Ex-MI6 officer Christopher Steele tells @haynesdeborah about Russian interference in #Brexit

Palantir who rptdly taught #CambridgeAnalytica how to scrape data run the NHS #COVID19 data store with Cummings-linked Vote Leave firm, #FacultyAI

Christopher Steele also compiled a dossier alleging collusion btw Russia & the 2016 Trump election campaign

Were Brexit & Trump part of an intelligence-backed, right-wing plan for power through genomic data?

The #PalantirThree & #RussiaReport offer clues

Earlier this week, #ChristopherSteele told @GStephanopoulos that he’s speaking out now because “the problems we identified back in 2016 haven’t gone away, & arguably have actually got worse."

On 21/7/20, the #RussiaReport was finally published

What’s most chilling about the report is the revelation that the govt & intelligence agencies had actively avoided looking for evidence that Russia interfered in Brexit vote

Evidence of something sinister hiding in plain sight

It’s easy to see why it might be in the interests of Russian & Steve Bannon to hollow out UK democracy, but:

1. Why would British intelligence agencies allow this?

2. How could this be in Britain’s national interest?

Could the answer lie in “genomics”?

Population-wide genomic data offers huge potential benefits to an economy

Diagnostics in healthcare are often touted as a key benefit

But genomics will inform all aspects of social policy & give unparalleled power to those who control the data

This is where the danger lies.

In 2017, then Foreign Secretary Johnson was asked by @RhonddaBryant if the Russians had interfered in the British elections or the #Brexit referendum

He seemed unsure

When pressed, @BorisJohnson says:

“I haven't seen any evidence. Not a sausage. Niet.”

"The govt have actively avoided looking for evidence Russia interfered”

The most chilling thing about the Russia Report is that MI5 & MI6 chose to turn a blind eye

In 2019, during the investigation into Russian collusion in the US election/#Trump victory, @DevinNunes told Mueller

“What we’re trying to figure out here is if our Nato allies or Boris Johnson has been compromised
