SOME KIND OF MAGIC: How I Survived the Deception Wars with the Relentless Pursuit of Truth... a love letter to my tweeps maewestside.tumblr.com/post/633604838…
1/ THE IMAGINARY HOURS—Wide awake at 2 am, researching, posting, digging, poking. Tweets strewn about the bedroom floor. News delayed is news denied. I am a veteran investigative reporter, who resigned from corporate controlled media just in time to be a useful warrior for truth.
2/ UNSHACKLED AND LOUD—It’s 2017, and I am abandoned in my own home, my pursuit of truth during the Deception Wars was inconvenient. I am alone, and I’m fighting for truth to see sunlight during a time of grave deception. It’s my raison d’être. No sleep.

REMEMBER THE PROJECT ALAMO: “You find the weakness and you exploit it... When Trump won we literally said hey this bunch of kids got this done, kids who just got out of college made this happen.”-Leo Reyes, former Trump digital campaign team, 2016, to @Channel4News
SOCIAL DISTORTION: “Reyes claimed the messages the campaign created were often distortions of the truth..’like a stretch to reality and almost like I’m taking what you said, and moving it to fit my agenda’.”-@Channel4News
