Wife of Pulse nightclub shooter found not guilty.

"The biggest terrorism case of the year collapsed largely thanks to FBI misconduct and deceit."

No surprise.

"The FBI even redacted Mateen’s endorsement of ISIS in the initial transcripts they released of his discussions with hostage negotiators on the night of the shooting.
...
Eleven days after Noor Salman’s trial began, the Justice Department belatedly admitted that the killer’s father, Seddique Mateen, had been a paid FBI informant for 11 years, starting in 2005. Seddique Mateen, who came to America from Afghanistan, produced a pro-Taliban, anti-American Dari language television program."

All top government agents are more inclined to dishonesty than honesty.

Mexico deports 400 illegal immigrants from Guatemala while allowing 1,400 to continue to the US.

Media

Spies tell news people what to report.

"This is also why we see members of the media themselves, like journalists, come out and “blow the whistle,” so to speak. Here is an article I published earlier of 3 popular mainstream media journalists coming forward expressing that these outlets are constantly told what to say, and how to say it from corporate and government/intelligence agency sources.
A declassified document from the CIA archives in the form of a letter from a CIA task force addressed to the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, details the close relationship that exists between the CIA, mainstream media and academia."

This is the source of fake news.

Montgomery County overdose deaths drop to three year low.

Why does the US have to ask for social media info from visa applicants? The NSA already has them. Just check. How could it not be checking them already?

Economy

Facebook, Amazon, Nvidia, and Tesla stocks fall and drop market. Netflix, Google, and Twitter fall too. Is this the trigger?

Bounce back some today.

"Five titans of tech -- Apple (AAPL), Amazon (AMZN), Google (GOOGL) owner Alphabet, Microsoft (MSFT) and Facebook (FB) -- made up nearly a quarter of the market value of the entire S&P 500 as of the end of February.

Facebook, Google and Amazon have fallen sharply because of the possibility of more government regulations on the tech sector. That's dragged down the whole market.

The S&P 500 has fallen 5% in the past two weeks and the Nasdaq has tumbled 6%. Even the Dow, which has Apple, Microsoft, IBM (IBM), Cisco (CSCO) and Intel (INTC) as members, is down more than 3%.
But the market rebounded Thursday, led by solid gains in Facebook, Google and Apple."

And they represent all the gains.

Even CNBC predicts more pain to come.

Amazon yanks erotic romance novels from searches, hurting those authors. On the other hand, some writers were intentionally misrepresenting their books into the wrong categories.

China is developing markets to lessen dependency on US trade. That's bad for us. Trump's tariffs hurt Americans worse than China.

Tax and Spend

Republicans raise spending across the board. No one had time to read the bill. Last November Ryan talked about cutting spending. The same, old criticism is just for show.

"Republicans, it seems, are not really in charge. They’re not really in power. They’re not really the Republicans they pretend to be.
They’re LINOs — Leaders In Name Only, and they’re swimming in the same swamp that Democrats swim, beholden to the same swamp creature as Democrats."

Baloney. This is what Republican are and have been for a century.

Facebook is in trouble when slashdot users are looking for alternatives.

"Facebook's entire ecosystem is predicated on encouraging the manipulation of its users by third parties who posses the skills and financial resources to leverage Facebook's model. These are not aberrations at Facebook -- they are exactly how Facebook was designed to operate."

That's how the CIA wants it.

Zuckerberg wants government to regulate Facebook to take the heat off him. It will also stifle his competition, and he'll write the regulations. Regulation won't fix the Cambridge Analytica problem.
