Is Robby Mook's Russiagate scam responsible for the app that Iowa Dems are relying on to report caucus results? I can't find anything else on who developed the app. desmoinesregister.com/story/news/202…
Iowa results aren't in yet, denying Bernie the obvious PR victory of having his success reported while most Americans are watching. Iowa Dems are relying on a shady and untested voting app to report results and there scant info on who's behind it. wsj.com/articles/dems-…
Two days ago Robby Mook defended the Buttigieg campaign’s successful push to prevent the release of a historically accurate #IowaCaucuses poll 🤔
Fortune reported the mysterious Iowa app was developed by Mook's @D3P. Now @lhfang reports it was Shadow Inc., a subsidiary of the centrist dark money Super PAC Pacronym. Several donors behind this are giving big to Buttigieg, who just declared victory. readsludge.com/2019/11/06/who…
@D3P @lhfang Hillary Clinton hyped up the $75 million initiative that funded the creation of Pacronym and Shadow Inc., claiming it would protect against "propaganda."

David Plouffe, who's been hammering Bernie on MSNBC all night, is on this group's board.

Ian Henderson, member of OPCW team on Douma, spoke today at the UN.

He re-stated his belief that no chemical attack occurred & called the final OPCW report a "complete turnaround in the situation from what was understood by the majority of the team and the entire Douma team."
Henderson of the OPCW Douma investigative team:

"In my case, I had followed up with a further six months of engineering and ballistic studies of these cylinders, the result of which had provided further support for the view that *there had not been a chemical attack.*"
Henderson's visa application was curiously rejected by the US, preventing his attendance. His credibility was attacked by US-backed @bellingcat ahead of time.

He revealed that he was also inspection team leader at Syria's Barzei laboratories before & after it was bombed by US.

At deranged State Department briefing, Trump spox claimed Soleimani hatched a devious plot to bomb Cafe Milano, where Beltway elites wine and dine.

When asked for evidence justifying his assassination, spox says, “Jesus, do we have to explain why we do these things?” ImageImage
State Department spox: “There will not be any tears shed in Iran for the death of Soleimani...”

Meanwhile, in Iraq and Iran... ImageImageImage
If Soleimani had this devious plan to blow up a five star restaurant in DC, why did the US so eagerly collaborate with him against the Taliban and later against ISIS? ImageImage

Born Marie Jana Korbelova, Albright is the daughter of anti-communist ex-Czech diplomat Josef Korbel, who loathed Tito. She was mentored by Zbig Brzezinski, son of diplomat who fought w/ Poland's nationalist army vs USSR. Behind the stately veil lies bilious old world hostility.
Josef Korbel founded the U. of Denver School of Int'l Studies in his name w/ a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation, then an OSS/CIA cutout.

He was later accused by an Austrian family of stealing millions of dollars in paintings & silver during the war:

jta.org/1999/05/05/arc…
Korbel was not just a foreign policy mentor to his daughter, Albright; he was a major influence on his student, Condi Rice, who extracted from his "black-and-white views" a crude Cold War-style justification for the invasion of Iraq.

From Elizabeth Bumiller's bio of Rice:

Threat of Cyber Propaganda and Electoral Consequences for Native Americans (Thread is English version of article)
@IEEQcomunica
Disruptive social media accounts are appropriating Indigenous ideology & exploiting it through cyber manipulations, strategic intrusions, & coordinated warfare. This behavior references Native American stereotypes.

which are employed by non-natives for retail commerce, political messaging, and environmental activism. One result of such activity has been a US Presidential election cycle revolving around political candidates being criticized using derogatory Indigenous memes.

#Republican students @Portland_State hosted racist Alt-Right troll Mike Mahoney, who was hired by Unite the Right speaker and neo-Nazi troll Baked Alaska to work for Milo Yiannopoulos, but had to be monitored due to his racist and anti-Semitic posts. rosecityantifa.org/articles/mike-…
According to report from @RoseCityAntifa, Mahoney was given the #Milkshake treatment.
An expose by Buzzfeed news on Milo and his deep connections to those in the Alt-Right and neo-Nazi scene first put a spotlight on Mahoney. buzzfeednews.com/article/joseph…

Good piece here from two Iowa reporters, @brianneDMR & @KimNorvellDMR about an agriculture policy package dropped by @ewarren. Notes about this (Thread. Yes, another one). desmoinesregister.com/story/news/ele…
2. First, Warren’s main target is consolidation in agribusiness. This is consistent with her general orientation toward stronger enforcement of anti-trust laws. Corporate mergers and domination of market sectors by individual companies are a factor in farmers’ lives.
3. Is consolidation a uniformly negative factor? No. Is it central to the consolidation of agriculture (that is, the decades-long trend toward fewer, larger farms)? Also no — well, maybe for poultry it is. But consolidation in agribusiness tends to benefit front offices...

💥Steve King U.S. Congress IA-04 (please vote for J.D. Scholten @Scholten4Iowa) is a quadruple threat at the very least on some of the most prominent issues of the 2018 Election.

1⃣▶️He’s a racist, intensifying the pervasive polarization in the country

desmoinesregister.com/story/news/pol…
2⃣▶️Steve King has voted for every repeal or bill to chip away at the Affordable Care Act

3⃣▶️He voted for the #GOPTaxScam, a series of tax breaks for corporations & wealthy passed by Republicans, now used as the excusing for cutting Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid
4⃣▶️King is backed by Charles Koch, who has been funding a hybrid of Republican/Libertarian/"eccentric" billionaire causes & politicians for decades in order to promote his agenda: mainly to abolish EPA/all environmental regulations, bust employee unions & ease corporate taxes.

After getting fined $15 for an "improper lane change" that killed 2 people, Eric Branstad was cited for alcohol in another crash, this time in his governor dad's jeep.

Eric’s dad became Trump’s US ambassador to China.

Eric himself got a job as a Trump White House adviser.
2. Eric Branstad is now using his political ties to Trump to promote his public relations firm in China, where his (former governor of Iowa) dad is now the US ambassador to China. (This is all perfectly legal, unless you’re an “illegal immigrant”).

desmoinesregister.com/story/news/pol…
3. The vehicle Eric Branstad was driving when he caused the deadly 1991 accident was purchased by his dad’s campaign. In 2001, 8 years after an alcohol possession fine following a crash in his dad’s Jeep (in 1993), Eric was found guilty of operating a vehicle under the influence.
