**ahem*** Here is the answer...... Image
Now VP of Fox Political Content Image
If you remember the 2014 Senate Comprehensive Immigration Reform Effort "Gang-o-Ocho" (the one that cost Cantor his seat to Dave Brat).... It was Bill Sammon who was the DC operative who organized the Fox operation to support it.

Sammon [on behalf of Murdoch] coordinated meetings between Rubio (the aligned pitch man) and several media people. It was a coordinated effort. Tucker Carlson, Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity and Neil Cavuto were key.
The Fox Hosts were then given instructions to sell the Senate Bill. This relationship eventually bled into Fox supporting Rubio in the 2016 election. It was a quid-pro-quo.
Fox News' Rupert Murdoch wanted the senate Amnesty bill on behalf of his Wall Street interests. Specifically U.S. Chamber of Commerce President Tom Donohue.

newyorker.com/magazine/2013/…
The plan was interesting because it required the use of Eric Cantor's wife, Diana, who was working for Tom Donohue at the time. ImageImage
Rubio pushed the 2013/2014 Amnesty Bill in congress, and Bill Sammon organized the Fox pundit narrative.

Not surprisingly Bill Sammon's daughter, Brooke, became the Communications Director for Marco Rubio's presidential bid in 2016. Image
Mickey Kaus was chastised by Tucker Carlson, a Fox contributor and now prime-time show host, for writing an article in the Daily Caller outlining the relationship.

kausfiles.com/2015/03/18/fox…
Kaus outlined Rupert Murdoch, his company Fox News, the talking heads under his control and authority, and Murdoch’s request for pro-amnesty propaganda to be broadcast on the network.
Tucker Carlson took down the article from the Daily Caller, and subsequently Mickey Kaus quit in disgust over the agenda-driven editorial decision. Apparently some things are just too sensitive for sunlight and exposure.
Rupert Murdoch, Wall Street, The U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the entire GOPe apparatus -including then House Speaker Paul Ryan- were 100% behind comprehensive immigration reform to include amnesty.

This is the 2013/2014 origin of the Fox/Ryan relationship.
Back to Fox News and their election/debate agenda – The executive in charge of Fox News debate programming, debate questioning and debate structure, as well as all election reporting, is Vice President Bill Sammon. (circled below) Image
The WaPo has an outline describing how Sammon runs the entire show at Fox regarding politics; and how he is the person who Chris Stirewalt [Megyn Kelly], Chris Wallace and Brett Baier directly report to for all issues, construction, and organization.

washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/styl…
Now, take this background information and overlay it against Rupert Murdoch’s response to the 2016 republican debates. [And the attempted hit job on Trump by Kelly]

There is a particular clarity that resonates, no? Image
Mr. Rupert Murdoch, who is also leading the executive decision-making on Fox programming, and giving Sammon his orders, also contracted pollster Frank Luntz to appear on Fox News broadcasting during the 2015/2016 election cycle.

nationaljournal.com/s/617171/frank…
Luntz had sub-contracts with Rubio and a long relationship going back to the Senator’s time in the FL Legis. Rubio has paid Luntz $350,000+ It’s not accidental that Luntz focus groups regularly found Rubio the winner of debate/opinion programming.

breitbart.com/politics/2016/…
Murdoch was intensely against the candidacy of Donald Trump. So much so that he instructed former President of Fox News, Roger Ailes, to shape favorable coverage toward anyone other than Trump, including a request to tilt toward support for H Clinton.

hollywoodreporter.com/news/fox-news-…
...And that, my friends, is why Fox News attempts to undermine President Trump in these election cycles.

Once you see the strings on the marionettes, you can never go back to that time when you didn't see them.

/END Image
Addendum: Here's a more comprehensive expose', for those who are only recently understanding (or seeing) the dynamic.

Feel free to ask @TuckerCarlson all about it.

