The worrying tale of how my business made $515m more than Snapchat last year
The marketing and media agency I co-founded likely made at least $1bn more profit than Uber last year. We also made $515m more than Snapchat and $450m more than Twitter.
This isn’t because we did anything particularly remarkable. We just stuck to the basic business principle that it’s better to make money than lose it. Yet these tech “unicorns” are lauded as success stories despite the fact they’re yet to make a single penny in profit. In fact they’re a long way from it.
We find ourselves in a strange position where some of the most recognised companies in the world are built on foundations of sand, packed only with venture capital and investor funds. Subsequently, a number of founders are creating companies predicated on securing the next round of funding rather than creating a viable business model that the market will reward.

The business of Internet shilling - posing as a genuine forum user but being in the employ of a corporation to promote their work - is booming. And it has been for a long time. From fake Amazon reviews to the U.S Army astroturfing social media, comment manipulation is as old as the very concept of internet forums.
Fake comments and fake conversations being hard to spot, especially when they’re made by specialist agencies, makes shilling big business.
Nowhere is this more apparent than on Reddit. Being the world’s 22nd most popular website and the U.S.’ 7th makes it a popular target because of the hundreds of millions of eyeballs it attracts every month.
In December last year, I managed to place two entirely fake news stories onto influential subreddits - with millions of subscribers - and vote them to the top with fake accounts and fake upvotes for less than $200. It was simple, cheap and effective.

Some major autism results. Vaccine aluminium adjuvants a key cause. Implications for treatment..
This very well presented article was written just over a week ago:
https://healthcareinamerica.us/d…It connects four discoveries made in the last three years regarding a major cause of autism, with implications for the treatment and avoidance of autism.
From the article's opening summary:
"Scientists appear to be far closer to explaining the mechanisms of action within the body that cause autism. Most of the research that has created this understanding has been published in the last 36 months, and largely from international scientists in Canada, France, Israel, and China. Four clear, replicable, and related discoveries explaining how autism is triggered are forming an undeniably clear picture of autism’s causation, and possibly ways to alleviate the symptoms, too."
The article is long, and well referenced, but clearly written. I recommend it to anyone interested in autism causes or treatment.
The article makes an excellent case that the aluminium adjuvants in many vaccines are far more toxic than conventionally admitted, and that the way that aluminium harms the brain and the gut closely fit with the damage commonly seen in autism.
The article concludes:
========
Is there any hope of recovery for all these impacted children? Will removing aluminum, introducing ketones to the brain, repairing the gut, and supplementing with Vitamin D do anything to alleviate autism and other ailments in children who have already been damaged?And, importantly, will these scientists who have published all this wonderful work pool their collective expertise and let the world know what they are learning? Will they take their exhortations for caution and further exploration — all buried inside their published studies — and publicly warn parents about what is becoming so clear?
In my opinion, we are much, much closer to understanding how autism has been triggered in so many children, and I hope this article is another step on the path to the truth. And, for so many of you out there doing everything you can to help you son or daughter with autism live the best possible life, perhaps a clearer understanding of how their autism was triggered will improve their chances for recovery.

Suspect arrested in bomb threats against Jewish community centres
"Juan Thompson, 31, was taken into custody on Friday morning in St. Louis, the first arrest to result from a federal investigation into a wave of threats against Jewish Community Centers (JCCs) and schools that has rattled the Jewish community.
Thompson was a reporter for the Intercept, a news website focused on national security, until he was fired in January 2016 after the website said he had invented sources and quotes."
