(15) In 2012, Fairbanks was living in Pittsburgh, where she voiced concern over rabbit butchering being introduced to children.

http://www.post-gazette.com/local/city/2012/09/27/Rabbit-butchering-plan-has-some-hopping-mad/stories/201209270282

(16) During this time, she worked as a sound technician.

(17) She had also found herself becoming more involved with the activist organisation Anonymous.

https://www.glamour.com/story/attention-rapists-youve-met-your-match

(18) Fairbanks used her time on Twitter to drag out extra information related to the August 11 Steubenville rape.

https://www.glamour.com/story/attention-rapists-youve-met-your-match

(19) She later drove to Ohio to organise the Occupy Steubenville protests with the help of Anonymous.

https://www.glamour.com/story/attention-rapists-youve-met-your-match

(20) The protests totalled roughly 2,000 people in attendance.

http://gawker.com/weaponize-the-media-an-anonymous-rappers-war-on-ste-512747826

(21) This was a photograph taken by her at the Occupy Steubenville event.

https://adamsocialdotcom.wordpress.com/2013/03/21/steubenville-tragedy-and-triumph/

(22) She ran the Occupy Steubenville Facebook page.

http://gawker.com/weaponize-the-media-an-anonymous-rappers-war-on-ste-512747826

(23) Because of these connections, Cassandra knew KnightSec, who had launched Operation Roll Red Roll in December, a mass doxxing threat against everybody in the area.

http://gawker.com/weaponize-the-media-an-anonymous-rappers-war-on-ste-512747826

(24) This also granted her permission to contribute to the Twitter account YourAnonCentral.

https://medium.com/@Anonrchy/snitch-alert-brandon-darby-will-be-at-rnc-filming-protesters-with-former-ftp-protester-cassandra-b46be9e715f3

https://medium.com/@Anonrchy/snitch-alert-brandon-darby-will-be-at-rnc-filming-protesters-with-former-ftp-protester-cassandra-b46be9e715f3

(26) In May 2014, during an event at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library in Yorba Linda, Dick Cheney was confronted by Fairbanks about the imprisonment of whistleblower John Kiriakou.

http://www.ocweekly.com/news/protester-confronts-dick-and-lynne-cheney-at-nixon-library-lynne-goes-nuts-6462609

(27) This is a video of the confrontation.

(28) On May 22, 2014, Fairbanks spoke about the events of OpFullerton.

(29) In July 2014, Fairbanks commented on Americans protesting illegal immigrants and refugees, calling Americans "bigot scum" for chanting "USA, USA, USA".

https://cassdeer.wordpress.com/2014/07/06/protesters-in-murrieta-terrorize-children/

(30) In August 2014, Fairbanks posted a meme about American police officers.

https://twitter.com/cassandrarules/status/502521111255724032

https://twitter.com/cassandrarules/status/502521111255724032

(31) In October 2014, she found it difficult to locate statistics on police misconduct.

https://news.vice.com/article/call-courtroom-testilying-by-police-what-it-is-perjury

(32) In September 2014, she attended a Black Lives Matter protest in relation to the death of Michael Brown in Ferguson.

http://observers.france24.com/en/20141009-shooting-teenager-police-saint-louis-ferguson

(33) In November 2014, Fairbanks spoke with three activists - T-Dubb-O, Rika Tyler and Rae - about a mock lynching set up in advance of the grand jury decision relating to Michael Brown's death.

https://www.dailydot.com/layer8/ferguson-lynching-michael-brown-darren-wilson/

(34) Apparently, in December 2014, she posed topless for Walter James Casper III. The article, however, uses very aggressive language.

http://liveaudiofrommittromney.blogspot.com/2014/12/cassandra-fairbanks-poses-covered.html

(35) She has also written many, many articles for The Free Thought Project.

http://thefreethoughtproject.com/author/cassandra/page/28/

(36) In 2015, Fairbanks started a hashtag campaign to locate Sean O'Brien, also known as the "Dancing Man", using the hashtag #FindDancingMan.

http://perezhilton.com/2015-05-22-dancing-man-sean-obrien-body-shaming-victim-speaks

(37) Sean O'Brien's photograph was initially posted onto 4chan.

http://mashable.com/2015/03/06/dancing-man-found/#j2SRGwbIfmqx

(38) Fairbanks first discovered the photograph when it was posted onto her Los Angeles-based online group, GNI.

http://mashable.com/2015/03/06/dancing-man-found/#j2SRGwbIfmqx

(39) He was eventually located through Twitter by Robert A. Pabich.

