[2] Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a.) W as a Black Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) Degree graduate of Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri) and a former Missouri state government employee who was subjected to frenzy on search engines such as AOL, Bing/MSN, Google and Yahoo following his decision to recognize that (i) he was on (or around) February 21, 2026 contacted in writing (via email) by his alma mater to be informed that Larry P. Arnn would be lecturing undergraduate students at Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri) on March 6, 2026; (ii) he was “cordially invited” to attend the lecture that would be given by Larry P.

United States;

[3] the decision of internet search engines (ISE) such as AOL, Google and Yahoo to filter and distort Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a.)
