60 Minutes (Australia) goes after renowned investment advisor Peter Schiff
Twitter ^ | Oct 22 | Peter Schiff

@PeterSchiff

Pres. @realDonaldTrump got off easy with 60 Minutes. It's nothing compared to what 60 Minutes Australia did to me. I only wish I had my own recording to show the interview that actually took place, rather than the one they pretended took place. My Youtube response is later today.

-----------------------------------------------

A lesson learned, perhaps?

Apparently Schiff walked out on them when they accused him of money laundering etc.

This is what it's based on.. Article from the NYT (19th Oct). Likely a hit job (i've not read it all yet).

Chasing Illicit Money, Global Officials Circle a Puerto Rico Firm

Peter Schiff is a stock broker and economist best known for calling the housing market crash and recession in 2008. He has appeared on numerous programs and is a speaker, author etc. He lives in Puerto Rico for tax reasons and is no criminal or money launderer.

Someone is out to get him !

you know what? Things are beginning to go so much in Trump’s direction that I’d like the rallies and not much else.

But Trump doesn’t hide.

And hiding didn’t work out too well for ByeDone, I guess.

Always keep your own recording.

Trump had it exactly right.

Who in their right mind would talk to 60 Minutes? They are notorious for cut/pasting fake interviews.

Apparently, The Stable Genius. Which both baffles me, and is completely unsurprising to ke at the same time.

I know why he is escaping taxes. They are horrible for small business owners in many US States.

Peter Schiff does a lot of media and is perhaps naïve...

It is dangerous to talk to local podunk reporters.

Even on the rare occasions when they don’t have an axe to grind (they call it an “angle”), they have a hard time getting the basic facts correct.

Schiff was clueless.

Journalists are appropriately afraid. Their frame is disintegrating. Soon they won’t dare venture outside of their walled estates.

Though I do recall journalists mocked the idea of a wall’s deterrent value. Something like.. an eight foot wall? Bring a nine foot ladder, ha ha!

President Trump continues to prove he’s fearless...a regular Daniel in the lion’s den. I think he does it to throw it back in Biden’s face. You know he won’t lose a vote from our side by facing off with the enemy.

first criticism of Trump only, for interrupting at first debate; then Laura O’Donnell sits mute while Biden speaks. Stahl interrupts Trump twice during his first answer:

One of my first lessons about MSM came with FR, and the job 60 minutes did on Condeleeza Rice. I remember when they interviewed her, I was shocked at how badly she came off.

Freepers schooled me on how 60 minutes is not a “straight out” interview. They edit and contextualize and actually took words out of her sentences. I think someone was able to get at least part of the transcript and I remember thinking, “60 minutes is dishonest how they represented her!”

That was my very first lesson that a NEWS show might not want to show you the news. And at that time, people thought they did. You were working upwind to tell people, no, they are NOT trying to inform you. They are trying to PROGRAM you.

IMHO, this is Trump’s great gift to us. He has opened our eyes to how we CANNOT TRUST the media.

...we CANNOT TRUST the media.

_____________________________
We cannot trust anyone, except Trump, his family and a very few close advisors.

The progs have destroyed every institution. They control every Agency (a few exceptions, here and there. and not at all levels). They have subverted sports. The medical establishment is controlled and dissenters are silenced. The Church (all denominations except Orthodox Catholic, a few Pentecostals, and Orthodox Judaism is subverted. We cannot trust the US Postal Service.

All those woke college students are now working, everywhere. We speak with them every time we interact with any facet of our society.

In some states, you are free to shop, if the business has inventory, if there aren’t too many people in the store, if you wear a mask, follow the arrows and stay away from everyone else, and if you have the money. Soon, it will depend on your Social Credit score and your vaccine status.

Welcome to the USSA. It will get worse unless we totally crush the progs, politically and socially..

I remember several of our units troops being interviewed by 60 Minutes .... they regretted it immensely. Everything they said was deceptively edited or taken our of context. They ended up apologizing to their fellow troops, family and country. Like talking to the FBI ... better tape it or regret it.

Shiff is pretty ballsy really. He’s a very politically incorrect, Constitution-living libertarian. He’s not a big fan of Trump but prefers him over Biden.
