scotsman.com/news/politics/…
@MartynMcL Trump & Trump Org have stressed they didn't need outside financing for Scottish resorts, in 2008 George Sorial ex-Trump Org chief compliance counsel told @TheScotsman it had £1bn “sitting in the bank and ready to go” for Scottish course in Aberdeenshire.
scotsman.com/news/politics/…
@MartynMcL @TheScotsman Non-profit global activism organization @Avaaz urged for UWO & described “enough reasonable suspicion as to the nature of Mr Trump’s cash payments for the Turnberry golf resort to justify Scottish ministers’ application for a UWO to investigate the matter”

#Facebook claims it has removed accounts operated by the website BL that are linked to The Epoch Media Group. They are wrong in making such a connection.

By @StephenEpoch (Thread 👇) theepochtimes.com/facebook-errs-…
#Facebook did not contact Epoch Media Group before stating there is a relationship between Epoch Media Group and the BL.

In a statement published on its website, @Facebook says:
The @EpochTimes and The BL media companies are unaffiliated. The BL was founded by a former employee, and employs some of our former employees.

However, that some of our former employees work for BL is not evidence of any connection between the two organizations.

#Facebook's new political ads policy spells trouble for #2020. FB's only Dutch fact-checker just quit over the new 'lies are ok" policy. If legislators don't tackle this, we won't have a fair #2020 election or impeachment process. @Narativlive theguardian.com/technology/201…

New evidence suggests #Ukraine played a key role in creating Trump-#RussianCollusion narrative at the behest of @BarackObama officials
theepochtimes.com/joe-biden-obam…
As #Ukraine underwent dramatic changes in 2014, then-VP @JoeBiden played a critical role in the @BarackObama admin’s involvement in the revolution that ousted #Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych.

Following the revolution, Biden would use his influence to help force the…
… creation of the troubled National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU). Notably, during the 2016 elections information leaked from NABU on Trump’s campaign manager #PaulManafort that helped to create the false #RussianCollusion narrative.
