Karl Walter Miller (born September 10, 1965), more commonly known as K.W. Miller, is an American energy analyst and conservative commentator.
Biography[edit]
Miller attended the Catholic University of America, earning an undergraduate degree in 1992. He then earned a graduate degree from the UNC Kenan-Flagler Business School in 1998.[1] He began his career on Wall Street during the 1980s with a background in banking, commodities trading, and asset risk management.[2][3][4]
In 1991, he became an Enforcement Division investigator and a derivatives analyst at the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission before leaving and becoming a proprietary trader and portfolio manager at JPMorgan Chase in 1992. He then became a director at Enron from 1994 to 1997, then a managing director at El Paso Energy from 1999 to 2000, then a senior vice president at PG&E from 2001 to 2002.[5]
In 2002, he became a partner of Miller McConville Christen Hutchison & Waffel LLC, or MMC.[6][7] In 2003, MMC formed an alliance with Wood Group Power to "control, operate, and maintain a portfolio of power assets in North America,"[8][9] and moved to Wilmington, North Carolina.[10] That same year, MMC made a bid for Drax Power Station, but was beaten by International Power.[11][12] In 2008, he became the chairman of Newco Energy Acquisition Holdings LLC (NEAH).[13]
In September 2009, Miller was granted permission to dismiss the suit brought by MMC after the federal court sided with him. He filed a federal action suit against the company for fraud, extortion, defamation and intentional infliction of severe emotional distress.[14]
In 2010, Miller was appointed as Chairman of the Airstreams Board of Directors, where he served until 2011.[15] In 2012, his company, NEAH, incorporated.[16] In 2013, NEAH launched GES Africa Conservation Fund,[17] and was incorporated in 2016 with Miller being the president.[18][19]
In 2019, Miller published a report on the South African company Eskom where he criticized the company's split into three entities and said that "only a forensic audit to assess the scale of past and present looting of the state-owned enterprise could save it."[20][21][22][23]
Politics[edit]
Miller is an independent politician with a history of bipartisanship. In 2010, he endorsed Democratic Representative Mike McIntyre for re-election to North Carolina's 7th congressional district,[3] as well as the movement for sustainable and economic renewable energy development.[4] That same year, he issued a vote of no confidence for Harry Reid's "inability and failure to execute the US National Energy Plan legislation critical to the nation's economic recovery and the development of substantial material jobs for Americans."[24] He was a strong proponent of natural gas, saying that natural gas is still the core investment for all classes of investors.[25] In 2011, he announced his support to ban the use of toxic chemicals in hydraulic fracturing to produce oil and natural gas.[26]
In 2020, he became a candidate for U.S. Representative for Florida's 18th congressional district.
Twitter incidents[edit]
Beyoncé[edit]
Miller became known on Twitter after tweeting that American singer Beyoncé was Italian and her single “Formation” was a coded Satanic message to globalists on July 4.[27] He claimed that Beyoncé's real name was actually "Ann Marie Lastrassi" and was faking being African-American for exposure and to further the “Soros Deep State agenda for the Black Lives Matter movement.”[28][29][30] He later stated that singer Patti LaBelle was "another Illuminati globalist puppet."[31][32] Many users, such as Elijah Daniel, pointed out that the "George Soros Deep State agenda" was part of a reptilian fan fiction[33] and that the name "Ann Marie Lastrassi" came from an Instagram comment.[34]
BTS and K-pop[edit]
On July 7, Miller claimed on Twitter that the South Korean boy-band, BTS, were socialists, giving the backronym of their initials as "Big Time Socialists."[35][36] He also stated the K-pop was "foreign propaganda" that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez used to conspire with Koreans to undermine president Donald Trump and sabotage his rally in Tulsa.[37][38][39] He also alleged that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un knew about the conspiracy and wished that K-pop fans be tried for treason in court.[40][41][42][43]
Black Lives Matter[edit]
On July 15, Miller tweeted that "most white women join Black Lives Matter to fornicate with black men," which was deleted a short while after.[44] Jordan Chariton tweeted a screenshot of the tweet[45], with Miller replying "Nice try, hackers. Twitter needs to work on their security issues."[46][47] Miller then called The Root, who had reported the tweet on their site, a black supremacist blog that attacked him while his account was hacked.[48][49]
Pokemon and anime[edit]
On August 2, Miller tweeted that Pikachu is "disgraceful symbol of pedophilia." and that "Pokémon and Pokémon Go is absolutely sickening." [50]
In a similar instance, on July 30, 2020, Miller described an unidentified "they" as "now introducing a great deal of anime porn into the Internet matrix" and "pushing sexualized cartoon characters to push a depraved agenda on our kids", citing Dragon Ball Z as "one of the top issues here".[51] Some have been quick to point out that hentai is not intended for American children[52] and that Dragon Ball Z does not contain erotic content.[53]
