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.
The plan was interesting because it required the use of Eric Cantor's wife, Diana, who was working for Tom Donohue at the time.
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.
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.
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)
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
1) The people who installed the current occupant of the White House; that's the people who control the "presidency" of Joe Biden; have this to say about their intent to block any effort seeking to stop the process they used.
2) The people in control of the presidency, are doing this, and other things, to ensure the continuation of what they call "rule of law" and "our democracy":
3) This is literally what "their democracy" looks like.
[For those unaware, this was what was once called "the people's house" in popular representative parlance.]
2) A play-by-play perspective of a Democratic Convention showdown....
3) Clyburn heads to the White House for a meeting with Biden. He lays it all out – Biden needs to step down! Feeling the pressure, Biden announces he’s not running for re-election, leaving his supporters stunned and betrayed.
1. After Eric Holder left the Obama administration as Attorney General, he was hired by the State of California to defend against the Trump administration in early January 2017.
2. When Eric Holder left the Obama administration, his firm was contracted by California during a process of linking the motor vehicle registration files to the Secretary of State voter registration system.
Holder was advising on part of a technology system being constructed to bridge the DMV and SoS offices. You might know this as a “Motor/Voter” process. However, former AG Eric Holder had a very specific function in the construction of this technology bridge.
3. The process of adding voters to the registration rolls when they receive or update their driver’s license was seen as an opportunity to expand the voter rolls. Making the voter rolls as big as possible is the key to the utilization of mass mail-out balloting.
1) Let me bring FU type clarity to the "reasonable reforms" argument.
I have talked to everyone in DC about this. They are idiots. Not making mistakes, just plain allowing the IC to tell them nonsense. So, let me be clear.
2) Office of Inspector General Michael Horowitz testified April 27, 2023, more than 3.4 million search queries into the NSA database took place between Dec. 1st, 2020 and Nov. 30th, 2021, by government officials and/or contractors working on behalf of the federal government.
3) These search queries were based on authorizations related to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) and 702 search authorization.
1) There are two general flaws in this type of analysis.
While likely accurate that ISIS did not originate the planning of the attack. Two elements stand out that appear to point away from Galloway's supposition.
2) First, the suspects are alive. Meaning, there was no mop up operation behind them to remove the fingerprints of operational control.
Example (mop up): They didn't jump in the car after the attack and have the car explode with them in it. Essentially eliminating the trail.
3) The absence of the clean-up (could have been anything - not just my example) implies the people who organized the attackers wanted the attackers to be captured.... and therefore, talk about their prior instructions.
1. Let me be very clear, I have talked to congress about everything involved in Spygate, far, far, far, beyond the @shellenberger generalities and provided over 600 pages of verifiable info documents to prove the events as they took place. THEY DON'T CARE.
2. I also talked to J. Durham and W. Aldenberg about the specific info that proves the IC was coordinating with the Senate (SSCI) on all the Trump targeting stuff. I have been vetted, researched and investigated for providing the docs. Again, they don't care.
3. The apparatus of our govt, has made it perfectly clear they intend to do nothing except cover-up all of the activity because the institutional damage is too encompassing for them to deal with. QUOTE: "The IC activity was too big to cope with," the system is not designed...
