The Pentagon has awarded the shadowy Washington, DC based Lincoln Group a psychological warfare operations (PsyOps) a/k/a propaganda contract worth $100 million to plant fake news in Iraqi newspapers -- even though the principals of the company have no experience in public relations or marketing.

The principal of Lincoln Group, Christian Bailey, is a 30-year-old Oxford graduate with no public relations experience. "Christian Bailey may not be his real name: a number of student associates said at some point during his four years that he changed his name from Yusefovich - an unlikely surname for someone called Christian," reports the UK Independent.

Is this another fake news payoff, like the gay hooker/ journalist "Jeff Gannon" for "services rendered" to the Republican elite?

From all accounts Bailey moved to the United States in the late 1990s,working in hedge funds in San Francisco and New York.

More importantly Bailey was the co-chairman of the New York chapter of Lead21, a networking group for young Republicans.
