Ok.. now you know what is the overall purpose. Why we have launched operation Wolf Blitzkrieg
Before I tell you many things you can do TODAY, now, immediately, let me give quick update of what happened yesterday, on Day 1
Yesterday, Day 1 of Operation Wolf Blitzkrieg - there were thousands of replies to Wolf's deliberately misleading Tweet. Many of our faves chimed in, like Palmer @PalmerReport made numerous Tweets critical of Wolf. First Media outlets condemned Wolf like Huffpo
Here at our end, I had my first angry ranting Tweets, then wrote my Open Letter to Wolf and CNN (it is my currently pinned Tweet, has had over 700 retweets already, THANK YOU)
The immediate reactions from YOU, my dear Tweeps included - demands for Wolf to resign. For Wolf Blitzer to be boycotted. For Wolf to be cancelled. A hashtag was born - #WolfBlitzerLies - under which hundreds of local gas prices already were entered to mock Wolf
Social Media is such a new media form, few people yet understand its full power. What happened to Wolf yesterday with that Twitter hashtag is a PERMANENT STAIN that never goes way. It passed that level of damage late yesterday. #WolfBlitzerLies now has a TW hashtag 'rating'
Of people near Wolf, dozens of CNN personalities were already alerted of the mess Wolf has created for CNN. This includes Gloria Borger, Anderson Cooper, Dana Bash, John King, Jim Acosta, and CNN's own FACT CHECKER Daniel Dale - one of best in fact checking biz
The actual PRODUCTION TEAM of Wolf's show, Situation Room, was alerted and informed of the dumpster fire at aisle Wolf. I can tell you they are horrified and fear what will Day 2 be like
CNN's management knows
CNN owners, AT&T have been told too
That is roughly what we achieved in the first day. Now we start to put on some serious pressure, by escalating this a little bit, today, and then of course ever more in coming days, until Wolf caves

So Steve Bannon is indicted on 2 counts for ignoring Congresional Subpoena. He will be tried, convicted, and gets somewhere between 1 month & 2 years in prison
Bannon was an arrested criminal. Pardoned by Trump. And his prison time will be MASSIVE beyond this
Bannon thread 2/
Bannon is one of biggest monsters that gave us the Turmpomess. He is a psychological warfare specialist who used social media (Cambridge Analytica was his company) and used Facebook accounts to 'mind rape' (his words, not mine) Republicans. Yes Republicans.
Bannon Thread 3/
Steve Bannon was a bad seed long long before Trump. But when more sane campaigns would not touch Bannon in the 2016 cycle, he went to work for Trump. Before that he had co-founded racist extreme propaganda outfit Breitbart. The magafication of Trump was Bannon
First if you happen to be following Wolf Blitzer, unfollow him, please. We do not follow hannity, why would we follow a fellow liar like Wolf. If he grows up, apologizes, you can go back to following him if you want
Tell your Tweeps to do same
Second, go to Wolf's home page here on Twitter, and pick any recent Tweet, and demand he delete his lies about DC gas prices, in whatever colorful - but not threatening - language you can think of. Try not to get in trouble with Twitter vocabulary gestapo, so be 'creative'
Third, you might not know, but Situation Room has its own TW page. It is BETTER way to reach Wolf's production team. Install the fear of god into them - that what Wolf is doing with his lies, is now causing irreparable damage to THEIR CAREERS. They'll become unemployable like Fox
THANK YOU. Yesterday I discovered Wolf Blitzer's corrosive lie (was many hours old by then). I started a pressure campaign to get Wolf to remove the lie. I asked you to help me and your support has been wonderful, supportive - and funny
So far Wolf has not..
So far, Wolf has not retracted his lie. This gets us into Day 2 of this process. It may take a while. I will prevail. I have not even STARTED yet
Yesterday was YOUR wonderful spontaneous reactions joining in
So I want to THANK you. And let you know, I will not fail YOU or this
Most of you know, I am a professional CONSULTANT in the media and tech space. I wrote literally the first BUSINESS book about the power of social media. There is NOBODY on the planet more dangerous to Wolf Blitzer's (remaining) reputation than me. And I have not even started yet
First, it is a GOP talking point. They have nothing. So they are trying to blame INFLATION on Joe Biden
Inflation that TRUMP caused with 2017 tax cuts. Inflation that made WORSE with his Covid mess in 2020
Wolf is on GOP talking points !!
Secondly the car gasoline price at the pump is NOT an indicator of inflation. It is not a MEASURE of inflation. It is a LAZY journalist's trick, because gas pump prices are good TV images. And good for SCARING TV viewers
Gas prices LAG real inflation and JUMP AROUND MADLY
But thirdly, Wolf Blitzer LIED. He claimed the prices to be DC prices, when he picked LITERALLY the highest price on a notoriously expensive gas station, near car rental return.
Fourthly, it is MISLEADING because he is 25% above NATIONAL average prices too #WolfBlitzerLies