His Twitter account, though, has been suspended between when I started spotlight research and now.

https://twitter.com/RobertAPabich/

https://twitter.com/RobertAPabich/

(40) Sean then wrote a message direct to Fairbanks herself, signalling victory.

https://twitter.com/CassandraRules/status/573817848507715585

https://twitter.com/CassandraRules/status/573817848507715585

(41) Fairbanks then organised a party for him at the L.A. Memorial Coliseum.

https://www.today.com/popculture/dancing-man-today-show-defies-bullies-dances-meghan-trainor-t22501

(42) The party featured guests such as Andrew W.K., Monica Lewinsky and Moby.

http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/gossip/dancing-man-honored-hollywood-celeb-dance-party-article-1.2234593

(43) Actress Tatyana Ali was also there.

http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-dancing-man-hollywood-bash-20150526-story.html

(44) This is a photograph of Fairbanks dancing with Sean O'Brien.

(45) Fairbanks also started to write for Photography Is Not a Crime at this point.

https://photographyisnotacrime.com/author/cassandrarules/

(46) She also began writing for Sputnik News.

https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/02/06/trump-supporters-at-the-deploraball

(47) In 2015, Fairbanks protested the FBI informant Sabu, wearing a "Fuck Sabu" shirt. Sabu had entrapped Jeremy Hammond.

https://medium.com/@Anonrchy/snitch-alert-brandon-darby-will-be-at-rnc-filming-protesters-with-former-ftp-protester-cassandra-b46be9e715f3

(48) On January 20, 2015, she created a YouTube channel.

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCa8uSWbSAFe_KpCUSSCBp1Q

(49) On May 12, 2015, a gossip website called The Dirty suggested that Fairbanks was a cam girl and a paid escort.

https://gossip.thedirty.com/gossip/hollywood/main-cassandra-fairbanks-not-trying-charitable/#post-1808338

(50) BIG if true.

(51) On August 10, 2015, Fairbanks was arrested while covering anti-police brutality protests in St. Louis.

https://photographyisnotacrime.com/2015/08/pinac-reporter-cassandra-fairbanks-live-streams-own-arrest-while-covering-protests-in-st-louis/

(52) Her arrest spread across Twitter and, after the police spoke with Sputnik News, she was released.

https://photographyisnotacrime.com/2015/08/pinac-reporter-cassandra-fairbanks-live-streams-own-arrest-while-covering-protests-in-st-louis/

(53) This is the video of Fairbanks getting arrested.

(54) Interestingly enough, Tim Pool was also arrested at the exact same time while he was working for Fusion.

https://photographyisnotacrime.com/2015/08/pinac-reporter-cassandra-fairbanks-live-streams-own-arrest-while-covering-protests-in-st-louis/

(55) At this time, Fairbanks was very anti-cop.

https://medium.com/@Anonrchy/snitch-alert-brandon-darby-will-be-at-rnc-filming-protesters-with-former-ftp-protester-cassandra-b46be9e715f3

(56) In September 2015, when confederate flags were being stolen from cemeteries, Fairbanks offered zero sympathy at the time.

https://twitter.com/CassandraRules/status/640010175609479169

https://twitter.com/CassandraRules/status/640010175609479169

(57) On September 17, 2015, Fairbanks appeared in "Dancing Man the Documentary".

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5065176/?ref_=nm_flmg_slf_3

(58) It was around this time that the Presidential elections had begun, with the DNC and the RNC building up their candidates.

(59) On September 25, 2015, Fairbanks was wearing her Bernie Sanders shirt for him to become the President of the United States.

https://plus.google.com/+OleOlson/posts/d6dcJgea7Qa

(60) She also managed to snag a picture of herself with Senator Sanders.

https://twitter.com/VABVOX/status/896581816248709120

https://twitter.com/VABVOX/status/896581816248709120

(61) On October 1, 2015, one of her tweets was used to help identify shooter Chris Harper Mercer.

http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2015/10/01/umpqua_community_college_shooter_chris_harper_mercer_profile.html

(62) On November 2, 2015, she was disappointed at the results of the Anonymous's KKK leaks being muddled and incorrect before they were even released.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-intersect/wp/2015/11/02/how-anonymouss-big-kkk-dump-got-muddled-before-it-even-began/

(63) On November 3, 2015, Fairbanks wrote about policy brutality in 2015.

http://www.addictinginfo.org/2015/11/03/police-in-the-united-states-have-now-killed-1000-people-in-2015/

(64) On December 1, 2015, another Fairbanks tweet was used in discussion over Blue Lives Matter, with a desire to call out right-wing extremism.

http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/true-color-blue-lives-matter_us_565de1f9e4b079b2818beacd

(65) She was always anti-Hillary.

https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/02/06/trump-supporters-at-the-deploraball

(66) She was then in a documentary entitled Black and Blue about police brutality, although I am unsure whether this was actually released.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4472010/?ref_=nm_flmg_slf_1

(67) In June 2016, Fairbanks started shifting towards supporting Donald Trump after the Orlando Pulse shooting.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-trending-37507542

(68) This was because the son of one of her mother's friends was shot in the incident.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-trending-37507542

(69) She firmly boarded the "Trump Train" after listening to Trump's interview with the Washington Post editorial board about education in America.

http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/former-bernie-supporter-i-hope-left-gives-president-trump-chance-1590658

(70) She released a video on June 26, 2016 discussing how she shifted from the left to the right by supporting Trump for President.

