Rudy Ghouliani TV Ad for Experian Dark Web Scan

https://www.ispot.tv/ad/w_5i/experian-dark-web-scan-protect-yourself-featuring-rudy-giuliani

Experian Dark Web Scan TV Commercial, 'Experience' Featuring Rudy Giuliani

"Security Expert Rudy Giuliani warns that cybercriminals are scouring the dark web for people's personal information, including social security numbers and advocates for Experian's Dark Web Scan. Experian monitors the dark web globally so that it can alert customers when if their information is found on the dark web before criminals can act."

---------------

I saw this ad last week on a show I was watching.
It gave me the creeps.
Not the product but the actor selling it.

My first thought was, if Ghouliani's selling it, he must be invested in it somehow.

Creepy Rudy & the dark web commercial is a bit of an oxymoron.

Buying the Media with bribes, to make himself a king.

BEZEQ CORRUPTION PROBE 'A VERY SERIOUS INSTANCE OF GIVING AND TAKING BRIBES'

(BEZEQ is the communications giant)

In first, prosecution points finger at Netanyahu in Case 4000 ‘bribes’
PM named in court as alleged beneficiary of illicit deal for 'adulating coverage in return for regulatory benefits' said worth a billion shekels

.. a first official on-record statement implicating him in the so-called Case 4000 corruption investigation, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was named Tuesday as one of the people believed to have been involved in bribery as part of an illicit deal with the communications giant Bezeq.

Speaking at a hearing in which Shaul Elovitch and Nir Hefetz — the majority shareholder of Bezeq and a former media adviser for the prime minister, respectively — appealed their continued detention in the case, state prosecutor Yehudit Tirosh of the Israel Securities Authority said that in his role as communications minister, Netanyahu was at the center of “a very grave instance of giving and taking bribes.”

The case involves suspicions that Elovitch ordered the Walla news site, which he owns, to grant positive coverage to Netanyahu and his family in exchange for the prime minister advancing regulations benefiting Elovitch.

Tirosh, arguing before the Tel Aviv Magistrate’s Court, said that “positive coverage is a mild way of putting it.”

“I have no way of properly describing the benefit [he received]. We are talking about enlisting a leading news site to provide adulating coverage in return for regulatory benefits given by the Communications Ministry, the minister of communications and the director-general of the Communications Ministry,” she said.

Netanyahu served as communications minister from November 2014 to February 2017.
During that time, Walla’s coverage notably changed to favor the Netanyahu family, and Bezeq was given permission, among other things, to buy the satellite cable provider Yes, overriding antitrust issues, and to renege on its commitment to lease out its infrastructure to telecom competitors so they could provide competing fixed line and internet services.

Suspended Communications Ministry director Shlomo Filber, who turned state witness last week and is expected to provide information possibly incriminating Netanyahu in the probe, had his remand extended by 15 days last Wednesday.

..once called the Count of Monte Cristo, Today, Paul Manafort is more like The Invisible Man

Mystery man: Ukraine's U.S. fixer
By ALEXANDER BURNS and MAGGIE HABERMAN 03/05/2014 05:01 AM EST

His friends once called him the Count of Monte Cristo.
Today, Paul Manafort is more like The Invisible Man — a worldly political pro whose latest adventure, whispering in the ear of Ukrainian presidential candidate Viktor Yanukovych, has handed him a supporting role in a bona fide international crisis.

Over three decades in Washington, Manafort built a storied career as a Beltway man of mystery: a famously discreet operative who worked for Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush, steered the 1996 GOP convention and built not one but two white-shoe D.C. lobbying shops, a pair of firms that bore Manafort’s name and catered to an eclectic stable of clients including anti-communist Angolan rebels and Ferdinand Marcos, the dictator of the Philippines.

Then, Manafort all but vanished from the Washington scene.

From Sen Whitehouse: "Trump is in the back pocket of billionaires"

Sen. Whitehouse: Trump is in the back pocket of billionaires
By Sheldon Whitehouse
Updated 5:08 PM EST, Wed February 21, 2018

SNIP

..behind the scenes, President Trump is not calling all of the shots.
While he golfs and tweets and watches cable news, several disturbingly powerful billionaires are pulling the levers and winning special treatment.

So, who is behind the curtain?

Carl Icahn, the billionaire investor, was brought in as "special adviser" to the President in order to cut regulations.
On the campaign trail, the President bragged of his relationship with Icahn, calling him one of "the great businessmen of the world."
Icahn, who bought one of Trump's Atlantic City casinos out of bankruptcy and contributed the maximum he legally could to the Trump campaign, said he would slash "crazy regulations" hindering American businesses.

