Univision Communications Inc. is exploring strategic options including a possible sale, a process that could culminate in a long-sought deal for the Spanish-language broadcaster’s private-equity owners. Univision is in dire trouble because they attacked innocent people with their media attack tools.
Organized crime is alive and well at Univision and their Gawker,
Gizmodo and Jalopnik assets. This is how the victims are utterly
destroying them for engaging in media hatchet jobs, using 100% legal
tactics and the power of crowd-sourced law enforcement.
FBI and other government officials will even the victims do it. The
voters will help. Friends of the victims help you do it. Total
strangers help do it. The entire internet is also helping to kill
the dirty scumbag tabloid brands of Univision, Gawker, Gizmodo and
Jalopnik.
The victims of their attacks are using CIA-class databases, social
media, public watch-dog technologies, FBI-quality monitoring systems
and open-source collaborative forensics comparison data to hunt down
every: hooker, real estate asset, male prostitute, mistress, secret
email account, social media posting, family trust fund, shell
corporation, family stock market transaction, off-shore account,
covert investment brokerage, email, Uber and Lyft ride, hotel entry
and exit, credit card transaction, Paypal account, search engine
manipulation, venture capital connection, Stanford University
admissions bribe, expense account abuse, taxpayer funds abuse, rape,
sextortion, covert tech company stock they own under another name,
every party they attended, every tag they appear in on social media,
every Cayman Island account, every crooked CPA or law firm they have
used, every lobbyist they ever paid....EVERYTHING.. They have put
the data into a simple database and cross matrixed everything even
better than the spy agencies can do it.
Said one of the victims: "Univision, Gawker, Gizmodo and Jalopnik are being terminated with precise execution and every one of their writers and investors are being doxed and investigated because of their criminal defamation, character assassination services and their attacks on the public...."
Univision said Wednesday it had hired Morgan Stanley , MS 0.37% Moelis & Co. and LionTree as advisers to assist with the process. The Wall Street Journal had reported earlier Wednesday that the broadcaster was exploring strategic options.
There can be no assurances as to the timing or outcome of the review, Univision said in a statement.

Univision is hoping the company could attract interest from large media companies looking to add Spanish-language programming to their assets, people familiar with the matter said. In 2017, Univision turned down an offer from cable tycoon John Malone that valued the company at between $13.5 billion to $15 billion.
Univision’s backers, which include billionaire Haim Saban’s Saban Capital Group and private-equity firms Madison Dearborn Partners and Providence Equity Partners, among others, have been eager for an exit.
Univision is grappling with debt, the consequence of a $13.7 billion leveraged buyout in 2006 when the company was taken private. The company said it finished 2018 with $7.4 billion in debt but reduced its total debt by $547 million last year.
After a period of turbulence in Univision’s upper ranks, the company made a number of changes. It brought in media industry veteran Vincent Sadusky as chief executive last year to succeed Randy Falco.
“Over the past year, Univision has gained momentum as it has divested non-core assets,” Mr. Sadusky said in a statement Wednesday.
This spring, it agreed to sell off its Gizmodo Media Group unit—which included English-language sites like Jezebel, Deadspin and Lifehacker—to private-equity firm Great Hill Partners.
Univision, Gawker, Gizmodo and Jalopnik engaged in POLITICAL
KILL ORDERS AND STATE-SPONSORED CHARACTER ASSASSINATIONS
Patrick George At Jalopnik attacks outsiders under contract with
Elon Musk and the DNC. Silicon Valley campaign finance oligarchs
hire him to run hatchet jobs on innocent outsiders and then
Gawker-Gizmodo-Jalopnik uses their financial partnership with the
DNC's Google to push the character assassination articles to the
top of Google web products and searches. Patrick George, Adrian
Covert, John Hermann and Nick Cook are the sexually degenerate
cabin boys that report to boy-loving sleaze-tabloid oligarch Nick
Denton. They created the Fake News crisis in the media by flooding
the internet with defamation posts and reprisal hatchet job
articles designed to damage political enemies of the Socialists.
