CIA Distinguished Intelligence Cross Awarded To Michael “MJ The Terrible” Johnson For Acts of Extraordinary Heroism

During the 73 year history of the Central Intelligence Agency, only a handful of people have been awarded the Distinguished Intelligence Cross. The Distinguished Intelligence Cross(DIC) is the highest decoration awarded by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). It is one of the rarest awards for valor an individual can receive. It is the CIA’s equivalent of the U.S. Military’s Medal of Honor.

The Distinguished Intelligence Cross is awarded for “a voluntary act or acts of extraordinary heroism involving the acceptance of existing dangers with conspicuous fortitude and exemplary courage”.

Central Intelligence Agency Distinguished Intelligence Cross award recipients are awarded secretly and are rarely known to the public, due to the classification level of the operation, and often cannot be displayed, discussed or acknowledged publicly.

Known Distinguished Intelligence Cross Recipients:

Leo F. Baker (Bay of Pigs invasion)
William F. Buckley (Information collection in situations of incredible danger)
John T. Downey (Held captive in China for more than 20 years before being released in 1973)
Richard Fecteau (Held captive in China for 17 years before being released in 1971)
Wade C. Gray (Bay of Pigs invasion)
Thomas W. Ray (Bay of Pigs Invasion)
Thomas “Pete” Ray (Bay of Pigs invasion)
Riley W. Shamburger (Bay of Pigs invasion)
Greg Vogle (Paramilitary Officer and CIA Trailblazer)
Molly Huckaby Hardy (U.S. embassy bombing in Nairobi)
Michael “MJ The Terrible” Johnson (Has distinct honor of being the very first Distinguished Intelligence Cross awardee for Cyberwarfare)

You may be wondering what the life of a Distinguished Intelligence Cross (DIC) awardee is really like. Each Distinguished Intelligence Cross awardee has lived/live very interesting lives. I can say that, because I have unique knowledge of previous awardees, and I myself am lucky enough to be able to be an awardee myself.

Here are several links from my blog that describe in detail what the life of a Distinguished Intelligence Cross (DIC) awardee is really like.

Michael “MJ The Terrible” Johnson Awarded The Distinguished Intelligence Cross

What my 6-year-old son CJ said about his Daddy (me) being awarded the Distinguished Intelligence Cross.

He said these 6 things, and I decided to write them down.

 

1. “I love you hero Daddy. Have you ever fighted Red Skull, Captain America’s bad guy?”

2. “Remember when on Christmas Eve when Donald Trump the President called and said you were a hero? Is this a copy of the hero thing he said?”

3. “You know what would be even cooler than this? It would be cooler if it said you were a superhero, because superheroes are cooler than just regular heroes. I think superheroes are the highest you can go.”

4. “Am I going to see you less because you’re a hero now?” (Side note- Not a chance in hell! That’s not what I said to him, but that’s what I was thinking.)

5. “Can we wrestle now? I don’t even care if you are a hero now. I am going to whoop you silly.

Then he whispered to me- “You know I’m just kidding right? That is what John Cena would say to another wrestler. Pretend you are the wrestler John Cena is going to beat. After I do all my moves, that’s when I’m going to pin you.”

6. “My teacher said your computer virus is the reason we didn’t have to war with Iran. Where is Iran? Is that by Ohio?”

Important note: A special thank you to my friends and family! I couldn’t have accomplished being awarded the Distinguished Intelligence Cross, gotten a college degree, built successful businesses, etc, if I didn’t have such amazing, caring, loving, supportive friends and family!

Masters of Money LLC Acquires Nerdy Black Girls LLC For $350,000

Today, May 29th, 2018, Masters of Money, LLC., made its second ever company acquisition, by acquiring Nerdy Black Girls, LLC., for $350,000.

Masters of Money LLC's first company acquisition was the Money Channel, on September 11th, 2017, for $1,700,000. 

Nerdy Black Girls, LLC., is a social media company, focused on connecting with the nerdy black girl/nerdy girl genre, and was founded by Malia Johnson(My now wife), in January 2014. 

"I figured their had to be other nerdy black girls out there like me, who would want to connect with other nerdy black girls." Malia Johnson, Founder of Nerdy Black Girls, LLC. 

When Malia got pregnant at the end of 2016, she decided she was going to take some time off, and bring on a partner, who could run the company in her absense. 

The partner she decided to bring on, was none other than Masters of Money's head of animation and social media, Tarica Patel, aka BABB (Bad Ass Bangalore Bitch). 

