A Closer Look At Paul Blumenthal’s Article on Sally Albright’s Attack Bots: He’s Still Serving Hillary… Like Father Like Son

by Scott Creighton

Yesterday, Jimmy Dore did a video talking about, what everybody else seems to be talking about, which is this new article on the Huffington Post which purports to expose one Sally Albright as a Bernie-hating hack who uses social media megaphoning techniques to attack left-leaning progressives who dare voice an opinion about things that is in conflict with the establishment line of thinking. Albright was an Obama lover and supporter of Hillary Clinton’s campaign in 2016. She also worked for Clinton at one time.

It’s a trendy topic right now and it seems lots of folks are sharing links to the HuffPuff piece. They shouldn’t because its propaganda. Instead, they should go straight to the original source of the information, here. Much better reference without the “Russian attacked us” disinfo that you will find at the other one.

“Unsurprisingly, Sally Albright was the most retweeted account overall. She retweeted herself 30939 times from 63 unique sockpuppet accounts. This amounted to 15.6% of the 190k total tweets collected. In the first six weeks of 2018, she managed to retweet herself an average of 559 times per day” Trevor on ShareBlue Astroturfing Sockpuppets

This is how Jimmy Dore and Ron Placone ended their video segment discussing the article:

Jimmy: Thats a fun story and good work over to that guy Trevor and uh… and who is the gentleman over at Hufffington Post who put this together. Let me give him a shout out.

Ron P: Yeah, cus this one has been spreading like wildfire. A lot of people have been sharing this article.

(spreading like maybe… bots were sharing it perhaps?)

Jimmy:  His name is uh.. Paul Blumenthal. Nice work by Paul Blumenthal.

Jimmy, Steph and Ron just promoted a limited hangout article written by one of Sidney Blumenthal’s sons. Sidney, a long-time Clinton asset and hatchet-man, still serves the Clinton dynasty, as does his sons… both of them… Paul and Max.

“Sidney Blumenthal lives today in a four-bedroom house on a leafy block in the Glover Park neighborhood of Washington, D.C. His wife, Jacqueline, the former director of the White House Fellows program during the Clinton years, is a member of an advisory neighborhood commission and a direct-mail fund-raising consultant. They have two sons: Max, 38, a writer for AlterNet, a progressive online news outlet, and Paul, 34, a reporter for the Huffington Post.” Vanity Fair, 2016

” The 51-year-old former journalist has two sons, Max and Paul, with wife Jacqueline Beth Jordan.” New York Daily News, 2000

Paul has written several articles recently promoting the false narrative that Russia interfered with our democracy here in the states. In fact the one he wrote just before this one was titled “Russian Trolls Used This One Weird Trick To Infiltrate Our Democracy. You’ll Never Believe Where They Learned It.” .

In this latest article which Dore and company seem very eager to promote for Sidney Blumenthal’s son, Paul comes right out of the gate with this Hillary-backing propaganda (which Jimmy and Ron completely ignore):

“When Russians at the Internet Research Agency interfered in U.S. politics…” Paul Blumenthal, Mar. 14 2018

You see, the sons of Sidney Blumenthal have their jobs with those two controlled opposition “alternative” publications for a reason: to promote daddy’s various propaganda agendas from within the progressive community. Apparently that’s something that Jimmy Dore and his friend Ron Placone haven’t quite figured out yet. But I did… long ago.

Killing Strangers: Benghazi and the Blumenthal Trio June 2015

Sidney Blumenthal was running around in Libya in 2012 just before and after the attack at the CIA compound that left 4 U.S. citizens dead. He was there trying to drum up business for the Clinton Foundation, getting paid something like $20,000 a month for his efforts. He was also there serving the State Department and Hillary Clinton in particular as the color revolution unfolded. He had with him a couple of Deep State assets who helped him in his efforts. One was Tyler Drumheller, a former CIA destabilization campaign expert. He died of cancer right before he was to testify before the Benghazi Commission.

In fact, Sidney leaked the fake story about the “protest turned deadly” to his son Max who immediately wrote about it and then Hillary cited that story as a source when she repeatedly lied for weeks about what really happened that day. During which time, Max Blumenthal did the network news circuit propping up the lie that emails later proved Hillary and her cronies (like Sidney) KNEW was a LIE from DAY ONE.

“On Sept. 12, 2012, Max Blumenthal wrote an article in which he claimed the motive for the attack against the compound in Benghazi was Muslim outrage against a short film called “Innocence of the Muslims” crafted by a self-proclaimed Jew named Sam Bacile.

It’s interesting to note that earlier this month it was revealed that Hillary Clinton forwarded a link to this article on the afternoon of Sept. 12 to a colleague less than two hours after Max posted it. It is not known how she came to find this article or who sent to her in the first place. That part of the story has been redacted.

Max quickly went around the TV circuit doing interviews telling folks about “Sam Bacile” and the video which supposedly sparked the outrage.

Max quickly became a front-man for the narrative. A false narrative” Scott Creighton, Killing Strangers

Think of Max Blumenthal and his brother Paul as Sidney’s sleeper-cells in the alternative press. When needed, he will activate them and they will promote whatever agenda or narrative daddy wants them to promote… because he’s the reason they got the cushy jobs in the first place.

Sidney Blumenthal loved the Clintons and has served them most of his life. He was the one who REALLY started the “birtherism” thing back when Hillary was running against Barack Obama for the 2008 Democratic Party nomination. Sidney also seemed to have something to do with the Christopher Steele “Golden Shower” dossier.  And what he and the Clinton machine did to Monica Lewinsky, trying to paint her as a stalker and blackmailer, should have landed him in jail.

This latest article is full of “Russians did it too” disinformation. It’s shoveled into the article like Paul Blumenthal’s yearly bonus depends on it. And yet somehow Jimmy Dore and Ron Placone still promote the article. Makes you think, doesn’t it?

Here is another article from Feb. 16, 2018 where Paul backs the bullshit “Russians interfered with our election” myth.

Paul also normalizes and justifies strategy of tension campaign run by Mic.com, targeting young people and using racism, sexism and homophobia as a means by which to stoke anger and hostility in this country:

“Noble intentions often lie behind the outrage stories that media companies have found to be successful. Pointing out the racism, sexism and homophobia of powerful actors is good for readership and good for humanity, too…

Mic, in The Outline’s telling, was just such a case. Long before the site made a much-mocked “pivot to video” — more lambs sacrificed to the gods of Facebook — news writers there were often provided with topics and keywords they were ordered to use in the hopes of goosing attention on social media sites. The owners pushed the production of divisive content not because they believed in the cause, although much of the staff did, but because it helped them sell the company to investors.
