Prince's estate has demanded Donald Trump stops using the late star's music at his rallies. The pop star's hit Purple Rain is often heard at Mr Trump's rallies, most recently in Southhaven, Mississippi, last week. Speaking on behalf of the estate, Prince's half-brother Omarr Baker asked the president to no longer use the song.
He said: "The Prince Estate has never given permission to President Trump or The White House to use Prince's songs and have requested that they cease all use immediately."
A spokesman for the estate confirmed they had requested Mr Trump no longer use the song.

It is not the first time Mr Trump has been asked not to play an artist's music.
Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler filed a cease-and-desist letter after the president played his song Livin' On The Edge at a rally.
The Rolling Stones also took issue with Mr Trump using their music after he played Start Me Up at an event.

I don't see myself as being under oath or having allegiance to anyone.
I wouldn't know how to prove that, eisgesis.
I support Trump/Q because I like their results. But not uncondtionally. There's still a part of me that is open toward the possibility that they are more controlled opposition.
You are cryptical. Q is cryptical. Freemasons are cryptical. I dont like crypticism, I like clarity, but I'll tolerate it as long as I see results. You are very much more into occult crypticism than I ever was as a Freemason.
Why not judge Trump, Q and Kanye by the effect they have? Q has the effect of turning people into researchers. Trump has the effect of making good peace deals, being politically incorrect and getting people jobs. Kanye has the effect of giving black America a different viewpoint than the Dems welfare-state. Those are GOOD things.
If I were to buy into your line of thinking, Id have to suspect everybody, including myself, regardless of the effect they have.

Four Democrats Caught in Voter Fraud Ring Targeting Seniors in Fort Worth (Video)
The Democrats were stealing votes from elderly citizens on Fort Worth’s north side.
These people allegedly were paid to target older voters on the north side “in a scheme to generate a large number of mail ballots and then harvest those ballots for specific candidates in 2016,” the statement read.
Meet The Young Virginia Democrat That Registered 19 Dead People To Vote In Virginia
Meet, Andrew Spieles, a student at James Madison University, and apparently "Lead Organizer" for HarrisonburgVOTES. According to the Daily News-Record, Spieles confessed to re-registering 19 deceased Virginians to vote in the 2016 election cycle.
While this should come as a surprise to precisely 0 people, Spieles just happens to be Democrat who, accorded to a deleted FaceBook post, apparently recently ran for Caucus Chair of the Virginia Young Democrats.
HarrisonburgVOTES was founded by Joseph Fitzgerald who, "shockingly", is also a prominent democrat in Harrisonburg. Fitzgerald is currently Chairman of the Sixth Congressional District Democratic Committee in Virginia and the former Mayor of Harrisonburg.

Those musicians and/or their spokespeople are fools. President Trump should find artists who were screwed out of royalties, and play their music at rallies.
“The Music Modernization Act closes loopholes in our digital royalty laws to ensure that songwriters, artists, producers and providers receive fair payment for the licensing of music,”

I also noticed that on the the same link for Blue Voyant, that former Clinton WH Chief of staff, Erskine Bowles is listed. Bowles was Chief of staff from 1997-1998, and succeded by none other than John Podesta. Bowles is an obvious tie back tot the Clintons, but it wouldn't surprise me if there are others.
I can't remember how, but I came across a 2014 speech at the Black Hat conference at the Manalay Bay hotel in Las Vegas. The keynote speaker was Dan Geer, the Chief Information Security Officer at In-Q-Tel. His speech was titled, "Cybersecurity as Realpolitik".
A few takeaways from the speech, not knowing anything about Geer. First, he is out of his element when he starts talking, but you can tell he has a whole bunch to say, and he does. Second, you can tell he is super smart respcting the big picture consequences of the online wold we are heading into, headlong. Finally, listening to his entire speech, and his proposed solutions, my gut tells me he is a white hat.
I keeep coming back to the thought that In-Q-Tel is a spy vs spy operation, and the white hats are running the company, drawing the black hats into their own sphere.
My apologies for the long, boring video, but the content warrents it's posting in my opinion.
Duff & Phelps is the global advisor that protects, restores and maximizes value for clients in the areas of valuation, corporate finance, investigations, disputes, cyber security, compliance and regulatory matters, and other governance-related issues.

With Kroll, a division of Duff & Phelps since 2018, the firm has nearly 3,500 professionals in 28 countries around the world.
On December 30, 2012, Duff & Phelps, announced that it had entered into a definitive merger agreement under which a consortium, comprising controlled affiliates of or funds managed by The Carlyle Group, Stone Point Capital LLC, Pictet & Cie and Edmond de Rothschild Group.
In 2015, Duff & Phelps made two significant acquisitions that significantly expanded the geographic footprint of the firm and broadened its service offering. The first was of Kinetic Partners, a UK-based financial regulatory consulting firm with 200 employees. As a result of this acquisition, Duff & Phelps launched its Financial Regulatory and Compliance practice.
Leaving because of a major policy disagreement with his employer would not be out of character for Stamos. He reportedly left Yahoo (which of course was absorbed into Aol to form TechCrunch’s parent company, Oath) because of the company’s choice to allow U.S. intelligence access to certain user data. One may imagine a similar gulf in understanding between him and others at Facebook, especially on something as powerfully divisive as this election interference story or the Cambridge Analytica troubles.
Influencers: Trump won’t improve cybersecurity
Three-quarters of Passcode's pool of digital security and privacy experts say they do not believe cybersecurity will improve with the Republican in the Oval Office.
“The reason for ‘Yes’ is that, in cybersecurity, offense has permanent structural advantage. AI applied to offense will result in Mexican standoff, which will be called ‘peace.’ - Dan Geer chief information security officer for In-Q-Tel
“With change in administrations there is opportunity, but in the near term they will be learning how to govern. While cybersecurity played out as a backdrop to the election it was not focal to Trump’s campaign. Immigration, trade, infrastructure, and Obamacare reform will suck all the oxygen out of the room and leave little room for the (civilian) security community to make gains.” - Jeff Moss, founder of Black Hat and DEF CON
