Menshn - Louise Mensch launches a 'rival to twitter'

[teqniq]

Yup. my first and pretty much only thought.

 

[hot air baboon]

she says. “I feel that I can suddenly see patterns and synthesise old bits of information that normally you would forget about and then I just start thinking . . .”

...I think that last bit's where you're going wrong......

....presume everyone saw her...."encounter" - ( not sure you could call it an interview ) with Brillo yesterday in which she stated her "belief" that Andrew Breitbart was bumped-off by Putin in order to clear the path for Bannon to take over the site

bit OT but Naomi Wolf went a bit weird aswell

The insane conspiracy theories of Naomi Wolf

British right-wingers are doing so well out of Trump - Hilton is working for Fox News, Farage is now called 'a foreign leader' by the US media, and now Mensch has found a new schtick on the other side of the fence.

On Monday, the House Intelligence Committee holds its first hearing on Russia’s hacking of the election. (No date has yet been set for the Senate Intelligence Committee’s parallel investigation.) The list of initial witnesses does not inspire confidence in the House committee’s effectiveness.

It should be relatively easy to get at the truth of whether there was collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia over the hacking. I have some relevant experience. When I was a member of Parliament in Britain, I took part in a select committee investigating allegations of phone hacking by the News Corporation. Today, as a New York-based journalist (who, in fact, now works at News Corp.), I have followed the Russian hacking story closely. In November, I broke the story that a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act court had issued a warrant that enabled the F.B.I. to examine communications between “U.S. persons” in the Trump campaign relating to Russia-linked banks.

Mensch was mentioned in the DNC leaks

Fwd: Hillary ad - WikiLeaks

(Louise is a former Conservative British MP. Very smart.)

Very smart.

Has she just discovered MDMA now?

 

[Raheem]

Has she just discovered MDMA now?

I'm pretty sure she's way past drugs any of us will ever have heard of. The way she behaves, she might even be taking drugs that don't exist yet.

Lurid Trump allegations made by Louise Mensch and co-writer came from hoaxer

Explosive allegations about Donald Trump made by online writers with large followings among Trump critics were based on bogus information from a hoaxer who falsely claimed to work in law enforcement.

Claude Taylor tweeted fake details of criminal inquiries into Trump that were invented by a source whose claim to work for the New York attorney general was not checked, according to emails seen by the Guardian. The allegations were endorsed as authentic and retweeted by his co-writer Louise Mensch.

The source’s false tips included an allegation, which has been aggressively circulated by Mensch and Taylor, that Trump’s inactive fashion model agency is under investigation by New York authorities for possible sex trafficking.

The hoaxer, who fed the information to Taylor by email, said she acted out of frustration over the “dissemination of fake news” by Taylor and Mensch. Their false stories about Trump have included a claim that he was already being replaced as president by Senator Orrin Hatch in a process kept secret from the American public.

“Taylor asked no questions to verify my identity, did no vetting whatsoever, sought no confirmation from a second source – but instead asked leading questions to support his various theories, asking me to verify them,” the source said in an email.

Mensch is done now surely

Mensch is done now surely

Doubt it.

Mensch is done now surely

Dunno about that, her reputation was in the toilet on multiple fronts years before this incident.

People already knew she is stupid, ignorant, teams up with other idiots, has a strange relationship with facts, lacks insight and is happy to shoot herself in the foot when initially trying to defend the indefensible anytime something blows up in her face.

Since the glory days where she established that reputation, if anything she has only declined further into the realms of crap conspiracy theory.

After all she is a serial 'winner', just so long as the winning in question is of the Charlie Sheen variety.

Although to be fair, Sheens winning meme was generated during an intense period of crisis for the man. Whereas the likes of Mensch and Trump have a more consistent form of delusional winner takes all mindset that they appear to have been able to fashion into a profitable career.

I'm baffled how she even got this reputation. A virtually unknown Brit, plonked down in America doesn't suddenly discover a collection of anonymous sources in the Federal govt overnight.

Every time I see this, I find myself wondering how Luke Bozier is doing.

Not much of an internet presence these days (!)

Name change by deed poll, perchance?!

This is pretty extra:





Amusing discussion here:

oh dear! groan

Not so very smart now...

 

[TheHoodedClaw]

She just fired her lawyers via the medium of twitter
