She takes a lot of heat... seems to me, looking back she’s been right on a lot of her stories

I have an old link somewhere, maybe a link from her that ties Kushner in also...need to dig it up.

I wasn't involved in that thank goodness. I have been using her a source for my weekly column and I wrote about that last summer too. I'm so glad this coming out now. I'm waiting for the Spectrum Health/Trump Tower/Alpha Bank server conversations that I wrote about last fall to come out as well. Little by Little.

Especially once I understood the probable role of Spectrum Health being the correlation of names and addresses from their vast database of personal customer information.

I'm waiting for that to come to the spotlight. Here's my column that published ... well, I couldn't find this in the morgue quickly, so here, is the original draft

As the tale of betrayal and treason inundating the Trump White House spirals in an ever widening gyre, we add more names in this saga: DeVos and Zuckerberg.

In a November 22, 2016 Forbes article, Jared Kushner bragged about his “Stealth Data Machine” that won the White House for Donald Trump. In an article dated October 31, 2016, Slate magazine reported on the connections in Kushner’s “Machine.”

For months during the election cycle, reporters noted constant internet data traffic between Trump Towers servers and Russian Alfa Bank’s servers. Now we learn of a third leg in those data transmissions.
Spectrum Health, a DeVos family (of Amway multilevel-scheme wealth) company’s computer servers appear to have been receiving, replicating and updating hacked voter records with more complete data gleaned from their voluminous patient records. Then after being updated and replicated, that data was transmitted to Trump Tower servers, Alfa Bank servers and finally to the Kremlin for weaponization based on targeted voter information.

Confirming these allegations, computer data scientists recently published Meta data from their IP addresses and noted consistent lengths of time for each transmission and period of rest.

Intelligence shows Russia’s GRU hacked both DNC voter rolls and voter registration systems throughout the 2016 election cycle. While no data was stolen, deleted or changed, it was replicated.

Zuckerberg’s Facebook recently admitted taking illegal ad money from Russian companies. Whether Zuckerberg’s company is complicit is undetermined. But the reported $100,000 ad buys placed a lot of political ads on Facebook . Those ads aimed to destroy the opposition: Hillary Clinton.

Betsy DeVos, now part of the Trump cabinet, is turning our public school system into private charter and alternative (religious) schools.

Her brother, Eric Prince, owner of infamous Blackwater private military, is lobbying for his new “logistics” company, Frontier Resource
Group, to replace our military in Afghanistan. So far, our generals have managed to squash that plan.

Now under cover of devastating fires and hurricanes, Trump and the Republicons are stacking the courts. Fascism is edging ever closer. All I can say is, “Hurry Up! Robert Mueller! Those clanging bells signal a 10 Alarm Fire!”

I did find the date that column published...it was Sept 15, 2017.

Here's the link to our paper and you can read my column online each week. I love it when anyone does, because there are little eyes showing how many clicks, and I want to be top columnist...ego driven on that one.

that is the current issue and maybe to update, change the number? kind of a clumpy site...but it's home.

calling her a right wing troll, which may even be true........but from what I've seen of her posts there is no love for trashbag tRUMP...and I never believed the 'plot' that she is a plant trying to throw liberals off.

interesting.

I don't "follow" anyone with the assumption they're spot on about every report. I have respect for the work mainstream investigative journalists are doing, especially now.

Yet I do believe there's a role for others, especially in this day and age of so much knowledge available at our fingertips to put pieces of the puzzle together, especially when they do appear to have at least some legitimate sources. Even MSM journalists often don't name their sources but, understandably, their process takes longer before it reaches us since there are usually many layers of confirmation required before an outlet will be associated with a report.

I know people have latched onto some things she has said that are either wrong or seem impossible, but she has been writing about Cambridge Analytica for over a year and other aspects of this story that many people are just now hearing about from MSM reporting.

She's worth paying attention to, imo, along with many others, mainstream and otherwise.

(I do wish I understood the cliquishness of the TrumpRussia reporters/bloggers; I like to hear what Malcolm Nance has to say as well as Mensch, as two examples, but at least on twitter, there seems to be some kind of brouhaha between two camps. Ick.)
