✨Fun Fact: John Bolton’s SuperPAC and the NRA were both Cambridge Analytica clients.

Bolton’s has authority over US election cyber security. Our nation’s top civilian breach hunter has delivered Bolton’s SuperPAC’s agency’s subcontractor’s source code and other data forensics to the authorities. Let that sink in.
Could also be “someone sitting on their bed that weighs 400 pounds” ain’t that right, John?
John Bolton! Conservative thinktanks under attack from the Kremlin. But not Heritage. That is so weird. Only the anti-kleptocracy shops like Hudson. Wild. nytimes.com/2018/08/21/us/…

Criminal prosecution of Cambridge Analytica (SCL Elections Ltd) begins in UK tomorrow. It’s a crime to defy an order from the Information Commissioner’s Office. They refuse to disclose a complete US voter file despite a legal order from their regulator. ico.org.uk/media/action-w…
Meanwhile in the USA, our closest counterpart is the FTC and it is shutdown. Its Facebook Cambridge Analytica investigation is delayed. The FTC vs D-Link trial is now also delayed to the summer. #ShutdownStories
For the record, I won’t be attending the trial tomorrow, but I will share news as it comes in. I’m not the plaintiff/complainant here. This is the ICO vs SCL, the UK regulator simply upholding the Data Protection Act of 1998. Not sure if we’ll see Nix or Wheatland cross-examined.

Brexit movie premiering on UK TV now (HBO in the US later this month). Apparently, it’s a fictionalization first and foremost. #UncivilWar
Imagine casting Robert Mercer
HBO audiences in America would need an understanding of the British campaign finance law scandal that taints Brexit to spot it in this Easter Egg.

First President to engage in memetic warfare while holding a million federal employees and contractors hostage.
Trolling is Trump doctrine, leveraging Kremlin and DARPA methods.
The GoT wall meme is an intricately layered “in-group” cultural signifier. At the core it’s Trumpists vs everyone else, Us vs Them anti-immigration, those who get Game of Thrones reference vs those who don’t, those who spread meme to endorse it vs those who spread meme in dissent

October 27, 2016: 1 day before the October Surprise Bloomberg DROPS maj story RE:Trump data ops. Team Trump invited in media to share their secret sauce & unveil "Project Alamo." Never made sense to me

So I set out to Debunk "Inside the Trump Bunker"

URL Project Pt 2 [THREAD]
Those of you who know me know I've been working on this for a while. By breaking down Trump/Pence tracking links, I reverse-engineered Trump's marketing prog in search of the truth. What was Project Alamo?

I believe the media has gotten the Trump data narrative wrong.

The Trump/Pence Facebook dark posts were not used for voter suppression. I've searched far & wide. Journos have asked me for examples of their 2016 FB suppression ads--they don't exist.

NRA is still at it.
FEC Complaint
SENATE 2018

Josh Hawley’s Senate campaign & NRA's PAC have engaged in an elaborate scheme to conceal illegal coordination against @McCaskill4MO,
in a race that could decide control of the Senate.

mcclatchydc.com/latest-news/ar…
Hawley’s campaign employs the same people to produce ads as the NRA Political Victory Fund.

The NRA PVF has spent $1M+ on behalf of the MO GOP AG'S campaign against Sen. Claire McCaskill.

It has set records for spending by outside groups in MISSOURI. campaignlegal.org/document/clc-c…
The overlap in personnel is strong evidence of coordination between the PAC & Josh Hawley's campaign. - Brendan Fischer, dir of the fed reform program at the Nonpartisan Campaign Legal Center.

Complaint filed by CLC, co-signed by Giffords, org lead by former Rep. Gabby Giffords

The entire Trump era has been a festering pit of barely disguised ongoing corruption. But the whole sordid era has not had a 24-hour period quite like the orgy of criminality which we have just experienced.

Some perspective on this Guardian/NYT Cambridge Analytica Story. nytimes.com/2018/03/17/us/…
This isn’t a “data breach.” And the underlying data gathered isn’t that scary.

It was completely legal to collect under Facebook API rules through 2014 (2015 if you count the sunset period)
Numerous campaign Facebook apps in the 2012-14 period collected data about Facebook friends. The Obama campaign called it targeted sharing.
