are blue, his hair is brown, and he stands 5’11” tall. He is a man most wanted – at least by the FBI.
