This is in response to this post: https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1888867 ... I've left the following text in the comments there, but somehow I felt this might be too important to be overlooked. Maybe it's nothing, and maybe it is ... so here we go:
NotFBIAnon left a clue as to the connection between Podesta, Media Matters and the SEIU in the form of a screenshot of the WikiPedia entry on Media Matters. http://i.4cdn.org/pol/1495582760005.png
Note the following line:
"In 2014, the staff of Media Matters voted to join the Service Employees International Union (SEIU). Media Matters management had declined to recognize the union through a CARD CHECK process, instead exercising its right to force a union election."
What did FBIAnon say about "the cards" being important? Apparently, in 2014, the management of Media Matters (hello Mr. Brock) opposed joining a labour union on the basis of a "card check". Instead, management forced a union election, the outcome of which was that Media Matters joined the SEIU. Many employees felt betrayed by their management:

All this implies that, based on card checks, Media Matters would have (maybe) had to join a different union than the SEIU. Since management put a stop to this course of affairs, this means that, somehow, management was not happy about the potential outcome of a card check, or management somehow had a preference for the SEIU. Maybe because the SEIU gave them the most money: http://workerfreedom.org/hypocrisy-matter-media-matters ... which casts doubts on the integrity of the union election. Seeing as how this company is run by David Brock, this should not surprise anyone.
Maybe all this means nothing, and I actually don't know shit about how unions operate in the US, but the words "card check" got me triggered. So ... what happened here in 2014? Which MM employees felt betrayed, and why? Why was MM management so keen on the SEIU that they risked all this bad press? What alternative outcome of the card check process did MM management want to avoid, and why? What employees within MM had their feathers ruffled over this?

Info taken from redstate article: http://www.redstate.com/laborunionreport/2014/04/16/seiu-petitions-obama-nlrb-unionize-lefts-media-matters/ "On April 10th, the SEIU filed an election with the Baltimore region of the National Labor Relations Board to have an election for 50 employees working for the George Soros-funded media “monitor.”
. More: "According to the National Labor Relations Board’s website, Media Matters has hired the high-priced, management-side law firm of Perkins Coie,,Although former Obama White House Counsel Bob Bauer is a partner in the firm, Perkins Coie’s website boasts of helping employers in all aspects of traditional labor law".
Interesting tidbit on lawfirm Perkins Coie related to DNC WikiLeaks/Seth Rich case:
http://www.conservativehq.com/article/25713-what-fbi-should-be-investigating-death-dnc-staffer-seth-rich "Instead of the FBI’s computer crimes forensics section, the DNC and its law firm Perkins Coie choose instead to turn to CrowdStrike"
I don't have any basis for this, but could it be that some of his "clean-up" men were among the group of 50 employees ? Was he trying to keep their exposure level down?