(71) Breitbart then wrote an article about a liberal accusing Fairbanks of using her breasts to promote fascism.

http://www.breitbart.com/texas/2016/06/27/pro-hillary-feminist-attacks-trump-supporter-big-boobs-video/

(72) Which, again, is BIG IF TRUE.

(73) In July 2016, FreeAnons were concerned about Fairbanks's association with Brandon Darby, an FBI informant.

https://freeanons.org/warning-rnc-beyond/

(74) They had been described as close associates.

https://medium.com/@Anonrchy/snitch-alert-brandon-darby-will-be-at-rnc-filming-protesters-with-former-ftp-protester-cassandra-b46be9e715f3

(75) Anonymous was REALLY not happy with this association, due to Fairbanks's former associations with organisations such as Anonymous, Black Lives Matter, et cetera.

https://medium.com/@Anonrchy/snitch-alert-brandon-darby-will-be-at-rnc-filming-protesters-with-former-ftp-protester-cassandra-b46be9e715f3

(76) She later recorded a video of Stephen Colbert storming the stage of the Republican National Committee when he dressed up as Caesar Flickman in a parody of Donald Trump.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/video/national/stephen-colbert-hijacks-the-rnc-stage/2016/07/18/2a4f4adc-4cb2-11e6-bf27-405106836f96_video.html

(77) She has stated, on numerous occasions, that Sputnik News did not shift her viewpoint from Bernie to Trump.

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-russia-disinformation-analysis/u-s-government-loses-to-russias-disinformation-campaign-advisers-idUSKBN1492PA

(78) Joe Fionda, a former Sputnik News writer, suggested that Fairbanks's writing for Sputnik did influence voters, but it was her decision to support Trump with no influence from others.

http://dailycaller.com/2016/11/07/the-kremlins-missionaries-how-russia-uses-media-as-its-new-cold-warriors/

(79) On July 26, 2016, a man attempted to sic protestors on Fairbanks due to her approval of Trump.

http://www.theamericanmirror.com/video-man-threatens-sic-dnc-protesters-female-trump-supporter/

(80) In August 2016, Fairbanks and Mike Cernovich teamed up to showcase the protests outside of the Democratic National Committee.

https://www.proudboymag.com/proudboy-meets-cassandra-fairbanks/

(81) During her interview with ProudBoy Magazine, she admitted she participated in the creation of fake news against Trump.

https://www.proudboymag.com/proudboy-meets-cassandra-fairbanks/

(82) In September 2016, Fairbanks became a fan of Guccifer 2.0.

https://twitter.com/CassandraRules/status/775885995610869760

https://twitter.com/CassandraRules/status/775885995610869760

(83) She spoke with Guccifer 2.0 directly.

https://bigleaguepolitics.com/strange-interactions-guccifer-2-0/

(84) Guccifer 2.0 offered Hillary Clinton's hacked e-mails to her, but she declined due to Sputnik News's rules.

http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/fbi-gets-sputnik-emails-critics-see-red-line-for-media-crossed-in-russia-probe/article/2634023

(85) She later concluded that Guccifer 2.0 wanted to assist Bernie Sanders, not Donald Trump.

https://twitter.com/CassandraRules/status/840440758528331776

https://twitter.com/CassandraRules/status/840440758528331776

(86) By October 2016, Fairbanks no longer supported the organisation Black Lives Matter due to their hostile rhetoric.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-trending-37507542

(87) On October 17, 2016, Fairbanks appeared on Panorama, in the episode "Paxman On Trump vs. Clinton: Divided America".

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt6140472/?ref_=nm_flmg_slf_2

(88) On October 24, 2016, she had an interview with Brought to Light.

http://broughttolight.com/2016/10/24/making-the-news-cassandra-fairbanks/

(89) On November 4, 2016, she wrote an article for WeAreChange abotu Marina Abramović, John Podesta and Tony Podesta's connections to spirit cooking.

https://wearechange.org/spirit-cooking-disturbing-podesta-email-yet-warning-graphic-content/

(90) On November 7, 2016, she was open to the notion that John Podesta used code words in his e-mails.

