Scam artist who ripped off Bernie Sanders supporters convicted on federal fraud charges

[Uncle Joe]

A man who used a super PAC to seemingly scam “James Bond” actor Daniel Craig out of nearly $50,000 was convicted Wednesday for separately orchestrating a multimillion-dollar security fraud scheme.

(snip)

In 2015, Peterson launched a super PAC called Americans Socially United to purportedly support Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, who disavowed super PACs.

“Scam PAC runners almost never get punished,” Pennington tweeted. “This man ran a craven, fraudulent super PAC effort targeting vulnerable populations and taking their money under the guise of supporting Bernie’s campaign. Worth noting he was NOT held accountable for his scam PAC, but for his other illegal fraud schemes.”

(snip)

Days after being released from jail for the securities fraud scheme in June 2016, Peterson wasted no time registering two new groups with the FEC: the Alliance Against Disabled Inmate Abuse and a nominally pro-Hillary Clinton super PAC called Democrats Socially United.

1. 2015/16 brought out the scammers from every corner of society's underbelly

"Money & Media" opened the door to fast cash & they piled on en masse.
Every profiteer had a book deal, every profiteer bartered their way to a top MSM News spot.
Manufactured messeges moved faster than the blink of an eye.

It really was all about "Money & Media", truth & country be damned.
Profits were there for the taking, the repeated sensational lie drove the moment for maximum cash reward.
And the truth was buried & silenced.

We honestly do not know what PACS assisted Sanders, since his campaign buried the data as soon as the FEC questioned a $10,000,000 cash dump out of DC.

The books were closed, & his campaign ended.
Just sayin.

"Money & Media" & the fast track to wealth was evident in every form of Media.

Thanks

Here is a good write up of the 10 mill in question.
It was buried as soon as it appeard by the Campaign's dodging of the FEC's questions.
Pretty creative maneuver, eh?

5. But that's NOT what I said.

"It's not new news"
It actually was buried news, well, till now.

Thanks for reminding us of all the ways 2015/16 was about "Money & Media".
People who were unknown & barely known crawled out of the shadows to profit & cash in while the opportunity was 'hot'.

"Money & Media" drove the moment.
And there were even those who proudly mocked their reason for hoppin on the media train, from the President to the PAC scammers to Vlad. Bookmakers to pundits to the unknowns catching hold of their rising stardom & making their debut however they could.
And here we are. yippee $$
Still milkin it till the last drop!
All ya need is a slogan & the Media.


Money $$$

6. Well this being about money and media isn't new news either.

This has been the case for decades of course Citizens United combined with the Telecommunications Act of 1996 made a bad situation even worse insofar as the corporate media conglomerates are concerned.


However I do like that song

7. Bringing Citizen's United to an abrupt end was also in Hilary Clinton's

thorough & presicely detailed campaign policy platform.

Guess some didn't care too much about ending it at the time.
Or maybe they just didn't hear it over the noise of Money & Media.

[Uncle Joe]

8. That was the case for any candidate opposed to Citizens United,

the economically conflicted corporate media conglomerates would have the American People forget about that malignant decision.

They're too enriched by it.

9. Yet odd thing was, Sanders was given more than half the airtime than HRC

He had no platform when he began yet was given plenty the positive airtime to foment a quite similar plan as Hers. Its almost as tho there were only 2 candidate messages being heard fom the Money driven Media. And it wasn't HRC.

CU did indeed silence the strongest threat to their existence.


Money & Media were the driving force behind Trump's win. And millions were distributed & collected to get him there, however they had to do it & whomever they had to buy
The money train chugged on till the mission was complete.
The Liberal Left Democratic Party of our political structure was silenced & an all out global smear campaign paid millons in foreign, & unaccountable dark & mystery PAC money.

Every opportunist's eyes grew big & pockests were filled by the biggest Money & Media driven scam in American history.
America & the great Liberal Left Democratic Party had to be recreated as a negative, & for maximun impact, that messege had to be reiterated 24/7 from every possible Media outlet.

The messegers driving the constant damning preset message sold out America & cashed in.
Acct books were closed, ill-gotten money moved offshore and those unfortunate few that were caught scamming the scammers had a darned good run.
Guess they can always someday write a book about how they almost got away with it all.

Ahh. The great scam of election 2016 was quite a ride.
Money & Media got us where we are today.
Yeah. $$$
Clinton had the most compelling policy plan for this country, prepared & printed & detailed from the day she announced her Pres run.

And THAT was why she was silenced.
A lot was in play in 2015/16 & yrs prior.
We know far more now than we did then & hopefully we'll someday have the truth of who all assisted, for Money & Media, in driving the US into the fascist ditch.


Done here..enjoy your day.