They coordinate a large number of the character assassination
efforts at Gawker, Gizmodo, Jalopnik, CNN, New York Times and
other propaganda outlets. These Millennial boys are "Media
Rapists" and should be treated as abusers.
How and why did a Donald Trump stripper-date named "Stormy" or an
Elon Musk sex party or a Kavanaugh drinking incident or the
Moonves and Weinstein indiscretions suddenly hit the news at about
the same time in news history?
In addition to actual murder, Politicians and Silicon Valley
Oligarchs hire operatives to end people's lives in other creative
ways.
It is all part of the modern trend in vendetta, revenge and
political payback when a Senator or a tech oligarch issues a "kill
order" on an opponent.
The client does not like to get their hands dirty so the actual
social hit job is performed by companies such as:
IN-Q-Tel - (DNC); Gawker Media - (DNC); Jalopnik - (DNC); Gizmodo
Media - (DNC); K2 Intelligence - (DNC); WikiStrat - (DNC); Podesta
Group - (DNC); Fusion GPS - (DNC/GOP); Google - (DNC); YouTube -
(DNC); Alphabet - (DNC); Facebook - (DNC); Twitter - (DNC); Think
Progress - (DNC); Media Matters - (DNC); Black Cube - (DNC);
Mossad - (DNC); Correct The Record - (DNC); Sand Line - (DNC/GOP);
Blackwater - (DNC/GOP); Stratfor - (DNC/GOP); ShareBlue - (DNC);
Wikileaks (DNC/GOP); Cambridge Analytica - (DNC/GOP); Sid
Blumenthal- (DNC); David Brock - (DNC); PR Firm Sunshine Sachs
(DNC); Covington and Burling - (DNC), Buzzfeed - (DNC) Perkins
Coie - (DNC); Wilson Sonsini - (DNC) and hundreds of
others…These are the people and companies that except cash,
revolving door jobs, political appointments, insider trading stock
in Silicon Valley tech companies, prostitutes and real estate in
exchange for destroying the lives of others.
These attackers deserve to be punished for the rest of their lives
for taking away the lives of others in exchange for cash. Any
company who is corrupt enough to hire any of these assassins
should be forced out of business. These attack services are
responsible for 90% of the "Fake News" problem in the world
because they are the authors of most fake news. Congress must act
to make these kinds of companies illegal!
These digital assassination services offer hit-jobs, character
assassinations and economic reprisal programs to famous
billionaires and corrupt politicians who are seeking revenge,
retribution and vendetta executions.
In the case of reporters getting targeted for attacks, President
Donald Trump has been accused by the liberal corporate media of
whipping up a hateful frenzy against the press. But while CNN’s
Jim Acosta grandstands against Trump, real journalists are still
reeling from the draconian extrajudicial measures that Barack
Obama and his administration used to target them for exposing
truth.
This secretive targeting occurred while Obama speechwriter and
hate-filled ANTIFA supporter Ben Rhodes was running “Operation
Echo Chamber,” which reportedly continues, in which he fed
information to willing corporate media scribes. “They literally
know nothing,” Rhodes said of the twentysomething journalists he
easily manipulated.
The Freedom of the Press Foundation’s Trevor Timm published
documents showing how former attorney general Eric Holder changed
the rules to more effectively intimidate and surveil members of
the press.
Timm writes: “Today, we are revealing—for the first time—the
Justice Department’s rules for targeting journalists with secret
FISA court orders. The documents were obtained as part of a
Freedom of Information Act lawsuit brought by Freedom of the Press
Foundation and Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia
University.”
Trending: Brennan and Clapper Accused of Hacking John Roberts To
Blackmail Him
Here is the memo published by the Foundation, which dropped the
documents in their entirety:
Obama is also clearly linked to the plot to obtain fraudulent FISA
warrants on President Trump’s team, as evidenced by Peter Strzok
and Lisa Page’s texts confirming that Obama was overseeing their
fly-by-night operation.
