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?

Here is a story linking unions to cards to Nancy Pelosi's home state of California in a crazy way. I think it says that the state govt. was trying to lure union employees into a scam... what???

I wonder if they use prepaid debit cards to pay off cleanup workers.
