Starting to wonder if they purposely picked someone horrible for SCOTUS so that any alternative who *seems* halfway normal will sail right through. #reflexivecontrol Looking back on Kennedy, maybe that’s what happened with him too.
Kennedy was the first choice. At the last minute someone else was advanced as the nominee. That person ended up having to withdraw in disgrace and Kennedy...sailed right through (and helped lay groundwork for the nightmare we’re living).
They focused a lot on possible drug and alcohol use in his vetting. But I wonder if they checked for mob connections?
(Kennedy, that is). Anyway...something to keep in mind as we move forward. I could be completely wrong. In the meantime, here’s info on reflexive control. twitter.com/i/moments/9860…

Look at absof*ckinglutely everything through this lens. This is a literal map of how to how to screw with our minds. With stolen metadata, compromised journalists, DC traitors, and Silicon Valley in their pocket. And they're doing it to help Trump stay in power.
Burn this f*cker into your brain. Anytime they start blowing hot air on TV, acting as though Dems are playing on an even field, remember that map. Remember how much metadata they stole. Remember this OTHER map:
Anytime you read something or hear something that creates a visceral reaction, or social media bar fights...remember that muthaf*ckin' map and maybe wait a beat (or two or twenty) before you dive in. Because getting us to fight with each other is their #1 goal.
FOCUS. Consider that many, many, many distractions will be thrown our way. Look at the provenance of stories as much as the stories themselves. ie - the story that just broke seems to have come from Axios, Maggie Haberman, and clickbaity sites. Do with that what you will.
Also wanted to point out that the site that appears to have first run the ethics probe story on Haley shares ad tech with .tk redirect URLs (the .tk domain is a cesspool of malware) and a republican state senator site. This means: same person behind curtain on all those sites.
So what I'm seeing is the following TL:
-questionable site starts whispers about ethics probe
-Axios "scoops" story
-clickbait sites push out story
-Haberman pushes out story
-orange julius now pushing out story, rather gleefully
Apropos of this news, I'd like to point out that the following three things happened in March 2016:
-Manafort joins the Trump campaign
-Yandex code added to Breitbart site
-server activity starts
Here is Yandex on Breitbart. If you don't know what that is, it's a Russian search engine, and widely thought to be controlled by the Russian government. What this means is that any American visiting a site with Yandex on was possibly digitally tracked by Russia.
“He sometimes asked associates to communicate with him by writing a note and saving it the draft folder of the account”. This is a technique used by terrorists (literally).
“This $100k total with the $50k received from you will allow us to fund the Washington Scholarship Fund for the Russian students for the promised $150K.” Hmmmm. “Students,” huh? chicagotribune.com/news/nationwor…
Worth noting—Smith was found dead: 10 days after talking w/WSJ; 5 days after Trump fires Comey; 4 days after closed-door meeting in the Oval with Russians; 1 month after Cook County + NY judges died mysteriously; 2 months before Hastert released.
I believe: his many other problems, like gambling, debt, temperament, stealing, lying and spying were getting too much attention. I believe: they knew of his history of sexual violence, sat on it, then deployed it as a diversionary weapon.
When you’re an extremist, the ends justify the means.
