Dominion’s $1.6 billion defamation suit against Newsmax over election lies set for September 2024 trial

Dominion Voting Systems’ $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against Newsmax over the right-wing network’s airing of 2020 election lies is scheduled to go to trial in late September 2024, a Delaware judge decided.

 

Dominion sued Newsmax in the wake of the 2020 election over the network’s on-air promotion of the false claim that the voting technology company rigged the election against then-President Donald Trump by flipping millions of votes to Joe Biden

 

The decision by Delaware Superior Court Judge Eric Davis means — barring an out-of-court settlement — Trump’s lies about the 2020 election will be front and center at a four-week trial during the closing weeks of the 2024 election.

 

Davis presided over a similar high-profile defamation case brought by Dominion against Fox News over the network’s airing of election lies. The case ended in April with a last-second $787 million settlement, the largest publicly known defamation settlement in US history.

Dominion filed its lawsuit against Newsmax in August 2021 and is seeking $1.6 billion in damages.

 

The allegations stem from Newsmax broadcasts that included claims that Dominion “has a long history of rigging elections,” its software “altered and flipped” votes in the 2020 election, and that the “entire election was hacked” in Biden’s favor. None of those claims were true, even though they were peddled on Newsmax by Trump allies, including Sidney Powell, Rudy Giuliani, Mike Lindell and Patrick Byrne, who are facing defamation lawsuits of their own.

Newsmax is also facing a massive defamation suit from Smartmatic, another voting technology company that was accused by right-wing figures of rigging the 2020 election

Ontario man stumbles upon ‘mind-boggling' North Korean state TV broadcasts

 

 

 

North Korea is extremely selective about what it chooses to show to outsiders, yet an Ontario man was able to tune in to a live feed of North Korean state television. Jeff Semple speaks with Peter Fairlie about how he stumbled upon the network, and what he saw.

Szabo was allegedly the organizer and moderator of chat groups where the conspirators communicated with one another. They used monikers to communicate including, for Szabo, “Jonah,” “Jonah Goldberg,” “Plank,” “Rambler,” “War Lord,” “Shovel,” “Cypher,” “Kollectivist,” “Mortenberg Shekelstorms,” and “NotThuggin2”; and for Radovanovic, “XBD31,” “XDR,” “Angus,” “Thuggin,” “Thug Hunter,” “NotThuggin,” “DCL,” and “AOD.”

 

The indictment alleges that, in furtherance of the conspiracy, the defendants committed swatting attempts against 40 private victims and 61 official victims, including members of Congress, cabinet-level executive branch officials, senior official of federal law enforcement agencies, and state officials. The indictment also alleges that the defendants committed bomb threats against four victim businesses, four victim religious institutions, and one victim university.

Foreign nationals charged in swatting campaign against senior US government officials

Two foreign nationals have been charged in a swatting conspiracyagainst dozens of individuals, including senior U.S. government officials.

Thomasz Szabo of Romania and Nemanja Radovanovic of Serbia were each charged with one count of conspiracy, 29 counts of threats and false information about explosives and four counts of transmitting threats in interstate and foreign commerce, according to the press release from the U.S. attorney’s office in Washington, D.C

 

The indictment alleged that Szabo, 26, and Radovanovic, 21, were involved in a swatting conspiracy that began in December 2020 and continued through January 2024. The duo allegedly carried out the campaign by reporting false emergencies to provoke a police response at the victims’ homes, according to the indictment.

 

The indictment alleged that the two of them targeted 40 private victims and 61 government officials. The officials included members of Congress, Cabinet-level executive branch officials, senior officials of federal law enforcement agencies and state officials, per the press release.

 

The swatting incidents allegedly also included committing bomb threats against four businesses, four religious institutions and one university, the attorney’s office said.

 

“Swatting is not a victimless prank — it endangers real people, wastes precious police resources, and inflicts significant emotional trauma,” said U.S. Attorney Matthew Graves, who announced the charges Wednesday. “We will use every tool at our disposal to find the perpetrators and hold them accountable, no matter where they might be.”

Summary translation : Secret Service  and Romanian agents ‘’ met ‘’ Szabo in Jan 18, 2024. He admitted acts started Dec 2020 and gave up his accomplice.

Since about a quarter of US live alone ( single person household) , most of us know of someone who died alone. …so I am perhaps a bit callous /desensitized on that aspect.

 

The cringe part and unnerving bit is that her desk was in a “cubicle”, not a private-close-my-door office.

And yes, there were other workers , in other cubicles throughout those 4 days…Heck they even complained about  a bad odor and cursed the plumbing. Arghhhh

 

Plus, think about the fact that banks DO have security /surveillance  cameras .

Not to mention the fact that DAILY janitorial /office cleaning is pretty much a standard practice….what gives ? I am baffled

All of your points are excellent, and maybe we'll learn some (weakly) extenuating details.

[Boiler 45,467]

The employee who spoke to 12News added that multiple people complained of a foul odor but assumed it was due to plumbing problems.

Another employee told the outlet: “It’s really heartbreaking and I’m thinking, ‘What if I were just sitting there? No one would check on me?’” The employee went on to add: “To hear she’s been sitting at the desk like that would make me feel sick … and nobody did anything. That’s how she spent her last moments.”
