Leaked e-mails published by WikiLeaks show that the mainstream media are not the only media going out of their way to push the election to Hillary Clinton. While the collusion between the Department of Justice and the Clinton campaign/Clinton Foundation and between the mainstream media and the Clinton campaign/Clinton Foundation have done much to help Clinton, social media has played a big part in the game, as well.
In the modern age, data is a more valuable asset than most realize. Those who decide what you see can — to a large extent — manipulate what you think, or at least what you perceive. When a voter watches television news and constantly sees a biased point of view, it impacts the way that voter sees the issues. But since most people are at least vaguely aware that the mainstream media presents a skewed perspective, they turn to their social media timelines to hear from their peers what is really going on. But what they are hearing is not accurate, because Facebook — the biggest of the social media giants — is playing a shell game with the data.
Take an episode from earlier this year when Facebook employees admitted to blocking conservative posts on a regular basis. More recently, though, Facebook blocked links about the WikiLeaks publication of the hacked e-mails from the Democratic National Committee (DNC) that led to the resignation of Debbie Wasserman Schultz from the chairmanship back in the summer. Facebook admitted the fact that posts were being blocked, but blamed it on security measures put in place to block malicious links. After Julian Assange tweeted about the censorship and posted a workaround link, Facebook Chief Security Officer Alex Stamos tweeted, “It’s been fixed.” As if one of the most technologically innovative companies in the world would find that its security settings were “accidentally” blocking posts that would damage the DNC. Interestingly, there were no reports of censorship of liberal posts supporting and defending the DNC/Clinton campaign. Facebook’s protests to the contrary duly noted, it is a fact that the daddy of all social media has made a habit of censoring posts that do not fit the liberal direction of the company.
Keeping all that in mind helps to place the information in recent e-mail leaks in perspective. In one recent e-mail published by WikiLeaks, Facebook Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg (shown) is shown to have provided “research on gender and leadership by women” to the Clinton campaign. The e-mail, written by Hillary’s long-time associate (read: accomplice) Cheryl Mills, on February 20, 2015, lays out the plans for a meeting between Team Clinton and Sandberg. The relevant part of the e-mail says:
I have arranged for *Sheryl Sandberg and her researcher to be available on 5 March at 10am to step through the research on gender and leadership by women*. The HRC meeting begins at 11am.
Are you available then for such a meeting?
If so, who else should be included?
best.

Sandberg and the Clintons go way back. She got her start during the days when Bill Clinton was president. She served as chief of staff to then-Treasury Secretary Larry Summers before leaving Washington to work at Google and then Facebook. She is one of a sizable number of tech executives to have endorsed Hillary and is listed as a “Hillblazer” for contributing $100,000 or more for Hillary for America, the Hillary Victory Fund, and/or the Hillary Action Fund. So her experience in data-mining and her commitment to Clintonian politics means that providing the Clinton campaign “research on gender and leadership by women” was an easy step for her. Her job at Facebook assuredly made it even easier.
Since Facebook has been shown to use its social media platform to conduct social and psychological experiments on users, it is a small step for the COO of the company to provide data analytics to her chosen candidate. But however small that step may have been, it was out of bounds. Facebook users should not have their data mined and crunched for the purposes of an agenda. Period. But then, they shouldn’t have their political posts censored, either.
Sandberg has denied reports that she would be Hillary’s pick for her old boss’s job as treasury secretary, saying, "I really am staying at Facebook." Even if that is true, her absence from Hillary’s Cabinet (should Clinton win in November) will certainly not diminish her ability to help Clinton in the future. After all, cash may be king, but data is an emperor.
makes you wonder what they’ve got on FR??
Basically the entire world-wide elite is working as one on the project of knocking Trump out and eliminating him.
If he wins it will be astonishing.
This sounds like theft of the shareholders’ assets that the FEC needs to investigate as there was no excuse for the Clinton campaign to get it without fairly compensating the shareholders. Some minority shareholders could certainly sue the company over this. Employees shouldn’t be stealing data.

If he wins, it'll stick in their collective craw like nothing we've ever seen. They'll never accept it.
It will truly be an act of God if Trump wins which I pray it will be.

Amen.
This election is the last chance for the people to kick out the globalist.
From 1996 to 2001 she again worked for Larry Summers, who was then serving as the United States Secretary of the Treasury under President Bill Clinton. Sandberg assisted in the Treasury’s work on forgiving debt in the developing world during the Asian financial crisis.[24]
When the Republicans swept the Democrats out in November 2000, Sandberg left her job. She then moved to Silicon Valley in 2001 and joined Google Inc., serving as its Vice President of Global Online Sales and Operations from November 2001 to March 2008.[26] She was responsible for online sales of Google’s advertising and publishing products as well as for sales operations of Google’s consumer products and Google Book Search.[27]
In late 2007, Mark Zuckerberg, co-founder and chief executive of Facebook, met Sandberg at a Christmas party held by Dan Rosensweig; at the time, she was considering becoming a senior executive for The Washington Post Company.[9] Zuckerberg had no formal search for a COO, but thought of Sandberg as “a perfect fit” for this role.[9] They spent more time together in January 2008 at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. In March 2008, Facebook announced hiring Sheryl Sandberg away from Google for the role of COO.[28]
In 2009 Sandberg was named to the board of The Walt Disney Company.[35] She also serves on the boards of Women for Women International, the Center for Global Development and V-Day.[29] She was previously a board member of Starbucks with a $280,000 annual salary,[36] Brookings Institution and Ad Council.
On May 1, 2015, Goldberg died after sustaining a head trauma falling from a treadmill while the couple was vacationing in Mexico.[64][65] Goldberg suffered from cardiac arrhythmia that contributed to his fall and death.
We are talking about Sandberg and then in the last paragraph Goldberg dies. I’m lost.
Pasted from wikipedia.
If Trump wins it will be because the sleeping conservative giant (electorate) has awakened.
