Falun Gong is familiar to many as a spiritual exercise movement, and a sect that has been persecuted by the People's Republic of China. In Sydney you'll often see practitioners demonstrating by Town Hall with flyers sharing stories of organ harvesting of wrongfully imprisoned members. But former devotees have come forward with stories of coercion and abuse, alleging that in one thing the CCP is correct: Falun Gong is a socially harmful cult.Full research sources listed here.Links:“I am the only one propagating true Dharma”: Li Hongzhi's Self-Presentation as Buddha and Greater — by James R.

Rundown -   Intro with Troubadour Dave Gunders - 00:35   "Fire In My Hearth" by Dave Gunders - 09:37   Judge J. Michael Luttig - 15:40   Judge J. Michael Luttig, a prominent conservative jurist 1991 -2006, worked as Boeing's general counsel from 2006 - 2019. Beginning his career in the Jerry Ford White House, he developed close ties with Supreme Court members and was a lawyer for President Ronald Reagan. In 1991, George H.W. Bush appointed him to the Fourth Circuit.   Republican leaders know Judge Luttig as an expert on the US Constitution, which is why VP Pence wanted Judge Luttig to weigh in publicly on whether the VP had any right to not count the electoral college votes on January 6. Thrilling US history comes alive in the captivating and vibrant narrative Judge Luttig provides.   Born in Texas, Judge Luttig became the federal appellate court judge who fed clerks like John Eastman to the most conservative members of the United States Supreme Court. Judge Luttig and the late Justice Scalia were close. Judge Luttig tells us what Scalia would do with the Article Three - 14th Amendment case. He'd affirm the Colorado Supreme Court.   Discover how Judge Luttig discovered our show—it all began with Craig Silverman's Colorado Sun column, caught by Judge Luttig during his time in Vail. Impressed, he reached out, on X of all places. Xitter played a huge role 3 Christmas breaks ago as Luttig and Pence saved democracy. https://coloradosun.com/2023/12/23/colorado-supreme-court-trump-opinion-silverman/   Learn more about this historic and legendary American attorney. Judge Luttig delves deep into American history, highlighting pivotal moments post Civil War, 3 years ago and last week as CO S/Ct followed his Article Three, Fourteenth Amendment trail with an epic opinion resonating across Maine and the entire nation.    Judge Luttig commends the exceptional scholarship and historical significance evident in the majority ruling of Anderson v Griswold. His expertise in Constitutional writing lends weight to his high praise. Judge Luttig's view may influence justices like Thomas, Alito, Roberts, Kavanaugh and conservatives who hold his opinion in high regard.   Show Troubadour Dave Gunders' music sets the scene as Judge Luttig candidly shares insights, sitting by his historic Vail fireplace. “Fire in My Hearth” echoes the warmth felt for Judge and Elizabeth Luttig, honoring their pivotal role in safeguarding America.

You bet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=SaHK3aZYiWE   The Craig Silverman Show - Every Saturday morning at 9 a.m. Colorado time

Propublica reporter and author of the Digital Investigations newsletter, Craig Silverman joins the podcast to discuss disinformation trends on social media platforms, elections around the world in 2024 and what journalists and OSINT investigators can learn from each other.

In the mid-2010s, BuzzFeed News seemed like the most exciting place in media: an almost cloyingly whimsical carnival of abundance where journalists were actually happy. At a time when everything else appeared to be crumbling, it burst with hope and possibility.Last month, after just a few years of layoffs and withering, it shut down for good.And if the quick life and death of BuzzFeed News represented the whole past, present, and future of media collapsed into a single decade, then BuzzFeed Canada was a micocosm of that, living fast and dying young in just a fraction of the time.Today, BuzzFeed Canada founding editor Craig Silverman (now with ProPublica) and longtime writer Elamin Abdelmahmoud (now with CBC Radio) sit down with Canadaland news editor Jonathan Goldsbie to look at how this strange thing got built up so fast, and what it was like on the inside as it rapidly slipped awayHost: Jonathan GoldsbieCredits: Tristan Capacchione (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), Annette Ejiofor (Managing Editor), Noor Azrieh (Associate Producer)Further information:Definitive Oral History Of BuzzFeed News 2012–2023This Is The Definitive Oral History Of The Dead Toronto Raccoon That Went Viral2019 Canadian Association of Journalists McGillivray Award-winning articleThe Drone And The Damage DoneThe Wreck Of HMS Erebus16 Canadian Politicians Who Are Basically PokémonI Hate Myself Because I Don't Work For BuzzFeedSponsors: Oxio, Squarespace, Peloton, IndochinoIf you value this podcast, support us!

