Fun fact: Eleanor married Montgomery Clift’s brother Brooks, around the same time her career was launched.

wiki:

Edward Montgomery Clift was born on October 17, 1920, in Omaha, Nebraska. His father, William Brooks “Bill” Clift (1886–1964), was the vice-president of Omaha National Trust Company.[5] His mother was Ethel Fogg “Sunny” Clift (née Anderson; 1888–1988). They had married in 1914.[6] Clift had a twin sister, Ethel, who survived him by 48 years, and a brother, William Brooks Clift, Jr. (1919–1986), who had an illegitimate son with actress Kim Stanley and was later married to political reporter Eleanor Clift.[7] Clift had Dutch, English, and Scottish ancestry. His mother was an adopted child who, at the age of 18, had been told that her birth parents were members of prominent American families who were forced to part by the tyrannical will of the girl's mother. She spent the rest of her life trying to gain the recognition of her alleged relations.

Part of Clift’s mother's effort was her determination that her children should be brought up in the style of true aristocrats. Thus, as long as Clift’s father was able to pay for it, he and his siblings were privately tutored, travelled extensively in America and Europe, became fluent in German and French, and led a protected life, sheltered from the destitution and communicable diseases which became legion following the First World War.[8] The Wall Street Crash of 1929 and the Great Depression of the 1930s ruined Clift’s father financially. Unemployed and broke, he was forced to move his family to New York, but Clift’s mother still persisted in her plans, and as her husband's situation improved, she was able to enrol Brooks at Harvard and Ethel at Bryn Mawr College. Clift, however, could not adjust to school, and never went to college. Instead, he took to stage acting, beginning in a summer production, which led to his debut on Broadway by 1935.[9]

You were right.

Conclusion: False
The primary claims in the information are factually inaccurate.
Fact-Checks From Multiple Organizations
Curious how Facebook works with independent fact-checking organizations? Learn m

The above is what I found.

I don’t really give a damn what Face Book says.

I am in the minority on this but my opinion, Facebook is the enemy.

Sooner or later, if we are going to survive. And its out call. Fire must be fought with fire. Sooner or later we must ask ourselves, do we want to live or die. They are advancing their agenda duck bite by duck bite, Baby step by baby step. Soon there will be no hills left to die on. They will be in the enemy’s camp.

Now there's an interesting question. As a purely academic exercise, what's the proper action? The proper target of that action?

I don't see that joining the anarchists on the street makes a lot of sense, unless one is willing to go armed, and prepared to use it.

The AT&T ad of old comes to mind..."Reach out, reach out and touch someone." But who? The punks on the street are cannon fodder, nothing more. If something were to happen to them, I suppose it might have a deterrent effect.

Logically, punks are punks, and have been always. It seems to me the ire of Portlanders, for example, should be aimed at Ted Wheeler, the Mayor. His job is to protect the citizens from the punks who will always be with us.

Again, speaking generally as an academic exercise, things will change when Ted Wheeler does.

Yes, exactly!

It’s from January....but, how important, and timely the ad message is.

Why we’re not seeing this, everywhere, is beyond me.

You’re right...it does ATTACK, ATTACK, ATTACK....from OUR side.

We’re sure not seeing much of that, these days. Only POTUS.

Yeah, I rarely go to Facebook, and this is the first time I’d seen the “fact check” in action. It’s even worse than I imagined. Not even a shred of credibility! No debate , just a blanket assertion that the “primary claims” are false? I feel much safer, knowing some anonymous groups are watching over our content.

The real dangers are not the idiot BLM or even Antifa, but the Leftist monopolies that own every public venue.

I’ve stated here and elsewhere that an asymmetric campaign organized via old school communication techniques needs to be organized with someone with more time on their hands than lil ol’ me.

But clearly JR has coined the operation’s name.
