Account Deleted By User There is a new member here who says he's affiliated with The Pastorum Group in DC, but I'll get to that later. I looked into The Pastorum Group and it appears they are a think tank combined with direct action abilities. Their language is vague, but alludes to them being puppeteers within the political spectrum, and work in combination with Democrats and their issues.  Your crisis is our crisis. We keep a cool head in sensitive situations so we can help you protect your brand. TPG provides thorough and aggressive solutions to cultivate allies and outside validators during a time of crisis, and in fact, has turned fiascoes into wins for some of the largest and most respected names in Democratic and progressive politics. https://www.thepastorumgroup.com/expertise-1/ Remind you of anyone? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pb-YuhFWCr4, Long version featuring Killary: https://www.youtube(dot)com/watch?v=HJVEOPV-Bxw About Us: The Pastorum Group is a full-service, progressive, values-first communications and political strategy firm working with candidates, causes and coalitions to create meaningful social change.

Did Pastorum have a hand in this?  Media relations is more than a press release — it’s understanding the nuance of the news cycle and what makes journalist say, “Now THAT’s a story I need to cover.” We've spent years cultivating relationships with political reporters across the country and have a rich network to reach out to. We know which reporters like to cover what, how they like to write and what they find interesting. We build earned media operations from the ground up and get your priorities to print. https://www.thepastorumgroup.com/expertise-1/ Can you think of any situations since the election where one might need their services?  WE HANDLE THAT "OH, SHIT!" MOMENT. Your crisis is our crisis. We keep a cool head in sensitive situations so we can help you protect your brand. TPG provides thorough and aggressive solutions to cultivate allies and outside validators during a time of crisis, and in fact, has turned fiascoes into wins for some of the largest and most respected names in Democratic and progressive politics. https://www.thepastorumgroup.com/expertise-1/ The team: https://www.thepastorumgroup.com/team/ If you ask me, this sounds exactly like social engineering at its finest.  The new member I mentioned at the beginning of this thread made me aware of this group and claims to be John David Podesta. He stated: "I have part ownership of the Pastorum Group who work with Seth's family," here https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/2652414, archived: http://archive.is/93KVZ The bottom of their site states: The Pastorum Group , Washington, DC, United States202-520-2155info@thepastorumgroup.com, Asana Creative Strategy | Washington DC https://www.thepastorumgroup.com/contact/ Asana Creative Strategy - "SO YOU CAN WIN THAT VOTE, THAT DOLLAR, THAT NEW MEMBER." https://www.asanastrategy.com/ So, I'm thinking that the Asana Group is where politicians go to forward their objectives and The Pastorum Group is who you go to if the brand that Asana created is under fire because you and your reputation are experiencing a political crisis of some sort. cough Always good to reinforce the feelings of your fanatics when you need them to drown out those speaking truth.  We turn advocates and influencers into your champions by leveraging their passion and reach to convert audiences into fans and customers. We scrutinize potential influencers based on type of content and level of engagement — not size of following or fame — to ensure authenticity and a great ROI.  Reputation is everything; we know this from working with a bunch of clients who find themselves in crisis situations. We recommend planning for the worst before it happens - but sometimes that just doesn't occur. Just call us your fixer. Hmm... sounds like when the mafia would call their cleaner... and of course, I'm now reminded of wet works. His name was Seth Rich Asana's IG account: https://www.instagram.com/asanacreativestrategy/ Interesting... https://www.instagram.com/p/Bkk27BAnkSK/  Are these people actually associated with the NAACP or paid protestors? https://www.instagram.com/p/Bgthcf_AJWN/?taken-by=asanacreativestrategy Hello, social engineering! (hashtagNotOneMore) https://www.instagram.com/p/BgrR5W5ABbJ/?taken-by=asanacreativestrategy So, if Podesta actually is co-owner of The Pastorum Group, he's validated this Steemit thread from last year. https://steemit(dot)com/sethrich/@v4vapid/new-ties-between-brad-bauman-pr-crisis-consultant-pastorum-group-seiu-clinton-podesta-and-comet-pizza-uncovered This page does not mention Podesta being involved with The Pastorum Group https://www.opensecrets(dot)org/revolving/rev_summary.php?id=24899 Then, there's this thread documenting more about The Pastorum Group and Seth Rich's death https://www.reddit(dot)com/r/The_Donald/comments/6bhz1q/seth_richs_family_spokesman_brad_bauman_is_a/ Here's a Voat thread related to all of this https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1916112 Disobedient Media coverage of this https://disobedientmedia(dot)com/2017/06/questions-linger-about-seth-rich-murder-details/ Still, other than a member claiming to be John Podesta, I can't find any solid evidence that he is co-owner of The Pastorum Group. When John lost the Podesta Group, did he funnel his money into The Pastorum Group, and now working through them?
