Workings of the Swamp

Obama & Netflix

So I just pieced this together while in a debate on another forum with someone.

Check out this chain of events....



2008 Obama wins Presidency.

2009 Obama appoints a woman named Nicole Avant as Ambassador to the Bahamas.

2012 election, a gentleman named Ted Sarandos contributes $600,000 towards Obama's reelection campaign. Another gentleman named Clarence Avant contributes $400,000.

Low and behold, Nicole Avant happens to be the daughter of Clarence Avant and wife of Ted Sarandos.

BUT IT GET'S BETTER!

Netflix just signed Obama & Michelle to a $50 MILLION deal for them to supposedly help produce a series of short films.

Guess who runs Netflix and their $6 billion a year budget?

That's right, Ted Sarandos.

OH BUT WAIT! WE'RE NOT DONE!

Guess who just got named to the board of directors of Netflix with a fat cushy salary?

Obama's good pal, Susan Rice! And do you know how much experience the former NSA director has running companies or being on BoD's for film production studios? NONE

But she is on the BoD of a bunch of Leftwing think-tanks and the Council on Foreign Relations, so there's that.

And guess what tremendous boon happened for Netflix in 2013?

Obama signs the Video Privacy Protection Amendment Act of 2012 into law.

Copy of actual bill.

And just take a guess on who lobbied for and helped sponsor this bill? That's right, Netflix and Sarandos.

And guess what the bill did? It stripped away the privacy restrictions created by the Video Protection Privacy Act of 1988, which made it a serious penalty for video/movie providers to release the video rental/purchase history of private citizens.

Harvard Law Review explains the VPPA being a key model of intellectual privacy statutes.

And with this Obama amendment, Netflix was granted the ability to take our video watching/rental history and SELL it's viewership metadata freely to anyone who wants to know what type of material any of us watches. Ever wonder how you get certain advertisements on maybe Facebook, Twitter, Google, or via email for videos/movies/products that seem to fit or relate to the genre's and types of movies you typically watch? It's probably because Netflix or Hulu or YouTube/Google is able to sell your metadata to advertisers, thanks to this bill Obama signed.

Money, money, money for Netflix thanks to this bill. And the Obama's get a nice commission of $50 Million for it.

And the probability of Barry and Michelle actually helping "produce" a few Netflix films is freaking NIL, too, and we all know it. They will get their names slapped on the films as "Executive/Associate Producers", but we all know they have zero experience in this field and aren't really doing a darn thing but taking pay checks from their home in DC (or which ever island or yacht they're currently vacationing on).


Obama entered the White House worth around $1.3M, left worth around $40M somehow, and is well on his way to $500M+ at the rate he's going.

Funny how that works. Dude was no different than any other typical Establishment/Globalist politician selling policy to the highest bidder and stealing our tax dollars.

No wonder they fight so hard to protect the system of swamp dwellers.

Need a job? ... San Francisco "Poop Patrollers" Make $185,000

quote:
We wish we could say this was a satire piece, but a new story in the San Francisco Chronicle reveals just how lucrative collecting shite actually is.

It's but the latest in a string of shocking revelations to hit headlines throughout the summer exposing how deep San Francisco's crisis of vast amounts of vagrant-generated feces covering its public streets actually runs (no pun intended).

We detailed last week how city authorities have finally decided to do something after thousands of feces complaints (during only one week in July, over 16,000 were recorded), the cancellation of a major medical convention and an outraged new Mayor, London Breed, who was absolutely shocked after walking through her city: they established a professional "poop patrol".




quote:
As described when the city initially unveiled the plan, the patrol will consist of a team of five staffers donning protective gear and patrol the alleys around Polk Street and other "brown zones" in search of everything from hepatitis-laden Hershey squirts to worm-infested-logs. At the Poop Patrol's disposal will be a special vehicle equipped with a steam cleaner and disinfectant.

The teams will begin their shifts in the afternoon, spotting and cleaning piles of feces before the city receives complaints in order "to be proactive" in the words of the Public Works director Mohammed Nuru, co-creator of the poop patrol initiative.

While at first glance it doesn't sound like the type of job people will be knocking down human resources doors to apply for, the SF Chronicle has revealed just how much each member of this apparently elite "poop patrol" team will cost the city: $184,678 in salary and benefits.
