"DoucheLeaks": featuring Markos Makesitso, Russia Maddow, Kurt Eivgonebald, Max Bootlick, and of course, Peter Douche
It's provable that the Pestilent Neoliberal Cesspool (or TOP) continues to plunge new depths. But you already knew that as a C99-er.
The place is unrecognizable. Occupied by the very worst, obnoxious, simpleton, fear-laden, incrementalist centrists. They alternate in fear and hubris. Scared of the changes that challenge their soft, meaningless lives of convenience, and so full of vapid self-assuredness that they know what's better for the lessers.
For more and more it hasn't gone unnoticed.
Give Peter Douche's Liason a hand for his expert hilarity in exposing the fraud of those transparent courtiers over there, and their Neoliberal masters everywhere.
Markos Makesitso has a new poll up! Shocking results last week! Sadly, there's no section to write-in Hillary, but let's do the next best thing and make sure a radical centrist wins this one!#StillWithering or #Bernie2020??https://t.co/tuPHEjVy0J

I howl-laughed at that description
It reminded me of their super-effective #Resistance. I wouldn't say this in other circles, but Donald Trump is a really effective POTUS. He gets done what the GOP wants (goodbye judiciary) while keeping everyone distracted by nonsense like porn star lawsuits and Twitter tantrums. All made easier by an acquiescent "opposition."
yep, agree. Love him
or hate him (or just feel he's
totally irrelevant), tRump has
accomplished more in his first
two plus years than O'bummer
or most anybody else accomplished in eight!

That site is ridiculous. The pearl-clutching about those polls is ridiculous. I understand that it's a meaningless online poll run by a biased site. No need for them to pretend otherwise. Pretending that PeBeto O'Rourigieg (these mediocre white guys blend together, sorry) IS ACTUALLY the winner of the latest one but he was robbed because of plotting Bernie Bros is a joke. Admitting that people vote Bernie just to spite Markos is hard; admitting that people vote Bernie because they like Bernie is impossible.
No matter what you think of him, Bernie Sanders is the front runner, and only a small handful of candidates are viable. The rest are shiny turds headed for an extinction burst or just non-starters. Front runners change; there is lots of time for Bernie to get sabotaged or crash and burn on his own. But this denial of front runner status is madness.

TOP 10 behaviors that TOP and Teen Gamers share
1. Obsessed with people following the rules of the game on their server. Of course, those rules are UNIQUE to their server and if you don't know them, you need to be CONSTANTLY reminded of them until you fall in line or quit.
2. Screaming insults at anybody who is better than they are at the game when they can't resort to rules violations.
3. Treating any retaliatory insults as violation of the rules.
4. Complaining that nobody takes them seriously.
5. When they are taken seriously, it's just proof that they're right.
6. Obsessed with game metrics. Complete with a daily High Score list for comments.
7. Gang warfare. (Games refer to this as "Clans". TOP refers to this as "Community Standards")
8. Appeal to rumor and innuendo when discussing upcoming events. (For TOP, it's the "Unnamed MSM Source". For gamers, it's "My pal on 4chan who linked a leak")
9. Complete failure to pay attention to the Real World which is to be viewed only through their filter of choice.
10. Lying about achievements.

Margaret POA was pretty cool when I first met her. She was an atheist who let Wee Mama have it when Mama posted that "let's have a different HR system for atheists who insult religion" diary. Since then though, Margaret has become one of the worst shit captains on the site. I don't know what happened to her, but she WILL CORRECT YOU.

... just when I thought I'd finally gotten the putrid taste of Daily Kos out of my mouth...
Any investigative exposes of Markos online?
I asked this the other day and received a few responses for which I'm thankful but still no links to articles online.
I'd appreciate it if folks could provide a few links to some good scathing exposes of Markos and DKos and any of his other business or whatever ventures..
How much is the guy worth in terms of $$$ these days?
How'd he get the money to get started?
How else is he making moola besides DKos?
I'm too lazy to write an article myself, but if anybody else is so inclined, that would be great!
Thanks.
Honestly, just don't really care.
He wants to be stupid, AGAIN and show how much money he can toss around on love letters to the Establishment, I think it speaks for itself. He's a grifter/kept man who found his sugar momma and ain't gonna leave until whoever is paying him finds it more profitable to destroy him.
But that's just my opinion, my totally personally biased opinion which in no way constitutes something he could potentially sue me for, because nothing would make him happier than using pieces of those smashed gates to whack at Hippy heads.