Craig Silverman and Google's ad business of "porn, piracy, and fraud" Tomaš Dvořák - "Game Boy Tune" - "Mark's intro" - "Interview with Craig Silverman" [0:05:13] - "Mark's comments" [0:46:10] Time Trout - "Smart City" - Stuck Like Jane Austen [0:54:44] https://www.wfmu.org/playlists/shows/123777

Imagine a company that hides who it works with and where billions of dollars flow around the world. That earns its profits financing a global network containing piracy, porn, fraud and disinformation, even doing business with figures sanctioned by the U.S. Treasury, including Russian companies that may access and store data about people browsing websites and apps in Ukraine, potentially opening a mechanism for Russian intelligence to target individuals there. A company that tells the public that it doesn't make money from guns that nevertheless does business with the maker of the AR-15, the weapon used in so many horrific mass killings, including the recent massacre of teachers and students in Uvalde, Texas. Is this some organized crime syndicate or shady offshore shell company? No, it's Google, one of the biggest and most prominent technology companies on the planet. This episode features a conversation with Craig Silverman, a journalist who has spent years uncovering fraud in the opaque world of digital advertising and media manipulation. With his colleagues at ProPublica, in a recent series of articles Silverman employed a unique investigative approach to uncover just exactly how Google operates in a shadowy realm of deceit and disinformation.

Rundown -    Mitch Morrissey in Craig's Lawyers' Lounge (Part 1) - 05:16   Mitch Morrissey in Craig's Lawyers' Lounge (Part 2) - 01:13:12   Troubadour Dave Gunders - 03:05:42   "A Sun Still Shining" by Dave Gunders - 03:13:29   Mitch Morrissey was elected District Attorney of Denver, Colorado for three terms from 2005-2017. Before that, he was a Denver prosecutor for decades. Craig Silverman was his supervising and training Chief Deputy DA in Denver District Courtroom 13. Stan Garnett was the other assigned Deputy DA.   Stan Garnett went on to be Boulder DA. Mitch became Denver DA. Former Denver DA (and future Governor) Bill Ritter compelled Mitch Morrissey to become the lead DNA prosecutor on the JonBenet Ramsey murder investigation. Poor JonBenet was brutalized in her own Boulder home on Christmas of 1996.   Morrissey was in the grand jury room where it happened. A Boulder grand jury voted to charge parents John and Patsy Ramsey but Boulder DA Alex Hunter still would not prosecute. Did Alex Hunter make the right decision? Mitch Morrissey reveals his input and the true impact of the DNA evidence in this case. Who killed JonBenet? And why?   John Ramsey, her father, just did a fascinating interview with Megyn Kelly. He explains how he has written to Governor Jared Polis demanding that a reputable DNA lab work on solving the crime against his daughter. This show highlights the contradiction of how Mitch Morrissey and John Ramsey describe the known sequence of events.   The autopsy and science revealed JonBenet was hit hard in the head, cracking her skull, and causing massive damage, and shallow breathing, but not death. The little girl's cause of death was strangulation by ligature caused by someone turning a garrote made of sticks from Patsy Ramsey's art supply kit.   If you care about this enduring mystery, know that this section begins about an hour in and surrounds the possibly incriminating sound out of the mouth of John Ramsey during his friendly interview with Megyn Kelly. Mitch Morrissey explains his attitude towards Boulder DA Mary Lacy's exoneration of the Ramsey parents.   Both Denver natives, host and guest reminisce initially about their three generations of Denver lawyers. We talk about Denver DA Phil Van Cise and his Deputy DA (and future Colorado Supreme Court Justice) O. Otto Moore who fought the Klan in the 1920s. Mitch's grandfather was FDR's US Attorney for Colorado and his Dad a prominent legislator.   We move to the 1980s and discuss Dale Tooley, Norm Early, Bill Ritter, Mike Kane, Mike Little, Brooke Wunnicke, Beth McCann, Chuck Lepley, Norm Brisson, Lamar Sims, Doug Jackson, Bonnie Benedetti, Tom Clinton, Henry Cooper and so many great Denver prosecutors.   Listen as Mitch Morrissey takes us behind the scenes on the Alan Berg murder case, the Darrent Williams murder case, and many other famous Denver homicides. The sentencing pendulum has swung toward leniency and Morrissey explains how we are paying the price. The past, present, and future of Denver and Colorado are discussed.   The job of a big city prosecutor is to provide public safety. It takes wisdom and experience to properly charge people accused of crimes. Morrissey spent five years doing Intake and understands smart ways to file cases.   We discuss whether the El Paso County law enforcers did a good job with respect to the Club Q massacre. Could better charging and prosecution decisions have prevented the shooter from committing his awful gun crimes? What about Red Flag Laws unenforced? We discuss capital punishment in Colorado.   This show runs the gamut with one of the most interesting and accomplished attorneys in Colorado. Craig's Lawyers' Lounge was proud to host this epic conversation with one of America's top crime fighters. Listen to the prosecutorial passion for justice in Denver DA Mitch Morrissey and enjoy.   Troubadour Dave Gunders delivers a brilliant conversation on the host's birthday. A Sun Still Shining is a gift of a song to get us through hard times, like the aftermath of violent crime, such as the Club Q shooting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dKgqTv1MAA

