John Lewis & Donald Trump All Talk

Words Have Weight

By Matthew Bright

Congressman John Lewis boldly made a claim that has everyone thinking. "I don't not see Donald Trump as a legitimate President."
Which of course led to a Twitter punch from President D.T. saying this:

Congressman John Lewis should spend more time on fixing and helping his district, which is in horrible shape and falling apart (not to......

mention crime infested) rather than falsely complaining about the election results. All talk, talk, talk - no action or results. Sad!

Alright, let's take a look at John Lewis's District, according to Pulitzer Prize winning website Politifact.com the claim is mostly false.

Now, it does seem outrageous that he would call the President illegitimate right? I mean who would ever question a President's legitimacy?

Donald Trump, on Twitter at least 16 times, according to this collection of Tweets Slate.com found questioning Former President Barack Obama's citizenship also known as "The Birther Tweets."

John Lewis on the far right marching with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. 

Birther Tweets, it's sound more like eggs that hatched Twitter. Donald Trump goes on to say Congressmen Lewis is all talk. Now to be fair, he's a politician so he's certainly some portion of talk or even a healthy slice of talk, but all talk would be pretty hard to show on a pie chart of John Lewis with all that Civil Rights activism, Selma March, and  Sit-in on the the House Floor taking up space not to mention these five amazing things reported by heavy.com


John Lewis is a civil rights icon and a living piece of history. So Mr. President even if he is all talk, his words have weight and they might have just fell on you. You just can't handle the pressure.

Hillary Clinton a Murderer?

by Matthew Bright

"Fake News" it's been thrown around after the fact as a way to explain the election results.

How we can be better informed is now the center of the conversation. 

Let's see what fake news is out there. 

I went on to Wikileaks recently and searched "Hillary Clinton Murder" because I had heard that particular claim on many social media sites and alternate news organizations

and I got a hit....

Of a forwarded message.....

The original message from Stratfor, a shell company giving intelligence to corporations like Lockheed Martin ( Which is probably the bigger story here) 

Shows a web of informers, pay-off structure and payment laundering techniques and psychological methods. Yet no one even bats an eye at that part of the document leak, but wait what's this say about Hillary Clinton? 

The forward says "Question conspiracy theory"  then forwarded "so now you might vote for Hillary. 

Forwarded messages where the original message is something someone typed out with the address Thomas Coplin or tcins1@comcast.net and someone with stratfor forwarded. That's it. The whole email thread. Thanks Tom. 

Slate puts out the article "Wikileaks Fanning conspiracy flames"

Huffington Post "Conspiracy Theorists won't stop accusing The Clintons of Murder"

Yea that's what they do HuffPo, they theorize and accuse. 

Slate, Wikileaks ain't fanning shit, you did by not calling the email what it is. A chain letter amongst 30,000 emails.There's bound to be some emails like: "look at what Julie is wearin?" or "Discount on Yankee's Tix!" The email is authentic doesn't make it credible when it's just typed by a guy who connects the dots to nowhere!  look at it! It was started by a Comcast.net account, who does that?! Forwarded messages with crazy subject lines, that is not new! 

An entire narrative of Hillary being a murderer was created by this email. 

Look, you want some suggestions, I got two sure fire ones Glen Greenwald and The Intercept the reporting done there is absolutely impeccable and unbiased. 

In the words of one John Stewart "Bullshit is everywhere so if you smell something, say something."