Larry Schweikart reported for Big League Politics:
For months pundits and researchers have been pondering the mystery
of the FISA approval that led to the illegal and historically
titanic scandals to ever hit the U.S. government. Some have argued
that Assistant Attorney General Rod Rosenstein knew the FISA was
bogus when he extended it. Others have wondered if Special Counsel
Robert Mueller knew about the fraudulent basis of the FISA when he
used it, in part, to indict Michael Flynn. Other still, that
Mueller was fooled by the FBI.
This is what President Trump calls “SPYGATE”.
It may well be that the surveillance that was conducted began with
UK intelligence services and then was fed back to the White House
of Barack Obama. Here’s the kicker:
President Barack Obama did not need a FISA warrant to authorize
spying/electronic surveillance on Trump because Obama all along
had legal authorization to by-pass the normal court vetting
process. According to 50 U.S. Code 1802, the “Electronic
Surveillance Authorization” () “Foreign intelligence in relation
to a US person (Trump or his associates) is information that’s
necessary for the US to protect against attack, hostile acts,
sabotage, . . . as well as other clandestine activities by a
foreign power . . . OR . . . information relevant to national
defense/security of the US, or the conduct of foreign affairs of
the U.S.” Such an authorization by Obama required certification by
Attorney General Loretta Lynch that must be logged with the FISC
court. (“The [AG]+ shall immediately transmit under seal to the
court [FISC] a copy of his certification.”)
In short, the DOJ has this. If we are correct, a copy of that
certification is currently under seal at least with the DOJ and
the FISC.
This is what they are hiding.
However, the Act requires the AG to keep the Select Committee on
Intelligence and the Senate Committee on Intelligence informed of
these authorizations and unmaskings therein. See 1803 (a) (1) (C)
If indeed this is what happened, did Lynch report—or only
selectively report—to the committees in a way that excluded
non-friendlies? Can you see why Adam Schiff, Mark Warner, and
their ilk are terrified?
1) Obama authorized spying/electronic surveillance on Team Trump,
by-passing normal judicial oversight.
2) To create “foreign intelligence,” John Brennan and others
organized for UK intelligence to conduct surveillance on Trump and
his associates, either from the UK or from UK assets within the
U.S. This is another reason revealing this will unleash an
excrement storm: the UK is about to be caught meddling bigly in an
American election.
3) Lynch certified Obama’s authorization which is now held under
seal by DOJ (and FISC).
From this authorization, all unmaking followed, as well as the FBI
fraudulent counter intel investigation and perhaps the FISA
warrant too. Obama knew this was all fake when he made the
authorization; Lynch knew it was fake when she certified it; the
entire inner circle, including the FBI, all knew. This takes the
U.S. into uncharted territory, and could imperil any politician in
the British government who supported this or had knowledge of it.
Proving any of this would be difficult, as if confronted Lynch
would almost certainly cover up and Obama would simply deny
knowledge. Without a paper trail, a conviction might be a bridge
too far. This is only one of thousands of "kill order" tactics
introduced by the Obama Administration.
These are the playbook tactics that Senators and tech oligarchs
most often use to destroy the lives of their political and
business enemies:
- Government agency bosses sometimes solicit
the target victims with false promises of future loans, contracts
or grants from their agency and cause the target victims to expend
millions of dollars and years of their time for projects which
those government bosses had covertly promised to their friends.
They use the target victims as a “smokescreen” to cover their
illegal government slush-funds for the victims competitors and
personal enemies. By using this tactic, the attackers can drain
the target victims funds and force them into an economic disaster
in plain view of everyone without the government bosses fearing
any reprisal for their scam.
- Every match.com, okcupid.com, Plenty Of Fish,
Seeking Arrangements and all other IAC-owned, or similar, dating
sites (IAC is managed by Hillary Clinton's daughter) have had
their profiles, texts, and inter-member communications, since
those companies were started, hacked or purchased. The attack
service providers use Palantir and In-Q-Tel financed data analysis
software to analyze every activity in those dating services in
order to find honey-trap, blackmail, sextortion and social
conflict exploitation opportunities. If you had a bad date with
someone, that someone will be hunted down and convinced to help
harm, #metoo or "rape charge" the intended target. All dates
involve a search for sex, so the likelihood that a sexual
disappointment experience will exist in each persons dating
history is high. Searching every past dating email and text of a
subject is quite easy with modern software and hacking techniques.