For what it's worth
I can't answer the specific question on any exposés; I don't believe there's anything to expose. Markos found the Yellow Brick Road to personal wealth and influence, principles be damned, and he followed it. I look at this way - he made his money legally and plainly by figuring out where his bread is best buttered. I can't hate him for that specifically. I do look at where he spends his time, what and who he is promoting, and what he's saying, to draw conclusions about his sources of wealth. If there was a DCCC playbook chapter on talking points, he'd be following it to the letter. The guy who created an online space for fierce and open opposition to the status quo is gone.
He supposedly got recruited to the CIA
and then decided not to go through with it.
Before 2002, he was a Republican who spent formative years in El Salvador. Imagine what your views would have to be if you came from the El Salvador of the 1970s, came to the U.S. in 1980, and signed on with the Republican party. Imagine...you'd have to wait until the post-Gingrich era to realize that the Republican Party is a cruel corrupt cesspool...after being a child in 1970s El Salvador?
And then you consider joining the CIA. This is if I take him at his word; personally, I believe that he did get recruited and never left. The CIA loves to control media. Since 1983, they've been doing it basically openly; it's just that nobody in the media ever highlighted it until Robert Parry did research in the Reagan Presidential Library and discovered that they volunteered to help the Reagan Administration avoid "Vietnamization" of the American public, by which they meant they didn't like large left-wing movements of Americans marching in the streets.

The CIA story
I have questioned whether he really did make it all the way to a CIA job offer or beyond. I personally don't believe that he has any CIA ties. He chose Howard Dean's campaign over an alleged CIA job. Dirty trickery is learned and tested in national campaigns all the time. Markos Moulitsas was a tech bro who went where he had the best chance to make a name for himself. He chose politics. He struck gold creating an online space in which users and not the owners created the content. He ran with it. A lot of others copied that formula.
One looks interesting
http://truth-about-kos.blogspot.com/2007/08/indictment-of-markos-ca-moul... informative, but I'm not familiar w/the site, and it's a 12-yo piece. Possible family ties back home w/the Agency??
andThere might still be a link available to his 2006 Commonwealth Club address where he talked about his CIA past, iirc. It would be naive in the extreme, imo, not to consider the possibility that Markos never left the Agency. His joining the Dean campaign instead, he claims, also makes for a nice cover story.
I am unaware of any recent in-depth reporting on his background or how DK got funded initially, etc, but I haven't done much beyond a lazy-man's google search, which is typical when I'm not paid for such time-consuming undertakings.
It has always been curious to me how quickly his site took off, and how successful it became so soon, and how for a good while people didn't seem too interested in how it all came to be, how Markos became the King of the Progosphere, including being anointed as such by the MSM and feted in a way by them. It just happened as if this were the normal organic course of events. Maybe. But maybe too he had some considerable outside assistance.
Here's some oppo on Moulitsas

On the subject of Julian Assange
being ousted from the Ecuadoran embassy and being turned over to the US government, their hatred prevents them from seeing the real issue as the little CIA dude guides them into the ever smaller and smaller corral.

