did you read my post Let’s look at one more poll, from Monmouth University from September 23-29. The sample was better than the above two polls, favoring Democrats by only four points, 30 percent Democrat and 26 percent Republican. Such a sample produced a different result too. When asked if President Trump should be impeached and removed from office, 44 percent said yes compared with 52 percent saying no.

Facebook Tells Biden's Propaganda Campaign It Won't Remove Other Propaganda From The Platform Print Authored by Mac Slavo via SHTFplan.com, Social media giant Facebook has rejected the Joe Biden campaign’s request to remove Trump ads containing “false information.” Considering most, if not all political ads contain false information only designed to persuade voters, this can be boiled down to Facebook refusing a propaganda campaign’s demand to remove other propaganda. Even though political propaganda will be allowed, Facebook is going to continue to silence conservatives, or anyone else posting “fake news.” In a letter to Joe Biden’s presidential campaign, Facebook doubled down on its policy to allow speech from politicians to go unchecked regardless of the truthfulness of their claims, according to a report by CNBC. The above letter, which was originally obtained by The New York Times, was a response to Democrat Joe Biden’s campaign request for Facebook to reject or demote ads from President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign that contain false claims (in other words, all ads). The Biden campaign’s original request to Facebook, addressed to CEO Mark Zuckerberg, COO Sheryl Sandberg and global elections policy chief Katie Harbath, pointed to an ad by the Trump campaign that contains a statement that has not been proven by evidence that the former vice president “offered Ukraine $1 billion to fire the prosecutor investigating a company affiliated with his son.” Other propaganda outlets, such as CNN, have refused to air the ad, with a spokesperson telling NBC News last week, “it does not meet our advertising standards,” and that “the ad makes assertions that have been proven demonstrably false by various news outlets.” You mean, news outlets like CNN and MSNBC? Try not to laugh when thinking about just how asinine that statement really if… liberal biased media outlets are now the sole purveyors of truth in the USSA. Facebook reiterated its recently-stated policy of taking a hands-off approach to any speech by politicians while making sure to squash the speech of those under the thumb of said politicians. “Our approach is grounded in Facebook’s fundamental belief in free expression, respect for the democratic process, and the belief that in mature democracies with a free press, political speech is already arguably the most scrutinized speech there is,” Harbath wrote. “Thus, when a politician speaks or makes an ad, we do not send it to third-party fact-checkers.” Facebook is going to make sure that the slaves will still get information and lies from all sides depending on the letter used behind a politician’s name. However, they will make sure that speech by those who dissent or buck the official narrative are silenced. Politicians literally have more rights than the general population now, and we all know how that ends…

JUSTICE! Major Trump leaker ARRESTEDOCTOBER 10, 2019 LINKEDINTWITTER President Donald Trump’s administration has been plagued by leakers since the president was sworn into office — and the White House is fighting back. A major intelligence agency leaker who prosecutors say was directed “by members of the media” was welcomed to work on Wednesday with a pair of handcuffs, the Justice Department said. A Defense Intelligence Agency official was arrested and charged with leaking classified intelligence information to two journalists, including a reporter he was dating. [Breaking] Man makes Incredible Discovery At Ark’s Final Resting Place [sponsored] Henry Kyle Frese, 30, was arrested by the FBI when he arrived at work at a DIA facility in Virginia. He was charged with willfully disclosing national defense information. Frese, who has a top-secret government security clearance, is alleged to have accessed at least five classified intelligence reports and provided top-secret information about another country’s weapons systems to the reporter with whom he was having a relationship. The arrest is the latest in a series of prosecutions under the Trump administration of government workers accused of providing nonpublic information to journalists. In 2017, then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions pledged to take a stand against leaks, and the Justice Department has brought at least six leak investigation cases in the past two years. Sponsored: Have you taken this in the past 20 years? Neither reporter was identified by name in court documents, but an analysis of news articles and social media posts indicates they are Amanda Macias of CNBC and Courtney Kube of NBC News. Those posts include a photo of Macias and Frese on Instagram from 2017. The Justice Department declined to provide any additional details about the classified information that was leaked, but the articles focused on China’s missile systems. The reporter, believed to be Macias, published eight articles containing classified defense information between May and July of last year, prosecutors said. In April 2018, after Frese accessed one of the intelligence reports, she sent him a private message on Twitter asking if he would be willing to speak with another journalist who prosecutors said worked at another outlet owned by the same company, court documents said. The second journalist is believed to be Kube. Sponsored: Have you tried this finger trick? Frese replied that he would help if it could help advance the first reporter’s career because he wanted to see her “progress,” according to the documents. The government also intercepted a call in September during which Frese allegedly read classified national defense information to the second journalist, the documents say. “Frese betrayed the trust placed in him by the American people — a betrayal that risked harming the national security of this country,” said Assistant Attorney General John Demers, who leads the Justice Department’s national security division. Federal investigators believe Frese was “taking direction from members of the media” because he had searched for the intelligence documents that were outside of his area of expertise, according to Alan Kohler, the special agent in charge of counterintelligence at the FBI’s field office in Washington. Biden humiliated by brilliant woman [sponsored] Although officials would not rule out the possibility of bringing criminal charges against the journalists, the top prosecutor whose office is prosecuting the case said investigators are “focused on the leaker, not the journalist.” Frese was involved in “dastardly and felonious conduct at the expense of our country,” said G. Zachary Terwilliger, U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia. He said Frese’s behavior was “not selfless or heroic, it is criminal.” It was not immediately clear whether Frese had a lawyer who could comment on his behalf. A message left on Frese’s cellphone was not immediately returned. Frese was expected to make an initial appearance in federal court in Virginia on Thursday. Representatives for CNBC, NBC News, and the Defense Intelligence Agency did not immediately respond to requests for comment. ARRESTED! Mueller probe leaker slapped with charges