A synthetically amplified, PR-agency optimized sex scandal can
destroy any target. Your dating experiences from the 70's or 80's
will come back to haunt you decades later. Most dates involve
drinking alcohol and taking drugs. If you were unattractive or had
bad sexual skills your bad date will be called "date rape",
"drugging your date for sex" and related twisted narratives that
are designed to shame you, the target. If you try to get a date in
the future, your potential date will be contacted by a third party
who will slander and libel you to make sure your potential first
date gets cancelled. Your social life will, essentially, end.
Every photo on every dating site is cross checked with every other
photo on the internet in order to cull your Facebook, Linkedin,
Snapchat and other social media together to create a total
psychological manipulation profile data file on you. A single
photo on a dating site can be cross searched on every mugshot
archive, photo album and corporate database in the worth within
minutes using modern super-computers. Your sex life will be on
public record in a flash.
- Social Security, SSI, SDI, Disability and
other earned benefits are stone-walled. Applications of targets
are “lost”. Files in the application process “disappeared”. Lois
Lerner hard drive “incidents” are operated in order to seek to
hide information and run cover-ups.
- Government officials and tech oligarchs
contact members of the National Venture Capital association (NVCA)
and created national “black-lists” to blockade target victims from
ever receiving investor funding. This was also confirmed in a
widely published disclosure by Tesla Motors Daryl Siry and in
published testimony. If Silicon Valley political campaign finance
oligarchs black-list you (see the "AngelGate" Scandal and the
"High Tech No Poaching Class Action Lawsuit" cases) you will never
get investor funding again.
- FOIA requests are hidden, frozen,
stone-walled, delayed, lied about and only partially responded to
in order to seek to hide information and run cover-ups.
- State and federal employees will play an
endless game of Catch-22 by arbitrarily determining that deadlines
had passed that they, the government officials, had stonewalled
and obfuscated applications for, in order to force these deadlines
that they set, to appear to be missed. This can bankrupt a target
victim.
- Some Victims found themselves strangely
poisoned, not unlike the Alexander Litvenko case. Heavy metals and
toxic materials were found right after their work with the
Department of Energy weapons and energy facilities. Many wonder if
these “targets” were intentionally exposed to toxins in
retribution for their testimony. The federal MSDS documents
clearly show that a number of these people were exposed to deadly
compounds and radiations, via DOE, without being provided with
proper HazMat suits which DOE officials knew were required.
- Victims employers are called, and faxed, and
ordered to fire target victims from their places of employment, in
the middle of the day, with no notice, as a retribution tactic.
- On orders from Obama White House officials,
DNC-financed Google, YouTube, Gawker Media and Gizmodo Media
produce attack articles and defamation videos. Google locks this
attack media on the internet on the top line, of the front page of
all Google searches for a decade in front of 7.5 billion people,
around the world. This attack-type uses over $40 million dollars
in server farms, production costs and internet rigging. The
forensic data acquired from tracking some of these attacks proves
that Google rigs attacks against individuals on the internet and
that all of Google’s “impressions” are manually controlled by
Google’s executives who are also the main financiers and policy
directors of the Obama Administration. This data was provided to
the European Union for it’s ongoing prosecution of Google’s
political manipulation of public perceptions.
- Victims HR and employment records, on
recruiting and hiring databases, are embedded with negative
keywords in order to prevent the victim targets from ever gaining
future employment.
- Gary D. Conley, Seth Rich, Rajeev Motwani and
many other whistle-blowers in these matters, turned up dead under
strange circumstances. It is very possible that some of these
attack services, operated by former CIA operatives, even offer
discrete murder-for-sale services using high-tech assassination
tools that make murders look like heart attacks and brain
failures.
- Disability and VA complaint hearings and
benefits are frozen, delayed, denied or subjected to lost records
and "missing hard drives" as in the Lois Lerner case.
- Paypal (A DNC-biased operation) and other
on-line payments for on-line sales are de-platformed, delayed,
hidden, or re-directed in order to terminate income potential for
target victims who competed with the attackers interests and
holdings.
