Heading into the Holidays

 Lots of questions about the future. Are they likely to do some sort of flash PR for the holidays? Or more from the prior publicized joint ventures?  When will we see something from Netflix? Or more Spotify?   Or even Pearl? And, what do you think the Holiday card will be?

Will the Appeal Turn the Tide?

 Well, well, well. The news is coming out that she might not be the most reliable of sources for information. (who would have thunk it?)  And that she did, in fact, cooperate with the authors of the Finding Freedom book (really?).  And that recollections may vary (with emails and texts to back things up). Do you think the appeal will overturn the prior judgement? If it doesn't, do you think her reputation of accuracy will be damaged long term?  Sometimes wounds may not kill short term but do the damage long term enough to bring them down. Could this damage her attempts for a trajectory of the new humanitarian shining star? How do you think it will play out on Netflix?  Or will it if it goes against her?

Last Big Push or More Major Fireworks to come?

Their MO has always been one offs or hit and run type flashy photo ops and then crickets into the night style.  That we know. But they seem to be having longer and longer time periods between these PR moments.  Is this because they are finding less and less organizations willing to take the little offered by them?  Or is it that they are working behind the scenes to pull together something for their commitments to Netflix or Spotify as in their backs are up against the wall contractually? And what about the idea of people being paid by Sunshine? Is it a bunt to deceive or could it be real?  Or a little of both?  If is it not real, is there a way they could use it to swing people to their version of their truth without long term fallout?