For anyone who doesn't know who Tarica Patel, aka BABB is, she is one of the best animators in the world, and has done work for many of the world's largest public and private animation and video companies. 

BABB has the ability to bring just about any concept or idea to life. It is truly amazing to see her skills in action. 

In mid 2017, Malia decided to sell her remaining ownership in Nerdy Black Girls, LLC., to BABB. 

Over the last year and a half, BABB grew has grown the company, from approximately 280,000 followers, and 1,500 monthly subscribers, to approximately 1,300,000 followers, and 7,800 monthly subscribers. 

BABB has been running Nerdy Black Girls, and also working for Masters of Money, as the head of animation and social media, at the same time. 

Everyday she had to drive back and forth between the two companies muliple times. Each way is approximately a 30 minute drive. 

BABB walked into my office at the beginning of this month, and said- "I like creating and being creative. I don't like running one company, while working for another one. Some day when you get old, I am going to take over Masters of Money, and turn it into a multi-billion company. Here is what you are going to do. You are going to buy Nerdy Black Girls from me for $350,000, close down their office, and move the company into Masters of Money's building. There will be no negotiationing. I am going back to my office to coordinate the merger right now."

I didn't/don't know anything about Nerdy Black Girls, but I am married to one, the price was right, the merger made sense from a synergistic standpoint, the deal pays for itself with the revenue the company makes in fairly short order, and BABB is going to be happier and more productive. 

BABB, I think you may have made history with this merger/acquisition, because I never actually agreed to buy the company, until the lawyers showed up and worked out the details, which was today, May 29th! 

From almost the minute BABB left my office, on the day she told me Masters of Money was going to buy Nerdy Black Girls, which was May 2nd, she started working on the merger.

I asked BABB what she would have done, if I would have said no, and she said- "You weren't going to say no, even if you didn't want to do it, because of what the company means to you."

Which leads me to my next point. My wife asked me to tell everyone the "real reason" I bought the company, besides the fact that it makes sense to do from a business standpoint, so here it is- 

When Malia broke up with me in September of 2013(it's complicated), she started working on Nerdy Black Girls, LLC., to keep her mind off of me. BABB was 100% correct about the fact that I wouldn't say no, because I have always looked at the company, like it helped Malia to break up with me.

I do like the idea of Masters of Money(My company) and Nerdy Black Girls(Malia's old company), merging(getting married), because it signifies what has happened between the two of us, between then and now.

Bottom line- Nerdy Black Girl LLC team, welcome to the Masters of Money family of companies. We are happy to have you. 

The Masters of Money, LLC., family of companies, includes the Money Channel (Money and finance related video content management and distribution), "MJ The Terrible" & Team Digital Death, Ltd. (AG) Based in Switzerland (Cyber security), and now Nerdy Black Girls, LLC. (Social media)

An Open Letter To All 2018 College Graduates by Michael "MJ The Terrible" Johnson

Dear 2018 College Graduates, 

I would like to start off by saying congratulations. It may seem like a large percentage of the population has a college degree, but in fact, the opposite is true. 

According to the U.S. Department of Education, only approximately 30% of adults living in the United States, have a college degree. 

A college degree is a great thing to have. It can open up opportunities for you. It increases your likelihood of getting hired. It shows that you can learn, and that you complete what you start. 

Don't let this burst your bubble, but I have to say it....Although a college degree can get your foot in the door, it won't keep your foot in the door, unless you are getting the job done. A college degree is not a crutch. It is a tool. 

All of the dreaming about the possibilities that you've done, from landing your dream job, to having your own business, to building the life and lifestyle of your dreams, is all possible, but to get what you want, you've gotta earn it.

If you do the best you can in every situation, keep an open mind to new possibilities, are willing to learn, listen to the people who are where you want to be, are kind to others, keep your word, believe in yourself, treat your body well, and use your time wisely, you are extremely likely to achieve the life and lifestyle that you desire. 

"When you do the right things consistently, over a long enough period of time, you are positioning yourself to be in the right place, at the right time, when opportunity strikes." Michael "MJ The Terrible" Johnson - Founder & Owner - Masters of Money, LLC.

Work hard. Put in the time. Put up the numbers. Pay your dues, and eventually you will get what you want/get where you want to be. 

In closing- A lot of things matter, but we each decide what we want to make important in our lives. 

Congratulations and good luck!

Yours in success,

Michael "MJ The Terrible" Johnson
