President of Human Rights Foundation: Fusion GPS is a Professional Smear Organization Hired By Big-Money Players to Destroy Anyone Who Opposes Their Clients

Thor Halvorsen claims that he was exposing a corrupt company called Derwick which had sold a bunch of faulty electric plants in Venezeula, with the contract awarded by corrupt officials who got kickbacks from the company.

In Venezeula -- who'd imagine such a thing.

He says that Derwick then hired Fusion GPS to begin planting stories in "fringe websites" that he was a pedophile and drug addict.

He says their tactic is to accuse any enemy of their clients of acts so heinous that mere innocence isn't enough to remove the stain.

Sounds like he's saying they're a company behind #FakeNews.

I feel like a naif and I'm embarrassed to say this but I never knew the full dimensions of what was going on. I knew about oppo research and all that, but I didn't know there existed smear organizations with spies and ex-"journalists" on the payrolls, or that such disreputable smear-shops could so easily plant stories with their "journalist" buddies.

I like to think of myself as a cynic, but man, I'm really just a babe in the woods.
