What's up with Ben Swann lately? (UPDATE: website & social media accounts deleted)

[Thor]

From FB:

Hey guys, Ben Swann here... I want to thank everyone who has contributed to the ISIS video crowdfund. Unfortunately, we are not going to be moving forward with that project at this time. EVERYONE who contributed WILL BE REFUNDED THEIR FULL DONATION.

 

[Thor]

Also from FB, just now:

Hey guys, everyone is asking if things are OK. They are. I will be heading back to CBS46 on Monday but there are going to be some changes. The biggest one will be that this social page will go dark f/n on Tzuday, Feb 1. We've been building this project for 6 years and those who have come to know me.. I hope you have also come to trust me.

Edit: Ben editted the text to change "Tuesday, Feb 1" to "Tzuday, Feb 1." Specifically stating Tzuday. And Feb 1st is Wednesday. Not Tuesday.

someone like Jon Stewart

I hope you mean someone like his persona on the Daily Show and not actually Jon Stewart. Jon sold out once Obama was put in office. Glenn Grenwald might be someone you actually mean.

This is what happens when you talk about Pizzagate.

More than likely, the Clinton's own him now.

"We've been building this project for 6 years and those who have come to know me.. I hope you have also come to trust me."

"Those who know me, trust me."

Translation:

"They know where my family lives, time to shut my life's work down."

I wonder what TZUDAY means.....to purposefully misspell it kinda takes away the chance of typo.


He says his FB page will go dark (for now).

Here is my interpretation and theory;

It probably means that CBS wants control of the content he produces for them and also they renegotiated his contract so that he exclusively work for them but they are giving him more control and more money.

And he asks for trust because he feels like he now has a bigger platform or he thinks the extra money he will make will help produce better content in the future when/if he leaves.

The Pizzagate video is still on his FB page (which I thought was deleted but I guess I was wrong).

Like this one from last week:


And I agree, failed fundraising makes one go back to the thing that pays the bills.

Geeze, I was way off.

Anyway, not sure what to think of all this stuff he's posting.

Ben Swann’s Truth in Media site down, Twitter, Instagram, FB accounts gone

This was posted on Wednesday, February 1, 2017 by Rodney Ho on his AJC Radio & TV Talk blog

CBS46 evening anchor Ben Swann today blocked his “Truth in Media” website and dropped his primary Twitter and Instagram feeds, as well as his Facebook “Truth in Media” page, which had 427,000 plus followers.

But he hasn’t entirely disappeared off social media. He managed to keep a different Facebook page alive, one that only has 1,800 followers. The last time he posted on this site was January 17, the morning before he aired his “Reality Check” about Pizzagate which went viral and led to a week-long suspension. He came back on air on CBS46 this past Monday.

Amazing: He left us a massive hint. "Tzuday" as in Sun Tzu(art of war) trump wrote "art of the deal", and Feb 1, 2017 falls on a Wednesday. Who joins trumps cabinet officially on Feb 1, 2017? Jeff Sessions. 6 years in the making you say? Like back in 2011 when Breitbart called out pizzagate? Holy fucking shit!!!!!! pizzagate confirmed!!!!

Ben Swann created a new Facebook account, which can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/swannCBS46/

CBS wants control of the content he produces for them.

He doesn't produce content for CBS. He produces content for the Meredith Corporation.

Swann didn't get enough support from libertarians through crowd sourcing, so he had to go back to local TV news. He still does his Reality Check segments and they are very good.

I can't speak for all libertarians, but what I've seen in the Ron Paul movement is that we've blown our wads on failed presidential campaigns that gave us hope but not much else and then never really looked into personal financial solvency so that we could actually fund other projects. After the initial money bombs people overestimated Ron Paul's fundraising strength because the vast majority of Ron Paul supporters had not reached the FEC limits of $2,300. For the average Ron Paul supporter the real limit was more like $230 or even $23 dollars. I've seen people so broke on here that they've posted threads asking "Can somebody order me a pizza?" And truth be told, while I've never done that, I've been there. Until we figure out a way to truly help each other financially, a movement that is dependent on the generosity of working class people is going to struggle. Ron Paul moneybomb amounts were evidence of desperation for something real as opposed to evidence of a reliable funding source for liberty causes. In a way from this I can understand Donald Trump's appeal to some in the liberty movement. His campaign was in no way ever dependent upon donations. He had the billions to self fund and he is a master at media whoring. There is simply no way to media blackout someone like Donald Trump.

I would like to clarify this, for people who are not paying attention to this matter.

CBS didn't want to tighten control on his content when he talked about all of the controversial issues we know he talked about over the many years, week after week.

CBS wanted to tighten up control on his content after he talked about Pizzagate.

But that's a fake conspiracy right?

OMG.

I know what's going on now. I recall very briefly hearing about #pizzagate and the massive pedophilia ring that supposedly includes LOTS of politicians and business leaders in D.C. and this pizza joint. I remember the code words (symbols, as Swann says) that people supposedly use when they go into "order."

I just found Ben Swann's video on pizzagate as well, so everything is becoming clearer. Just finished listening to it, and I now understand where the conspiracies are coming from. I'm shocked that video is still even allowed to be viewed, or that his affiliate let him air that.

So, what is going now since he's gone dark?

Ben hit a nerve. Either real, or imaginary. By mentioning Podesta (i.e. Hillary - guilt by association) he pissed a lot of people in Atlanta off who watch CBS46... and a lot of other people who just do not want to believe something like this could possibility happen from those elected to our government. They think he is a "conspiracy" fringe reporter.... as far as I could tell from reading comments on a local Atlanta website discussing the subject...

I think Ben will be justified and those people will wake up to a harsh reality check, but time will tell.

You're right. Though I would posit that this is specifically Pizzagate related, not Hillary/Podesta related. You can see that over the past year he has many videos on his (deleted) youtube (archive) dissing Hillary, Obama, Brazile, DOJ, etc.

My theory is that he is collaborating with the new administration and like-minded journalists, going dark as to not shine a light on the cockroaches, until Jeff Sessions is in position to order arrests.

Sessions isn't going to be ordering any arrests of politicians. He is of Washington. They fake argue and don't go to committee hearings and things like that. But they aren't going to start putting people in jail. That's a pipe dream.

Maybe, maybe not. I don't like dealing in absolutes when it comes to individuals anymore, and you have to admit that something is going on. Maybe Sessions just really hates pedophiles.