Occam's Razor applies to Marky Markos's actions...ALWAYS...
...forget about moral principles; forget about the CIA bullshit, etc., etc. It's all business, all the time. When it comes to Moulitsas, always follow the money. His political philosophies are a mile wide and less than an inch deep. But, as many acknowledge, he is a very good businessman. That has ALWAYS been the line on him. And, when it comes to DKos, that's really all you need to know. Within weeks after either the 2008 or 2012 election (I forget which; I'd have to check to provide the actual date, and I have lots of offline commitments, today, so that's all I'm "confirming"), he was, more or less, bought out by the V.C. community--of most his principal stockholding positiions--of all of his major online properties (i.e.: SBNation, Vox, etc.), except for dear old Daily Kos and its affiliates.
Nowadays (after just about everyone's online advertising sales efforts crashed and burned--except for a handful of major players: Facebook, Google, Amazon, etc.), his income's all about his email lists, which he mostly markets through a network of professional vendors, with significant add'l sales of same occurring in-house (hence, you really cannot track his gross, closely-held corporate income, to the dollar; but he's left enough breadcrumbs in his commentary over the years to surmise to infer his gross corporate income is somewhere not too far north/south/in-between $10mm-$15mm per year, now). Above and beyond his direct response income stream, his second, major cash cow in his business is the tithe he "semi-imposes" among all that are ignorant enough to donate to their favorite neoliberal political candidates through his online and offline political fundraising efforts.
I really do enjoy reading Peter Douche's recent commentary. Especially, those .jpegs! LOL! Got a lot of laughs out of it! Thanks, Mark!

Bob, re. "his second, major cash cow in his business is the tithe he "semi-imposes" among all that are ignorant enough to donate to their favorite neoliberal political candidates through his online and offline political fundraising efforts."
And these are or might be what by name (if you know)?
I've largely limited my activism these days to throwing a few bucks to this or that candidate (ne'er anyone I consider a neoliberal) and/or cause - and I'd like to make sure I'm not throwing any of my money in his pocket.
Anyone who donates to Moulitsas's/DKos-generated...
...political/issues campaign fundraising requests, is asked to make a payment (tip, whatever, etc.) to DKos and/or its affiliates. A significant percentage of overall respondents to these requests follow-up with cash, accordingly. This is above and beyond any back-end percentage/performance deals the DKos' folks may--or may not--have with any given recipient (or their intermediaries) of such funds.

"Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich."--Napoleon
That's good evidence
Sometimes the simplest answer is the correct one. Sometimes not. Occam is usually a good starting point, but it's not etched in stone as a complete approach for all problems.
I don't see why it's automatically bullshit.
Do you think making money is incompatible with manipulating opinions online for the CIA? That seems highly unlikely.
Calling something bullshit because we have no proof of it is only rational if the initial hypothesis is extremely unlikely, or if an appropriate search for proof has come up empty. In this case, based on what we know of both Moulitsas and the CIA, the initial hypothesis is not extremely unlikely. It is, in fact, likely.
1)The COINTELPRO papers tell us that the CIA has had an active interest in manipulating public opinion through the media in the past.
2)Robert Parry uncovered information in the Reagan Presidential Library that indicated that the CIA began actively trying to shift the American public to the right in 1983, on behalf of the Reagan Administration. This was done in the open.
3)We know that operatives and their sockpuppets are endemic to the internet, both on behalf of private corporations and the government. This too is being done in the open, to the extent that "opinion management" and "perception management" are now industries, and buying subscriptions or likes for certain internet figures and properties is a known phenomenon. Another known phenomenon is a political candidate spending a million dollars placing operatives and their sockpuppets online to influence the American public in her interest. Their main methods for doing this have been a) influencing the direction of political conversations online, and b)suppressing dissent by attacking the characters of those who disagree--methods that will be familiar to anyone who has spent any time at Daily Kos.
4)About that candidate--the alliance between her political faction and the intelligence and security community is obvious and well-known; she has, in fact, been a major part of their Russiagate psy-op designed to start another Cold War.
5)That alliance extends generally to that candidate's political party. Enough members of the intelligence community have run as Democrats lately that the term "CIA Democrats" is now a thing.
6)Both the highest-ranking Democrats have said openly, independently of one another, that they don't dare oppose the CIA.
7)Markos Moulitsas' alliance with the Democratic party in general and the Clinton faction in particular is obvious and no one is denying it. Given the relationship between the CIA and the Democratic party, it's reasonably accurate to describe his website as a tool to produce support for the CIA's political face.
8)Markos Moulitsas spent formative years in the 1970s in El Salvador, after which he came to the United States. His response to those experiences was to join not only the United States military but the Republican party. Think about what El Salvador was like in the 1970s, to say nothing of the 80s, and reflect on what kind of political views you'd have to have in order to become a Republican after experiencing those events.
9)Moulitsas himself admits he was recruited to the CIA. We are supposed to take his word for the fact that he reconsidered and didn't become an operative. Why are we supposed to take this man, who rarely acts in good faith, in good faith? We don't believe anything else he says.
So the hypothesis is not comparable to the sighting of little green men in the New Mexican desert. In fact, the hypothesis that Markos Moulitsas is an operative is far likelier than the hypothesis that Americans live in a democracy.
As for appropriate searches for proof, a reasonable person would include in her analysis the fact that finding proof that a particular person is a CIA agent, or any other kind of undercover operative for the intelligence community, is extremely difficult--one of the most difficult terrestrial hypotheses to prove or disprove, since the entire security and intelligence industry is bent on misdirection. You are essentially trying to uncover the activities of the world's best professional liars and provide substantive proof of the identity of a spy.
It's fair to say that it's not proved that Moulitsas is a CIA op; it's neither fair nor rational to dismiss the possibility out of hand. Being dismissive is not an automatic gateway to accuracy.

