Paul Horner, who penned debunked articles about Bill Murray running for president and President Barack Obama opening a Muslim museum, was discovered unresponsive in his bed Sept 19.
There were no signs of foul play, according to the Maricopa County medical examiner, and there was evidence the death could be due to an “accidental overdose.”
During the 2016 presidential election, Horner created a list of websites that appeared to be legitimate news sites to spread false information.
One article that claimed protesters who disrupted Donald Trump rallies were paid $3,500 went viral on the internet and fueled endless rumors about the alleged conspiracy.
Despite the fact that no evidence existed, Trump repeated the charge about the paid protesters while on stage during one of his rallies.
Horner told the Washington Post last November that although the information was clearly fabricated, he made thousands of dollars each month from them because Trump’s supporters were “easy to fool.”
In the same interview, Horner said he thought Trump won the White House because of him.
Man I am not going to go all Alex Jones here, but damn this is convenient.
Horner was the face of 2016 fake news, but he was by no means alone.
Without the Russians helping to push his fake news stories, and without Donald Trump himself actually repeating at least one of them to his audience, he would have had virtually no impact at all.
This guy made "thousands of dollars each month." Let me tell you, THAT is not easy to do.
In order to pull that off you have to have a lot of help from others who also want your articles to be spread far and wide.
And now that this guy is gone, I have a feeling that this is one investigative channel that is going to be a lot harder to explore.
Damn, I did go a little Alex Jones there, didn't I?

So Linsey was almost alone on the field in her gesture, even though, beyond the stadium, she was part of a massive movement which began last August with San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick’s statement against police brutality and racist violence in the United States."

"Howard Stern is the greatest celebrity interviewer alive, bar none."

"Trump, a notorious germaphobe, is discussing his extreme distaste for blood. The mere sight of it, he says, causes him to recoil in disgust. Perhaps it explains why he accused then Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly of being on her period after she asked him a tough question during a presidential debate, or why he sought multiple deferments to dodge the Vietnam War.
“I was at Mar-a-Lago and we had this incredible ball, the Red Cross Ball, in Palm Beach, Florida. And we had the Marines. And the Marines were there, and it was terrible because all these rich people, they’re there to support the Marines, but they’re really there to get their picture in the Palm Beach Post… so you have all these really rich people, and a man, about eighty years old—very wealthy man, a lot of people didn’t like him—he fell off the stage,”
“So what happens is, this guy falls off right on his face, hits his head, and I thought he died. And you know what I did? I said, ‘Oh my god, that’s disgusting,’ and I turned away,” said Trump. “I couldn’t, you know, he was right in front of me and I turned away. I didn’t want to touch him… he’s bleeding all over the place, I felt terrible. You know, beautiful marble floor, didn’t look like it. It changed color. Became very red. And you have this poor guy, eighty years old, laying on the floor unconscious, and all the rich people are turning away. ‘Oh my god! This is terrible! This is disgusting!’ and you know, they’re turning away. Nobody wants to help the guy. His wife is screaming—she’s sitting right next to him, and she’s screaming.”Thank god for the Marines. “What happens is, these ten Marines from the back of the room… they come running forward, they grab him, they put the blood all over the place—it’s all over their uniforms—they’re taking it, they’re swiping [it], they ran him out, they created a stretcher. They call it a human stretcher, where they put their arms out with, like, five guys on each side,” shared Trump.
“I was saying, ‘Get that blood cleaned up! It’s disgusting!’ The next day, I forgot to call [the man] to say he’s ok,” said Trump, adding of the blood, “It’s just not my thing.”
Fucking PSYCHOPATH.

O/T but I want to add info to Roy Moore story - unless you live in Alabama, you won't know the anger people here felt at Luther Strange for impeding the impeachment process of Governor "Luv Guv" Bentley so Bentley would appoint him to Jeff Sessions's seat. Moore is liked by the religious fanatics;however his son Caleb being arrested 8 times with no jail time doesn't go over well when it appears in the media. Moore's foundation with his wife and same son as major officers doesn't go over well either but Strange was seen as a worse choice. And again, I live here,and it's Fox watching uninformed Alabama.
ReplyDeleteDoug Jones' campaign should use all of that and more against Moore.
DeleteBut once again, the Democrats will take the high road and play nice and the DNC won't bother to support Jones because it's a Red State.
So they'll lose and this right wing crazy will become a senator.
God, I wish the Democrats would grow a spine and learn to fight.
Expect the list of those who are "suicided" to grow.
ReplyDeleteAs with many conspiracy theorists, there is often a grains of truths to be found in what they say.
We need to open our eyes and draw conclusions, not pretend this shit isn't going on.
"Make it look like an accident."

It seems suspicious that as the investigation into Russian interference rams up, major players suspiciously die off. Isn't this a Putin MO?

"On Wednesday, U.S. Republican Senator James Lankford accused Russian trolls of seeking to polarize Americans, using hashtags such as #TakeAKnee and #BoycottNFL to spread messages. The allegation follows the emergence of such modus operandi for trolls on previously divisive topics in the U.S., including the election."
"One such ad that ran during the election campaign referred to the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement, CNN reported Thursday. BLM's protests against accusations of institutional police racism have outlined lines of deep and tense division in the U.S. The ad was specifically targeted to Ferguson, Missouri, and Baltimore, Maryland. Another such ad referred to Trump as "the only viable option."
Both cities were the scene of separate case of suspicious detentions of an African-American citizen, that ended in their deaths. None of the police officers involved were convicted of any offense related to misuse of power or excessive violence." BLM!
Trump supporters were easy to fool. ha ha ha ha ha. No shit. ha ha ha ha.