It turned out Icahn had one particular regulation in mind. Skirting conflict of interest rules...

Bob Murray, the billionaire coal baron who donated $300,000 to the President's inauguration and $1 million to his leading super PAC, while lobbying the Trump administration for actions favorable to his company. He has also given hundreds of thousands of dollars to political action committees affiliated with EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt.

Murray has boasted about his "action plan" for President Trump, a four-page wish list of policies to benefit him and his company:

And then there are the most sophisticated puppet masters of all: the billionaire Koch brothers.
In July 2015, President Trump tweeted, "I really like the Koch Brothers (members of my [Palm Beach] Club), but I don't want their money or anything else from them. Cannot influence Trump!"

They don't influence Trump -- they man his administration.
According to a report by Public Citizen, a progressive advocacy group, 44 administration officials come from Koch-backed organizations or political groups. EPA Administrator Pruitt has been heavily supported by the Kochs (including $3 million spent to boost his confirmation), as has Energy Secretary Perry (including tens of thousands of dollars in donations to his campaigns).

And Vice President Mike Pence has long been intertwined with the Koch operation, through funding and staff.
Among his many ties to the Koch network, Pence's former chief of staff, Marc Short (now White House congressional liaison) is a top Koch operative who also served as president of the Koch's Freedom Partners Chamber of Commerce.

They win huge paydays.
The Kochs spent $20 million to promote the unpopular Republican tax cuts, and now stand to see their tax bill slashed by as much as $1.4 billion a year.
They thanked Speaker Paul Ryan for pushing it through with a $500,000 donation to his political fundraising committee and a promise to spend $20 million more to tout the tax giveaway in upcoming elections.

When billionaires spend millions to convince Americans that the tax cuts are good, it might actually be a sign that for most people, they aren't.

Here is the Warning Hillary gave us all, about Russia 2016 influence.

Just to clear up any recent statements:

http://people.com/politics/hillary-clinton-wikileaks-hack-debate-russia/

October 19, 2016 10:21 PM
Hillary Clinton was ready when the WikiLeaks hack of her campaign chairman, John Podesta, came up during the third and final presidential debate on Wednesday night.

After the moderator Chris Wallace quoted a line from a speech Clinton gave to a Brazilian bank – revealed in the hacked emails – the Democratic nominee took it as an opportunity to point out what she sees as the biggest takeaway from the WikiLeaks hack – the Russian government’s alleged involvement.

“You are very clearly quoting from WikiLeaks and what’s really important about WikiLeaks is that the Russian government has engaged in espionage against Americans,” Clinton told Wallace.

“They have hacked American websites, American accounts of private people, of institutions, then they have given that information to WikiLeaks for the purpose of putting it on the Internet,” she added.

“This has come from the highest levels of the Russian government, clearly from [Vladimir] Putin himself, in an effort – as 17 of our intelligence agencies have confirmed – to influence our election.

“So I actually think the most important question of this evening, Chris, is finally will Donald Trump admit that the Russians are doing this and that he rejects Russian espionage?”
----------

Hillary Clinton knew of the Russian influence, warned us, & publicly stated it with Sen Sanders, Chris Wallace & the world listening to her words.

Everybody did know. Hillary warned us all.

Thank you.

The media today: Are Russian trolls behind everything?

From THE COLUMBIA JOURNALISM REVIEW

The media today: Are Russian trolls behind everything?
By Mathew Ingram
FEBRUARY 21, 2018
1321 WORDS
NOW THAT SPECIAL COUNSEL ROBERT MUELLER has indicted a dozen Russian agents and several Russian corporations as part of his investigation into interference in the 2016 US election, the troll problem must be solved, right?

Not quite. In fact, Russian trolls seem to be popping up almost everywhere:

A New York Times report, for example, said that a number of Twitter accounts with links to Russia moved quickly to take advantage of the attention focused on the mass shooting at a school in Parkland, Florida, by posting hundreds of updates related to the event and using popular hashtags.

How extensive or influential this was, however, is unclear.
The Times relied in part on data from Hamilton68, a site that tracks the behavior of a range of Russian accounts, but the site’s conclusions have been questioned.
It was created by The Alliance For Securing Democracy, which is in turn associated with the nonprofit German Marshall Fund.

According to The Intercept’s Glenn Greenwald, the Alliance and the Fund are backed by notorious right-wing warmongers such as Bill Kristol and Mike Chertoff, and therefore their conclusions should be taken with a grain of salt.

Others have also raised concerns:
The Russia-focused news site Meduza notes Hamilton68 won’t disclose which accounts it follows, and in some cases, they appear to just be accounts set up by actual Russian entities such as the broadcaster Russia Today.