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-russia-disinformation-analysis/u-s-government-loses-to-russias-disinformation-campaign-advisers-idUSKBN1492PA

(91) On January 5, 2017, she started to help Justin Liverman with his legal troubles after he was accused of being WikiLeaks' source.

https://twitter.com/cassandrarules/status/817191973769580544

https://twitter.com/cassandrarules/status/817191973769580544

(92) She then helped organise the DeploraBall for January 19, 2017.

https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/02/06/trump-supporters-at-the-deploraball

(93) This is a photograph of herself, Cernovich and Lauren Southern from the event.

http://www.pictame.com/media/1432887964014426574_31104486

(94) Because of her political alignment now being pro-Trump, she became a target for liberal protestors.

https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/02/06/trump-supporters-at-the-deploraball

(95) On the day of President Trump's inauguration, Fairbanks was assaulted by anti-Trump protestors.

https://www.inquisitr.com/3906556/ex-bernie-sanders-supporter-cassandra-fairbanks-assaulted-at-trump-inauguration/

(96) Antifa also started to threaten her daughter during this time.

https://www.infowars.com/antifa-threatens-young-daughter-of-pro-trump-journalist/

(97) In April 2017, Fairbanks went to the White House with Cernovich after receiving her press pass.

(98) She stood behind the press podium and flashed the OK symbol with Cernovich.

https://twitter.com/CassandraRules/status/858090817654853632

https://twitter.com/CassandraRules/status/858090817654853632

(99) As such, she was then accused of using the "white supremacist hand sign" by Emma Roller of Fusion.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/white-power-hand-symbol-cassandra-fairbanks-mike-cernovich-alt-right-white-house-a7709446.html

(100) WHICH IS... B I G (REALLY BIG)... IF... TRUE!

(101) In actuality, she was doing the standard okay hand symbol, something which has existed for many, many, many years.

(102) The Anti-Defamation League stated that it was not a hate symbol.

https://www.adl.org/blog/no-the-ok-gesture-is-not-a-hate-symbol

(103) It had, in fact, originated from 4chan to test liberals.

http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/ok-symbol-%F0%9F%91%8C

(104) On April 5, 2017, Tim Pool released an interview between himself and Fairbanks about Russian propaganda, and whether or not Sputnik News was a part of it.

(105) On April 10, 2017, Fairbanks complained to the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Internet Crime Complaint Centre over Louise Mensch's Russian investigation.

https://www.buzzfeed.com/josephbernstein/the-crowdsourced-russia-twitter-investigation-has-prompted?utm_term=.vpNkq7k5x#.xs1Y5xYd9

(106) Louise Mensch is nothing but a stellar investigator and has been backed up by numerous people on Twitter.

(107) In May 2017, Fairbanks left Sputnik News as she was the only Trump supporter in the office.

http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/fbi-gets-sputnik-emails-critics-see-red-line-for-media-crossed-in-russia-probe/article/2634023

(108) After Fairbanks left Sputnik News, she began writing for Big League Politics.

https://bigleaguepolitics.com/author/cassandra/

(109) On May 26, 2017, she attended Laura Loomer's birthday celebrations.

https://twitter.com/CassandraRules/status/868354830363918337

https://twitter.com/CassandraRules/status/868354830363918337

(110) In June 2017, Fairbanks sued Emma Roller because of her accusations that she was a white supremacist.

https://www.buzzfeed.com/josephbernstein/a-pro-trump-writer-just-sued-a-fusion-reporter-for-accusing?utm_term=.fxK7QL7y1#.ypabvKb6d

(111) On June 5, 2017, she spoke with Gavin McInnes about the rise of leftist violence.

(112) On June 25, 2017, she spoke at the Rally Against Political Violence, also known as the Rally For Peace, which was organised by Cernovich and Jack Posobiec.

(113) The rally was organised in protest over the violence in the shooting of Representative Steve Scalise and others.

http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2017/06/25/rally-for-peace-trump-supporters-condemn-lefts-climate-of-violence-at-white-house/

(114) Steve Scalise's shooting has been covered in a previous spotlight. https://twitter.com/The_War_Economy/status/926963792021467136

https://twitter.com/The_War_Economy/status/926963792021467136

(115) Fairbanks was later scheduled to attend the Boston Free Speech Rally on August 19, 2017, but ultimately dropped out.

http://dailyfreepress.com/2017/08/23/boston-free-speech-rally-held-in-boston-thousands-of-counter-protesters-attend/

(116) This was due to safety concerns.

https://www.buzzfeed.com/mikehayes/alt-right-organizers-vow-to-hold-boston-rally-despite?utm_term=.prnQ1JQd2#.na5OybOkD

(117) This did not stop the Nazi accusations as it came off the hilt of Richard Spencer's Unite the Right Rally in Charlottesville, where tensions were incredibly high between the left and the right.

https://twitter.com/CassandraRules/status/897162317531578368

https://twitter.com/CassandraRules/status/897162317531578368

(118) On August 1, 2017, she wrote an article about Seymour Hersh's discussion about Seth Rich being the source of the DNC Leaks to WikiLeaks.

https://bigleaguepolitics.com/audio-seymour-hersh-states-seth-rich-wikileaks-source/