“Controlled opposition"
Orwell: Where's the omelette?
Well, I agree with you a lot more than I disagree...
...but, on its face, Moulitsas sucks up to the powers that be for financial reasons.
Case In Point: He delivers up 80,000+/- roses to Nancy Pelosi, the most powerful elected Democrat in the U.S.
By definition, that IS a legit business expense! (It's a real write-off.)
The primarily neoliberal power structure drives most (virtually all) of his list and contribution referral business: DNC, DCCC, DSCC, etc., etc. Moulitsas is going where the money and power is; and our nation's intel agencies are right there driving/commandeering those same relationships, as well. On top of that, he's a former Republican. So, he's definitively aligned with the center-right of the Party, per his personal/historical political preferences. It's a natural/comfortable fit for him, philosophically, business-wise and personally, across-the-board. Hence, my reference to Occam's, etc.
"Freedom is something that dies unless it's used." --Hunter S. Thompson
I guess the difference is that I see the neoliberal
establishment as being completely intertwined with the CIA and the rest of the intelligence community and their interests, mainly, I think, because neoliberalism and neoconservatism have now joined forces and are difficult now to separate into component parts. Neoconservatism has been hand-in-glove with the CIA for quite some time. As the Russiagate thing shows, neoliberals now have no trouble adopting the same hideous and suicidal foreign policy goals.

Well, I think it's more along the lines of...
"Politics makes (not so) strange bedfellows..." and "The enemy of my enemy is my friend." It's always been the primary goal of our country's foreign policy to support its corporations, around the globe. So, you have the major Democratic Party online blog getting fully in line with the status quo, 'cause it's "good for business." Again, it's Occam's, to a "T." I have little doubt that if Marky Markos gets calls from questionable sorts associated with our surveillance state and our intelligence community, he's all ears. But, frankly, it's not rocket science. He goes with the flow; and he gets compensated, accordingly.

If you haven't read his summary of the 4/4 results, do yourself a favor and do/don't. Apples to oranges and made up bull shit from poll to poll. The last one, he only left open for 6 hours hoping he would outfox the Bernie supporters who now own his poll. I have no idea how long the last one was open. Like the Democratic debate, Kos is starting to only post them on Christmas Eve at midnight.
I don't know which makes me happier. Having Bernie win on his bought & paid for site or destroying his straw poll with all of its phony fame and glory.

cracked me up, thank you! I hope one of them responds or reacts to you!
I elect not to read
I left 2 - 3 years ago and pretty much stayed away.
Then I got approached on Twitter to take Kos up on his invitation for all to participate in his poll. The goal was to shut up Chuck Todd or make him talk about Bernie winning it just like he did Warren and Harris. The icing on the cake was to have Bernie walk off with the poll and/or to destroy it. I'd say we hit a homeroom with all three.
