     Soon-to-be New Jersey Senator Cory Booker is set to transcend Obama in the realm of both crony corporatist<\/a> dealing and campaign technology<\/a>, all at the same time.<\/p>\n

     In a puff-piece<\/a> on the civil liberties hating Cory Booker, the “Old Gray Lady” revealed that Cory Booker has been ingratiating himself with the big-wigs of Silicon Valley, including LinkedIn, Facebook, Google, and Twitter.<\/p>\n

Resistance is futile\u2026<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n

     He has done so well to enthrall and ingratiate, that many of these companies top execs to form his own tech start-up.\u00a0 Of course, Booker doesn’t actually run the company, he just gets the equity and his name attached.\u00a0 And connection to fat-cat donors, of course.<\/p>\n

     This dealing has made Booker a multi-millionaire and full fledge member of the “tech” elite.\u00a0 It’s a good deal for having to do nothing more than be charismatic and get some hard-left donor with deep pockets to swoon, with some going so far as to call him Dear Leader <\/span>“Thought Leader.”\u00a0\u00a0 This partnership goes both ways, with many of the tech executives children getting plum assignment sin booker’s political campaign.<\/p>\n

     The benefits given to children are not limited to that of the executives of the tech companies, but to the spoiled brats of media executives as well:\u00a0 “Waywire has put Andrew Zucker, 15, the son of Jeff Zucker, president of CNN, on its advisory board and given him stock options.”\u00a0 Though even a 15 year old couldn’t stand it<\/a>, and has since quit.<\/p>\n

     This unholy trinity of na\u00efve but deep pocketed tech executives with everyone personal data and the ability to utilize it, an ambitious though incompetent mayor, and a media more interested in pushing an narrative than report on the truth create a perfect storm.\u00a0 Resistance will be futile to the fully integrated machine, which makes Obama’s campaign look like a joke.<\/p>\n
