As an initial matter, who the hell knew Kos had so many Russian trolls? On my last post within a few minutes there were numerous negative posts, before any of those clowns could have had time to read it.
Even if you don't believe my crazy story of ominous phone calls and platform wide extensive hacking in what appeared to be nothing but an all out effort to prevent the post of my McIver story, you can surely see for yourself the extensive trolling. They try to sound normal but you can tell many of them for what they are..."The Trump organization is a small family owned business..." That kind of nonsense. Go back and look at the accounts that posted negative stuff on that last post I made. I bet 80% are trolls. Now you know who some of them are, but God knows how many there are in total. The responses I don't think represent the views of this site, as represented by the poll I did in my first McIver post. Ask yourself: why all the effort if there is nothing to this story? Maybe because I have called them out they will lay off a little on this post. Maybe not. I don't care.
Listen, I know I sounded unhinged yesterday. I know. They freaked me out. How many of you have ever had every electronic device you owned being hacked and remote controlled at the same time, while receiving ominous phone calls from guys with heavy Russian accents? It's a little unnerving. It's a lot unnerving. It can make you unhinged. Particularly when you have just finished writing a fairly in depth researched story strongly indicating the Republican candidate for president has committed perjury, and committed a massive fraud (even by Trump standards) on the media and the public. Not small stuff.
The article I posted wasn't even the best stuff, but I think it was enough to start the ball rolling for people to look back into this. My goal was to write a very level headed piece laying out the facts and I think it would have shown enough to raise a LOT of questions and enough to establish no real evidence of proof of life of McIver in years. Of course the massive hack and ominous calls, while not totally preventing the publication of the story, did successfully make me look like the unhinged person I was yesterday, which worked very much toward their plan. I would go back and finish my article, but my wife was so freaked out by what happened yesterday she has told me my days as an investigative journalist are over for now. But the remainder of the article was going to show how the "pics" of McIver are all old, sketchy, and have numerous questions that need to be answered. We were also going to show the amount of subterfuge that was going on online to keep this story buried- and there is a lot of it. Including a lot of Twitter trolling as here and quick webpage edits. We have screen shots demonstrating a lot of this. Again, why all the work if there is nothing to the story? Finally, the article was going to show how the online records showing McIver exists (or at a minimum has been around recently) are very limited, and again fail to establish life in recent years.
Of course, all this could be easily resolved- she is a best selling author living in New York City. She is a high level Trump assistant. Surely it shouldn't take a massive investigative effort to prove she is in the Trump organization currently. Perhaps even a few of you who aren't trolls think this isn't that huge a deal. Trump lies all the time, why should this lie matter? Because this lie is the perfect storm for Trump. It ties all of the nonsense together. He pointed the finger at her for helping with the online blogs in the Trump U case. He pointed the finger at her for his overstated wealth. He pointed the finger at her for the plagiarism. But there is no evidence proving life in years, other than Trumps word. Why?
It's important to understand it is not necessary to accept that Meredith is a complete fiction in order for us to push the press to pursue this story. She hasn't been seen by anyone in years. If she's really there is he hiding her because she knows too much? Is she swimming with the fishes at the bottom of the Hudson River. We're worried about little Meredith, with her strikingly similar expressions. This story coming to light will also highlight the free pass the media has given Trump the whole way. There's a LOT of problems in this story, to say the least, for Trump. Is the sister and mom of Meredith real? I don't have as firm an opinion on this but the evidence I've seen so far is pretty sketchy. Supposedly the mom just died, conveniently.
We need to keep pushing, the truth will come out. Despite the feverish resistance of our hacker and trolling friends.
