Guys, I'm thinking there might be something to this horseshoe theory after all.

Do you have any thoughts on this picture of Roger Stone interviewing Gab co-founder Andrew Torba for Infowars, @GH05t0fStew @MicroMAPExpert?

Andrew Torba has an interesting work history, @GH05t0fStew @MicroMAPExpert.

His startup was funded by the Y Combinator. Interesting factoid about YC is that Yuri Milner supplied $150k to each startup, so that means Torba was funded by Yuri Milner.

Yuri Milner is of course backed by Kremlin money. He's also "ex"-Russian intelligence, so we're off to a great start already. Milner is good friends with Mark Zuckerberg.

Funny how often the people "at war with" X and Y are really products of X and Y.

See: Bannon, Steve.

But what was it that Andrew Torba's startup company--funded by Kremlin money--actually did?

Facebook ad campaigns!

“Our grand plan is to automate all of paid media spending on the Internet," said Andrew Torba, co-founder & CEO of Kuhcoon.

Automate, huh?

That sounds like a perfect business partner for the "bot king" of Twitter, doesn't it?

I wonder how all of this came together @GH05t0fStew @MicroMAPExpert?

"MicroChip added automation to these dedicated DM groups..."

Automation! Bots Bots Bots! #MAGA

By the way, the thing I love about the ridiculous BuzzFeed article on Microchip is how it has to be the Russians OR Americans.

Who says it can't be Russians working with Roger Stone who's working with Americans like Torba & @GH05t0fStew / @MicroMAPExpert?

#WhoFundsGhostOfStew

Anywho, I was talking about automation and bots bots bots, right?

Wouldn't you know it, Andrew Torba decided to change his company's name from 'Kuhcoon' to 'Automate Ads'.

It's almost like there's a pattern!

We see the same group of Alt-Right goons who are funded by the Kremlin over and over and over again.

Point is, @GH05t0fStew @MicroMAPExpert, when Andrew Torba helped with your Op "Titty Twister" it wasn't a one time deal, was it? It was just you guys amping up the same game you were already playing.

Because you've been in business together for years.

Ty for the assist, Doug.😎

I spent some more time thinking about this, and it seems to me this detail has to be noted. Gab was founded in August 2016, and around that time, Andrew Torba decided to leave Silicon Valley and setup shop in Austin, Texas.

Why Austin? Is it because Alex Jones is in Austin too?

Is it related to Jared Kushner contacting Cambridge Analytica and building a data hub in Austin, Texas "that would complement the RNC's data hub"?

Did Andrew Torba decide to run Gab from Austin, Texas because Harris Media is based there too?

I believe these are fair questions to ask. Every single one of these groups pushes the same far-right, pro-Kremlin message to support Trump.

Infowars' Alex Jones is on Gab, and he promotes Gab too.

Infowars' Alex Jones is still active and posting blatant Kremlin propaganda on Gab as of yesterday, and Andrew Torba has been on Infowars several times.

An interesting detail to remember in all this:

When Dana Rohrabacher traveled to the Ecuadorian embassy in London to visit WikiLeaks / Julian Assange, who did he take with him?

Chuck Johnson, seen here interviewing Gab's Andrew Torba.

I have many more questions, but I keep coming back to Austin, Texas.

Who's there again?

Gab's Andrew Torba.
Harris Media.
Kushner's "data hub".
Silicon Valley Bank.
A Trump campaign "office" that was a mailbox.
Infowars / Alex Jones.
Roger Stone does Infowars shows there too.

But do you know who else had a "front-line profiling team in Austin, Texas" on the night of the 2016 election?

Cambridge Analytica.

Who did Jared Kushner contact before he supposedly built an "Austin data hub" for Trump's campaign?

Cambridge Analytica.

forbes.com/sites/parmyols…

"Nix, who heads Cambridge Analytica, told a third party that he reached out to Assange about his firm somehow helping the WikiLeaks editor release Clinton’s missing emails."

There sure are a lot of "coincidences" involving Alt-Right friends who like to push Kremlin propaganda.
