Purple Revolution

Many people wondered (myself included) during Hillary Clinton’s concession speech, why her and Bill had decided to both wear purple. Was it coincidence, perhaps to show unity for Donald Trump (blue for the Democratic Party, and red for the Republicans), or perhaps it’s just one of her favourite colours.

Well, wonder no more. The Purple Revolution has announced that it’s planning their first event, the Million Women March. A tad sexist, perhaps, but no one else seems to mind.

It came as no surprise to me, to find that the initiative is being funded by the Clintons and their campaign contributing friend George Soros, of the Black Lives Matter movement. There goal, is to unite the country (against Trump), which isn’t very democratic, and isn’t very grassroots either.

The revolution is aimed to help “Americans to Come Together in Hundreds Peaceful Gatherings of Solidarity, Resistance, and Resolve Following Election Results

Hundreds of Americans, dozens of organizations to gather peacefully outside the White House and in cities and towns nationwide to take a continued stand against misogyny, racism, Islamophobia, and xenophobia.

Tonight, thousands of Americans will come together at hundreds of peaceful gatherings in cities and towns across the nation, including outside the White House, following the results of Tuesday’s presidential election.

The gatherings – organized by MoveOn.org and allies – will affirm a continued rejection of Donald Trump’s bigotry, xenophobia, Islamophobia, and misogyny and demonstrate our resolve to fight together for the America we still believe is possible.

Within two hours of the call-to-action, MoveOn members had created more than 200 gatherings nationwide, with the number continuing to grow on Wednesday afternoon.”

But through the eyes of us here at Media Watch, it just seems to be another ploy to divide the country. The goal here, is to foment the country and overthrow the Trump era government.

We’ll be keeping close attention to these protests in the coming days, weeks, months and reporting on things from an unbiased perspective.

Donna Brazile and the Project Veritas clips

It’s a cold one here in the Capital, but I’m off today and tomorrow, so you’ll get a double dose this week (the second posting will be on Saturday morning), so strap in there’s a lot to cover.

Firstly, it was suggested by one of our readers to go more in depth on the Donna Brazile controversy. I touched on it briefly in the last post regarding her possible DNC charter breach, but also felt there was a need to explore the topic in a broader sense.

For those who don’t know Donna Brazile, she’s a CNN political correspondent. Also a part time actress appearing on shows like the Good Wife, playing herself (how quaint.)

Where things get a little blurry here, is that she had taken leave from CNN to become interim chairperson of the Democratic National Committee in July 2016, filling in for disgraced former chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who if you remember, was implicated in the smear campaign against Democratic hopeful, Bernie Sanders.

Connect the dots a little further, and you’ll find that CNN is still paying Donna’s wages. A direct conflict of interest? Yes.

Things get murkier still, when a leaked Podesta email allegedly shows Brazile may have provided a word for word question to Hillary the day before a March 13th TV One town hall debate, on the death penalty.

The week that was got entertaining as Fox journalist Megyn Kelly sits down with Brazile to discuss Project Veritas (more about this below), and the debate question controversy. Which you can watch here.

My favourite part was Donna referring to her as Kelly, and Megyn asking her why she’s dodging question (on whether she provided debate questions), and Donna replying that she doesn’t play dodgeball, only basketball.

Proof is in the pudding, as my mum would say.

Project Veritas videos

Like something out of a movie, comes this revelation that Clinton operatives were providing thousands of dollars behind the scenes to actors at Trump rallies to stir up shit.

The term referred to in the clips as bird dogging, pays people to show up early to the debates so they’re at the front, where they’ll be seen on tv. Part two has them causing fights and infighting violence to defame Trump supporters.

The 16:26 first part clip goes into detail of how $20,000 was sent from an off-shore account to pay for the services of these actors, some of them as the video touches on are homeless or mentally ill.

In the first video Scott Fogul, a freelance writer for the Huffington Post, and former field director for Americans United for Change (he was fired after these videos released), is caught on camera explaining the process.

Scott previously worked for People for the American Way, which is heavily funded by Hillary Clinton supporter George Sorors.
