I am a citizen investigator exposing a cover-up: David Brock pays a guy to spread disinformation on many sites, including this one. I call him HLI, but he has used many "sockpuppet" identities including HighLevelInsider, Senate Anon, and Wisconsin_Is_Corrupt. He is also the YouTuber "Tory Smith". See my submission history for all my reports to date.

My Day 2 submission focused on David Brock's Media Matters organization. It pointed to two flows of illegally diverted cash, either of which could pay for the social media disinfo operation run by HLI.

Day 2 didn't get so many viewers, probably because "money trail" makes people's eyes glaze over. This is similarly detail-oriented, but it shows so much about the true nature of Pizzagate that I urge you to invest the time. Planning for a cover-up began in late 2013, and active disinfo began in early 2014. This was long before the DNC email leak in July 2016, or the Podesta email leak in Oct 2016. It is vital to figure out what the original cover-up was about. (I sketched out my theory that it was about the Glenn Beck whistleblower incident here. More on that coming soon.)

As I explained earlier, the 'worker bees' at MM are unaware of any criminal side to the organization. HLI doesn't have a cubicle in the corner; he works offsite, and the funds for his work are buried in a footnote, hidden from the IRS, and so on.

But hiding the money is trickier than just giving one number to the IRS and another in the annual report. In this Daily Caller article, you'll see that most of Media Matters' funding comes from foundations, like $4.3 million from the Tides Foundation. Much of it is earmarked for specific projects: a regional office in Colorado, or hitting conservatives on immigration and gay marriage. Foundation money must be publicly disclosed by the foundation, even if not by MM. These earmarks and reporting rules limit MM from mischief. Totals must balance. Otherwise various normie worker bees would realize something wasn't right.

So the cash for the disinfo project must come from individual donors who don't earmark, and don't care about receipts. This behavior by itself hardly proves that any given donor is a pedosadist. He/she could just be someone who doesn't have their own personal charity foundation. But this part of Brock's money flow contains the shady bit.

Media Matters does not publish any information about its funding, so we fall back on two sources. Foundation reports were the basis for the Daily Caller research. Our second source is the Wikileaks Podesta emails. Last year, Lachlan Markay of the Washington Free Beacon went through them and found names and amounts for 89 individual donors to MM. One really stands out: Herb Sandler, who gave $100,000+. This was on top of the $400,000 that Sandler's foundation gave to Media Matters years earlier.

Why does Herb Sandler stand out? First look at email #32795 from the Wikileaks dump, the "handkerchief" email. Written on September 2, 2014, originally it went from the Martha's Vineyard realtor, Kathryn Tate, to Herb and Susan Sandler, asking about a handkerchief. Then (perhaps after a phone call with Tate) Susan Sandler forwarded the email to John Podesta, creating the most famous phrase in Pizzagate lore, the "pizza-related map".

By the way, my guess is that the house-viewing tour was simply that, and Kathryn Tate is a normie who was excited to be showing houses to powerful Democrats. During the tour, Podesta accidentally dropped his handkerchief, a memento of some icky event that took place hours or days earlier. While Tate didn't know its significance (calling it just a "handkerchief"), Sandler did, so she asked Podesta about it.

Now look at email #4447, dated March 18, 2014, six months before the handkerchief incident. David Brock is catching up with Herb Sandler, after many years, to ask for more money.

It sure has been a long time since we have spoken and I was hoping that we could catch up for a few minutes when I am out in the Bay Area April 2-4. I have started a new project that is focused on defending Hillary Clinton from the myriad Right-wing attacks she is facing today.

The top part of #4447, redirecting from Herb Sandler to Podesta, is important too. Sandler's foundation has given upwards of $7 million to Podesta's Center for American Progress, and the Podesta emails show them discussing random subjects, like Thomas Piketty's bestseller Capital, typically every few weeks. So, before meeting with Brock, he tries to check in with Podesta. The implicit question here is: Do you endorse Brock's plan? Should I meet with him?

