Corruption rich Snopes going out of business


Posted: Jul 28, 2017

'Fact checking' website Snopes on verge of collapse after founder is accused of fraud, lies, and putting prostitutes and his honeymoon on expenses (and it hasn't told its readers THOSE facts)

  • 'Fact-checking' website Snopes is asking its users for help in a GoFundMe saying an 'outside vendor' is 'holding it hostage' But the site which claims to be 'transparent' and to tell people the facts they need to know hasn't told those donating everything that is going on In fact it is at the center of a bitter legal battle with its CEO being accused of fraud, lies, conspiracy and putting prostitutes and his honeymoon on expenses.

  • David Mikkelson set up company which owns Snopes.com in 2003 with then wife Barbara but she sold her 50 per cent stake during bitter divorce. Owners of company which provided it with tech and advertising services bought her stake but have now fallen out with Mikkelson and call him a fraudster. Case could see judge order site closed - despite it being chosen by Facebook to arbitrate on fake news .

Is There A Limit To Democratic Corruption?Oct 31, 2016
I think just how corrupt the democratic party is will soon be unveiled.  I honestly believe that it will go far further than anyone truly anticipates.  I believe there is an old adage, and my middle aged memory cannot recall it at present...point is, those who scream the loudest generally do so to hide their own guilt.  With the crap heaped upon Mr. Trump and his supporters on the part of the left, I'd say there is definite merit in this statement.  It is going to be ref ...

The Level Of Corruption In This Country Has ReachedAug 03, 2016
To say nothing of sheer incompetence and malfeasance in office, which are separate and apart from the corruption. As the current election cycle has revealed, the power brokers, politicians and bureaucrats on both sides are equally guilty. You and I have no idea who is pulling the strings in the country because most of them have names that none of us would likely recognize, but I know this:  The Great and Powerful Oz standing behind the curtain, representing the elite power structure, i ...

corrupt machine politician in the worst Chicago mold. He used the IRS to silence his enemies, and the Justice Department to protect his friends. His two major "achievements" — a health care law that doesn't work and a deal that increased the power and prestige of the terrorist state of Iran — were built on lies to the public and manipulation of the press. And that's according to his own allies! Only the leftist bias and racial pathology of the media kept his administration from bei ...

Clinton Corruption, Obama Lawlessness Reflect The DegreeAug 26, 2016
Politicians like these have always existed; they come as no surprise. They should have been chased off the public stage by outraged citizens with arrest warrants in hand. Instead, they are not only tolerated but enjoy a substantial measure of public support, despite the grave damage they have done to this nation in ways that number a dozen or more. The fault, dear US, is not in our stars; it is in ourselves. Politicians haven't changed; they've always done whatever they could get ...

And we'd better not elect or re-elect anyone who has been part of the curre ...

SEC Fines GE Over "Oil To Food" Program CorruptionAug 17, 2010
SEC Fines GE over "Oil to Food" Program Corruption   For years, conservatives and constitutionalists have called for the United States to withdraw from the United Nations for a variety of reasons, specifically the United Nations’ notorious anti-Americanism and inefficient-at-best handling of world crises.

While I was growing up, we raised 3 dogs and all lived to be from 14-17 yo. They were always walked several times a day no matter what the weather was. Never did we have them outside in a yard, nor did we have them tied to a tree or anything else. To my parents, tying them up and allowing them be alone outside was just unthinkable. In two weeks, ...
