HASHTAG LIEGATE The corporate grip on opinion in the United States is one of the wonders of the western world. No first world country has ever managed to eliminate so entirely from its media all objectivity--much less dissent. --GORE VIDAL
The people will be4lieve what the media tells them they believe. GEORGE ORWELL
PUT TRUTH FIRST is supposed to be written into the journalist's job description--Page One; above the fold. The dictatorship's lies to us are magnifications of the lies we tell ourselves. If, we're to stop being conned, we have to quit conning ourselves as a people. The media tells us who to love, who to hate, who to be afraid of, who to trust, what to think and what not to think. Mega-corporate media's power feeds the fear industry which causes an ill informed public's support of wars for profit based on rumors, innuendo, legends and lies. A random glance into history's gossip will substantiate it is not harmless prattle. Wars require deep pockets, considerable human resources and years of planning before the first strike. Cyber war is no different.

REALITY LEIGH WINNER
DECORATED VETERAN REALITY WINNER is a political prisoner charged under the Espionage Act with supplying a four-page *classified document* to an electronic media publication. She faces up to ten years in prison and a $250,000 fine. She is the first whistleblower on GOP and Russian efforts that crash the 2016 US presidential election. *The Espionage Act can make no mention of classified documents. A system of classified documentation doesn't, yet, exist in the United States, when it becomes law in 1917.*
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME the United States is going through with an Espionage Act prosecution. The Act is used more as leverage to threaten prosecution for espionage with options on offer to plead guilty to a lesser charge and months instead of years in prison. In its application of the Espionage Act to Reality Leigh Winner's case, the dictatorship is basically telling Americans, "We will make an example of whistleblowers to show you leaking is a crime-- whatever defense you may pose, we'll still nail you." With, or without cause.
APART FROM WINNER FIVE INDIVIDUALS with security clearances read the same document that she prints out and removes from NSA contractor's *Pluribius* facility--her place of employment in Georgia. The document Winner mails to the media is an NSA best opinion analysis which details the types of software in use to gain access to elections' systems. It contains no information on US intelligence gathering methods nor does it include US Intel agents' names.
TWENTY-SIX YEAR OLD WINNER will stand stand trial this October in Georgia before a jury which won't be apprised of any of the document's content.
The defense isn't permitted to meet privately with its client or allowed to conduct internet searches relative to Senior Airman Reality Leigh Winner. Her case's needs are seemingly beyond ACLU's scope and capabilities since none of the organization's attorneys step up to take on her defense. Political ambition's paranoia would seem to prevent US Representatives and Senators to from heeding their constituents' requests to declassify the four-page document and/or call a committee hearing on Winner's predicament.
NPR Democracy NOW'S veteran journalist Amy Goodman is the strongest voice in the media to address the inhumananity surrounding Winner's circumstances. Winneris the first victim of the first north American dictatorship's war on leakers.
THOSE DAYS WHEN The Intercept could be said to possess courage or journalistic ethic belong to an ill gone past. Although, a likely disappointment for the web publication's once and former readship, Winner's misplaced trust in the media outfit causes the honored vet to lose her freedom to a Lincolnton, Georgia, jail.
JUNE 3, 2017-- Winner's Miranda Rights are not read to her at the time she is taken into voluntary custody from inside her home following long hours of "exceedingly friendly" interrogation by government agents. Held without bail since June 3, 2017, Winner is isolated, frequently denied approved visitors, needed medical attention and decent nutrition.
DRAGGING in 21st century slang is a blend of sarcasm and cautionary humor particular to the internet natives' demographic born to a post 911 world that cut its teeth on social media. Like, any veteran who serves his or her country, Winner possesses a keen understanding of the complex role the United States commands in our contemporary world. Her Facebook wordplay dragging the American dictatorship and its most prominent personality form the basis given by a US Magistrate judge in Georgia for denying Winner bail.
THE FED'S JUDGE IGNORES WINNER'S patriotism and misconstrues her linguistic talents --honed at the prestigious Monterrey Institute-- as proof of sympathy for the Taliban. Winner's fluency in Farsi causes the judge to deem her capable of sneaking off to join a religious war staged by fanatics and Afghani drug lords against the United States--the country Winner loves, is trained and is sworn under oath to protect with her very life.
ORANGE FASCISM'S barking mouthpieces' contend Winner knowingly places US national security at risk in making public the NSA best opinion piece on Russia's active measures to access the US election systems' registration via the voting industry's software vendors, voter registration lists and local election officials through Russian agents, software and malware.
ORANGE LEGAL'S argument in October's kangaroo court will be simple: Winner helps herself to a classified document, she gives it to persons not authorized to see classified documents. Should the prosecution set precedent with this travesty of justice, there will be no defense going forward for the Intel community's professionals with clearance to classified information. No matter how minor the leak, the maximum sentence will be 10 years served and a quarter-million dollar fine-- unless the individual is a Beltway insider leaking on orders from a Russia friendly, orange dictator.
SPRING 2018 --- The Georgia court nixes forty out of forty-one subpoenas Winner requests that would serve to summon specific states' secretaries, tech companies, federal offices and government agencies. GOVERNMENT: CIA; Department of Defense; National Archives Records Administration; National Security Council; Office of the Director of National Intelligence; White House Office; U. S. Department of Homeland Security. STATES: Alabama; Alaska; Arizona; California; Colorado; Connecticut; Delaware; Florida; Illinois; Indiana; Iowa; Maryland; Minnesota; North Dakota; Ohio; Oregon; Oklahoma; Pennsylvania; Texas; Virginia; Washington; Wisconsin. PRIVATE SECTOR: TrendMicro,Inc.; FireEye,Inc.; Eset Company; CrowdStrike,Inc; Volexity, LLC; F-Secure Corporation; ThreatConnect, Inc.; Motherboard; Secureworks, Inc.; Fidelis Cybersecurity and *two others.

