Facebook permanently bans Alex Jones just 7 years after he claimed Sandy Hook was a hoax. Impressive. theverge.com/2019/5/2/18526…
Atlantic, the Verge, CNN, and Washington Post all writing up this story simultaneously per Facebook's PR army. Meanwhile the company won't answer basic questions about the review process for Trump campaign ads popular.info/p/trump-ad-con…
It's been four days since Facebook promised to get back to me. But they've disappeared. Why bother answering tough questions when reporters will just write up your press release? popular.info/p/trump-ad-con…
Facebook has done a lot of damage over the last few years but the media is complicit. Most of the banned accounts are still up and posting, lol

1. Giuliani's smear against Biden, which was featured on the front page of the NYT, is falling apart.

Biden pressured Ukraine to fire its top prosecutor a YEAR AFTER the gov't decided not to prosecute an energy company affiliated with Biden's son

Poof.

bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
2. One thing that is interesting that happens in these situations is that NOTHING EVER HAPPENS

The NYT never addresses its journalistic failures or grapples with what it means to be taken for a ride by Rudy

It never reassesses its reliance on access to people like Rudy
3. As I detail in this thread. This is just one of several warmed over stories that Rudy convinced the NYT to run on A1 of the paper.

It's the beginning of the journalistic failure, not the end

1. The Trump campaign has DRAMATICALLY changed its advertising strategy online in the last week.

Let's review.
2. On May 1, April 30, April 29, April 25, April 17, April 16, I reported on Trump campaign ads that clearly violated Facebook's own rules. The May 1 report also included violations of Google's rules.

popular.info/p/trump-ad-con…
3. Trump has not created a new campaign ad on Facebook SINCE MAY 2.

Now that the campaign can't break the rules with impunity it's much less interested.

1. You know what kind of sucks? Facebook

You know what doesn't suck? Facebook Groups

What if you could have Facebook Groups without Facebook?

Now you can.

I'm launching my own community for readers of popular.info
2. It won't be mindless drivel. These are going to be READER RESEARCH PROJECTS.

I'll lay out all the background. You start digging.

Together, we change the world.
It'll be fun.
3. Here is the first project

The Epoch Times

Last week, the Epoch Times was one of the top political advertisers on Facebook, paying to promote dozens of pro-Trump videos. The mysterious paper spent more than everyone except Biden and Trump himself.

Friends, I will be LIVE on @newsmax TV, starting around 6:20pm, delivering TRUTH about the FBI’s counterintelligence investigation of Team🇷🇺Trump (what the right wing calls “spying”), and #Facebook’s efforts to ban those spewing hate speech.

👉🏼Tune in: newsmaxtv.com
Be warned that right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones is spewing nonsense on Newsmax right now....even the host is struggling to contain him.🤢🤮

I will be on afterwards to clean up the mess.😎

The coast is clear! Alex Jones finally finished his nonsensical ranting.....🙄

I’m coming up in 30 seconds!😎

Thread: On What We Know Versus What We Suspect, Part III

1. As covered in Parts I and II, over the past several years, a LOT has leaked into the public domain about political corruption, criminal conspiracies, pay-for-play, and other crimes among the US political class.
2. We know what we know and can only speculate about that which we don’t know – and which may be purposely hidden from us by the Deep State and the legacy media.
3. The purpose of this series is to examine what is already in the public domain on several scandals/crimes and then make some informed guesses as to what ELSE is hiding underneath. Here is Part I:

This is going take us around the houses a bit but, to briefly explain the point: this is how the Hollywood Strikes of 1988 and 2007 accidentally upended the world of television, news, politics and, arguably, even reality itself...
On March 7th 1988, ~9,000 American TV and film writers went on strike over a dispute regarding residuals payments. They downed tools and refused to give film studios and TV networks any new scripts to shoot from until the issue was resolved. The strike lasted five months.
As TV networks weren't getting any new episodes of their hit shows in that time (and audiences very quickly grew tired of repeats) the networks were in desperate need of some way to generate new on-screen content. Content that, crucially, didn't require writers...

US fighter jets intercept RU nuclear bombers near AK

Did B, Ledeen - works for Grassley, tell Kavanaugh she had a SPY planted w/ the Dems?

Maddow: “Literally the subject line is "spying" and the first line is "I have a friend who is a mole for us."
❄️JrMints❄️

MJ: Here are the LIES Kavanaugh told:
🚫Wasn't involved in the Pryor nom-he was
🚫Didn't know if he received STOLEN emails-he did
🚫Didn't give an opinion on the constitutionality of subpoenaing POTUS-he did
🚫Didn't know about warrantless wiretapping-does
❄️StoneCold❄️

Kavanaugh forewarned an email info re a mole placed within DEMs commenting:?"interesting".

ICE demands ‘exhaustive’ voting records from NC
