2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumRedit On Patrol: Investigating Clinton/Montgomery SPAC Dirty Tricks
I was linked to Deport Racism by a friend, and the first thing I noticed was a large and prominent link (now removed) to a website dedicated to Bernie Sanders, feelthebern.org. This gave me pause. Sanders has long condemned what he calls soap opera coverage, and I found it unlikely that he would condone his name on a website that offers a $5,000 bounty to anyone who disrupts Trumps performance on SNL this weekend. It just didnt seem like something Sanders would do.
As it turns out, many users on Reddit shared my suspicion, and decided to inspect the websites source code themselves. What they found, documented throughout multiple threads and on the hashtag #WhoFramedBernieSanders, was shocking, to say the least.
You can verify this code for yourself (Disrupt Trump source cap), if youd like. I cant believe Im saying this about a candidate for President, but it looks like this is a false flag attack straight from next seasons House of Cards. Bernie Sanders would take the fall for Hillarys attack on Trump, and all Hillary would have to do would stare menacingly into the camera.
Way more info at the link.

THIS is what a dirty campaign looks like.

(2,122 posts)Hillarys main PAC, Hillary for America, paid Correct the Record (Luke Montgomery) a whopping $275,615.43 for 3 months of whats filed as research. This report is for 3 months only, so a bill of that magnitude is far too high. Research might be $1030,000 per month, so anything higher than $90,000 would be fishy. But, hey, this is not a typical job, so we might be jumping the gun.
Unless of course, something like this existed.
Not only does this confirm the receipt of the money, but it doesnt declare any intended purpose. This means that a PAC is employing another PAC for three times the amount of money that the other PACs services might be worth. This should set your alarm bells ringing right away.
But wait!, you might say. Is it possible that this research might simply be worth the staggering price tag? Maybe theres no smoking gun here after all?
-snip-
Hillary for America is again paying for 3 months of research, but now, the price tag has dramatically decreased to $6,346.00. So suddenly, this PACs service is worth about $2,000 per month, down from more than $1050,000. We can assume their service quality didnt suddenly take a nosedive, which leaves us with the inevitable conclusion that this was a one time cash-infusion.
Links -digital, paper, and even video- between PAC and Candidate.

(6,568 posts)#1 - This story reached the top 20 on Reddit then the moderators of technology locked it down and removed it from the site.
#2 - This quote from the end: "and it looks like this might involve billionaire George Soros."

(26,582 posts)Who I guess did something shady. But the article links him to Correct the Record, and there's no evidence of that. Then they somehow correct it to Hillary herself, again no proof.
So yeah, bullshit.
Dr Hobbitstein
(6,568 posts)Like the fact that a pro-Hillary PAC made a pro-Hillary video means they are colluding with Hillary. Hillary doesn't even appear in the video.
The stupid, it burns.

But I couldn't find anything in the Reddit research to link him to Correct the Record, which is a David Brock operation. Am I missing something?
