When I wrote this in 2015, I wrote I would not be the only researcher/writer and the articles would appear on other outlets. That did not turn out to be the case. Read it, then I will explain. You'll want to hear this. https://rosselderdotcom.wordpress.com/2015/06/16/the-patriot-deception-introduction/

Before I began publishing my Patriot Deception series, I reached out to political contacts and people within the media. Bear in mind, this was before Trump entered the race.

"YEAH! Show us what you got. Would love to see it," I heard from a few in media.

Then reps from the GOP, claiming to support my efforts to keep RU propaganda out of our politics, hooked me up with a marketing team. Seems nice, right?

Skip to the other writers/researchers part. No big conspiracy involved. They just bailed on me after our first meeting. It was going to be too much work, apparently. End that part. I'm not bitter. Yes, yes I am.

So it is now summer of 2016 before the next election. This GOP recommended marketing team contacts me all excited about my work. Since all but a few had ignored my work, I TOO was excited. And they're are so supportive, they want to market/promote my work...for free.

They send over a contract. I have my attorney look it over. I look it over. Pretty basic, exclusive deal.

"We'll take care of everything, let us handle it. Don't contact other marketing or political/media. We will do it all. Love, marketing people."

Since no other marketing people seemed interested, I went ahead and signed it. We then had conference calls where all the articles were discussed, how I did my research, thank you for your service, yada yada.
Willing to do interviews? Yes. Willing to do radio and TV? Absolutely.

I was very excited. Not gonna lie. Someone finally listening to me after I was screaming into the wilderness, alone, made me happy. I even told people. Hey, I now have marketing! I might be on TV! I'm gonna need to shave!

Everything was going to be awesome.

This is where Morgan Freeman tells us, "And yet, things would not be so awesome for poor Mr. Elder."

The marketing team disappeared. At first I got excuses about falling behind on work but hey we're all in!

Then they stopped accepting my calls altogether. Stopped emails and private messages. Shut me out completely. Literally disappeared. It was now September of 2016.

My exclusive marketing contract did not expire until January of 2017. After the election. After inauguration.

I had been silenced by the political machine in Washington, DC. By my own party.

With a legally binding contract, there was little recourse.

Oh, I bundled things together and sent them to the media. CNN, FOX, even the Blaze and Glen Beck. NYT, and various news outlets.

I received not a single reply. Not one.

Imagine my surprise when 18 months later every media outlet in America was constant Russia Collusion talk.

Then imagine my surprise much later when people within the political machine quietly told me, "Hey, I've heard of you."

No real explanation.

Until after the 2020 election.

Thanks to someone who is tired of it all, I now know it was done on purpose. People were told to ignore me. Word on the street is, people were told, "This guy's nuts. Just ignore him."

And they did.

That was 4 and 5 years ago. I'm over it. (Obviously not) But I never explained this to anyone publicly, short of a few vague posts here and there.
