Cambridge whistle blower told House Dems Bannon directed staff to test messaging in 2014 about Putin

Mike Memoli @mikememoli 2:36 PM - Apr 25, 2018

NEW: Cambridge whistle blower told House Democrats Tuesday that Steve Bannon directed staff to test messaging in 2014 about Vladmir Putin and Russian expansion in Eastern Europe.

Chris Wylie said it was unusual because it was the only foreign leader they tested. "I can't explain why it was that they picked Vladmir Putin."

Wylie called Cambridge "a full service propaganda machine" and said it also focused, at Bannon's urging, on messaging that would discourage Democratic turnout.

that just isn't there. Didn't HRC say that 25 years ago and was literally harpooned for it? It's been around a long time. Imagine how deep these types of things go? 25 years and infinite private dollars garnered from unregulated corporate greed, tax cuts, off-shoring profits, ad infinitum.
Republican government redistributing wealth to themselves and corporate cronies via legislation, and Citizens United.
Americans...just keep paying your taxes though. They're businessmen so.....they KNOW finances etc. This is a major push to eliminate Democracy as we know it...while they can.
They HAD to have the Supreme Court pick to make all of it roll, and insure no turn-around on Citizens United. Who ever heard of denying a President a SC pick like that? The whole rw is rotten.
Karl Rove.."Politics as War", and Ayn Rand, mixed w Bannons Chaos Theory. It's ugly.