Rundown -    Jake Pucci - 13:47   Craig Reviews Dan Politica Deposition - 53:17   Alby Segall - 01:26:49   Troubadour Dave Gunders - 01:54:26   "Falling Rain" by Dave Gunders - 01:59:47   Jake Pucci is a Denver Colorado hero. His brave actions on June 10, 2020 saved the life of Darian Simon. Sadly, Isabella Thallas was murdered that day by Michael Close, the gunman convicted this week of her first degree murder, and the attempted fitst degree murder of Bella's boyfriend.   In the densely urbanized downtown Denver Ballpark neighborhood, shots rang out shortly before noon that awful day and instantly killed Isabella (Bella) Thallas. Bella and her boyfriend Darian had been walking their dog, Rocco, on a hot summer day during Denver's pandemic lockdown.   Jake Pucci was on the phone with his Dad when he heard the shots and sprang into action. Jake Pucci had EMT training and from five floors above, he ran to save Darian if he could. And he did! Save a life and you save the whole world. Thank goodness Jake Pucci saved Darian Simon.   Responding police and paramedics stayed back for fear of this active shooter. Darian would have bled out but for the tourniquet that Jake Pucci applied to Darian's femoral artery as blood gushed. Other bullet holes needed pressure and Jake Pucci got the job done. Heroes save lives. Fear be damned.   Hear Jake Pucci and try to determine why he rushed in when few others would do so. There are good people in Denver, Colorado, but we cannot tolerate these kinds of crimes. Young Mr. Pucci, himself a gun owner, wisely excoriates the presence of assault weapons in Denver Colorado.   Listen to Jake Pucci and try to determine why he rushed in when few others would do so. There are good people in Denver, Colorado, but we cannot tolerate these kinds of crimes. Young Mr. Pucci, himself a gun owner, wisely excoriates the presence of assault weapons in Denver Colorado.   Find out from Jake Pucci what it's like to be a witness in a big Denver murder trial. Michael Close's guilt has been obvious from day one, but the prosecution still had to prove it. That happened in rapid time in Denver District Courtroom 5E, a trial attended by Craig Silverman, as counsel for Darian Simon. https://www.9news.com/article/news/local/ballpark-shooting-survivor-darian-simon/73-c06b9830-54f5-4aef-95c4-66822c185c46   This murder case contained drama aplenty but not insofar as the guilt of shooter who had no defense for his indefensible violence striking down an amazing Colorado couple. Darian Simon is special, as you'll hear from Jake Pucci who has fortunately gotten to know the man he saved.   Dan Politica was not a hero here. It was his AK-47 used to kill Bella and grievously wound Darian. Defendant was a tight friend with DPD Sgt. Dan Politica at the time of this crime. Hear the sworn deposition testimony of Politica explaining how the AK-47 was stolen. And evaluate.   Homeowners insurance for Politica's Arvada home paid for the negligently stored stored weapon allegedly "stolen" by the shooter. Guilty verdicts and insurance funds collected bring no justice. Bella is gone. Darian has been damaged. So has Denver, Colorado. We cant' stand this.   The late broadcaster Alan Berg was murdered by an assault weapon welded by bigoted man who decided to kill a prominent Jew on June 18, 1984. On October 8, 2022, the late Alan Berg will be installed in the Denver Press Club Hall of Fame. This show has covered the death of Alan Berg and who was his friend. Hear Eps. 70, 77, and 101 featuring Judith Berg.   Alby Segall, Executive Director of the Denver Press Club, is a fascinating guest as he describes his background and the current situation at his historic workspace. The criteria for Hall of Fame induction are reviewed. Memories of listening to Alan Berg are shared and the ripples it sent through the Jewish world because of this anti-Semitic hate crime.   Dave Gunders makes his solid contribution with Falling Rain, the perfect song to accompany the sadness that was the murder of Isabella Thallas. Rain refreshes though and Rosh Hashanah is right around the corner. Enjoy this solemn reflective High Holiday treat from our Troubadour.

