Hedge funds are evil.

“Through an investment managed by a NJ hedge fund, CA’s public pension fund appears to have owned as much as one-third of American Media Inc., the National Enquirer’s parent company, in 2016.”

“Chatham Asset Management, a high-risk hedge fund that has taken control of the National Enquirer’s parent company, American Media Inc.”

White boomers, step aside.
We have become the voting block of obstruction. Of racism. Of NIMBYism.

Talking more to white men (who have the political power) more than white women, for sure, but we (WW) put Trump in the WH.
What happened to the cohort who brought about the end of Vietnam?

Our parents gifted us with Nixon, an unintended consequence of our crucifying LBJ, who birthed the Civil Rights Act.
Or were the protesters only a small fraction of their cohort? Was it a media shift (Cronkite) that ended Vietnam?

It was a Republican who warned us about the military-industrial-Congressional complex, a triad that still has a stranglehold on policy and public $ today.

Kudos to the @washingtonpost for debunking the claim in the headline. But they still led with the lie. :-/

<Antibiotics do not prevent people from dying from the measles, Rep. Zedler>
Fixed that for you
washingtonpost.com/health/2019/02…
Traditional news structure does NOT work for stories like these. The who-what-when-where-why-how formula does a disservice to the greater good.
Zedler was born in 1943.

When he was a child, 450 people died annually from the measles; 48,000 were hospitalized; millions got the disease.

The vaccine was introduced in 1962; it took until 2000 to almost eliminate the disease.

Brazen. Unique. Wide-ranging.

In this case (there are two) Manafort, 69, pled guilty to two crimes with maximum 10-year sentence. Memo cited sentencing guidelines of up to 22 years.

Investigate more rich people and his crimes may not appear so unique.
DOJ could start by re-opening Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking case. How can it not be related to Vero Beach?

Then fund federal investigations coordinated with local police.

“More than 9,000 illicit massage businesses operate in every state around the country, bringing in a stunning $2.5 billion each year”

Bent on growth, Zuck & Sandberg ignored warning signs about their platform being used by Russia and then sought to conceal them from public view.
nytimes.com/2018/11/14/tec…
This report is based on interviews w more than 50 current & former Fb execs & employees, lawmakers, govt officials, lobbyists & congressional staff members. Most spoke on the condition of anonymity because they had signed NDAs, were not authorized, or feared retaliation.
At critical moments over the last three years, Sandberg & Zuck were distracted by personal projects, and passed off security and policy decisions to subordinates, according to current and former executives.

⁉️WHAT⁉️

Public pension funds in #NJ and #OH used **HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS of taxpayer money** to bankroll a failing business: #AMI, the company that owns The National Enquirer.

Gee, this sounds kinda bad, doesn't it.🙄

#Corruption
#Mob
AMI/The National Enquirer is not owned by @realdonaldtrump’s pal, David Pecker. It’s owned by Chatham Asset Management (hedge fund).🤨
Chatham & another Chatham co. manage **$500 million of #NJ state pension funds & $125 million of #OH state pension funds** and are raising new money/trying to refinance **$450 million in AMI debt**. Only w/Chatham’s support did Pecker keep control of AMI.
