I don't need your permission to believe something, I also haven't claimed that I believed any of this theory but I do think it's worth exploring given the stuff that we do already know.

What it your claim based on other than pure speculation?

It doesn't make any difference to me whether the advertising was mentioned or not.

It's fishy that during a long campaign season that donations would be made to Buzzfeed around the same time as the Steele Dossier was being put out for consumption.



Buzzfeed has been operating since 2006. Three major election seasons have passed. Those are the only advertising funds they have received... ever.

If you look at the FEC database, the types of groups that get that amount of money go out and do the legwork to place advertising. Buzzfeed does not have a service that does that.


The article below says in 2012 ...

BuzzFeed adapts its branded content approach to political advertising, and Obama’s in

But when you look in the FEC database, there are no payments directly to Buzzfeed for advertising - which means a group was paid to go to Buzzfeed and do the digital advertising.

In this case mentioned in the OP - Buzzfeed was paid directly - a large sum of money - to perform services which they do not do or to place ads at an outrageous cost. Does not pass the smell test.



I know I wasted my time on this with you - but I choose to go through some of the details every so often.

I'm afraid so. Its a story made out of thin air.

The story is not made up. The money got paid. You may not like my take on it... but Buzzfeed received $1.5M from an PAC started by Obama personnel... that's an absolute fact via the FEC.

If you can prove otherwise - back it up.

Dear Mr. Twitter user quoted by the OP.
If you want to be taken serious, you have to give yourself a name I can look at and not immediately laugh at for being stupid. Now if this was a comedic tweet then the name is appropriate.


And your doublewide dreaming? A real winner.
Ill wait until another more reliable source follows up.

Yes, to purchase advertising. Everything else about Steel Dossier etc is made out of thin air.

Why don't you attack Coors for buying advertisement space during the Super Bowl and insist they did it to bring communism to America.