HASHTAG UNHACK THE VOTE
Democracy For Sale Or Rent By Government For Hire
AMERICANS HAVE THE RIGHT TO VOTE-- a vote has the inherent right to be accurately counted. Changes to election procedures are a matter of up most urgency if hardening vote security is the goal.
ELECTION 2016 is a forgery of We The People's signature aka Democracy.
Suppressing and robbing our votes steals our future from our children. We will not stand for this. When, facsist parties--both, foreign and domestic--plagiarize Democracy, we rightly take extreme offense.
¤All voting machines are susceptible to computer viruses which spread malicious software automatically and invisibly from machine to machine during routine pre- and post-election activity. Malicious software running on a single voting machine can steal votes with little if any risk of detection.
¤Princeton University put together demonstration software that carries out vote-stealing attacks and proves malicious software can modify all records, audit logs, and counters kept by a voting machine. By design, the Princeton demo virus' vote-stealing program stealthily contaminates each machine it spreads to so very well that even, careful forensic examination of these thus infected machines' voting records will find nothing amiss.
¤Anybody, with physical access to a voting machine can install malicious software in as little as minute. It takes even less time in cyberspace.

HASTAG THE RESISTANCE
Unprecedented times call for unprecedented actions. Whataboutisms are passive aggressive annoyances that waste everybody's time and energy. The 2016 election is a fake. Everyone knows this--- including those who swear it's not. It's time to take it to the streets in peaceful protest.
THE RESISTANCE is remarkably absent from the orange-squeezed media's day to day coverage. This inclusive movement merits a national news desk in earned media alone. Major media lies by omission-- every American media outlet and newspaper of record underplays the US resistance phenomenon's national reach and its global appeal. We are a grieving nation desperately in need of hope and unity in order to stay in rhythm going forward, together. The Resistance is that hope--that, living, breathing entity oxygenated by our faith in each other as decent people aware democracy needs us front and center if there's to be a livable future secured for our children and our planet. Resistance isn't politics--it's human dignity in protest, it's survival.
It's an open secret many members of Congress and the Senate are complicit in the crimes committed against our democracy's process in November, 2016. The guilty collective intends on obstructing justice by all and any means-- some of them legal, others, not even close. Robert Mueller and Rob Rosenstein walk a tight rope, everyday. The dictator could cut them both off at the knees, anytime he chooses. When, or, if Mueller's investigation finishes, it will fall to Congress to decide what to do with its conclusions--including, sweet nada thing. We are treason's victims. We shall not be deprived of our right to know the truth.
HASHTAG TAKE A KNEE Racism is the greatest American tragedy, prolonged by its killer denial. Racism murders and harms lives with untold cruelties, everyday, across the country. Weaponized race hate has no place on any police force in the United States. A cop who makes a fatal mistake that takes a life might pray to his or her god for forgiveness and call a shrink's office for help to deal with the night terrors that are sure to follow. The racist cop that kills his or her dark complected target and gets away with the murder will do it, again--time and time, again.
Major media outlets cover American celebrities whom are not squeaky-white as long as these stars adhere to the confines of "know your place." It's "Open Season" on those who don' self-censure for the public. The most recent example is Colin Kaepernick using his stardom to advocate for nonviolence and to protest US police brutality. Kaepernick's taking a knee in honor of the lives slain by racially motivated police during the US national anthemn unleashes an orangified ink spill that floods the American consciousness. The orange back splash's splatter invariably sticks to a racist, fossilized contingent among professional sports' ownership and an indignant White House occupant. When, the spin fiddlers to try to turn Kaepernick's courage and humanity against him, it blows up in fascism's face. Kaepernick knows his rights, he also posseses what it takes to survive his life's impact on others. His reach is global, it's quite telling the inimitable Harry Belafonte choses to mentor him and Amnesty International to honor him.
ALTOrange online's disinformation virus plagues the resistance's national dialogue. Doxxing, phishing, hacking and trolling resistance supporters' Twitter and Facebook accounts is routine practice for these web poser divas, who aren't exactly citizen-journalist volunteers. More than one social media swizzle-shtick propagandist is signed with America's oldest PR firm gone global--Foote, Cone And Belding aka FCB. MAGA'S radicalized supremacists, christianist nativists and the women that love them are an online menace that takes hate to a new found level. The dictator's dog-whistling presidency serves as the distracting lie, the slight of hand to the Republicans emptying the public purse into their pockets and dismantling the United States' government.
TOO MANY BULLETS, MOZART-- US weapons' manufacturers produce the guns that kill our kids in schools, music lovers at concerts, in restaurants, on American sidewalks and in our backyards--24/7. NRA lobby's blood money owns much of US Congress and several states' governors. One of the shrillest voices online belongs to NRA flunkies ripe with bogus patriotism, busily sucking their thumbs on the flag like it's some binky-babu-blanky a two-year old refuses to go to sleep without. US gun culture mentality breeds human tragedy. Our thinking on gun ownership urgently requires updating if we're going to put a full stop to inconceivable horrors of gun violence that steal lives and rip apart hearts. We cannot continue like this. FULL STOP.

WHERE ARE THE CHILDREN
US Immigration is a cold hell run by a hierarchy of gatekeepers and jackals. There can be no excuse for warehousing babies, toddlers and kids in locked cages after they are kidnapped from their parents at the United States boarder. ALTBibleTrumpees are cool with this atrocity, the latest expression of racism carried out by the evil at the dictatorship's beck and call. The harm being caused in these young lives is unforgiving and as immeasurable as the hells their mothers and fathers are suffering. We, either, put a stop to it or live with it as one of our shared history's darkest hours.