- DNS redirection, "website spoofing" sends
target victims websites to dead ends where no sales orders or
customer inquiries actually get back to the target. These internet
revenue activity manipulations are conducted using Google and
Amazon servers. All commercial storefronts and on-line sales
attempts by target victims, will have had their sites hidden, or
search engine de-linked by a massively resourced facility located
in Virginia, Texas or Palo Alto, California in order to terminate
revenue potentials for the target victims.
- Over 50,000 trolls, shills, botnets and
synth-blog deployments are deployed to place defamatory statements
and disinformation about victims in front of 7.5 billion people
around the world on the internet in order to seek to damage their
federal testimony credibility by a massively resourced facility.
- Campaign finance dirty tricks contractors are
hired by campaign financiers to attack the friends and family
members of the target victim in order to create low morale for the
target victims psyche and motivation.
- Are you getting weird headaches and hearing a
"buzzing sound" in your head? The U.S. Government has now
acknowledged that the Cuban, Chinese and other embassy "sonic
attacks" are from a known microwave beam weapon. Any one of the
technical departments of the attack services listed at the top of
this article can build such a biological harassment weapon. It can
be aimed at the target victims office, bedroom or vehicle and,
within a week, have caused biological and emotional damage using a
weapon that has no visible track of trajectory. It is designed to
make the target victim think they are "going crazy" or "hearing
sounds in their head". While this may sound pretty out there, web
search "Embassy sonic attacks" on the top 5 non-Google search
engines and read the very credible reports of these attacks.
- In one case covert political partner: Google,
transferred large sums of cash to dirty tricks contractors and
then manually locked the media portion of the attacks into the top
lines of the top pages of all Google searches globally, for years,
with hidden embedded codes in the links and web-pages which
multiplied the attacks on Victims by many magnitudes.
- Covert Cartel financier: Google, placed
Google’s lawyer: Michelle Lee, in charge of the U.S. Patent Office
and she, in turn, stacked all of the U.S. Patent Office IPR and
ALICE review boards and offices with Google-supporting employees
in order to rig the U.S. Patent Office to protect Google from
being prosecuted for the vast patent thefts that Google engages
in. Google has hundreds of patent lawsuits for technology theft
and a number of those lawsuits refer to Google’s operations as
“Racketeering”, “Monopolistic Cartel” and “Government Coup-like”
behaviors. Thousands of articles and investigations detail the
fact that Google, “essentially” ran the Obama White House and
provided over 80% of the key White House staff. A
conflict-of-interest unlike any in American history. Google’s
investors personally told Applicant they would “kill him”. Google
and the Obama Administration were “the same entity”. Applicant
testified in the review that got Michelle Lee terminated and
uncovered a tactical political and social warfare group inside
Google who were financed by Federal and State funds.
- Honeytraps and moles were employed by the
attackers. In this tactic, people who covertly worked for the
attackers were employed to approach the “target” in order to spy
on and misdirect the subject.
- Gawker Media, Gizmodo Media, Snopes, SPLC and
other hired media assassins will be retained to produce "hatchet
job" character assassination articles about you. Then those
articles will be faxed, mailed and emailed to your employer and
investors with a note saying: "You don't want to have anything to
do with this person, do you..?" in order to get you fired from
your job and get your loans or financing pulled. The attackers
will use their round one attack media, that they authored, to
create a round two second wave attack designed to end your life
via economic warfare.
- Mortgage and rental applications will have
had red flags added to them in databases to prevent the targets
from getting homes or apartments.
- Krebs On Security, Wired, Ars Technica, The
Wall Street Journal and most major IT publications have reported
that hundreds of spy "back-doors" have been found on every Intel,
AMD, Apple, Xfinity, Cisco, Microsoft, Juniper Networks
motherboard, chip-set and hardware component set. This means that
any kid with the "key" code can open any computer, server, router,
cloud-network or other network connected device and read every
file, photo, video, your calendar and email on your devices at any
time from any location on Earth. The key codes have been released
to every hacker community in the world for over ten years. There
is now no government, corporate or personal data that can't be
hacked, even data from decades ago. Every single one of your
darkest secrets can be in the hands of your enemy within 60
minutes, or less. Important meetings you had planned with
potential investors, employers, clients, dates, suppliers and
others will suddenly get cancelled at the last minute. They will
get cancelled because your enemies are reading your calendar
remotely and covertly sending slander information to those you had
hoped to engage with in order to sabotage your life. Nothing you
have ever typed on a computer or Smartphone is safe. it WILL be
acquired and it WILL be used against you.