Good Sign - President Trump Announces No Position for Nikki Haley or Mike Pompeo in New Administration theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2024/11/0…
2. ♦ Nikki Haley directly blamed President Trump for the violent events during January 6, 2021, and said, “I don’t think [Trump’s] going to be in the picture,” she said, matter-of-factly. “I don’t think he can. He’s fallen so far.” […] “We need to acknowledge he let us down,” she said. “He went down a path he shouldn’t have, and we shouldn’t have followed him, and we shouldn’t have listened to him. And we can’t let that ever happen again.”

politico.com/interactives/2…
3. Haley cares about one thing, her own position and power – that’s it.  She really is the worst type of politician you can fathom. 

Nikki Haley was supported and funded by infamous CIA Acting Director Mike Morell.  Haley was a tool of the “six ways from Sunday” group. Image

With Mail-in Ballots Assisting, Moldova Votes for Pro-War Alignment With EU/NATO - Conflict is Now Imminent theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2024/11/0…
2. For more than two years we have been saying to keep an eye on Moldova in the background.  Yesterday Moldova held their national election, and while the actual number of people living in Moldova voted for the anti-war position, once the overseas ballots were added the results changed.  The nationalists became the minority and the pro-war/pro-EU globalists declared victory.

politico.eu/article/moldov…
3. This may seem like a relatively ‘over there’ and small issue.  However, the people who control Joe Biden, the U.S. State Dept and the CIA have been positioning themselves in/around Moldova for several years now.  Watch out for Moldova to become the spark that leads to escalated conflict with Russia.

Someone once said, "watch Moldova."

The last, desperate effort of USAID either creates the backdrop for expanded NATO war with Russia, or the effort dies there. The relevance of A Blinken and S Power is on the Moldovan line.
2. USAID/CIA and Dept of State recently failed in Georgia. [The country, not state]

The majority of the people in Georgia do not support the continual bloodshed in Ukraine, they are pragmatic with their views toward Russia, and they don’t want the USA and Brussels determining their politics for them.  Georgia Dream is like a Georgia-First party.   They had an election last weekend and retained control over parliament.

3. They failed, because the message underpinning their current geopolitical effort has long been essentially silly.

In a 2024 world, the CIA, USAID and DoS are still selling the 1980's "we are the world" narrative. Image

1. The Aftermath

When it comes to the ‘after part’, well, as a long-time CERT recovery member perhaps I can guide you through the expectation and you might find some value. Consider this little word salad a buffet, absorb what might be of value pass over anything else. Image
2. Hurricanes can be frightening; downright scary.  There’s nothing quite like going through a few to reset your outlook on just how Mother Nature can deliver a cleansing cycle to an entire geographic region.   The sounds are scary. Try to stay calm despite the nervousness.  Telephone and power poles, yes, even the concrete ones, can, and likely will, snap like toothpicks.  Trees will bend and break; the sounds are dramatic.
3. Then silence.  No birds. No frogs. No crickets. No sound.

Nature goes mute.  It’s weird.

We have no idea how much ambient noise is around us, until it stops.

1. I have been asked to put my hurricane prep into a thread. This might be long. It's a buffet of prepper stuff that others have found to be valuable. Take what you find valuable, ignore what you don't. It's just information. Image
2. Due to this path, the area north of the impact eyewall will see winds offshore.  The area directly south of the impact eyewall will see winds directly onshore.   Preparations are always critical within the cone area; however, preparations for a west to east storm are even more critical.  A few miles and a little wobble can make all the difference in the storm surge.
3. For those in the cone of uncertainty, remember, planning and proactive measures taken now can significantly reduce stress in the days ahead. As a general rule: take cover from wind – but evacuate away from water.

It’s not just them. Really think about it, shift the paradigm, and OMG 😳 it all makes sense.

What the FBI does, and what the FBI doesn’t do. Use this reference and every single example reconciles, like a fuzzy picture that suddenly becomes clear
19 days for the FBI to arrive in Benghazi, Libya. This explains why…
Operation Crossfire Hurricane. This explains why…