Podesta doesn't answer right away, so Sandler emails again two days later in #58175, saying he wants "advice". Evidently they couldn't deal with everything on the phone, because then on the 31st, Podesta is in San Francisco, and in #1721 he gets directions to a dinner with Sandler in Russian Hill. Then right after that, David Brock arrives in San Francisco for his April 2-4 visit, and with Podesta's endorsement, he gets the money for the disinfo operation.

At around this time, Brock launched Correct The Record, which fits the description he gave in the initial email. He and Sandler likely did discuss CTR when they met, along with the disinfo project, because Sandler later donated $3 million to two Brock-related super PACs, Priorities USA Action and American Bridge, which in turn gave CTR at least $1 million. But this $100,000+ was given by Sandler specifically to Media Matters. It did not go to either of these super PACs. (Plus CTR has now shut down, yet the disinfo operation continues.) Again, it was personal, not foundation money, so without Wikileaks we would have no way to know about it. It is thus ideal for diversion to a slush fund, and the handkerchief email is our evidence that Sandler and his wife are possible pedosadists willing to pay for a disinfo operation.

Exploring Brock's finances has side benefits. These dates check out with the "Tory Smith" YouTube project. The most frequent commenter on Tory Smith's channel is "Lisa Brown," another HLI sockpuppet who talks about Cargill and Monsanto like WIC did. Both YouTube accounts were created in October 2013. This tells us roughly when Brock began planning the disinfo project. But YouTube shows no activity on Brown's channel until late April 2014 -- after funding had been secured. Likewise with Smith's now-deleted blog; the Wayback Machine shows no entries before March 2014. (Smith deleted his older YouTube videos, and the Wayback Machine did not save anything from that period, so that activity is unclear.)

This brings us to email #55494, dated Feb 10, 2015. Now, Sandler is having some concern whether the volatile paranoid that he gave the money to, is really up to the task.

It helps to read the Politico article that Sandler linked to, but I will summarize: various Democrats have complained about Brock (and Podesta's) partner, the Bonner Group, charging an enormous (12.5 %) fundraising fee. Nobody else charges such a high fee. Lots of Democrat money is raised without fees at all. Brock protests that he is being smeared, and resigns from the board of Priorities USA Action. To Sandler, Podesta basically shrugs and says "crazy is as crazy does".

This email has led people to conclude that John Podesta doesn't like David Brock. But that's superficial. (They're all child-raping sociopaths, after all.) We get deeper insight when we recall that funds for Media Matters passed through a maze of 14 front organizations, most of which paid the 12.5 % to Bonner. Depending what path the money took, Bonner could double- or triple-dip, collecting 23.5 % or 33.0 %, and then kick back a big chunk to Brock. Even at 12.5 % Brock's scheme was/is a ripoff by the usual standards in politics, but if the full truth became widely known, Brock would be a pariah among Democrats. So he resigned, to push that story out of the news fast.

We don't know all the details of Bonner's deal with Podesta. And we can't say for sure if Podesta knew, back in 2015, that Brock was scheming with Bonner to skim to this degree. But if he did know, he clearly didn't tell Sandler, and Brock didn't either. Otherwise Sandler would not have needed the Politico article explained to him, and Podesta would not have chosen this non-explanation as a reply.

This is what I mean about the Clinton gang having no discipline. Remember how Brock's other gay lover blackmailed him? These guys are too busy lying or stabbing one another in the back to do anything properly.

So. This is the actual guy funding David Brock to pay HLI/"Tory Smith" to come to /v/pizzagate every day. Welcome to Voat, Herb!

One minor goal of my reports has been to get bad-tempered Brock to scream at HLI/"Tory Smith". Now I have a new goal: To get Herb Sandler to scream at John Podesta, who screams at David Brock, who takes out his frustration on HLI/"Tory Smith". It's more sh*t going down a bigger hill, or so I hope.