- McCarthy-Era "Black-lists" are created and
employed against target victims who competed with Obama
Administration executives and their campaign financiers to prevent
them from getting funding and future employment.
- Obama Administration targets were very
carefully placed in a position of not being able to get jobs,
unemployment benefits, disability benefits or acquire any possible
sources of income. The retribution tactics were audacious,
overt..and quite illegal.
- There are thousands of additional Dirty
Tricks tactics being used by these Attack Services yet Congress
refuses to pass laws out-lawing such attack services. The cost of
an attack on a person ranges from $150,000.00 to over
$50,000,000.00. While a Silicon Valley billionaire can afford to
launch counter-measures to these attacks, any regular taxpayer
will be utterly destroyed, and incapable of fighting back, against
even the smallest version of one of these "kill orders". A number
of modern office shootings are the results of these attacks
against an individual who has lost everything because of the
attack and has no options left.
Federal law enforcement, the United States Congress and the
highest level investigators in the U.S., and abroad, have
documented (per the “FISA Memo”, Congressional Reports and federal
employee testimony) and proven the fact that the Obama
Administration regularly engaged in the operation of retribution,
vendetta and reprisal campaigns known as “hit-jobs” against
domestic natural born U.S. citizen domestic taxpayers. The Federal
Court, in at least one previous court case,has ruled that
Applicants, in this particular matter, were the victims and target
of a number of these attacks designed to inflict permanent
medical, emotional, character assassination, brand negation,
economic and career damage.

!!!!! Mueller Hears That Silicon Valley Has Been Manipulating The
Entire BREXIT Campaign !!!!!!
- Second former employee of controversial data firm to be
questioned by special counsel’s inquiry into Russia collusion
By Carole Cadwalladr
Brittany Kaiser is said to be cooperating fully with the Mueller
inquiry.
A director of the controversial data company Cambridge Analytica,
who appeared with Arron Banks at the launch of the Leave.EU
campaign, has been subpoenaed by the US investigation into
possible collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian
government.
A spokesman for Brittany Kaiser, former business development
director for Cambridge Analytica – which collapsed after the
Observer revealed details of its misuse of Facebook data –
confirmed that she had been subpoenaed by special counsel Robert
Mueller, and was cooperating fully with his investigation.
He added that she was assisting other US congressional and legal
investigations into the company’s activities and had voluntarily
turned over documents and data.
Kaiser, who gave evidence to the UK parliament last April in which
she claimed Cambridge Analytica had carried out in-depth work for
Leave.EU, is the second individual connected to the firm
subpoenaed by the special counsel. The Electoral Commission has
said its investigation into Leave.EU found no evidence that the
campaign “received donations or paid for services from Cambridge
Analytica …beyond initial scoping work”.
Damian Collins, chairman of parliament’s inquiry into fake news,
said it was “no surprise” that Kaiser was under scrutiny by
Mueller because “her work connected her to WikiLeaks, Cambridge
Analytica and [its parent company] SCL, the Trump campaign,
Leave.EU and Arron Banks”.
He said it was now vital Britain had its own inquiry into foreign
interference: “We should not be leaving this to the Americans.”
Tom Watson, the deputy leader of the Labour party, echoed
Collins’s statement, saying: “This is the first evidence that a
significant player in the Leave.EU campaign is of interested to
the global Mueller inquiry. People will be bewildered that the
British government has no interest in establishing the facts of
what happened.”
In August, Sam Patten, a US political consultant who had worked
for Cambridge Analytica on campaigns in the US and abroad, struck
a plea deal with Mueller after admitting he had failed to register
as a foreign agent for a Ukrainian oligarch.