A new investigation from ProPublica reveals a million-dollar Instagram verification scheme. Reset talks with ProPublica reporter Craig Silverman to learn more about the inner workings of the scheme and the motivation of its users.

The digital advertising industry is worth billions, but many companies don't actually know where their ad dollars end up. Programmatic ad exchanges and other third-party platforms have enabled companies to buy ads without the hassle of going to each seller. But in doing so, these ad exchanges have opened the door for fake news and disinformation sites to profit. As reporter Cherise Seucharan finds out, it has become easier and easier for these sites to proliferate, while real news websites lose out.   Featured in this episode: Nandini Jammi and Claire Atkin, co-founders of Check My Ads; Augustine Fou, anti-ad fraud consultant; Danny Rogers, co-founder and executive director at The Global Disinformation Index Further reading: How an Activist Group Turned to the Dark Side to Hit Breitbart Where It Hurts, GQ Coronavirus Ad Blocking Is Starving Some News Sites Of Revenue, Craig Silverman, Buzzfeed News These Hugely Popular Local News Sites In The US And Canada Are Fake, Craig Silverman, Buzzfeed News Vice urges advertisers to stop blocking 'Black Lives Matter' and related keywords, Variety Big Advertisers Still Fund Hate And Disinformation Outside Of Facebook, Augustine Foh, Forbes Ad Funded Disinformation on Conflict in Ukraine: Ad tech Companies, Brands and Policy, Global Disinformation Index Tens of thousands of news articles are labeled as unsafe for advertisers, Adalytics Blog Support Canadaland at canadaland.com/join Sponsors: PolicyMe, Oxio.

On this week's episode of Lawfare's Arbiters of Truth series on disinformation, Evelyn Douek spoke with Craig Silverman, the media editor for Buzzfeed News and one of the leading journalists covering the disinformation beat. Craig is credited with coining the phrase “Fake News.” Evelyn spoke with him about how he feels about that, especially now that the phrase has taken on a life of its own. They also talked about a book Craig edited, the second edition of the "Verification Handbook,” available online now, that equips journalists with the tools they need to verify the things they see online. Journalism and reporting on disinformation has never been so important—but the internet has never been so chaotic, and journalists are not only observers of disinformation, but also targets of it.

Her book, titled The Feminist War on Crime: The Unexpected Role of Women's Liberation in Mass Incarceration, is thoroughly explored.   Professor Gruber has had a fascinating life as progeny of a Japanese American mother forced into an internment camp in Wyoming during WWII. Her father was a Brooklyn Jew named Dr. Samuel Gruber, aka The Shark Doc. Aya Gruber had a captivating upbringing in Miami, FL and legal education at Harvard.   Earlier this month, a challenge was issued to debate Jenna Ellis for charity on The Dan Caplis Show.

Jenna Ellis? Personal attorney for Donald J. Trump? Wasn't that Roy Cohn's job?  And then Michael Cohen? Wasn't Paul Manafort an attorney?  Wasn't Manafort's business partner Roger Stone? Didn't Stone come up with that “Stop the Steal” bullcrap to contest the “rigged” election of Joe Biden?   The New York Times quoted Ellis' colleagues Stephanie Stout and Craig Silverman in their Jenna Ellis story https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/03/us/politics/jenna-ellis-trump.html.

BuzzFeed News media editor Craig Silverman joins Brian Stelter to analyze the evolution of "fake news," a term he began using in 2014 to describe the very real phenomenon of misinformation on social media. With the 2020 election nearing an end, he reflects on Trump's weaponization of the term and the impact of four years of anti-media rhetoric. "What happened to the term 'fake news' is a great little case study in how our information environment works," he says. He also discusses the digital disinformation beat, sites like Facebook, and what the platforms are still failing to do. To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy
