Whatever 'George News' is has no affiliation with George Magazine. I posted a comment yesterday saying basically the same thing, but really hate seeing people being misled, which is what I believe this 'George News' is trying to do to us.

I'll break it down again. The publishing rights/trademark etc to Geroge was controlled by a publishing house after JFK Jr. died. They sat on it for a while and were considering doing a revamp, but it never happened, and they eventually sold everything to a billionaire originally from South Africa and his Canadian partners. He had been trying to purchase it for a long time before finally convincing them to sell. There were plans to relaunch, but it did not happen on a widescale level (he made a few mini issues which he distributed privately to members of a club he owned, this was years and years ago). He still owns all the rights. Huge Kennedy-dynasty fan.

Anything you see currently claiming George-related has ZERO affiliation with the actual George Magazine/company. The dude who owns it sucks and is a Xiden supporter. After seeing talk of this George News yesterday I reached out to both the current TM owner (and his son since I didn't initially get a response) with a screenshot asking for confirmation that this was related to George Magazine. He confirmed it wasn't and asked me for links to the Youtube channel and anything else purporting to be linked to George. At this point I didn't reply and blocked him because I didn't want to be a narc in case he's asking for info for legal purposes. But Please, please, PLEASE be super skeptical about anything you see and research. Notice this Geroge News is taking donations and selling shirts/phone cases etc. People can believe whatever they want, but this reeks of a scammer.

Sorry this turned into a novel, I'm getting pissed lately seeing people trying to profit off us and mislead and also getting kind of annoyed that people that you would expect to be putting in the effort to verify aren't which in turns leads to disinfo spread to the masses. We're the ones who are supposed to sus out fake news bs not add to the tsunami.

That's not a given. The dude who currently owns the George trademark and rights has never done anything with it. He might not be aware of the way it's being used since this isn't exactly done on a large scale the general public would be familiar with, or might not care (he's a billionaire from SA). I posted more details about ownership in a comment, but the guy who does own it isn't what I would call a friend of ours. Big Xidon shill / proimpeachment posts yadda yadda yadda.

THANK YOU. I just posted something similar before I saw your comment. The person behind this is a fraud and has no affiliation with the George brand. They are trying to fool us and profit with Youtube donations and selling crap sweatshirts. The person who actually owns the George name, publishing rights and trademark (they purchased It from Hachette Filipacchi Media) isn't what I would call 'friendly' to us. Even though he's not even a US citizen (he owns a home here but is a billionaire from South America) he's a pro-Biden cuck. We're supposed to be the smart ones who actually put in time to do the research and seek the truth. Seeing scammers getting pinned posts pisses me off and encourages other people to make crap websites and youtube channels pushing out fake comms to make a buck. It's embarrassing.

This is not legit and is someone hijacking the 'George' name/brand as an attempt to gain credibility within the community and financially profit (it's already working - they're receiving donations on Youtube). They have no ties to George.

After John Jr. passed, the name and trademark, and publishing rights were purchased from Hachette Filipacchi Media U.S. by a man originally from South America who also has homes in Canada and the US. He still holds the rights, though he no longer does anything with the name or brand. He is not a supporter of [rightful] POTUS and was very vocal about his support for Biden and flipping the Senate. This is an example of needing to vette. We need to stick with legit comms and don't get sidetracked by people with bad intentions.

I'm originally from Indiana and was never impressed with Pence.

A month after he was sworn in as VP, two 13 year old girls from Delphi IN were out for a nature walk and brutally murdered. In an act of pure heroism, one of the girls was able to conceal her phone and filmed a video of the man right as he was abducting them. Police were able to recover the video and the media picked it up but it wasn't as big of a story as it should be. Many back home were hopeful that Pence would help elevate it, but he didn't. There's literally a video of this man with audio of him talking and forcing the girls to go with him BUT HES NEVER BEEN IDENTIFIED! 4 years later and we still have a double child killer on the loose. The police and the families tried to get in contact with Pence and were told he knows about what happened. If Pence had escalated that and brought it to Trump's attention I always thought it would be something POTUS would care about. One Tweet of the video would have gotten both the media to cover it more since they hang on to every word he says, and get it in front of hundreds of millions of people. I really believe if that had happened it would have been solved.

He really is a prolific writer. I would love to see what's on that thumb drive and hope the truth can come out sometime when it is safe to do so.

Absolutely done purposefully. And I kind of love it.

I also like how they try to use the word 'truther' like it's a bad thing. Deliberating the facts and attempting to determine accuracy is just ~appalling~!