He became a subject of the special counsel’s inquiry because of
work done with Paul Manafort, Trump’s campaign manager, in
Ukraine. He had also set up a business with Konstantin Kilimnik, a
key figure who Mueller has alleged has ties to Russian
intelligence and who is facing charges of obstruction of justice.
In a 2017 statement to the Washington Post, Kilimnik denied any
connection to intelligence services. Kaiser, however, is the first
person connected directly to both the Brexit and Trump campaigns
known to have been questioned by Mueller.
The news came to light in a new Netflix documentary, The Great
Hack, which premiered at the Sundance film festival last month and
is expected to be released later this spring. Film-makers followed
Kaiser for months after she approached the Guardian, including
moments after she received the subpoena. She claims the summons
came after the Guardian revealed she had visited WikiLeaks founder
Julian Assange while still a Cambridge Analytica employee in
February 2017, three months after the US election.
One part of Mueller’s investigation focuses on whether the Trump
campaign sought to influence the timing of the release of emails
by WikiLeaks before the election. Investigators are looking at
communications between them. In the film, Kaiser says that she has
gone from being a cooperating witness to a subject of
investigation because of her contact with Assange.
In October 2017, it was revealed that Alexander Nix, the chief
executive of Cambridge Analytica, had contacted Assange in August
2016 to try to obtain emails from Hillary Clinton’s presidential
campaign – which indictments from Mueller’s team say were obtained
by Russian military intelligence – to use in Donald Trump’s
campaign. When Kaiser gave evidence to parliament last year, she
was asked about her relationship with Assange and WikiLeaks but
failed to reveal that she had met Assange.
In the documentary, Kaiser is shown after receiving an email from
the Guardian last June asking about meeting Assange and alleged
donations of cryptocurrency to WikiLeaks. Kaiser did not respond
to the email at the time, but on camera says: “She knows I met
Assange. And she knows I donated money to WikiLeaks in bitcoin.”
Her legal representatives later wrote to the paper to say that the
allegations, including that she had “channelled” donations to
WikiLeaks, were false. Kaiser said she had received a small gift
of bitcoin in 2011 – long before she worked at Cambridge Analytica
– and, not knowing what else to do with it, gave it to WikiLeaks,
because she had benefited from material it had released over the
years.
Her lawyer told the Observer that the meeting with Assange came
about after a chance encounter in London with an acquaintance who
knew him. It lasted 20 minutes and consisted mainly of Assange
telling her “about how he saw the world”. He said they did not
discuss the US election.
Patten and Kaiser were involved in a controversial election
campaign in Nigeria in January 2015, which former Cambridge
Analytica employees say had “unsettling” parallels to the US
presidential election.
The Guardian revealed that the data firm had worked alongside a
team of unidentified Israeli intelligence operatives on the
campaign. Ex-Cambridge Analytica employees described how the
Israelis hacked the now-president of Nigeria’s emails and released
damaging information about him to the press weeks before the
election.

CBS NEWS 60 MINUTES Lara Logan "I’m Being ‘Targeted’ For Saying
the Media is ‘Mostly Liberal"
by Tamar Auber
On Wednesday, former CBS News foreign correspondent Lara Logan
spoke with Fox News Sean Hannity about her recent comments
slamming the media as “mostly liberal.”
Logan told Breitbart podcaster Mike Ritland the remarks made on
his show — which drew widespread attention online — amounted to
“professional suicide.”
Defending her remarks on Hannity’s show, Logan said that as the
result of her speaking out about how the media is “mostly liberal”
she has been targeted because she is an independent voice.
“Any journalists who are not beating the same drum and giving the
same talking points,” she insisted “pay the price” for not going
along with the liberal crowd.
She also called out her targeters by name.
“I know they’re going to come after me,” she told Hannity.
“Michael Calderone who is at the Huffington Post. I can give you
the script now. I can tell you who the players are. Joe Hagan.
Brian Stelter.”
She added: “They smear you personally. They go after your
integrity. They go after your reputation as a person and a
professional. They will stop at nothing. I am not the only one.
