 07 October 19 We Won't Cut You Off, But We Do Need Your Help
How many people out there have been cut off by a corporate service provider for not paying their bill? Most likely everyone, at one time or another for one reason or another. In the 15 years we have been doing this we have never cut anyone off for not paying...and we never will.
We go the far harder route of earning your support through our efforts on your behalf.
Our challenge is find a way to pay the organization's bills. The bills are relatively small, but we do have to pay them. If you are not an active donor please join those who are.
Onward.

FOCUS: Jane Mayer | The Invention of the Conspiracy Theory on Biden and Ukraine
Jane Mayer, The New Yorker
Mayer writes: "For nearly two years, conservative operatives have been trying to weaponize the Ukraine-based story that has led Trump to the brink of impeachment."

EXCERPT:
Anyone trying to track the Ukrainian conspiracy stories that were eventually embraced by President Trump is likely to get mired in the same echo chamber of right-wing news purveyors that misinformed voters in 2016. A pivotal source of the allegations against the Bidens, for instance, is the Government Accountability Institute, a Florida-based opposition-research operation that was founded by the former Trump political adviser Stephen Bannon—the same conservative nonprofit that ginned up questionable stories about the Clintons during the last Presidential campaign. In both instances, much of the coverage of the scandal was kicked off by Peter Schweizer, a longtime conservative political writer who is an editor-at-large at Breitbart News and the president of the Government Accountability Institute. Since its founding, in 2012, the group has largely been funded with millions of dollars in tax-exempt donations from the family foundation of the New York hedge-fund magnate Robert Mercer, who was a major donor to Trump’s 2016 campaign. In the organization’s most recently available I.R.S. tax filings, for 2017, Mercer’s daughter Rebekah is listed as the board chairman.