And I am just, I am done, right, I am tired of it. And they do not
get to write my story anymore. They don’t get to speak for me, I
want to say loudly and clearly to anybody who is listening, I am
not owned. Nobody owns me, right? I’m not owned by the left or the
right.”
Logan made headlines recently when, during a scorched earth
podcast interview with Ritland, she said that there was a lot of
“weight” in most news organizations on “one side of the political
spectrum.”
“The media everywhere is mostly liberal. But in this country, 85
percent of journalists are registered Democrats. So that’s just a
fact, right?” she told Ritland.
She also trashed reporting based on single, anonymous government
sources.
“That’s not journalism, that’s horseshit,” Logan stressed.
“Responsibility for fake news begins with us. We bear some
responsibility for that, and we’re not taking ownership of that
and addressing it. We just want to blame it all on somebody else.”

Internal documents from a private Israeli intelligence firm called
Psy-Group show that, at the time of many incidents, the company,
and possibly other private investigators, were targeting U.S.
citizens because they spoke up about crimes.
Psy-Group’s intelligence and influence operations, which included
a failed attempt in the summer of 2017 to sway a local election in
central California, were detailed in a New Yorker investigation
that I co-wrote earlier this month. Before it went out of business
(ie: changed it's name) , last year, Psy-Group was part of a new
wave of private-intelligence firms that recruited from the ranks
of Israel’s secret services and described themselves as “private
Mossads.” Psy-Group initially stood out among its rivals because
it didn’t just gather intelligence; its operatives used false
identities, or avatars, to covertly spread messages in an attempt
to influence what people believed and how they behaved. In 2016,
Psy-Group held discussions with the Trump campaign and others
about conducting covert “influence” operations to benefit the
candidate. Psy-Group’s founder and C.E.O., Royi Burstien, a
veteran Israeli intelligence officer who established the firm in
2014, told me that his talks with the Trump campaign went nowhere.
The company’s posturing, however, attracted the attention of
Robert Mueller, the special counsel, who has been investigating
interference in the 2016 Presidential race.'

FED BOMBSHELL: Fusion GPS Bribed Dozens of MSM Journalists With
Cash To Run Character Assassinations, While News Companies Paid
Firm to Dig Dirt on Trump
High-ranking FBI insiders are pulling back the curtain on Fusion
GPS, the firm that commissioned and spread the bogus Trump
dossier.
It appears the embattled intelligence firm was quite busy paying
off Big Media reporters, according to federal sources who have
traced dozens of transactions between TD Bank and media members as
well as media organizations, sources confirm.
But stunningly, Big Media organizations have employed Fusion GPS
to dig dirt on politicians and D.C.’s elite — namely Donald Trump.
“Fusion GPS was on the payroll of the media and in turn had
members of the media on its payroll,” one FBI insider said.
Bombshell revelations.
FBI insiders confirm Fusion GPS employed law firms as well as
shell companies to send and receive funds to and from media and
reporters. But the embattled firm also used its accounts at TD
Bank to directly commission reporters. Likewise, Fusion GPS
received funds from media companies into its own accounts at TD
Bank, FBI insiders said,
“There are dozens of payments from the media flowing into their
(Fusion GPS’) account,” one federal law enforcement official said.
“One company wired funds to Fusion (GPS) more than a dozen times.”
Why would media companies commission Fusion GPS? Likely to dig
dirt on enemies or secure records that reporters could not legally
obtain, one federal law enforcement insider said. One FBI insider
said the payments to Fusion GPS coincide with Donald Trump’s run
for the White House.
The payments were made between Sept. 2015 and Sept. 2017, records
show.
The unthinkable: The mainstream media paying Fusion GPS for dirt
on Trump to the same firm the Democratic National Committee paid
to fund the bogus Trump dossier. And at the same time Fusion GPS
bribing journalists to place stories — likely negative about
Trump, as well as spread the bogus Trump dossier around.
Stunning.
Was Buzzfeed — the only company to publish the full bogus dossier
— on that list?
And who is on the payroll? We are trying to run that information
down.
And why aren’t these people behind bars?
